| Communities to benefit from energy fund |
Communities across the country will benefit from money to spend on cutting carbon emissions and saving on energy bills. The first communities to receive money from Labour’s “Low Carbon Communities Challenge” have been announced. Communities in Norfolk, Isle of Wight, London, Nottinghamshire, Pembrokeshire, Cheshire, Northumberland, Yorkshire, Oxfordshire and Devon will share part of the £10m fund. The areas will spend their portion on projects such as solar panels and wind turbines, insulating homes, low carbon heating systems and electric car charging points. The fund will not only cut carbon emissions and save money on energy bills, but also create income for the communities through Labour’s clean energy cashback scheme. Another ten communities will benefit in the next phase of the challenge. Labour's Energy Minister Joan Ruddock said: “We’ve had more than 300 communities register their interest with the Low Carbon Communities Challenge, so there’s a real appetite out there to save energy to help tackle global warming and save money on fuel bills. The ten winning projects will now spend the money on things like community wind turbines, solar panels, heat pumps, insulation or green transport projects to cut emissions.”...

| Gordon Brown in Copenhagen |
Labour's Prime Minister, Gordon Brown has spoken about his initial talks with world leaders in Copenhagen and his intention to bring people together to get a deal. Attending the climate change summit in Copenhagen, Gordon Brown said that he hoped there would be an agreement by the end of the week - with a legally binding treaty following in subsequent months. On the financial aspects of the deal, the Prime minister outlined the need to help developing countries. Britain has pledged £1.5 billion over the next three years to fund anti-global warming initiatives. Gordon Brown said: "This deal matters for Britain. I think if we could get a carbon change, then it is worth about half a million jobs to Britain in the longer run, so it is worth it for jobs. "But I also think our children, growing up, going to school every day, I don’t want them to live in a world of floods, of droughts, of extreme weather. "It is really important, therefore, for Britain that we get this deal and it is important that I do everything I can in the next few days to make that possible."...
