and rising interest rates. britain is not officially in recession yet — that happens when the economy shrinks for two three—month periods in a row. in the previous three months — april tojune — the economy saw growth of 0.2 %. but it's expected that we will have gone into recession by the end of the year — and the bank of england has already predicted it could be the longest on record. here's our business correspondent andy verity. the manufacturer in walsall makes harnesses the cables and cars and vehicles. it'sjust opened its second factory, but is struggling for the cost of components in raw materials. �* , , , , for the cost of components in raw materials-— for the cost of components in raw materials. �* , ,, , ., , materials. businesses are being held back. obviously, _ materials. businesses are being held back. obviously, we _ materials. businesses are being held back. obviously, we need _ materials. businesses are being held back. obviously, we need customer. back. obviously, we need customer support _ back. obviously, we need customer surlport we — back. obviously, we need customer support. we look at charities, look at opportunities that we have to increase — at opportunities that we have to increase output, increasing output might _ increase output, increasing output might mean we only stand still, batch _ might mean we only stand still, batch in — might mean we only stand still, batch in the current climate, that

otherwise be. as the post—brexit uk economy shrank by 0.2%, it began what is forecast to be the longest recession in hundred years. the only country in the g7 group that hasn't recovered to previous levels. according to the international monetary fund, about a third of their world economy is in recession this year and more next year. high in global energy prices. we are not immune to that in the uk. what we need is a plant that shows how we will get through this difficult period. will get through this difficult eriod. ., ., , ,, period. tax giveaways by the conservatives _ period. tax giveaways by the conservatives in _ period. tax giveaways by the conservatives in their - period. tax giveaways by the conservatives in their last. period. tax giveaways by the - conservatives in their last budget caused _ conservatives in their last budget caused huge damage. the last 12 years— caused huge damage. the last 12 years of— caused huge damage. the last 12 years of a — caused huge damage. the last 12 years of a stagnant economy with barely— years of a stagnant economy with barely any— years of a stagnant economy with barely any economic growth, we need to stabilise _ barely any economic growth, we need to stabilise the economy, but then have a _ to stabilise the economy, but then have a plan— to stabilise the economy, but then have a plan for growth. what counts there any plans _ have a plan for growth. what counts there any plans is _ have a plan for growth. what counts there any plans is what _ have a plan for growth. what counts there any plans is what the - have a plan for growth. what counts there any plans is what the top - there any plans is what the top priority is. if it is to boost

public finances and head off inflation by spending higher taxes on top of higher interest rates, but will not be compatible with the other aim that they share, to make the recession short and shallow as possible. let's get more on this with our economics correspondent andy verity. how should we read these figures? not as bad as people thought they should be. the .2% is not as bad as the .5% economists were expecting. if we are entering a recession, we can't yet declare it because we haven't had six months of it. with economic activity shrinking, if we are entering it as the bank of england has forecast, it is not as deep by a long chalk with what we went through at the beginning of the pandemic. the recessionjust means the amount of goods and services producing in the economy shrinks, rather than growing. the curve of growth receives before growing again. there is human cost when that

happens because if there is less money being spent, few people working, unemployment goes up and the bank is predicting that... there will be no furlough _ the bank is predicting that... there will be no furlough scheme - the bank is predicting that... there will be no furlough scheme this - will be no furlough scheme this time, unlike during covid? the government had a tool that they will not apply again. we government had a tool that they will not apply again-— not apply again. we went to the government _ not apply again. we went to the government paying _ not apply again. we went to the government paying private - not apply again. we went to the l government paying private sector payments to be about wages again. —— we won't see. who has done more unfunded cats —— tax cuts, answer, rishi sunak. but under deflation circumstances. is we have this happening at the same time as a worse inflation in a0 years and tools to to fight inflation are in opposite directions to the tools to fight recession. that opposite directions to the tools to fight recession.— opposite directions to the tools to fight recession. that is a potential clash which _ fight recession. that is a potential clash which is _ fight recession. that is a potential clash which is what _ fight recession. that is a potential clash which is what the _ fight recession. that is a potential. clash which is what the government is trying to avoid, and the bank of england. to a certain extent, they

here's our political correspondent, iain watson. conservative mps have been moving at some speed to distance themselves from the mini budget but now the very chancellor who delivered that many budget seems to be doing much the same thing. he says, "oh, i'm not washing my hands of it but kwasi's comments suggest it was liz truss's hands that were all over it. even suggesting that she was pushing radical measures through parliament far too quickly and that he was warning her of consequences of doing too much too soon. well, i said actually after the budget, because we were going very fast, even after the mini budget we were going at breakneck speed. i said, "we should slow down, slow down." what did she say? she said well, "i've only got two years." and i said, "you'll have two months if you carry on like this." and that's, i'm afraid, what happened. now, interesting though that kwasi kwarteng was talking about slowing the pace after the mini budget. because just two days

after he delivered it, he told the bbc that essentially, there were more tax cuts to come, more unfunded tax cuts to come. he also said that it was mad of liz truss to sack him as chancellor. but i'm not sure that the current chancellor, jeremy hunt would agree because when he was told about kwasi kwarteng's remarks today, he said that unless people had a plan to bring that down than the markets would react badly, the country had to show it could pay its way. he brings forward his own plans of course on november the 17th. they will be nothing like the mini budget but that doesn't mean to say troops have now left. a member of the local ruling council said ukraine had pushed out hiding after failing to escape. russia's defence ministry said all of its troops

city, they can get their casualties or own people out. they have chosen to leave kherson in good military order. that is a defeat. it doesn't mean this war is in any way over. where are they likely to be focusing their efforts now? i where are they likely to be focusing their efforts now?— their efforts now? i think two thins their efforts now? i think two things will— their efforts now? i think two things will happen _ their efforts now? i think two things will happen on - their efforts now? i think two things will happen on the - their efforts now? i think two | things will happen on the east their efforts now? i think two - things will happen on the east bank of this very large river, the russians will continue to have more effective defensive positions because the east bank of the river is the protection of both crimea and the routes into crimea, so they have now, they will secure a much more defensible position, but the focus for the fighting will go back to donbas where the russians are mounting a series of almost suicidal attacks on both sides will be able to concentrate more forces in the battle for territory. the to concentrate more forces in the battle for territory.— battle for territory. the question then is it that _ battle for territory. the question then is it that is, _ battle for territory. the question then is it that is, the _ battle for territory. the question then is it that is, the donbas - battle for territory. the question j then is it that is, the donbas has been effectively self—governing ie

the nhs is spending billions of pounds each year on freelance doctors, nurses and other health workers — often paying premium rates to fill vacancies. an investigation by the bbc found that this type of spending is increasing dramatically across the uk. last year agency staff cost £3 billion in england alone. that's the same cost as hiring around 50,000 full—time nurses. here's our health reporter chloe hayward. we have had to use more agency staff, unfortunately, and that comes with a cost. hospitals around england are struggling to fill rotas. we have seen an increase in people leaving. there's no doubt that one of the reasons is around more money. with wards already full, more doctors and nurses are needed, and expensive agency workers are often the only way to fill staffing gaps. we're all fishing in a relatively shallow pool of staff, so until we address the longer term challenges around workforce, it's always going to be a bit hand—to—mouth. 0n the ward in colchester hospital... i will be responsible for staffing for the whole of the site today.

..andy is in charge of filling rotas and knows these challenges all too well. yesterday, as an example, i thought my emergency department was nice and safe for the evening and a couple of hours before we had a couple of people call in sick and then immediately that changes things. overall, the nhs in england spent more than £3 billion on agency staff in the last year. that's up 20% on the year before. and agency spending is also rising in other parts of the uk. in scotland, it has doubled in the past year, while in wales it has risen by over a0%. in northern ireland it is four times higher than it was three years ago. with so many hospital budgets already very stretched, difficult decisions are now being made. i think the nhs has been trying to find greater efficiencies for a long, long time. but when i talk to clinical leaders, they're really, really nervous that they're going to have to make some really hard choices if they're going to stay in their budgets. and those hard choices will be

things like reducing the number of staff they use. 0r reducing the number of beds that they have in hospital. and you can see those are really going to have an impact on the quality and access to patient care. improving staff retention could play a key part when it comes to reducing agency spend. so now trusts around the country are taking steps such as improving rota flexibility, offering wellbeing sessions and launching mental health days. but for now, it ultimately comes down to flexibility and money. a junior doctor can triple his hourly rate if he works for agency versus being on an nhs contract. i wouldn't consider taking the shift if it wasn't paying the market rate, which would be around £50 to £60. i'd absolutely love to go back to being a staff member. it's mainly about the pay. sometimes you'll only be able to book a shift for two, three, four days a week. and you'll be very transient in the department. you won't know who the consultants are, the other members of staff, and it can sometimes affect the working dynamic, because you're just seen

as a replaceable agency worker. the department of health says a long—term workforce plan is coming, but for now, nhs trusts around england are left with little choice but to allocate more and more of their budgets on paying growing staff bills rather than providing front line services. chloe hayward, bbc news. an inquiry into an incident at a hotel housing asylum seekers in glasgow, in which one person died and six were injured, says it was an avoidable tragedy. injune, 2020, a sudanese man badreddin abdalla adam was shot dead by police after he stabbed six people. an inquiry commissioned by refugees forjustice, found it happened because of a poorly planned decision by the company managing asylum seekers in scotland to move them out of rented accommodation during the pandemic. activists from the group, just stop 0il, have announced they are halting their protests on the m25. drivers have faced four days of delays and disruption on the motorway.

just stop 0il says the pause will allow the government to "consider its responsibilities". prosecutors in belgium say a man who killed a police officer in the capital brussels on thursday was on a list of potentially violent extremists. the suspect shouted "allahu akbar" or "god is greatest" during the knife attack, according to a second officer who was also stabbed but survived. the former us president donald trump has criticised the governor of florida — and possible 202a presidential nomination rival — ron desantis. in a lengthy statement, mr trump dismissed de santis as �*an average republican governor with great public relations'.... calling on him to stop playing games and rule out a bid for the presidency. mr desantis stormed to re—election in the us mid—terms, and that puts them in pole position as the main or perhaps only

significant rivalfor as the main or perhaps only significant rival for the party nomination. they have widely trailed an announcement on tuesday that there is thought to be that he will be running again further white house. we had this update from washington, dc. this house. we had this update from washington, dc.— washington, dc. this is truly fascinating — washington, dc. this is truly fascinating stuff _ washington, dc. this is truly fascinating stuff that - washington, dc. this is truly fascinating stuff that we - washington, dc. this is truly fascinating stuff that we are | fascinating stuff that we are seeing. especially from the former president who put out these remarks yesterday. let's start with these jabs for governor ron desantis, calling him ron de sanctimonious. but then also calling clement average republican governor with great public nominations. he even said that ron came to me in desperate shape in 2017, calling him politically dead, saying that he needed help and an endorsement to get past his republican challenger in that race and ultimately to win the governorship going up against one of the more popular democrats at the time in that race, donald trump ultimately saying and complaining it was his endorsement that boosted

ron desantis to get that victory four years ago, so it is actually fascinating here, especially due to the fact that governor ron desantis has not publicly admitted or said that he is going to run for president in 202a, so much so that the former president ultimately came out in his remarks saying that he is actually calling him disingenuous and then going on even further to say that ron desantis came out to say he is not focused on the president, running for president right now and even going further to say he is focused on the governor race and not looking towards the future, donald trump even going on to say well in terms of loyalty and class, that is really not the right answer. as for the former president, he still expected to make that announcement next special week, hinting towards that 202a presidential bid. we should point out that three trump advisers have told cbs news that the former president should not make this announcement until after we see

the results of the senate races because we still don't know who is going to be in control of either chamber here on capitol hill. at cbs on president trump's latest manoeuvres. across the uk, many fell silent for the two minutes marking the anniversary of the end of the first world war. armistice day services have been taking place across the uk to remember those who have died in military conflicts. this year's commemorations included the recently restored big ben striking 11 times. 0ur correspondent nicholas witchell reports. 10a years since the original armistice day, the striking of the 11th hour on the 11th day of the 11th month is still regarded by many as the most solemn moment of national remembrance. ben ben strikes the hour.

good afternoon. how are you? good afternoon. we start in auckland where england are preparing for the final of the women's rugby union world cup against new zealand tomorrow morning — with england's head coach simon middleton saying all the pressure is on the hosts in front of their home crowd in auckland. the red roses face the black ferns at a sold out eden park. england have won their past 30 tests — the longest streak in the history of international rugby, but they've lost to new zealand in all four of the world cup finals they've played, including five years ago. captain emily scarratt has won the trophy though for england, in 201a, and she has this advice for her less—experienced team—mates: the whole journey itself is one you have to enjoy and relish. it's tough, we've been away from home for a long time but kind of, don't wish it away and stay really present with it all. i've been lucky to do four, but for many people this is their first and it could be the last and you don't know how it will pan out, so you have to enjoy the journey,

give it everything and then hopefully whatever the result, you can reflect and not have regrets on being the ones lifting you can reflect and not have regrets on it. it's notjust the rugby union world cup for england this weekend — on sunday it's the final of the men's t20 cricket world cup against pakistan in melbourne but bowler mark wood is struggling to be fit. the 32—year—old missed yesterday's semifinal win over india because of a hip injury. he's been the fastest bowler at the tournament and took nine wickets in four matches in the group stages. dawid malan is also unlikely to be fit. heavy showers are forecast in melbourne on sunday so organisers have had to tweak some of the scheduling rules to allow more time. a reserve day is scheduled for monday but with rain expected then too, two hours have been added to allow play later in the evening. if a 10—over—per—side match can't be played organisers say england and pakistan will be declared joint winners. in rain delays and when you are unsure you need to switch off,

but you need to find that button to switch back on and i think it's a great experience for us to go through and it will be a great reminder for us if we are watching the rain fall, but there are two days to get through and we will get this game in and it is the team that switches on at the right time that will take the title. nathanjones admits he's not the biggest name southampton could have gone for when they named him as their new manager — but "the substance will be in his work." the former luton town boss takes overfrom ralph hasenhuttl who was sacked on monday. his first test will be at anfield against liverpool tomorrow. jones says his wife's family are big southampton fans — which brings an added pressure! her great—grandfather played, her great—grandfather went to watch them. he was a massive southampton fan, her dad grew up season—ticket holders. her brother is also a

massive fan so absolutely zero pressure you know. her dad has given me tips last week last week when they played newcastle. so he has been blocked and now he has to go through the right channels to get for me and that's not because i'm a manager. it's wonderful, wonderful connection in terms of that. wonderful for them connection in terms of that. wonderfulfor them for connection in terms of that. wonderful for them for that family. i am now effectively the biggest southampton fan because my life depends on it. with the start of the football world cup in qatar little over a week away, we've had more squad announcements with senegal naming the former liverpool striker sadio mane in their side despite being injured mane's the country's star player — whose goals helped them become african champions earlier this year. he injured his right fibula on tuesday during bayern munich's win over werder bremen, putting his participation at the world cup in serious doubt. of spain's world cup squad, after an indifferent

start to the season. there's no place either for manchester united goalkeeper david de gea or psg's sergio ramos. more on that over on the bbc website. that's all the sport for now. thank you very much. france has suspended a plan to take in 3,500 refugees currently in italy, after rome refused to let a migrant rescue ship dock on its coast. the ocean viking ship was carrying 230 migrants, including 57 children. france has now allowed the ship to dock in toulon. it's the latest episode in a series of clashes between italy and its neighbour on migrant arrivals. i'm joined now by our europe correspondent in rome, mark lowen. this sounds like a bit of a tit—for—tat, what is going on? i think it is more explosive than that. it is now the worst crisis

between france and italy and over three years. it is very rare to have eu allies being so overly —— overtly hostile towards each other. this morning there was a press conference saying that france was aggressive, unjustified in its criticism in italy. it was all sparked when four migrant rescue vessel is run by ngos picking up migrants were initially blocked entrance to italy. italy then relented and allowed three of them in while publicly announcing that france was going to take one of them. only it appears that france had not actually agreed to that and saw italy's announcements of a way of trying to force it into accepting this deal. france then relented and said they would exceptionally allow the ship to dock, it docked this morning in toulon in southern france but the french government has said that italy refusing to allow its

entrance was shameful and would lead to very serious consequences. there is this explosive row between the two and caught in the middle of the migrants who have been trying to flee libya. brute migrants who have been trying to flee lib a. ~ , ., �* migrants who have been trying to flee lib a. ~ ,., �* , flee libya. we shouldn't lose sight, ou are flee libya. we shouldn't lose sight, you are right _ flee libya. we shouldn't lose sight, you are right to _ flee libya. we shouldn't lose sight, you are right to make _ flee libya. we shouldn't lose sight, you are right to make the _ flee libya. we shouldn't lose sight, you are right to make the point - flee libya. we shouldn't lose sight, you are right to make the point of. you are right to make the point of what this is all about. it is about people and their lives and where they end up living those lives as a result of fleeing. butjust in terms of what the two governments are doing, they are both members of the european union, there are common agreements in terms of the handling of migrants, aren't there? it's the dublin convention and all of that. how is this playing out in terms of brussels because presumably this is very awkward for brussels. it has been trying to encourage the sharing of migrants across the continent. well, it has but the italian says the attempts to share the burden have been inadequate. giorgia meloni this morning said that italy has had

almost 90,000 migrants arriving at this year while the example this ngo rescue bow is the first that france has ever welcomed in and there were 23a on board. the numbers they have come to the other parts of european union are far lower than those who have come to the frontier countries. italy has long argued that his unfairly fronted the burden of migration. this is domestic politics because here we have a new right—wing government led by a far right—wing government led by a far right prime minister, giorgia meloni who campaigned on clamping down on illegal migration and they want to please their base here and migration is a low hanging fruit, an easy opportunity to do that. also there is domestic politics in france because president micron is facing the pressure from marie le pen from the pressure from marie le pen from the far right. she tweeted that by allowing this ngo boat to dock in france it showed a dramatic laxity from president macron, who is

allowing massive migration into france. there are several layers to this, it is very complicated and the result is this is this row. some breaking news now, afp is reporting that the crypto currency platform ftx has gone bankrupt in the us and the boss is reported to have resigned. just the background to this, you may remember ftx went into serious difficultyjust a few days ago when it suddenly hit by a significant number of rituals and it had to go pleading for help from its main rivals who agreed to support ftx. but the platform itself is now gone under and that is sent

something of a shock wave through crypto currency area of the economy and those who trading crypto currency of it. the report here, there is other news on this, say the chief executive resigned. triggering what could be one of the biggest meltdown ever seen in the crypto currency industry. it is not an old industry of course but this is a platform that was trying to strike out the new territory, create an environment in which crypto currency could be freely traded. lots of big names invested in it, lots of big companies are investing on this platform so a lot of people have got their fingers burnt. platform so a lot of people have got theirfingers burnt. now a court in scotland... a court in scotland has ruled that a man who claimed he was a victim of mistaken identity is the suspect in a series of sex crimes in the united states. the us authorities say that nicholas rossi had multiple aliases and had faked his own death before

going on the run to escape prosecution. this report from our scotland correspondent lorna gordon reports contains flashing images. is this nicholas rossi, a fugitive from justice who faked his own death, or as he claims, arthur knight, a victim of mistaken identity? i'm arthur knight. and this is my wife, miranda knight. now, coverage you can count on. the man prosecuted... in america, where mr rossi is wanted by the authorities, the hearing has been making headlines. the court in edinburgh has heard fantastical claims. the 35—year—old said there was an extensive plot to frame him and that he had been given distinctive tattoos matching those on mr rossi while he was lying unconscious in a hospital in glasgow receiving treatment for covid. thejudge disagreed and said the claims were implausible and fanciful. i am ultimately satisfied on the balance of probabilities by the evidence of fingerprints, photographic, and to evidence taken together, supported by the evidence of changes of name that mr knight

is indeed nicholas rossi, the person sought for extradition by the united states. a woman rossi was found guilty of assaulting while a student in ohio described him as a liar and said she was convinced throughout as to his true identity. his eyes and just that dark hair, the hands, you know, i remember those hands, you know, because they assaulted me, they violated me. i mean, to me, i didn't have a doubt. he is trying to fool everybody and i am glad so many people see through it. rossi is facing multiple sex crimes charges in the united states, charges he denies. these have been legal proceedings that nicholas rossi with his extraordinary claims and eccentric behaviour has attempted to turn into a circus.

they have been more twists in this than in many works of fiction. with his identity confirmed, rossi will now face the next extradition hearing when scottish courts will decide whether to send him back to the united states to stand trial on the allegations against him. lorna gordon, bbc news, edinburgh. the united states has promised to step up its efforts to seize superyachts and other assets held by russian businessmen with links to the kremlin. 0ur diplomatic correspondent james landale reports. for years many russian billionaires lived a life of luxury in the west in their palatial villas and their lavish super yachts. but when russia invaded ukraine, well, much of that came to an end as the west hit back with unprecedented sanctions against those with links to the kremlin. we are joining with european allies to find and seize their yachts, their luxury apartments, their private jets. we are coming for your

ill—gotten gains. the us set up a new task force to do the work and the prosecutor in charge has given a rare interview with bbc our world, promising a new wave of arrests and asset seizures, using techniques first deployed against the mafia. it is a priority for us to look at facilitators. we think about money launderers, that is the next wave that will be coming down the pike. you can expect to see handcuffs in the coming weeks and months. for the first time andrew adams describes how the us seized a superyacht worth an estimated $325 million, which they say is owned by a sanctioned russian oligarch. the amadea is a massive yacht, even among mega yachts is a luxury villa that floats on the water. it has dozens of rooms, it has swimming pools and chandeliers. it has dining rooms that dwarf most people's dining rooms.

in spring as the us team investigated who paid the bills, amedea had quietly slipped its moorings in the caribbean. we saw it scrambling out of waters where we would normally be able to seize it. it became critical when it turned off its transponder, so the boat tried to go dark. it headed west to the pacific until it was discovered en route to fiji. welcoming them there at the port, the fijian authorities acting on behalf of the united states government in an effort to actually seize and detain the yacht. its ownership is now disputed. the us authorities say the yacht belongs to this man, suleyman kerimov, a sanctioned russian billionaire and senator. mr kerimov said in a statement to the bbc that the ownership of the yacht was denied and unproven. so the us now plans to prove in court that amedea, here in a dock in san diego, was bought by mr kerimov in breach of us sanctions. they then plan to sell the yacht and give the proceeds

to ukraine, sending a message to other sanctioned oligarchs. your assets are not safe in countries you don't want to be spending your time in. you can try to move the boat across the ocean but we will still come and grab it and you and your assets will continue to be chased around the world. james landale, bbc news. a0 years on from the falklands war, a group of veterans have returned to the islands for the first time to mark remembrance sunday. more than 250 british military personnel died in the conflict, which was the culmination of the long—standing dispute with argentina over the sovereignty of the falkland islands. 0ur defence correspondent jonathan beale reports from the falklands. san carlos bay today, a picture of peace and tranquility. but a0 years ago, this was known as bomb alley, with argentine jets attacking

a british task force sent to liberate these islands on the other side of the world. you see that really grainy footage now, but it takes you right back. planes screaming through here and everybodyjust shooting at it. it was wild. gary marshall and mark white were here in may 1982 in the first wave of the assault. this is the first time they've returned, and it's bringing back painful memories. they came over the hill, two pucaras, and dropped the bombs onto the actual refrigeration plant. we lost quite a few guys in that and one of them was aaron's uncle paul. he was wounded during the attack and he subsequently died of his wounds on the 10th ofjune, you know, four days before the end of the actual conflict itself. so, sad.

some of their comrades who never came back, never lived to tell the tale, now lie in this small cemetery. jackie giffin has come to remember her brother. brett patrick giffin was one of the first casualties of the war, killed when his helicopter was shot down. he was buried at sea. there is no grave forjackie to visit. for her, there'll always be a void. but this trip has provided comfort. coming here and meeting people, ex—soldiers that were there, has meant an awful lot because it was real. and they say, "oh, i know him and i knew him," and "oh, i remember the gazelles went down," and, yeah. so that's very sort of reassuring. very comforting in a strange way. the distance of time may have made these islands even more remote to many, but the british forces who fought

here are still living with this conflict, a war which, though painful, they still believe was just. jonathan beale, bbc news, the falkland islands. to egypyt now where the cop27 climate summit which is under way. were expecting joe biden to address the gathering sometime in the next hour we will bring that to you as soon as it happens. scientists are telling the conference today that carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuels, the main driver of climate change, are on track to reach an all—time high this year. among the factors to blame — a rebound in air travel after the pandemic — and increased burning of coal because of the soaring cost of gas — as a result of the war in ukraine. but are we making enough of the potential for the investments in clean energy and other climate friendly initiatives? i'm joined now from cop27 by danny alexander — vice president for policy and strategy at the asian

infrastructure investment bank and a former chief secretary to the uk treasury. during the five years of the coalition government for 20202015, george osborne's enforcer during austerity. what are we not doing that we should be doing in terms of maximising the potential for investment in climate friendly technology? we investment in climate friendly technology?— technology? we are not yet delivering _ technology? we are not yet delivering the _ technology? we are not yet delivering the finance - technology? we are not yet delivering the finance at - technology? we are not yet| delivering the finance at the technology? we are not yet - delivering the finance at the volume and scale that is needed in order to ensure that we meet the 1.5 degrees goal that was the main focus of cop26 in glasgow last year. a multilateral development bank was sent up in 2016, we have 105 countries around the world. we are rapidly scaling finance with a focus on renewable and clean energy,

particularly in countries in asia and beyond where of delivering the project up huge. i think multilateral development banks like the aib have a major role to play to ensure that we reach the scale that is needed to achieve the carbon dioxide mitigation to meet those goals. dioxide mitigation to meet those coals. ~ dioxide mitigation to meet those oals, ~' y., ., dioxide mitigation to meet those coals. ~ i., ., ., dioxide mitigation to meet those coals. ,, ., ., dioxide mitigation to meet those oals. ~ ., ., ., goals. the bank you are a part of has a commitment _ goals. the bank you are a part of has a commitment i _ goals. the bank you are a part of has a commitment i think- goals. the bank you are a part of has a commitment i think that i goals. the bank you are a part of. has a commitment i think that half of the projectprojects it finances will be for climate friendly initiatives by 2025. so within a couple of years. how close are you to that now? how big a gap you got close? �* �* . to that now? how big a gap you got close? . �* ., ., ., ., , close? the aib, we aim for at least 5096 of our — close? the aib, we aim for at least 5096 of our finances _ close? the aib, we aim for at least 5096 of our finances to _ close? the aib, we aim for at least 5096 of our finances to be _ close? the aib, we aim for at least 5096 of our finances to be for - 50% of our finances to be for climate finance by 2025. last year the number was a8% so we're getting

close but we don't see 50% as a ceiling we see it as the threshold that we have to reach. so if we can do more we certainly will. and of course aib is growing as a bank, we are growing every year, doing projects in more of our member countries. so i think there are a lot of opportunities to expand further beyond that, beyond 2025. we think that through the course of this decade we should be able to commit $50 billion to climate finance projects.— commit $50 billion to climate finance projects. commit $50 billion to climate finance ro'ects. ., ., ., finance projects. you say you are a multilateral— finance projects. you say you are a multilateral development - finance projects. you say you are a multilateral development bank, i finance projects. you say you are a multilateral development bank, is| multilateral development bank, is part of the problem here that this is in area policy that the governments regard jealously and the idea of actually pulling it and sharing it and doing it through another institution that they don't control might not be so attractive? i think that may have been the case in the past but actually it has been very interesting here that a lot of

the focus has been on how can multilateral development banks scale up multilateral development banks scale up theirfinance mum and i think this is the critical part, how can we use our finance to help support much greater investment in the private sector? i think that is the big challenge. how can we use our public capital to help bring in more private sector finance? the aib that is a key goal a lot about investment is a key goal a lot about investment is in private sets of projects or initiatives to help projects to mobilise more. i think there is a lot of support for the role of multilateral development banks, a central role that we must play to ensure that we are on track. the vice president _ ensure that we are on track. the vice president for _ ensure that we are on track. the vice president for the asia infrastructure and development bank. thanks for talking to us. if

afternoon. it's extraordinarily mild out there so much so that it doesn't feel like november. this is a reason why a powerfuljet feel like november. this is a reason why a powerful jet stream that wins high in the atmosphere blowing at more than 200 mph to the western side of the uk and that has been bringing up some really very warm airfor the very warm air for the times of year washing wafting that towards our shore. last night was the warmest november night on record for northern ireland and scotland with temperatures staying above a0 in celsius in some places. but, across the north west of scotland we have seen relentless rain, over the last few days some places of theme 200 millilitres of rain. some weather affecting northern ireland, strong and gusty winds particularly gusty in the south—east of scotland. further south across england and wales the cloud breaking from time to time. temperature is widely 16 or

17 celsius. north—east scotland round 19. through this evening and overnight we will see this band of cloud and patchy rain affecting parts of northern ireland. and actually rather chilly. even further south, it is not going to be quite as mild as it was last night. that said, temperatures through the weekend will stay above where they should be for this time of year, high pressure over the near continent. that will allow for a lot of dry weather but still this frontal system moving back northwards so we will see more rain for a time on saturday across the north west of scotland. we should see more in the way of sunshine developing after any early fog in the south. southern parts will see the south. southern parts will see the highest temperatures up to 18 celsius. maybejust the highest temperatures up to 18 celsius. maybe just a the highest temperatures up to 18 celsius. maybejust a little bit cooler than today across parts of scotland. in similar ember on sunday we could see some fog patches in the eastern scotland. most places will be fine and dry with spells of sunshine. we will see a frontal

system bringing rain into ireland later in the day. still mild but as you are into the week there's temperatures are set to drop closer to where they should be for the time of year and we will see wind and rain at times.

this is bbc news. the headlines... head of operation have confirmed that they have entered the strategic city of kherson. here the economy shrank by 0.3%. anjeremy hunt warns of a tough ahead. and joe biden will be arriving at the cop27, in the next half hour we will be live at sharm el—sheikh. and nhs england spent £3 billion on locums doctors,

nurses and agency staff to fill holes in rotors last year. and ft x files for bankruptcy in the united states. the boss has resigned. however, good afternoon. we begin with our aching news from southern ukraine. resident city of kherson, reporting that all troops have left. a member of the local ruling council said ukraine had pushed out or killed members of the occupation

force — though he warned some may be hiding after failing to escape. russia's defence ministry said all of its troops were successfully withdrawn. 30,000 in total, is said. video from inside kherson shows ukrainian flags being raised above government monuments and buildings. remember, this is only officially annexed by russia in september. and here — locals greet soldiers and reporters as ukrainian troops moved into settlemets abandoned by the russian occupying force. russia says it's moving to new defensive positions on the other side of the dnipro river but that pull back may have been costly. the main bridge out of kherson has been partially destroyed, but accounts differ as to who was responsible. you can see the huge gap in the middle of it, it didn't happen by accident, i think we can be sure of that. russian troops say they destroyed it after withdrawing, however witnesses suggest some russian soldiers remain on the west bank of the river and are coming under attack from ukrainian forces as they attempt to cross. 0ur correspondent catherine byaru hanga

was in kyiv with the latest. the news from southern ukraine is definitely moving very fast today. we heard earlier today, just a few hours ago from the minister of defence in moscow saying troops had withdrawn from kherson city earlier today. this is a major, major defeat for the russian armed forces. it was the only regional capital they held in ukraine. now, the ukrainian army is confirming that its soldiers are within kherson city and i am joined now by the adviser to the ministry of defence. what do you know about what is happening in kherson right now? we understand it from the defence intelligence of the ukrainian defence ministry that indeed, some units of the ukrainian army are gradually entering kherson city. we understand the russians are leaving. we also understand that some of their troops are still in the city. it seems like they have been left

behind by their own, which is not uncommon for russians, they do leave theirown behind. apparently, they are taking off their military uniforms, throwing them in the garbage bins and trying to mix in with the local population, fearful for their lives. our call to them is surrender, and don't do any provocation, because we are of course, emotionally very motivated to continue the offensive and we are happy with the way it is going, but at the same time we understand the russians are capable of provocation, so everything we do now is based on careful planning and assessment of risk, both for servicemen and civilian populations. we are hearing from some witnesses in kherson that some of the russian soldiers left behind are coming under attack. how will you treat any russian soldiers that are still stuck in kherson? i would like to repeat something that i have said so many times to the world.

the ukrainian army is a civilised army which abides laws and geneva convention. national regulation prescribe prestigious and rights of the soldiers should have been informed about them, if you want to save your life, you should surrender. this is a procedure that is regulated and everyone who will surrender and give up their arms will be treated accordingly with the geneva conventions. if they choose the other way, you know, the consequences could be different. we are now in a position where russia is going to move or has moved its troops across dnipro river and it gives them a great defensive position. how will you mount any attacks against the russians with the destroyed bridges, boats crossing the river being destroyed, how will you take them now?

all the tactical and strategic plans for the ukrainian army of course are made by the general staff of the ukrainian armed forces and they never reveal them in advance. because you don't want to give away information to the enemy that could jeopardise your military operations. of course, the fact that they have destroyed the bridges, the fact they have ruined the infrastructure will make things more difficult, and there is winter coming, so that will also be a factor. but i am convinced that our military planning will be still on a good level, the way we did in kyiv, khakiv and other places, to continue our offensive because our objective remains unchanged. we will liberate our land and restore the cities, including crimea. this is a momentous moment

for ukraine that has managed to take this important strategic city in the south. it is an important and difficult protracted conflict for the country. thank you very much. let's talk now to the chief executive of the strategic risk advisory firm sibylline, justin crump. a defence and security expert with 20 years service for the british military behind him. let me ask you first of all, how would you read what has happened today? should we read as a victory by ukraine and a defeat for russia or is it more complicated? i defeat for russia or is it more complicated?— defeat for russia or is it more comlicated? ,, , ., , complicated? ithink it is, as ever, more complicated _ complicated? ithink it is, as ever, more complicated and _ complicated? ithink it is, as ever, more complicated and what - complicated? ithink it is, as ever, more complicated and what i - complicated? ithink it is, as ever,| more complicated and what i would highlight is that it is a difficult operation that has been discussed to withdraw across the river in this situation, so all eyes were on how the russians achieve this objective, did they take massive losses, did

they lose equipment or was it a well executed operation that tells them about the ongoing capability of the russian side. it is confusing at the moment. there were reports, and it is likely that the russians are saying that they didn't leave persons or equipment behind. that is unlikely. i think the russians will graze that, say they had to make the strategic move. we did it well as the military, shows our power, despite it being technically a step back, ukrainians euphoric celebration of the only capital they had lost. it is a victory and it is to see how well the russian forces did not. �* , to see how well the russian forces did not. �* ., did not. and when i spoke to the head of uk _ did not. and when i spoke to the head of uk command _ did not. and when i spoke to the head of uk command suggested | did not. and when i spoke to the - head of uk command suggested that the focus now shifts to donbas. is that also your impression? the

reason for _ that also your impression? the reason for that _ that also your impression? tie: reason for that withdrawal is that since august, their military recognise that holding the far bank of the river was unsustainable. they were going towards 0desa, their original objective. they came under pressure, it was hard to reinforce there and they had to come back, really. holding behind the river is a much better way to shore up their front line there, it shows they are going on the defensive. but troops are freed, they have been taken out of the kherson area, the better troops could now be recruited elsewhere. and there remains northern donbas, whereas in kherson himself, they have always left that bit vague. so all of that is considered by them as russian territory, so as to be a priority. this will be the first winter of war in ukraine if the conflict continues, which i think both sides are assuming it well. how will that change the dynamic? i sagr

are assuming it well. how will that change the dynamic?— change the dynamic? i say it's the first winter— change the dynamic? i say it's the first winter of _ change the dynamic? i say it's the first winter of this _ change the dynamic? i say it's the first winter of this conflict, - change the dynamic? i say it's the first winter of this conflict, but - first winter of this conflict, but it has gone on for eight years. we know roughly what to expect in winter defensive positions, they have been doing it since 201a. it is without doubt, harder to operate due to weather at the moment. that is just because it is wet, snow is out, it is hard for drones to operate. we will see more of that in the winter with cold conditions making it hard to fight. the british military trains in the arctic precisely because it is a very hard environment to survive and if you can do it there, you can do it anywhere. so it is a more extreme environment and it needs more planning, logistics and thought to achieve things in the winter. it doesn't mean there won't be an offensive operation, it willjust be a lot more effort and more difficult to mount. the russian plan overall seems to be to hold on to starve out

the ukrainians and western support if they can, they have the midterms in the us for that, and also damage ukrainian infrastructure. so shifting into the new mode of fighting, keeping the pressure on ukraine and try to hold on to what they have got and build up their forces over winter.— they have got and build up their forces over winter. justin trump, chief executive. _ forces over winter. justin trump, chief executive. thank _ forces over winter. justin trump, chief executive. thank you - forces over winter. justin trump, chief executive. thank you for i chief executive. thank you for speaking with us. our economy which shrank betweenjuly and september, confirming what many economists and the bank of england believe to be the start of a recession. it contracted by 0.2 % — as households and businesses were hit by soaring prices, higher energy bills and rising interest rates. britain is not officially in recession yet — that happens when the economy shrinks for two three—month periods in a row. in the previous three months — april tojune — the economy saw growth of 0.2 %. but it's expected that we will have gone

into recession by the end of the year — and the bank of england has already predicted it could be the longest on record. here's our business correspondent andy verity. this manufacturer in walsall in the black country makes harnesses and cables for ambulances, cars and electric vehicles. it's a growth business thatjust opened its second factory, but it's struggling with the cost of components and raw materials, which has been surging one of the reasons business is being held back. obviously we need customer support and we work with the customers, but actually we look within. so look at our efficiencies, look at the opportunities we've got to increase output. an increase in output might mean we only stand still, but actually in the current climate that is the best possible outcome. so how is this going? with much of the world economy slowing, the car makers who make up this company's customers saw a sharp reduction in business, with the manufacturing sector down by 2.3% over the summer, the sharpest drop in overfour decades. all subsectors of manufacturing fell in the quarter three, and that didn't even happen at the height of the pandemic.

and actually, you have to go back to the 1980s for the last time that happened — so over 40 years ago. and what they are telling us is they are struggling with price pressures, global supply chains and labour supply. normally, if you enter a recession, that means households and businesses spending less and governments tend to try and offset that by spending more themselves or central banks cut interest rates. but this time preoccupied with inflation, they're doing the opposite. the government's reining in its spending and the central bank's raising interest rates. many economists fear that could make this recession worse than it would otherwise be. as the post—brexit uk economy shrank by 0.2% in the third quarter, it began what's forecast to be the longest recession in 100 years, as the only one of the g7 group of advanced economies that still hadn't recovered to its pre—pandemic level. well, according to the international monetary fund, around a third of the world's economy is in recession this year or will be in recession next year. and that is principally,

but not entirely because of very high global energy prices. we are not immune to that in the uk. and what we need is, is a plan that shows how we're going to get through this difficult period. the tax giveaways by the conservatives in their last budget caused huge damage, but so have the last 12 years of a stagnant economy with barely any economic growth. so we need to stabilise the economy but then have a plan for growth. what counts in any party's plans is what the top priority is. if it's to boost the public finances and head off inflation with spending cuts or higher taxes on top of higher interest rates, that may not be compatible with the other aim all parties say they share to make the recession as short and shallow as possible. joining us now is clive watson, the founder of the city pub company. thank you very much for talking to

us. it has been a roller—coasterfor hospitality business over the last few years, not least because of covid—19. and now the economy more generally. christmas is usually a very good season for your colleagues and contemporaries, other pub companies. how is it looking at the moment? it companies. how is it looking at the moment? , moment? it is looking quite good, actuall . moment? it is looking quite good, actually- a — moment? it is looking quite good, actually- a lot _ moment? it is looking quite good, actually. a lot of _ moment? it is looking quite good, actually. a lot of officers _ moment? it is looking quite good, actually. a lot of officers have - actually. a lot of officers have realised that to encourage people back to work, they have got to throw office parties. so we are seeing a much bigger, compared to last year, a much more encouraging response. the spend per head, having said that is not going up in line with inflation. the spend side is very cautious, but at least officers are coming back and booking out christmas parties. haifa coming back and booking out christmas parties. coming back and booking out christmas arties. ., . ., ., christmas parties. how much of a hit are hospitality _ christmas parties. how much of a hit are hospitality businesses _ christmas parties. how much of a hit are hospitality businesses taking - christmas parties. how much of a hit are hospitality businesses taking in l are hospitality businesses taking in terms of pricing? it is are hospitality businesses taking in terms of pricing?— terms of pricing? it is massive. enera , terms of pricing? it is massive. energy. which _

amount of drinking all year round, butjanuary, february, march is a very quiet period, though shortage downs, are you hearing pubs are planning to close up during those months? more than perhaps would normally be the case. unfortunately, some ubs normally be the case. unfortunately, some pubs will— normally be the case. unfortunately, some pubs will close.. _ normally be the case. unfortunately, some pubs will close.. they - normally be the case. unfortunately, some pubs will close.. they will - some pubs will close.. they will just get through christmas. they willjust just get through christmas. they will just get just get through christmas. they willjust get through christmas. others, like your saying will restrict trading hours to limit costs, pubs won't open kitchen to save electricity costs on things like that. it is going to be a very difficult time for many of us. especially the smaller pubs. where the leases, the renting of the landlords, while christmas is good for them, they don't get the big bounce with the size of the pops, so i think it will be very tough for those smaller pubs. in a i think it will be very tough for those smaller pubs.—

senior department official seeing you instead of a minister, you know things are not good. a senior diplomat on behalf of the republic of iran, has been summoned based on a series of threats made against journalist in the uk. the nhs is spending billions of pounds each year on freelance doctors, nurses and other health workers — often paying premium rates to fill vacancies. an investigation by the bbc found that this type of spending is increasing dramatically across the uk. last year agency staff cost £3 billion in england alone. that's the same cost as hiring around 50,000 full time nurses. here's our health reporter chloe hayward. we have had to use more agency staff, unfortunately, and that comes with a cost. hospitals around england are struggling to fill rotas. we have seen an increase in people leaving. there's no doubt that one of the reasons is around more money. with wards already full, more doctors and nurses are needed,

and expensive agency workers are often the only way to fill staffing gaps. we're all fishing in a relatively shallow pool of staff, so until we address the longer term challenges around workforce, it's always going to be a bit hand—to—mouth. 0n the ward in colchester hospital... i will be responsible for staffing for the whole of the site today. ..andy is in charge of filling rotas and knows these challenges all too well. yesterday, as an example, i thought my emergency department was nice and safe for the evening and a couple of hours before we had a couple of people call in sick and then immediately that changes things. overall, the nhs in england spent more than £3 billion on agency staff in the last year. that's up 20% on the year before. and agency spending is also rising in other parts of the uk. in scotland, it has doubled in the past year, while in wales it has risen by over a0%. in northern ireland it is four times higher than it was three years ago. with so many hospital budgets already very stretched, difficult

decisions are now being made. i think the nhs has been trying to find greater efficiencies for a long, long time. but when i talk to clinical leaders, they're really, really nervous that they're going to have to make some really hard choices if they're going to stay in their budgets. and those hard choices will be things like reducing the number of staff they use. 0r reducing the number of beds that they have in hospital. and you can see those are really going to have an impact on the quality and access to patient care. improving staff retention could play a key part when it comes to reducing agency spend. so now trusts around the country are taking steps such as improving rota flexibility, offering wellbeing sessions and launching mental health days. but for now, it ultimately comes down to flexibility and money. a junior doctor can triple his hourly rate if he works for agency versus being on an nhs contract. i wouldn't consider taking the shift if it wasn't paying the market rate, which would be around £50 to £60.

i'd absolutely love to go back to being a staff member. it's mainly about the pay. sometimes you'll only be able to book a shift for two, three, four days a week. and you'll be very transient in the department. you won't know who the consultants are, the other members of staff, and it can sometimes affect the working dynamic, because you're just seen as a replaceable agency worker. the department of health says a long—term workforce plan is coming, but for now, nhs trusts around england are left with little choice but to allocate more and more of their budgets on paying growing staff bills rather than providing front line services. chloe hayward, bbc news. we were going to talk to hugh penn, but i'm afraid we will have to interrupt him tojoin president biden in sharm el—sheikh. sorry about this. pelosi, members of the congress and

people who had travelled from the united states, and fellow leaders. it is an honour to be at this critical summit. it is an honour to be at this criticalsummit. i it is an honour to be at this critical summit. i would like to thank our host for bringing us together at this critical moment. thank you, mr president. applause let me start by acknowledging that this day is a day of commemoration at home in the united states. it is veterans day. america's veterans and their families survivors and caregivers are the very spine and soul of the united states and other special day, on every day, i honour all those who sacrificed for our nation like my son. i want to thank one proud american veteran, a lifelong public servant, dearfriend and literally the most decorated man to fight, the special convoy for

climate, john kerry. john. applause john... applause john, your commitment, your passion and diplomatic expertise have been absolutely critical, absolutely critical to delivering the incredible progress on climate issues in the past two years and i thank you for being my friend. here in egypt, the great pyramids and artefacts stand as a testimony to millennia of ingenuity. we see our mission to avert climate catastrophe and sees a new clean energy economy not only as an imperative for a future, but through the eyes of history, according to the world meteorological organisation, the past eight years have been the warmest on record. the united states, in the united states, we are

seeing historic drought, wildfires in the west. devastating hurricane is an storms in the east. here in africa, here in africa, home to many nations, considered most vulnerable to climate change, food insecurity, hunger follows four years of intense drought in the horn of africa. and meanwhile, in west africa, the river is swollen, swollen because of more intense rainfall and is wreaking habit on fishing and farming communities. in nigeria, flooding has recently killed 600 people. 1.3 million more are diff place. seasonal livestock migration routes have been used for hundreds of years are being altered, increasing the risk of conflict between herders and local farming risk of conflict between herders and localfarming communities. climate local farming communities. climate crisis localfarming communities. climate crisis is about human security.

economic security. environmental security. national security. and the very life of the planet. and today, i would like to show you how the united states is meeting the climate crisis with urgency and determination to ensure cleaner, safer and healthier planet for all of us. applause from my first days in office, my administration has led with a bold agenda to address the climate crisis and increase energy security at home. and around the world. we immediately rejoined the agreement. we convened major climate summits to re—establish... applause i apologise we have pulled out of the agreement. we establish major

economy reform to spirit countries around the world to raise, raise their climate ambitions. last year in glasgow, the united states help deliver critical commitments and we will get two thirds of the world gbp on track to limit global warning to 1.5 celsius. 0ver on track to limit global warning to 1.5 celsius. over the past two years, the united states is delivered on unprecedented progress at home, through generational investment and upgrading the nation's infrastructure, remaking our power grid better able to use renewable energy, expanding transport with rail, electrical charging stations, over 50000 and this summer, the united states congress and i signed the law on the proposalfor congress and i signed the law on the proposal for the congress and i signed the law on the proposalfor the biggest and most important climate bill in the history of our country, the inflation reduction act.

applause it includes less than i asked for, but a significant amount. $368 million. that is to support clean electricity. everything from onshore and offshore wind to distributed solar. zero emissions vehicles and sustainable aviation fuels. more clean electrified back processes and manufacturing. 0ur department of energy estimates that the new law will reduce emissions of the united states by about 1 will reduce emissions of the united states by about1 billion tonnes in 2030, while unleashing a new era of clean energy power and economic growth. 0ur investments in technology, from electric batteries to hydrogen will spark a cycle of innovation which will reduce the

cost and improve the performance of clean energy technology that will be available to the nations worldwide, not just the available to the nations worldwide, notjust the united states. we are going to help... we are going to help make the transition to a low carbon future more affordable for everyone, accelerate the carbonation beyond our borders, in fact, the international energy agency recently concluded that our significant climate investment will help turbo—charge the, sorry, turbo—charge the, sorry, turbo—charge the, sorry, turbo—charge the emerging global clean energy economy. i was reading the quote, sorry. laughter it will shift the paradigms for the united states and the entire world. it also ratifies the commitment to rally the welding phase down the production and consumption of hfc

is, greenhouse gases and they are thousands of times were damaging the carbon dioxide and just yesterday, the united states became the first government to require that our major federal suppliers disclose their emissions and climate risk and set targets themselves are in line with the paris agreement. as the world's largest customer, $615 billion in spending last year, united state's government is putting our money where our mouth is strengthen accountability for climate risk and accountability. we are locking in... delivering lower cost for clean energy, sparing good paying unionjobs for american paying union jobs for american workers paying unionjobs for american workers and advancing environmental justice in our communities. folks, approving a good climate policy is

good economic policy. it is a strong foundation for adorable, good economic policy. it is a strong foundation foradorable, resilient foundation for adorable, resilient and foundation foradorable, resilient and inclusive economic growth. it is striving progress in the private sector and around the world. and the sum total of the action is my administration is taking puts the united states on track to achieve our paris aggrieved —— my agreement goal by 2030. let me just take a moment to emphasise how meaningful it is i can say that. i introduced the first piece of climate legislation way back in 1986, 36 years ago. my commitment to this issue has been and wavered. today, finally thanks to the actions we have taken i can stand here as

president of the united states of america in a state of confidence that the united states of america will meet our admission targets by 2030. -- will meet our admission targets by 2030. —— emissions targets. we are doing our part to revert the climate hell that we were warned about earlier this week. we are not ignored in things that already here. it is true so many disasters, climate crisis is facing hardest those countries and communities have the fewest resources to respond and recover. that is why last year i committed to work with our congress quadruple us support to provide 11 billion dollars annually including $3 billion. that is why the fund emergency plan for adaptation and

resilience prepare we call it, to help more than a half a billion people in developing countries respond to climate change. we have already requested more than 2 billion for the prepare this year. we are going to fight to see this and our other climate objectives are fully funded today, as a down payment, we are announcing $150 million in initiatives that specifically support prepare's adaptation efforts throughout africa. including adaptation in africa, and effort that you jet in the united states launched together in june, the united states launched together injune, is the united states launched together in june, is a the united states launched together injune, is a support for expanding early warning system to help other africa, broadening support to climate finance. strengthening fisa security, mobilising the private sector and supporting new training centre in egypt to accelerate adaptation across the continent. my

administration is also making the united states the first ever contributor to the adaptation fund last year and this year we are doubling our pledge to bring in our total commitment to $100 million. we are also making sure that every dollar we deliver goes as far as possible, unlocking larger pools of finance and the trillions in private investment that we know that will be needed. folks, we are also supporting the global shield, g7 initiative to better support vulnerable countries everywhere and quickly respond to climate —related damages. and the g7 led partnership for global infrastructure and investment is working to meet the critical infrastructure needs in low—income countries with specific on climate. the project will

facilitate will build on transparency, partnership and protections for workers and the environment. 0ne protections for workers and the environment. one of the many projects already under way is a partnership between american firms in the government of mongolia, to invest $2 billion building building new solar projects in angola. climber agitation in africa is working towards energy transmission thatjust means creating good jobs, sparing inclusive economic growth and leaving no one behind as we implement on sustainable development goals. folks, i know this has been a difficult few years, the interconnected challenge we face can feel all consuming and the up heave or we're seeing all around the world especially russia's brutal of ukraine is exacerbating resources

and increasing volatility on those energy markets, driving up global inflation. against this backdrop, it is more urgent than ever that we double down on our climate commitments, russia's war only enhances the urgency of the need to transition the world off its dependence on fossil fuels, true energy security means every nation is benefiting from clean diversified energy future. no action can be taken without a nation of understanding that we can use energy as a weapon and hold the global economy hostage. so this gathering must be the moment to recommit our future and our shared capacity to write a better story for the world. let's build on our global climate progress, raising ambitions and the speed of our efforts. the science is

devastatingly clear, we have to make vital progress by the end of this decade and that is why the united states is rallying the world around climate game changers. i launched one such game changer last year at the european commission president, a global methadone pledge. we started with eu and eight other countries. now more than 130 countries have signed on to cover modelling half of the global methadone emissions. methane is 18 times more potent than carbon and accounts for nearly half of the net warming that we are experiencing now. so cutting methane by at least 20% by 2030 can be our best chance to keep within reach of 1.5 celsius target. today, we are

releasing an updated methylene reduction plan which lays out how the united states is meeting applied. we are investing more than $20 billion in domestic methane litigation to do things like cap wells, leaking methylene, improving industrial improvement to reduce emissions. it also lays out strong regulatory actions including the new proposal from regulatory actions including the new proposalfrom our regulatory actions including the new proposal from our environmental protection agency to strengthen standards on methane across sectors. especially, from super emitters, just to make sure it is not released on the community is impacting on public health. all told, the steps to reduce us methane emissions from sources by 87% below the levels of 2005 by 2030. folks, another game

changer, is conserving our natural environment. whether it's a congo basis, or the amazon based in south america. our basis, or the amazon based in south america. 0urforests, grasslands in the united states, preserving nature is one of the most impactful climate solutions that we have. some the indigenous people, who have communities who have known these efforts for a long time, they have known it. here in cop27, we are co—chairing forest and climate partnership to deliver rapid strides to halt deforestation. the we don't have to develop new technologies, we just have to make clear that forests are more valuable when they are them when they are destroyed. it's that basic.

and those who are able should be chipping in to help those countries preserve those forests. we are bringing together partners across the public and private sector to put healthy ecosystem at the heart of healthy ecosystem at the heart of healthy economies. this is going to take all of us, it could take all of us. we need to harness our capacity to tackle emissions and economic sectors like international shipping. if the shipping sector or a stand—alone economy it would rank as the tenth largest admitted in the world. so together, with norway the united states has launched the green shipping, we have seen dozens of commitments from governments as well of ports and private companies to facilitate green shipping cartons and align the sector with the 1.5 degrees goal. if we can accelerate

actions on these game changers, we can reach our goal, we can keep it within reach as well. but to permanently benzene emissions curve, every nation has to step up. we must renew and raise our climate ambitions. the united states is acting, everyone has to act. to do it in responsibility of global leadership, countries are in a position to help should be supporting developing countries so they can make decisive climate decisions. facilitating the energy transitions, building a path to prosperity and compatible with our climate imperative. if countries can finance call in developing countries there is no reason why we can't finance clean energy in developing countries. i am pleased to announce

today, alongside the european union and germany, $500 million package to finance and facilitate eejit's to clean energy. —— you eygpt. reducing emissions in each and the power sector by 10%. we also work with you jet to capture nearly 1a billion cubic metres of natural gas which currently lea ks from cubic metres of natural gas which currently leaks from its oil and gas operations. because of this cooperation, egypt is elevating its climate and enhancing its contributions. we are going to win this fight, every admitting nation needs to align with the 1.5 degrees.

we can no longer plead ignorance to the consequences of our actions. 0r the consequences of our actions. or continue to repeat our mistakes, everyone has to keep accelerating efforts throughout this decade. my friends, i came in the presidency determined to make the transformational changes that are needed, that america needs to make. and we have to do for the rest of the world, to overcome decades of opposition and obstacles of progress in emissions alone. to establish the united states as a trustworthy committee leader on climate, as i stand here before you we have taken enormous strides to achieve that. but i don't stand here alone. this progress is being driven by young people all across america, like young people around the world. they feel the urgency in climber and they

feel the urgency in climber and they feel deeply. they are committed to these issues, they know the stakes and that is their world we are creating. this is not to stand by and allow us to fail in this responsibility, we can't. that is why as i look out through all the things i have accomplished there is so much more to do, i am optimistic that with all the work that remains to be done we have to put down significant markers of progress. the united states is taking steps to meet our goals, we are delivering on our promise of leadership, and more and more of the world are standing with us. through determine diplomacy is necessary in finding consensus, building understanding and launching new approaches in the —— and the inspiring passion of young people is literally galvanising the world. yes, the challenges we face are great but our capacity is greater

than the challenge. we must never doubt that. so let's reach out, take the future and our hands and make the future and our hands and make the world we wish to see, that we know we need. a plan of preserve for generations to come, an economy powered by clean, diversified clean energy sources. opportunities unlock through immigration... to deliver more equitable and diverse nation for our children. that is what we are working toward and we can do it together i am confident. thank you, thank you, thank you and god bless you all. thank you, thank you and god bless ou all. . , , thank you, thank you and god bless ou all. ., , , . ., you all. that is president joe addressing _ you all. that is president joe addressing the _ you all. that is president joe addressing the climate - you all. that is president joe - addressing the climate conference in cop27, in an environment where he is not fully on the defensive because of the better expected than

performance of the democrats in tuesday's election. there is every possibility that the democrats will regain control of the senate and that gives him a greater chance of being able to implement elements of the inflation reduction act of 2022 that he referenced there in the course of his speech. that was the kind of giant, it's got a bit of this in a bit of that but effectively it was to deal with inflected busting and climate initiations. it is to allow people to skip some of their student financing might inject some inflation into the economy, nonetheless the climate site involves £369 billion of investment involves £369 billion of investment in energy security and climate change, so again an issue about where the emphasis lies in how much of it is really strictly about

climate mitigation measures. but nonetheless, i think the president was clearly delivering an upbeat message and clearly thought he had a good story to tell on the half of his nation to the summit and obviously different approach to that of his predecessor and possible successor, donald trump. heavy showers are forecast in melbourne on sunday so organisers have had to tweak some of the scheduling rules to allow more time. a reserve day is scheduled for monday but with rain expected then too, two hours have been added to allow play later in the evening. if a ten—over—per—side match can't be played organisers say england and pakistan will be declared joint winners. let's talk to test match commentator. is it too early to call the matt? he can stephanie to early to call the match. you get one forecast and then it is morphed over the next two days, it is already unseasonable and irregular sort of forecast based on that time of year. kind based on what we are listening

international has said that we have had these threats. there are reports of a hostile iranian... who were scouting out the homes and offices where these journalists work, iran has dismissed the saying, it's ridiculous, it's absurd and it's denied it. but a senior iranian official has grounded around international as a terrorist organisation and accused it and bbc persian service of stirring up unrest in iran. they are basically, if you are looking at all of these hijab processor all over iran following the death of 22—year—old iranian woman in police custody, the resume is on the back foot and it's very difficult for news organisations, including ourselves to cover that when we haven't got journalists in the country. we don't have a bureau.— journalists in the country. we don't| have a bureau._ it have a bureau. were not allowed. it was chucked —

power base in iran, it's not the foreign office or the minister over the it's the irg c. they have some and family members, warn them that if you don't tell your son or your brother or your sister to stop to fame in the country, there will be consequences for you. there is a lot of intimidation is done already over there but it is spreading to over there but it is spreading to over there but it is spreading to overhear. the foreign office is saying enough. now it's time for a look at the weather with ben. good afternoon at extraordinary mild out there. it doesn't feel like november. we have got some rain around as well as parts of northern ireland and scotland where he has been wet for a couple of days now. gust of wind particularly around parts of scotland, temperatures peaking around 19 celsius in the north—east of scotland. generally 16, 17. very mild, unseasonably mild out there. raina passed parts of northern ireland and southern

scotland. a little drier for a time in scotland. even further south not quite as mild as it was last night. they could be some fog patches around the central and eastern parts of england. they should left angler and then actually there should be some spells of sunshine across wales and northern ireland. and then raina treating across the far north—west. temperatures around 11 to 18 celsius. it was day mild on remembrance sunday. a lot of places will be dry and we will see cloud in northern ireland later in the day.

hour with the news from southern ukraine. residents in the city of kherson are reporting that all russian troops have now left. a member of the local ruling council said ukraine had pushed out or killed members of the occupying force — though he warned some may be hiding after failing to escape. russia's defence ministry said all of its troops were successfully withdrawn. along with equipment and other essential material. video from inside kherson shows ukrainian flags being raised above government monuments and buildings. remember, it was only in september at a lavish public event in moscow that president putin announced the annexation of kherson region and three other regions as well saying they would remain russian for ever. and here — locals greet soldiers and reporters as ukrainian troops moved into settlemets abandoned by the russian occupying force. russia says it's moving to new defensive positions on the other side of the dnipro river but that pull back may have been costly. the main bridge out of kherson has been partially destroyed, but accounts differ

as to who was responsible. russian troops say they destroyed it after withdrawing, however witnesses suggest some russian soldiers remain on the west bank of the river and are coming under attack from ukrainian forces as they attempt to cross. but obviously too late for them to get over the bridge before it was destroyed. 0ur correspondent catherine byaru hanga is in kyiv with the latest. the news from southern ukraine is definitely moving very fast today. we heard earlier today, just a few hours ago from the minister of defence in moscow saying troops had withdrawn from kherson city earlier today. this is a major, major defeat for the russian armed forces. it was the only regional capital they held in ukraine. now, the ukrainian army is confirming that its soldiers are within kherson city and i am joined now by the adviser to the ministry of defence. what do you know about what is happening in kherson right now? we understand it from

the defence intelligence of the ukrainian defence ministry that indeed, some units of the ukrainian army are gradually entering kherson city. we understand that the russians are leaving. we also understand that some of their troops are still in the city. it seems like they have been left behind by their own, which is not uncommon for russians, they do leave theirown behind. these russians, apparently, they are taking off their military uniforms, throwing them in the garbage bins and trying to mix in with the local population, fearful for their lives. our call to them is surrender, and don't do any provocation, because we are of course, emotionally very motivated to continue the offensive and we are happy with the way it is going, but at the same time we understand the russians are capable of provocation, so everything we do now is based on careful planning

and assessment of risk, both for servicemen and civilian populations. we are hearing from some witnesses in kherson that some of the russian soldiers left behind are coming under attack. how will you treat any russian soldiers that are still stuck in kherson? i would like to repeat something that i have said so many times to the world. the ukrainian army is a civilised army which abides by humanitarian laws and geneva convention. national regulation prescribe prestigious and rights of the soldiers should have been informed about them, if you want to save your life, you should surrender. this is a procedure that is regulated and everyone who will surrender and give up their arms will be treated accordingly with the geneva conventions. if they choose the other way, you know, the consequences could be different. we are now in a position

where russia is going to move or has moved its troops across dnipro river and it gives them a great defensive position. how will you mount any attacks against the russians with the destroyed bridges, boats crossing the river being destroyed, how will you take them now? all the tactical and strategic plans for the ukrainian army of course are made by the general staff of the ukrainian armed forces and they never reveal them in advance. because you don't want to give away information to the enemy that could jeopardise your military operations. of course, the fact that they have destroyed the bridges, the fact they have ruined the infrastructure will make things more difficult, and there is winter coming, so that will also be a factor. but i am convinced that our military planning will be still on a good level, the way we did in kyiv, khakiv and other places, to continue our offensive

because our objective remains unchanged. we will liberate our land and restore the cities, ukrainian territory within the internationally recognised territories, which includes crimea. this is a momentous moment for ukraine that has managed to take this important strategic city in the south. it is an important and difficult protracted conflict for the country. the cryptocurrency company stx has gone bust. the ceo sam bankman—fried has resigned. they have had many difficulties. they have asked another crypto

exchange, binance to save them. let's talk to the author of the book, the crypto trader. you are the crypto trader. how rough has it been over the last few days? it crypto trader. how rough has it been over the last few days?— over the last few days? it has not been rough _ over the last few days? it has not been rough for — over the last few days? it has not been rough for me, _ over the last few days? it has not been rough for me, because i i over the last few days? it has not i been rough for me, because i didn't have any money stored in fdx. it has been rough for a lot of other people and i think this is something that, it is kind of astonishing, really. to see a company such as fdx that no one has heard of years ago, suddenly it is mainline, wall streetjournal and top head in routers and the bbc covering it, really it is trading platform, fdx. we need to get it in perspective. yet it was a huge player with multi—billion figures tossed around, but ultimately there will be a lot of companies and individuals that were harmed by the failure of such a large company, but now it is in bankruptcy protection,

we will get to find out sooner or later who owes what to coo, which companies might be financial trouble because they were owed money by ftx, we don't know that the moment so it is terrifying the world of crypto and pushing crypto prices down. [30 and pushing crypto prices down. do we know what you get the large withdrawals that seem to have pulled the rug from under the feet of ftx? yes, we do know. it is a bit of a long and convoluted story, ultimately, binance, the exchange you refer to their in your entry, the boss decided because he had a load of tokens, a load of the ftx's platform and proprietary tokens, he said he had assets and they will sell them over time, they had so many that it scared everybody. this will push the price down because they will sell all their tokens. there was a rush for the exit. is

that the case of revenge being serve best cold? obviously, old sam, sam bankman—fried, had been routinely knocking his rival at binance. i wonder whether there was a bit of that going on. personal rivalry effectively infecting the process? certainly, binance are denying that. they are denying any level of them steal that and did not intend in anything turning out this way and believes that the failure of any large player in the crypto space as bad as a whole. and he is right, it is hardly good for the reputation of the industry. what will go a long help future, help circling and that circling and so so on, i hope they regulation and so on, i hope they are mindful of the fact that regulation, particularly in the united states which is of course the most kind of important crypto zone,

regulation there has not been joined up regulation there has not been joined up so far. it has been very busy and we need to see morejoined up regulation, that works for exchanges because previously, we have had the problem where most business has been pushed offshore. let's not forget, ftx is based in antigua, is an offshore exchange, the ones based on us abiding by the rules are not getting much business because regulations strangle the efficiency and customer usability of the platforms. and customer usability of the platforms-— and customer usability of the latforms. ., ., , ., , platforms. there are lots of people who trade crypto. _ platforms. there are lots of people who trade crypto, you _ platforms. there are lots of people who trade crypto, you would i platforms. there are lots of people who trade crypto, you would know| who trade crypto, you would know this far better than i would, and from what i've reported, read and heard, you see regulations as the thing that would these new thing that would kill these new currencies.— thing that would kill these new currencies. ., ., ~ , currencies. regulation, ithink, is be, it has be the right of regulation. to be the right kind of regulation. otherwise, you are quite right, people are quite scared that it could strangled the entire sector

and regulators don't put enough thought into how they do these things. we have had encouraging ideas for regulation come through here in the eu and the uk. and even some in america as well. but it can be a bit hit and miss. as it is such a brand—new area and it needs, in my opinion, as well as fitting crypto into old regulations, needs bespoke regulations also, real cared needs to be taken so that we don't continue with the situation like we currently have where most business, most trading business is pushed offshore. . . , most trading business is pushed offshore. . .y ., ., offshore. the currency trader and the title of _ offshore. the currency trader and the title of his _ offshore. the currency trader and the title of his book, _ offshore. the currency trader and the title of his book, also - offshore. the currency trader and the title of his book, also what i offshore. the currency trader and | the title of his book, also what he does for a living. very good to speak to here. the uk economy shrank betweenjuly and september, confirming what many economists and the bank of england believe to be the start of a recession. it contracted by 0.2 % — as households and businesses were hit by soaring prices, higher energy bills and rising interest rates. britain is not officially in recession yet — that happens when the economy

shrinks for two three—month periods in a row. in the previous three months — april tojune — the economy saw growth of 0.2%. it's expected that we will have gone into recession by the end of the year — and the bank of england has already predicted it could be the longest on record. although maybe a shallow one. here's our business correspondent andy verity. this manufacturer in walsall in the black country makes harnesses and cables for ambulances, cars and electric vehicles. it's a growth business thatjust opened its second factory, but it's struggling with the cost of components and raw materials, which has been surging one of the reasons business is being held back. obviously we need customer support and we work with the customers, but actually we look within. so look at our efficiencies, look at the opportunities we've got to increase output. an increase in output might mean we only stand still, but actually in the current climate that is the best possible outcome. so how is this going? with much of the world economy slowing, the car makers who make up this company's customers saw a sharp reduction in business, with the manufacturing sector down by 2.3% over the summer, the sharpest drop

in overfour decades. all subsectors of manufacturing fell in the quarter three, and that didn't even happen at the height of the pandemic. and actually, you have to go back to the 1980s for the last time that happened — so over 40 years ago. and what they are telling us is they are struggling with price pressures, global supply chains and labour supply. normally, if you enter a recession, that means households and businesses spending less and governments tend to try and offset that by spending more themselves or central banks cut interest rates. but this time preoccupied with inflation, they're doing the opposite. the government's reining in its spending and the central bank's raising interest rates. many economists fear that could make this recession worse than it would otherwise be. as the post—brexit uk economy shrank by 0.2% in the third quarter, it began what's forecast to be the longest recession in 100 years, as the only one of the g7 group of advanced economies that

still hadn't recovered to its pre—pandemic level. well, according to the international monetary fund, around a third of the world's economy is in recession this year or will be in recession next year. and that is principally, but not entirely because of very high global energy prices. we are not immune to that in the uk. and what we need is, is a plan that shows how we're going to get through this difficult period. the tax giveaways by the conservatives in their last budget caused huge damage, but so have the last 12 years of a stagnant economy with barely any economic growth. so we need to stabilise the economy but then have a plan for growth. what counts in any party's plans is what the top priority is. if it's to boost the public finances and head off inflation with spending cuts or higher taxes on top of higher interest rates, that may not be compatible with the other aim all parties say they share to make the recession as short and shallow as possible.

i'm joined now by kitty ussher who is the chief economist at the institute of directors, and a former labour economic secretary to the treasury. i should thank you very much for joining us. it could have been worse, i suppose. joining us. it could have been worse, isuppose. but joining us. it could have been worse, i suppose. but it is merely a kind of precursor to what everyone is expecting, a recession. what will that mean in terms of options for government to try and make that shorter than it might otherwise be, even though the bank says it might be the longest on record? {iii even though the bank says it might be the longest on record? of course, if there is a — be the longest on record? of course, if there is a recession, _ be the longest on record? of course, if there is a recession, that _ be the longest on record? of course, if there is a recession, that means i if there is a recession, that means businesses are making less profit, unemployment rises, which it is not doing yet, but if it does in the future, that means there is less money coming into the government coffers from income tax, and no one will be wanting to pay more out in terms of benefits as well further down the line. it then makes it harderfor the

down the line. it then makes it harder for the government to support people because they actually have less money to play with. normally, they would borrow on the financial markets, that's a very normal thing for government to do, but the moment, the financial markets have been by the kwasi kwarteng and liz truss administration wanting to spend money without saying how they will pay for it and the number one priority of the government is to show the markets they have a plan to help the government get down in the medium term and long term. the situation is slightly unusual in that the recession, while there are lots of global headwinds and problems as we have just heard from your report, it's actually being consciously generated by the bank of england, in a least worst option of needing to raise interest rates in order to make sure that inflation starts falling, because legislation

says that in the long term, that is far worse for us than perhaps a shallow recession. the question is more about how soon can we get through this, how soon can we bring inflation down so that we have confidence to invest in the future? it makes sense then for a period, until the objective is reached, at least until inflation is on a downward trajectory, what government is doing what the bank are doing are actually in conflict. i is doing what the bank are doing are actually in conflict.— actually in conflict. i think actually in conflict. i think actually depends - actually in conflict. i think actually depends on i actually in conflict. i think actually depends on what| actually in conflict. i think i actually depends on what the government is trying to achieve. people are certainly saving statement saying that in a period of instability that the bank was on the break and the government was on the accelerator. i think this government, the difference they will make is to what extent should they to be trying to help everybody or trying to focus on the most vulnerable. if they focus on the

most vulnerable, it is then perfectly possible for them to have a reasonable budget that brings debt down and perhaps, it's fiscally contracted, too much jargon, it is actually contracting, but that then supports the oval aim to reduce that and bring down inflation. in the last point, for other households that are less vulnerable but feeling the pressure, it would mean that the bank of england doesn't have to raise interest as much.- bank of england doesn't have to raise interest as much. what would ou ho -e raise interest as much. what would you hope for _ raise interest as much. what would you hope for in _ raise interest as much. what would you hope for in next _ raise interest as much. what would you hope for in next week's - raise interest as much. what would . you hope for in next week's budget? we represent the mid—market of small and medium—sized companies. we grow things, but not the largest. what is really missing for the group is a long—term plan to focus on what economists call the supply side, but

really the skills and investment. there's been a massive silence in terms of how the government proposes to fill the skills shortage. it's really hard to recruit at the moment. that is holding back growth and that is one of the main drivers of the problem is that we've been hearing about, particularly in the manufacturing sector, but i think across the whole economy. we want the government to start talking about that. one of the main issues at the moment is that with confidence extraordinarily low in businesses and households, it seems like a risky time to invest for your company's future and of course, the economy is the hold needs the finance sector to be investing for the future, so we need more incentives to invest in the government needs to move harder and faster in the area, where confidence is low. but what we in business and all of us, really need is a sense of calm. and to say that it might take

the anxiety of the economic situation at the moment. fish. the anxiety of the economic situation at the moment. ah, calm. i wish ou situation at the moment. ah, calm. i wish you calm _ situation at the moment. ah, calm. i wish you calm for— situation at the moment. ah, calm. i wish you calm for this _ situation at the moment. ah, calm. i wish you calm for this weekend, i situation at the moment. ah, calm. i| wish you calm for this weekend, even if it's not in the economy. thank you very much for talking to us. the foreign office has summoned iran is top diplomat. it follows threats on at least two journalists. the protests in tehran were triggered by the death of the girl who was not covering her hair. there was these details. the meeting took lace there was these details. the meeting took place this _ there was these details. the meeting took place this afternoon _ there was these details. the meeting took place this afternoon on - there was these details. the meeting took place this afternoon on the i took place this afternoon on the instructions of james cleverley, the foreign secretary. it follows what the metropolitan police describe as a serious, significant, credible and imminent threats to the lives of two journalists based in this country.

they were opposition journalists working for something called iran international, although the metropolitan police have been named that organisational the generalisation concern, the organisation has mentioned the threats. there were recon unit scouting out the homes and offices where these journalists worked. iran has dismissed this saying that it is ridiculous, absurd and denied it, but a senior iranian official has branded iran is to national as a terrorist organisation, and his accuser are stirring up unrest in iran. if you look at their hijab protests, they have hit all of iran following the death of the 22—year—old iranian woman in police custody, the regime is on the back foot for that. it is very difficult for news organisations, including ourselves to cover that when we haven't got journalists ourselves to cover that when we haven't gotjournalists in the country. we don't have a terran

this is the thing from the outset elon musk said he didn't like. he said it was a presence in large system, he said it should be free for everyone to be verified and it would be costing people $8 a month. the reason for that would be getting rid of spammers and bots, something he wants to come down hard on, but instead the reverse has really happened. you are on twitter, i am on twitter, people familiar with it will know about this blue checkmark, basically it underlines authenticity, it tells you that that is the official person. government officials, celebrities, sports teams, those kinds of things usually have that blue tick mark, but that was the thing that was now being up for sale, was the thing that was now being up forsale, if was the thing that was now being up for sale, if you like, because elon musk also have his eyes on revenue. he also is looking at ways to do that. since it happened, i was looking to twitter today and you can

see you've got official pepsi accounts with the blue tick tweeting cokeis accounts with the blue tick tweeting coke is better. laughter you had lebronjames, a famous basketball here who tweeted, i want to move to the la lakers. you had nintendo, which had tweeted out a picture of super mario making a very obscene gesture. you can see, it is now completely lettered with these types of accounts and that is because it has gone up for sale and people have been able to purchase that blue checkmark, so to add to that blue checkmark, so to add to that complete chaos, which is happening on the platform. elon musk decided, 0k, happening on the platform. elon musk decided, ok, i happening on the platform. elon musk decided, 0k, iwilladd happening on the platform. elon musk decided, ok, i will add an extra verification, i don't know if you have noticed that, but it is now a grey checkmark that says official. that came and left the platform. i looked for example, bbc technology, our own platform had official the

other day, that has now been taken away, and when i looked before talking to you, i can see that asda and kfc, big brands are now tipped as official. it is a complete mess with the blue subscription service, and with this do we have an official account or not? i and with this do we have an official account or not?— account or not? i have 'ust seen, driven our audience account or not? i have just seen, driven our audience away - account or not? i have just seen, driven our audience away with i account or not? i have just seen, | driven our audience away with the wonderfully colourful descriptions. i should be finding them as soon as i should be finding them as soon as ifinish the programme. thank i should be finding them as soon as i finish the programme. thank you so much, lovely to speak to you. across the uk many fell silent at 11 o clock this morning, for two minutes, to mark the anniversary of the end of the first world war. in 1918. armistice day services have been taking place across the uk to remember those who have died in military conflicts. this year's commemorations included the recently restored big ben striking 11 times. 0ur correspondent nicholas witchell reports.

10a years since the original armistice day, the striking of the 11th hour on the 11th day of the 11th month is still regarded by many as the most solemn moment of national remembrance. ben ben strikes the hour.

after the two—minute silence at the national memorial arboretum, a poem was read in tribute to the late queen. the country loaded its whole self into your slender hands. hands that can rest now relieved of a century's weight. and at the cenotaph in london, wreaths were laid, precursor to remembrance sunday when king charles will lead the nation's tribute to those who lost their lives in war. nicholas witchell, bbc news. talk to ben rich about what it would be like this weekend and for remembrance day. indeed, and in a

word, it is mild. it doesn't feel like november. very mild night and mild days. temperatures got up to 19.5 degrees. way above where we should be at the moment. staying mall through the weekend with sunny spells and fog in the early morning. we can see that developing across parts of east wales in central and eastern england overnight. a band of cloud and rain that will briefly sink southwards over northern ireland and scotland and then will start to move northwards again by the end of the night. it won't be as mild as it was last night, but these temperatures are still pretty high for a november night. into tomorrow, we won't see the band of rain moving northwards, more rain for the north west of scotland, elsewhere spells of sunshine when any fog has cleared, top temperatures north to south, 1a to 18 degrees. the remembrance sunday forecasters look mainly fine, fog around first thing, most places dry, some rain later in

the day in northern ireland. will be dry and we will see cloud in northern ireland later in the day. welcome back its a:30pm here in the headlines. ukraine's head of operational command south confirms to the bbc that the ukrainian armed forces have entered strategically important city of kherson. joe biden addresses delegates at the cop27 summit in egypt to defend his administration's climate action. as protests in iran continue, the foreign secretary summons iran's most senior diplomat following a series of serious threats against journalists living in the uk. and, ftx files for bankruptcy in the us. in a statement — the cryptocurrency platform also says its boss sam bankman—fried has resigned. the bbc finds nhs england spent £3 billion on locum doctors, nurses and other agency staff last year — an increase of 20% to fill holes in rotas.

no locums at the bbc sport centre only the real deal. good evening. how are you? good evening. so many world cups going on the moment aren't there. let's start with women's rugby in new zealand where england's red roses are preparing to face the hosts in the final early tomorrow morning. it's going to be a sell—out at eden park in auckland against the defending champions. england have won their past 30 tests — a record in international rugby, but they've lost to the black ferns four times in world cup finals including the last, in 2017. captain sarah hunter, who was on the losing side in belfast, did lift the trophy in 201a. that 201a side was very special for many different reasons and always

will be. the journey that we have been as a squad over these last two years, to think about the things that we have been through as a squad collectively but individually as well, it would have to be up there but we know it is not going to come easy for us. it is going to be one hell of a challenge, in front of a home crowd for the black ferns, we are going to have to be on a game to get that trophy. england's cricketer�*s are preparing for their t20 world cup final against pakistan in melbourne on sunday but fast mark wood is in a race against time to be fit he missed yesterday's semi—final win is in a race against time to be fit. he missed yesterday's semi—final win over india because of a hip injury. chrisjordan came in and took three wickets but wood has been matches in the group stages. in thre men's tournament tonight, australia face new zealand

and tomorrow england, the hosts, play samoa at arsenal's emirates stadium. they scored 60 points against the pacific islanders in their group stage win. one of england's stand out players dom young scored two tries in that match but he expects samoa to put up more of a fight. obviously, we have played them before but we know it's going to be a different game. they have got their combination sorted out now so we are ready for that, but yes it is just the same message we have added each week, doing all the little things and playing with that spirit and getting over the lines. we've got a lot of quality players and we've got to take at face value will stop yes, we definitely need to be ready for a tougher challenge this week. we've heard from the new southampton manager nathanjones today. the former luton town boss has replaced ralph hasenhuttl who was sacked on monday. it's a tough first game for him, they play liverpool at anfield tomorrow, but then we have the 6

week break for the world cup, which he's now looking forward to. it piles massive pressure on the champion coach for the schedule and it was unfair on players but now from what i layered some people by absolute geniuses. brilliant, i'm so so happy so from a world cup in qatar in november. it gives me an opportunity to work with them. the first figure grand prix to be held in the uk has started in sheffield today and the home crowd will be able to get behind british pair lilah fear and lewis gibson. they are are ranked number one in the world with every chance that they could win the country's first figure skating gold at a major tournament since torvill and dean back in 198a. we are so beyond excited, we have been counting down the days until we

somebody lower level. diplomatic reasons, sending a message you meet the low person equivalent to you or if you're really bad you meet someone less senior. but also the practicality the fact that the foreign secretary the day in paris. so we don't have any details of what this deal is and whether it would make a difference of course, the proof of the pudding will be in the meeting. we are hearing of significant progress in the words of james cleverly out of that meeting with the french. certainly we saw the impression, didn't we? 0f with the french. certainly we saw the impression, didn't we? of the enthusiasm of which emmanuel macron and rishi sunak embraced each other that they were keen to perhaps overcome some of the rhetorical awkwardness perhaps they had been between liz truss and emmanuel macron when he said he wasn't sure whether he was an enemy or friend.

they did build some bridges than mend some fences she did agree to be part of the european political committee but of course that prospect was lost when she resigned. so the new man in number ten, the same old man as it were in france but certainly the prospect of some improvement in the bilateral hands of this issue. we are seeing only today how tensions over migrants can erupt with the french and italians. let's return to our top story this afternoon — that ukrainian armed forces have entered the city of kherson — which has been abandoned by russia. general sir richard barrons is a former commander of the uk joint forces command. he told me russia's withdrawal was clearly a defeat for president putin. kherson was the only place of importance that they seized, it is a city the size of southampton, is substantial. this is an area they announced they had annexed a few weeks ago, which was clearly false.

and although they have withdrawn from kherson, in good military order, they had withdrawn because the position was untenable, the ukrainian military had cut them off from the east bank of the river and that would mean that they wouldn't be able to get reinforcements and ammunition in the city, they couldn't get their casualties or own people out. they have chosen to leave kherson in good military order. that is a defeat. it doesn't mean this war is in any way over. where are they likely to be focusing their efforts now? i think two things will happen on the east bank of this very large river, the russians will continue to have more effective defensive positions because the east bank of the river is the protection of both crimea and the routes into crimea, so they have now, they will secure a much more defensible position, but the focus for the fighting will go back to donbas where the russians are mounting

a series of almost suicidal attacks and both sides will be able to concentrate more forces in the battle for territory. the question then is it that is, the donbas has been effectively self—governing ie russian backed, but not in the control of kyiv for a number of years. potentially hostile territory for ukraine? an element of the donbas in the hands of the separatists when this war opened in february, there is a large element of donbas that russia has occupied since february and ukraine intends to take all of it back and i think this will become the major feature of this war. we should also recognise that this war has been going on since february and both sides are frankly short of certainly trained people,

very short of ammunition and are both looking for either a pause or an opportunity to regroup. that does not mean that the war will stop in winter and not least in the donbas. hard ground makes manoeuvre easier, but it does mean that both sides are beginning to recognise they need a bit of a refresh. there was a thought at the beginning of last year that one reason why the russians had not moved to attack ukraine scene was because it was winter and because of the issue of supplies. are they in any better position this winter to deal with the supply question of supporting their troops in donbas? for both sides, given that we are looking at the front line of about a thousand kilometres, they have very well established roots of supply for the russian forces in ukraine, they have roots in from russia that they will protect very carefully and for the ukrainian side, having managed the emergency that occurred in february this year, they have now improving supply

lines, but the ukrainian position relies absolutely on a continued flow of weapons, money, ammunition and spare parts from the west. that is what will fuel a ukrainian victory. the nhs is spending billions of pounds each year on freelance doctors, nurses and other health workers — often paying premium rates to fill vacancies. an investigation by the bbc found that this type of spending is increasing dramatically across the uk. last year agency staff cost £3 billion in england alone. that's the same cost as hiring around 50,000 full time nurses. here's our health reporter chloe hayward. we have had to use more agency staff, unfortunately, and that comes with a cost. hospitals around england are struggling to fill rotas. we have seen an increase in people leaving. there's no doubt that one of the reasons is around more money. with wards already full, more doctors and nurses are needed, and expensive agency workers are often the only way to fill staffing gaps.

we're all fishing in a relatively shallow pool of staff, so until we address the longer term challenges around workforce, it's always going to be a bit hand—to—mouth. 0n the ward in colchester hospital... i will be responsible for staffing for the whole of the site today. ..andy is in charge of filling rotas and knows these challenges all too well. yesterday, as an example, i thought my emergency department was nice and safe for the evening and a couple of hours before we had a couple of people call in sick and then immediately that changes things. overall, the nhs in england spent more than £3 billion on agency staff in the last year. that's up 20% on the year before. and agency spending is also rising in other parts of the uk. in scotland, it has doubled in the past year, while in wales it has risen by over a0%. in northern ireland it is four times higher than it was three years ago. with so many hospital budgets already very stretched, difficult decisions are now being made.

i think the nhs has been trying to find greater efficiencies for a long, long time. but when i talk to clinical leaders, they're really, really nervous that they're going to have to make some really hard choices if they're going to stay in their budgets. and those hard choices will be things like reducing the number of staff they use. 0r reducing the number of beds that they have in hospital. and you can see those are really going to have an impact on the quality and access to patient care. improving staff retention could play a key part when it comes to reducing agency spend. so now trusts around the country are taking steps such as improving rota flexibility, offering wellbeing sessions and launching mental health days. but for now, it ultimately comes down to flexibility and money. a junior doctor can triple his hourly rate if he works for agency versus being on an nhs contract. i wouldn't consider taking the shift if it wasn't paying the market rate, which would be around £50 to £60. i'd absolutely love to go back to being a staff member. it's mainly about the pay.

sometimes you'll only be able to book a shift for two, three, four days a week. and you'll be very transient in the department. you won't know who the consultants are, the other members of staff, and it can sometimes affect the working dynamic, because you're just seen as a replaceable agency worker. the department of health says a long—term workforce plan is coming, but for now, nhs trusts around england are left with little choice but to allocate more and more of their budgets on paying growing staff bills rather than providing front line services. chloe hayward, bbc news. joining us now is andrew dight, he has been an agency nurse for 10 years, after working for the nhs since 1992. until he resigned ten years ago. thank you for being with us. how does it compare? in thank you for being with us. how does it compare?—

that all of the problems you see m1 is completely mirrored in the next when you go to. the flow through the hospital from accident emergency which is the speciality that i have worked in for my nursing career. they are exactly the same. every hospital that you go to. so, the impact that that has on staff, whether they are newly qualified or as myself was, 20 years of experience and fairly senior at the stage. it is an impact on you. there is certainly the quality of life, the ability to mix your life inside and outside work is constantly blurred. when you're in the nhs. it blurred. when you're in the nhs. it is fair to say, is it, it's working

their incomes. i am a lucky position i work full—time agency. it's nerve—racking and i have to hold my breath sometimes when i am not getting as many shifts as i would like. you said earlier about not working as much, i work more now as an agency worker. working as much, i work more now as an agency worker-— an agency worker. thank you very much for talking _ an agency worker. thank you very much for talking to _ an agency worker. thank you very much for talking to us. _ an agency worker. thank you very much for talking to us. think i an agency worker. thank you very much for talking to us. think you | much for talking to us. think you for having _ much for talking to us. think you for having me — much for talking to us. think you for having me on. _ let's go to egypt now — where the cop27 climate summit is in full swing. president biden addressed the room — he said he was confident that the world, with young people leading the way, could limit rises in global temperatures. mr biden also apologised for the us pulling out of the paris climate agreement, while donald trump was president. here's more of what he said. a good climate policy is good economic policy. it's a strong foundation for a durable, resilient inclusive

economic growth that is driving progress in the private sector, driving progress around the world and the sum total of the action my administration has taken bets in the united states on track to achieve our paris agreement goal of reducing admission 50 to 52% below 2005 levels by 2030. joe biden there. in some respects it was cuite joe biden there. in some respects it was quite a — joe biden there. in some respects it was quite a predictable _ joe biden there. in some respects it was quite a predictable speech i joe biden there. in some respects it| was quite a predictable speech when the president, he came head to trump up the president, he came head to trump up the major achievements he has had so far in office. the least of which was bring in the united states back into the paris agreement. the central piece of legislation he has achieved it is information bill, which would bring $380 billion worth of spending on green projects across the united states, he called this the united states, he called this

the biggest and most important climate legislation in the us is ever passed and i think undoubtedly it is. he was a little less generous on the question of money. this is a big issue for the united states, president biden came to glasgow at cop26 last year and he promised to increase us spending to $11 billion for various things including adaptation helping countries to change their ways of generating power. he reiterated that the day and how is it going to get that money and where is it going to come from? will be passed by congress thatis from? will be passed by congress that is supported by him remains to be seen. speaking from the climate converse in egypt. "it's taken me 86 years to get fame." those are the words of one member of what could be britain's oldest amateurfilm—making club — which, after many decades, has itself made it to the big screen. the documentary is about the bradford movie makers and our arts correspondent david sillito

went to see it. we are a group of keen amateurfilm—makers. the bradford movie makers. they have been making films since 1932 with lots of enthusiasm but not a lot of success. however, things have changed. i would like to remake oklahoma. where i am riding a white stallion. the film, a bunch of amateurs, is a documentary about the club. it tells the story of people like harry. # oh what a beautiful morning #. here doing his version of oklahoma. the documentary has been getting rave reviews. harry has been all over. you have been to bafta? i've been to bafta, i've been- to london twice in this last week. are you getting used to this show business lifestyle?

colin has been a member for more than 50 years. this is his first premiere. this is more my line, you know. cine, you know. oh, it's dropped out again. congratulations on this special day for you. oh, yeah. i'm looking forward to it, yeah. but this is about more than just a hobby. a lot of the members are carers. the idea of the film began whenjoe, a disability support volunteer, posted a message online. about loneliness and isolation. you talk about very personal things. there is depression and... yeah, i have that. i have had that for many years. for my sins, yeah. it's loneliness.

i can show the story of my life on film, if i wanted. i think what happens in this film, we are all going to get old, we are all going to be looking for something to do with our minds, we are all going to be looking for a community. we may lose our loved ones. i think this club is like an amazing alternative family. and then, there was the main event. the hometown gala premiere. 90 years of movie—making, no glamorous premiers, ups and downs so today for the bradford movie—makers it's quite a moment. applause. david sillito, bbc news, bradford. now the movie is for our weather watcher to supply those but the man at the map as ben rich. i am dying

to ask you, it's the middle of november is there any sign of a chill on the way? as we go through next week temperatures will get a bit colder but in terms of that shell nothing on the horizon. temperatures are far higher than they ought to be. 19.5 celsius the highest temperature we have seen today in parts of north—west england. why has it been so high? jet stream bringing up strong winds blowing more than 200 mph and thatjet has been blowing up from the self feeding this really unseasonably mild air in our direction. it hasn't only been warm by day either, the nights have been pretty mild. in fact, last night provision in scotland and northern ireland had their warmest november night on record. the temperatures in some places holding above 1a celsius. the other side of the whether story and in scotland is the amount of rain that we have seen, this week we had seen a months worth

of rain in some parts of scotland. that rain through today has been petering out and sinking south eastwards, we'll be left with a band of cloud and patchy rain. getting through and moving northwards again. to the north of that banding cloud of rain we do have some chilly air. so, certainly not as mild as it was last week in northern scotland. even further south temperatures down and where they have been. but still, by no means cold for a november night. the weekend weather looks like this. it is going to stay mild, sunny spells and they could well be some fog patches around the mornings. with high pressure dominating the scene across continental europe. we do still have this frontal system up to the north—west, that will bring some rain tomorrow but that rain moving out of northern ireland, out of southern scotland are becoming confined to the north west of scotland through the afternoon. elsewhere, once the early morning forecast clears will see some sunshine, more sunshine than we have been used to of late. and still

pretty mild, 17 or 18 celsius in the south. not quite as mild as it has been across parts of scotland. into sunday, there will be some fog patches, perhaps more at this stage. east wales, parts of england through the eastern parts of england and scotland they could be so messed moving on from the north sea, some low cloud. but we will see some sunshine developing through the day before the system brings rain and northern ireland later. that was sweet eastwards and we asked at the start about any chill on the way, for november you would not call this a chill but by the end of next week temperatures will be a bit closer to where we'd expect them to be at this time of year.
