it's a choice, a choice between two vastly different visions of america. this tuesday, you must vote . republican in a giant red wave. and as tickets for the glastonbury festival sell out in minutes, what is the best way of getting yourself a place? hello and welcome if you're watching in the uk or around the world. no—one is a passenger on thisjourney. the un's annual climate change summit has opened in eygypt at the red sea resort of sharm el—sheikh. over the next 12 days, more than 100 world leaders and thousands of delegates will attend the conference, billed as the "world's watershed

moment on climate action." in a win for developing countries, delegates have just agreed to discuss whether richer countries should pay compensation for climate—fuelled disasters. we begin with this report from our climate editor, justin rowlatt. it has been a year of record—breaking temperatures and climate—related disasters around the world. but africa has been hit particularly hard. huge floods displaced more than a million people in nigeria last month. cyclones ripped through madagascar earlier this year. while another year of low rainfall pushed parts of somalia and elsewhere in east africa even closer to famine. it's easy to see why egypt says this should be a cop — a climate conference for africa. take a look at historic emissions. developed countries in places like europe and america got rich burning fossilfuels. lots of nations in asia, notably china, are now doing the same.

but take a look at africa's share. it is tiny, less than 8% of the total. and that's the issue. developing nations say we didn't cause the climate problem, so why should we pay to fix it? egypt is saying it's time for the rich world to come good on its promise of 100 billion a year to help finance developing countries to move away from fossil fuels and adapt to the changing climate. and there will be some new demands, too. remember the terrible floods in pakistan this summer? well, the developing world is also asking for cash to help with the loss and damage climate—related disasters like this are already causing. there's a lot of money for war, for instance, you know, in the system always when it's needed. 20 years there was a war next door. it was costing $300 million a day. so, no, i don't think it's an impossible ask. last week, the head of the un warned of a crisis of trust if there isn't

progress on the issue. but with a war in europe and soaring food and energy prices, wealthy countries warn they already have lots of calls on their cash. they don't want to sign up to an open—ended commitment that could end up costing hundreds of billions of dollars. the us climate envoy, john kerry, told the bbc the world's focus should remain on trying to cut emissions to minimise future climate change. we have an enormous challenge ahead of us to stop the damage from happening, and lots of countries are contributing to that damage today, including in the developing world. so we have to move faster to get off coal. we have to move faster to reduce fossil fuel consumption. so there is real potential for conflict and disagreement at the conference. the last cop ended on a high note, with ambitious

pledges from many nations. this year is about implementing those pledges, and that is a much more ambitious task. in short, don't expect any big breakthroughs in egypt. justin rowlatt, bbc news. the first speaker to address the summit was alok sharma, who chaired last year's climate conference in glasgow. here's a little bit of what he had to say. this conference must be about concrete action. and i hope that when the world leaders join us today, they will explain clearly what their countries have achieved during the last year and how they will go further. it is very simply a matter of trust. without its constituent members delivering on their commitments and agreeing to go further, the entire system falters. paris gave us the agreement.

glasgow gave us the plan. sharm el—sheikh shifts us to implementation. no—one can be a mere passenger on this journey. this is a signal that times have changed. i'm joined now by navin singh khadka, environment correspondent with the bbc world service. he joins us from london. delegates have agreed that they will at least discuss compensation for poorer countries affected by climate change disasters. how significant a breakthrough is that on what sort of reform might that take? the? breakthrough is that on what sort of reform might that take?— reform might that take? they have aareed a reform might that take? they have agreed a plan _ reform might that take? they have agreed a plan about _ reform might that take? they have agreed a plan about climate - reform might that take? they have i agreed a plan about climate financed agenda. it remains to be seen how detailed that will be, but the

initial agreement is... did not happen before, and that has been regarded as an achievement, as well as... awarding of the competition was not what they wanted, but it is a compromise. but then again... yes, something significant... during the opening. we something significant... during the oeninu. ~ . something significant... during the o..enin_. ., , something significant... during the ohenin, . ., , ., something significant... during the oeninu. ~ . , ., ., opening. we are struggling to hear ou, but opening. we are struggling to hear you. but we _ opening. we are struggling to hear you. but we will— opening. we are struggling to hear you, but we will continue - opening. we are struggling to hear you, but we will continue for- opening. we are struggling to hear you, but we will continue for a - opening. we are struggling to hear you, but we will continue for a bit. you, but we will continue for a bit and see how we get on. in terms of that question of who foots the bill, is that you are going to be the primary focus of this summit? because it is about what building on what has gone before and the agreements, and actually implement in them. , agreements, and actually implement inthem. , ,, ., , in them. yes, so basically how this will be done _ in them. yes, so basically how this will be done remains _ in them. yes, so basically how this will be done remains the _ in them. yes, so basically how this will be done remains the main - will be done remains the main question. it will need to be discussed, although there are some

insurance mechanisms and funding pools, but will people in poor countries agree? that is the question, and that is wouldn't to be discussed. but again, it is the agreement that they will talk on finance, on loss, on damage, that is key here, but then it remains to be seen how it goes ahead. how much is ridin: on seen how it goes ahead. how much is riding on this — seen how it goes ahead. how much is riding on this summit? _ seen how it goes ahead. how much is riding on this summit? they - seen how it goes ahead. how much is riding on this summit? they are - riding on this summit? they are callin: at riding on this summit? they are calling at implementation - riding on this summit? they are l calling at implementation summit which means that lots of negotiation, talks, have happened in the past. there needs to be action at now because of all the ones we have been hearing. imagine a 1.1 degrees rise we are seeing all across the world, all these extreme weather events, damages, so therefore they are saying that we need to talk about action now. but the question is will it happen? this entails lots of things like climate finance, whether you have the money to fight off, bring down emissions,

or to react to the inevitable impacts, loss and damage, but the overarching thing is about reducing emissions, how is that going to happen? because the un is warning that we are not on the path to obtain a goal ofi.5 that we are not on the path to obtain a goal of 1.5 degrees as it stands, so there has to be a drastic change in terms of how we consume fossil fuels and reduce emissions. thank you very much. the biggest ever strike by nurses in the uk looks set to go ahead, the first national strike organised by the royal college of nursing. the final results are still being counted, but the union says a large majority of nurses have voted to walk out. the strike action was decided in a ballot of around 300,000 members of the rcn, supported by over 50% of members. a starting salary for a band five nurse is £27,000, though experienced staff can earn much more. but spending cuts and inflation have seen salaries eroded.

the royal college of nursing is now calling for a rise of 5% on top of the rate of inflation. 0ur health editor hugh pym reports. there've been a series of ballots among the rcn's 300,000 members at individual workplaces. pay rises lower than inflation over several years and workforce shortages are reasons given by the royal college of nursing for the strength of feeling, which led to the ballot of members. detailed results of the voting, including turn—out, will be formally announced within days. the general secretary, pat cullen, says the signs are that, across the uk, members have spoken very clearly in favour of strike action. the rcn says any strikes would affect planned nhs treatment and appointments, but not emergency care. in england and wales, there have been pay awards of £1,a00 this year. the scottish government has offered just over 2,200.

there has been no formal offer yet in northern ireland. the department of health covering england says recommendations of the independent pay review body have been followed and unions should think hard before taking action which might affect patients. the royal college of midwives and ambulance staff members of the gmb union have already voted for strike action in scotland. unison, with members including paramedics and some hospital staff, is still balloting. hugh pym, bbc news. staying with uk politics now, and a senior government minister has denied that the prime minister rishi sunak knew details of bullying allegations against sir gavin williamson before he gave him a job. 0liver dowden said that sir gavin regretted the texts he sent to a colleague, and that they were not acceptable. but he insisted the prime minister had not seen the details. here's our political correspondent david wallace lockhart. gavin williamson is, of course, former defence secretary, former education secretary, was sacked by borisjohnson but he returned to government

when rishi sunak became prime minister. he is now a minister in the cabinet office. the sunday times has obtained texts he sent to a woman, wendy morton, who was then the chief whip, in charge of party management when liz truss was prime minister shortly after the queen died. in it, gavin williamson appears to be upset he is not getting any of the government's allocation to funeral tickets to go to the funeral, he accuses wendy morton of rigging that allocation. in a series of texts, he warns wendy morton not to push him about, he says there is a price for everything, there are a few we cannot quote because of the language, and wendy morton complained to the party about these texts. what is making this situation even more uncomfortable for the prime minister rishi sunak is we now know he was told gavin williamson was the subject of a complaint before he put him into government, so he made that decision afterwards.

0n the same day he said he would run his government with integrity and humility. we have heard from the chancellor of the duchy of lancaster, a cabinet position here, 0liver dowden. he has been on television this morning and is actually gavin williamson's direct boss, and this is what he had to say. these were sent in the heat of the moment at a very difficult time. gavin accepts he shouldn't have said these things and he regrets it and we should all treat each other with respect and courtesy and that was not the case. it was no secret that gavin williamson and others indeed didn't enjoy a good relationship with the chief whip at the time. it was not the case though that the prime minister saw the detail. interesting, 0liver dowden saying the prime minister was aware

of a complaint, but he didn't know the detail. we have also heard from justine greening, a former conservative politician, was a cabinet minister, sat around the cabinet table with gavin williamson, and here is what she had to say. this is the third time under the third prime minister that gavin williamson has been generating bad headlines one way or another. the texts he sent to the chief whip were unacceptable and rishi sunak doesn't have the bandwidth for this kind of negative publicity when he is building up towards a really important event on the 17th of november, the budget. it is unacceptable but it is hugely unwelcome for the government to have this as a distraction. where does this go? the line we seem to get from oliver dowden is a complaints process has begun, the government should not get involved in that, it's a conservative party process, and therefore we should wait and see.

what is really interesting and justine greening was alluding to there is we have a prime minister who wants to be talking about plans for the economy, wants to be talking about the fact he flies to egypt this evening to go to the cop27 summit and try and make progress on climate change today, but stories like these are going to dominate throughout today and it is probably not an issue he particularly wants to deal with at this moment but in terms of what is gavin williamson's future depends on what this complaints process brings about. an aeroplane has crashed into lake victoria in tanzania while attempting to land at a nearby airport. the owners of the plane say 26 people have been rescued so far. the police chief said 43 were on board, but it is not known if there were fatalities. the aircraft, which had departed from the capital, dar es salaam, crashed into lake victoria due to storms and heavy rains, according to state media. let's go straight to our

correspondent mayeni jones. what is the latest on this? the owners of _ what is the latest on this? the owners of the _ what is the latest on this? tie: owners of the aircraft have what is the latest on this? ti2 owners of the aircraft have released a statement, they say so far there have been no deaths, that 26 people have been no deaths, that 26 people have been no deaths, that 26 people have been rescued and taken to hospital for further treatment, and that the rescue operation is ongoing. they have promised to update the public of the rescue operation proceeds, and they also say that they have set up some information desks in dar es salaam information desks in dar es salaam in order to give information to any family numbers who might be looking for it. it family numbers who might be looking for it. , family numbers who might be looking forit. , , for it. it is absolutely extraordinary - for it. it is absolutely extraordinary looking for it. it is absolutely i extraordinary looking at for it. it is absolutely - extraordinary looking at the pictures, and we can see people being helped up out of the water by the rescuers, many people standing in the water. it looks like they are probably actually observing what is happening, because this happened in shallow water, and we can see the plane still operate.—

congress, are just a couple of days away, and president biden and former president obama have taken to the stage together at a campaign rally in pennsylvania. mr biden urged the cheering crowd in his home state to back the democrats' john fetterman for the senate. he said the elections would shape the country for decades to come. this isn't a referendum, this year, it's a choice, a choice between two vastly different visions of america, vastly different. maybe it's in our blood, butjohn and i believe that all... it's all about fighting for working and middle class people. the way i've said, from the beginning of my cam... my objective, when i ran for president, was to build an economy from the bottom up and the middle out. it's a fundamental shift, compared to the 0zian, mega, maga, republican trickle down economics. booing. no, really. a fair economy that gives working people a fair shot. that's on the ballot. fundamental rights are on the ballot.

truth and facts and logic and reason... applause. ..and basic decency are on the ballot. democracy itself is on the ballot. the stakes are high. speaking at a rally in pennsylvania to back the republican candidate, donald trump stressed the importance of defeating the democrats on tuesday. there's only one choice to end this madness, and it is indeed madness. if you support the decline and fall of america, then you must vote for the radical left democrats. if you want to stop the destruction of our country and save the american dream, then this tuesday, you must vote republican in a giant red wave.

the united nations human rights chief has written an open letter to elon musk, saying that human rights should be central to the management of twitter. volker turk�*s letter follows the billionaire's sacking of half of twitter�*s staff — including the entire human rights team — after he bought the company. emer mccarthy reports. the controversy surrounding elon musk�*s twitter takeover keeps growing. the united nations waded into the debate on saturday. in an open letter to musk, un high commissioner for human rights volker turk said: "like all companies, twitter needs to understand the harms associated "with its platform and take steps to address them. "respect for our shared human rights should set the guardrails "for the platform's use and evolution", adding, "i urge you to ensure human rights are central to the management "of twitter under your leadership." musk laid off half of twitter�*s 7,500 staff, including the entire human rights team.

the people that worked on this were especially proud of things they've done in ethiopia, ukraine, afghanistan and other places where there's a lot of conflict. they'd gone out of their way to protect users who were... could be targeted. journalists, human rights advocates and others. sometimes their twitter, their use of twitter, would give away their locations, other identifying details. and so their physical protection was necessary. moderation rules... musk said on friday that the apps commitment to content moderation remains unchanged. meantime, twitter has confirmed it will allow users to buy a blue tick. before musk took over, blue checkmarks next to a person's username meant twitter confirmed the account belonged to the person or company claiming it. 0nce exclusively available to high—profile individuals and companies, they'll soon cost $8 a month. the latest taste of what twitter under musk may look like. emer mccarthy, bbc news.

the cause of his death is not clear. now it's time for a look at the weather with chris fawkes. hello, there. for most of you, today is the day of sunshine and showers. the showers lasting about an hour, then the sunshine will come back out. it was a mixed picture earlier this morning, a nice sunrise, but actually there was rain coming down as vicky a braved the elements to take us at that weather watcher picture. what's going on in the big picture? yesterday's rain has mostly cleared out of the way, but the weather front that brought it is still loitering across east anglia and southeast england. lots of showers meanwhile, packing into the west of the uk, these showers moving through, giving an hour's worth of rain, then the sunshine comes back out. but the rain is likely to be heavy. whereas across southeast england and east anglia, the rain will accumulate and here 20 to 50 millimetres, bringing

the risk of some localised surface water flooding. now, the rain is going to be much more extensive across east anglia, probably stretching into lincolnshire and the east midlands through most of this afternoon. so a particularly wet spell of weather for these areas, but otherwise, lots of showers around. the winds picking up, gusts running into the 40s of miles an hour today across wales and the south west. but it's mild, temperatures double figures just about everywhere, 12 to 1a degrees your high. 0vernight tonight, those south—westerly winds continue to blow, bringing further pulses of rain up from the south west. it's going to be a mild night, by the end of the night, 1a degrees in plymouth. a bit cooler than that, though, in rural northeast scotland where, actually, you might start off with a little bit of sunshine here tomorrow morning. 0therwise, tomorrow is another unsettled looking day. south—westerly winds with us once again, bringing further pulses of rain at times, often a lot of cloud, too. and the winds will continue to strengthen with gales developing towards the southwest as we go through the afternoon. temperatures 15 or 16 degrees, the highest temperatures across southern wales, southern areas of england. but then through monday evening

it gets even windier. and i think across wales and south west england, around the coasts and hills, we could be looking at gusts of wind reaching 60 miles an hour or so. that's strong enough to bring down one or two tree branches so there could be some localised impacts the rest of the week. it stays pretty windy with low pressure continuing to fire showers or longer spells of rain at the uk. the south—westerly winds continuing to bring up very mild air indeed. so temperatures well above average thursday 16 in edinburgh, belfast, cardiff, 17 for london. but expect further showers or longer spells of rain.
