welcome to bbc news, i'm david eades. our top stories: the glasgow climate deal is the death knell for coal power says borisjohnson — but others express anger that it allows india and china to sidestep talk of phasing out the fossil fuel. a lockdown for people not vaccinated against covid—19 comes in to force in austria as the country battles a record surge in cases. anti—terror police arrest three men after an explosion outside a hospital in liverpool leaves one person dead and another injured. the women's tennis association piles pressure on china over claims player peng shuai was sexually assaulted by a former top political leader.

british prime minister boris johnson has described a global accord to speed up action against climate change as "truly historic" and "the beginning of the end for coal power". but his remarks come after the president of the cop26 climate conference, alok sharma, said 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. let's take a quick look at what's agreed. the deal 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. among other things, the deal also pledges more money for poorer countries to help them adapt. our science editor, david shukman, reports. 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 not allowing coal to be phased out, only to be "phased down". the pressure really showed at one point. and the final wording on coal has left disappointment. but this evening in downing street, mr sharma admitted how the deal was very nearly lost. for months, people have been asking me, some of you good

people have been asking me, "do you feel the weight "of the world on your shoulders?" and i can tell you, there was one really tense hour where i did feel the weight of the world on my shoulders. and so many people have done so much over two years. the uk team, internationally. and, yeah, this deal was absolutely in jeopardy. his efforts at the conference were praised by opposition parties. but they also warned there's a long way to go in. we have made some progress and we have to acknowledge that. but we also have to acknowledge that we failed in getting that target of 1.5, and we must keep that pressure on because it would be catastrophic for areas of the world and for our planet. so we've got more to do. so what happens now? well, 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. and 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. so 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 degree celsius since pre—industrial times. and the hope is that 1.5 will be the limit of the rise. but we're heading for at least 1.8, and that's only if every promise is kept. more realistically, we are 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. first as the presidency but for all the countries. and it's on us to make sure that 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 past 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

transition that all countries need to make. we need to look at why that language was so weak. who is getting away with murder. india is being blamed for weakening the text but several days before that closing plenary, india proposed a much stronger version of that text that called for all fossil fuels to be phased down, not just call. 0n fuels to be phased down, not just call. on an equitable basis. —— coal. it means that wealthy, industrialised countries have to do the most the fastest and that is a redline for many of the wealthy countries and particular the united states and that is the key reason that the text isn't as strong as it needs to be. that is a really interesting point because a lot of people will understand that and agree with it but at the same time there is a very long process going on here and that simply wasn't the point at which these negotiations were, india knew that as well as any other country. that as well as any other country-— that as well as any other count . �* ., ., �*, country. but look at what's happening _ country. but look at what's happening - _ country. but look at what's happening - the _ country. but look at what's happening - the united - country. but look at what's . happening - the united states happening — the united states

is being painted as a hero for getting this language around a phased down of abated coal and that leaves massive loopholes for oil and gas industries and for oil and gas industries and for carbon capture and storage technologies for coal. which doesn't work but is extremely expensive so really only accessible with an option for rich countries so this would have disproportionate impacts on countries like india and china, leaving the united states with massive loopholes it can exploit and which it is exploding by the way. the biden administration is famously not shutting down new fossil fuel infrastructure and just this week is going to open potentially the largest resell for offshore oil and gas drilling in the united states history. drilling in the united states histo . ~ ., drilling in the united states histo .~ ., drilling in the united states histo , ., history. would you accept that as at history. would you accept that gas at least — history. would you accept that gas at least is, _ history. would you accept that gas at least is, it _ history. would you accept that gas at least is, it is _ history. would you accept that gas at least is, it is often - gas at least is, it is often referred to as a transition fuel, that it will hope to get us to where it needs to be. i don't think so. the science is very clear. again, we have to

not yet protected. unvaccinated austrians were already barred from visiting restaurants, hairdressers and cinemas, but they're now told to stay home except for work and food shopping. it'll be policed using spot checks with hefty fines for those caught breaking the rules. austria has one of the lowest vaccination rates in western europe — around 64% of the population is fully vaccinated, which leaves 2 million people yet to get two doses. and the country has one of the highest infection rates in europe — more than 800 cases per 100,000 people. the icus are starting to fill up. it's already projected that within two weeks we will have reached the limit, and we know that the cases we see now will be those that fill up the icus in two weeks, so there's need for some measure right now. but not everyone agrees. crowds gathered over the weekend in salzburg and vienna to make the opposition clear. translation: i'm here today because i want to fight -

for my right. these measures are absolutely discriminatory. my body, our bodies, we have a right to decide about them. a fourth wave of infections is gripping much of europe and the continent is once again the epicentre of the virus. eastern european nations with lower vaccination rates like latvia and russia were among the first to bring back restrictions, but even the netherlands with a vaccination rate above 80% has reintroduced a partial lockdown for at least three weeks. and germany is also weighing up a new restrictions. courtney bembridge, bbc news. let's come back to the uk for a moment. police have arrested three men under the terrorism act after a taxi exploded outside a hospital in the city of liverpool in north—western england. the passenger of the vehicle was killed and the driver was wounded. a note of caution — fiona trott�*s report contains flashing images.

just seconds before 11am, the car explosion which killed a man inside. terrifying for onlookers and so dangerously close to the hospital itself. a police cordon was immediately set up. local roads were also closed. then, confirmation that a counter—terrorism investigation had been launched. unfortunately, i can confirm that one person has died and another has been taken to hospital, where he is being treated for his injuries — which, thankfully, are not life—threatening. so far, we understand that the car involved was a taxi, which pulled up at the hospital shortly before the explosion occurred. and while the cordon remains in place, patients have been told to stay away. we're reviewing our patient activity for the next 24—48 hours and patients should wait to be contacted for updates about any planned appointments. this has been a fast—moving investigation. just hours after the news

conference, it emerged that police were at this residential street in the kensington area, and also here, just one mile from the liverpool women's hospital. counter—terrorism detectives say they're keeping an open mind about the cause of the explosion. tonight, people are being told to remain calm but vigilant. fiona trott, bbc news, liverpool. stay with us on bbc news, still to come: more pressure on china over sexual assault allegations made of a former top political leader by tennis player peng shuai. benazir bhutto has claimed victory in pakistan's general election, and she's asked pakistan's president to name her as prime minister. jackson's been released on bail of $3 million after turning himself in to police in santa barbara.

it was the biggest i demonstration so far of the fast—growing european anti—nuclear movement. - the south african government has announced that its opening the country's remaining whites—only beaches to people of all races. this will lead to a black majority government in this country and the destruction of the white civilisation. part of the centuries—old windsor castle, one - of the queen's residences, has been consumed by firej for much of the day. 150 firemen have been battling the blaze, which has caused i millions of pounds worth of damage. | this is bbc news. the latest headlines: borisjohnson says the glasgow climate deal sounds the death knell for coal power but admits there's a lot more work to do.

in austria, a lockdown comes into effect for people who aren't fully vaccinated against covid—19. the women's tennis association has labelled events in china concerning player peng shuai "of deep concern" after she publicly accused the country's former vice premier of sexual assault. in a post on chinese social media site weibo, the former world number one doubles player said she was "forced" into a sexual relationship with zhang gaoli. the post was soon deleted. peng acknowledged she would not be able to provide proof, while zhang has not responded to her claims. in a statement on sunday, wta chairman and ceo steve simon said:

tennis icon billiejean king retweeted the statement, saying: ben rothenberg is a tennis journalist and host of the no challenges remaining podcast. he's been following the story. no, some other reports earlier had suggested that she was missing or that she had disappeared. an interview that the new york times did earlier today with the ceo of the wta, steve simon, he indicated that they believe she is safe, they do not believe she is in any physical danger, and that they have spoken to people who are aware of her whereabouts — even though they have not been able to establish direct contact with peng shuai as of yet. yeah... they're not too worried about her state. right, well, that's a good start. i mean, it's interesting, listening to his comments in terms of what to make — this is steve simon — what to make of this, because they are pretty hard—hitting. 0h, absolutely.

no, i think they really had to make a choice here, the wta, whether it was going to sort of step back in lieu of its enormous business investments into china — unintelligible of the tour into china and the chinese market after the success of li na, who won the french open in 2011, it was really seen as being a windfall for women's tennis and they could open this new chinese market and tap into it and they put many of their biggest tournaments there. but the tour today, and steve simon, made pretty clear they are standing behind their player and wanting to stand up to the chinese government and the sort of censorship and things like that that are attached to it. i think he went as far with the new york times as to say that if there is not an investigation, "we'll have to make some decisions and we are prepared to do so". as you point out, this is a huge financial risk, in a sense, isn't it? absolutely. no, the wta does rely on china for a lot of its funding and these have been very lucrative events for the tour

and tapping into this new market, and a lot of advertisers and investors who are there, wanting to bring tournaments to various chinese cities. there were 11 tournaments in china before the pandemic and obviously, the pandemic has really scrambled the calendar in china — no events have been held there since the pandemic began — and so maybe that's a bit of a chance for a reset there but really, the tour had relied heavily on china and asia to the point where some had nicknamed the wta �*wt asia' for its heavy investment in the continent. yeah, and certainly we have seen before, china can respond very quickly — and acerbically, actually — with other sports if there are things they do not like the sound of. ijust wonder how much this is a tennis issue, in a way, ben. if we look at other areas around and about tennis, we have had allegations made on the men's tour, for example, of some bullying, and how far of the authorities —— are the authorities prepared to get involved in these sorts of issues?

yeah, i think you're alluding to some of the domestic assault allegations against some of the top atp players, and the atp really has been much slower to react i think, than the wta, on the women's side has. and the wta really made it a very clear, firm stand here — not immediately after peng shuai's allegations, which were first made earlier this month, but once they finally did speak out, they really took a very, very firm stand and i think carved out some really strong ground for themselves in terms of what they were willing to do for stand up for principles overjust the money on the table. thousands of people are to makeshift clamp at the ballot — are to makeshift clamp at the ballot border— are to makeshift clamp at the ballot border with— are to makeshift clamp at the ballot border with poland - are to makeshift clamp at the ballot border with poland andj ballot border with poland and dealing — ballot border with poland and dealing with _ ballot border with poland and dealing with freezing - dealing with freezing conditions. - dealing with freezing conditions. jenny- dealing with freezingj conditions. jenny hill dealing with freezing - conditions. jenny hill has been to the — conditions. jenny hill has been to the polish _ conditions. jenny hill has been to the polish side _ conditions. jenny hill has been to the polish side of— conditions. jenny hill has been to the polish side of the - to the polish side of the harden _ to the polish side of the border. the _ to the polish side of the border. the advised - to the polish side of the border. the advised herj to the polish side of the - border. the advised her report may— border. the advised her report may find — border. the advised her report may find -- _ border. the advised her report may find —— contain— border. the advised her report may find —— contain some - border. the advised her report i may find —— contain some images you may— may find —— contain some images you may find _ may find —— contain some images you may find distressing. -

in the middle. jenny hill, bbc news, poland. buckingham palace says queen elizabeth was disappointed that she wasn't able to attend the annual remembrance day service in london after spraining her back. 0ur royal correspondent nicholas witchell reports. band plays. it was the customary cenotaph commemoration after the limitations last year caused by the pandemic. band continues. 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. gunshot. chiming continues. silence. buglers play 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.

i should say there is more detail on the day's events there on the website. please take a look. thank you for watching bbc news. hello. we've had some patchy light rain and drizzle across parts across parts of east anglia and south—east england this afternoon, but the main rain band is pushing in to the north and west of scotland. we can see it here on the earlier satellite picture, this bank of cloud, and it will continue on its journey south and eastward through this evening and overnight. some heavy and persistent rain also pushing into parts of northern ireland. it will be weakening as it moves its way south and east but we could see some patchy rain into the far north of england by dawn. further south, there will be some drizzle, particularly for western and eastern coasts and also over hills. there could be a few clearer slots across southern england, allowing temperatures to drop to 5 or 6 degrees. for most, it is a mild night, the lows between 7 and 10 degrees. that is the theme, really, for the week ahead, staying mild both by day and by night and most of the rain will be in the north and west

of scotland. so into monday, we still have this front lingering, but it is running into high pressure, so it is weakening all the while. still a lot of cloud on it, still some patchy rain through monday morning across parts of southern scotland, initially, into northern england, maybe parts of wales and the far south—west of england. behind it, something much brighter with some sunshine across a large swathe of scotland and northern ireland, but ahead of it is still a lot of cloud for much of england and wales, with highs of 11—13. through monday evening and overnight the cloud base likely to lower across much of england and wales, bringing some patchy drizzle, but more persistent rain will be starting to approach the north and west of scotland and the winds will be strengthening as well, you can see the isobars much closer together here, so some wetter and windier weather through tuesday across northern ireland and northern and western scotland. that will tend to weaken as the day wears on, but some of that rain heavy and persistent. across england and wales, it should be mainly a dry day. maybe a few bright or sunny spells, but certainly a lot of cloud. highs again on tuesday typically 10—13. as we look a little bit further ahead, it looks like that

frontal system we see on tuesday will be sliding its way across the uk, but once again running into high pressure, so most of the rain will tend to fizzle out and behind it what we start to see is some slightly cooler air digging in, so the chance of some showers across northern and western scotland on wednesday and they could well be wintry over the highest ground, but essentially for much of the week ahead it's looking mostly dry, if cloudy, mild by day and night, and much of the rain across the north and west of scotland.

this is bbc news, the headlines: borisjohnson's described a global agreement on climate change as �*the beginning of the end for coal power�*. but the prime minister added the cop26 deal was �*tinged with disappointment�* after china and india weakened a pledge to phase out its use. a lockdown for people not vaccinated against covid—19 has come into force in austria amid a record surge in cases. it�*s the first measure of its kind in western europe. it�*ll be enforced with regular spot checks before a review in ten days. three men in their 20s have been arrested on suspicion of terrorism offences after a car exploded outside a maternity hospital in liverpool. one person died and another was injured. it happened at the same time the nation fell silent to mark remembrance sunday.
