9:37 am
with me arejournalist and author, shyama perera and ali miraj a columnist at the article. let us look at the front pages. the observer leads with warning of a climate catastrophe — quoting alok sharma, the minister in charge of the cop26 talks to be held in glasgow this year. the telegraph also focuses on climate change — saying that the prime minister's green agenda is facing chaos due to the effect it could have on working—class families. the express leads on covid and the travel industry — saying borisjohnson is being urged to cut the costs of covid tests for foreign travel. travel is the lead for the mirror too — which claims foreign secretary dominic raab avoided travel rules after returning from france. education is the main story for the times, which says top universities are refusing to bring back full face to face teaching this autumn, despite government advice that they can lift all
9:38 am
covid restrictions. and the mail delivers the final verdict for the alpaca who tested positive for tb — as the environment secretary confirms geronimo will be put down — despite the animal's owner appealing to him as a last resort. so let's begin... plenty to get our teeth into. let us start with the observer and those climate talks, ahead of the talks, the climate change warning. we have heard this time and again and we are now seeing the evidence of that in the extreme weather in greece, california. the extreme weather in greece, california-— california. absolutely and the observer has _ california. absolutely and the observer has an _ california. absolutely and the observer has an exclusive - california. absolutely and the - observer has an exclusive interview with alok sharma who earlier this week was being pilloried for having visited 30 countries in a couple of weeks, at a time when we are
9:39 am
supposed to be quarantined and not using fossil shows etc. it is very interesting because he is feeling the heat and copped 26 holds interview and we are putting the position where we need to do more than just posture. we position where we need to do more thanjust posture. we need position where we need to do more than just posture. we need to create change within the uk and i think what he's trying to do in this interview is say we need to get moving on this. as is always the way with government ministers, they make their views on their concerns known to us through the media rather than through meetings at number ten. yes. through meetings at number ten. yes, there is a story — through meetings at number ten. yes, there is a story on _ through meetings at number ten. yes, there is a story on that _ through meetings at number ten. yes, there is a story on that very point we will come to later. your take on this? fora we will come to later. your take on this? for a long time it felt like the warnings related to some final problem, we are now seeing it is very much problem in the present. i think that is right and just to pick on the point you make about
9:40 am
regarding it as a fad of problem, mark carne gave a speech in 2015 when he talked about the tragedy of the horizon, he was talking about the horizon, he was talking about the fact that bankers in particular when they led money to certain companies do not look at the long—term impacts of those company's behaviour in relation to climate change in the same tragedy on the horizon can be applied to governments who are not looking at the long—term impacts of decisions they're making on the planet. i do not think at the moment that the younger generation in particular will put up with this. we have seen that people are getting increasingly agitated about stepping up, they need to use cop 26, stick to the national determined contribution, actually have action plans to deal with them. you mention the issues in greece and we had excessive flooding in germany and belgium, blighting
9:41 am
lives. this is a serious issue and alok sharma is saying last year was a hottest year on record, the last decade was a hottest on record and these are serious issues and need to beat dealt with and action needs to beat dealt with and action needs to be taken urgently by governments. the sunday telegraph leads on the prime minister's green agenda being plunged into chaos, in its words. i suppose part of it is down to government and part of it to individuals. here we are talking on the day when travel becomes significantly easier, restrictions are relaxed on returning from france, the pandemic change the way we think about the pandemic, we would become green and fly less but so some of us are so desperate to see blue skies and warmer climate, we get on a plane at first opportunity? fist we get on a plane at first opportunity?— we get on a plane at first 0- ortuni ? �* ., ., , opportunity? at the moment that is siml opportunity? at the moment that is simply because _ opportunity? at the moment that is

simply because we _ opportunity? at the moment that is simply because we have _ opportunity? at the moment that is simply because we have come - opportunity? at the moment that is simply because we have come out | opportunity? at the moment that is| simply because we have come out of this period of lockdown. a lot of people just want to stretch their legs and arms and run in the sunshine but that does not follow thatis sunshine but that does not follow that is setting the path for the future. i think 26 will concentrate our minds much more clearly on what is happening. it is notjust the changes we have seen in the weather across europe now as it comes closer to home, there are changes we need to home, there are changes we need to make for rich countries who are resistant to cutting emissions. people flying on holidays are very small part of that. but what the sunday telegraph is looking at is the cost of it all. we have been hearing about the cost of people having to bring in new boilers which will cost £10,000, per families cannot afford that. fairly comfortable of families will struggle to afford that as well. in london where i live, you have the
9:43 am
north circular road and south circular road where three months, anybody crossing them in old cars will have to pay £12 50 which means my 90—year—old mother in her 12—year—old car coming to .5 miles to visit me for lunch will have to pay £12 50 every time. will that hurt? yes, of course. it is all being done to force us to concentrate on what is required up ahead. we talk about horizons but in ahead. we talk about horizons but in a small way, we are seeing the horizon, there are cycle lanes everywhere. that will bring down driving but it is big stuff that needs to be done. but in order to get the big stuff done, it has to be bottom—up and it will cost you and me and all of those people out there a lot of money to actually hit the targets we are setting ourselves. it
9:44 am
is interesting, because in this article there is a reference to the treasury review being pushed back because of fears that there will be a public backlash when they saw where the cost of this windfall, it described in the words of the article, and a barbed joke mr johnson threatened to demote rishi sunakfrom johnson threatened to demote rishi sunak from chancellor to health secretary. the sunday times says instead of a joke it is a very real threat. instead of a “oke it is a very real threat. , , , , threat. this is where the rubber hits the road _ threat. this is where the rubber hits the road when _ threat. this is where the rubber hits the road when it _ threat. this is where the rubber hits the road when it comes - threat. this is where the rubber hits the road when it comes to l hits the road when it comes to actually— hits the road when it comes to actually tough decisions. on the one hand, _ actually tough decisions. on the one hand. when— actually tough decisions. on the one hand, when it comes to climate change. — hand, when it comes to climate change, the prime minister is determined to be seen in the world stage _ determined to be seen in the world stage and _ determined to be seen in the world stage and global britain at cop 26 but the _ stage and global britain at cop 26 but the real issue as it will cost mohey— but the real issue as it will cost money as— but the real issue as it will cost money as you have both said. the prime _ money as you have both said. the prime minister is also concerned, at this issue _ prime minister is also concerned, at this issue of— prime minister is also concerned, at this issue of potentially demoting rishi sunak. he is not happy because

9:47 am
overfrom lecturer in university. he has come over from vancouver having been teaching there for six months. he is going to meet all his academic team here in london for a couple of weeks but then returning to vancouver to teach the first term from vancouver remotely so you know, it is happening everywhere, notjust happening everywhere, not just unnamed happening everywhere, notjust unnamed universities but actually in a large number of universities. i think for young people who would so benefit from face—to—face teaching, if nothing else to engage them and provide the energy and animation that keeps young minds moving and alive, ifeel very that keeps young minds moving and alive, i feel very sorry for this cohort and the ongoing problems in their universities in terms of teaching. i am sure there teaching well but the mental health of young people, the physical health of young people, the physical health of young people who are just sitting at
9:48 am

9:51 am
opposition because there's much nonsense going on with one rule for them and one rule for us. these are moments when a good opposition could really be skewering the current administration. personally i cannot see how they can do theirjobs without breaking the rules but the problem is they are enforcing rules on the rest of us and people are starting to chafe but none the moment —— but nonetheless these are golden moments for an active opposition which are being completely lost. we opposition which are being completely lost.— opposition which are being comletel lost. ~ ., completely lost. we are powering ahead because _ completely lost. we are powering ahead because time _ completely lost. we are powering ahead because time is _ completely lost. we are powering ahead because time is running . completely lost. we are powering i ahead because time is running away with as. the next story is in the telegraph, the ongoing situation with people in desperate situations trying to cross the channel, for hundred and 82 people try to make the crossing on one day, wednesday this week. == the crossing on one day, wednesday this week. i ~ the crossing on one day, wednesday this week. j~ , ., , the crossing on one day, wednesday this week. j~ , .,, ':: :: :: :: this week. -- 482 people. 10,000 this week. -- 482 people. 10,000 this ear this week. -- 482 people. 10,000 this year have _ this week. -- 482 people. 10,000 this year have tried _ this week. -- 482 people. 10,000 this year have tried to _ this week. -- 482 people. 10,000 this year have tried to make - this week. -- 482 people. 10,000 this year have tried to make the i this year have tried to make the crossing and it is a very dangerous
9:52 am
crossing. priti patel has tried various means, we have heard she will try to banish these potential migrants to island —— to ascension island etc, that did not work. there was a plan to pump waves to push the boats back and that did not work. the latest plan is to liaise with the french government authorities to take these migrants back. the eu is being reported in the newspaper that they are scuppering this because it does not want france doing bilateral deals with the uk on return of migrants or asylum—seekers, it wants to manage that process itself and it is not being responsive so it looks like in the post—brexit shenanigans, this is a casualty of that. in the meantime, a lot of people are putting their lives at risk by crossing the channel dangerously and we have a serious problem here which needs to be dealt with urgently. ok.

needs to be dealt with urgently. ok, let's move on. _ needs to be dealt with urgently. ok, let's move on, the sunday times, i robot surgeon is being touted as a possible way to deal with big waiting bus during the pandemic. they have been using robots a lot, looking quickly in the story for prostate cancer operations. and also bladder and kidneys, so down below so to speak robots are used quite a lot but what we have been resistant to partly because of the price, and i imagine also because of the amount of training, is bringing in robots that can operate on all sorts of gynaecological, hearts, you name it, they can come in and it is much faster because it is done remotely and quickly. the patients are
9:54 am
inundated much more quickly. everything is smaller and neater. because of the huge queues we have now in the nhs for treatment post—pandemic, hospitals have up their budgets or opt the amounts from their budget being spent on bringing in robots. apparently this is happening worldwide so i predict a shortage of robotic devices shortly. a shortage of robotic devices shortl . ~ . , a shortage of robotic devices shortl . ~ , , , shortly. we will be very brief because we _ shortly. we will be very brief because we are _ shortly. we will be very brief because we are almost - shortly. we will be very brief because we are almost a - shortly. we will be very briefl because we are almost a third shortly. we will be very brief - because we are almost a third time, there ofjeremy corbyn, what you make of this? ii there of jeremy corbyn, what you make of this?— there of jeremy corbyn, what you make of this? if the labour party is lookin: to make of this? if the labour party is looking to restore _ make of this? if the labour party is looking to restore the _ make of this? if the labour party is looking to restore the web - make of this? if the labour party is looking to restore the web to - make of this? if the labour party is. looking to restore the web to jeremy corbyn. _ looking to restore the web to jeremy corbyn. if— looking to restore the web to jeremy corbyn, if that is the answer i think— corbyn, if that is the answer i think there answering the wrong question — think there answering the wrong question. —— restore the whip. a strong _ question. —— restore the whip. a strong opposition should be putting the ball— strong opposition should be putting the ball in the back of the net and they are _ the ball in the back of the net and they are not, they are inward looking. _ they are not, they are inward looking, focused on this irrelevance, the issue ofjeremy corbyn — irrelevance, the issue ofjeremy corbyn. this story is that a number

papers. i will see you soon, goodbye. hello, hello everyone. i hope you're doing all right. with a presence of heavy showers across much of the uk today and sunny spells, you mightjust catch a rainbow out there and although that sounds quite nice, some of the showers won't be. as with yesterday, slow—moving, heavy, thundery downpours, and the reason why we're seeing these is down to this area of low pressure. now, very slowly this is moving towards the north, and in doing so, i think some southern parts of the uk should see something a bit brighter and drier today. the south east seeing some sunshine initially and some scotland as well. then the showers swirling around that low, i think will reach most parts. but as with yesterday, some sunny spells in between. quite windy at times, especially across southern parts, thanks to the low again. and today's top temperatures, well, nothing too dazzling, between 18 and 20 celsius. as we head through towards this
9:58 am
evening, the low pressure is still with us, introducing further, heavy, slow—moving showers. some of these, as you can see, bunching together into longer more prolonged spells of rain and through today and this evening, some of them could to localised flooding. more in the way of drier weather starting to creep in, though. temperatures tonight down to 13 or 14 celsius. tomorrow, the low pressure is still nearby and is still likely to introduce more of those showers a couple of weather fronts drift across the uk which in turn will bring some spells of rain across southern parts, you can see one here draped across northern ireland, the north of england, into southern parts of scotland. these will bring showers and more of those showers will tend to build through the day. but i think many of us, especially across parts of england and wales, will more of that sunshine and brightness tomorrow and those top temperatures, as you can see, in a similar sort of place, may be getting to 19 or 20 celsius at best.
9:59 am
now, as we cast an eye upon tuesday, the low is slowly creeping away from us, and we have a little ridge of high pressure trying to build, so, a better day. this is en route, however, another weather front will swing towards us as we head towards wednesday. introducing some rain into northern ireland, western parts of scotland at first — it looks like we will see it moving across more eastern parts of the uk. again introducing cloud and some rain as well. temperatures potentially climbing just a touch as we head through the middle of this week, but it looks like things are likely to turn a bit less settled once more as we look towards the end of this week. we'll keep you posted, of course. that's the forecast. stay safe, see you soon.
