minute by india and china. and — the netherlands becomes the first country in western europe to re—enter a partial coronavirus lockdown this autumn. hello and welcome if you're watching in the uk or around the world. buckingham palace says queen elizabeth has sprained her back and has, with great regret, decided not to attend the annual remembrance day service in london to honour britain's war dead. the service would have been the queen's first public engagement since she was advised to rest following a night in hospital last month. the queen, who is 95, regards the service as one of her most important public duties. our royal correspondentjonny dymond is at the cenotaph in westminster.

it's what one palace official describes as incredibly unfortunate timing, and that is bad timing on two fronts. primarily because it is remembrance sunday, it is a national service of remembrance here in the uk. it's the most important day in the royal calendar, the day when the royal family in general, and the queen in particular, pays tribute to those who laid down their lives for their country. but there is a second piece of bad timing, which is that the queen had effectively taken two weeks off from official engagements. a fortnight ago it was announced that she'd no longer be doing any external engagements. instead she'd be resting at windsor. and that was specifically so that she could be here in central london at this most important day for her, at remembrance sunday, and attend this service. and when that announcement was made two weeks ago, the palace said it was herfirm intention to be here. in the statement they spoke of the queen's deep regret

that she wouldn't be here, and her disappointment. so as that official said, incredibly unfortunate timing, that this accident, this back sprain should come just at the end of the period that she was resting, just as she hoped to make a public appearance at this remembrance sunday event here in central london. world leaders have struck a landmark climate change deal aimed at reducing global warming, after two weeks of intense negotiations. the glasgow climate pact is the most significant of its kind since 2015 — but many experts argue that the pledges don't go far enough to limit global temperature rise to 1.5 degrees celsius. let's go to glasgow and annita mcveigh is there. it has been really interesting to compare the hopes and expectations at the beginning of cop tour we now.

it was from dramatic conclusion. the cop resident alok sharma had been trying to move these intense negotiations to a conclusion. he had asked countries not to love is the final moments, don't ask what more can i seek, but rather does it provide enough for all of us. then even as some smaller and more climate vulnerable country said it wasn't perfect and that they would sign up to it probably because with nothing, india backed by china made that intervention on coal, changing the wording of the deal from a phasing out coal to a phasing down of coal. an 11th hour change to the wording of that deal. earlier today alok sharma... earlier today alok sharma the cop26 president was asked about the last—minute intervention by india and china which resulted in the watering down of the agreement on coal from phasing "out" to phasing "down" use. hearing no objections it is so decided. after two weeks of sleepless nights

and negotiations over every detail, a glasgow pact on climate change was finally agreed. it was almost derailed at the last moment as india requested a change, watering down a critical line about phasing out coal. and there were emotional scenes as cop president alok sharma acknowledged the disappointment over that concession and at what was at stake. may i just say to all delegates, i apologise for the way this process has unfolded and i am deeply sorry. i also understand the deep disappointment, but i think, as you have noted, it's also vital that we protect this package. silence in auditorium. applause. but, still, this climate pledge, signed off by 197 nations, has made history. this is the first cop agreement

to mention fossilfuels, the very stuff of greenhouse gas emissions. but while prime minister boris johnson had previously talked about glasgow being the beginning of the end of climate change, reacting to this deal he sounded less certain. we can't kid ourselves, we haven't beaten climate change and it would be fatal to think that we have, because there is so much more that still needs to be done. but what we do have now is a viable roadmap. but environmental campaigners who've been watching this process for many years are encouraged by some of the pledges. climate change and the nature crisis, they are two sides of the same coin, we can't take them apart from each other and we need to have a response that takes both of those at the same time. so it's great declarations on forests, we've seen some good words on oceans at the same time, but we need to make sure they're really followed up with actions in the years ahead. the real test of what's been agreed to here in glasgow will be if all those commitments can be

acted upon quickly enough, if that political process can catch up with the speed at which the world is warming up. for the most vulnerable nations, low—lying islands facing the most dangerous impacts of storms and sea level rise, this is a matter of life and death. i'm exhausted. but we not only fought a good fight, but we're going to live to fight another day and we did so much that, as a very small island country, i can be deeply proud of. as nations are asked to come back in 2022 with more ambitious pledges to cut greenhouse gas emissions and catch up with the pace of climate change, tired negotiators are already planning for the next climate summit. victoria gill, bbc news, in glasgow. earlier today alok sharma

the cop26 president was asked about the last—minute intervention by india and china which resulted in the watering down of the agreement on coal from phasing "out" to phasing "down" use. myjob was to build consensus. the reason that even though this happened in this manner and of course i apologise for the fact that it wasn't as transparent as the rest of this process has been, but at the end of the day the reason we were able to get this over the line is because over two years my team and i have built trust among countries around the world. did they look you in the eye and say sorry, we can't do this? over the past weeks obviously certain countries did not want to have coal language in this compact, but at the end of the day this is the first time ever we have got language about coal in a cop decision. i think that is historic, but at the end of the day china and india will have to explain themselves, to the most climate—vulnerable countries in the world. you saw the reaction of the climate—vulnerable countries to that change.

the un's chief climate negotiator patricia espinosa was also asked about the decision in the final agreement to water down that commitment. it is true and i would like to underline that the huge step forward in our negotiation was the fact that for the first time in this context we mentioned coal and fossil fuels. before it had not been possible. because there are so many different realities, we have to be very conscious that there are millions of people also that depend on fossil fuel industry and in terms of coal there are many people, especially vulnerable and poor people, that also depend on that as a source of energy. so it is really a very difficult issue. on the one hand we have clarity

but that is a very big source of emissions and we need to get rid of that. on the other hand we need to also balance out the social concept, for so many people around the world, especially poor countries. earlier i spoke to chaitanya kumar, who is head of environment at the new economics foundation think—tank, and asked him what impact the glasgow deal might have. i think it was quite interesting to see how it has become quite a contentious issue, only the last couple of days of negotiations. bubbled up in the service as a key negotiating agenda. but let's be honest, they have been debating loss and damage for several years now and vulnerable countries, and admissions have been asking

for climate reparations, loss and damage for quite while. to just be left with a promise of further dialogue on this issue when what we should have been seeing is actual cash on the table for these countries is a bit disappointing, to be honest. but that was the outcome. we will see a lot more next year and is change intensifies and gets severe, the need for loss and damage and reparations will be getting far bigger. it is interesting to reflect how we saw really climate change, vulnerable countries like the marshall islands and so on, sign up to this deal, they said it wasn't perfect but they said it was important not to go away from glasgow without something signed off, yet towards the end that pretty last—minute intervention, india and china changing the text leading to a change in the text on dealing with coal from phasing out to phasing down, was this a real example of the inequalities at an event like this

where you have the big geopolitical muscle exerting pressure? i think in the reporting we have seen so far, the missing piece has been on finance. if you remember when you walked into negotiations a couple of weeks ago, finance was the big thing, the fact that $100 billion the developed nations had made, we still haven't seen that commitment being made on the promise was still not met and have started up negotiations with the case of mistrust. we still haven't seen that amount committed to fully. yes, 23, 2a is when we will see 100 billion dollars level reached but with climate change getting more severe we should be seeing a lot more of climate finance. without that finance being adjacent to requests for cutting carbon i am not surprised india and china have come up with this last—minute change in the negotiation text because they suddenly saw that as developed nations closing

in and saying this is how you phase out coal very quickly while oil and gas, still talking just about inefficient subsidies as opposed to phasing out fossil fuels like oil and gas. there is a bit of yes, you're right, geopolitical muscle being applied, notjust by india and china but by us and the eu and the uk have basically shifted the tone and language around fossil fuels and toned it down a bit. cop president alok sharma said he would continue to exert pressure and try to keep your momentum going over the next 12 months to deal with climate change. it was clear from the beginning not every country would come away from this process getting everything they wanted in this deal but there were very different interpretations as to how

the various countries have fared based on their size, the amount of that geopolitical muscle that i have. it is hard tojudge that geopolitical muscle that i have. it is hard to judge the legacy and the ultimate success of glasgow in the here and now. that can only be dealt i think especially over the next ten years, this decisive decade up next ten years, this decisive decade up to 2030 when process is set in place by getting every country to report annually on their climate action plans. it is only at the end of that period that i think we will be able tojudge of that period that i think we will be able to judge the real legacy of cop26 here in glasgow. back to you. the headlines on bbc news... the queen misses the remembrance day service in central london after spraining her back. a new global climate deal is struck in glasgow but pledges still aren't enough to limit warming to 1.5 degrees. let's talk more about remberance day, a service has taken place at the cenotaph in london. the prince of wales and prime minister were among those

laying a wreath at the war memorial for the national service of remembrance. as we've been reporting the queen was unable to attend because she has injured her back. our correspondent lebo diseko is at the cenotaph in london now. as you can probably hear the veterans march past the cenotaph is still taking place. some 10,000 veterans taking part in that, 300 different associations. a very different associations. a very different from last year where because of the coronavirus pandemic things were much more pared down in terms of numbers. just 25 veterans taking part last year. someone who knows a lot about the arrangements for the veterans march is major alex owens from the royal british legion. you have been watching this debate. how did it feel watching them all back. it how did it feel watching them all back. , ,., how did it feel watching them all back. , ,, u, how did it feel watching them all back. , ,, ':: :::::: back. it is so special. 10,000 --eole back. it is so special. 10,000 peeple all— back. it is so special. 10,000 peeple all in _ back. it is so special. 10,000 people all in one _ back. it is so special. 10,000 people all in one place - back. it is so special. 10,000 people all in one place with i back. it is so special. 10,000 i people all in one place with their medals_ people all in one place with their medals on— people all in one place with their medals on anthony perez on, looking

the british ambassador and other commonwealth ambassadors. not this year. there is no british ambassador and scarcely any british people left in the country. there are some breeds but most of them are from previous occasions. the one in the middle arrived on the 11th of november. —— wreaths. this was from canada. although this is a british territory many countries have buried their dead here. south africa, spain, france, and other countries. a lot of people naturally would say 450 a lot of people naturally would say a50 british deaths and all the others in a war that was lost was just a complete waste of time. i don't think many afghans would think that. they would see how their lives have been transformed in the last 20 years in every way, economically,

education in ordinary social life. they will be demanding that the taliban should continue to provide those kind of freedoms. large number of migrants have also been arriving in the uk on small boats from france. over a thousand people crossed the channel on thursday — a new peak for a single day. the uk home secretary, priti patel, will hold talks this week with her french counterpart, gerald darmanin, to discuss the issue. our reporter simonjones is following latest developments. this is a shared problem that requires shared solutions. priti patel in a statement this morning has said britain and france are already working very closely together to try to stop boats launching from beaches in northern france and trying to tackle the people smugglers organising the crossings, but she says the two countries need to go further and faster. it is not entirely clear what she means by this, whether there will be any new solutions proposed, new ideas put on the table when this meeting takes place later this week,

but i think it is fair to say over the past few days there has been a bit of a war of words between britain and france after 1185 migrants reached the uk on 33 boats on thursday. we had the prime minister boris johnson saying france needed to police their beaches and some suggestion there was a reluctance on the part of france to do this. you had france hitting back and saying they are working day and night to try to stop the crossings to try to prevent lives being lost. at the time priti patel met them back in london in september it is fair to say the meeting didn't go well because britain had just promised france £5a million to stop the crossings, increase patrols on beaches in france but britain said the money was dependent upon results, france said that clause is new to us and you had them accusing printing of financial blackmail but all the time you have this war

of words taking place, these crossings continue and record numbers of people are losing their lives. the austrian chancellor has announced that unvaccinated citizens are to be placed into lockdown. alexander schallenberg said the new rules will apply from tomorrow. roughly 65% of the population is fully vaccinated against covid—19, one of the lowest rates in western europe. mr schallenberg described this as "shamefully low". a new partial lockdown has been imposed in the netherlands. due to record coronavirus infections and rising intensive care cases. anna holligan sent this report. under the new dutch rules, bars, cafes and restaurants can serve until 8pm and diners need to show a covid entry pass. this three—week long lockdown—lite is designed to limit social interactions in response to a sharp increase in infections. a record number of new cases recorded in just one day this week. they remain stubbornly high.

normally everybody is sitting here having dinner. and drinks, dinner. it's empty. yep. crazy. it costs money. people think it's not fair because i know there's covid—19. but for two hours, what's the difference, four hours? they are going to have parties in their house now. so you're not going to solve the problem, actually. a maximum of four visitors a day are allowed at home but this measure is especially difficult to police. other entrepreneurs have vowed to ignore the early last orders rule. klaxons. anti—lockdown, antivax protesters and conspiracy propagators who hurled fireworks at riot police dominated the headlines, they represent only a minority. most people here in the netherlands reluctantly agreed that sacrificing parts of their social lives

will contribute to the greater good. i don't think life is going to stop. it's frustrating, especially as we had a taste of what life is like, opening up afterwards. i think frustration is the biggest thing but again, public safety comes first. you've got to do what you've got to do, i suppose. there are of course other social activities but i mean, as a young person, this is something that is kind of what we do. as have some stress release, some wine, some beers. have a good time. so a little bit, yeah, i do think it disproportionately affects young people. the mandatory early closing time does not apply to artistic and cultural performances and sports events can go ahead. but without spectators. considerable frustration and consternation exists among people who diligently report their masks, kept their distances, and turned up for theirjabs too.

i have been vaccinated but i know i can still get it but you know, it's gone on a bit long. the dutch are displaying a determination to live within the limitations. but many are increasingly asking when will this be over? anna holligan, bbc news, the hague. hello. some of you will head into the afternoon with some sunshine. for a few, it's still a bit cloudy, further patchy rain or drizzle through the second half of the day, particularly across some parts of the far south—east of england. may be drizzly around some western coasts of england and wales too with extensive low cloud, but some of the wettest conditions mainly confined to the highlands and islands of scotland. as a weather front approaches, the breeze picks up, but here and northern ireland, some of the mildest conditions, 13 to 15 degrees. most places around 11 to 13 celsius. still a degree or two higher than the average for this stage in november.

mild enough night to come tonight, but rain at times across scotland and northern ireland. there will be the odd spot of drizzle for england and wales, most places though will stay dry. greater chance of mist and fog and a slightly cooler morning for tomorrow morning's commute compared to the temperatures we have had the past few mornings, but the mist and fog will gradually clear. it will turn wetter in parts of northern england, north and west wales through the day. heaviest bursts of rain on the cumbrian fells and snowdonia but for scotland and northern ireland, early rain in the south and east but overall, a much brighter day tomorrow with plenty of sunshine.

hello, this is bbc news. the headlines: the queen misses the remembrance day service in central london after spraining her back. buckingham palace said she was disappointed not to attend.

other members of the royal family join the nation in falling silent at the cenotaph and around the country to remember those who have died in past conflicts. a new global climate deal is struck in glasgow but pledges still aren't enough to limit warming to 1.5 degrees. a previous commitment to phase out coal is watered down at the last minute by india and china. and the netherlands becomes the first country in western europe to re—enter a partial coronavirus lockdown this autumn. now on bbc news, it's time for click. this week, more on the war against climate change. we've got buildings that love the sun. a sub that loves the waves. and robots that love rubbish.

the world's population continuing to rise and across the globe, more housing is needed. but these buildings themselves come with their own environmental cost. of course, building and running offices and homes contributes massively to our carbon footprint — more than 13 billion tons of c02 a year. that's nearly a0% of the world's total carbon emissions. so how about making buildings that are part of the solution, not the problem? maybe it's time to rethink renewable energy, the construction materials that we use, and what happens to them at the end of their life.
