that your animal is one of the 1 or 2%, maybe a little bit more, where it is a false positive result. a petition to spare geronimo has received around 100,000 signatures. a warrant from the courts means officials still have four weeks to put geronimo down. helen and a team of volunteers say they will do everything they can to stop that from happening. andrew plant, bbc news. time for a look at the weather. they come from darren bett. hello. hello there. just like over the weekend, we have got low pressure in charge of our weather today, which is why we are going to see more of these heavy and thundery downpours. but it is not as windy as it has been over the weekend, so when the sun is out, it may feel a little bit warmer. but we are seeing more of these showers breaking out at the moment, and through this morning some of the wettest weather has been
1:31 pm
in the central belt of scotland, now getting one or two thunderstorms with those downpours. it has been particularly wet around lothian and the borders into fife as well, more downpours to come here, and further south we are starting to see these showers breaking out across southern parts of england, they will be slow moving, heavy and thundery, the threat of some local flooding, and we could get showers into east anglia. there will be some sunshine around as well, but despite that sunshine, and those lighter winds, temperatures are not as high as they should be at this time of the year. there is heavy, thundery downpours that do develop this afternoon will develop into this evening before gradually fading away overnight. some clearer spells developing, a little mist here and there, and temperature should remain in double figures, typically 13 in towns and cities. heading into tomorrow we have got the prospect of more dry weather around for more of the country, and more sunshine too. can't rule out one or two showers in wales in the east of england, most
1:32 pm
of the showers in scotland but further north this time, so a drier day through the central belt, and it will cloud over a little more in the afternoon for northern ireland but with light winds and more sunshine, temperatures will be higher, up to 22 or 23 celsius. we have a little nose on higher temperatures on tuesday, but out into the atlantic, this low pressure is pushing well ahead of it this way the front which will change things on wednesday for northern and western parts of the uk. cloud, a stronger breeze and more rain coming to northern ireland, western parts of scotland, and i had a few showers breaking out in wales and western parts of england. further east through england, dry with some sunshine around, continuing to warm up a bit, 24 around, continuing to warm up a bit, 2a or even 25 degrees. under the rainbow in glasgow and belfast, 19 celsius here. the weather system bringing the rain on wednesday pushes some rain into england and wales on thursday, but not much at all, and then the low pressure will bring wet and windy weather to the north—west of the uk on friday. low
1:33 pm
pressure as to the north—west instead of right over the uk as it was over the weekend. so this weekend doesn't look like it is going to be quite as wet, and we will see those temperatures are rising a bit higher as well. that is it. darren, thank you very much indeed, darren, thank you very much indeed, darren bett. a reminder of our top story this lunchtime. it is code red for humanity. a united nations report says carbon emissions have warmed to the climate in every part of the globe. and that is all from the news at one four today. we join our news times wherever you are. by. good afternoon, i'm austin halewood with your latest sports news. the tokyo 0lympics came to a close yesterday, with team gb enjoying one of their most successful games — 22 golds won, in a total of 65
1:34 pm
medals, matching the achievement of london 2012. and within the last hour, many of team gb�*s medallists have landed at heathrow. laura kenny, who won a gold and a silver, and who also carried the flag in the closing ceremony, led the team off the plane with her husband, jason, gold medallist in the men's keirin, just behind. well, adam peaty has been back in the uk for a day or two, after winning two golds and a silver in tokyo, and he said he's already thinking ahead to paris in three years time. and he said he's already thinking ahead to paris in three years�* time. it is always in the back of your mind you are thinking how can do this again because it feels so good. but it is almost a tactical retreat now, i am choosing to take the time away from the sport because i know i want to peak again, if not, i want to have the best race
1:35 pm
of my life race in paris. it is going to be a home game pretty much, london is one hour away. british swimming is coming up so it is how do we get as many kids through. well, like peaty, max whitlock was another olympic champion to retain his title in tokyo. the gymnast won gold in the men's pommel horse, just like he did in rio five years earlier. he's been talking to us about the stress involved in defending an olympic title. i feel fortunate to have gone through both stages, as a youngster with itjust going all out and giving it my best shot, to now trying to retain titles, i've realised it is a million times harderfor quite a few reasons. part is the expectancy. 2018 was a year of silvers for me, to everybody else that was seen as a failure
1:36 pm
because i did not bring back gold medals but because i brought back a gold at the last olympics in rio everybody expects the same again, but as every year goes by it gets harder and harder. the pressure is there massively to not disappoint but the pressure from myself, and i learned being out in tokyo, i was seeing athletes from team gb coming back with medals and i had not yet had my opportunity to try for my own and i knew it was coming up, but i could really relate to them standing on the podium because i knew what it felt like and i really wanted to try and get that feeling again. my own pressure was wrapped up, outside pressure was wrapped up, so that was all coming together, waiting for so long to compete, it was difficult. england forward george burgess is returning to australia, to play for the nrl side st george illawarra dragons. he was released by wigan in february and had surgery on a hip injury which ruled him out of the 2021 super league season. before joining wigan last year
1:37 pm
he'd spent eight seasons with the south sydney rabbitohs, where his twin brother tom still plays. the rumours continue about where lionel messi will play next season. the record six—time ballon d'or winner said that french side paris saint germain is just one possibility, after ending his 21—year association with barcelona, who cannot afford to honour the new contract they agreed with him because of la liga's salary limit. well, fans in paris think they have their man. hundreds of them waited outside charles de gaul airport on sunday, hoping messi would arrive. there's been no sign of him yet, but plenty think he's on his way. well there's more on all of those stories on the bbc sport website. that's bbc.co.uk/sport but that's
1:38 pm
all the sport for now. welcome back. the british heart foundation is warning that the number of people waiting for heart surgery in england could rise by more than 40% by next spring. the government say it has invested £1 billion this year to reduce waiting lists. dr charmaine griffiths, ceo of the british heart foundation says without extra government funding, it would take between three and five years for treatment to return to pre—pandemic levels. there is no doubt that we are worried about what the increase in waiting lists would mean for so many people, even before the covid pandemic people were waiting too long for both procedures and surgery, with over 250,000 people waiting on this, and that is of course causing untold anxiety, as well as impacting people's health and their lives. and modelling out in a report today has shown that
1:39 pm
without intervention, if we face a tough winter, and also cardiac care and doesn't recover at the rate that we would hope, we might face a doubling of waiting lists byjanuary 2024, and that could take up to five years to clear. we are urging government to invest in cardiac care at this point, with a clear plan and clear investment, notjust to clear the backlog, but to make sure we've got our health system that can support everybody with heart and circulatory disease. a lot of people have been estimating what the backlog of care across the nhs and across the uk's four nations might we have looked at the challenges facing people and we are worried that peak could, that waiting list could peak at 500,000 people, and you are riling, the reason, there are lots of reasons behind that but we know people there been scared to come forward during the pandemic to seek hundred and reluctant to seek help, and also, that some people have been unable to do so, and we
1:40 pm
know that the nhs would call on anybody who was feeling unwell to seek help urgently, with an existing or new condition. the taliban has claimed it has captured aibak, the provincial capital of samangan province in afghanistan. if confirmed it would be the sixth provincial capital the group has seized in the past week. their offensive has been intensifying as western troops have been withdrawing from the country. let's speak to the bbc�*s syed anwar who is in kabul. kind of disturbing situation developing, is there any explanation of how and why the taliban have apparently been able to advance so quickly despite the presence of troops of the afghan army? weill. quickly despite the presence of troops of the afghan army? well, the afu han troops of the afghan army? well, the afghan government _ troops of the afghan army? well, the afghan government saying _ troops of the afghan army? well, the afghan government saying they - troops of the afghan army? well, the afghan government saying they are i afghan government saying they are preparing to launch again attacks in those provinces where taliban captured areas, to the military

1:43 pm
back taliban, but more they are not clear what is in the six month strategy, but afghan army officers, commanders and political leaders are saying they have, in six months, afghan people will see a change many ground situation in afghanistan. that is something to hope for but i guess it feels a long way off. is there any sign of for example of civilians trying to leave kabul? ida. civilians trying to leave kabul? no, from kabul — civilians trying to leave kabul? iifr, from kabul through is no sign of civilian leaving kabul but in those provinces where fighting is ongoing, they are displacing in a big number and civilians are also in prisoned today. unicef today says that in the past, 72 adults and 27 children

1:47 pm
is how sensitive it is. if you talk to scientists, they will say politicians have to get round this, they don't say meat or dairy or fish has to be banned. but they could at least set an example and... it would be a good idea to eat less. dr michal. i wonder if i could ask you a general question, what did you make of what was discussed and presented today at that conference? what we hear today from the ipcc which _ what we hear today from the ipcc which is _ what we hear today from the ipcc which is a — what we hear today from the ipcc which is a report commissioned by the world — which is a report commissioned by the world governments, so this is notjust— the world governments, so this is notjust a — the world governments, so this is notjust a science the world governments, so this is not just a science telling the world governments, so this is notjust a science telling us the world governments, so this is not just a science telling us what you do. — not just a science telling us what you do, this is governments asking us what _ you do, this is governments asking us what we — you do, this is governments asking us what we should do, and the report is superciear— us what we should do, and the report is superclear that climate change is happening — is superclear that climate change is happening now, fast and faster than we thought. what that means is even it may— we thought. what that means is even it may have _ we thought. what that means is even it may have been weird to admit you are a _ it may have been weird to admit you are a vegetarian a few years ago, these _ are a vegetarian a few years ago, these changes are necessary, these

1:54 pm
like the rains we had in northern europe, because moist air can carry more water, so the truth is people used to think about climate change being somewhere in the future, somewhere else, the truth is climate change is here, it is here now and it is going to get worse because we mentioned that 1.5 thresholdel, that is the amount we shouldn't exceed preindustrial temperatures, hitting that will be very very very tough, yet the same today on the panel we do hit it. we can restrict the worst catastrophes of climate change. 0therwise catastrophes of climate change. otherwise it is here with us now and it is here to stay. fik otherwise it is here with us now and it is here to stay.— it is here to stay. ok 0 let us end with tom's _ it is here to stay. ok 0 let us end with tom's question. _ it is here to stay. ok 0 let us end with tom's question. dr- it is here to stay. ok 0 let us end with tom's question. dr michal. l it is here to stay. ok 0 let us end i with tom's question. dr michal. tom asks he wants to get on with it. is there a good source for what we can do? how do we know how to help? that is an excellent — do? how do we know how to help? that is an excellent question, i am so glad _ is an excellent question, i am so glad many— is an excellent question, i am so glad many of you are asking these question. — glad many of you are asking these question, there is so much we can
