the foreign secretary, dominic raab, will be questioned today about britain's withdrawal from afghanistan by mps on the commons�* foreign affairs committee. both mr raab and the foreign office have faced criticism of their handling of the evacuation. last night in a national address, president biden defended his decision to withdraw troops from afghanistan. he also said that the united states will no longer look to "remake other countries". it comes as the uk government says it is in talks with the taliban to secure a way out of afghanistan for british nationals and afghans who worked with allied forces and remain there. it's thought up to 250 people eligible for relocation — plus their families — remain in the country. meanwhile, the home office has announced that afghans who worked with the british government and military will be allowed to move to the uk permanently. those eligible will be given indefinite leave to remain, rather than the five years�* residency previously

offered. with the first of today's reports, here's our political correspondent jonathan blake. now uk and us forces have left, and the taliban are clearly showing themselves to be in control, there is deep concern for british citizens and eligible afghans left behind. last night, downing street confirmed sir simon gask, the prime minister's special representative for afghan transition had arrived in doha to meet senior taliban representatives. he will underline the importance of safe passage out of afghanistan for british nationals and afghans who have worked with the uk. the taliban need things, they are running a sophisticated country, they know they can't run this country without help. if the taliban are going to run

a country and hold onto power as they want to do, they are going to have to engage as well, so we have some cards. the uk has evacuated more than 15,000 people, since mid—august. 8,000 of those, under the afghan relocations and assistance policy, set up to allow interpreters and others who have worked with the uk to come here. today, the government announced they will be allowed to live in the uk permanently, instead of five years�* temporary residency offered before. so far, 2,000 people have been placed in homes, but many more are yet to get permanent accommodation. there is a challenge because these are larger families and councils and housing associations will need to find family—sized homes. we are working very closely with them, ensuring that this is a fully—funded package for them, and we have announced an additional £5 million scheme to help them to find those large properties, as quickly as possible. the foreign office has sent crisis response staff to neighbouring countries to help afghans trying to reach the uk. talking to the taliban may also be necessary,

but the government will be keen to do it without lending afghanistan�*s new rulers too much legitimacy. we talk now to our chief political correspondent, adam fleming at westminster. talks between the uk that taliban to try to get safe passage for afghan and british nationals, the government keeps referring to using all the levers available to it, but do they give any sense of how quickly they hope these talks might bear fruit? know, ve few these talks might bear fruit? know, very few details _ these talks might bear fruit? know, very few details about _ these talks might bear fruit? know, very few details about these - these talks might bear fruit? know, very few details about these talks, l very few details about these talks, which are happening quite under the radar. we know is that it is the prime minister�*s special envoy for the afghan transition, a senior diplomat, who is conducting these discussions with the taliban representatives. we do not know exactly who, but all we know is they are happening in doha come where several eu foreign ministers are also there, for discussions. if you look at the statement from downing

street confirming these talks last night, they say that sir simon is there to undermine the importance of safe passage, so it could be that he is there to just reinforce how much the uk wants it, rather than to actually pin down logistical details of particular roots, with the taliban representatives. although, let�*s see. the fact is this is quite a delicate piece of diplomacy because the uk wants something from the taliban, but they do not want to just bestow them with too much legitimacyjust just bestow them with too much legitimacy just yet. just bestow them with too much legitimacyjust yet. the delicacy of the diplomacy was summed up by the home office minister this morning by talking about the operation, warm welcome, which is the uk�*s operation to welcome people from afghanistan. this is a great debate for the western_ this is a great debate for the western world, to be handled very carefullx — western world, to be handled very carefully. as i say, we want to ensure — carefully. as i say, we want to ensure the _ carefully. as i say, we want to ensure the safety of people within afghanistan. we are announcing today the launch_ afghanistan. we are announcing today the launch of operation warm

mistakes, so it would be interesting to see if he has more of a team play in front of the mps today. {lilia to see if he has more of a team play in front of the mps today. 0k, adam, ou will be in front of the mps today. 0k, adam, you will be watching _ in front of the mps today. 0k, adam, you will be watching very _ in front of the mps today. 0k, adam, you will be watching very closely. - you will be watching very closely. thank you very much. meanwhile, the bbc understands that uk officials instructed afghans to go to the abbey gate entrance of kabul airport — just hours before thursday�*s suicide bombing there. emails seen by newsnight show that the british embassy told people to "use the abbey gate entrance, near to the baron hotel", even though the uk and us deemed a threat to the airport to be imminent. almost 200 people were killed in the explosion, including two uk citizens. the uk government said it was investigating the emails. president biden has defended his decision to withdraw us troops from afghanistan — calling the evacuation effort an "extraordinary success". in his first speech since the end of the 20—year war in the country, mr biden insisted the united states had achieved everything it set out to do. but his approach has faced criticism, as our north america correspondent peter bowes reports.

the spoils of war, american military hardware in the hands of the taliban. hangers are full of us helicopters, decommissioned and dismantled so the enemy can�*t use them, but a potent symbol of america�*s defeat and the rise of the taliban. but was it a defeat or a calculated withdrawal, by us president, determined to draw a line under two decades of war? at the white house, joe biden praised the actions of us troops in helping to evacuate more than 120,000 people from kabul in recent weeks. the extraordinary success of this mission was due to the incredible skill, bravery and selfless courage of the united states military and our diplomats and intelligence professionals. for weeks, they risked their lives to get american citizens, afghans who helped us, citizens of our allies and partners and others,

on board planes and out of the country. but this was a president on the defensive. widely criticised for the way and apparent haste with which america withdrew from afghanistan, leaving some us citizens behind. biden insisted he was right to end the forever war and not to extend what he calls the forever exit. he laid the blame, in part, on donald trump, for doing a deal with the taliban, but also, with afghan government forces. the assumption was that more than 300,000 afghan national security forces that we had trained over the past two decades and equipped would be a strong anniversary in the civil wars with the taliban. that assumption, that the afghan government would be able to hold on, for a period of time beyond military drawdown, turned out not to be accurate. mr biden insisted america was my only interest was in making

sure afghanistan is never used again to launch an attack like 911 on the united states. but he said he refused to send another generation of america�*s sons and daughters to fight a war. it was, he said, time to look to the future after 20 years of pain and sacrifice. let�*s find out more about the huge community effort that�*s going on to gather donations for people arriving in the uk from afghanistan. fahim zazai runs the afghan community and welfare centre in walsall in the west midlands and has been helping to organise donations there. he arrived in the uk from afghanistan more than 20 years ago having fled the taliban. fahim, thank you so much forjoining us on bbc news. and tell me, first of all, what has the response being to the appeal for donations in your area? it to the appeal for donations in your area? . . . to the appeal for donations in your area? . , , ., , to the appeal for donations in your area? , ., , area? it has been really positive. i sense that — area? it has been really positive. i sense that what _ area? it has been really positive. i sense that what has _ area? it has been really positive. i sense that what has been - area? it has been really positive. i l sense that what has been happening in afghanistan has been really hard

correspondent, matt mcgrath. as the slow—moving hurricane ida pummelled louisiana in recent days, it caused catastrophic damage and left millions without power. weather—related disasters like hurricane ida have increased in number in recent decades, according to the wmo. the scientists say the rise has been influenced by climate change, as humans have continued to warm the planet through the use of fossil fuels. in germany and belgium earlier this summer, torrential rain saw towns and villages rapidly flooded, sweeping away lives and homes in seconds. almost half of all the deaths that have the last 50 years have been due to water and climate—related hazards, say experts. the economic impact has also grown far more severe, with damages from weather—related events now costing more than seven times what they did in the 1970s.

but despite the increase in hazards and their power, the good news is that the number of people being killed by storms, floods and droughts has decreased significantly. it is down by two thirds over the past five decades. the wmo says this is due to improvements in early warning systems, that give people more time to move away from danger. however, much work remains to be done, as only half the world�*s countries currently have adequate warning networks in place. we discuss this further now. simon lewis is professor of global change science at university college london. thank you forjoining us on bbc news today. so the world meet a logical organisation is saying that we are better than ever before at saving lives, but the number of weather climates and water extremes are increasing and will become more frequent and severe in many parts of the world, as a result of climate change. what do you take from this

actually hampering the ability of developing nations to firstly eradicate poverty and also to meet sustainability goals, which of course, this to meet sustainability goals, is leading to these events, so you get that vicious cycle. what more can the international community do, you think, to support developing nations on this? the do, you think, to support developing nations on this?— nations on this? the really important _ nations on this? the really important moment - nations on this? the really important moment is - nations on this? the really important moment is a - nations on this? the really - important moment is a november, nations on this? the really _ important moment is a november, in glasgow, the uk is hosting a pivotal international climate talk and is one of the parts of those talks is making sure that there are financing options available from the countries that cause the problems, all of all of this carbon pollution, and that money from those countries goes to these very poor nations, to make sure that they cant do two things, firstly to adapt, have these early warning systems, build their resilience, build the capacity to withstand these increasing climate impacts and secondly to help those

countries overcome the fossil fuel age and move to strict renewable power and other sources of energy, rather than relying on fossilfuels. we must remember in the big picture, but these weather—related events are going to get worse over time. they are going to continue to get worse over time until carbon emissions get down to zero. over time until carbon emissions get down to zero-— down to zero. yes, on that point, countries — down to zero. yes, on that point, countries and _ down to zero. yes, on that point, countries and companies - countries and companies enthusiastically and publicly signing up to ten net zero goals, but what is that really going to entail? we have words, but in practice, what is like going to entail? dare we hope that climate change can be brought under control? i personally believe that climate change can be brought under control because people, if you look at service, people are really concerned about the issue, and the technology exists to move us towards net zero.

there is a problem with all of these declarations, that companies and countries often putting declarations of 24th or 2015 or 2060 —— countries often putting declarations of 24th or 2015 or 2060 -- 2050, 2040, and the united nations says that we need to have global emissions this decade, and to do that, companies and governments need plans in the here and there now, over the next few years, to slash emissions and then get them down to zero in the decades to come. the short term action is really important to put us on the path to net zero. ., ,,., , important to put us on the path to net zero. ., , , ., ,, i. net zero. professor lewis, thank you ve much net zero. professor lewis, thank you very much to — net zero. professor lewis, thank you very much to join — net zero. professor lewis, thank you very much to join us _ net zero. professor lewis, thank you very much to join us today. - very much to join us today. professor simon lewis, professor of global change science at university couege global change science at university college london. thank you. an expensive but "game—changing" anti—cholesterol drug could soon be offered to hundreds of thousands of people in england and wales on the nhs. it normally costs nearly £2,000 per dose, but the manufacturer has agreed

an undisclosed discount for the health service. nhs england says the treatment could save about 30,000 lives within a decade. 0ur health correspondent michelle roberts has more. heart attacks and stroke are among the most common causes of death and ill health in the uk and high cholesterol is up one of the main risk factors. too much bad fat in the blood can clog your arteries. while eating a healthy diet and getting enough exercise can help keep cholesterol down, some people need medication too. cheap tablets called statins work for many, but not all. people in england and wales could soon be offered a new type of treatment on the nhs. it is called inclisiran and it�*s a cholesterol—busting injection given twice a year. it can lower bad fat in the blood when other drugs like statins have not done enough. there is a huge unmet need, high cholesterol levels and even

in some cases, there are people who are just very vulnerable to even modest levels of cholesterol and it�*s a silent killer. so being able to lower that and bring levels down close to the levels that we are actually born with, conveniently and safely is a complete game—changer. nhs england says the treatment could save about 30,000 lives within a decade. the health watchdog nice is recommending it as an option for people who have already had a stroke or heart attack and are not responding to other cholesterol—lowering treatments. nice says a ground—breaking deal has been met with the manufacturer to make it affordable for the nhs. its use is already approved in scotland. michelle roberts, bbc news. the australian state of victoria will stay in lockdown until 70% of the population has had at least one dose of a covid—19 vaccine. the premier hopes that will happen by the 23rd of september. most of the state is currently in strict lockdown, with tougher

measures including a nightime curfew in place around greater melbourne. victoria recently reported 121 new cases — the highest single day total in the state for more than a year. now it�*s time for a look at the weather with carol. hi, carol, and i�*m wondering, iwoke up hi, carol, and i�*m wondering, iwoke up to another gloomy, grey day today, as it is in london, but it might be brighter elsewhere. will we see sunshine soon? some of us definitely, in scotland for example just now, it is beautiful! the sun is already out, but for many of us as you rightly say, it is going be another cloudy day and that cloud is thick enough for some spots of light patchy rain and some drizzle, especially in the east and south—east. it will brighten up today, also across northern england and the north and east of northern ireland, also seeing some sunshine. temperatures of about 13—19 , with the sunshine in scotland, we could reach 21 or 22. through this evening

and overnight, we see a return to all this cloud, thick enough for some dampness, still breezy along the north, and along the english channel, and when we do have some breaks in the cloud, in the highlands for example, temperatures could fall away, but for most of us, we are going to stay in double figures. as we head into tomorrow, it is a bit more of the same, a lot of clouds around, still breezy through the english channel, that cloud is thick and a fulsome patchy, like rain or drizzle, and a bit of sunshine and western areas, but particularly so in scotland. hello, this is bbc news. the headlines: discussions between the uk and the taliban are under way to help more british nationals and refugees leave afg ha nista n safely. us presidentjoe biden defends his decision to withdraw us troops from afghanistan, insisting that staying was not an option.

a new type of petrol has been introduced at petrol stations across the uk. british officials say the move could cut carbon emissions by 750,000 tonnes a year. described as a game changer, the new anti—cholesterol drug which could save up to 30,000 lives within a decade soon to be offered on the nhs. after 18 months of delays, james bond is back. the final trailer for no time to die has made its debut, with the film set to hit cinemas later this month. sport and for a full round up, from the bbc sport centre, here�*s katherine downes. some more really good paralympics news. a slightly quieter day for paralympics gb out in tokyo. it�*s day eight of the paralympics in toyko. let�*s catch up on all action. 0ur reporter rachel laytham is there for us this morning.

two bronze medals so far for paralympics gb today — in the archery and the table tennis but gold hopes at the moment in the boccia? it's it�*s very tense there, isn�*t it? it's very tense there, isn't it? it is, yes. let's start with the is, yes. let�*s start with the archery. victoria rumary picked up a bronze medal this morning. she had three games, went in the quarterfinal, the semifinal and then won the bronze in the bronze medal match. it was her paralympic debut. she used to compete in able—bodied archery and then acquired her disability after surgery for epilepsy and now has moved into wheelchair archery. she says she will carry on until paris when she told me she was hoped to upgrade her bronze medal. that bronze medal also came in the team table tennis and there was a near miss in the boccia this morning. scott mcgowan lost in his boccia match. he will be playing again tomorrow, though, with his

brother, jamie and scott on the same team for great britain in the team boccia tomorrow morning. id�*d’tfid team for great britain in the team boccia tomorrow morning. david smith 'ust ttoin in boccia tomorrow morning. david smith just going in his— boccia tomorrow morning. david smith just going in his final _ boccia tomorrow morning. david smith just going in his final as _ boccia tomorrow morning. david smith just going in his final as well, - boccia tomorrow morning. david smith just going in his final as well, his - just going in his final as well, his gold—medal match in the boccia, the world number one, and there could be a good chance for another gold later on for becky redfern in the swimming. she won her heat overnight, didn�*t she quiz make a real prospect there paralympics gb. yes, so, at the moment in the boccia, it is too high for to the malaysia competitor, however, david smith is the paralympic champion, so he will be fighting back for that gold—medal in that match and, as you said about the swimming, rebecca redfern won a silver in the 100 metres breaststroke in 2016 at the paralympics. she then picked up a gold at the world championships. she had a baby last year and has come back to the sports and will be hoping to get a gold in that final this evening.

hoping to get a gold in that final this evening-— hoping to get a gold in that final this evenint. .. . ~' ,, ,., this evening. rachel, thank you so much. this evening. rachel, thank you so much- day — this evening. rachel, thank you so much- day eight — this evening. rachel, thank you so much. day eight of— this evening. rachel, thank you so much. day eight of the _ this evening. rachel, thank you so i much. day eight of the paralympics, we will see you later on in the day for an update from the swimming and, of course, from david smith in that gold—medal match in the boccia. currently 2—1 down, the paralympic champion. emma raducanu�*s fairy tale year continues as she booked her place in the second round of the us open with a straight sets victory over switzerland�*s stefanie vogele. this was raducanu�*s debut at flushing meadows and she showed her talent and maturity throughout, just as she did at wimbledon earlier in the summer. the 18 year old won 6—2, 6—3 against her experienced opponent and will face china�*s zhang shuai in the next round. but katie boulter is out. she was beaten in straight sets 6—3, 6—2 by russia�*s ludmilla samsonova. it was was also her first appearance in the main draw of a us open after making it through qualifying. novak djokovic�*s bid to win all four grand slams in a calendar year continues.

but it wasn�*t completely plain sailing for the world number one. he lost the second set tie breaker against holger rune before the danish teenager suffered cramp and djokovic comfortably won the next two sets to advance to the second round. despite a very poor start to the season, arsenal have had a busy transfer window. rounding their signings off on transfer deadline day by bringing in the japanese defender takehiro tomiyasu from bologna for a fee in the region of £17 million. they also let right—back hector bellerin joined the spanish side real betis and winger reiss nelson complete a move to dutch side feyenoord — both on loan. france forward antoine griezmann has left barcelona to rejoin atletico madrid on a season—long loan deal. atletico will take on griezmann�*s salary and there is a compulsory clause to make the transfer permanent. he returns to atletico two years after he joined barca for £107 million.

seems like a lot of money gone wasted there. that�*s all the sport for now. it�*s back—to—school time for children in england, wales and northern ireland this week, a fortnight after their scottish counterparts returned to the classroom. but with a rise in covid cases in scotland being linked to students going back, tim muffett�*s been finding out what measures schools are taking to protect their pupils. an unconventional start to an academic year. skinners school in tunbridge wells, where like hundreds of thousands of others, students are taking lateral—flow tests before lessons begin. i�*m really excited, because it�*s been for a while like masks and not being able to hang out with other classes. not having to wear masks between class and stuff is a big step in the right direction i think. we have had like games cancelled and things like that, so it's hard, i

but now that we are back - and we are tested it is easier to enjoy those things again. the education system has faced enormous disruption because of covid. whole year groups have been sent home after one positive case, but this term it�*s only the pupil who tests positive who definitely needs to self—isolate. those specifically identified as close contacts will be asked to take a test. if it�*s negative, self—isolation won�*t be necessary. i�*m sure there will be a problem at some stage when the flu season hits and covid is still around and i do expect at some stage we will have to make contingency arrangements, but i�*m hopeful we can get through the whole year with a nearly full curriculum, everyone doing everything and it feel like a normal school. in england, wales and northern ireland, strict rules over facemasks and social distancing have been relaxed. schools have much more power to decide which rules to keep. in scotland, where schools re—opened in mid—august, most rules are staying in place

for at least six weeks. i don't really mind, i mean i would rather social distance and wear a mask than having to sit in the house. i'm going to find it kind of tricky, but i might get used _ to it after a few days. you�*ve to wear a mask every day and i�*m not too bothered about it, because it keeps people safe. we'll be sanitising on entry and exit to the building and classrooms there will be hand cleaning. 0n the positive there will be changes to the bubbles which will allow pupils to mix more freely. so different abroaches in different parts of the uk. around 300,000 carbon dioxide monitors are to be made available to schools in england to try and improve ventilation. a build up of c02 could mean that fresh air is failing to circulate and action is needed. but some unions are critical of the way the return to school in england is being handled. i do not understand why really sensible safety precautions however were stopped.

covid hasn�*t gone away. the virus is more, much more infectious in the community now than it was at this time last year. covid has upended the way schools operate. staff, students and parents can only hope that this term brings normality back to the classroom. tim muffett, bbc news. activists at a facility in cambridgeshire, which breeds and sells beagles for medical research, have vowed to stay put until the site is forced to close. 15 protestors have been arrested since setting up camp outside the main entrance of mbr acres more than two months ago. last week the us firm was granted a court order preventing the harassment of its staff. jon ironmonger reports. is this england�*s most controversial farm ? mbr acres in huntingdon legally breeds beagles for medical research, but for more than two months, it�*s been blockaded by animal—rights

activists after this secret filming was shared online of puppies being crated up and sent to contract testing laboratories. it shows no evidence of mistreatment. polly has been sleeping here on the roadside since day one. i said to everybody, i�*m staying over, i�*m staying over. so i went home and got my van. and in the meantime, two vans went in to the puppies, so after that, every day built up to a week and then another week and then a month. it�*s a cause. we can�*t take vivisection. the beagles are marketed as germ—free and are reared entirely in large sheds. none of the workers we saw were prepared to talk to us. protesters say they have the support of the local community, but evidently, not everyone. do you know, yeah, my dad started work at six o'clock one night last week and he actually got home at one o'clock in the afternoon because they were not allowed out of this place? hang on, hang on...

listen, you bleep... this dispute was eventually resolved. at the end of the day, a police officer tried to persuade protesters to stand back from the gates. you are potentially. committing offences, obstruction of the highway... that�*s trivialising protest. but as usual, he�*s been unsuccessful. well, this commotion at the main entrance has become a daily occurrence. there are around 20 police officers here who have arrived to try and safely escort workers who have come to the end of their shift off the site, but activists say that the police tactics are becoming increasingly heavy—handed. chanting: shame, . shame, shame on you. cambridge police say their response is proportionate. increasingly, we are getting support from scientists who are saying the kind of research done on these dogs, toxicity experiments, are not predictive for outcomes in human beings. there�*s that issue. there�*s the issue, obviously, of what happens to these dogs. they do suffer. you cannot escape that. and i think for reasons of science and also public morality, it is really time this trade in dogs

was brought to an end. now mbr is hitting back. the us—based company has won an interim order at the high court preventing harassment of its workers. in a statement, a spokesperson told us... the home secretary is overseeing a crackdown on disruptive protests but is said to have been shocked by this footage of mbr acres and yesterday in london camp beagle brought their fight to her doorstep. nearly one in three of the world�*s tree species are facing extinction in the wild. according to a report published by conservationists, oaks, maples and magnolias are among those at risk. the threatened list includes the menai whitebeam. there are only 30 of them in north wales.

let�*s speak to paul smith, secretary general of botanic gardens conservation international. hejoins me from carmarthenshire. thank you very much forjoining us to talk about this worrying reports. we are talking about tree species in the wild and i am just thinking of an interview i did a little earlier this ourfrom the an interview i did a little earlier this our from the world meteorological organisation, their reports on whether extremes, disasters brought about like climate change, and obviously that is a contributing factor, isn�*t it? yes. contributing factor, isn't it? yes, and we are _ contributing factor, isn't it? yes, and we are certainly _ contributing factor, isn't it? yes, and we are certainly seeing - contributing factor, isn't it? is: and we are certainly seeing this more and more, for example, in tropical islands, heavy storms, rising sea levels, but mainly it�*s our other activities, including clearing for agriculture for forestry, for urban conurbations and so one and, of course, we are displacing trees in doing that. shift! displacing trees in doing that. and here in the uk, _ displacing trees in doing that. and here in the uk, can you give us a sense of the species most under threat and what is being done to counteract this?—

threat and what is being done to counteract this? well, i think the examle counteract this? well, i think the example we _ counteract this? well, i think the example we have _ counteract this? well, i think the example we have given _ counteract this? well, i think the example we have given is - counteract this? well, i think the example we have given is the - counteract this? well, i think the i example we have given is the menai whitebeam which is down to about 30 individuals and their are actually around 440 species around the world that we know are down to fewer then 50 individuals left in the world, so what we do about that in the first case, obviously, is to protect those that remain and make sure no more are cut down or lost and then we can augment those and add to those populations by reintroducing, growing them in nurseries and botanic gardens and so on and reintroducing trees back into the world. but it is really important that local communities look after their own species, that is the most important thing. if their own species, that is the most important thing-— their own species, that is the most important thing. if someone was to sa to important thing. if someone was to say to you. — important thing. if someone was to say to you. how— important thing. if someone was to say to you, how does _ important thing. if someone was to say to you, how does this - important thing. if someone was to say to you, how does this impact i important thing. if someone was to l say to you, how does this impact the average person, what would your response be, paul? fine average person, what would your response be, paul?— average person, what would your response be, paul? one of the things the re ort response be, paul? one of the things the report shows _ response be, paul? one of the things the report shows is _ response be, paul? one of the things the report shows is that _ response be, paul? one of the things the report shows is that one - response be, paul? one of the things the report shows is that one in - response be, paul? one of the things the report shows is that one in five i the report shows is that one in five of the street species is used by people for medicines, foods and so on and that is not counting firewood, so this is in our

interests, but there are also knock—on. if you take our english oak here, 2300 other species of mammals, birds, insects and so one live and depend on the 0aktree and if the 0aktree goes, then they go as well and that will have a knock—on for us in terms of the impacts that those have on the environment, many of them beneficial, species that help us out, so there is really a domino effect here if you lose a really charismatic and important species like a tree. {lila really charismatic and important species like a tree.— really charismatic and important species like a tree. ok, so we are talkint species like a tree. ok, so we are talking about _ species like a tree. ok, so we are talking about the _ species like a tree. ok, so we are talking about the impact - species like a tree. ok, so we are talking about the impact on - talking about the impact on biodiversity here and are there more trees in the world than there were 40, 50 years trees in the world than there were 40,50 years ago? i know we are talking here about the threat to particular species but are there more trees overall or are we seeing the impacts of deforestation and so on having a negative impact on

working with broader society and communities to make that happen. paul smith, thank you very much, secretary—general of botanics gardens conservation international. a new type of petrol is being rolled out across forecourts in britain today. it�*s called e10. the government says it�*ll be more environmentally friendly but it won�*t be compatible with over half a million older vehicles. alice baxter can tell us more. a lot of people don�*t even know about this new type of fuel, do they? about this new type of fuel, do the ? ~ , ,., , about this new type of fuel, do the ? , about this new type of fuel, do the ? r , ., they? absolutely right, good morning to ou. bi they? absolutely right, good morning to you- big news _ they? absolutely right, good morning to you. big news today. _ they? absolutely right, good morning to you. big news today. for— they? absolutely right, good morning to you. big news today. for anyone i to you. big news today. for anyone out there who owns a petrol car, from today, the standard fuel used to fill up with at the pump is changing from something called e5 to something more equalfriendly changing from something called e5 to something more equal friendly cold e10 and, as you say, rather worryingly, according to the rac, more than a quarter of us out there do not know about this change and we also do not know if our cars are compatible with these new equal

well, you live long enough. after a year in which the pandemic sent the box office into a tail spin with billions of dollars lost and after that top gun tom cruise�*s well publicised summer trip to see tenet proved somewhat of a false start, could no time to die be the blockbuster that really brings us back to the big screen? the release may also help bolster the box office in its battle with the home sofa. even though amazon�*s takeover of mgm, the hollywood studio behind bond, has led some to speculate future releases like this may be fast—tracked to the small screen. that�*s a sore point for actors who profit from box office bonuses, including black widow actress scarlettjohansson, who�*s currently in a battle with the walt disney company — unhappy they premiered her film on its streaming service

at the same time as in cinemas. well, i understand double—0s have a very short life expectancy. but every actor who has played bond so far has made it safely on to the big screen. all eight of them, in fact — sean connery, roger moore, timothy dalton and pierce brosnan and in the �*60s, george lazenby and david niven, not to forget the first bond in the �*50s, barry nelson, he was in casino royale. so who is odds on to take overfrom daniel craig? is it that bloke from bridgerton, marvel�*s kung fu master, or the man who played superman? but this bond has to survive a number of plot twists first. james. you don't know what this is. if he does finally find his way to the big screen, we will all find out. the name�*s lobel,

want to see how daniel craig is going to put a bow on his extraordinary achievements as bond and i reckon, yes, this will be the one that will get every man and his uncle and aunt going to see this movie. �* uncle and aunt going to see this movie. . ., ,., ., , , ., movie. and how important is this for cinema chains? _ movie. and how important is this for cinema chains? try _ movie. and how important is this for cinema chains? try and _ movie. and how important is this for cinema chains? try and that - movie. and how important is this for cinema chains? try and that in i cinema chains? try and that in context for us, based on, i guess, a patchy return to the cinema since people have been able to do that. it people have been able to do that. it is a tricky thing because different international markets matter more and more. china and america and different numbers of cinemas are open here, there and everywhere. in terms of britain alone, we might look at this as being a really great opportunity for people to come back to cinemas, but you need to look at the box office worldwide and so many different cinema chains just are not open right now or certain legal requirements across the globe are limiting theatre access. it is a very big deal, so many box office returns this year have been lower, much lower than expected and tenet did not do as well as people hope. if cinemas are still trying to offer

customers reassurance by offering social distancing, are we likely to see many more screenings of this movie? i see many more screenings of this movie? ., ., . ., movie? i would imagine, come the end of september— movie? i would imagine, come the end of september here _ movie? i would imagine, come the end of september here in _ movie? i would imagine, come the end of september here in the _ movie? i would imagine, come the end of september here in the uk _ movie? i would imagine, come the end of september here in the uk or - movie? i would imagine, come the end of september here in the uk or early i of september here in the uk or early october in the us, the cinemas will be putting out pretty much this film in all of their screens because it will be such a big deal. it is such a long time coming and it is that big crowd pleaser we have been waiting for. i pleaser we have been waiting for. i thought on the end of mark's report, thought on the end of mark�*s report, as one james bond comes to the end of his career, there is always a huge amount of interest in who is going to follow on. who do you think it might be? it is going to follow on. who do you think it might be?— it might be? it is so hard to say and to guess — it might be? it is so hard to say and to guess now— it might be? it is so hard to say and to guess now would - it might be? it is so hard to say and to guess now would be i it might be? it is so hard to say and to guess now would be a i it might be? it is so hard to say. and to guess now would be a flat it might be? it is so hard to say i and to guess now would be a flat out guess but i think henry cavill feels like a nice guess this bet. maybe this is his time.— this is his time. thank you very much. now it�*s time for a look at the weather with carol. fairly cloudy for many of us again

today, that cloud thick enough for some patchy light rain or drizzle especially in the east. here, too, it is quite breezy down the north sea coastline as well as to the ingot channel, but already we have some training parts of scotland and also northern ireland and we will see more sunshine developing across northern england as we go through the day with some fleeting rumours of sunshine across southern areas. temperatures ranging from 13 to 19 degrees, but in the sunshine, we could get up to 21 or 22 degrees. as we head on through the evening and overnight, we see a return to a lot of clouds, still thick enough sauce and patchy light rain or drizzle but under clear skies, temperature sheltered glens in particular will fall away, possibly as low as 5 degrees, but for most of us, we will stay in double figures. then as we head into tomorrow, a bit more of the same, still a fair bit of cloud around, some drizzle, brighter skies in the north and parts of the west.
