00:00Delegates seek ways to hit global climate targets as the COP29 summit opens in Azerbaijan.

00:10UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer has arrived in Paris to join French President Macron for

00:17an armistice ceremony.

00:22Several people have been killed and dozens injured in Russian strikes on the Ukrainian

00:26cities of Mykolaiv and Zaporizhzhia.

00:44Their meeting signifies a celebration of the two countries' friendship, as nations across

00:49the world pay tribute to their fallen soldiers in World War One.

00:54This year also marks the 120th anniversary of the Entente Cordiale, the historic agreement

01:00between France and the United Kingdom.

01:05Starmer was personally invited to Paris by Emmanuel Macron and the two leaders are expected

01:10to discuss a number of foreign policy issues including the war in Ukraine and the conflict

01:15in the Middle East.

01:20The trip marks a significant step in Starmer's plans to reset relations with the European

01:25Union following the UK's exit in 2020.

01:34COP29 kicks off in Baku on Monday.

01:37Delegates from around the world have gathered here hoping to find ways to prevent global

01:41temperatures from rising and to keep the promises made under the Paris agreement.

01:46But what should we expect from the biggest event of the year to address the climate crisis?

01:51The summit is being called the Finance COP, as countries will, for the first time in 15

01:55years, review the scope and structure of financing for developing nations to support climate

02:01action.

02:02Countries are also encouraged to lay the groundwork for stronger national plans to curb emissions.

02:08Turning ambition into action remains a top priority on the COP presidency agenda.

02:13But how can this goal be achieved?

02:15We put that question to the COP29 president.

02:18We need to consolidate all the efforts of all countries because it's only with consolidation,

02:26with the good motivation for all the participants, we have the chance to have a success.

02:34I think the main role for Baku COP, for Azerbaijan, for COP29 team, to be the interconnector between

02:43the developing countries and develop between the south and north, between east and west.

02:50The UN climate change high-level champion for COP29 told us that in addition to focusing

02:55on climate change, there is a need for active private sector involvement to achieve sustainable

03:00goals.

03:01And when we speak about the green transition, we speak about the new types of economy overall.

03:05So the role of the private sector in the global climate action is absolutely crucial.

03:10It's so important because private sector is coming with technologies, with innovation,

03:14with consumer behavior, so they can influence consumer behavior.

03:21So it's important to engage with private sector.

03:23Experts say concrete results must be achieved in Baku in order to make progress toward the

03:28Paris agreement's goals.

03:30Despite last year's gains, negotiations on the new climate targets have exposed divisions

03:35among countries.

03:37Meanwhile, the talks are unfolding in a very complex geopolitical scenario.

03:42George Orlandi for Euronews in Baku, Azerbaijan.

03:50Germany's Chancellor Olaf Scholz has said he's willing to hold a confidence vote in

03:55parliament before the end of the year after the ruling three-party coalition collapsed.

04:00In an interview on Sunday night with public broadcaster ARD, Scholz said, I'm not glued

04:05to my post.

04:07He'd originally scheduled the vote for the 15th of January, but in the face of increasing

04:11pressure is now considering holding it this year, paving the way for snap elections.

04:17Scholz is widely expected to lose the vote.

04:20In that case, President Frank-Walter Steinmeier will have 21 days to dissolve the Bundestag

04:25and fresh elections must take place within 60 days of parliament's closure.

04:31Scholz also denied he'd provoked the coalition's collapse, saying he'd done everything he could

04:35to keep it together.

04:37The so-called traffic light coalition collapsed on the 6th of November after Scholz fired

04:41finance minister Christian Lindner.

04:44Speaking to the press at the time, Scholz said Lindner had broken his trust too many

04:49times.

04:50The coalition had been at odds for some time, particularly over economic and fiscal policy.

04:59Five people have died and several injured following a Russian drone strike on Ukraine's

05:04southern city of Mykolaiv.

05:08The city's mayor, Oleksandr Senkovich, said Russia attacked overnight using kamikaze drones,

05:14destroying a house and damaging a residential building which set alight.

05:21Meanwhile in Zaporizhia, one person has died and at least 21 wounded in three separate

05:26Russian strikes that damaged residential buildings.

05:33Residents are being evacuated and rescue operations are still ongoing.

05:39The attacks come as Russia launched its largest overnight drone strike on Ukraine since the

05:45start of the full-scale invasion, with Ukrainian air defences detecting a record 145 drones

05:52on Saturday night.

05:55Ukraine is continuing to return fire, launching a massive drone strike on Moscow and its suburbs

06:01overnight into Sunday.

06:08Donald Trump's team has dismissed remarks by Republican strategists that the new administration's

06:14plan to end the war in Ukraine is about peace and not territory.

06:18In an interview with the BBC, Brian Lanza claimed that the incoming Trump government

06:22didn't see restoring lost territory as a priority.

06:26But a spokesperson for the president-elect said Lanza didn't speak for Trump.

06:31On the campaign trail, Trump claimed he could end the war in Ukraine within a day without

06:35explaining how.

06:37But he also hasn't ruled out the possibility that Kiev may have to cede territory to Moscow

06:41to bring about an end to the war.

06:44Russia seized the Crimean Peninsula in 2024 and in 2022 annexed four areas of Ukraine

06:50without ever maintaining full control over any of them.

06:55Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky has repeatedly said the full withdrawal of Russia's

06:59forces and the return of all territory is a must if peace is to be established.

07:07US President-elect Donald Trump has announced that his former Director of Immigration Enforcement

07:13Tom Homan will serve as the border czar in his new administration.

07:19Homan was widely expected to be offered a position related to the border following Trump's

07:25pledge to launch the largest deportation operation in the country's history.

07:32Homan has told US media that ICE will move to implement Trump's plans in a humane manner.

07:44Authorities in Valencia have ruled out any imminent resignations from the regional government

07:49as anger continues to grow over the response to catastrophic flooding.

07:54Thousands of people staged a protest on Saturday night accusing the regional government of

07:59sending out public warnings about the dangers of the flooding too slowly.

08:04A group of protesters demanding the resignation of regional president Carlos Mazón clashed

08:09with riot police in front of the city hall.

08:12The EFE news agency said at least 31 police officers were injured in the violence.

08:18But the region's vice president said no one would be stepping down as to do so would be

08:23a betrayal of the victims.

08:25At least 222 people have been killed in Spain's worst natural disaster in decades.

08:31The flooding started after torrential rain lashed the eastern region of Valencia on 29

08:36October with some areas receiving a year's worth of rain in just eight hours.

08:42The central government in Madrid has mobilized thousands of troops and police officers to

08:46help with relief and clean-up operations.

08:49Thousands of ordinary citizens have also stepped up to help with no definite estimate as to

08:54exactly how many have come forward.

08:57The full extent of the damage is unknown but Spain's consortium for insurance compensation

09:02estimates that it will pay out at least 3.5 billion euros in compensation.

09:14Paris police have said that 4,000 officers will be deployed for a France versus Israel

09:19football match to ensure security a week after violence erupted in Amsterdam.

09:24France and Israel are playing in a UEFA Nations League match on Thursday that French President

09:29Emmanuel Macron will attend.

09:32Paris' police chief said that 2,500 officers would be deployed around the Stade de France

09:37stadium in addition to 1,500 others around Paris and on public transportation.

09:43Laurent Nunez said an anti-terrorist security perimeter would be set up around the stadium

09:48and that police won't tolerate any violence.

09:51Nunez also said that French organizers have been in contact with Israeli authorities and

09:56security forces in order to prepare for the match.

10:01It comes after violence erupted in Amsterdam on Thursday following an Ajax versus Maccabi

10:06Tel Aviv game.

10:08Video circulating online ahead of the match showed a large crowd of Israeli fans chanting

10:13anti-Arab slurs on their way to the stadium.

10:16Afterwards, youths on scooters went in search of Israeli fans, punching and kicking them

10:20in attacks apparently inspired by calls on social media to target Jewish people.

10:26Five people were treated at hospitals and dozens were arrested after the attacks, which

10:30were condemned as anti-Semitic by authorities in Amsterdam, Israel and across Europe.

10:36On Sunday, Dutch police detained several people for taking part in a demonstration in central

10:41Amsterdam that had been forbidden following the violence.

10:47Riot police clashed with demonstrators at an anti-fascist march in Bologna on Saturday.

10:57Around 200 anarchists joined the thousand or so anti-fascist demonstrators.

11:03The march was organized by left-wing groups, near to where a far-right march was taking

11:08place against crime and what its organizers described as degradation in Italy.

11:16Police fired tear gas and blocked the streets where the far-right groups were marching.

11:21The demonstrations happened a week before elections are held in the Emilia-Romagna region.

11:30The current president of the regional government is Irene Priolo, who is from the centre-left.

11:36She took over from Stefano Bonaccini, who became a member of the European Parliament

11:41in July.
