Transcript of News at Ten | Storm Bert hits UK with snow, heavy rain and 82mph gusts

It's 10:00. This is Sky News at 10:00, our top story. Storm Bert brings heavy winds, torrential rain, and snow to large parts of the UK and Ireland. A man killed after a tree falls on his car in Hampshire, while 10 people are rescued from a landslide in North Wales. The storm has caused severe disruption and flooding, leaving this Donovan Street completely inundated. Also, tonight, ahead of this week's vote on assisted dying, the Justice Secretary warns the UK is on a slippery slope towards death on demand. Back from the brink, hopes of an imminent deal at the COP Climate Summit in Azerbaijan, despite an earlier walkout by developing nations. A teenager from London is told he will appear in a Dubai court next month, accused of having sex with a 17-year-old British girl while on holiday. Plus, a quick return to tennis for Sir Andy Murray, who will coach one of his greatest rivals, Novak Djokovitch. We'll take a first look at tomorrow's front pages in our press preview from Good evening. Storm Bert has hit the UK, bringing with it heavy rain, snow, and winds of up to 82 miles an hour. The second-named Storm of the Season left thousands of homes without power, flooded roads and railway lines, and led to flight cancelations.

One man died after a tree fell on his car in Hampshire, while 10 people were rescued from a house in North Wales following a landslide. Well, nearly 27,000 homes across the northeast, Yorkshire and North Lincolnshire experienced power cuts. The National Grid says about 4,000 homes across the Midlands, the southwest of England, and South Wales were also left without power. In Ireland, meanwhile, at least 11,000 homes and businesses were left without power, with counties in the west and northwest worst affected. Several flood alerts and warnings have been issued by the Environment Agency. Asna Hurnag has tonight's first report.

Billed as a multi-hazard weather event, this storm has come with a heady blend of rain, wind, and snow that's attacked almost every inch of the country. Arctic blasts hit North and West Yorkshire first thing, bringing with it five hours of heavy snowfall, transforming places like Ilkley into a picture-perfect postcard, and it wasn't going to stop some from getting around.

We're avid park runners, but Parkrun has been canceled this morning everywhere, so we thought we'd come and just do a run around Ilkley.

When it was properly snowing earlier, it was freezing in your face.

It was nice this morning, and it's coming down with a bit of rain now, so it's a bit slushy. But those conditions came with a catalog of chaos. From here, no trains ran north of Carlyle as roads began to resemble a ski slope. Some were risking it as others thought better of it. These drivers on a main road even had to be dug out. Snowplows weaved through residential streets in Menston. Whilst in Edinburgh, shoppers were caught off guard by the unseasonal weather. As well as bridge closures like the new Queensbury Crossing and cancelations at some airports, 60,000 properties in West and Northwest Island, and 4,000 homes across parts of England were left without power. In Donegal, entire streets have been consumed by torrents of water. This is what the train line between as burn and porta down now looks like. Locals say these are unprecedented conditions. In Wales, flood alerts are now flood warnings where they expect rivers to swell. Some already have, and led landslides like this one, near Wrexham, downstream from where people were evacuated from their homes. There's been flooding, too, in Shropshire. Here in the southwest, it's strong winds and heavy rain that they're contending with.

Parts of this region could see 80 millimeters of rain by the end of the weekend. Businesses in Weymouth have closed in preparation. Jane is one of a handful still standing strong.

It's supposed to get windy, and it's supposed to be just as bad tomorrow as well.

But who knows? I've opened and I've had some customers today.

It's likely going to be a long night for many as the UK battles a storm which continues to be blustry, bruising, and brutal.

And Asha is live for us now in Weymouth, and Asha, it looks pretty blustry still.

It is, Barbara. I think it's the breadth, but also the scope of this storm that's really causing the alarm here. We know we've seen a variety of conditions, from snow and ice to where I am now, wind and rain. And the yellow weather warnings here in Weymouth are set to last until midday tomorrow. We're expecting with speeds of up to 50 miles per hour here. But really, for parts of Yorkshire and for those parts of Scotland that are seeing those blizzard-like conditions, for them, the worry is that that will thaw overnight. And the concern is, of course, will that cause surface water, which will then lead to flood flooding, perhaps even flooding as bad as we've seen in areas like Shropshire in the Midlands, but also in parts of Wales, too, which have seen it pretty badly. Here in Wymouth, this is traditionally, can you believe it, a summer seaside resort, but they do still get those winter visitors. Today, we've seen people here celebrating early Christmas parties, events, and such like. And they've really taken a hit. Many of the businesses here have decided to close up early because they're worried about the impact of this weather condition, not only today, but also tomorrow.

Tomorrow, too. Events like Christmas lights displays have been canceled, and football matches, too. We've been told from meteorologists that we're not out of the woods yet with the worst, they say, yet to come. Vicious winds, they say to expect. But also in areas like this, In southwest of England, we might see up to a month's worth of rainfall by the end of the weekend.

Asha Hurinag with the latest there from a very windy and rainy weymouth. Asna, thank you. The Justice Secretary has added to criticism of the assisted dying bill, which is due to be voted on next week, calling the plan's State Death Service. Shabana Mahmoud has written to her constituents, saying she's profoundly concerned about Friday's Commons vote. Well, our Chief Political Correspondent, John Craig, is in Westminster tonight. So what exactly is the Justice Secretary concerned about?

Well, this is a damning indictment, a slippery slope, she says. This is the letter. It runs to three pages. It was on Tuesday, the 19th of November. And she begins by talking about how, as a practicing Muslim, she believes in the sanctity and value of human life. Now, this outspoken outburst, I think we can call it, comes despite the cabinet secretary, Simon Cais, writing to government ministers back in October, saying, Look, don't get involved. Don't try and influence the votes. Use discretion, even when you're communicating with your It comes after the PM rebuke, we're told, West Streeting for speaking out. Anyway, in her hard-hitting letter, she begins by saying how profoundly concerned she is. And then she says this. She says, By taking this first step, I believe we place ourselves on a slippery slope towards death on demand. And then she says, I also worry about placing so great a destructive power in the hands of the State. She says, Sadly, recent scandals have reminded us that the State and those acting on its behalf are not always benign. I have always held the view that for this reason, the State should serve It should have a clear role.

It should protect and preserve life, not take it away. The state should never offer death as a service. It really is a pretty brutal demolition of the assisted dying bill, which MPs will We'll vote on here in the Commons on Friday. It's a private member's bill. It's a free vote. Unpredictable, of course, as ever. But this weekend, following an emotional and poignant intervention by Gordon Brown earlier today, talking about the death of his baby daughter, Jennifer, back in January 2002, and talking about how that has persuaded him that the assisted dying bill is the wrong way forward. It's the opponents of this bill who are really ramping up the pressure this weekend. While responding to Shabbat and Mahmoud's pretty damning verdict on her bill, Kim Ledbeter has told Sky News, Good friends don't always agree. Well, a few friends of Kim Ledby that seem to be turning against her. Critics will say the Prime Minister's dithering in indecision on this is making matters worse. The cabinet is split, and all the signs are that we're in for a pretty emotional debate in the comments here on Friday. At the moment, as I say, it's the opponents who are stepping up the pressure, even though there are said to be many Labor MPs and some Conservatives who support the bill.

But at the moment, Labour's big hitters are turning against the private member's bill being debated here on Friday.

John Craig with the latest in Westminster. John, thank you. And Kim Ledbeater, whose private member's bill it is, will be one of the guests on Sunday morning with Trevor Phillips. That's at half past 8 tomorrow morning. There have been signs in the past hour that a deal at the COP 29 Climate Summit in Azerbaijan is imminent. Earlier today, though, negotiators from developing nations stage the walkout, arguing their countries are on the front line of climate change, and they aren't getting a fair deal from developed nations. In a moment, we'll get the very latest live from Azerbaijan. But first, our science and Technology Editor, Tom Clarke, has this report. No deal. It's better than a bad deal.

There was anger in the corridors as these talks ran into extra time. Baku was where rich polluting countries were required to honor previous commitments to pay up. In the eyes of others, they shut down talks by waiting to table a week offer, leaving no no time to negotiate. We've just walked out. We came here to this cup for a fair deal. We feel that we haven't been heard, and there's a deal to be made, and we have not been consulted. It's been agreed in Baku that $1.3 trillion in climate finance must flow from rich countries to poorer ones by 2035, but only a few hundred billion is on the table, and little of it in hard cash.

It is more than a joke.

It is deeply insulting.

It is unacceptable.

And we'd rather fight for another year than accept a really bad deal.

It's not all bad news. After 10 years of tedious negotiation, a deal allowing the global trading of pollution credits, which could drive low carbon investment in developing countries, was finally approved. This is so decided. Thank you. But these talks were really about money, and most rich countries seem to have left their wallets behind. Many, like the UK, have tight enough budgets at home. Others, like the US, are unwilling to stamp up more money for what could be seen as climate reparations. The offer on the table from donor countries is high, so hopefully we can pull something together. Some rich countries like the EU and UK are lobbying less generous donors to do more. Others, like Saudi Arabia, are working harder than ever to undermine any progress at all. Time is not on our side. I ask you to now step up your engagement with one another to breach the remaining divide. It will take a lot to save COP 29 from failure. Tom Clarke, Sky News.

Our climate The reporter Victoria Seabrook, joins us now live from the summit in Azerbaijan. Victoria, despite all the problems and pessimisms that we were hearing about in Tom's report, it does seem that a deal is imminent.

Yes, it's so We're so close that we can almost touch it now, it feels. We just got a copy of what we think will be the final deal. We won't really know until that moment when the Azerbaijan presidency, the team leading it, they strike the gavel with a dramatic flourish that's customary here for when they've all finally agreed. The way these talks work is they operate on consensus. That means that every single of the almost 200 countries gathered here has to agree to something. That is why it can be so difficult. It looks like they are just about to agree to this new funding goal to channel $300 billion a year by 2035 from developed countries that typically have done more to cause climate change to developing countries. Why should they do that? Because developing countries are disproportionately bearing the impact, reeling from the costs of more intense, worse drought, flooding, and wildfires. It's been a roller coaster of a day here, believe it or not, for a conference. I know it looks very quiet behind me. That's because everyone, just through those white doors in the background, everyone is gathered there from the more than 200 countries, desperate for that final moment.

It's quarter past two here now. I think what's interesting about the last couple of weeks is it's really pitted the anger and frustration of developed countries who are having to live with these costs every day against the incredibly tight public finances of the developed world. But if they get that deal that feels imminent, it is also a sign that cooperation is possible among countries amid an incredibly fractured and divided world. There was a lot of talk coming into this summit of the long shadow that the election of Donald Trump in the US has cast over the talks. Certainly, that is going to make these kinds of things harder. But it feels right now, at 2:15 in the morning, that against all the and odds, countries may just have come together to agree something.

Victoria, thank you. It may be a long night for you. We will come back to you if and when a deal is done. I know you'll be monitoring developments for us. Thank you. A British teenager who faces prison in Dubai after allegedly having sex with a 17-year-old British girl has been told he will appear in court for the first time next month. 18-year-old Marcus Fokana, who met the girl while on holiday in the Emirate, was reported to police by her mother. Tonight, a GoFundMe page set up by his family to help with his legal and accommodation costs, reached its target, as Ashis Joshina reports.

Marcus Fokana's dream holiday to Dubai has turned into his worst nightmare. He faces up to 20 years in jail after being arrested and accused of having sex with another British tourist.

The two met here in the Emirate state.

Marcus is 18. The girl was 17 at the time.

Any relationship between them in the UK would have been legal, but the age of consent in Dubai is 18.

In a statement, Dubai public prosecution said they acted after being contacted by the girl's mother once they had returned to the UK. Under UAE law, the girl is legally classified as a minor, and in accordance with procedures recognized internationally, her mother, being an illegal guardian, filed the complaints. Craig Ballanty knows what Marcus Fouqqana is going through. He's under arrest in Dubai, facing up to two years in jail after leaving a negative Google review about a former employer. Arrived at Abu Dhabi. I was instantly arrested, detained until about one o'clock the next morning. So no contact Back to family or friends until about eight o'clock that evening. Still waiting for a court case. And when you say jail, how long are you talking about?

It could be one to two years. We really don't know. It does depend on the judge.

That's terrifying.

It is.

Dubai is one of the world's top tourist destinations, but travelers are being warned to be aware of the state's laws before they visit. Dubai is a very popular destination.

It presents as a fun party zone.

That glossy sheen, it doesn't always tell the full picture of exactly what is going on behind those seats.

It is a Muslim nation.

We have to remember that. It has different customs. It has different rules.

At its heart, it's quite a conservative country, and I think it's very easy to forget that.

Campaigners raising funds for Marcus have, on Saturday evening, passed their GoFundMe target. His next court appearance has been scheduled for the ninth of December. Archish Joshy, Sky News.

Thousands of people have marched through Paris during a day of protests across France over violence against women. The case of Gisèle Pelicot, who was drugged by her husband for a decade and allegedly raped by dozens of men, has sparked a national conversation about sexual violence. Our Europe correspondence, Siobhán Robbins, reports now from the French capital. They gathered in their thousands, French protesters with a message. Violence and sexual violence against women must stop.

It's a sexist and misogynistic country. We don't have equal rights in every way as women. We don't feel safe, and we still have a big progress to do. I wish I could talk to my younger self and tell her that you have to act, you have to speak, and you have to denounce. And now I'm here, and I want to be loud and to be heard.

In Paris, this woman's banner reads, None of my rapists were convicted. Many here have been inspired to speak out, following several high-profile trials, in particular, that of Giselle Pelicot, whose face now adorns many signs. She's the victim at the center of a mass rape trial who chose to waive her right to anonymity to force France to talk about consent and sexual violence.

For this movement, for women's rights, what does she mean, do you think? I think she means that sexual violence should be spoken of and should be brought, and we should speak about it, and we should speak about the male aggressors. This is one of several demonstrations taking place across the country, and people here say patriarchal France has lagged behind for too long. For example, it's only in recent years that marital rape became recognized as a crime.

As France's #MeToo movement surges, the crowd are demanding action, challenging what they say is a macho society that needs to change.

Siobhán Robbins, Sky News, Paris.

A man's been arrested on suspicion of murder after one man died and another was critically injured in a shooting in Birmingham. Police were called to Rotten Park Road in Edgebaston just before 11 o'clock last night. A man in his 20s was found dead in a car, while another man in his 30s was found injured at a bus stop. He was taken to hospital where he remains in a critical condition. Albanese authorities say at least 20 people have been killed and more than 60 injured in Israeli strikes on Central Beirut. Lebanon's Health Ministry says the number of people killed could rise as emergency workers search the rubble. Meanwhile, in Gaza, Hamas says a female Israeli hostage has been killed in the north of the territory. The militant group claims the woman died in an area targeted by Israeli bombardment, while another female hostage was left in critical condition. The Sport Now, and he only He retired from the court in August, but just three months later, it seems he just can't stay away. So Andy Murray announced his next move today, and it was a surprising one. The former World number One is to coach the man who held that title both before and after him, his great rival, Novak Djokovitch.

Murray will do the job at least until next January's Australian Open, as Emma Birchley now reports. With one last wave to the crowd, Andy Murray exited Wimbledon's center court after his last match on British soil. It wasn't clear what the future would hold, apart from more golf and some quality time with the family. Four months on, it's all been revealed, with the first hint coming at 4:00 PM. He never liked retirement anyway, quipped tennis superstar Novak Djokovitch on social media before revealing all in this message.

I thought our story may be over.

It turns out it has one final chapter.

It's time for one of my toughest opponents to step into my corner.

Welcome on board, Coach Andy Murray. The news was confirmed by Murray. I'm really excited for it and looking forward to spending time on the same side of the net as Novak for a change, helping him to achieve his goals, he said in a statement. It certainly came as a shock.

I'm just so intrigued. I honestly think it's one of the most interesting tennis coaching relationships in the sports history. I mean, it's so unusual to have such a recently retired player linking up with someone who was their biggest rival as a player. It's amazing.

The plan is to prepare the 24-time Grand Slam champion for January's Australian Open. The Scot and the Serb have plenty of history. Born a week apart, the rivalry began as boys. What followed were 36 professional clashes, Novak winning most. But it was Andy who would lift the Wimbledon Trophy in 2013 with a straight set's win. Along with Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal, Murray and Djokovitch would complete the so-called Big Four. Novak is the only one still playing.

Djokovitch is obviously one of the greatest tennis players of all time, and he's coming to the end of his career.

But this decision, I think, suggests how much ambition he still has.

Now, with his one time foe on side, Novak will be hoping to smash his way into the record books with the most grand slam wins of all time. Emma Birchley, Sky News. Let's get the rest of today's sport now from Mark at Sky Sports News.

Two England internationals. One, in theory, delicious recipe. One fierce cooking challenge to mark the ECB's Taste of Cricket campaign. What could possibly go wrong? Here in the kitchen, Jamie and Izzy making, Izzy. Banana pancakes. Which apparently is your recipe, which seems unfair on Jamie. Only if it's good. Given that this is your recipe, I want some tips for him before we start.

There isn't really any measurements. Good start. This is encouraging.

Go on feel. So banana pancakes on the menu, and Izzy taking a loose approach to both methods and measurements.

It's like they say vanilla is like the garlic of baking.

Vanilla extract is to baking, what garlic is to cooking.

If it says three, put in six.

When you say they, who is they? Just people. People. Yeah. Coking people. At all levels, cricket and cuisine are intrinsically linked. For the pros, it's all about being well-fueled for a long day in the fields.

We literally six, seven, eight hours of cricket in a day.

Need your carbs, need your good nutrition.

Otherwise, at the end of the day, you've got to use the food to perform as best as you can.

Away from the top table, though, the English cricket tea forms the staple diet of summer Saturdays up and down the country. The ECB celebrated all sorts of communities and cookery this year and rewarded those clubs that have excelled in terms of inclusion with the social element always right at the heart of things.

Tee is like you play a hard game cricket, and it's just about coming together at tea, socializing with your mates, socializing with the opposition, and having a bite to eat, having some probably not so healthy things on a Saturday compared to England.

But yeah, it's great.

What's your favorite tea item that you've ever had? Any club. Any club? I don't know. What's yours? I've played at Warfield in Shropshire.

They have the best homemade rocky roads you have ever had.

They have a white chocolate one that has a little bit of rasbour in it, I think, and a normal one.

Some classic flavor combinations there, but here a slightly more experimental feel. Just to confirm, this is going to include peanut butter, chocolate, and chili.

Mcvitty is going to trademark this.

I'm not going to lie, I'm a little bit concerned about this. Whilst Jamie brings the heat with his chillies, it's almost time to get cooking, and the temperature may rise for the men's disability team with a World Cup in India in the coming months. It's a country country that's embraced the women's game in recent years, and both global and franchise tournaments have succeeded in bringing cultures together.

It's not very often you get to go and experience other cultures, other foods, and cricket's a great thing for that.

It's a game for everybody, and so is food at the end of the day.

A little bit of movement there, Jamie. That looks encouraging. Still raw. For the moment of truth, it feels fitting to find a guest judge who's experienced a range of cultures across his cricketing career. Born in Barbados, blossoming in Birmingham, England's newest white ball star, Jacob Bethel. Right, Jacob. Hope you're hungry. Lunch is served.

Wow.

Here we go.

Izzy and Jamie have been slaving away for hours on this. Hello. Peanut butter, dark chocolate, and chili, not a combination I've ever seen before, Jacob, but...

Oh, no. Oh, God. Oh, no. These are tough to get down.

That's one of the best food reviews I've ever heard. These are tough to get down. You got glue in this.

Manatory evacuation, you must leave.

For many people, Harvey is far from over. People here believe the water will be this deep for weeks. I've reported from around the world and around the UK. It isn't what politicians see from election battle busses, but what ordinary people see from the busses that shape the the same table of their lives. I feel like there's no trust between the people and the politicians.

Labor is going to get in debt, aren't it? And they're no better than the Conservatives.

It is almost impossible to predict where these fires will go next. Ida has certainly left its mark on New Orleans.

It just feels heartbreaking.

Cartels in Mexico are flooding America with the drug. We are standing on the supply line right into the heart of America's opioid crisis. This gives you an idea of the strength of those winds, strong enough to bend and twist metal. Sky News, the full story first. Christ Church has been changed forever by what happened here.

Will you respond to those who made accusations, Sir Philip? Can you go away?

A very good morning to you all.

Do you regret the tweet, Gary? There's no sign, publicly at least, of to the side, being willing to give ground. Brianna's dad told Sky News what he thinks of them. If I'm honest, I hate them.

A first look at what's on the front pages as they arrive. But first, our top stories. Storm Bert has hit the UK and Ireland, bringing freezing temperatures and winds of up to 82 miles per hour. The Justice Secretary, Shabana Mahmoud has said she is profoundly concerned about the assisted dying bill, which is due to be voted on next week and called the Plans: A State Death Service. The prospects of a deal at the COP Climate Summit in Azerbaijan have improved despite an earlier walkout by developing nations. Hello there. You're watching the press preview, a first look at what's on the front pages as they arrive. In the next half hour, we'll see what's making the headlines with Theo Usherwood, political journalist, and Nancy Fielder, Editor-in-Chief of Nationalworld. Com. Welcome both. Let's see what is on some of those front pages now. Well, the Observer reports on the Justice Secretary rejecting an assisted dying bill up for a vote next week, calling it a slippery slope towards death on demand.

The Sunday Times says polls indicate two-thirds of the country's supports assisted dying. The Sunday Telegraph reports on cabinet minister, Pat McFadden, warning that Russia is prepared to hit Britain with a massive cyber attack. The former Security Minister, Tom Tuganhat, is telling Sunday Express readers that Britain must stand strong against threats made by Vladimir Putin. The Mail on Sunday says the Prime Minister has pledged sweeping changes to manage welfare costs, targeting cheats and system exploiters. The Sunday Mirror says a chief constable is being investigated over claims that she covered up failings linked to the Nottingham stabbings. The Star says, Gaming and fantasy role-playing are now more popular among British youngsters than football. The reminder that by scanning the QR code you'll see on screen during the program, you can check out the front pages of tomorrow's papers while you watch us. We are joined tonight by Theo Asherwood, political journalist, and Nancy Fielder, Editor-in-Chief of Nationalworld. Com. Okay, let's start by looking We have a story in The Observer, and it's one that I mentioned there as well. So front page of The Observer. A Sister Dying leads to State Death Service Warns. Minister, and this is the warning from Justice Secretary Shabbatna Mahmoud.

She She is profoundly concerned about the vote that, of course, happens on Friday. Theo, over the past few days, we've had quite a few comments. We had Gordon Brown just yesterday over this bill, which is proving quite divisive.

It is. I think what's interesting about this is the justification legislation, firstly, that's been used by the Justice Secretary, Shubhana Mahmoud, because, of course, there is an expectation that ministers shouldn't be stating anything other than what they can say has been a previously held opinion when it comes to assisted dying West Street, and the Health Secretary found himself in hot water when he said that there would be cost implications for the NHS. But the justification from the Justice Secretary's point of view is that actually she's received a number of emails and correspondence from her constituency in Birmingham, Ladywood, which has a large Muslim population, expressing concern about the legislation. That's why she has decided to reply to that, expressing her own worries about the legislation. I think it is actually the right thing that actually ministers should be able to set their positions. I think she uses emotive language in her reply. She said, Sadly, recent scandals such as Hillsborough, the Infected Blood, and the Post Office Horizon have reminded us that the state and those acting on its behalf are not always benign. I have always held the view that for this reason, the state should serve a clear role.

It should protect and preserve life, not take it away. Clearly coming down against the assisted dying. Of course, the vote is going to be on Friday, and it's a free vote in the House of Commons. Nancy.

It's a very divisive topic. It always will be whatever happens with this vote. But I think that is the important thing about it. Actually, politicians have been given the choice and have the vote. There are thousands of people in this country right now who are watching their loved ones dying in the most agonizing, awful way, and it doesn't necessarily have to be like that. To not allow them to make their own personal choice on the topic that is perhaps the most personal, important of all just seems a little bit hypocritical to me. I absolutely agree that our services looking after dying people are shockingly bad. Sheffield St. Luke Hospice is incredible. I've been there and lost loved ones myself, but they only get 25% of their funding from government. The rest is raised by volunteers. Absolutely, let's make people end as good as we possibly can. But let's also not take away their choice by saying, We don't believe in it. It should be down to people's individual beliefs.

There's different angles on story on the various front pages. If we look at the Sunday Telegraph, again, they're one of the leaders, Faith leaders unite to oppose assisted dying. Theo, obviously, religion becomes part of the conversation. When you listen to a lot of the people who oppose it, Some do it on ideological grounds. They just don't agree with the principle they believe in the sanctity of life. Others just don't think that this bill is the right way to go about it.

Yes, and I think the argument that these 29 faith leaders are making is that actually, when you look When you look at the problems around palliative care, when you look around the problems around care for the elderly, this legislation is crossing a rubricon, and it is leaving elderly people very vulnerable. They make the point that there are 2.7 million older people who've been subject to abuse. Many will also be vulnerable to pressure to end their lives prematurely. They also make the point, and I've heard Tani gray Thompson, the disability campaigner, make this point as well, that those who are suffering from, or not, it's the wrong phrase, apologies, those who have disabilities and, of course, are under pressure when you look at what's going to be happening to welfare, and we'll be discussing that in a few moments, but it potentially cuts to more stringent checks on welfare, that actually many people who are trying to make the best of their lives are going to be under intense pressure, incredible pressure, maybe from loved ones, or just because their lives are so hard to to look towards ending their own life.

Obviously, a device of a very… I think I don't want to imply that MPs aren't usually thoughtful, but you really get the impression by listening to a lot of the interviews that MPs are giving on this, that it's the have all been very thoughtful about this. Let's look at the Sunday Times because that's what they think in Parliament. But two-thirds of the country, apparently, back assisted dying. Nancy, tell us a little bit more about this.

What's really interesting is if you've cared for your parents as in their final days, then you're more likely to believe that they should have had the right to die. I think that really says it all. It's all based on our own personal experience, and it's all based on our own beliefs. I'm just wondering, where are all these religious leaders and campaigners for change when the system was crumbling around us? Because the system is so bad now, and social care is awful at all levels. It's no good saying, We stop this because this is really bad. Let's make that better, but let's also give people the choice. Everybody I speak to has got a strong opinion about it, and it is, I don't think you're ever going to get to 100% or anywhere near an agreement on this. But again, that comes back to the point, surely it's got to be in an individual's own hands, but we have got to stop the bullying. We've got to protect people who don't want it. Hopefully, the law is going to be strong enough. They need to make sure it is.

Theo, Nancy, just stay with us a second because we do have some breaking news coming in from Azerbaijan, and that is that COP 29, the Climate Change Summit, has approved a deal on the climate finance target. I think we can listen to the moment when the deal was approved.

I invite parties to turn to agenda subitems 11A, new collective quantified goal on climate finance.

I hereby invite the CMA to adopt the draft decision contained in document CMA/2024L.22.Scenes there.

Latest pictures coming in from Azerbaijan, Baku, where a deal has been approved on climate finance at Target, COP 29. Now, this is about how much money developed nations should give developing nations for them to and adapt to climate change. There had been various numbers. The poorer countries wanted $1.3 trillion a year. The original figure proposed had been only $100 billion a year, but they have now come to a compromise. Of course, there was, at any rate, enormous pressure to come to some deal as this summit happens under the shadow, in a sense, of an imminent Donald Trump presidency. Now, we are hoping to speak to our climate reporter, Victoria Seabrook, who is going to be live for us at the summit in Azerbaijan. Until we get her, let's go to Theo and Nancy. Theo, these summits are easy to criticize, but they have come to some agreement. We're going to get the details from Victoria. But like I said, a lot of pressure on this particular one because literally days before they all headed to Azerbaijan, Donald Trump was elected.

Yes, and You'd question, given the fact that the President of China wasn't there, the President of India, wasn't Prime Minister of India wasn't there, Kier Starmer, when he attended for a very short amount of time, cut quite an isolated figure at this summit. Obviously, There's been some agreement. It'd be very interesting to hear what your correspondence has to say about the significance of this. But actually, in terms of the global leadership, this summit was severely lacking given that we didn't have from the countries in the world which pollute the most. We didn't have the leadership of those countries at this summit, not least, of course, Donald Trump is the incoming President of the United States, and he has expressed significant skepticism about net zero targets.

Absolutely. We are hearing that the number agreed is around $300 billion. I think we can also cross live now to Azerbaijan and speak to Victoria Seabrook, who is live there for us. Victoria, tell us the details of this deal.

Well, COP 29 has just been brought back from the brink of collapse where it was earlier. They have finally just signed off on this elusive, most elusive of deals, a climate funding target to pay for climate measures in developing countries. They've agreed to channel $300 billion a year by 2035. That's from rich countries to vulnerable nations that are, research has shown, disproportionately bearing the impacts of climate change, reeling from the costs of worsening flood and drought. It will also help them to ditch fossil fuels to curb climate change. Everybody here is signed up to that because they know that that stands to benefit every country, whether you are paying towards the fund or on the receiving end. It's been incredibly hard. One, as I said, things looked like they could almost fall apart this afternoon when developing countries walked out of one of the negotiating rooms. Extremely dramatic. We're already a day into overtime here. They were then coaxed back to the table. Just after half past 2:00 on Sunday morning, local time, they finally brought down the gavel, which is how they sign off these things here with a dramatic flourish. These two weeks, this is It's a culmination of two weeks of incredibly tense negotiations.

It's been very hard one. There's been a raft of deals on the table. What it's really exposed is this divide between developing countries who are reeling from the costs versus the tight public finance of rich countries that have done more to cause climate change. At the start of this talk, there was a lot of talk about how difficult it was going to be, Donald Trump's in the US, casting a long shadow over it. A lot of talk about how difficult that was going to be. He's expected to withdraw the US from these kinds of efforts. Also in the first week, we saw Argentina walk away from the talks after just three days as their president sought to align himself with Donald Trump. People here, they are relieved, elated, emotional, that despite all of those odds, they've reached a deal in a show of cooperation in what is in the outside world an incredibly fractured and divided place.

Victoria Seabrooke with the latest on that deal that has just been agreed at COP 29. Victoria, for the moment, thank you. Coming up, we'll go back to the press preview and tell you how drinking trends are changing across the UK. Stay with us.

This is what they're up against, that the wind is the really big problem. It is back-breaking work and the smoke is thick. It's been working well. Water levels are dropping, but no one knows what impact further rain will have. What would you do if this place wasn't open?

There's always more to the news than a headline.

We want to discover, to delve a little deeper, to find out what's really going on. Explanation, analysis, the people at the heart of every story. I'm Neil Patterson, and this is the Skynews Daily podcast.

So by the end, we'll hopefully all understand what's going on in the world just that little better.

From the front page and the sounds of the streets to the voices of the people who make the major calls and big picture politics beyond Westminster. We'll put you at the heart of our story, and you start to Sunday. I'm ready. Are you? Join me, Trevor Phillips, Sunday Mornings on Sky News.

Welcome back. You're watching the press preview with me in the studio, Theo Usherwood and Nancy Fielder. Okay, let's go straight to the Sunday Telegraph and the headline there, Putin ready to Cripple Britain in Cyberstrike, from page of the Sunday Telegraph. Obviously, we've seen things escalate in Ukraine, and People have long suspected that one of the ways that Russia may retaliate, necessarily be on the battlefield, but also through cyber strikes. Here's a warning from a minister. What are the details, Theo?

This is Patman Faden, who is Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, also has the lead for our national security. He's going to be giving a speech on Monday to NATO's cyber defense conference in London, and the Sunday Telegraph has what appears to be the exclusive on the contents of that speech. It's that That as a result of Britain supporting Ukraine, and we saw, of course, the use of long-range stormshadow missiles into Russian territory this week, Putin is going to retaliate with cyber attacks on our telecoms. On our media, and on our national grid, potentially as well. It's a significant speech, I would say, by Pat McFaddon, and it's interesting, actually, that Tom Tuganhart, the Shadow Security, who was Security Minister in the last government, has We've been in an interview to the Sunday Express in which he's urging the government to stand firm and not to be threatened by Putin's rhetoric. Of course, we saw Putin as a response, launched that Intercontinental Ballistic missile into Ukraine and threatening to take it even further, possibly even striking targets in Poland. I think Tom Thugunher is saying, actually, we need to continue with our current course.

That front page of the Sunday Express, Theo, you were just mentioning there. Nancy, how do you see this?

There are two very different takes on it. One is saying, let's not believe the nuclear threat. It's a bluff. But actually, it seems incredibly realistic that they will go for our systems which are everything's online, isn't it? We've already had instances where Russian hackers have targeted hospitals, our schools, our power, absolutely everything is open, isn't it? I think the telegraph line that we could be completely crippled by a strike should Putin order it. It seems very realistic, sadly. It's a war on two fronts, isn't it? Very different ones, but huge impact. Not the nuclear impact, but the hackers can have massive.

Absolutely. Let's end the press preview with a slightly lighter note. The Sunday Times front page. Afternoons, now the big night out. So people don't go out, apparently between 9:00 and 10:00 PM in the evening on Saturday. I guess they're either at work like us or at home watching TV. They go out between 3:00 and 4:00 in the afternoon. What's the story, Nancy?

So everyone's now at home by the sounds of it. When the hangover has already kicked in, we start with a bottomless brunch, and then we drink our cocktails. And the key time is around three o'clock. That's when you'll struggle to get a drink at the bar. It used to be 8:00 or 9:00. There's also a push. There's been lots of stories about the younger generations who want non-alcoholic drinks. I thought I was just getting older and wanted to get home to bed, but it seems like it's a trend, and it's all of us.

You're not alone, Nancy. You're not alone. Theo, where does this story actually come from?

So it's come from the Slug & Lettis, the owner of Stonegate, who they're in a 4,000 bar, including Slug & Lettis by the owner of Stonegates, who they're 4,000 bars, including Slug and Lettuce in particular. And they've just noticed a trend in drinkers, especially on a Saturday, starting at three or four with food. And then just by the time it gets to eight or nine, just time is good. But it reminds me a little bit, perhaps, of journalist culture back in the day where actually you had a lunch that was boozy, went on, but rounded up about eight, so you could actually do some work the next day.

There you go. Theo and Anastu, we're going to have to leave it there. Thank you both so much. And now, very quickly, let's take a look at the weather. Storm Bert will continue to battle Britain and Ireland on Sunday, bringing very strong winds to most places and some heavy downpours as well. Dawn on Sunday will be mild, but still very blustry. Some particularly strong winds will affect the south, where there will be severe gales along the south Coast at times. This will be accompanied by some heavy rain for parts of England and Wales. Further north, it will be brighter, but with some showers at times. During the morning, the wet and windy weather will continue to plague parts of England and Wales, lying from Southwest England into Lincolnshire. The southwesterly winds will continue to feed mild air across, and temperatures could touch 17 degrees at times. Now, to the north, showers will continue to rattle in on some very brisk winds. Those winds are expected to strengthen during the afternoon, touching even storm force at times. On Monday, it will be a A bright blustery day for most with sunshine and showers. Coming up next on Sky News at 11:00, a man is killed by a falling tree as storm birth batters the UK.
