impacts of climate change will be felt. the main findings in the un climate report include: all routes to curbing warming require deep, rapid and, in most cases, immediate emissions reductions in all sectors, with emissions peaking before 2025 at the latest. the report says to keep to 1.5 degrees — coal must decline by 95% by 2050 compared to 2019, while oil must be reduced by 60% and gas by 45% by then. almost all electricity needs to be supplied from clean sources such as renewables or fossil fuels fitted with carbon capture and storage. protecting and managing forests and other natural landscapes provide the biggest opportunity of cutting emissions from land,

while shifting to healthier, more plant—based diets, reducing food waste, and more sustainable farming can also deliver un secretary—general antonio guterres has described the ipcc report as a �*file of shame'. thejury the jury has reached a verdict and it is damning. the panel on climate change is a litany of broken climate promises. it is a file of shame. cataloguing the putting is firmly on track to an unlivable world. we are in the fast track to climate disaster. emergency underwater and heat waves and category five storms, water shortages and extinction of a million species of plants and

animals and this is not conviction or exaggerations. this is what science tells us will resolve from our current energy policies. we are in a pathway to global warming of more than 11.5 the limit. some governments are saying one thing but doing another. simply put, they are lying. and the results be catastrophic. this is a climate emergency and climate scientists warned that we are already perilously close to tipping points that could lead to cascading and irreversible climate impacts. put claimants and corporations are not just turning a blind eye, they are heading full to the flame, choking our planet based on the vested interests in historic investments in fossil fuels and cheaper renewable solutions provide clean jobs, fossil fuels and cheaper renewable solutions provide cleanjobs, energy security and greater stability. we left with an naive optimism based on

promises and commitments. but the main problem, the enormous growing emissions gap was all but ignored. in the science is clear. to keep the limit within reach, you have to plug global emissions by 45% this decade. let's speak to our science correspondent, victoria gill. what does he mean that emissions of the peak before 2025 if there's to be a liveable future on earth? that comes down _ be a liveable future on earth? that comes down to _ be a liveable future on earth? that comes down to how— be a liveable future on earth? twat comes down to how much greenhouse gases we are still admitting that is still going up. and the main headline from this report and they have increased and continue to increase globally over the next decade. and in quantifiable perspectives for me is just the amount of greenhouse gases that

carbon dioxide emissions specifically, that's the biggest source in terms of volume of these plenty of heating gases, and we have released globally, what we eat, grow, produce. that will be cuter homes the way we travel. that equates to the amount we have left if you're going to reduce them to this key target of 1.5 degrees. and that is the amount that a lot of climate scientists are talking about when they talk about reducing or limiting global warming. we are living in a global warming planet and it is happening. when it comes to reducing the biggest and most interest impacts that the secretary—general of the un listed and that pretty damning analysis just then, it is that 1.5 target that we are talking about to limit the very worst and most impacts and the very worst and most impacts and the lives and species that will be

lost to the climate change but we have heard reports like this before. is the grasping the emergency of it? the policies that been plan to play, the short answer is no. the policies that were all set out in 2020 ahead of 2026 62 puts on a path towards a 3.2 degrees temperature rise by the end of the century. so, we are not acting quickly enough and i think the science of showing us that the world is warming faster than we are changing our ways and keeping up. there's been huge progress in the political progress is slow because of all the investment policy changes have been put in place to support renewables and the cost of renewable energy like wind and solar as produced by more than 80% over the last decade. in terms of the transition, it isjust last decade. in terms of the transition, it is just not moving fast enough. we had a report last

week in 2021 was a renewables account for of energy production and thatis account for of energy production and that is huge among globally, but we're talking about the drastic cuts. more than a 30% cut by 2030. thank you very much. tessa khan is a climate lawyer and expert on uk oil and gas policy. thank you for talking to us and what is your reaction to this report? i mean, it is hard to put it any better than the un secretary in terms of the way it litters out that we are in the fast track to disaster and that really drastic action has to be taken in the short term if you're going to stay within inhabitable climate limits but i think what we should welcome in that report is how clearly and lays out with the solutions are and at this point, it's really about shifting

away from fossil fuels, namely oil gas and coal which are responsible for the vast majority of emissions and climate change in those technologies are at least cost competitive with the old dirty polluting fuels in the uk and onshore wind energy is four times cheaper than gas powered electricity and we have an opportunity to not only address the climate crisis, which is huge, clearly but also in countries like the uk and across europe, we can do this with a major crisis which is energy affordability. these are cheaper, cleaner fuels and government should be doing everything in their power to away from fossil fuels and take advantage of the cleaner resources we have in abundance in countries like the uk. it we have in abundance in countries like the uk-_ like the uk. it sounds like a no-brainer, _ like the uk. it sounds like a no-brainer, doesn't - like the uk. it sounds like a no-brainer, doesn't it? - like the uk. it sounds like a no-brainer, doesn't it? the j like the uk. it sounds like a - no-brainer, doesn't it? the business no—brainer, doesn't it? the business secretary saying that we're going to

have seven nuclear power plants, do accept the need for nuclear power in the meantime are not?— the meantime are not? these technologies, _ the meantime are not? these technologies, the _ the meantime are not? these technologies, the small - the meantime are not? these - technologies, the small reactors, we have not seen them before. we know nuclear power plants in the past have taken many years, decades to build and they are incredibly expensive and we have energy affordability crisis in this country. and ask yourself by the government is in prioritising and will find out this week whether or not they are prioritising those incredibly abundant and cheap renewable resources that we already have at our disposal that we can bring on line in the space of the year if we expedite planning approvals. so, think the focus is to be on the sources above and beyond anything else. irate be on the sources above and beyond anything else-— anything else. we are still searching _ anything else. we are still searching for _ anything else. we are still searching for oil _ anything else. we are still searching for oil in - anything else. we are still searching for oil in the - anything else. we are still. searching for oil in the north anything else. we are still- searching for oil in the north sea, aren't we in the meantime as well?

and that is alarming for so many reasons because eight, as we have been hearing clearly from antonio, we have to move away from fossil fuels at pace and the amount of fossil fuel infrastructure that we are already planning in the progress that we are already building will take us beyond that 1.5 degrees limit and so, there's no need for new projects as a set, they also don't help us with is really pressing problem that people across the country are facing, which is the affordability of their energy. as the government acknowledges, would do anything for peoples energy bills. and it is a waste of time, it is a waste of money and it is a waste of energy and the government has to prioritise those cheaper, cleaner sources that we have in abundance. cleaner sources that we have in abundance-— cleaner sources that we have in abundance. ., ~ , ., , . ., abundance. thank you very much for talkin: to abundance. thank you very much for talking to us- _ president biden has called

going after new industries filling putin possibles were chest and having a clear timetable to eliminate our imports of russian oil, gas and coal. we also need even more weapons of the type ukrainians are asking for. the uk is supplying more, including anti—tank weapons, javelin missiles and anti—aircraft systems. and lastly, we hosted a conference with her allies to secure more. the fact is that being tough is the only approach that will work. putin has escalated this war and this approach is vital to ensuring he loses in ukraine and that we see a full withdrawal of russian troops in ukraine had the strength and at the table. there will be no talk of removing sanctions while his troops are in ukraine and the threat of russian aggression looms over

europe. we need to see putin withdraw his troops, we need to see ukraine's full and territorial integrity restored. we need to see russia's ability for further aggression stopped, we need a plan to rebuild ukraine and we need justice done at the international criminal court. we salute your bravery and the bravery of ukrainian people. we are determined to help in whatever way we can. we will back you unwaveringly your negotiations and together, we will not rest until putin fails and ukraine prevails. i like to invite you to make a few comments. it like to invite you to make a few comments-— comments. it is always a great leasure comments. it is always a great pleasure to — comments. it is always a great pleasure to have _ comments. it is always a great pleasure to have meaningful . pleasure to have meaningful conversations. every not seen each other— conversations. every not seen each other in_ conversations. every not seen each other in kyiv— conversations. every not seen each other in kyiv but i hope i will be able _

director of communications in the particular move led to a lot of anger than the conservative party and i was going for the prime minister to go and we have seen is those who attended the event getting fined and the prime minister will also find out if she does or doesn't get one, they said that if they haven't had the fine, reassured that no covid—19 rules were broken. the metropolitan police have gone the other way and said rules were broken inside downing street and we've also heard from the brexit opportunities mr defending the prime minister and insisting that he is given the wrong information and that he made no deliberate effort to mislead anybody. that is quite key because if you misled the house, that could've led to a lot of trouble. thank you very much. thank you. a

pandemic caused a long waiting list for nhs treatment. but one speciality has seen the sharpest increases — gynaecology. there are now 60% more women waiting in england than before the pandemic. across the uk, more than half a million women are waiting for help. the royal college of obstetricians and gynaecologists says gender bias is to blame ? and that women s health is consistently deprioritised and overlooked . this report from our health correspondent catherine burns. in pain, their lives on hold, more than half a million women across the uk are on waiting lists for gynaecology treatment. the bleeding over time, over that year, got heavier and heavier and the pain got worse and worse. i'm pretty much housebound now, erm, due to the pain. i have another year—and—a—half to go before i can have my hysterectomy. i the biggest impact for me so far has been on my mental health. it's just...

it's just got worse. i'm sick of feeling, at 44, like i'm 94. like so many other women, pain is a constant companion for lucy reddin. she has endometriosis, which means tissue — like the lining of the womb — grows in places it shouldn't, including the ovaries. i'll be honest, i've felt suicidal at times with this condition. the level of pain, you just, just want it to stop. you just want it to go away. for lucy, endometriosis means she's not been able to have children. now, she needs a hysterectomy. she was referred for help in march last year, but is worried she's still got a long wait ahead of her. i can't even put it into words because my life is not my life as it is at the moment. it's cruel. it's cruel to leave somebody waiting there for that long. you wouldn't do that to a dog. there were problems with gynaecology waiting lists before covid. in february 2020, almost 290,000 women in england were on a waiting list.

the latest figures bring it closer to 460,000 — an increase of 60%. before the pandemic, 66 women were on the list for more than a year. now, there are almost 25,000. the nhs is dealing with a record backlog of people waiting for care and the priority is often on patients with conditions that could kill them. the women on these gynaecology waiting lists aren't dying, but their doctors say many of them are barely living. hundreds of thousands of women, young and old, often with conditions that can be extremely painful, impact their fertility and damage their mental health. i believe that women's health and gynaecology has been significantly affected by this because there is an element of gender bias in the system at the moment. the priority that they urgently need is not being given to them. the government is publishing a women's health strategy later this year and ministers accept that health services must listen to women's voices.

nhs england says waiting times across the system are more than six weeks down on their peak in the pandemic. the impact of this - condition is devastating, almost soul—destroying. i can't enjoy my life properly and i want it back. i just continue to just... barely exist. catherine burns, bbc news. we are going to talk now to napoli mitchell who has been living with endometriosis for 29 years. how is that possible?— that possible? while, firstly, i was oriainall , that possible? while, firstly, i was originally. i _ that possible? while, firstly, i was originally, i became _ that possible? while, firstly, i was originally, i became symptomatic. that possible? while, firstly, i was i originally, i became symptomatic the minute i hit puberty, the age of ten, giving away my age, and as most

women with endometriosis will explain, i was desolate and ignored in terms of my symptoms. i was dismissed, told that i probably have irritable bowel syndrome, then we were told it was all in my head. it was psychological. the only reason i managed to get a diagnosis within two years, which is actually incredibly rare, the average time it takes to get an endometriosis diagnosis is eight years. it's because i had the most extraordinary gp who just continually referred me back for specialist supports every time i was dismissed by the paediatrics or gynaecology. so i

they finally scanned me, found that my ovary was completely covered in endometrium as time assists, that's related to endometriosis, but because of my age, they actually didn't want to put it on my medical record that i had endometriosis. it was really weird. for years, on my medical records it said endometriosis? . ., , endometriosis? . even though they knew it was — endometriosis? . even though they knew it was a _ endometriosis? . even though they knew it was a confirmed _ endometriosis? . even though they| knew it was a confirmed diagnosis? yes. . , knew it was a confirmed diagnosis? yes. ., , , ., knew it was a confirmed diagnosis? yes. ., ., |t knew it was a confirmed diagnosis? yes— it was - yes. that is so bizarre. it was because of— yes. that is so bizarre. it was because of my _ yes. that is so bizarre. it was because of my age. _ yes. that is so bizarre. it was because of my age. so - yes. that is so bizarre. it was because of my age. so what? j yes. that is so bizarre. it was - because of my age. so what? you still need pain _ because of my age. so what? you still need pain management, - because of my age. so what? you still need pain management, you| still need pain management, you still need pain management, you still need pain management, you still need help.— still need pain management, you still need help. yes. so what they did was put _ still need help. yes. so what they did was put me — still need help. yes. so what they did was put me straight _ still need help. yes. so what they did was put me straight on - still need help. yes. so what they did was put me straight on to - still need help. yes. so what they did was put me straight on to the| did was put me straight on to the contraceptive pill, so that was from the age of 12. then just kind of left me to it, so i spend my whole teenage years and early 20s kind of not really understanding the condition, not really understanding the pain that i was in, then i finally went back to see another

gynaecologist when i was about 22 at this stage, and they operated again and found that i had what is known as stage for deep infiltrated endometriosis, so it had gotten into my bowels, my rector, my bladder. really very deep into my pelvis. it permeated everywhere. they excised the tissue at that point, but again, actually, for me and for most women with endometriosis, what happens is that disease, the tissue just keeps on growing. flan that disease, the tissue 'ust keeps on growing.— that disease, the tissue 'ust keeps on growing. can you explain to our audience, those _ on growing. can you explain to our audience, those who _ on growing. can you explain to our audience, those who perhaps - on growing. can you explain to our| audience, those who perhaps don't understand the condition, how painful is it to live with that? well, i take prescription opiates every single day. i've had days,

particularly when i was younger, i wasn't as adept at managing my pain. there were occasions where my parents had to refer me because painkillers wouldn't touch it. i'd have to wake up in the middle of the night with the pain and it is there, it's constant. 0n night with the pain and it is there, it's constant. on a good day, i rate my pain on a ten, i would say on a good day, a hover around a five then it's kind of like white noise, so i can do things, i can go about my day, but it'sjust can do things, i can go about my day, but it's just always there. that's probably about 50% of the time, and then the rest of the time i'm anywhere between 87 and at nine, and that those are days where i can't really leave the house or if i do need to leave the house, i will take much stronger painkillers. i see a physiotherapist who has really

helped. that is something that not all women with endometriosis are offered on the nhs. i'm also under the kjaer of the pain management team, so most of my problems revolve around my hips and my si joint. so i've got problems with my movement. the pain management team gave me steroid injections in my si joint, and i should be having those yearly to him about my last one was in 2019. i to him about my last one was in 2019. ., ,,., ., ., 2019. i am sarri to hear that, naoli. 2019. i am sarri to hear that, napoli. hopefully _ 2019. i am sarri to hear that, napoli. hopefully at - 2019. i am sarri to hear that, napoli. hopefully at some i 2019. i am sarri to hear that, - napoli. hopefully at some point, you will start getting those injections again, but with this waiting list, that will obviously be a challenge. i am wishing you all the best and thank you so much for talking to our audience this evening. thank you very much. napoli mitchell has been living with endometriosis for 29 years. some babies are not

able to recognise facial expressions and toddlers are struggling to socialise. and toddlers are struggling to socialise as a result of the pandemic, according to a new report by 0fsted. 0fsted inspectors visited 70 early years providers in january and february, including pre—schools, nurseries and child—minders. the chief inspector, amanda spielman, says it is clear the lockdowns have left "lingering challenges" for the youngest children. anita speaks —— let's speak now to anita anderson who is childcare director at happy kidz nursery in hull. what kinds of things have you noticed about tableaux and babies coming back to after the pandemic? we have found that the babies who have been born during lockdown much harder to settle them and get them used different adults, all the noises, and everything involved in a nursery. i think most of this is because the families have just been in a small circle. it's been predominantly mum, dad, siblings, possibly grandparents, but because of that fear of passing virus onto

the vulnerable, they haven't really had much contact with grandparents. so it's a lot harder to settle these babies. they are not used two other adults and human interaction. what adults and human interaction. what about, do some _ adults and human interaction. what about, do some of them _ adults and human interaction. what about, do some of them display, i don't know what you call it, is it anxiety attachments? they spend so much time with their mum and dads. it's that under the surface, they are not seeing other adults or other adults faces that do find it difficult. it is to take on average six weeks to settle a baby. it's taken us a good three months plus to settle them. bud taken us a good three months plus to settle them-— settle them. and what else, what other kind of _ settle them. and what else, what other kind of techniques - settle them. and what else, what other kind of techniques to - settle them. and what else, what other kind of techniques to you i settle them. and what else, what i other kind of techniques to you and your staff use to try and settle the children now? irate your staff use to try and settle the children now?— your staff use to try and settle the children now? we are doing lots of extra cuddles, _ children now? we are doing lots of extra cuddles, lots _ children now? we are doing lots of extra cuddles, lots of _ children now? we are doing lots of| extra cuddles, lots of reassurances, lots of one—on—one work, more stories, just lots of cuddles and

lots of extra one—to—one attention. what are they like when their mums and dads collect them now? timer;r what are they like when their mums and dads collect them now? they are and dads collect them now? they are a lot more clinging _ and dads collect them now? they are a lot more clinging to _ and dads collect them now? they are a lot more clinging to the _ and dads collect them now? they are a lot more clinging to the parents, i a lot more clinging to the parents, a lot more clinging to the parents, a lot more pleased to see that parents, the reassurance that the parents, the reassurance that the parents have come back. they are just a lot more settled. d0 parents have come back. they are just a lot more settled.— just a lot more settled. do you think that _ just a lot more settled. do you think that something _ just a lot more settled. do you think that something they - just a lot more settled. do you think that something they will| just a lot more settled. do you - think that something they will grow out of? will that stay with them through childhood, do you think? i think it is something they will grow out of because they are so young. they are getting these findings and extra kjaer work, now that we are coming out of the pandemic, seeing more and more people, they can go to parks, they can mix a little bit more, so hopefully it's going to be shorter than the younger ones, perhaps in our older ones, it is a little bit more difficult to see more things, less interaction with teachers, less interaction with play

workers and things like that. so it may be harder for them to start to put those strategies in place. hopefully we will be able to turn it around fairly quickly within the next year or so. bill around fairly quickly within the next year or so.— around fairly quickly within the next year or so. all right, thank ou ve next year or so. all right, thank you very much _ next year or so. all right, thank you very much for _ next year or so. all right, thank you very much for talking - next year or so. all right, thank you very much for talking to - next year or so. all right, thank you very much for talking to us. you. take kjaer. june brown, who played that cat for over 30 years in e standards has died at the age of 95. she became synonymous at the chain—smoking mum of bad boy nasty nick cotton, although she had lots of other roles on stage and screen. she once said the only thing she actually had in common with her character was her christianity. 0ur arts correspondent looks back at her career. �* ., ., arts correspondent looks back at her career. ., ., career. i've got to face facts, with my nerves. i've — career. i've got to face facts, with my nerves, i've got _ career. i've got to face facts, with my nerves, i've got to _ career. i've got to face facts, with my nerves, i've got to smoke. - my nerves, i've got to smoke. god—fearing, chain—smoking, hypo contract, doctor patton. it was for june brown the role of a lifetime.

for northern england will soon clearly from northern ireland. most of the rain, though, is going to be across scotland. and as it moves further north into that colder air, we have got every chance of seeing some snow, particularly over the grampian and also in the highlands. with no continuing overnight and into wednesday in the northern highlands, there could be 15 cm of snow possibly here. it's a fine line, though, between the rain and snow, and for much of scotland it will be rain. mild and essential outcome a elsewhere across the uk and we should have some brighter skies across much of england and wales and perhaps a bit more sunshine than we had today. more weather fronts, sunshine than we had today. more weatherfronts, area sunshine than we had today. more weather fronts, area of sunshine than we had today. more weatherfronts, area of the sunshine than we had today. more weather fronts, area of the pressure on the scene as we head into wednesday. that weather front is pushing away those higher temperatures. that weather front around the low pressure is the thundery between that colder air thatis thundery between that colder air that is still in the far north of scotland, threatening somewhere sleet and snow and the somewhat to my other conditions further south. and for much of the uk, it's going to be a case of some sunshine but

some bands of showers which could be on the heavy side as well. some blustery winds around for many of us on wednesday, those temperatures not quite so high as well. we still have that colder air in the far north of scotland. and that colder air is going to move southwards as we head into thursday and into friday. colder air is sent to return and it will be a northerly breeze around as well in scotland, and that will bring some are wintry showers too. some sunshine as he had further south into northern ireland, northern england, a few showers there which could turn wintry as well, that ranges steering to the south of southern england where it should be largely dry and temperature scale of 11—12 degrees. we could have some weather systems threatening to bring something into more southern parts of england, and with that colder air digging down from the north, there is the possibility of some sleet and some snow and southern areas. most of the wintry showers will be much further north.
