this is bbc news. the headlines at six... despite concerns over the watered down commitments on phasing out fossil fuels like coal at the climate summit in glasgow — the prime minister says cop26 was a success. glasgow has sounded the deathknell for coal power. it is a fantastic achievement, and it isjust one of many to emerge from cop26. 90% of the world's economy is now following our lead here in the uk by committing to net zero. the queen misses the remembrance sunday service at the cenotaph because of a sprained back, but other members of the royal familyjoin the nation in falling silent to remember those who died in past conflicts.

one person has died and another is injured after a car explosion and fire outside liverpool women's hospital. police say counter—terrorism detectives are leading the investigation "out of caution". so far we understand that the car involved was a taxi which pulled up at the hospital shortly before the explosion occurred. work is still ongoing to establish what has happened. an estimated 2 million unvaccinated people in austria will go into lockdown from midnight tonight, as covid cases continue to rise in the country. and an emotional couple's choice dance in strictly as rose and giovanni pay tribute to the deaf community.

good evening and welcome to bbc news. the president of the cop26 climate conference, alok sharma, says india and china will have to justify themselves to the world's most vulnerable countries after the two nations demanded last—minute changes to the climate deal, softening commitments to reduce the use of coal. an agreement was finally reached last night. it says limiting average global temperatures to 1.5 celsius above pre—industrial levels by the year 2100 is still attainable. scientists have said that amount, by then, would avoid the worst impacts of climate change. but there's controversy over

the pledge about coal, which now says its use should be phased down, rather than phased out. the deal pledges more money for poorer countries to help them adapt. and nations will have to re—publish their climate plans next year to keep what's agreed on track. the conference also agreed to reductions in methane emissions and to curb deforestation across the planet. here's our science editor, david shukman. it was billed as a landmark moment in our relations with the planet but did the glasgow conference do anything to limit the rise in temperatures? the man at the centre of the talks, alok sharma, had to shuttle between delegations. china and india refusing to allow coal to be phased out. the pressure really showed at one point. the final wording about coal has left disappointment.

china and india will have to explain themselves to the most climate vulnerable countries in the world. this is a fragile win, because at the end of the day what we need is to ensure that all these commitments are delivered upon. so what happens now? by the end of next year, countries should update their climate pledges. a faster pace than before. and they are now expected to do this more often. by 2024, a package of long—term financial aid for the poorest nations should be agreed. then, by 2030, to avoid the worst of global warming, carbon emissions should be halved, but we're still a long way from achieving that. as things stand, the polar ice will melt faster than ever, raising sea levels and together with heavier rain, threatening millions of people with flooding. the implications of failing to act soon have never been clearer. we've already warmed by 1.1 celsius

since preindustrial times and the hope is that 1.5 will be the limit of the rise. but we are heading for at least 1.8 and that's only if every promise is kept. more realistically, we're on course for about 2.4, a really dangerous level. the difference between 1.5 and 2.4 is really survival of millions and millions of people and species in the planet. this is what is particularly true for the islands. but according to camilla born, a government adviser at the heart of the talks, the worst outcomes can be averted. we have kept 1.5 alive but on the basis of delivering on those commitments, and that will be our next task, for us as the presidency, but for all the countries and it's on us to make sure this is real in action. the key to that is what's happening far beyond the conference. the spectacular fall in the price of renewable forms of energy. they now make good business sense,

whatever gets agreed in talks about climate change. the arguments here over the last fortnight were about words on a page and in the end they may or may not prove important. what matters more is the signal sent by this gathering and others to come, to businesses, investors, banks, all of us. that with the right pace and scale of change, it should still be possible to get the world onto a safer course. david shukman, bbc news, glasgow. in the past hour, the prime minister and alok sharma have been speaking. let's hear what they said. this summit, cop26, was never going to be able to halt climate change. as you rightly said, we were never going to be able to stop it now in its tracks at glasgow. that was never on the cards. but what people

thought we could conceivably do was slow the rate of increase and equip ourselves with the tools to turn it around. and the reason i'm so optimistic is that i think for the first time, humanity is genuinely equipping ourselves with the equipment we need to halt anthropogenic climate change altogether. and so when you look at some of the things we are doing on coal, cars, cash and trees, you can see the individual commitments that we're making, i think alok will speak about coal, but it is an immense thing to get a commitment from 190 countries to phase down or phase out coal. i don't know whether the language phase down or phase—out, doesn't seem to me as a speaker of english to make that much difference. the direction of travel is pretty much the same, and that has never been said before. 0n trees, you saw this enormous

commitment to protect the forests of the world, to halt and reverse the loss of forests by 2030. and on cars, even on cars which was actually very difficult, we got a third of the world's car market from a standing start, because it had never been discussed before, to agree to go to electric vehicles by 2035. and every country made substantial commitment tos, substantial, granular commitments, to reduce carbon emissions. so, no, we haven't fixed it, but we have the tools, and the final thing that we, i think, got right at cop26 was an idea that everybody basically gravitated around and towards, and thatis gravitated around and towards, and that is using development aid, state money, our overseas budgets, multilateral development banks and investments, using that to trigger

private sector investment. and using that to drive the big decarbonisation programmes in the countries that find it hard. and that, i think, countries that find it hard. and that, ithink, was countries that find it hard. and that, i think, was the big intellectual breakthrough at this cop. that was the real change. at that press conference, the prime minister was again repeatedly asked about the sleaze story surrounding westminster in recent days and his refusal to apologise for mps' behaviour surrounding second jobs. for the first time, borisjohnson he should have acted differently. of course, you know, i think that things could certainly have been handled better, let me put it that way. by me. the queen has missed the annual remembrance day service at the cenotaph in london for the first time in 22 years after spraining her back. buckingham palace said she was disappointed not to be able to attend what would have been her first public engagement

for more than three weeks. the prince of wales laid a wreath on the queen's behalf at one of the many events around the uk to honour those fallen in conflict. our royal correspondent nicholas witchell reports. band plays. it was the customary cenotaph commemoration, after the limitations last year caused by the pandemic. there was, though, one notable absentee. the queen did not, as had been expected, take her place on a balcony overlooking the cenotaph. according to buckingham palace, she had sprained her back. she continues to rest at windsor. the prince of wales led other senior members of the royal family to their places at the cenotaph, in readiness for the two—minute silence observed in whitehall and at ceremonies around the country. big ben chimes the hour.

music: last post.

after the two—minute silence, and the sounding of the last post in whitehall by royal marine buglers, the prince of wales placed the queen's wreath of red poppies against the cenotaph�*s northern face, in tribute to those from britain and the commonwealth who lost their lives in the world wars and more recent conflicts. then, after the official wreath—laying, it was the return of the veterans�* march—past. the former servicemen and women, denied the chance to be at the cenotaph last year, paying their own tributes to former colleagues. the head of state had been absent — a matter of great regret, we are told, to her and to those who were on parade. nicholas witchell, bbc news.

one person has died and another has been injured after a car exploded outside liverpool women's hospital. it happened about 11 o'clock this morning although details have only recently emerged. our correspondent phil mccann has more. people in this part of liverpool heard a very loud bang, and that bang was a car exploding outside one of the main entrances to liverpool women's hospitaljust behind me, just around the corner out of our shot here. and dramatic pictures within the minutes afterwards appeared on social media, which showed a car, a private hire taxi, clearly well alight. it looked as though it had burst into flames. and within the last hour and a half, the police gave an update to the media. unfortunately i can confirm that one person _ unfortunately i can confirm that one person has — unfortunately i can confirm that one person has died and another has been taken _ person has died and another has been taken to— person has died and another has been taken to hospital where he is being treated _ taken to hospital where he is being treated for— taken to hospital where he is being treated for his injuries which thankfully are not life threatening. so far— thankfully are not life threatening. so far we — thankfully are not life threatening. so far we understand that the car involved — so far we understand that the car involved was a taxi which pulled up at the _ involved was a taxi which pulled up at the hospital shortly before the explosion occurred. work is still

service at the cenotaph, because of a sprained back, but other members of the royal familyjoin the nation in falling silent around the country to remember those who lost their lives in conflicts. also one person has died and another is injured after a car explosion and fire outside liverpool women's hospital. police say counter—terrorism detectives are leading the investigation "out of caution". let's go back to our top story, the climate change deal and india and china have faced heavy criticism after demanding last—minute changes on the issue of coal. india heavily relies on coal for its economic development. our south east asia correspondent rajini vaidyanathan reports on the challenges the country faces in tackling climate change. india's sacred river,

a symbol of purity. turned toxic. what looks like harmless bubbles is poisonous foam, much of it caused by industrial waste and sewage. this man is a fisherman who lives and works here. all the chemicals are thrown in the river. he tells me. it's disgusting but it's not a natural disaster but humans who have done this. what where seeing here in many ways represents india's overall challenges when it comes to climate change. one of the country's holiest rivers, now horribly polluted. the cause, waste from nearby factories that create jobs and help to drive economic growth. coal was centre stage at the cop summit, in a tussle over

economic and environmental needs. dirty but dependable, it powers this nation, providing some 70% of india's energy and millions ofjobs. which is why the country refused to agree to a deal to phase it out completely. prime minister narendra modi did make a bold pledge to hit net zero emissions by 2070 and asked for more help from western countries for renewable projects. the aim was to move quickly towards alternative sources like solar. and the government generating 50% of power that way by the next decade. this man has just returned from the cop summit and was advising india's government. coal is going to grow, but solar is going to grow faster. it is not that one technology will grow and the other will not. both will have to grow, to meet the energy demand for the fastest—growing economy. the average indian consumes far less power than the average brit or american. many here say they don't want to be told what to do by western nations

who have a long way to go before phasing out fossil fuels themselves. austria has ordered a lockdown for people who've not been vaccinated against covid — about two million people. the country is seeing the highest rate of daily infections since the pandemic began and has one of the lowest vaccination rates in western europe. bethany bell is in vienna. these are the biggest daily infection rates that austria has had since the pandemic began. the government has said it is very worried about the strain on hospitals, intensive care units are coming increasingly under pressure. so now it's really upped the pressure on the unvaccinated. the chancellorjust now said that it's clear that infection rates among the unvaccinated are much higher than among the vaccinated

and it should be said that this lockdown for the unvaccinated comes on what are already quite tough measures for people who haven't been vaccinated — already in austria you cannot go to a restaurant or to the cinema, you cannot have your hair cut if you cannot show a vaccination certificate or a certificate of recovery. now this new step means that people will be asked to stay at home except for certain essential reasons like going to work, going to buy food or going for exercise. lets just ta ke lets just take you through the government's latest coronavirus figures for the uk. they show there were 36,517 new infections recorded, in the latest 24—hour period, which means on average, there were 37,488 new cases reported per day in the last week. 63 deaths were recorded,

that's of people who died within 28 days of a positive test. on average in the past week, 156 related deaths were recorded every day. and 12.6 million people have received their boosterjab. we're going to stay with covid and the figures on what they all mean. i'm joined byjohn burn—murdoch from the financial times. what are the figures telling you? the situation in the uk at the moment i think is a complex one. it was only a few days ago that some people including myself that it looked like we perhaps were over the worst of things for this winter, but in the last few days we have seen numbers to cup again, and i think of anything that is a lesson that this thing very much isn't over until it is over. the perhaps slightly more optimistic note at the moment it at

the current uptick we have seen since children went back to school after half term looks like it may not be continuing for that much longer, and it does continue to be concentrated among young people at the moment, which means the people who are most vulnerable to getting severely ill are currently not seeing cases in high numbers. 50 seeing cases in high numbers. so just going back to the uptick that you said, does that directly correlate with the return to school? it is very difficult with this disease to point to a single factor being the driving force behind any trend, but given that we saw case numbers fall quite substantially when children were off school, and then the rise at the moment is concentrated among youngsters, it does suggest that that is at least playing a significant role in what we are seeing at the moment. 50 playing a significant role in what we are seeing at the moment. so how does this moment _ we are seeing at the moment. so how does this moment in _ we are seeing at the moment. so how does this moment in time _ we are seeing at the moment. so how does this moment in time compare i we are seeing at the moment. so how does this moment in time compare to | does this moment in time compare to this time last year? the does this moment in time compare to this time last year?— this time last year? the good news on that front _ this time last year? the good news on that front is _ this time last year? the good news on that front is that _ this time last year? the good news on that front is that when - this time last year? the good news on that front is that when we -

this time last year? the good news on that front is that when we move j on that front is that when we move away from cases to the more severe outcomes, things like the number of people in hospital, the number of people in hospital, the number of people unfortunately losing their lives, they are much, much lower than they were this time last year, and they are actually falling at the moment whereas at this time in 2020, they were rising. so deaths are currently at around 20% of what they were at the worst of things last winter, slightly falling. the numbers of people in hospital, around 25% of what they were, and again currently coming down. and around 25% of what they were, and again currently coming down. and is there any particular _ again currently coming down. and is there any particular statistic - again currently coming down. and is there any particular statistic which l there any particular statistic which you watch very closely and which does concern you? what should we be watching for? taste does concern you? what should we be watching for?— watching for? we should keep our e es on watching for? we should keep our eyes on everything _ watching for? we should keep our eyes on everything at _ watching for? we should keep our eyes on everything at the - watching for? we should keep our. eyes on everything at the moment. i think again, the key thing is that fellow severe outcomes they are not as bad as last year, so people don't be in any kind of panic mode. but if cases are going up, the severe outcomes could go up further down the line, so the key thing is always to keep the eye on the number of people in hospital because that is what we have been focusing on for

two years. we just need to make sure that the care that hospitals can give to covid patients and people ill with other diseases or injuries can be maintained. find ill with other diseases or in'uries can be maintained.�* ill with other diseases or in'uries can be maintained. and is there any articular can be maintained. and is there any particular region. — can be maintained. and is there any particular region, when _ can be maintained. and is there any particular region, when we - can be maintained. and is there any particular region, when we talk - particular region, when we talk about hospitalisations, is there any particular region which does show concerning numbers? i particular region which does show concerning numbers?— particular region which does show concerning numbers? i think at the moment the _ concerning numbers? i think at the moment the situation _ concerning numbers? i think at the moment the situation in _ concerning numbers? i think at the moment the situation in england . concerning numbers? i think at the l moment the situation in england and in the uk is relatively similar wherever you look. there are signs that some parts of london are seeing some of the steepest rises in cases at the moment, but hospitalisations, there is not a sign of anything critical happening anywhere at the moment. g ., ., ,, , ., critical happening anywhere at the moment. , ., . ~' , ., , moment. 0k, john, thank you very much indeed- _ the home secretary, priti patel, is to meet her french counterpart this week to try to increase pressure on france, to stop migrants crossing the channel in small boats. more than 1,000 people made the journey on thursday — a record numberfor a single day. our correspondent simon jones has more on what the home secretary is doing to tackle the crisis.

priti patel is going to tell the french interior minister that the issue of migrants crossing the channel is a shared problem that requires shared solutions. because on thursday we saw 1185 migrants cross the channel between france and arrive in the uk on 33 boats. the french authorities stopped just 99 people from making the crossing. so britain has been asking france what are you doing to try to stop migrants leaving the beaches of northern france in the first place. and i think priti patel wants to express some of her concerns to her french counterpart about how this issue would be dealt with. the prime minister, borisjohnson, got minister, boris johnson, got involved minister, borisjohnson, got involved on friday because he was saying to france, why are you not policing your beaches? and he was suggesting there was a reluctance on the part of the french authorities to take this issue seriously enough. the french authorities, though, hit back, we heard from the french interior ministry and they said they

are working day and night to try and stop people risking their lives making the crossing. pretty patel last met gerard dana in september, and i think it is fair to say that the meeting didn't go according to plan. britain had threatened to withhold some of the £54 million promised to france to increase patrols on beaches, to increase surveillance, and he was not happy about that at all, he accused britain of financial blackmail. crossings are set to continue, and lives will be lost. that was simon jones that was simonjones there. now, here is a question. did you watch strictly come dancing last night? if you did you may have witnessed something rather special from the show�*s first ever deaf contestant. rose ayling ellis, who's an actress on eastenders, and her partner giovanni pernice, performed an emotional dance dedicated to the deaf community. let's take a look at what happened.

# ijust want to be part of your symphony... silence. music resumes. well, i got goose bumps, i don't know about you. i spoke to harriet oppenheimer from the national hearing loss charity, rnid, a little earlier, and she told me how significant rose's performance was to the deaf community. it was an extraordinary moment, it's a visceral moment to switch between hearing and silence. and i think that is what everyone

felt who watched it. we have had a huge amount of interest from people, those who are deaf and in the hearing world, to what rose did last night. what have people been saying after viewing that piece last night? i think there are two things to be said. those in the deaf world, throughout rose being on strictly come dancing, they have talked about feeling seen and valued and included and what an amazing role model she is and rose is wonderful because she is an outstanding dancer and they feel she has demonstrated that deaf people can dance as well as anyone else with some reasonable adjustments. she said, didn't she, there's nothing wrong with being deaf, it is such a joy to be deaf? what she did last night was, it is that old adage, isn't it? you don't know until you walk in someone else's shoes and she certainly put us

all through that last night. that is absolutely right. i think that last night was actually, for the hearing world to get a glimpse of the world through the experience of someone who is deaf and what i personally felt, looking at it, was quite how beautiful and graceful the dance is in the kind of still calm moment of silence and to be able to see it through that as a hearing person i thought was incredibly moving and everybody at our charity feels, on behalf of everybody, how important it is that is accessible to us as hearing people to see what it is like, to see the world from a very different perspective. the most powerful message and i think the most impactful, like so many things, when it comes to inclusion, now it's time for a look at the weather with alina jenkins. hello. we have had some patchy light rain and drizzle across parts of

england and wales today, but the bulk of the rain is pushing it in northern and western scotland and northern ireland and will continue overnight. weakening a little of the night wears on. further south across england and wales, a lot of cloud, some drizzle, and a few breaks in the cloud and where we do see the brakes, we could see temperatures down to five or six celsius, where we keep the cloud, seven to 10 celsius the overnight low. still a weakening band of patchy rain tomorrow morning across southern scotland initially into parts of northern england, wales, may be the far south—west of england, that will weaken as the day goes on. sunshine for scotland and northern ireland, claudia further south with some mist and fog lingering through the morning. it is going to stay mild both by day and by night in the week ahead, in fact temperatures by friday could get up to 14 or 15 celsius. mainly dry for much of england and wales, most of the rain across the north and west of scotland.
