1:05 pm
chief football writer at the independent, joined us from doha and i asked him for his reaction to the fifa president's comments staggering. given some of the things he has come out with in the last few weeks, and give what you said about what football can do for migrants, i suppose maybe we should have expected some of it. but the level was incredible. it is almost as if we have this large statesman—like address, that fell somewhere west of alan partridge. for address, that fell somewhere west of alan partridge-— alan partridge. for our world view is, that is a _ alan partridge. for our world view is, that is a comedy _ alan partridge. for our world view is, that is a comedy character- alan partridge. for our world view is, that is a comedy character on i is, that is a comedy character on the bbc. the aim was to try to get away from the criticism and the issues surrounding the world cup. ideally i guess fifa wants the attention to be on the game and the matches themselves. to think this will help? matches themselves. to think this will hel ? ., ~' matches themselves. to think this will hel ? ., ~ ., ~ , will help? no, ithink it makes it worse. will help? no, ithink it makes it worse- there —

1:08 pm
theseissues i don't think that will happen. all these issues aren't going to go away. the managers and players will be pressed on them. this will be a world cup with a difference. we are talking about the atmosphere as well. in russia, which i suppose had so many issues as well, and was seen at difficult to travel to, they still had 5000 fans travelling from england. this one is expecting only 2000 to 3000. there are a lot of expats but the travel numbers aren't going to be anywhere close to what we are used to. and as instructive as anything will be the atmosphere in the stadiums.— in the stadiums. when you look at the reaction _ in the stadiums. when you look at the reaction to _ in the stadiums. when you look at the reaction to the _ in the stadiums. when you look at the reaction to the articles - in the stadiums. when you look at the reaction to the articles you - in the stadiums. when you look at| the reaction to the articles you are writing for your paper for readers, what sense do you get from them about how they see all of this? tt’s about how they see all of this? it's ruite about how they see all of this? tt�*s quite interesting because infantino didn't articulate this, almost unintentionally, there was a bit of a split between the reston world, where excitement has been suppressed because of the issues, and one of
1:09 pm
the bigger things of this world cup is that there is finally world cup in the middle east, in a predominantly muslim country, which would be noble things, had it not been for the human cost. in general, i suppose, from the reaction within britain and ireland and western europe, one thing you notice is that it doesn't feel like a world cup as it doesn't feel like a world cup as it should be, because there is too much controversy. world cup is how a lot of people get introduced to the world cup and it does have that magic about it. it is the least of this world cup's issues but that magic has been taken away because so much of it has been solid. talks at the climate conference in egypt have extended into an extra day. countries are divided over a fund to help nations affected by climate change — and proposals to limit carbon emissions. the un climate agency has just published an updated draft text of the final agreement proposed by cop27 host, egypt. 0ur climate editorjustin rowlatt gave us the latest from sharm el sheikh and i asked him
1:10 pm
if we were approaching an agreement. look, i don't think this is a final deal. this is more movement, so there has been bids, kind of bids, if you like, and counter bids, we are in a kind of haggle at the moment. the new draft text is better than the old one, the older one didn't mention that 1.5, that totemic i.5figure. this one repeats glasgow language on 1.5. it says countries need to come back at the next cop with more ambitious targets for cutting emissions and it also says, look, there does need to be some kind of fund, but it still leaves all sorts of things to be decided, so all around me are the delegation offices, where the negotiating teams for the countries are. they are telling me that developed countries are saying it still doesn't go far enough on raising ambition on cutting emissions. meanwhile, the developing nations say they are still not happy with the deal they are being offered on this fund for loss and damage for the impact climate change are having now, so we are not at a decision now, we're still in,
1:11 pm
i think we can still say the talks are in deadlock. that doesn't mean, though, that it couldn't all come together quite quickly, so we really, frankly, ben, don't know where are. a search has resumed for a woman who is thought to have been swept away into a river as torrential rain battered parts of scotland yesterday. the wet weather is continuing to cause disruption to travel — with roads and rail services affected. a number of turns of setup refuge centres for a number of householders who have had to leave homes. robert townsend reports. you'll like this with the scene in fife after severe flooding brought trouble to the road network. in dunfermline contest commuters faced impassable travel conditions where floodwaters also rose in edinburgh. the past 2a hours and seen heavy rain and winds battered much of the east coast. residents, with the help

he pleaded guilty to murder at the time of the attack. he had only recently been released from prison and his licence had been revoked by the probation service. in a separate case, raneem alder and her mother, hala saleem, were killed in solihull in 2018. they didn't feel safe. they had asked the police for help. they were stabbed to death by raneem's estranged husband, chambas tarin. this is him following them on a night out. west midlands police have failed hawala acronym beyond imagination. they had so many opportunity to save their lives right up until the end. both were murdered while on the phone to the police, begging for help. this is the moment tareen was finally arrested yesterday. a jury at their inquest found earlier police errors materially contributed to the women's deaths. west midlands police have apologised. last year the murder of sarah everard by a met police officer prompted grief, protests

system is reaching breaking point. he says that nearly 50% of ukraine's energy infrastructure has been damaged by russian missile strikes. he is worried that if there is another one of these attacks then it could cripple the entire system. his advice right now to ukrainians is that they should first of all reduce their energy consumption, but if they have the option to, if they can afford to, they should think about leaving ukraine for the winter. he says this is important because if more people leave the country then it will reduce the pressure on the energy system. he says this is what is needed to make sure critical services can continue and hospitals can keep getting access to electricity. t can keep getting access to electricity-— can keep getting access to electrici . , , ,, ., electricity. i suppose the issue of ener: electricity. i suppose the issue of energy becomes _ electricity. i suppose the issue of energy becomes even _ electricity. i suppose the issue of energy becomes even more i electricity. i suppose the issue of| energy becomes even more acute electricity. i suppose the issue of i energy becomes even more acute as we enter the freezing temperatures that ukraine and the capital kyiv experience at this time of year. we can see the situation behind you,

intercontinental ballistic missile. the missile was fired from pyongyang airport and landed in the sea, east of the korean peninsula. the north korean leader wasjoined at the launch by his daughter, belived to be named kim chu—ae. this is the first time any of kimjong un's children have appeared in public. how is it seen in the region — and is japan worried of a new level of escalation? i spoke earlier to simon chelton, associate fellow at security think—tank rusi, and a former defence attache in tokyo. japan, and other missiles have overflowing japan. this has been going on for some time. there is an acceptance that this level of activity has been ongoing for some time. it is threatening, it seems to be creating a greater instability, but i don't think it's more than that at the moment, other than that japan doesn't find it
1:26 pm
a welcome development. when kim jong—un says he is capable of deterring any nuclear threat, this looks far more of an aggressive stance then a defensive one? we would all think that. north korea has been on the path for creating, what you might call, nuclear deterrent for some considerable time, before he took over. there are three particular elements to that. one is to create a nuclear device which has been done. one is to create a delivery system which will be various different types of missiles, and the third stage, which we're not sure yet has been done, is to create a warhead that could go into a missile. what they seem to be demonstrating, through a whole range of missile tests, is that there missile technology is developing to the point of becoming credible. what to read into the fact that he was accompanied by his daughter?
1:27 pm
there is a lot of speculation, and with north korea, nobody is ever quite sure. what you can be sure of is, that first of all these occasions are intentionally surprising. they are carefully scripted. my personal view is that this is to say that the kim dynasty, after all he is the grandson of the founder of north korea, is here for the foreseeable future and the next generation is already being groomed in potential leadership. whether his daughter will be a future leader is a different issue, but there is an element of stability of the dynasty within a communist regime, which we do find slightly unusual. tesla is recalling vehicles because of tail—lights failing to light. this was made publicjust a short while ago. it covers some 23 model
