butjust look what happens when you add a little bit of pure oxygen. methane is a much more potent greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide. each molecule has 120 times the effect, and the real difference between methane and carbon dioxide is that methane breaks down after about a decade. but carbon dioxide will be with us for thousands of years. methane concentrations in the atmosphere have been steadily increasing, but because it breaks down so quickly in the air, the un says if we can cut emissions, we can rapidly get rid of this powerful warming gas. that means urgently tackling the methane produced by the oil and gas industry, by agriculture, and in our waste.
10:31 pm
methane is second only to carbon dioxide when it comes to driving climate change, and the assessment shows that to put the world on a path that is consistent with the paris agreement target of the 1.5 degrees, methane emissions must be reduced by 45% by 2030. the report says the fossil fuel industry has the greatest potential to cut methane emissions cheaply by plugging leaks at oil and gas wells and at coal mines. but we can all do our bit to help. we can cut back on red meat and dairy, and if you get a compost collection, do always put your organic waste in it, because it's much easier for emissions to be controlled that way. and technology can help — a new network of high—resolution satellites has been laucnhed that can spot methane emissions. like the methane plume from this rubbish dump in the indonesian capital, jakarta. it's spewing methane equivalent

to the c02 from 750,000 cars. and methane is also linked to air pollution that causes tens of thousands of deaths a year worldwide — yet another reason, says the un, to start reducing emissions right now. justin rowlatt, bbc news. football, and manchester united and arsenal have both been in action in the last four of the europa league, looking to make it to the final later this month in poland. 0ur correspondent katie gornall was watching the games. manchester united in rome, arsenal at home. with an all english champions league final already set up, here was a chance to make it a full house for the premier league in europe. for arsenal against villareal, the stakes couldn't be higher. a place in the europa league final could save their season. aubameyang hits the post! 2—1 down from the first leg, every inch would have to be earned. pierre—emerick aubameyang has
10:33 pm
endured a fraught season on and off the pitch. his dry spell in front of goal continued in the first half. this would be tense. arsenal needed goals. the second half brought more urgency but not accuracy, and time was running out. aubameyang has delivered on this stage before, with ten minutes left, could he do so again? well, this was the painful answer. it was the best arsenal could muster. while villareal celebrate their first european final, arsenal are left to ponder how it all unravelled. after a turbulent week, manchester united were sitting very comfortably in rome. they started this game 6—2 up and as half—time approached, roma's hopes all but ended with a chance expertly timed and ruthlessly seized by edinson cavani. the italians were out but they would go out fighting. edin dzeko, once of city, made his mark, before bryan cristante cut united's cushion to three goals. after united equalised, roma would go on to have the final say,
10:34 pm
scoring their 13th goal of this frantic tie. what a way to reach your first final as manchester united manager. katie gornall, bbc news. that's it. now on bbc one, time for the news where you are. have a very good night. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are social commentator, joanna jarjue, and political commentator and nonresident fellow at new york university, faiza shaheen. faiza was a candidate for the labour party for chingford were welcome to both of you. joanna, your first outing with us so lovely to have you with us.

let's take a look at some of tomorrow's front pages already in, starting with... the telegraph which leads on what it describes as the prime minister's defiance of pressure from teaching unions. quoting souces, the telegraph says that the pm is to announce next week that secondary school students won't need to wear facemasks in the classroom from later this month. the metro's front page is dominated by the the post—brexit fishing row — and the protest by french fishermen in jersey's territorial waters. the daily mail describes the same a story, and the decision by french fishermen to return to their ports, as the �*grand surrender�* and asks the question what could happen next. the ft�*s main story is the bank of england's forecast that the uk economy is set to grow at its fastest rate in more than 70 years. the guardian leads with an inquiry into public health spending — published by the lancet and the london school of economics — which claims over £100 million is needed to rebuild the nhs in the wake of the pandemic.

and teasing ahead to summer sun, the i says holiday—makers could save hundreds of pounds as travel firms offer covid testing kits at cut—price rates. so let's begin. with the metro and jersey. what you make of this, perhaps not so much initially the coverage, because we talked about more about it but the story in itself? i talked about more about it but the story in itself?— story in itself? i think a lot of --eole story in itself? i think a lot of peeple felt — story in itself? i think a lot of people felt like _ story in itself? i think a lot of people felt like it _ story in itself? i think a lot of people felt like it escalated l story in itself? i think a lot of. people felt like it escalated very quickly. it's very dramatic to hear of this showdown and even this talk from the french of cutting electricity to jersey. listening to reports and hearing about how it's been reported in france as well it's really the way in which exit issues are playing up with political leaders to people can see this is a
10:37 pm
teething issue of brexit and fisherman rights but also in the way that different countries are going to behave and how we are going to resolve these issues. to be honest, the way it has played out and was there was not any dramatic outcome of today and does feel like we are not handling this new relationship that well so far. in not handling this new relationship that well so far.— not handling this new relationship that well so far. in some ways the terrible excuse _ that well so far. in some ways the terrible excuse for _ that well so far. in some ways the terrible excuse for generalist - that well so far. in some ways the terrible excuse for generalist to i terrible excuse for generalist to recycle very old stereotypes, of course the french of scuttled away and the british too much of the french press are perfidious, they say one thing and you look at the small print they do something different. then we got various puns so the metro is smash and grab. and the sun is take spratt. is this good journalism or do you feel informed by what you are reading? i

10:42 pm
aspects of the covid response from bungled by the government and story after story of government corruption and the sleeves, it really will be, if the results are set to be as bad if the results are set to be as bad if you forward protecting the labour party, a kind of return to look at the strategy that keir starmer is using. because it's clearly not resonating and it is not working, we are hearing from young voters they don't want to vote for labour. for working—class voters in the north don't want to vote for labour. the coalition has complete the broken down and this will be a moment in which labour has to face the truth. we will leave the labour party for now but as you say stories and allegations of corruption that have been denied. 0nly fair to say that. then we will move on. joanna, you are talking about generational things. 0n are talking about generational things. on this alternative jabs for the under 405, my niece and nephew are in their early 205 and never
