at the cop climate summit in dubai today, the brazilian president, lula da silva, addressed the elephant in the room. "we have a collective problem," he said, "a lack of ambition," "our current targets," he added, "don't go anywhere near far enough." the evidence suggests he is right. today, the world meteorological organisation told us, with a month to go in 2023, the average global temperature is on track to be 1.4 degrees celsius above pre—industrial levels. that is 2.5 fahrenheit. you might recall that the agreement in 2015, in paris, was to limit global warming to "well below" 2 degrees celsius and to "pursue efforts" to keep warming within the much safer limit of 1.5. few believe that that can now be achieved. and so, a lot of the focus at this cop is about finance. finance to speed up the transition to cleaner energies in the developing world, and finance to pay for the loss and damage that the biggest nations have wreaked on the weakest. the summit agreed on thursday that the fund should be set at $100 billion by 2030.

the hosts, the uae, together with germany, pledged $100 million each, the uk $76 million, the us $17.5 million. it is a token gesture from the white house and the smallest countries would say in keeping with the way this issue is dealt with by the biggest polluters. the reason it is so low, joe, is because, of course, congress cannot agree who bears responsibility for the climate change we see around the world. white house has an offering, which is way, way below what is needed when you're looking at a pop to the size of $100 billion. weill. to the size of $100 billion. well, ou to the size of $100 billion. well, you know. — to the size of $100 billion. well, you know. i _ to the size of $100 billion. well, you know, i think— to the size of $100 billion. well, you know, i think at _ to the size of $100 billion. well, you know, i think at this - to the size of $100 billion. well, you know, i think at this point, i to the size of $100 billion. well, | you know, i think at this point, it is fair— you know, i think at this point, it is fair to— you know, i think at this point, it is fair to say— you know, i think at this point, it is fair to say among the american folks— is fair to say among the american folks that — is fair to say among the american folks that most people will acknowledge climate change, most people _ acknowledge climate change, most people acknowledge the temperatures are rising. _ people acknowledge the temperatures are rising, there is too much air

9:38 pm
where the former president is charged with multiple counts of racketeering, a pre—trial hearing got underway in which mr trump's lawyers were fighting to have it thrown out. that is just one day, one snapshot of a day in the life of donald trump, joe, and that for many people is the problem. i hate to think what his legal bills must be like. i can his legal bills must be like. i can onl , i his legal bills must be like. i can only. i mean. — his legal bills must be like. i can only, i mean, when _ his legal bills must be like. i can only, i mean, when i— his legal bills must be like. i can only, i mean, when i was- his legal bills must be like. i can only, i mean, when i was on - his legal bills must be like. i can only, i mean, when i was on the| his legal bills must be like. i can only, i mean, when i was on the lost law firm _ only, i mean, when i was on the lost law firm side — only, i mean, when i was on the lost law firm side i— only, i mean, when i was on the lost law firm side i would have salivated, right, all his dollars. yes, _ salivated, right, all his dollars. yes. took. _ salivated, right, all his dollars. yes. took. i_ salivated, right, all his dollars. yes, look, ithink salivated, right, all his dollars. yes, look, i think donald trump is in a tough — yes, look, i think donald trump is in a tough spot. i do think that his opponents — in a tough spot. i do think that his opponents have to be a little careful— opponents have to be a little careful of the idea of sort of piling — careful of the idea of sort of piling on— careful of the idea of sort of piling on because in my assessment, some _ piling on because in my assessment, some of— piling on because in my assessment, some of these cases are stronger than _ some of these cases are stronger than others. as far as the immunity, that is— than others. as far as the immunity, that is not— than others. as far as the immunity, that is not surprising. i mean, a president — that is not surprising. i mean, a president receives immunity for officiat— president receives immunity for official acts so he or she cannot be sued _ official acts so he or she cannot be sued for— official acts so he or she cannot be sued for whatever decision they make officially— sued for whatever decision they make officially during the course of

9:40 pm
donald trump, and he has called on liberal democrats in open primaries around the country to come out in support of her to see off donald trump. now, people don't follow the primary season, they are about half, i think that is right, about half the states have open primaries around the country, joe? in other states you have to be a party ticket holder in order to vote, but can you see a scenario, annabel, were actually some momentum could start to build around nikki haley's campaign, may be driven by the other side? ~ ., , , campaign, may be driven by the other side? ., , campaign, may be driven by the other side? ., ~ side? well, anything is possible. a ear is a side? well, anything is possible. a year is a very _ side? well, anything is possible. a year is a very long _ side? well, anything is possible. a year is a very long time _ side? well, anything is possible. a year is a very long time in - year is a very long time in politics, christian, but itjust seems like donald trump has pulled so far away in the republican nomination race and i struggle to see how many billie any of the other candidates in what is still a pretty large pool are going to be able to catch up with him. and it seems that the larger the circus gets, the more oxygen he is able to absorb, the
9:41 pm
more robust the support from grassroots republicans appears to be behind him, so you can understand the incentive for perhaps appealing to some liberal democrats to throw their support behind other contenders in that race because there is so little chance of breaking the hold that donald trump has over his most fierce supporters. yes. just one line from manny willis, the district attorney in fulton county said today she wants a trial. they are in pre—trial motions at the moment, she said she wants a trial in august 2024, which of course would be two or three months before the vote in november, so there will be plenty going on right up there will be plenty going on right up until the vote. around the world and across the uk, this is bbc news. bbc news, bringing you different stories from across the uk. that stories from across the uk. git national star college in cheltenham, students living with conditions that

you this next story, given whatjoe has already told us about his views on electric cars, but the cybertruck is rolling off the production line at tesla. and surely a welcome distraction for the embattled owner elon musk. on thursday the first of these stainless steel pick—ups were delivered at a typically high octane event at tesla headquarters, in texas. there were videos of the electric truck resisting bullets, racing sports cars, pulling huge loads — one us magazine called it an "adolescent video game fantasy". the company has invested a lot in the cybertruck — they boast they have 2 million pre—orders, which is quite something — 15% of that would equal the annual unit sales of toyota. but it is late off the line, and there has been a 10k dollar price bump on the 2019 pre—order price, and we must see whether that proves to be a drag on demand. certainly, musk needs this to work. if only to remind people what a genius he is, which some would rightly be questioning right now.

but he may have his decision now overturned by michael gove, who seems to perhaps be in favour of it. now, the levelling up secretary does have a right to call in certain planning projects, but when he has wielded that in the past it has been to block, rather than to wave through developments. now, i think this really speaks to a wider problem we have in the uk when it comes to building and that is not just about housing and a high housing crisis, it is about shop fronts and spheres and economic growth, creating growth and jobs and saying yes to investment or to quote keir starmer, it is about being a builder and not a blocker. so actually, i understand there are concerns, particularly from local residents, but i think there is something the uk should press ahead with. ., , , something the uk should press ahead with. . , , , something the uk should press ahead with. .y , with. really interesting. maybe pick u . with. really interesting. maybe pick u- on that, they are talking about stratford—upon—avon, aren't they? we are out of time, annabel denham and joe moreno, lovely to have your company on the programme this evening, thank you forjoining us, we will of course be back on monday,

because he was four under through the first 12 holes, but three late birdies rather ruined his card. he's one over par overall. scottie scheffler and jordan spieth share the lead on 9 under par overall. and that's all the sport for now. hello there. the big freeze is set to continue throughout the weekend ahead and well into next week as well. on friday, we did have some fresh snowfall around, but many of us had blue skies and sunshine. it was a day where temperatures didn't get above freezing all day in places. and we're going to see temperatures drop like a stone overnight. now, these showers heading into dumfries and galloway could be quite interesting, bringing up to three centimetres of snow, eventually working into cumbria. and we'll also have some snow showers for northern and eastern scotland, eastern england that could bring an odd centimetre or two. ice the main hazard, a really cold night. lowest temperatures probably getting down to about —10. on to saturday's forecast, any mist patches tending to clear away. a lot of dry weather with sunshine. showers this time focused across western areas. these are likely to come in as rain or sleet through the day on saturday. temperatures really struggling. there'll be some places that stay
9:57 pm
well below freezing once again. now, saturday night could bring some areas of localised disruption across england and wales. clumps of showers are going to start to push eastwards. now, some of them could well fall as snow, but i think mixed in with this, we may well have a spell of freezing rain, really dangerous stuff, this. it's liquid rain that's got a temperature below zero and it turns to ice on any surface it touch. surface it touches. so we could well see roads and pavements turn to ice rinks across parts of england and wales from this feature. further northwards, we've got clearer skies, drier weather. and another bitterly cold night, with temperatures again plunging, plumbing the depths and probably getting down to about —10, again, in the coldest areas. sunday, any wintriness will clear away from eastern areas. in the south, we'll be threatened with bits and pieces of rain, maybe a bit of sleet or hail, snow on the northern edge of this. away from that, though, we've got a few mist patches. otherwise, it's dry with sunshine. it stays very cold, and it could be another day where temperatures stay below freezing.
9:58 pm
or in other words, there will be some of you that have temperatures throughout the whole of the weekend below freezing. on monday, an area of low pressure is forecast to move to the south of the uk. now, this could well have some snow on its northern edge, but the exact amount of snow that we'll get in places depends entirely on the track of that area of low pressure and there's a bit of uncertainty. but away from that, a lot of sunshine, some showers affecting eastern coasts. and for most, it stays really cold again. bye for now.
