COP28 looking for final agreement over fossil fuel energy

BBC World Service - Newsday, COP28 looking for final agreement over fossil fuel energy

Final draft agreement has for the first time called for transition away from fossil fuels

The final draft agreement has for the first time called on countries to transition away from fossil fuels.

Delegates at the UN climate summit in Dubai have broadly welcomed the latest draft of the final agreement, which for the first time calls on countries to transition away from the use of fossil fuels - the conference president, Sultan Al Jaber, will now call a plenary session to adopt the text unanimously, or reject it. 

The United Nations votes overwhelmingly in favour of a resolution calling for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza - we get the latest from Jerusalem with our correspondent there.

And the British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has seen off a Tory rebellion over his flagship Rwanda bill but he still faces a battle to get it through Parliament - we speak to a former MP from the governing party.
