This is the same question as Infinite product of probability measures is a premeasure but there is one step I don't understand: if $(C_k)_{k=1}^infty$ is a decreasing sequence in $mathcal C$ such that $C_k in mathcal C_k$ for all $k$, and $bigcap_{k=1}^infty C_k = varnothing$, then $m(C_k) to 0$. I don't understand why this is sufficient to prove $sigma$-additivity given finite additivity. I've been stuck on this step for two days, any help is appreciated.

          That's a standard fact about finite measures: If $(E_n)_{n}$ are disjoint and measurable, then $A_n:= bigcup_{k=1}^n E_n$ is increasing and $C_n := A setminus A_n$ decreasing to the emptyset, where $A= bigcup_{n=1}^infty E_n$. Thus $m(C_n) rightarrow 0$, but
          $$mu(C_k) = mu(A) - mu(A_n) = mu(A) - sum_{k=1}^n mu(E_k).$$
          At this step, we need that $mu$ is finite and finite additive. All in all, we have
          $$sum_{k=1}^n mu(E_k) rightarrow mu(A).$$
