people want us to get things done. they want us to get things done, and that's why i am continuing to push for very hard for the democratic party to move along and pass my infrastructure bill, and my build back better bill. the us blacklists an israeli company that makes spyware, which has allegedly been used by governments to hack into the phones of political rivals. one of england's top cricket clubs is at the centre of a race controversy, as former player azeem rafiq receives an apology over racist bullying. and the star of the docu—series, tiger king, joe exotic, reveals he's suffering from cancer, asking fans to demand his release from prison.

carbon emissions across the world are expected to rebound this year to levels last seen before the coronavirus pandemic. let's take a look at some of the numbers. emissions fell by 5.4% in 2020 due to covid—19 restrictions and lockdowns around the world. but they're estimated to rise 4.9% this year. that's 36.4 tons of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, which puts emissions almost back at 2019 levels. researchers say that if present trends continue, we could exceed that limit in 11 years unless ambitious goals to cut emissions are achieved. well at the cop summit, banks and investors have been making pledges towards fighting climate change. $130 trillion has been set aside to finance the measures, but there's criticism that they don't go far enough, and fast enough to prevent the world reaching that tipping point of extreme climate change. here's our economics

editor, faisal islam. extinction... rebellion! outside the climate summit on glasgow's streets, some protesters distinctly unimpressed with the role of banks at the cop talks. inside, the world's finance ministers are promising to change the entire system in response to a ticking environmental clock. alarm clock rings. good morning, and welcome to cop26 finance day. the main result — the world's banks, pension funds and insurers promising to invest and lend in a way consistent with net—zero by 2050. that's £95 trillion of funds, or two fifths of the whole of globalfinance. so bankers and traders in suits are today's equivalents of the famous eco—warriors of three decades ago, says the summit�*s president. you, my friends, are the new swampys, so be proud. can it really be the case that the bankers and financiers

can save the world from climate change? that's the hope underlying these incredible numbers, that the lending decisions to businesses large and small will transform entire sectors, from energy to transport, from food to retail. and for politicians, this is a lot more palatable than telling consumers, voters, that their behaviour has to change. one british bank chief from the institution that funded north sea oil and gas told the bbc that tough conversations in these sectors where carbon emissions were difficult to limit were already happening. we are very clear that we are ending funding of harmful activity, and we will only work with people with a credible transition plan aligned with paris. the announcements made this morning will discourage finance going to new coal mines or oilfields, for example, but they won't absolutely prevent such flows. rich nations have also delayed long—promised funds for poorer countries to help with climate change.

the international energy agency has come out and said that to get to 1.5, we need to cease all new fossil—fuel financing. these commitments today don't add up to that, so we need to see further ambition on moving our investments away from brown into green. why are you giving tax breaks to fossil—fuel companies? green campaigners were crying foul directly to the chancellor on the site of the negotiations. he acclaimed the uk at the centre of a tidal wave of global green banking — the hope that the carrot of cheap finance, rather than the stick of tough regulations, is the answer for the world. faisal islam, bbc news. president biden has admitted people are "upset and uncertain about a lot of things". it follows a surprise defeat for his democratic party in the race for govenor of virginia. in another strongly democratic state — newjersey — the sitting govenor only narrowly won re—election. the shock results have boosted republican hopes of winning back control of congress in the mid term elections next

year. key parts of mr biden�*s agenda are being held up by lawmakers, and the president says he's determined to push them through. no governor in virginia has ever won when he or she is of the same party as the sitting president. what i do know is, i do know that people want us to get things done. they want us to get things done. and that's why i'm continuing to push very hard for the democratic party to move along and pass my infrastructure bill and my build back better bill. democratic pollster jeff horwitt is senior vice president at hart research associates. he's in arlington virginia. do you get the sense that president bowden is rattled by this? _ this? yes, look, this? - yes, look, last this? — yes, look, last night was not a happy note for democrats in

virginia, newjersey, and i think he is focused on what comes next. what comes next is getting things done, and that is really where democrats are today, where they need to be two passes legislation that is going to make a difference in peoples lives, particularly in their pocket books. that is what he would like people to be focused on, but this is, as we say, quite a shock. is it significant? a narrow victory, a loss on the other, is this significant? it is not necessarily a shock, look back in history and what happens in virginia, particularly during five year elections. —— off year. this is what happened in virginia in 2009 after president obama's victory. the republicans took control in virginia in 2009, so thatis control in virginia in 2009, so that is true to form. what happens here is a signal to the

power in washington that there is dissatisfaction about what is dissatisfaction about what is going on, and the democrats need to be getting going on delivering what they promised. could the satisfaction be down to him? he was asked if he took any blame and he said people are concerned and upset about a lot of things, including the pandemic and economy. does he need to assess more in his role about that? i think what he is doing exit exactly the right thing, getting things done. there will be plenty of blame but what members of congress, members across the country need to do is what the democrats didn't twenty20, promised to pass legislation that would make a difference, and do so in a confident way that gets rid the chaos. one of the more damning reports was that republicans have a13—point reports was that republicans have a is—point advantage in getting things done. and for

the party in power to have a party out of power have an advantage in that, that is what really needs to be addressed and that is of the imperative is in passing this legislation now and delivering for the american people. 0k, american people. ok, thank you forjoining us, jeff horwitt. let's get some of the day's other news. ethiopia's prime minister, abee ahmed, has pledged to bury what he called "the enemy" with the "blood and bones of his forces". his address marked the first anniversary of the war in tigray. facebook has removed a post from mr abiy calling on civilians to take up arms against the tigrayans. research in england has provided the first evidence worldwide that vaccination can drastically reduce cases of cervical cancer in women. the study followed girls vaccinated in 2008 and found that rates of cervical cancer in those jabbed aged 12 and 13, now in their 20s, were 87% lower than for those not immunised. talks to revive the 2015 nuclear deal between iran and six other nations are due to restart later this month. tehran�*s chief negotiator says his government has agreed

to a conference in vienna, five months after the last round. the american music star, britney spears has blamed her mother for the conservatorship that was imposed on her 13 years ago. in a now deleted instagram post, ms spears said her mother had given herfather the idea, adding that he wasn't smart enough to think of it himself. the us has blacklisted an israeli company that makes pegasus spyware, which has allegedly been used by governments to hack into the phones of political rivals, journalists, activists and lawyers. along with nso, the commerce department has also blocked another israeli company, candiru, saying there was evidence they had supplied spyware to foreign governments that used these tools to "maliciously target" numerous individuals and "to conduct transnational repression". john scott—railton is a senior researcher at the university of toronto's citizen's lab.

he is part of one of the leading teams in the world looking at how the pegasus spyware is being used. thank you for coming on. just tell is very briefly how this works in terms of getting onto people's phones, and what is most concerning is that they have no way of knowing it. that's exactly right, this is a piece of sophisticated spyware that can impact your phone without a link, without a click. once your phone is infected, the spyware has access to everything you do on your phone — your conversations, encrypted messages, it can even switch on the microphone and camera silently. obviously a really powerful piece of technology and one that has a history of abuse. so it could turn your microphone on your phone on, basically because two yes, it could turn your phone into a spy could turn your phone into a spy in your pocket. what do you make of this

blacklisting by president biden? it is an interesting sign from the biden administration that they are really concerned, not only about companies like nso specifically, but about the global marketplace for mercenary spyware, mercenary hacking tools being sold to autocrat after autocrat and feeling, in many ways, a lot of dictatorial regimes' oppression. but this decision to what president biden has done basically stops american companies from exporting their goods and services to the n50 group? that's right, there are two impacts, one is the direct impacts, one is the direct impact on american companies, and obviously this has an effect on those relationships, but it also more consequentially signals to the world of finance that nso consequentially signals to the world of finance that n50 is potentially a risky investment. for a company that has ambitions to keep growing and keep getting investment, this makes this a real hot potato.

nso claims its software is only salty military, law enforcement and intelligence agencies from countries with good human rights record, it also talks about how its technology has helped maintain us national security by preventing terrorism and crime. that is their side of it. do you think that other governments will follow? it is interesting that they are claiming to help us national security because the us government has clearly assessed in writing that nso's —— nso government has clearly assessed in writing that nso's —— n50 is potential risk. i think a of other governments are recognising how serious a problem nso recognising how serious a problem n50 is, potentially even for themselves and for their personal phones. a fact that a foreign leader could potentially — emanuel candiru could be targeted by this without knowing and that is deeply concerning. i think we will see more and more governments come through and say publicly what they have

been saying privately for a while — there is a marketplace was less, it is out of control and it is causing harm around the world, including to national security. nso says it is advocating for this decision to be reversed, of course. thank you for joining us. that was cyber security researcher, john scott—railton. stay with us on bbc news, still to come: we'll tell you why the star of the docu—series tiger king is asking his fans to demand his release from prison. 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 extremist jewish 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: carbon emissions are set to rebound, rising by almost the same amount they dipped in 2020.

president biden urges democrats to press ahead with his agenda after the party suffers a shock defeat in the state of virginia. one of england's top cricket clubs, yorkshire, is at the centre of a bitter race controversy. a former player azeem rafiq, received an apology after an independent report found he had been the victim of racist harassment and bullying. but no action has been taken against staff or players sparking widespread anger — and now sponsors have withdrawn their support. here's our sports editor dan roan. it's the most successful club in the history of county cricket, but yorkshire is now engulfed in a racism scandal centred on former player azeem rafiq. an independent panel found the spin bowler had been the victim of racial harassment and bullying while at the club. yorkshire apologised, but took no action against any member of staff, and political pressure has been intensifying. what we've read is deeply shocking and one of the most disturbing events in modern cricket history, in my view. i can think of very few reasons why the board of yorkshire cricket club should remain in place. after a leak of the investigation�*s findings, it emerged that a current

yorkshire player repeatedly used a racially offensive term towards rafiq about his pakistani heritage, but the panel regarded it as friendly banter, sparking an outcry. tonight, after mounting speculation, former england star gary ballance revealed he was the player concerned. in a statement the yorkshire batsman said i regret these exchanges took place, but at no time did i believe or understand that it had caused rafa distress. if i had believed that, then i would have stopped immediately. he was my best mate in cricket and i cared deeply for him. i'm aware of how hurtful the racial slur is, and i regret that i used this word in immature exchanges in my younger years, and i am sure rafa feels the same about some of the things he said to me as well. earlier, on a dramatic day, a host of yorkshire's sponsors ended their partnerships with the club, as the fall out continued. emerald publishing, which has the naming rights to headingley, yorkshire tea, local brewer tetleys and leisure club operator david lloyd all turning their back on the beleaguered county. it's over a year since rafiq

alleged institutional racism. playing professional cricket for yorkshire should be the best time of your life. unfortunately for me, it wasn't. now, with the ecb launching their own investigation, the crisis threatens to undermine the wider game's efforts to tackle discrimination in the sport. a british fishing trawler — detained by the french authorities for the last week because of the row over fishing licences — has been allowed to leave le havre, after being held there for a week. the captain, jondy ward, told the bbc that he had been "caught in the middle" of a row between the uk and france over post—brexit fishing licences. with relations at their lowest point for many years, the brexit minister, david frost, is due in paris tomorrow to try to find a way out of the dispute. our paris correspondant lucy williamson reports. detained a week ago for entering french waters without permission, captainjondy ward and his crew tonight got

permission to leave. it'll not take us long to get ready to go to sea. half an hour, kind of notice will get the engine fired up and we'll get out of here. arriving back at his boat from a court hearing in le havre, today captain ward told the bbc in his first broadcast interview that he didn't understand why the cornelis gert jan was missing from the eu register. we had all our documents on the bridges, all in order, we have our licence to fish, everything like this, but i don't know if it was a clerical error or what caused it. does he think he's been caught up in a wider political row, my colleague asked him? the fishing row? definitely. i think we're kind of caught in the middle of this. fishing licenses have been a sensitive topic for months. under the brexit deal, french boats can still fish in british coastal waters, if they can prove they fished there before.

the uk says some boats don't meet its criteria. france says it's deliberately blocking applications. by the beginning of this week, paris was threatening to apply customs checks to every lorry crossing the channel. the uk was threatening legal action if it did. with britain and france both threatening concrete action, the brexit minister, david frost, is due here tomorrow, to try to find a way out. technical problems over paperwork are one thing, but this is about more than that. it is about trust, between france and post—brexit britain. at a briefing at the elysee palace today, i asked the government spokesman what concrete measures france needed to call off the threat of sanctions. i just told you. we are just waiting for one thing, is for the uk to respect the deal that they signed. but the deal was vague, wasn't it? is this just a technical misunderstanding? i really don't think so. i don't think

it was that vague. tonight the cornelis gert jan left le havre. its captain will be back to face charges next year. one small boat navigating the gap between paperwork and politics, as tricky for fishermen as it is for politicians. lucy williamson, bbc news, paris. joe exotic became a household name in march 2020 after the netflix docu—series, �*tiger king' became a cultural phenomenon. he's currently serving a 22—year prison sentence in texas after being found guilty of multiple charges of animal abuse and two counts of attempted murder for hire. on wednesday, joe exotic, took to social media announcing a biopsy has revealed he's suffering from an aggressive form of cancer and called for supporters to be his voice to be released. for more on this i'm joined byjoe exotic�*s lawyer, john phillips. just explained to me what he is

and before we go, diwali, the five—day festival of lights is currently being celebrated by millions of hindus, sikhs and jains across the world. thursday is the main day of celebrations. you won't have to look far to see houses, shops and public places decorated with small oil lamps. people are also enjoying fireworks and sweets too. each religion marks different historical events and stories, but together celebrate new beginnings and the triumph of good over evil. and the largest hoard of anglo—saxon gold coins has been declared as treasure. 131 gold coins and four objects were uncovered from a field in norfolk over a period of 30 years. most of the hall was discovered by a metal detector rest who reported his findings to the authority. ten coins were found by a serving police officer who tried to sell them and was jailed for 16 months. the objects state to about 11100 years ago. —— date to about.

reminder of our top story. carbon emissions across the world are set to rebound two levels from before the coronavirus pandemic stopping the findings show that carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere will rise by almost the same amount that they decreased in 2020 and many countries went into lockdown. the findings challenge efforts to limit global warming 1.5 degrees celsius, the tipping point for dangerous climate change. there is plenty more on our website. you can reach me on twitter — i'm @lucyegrey. thanks for watching. hello. a chillier feel to the weather this thursday. yesterday we saw some decent sunshine early on in the day, and the cloud built up. today it's likely to be a similar scenario.

but where we do have the sunshine, it will still feel cooler because of the wind, and because we've pulled in colder airfrom the north through the course of the night. a frost to start the day, all the way down from scotland into the welsh marshes. milder initially across eastern england, but here, a chance of some showers through the day, some coming in down the north sea coast, as well, and nagging northerly wind here. again, showers for pembrokeshire and cornwall. for the majority, though, it's shaping up to be a fine day with some sunny spells, temperatures at best 9—10 celsius and feeling cooler because of the breeze. but you'll notice through thursday evening and overnight more cloud coming into the north of the uk, it will bring a bit of rain, as well. this is a chilly warm front — the clue is of course in the name. it's ushering in warmerair behind it so by the end of thursday night, friday morning, it's actually much milder across scotland and northern ireland. and that milder air will then continue to tip its way south across the uk through friday around this big area of high pressure. so high pressure

keeps things fine, it should also means the winds become lighter and, with the milder air moving in, it will just feel a little bit warmer on friday. a lot of fine weather, perhaps the sunshine not quite as widespread, but the temperatures lift up by 1—2 degrees. and it will remain fine into the evening if you have plans for bonfire night. aside from, i think some rain for northern and western scotland. and for the weekend, we are looking at milder air taking over from the atlantic. perhaps not especially mild, but certainly warmer than the air will be sitting in for thursday. saturday, very windy across the uk, some rain for northern ireland and scotland to start the day. a bit brighter come the afternoon with some showers but temperatures, we're looking at 13—14 celsius with sunshine to the south. sunday, lighter winds. we're still in a relatively milder air. picking up a little bit of a northwesterly, though, across scotland, it could feel perhaps a shade cooler here, but i think the offset will be that it will be a drier and brighter day than saturday.

this is bbc news, the headlines: carbon emissions are set to rebound after the covid—19 dip — rising by almost the same amount that they dropped in 2020. researchers say that if present trends continue, we could exceed that limit in 11 years unless ambitious goals to cut emissions are achieved. resident biden urges democrats to press ahead with his agenda
