up welcome to viewers in the uk and around the world. 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 another year of rainfall pushed parts of somalia and elsewhere in east africa even closer to famine. our planet is sending

a distress signal. our planet is sending a distress signal, the un conference in egypt was warned. the last 80 years have been warmest on record, making each wave were life especially for vulnerable populations. sea levels are rising at twice the level of the 90s, posing an existential threat for low—lying island states and threatening millions of people in coastal regions. representatives of more than 200 nations are attending the talks. it is essential progress is made, they were told. whilst i do understand that leaders around the world have faced competing priorities this year, we must be clear — as challenging as our current moment is, inaction is myopic and can only defer climate catastrophe. but expect heated negotiations. egypt says the rich world needs to come good on its promises of cash to help developing countries cut carbon and adapt to our changing climate. and there will be demands for money to help vulnerable nations with the climate—related impacts

they are already experiencing. the fear is that the talks could be deadlocked. the ukraine war has driven up food and energy prices worldwide. developed nations are expected to say they don't have the cash to spare. many times, we have been given commitments and promises, but we haven't been given action, and of course, a promise that is broken, it kind of destroys the trust that we have in our leaders. you don't have to go far from the coast here in egypt to find vivid evidence of what's at stake.

what the boosted by recent by—election wins, he came to rally liberal democrats i'm joined now by the former minister of state for energy and climate change and now conservative peer baron greg barker. this commitment by wealthier countries to help poorer nations, is that something that you support, and how much should be on the table? it's very important that this so—called loss and damage provision is actually acted on by developed nations, and the uk can be proud, actually, of the role it has played to date in encouraging others to come forward. but of course, the

amounts that government put into action on climate change is just part of the whole picture. what's really important is that we also get private sector funding, really important is that we also get private sectorfunding, private private sector funding, private money, private sectorfunding, private money, flowing into other parts of the world so that we can replicate the world so that we can replicate the success we've had, for example, in the uk, in building up renewable energy elsewhere, in places like africa and other developing economies. so this is very good, but it mustn't be seen as a substitute for other action and other investment.— for other action and other investment. �* ., ., ~ , , ., investment. but on that key question that e: -t investment. but on that key question that egypt is — investment. but on that key question that egypt is wanting _ investment. but on that key question that egypt is wanting to _ investment. but on that key question that egypt is wanting to focus - investment. but on that key question that egypt is wanting to focus on, - that egypt is wanting to focus on, for understandable reasons, there has been a reluctance, hasn't there, by richer nations to pay for the damage they have caused in their development process, and it is the poorer populations that are very, very vulnerable?— poorer populations that are very, ve vulnerable? ~ , ,., , , very vulnerable? absolutely, we must not for: et very vulnerable? absolutely, we must not forget that- _ not forget that. how far do you think we need to make

progress on this? is it possible to put a number on how much needs to be paid and with what urgency? i think we need to find a number around which everyone is going to coalesce, but we can make progress. we must make progress at cop27 on this, but we must notjust see this in isolation. there are lots of other things that can be done and should be done in order to fight climate change, but also to help many countries in africa in particular that are already dealing with calamitous impacts of climate, to help them adapt their economies and populations to be able to deal with these tremendous climate impacts that they are already seeing and that are only going to get worse. so i think if we break it down into practical actions, what are the things that the private sector can't pay for, that private investment won't mobilise behind? what are those things that we really need to help developing economies with? and then work out what are the

things that the private sector can do, like renewable energy, for example, and allow them to do that on their own. so i hope there will be some practical outcomes as well as just being rhetoric at cop27, and that means progress on both sides. do you think rishi sunak is committed to this as much as he should be, this whole agenda? [30 committed to this as much as he should be, this whole agenda? do you know, i should be, this whole agenda? do you know. i have — should be, this whole agenda? do you know, i have been _ should be, this whole agenda? do you know, i have been really _ should be, this whole agenda? do you know, i have been really impressed. l know, i have been really impressed. i don't know rishi very well,, but i admire how he is going to go to cop27 despite everything on his plate at home... well, he wasn't initially, but he made a u—turn, didn't t? i think he made the right decision, but having mastered the brief, he made the decision to go, so i think that sending a very important message above all else, so i'm glad to see he is going, and i do think it takes it seriously. the uk needs to realise we can have a vital important role globally and being a

leader in climate. we have been that to date and we need to make sure that carries forward into the future. i mean, lots of people would question whether the conservative government after 12 years have done enough. i know you personally were involved, butjust to check, i think you have also worked in the oil industry also. do you have any regrets about working about sector? know, that was over 20 years ago, and i was one of the first people in our sector to start talking about the climate, and the science has evolved massively since then. i was very proud to push while i was in parliament for the climate change act back in 2008, and i was actively involved in tightening the provisions on that. the whole world has been on a journey, so i don't think we want to be looking back, because as i said at the top of your programme, the important thing is we focus on what we can do in the future, and the uk has a leadership role. we can be very proud of the

progress we've made it home over the last two decades under both labour and conservative governments, and we got to make sure that we continue that leadership role in the future, that leadership role in the future, that we share that with other parts of the world. thank you very much for your time. the crucial us midterm elections, which will decide who controls congress, arejust a couple of days away. presidentjoe biden is out on the campaign trail again today, this time in new york state in support of the democrat governor there. and we'll be hearing from the former president and republican donald trump, who is in miami, florida, in the next hour or so. and we can head to miami now and speak with our north america correspondent nada tawfik. just bring us up to date with what is happening there.— is happening there. yes, well, president _ is happening there. yes, well, president trump _ is happening there. yes, well, president trump will - is happening there. yes, well, president trump will be - is happening there. yes, well, i president trump will be speaking about an hour's time. we've already heard from his son donald trump about an hour's time. we've already heard from his son donald trumer, and the incumbent of marco rubio who is running for the senate in this

mid—term election. what i can tell you is that on the stage, they have really presented this as a battle to save america, again pushing for the selection of the very different visions of america. we have had topics come up like the border, like crime. again, republicans hitting the economy and the inflation that we've seen, and just speaking to voters, they are certainly fired up, hoping for republicans to take back control of the us congress here, but many of them are also talking about a trump 2024 bit. many showing enthusiasm for the possibility that president trump, in the coming days, could announce that he is running again, and speaking to them, it is clear they believe he can still win. president trump has not gone away, like former presidents, choosing to stay very involved in politics, they believe he still commands a lot of attention at these rallies. you can

see people turning out to hear him speak, but also a lot of control over the direction of the parties. so we will be hearing from president trump, speaking soon as he tries to rally voters here, and i think we will also hear president trump in the coming days, if republicans do well, try to take credit for some of florida's move from a swing state to more of a red state in the republican column. roof we have obviously heard president 0bama and president biden out campaigning too, highlighting their worry that this is about democracy being on the ballot, concerns about whether if republicans lose in certain races, they will accept that defeat. how polarised does it feel there when you are speaking to people? we can see them behind you now. yes. you are speaking to people? we can see them behind you now.— you are speaking to people? we can see them behind you now. yes, i have actually asked — see them behind you now. yes, i have actually asked this _ see them behind you now. yes, i have actually asked this of _ see them behind you now. yes, i have actually asked this of several - actually asked this of several voters here, because right in front of me, there is a truck with a big

flag flying that says "trump one". and comedy is a president trump's most loyal supporters that i hear, and even those who do not believe that the election was stolen as the former president has falsely stated numerous times now, they have stated to me that they would believe there was fraud or mishaps in the election. so you can see just how dangerous that type of rhetoric is. you have some people here now doubting the very essence of american democracy, the vote in 2020, and so i certainly think that will be an issue in the coming years. for his supporters, a something they certainly are happy to hear the president talk about, because they believe, as they had told me here, speaking to them, that the election was also stolen from them, because they voted for president trump, so very much a live issue. it is fascinating. we will be back to you in the coming hours. thanks

very much, nada in miami. downing street says the prime minister believes text messages sent by sir gavin williamson to the conservative mp wendy morton are "unacceptable". a formal complaint and investigation were already under way before the expletive—laden exchanges were published in today's sunday times. until this afternoon, rishi sunak said he was aware of the complaint when he appointed sir gavin as a minister, but not the content of the messages. here's our political correspondent iain watson. last month, a new prime minister promised a new approach and gave a full pledge. this promised a new approach and gave a full ledue. , ., full pledge. this government will have integrity. — full pledge. this government will have integrity, professionalism, | full pledge. this government will. have integrity, professionalism, and accountability at every level. on the same day, he brought his ally 0n the same day, he brought his ally sir gavin williamson back into government. we now know, 24—hour daily, rishi sunak had been told that a potentially serious complaint
