themes so. already some turbulent themes from a weather watcher in plymouth. through the rest of the day and into tonight we will see heavy bursts of rain accompanied by some squally, dusty winds. this is the reason why. this is the satellite picture. that shows us we have got quite an active weather system on our hands with this clear edge, an active cold front that will swing its way towards us tonight with short, sharp bursts of heavy and thundery rain and some squally winds and rough seas as well. there is some rain right now, but as we can see from the radar picture it is quite sporadic in nature. there are some drier gaps and that is the way things will continue through the afternoon. particularly heavy in parts of south—west scotland and equally southern parts of england, south wales, may see a little bit of sunshine before the day is done. temperatures are 12 to 16, a little bit above where we should be this time of year. but through tonight
1:31 pm
here comes our active, cold front and some heavy, thundery rain with hail thrown in and wind gusts of 50, 60 may be 70 miles an hour whipping up 60 may be 70 miles an hour whipping up some rough seas and that could give rise to some coastal flooding. the intensity of the rainfall as it comes down in a short space of time might give surface flooding as well. it moves north eastwards overnight, some showers following on behind. a mild night and i'll start to tomorrow. tomorrow will stay quite windy with spells of sunshine. some showers push in from the west towards the east, some of which will be heavy and potentially thundery. they should move through quite quickly. those temperatures again a little bit above where they should be at this time of year. those temperatures are set to rise further as the week wears on. this is wednesday and again sunshine and showers on the face of it, but signs that those showers will tend to ease as we go through the afternoon. a weak ridge of high pressure trying to build in. so that means it will
1:32 pm
be higher and calmer by wednesday. let's have a look at the end of the week. this warm front works its way through with warm air behind it. another system wriggling to the north—west of the uk bringing in further rain. but this setup will leave us in the midst of some really unusually warm air for this time of year. these are the daytime temperatures we are expecting for thursday and friday. we are looking at about 17 degrees and i would not be surprised if some places were warmer than that. sunny conditions in the south and east of the uk, but more rain and more brisk winds towards the north and the west. in the short term through tonight a short, sharp bursts of heavy rain and squally winds. a reminder of our top story... as world leaders gather to discuss climate change, the head of the un,

this afternoon. more now on the cop27 summit that is taking place in egypt over the next few weeks. world leaders have come together to discuss the future of the planet and the worsening effects of climate change. there are some of the key issues of course under discussion. there are some of the key issues of course under discussion. president emmanuel macron of france urged china and the united states to pay theirfair share in helping poorer countries deal with the impact of changes to our climate. also, of course, we have been hearing from the secretary general of the united nations, antonio guterres, he spoke this morning with strong words about how much is still needed to be done. injust days, our in just days, our planet's population will cross a new threshold, the 8,000,000,000th member of our human family will be born. these milestones put into
1:39 pm
perspective what this climate conference is all about, how will we answer when baby 8 billion is old enough to ask, what did you do for our world and for our planet when you had the chance? this un climate conference is a reminder that the answer is in our hands. and the clock is ticking. we are in the fight of our lives, and we are losing. greenhouse gas emissions keep growing. global temperatures keep growing. global temperatures keep rising. and our planet is fast approaching tipping point that will make climate chaos irreversible. we are on highway to climate hail, with ourfit are on highway to climate hail, with our fit still are on highway to climate hail, with ourfit still on the are on highway to climate hail, with our fit still on the accelerator. human activities that cause of the problem so human action must be the solution. action to re—establish
1:40 pm
ambition, and action to rebuild trust, especially between north and south. the science is clear, any hope of limiting temperature rises to 1.5 degrees means achieving global net zero emissions by 2050. but that 1.5 degree girl is on life support and the machine is rattling. we are getting dangerously close to the point of no return. and to avoid that dire fate, will be 27 countries must accelerate their transition now in this decade. the two largest economies, the artist states and china, have a particular responsibility tojoin china, have a particular responsibility to join efforts to make this pact a reality. and this is our only hope of reaching our climate goals. co—operate or perish.
1:41 pm
it is either a climate solidarity pact or collective suicide pact. there is no adapting to a growing number of catastrophic events causing things around the world. the deadly impacts of climate change are here and now. loss and damage can no longer be swept under the rug. it is a moral imperative, it is a fundamental question of international solidarity and climate justice. those who contributed to the climate crisis are reaping the west by others. and many are blindsided by impacts for which they had no warning or means of preparation. this is why i am calling for a universal early warning system coverage within five years, and it is why i am asking for all governments... let redirect the money to people struggling with
1:42 pm
rising food and energy prices and to countries suffering loss and damage caused by the crisis. when addressing loss and damage, we must agree on a clear road map reflective of the scale and urgency of the challenge. and this road map must deliver effective institutional arrangements for financing. let's not forget that the war on nature is itself a massive violation of human rights. we need all hands on deck for faster, rights. we need all hands on deck forfaster, bolder climate rights. we need all hands on deck for faster, bolder climate action. the window of opportunity remains open but only a narrow shaft of light remains. the global climate fight will be one lost in this crucial decade on our watch. and one thing is certain, those that give up are sure to lose. so, let's fight together and let's win. for the 8

1:44 pm
islands which by definition are more vulnerable, aren't they?— vulnerable, aren't they? yes, i ha en vulnerable, aren't they? yes, i happen to _ vulnerable, aren't they? yes, i happen to be _ vulnerable, aren't they? yes, i happen to be from _ vulnerable, aren't they? yes, i happen to be from the - vulnerable, aren't they? yes, i i happen to be from the seychelles thatis happen to be from the seychelles that is part of the alliance, i have friends and fellows from maldives and other places that are low—lying and other places that are low—lying and seychelles also has low—lying atolls and islands, and we are seeing them be submerged. some are becoming uninhabitable within my lifetime. i am 28 and i am seeing in my lifetime how my country �*s integrity and statehood is at stake. and so you go to an event like this, you are in sharm el—sheikh, what optimism do you have, if any, that this is more than a talking shop, that anything will be achieved? because we have ready had the head of the un say what has been achieved since glasgow is woeful, that is the word he is using, so this make a difference? for word he is using, so this make a difference?— difference? for me, being from somewhere _ difference? for me, being from

somewhere like _ difference? for me, being from somewhere like seychelles - difference? for me, being from somewhere like seychelles and | difference? for me, being from - somewhere like seychelles and having the opportunity to speak to people around the world through the bbc, i need to... there is an international agreement amongst states, how it is being decided, how are monks it is being decided, how are monks it is being argued, this is happening now, by us putting pressure, whether individuals or corporations, businesses, ngos, it is about paying attention to this and re—asking the person you vote for, what are they doing. when the secretary general was talk about taxing fossil fuels, it is also the subsidies we play. we pay half of the trillion dollars and actively to the fossil fuel companies and i think it is to trillion, when you the impact that these fossil fuel industries have. and they are making windfall profits why people are going through the toughest times of their lives when it comes to this living crisis, so we have to see the climate crisis —— crisis as a symptom of the injustice happening. find

1:47 pm
the seychelles so you get a sense there of the impact that climate change is having. we will have continuing coverage, of course, from the cop27 climate conference throughout the week here on the bbc. now it's time to see what's making the news across the uk. schools across yorkshire and lincolnshire say they are running out of money. figures from the national association of headteachers show more than 50% of schools in the region will be in deficit this academic year. and two—thirds of them may have to lose staff to try to balance the books. caroline bilton reports. breakfast club at south hounsley school. it's now in more demand than ever. we've seen a really significant increase in the number of young people who are coming to school hungry, coming to school without the correct uniform.
1:48 pm
the scale of what we're seeing is much more significant than anything that we've seen before. they're doing their best to deal with this demand, but the trust that runs this school has already had to find savings of £900,000 this year alone. when a £900,000 shock comes overnight, then you do go and start making choices about buildings and about it and the things that schools should have but we will have to live without until the funding situation is resolved. what happens if it isn't resolved? it puts schools in, certainly in my experience, in completely unchartered territory. at beverly's colescroft primary school, they're preparing for christmas. life continues as normal. but here, too, they're struggling to balance the books. it's a shock. it is like an electric shock, actually. he's been doing thisjob for nearly 30 years. he's never seen figures like this.
1:49 pm
well, on this plan here, the deficit is looking at minus £424,000. that's nearly half a million pounds. i'm asking myself, as i can't believe that. if i did nothing now and everything is still exactly the same and there's no extra funding coming in, in five years, that would be the deficit for the school. both these schools say cutting staff will be a last resort. maintenance of buildings and it will suffer first. both are determined to not let this impact on education. caroline bilton, bbc look north. a birmingham church has set up what it believes is one of the first choirs made up entirely of children from black and minority ethnic backgrounds. st mary's church is working with a nearby primary school to develop the chorister programme. it's also putting on free recitals, workshops and singing lessons to help nurture the children's interest in classical music. james bovill reports.

us political leaders have been hitting the campaign trails before the mid—term elections. the polls will determine who controls congress for the next two years and they will almost certainly set the agenda for the next presidential contest in 2024. the next presidential contest in 202a. donald trumpjoe biden have both been lending their weight to various candidates rallies over the weekends. 0ur north american correspondent reports from a trump rally in miami. 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 democrat's 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
1:55 pm
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. 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 conservative voices that are pro—god, pro—country,
1:56 pm
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 more coming up on all today's main stories from two o'clock with ben brown to take you through the afternoon. right now, let's pause and take a look at that weather prospects. here was ben rich. there was no shortage of rain through the weekend and there is more to come through the rest of today and entered night, accompanied by some really squally gusty winds, and we can see the reason for that developing on our earlier satellite image. this stripe of cloud with a
1:57 pm
very clear that edge a sign that we have a really active weather system that will bring a burst of very heavy rain and very squally gusty winds as it works eastwards during today entered tonight. this cold front here will be bringing that speu front here will be bringing that spell of quite turbulent weather. in the meantime, the rest of today will bring some splashes of rain here and there, a fair matter of cloud, that kind of breaking at times, especially across southern parts, temperatures between 12 and 15 degrees, but here is that very active weather system, that very active weather system, that very active cold front swinging in as we go through the evening for parts of northern ireland, wales, and south—west england, especially, a short sharp burst of heavy rain accompanied by squally gusty winds, wind gusts up to 70 mph, some very rough seas as well, big waves crashing into our coastlines. the band of rain continued to journey northwards and eastwards as we go to the rest of the night, some showers following behind and it will be a
1:58 pm
relatively mild night, seven to 13 degrees. into tomorrow, there is active weather front, clearing away north—east was but lingering across the shetlands, then a day of sunshine and showers, some showers will be heavy and some will be thundery, it will still be quite windy there, they will still be some quite rough seas around the coastlines, and temperatures again 11 to 15 degrees. a touch above the norm for this time of year. wednesday, another sunshine and showers day but as the day wears on, the showers will become fewer and further between, temperatures again 12 to 15 degrees, quite breezy. as we look towards the end of the week, we look towards the end of the week, we will see this frontal system moving through, a warm front, we will see rain continuing into the north—west corner but this will leave us in a wedge of very warm air and so temperatures for the end of the week are going to be unusually high for november, we live in daytime highs of around 17 degrees, some rain in the north—west,

sunshine further south—east.
