here in the uk, police say the murder of a member of parliament has been declared an act of terrorism. sir david amess was repeatedly stabbed while meeting his constituents in south—east england. a 25—year—old man, thought to be a british national of somali origin, has been arrested. the us government has offered financial compensation to the relatives of ten people mistakenly killed by the american military in a drone strike in the afghan capital, kabul, in august. the strike on a car, which the us mistakenly thought was loaded with explosives, killed seven children. the islamic state group has said it carried out an attack that killed more than a0 people, at a mosque in the afghan city of kandahar. the mosque is used by the minority shia muslim community. police believe two suicide bombers carried out the attack.

queen elizabeth has appeared to suggest she's irritated by a lack of action by world leaders in tackling climate change. her remarks were picked up during conversations at the opening of welsh parliament. the queen, who's due to attend the cop26 climate summit in glasgow in november, said she didn't know who was actually coming to the conference. our royal correspondent nicholas witchell reports. she had been in cardiff for the opening of the welsh parliament. afterwards, she chatted to officials and the conversation turned to cop 26, the conference on global warming in glasgow, to which all of the main world leaders have been invited. the exchanges are difficult to hear, hence the subtitles. "they talk but they don't do." that, from the queen, is a revealing insight into how

she regards some politicians. it is particularly striking after very similar comments this week from other members of the royal family. here was prince charles in a bbc interview on monday. world leaders are gathering in glasgow to talk about the kind of issues that you... yes, but theyjust talk. and the problem is, to get action on the ground, which is what i've been trying to do for the last 40 years. and this was prince william in another bbc interview yesterday. we can't have more clever speak, clever words, but not enough action. so the three most senior members of the british royal family are all essentially saying or thinking the same thing, but which leaders might the queen have had in mind? after weeks of uncertainty, the australian prime minister, scott morrison, has now confirmed that he will be attending the cop 26 conference. i confirmed my attendance at the glasgow summit, which i'm looking forward to attending. it is an important event. but others, including president xi of china, have still to make clear their plans. one thing is apparent, though — the queen is hoping that they will be there.

5:56 am
of sunshine around. it was certainly a beautiful end to the day in dumfries and galloway with the sun setting over the seas there on the horizon. now, we did briefly see a cool down in weather with this slightly fresher air coming down from the north—west but this weekend, milder air is going to be pushing back in off the atlantic and with that will come rising temperatures. so on friday, actually, briefly, although it was cooler, temperatures got close to normal. 14 is average, actually, for october. it's been a very mild october so far. but actually, this weekend, across the board we will see those temperatures climbing two or three degrees celsius. and the milder air has actually already started to arrive in the south—west with thickening cloud. an odd spit of rain from that. 12 degrees celsius for the first part of saturday morning. contrast that with the cold air in the north—east, where parts of eastern scotland and north—east england have a frost in the countryside. now, for saturday morning, there will be a lot of cloud around first thing. a few showers for northern areas of scotland again. this cloud pushing eastwards across england could be thick enough to give an odd spit of
5:57 am
rain and through the afternoon, there is a threat of more general heavier rain moving into northern ireland but that's going to arrive quite late in the day. it turns milder — 15 or 16 degrees pretty widely — but in scotland, we are still hanging onto that slightly cooler and fresher air. 10 degrees in aberdeen, 12 for glasgow. now, saturday night, we will see a more active weather system move in, bringing rain across northern ireland, some heavy rain in scotland, maybe a few spots for western parts of england and wales, but it is probably that the rain is going to be a little bit lighter and patchier nature here, and that takes us into sunday. well, a lot of cloud to start the day, still thick enough for an odd spit of rain but this is generally pushing eastwards with weather generally trying to improve and brighten as the day goes by. there will be a few sunny spells coming through from time to time. now, temperatures — mild again. we're looking at highs of 17 in london and glasgow and temperatures rising a little through the central belt of scotland — around 14 for glasgow and edinburgh as well. into next week, the low pressure is firmly in charge. it's often going to be pretty
5:58 am
windy and we're going to see this very long weather front. this could bring some heavy, prolonged outbreaks of rain. at the moment, it could be affecting the hills in wales, perhaps bringing some localised flooding, but otherwise very mild weather — could see temperatures up to 20 in london on tuesday.
