11:00 am
you're watching bbc newsroom live, it's11am and right now these are the main stories: scientists issue their strongest warning yet on climate change, saying society must undergo rapid and far—reaching change to meet targets. the ipcc report says temperature rises should be limited to no more than 1.5 degrees celsius, just half the increase currently predicted. authorities in china say they're holding the worldwide head of interpol on suspicion of corruption and bribery. 20 people die when a stretch limousine crashes in new york state. it's the deadliest us road accident in a decade. nicola sturgeon is set to defend her support for a second brexit referendum as she speaks to delegates on the second day of the snp conference. and calls for tighter regulation of bouncy castles after the bbc learns more than 20 people have died on inflatable play equipment in the uk since 2011.
11:01 am
good morning. welcome to bbc newsroom live. i'm carol walker. scientists have given one of the starkest warnings yet about the changes needed to tackle climate change. the report by the intergovernmental panel on climate change says that limiting temperature rises to no more than 1.5 celsius will require massive changes to the way we live. it warns that without action, all the world's coral reefs will die out and low lying regions will disappear because of rising sea levels. our science correspondent victoria gill reports. pictures of a warming world. scientists are more confident than ever that the impacts of climate change are playing out now in the severity and frequency
11:02 am
of droughts, storms and other extreme weather events. and, having gathered in the south korean city of incheon for the past week, climate change researchers and government delegates hammered out the final details of a dramatic report, outlining the consequences of a global temperature rise of more than 1.5 degrees and a plan for precisely how that can be prevented. countries need to up their ambition and get moving now with climate change action if we're going to keep 1.5 degrees within reach. with no action, the world is on course to breach this crucial target by as early as 2030, compromising the very livability of our planet. melting polar ice means global sea level rise is projected to be around ten centimetres more if we allow warming to go to two degrees. keeping it to 1.5 means 10 million fewer people would be exposed to the risks of flooding. but this plan is ambitious and it will be expensive. renewable energy sources will need to provide about 85% of global
11:03 am
electricity by 2050. currently they account for about 25%. even with a green energy revolution, this most comprehensive assessment of the perils of climate change concludes that every one of us will need to make changes in we live our lives, in how we live our lives, changes that have to start now. let's discuss this with professorjim skea, who is one of the co—chairs of the report. also i'm joined by dr sally brown, who is a lead author of a chapter in the report that looks at the impact of sea levels rising. let's start with you, professor. the warnings are pretty stark and it is clear from what you are saying that as things stand, the world will miss
11:04 am
the targets, there will be rises in sea levels and other effects from climate change. i would like to be really clear that the genesis of this report came from the government. three years ago in paris they made a commitment to try and work towards 1.5 degrees to stop they asked us at the ipcc to produce they asked us at the ipcc to produce the report on the implications. that is really what we have done. in terms of reducing emissions, there isa terms of reducing emissions, there is a clear message, we need to start working very hard right from now if we are not going to see the options slip away. the bold number is we need to see carbon dioxide emissions reducing by 45% by 2030, compared to recent levels, if we are going to put ourselves on track. by the middle of the century we need to ta ke middle of the century we need to take as much carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere as we put in. really these are dramatic changes that need
11:05 am
these are dramatic changes that need the deployment of new technologies, new approaches and changes in behaviour. the message is indeed are very strong. you talk about the need to reduce carbon emissions by 45%. given, for example, president trump's decision to pull out of the international climate change agreement, how great is the gulf between where the globe is heading at the moment and where it needs to be if it is to reduce the impact of climate change? the pledges that countries made after the paris agreement, people have added them up. if we carried on in that direction and even if we accelerated effo rts direction and even if we accelerated efforts beyond 2030, we would be on track for about three degrees warming over the 21st—century. 0bviously warming over the 21st—century. obviously to the extent that any of the pledges that countries make our weakened or not fulfilled, that ta kes you weakened or not fulfilled, that takes you above even that three degrees kind of level. but we have
11:06 am
definitely established in the report that it definitely established in the report thatitis definitely established in the report that it is within the laws of physics and chemistry to keep global warming within1.5 degrees. the critical issue is going to be the political will and the institutional aspects. the answer lies with the governments that by the audience of oui’ governments that by the audience of our report. they are meeting in poland at the end of the year to talk about the next steps. this report is the only named input into their discussions. that is why the m essa 9 es their discussions. that is why the messages are so direct and strong. they really are a kind of warning to governments about what they need to do if the aspirations they set out at paris are going to be fulfilled. people may find it difficult to understand the consequences of the figures, but the specifics you warn about are really quite far reaching. you talk about millions of people who could be displaced by rising sea levels, the wiping out of all the
11:07 am
coral reefs. yes, that is a very clear message. 0n the tropical coral reefs essentially the message is that at 2 degrees warming they would basically be all wiped out. even 1.5 degrees is not good. perhaps only a third of the coral reefs would survive. the world is already warned by1 survive. the world is already warned by 1 degrees survive. the world is already warned by1 degrees since the preindustrial period, say roughly the middle of the 19th century. we are two thirds of the way there to the limit we talk about. currently the planet is warming by about a fifth of a degree per decade. it is not very far before we get to that 1.5 limit if we carry on as we are. let's bring in doctor sally brown on that point. this issue of rising sea levels is perhaps one of the most serious consequences unless the rising temperatures are contained. yes,
11:08 am
absolutely. what the report suggests is that with 1.5 odd to degrees rise in temperatures and sea levels could rise up to 77 centimetres by the end of the century and millions of people will be affected, living in low elevation coastal zones today and going into the future. we have to think about how we can protect them and adapt in order to make them less vulnerable. where specifically are people likely to be affected? we hear about the maldives as one of the first places that could be affected. the maldives is the world's lowest lying nation. its elevation is about one metre above sea level and people there are critically affected by sea—level rise. but there are other low—lying places around the world, places such as deltas, like in asia were a lot of people rely on the land for their sustainability and their livelihoods. the mekong delta, the
11:09 am
ganges, all places that will be severely affected by sea—level rise. what about people in the uk? we have seen some pretty dramatic weather in recent months and years. are there specific concerned about what could happen here in britain? the government is very concerned. we know there are a lot of low—lying areas around britain and they are protected today, but maintaining that protection is really challenging, as we saw in 2030 and 2014 where there were a lot of breaches during winter in the sea defences. the government wants to do something about that where there is a political will and where there is money, to enable things to go ahead to help people. in london and the thames estuary there is the thames estuary 2100 plan which makes a plan of how to adapt to rising sea levels over the next 100 years. if i can go back to you, professor, you talked
11:10 am
earlier about the need for a political will to tackle this. are you concerned that climate change gets pushed off the agenda. here in the uk it was not a big issue at the conservative party conference last week. theresa may hardly mentioned it in her big speech. we know that president trump is sceptical about climate change and how much of it is man—made. are you concerned that this whole issue is in danger of being shelved from the top of the political agenda? one advantage we have in the uk is we have got quite a strong legal framework for dealing with climate change. with the climate change act we have got a legally binding targets by 2050 of an 80% reduction and the carbon budgets have been set out until 2030 and they are more than complied with at the moment. we do have successes. for example, we have almost
11:11 am
eliminated coal for electricity generation, and there has been a huge uptake of renewable energy for electricity. we need to count on these successes. things are happening. but the challenge in the uk is to take the successes in the electricity sector and move them over into other areas. for example, home heating efficiency, moving to electric vehicles, they are areas in which it is important to make progress. the uk will run into difficulties in about ten years' time in meeting its targets unless the government picks up and enhances the government picks up and enhances the accent. doctor sally brown, finally, we have seen measures in the uk to do things like tackle plastic waste and so on. do you think there is a public appetite that could help drive governments towards doing more to tackle this problem? it comes down to what individuals believe and what their priorities are. if people realise
11:12 am
now the dangers of having too much plastic and what it means to the oceans, when we have a big flood event they realise how honourable they are to the ocean. unless we keep thinking about it and challenging ourselves about how we live with the sea, we cannot change. we all need to take another step and evaluate how we live near the sea and what we can do to reduce flood risk in the long term. thank you both very much indeed forjoining us. we will be discussing this report in more detail at 1235. we will bejoined by report in more detail at 1235. we will be joined by professor hague. joining us then will be professorjoanna haigh from the grantham institute for climate change and environment and professor chris fogwill from the keele institute for sustainable futures at keele university. and let us know what you think about the climate change report and the questions you want us to ask the experts. tell us whether you are prepared to change the way you live in order to stop global temperatures rising.

11:14 am
figures obtained by channel 4's dispatches programme suggest nearly a million reported crimes are dropped with little or no investigation. 25 police forces in england and wales responded to a freedom of information. nearly 40% of crimes in the greater manchester police area are not followed up. the home office said all crime reports should be taken seriously. the organisers of the cardiff half—marathon say they will carry out a review after two competitors died in yesterday's race. the two men, who have not been named but were in their twenties and thirties, collapsed at the finishing line. they are believed to have suffered heart attacks. the organisers say they were both given medical treatment at the scene, before being taken to hospital where they died. mps have criticised the apprenticeship scheme, saying the training is not good enough and that disadvantaged people are not being given
11:15 am
the support they need. the government said that 83% of training providers were rated good or outstanding by 0fsted. the family of a briton who died after being bitten by a sea snake in australia have been paying tribute to him. 23—year—old harry evans from poole in dorset was bitten as he pulled up a net on a fishing boat 400 miles east of darwin. his mother sharon says he'd been working in a job he loved and was living his dream. the authorities in china have said they're holding the worldwide head of interpol on suspicion of corruption and allegations of bribery. interpol says it's received the resignation of meng hongwei who hadn't been seen since leaving lyon in france for china two weeks ago. we have had confirmation from the
11:16 am
chinese authorities that he is under investigation. that announcement did not come from a court of law or a senior prosecutor, but it came from the central commission for discipline inspection, the shadowy, internal communist party body here charged with prosecuting jin ping's crackdown on corruption. it raises concerns of course. back at the time of disappointment in 2016 there were concerns raised that appointing a senior member of a police force in a 1—party senior member of a police force in a 1— party state senior member of a police force in a 1—party state would pose problems foran 1—party state would pose problems for an international body that was supposed to be free of political considerations. nobody expected in the end that it would be his disappearance that would underline those concerns in such dramatic fashion. the normal process for
11:17 am
senior officials caught up in this anti—corruption campaign is a matter of months normally, sometimes more extended than that in party custody while the officials investigate, and then some form of announcement, a guilty verdict if you like in terms of the violation of party discipline. then that official is handed over to the judicial authorities. we do not know the detail, we do not know whether he is guilty or innocent, but that is the point ina guilty or innocent, but that is the point in a 1—party state, we simply do not know. the headlines on bbc news... scientists have issued their strongest warning yet on climate change, saying society will have to undergo rapid and far—reaching change to meet targets. authorities in china say they're holding the worldwide head of interpol on suspicion of corruption and allegations of bribery. interpol says it's received
11:18 am
the resignation of men hong way, who hadn't been seen since leaving lyon in france for china two weeks ago. 20 people die after a stretch limosine crashes in new york state in the worst us road crash in a decade. gareth bale is among the nominees for this season's ballon d'0r. he scored five goals for real madrid to help them into the champions league in may. mo farah has won the chicago marathon at only his third attempt at this distance and he broke the european record as well. kyle edmund has moved up to 14, moving up two places and is britain's number one, moving past andy murray in march. there are reports this morning that some tory brexiteers have warned theresa may that any
11:19 am
customs arrangements with the eu must end by the next election in 2022. that's according to the times, and it comes as negotiations with the eu enter another vital week. we can speak now to our assistant political editor, norman smith, who's in westminster. norman, a crucial week in the brexit negotiations. signs of some sort of compromise being offered by the prime minister which would essentially involve the uk staying in the customs union, even though theresa may has been saying for months that that will not happen. they seem to be floating this idea that we would remain in not the customs union, but we would have very similar customs arrangements to the eu, potentially even beyond the transition period which runs until december 2020. even if theresa may manages to sell that package to
11:20 am
brussels, and that is quite a big if, talking to folks back here in westminster things are not looking that great for her here if she hopes to sell the deal to mps at westminster. talking to the brexiteers, they are adamant they will not accept any sort of deal which keeps us in some sort of customs arrangements beyond the transition period. they are also insisting that the chequers deal must be dead and buried, they do not wa nt must be dead and buried, they do not want that put on life support and kept going. the dup are similarly unhappy about the idea of regulatory checks between northern ireland and the rest of great britain. indeed we had the leader of the dup say at the tory party conference that their red line was blood red on the issue. lastly, there had been hope in some of theresa may's camp that maybe a few labour mps would be tempted to back her proposal. talking to labour remainers, i do not detect any sense
11:21 am
that they will come riding over the horizon to her rescue. boiled down, despite the movement by number ten to put together this sort of hybrid backstop, i think the prime minister is still facing an enormous challenge in getting this through parliament. clearly her room for manoeuvre with no overall majority is pretty restricted. presumably she is pretty restricted. presumably she is hoping if she can get some sort of deal agreed with the european union that she will then be able to convince enough mps in her own party and others that it is better to go for that than risk having no deal at all. you will hear two arguments from theresa may's team. 0ne all. you will hear two arguments from theresa may's team. one is it isa from theresa may's team. one is it is a withdrawal deal and it is the deal that gets us out of the eu, let's just accept that. two, it will have been agreed to an sign up to buy 27 other countries with governments of different political
11:22 am
complexions, some on the right and some on the left, so she will be able to say to mps, put to one side all your party political views, this isa all your party political views, this is a deal which 27 different governments have managed to agree to. lastly, ithink governments have managed to agree to. lastly, i think she will hope to get a bit of momentum if she can get the eu to sign up to a deal and she will hope that gives her a bit of traction going into this crucial vote. we don't know when it is going to be, probably before christmas. but it will be an almighty and titanic tussle if she is to get it through parliament. norman, many thanks for the latest from westminster. a big couple of weeks ahead for the brexit talks and we'll be bringing you all the details here on bbc news. and every day we'll be checking in with our reporter adam fleming who is tracking the talks in brussels. let's get more on this from adam fleming, who's in brussels for us. we were hearing about the difficulties that theresa may faces.
11:23 am
clearly the eu has also got to try to unified 27 member states around a position and we are hoping to hear some more on some of those critical, difficult issues around the northern ireland border on wednesday of this week. that is still to be seen, like so much of what happens in the brexit talks we do not know if it will happen or not. what will be discussed today by eu officials and the eu commission is their agenda for their regular wednesday morning meeting of all the european commissioners we think michel barnier will be there. we think he will propose what they are describing is the outline of the political declaration of the future relationship. that is the second end product that will come at the end of the brexit talks. alongside the brexit treaty that will seal the terms of the divorce and separation, there will be a second document, a political declaration, which will be agreed between the uk and the eu which will set out the principles
11:24 am
about the shape of the future relationship, perhaps in detail. michel barnier may present a first go at that on wednesday morning. although the more i hear about it, the less excited i get. it may be a spreadsheet of all the elements of the future relationship and where the future relationship and where the two sides stand. we may get a column in green where the two sides are happy, like cooperation on security and terrorism, financial services, the erasmus student exchange scheme. and then a couple of columns in read about things like the chequers plan, the complicated customs arrangements and whether there could be a common rule book on free trade in goods. in other words, it might be things that we kind of know already. that is to be confirmed. also to be confirmed is whether the european commission will publish its second no deal planning document. they published one earlier in the summer, saying these are the things the state need to think about
11:25 am
if there is no deal. we think there will be an updated version of that on wednesday. reports in the papers over the weekend said it would make grim reading because the eu will speu grim reading because the eu will spell out just how little grim reading because the eu will spell outjust how little it is prepared to do to help the uk if there is no brexit deal. that is also still to be confirmed. stay tuned and we will bring you the news on those two important documents. lot of uncertainty. but the irish prime minister is clearly a key player in all of this and he was saying at the weekend that he thinks the withdrawal agreement is 90% agreed. was he being a bit optimistic? no, he was being very accurate and precise and i am glad this has come up because it comes back to the point there would be two in products. there is the political declaration we were just talking about, and then there was the withdrawal agreement, the terms of the divorce, citizens' rights, money, the northern ireland backstop
11:26 am
and a whole load of other winding up issues. the deputy prime minister of ireland is right to say that the percentage of that that has been agreed is creeping up all the time. it was about 80% for a long time and we now think it is about 90—95%, because issues are getting close off and they are making progress on things like the status of gibraltar in the brexit treaty. what about british military bases on cyprus? they are making progress on those detail, technical areas. they are making progress on those detail, technicalareas. if something is 90 or 95% down, that means there is ten to 5% not done and that includes things like the infamous backstop, the insurance policy for avoiding a hard border in northern ireland if a future trade deal cannot do it. that is still a tricky issue. while they are making advances on the withdrawal agreement in other areas, there are still complicated areas to be sorted out and that is where the focus on the
11:27 am
final push will be in the next ten days or so. adam, i know you will be giving us abreast on all the developments. thank you. the scottish national party leader nicola sturgeon has said her party's 35 mps would vote in favour of another eu referendum if given the opportunity to do so at westminster. the snp party conference is currently taking place in glasgow, from where ms sturgeon spoke to us earlier today. she explained why mps in her party would back a so—called people's vote. as we revere ever closer to the end of march next year, the cliff edge, there is still no detail at all about what the future relationship might be and there may not be any detail about the future relationship at the point of exit. if there is a proposal to give the people another say, that is something that snp mps would back. that said, it will not necessarily resolve the issue
11:28 am
scotla nd necessarily resolve the issue scotland faced in 2016 where we voted to remain and the rest of the uk voted to leave and we face an exit anyway. if there is another opportunity to reaffirm our desire to stay in the eu, we would take it. let's talk to our political correspondent nick eardley. nicola sturgeon was talking about how her mps might support another eu referendum and of course she wants another scottish referendum as well. yes, the snp have been grappling for months now about how to try and make their influence felt on the brexit process , their influence felt on the brexit process, but also had to try and stop it quite frankly. nicola sturgeon had tried to call another independence referendum shortly after the brexit process began. that did not go according to plan for her, it has been put on the back burner. the truth is it remains on
11:29 am
the back burner because she is not ina the back burner because she is not in a position yet where she has the confidence that she would win, nor has the backdrop where she and she can make an argument for independence. that is why she is lending support to that idea of another vote on staying in potentially european union. she knows, and she said in an interview this morning, that it is far from perfect. she would make the point that scotland voted remain the last time and that did not stop the uk as a whole voting to leave. it is part ofan a whole voting to leave. it is part of an arsenal that the snp are trying to build up to give themselves options about what to do over the next few months. but it is all in the consciousness that they do not control this process and the vote across the rest of the uk will be more important than the one in scotla nd be more important than the one in scotland probably. nick, many thanks for the latest from the snp conference. don't forget you can let us
11:30 am
know what you think. tweet us using the hashtag newsroomlive. all the ways to contact us on screen right now. now it's time for a look at the weather. it looks like a good week in store and simon king has the details. it will be warming up quite significantly by wednesday and we will see temperatures up into the 20s, much warmer than the average for this time of the year. today we have cloud and rain affecting northern and western areas and this is stornoway at the moment. the rain in western scotland will continue through the afternoon and over the next 24 hours. in northern ireland rain is moving its way into the far north—west. in england and wales it is looking fine and dry. we will see brea ks is looking fine and dry. we will see breaks in the clouds developing and temperatures getting up to about 18 degrees. tonight that rain will
11:31 am
continue across scotland, northern ireland and the final west of scotland. mist and fog patches developing in southern areas, but temperatures staying in double figures. for england and wales on tuesday another dry and warm day, but more cloud and rain in western scotland. hello, this is bbc news. the headlines... scientists have issued the most extensive warning yet on the scale of the challenge faced in tackling global warming. a report for the united nations says temperature rises should be limited to 1.5 celsius above pre—industrial levels to avert catastrophic warming. china has confirmed that the former head of interpol, who went missing last week, is being investigated for taking bribes. meng hongwei vanished after returning to his homeland
11:32 am
from france two weeks ago. it's unclear where he is being held. 20 people have been killed in a crash involving a stretched limousine taking people to a party in the us state of new york. two pedestrians were among the dead. the snp leader, nicola sturgeon, is set to defend her support for a second brexit referendum, as she speaks to delegates on the second day of the party conference. with 35 mps, it's the biggest party in westminster to back a so—called "people's vote". sport now, here's holly. good morning. the nominees are being announced today for this season's ballon d'0r, the world's most prestigious football awards. and the wales forward gareth bale is among them. he's scored five goals for real madrid this season, after helping them to the champions league title in may. there will be 30 names in all and a shortlist of 15 women
11:33 am
will also be announced, with a women's prize being awarded for the first time this year. the former chelsea and england captainjohn terry said he couldn't have succeeded without the backing of the club's fans, after announcing his retirement from football. as well as his family, the chelsea supporters were given special thanks. terry said he had a tremendous bond with them and his heart would always belong to the club. he's chelsea's most decorated player, winning five premier league titles, five fa cups and a champions league with them. he also earned 78 caps for england. the eagerly—anticipated premier league match between liverpool and manchester city ended in a goalless draw. city's record signing, riyadh mahrez, had the best chance to score a winner at anfield, but he was off target from the penalty spot. city are top of the table, though, ahead of chelsea and liverpool on goal difference. chelsea won 3—0 at southampton. rangers manager steven gerrard says their win against hearts has
11:34 am
blown the scottish title race wide open. rangers won 3—1 at ibrox, inflicting hearts' first defeat in 13 matches. gerrard said they were "sensational". 0nly five points separate rangers, in sixth place, and hearts at the top. the champions, celtic, moved up into third place, with their first away win of the season. james forrest hadn't scored in the league since april but he put away four goals in half an hour, as they won 6—0 at stjohnstone. manchester city women midfielder jill scott has been forced to withdraw from the england squad for tomorrow's match against australia. she has an ankle problem that needs further investigation. scott missed saturday's1—0 win over brazil as a precaution and she's now back with city for treatment. after ten olympic and world titles, mo farah‘s decision to swap the track for road running is paying off. he won the chicago marathon — his first victory over the distance at only his third attempt.
11:35 am
he broke the european record in the process and took 71 seconds off his own best time and it all finished with a very welcome reunion with his wife. i hadn't seen herfor a little while, i've been in training camp for the last two months so i want to go back home to london, spent some time with my kids and then we will think about the next step, hopefully maybe the world championships and other stuff, i'm not sure. british number one kyle edmund has reached a career—high of 14th in the atp world rankings. he reached the semi—finals of the china open last week and he's moved up two places but, more impressively, he's risen from 50th at the start of the year. edmund has been british number one since march, when he passed andy murray, who's now number 262 in the world. london broncos will return to super league after five years away, thanks to victory in the million pound game. toronto wolfpack were the favourites to win in canada but it was a really cagey match, no tries and only three

goals, jarrod sammut scoring both for the broncos, who won 4—2. the former australia opener matthew hayden said he "dodged a bullet" after he was injured while out surfing. he posted a picture of himself after he fractured a bone in his neck and tore ligaments in the accident off stradbroke island in queensland. hayden is 46 now. he thanked everyone who'd helped him and said he was on the road to recovery. he was a prolific batsman, playing 103 tests for australia and scoring 30 centuries before retiring in 2009. that's all the sport for now. i'll have more for you in the next hour. many thanks. back to our top story here on newsroom livem and a new united nations climate report being published at a meeting in south korea says there will have to be "unprecedented changes" to how
11:37 am
people use energy in order to restrict rising temperatures. the intergovernmental panel on climate change is calling for the rise in the earth's temperature since the industrial age to be limited to 1.5 celsius. that's instead of the 2 degrees limit previously agreed in order to prevent significant weather events and rising sea levels. 0ur correspondent matt mcgrath is at the meeting in south korea. what they are talking about here is some really radical changes to counter some pretty serious consequences if there is not global action. that's right. the report has talked about unprecedented changes at all levels of society and that is because the report has taken a close look at what rising temperatures of
11:38 am
1.5 degrees would do to the world compare to 2 degrees and a different might sound very little atjust half a degree but they can't put the profound differences. millions of people would face flooding from sea level rises at 2 degrees, compared toi.5. level rises at 2 degrees, compared to1.5. many level rises at 2 degrees, compared to 1.5. many species we take for granted, coral reefs for instance would be wiped out completely at 2 degrees but we would save some at 1.5. it is food and crops and a whole range of species. they are calling for urgent action, saying we can still make this 1.5 limit but it would take urgent action from governments to cut emissions, carbon emissions, by half over the next 12 years to essentially roll them out by the middle of the century, as well as getting most of our electricity from renewable energy so they are calling for a massive effort and they say time is short. and if they're concerned that there is not really
11:39 am
the global will to take the steps necessary to address this at a time when, for example, president trump has withdrawn from the international climate change agreement? one of the strengths of this particular group, the ipcc come if they spent the last week with government representatives from all countries including the united states, meeting and hammering out this report between them. essentially, all the governments, including the us, have signed up to what is in this and they have agreed it over the last week. that is the easy pa rt it over the last week. that is the easy part in some ways. the more difficult part is getting the government to take on board and take action of what the site is recommended and at will happen later this year in poland when the government will meet to review the paris agreement and look for the idea of increasing their commitments. then we will see whether this report has had any real difference or knock—on effect on those governments and their willingness to take action as the scientists are recommending. many thanks for the latest. officials in beijing have confirmed that the head of the international policing organisation, interpol, has been detained in china
11:40 am
on suspicion of taking bribes. the ministry of public security described the investigation into meng hongwei as "absolutely correct and rather wise". howard zhang from bbc news chinese is here. thank you forjoining us. tell us a bit more about this case. it is quite extraordinary and the beijing statement said, because of his wilfulness and alleged unlawful activities, in a way they did not specify what type of bribery case and corruption and unlawfulness. for government to arrest the head of an international body has never happened before. and also for the wife to declare him and go to the french police to announce his
11:41 am
disappearance to file a missing person case in lyon is also difficult for people to believe. an extraordinary development and what do we know about meng hongwei? clearly he had this very high profile role as head of interpol. before he left for the job at interpol he was the vice minister of public security, also quite high profile come in china, and believed to be one of the closest associates of the former disgraced, what they called the chinese security tsar, who got brought down for corruption charges in 2013. meng hongwei had been critical of the chinese regime. is it thought that there could be political motivation behind this? political motivation is always a suspicion because most critics will point out that most of the arrest
11:42 am
and corruption charges just so happen to be political opponents of the current president. at the same time, it is to be reminded that meng hongwei himself was also the head of the major police action worldwide to arrest overseas alleged corrupt officials. in a way he himself is very much part of the regime as well. many thanks forjoining us. an investigation by the bbc‘s inside out programme in the east of england, has discovered that the deaths of two girls on bouncy castles and inflatables were not isolated incidents. summer grant from norwich died when a bouncy castle blew away in high winds in harlow in 2016. and ava may littleboy from somersham died injuly when an inflatable trampoline on gorleston beach appeared to explode. now it's been revealed that 21 people across the uk have been hurt or seriously injured using similar play equipment since 2011. david whiteley reports. this is the day a bouncy castle
11:43 am
ripped from its moorings and blue across a park, killing seven—year—old summer grant. this was two years ago in essex. we have discovered it is not an isolated case. 21 people have been hurt or seriously injured since 2011 by castles that have hurled them into the air. another victim, also called summer, had just come through cancer treatment. i was at this gala thing and i asked if i could go on the bouncy slide with my friends. i went on it and i was halfway up the stairs and my friend was just coming down the slide and it flew up and she just got off it and i was up in the air. summer suffered head injuries and a broken thigh bone. her parents, karen and chris, feel the castle should never have been put up in the first place. she should have never had it up
11:44 am
and running, not for a start, if he'd done his checks to do with the wind and the regulations of, if the wind is at a certain speed, i have to take that down. clive ellis is an inspector for pipa, a scheme set up by the inflatable play industry to ensure standards are met. he demonstrates what happens when a bouncy castle is used in high winds. from the front, even though it was way over the 24 mph, i was quite surprised at how easy it lifted. we stopped our experiment under 40 mph. the day summer grant died in harlow, the wind had reached 36 mph. as for summer wroniecki, the health and safety executive's report concluded the inflatable was blown across the park because wind speeds were in excess of the maximum, but no one was prosecuted and, in karen and chris's view, the hse is not being rigorous enough. accidents will happen, we understand that.
11:45 am
but accidents when inflatables fly away should never happen. the hse could not tell the bbc the number of spot checks it has carried out but says that it customarily turns up at theme parks and fairgrounds unannounced. as for summer wroniecki, she made a full recovery but won't be going near a bouncy castle ever again. i don't really want to go on bouncy slide again because, like, i don't really like them any more. david whiteley, bbc news. and viewers in the east of england can see more on that story on ‘inside 0ut‘ tonight at 7:30pm on bbc one. viewers in the rest of the uk will be able to watch the programme shortly aftewards via the bbc iplayer. in a moment we'll have all the business news, but first the headlines on bbc news. a climate report says temperature rises should be limited to no more than 1.5 celsius — just half the increase

11:48 am
good morning. do you think they are good enough, the apprenticeships offered? i think there are a number offered? i think there are a number of problems with the current system. it is difficult to say about the overall impact of the reformed without a proper evaluation but we know that in the uk most apprenticeships are still at a level two, the equivalent to gcse level. many of these deliver relatively poor returns for individuals in terms of wages and future employment prospects. more importantly, many of those would not be considered apprenticeships in other countries. for example, in the best european systems or learning that an advanced or higher level. am i right in thinking, when i hear the word apprenticeship and i left school, it isa dirty apprenticeship and i left school, it is a dirty word, the sort of thing you did if you would not or university. we are now
11:49 am
being told that apprenticeships other thing that everybody could consider as a viable alternative to that, actual on—the—job proper training in great industries. but people do not see them like that, do they? no, i think people do not see them like that, do they? no, ithink there is people do not see them like that, do they? no, i think there is still a bit ofan they? no, i think there is still a bit of an image problem, we have some amazing apprenticeship programmes in the uk but we have also seen the proliferation of apprenticeship standard in relatively low skilled and low wage roles, for example serving customers ina copy roles, for example serving customers in a copy shop, basic office administration, and also the growth in other generic skill type apprenticeships, leadership and management, and even the likes of mba apprentice ships for senior executives. the brand is not very very clear what an apprenticeship is and what it should stand for. the commons education committee offered 27 recommendations to government about how these should change. what would be on your list of things to change? i think number one would be
11:50 am
for the institute of apprenticeship and technical education to review all of the apprenticeship standards that exist and remove the ones that don't meet the standards by international comparisons. we need to benchmark ourselves against some of the best performing systems in the world and shift things in the uk so we can stand up and have world —class so we can stand up and have world—class apprenticeship provision. there is also an important point made within the paper around equality of access to apprenticeships. fortoo paper around equality of access to apprenticeships. for too many young people it is very difficult to get really good quality apprenticeships and particularly those from socially disadvantaged backgrounds. and particularly those from socially disadvantaged backgroundsm and particularly those from socially disadvantaged backgrounds. it is interesting to know what comes first, this appreciation or the understanding of what apprenticeships are all getting up to scratch. thank you very much. in other business news... shares in struggling fashion chain french connection have risen after it said it may be up for sale. following speculation at the weekend, it said it was "reviewing all strategic options", including the potential sale of the firm. sports direct and house of fraser owner mike ashley has

a quick look at the markets. a bit of volatility on the ftse100 because we are in october which is when we start getting forth good earnings and start to look at the economy and that could filter through to some nervousness from investors. they don't really like what we're seeing and there could be some big moves in next few days. 0il prices slightly down at still above $80 a barrel. we are talking about whether $100 a barrel is in sight and upend —— potentially it could be that which can effect the price of all sorts of things, not least the battle in your car. many thanks. the winner of the royal institute of british architects' most prestigious award, the riba stirling prize, will be announced next week. the nominations to become britain's best new building include
11:53 am
a student housing development, a cemetery, and a nursery school. we'll look at each building in the shortlist over the next few days, and today it's the turn of bushey cemetery in hertfordshire by waugh thistleton architects, which is formed of natural rammed earth walls and described as an extraordinary spiritual building with the beliefs and customs of the jewish faith at its heart. one of the fascinating and liberating things about building for the jewish community is that there isn't a typology, there is no religious typology in thejewish faith so there's no spires, there's no domes, no stained—glass windows. these buildings really are basic shelters. they are places for the community to gather. so, the form of the buildings, you know, they're quite orthogonal, they're quite linear, and the idea really behind
11:54 am
that is to make them very understandable, to make them so that, you know, when you're in a distressed state, when you're at a funeral, that actually you have a kind of intuitive understanding of how to pass through those buildings. the prayer hall floor is at a slight slope so there's a constant orientation to really guide that flow of people through and then up into the cemetery. the relationship between the landscape and the building is absolutely fundamental. when the prayer hall doors fly open, after you've said the prayers and you're moving out into the landscape, that framed view is incredibly important, and it gives you a kind of sense of tranquillity, the sense of being connected with nature at the time you really need to be. the prayer halls themselves are made from rammed earth. so this is an ancient technology, so we use soil from the site
11:55 am
compacted in form work. they're rammed down and made into these great blocks here so you can see the kind of, you know, the earth that's outside you and around you, that the body is buried in, is the same earth that the buildings are made from. for the jewish community attending at this building, i think it's a place of serenity. everything is pleasing to the eye and i hope and feel that it will bring comfort to the people who attend here. you can find out more about all of the nominated buildings on the bbc arts website and watch this year's riba stirling prize live here on the bbc news channel on wednesday evening between 8:30 and 9pm. we're just going to take a moment to look at some of the most you can find out more about all of the nominated buildings

scientists issue their strongest warning yet on climate change, saying society must undergo rapid and far—reaching change to meet targets. a un report says temperature rises should be limited to no more than 1.5 degrees celsius, just half the increase currently predicted. authorities in china say they're holding the worldwide head of interpol on suspicion of corruption and bribery. the acting commissioner of the met police tells an inquest into the westminster terror attacks that he was told to stay in his car as khalid masood murdered pc keith palmer because he had no protective equipment. 20 people die when a stretch limousine crashes in new york state. it's the deadliest us road accident in a decade. about forty percent of young adults cannot afford to buy one of the cheapest homes in their area even with a ten percent deposit, according to new research.
12:01 pm
and calls for tighter regulation of bouncy castles after the bbc learns more than 20 people have been thrown from inflatable play equipment in the uk since 2011. good morning, welcome to bbc newsroom live, i'm carole walker. scientists have given one of the starkest warnings yet about the changes needed to tackle climate change. the report by the intergovernmental panel on climate change says that limiting temperature rises to no more than 1.5 celsius will require massive changes to the way we live. it warns that without action, all the world's coral reefs will die out and low lying regions will disappear because of rising sea levels. 0ur science correspondent victoria gill reports. pictures of a warming world.
12:02 pm
scientists are more confident than ever that the impacts of climate change are playing out now in the severity and frequency of droughts, storms and other extreme weather events. and, having gathered in the south korean city of incheon for the past week, climate change researchers and government delegates hammered out the final details of a dramatic report, outlining the consequences of a global temperature rise of more than 1.5 degrees and a plan for precisely how that can be prevented. countries need to up their ambition and get moving now with climate change action if we're going to keep 1.5 degrees within reach. with no action, the world is on course to breach this crucial target by as early as 2030, compromising the very livability of our planet. melting polar ice means global sea level rise is projected to be around ten centimetres more if we allow warming to go to two degrees. keeping it to 1.5 means 10 million fewer people would be exposed
12:03 pm
to the risks of flooding. but this plan is ambitious and it will be expensive. renewable energy sources will need to provide about 85% of global electricity by 2050. currently they account for about 25%. even with a green energy revolution, this most comprehensive assessment of the perils of climate change concludes that every one of us will need to make changes in how we live our lives, changes that have to start now. earlier i spoke to the co—chair of the report professorjim skea. he started by telling me how the report came about. i would like to be clear that the genesis of this report came from the governments. three years ago in paris they made a commitment to try and work towards making global warming 1.5 degrees. they asked us
12:04 pm
at the ipcc to produce the report on the implications. that is what we have done. in terms of reducing the emissions, there is a clear message, we need to start working hard right from now if we are not going to see the options slip away. the bold number is we need to see carbon dioxide emissions reducing by 45% by 2030, compared to recent levels, if we are going to put ourselves on track. by the middle of the century we would need to ta ke middle of the century we would need to take as much carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere as we put in. these are dramatic changes that need the deployment of new technologies, new approaches and changes in behaviour. the messages indeed are very strong. you talk about the need to reduce carbon emissions by 45%. given, for example, president trump was my decision to pull out of the international climate change
12:05 pm
agreement, how great is the gulf between where the globe is heading at the moment and where it needs to be if it is to reduce the impact of climate change? the pledges that countries made after the paris agreement, people have added them up. if we carried on in that direction and even if we accelerated effo rts direction and even if we accelerated efforts beyond 2030 we would be on track for about three degrees warming over the 21st—century. 0bviously warming over the 21st—century. obviously to the extent that any of the pledges that countries made are we can not fulfilled, that takes you above even that three degrees kind of level. we have definitely established in the report that it is within the laws of physics and chemistry to keep global warming within1.5 degrees. the critical issueis within1.5 degrees. the critical issue is going to be the political will and the institutional aspects. the answer lies with the governments that are the audience for our report. they are meeting in poland
12:06 pm
at the end of the year to talk about the next steps and this report is the next steps and this report is the only named input into their discussions. that is why the m essa g es discussions. that is why the messages are so direct and strong. they really are a kind of warning to governments about what they need to do if the aspirations they set out at paris are going to be fulfilled. and we'll be discussing this report in more detail at 12:35. joining us will be professorjoanna haigh from the grantham institute for climate change and environment and professor chris fogwill from the keele institute for sustainable futures at keele university. you've been sending in your comments. dina asks how realistic is it for government to stop plastic production altogether? there are alternatives to almost every single plastic product now. diana texted to say: we would love to buy an electric car but can't afford it! just looked up a small electric car and the "on the road" price is £31,000.

12:08 pm
crackdown on corruption. it raises concerns of course. back at the time of meng hongwei's appointment in 2016 there were concerns raised that appointing a senior member of a police force in a one—party state would pose problems for an international body that was supposed to be free of political considerations. nobody expected in the end that it would be his disappearance that would underline those concerns in such dramatic fashion. the normal process for senior officials caught up in this anti—corruption campaign is a matter of months normally, sometimes more extended than that in party custody while the officials investigate, and then some form of announcement, a guilty verdict if you like in terms of the violation
12:09 pm
of party discipline. then that official is handed over to the judicial authorities. we do not know the detail, we do not know whether he is guilty or innocent, but that is the point in a one—party state, we simply do not know. sir craig mackey, who was acting commissioner of the metropolitan police at the time of the westminster attack in march 2017, has told a court how he witnessed pc keith palmer being fatally stabbed. sir craig sircraig and sir craig and his colleagues stayed in theircarduring the sir craig and his colleagues stayed in their car during the attack because they had no protective equipment, an inquest has heard. helena lee is at the old bailey for us. tell us a bit more about what you have been hearing. this is the first time we have heard from sir craig, a man who was the acting head

who seems to be hosing down speculation that theresa may is on cruise control to securing a deal next week because there has been a lot of optimistic noises emanating from brussels and indeed from dublin, suggesting a deal is within grasp. now number ten are saying in the past half an hour there are big issues which remain to be resolved. we need a precise agreement on what our future relationship is we need a precise agreement on what ourfuture relationship is going to be and apparently dominic raab is not scheduled to travel to brussels later this week to pursue the negotiations. i think what is going on is part of it is to play down expectations, but part of it is to make it seem as if theresa may is facing an almighty battle in brussels to get this deal, so that when she comes back to the commons at the 11th hour, having fought through the night to get this deal she can convince mps that it is not a complete sell—out to brussels. she has had to really battle to secure
12:21 pm
something for britain. it is what i think some people call rolling the pitch, trying to shake the narrative before the big day. i think the hope is that theresa may's team will give the idea that this is very tough and when theresa may manages to get the deal, it will look like much more of an achievement and thereby it is perhaps easier to sell to some of those mps still troubled by her proposals. dominic raab is saying that after brexit the uk could get involved in a specific trade deal. the good part is that the japanese prime minister is that the japanese prime minister is restating his desire to still have bitten as a key trading partner, suggesting britain could join the transpacific partnership which is all good and well. however, he says the uk has to leave the customs union. in other words, there
12:22 pm
will not be any deal unless we get out of the customs union and any sort of customs arrangement. that matters is because there is a lot of chitchat at westminster about whether we might stay in some sort of customs arrangement beyond the transition period. if that was the case, presumably shinzo abe abbey would say, let us know when you are out of those arrangements and we can talk about a trade deal. it cuts both ways. norman, many thanks. an investigation by the bbc‘s inside out programme in the east of england has discovered the deaths of two goals on bouncy castles and inflata bles goals on bouncy castles and inflatables were not isolated incidents. some grant from norwich died when a bouncy castle blew away in high winds in harlow and another child died in july in high winds in harlow and another child died injuly when an inflata ble child died injuly when an inflatable trampoline appeared to explode. now it has been revealed
12:23 pm
that 21 people across the uk have been hurt or seriously injured using similar play equipment since 2011. this is the day a bouncy castle ripped from its moorings and blew across a park killing seven—year—old summer grant. this was two years ago in essex. we have discovered it is not an isolated case. 21 people have been hurt or seriously injured since 2011 by castles that have hurled them into the air. another victim also called summer, had just come through cancer treatment. also called summer, had just come through cancer treatmentlj also called summer, had just come through cancer treatment. i was at this gallant thing and i asked if i could go on the bouncy castle with my friend and i went on it and i was halfway up the stairs and my friend was coming down the slide and it blew up and she just got off it and i was blew up and she just got off it and iwas up blew up and she just got off it and i was up in the air. she suffered head injuries and a broken thigh
12:24 pm
bone. her parents carol and chris fielder castle should never have been put up in the first place. they should not have had it up and running if they had not done the checks with the wind and the regulations. if the wind is at a certain speed they have to take it down. clive ellis is an inspector for a scheme set up by the inflata ble for a scheme set up by the inflatable industry to ensure standards are met. he demonstrated what happens when a bouncy castle is used in high winds. from the front, even though it was way over 24 miles an hour, i was surprised how easily it lifted. we stop our experiment under 40 miles an hour, and that they summer grant died it had reached over 60 miles an hour. the safety report concluded that inflata ble safety report concluded that inflatable was blown across the park because wind speeds were in excess
12:25 pm
of the maximum, but no one was prosecuted and in carol and chris's view they are not being rigorous enough. accidents will happen, we understand that. but accidents when inflata bles fly understand that. but accidents when inflatables fly away should never happen. the hse could not tell the bbc the number of spot checks it has carried out but it says it customarily turns up to theme parks and fairgrounds and announce. as for summer, she made a full recovery but will not be going near a bouncy castle ever again. i never want to go on bouncy slide again because i don't like them any more. viewers in the east of england can see more on that story on insight 0ut tonight at 7:30pm on bbc one and viewers will be able to watch the programme shortly afterwards on the bbc iplayer. the far—right candidate, jair bolsonaro, has won the most votes in the first round of the presidential
12:26 pm
elections in brazil. with virtually all the votes counted, mr bolsonaro has 46%. it's a stunning result for the former army officer who's promised to tackle crime and corruption. in the second round run—off, he will face the candidate of the left—wing workers' party, fernando haddad who polled 29%. that vote will take place in three weeks. katy watson reports. in these, the most uncertain elections in decades, brazilians queued up to cast their vote. jair bolsonaro was so confident he was going to claim victory in the first round, he told his supporters they would not need to turn up for the second round, everyone could go to the beach instead. but he will have to delay his trip to the seaside. the second round is expected to be tight. in three weeks' time, he will face rival fernando haddad. as he arrived at the polling station, his opponents bangs their pots and pans in protest. while party faithful
12:27 pm
sang their support. mr haddad warned of the dangers that brazil faces. translation: brazil is running a big and unnecessary risk of throwing away the best 30 years of democracy. this country, though, remained deeply divided. on one side, there are millions desperately worried about a far right politician like bolsonaro ruling this young democracy. but, for millions of others, it is a risk they are prepared to take to make sure the workers' party never rules again. speak to people here and you get a real sense ofjust how angry brazilians are, the desire for change and something different. even if that means an untested candidate, and unpredictable candidate, many people are willing to give it a go. he is a nationalist and he is trying to implement here in brazil kind of the same thing as donald trump is doing in the us. he is fighting against the deep state. against
12:28 pm
political correctness. he is also a candidate who divides, who has made sexist comments, racist comments, and there is a concern perhaps he is not going to rule for every brazilian. i don't think so about him being xenophobic, a sexist. it's all about feelings, right? the facts don't care about feelings. and he is a man. prove me that he is being xenophobic and racist. everything that has been said about him being a racist is fake news. despite all the criticism of widespread corruption and economic mismanagement, for many the workers' party is still widely loved, especially in poorer parts of the country. translation: they did a lot for brazil. i have travelled all over this country and i have seen the poverty that existed before. on sunday night, both candidates celebrated their first round win but they will spend the next few weeks intensifying their campaign, trying to win over millions of brazilians who are extremely concerned about
12:29 pm
the country's future. katy watson, bbc news, in sao paulo. dame barbara windsor has appeared on video to speak publicly about dementia, for the first time since she was diagnosed. the former carry on and eastenders' star, who's 81, called on people to run next year's london marathon in aid of a campaign to raise funds for more research into the condition. speaking from her home, she said she wanted to make a stand against dementia. i'm asking you to make a stand against dementia. use your place to run for the dementia revolution, for alzheimer's society and alzheimer's research uk. support ground—breaking research to find a cure for a condition that affects so many people like me. now it's time for a look at the weather. it certainly has been beautiful and
12:30 pm
many of us are in for some fine weather over the coming days, but it is not beautiful everywhere. there is not beautiful everywhere. there is rain around and there is wind in the north west of the country. but i will emphasise the positive aspects because in the coming days it will turn warm widely across the uk. this is the rain across scotland and northern ireland and it is windy here as well. that rain will continue through the night. the winds are coming in from a one direction, they are south—westerly out of the south, so temperatures will be around double figures overnight. a stunning day under way tomorrow and it is expected to brighten up across northern ireland. but in western parts of scotland it will be windy with some rain. and we are talking about an indian summer. hello, this is bbc news. the headlines... environmental experts are warning of catastrophic consequences unless urgent action is taken internationally to limit global warming.
12:31 pm
the intergovernmental panel on climate change says governments must phase out coal and individuals need to embrace changes such as eating less meat and driving electric cars. china has confirmed that the chinese former head of interpol is being investigated for taking bribes. meng hongwei vanished after returning to his homeland from france two weeks ago. the acting commissioner of the met police tells an inquest into the westminster terror attacks that he was told to stay in his car as khalid masood murdered pc keith palmer because he had no protective equipment. 20 people have been killed in a crash involving a stretched limousine taking people to a party in the us state of new york. two pedestrians were among the dead. 40% of young people in the uk are unable to buy even the cheapest
12:32 pm
homes in their area with a with 10% deposit, according to new research. there are calls for tighter regulation of bouncy castles after the bbc discovers more than 20 people in the uk have been thrown from inflatable play equipment in high winds since 2011. back to our top story here on bbc newsroom live and a new united nations climate report being published at a meeting in south korea says there will have to be "unprecedented changes" to how people use energy in order to restrict rising temperatures. the intergovernmental panel on climate change is calling for the rise in the earth's temperature since the industrial age to be limited to 1.5 celsius. with me is professorjoanna haigh, who is co—director of the grantham institute for climate change and environment at imperial college london.
12:33 pm
and also i'm joined by professor chris fogwill, who's the director of the keele institute for sustainable futures at keele university. ifi if i can start with you. what this expert panel is saying is that all of us in countries around the world really don't need —— do need to start taking dramatic action now. yes, it really outlines what is at sta ke yes, it really outlines what is at stake if we fail to limit the warming to1.5 stake if we fail to limit the warming to 1.5 degrees. and that is a much bigger reduction than we are currently meant to hit? yes, we are looking at projections this year we have achieved one 1 degrees above industrial level foot is quite
12:34 pm
remarkable given previous efforts. professor, the language is obviously specifically designed to send out a really serious message about the potential consequences of this. really serious message about the potential consequences of thislj think we have known for a long time that global warming is due to human made carbon dioxide that the impact of what will happen and what will happen in the future in all sorts of aspects of our lives, and we need to do something about it and how to do it, that is now set out very clearly in this report. let me bring in some of the questions we have had from some viewers who have been messaging us some viewers who have been messaging us this morning. 0ne says, why are we not utilising wave power in the uk come with some of the highest tidal ranges in the world, rivers like the mersey and the seven river could provide excellent tidal barrage is for the provision of electricity. this is a really good point. to answer the question
12:35 pm
specifically, we are one of the world leaders in some of this technology. what we need is investment to drive this kind of technology forward. if we really do wa nt to technology forward. if we really do want to achieve these kinds of ambitious aims, we had to start now. next year and the year after will be too late so we need policy to shift too late so we need policy to shift to really invest in that kind of technology. and there is real potential there? certainly. technology. and there is real potentialthere? certainly. this technology. and there is real potential there? certainly. this has to be seen as a starting point, that kind of investment in technology. there are so many multifaceted elements to reducing c02. the report really does go into some detail and suggests that there are real ways in which we can achieve this. it provides several different models to go forward to achieve these ambitious goals. all of them would ta ke ambitious goals. all of them would take substantive societal change. this is the underlying thing in the
12:36 pm
report, the underlying message if you like, that we have the change from the bottom up. professor, another point raised by one of those who got in touch, caroline asks what do you think should be done about the animal agriculture industry? it has the largest carbon footprint of any man—made activity and why isn't it being tackled ? any man—made activity and why isn't it being tackled? it is true that agriculture from land use activities contribute about a quarter of the current c02 emissions so if we could do something about it it would help. and if everybody ate less meat, that would help to reduce our c02 emissions. animal agriculture as a big impact. it is a big change in the way we approach our food, looking at choosing plant —based products and more local bond —based products? exactly, we want to use plant —based products for food and also for energy provision as well.
12:37 pm
and using more trees, planting more plants, to suck out the c02 from the atmosphere is very important. and another question from one of our viewers. am i correct in thinking that china is still building coal—fired power stations and, if so, anything the west does will have a limited effect? it is an interesting question and we have to put it in context. 0bviously china has the biggest population of any country on earth and it has energy needs and developing energy needs. they are addressing this question perhaps more proactively than any other nation on earth. i think we have to say that yes, it is a growing nation, it does have a substantive reliance on coal—fired technology but they are proactively chasing alternatives. and that clearly goes back to this idea that there needs to be a much greater
12:38 pm
priority given to this issue by governments and populations around the world. joanna, another viewer has got in touch asking a simple question. we would be happy to make as many changes as possible to our lifestyle but what we want to know is what should we be doing? we have talked about switching to a greater reliance on a vegetarian diet but what else? that is one thing and another thing is using less energy. if you can switch off the lights, turn down the heating, put another jumperon, turn down the heating, put another jumper on, switch your energy provider to a green supplier, less c02 based. we can do all sorts of things and using less energy which will make a big difference. and just going back to you on the wider point about china, but clearly many of the experts behind the report feel the big problem here is that it is simply not being given sufficiently high priority by the big
12:39 pm
international powers. when you have president trump sceptical about the entire agenda, walking out of that international conference, clearly that makes it much more difficult to get international action. indeed. it is very difficult. but there are opportunities to take a lead here andi opportunities to take a lead here and i think, is a developed country with a very interesting energy mix, the uk could really take a lead here if it chose to. we had the sustainable energy growth plans that came out last october. we have ambitions in this area to become a world leader in terms of reducing our impact in terms of energy but we have to think about it as a wider peace. how can we live in an environment that is low—carbon, how can we really do bring that into being part of the economy, both nationally and globally? somebody has to take the lead and i think it
12:40 pm
isa has to take the lead and i think it is a real call to arms in this piece. and we have heard a lot about how, for example, climate change will mean that places like the maldives are at greater risk of flooding, high water levels are likely to displace large numbers of people but it is going to have an impact here in the uk. do you think the british governor is putting sufficiently high priority on tackling climate change —— british government. the uk lead the world in the setting up the climate change act which is delivering five—year legally binding target and so far we're doing 0k legally binding target and so far we're doing ok but the emphasis seems to be shifting away from the planned trajectory and the government has put more effort and energy into innovation and investment in we meet it. thank you very much forjoining us. the scottish national party leader, nicola sturgeon, has
12:41 pm
said her party's 35 mps would vote in favour of another eu referendum if given the opportunity to do so at westminster. the snp party conference is currently taking place in glasgow, from where ms sturgeon spoke to us earlier this morning. she explained why mps in her party would back a so—called ‘people's vote'. as we fear ever closer to march next year, the cliff edge, there is still no detail at all about what the future relationship might be and there may not be any detail about there may not be any detail about the future relationship at the point of exit. i think if there is a proposal to give the people another state, that is something the snp mps would back. that said, it will not necessarily resolve the issues scotla nd necessarily resolve the issues scotland faced in 2016 where we voted to remain, the rest of the uk voted to remain, the rest of the uk voted to remain, the rest of the uk voted to leave and we face exit anyway. if there is another
12:42 pm
opportunity to reaffirm our desire to stay in the eu, i think we would ta ke to stay in the eu, i think we would take it. well, a little earlier i spoke to our political correspondent nick eardley, who's in glasgow. he told me why nicola sturgeon is making these comments, now. the snp have been grappling for months now about how to try to make their influence felt on the brexit process, but also how to try to stop it, quite frankly. nicola sturgeon had tried to call another independence referendum shortly after the brexit process began. that didn't go according to plan for her and has been put on the back burner and has been put on the back burner and it remains there because she is not ina and it remains there because she is not in a position yet where she has the confidence that she would win, nor has the backdrop where she thinks she could make an argument for independence. and that is why she is lending support to that idea of another vote on staying in
12:43 pm
potentially the european union. she knows and she said it this morning that it knows and she said it this morning thatitis knows and she said it this morning that it is far from perfect and she made the point that scotland voted remain last time and that did not stop the uk as a whole voting to leave but it is part of an arsenal that the snp are trying to build up to give themselves options about what to do over the next few months but it is all in the consciousness that they don't control this process. the vote across the rest of the uk will probably be considerably more important than the one in scotland. about 40% of young adults cannot afford to buy one of the cheapest homes in their area even with a 10% deposit, according to a new research. the institute of fiscal studies said house prices in england have risen by 173% over two decades, but average pay for 25—34—year—olds has grown by just 19% over the same period. joining me now isjonathan cribb, senior research economist
12:44 pm
at the institute for fiscal studies, an independent research institute on the public finances who published the research. thank you forjoining us. those figures really set out quite how starkly house prices have been galloping ahead where wages, particularly for younger people, are not coming near to keeping up. absolutely. we always knew it was getting harderfor young absolutely. we always knew it was getting harder for young adults to save for a deposit and put our money on their home but what we had not realised is that the higher house prices mean that more and more young adults cannot borrow enough to get onto the housing ladder, even if they are looking for the cheapest property in their area. and clearly london and the south—east, we keep hearing about, one of the most expensive areas, but it is a problem in many other parts of the country
12:45 pm
as well. it is, house prices over the last two decades have grown across the country faster than incomes. it is these barriers to home ownership in terms of saving for a deposit and borrowing for a mortgage, it got hard across the country. although it is much more difficult in the south—east and london. we have had that successive governments talking about the need to tackle this housing crisis, introducing all kinds of new targets for house—building, introducing schemes like help to buy also have any of them made much difference to the problem? it is hard to know on the problem? it is hard to know on the house—building and the supply issue. that is the key. the key thing is we have these big restrictions on house—building, planning restrictions such as the green belt, that prevent the development of land and prevent new homes from being built and we have a system in which the part of the country that is the most economically productive and the
12:46 pm
wealthiest, the south—east corner, thatis wealthiest, the south—east corner, that is the place with the strongest planning restrictions and that leads to these real difficulties that are particularly in that geographical area. the latest initiative we heard from the prime minister last week is this idea that councils can borrow more to build more homes. will that make a difference? it depends exactly what kind of homes they build, where they are built and whether they are poor social rent or affordable housing, or for other types of housing. ultimately, greater development of land, whether it is for different types of housing, is probably go to help a little bit but it is unclear if that particular policy is enough to be anywhere close to a solution to a racing home ownership levels for young adults. what you are saying is lift this idea of protecting the green belt, which many people care about is quite deeply, and allow developers to build where they want? i'm not proposing removing the green
12:47 pm
belt, four example. there are good reasons to have some restrictions on where you can build to prevent overdevelopment. we want public parks and things like that. but for a government that cares about this, making it easier to build homes in areas that they want to live, such as around cities, would help bring down house prices relative to incomes, make it easierfor young people to get on the property ladder, and increase home and briefly, will it be even harder for the next generation that will probably find themselves having to pay off large amounts of debt from going to university, at the same time as they might be thinking about trying to put money aside for saving for a home. partly it depends on the geography. 0utside london and the
12:48 pm
south—east, house prices have not risen in about ten years or so. although it has gotten harder for people outside london and the south—east, it is not getting increasingly harder but you are right that there are other issues about pay and student loans, for example. where it make it worse is in the richer parts of the country where prices have continued to rise since the financial crisis and that isa since the financial crisis and that is a very different picture. thank you very much forjoining us. the authorities in china have said they're holding the worldwide head of interpol on suspicion of corruption and bribery. interpol says it's received the resignation of meng hongwei who hadn't been seen since leaving lyon in france for china two weeks ago. earlier i spoke to howard zhang from bbc news chinese. the beijing statement also said, because of his wilfulness and his
12:49 pm
alleged unlawful activities, they did not specify what type of bribery case and what type of corruption and unlawfulness. for government to arrest the head of an international body has never happened before. also for the wife to declare him and go to the french police to announce his disappearance, to file for a missing person case in lyon, that is also quite difficult for people to believe. it is an extraordinary development and what do we know about meng hongwei? clearly he had this high profile role as head of interpol. before he left for the job at interpol he was the vice minister of public security and quite high profile in china. he was believed to be one of the close associates of a former disgraced chinese security tsar, who got brought down for
12:50 pm
corruption charges in 2013. but meng hongwei had been critical of the chinese regime. if it thought that there could be political motivation behind this? political motivation is a lwa ys behind this? political motivation is always a suspicion because most critics will point out that most of the arrests and corruption charges just so happen to be political opponents of the current president. at the same time, it is to be reminded that meng hongwei himself was also the head of a major police action worldwide to arrest overseas alleged corrupt officials. in a way, he is himself very much part of the regime himself. a madrid court has said an 85 year old doctor accused of stealing and selling a baby during the dictatorship of general franco is guilty.
12:51 pm
but the judge then dropped the charges because of the spanish law limiting the length of time a case can be brought after a crime has been committed. from outside the court, our correspondent lucy williamson gave this update. it was quite difficult to assess the mood here this morning. there were lots of mothers him who said they believed their own children had been stolen from them as newborns by medical staff or members of the catholic church. they said they were very happy that the court in spain had finally convicted someone of crimes like this but there was also a twist. the court decided that the statute of limitations on these crimes had expired, expired when the victim, ines madrigal, turned 18, billyjoel age of majority and ten yea rs billyjoel age of majority and ten years after —— the legal age. it was far too late to send doctor vela to
12:52 pm
jail, and so he will walk free, absolved of the crimes the court said he committed. the prosecution is now deciding whether to appeal the verdict but nevertheless, many worried it could have consequences for anyone else who wants to bring these kinds of cases. the world's largest fish market and one of tokyo's most popular tourist sites, has held its last tuna auctions before closing after 83 years. the market is set to relocate, to make way for a road needed for the 2020 olympics. rupert wingfield hayes reports from tokyo. for nearly 90 years, tsukiji has been the world's largest fish market. it is famous around the world for its daily 4am tuna auctions where they sell off those enormous pacific bluefin tuna, sometimes for hundreds of thousands of dollars each. it has also become incredibly popular, a cultural icon, a must stop for any tourist
12:53 pm
visit to japan. but if you haven't been to tsukiji by today, well, you're too late, because by the time you see this report, this will all be closed. there has been a years—long battle between the traders and preservationists who wanted to keep the market here, and the city government and developers who want to knock all this down and turn it into high—rise buildings, offices and apartment blocks. in the end, they have won. to be honest with you, this place has been getting pretty old and decrepit and dirty. there is many times i have come down here and seen large rats running around between the fish stalls. and so, next week, this place will move to a new state—of—the—art facility out on tokyo bay. it will be much cleaner, much more hygienic, but you won't be able to wander around between the stalls like you can here. the tsukiji experience will be gone for ever. ben brown will be shortly with the
12:54 pm
news but first it is a good week, let's get the details on the weather. just when you thought summer was over. it is warming up over the coming days. you can call it an indian summer, a few days of very warm weather potentially and by mid week we could have highs around the mid 20s in southern parts of the uk. at the moment a lot of cloud, particularly in the north—west, not so great here with heavy rain and it could turn heavier through the day. and the next couple of days will have a lot of rain in western scotla nd have a lot of rain in western scotland and parts of northern ireland. tonight, the rain keeps falling in the northwest so the western isles getting a real soaking. parts of northern ireland as well but to the south, some cloud, and on the south coast it is dry and mild with a mild south—westerly wind with
12:55 pm
temperatures in double figures. tomorrow it keeps raining in western scotland. it will fizzle out in northern ireland and the sun should come out eventually. the winds swinging to a south south—westerly so temperatures rising with 20 degrees in london, 18 in belfast. still chilly in the far north. getting warmer as we go into wednesday. the wind is pretty much coming out of africa, across the mediterranean and into the uk and that can only mean one thing for us, the warmth wafting in and the winds pushing that weather front back out to sea. we have not seen as oranges for a while. the best will be about 24 degrees but in the 20s in yorkshire and even about 20 in scotland. on thursday summer things start to change. we have weather fronts coming off the atlantic and
12:56 pm
the weather goes downhill in western areas, anticipating some rain. and by the time we get to friday, we are keeping a close eye on the atlantic, it looks like things will be turning more stormy, and this nasty low— pressure more stormy, and this nasty low—pressure could sweep in, bringing a spell of very strong winds, potentially disruptive winds so therein and that by the end of the week it could turn a little stormy. a planet in peril: scientists issue their starkest warning yet about the dangers of climate change. in a dramatic report, they say the world is on course to miss its target for keeping down global temperatures. countries need to up their ambition and get moving now with climate change action, if we're going to keep 1.5 degrees within reach. we'll have the latest from our science editor in south korea, where the un report's been published. also this lunchtime... four sisters are feared dead after a limousine crash in america that's killed 20 people.
