A bitter row at COP30 saw oil-rich nations led by Saudi Arabia overcome more than 80 countries that wanted a deal advancing previous commitments to transition away from oil, coal, and gas.
Also: President Trump says his plan to end the Russia-Ukraine war is "not his final offer" as Kyiv and its allies push back on proposals they see as too favourable to Moscow. Several airlines suspend flights to Venezuela after the US warned of dangers from heightened military activity. Princess Diana's personal designer Paul Costelloe dies aged 80. How new technology, the size of a grain of rice, is tracking the migration of Monarch butterflies across North America. And a watch worn by Titanic passenger Isidor Straus as the ship sank fetches a record price at auction. The Global News Podcast brings you the breaking news you need to hear, as it happens.

Nearly 200 nations agree on a compromise deal on tackling climate change at the COP30 summit in Brazil - but without any commitment to phase out fossil fuels. We speak to Sierra Leone Minister of The Environment and Climate Change Jiwoh Abdulai, who represented the Least Developed Countries group on finance and transition talks.
Also in the programme: All educational institutions in Niger state have been ordered to close following a mass abduction on Friday of more than three hundred children and staff from a Catholic boarding school; and we reflect on the lasting cultural relevance of beloved Pixar film series Toy Story.

Mike joins Matt Lewis for a lively crossover conversation that opens with deep dives into Huey Lewis puns before shifting into the Democrats' "affordability" message, why word wars matter more than policy wins, and how political optics collide with economic reality. They unpack everything from tariffs to AI dislocation to the future of the Democratic bench — and why charisma might matter more than infrastructure. Later, Mike breaks down the exploding sports-betting scandals in baseball and the NBA, how prop bets make cheating easier to spot, and why league integrity hinges on catching every idiot who thinks he can game the system. Plus: a brief remembrance of Parker Lewis, the Ferris-Bueller-for-TV that almost worked. Listen to the full episode here: Matt Lewis Can't Lose - Podcast - Apple Podcasts

For many Americans, contributing to an employer-sponsored plan is the primary way they’re saving for retirement. Unfortunately, not all of these plans are excellent, and you’re stuck with the investment choices and features chosen by your employer.Or are you? Longtime Motley Fool colleagues Robert Brokamp and Buck Hartzell talk about how the Motley Fool’s 401(k) was actually not very good in the early days, how they worked with the company to improve the plan, and how you might be able to get your employer to do the same.
Also in this episode: How to lower your tax bill with charitable contributions, including why you maybe should give more in 2025 due to a provision in the new tax bill. Two worthy organizations to consider: the Fool Community Foundation (FoolFoundation.org), which creates new wealth-building opportunities for Americans living paycheck to paycheck, and Together We Bake (TogetherWeBake.org), which provides workforce development for women with limited resources facing barriers to employment.
