this is bbc news, i'm samantha simmons, the headlines at eight. we are out of time it will be just to meet make life or death decisions on climate change now. a warning from sir david attenborough. we've been putting things off year after year. we've been raising targets and saying oh, well, if we do it within the next 20 years or... the moment of crisis has,. us senate chief justicejohn roberts of crisis has,. us senate chief justice john roberts has of crisis has,. us senate chief justicejohn roberts has sworn in to preside over the impeachment trial proceeding start next week to decide if donald trump fate. knife crimes and with the wells the highest they have beenin been ina been in a decade. what went wrong for labour at the last election? 0ne of the candidates of the parties

leadership says they need to look back a lot further to find the answers. 0ne one in five debts around the world are due to the life—threatening conditions sepsis, a new study has revealed. we will be speaking to the uk sepsis trust on how to spot the symptoms. sir david attenborough says a moment of crisis has arrived for the world over climate change and action is needed. in some of his strongest comments yet, sir david says we have been putting matters off for too long. his warning comes as bbc news begins a year of special coverage on the subject of climate change ahead of the un's international conference in glasgow at the end of the year. here's our science editor david shukman.

a stunning view of our fragile planet, the blaze of lights evidence of the many impacts we're having on the globe. whole forests in madagascar cut down to create farmland. in germany, huge mines gouging out coal for power stations. cities sprawling into natural habitats, and all this a scale so large that it's even changing the climate, and the world now faces crucial decisions. the moment of crisis has come. sir david attenborough tells me time is running out. as i speak, south—east australia is on fire. why? because the temperatures of the earth have been increasing. that is a major international catastrophe, and to say it's nothing to do with the climate is palpably nonsense. and who have been affecting the climate? we have. we know that perfectly well.

the biggest cause of rising temperatures is well known. burning fuels like coal gives off gases that heat the planet, and more of this keeps happening. and we're all involved in this. nearly every home in the uk is heated by a gas boiler, and they also give off carbon dioxide. the result, in a warming world, is that the level of the oceans keeps rising, which means that flooding is set to become more frequent. and life in many countries, including parts of britain, with to much more extreme heatwaves and potentially much drier landscapes like this, the mediterranean section of the eden project here in cornwall. so a glimpse of what may be in store for some areas. the climate is already looking different. and it's striking how, over the last 170 years, the average global temperature has changed. relatively cool early on,

then getting warmer and warmer until the present day. for elizabeth thompson and anyone younger than 35, temperatures have been rising for their entire lives. from when she was born in 1989, every single month as she has grown up has been warmer than the long—term average. she hopes the rise will stop, but fears more severe heatwaves if it doesn't. if we're seeing more heatwaves and more extreme events like this and they're becoming more frequent, then i'm worried that when i'm older, we won't have the capacity to deal with those, especially if they're even worse than what we've previously experienced. but i am still optimistic because we are seeing a lot of action now notjust on an individual level, but at the local, national and global. one reason she is optimistic is the surge of climate protests by young people. and sir david attenborough is inspired by them as well. there has been a huge change in public opinion. people can see the problem.

particularly young people can see the problem. and that must force governments to take action. flashes of lightning in a warming world. it's a key year for negotiations on the future of the climate, and many hope it will be a turning point. david shukman, bbc news. in australia hundreds of bushfires continue to burn. so much forest has already been devastated but now firefighters are reluctantly having to cut down even more trees to try to create fire breaks and take away the fuel for the blazes. clive myrie joined one fire crew in new south wales. the fires eating this land have burnt from the mountains to the sea. in between, eucalyptus, bottlebrush and pine. it's hard, but save the forest and you save australia. man is having a terrible time trying to stop

what mother nature is doing to us. but this is definitely the worst fire season that i've seen and most of my colleagues will have ever seen. you see how the wind really influences what the fire's doing. zeb is charged with protecting 2.5 million acres of forest in the state of new south wales. several villages and towns are just a few miles away, right in the path of oncoming flames. it wouldn't be that active if it wasn't so windy. zeb‘s team has already cleared some scrub, taking away fuel for the fire, but wisps of smoke are creeping through like water under a door. how long before the main firefront appears? it's been a long bushfire season for zeb and his crew. it's 4.36 in the afternoon and we can't see anything. days bizarre when smoke has blocked out the light of the sun.

and frightening days when people died. but time's running out to stop the latest blaze spreading. more of the forest needs to be cleared to create a big enough firebreak. it's a real shame to have to do this. but these fires this season are not behaving normally. and if we don't start putting these breaks in to stop it, more fires are just going to burn. a nearby backburning. zeb‘s team deliberately ignites part of the forest, destroying fuel for the oncoming monster. well, this fire was litjust a couple of minutes ago and you can see how it has taken hold, blown by these really strong winds. and these are the conditions that the authorities have been having to deal with during this appalling bushfire season. night and day, fires are being deliberately lit by emergency crews.

this, the neighbouring state of victoria. but are the latest attempts to hold back the firefront working? so that's about the last of it, eh? it's all lit up now. good job. doesn't take much, does it? well done. that's got that contained anyway. zeb and his team have won this battle, but is australia winning the war? well, we're having a go and we're steering them and at times we can have small wins. we bite off small pieces. so we're not winning, but we're not losing either. clive myrie, bbc news, in southeast australia. the government is revealing proposed new laws under which farmers will be rewarded for protecting the environment, tackling climate change and boosting wildlife. the new agriculture bill will replace eu rules which mean farmers are paid according to how much land they own. soil protection is a core issue

at the heart of the bill — as there is three times more carbon held in soil than in the atmosphere, but losses of carbon are due to farming are fuelling climate change. more now from our science editor, david shukman, about the opportunities there might be for world leaders to take the action on climate change environmentalists say is massively overdue. verbal phrase the moment the crisis has come is really aimed at an event that do to take place here in glasgow later this year. at the climate centre across the river clyde behind me. that's were there could be what will be the largest gathering of foreign leaders on british soil ever. they will be here for a united nations summit on climate change that is widely regarded as readily important. it's an event where government is coming here and are meant to come up with

more ambitious and tougher targets for cutting their emissions of the gases like carbon dioxide and we all know are hitting a planet. at the moment, globally, those emissions are still going up rather than down as climate scientists say they must. this will be a key test, this event, and will be british diplomacy, united nations efforts for the course of this year to try to prepare for the summit and try to encourage key governments around the world and step up and take the kind of action that sir david and many others that is needed. and the bbc news channel will be in glasgow tomorrow, focussing on climate change. we want to put your questions on this complex issue to our experts. you can do so on twitter using the hashtag #bbcyourquestions and you can email us on yourquestions@bbc.co.uk. please remember to leave your name and where you are from. businesses have also been laying out their plans for tackling the climate emergency. the world's largest food company nestle is pledging to spend

£1.6 billion to increase the availabilty of recyclable plastics for use in the food industry. today microsoft has pledged to remove "all of the carbon" from the environment that it has emitted since its was founded in 1975. chief executive satya nadella said he wanted to achieve the goal by 2050. to do so, the company will become "carbon negative" by 2030, removing more carbon from the environment than it emits. so what are businesses and councils here in the uk doing to make an impact on reducing carbon emissions? stroud council in gloucestershire was the first council in europe to be carbon neutral. green councillor simon pickering is chair of its environment. in siu now. welcome to you, thank you so for being with us. quite an achievement and i guess what we all wa nt to achievement and i guess what we all want to know is how have you done it was yellow it's a combination of a cts a cross was yellow it's a combination of acts across a whole load of different things. mainly insulating peoples houses, private houses to

reduce their carbon emissions we've also insulated counsel houses and pumps and solar panels on them. cut the emissions in our counsel buildings, we also put solar panels on both of our latest sensors and combined heat and power boilers. we actually know how much carbon emissions we admit and saving more of our interventions then we are actually emitting. we have not declared to climate change emergency just last year as we did take much more actions. which we have just only started. we have gone com pletely only started. we have gone completely electric or hybrid, and i think we are putting the carbon neutral policies in our purchasing policy, our business plan and our audit plan. it's all part of the council business that's ingrained in with the council is doing. so credit

to you for implementing these policies but a lot of them are expensive, aren't they? solar panels on counsel buildings, electric and hybrid cars, how are you paying for it all when many councils are criticising the government for budget cuts? it's expensive and in the past we have been very savvy of getting government grants and various investment and borrowing actually to invest in our counsel houses. we borrowed for their money to do that. certainly there is a need for government funding to match council funding but also need for government funding to match councilfunding but also private individuals. the average citizen probably emits i2 individuals. the average citizen probably emits 12 to 13 tonnes of carbon a year, only about half of that the council government could do anything about. the other half is personal behaviour and majority. it's a pact between local government, national government and people to take action. and having a shift in personal behaviour towards more environmental policies? yes,

and stroud, what are the things we reintroduced a new recycling scheme a couple of years ago and people really took to it. recycling their food waste which goes into an anaerobic digestive and put back into the grid. we now throw away less waste than any other local authority in the country. so they think a key role of councils is to enable and allow people who want to do something to take action. you say you've just started but your counsel is kind of a head of the game, it's nearly 25 years but your counsel started thinking about being environmentally friendly and the government is committed to net zero k carbon emissions by 2050 will stop give us some advice for other councils who might be listening from around the country. who are far larger than yours and perhaps might have greater challenges than you have greater challenges than you have locally. the key thing is to

monitor accurately what your carbon emissions are and to understand them. and identify where the big things are in the easy wins are. but also think long—term. it's not the cycle of a counsel, counsellors collected for every four years. you need to think long term it was the long—term investments and how limited do it over the next ten yea rs ? limited do it over the next ten years? these are going to be the next ten years and will be are doing in our local plank of our local plant is not consultation at the moment we have said hopefully the government will excepted that all new buildings and stroud district will be carbon zero, but also proposing areas within our district for new wind farms and solar panels. so actually taking these long—term views more than the electoral cycle you need to do. thank you very much for talking to us. good advice there. the headlines on bbc news...

we are out of time and reallyjust need to make life or death decisions on climate change now in a warning from sir david attenborough. us senate chief justice us senate chiefjustice john us senate chiefjusticejohn roberts is born and to preside over the impeachment of donald trump and proceeding start next week to decide donald trump is my fate. but if i debts around the world is due to the life—threatening conditions sepsis. we speak to the uk sepsis trust about how to spot the symptoms. sport and for a full round up, from the bbc sportscenter, thanks very much. let's start with the slow going for england in day one of the third test against south africa. they closed on twitter 2a 44 newport elizabeth and joe wilson was watching. south africa's captain could foresee many scenarios when the test began. it is what they saw. england batting with

the assurance. they reach lunch without losing a wicket. crawley and sibley, the signs were encouraging. but south africa set a trap specifically a fielder right there. they called for 36 and as crawley would have seen that they did not stop him falling for it. gone for 44. in the catchy reaction to one of the days highlights. the columnist at the portal elizabeth coast was sometimes matched by the tranquility of the cricket. slow going. any a fast bowler does that it's triumph. but he had just dismissed the england captain so drained every drop of celebration. every drop. it's a tight match but a tight

series but only pope back and ben stokes will both resume and in one scenario stokes will both resume and in one scenario tomorrow stokes will both resume and in one scenario tomorrow both batsmen could ta ke scenario tomorrow both batsmen could take control will stop joe scenario tomorrow both batsmen could take control will stopjoe wilson, bbc news. manchester united have agreed a deal to sell actually young after eight and a half years at old trafford. the fee for the former england international is around £1.3 million. it does include add—ons and he will have a medical in milan. staying with football and the championship side derby county could base a points deduction after being charged by the football league for a breach of spending rules. it relates to these losses in the three years up to these losses in the three years up tojune to these losses in the three years up to june 2018 to these losses in the three years up tojune 2018 despite the sale of their stadium. rules around championships clubs to lose £39 million of red three year period. the american 15—year—old coco gauff will take on venus williams in this

britain's most decorated female 0lympian and the current chair of uk sport game catherine granger. the england have been drawn to pay. scotla nd england have been drawn to pay. scotland and group b along the defending champions australia. ireland have been drawn alongside new zealand in groups the while tonga are among the sides. south wells will face in group. a tough draw for the coach. paul kr coach tony smith has confirmed that the forward's entry is career injuring. had to undergo emergency surgery after suffering the entry in a preseason game on thursday. since think that it will be a success at the 30—year—old is able to walk again. now finally sean murphy is rude to the semi finals of the masters degree after beating joe perry the 73. the action is continuing at alexandra palace tonight which has higgins taking on ally carter and you can watch the

match there from the bbc sport website and the app. that's all the sport for now, lots more on sports at half past ten. record number of people and include a wealth of the a record number of people in england and wales have been cautioned or convicted for carrying knives — according to the latest figures. the ministry ofjustice says more than fourteen thousand cases were dealt with by police and the courts in the year to the end of september. the government has said it wants to make tackling knife crime a priority. retired metropolitan police superintendent leroy logan served with the force for 30 years. he is now a knife crime adviser and chair of the london independent youth safety advisory board. welcome to you, thank you very much for coming into talk about this. these numbers reflect a greater use of stop and search, or actual real rise carrying knives with yellow is more of a rise of people carrying knives and other weapons because of the fear factor, they are scared of other people carrying knives, and that normalisation of violence as

increased over the last ten or 20 yea rs. increased over the last ten or 20 years. i've been running a charity called voyage youth for the last 20 yea rs, called voyage youth for the last 20 years, and the young people feel under protected by the police and they feel alienated. and you have austerity and that disconnect between community cops and police. they are not feeling safe and secure and unfortunately the normalisation of violence and carrying weapons is that toxic mix we are seeing now. not the first time we have talked about the rising knife crime, just last year it was said that this was a national emergency. have the government really taken their eye off of this? think andrew marr said that the mayor and the home or terry have fallen asleep at the wheel. they have not taken the seriously enough for the last, i would say come or three years. because they could easily change overnight. they could easily change overnight. they could change the narrative. don't try and scare people, drop the knife

or go to prison, because they're already scared for one and a lot of them suffer from adverse childhood experiences, toxic stress. and then don't you know, you could reduce exclusions because once a child is excluded under proper alternative positions you might as well write the date when you're going into prison for getting involved in crime. but that cannot change overnight. 0f crime. but that cannot change overnight. of these numbers we are going to go up this year and there's been a massive recruitment drive across the country especially here in what where knife crime is a real problem. but also things like exclusion, once that young person is out of the system as you say the needs to be far more attention paid to them in investment and youth services. surely that's a long—term approach. but the narrative, working with young people, they don't feel safe and secure, that partnership approach. we talked about the public health approach and a lot of that is around working with early intervention programmes making sure that cultural intelligence and awareness of the target group of people you have to work with and

making sure that you have got, you know, proper safeguarding agencies working together to identify the risks and protect people from getting into this normalisation of violence. you question whether stop and search works in this for a question for many years. many critics of it say it alienates young people and causes more problems but for verbal a credit an increase in stop and search for the decrease in their murder rate. what is your view on it was a lot like everything, if you're going to use stop and search, it's a blunt tool but is sharpened up it's a blunt tool but is sharpened up by it's a blunt tool but is sharpened up by cultural intelligence from that community group. you have to sharpen it up by working with the community. the important thing is if the police think, or you think they're acting on your permission they're acting on your permission they're more likely to get you intelligence. for even go to court. so that's the thing you need to start building back and making people feel that you're going to act

on their crime because unfortunately people have reported stabbings and shootings, and they feel that police have not done enough. just briefly you've been up to scotland to see how they tackle knife crime and the minutes to stop it over a 10—year period what lessons did we learn from that? change the narrative. reduce government exclusions. really get the causes of crime focused and not just the crime get the causes of crime focused and notjust the crime itself. and understand that it's a long—term process that other agencies have to work a coordinated fashion, i would like to think that all of that will give more reassurance to make us have seep to the next thank you. prince harry has carried out what may well be his last royal engagement for a while — after he and his wife, meghan announced they would be "stepping back" from their roles as senior royals. prince harry hosted the draw for next year's

rugby league world cup at buckingham palace. 0ur royal correspondent nick witchell has more still of which includes the lyrics i'd like to leave the country for a month of sundays. it was at buckingham palace in the palace gardens even in his element talking to young people about sports, rugby to young people about sports, rugby to be super precise. and those who we re to be super precise. and those who were with harry that he was relaxed, authentic and engaged. but you didn't really need to be told that — you could see it in his face and his actions. reporters tried to ask questions about his future. unsurprisingly, they were ignored. the occasion was the draw for the 2021 rugby league world cup, to be staged in england. harry was being harry. well done! the old harry, someone said. he was there as patron of the rugby league.

that's one of those things that the royals do. and something else harry has done is highlight mental illness in sport. it's a cause which matters to him. the perception of rugby league is that you need to be tough. you can't show your feelings. you have to grin and bear it. but something like the mental fitness charter will help us make real progress in getting rid of the stigma associated with mental illness. by this time next week, harry will probably be several thousand miles away, beginning a somewhat semi—detached royal life with his wife. there will be fewer occasions like this. his easy charm will be missed. nicholas witchell, bbc news. the white house broke the law by withholding aid to ukraine that donald trump is accused of abuse of

power and objection of congress arrested his dealings with ukraine. and obstructing congress — it's alleged he tried to pressurise ukraine, to dig dirt on one of his political rivals, joe biden. donald trump insists he did nothing wrong. but to show you the scene live in the white house where donald trump is making an announcement, we don't think it is about the impeachment trial, but we 0ur correspondent gary 0'donoghue is in washington for us. forgets of the day up on what has been happening in the senate today succulent not just any been happening in the senate today succulent notjust any old justice from the supreme court, but the chiefjustice. from the supreme court, but the chief justice. sworn from the supreme court, but the chiefjustice. sworn and effectively from this impeachment trial kick off at lunchtime here next tuesday. 100 senators all have been sworn in as effectively as jurors but this is no ordinary kind of legal trial as you andi ordinary kind of legal trial as you and i would understand it. this is a political process and they will get to decide what evidence they get to hear, how they set the rules of the

trial, they are bothjurors hear, how they set the rules of the trial, they are both jurors and judges all the same time. that will kick off next tuesday as i say and it has the articles of impeachment delivered by the house and now there will be a battle during the trial to see if there's any other witnesses called. democrats want to hear from some people like john called. democrats want to hear from some people likejohn bolton describe the whole business between president trump and ukraine the pressure being put on as to democrats want to if they force witnesses to be brought that what you hear from joe biden, witnesses to be brought that what you hearfrom joe biden, the man the president allegedly was trying... we are going to go to the white house because donald trump is speaking about this, let's listen in. he was also the greatest mayor in the history of the city of new york, i think rudy was truly an outstanding mayor as an example. his endorsement of bloomberg got the bloomberg

elected, he would not have even been mayor. rudy was the greatest crime—fighter and the is somebody that, frankly, having him on my side was a great honour for me and has beena was a great honour for me and has been a great honour for me. rudy giuliani has been a phenomenaljob over a long rate of time in fighting crime, and frankly he is a very legitimate guy, every straight shooter. i didn't know what the specific letter but if you wrote a letter it would not be a big deal. rudy was always, it was very important to rudy that i did a great president and that's ok with me. very important to a lot of people because our country was going to hell, and our country is on in decades and decades will stop we have never done better. go ahead no, not you go ahead. which your view on how long the trial should take? it's a hoax, it's a hoax and everybody knows that. it's a complete hoax. the whole thing with ukraine. so you have a perfect phone call, this is a

call fortunately it was to phone calls. both protocols and effect of the among the nicest calls i have made to foreign leaders. we've made these perfect calls and everybody says it now, before they knew there we re says it now, before they knew there were so says it now, before they knew there were so good because fortunately they were transcribed. you had people saying it's of the calls you had a fake whistle—blower that had a report that had the relationship of what was said. everything was false. we have the ukrainian president and the foreign minister of ukraine saying there was nothing wrong and there was no pressure so ever. it was fairly partisan at 100 95 to nothing. a democrat actually came over to the republican side. 195 —— zero. this is a hoax. it's a shame.

we had other things to. the deal with china and that was the second story to a total hoax. today we have just passed the us nca. going to ta ke just passed the us nca. going to take the place of nafta which is a terrible deal. president trumps ticking an hour ago the white house occu pa nt of ticking an hour ago the white house occupant of the impeachment trial in the phone call at the heart of it with the uk premium —— ukrainian president andy simpler create all of this and he says it's totally partisan all of hoax. here you are listening on that i don't think really hurt anything we have not heard before the president. there was some move potentially to have a vote to dismiss the whole trial straight up which would have been incredibly quick, but it looks

like the republicans are shying away from that a little because there are a small number of republicans who are wobbling a bit. not enough to commit the president, 67 votes are needed to remove him, but potentially enough to keep the trial going for a couple of weeks and possibly agree with the democrats and calling more witnesses so there's plenty of twist and turns less and —— left in this process, evenif less and —— left in this process, even if we are pretty sure that the in result will be president trump will not be taken out of the white house. thank you gary. that was donald trump talking in the white house. time for a look at the weather. we had another batch of wet and windy weather bearing down, that's all tied in with this area of low pressure. the bane they blend will clear out as a friday, but there are showers following and some

very strong winds coming into the west of scotland as well. the rain in the wind combined making for some quite tricky driving conditions. there he quite tricky driving conditions. there be lots of spray and water, but elsewhere there will be a few showers but we could get to frost levels so there could be icy patches for each thing. then it's a day of sunny spells and showers. the air is cold enough for wintering us over the hills but just cold enough for wintering us over the hills butjust about anywhere could have a hail shower, a thunder shower, and it will feel chillier. it's colder air and there will be some blustery winds but generally, won't be as strong as today. the winds fall much lighter this weekend, high pressure brings much more settled conditions. this is bbc news. the headlines. 0ut of time and world leaders need to

make life or death decisions on climate change now. a warning from sir david attenborough. we have been putting things off year after year. we've been raising targets, saying "0h we've been raising targets, saying "oh well, if we do it next year." the moment of crisis has come. us senate chief justice the moment of crisis has come. us senate chiefjusticejohn the moment of crisis has come. us senate chief justice john robert will preside over the impeachment trial. figures show the number of crimes in england and wales are the highest they've been in a decade. what went wrong for labour in the last election. 0ne what went wrong for labour in the last election. one of the candidates, sir kier starmer, says they need to look back a lot further to find the answers. 20% of global deaths are due to sepsis, a new study has revealed. we will speak to the trust about how to spot the symptoms.

more on sir david attenborough. he says the moment of crisis has come. most of us are concerned about this issue, what can we as individuals do to improve our world. let's speak now to do to improve our world. environmental author and journalist lucy siegle, who specialises in the impact of fashion on the environment and how it contributes to climate change. what is that impact on the environment —— fascism has that on the the environment? the cotton or cracking, the oil to create synthetic fibres right through to the runways or catwalks and collections online or in the high street, and it equates to about 1.2 billion tonnes of carbon a year. that's what's been mapped. it's a huge footprint, the world resources institute puts the footprint of the

industry at 8% in carbon terms which is up there with aviation and shipping combined. the thing that we have to be really conscious of is the production has not piqued according to the industry, so we're buying more close and producing over 100 billion garments a year from resources “— 100 billion garments a year from resources —— virgin resources, and this has a huge impact. it has an impact on 25% of the world's this has a huge impact. it has an impact on 25% of the worlds to michael's and 20% of water pollution because it's not just michael's and 20% of water pollution because it's notjust carbon emissions. we know water scaled city isa emissions. we know water scaled city is a huge problem. —— water scarcity. you can see it equates to a massive footprint and by 2050, fashion is slated if it's a massive footprint and by 2050, fashion is slated if its left unchecked, it will be responsible for a quarter of our entire global carbon budget, and i think that would be a big issue for many, many

people. yeah, a big issue. resorts should just it hasn't peaked yet, why are we still buying? it fills a doesn't it? as you said in your intro, i have done a lot of work over 15 years on this industry, and i've gone back to the 1770s where the spinning jenny was augmented and at that point, the fashion cycle sped up so you could produce much quicker and ready to wear became a thing and already by the 1800s, you had gentlemen writing to publications for texting that their housemate was buying too many dresses and presumably, they were trying to fill the same void that we are all trying to fill. why do we consume that's the question. what has happened is that faster and has gotten faster and faster and in the last 20 to 30 years we've seen an

aggressive up shoring production, we've seen fashion transforming. in the british isle, what's produced a huge amount of garments and that has all gone to low—wage textile fashion production hotspots famously places like bangladesh and vietnam, and the volume has just increased and increased and increased but it's also the character of the close. we are now in of phase where we are getting faster and faster fashion, but it's also made more and more of polyester and plastic fibres and that gives us an extra planetary burden because we can't get rid of that plastic. it's not going to fade away, it's not going to biodegrade, and it's become a very big source of pollution as well so we are actually exacerbating the problem. fashion is predicted to increase by 63% in 2030 which is the equivalent of adding 500 billion extra t—shirts, so we need to tackle this really fast. we

need to tackle this really fast. we need to tackle this really fast. we need to reign in ourfashion buying. really interesting, so many facts there. thank you. children in scotland could be banned from heading footballs during training because of fears over the links to dementia. its understood the scottish f—a will introduce the changes later this month after a report found that former players have a higher risk of dying from the disease. the english football association say more research is needed. here s our sports news correspondent, chris mclaughlin. 0n the outskirts of glasgow, children training for their local football team. in a few weeks' time these players and others under the age of 12 across scotland will be told no headers. it's all because of a study that found former players are three and a half times more likely to die from dementia. when you're older you can do it but maybe not when you're younger because you may get hurt because there are

bowls. ball should be played the study conducted confirmed what many people feared, there is a link between dementia and football. what the findings didn't show is why. the scottish fa are taking no chances. we can't wait on the evidence, we need to take some sensible problematic states —— steps. that was a massive part of my game. managers bought me because i can have the ball. i think it's the right decision. if ultimately it's got to stop players, young kids especially getting illnesses. the family of the farmer west from stryker who died of dementia into thousand two, have been campaigning for the english football authorities

they target problem gamblers. except it needs to do more and said they had already taken steps to protect vulnerable customers. one of the candidates for the labour leadership, sir keir stamer, has warned that after losing four elections in a row, his party risks "missing the facts" if it only looks at what went wrong in the last election. he said the factions in the labour party had ‘got to go' and that he could pull the party together and restore trust in it. as part of our series of interviews with the labour leadership candidates, he's been speaking to the bbc‘s political editor, laura kuenssberg in his north london constituency i think what labour needs is a leader who is capable of restoring trust in the labour party as a force for good and a force for change. you were a very prominent part ofjeremy corbyn's team and it went down in a terrible defeat, so you were part of the problem. why should you be part of the solution?

there are many reasons we just lost the election in 2019, but we've lost four. we've lost four elections in a row and therefore, identifying a particular thing in this election isn't going to help. but on two big issues, the brexit plan, you were in charge of that, and anti—semitism, racism againstjewish people that the party didn't take seriously enough. you say that now, but you were in the room at the top table. we need to understand what's happened. as i said, i didn't meet anybody on the election trail who said "everything is fine, i don't want anything to change." people were crying out for change. theyjust didn't believe our party was the party that could deliver that change. we need to unify the party and i think i can do that. we spent far too much time fighting ourselves and not fighting the tories. factions have been there in the labour party. they've got to go. i went to leeds university then i went to oxford university studying law, i then became director of public

prosecution and came into parliament in 2015. i, kier starmer, do solemnly, sincerely and truly declare... 0nly five short years ago, it seems like 50 years worth of change have been shoved into those five years. you say you're a moral socialist, what does that mean in practice? what i see is inequality everywhere. you see it in every community and you'll see it in these communities here, and i don'tjust mean wealth and income, i mean influence and health. and i've never walked past those sorts of wrongs and injustices. if i was to ask you if your politics are closer to the politics of tony blair or the politics ofjeremy corbyn, where would you put yourself on that spectrum? look, tony blair was addressing problems a quarter of a century ago, and jeremy corbyn took us through four really difficult years. but it's notjust about the period of time, it's about the spectrum within the labour party... it is about spectrum, but i want to lead a labour party

that is trusted enough to bring about fundamental change. i don't need somebody else's name badge in order to do that, and what we forget in all of this is that all the leaders of the labour party, all the teams of leaders, they have to do it for the circumstances as they are. 0ne labour party member told us on monday this week that kier starmer is very sensible, but sensible's not very appealing. did you get that? throughout this leadership campaign, you're going to get different views from everybody on all of the candidates, and i completely accept that. you need someone who is able to, as it were, be capable of being respected and seen as someone who is trustable and trusted across the whole of the united kingdom. some people think you're out for a decade now. it's a mountain to climb, but i'm determined to climb that mountain. laura kuenssberg, bbc news.

kier starmer says he is a man to unite the party, what are his chances? he's one of two favourites at the moment certainly, and his appeal, he hopes is that he's not picking sides and some of the factionalism we've seen in the party in the last four or five years. he's vaguely saying tony blair was all right but so isjeremy corbyn and both them had their merits and are now trying to build on both of them. his main competitor at the moment is rebecca long—bailey and she is seen as the candidate, and just today, momentum, what help jeremy as the candidate, and just today, momentum, what helpjeremy corbyn when the elections that he won —— he would win, the vast majority of the members responded to —— they want bailey to be leader. the two of them

look like, they're definitely the favourites but the other three are going to keep going. we've seen this before in elections, there is a lot to play for, a lot could change. there will be many different arguments about exactly what labour needs to do to get back into power. that issue of trust that kier starmer mentioned is what they are all talking about, they‘ re starmer mentioned is what they are all talking about, they're all wanting to saying "follow my lead." 0ut out of time and world leaders need to make life or death decisions on climate change. the us senate chief justicejohn roberts climate change. the us senate chief justice john roberts is climate change. the us senate chief justicejohn roberts is sworn into preside over the impeachment trial next week to decide donald trump on my fate. 0ne next week to decide donald trump on my fate. one in five deaths around the world are due to the life—threatening condition sepsis

afterwards, the canadian foreign minister called for a full investigation. in the way of such a horrific tragedy, there are many questions. families want answers. all of the countries assembled here today want answers and the international community wants a nswe rs. international community wants answers. the world is waiting for those answers and we will not rest until we get them. the most comprehensive study of sepsis around the world has found it has claimed the lives of an 11 million people a year. more than die globally from cancer. sepsis is triggered when the immune system's response to an infection is out of balance and can become life threatening. the figures from the university of washington are twice as high as previous estimates. the problem is most acute in sub—saharan africa. joining me now is dr ron daniels,

founder and chief executive of the uk sepsis trust. figures are quite staggering, why are they so large? as you said, this is the most robust study we've ever had on sepsis. cancer s estimated to claim 1.96 many of these people will have underlying conditions but the reality is for many, this process is reversible. what happens when they do go to hospital and they present with this because we know that up until a few years ago, there was limited knowledge about this, even within the health community, and people were dying because it wasn't caught early enough. we've made huge progress in the united clean my kingdom —— united kingdom. we have helped present nationals that are better educated around sepsis that are actively looking for symptoms. we have hospital —— we have gps and

other health professionals in the community also receiving education, so we are doing a lot better than we were, but still some people are falling through the net. the deppe rate in the uk —— the death rate here is higher in other countries, why is that? we have to take these figures in the spirit in which they are appended. this is based on coded data. these are not perfect figures and they don't for certain tell us the death rates in the uk are higher than in other countries. there are other countries in europe within the study that have higher mortality than in the uk, for example germany. what these data tell us to do is to work with governments to work with agencies to make sure we improve our understanding of this condition so that we can better measure it in the future. of course really importantly so the viewers know what the warning signs are of sexes. we all know

having an affection feels like. if something is triggering an alarm bell, something is triggering an alarm hell, he prepared to phone note 111 and ask if it is sepsis. if you are really worried, there are six key symptoms. we have asked for slurred speech, e for extreme pain in the muscles, p for passing no you're in, as first appear, i for it feels like i'm going to die. anyone of those six and the symptoms are on our website and the nhs website. get yourself straightaway. are you confident that if you do get yourself to a any you will be seen quickly enough, because there are again too many cases and horror stories of dying unnecessarily. we rarely hear of when things are done very well and when people survive.

what you always hear is the horror stories. the reality is, within the nhs, people are doing better now than they used to. now 80% of people who present to hospital in the timely fashion are given the right treatment quickly. 0f timely fashion are given the right treatment quickly. of course that still means that 20% of people are falling through the gap, and we need to work harder to address this. this isa to work harder to address this. this is a partnership between the public who are aware, and health professionals looking for sepsis. thank you. cocaine—related deaths are at record levels in britain — they've doubled in england and wales and tripled in scotland since 2015. at the same time more and more people are ending up in hosptial after taking the drug and it's putting a lot of pressure on the nhs. according to new figures for england the number of hospital admissions for cocaine poisoning since 2015 has increased from two and a half thousand to more than 4 thousand. that is a 76 per cent rise. hospital admissions for mental disorders caused by cocaine
