this is bbc news — welcome if you're watching here in the uk or around the globe. i'm david eades. our top stories: progress at the climate change summit in glasgow but the cop26 host warns of false hope in the race to limit global warming. the eyes of the populations of the world are on in the eyes of the world are on in the eyes of the british government and all the british government and all the other governments care about this, are on our negotiation and we have your numbers. as the race to be the next governor of virginia hots up, we report on what the outcome could tell us about the us, a year after president biden�*s victory. relief in australia,

as a four—year—old girl, who was taken from a campsite more than two weeks ago, is found alive and well. and, us authorities give the go—ahead for children between the ages of five and eleven, to receive the coronavirus vaccine. hello and thanks very much for joining us. two days of conference, two significant agreements. the leaders gathered at the cop26 climate change summit have made bold commitments to end deforestation by 2030 and to reduce emissions of methane, one of the most potent greenhouse gases, by some 30%. it's enough for the british prime minister, and host of the cop, borisjohnson, to say he is cautiously optimistic about the progress being made. but as heads of government leave their national delegations to focus on more detailed discussion,

mrjohnson also warned against false hope. our political editor, laura kuenssberg has been following the day's events. when cultures clash can they still agree? when there is so much difference, there can be dissent. shouting there are so many faces in glasgow, so many facets of what could be done. mr dicaprio, are you pleased with what has happened this week? hollywood stars might campaign but less developed countries may well complain. the united nations fears as there is not enough trust to bridge the gaps, but deals are being made. more than 100 leaders signed a promise to stop the destruction of forests in nine years�* time. the american president displayed a real sense of progress. we are preparing to wrap on another busy day in scotland. i think we got a lot done. but there are obstacles. he was less than impressed that not every country is willing

to be part of the journey. the fact that china, trying to assert, understandably, a new role in the world as a world leader, not showing up? come on. the single most important thing that has the attention of the world is climate. away from the main stage, down a quiet corridor in a tiny office is big resistance. instead of president xi, one of the most powerful people you probably have never heard of in his place — china's climate negotiator, xie zhenhua. he criticised developed countries for not coming up with cash they'd promised to help the less wealthy go green and warned focusing too much on limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees, as borisjohnson wants, could destroy the consensus. but his attention was cast across as many foreign leaders as possible today but they have departed now, leaving instructions

for their negotiators. around 100 countries have already signed up to cut the potent greenhouse gas methane by nearly a third by the end of the decade. the prime minister can bank progress on clean technology, as well as those promises on methane and forests but, remember, there are good reasons why only a day ago he was warning, overall, these talks could fail. i am cautiously optimistic in the sense that on the way to the g20 in rome i said to somebody on the plane, that if this was a football match then the current score would be 5—1 down in the match between humanity and climate change. i think today after two days of talks with around 120 world leaders is that we have pulled back a goal or perhaps even two.

the first 48 hours here have been frantic and today there has been a flurry of promises that should hypothetically make a difference but it is now the hard bargaining really starts. remember, borisjohnson wants a deal that keeps global warming within safe limits but here in glasgow right now, it is far too early to be sure if that's in reach. there will be clashes and arguments, different voices and different views. but borisjohnson cannot be sure what may greet him in glasgow if, at the end of this vast summit, he returns. laura kuenssberg, bbc news, glasgow. much of the challenge still revolves around money, finance from richer governments to help poorer countries, but also the need to entice corporate investment on a huge scale. mark carney is boris johnson's finance adviser for the conference, and he's been speaking to the bbc�*s christian fraser. we're increasingly going to see, though, as government policy toughens up, is clearer, fills in, like different words

for the same thing, about what's needed to get us to 1.5 degrees is companies will have to notjust say theoretically, "this is what it will happen," but actually, "i do have to write off some of those." we saw a tiny bit of that earlier, last year, about a year ago with some of the major oil companies, who wrote off some of the excess reserves thatjust don't make sense in a 1.5—degree world but it is a drop in the bucket thus far. one of the problems at the moment is what we call carbon leakage. you get territory like the eu who put the price up of carbon, carbon taxes, more expensive for companies, and then companies relocate to another part of the world where it is cheaper. do you think there needs to be thought about a global carbon price? i do think we need a global carbon price. it wouldn't exactly match — the price, may be higher in the uk then it is in sub—

sahara or developing african or a small island states, given the relative resources, but everyone should have a price on carbon but i am not naive about it. i don't think it will happen overnight. one of the objectives that president von der leyen, prime minister trudeau and the prime minister of sweden and president biden and the head of the world trade organization and myself talked about yesterday was to get the coverage of the carbon price up to two—thirds of global emissions by the end of the decade. a former policeman, the democrat eric adams, has won the race to become mayor of new york during a day of closely watched local elections in the united states. whilst in boston, michelle wu has made history by becoming the first woman and first person of colour to be elected mayor. in the state of virginia, the republican candidate for governor, glen youngkin, is leading his

democratic rival. in the other governor's race in newjersey, republican challengerjack ciattarelli, a former state lawmaker, was leading heavily favored democratic governor phil murphy. let's go straight to pollster extroadinaire frank luntz for his analysis. let's focus first of all on virginia, it seems to be the most significant battle of the night and it is looking like a pretty bad one for the democrats, what do you put that down to? ~ ., ., ~ ., down to? well in looking at the results, three _ down to? well in looking at the results, three points. _ down to? well in looking at the results, three points. numberl results, three points. number one is that the lieutenant governor and the attorney general on the democratic side look like they are headed to the feet, so this is notjust a loss for terry mcauliffe and former governor of virginia it is a loss for all of the

democrats. numbertwo is a loss for all of the democrats. number two is that theissue democrats. number two is that the issue of education became prevalent in the race over the last 30 days and parents who are part is unlike other voters still felt like a comment by terry mcauliffe telling people that parents should not be able to tell schools what to teach their children was a big mistake, one of the worst phrases that has been used in the campaign over the last ten years. and third is that republicans who are disillusioned and very disappointed about the outcome have once again re—engaged in politics, participated to a high number and so we are going to continue to have these very balanced elections. in the end i believe that you will have a two—point victory for the republicans and to my shock, newjersey was 71% of the vote counted as of right now, the republican is leading thereby a percentage point. if you look across the country, this is the equivalent of your by—elections in the uk, this has been a very good night for the gop in america.

good night for the gop in america-— good night for the gop in america. ~ ., g , , america. mentioned newjersey there, america. mentioned newjersey there. perhaps _ america. mentioned newjersey there, perhaps the _ america. mentioned newjersey there, perhaps the result - america. mentioned newjersey there, perhaps the result there | there, perhaps the result there is more indicative for president biden as to the trouble that the choppy waters that he can expect in the buildup to the midterms? i agree with that. in virginia you see a shift of 12 points, biden won by ten points, it looks like the republican will win by two. in newjersey biden won by 16% and it's looking like it is just neck and neck and what are democrats thinking as they go to sleep tonight and wake up tomorrow morning? why have these two key states moved against us? what have we said, what have we done to cause voters to be so angry and upset? i don't believe it is a victory for the republicans. in the research i have done i believe it is a rejection of the democrats, so that is only half of the way there. if republicans are going to capitalise on it and when in 2022 which is one year from tonight, the only way they can do that is showing that they are truly different. some of this is a vote against the

incumbent, some of this is a vote for change, so it gives the republicans a chance to build on this for the next 12 months, but i can tell you this. there are a lot of democrats that are very afraid right now and when they come to work tomorrow in washington, dc, the president is going to have a very different congress to work with. a congress that is very nervous about their own futures over the next 12 months. pa. futures over the next 12 months-_ futures over the next 12 months. �* , , months. a red eyed president cominu months. a red eyed president coming back _ months. a red eyed president coming back from _ months. a red eyed president coming back from his - coming back from his international duties as well. thank you very much indeed for your analysis. let's get some of the day's other news. facebook�*s parent company says it's shutting down its facial recognition system and deleting a billion faceprints, in response to privacy concerns. the decision affects a feature that automatically identified people who appear in digital photos. passengers travelling through terminal one at berlin's new airport are being warned not to drink water from any of the taps after potentially harmful bacteria was discovered. the bacteria, coliform, can

cause vomiting and diarrhoea. one of the main hospitals in the north of haiti has been forced to close following an attack by an armed gang which smashed windows and equipment, before setting the building on fire. the men who rampaged through the sacre coeur hospital early on monday, said they were seeking revenge on a rival gang member being treated there. the prime minister has condemned the attack as "barbaric". a four—year—old girl, who went missing from a campsite in the australian outback more than two weeks ago, has been found alive and well, according to police. officers broke into a home 100 kilometres from the campsite, and found cleo smith in one of the rooms. shaimaa khalil is following the story for us from sydney. i tell you, david, we don't get a chance to report on good news stories and, you know, happy endings often, do we? and what a story to wake up to. literally in the morning we all got that alert that

cleo smith has been found alive and, as you say, this is a story that has gripped australia. the whole country was following this from the day it was announced that she mysteriously disappeared from her family's tent at a campsite on the western australian coastline. and as the days went by everybody was expecting the worst. the family, of course, didn't give up hope. the police were searching, it was one of the biggest search operations for western australian police, on the theory that she was abducted, and today the police came out and said she was alive, she was well, she was found in a locked house. they went to that locked house after a tipoff, that's all they told us, they found her in one of the rooms in the western australian town of carnarvon. one of the police officers carried her and asked her "what's your name? " and she answered "my name is cleo". and that is when they realised they had found her. we heard from the mother, she expressed her relief on social media saying that the family was whole again. the ordeal lasted

more than two weeks. we also heard from the prime minister, scott morrison, who is in the uk who said the country's prayers have been answered. stay with us on bbc world news, still to come: the family making the practical changes needed to play a part in the fight against climate change. 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 — -

killed and dozens injured in an attack on afghanistan's biggest military hospital in kabul. a taliban spokesman said there had been two explosions outside the building before gunmen entered. the islamic state group has claimed it carried out the attack. from kabul, our correspodent secunder kermani reports. across the road from the attack, families at another hospital watch on in horror. outside, a man tries to crawl to safety. inside, mothers and young children terrified. afghans had hoped scenes like this would come to an end now that the taliban are in power. instead, the fighters were amongst the victims of this attack, carried out by the local branch of the islamic state group, or daesh. the assault began with a suicide bombing, before

gunmen tried to fight their way inside the military hospital. helicopters were used to drop taliban special forces into the site, according to the group. but outside this hospital, taliban members were anxiously awaiting news of injured colleagues — former insurgents now facing an insurgency themselves. "after the explosion, me and some of the other taliban were helping carry injured people into the hospital," says this member of the group, who was at the scene of the attack. "a daesh fighter pretended to help us too, but when we got inside, he took a pistol out and shot a talib who was next to me in the head." "the rest of us tried to escape." the taliban are insistent on playing down the threat from is. it's true they don't control any territory, but this is the fifth major attack they're suspected of carrying out since the taliban took power.

is are challenging the taliban's core narrative that they're finally bringing security to afghanistan. is accuse the taliban of not being hardline enough, and the two are fierce rivals. this new taliban government is beginning to face many of the same problems as the government theyjust overthrow — a dismal economy and now rising security concerns. secunder kermani, bbc news, kabul. children between the ages of five and eleven in the united states will begin receiving coronavirus vaccinations as early as wednesday. the move comes after the us health regulator the centers for disease control, the cdc, signed off on the measure on tuesday. but there is a challenge regarding takeup — polls are showing a large proportion parents aren't prepared to let their child have the vaccine. dr ashistha is a us expert on the covid—19 vaccination and gave me his reaction to today's news.

first and foremost it is great to see the fda and the cdc advisers voted unanimously so there is not much controversy about whether these vaccines are worth it for children. the poll suggests about one third of american parents will get their children vaccinated immediately and that includes me, it includes most doctors, by the way. my suspicion is that another a0—50% are going to go a little more slowly, they will talk to their doctors and paediatricians and over time i think they will be persuaded that the evidence here is that kids are much better off getting the vaccine. when you are confronted with those who say i really don't not want my child having something like that, how do you persuade them? i begin by telling them my own story. as i said, i am a father and i look at the data and i am a physician but i'm also a father and i'm getting my own child vaccinated. i think that is important. people value that. but what i talk about is

the alternative to a vaccine is getting covid. the virus will be endemic and with us for a very long time and all of the evidence says that it is much worse for kids who get covid than it is for them to have any of the side—effects that we have seen with vaccines. it is really not a close call. i find that many parents are open to hearing about that. a state of emergency has been declared in ethiopia as a year long war between government and rebel forces intensifies. residents in the capital addis ababa have been ordered to arm themselves and defend their neighbourhoods, amid fears the rebels from the northern tigray region are advancing on the city. our correspondent catherine byaru hanga reports. ethiopia's government promised the war in the north would be swift. a year on, it threatens the very fabric of africa's second most populous nation. tigray�*s rebels have gained

the upper hand against federal forces and their allies, who appear poorly trained and ill—equipped. prime minister abiy ahmed has led his country into a brutal civil war. his government believes declaring a state of emergency will help push back its opponents. translation: ethiopiansl should be committed to go to the extreme to stop these traitors and their allied forces. but it's notjust a war in the north he's facing. further south is the oromo liberation army. they want self—determination to for the oromo people. this is a country of over 100 million people, divided into 80 ethnic groups. many of them are agitating for independence. this is an old armed struggle, but many of the people here that you can see were not

born when the oromo liberation army was first formed in the 1970s. today, as ethiopia faces many conflicts and challenges, this group sees new opportunities. the ola has agreed an alliance with the tigray rebels, and the two groups say their forces are moving closer to ethiopia's capital. translation: we are working on a strategy to control - the area without paying a heavy sacrifice, and we're succeeding — addis ababa is encircled. ethiopia's government forces appear to be struggling to hold territory, and in turn, struggling to hold this large country together. catherine byaruhanga, bbc news. returning to the top story, we've been hearing about the grand agreements leaders are trying to reach on climate change, but what can the rest of us do? reducing carbon emissions could mean all of us changing our habits from what we buy to what we eat.

our science correspondent victoria gill has been to meet one family who are looking to the future. busy family life makes it difficult to count our carbon emissions, but for this family in leeds, decarbonising their daily routine has has become a priority. i think edie constantly likes to remind me that i need to be better. do you think it could be made easier, you know, to make the changes that you would like to make? it would be better for the environment if we switched to eating more plant—based things, but we don't really do a lot of that at the moment and we could be better with that. as a parent, iam busy, but actually, i need to just make these changes for the better, really. it's kind of the next generation that will be left with these problems. and we'll all need to be part of the solution. according to one in—depth study of our energy use, the uk could halve its demand for energy by 2050 without compromising our quality of life.

we've got to reduce emissions so quickly over the next ten years that it means that everybody needs to be involved in the debate and in positive changes. low emissions, researchers say, means less consumption. as well as cutting our meat intake, most of us could reduce how many calories we eat. buying less and repairing more could help make a dent in the mountain of electrical waste we produce every year, and researchers are calling for investment in public transport and cycling networks to increase tenfold in the next decade to help us all decarbonise our travel. to work out what that means for the day to day, we organised for edie and jo to get expert advice. i'd never want anyone to feel guilty about their carbon footprint. it's not always easy to make changes. you could considerjourneys under a particular distance, a shortjourney, could be done by cycling or walking. well, we are definitely up for the challenge, aren't we, edie? yes, we will try our very best this week. come on, mister! we are just about to walk to the shop.

this week we've been driving less and walking more and also using plant —based alternative. edie, jo, how did it go, the challenge? we started this week. we tried really hard to walk where that was reasonably practical, but i don't think we ate as many plant—based alternatives as we could have done. i think they've done fantastically well. lots of the changes can lead to a healthier, more active lifestyle as well, and i think that is what's positive about this. to slash our emissions as quickly as we need to, scientists say most of us will need to rethink our daily habits and consume a little bit less. victoria gill, bbc news. and before we go tonight, we want to wish a happy birthday to ourselves. bbc tv is 85 years old. at 3pm local time on 2nd november, 1936, the bbc launched its first regular tv

service from north london. there was a newsreel, a variety show, music, including the first—ever performance by the bbc tv orchestra. hello there. it's staying pretty cold now for the rest of this week. there will be quite a bit of sunshine around by day, but it will be chilly at night with frosts and fog in places. now, through the day there will be quite a bit of sunshine in central and southern areas, but also some showers. this mainly affecting coastal areas. got low pressure to the north of the uk, this is where we are seeing the strongest of the winds today and weather fronts enhancing the shower activity. although most of them will be affecting coastal areas all around the country down into west wales and the southwest, northern parts of northern ireland and much of the eastern side of the country. some of the showers across the northeast, east of england will push into the midlands. so a bit cloudy here, more than we have had the last few days. some of the showers heavy with some hail and thunder mixed in, and they will be

wintry over the high ground, particularly across northern scotland with the strongest of the winds. further south the winds will be lighter. it's going to be a chilly day wherever you are, highs of six to eight in the north, nine to 11 further south. through wednesday night it stays quite blustery in the north, further coastal showers and many central areas will turn dry with lengthy clear skies again. winds will be lighter here. but stronger winds across the eastern side of england, more cloud. not quite as cold here as what it will be further west, and across the north we will have some frost and also some patches of fog. now as we move towards thursday into friday we start to see a change to the weather. this area of high pressure begins to build in from the west. it kills off lots of the showers, but what it is also going to do is cut off the arctic air supply as our wind begins to veer more west and southwesterly direction. so that will bring milder air back to our shores as you can see here from the orange and yellow colours. thursday, then, another cold start with frost and fog around. and then it is bright. plenty of sunshine around, more sunshine around on thursday. still a few showers across the eastern coasts again down into the far southwest. later in the day, thicker cloudy, patchy rain pushing into the northwest of the uk

as we start to pick up westerly winds. temperature slowly rising here, otherwise for most again it is a chilly day. as we move out from thursday into friday we start to see an area of high pressure toppling down towards the south of the country, and that will allow this area of low pressure to move in across the north at the start of the weekend. so it will be turning milder towards the end of the week, particularly as we head on into the weekend. low pressure will start to bring wetter and windier weather to northern areas, and will tend to stay drier and brighter the further south and east you are.

this is bbc news, the headlines: leaders at the climate change summit in glasgow say they've made progress in the race to limit global warming. there have been bold commitments to end deforestation by 2030 and to reduce emissions of methane. the cop26 host, borisjohnson says it's time to deliver on the promises. a four—year—old girl who disappeared from a campsite in australia more than two weeks ago has been found alive inside a locked house. cleo smith vanished from her family's tent near the town of carnarvon in october. a man is being questioned by the police. america's centers for disease control and prevention, has given its final approval for children aged five to 11, to receive the pfizer—biontech covid vaccine. federal administrators say the decision has cleared the way for the vaccination of up to 28 million children.
