Hello and welcome to NewsAar from the BBC World Service. We're coming to you live from London. I'm James Menendez.

And we're going to head straight away to this year's big UN-organised climate summit, COP29, which was meant to come to an end just over six minutes ago.

That's 6pm local time in Azerbaijan where the meetings being

held. But as so often with these complex and fraught negotiations, things seem to be

overrunning. Let's speak to our environment correspondent Matt McGraw, who's in Baku. Hello, Matt. Is it

going to be a long night ahead for you? I think at least one, James. Yes. We're in overtime at the moment, as you said. We're here because

negotiations have gone on for two weeks. And finally, in the last day or so, we've had a document

released. We've had a new iteration of that document, a text a couple of hours ago, which finally revealed some

numbers, some figures about how much the richer countries of the world were going to give the poorer

countries of the world to help them cope with climate change, the impacts of climate change,

and also to help them to remove their, reduce their carbon. So we've had those numbers. They've not gone down particularly

well amongst everybody here. We've had the African group of nations saying they didn't like them.

They have another bunch of countries have said they're unsure about them. There's lots of talking

certainly to go on about this. I caught up with Marianna Powley from Christian Age, one of the

campaigners here,

and she gave me her reaction to the text.

Absolutely outrageous.

This text is worse than the text we had in Copenhagen

when the first climate financial goal was established.

It is worse because it shifts the burden to developing

countries to find the money for themselves. Well, it puts $250 billion on the table in public and

private sources and includes and opens it up to countries like China to contribute to that as well. What's wrong with that?
