tax, which tonne of carbon dioxide tax, which will then make everything really, really expensive. or we can focus on telling oil companies and coal companies and carbon producers that this is what they have to do if they want to operate in our country. so that obligation is placed on the companies so that if they have the technology to bring carbon out of the ground, they have to find and develop the technology, which they all do now already have, they developed the technology to put the carbon back into the ground. and that cost of putting the carbon into the ground ultimately will be paid by small increases of price to us, the consumers. because at the moment, we are effectively behaving as if instead of putting our rubbish in wheelie bins and having it taken away by the council, that is the smart thing to do, what we are presently all doing is having our carbon dioxide and just dumping it in the street outside our house so we are not paying the true price of
4:31 pm
clearing up the consequences of our carbon habits. it is very doable and you can do it almost invisibly. it's a good starter for ten on almost invisibly. it's a good starterfor ten on an almost invisibly. it's a good starter for ten on an issue we will talk and talk a lot about over the next few weeks. thank you for your time. we are still waiting for boris johnson to appear at the summit in rome. he is about to speak to a press conference. mightjust be about to come the podium. let's take those pictures and see if we can hear from those pictures and see if we can hearfrom him. to those pictures and see if we can hear from him.— those pictures and see if we can hear from him. to act now to halve emissions — hear from him. to act now to halve emissions by _ hear from him. to act now to halve emissions by 2030 _ hear from him. to act now to halve emissions by 2030 and _ hear from him. to act now to halve emissions by 2030 and keep - hear from him. to act now to halve emissions by 2030 and keep 1.5 i emissions by 2030 and keep 1.5 degrees within reach. there are no compelling excuses for our
4:32 pm
procrastination. not only have we acknowledge the problem, we are already seeing first—hand the devastation climate change causes, from heatwaves and droughts and wildfires and hurricanes. and unlike many other global challenges, the solution to climate change is clear, it lies in consigning dirty fossil fuels like coal to history, in ditching gas guzzling modes of transport and recognising the role that nature plays in preserving life on this planet and harnessing the power of nature through renewable energy rather than orchestrating its destruction. if we do not act now, the paris agreement will be looked at in the future not at the moment humanity opens its eyes to the problem but the moment we flinched and turned away. we have seen some progress in the last few days and
4:33 pm
weeks, saudi arabia, australia and russia have all made net zero commitments, we need 80% of the global economy or wipe out its contribution to climate change by the middle of the century, up from 30%, thanks to the uk's six macro leadership. countries such as the united states have doubled their spending on climate aid. —— cop26. every nation at this summit will end support for international unabated coal projects by the end of this year. but these commitments, welcome as they are, are drops in a rapidly warming ocean when you consider the challenge we have all admitted is ahead of us. just 12 g20 members have committed to reach net zero x 20 -- have committed to reach net zero x 20 —— by 2050 or earlier, barely half of us have submitted improved plans how we will halve carbon
4:34 pm
emissions since the paris summit in 2015 and we have also failed to meet our commitments to provide $100 billion a year to support developing countries to grow in a clean and sustainable way. the un says emissions will rise by 15% by 2030 and they need to half by then. the countries most responsible for historic and present—day emissions are not yet doing their fair share of the work. if we are going to prevent co p26 of the work. if we are going to prevent cop26 from being a failure that must change, and i must be clear, if glasgow fails, then the whole thing fails. the paris agreement will have crumpled at the first reckoning. there will�*s only mechanism, viable mechanism, for dealing with climate change holed beneath the water line. right now the paris agreement and the hope that came with it is just a piece of
4:35 pm
paper, we need to fill that piece of paper, we need to fill that piece of paper, to populate it with real progress, and i know that humanity has in it the power to rise to the challenge. the uk has proved it can be done, we have lowered our greenhouse gas emissions by 44% over the last 30 years by reducing our gdp by 30% and we are cutting our contribution to climate change more and more every day. we have made some progress at this g20, we have had a reasonable g20, but there is a huge way still to go. we all know that we have the technology. what we need to do now is to raise the finance but above all really political will in glasgow to make those commitments to keep alive the
4:36 pm
hope of restraining the growth in our temperatures to 1.5 degrees. thank you very much and see you in glasgow. i will now go to questions from the media and i will start with robert preston of itv.— robert preston of itv. prime minister. _ robert preston of itv. prime minister. you _ robert preston of itv. prime minister, you sound - robert preston of itv. prime i minister, you sound extremely robert preston of itv. prime - minister, you sound extremely gloomy about the _ minister, you sound extremely gloomy about the prospects for enough progress — about the prospects for enough progress being made in the next couple _ progress being made in the next couple of— progress being made in the next couple of weeks. to limit global warming — couple of weeks. to limit global warming. you say there has been progress — warming. you say there has been progress by 620 countries but not enough _ progress by 620 countries but not enough. realistically, what more can be done? _ enough. realistically, what more can be done? and separately there has been _ be done? and separately there has been a _ be done? and separately there has been a bit — be done? and separately there has been a bit of confusion today about whether— been a bit of confusion today about whether there has been progress in de—escalating the conflict with france, — de—escalating the conflict with france, how do you see it? de-escalating the conflict with france, how do you see it? thank ou, france, how do you see it? thank you. robert- _ france, how do you see it? thank you, robert. let— france, how do you see it? thank you, robert. let me _ france, how do you see it? thank you, robert. let mejust - france, how do you see it? thank you, robert. let me just say - france, how do you see it? thank you, robert. let me just say first| you, robert. let me just say first of all on where we are with the g20
4:37 pm
of all on where we are with the 620 on climate change, it has been reasonable, i think countries have made a big effort, and we have got commitments by all 620 countries to net zero by the middle of the century and if you remember when the uk started off in this we had only two countries that were committed and that went up to 17 under the uk's cop26 leadership, and we are now at all 620 signed up, everyone is committed to trying to keep 1.5 alive and we have everybody agreeing that from the end of this year no new financing of international coal. but what everybody needs to do now is recognise that there are granular commitments that countries need to make on those for bucket areas of coal, cash, trees and cars.
4:38 pm
otherwise, i'm afraid the increase in temperatures will be considerably in temperatures will be considerably in excess of 1.5 degrees, and that is the challenge, i will not sugar—coat it, i will not pretend it is other than it is. i think there's a chance we can make the progress, everybody can see how to do it, it's a question of will and leadership, but on where we are with our french friends, i want to stress we have had good working with emmanuel macron and his team, fantastic work, on green technology, the french do an extraordinaryjob, as everybody knows, particularly with their power generation systems, there commitments are excellent on nature and their nationally determined contributions, i support what emanuel is doing on his one planet initiative, on fish i will tell you the position is unchanged, and i
4:39 pm
would just say this for the record, i must say i was puzzled to read a letter from the french letterfrom the french prime minister explicitly asking for britain to be punished for leaving the eu. i have to say that i don't believe that is compatible either with the spirit of the letter of the withdrawal agreement or the trade cooperation agreement, that is all i will say about that one. fin cooperation agreement, that is all i will say about that one.— will say about that one. on the communiqu . _ will say about that one. on the communiqu , it— will say about that one. on the communiqu , it says _ will say about that one. on the communiqu , it says net - will say about that one. on the communiqu , it says net zero l will say about that one. on the l communiqu , it says net zero on will say about that one. on the - communiqu , it says net zero on or around _ communiqu , it says net zero on or around 2050, _ communiqu , it says net zero on or around 2050, many think that is too vague _ around 2050, many think that is too vague |_ around 2050, many think that is too vauue. . ., around 2050, many think that is too va . ue. . ., ., around 2050, many think that is too vauue. . . ., , ., vague. i agree, and that is a function _ vague. i agree, and that is a function really _ vague. i agree, and that is a function really of _ vague. i agree, and that is a function really of the - vague. i agree, and that is a function really of the gap . vague. i agree, and that is a - function really of the gap between some colleagues and others, some countries as you know have made commitments to 2060 rather than man 2050. what they have said is 2060 or

4:41 pm
it is their voters, their citizens, and they want us to fix this, and there will be people in glasgow, when the delegations arrive tonight and tomorrow from the g20, when the delegations arrive tonight and tomorrow from the 620, who will be anxious, who will be absolutely desperate for our cop26 to make the progress they want, so i think the pressure on the world is enormous, i hope that they will agree, but as i stand before you again tonight, as i said to you when we came out here to rome, laura, ithink said to you when we came out here to rome, laura, i think we have made reasonable progress at the g20, rome, laura, i think we have made reasonable progress at the 620, all things considered, but it is not enough. things considered, but it is not enou:h. �* ., things considered, but it is not enou:h. . ., , ., things considered, but it is not enou:h. . ., ., enough. and what did you say to resident enough. and what did you say to president macron? _ enough. and what did you say to president macron? we _ enough. and what did you say to president macron? we had - enough. and what did you say to president macron? we had a - president macron? we had a wide-ranging _ president macron? we had a wide-ranging and _ president macron? we had a wide-ranging and frank - president macron? we had a - wide-ranging and frank discussion as wide—ranging and frank discussion as you would expect between long—standing friends and very close allies. thanks, let's go to peter

4:43 pm
don't think people doubt the uk's commitments on foreign aid. on fossilfuels in motor vehicles and taxes, what the uk is actually doing is giving way out ahead of the pack in getting rid of hydrocarbon internal combustion engine vehicles by 2030, and we set the pace for that, we were ahead of the rest of the eu, that is the really important thing. and i think also when it comes to the credibility of the uk people can see what we have done, cut co2 emissions by almost half. and our economy grew by 78%, and we are committed under this ndc to do 68% cuts by... that is a very
4:44 pm
punchy target indeed. and people know we can do it, and they know we are determined to do it, and they can see the progress we have made. without being preachy or sounding virtuous, we can point to a pretty impressive record by the uk and indeed i had a bit of that in the room this afternoon.— indeed i had a bit of that in the room this afternoon. boris johnson talkin: to room this afternoon. boris johnson talking to the _ room this afternoon. boris johnson talking to the assembled _ room this afternoon. boris johnson talking to the assembled press - room this afternoon. boris johnson i talking to the assembled press there in rome, a couple of interesting things. his comments on the communiqu that has come out of the g20 this communiqu that has come out of the 620 this afternoon, the good party says everyone agrees to keep 1.5 celsius alive but he agreed with the comments of the reporters that there is talk of net zero on or around 2050 is too vague and the stakes could not be higher in glasgow, if
4:45 pm
the whole thing fails he said the paris agreement will have been holed beneath the water line, that is what is at stake here, paris was about the what and glasgow's about the how, how do you put the policies behind the promises that these countries have made? let's bring backin countries have made? let's bring back in our correspondence. as robert said, he did sound quite gloomy but i suppose some of that will be intentional, if you set the bar low, then obviously in two weeks' time you can go high if you get more promises from the countries gathered. i get more promises from the countries cathered. ~ , get more promises from the countries cathered. ~' , ,., ., gathered. i think there is some of that, that he _ gathered. i think there is some of that, that he wants _ gathered. i think there is some of that, that he wants to _ gathered. i think there is some of that, that he wants to spur- gathered. i think there is some of that, that he wants to spur the i that, that he wants to spur the wider forum that, that he wants to spur the widerforum of that, that he wants to spur the wider forum of the glasgow conference, almost 200 world leaders represented there, to be more ambitious, to go further and faster than the g20, ambitious, to go further and faster than the 620, the 20 largest economies have done. he said there had been reasonable g20
4:46 pm
economies have done. he said there had been reasonable 620 but that there was a huge way to go and in terms of what the g20 there was a huge way to go and in terms of what the 620 has achieved in terms of committing to out financing of coal, pursuing efforts to limit global warming at 1.5 degrees and committing to net zero emissions by or around mid century, he said those were drops in the ocean for the challenges we face. noted the thatjust 12 of the g20 noted the thatjust 12 of the 620 members have committed to net zero by 2050, and there's a of frustration here and among some of the leaders and environmentalists as well, that more countries have not set this net zero goal at 2050, india, russia, china, some of the key and biggest emitters setting that goal of carbon neutrality only at 2060, and that i think is where some of the dispute lay with for example italy that was pushing for a 2050 to be in the final communiqu.
4:47 pm
let me tell you what the un secretary general has tweeted about this g20, secretary general has tweeted about this 620, he said, i leave rome with my hopes unfulfilled but at least they are not buried, onwards to glasgow, and that is their sense here, that there has been a step perhaps in the right direction in terms of the 1.5 degrees, not nearly enough, not enough in terms of the leaders and environmentalists on carbon neutrality, not enough concrete actions, that's where boris johnson will have his work cut out as 620... johnson will have his work cut out as g20... cop26 johnson will have his work cut out as 620... cop26 talks get under way. if the leaders feel bruised by the words of the un secretary general wait till they hear the words from the smaller islands! we have heard from the president of malawi this afternoon who said the $100 billion you promised us, it's not a charity act, pay up or perish with us. there is short shrift _ act, pay up or perish with us. there is short shrift now _ act, pay up or perish with us. there is short shrift now from _ act, pay up or perish with us. there is short shrift now from smaller - is short shrift now from smaller developing nations that the bigger

4:49 pm
2024, we will be and have been for a long time one of the biggest as a percentage of gdp, but the united states of america is way down, for them to get up to 1% of gdp, a serious amount of money, that is unlikely to happen in the short term, but what you can do is use the cash that we are putting in to trigger the private sector investment, that is what needs to happen, so there is a big discussion about money, yes, but we will have to see where we go.— about money, yes, but we will have to see where we go. prime minister, would ou to see where we go. prime minister, would you say _ to see where we go. prime minister, would you say that _ to see where we go. prime minister, would you say that after _ to see where we go. prime minister, would you say that after this - to see where we go. prime minister, would you say that after this 620 - would you say that after this 620 meeting — would you say that after this 620 meeting cop26 has a greater chance

4:51 pm
reasonable position in glasgow, but it will be very difficult in the next few days, but i certainly want to thank the italian government and presidency for all their efforts. thank you very much, everybody, thank you, thank you.— thank you very much, everybody, thank you, thank you. boris johnson wra -|nt thank you, thank you. boris johnson wrapping up — thank you, thank you. boris johnson wrapping up that _ thank you, thank you. boris johnson wrapping up that press _ thank you, thank you. boris johnson wrapping up that press conference i thank you, thank you. boris johnson | wrapping up that press conference in rome and heading here is all those leaders who were present in rome will do. of course there will be no presidency of china or russia, they are not coming, but the bulk of those who were in rome will be coming here to glasgow to take part in this summit. i want to talk about what he said there about procrastination, he said, we need to turn away from dirty fossil fuels, put fossil fuels to history, no question that the uk has been trendsetting in many of the objectives it set out in its net zero plan but there is reporting
4:52 pm
from friends of the earth that there are currently 40 new fossil fuel projects in the pipeline here in the uk, not all of them approved, but together they would amount to about 1.3 billion tonnes of carbon emissions. if you burn all that there is no way you would meet net zero. so what is the point in financing things like that if really what you have to do is leave it in the ground? that is what a lot of people are saying, why are we investing in these dirty technologies that we cannot use when we should put it into carbon capture which we talked about earlier in the hour and into the new technologies that will help us meet the target? the glasgow summit is much about doing more to turn promises into practice and we talk a lot about that target of 1.5 celsius, but what is it really mean? chris morris has outlined the significance of staying below 1.5 degrees of warming. it was the last big international—
4:53 pm
below 1.5 degrees of warming. it was the last big international climate - the last big international climate summit in paris which produced a legally binding treaty with a clear goal, to limit global warming this century to well below two degrees and preferably to 1.5 celsius compared to preindustrial levels. it is important to stress that when we talk about 1.5 degrees of warming we are talking about the increase in the average temperature across the whole planet, it doesn't sound like a lot but some places have already seen much bigger increases, and as the earth warms up extreme weather events are becoming more frequent. climate scientists were alarmed by how extreme some of them have been such as the soaring temperatures in north america's heat dome injune and july this year, smashing previous records. the comparison to preindustrial levels a couple of hundred years ago is also important because nearly all man—made global warming has been caused by our use of fossil fuels, coal, warming has been caused by our use of fossilfuels, coal, oiland warming has been caused by our use of fossilfuels, coal, oil and gas of fossilfuels, coal, oiland gas which of fossilfuels, coal, oil and gas which empowered the industrial age. the transition to renewable energy
4:54 pm
is well under way but it will be really hard to meet the 1.5 degrees target, many experts think it may already be too late to do so. the increasing global temperatures has now reached about 1.1 or above preindustrial levels so if current trends continued we would pass 1.5 degrees sometime in the 20 30s and even after taking into account most of the recent national pledges to cut carbon emissions further the un reckons we could be heading for 2.7 degrees of warming by the end of the century with catastrophic consequences. that is why there is now such a concerted push for action and the difference between 1.5 and two degrees may not sound like much but the intergovernmental panel on climate change has said 1.5 and served two degrees would mean among other things 10 million fewer people losing their homes to rising sea levels, potentially preventing low—lying island countries from disappearing altogether, it would limit the loss of coral reefs of
4:55 pm
endangered species and of arctic sea ice and there would be roughly 50% fewer people around the world struggling to find fresh water. even at 1.5 degrees there will be big changes to our climate but one of the main goals in glasgow is to keep the main goals in glasgow is to keep the target firmly within reach, and to do that the world needs to halve greenhouse gas emissions over the next decade and reach net zero emissions by the middle of the century. that all means huge and rapid changes to the way societies and companies operate, and this is the decade when those changes will have to start happening. yes. the decade when those changes will have to start happening.— have to start happening. yes, we need to make — have to start happening. yes, we need to make deep _ have to start happening. yes, we need to make deep inroads - have to start happening. yes, we need to make deep inroads into i have to start happening. yes, we - need to make deep inroads into those emissions over the next eight years and we will talk more about that in the course of the next hour. stay with us because on that next hour we will talk to the prime minister of sweden who willjoin us here on our set and we will talk to him about greta thunberg and the pressures —— pledges that sweden have made in their new contribution.
4:56 pm
hello there. it's been a very stormy start to our sunday, widespread gales, very heavy rainfall, some localised flooding in places. the rain band has become more confined towards the northern half of scotland through the afternoon and it's brightened up to the south of it for much of england and wales, northern ireland, but it will stay very windy with gales and some heavy and blustery showers. here's the culprit, then, this area of low pressure, a deep low, spreading its way northwards, lots of isobars on the chart on its southern flank in particular, which is why it's going to stay very windy with gales across southern and western england and across wales. plenty of showers as well, some of these merging together to produce longer spells of rain through this evening and overnight. the rain band across northern scotland pivots round to effect much of western scotland,
4:57 pm
perhaps back into northern ireland for a while, but there will be some clear spells developing, particularly across the south of the country, and here it will turn cooler, certainly cooler than what we have had the last few nights, temperatures 6—9 degrees for many of us. so, for monday, then, the 1st of november, we've still got our area of low pressure, but it's sitting to the north of the uk. still lots of isobars on the chart on its southern flank, so another windy day across the board, really. there will be some sunshine around but also further showers merging together to produce longer spells of rain through central and northern parts of the country. scattered showers across southern and western areas but also some good spells of sunshine here. it's going to be another windy day — these our wind gusts, up to 50 mph across western scotland and the hebrides. temperature wise, perhaps a degree or so down with highs of 13 or 14 degrees across southern areas, 9—11 across the north. now, around the middle part of the week, this area of low pressure pushes away northwards and opens the floodgates to a northerly arctic airflow for a while. so it's going to be turning colder
4:58 pm
around the middle part of the week, both by day and by night. you can see those blue colours invading right across the uk, but it will be fairly short lived. into the following weekend, it looks like milder and more unsettled weather returns off the atlantic. for tuesday, then, the winds will be lighter, it's a quieter day. there should be more sunshine around, particularly through inland areas and across the south. coastal showers continue across northern and western areas, and those temperatures much lower, 9—11 or 12 degrees. it looks like the showers continue through the week but become fewer and further between. a lot of dry weather and some sunshine, but it will stay cold, both by day and by night.
5:00 pm
today at five: we're in glasgow, where the biggest summit meeting ever held in the uk is already under way. the summit is widely seen as the last chance to save the planet from irreversible damage caused by climate change. earlier the leaders of the world's richest nations were meeting in rome, where the climate challenge was spelled out clearly. as it is literally the last chance of them. we must now translate fine words into finer actions. also on the programme: three people have died and another is in a critical condition after a group of paddleboarders got into difficulty on a welsh river. chelsea cruised to victory against
