Key nations raced Saturday to salvage UN climate talks after the poorest countries pushed back angrily for more than $300 billion a year in help from historic wealthy emitters. More than a day past the scheduled conclusion of two days of COP29 talks, host Azerbaijan urged bleary-eyed delegates to seek consensus to avoid failure. "I know that none of us want to leave Baku without a good outcome," COP president Mukhtar Babayev told a late-night session, urging all nations to "bridge the remaining divide". Developing power Brazil pleaded for at least some progress and said it would seek to build on it when it leads COP30 next year in the Amazon gateway of Belem. "After the difficult experience that we're having here in Baku, we need to reach some outcome that is minimally acceptable in line with the emergency we're facing," Brazil's environment minister Marina Silva told delegates. A number of nations have accused Azerbaijan, an authoritarian oil and gas exporter, of lacking the experience and will to meet the moment, as the planet again sets record temperatures and faces rising deadly disasters. Small island nations threatened by rising seas and impoverished African states on Saturday angrily stormed out of a meeting with Azerbaijan, saying their concerns had been ignored. The European Union, United States and other wealthy countries met directly with poorer nations to work out final details, with both blocs also concerned at efforts led by Saudi Arabia to water down calls from last year's summit to phase out fossil fuels. "If we don't do it, people at home -- in every home across the world -- would say, why did you not get an agreement? Because I believe we can," Irish climate minister Eamon Ryan told AFP. A draft of the final text seen by AFP proposes that rich nations raise to $300 billion a year by 2035 their commitment to poorer countries to fight climate change. It is up from $100 billion now provided by wealthy nations under a commitment set to expire -- and from $250 billion proposed in a draft Friday. That offer was slammed as offensively low by developing countries, which have demanded at least $500 billion to build resilience against climate change and cut emissions. Sierra Leone's climate minister Jiwoh Abdulai, whose country is among the world's poorest, called the draft "effectively a suicide pact for the rest of the world". As staff at the cavernous and windowless stadium began closing down, diplomats rushed to meetings with one another, some ready with food and water in preparation for another late night. Panama's outspoken negotiator, Juan Carlos Monterrey Gomez, voiced anger at offers by rich countries but warned not to repeat the failure of COP15 in Copenhagen in 2009. "I'm sad, I'm tired, I'm disheartened, I'm hungry, I'm sleep-deprived, but there is a tiny ray of optimism within me because this cannot become a new Copenhagen," he told reporters. UK Energy Secretary Ed Miliband said the revised offer of $300 billion was "a significant scaling up" of the existing pledge by developed nations, which also count the United States, EU and Japan among their ranks. Climate activists shouted "shame" as US climate envoy John Podesta walked the halls. "Hopefully this is the storm before the calm," he said. Wealthy nations say it is politically unrealistic to expect more in direct government funding. Donald Trump, a sceptic of both climate change and foreign assistance, returns to the White House in January and a number of other Western countries have seen right-wing backlashes against the green agenda. The draft deal posits a larger overall target of $1.3 trillion per year to cope with rising temperatures and disasters, but most would come from private sources. Ali Mohamed, the Kenyan chair of the African Group of Negotiators, told AFP: "No deal is better than a bad deal." South African environment minister Dion George, however, said: "I think being ambitious at this point is not going to be very useful." "What we are not up for is going backwards or standing still," he said. "We might as well just have stayed at home then." The US and EU have wanted newly wealthy emerging economies like China -- the world's largest emitter -- to chip in. China, which remains classified as a developing nation under the UN framework, provides climate assistance but wants to keep doing so on its own voluntary terms. The EU and other countries have also tussled with Saudi Arabia over including strong language on moving away from fossil fuels, which negotiators say the oil-producing country has resisted. "We will not allow the most vulnerable, especially the small island states, to be ripped off by the new, few rich fossil fuel emitters," said German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock. bur-np-sct/lth/giv

(AP) — Angel Yin was making putts from across the green and threatening to build a big lead until Jeeno Thitikul finished eagle-birdie for a 9-under 63 to share the lead Saturday going into the final round of the CME Group Tour Championship with $4 million on the line. Yin had a 69 after another day of big putts and one chip-in from some 60 feet for eagle on the par-5 sixth hole that put her comfortably ahead at Tiburon Golf Club. She holed a 30-footer on the eighth hole, another birdie from about 25 feet on the ninth hole and another one from the 30-foot range on the 12th. Thitikul seemed to be an afterthought until she lit it up on the back nine for a 30. The Thai started the back nine with three straight bogeys, but she made up quick ground at the end with her eagle on the reachable par-5 17th and a birdie on the closing hole. The birdie briefly gave her the lead until Yin made birdie on the 17th to join her. They were tied at 15-under 201, three shots head of Ruoning Yin, who birdied her last two for a 66. Charley Hull had seven birdies in her round of 66 and was at 11-under 205, along with Narin An of South Korea. Nelly Korda, who got back into the mix on Friday after a sluggish start, lost ground with a 69 on a pleasant day that left her six shots back going into the final round. Korda has won four of her seven LPGA titles this year coming from behind. This could be a tall order. At stake is the richest payoff in women's golf, $4 million to the winner, nearly as much as Korda has made all year in her seven-victory season. Thitikul already picked up a $1 million bonus this week through the Aon Risk-Reward Challenge, a competition based on how players score on a designated hole each week. Now she could leave Florida with a total of $5 million. “Actually, $1 million is really good enough for me,” Thitikul said. “If I can get more, it’s definitely going to be a nice, because as my team know I spend a lot of money. That’s why I have to keep playing good golf, like spending on shopping day.” Angel Yin heard plenty of cheers for her long birdie putts, and the chip-in for eagle. She also was helped by a couple of pars after bad drives. She went well to the left at No. 10, did well to blast out on a blind shot just short of the green and then got up-and-down with a pitch to 4 feet. And then on the 13th, another tee shot went well to the left. She tried to get it back in play from just in front of some bushes, and from 50 yards hit wedge to about 15 feet. She holed that putt, too, that kept her in front. “I'm scoring still,” Yin said. “Making some mistakes, but saving a bunch, so a lot of positives.” AP golf: https://apnews.com/hub/golfThe NSE Nifty 50 finds immediate support near 24,550, with key resistance positioned at the 25,000–25,200 levels. Analysts highlight further resistance in the 25,200–25,400 zone while maintaining a positive outlook as long as the index stays above 24,300. "Technically, the support base now shifts upward towards 24,500 on an intermediate basis, which is likely to cushion any intra-week blips, followed by a sacrosanct support zone placed from the 24,350–24,250 zone," according to Osho Krishnan, senior analyst of technical and derivatives at Angel One. "On the higher end of the spectrum, 24,800, followed by 25,000–25,100, is likely to be seen as the next potential resistance for the benchmark index in the upcoming week," Krishnan said. Technically, on the daily chart, the index took a pause after a strong rally and formed a small red candle, while on the weekly chart, it formed a strong bullish candle, indicating strength, according to Hrishikesh Yedve, assistant vice president for technical and derivatives research at Asit C Mehta Investment Interrmediates Ltd. Yedve noted that, additionally, the index has witnessed a breakout from an inverted head and shoulders pattern. "As per this breakout, the index could test 25,000–25,200 levels in the medium term. Immediate support is placed near 24,550, followed by 24,300. As long as the Nifty stays above 24,300, traders should adopt a buy-on-dips strategy," he said. "As RBI reduced the CRR by 50 bps to 4% in line with market expectations, this move is expected to enhance liquidity in the financial system, support credit growth, and aid economic recovery. The repo rate was maintained at 6.5%, showcasing a balanced approach to managing inflation while fostering growth," according to Siddhartha Khemka, head of research, wealth management, Motilal Oswal Financial Services Ltd. "Next week, we expect Nifty to maintain its gradual upmove, driven by a potential increase in liquidity post RBI’s CRR cut, positive news flows around government policies, and the return of FII inflows," said Khemka. Bank Nifty settled the day on a marginally negative note at 53,510 levels. "On the higher side, the index could attempt to test levels of 54,000–54,500 in the short term. On the downside, 52,850 will act as immediate support for the index, followed by 52,500," said Yedve. So, he advised traders to adopt a buy-on-dips strategy in Bank Nifty.

The decisive victory of the BJP-led Mahayuti alliance in the Maharashtra assembly elections is expected to speed up the redevelopment of Asia's largest slum Dharavi. The ambitious ₹20,000-crore urban renewal project , covering nearly 600 acres in the heart of Mumbai, was at stake as opposition parties had pledged to scrap or revise it if they won the elections. Assembly Election Results Live Updates Maharashtra Election Results Jharkhand Election Results Bypoll Election Results In November 2022, Adani Properties , the realty development company owned by Gautam Adani-led Adani Group , had emerged as the highest bidder to secure the rights to redevelop the slum. An Adani Group entity holds 80% stake in the Dharavi Redevelopment Project Pvt Ltd (DRPPL), while the Maharashtra government holds the balance 20%. The state holds this 20% stake in the project through DRP/Slum Rehabilitation Authority (SRA), which is a special body formed by the government. "This is a critical project for the government and we are on track to execute the project and deliver home for everyone in Dharavi," a DRP-SRA official told ET.

View Program ET Bureau With the outcome of the state assembly elections, the future of the project combining modern urban planning with social upliftment in Mumbai's heartland appears more secure. The recent indictment of Adani Group chairman Gautam Adani and other group officials in the US could potentially affect the group's fundraising efforts. However, the hardcore underlying asset of land associated with this project may cushion the impact. The election results ensure continuity in governance, reducing the risk of policy reversal or administrative delays that often stall large-scale projects. Opposition parties, including the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA), had earlier expressed reservations about the project owing to land allotment and other issues. The project has seen the allocation of additional land in various parts of Mumbai by the government to support the massive rehabilitation and redevelopment efforts.
