00:00The head of the Church of England resigned after an investigation found that he failed

00:07to tell police about serial physical and sexual abuse by a volunteer at Christian summer camps

00:12as soon as he became aware of it.

00:15Pressure had been growing on the Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, since Thursday

00:20when his refusal to accept responsibility for his failure to report the abuse in England

00:25and in Africa in 2013, kindled anger about a lack of accountability within the English

00:30Church.

00:32The news comes against the backdrop of widespread historical sexual abuse in the Church of England.

00:38A 2022 report by the Independent Inquiry Child Sexual Abuse Organisation found that

00:44deference to the authority of priests, taboos surrounding the discussion of sexuality and

00:49a culture that gave more support to alleged perpetrators than their victims helped make

00:54the Church of England a place where abusers could hide.

01:03The Biden administration said that Israel made good but limited progress in increasing

01:07the flow of humanitarian aid to Gaza and that it therefore would not limit arms transfers

01:13to Israel as it threatened to do a month ago.

01:18The US had initially set a deadline last month for Israel to send more food and aid into

01:23Gaza or risk scaled back military support.

01:27However, relief groups say conditions are worse than at any point in the 13-month-old

01:32war.

01:33The decision from the US, Israel's key ally and largest provider of arms and other military

01:38aid, comes despite aid organisations declaring that Israel has failed to meet US demands

01:44to allow greater humanitarian access to the Gaza Strip.

01:48Eight international aid groups said in a report that Israel failed to meet US criteria and

01:53in fact took steps that dramatically worsened the situation on the ground, particularly

01:58in northern Gaza.

02:06Germany's biggest industrial union reached an agreement over a wage dispute within the

02:11country's metal and electrical industry.

02:13The new agreement by trade union IG Metall stipulated a wage increase amounting to 5.5%

02:20over the next 25 months.

02:22We were in an extremely difficult situation, with positions that were very far apart.

02:28We struggled hard and intensively all night and we came up with solutions.

02:34Workers initially demanded a 7% wage increase over a period of 12 months.

02:39In response, employers had offered a wage increase of 3.6% over a period of 27 months.

02:47We have in many cases developed the regulations that we already have today, which have been

02:54agreed in the world of tariffs since 2018.

02:58Millions of employees at companies including Mercedes-Benz, BMW and Siemens will be affected

03:04by the agreement.

03:07Hundreds of thousands of employees across Germany have taken part in warning strikes

03:12over the last few weeks.

03:54A 2022 report by the Independent Inquiry Child Sexual Abuse Organisation found that deference

04:00to the authority of priests, taboos surrounding the discussion of sexuality and a culture

04:05that gave more support to alleged perpetrators than their victims helped make the Church

05:14in northern Gaza.

05:17The Azeri president used his opening speech at COP29 to launch what has been described

05:24as a strong attack on Western governments that buy his gas and yet criticise his country

05:31for its fossil fuel-dependent economy.

05:34President Aliyev used this platform in front of world leaders to repeat that Azerbaijan's

05:39natural resources were, quote, a gift from God.

05:43Every natural resource, whether it's oil, gas, wind, sun, gold, silver, copper, all

05:52that are natural resources.

05:56And countries should not be blamed for having them and should not be blamed for bringing

06:02these resources to the market because the market needs them.

06:06The people need them.

06:09So this is my message and as a president of COP29, of course we will be a strong advocate

06:16for green transition and we are doing it, but at the same time we must be realistic.

06:22The Azeri president's words created a buzz among COP attendees.

06:27We spoke to some of them to hear their reaction.

06:30He is right and not right in a way because it really is God's plan to have the natural

06:35resources in certain countries and the fact that he's pointed out the hypocrisy is something

06:39we should really appreciate.

06:40It is true, but at the same time we cannot deny that fossil fuels are harmful.

06:46So what do we do in return?

06:48We really have to make sure that the green energy transformation also gathers traction.

06:53The only way everybody moves is if you know that it's done fairly.

06:59And he's right that the signals that need to happen, of course, need to happen from

07:04the very, very big polluters, those that have been polluting for over 100 years.

07:08And so what the United States does, what the European Union does, what the UK does matters

07:13because that sends a signal.

07:15Aliyev's speech set the tone for the leaders gathering ahead of the tough negotiations

07:20on the details of the final agreement.

07:23Giorgio Arlandi for Euronews in Baku.

07:28The EU top diplomat Kaya Kalas has said the bloc must back Ukraine against Russia for

07:33as long as it takes and persuade the United States that its strategic interests in China

07:39are tied up in the outcome of the war.

07:42The Estonian politician spoke on Tuesday during the hearing which she must pass to be appointed

07:47as EU's foreign policy chief.

07:51Her comments come as questions continue to be raised following the re-election of Donald

07:55Trump.

07:56Please note that the total time of this – we will seek connections, we will seek meetings

08:03with incoming president-elect and his team to form common policies because what I see

08:11globally around the world is that we are the strongest allies and we have to keep sticking

08:17together.

08:18If the United States is worried about what happens in the South China Sea, they should

08:24be most worried about how we react to Russia's war of aggression in Ukraine.

08:29So it is also in their interest to do so.

08:33Kaya is set to take over the top EU post from Josep Borrell but concerns grow if the EU

08:39will continue to receive Washington's support on Ukraine.

08:42Beijing is being accused of giving Moscow very substantial help to beef up its war machine.

08:49With Donald Trump set to take over the White House, fears continue to mount over a likely

08:54change in US policy.

09:05Final exam day for future European commissioners if no last minute challenges arise.

09:12Six designated vice presidents faced hearings at the European Parliament with Italian Raffaele

09:16Fito of the ultra-conservative ECR group sparking particular debate as the nominee for cohesion

09:22policy.

09:27A former European affairs minister and three-time MEP, Fito faced criticism for lacking clarity

09:33on whether some cohesion funds should be redirected to defence and security.

09:55Another key issue was whether to centralise the use of cohesion funds.

10:21Led by the Green group, the final decision on Fito has been postponed.

10:25However, it appears to be more of a tactic among political factions.

10:31If one candidate is rejected, others may follow, further delaying the formation of the new

10:36commission.
