to breathe, it's not myjob. there is nowhere in myjob description that says i'm a mask enforcer. it's notjust mask mandates that have wiped the smiles off parents�* faces but a change in curriculum and claims schools are teaching critical race theory, the idea that racism is embedded in america's public policies. teachers are being accused of indoctrinating children while they watch their academic scores tumble. but teachers say they're are just delivering the syllabus in a more inclusive way. we're just trying to make them aware from both perspectives and let them make up their mind as to how they feel about that afterwards. and i think that's kind of what teaching history should be about. the things that are going on here are making me absolutely crazy. across the country, what should be local, nonpartisan elections have become highly charged, sometimes violent, deeply political affairs. a sign of what's to come as we approach

the mid—term elections next year. sophie long, bbc news, douglas county, colorado. tottenham has appointed the former chelsea boss antonio conte as their new head coach. it comes just one day after they fired nuno espirito santo as managr. the bbc�*s football reporter simon stonejoins me now. they didn't hand about? no indeed, and i think they didn't hand about? no indeed, and | thinkthe — they didn't hand about? no indeed, and i think the origins _ they didn't hand about? no indeed, and i think the origins of _ they didn't hand about? no indeed, and i think the origins of this - they didn't hand about? no indeed, and i think the origins of this were l and i think the origins of this were put in place during the summer. == put in place during the summer. -- the put in place during the summer. —— they didn't hang about. put in place during the summer. -- they didn't hang about. in - put in place during the summer. -- they didn't hang about. in a - they didn't hang about. in a statement _ they didn't hang about. in a statement released - they didn't hang about. in a statement released by - they didn't hang about. in —. statement released by the club, antonio conte said he spoke about the vacancy whenjose mourinho left that it was too soon after leaving inter milan for him to take that on. at the time he was impressed by what he described as the contagious zeal and determination and enthusiasm of

the chairman daniel levy, that is what brought into tottenham. he says he is approaching the task with great conviction, he signed a contract for 2023 with the option of a further deal, he wants to take tottenham back to the higher level of english football.— of english football. thank you, simon stone. _ time for a look at the weather. here's ben rich. it is getting chilly? it is already getting chilly, is another started the day with frost. there is some sunshine and showers which also look impressive on the recent satellite picture, pushing down from the north—west, mainly affecting areas exposed to know for north—westerly wens like northern and western scotland, some for eastern scotland, parts of northern ireland, north—west england, wales, the south—west and the channel islands, further eastward shelter from the breeze, staying dry with lots of sunshine, temperatures

struggling, ten to 13, but it is november now at those temperatures will drop overnight while we keep clear skies, showers will continue for coastal areas, some wintry over the highest granted northern scotland. overnight temperatures getting to around freezing, maybe just below in parts of the south, allowing for a touch of frost and the potential for fog across england and wales tomorrow morning. another sunshine and showers day mostly, more cloud than today across parts of northern england, getting down into the midlands, producing showery rain. if anything temperatures lower than today, eight to 12, more of a breeze tomorrow. looking into thursday a subtle change, this area of high pressure tries to nose its way in, clearing off 18 showers, still some for parts of west wales into cornwall, east anglia and the south—east. cloud spilling and

towards the north—west, temperatures really struggling, seven to 11 degrees. the cloud will filter south across the uk through friday into the weekend, not as many showers and starting to turn a bit milder. many thanks. now on bbc one, let's join our news teams where you are. have a very good afternoon. we were going to take you to glasgow. we were going to take you to glasuow. . , ,., . ., glasgow. the greatest potential for cuts is without _ glasgow. the greatest potential for cuts is without any _ glasgow. the greatest potential for cuts is without any doubt _ glasgow. the greatest potential for cuts is without any doubt in - glasgow. the greatest potential for cuts is without any doubt in the - cuts is without any doubt in the energy sector. this is why next month, as the european commission, we will propose to regulate methane emissions. we will introduce rules to measure, to report, to verify

methane emissions. rules to put limits on venting and flaring, and rules to detect lea ks limits on venting and flaring, and rules to detect leaks and repair them, and of course are common agricultural policy is also increasing its focus on tackling methane emissions. distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen, fellow leaders, the pupil methane pledge makes cutting or methane emissions a collective undertaking. this must of course be supported by our sound scientific basis and a capacity to monitor and calculate methane emissions, because we all know only what gets measured gets done, so thatis what gets measured gets done, so that is why the european commission supports to setup of an independent methane emissions observatory through the un environmental programme, but we also all know that

as important as this pledge is, it is about more than hitting targets. there are clear benefits to cutting emissions, yes, for the planets, but also so much for the people, too, because if we deliver on this pledge we can prevent over 200,000 premature deaths. we can prevent hundreds of thousands of asthma —related emergency room visits, and over 20 million tonnes of crop losses a year by reducing ground—level ozone pollution. i want to thank all those countries that have signed up to the google methane pledge. with this global pledge we are making cop26 the moment when the world moves from aspiration to action. now it is my pleasure and

honour to leave this podium for you, mr president. thank you. applause. it is very easy to follow our schiller. she says it all well the first time. look, i'm going to be very, very brief. i want to thank ursula and everyone else here today for signing this game changing commitment. one of the most important things we can do, and i keep referring to this decisive decade, we are going to figure out what we are going to do between now and 2030 is going to impact significantly on whether we will be able to meet a longer term commitment. one of the most important things we can do is to keep 1.5 degrees and reach is to reduce or methane emissions as

quickly as possible. as has already been stated, it is one of the most potent greenhouse gases there is. it amounts to about half the warning we are experiencing today, just the methane exposure. together, we are committing to collectively reduce our methane by 30% by 2030 and i think we could probably go beyond that. wejust think we could probably go beyond that. we just announce this package at the general assembly back in september. at the time in nine countries had signed on. today, it is over 80, approaching 100 countries. that is nearly half the global methane emissions, or 70% of the global gdp. it is going to make a huge difference, and notjust when it comes to fighting climate change, it comes to fighting climate change, it is the physical health of individuals and a whole range of other things. individuals and a whole range of otherthings. it individuals and a whole range of other things. it will reduce asthma,

improve the food supply by cutting crop losses and related ground—level pollution. it will boost our economies, saving companies money, reducing methane leaks, capturing methane to turn it into new revenue streams as well as creating well—paid unionjobs streams as well as creating well—paid union jobs for our workers. there will be new technologies for methane detection, jobs for union and welders to go out to oil wells and plug leaking pipelines. it has been a foundational commitment of my administration from the beginning. it is something that i can paint on and today i am announcing the next steps to reduce us methane emissions. we are proposing to you rules, one that will produce methane

losses from new and existing oil and gas pipelines. in one through the department of transportation to reduce wasteful and potentially dangerous leaks from natural gas pipelines. we are also launching a new initiative to work with our farmers and ranchers to get climate smart agriculture practices and produce methane on farms, which is a significant source, as well. this is part of our new methane strategy which focuses on reducing the largest source of methane emissions while putting thousands of skilled workers in a job all across the united states, and i expect in your countries as well. let me close again by reiterating this isn'tjust something we have to do to protect the environment, it is an enormous opportunity for all of us, all of our nations to create jobs and make meeting climate goals a key part of

our economic recovery as well. we will work with each of you to make sure you meet this goal and encourage more countries to join us to reducing methane globally. i want to reducing methane globally. i want to thank you again, much more to say that much of it has already been said. thank you for your partnership, your ambition. said. thank you for your partnership, yourambition. i said. thank you for your partnership, your ambition. iwill turnit partnership, your ambition. iwill turn it back now... thank you all so much. applause. sue presidentjoe biden, and there in the pink ursula von der leyen, both of them talking about the climate summit being a game changing moment in dealing with climate change. they talked about that deal that has just been struck to cut methane gas emissions responsible for half of all global warming. to cut methane gas

emissions around the world by 30% by 2030. that is one of the first major deals to come out of the cop26 glasgow climate change discussions. now, we will get some sport. good afternoon, i'm chetan pathak with your latest sports news. antonio conte has been confirmed as tottenham's new manager, just a day after the club sacked nuno espirito santo. the former chelsea manager has signed a deal until the summer of 2023. his first game in charge will be at home to dutch side vitesse arnhem in the europa conference league on thursday before spurs play at everton in the premier league on sunday. tony pulis was west brom manager when conte s chelsea won the league at the hawthorns in may 2017. i don't think he stand up and he will move them if he has to to get

the results they want. it is a great appointment. the group of players that tottenham have shown over the last year or so, i don't think they're ready to be a top four team at this present moment. give him the tools, the ammunition, and i think tottenham will become successful again. manchester united — who were beaten in last season's europa league final by unai emery�*s villareal — are in champions league action tonight. having been thrashed by liverpool, the pressure eased on ole gunnar solskjaer at the weekend when united won at spurs, but questions remain about his position and a tough test awaits later when they take on atalanta in italy. criticism can go... can make you doubt yourself, or you can stand up for yourself. and i've always enjoyed criticism. so that's. .. just keep that coming — that's fine. you know, journalists,

pundits, experts, we've all got differentjobs. it's theirjob to give their opinions. that's theirjob. i'm not here to fight with them. the holders, chelsea, have an early evening kick—off in sweden where they face malmo. having won the home game 4—0 manager, thomas hoping for more of the same, and in what's turning into an outstanding first year at the club: the target is to get better every week, to get better every match and every day and never stop learning and never stop progressing as a coach because this is what it is and now it seems to be a perfect fit from day one for me. i am super happy to be in this club and to be part of the club. in england's group at the t20 world cup, their next opponents, south africa, have boosted their hopes of reaching the semifinals by beating bangladesh by six wickets in abu dhabi. put into bat, bangladesh were bowled out forjust 8a. south africa wobbled chasing that

small target, but captain temba bavuma steadied things and they knocked off the runs with more than six overs to spare. that result knocks bangladesh out. let's talk a little bit more about antonio conte, i'm joined by simon stone. what is he had to say? it is interesting because antonio conte has referred back to talks that he had with tottenham in the summer in the aftermath of him leaving inter milan and who say marine you. he said the reason that those negotiations did not reach a successful conclusion is was that it was too soon, basically, from him

leaving inter milan to moving to another club, but he said he was left with the impression of this contagious drive and enthusiasm and determination from the tottenham chairman, daniel leavey. he hasn't forgotten that. given this opportunity, he has taken it with both hands and he understands that there is a determination amongst the executives at tottenham, led by daniel leavey, for the club to be what he describes as a protagonist again, that means challenging for major honours, that means emulating maurico pochettino's achievements and getting the club to semifinals and getting the club to semifinals and finals, including the champions league final and challenging at the top end of the league. that clearly is what antonio conte wants, that is his background, that is where he will expect to drive the club to

key task in the short term. fascinating times ahead for tottenham fans. thursday against pete srm will be the first we save antonio conte's tottenham side. i'll have more for you in the next hour. 80 nations at the un climate summit in glasgow, have promised to cut methane emissions by 30% by 2030. it's one of the first big agreements of cop 26. methane is a greenhouse gas that's second only to carbon dioxide in driving global warming. it's more potent than co2 in the short—term, but only lingers in the atmosphere for a relatively short time, as our climate editor, justin rowlatt, explains you are about to meet methane, the gas that fires your stove, seeps from rotting organic material

and bubbles from our stomachs and those of cows and sheep. butjust look what happens when you add a little bit of pure oxygen. methane is a much more potent greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide. each molecule has 120 times the effect. the real difference between methane and carbon dioxide is that methane breaks down after about a decade, but carbon dioxide will be with us for thousands of years. methane concentrations in the atmosphere have been steadily increasing, but because it breaks down so quickly in the air, the un says if we can cut emissions we can rapidly get rid of this powerful warming gas. that means urgently tackling the methane produced by the oil and gas industry, by agriculture and in our waste. technology can help. a new network of high resolution satellites can identify methane emissions from space.

like the methane plume from this rubbish dump in the indonesian capital, jakarta. it is spewing methane equivalent to the co2 from three—quarters of a million cars. methane is also linked to air pollution that causes tens of thousands of deaths a year worldwide. an israeli minister who uses a wheelchair and was unable to get into cop26 says her experience showed the need for better accessibility. on monday, karine elharrar was forced to return to her hotel 50 miles away because the only access to the summit in glasgow was by shuttle or walking. the uk government has apologised. my colleaguejoanna gosling spoke to the minister about her experience today. it was excellent this morning. i entered very easily. it was quite a different experience from yesterday.

no hard feelings from yesterday? have you spoken to the prime minister? i know you have been invited to talk to him. i have a meeting with borisjohnson, the uk prime minister, an hour ahead, and i have been receiving calls from many people in your government and i think it is a good experience to make sure that for the next time a un conference will be accessible because we can talk about accessibility and the rights of people with disabilities but in life we need to implement all the conventions and all the regulations and that was an experience that showed us we need to pay attention to all the details everywhere.

absolutely. obviously everyone is very sorry to hear what happened to you but it has shone a light and hopefully will make a difference going forward. yes, i am sure that the difference will be made in the future. in terms of what is happening there, with making the future a better place, what do you hope will be achieved? as an israeli minister of energy, i want to meet my colleagues from around the world and let them know israel is a start—up nation and we are hoping to get our start—ups to be very important people in the climate crisis battle. i know that the only way to make

a really amazing change would be with technologies. today, we know renewables and hydrogen and carbon captures, but there are so many things we don't know about and there are going to be a serious thing in the climate battle. we want israel to be one of the countries, the leading countries, to make a great change. can you give us some examples of what israel is doing in that regard? we brought to the governmentjust a week ago a big project. we have renewables that we want to expand, we have an energy programme that won't use so much

energy and we have the start—ups that are thinking of water hydrogen, hydrogen from water, and carbon capture that we are regulating these days and we hope that will be the big change and to bring it to other countries as well. emergency teams in nigeria have been working through the night in the search for survivors of a lagos apartment block that collapsed while under construction. diggers are picking through a huge mound of concrete from the collapsed tower. suzanne kianpour reports. a nightmare in the nigerian city of lagos after a 21—floor luxury residential building under construction comes crashing down. all the building came down.

exactly! it all collapsed, everything collapsed. people were there inside. people, plenty inside. a number of people are dead, with a rescue mission for the workers trapped inside ongoing. we tried to remove them. they have been in there up till now. that's all you can do. also some blood which i don't have. and water. scenes of chaos and anger at what locals see as a slow response and unanswered questions as to why a building where the cheapest unit was selling for $1.2 million, could fall apart. they have been working since last year, but nobody can say what happened. we are just hearing boom. everything just collapsing. we were in the other building. we had more than 50 people inside there again.

since one hour, we have been calling 111, but there is no answer and people are inside there. subpar materials, negligence and skirting construction regulations have made building collapses more common in lagos and other parts of nigeria, africa's most populous country. local authorities say it's too soon to determine the cause of the tragedy and have vowed to make the results of an enquiry into the matter public. now it's time for a look at the weather with ben rich. hello. this morning might have come as a bit of a shock to the system, a touch of frost in places, but with this crisp and chilly autumn weather, many of us are getting to enjoy some bright weather. that is how it looked earlier on for a weather watcher in essex. however, there are some showers too. you can see the speckled shower

clouds pushing down from the north, affecting mostly those areas exposed to the north or north—westerly wind. so western scotland is a case in point. we have seen some showers here. these will continue across northern and western scotland, some for eastern scotland, too, parts of northern ireland, the western side of england, wales, quite a lot of heavy showers for the channel islands. but further east, more in the way of dry weather. some spells of sunshine and temperatures between ten and 13 degrees. through this evening and tonight showers will continue to pepper coastal districts. we could see some wintry showers developing over very high ground in northern scotland and a few more showers creeping further inland across parts of northern england. temperatures will drop very close to freezing, even below freezing for a few places. the coldest weather of all could be across the far south of england where we could also see some mist and fog patches. in fact, across a good part of england, east wales, there is the risk of the odd fog patch tomorrow morning. through tomorrow, again some sunshine, again some showers, mostly around the coasts, but we will see a few more getting inland across parts of northern england, getting into the midlands

and generally some slightly cloudy weather here, as well. temperatures eight to 12 degrees at best, so it will still feel quite chilly and some of us will see a touch of frost again during wednesday night. for thursday, this little ridge of high pressure tries to topple its way in, so that means we will see fewer showers, still one or two getting across west wales into the far south—west of england, some for east anglia and the south—east for a time. but otherwise, more dry weather. some spells of sunshine, although more cloud toppling in from the north—west later on. again, a chilly feel at seven to 12 degrees. now, that cloud moving on towards the north—west is a sign of things to come. as we get into friday, our area of high pressurejust a little further southwards. we will feed more cloud into northern and western parts of the uk, so generally speaking, through friday into the weekend, northern areas will see a lot of cloud. there could be some rain in places, particularly in north—west scotland. further south, some will get to see a little bit of sunshine. generally, a lot of cloud but it will be milder for all of us.

this is bbc news i'mjane hill. the headlines... world leaders have agreed a plan to drastically cut methane gas emissions, at the un climate summit in glasgow. but china, russia and india are not part of the deal. together, we are committing to collectively reduce our methane by 30% by 2030, and i think we can probably go beyond that. separately, leaders strike a deal to halt and reverse deforestation by the end of the decade. we have to stop the devastating loss of our forests, these great, teaming ecosystems, trillion pillared cathedrals of nature. brazil is one of the signatories to the deal, but the bbc has seen evidence of the growing deforestation of the

amazon rainforest.
