tonight at ten: a dire warning on the impact of climate change from the head of the united nations. as extreme weather batters the planet, the un secretary general tells the bbc we are approaching a point of no return and climate change must be a priority again. if we are not able to reverse the present threat that is leading to catastrophe in the world, we will be doomed. it comes ahead of cop 27 — a major climate conference in egypt next month. also on the programme... on his first full day as prime minister, rishi sunak scraps more of liz truss�*s plans and he defends his reappointment of suella braverman as home secretary. the home secretary made an error ofjudgment but she recognised that, she raised the matter

and she accepted her mistake. he's so weak he has done a grubby deal trading national security because you are scared to lose another leadership election. a sharp rise in the number of people crossing the channel in small boats — more than 38,000 have arrived in the uk this year. and in champions league football, liverpool beat ajax to secure a place in the last 16. and coming up in the sport on the bbc news channel, nightmare in melbourne. a major upset, as england's stunned by ireland in a rain—affected defeat at the t20 world cup. good evening. the united nations secretary—general says the world is heading for a catastrophe unless climate

change is prioritised. new figures released by the un show concentrations of greenhouse gases rose to record levels in the atmosphere last year. world leaders will meet in egypt for the next un climate summit, cop27. at last year's summit, a new global agreement was reached, the glasgow climate pact, for countries to revisit and strengthen their current emissions targets by the end of this year. the plan was to reduce the use of coal, phase it down rather than phaseit of coal, phase it down rather than phase it out. money for developing countries would be significantly increased to help them cope with the effects of climate change and make the switch to clean energy. 0ur climate editor reports from new york where he has been talking to the un secretary—general. it has been a year

of extreme weather. devastating floods in pakistan, drought in somalia with millions threatened by famine, and record—breaking heat in the uk and many other countries. it's why the un chief says climate is the most important issue in his in—tray. climate change is the crisis of our lifetime. it's the defining issue of today's world. so, climate change remains a central priority in everything we do. if we are not able to reverse the present trend that is leading to catastrophe in the world, we will be doomed. and a welter of new reports released by un bodies today reveals the worlds woeful progress on climate. at the glasgow conference, countries agreed to raise their carbon cutting game every year. well, we have just got the figures in for this year and just 2a out of 193 countries strengthened their plan. if you take together all the pledges the world has made, we still see emissions

increasing by 10% by 2030. now, the science is very clear on this. it says emissions need to almost halve by 2030 to avoid the worst effects of climate change, so we are moving in the wrong direction. it's the same story when you take an atmospheric perspective. another new report shows concentrations of the main greenhouse gases — carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide — all hit record levels last year, with the biggest increase in methane ever recorded. it underscores the urgency of action. do you think the governments of the world recognise that? not necessarily all of them at the present moment. you have inflation, you have the consequences of the war, you have high prices of energy and food, and social unrest linked to that. so there has been indeed a tendency to put climate change on the back burner. and that is why it is so important to strongly advocate to bring back climate

change to the centre of the international debate. there have been fears some countries, including the uk, have been rolling back on some of their climate commitments. liz truss advised king charles not to go to the un climate summit in egypt, for example. should the king go to cop27? do you want to see him there? and what about the new uk prime minister, rishi sunak? do you want to see him there in egypt? i'd like to see them both. i'm sensing that you are slightly worried about the uk government's's commitment on climate. if they need to be held to account by the people, it suggests they are not... there were some hints but i hope they do not correspond to the reality. let's be optimistic about the future. reality. let's be optimistic about the future-— reality. let's be optimistic about the future. , , . ., ., ., the future. this year, we have had a taste of the — the future. this year, we have had a taste of the kind _ the future. this year, we have had a taste of the kind of— the future. this year, we have had a taste of the kind of extreme - the future. this year, we have had a| taste of the kind of extreme weather climate change can bring. the message from the un today is clear —

unless we raise ambition in egypt, the world will face far greater extremes. you might think ukraine, global inflation or the breakdown in relations between america and china were the key issues, but the un chief says relations between the northern and southern hemispheres, between richer and poorer countries are also at a dangerously low ebb. he said wealthy countries underestimate how angry the developing world is about the impacts of climate change and its failure to deliver cash to help out. he said the key word is trust and told me unless we re—establish trust, it will not be possible to successfully tackle climate change. thank you. and there's much more information about the climate conference in egypt on bbc news 0nline — that's bbc.co.uk/news — or use the bbc news app.

0n on his first full day as prime minister, rishi sunak has announced yet more unravelling of liz truss's plans. the ban on fracking in england is back in place after it was briefly lifted. the government's economic statement due to be delivered on monday has now been pushed back by almost three weeks to november the 17th and we will have to wait until then to find out if the state pension will still rise in line with prices, despite this being promised by liz truss. meanwhile rishi sunak defended his decision to reappoint suella braverman as home secretary, less than a week after she was forced to leave the role for a data breach. chris mason has the details. he used to pop out of this front door when he was chancellor. rishi sunak and the rest of us will now be getting used to him coming out of this one, next door. the new prime minister had a lunchtime appointment in the house of commons. speaker: prime minister. conservatives have found their voices and smiles again — even the benches got a bashing.

can ijust say, don't damage the furniture, cheer him all by all means! come on! may i welcome the prime minister. the first british—asian prime - minister is a significant moment in our national story and a reminder that for all of our challenges, - britain is a place where people of all races and beliefs can - fulfil their dreams. but he then immediately questioned one of his first decisions. was his home secretaryj right to resign last week for a breach of security? the home secretary made an error ofjudgment but she recognised that, she raised the matter and she accepted her mistake, and that's why i was delighted to welcome back into a united cabinet that brings experience and stability to the heart of government. this time last week, suella braverman was out as home secretary,

having used her personal e—mail account to send government documents to a conservative colleague not entitled to see them. so, sir keir asked, had officials raised concerns about mrs braverman getting her old job back? the prime minister ducked the question. we can see what has happened here. he is so weak, he's done a grubby deal trading national security- because he was scared to lose another leadership election. . here was the reinstated home secretary turning up alongside her colleagues for the new cabinet's first meeting this morning. new faces in newjobs, old faces in old jobs, and some old faces in newjobs. back in the commons, another of liz truss's policies was being junked. if he is a man of his word, - will he start by reversing the green light she gave to fracking?

i have already said that i stand by the manifesto on that. liz truss liked the idea of fracking in england, drilling into the earth to extract gas, but the conservative manifesto, their promises at the last election, said no. the biggest political contest to come, though, is about our finances. the tories have crashed the economy, and now somebody has _ to pay for their mess. i'm the first to admit that mistakes were made, and that is the reason i'm standing here. leadership is not selling fairy tales, it is confronting challenges and that is the leadership the british people will get from this government. the political landscape has changed. this is the image the government wants to project, with pictures of people on the same side actually getting on. well, for now, at least. the new levelling up secretary

michael gove even suggested today that boring is back, this from a bloke who was sacked in the summer, described as a snake and then spent the last few weeks lobbing rocks at liz truss's government. what was noticeable today was the return of something we have not seen in a long time, normal. rememberthat? time, normal. remember that? conservatives time, normal. rememberthat? conservatives and labour and others scrapping with one another rather than the tories are scrapping with themselves. but the challenges for rishi sunak are huge, there is the economic statement which has been pushed back to three weeks tomorrow, and big questions. take state pensions for instance, will they rise in line with prices? possibly but it's not guaranteed yet. what about benefits? will they rise in line with prices? again, likely but not confirmed. two of the many decisions that have to be taken, and taken soon.

chris mason, thank you. so the government's long awaited statement on its economic plans is being pushed back to thursday 17th november. the chancellor said it was "prudent" to allow more time to get the most up—to—date economic forecasts. our business correspondent dharshini david is here. thank you. yet another change of date means investors may be feeling the first chill of winter before they see that autumn statement. crucially, can the chancellor delivers stronger growth from tax cuts and get borrowing down? he says it will be worth the wait. fiur it will be worth the wait. our number one _ it will be worth the wait. our number one priority - it will be worth the wait. 0ur number one priority is economic stability— number one priority is economic stability and restoring confidence that the — stability and restoring confidence that the uk is a country that pays its way, — that the uk is a country that pays its way, and for that reason the medium — its way, and for that reason the medium term fiscal plan is extremely important _ medium term fiscal plan is extremely important and i want to confirm that it will_ important and i want to confirm that it will demonstrate debt falling over the — it will demonstrate debt falling over the medium term. the it will demonstrate debt falling over the medium term. ,., over the medium term. the government still faces a black _ over the medium term. the government still faces a black hole, _ over the medium term. the government

still faces a black hole, perhaps - still faces a black hole, perhaps £40 billion, close to what we spend on defence last year. that is even after the reversal of most of september's tax cuts. there also been recession warnings. the prime minister admits the profound economic crisis. could a further delay to publishing plans unleash market turmoil again? delay to publishing plans unleash market turmoilagain? maybe delay to publishing plans unleash market turmoil again? maybe not. this is the cost of government borrowing dictated by the bond market. after soaring in the wake of the mini budget after investors feared the plans were too risky, the rates have fallen once again. tax u—turns have underlined this is not just a new chancellor but the new strategy. it is this which may allow the government to unveil a brighter financial picture by delaying. if these rates are sustained, official projections could say the bill for debt interest may be up to £10 billion lower than it might be deemed now, when forecasts would reflect the height of the angst over

liz truss's plans. those lower bond rates could also spell a reduction in fixed rate mortgage deals, down from the current average of 6.5%, meaning less of an economic squeeze on hundreds of thousands of households who will soon have to remortgage. meanwhile, this delay could have other implications. there is a little bit more _ could have other implications. there is a little bit more time now- is a little bit more time now and the full— is a little bit more time now and the full autumn statement, that may mean _ the full autumn statement, that may mean more _ the full autumn statement, that may mean more decisions can be made and in particular— mean more decisions can be made and in particular decisions are specific to individual departments. how much education. _ to individual departments. how much education, health and so on will get _ education, health and so on will get that — education, health and so on will get. that would have been really hard to— get. that would have been really hard to do— get. that would have been really hard to do by monday. the currency markets do — hard to do by monday. the currency markets do like _ hard to do by monday. the currency markets do like the _ hard to do by monday. the currency markets do like the scope - hard to do by monday. the currency markets do like the scope for - hard to do by monday. the currency markets do like the scope for more | markets do like the scope for more detailed plans. the pound is up by more than 10 cents against the dollarfrom the more than 10 cents against the dollar from the lows reached after the mini budget, but could the chancellor use this time to explore wider options? rather than squeezing spending on services, could he look

to higher taxes? perhaps on businesses who benefited from the recent turmoil on energy and financial markets? whatever is revealed, the prime minister knows economic stability means more than navigating the current crisis. it will mean boosting long—term prosperity in a way that has evaded many of his predecessors.- prosperity in a way that has evaded many of his predecessors. there's been another sharp rise in the number of people crossing the channel in small boats this year. more than 38,000 people have already made the journey to the uk compared with 28,500 last year. and of the migrants who arrived here last year, almost none of them have had their application for asylum processed. the uk's asylum system is now costing more than £2 billion a year. our home editor mark easton reports. wait, wait, wait. and go! children pulled aboard an rnli lifeboat from the english channel just a few weeks ago.

breathing? breathing, yeah, breathing, walking. distressing images illustrating the challenge posed by record numbers of migrants trying to reach the kent coast in flimsy boats. for a brexit campaigner like suella braverman, who promised to take control of britain's borders, every arrival is an embarrassment, but the situation is also a huge practical challenge for the home secretary, because currently her department simply cannot cope. on arrival, migrants are taken here, a short—term holding centre at manston in kent. designed for 1,000, there were 2,800 people at the facility on monday when the independent inspector of borders paid a visit to the overflow tents hurriedly erected in the grounds. today, mps were told conditions at manston were so dangerous the inspector had been left speechless and had written to warn the home secretary. i spoke to an afghan family who had been in a marquee for 32 days, with kit mats on the floor, with blankets, for 32 days. and a syrian family who had been

there for two weeks as well, the mother of whom was terribly distressed because she didn't know where they were going, so this is pretty, pretty wretched conditions. home office officials say the nationalities of those crossing the channel is changing, with albanians now the number one category. in 2020, just 50 albanians arrived in small boats. last year, it was 800, this year, already, its 12,000 and, of that number, 10,000 are single men, representing more than 1% of albania's adult male population arriving in the uk this year. the rise has been exponential, and we think that is in the main due to the fact that albanian criminal gangs have gained a foothold in the north of france, and they've begun facilitating very large numbers of migrants. the home office says albanian crime groups organise travel for people

looking to reach the uk. planes bound for belgium, they say, are arranged for the express purpose of getting people into small boats. the new home secretary, suella braverman, wants many more migrants to be prosecuted for illegally arriving in kent. she is also enthusiastic about the scheme to send asylum seekers to rwanda, and would actually like to see the scheme expanded. and she also wants to prevent the european court of human rights from being able to stop flights. with the rwanda scheme stalled in the courts and 100,000 people stuck in the asylum system, many migrants are being housed in hotels like this one in scarborough. the cost, almost £7 million a day. hold the line! with government systems gridlocked, the rnli keeps training crews for rescuing migrants from the channel. there are no quick fixes to what was described to mps today as a really dangerous situation. mark easton, bbc news.

in india there's been huge pride since rishi sunak became the first british prime minister of indian descent. it's raised hopes of improved relations between the two countries and the revival of a delayed free trade deal. however, mr sunak�*s reappointment of suella braverman as home secretary, has also proved controversial in india, where many were offended by her claim earlier this month that indians in the uk are overstaying their work visas. 0ur south asia correspondent rajini vaidyanathan reports in this ever—changing nation they're reflecting on a milestone. 0ne their ancestors would never have thought was possible. more than 75 years ago, india was ruled by the british. now a person of indian origin is running britain. at this market in the capital delhi there has been a sense of pride at rishi sunak�*s rise. we are overwhelmed because the uk

has been ruling us in the past, so it feels great. it's kind of a circle has come complete, you know? reverse colonisation seems to be happening. they've ruled us for such a long time, and now that a brown person is there at the helm of affairs and he'll be dictating to also and he'll be dictating terms to the country, it does feel good. rishi sunak is the uk's new prime minister, . the first non—white... and that feeling has been reflected in the wall to wall tv coverage here in india. nidhi razdan is one of the country's best—known anchors at the nd tv network. her newsroom is covering every twist and turn of the sunak premiership. uk cabinet reshuffles rarely make the headlines here. i think that honeymoon where the whole india connection and the family connection and the hinduness, that's fine, but now we've got to see, will he walk the talk. he's appointed someone like suella braverman back

as home secretary which isn't sending a great message actually, when you look at her stand on immigration and her stand on the free—trade agreement with india. many in this country didn't take kindly to the comments that indians were the biggest group overstaying their visas in the uk. a few days ago on diwali rishi sunak�*s appointment was heralded as a bright new future for uk—india relations. but now is the festivities wind down that sense of pride has shifted to the political reality. six months ago and it was another tory prime minister making headlines here. borisjohnson pledged to secure a trade agreement with india by this week. but the uk and india have yet to wrap up a deal. as a former prime ministerial adviser, sanjaya baru knows a thing or two about these kinds of negotiations. does he think the return of

suella braverman makes a difference? in terms of public image i think rishi sunak has taken a bit of a hit because of notjust her statement but the fact she had to resign,s and that he has taken her back doesn't go well. 0n the day he entered number 10, rishi sunak wore a sacred hindu thread on his right wrist. but will his personal ties make an impact on the political and the much—awaited trade deal with india? rajini vaidyanathan, bbc news, delhi. now a look at some other stories making the news today. iranian security forces have opened fire on protesters in several cities, including tehran, who were marking 40 days since the death in custody of mahsa amini. she was accused of wearing her hijab incorrectly. in her home town thousands of people

marched to her grave, many of them shouting "death to the dictator". president putin has overseen russia's annual exercises involving strategic nuclear forces — amid growing fears of an escalation of the war in ukraine. the kremlin said that ballistic and cruise missiles had been fired on land, sea and in the air. the foreign secretary, james cleverly, has said that lgbt football fans who attend the world cup in qatar should be willing to show some compromise. he told lbc that anyone travelling to the tournament should be "respectful of the host nation", where same—sex activity is illegal. labour called the remarks "tone—deaf". the billionaire elon musk has posted a video of himself entering twitter�*s san francisco headquarters carrying a sinkjust days ahead of a court—ordered deadline to close his $44 billion deal for the social media platform. earlier in the day, mr musk updated his twitter profile

biography to "chief twit". in just under two weeks americans will take to the polls in the us midterm elections when all seats in the house of representatives are up for grabs, as well as a third of seats in the senate. one major issue having a big impact on voter enthusiasm across both parties is the supreme court ruling this summer which overturned the long—held constitutional right to abortion. 13 states have already severely restricted abortion rights, and these elections will determine the future of legal abortion in several other states. 0ur north america editor sarah smith reports from michigan. tim draeger often uses his private plane to fly cancer patients to hospital. now he's volunteering to transport pregnant women from states which have banned abortion to places where they can terminate a pregnancy. in michigan, abortion is legalfor now. across the us, 13 states have severely restricted abortion,

some with no exceptions for rape or incest, and it has become a major election issue. what does it say about america when people see what's been happening to abortion laws in some states? we're the country that espouses freedom. we say we have freedom of choice for a lot of things. here, i have to use that same freedom to help women find the freedom that they deserve, that they've had for 50 years. they should have that freedom everywhere, and that's why i hope we can push. they sing at st mary's catholic church, politics have now made their way into the pews. here in michigan, there is a special proposition on the ballot, asking voters if they want to guarantee abortion rights for women, and the priest is organising the opposition. it is one thing to kill a person, but to kill one's own child is another dimension of evil. for anti—abortion advocates

as well as pro—choice campaigners, abortion is central to this election campaign. it's really not that difficult to see on at least a grave moral issue like this one, you know, what you need to do and how you should vote. we think the fundamental right is not abortion but life. the right to access an abortion was overturned by the supreme court injune, and now the battle over what the law should be is being fought out state by individual state. why is it a right to kill your own child? abortion has to - become unthinkable. people have to really realise i what it actually is, and i think people that are for abortion don't really understand. - we've lost the whole idea of life as sacred. it's a gift from god. abortion has always been one of the most divisive issues in america, but this is the first time in almost 50 years that voters can have their say. in states like michigan, huge numbers of women have been registering to vote, vastly outpacing new male voters. and that's because this

year, abortion rights are specifically on the ballot. as democrats organise their campaigns, they are focusing on reproductive rights. instead of the rising cost of living, they would much rather warn voters about strict abortion limits many republicans advocate. to go to a total ban that doesn't have any exceptions for rape or incest, that says if you're having a miscarriage, you know, you have to wait until you are deathly ill to get a procedure, that is not something we are going to allow here because it rolls us so deeply backwards. and lead us not into temptation... anti—abortion activists have been campaigning for decades and it's long been an issue republicans could use to rally their base, but now it could cost them votes. our body! all: . the furious backlash to the removal of abortion rights is energising large numbers of voters, who are determined to make their voices heard in the polling booths. sarah smith, bbc news, lansing, michigan.

cricket now and england have suffered a major blow to their chances of reaching the knockout stages of the men's t20 world cup, after a shock defeat to ireland. england are one of the tournament favourites but the collapse of the top batting order — and the intervention of rain at the match in melbourne — meant they lost by five runs. they now need to beat australia, new zealand and sri lanka in their remaining games to guarantee progression. liverpool have secured their place in the last 16 of the champions league after victory at ajax but rangers are all but out of europe after defeat at napoli. tottenham will have to wait to secure their place in the knockout stages after being held to a draw by sporting lisbon. nesta mcgregor reports. liverpool's midweek trip to amsterdam provided a much—needed break from their domestic struggles. a resilient ajax held out untiljust before half—time. reds skipperjordan henderson with good work out wide, mo salah clinical as ever.

minutes into the second half, liverpool doubled their lead. andy robertson finding darwin nunez in a crowded penalty box. shortly after, it was three. a great night for liverpool, leaving with all three points and into the hat for the next round. in the same group, rangers knew nothing less than a win in naples would keep their european adventure alive, albeit in the europa league. but two first—half goals ensured a comfortable 3—0 win for napoli and rangers are still searching for their first points of the campaign. in a group so tight all four teams could still make the knockout stages, tottenham's fate was at least in their own hands. a win and they would be in the last 16. sporting lisbon's starting xi included marcus edwards, a player spurs released as a teenager. the striker back in north london and finding the back of the net. eager to avoid theirfate going down to the final game, tottenham pushed on.

rodrigo bentancur rising above everyone else. deep into injury time, spurs needed a hero, and so many times it's been harry kane. although his delight turned to disappointment. the goal was ruled out for offside. spurs are still in poll position, but with a tough fixture in marseille to come. nesta mcgregor, bbc news. time for a look at the weather. here's louise lear. it was very warm for some today. you don't have to look far the moment to see the signs of climate change. these are the temperatures we should be having in late october. look what we are going to expect tomorrow. everywhere seeing above—average temperatures, and in the south—east we could see temperatures 22 degrees as a high, 72 fahrenheit, that's more akin to a day injune rather than late october. the wind direction is the key factor, coming all the way up from africa, and it's notjust all the way up from africa, and it's not just the all the way up from africa, and it's notjust the uk that's experiencing this warmth. temperatures in central

europe a good 10 degrees above
