00:00With the summit in overtime, delegates at COP29 agree to a $300 billion climate finance

00:07deal for poorer countries.

00:11Ukraine has reportedly lost over 40% of land seized in their cross-border surprise incursion

00:16into the Russian region of Kursk.

00:25It's past 3 a.m. and a new climate finance deal has just landed here in Baku.

00:31After hours of negotiations, countries have reached a compromise on the key sticking point,

00:36the so-called New Collective Quantified Goal, the very core issue of this summit.

00:41They've now agreed to provide $300 billion in annual climate finance by 2035.

00:47Earlier on Saturday, negotiators from the Least Developed Countries Group and the Alliance

00:52of Small Island States walked out of the meeting room as discussions between developed

00:58and developing nations over the latest draft text intensified.

01:02The debit over raising the $250 billion proposal made on Friday further deepened the divide

01:09between countries.

01:10The G7 Seven Plus China Group, representing over 130 developing nations, demanded at least

01:16the $500 billion annually by 2035, calling for more transparency about the structure

01:23and form of these funds.

01:25Many admitted it has not been an easy journey, and while the EU welcomed the outcome with

01:30a commissioner for climate stating in the plenary that the $1.3 trillion objective can

01:35still be achieved, India voiced its disappointment.

01:40Governments have also reached agreements on carbon markets and found a compromise on adaptation.

01:46Even though the new climate finance deal doesn't fully meet the requests from poorer countries,

01:51it has opened a new chapter in the climate talks and most importantly saved COP29 from

01:57the brink of collapse.

02:07Ukraine is reportedly losing ground in the Russian province of Kursk, with the senior

02:12Ukrainian military official saying over 40% of land seized has been lost.

02:20Russia deployed tens of thousands of troops to Kursk after Kiev's forces launched their

02:25incursion, surprising Moscow two and a half years into their full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

02:33Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky commented on the situation in the region, saying the

02:38goal of Russian President Vladimir Putin was to push Kiev's troops out by January

02:4420th of next year.

02:47Russian officials have released footage of Kursk residents returning to the area, with

02:52authorities saying more than 120,000 civilians were evacuated after Ukraine's incursion

02:58into the region in August.

03:02This past week has seen the most significant escalation in hostilities that Ukraine has

03:06witnessed and marks a new chapter in the nearly three-year war, one tinged with uncertainty

03:12and fear.

03:17The body of Rabbi Zvi Koigan, an Israeli Moldovan who went missing in the UAE, has been found

03:24after he was killed in what Israel claims to be a heinous anti-Semitic terror incident.

03:31A statement from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office said Israel will act with

03:36all means to seek justice with the criminals responsible for his death.

03:42There has not yet been an immediate comment from the UAE.

03:52At least 20 people have been killed in Israeli airstrikes on the Lebanese capital Beirut

03:58as diplomats scramble to broker a ceasefire.

04:02Lebanon's health ministry said 66 people were wounded in the strikes, the fourth such attacks

04:07on central Beirut in less than a week.

04:10The strikes destroyed an eight-story building with a Hezbollah representative saying none

04:15of the group's officials were inside at the time.

04:18The latest escalation comes after a U.S. envoy traveled to the region in a bid to strike

04:23a deal to end months of fighting between Israel and Hezbollah that has erupted into

04:28a full-blown war.

04:30The current proposal calls for a two-month ceasefire during which Israeli forces would

04:34withdraw from Lebanon and Hezbollah would end its armed presence along the southern

04:38border.

04:40Thousands more Lebanese troops would patrol the border area with UN peacekeepers and an

04:44international committee would monitor the deal's implementation.
