11:00 am
emmanuel macron will greet king charles here. the bands are playing and the roads have been closed, not long to wait now. one of the world's biggest car markers, ford, has warned the uk government that pushing back a ban on sales of new petrol and diesel cars to 2035 would undermine business certainty. it comes after the bbc revealed that the prime minister rishi sunak is considering a major shift on key climate action policies. the chair of car manufacturing giant ford uk, has hit out, criticising the goverment�*s annoucement. the uk 2030 target is a vital catalyst to accelerate ford into a cleanerfuture. our business needs three things from the uk
11:01 am
government: ambition, commitment and consistency. a relaxation of 2030 would undermine all three. here is mike hawes, chief executive of the society of motor manufacturers and traders. as you would expect, a great deal of concern. the industry has invested billions in this transition and a lot of it has gone into the uk already, the government has backed that. you have seen them invest in the tata battery factory in somerset, mini production in cowley, electric vehicle for commercial vehicle production in ellesmere port. so we've got mixed messaging when you're investing in there. if you want to attract and continue that investment, you need a strong market. we want to see what is being said, because at the moment we are getting this mixed message about what is it that the government wants. i'll tell you, if you want to achieve net zero, you have to decarbonise road transport. this morning home secretary suella braverman backed
11:02 am
the prime ministerfor making difficult decisions on net zero and putting household costs first. the prime minister is taking an approach of pragmatism and proportionality when it comes to delivering our net zero commitments. it's right that he assesses the issue as a whole, taking into account people's bank balances, livelihoods, the way they are living their lives and the cost of living challenges that many families around the country are facing. and ultimately, we are not going to save the country by bankrupting the british people. in the last hour, conservative mp for middlesbrough and former treasury minister simon clarke has spoken to our deputy political editor, vicki young calling the expected move a misstep by the government. my my reaction this morning is one of real concern because clearly, whilst we see the details in the prime minister's speech, what has been
11:03 am
trailed suggests significant change in our policy. that policy is not some arbitrate target. it is the basis on which major companies across the uk in fields from the car industry to the wider energy sector are investing billions of £ hopefully creating tens of thousands ofjobs. that is now, i would argue, in peril, because of what feels like an unnecessary political missteps and a misreading of where the bridge people are on this issue. the opposition labour party have condemned the proposed changes by the government and our political correspondent henry zeffman is reporting that the party are set to commit to reinstating the 2030 ban on the sale of new petrol and diesel cars. the shadow chief secretary to the treasury darrenjones was speaking to the bbc this morning. most importantly, this is more risk for the british economy and british business. these targets are important so that british businesses know how to invest in their workforce and their factories. the government has been signing off hundreds of millions of pounds of taxpayer subsidy to help businesses get ready for these long haul changes and now rishi sunak
11:04 am
is u turning via leaks and midnight statements from the bunker of downing street. that is not how you run a country. let's now speak damian grammaticas, our political correspondent. this policy or pushback on policy has not even been announced and there has been a huge reaction? i think what you're seeing is a scrabbling on all sides because as you say, these are clicks that came out through the bbc yesterday of what the government was considering. not actually seems to have been completely decided upon yet. held very tightly, it appears, at the heart of downing street, so can't industry, mps like simon clark, others, all unaware that this big shift in policy, and it is a really big shift in policy if it happens, is in the offing. when that leaked, even downing street, i think, record
11:05 am
on the hop so everybody has been scrabbling to catch up and what you see there is the labour party reacting to this so a little unclear at first but it seems to have been since that interview which you played a clip from their of darren jones, the shadow chief secretary to the treasury who speaks on many issues for labour, what he has said a little later this morning was that the labour party, even if the conservatives scrapped or pushback that target for banning sale of all new petrol and diesel cars, 2030 is it the minute, if they pushed it back to 2035, which seems a possible to, that labour would reinstate it, put it forward again to 2030. that is important because a couple of things. number one, the labour party clearly had listened to what companies like ford have been saying and they too have been trying to grapple with this and come out and
11:06 am
formally to their own responses. a very strong response from ford this morning. ford saying that rishi sunak, it said, they said he lacked ambition, commitmentand ambition, commitment and consistency. ambition, commitmentand consistency. they needed consistent policies to ship their business plans. labourseemed policies to ship their business plans. labour seemed to respond to that saying they would keep those targets. first of all responding to what they are hearing from industries and secondly, including terms what is interesting is, labour is deciding to get out and formulate that distinctive policy. that would put it at odds with the government and create a dividing line but clearly labour believes there is electoral advantage. the government, it seems, must feel as if there are ways reasons for wanting this change, notjust economic as suella braverman was saying, but electoral, too. you heard simon clark, he is a
11:07 am
senior mp from those seats which the conservatives seized from the labour party last time around. he is warning that he doesn't think this adds up to the conservatives political. breaking news in the past few minutes — the crown prosecution service is to bring a charge of murder against a metropolitan police officer over the death of chris kaba. chris kaba was hit by a single bullet in streatham hill in south london, in september lat year. the police officer who has not been named at this stage will appear at westminster magistrates' court tomorrow. live now to our reporter greg mckenzie at new scotland yard. i know you have been following this story from the start. remind us of the background to this, who he was and what happened to him.- the background to this, who he was and what happened to him. chris, was and what happened to him. chris, was a father to and what happened to him. chris, was a fatherto be. — and what happened to him. chris, was a father to be, 24-year-old _ and what happened to him. chris, was a father to be, 24-year-old black- a father to be, 24—year—old black man who was fatally shot on the 5th of september in streatham. following

11:11 am
azerbaijan's military has been trying to take full control of the disputed territory. so, before we go any further, a quick explainer about how we got here. nagorno—karabakh, which lies in the mountainous south caucasus region, is at the heart of one of the world's longest—running conflicts. the territory is recognised internationally as part of azerbaijan but large areas of it have been controlled by ethnic armenians for three decades. azerbaijan and armenia fought a bloody war over the territory in the late 19805 and early 1990s. russia, which prevously oversaw both countries as part of the ussr, has previously sent peacekeepers. but fears of fresh violence came when azerbaijan mounted an effective blockade of a vital route into the enclave in december 2022. let's get more on this with our correspondent in tbilisi, rayhan demytrie. reports people being driven
11:12 am
quite a rapid development of this story. in the last hour, we have heard as the ethnic armenian leadership, they have reached a ceasefire agreement that was mediated by russian peacekeepers that are stationed in nagorno karabakh. there are three points in the ceasefire agreement the first one is that nagorno karabakh leadership has agreed to disarm in the second point is that they have agreed to withdraw any remaining military units and military equipment of the armenian armed forces, that is despite all the denials that we have been hearing for days now from the republic of armenia saying it has no military presence in the region. the third point under this ceasefire agreement is that azerbaijan will meet tomorrow, on thursday, in a town 100 commenters north from the regional
11:13 am
capital, to discuss the future of the armenians leaving nagorno karabakh, their safety and security, and also the process of reintegration of the armenians into azerbaijan. just reintegration of the armenians into azerbai'an, , , , reintegration of the armenians into azerbai'an. , , , ., azerbaijan. just put this into context for _ azerbaijan. just put this into context for us, _ azerbaijan. just put this into context for us, given - azerbaijan. just put this into context for us, given this . azerbaijan. just put this into - context for us, given this conflict has gone under similar decades, how significant do you think this develop and as cosmic as abrasion media and some of the officials have described it as a keen surrender. they say armenians have surrendered. there is no doubt that militarily, azerbaijan is so much more powerful than whatever military forces the breakaway region has had, or its self defence army, and some of the statements that we heard from the leadership was that they have lost some strategic highs in the past 24—hour is and they have realised
11:14 am
that they are just incompatible militarily to fight against azerbaijani forces but of course, here is also the role of russia which is really important. russia mediators this agreement but as i understand for now, even though it just happened within the past hour, the leadership of the republic of armenia was not part of these negotiations between ethnic armenians and the republic of azerbaijan, so does quite a significant development, at least it means that there won't be any more casualties among the civilian population but of course the situation is extremely difficult for ethnic armenians. process of reintegration, we are talking about decades of conflict and hatred that was fostered between these two nations and this process of reintegration will be extreme difficult. king charles and queen camilla are beginning their three day state visit to france today.
11:15 am
the royal couple will visit paris and bordeaux. we can speak live now to lewis vaughanjones who is in paris... welcome to the arc de triomphe and in the last few minutes, the roads have gone quite quiet. they have just been closed off. getting ready for emmanuel macron to welcome king charles. let us take a look at the plan for the day. it will start here at the arc de triomphe where there will be a poignant, formal ceremony. the king will be invited to take part and in the rekindling of the flame, laying a wreath to remember those who lost their lives in the first and second world war. 0nce those who lost their lives in the first and second world war. once the ceremony is finished, there will be a fly—past and then it will be on to the presidential palace and there will be a bilateral meeting, conversation between president macron and king charles. then on
11:16 am
into the evening, it is the state banquet at the palace of versailles was up a very formal affair, as you can imagine. while that location? it is a nod, we are told, to queen elizabeth ii, and her visit there in 1972 and before that in the 50s as well. we are expected to hear toasts from both men at that point. that gives you an idea of the outline of the plan of attack for today. a moment to reflect on not only the religion ship today but also the history between france and the uk. we are just point to here the thoughts now of our royal commentator. when the queen was, the only loved country— when the queen was, the only loved country was — when the queen was, the only loved country was france. she remembered, when _ country was france. she remembered, when she _ country was france. she remembered, when she came first in 48, on the river_ when she came first in 48, on the river seven— when she came first in 48, on the river seven with her husband, it was

11:19 am
do. they will talk about defence issues, environment, climate change, all these kinds of themes will be coming up, notjust in that meeting but throughout today and tomorrow. you may remember that this is actually a rescheduled trip. this was all supposed to take six months ago. it was the intention that france would be the first state visit both of it ended up being germany. why? e—mail member that emmanuel macron at that point was pushing through pension reform and they were not particularly popular with many in france and there were protests and it was seen as just impossible to make a state visit at that time. so instead, the king headed to germany but now, he is heading to france to finish the unfinished business. hundreds of teenagers across the uk have told a survey for the bbc they want social media and technology companies to do more to stop pornography appearing while they're on social media or gaming sites.
11:20 am
more than a third of 13—18 year olds questioned said they'd seen pornography online, including when it appeared without them seeking it out. anxiety was also a feature of life with a large proportion saying they feel anxious some or most of the time. live now to bbc radio five live's lucy grey from the midlands arts centre in birmingham. i think from that server you mentioned we spoke to 2000 young people between the ages of 13 to 18 and i think what is really striking is the role that sexual images are playing in their lives but also the dominance of social media. they are really living their lives through their phones. you were speaking there about pornography and more than a third saying they had seen it, especially accidentally. they want social companies to do more to stop them seeing pornography when they are on gaming sites or when
11:21 am
they are on gaming sites or when they are on social media and it is just appearing without them sticking it out. we also heard a lot about this exchange of sexual images and also, the reliance on their phone, the anxiety they feel when they don't have their phone with them. more than half said they feel anxious if they don't have their phone with them. more than 100 teenagers here in birmingham talking to us today on the bbc about the issues facing them. we have two people who have been inside that theatre, talking for two hours, so thank you for talking to us. we are talking generally about the issues affecting young people, what is it you have been saying is a big issue for you at the moment with mike i feel there are so many influencers on instagram, twitter, tiktok and even youtube sometimes and they think they have this power and dominance over communities and the social hierarchy because of where
