In the third episode of a new series of Anywhere but Westminster, John Harris and John Domokos travel around the West Midlands, and find a fascinating political mixture: hesitant Labour voters, a new crop of independents focused on Palestine and local cuts – and, amid deep social problems, lots of people who think the election hardly matters. Here, it seems, is the reality that all those opinion polls get nowhere near

,1,The climate finance deal agreed at Cop29 global summit is a “travesty of justice” that should not have been adopted, some countries’ negotiators have said.

What if you thought climate change was your fault? ► https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MRLRb3HV-SU
The climate conference came to a dramatic close early on Sunday morning when negotiators struck an agreement to triple the flow of climate finance to poorer countries.
Developing nations had called on rich countries to provide them with $1.3tn (£1.08tn) a year to help them decarbonise their economies and cope with the effects of the climate crisis. But the final deal sets a pledge of just $300bn annually, with $1.3tn only a target.
The number is an increase from a previous $100bn promise, but Chandni Raina, a negotiator for India, said it was “abysmally poor” compared with what was needed.
Watch the video to hear from Damian Carrington, our environment editor, on whether the finance deals are enough.

,1,In 1984, charity supergroup called Band Aid made Do They Know It's Christmas? to raise money for people in Ethiopia during a national crisis. Two more versions were released – including one in 2014 aiming to help victims of the Ebola outbreak.

Afrobeats artist Fuse ODG was invited to take part in that edition, but refused, saying the single did ‘more harm than good’. He added that the organisers did not agree with his request to change some of the lyrics and imagery used in the campaign that are ‘degrading’ to Africans.
Now, with a new 40-year anniversary recording to be released in a few days, the MOBO award-winning artist is continuing to call out the issue – and has had other artists back him.
“I understand that there might be good intentions … but there’s a way to do that without also kicking them while they’re down,” says the British-Ghanaian artist.
Fuse ODG, who has recently launched an app about African history and languages, says the important thing is to lift up voices and tell stories that are often overlooked on the global stage – such as the fact that a cure for Ebola was discovered by a doctor from the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Dr Jean-Jacques Muyembe.
In response to the growing backlash, Bob Geldof, one of the founders of Band Aid, told the Conversation: “This little pop song has kept hundreds of thousands if not millions of people alive. In fact, just today [it] has given hundreds of thousands of pounds to help those running from the mass slaughter in Sudan, and enough cash to feed a further 8,000 children in the same affected areas of Ethiopia as 1984.”
Watch this video to learn more about why Fuse ODG thinks this – and other similar campaigns – is so damaging to Africa in the long term, and what he believes can help tackle negative stereotypes.

,1,In an interview recorded in May 2024, Volodymyr Zelenskyy discusses his strategy for dealing with Donald Trump if he were to win the US election.

Zelenskyy outlines a hypothetical scenario in which the US were to stop providing military support and other aid in the country's defence against the Russian invasion of Ukraine's territory. He suggests that such a decision would not only anger Ukrainians but would also fail to stop Vladimir Putin's aggression in the region and make Trump and the US look weak.

,1,Trump appointed more federal judges in 4 years than any other modern president. Biden is trying to catch up, but there’s a problem: Senator Dianne Feinstein, the crucial vote on judges, is MIA and no one knows when she’s coming back.
Correction: Senator Feinstein was hospitalized two months ago, but has spent most of the time since recuperating at home.

,1,Elise West’s life is filled with kids and grandkids, music, cooking, nature, coffee, dinner parties, gardening, croissants, Scrabble and Mexican Train! Her mantra is “how do I want to spend my moments”, as she finds it keeps her present, calm and enjoying the seconds!
Composing music is her greatest therapy and companion. “Passion”, was originally composed as a ballad after her brother’s suicide in 1991. It has since become her anthem to living life to its fullest and with PASSION! Elise dedicates her heart and life to serving her southern Utah community through inclusivity, places to connect and those underserved.
Elise West’s life is filled with music, two kids, cooking, five grandkids, nature, community, coffee, dinner parties, gardening, chocolate croissants and Mexican Train! A St. George resident for the past 14 years, her dreams came true when she launched the Affogato Coffee Truck and a year later moved into a funky and eclectic warehouse space.

She volunteers her time for Rise Garden Vertical Gardens as part of Switchpoint CRC & encourages every single person to visit, volunteer and purchase their incredible greens!

,1,China’s “artificial sun” set new world record in sustained high temperatures
The Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST), a nuclear fusion reactor research facility ran at 70 million degrees Celsius for as long as 1,056 seconds, or 17 minutes, 36 seconds)
This comes after EAST achieved a previous milestone in May running at a plasma – or hot gas – temperature of 120 million degrees Celsius for 101 seconds
The facility is called “artificial sun”, because it mimics the nuclear fusion reaction that powers the real Sun which uses hydrogen and deuterium gases as fuel
That is considered the “ultimate energy” for a carbon-neutral energy future, having minimal waste products
Located in central China’s Anhui Province, EAST is part of the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) facility a global big science project second only to the International Space Station in size
It is being jointly constructed by China, the EU, India, Japan, South Korea, Russia and the US
Its success is significant to future peaceful utilization of international fusion
China’s new round of experiment, which started in early December, will last until June
