new zealand's prime minister formally apologises to those abused in care over the past 70 years. a new analysis of old data has uncovered the mysteries of uranus and its five moons. hello, i'm sally bundock. we start in baku, azerbaijan, where it is day two of the united nations climate change conference — also known as cop29. world leaders from around 200 nations are due to appear over the next couple of weeks but many have chosen to skip this cop, notably us president biden, india's narendra modi, from europe, ursula von der leyen, olaf scholz,

and emmanuel macron, china's xijinping, and the prime ministers of canada and australia. however, delegates have already approved new standards for a global carbon market that will allow richer countries to offset carbon pollution by investing in clean energy projects orforests in poorer countries. how will this work? our climate editorjustin rowlatt reports from baku. in the last few days, wildfires have been burning on both coasts of the united states. there was even a bushfire in a new york city park. meanwhile, the philippines is in during its fourth cyclone in three weeks. this reminder of the weather extremes of climate change is likely to bring comes as the latest round of un climate talks opened.

the head of the talks warned of those risks. colleagues, we are on the road to ruin. climate change is already here. like in somalia, where it is driving even hotter, drier weather, which in turn is deepening conflict. the cause? the emissions made by developed countries as they got rich, yet poorer countries like somalia feel the impacts ha rd est. we are not talking about something that is nice to have. we are talking about a threat to humanity here, so we really, really need to look at it like that and take it very, very seriously, because it affects everybody on the planet. but there has been progress here. the final component of the landmark paris agreement has been resolved after ten years of fierce negotiations. it aims to create a market to allow rich countries to pay poorer countries for emission reductions, think wind turbines

in south africa or planting trees in south america. carbon cutting measures are often cheaper in developing countries so the hope is this will generate billions of dollars to help them target climate change. but the list of countries whose leaders won't be attending is growing. it now includes china, the us, the eu and brazil. but there are some newcomers. the taliban spotted a photo op. meanwhile, sir keir starmer has arrived. tomorrow, he will be announcing the uk's target for cutting emissions over the next decade. the hope it will encourage others to bolt action, as these tricky talks begin. justin rowlatt, bbc news, baku. a lot more from baku we will hearfrom businesses a lot more from baku we will hear from businesses at cop29 as they assess the cost of current climate crisis and what

needs to be done, solutions wise, or that still to come. let's take a look at what is going in the us. the us president—elect, donald trump, is pressing ahead with key appointments to his administration following his election victory. rumours and reports are swirling around who could take some of the top jobs in his second administration. we already know, among others that tom homan is planned to be nominated to serve is planned to be nominated to serve as mr trump's, quote, as mr trump's, quote, "border czar".

frenzied speculation, not least surrounding the positions of head of the national security department and the secretary of state position. it is widely reported here, that the florida senator marco rubio has been tipped to head, to become the secretary of state and the new trump common —

share one thing in common — they are so called china hawks. mike walls serves on a house of representatives task force that was set up to co—ordinate us policy on competing with china. david willis there. we have got so much online about what is going on in the us, the appointments who is pitched to get other key positions in the white house, to take a look. details have been published of a proposed law that would legalise assisted dying in england and wales, ahead of a vote in parliament at the end of the month. the legislation would allow those who are terminally ill, with less than six months to live, to self—administer medication to end their lives. those behind the proposed legislation insist that there are safeguards in place to protect those who could be coerced into killing themselves. our political correspondent hannah miller reports. we wa nt we want choice! nine years have

passed since the seas outside parliament in his last voted on assisted dying and said no. now the mp can lead beta has bought forward a new bill she says contains the strip just safeguards in the world after consulting with experts and organisations on all sides of the argument. it organisations on all sides of the argument.— organisations on all sides of the argument. organisations on all sides of the arc ument. . , . the argument. it has given me a very holistic _ the argument. it has given me a very holistic view _ the argument. it has given me a very holistic view of _ the argument. it has given me a very holistic view of the - very holistic view of the issue. which has resulted in me producing this piece of legislation which i think addresses the real concerns people have. but still, solves the problem i think that needs to be solved — which is looking at the law as it stands which is just not the purpose. and as leading to people having horrible deaths. to leading to people having horrible deaths.- leading to people having horrible deaths. ., , , horrible deaths. to be eligible a erson horrible deaths. to be eligible a person must _ horrible deaths. to be eligible a person must be _ horrible deaths. to be eligible a person must be over- horrible deaths. to be eligible a person must be over18- horrible deaths. to be eligible a person must be over 18 and| a person must be over 18 and registered with a gp for at least 12 months, they must be terminally ill, expect to die within six months and have the mental capacity to make the choice about the end of their

a haitian businessman, alix didier fils—aime, has been sworn in as the country's new prime minister after his predecessor was ousted, having spent less than five months in office. mr fils—aime promised to put all of his energy into restoring security. new zealand's prime minister, christopher luxon, has made a "formal and unreserved" apology in parliament on tuesday for the widespread abuse, torture and neglect of hundreds of thousands of children and vulnerable adults in care over the past seventy years. christopher luxon told survivors that their mistreatment was heartbreaking. let's have a listen to some of what he had to say. today, i'm apologising on behalf of the government to everyone who suffered abuse, harm and neglect while in state care. today, i make this apology to all survivors on behalf of my own and previous governments.

you deserved so much better, and i am deeply sorry that new zealand did not do better by you. i am sorry that you were not believed when you came forward to report your abuse. i am sorry that many bystanders, staff, volunteers and carers turned a blind eye and failed to stop or report abuse. today i am announcing a national remembrance day will be held on november 12 next year to mark the one year year anniversary of this apology and this will provide us with an opportunity to stop and reflect on what you have endured to ensure we are doing all that we can to prevent future abuse. let's speak to our correspondent, phil mercer in sydney. for victims how important was this apology? it’s

for victims how important was this apology?— this apology? it's been a very lona this apology? it's been a very long time _ this apology? it's been a very long time coming _ this apology? it's been a very long time coming earlier - this apology? it's been a very long time coming earlier this| long time coming earlier this year a royal commission a huge public enquiry, the longest and largest and most complex in new zealand's history detailed abuse and care institutions dating from 1950, to 2019. that royal commission estimated there were more than 200,000 young, vulnerable adults and other children who were the victims of physical and sexual violence and care institutions run by the state, churches and other religious organisations. it is a day we have heard this rare apology from a new zealand leader, christopher luxon, the prime minister saying, the abuse perpetrated over 70 years, was both horrific and heartbreaking. i years, was both horrific and heartbreaking.— years, was both horrific and heartbreaking. i mean, looking at this enquiry. _ heartbreaking. i mean, looking at this enquiry, took— heartbreaking. i mean, looking at this enquiry, took six - heartbreaking. i mean, looking at this enquiry, took six years | at this enquiry, took six years to complete, thousands of interviews were taken place with survivors. the question is

— care system needs to be looked at very carefully now, doesn't it to make sure does not happen in the future? the ro al not happen in the future? the royal commission _ not happen in the future? tie: royal commission made not happen in the future? tue: royal commission made more not happen in the future? tte: royal commission made more than 130 recommendations, the government today says it is well on track to adopting 28 recommendations so far. with the promise of more to come. the prime minister saying next year it will give a full update on all of those recommendations, but quite clearly, this is a very shameful chapter new zealand's history. this was abuse perpetrated on some of the most vulnerable in society. christopher luxon did highlight that indigenous maori people and others from pacific communities in new zealand, along with those with disabilities were especially affected by the abuse, in many instances, it was covered up by institutions and the

perpetrators spirited away, very few of those perpetrators actually faced justice. so for many survivors and their families, today has been an important time in terms of healing but many do say that government plans for redress, for compensation have been moving far too slowly. t for compensation have been moving far too slowly.- moving far too slowly. i was 'ust moving far too slowly. i was just about — moving far too slowly. i was just about to _ moving far too slowly. i was just about to ask _ moving far too slowly. i was just about to ask about - moving far too slowly. i was just about to ask about that | just about to ask about that because i have seen some survivors saying this apology rings hollow unless there is a proper plan for restitution. but that is not really in place yet? but that is not really in place et? ., , �* . yet? no, it isn't an christopher - yet? no, it isn't an christopher luxon l yet? no, it isn't an i christopher luxon was yet? no, it isn't an - christopher luxon was at yet? no, it isn't an _ christopher luxon was at pains to point out next year, he will be giving a fuller update on all of those recommendations. the royal commission did recommend this public apology that we have heard today but of course if you have 200,000 vulnerable adults and children being abused, many of whom would have passed away, there would have passed away, there would still be a very large number of people whose lives

have been blighted, many of whom would clearly welcome not only the apology but also the promise of compensation. that is yet to be agreed, so quite clearly there are huge challenges for the government in the months and years ahead, firstly to assuage those concerns of survivors and their families and also crucially, to make sure you care system is simply safe who are looking for safety and comfort in it. phil mercer in — safety and comfort in it. phil mercer in sydney _ safety and comfort in it. phil mercer in sydney for - safety and comfort in it. phil mercer in sydney for us, thank you very much. around the world and across the uk. this is bbc news.

china's aviation industry takes centre stage at the china international aviation and aerospace exhibition in zhuhai. the air show, one of the largest in the world, is watched closely by analysts

and rival powers as it gives rare clues on beijing's military hardware development. the show this year will feature the debut of the j—35a stealth fighter. upon its commissioning, china will become the second nation after the us to have two types of stealth fighter jets in service. key highlights include also the latest version of the chinese navy's fighter jets, that adds catapult—launch capabilities. and china's close ties with russia are also on display. moscow has brought its most advanced su—57 fighterjet to the air show for its first overseas demonstration. let's speak to our china correspondent, stephen mcdonnell. what is that you have behind you? here at the airshow i am currently on the drone section

as you can see. but really as you mentioned what everybody wants to see is the release of this new cutting—edge latest generation stealth fighter, the j—35a. any other aircraft that can take off from aircraft carriers and the like, but by no means is that all there is to see here, there is so much year and we have got the super wide lens on here so you can see how big the strainers. this drone the key to x operation i'll show you what is under here, this fall under here, not only can take surveillance type photos, it can fire out a laser to light up a target. why would it want up to light a target? because of these missiles. in the full operation these missiles also have their own little cameras in them, so after they have taken off they are trying to follow the area lit up by the laser, and all the way down it can be

monitored until it hits its target. 0bviously china wants to show off its military might hear but they want to sell these things as well that is what getting people from all over the coming to the airshow many countries to see what kits they might want to buy. stephen, just looking at that because the head of airbus china, hasjust been because the head of airbus china, has just been talking at the airshow saying, that in the next quarter they have got deliveries from the factory, to airlines including easyjet and was there, there are a lot of customers there, key customers for planes built in china? absolutely, and on those civilian aircraft, china wants to show it as its home—made passengerjets and eventually they will have their own they

will be flown using their own jet engines also made in china. so china hope it can dominate that space as well then you go through all the other things you can see here, for example we have flying cars that will be used as taxis and delivery vehicles. rocket launchers, signal blocking equipment also to be used by the air force, to stop enemies being able to track where you are going, there is all manner of being on display. and we should mention the presence of the russian air force here, the latest fighter jets are on display and i guess thatis jets are on display and i guess that is a message also in terms of the growing links between the kremlin and beijing. china corres'pondent, stephen mcdonnell there. here are a story grabbing the headlines on many of the front pages. gary lineker is to step down as host of match

of the day at the end of this season. he's been the presenter of the show since 1999, and as the corporation's highest—paid star, has attracted controversy as well as a huge following. david sillito reports. match of the day, it's been part of life for 60 years, and in 1999... hey, tell you what — football's back. ..a new presenter. any good? have i got thejob? 25 years on, he's finally saying goodbye, and for many in the footballing world, it's a loss. as well as his footballing expertise that he brought into the match of the day studio, he's actually an outstanding presenter. probably his first year, he would probably admit this himself, he wasn't a sort of natural, but he worked so hard to be a very good presenter. good morning, gary! but some will not be sorry to see him go. gary lineker�*s politics, his position at the top of the list of the highest paid bbc stars and his activity on social media led to him making headlines again and again. last year, match of the day was reduced to a montage of truncated commentary—free footage when his colleagues downed microphones in protest at him

being briefly suspended after a tweet in which he described government policy on asylum—seekers as, "immeasurably cruel. " gary lineker soon returned, but the question was for how long? how long do you see yourself continuing on match of the day? i don't know. it depends how long they want me, i suppose. but we'll have to wait and see what happens. and now, after several weeks of negotiation, it's been decided, this will be his final season on match of the day. but he will still present live football coverage until the end of the 2026 world cup. and it's far from the end of his media career, his podcast empire is in rude health, but an era is coming to an end. and without doubt, his favourite moment, the day his team, leicester, won the premier league — a moment so unexpected, he said he'd present the show in his underwear if it happened. it was a bet he was happy to lose. but apart from that, nothing

much has really changed. david sillito, bbc news. the planet uranus and its five biggest moons have been thought to be dead, but new research suggests otherwise. analysis of data gathered by nasa's voyager 2 spacecraft almost a0 years ago suggests the possible presence of oceans. here's our science correspondent pallab ghosh. uranus is an icy world in the outer reaches of our solar system. it's among the coldest of all the planets. scientists are studying the first pictures of the planet uranus. the public got its first close—up look in 1986, when nasa's voyager 2 spacecraft flew by and sent back these sensational pictures of the planet and its five major moons. the data it sent back suggested that the planet and its moons were inactive, and it also found that uranus's protective magnetic field was strangely distorted. but a new analysis shows that voyager 2 flew past on a bad day.

this is the position of the magnetic field of uranus when voyager 2 flew past. the field should act like a bottle, capturing the gases that the worlds give off. voyager 2 found none, indicating that they were all dead, sterile worlds. it turns out that the readings were taken during a powerful solar storm, which might have blown the gases away. the storm also distorted the magnetic field, which had really looked like this. all of which means that uranus and all five of its moons might be active and have oceans. so these results mean that the uranian system could be much more exciting than we previously thought. there could be moons there that have the conditions necessary for life. they might have oceans below the surface, which could be, i don't know, teeming with fish. one of the scientists working on the 1986 voyager flyby was delighted to hear about the new results, which have been published in thejournal, nature astronomy.

i find the new results very fascinating, and i'm really excited to see that there is potential for life in the uranian system, and that so much is being done with the voyager data. that is really amazing, that scientists are going back and looking at this data, collected in 1986, and finding new results and new discoveries. it's been nearly a0 years since voyager 2 flew past the icy world and its moons. nasa plans to launch a new mission, due to arrive in 2045. scientists hope to find out then whether the moons might have the possibility of being home to life. pallab ghosh, bbc news. business today is next, live in in a moment. —— baku.

hello, there. high pressure still dominating the weather story, but a change of wind direction has brought a change of fortunes. we have more sunshine around on monday, and the rest of the week will continue to be largely dry, with some decent sunny spells from time to time. but clear skies by day continue through the night, �*and at this time of year that can lead to fog and some light frost around, i suspect, first thing tuesday morning. so temperatures out to the west, closest to the centre of the low into low single figures. bit more of a breeze across east anglia and the south east. so here, temperatures will hold up, but that runs the risk of a few scattered showers. so the fog across north wales, northern ireland and into western scotland slow to lift away during the morning. it will gradually do so, and the emphasis is with a good deal of dry, sunny weather generally across the country. a few scattered showers continuing along the kent coast and down to the channel isles. but in terms of the feel of the weather, not as warm as last week, but hopefully the sunshine will compensate — eight to 13 degrees our overall high.

now, tuesday into wednesday, the high pressurejust drifts a little bit southwest, and allows this weak cold front to move in. so that's going to introduce more cloud to scotland through the day on wednesday, and gradually into northern ireland and through the borders. it will also bring some showery outbreaks of rain, slowly drifting its way steadily south, nothing particularly significant, and south of that again we keep the sunshine, with highs between nine and 13 degrees. move out of wednesday into thursday, it's almost a repeat performance. we will be chasing a little more cloud around from time to time, but light winds on the whole. a bit more of a breeze, once againjust running in off the north sea, but temperatures similar values to the last few days. now, as we move out of thursday into friday and potentially the weekend, we could start to see a change. the high pressure eases off into the near continent, and that allows weather fronts to move in from the north and west. there's still a level of uncertainty, but there is a potential of a low pressure to develop to the north, and so, generally speaking, that is going to change the wind direction once again to a cooler, northerly

flow, and so that means the temperatures are likely to fall away. so as we head towards the weekend, there'll be some showery outbreaks of rain around at times. monday into tuesday starts to see it noticeably colder as we head into the following week.
