this is bbc news. i'm lukwesa burak. the headlines at nine. world leaders arrive at the cop climate summit in egypt, amid warnings from the un that the past eight years are on track to be the warmest on record. the prime minister will call for a global mission for newjobs and clean growth, when he addresses leaders at the summit later today. the prime minister today announcing £65 million of funding to make sure that energy can be produced elsewhere in the world, anyway which is sustainable. it comes amid a growing political row back in westminster —

over text messages sent by sir gavin williamson. downing street says the pm believes the expletive—laden messages are "unacceptable". president zelensky says russia is planning more air strikes on ukraine's vital infrastructure —— as a new report warns ukraine is in danger of running out of air defence weapons. the number of children needing speech and language support at school has risen by 10% in england over the past year, partly due to covid lockdowns limiting social interactions. world leaders are addressing the cop27 summit in egypt today, as they try to rally global support for tackling climate change. rishi sunak, who previously said he wouldn't be attending,

is making his first outing as pm on the international stage. he'll unveil funding to protect forests and develop green technology, while calling for what he's described as �*clean growth�*. talks this year will focus on three things. first — the implementation of what's known as the paris agreement. in 2015, countries agreed to try to limit global temperature rises to one—point five degrees celsius. second, action on loss and damage, that's developed nations finding ways to compensate and assist developing nations, following decades of environmental damage. and thirdly, there's a promise to be more transparent about the process. rich countries will also outline how they plan to reduce their carbon emissions with countries most affected by rising temperatures describing how climate change is impacting them.

the bbc�*s climate editor justin rowlatt reports from sharm el sheikh. you don't have to go far from the coast in egypt to find vivid evidence of what's at stake. the red sea is home to some of the most magnificent and biodiverse coral reefs in the world. but coral is incredibly vulnerable to climate change. scientists say virtually all the world's coral reefs could be gone by the end of the century, possibly sooner now. think what that means. an ecosystem that's taken hundreds of millions of years to evolve, gone forever. rishi sunak arrived in egypt last night. these talks are reckoned to be the world's best hope of tackling climate change.

the british prime minister will be announcing millions of pounds of funding for clean energy and forest protection today. he'll say the uk is steadfast in its support of countries on the front line of climate change. it's been another year of climate—related extreme weather. terrible floods left a third of pakistan underwater, for example. another year of drought pushed a0 million people in east africa closer to famine. developing nations are demanding not just millions, but hundreds of billions of pounds of assistance from the rich world. nicola sturgeon, the scottish first minister, will also be in egypt today. she played a key role in the last un climate talks in glasgow and says it is time rich countries coughed up the cash they promised to help the developing world rise to the climate challenge. one bit of good news though. the egyptian reefs are particularly

resistant to marine heating, according to local scientists. the negotiators here will need to summon similar reserves of resilience if progress is going to be made at the conference. justin rowlatt, bbc news, sharm el—sheikh, egypt. the prime minister rishi sunak intially declined his invitation to the climate conference, saying he was too busy with the uk economy — but reversed this decision last week. the business secretary grant shapps says that mr sunak is now able to attend cop27 because of the amount of work that has been completed on the autumn budget. his number one priority is making sure that, you know, everything is stabilised and getting ready for the autumn statement which takes place on the 17th of the month. he got that work done and then was able to confirm his attendance at cop, which is where he is at this moment. there is obviously a lot more to do and that is what is being discussed this week and next in egypt.

i will be joining those discussions, but the prime minister today announcing £65 million of funding to make sure that energy can be produced elsewhere in the world in a way which is sustainable. let's talk now to sir david king, who served as the government's permanent special representative for climate change bewteen 2013 and 2017. good morning. iwould good morning. i would like to start off with how important it is that the prime minister attends copper 27. i the prime minister attends copper 27. 4' the prime minister attends copper 27. ~ , . , 27. i think it is critically important _ 27. i think it is critically important that - 27. i think it is critically important that all- 27. i think it is critically| important that all major 27. i think it is critically _ important that all major governments attend these cop27 meetings. let me quote as i may promote antonio guterres has said in opening the whole thing, he said there is no way we can avoid a catastrophic situation if the developed and developing world are not able to

establish a historical fact, developing world are not able to establish a historicalfact, because at the present level we will be doomed. i don't think that is an overstatement, i think the climate science is rate paid what he's saying, if we want a manageable future for humanity, we must see that we all pull together to create that we all pull together to create that manageable future —— historical pact. that manageable future -- historical act. ~ . that manageable future -- historical act, . ., ., ,., that manageable future -- historical pact. what does a historical pact look like in _ pact. what does a historical pact look like in your _ pact. what does a historical pact look like in your view? _ pact. what does a historical pact look like in your view? the - look like in your view? the historical _ look like in your view? the historical pact _ look like in your view? the historical pact would - look like in your view? tie: historical pact would be to ratify the agreement made back in 2010, first of all, $100 billion a year was promised then to go from the developed to the developing world to help them to manage the impacts of climate change, and also to help them to switch across to nonfossil fuel technology. so far, to date, the highest level that has come through is 21 billion, so we have failed on that dramatically, and

that the last cop, this failure became a big part of what was the loss of trust between the developed countries and developing countries. secondly, the developing countries need the assistance of the developed world, yes, but the developed world needs to lead the way on deep and rapid emissions reduction. at the moment we are way behind where we ought to be, not one country is doing nearly enough. the climate crisis advisory group that a chair is producing four country reports on the key countries in the debate at the key countries in the debate at the moment. and not one of those countries is doing nearly enough. so i think the point i'm making is if we want a manageable future for humanity, which surely we do, we need to understand the nature of the

crisis we are in. we need to understand the nature of the crisis we are in.— crisis we are in. we will get to that any moment. _ crisis we are in. we will get to that any moment. first - crisis we are in. we will get to that any moment. first up, i l crisis we are in. we will get to - that any moment. first up, i wonder if i could go back one stage. why are we not doing enough? we if i could go back one stage. why are we not doing enough? we are not doinu are we not doing enough? we are not doing enough — are we not doing enough? we are not doing enough for— are we not doing enough? we are not doing enough for various _ are we not doing enough? we are not doing enough for various reasons. - doing enough for various reasons. one is we have failed to have, since 1992, leadership from the united states. the united states is normally the country we would all turn to for leadership on an issue like this. why has the united states filled the world? the power of the fossil fuel lobby. filled the world? the power of the fossilfuel lobby. it is filled the world? the power of the fossil fuel lobby. it is as simple as that. we all know how powerful the lobby systems are in the us democratic system, the gun lobby and so on, and the most powerful lobby of all is the fossil fuel lobby, and senators and congressmen are virtually and in reality in the pockets of these lobbies. so i think we have failed to get that sort of leadership, britain provided leadership, britain provided

leadership under tony blair and gordon brown, very open leadership from 1997-2010, gordon brown, very open leadership from 1997—2010, and subsequently under david cameron and theresa may we continued the good work that was begun but since then we have been serving back and we're talking now about the absurdity of opening up new oil and gas wells in the north sea, absurd because this does nothing, has nothing to the crisis in ukraine. it would take at least ten years before any new oil or gas reach the marketplace, and therefore, since the war in ukraine are sure to be over by then, we will be left saddled with an investment that will not produce results. so i think what we see is this sudden return to looking for more coal, oil and gas, and around the world, not just britain.

and gas, and around the world, not just iwithin-— just britain. excuse me ifi come across as _ just britain. excuse me ifi come across as rude. _ just britain. excuse me ifi come across as rude, but _ just britain. excuse me ifi come across as rude, but we - just britain. excuse me ifi come across as rude, but we seem - just britain. excuse me ifi come across as rude, but we seem to | just britain. excuse me if i come l across as rude, but we seem to be hearing the same thing over and over again. and there doesn't seem to be any real progress. i’m again. and there doesn't seem to be any real progress-— any real progress. i'm afraid you're riaht, any real progress. i'm afraid you're right. you're _ any real progress. i'm afraid you're right. you're not — any real progress. i'm afraid you're right, you're not being _ any real progress. i'm afraid you're right, you're not being rude - any real progress. i'm afraid you're right, you're not being rude at - any real progress. i'm afraid you're right, you're not being rude at all. right, you're not being rude at all and norris get we have failed to respond. let's remember, since 1992 we've been discussing at court meetings, progress on managing this climate change disaster. at first it wasn't a disaster and if we had operated quickly and got in place everything we needed to buy 2000, we would not be in the streets we are in now. so 2015 we finally reached an agreement in paris, in that agreement said we must stay below 1.5 degrees above the preindustrial level, as you were saying, but what are the chances of that today? we

are the chances of that today? we are now over 1.3 celsius above the preindustrial level, and we are rapidly approaching the 1.5. and the reason is, emissions are still increasing year—on—year, so not enough countries are taking it seriously and we are lacking political leadership on the issue. sir david, let's very quickly touch in what used to be referred to as reparations but now we see a loss and damage. is that realistic moving forward chris mack developed nations afford it? the forward chris mack developed nations afford it? , ., afford it? the question can developed _ afford it? the question can developed nations - afford it? the question can developed nations afford i afford it? the question can. developed nations afford it? afford it? the question can - developed nations afford it? good developed nations afford it? good developed nations afford to fight off the covid outbreak? i think we spent about $13 trillion in doing that. there is money in the system and the question is how do we release that money so that it can be used in the right way? should we deal with loss and damage in developing countries? should we help

island states that are getting swept over by the oceans? should we help those countries that cannot help themselves and that did not cause themselves and that did not cause the problem? the whole of africa is producing about 4% of global carbon dioxide emissions today, and yet africa is suffering from these terrible impacts of climate change. pakistan, as you mention, all around the world extreme weather events are impacting on us. we know from our loss of damage because that is paid for by the insurance and reinsurance industry that we are talking about quite possibly half $1 trillion over the last three years, big sums of money. so, yes, we need to invest large sums of money to manage the problem. loss and damage in the developing world, due to our actions in the past and today, means our responsibility is to help those countries. and, yes, for example,

britain is the sixth wealthiest country in the world. to me it seems absurd to talk about is not being able to afford these things. thank you forjoining us here. the question is, as sir david said, how do you release the money? i will show you some live pictures as i tell you more about where you can get information.— get information. beautiful blue skies. antonio _ get information. beautiful blue skies. antonio guterres - get information. beautiful bluej skies. antonio guterres they're having his picture taken with the egyptian leader, but essentially you can follow all the latest developments on the cop27 negotiations taking place in egypt's via our live page at bbc forest news. further leaders arriving at that all—important summit, referred

to as africa's summit, the one to many divorcing africa and in particular developing nations, africa of course 5a countries, can actually move forward and get something out of the fight against climate change. a cabinet minister has confirmed that the prime minister knew a complaint for harassment and bullying had been filed against a tory mp before he was given a ministerial position. 0liver dowden says sir gavin williamson knows he should not have sent expletive laden texts to a colleague and regrets it. 0pposition parties have called for an independent investigation. speaking earlier on bbc breakfast, the business secretary grant shapps says it was �*not right�* to send a series of angry texts to a colleague, i thought they were deeply

inappropriate and i could see they were written, i imagine, in a moment of frustration. but it is a reminder never to send these messages in haste because you will end up having to repent at leisure and they are not messages anybody should send to anyone else and certainly not a colleague. he has apologised, which is right and there is a process going on where that whole incident is being reviewed right now as well. mr shapps was also asked about the situation at the manston migrant centre in kent — he said there were concerns it was tipping into becoming a detention centre when he briefly took over as home secretary after suella braverman was asked to resign by liz truss. certainly, the concern was that we would be in a position where people were unintentionally being detained, which would not be legal. so i wanted to make sure we remained within the law or at least showed that we were trying to rectify the situation.

the advice i had was very, very clear on that. the home secretary obviously agrees, because she has continued to follow the same policy that i put in place. let's talk to our political correspondent nick eardley. considering that back to his city is all about indignity, further questions —— rishi sunak. if all about indignity, further questions -- rishi sunak. if we take gavin williamson _ questions -- rishi sunak. if we take gavin williamson first, _ questions -- rishi sunak. if we take gavin williamson first, the - questions -- rishi sunak. if we take gavin williamson first, the prime i gavin williamson first, the prime ministers told the sun newspaper overnight that some of the messages mr williamson sent to the chief whip a few weeks ago were inappropriate, the rishi sunak said he had not seen them before he gave gavin williamson a job that means he attends cabinet, but i think there are those questions about whether rishi sunak

should have done more to act on warnings he was given, so we are told that rishi sunak was warned before mr williamson was given a job that there was a complaint against him. he was still given thatjob. just a recap very briefly on what this is all about. gavin williamson, messages emerged over the weekend of gavin williamson texting wendy martin, who was in charge of party discipline, saying that he was unhappy at the way seats had been dished out for the queen's funeral, there was a lot of swear words in there, a lot of anger from there was a lot of swear words in there, a lot of angerfrom mr williamson, some people think there were some implicit threats when he said there was a price for everything that miss martin was doing, and there have been those questions over whether that was appropriate conduct, clearly a lot of people think that that was not appropriate, and the question the prime minister is now facing is whether he should have acted on

those warnings he was given about mr williamson's conduct, and if you add into the mix what we've heard about the reappointment of the home secretary, given her e—mail use, the use of private e—mail accounts to send official government business and those questions about whether she did enough to make sure the government was complying with the law when it came to rehousing asylum seekers and migrants, it does just add up to this picture which is pretty uncomfortable for the prime minister about whether he has made the correctjudgments when putting his cabinet together. what the correctjudgments when putting his cabinet together.— his cabinet together. what is actually being _ his cabinet together. what is actually being done - his cabinet together. what is actually being done about i his cabinet together. what is| actually being done about the allegations, are they being investigated? many people say if they are, and whatever the outcome is, the big question is will he be removed?— is, the big question is will he be removed? ., , removed? the government has said this morning — removed? the government has said this morning that _ removed? the government has said this morning that it _ removed? the government has said this morning that it is _ removed? the government has said this morning that it is letting - removed? the government has said this morning that it is letting the i this morning that it is letting the process play out before it makes decisions. i'm not totally sure what

that means, it is my understanding is that gavin williamson has not been alerted to any official investigation from the conservative party, it seems that any probe they are doing is at a fairly early stage at the moment, so there are still those questions and i think rishi sunak will face them in every does an interview, but whether action should be taken against gavin williamson. let's see what he says on that when he is asked. when it comes to the home secretary as well, that clip you played it a few minutes ago of grant shapps potentially opens up a fresh can of worms for suella braverman because remember she stood up in parliament last week and said she did nothing to stop people being moved to hotels from asylum processing centres, that she had done nothing to block people being moved into more appropriate accommodation. what grant shapps has said in that clip that you just played on bbc breakfast was that when he came into thejob

played on bbc breakfast was that when he came into the job there was clear concern that the government wasn't complying with its legal duties, that he acted right away because he was given very clear advice the government needed to. the implicit accusation there is that his predecessor and successor as home secretary, suella braverman, didn't take all the action which she could have to put people into safe accommodation and make sure that the government was complying the law. both on gavin williamson and suella braverman, i think you will hear more questions asked of the prime minister. russian attacks are leaving millions of ukrainians without electricity and water at times. now a new report is warning that ukraine is in danger of running out of air defence weapons to stave off russian missile attacks. the report by the royal united services institute says russia could try to repeat its devastating bombing campaign that reduced syrian cities to rubble — unless western nations send more supplies.

0ur security correspondent, frank gardnerjoins us live with the latest. i wonder if you could tell us a little bit more.— little bit more. the report's authors have _ little bit more. the report's authors have spent - little bit more. the report's authors have spent some . little bit more. the report's i authors have spent some time in ukraine talking to intelligence officials, air defence operators and examining the wreckage of russian missiles and sort of bomb damage on the conclusion they have reached is that the only reason that russia has held back from the kind of even more devastating air campaign that it had in syria is that ukrainian air defence systems have been able to hold them off, but it is running out of those, because fairly early on in the war russia sent a huge number, well over 300 advanced fighterjets

well over 300 advanced fighter jets to well over 300 advanced fighterjets to try and dominate ukraine's skies, to try and dominate ukraine's skies, to achieve what this cold air supremacy. he wasn't able to do that because ukrainian weapons were able to shut down a lot of them, as well as some very brave ukrainian pilots, but you came's supplies are dwindling, because in the last few weeks they've been coming under sustained bombardment from russian ballistic cruise missiles and drones. these drones that loiter above a target and basically propel themselves into it, pull themselves up themselves into it, pull themselves up and ukraine cannot sustain this for that much longer, so the report as saying that it is really quite urgent for western backers, countries like britain, the united states, even germany and so on, to resupply ukraine with the means to defend itself, otherwise it's going to face potentially the same fate that syria has where entire areas of cities like aleppo are simply

flattened by russian bombing because there is nothing to stop russian aircraft taking to the air. [30 there is nothing to stop russian aircraft taking to the air.- aircraft taking to the air. do we know of supplies _ aircraft taking to the air. do we know of supplies from - aircraft taking to the air. do we know of supplies from the i aircraft taking to the air. do we | know of supplies from the allies aircraft taking to the air. do we i know of supplies from the allies are on route? it does take a while for these things to work through. it these things to work through. tit does on part of the problem is ukraine, is a former member of the soviet union, is systems are very much the eastern bloc systems, so it's fighter jets, much the eastern bloc systems, so it's fighterjets, for example, its air defence systems are russian designed s 300 is an essay 11 is, so what it's gradually doing is transitioning to western nato systems, but that mean straining people up in the west in western nations, places like britain, but it takes time. you've got the logistical problems of during the war, shipping those people out of ukraine to the west to get trained up ukraine to the west to get trained up and getting the weapons into ukraine without the convoys getting hit by russian missiles. so it is

quite a major challenge, and with winter now almost upon ukraine, it is even harder, because the battles have slowed down because of rain that makes the ground saw gay, that means russia is turning its attention to hitting as much of ukraine's infrastructure as it can, for not submitting essentially, and what the kremlin is planning ultimately is two things, underlining the us reliance, but basically trying to cut off ukraine's supply of weapons, the kind of thing this report suggesting should not happen, so demoralising the ukrainian population that they sue for peace on russia's terms. i wonder if he can give us an idea of territory russia have gained or lost up territory russia have gained or lost up until this point.— up until this point. things have not moved that — up until this point. things have not moved that much, _ up until this point. things have not moved that much, taken _ up until this point. things have not moved that much, taken just i up until this point. things have not| moved that much, taken just under up until this point. things have not i moved that much, taken just under a fifth of ukraine's territory, ukraine able to seize back quite a

more than 200 cases have been confirmed since october last year — and about five—and—a—half million birds have died or been culled. the restrictions are aimed at preventing house birds from interacting with wild birds, but the risk to people from the virus is said to be very low. commuters who want to travel by train this morning have been urged to check if their services are running, after a planned strike was called off. the majority of rail operators say that because the walk—out was cancelled so late, they will still be running a reduced timetable. some services on wednesday are also likely to be disrupted. us political leaders have been hitting the campaign trail in the final hours before crucial midterm elections. the polls will determine

who controls congress for the next two years, and they'll almost certainly set the agenda for the next presidential contest in 202a. donald trump and joe biden have both been lending their weight to their chosen candidates' rallies over the weekend. 0ur north america correspondent nada tawfik reports from the trump rally in miami. drain the swamp! donald trump's name may not be on the ballot this election, but his agenda sure is. with the stage set for a republican sweep in florida, the former president sought to energise the crowd of his supporters in miami, and to urge them to vote to repudiate democrats' policies. if you want to stop the destruction of our country and save the american dream — you don't hear too much about the american dream over the last two years — then this tuesday you must go out and vote republican in this giant red wave. his nearly—90—minute speech touched on familiar themes, including the border wall and the investigations against him. donald trump has been emboldened by the latest polls

showing his party is likely to take one and perhaps both chambers of congress. once again, he teased his potential return. in order to make our country successful, safe and glorious, i will probably have to do it again — but stay tuned. cheering. donald trump hasn't announced he's running again, but his supporters are already preparing for it. in the meantime, the upcoming midterm elections have certainly heightened the feeling that they are in a battle to save america. i'm voting for conservatives' voices that are pro—god, pro—country, pro—family, pro—life. i'm a father and i want my daughter to be raised with make america great again. there's a lot at stake in the midterm election — for one, the control of congress — but also donald trump's status if he goes after the presidency once more.

nada tawfik, bbc news, miami. now it's time for a look at the weather with carol kirkwood. hello again. the weather for the first half of this week is looking rather unsettled, but things do quieten down for the second half of the week. today, it's going to be fairly cloudy. we've got some rain, some of that heavy and thundery pushing north eastwards and we've also got a lot of showers. there will be some brightness around, but it will be fairly limited and we're also looking at gusty winds with highs ten to 16 degrees. but if anything, the winds are going to pick up as we go through the evening and overnight period as a band of squally rain moves from the west towards the east, followed in hot pursuit by some heavy showers in the west. now, these are overnight lows, ten to about 13 degrees, but the wind will be a feature, especially with exposure in the west and also through the english channel. coupled with high tides, there'll be some very large waves.

tomorrow, if anything, we're back into sunshine and showers. fewer showers than today, a bit more sunshine. the winds will still be noticeable, but not as strong as today for most and our temperatures — 12 to 15. this is bbc news, i'm lukwesa burak, the headlines. world leaders arrive at the cop climate summit in egypt — amid warnings from the un that the past eight years are on track to be the warmest on record. the prime minister will call for a global mission for newjobs and clean growth, when he addresses leaders at the summit later today. it comes amid a growing political row back in westminster — over text messages sent by sir gavin williamson. downing street says the pm believes the expletive—laden messages are "unacceptable". president zelensky says russia is planning more air strikes on ukraine's vital infrastructure — as a new report warns ukraine is in danger of running out of air defence weapons.

the number of children needing speech and language support at school has risen by 10% in england over the past year, partly due to covid lockdowns limiting social interactions. let's cross to the bbc sport centre for a catch up on all the important sport news. good morning, john. good morning... there was a huge shock at twickenham as england began their autumn internationals with a defeat to argentina. it was a thrilling match with the pumas hanging on for victory by a single point, a setback head coach eddiejones said would lead to some �*uncomfortable conversations' 0lly foster reports. ten months might seem a long time but the next few weekends will go a long way to decide which england players will be lining up at the world cup. this test against

argentina carried extra significance because they will face the pumas in france next year in their opening match. joe faulkner singers had a tough time with injuries but argentina will up a few bruises as they tried to stop him going over. argentina was kept in the game with flawless kicking. england responded immediately, they spotted a gap and powered through it. despite the flurry of tries, the match was decided by the booth. the sixth successive penalty saw argentina over the line by a single point. the last time they run at twickenham, 16 years ago, the england head coach was sacked, food for thought for eddiejones, and his players who have already started the inquest into this defeat. 0lly foster, bbc news. arsenal are back on top

of the premier league after beating chelsea. meanwhile liverpool perhaps not facing the demise many had prediced as they beat spurs — jurgen klopp comparing mo salah to some of the great strikers in the club's history. he scored two yesterday in their 2—1 win, his first came afterjust 10 minutes before he then doubled their lead just before the half time after this mistake from eric dier. and it was his double act that drew high praise from his manager. kenny dalglish probably had spells where he didn't score, ian rush had them probably, and robbie fowler might have had them, i'm not sure. when you see the goal rush and you think he has scored all the time. but i'm pretty sure they didn't. and then when you look back and realise, oh, that was a real legacy, wow. and it will be with mo, 100%. now, how about this for a start as manager, yourfirst game in charge, unai emery at aston villa watching his side beat manchester united 3—1. it's their first win over united at home in 23 years. great start for emery. elsewhere wins for newcastle and crystal palace.

the pressure's mounting on rangers manager gianni van bronckhorst. after they lost 2—1 to stjohnstone — leaving them seven points behind leaders celtic in the scottish premiership. this was the opening goal for stjohnstone and what a goal it was. arsenal enjoying a great weekend all round, back on top of the women' super league as well with a 4—0 win over leciester. and chelsea have moved level on points with the gunners at the top of the table after they beat manchester united 3—1 in front of a record crowd at leigh sports village — sam kerr got the goal—scoring started. it ends united's perfect start the season. it's been an historic gymnastics world championships for great britain in liverpool. jessica gadirova took gold in the floor event to take gb's tally to a record breaking six medals. earlier in the competition she'd helped the team get silver before taking a bronze medal in the womens all round. this victory makes her only the fifth british world champion in history.

earlier i caught up with her on bbc breakfast. that is why i love the flow so much because i can show off my attitude through emotions and can be powerful with the tumbles. it has a nice mix to all of it. ronnie 0'sullivan beat judd trump to win the champion of champions for a fourth time. trump staged an incredible fightback from 6—1 down to pull back to 7—6, including this maximum 147 break. but it was 0'sullivan who then pulled clear to win by ten frames to six. it's his 77th career title. that's all the sport for now. just a reminder the draw for the last 16 of the champions league is today at around midday with four british teams in that. but that is all from me. back to you. john, thank you very much.

the defence and security think—tank, rusi, is warning that ukraine is in danger of running out of air defence weapons. it says russia could repeat its devastating bombing techniques that reduced large parts of syrian cities to rubble, unless western nations resupply ukraine's defences as a matter of urgency. justin bronk is one of the report authors — he is a senior research fellow for airpower and military technology at rusi. thank you forjoining us on bbc news. i wonder if he could give us more detail about your findings? thank you, essentially ukraine has only been able to keep the russian air force mostly behind the front lines on the russian side and therefore relatively ineffective throughout the war, thanks to very good use of its mobile short and medium range surface—to—air missile systems. but those are almost

entirely system that ukraine started the war with. whereas on the ground we have seen huge amounts of western aid progressively trying to move more and more of the ukrainian military across to western system so we can better support and supply. in the air domain, because russia has so farfailed to gain air superiority, it has not been prioritised up to now. it is not necessarily a bad call up to now, but ukraine didn't plan on fighting an air defence campaign for this long so unless the west urgently finds ways to resupply the soviet air systems ukraine still operates, as well as starting to supply western equivalents we can support long—term, the ukrainian air force won't be able to hold back russian air power if they run out of ammunition.— air power if they run out of ammunition. , . . air power if they run out of ammunition. , ., . ., ammunition. there is a reference to the campaign _ ammunition. there is a reference to the campaign that — ammunition. there is a reference to the campaign that russia _ ammunition. there is a reference to the campaign that russia waged i ammunition. there is a reference to the campaign that russia waged in l the campaign that russia waged in syria, are you saying that approach

was largely successful? u nfortu nately was largely successful? unfortunately in syria, yes. the russian air force was a key in the turnaround of the fortunes of the assad regime. although they were relatively unsophisticated, it used an amount of dumb bombs, in effect. but if it is able to operate in a relatively uncontested way at medium level and above, so out of range of shoulder fire, level and above, so out of range of shoulderfire, overtime level and above, so out of range of shoulderfire, over time the level and above, so out of range of shoulder fire, over time the weight of the bombardment it can bring down on a sustained basis is effective against a a0 cannot defend against it. ukraine needs to be able to maintain it so far successful defence efforts with more western support in that area.— support in that area. looking cuickl support in that area. looking quickly at — support in that area. looking quickly at the _ support in that area. looking quickly at the russian - support in that area. looking i quickly at the russian approach support in that area. looking - quickly at the russian approach over ukraine. we are seeing a lot of use of these cruise missiles and drones, what about larger air and jets? that

what about larger air and jets? sit the moment russianjets are the moment russian jets are essentially conducting mostly stand—off rockets and precision guided munitions attacks near the front lines. but also they are running a lot of fighter patrols on the russian side of the lines, but at high altitude with long—range missiles the ukrainians cannot counter. to an ukrainian air force tries to fly missions in support of the ongoing ground offence incentives, those ground effectjets are coming under attack consistently against russian aircraft they cannot respond to because they are more modern and have more effective long—range missiles than the ukrainian pilots are able to carry. in the longer term, not only did ukraine require the ability to keep those russian aircraft on those side of the lines, it will also require western aircraft capable of meeting russian fighters on a more equitable basis. so something like f—16 or

griffin is probably the right answer. 0n the other hand it will take time training the pilots, it will probably be a couple of months but training maintainers is a key issue and say something like the swedish government has advantages there because it is designed to be maintained by very few specialist and mostly conscripts with a more simplified logistics system than american equipment. as always, politics will be determining who moves first to supply ukraine with modern aircraft.— modern aircraft. who is applying russia? are _ modern aircraft. who is applying russia? are they _ modern aircraft. who is applying russia? are they bespoke i modern aircraft. who is applying i russia? are they bespoke russian jets or are they getting supplies? we know iran have played a part in terms of drones, but in terms of their artillery, their stockpiles, do they have enough or are they looking elsewhere?— do they have enough or are they looking elsewhere? russia is running cuite low looking elsewhere? russia is running quite low on — looking elsewhere? russia is running quite low on its _ looking elsewhere? russia is running quite low on its precision _ looking elsewhere? russia is running quite low on its precision guided i quite low on its precision guided munitions stockpiles. essentially, it wasn't set up to fight a precision guided munitions heavy air war because it is meant to be the

artillery doing most of the damage. it's aircraft industry is respectable enough, it doesn't compete in terms of quality of advanced stealth aircraft, but the russian air force is equipped with about 350 modern aircraft are produced itself. a lot of western components, french and american avionics. it is a seriously capable air force provided it is able to operate in a relatively permissive attitude space. i operate in a relatively permissive attitude space.— operate in a relatively permissive attitude space. i 'ust want to “ump in cuickl , attitude space. i 'ust want to “ump in quickly, in i attitude space. i just want to “ump in quickly, in the i attitude space. i just want to “ump in quickly, in the early i attitude space. i just want to jump in quickly, in the early weeks i attitude space. i just want to jump in quickly, in the early weeks and | in quickly, in the early weeks and days of this particular war, we talked about the importance of securing the air to get the advantage. is that... are we close to saying where we are with that? that to saying where we are with that? sit the moment we are still in the face of mutual denial of air superiority. russia has huge ground—based air

defence capability and ukraine has been operating at low level and on the defensive in the air campaign for most of the war. the key thing is, russia has also been forced to essentially stand off and be very cautious with its deployment of airpower, apart from the first few days. airpower, apart from the first few da s. , airpower, apart from the first few da 5, , ., ~' airpower, apart from the first few da s. , ., ~ airpower, apart from the first few da s. , ., , airpower, apart from the first few da s. , . , . let's return now to our top story — the cop27 climate conference in egypt. the former prime minister boris johnson is attending and once again cynicism he says has crept in since last year in glasgow. taste cynicism he says has crept in since last year in glasgow.— cynicism he says has crept in since last year in glasgow. we can see the scale of the — last year in glasgow. we can see the scale of the problem _ last year in glasgow. we can see the scale of the problem but _

including the british—egyptian activist alaa abd el—fattah. fears for mr el—fatteh's safety are growing after he stopped drinking water, adding to his seven—month hunger strike. we can speak now to hossam bahgat, an egyptian human rights activist and who was himself a former political prisoner. thank you forjoining us on bbc news. i wonder if we could start off pleas with you giving us a background as to who alaa abd el—fattah is and why he was targeted ljy el—fattah is and why he was targeted by the egyptian government. thank ou for by the egyptian government. thank you for having _ by the egyptian government. thank you for having me. _ by the egyptian government. thank you for having me. alaa _ by the egyptian government. thank you for having me. alaa abd - you for having me. alaa abd el—fattah is a symbol of our generation, a writer, thinker, a pioneer blogger as well as an organiser, he was very prominent during the 2011 revolution that we

had. for his role and his influence really, especially among young people he has spent the best part of the last nine years in prison. the most recent stint in prison started three years ago and he was sentenced by an emergency state security court to five years imprisonment for "spreading false information" over one facebook post he wrote. ii'iin�*n�* one facebook post he wrote. how would ou one facebook post he wrote. how would you describe _ one facebook post he wrote. how would you describe the state of human rights in egypt? 0ne would you describe the state of human rights in egypt? one of his supporters, i think it is his sister is quoted about using cop27 to test egypt's civic space?— egypt's civic space? egypt has been for the last eight _ egypt's civic space? egypt has been for the last eight years _ egypt's civic space? egypt has been for the last eight years in _ egypt's civic space? egypt has been for the last eight years in the i for the last eight years in the middle of a full—scale human rights crisis. we are talking about a regime that has become one of the worst abuses of human rights around the world in terms of the sheer

number of political prisoners, inhumane prison conditions. the criminalisation really of the media, of freedom of expression, association, assembly and a total ban on public protest, ongoing prosecutions against human rights defenders with travel bans and asset freezes. complete evisceration of the civic space in egypt that was once vibrant and diverse, if limited in the past. once vibrant and diverse, if limited in the past-— in the past. could you please tell us what you _ in the past. could you please tell us what you know _ in the past. could you please tell us what you know about - in the past. could you please tell us what you know about alaa i in the past. could you please tell| us what you know about alaa abd el—fattah's health, how is he? unfortunately since he started the full hunger strike in november the 1st and started his water strike yesterday, we haven't been able to receive any news from him. his mother is currently standing outside a prison trying to get proof of life. his family has also called on the british prime minister to try

and get proof of life, as well as to press for saving his life and ending this injustice by releasing him. we think cop27 happening in egypt is a rare and good opportunity to share that global highlight, notjust on the predicament of decker—macro, but also on the overall human rights crisis in egypt, calling on global civil society and world leaders to join us in solidarity in demanding the release of political prisoners, opening civic space and ending the crackdown on civil descent. just erase his case, _ crackdown on civil descent. just erase his case, you _ crackdown on civil descent. just erase his case, you are aware the british government have been speaking on this. rishi sunak saying the case was a priority for his administration. he has raised the issue with president lcc several times. i know in the past some 800 political prisoners have been

released, i think in the last six months. why not alaa abd el—fattah? the regime over the last six months has shown some sensitivity to international criticism, perhaps in preparation for cop27. 800 people have been released and the president called for a national dialogue with political opposition and civil society organisations. but that does not signal any course correction. 0ver not signal any course correction. over the same six months around 1500 people were arrested. so eventually the number of political prisoners in egypt has increased, not decrease. alaa abd el—fattah, because of his prominence has been one of the most difficult cases to argue and push for his release because there is very much personal animosity towards him because of his very prominent role in the 2011 revolution. {lila role in the 2011 revolution. 0k, thank you _ role in the 2011 revolution. 0k, thank you very _ role in the 2011 revolution. 0k, thank you very much _ role in the 2011 revolution. 0k, thank you very much indeed.

it's been just ten days since elon musk completed his $38 billion deal to buy twitter and the controversy generated by the world's richest man shows no sign of slowing down. he's announced that twitter will ban unlabelled parody accounts without a warning and some users have been so annoyed at mr musk�*s behaviour they're talking about moving to rival social media sites. joining me now is our technology editor, zoe kleinman. the attention continues on elon musk himself? , , ., ., , himself? yes, it is hard to believe this has only _ himself? yes, it is hard to believe this has only been _ himself? yes, it is hard to believe this has only been going - himself? yes, it is hard to believe this has only been going on i himself? yes, it is hard to believe this has only been going on for. himself? yes, it is hard to believe| this has only been going on for ten days. elon musk is saying he will immediately suspend any accounts that are impersonating other people. they seem to be mainly account impersonating him, because there has been quite a few people doing that over the weekend. it is interesting to see the power he has, he is very much in control of this operation, very much making the decisions and

making them on the hoof as well, sharing them with his 112 million twitter followers as and when it happens. the reaction on twitter has been interesting. people are feeling uneasy, people talking about leaving and they are going to find alternatives. the one that popped up into the fall is this platform that has been around for about three years, it is a community run open source free site to use, called mastodon. it has had over a million new users since elon musk took over at twitter. it is still small numbers compared with twitter, but it is a sign things are taking off very quickly. it is a sign things are taking off very quickly-— it is a sign things are taking off very quickly. there is news they have suddenly _ very quickly. there is news they have suddenly realised, - very quickly. there is news they have suddenly realised, if- very quickly. there is news they have suddenly realised, if you l very quickly. there is news they l have suddenly realised, if you can confirm this, they actually need a lot of the staff and expertise that they fired? lot of the staff and expertise that the fired? ., ,., ,., , they fired? there are some reports around suggesting _ they fired? there are some reports around suggesting some _ they fired? there are some reports around suggesting some staff- they fired? there are some reports around suggesting some staff who | around suggesting some staff who were told were losing theirjobs on

friday have been asked to come back. we have not been able to verify that. they have been given three months pay and told officially they are still working and still on the books. we need to know exactly what it is they have been asked to do. elon musk has said he had no choice but to lay a 50% of twitter�*s workforce, about 7500 employees around the world, we think about 1000 in the uk. we think twitter is losing about $a million a day, about three and a half million pounds a day and he has to do something to make it profitable. he is introducing a fee to have a verification badge, a blue tick for example and he is trying to do things differently. it is a fact twitter hasn't made a revenue in ages and hasn't grown its user base either. he does have to do something but the question is what to do? whatever he's doing doesn't seem to be going down very well. thank whatever he's doing doesn't seem to be going down very well.— be going down very well. thank you very much- — researchers in britain say blood grown in a laboratory has been given to people for the first time.

the blood was developed from harvested stem cells which are grown and encouraged to form red—blood cells. if the tests are successful, researchers hope to be able to use the technology to make very rare blood groups, which is vital for people who need regular transfusions. we can speak to cedric gairvaart, who's professor of transfusion medicine at the university of cambridge and consultant haematologist at nhs blood and transplant. he's also one of the lead researchers on the project. professor, thank you forjoining us. it sounds very exciting, how significant is this development? good morning. it is a very significant development. these technologies that are coming out of academic research need to be translated into human studies. in reaching that point is the result of

ten years of work with the very large team across several institutions. but it is very significant because as you mentioned, this is a technology that will benefit patients with very rare blood groups that are otherwise very difficult to transfused, because we simply cannot find blood donors that match them to treat them in hospital. 50 match them to treat them in hosital. ,., ., match them to treat them in hosital. ., ., , hospital. so some of that blood has been uiven hospital. so some of that blood has been given to _ hospital. so some of that blood has been given to people, _ hospital. so some of that blood has been given to people, this - hospital. so some of that blood has been given to people, this is - hospital. so some of that blood has been given to people, this is the i been given to people, this is the first time that has happened, so what can you tell us about that? what are we doing at the moment is a micro dosing study. we are only giving two spoonfuls of red cells that have developed in the lab and relabel them. after the infusion into healthy volunteers, we can actually track how long they survive and that will tell us whether they actually survive just as well and will be better than the standard red cells we derive from blood donors.

the volunteers are invited and they are matched to blood donors who give us the stem cell. from the stem cell in a period of 20 days we make the red cells and then we inject those after they have been labelled. we check how long they survive in the circulation and we compare that with the red cells from the same donor prepared in the standard way. just how much does this cost? the i prepared in the standard way. just i how much does this cost? the costs ofthe how much does this cost? the costs of the production _ how much does this cost? the costs of the production of _ how much does this cost? the costs of the production of the _ how much does this cost? the costs of the production of the cells - how much does this cost? the costs of the production of the cells is i of the production of the cells is still high compared to what a standard compiling of red—cell cost, which is £130. but the next step will be once we have proven these cells do work will be upscaling and manufacturing which will reduce the cost to the point that actually this will become a project and a product thatis will become a project and a product that is usable by the nhs. iloatheh will become a project and a product that is usable by the nhs. when we talk about rare _ that is usable by the nhs. when we talk about rare blood _ that is usable by the nhs. when we talk about rare blood types, - that is usable by the nhs. when we talk about rare blood types, what i talk about rare blood types, what are we talking about, who are we talking about and who is it out

to five metres high. there is the risk of some localised flooding from this and it's going to be accompanied by a band of squally rain moving from the west towards the east, followed by a lot of showers in the west. but even inland we're looking at gusty winds, this gives you an idea of the kind of strength that we are looking at. we've got 71 in the english channel, 39 miles an hour gusts around birmingham. once again, it's going to be another mild night. so as we head into tomorrow, low pressure is still in charge with us, our weather front bringing this squally rain pushes away onto the near continent and as you can see from the isobars, it's still going to be windy, but just not as windy as today except for in the west and the south with exposure where it still will be gusty. tomorrow is the day of sunshine and showers, but fewer showers than today and temperatures 12 to about 15 degrees once again, north to south. now, as we head on into wednesday, the ridge of high pressure builds in through the course of the day, so although some of us will start with showers, there'll be fewer as we go through the afternoon, except for across northern and also western scotland.

we might see a few in northern ireland as well. temperatures still on the mild side for the time of year. now wednesday and into thursday, friday in the weekend, you can see this ridge of high pressure building across us. but in the north, we still have some weather fronts coming in which will bring in some rain, but the winds coming from a mild direction, namely from the south. so temperatures if anything going to climb that a bit more to about 16 or 17 for some.
