Nearly 200 nations OK global warming fund

DUBAI: Nearly 200 nations agreed on Thursday (Friday in Manila) to launch a fund to support countries hit by global warming, in a 'historic' moment at the start of UN climate talks in the oil-rich UAE.

The landmark announcement came as the Emirati host of the COP28 talks declared that fossil fuels must be part of any final climate deal negotiated over the next two weeks.
