tonight at 10: the government sets out plans on how the uk is to cut its greenhouse gas emissions. the ambition, to be carbon neutral by 2050. there'll be grants for electric vehicles, and incentives for the car industry, to go green. but some, want more substance. we have a new plan for getting to net zero and it looks like a more comprehensive one but what we don't have, sadly, is all of the detail on how it's going to be delivered. there are also proposals for england and wales to replace boilers with heat pumps. but that will be expensive, and there are warnings low—income households will need extra support. also tonight... sexual abuse claims against the late

labour peer, lord janner. a damning report says children were let down by the police and state. the elder brother of the manchester arena bomber salman abedi leaves the uk, despite being ordered to appear at the inquiry into the attack. and a month on from the la palma volcano spewing lava, experts say they have no idea when eruptions will end. and coming up in the sport, on the bbc news channel... two wins from two for scotland sees them on the verge of making the super 12s stage of the men's t20 world cup. good evening. the government has set out its plans for how the uk is to achieve a net zero—carbon economy by 2050. that means it would no longer be adding to the total

amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, within three decades. the plan is that anything that does produce greenhouse gases, like industrial processes and aircraft, those emissions would be offset by measures to absorb carbon dioxide, including planting more trees. the proposals also include grants for electric cars and support for the automotive industry, and come just 12 days before world leaders gather in glasgow, for a crucial summit on climate change. labour says the government's plans are inadequate. here's our science editor, david shukman. every aspect of life is going to have to change as we go zero carbon. and now, after a long delay, the government is laying out its plans. and the key to it all is a belief that new green technologies will quickly become cheaper. 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'll be able, one day, to bring down the prices

of green technology, evs and heat pumps and solar panels, in a way that we so rapidly made microwaves and mobile phones affordable. there's money to support electric cars and charging points, and car—makers will be told to sell a set number of clean vehicles. hydrogen gets a push, especially for heavy industry. it is a clean fuel, depending on how the gas is produced. and there's backing for new nuclear power stations, including at this site in suffolk, but the details aren't settled and critics say that none of this goes far enough. there is still a chasm with this government between the rhetoric and the reality. my fear is this plan will not deliver the fair, prosperous transition we need, equal to the scale of the emergency we face. it's very disappointing. we have a climate emergency and a lot of these actions are not

going to see the light of day for years. we need to be acting now, be far more ambitious. amid all the arguments about tackling climate change, the goal is to reach net zero, but what is that? well, like every country, the uk emits carbon dioxide — the gas that's driving up temperatures. it comes from heating our homes, getting around, generating power. it's meant to fall dramatically by 2050, but if we don't get down to literally zero, we'll have to compensate by pulling carbon dioxide out of the air. the easiest way to do that is planting trees, but on a far bigger scale than we do right now. with solar panels on the roofs and everything well insulated, this green business park in bristol is an example of lower—carbon living. cycling is made as easy as possible. so, what do people make of the government plan to go green? i think that some people are quite privileged -

and that they can spend that money — and, honestly, it's well worth - it — but it'sjust... it's not available for everyone, which is another huge issue. . if i knew the outcome, the ins and out, the beginning, middle and end, and the outcome of what exactly i'm paying for — would actually stand for — i would, 100%, as long as it was beneficial to the children of tomorrow, i'd make that sacrifice. an obvious measure is better insulation. many experts want this given a bigger push. and the government's independent climate adviser says more needs to be spelled out. it's not a triple gold star. i mean, it's important to say that. we have a new plan for getting to net zero, and it looks like it's a more comprehensive one, but what we don't have, sadly, is all of the detail on how it's going to be delivered. the government was running out of time to announce its policies. hosting the cop26 climate summit in glasgow next month, it is in the global spotlight. so, promising action isn't enough. david shukman, bbc news.

more than a fifth of the uk's green house gas emissions come from heating buildings, like homes and offices. so from next april, the government will be offering households in england and wales a subsidy to help meet the cost of replacing gas fired boilers, with low carbon heat pumps. but what are they, and how much do they cost? well, it depends on the type and size of your home. at the moment they're expensive, anything from between £6,000 and £18,000. but the government will give households £5,000 to help bring the price down, with £450 million in all being set aside, over the next three years. however, that only covers the installation of 90,000 pumps. there are currently 25 million homes with gas boilers. with more analysis, here's our consumer affairs correspondent, colletta smith. final checks on a newly—installed boiler, and like the vast majority of homes, this one runs on gas.

installing a heat pump instead would mean some big changes which engineerjames says most of his customers don't have the money or the time to do. it would take more than a day to install so you've got two days labour over one. you've got the changes to the rest of the house. you're probably going to need somewhere to store a lot more water. more radiators, or bigger radiators, to get the same level of heat in that room. you've got to consider something on the outside of your property, as well as the inside. tom had just forked out for a new home when he needed to replace the boiler, so even with an extra five grand from the government, there was no way he could have matched that with his own cash. you may want to make a greener decision, but you're limited by cost, i suppose. across the street, 91—year—old lottie made the same choice. she got a new gas boiler because it was cheapest. not everybody's got that. it cost me over 2,000i for this, only last year, so it's draining your bit

of savings, you see. i heat pumps work by taking warmth from the ground or the air, squashing it, which makes it hotter, and then pumping it round your house. margaret and john fitted an air—sourced pump to their home in anglesey, and she's delighted with the results. oh, my goodness, the difference it makes! absolutely fantastic. yes, it reduces our running costs, but it is costly to do it. it's good that the government is waving a little tiny green flag. it is not enough. the government says the cost of heat pumps will come down over the next few years. i think it's a good first step to see government pumping some money into getting heat pumps into more people's homes but as well as clean heat we need warm homes and that is what energy efficiency does. we all know that for the whole country to cut emissions, we'll need to change our trains and our buses and even the cars we drive, but lots of people haven't clocked that to cut around a fifth

of our emissions, the change will have to take place right here, in the heart of every household. james thinks the effort of installing insulation and new radiators would put most people off. once they see the transformation that would have to go on and the upheaval that would need to be done in an existing property, then it becomes, "right, well, it's maybe not me, then." every home is different, so there's no easy solution — but despite this extra money, the government still need homeowners to be willing and able to pay for the change. colletta smith, bbc news, in pontefract. 0ur political correspondent, alex forsyth, is at westminster for us tonight. these are big plans from the government and they don't go far enough for some but they are still pretty big plans to get to know zero, who is paying ultimately for all this? ? net zero.— all this? ? net zero. these plans have been _ all this? ? net zero. these plans have been published _ all this? ? net zero. these plans have been published less - all this? ? net zero. these plans have been published less than . have been published less than two

weeks before the prime minister will be hosting world leaders at the crucial climate summit in glasgow because boris johnson crucial climate summit in glasgow because borisjohnson would like to point to the strategy, but there are questions, does it go far enough, fast enough? 0n the question of cost, cost to the treasury but also households up and down the country. borisjohnson households up and down the country. boris johnson says households up and down the country. borisjohnson says the shift households up and down the country. boris johnson says the shift towards a greener way of living does not have to be painful, the government is not going to compel people overnight to install heat pumps or by electric vehicles but they hope by electric vehicles but they hope by providing grants and subsidies it would encourage people to make changes and it will kick—start private investment which ultimately makes these things easier and cheaper but the treasury has published its analysis today and it is much more blunt when it comes to the cost implications. it talks about the impact on public finances and possible changes to the tax system and there are nerves on the tory benches about whether this is affordable for households around the country and so the prime minister might want to hold this plan and say the uk is leading the way forward

but he has to find a way to take people with him. he has set out the ambition but now the test is the delivery. ambition but now the test is the delive . . ., ., , a public inquiry has found "multiple failures" by police, prosecutors and council officials, resulted in child abuse allegations against the late labour peer, lord janner, were not being properly investigated. he died in 2015, facing criminal charges over incidents spanning three decades, relating to nine people who'd been in children's homes. our home affairs correspondent, tom symonds, has more details. greville — later lord — janner, mp for leicester. well—known, a keen magician, a man who was repeatedly accused of sexually abusing children. you thought it was black and white, didn't you? you haven't a clue, have you? i haven't a clue! one of the first was mark who, in 1991, told police lord janner had assaulted him as a child. it was like being embarrassed,

feeling dirty, and it's something you wanted to keep private. the scars, you can't get rid of, you know, knowing that if it had gone to court, you would have had yourjustice. there were two key moments which prevented that, according to the report. in 2000, police didn't pass the statements of mark and another man to prosecutors. that was "serious and inexcusable", the inquiry found. in 2006, a prosecutor decided not to push ahead with the investigation, a decision which was "unsound and strategically flawed". this is very recent history. it's not 50, 60 years ago. it would never be acceptable. but we're talking about. investigations that failed to properly pursue multiple - allegations of child sexual abuse, on the basis that they were children in care and wouldn't— be ta ken seriously. lord janner wasn't arrested, he remained an mp, and he wasn't charged for nearly a decade —

by which point, he was too ill to stand trial. he died shortly afterwards. justice wasn't done. not for the accusers or the accused. no trial, and alleged victims abandoned attempts to sue in the civil courts. lord janner and his family had no opportunity to mount a defence. his son, daniel, said the report... but leicestershire police directed its response at the alleged victims. i'd like to start off with an apology to the victims involved in this case and also to commend their bravery, their bravery for coming forward, and we should've secured the charges against lord jannerfar earlier than we did. lord janner always denied the allegations, but because attempts to get to the bottom of them were "shut down" — in this inquiry�*s words — the truth can never now be established beyond doubt.

tom symonds, bbc news, at the child abuse inquiry. the elder brother of the manchester arena suicide bomber has left the uk, ahead of an appearance at a public inquiry he'd been ordered to attend. ismail abedi, who's 28, had always refused to answer questions from the inquiry into the attack, which killed 22 people in 2017. 0ur north of england correspondent, judith moritz, has that story. judith moritz: ismail, bbc news. can i ask you a few questions, please, ismail? this is the last sighting of ismail abedi, when i tracked him down in manchester a year ago. why won't you help the inquiry, ismail? why won't you speak to the inquiry? he wasn't prepared to answer my questions then, and he's also refused to co—operate with the public inquiry into the arena bombing. the bomber�*s brother has been ordered to appear at court this week, but that now seems highly unlikely. we understand that he is not currently in the country and there is no indication as to when he will return.

ismail abedi clearly has important evidence to give to the inquiry and we urge him today, sir, to make contact with the inquiry legal team — either directly, or through his own legal representatives. as he surely must understand, if he does not do so, the public may infer that he has something to hide and so, sir, may you. ismail abedi was arrested on the day after the attack, in 2017. he was found to possess extremist propaganda, but was released without charge. last year, greater manchester police said they were still investigating ismail abedi and were going to make further attempts to speak to him. but the bbc understands that a few weeks ago, he left the uk, on a flight to the middle east, and some of the families bereaved by the arena bombing have told us they're furious that he's been able to go abroad. a friend of salman abedi's, ahmed taghdi, has been ordered to appear too, but has also refused to comply with the court so far.

unfortunately, he attempted to leave the country yesterday and, as a result, was arrested, so we have a high degree of confidence that he will attend the hearing on thursday. a convicted terrorist, abdalraouf abdallah, who is alleged to have radicalised salman abedi, has also been ordered to appear at the inquiry. tomorrow, it's expected that he'll be brought to court from prison to face questions. judith moritz, bbc news, manchester. the government's latest coronavirus figures show there were 43,738 new infections recorded, in the latest 24—hour period, which means there were almost 115,000 cases on average per day, in the past week. the number of people in hospital with covid is rising again — it's now 7,749. there were another 223 deaths —

that's of people who died within 28 days of a positive test, and that's the highest daily figure since the middle of march. on average, there were 130 deaths per day in the past week. 0ur health editor hugh pym is here. fight make those death figures are climbing, highest since the middle of march. —— and those death figures are claiming the stop how much concern? mil are claiming the stop how much concern? �* , _ '::f ., ., concern? all rising by 1096 or more, hospitalisation _ concern? all rising by 1096 or more, hospitalisation figures, _ concern? all rising by 1096 or more, hospitalisation figures, debt - hospitalisation figures, debt figures, and that is why downing street came out today and said it was keeping a close eye on rates. at the cabinet said it had not yet gone to plan b, introducing more mask wearing and working from home. tonight health organisation represent in a lot of groups, nhs katmai confederation, said that plan b is needed right now if the nhs is to have any luck and actually reducing the backlog, and again it is this rather uncertain background. the head of nhs england amanda

pritchard said earlier by answering questions about the boosterjabs that everyone eligible six months after their second dose was being invited, but the take—up had been a bit slower than it should have been and she is urging everyone eligible to come forward.— to come forward. thanks. many thanks, hugh — to come forward. thanks. many thanks, hugh pym. _ romania has reported its worst daily death figures so far in the coronavirus pandemic, 574. the country is seeing one of the worst outbreaks in the european union, as a proportion of its population, amid concern over low vaccination rates. just over one in three adults in romania are double—jabbed. the mayor of moscow has announced four months of tougher restrictions as russia experiences a surge in coronavirus infections. from monday, the over 60s and those with chronic illnesses will have to stay at home. those who have been vaccinated or who've had covid in the last six months are exempt. businesses have also been told that 30% of their staff must work from home.

now, after much speculation about the take—up of covid vaccinations among professional footballers, the premier league has released details saying more than two thirds of players have been double—jabbed. last month the sports minister, nigel huddlestone, said there may be some footballers unwilling to get vaccinated due to misinformation online. several high profile players had also decided not to reveal their vaccine status. here's our sports editor, dan roan. the premier league season may be in full flow, but persuading footballers to get vaccinated has proved a challenge, with rates trailing behind other top sports. professorjonathan van—tam has led the fight against covid — and today, here at boston united, the lifelong fan of the club told me why it's so crucial that top players getjabbed. i'm mad about football. you know, most of this country is mad about football, and they are role models. whether they like it or not, they are role models, particularly for young adults,

and for children and young people. and so what they say and do really matters. we don't want, you know, any more squads that are short, that can't fulfil fixtures, because half of them have got covid. liverpool bossjurgen klopp's expressed frustration with unvaccinated footballers, but today, after weeks of secrecy, the premier league revealed 68% of players are now fully protected, with 81% having had at least one jab. well, that's brilliant. i mean, that's a massive leap forward, isn't it, from where we were? and i can say here, that at boston united, of the total players and support staff, 90% now are double—vaccinated. so we're in a very strong position, and i've had the privilege of vaccinating a couple of the players myself. despite the recent improvement, football here still lags behind top us professional sports, where full vaccination rates are above 90%, and unprotected athletes have been subject to stricter protocols. why do you think it's taking longer

here in the premier league? i worry about, you know, the influence of social media and the influence of untrusted sources. of course it's disappointing when you see things like that, but i think the latest data that you've just given me on the premier league show that that tide is now very clearly turning. but what about the fans? from this week, in scotland, those going to events with over 10,000 attending have to have been vaccinated. these celtic supporters this afternoon, the first to be asked for proof before entering. so could it happen in england? it's clearly out there as an option, inasmuch that scotland has now already applied that rule. you know, i think we have to see what this winter is going to bring us. it could be very difficult. in tennis, meanwhile, unvaccinated players are unlikely to be allowed to take part injanuary�*s australian open. defending champion novak djokovic, who's refused to reveal if he's been jabbed,

today expressing doubts he'll play. for the sporting elite, this issue not going away. dan roan, bbc news. let's take a look at some of the day's other top stories now. police investigating the killing of sir david amess have been gathering cctv footage from shops and businesses, near the home of the main suspect. images from a convenience store in north london, show a man believed to be ali harbi ali, who's in custody, walking towards a train station. officers have until friday to question the 25—year—old. a 67—year—old man has gone on trial, over the plane crash that killed the argentinian footballer, emiliano sala, in 2019. cardiff crown court heard how david henderson, who's from east riding of yorkshire, organised the flight, which came down in bad weather, "for financial interest". he denies the charge of endangering the safety of an aircraft. food and drink firms are seeing "terrifying" price rises, a sector trade body has said, warning of a knock—on effect for consumers.

the food and drink federation said that inflation is between 14% and 18% for hospitality firms amid rising wage, energy and commodity costs. the uk's rate of inflation was 3.2% in august and is expected to rise further. the cabinet minister michael gove had to be escorted by police in westminster this afternoon after anti—lockdown demonstrators attempted to surround him in the street. footage shared on social media showed mr gove being surrounded by officers after protesters approached him and began shouting. the met police said there had been no arrests following the incident, but will review the footage. it's a month since a volcano on one of spain's canary islands erupted, forcing thousands of people to leave their homes. now experts say they have no idea when eruptions will end. lava is still spewing on la palma, with close to 2,000 buildings destroyed. 0ur correspondent danjohnson is in la palma for us tonight. dan, over to you. yes, more than 7000 people — dan, over to you. yes, more than

7000 people out of _ dan, over to you. yes, more than 7000 people out of their- dan, over to you. yes, more than i 7000 people out of their homes with a huge exclusion zone in place here to keep people safe. the miracle so far is that no one has been injured or killed, but the volcano keeps erupting, there is more and more seismic activity, stronger earth tremors, ash up into the sky and across all the streets and buildings here and the lava continues to pour, causing havoc. the question everyone is asking, and ifeel i am repeating myself and they feel they are too, they want to know how much longer will this go on for? it still has the capacity to attract and enthrall, but after a month it's become an overbearing backdrop to much of life here. an incredible spectacle with its own mundane chores. ryan does this once a week. "maybe it doesn't affect you directly," he says, "but a family member or someone you know." translation: i want it to end. it's not too worrying for me but it is for my family and in the meanwhile,

we just have to live with it. this kind of strong mentality that they say, "it doesn't matter what comes, we go through it, and go forward." lucas isn't going forward. this is what happened to the house he lived in for 60 years. his wife cannot bear to watch. translation: | cannot put| into words, losing the house that should have been for my children and grandchildren. it's a miracle we have this flat because i know people are sleeping in cars and tents and caravans. there is no sign of this eruption easing at all, and in fact, if anything, the volcano only gets more active and it's actually grown over the weeks as the layers of lava have built up and hardened, but there is still fresh lava pouring down the hillside as well, destroying more farmland, homes and villages, and there are new fires breaking out all the time. there are amazing survival stories.

these dogs have been fed by drone for four weeks and now there's an attempt to use one to rescue them. but there is little hope for the home is still in the wake of the lava. in the way of the lava. and the longer it flows, the further it reaches, smothering more of this island. danjohnson, bbc news, la palma. liverpool and manchester city have been in action tonight, in the champions league, with both their games producing 11 goals. andy swiss was watching. so who's for a champions league thriller? well, liverpool and atletico madrid were, as liverpool raced into a 2—0 lead. a shot from mo sala with a hefty deflection, and one from naby keita that certainly didn't. atletico and the spanish

champions for nothing, and back they roared, two goals from antoine griezmann — 2—2 at the break. and after, the drama continued. a high boot and griezmann was sent off. and when liverpool or he later reported a penalty, salah cooly made it 3— 2. then atletico were given a penalty, only for the referee to consult the video and change his mind. victory for liverpool in about the most eventful way possible. earlier, there had been in then canyon master class, as city blazed past bruges. foden�*s pinpoint pass picking out cancelo with impressive results. and it's tapped out brilliantly! that there was just the start, after extending their lead from the penalty spot, city crews clear after the break, courtesy of kyle walker and then 19—year—old cole palmer, just moments after coming on, how is that for an entrance? and although bruges pulled one back,

mahrez rounded things off considerably thumping style. 5—1 to city, and some statement. andy swiss, bbc news. that's it from us. have a very good night. good evening. i'm asad ahmad. as the debate over the safety of politicans continues, it's well, it's been a very strange day for many of us. blustery winds, but feeling quite warm, too. temperatures got up to 21 degrees in east anglia and the south east. still hovering around 17 at midnight tonight. and there's some rain on the way, too. in fact, some of that rain could be quite heavy this evening and overnight in east anglia and the south east. clear spells in the north means that the temperatures will dip away, perhaps to single figures in northern ireland and parts of scotland. but the nights across wales and much of england will still be very, very mild. now, tomorrow, it's going to be a changeable day. we have sunny spells in the forecast, but also bursts of heavy rain. and, in fact, thunderstorms possible across areas of england and wales during the course of the morning and into the afternoon. another very mild day

for many of us tomorrow, but come thursday, it's all change. the winds will swing direction. they'll be coming in from the north, a cold wind, a strong wind, and those temperatures are set to tumble thursday.
