of climate change. people get that and get the concept but the individual details, i think they've yet to get the persuasion and an effective way by government and that is because they know that these changes are potentially unpopular. i changes are potentially unp°pular-_ changes are potentially un--oular. . g ., unpopular. i agree with julian on the anxiety, _ unpopular. i agree with julian on the anxiety, have - unpopular. i agree with julian on the anxiety, have suffered and many times myself trying to get my daughter somewhere and you have a few miles left on the battery. it is not great, it is not convenient.- the battery. it is not great, it is not convenient. they have not pitched — it is not convenient. they have not pitched it _ it is not convenient. they have not pitched it well _ it is not convenient. they have not pitched it well enough - it is not convenient. they have not pitched it well enough and | not pitched it well enough and they— not pitched it well enough and they do— not pitched it well enough and they do not have the ability to be conveniently sustainable. the chargers and having enough of them is becoming a problem i think we are approaching a tipping point. and for tariffs, china, as a result of the tariffs put in place on electric cars as imposed taxes of european brandy today and it's a move that the french said as retaliation for the tariffs the eu in the us of put

on chinese electric vehicles. i just wondered, are we in the first skirmishes of a new global trade war? possibly but china is not — global trade war? possibly but china is not anyone's - global trade war? possibly but china is not anyone's friend i china is not anyone's friend and — china is not anyone's friend and i— china is not anyone's friend and i again, as i said earlier, there's— and i again, as i said earlier, there's not— and i again, as i said earlier, there's nota and i again, as i said earlier, there's not a lot of sympathy when — there's not a lot of sympathy when it — there's not a lot of sympathy when it comes to these organisations and a lot of sympathy was china right now. sympathy with china right now. china calibrates these things extremely carefully with the leaders in the west, looking at these sanctions, it could've been worse. these sanctions, it could've been worse-— these sanctions, it could've been worse. right, let's move on with the — been worse. right, let's move on with the election _ been worse. right, let's move on with the election and - been worse. right, let's move on with the election and we i been worse. right, let's move| on with the election and we are 28 days away and for weeks today and i'll be standing somewhere in washington telling you what the results are. a new

appear there but this week, she is going to the more traditional median trying to drown out donald trump, does that worry you? it drown out donald trump, does that worry you?— that worry you? it doesn't. an u date that worry you? it doesn't. an update from _ that worry you? it doesn't. an update from the _ that worry you? it doesn't. an update from the field, - update from the field, political organisation of republican women, we travel the country— republican women, we travel the country speaking to thousands of women and we are actually in the battleground states and i have — the battleground states and i have a — the battleground states and i have a team of volunteers right now in — have a team of volunteers right now in arizona last week there were _ now in arizona last week there were in— now in arizona last week there were in pennsylvania and this is not — were in pennsylvania and this is not the _ were in pennsylvania and this is not the only efforts we are doing — is not the only efforts we are doing in_ is not the only efforts we are doing in the states, state organisations, or state federations of republican women have been active the whole election— have been active the whole election and our target is not the non—republican voter, the independent whatever and whatever title you give them, you cannot always count on them to vote _ you cannot always count on them to vote republican, and they

asking which candidates represent change. 46% set harris and others in the administration as the vice president, he is seen as the change candidate, credit to her that she's been able to convince people that she is. and one recollects that they managed to enter by promising change with it any point despite the prompting of pests like me with that change might actually be by the challenge thatis actually be by the challenge that is faced kamala harris has been to uncouple herself from president biden and present yourself as standing in her own right and from her own record in office, use of the 60 minutes questioning their about immigration, topic which former president trump is made his own to some extent within this campaign and she has attempted to answer it and in the early phases of the campaign, she seemed rather reticent and rather leery of coming forward

and i think it has reached a stage that some of the voters must be regarding the selection is a dilemma rather than a choice but i think it is intriguing to see that she is facing questions as she seeks to stand on her own right and turned the table a on donald trump. the national oll on donald trump. the national poll would _ on donald trump. the national poll would certainly _ on donald trump. the national poll would certainly point i on donald trump. the national poll would certainly point in i poll would certainly point in the direction and that is probably why she has change tactics and is starting to appear on some of these tv sets. getting you an update from lebanon, let us remind you that if you're keen on the us election for viewers in the uk, question time will be holding a us election special on thursday on bbc one and they will be heading to the key battleground states of pennsylvania and the keystone state in the lead up

to the presidential election with bruce at the home and prominent commentators with an american audience. the question of the special will give those american voters the chance to quiz the panel on topics crucial to the election like the economy, foreign affairs, abortion as well as various policy preferences of the two candidates. that is thursday in question time and around the world and across the uk this is bbc news.

time for the panel. we've talked before about the population of scotland which we suspect it was falling but there's some interesting news today that actually, it is grown by the biggest amount since the 1940s. your

splendid and tender 20 years ago, the population was declining in the concern that it would damage the economic prospects or damage the prospects or damage the prospects of providing care for the elderly and not having enough people in there was a roach medic efforts made to try to reverse that by looking at possible visas in scotland and new figures are out today showing the population increasing and the biggest rise since the 1940s but the people of scotland showing up and in large numbers in the death rate unlike in england is still outpacing the birth rate in scotland and the increases entirely to immigration, people in scotland for the rest of the uk moving to scotland from overseas, there's another issue in itself immigration in scotland tends to be rather

where we're in the closing stages of chelsea women's first group match in this season's champions league. they're up against real madrid and it looks as though it's going to be a good night for sonia bompastor�*s side. they're leading 3—2 — mayra ram rez with chelsea's third — shortly after half time. just about to go into stoppage time — chelsea hanging on. in the other game in that group, celtic�*s historic night has ended in defeat. they're up against twente in their first ever appearance in the group stages — but are losing 2—0 —kayleigh van dooern with both goals and we're into injury time. england's cricketers have plenty of work to do — following the close of play on day two of their second test against pakistan. they'll resume tomorrow a60

runs behind — after pakistan were eventually bowled out for 556 in their first innings in multan. joe wilson was watching. there's always something to see the test match, if you really hard, alert living tape to make england fans could support the coach. james anderson had arrived and warming up with vigour. they could score if they wanted to end conditions, they wanted to end conditions, they were cautious the exception. england had to keep working for chances and catching them and going for ed2. displaying some urgency, aggression and just before tea on the second day, pakistan's total channel pass 500. finishing not the outcome of the endings finished like this but look at them, and the act of taking the catch and could

not open the batting and so, all the pope did and he was caught brilliantly. england were one down and still have 552 behind. but zack is back and in full flow, he will resume 6a not out and been possible stump should be a to bat in this entry on day three, what's not to love? jack grealish admits he didn't agree with gareth southgate's decision to leave him out of england's euro 202a squad. the manchester city midfielder was a shock omission after a disappointing season in front of goal — but grealish insists he could have brought more to the team than just goals. it was difficult to just watch the games and just watching them was difficult because, at them was difficult because, at the end of the day, everyone there is my close friends and they wanted them to do well.

but you don't want to miss out on winning the euros, you know. it's unfortunate for the guys who didn't manage to get over the last hurdle and yeah, it was obviously really difficult, you know, to watch. well grealish's team manchester city have accused the premier league of being "misleading" over the verdict in its landmark legal case on rules over commercial deals. city have written to top—flight clubs criticising the league's summary of the case verdict, saying it contains "several inaccuracies". city are not commenting on the letter. the premier league has also declined to comment, but a senior source has told bbc sport that it rejects any view that its summary of the ruling was misleading or inaccurate. meanwhile there's set to be change at manchester city's board level. their director of football cheeky bergiri—styne beaten in straight sets by

ukrainian who was ranked 62 places below the british player. there's been disappointment for british tennis number one katie boulter in china. she's been knocked out in the first round of wuhan 0pen — losing to ukrainian qualifier lesia tsurenko. boulter was beaten in straight sets by the ukrainian — who's ranked 62 places below the british player. meanwhile in shanghai, novak djokovic has moved a step closer to his 100th career title. he's into the last 16 after beating flavio cobolli — taking just over an hour to win in straight sets, dropping just three games. and finally — ipswich will be without axel tuanzebe for at least a month — after he suffered a bizarre injury. the defender severely cut his thumb — whilst doing the washing up. tuanzebe had started ipswich's first six matches in the premier league — before being absent in their a—i defeat to west ham on saturday. ipswich told bbc sport the accident occurred at home and said tuanzebe had undergone successful surgery. and that's all the sport for now. hello again.

it's been a mild but wet day for many of us today. things are going to change in the next few days. it's going to turn drier, but it's also going to turn colder. may well be some frost at night as well. tonight, though, is going to be on the mild side because we're keeping a lot of cloud. it's going to be very difficult to see the meteor shower. the really heavy rain that we're seeing across the south, it's going to move away into the north sea. further north, still some showery rain to come. and with all that cloud around, it's going to be mild. lowest temperatures will be in northern scotland at around seven or eight degrees. now heading into tomorrow, we're going to find some more showers breaking out for england and wales, not quite as many or as heavy as today, mind you, but there's more cloud in the north, bringing some rain down across eastern scotland into northeast england. western scotland and northern ireland should be a bit drier here, but it's going to feel colder across northern areas in particular. for all of us, temperatures will be a little bit lower than today, could reach 17 in the southeast where the winds are lighter, but it's a northerly wind that's beginning to arrive across scotland, northern ireland and northern england, bringing that chill.

there are some stronger winds here around the bay of biscay on wednesday. that's the remnants of ex—hurricane kirk, that's going to miss our shores, going to slide up towards central parts of europe. but it does allow that northerly wind to push down across all areas, dropping the temperatures as we head into thursday and an early frost in scotland. more cloud in the south will tend to break up, many places will have a dry day on thursday. a few showers around these windward coasts and the strongest winds will be down the north sea, feeling quite cold here. for all of us though, temperatures are going to be a bit lower, may make ten degrees in the central belt of scotland and 12 across southern parts of england and wales, so quite a difference from what we're seeing at the moment. now that northerly wind will move out of the way by the time we get to the end of the week. westerly wind picking up actually in scotland and that's where we're going to see more cloud and the showery

rain arriving as well. but elsewhere the winds will be light, could start with a touch of frost, but it should be a dry day with some sunshine around. but that cold air is still in place, so typical temperatures to end the week will be around 11 or 12 degrees. now over the weekend, temperatures will rise just a little. most of the rain is coming into western scotland and northern ireland. for much of england and wales it should be a dry weekend. some early mist and fog, but otherwise some sunshine.
