People evacuated after fire breaks out at COP30 venue in Brazil

A fire broke out Thursday at the COP30 climate summit, disrupting negotiations and forcing the evacuation of several buildings at the conference venue.

Fire crews ordered a full-site evacuation for safety checks, leaving it unclear when talks would resume.
