Oh my, so many people, so many sounds have gathered. We're driving, driving, filming. I told you. Oh-oh-oh. Oh-oh-oh. It's just rolling over from that side. That's how they're lowering the dams. This is the first time in recent years that this has happened. The railway bridge is almost completely flooded. And look at the level. A little more and the water will be completely in the whole of Nichanga. Up there on the bridge, they're not letting cars through. Look at the level the water has risen. People are almost chest-deep, trying to cross the bridge.
1:13
We are now in the very epicenter of the flooding on the bridge that connects the west and the south. People are all wearing life jackets. There's a lot of provisions. The military was bringing them, they're not letting them into that area, there's a transit point for children, women are being evacuated by boat [music] they brought a ton of provisions. The dog is frozen, the poor thing. People are watching what's happening in their homes. After all, near their house, cars were literally flooded up to their roofs. They're dumping provisions down there. You know, I'll just drive by. I'm on the main beach in Nechang. It's the central beach. And look what's happening to our beach after all these days of rain. So much trash has washed up, we didn't see so much during the recent typhoon. The sea is really dirty, with really big waves. And this is what our landmark looks like now. Trash everywhere.

COP30 No agreement likely, oil producers treated same as drowning island nations- Could COP31 be done by email instead? VEJA+ Brazil Nov 21 news report w transcript, Heating Planet blog
Arab countries that are dependent on oil exports don't want to talk about reducing use of fossil fuels. On the other side, Island Nations that will disappear with the rise in sea level claim the opposite. From one year to the next, COP can't advance on this agenda that is crucial for humanity. Temps and oceans rise, extreme weather events increase; and every year we are not able to respond to the magnitude of the problem. WATCH & READ- Disagreements between rich and poor countries are stalling negotiations at COP 30, says Diogo Schelp. VEJA+ Nov 21 report:
[For Brazilian journalist Diego Schelp, this COP— classified as "transitional"— should mark the implementation of the Paris Agreement, but is heading towards an even worse outcome: no consensus.]
TRANSCRIPT
There's a lot of discussion about what would be considered progress and what would be considered a very weak agenda, right? From one year to the next, the COPs are annual events, and from one year to the next we can't advance on this agenda that is crucial for humanity, right? We're seeing thermometers rising, oceans rising due to the melting of the poles, extreme weather events happening in various parts of the world, and many problems related to all these climate changes. And what is often repeated here is that we, humanity, are not able to give a response commensurate with the magnitude of the problem, right?
Diogo, we have some mandatory agenda items for the COPs, right? Every time a COP happens, it's decided what the next path will be, what the next step will be. Some of these issues are also at risk here in Belém. How are you seeing all this? Is it possible that we have a COP that could, for example, have been resolved by email?
Yes, Ricardo. And many environmentalists here even say, right, that the problems we are seeing here at this COP suggest that the multilateral discussion model should be modified, right, instead of bringing all the countries together in one place, right, at a huge cost, right, the Brazilian government is approaching R$ 1 billion more in expenses for holding this COP. We saw, you yourself reported, right, that even the energy generated here in the pavilions is by diesel, right? In other words, diesel-powered generators are obviously not sustainable.
And many other problems that we saw, including yesterday's fire. Regarding the technical discussion, the discussion of the topics that are important to contain global warming and to find a path to adapt to these climate changes that are already a reality. What we know, right, which has been said here, including by Ambassador André Correa do Lago, who is the president of the COP, is that this COP is a kind of transitional COP, right? It comes from a process of many years, 10 years, since the Paris Agreement in 2015, which, let's say, closed a cycle that closed at the last COP, last year in Baku, in Azerbaijan.
What does that mean?
Topics that had been agreed upon in the Paris Agreement were being detailed and ultimately confirmed, concluded, right, finalized at the last COP. So this would be the implementation COP, it would be the COP where the countries would sit down to decide how to actually put into practice everything that had been agreed upon before.
So the Brazilian government has been saying that perhaps there won't be a major agreement, right, a major decision pointed out at this COP, precisely because the Paris Agreement cycle had already been closed at the last COP.
3:19
But what is being seen here is that apparently it will be worse than that, isn't it? Because it's not even an indication, right, of how to implement the main points of that were agreed upon until last year, it's not happening, there isn't a solution, right, precisely because we see the opposition there, right, the divergence between two axis, right?
The first axis is between poor countries and rich countries. Poor countries want more money for climate adaptation, and rich countries want the focus to remain on emission reduction, since poor rich countries say that this could harm their economic development. In general terms, there is this clash. On the other hand, there is another axis of divergence,
4:07
Which is the divergence regarding fossil fuels. So, Arab countries and countries that are very dependent on oil exports for their economies don't want to talk about reducing, right, the use of fossil fuels. And on the other side, European countries, Colombia, among others and the islands that will disappear with the rise in sea level claim the opposite.
So, these two axes of divergence make it very difficult to find a consensus on this quota.
ORIGINAL PORTUGUESE
Há uma discussão muito grande em cima daquilo que seria considerado avanço e aquilo que seria considerado uma pauta muito magra, né? Em que a gente de um ano pro outro, as COP são eventos anuais, de um ano pro outro a gente não consegue avançar nessa agenda que ela é crucial para a humanidade, né? A gente tá vendo aí os termômetros escalarem, os oceanos subirem de nível por conta do derretimento dos polos, eventos climáticos extremos acontecendo em diversos lugares do mundo e com muitos problemas relacionados à a todas essas mudanças climáticas. E aquilo que é repisado muitas vezes aqui é que a gente não, a humanidade não tá conseguindo dar uma resposta do tamanho do problema, né? E aí eu quero falar aqui com o Diogo Shelp justamente a respeito deste assunto. Diogo, a gente tem algumas pautas que são mandatórias por parte das COPS, né? Toda vez que acontece uma COP, decide-se que qual será o próximo caminho, qual será o próximo passo. Alguns desses temas também estão em risco aqui em Belém. Como é que você tá vendo tudo isso? É possível que a gente tenha uma COP eh que poderia, por exemplo, ter sido resolvida no e-mail? Pois é, Ricardo. E muitos ambientalistas aqui inclusive dizem, né, que os problemas que a gente está vendo aqui nessa COP e sugerem que o modelo de discussão multilateral deveria ser modificado, né, em vez de e reunir todos os países em um lugar, né, com um custo enorme, né, o governo brasileiro aí vai se aproximando de R$ bilhão deais em gastos para realização dessa COP. A gente viu, você mesmo noticiou, né, que até mesmo a energia aqui gerada nos pavilhões é por diesel, né? Ou seja, geradores eh movidos a diesel não é obviamente sustentável. E muitos outros problemas que a gente viu, inclusive o incêndio de ontem. eh em relação à discussão técnica, à discussão dos dos temas que que são importantes para conter o aquecimento global e para conseguir encontrar uma um caminho para adaptação a essas mudanças climáticas que já são realidade. Eh, o que a gente sabe, né, que vem vem sendo falado aqui inclusive pelo embaixador André Correa do Lago, que é o presidente da COP, é que essa COP é uma uma espécie de COP transitória, né? Ela vem de um processo eh de muitos anos, de anos, desde o acordo de Paris em , eh que digamos assim se fechou, né, um ciclo que se fechou na COP passada, no ano passado em Bacu, no Azerbaijão. O que que isso significa? Temas que haviam sido acordados no acordo de Paris foram sendo eh detalhados e no fim confirmados, encerrados, né, fechados na COP passada. Então essa seria a cópia da implementação, seria a cópia em que os países eh se sentariam para decidir como então colocar de fato em prática tudo aquilo que havia sido concordado antes. Então o governo brasileiro vem dizendo que talvez não haja um grande acordo, né, uma grande decisão eh apontada nesta CP, justamente porque eh o ciclo do acordo de Paris já havia sido fechado na na COP passada. Mas o que tá sendo eh visto aqui é que aparentemente vai ser pior do que isso, não é? Porque sequer eh uma uma indicação, né, de como implementar os pontos principais do que foi acordado até o ano passado não está acontecendo, não está eh tendo uma solução, né, justamente porque a gente vê a oposição aí, né, a divergência entre dois dois eixos, né? Primeiro eixo entre países pobres e países ricos. Os países pobres querem mais dinheiro para adaptação climática e os países ricos querem que o foco ainda seja em redução de emissão, já que os países ric pobres dizem que isso pode prejudicar o desenvolvimento econômico deles. Em linhas gerais, há esse embate. Eh, do outro lado, há outro eh eixo aí de divergência, que é a divergência em relação aos combustíveis fósseis. Então, países árabes e países eh muito dependentes da exportação de petróleo para suas economias, não querem que se fale na na redução, né, do uso de combustí fóvis. E do outro lado, países europeus, a Colômbia, entre outros. E as ilhas que vão sumir aí com a elevação do nível do mar afirmam o contrário. Então, esses dois eixos de divergência t feito com que se torne muito difícil encontrar um consenso ness

TRANSCRIPT:
Hello and welcome to Tomorrow News. I am Dhana Ba. Tropicl cyclone FINA heads for Australia’s northwest coast as a rare and destructive weather system. A rare November cyclone could intensify to a category 3 weather event, bringing new heavy rain and destructive winds gust of up to 155 km per hour to the top end Saturday.
The Bureau of Meteorology said slow moving tropical cyclone Fina had dropped to a category 1, but the dangerous weather system is expected to intensify as it tracks southwest on Friday.
There continue to remain a chance that it could reach achieve category 3 intensity earlier during late Friday or early Saturday as it moves into the WMA Gulf. The weather service bureau said in its latest update. The weather agency urged the thousands of locals living across the Northern Territory to monitor for updates with warnings of voracious winds strong enough to rip off roofs, knock down trees, and cut power.
Heavy rain triggering flash flooding, huge waves and storm surge are also possible. Meteorologist says coastal residents are specifically warned of a dangerous storm tide as the cyclone center crosses the coast during Friday and Saturday. The bureau said tides are likely to rise significantly above the normal high tide with damaging waves and dangerous falls.
Those in Darwin are being warned that they could feel the effects on Saturday. Darwin is now in the cyclone watch area and that's because there is a risk of gales on Saturday probably from later in the morning into the afternoon. Bureau of Metology Community Engagement Manager Jude Scott said on Thursday.

Prior to that it was the seven tropical cyclone Juan that ravaged parts of the northern and western coats in 1975. It caused significant damage particularly in the port area and remained one of the most intense tropical cyclone to have affected Australia. In December 2023, cyclone Chesper crossed the far north Queensland coast. New Wajula Wajula as the category 2 system unleashing destructive winds and torrential rain that caused major flooding cut power to tens of the thousands of homes and triggered landslides that shut key roads. That's all for now.

Fina has re-intensified this evening and will likely try to continue to intensify further overnight if it can find some open waters. For Darwin it's still too close to call whether they will find themselves inside the destructive wind field boundary and the land interaction of Fina overnight will tell the tale. Posted 6PM Friday Darwin time WIQ- Tropical Cyclone Fina and Darwin- Our forecast Nov 21 2025, transcript below[Weather IQ Weather Intelligence for Tropical Australia since 2011]
TRANSCRIPT
Good day folks. Chris Nitsai, weather IQ. Welcome to a weather IQ update this evening. looking at tropical cyclone FINA which has recently been re-upgraded back to a category system. It has been developing nicely. Well, nicely could be a subjective word. Through the day, the system is tracking in a general southwesterly direction.
Now, very curiously tonight and for Darwin residents especially, the biggest curiosity tonight is going to be whether the cyclone interacts with land and starts moving further to the west overnight. So, in a bit more of a west southwesterly motion, or whether the cyclone will interact with the land, but that land interaction won't create any significant deviation.
The worst case scenario for Darwin is if the land mass creates no significant deviation and the cyclone continues tracking southwest. We'll see a direct crossing or a situation where Darwin ends up in the destructive core of the cyclone circulation tomorrow evening. versus a cyclone that deviates a bit more to the west.
Darwin may just escape outside of the destructive core. So all eyes tonight on and overnight tonight into very very early hours of tomorrow how the cyclone will interact with the land mass. Models are divided in what they do here. Some of them bring the cyclone in a more westerly direction sparing Darwin the worst.
Some of them beeline directly over the top of the peninsula and put it over the Cobberg peninsula and put it straight over the top of Darwin.
The gale windfield is much larger, but the stuff that's going to destroy things is much smaller. The gales could knock down a couple of trees, absolutely knock down a couple of fences, absolutely, but they won't create much structural damage.
Destructive winds are, as you can imagine, destructive and not just destructive to flora. So, what we're looking for here is how close does the center of the circulation get to Darwin.
Now, on the current Bureau of Meteorology track, bearing in mind that there is still a massive error margin. You can still see for this time given the fact that the cyclone is literally hours out.
That brings into the possibilities of that slightly more westward shift of the cyclone or the possibility that the cyclone will continue on its merry way directly southwest. So what we've got here is a is a track forecast that sort of marries the two scenarios up a little bit and sort of splits the difference.
Now in this scenario, this is why is so important. In this scenario, Darwin closest point of approach of the cyclone is literally km away. That means the destructive core is on your doorstep but not there yet.
Nightcliffe, which is right on the coast, it's in there in the destructive core. That's the sort of finicky numbers that we're dealing with here. So understand every single jut south of that track or jut north of that track is absolutely crucial.
So every time I'm sure the bureau that are putting this out, they're very very thoughtful and mindful of exactly where the cyclone center goes because of that km radius. km radius of the destructive stuff. I think there's I think it's a foregone conclusion now that even if the cyclone does adopt a more westerly track, Darwin will still find itself at some stage in the gale radius. It's the destructive stuff that we're interested in and concerned about. At this stage, the cyclone appears to be at its closest point of approach to Darwin sometime tomorrow evening, likely between about and p.m. at night. it may even be delayed further if this land interaction slows the cyclone down a bit in the next few hours or in the next to hours. But at this stage, sometime tomorrow evening is when the cyclone will be at its closest point of approach to Darwin. Right. When it comes to rainfall effects, the cyclone won't be producing very heavy rain over Darwin tonight. there will be some gusty thunderstorms and we've seen those contracting towards the coast as we go into the overnight early morning period. We're still not expecting very heavy rain, but the moderate rain will start to increase in intensity as the morning goes on, but the the heavier rainfall aspects will start probably from mid to late afternoon and peak into the early evening into the early to mid evening and then the rainfall will start to settle down early on Sunday. But it is going to be a very wild and woolly evening in this setup where the cyclone is right on that borderline of being right in of of that destructive core. Now the heavy rain is primarily going to be along and in the core of the cyclone and just to the east of the core of the cyclone. So that's why we can see this purple area extending east of the core like you can see on your screen there. Right. Rainfall between now and Monday….
Because of the way it's coming at us, the winds are going to be offshore. So that means we've got to get really close, up close and personal with the cyclone on the way in for it to be producing very strong winds over the city. END OF TRANSCRIPT, VIDEO CONTINUES

¿Sabotaje? Translated: COP 30 summit evacuated due to massive fire- El Heraldo de México report 40 mins ago Heating Planet blog
Moments of tension, the immediate evacuation of delegates, fire, and many unanswered questions are what the fire that broke out this Thursday in November at the UN COP30 climate summit in Belém, Brazil, has left in its wake. While agreements on climate adaptation, fossil fuel reduction, and strategies to curb deforestation were being signed, an intense fire erupted in part of the central pavilion in the so-called Blue Zone, which houses the negotiation rooms and pavilions of countries and international organizations. WATCH ¿Sabotaje? Cumbre climática COP 30 en Brasil, es desalojada por fuerte incendio
The cause of the fire is still unknown, but it is known that the flames reached a considerable height and that it started within the restricted access area. Smoke spread inside and outside the building, causing initial panic.
According to an AFP journalist, the fire tore a hole in the roof and spread to other structures. After the emergency was brought under control, with the affected area isolated and emergency protocols activated, the Brazilian COP Organizing Committee reported that no one was injured. The fire was extinguished by security personnel and AUN staff using fire extinguishers and with the assistance of the fire department.
The unusual incident has raised questions and prompted speculation and accusations of sabotage. This is because the fire broke out while ministers from around the world were engaged in negotiations on topics such as the energy transition and climate finance. Even Brazil's chief negotiator, Mauricio Lirio, stated that he was signing an agreement with a country when the evacuation began, while Brazil's tourism minister, Celso Sabino, told television, "Perhaps a short circuit or a phone charging. In a few minutes we'll know what happened."
But it wasn't just the timing of the fire that drew attention. The venue itself, a poor Amazonian city like Belém, has presented several logistical challenges for the government of Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. Almost the entire COP structure is set up under large tents due to the area's limited resources. Adding to this are the UN's complaints about indigenous protests that strained security measures, as well as the high cost of accommodation for COP participants.

COP30 Blue Zone fire Nov 20- area negotiations taking place rendered unusable- Bio Bio 3.5 min report w/ transcript at Heating Planet blog
A fire broke out in the Blue Zone of COP30 in Belem Brazil Thurs Nov 20, in the area of the event center that was expanded for the event, a floating inflated fabric structure you can see on fire in this video, WATCH & READ Emergency at COP-30: Fire renders part of the venue unusable- Bio Bio Nov 20 report- transcript below[Bio Bio on YouTube from Chile since 2017]
TRANSCRIPT
COP30 is currently underway in Belém, Brazil, and today there was a moment of concern because a fire broke out in the so-called Blue Zone of COP30, which is administered and controlled by the United Nations and where the meeting rooms and various pavilions of the countries and international organizations participating in the event are located.
We're going to speak with Marcelo Mena, former Minister of the Environment, who is there at COP30. How are you, Marcelo? Good afternoon. Hello, how are we? Fine. Um, I imagine you had quite a scare. I wasn't there, but I had already returned, and I was more or less there reporting that I still have a pavilion there that was operational, so we had a team there on standby.
So, what I understand is that there was a fire in what's called the Blue Zone, which is the area where the pavilions are located, where the delegations are, and where the negotiations are taking place. You can only get there with UN credentials, and therefore, that's where the heads of state are, among other things. Right.
And what we understand is that a fire started near the pavilion of one of the countries of, I think, an African country, a few meters from our pavilion, and that meant a total evacuation. So, an email just arrived saying that activities in the area won't resume until [time] because they're also negotiating today. Because the text [text] ends here on Saturday, and therefore they're in the middle of negotiations, and therefore, there will be many people who will be up late tonight and will probably return around [time] when the facility reopens.
Now, the authorities acted quickly, the evacuation protocol itself was followed for everyone there, as we can see on Vivo TV, many people [and] significant fires there in the pavilions. Yes. So, this, to give you a little background, is an event center that was expanded, a much larger center in area, and it has a floating structure, inflated in a way, right?
It's a fabric structure, and that's what you can see is on fire, and therefore that part is exposed. There are definitely rains that occur every afternoon when the temperature starts to drop, and therefore that part will be largely unusable, not only the immediate area but the surrounding area as well. But what some Chileans who were there told me is that the culture that Chile usually has regarding disaster preparedness—where there are meeting points, where there are evacuation routes, where there are evacuation leaders, where there are risk prevention specialists—is not ingrained at this summit.
And I saw that there were many firefighters and civil defense personnel in general, but they felt that there weren't necessarily flame or fire detectors, nor was there immediate enough clarity to evacuate. But the situation was indeed under control today as well.
So, looking at the glass half full in terms of what Chile means, we have a culture much more associated with this type of disaster because of the various things that have happened to us, but that doesn't necessarily extend to everyone. Marcelo Mena, former Minister of the Environment, thank you for answering the radio call, and I hope everything is going well there at COP30. Yes, it's a pleasure. Thank you very much. I hope you're doing well.
