hello, good morning. this is bbc news with the latest headlines. plans to end the sale of new gas boilers by 2035 in an effort to cut carbon emissions caused by heating homes. the prime minister says the boiler police won't be cooking your door down. grants of £5,000 will be given to help households switch to heat pumps. experts say the budget is too low and the strategy is not ambitious enough. would you consider replacing your existing boiler with a heat pump? and what else are you doing around the house to reduce your carbon footprint? let me know on twitter at @annita—mcveigh and use the hashtag #bbcyourquestions. an explosion shakes a housing estate in ayr, two adults and two children

are in hospital. 0ne in ayr, two adults and two children are in hospital. one month after it first erupted, the volcano continues to spew lava, and there is no end in sight. and a0 years after the first episode of bergerac, could there be a remake in the offing? hello and welcome to bbc news this morning. the prime minister has said the government's plan to phase out gas boilers will not be enforced by what he called green shirts armed with sandals and carrots. boris johnson wrote the comments in a newspaper article promoting his aim to stop the sale of new gas boilers

within 15 years. from next april, households in england and wales will be offered grants of £5,000 to install air source heat pumps or other green heating. £a50 million will be spent on the boiler upgraded scheme which will run for three years. around 20% of uk emissions are from heating buildings, according to official figures, so there is pressure on this heat and buildings strategy to deliver effective reductions. critics say the scheme is unambitious as the grants amount to just 90,000 replaced boilers. 0urfirst report this morning comes from our consumer affairs correspondent colletta smith. it came down there, into that corner. there is a secret lying under richard's garden. the heat for his home is absorbed via an underground network of pipes. it comes in through a ground source pump. so, this is where the actual hardware is located.

richard swapped his lp gas guzzling system seven years ago, and he hasn't looked back. i can safely say it's been the best thing we ever did. i mean, the house is constantly at a pleasant temperature. it's not boiling hot, but it's very livable. and the economics of it are just fantastic. we paid 15,000 for the ground source and then 5,000 for some solar thermal panels for the roof, which supply the hot water. to make a ground source pump work, you need a massive garden, which is a pipe dream for most of us. the other type of heat pump works by compressing heat from the air. it's cheaper to install and smaller, but most homes will still need loads of insulation first. then we'll go through and see some of the equipment we've got set up. david spends his time researching heating efficiency and says although the money sounds like a lot, it won't go far. what we're being left with is a gamble on the future, that these things are going to be cheaper and that the industry

are going to be more ready to install them, and, crucially, that people are going to want them. do you think this is going to be enough to convince people with gas boilers to make the switch? perhaps not yet. one of the problem is that they're going to face here is getting that connection with people and householders, to make sure the policy actually works and it's something people are happy to take on. because each home is different, getting 86% of households off gas is a monumental challenge. despite promises, this strategy will only begin to scratch the surface. coletta smith, bbc news, harrogate. the heat pump initiative isjust part of a wider plan to help the uk achieve its net zero targets. we will hear more details about that this lunchtime. we can speak now to our energy and environment analyst roger harrabin. good morning to you. so, if heating buildings accounts for a fifth of the uk greenhouse gas emissions, and if you think about homes for example the majority are

heated by gas boilers, how important is it that heating is de—carbonised? 0h, is it that heating is de—carbonised? oh, it's really important. the uk can't achieve its low—carbon goals without decarbonising people's homes. and the government frankly, both stripes of government over the past few decades have been shilly—shallying about buildings. they are putting sums research into home insulation now but it is only a fraction of the research funding that has gone into low—carbon cars or low—carbon aircraft. this has really been the cinderella policy area. , ., ., ., area. so, tell us more than about how much — area. so, tell us more than about how much it _ area. so, tell us more than about how much it is _ area. so, tell us more than about how much it is to _ area. so, tell us more than about how much it is to install - area. so, tell us more than about how much it is to install and - area. so, tell us more than about how much it is to install and run i how much it is to install and run these heat pumps? it how much it is to install and run these heat pumps?— how much it is to install and run these heat pumps? it depends on the future rice these heat pumps? it depends on the future price of— these heat pumps? it depends on the future price of electricity, _ these heat pumps? it depends on the future price of electricity, but - these heat pumps? it depends on the future price of electricity, but it - future price of electricity, but it looks like it is going to be roughly the same to run heat pumps, as it is at the moment to run a gas boiler. the question is the installation cost. so, totting it up, the government is going to give you £5,000, if you are one of the lucky,

relatively few, who get it, and on top of that £5,000 there will be about an extra £2500 that you will have to pay yourself towards the heat pump, if you get rid of your boiler, but having said that you would have to fork out for a new boiler anyway. and then there is the installation cost as well, because that almost certainly would include swapping your radiators, changing the piping and all sorts of things, so it is a big hassle and a big expense and the government thinks it is inevitable for us to go down this route if we are going to decarbonise, and personally i can't see any other major alternatives. hydrogen for instance is only likely to play a very small part, but it looks to me as though the government has got to move a lot further in getting people to switch over to heat pumps than it is proposing to do at the moment. you heat pumps than it is proposing to do at the moment.— do at the moment. you say, if you are lucky enough _ do at the moment. you say, if you are lucky enough to _ do at the moment. you say, if you are lucky enough to get _ do at the moment. you say, if you are lucky enough to get this - are lucky enough to get this subsidy, because the government wants the sale of new gas boilers to stop within 15 years, this subsidy is available over three years, that

is available over three years, that is available over three years, that is a gap of 12 years, so is this enough, from the government, to make a meaningful difference? weill. enough, from the government, to make a meaningful difference?— a meaningful difference? well, i can't find anybody _ a meaningful difference? well, i can't find anybody yet _ a meaningful difference? well, i can't find anybody yet who - a meaningful difference? well, i can't find anybody yet who says | a meaningful difference? well, i- can't find anybody yet who says that it is enough. for instance, the government at the moment is planning to have 30,000 homes a year ago over to have 30,000 homes a year ago over to heat pumps. the same government says that by the end of the decade, it is expecting 600,000 homes a year to be heat pump heated, and its climate advisers say that number should be1 million. so, from 30,000, we are looking to 1 should be1 million. so, from 30,000, we are looking to1 million, and it's very hard to see how that can be scaled up unless the government is willing to help people buy these things and install them. that the moment it does not seem to be willing to do that, although we have to wait and see because we have got the chancellor's autumn statement, comprehensive spending review, coming up in the next week, so we will see if they are going to put any more money into it. roger harrabin, thank— put any more money into it. roger harrabin, thank you _ put any more money into it. roger harrabin, thank you very _ put any more money into it. roger harrabin, thank you very much. i harrabin, thank you very much. and we are expecting to hear from the

prime minister today, who is hosting a global investment summit. we will hear more about the government's wider net zero strategy today, so, much more conversation and discussion around that today. speaking on the today programme this morning, and marie trevelyan, secretary of state for international trade and uk international champion on adaptation and resilience for the cop26 presidency, said that the government is showing its commitment to real change in tackling climate change. figs to real change in tackling climate chance. �* , , ~ to real change in tackling climate chance. r , ~ ., ., , change. as the duke of cambridge said at his earth _ change. as the duke of cambridge said at his earth shot _ change. as the duke of cambridge said at his earth shot prize - change. as the duke of cambridge said at his earth shot prize on - said at his earth shot prize on sunday evening, this is the decisive decade. we don't have a choice in this, we need to be both world leading, as well as hosting cop26, and making sure that the rest of the world is also doing it, and that is part of the challenge and we want to harness the energy and the commitment of investors who are joining us here today, who want to be part of that revolution, so that we know that it is easy for citizens across the world to be part of that

and that the big, chunky stuff that you and i can't control, the big sources of energy, our clean energy solutions in the long term. the shadow economic _ solutions in the long term. the shadow economic secretary to the treasury, pat mcfadden, joins us now from westminster. good morning to you. on this heat and building strategy first of all and the plan to replace gas boilers, heating accounting for 20% of the uk greenhouse gas emissions, do you think this is going far enough, as i asked my colleague, is it going to make a credible and meaningful difference?— make a credible and meaningful difference? ., , ., ., ., difference? no, it is not going far enou:h. difference? no, it is not going far enough- the _ difference? no, it is not going far enough. the country _ difference? no, it is not going far enough. the country was - difference? no, it is not going far enough. the country was looking | difference? no, it is not going far. enough. the country was looking to the government to come out with a credible plan in advance of cop26 which is taking place in glasgow in a couple of weeks, and this announcement fails that test. the figures you have already had in your report illustrate the scale of the challenge. the prime minister himself said we should be installing 600,000 heat pumps a year by 2028.

this announcement is to fund partially just this announcement is to fund partiallyjust 30,000 a year, so, one in plenty of what is needed. and the overall scale of the challenge is that we have 19 million homes in this country that don't yet meet the epc standard that we want to see. so, the scale of the challenges very big. there is big economic potential in this in terms ofjob creation and reducing people's heating bills, and we need to do that after what we have seen in recent weeks, but the announcement on boilers that the government has madejust announcement on boilers that the government has made just scratches the surface and doesn't meet that challenge. ibig the surface and doesn't meet that challenue. �* .., ., . the surface and doesn't meet that challenue. �* ., . ., challenge. big economic potential in this, ou challenge. big economic potential in this. you say. _ challenge. big economic potential in this. you say. but — challenge. big economic potential in this, you say, but obviously - challenge. big economic potential in this, you say, but obviously the - this, you say, but obviously the treasury is trying to balance the books, coming out of the pandemic, still in the pandemic, and as far as the wider net zero review goes, we have reports that the treasury is concerned about how much all of this transition is going to cost, do you

accept that this is a difficult balancing act for the government? you've got to consider the costs of acting and the costs of not acting. we set out a plan at our conference just a few weeks ago to invest £6 billion a year in home heating over the next decade to deal with that 19 million homes. we think that would have big economic positives for the country in terms ofjob creation and reducing bills for consumers, and the obr, reducing bills for consumers, and the 0br, who are the government's advisers on economic forecasting, have said that if we, for example, delayed this effort for a decade, it would double the cost of the transition, because we would be baking in the old technologies and making investments that would become redundant. so, yes, there is a cost to acting but it is a good investment for the future and there is also a very big cost in not acting, which will leave us both with a dirty planet and with increased costs in the future. [30

increased costs in the future. do ou or increased costs in the future. do you or would you like to see the private sector stepping up to do more in all of this? we had word from the treasury yesterday that it is confirming plans to legislate to mandate large companies, the finance sector, to publish credible, what they call credible, transition plans towards net zero? {lift they call credible, transition plans towards net zero?— towards net zero? of course, you have to have _ towards net zero? of course, you have to have a — towards net zero? of course, you have to have a partnership - towards net zero? of course, you have to have a partnership here l have to have a partnership here between the public sector and the private sector. we've been talking about government spending already today, but the private sector has got a big role to play. the finance sector, i cover this for the opposition frontbench, there has got to be big investment from the private sector into this in terms of technology, in terms of the way that we use our energy, car production, battery factories and so on, big private sector investment will be necessary. but here's thing. if you

are going to get big private sector investment and have a proper partnership, you need to have a proper relationship between politics and business. and that means the government stopping using business as a scapegoat and blaming it every time there is a supply chain shortage or a shortage of workers. that's not the atmosphere that we need if we are going to meet this national challenge. we need a partnership between government and business and that is what is not in place at the moment but what we really need to be in place for the future. . ~. . really need to be in place for the future. . a ., , ., ., future. pat mcfadden, shadow economic secretary _ future. pat mcfadden, shadow economic secretary to - future. pat mcfadden, shadow economic secretary to the, - future. pat mcfadden, shadow. economic secretary to the, thank future. pat mcfadden, shadow- economic secretary to the, thank you very much for your time. four people have been taken to hospital after an explosion at a house in ayr. two adults and two children were injured in the blast which was heard and felt for miles around. police said one house was entirely destroyed and those on either side were damaged. the cause of the blast is under investigation. 0ur correspondent is

gas explosion is one possibility, but nothing has been confirmed so far. , . ~ . ., but nothing has been confirmed so far. �* ., n ., ., ~' but nothing has been confirmed so far. , . ~. ., . ~ ,., but nothing has been confirmed so far. , . ~. ., . ~' ,., ., far. jamie mcivor, thank you for that update- — far. jamie mcivor, thank you for that update. normal— far. jamie mcivor, thank you for that update. normal business i far. jamie mcivor, thank you for - that update. normal business resumes in parliament today following a day of tributes to sir david amis. last night a memorial service was held at westminster abbey for the mp who was killed during a constituency surgery on friday. —— sir david amess. a25—year—old man remains in custody on suspicion of murder. i can talk now to my colleague who is in leigh—on—sea. i'm sure you've been gauging reaction this morning to the granting of city status to southend—on—sea, something that sir david amess campaigned for and something which was very close to his heart? , . ., ., ., his heart? yes, and that granting of ci status his heart? yes, and that granting of city status is — his heart? yes, and that granting of city status is a _ his heart? yes, and that granting of city status is a very _ his heart? yes, and that granting of city status is a very rare _ his heart? yes, and that granting of city status is a very rare honour, - city status is a very rare honour, it is one that is not given very often. and no—one perhaps knew that

more so than sir david amess himself. it is something he had long campaigned forfor himself. it is something he had long campaigned for for southend. and himself. it is something he had long campaigned forfor southend. and in many ways, people feel delighted that it has now happened, finally, but it is a bittersweet moment because the man who wanted it perhaps more than anyone else hasn't lived to see it happen. yesterday in the house of commons, we saw a chamber that we don't often see hushed, sombre, gone was the raucous debate, the noise, the bustle, at times, complete silence as mps there reflected on his life, his contribution to politics over almost a0 years as an mp. during the tributes, the home secretary even went on to describe sir david amess as mr southend. so, people here see that there is perhaps no better, no bigger, no more fitting tribute, than for southend to be granted city status in his honour, in recognition of all that he did for this

constituency in the more than 20 years that he was the mp here. find years that he was the mp here. and ben, the debate continues over how best to keep mps safe and secure, what is the latest on the examination of that question by the home secretary?— home secretary? yes, you're absolutely — home secretary? yes, you're absolutely right, _ home secretary? yes, you're absolutely right, that - home secretary? yes, you're absolutely right, that was - home secretary? yes, you're - absolutely right, that was brought up absolutely right, that was brought up in the house of commons in the discussions and the debate yesterday. mps opening up about how often they felt fearful for their own safety and security but also that of their staff and their families. it was quite striking to hear how many of them had received not one but multiple death threats over the course of their careers. sometimes frequently. and this focuses the mind, an incident like this, and the home secretary said that she is looking at a range of options to help improve security for mps. but at the same time, stressing that any response should be

proportionate to the risk, and that it mustn't harm the accessibility that constituents have to their elected representatives. that view is very much shared by stephen timms, the labour mp who himself was attacked in his own constituency office back in 2010, and he has been speaking to bbc breakfast this morning. speaking to bbc breakfast this morninu. ~ �* , , speaking to bbc breakfast this morninu. ~ �*, , ., ., , morning. well, it's been a horrible event, morning. well, it's been a horrible event. and — morning. well, it's been a horrible event, and the _ morning. well, it's been a horrible event, and the news _ morning. well, it's been a horrible event, and the news on _ morning. well, it's been a horrible event, and the news on friday - morning. well, it's been a horrible event, and the news on friday wasj event, and the news on friday was 'ust event, and the news on friday was just awful. — event, and the news on friday was just awful, and of course, it is right— just awful, and of course, it is right that _ just awful, and of course, it is right that we all think again about the security arrangements in our surgeries — the security arrangements in our surgeries i_ the security arrangements in our surgeries. i was attacked in my constituency surgery... i apologise for ullin: constituency surgery... i apologise for putting away — constituency surgery... i apologise for pulling away from _ constituency surgery... i apologise for pulling away from that - constituency surgery... i apologise for pulling away from that clip - for pulling away from that clip because we are going to go to the science museum, the prime minister has begun speaking there, launching the green investment summit. thea;r the green investment summit. they are, like the green investment summit. they are. like so — the green investment summit. they are, like so many— the green investment summit. they are, like so many in _ the green investment summit. they are, like so many in this _ the green investment summit. tue: are, like so many in this audience, they are the cornflakes that got to they are the cornflakes that got to the top of the packet, they are the winners, and i want you to think

instead of all the millions of misshapen, mutant objects that never made it into this museum, the tvs that didn't turn on, the rockets that didn't turn on, the rockets that blew up, the cars that were meant to run on rhubarb wine, i want you to think of all of those inventors in history blubbing in their scorched garages, and i want you to think about how exhausting and time—consuming and expensive it is to produce a genuine scientific breakthrough, and then i want you to reflect on the sheer improbability of what humanity has achieved in the last 18 months. we still don't have a vaccine for aids. we don't have a cure, we don't have a cure for the common cold, but within a year of the appearance of covid—19, this lethal new virus with its uncanny powers of transmission, we have forged an entirely new set of armour forged an entirely new set of armour for our species and it is getting

stronger all the time. i've had my vaccine, several, in fact. have you? yes? washing around the back teeth with vaccine, we all are. and it is thanks to this protection that we've been able to hold this summit in the way that we are, and to meet and shake hands in the old—fashioned way, do some of the things that we always used to do. and the current stresses and strains in the global supply chains are actually a function that is of a world economy thatis function that is of a world economy that is suddenly surging again with demand. and vaccine induced confidence. and that's why this country is forecast to have the fastest growth of any advanced economy in the world next year, that's notjust rishi sunak saying that, it is the oecd. consumer spending in the uk per capita is almost a third higher than our friends in the eu. and when you look at the lightning speed of the

vaccine roll—out, there were all sorts of things that made it possible. we had scientists at a great university, my own, as it happens, who produced an affordable room temperature vaccine, and then did a fantastic deal with the uk government by which we were able to send about 1.5 billion doses, at cost, around the world. we had the nhs to put it into our arms, all the army of council workers, the volunteers, everybody who helped, but we had one other thing that made those vaccines possible, my friends, and you know what it is, it was something that many of you represent, all of you represent, and thatis represent, all of you represent, and that is free—market capitalism. free—market capitalism, the willingness to spend massive sums, and risk, on something that might never come off. and we had great companies, astrazeneca, i direct lineal descendant of ici and others, we had pfizer, moderna and others,

and in wales i'm proud to say we had the bottling plant that made it all possible. actually an indian company. from mumbai, whose family motto was, work hard and it was the hard work of those companies and their staff that made it possible, and the whole system is supported by investors by investors and shareholders and bankers, that is how this miracle was performed, and i think it is a very significant event historically, because for more than ten years or so, we've all been worrying that francisco koyama, remember him, that he was wrong, and we've been thinking, what if the future does not really belong to open societies and free—market

democracies? and i think actually the story of the covid vaccines is a reminder of what that system can achieve, because in the end it was free—market capitalism in the great democracies of the world that helped the world to produce the most effective vaccines. and that is the formula we must now repeat. innovation, capitalism, and a strong government lead, because we face a challenge that is even bigger for humanity, a threat to our way of life, that is ultimately far worse than covid. just a couple of weeks, the world will assemble in glasgow. and i hope that many of you, all of will be there. because the lesson of covid is absolutely clear. we have to listen to the scientists, they are very often right, you know. we need urgent government action. but we must mobilise the markets, we must bring in the private sector,

because i can deploy billions, with the approval of the chancellor, obviously, but you in this room, you can deploy trillions, indeed, i am given to understand that there is $24 given to understand that there is $2a trillion represented in this room. is that right? $2a trillion. each and every one of those dollars. i want to send a never of them, to the uk, you're very welcome, you have come to the right place at the right time, because we are going through three huge transformations in this country, each of them driving the other and each of them making this place a better place to invest. the first is the green industrial revolution, the ten point plan, which is today being elaborated in our plan for net zero to build back greener. this was the first asian to industrialise, to send the plumes of smoke from the

midlands, we were the first to knit the deadly tea cosy of c02 which is now driving climate change, and so we have a responsibility to set an example, and we are, we are already the saudi arabia of wind power, we have more offshore wind than anywhere else on earth, we have the most ambitious timetable anywhere to end internal combustion engine cars that run on hydrocarbons, and that is why we are making the big bets that we are, with you, on dvds and giga factories, and we want to go further. it was the idea of the contract for difference that enabled the private sector to come in with wind power, and that is what we are now doing with hydrogen. —— evs. because we want to be the qatar of hydrocarbon capture and storage. in fact i think we might already be the qatar of hydrogen, but we want to be with you. and i think hydrogen is

part of the solution, because i saw ajcb digger part of the solution, because i saw a jcb digger yesterday that run on hydrogen, and to drive a digger or a truck or to hurl a massive passenger plane down the runway, you need what jeremy clarkson used to call grant. i think there may be a technical term for it, but grunt, and hydrogen provides that grant, and so we are making big bets on hydrogen, on solar and on hydro, and of course, on nuclear as well. nuclear, for our bow slowed —— for a base load. and we have now pledged to switch entirely to green power generation ijy entirely to green power generation by 2035. and | entirely to green power generation by 2035. and i know that there are some who say that we are going to fast, and i say to them that frankly, there is a force out there thatis frankly, there is a force out there that is stronger than government, and actually a force that is stronger even than business, represented by the $2a billion in this room, and that forces consumer

choice. that force is the market. and the market is going green. and people know that we have the technological solutions to these problems, and they want to go green. and they know that we will be able one day to bring down the prices of green technology, evs and heat pumps and solar panels, in the way that we so rapidly made microwaves and mobile phones affordable. and they can see that we can do it. when i was a kid, 80% of energy came from coal. when i was mayor of london, it was down to a0%. today, it is less than 1%. and at the same time, we are turning this green industrial revolution into sustained economic growth, because we've cut c02 revolution into sustained economic growth, because we've cut co2 by aa% on 1990 levels in this country, and yet the uk economy has grown over that period by 78%. to adapt gordon gecko, who may or may not be a hero

of anybody in this room, green is good, green is right, green works. and that is the way ahead for the whole planet. because this cop26 must be the moment when government joins hand with the private sector, together with the mdb took over, with the imf, with the world bank, we should be setting the parameters, the strike prices, the contract for difference, that is green technology. we should be using this moment collectively as government to leverage in the trillions of the market, creating the country platforms that will not only tackle climate change but deliver green jobs and green growth around the world. and here in the uk, that technological revolution is being turbocharged by the second of the three big changes that are happening in our country. we're using our new freedoms, outside the eu, to do things differently and to regulate, we hope, better. notjust when it

comes to vaccines but in so many areas of the 21st century economy where the uk has a lead. financial services, cyber, ai, quantum computing, data, tech of all kinds. we lead the world in tech. there are only three countries in the world that have more than 100 unicorns. you know what i mean by a unicorn, a tech start—up worth more than $1 million. and they are the us, china and the united kingdom. we've got about 106 of them now. our nearest european rival, i won't mention them ijy european rival, i won't mention them by name, have about 2a. but the point about these unicorns in tech is that they are increasingly dispersed around the uk. there are

tech unicorns in manchester, in solihull, and that brings me to the third great transformation that is happening now in our country, and the overarching moral, political, economic objective of this government, and we believe, i believe, that talent and genius and flair and imagination and enthusiasm are distributed evenly throughout the human race and throughout the uk. for too long, in the uk we have had a grotesquely lopsided economy so we are uniting and levelling up. illrul’ith a are uniting and levelling up. with a colossal £640,ooo,ooo,ooo - are uniting and levelling up. try —. colossal £6a0,000,000,000 programme of investment in infrastructure, education and skills and technology. investing in the northern powerhouse, rail, other projects connecting great urban centres of the north so there is the same ease of commuting, the same effects we have long seen in the south, putting gigabit broadband everywhere, it was

7% when i first became prime minister, now rising 65% all prepared and propelled by the chancellor 's investment and we are investing in the skills, skills, skills of british people. tackling the productivity puzzle, we have some of the most productive companies anywhere in the world but this great long tail of relative lack of productivity. moving from a skill economy to a high wage, high wage, high skill economy, controlling immigration but with a commitment to global talent and making sure we are open to people who want to come and make their lives here and contribute to our country. that is the plan. the green industrial revolution, turbo—charged by a new brexit freedoms with an agenda to unite and level up across the country and we have all sorts of familiar advantages, the country and we have all sorts of familiaradvantages, one the country and we have all sorts of familiar advantages, one that you will have heard me say before, possibly you veterans of my speeches! the time zone, we have the

right language, i think it is the right language, i think it is the right language, i think it is the right language anyway. we have the rule of law, great universities, some of the best in the world. dispersed across this country. we have a cultural and media footprint, so massive that peppa pig, which i know a lot about at the moment, is teaching kids in america to say tomato and petrol and money and there are three current contestants for the world number one, and they are adele and coldplay and ed sheeran. if you are really worried about the weather which i cannot believe you are, let me remind you that it actually rains more in rome. this is the great cultural capital of the world, the cyclotron of talent, we already attract huge sums of inward investment, more than anywhere else in this hemisphere and this is the moment when we in the uk

want to lengthen that lead. this summit has already been a success, we have raised a further 10,000,000,000 of inward investment, securing and creating 30,000 new jobs but you remember that moment in trading places, when they sell pork bellies, or i think it is frozen concentrated orange juice, bellies, or i think it is frozen concentrated orangejuice, you concentrated orange juice, you remember that, concentrated orangejuice, you remember that, sell, sell, and they turn and they look at each other with a wild gleam in their eyes and they look at the clock. and they buy, they buy, they buy and now is that time, my friends. now is the moment for you to consult the atlas of investment that we have provided, now is the time to buy into a country that has long—standing and natural advantages as a home for investment but which is now changing and building on those advantages and

moving in an exciting, new direction with a green industrial revolution, with a green industrial revolution, with new regulatory freedoms and a new mission to unite and level up across the whole of the united kingdom. come with us on the journey, i can tell you the uk government will be with you every step of the way. thank you very much and i hope you enjoyed this summit. thank you. and i hope you en'oyed this summit. thank ou. ., and i hope you en'oyed this summit. thank ou. . .,, and i hope you en'oyed this summit. thank ou. . , and i hope you en'oyed this summit. thank ou. . thank you. that was boris johnson. at the science _ thank you. that was boris johnson. at the science museum. _ thank you. that was boris johnson. at the science museum. launching| at the science museum. launching this global investment summit. investment finance. very much the theme of that opening speech. talking about mobilising the markets, bringing in the private sector to really finance the transition away from a carbonised existence to renewable energy, et cetera. mobilising finance, one of the goals, the four goals of the cop 26 summit in glasgow which is beginning in a couple of weeks. the

major climate change conference, the united nations by the change conference, the prime ministers launching the summit on a day we are talking about lots of other strategies announced by the government including the wider net zero strategy. here with me to talk about that is the ranking chair of energy engineering at the university of glasgow. professor, good morning. you are an engineer. not in the financial sector. you are an engineer. not in the financialsector. how you are an engineer. not in the financial sector. how important do you think the input of the private sector is going to be in driving forward big initiatives? goad forward big initiatives? good morning- — forward big initiatives? good morning. the _ forward big initiatives? good morning. the input - forward big initiatives? good morning. the input of - forward big initiatives? good morning. the input of the i forward big initiatives?

worst. so we need to insulate while we also progress with the provision of clean heat to homes. how do we provide clean heat? heat pumps are obviously existing technology. there is a variety of the pump technology, they are not all the same, with the same level of performance. they have varying costs, the average cost of a heat pump for a house is in the region of £10,000. and we need to start phasing out the gas provision for heating as quickly as possible. we are talking about maybe phasing out, it's never going to happen in a harsh way but probably not going to happen before 2035, if you consider a typical gas boiler has a lifetime of 20 years, that would take a new installation with gas made in 2035 to still be operational in 2055. which is after when we are supposed

to be heading net zero so we need to act swiftly to decarbonise heating. that's a really stark picture you paint of the timelines and the possible impact of installing a new gas boiler in the next 15 years. and of course renewable electricity is what is needed to power these heat pumps. where are we on that? boris johnsonjust saying in his pumps. where are we on that? boris johnson just saying in his speech a moment ago that the uk is the saudi arabia of wind power. but also what part does nuclear energy have to play in this? we part does nuclear energy have to play in this?— play in this? we need clean electricity _ play in this? we need clean electricity to _ play in this? we need clean electricity to power - play in this? we need clean electricity to power all - play in this? we need clean| electricity to power all these options for greening our infrastructure and our life. we need to make sure that we are not triggering a competition for green power. we need to have a plan in my view, year on year, and exactly which activities need to be started, which activities need to be started, which activities need to be started, which activities need to come on stream to make sure we have a

balance between green electricity demand and whether and where it is coming from. we need to hear about hydrogen, we need to find heat, transport, we need to make sure there is a stepped and plant progress to deal with increasing demand and accompanying provision of clean electricity. what we define as green at the moment in europe as agreed by the eu which fixes the threshold at 100 g of carbon dioxide emissions per kilowatt hour, some people consider this threshold to be too comfortable and maybe should be a little more stringent and that threshold should be regarded as applicable to the entire life—cycle of an energy project. how do you define the life—cycle of something like nuclear? that produces nuclear waste that will remain with us for thousands of years? to then define

the life—cycle of thousands of years? or is a typical lifetime 30 or a0 years of a project? years? or is a typical lifetime 30 or 40 years of a project?- years? or is a typical lifetime 30 or 40 years of a project? or 40 years of a pro'ect? these are ruestions or 40 years of a pro'ect? these are questions that — or 40 years of a project? these are questions that remain. _ or 40 years of a project? these are questions that remain. professor, i questions that remain. professor, thank you for your thoughts. let me tell you we will be answering your questions on the net zero strategy and what it means for you. that will be at 11:15 am. we will be enjoined by an environmental scientist and a sustainable energy academic. get in touch with your questions using the #bbcyourquestions or you can e—mail us. a new report says almost one in threejobs in the uk music industry was lost as a result of the coronavirus pandemic. the trade body uk music says that means 69,000 jobs were wiped out as a sector struggled with the impact of covid 19. is

calling on the government to introduce measures such as tax incentives to the industry. let's talk to the chief executive of uk music. thank you for talking to me this morning. 69,000 jobs wiped out. what's it going to take for the sector to recover? tt’s sector to recover? it's heartbreaking, - sector to recover? it's heartbreaking, isn't i sector to recover? it'sl heartbreaking, isn't it? sector to recover? tt�*s heartbreaking, isn't it? if you look at the level spree pandemic the music industry generated millions of pounds for the economy, supported 200,000 jobs, pounds for the economy, supported 200,000jobs, covid pounds for the economy, supported 200,000 jobs, covid 19 hits overnight. you see billions wiped off the value of the industry and musicians, crew members were not able to work. musicians could not work, live events could not happen, those working in the sector were impacted, three quarters in the sector are self—employed or freelance, some of them are not able to get support, lots of them let the sector, we heard stories of some of them becoming delivery drivers,

working in supermarkets. that has taken thousands ofjobs out of the industry. we do not want to look backwards, we want to look forwards and work out what we need to do to be able to return to that key driver of the economy, the national asset that we were before the pandemic. i'm sorry, there are five key areas where you want action from the government. take us through those. the big one is brexit. we want to be exporting british success internationally but we still face huge challenges on things like visas, work permits. government support to resolve the brexit crisis is critical. there's been things introduced over the pandemic, we want those to be made permanent, the cut in vat, just as the sector starts to recover that cut and hop hospitality vat needs to stay permanent but things that boosted the sector, the film and tv sector have got a fiscal incentive, tax

relief that has generated inward investment, it has created jobs, boosted the sector. we would like to see those sorts of things with the music industry. also planning for the future. music education is so important. making sure music education is properly funded. we can invest in future talent. that is absolutely critical. as we know, music is such an important sector, important for the whole country, economically, emotionally, culturally and socially. as we look to bounce back from the pandemic, a strong and thriving music industry is one of the things we need. the culture secretary nadine dorries has written the introduction to the report. in that she said the uk music industry is one of our country , s music industry is one of our country 's great national assets. has she given you any assurances, promises, on those five areas that you are looking for government help? this is what we are — looking for government help? this is what we are looking _ looking for government help? this is what we are looking to _ looking for government help? this is what we are looking to see _ looking for government help? this is what we are looking to see from - what we are looking to see from government. she hasjust been

appointed as culture secretary. and i think the last 18 months have been about survival for this sector. now it is about recovery. we are asking government for that support and backing to make sure we bounce back and we are all looking with baited breath to see what the government measures and interventions we can expect in the new culture secretary. and we are hoping to work closely with them to really support the sector and make sure the sector which delivers so much of the country can be that post— pandemic driver of economic recovery we all want to see. driver of economic recovery we all want to see-— want to see. jamie, good luck with that. want to see. jamie, good luck with that- chief — want to see. jamie, good luck with that. chief executive _ want to see. jamie, good luck with that. chief executive of _ want to see. jamie, good luck with that. chief executive of uk - want to see. jamie, good luck with that. chief executive of uk music. | that. chief executive of uk music. thank you. new research has suggested infrared light could help ease the symptoms of dementia. the study led by scientists at durham university found volunteers who wore an infrared helmet experienced improvements in memory and brain processing speed. they described the findings is promising but said more research is needed. with meat now is

one of the scientists behind the study. and doctor susan cole has from alzheimer's research uk. thank you forjoining us. why did you begin looking at this particular area as a possible treatment for dementia, infrared light therapy? this is 20 years in the making. i've been working on this for the last 20 years. investigating the possibility of using infrared light as a therapy. 0ver that time, of using infrared light as a therapy. 0verthat time, i of using infrared light as a therapy. 0ver that time, i was sceptical at the beginning but over that time we have been working on the mechanisms and trying to understand them and the potential use in ageing. and also the potential for age—related diseases for alzheimer's. the culmination of this is the recent clinical trials in humans, this study that is released today relates to ageing, these are middle aged individuals

that used the treatment for about three months. have shown improvements in some facets of their memory. and memory processing. buti need to show that this is in parallel with other studies in the states and elsewhere. the same devices. in mild—to—moderate alzheimer's. so in those cases, again, as with the ageing study, we are and we see quite a dramatic improvement in memory. using a classic scale of memory, the so—called mmse scale, we saw a 20% improvement over an eight—week treatment which was a massive surprise to me. massive effect. this was only a small study, i must emphasise, and...— was only a small study, i must emphasise, and... the people you stud , emphasise, and... the people you study. the — emphasise, and... the people you study, the volunteers, _ emphasise, and... the people you study, the volunteers, they - emphasise, and... the people you study, the volunteers, they do - emphasise, and... the people you study, the volunteers, they do not

has various biological effects, 20 years were, looking at various biological effects that are relevant to ageing and alzheimer's disease, for one thing it causes increased blood flow which is very important, thatis blood flow which is very important, that is one of the key effects, if you like. it also protects neurons, nerve cells, within the brain by protecting against oxidative stress, and also against inflammation which is a key facet of alzheimer's disease. and as well as that, in our research studies, we did show actually that the treatment reduced amyloid load which is a very important pathological element of alzheimer's disease. t’m important pathological element of alzheimer's disease.— important pathological element of alzheimer's disease. i'm so sorry to interru tt alzheimer's disease. i'm so sorry to interrupt you- _ alzheimer's disease. i'm so sorry to interrupt you- i— alzheimer's disease. i'm so sorry to interrupt you. i do _ alzheimer's disease. i'm so sorry to interrupt you. i do want _ alzheimer's disease. i'm so sorry to interrupt you. i do want to - alzheimer's disease. i'm so sorry to interrupt you. i do want to bring - alzheimer's disease. i'm so sorry to interrupt you. i do want to bring in i interrupt you. i do want to bring in doctor susan, director of research at alzheimer's research uk. listening to what was said about this study, albeit on patients without alzheimer's, how hopeful are

you based on what he says that this is a treatment that could work and be effective in helping patients who currently have dementia to alleviate their symptoms?— currently have dementia to alleviate their symptoms? well, i think these are intriguing _ their symptoms? well, i think these are intriguing findings _ their symptoms? well, i think these are intriguing findings but _ their symptoms? well, i think these are intriguing findings but i - their symptoms? well, i think these are intriguing findings but i think - are intriguing findings but i think there _ are intriguing findings but i think there are — are intriguing findings but i think there are a couple of caveats. the first is _ there are a couple of caveats. the first is this — there are a couple of caveats. the first is this particular study was not done — first is this particular study was not done in people affected by dementia so we don't know whether the effects— dementia so we don't know whether the effects seen in this study had been _ the effects seen in this study had been or— the effects seen in this study had been or would be replicated. i know there _ been or would be replicated. i know there have — been or would be replicated. i know there have been small pilots in people — there have been small pilots in people affected by dementia and i think what the next step needs to be done is _ think what the next step needs to be done is to— think what the next step needs to be done is to be sure this is a treatment that could work as larger studies _ treatment that could work as larger studies in _ treatment that could work as larger studies in a — treatment that could work as larger studies in a broader population and also understanding whether a treatment like this has a sustained effect _ treatment like this has a sustained effect as— treatment like this has a sustained effect as well. i think those are things— effect as well. i think those are things that need to be done in order to show— things that need to be done in order to show that this is a treatment that works _ to show that this is a treatment that works for people affected by

alzheimer's disease in particular but also parkinson's disease as well. with dementia as well. there is some scope there, certainly, for that. increased trials, funding, i will back up what my colleague has said. we need significant uplift in funding because this is not going to go away, this is a really major problem, up to 1,000,000 individuals with alzheimer's disease just in the uk. we do need new strategies and art strategies is a multi— target strategy which is what you need to deal with a complex disease. you cannot do it with a single target therapy. you need multi— target therapy. you need multi— target therapy and that is basically what this method does, it gives you a multi— target therapy. this method does, it gives you a multi- target therapy.— this method does, it gives you a multi- target therapy. thank you both so much — multi- target therapy. thank you both so much for— multi- target therapy. thank you both so much for your _ multi- target therapy. thank you both so much for your time - multi- target therapy. thank you both so much for your time this i both so much for your time this morning and good luck with your

work. today marks one month since the volcano in the spanish island of la palma first erupted. it has seen streams of lava destroyed homes and buildings right across the canary island. the president there has said there was no immediate end in sight to the eruption which has seen 7,000 people evacuated from their homes and it has destroyed almost 2,000 buildings. the lava has emptied villages before it reached the sea ten days after it first erupted but new streams of lava have appeared since then. you see the gases coming from the volcano. these are live pictures from la palma. ?300,000,000 earmarked for reconstruction on the island which depends mainly on tourism and on its banana plantations. the spanish prime minister is planning to spend whatever money is needed to reconstruct this marvellous island. time for some to be nostalgic. if

you are over a certain age this tune will almost certainly give you that unmistakable sunday night feeling. that is of course the theme to the bbc one detective drama bergerac. it was first broadcast a0 years ago. the bbc archive is marking the occasion by releasing a stash of photographs which were taking during the show 's ten—year run on the island ofjersey. we have been looking back. it was in 1981 that a new tv series broughtjersey to television screens across the world. there's a host of programmes coming soon. 15 million viewers regularly tuned in in britain alone giving a massive boost to tourism. set on the beautiful island ofjersey, there is bergerac, a new detective series starring john nettles. you're an obsessional man. yeah — the bbc first came and said, can we use the old courthouse? we weren't sort of rubbing our hands and saying, "oh, this

is going to be great", because it might have been a failure, for all we knew. we didn't know what it was about. i reckon it's put business up by 50%. everywhere you go now, there's bergerac bars, . bergerac restaurants. bergerac t—shirts, even bergerac aftershave, i believe. _ i haven't seen any money from that. the more we can do, i in a way, for the island, the more they will help us to make our programmel it was compulsive viewing when it was on air. and i thinkjersey was a character in itself. it was this unique place where not a lot of people knew a lot about it, so that gave the writers a carte blanche to create what they wanted. the series also made a household name out of its main star. the actorjohn nettles, who plays bbc tv detective john bergerac, is in hospital in jersey with a suspected broken hip. mr nettles fell off a bicycle. and also, it's turned you into a sex symbol, hasn't it? yes, this is amazing. yes, yes. i can count my success with women on the fingers of one hand. well, i think i'm a bit old to have sex symbols, but i like him! -

oh, i think he's marvellous. now, a0 years on since the start of the series, the bbc archive has revealed unseen images from its photo library. we've got a lot of images that have never been seen. we have only recently been able to have the technology to be able to scan images properly and to be able to distribute them in the way that we would like to. and now, to celebrate the a0th anniversary, they're remastering a classic episode for islanders to see in high definition very soon. it's fantastic that you guys are digitising it and giving it that treatment, because i think that gives people the opportunity to really see and appreciate quite how fantastic that show really was. and brian is confident his production company will see a new series of bergerac on our screens soon. there is so much work going on behind the

scenes that unfortunately we can't talk about, but it's very much, watch this space. i think what's important really is that the crime is fictional and the scenery is for real. richard latto, bbc news. time now for a look at the weather. let's get the latest with carol kirkwood. you have some stunning pictures to show us. and they are absolutely stunning? good morning. this was taken by one of our weather watchers, it is the northern the story for all of us today, it is going to be cloudy, wet, murky, helpful go around. a little bit of sunshine but the common denominator for all of us is it will be very mild. you see that represented here by the amber colours on the chart. temperatures tomorrow go down a touch but on thursday, look at the blue hue indicating it will feel

much colder. it will not last terribly long, by the weekend temperatures picking up again. we have had a lot of rain coming from the west over night. pushing north and east, some of that already heavy, there is more to come. a lot of cloud, the rain eventually pulling away from northern ireland. moving some showers in its wake, it should brighten up, the rain at not getting into the south—east, we had some this morning but it is clearing stop wet afternoon in scotland, breezy, watch out for excess surface water and spray on the roads. riding up water and spray on the roads. riding up in northern ireland, heavy bursts of rain across north—west england, wales and the south—west. we push further east, variable amounts of cloud, where the club breaks in the south—east, temperatures could reach 21 but generally speaking, looking at 13- 18 , the 21 but generally speaking, looking at 13— 18 , the average at this stage in october is roughly 12 in the north, 15 in the south. throughout this evening and overnight, the rain getting into the south—east, later we see further

heavy showers into the north—west, and wales, heading to the midlands, gusty winds through the channel and areas adjacent to the english channel. a lot of dry weather with a peppe" channel. a lot of dry weather with a pepper of showers affecting the north and west and again it is not going to be cold. tomorrow morning we say goodbye to the rain early on, these showers which will be heavy and boundary pushing north eastwards. behind that we see dry conditions. ahead of them, dry conditions. ahead of them, dry conditions with some showers but later, heavy showers again, pulling backin later, heavy showers again, pulling back in across the south—west. temperatures lower than today. still relatively mild for the time of year. i want to point out this weather front, year. i want to point out this weatherfront, a cold front, going to change the weather. 0vernight, slipping south, eventually clearing the south—east through the course of the south—east through the course of the morning. a lot of dry weather behind it. look at the wind direction, coming the north—west, gusty, some gales and wintry showers on the hills. and feeling much colder, especially so in that wind.

the human race and throughout the uk. this is bbc news, these are the headlines in the uk and around the world... plans to end the sale of new gas boilers in the uk by 2035. grants of £5,000 will be given to households to switch to heat pumps. it is part of the uk government should have plan to reach net zero carbon emissions by 2050. the prime minister urges investors to put their cash into british efforts in this area. igrate their cash into british efforts in this area. ~ ., their cash into british efforts in this area. . ., . their cash into british efforts in this area. . . . ., :: , this area. we have cut c0 two x 4096 on 1992 levels _ this area. we have cut c0 two x 4096 on 1992 levels in _ this area. we have cut c0 two x 4096 on 1992 levels in this _ this area. we have cut c0 two x 4096 on 1992 levels in this country, - this area. we have cut c0 two x 4096 on 1992 levels in this country, and i on 1992 levels in this country, and yet the uk economy has grown over that period by 78%. yet the uk economy has grown over that period by 7896.— that period by 7896. would you consider replacing _ that period by 7896. would you consider replacing your - that period by 7896. would you | consider replacing your existing boiler with a heat pump and what else are you doing around your home
