there was a time when i first got to the people — there was a time when i first got to the people said it was not a problem, but i don't know anybody, i shouldwt— problem, but i don't know anybody, i shouldn't say that, i don't know anybody — shouldn't say that, i don't know anybody who honestly believes climate — anybody who honestly believes climate change is not a serious problem — there is a direct correlation i between the concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere and global temperatures. _ the warmer our global. temperature is, the more likely we are to have extreme events. - welcome to the programme, july was probably the hottest month since humans inhabited the earth. the un secretary general is not mincing his words. "this is not global warming," he said today, "this is global boiling." we will get reaction from the world meteorological organisation. 17 years for a crime he didn't commit. andrew malkinson will get compensation, but out of that,

the state will likely deduct a chunk on money for his food and lodgings in prison. we will hear from another wrongly convicted prisoner who suffered the same double injustice. and the boss of coutts bank is out. another scalp for nigel farage. we will take another look at the insider report that led to his resignation. four days from the end of the month, it is virtually certain that delights the hottest month on record. july 6th was the hottest day, with the fifth and the seventh not far behind. in an interview with the bbc today, samantha burgess from the copernicus climate change service said the data confirms that the record—shattering temperatures would have been almost impossible without the warming gases we are putting into the atmosphere. so here is the chart copernicus has produced. it shows the warmest 30 months on record globally. the line on the right

hand side of the chart shows temperatures this month — over 0.3 degrees warmer than the previous record, set in july 2019. some other important news today came from the international energy agency, and it relates to our use of coal. global coal consumption has climbed to a new all—time high in 2022 and will stay near that record level this year as strong growth in asia for both power generation and industrial applications outpaces declines in the united states and europe. coal and oil, the energy analyst at bloomberg tweeted coal and oil, the energy analyst at bloomberg tweeted this coal and oil, the energy analyst at bloomberg tweeted this morning... so we are shocked by what we are seeing, but we are not changing our habits, and the un secretary—general says we are running out of time.

there is a direct correlation between the concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere and global temperatures. so until we turn off the tap of emissions, of greenhouse gases, we can continue to expect our climate to continue to increase. and we know from our own data and from the ipcc reports that the warmer our global temperature is, the more likely we are to have extreme events such as the heatwaves we are seeing in recent weeks. so we are more likely to get extreme events and they are more likely to be more intense as well. so this really makes these global international meetings even more important for ambitious climate action to turn off the tap to those climate emissions, because every single fraction of a degree matters. according to the data, released today, — according to the data, released today, july has already seen the hottest — today, july has already seen the hottest three week period ever recorded, the three hottest days on record. _ recorded, the three hottest days on record. and — recorded, the three hottest days on record, and the highest ever ocean

not close to meeting paris target or even restricting warming to 1.5. or even restricting warming to 1.5. or even 2 degrees at the moment, are we? ., ~' even 2 degrees at the moment, are we? ., ~ . , we? no, i think the latest estimations _ we? no, i think the latest estimations are _ we? no, i think the latest estimations are that - we? no, i think the latest estimations are that we . we? no, i think the latest. estimations are that we are we? no, i think the latest- estimations are that we are on we? no, i think the latest— estimations are that we are on track for about 2.8 degrees warming, and thatisif for about 2.8 degrees warming, and that is if all of the plans that are in place are actually implemented. so it is completely right, as you say, we are not on the right track, and this data today really reminds us really starkly that temperatures are increasing and increasing, and they will continue whether we act or not. ,, . . , , . they will continue whether we act or not. ,, . , . , not. the secretary-general calls it terri in: , not. the secretary-general calls it terrifying. that _ not. the secretary-general calls it terrifying, that is _ not. the secretary-general calls it terrifying, that is on _ not. the secretary-general calls it terrifying, that is on the _ not. the secretary-general calls it terrifying, that is on the basis - not. the secretary-general calls it terrifying, that is on the basis of i terrifying, that is on the basis of what we are seeing now in terms of the wildfires in europe, the heat in the wildfires in europe, the heat in the united states, the record temperatures in china, what we really don't know, we can predict grass like this, but what we really don't know is how the world will react to this, do we? trio.

hour, i have done many of these interviews before where this is the story at 28 minutes past the hour. so it does seem to be going up the agenda, it seems to be getting recognised as being a significant challenge that we really do need to address, ifind that challenge that we really do need to address, i find that personally quite reassuring that people are starting to really listen to the scientists, and hopefully the action will follow. but scientists, and hopefully the action will follow. �* , ., , , scientists, and hopefully the action willfollow. , , . . will follow. but you must be aware, and in fact i — will follow. but you must be aware, and in fact i have _ will follow. but you must be aware, and in fact i have seen _ will follow. but you must be aware, and in fact i have seen it _ will follow. but you must be aware, and in fact i have seen it from - and in fact i have seen it from senior commentators this week here in the uk, people still questioning whether it is human induced. yes, the climate may be warming, but is it actually the result of what we are putting into the atmosphere? what would you say about the basis of science that is now put in front of science that is now put in front of policymakers? i of science that is now put in front of policymakers?— of policymakers? i think to be honest, of policymakers? i think to be honest. it _ of policymakers? i think to be honest, it is _ of policymakers? i think to be honest, it is completely - honest, it is completely unequivocal. the science community are completely agreed, the latest ipcc report also ironed out this fact, that it is human caused. of

course that takes some time to trickle into society, for everybody to generally start to understand that and take that on board fully. and, yes,, it will take some time to reach all corners of society to get that message across. but from the scientific perspective, it could not be clearer, as secretary general deterrence echoed today. irate be clearer, as secretary general deterrence echoed today. we will focus later _ deterrence echoed today. we will focus later on _ deterrence echoed today. we will focus later on the _ deterrence echoed today. we will focus later on the programme - deterrence echoed today. we will. focus later on the programme what joe biden said about it in the next hour. forthe joe biden said about it in the next hour. for the moment, thank you very much. which is owned by natwest, has resigned with immediate effect over the mishandling of nigel farage's account. peter flavel, who became boss of coutts in 2016, said the treatment of mr farage had "fallen below the bank's high standards of personal service". his exit comes less than two days after dame alison rose stepped down as natwest�*s chief executive in connection with the same complaint. dame alison had wrongly briefed a bbcjournalist that

mr farage was de—banked" because he fell below coutts�* wealth threshold. that is how mr ferrari puts it. and yet it later became clear that part of that decision related to mr farage's political views which the bank said did not align with their values. mr farage said the bank had dismissed him as "xenophobic and racist". chris roebuck is a british economist who has sat in on banking meetings at ubs, hsbc and rbs. so he has a good idea of how these conversations work. can we start with the resignation, inevitable, do you think, given the resignation earlier of the week of dame alison? i resignation earlier of the week of dame alison?— dame alison? i think it was absolutely _ dame alison? i think it was absolutely inevitable - dame alison? i think it was absolutely inevitable on - dame alison? i think it was| absolutely inevitable on the dame alison? i think it was - absolutely inevitable on the basis that the decision was taken within coutts, and he heads up coutts, and he would have signed off on that decision. maybe it is also worth mentioning what they did was they were not going to remove any

possibility of nigel farage having a bank account, as the phrase de—bank suggests, they said, "look, you have a wealthy person's bank account, you don't have enough money in the account to keep that so sadly we have to downgrade due to a normal person's natwest account, which nigel farage was not happy with. i nigel farage was not happy with. i want to put this on screen for the so they fully understand it. i want to talk about why the coutts committee got it right and where they got it wrong. we know two things from the report nigel farage got his hands on, the first, they discussed his bank account in a purely commercial sense. this is the expert. does that break the rules? that is a commercial decision on the amount of money he either has in the bank or the amount of money that he owes the

bank. ., , the amount of money that he owes the bank. . , _, . . , bank. that is commercial. ok, but then they went — bank. that is commercial. ok, but then they went on _ bank. that is commercial. ok, but then they went on into _ bank. that is commercial. ok, but then they went on into what - bank. that is commercial. ok, but then they went on into what many | then they went on into what many people consider dangerous territory, this is what has appalled people, because this is what they said in that meeting, "the committee did think continuing to bank... they were talking about nigel farage's views around lgbtq plus and inclusivity, is that even relevant to holding a bank account? the statement _ to holding a bank account? the statement they _ to holding a bank account? tie: statement they made to holding a bank account? tte: statement they made suggested to holding a bank account? "tt2 statement they made suggested that the inclusivity bit was why they made the decision, because it was contrary to the bank's values. that in my view does not count, because

you taking a perspective on someone else's views on inclusivity is inherently political, albeit you are trying to do it to protect the bank from what you might perceive as a reputational risk. but from what you might perceive as a reputational risk.— reputational risk. but wealth managers — reputational risk. but wealth managers are _ reputational risk. but wealth managers are different - reputational risk. but wealth managers are different to i reputational risk. but wealth i managers are different to retail bankers, they are paid to better understand people. ithink bankers, they are paid to better understand people. i think what mystifies me, given the cost to the bank reputation early and need financially, is how they didn't see which way this would go, given nigel farage's reputation and, let's put it bluntly, his self—importance. t it bluntly, his self—importance. i think you're absolutely right to be blunt. given nigel farage, given the fact that he is or had an account with coutts, a private bank, given thatis with coutts, a private bank, given that is a bank for wealthy people and they were trying to push him out to having a bank account like normal people that didn't have all the bells and whistles, you would expect

him to be unhappy, as indeed would anybody who had that sort of account was getting downgraded. but obviously with nigel farage, the likelihood was, in fact a dead certainty was, that he was not going to take it lying down. irate certainty was, that he was not going to take it lying down.— to take it lying down. we talked about this on _ to take it lying down. we talked about this on the _ to take it lying down. we talked about this on the programme i to take it lying down. we talked - about this on the programme before, the social positions that corporates take, and increasingly they are being asked to take such positions, but we all have political views, and when it comes to inclusivity, as an example, that is inherently political, was it ever relevant to the bank's reputation? this political, was it ever relevant to the bank's reputation?- political, was it ever relevant to the bank's reputation? this is where it nets the bank's reputation? this is where it gets completed, _ the bank's reputation? this is where it gets completed, because - the bank's reputation? this is where| it gets completed, because obviously the banks are trying to do a balancing act in terms of they have their values and positions on these things, which they are expected to take as an organisation in society, and if they don't take positive values on those, they will get hit on social media. equally, the question about a reputational risk is interesting, because thejudgment

i would have assumed to be,", you have nigel farage as a customer, he does not agree with your values in terms of how you express them, he takes a different perspective, but thatis takes a different perspective, but that is not relevant in terms of reputational risk, merely that he has an account." if he was going out making speeches saying, "i completely disagree with some of these things that are being put out about lgbt and black lives matter, and actually i have an account with coutts and they are one of those organisations and i don't agree with it," but would be a completely different ball game, because then you are making a direct link between the bank and his views, questioning the bank and his views, questioning the bank. , , the bank and his views, questioning the bank. , w , , ., the bank. very quickly before i let ou to, the bank. very quickly before i let you go. we _ the bank. very quickly before i let you go, we should _ the bank. very quickly before i let you go, we should separate - the bank. very quickly before i let you go, we should separate the i the bank. very quickly before i let i you go, we should separate the two reasons why the two chief executives have resigned. dame alison went because she breathed a bbc journalist on a private matter, his bank account. he has gone because i guess he is the fall guy for how the

banking committee within his bank took this decision, correct? absolutely, christian. we are all clear on that. thank you very much indeed. around the world and across the uk. this is bbc news. let's take a look at some other stories making headlines here in the uk. a man who shot and killed a custody sergeant is begin your whole life sentence for his murder. he sergeant is begin your whole life sentence for his murder.- sentence for his murder. he was convicted of _ sentence for his murder. he was convicted of murdering - sentence for his murder. he was convicted of murdering the - sentence for his murder. he was - convicted of murdering the sergeant in 2020 and is unlikely to ever be considered for release. thejudge at the court that he acted in cold blood. strike action by nearly a thousand ground staff at gatwick airport has been called off. workers had threatened to strike from friday 28th ofjuly to tuesday the 1st of august, but workers at three of the firms have not accepted offers and union members are voting on a deal.

a historic royal sensors known as swan upping has revealed a 40% drop in the number of cygnets on the river thames compared with last year. the decline has been blamed on avian flu but also a great problem of violence, including shootings, catapult attacks and the dogs killing swans. you're live with bbc news. a british man jailed for 17 years for a crime he didn't commit says he feels like he was kidnapped by the state. andy malkinson would have been out after seven years but he refused to confess. in an often emotional interview with our colleagues on radio 4's today programme, he said the chance to gain early release through an admission of guilt was a hollow choice. evenif even if you fight tooth and nail gain compensation, it's kind of sick, you have to pay the prison service a large chunk of that if you win compensation for so—called board and lodging.

laundry, how much did you earn? i used to work £14 a week, and when you consider, if i had at the same job on the outside, i would be on £400 a week. so i think i am the one who has been hard done by in that regard. slave labour.— regard. slave labour. there is clearly and — regard. slave labour. there is clearly and normal _ regard. slave labour. there is clearly and normal financial. regard. slave labour. there is i clearly and normal financial cost regard. slave labour. there is - clearly and normal financial cost to both you and andrew for having been inside for so long, but there is also that immense psychological torment, which you could hear in that interview and in his voice. was if the same for you? i’m that interview and in his voice. was if the same for you?— if the same for you? i'm still suffering _ if the same for you? i'm still suffering issues _ if the same for you? i'm still suffering issues 26 - if the same for you? i'm still suffering issues 26 years - if the same for you? i'm still i suffering issues 26 years later. if the same for you? i'm still - suffering issues 26 years later. i still see a psychiatrist, i'm still on medication, i have learned that to live with what has happened, but thatis to live with what has happened, but that is all you can do. then there is light at the end of the tunnel in the sense that you can learn to live with it, and that is the most important thing and what you cannot do it. but andrew will need

person, not three. the police have apologised to me, but they should be apologising to the victim's family for deceiving him for so long. and they have not caught the real killer. i urge the police to find the real person, not only in my case, but andrew's as well. why, do ou still case, but andrew's as well. why, do you still carry _ case, but andrew's as well. why, do you still carry the — case, but andrew's as well. why, do you still carry the stigma? _ case, but andrew's as well. why, do you still carry the stigma? are - you still carry the stigma? are people still be believing it if you even though you are out? i get attacked regularly _ even though you are out? i get attacked regularly on - even though you are out? i g2t attacked regularly on twitter and social media, i have been called all sorts, i'm a murderer, that maybe i didn't do the murderer but i did the robbery. i have been constantly in touch with the police to try and stop these people from defaming me and saying bad things about me. just very quickly, have you any intention to go and see andrew malkinson and help him through this? well. to go and see andrew malkinson and help him through this?— help him through this? well, i offered today _

quite a lot of cloud, but some big breaks, some spells of sunshine. and thenjust behind me, this little swirl of clouds, that's the centre of an area of low pressure which will be pushing eastwards, bringing unsettled conditions for the next few days. in the short term, we keep quite a lot of cloud, mist and murk, some bits and pieces of rain overnight, although signs of some clearer skies edging in from the west. temperatures between 11 and 16 degrees. so, anotherfairly warm and muggy start to friday morning. so, for friday, quite a lot of cloud around across the eastern half of the uk to start. this band of rain moving very slowly across orkney and towards shetland. and later in the day, we will see this band of showers pushing in towards northern ireland. but in between, a bit more in the way of sunshine, just one or two showers here and there and temperatures between 17 and 24 degrees. so i think there is just the chance of catching a shower at the oval for the ashes test match, and the increasing chance of showers as we head into the weekend. and that is because low pressure is going to be in charge of our weather.

now, we've had low pressure with us for the last couple of weekends, and here we go again. now, around this area of low pressure, it's not going to be raining all the time, but there will be quite a few showers. on saturday, those showers most likely to affect parts of northern ireland and scotland, where some could be heavy and perhaps thundery. some showers for england and wales, perhaps not as many, spells of sunshine. in between. it's going to be quite a breezy day and a fresher day as well. temperatures north to south, 15 to 22 degrees. and then we get into sunday, sunshine and showers again. the showers perhaps focused across parts of northern england, down into east anglia. some more rain later in the day into northern ireland. across central and southern parts of the uk, it is going to be an unusually windy day for the time of year. nothing exceptional, nothing extreme, butjust unusually breezy for a late july day. and quite cool as well — 15 to 21 degrees. so, to sum things up, for the weekend, we will see

a mix of sunny spells and showers, some of the showers will be heavy. it will be quite breezy and feeling rather cool for the time of year.
