this is bbc news, the headlines the host of the glasgow climate summit, borisjohnson, has said that so far he is cautiously optimistic about the progress made. but he said there's still "a long way to go". earlier world leaders agreed to a deal slashing emissions of methane — a highly potent greenhouse gas. 103 countries signed up to the deal aimed at reducing methane output 30 per cent by 2030. there was also an agreement to end deforestation by 2030. around 100 countries signed up to the pledge — including brazil, russia and indonesia — which will cover 85% of the world's forests. more than 20 people have been killed and at least 16 injured in a gun and bomb assault on a military hospital in the afghan capital kabul. an affiliate of the islamic state group said it did it.

10:36 pm
and that will mean that some companies will get fined and some were passing some of the law to achieve its objectives. the sensing of the government is wrong to explore every avenue towards decarbonization, but i think is going to be a backlash with this one. �* ., �* ., , going to be a backlash with this one. ., one. both boris johnson and joe biden have _ one. both boris johnson and joe biden have made _ one. both boris johnson and joe biden have made quite - one. both boris johnson and joe biden have made quite a - one. both boris johnson and joe biden have made quite a big - one. both boris johnson and joel biden have made quite a big deal about the move from banks and private companies because governments cannot do it on their own insured joe biden actually said today that a lot of the emphasis is coming from the private sector and is partially driven by consumers,. and investors. it's notjust a matter— and investors. it's notjust a matter of— and investors. it's notjust a matter of just and investors. it's notjust a matter ofjust saying whatever to the private sector and running a mite _ the private sector and running a mile because he is introduced to me a new— mile because he is introduced to me a new regulator. i would disagree

10:39 pm
on the cover of the financial times, i think you dojust on the cover of the financial times, i think you do just have this tension at the moment. i know of anybody is challenging the science of climate change but there are those who worry about the economics of climate change and i think this lays bare even the attention of growth between avoiding short—term intense pay between returns for pension funds and decarbonization. us not to say that their mutually exclusive but i still think there are real difficulties businesses making these pledges and i do feel like over the course of the next week or so, we are going to hear more pledges at some point that may be watered down and may lead to disappointment. but let's hope that there is a flicker of optimism to be had. . ., , ,., , had. another line in this saying that the fossil _ had. another line in this saying that the fossil fuel _

10:42 pm
and i'm going to leave it there for now because this is going to go over a couple weeks and looking to keep talking about it. but look at what is on those front pages. another really interesting story in the daily telegraph which is the pm six to replace the standards watchdog and very extraordinary, if true. yes, it is. and triggered by the committee, reporting and to 0wen patterson and it's divided people and it's predictable, supporters of criticised the report and condemned the process that produces the opponents targeted this and perhaps the conduct that it has and many have four point that they want to welcome reform and i don't think the
