BBC World Service - BBC OS, Talks to save COP28 climate deal

Delegates at the UN climate summit are trying to reach consensus on a final declaration

Delegates at the UN climate summit are trying to reach consensus on a final declaration.

The presidency of the UN climate summit says it will publish a new draft resolution in the coming hours. The first version provoked anger by failing to mention the phasing out of fossil fuels.  A number of oil producers, including Saudi Arabia, Russia and Iraq, are opposing its inclusion. We speak to activists at the summit.

Israel has continued its bombardment of Gaza, with the main focus on Khan Younis in the south. Our correspondent in Jerusalem has the latest. 

President Zelensky of Ukraine is expected to press for more US military aid for the war against Russia, when he meets President Biden today. We speak to our correspondent in Washington, and hear what the mood is in Ukraine. 

The president of one of Turkey's top football teams has been arrested for punching a referee on the pitch, and all Turkish football leagues have been suspended. We hear about the reaction in Turkey. 

E3, once the world's biggest in-person gaming event, has officially closed forever. We hear from gamers. 

Presenter: James Reynolds.
