welcome to bbc news. i'm david eades. our top stories: world leaders at the climate summit in glasgow promise to end deforestation by 2030, in a pledge that covers 85% of the world's forests. enough of burning and drilling and mining ourway enough of burning and drilling and mining our way deeper. we are digging our own graves. it follows an opening day in which india's prime minister, narendra modi, pledged for his country to become carbon neutral by the year 2070. emergency teams in nigeria work through the night to find dozens of people feared trapped in the rubble of a collapsed apartment block. the us supreme court hears arguments in the controversial texas abortion case, with at least one legal challenge likely to be

allowed to move forward. the french president says he will delay retaliatory measures against the uk, while talks about post—brexit fishing rights continue. in one of the first substantial deals to be announced at the climate summit in glasgow, world leaders have agreed to end deforestation by 2030. around 100 countries are signing up to the pledge — among them brazil, canada, russia and indonesia which is the largest exporter of palm oil, which has led to a dramatic removal of forestry in the country. the commitment will cover 85% of the world's forests. the full details are due to be

announced by borisjohnson on tuesday. it follows an opening day in which president biden spoke of the millions ofjobs that can be created through new technologies to reduce carbon emissions. india's prime minister, narendra modi, told the conference that his country aims to become carbon neutral by the year 2070. it's the first time india has announced a net zero target. 0ur political editor laura kuenssberg has more. a red london bus. electric, of course. with the skirl of scottish pipes. the royals on the steps. the prime minister, the host. a full on uk display. the leaders of the world, the guests here to be addressed by the 95—year—old monarch, even if not in person. she's seen plenty of their type before. it has sometimes been observed that what leaders do for their people today is government and politics, but what they do for the people of tomorrow, that is statesmanship.

i, for one, hope that this conference will be one of those rare occasions where everyone will have a chance to rise above the politics of the moment and achieve true statesmanship. it is the hope of many, the legacy of this summit, written in history books yet to be printed, will describe you as the leaders who did not pass up the opportunity. we, none of us, will live forever. but we are doing this not for ourselves but for our children and our children's children, and those who will follow in their footsteps. but there's the glittering reception in a glasgow landmark, then the other conference.

thousands have made the trip from their own countries. their hope that this morning's queues and their shivering arrival will be worth it. the first serious moment at this vital conference, borisjohnson�*s big moment on the world stage. humanity has long since run down the clock on climate change, it is one minute to midnight on that doomsday clock and we need to act now. the leaders of some of the biggest polluters, china, russia, and turkey, haven't shown, keeping much more than a social distance. the anger and the impatience of the world will be uncontainable unless we make this cop26 in glasgow the moment when we get real about climate change. they will not forgive us. they will know that glasgow was the historic turning point when history failed to turn. the platform also for those people whose way of life is at grave risk right now...

the earth is speaking. she tells us that we have no more time. the uk is the host to a rainbow of nearly 200 countries and wants them all to promise to cut their own carbon emissions and the wealthier to cough up more towards the $100 billion pot to help poorer countries go green. there is a real sense of purpose here, but it will be a long fortnight as president biden and the other leaders must be all too aware. and not all of them are as enthusiastic as the west with wealthier populations. whether brazil... ..with some new promises today... ..or a slower approach from the indian prime minister, who says his mega—economy will balance carbon emissions with absorbing greenhouse gases by 2070. 2070...

20 years later than borisjohnson wants. but the mood in glasgow is perhaps darkening towards those who are dragging their feet. in two generations�* time they will be remembered for this fortnight. they could have been brilliant in everything else they have done and they will be cursed if they don't get this right. that is interesting, you use the phrase "cursed." for somebody in your position of authority it's a very strong word. it was consciously a strong word. people will speak of them in far stronger terms than we speak today of the politicians of the �*30s, of the politicians who ignored what was happening in nazi germany, because this will kill people all around the world for generations and we will have no means of averting it. he later apologised for making the comparison to the nazi genocide.

number 10 stepped around commenting on the nature of those claims, but said there's no doubt about the seriousness of the climate challenge. it's only day one of a discussion that's already taken more than two decades, but the consequences of glasgow's conversation will be felt far longer than that. let's go straight to glasgow, charles mcneill the essence of the colouration made is that over a hundred world leaders will sign up to a commitment and deforestation by 2030. , ., ., . ., 2030. this deal would cover some 85% — 2030. this deal would cover some 85% of _ 2030. this deal would cover some 85% of the _ 2030. this deal would cover some 85% of the world's - some 85% of the world's forests. as i said, more detail to cumber borisjohnson is expected describe it as a landmark agreement. let's go straight to glasgow, charles mcneill is the senior advisor on forest and climate at the un

environment programme and very kindlyjoins us now. i know you have onlyjust arrived there and you walked slap bang into, presumably, exactly the sort of news you would be looking for. it is electrifying- _ would be looking for. it is electrifying. so _ would be looking for. it 3 electrifying. so exciting. i arrived here at 2am in glasgow and got the news, just as you said, 100 leaders representing 85% of the world's forests, $12 billion in public funds and another $7 billion in private funds in provisions for empowering indigenous peoples, the public—private, the public sector, the private sector, it is actually a dream come true and we are so excited. it is such an accomplishment. it is a game changer and i think what people don't realise is that without this, without stopping deforestation and restoring the world's forests, we cannot avert catastrophic climate change. it is essential and this is a breakthrough. among the signatories _

this is a breakthrough. among the signatories it _ this is a breakthrough. among the signatories it includes - the signatories it includes president bolsonaro of brazil and we know how much criticism he has coming for there must, nonetheless, be at the back of your mind the anxiety as to how genuine these commitments will prove to be. genuine these commitments will prove to be-_ prove to be. absolutely. but now that _ prove to be. absolutely. but now that it _ prove to be. absolutely. but now that it is _ prove to be. absolutely. but now that it is in _ prove to be. absolutely. but now that it is in the - prove to be. absolutely. but now that it is in the public i now that it is in the public domain it is up to the leaders to deliver, it is up to the public to put the political pressure to ensure that we keep our commitments. it is up there, it is now a done deal, 100 leaders, 85% of forest, something that is historic and we have not seen this kind of breakthrough in a generation. i think there is also a reference to 30 of the world's biggest companies buying into this process and the whole idea of any trade with anyone who is involved in deforestation would become such a black market that they simply cannot happen. i presume that is where the power of momentum, particularly in the private sector, can come into its own.—

the private sector, can come into its own. absolutely. and it is u- into its own. absolutely. and it is up to _ into its own. absolutely. and it is up to consumers - into its own. absolutely. and it is up to consumers to - into its own. absolutely. and it is up to consumers to put l it is up to consumers to put pressure on companies and the companies to get further commitments. it is an essential component. we need both distant political decision—makers to take these steps and we also need the private sector to come along as well. that is what is so exciting about this announcement. it brings the public in the private sector together. public in the private sector together-— public in the private sector touether. ., , together. there was always coin: together. there was always auoin to together. there was always going to be _ together. there was always going to be a _ together. there was always going to be a danger - together. there was always going to be a danger of - together. there was always . going to be a danger of getting carried away by moments like this. it is very early in the summer but, nonetheless, as we have said, borisjohnson will call it a landmark agreement. what does something like this do for people like yourself, for negotiators and advisers who have come to the summit wondering whether or not there will be momentum or not? figs wondering whether or not there will be momentum or not? $5 i will be momentum or not? as i said it isiust — will be momentum or not? as i said it isjust so _ will be momentum or not? " i said it isjust so surprising said it is just so surprising and so delightful, so important. i could not imagine a more positive beginning to the conference and a more auspicious beginning. this is a

big piece of the agenda, one quarter of the problem. and data shows that simply by protecting and restoring forest we can get one third of the way towards meeting paris goals. so it is extremely encouraging. it is, i don't know, it is like christmas. 0ur holiday all wrapped into one. it could not be more exciting.— wrapped into one. it could not be more exciting. let's hope it is a christmas _ be more exciting. let's hope it is a christmas that _ be more exciting. let's hope it is a christmas that survived i is a christmas that survived the test of time as well. exactly. furtherwork the test of time as well. exactly. further work is needed to ensure that these amendments are made real and that is essential.— essential. thank you for “oininu essential. thank you for joining us- _ 0ur science editor, david shukman looks at what else the negotiators need to achieve in the days ahead. the world is heating up and despite all the talk

about climate change we are still heading for catastrophic temperatures, so this is a chance to pick a safer course. but these giant conferences, bringing together thousands of people, over the past 25 years have always been challenging. this is the 10th that i've been to. it's amazing that despite the pandemic, so many people have managed to get here. the rule is to be masked up whenever you are moving around. the main focus for all the delegates who are here actually happens in giant meeting halls through there, that is where they have got to tackle the toughest question. what matters most is emissions of the gas heating the planet. they are heading in the wrong direction. projected to rise by 16% by 2030, just as the science couldn't be clearer that they need to fall by 16% over that time. the fear is this is rebounding on us.

it is time to say enough. enough of brutalising biodiversity, enough of killing ourselves with carbon, enough of treating nature like a toilet, enough of burning and drilling and mining our way deeper. we are digging our own graves. powerful words but with nearly 200 countries represented here, there are so many different agendas, that is why progress is usually slow. if you are sitting down, you can take your mask off and it is often in places like this that small, informal groups of negotiators will get together to try to crank the hardest questions like getting aid to the poorest nations who are hit hardest by climate change. i've seen for myself how droughts and other extremes of weather can devastate the nations least able to cope. there was a promise of assistance more than a decade ago but it still hasn't

been fulfilled. the faith in the international process, it becomes a little weaker, there is a lot of distrust, there is a lot of unhappiness because we keep saying everybody has to do this together but some have more responsibility than others. and while the talks are under way, the countries show off what they are doing for climate change and the hope is to encourage practical steps. like phasing out coal, the dirtiest of the fossil fuels, and pushing the spread of cleaner, electric vehicles. and that is the message from sir david attenborough, that humans can be the greatest problem solvers. in my lifetime, i have witnessed a terrible decline. in yours, you could and should witness a wonderful recovery. that desperate hope, ladies and gentlemen, is why the world is looking to you and why you are here. thank you. applause

a call to action well received but what matters now is how the governments of the world actually respond. david shukman, bbc news, in glasgow. so many strands to follow there. do go to our website for more climate coverage and reporting from cop26. go to bbc.com/news. there's a live page with the latest news as it breaks in glasgow as well as videos, the bbc�*s reality check and interactive features where you can see how climate change is affecting you and how you're affecting stay with us on bbc news, still to come: the french president

says he will delay retaliatory measures against the uk, while talks about post—brexit fishing rights continue. the israeli prime minister, yitzhak rabin, the architect of the middle east peace process, has been assassinated. a 27—year—old jewish man has been arrested and an extremistjewish organisation has claimed responsibility for the killing. at polling booths throughout the country, they voted on a historic day for australia. as the results came in, it was clear — the monarchy would survive. of the american hostages, there was no sign — - they are being held somewhere inside the compound — - and student leaders have threatened that, should i the americans attempt. rescue, they will all die. this mission has surpassed all expectations. voyager one is now the most distant man—made object anywhere in the universe, and itjust seems to keep on going. tonight, we prove once more that the true strength

of our nation comes not from the might of our arms or the scale of our wealth, but from the enduring power of our ideals. this is bbc news, the latest headlines: world leaders at the climate summit in glasgow promise to end deforestation by 2030, in a pledge that covers 85% of the world's forests. the united states supreme court has been hearing arguments about a law in the state of texas that has virtually ended abortion after six weeks of pregnancy. justices heard two challenges to the law, which bans abortion after six weeks of pregnancy and allows citizens to sue anyone involved in the process. abortion rights groups have argued that the architects of the texas law wrote it this way to deliberately avoid federal oversight. abortion providers are among

those mounting a challenge to the law. we thought we were going to hearfrom a provider, but no problem. i'm nowjoined by aimee arrambide of avow, a non—profit that works to secure unrestricted abortion access for every texa n. thank you very much indeed for joining us. ijust wonder, i'm still in early stages in a way with regard to the justices contemplating what they might do. how confident are you that you can get this overturned? i mean, ithink you can get this overturned? i mean, i think this is unconstitutional, one of the most egregious bands in the country, and my hope is that the justices demonstrate the constitutionality in abortion care needs to be accessible and they will overturn the bell.

that is your home. on which grounds do you think you have the best chance? i mean, ithink the best chance? i mean, i think it completely flies and the face of rowe vs wade, and the way they have construe the law making any private citizen a bounty hunter essentially, more people seeking abortion care, it is just not in line with the federal constitution or texan constitution. so i am hopeful. i don't want to say that... that i can predicted because we do have an anti—abortion majority in the supreme court right now, but i am hopeful. your coag one, that is the law, the terminology for this particular law. —— you refer to sb8, that is law. you are running up again against texas, the state, they will want to fight back on this. it is a

very long battle. us supreme courtjustices very long battle. us supreme court justices seem very long battle. us supreme courtjustices seem to want to get on with the matter. today, they were just dealing with and looking at whether or not to join bell, with and looking at whether or not tojoin bell, and with and looking at whether or not to join bell, and without the biden administration or justices can intervene. they won't actually looking at the law and constitutionality, so i think there is a difference there. yes.— think there is a difference there. yes. ~ ., ., , there. yes. what does it tell ou? i there. yes. what does it tell you? i wonder, _ there. yes. what does it tell you? i wonder, to _ there. yes. what does it tell you? i wonder, to you - there. yes. what does it tell you? i wonder, to you as - you? i wonder, to you as someone who is fighting hard on the rights for the abortion rights here, would it matter what the grounds inaudible whether it is an issue of constitutionality or a more fundamental issue regarding abortion? i mean, no, since this law went into effect two months ago, the majority of people seeking abortion care have had to be turned away or have had to travel out of state, or have been forced to carry their pregnancy to term, and that is

not in line with the fundamental right to abortion access. so i think it doesn't exactly matter, as long as they protect that right for all texans and all americans. what we know is that when abortion bands are implemented in texas, they spread across the country, and already other states have decided they will introduce these bells in that legislative sessions, so this will affect so many more people than just the people of texas. 0k, will perhaps wait for some time yet before we get a conclusion, but aimee arrambide, thank you very much indeed. she works for avow. thank you for having me. the latest statistics from the un and johns hopkins university show more than five million people have now lost their lives to covid—19. it comes almost 20 months since the pandemic began. vaccines have slowed the deaths in many countries, but the un has again urged richer countries to share more dses to prevent more deaths

in poorer countries. we have seen that we issued in a message from the secretary general on the 5,000,000th death in the world due to covid-19. he death in the world due to covid—19. he stressed this isn'tjust covid—19. he stressed this isn't just a covid—19. he stressed this isn'tjust a number on a page but represents lives cut short by a merciless virus that respect snowboarders. the secretary general called a global shame that while wealthy countries are rolling out third doses of the covid—19 vaccine, only about 5% of people in africa are fully vaccinated. he also noted that 5 million deaths should also stand as a clear warning that we cannot let our guard down. we're still seeing more deaths with overcrowded hospitals and exhausted healthcare workers. we also see the risk of new variants spreading and claiming more lives. he once again called on what leaders to fully support the global vaccination strategy launched the world health organization last month. a luxury apartment block in lagos, nigeria, has collapsed.

like detection kits and heavy equipment is being used to search through the rubble and twisted metalfor any twisted metal for any survivors. a twisted metalfor any survivors. a member of the national emergency management agency nigeria said four people been rescued so far, but also four bodies have been recovered. emanuel has postponed sanctions on the uk, in the dispute of post— brexit fishing rods. he said talks will continue on tuesday. earlier, the british foreign secretary lizz truss said the uk would not roll over, as she put it, and paris had threatened to block access to its ports for british birds. 0ur political correspondent has more. —— boats. storm clouds threatening. it is all quiet for now injersey, calm in the harbour, but the island remains locked in dispute with france. but there is just hours until the french deadline fishermen here are already finding themselves tangled in this dispute. for decades, natalie porritt�*s family have exported

the catch made here, selling it in france, but she has just been notified that from tomorrow she should stay away from the port. we have never seen the industry stop, bar covid. i think we had two or three weeks where we didn't export into european markets, but for a0 plus years we have worked well with our french neighbours. the french say they will see how things stand on thursday, ifjersey�*s authorities give permission for more of their boats to fish in their waters. we won't succumb to political threats or rhetoric or anecdote. it's clear. at least ten days fishing in any one of the last three years show that you have done that and you are entitled to a license. what is extraordinary is that this is a dispute aboutjust a few dozen fishing licenses and it's threatening the relationship between the uk and france. france says it's entitled to them under the terms of its trade deal with the uk, the uk that those boats can't prove they should have access to british and jersey waters.

france's prime minister, jean castex, in a letter to the eu last week, urged action under the trade deal, saying... and he listed "access to ports." at the climate summit, clenched fists from the french president and prime minister. this was a friendly greeting. emmanuel macron said tonight he had made a new proposal to de—escalate things and understood that the uk would bring forward new ideas to push things forward. they have behaved unfairly. the fishing licences were awarded entirely in accordance with the trade deal we negotiated, and we now need them to withdraw those unreasonable threats that they've made. so, the uk says it's glad france has held back and it expects talks

to continue later in the week, to try to unravel this dispute. damian grammaticas, bbc news. thatis that is bbc news. thank you for watching. hello. after a warm and wet october the stormy final weekend has a different flavour to our weather now that we are into november. low pressure is moving away, around and there are still showers but overall it is looking drier. now is a developing northerly breeze coming into the uk and it's chilly now, but it is turning colder still in the next couple of days. here's what's on the agenda for the rest of the week. we've established as low pressure moves away, drier, the air around it turning colder. some sunny spells, yes, a chance of showers mainly coastal areas. 0vernight fog and frost, got both of those in some spots as tuesday begins. especially across parts of england where the coldest areas here getting close to freezing at the day begins. showers from the word go

in northern scotland, and some of these can be heavy maybe with hail and thunder. and some will push further south across scotland during the day and increasing a chance of catching a shower in northern ireland across parts of wales for the western side of england. much of central and eastern england will state largely dry. many places will see sunny spells and temperatures across the uk nine to 12 celsius. the wind continuing to ease. and with those light winds overnight and into wednesday that's a recipe for some mist and fog patches, especially across parts of england and wales. and again a recipe for seeing temperatures close to freezing, especially in the countryside for a touch of frost as wednesday starts. so on wednesday, then, again many places going to stay dry. you can see the showers around to begin with and mainly affecting coastal areas. if you running through northern ireland, some into northern scotland. this patch along the north sea coast mayjust push further inland across england during the day with that wind direction. and a colderfeeling day on wednesday with more places topping out in just single figures for the top temperature. as we go from wednesday to thursday, a high—pressure trying to nudge in from

the west and with that wind direction also killing off many of the showers across western parts of the uk. we will continue to see them especially along some north sea coast on thursday. a stronger northerly breeze, more of the wind—chill around on thursday. and there is a change developing in northwest scotland, thicker clouds and some outbreaks of rain starting to move in. a weather system that will bring some rain to parts of scotland, and northern ireland going into saturday and then pushing a little bit further south as the weekend goes on. and that's your latest forecast for the week ahead.

this is bbc news, the headlines: world leaders at the climate summit in glasgow have agreed to end deforestation by 2030. around 100 countries are signing up to the pledge, including brazil, canada, russia and indonesia, which is the largest exporter of palm oil, which has led to a dramatic removal of forestry in the country. it follows an opening day in which india's prime minister, narendra modi, told the conference that his country aims to become carbon neutral by the year 2070. it's the first time that india, which is the world's fourth biggest emitter of carbon dioxide, has announced a net zero target. emergency teams in nigeria are working through the night to find dozens of people who are feared trapped in the rubble of a collapsed apartment block in lagos. the building was under construction at the time.
