club by night, vaccine centre by day — the attempt to encourage more 18 to 29 year olds to have a covid jab. save geronimo — campaigners march on downing street later to demand a reprieve for the alpaca who's tested positive for bovine tb. good afternoon and welcome to the bbc news at one. good afternoon and welcome to the bbc news. a code red for humanity — that's how the biggest ever report on climate change is being described by the un secretary general. the study, produced by hundreds of the world's top scientists and signed off by all the world's governments, says it's unequivocal that human activities

are responsible for global warming. the report describes an overheating world slipping into crisis — with more weather extremes and rising temperatures in the coming years. the government's climate co—ordinator alok sharma says the report is a stark warning about the need to cut emissions. here's our energy and environment analyst roger harrabin. sirens wildfires are blazing through turkey and greece. they're rushing through california, too. in previous years, the panel wouldn't have been confident to blame climate change for the heatwaves behind the fires. not now. it tells us that it is indisputable that human activities are causing climate change and making extreme weather events more frequent and severe. second, it shows that climate change is affecting every region on our planet. the world listened, but didn't hear. the world listened, but it didn't

act strongly enough. and as a result, climate change is a problem that is here now. nobody's safe, and it's getting worse faster. that increased heat will change weather patterns, bringing more droughts, heatwaves and more rainfall, researchers say. this continuing warming of the planet has very severe consequences. we're already seeing increases in intensity and frequency of heatwaves around the world. we're already seeing changes to extreme rainfall. london was shocked to find areas under water a few weeks ago. rainfall patterns are hard to predict, but experts say northern europe will become wetter overall. london's hampstead ponds. they've already had to raise and reinforce the dams to protect hundreds of homes downstream from the sort of floods expected in extreme rains that are forecast to come. the cost has been huge.

we're already paying the price of ignoring scientists�* warnings on climate change. ice in the arctic is melting faster than many scientists predicted. it's leading to sea—level rise, which in turn increases coastal flooding. the seas will keep rising for may be thousands of years because the ocean deep has absorbed so much heat already. if we do have immediate, rapid and large—scale reductions in greenhouse gas emissions, we can still limit warming to 1.5 degrees above the late 1800s, but if we don't enact the policies and pledges that we already have in place, and in fact if we don't make those stronger, then we won't meet that target. political attitudes are changing. the uk is getting electric cars, for instance. we need clean technology for home heating, too. in the words of one leading

scientist, we're not doomed, but if we want to avoid catastrophe, we have to drastically cut emissions — now. roger harrabin, bbc news. many of team gb�*s olympic medal winning athletes have landed at heathrow, at the end of the tokyo olympics. the team equalled its tally from london 2012, winning 65 medals — including 22 golds. our sports correspondent eleanor roper is at heathrow. yes, it has been a bonkers half an hour with everyone coming off the plane and arriving, we have had people waving flags. we had the kennys arriving, they got a great reception, although we did not get to speak to them. i spoke to lauren price who won olympic gold, these athletes have been at an olympics

like no other, with empty stadiums and worries about the spread of the coronavirus but it has provided a huge distraction back home for some really special moments for those of us watching. the closing ceremony was yesterday and here is a round—up of the action now. the show had to go on. an olympic games like no other, finishing how it started, a stunning spectacle but no spectators. led by its most successful woman, laura kenny, team gb celebrated its second most successful overseas games with a celebration fitting of the olympic stadium. the end of 16 days we thought might never happen. you created the magic of these olympic games, tokyo 2020. in these difficult times, you gave to the world, the most precious of gifts — hope! it was a golden end for team gb...

commentator: and jason kenny stands alone in british olympic history! - whether you've won your seventh gold or yourfirst, the metal is just as precious. just ask wales' lauren price. i can't really put it into words, it's just a dream come true. yeah, i still can't believe it, i've got to pinch myself but itjust goes to show years of hard work, if you dream and you work hard enough, you can achieve anything. achieve, team gb did, exceeding expectations with 65 medals, 22 of them gold, fourth overall. when we look back on tokyo it'll go down as a games to remember, packed with hits, highs and heroes. great britain have a gold medal in the diving pool! it had heartbreak for those whose dreams were dashed. oh, no, katarina johnson—thompson, it all comes crashing down. there were sports we've not seen

at the olympics before. hands in the air, yes, sky! there were the faces some couldn't wait to see again. there were the stars who stood up for more than just their sport, who spoke out for the millions whose voices can't be heard. it's ok sometimes to even sit out the big competitions to focus on yourself, because it shows how strong of a competitor and person you really are. but we should be out here having fun and sometimes that's not the case. the city cannot sleep yet, though, the paralympics comes to town two weeks tomorrow. for the olympic games, sport's most iconic arena held against the most challenging of backdrops. we say thank you tokyo, thank you japan. it's arigato, tokyo... ..a bientot, paris. ben croucher, bbc news. the fact that family and friends

were not able to travel to japan means that this arrival is even more special. frazer clarke here, seeing his baby for the first time in months. there was a lot of support for the boxing team. galal yafai had about ten people here who were going absolutely wild so today is the first time people are able to see friends and family and if they won a medal, the first time to share that, as well. . «a medal, the first time to share that, as well. . ~', ., medal, the first time to share that, as well. . ., ., , earlier, we heard the dramatic warnings about climate change from un scientists. it comes as hundreds more people have been forced to leave their homes in parts of greece, where wildfires are continuing to burn out of control. scorching temperatures across much of southern europe this summer have left woodland tinder dry and susceptible to fire. greece itself is experiencing its biggest heatwave in 30 years. matt graveling reports. sirens.

thousands of hectares — habitats, homes — all reduced to ash. with each change in the wind carving a new path of devastation, those who stay save whatever they can. others pack up their lives and head to the port. it's like a scene of an apocalyptic movie, definitely, because there is no sky, the sun is red, it's quite scary. more than 2,000 people have been evacuated from evia by ferry. once off the island, miles of smoke show the scale of the fight, and it's this smoke, authorities say, hampers efforts to douse fires from above. those on the ground say more needs to be done. the more people see that we don't have any help until yesterday, and they could save everybody,

and it wasn't true. the people don't know where to go. the big problem is that we feel that they let us burn. france, germany and the uk have all offered their help to greece, currently experiencing its hottest weather for 30 years. scientists warn that failure to tackle our impact on climate change means temperatures — and the consequences — will continue to rise. matt graveling, bbc news. our europe correspondent bethany bell has more from the greek island of evia. as you can see, the hillside is black chard, the trees have been killed and things are really looking bleak here. elsewhere on evia the fires are still out of control and they are trying to put them out with helicopters and planes dropping great quantities on the hillside to try and extinguish the flames but it has really been an uphill struggle

because the hot temperatures, extremely hot, that greece has been facing, have not helped, because all of the ground is so tinder dry it makes things extremely difficult. the locals here are saying they feel abandoned by the government, they say there is climate change clearly which is a factor in these wildfires but they say also not enough has been done to help in terms of trying to protect these forests. the government says it is doing all it can add its priority it says is to save human lives and they say that this has been a really nightmarish summer. more now on the climate change report — the united nations says humankind is unequivocally to blame for the accelerated pace of global warming. the intergovernmental panel on climate change said every inhabited region on earth was likely to experience extreme weather events of heat, rain and drought frequently, as greenhouse gases continue to push up temperatures. i'm joined now by christiana figueres,

founding partner of global optimism and former executive secretary of the united nations framework convention on climate change, where she oversaw the adoption of the paris agreement in 2015. thanks forjoining us. there was an interesting point from bethany where she said the government says their priority has to be to protect human life and in a sense it is not either oras life and in a sense it is not either or as the report demonstrates? exactly. we have to realise that what we need to protect is life, human life and all of the other life on the planet, because the fact is, the planet will continue to evolve what is here —— but what is on the line is will humans and other life as we know it today still have the context in which we will be able to inhabit the planet. what this report shows is that it is getting

increasingly difficult, the impacts represent delay that we have had, but the report also says if we get our act together and if we are able to cut emissions by one half by 2030, we would be able to get onto a much better safer and more stable tract, but that is the choice that we have right now. that is the challenge. halving global emissions by 2030. the challenge. halving global emissions b 2030. ., , , challenge. halving global emissions b 2030. ,, by 2030. the timetables people were talkin: by 2030. the timetables people were talking about — by 2030. the timetables people were talking about in _ by 2030. the timetables people were talking about in paris _ by 2030. the timetables people were talking about in paris in _ by 2030. the timetables people were talking about in paris in 2015, - by 2030. the timetables people were talking about in paris in 2015, they i talking about in paris in 2015, they now look too unrealistic. the implication is we have got to move further and faster? we implication is we have got to move further and faster?— further and faster? we do have to move further— further and faster? we do have to move further and _ further and faster? we do have to move further and faster _ further and faster? we do have to move further and faster and - further and faster? we do have to move further and faster and we i further and faster? we do have to i move further and faster and we have to be at half by 2030 in order to be at knit zero by 2050 which is what is established in the paris agreement —— net zero. we have got

really is related to climate change and that the more drought we have an california abbey west coast has been under drought conditions for more than five years, the more frequent and the more intense the fires —— and the more intense the fires —— and the more intense the fires —— and the west coast. just two weeks ago we had 91 wildfires in the united states, burning more than 1.8 million acres, and people are really understanding this, finally, and i think there is growing support for the measures and the policies that the measures and the policies that the biden administration is putting into place. of course, this is a catch up game, it is very much of a catch up game, it is very much of a catch up game, it is very much of a catch up with all of these disasters that we are seeing around the world. one more question. we will talk about individual change later but i should ask, given your experience in paris, about the importance in your judgment of the conference and parties being held in glasgow later

in scotland are back. we're so buzzing, we're so excited. it's my favourite club, so... it's going to be amazing. the buff club in glasgow was raring to go atjust one minute past midnight. there was no social distancing required, and no facemasks when dancing, drinking or dining. restaurants and cafes are back at full capacity, with no limit on the number of households per table. masks must be worn when walking around, and customers should still use the test and protect app. so, for us, the lack of social distancing now inside is a really big thing in hospitality. it means for us we have now the capacity for 1h tables instead of eight. so obviously that's more people through the doors. it's really great news, it's a big step forward. this morning, people in glasgow were getting used to life with fewer rules. i prefer everybody back in the house because that means i can't

get myjob done quickly! it's actually a lot better out here, a bit of normality, you know what i mean? rather thanjust sitting about the house going outside and actually seeing a lot more faces rather thanjust sitting about at home, like. not too sure, i'm still staying - at home, working at home and trying to avoid going anywhere that ishouldn't _ i am not quite there yet, | but everyone is different. i'm hopeful that it's a good step forward. i'm quite apprehensive, this is the first time i've been in town for months and months, and i only came in because i had to have an appointment. but i'm hoping it's a step in the right direction and we don't have to then go back to where we were a few months back. the message from the scottish government is one of caution. the pandemic is not over and the number of coronavirus cases is expected to rise as restrictions are eased. brenda owns this florist in glasgow's west end. she's delighted that business is getting back to normal,

but happy that she and her customers will still need to wear a mask inside her shop. we want to stay open. i mean, it's great getting back to the way things... getting a wee bit back to normality again. so, yeah, i do. i don't think the masks are going anywhere soon. i think we're going to be having them on for a long, long time. and if that's what we have to do, that's what we have to do. this business was lucky. others have struggled when staff have had to self—isolate. from today, adults who are close contacts of someone with covid only need to isolate until they show a negative pcr test — so long as they have been double vaccinated. for the clubbers, this is as close to normal as it's been for well over a year. alexandra mackenzie, bbc news, glasgow. the scottish government says 852 new

cases of coronavirus reported in the 24 cases of coronavirus reported in the 2a hours until monday but no new deaths. about 30% of 18 to 29 year olds in the uk still haven't had their first coronavirus jab. to try to improve that, young people are being offered free taxis, pizzas and cinema tickets as incentives. and as luxmy gopal reports, venues like nightclubs are being turned into vaccination centres during the day — to try to make it easier for people to get a jab. not the sort of shots you'd normally expect to have on a night out at a club. on the dance floor of this london venue, people are getting their dose of the covid vaccine. i'm actually in a musical in the west end at the corner, and i've just finished a show, and i noticed that this was open. it's, like, such a good thing for, like, the youth. to be like, look, this is where we're at. you know this place. you feel comfortable here. sojust come along and get yourjab. for the first time, night clubs, including heaven in central london and the nightingale in birmingham, are being used as temporary vaccination clinics to try

to encourage more young people to get the jab. in the same way that different communities have gone into whether it be a synagogue or a mosque, wherever they go to try to target different communities, we can target a younger audience. other attempts to target a younger age group include the surrey theme park thorpe park offering jabs at a pop—up clinic, the festival latitude hosting a vaccination bus, and free food and live music at a vaccine festival in the london borough of tower hamlets. more incentives are planned, such as discounts on deliveroo meals and uber journeys. from september, the government says unvaccinated people won't be able to enter night clubs and other large—scale events. but how effective can the carrot and stick approach be? 23—year—old sam duffy was keen to get the vaccine as soon as he was eligible. his twin is the opposite. these covid passports and stuff come in later in the year. he's not going to be able to go out to any bars, clubs, things like that.

why is he hesitant? a lot of online stuff. he reads the misinformation about it, a bit sceptical. he's a bit nervous about the long term side effects of it. latest figures show that, while vaccine hesitancy is falling slightly among the young, just under 70% of 18— to 29—year—olds have had their first jab compared to just under 90% of the wider adult population. but the nhs lead at this pop—up clinic says young uptake is proportional to the relatively short time they've been eligible for the vaccine. i'm not sure if it's really about young people, really. because actually we still have a lot of people who are older and other sort of vulnerable populations that are still not vaccinated yet. work continues on finding ways to get more of the population jabbed. these young people at least are now part of that club. luxmy gopal, bbc news. now it's time for a look at the weather with darren bett. hello. we are seeing some more heavy,

thundery showers breaking out today, in particular across parts of scotland, northern ireland, southern england, too. some showers elsewhere developing and some sunshine around as well, and the winds are not as strong today. temperatures are not quite as high as they would normally be at this time of the year. we have still got these heavy, thundery downpours into this evening. they will gradually fade away overnight and we will see some clearer spells developing. a little bit of mistiness here and there, and temperatures are likely to remain in double figures overnight. typically 12 or 13c in towns and cities. tomorrow looks like it is going to be a drier day for more of the country. we're going to have more sunshine around as well. can't rule out one or two showers across wales, some eastern parts of england. most of the showers will be further north in scotland this time, some heavy ones here, but a drier day through central and southern scotland. it will tend to cloud over a bit more in the afternoon for northern ireland. but a warmer day with light winds. we are looking at top temperatures of 22 or even 23c.

hello. this is bbc news. the headlines — code red for humanity — a un report says carbon emissions have warmed the climate in every part of the globe, and that human activity is affecting land, air and seas. it is indisputable that human activities are causing climate change and making extreme weather events more frequent and severe. team gb's athletes have landed back in the uk, after one of their most successful olympic games, with a haul of 65 medals. cheering the arrivals were headed up by team gb's golden couple jason and laura kenny — who both picked up historic gold medals in tokyo pushing them in to the record books. no more social distancing — almost all coronavirus restrictions

are now lifted in scotland, though nicola sturgeon warns the pandemic isn't over. club by night, vaccine centre by day — the attempt to encourage more 18—to—29—year—olds to have a covid jab. and — save geronimo — campaigners march on downing street to demand a reprieve for the alpaca who's tested positive for bovine tb. sport now, and for a full round—up from the bbc sport centre, here's austin. the final batch of team gb's medallists have arrived back to heathrow, after the tokyo games came to a close yesterday, with team gb enjoying one of their most successful games —

22 golds won, in a total of 65 medals, matching the achievement of london 2012. 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 kieran, 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. always on the back of your mind, as soon as you touch that wall, you're like, 0k, soon as you touch that wall, you're like, ok, how can i do this again, because thisjust feels like, ok, how can i do this again, because this just feels so good. but now it is almost a tactical retreat. i'm choosing to take that time away from the sport because i know i want to peak again. if not i want to have the best race of my life in paris. it's going to be a home game is pretty much for us. in london, it's an hour across the road really, so for us, we are going to hopefully be a strong force by then. the british women are coming up, so how do we get as much talent through, how do we really, really 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 go through both stages, _ i feel fortunate to go through both stages, so — i feel fortunate to go through both stages, so as a youngster, really chasing. — stages, so as a youngster, really chasing, nothing to lose, just going all-out. _ chasing, nothing to lose, just going all—out, giving it my best shot to actually — all—out, giving it my best shot to actually now trying to retain titles, — actually now trying to retain titles, i_ actually now trying to retain titles, i have realised it is a million _ titles, i have realised it is a million times harder, for quite a few reasons. two main reasons this time _ few reasons. two main reasons this time i_ few reasons. two main reasons this time i think— few reasons. two main reasons this time i think because of the expectancy. you know, 2018, if you take it _ expectancy. you know, 2018, if you take it back— expectancy. you know, 2018, if you take it back a few years, was a year of silver— take it back a few years, was a year of silver is — take it back a few years, was a year of silver is for — take it back a few years, was a year of silver is for me. to everybody else _ of silver is for me. to everybody else it _ of silver is for me. to everybody else it was — of silver is for me. to everybody else it was seen that i had failed because — else it was seen that i had failed because i— else it was seen that i had failed because i didn't bring back gold. because — because i didn't bring back gold. because i— because i didn't bring back gold. because i brought back gold in rio, the last— because i brought back gold in rio, the last olympic games, people expect— the last olympic games, people expect me to do the same this time, but actually — expect me to do the same this time, but actually every year that goes by .ets but actually every year that goes by gets harder and harder. but actually every year that goes by gets harderand harder. it but actually every year that goes by gets harder and harder. it is a learning — gets harder and harder. it is a learning curve. it was a good time. the pressure — learning curve. it was a good time. the pressure is there massively to kind of— the pressure is there massively to kind of not — the pressure is there massively to kind of not disappoint, but i think actually— kind of not disappoint, but i think

and 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 gaulle airport on sunday, hoping messi would arrive. there's been no sign of him yet, but plenty think he's on his way. that's all the sport for now. thank you very much austin messi. austin selwood, sorry, why did i call you messi? it's probably because they gather outside the airport when you arrive as well. sorry about that. more now on the un's assessment

of climate change that portrays an overheating world slipping deeper into crisis. in three months' time, the cop26 summit will take place in glasgow — and is being touted as an opportity to turn promises into practice — with a focus on a target of 1.5 degrees. what is it, and why does it matter? our reality check correspondent chris morris explains. it was the last big international climate summit in paris in 2015, which produced a legally binding treaty with a clear goal, to limit global warning this century to well below 2 degrees and preferably to 1.5 celsius, compared to preindustrial levels. and it's important to stress that when we talk about 1.5 degrees of warming, we are talking about the increase in the average temperature across the whole planet. now, it doesn't sound like a lot, but some places have already seen much bigger increases than that, and as the earth warms up, extreme weather events are becoming more frequent. climate

scientists were alarmed by how extreme some of them have been, such as the soaring temperatures in north america's heat dome injune and july this year, smashing previous records. the comparison to preindustrial levels, a couple of hundred cor years ago, is also important because nearly all man—made global warming has been caused by our use of fossil fuels, coal, oiland caused by our use of fossil fuels, coal, oil and gas, which have powered the industrial age. the transition to renewable energy is well under way, but it's going to be really hard to meet the 1.5 degrees target. some experts think it may already be too late to do so. the increase in global temperatures has now reached about 1.1, or 1.2 degrees above preindustrial levels, so if current trends continued, it's likely we would pass 1.5 degrees sometime in the 2013s, and possibly even sooner, and we would be heading for at least three degrees of warming by the end of the century, with catastrophic consequences. that's why there is now such a

concerted push for action, and the difference between 1.5 and 2 degrees may not seem that significant, but the intergovernmental panel on climate change has said 1.5 instead of 2 degrees would mean, among other things, 10 million fewer people losing their homes to rising sea levels, potentially preventing some low—lying island countries from disappearing altogether. it would limit the loss of coral reefs, of endangered species and of arctic sea ice, and there would be roughly 50% fewer people around the world struggling to find fresh water. even at 1.5 degrees, there will be big changes to our climate, but one of the main goals in glasgow is to keep the main goals in glasgow is to keep the target firmly within reach. to do that, the world needs to halve greenhouse gas emissions over the next decade, and reach net zero emissions by the middle of the century. that all means huge and rapid changes to the way societies and companies operate, and this is

the decade when those changes are going to have to start happening. 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. the bbc�*s syed anwar, who is in the afghan capital kabul, gave us an update on the situation. well, the afghan government's saying they are preparing to launch again attacks in those provinces where taliban captured areas, to the military commander in north of afghanistan told the bbc that they are preparing to launch an attack to capture the capital city. today taliban entered

the capital of a province, the governor told the bbc that taliban entered the city and fighting is ongoing. taliban are saying they are advancing in some areas, today there are reports of fighting in the area of a province but afghan forces in this area say they have pushed back taliban to another area. the situation is expending in some other provinces and heavy clashes are ongoing in different areas. the president told afghans last week he and his government had a six—month strategy for repelling the taliban. how has that gone down with afghans, who you have spoken to, given the speed with which the taliban

appear to be advancing? more detail is not emerging from the six months strategy of the afghan president and other high ranking officials are repeatedly saying they have six months plan and they will recapture the areas where now taliban are present. one, apparently, one of the points of the strategy is to increase air strikes on taliban in some areas, the air strikes was apparently useful, for example in kandahar in helmand province. where now the afghan army commander says they pushed back taliban, but more detail is not clear yet what is in the six month strategy, but afghan army officers,

commanders and political leaders are saying they have plans, and in six months, afghan people will see a change many ground situation in afghanistan. well, that is something to hope for but i guess it to hope for but i guess it feels a long way off for a lot of people. is there any sign of for example of civilians trying to leave kabul? no, from kabul, there is no sign of civilians leaving kabul but in those provinces where fighting is ongoing, they are displacing a big number and civilians are also in prisoned today. unicef today says that in the past, 72 hours, around 27 children killed and more than 130 children wounded, civilians and children are suffering in those areas, where fightings are ongoing and they are facing a huge number of displacement in war zones.

the foreign office has announced economic sanctions on belarus for the first time, a year after the disputed re—election of president alexander lukashenko. the controversial leader continued to dismiss international criticism, during a long address to the nation this morning. our diplomatic correspondent james landale has more. the situation in belarus is not getting any better. continued political oppression. and until now, the british government has imposed sanctions largely on individuals that it blames for human rights violations. but now they are imposing sanctions on huge swathes of the economy, so for example british firms won't be able to offer financial services to belarus. that matters, because last year belarus raised about 800 million quid on the london stock exchange, that won't be allowed in the future. it will also be impossible for british firms to buy things like petroleum products and potash

and things used in fertiliser. hugely important to belarus's economy. there will even be a new sanction on the luxury aircraft used by president lukashenko and his cronies. we expect similar measures from other allies. the question is whether this will make a difference. in his news conference this morning, president lukashenko said he would respond to the sanctions but he suggested they would have the opposite effect than was intended. the suspect in the death of harry dunn may have been distracted by her mobile phone, before the fatal crash. court documents lodged in the us state of virginia said anne sacoolas had been "evasive, non—responsive and inconsistent" about her phone usage. the 19—year—old died near raf croughton in northamptonshire, in august 2019, when a car, driven by mrs sacoolas, hit his motorcycle. she later left the country for the united states, claiming diplomatic immunity. her legal representatives have been contacted for comment. in india, researchers says child malnutrition is on the rise, as government meal provisions have reduced during the pandemic.

our correspondent devina gupta travelled to a village in the northern state of haryana, to find outjust how severe the stiutation is. born during the peak of the pandemic last year, sambrin has been fighting for a chance at a healthy life. in this village in haryana in north india, access to nutritious food is hard to come by. now, after herfirst birthday, she weighs less than a two—month—old. her mother says she feels helpless. translation: she is so weak, her legs are so thin _ and bones arejutting out of her chest and back. how will she survive another summer? in normal times, families like this would have been given a helping hand. we are outside a public school in this village, where, before the pandemic, children used to get hot meals from the daycare centre, called anganwadi.

but covid has put all that to a grinding halt, and that has hit the children with malnutrition the hardest. the centre is still open, but the staff here says it no longer gets the supplies it needs. translation: when we get dry milk packets or wheat and rice, _ we make food kits and distribute it to people here. we do not get sugar or oil or pulses that can provide them with the nutrition they need. during the lockdowns, other workers have been checking up on some of the most vulnerable children. earlier, this six—year—old got meals at school under the government programme. but without it, she began to show signs of malnutrition. but thanks to distributed ration kits, she has made some progress. translation: we can see she is steadily gaining - weight, and is comingl out of the yellow zone. it is a big win for us. in march, the government said

there are less than one million severely malnourished children in india, but they are planning on outreach programmes to help them. however, experts estimate over 120 million children are affected. they depend on midday meals and anganwadi support for their nutrition, and their absence will impact their cognitive development. children can have learning difficulties. they are less likely to do well in schools and therefore end up in low—paying jobs as they grow up like their parents. for millions of parents, this is a grim prospect, as she watches and listens to her daughter's cry for help. as she watches and listens the headlines on bbc news... a united nations report warns of a "code red for humanity", saying carbon emissions have warmed the climate in every part of the world. team gb's athletes have landed back in the uk, after one of their most successful olympic games — with a haul of 65 medals.

no more social distancing — almost all coronavirus restrictions are now lifted in scotland; though nicola sturgeon warns the pandemic isn't over. 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 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 procedures and surgery, over a quarter of a million people on waiting lists

and that is causing untold anxiety, as well as impacting people's health and their lives. and modelling out in a report today has shown without intervention and if we face a tough winter, and if cardiac care doesn't recover at the rate we might hope, we could face a doubling of waiting lists by 2024 and that could take up to five years to clear. that is why we are urging government to invest in card government to invest in cardiac care with a clear plan and investment. notjust to clear the backlog but to make sure we have a health system that can support everyone with heart and circulate everyone with heart and circulatory disease.

we in our report have looked at the challenges facing people with heart and circulate tridisease and we are worried that the waiting list could peak at 500,000 people and you right. the reason, there are lots of reasons behind that but we know people have been scared to come forward during the covid pandemic to seek help and reluctant to seek help, and also some people have been unable to do so. we know that the nhs would call on anybody who was feeling unwell to seek help urgently, with an existing or new condition. campaigners, fighting to save an alpaca from being put down, will march on downing street this afternoon, to lobby for a reprieve. the government says geronimo must be culled, because he's twice tested positive for bovine tb, which is a risk to cattle. andrew plant reports. she has been fighting to keep her alpaca alive for four years. now geronimo's story has started making headlines, after the courts ruled he could be put down any time in the next four weeks. how are you feeling about all the support that you've had? oh, just immense. it's keeping me going. this is an animal injustice. what are you going to do if people turn up at your gates?

i'm not going to break the law but i won't be making it easy. i'm not going to be helping them to kill an animal that doesn't need to be killed. bovine tb is a common issue for uk farmers — around 40,000 cows are killed, after positive tests each year. helen thinks geronimo's tests were flawed and is calling on the government to take another look. i i think that this alpaca gives us. a chance to put btb testing under the microscope in the uk. we have long been worried. about its accuracy, its ability to give false positives and also false negatives as well. - the impact goes far beyond alpacas. this has a significant impact for british farming, too. - the environment secretary george eustice has said geronimo's tests were reliable. downing street also expressed its sympathy but said everything possible needed to be done to fight bovine tb. no test is absolutely perfect. no test is absolutely 100%

sensitive or 100% specific. so defra have to work on the big numbers, and they make policy based on the big numbers, and decisions based on those big numbers, whereas, for the individual, of course, you are always hoping that your animal is one of the one 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. a baby, thought to be the world's smallest at birth, has been discharged from a singapore hospital, after 13 months of intensive treatment. kwek yu xuan was just 212 grams — the weight of an apple — when she was born, and measured 24 centimetres long. her mother gave birth to her by emergency c—section,

four months ahead of schedule, after she was diagnosed with pre—eclampsia — dangerously high blood pressure that can damage vital organs, and be fatalfor both mother and baby. yu xuan now weighs a much healthier 6.3 kilograms. our reporter in singapore, suranjana tewari, has more. doctors here in singapore at the national university hospital where she was born actually said that babies who are born that premature usually have about a 70% survival rate. now, that is fairly high, but they also expected her to weigh about at least 400 grams. but she weighed just 212 grams. many of the doctors who were looking after her here said that really put a low chance of survival for her. so yu xuan really surprising doctors with her progress here. now, when she was first born, she was so small, the doctors really

struggled to look after her. her skin was very sensitive. so it was very hard to put probes onto her skin in order to monitor her health. also, the nappies that were available here in singapore were far too large, and it was really important that she had regular nappies, because her skin was so sensitive. even the medicine that was administered to her had to be calculated down to the decimal point. so it really is some sort of miracle here. the doctors at nuh said that it was a covid—19 miracle because she was born in the middle of the pandemic, and that her progress really gave a ray of hope amidst all the darkness that there has been in the last year or so. she is a very healthy weight now, 6.4 kilograms, around 14lbs. now, because she was born so premature, she does have chronic lung disease and she also has pulmonary hypertension, so she will need help of a ventilator when she is back at home.

but doctors here in singapore say that she is likely to outgrow a lot of those conditions, that premature babies do outgrow them, and with the progress that she has made, they are really confident that she will improve even at home. improve, even at home. she can roll over by herself, she is learning to use a bottle, and, apparently, she is very fond of her dummy. now it's time for a look at the weather, with darren bett. hello, there. low pressure over the weekend bought lots of heavy, thundery downpours, and we are seeing them developing again in some areas today. the winds aren't as strong today, so when the sun is out it may feel a little bit warmer, but we have only had some heavier bursts of rain through the central belt of scotland, some thunderstorms generating on those as well, and we're going to find some thundery downpours notjust across southern and eastern parts of scotland, but also northern ireland. low pressure

still in charge through the rest of today, that weather front focusing most on was not mind you, further south across england and wales, particularly into southern england, we could get some thundery showers breaking out here as well. some sunshine, yes, but temperatures a little bit down on what would expect this time of year, around 19 or 20 degrees. still some heavy bursts of rain, some thunderstorms across southern parts of england, northern ireland and areas of scotland, but those will gradually fade away overnight. many places do become dry. some areas of low cloud come a bit of mess dinners here and there, some clear spells as well, and temperatures remaining in double figures, so typically 12 or 13 degrees in towns and cities. heading into tuesday, the promise of a drier day for more of the country, and more sunshine around as well. there could be one or two isolated showers breaking out in wales, eastern parts of england, most of the showers i think will be in scotland this time further north across the country, some heavy ones here. but a drier day through central and southern scotland, it will tend to cloud over

a bit more in the afternoon in northern ireland, but temperatures will be higher on tuesday. the winds will be higher on tuesday. the winds will be higher on tuesday. the winds will be light and highs of 23 degrees or so. instead of low pressure, things are coming down a bit on tuesday, but if we look further ahead into wednesday, this low pressure is pushing that weather front well ahead of it, that will bring more cloud, some outbreaks of rain on wednesday, into northern ireland and into western parts of scotland, a few showers breaking out ahead of that for wales in western england, ahead eased through the england, ahead eased through the england and eastern england, it will be dry. there will be some sunshine and continuing to warm up a little bit, highs of 2425 degrees, but cooler under the rain in scotland and northern ireland. that weather front pushes some rain into england and wales on thursday, not much at all. the next area of low pressure then brings in wetter weather into then brings in wetter weather into the north—west of the uk, but instead of low pressure right over the uk, its steering more to the north—west, so it is a bit drier over the week ahead and we should gradually see temperatures a a little bit higher.

this is bbc news. the headlines: code red for humanity — a un report says carbon emissions have warmed the climate in every part of the globe — and that human activity is affecting land, air and sea: it is indisputable that human activities are causing planet change and making extreme weather events more frequent and severe. cheering. team gb's athletes have landed back in the uk, after one of their most successful olympic games — with a haul of 65 medals. cheering. the arrivals were headed up by team gb's golden couple jason & laura kenny — who both picked up historic gold medals in tokyo pushing them

in to the record books. no more social distancing — almost all coronavirus restrictions are now lifted in scotland, though nicola sturgeon warns the pandemic isn't over. club by night, vaccine centre by day — the attempt to encourage more 18 to 29 year olds to have a covid jab. and, save geronimo — campaigners march to downing street to demand a reprieve for the alpaca who's tested positive for bovine tb. a code red for humanity — that's how the biggest ever report on climate change is being described by the un secretary general. the study, produced by hundreds

of the world's top scientists and signed off by all the world's governments, says it's unequivocal that human activities are responsible for global warming. the report describes an overheating world slipping into crisis — with more weather extremes and rising temperatures in the coming years. the government's climate co—ordinator alok sharma says the report is a stark warning about the need to cut emissions. here's our energy and environment analyst roger harrabin. sirens wildfires are blazing through turkey and greece. they're rushing through california, too. in previous years, the panel wouldn't have been confident to blame climate change for the heatwaves behind the fires. not now. it tells us that it is indisputable that human activities are causing climate change and making extreme weather events more frequent and severe. second, it shows that climate change is affecting every region on our planet.

the world listened, but didn't hear. the world listened, but it didn't act strongly enough. and as a result, climate change is a problem that is here now. nobody's safe, and it's getting worse faster. that increased heat will change weather patterns, bringing more droughts, heatwaves and more rainfall, researchers say. this continuing warming of the planet has very severe consequences. we're already seeing increases in the intensity and frequency of heatwaves around the world. we're already seeing changes to extreme rainfall. london was shocked to find areas under water a few weeks ago. rainfall patterns are hard to predict, but experts say northern europe will become wetter overall. london's hampstead ponds... they've already had to raise

and reinforce the dams to protect hundreds of homes downstream from the sort of floods expected in extreme rains that are forecast to come. the cost has been huge. we're already paying the price of ignoring scientists' warnings on climate change. ice in the arctic is melting faster than many scientists predicted. it's leading to sea—level rise, which in turn increases coastal flooding. the seas will keep rising for may be thousands of years because the ocean deep has absorbed so much heat already. if we do have immediate, rapid and large—scale reductions in greenhouse gas emissions, we can still limit warming to 1.5 degrees above the late 1800s, but if we don't enact the policies and pledges that we already have in place, and in fact if we don't make those stronger, then we won't meet that target. political attitudes are changing.

the uk is getting electric cars, for instance. we need clean technology for home heating, too. in the words of one leading scientist, we're not doomed, but if we want to avoid catastrophe, we have to drastically cut emissions — now. roger harrabin, bbc news. the man in charge of the cop26 climate has welcomed the un climate report. alok sharma warned that many countries still weren't not doing enough to limit the effects of global warming on the planet. i think what we have seen from the intergovernmental panel on climate change today is a report which paints in very stark terms why this is going to be the decisive decade in terms of climate action being taken by all countries across the world. the good news is the door is still ajar and there is still time to act but the door is closing and i think there will come a point where it would be irreversible and that is

why, to avoid catastrophic climate change, we need to take action now, thatis change, we need to take action now, that is the message i'm taking to world leaders across the globe and of course we want at cop26 to be able to save the credibility that we have kept the goal of limiting global term amateur rises to 1.5 within reach. —— limiting global temperatures. within reach. -- limiting global temperatures.— within reach. -- limiting global temeratures. ., . ., , temperatures. how much arm-twisting have ou temperatures. how much arm-twisting have you got — temperatures. how much arm-twisting have you got to — temperatures. how much arm-twisting have you got to do _ temperatures. how much arm-twisting have you got to do to _ temperatures. how much arm-twisting have you got to do to make _ temperatures. how much arm-twisting have you got to do to make sure - temperatures. how much arm-twisting have you got to do to make sure the i have you got to do to make sure the door remains ajar? brute have you got to do to make sure the door remains ajar?— door remains a'ar? we have seen in the ast door remains ajar? we have seen in the past months — door remains ajar? we have seen in the past months since _ door remains ajar? we have seen in the past months since we _ door remains ajar? we have seen in the past months since we took - door remains ajar? we have seen in the past months since we took over| the past months since we took over the past months since we took over the presidency of cop26 that we have gone from 30% of the global economy being covered by a net zero emissions target up to 70% so we have made progress, will be g7 countries have come forward with ambitious plans to cut emissions in the near term and also on a trajectory to net zero by 2050 but of course we need all countries to come forward especially the g20 nations, they together represent 80% of global emissions and 85% of the

global economy and that is why we need to see further action from them. �* ., , ., need to see further action from them. �* .,, ., ., need to see further action from them. �* ., ., ., —— alok sharma there, the man who is chairing cop26. the young swedish activist greta thunberg says she now hopes to attend the cop26 summit in glasgow if all the delegates are vaccinated. she also said the world must take heed of the dire report by the un climate panel. this report does not tell us what to do and it does not say you have to do and it does not say you have to do this and do that, it does not provide us with such solutions or say that you need to do this, and thatis say that you need to do this, and that is up for us. we are the ones who need to take the decisions and we are the ones who need to be brave and ask the difficult questions to ourselves, like what we value, i'll be ready to take action to make sure future and present living conditions? —— are be ready.

i can now speak to amelia womack, deputy leader of the green party. thanks forjoining us. in a sense, this report, the difficulty it has, new warnings have been issued so many times, that in a sense getting the public to engage with the seriousness of this must be difficult? it seriousness of this must be difficult? , . ., ., difficult? it is clear from the re ort difficult? it is clear from the report that _ difficult? it is clear from the report that this _ difficult? it is clear from the report that this is _ difficult? it is clear from the report that this is a - difficult? it is clear from the report that this is a crisis . difficult? it is clear from the | report that this is a crisis and difficult? it is clear from the i report that this is a crisis and i think people are engaging but almost as if they are watching a horror movie, ratherthan as if they are watching a horror movie, rather than seeing something which we actively need to work to change. as the green party we have shown you the trailers for decades for what could happen and here it is, it is not a report about what might happen in the future, climate change is here now we are seeing this in the fires in greece and in north america and the flooding in tube stations in london. and flooding across the uk. climate change is no longer at the door, it is in the living room and in our

tube stations, it is something we need to work to tackle. i think this report hopefully will make sure that we start as greta thunberg highlighted, we have got to mind the gap, between the warm words and the serious action we need. we need clear targets which have policies within them that mean we are able to meet this ambition because we don't have time. this is a window of opportunity and we must take it. the window is closing rapidly as the report said, to be able to effectively alter the trajectory that they have warned about. there is a problem in terms of governments, they go to events like they do, and they will in november, they do, and they will in november, theyissue they do, and they will in november, they issue statements and they bask in publicity, and then it doesn't quite lead to a follow—through. in terms of implementation or funding, for example. we will talk later to a representative who lobbies on behalf

of some of the small island nations who were promised lots of money to make the transition back in paris and almost none of that money has been delivered. what can we do in terms of our influence on our politicians in this country that could affect individual actions and also put pressure in terms of what politicians can deliver? it is also put pressure in terms of what politicians can deliver?— politicians can deliver? it is all about pressure. _ politicians can deliver? it is all about pressure. i _ politicians can deliver? it is all about pressure. i know- politicians can deliver? it is all about pressure. i know lots i politicians can deliver? it is all about pressure. i know lots of| about pressure. i know lots of people that are making lots of individual choices and actions that are proving that people are moving faster than the government in terms of understanding what climate change is on the need for change but what needs to happen is a genuine investment from the government that is about making the greenest option at the cheapest and easiest option, by implementing things like a carbon tax, meaning we are increasing the price of the highest carbon emitting actions and then using that to subsidise climate action that will be about putting in place a genuine green new deal that prioritises

public transport and warm homes. action is so vitally needed and when we look at the government's own plans, they don't even go half as far as they say they do. the numbers simply are not there. we need to be making sure that we are providing that scrutiny and making sure that we are speaking out at every opportunity about things like, a £27 billion road—building programme that will lock in further carbon emissions, orthe will lock in further carbon emissions, or the home is a strategy that has effectively failed to address lots of the net zero carbon potential that it had. all of these points showed that the government is lingering behind its warm words and it promises and people talk about politics a lot but politics is more than just voting on election day. it is about not being and... than just voting on election day. it is about not being and. . .— than just voting on election day. it is about not being and... indeed. i wanted to — is about not being and... indeed. i wanted to ask _ is about not being and... indeed. i wanted to ask you _ is about not being and... indeed. i wanted to ask you about _ is about not being and... indeed. i wanted to ask you about that. -

is about not being and... indeed. i i wanted to ask you about that. there are growing local councils around the country that do work precisely in this area. westminster has one green mp, caroline lucas, very high profile, and a few others in the house of lords, but they don't have the numbers to pressure government, although they have people in other political parties who share their views. in scotland they have the influence because the snp does not have a majority. how do you think they can best use the influence to put pressure on the snp government to deliver its part of the process? the scottish greens have already even before this moment proved their power in scottish politics and much like with caroline lucas, she holds the government and the opposition to account. with the scottish greens they have done a lot of work in making sure that they are meeting the demands of the climate emergency even before talking to the snp. one thing i think it's really important is in england and wales we are

proving that we can great beat the first past the post system with more councillors across the country, showing people want to vote for green politicians —— that we can beat. in those areas, if people who voted green in council elections, voted green in council elections, vote green in the next general election, we can win more green seats and that influence as we saw with scotland, that can lead to a genuine renewable revolution and making sure that tackling environmental issues at the same time as social issues at the same time, and putting forward the progressive vision of what politics in the 21st century needs to look like to meet the demands of the planet. like to meet the demands of the lanet. �* ., . ., ., . ,, , , like to meet the demands of the lanet. �* ., . ., , , ., planet. amelia womack, deputy leader ofthe planet. amelia womack, deputy leader of the green party _ planet. amelia womack, deputy leader of the green party in _ planet. amelia womack, deputy leader of the green party in england - planet. amelia womack, deputy leader of the green party in england and - of the green party in england and wales, thanks forjoining us. i'm joined now by princess esmeralda de belgique, an environmentalist,

a campaignerfor indigenous peoples' rights and a member of the belgium royalfamily. let's talk about how the problem affects indigenous peoples. can you give an example that is currently being experienced and why their voice is not being heard? first of all, let voice is not being heard? first of all. let me _ voice is not being heard? first of all, let me explain _ voice is not being heard? first of all, let me explain why _ voice is not being heard? first of all, let me explain why they - voice is not being heard? first of all, let me explain why they are| all, let me explain why they are probably the most impacted by the climate breakdown. because they are the poorest, amongst the welcome at the poorest, amongst the welcome at the most marginalised, we are talking about 370 million people. secondly because they live in a region which is particularly affected by the climate crisis like the polar region, the tropical forests, and also because they are often not recognised and because they depend so much on the natural world, so what is happening right now is devastating and it has been now is devastating and it has been now for many many years. we realised

today that it is a big problem because it is affecting europe and the uk and the western world but it has been a problem in the global south now for many decades. you are -aressin south now for many decades. you are pressing for — south now for many decades. you are pressing for some _ south now for many decades. you are pressing for some kind _ south now for many decades. you are pressing for some kind of— pressing for some kind of representation in glasgow, are you getting any kind of encouraging sounds from the organisers in the uk of that conference?— of that conference? yes, of course. indigenous — of that conference? yes, of course. indigenous people _ of that conference? yes, of course. indigenous people are _ of that conference? yes, of course. indigenous people are more - indigenous people are more considered and they are invited but i guess it is still something a bit difficult for them and you have to realise those institutions are very much western predominance so many voices are not heard. not only indigenous people but black communities, asian communities, and women, there is a lack of women in there in the climate negotiations. we are going to hearfrom there in the climate negotiations. we are going to hear from the alliance of small island states later on bbc news and we will talk

about the impact on some of those island nations in the pacific and the south china sea and so on but in terms of the work you do with the communities that you work with, many of those indigenous peoples are more in tune with nature anyway? are there examples where they have been trying to mitigate their own impact on the environment even if they are not the causes of the bigger problems?— not the causes of the bigger roblems? , ., ., . , ., , problems? they do an incredible “ob. the are problems? they do an incredible “ob. rhey actors fl problems? they do an incredible “ob. they are actors of i problems? they do an incredible “ob. they are actors of change * problems? they do an incredible “ob. they are actors of change and h problems? they do an incredible “ob. they are actors of change and in h problems? they do an incredible job. they are actors of change and in the l they are actors of change and in the way they plant mangrove, for example, which is a great treat which it has so much —— which is a great tree because it absorbs so much carbon. the indigenous community have done this in africa and asia, everywhere, and also the way they practice agriculture and diverse agriculture. we have a lot to learn from their knowledge which

is down through generations. it is holistic, in tune with nature, in harmony, so it's about time that we learn from them and we can combine with modern technology and it would be fantastic. we need them as partners. be fantastic. we need them as artners. . , ,., be fantastic. we need them as artners. . , ., , partners. finally, your own country, ou partners. finally, your own country, you mentioned _ partners. finally, your own country, you mentioned that _ partners. finally, your own country, you mentioned that people - partners. finally, your own country, you mentioned that people in - partners. finally, your own country, | you mentioned that people in europe are becoming much more focused on this issue because of the weather experienced in the last few weeks what terrible damage in belgium and loss of life. do you get a sense that has affected public attitudes towards this problem? i that has affected public attitudes towards this problem?— that has affected public attitudes towards this problem? i think so. more and more _ towards this problem? i think so. more and more people _ towards this problem? i think so. more and more people are - towards this problem? i think so. | more and more people are aware, especially young people, and we note they have been in the street many times, but even companies, businesses, everybody realises the extreme damage that happens and will continue to happen. now we need the political will. those governments

have known each word of the ipcc report and now they have got to act otherwise it would be criminal. esmeralda of belgium, thanks for joining us. team gb's olympic medal winning athletes have landed at heathrow, at the end of the tokyo olympics. the team equalled its tally from london 2012, winning 65 medals — including 22 golds. our sports correspondent eleanor roper has more from heathrow. it has been a bonkers half an hour with everyone coming off the plane. lots of family and friends here to greet them. we have had people waving flags. we had the kennys arriving, they got a great reception, although we did not get to speak to them. they rushed straight. this is then arriving.

i spoke to lauren price who won olympic gold. these athletes have been at an olympics like no other, with empty stadiums and worries about the spread of the coronavirus but it has provided a huge distraction back home for some really special moments for those of us watching. the closing ceremony was yesterday and here is a round—up of the action now. the show had to go on. an olympic games like no other, finishing how it started, a stunning spectacle but no spectators. led by its most successful woman, laura kenny, team gb celebrated its second most successful overseas games with a celebration fitting of the olympic stadium. the end of 16 days we thought might never happen. you created the magic of these olympic games, tokyo 2020. in these difficult times, you gave to the world, the most precious of gifts — hope! it was a golden end for team gb... commentator: and jason kenny stands

alone in british olympic history! - whether you've won your seventh gold or yourfirst, the metal is just as precious. just ask wales' lauren price. i can't really put it into words, it's just a dream come true. yeah, i still can't believe it, i've got to pinch myself but itjust goes to show years of hard work, if you dream and you work hard enough, you can achieve anything. achieve, team gb did, exceeding expectations with 65 medals, 22 of them gold, fourth overall. when we look back on tokyo it'll go down as a games to remember, packed with hits, highs and heroes. great britain have a gold medal in the diving pool! it had heartbreak for those whose dreams were dashed. oh, no, katarina johnson—thompson, it all comes crashing down. there were sports we've not seen

at the olympics before. hands in the air, yes, sky! there were the faces some couldn't wait to see again. there were the stars who stood up for more than just their sport, who spoke out for the millions whose voices can't be heard. it's ok sometimes to even sit out the big competitions to focus on yourself, because it shows how strong of a competitor and person you really are. but we should be out here having fun and sometimes that's not the case. the city cannot sleep yet, though, the paralympics comes to town two weeks tomorrow. for the olympic games, sport's most iconic arena held against the most challenging of backdrops. we say thank you tokyo, thank you japan. it's arigato, tokyo... ..a bientot, paris. ben croucher, bbc news. one of those arriving back home today at heathrow airport after winning a bronze medal was the british

the sun is red, it's quite scary. more than 2,000 people have been evacuated from evia by ferry. once off the island, miles of smoke show the scale of the fight, and it's this smoke, authorities say, hampers efforts to douse fires from above. those on the ground say more needs to be done. the more people see that we don't have any help until yesterday, and they could save everybody, and it wasn't true. the people don't know where to go. the big problem is that we feel that they let us burn. france, germany and the uk have all offered their help to greece, currently experiencing its hottest weather for 30 years. scientists warn that failure to tackle our impact on climate change means temperatures — and the consequences — will continue to rise. matt graveling, bbc news.

our europe correspondent bethany bell has more from the greek island of evia. as you can see, this hillside is black, charred, the trees have been killed and things are really looking bleak here. elsewhere on evia, the fires are still raging, out of control, and they are trying to put them out with helicopters and planes dropping great quantities on the hillside to try and extinguish the flames. but it has really been an uphill struggle because the hot temperatures, extremely hot, that greece has been facing, have not helped, because all of the ground is so tinder dry it makes things extremely difficult. the locals here are saying they feel abandoned by the government, they say there is climate change, clearly, which is a factor in these wildfires, but they say also not enough has been done to help in terms of trying to protect these forests. the government says it is doing

all it can and its priority, it says, is to save human lives. they say that this has been a really nightmarish summer. almost all scotland's remaining coronavirus restrictions have been lifted. it means an end to social distancing and limits on indoor gathering — although the wearing of masks is still compulsory in some public spaces. many nightclubs opened at midnight for the first time in nearly 18 months. the first minister, nicola sturgeon, says it's the right moment to try to get back to normality — while warning people the pandemic is not over. our scotland correspondent alexandra mackenzie reports. cheering it's been a long wait, but for the first time since the beginning of the pandemic, clubs and clubbers in scotland are back. we're so buzzing, we're so excited. it's my favourite club, so... it's going to be amazing. the buff club in glasgow

was raring to go atjust one minute past midnight. there was no social distancing required, and no facemasks when dancing, drinking or dining. restaurants and cafes are back at full capacity, with no limit on the number of households per table. masks must be worn when walking around, and customers should still use the test and protect app. so, for us, the lack of social distancing now inside is a really big thing in hospitality. it means for us we have now the capacity for 14 tables instead of eight. so obviously that's more people through the doors. it's really great news, it's a big step forward. this morning, people in glasgow were getting used to life with fewer rules. i prefer everybody back in the house because that means i can't get myjob done quickly! it's actually a lot better out here, a bit of normality, you know what i mean? rather thanjust sitting about the house or going outside,

actually seeing a lot more faces rather thanjust sitting about at home, like. not too sure, i'm still staying - at home, working at home and trying to avoid going anywhere that ishouldn't _ i am not quite there yet, | but everyone is different. i'm hopeful that it's a good step forward. i'm quite apprehensive, this is the first time i've been in town for months and months, and i only came in because i had to have an appointment. but i'm hoping it's a step in the right direction and we don't have to then go back to where we were a few months back. the message from the scottish government is one of caution. the pandemic is not over and the number of coronavirus cases is expected to rise as restrictions are eased. brenda owns this florist in glasgow's west end. she's delighted that business is getting back to normal, but happy that she and her customers will still need to wear a mask inside her shop. we want to stay open. i mean, it's great getting back to the way things... getting a wee bit back

to normality again. so, yeah, i do. i don't think the masks are going anywhere soon. i think we're going to be having them on for a long, long time. and if that's what we have to do, that's what we have to do. this business was lucky. others have struggled when staff have had to self—isolate. from today, adults who are close contacts of someone with covid only need to isolate until they show a negative pcr test — so long as they have been double vaccinated. for the clubbers, this is as close to normal as it's been for well over a year. alexandra mackenzie, bbc news, glasgow. now it's time for a look at the weather with darren. hello. we are seeing some more heavy, thundery showers breaking out today, in particular across parts of scotland, northern ireland, southern england, too. some showers elsewhere developing and some sunshine around as well, and the winds are not as strong today. temperatures are not quite as high as they would normally be at this time of the year. we have still got these

heavy, thundery downpours into this evening. they will gradually fade away overnight and we will see some clearer spells developing. a little bit of mistiness here and there, and temperatures are likely to remain in double figures overnight. typically 12 or 13c in towns and cities. tomorrow looks like it is going to be a drier day for more of the country. we're going to have more sunshine around as well. can't rule out one or two showers across wales, some eastern parts of england. most of the showers will be further north in scotland this time, some heavy ones here, but a drier day through central and southern scotland. it will tend to cloud over a bit more in the afternoon for northern ireland. but a warmer day with light winds. we are looking at top temperatures of 22 or even 23c. hello. this is bbc news. the headlines — code red for humanity — a un report says carbon emissions have warmed the climate in every part of the globe — and that human activity is affecting land, air and seas.

it is indisputable that human activities are causing climate change and making extreme weather events more frequent and severe. team gb's athletes have landed back in the uk, after one of their most successful olympic games, with a haul of 65 medals. cheering the arrivals were headed up by team gb's golden couple jason and laura kenny, who both picked up historic gold medals in tokyo, pushing them in to the record books. no more social distancing — almost all coronavirus restrictions are now lifted in scotland; though nicola sturgeon warns the pandemic isn't over. club by night, vaccine centre by day — the attempt to encourage more 18 to 29—year—olds to have a covid jab. and, save geronimo — campaigners march to downing street to demand a reprieve for the alpaca who's tested positive for bovine tb.

sport, and for a full round—up, from the bbc sport centre, here's austin. good afternoon. the final batch of team gb's medallists have arrived back to heathrow, after the tokyo games came to a close yesterday, with team gb enjoying one of their most successful games — 22 golds won, in a total of 65 medals, matching the achievement of london 2012. 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 kierin, just behind. joe choong created history,

becoming the first british man to win modern pentathlon gold. after a long time away from his family, with various covid restrictions over the last few months, he was looking forward to the simple things. 0h, oh, it feels absolutely amazing. i haven't seen my family in nearly four months now, so i'm just really looking forward to getting home, getting my mum to cook something and just sitting in front of the tv and relaxing. i didn't expect there to be such a huge reception. obviously i was looking forward to seeing my family but i don't think i understood how much it would mean to me seeing them again after so long. so ijust don't me seeing them again after so long. so i just don't think me seeing them again after so long. so ijust don't think i could be happier right now. also, lauren price won britain's 22nd and final gold of the games yesterday morning. she's already looking ahead to paris in three years time. looking at the likes of obviously nicola _ looking at the likes of obviously nicola adams and katie taylor, they inspired _ nicola adams and katie taylor, they inspired a _ nicola adams and katie taylor, they inspired a lot of people after london _ inspired a lot of people after london 2012, when women's boxing was

we really, really get as many kids through? away from the olympics, chelsea are closing in on the signing of striker romelu lukaku. the inter milan forward is having a medical in italy today, ahead of a £97.5 million move to stamford bridge. lukaku's already played for chelsea, leaving the club in 2014, after just 15 appearances in three years. but, since then, he's gone on to become one of the most prolific strikers in europe, with 24 goals for inter last season, helping them to their first italian title in 11 years. and 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 gaulle airport on sunday, hoping messi would arrive. there's been no sign of him yet, but plenty think he's on his way.

that's all the sport for now. i'll have more for you in the next hour. thank you very much for sending in questions following the publication today of the un's climate change report. joining me is dr rosie robison, associate professor at the global sustainability institute from anglia ruskin university. she is in falmouth. and i'm alsojoined by professor lorraine whitmarsh, she isjoining us from bath. director of the centre for climate change and social transformations from the university of bath. thank you both for being with us. we will kick straight. rosie, can i start with you? this is from colin in who asks, i have an electric car and use a zero carbon electricity,

is a quick easy measure why isn't the government considering a national speed limit of say 50 miles an hour, which was the case during the crisis of the 1970s? as well as emissions, it might reduce travel and perhaps change attitudes? foretell. and perhaps change attitudes? well, thank ou and perhaps change attitudes? well, thank you for— and perhaps change attitudes? well, thank you for the _ and perhaps change attitudes? -ii thank you for the questions, congratulations colin on moving over to an electric vehicle and we certainly need to be considering all and every measure and have everything on the table in order to try to bring our carbon emissions down as quickly as we can, and colin is absolutely right that most vehicles, most cars are most efficient at around 40 to 550 miles an hour mark, and it sounds like you might actually be familiar —— 40 to 55 miles an hour mark. and practices around hyper myelin, where you are trying to get as much distance as you can from a certain amount of fuel in your vehicle —— hyper myelin, making sure your tyres are pumped up and reducing unnecessary weight are all the things we can do to try to reduce that carbon impact. on that note, it is important to

remember that one of the biggest impacts for cars and four vehicles is obviously vehicle size, so making sure that you have the smallest vehicle that you can manage with, it is very important. so these are all measures we should be considering, absolutely. measures we should be considering, absolutel . ., , ., ,, , absolutely. lovely, thank you very much. lorraine, _ absolutely. lovely, thank you very much. lorraine, this _ absolutely. lovely, thank you very much. lorraine, this is _ absolutely. lovely, thank you very much. lorraine, this is from - absolutely. lovely, thank you very much. lorraine, this is from anne | much. lorraine, this is from anne marie in scotland, who asks i am growing a variety of plants to try to attract insects and small animal life, try to avoid using unnecessary plastic, i don't drive any more, i recycle as much as possible and monitor my energy consumption. apart from those things, whatever suggestions would you make to individuals to try to help on a daily, weekly basis? because as ever a lot of people sitting at home are thinking, iam really a lot of people sitting at home are thinking, i am really worried about this, and i'm seeing the consequences, but i don't really know if i can do anything as an individual that's going to make any difference. . ., ., ., difference. yeah, thanks for that . uestion, difference. yeah, thanks for that question, anne-marie, - difference. yeah, thanks for that question, anne-marie, and - difference. yeah, thanks for that question, anne-marie, and it's l question, anne—marie, and it's really— question, anne—marie, and it's really great that you are making all those _ really great that you are making all those changes, and particularly that

home and improving your home insulation for example, and remembering that that is going to protect against things like heatwaves as well. i know that the met office has predicted that by 2050 we are likely to see heatwaves every other year in the uk, so if we're talking about how we're going to be affected in this country, and honestly there are some quite stark messages around sea level rise as well, and is a coastal nation this is something that we are obviously particularly going to be aware of, but the other point we have to remember how much of an interconnected world we live in and therefore these impacts, increasing in frequency in other countries, has a big repercussions for us very quickly, around for example global food supply and other goods and so forth, and services that we rely on. not to mention seeing humanitarian crises in other countries, and the kind of chaotic impact that can have

on the global stage, so arguably, climate change is already having impacts on all of us, every day. we may not always recognise it as such, but this is only going to become more intensive in the coming decades, which is why the sooner that we take bigger actions, and the more we can reduce this, the better. lorraine, i saw you nodding there when rosie was talking, is your argument now that actually it already is affecting everyone? we mightjust not quite have spotted it ourselves, individually yet, but we are already being impacted? that's riuht. the are already being impacted? that's right. the report _ are already being impacted? that's right. the report that _ are already being impacted? that's right. the report that came - are already being impacted? that's right. the report that came out - right. the report that came out today— right. the report that came out today actually shows that increasingly we can actually attribute climate change as the main cause _ attribute climate change as the main cause to _ attribute climate change as the main cause to many of the sorts of events that we _ cause to many of the sorts of events that we are — cause to many of the sorts of events that we are starting to see now in recent— that we are starting to see now in recent months and in recent years. this increase — recent months and in recent years. this increase in extreme weather events, _ this increase in extreme weather events, in— this increase in extreme weather events, in wildfires, floods etc that we — events, in wildfires, floods etc that we have started to see, we are seeing _ that we have started to see, we are seeing the — that we have started to see, we are seeing the effects of climate change

transport. so we have tended to make the wrong decisions in planning that encourages people to drive more. that is starting to change, so the couple _ that is starting to change, so the couple -- — that is starting to change, so the couple -- a — that is starting to change, so the couple —— a couple of years ago the garment— couple —— a couple of years ago the garment launched its plan, and one of the _ garment launched its plan, and one of the commitments included was to ensure _ of the commitments included was to ensure that — of the commitments included was to ensure that the carbonisation was part of— ensure that the carbonisation was part of local planning decisions, so that hopefully we will see less of the sorts — that hopefully we will see less of the sorts of things and there was a commitment to funding more walking, cycling _ commitment to funding more walking, cycling and _ commitment to funding more walking, cycling and public transport at local— cycling and public transport at local level and giving local authorities the tools to encourage those _ authorities the tools to encourage those sorts of changes in our travel behaviour — those sorts of changes in our travel behaviour. so we are seeing things moving _ behaviour. so we are seeing things moving in— behaviour. so we are seeing things moving in the right direction, but it has— moving in the right direction, but it has been— moving in the right direction, but it has been very frustrating that for so _ it has been very frustrating that for so long the incentives have been there _ for so long the incentives have been there to _ for so long the incentives have been there to encourage us to drive, and as she _ there to encourage us to drive, and as she flags, — there to encourage us to drive, and as she flags, it is notjust about climate — as she flags, it is notjust about climate but about our health as well, _ climate but about our health as well, the — climate but about our health as well, the more we are driving the more _ well, the more we are driving the more we — well, the more we are driving the more we are polluting our air in the cities, _ more we are polluting our air in the cities, so _ more we are polluting our air in the cities, so there is an air pollution problem. — cities, so there is an air pollution problem, but also we are not getting

questions around reducing carbon emissions are notjust about individuals making changes to their lives, these are affecting jobs and industries, we need support and policy that recognises this, and also people taking the lead within industry and business, senior figures within different business and organisations to be stepping up and organisations to be stepping up and thinking about how industries can move to be greener, because this is going to happen, and if we are able to start making those changes earlier, and if we are able to start looking at how we can move industries to become lower carbon emitting, it will be less painful, if you see what i mean, than if abrupt changes are made. but absolutely, there are lots of co—benefits around health and well—being, whether that is to do with food and diet, whether it is to do with active travel and cycling and walking, there are lots of

positives to be gained, and this is not about making lots of sacrifices. yes, this is making big changes to our lives, but the more we can do this in a planned manner, rather than having things forced upon us, because, as it were, it has become too late, then the more that we can make these decisions and in a positive manner. it make these decisions and in a positive manner.— positive manner. it is a controversial _ positive manner. it is a controversial question | positive manner. it is a - controversial question coming positive manner. it is a _ controversial question coming up, rosie, let me put this to you. on the back of the latest report, douglas in list asks should the british, now stop further expansion of airports and stop hs2, which is destroying green fields and forests? —— douglas in lithgow. destroying green fields and forests? -- douglas in lithgow.— destroying green fields and forests? -- douglas in lithgow. thank you for the question- — -- douglas in lithgow. thank you for the question. the _ -- douglas in lithgow. thank you for the question. the point _ -- douglas in lithgow. thank you for the question. the point around - the question. the point around airports first, people may be aware that taking a flight is one of the quickest ways to release a huge amount of carbon into the atmosphere, and certainly on an

individual level, this is one of the big ticket items, and i think when it comes to individual projects around airport expansion, what we need to sort of take a step back and think really carefully about is what kind of message are these decisions sending out? so, regardless of the sort of individual pluses and minuses of projects, are we sending out a message that, you know, not only can we carry on with high carbon emitting activity, but we can actually increase them, and how is that then going to help people to be making big decisions in their everyday lives, which is what we need. so i think there is a really important question for government and policy around decisions like that. when it comes to the hs2 project, absolutely, as you say, a controversial project, and i know they have been big questions asked around for example the biodiversity impact of the project, but also people have wondered whether it will end up making the savings predicted,

for example, you can imagine unintended consequences where people travel, it is quicker for people to travel, it is quicker for people to travel to airports, and therefore increasing flying. so these are not simple questions, and harking back to the first question that we had from colin, around reducing speed of car travel, one of the reasons we travel so much more now is because it has become a lot quicker. and really one of the things big and have to do is travel less. so thinking about should we actually be travelling a bit slower, enjoying the journey more and so forth, and actually that part of the picture of how we are going to achieve reducing our travel quite significantly. lorraine, briefly and finally if you can, tom garrett is looking for something very simply, he says is there a good place to go, which gives you lots of advice on what we can do as individuals, petitions to sign, service providers to use, things like those green tariffs and

for people to get a jab. not the sort of shots you'd normally expect to have on a night out at a club. on the dance floor of this london venue, people are getting their dose of the covid vaccine. i'm actually in a musical in the west end at the corner, and i've just finished a show, and i noticed that this was open. it's, like, such a good thing for, like, the youth. to be like, look, this is where we're at. you know this place. you feel comfortable here. sojust come along and get yourjab. for the first time, night clubs, including heaven in central london and the nightingale in birmingham, are being used as temporary vaccination clinics to try to encourage more young people to get the jab. in the same way that different communities have gone - into, whether it be a synagogue or a mosque, wherever- they go, to try to target different communities, i we can target a younger audience. other attempts to target a younger age group include the surrey theme park thorpe park offering jabs at a pop—up clinic, the festival latitude hosting a vaccination bus, and free food and live music at a vaccine festival in the london borough of tower hamlets. more incentives are planned, such as discounts on deliveroo

meals and uber journeys. from september, the government says unvaccinated people won't be able to enter night clubs and other large—scale events. but how effective can the carrot and stick approach be? 23—year—old sam duffy was keen to get the vaccine as soon as he was eligible. his twin is the opposite. these covid passports and stuff come in later in the year. he's not going to be able to go out to any bars, clubs, things like that. why is he hesitant? a lot of online stuff. he reads the misinformation about it, a bit sceptical. he's a bit nervous about the long—term side effects of it. latest figures show that, while vaccine hesitancy is falling slightly among the young, just under 70% of 18— to 29—year—olds have had their firstjab, compared to just under 90% of the wider adult population. but the nhs lead at this pop—up clinic says young uptake is proportional to the relatively short time they've been eligible for the vaccine.

i'm not sure if it's really about young people, really. because actually we still have a lot of people who are older and other sort of vulnerable populations that are still not vaccinated yet. work continues on finding ways to get more of the population jabbed. these young people at least are now part of that club. luxmy gopal, bbc news. campaigners, fighting to save an alpaca from being put down, will march on downing street later this afternoon, to lobby for a reprieve. the government says geronimo must be culled because he's twice tested positive for bovine tb, which is a risk to cattle. andrew plant reports. she has been fighting to keep her alpaca alive for four years. now, geronimo's story has started making headlines, after the courts ruled he could be put down any time in the next four weeks. how are you feeling about all

the support you've had? oh, just immense. it's keeping me going. this is an animal injustice. what are you going to do if people turn up at your gates? i'm not going to break the law but i won't be making it easy. i'm not going to be helping them to kill an animal that doesn't need to be killed. bovine tb is a common issue for uk farmers — around 40,000 cows are killed after positive tests each year. helen thinks geronimo's tests were flawed and is calling on the government to take another look. i think that this alpaca gives us a chance to put btb testing under the microscope in the uk. we have long been worried about its accuracy, its ability to give false positives and also false negatives as well. the impact goes far beyond alpacas. this has a significant impact for british farming, too. the environment secretary george eustace has said geronimo's tests were reliable. downing street also expressed its sympathy but said everything possible needed to be done to fight bovine tb.

no test is absolutely perfect. no test is absolutely 100% sensitive or 100% specificj so defra have to work on the big numbers, and they make policyl based on the big numbers, i and decisions based on those big numbers, whereas, - for the individual, of course, you are always hoping that your |animal is one of the one or 2%,j 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. now it's time for a look at the weather, with darren bett.

hello. we are seeing some more heavy, thundery showers breaking out today, in particular across parts of scotland, northern ireland, southern england, too. some showers elsewhere developing, and some sunshine around as well, and the winds are not as strong today. temperatures are not quite as high as they would normally be at this time of the year. we have still got these heavy, thundery downpours into this evening. they will gradually fade away overnight and we will see some clearer spells developing. a little bit of mistiness here and there, and temperatures are likely to remain in double figures overnight. typically 12 or 13c in towns and cities. tomorrow looks like it is going to be a drier day for more of the country. we're going to have more sunshine around as well. can't rule out one or two showers across wales, some eastern parts of england. most of the showers will be further north in scotland this time, some heavy ones here, but a drier day through central and southern scotland. it will tend to cloud over a bit more in the afternoon for northern ireland. but a warmer day with light winds. we are looking at top temperatures of 22 or even 23c.

this is bbc news. the headlines: a warning of a "code red for humanity" by the united nations, a report — described as a major wake—up call — says carbon emissions have warmed the climate in every part of the world. borisjohnson said the report "makes for sobering reading". labour is demanding more government action now. it is not climate deniers that are the problem, it is a climate delay is, those who accept there is a problem but are not going quickly enough and the prime minister is in that category. he has enough sound bites but not enough action. cheering. team gb's athletes have landed back in the uk, after one of their most successful olympic games — with a haul of 65 medals. cheering.

the arrivals were headed up by team gb's golden couple jason and laura kenny — who both picked up historic gold medals in tokyo pushing them in to the record books. no more social distancing — almost all coronavirus restrictions are now lifted in scotland, though nicola sturgeon warns the pandemic isn't over. club by night, vaccine centre by day — the attempt to encourage more 18 to 29 year olds to have a covid jab. and, save geronimo! more than 100,000 people sign a petition demanding a reprieve for the alpaca who's twice tested positive for bovine tb.

a code red for humanity — that's how the biggest ever report on climate change is being described by the un secretary general. the study, produced by hundreds of the world's top scientists and signed off by all the world's governments, says it's unequivocal that human activities are responsible for global warming. the report describes an overheating world slipping into crisis — with more weather extremes and rising temperatures in the coming years. the government's climate co—ordinator alok sharma says the report is a stark warning about the need to cut emissions. here's our energy and environment analyst roger harrabin. sirens wail wildfires are blazing through turkey and greece. they're rushing through california, too. in previous years, the panel wouldn't have been confident to blame climate change for the heatwaves behind the fires.

not now. it tells us that it is indisputable that human activities are causing climate change and making extreme weather events more frequent and severe. second, it shows that climate change is affecting every region on our planet. the world listened, but didn't hear. the world listened, but it didn't act strongly enough. and as a result, climate change is a problem that is here now. nobody's safe, and it's getting worse faster. that increased heat will change weather patterns, bringing more droughts, heatwaves and more rainfall, researchers say. this continuing warming of the planet has very severe consequences. we're already seeing increases in the intensity and frequency of heatwaves around the world. we're already seeing changes

to extreme rainfall. london was shocked to find areas under water a few weeks ago. rainfall patterns are hard to predict, but experts say northern europe will become wetter overall. london's hampstead ponds... they've already had to raise and reinforce the dams to protect hundreds of homes downstream from the sort of floods expected in extreme rains that are forecast to come. the cost has been huge. we're already paying the price of ignoring scientists' warnings on climate change. ice in the arctic is melting faster than many scientists predicted. it's leading to sea—level rise, which in turn increases coastal flooding. the seas will keep rising for may be thousands of years because the ocean deep has absorbed so much heat already. if we do have immediate, rapid and large—scale reductions in greenhouse gas emissions, we can still limit warming to 1.5 degrees above the late 1800s, but if we don't enact the policies

and pledges that we already have in place, and in fact if we don't make those stronger, then we won't meet that target. political attitudes are changing. the uk is getting electric cars, for instance. we need clean technology for home heating, too. in the words of one leading scientist, we're not doomed, but if we want to avoid catastrophe, we have to drastically cut emissions — now. roger harrabin, bbc news. the man in charge of the cop26 climate conference has welcomed the un report. alok sharma warned that many countries still weren't doing enough to limit the effects of global warming on the planet. i think what we have seen from the ipcc today is a report which paints in very stark terms why this is going to be the decisive

decade in terms of climate action being taken by all countries across the world. the good news is, the door is still ajar and there is still time to act but the door is closing and i think there will come a point where it would be irreversible. and that's why, to avoid catastrophic climate change, we need to take action now — that's the message i'm taking to world leaders across the globe. of course we want, at cop26, to be able to say with credibility that we have kept the goal of limiting global temperature rises to 1.5 degrees within reach. how much arm—twisting have you got to do between now and the summit, to make sure the door remains ajar? we have seen in the past months since we took over the presidency of cop26 that we have gone from 30% of the global economy being covered

by a net zero emissions target up to 70% so we have made progress. all the g7 countries have come forward with ambitious plans to cut emissions in the near term and also on a trajectory to net zero by 2050 but of course we need all countries to come forward, especially the g20 nations — they together represent 80% of global emissions and 85% of the global economy and that's why we need to see further action from them. alok sharma, there. the labour leader sir keir starmer was asked for his reaction to the un report — let's have a listen to what he said. it is the starkest reminder yet that the climate crisis is with us here and now and that we need urgent action. many people think this is about 2050 but what we do now and until 2030 is crucially important and it also underlines that it is not climate deniers that are the problem now, but climate delayers, you accept there is a problem but are not going quickly enough. the prime minister is in that category,

he has enough sound bites but not enough action on climate change going into cop26 that needs to change rapidly. going into cop26 that needs to change rapidly-— going into cop26 that needs to chance raidl . ~ ., ., change rapidly. what do we need? somethin: change rapidly. what do we need? something that _ change rapidly. what do we need? something that matches _ change rapidly. what do we need? something that matches the - change rapidly. what do we need? something that matches the scale| change rapidly. what do we need? i something that matches the scale of the crisis and in the labour party we have said we need £30 billion worth of investment in the jobs for the future creating 400,000 jobs for the future, and it is that sort of ambition that we need. not sound bites that are not backed up by action. the young swedish activist greta thunberg says she now hopes to attend the cop26 summit in glasgow if all the delegates are vaccinated. she also said the world must take heed of the dire report by the u.n. climate panel. this report does not tell us what to do and it does not say you have to do this and then do this — it does not provide us with such solutions or say that you need to do this, and that is up to us. we are the ones who need to take the decisions and we are the ones who need to be brave and ask the difficult questions to ourselves, like what we value,

are we ready to take action to make sure of our future and present living conditions? we have some breaking news, the latest coronavirus statistics just released by the government. in the 24 hours until monday, there were 37 deaths, people who had tested positive within the last 28 days of covid. on the vaccination figures, 89% of the uk population have had one dose and 74.8% have had both doses, that is adults. the rate has slowed significantly in recent weeks, so we are now inching up in terms of increasing numbers, with those who are simply resistant to it and don't want it, as it hasn't been possible to get into vaccination centres, and trying to close the gap

is what the government is attempting to do and is the next challenge amongst younger people and we will talk about that during the course of this hour. now to the olympics. team gb's olympic medal winning athletes have landed at heathrow, at the end of the tokyo olympics. the team equalled its tally from london 2012, winning 65 medals — including 22 golds. our sports correspondent eleanor roper has more from heathrow. it has been a bonkers half an hour with everyone coming off the plane. loads of family and friends here to greet them. we have had people waving flags. lots of support. we had the kennys arriving first, they got a great reception, although we did not get to speak to them. they rushed straight off. this is them arriving. i spoke to lauren price who won olympic gold.

these olympics have been an olympics like no other, with empty stadiums and worries about the spread of the coronavirus but it has provided a huge distraction back home for some really special moments for those of us watching. the closing ceremony was yesterday and here is a round—up of the action now. the show had to go on. an olympic games like no other, finishing how it started, a stunning spectacle but no spectators. led by its most successful woman, laura kenny, team gb celebrated its second most successful overseas games with a celebration fitting of the olympic stadium. the end of 16 days we thought might never happen. you created the magic of these olympic games, tokyo 2020. in these difficult times, you gave to the world, the most precious of gifts — hope! it was a golden end for team gb... commentator: and jason kenny stands

alone in british olympic history! - whether you've won your seventh gold or yourfirst, the metal is just as precious. just ask wales' lauren price. i can't really put it into words, it's just a dream come true. yeah, i still can't believe it, i've got to pinch myself but itjust goes to show years of hard work, if you dream and you work hard enough, you can achieve anything. achieve, team gb did, exceeding expectations with 65 medals, 22 of them gold, fourth overall. when we look back on tokyo it'll go down as a games to remember, packed with hits, highs and heroes. great britain have a gold medal in the diving pool! it had heartbreak for those whose dreams were dashed. oh, no, katarina johnson—thompson, it all comes crashing down. there were sports we've not seen at the olympics before. hands in the air, yes, sky!

there were the faces some couldn't wait to see again. there were the stars who stood up for more than just their sport, who spoke out for the millions whose voices can't be heard. it's ok sometimes to even sit out the big competitions to focus on yourself, because it shows how strong of a competitor and person you really are. but we should be out here having fun and sometimes that's not the case. the city cannot sleep yet, though, the paralympics comes to town two weeks tomorrow. for the olympic games, sport's most iconic arena held against the most challenging of backdrops. we say thank you tokyo, thank you japan. it's arigato, tokyo... ..a bientot, paris. ben croucher, bbc news. among those team gb athletes returning to london this afternoon was boxer galal yafai who won men's flyweight gold. he described the reception

earlier, we heard the dramatic warnings about climate change from un scientists. it comes as hundreds more people have been forced to leave their homes in parts of greece, where wildfires are continuing to burn out of control. scorching temperatures across much of southern europe this summer have left woodland tinder dry and susceptible to fire. greece itself is experiencing its biggest heatwave in 30 years. matt graveling reports. sirens wail thousands of hectares — habitats, homes — all reduced to ash. with each change in the wind carving a new path of devastation, those who stay save whatever they can. others pack up their lives and head to the port. it's like a scene of an apocalyptic movie, definitely, because there is no sky,

the sun is red, it's quite scary. more than 2,000 people have been evacuated from evia by ferry. once off the island, miles of smoke show the scale of the fight, and it's this smoke, authorities say, hampers efforts to douse fires from above. those on the ground say more needs to be done. most people see that we don't have any help until yesterday, and they could save everybody, and it wasn't true. the people don't know where to go. the big problem is that we feel that they let us burn. france, germany and the uk have all offered their help to greece, currently experiencing its hottest weather for 30 years. scientists warn that failure to tackle our impact on climate change means temperatures — and the consequences — will continue to rise. matt graveling, bbc news.

our europe correspondent bethany bell has more from the greek island of evia. as you can see, this hillside is black, charred, the trees have been killed and things are really looking bleak here. elsewhere on evia, the fires are still raging, out of control, and they are trying to put them out with helicopters and planes dropping great quantities of water on the hillside to try and extinguish the flames. but it has really been an uphill struggle because the hot temperatures, extremely hot, that greece has been facing, have not helped, because all of the ground is so tinder dry it makes things extremely difficult. the locals here are saying they feel abandoned by the government, they say there is climate change, clearly, which is a factor in these wildfires, but they say also not enough has been done to help in terms of trying to protect these forests.

the government says it is doing all it can and its priority, it says, is to save human lives. they say that this has been a really nightmarish summer. we will talk a bit later about the report on climate change. we have some guests coming up. but before that... almost all scotland's remaining coronavirus restrictions have been lifted. it means an end to social distancing and limits on indoor gathering — although the wearing of masks is still compulsory in some public spaces. many nightclubs opened at midnight for the first time in nearly 18 months. the first minister, nicola sturgeon, says it's the right moment to try to get back to normality — while warning people the pandemic is not over. our scotland correspondent alexandra mackenzie reports. cheering it's been a long wait, but for the first time

since the beginning of the pandemic, clubs and clubbers in scotland are back. we're so buzzing, we're so excited. it's my favourite club, so... it's going to be amazing. the buff club in glasgow was raring to go atjust one minute past midnight. there was no social distancing required, and no facemasks when dancing, drinking or dining. restaurants and cafes are back at full capacity, with no limit on the number of households per table. masks must be worn when walking around, and customers should still use the test and protect app. so, for us, the lack of social distancing now inside is a really big thing in hospitality. it means for us we have now the capacity for 14 tables instead of eight. so obviously that's more people through the doors. it's really great news, it's a big step forward. this morning, people in glasgow were getting used to life with fewer rules. i prefer everybody back in the house because that means i can't get myjob done quickly! it's actually a lot better out here,

a bit of normality, you know what i mean? rather thanjust sitting about the house or going outside, actually seeing a lot more faces rather thanjust sitting about at home, like. not too sure, i'm still staying - at home, working at home and trying to avoid going anywhere that ishouldn't _ i am not quite there yet, | but everyone is different. i'm hopeful that it's a good step forward. i'm quite apprehensive, this is the first time i've been in town for months and months, and i only came in because i had to have an appointment. but i'm hoping it's a step in the right direction and we don't have to then go back to where we were a few months back. the message from the scottish government is one of caution. the pandemic is not over and the number of coronavirus cases is expected to rise as restrictions are eased. brenda owns this florist in glasgow's west end. she's delighted that business is getting back to normal, but happy that she and her customers will still need to wear a mask inside her shop.

we want to stay open. i mean, it's great getting back to the way things... getting a wee bit back to normality again. so, yeah, i do. i don't think the masks are going anywhere soon. i think we're going to be having them on for a long, long time. and if that's what we have to do, that's what we have to do. this business was lucky. others have struggled when staff have had to self—isolate. from today, adults who are close contacts of someone with covid only need to isolate until they show a negative pcr test — so long as they have been double vaccinated. for the clubbers, this is as close to normal as it's been for well over a year. alexandra mackenzie, bbc news, glasgow. about 30% of 18 to 29 year olds in the uk still haven't had their first coronavirus jab. to try to improve that,

young people are being offered free taxis, pizzas and cinema tickets as incentives. and as luxmy gopal reports, venues like nightclubs are being turned into vaccination centres during the day — to try to make it easier for people to get a jab. not the sort of shots you'd normally expect to have on a night out at a club. on the dance floor of this london venue, people are getting their dose of the covid vaccine. i'm actually in a musical in the west end at the corner, and i've just finished a show, and i noticed that this was open. it's such a good thing for, like, the youth. to be like, look, this is where we're at. you know this place. you feel comfortable here. sojust come along and get yourjab. for the first time, night clubs, including heaven in central london and the nightingale in birmingham, are being used as temporary vaccination clinics to try to encourage more young people to get the jab. in the same way that different communities have gone into whether it be a synagogue or a mosque, wherever

they go to try to target different communities, we can target a younger audience. other attempts to target a younger age group include the surrey theme park thorpe park offering jabs at a pop—up clinic, the festival latitude hosting a vaccination bus, and free food and live music at a vaccine festival in the london borough of tower hamlets. more incentives are planned, such as discounts on deliveroo meals and uber journeys. from september, the government says unvaccinated people won't be able to enter night clubs and other large—scale events. but how effective can the carrot and stick approach be? 23—year—old sam duffy was keen to get the vaccine as soon as he was eligible. his twin is the opposite. these covid passports and stuff come in later in the year. he's not going to be able to go out to any bars, clubs, things like that. why is he hesitant? a lot of online stuff. he reads the misinformation about it, a bit sceptical.

he's a bit nervous about the long term side effects of it. latest figures show that, while vaccine hesitancy is falling slightly among the young, just under 70% of 18— to 29—year—olds have had their first jab compared to just under 90% of the wider adult population. but the nhs lead at this pop—up clinic says young uptake is proportional to the relatively short time they've been eligible for the vaccine. i'm not sure if it's really about young people, really. because actually we still have a lot of people who are older and other sort of vulnerable populations that are still not vaccinated yet. work continues on finding ways to get more of the population jabbed. these young people at least are now part of that club. luxmy gopal, bbc news. more now on the un climate report — we can speak now to patricia espinosa. she is executive secretary of the united nations framework convention on climate change.

catastrophes, i really hope that this situation is going to raise awareness and the need to immediately act on the climate emergency. immediately act on the climate emergency-— immediately act on the climate emeruen . �* ~ emergency. and in mexico, your count ? emergency. and in mexico, your country? mexico _ emergency. and in mexico, your country? mexico has _ emergency. and in mexico, your country? mexico has been - emergency. and in mexico, your country? mexico has been hit i emergency. and in mexico, your| country? mexico has been hit for emergency. and in mexico, your. country? mexico has been hit for a lona , country? mexico has been hit for a long. long. — country? mexico has been hit for a long. long. long — country? mexico has been hit for a long, long, long time. _ country? mexico has been hit for a long, long, long time. we - country? mexico has been hit for a long, long, long time. we have . long, long, long time. we have experienced the cyclone season every year, floods in different parts of the country, our part of the reality that we have experienced, and things have become even more critical. they have become even more critical. they have also become more critical in central america which has had a lot of migration from central america into mexico, some people stay there but others try to reach the us, so in that region we are already seeing

some of the information that came in later including the us and canada. these are two countries that are important in terms of their emissions and their contribution to global warming. emissions and their contribution to globalwarming. now, even today, we are still around 60% of the parties who have presented new or updated information, so the ipcc report, what it is telling us, we really need 100% of the parties to come forward and present new information, and even those that have already presented, they should be critically looking again at their plans and define whether they can increase ambition. we are not there yet. in

my view, the only responsible thing that all decision—makers should be doing is really to take this report very seriously. doing is really to take this report very seriously-— doing is really to take this report very seriously. executive secretary ofthe very seriously. executive secretary of the united _ very seriously. executive secretary of the united nations _ very seriously. executive secretary of the united nations framework l very seriously. executive secretaryl of the united nations framework on climate change, thanks forjoining us. climate change, thanks for “oining us. . ~' climate change, thanks for “oining us. . ~ , ., now it's time for a look at the weather with darren bett. hello. we are seeing some more heavy, thundery showers breaking out today, in particular across parts of scotland, northern ireland, southern england, too. some showers elsewhere developing and some sunshine around as well, and the winds are not as strong today. temperatures are not quite as high as they would normally be at this time of the year. we have still got these heavy, thundery downpours into this evening. they will gradually fade away overnight and we will see some clearer spells developing. a little bit of mistiness here and there, and temperatures are likely to remain in double figures overnight. typically 12 or 13c in towns and cities. tomorrow looks like it is going to be a drier day

for more of the country. we're going to have more sunshine around as well. can't rule out one or two showers across wales, some eastern parts of england. most of the showers will be further north in scotland this time, some heavy ones here, but a drier day through central and southern scotland. it will tend to cloud over a bit more in the afternoon for northern ireland. but a warmer day with light winds. we are looking at top temperatures of 22 or even 23c. hello. this is bbc news. the headlines — a warning of a "code red for humanity" by the united nations. a report, described as a major wake—up call, says carbon emissions have warmed the climate in every part of the world. borisjohnson said the report "makes for sobering reading". labour is demanding more government action — now. it's not climate deniers that are the problem now, its climate delay is, those that except there is that except there's a problem, but aren't

going quickly enough, and the prime minister's in that category. he's got a lot of sound bites, but not enough action. team gb's athletes have landed back in the uk, after one of their most successful olympic games, with a haul of 65 medals. cheering the arrivals were headed up by team gb's golden couple jason and laura kenny, who both picked up historic gold medals in tokyo, pushing them in to the record books. no more social—distancing — almost all coronavirus restrictions are now lifted in scotland, though nicola sturgeon warns the pandemic isn't over. club by night, vaccine centre by day — the attempt to encourage more 18— to 29—year—olds to have a covid jab. and, save geronimo! more than 100,000 people sign a petition, demanding a reprieve for the alpaca who's tested positive for bovine tb.

sport and for a full round—up from the bbc sport centre, here's austin. hi, sean, good afternoon. the last medals have been awarded, the fireworks have gone out and the final batch of team gb's medallists have arrived back to heathrow, after the tokyo games came to a close yesterday. team gb enjoyed one of their most successful games, with 22 golds and 65 medals in total, matching the achievement of london 2012. laura kenny, who won a gold and a silver, and also carried the flag in the closing ceremony, led the team off the plane with her husband, jason, gold medallist in the men's kierin, just behind. well, inside the terminal, one of the biggest receptions was afforded to boxer galal yafai, who won gold in the flyweight division.

but, since then he's gone on to become one of the most prolific strikers in europe, with 2a goals for inter last season, helping them to their first italian title in 11 years. that's all the sport for now. thank you, austin. more now on the un's assessment of climate change that portrays an overheating world slipping deeper into crisis. in just under three months' time, the cop26 summit will take place in glasgow, and is being touted as an opportunity to turn promises into practice, with a focus on a target of 1.5 degrees. what is it, and why does it matter? our reality check correspondent chris morris explains. it was the last big international climate summit in paris in 2015, which produced a legally—binding treaty with a clear goal, to limit global warming this century to well below two degrees

and preferably to 1.5 celsius, compared to preindustrial levels. and it's important to stress that, when we talk about 1.5 degrees of warming, we are talking about the increase in the average temperature across the whole planet. now, it doesn't sound like a lot, but some places have already seen much bigger increases than that, and as the earth warms up, extreme weather events are becoming more frequent. climate scientists were alarmed by how extreme some of them have been, such as the soaring temperatures in north america's heat dome injune and july this year, smashing previous records. the comparison to preindustrial levels, a couple of hundred of years ago, is also important, because nearly all man—made global warming has been caused by our use of fossil fuels, coal, oil and gas, which have powered the industrial age. the transition to renewable energy is well under way, but it's going to be really hard to meet the 1.5 degrees target. some experts think it may already be too late to do so. the increase in global temperatures

has now reached about 1.1, or 1.2 degrees above preindustrial levels, so if current trends continued, it's likely we would pass 1.5 degrees sometime in the 20305, and possibly even sooner, and we would be heading for at least three degrees of warming by the end of the century, with catastrophic consequences. that's why there is now such a concerted push for action, and the difference between 1.5 and two degrees may not seem that significant, but the intergovernmental panel on climate change has said 1.5 instead of two degrees would mean, among other things, ten million fewer people losing their homes to rising sea levels, potentially preventing some low—lying island countries from disappearing altogether. it would limit the loss of coral reefs, of endangered species and of arctic sea ice, and there would be roughly 50% fewer people around the world struggling to find fresh water. even at 1.5 degrees, there will be big changes to our climate, but one of the main goals in glasgow is to keep the target firmly within reach.

to do that, the world needs to halve greenhouse gas emissions over the next decade, and reach net zero emissions by the middle of the century. that all means huge and rapid changes to the way societies and companies operate, and this is the decade when those changes are going to have to start happening. ambassador diann black—layne is the lead climate negotiator for the alliance of small island states — an organisation which represents low—lying costal and small island countries. thank you very much for being with us. from your perspective, and the respective of the state you represent, what has been the biggest failure so far of the process that

your listeners could understand that. the g20 countries spent over $660 billion to subsidise the fossil fuel industry, and this industry is generating 86% of greenhouse gases. as of 2019, this isjust generating 86% of greenhouse gases. as of 2019, this is just only a few years after the paris agreement, which means that they are not actually meeting their obligations. 0n the issue of renewable energy now, there is over 330 billion being spent on renewable energy, alone. i mean, this is crazy. and then the fund that has been set up and agreed, underthe fund that has been set up and agreed, under the convention, and included in the paris agreement only gets 2.4 billion per year to help countries cope with climate change. so we have political will, yes. clearly, there is a lot of money, right, but that money and that political will, right, but that money and that politicalwill, it's right, but that money and that political will, it's still going to the fossil fuel industry. i’m political will, it's still going to the fossil fuel industry. the fossilfuel industry. i'm really interested in _ the fossilfuel industry. i'm really interested in that, _ the fossilfuel industry. i'm really interested in that, two _ the fossilfuel industry. i'm really interested in that, two things - the fossilfuel industry. i'm really interested in that, two things to l interested in that, two things to pick a particularly there. you talk

about the $2.4 billion a year that is available. those islands, particularly the island nations, were promised 100 billion a year. 2.4 compared to 100 billion is frankly peanuts.— frankly peanuts. right, so the fossil fuel _ frankly peanuts. right, so the fossil fuel is _ frankly peanuts. right, so the fossil fuel is getting _ frankly peanuts. right, so the fossil fuel is getting from - frankly peanuts. right, so the fossil fuel is getting from all. frankly peanuts. right, so the| fossil fuel is getting from all of our taxpayers dollars, we pay our taxes, to our government, and then those taxes have been siphoned off and given to the fossil fuel industry at the tune of over 600 billion per year. and we are saying the same thing, all right, let's do the same thing, all right, let's do the same thing, all right, let's do the same process, let's look for the same etymology and put 100 billion per year to cope with the damage and the losses, and clearly on paper it was yes, but in practice it is no. let me ask you about specifics, because they have been specific issues that effect in particular the low—lying island states, some of whom are already feeling quite

dramatic change, and thinking of the caribbean with the really severe hurricanes it has expansion in the last couple of years and the damage that has been done in the pacific. some of the effects there are quite dramatic. let's leave aside the argument about our island is sinking, because there is a dispute about that, and some say some of the islands over the years have got larger, but the issue is, i was quoting research from the university of canada, which is in the economist today, which says 14% had shrunk and a couple had disappeared, 43% were the same size, and another 43% became bigger. but even if that's the case, you might argue with those figures that come from research conducted by paul clench now at the university of canada, there are still impacts, we can see those impacts, currently, in terms of sala nation of water, because sea waters are coming in. we can see impact in terms of crops which can't be grown because of the sea water getting in. what would you say are the most

immediate impact that those low—lying states are facing? 50. low-lying states are facing? so, first of all. _ low-lying states are facing? so, first of all, the _ low—lying states are facing? sr, first of all, the reason why we are only now addressing climate change is that we've spent the last 13 years fighting over data, and fighting over these studies. many of our island people live on our islands, we have been there for generations, and although we are not from universities, we might not have graduated from a phd or anything like that, our traditional knowledge is good, and it is true, and we have passed that history down to our children and our children's children, and we understand the stop and you can take a photo, just a simple photo, if you are a tourist only ever to a country and you keep repeatedly going, you will see the difference. but of course university say these things it took 30 years for the ipcc to come to come to this point, when small island and developing countries some 30 years ago said this exact same thing. so,

i mean, there has been a lot of damage done, but right now, i think there is a pause, because we are realising that the damage is not only for small and developing states, it is in developed countries, and those developed countries's individuals, their homes, like yourselves and others, who live in turkey, and who live in the united states, they have access to lawyers, and the capacity to sue the fossil fuel industry. we in the small and developing states, we don't. all we can do is come to every single meeting and raised the alarm and request this: can you not put any more carbon dioxide in the air? so we are not battling about data any more, we are confirmed, we know what we see, and we will not let somebody who goes to university tell us otherwise.— tell us otherwise. ambassador diann black-layne. — tell us otherwise. ambassador diann black- layne, thank _ tell us otherwise. ambassador diann black-layne, thank you _ tell us otherwise. ambassador diann black-layne, thank you very - tell us otherwise. ambassador diann black-layne, thank you very much i tell us otherwise. ambassador diannl black-layne, thank you very much for black—layne, thank you very much for being with us on bbc news. ambassador diann black—layne is the lead climate negotiator for the

alliance of small island states, and i hope we will be hearing from her again in the run—up to the conference of parties taking place in glasgow later this year. 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. the bbc�*s syed anwar, who is in the afghan capital kabul, gave us an update on the situation: well, the afghan government's saying they are preparing to launch again attacks in those provinces where taliban captured areas, to the military commander in north of afghanistan told the bbc that they are preparing to launch an attack to capture the capital city. which fell to the taliban yesterday.

today, taliban entered the capital of a province, the governor told the bbc that taliban entered the city and fighting is ongoing. taliban are saying they are advancing in some areas. today, there were reports of fighting in the area of a province, but afghan forces in this area say they have pushed back taliban to another area. the situation is expanding in some other provinces and heavy clashes are ongoing in different areas. the president told afghans last week he and his government had a six—month strategy for repelling the taliban. how has that gone down with afghans, who you have spoken to, given the speed with which the taliban appear to be advancing? more detail is not emerging

from the six—month strategy of the afghan president and other high—ranking officials are repeatedly saying they have six months plan and they will recapture the areas where now taliban are present. one, apparently, one of the points of the strategy is to increase air strikes on taliban in some areas, the air strikes was apparently useful, for example in kandahar in helmand province, where now the afghan army commander says they pushed back taliban, but more detail is not clear yet what is in the six month strategy, but afghan army officers, commanders and political leaders are saying they have plans, and in six months, afghan people will see a change many ground situation in afghanistan.

well, that is something to hope for but i guess it feels a long way off for a lot of people. is there any sign of, for example, of civilians trying to leave kabul? no, from kabul, there is no sign of civilians leaving kabul, but in those provinces where fighting is ongoing, civilians are displacing in a big number and civilian are also increasing. unicef today says that in the past 72 hours, around 27 children killed and more than 130 children wounded, civilians and children are suffering in those areas, where fightings are ongoing

and they are facing a huge number of displacement in war zones. campaigners, fighting to save an alpaca from being put down, have marched on downing street this afternoon to lobby for a reprieve. the government says geronimo must be culled because he's twice tested positive for bovine tb, which is a risk to cattle. andrew plant reports. she has been fighting to keep her alpaca alive for four years. now, geronimo's story has started making headlines, after the courts ruled he could be put down any time in the next four weeks. how are you feeling about all the support you've had? oh, just immense. it's keeping me going. this is an animal injustice. what are you going to do if people turn up at your gates? i'm not going to break the law, but i won't be making it easy. i'm not going to be helping them to kill an animal that doesn't need to be killed. bovine tb is a common issue for uk farmers — around 40,000 cows are killed after positive tests each year. helen thinks geronimo's tests were flawed, and is calling

on the government to take another look. i think that this alpaca gives us a chance to put btb testing under the microscope in the uk. we have long been worried about its accuracy, its ability to give false positives and also false negatives as well. the impact goes far beyond alpacas. this has a significant impact for british farming, too. the environment secretary george eustice has said geronimo's tests were reliable. downing street also expressed its sympathy but said everything possible needed to be done to fight bovine tb. no test is absolutely perfect. no test is absolutely 100% sensitive or 100% specific. j so defra have to work on the big numbers, and they make policyi based on the big numbers, . and decisions based on those big numbers, whereas, - for the individual, of course, you are always hoping that your |animal is one of the one or 2%,j 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. now, we have talked all afternoon about team gb athletes returning from tokyo in tryon. one of them who came back a little earlier but spoke to me this afternoon is anna hopkin. anna was one of the gold—medal winning with the 4x100 metre medley relay, and she told me what her experience have been like. it has been amazing, yeah. when we landed in london, we had family and friends greet us, and media and press conferences, and everyone i've spoken to since has just been so amazing and supporting, said they

was created in the stadiums or in the village. it still felt like an olympics, and it almost brought all the athletes together more, i think. i think hearing that will really cheer people in tokyo, because they worried obviously about the health risk, but they worried whether this would be a games that everybody wanted to forget, but you don't think that will be the case? he. wanted to forget, but you don't think that will be the case? no, and i think it is think that will be the case? no, and i think it is and — think that will be the case? no, and i think it is and made _ think that will be the case? no, and i think it is and made it _ think that will be the case? no, and i think it is and made it more - i think it is and made it more special. i think athletes have come closer together. special. i think athletes have come closertogether. i special. i think athletes have come closer together. i know the british swimming team is closer for it, closer together. i know the british swimming team is closerfor it, i think. ithink swimming team is closerfor it, i think. i think people watching back home may be more engaged with it, because nobody could be out there spectating, and i think all media has done a greatjob of kind of bringing it to the uk and other countries in the world so that people can watch from home. i’m countries in the world so that people can watch from home. i'm glad to have that — people can watch from home. i'm glad to have that as — people can watch from home. i'm glad to have that as well _ people can watch from home. i'm glad to have that as well that _ people can watch from home. i'm glad to have that as well that you _ people can watch from home. i'm glad to have that as well that you felt - to have that as well that you felt that people were involved, i certainly got a sense that people were watching very enthusiastic, and really impressed by your effort, your team's effort, and the other olympians who took part, those who won and those who didn't. because you have kind of represented the country so well. but the other thing

i wondered is whether, from your point of view out there, in some ways, in a weird sort of way, it was a bit easier, and for a sense, for yourfamily and friends, a bit easier, and for a sense, for your family and friends, a a bit easier, and for a sense, for yourfamily and friends, a bit harder, because they would normally be with you, waving a flag, cheering you from the sidelines, catching your eye just before you jumped into the pool and all of that, and they had to kind of sit at home, kind of isolated from it all?— isolated from it all? yeah, i think it was quite _ isolated from it all? yeah, i think it was quite hard _ isolated from it all? yeah, i think it was quite hard for— isolated from it all? yeah, i think it was quite hard for them, - isolated from it all? yeah, i think it was quite hard for them, and l isolated from it all? yeah, i think. it was quite hard for them, and they definitely would have been out there watching if they could have been, they followed me all over the world throughout myjourney. but they came together with other family and friends to watch it on tv, and they decorated the house, and created a real atmosphere, and so that is potentially something they wouldn't have been able to do if they were out there, sharing it with more family and friends. so they made the most of it, and honestly it would have been nice to celebrate out there with them, but it's been nigh since i've been back. we've done a lot of celebrating. find since i've been back. we've done a lot of celebrating.— lot of celebrating. and i hope it's not over yet- _

tower bridge normally opens around 800 times a year. and it generally shuts again. now the weather. hello. we are seeing some more heavy, thundery showers breaking out today, in particular across parts of scotland, northern ireland, southern england, too. some showers elsewhere developing and some sunshine around as well, and the winds are not as strong today. temperatures are not quite as high as they would normally be at this time of the year. we have still got these heavy, thundery downpours into this evening. they will gradually fade away overnight and we will see some clearer spells developing. a little bit of mistiness here and there, and temperatures are likely to remain in double figures overnight. typically 12 or 13c in towns and cities. tomorrow looks like it is going to be a drier day for more of the country. we're going to have more sunshine around as well. can't rule out one or two showers across wales, some eastern parts of england. most of the showers will be further north in scotland this time, some heavy ones here, but a drier day through central and southern scotland. it will tend to cloud over a bit more in the afternoon

for northern ireland. but a warmer day with light winds. we are looking at top temperatures of 22 or even 23c. this is bbc news. the headlines: a warning of a "code red for humanity" by the united nations. a report — described as a major wake—up call — says carbon emissions have warmed the climate in every part of the world. borisjohnson said the report "makes for sobering reading". labour is demanding more government action now. it is not the kind outside the problem now, it is claimed and it is, does not accept there it's a problem but not going quickly enough and the panic that in that category. and the panic that in that category. there are sound bites but not enough action. it comes as people are forced leave their homes in parts of greece and in california, where wildfires are continuing to burn out of control.

no more social distancing — almost all coronavirus restrictions
