Your wrap of the world stories that broke overnight.
1. An Austrian boy has fished bank notes worth tens of thousands of euros from the River Danube. The notes - about €100,000 - were made up of €500 and €100 notes. Anyone who finds money and hands it to police is entitled to up to 10% of the total but if the owner is not found within a year all of it will go to the boy in Vienna.
2. Beijing has issued its first pollution red alert as smog has enveloped the capital for the second time this month. The alert means that millions of vehicles should be forced off the road today, factories and construction sites shut down and schools advised to close. The smog is expected to last until rain on Thursday.
3. Global emissions of carbon dioxide are likely to stall this year according to a study at the climate talks in Paris. Researchers from the University of East Anglian say it is the first time this has happened while the global economy grows, the BBC reports. The change is due to reduced coal use in China and faster uptake of renewables. But they expect the stall to be temporary as emerging countries develop. Emissions had fallen 0.6% but increased by about the same amount later year. Since 2000 emissions have grown annually by 2-3%
4. British Prime Minister David Cameron has visited flood damage in Carlisle as more than 40 flood warnings remain in place in northern England. Cameron has promised a review of flood defences. A second person has died from storm Desmond.
