in the united states. the availability of the product in the us has been hit since the country's biggest manufacturer halted production in february following reports that several children who were given the food had suffered serious bacterial infections. a man in massachusetts has tested positive for monkey pox, making it the first confirmed case of the virus in the united states. the massachusetts health authority said the patient was an adult male who had recently travelled to canada, where there are reports of a dozen unconfirmed cases. in europe, spain and portugal have detected nearly 30 incidents of the virus, a few days after the british authorities found cases of the infection, most of them in london. australia has two days to decide what to do in the polls, in the elections to decide who

is going to be the next prime minister. climate change will be top of the agenda with the voters. let's bring our colleague in sydney. a glorious day? lots of people and you have been talking to them, taking photos and having family days out, it seems for many people it is climate change top of mind for them?— people it is climate change top of mind for them? absolutely i have to say _ of mind for them? absolutely i have to say the _ of mind for them? absolutely i have to say the weather - of mind for them? absolutely i have to say the weather has i have to say the weather has been beautiful all morning although in the early parts of the morning it was very windy and very cold, the sun has come outjust and very cold, the sun has come out just for you, and very cold, the sun has come outjust for you, victoria, glorious day out here in sydney. at the same time a lot of the people we have been talking to to have the photos taken against this gorgeous backdrop have been talking about how climate change anxiety is very real for them out here. surprisingly given that fact it is not become such a big discussion point in the political debate out here but

at the same time who can forget how much this country has seen for itself the effect of a warming planet, from the deadly bushfires to those devastating floods over the last couple of years. in discussion about the reduction of emissions has been a bit of a political toxic issue in some parts of the country as my colleague reports. australians have been through so much since the last federal election. one natural disaster after another, dozens of lives lost in fires and floods. climate scientists warn australia will see much more of this unless the country plays its part to cut carbon emissions and help limit global warming. with so much at stake, you would think climate action would be central to this election, but here in central queensland, an area with deep economic ties to fossilfuels, this is what campaigning looks like. this is the real stuff, this is what is paying for education, our health. there is a lot of rubbish out

there that the labor party don't support the mining sector, and what i can tell you... despite the government's commitment to net zero emissions by 2050, both major parties here are throwing their weight behind a lucrative but heavily polluting industry. the coal shipped from the port here in gladstone have helped make australia the second biggest exporter on the planet. it's contributed massively to global carbon emissions, but also to the national economy, creating jobs and providing many families with a good standard of living. gladstone's aluminium factory has pledged to move away from coal as renewables get cheaper. for workers here, the realfear is getting left behind. if the new industry comes here, we need to make sure that we're going to get our workforce that are here now trained to actually fit these roles, because if this is going to replace something, it's got to replace their pay packets. just outside gladstone, a factory is being built

to make equipment for producing hydrogen from renewables. but those working with local government and industry on the energy of the future say politicians continuing to support coal isn't helpful. i'm really worried that if we can't send clearer signals to each other, but to the rest of the world, around having serious targets around decarbonisation, that we are going to miss out on a whole lot of international investment that is poised at the moment. it's a different picture in bigger cities. some independent candidates are making climate change a defining campaign issue. and that's making them a real threat to previously safe government seats in sydney and melbourne. a change in the balance of power in this election could mean a change in the country's climate policy and its attitude towards fossil fuels. shaimaa khalil, bbc news.

well, the big preoccupation here in the uk at the moment is the cost of living crisis and the cost of living crisis and the strength of the economy. i wonder how significant are those concerns for australian to mark? , those concerns for australian to mark?— to mark? very significant, aart to mark? very significant, apart from _ to mark? very significant, apart from climate - to mark? very significant, apart from climate the - to mark? very significant, l apart from climate the back prices are rising herejust like they are in other parts of the world, we have seen in patient get close to two decade highs and it's really notjust issues like the cost of food or the cost of fuel like is in the uk but also the cost of housing, i don't know if you can see behind me at some of the most pricey residential properties we have been talking about in sydney, sydney is one of the most expensive cities in australia, recentjust x australia, recent just x showing australia, recentjust x showing for housing is the only other place more expensive in the world is hong kong. for a lot of young australians heading to the polls this weekend, seems like being able to afford your own home, sit

down and think about what your salary mean versus some of the expenses that you have, for both parties this has become a major talking point but as we know it is notjust a australian issue but a global one. and certainly at the top of mind for many voters. we will talk about _ of mind for many voters. we will talk about the cost of living crisis more and inflation in the business news inflation in the business news in 20 minutes. amnesty international says fifa should earmark at least m40 million for the hundreds of thousands of migrant workers who have suffered human rights abuses in qatar during preparations for the 2022 world cup, six months ahead of the tournament's opening game. our reporter, mark lobel, has more on what amnesty and other human rights groups are proposing. this these groups want to ensure the hundreds of thousands of abuses suffered upon migrant workers, be it

unpaid wages, unscrupulous recruitment fees or even lives lost, just not forgotten. and we are just six months from the start of this world cup. so there is an argument this may be their last chance before the international media spotlight moves on from qatar. lets have a look at their exact proposal begins with m40 million worth, in a fund they say should be split between compensation cost for labour abuses but also to support initiatives to protect workers rights in the future and they want that in place, and they want that in place, and committed to by the end of the world cup. there has been progress made by fifa and the qatari government in this area since 2017, quite a lot of progress in fact and fifa show there statement have responded to this proposal by pointing some of this progress by saying theyin some of this progress by saying they in the tournament organisers are implementing their own grievance mechanisms

to support workers they raised to support workers they raised to $26 million to ensure repayment of recruitment fees and that fifa is on this plan proposed by amnesty and other human rights groups, considering the proposal but it involves a wide range of non— fifa world cup public infrastructure, suggesting a lot of it falls outside the scope of the responsibility. so something to argue on there, the qatari government given the plan a cooler response. let's show you what they had to say. they said the new report undermines much of the goodwill generated from engagement will always yield better results in condemnation, especially when they are unreasonably demanded stop so a bit of work to do there. stay with us on bbc news, still to come: honouring tom cruise — the hollywood star receives an honorary palme d'or as he makes his first visit to the festival in 30 years.

orfour minutes' time, i will see you soon. goodbye. hello, again. there's a few big thunderstorms to watch out for over the next few hours. particularly of concern is across parts of central, southern england, southeast england, and into areas of east anglia, as well. but on into thursday's forecast, they'll all be out of the way, and we're looking at some warm spells of sunshine. so let's take a look at those storms, then. they first developed across the channel islands, and in the first hour that they existed, there had already been over 10,000 lightning strikes, these storms here. now, what's going happen over the next several hours is they'll work in probably around hampshire, sussex, surrey, greater london, moving into east anglia. they could bring some localised flash flooding — 25 millimetres of rain in some of them falling injust one hour. some large hail is a possibility, as well as some very strong gusts of wind, locally. eventually it will become drier and quieter, and temperatures, as we start thursday morning, around 10—14 celsius,

so it is going to be mild. now, there could be an odd shower left over across the far southeast of england, but otherwise, a largely fine morning, with spells of sunshine. there'll be a bit of high cloud in the sky, that'll make the sunshine a little hazy at times, and through the afternoon, we could see a few passing showers for northern ireland and northwest scotland, but even here, not many. most of you feeling warm in the sunshine — 19 celsius in aberdeen, 23 towards london and southeast england. it won't be quite so warm, though, on friday. the wind'll pick up, and we've got this band of rain that's going to be pushing its way eastwards off the atlantic. now, there could be another batch of thunderstorms coming in from europe, that gets very close to southeast england, so we'll have to keep a close eye on that. but otherwise, there'll be a gap between the showers and the more general rain across the north and the west, so there could be some areas that just about stay dry. but whether you stay dry or not, temperatures will be a little bit lower, 15—18 celsius. now, the weekend starts off with some sunshine, showers mostly confined to the northwest, and after that sunny start,

things tend to turn a little bit cloudier through the afternoon, but still with some sunny spells coming through from time to time. temperatures on saturday in any sunshine should reach the low 20s, but across the north and west, not much sunshine, a bit of rain, 1a—15 celsius here. sunday and monday, again, there could be one or two showers, mostly across the northwest of the uk, but otherwise some pleasant spells of sunshine. that's the latest weather. bye— bye.
