this is bbc news broadcasting to viewers in the uk and around the world. the headlines. the united nations�* annual climate change summit has begun in egypt with a warning that a year of extreme weather must be a wake—up call for the planet. we must answer the planets distress signal with action with credible climate action. downing street says the prime minister believes �*abusive�* text messages sent by the cabinet minister gavin williamson were �*unacceptable�* at least 19 people have died after a passenger plane crashed into lake victoria in tanzania while attempting to land in stormy weather. and with the us midterm elections just days away,

president biden and donald trump continue on the campaign trail, in the push to win crucial votes. the cop27 climate summit has begun in egypt with an agreement to discuss the possibility of wealthy countries handing money to poorer nations to help them cope with the impact of global warming. until now developed countries have resisted pressure to put, what's referred to as "loss and damage", on the agenda. the conference heard a warning that the past eight years have been the warmest on record. our climate editor justin rowlatt reports. cyclones ripped through madagascar earlier this year.

floods displaced more than a million people in nigeria. while rainfall was part of somalia and elsewhere in east africa even closer to famine. our planet is sending a distress signal. our planet is sending a distress siunal. , , , ., , ., signal. this is been the warmest on record making _ signal. this is been the warmest on record making every _ signal. this is been the warmest on record making every more - record making every more life—threatening especially for vulnerable populations. twice the speed of the 90s, posing an existential threat from low—lying island states and billions of people in coastal regions. representatives of more than 200 nations are attending the talks. it is essential progress is made, they were told. while i do understand the leaders of the world have faced competing priorities this year. as challenging as our current moment

is, inaction is myopic and can only defer climate catastrophe. expect heated negotiations, egypt says the rich world needs to come home on its promise in developing cut carbon and adapt to a changing climate. and help vulnerable nations but the climate related impacts that they are already experiencing. the fear is the talks could be deadlocked. the ukraine war has driven up food and energy prices worldwide and developed nations are expected to say that they do not have the cash to spare. many times he been given commitments and promises but we have not been given action and it's been kind of destroying the fraction that we have and trust in our leaders. in egypt, they would find it vivid evidence of what is at stake. the red sea is home to some

of the most magnificent and biodiverse coral wreaths in the world but coral is incredibly vulnerable to climate change. scientists say virtually all the worlds coral wreaths could be gone by the end of the century, possibly sooner and think what that means. an ecosystem that has taken hundreds of millions of years to evolve — gone forever. downing street has said the british prime minister believes expletive—laden text messages sent by the cabinet minister, sir gavin williamson are "unacceptable". a source from number ten has told the bbc that the first time rishi sunak saw the exchange between sir gavin, and the former chief whip wendy morton, was in this morning's newspapers. wendy morton's complaint is being investigated.

our political correspondent david wallace—lockhart reports. sir gavin williamson was sacked from the cabinet by boris johnson last year. rishi sunak made him a minister again this month, the very same day the prime minister promised. integrity, professionalism, and accountability. but we now know that rishi sunak was aware that sir gavin was the subject of an official complaint made by the former chief whip, wendy morton. shortly after the death of the queen, gavin williamson texted miss morton to accuse her of rigging the process for allocating spaces at her majesty's funeral to punish certain mps. he called this "absolutely disgusting". she replied, saying that was not the case. in one of a number of texts sir gavin sent featuring expletives, he warned her, "there is a price for everything". many more messages were exchanged. this morning, gavin williamson's departmental boss said sir gavin regretted the messages he sent. that's not acceptable, he shouldn't have said it, he has said he regrets doing so.

what is the consequence for him? he has given some context that this was at the time of heightened frustration, it was, remember him as a backbencher to the chief whip. so if you're in a bad mood it's ok to talk like that to a colleague? this is not acceptable. however, there is this complaints process ongoing and it was not the case that the prime minister had seen this exchange. but a former cabinet colleague of gavin williamson suggested the prime minister doesn't have time for these kind of scandals. the texts he sent to the chief whip were unacceptable and i think rishi sunak doesn't have the bandwidth for this kind of negative publicity. labour are questioning the prime minister's judgment. what it says is that rishi sunak was making decisions simply in his own narrow short—term interest as far as the conservative party leadership was concerned, not the national interest. rishi sunak had already faced criticism for reappointing

suella braverman as home secretary, shortly after she sent official documents from her personal e—mail. today's revelation prompt more questions about the team the prime minister has assembled. nineteen people have been killed after a passenger plane crashed into lake victoria in tanzania while attempting to land in stormy weather. the aircraft had taken off from the capital dar es—salaam. the authorities say they did manage to rescue 26 people, who have been taken to hospital. emergency workers had to use small boats to reach the passengers. our correspondent mayeni jones has the latest on the sudden increase in the number of deaths confirmed by authorities. details confirmed by authorities. are still emerging as to exactly details are still emerging as to exactly what's behind this dramatic increase in the number of casualties during the crash over the precision aircraft in tanzania. the prime minister visited the scene, spoke to journalist, he confirmed the increased doctoral but he didn't

explain whether it was due to the fact that some of the people rescued and taken to hospital may have passed away or perhaps people who were left in the aircraft died. he did indicate that perhaps two of the pilots who had been speaking to rescue workers might be among the he also said a thorough investigation would be carried out to find out exactly what caused the crash for the earlier in the day authorities had said they thought was due to bad weather, an eyewitness book to local media describes seeing the aircraft trying to land at the airport and missing and having to land on the water. authorities to say they will carry out a full investigation to find out exactly what has happened for them in the meantime, precision air say they will help wherever they can, they've set up information desks to help relatives who are trying to find out what's happened to their loved ones, to provide information and clarity. it's tanzania is largest airline, it's

been operational since 1993. it is partly owned by kenya airways and i think it is keen to find out what exactly has happened and to ensure that this doesn't happen again. in the meantime, there's been reaction from the president, she sent condolences and any further assistance she can give as well as the african union and the head of the african union and the head of the east african block. the crucial us midterm elections, which will decide who controls congress, are just a couple of days away. president biden and former president obama have taken to the stage together at a campaign rally in pennsylvania. let's speak to our north america correspondent nada twafik who is in miami. where donald trump is going to be speaking soon. we see posters behind you, tell us what's happening there. after campaigning yesterday and pennsylvania, in one of the height raises their president charles is

now here in miami. florida is considered ace safe scene. this midterm election not only in the governors race but in the senate we can see republicans win pretty big care. nevertheless, donald trump wanted to come to rally his base, rally his supporters for them to get out and vote. republicans want to seize on the success here in florida, looking to the presidential race in 2024 to show that florida once one of the most important swing states is now moving firmly into the red column, the republican red column. we will hear from red column, the republican red column. we will hearfrom president donald trump. i can already tell you, i've seen so many people here wearing trump 2024 hats. and speaking to voters here they have just as much enthusiasm for the former president. it will be interesting to see if he does announce, he has hinted strongly that he will announce that he will run in 2024. just how much that will

greenhouse—gas emissions, mostly because of gas—boiler heating systems and poor insulation. in fact, the uk has some of the least energy—efficient homes in europe, and installations of insulation are too slow, according to the climate change committee. they also say that emissions from agriculture need to be cut by 30% between by 2035, which would require eating 20% less meat and dairy, and massively cutting down on food waste. and finally, hydrogen — which is a low—carbon fuel that could be used for transport, heating and power generation. the government wants to have a capacity of five gigawatt of hydrogen production by 2030, but admits that a rapid and significant scale up is needed. with me now is ani dasgupta, the president and ceo of world resources institute and professor michaeljacobs, a former climate adviser to former uk prime minister gordon brown who has been attending cop as a participant and observer for the past 15 years.

ifi if i can start with you, how optimistic are you that this cop will achieve what is hoping to? i will achieve what is hoping to? i think today was the first day as far as we can see was a good start on all the topics of loss and damage, that's been the topic for of 30 years, poorer countries asking richer countries for funds to cover loss and damage. things that can be adapted to sea level rise of a land that you can't grow crops on or houses that have been flooded away. today was the first step of the process without the idea was that will be included in the formal negotiation agenda, which is a big positive step. that is not the end of it. two other steps that need to be taken, the details on that in

which first would be what mechanism would be chosen to actually get funds fastest to the people needed. and the deadline, when this design for the very first day it was good and positive but lots more to come in the next two weeks.— in the next two weeks. professor michaeljacobs, _ in the next two weeks. professor michaeljacobs, your _ in the next two weeks. professor michaeljacobs, your take - in the next two weeks. professor michaeljacobs, your take on - in the next two weeks. professor| michaeljacobs, your take on how in the next two weeks. professor. michaeljacobs, your take on how it is starting and whole hopeful are you? is starting and whole hopeful are ou? �* , . is starting and whole hopeful are ou? �*, ., , , . you? it's a very difficult conference _ you? it's a very difficult conference for - you? it's a very difficult conference for that - you? it's a very difficult conference for that last| you? it's a very difficult - conference for that last year at you? it's a very difficult _ conference for that last year at cop 26 and _ conference for that last year at cop 26 and glascow countries acknowledge that they _ 26 and glascow countries acknowledge that they were not doing enough to cut emissions globally. many countries that brought forward new commitments of their own but when they were _ commitments of their own but when they were added up collectively they didh't_ they were added up collectively they didn't add _ they were added up collectively they didn't add up to anything like what the scientists tell us is necessary to halt _ the scientists tell us is necessary to halt global warming at around one and a _ to halt global warming at around one and a half— to halt global warming at around one and a half degrees centigrade above preindustrial levels. that huge global— preindustrial levels. that huge global failure to do what is needed to stop _ global failure to do what is needed to stop the worst ravages of climate change _ to stop the worst ravages of climate change was dealt with last year by

that is a fact. the climate change has been — that is a fact. the climate change has been declared by british parliament as an emergency for that we have _ parliament as an emergency for that we have it _ parliament as an emergency for that we have it reactive if stiff it were an emergency. you're quite right, governments are saying at cop we haven't — governments are saying at cop we haven't got enough money to help developing countries, which we promised — developing countries, which we promised to do a long time ago and we have _ promised to do a long time ago and we have hot— promised to do a long time ago and we have not committed, not properly raise enough money for that. yet when _ raise enough money for that. yet when the — raise enough money for that. yet when the ukraine crisis hit defence spending _ when the ukraine crisis hit defence spending was on limited. the western countries _ spending was on limited. the western countries are supporting ukraine, rightly. _ countries are supporting ukraine, rightly, with unlimited sources of money— rightly, with unlimited sources of money and treasuries and not say we haven't— money and treasuries and not say we haven't got— money and treasuries and not say we haven't got the money. but we don't do that— haven't got the money. but we don't do that for— haven't got the money. but we don't do that for climate change. it's partly— do that for climate change. it's partly because climate change is a continuous — partly because climate change is a continuous issue, it's not a crisis which _ continuous issue, it's not a crisis which emerges on a particular day or month _ which emerges on a particular day or month but — which emerges on a particular day or month. but it does indicate that politicians are not taking this seriously. young people who have seen _ seriously. young people who have seeniust— seriously. young people who have seen just how bad seriously. young people who have seenjust how bad this is going to be want _ seenjust how bad this is going to be want politicians to do that. the

whole be want politicians to do that. iie: whole question be want politicians to do that. tie: whole question of the way it's being framed, which countries are given to poor countries is extremely simplistic. obviously countries have developed and there is a cost to the climate as a result in the poor relation to say, well, we're not prepared to hold back our growth in the same way. of course poor populations are already suffering more acutely. do you have any faith really that the money is going to be delivered where it is most urgently needed? i delivered where it is most urgently needed? ~ ., , ., delivered where it is most urgently needed? ~ ., , needed? i think money has to be delivered- _ needed? i think money has to be delivered. the _ needed? i think money has to be delivered. the 3.3 _ needed? i think money has to be delivered. the 3.3 billion - needed? i think money has to be delivered. the 3.3 billion people| delivered. the 3.3 billion people affected by climate change right now as we speak. for most people it is not the climate happening all over the world it's the poor countries, the world it's the poor countries, the more vulnerable people impacted by it. there is discussion to finance is absolutely imperative to be solved. michael is absolutely right, when we had the pandemic it's notjust a ukraine crisis we had the pandemic rich countries work

together more than $15 trillion to protect economies from the ravages of the pandemic. when crisis happen, you talk about the vaccine and a year, unprecedented, governments and businesses work together to bring out the vaccine. similar kind of passion, similar kind of a crisis mode needs to happen. the money has to come because the impacts, this was a bumper year, so to speak of climate —related disasters across the world put ipcc reports is by the end of this decade that caused will, just physical impact will be more than half $1 trillion with up and half $1 trillion today is more than all the transfer that takes place on development aid in mdb. so the scale of the crisis is going to be soon beyond management. ithink of the crisis is going to be soon beyond management. i think the money has to conflict of it doesn't seem to me that finances will be sorted out at this cop. i do feel

ambulance staff at the gmb, have voted for walk—outs. though they have called for talks with members. gmb members have voted to reject that pay offer, so we are currently making plans for over 4,000 gmb members working in all roles across the nhs and the ambulance service to take action, possibly this side of christmas. so what we are doing is urging the cabinet minister to come back to the table with a vastly improved offer. 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 their members. detailed results of the voting, including turnout, will be formally announced within days. there have been a series of ballots among the rcn's 300,000 members at individual work places. the general secretary pat cullen said the signs are that across the uk members have spoken very clearly in favour of strike action.

the rcn said any strikes would affect planned nhs treatment and appointments, but not emergency care. in england and wales, there have been pay awards of £1,400 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 said the recommendations of the independent pay review body have been followed, and unions should think hard before taking action, which might affect patients. protestors have gathered outside the former manston airbase today. angry about the conditions migrants are being held in. around 200 people joined the protest, despite torrential rain . calling for the migrant processing centre to be shut down. louisa pilbeam reports. shut madsen's down quick snack the message was loud demanding the
