dramatic picture in putting quite a dramatic picture in front of you but it's impossible to see how were going to get this growth. everyone believes in growth and that's possibly why liz truss relaunch this high respect route but all governments and parties see they believe in it but it's hard to see how that is possible without vastly improved infrastructure. and we can'tjust being new roads and we do have a climate emergency and that has to be addressed as the united nations shout from the rooftop every day now. nations shout from the rooftop every da now. , ., ., ., nations shout from the rooftop every da now. , ., ., ~ ., day now. very good to talk to thank ou so day now. very good to talk to thank you so much _ day now. very good to talk to thank you so much for— day now. very good to talk to thank you so much for your _ day now. very good to talk to thank you so much for your time. - day now. very good to talk to thank you so much for your time. now - day now. very good to talk to thank. you so much for your time. now let's take a look at the latest covert infections covid—19 infections have dropped in england and wales, but levels continue to increase in northern ireland, while the trend is uncertain in scotland. the latest figures from the office

for national statistics show about 1.9 million people tested positive for coronavirus in the week ending the 24th of october. discounts on energy bills will be offered to households that use less power during peak times under plans from the national grid to avoid blackouts. the scheme is going to be tested in england, scotland and wales on 12 days between now and march, though only properties with a smart meter will be able to take part. national grid estimates it could save eligible households up to £100. our business correspondent emma simpson reports. it's the time of day when many of us get home, put on the lights, and all the appliances as well. but millions of us could now earn money off our bills by using less electricity when demand is at its peak. julie, in saffron walden, is up for it. so what i've done is i've ditched the kettle and i bought this water dispenser. the reason i've done that is because i was finding that

i was boiling the same piece of water time and time again. i hear you. she's already taken part in a small trial this year and has signed up for the national grid's new scheme. if you've got enough notice, which normally may be the day before, you can plan around it, you can just sort of say we are going to have dinner at this time. i think it's a really good thing for everybody to try and do if they are able to. i think it's something that i've found that i've actually enjoyed doing. it's part of our lives. and you've earned some money. i've earned a bit of money out of it, yeah. so what's the deal with the national grid's demand flexibility scheme? there are 12 one—hour tests planned for this winter. they'll take place between 4pm and 7pm, peak time for energy use. national grid says a typical household could save £100 off their bills, but it all depends on how much energy you use and your energy company. you need a smart meter to take part. most energy suppliers

are in the process of signing up. to really reduce your electricity use it's all about the big appliances like the washing machine, the tumble dryer and dishwasher, using them late in the evening or even overnight, but is the financial incentive going to be big enough to get households and businesses to take part? here at national grid they have to balance supply and demand by the minute. they want to be able to save two gigawatts of electricity during peak hours if needed — the equivalent of powering a million homes. we are running these things as trials to make sure that it works. we hope not to have to use them this winter in anger, but it's just really being ready for every contingency. it's something they've never tried on this scale before. they've got mothballed coal plants on standby as well, all to help this control room keep the lights on this winter in these challenging times. emma simpson, bbc news, reading.

the king has welcomed world leaders, business figures, environmentalists and ngos to buckingham palace for a reception ahead of the un climate summit c0 p27. it was announced last month that the monarch would not be travelling to the summit in egypt after discussions with the then prime minister, liz truss. the new prime minister, rishi sunak, delivered a speech at the reception, his latest public remarks since he u—turned on his decision not to attend cop27. his majesty has been working to help find practical solutions to climate change and biodiversity loss for more than 50 years. long before copi let alone cop27. and when you look at the challenge before us. it is easy to feel daunted. i believe the agreements we reached in glasgow are a source of hope for the world.

perhaps one of the greatest breakthroughs of all is that at the king's suggestion, while prince of wales, glasgow was the first cop to bring together so many of the leading businesses and investors and to direct the world is wealth systematically to protecting our planet. now, of course as we all know, there is much further to go. that as recent events have shown, delivery on the promise of glasgow is more important than ever. as her late majesty, the queen said, in her address in the cop26, "it is the hope of many that the legacy of the summit, written in history books yet to be printed will describe you as a leaders who did not pass up the opportunity. and that you answered the call of those future generations." i hear that call repeatedly

from my own young daughters, too. and i'm sure you hear that call as well. so let me finish by saying this, the uk's cop presidency may be coming to an end. but our global leadership will continue. together, we will write that chapter in history and bequeath our children, and grandchildren a legacy to be proud of. thank you. the payments are talking there at that reception at buckingham palace in his afternoon all in the run—up to the clock 27 climate conference. hundreds of workers at london's heathrow airport will walk out in the run—up to the world cup finals this month over demands for better pay. the unite union says 700 workers, who are involved in ground—handling, airside transport and cargo,

will strike for three days starting from november the 18th. growing number of pastors and politicians are urging photos in next week's midterm elections to take back the country for god. challenging the countries commitment to the separation of church and state. in this divided nation the christian in this divided nation, the christian right has found a new voice. this country belongs to god almighty. this isn't church service. hundreds of people are being baptised after a rally in pennsylvania, some overwhelmed by their experience of god. thousands have turned out because they believe their christian values are under attack and that god belongs in government. you cannot separate

god from politics. you cannot take him out of our government. these events tap into people's anger about covid lockdowns and donald trump's election loss. the man himself dialled in while his son was on the stage. we love you all and we are going to bring this country back. our country has never been in such bad shape. they are reframing american conservative politics as spiritual warfare against the radical left. chris and bobby foley have travelled from north carolina. they took away the bible, they took awayjesus in everything, and so now we are being run by devils, we are being run by satan because it is a spiritual war. some call this rise of the religious right christian nationalism, the belief that america was founded as a christian nation and should remain one. it has taken on a new intensity in this fractured political world, breaking covered during the storming of the capitol, where christian

symbols and prayer were on display. good evening... greg locke was one of many pastors at the capitol that day. he has millions of followers on line and preaches to hundreds every week. you ain't seen the insurrection yet. he has managed to weave his political views into an apocalyptic worldview laced with conspiracy theories. you god—hating communists, you will find out what an insurrection is, because we ain't playing your garbage! you are calling fellow americans evil, and putting it in the context of an apocalyptic battle between good and evil. there is an apocalyptic battle between... and so that is the kind of language that could be used to incite violence. that is not my responsibility. you don't see that as a responsibility, to stay away from possibly inciting violence? no, i am not inciting violence, i am preaching the bible. but many christians are fighting back against this interpretation of the bible. father, thank you for this day... pastor kevin riggs is a community activist. he believed scripture teaches that god cares most about

social justice. my concern with the religious right has been that they are damaging the reputation of the church. i have had friends who are pastors at churches and because they spoke out against the religious right or against president trump, then they are asseting their church. next week's election will be the first test of this vocal minority at the polls. if the republicans wins big, it could become a powerfulforce pushing the party further to the right. barbara plett usher, bbc news, pennsylvania. 100 years ago today, archaeologists made one of the world's greatest discoveries — tutankhamun's 3000—year—old tomb. robert hall explores why that breakthrough a century ago caused such a sensation. 33 centuries had passed . since human feet last trod the floor on which we stood.

legend says it was spotted by a young egyptian — the buried staircase leading to what archaeologists still call the greatest find ever made. howard carter had spent over a decade looking for it. from now on, each chapter would be more incredible than the last. in a tiny tomb, we have everything from the royal court crammed in. we've got gold, jewellery, flowers, lunch boxes, underwear, clothes, sandals. we get a sense of the variety of material that survived from ancient egypt — some of it wonderfully news of the find was rushed here, to highclere castle — famous for its downton abbey connection nowadays, but back then, the story of tutankhamun is always linked with one name — that of howard carter, the man who broke through that wall 100 years ago. but carter wouldn't have been there at all without the passion and, perhaps more importantly, the finance of another egyptologist — this man, the 5th earl of carnarvon.

the story sparked what became known as tutmania. from a few curious visitors, to the millions who viewed the wonders of the tomb at travelling exhibitions. i am sorry, there will be no more admission for the exhibition tonight. it is the last day, so we're going to put him to sleep now for another 3,000 years. and hanging in the air, the legend of a pharaoh�*s curse on those who dared to enter the tomb. the newspapers named five men as its victims — among them, lord carnarvon himself. like tutankhamun's interlocking coffins, there are many layers to this story. howard carter's successors are still finding new pieces of the jigsaw, still solving the mysteries which remain hidden in the valley of the kings. that report from robert hall right now will take at the

liquor hello there. for most of us, it was quite a nice day today, but it is getting cold right now, especially for eastern areas. out to the west, one or two showers perhaps coming in off the irish sea, but the cloud will be thickening to bring some rain into western areas overnight. towards the east, though, still largely dry and it's going to be quite cold. these are the temperatures by the end of the night, but before then, even in eastern england, temperatures could be close to freezing once again. we've got the rain in the west early on saturday. that moves slowly eastwards. it will be followed by some sunshine in northern ireland and through the afternoon across much of scotland. the rain as it moves into england and wales becomes quite light and patchy. there will still be a lot of cloud around, and temperatures in the afternoon 12—14 degrees. could be some wet weather in the south—east of england actually overnight to clear away from the south—east on sunday morning, and then following on from that, some further rain moving eastwards across england and wales. to the north, fewer showers and more in the way of sunshine, but the winds are strengthening on sunday. and those temperatures changing very little. goodbye.

today at six — the albanian drug gangs using the migrant camps in france to lure workers over to britain. there's been a sharp rise in the number of albanians crossing the channel in small boats this year — we report from albania on what's behind it. locals in this neighbourhood say 70% of the community has already left, and many of those living here now are thinking ofjoining them.
