the un climate summit has ended in glasgow with an agreement to strenghthen emissions—cutting targets for 2030. summit president, alok sharma, said the deal would keep within reach the goal of limiting temperature rises to 1.5 degrees celsius. but that it would only survive if countries kept their promises. an intervention from india watered down the agreement. the final text changed the wording phasing out of coal to phasing down, leaving many nations deeply disappointed. the un secretary—general said the world was still knocking on the door of a climate catastrophe. and belarus says it's stepping up humanitarian support to migrants trapped on the border with poland. the european union accuses belarus of using them as political pawns, in retaliation for eu sanctions against minsk. a puppet show with a difference has opened in london.

award season is going to be packed with some great cinema, it also proved to me that a well curated in person film festival can function, and indeed flourish, in pandemic times. although telluride does play a role in the early 0scars race, it is really the venice film festival that gets the ball rolling with more spectacle. this year it opened one day before telluride, and emma jones was there for talking movies, looking for those of venice films that had 0scars heat. those of venice films that had oscars heat-— those of venice films that had oscars heat. venice en'oyed its american dream _ oscars heat. venice enjoyed its american dream again, - oscars heat. venice enjoyed its american dream again, with . oscars heat. venice enjoyed its| american dream again, with the return of hollywood stars after year and a half of nightmare for the film industry. the red carpets were crowned with famous faces, and the competition with award season �*s hopefuls. competition with award season 's hopefuls-— 's hopefuls. the venice leader alwa s 's hopefuls. the venice leader always makes _ 's hopefuls. the venice leader always makes a _ 's hopefuls. the venice leader always makes a beautiful- always makes a beautiful setting for hollywood to launch its award season hopefuls, and

welcome to toronto! normally it is a bustling showcase, overflowing with movie riches. but this year, because of covid—19, it was somewhat more subdued. the princess of wales theatre hosted the world premier of the eyes of tammy faye, starring jessica chastain. aprilformants but is all but guaranteed to bring her an oscar nomination. her portrait of the late us televangelist who, with her husband jim baker, televangelist who, with her husbandjim baker, co—founded a christian tv programme, the ptl club, in the 1970s, is mesmerising. jim baker was convicted on counts of fraud in connection with their ptl ministries and sent to jail. for many americans, tammy faye baker, loved by herfollowers, stayed in the public consciousness is a figure of ridicule. this film takes her seriously. ridicule. this film takes her seriously-— ridicule. this film takes her seriousl. . , seriously. that was my goal. it came from _ seriously. that was my goal. it came from first _

5:50 am
christmas with the royal family at sandringham in 1991. presents her as being psychologically vulnerable and under the controlling grip of an unsympathetic royal household. it's an image of a british icon that has been shaped very much by outsiders. the filmmaker is hla and and the woman who plays diana as the woman who plays diana as the american actress kristen stewart. bringing a story about the so—called people's princess to london where diana princess of wales lived for many years was a big moment for the cast and crew of spencer. it's does and crew of spencer. it's does an american, kristen stewart, as directed by chile and filmmaker pablo larrain and was partly made in germany but there is a supporting cast of actors and still feels the film belongs to britain's. i actors and still feels the film belongs to britain's.- belongs to britain's. i feel like we are _ belongs to britain's. i feel like we are bringing i belongs to britain's. i feel like we are bringing it i belongs to britain's. i feel. like we are bringing it home for her completely. 0ne like we are bringing it home for her completely. one of the reasons it is fun to talk about

off on a rather cloudy note. there could be a little bit of sunshine, too, but also some mist and fog patches to watch out for. i think into the afternoon, much of england and wales should tend to see more holes breaking in the cloud with some sunny spells. a few showers across the south—east there, but the wettest and breeziest of the weather will be across the north and west of scotland, perhaps north—western parts of northern ireland. 11—14 degrees — pretty mild — but we could see 15 degrees for belfast. now, as we head through sunday night, that weather front in the north—west begins to sink southwards and eastwards but as it's running into an area of high pressure, it will begin to fizzle out, so the rain will get lighter. there will be some heavier bursts on it, i think, during sunday night. those temperatures range from around 6—11 degrees. so this weather front will be sinking slowly south—eastwards, almost grinding to a halt. as it pushes into that area of high pressure, it will fizzle out through the day. so we start off with some patchy rain for southern scotland, just pushing into parts of north west england, north west wales, but you can see it fades away and just leaves no more than a band of cloud. behind it, skies brighten for scotland and northern ireland — just a few blustery showers but a much better day. and further south and east,

it's another rather cloudy one for much of england and wales — limited sunshine once again. temperatures 11—12, maybe 13 degrees. as we move through the rest of the week, it stays mild or even turns very mild at times, particularly across southern areas, and most of the wind and the rain will be confined to the north of the uk, as you can see here. as we run through tuesday into wednesday, it's low pressure to the north of the uk which will bring these spells of wetter and windy weather. further south, closer to this area of high pressure, this is where we will see the lighter winds and the more settled conditions. but you'll see how mild it is — temperatures reaching the mid—teens at times, particularly across southern areas. quite a bit of cloud around, limited sunshine with most of the rain confined to northern areas. see you later.
