| |  | Iain McDowell 30 November 2023 | | | Good morning. We begin with a man who has shaped history like few others - Henry Kissinger has died, aged 100. We investigate allegations of abuse against women by Premier League footballers and look ahead to the world's biggest climate summit, COP 28.

America's top diplomat in the Nixon and Ford administrations, he won the Nobel Peace Prize but was also criticised as a war criminal. Whichever way you look at it, his was an extraordinary life, one the world is reflecting on after his death last night. Aged 15, he and his family fled Nazi Germany for New York. Thirty years later he was in the White House as the go-to man on foreign policy. He thawed relations with the Soviet Union and China, played a key role in the Vietnam War and helped bring about a ceasefire after the 1973 Arab-Israeli war but was later pursued by courts investigating human rights abuses. He was unapologetic about his approach: "A country that demands moral perfection in its foreign policy," he once declared, "will achieve neither perfection nor security." | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

| | Premier League teams playing footballers facing abuse claims As the most popular football league in the world, the Premier League holds huge power and influence and so too do its players. But some women say that's created a culture of fear when they've tried to report allegations of abuse by those at the top of the sport. The BBC has found that clubs have continued to play two footballers and kept a boss in post while knowing they're under police investigation for sexual or domestic violence. Football authorities say they take the allegations seriously but women tell us that clubs prioritise commercial interests over their safety. | | | | | |
| Can a climate summit in an oil state actually inspire change? COP28, the planet's most important climate conference, begins today, hosted by the United Arab Emirates, one of the top 10 oil producers in the world. Doubts already exist about how effective it'll be after the BBC discovered the UAE planned to use talks ahead of the meeting to do oil and gas deals.

|  Image: Getty Images Have supermarket discount stickers hit their sell-by date? We all love a yellow discount sticker but the days of hunting them out in your local supermarket may soon be a thing of the past. That's because several of the UK's biggest food retailers are considering adopting a new artificial intelligence-controlled pricing system. The new tech involves digital price tags which automatically update when the item's sell-by date approaches, potentially reducing waste by a third. Can't put a price on that. | | | | | |

| 'Pollution killing millions' and Rwanda plan 'at risk' It's a varied newsstand today. With COP28 under way, the Guardian's top story is a study that's found pollution from fossil fuels leads to five million deaths every year. The Telegraph and the Express report on Hamas's claim that its youngest hostage, 10-month-old Kfir Bibas, was killed in an Israeli bombardment of Gaza. The Rwandan government's support for the UK's asylum plan is "at risk of collapse", according to the Times. And a Mirror investigation finds that more than half of A&E units in England are ranked as inadequate or needing improvement. See all the front pages. | | | |
