this bbc is news. the hardlines... eat less meat and take the ref flights and driving electric cars, things we are told to help an ambitious new target of cutting carbon emissions to zero at the 30 yea rs. carbon emissions to zero at the 30 years. the prime minister says that the case is closed, after defence secretary sacked over leaks of national security council, labour demand a police investigation. national security council, labour demand a police investigationm response to receiving the most brittle sacking i can think of, the memberfor staffordshire brittle sacking i can think of, the member for staffordshire has protested his innocence and therefore this matter cannot be as at the prime minister says a closed. concern for thejobs in belfast at the prime minister says a closed. concern for the jobs in belfast as they announced one of the biggest employers, but by the air, is being
8:01 pm
sold. a church warden and musician are suspected... 20 yorkshire gets under way and a cold and wet as some of the well‘s top cyclist i picked to the test. that evening and welcome to bbc news. britain should cut combinations in the next 30 years and leave the global fight for climate change. that's the view that says england should go furthest in cutting the gases to virtually zero, by 2050. the scotland target is five yea rs by 2050. the scotland target is five years sooner by 2050. the scotland target is five yea rs sooner because by 2050. the scotland target is five years sooner because there potential to plant more trees is greater. but
8:02 pm
wales has more time, five years extra, because of its reliance on agriculture. northern ireland does not have a specific target because lack of government instrument. the report today says no time to waste and we must do our best and turn down heating and meet last meet and switch to electric cars. 0ur science editor david reports. a heavy swell in the north sea as he travelled to a new wind farm. every swish of the blades generates zero carbon power, and until recently this is one of the most expensive sources of energy. a break there in technology have dramatically lower the costs. so in their report, the government advisers say a sevenfold increase and offshore winds should be possible. this is a good day here, imagine what it's like building and maintaining wind turbines are in all the weather. but the country is getting more electricity to say, and
8:03 pm
the report says we need to restart thousands of more turbines if we ta ke thousands of more turbines if we take climate changes seriously. but that will be a huge challenge. it was britain with the industrial revolution and i first started pumping out the gases that are raising the now the raising the temperature. now the report says britain could lead the way to a clean future, and helped limit global warming. we are responsible for a great deal of the warming the world sees and the climate change we see, but more than that we can also consume market and those two factors that mean that the uk really needs to go further and faster earlier. advices we keep driving cars, but they should be electric by 2030. eating red meat is 0k, electric by 2030. eating red meat is ok, but ideally 20% less. set your thermostat to 19 degrees in winter, i seeming home is well insulated. there is a glimpse at a low carbon future in not an end, they are
8:04 pm
drilling to install a new kind of heating for social housing. it warmth from the ground. the homes are also fitted with solar panels, and an energy centre there is battery to start the power and there is no need for gas and then monthly bill is lower. jonah says it's a pleasure to live here. in the winter it's terrible because even in the summerl it's terrible because even in the summer i was sitting there with a gown on and socks and the doors were shut and now you see they are wide open and always open i don't need my dressing gown or socks, i haven't had them for 12 months so it's been great. last month, protesters demanded action on global warming and what did they think of the new planet? we are living in this thing that if ijust turn that thermostat back —— now let's flights, if that be ok and i think the truth is that we are telling everyone is that it's not going to be ok, stop telling yourself you have to make fundamentally different choices.
8:05 pm
yourself you have to make fundamentally different choicesm any event, major change is likely. here, a new blade for wind turbine is tested by my staggering 88 metres long. new designs like this mean it's plausible that by 2050, britain was an art more to global warming. but the key question, is what government will do? and whether it's going to agree for zero carbon future. with that is how then, the ceo of climate grip and organisation working with businesses and government leaders around the world. to address climate change, thank you for joining to address climate change, thank you forjoining us. i know we have to be ambitious, but how achievable is a? what's great about the report is a really sets out how ambitious we need to be. across all parts of the economy and i think it's great to see the scope and all the underlying research and to really play shots andi research and to really play shots and i think we can achieve this, but what it's telling us we have to do a lot and quickly. so how is life likely have to change my i know it's
8:06 pm
difficult to answer but broadly in the next 20 years? we will see lots of changes in that is what is telling us, people are quick to focus on negative, that are positive there to my we know if we bring in electric vehicles for example we can deal ofair electric vehicles for example we can deal of air pollution, if we switch to other forms of diet we can do a lot for health, said they are cut benefits and i think looking at the changes we need to put in place, but also telling —— thinking about how it makes life better and we start to see the work we do have businesses and changes they are making seeing positive impact for business and doing more and moving faster.|j deeply commitment from the when in the end, they have to think about profit if they are in a business and votes the politicians. what's great about the last few weeks we saw the strikes and the rebellion, and we finally see a big swelling up from civil society saying do something and asking governments to be bold and asking governments to be bold and leaders and business to do more.
8:07 pm
a lot of businesses have been doing a lot already so the likes of bt and long—standing programmes and become then they had a programme last week on renewable electricity and energy productivity and electric vehicles in the last week and the royal bank of scotla nd in the last week and the royal bank of scotland all signed up for those, so we had all this going on from businesses, i left out and now we are adding that not —— demanding from civil society people putting pressure lean particularly children, their ability to put pressure on pa rents their ability to put pressure on parents and say do more and push ha rd parents and say do more and push hard is going to see these two things playing together so we had ambitious leadership out there, and government can be and balding to do more and be more ambitious and got faster. we could have a different conversation about children coming after school to do protests but that would take us the rest of the interview, how do you make sure you don't leave people behind particularly those in society who don't have as much disposable income who can't necessarily change the way
8:08 pm
they live and travel and eat quite as readily? it that's what the government had a key role, and i think wind it offends enough know from all the signs is we have to do it, it's not optional, we have to work towards net zero by 2050. actually the senate would take action, less disruptive it is and where we can do it in a fair way, so really the message from their report does move faster. that means we do it anyway that's my chest and the report because on government and the planning to think about love the couege planning to think about love the college as transition, how to think about while the college as transition, i reviewed in that way. i know someone has to lead, what's the point in england or uk being ahead of the curve at the rest of the weld is lagging behind a? two parts, one is it does not matter where you and that the company goes into the atmosphere and where it's in the wild and has an impact overall so we have to reduce the emissions, but there is also a leadership point at the uk has been a leading country on this, what we see is monday uk leads and shows as possible, other countries follow up
8:09 pm
on myself for something like the paris agreement it was important that countries like the uk were stepping out and showing what was possible, the climate change act is ten yea rs possible, the climate change act is ten years old and a landmark piece of legislation to other countries could look at and take inspiration from inside 0k could look at and take inspiration from inside ok if you are doing it so will be, so it's important to have that leadership role, because for the have that leadership role, because forthe uk, we have that leadership role, because for the uk, we need other countries to cut their admissions as well and actually we need to be the one pulling people along —— along then showing the possibility. thank you for joining showing the possibility. thank you forjoining us. you can find more about climate change on the report and our website including our own jargon buster, which explains all of the key terms. the prime minister says that the case is closed after the defence secretary gavin williamson dramatically sacked yesterday over leaked details from the national security council meeting. but today, opposition party stepped up because for a police investigation, and to whether the act was breached. he continues to
8:10 pm
deny telling the daily telegraph about discussions over what the chinese farm helped build the uk 5g network. our deputy political editor john reports. why haven't the police been called the? out she came today to greet a visiting leader and created by this. are you certain you have the right man? and this. is a williams and a liar? and the. was there a kangaroo court? nothing more to but she can bend gavin williamson just a day after he denied he was the guilty man. absolutely not. but he admitted to speaking to daily telegraph after national security council discussed giving china corporation a hand in building the sg corporation a hand in building the 5g network in britain. he denies leaking back, now career wrecked and future blighted, he is not going quietly, he told journalists...
8:11 pm
back to the government today, it's an open and shut case. the prime minister says she considers now that this matter has been closed. in the cabinet secretary does not consider it necessary to refer it to the police, but we would have christ co—operate fully, should the police themselves consider an investigation where necessary. the message to ministers. members should speak with candour and the room and shut up when they get outside. not so fast since they opponent. the prime minister sacked the secretary of state for defence because she believes there is compelling evidence that he has committed a crime. but despite that, she does not believe he should face a
8:12 pm
criminal investigation. where is thatjustice and criminal investigation. where is that justice and that? criminal investigation. where is thatjustice and that? and some tories want to be sure the case for this tracking was airtight. natural gas since the case for this tracking was airtight. natural dances that man's evidence be produced so his reputation can be salvaged or destroyed, does it not? could it be possible that the kangaroo court made a mistake? critics, is cabinet conduct and the dock. some members have completely swept aside any scraps of decency and honour and the pursuit of blatant personal ambition, no it's our buts, this matter has to go to the police. but there has been no assigned the police is going to be called in from a court case may show beyond doubt that secrets were damaging the trade, far simplerfor the that secrets were damaging the trade, far simpler for the prime minister to decide what she had been told she no longer trusted her defence secretary, administrators are persuaded, destabilising leaks
8:13 pm
must stop, she will not mind that one bit. and gavin williamson, never shy of attention knows a lot about her cabinet, maybe not always as friendly as he sometimes looks, he will have time on his hands to cause trouble if he wants for the pm who sacked him. the farmer had a civil servicejoins me now, thank you, what's your observation on the way he was dismissed? well, we have to be clear here that the test for the prime minister was whether there was enough evidence to say she had lost confidence in his capability to be a minister and she concluded she had it. that is a very different from the evidence she might need to take a criminal investigation for it. it's quite clear now that the metropolitan police were not getting involved unless they are invited, and the prime minister has no intention of inviting them out to investigate the. seed that would surprise lots of people at the
8:14 pm
police would not automatically come and look at this because we are talking about 0fficial secrets act so why is that? we are, but to be clear he had the offence as it is, is much really about the source of that the leak on the national security council rather than the substance. very hard to argue that the substance of the leak really did damage to national security, second point, prosecution under national security are very rare under this act, so this would be unusual and i think that the point is the evidence test for a criminal prosecution is beyond reasonable doubt, and i don't think despite how compelling the prime minister says evidence is, this reaches that task. how likely is it do you think that there will bea is it do you think that there will be a full formal inquiry of any type? i personally think it's unlikely now the prime minister has no appetite to do it, it would require mp and a sense to insist on
8:15 pm
such an inquiry perhaps a select committee, so i think it's very little chance that the police will get involved unless something new happens some new information comes from gavin williamson or somebody else. where he does is let him -- leave him, he continues to deny that he was responsible and yet, he is no longer the defence secretary, we are led to believe he is still going to be able to belong to the privy council. it's unusual, not really extraordinary situation, he has been accused by the prime minister of effectively leaking information from the most sense source, the national security council, he denies that but there is no process by which this can be tested, and as an independent process. so as it stands, she reached a view that he disagrees with, and i can see the process by which this gets resolved. how does
8:16 pm
he get to put forward his version of events ? he get to put forward his version of events? he could make a statement in the house, that's a commonly adopted practise, he would have christ if he did that, be potentially subject to content did that, be potentially subject to co nte nt if did that, be potentially subject to content if it was proven he had told a lie. but that would be a way in which he could set out his case and very, very clearly. we have heard the chief with jillian smith very, very clearly. we have heard the chief withjillian smith about —— lack of discipline amongst politicians and house of commons and cabinet, when you look at this as farmer had a civil service, what do you make of it? how do you restore that kind of discipline that he is saying is saying is lacking? that kind of discipline that he is saying is saying is lacking ?|j that kind of discipline that he is saying is saying is lacking? i think there has been a complete breakdown of the discipline cabinet level especially, and i think this incident was not the first of the lea ks, incident was not the first of the leaks, it just incident was not the first of the lea ks, it just happened incident was not the first of the leaks, itjust happened to come from a committee which people see as one that must not leak. so we are in a very, very unusually bad situation andi very, very unusually bad situation and i think more leaking than i have
8:17 pm
ever seen especially coalition, i think it's a sign of unhappy government really and ella amounted inquiry will. . good to have you, thank you for coming in. we will find out how this story is covered in the front pages is too much —— at 10:48pm this evening, joining me are anna isaac the economic and trade corresponding to the telegraph and the political correspondent for the evening standard, kate proctorjust went tonight because we join sheila edwards of local elections. you are watching the missing is the headlines. you catch of the global fight by cutting greenhouse gases by zero by 2050, according to a report commissioned by the government. the government says it is not planning to call police of a leak from national security council which led to defence secretary being sacked. the air and space for them bye—bye da is putting its belfast operation

8:34 pm
investments of the next decade, big oilfirms investments of the next decade, big oil firms have not investments of the next decade, big oilfirms have not adapted investments of the next decade, big oil firms have not adapted to the risk of climate change. more than two thirds of fund managers, 60% of them have considered oilfirms more attractive investments that they are based on the targets in the paris agreement. the un climate change framework from 2050. but only a7% or about half of the big international asset management firms who they work for, have themselves committed to investing in a way which would achieve the paris agreement promise. elected to again, wasn't it was mike simon howard, the chief executive, simon, thank you very much. that was a lot of information to take in. but it basically says, we know it is a goodidea it basically says, we know it is a good idea but we are not doing it ourselves, is that right?” good idea but we are not doing it ourselves, is that right? i think thatis ourselves, is that right? i think that is a little unfair. many of them are talking to the integrated oil companies, going along and saying something has got to change.

what today's news on the net zero carbon target conferences that change is now inevitable and they will accept the recommendation. in which case, the pressure ramps up. 0n the oil companies and the funders. what is the cost of not acting? the cost of not acting, you cannot put it into financial terms, i have seen estimates that it would fall by a quarter of earnings. in human terms, our weather would be awful, we would lose biodiversity, we would get diseases, people would be starving in the world. the human costis be starving in the world. the human cost is what we need to avoid. and the terms of those businesses that fail to do so quickly, what will happen to them? they will suffer. it will go the way of the single share plough through the middle ages. the bank of england is estimated that £a trillion of value and fossil fuel is at risk from climate change and 20 trillion from all kinds of companies
8:36 pm
across the economy from climate change unless we act and do it well. why is there not in inclination to do what they know they need to do? because action makes financial sense. they are increasingly doing it and which you quoted from our survey, a very small percentage companies as attractive investments over more than ten years if they stay as they are. the overwhelming majority of the people we survey wa nt majority of the people we survey want them to move rapidly towards the paris targets of one and a half degrees which is the net zero target. the weak point and with the oil companies are doing is not moving fast enough. they are not setting deadlines for the oil companies and they are not beginning to say what they would do of those deadlines are not met. how is your organisation getting into this and the trends we need to see if we are going to make significant change was yell at your right to focus on financial services, that is will be
8:37 pm
did. he talked to the government, the regulators, the fund managers and the pension fund. and we have them all and recognise there is a need to change, better change, better data, better regulation, better data, better regulation, better policy and we insist our organisation has been very successful. so the big uk pension scheme from october this year, they have to considerfor the scheme from october this year, they have to consider for the first time by regulation, environmental social government risks, including climate change. that is a change. it is a pa rt change. that is a change. it is a part of britain leading in this part of the finance. in light of the recommendation that we aim for a nearly zero admission by 2050, how can your organisation help financial services companies that think, we are behind the curve here, we need to change things? there are several things we can do, we can speak to those companies that are not currently doing it and members and leaders who are doing it, we can
8:38 pm
help brief those who are not there yet. please speak to the beneficiaries, the pension fund trustees and increasingly our fellow citizens who have their auto enrolled defined pensions, these people need to be brief, ourfellow citizens need to be briefed and choose pensions they recognise the financial risks and climate change. we do that, others do that, there's a great deal of what to do, but today's move in the climate change committee is first class. simon howard, chief executive. thank you very much. more now on the sacking of the former defence secretary, gavin williamson. he lost it yesterday over leaked details of the national security council meeting. 0pposition parties have stepped up their calls for a police investigation into whether the act was reached. he continues to deny telling the daily telegraph that huawei should help build the uk's

five g mobile network. major general, former head of counterterror at the ministry of defence, thank you very much for joining us this evening. give us your view of what we are seeing play out here. the first thing you are seeing play out is the dichotomy between the government position towards theresa may and the compelling evidence and gavin williams. it's very dangerous in itself because that leads to the conspiracy theories where you do not trust the message and the messenger. in terms of what went on within the leak, iam in terms of what went on within the leak, i am certain that someone in the mod, it may not be... 0r tweets that, it was obviously he talked to other people who may have talked too freely, so i sure that somewhere in
8:40 pm
that circumstance which should've been very narrow, it was too large. so how do you manage to stop that knowledge being wider than desirable? you do not talk about it. that's the nature of the discussions, it is somewhere between secret and top—secret. so that's where everything should end. you can challenge things within their like in any government forum, but once the decision is made, that function ceases until the next time. if you do challenge that in an open forum then you need to be held accountable and of course, but we are also seeing is the principles of public service are often looking pretty skewed because that includes the integrity, honesty, accountability and those leaders of the top should set an example of accountability and integrity and therefore, it stops here and it stops of the man at the top and that's gavin williamson.
8:41 pm
that is why he had to go. but would be, hypothetically, the reasons for leaking content from the national security council was yellow generally there are five reasons why you would leak things. the first more be because you want to compromise someone, not yourself. this could be political revenge in this case, the third is ideological and could be a politically ideological one. the fourth one is for money, which i do not think occurred in this case. in the fifth one with politicians, we know that gavin williamson was very ambitious man, his ego, he very egotistical minister and knowledge is power and he may want to do distribute that when he should not have. he is responsible for this in any way. while they tended to deal with this things themselves, instead of bringing the police and the first instance? it depends on where you
8:42 pm
wa nt to instance? it depends on where you want to go with any investigation. this was a leak investigation, not a criminal investigation. but there is precedent for criminal investigations indeed, the cabinet 0ffice investigations indeed, the cabinet office in 2007 was a prosecution and someone was jailed for six months, he was a communications officer for leaking a very sensitive memo between blair and bush, so there is precedence for criminal communication by don't think there will be a criminal investigation in this instance for a good political reason. that is the tester prosecution has to solve two questions. the first one is the evidential test, is there evidence repetition conviction and the public interest test, is it in the public interest test, is it in the public interest to bring a criminal case against gavin williamson. and from a political perspective the answer to thatis political perspective the answer to that is no. the minister of defence,
8:43 pm
thank you very much for talking to us. a fresh inquest is to be held into the death of nine—year—old deborah, who died after suffering an asthma attack in 2013. the original inquest concluded that it was caused by acute respiratory failure and severe asthma but the family says new evidence says it was linked to air pollution in her home in south london. she was cheeky and bright, sets her mother. he or she is playing with her phone in their car. this little cough a sign of how ill she was in a few months later she had a severe asthma attack and died. her home wasjust had a severe asthma attack and died. her home was just 25 metres from london's busy road. she was breathing air so polluted that it broke legal limits. pollution was not put as the cause of her death. but her mother has always believed
8:44 pm
that it was linked. and now she has one step closer to finding out. today at the high court, a judge said that in the interest of justice, there should be a new inquest. we spoke to her after the ruling. it is incredibly important. i left her so much, so much. and i am so proud of her that she is doing this for everybody else. even you and me because we all breathe air. she was rushed to the hospital almost 30 times in the three years before she died. new medical evidence key to the day's decisions shows a striking correlation between these visits and spikes in air pollution. for many years, air pollution. for many years, air pollution and asthma go together. but we have not had our demonstrations of individual human beings suffering as a direct result of this pollution. the government says it is taking conservative
8:45 pm
action to improve air quality. ella's family will have to wait a yearfor ella's family will have to wait a year for the ella's family will have to wait a yearfor the inquest, but it ella's family will have to wait a year for the inquest, but it could prove without a doubt that a legal air pollution can kill. police in northern ireland say that any witnesses to the dissident republican murder of lira, will be exonerated if they give evidence against her she was shot dead by the new ira which is good backlash against them who continue to perform attacks after the good friday agreement. 0ur correspondent reports from london from the efforts to stop the violence. the spectre of an old conflict still holds the city. now they are trying to heal new wounds. the violence
8:46 pm
which led to the death of lyra mccree was orchestrated by dissident republicans he found himself as part ofan republicans he found himself as part of an order struggle against british rule in northern ireland. stopped the whole thing. i would hope that they will take that on board. and this is the public face of modern—day dissidents. a legal political party, irish for liberation, who opposed northern ireland's peace process. police say they are the political voice of the new ira. with a significant overlap in the leadership of the two organisations. now, their headquarters in derry have become the focus of the backlash. in the wa ke the focus of the backlash. in the wake of lyra mckee's death, they
8:47 pm
have had their account closed by twitter and faced repeated calls from people to shut down their operations here. the group have not responded to our request for an interview but in a statement on the facebook page, they told people they will not be going away. as an 11 member convicted in derry this week foran member convicted in derry this week for an illegal republican parade, we caught up with a prominent dissident and leading member seen here in the blue jacket. we are from bbc news, we have a few questions. many people in derry do not want your organisation here, what do you have to say to them? people see you as having endorsed the violence which killed lyra mckee, how do you justify that? how do you justify that? is say represent the community but the community have made it very clear that you are not welcome. another problem is the workers tell
8:48 pm
us another problem is the workers tell us that what they do is deliberately target young people with their propaganda and helps encourage people to go out riding. you do not really care about their welfare do you? is really care about their welfare do you ? is not really care about their welfare do you? is not responsible? is a very vocal organisation at times, very vocal organisation at times, very vocal on social media, what do you have to say to people today? people feel dissidents like you're just trying to drag northern ireland back to the past. is that what you are doing? any words for lyra mckee's family. saying that they played no role, police promised witnesses who can identify the government will receive protection. the new ira and their supporters represent a tiny minority northern ireland. but the new blood coming to their ranks and its presence will be difficult to
8:49 pm
erase. organisers its presence will be difficult to erase. 0rganisers of the london marathon have conducted an investigation that some were called fat and slow by contractors and the race marshals, an official race pacer who was given the job of completing the course and seven and a half hours. it was a day and enjoyed by thousands. but the experience was very different for some. the london marathon had recruited people to pace at those who would take over six hours to com plete who would take over six hours to complete the course and the volunteer looking after those expected to finish and seven and a half. this on behind me there is a sweeper behind me, and a 17 minute race, and it's all over me. this is our london marathon doing that paces. fighting big orange vehicles,
8:50 pm
for the next 22 miles after that, it was an absolute mass. runners were told they were too fat to run, if there is limited they would run faster, it is a run, not a walk, it was coming from all sides. they said that the dodge lorries and run through chemical spray being used to clea n through chemical spray being used to clean the streets with one woman telling the bbc or blister has now developed into a chemical burn. the organisers say the marathon is a huge logistical operation and they have now launched an investigation. it will take time, but we will be very thorough with that and find out what went on because we want the experience to be an amazing one for everyone that is participating stop by the accusation is contractors, some of the marshals on the course we re some of the marshals on the course were telling people they were fat. they should not be taking part. that's embarrassing, isn't it? we
8:51 pm
have to do this investigation and get to integrate detail we have the most incredible marshals, volunteers and contractors who are delighted to be working on the event and have done so for some time. it is normally one of the most amazing experiences that you can have. you get cheered on by crowds, you are running on a sea of positivity. but i have heard is that and that is not an experience that i would want anyone to have. a man from 0xfordshire has stood up for his daughter after she was the victim of dishes online billing. uploading it to twitter, showing her daughter dancing and smiling despite her favourite football team losing a match. 16—year—old ella has down syndrome. who would think a video of a hotspur
8:52 pm
fan dancing would be met with so much unkindness? it was posted by her dad after the teams 1—0 defeat, triggering a tirade of abuse. the neck she was being called awful names, laughing at her. in the way she was dancing, the way she looked. getting abuse in terms of having a child with down syndrome. despite the comments by a small minority, most people have been quick to condemn the abuse. including celebrities. anthony costa from the band blue, and even herfavourite player. i hope you're well, i see the video of you dancing. ijust wa nt the video of you dancing. ijust want to thank you for your amazing support. i loved it. we know your family are proud of you as well. we know you're a big fan, we would love
8:53 pm
for you to come down and be the mass but —— for you to come down and be the mass but — — mascot. for you to come down and be the mass but —— mascot. we hope to be there, good dancing and keep doing what you're doing. lots of love. the responsive afferent people has been phenomenal. the vast majority of the 20,000 messages a that we do not know, have never met before, probably will never meet again, which is why the nice things about that element of social media. her story has been picked up by the national media, turning her into a bit of a local celebrity. she has turned into a celebrity over the past 2a to a8 hours, just a whirlwind of a day, we went down to london to appear on this morning. they had to go back for bbc london. 0n they had to go back for bbc london. on their channel and then we eventually got home it was an amazing day and even now people are
8:54 pm
still contacting us stop by despite the initial upset, the family says their faith the initial upset, the family says theirfaith in the initial upset, the family says their faith in humanity the initial upset, the family says theirfaith in humanity has been maintained by the overwhelming support they have received. it is has not deterred herfrom dancing. the tour to yorkshire got under way in the rebranded team formally team sky had its new start, highlighting the role that the energy giant had in fracking and producing plastics. the stage of the race was also affected by some severe weather as our sports correspondent reports. the dawn of a new era for the dominant force in cycling, but the ta keover dominant force in cycling, but the takeover by the company has not been a smooth ride. the chemicals company is one of the biggest producers of plastic in europe and wants to conduct fracking in the uk, which is why the team's first race today,
8:55 pm
environmental campaigners peacefully made their point. it is a brilliant thing for this region, but fracking and plastic pollution are really bad things and that is what they represent. it has not gone down well, it is happening on his doorstep. it isn't a good place, yorkshire will the winner. those trying to win the race itself, * names of the four—day event that began this afternoon and don castor as torrential names made for difficult writing conditions. but the limited crowd size and not the competition, they are weaving their way through the countryside to the finish line in selby. but the organisers and the teams will hope that continues to be the case through the combination on sunday.
8:56 pm
throughout the day, we have brought you pictures of the polling stations. some people have been bringing their canine companions with them as they go to vote in but not to be outdone, other animals have been getting in on the action as well. candidates were feline like today when this cat turned up to vote. the political wheel keeps on turning where a tiny polling station was set up for this hamster. and billy wasn't kidding when he took his goat to vote this afternoon, as you can see things are getting a bit woolly. if i were simon, i would complain about those pets but i savour them. time for a look at the weather. thursday has been a day characterised by sunny spells and scattered showers and pretty widespread and you can see quite
8:57 pm
intense as well. the fairmont or shower cloud across the country on a satellite and rain radar, so one minute we have beautiful blue skies with some sunshine coming through and it felt quite warm the next, threatening looking skies really. some of the shy was really quite heavy indeed. some of the showers will start to fade away through this evening, and then overnight there will be replaced by a blanket of cloud that is moving out of scotland and did a week weather front to northern ireland northwest england in the midlands and east anglia, thatis in the midlands and east anglia, that is a cold front that is going to introduce the change to the feel of our weather as we move into the weekend. so friday really is the transition day, as this court for and sinks its way steadily south and west and the ice will squeeze together in the wind will strengthen particularly in the far north of scotla nd particularly in the far north of scotland and come all the way down from the north court which will really feel disappointing for early may i am afraid. so shall the outbreaks of rain from the court from pushing its way south in west, more than two showers with a wintry
8:58 pm
flavour to higher ground in scotland and windy weather as well. but still ahead of that court front we will start to see temperatures into double figures, may be as high as 15 degrees behind it, a noticeable difference with the feel of the weather in particular on the exposed east coast factoring that win. it will feel very cold indeed. the courtier bushes south across the country —— cold air, but northerly winds, we could see potentially quite a widespread frost on saturday morning but a bit of a shock to the system. a beautiful start some sunshine around but those will drive and showers of the east coast some pushing and land, but for the west we will see the showers here and perhaps the best of the warmth it was still not be very warm for the time of year. 13 degrees will be the height, colder than the east coast. but high pressure will start to build from the west, the second half of the weekend which will help kill off some of the showers. so sunday
