it gives me great pleasure to the death as they try to tackle climate change. to declare open this 25th session. and top of the class. just how does one of europe's smallest nations outperform so here in madrid, as the annual un its richer neighbours? we've been to estonia to find out. talks on climate change get under way, one of the loudest demands is from the countries most vulnerable to those bigger storms. we worry about our livelihoods. we worry about the future generations. we worry about our country. we exist as people. we in the small islands, we exist as people. we have our cultures, we have our families, we have our livelihoods, and we face extinction. you can't get away from that. good morning. and it's not a nice it is 9:00am in singapore and 1:00am in the uk. thought, it's scary. an investigation by bbc panorama has all the time, the gases that discovered that lawyers for five of the accusers ofjeffrey epstein, the convicted sex offender, are heating up the atmosphere have made a request are still being pumped out, for prince andrew to give evidence and in ever greater quantities, in their court cases. the five women allege increasing the risks of damaging impacts, that the prince witnessed how and despite all the scientific epstein and his guests behaved at a number of his homes, warnings that this should stop. there has been frantic diplomacy as darragh macintyre reports. on climate change over the past quarter of the century,

with huge gatherings like this one. but the source of the problem remains unchecked. all the more reason, the head of the un tells me, to help those most in danger. the allegations made by virginia giuffre because, whether people about prince andrew have raised like to admit it or not, climate change is already a problem questions that won't go away. today, and we are having terrible the lawyer for five impact in droughts, in floods, ofjeffrey epstein‘s accusers says in other kinds of natural — he wants prince andrew to testify in hurricanes, in countries that as a witness in their court cases. are already suffering enormously. the women say the prince witnessed how epstein and his guests the whole issue of how much were given massages help to provide and who is to blame for the rise in temperatures has at the sex offender's home. become incredibly contentious among panorama has been told that the different teams here, subpoenas have been prepared and it won't be easy to settle. for the cases, and could be served and another reminder of what's on prince andrew if he returns at stake as the negotiations begin — to the united states. and that means that, severe flooding in kenya in the last few days, the next time prince andrew visits the states, amid the fear that, he faces being ordered to give without the right global response, evidence, whether he likes there will be much worse to come. david shukman, bbc news in madrid. it or not. with respect to prince andrew, i think he needs to come clean, and i think the facts need to be revealed. prince andrew says that he did not see, witness or suspect any three days after the attack

suspicious behaviour on london bridge, a vigil has been held for the victims, during his visits to mr epstein‘s jack merritt and saskia jones. they had both been taking part in a programme for educating homes in florida, new york offenders when one of those and the caribbean, attending, usman khan, started attacking and he says he is willing to help people with a knife. khan was released from prison last any appropriate law enforcement december after serving agency with their investigations half his sentence for terrorism offences. if required. but now, questions are being asked virginia giuffre, who says about the role of prison she was trafficked to london and probation services, by epstein to have sex and how effective programmes to deradicalise such people can be, with prince andrew, told panorama as our home affairs correspondent that she was introduced to him daniel sandford reports. by the prince's long—standing friend ghislaine maxwell. after being convicted she says that, after a visit of a serious terrorist offence, to a nightclub, ghislaine maxwell usman khan spent eight years in prison. for another year, he was being instructed her to have sex with the prince. closely supervised by police in court documents, ghislaine maxwell says and probation. all virginia giuffre‘s allegations are lies. but, despite all those years the people on the inside are going to keep coming up with these in the hands of the state, ridiculous excuses, he still came to london on friday like the photo was doctored. and killed two young people. i mean, come on. how did the system fail? i'm calling bs on this, because that's what it is. he knows what happened, i know what happened, former governor ian acheson has and there's only one of us telling the truth, become a specialist in how to deal and i know that's me. with terrorist prisoners. he produced a report people who say that you're for the government which he feels not telling the truth, was not properly implemented. they point to inconsistencies he says the number of prisoners is relatively small.

in your tale. there's only 221 of them. how do you account for those? we have to get in there and start challenging and measuring if or how they can change. you are left with a foggy memory if they refuse to change, sometimes, you really are. or if they are demonstrating so yeah, you know, i might be wrong that they're pulling the wool over on dates, absolutely. authorities' eyes by pretending i might be wrong on places, that they're changed, even, sometimes. they're still dangerous, but one thing i can tell and in my view they should be kept you is that you never in prison indefinitely. forget the face of someone after being convicted in 2012, who's heaved over you. khan did several counterterrorism for his part, the duke of york emphatically denies any form courses while in prison, though some people question their effectiveness. of sexual contact or relationship 0n release last year, with virginia giuffre, and says any claim to the contrary is false he had to do further and without foundation. darragh macintyre, bbc news. deradicalisation, what is called the desistance and disengagement programme. he wore a gps tag and had severe restrictions on where he could go and who he could see, let's take a look at some and although his behaviour seemed of the day's other news: manila good, he was also still an active international airport has been shut as typhoon kammuri makes landfall person of interest for m15. in the central philippines in the area of sorsogon. victims campaigner harry fletcher 200,000 residents were evacuated from coastal areas. some events at the southeast asian has been told that khan had been games, which opened on saturday, have been cancelled or rescheduled. allowed to travel once before last week, but last time had been accompanied by a police escort.

actors, directors and producers have been accused of sexual harassment raising serious questions about work culture in the industry. from mumbai, suranjana tewari reports. from the bollywood industry to the media fraternity... spreading across india... concerns raised about blatant sexism in bollywood. .. it's just over a year since bollywood had its metoo moment. i wouldn't say it's a bollywood habit, it's a very india habit. one year on, those who spoke up say the movement's momentum has slowed. i now realise a year later that this was more of a social movement, and legally we still need to progress and evolve at a far greater pace. producer and director vinta nanda came out last year accusing veteran actor alok nath of rape in 1999. his lawyers denied the allegations and filed a defamation case against vinta. action! some working in the industry are frustrated with how unequal the movement has been.

you know, some have very openly gone back to work. some haven't. and these things are all very much to do with, you know, how powerful certain individuals are. when it comes to assessing india's metoo movement on the film industry, the jury is still very much out. some say the momentum is waning and that more needs to be done. but others working in the film industry say they're seeing changes on set that better protect women. production houses have started setting up sexual harassment committees on sets, even though the law required their existence for several years. this is a classic example of a woman using as a weapon, the very law that was made to protect her. bollywood has long made films based on social issues, and section 375 was no different. it received backlash for its theme of a false allegation, but was appreciated in some circles were discussing male privilege,

consent and the abuse of power. india's film industry is one of the biggest in the world, and so metoo has forced many to reflect on the impact of the movement. there were some women who did speak out and they did suffer, very publicly, in the sense that i don't think they got much work. the day one a—lister comes out is when i'm going to say, yeah, ok, now change has started taking place. the greatest test will be where the film industry's metoo travels from here and whether it genuinely helps makes india's sets and its workplaces safer for women. suranjana tewari, bbc news, mumbai. the latest indicators of how education system performs on the global stage will be published later on tuesday. one of the smallest countries in europe, estonia, usually outperforms richer and more powerful nations.

so, what makes the education system in the tiny baltic state with a population of less than 2 million so successful? 0ur education editor bra nwen jeffreys has been finding out. it's drop—off time at kindergarten. for parents to cost is capped, up to about £80 a month for each child, so almost every child starts coming as a toddler, even though compulsory school only begins at age seven. it is very important because learning will be so fast, may be asking questions or raising his hand, being brave, and i think the main thing to him is to be socially ready. how important do you think education is to your children's future? very important, very important. it is also important to do it in a way that they enjoy it but not forcing them to do something, but do it in a wise way. teachers lead the learning in every kindergarten.

there are no national tests, no scores children. what is expected is to get everyone to a basic standard. i try to get them to know how to read a word with two syllables in it. well, we actually have children who know how to read sentences, so they are really easy guidelines. the gap between rich and poor kids is small in estonia and this is where the levelling up starts. this estonian language class has children of every ability. that is normal in basic school from age seven to 16, so there is no setting or streaming. teachers in estonia are given remarkable freedom in how and what they teach. the inspections don't even come into the classroom and there is relatively little testing. but it is that belief

in levelling up that is crucial, the head teacher told me. if you are teaching different level of abilities then you are segregating them and we don't want to segregate any people in the world, like we are doing in the schools. that is my personal opinion. this is one of the things why estonia is successful. these students tell me there is a culture of striving in this young country. we have to be educated to get on with ourselves and i think every estonian feels the need to be independently sufficient. this really helps us with ease of access. if you need study material, we have our e—library. maybe it is because there are so few of us that we want to represent our country.

you don't pay for textbooks, the school transportation or lunches. the students are growing up in a digital economy. voting in general elections is all online and there is a culture of striving. we have to be educated to get on with ourselves andi educated to get on with ourselves and i think to be estonian to me, is to be independently sufficient. we use online resources often. and so you have access to information like never possible before. yeah, new possibility. estonia's education success doesn't seem to have a human cost. music is in every school, studied by everyone up to 16. the teenagers here report being happier than those in the uk.

branwenjeffreys, bbc news, tallinn. wow, happy teenagers, that is an inspiration. good to see how estonia does it. you have been watching newsday. i'm kasia madera in london. study hard and you will be successful. i'm rico hizon in singapore. stay with us. coming up: asia business report. could your life insurance go up in smoke? well, we'll see why your vaping habit could raise the costs of your premiums. that will be fascinating. we look forward to that in a few moments on the asia business report. and before we go, we'd like to leave you with these pictures. on a cold day, manyjapanese people swear by a nice long dip in a hot spring water. they're not alone. dozens of monkeys in the country's northernmost prefecture of hokkaido do exactly that.

the monkeys are at the hakodate tropical botanical garden. they look so relaxed! it pumps water into its monkey park every december and the temperature is maintained at a0 degrees celsius. and the monkeys can enjoy the hot spring water until early may next year. so, yeah, these monkeys are having a good sign. thank you and from everybody on the newsday team, stay warm. hello. monday's mildest weather was found in the far north of the uk. and it's not that often we get to say that! whereas many areas stayed chilly, just one degree in parts of mid wales, highland scotland saw temperatures climbing all the way to ten degrees because of a feed of south—westerly winds from the atlantic, bringing a lot of cloud, bringing some outbreaks

of rain, but also bringing some milder air, which stays in place across northern areas to start tuesday, while southern areas have something much colder. so nine degrees there in stornoway, compare that with freezing in london. some spots a few degrees below freezing, and with the potential for some fog. a met office yellow warning was issued for the risk of some dense fog patches in an area that includes some key motorways and some major airports as well. and even if it isn't foggy, it's likely to be quite grey and murky, with some low cloud in places. so, poor visibility could cause some disruption and some of that fog could be quite slow to clear. but generally speaking across england and wales we should see some sunny spells developing. whereas for northern ireland and scotland, there will be a lot of cloud, best of the brightness, i tihnk, across north—eastern scotland, eastern counties in northern ireland. still a south—westerly wind here, so ten degrees in stornoway, also 11 down in plymouth,

but in many spots, we will have single digit temperatures once again. now, as we move through tuesday night into the early hours of wednesday, again there is potential for fog across central and eastern and southern parts of england, another chilly night and chilly start to the day here. further north and west, milder, but with some extra cloud, more of a breeze and some outbreaks of rain thanks to this frontal system here. this will be working its way in from the west as we go through on wednesday and you can see quite a few light lines, quite a few isobars on the chart, there will be strong winds across north—western parts as well. that rain getting to scotland and northern ireland, eventually into the far north of england, further south and east some of that fog to start off, which could be slow to clear. then we see some sunny spells. again, single digits for most but in the far south—west, the far north—west, we'll be up at 10—11 degrees. now, as we head into thursday, we're going to see persistent rain piling on in western scotland, perhaps enough to cause some problems, maybe some localised flooding. it's going to be a windy day for many, particularly

in the north—west. steady wind speeds you can see there in the arrows, gusts of 50—60 miles an hour. further south and east, not as windy, and again we'll see some spells of sunshine. nine degrees there in london, but many more spots in double digits by this stage. and it will be milder for all of us by friday, but still quite windy with some rain at times.
