this is bbc news. welcome if you're watching here in the uk or around the globe. i'm james reynolds. our top stories: extra time for climate talks in madrid — as delegates struggle to agree on crucial measures to tackle global warming. if we cannot agree an ambitious decision, we would have failed to address the hopes of the people that are waiting for us in our countries. borisjohnson promises to repay the trust of former labour supporters whose votes helped him to victory in thursday's election. arsenal distance themselves from comments made by mesut ozil, their star player, who criticised china over treatment of uighur muslims. and tens of thousands take to the streets of rome to protest against the italian far right league party.

as negotiations continue through the night at the un climate talks in madrid, the minister leading them has appealed for flexibility as delegates struggle to reach agreement on crucial measures to tackle global warming. the european union and many small island states, vulnerable to climate change, are pushing for more ambitious action from all countries, but some of the biggest polluters, including the us, brazil and india, have objected. gareth barlow reports. international delegates are struggling to agree how to react to and combat climate change. to and limit climate change. the eu small island states they more needs to be

done, but countries including the us, india, and brazilsay current plans are adequate. we are sorry to inform you that we are not comfortable with th etax at icp25. it is not only brazil, several other partners have expressed our deep discomfort with this proposal for a work stream on land. european union, you have the floor. the key stumbling blocks centre around three main areas. firstly, small island states, developing countries and the eu want more ambitious targets to reduce emissions. but the us, china, and others want to stick to current plans. efforts to finalise agreement made in paris on carbon markets have been hampered by nations, including brazil and australia, and there is a lack of consensus over how small island states are compensated for damages caused by rising temperatures.

as protesters highlighted their anger at perceived inaction by staging sit ins, mock executions and dumping maure outside the conference centre, inside, developed countries and the developing world are at loggerheads, and there are please or action. —— pleas. people in our countries need us. i hope that all the hard work that we have been doing in this two whole weeks is worth it, only if we have an ambitious result. it has been almost 30 years before climate change began to top the international agenda. in 1990, the first intergovernmental panel on climate change found human emissions were adding to the atmosphere's natural greenhouse gases. seven years later, developed nations pledged to reduce emissions, but the us immediately declared it wouldn't ratify the treaty.

in 2005, the kyoto protocol became international law for signatory countries, and a decade later, the landmark paris climate agreement sought the world pledged to limit temperature rises and emissions, although the united states later withdrew from that accord. around the world on a daily basis, people are rising up, to highlight their concerns over climate change. the question for their leaders meeting in madrid, will they rise up to the challenge of tackling the biggest threat facing the planet? or will they fail to find an agreement, and failed to properly or will they fail to find an agreement, and fail to properly protect our fragile world? so what are the reasons behind the deadlock? helen mountford of the world resources institute was at talks in madrid. there are a number of issues and a critical point we have here is that the negotiators are not reflecting

the negotiators are not reflecting the urgency of the science that we see, the science of climate change is more clear than ever that we need to act now and the calls from people on the street who asked for more action. the small world country, the vulnerable ones, the major emitters have largely been missing in action. china often says to the west, talking about big polluters, that you got rich, you have no right to stop developing countries from trying to get better lives for our people. how do you respond to that? the reality is that the trajectory we need to be on is zero missions by 2050 and we can only do that if all countries and all the world works together to do so. right now in a situation where everyone needs to

ta ke situation where everyone needs to take action. in the paris agreement and convention there is an approach with common but differentiated responsibilities and there is support and financing to support countries but one of the other things that hasn't changed since the paris agreement was struck is that economics are better than ever. renewable costs have been plummeting. new technology with electric vehicles and batteries storage. is it fair to describe the current deadlock is a conflict between the eu, small islands and developing states and big polluters on the other hand? it is actually... not surprisingly is more complex. suddenly i would say it is this more vulnerable countries that have been leading the charge. the eu with the new european council decision to aim

for 2050 net zero has stepped up and pushing harder. you have a number of countries stepping up and saying we need to make sure we have ambition, that we have clear text showing we will come back with high ambition on how to address the climate crisis and we need to make sure that, as the negotiators look to rules around the negotiators look to rules around the international carbon markets cash one of the big sticking point that in a number of countries thank rather not agree to rules if they are not robust enough. they say let's wait and do that later. we need environmental integrity to make sure we're not having counting of emissions or bringing in too much from previous periods which would explode the cabin budget. there are a lot pushing for integrity in those rules to make sure they are robust and would prefer not to go forward

if we are not able to get them robust. finance is another critical issue which we see big divides around. the prime minister has visited the north—east of england to thank voters in traditional labour heartlands for backing his party. borisjohnson met with supporters in newly—conservative sedgefield, tony blair's former constituency. the labour leaderjeremy corbyn is coming under increasing pressure to resign with immediate effect after his party's worst election results since the 1930s. 0ur political correspondent, iain watson, reports. good morning. a prime minister is a familiar sight in these parts, though it's usually been a labour and not a conservative one. so where better for borisjohnson to rub his opponent's nose in the election result than in tony blair's old stomping ground of sedgefield? i know that people may have been breaking the voting habits of generations to vote for us. and i want the people of the north—east to know that we in the conservative party

and i will repay your trust. so what issues will he have to focus on if he is to retain the trust of new supporters? i hope he does a good job, he's going to get brexit done and i hope he gets the nhs done, and education and everything else he's promised. mad hatter, really! that's how he comes across! but who knows, he might sort it out. jeremy corbyn was re—elected in islington, but his party's so—called ‘red wall‘ of labour seats was damaged or demolished in parts of the midlands and in north of england. he says he'll stay on until his successor is elected, but his long—standing critics just want him to go. well, i don't think you can have the proper, deep reflection that we need to have under a leadership of a person who thinks that a programme is all right, that he worked really hard and the only thing that was wrong was that the media didn't like him and that the brexit message was wrong.

when labour mps return here to westminster next week, they'll be a much diminished group, nearly 60 fewer of them than after the 2017 general election. the party is now looking for a new leader and a new deputy leader, and whilejeremy corbyn has called for a period of reflection, in truth, battles are likely to rage over the reasons for labour's defeat. and today, one of the leading figures in the leadership has announced that he is withdrawing from the frontline. the new leader will come in place, appoint the shadow cabinet — i won't be part of the shadow cabinet, i've done my bit — we need to move on at that stage with that new leader and i think we'll be in a position where we are learning lessons and listening to people. what was it? it was notjust brexit, there was a long history of maybe a0 years of neglect. chanting next week he will bring his brexit bill back to parliament, but for now, boris johnson is familiarising himself with territory that many thought would never go tory. iain watson, bbc news.

well, the uk election result is being analysed closely notjust here but abroad as well. the us democratic presidential candidatejoe biden has seized on labour's crushing defeat as proof that only a centrist can beat president donald trump in 2020. joel rubin, a democratic strategist who was a advisor to president 0bama, says it's not an equal comparison between us progressives and jeremy corbyn. it is certainly a self—serving comparison for him because he wants to be the moderate candidate in this race, and distinguish himself from the far—left in his view, and that meansjeremy corbyn, but it is not really an equal comparison by any stretch, and i think the thing we have to remember is thatjeremy corbyn didn't really have a message, and that is different from our liberal candidates in the democratic primary with bernie sanders and elizabath warren in the lead. they have a very strong message and in factjoe biden is seen as not having a very clear message

about what he wants to do so it is a bit of an inverse right there in that comparison. would bernie sanders and elizabath warren see themselves and part of the same overall movement as jeremy corbyn? i think they see themselves as progressives, but there is a major distinction between them and jeremy corbyn. first and foremost, corbyn‘s marxist agenda, an agenda that was incredibly socialist compared to what elizabath warren and bernie sanders are articulating about how the us government shouldn't engage, certainly there are policies in particular with medicare for all that are government—run but it is a far cry from what corbyn was advocating. then the big one, as well, which got a lot of attention here which was anti—semitism in the labour party, with bernie sanders and elizabath warren very clear and different views in condemning anti—semitism whichjeremy corbyn never touched.

when you were working for the 0bama administration did you ever look to the uk to see if there were any trends that might break on your side of the atlantic? yes, the one big moment that i remember quite clearly and i'm sure you do as well, which is the vote in the british parliament against striking syria back in 2013 after the chemical weapons attack, and that did play into our politics here quite a bit. there are obviously ripples that go back and forth between both societies and certainly the trend with borisjohnson in being a more nationalist leader and getting a lot of popularity from his positions as a uk—first type of agenda, and that is similar to donald trump, so there are echoes but they're not direct analogies in the particulars of this election... we have a very different structure to our system as well. let's get some of the day's other news: north korean state media say the country has conducted another crucial test

at a satellite launch site to bolster its strategic nuclear deterrence. the state news agency said it was a succesful test of great significance, without giving further details about what was being tested. negotiations between pyongyang and washington remain stalled over denuclearisation. southwest france has been hit by floods and gale—force winds. two men have been killed. 0ne died when his car hit a fallen tree during the storms, and the other man was swept away by rising floodwaters. five people have been injured, two seriously, when trees fell onto their vehicles. anti—government protesters in lebanon have clashed with riot police while trying to move into a square near the parliament building in beirut. the demonstrators had been staging a sit—in in another, nearby square. but they appear to have decided to move after an attempted attack by a group of masked men. stay with us on bbc news. still to come: sir rod stewart sets a new uk chart record.
