1:31 pm
september across many parts of the country right now. the weather tends to change. the rain comes and goes, but as far as the temperatures go, up but as far as the temperatures go, up to 21 degrees in one or two spots across the south—east and 17 in edinburgh. all down to this current of warm air spreading in from the south, notjust over us but many parts of western europe. in france at the moment, some spots are in the mid to high 20s. here is that rain that swept across the country earlier. it has now mostly moved to the north and out to the north sea. behind it is the low—grade crowd thatis behind it is the low—grade crowd that is still hanging around in a few areas. we will call it bright spells rather than sunny spells for most of us. the exception is in east anglia and the south—east where it is really lovely. 21, possibly 22 degrees. in the north of the country and scotland, a bit more clout and spots of rain and the mid to high teens. clear spells for a time this
1:32 pm
evening but as we head through this evening, heavy rain was spreading into the western parts of the uk and particularly heavy for a time in northern ireland and western scotland. lashings of rain with gusty wind but further to the east and south, the weather should be dry and south, the weather should be dry and very mild overnight. 13—15. a wet time for many tomorrow morning but swiftly the weather front will move to the north. sticking around in northern scotland to the evening hours. tomorrow, every bit as mild, so we get these temperatures of 20 degrees or more, multiple days in a row. we talked about it yesterday and that will not change into the weekend. the weather is changeable with weather fronts coming from the south, that's where the warm air is coming from. wet weather for a time on saturday morning and many of us will get some rain before it clears up. again in the south—east, 20 or 21 celsius. mid—teens, these temperatures appear should be down
1:33 pm
there at this time of year. on sunday, admittedly a little more fresh. but 18 is still above average. 1a or 15 for the lowlands of scotland but some showers for north—western areas through the weekend. it looks like things will turn a little bit cooler as we go into next week but from the icons you can see very changeable weather and exceedingly mild at least into the start of the week. that's all from the bbc news at one, so it's goodbye from me, and on bbc one we nowjoin the bbc�*s news teams where you are. good afternoon, it's 1.33, i'm laura mcghie and this is the bbc news channel. after months of turmoil, could there be a potential light at the end of the tunnel for worcester warriors? a consortium — led by former coach steve diamond — has shown an interest in buying
1:34 pm
the financially—stricken club and they held a press conference today, outlining their intentions. our sports news correspondent laura scott listened to the press conference and joins us now. laura — what happened today? well this was the big launch of steve diamond's consortium bid to buy worcester. we hadn't heard anything to suggest that he was interested in being a co—owner of the club, but today he launched that project, called six ways village, it was a development of the stadium and the area. what is clear from what steve diamond said is it is a long—term project. he thinks if worcester get relegated, it will take around three years to get back into the premiership. that is because they want to build a sustainable model that well mean
1:35 pm
they're not relying on putting in e5 they're not relying on putting in £5 million a year to keep it afloat. he thinks they need to build strong foundations from the bottom. of course, this will be of interest to supporters of worcester warriors, because we know for a month there has been an uncertainty about the future of the club and administrators were brought in. they have been dealing with potential buyers. we now there was a consortium led byjim 0'toole in the running to take over. but now they will be joined running to take over. but now they will bejoined by running to take over. but now they will be joined by this consortium led by steve diamond. as for as the time frame, he launched the bid to the rfu, the premiership rugby and the rfu, the premiership rugby and the administrators. he expects a decision between now and the end of the november. he sees it as the us p of this bid is him. he thinks that he is the only person with the rugby and business knowledge to help the

the global climate summit begins next week and there are concerns that governments will reject more drastic measures to cut carbon emissions. 0ne place where geopolitical turmoil is already having an impact on the climate fight is svalbard in the arctic circle. the norwegian archipelago is warming quicker than any other place on earth. 0ur europe correspondent nick beake reports. venture deep into the arctic circle and you find svalbard. there is no place quite like it. and here, a struggle for survival. climate change is on fast forward. this polar explorer wants to show us how her world disappearing. soon, an incredible site copy but one framed sadness. to survive as a polar bear now i think you have to be super good at hunting, as a polar bear, because the main source of food, the seals, are diminishing and the ice that
1:39 pm
both the seal on the polar bears are dependent on our diminishing. it is getting less and less ice. this norwegian archipelago is warming six times faster than the global average. there is much less ice here to reflect heat and more exposed ocean to absorb it. these beluga whales are swimming and water that is much hotter than it used to be and all wildlife here in svalbard is having to adapt to this hotter world. you can hear them now. it's hotter in the water and it's hotter in the air, too. melting here raises sea levels and affects weather patterns across the globe. in what is the northernmost settlement in the world, its life on the edge. houses are being moved and rebuilt. new barriers installed to stop avalanches triggered by the thawing ground.
1:40 pm
wherever i look around us, i see change. and leading polar scientist kim holliman tells us the war in ukraine is now undermining the effort to understand climate change. the official exchange with russian institutions is not possible at this time. half of the arctic is russian coastline and if we are unable to share knowledge and data it will hamper our ability to understand what is happening. we need each other in order to do good science. svalbard attracts tens of thousands of visitors every year, putting further strain on this fragile environment. but the authorities claim they are moving towards renewable energy.
1:41 pm
now we are in one of the two production sites we have here, eight kilometres in the mine. this is svalbard and norway's last coalmine which we are told is due to close. it makes me sad. it was a mining town and now it is coming to an end, it is more and more of a tourist town. but just a fortnight after our visit the state—owned company announces it is delaying the closure. why? it says europe's energy crisis now makes the mine a more profitable operation. if they can't give up fossil fuels and the fastest warming place on earth, what hope for the rest? the un says we face a climate emergency. the alarm is sounding, we ignore it at our peril. nick beake, bbc news, in the arctic circle.
1:42 pm
let's return now to one of our top stories this hour as politicians in northern ireland are attempting to elect a new speaker at stormont, as part of efforts to restore devolved government. but they're up against a deadline of midnight — otherwise they'll face another election. the dup has said it will not support the re—establishment of the assembly in protest against post—brexit trading arrangements affecting northern ireland. let's hear what sinn fein's michelle 0'neill had to say at the start of proceedings in stormont. most of us are here, because we want to do thejob most of us are here, because we want to do the job that we were elected to do the job that we were elected to do. today, our care taker ministers rally to take decisions within tight limits before civil servants are left in an impossible position where they are expected to run our public services and yet have no budget and no powers to to so.
1:43 pm
jeffrey donaldson and the dup are in a stand off with the public, the majority of whom they don't speak for. he stood for election, but failed to show up. this is his mess and a failure of leadership by him and a failure of leadership by him and his party. he and the dup are left us at the mercy of the tory government. the tories careless for the consequences of their decision and their political choices on the lives of workers and families here. jeffrey donaldson points the finger at everyone else for the dup�*s failures. the facts are that back in may, people voted for change. they voted, because they want politics to work. the want grown—up politicians to take challenges seriously. jeffrey donaldson and the dup do not take these matters seriously. at a
1:44 pm
time when so many workers and families and businesses are suffering from the incredible pressures of the cost—of—living crisis and our health service is broken and waiting lists need to be tackled, people need to know that we have their backs. the secretary of state met with the parties yesterday and restated his position that one minute past midnight should no first minister and no deputy first minister and no deputy first minister be appointed that he will call another election. and here we are hear in this chamber in and in this hourwow are hear in this chamber in and in this hour wow could appoint a speaker, a first minister, appoint a new executive to take decisions to put money into people's pockets. but the dup are continuing to deny and disrespect the outcome of the may election. next to speak was the dup�*s paul givan. what the secretary of state needs to do is get _ what the secretary of state needs to do is get on with hisjob, so we can do is get on with hisjob, so we can do our— do is get on with hisjob, so we can do ourioh — do is get on with hisjob, so we can do ourioh it — do is get on with hisjob, so we can do ourjob. it was the united

1:46 pm
is the _ cost—of—living crisis, the protocol is the biggest driver of that within a northern ireland context. so as people _ a northern ireland context. so as people face a cost—of—living crisis, the secretary of state is set to call an — the secretary of state is set to call an election so he can save face — call an election so he can save face to — call an election so he can save face to do _ call an election so he can save face. to do so by the secretary of state _ face. to do so by the secretary of state will — face. to do so by the secretary of state will be an admission of failure — state will be an admission of failure on his part and the part of uk government, because it is they who have — uk government, because it is they who have promised the northern iretand _ who have promised the northern ireland protocol bill, who are negotiating with the eu and to this day have _ negotiating with the eu and to this day have has been failure on the part of— day have has been failure on the part of the — day have has been failure on the part of the uk government. so it will he _ part of the uk government. so it will he the — part of the uk government. so it will be the secretary of state that will be the secretary of state that will own _ will be the secretary of state that will own the decision to call this election — will own the decision to call this election. but unlike the conservative party, we are not afraid _ conservative party, we are not afraid of— conservative party, we are not afraid of an election if it is called _ afraid of an election if it is called. we are ready to seek a renewed — called. we are ready to seek a renewed mandate to get the fair deal and a _ renewed mandate to get the fair deal and a restoration of devolution on the basis — and a restoration of devolution on the basis of both unionist ands nationalist supporting it. that is the solid — nationalist supporting it. that is the solid foundation upon which this assembly— the solid foundation upon which this assembly needs to be created.

answer is, the people of northern ireland come first. _ the ulster unionist party leader doug beattie also spoke. here is an interesting thing, the moment the new prime minister became the prime minister, the first thing he did was to call the welsh government and the scottish government and the scottish government leaders and to pass on his vision for the united kingdom. he has not rang the northern ireland first or deputy first minister, because we don't have one. and he has spoke about the intergovernmental relations forum, the four nations coming together to talk about the issues that affect all corners of the united kingdom. and we are not going to be part of that. because we don't have a government running at this moment in time. we are being put on the windowsill of the united kingdom. and that concerns me, as in the whole uk unionist and as an ulster
1:50 pm
unionist. this is because of the protocol. we have changed on that issue from rigorous implementation, to people saying there are fundamental problems here, and we have to deal with those fundamental problems. there are and we do and we can't ignore it and we have been arguing this case since 2019 that we need to fix these problems. but to fix these problems shouldn't be done at the detriment of having stable government. they can be done at the same time, they are being done at the same time, they're being done as we speak, things have moved, conversations have changed. but it is our people who are suffering. and as we get into this place where we have nothing and we don't have even the basis or the foundations of any form of government here in northern ireland, because the last vestiges of it from this place goes at

1:52 pm
arthur smith is an extraordinary london bus driver, who gave up the best part of a year, devoting his life to the people of ukraine. it feels good. it feels nice to be back in my normal surroundings, driving vehicles that i used to drive all the time. it puts everything into place. i appreciate the smaller things and being able to come to work and drive and just have a normal, normal life. it does feel very nice. his volunteer role, ferrying medical supplies to the front line and transporting the injured. a concept that went viral, leading to hundreds of volunteers joining his convoy from the uk to ukraine. the things that we saw and what was happening there is just unreal. something i couldn't have ever imagined. and what you see, what they're allowed to show you on television and online isjust nothing compared to the... the reality of it.
1:53 pm
arthur's team ended up transporting 1a,000 people to safety, delivering 95 tonnes of medical supplies. we stayed in towns that were obliterated completely, where there was one or two houses standing and we stayed in them overnight and sometimes we'd only be in there an hour or so because they'd start shelling and we'd have to leave and our houses would be shaking and you'd think, "this is this is going to be us next." so you'd leave and move on to the next place. and you've just driven six, eight hours through roads with potholes like craters, and then you get down halfway down a motorway and it's destroyed. so you have to drive all the way back and around and then you just want to sleep. and then the air raid sirens go off. and you can't. and it's very exhausting. now home, arthur has embraced the everyday routine of driving buses. it does feel nice to have a sense of security, of being able to go to bed at night.
1:54 pm
