hello, you are watching afternoon live. the city of glasgow wants to become carbon neutral in the next ten years — leading the fight against climate change. carbon neutral by 2030 is a big challenge, it's certainly one that we're taking very seriously, and it's not enough for a few people in the council to be working on it. it's a challenge that everybody has to take part in, that we need to get everybody across the city engaged with, and that we need to be working on now. how h ow exa ctly how exactly will glasgow deliver on that goal? what sort of change is needed and how quickly? i'm at the glasgow science centre where i will be putting those questions to our guests throughout the afternoon. psychiatrists call for social media companies to hand over their data — so they can research what the online

world does to children's mental health. a new focus on the talent of neuro diverse employees in the workplace. and the coin made for the king who abdicated sells for £1 million. and coming up in sport later in the hour on bbc news. england's cricketers are making a healthy total against south africa. heading for a big total, yes, in the third test match with south africa, with ben stokes and ollie pope both scoring centuries. chris has got the weather. a dry weekend? it is true, weather. a dry weekend? it is true, we will be looking at the reasons why we will have a change from what has been a wet and windy week of weather, do something which will be dry and settled and sunny for the vast majority. i will be back later to explain more. chris, thanks. and three brothers together break three

world records as they row across the atla ntic world records as they row across the atlantic ocean in just 35 days. hello, this is afternoon live. glasgow could become the first city in the uk to become completely carbon—neutral. it's promising to do so within the next ten years — that will mean radically cutting emissions. glasgow hosts an international summit on climate change later this year — and we're looking at the changes the city is making as part of our series our planet matters. my colleague annita mcveigh is in glasgow this lunchtime. good afternoon from the glasgow science centre. collaboration,

cooperation, getting people in the room together at the same time, the right people, those are the recurring ideas i've been hearing so far today in glasgow when it comes to tackling climate change in weather that is on a micro level or a much larger scale in glasgow. we are here for a couple of reasons. later this year in november the un climate summit will take place across the river clyde here at the glasgow sec exhibition centre, and around 200 world leaders will gather here and many tens of thousands more, associated with the summit, to try and deliver an international solution to the climate emergency. as martin mentioned, glasgow wants to talk the talk but also walk the walk, to set itself as an example, becoming carbon neutral by the end of this decade. our science editor has been out and about in the city to find out more about how the city

proposes to do just that. the morning rush hour in glasgow. commuters pour into scotland's biggest city, nearly all their cars releasing pollution. motorways run straight through glasgow. for decades, the car has been king. but now there is a radical plan to go carbon neutral. new charging points for electric vehicles are being installed. the aim is to make the city green in ten years. and the council's gritting lorries are going to be adapted to run on clean hydrogen, as well as diesel. but this is only one very small part of a long list of what needs to be done. how big a challenge is it? getting to carbon neutral by 2030 is a big challenge, it's certainly one that we're taking very seriously, and it's not enough for a few people in the council to be working on it. it's a challenge that everybody has to take part in,

that we need to get everybody across the city engaged with, and that we need to be working on now. already, more and more of the uk's electricity is becoming carbon free. here on the edge of glasgow is one of europe's largest wind farms. there are big plans for many more turbines, and more solar panels, but going totally carbon neutral won't be easy. we've done some studies recently which show that we need to start installing 4000 heat pumps and electric vehicle charging points every day across the uk... every day? every day, in order to meet the targets that we've set ourselves for becoming carbon neutral. is that remotely feasible? if we start now. hardest of all will be making glasgow's housing greener, and that's the case across the country because most homes are heated by gas. the mass of pipes being worked on here is part of a scheme to draw warmth from the river clyde and use it to heat an entire district. we're not burning anything on the site,

that's the beauty of it... i asked dave pearson, who is in charge of the project, if glasgow is really on course to be carbon neutral. i don't think so, i think in all honesty, momentum is all about progress. there's lots of ideas, lots of talk, but we need to actually decide that the city will become gas free by a date and how best to do that. at the moment, we haven't even started. it's hard to believe, as things stand, how glasgow or any major city could possibly be carbon neutral in as little as ten years' time. but the council says it wants to send the signal that at least it's trying. and this matters because an international summit on climate change is due to take place here in november, and the world will be watching what this city does. david shukman, bbc news, in glasgow. we arejoined by we are joined by our scotland correspondent, lorna gordon. uk target is 2050 but scotland is 2045,

glasgow at 2030 is the most ambitious, but what details has the city authorities actually set out about how they propose to do this? there are other cities in the uk who are also aiming for 2030, to be carbon neutral, and they have a set of recommendations and at the moment they are looking at 61 in total and we hope a decision will be forthcoming in the next few months in which ideas they will take forward when it comes to glasgow. some of the ideas are quite obvious, like more pedestrianisation, more cycle routes, to encourage people out of their cars, others are slightly more ambitious, if you like. like the council setting up its own bus company and may be the bus company will offer free travel to people living here to encourage them out of their cars, but there are challenges to ideas like that. there is the greater glasgow area as well, so other councils will have to

buy into this and there may be financial implications. another big area when it comes to transport is electric cars, how do you encourage people to use electric cars?|j electric cars, how do you encourage people to use electric cars? i spoke to someone from scottishpower early and they have delivered a couple of electric buses which they say require the equivalent of 40 houses worth of electricity to charge. and then you have the question of the electricity not being carbon neutral and the question of whether the grid has the capability to allow that transport to flourish in the way people hope. there is a massive coordinated effort that would be needed. yes, the council is very clear on that, there has to be buy in from government and big business, people like scottishpower, business has to look at more circular economy, usage, and individuals like us, we have to change the way we

live in the way we travel and the way we heat our homes. how do we move from gas heating to other community—based heating? the council says this will not be easy and they says this will not be easy and they say that obviously a lot of people have other priorities like paying bills, to do with housing, and they say some of the decisions they make will not be popular, in terms of car restraints. car park charging. bus lanes, for instance. but they say they have reached the point where doing nothing is not an option and a change has to come and it has to come fast. it is a shift in psychology and lots of people saying it is right that glasgow should be this ambitious, because there is no alternative but to be ambitious, but what do you think, what is your assessment as to whether it can deliver on this goal by the end of this decade? it is ambitious and it is very challenging and i think the council itself would concede this is a very challenging target but may be

what they are hoping is that they will be small incremental steps in lots of different areas and this will lead to significant changes, maybe not enough to hit 2030, but aim high, set an example, maybe not enough to hit 2030, but aim high, setan example, most of the world lives in cities and therefore it is in cities where the changes have got to come, and set an example especially because cop26 is coming to glasgow this year. lorna, thanks forjoining us. that is a big focus at the end of the year, the un climate conference that we were talking about earlier. you can of course go to the website to find out more about what you can do about change. the glasgow school of art said may

be glasgow can be the creative glue that leads the way on trying to tackle the climate emergency by offering solutions and ideas and the solutions to problems as well in terms of design, services and products. much more interesting discussion throughout the afternoon, i will talk to a range of people involved in this effort to make glasgow carbon neutral by the end of the decade, but for now back to the studio. studio: thanks forjoining us. leading psychiatrists have said companies like facebook should be forced to hand over their data to researchers, so they can study whether social media technology is harmful to children. the royal college of psychiatrists wants independent experts to assess how youngsters are affected by their experiences online, amid concern from parents and schools. here's angus crawford. she had so much to offer. molly russell's death... and that's gone. ..sparked a national outcry.

these are companies that count their profits in the billions, and they turn round and say to us that they can't protect our children? questions about young people and mental health. do you have the power to compel them to do what you think needs to be done? yes, absolutely. focussing public anger on the tech giants and demands for greater regulation. announced in the queen's speech, the government's plans for a new independent regulator and a statutory duty of care. my ministers will develop legislation to improve internet safety for all. but the royal college of psychiatrists wants tougher action. social—media companies are very wealthy, they have got a huge amount of knowledge, they can create complex algorithms which hook young people into their platforms. why can't they be using that same amount of energy, knowledge and funding to try and harness the positive benefits, and help try and protect children and young people more? tech giants should be forced to share data with university researchers. and be taxed on their global turnover.

new apps should be designed to be age—appropriate. molly russell's father ian fully backs the plans. and if there was a levy that was forced upon them so that they had to pay, it would be a tiny amount in terms of their profits, but it only needs to provide for good, proper academic research with anonymised data so that the whole world can better understand the sort of problems that are driving young people into desperate places. radical solutions which may not be popular with an industry making billions from the children using its products. angus crawford, bbc news. we have a guest from the big brother watch group now, what is your view on the idea of gathering data so we can look at the impact of online

abuse? gathering data and doing research is very welcome and a very good idea, but what we are very cautious about is any call that suggests that data subjects, those using social media platforms, are taken out of the equation. it is important for trust online and people's data rights and their health and well—being that when they are using the internet, they feel they have full control over who has their data, where it goes and what purposeit their data, where it goes and what purpose it is used for, and what we are cautious about is the suggestion that it should be between researchers and big tech companies, not involving the users themselves who should have autonomy to decide how their data is used and be empowered to make those decisions. how can young children under the age of16, 18, who might be how can young children under the age of 16, 18, who might be of interest to these researchers because they are at the very impressionable age,

how can they give consent when for everything else they are regarded as too young to do so? very good question. it goes to show where there is a disparity between how research ethics normally work and what it sounds like might be being suggested here, because normally when you conduct research for people who are under age you need to get pa rental who are under age you need to get parental consent and you don't have control over how your data is used, you can withdraw at any time, which is very different to saying once you are engaged in a social media platform your data flies away and it can be used for research purposes and you may not know about this and you may not consent to it. it is important to say this is happening in the context of forthcoming online hamas regulation which is causing a lot of anxiety —— harms regulation. they have been warnings about the sense of loss of control, and some of the other proposals within the

online harm sphere are also about more monitoring and less privacy and more monitoring and less privacy and more monitoring and less privacy and more monitoring are free to —— of freedom of expression which is not beneficial to anybody at all. this might be for the greater good towards producing policy which will protect young people, though. what is to stop the data being made anonymous in other types of clinical trials? good question. it goes to show one of the risks that is associated with this kind of research which is why people need to be willing participants who have explicitly consented because it is very difficult to anonymized data and it is becoming increasingly difficult especially with complex data like social media data, which can be very granular and detailed, it is hard to anonymized that, and none of us have forgotten the cambridge analytic and facebook scandal in which 50 million user

profiles which were being used for research ended up being used in political influencing. to put it lightly. we have got to be cautious about how a seemingly innocuous purpose could end up being used, not to say it is a threat to everyone, but people need to make informed decisions about whether they want to be part of that process. sophie, thanks forjoining us. downing street has confirmed that eu citizens won't automatically be deported if they fail to sign up to the government's settled status scheme by the deadline ofjune next year. 7.2 million people have applied for the scheme so far and 2.5 million of those have already been granted the right to remain in the uk after brexit. that leaves a backlog of 200,000 applications still being

processed and it is thought many more are still yet to apply. the eu's parliament negotiator says he has been given assurances from the brexit secretary that eu citizens we re brexit secretary that eu citizens were not automatically be deported for missing the deadline ofjune next year. we can speak to our correspondent. he has been one of the most vocal sceptics of the uk's settled status scheme, and he has a few concerns that have been raised. one of those is that at the moment the system does not provide any physical document which people can keep to prove their status in the future. another of his concerns was the idea of what happens to eu citizens in the uk who have not signed up for the settled status scheme by the deadline ofjune next year, he met with stephen barclay yesterday the brexit secretary and said he got reassurance on that.|j

wanted said he got reassurance on that.” wanted to be sure there is no automatic deportation of these people even after the grace period because people can be vulnerable and they don't know. the idea is that even for these people, after the grace period, they will have the possibility to apply, giving grounds why it was not possible to do it within the normal procedures. the prime minister's spokesman has said they will not be any automatic deportation it so you might think given the government has said it wa nts given the government has said it wants people who have made their home here to stay, why aren't they shouting out from the rooftops? you might geta shouting out from the rooftops? you might get a clue from an interview the home office minister brandon lewis has done with us. he said if it comes to june lewis has done with us. he said if it comes tojune next year and people haven't signed up and they have a good reason, they will be looking to grant status, but he doesn't want to get to that place and he wants people to sign up for that now. on the other issue we mentioned about the idea of not having a physical document to prove status in the future, guy

verhofstadt believes he had got a reassurance yesterday that people would be able to print out their status and use that, at the home office has poured cold water on that and said it has always been part of the plan that you can print it out but you can't then use that as proof, and the government's argument is that it is not needed because you would be getting a secure digital status which is linked to your passport and therefore that future proof sit in itself, and that could run for some time, i think. the government is very keen to put pressure on other eu countries to speu pressure on other eu countries to spell out what they will do for uk citizens and that is what we will be looking at next. uk citizens living abroad in european countries. maybe thatis abroad in european countries. maybe that is where the attention will shift next. these are the headlines... the city of glasgow wa nts to headlines... the city of glasgow wants to become carbon neutral in the next ten years, leading the fight against club and change.

psychiatrists and campaigners have called the social media campaign is the few companies to force —— the fight against carbon change. is your workplace neural diverse friendly? a new guidebook is released about neuro diversity in the workplace. england have just declared neuro diversity in the workplace. england havejust declared on neuro diversity in the workplace. england have just declared on 499—9 on the second day of the third test match against south africa with ben stokes and ollie pope making centuries in port elizabeth. saracens could be relegated from the rugby union premiership in days u nless rugby union premiership in days unless they can prove they are now complying with the salary cap rules. they have already been fined and docked points. johanna konta will not play for britain in the fed cup, she has been struggling with a knee injury and says she needs to protect her body. i will be back with more after half past.

is your workplace neuro diverse? more and more employers are trying to attract people with neurodiversity, the intelligence agency gchq has been doing so for many years. and a major record label has produced a book aimed at making the working environment more inclusive. chichi izundu has more. that these goggles on, they will turn your world upside down. can you see? yes. now shake my hand. people see the world differently. something universal music uk picked up on when discussing diversity in the workplace, especially neurodiversity, which refers to people with adhd, dyspraxia, dyslexia and the autism spectrum. the record label wanted a guide on how to talk about neurodiversity in the workplace but, when they couldn't find one, they made one. to help support our existing staff and also to try and reach out to all of that untapped talent out

there, that's why we're doing it. you know, there are brilliant folks out there that we've already spoken to as part of this research that just wouldn't even have considered applying to the likes of us or, indeed, many companies. not every work environment is like universal music uk. 31—year—old yvonne is a marketing consultant who works in a typical office, open plan, lots of phones and computers. colour post—its and colour books that we've got as well, so thatjust helps me to distinguish what's going on in terms of the information and i can dial down to what's important and i can see it clearly. so you are neurodivergent. yes, lam. what is your neurodivergency? so, i am dyslexic. my d5 and bs tend to get mixed up. i don't easily recognise errors in terms of spelling, punctuation and grammar. when i told my previous line manager in regards to the fact i was dyslexic, they worked pretty quickly and we were able to adjust my working environment to meet my needs. one need that is often not met

is even how you apply for a job. employers should think of more options. applying for a job for some can be tricky. employers still expect you to fill out an application form and if you have a neurodiversity like dyslexia, that can be challenging. so how about sending in a short video explaining exactly why you are the right person for thejob instead? what are you working on, april? matt boyd started the neurodiverse recruitment agency exceptional individuals. he couldn't get a job because of his dyslexia. many of our community that we work with have been told almost what they're bad at and not what they're good at, so when they get to the workplace, if employers can focus on the benefits and strength areas of the individual, and society as a whole, it will make a big difference for everyone with adhd, dyslexia, dyspraxia and autism. there are employers who actively seek neurodiverse people, like the intelligence agency gchq, and the government does offer a grant for employers to help meet any needs of neurodiverse people. but until the traditional way of work changes, they are a community who will continue not to be included in any diversity conversation. chichi izundu, bbc news.

nancy doyle is here. she works for an enterprise which looks for solutions to neuro diverse inclusion in the workplace and she is also a research fellow with birkbeck university. nancy, thanks for joining us. this is probably long overdue, this book. how helpful, though, are labels like neuro diversity? don't they make people feel other? neuro diversity refers to diversity within the whole population, neuro diversity movement is the idea that difference is normal and the variety is good. within that we have labels that refer to people who are on the

spectrum of the more unusual, more minority end of that human experience, and those labels are currently defined by things people cannot do so we talk about dyslexia, they can't read and write, and attention deficit, and we talk about autism and dyspraxia. those labels are referring to things that are not necessarily normal human behaviours so the neuro diversity movement wa nts to so the neuro diversity movement wants to bring all that together and change our opinion from thinking about everybody needs to be a generalist, two it is ok to be a specialist. it is not that much of a minority to be neuro diverse, but society has organised it around those who are neuro typical who can sit over eight hours and do administrative tasks. what sort of structural change is required? we need to get more flexible about the way we let people demonstrate their success , way we let people demonstrate their su ccess , we way we let people demonstrate their success, we need to be more inclusive of the use of technology,

and within our society right now it is perfectly possible that within the next 20 years being an accurate speu the next 20 years being an accurate spell is going to be an obsolete skill because we haven't so much good technology, so it is about schools and businesses embracing different ways of working —— because we have so much good technology. noticing when the things we consider to be normal, presentation and communication, are actually not necessarily related to the job, so good interview skills and eye contact good interview skills and eye co nta ct for good interview skills and eye contact for somebody who might be a data analyst, are those things necessary? job crafting and thinking about the competencies required for the role, and what different kinds of ways people could learn those skills and be included in those careers. what might the evolutionary purpose have been for creating these neuro differences? your organisation is about looking at the strengths rather than the witnesses. we have pioneered the idea positive assessment, so rather than creating assessment, so rather than creating a diagnosis based on what you can't

do we look at what you can do and both sides of the coin, not gloss over difficulties, because wrongly or rightly those things are required in our society and it is difficult if you are not an expert at sitting still and concentrating, but we have to acknowledge that. within the focusing on the positives, what we are able to do is enable people to reframe, and went about their potential and what they could achieve in life. —— think about their potential. for the moment, thanks forjoining us. for the first time, a british coin has been sold for £1 million. the sovereign was made when edward viii became king but never went into mass production because he abdicated in 1936. the coin has been bought by a private collector, in a deal brokered by the royal mint. here's kevin peachey. revealed, a £1 million treasure. 22 millimetres across weighing

nearly eight grams and with a face value ofjust £1. this coin is worth so much more because only six such sovereigns were ever made as part of a trial set. this is why. .. i have found it impossible to carry the heavy burden of responsibility and to discharge my duties as king as i would wish to do. edward viii abdicated in december 1936, a month before the sovereigns were due to go into mass production. what fascinates collectors and historians isn'tjust its rarity but how the king broke the rules. for centuries, convention dictated that each new monarch faced the opposite direction to its predecessor, but not edward. so, edward viii is quite a vain character and the way the monarch faces should alternate by reign. a long tradition that goes back centuries, but edward viii would have been the first monarch to have broken those centuries of tradition, purely because of vanity. he insisted on facing the same way as his father because he believed

that that was his best side. this coin is so rare and precious i'm not allowed to touch it. nearly six years ago, it sold for a record £500,000 but the new owner says, for a once in a lifetime opportunity, they were prepared to pay twice as much. when you're paying £1 million, you want the real thing. here in a lab at the royal mint, they test and authenticate coins and precious metals. we're able to provide a service to our customers where they can feel confident in buying coins, especially coins of this significant amount of money, that they can feel confident that it has been through the authenticity checks that we do here at the royal mint and that it's a genuine coin and that they paid a fair price for it. a price which, for the time being at least, makes this the uk's most valuable coin. kevin peachey, bbc news. time for a look at the weather. chris is here and i'm so thrilled that you will be talking about dry weather. it seems long ago that we

had a decent run of dry days but we have that on the way. it is down to the jet stream, and have that on the way. it is down to thejet stream, and let me explain, you can see the cold air coming out of canada and we have some very very warm air moving up from the caribbean, into the mid—atlantic, so we have massive temperature contrasts. these contrasts drive the jet stream and this is the jet strea m jet stream and this is the jet stream and as we look at the picture into this weekend it will accelerate in the mid—atlantic and that is the strongest jet stream i've in the mid—atlantic and that is the strongestjet stream i've ever seen, 250 mph. that is where the winds are going fastest but as we get to the north atlantic they slow down to 100 mph. still pretty quick! if you are a wind going at 238 mph and you have wind in front of you going at 100 mph, you get a pile—up going on, that's what happens in the upper atmosphere. six miles above the

ground, we are talking about, so the air is piling up, caused by thejet stream, and the air sinks down through the atmosphere towards the surface of the earth and collects together, this is what we call high pressure, the area of high pressure by the time we get to monday will be getting close to one of the strongest anticyclones we have seen in the last 20 or 30 years, so that is what is bringing the change in our weather. what are the conditions going to be like? we are going to lose the conditions we have seen recently, so i will run through the forecast now. shower conditions at the moment and those showers will be with us to the rest of today with a couple of bands working across the uk, and most areas will see a downpour or two, but there will be an improvement in the weather eventually. although we start off with showers over england and wales they will die away and become confined to northern and western areas of scotland where it is cold

enough for some of them to be wintry and above the high ground, but otherwise the winds wheel for light and it will be a colder night than we have seen recently —— will fall light. a few patches of frost as we begin saturday. we have spoken about the area of high pressure building and that is the case. as we go through saturday and sunday and into monday, that will be the major player and it means that for the vast majority of us this weekend will bring these weather conditions. dry and sunny and hardly any cloud in the sky, cold mornings with patchy frost and may be a few fog patches as well but essentially a fine spell of weather. on saturday, we still have the showers over northern and western scotland, probably still be around into the afternoon. some of those wintry over the high ground, but otherwise it is a dry day with plenty of sunshine on saturday and barely a cloud in the sky and those temperatures, they are cooling off but getting closer to normalfor cooling off but getting closer to normal for the cooling off but getting closer to normalfor the time of cooling off but getting closer to

normal for the time of year. between six and eight. saturday night with the clear skies, a cold night, probably even a bit colder, temperatures may be getting down to minus four. and there could also be a few patches of fog but for most it is another dry day with plenty of sunshine and even over western scotland, we will have lost the showers so you will be looking at the fine weather here with just a bit of high cloud in the sky making the sunshine a bit on the hazy side. temperatures 6—8. next week, a lot of dry weather to come, and although we begin with sunshine there is a tendency for things to turn a bit cloudier and a bit milder as the week goes by but the big area of high pressure will still be influencing the weather so we can look forward to five days if not longer of dry weather. just around the corner.

hello, you are watching afternoon live. the headlines: the city of glasgow wants to become carbon neutral in the next ten years — leading the fight against climate change. psychiatrists call for social media companies to hand over their data — so they can research what the online world does to children's mental health. in new focus to support and nurture

the new diversity of employees in the new diversity of employees in the workplace. accordingly for the king who abdicated sells for £1 million. sport now on afternoon live. england's cricketers have declared? they certainly have, 499-9 on day two on the third test in port elizabeth. ben stokes and all the pope have had realfun out there today, both scoring centuries. ben stokes today, both scoring centuries. ben sto kes got today, both scoring centuries. ben stokes got his first, his second slowest test, it is his eighth overall. he eventually fell for 120. it has been minimal inning for ollie pope, who has got his first century, just his six test match but looks like he has been in england ordered for yea rs like he has been in england ordered for years now. it is the first time since they have scored more than 400

ru ns since they have scored more than 400 runs ina since they have scored more than 400 runs in a test innings since the 2017 as series in australia. south africa are now eight without loss in reply. the south african bowler will miss the final test, he has been punished for the way he celebrated when he tookjoe root‘s wicket yesterday. the icc said it was too provocative, he has basically been banned because of a totting up process all previous incidents. plenty of people within the game say that the punishment is too hard. and the saracens have problems? they are being threatened with relegation from rugby unions premier league? big news coming out of saracens. they were given that 35 point deduction and £5 million fine for breaching premiership rugby's salary cap but things could get much worse. they now have two comply with the

rule within the next few days, if they can't, then you will be relegated at the end of the season. here isjoe wilson. the saracens players were here first thing this morning, we are talking about some of the most famous players in world by. of the most famous players in world rugby. i think what has happened the season is that saracens have been punished heavily for those financial irregularities, but they have continued to win a lot of games with those players. so if you are a bible club, ithink those players. so if you are a bible club, i think you'll want to see that wage bill slashed right now, or saracens to be relegated. —— bible club. england would love them to stay here, even if it meant playing in in second—tier of rugby. if you're a player, what is going through your mind right now? there are other avenues, not least the road towards the south of france where players are paid a lot of money. i think we are looking at are notjust the

money. i think we are looking at are not just the possibility, money. i think we are looking at are notjust the possibility, but money. i think we are looking at are not just the possibility, but the probability, of the dismantling of the most illustrious rugby squad england has ever seen. referees had been told to start using the pitch side of monitors in the premier league, they have been used once the season, by michael oliver the fa cup match between crystal palace and derby. premier league referees had been told not to use them in case they slow down the pace of the game, but the body that manages it has change this guidance, saying there should be used for red card guidance when it is felt the on field referee should have the final say. had it doubt will play an remainer of the australian open after successfully coming through qualifying in melbourne. it means that there will be for british women in at the first her own, including johanna konta, but she has had very limited preparation as the british number one has only played and won tournaments in the us open in

a potent display of loyalty, for a leader underfire. this has been a turbulent fortnight for ayatollah ali khamenei. his first appearance at friday prayers since 2012 a chance to reassert his authority and rally his supporters. it's been two weeks since the supreme leader's most trusted general was killed in an american drone strike outside baghdad airport. the man looking down on worshippers, now revered as a martyr. those who killed him condemned in familiarfashion. translation: the spokesmen of the wicked american government have said repeatedly they are on the side of the iranian people. they are lying. iran's revolutionary guard is under rare pressure, the subject of angry protests over its role in shooting down a ukrainian passenger plane.

the supreme leader called the crash a bitter accident, but said general soleimani's quds force was a humanitarian organisation, with human values. translation: those few hundred people who insulted the picture of our proud martyr, commander soleimani, are they the people of iran? or this great million strong crowd in the streets? iran's revenge for the general‘s death has, so far, been limited to missile strikes on bases housing american troops in iraq. washington initially said no one was hurt, but now admits at least 11 of its troops were treated for concussion. the threat of further conflict seems, for now, to have receded. but ayatollah khamenei's defiant words suggest the underlying differences remain as deep as ever.

three brothers from edinburgh have broken the world record and become the fastest trio ever to cross the atlantic ocean in a rowing boat. jamie, ewan and lachlan maclean less december last year. 35 days and 3000 miles later, the brothers arrived in antigua, that efforts are beating previous records. let's speak to them now. jamie, ewan and lachlan, who are in antico are. the idea of being that caribbean sunshine of to propel when you were extremely tired! you win, i believe it was your idea? —— ewan.” extremely tired! you win, i believe it was your idea? -- ewan. ifirst saw the advert for the challenge, there was no way we were going to let him do it on his own. line, how

much you rowing experience that you all have? we had absolutely no diving experience, we had never ruined before. we had been sailing on the west coast, but other than that,... on the west coast, but other than that, . .. what on the west coast, but other than that,... what sort of on the west coast, but other than that, . .. what sort of advice on the west coast, but other than that,... what sort of advice would you give in about tackling this?‘ lot the advice was you'd lose a lot of weight, a lot of the advice was get in at the gym, get on the rowing machine, eat as many calories as you possibly can, get some heavyweights. we went with a more healthy approach, it seems to have worked. tell us,jamie, approach, it seems to have worked. tell us, jamie, wood has a help or hindrance been in a bid with your brothers? it was 100% a hindrance been in a bid with your

brothers? it was 10096 a help. times we re brothers? it was 10096 a help. times were tough during the row, when we face the challenges that we did, we approached it in the same manner. ewan, how did you entertain yourselves? you are rather stock for wi—fi and 4g out in the ocean. yourselves? you are rather stock for wi-fi and 4g out in the ocean. not just that, our ipod cables broke so we had no magic for a lot of the journey. we talked a lot. we played a bit of music. just trying to be as present as we could be. very few people row across the atlantic, just to really experience that. we're just looking at some pictures, you mentioned musical instruments, not just any old, but bagpipes! yes, absolutely. jamie plays a lead pipes

so we absolutely. jamie plays a lead pipes so we thought it would be a crime not to bring a full set across. somebody donated a site just to arrive in a bit of style. i have never seen anything like it before! so, what you don't knowjoining us now is mary glasgow, the ceo of children 1st, one of the charities you have very kindly generated all this money for. mary, what is your m essa 9 es this money for. mary, what is your m essa g es to this money for. mary, what is your messages to the theory brothers? first of all, massive congratulations on your amazing achievement. secondly, it is a huge and enormous thank you from everybody at children 1st, especially from all the children and the families you have helped to keep self in the next wee while. we never had an ounce of doubt that you would make it, but it is mind blowing that

you have broken all those records. scotla nd you have broken all those records. scotland is proud of you, we are proud of you and a massive thank you. a special thank you to you mum, who i know... we have been keeping touch, we want to say a huge thank you to her too. mary, what will you do have the money? we will spend it to offer support to children so that they can live safely with their own families, direct help to parents to make sure that we tackle issues like poverty, neglect, children who need to recover from the impact of trauma and abuse. so, massively worthwhile effort, guys, we will make sure the money is well spent and lots of children will be grateful to you in the years to come. janie, what is your response? under pressure now to do more fundraising like this? yeah, imean, we do more fundraising like this? yeah, i mean, we talked a lot on the real without our music, we had a lot of discussion about future plans. we had a lot of ideas, not sure which

one to smooth out yet, it has definitely been a humbling experience. we would love to continue to work with the charities. just a reminder, you cannot keep eating 12,000 calories a day now you're back on dry land. congratulations to all of you, also to mary glasgow from children 1st. thank you all very much. thank you, buy, boys, see you soon. our pleasure. in a moment, alice will have all the latest business news. first, a look at the headlines. the city of glasgow was to become carbon neutral within the next ten years, leading the fight against climate change. psychiatrist and campaigners have called for social media companies to be forced to hand over data to universities for research into the potential harms of using technology. is your workplace euro

diverse friendly? a new guidebook is released about neuro diversity and employees. here are at your business headlines on afternoon live: retail sales fell again in december as the christmas shopping spree failed to materialise. that is all according to the office for national statistics stop flybe has denied reports it was either holiday payment. rival airline bosses say that the arrangement is unfair. china's economy grew last year at the slowest pace in almost three

decades. officialfigures so the slowest pace in almost three decades. official figures so that the bottle second largest economy expanded by just the bottle second largest economy expanded byjust over 6% in 2019 from the year before. it comes after almost two years of trade tensions with the us and almost two years of trade tensions with the us and weak almost two years of trade tensions with the us and weak domestic demand. first of all, microsoft pledging to remove all of the court or not they have put into the environment since 1975, quite a commitment. a big pledge. the chief executive saying that he wants to achieve this by 2050, meaning that they want to become carbon negative asa they want to become carbon negative as a company by 2030, effectively meaning removing more carbon in the environment than they emit, actually going beyond rivals like amazon. yes, carbon negative employs a step further? exactly, there are differences between the two. when a business is a must to be carbon neutral, it means they want to

reverse the effects of emitting carbon, they want to slow it down. they do this by balancing out the admissions or by offsetting emissions, orjust by not using greenhouse gases in the first place, using renewable energies instead. until now, most companies choose to offset carbon emissions. google invest in their own green projects in order to achieve neutrality. the result of all of this is that it slows down carbon emissions, but does not reverse them, to be carbon negative our company is going that step further, taking away more carbon than they emit. you mention google, more big news about them? the owner of google announced today that they have become the fourth us company to achieve $1 trillion evaluation. alphabet has come a long

way since its activism and for listing as a google when it floated $85 a share? absolutely, it has certainly blowing past those early beginnings. if you look at the way the company is run now, compared to how it was when i first came on and leasing back in 1999, it was really more that kind of plucky start up. looking at google now, it is certainly a much more grown—up company, the company that is really responding to wall street trying to make investors, happy. that said, you are seeing a lot more criticism emerging of google. there is a lot more criticism in terms ofjust how large these companies have become. and, of course, just what they are giving peoples privacy, with their important data and information. and also what they are doing to the

environment, as well. you mentioned how far alphabet has come as a company since 2004, but many a nalysts company since 2004, but many analysts out there are saying that the style has a long way to go, they foresee this company getting to a $2 trillion evaluation? really incredible, in specially when you think even making this one chilean dollar evaluation is already quite a feat, something pretty much unimaginable a few decades ago. —— $1 trillion evaluation. that is a lot of room for them to grow. that is new leadership at google, the original creators are leaving the company, we are seeing that it is moving ina company, we are seeing that it is moving in a lot of different avenues, trying to get companies move towards its cloud computing, going into some of these more far— reaching going into some of these more far—reaching avenues by going into driverless car technology is. there are certainly a lot of room for it

to grow, but what will be interesting to see just how regulators deal with the company, because there isjust so much criticism from governments around the world about how big and how influential google has become. quick look at the figures? yes, the ftse 100 got a real shot in the arm this morning by these disappointing retail sales. a weaker sterling helping that ftse100 moving into positive territory, just slightly over 0.92%. positive territory, just slightly over 0.9296. thousands of people who have raise money for big ben to chime in the uk leaves the eu next month look set to be disappointed. nearly £150,000 has been donated to ensure the bell is in working order, but the parliamentary estate says it will not accept the money. mps backing the deal say that the pm

should not back out now. sir ian duncan smith joins us should not back out now. sir ian duncan smithjoins us now should not back out now. sir ian duncan smith joins us now from fab sir ian, thank you forjoining us, why is it so important to you, that it isa why is it so important to you, that it is a big ben that marks this particular moment in our history when it is going to come with such a hefty price tag? firstly, which does this price to come from anyway? they manage very easily to ring the bell at new year, which by the way, is a pretty irrelevant water point because it happens every year. big ben sounds out on all the big occasions, it sounded out the end of the war in europe, injapan, when we joined the eu, when we entered. as we leave, arguably the biggest decision we have made since the end of the war, then i think the bell should sound. if they have managed to make it sound for other things, i

do not see why they cannot make it sound when we leave the eu. whether you agree with leaving or not, it is irrelevant, it is a big moment for either side in this argument. therefore, i do hope that the prime minister, who actually encouraged all of us to set this up, well over £106,000 now, by the way, there should be some way the government should be some way the government should put a motion down and say, let's do it. but it is at the house of commons commission, i understand, who have said it should not go ahead. would you really want the prime minister it overruled that commission? i have no idea what the commission? i have no idea what the commission has come up with the sum of money, which seems to have been conjured up pretty much out of thin air. ithink conjured up pretty much out of thin air. i think that they are losing sight of the big picture here, that big ben being allowed to ring for new year's eve, it seems rather

bizarre that a much bigger occasion which should be marked by the sound of big ben, will not be. it is a very big moment, and that big moment needs to have the book is that we have got. big ben marks every single passage of the uk, bedtimes, crises, all of these things. we tend to big ben and wait for the moment when something changes, nothing is bigger than you change we are about to have, leaving the eu. as i say, whether you are for or against it, it is still a moment to pause and think about when we are going and what the future holds. nothing makes you do that better than the final climb of that bill, which is soon as and deep, and makes everyone stop for a minute and deep, and makes everyone stop fora minute and and deep, and makes everyone stop for a minute and think about things. i think not losing track of this moment is critical here, i do hope the government then now speaks to the government then now speaks to the house of commons commission and we get some kind of resolution on this one is a minute and think about

things. i think not losing track of this moment is critical here, i do hope the government then now speaks to the house of commons commission and we get some kind of resolution on this one. after all, the public wa nts to on this one. after all, the public wants to give the money that it wa nts to wants to give the money that it wants to give, it does seem daft to me by the commission cannot account for that. how content would you be with the idea of that money going to charity if the target is not met?m the target is not met, it is not meant to stop i would like to know why, my shoe conjured up that target? i know that the restoration of eight has almost doubled its original forecast, of eight has almost doubled its originalforecast, so of eight has almost doubled its original forecast, so there are question marks about that. i do think that sometimes we cannot see the wood for the trees, i think this isa the wood for the trees, i think this is a moment of that, it is to simply taking a piece back and asking ourselves a single question. if we we re ourselves a single question. if we were able to sound out bell for new year's eve, but when we are leaving the eu, a one off, huge moment for all of us, it does seem to me

strange that we do not make the effort to say, yes, that is a moment when big ben needs to sound, the key moment, as it has free all those yea rs of moment, as it has free all those years of peace, strife and war. the big moments when big things happen, that big ben ball sound and we will pause. time for a look at the weather with chris. plenty of these shower clubs on the horizon, further showers coming and going. overnight, they shall bridge tend to dry way for many parts of the uk, they will be confined to the north and west of scotla nd confined to the north and west of scotland where there was to be some wintry showers. certainly a cold night, with patches of frost in the countryside. this weekend, high pressure builds in, mostly dry picture, plenty of sunshine by chilly mornings to come. saturday, it will start cold, bright and

sunny. showers for the north—west of scotla nd sunny. showers for the north—west of scotland through the afternoon, they showers become confined in the afternoon to the far north—west, the idfor afternoon to the far north—west, the id for most of us, top temperatures between 6 to eight celsius. similar —looking picture on sunday as well, cold and frosty start but barely a cloud in his life in most parts of the uk. that is the latest winner. hello, you are watching afternoon live. the city of glasgow wants to become carbon neutral in the next ten years — leading the fight against climate change. carbon neutral by 2030 is a big challenge, it's certainly one that we're taking very seriously, and it's not enough for a few people in the council to be working on it. it's a challenge that everybody has to take part in, that we need to get everybody across the city engaged with, and that we need to be working on now. psychiatrists call for social media companies to hand over their data — so they can research what the online world does to children's mental health.

the reigning supreme leader defends the country's military after it shot down a passenger plane as he leads friday prayers. and coming up in sport later in the hour on bbc news. a great day for england on the second day of the third test match against south africa. poly pipe with his maiden test century and ben stokes with his ninth —— ollie pope with his maiden. chris is going to tell us it is going to be dry. yes, we have had a turbulent week of weather, wet and windy, but a change of fortu nes weather, wet and windy, but a change of fortunes this week it will be dry and sunny and for many barely a cloud in the sky. also coming up. and the coin made for the king who abdicated sells for £1 million.

hello, this is afternoon live. glasgow could become the first city in the uk to become completely carbon—neutral. it's promising to do so within the next ten years — that will mean radically cutting emissions. glasgow hosts an international summit on climate change later this year — and we're looking at the changes the city is making as part of our series our planet matters. my colleague annita mcveigh is in glasgow this lunchtime. the morning rush hour in glasgow. commuters pour into scotland's biggest city, nearly all their cars releasing pollution. motorways run straight through glasgow. for decades, the car has been king. but now there is a radical plan to go carbon neutral.

new charging points for electric vehicles are being installed. the aim is to make the city green in ten years. and the council's gritting lorries are going to be adapted to run on clean hydrogen, as well as diesel. but this is only one very small part of a long list of what needs to be done. how big a challenge is it? getting to carbon neutral by 2030 is a big challenge, it's certainly one that we're taking very seriously, and it's not enough for a few people in the council to be working on it. it's a challenge that everybody has to take part in, that we need to get everybody across the city engaged with, and that we need to be working on now. already, more and more of the uk's electricity is becoming carbon free. here on the edge of glasgow is one of europe's largest wind farms. there are big plans for many more turbines, and more solar panels, but going totally carbon neutral won't be easy. we've done some studies recently

which show that we need to start installing 4000 heat pumps and electric vehicle charging points every day across the uk... every day? every day, in order to meet the targets that we've set ourselves for becoming carbon neutral. is that remotely feasible? if we start now. hardest of all will be making glasgow's housing greener, and that's the case across the country because most homes are heated by gas. the mass of pipes being worked on here is part of a scheme to draw warmth from the river clyde and use it to heat an entire district. we're not burning anything on the site, that's the beauty of it... i asked dave pearson, who is in charge of the project, if glasgow is really on course to be carbon neutral. i don't think so. i think in all honesty, momentum is all about progress. there's lots of ideas, lots of talk, but we need to actually decide that the city will become gas free by a date and how best to do that. at the moment, we haven't even started. it's hard to believe,

as things stand, how glasgow or any major city could possibly be carbon neutral in as little as ten years' time. but the council says it wants to send the signal that at least it's trying. and this matters because an international summit on climate change is due to take place here in november, and the world will be watching what this city does. david shukman, bbc news, in glasgow. my colleague annita mcveigh is in glasgow today. she spoke to lorna gordon about the plans for the city.

they have a set of recommendations and at the moment they are looking at 61 in total and we hope a decision will be forthcoming in the next few months in which ideas they will take forward when it comes to glasgow. some of the ideas are quite obvious, like more pedestrianisation, more cycle routes, to encourage people out of their cars, others are slightly more ambitious, if you like. like the council setting up its own bus company and may be the bus company will offer free travel to people living here to encourage them out of their cars, but there are challenges to ideas like that. there is the greater glasgow area as well, so other councils will have to buy into this and there may be financial implications. another big area when it comes to transport is electric cars, how do you encourage people to use electric cars? this is a city built on roads. i spoke to someone from scottishpower early and they have delivered a couple of electric buses which they say require the equivalent of 40 houses worth of electricity to charge. and then you have the question of the electricity not being carbon neutral and the question of whether the grid has the capability to allow that transport to flourish

in the way people hope. there's a massive coordinated effort that would be needed. yes, the council is very clear on that, there has to be buy in from government and big business, people like scottishpower, business has to look at more circular economy usage, and individuals like us, we have to change the way we live, the way we travel and the way we heat our homes. how do we move from gas heating to other community—based heating? the council says this will not be easy and they say that obviously a lot of people have other priorities like paying bills, to do with housing, and they say some of the decisions they make will not be popular, in terms of car restraints, car park charging, bus lanes, for instance. but they say they have reached the point where doing nothing is not

an option and a change has to come and it has to come fast. it is a shift in psychology. lots of people saying it's right that glasgow should be this ambitious, because there is no alternative but to be ambitious, but what do you think, what is your assessment as to whether it can deliver on this goal by the end of this decade? it is ambitious and it is very challenging and i think the council itself would concede this is a very challenging target but may be what they are hoping is that there will be small incremental steps in lots of different areas and this will lead to significant changes, maybe not enough to hit 2030, but aim high, set an example. most of the world lives in cities and therefore it is in cities where the changes have got to come, and set an example especially because cop26 is coming to glasgow this year. lorna gordon speaking in glasgow

there. leading psychiatrists have said companies like facebook should be forced to hand over their data to researchers, so they can study whether social media technology is harmful to children. the royal college of psychiatrists wants independent experts to assess how youngsters are affected by their experiences online, amid concern from parents and schools. here's angus crawford. she had so much to offer. molly russell's death... and that's gone. ..sparked a national outcry. these are companies that count their profits in the billions, and they turn round and say to us that they can't protect our children? questions about young people and mental health... do you have the power to compel them to do what you think needs to be done? yes, absolutely. focussing public anger on the tech giants and demands for greater regulation. announced in the queen's speech, the government's plans for a new independent regulator and a statutory duty of care. my ministers will develop legislation to improve internet safety for all. but the royal college of

psychiatrists wants tougher action. social—media companies are very wealthy, they've got a huge amount of knowledge, they can create complex algorithms which hook young people into their platforms. why can't they be using that same amount of energy, knowledge and funding to try and harness the positive benefits, and help try and protect children and young people more? tech giants should be forced to share data with university researchers. and be taxed on their global turnover. new apps should be designed to be age—appropriate. molly russell's father ian fully backs the plans. and if there was a levy that was forced upon them so that they had to pay, it would be a tiny amount in terms of their profits, but it only needs to provide for good, proper academic research with anonymised data so that the whole world can better understand the sort of problems that are driving young people into desperate places. radical solutions which may not be popular with an industry

making billions from the children using its products. angus crawford, bbc news. andy burrows is the nspcc had a child safety online and he is here. how would data by these companies improve safety for children online? data—sharing is an important part of this equation, we need to see social networks start to lift up the bonnet on how their sites work because that will help us to better understand the risks children face and how those play out. right now we think a lot of social networks have been quite comfortable not sharing data and that is because they have created an evidence trap were only they have the keys to this data that will help us to fully understand the picture and we think this is quite convenient for them because if we can't definitively prove how some of

these harm draw work, that was a barrier to pressing ahead with statutory regulation, so we think it is vital now that this is compulsory, it should not be a choice for these platforms to decide what information they share. and what information they share. and what they do to keep children safe. then we can start to build the jigsaw puzzle. you can already gather the evidence, if a child has been groomed. there is a trail and we have seen that from prosecutions of people, so why do you need to go this step further? we understand quite a lot about how online grooming works but there is much more around the types of linguistic patterns, for example, where unlocking the keys to this data would be very helpful. this isn't just about sharing data with academics, it is also about making the platforms start to share information with themselves, so if we think about grooming for example, grooming rarely takes place on one

side and we know child abusers will use the big open sites like facebook or instagram to cast their net and contact large numbers of children and they can use the design features of the site, the french suggestions, to recommend children, and that grooming behaviour will start to move to another platform —— the friend suggestions. we can build a much more complex pitch if we can see the data from one platform to another and that will be able to help us to better protect children —— more complex picture. help us to better protect children -- more complex picture. if facebook encrypted messages on all the platforms it owns? we are hugely concerned about the risks of encryption and since the white paper from the government last year there have been 90 offences every single day of cyber —related crimes and if encryption goes ahead that means all of the existing suite of tools that the platforms are able to use and

that law enforcement can rely upon disappear at a stroke, so at the nspcc this is one of the most dangerous things we think facebook could do. there's always a balance, between keeping everyone safe and our rights to privacy. how do you get it right? what we want to see is for regulation to come in that imposes a duty of care on these platforms, so places like facebook should have a legal responsibility to identify the types of risk children could be exposed to on their platforms and then take reasonable steps to make sure those are addressed and that has to be a balance and it needs to take into account privacy concerns but we cannot see children being exposed to further increasingly complex and increasingly severe abuse when industry has failed to take this problem seriously, so we need to see that duty of care being imposed. andy burrows from the nspcc, thanks for joining andy burrows from the nspcc, thanks forjoining us. downing street has confirmed that eu

citizens won't automatically be deported if they fail to sign up to the government's settled status scheme by the deadline ofjune next year. the home office says 2.7 million people have applied for the scheme so far. 2.5 million of those have already been granted the right to remain in the uk after brexit. that leaves a backlog of 200,000 applications still being processed and it is thought many more are still yet to apply. the eu pa rliament‘s the eu parliament's chief negotiator guy verhofstadt says he has been given assurances from the brexit secretary that eu citizens will not automatically be deported for missing the deadline ofjune next year. guy verhofstadt, it is fair to say... he has been one of the most vocal sceptics of the uk's settled status scheme, and he has a few concerns that have been raised. one of those is that at the moment

the system does not provide any physical document which people can keep to prove their status in the future. we will come back to that in a second. another of his concerns was the idea of what happens to eu citizens in the uk who have not signed up for the settled status scheme by the deadline ofjune next year, he met with stephen barclay yesterday, the brexit secretary, and said he got reassurance on that. i wanted to be sure there is no automatic deportation of these people even after the grace period because people can be vulnerable and they don't know. the idea is that even for these people, after the grace period, they will have the possibility to apply, giving grounds why it was not possible to do it within the normal procedures. the prime minister's spokesman has said there will not be any automatic deportation so you might think given the government has said it wants people who have made their home here to stay, why aren't they shouting that from the rooftops? you might get a clue from an interview the home office minister brandon lewis has done.

he said if it comes tojune next year and people haven't signed up and they have a good reason, they will be looking to grant status, but he doesn't want to get to that place and he wants people to sign up for that now. on the other issue we mentioned, about the idea of not having a physical document to prove status in the future, mr verhofstadt believed he had got a reassurance yesterday that people would be able to print out their status and use that, but the home office has poured cold water on that and said it has always been part of the plan that you can print it out but you can't then use that as proof. the government's argument is that it is not needed because you would be getting a secure digital status which is linked to your passport and therefore that future proofs it in itself— that could run for some time, i think. the government is very keen to put pressure on other eu countries to spell out what they will do for uk citizens and that is what we will be looking at next — uk citizens living abroad in european countries.

maybe that is where the attention will shift next. these are the headlines... the city of glasgow wants to become carbon neutral in the next ten years, leading the fight against carbon change. psychiatrists and campaigners have called for social media companies to be forced to hand over data to universities research into the potential harms of using technology. the iranians supreme leader ali khamenei has led friday prayers today. england have just declared on 499—9 on the second day of the third test match against south africa with ben stokes and ollie pope making centuries in port elizabeth. saracens could be relegated from the rugby union premiership in days unless they can prove they are now complying with the salary cap rules. they have already been fined and docked points.

johanna konta will not play for britain in the fed cup, she has been struggling with a knee injury and says she needs to protect her body. i will be back with more after half past. iran's supreme leader, ayatollah ali khamenei, has led friday prayers in tehran for the first time in almost a decade. he's appealed for unity following anti—government demonstrations in iran over the shooting down of a passenger plane by the country's military. paul adams reports. chanting a potent display of loyalty, for a leader underfire. this has been a turbulent fortnight for ayatollah ali khamenei. his first appearance at friday prayers since 2012 a chance to reassert his authority and rally his supporters. it's been two weeks since

the supreme leader's most trusted general was killed in an american drone strike outside baghdad airport. the man looking down on worshippers, now revered as a martyr. those who killed him condemned in familiarfashion. translation: the spokesmen of the wicked american government have said repeatedly they are on the side of the iranian people. they are lying. iran's revolutionary guard is under rare pressure, the subject of angry protests over its role in shooting down a ukrainian passenger plane. the supreme leader called the crash a bitter accident, but said general soleimani's quds force was a humanitarian organisation, with human values. translation: those few hundred people who insulted the picture of our proud martyr, commander soleimani, are they the people of iran? or this great million strong crowd in the streets?

iran's revenge for the general‘s death has, so far, been limited to missile strikes on bases housing american troops in iraq. washington initially said no one was hurt, but now admits at least 11 of its troops were treated for concussion. the threat of further conflict seems, for now, to have receded. but ayatollah khamenei's defiant words suggest the underlying differences remain as deep as ever. a guidebook to new rider versus to in the workplace has been published by universal music. —— a guidebook to neuro diversity in the workplace. more than 100 companies have expressed interest in having it in their office. chichi izundu has more.

put these goggles on and what they will do is turn your world upside down. can you see? yes. now try and shake my hand. pleasure to meet you. people see the world differently. something universal music uk picked up on when discussing diversity in the workplace, especially neurodiversity, which refers to people with adhd, dyspraxia, dyslexia and the autism spectrum. the record label wanted a guide on how to talk about neurodiversity in the workplace but, when they couldn't find one, they made one. to help support our existing staff and also to try and reach out to all of that untapped talent out there, that's why we're doing it. you know, there are brilliant folks out there that we've already spoken to as part of this research that just wouldn't even have considered applying to the likes of us or,

indeed, many companies. not every work environment is like universal music uk. 31—year—old yvonne is a marketing consultant who works in a typical office, open plan, lots of phones and computers. colour post—its and colour books that we've got as well, so thatjust helps me to distinguish what's going on in terms of the information and i can dial down to what's important and i can see it clearly. so you are neurodivergent. yes, lam. what is your neurodivergency? so, i'm dyslexic. my d5 and bs tend to get mixed up. i don't easily recognise errors in terms of spelling, punctuation and grammar. one need that is often not met is even how you apply for a job. employers should think of more options. applying for a job for some can be tricky. employers still expect you to fill out an application form and if you have a neurodiversity like dyslexia, that can be challenging. so how about sending in a short video explaining exactly why you are the right person for thejob instead? what are you working on, april? matt boyd started the neurodiverse recruitment agency exceptional individuals. he couldn't get a job because of his dyslexia. many of our community that we work with have been told almost what they're bad at and not what they're good at, so when they get to the workplace, if employers can focus

on the benefits and strength areas of the individual, and society as a whole, it will make a big difference for everyone with adhd, dyslexia, dyspraxia and autism. there are employers who actively seek neurodiverse people, like the intelligence agency gchq, and the government does offer a grant for employers to help meet any needs of neurodiverse people. but until the traditional way of work changes, they are a community who will continue not to be included in any diversity conversation. chichi izundu, bbc news. more heavy rain has been falling in australia, the downpours have brought relief to exhausted firefighters and there has even been some flooding in some areas. we have this report now from new south wales near sydney.

yes! they prayed for rain and, today, the heavens opened. this farmer in new south wales capturing the jubilation many felt. send it down! finally, respite from the drought which has fuelled this australian summer of fire and misery. but, here, the immediate threat no longer flames, but flood. the residents of an animal park scrambled to safety. survivors in a country where there's been so much devastation. although the danger has not gone away. the rain may have lashed down in the city, too, but authorities warned that days of this are needed to put out the remaining fires. still, relief in sydney. this is the wettest day in many, many months. we've only had about four days of rain in the last four months. and that rain has been only short and this is well and truly the wettest day for a very long time. we need a bit of rain and water to help with the fires, especially because of how dry it was the past couple of days and i think it will help with the haze as well, just push everything further out.

these downpours will not dilute to the anger many australians feel over their government not doing enough to tackle climate change, which scientists say is causing more violent and more regularflooding and fires across the world. prime minister scott morrison joined mourners at the funeral of a firefighter killed last month. a reminder of the sacrifice being made to defend australia from an almighty and ongoing danger. nick beake, bbc news, new south wales. time for a look at the weather. chris, they have never been so happy to see rain in australia. south of queensland, we look at the rainfall statistics from last year, it was the driest year on record, so they have had a severe drought. in the last 24 hours, on friday, the australians have all had friday, they had 126 millimetres of rain in

they had 126 millimetres of rain in the north of the northern territory in those areas which have had a severe drought have seen really heavy rainfall and the number of wildfires has dropped significantly. there were reports of 125 is down to about 80 odd, so still some way to 90, about 80 odd, so still some way to go, we are not out of the crisis, but the rain is helping things and there's more damp weather to come in australia in those areas this weekend. great news for them. meanwhile, we can look forward to some drier conditions. the weather has been tabling here this week, with strong winds and heavy rain but it is all changing. these temperature contrasts, the cold air coming out of canada and the warm air moving from the caribbean, that is firing up the incredibly strong jet stream. the strongest i've seen. the winds within the jet stream which is six miles up in the atmosphere are going to get up to about 238 mph over the mid—atlantic

which is incredibly fast. as those winds get towards the iceland and greenland area they have got to slow down and that causes the pile—up of their which is forced to sink down to the surface of the earth and where it connects and piles up, that is what we call high pressure, and running the sequence for the next few days, that is what is building. the area of high pressure will get close to a thousand 50 millibars which will make it one of the most intense highs we have seen for the last 30 years. —— 1050. intense highs we have seen for the last 30 years. --1050. is intense highs we have seen for the last 30 years. -- 1050. is this for everybody? there will be a complete switch from the showers of the moment and the last place to hang on to the showers will be in north—west scotla nd to the showers will be in north—west scotland but this area of high pressure will bring decent weather so we look forward to a big change. that is looking very pretty. cornwall this afternoon, big thunderstorms on the horizon and you can see those thunderclouds and a

couple of bands crossing the uk at the moment. we are going to see if you showers coming and going through the rest of these afternoon before the rest of these afternoon before the weather becomes a bit drier —— the weather becomes a bit drier —— the afternoon. looking at the picture through the evening, we start off with showers over england and wales but they will die away shortly after midnight, really. showers will become confined to the north and west of scotland where a bit of white in the showers, a bit of wintry nurse over the high ground but otherwise we are looking at a cold night with patches of frost developing especially in the countryside but parts of northern ireland will have temperatures down to around —3. through the weekend, this area of high pressure really dominates the weather picture right across the uk, and that is going to bring a change too much dry conditions, so what does that mean? plenty of sunshine but some chilly mornings to come on saturday and

sunday, and there could be a few isolated fog patches as well. saturday, it begins on a chilly night but plenty of sunshine, and unbroken sunshine from dawn until dusk, and in scotland plenty of showers over north—western areas through the morning and some of those will keep going in the far north even into the afternoon, but come inland and you can see the extent of the drier weather, turning cooler, but the temperatures are getting close to normal for the time of year. it has been very mild. during saturday night, that is interesting, the billeting has crashed! we have some low temperatures. a fine spell of weather which we can look forward to this weekend. that is the latest.

if this is bbc news, our latest headlines: the city of glasgow wants to become carbon neutral in the next ten years leading the fight against climate change. psychiatrists call for social media companies to hand over their data so they can research what the online world does to children's mental health. iran supreme leader has led a friday players in tehran for the first time for the first time in eight years. and a coin made for the king who abdicated sells for a million pounds. sport now on afternoon live. england's cricketers have scored so

many runs that they have the cloud? yes, england have been on fire today. ben stokes and ollie pope have had a bit of fun out there today, both scoring centuries. stokes notched up his ninth test hundred. in the process, he reached the milestone of 4000 test runs and 100 wickets. he's only the second englishman after sir ian botham to manage that. he eventually fell for 120. and it was a memorable day for ollie pope, who got his first century in just his sixth test match, but he looks as though he's been in england's middle orderfor years. he finished on 135 not out, as england declared on 499 for nine. it's the first time, since they've scored more than 400 runs in a test innings since the 2017 ashes series in australia. south africa 54 for1 in reply.

saracens have huge problems to face, a hefty fine and points reduction, now the prospect of relegation on the horizon? saracens were given that 35 point deduction and £5 million fine for breaching premiership rugby‘s salary cap. but things could be about to get much worse. they now have to prove that they are complying with the rules in the next few days. if they can't do that, then they will be relegated at the end of the season. here's our sports news correspondent, joe wilson. the saracens players were here first thing this morning, we are talking about some of the most famous players in world rugby. i think what has happened this season is that saracens have been punished heavily for those financial irregularities, but they have continued to win a lot of games with those players. so if you are a rival club,

i think you'll want to see that wage bill slashed right now, or saracens to be relegated. england would love them to stay here, even if it meant playing in second—tier of rugby. if you're a player, what is going through your mind right now? there are other avenues, not least the road towards the south of france where players are paid a lot of money. i think we are looking at, notjust the possibility but the probability, of the dismantling of the most illustrious rugby squad england has ever seen. referees have been told to start using the pitchside var monitors in the premier league. they've only been used once this season. that was by michael oliver in the fa cup match between crystal palace and derby. premier league referees had been told not to use them, in case they slow down the pace of the game. but the body that manages elite referees has changed it's guidance, and says they should be used for red

card decisions, when it's felt that the onfield referee should have the final say. harriet dart will play in the main draw of the australian open after succesfully coming through qualifying in melbourne. it means that there'll be four british women in the first round. that includes johanna konta, but she's had very limited preparations, the british number one has only played in one tournment since the us open in september as she manages a knee problem, and it's an injury that will stop herfrom playing in this year's fed cup. it is a tough decision to make because fed cup is something always close to my always close to my heart. i have had some incredible experiences in my career in fed cup, i'm different looking to have some more. because this is an olympic season as well, ijust need to take care of my body and make some decisions that are not always easy, but will hopefully help me

have the longevity of that i want. glasgow recently became the first city in the uk to pledge to become carbon neutral over the next 20 years. it will mean radically cutting harmful emissions and planting enough trees to absorb the carbon in any remaining fumes. it comes as the city prepares to host an international summit on climate change in november. the bbc is taking a closer look at the changes glasgow will have to make as part of our series, our planet matters. herlet‘sjon annita herlet‘s jon annita mcveigh herlet‘sjon annita mcveigh who is in glasgow today. we are still here at the glasgow science centre, where we have been all day, talking about how glasgow will be a big focus this year as we look at climate change and ways to combat it. as martin

mentioned, because of that cod need target that glasgow has set hope itself to become carbon that will by the end of this decade, also because of that huge climate conference due to ta ke of that huge climate conference due to take place at the end of this year, almost 201 of the day is coming to glasgow. tens of thousands of people involved when you take into account and the delegates who will be here, the lobbyists, environmental groups, and so on and so forth. those people coming together, essentially, to try and produce an international response to the climate emergency, that is the big challenge for them. as to how glasgow will set about reaching that carbon neutral target, we have been talking to a range of people how that might be done, including individuals who are working on what you might call micro—projects, small projects to bring about behavioural change. on that note, i will now introduce jon dawes —

co founder of repair cafe — and rashid khaliq, chief executive of soulriders. the button on your shirt, jon, says consume less, repaired more. give us a sense of how busy you are at the repair cafe, and what it is you repaired. we host monthly repair events. sometimes we will have pop‘up events. sometimes we will have pop—up events in between. we will have nearly 30 or 40 visitors at each one, we have a crew of volunteers as well, ten to 15 volunteers as well, ten to 15 volunteers at each one. people bring in all kind of things, usually things hand—held, lots of lamps, blenders, toasters, history to 15 volunteers at each one. people bring in all kind of things, usually things hand—held, lots of lamps, blenders, toasters, hair straighteners is the most unusual

thing would be a crystal is that she whose hands fell off. we put some blue colouring, epoxy in it. as far as we now, it worked. the idea is for people to try and fix things instead of replacing things, i want things going to landfill? really, the overarching goal of our repair cafe and of the 2000 or so that exist internationally, is to remake repaired more mainstream. to have that behaviour change, so that someone will think they will fix what they have instead of replacing it. rashid, how are you time to do that in glasgow? we are a community of cycling organisation, we get involved with diverse groups,

encouraging people to get out of their cars and onto bag. creating that behavioural challenge of getting people to get out of their ca rs getting people to get out of their cars is quite tough. to say to people, here is a carbon efficient alternative. we have some innovative solutions to do this. we work with ethnic minority people, we are based in pollokshields east, the most diverse place in scotland. in order to create large behavioural change, we give them tasters sessions, group rides, a lot of camaraderie, social events, social evenings around cycling. it is not necessarily focusing on the barriers to cycling, for instance, road safety and the lovely scottish weather, we do tackle those issues, but we do put them aside and say, let's have fun, let's come together, about the diverse groups get to know each other and so on. and going greener asa other and so on. and going greener as a result. also, tell me about a

new project you are working on, eg cargo bikes, what is that about? yes, it is called a revolutionise, this is scotland's first integrated delivery of goods and food waste delivery of goods and food waste delivery and pick—up service there but we are looking to target initially small and medium businesses, we will demonstrate to the businesses how they can deliver the businesses how they can deliver the goods not by cars or vans, huge carbon emitters, but by the most carbon emitters, but by the most carbon efficient manner, which is easy cargo bikes. we will also encompass collecting organisation footways, which we will then look to com post and will put back into the community as well. very innovative, very fresh. we believe it has a solution to smarter, more sustainable cities of tomorrow. already sustainable and about cutting those carbon emission. we heard from keep scotland beautiful

earlier, who manage funding, climate challenge funding it is called, given by the scottish government. your project is another one that has benefited from that funding, it is that funding, is there a thriving number of groups in glasgow using that funding to basically make the city more carbon neutral? certainly there is a great cohort of groups, sort of, micro—projects that are utilising the fund through try and get some behavioural change, as well. how important are those sorts of projects on that scale to make a logical tradition to that goal for 2030? you had mentioned earlier, it does take government intervention, it does take large—scale projects to get to that goal. but it takes both, both the small scale, neighbourhood

projects, because that is where live, that people is what they see, thatis live, that people is what they see, that is where they are in the space in the city. rashid, and what is your take on that ground up approach to driving that carbon neutral goal? we believe it is very much strategic and grassroots, and bringing them live together. there is a wide gap between policy makers, between people who thrive climate change, and actually, grassroots, especially within the diverse groups who are not thinking anyway near what we think they are thinking in terms of climate change and reducing carbon emissions. very much thinking, how can we make that change at a grassroots level, how can we make it prolific, how can we make it engaging and fun? we believe it is balancing both. actually, the change for 2020 has to come from the ground. very briefly, a quick word

from you both on whether you think this target is achievable, it is certainly ambitious, everybody says that we need to be ambitious, but do you think it is achievable?” that we need to be ambitious, but do you think it is achievable? i think so, ithink you think it is achievable? i think so, i think we just go for it, we ta ke so, i think we just go for it, we take all of our resources that we can and threw them at the target. do our best. well, glasgow is a great city, a bit like solveig does, we a lwa ys city, a bit like solveig does, we always punch a bit above our weight. we would love to, it is really ambitious, it will be really tough, it would take huge change, but i would like to think that glasgow can do it. fascinating to hear about your projects, it really ties into what we're doing here today in glasgow, talking about projects on all sorts of scales and how they met at up to contribute here in glasgow to that goal of being carbon neutral in the city by 2030. later on, i will be talking to the leader of

glasgow city council, more about those plans. also coming up soon, we will be answering more of your questions on climate change. to find out more about climate change and what you can do, go to our website: ina in a moment, the business needs. first, a look at the headlines. the city of glasgow wants to become carbon neutral in the next ten years leading the fight against climate change. psychiatrists call for social media companies to hand over their data so they can research what the online world does to children's mental health. iran's supreme leader has led friday prayers in tehran for the first time in eight years.

here's your business headlines on afternoon live. retail sales fell again in december as a christmas shopping spree failed to materialise. monthly volumes fell by 0.6% in december, the fifth month in a row without growth — that's according to the office for national statistics. flybe has denied reports it received a payment holiday of up to £100 million from the state. the regional airline says it's agreed a payment plan with hmrc for "less than £10m" and only for a "matter of months" before the tax and duties are paid off. nontheless, rival airline bosses say the arrangment is unfair. china's economy grew last year at the slowest pace in almost three decades. official figures show that the world's second largest economy expanded by 6.1% in 2019 from the year before. it comes after almost two years of trade tensions with the us and weak

domestic demand. an update for oz on foreign exchange? the boss of travelex has broken his silence since it was under cyber attack on new year's eve, stopping the sale atomic movement of money from banks and supermarkets today. we got this video from the ferrum's boss, tenant issues, saying that the it system was not working again. is the website up and running again? no word on that yet. as we understand it, customers will still be unable to order currency or through the network of banks that they use, including barclays, lloyds and rbs

we re including barclays, lloyds and rbs were stopped also, the financial side of sainsbury‘s and tesco. there has been little said since this took place on new year's eve. we have had a few little publicity updates from travelex itself, generally, little is known about what happened. what happened. what we know is that reportedly it was held to ransom by cybercriminals on new year's eve, demanding, we think, some £4.6 million to unencrypted digital files that they took. it was a big deal. a different type of money, a record—breaking coin? this coin, featuring the profile of edward viii who famously advocated in order to marry wallis simpson, therefore, not being able to become king. this coin has now been bought for £1 million, more than double

what it was last previously bought for by a collector, making it the most valuable coin in the uk. on the line, i have the expert behind all of lists. rebecca morgan. rebecca, how do you value a coin of the so sought after and so rare? it is actually invaluable, as you hunted towards, it really does come down towards, it really does come down towards what the seller is willing towards what the seller is willing to sell it for and how much someone is going to pay for it. at the royal mint, you have this very special estate of the art world in the south wales, that looks at a value on these incredibly rare coins? yes we have the vindication of valuation service, it would use state—of—the—art technology and archives from the original

documentation to value and authenticate these historic coins. this coin, it was last sued for it then recurred £516,000, back in 2014, obviously, we now know it has been bought again by a collectorfor double that amount. why the huge increase? generally, with coins like this, because they are so rare, it comes down to how much and we the coin and how much somebody is willing to pay for it. we now this particular collector was trying to build a collection of sovereigns, this would be a star piece in that collection. when we found we could locate the coin, we started negotiations, that is where the price came from. the reason this one is so valuable because at this coin is so valuable because at this coin is one of a trial set ofjust six, they never went into mass production, as i understand it,

edward viii didn't even receive a coin when he requested one after his abdication. are there other historical nuances around this? are they all important through the story and providence behind it? for example, it is also facing the wrong way because he believed that one side of his face was the better profile? absolutely, it is an interesting coin, the main fact is that it interesting coin, the main fact is thatitis interesting coin, the main fact is that it is the con that never was, it never went into mass production, we only know of six. four of them are in institutions. we now this is the only one available on a secondary market today, that is why it makes it so desirable for collectors. thank you for talking to us. see you in an hour, alice. seismologists in the philippines are continuing to warn

of a possibility of a hazardous eruption at taal volcano despite a reduction of activity in the main crater. the philippine institute of volcanology and seismology say constant earthquakes and newly formed fissures in surrounding towns suggests the volcano is still in a dangerous phase. howard johnson sent this report from the border of the off limit town agoncillio, where he found some residents desperate to return home. nearly a week after taal volcano began erupting, the once towering column of steam and ash now reduced to just a few puffs of smoke. but state seismologists are continuing to warn of an imminent hazardous eruption — and here's why. there have been 600 earthquake since the eruption last monday. you can see a massive crack in the road here, and it runs all the way along here, across the pavement and down to this building here, right underneath the foundations of the building. philippine scientists say this means magma, or molten rock, is rising inside the taal volcano, triggering seismic activity

and fissures in the ground. and there are other worrying signs, too. this is the pansipit river, which runs away from taal volcanic lake to the sea. a local fisherman told us that the river had been drying up since the eruption, probably the result of fissures opening up under the lake. but despite the official warnings, many people from off—limit towns are still attempting to return to their family homes. we're on the outskirts of agoncillio here, and as you can see, it's incredibly dusty. if ijust kick my feet up, you can see the dust, the fine ash, coming up. the army here are enforcing a curfew, so they are allowing people to leave with their pets and their livestock, taking them out to safety. the government say more than 90,000 people are now safely in evacuation centres, like this one in alfonso. but for mary rose and her two daughters, a week without home comforts has been a strain. translation: i've been scared

because it's just us, it's just the three of us. if i don't hold it together, we are going to suffer. i have to be strong. the not knowing of if or when taal will have a major eruption is clearly taking a toll on peoples‘ nerves. howard johnson, bbc news, agoncillio. that is the three of them arriving in antiqua while bringing someone of their home time with them. they were chewed on by family and friends after completing their

record—breaking voyage. we heard from the brothers earlier to explain how they dealt with each other‘s company how they dealt with each other‘s co m pa ny 24/7 how they dealt with each other‘s com pa ny 24/7 for how they dealt with each other‘s company 24/7 for the duration of the journey. being brothers, ithink that i shall play to our advantage. quite a large part of the row, because we now see. . . quite a large part of the row, because we now see... each other so well, our thresholds are pretty similar, so if we are in difficult situations, we all got to that point where we knew we had to make a coin, kind of at the same time, i think there was a real benefit for us.” think also honesty, because we are brothers, we can be very direct and honest with each other. that definitely helps in a difficult scenario. i was so, the three of us a lwa ys scenario. i was so, the three of us always have the same thread. anytime there is disparity in a team and two quys there is disparity in a team and two guys have different goals, you have problems here. we were always about enjoying it as much as we could,

giving it as well as we could. we could share that. the successful brother safely on dry land in antiqua. time for a look at the weather forecast. a big change in our weather to sunnier and drier weather over the next few days. today is an un—day, and showers, indeed, there are shower pans crossing the uk today, extreme showers stretching all the way up to the mid—atlantic, sting quite unsettled, at least for the next few hours with these two bands of showers pushing eastwards, then showers will continue into scotland overnight and into tomorrow's well. there was that top official with the aim of this evening, many will dry away overnight, the exception being the northern and western areas of scotla nd the northern and western areas of scotland where they will continue to be blue and ensure thanks to those onshore winds. temperatures away

from the north—west taking a bit of a plunge, could be patches of frost developing, temperatures potentially down to —2, minus three celsius in northern ireland by the end of the night. this weekend is dominated by this massive area of high pressure, expected to close to hundred 50 million millibars, one of the strongest and high cycling is in the last 20 or 30 years. as we were goes, dry weather to come, plenty of sunshine, but coal to start off the mornings. —— about cold just that of the mornings. plenty of sunshine, not much cloud plenty of morning showers, tending to ease off and become less widespread in the afternoon but there could be one or two still. temperatures close to normalfor two still. temperatures close to normal for the two still. temperatures close to normalfor the time of two still. temperatures close to normal for the time of year. saturday night turns cold underneath clear skies, a fairly widespread frost in the forecast. sunday

morning starts off cold and frosty, there could be isolated patches of fog. sunshine from dawn till dusk for most of us, should be dry for western areas of scotland, may be hazy sunshine at times. temperatures, highs of around 6 to eight celsius, most of us can look forward to very dry and settled, sunny weekend. sunny conditions last into next week, but the weather has a tendency to turn cloudy but there should still be a little dry weather.

hello, you're watching afternoon live. the headlines... the city of glasgow wants to become carbon neutral in the next ten years — leading the fight against climate change. carbon neutral by 2030 is a big challenge, it's certainly one that we're taking very seriously, and it's not enough for a few people in the council to be working on it. it's a challenge that everybody has to take part in, that we need to get everybody across the city engaged with, and that we need to be working on now. i'm at the glasgow science centre where we will be answering more of your questions on climate change as the city tries to reach that goal of being carbon neutral by 2030. psychiatrists call for social media companies to hand over their data — so they can research what the online world does to children's mental health.

iran's supreme leader defends the country's military after it shot down a passenger plane as he leads friday prayers. and coming up in sport later in the hour on bbc news. england's cricket is in confident mood. england have dominated the second day of the third test match against south africa. ollie pope and ben stokes with centuries as england declared on 499—9. donbass then took a couple of wickets to reduce the hosts to 60—2 at the close —— dom bess. a turbulent week of weather with wet and windy weather but a dramatic change in the conditions sees a high pressure aspect of the weekend and that means a lot of dry weather with sunshine. edward viii's and sovereign becomes the first coin to be bought for £1 million. —— an

edward viii sovereign. hello, this is afternoon live. glasgow recently became the first city in the uk to pledge to become completely carbon—neutral. it's promising to do so within the next ten years — that will mean radically cutting emissions. glasgow hosts an international summit on climate change later this year — and we're looking at the changes the city is making as part of our series our planet matters. my colleague annita mcveigh is in glasgow today. welcome back to the glasgow science centre on the banks of the river clyde and just over on the other side of the river later this year glasgow will be the focus of the

world, the exhibition centre in the city which will be the hub for the united nations climate conference, thought to be the most important one since the paris agreement was signed in 2015. 2020 is so important because the ipcc the intergovernmental panel on climate change, the un body that assesses the climate science which is out there, has said that this is absolutely the crucial year to cut carbon emissions if globally the world is to avoid that 1.5 celsius in global temperatures that would lead to even more serious consequences in terms of what is happening with our climate. already as we have seen illustrated around the world this year, many serious consequences, like the australian bushfires which david attenborough was talking about yesterday with our

science editor, and it is against the backdrop, that glasgow finds itself a real focus this year including because of course it is targeting to become carbon neutral by 2030. really ambitious, that target, but everyone i've spoken to today says it is absolutely right and proper that the city should be ambitious and they say what's the to that? it has been interesting to hear about the different scales of project. from city council level to scottish government level, of course, and those micro—projects, grassroots projects in the community, trying to trigger changes in people's behaviour. to find out more about those changes and the speed at which they need to take place our science editor has been out and about in the city to ask how it can achieve that goal. the morning rush hour in glasgow. commuters pour into scotland's

biggest city, nearly all their cars releasing pollution. motorways run straight through glasgow. for decades, the car has been king. but now there is a radical plan to go carbon neutral. new charging points for electric vehicles are being installed. the aim is to make the city green in ten years. and the council's gritting lorries are going to be adapted to run on clean hydrogen, as well as diesel. but this is only one very small part of a long list of what needs to be done. how big a challenge is it? getting to carbon neutral by 2030 is a big challenge, it's certainly one that we're taking very seriously, and it's not enough for a few people in the council to be working on it. it's a challenge that everybody has to take part in, that we need to get everybody across the city engaged with, and that we need to be working on now. already, more and more of the uk's

electricity is becoming carbon free. here, on the edge of glasgow, is one of europe's largest wind farms. there are big plans for many more turbines, and more solar panels, but going totally carbon neutral won't be easy. we've done some studies recently which show that we need to start installing 4000 heat pumps and electric vehicle charging points every day across the uk... every day? every day, in order to meet the targets that we've set ourselves for becoming carbon neutral. is that remotely feasible? if we start now. hardest of all will be making glasgow's housing greener, and that's the case across the country because most homes are heated by gas. the mass of pipes being worked on here is part of a scheme to draw warmth from the river clyde and use it to heat an entire district. we're not burning anything on the site, that's the beauty of it... i asked dave pearson, who is in charge of the project, if glasgow is really on course to be carbon neutral. i don't think so.

i think, in all honesty, momentum is all about progress. there's lots of ideas, lots of talk, but we need to actually decide that the city will become gas free by a date and how best to do that. at the moment, we haven't even started. it's hard to believe, as things stand, how glasgow or any major city could possibly be carbon neutral in as little as ten years' time. but the council says it wants to send the signal that at least it's trying. and this matters because an international summit on climate change is due to take place here in november, and the world will be watching what this city does. david shukman, bbc news, in glasgow. as the report indicated, how do you get that behaviour change, how do you get the level of coordination required to bring about a significant reduction in carbon emissions because do the big oil companies invest heavily in charging

points on forecourts around scotland if people are not actually changing their behaviour and getting into electric cars? and is the grid in place to deliver that sort of energy, renewable energy? many structural logistic questions to be worked out and that will be a real task for glasgow in the decade ahead and of course will feed into the questions that delegates consider at the climate conference later in the year. i will be answering your questions. welcome experts will be answering them, but i will be asking those questions —— well, experts will be answering them. in the meantime, to find out more about climate change and what you can do in the fight against climate change, you can go to our website. for the moment, back to the studio. studio: you sell yourself short, i'm

sure you could do it! i would try, i really would. i know, you would be very good. we will hear from anita later. 18—year—old connor marshall was beaten to death in 2015 by david bratton who was on probation. today the assistant coroner said the caseworker was woefully inadequate and overwhelmed by her workload. he was jailed for life for mr marshall's murder. we can go to our correspondent who is in cardiff, can you tell people more about this. this goes back to 2015, connor marshall this goes back to 2015, connor ma rs hall left this goes back to 2015, connor marshall left the family home overnight, he was due to be back in the family home at the following

morning for his mother's birthday but at 730 the following morning it was not him at the door but the police to tell his mother he had been brutally attacked by david braddon, he had been beaten to death bya braddon, he had been beaten to death by a serial offender on parole for drug offences and beating a police officer. to give you context, the probation service was privatised in the uk in 2014 a decision which has been reversed as of last year because of much criticism. the company that looked after the probation service in wales had concerns raised about them by the unions only recently. david braddon's probation officer was said to have been overwhelmed by the work she had and she was said to be new to her role and that was woefully mismanaged. following the conclusion today, connor marshall's mother gave a statement in which she blamed the

privatisation of the probation service for her son's death. thomas, for the moment, thanks forjoining us. leading psychiatrists have said companies like facebook should be forced to hand over their data to researchers, so they can study whether social media technology is harmful to children. the royal college of psychiatrists wants independent experts to assess how youngsters are affected by their experiences online, amid concern from parents and schools. here's angus crawford. she had so much to offer. molly russell's death... and that's gone. ..sparked a national outcry. these are companies that count their profits in the billions, and they turn round and say to us that they can't protect our children? questions about young people and mental health... do you have the power to compel them to do what you think needs to be done? yes, absolutely. focussing public anger on the tech giants and demands for greater regulation. announced in the queen's speech, the government's plans for a new independent regulator

and a statutory duty of care. my ministers will develop legislation to improve internet safety for all. but the royal college of psychiatrists wants tougher action. social—media companies are very wealthy, they've got a huge amount of knowledge, they can create complex algorithms which hook young people into their platforms. why can't they be using that same amount of energy, knowledge and funding to try and harness the positive benefits, and help try and protect children and young people more? tech giants should be forced to share data with university researchers. and be taxed on their global turnover. new apps should be designed to be age—appropriate. molly russell's father ian fully backs the plans. and if there was a levy that was forced upon them so that they had to pay, it would be a tiny amount in terms of their profits, but it only needs to provide for good, proper academic research with anonymised data

so that the whole world can better understand the sort of problems that are driving young people into desperate places. radical solutions which may not be popular with an industry making billions from the children using its products. angus crawford, bbc news. iran's supreme leader, ayatollah ali khamenei, has led friday prayers in tehran for the first time in almost a decade. he's appealed for unity following anti—government demonstrations in iran over the shooting down of a passenger plane by the country's military. paul adams reports. chanting a potent display of loyalty, for a leader underfire. this has been a turbulent fortnight for ayatollah ali khamenei. his first appearance at friday prayers since 2012 a chance to reassert his authority and rally his supporters. it's been two weeks since the supreme leader's most trusted general was killed in an american

drone strike outside baghdad airport. the man looking down on worshippers, now revered as a martyr. those who killed him condemned in familiarfashion. translation: the spokesmen of the wicked american government have said repeatedly they are on the side of the iranian people. they are lying. iran's revolutionary guard is under rare pressure, the subject of angry protests over its role in shooting down a ukrainian passenger plane. the supreme leader called the crash a bitter accident, but said general soleimani's quds force was a humanitarian organisation, with human values. translation: those few hundred people who insulted the picture of our proud martyr, commander soleimani, are they the people of iran? or this great million strong

crowd in the streets? iran's revenge for the general‘s death has, so far, been limited to missile strikes on bases housing american troops in iraq. washington initially said no one was hurt, but now admits at least 11 of its troops were treated for concussion. the threat of further conflict seems, for now, to have receded. but ayatollah khamenei's defiant words suggest the underlying differences remain as deep as ever. these are the headlines... the city of glasgow wants to become carbon neutral in the next ten years, leading the fight against carbon change. psychiatrists and campaigners have called for social media companies to be forced to hand over data to universities research into the potential harms of using technology. to universities research into the

iran's supreme leader ali khamenei has led friday prayers today. that was the first time in eight yea rs. that was the first time in eight years. and in sport, dom bess takes two wickets to leave england a strong position after the second day of the third test match. saracens could be relegated from the rugby union premiership in days unless they can prove they are now complying with the salary cap rules. they have already been fined and docked points. liverpool could be without the likes of mo sal injanuary as the african cup of nations moves back to earlier in the year —— salah. juergen klopp says it is a catastrophe for the club. welcome back to the glasgow science centre where we will be asking and

answering more of your questions. time to answer some more now and we have a professor from the glasgow school of geographical and earth sciences and also our bbc environmental correspondent. kevin, this is a question from ben baker who asks what percentage of global emissions is as a result of ordinary people worldwide as opposed to business, government, agriculture. i'm not going to be able to give you a percentage figure but what it alludes to is exactly how this stuff is accounted for and counted. you have pretty much all of it down to industry and other areas, so in scotla nd industry and other areas, so in scotland transport is the big source of emissions, the biggest followed by agriculture and land use and each

of those are down to individual actions that we take, so if we get in ourcarand take actions that we take, so if we get in our car and take a journey from here to london or something like that, or we go and eat a big steak, that, or we go and eat a big steak, that adds to the net figure, but in terms of how much of that you can a tribute to individuals rather than the way it is accounted for, it is really difficult to do, unless you ta ke really difficult to do, unless you take one of these online calculators and try to get a fairly loose idea of that individual figure, but in terms of the official way it is calculated it is down to industries and different groups of sectors essentially. lots of people would say even small actions when you multiply that across many millions of people, if millions of people are taking those actions, they add up. absolutely, and everything is down to individual action, so you might wa nt to individual action, so you might want big government statements and manoeuvres and actions to be the ones that really drive a lot of

this, but we have seen over the course of the last year with the youth movement and with greta thunberg and a lot of her prominence, we have seen from that what impact that can have on the actions of governments and leaders across the world. professor, this is from robert clark in essex, who asks as the planet temperature increases and the polar ice begins to melt, doesn't the rate of evaporation increase as temperature does? so the question of whether we can expect sea—level rises? question of whether we can expect sea-level rises? excellent question. the earth is a system, there is increased evaporation around the tropics and that is responsible for a redistribution of energy, meaning the tropical storms and hurricanes, the tropical storms and hurricanes, the more frequency we see in terms of flooding events and those sort of things, but in terms of sea—level rises and the polar ice caps melting, we know that is contributing to sea—level rise and

what we thought previously was based on models that did not really fully understand the way ice caps melt and now we know more about then we are expecting higher levels of sea—level rise and rates of sea—level rise then we thought previously. question now from leslie in exeter, kevin, how do we replace gas central heating to use renewable energy, what are the costs and money and changes to homes? multiple options and one as you can replace it with something like an air source pump which uses electricity but takes the airfrom the atmosphere which uses electricity but takes the air from the atmosphere and it takes
