24.11.2024 โ‡ข The Day Storm Bert Met COP's Money
โŒจThe $300bn COP29 climate finance agreement dominated morning coverage, with immediate criticism from developing nations and climate activists calling it insufficient. As discussions continued, Storm Bert's impact intensified across Britain, with casualties rising from three to five throughout the day.

By midday, 400 areas faced flood risks, leading to a major incident declaration in South Wales. Heathrow cancelled 200 flights, while nine London parks and Winter Wonderland closed. The body of a missing 75-year-old dog walker was recovered, marking the storm's fourth victim.

A parallel crisis emerged with reports of a captured British mercenary in Kursk, shown on Russian state media - a development connecting to previous days' escalation over Storm Shadow missiles. The evening brought news of a fifth storm casualty, while flood alerts remained in force across 250 areas.
