BBC World Service - BBC OS, Fury at COP28 over draft deal

The draft text does not call for phasing out fossil fuels

The draft text endorses a major reduction in fossil fuel use, but does not call for their phasing out.

European and US delegates at the COP28 climate summit have expressed disappointment at a draft of the final deal, saying it does not go far enough on fossil fuels. We speak to our correspondent at COP28.

We get reaction from Kenya, where a countrywide blackout has sparked sabotage suspcions with people demanding answers and voicing their anger on social media. 

As Western countries debate the defence packages and military aid to Ukraine, we speak to Ukrainians who have fled their homes and live outside Ukraine now. 

We hear about the situation in Gaza, where Israel's intense bombing continues. We also speak to a family member of an Israeli woman believed to be held by Hamas in Gaza. 

Tucker Carlson, the former Fox News talk show host in the US, is launching his own streaming service. We find out what’s expected from the platform.
