the world's top scientists say dramatic action is needed now to save the world from climate catastrophe. rising global temperatures spell disaster for our planet they say unless quick action is taken by governments and individuals. if action is not taken, it will take the planet into an unprecedented climate future if we compare it to what has happened during all of human evolutionary history. what has happened during all of human evolutionary history. we'll be looking at the small steps individuals can take that could make a huge difference to the planet. also tonight: the 42—year—old mother of eight thought to have died after suffering a severe allergic reaction to a pret a manger sandwich. we miss her greatly. and we just want answers into how she died after eating lunch with her family. jaguar land rover says it will cease production for two weeks this month after demand for its vehicles slumped. the struggle to get on the property ladder — almost half of england's young adults can't afford to buy one of the cheapest homes in their area.

and the changing face of the royal ballet — we report on the drive to make it more diverse. and coming up on sportsday later in the hour on bbc news: how conor mcgregors ufc return turned ugly, which poses questions over the very future of the sport. good evening and welcome to the bbc news at six. the world's top climate scientists say dramatic changes need to be made quickly to our lifestyles to avoid catastrophic climate change in the future. they say we should give up meat, throw less away, drive electric cars, walk more, fly less. and governments must make major policy changes now to reduce the impact of rising global temperatures. just 1.5 degrees of warming

by the end of the century will mean rapid and unprecedented changes to all aspects of society. two degrees warmer will mean millions of people losing their homes because of flooding as sea levels rise. but the intergovernmental panel on climate change says right now the world is currently on track for much worse, a rise of three degrees rather than one, five degrees from pre—industrial levels by the end of the century. our science editor david shukman is in south korea where the report was revealed. the warming of the earth is heading for levels that modern humans have never experienced. that's the unnerving implication of this latest report. it says the rise of the oceans could accelerate, even with what sounds like a small increase in temperature. heatwaves are set to become more intense, sooner than expected. and forest fires, combined with more warming, will have a profound impact on wildlife. when the report was unveiled

at a press conference here in south korea, it came with a startling conclusion. if action is not taken, it will take the planet into an unprecedented climate future, if we compare it to what has happened during all of human evolutionary history. the report says massive cuts are needed in the gases warming the atmosphere. that means turning away from fossil fuels like oil because, when they're burned, they give off carbon dioxide. vast new forests must also be planted to soak up the gas to have any chance of keeping global warming to a safe level. the report has sent a very clear message that if we don't act now and have substantial reductions in carbon dioxide emissions over the next decade, we are really making it very challenging to impossible to keep warming below 1.5 degrees. the report spells out that greenhouse gases must fall by 45% by 2030,

just over a decade away. it says that up until 2035 it would cost 2.5% of global gdp — that's the total value of goods and services around the world. not cheap, but the scientists say it will help. and renewable energy, they say, must produce 85% of our electricity by 2050. the obvious question that arises from the radical suggestions in this report is, is any of this remotely feasible? so many countries depend on coal, the dirtiest of the fossil fuels, and have plans to use more of it. and the vast majority of vehicles on the roads use petrol and diesel. 0n the other hand, there are some significant developments under way. the cost of renewable energy, like solar and wind, is falling, making it much more viable. and electric cars are set to become more mainstream, as the major new factories

invest in them. but, however this plays out, making a change on this scale is going to be a huge challenge. the key decisions on this now pass to the countries that are the biggest polluters, like china and the united states. but the report also says that people going about their everyday lives have a say as well. we can all make choices about the energy we choose to consume. so we can make a move, through our choices of energy consumption to renewable energy, to provide the market for renewable energy. in terms of land, a lot of the land we use produces food. so we can make choices, dietary choices, about what we choose to eat. around the conference centre, new skyscrapers and highways crawling with traffic. all this relies on fossil fuels. and, like many development around the world, it will be incredibly hard to change. the scientists here have mapped out a way of minimising global warming. we'll now see what everyone makes of it.

david shukman, bbc news, in south korea. so what can individuals do to help fight climate change? 0ur science correspondent, victoria gill, has been looking at the small changes that could make a big difference. as alarming as the message about climate change is, modern life keeps moving. so, in the midst of an issue that is truly global, how can any one of us make choices to help the now urgent fight against climate change? one way, scientists point out, is to think more about how much carbon dioxide, the most prevalent greenhouse gas in our atmosphere, is emitted by the production of the food we eat. and that's something these shoppers are adding to their list of concerns. i think it's really important to try and reduce the amount of air miles and that sort of thing that our food is travelling. because it's not really doing anyone any good, is it, by using unnecessary fuel to buy food ? we check the label, and so often the film isn't recyclable. so that's something that is a concern, and i think

could be massively improved. i think we need to completely cut down, totally. i bought chicken for my husband, here, but red meat is a no—no. it's a total no—no? you've cut that out completely? cut that out completely. and why is that, is it health, environment? health, basically. but that health conscious decision chimes exactly with the environmental impact of meat and dairy, versus vegetables. while animal products provide just 18% of our calories, they take up more than 80% of globalfarmland. and their production emits significantly more greenhouse gas. and then there's transport. while some people might be investing in an electric car, there are much cheaper decisions that every one of us can make every single day about how we move around. according to the world health organization, one passenger making a journey of a kilometre by car emits an average of 129 grams of carbon. a passenger travelling a kilometre

by bus is equivalent to just over 101 grams. a kilometre by bike emits no carbon at all. where possible, scientists say we should use an electricity supply from renewable energy sources, and as some businesses race to become carbon neutral, that's become a priority. we have a huge role to play in encouraging our suppliers to provide renewable green energy. we can also do that through on—site generation through solar panels and wind turbines, and also through what we sell our customers, such as low energy consuming goods and services. what is now apparent is that the time we all have to make a positive difference is rapidly running out. victoria gill, bbc news. a 42—year—old mother of 8 has been named as the second person who died from a suspected allergic reaction after eating a sandwich bought from pret a manger. celia marsh from wiltshire collapsed in december. pret a manger says it was mis—sold yoghurt which was supposedly dairy—free by a third party. but the supplier

strenuously denies that. duncan kennedy reports. this was celia marsh with her husband andy on their wedding day. it isa husband andy on their wedding day. it is a series of photos released tonight by her family. celia, it is a series of photos released tonight by herfamily. celia, in the middle at the back, was 42 and a mother to eight children. tonight a legal representative released this statement on behalf of the family. she was a much loved mother, daughter, sister and wife. we miss her greatly and we just want answers into how she died after eating lunch with her family. this was the type of sandwich celia marsh eight and seemingly had an allergic reaction to. she bought it at this prat or she shop in bath last year and died later that afternoon. the company said it was one of its suppliers, a

company called coyo, that mis—sold them the yoghurt used in that sandwich. it says it believed the yoghurt was dairy free. it says it is now taking legal action against coyo. but the night coyo have told the bbc they have done nothing wrong. firstly, i would like the bbc they have done nothing wrong. firstly, iwould like to the bbc they have done nothing wrong. firstly, i would like to say oui’ wrong. firstly, i would like to say our sincerest condolences to the family. secondly, the allegations made by brett orgy are unfounded and highly misleading. this second death comes highly misleading. this second death co m es after highly misleading. this second death comes after the death of another girl who died after eating a ba g u ette girl who died after eating a baguette that she bought at heathrow airport. after her inquest natasha's family welcomed the decision to change the labelling on its food. celia marsh's funeral took place in january. a spokesman for the coroner said it was still waiting for the results of pathology tests. duncan

kennedy, bbc news. duncan kennedy, bbc news. britain's biggest car—maker, jaguar land rover, says it's closing its factory in solihull for two weeks at the end of this month in response to weakening global demand. sima kotecha is outside the plant. will it affect jobs? not at the moment. the plan behind me will close for two weeks as of the 22nd of october. this comes after a fall in sales of its diesel vehicles, not just here after a fall in sales of its diesel vehicles, notjust here in the uk or across the eu, but in leading markets like china. last month alone sales in china dropped by 46%, making a huge dent in the company's sales overall. in a statement today, jla sales overall. in a statement today, j la has said it is focused on achieving operational efficiencies and will align supplied to reflect fluctuating demand globally as required. it says customer orders will not be impacted and those

people who were working here during those two weeks will still be paid. weeks will still be paid. scotland's first minister nicola sturgeon says the scottish national party will vote down any brexit deal that would see the uk leave the eu single market and the customs union. at her party's conference in glasgow, she also said that her 35 mps would back a so—called people's vote, a second referendum on eu membership. here's our scotland editor, sarah smith. anyone here hoping to learn when there might be another independence referendum, has come to the wrong place, but there is another vote on offer, the snp will support a second referendum on brexit. i don't think it would be right for us to stand in the way of people elsewhere in the uk getting the chance to change their minds, and it would also i think, be odd fast to not grasp be odd for us to not grasp an opportunity for scotland to reaffirm its vote to remain in the eu. you have got no guarantees you will have the same outcome

that you did in 2016, scotland votes to remain, but it is outnumbered by the vote of the rest of the uk, what could you do about that? i think in fact, it doesn't necessarily solve the problem that scotland finds itself in. yes, we can look at options that might protect scotland's position, but fundamentally, the only real protection for scotland against having decisions imposed on us against our will is the scotland to become independent. the snp and the education secretary have a more immediate problem. the school test he has introduced a five—year—olds were voted down by the scottish parliament last month. these parties have no right to play politics with the education of children and young people in scotland. but will that parliamentary defeat change the policy? we will come forward with a proper consideration, of parliament's views, but what we consider necessary to continue that progress in education. but it would be easier for you now to say that you will set out the details later but you agree with the scottish parliament to hold primary1 testing, because that's what they voted for,

and you think that parliamentary votes should be upheld. look, i will, we will reflect the parliamentary vote, we will reflect on the parliamentary vote, but we are considering how best to move forward. so you are considering defying the parliament? you can carry on with this as long as you like, i am not into say any more than i have. i believe very strongly that it is wrong to allow children to get to perhaps primary 4, primary 7, before we have an understanding that they are falling behind and need extra help. this poses something of a dilemma for the snp. they insist the will of the scottish parliament should be respected when it votes for an independence referendum, so it's hard to ignore it when they vote against one of their key policies, and education is the main priority for the snp. at conference, they cared deeply about the bush independence, about the push for independence, voters care about what happened in scottish schools. sarah smith, bbc news, glasgow. the time is 6:15.

our top story this evening... the world's top scientists say dramatic action is needed now to save the world from climate catastrophe. and still to come, the moves the royal ballet is making to challenge the art's elitist stereotype. coming up on sportsday in the next 15 minutes on bbc news: kane leads the premier league charge as the shortlist for the ballon d'0r is revealed. it's hard to get on the housing ladder — and young adults in england who are saving for a house deposit are struggling more than ever before. the institute for fiscal studies says 40% of young adults cannot afford to buy one of the cheapest homes in their local area. the latest figures show that just over a third of 25—34 year olds are homeowners. that's down from more than half two decades ago. the biggest falls have been among those on middle—incomes. 0ur consumer affairs correspondent colletta smith reports from york.

be careful with it. well done, darling. these two colleagues have been friends for years. they are the same age and they even have the same name. 0k, have you got nice clean hands? but for becky and rebecca, things have panned out differently when it comes to buying a house. i've a homeowner the two years now. i've been renting for eight years. i've been saving up since i was 15. it feels like because we have both lived here for a long time and we love it here, and i feel i know that i can't stay living here, when i move house next, i will not be moving within the same area that i am in now. i am going to have to move at least five miles, maybe up to ten miles outside of the city to get an affordable home that suits my needs. i'm not asking fora mansion, i'm asking for a suitable family home. 0ur parents probably bought houses for a few thousand pounds. significantly different percentages of their income to now. where as now it's thousands.

the amount of money we need to save for a deposit is what they probably paid for their first homes. lots of people under 35 will understand that feeling. peter runs an estate agent's over the road. i can't remember the last time i saw someone in their 20s who was out there looking to go buy a house. it's couples and they are older people buying together, a lot more. sometimes they are even friends buying together to try and make a mortgage more affordable, but it's a rarity. affording a home is a problem for young people across the country, notjust here in york. but the government say the situation is improving. they say that last year, more first—time buyers were able to get hold of a home than at any point over the past decade. but the organisation behind today's report said there is more the government can do. there are no easy solutions, but for a government that really cares about increasing our home ownership, the key is to increase the supply of homes and the

responsiveness of construction to demand. the government needs to facilitate more house—building in places and areas where people want to live. although the pictures are looking different for becky and rebecca's futures, they are both sick of being made feel like their generation is to blame. we are not being lazy. we are not expecting something for nothing. an inquest has heard that the acting commissioner of the metropolitan police stayed in his car as an unarmed officer was stabbed during the westminster attack because he had no protective equipment. sir craig mackey was leaving the houses of parliament when he witnessed the murder of pc keith palmer. khalid massood drove a van at pedestrians before killing him. 0ur correspondent daniel sandford, is at the old bailey. he told the inquest that he had been

ata he told the inquest that he had been at a meeting with the policing minister and was leaving by chance at the moment when callard massoud's rented 4x4 smashed into the fence around the houses of parliamentjust after running down pedestrians on westerners to bridge. his official car was then just about to leave the grounds of the houses of parliament when he saw callard massoud coming through the gates, bearing a large carving knife and stab in one of his pcs, keith palmer, right in front of him. sircraig pcs, keith palmer, right in front of him. sir craig described seeing pc palmerfalling down, him. sir craig described seeing pc palmer falling down, and him. sir craig described seeing pc palmerfalling down, and getting up, walking past his official car. by that time, the car doors had been rocked by an assistant, there was no protective equipment, no radio, sir craig was in there with two civilians. then the attacker walked directly past his official car, and sir craig described hearing the protection officer shooting khalid

masood dad. at that point, sir craig thought about getting out of the car, but a constable told him to shut the door and leave. sir craig was then driven out of the houses of parliament and went on to coordinate the response to the attack, the bloody end of which he had just witnessed. officials in beijing have confirmed that the missing chinese head of interpol is being held in china on allegations of bribe—taking. meng hongwei disappeared last week after travelling from interpol headquarters in france, to china. here's the latest high—profile target to be ensnared in the sweeping anti—corruption campaign. four sisters are among 20 people who died in a limousine crash in upstate new york on saturday. they were celebrating the youngest sister, amy's birthday when the driver lost control of the vehicle, killing all those travelling inside as well as two pedestrians. officials say it is the worst us transport tragedy in nearly a decade. in the first case of its kind, an 85—year—old retired doctor

in spain has been found guilty of taking a newborn baby nearly 50 years ago and having her illegally adopted under a policy targeted at political dissidents, the poor, and unmarried mothers during general franco's dictatorship. the case was brought by a 49—year—old woman who'd been taken from her mother. but the court allowed the former doctor to walk free saying too much time had elapsed. lucy williamson reports from madrid. sometimes history is told through a single face, a single trial. the story of ines madrigal was recognised by spain for the first time today, a glimpse into the country's difficult past. dr eduardo vela was found to have stolen the newborn ines from her mother 49 years ago, faking her birth certificate and giving her to another couple as a gift. but, despite committing the crimes, dr vela walked free today,

pending the prosecution's appeal, because the court decided it was too late under the law to convict him. translation: i don't mind that he's not going to jail, that's not the most important thing. it will be very difficult for him to leave his house, because everyone will recognise him. everyone will know what he did. so, for me, he's been condemned anyway. the trial of dr vela has broken decades of silence on what campaigners say is a dark part of spain's history. they say there are tens of thousands of children like ines who were stolen from their mothers straight after birth by medical staff, all members of the catholic church. —— by medical staff, or members of the catholic church. but the court's verdict today may mean that none of those who are guilty ever go to jail. campaigners believe the initial targets were families opposed to general franco's post—war dictatorship. with the practice later expanded to include poor families and unmarried mothers. it continued until at least 1987, they say, when the adoption law was changed.

paula's baby disappeared immediately after birth 44 years ago, before she was able to give her first—born child a name, or even learn its gender. translation: every year i write a letter to him or to her. you were nine months in my belly, i say. those five seconds when i glimpsed you, i've loved you ever since. you were going to be my first child. i was full of hope. but mothers across spain are celebrating this first step in acknowledging the past. and a justice that, for now, is more about truth than punishment. lucy williamson, bbc news, madrid. ballet is seen by many as the most elite and least diverse of all the arts. but, at the royal ballet, the two dancers most recently promoted to principal ballerina are both mixed race. they say they represent

a changing ballet world. lizo mzimba looks at how the company is trying to change its image. dancing the lead ballerina role at this evening's opening of the new royal ballet season will be francesca hayward. she's half english, half kenyan. also recently promoted to principal dancer, yasmine naghdi. she's half belgian, half iranian. exceptional talent has helped them reach the top level. they also know their background has a huge symbolic value. i feel very proud that i can inspire the younger generation to strive to do what we do, and that's what this is about, inspiring younger generations. i'm really proud to be here, to show that, you know, it is literally for anyone, of any colour, any background, no matter how much money you have. as well as showcasing diverse talents at the very top of the company, the royal ballet is also working hard to plant the seed as early as possible that the ballet can be accessible,

can be interesting, for anyone and everyone. one, two, three, four... turn! the company takes part in an outreach programme in a range of schools, an opportunity to try and convince children that ballet might be something they can enjoy watching or even doing, whatever their background. i like it quite a lot, especially the way it's involved with a lot of plays, stories. when you see it in person, it's really cool and really fun. at first, doing ballet, i thought it would be a bit boring. but it's actually fun. for teenagers, dancers like misty copeland are also changing perceptions. she's the first black principal ballerina at the american ballet theatre and has more than 1.5 million instagram followers. there's still a long way to go in convincing everyone about the changing nature ballet.

about the changing nature of ballet. but all of these are seen as significant steps in persuading people they might be surprised at how it's transforming. lizo mzimba, bbc news. time for a look at the weather. here's tomasz schafernaker. you are going to bring the sunshine back just you are going to bring the sunshine backjust for a brief you are going to bring the sunshine back just for a brief period? you don't mind any weather, you are a lwa ys you don't mind any weather, you are always out running in it. i think some of us would like some fresh weather this time of the year. maybe this is not good news, i don't know? it is really going to be warming up across many parts of the country, and the key is a lot of sunshine on the way. so, a positive message in today's weather forecast, but not straightaway. so far, it has been very soggy straightaway. so far, it has been very soggy in the north—west of the country. actually, this is the key to what is happening out there. warm south—westerly, bringing a lot of 5°99y south—westerly, bringing a lot of soggy weather in the north—west,

this is what happens when we get warm air that is full of moisture, it brings heavy rain to one or two parts of the country. look at what happens by the time we get to tuesday, pretty much the whole of england, wales, northern ireland eventually in the sunshine, the high teens everywhere. in the north—west scotla nd teens everywhere. in the north—west scotland we have got some rain. midweek, look at where the air currents are coming from. the uk is here. we have got france, and then you have the mediterranean. that current of air is coming all the way from africa. that means only one thing, those temperatures are going to rise. a warm southerly developing, pushing the weather front out in the atlantic, and even oui’ front out in the atlantic, and even our friends from the tip of the shetland isles, all the way down to the isles of scilly, it should be a decent day. those temperatures, mid 20s in london, 20 expected in glasgow. it does happen this time of year. in fact in the last few years we have had octobers where we have had temperatures way into the 20s.

by had temperatures way into the 20s. by the time we get into thursday the weather starts to go downhill. still pretty warm with maybe some showers, 21 celsius. then, by friday, that is when it all ends, because this big... we are going to have to pay for it, you know! sophie is laughing. this is actually no laughing. this is actually no laughing matter, this could be a nasty storm. yes, there are some great weather on the way, but a word of warning towards friday, we could have some disruptive weather, it could be a named storm, not sure about that yet. stay tuned to the weather forecast, we could about that yet. stay tuned to the weatherforecast, we could be about that yet. stay tuned to the weather forecast, we could be ending on that note. that's all from the bbc news at six , so it's goodbye from me, this is bbc news and looking at the main headlines now. scientists have given their starkest warning yet about the dangers of client check —— climate change saying rapid change is needed to avoid catastrophe. brayden‘s biggest car—maker says that they will close the solihull plant that they will close the solihull pla nt after that they will close the solihull plant after a 50% fall in sales to

china. the family of a second customer is thought to have suffered a severe allergic reaction says they just want the answers to why she died after eating lunch with her family. scotland's first minister nicola sturgeon says the scottish national party will go down any brexit deal that will see the uk leave the eu single market and customs union. donald trump has said the sex assault claims
