00:00The UN's climate change conference is reportedly on the edge of collapse, with no agreement

00:05on a new climate financing regime in sight.

00:10Warsaw Mayor Rafał Truskowski has been chosen by Tusk's civil coalition for next year's

00:16presidential election.

00:20The EU's top diplomat was the keynote speaker at a conference promoting a two-state solution

00:25between Israel and Palestine.

00:30As diplomats scrambled to broker a ceasefire, at least 11 people were killed by Israeli

00:36airstrikes in central Beirut.

00:44On its first day of overtime, the UN climate change conference in Baku does not seem closer

00:49to an agreement on a new climate financing regime.

00:52A local news outlet, A-News, is reporting that the talks are on the verge of collapse,

00:57citing sources close to the presidency.

00:59To the developing countries, the proposed annual financial goal of a quarter trillion

01:03dollars is far too low.

01:05Civil society groups agree.

01:09What we see on the table from two days ago is that especially member states such as European

01:13Union is only willing to dedicate over 200 billion and starting from 2035 its implementation

01:21phase.

01:22This is not what we advocated for and we feel utterly, utterly ashamed of the current state

01:26of progress.

01:28The final plenary session, now scheduled for 7 o'clock in the evening local time, should

01:33reveal the fate of COP29, if indeed it takes place.

01:37It had been announced for Friday evening already, only to be cancelled shortly afterwards.

01:45Warsaw Mayor Rafał Truskowski has been chosen by Prime Minister Donald Tusk's centrist

01:51Civic Coalition as its candidate for next year's presidential election, defeating Foreign

01:57Minister Radek Sikorski.

01:59Tusk announced the decision on Saturday, a day after over 22,000 party members voted

02:06in a primary.

02:08According to the Prime Minister, Truskowski won nearly 75% of the votes and Sikorski slightly

02:15over 25%.

02:16The primary process distinguishes Tusk's party from its main rival, the National Conservative

02:23Law and Justice Party, as their candidate will be hand-picked by leader Jaroslaw Kaczynski.

02:29Tusk needs an ally as president to fulfil his agenda, currently hindered by Duda's veto

02:35power and coalition opposition.

02:37The presidential election's first round is expected in May.

02:46The EU's outgoing top foreign diplomat met with Israeli and Palestinian representatives,

02:51promoting a two-state solution known as the Geneva Initiative in Cyprus.

02:57Talks come amidst the background of a catastrophic situation in Gaza and military escalation

03:02in Lebanon, where he headed to afterwards.

03:08Every day there is a toll of innocent civilians being killed.

03:12I am getting tired of issuing a statement every day expressing concern for the people

03:20that were killed yesterday, 31 days, 40 the following day, 90 the following day.

03:27A ceasefire is absolutely needed.

03:30Barel underscored the fact that both Palestinians and Israelis gathering and trying to imagine

03:35how to overcome the situation has a strong value, saying those at the event were on the

03:40right side of history.

03:46At least 11 people were killed and dozens injured after Israeli airstrikes devastated

03:51parts of central Beirut, with diplomats scrambling to broker a ceasefire in the country.

03:57The strike destroyed an eight-story building, leaving a crater in the ground, and was the

04:02fourth on the Lebanese capital in less than a week.

04:06Beirut's civil defence said the reported death toll was provisional, as emergency responders

04:10were still digging through the rubble looking for survivors.

04:13A separate drone strike in the southern port city of Tyre killed one person and injured

04:18another, according to the state-run national news agency.

04:23The news comes as heavy ground fighting between Israeli forces and Hezbollah militants continues

04:28in southern Lebanon, with Israeli troops pushing farther from the border.

04:33A US envoy travelled to the region earlier this week in an attempt to broker a ceasefire

04:38between Israel and Hezbollah, claiming a truce was within grasp.
