hello this is bbc news. the headlines: labour's brexit spokesman, sir keir starmer, says mps who want to stop a no—deal brexit will seek to bring forward legislation against it this week. the cabinet minister reponsible for no—deal preparations, michael gove, refuses to commit the government to follow

parliament's orders, if no—deal legislation is passed. the eu's lead brexit negotiator michel barnier says the uk has now reached a "moment of truth" — he rejects borisjohnson‘s demand for the irish backstop to be scrapped. pro—democracy activists in hong kong target the city's airport after a night of violence in which dozens of people were injured. political leaders from across the world gather in poland to mark the 80th anniversary of the start of world war ii — as the german president asks for poland's forgiveness. now on bbc news: protecting our planet. how can we best protect our precious planet? climate change and pollution are taking their toll. that much is now

scientifically evident. but for all the uncomfortable truth, we hold the future in our hands. in this film, we'll be exploring sustainable solutions around the globe, and meeting the individuals driving change in their communities. these are some of the unique and surprising ways in which people from all walks of life are working to protect our planet. nested in the jungles of bali,

architects are using a surprising material — bamboo. the perception of bamboo in asia over the last few years until today has been quite low. it is considered a very humble and impermanent material because it can be eaten by insects if not properly treated. when it is treated it is protected from the rain and sun. a charity has been pioneering the use of bamboo in new and ambitious constructions. our organisation is called ibuku. it's a reference to mother earth. bamboo is found in asia, australia, north and south america, and sub—saharan africa. according to the guinness book of records, it's the fastest growing plant on the planet. there are thousands of species of bamboo around the world, and hundreds here in indonesia. the structure of this house, it's six storeys tall, 700 square metres,

four bedrooms, it has a big, open living room, a kitchen and a dining room nestled right beside it. those are open—air and it lets the breeze come through. giant bamboo is an evergreen species that is harvested between three and five years into its growth. the team at ibuku treat it before it is used in construction. in our team we have about 20 designers and another 90 people working together in a workshop nearby to prepare the bamboo material, constructive material and get the building built.

the construction industry, the design world relies on materials that bend to your will.

people love plastic, you can make whatever shape you want out of it, you can mould it, the ultimate vanity. bamboo has incredible strength. an engineer i know compares it to carbon fibre because of the way the long fibres result in strength and flexibility, which is important. it also critical in earthquake—prone situations. the bamboo structure will kind of dense and bend long before it cracks under pressure. now we have it properly treated, we can hope people realise you can take advantage of the flexibility and incredibly efficient growth. while laura and her team work to change perceptions bamboo and its use in construction in indonesia, injapan‘s capital city, entrepreneurs are also trying to challenge ideas about the materials

we use and the longevity. in this cafe, people are learning how to repair their electronics instead of throwing them out. in a few hours, mobile phones, chargers and radios are being saved from the rubbish.

japan has the second highest volume of e—waste in asia, according to the united nations university global e—waste monitor, with 2.1 metric tons generated in 2016 alone.

in the northern italian town of modena, massimo bottura is taking his fight around the world. in 2016 bottura and his wife created food for soul, his restaurant has been ranked in the list of best restaurants in the world. in 2016 bottura and his wife created food for soul,

a non—profit organisation that establishes refottorios, community kitchens to fight food waste using surplus ingredients and world—class recipes. there are currently three refottorios in italy and others have been established in london, paris and rio dejaneiro. we are developing a 3d image of how we see italy, the culinary world,

the future of food, ourselves, our identity, and forming a circle that is getting larger and larger. the garden is a little project because i am collaborating with a local high school, it is an agricultural high school. it is really overwhelming, the emotion that i have working with them, and i am so curious to see the results. and that's how the last 25 years have gone by in a flash, because one thing leads to another and we can ride off each other‘s enthusiasm, which can be very dangerous but fortunately we have two children

and one of our children has a disability, and this disability has also given us really strong roots, does keep us very grounded. massimo bottura and lara gilmore are also ambassadors of tortellante, a fresh pasta lab where traditional keepers of the tortellini craft passed their knowledge on to teenagers living with autism. bringing these young adults together and teaching them a skill that they can learn, where they can have an identity, they can have an occupation, not only of their time during the day but also to have a profession, a skill that many other people don't have, my son charlie is able to make tortellini 100 times better than i am. they see their skills being put to use and at the end of two hours or three hours, or a four hour morning they have been making tortellini, they look at this incredible production they have

made, all these beautiful handcrafted unique, small bites of love. massimo employs the same philosophy in his three michelin starred restaurant as he does in his referttorios. nothing goes to waste.

in some parts of the world, people are rapidly changing the way they produce food. just off the coast of south korea, onjeju island, farmers are having to adapt to climate change by growing new crops.

rising temperatures have caused parts of the forest here to die and many species are now endangered. jeju island was once an independent kingdom, tamna. today it is a special autonomous province, known for its volcanic rock formations and its dramatic coastlines. it has been estimated that global warming will cause korea to turn into a subtropical climate by 2070. many locals are concerned about the potential impact on the island's unique climate and culture.

because of rising temperatures, farmers like kim are now cultivating pa payas, bananas, sugarcane and avocado. the banana tree yields about 55lb of bananas. while a papaya tree can produce

around 88lb of papaya. tera kim teaches dancing to remind people of their connection to nature.

whilejeju island is facing a rapidly changing climate, the erosion of the antarctic wilderness is presenting scientists a new set of questions. they are attempting to determine the age of the ice sheet, to track its glacial history. antarctica contains enough sea ice to raise sea levels by about four metres. where we are working in the amundsen sea, which has some of the fastest changing ice. the amundsen and glaciers that contains them are of particular interest to scientists around the world because of this rapid change. in order to understand how the ice might behave in the future, one of the crucial pieces of information is to understand how it behaved during past times of warmer conditions.

drilling kilometre—long sediment and rock cores into water thousands of metres deep is uncovering vital information. hidden within hundreds of metres of core are microscopic treasures. the continent—scale ice sheet has grown and shrunk over millions of years. but as a way to determine when that has happened, we need a time machine or a record of how it has behaved in the past. our sedimentary deposits and our drill core provide that time machine. but in order to determine the exact age, we use tiny microscopic fossils made of glass, and these organisms give us a key to understanding these past records. these are known as diatoms. diatoms are photosynthetic algae that live around the world in watery environments.

they are very small, typically in the order of 50 microns. one micron is 1000th of a millimetre, so very small, we need a microscope to study them. under the microscope most diatoms look like small discs of silica with very fine holes that are arranged in very ornate patterns. in antarctica, diatoms are of particular importance for dating rocks, or determining the ages of ancient rock layers. the history of the antarctic ice sheet is recorded in these rock layers. antarctica is a vast continent. we know surprisingly little about its history, and these glassy organisms are one of the primary ways in which we can date the rocks

from around antarctica and determine the evolution of the ice sheets through time. these tiny glass fossils are the time travellers of antarctic science. they help scientists to understand the history of this vast continent. and to predict the future of antarctica's ice sheets in what is projected to be a much warmer planet. across the world, there are people striving to provide sustainable and innovative solutions to some of our biggest challenges. high and low tech, large and small scale. they are working towards preserving the earth's natural resources and protecting our planet.

it may have turned cooler today, but there has been a fair amount of sunshine, a few passing showers, though many places stay dry. cloud built after a sunny start to the day. this is eastern scotland. it's part of eastern scotland and north—east england that have seen heavy showers, some thundery. high pressure to the south—west of the uk. the flow round that is introducing cooler air. showers have been moving southward through the day. and at night, a few showers to be had. cloud and showers moving away from northern ireland this and across scotland, northern england, parts of wales. but away from that, lots of dry and clear weather. that allows temperatures to dip, cooler than it was last night.

in rural sports temperatures could be mid to low single figures. into tomorrow... mostly starting dry with sunshine. cloud and rain into northern ireland. that will move across scotland, northern england too. patchy rain affecting wales and south—west england. the midlands, east anglia and the south—east, even though cloud will increase, will stay dry. temperatures here a little higher than they have been. beyond monday, there is an atlantic influence, so there will be further weather systems coming in. tuesday, you can see the cloud moving in. some outbreaks of rain. the further east you are in england, likely to stay dry. a few sunny spells. the temperature a little higher, as high as 24. mid—week temperatures coming down again. we have a cold front moving southwards as we go into wednesday. isobars turning around.

we will feel a chill in northern scotland by the end of wednesday. early rain clearing away from the south—east. further showers moving in across scotland to northern ireland and into northern england. northern scotland only around 12—13. 20 at best in the south—east. for much of the uk, sticking around the mid—teens. after the start of the week, temperatures will be at or below average for the time of year. some rain at times, some sunny spells. and some chilly nights.

this is bbc news. i'm lukwesa burak. the headlines at 5pm: labour's brexit spokesman, sir keir starmer, says mps who want to stop a no—deal brexit will seek to bring forward legislation against it this week. the route will be by legislation because i believe there has got to be legislation in place to lock this and make it unlawful for him to take us out without a deal. the cabinet minister responsible for no—deal preparations, michael gove, refuses to commit the government to follow pa rliament‘s orders if no—deal legislation is passed. let's see what the legislation says. you're asking me about a pig and a poke. i will wait to see what the legislation the opposition may try to bring forward.
