6:07 pm
up again this week, as they slowly work up the chain of command to try and find out how this scandal happened. emma simpson, thank you. last year was the hottest year ever recorded for the world. the average global temperature was almost 15 degrees celsius — that's dramatically higher than the last record set in 2016. our climate editorjustin rowlatt is here with the details. justin... thanks, sophie. the world didn'tjust break the previous global temperature record, it smashed it. the average temperature last year was 1.48 degrees celsius above pre—industrial levels. it beat the previous hottest year — 2016 — by a margin of 0.17 celsius. that's a huge amount when you consider this is global average across the entire year, say climate scientists. just take a look at this. the grey lines show temperatures each year since 1940. the red line shows last year's temperatures. you can see it started off pretty unexceptional in terms of global temperatures. but, from around july onwards, the world began a remarkable
6:08 pm
and look at that — almost unbroken streak of daily air temperature records. more than 200 days set new daily global temperature records, according to bbc analysis of the data from the eu climate organisation, copernicus. here's another way of looking at it. this table shows that every day was at leasti degree above pre—industrial temperatures. almost half of all days, these in the darkest red, were more than 1.5 degrees above them. and we even had a couple of days in november that were more than two degrees hotter — that's another first. our climate is changing and it's changing drastically and not only is this recorded in record temperatures around the world but it's also recorded in the frequency and intensity of extreme events. and what we've seen in 2023 were seven of the months of that year were the warmest months on record. sea surface temperatures were even more dramatic than the air temperature.
6:09 pm
here's what happened last year. you can see every day from mid—march onwards saw a new daily global sea surface temperature record. towards the end of the year, the el nino weather effect kicked in. that's where temperatures rise in the pacific ocean, radiating extra heat into the atmosphere. and it is also a key reason the met office expects this year to be even hotter than 2023. the main driver is the greenhouse gases in our atmosphere. so those are continuing to rise and that's giving rise to this 0.2 degrees per decade increase in surface temperature. but added to that, this year, we've got the boost of the el nino, so that's developed through the end of last year, but its main effect on global temperatures is actually the year after that. so we're expecting this year, 2024, to be slightly warmer than last year. so, what is the world doing to tackle the problem? at the cop28 climate meeting in dubai at the end of last year,
6:10 pm
countries agreed for the first time that the world needs to transition away from fossil fuels — the main source of the emissions warming the climate. here's the moment that happened. it is so decided... applause now, countries aren't obliged to act on these commitments but it is significant that countries that have dragged their heels on climate in the past — saudi arabia, russia and india, for example — have publicly acknowledged the importance of tackling climate change. and 2023 saw a big increase in investment in renewable energy globally. china continued to lead the world, adding almost half of the new capacity. but europe, the us and india have also been ramping up the installation of wind and solar power. but — and this is a big but — 80% of the world's energy still comes from fossil fuels — a measure ofjust how much further we still have to go. sophie... justin, thank you.
6:11 pm
united airlines says it has found multiple bolts that needed tightening during checks on its boeing 737 max—9 aircraft. the inspections were ordered after part of the fuselage of an alaska airlines plane, blew out in mid—air. theo leggett reports. for the passengers, it was terrifying. an unused cabin door blew off a boeing 737 max minutes after take—off from portland airport on friday, leaving this gaping hole. there was just a really loud boom which was so startling, and the plane just filled with wind and air. and it's just crazy because that shouldn't happen, right? you don't — you know something's wrong and you don't know what. i didn't know where the air was coming from. the oxygen mask dropped. 170 aircraft of the same type were grounded as investigators began examining the plane. the door was found in a back garden not far away. it was very obviously part of a plane. it had the same curvature as a fuselage. my heart did start beating a little faster at that
6:12 pm
point because i thought, "oh, my goodness, people have been looking for this all weekend and it looks like it's in my back yard." alaska airlines, which had been operating the flight, says it's since found loose door parts in other aircraft in its fleet. united airlines has made a similar discovery. the 737 max already has a tainted record. 346 people were killed in two separate crashes off the coast of indonesia and in ethiopia a few years ago. defective computer software was blamed. boeing insists safety is its number one priority. but campaigners, including a former senior manager at the company, say the rush to build planes quickly is putting lives at risk. i get people that contact me all the time. they tell me that it's worse than it was when i was there. we're fortunate, this might be a major blessing to have such a highly visible incident occur that will cause them to have to admit that we have serious — they have some serious problems. in a statement, boeing said...
6:13 pm
the investigation is still going on, but friday's incident has already raised new questions about the safety culture at boeing and the way it builds its best selling aircraft. theo leggett, bbc news. artificial intelligence has helped find a brand new substance which could reduce the amount of lithium used in batteries by up to 70%. lithium is expensive and mining it damages the environment. the process to find an alternative could have taken decades for humans — but ai has done it injust two weeks. our technology editor zoe kleinman reports. so much of the world's top tech relies on one thing — batteries. the race is on to find stronger,
6:14 pm
longer lasting power storage. and today, microsoft says it may have made a breakthrough. the tech giant used artificial intelligence to help create an entirely new material, to reduce the amount of lithium used in almost all batteries today. in less than a week, the ai tool churned its way through 32 million options, settling on a short—list ofjust 18 materials — with a winning combination called n2116. so, there's better energy density. so if we think about that, it could mean, for example, that i could double the number of miles on an electric vehicle, for example, because i can store much more energy in a smaller space. and from that perspective, it's great. it uses up to 70% less lithium. that's important because lithium does have an environmental price tag. it has to be mined and demand is soaring. a single average electric car battery contains around eight kilos of it. there's huge competition to make batteries better. last year, toyota claimed its new solid state car battery
6:15 pm
will charge in ten minutes and have a driving range of 620 miles. scientists around the world are experimenting with all sorts of different materials inside batteries, including cotton, calcium, magnesium and saltwater. so i think using ai for this type of material discovery is a really exciting new tool, but it needs to be treated with a bit of caution. it can throw up spurious results or results that look good at first and then turn out to either be a material that's known or that can't be synthesized in the lab. it's still very early days for the microsoft prototype. so far, the only thing it's powered is a light bulb. zoe kleinman, bbc news. the time is 6:16pm. our top story this evening. the former boss of the post office, paula vennells, will hand back her cbe amid mounting public anger over the it scandal. and the teacher who quit the classroom to make it as an artist. we hearfrom one woman who completely changed her life
6:16 pm
after a traumatic event. coming up on sportsday in the next 15 minutes on bbc news — we'll get the latest from yorkshire county cricket club, where they're holding a board meeting to discuss what would be the controversial return of colin graves, their former chairman. there's a worrying shortage of midwives across the uk, and, according to new analysis by the bbc, 70% of maternity units in england are not safe enough. the royal college of midwives has said staffing is their "most important issue". our research has found that there's a shortage of 2,500 midwives in england alone — on average that's around 25 per hospital trust. in northern ireland, the shortfall is almost 100 — which works out as around 19 per trust. there are similar numbers
6:17 pm
missing in wales. we can't give the figures for scotland as workforce gaps aren't recorded in the same way. our health correspondent, catherine burns, reports from a labour ward that s dealing with staff shortages. her report begins with the birth of a baby by caesarean section. this is a story about something miraculous. life at the very start. about the nhs staff who do this every day. it's been amazing to look after the women in croydon. they've been so lovely to look after. yeah? but it's a story too, about when things don't go so smoothly. the pain was unbearable. unbearable. and about the midwives who end up leaving the job they used to love. i miss it, but i also mourn it. so i mourn it because i don't see it improving. today we first met nicole de cruz and her husband michael, outside an operating theatre at croydon university hospital.
6:18 pm
i'm nervous and excited at the same time. 20 minutes later, their daughter xenia arrives. her mum and dad, relief and joy. i've never seen a baby being born before. the best feeling ever. it's just amazing. sorry. we're at the labour ward. so this is where the magic happens? exactly. phoebe is right at the start of her career as a midwife. she loves it. i'm very privileged to be able to be in this role. it's such an amazing job, and i wouldn't change it for the world. so that's going well. that's great. but maternity unit need more phoebes. there's a shortage of 2500 midwives in england. despite that, the number employed has gone up byjust 7% in a decade. and it's a tricky balance recruiting enough new midwives and stopping more experienced staff walking away.
6:19 pm
i may have just about preserved safety, butjust preserving safety shouldn't be enough in the nhs. hannah williams left herjob as a midwife in another part of the country, worried that staffing pressures meant she couldn't look after mums and babies properly. i think i've probably always managed to by the skin of my teeth, but it isn't the care that i've wanted to give someone. and that's ultimately what made me walk away. when you called for help, what did the midwife say to you? she said that, listen, you keep ringing the bell. you're not in labour. the doctor checked you. please do not ring the bell because we are busy. nobody came. no one came until i gave the birth. farzana kardeem's baby was born in another nhs maternity unit with no medical help. even though farzana had been told she was high risk and needed a caesa rean section.
6:20 pm
her daughter, kadair, is now a happy and healthy toddler. but farzana needed emergency surgery and is still traumatized by what happened. you went there for help. you went there for treatment and when the time came, nobody was there. nhs england says more midwives are being trained and recruited and that staff tell them things are improving. so hopefully more families can enjoy those precious first moments together safely. catherine burns, bbc news. the breeding and sale of dogs for their meat is to become illegal in south korea. the new law, set to come into force by 2027, aims to end the centuries—old practice of humans eating dog meat. our seoul correspondent jean mackenzie reports. the breeding and sale of dogs for their meat is to become reared and slaughtered for their meat. on this farm, more than 1,000 dogs
6:21 pm
are kept like this — eventually to be used in the centuries old dish of dog meat stew. but the meat was already falling out of favour. this alleyway is one of the few places you can still come to eat dog meat here in seoul — in one of these specialist restaurants. dog meat is considered a delicacy among some older koreans, but it's far less popular now with young people. many of them never eat it now or have never even tried it... translation: more i people have pets today. dogs are like family now, and it's not nice to eat our family, so i think it's best to get rid of it. ..though older diners were less enthusiastic about the ban. translation: we've eaten this since the middle ages. - why stop us from eating our traditional food? if you ban dog, you should ban beef. animal rights activists celebrated a long—fought for victory.
6:22 pm
those who farm, butcher and sell dog meat will be jailed for up to three years. but the ban won't come into force until 2027, giving farmers and restaurant owners time to plan. the industry has clashed with the government over the bill. the practice should have been allowed to die out naturally, they argued, rather than their livelihoods be wrecked. mrs kim has run dog meat restaurants since the 1980s. "i don't know what we're supposed to do now", she told me. "we need to be compensated. i think we should accept dog meat, but raise and slaughter them hygienically." these dogs were rescued from a farm last year. hundreds of thousands more will now soon be looking for new homes. jean mackenzie, bbc news, in seoul.
6:23 pm
a fifth of children in england missed at least 10% of school last year ? twice as many as before the covid pandemic — that's according to the government's own figures. now labour has set out its plans to tackle persistent absence from schools, including better mental health support and free breakfast clubs for primary—aged pupils. here's our education editor, bra nwen jeffreys. the noise and bustle of a large secondary. overwhelming for teenagers struggling with their mental health. at their school in barnsley, logan and abbie got counselling. now turning up regularly instead of avoiding lessons. me and my family have little jokes about like all you've done a week at school and i've made a massive change. like, its like, i set goals for myself that if i'd done a week, that's good. and then if i've done two weeks, that's good. so before just not coming in.
6:24 pm
just stay in bed. just do not listen to anyone, and then i'lljust come in as much as i can. go on time. instead of being that. labour is promising a counsellor for every secondary school here, they're already spending £400,000 on mental health support. when you see at an individual level, when are you working with students and you can put that real support in and try and get those students back in and work. sometimes it's very, very small steps and sometimes that takes time. but you know, the impact that can have on an individual is absolutely huge. labour supported the lockdowns that closed schools. now she wants to convince you they have the solutions using money from scrapping tax breaks for private schools. so breakfast clubs, free breakfast clubs in all of our primary schools and major help around the cost of living. a lot of families are experiencing cost of living squeeze in their budgets. can you understand why they take their children out for a holiday? i know that parents are facing tough choices at the moment
6:25 pm
around the cost of living, but there can be no excuses for taking our children out of school for holidays. so no backing away from fining parents for term time holidays. the lockdowns were the biggest disruption to children's lives in generations. there's evidence it's fundamentally shifted attitudes towards going to school, and there isn't a simple solution to that. labour is popping up now with its plans as an election looms. parents pay a pound a day at this breakfast club. the school makes sure it's free for any struggling families. there is evidence this helps learning and attendance. so does mentoring for families, which the government has extended. what shall we do now? what's harder is to rebuild the belief in school every day. branwen jeffreys, bbc news. the leader of plaid cymru, rhun ap iorwerth, has called for wales to be given more powers to create different tax bands similar to scotland.
6:26 pm
setting out his economic strategy, he said the priority for wales was to receive a fairer funding settlement from the uk government. we can't take for granted somehow that changing the uk government from blue to red will resolve some of those deep problems that we have in wales. and plaid cymru is the party that will stand up for issues such as fairfunding. we're talking about the budgets in the senedd today. we've lost hundreds of millions of pounds from that budget because of the unfairness of the funding settlement. these paintings are by a woman who until a decade ago was teaching children at a primary school in london. but then tragedy struck when one of her pupils was murdered, and it made her completely rethink her life. she quit teaching and decided to pursue her dream of becoming an artist. and let's just say it has worked out. colin paterson has been to meet margo in margate. meet the artist known as margo in margate.
6:27 pm
i'm loving what i do and i think hopefully that shows up in the artwork, as well. a decade ago, margo completely changed her life. she was a primary school teacher in inner city london when tragedy befell one of her pupils. there was a little girl in my class who was put on the — i was actually one of the people who put her on the at risk register. and sadly, yeah, she was murdered with her mum and that did actually, that really changed my life. margo decided to quit teaching and pursue her lifelong dream and for the last ten years has created at least one painting every single day. and so i started drawing little small pictures in my bedroom every night on a desk. and i just thought that's. . .that�*s what i'm going to do. i'm going to paint every single day for ten years. superfan kara is typical of the kind of devotion she inspires. the look of love in the upstairs hallway. love, as you can see, is the theme.
6:28 pm
now in the kitchen, this is elvis. this is one of margo's personal favourites. in our bathroom — you to me are everything. until last year, margo hadn't sold any pictures for more than £250. that's changing. the art world has woken up to her wider popularity and her prices are reaching thousands. and now, at the age of 54, the mother of two boys has her own show in brighton's helm gallery. margo, how does it feel to see this? it is unbelievable. i absolutely love it. it's so much colour, and to see everything together in one room, it's. . . it's mind—blowing. it's just fantastic. and margo wants to encourage other people to follow their dreams. make time for something that you love doing and maybe that is, that's where you should go. colin paterson, bbc news. weather in a moment — but let me just show you this
6:29 pm
extraordinary footage of a double—decker bus that lost control after it hit freezing rain and crashed into parked vehicles, before skidding into a garden wall and coming to a halt. it had been on its way to a primary school in kirkcaldy. luckily there were no passengers on board. police scotland say no—one was injured. time for a look at the weather. here's louise lear. plenty of challenges as we have been seeing on the weather recently. it is just a few days ago when a major incident was declared in nottingham. look at the difference. in fact we have had blue sky and sunshine yesterday and yesterday there was significant flooding but hopefully the sunshine is compensating a little and helping with some of the clear up operations that are no doubt ongoing. high pressure will dominate the story not only through tomorrow but throughout the rest of the week. the position of the high is important and today we had some
6:30 pm
more isobars to the south and there has been this nagging breeze which has been this nagging breeze which has made it feel cold across england and wales. that will act like our friend overnight because it's more of a breeze, despite clear skies it will stop temperatures falling too far. we are picking up cloud across eastern scotland and england and maybe through the irish sea, so temperatures will stay above freezing but sandwiched either side with the clear skies, they will be below freezing and perhaps not as cold as the morning we had this morning with temperatures to lows of -5 morning with temperatures to lows of —5 or —6 in rural areas so tomorrow morning is where we start with lovely sunshine across england and wales and perhaps western scotland. that north—easterly breeze continues to drive in cloud and a few nuisance showers here and there and they will fade away, the showers, but the cloud mailing all day so temperatures on your thermometer may be a degree or so higher because you haven't got the sunshine it's propaganda feel pretty miserable and quite a cold story out there —— it's
6:31 pm
probably going to feel. something we are not used to
