two new streams of lava threaten further destruction from the erupting volcano. hello and welcome to the programme. tens of thousands of women's rights advocates have been holding demonstrations across the us. they're opposed to a new law in texas that severely limits access to abortions in the state. there are also wider fears the supreme court may soon rule abortions nationwide are illegal. our correspondent barbara plett—usher reports from washington. roe versus wade has got to stay, ho—ho! hey—hey! activists are sounding the alarm. this is the moment when abortion rights face their most significant challenge in nearly half a century

from conservative lawmakers and judges. i am very worried. i think it's time for a course correction. we have been doing this for more than 50 years. now we're back here again and it'sjust like, when is this going to end, you know? but they are going to keep putting out attacks and we are going to keep fighting them. nobody wakes up in the morning and decides, "i want to get- an abortion today. " it's the hardest decision that a woman will have to make i in her entire life and we should l trust women to make that decision for themselves. i women's rights! in texas especially, protesters have been fired up by a strict new abortion law. applause. it bans the procedure after only six weeks of pregnancy. millions of innocent children lose their right to life every year because of abortion. in texas, we want to save those lives. the supreme court allowed the extreme texas law to go into effect, a sign to protesters that the balance of power on the bench has shifted — conservative control strengthened by donald trump's judicial appointments — and they will take up a challenge to national

abortion rights in just a few months. organisers are hoping this will help them recruit new activists for the fight ahead and it's a deeply political one, perhaps more than any other issue in american law, divided along bitterly partisan battle lines. a confrontation just outside the supreme court but the future of abortion rights will be decided inside. barbara plett usher, bbc news, washington. well, paula saldana is the texas field co—ordinator for the national latina institute for reproductivejustice. she joins us from a rally in brownsville professor ziegler, good evening to you there in florida stop in the biden administration is suing the state of texas but the legislation in texas has been intentionally written to the state is not enacting the laws itself, it becomes a civil matter does that ultimately mean the legal challenge by the biden administration is set to

fail? ., , biden administration is set to fail? ., i, fail? not necessarily but there are pretty _ fail? not necessarily but there are pretty powerful _ fail? not necessarily but there are pretty powerful obstacles. are pretty powerful obstacles in front of it, both because as was the case with abortion before, it's not clear if the biden administration is doing the right people. it is also not clear if the biden administration can identify enough of an injury outstanding, so it's not clear the law will fail but it does seem to have an uphill battle. how closely our other states watching what is happening in texas? eu; watching what is happening in texas? j . , watching what is happening in texas? �*, . , ., , texas? by closely. initially after it was _ texas? by closely. initially after it was passed, - texas? by closely. initially after it was passed, a - texas? by closely. initially. after it was passed, a whole slew of republican governors announced plans to copy sb eight, and since then that interest has cooled some. both because it seems easier to bring challenges to the law thanit bring challenges to the law than it seemed to be the case because that will open the door to legal challenges. the other thing that has happened is the plaintiffs who have actually invoked the law so far have not been the kind of people the

right to life movement may have chosen, they have been two despite attorneys, neither identifying as opposed to abortion, so if you let anyone sue you can't control the message, i think there has been more of a sense among conservative governors it is better to wait to see if there's a supreme court will reverse by the summer of 2022. how does this directly the future of roe v wade? the suweme — future of roe v wade? the supreme court _ future of roe v wade? the supreme court has - future of roe v wade? tue supreme court has the future of roe v wade? tte supreme court has the case future of roe v wade? "ttj: supreme court has the case in front of it now, out of mississippi banning abortion at 15 weeks gestation. the reason it is a big deal as the court could have taken less explosive cases but it took this one, and probably with the intent of upholding this law. the reason that a significant is roe v wade says there is a right to choose abortion until friedel liability which is around the 24th week, a full nine weeks after the mississippi law takes effect, so the court has to reverse review wade in its entirety or change viability as the dividing line which would put roe on shaky ground indeed.

it's nearly half a century since ruby wade passed, why is this coming to a head now? t5 a this coming to a head now? is a combination _ this coming to a head now? is a combination of— this coming to a head now? t3 —. combination of changes to the republican party and changes to the supreme court. the right to life movement since the 1980s has been focused on transforming and setting the stage for an overruling of roe v wade. the other thing that has changed is the republican party has moved away from a strategy of appealing to the median voter voting majority and instead focused on turnout, energising the base and shrinking the electorate, so abortion policies like the one you see implemented in texas which don't tend to poll well and be popular in the united states, that is and that is — thatis states, that is and that is — that is not offputting to the gop because that energises the people who likes these outcomes, ratherthan people who likes these outcomes, rather than appealing to the largest number of american voters. iiit to the largest number of american voters. in 2016 president _ american voters. in 2016 president trump - american voters. in 2016 i president trump promised american voters. in 2016 - president trump promised he would appoint a supreme court justice and overturn roe v wade. is the former president about to get his way?- about to get his way? quite likel . i

have urged people in northern coastal areas to evacuate their homes as a cyclone is due to make landfall in the next 2a hours. cyclone shaheen is advancing towards the northern coast with winds of up to 150 kilometres per hour. is expected to bring heavy rain and high waves. there have been chaotic scenes in the chilean capital santiago as police tried to control rival marches for and against migration from venezuela and haiti. several people were injured as protesters threw stones when the two marches converged in the two marches converged in the city centre. fire has ravaged the honduran resort island of guanaja. this incredible footage shows people desperately trying to douse the flames. the fire broke out in the early hours of saturday morning. by daybreak the inferno was raging, hundreds were forced to evacuate with the honduran air force sent to help fight the fire. dozens of homes have been destroyed but remarkably no lives, reportedly, have been lost. let's get more of this

now from linda coello, the president of the humanitarian organisation cepudo. this morning when we woke up with the pictures and videos of what was happening in guanaja, we just start crying because we've been there many times and we know that at the quay, what we call bonacca, this fire would do the whole island. the only place that the people could go to save themselves was the ocean. and it has been really, i think, the worst that they have gone through because even with the hurricanes, they had shelters, they could move up to the mountain to the hills, but with the fire, it was just... i think the worst. i mean, people were running in panic. us here on the mainland, we just didn't know what to do. thanks to food for the poor that we've had already prepared

ourselves for the hurricane season. we had some emergency kits that we just started sending them. we had some good contacts with the airline here, a small airline, that flies to guanaja. so by 10:00am we were able to send 126 boxes of human aid — generators, blankets, flashlights, food, clothing, but we still have a lot to go. we are sending also some things by boat that we had, we have this good relationship with food for the poor, that theyjust answered the minute that — that was my first thing to do, call food for the poor, send them the pictures and tell them, we need you, we really need you, this is the worst and we will be using the emergency kits

that you sent us for the floods and the hurricanes because this is just an emergency as anything else could get. i mean, it's really, really bad. we've heard that there's been no fatalities, fortunately. what is some of the damage? what are some of the injuries that you have heard of? there have some people that have been burned, mostly men, probably because they were trying to save their things and save their children. up to now i spoke with the mayor about an hour ago and he says that they don't see any deaths of people but that mostly half of

the island is done. i mean, the houses were wood, they were old houses, and restaurants, remember this is a tourist area. they're gone, completely gone. he says maybe 122 homes are maybejust wiped off but that they cannot really make the assessment because it's still too hot and they cannot go inside the quay because of how hot it is. thousands have been demonstrating in brazil calling for presidentjair bolsonaro's removal. opposition parties and trade unions heralded one year ahead of the election. he is lagging behind his socialist rival in opinion polls. mark lobel reports. the call from the thousands in the streets across the country was forjair bolsonaro's impeachment and for him to go,

with exactly a year until the next presidential election. translation: we have - a president who does not invest in the health system, does not care about the population that is going hungry, and we can no longer stand this government. holding aloft their preferred successor, jair bolsonaro's left—wing rival luiz inacio lula da silva. their former president ahead in the opinion polls as well as their affections, now released from prison after serving time for corruption. the country is reeling after almost 600,000 people have so far died of coronavirus here, the second—highest country death toll worldwide. many brazilians blame it on president bolsonaro's handling of the outbreak. translation: i am here today for all of the family members l and friends who could not be present and who unfortunately died. meanwhile, brazil's most vulnerable have suffered from rising prices. translation: inflation has. caused some changes in food

consumption in my home. i am replacing some of the red meat with white beans and eggs. i see a big difference in my electricity bill, as well. but the bullish president is armed with self—confidence, projecting the image of a strongman seemingly kids' play for him during his first 1,000 days of government. translation: 1,000 days of many achievements. - 1,000 difficult days in the pandemic, but also 1,000 days without corruption. his supporters as committed as ever, backing his latest stance against vaccination passports. translation: we are fighting for a better brazil - _ a more prosperous, morejust brazil. but protesters are turning up the heat on the president, whose approval rating is at an all—time low, with dozens of outstanding requests to parliament to impeach him and several supreme court—backed investigations into his

behaviour now underway. this is bbc news. the headlines: thousands are marching for abortion rights across the united states as pro—choice supporters fear the supreme court could impose further restrictions. fire has ravaged the honduran resort island of guanaja, forcing hundreds of people to evacuate their homes. here in the uk, the fuel crisis continues with the situation in london in the south—east critical according to some filling stations. but the petrol retailers' association says elsewhere the situation is easing thanks to the restraint of drivers. their figures show more than two—thirds of sites they contacted now have fuel, but 16% have none. the military is due to help delivering fuel from monday. this report from our business correspondent katy austin. there were more queues to fill up this morning.

this was in south—east london. this is the first time i'm queueing up, because my boy normally gets it for me. but today — oh, my gosh, it's like christmas came early. these drivers in newcastle, though, weren't having issues. no problems at all. i've just put £100 in the van to keep us going for the week. well, a few days ago it was very hard, but i think it's starting to pick up a little bit now. the body representing independent forecourts says availability across the country has improved. it thinks about two thirds of sites now have petrol and diesel, while16% have run dry. but it has labelled the situation in london and the south—east as critical. the prioritisation for deliveries must now go to london and the south—east, and to the independent forecourts, which make up 65% of all forecourts across the uk. 200 military personnel, including 100 drivers, have been called in to help boost supplies. they're being trained

and will start on monday. amid a shortage of hgv drivers across the economy, 5,000 visas for foreign workers had already been announced, lasting until christmas eve. that includes 300 fuel tanker drivers. now we know they will be able to start immediately, and the length of time they can stay for has been extended until the end of march. 11,700 of the visas are for food lorry drivers. they won't be able to start until later this month, but the length of their stay has also been extended until up to the end of february. visiting leeds general infirmary today, the prime minister didn't rule out any further relaxation of the visa rules. what we have now is a system that allows us to control immigration, and that gives us flexibility. we can open up our markets if we need to. and of course we'll keep everything under review. ministers insist the fuel situation will continue to improve if people

only buy what they need. even when supply levels return to normal, motorists are being told they should expect to pay more at the pump as wholesale prices rise. katy austin, bbc news. climate ministers gathered in italy say a lot more progress needs to be made by wealthy countries before a crucial summit in glasgow in november. from milan, here is our environment correspondent victoria gill. frustration on the streets as young activists marched to the milan climate conference on friday. this is ourfuture, and we have to fight for our futures. inside the conference today, a mood of quiet formality as negotiators brought this meeting to a close. what is been discussed, though, could hardly be more urgent. the fires, the floods, the melting of the ice and the rising of the sea...

the overall message from leaders here is one of cautious optimism — that it will be possible to reach a decisive climate agreement in glasgow, but that it won't be easy. people who are here in milan representing some of the most vulnerable and small island nations are really concerned that we're still a long way from the trajectory of keeping global temperature increase this century to within this key threshold of 1.5 degrees celsius. we're already at a 1.1 world. we're facing increasing frequency and severity of storms and flooding. a 1.5 world is very scary to think about, especially for islands like us. and what's even scarier is that we're still not there, in terms of ambition, in terms of cutting down emissions. this vast coal mine in odisha in india, a country that still depends heavily on coal for energy, isjust a glimpse of what a challenge it is to slash carbon emissions. but leaders here agree that meeting that challenge is now urgent. by 2030 we need to have reduced

emissions globally by 16%, but what we need is everyone to come forward, and if there is a gap, we're going to have to set out how we will close this gap in this decisive decade. the true test, bringing the politics in line with the science, will be at the critical un climate conference injust one month's time. victoria gill, bbc news, milan. let us go live to la palma in the canary islands, where lava continues to flow from the volcano. these are life pictures of the volcano which has been erupting for the past 11 days or so. authorities are advising people to limit their time outdoors in parts of la palma as the volcano on the spanish island is spewing out two new streams of lava, threatening further destruction. so far 6000 people have been evacuated due to the proximity of lava flows to their homes.

after very successful covid—19 immunisation programmes using vaccines from the likes of pfizer and moderna, some richer countries are already rolling out booster shots. at the same time, many lower—income nations have been forced to turn to lesser—known vaccine providers, including some that have not yet been approved by the world health organization. professor terry nolan is head of the vaccine and immunisation research group at the doherty institute in melbourne. i asked him about the general picture when it comes to vaccine inequality. access to supply is most important, though. the international initiative which is called covax, which has been signed up to by many of the countries and many rich governments, to contribute vaccines into an international pool,

is a really important step in making those vaccines available to countries around the world. first of all, everyone should, i think, take a cold shower about all of this issue about how much of a difference is there between the vaccines. by and large, all of the vaccines are doing a very good job at controlling covid. certainly the ancestral or the initial wuhan strain, but even now with the delta strain, which is much more elusive, they're still doing a good job. there are questions of availability, of certainty about that, in some of the vaccines — for example some of the chinese vaccines, some from cuba and others where there isn't yet enough transparency in the data, either clinical trial data or data following their rollout in populations, to be certain about what i just said — to be certain that they are as effective as others. but the suspicion is that they are. so that is an issue, and countries assisted by who need to be assured that if they are going to procure vaccines that they will do the job that they've promised. and that is a significant issue for which who has significant

responsibility. europe's first trip to mercury has sent back its first pictures. it is moving too fast to go into orbit but will begin more detailed observations in four years' time. i spoke to a professor of planetary geoscience who says expectations are high. the first missions _ expectations are high. the first missions only - expectations are high. ttj: first missions only saw half the planet, the second one did great work but it only had relatively low resolution cameras, so it couldn't see things that were bigger than — smaller than a few hundred metres across. it took some stuff but there were any images. bepicolombo, which is a joint european space agency and japanese mission, can take really good high resolution images globally. it can image a small part of the surface at really high resolutions, things

that are tens of metres across, and it can also explore composition and the magnetic field. so it doesn't awful lot of things for one mission. it is very small, but it's got a magnetic field. mars doesn't have a magnetic field, and it is bigger. so it is in some ways a bit more like the earth. it is a bit of a baffle, we don't really understand why that is. also, it is quite like the moon in some ways in terms of its environment. it is almost airless, but it shows a lot of geological activity, or has in the past. enormous faults, largervolcanic faults, larger volcanic provinces, big faults, largervolcanic provinces, big lava flows under the surface, and also weird things that we haven't seen on other planets like little hollows which appear to be where material from underground is escaping to space, a bit like melting or evaporating ice. so yes, it has a lot of

strange geology, the queen has marked the opening of the sixth session of the scottish parliament. accompanied by prince charles and camilla, the queen said the beginning of a new session was a time for renewal and fresh thinking. members of the scottish parliament, as we all step out from adverse and uncertain times, occasions such as this today provides an opportunity for hope and optimism. marking this new session does indeed bring a sense of beginning and renewal. before we go, hundreds of hot—air balloons have taken to the skies over new mexico as the albuquerque international balloon fiesta returned for the first time since the pandemic. nearly 600 balloons took part, including yoda, smokey the bear and the creamland cow.

nearly a million people will visit the event over the next nine days. it is the 49th running of the fiesta, bringing millions to the local economy. hello. saturday was a soaker where you are. sunday will be a much brighter day. there'll still be showers around, it's still going to be windy, but there will also be some spells of sunshine to be had as well. of course, low pressure responsible for the soaking rain, which affected some parts of the uk on saturday. for sunday it's close to northern scotland. this is where we'll start the day with the strongest winds, with the northern isles, especially shetland, gusting 60—70 mph. starting temperatures and coldest areas will be across the north of mainland scotland, some spots close to freezing as the day begins. most of the early showers are going to be in western areas. they will travel gradually further east as we go on through the day, and by the afternoon

many of the showers are going to be reasonably hit and miss, though a longer spell of rain pushing back across northern scotland and the northern isles. these are average wind speeds. there'll be gusts up to around 35—45 mph. those very strong winds in the northern isles ease a little but it remains very windy here, with gales. and as for temperatures, mostly in the range of around 12 or 13 to 17 celsius. as for the london marathon, it looks like there'll be plenty of sunshine around during the morning. into the afternoon, increasing cloud, and there will be the chance of catching a shower moving through for those who take a little longer, perhaps, to complete the course. now, as we go on into the evening the showers will continue, particularly across western areas. overnight and into monday morning there'll be a few more pushing in across south wales and southern parts of england. and as for temperatures, we may just start the day on monday a degree or so higher than on sunday morning. and monday will be another day of sunshine and showers. whilst many will be focused across western areas, some again will travel further east during the day. but it's across eastern parts you're most likely to stay dry,

with some sunshine. rain gathering to the south—west as monday comes to an end, a bit of uncertainty about how quickly it's wanting to move in. but that's tied in with more weather fronts and another area of low pressure. something to play for in the detail and the position of this going into tuesday, but it's likely to bring another spell of heavy rain and strong winds, particular into wales and england. although maybe some towards the west and south—west clear up as the day goes on, there'll still be some strong winds and gales around. northern ireland may miss most of it. some of the rain could well push towards the south—east of scotland. yet more wet and windy weather on the way.

this is bbc news. the headlines. tens of thousands of abortion rights advocates have been holding demonstrations across the united states. they are opposed to a new law in texas that severely limits access to abortions in the state. there are also wider fears the supreme court will soon rule abortions nationwide are illegal. a fire has a strong—minded 200 homes on the island in honduras. hundreds were forced to evacuate with the honduran air force sent to help contain the fire. at least four people were injured before it was brought under control. demonstrations against the brazilian presidentjair bolsonaro are taking place in dozens of towns and cities across the country.
