if this is bbc news, the headlines: pay up, or humanity will pay the price. the stark climate warning from the un secretary general as he calls for action from all nations. prime minister sir keir starmer says there will be a new �*ambitious�* climate target

for the uk. 35 people have been killed in china — 35 people have been killed in china in— 35 people have been killed in china in a _ 35 people have been killed in china in a car— 35 people have been killed in china in a car ramming - china in a car ramming incident _ israel has until the end of today to boost aid supplies into gaza or risk having some us military assistance cut off. a life or death decision for mps — details of proposed new laws on assisted dying in england and wales are published. let's ta ke let's take you straight back to paris. as part of the visit mark rutte is also going to be engaging with representatives from the french defence ministry. we've had a brief statement from both men in the past few minutes but let's get some thoughts from our paris correspondent. how does president macron sea france and

its role within nato? it’s president macron sea france and its role within nata?— its role within nato? it's no secret that _ its role within nato? it's no secret that he _ its role within nato? it's no secret that he wants - its role within nato? it's no secret that he wants to - its role within nato? it's no. secret that he wants to build up secret that he wants to build up a european arm of nato urgently and quickly. he's said that long before president tran got re—elected but how much more relevant is that idea now and that is certainly what he will have been pushing with mark rutte today. mark rutte will be receptive to the idea because this is the call from so many different voices now over here. a recognition that the world is changing and that europe needs to start taking on more of the burden of its own defence. president macron�*s line for a long time has been that europe has been dependent forfar that europe has been dependent for far too long that europe has been dependent forfar too long on that europe has been dependent for far too long on the that europe has been dependent forfar too long on the peace dividend that followed the end of the cold war and has come to rely in a way that is morbid on

america's security umbrella. so at the time of grave danger to world security it's time for europe to do more. that is what mark rutte was also saying, there has to be more investment and more of a plan and more coordination. countries in europe have to step up and put in more. one of the most interesting things i thought was that clearly it was an appeal by mark rutte to donald trump to stay involved and the way he is doing that is by saying it's notjust russia, it's notjust europe. russia is part of a nexus of forces in the world. the north korean arrival in the ukrainian conflict is extremely significant because that means that russia is transferring to north korea in return technology and many which means lig can develop their missile

systems and that puts a threat notjust europe but the indo—pacific and america itself. you can see how this kind of broadening of the issue away from just purely european affairs where everyone agrees that europe should be doing more, that is not an issue any more, that is not an issue any more, europe should be doing more, europe should be doing more, but mark rutte is saying that this problem that the world faces now and america faces now is notjust limited to the geographical entity that is europe it is much broader. russia is in alliance with china, iran and north korea and together this block is a threat together this block is a threat to american interests all over the world. to american interests all over the world-— to american interests all over the world. thank you for those thoughts- _ let's speak to dr marina miron, post—doctoral researcher, war studies department, king's college university. it was quite clear when we were

listening to president macron and mark rutte is that it's time for europe to step up and take more responsibility for its own security within nato. how easy is that going to be because it is their unity among all of the nato members? it is all of the nato members? it is a aood all of the nato members? it is a good plan — all of the nato members? it is a good plan for— all of the nato members? it is a good plan for sure _ all of the nato members? it is a good plan for sure because it aligns — a good plan for sure because it aligns with what donald trump would — aligns with what donald trump would want, namely to increase spending — would want, namely to increase spending on defence to 3% of gdp — spending on defence to 3% of gdp the _ spending on defence to 3% of gdp. the problem is how do you balance — gdp. the problem is how do you balance this with other policies such as decoupling from — policies such as decoupling from russian energy resources. you have — from russian energy resources. you have to then convince your constituents and populations as european — constituents and populations as european leaders that europe or european — european leaders that europe or european countries need to invest— european countries need to invest more in defence. that is one problem. the other problem is the _ one problem. the other problem is the defence industry in

europe, _ is the defence industry in europe, european government have _ europe, european government have been very reluctant to sign — have been very reluctant to sign long—term contracts with defence — sign long—term contracts with defence companies in europe in order— defence companies in europe in order to — defence companies in europe in order to produce the likes of ammunition or tanks. these companies of course don't want to make — companies of course don't want to make any commitments without a firm _ to make any commitments without a firm contract. that is all coupled _ a firm contract. that is all coupled with the supply chain crisis — coupled with the supply chain crisis we _ coupled with the supply chain crisis we have been witnessing for some — crisis we have been witnessing for some time, meaning that the prices _ for some time, meaning that the prices for— for some time, meaning that the prices for raw materials and shipping _ prices for raw materials and shipping prices and insurance prices — shipping prices and insurance prices have increased. also increasing the timeline for deliveries. so it is a good start— deliveries. so it is a good start essentially but it will be start essentially but it will he very— start essentially but it will be very difficult to implement it because there are so many factors— it because there are so many factors in— it because there are so many factors in play and of course we have _ factors in play and of course we have the war in ukraine and we have the war in ukraine and we have — we have the war in ukraine and we have the war in ukraine and we have the crisis in the middle _ we have the crisis in the middle east.— we have the crisis in the middle east. �* ., middle east. he'll pointed out something — middle east. he'll pointed out something mark _ middle east. he'll pointed out something mark rutte - middle east. he'll pointed out something mark rutte said i middle east. he'll pointed out. something mark rutte said and

he is trying to broaden the perceived threat from russia and saying worker —— russia is working with north korea and iran and china and that threatens the indo—pacific region as well. we have already talked about what's happening in the north korean soldiers in kursk who are fighting for the russians, can you take us through what he means by the other part of that, what is china and iran giving to russia at the moment?— at the moment? actually, the funny thing — at the moment? actually, the funny thing is _ at the moment? actually, the funny thing is it _ at the moment? actually, the funny thing is it is _ at the moment? actually, the funny thing is it is these - funny thing is it is these sorts— funny thing is it is these sorts of— funny thing is it is these sorts of necklaces are nothing new — sorts of necklaces are nothing new if— sorts of necklaces are nothing new. if you recall the iran—iraq war, iran was buying weapons — iran—iraq war, iran was buying weapons from both china and north— weapons from both china and north korea. so it's a long—standing issue for transatlantic security, these sorts — transatlantic security, these sorts of _ transatlantic security, these sorts of alliances. for russia it means _ sorts of alliances. for russia it means new markets. it's not 'ust it means new markets. it's not just china _ it means new markets. it's not just china and iran offering those _ just china and iran offering those possibilities to russia

and also _ those possibilities to russia and also the exchange in terms of military— and also the exchange in terms of military equipment. we have players — of military equipment. we have players like india and generally speaking the entire brix consortium. i think it's important _ brix consortium. i think it's important to look at it much broader— important to look at it much broader than even president macron— broader than even president macron is saying and think of possible _ macron is saying and think of possible ways to counterbalance that sort — possible ways to counterbalance that sort of alliance because it includes latin american countries, african countries. it's countries, african countries. it's not _ countries, african countries. it's notjust one specific region _ it's not 'ust one specific reuion. �* ,, it's not 'ust one specific region.— it's not 'ust one specific reuion. . ., ., it's not 'ust one specific reuion. ., ., region. always good to have you with us. thank _ region. always good to have you with us. thank you. _ let's get more now on our top story — the un climate change conference, cop29, in baku. in what was described by the hosts as an early win, agreement was reached on rules governing the trade of carbon credits. the deal would allow countries to buy credits for removing

or avoiding pollution in other parts of the world and have it count towards their own emissions targets. but critics say the agreement was rushed. let's speak to professor mercedes maroto—valer, who is the deputy principal for global sustainability at heriot—watt university and has also been appointed to the un s council of engineers for the energy transition. what did you make of this deal on the trade of credits? article six has been discussed for quite some time and it's good we have started cup 29 with good news. yes it's true some things could be packed out a little bit but the important thing is we have an overall consensus and that has been under way for quite some time. do you think that means we are going to get a deal on boosting funding for climate action in developing countries which is such a key part of cop29? that is one of the — such a key part of cop29? that is one of the key _ such a key part of cop29? trust is one of the key questions is whether we are going to be

going from the current agreement we have for climate finance to something that is going to be much larger and it's not only the goal but it's also going to be the mechanisms to implement that finance. what to implement that finance. what is the argument _ to implement that finance. what is the argument for _ to implement that finance. what is the argument for this - to implement that finance. what is the argument for this kind of climate finance because we had from antonio gutierrez earlier saying it can be seen as charity. earlier saying it can be seen as charity-— earlier saying it can be seen as charity. that's correct. we need to move _ as charity. that's correct. we need to move away - as charity. that's correct. we need to move away from - as charity. that's correct. we - need to move away from thinking climate finance as charity. climates chatted —— climate finance is good business. it raises the question about prosperity and carbon neutrality and those two things can go hand in hand. with the negotiators working it's about who's going to be paying into fund because right now it's only 100 billion and estimates we should be going at least to $1.3 trillion. who's going to be paying that and going to be contributing the mechanisms to use that money?—

at least 35 people have been killed in a car—ramming incident in southern china. a car broke through a barrier and ploughed into people exercising outside a sports centre in zhuhai in guangdong province. at least another 43 people were injured. the 62—year—old driver was arrested at the scene. police say he suffered severe injuries and is in a coma. they believe the man was dissatisfied with his recent divorce settlement. president xijinping described the incident as 'extremely vile' and called for the perpetrator to be 'severely punished'. our china correspondent stephen mcdonell reports from the scene — where officials appear to have organised groups of local communist party loyalists to attack any journalists who arrive.

people in china are in shock following the events that unfolded in front of the stadium. normally you can go in and exercise, there are running tracks and the like and you have groups of community dancing in this type of thing. but then a man in his 60s drove in their and but then a man in his 60s drove in theirand run but then a man in his 60s drove in their and run down people. according to the police dozens of them have now died and dozens more have been injured. the death toll may even increase. we are just getting hassled. we are obviously getting hassled here by these people so we will walk over here a little bit. i don't know if they are being organised by the party to try and stop this type of thing happening. xi

jinping has called on officials all over the country to try and settle community disputes to prevent this type of thing happening in the first place. and i suppose what is he going to say after all? it's really an inexplicable event. according to the police this official of the official reason we are giving is this man was upset about his dispute with his wife after the division of his wife after the division of his property following his divorce and for some reason this has led him to drive into this has led him to drive into this complex and kill people. he also harmed himself it seems with a knife and according to reports he is now in a coma. so all of this has been very disturbing. you can see why it might inflame tensions and why

they might be local party officials trying to organise and stop us from reporting on this. it's the type of thing that has happened unfortunately in china before. there are these copycat mass attacks. somebody has some sort of grievance in the end up taking down complete strangers and then we have this type of thing of the government trying to stop it from happening.

that was our china correspondent steve mcdonald in an altercation with a local person. he is outside where this scar running took place on 35 people were killed. someone they are trying to stop him filming. he said party officials seem concerned that the media is on site. so steve mcdonald with that from china. a us deadline, set 30 days ago, for israel to improve the humanitarian situation in gaza expires on tuesday. the united nations says israel has not done nearly enough to meet the american demands which include allowing more aid in, evacuating the sick and critically injured and limiting civilian casualties. israel has crossed many of america's red lines before during the course of its war against hamas with few consequences.

so how might the us respond now in the dying days of the biden presidency? israel does not allow international journalists uncontrolled access to gaza. our correspondent in jerusalem jon donnison looks now at to what extent things have improved in gaza since the us deadline was set. much of gaza now looks unliveable. a month ago, america once again demanded israel take steps to reduce the number of civilian casualties. the united nations says more than 1,000 people have been killed in the last 30 days — the majority, it says, were civilians. nizar needed to see with his own eyes. in the bag is the five—year—old's auntie. his uncle, their children and nizar�*s sister were also killed when israel attacked a school housing displaced families in central gaza. israel's military says

it was targeting hamas. "god is all we need," cries nizar�*s brother. there is food in gaza — if you can get your hands on it. this the daily scramble for bread, if you can afford it. translation: if it were not for the soup kitchen, - we would have starved to death. every day, it's the same struggle. i go back and forth to the soup kitchen. on gaza's northern border, this is zikim. you can see the war is not over. but israel has reopened a number of crossings to allow aid in as the us requested. it's not enough. america demanded that, by now,

israel should be getting a minimum of at least 350 aid trucks into gaza every day. but over the past month, the united nations says the daily average has been only just over a0 trucks a day. israel does not allow international journalists free access to gaza. but i spoke to the main un aid agency there. we've got this deadline set by the united states. have their demands been met? no, there is not enough aid here, there is not enough supplies. people are starving in areas. people are very hungry. they are fighting over bags of flour. there is just not enough supplies. for more than a year, israel has crossed most of america's red lines. much of this was done using us weapons. but in the dying days

of the biden presidency and with more than 43,000 palestinian lives lost, it's unlikely the white house will put its foot down and cut off arms supplies. jon donnison, bbc news, jerusalem. the labour mp, kim leadbeater, says her bill to legalise assisted dying in england and wales would be among the strictest in the world. under the legislation, adults with less than six months to live would be able to end their life, but only if they can self—administer the fatal drugs. the patient would also need approval from two independent doctors and a high courtjudge. she's been speaking in the palace of westminster. we know that the current situation is not fit for practice. we've got people, who in their dying days, feel they have no other option than to either end their own lives, travel to a different country but only if they can afford to do so which is very expensive, and often doing so prematurely before they are actually so ill that they are dying

because they have to be fit enough and well enough to travel. we've also got people who no matter how good the palliative care they receive is, and we have got some of the best palliative care in the world in this country, that does not mean there aren't challenges and we need to talk about those as well, but for some people, no matter how good that care is, they have a horrible harrowing death. which is not only dreadful for them as individuals, but it's also deeply traumatic for their families. and once you meet families who have had that experience, whether that is a harrowing death, whether that is an assisted death abroad or whether that is someone taking their own lives, you realise very clearly that this cannot go on. the status quo, for me, is not an option. and that is what the bill is about. we also heard from nat dye. he has terminal cancer and has been giving his reasons for supporting the bill. yes. i'm doing all the living i can. i'm hoping for the best. i might have brain surgery soon. i'm hoping to survive that.

who knows? maybe chemo will work and i'll be cancer—free for a bit, and i'll be able to ring that bell. i mean, no one's really giving that to me, but i still hope. however, i'm hoping for the best, but i'm preparing for the worst. and i see this bill as a chance for people like me to maybe, just maybe, not necessarily need to, but maybe avoid that worst case scenario of an horrific death. let's speaking to our political correspondent, damian grammaticas. what do those who oppose the bill say? what do those who oppose the bill sa ? ~ ., i. ., ., what do those who oppose the bill sa ? ~ ., ., ., ., bill say? what you hear from a ranue bill say? what you hear from a ranae of bill say? what you hear from a range of mps _ bill say? what you hear from a range of mps across _ bill say? what you hear from a range of mps across parties i range of mps across parties because this is an issue on which every mp has their own opinion, so for instance we've heard today from the liberal democrat leader ed davey, he has said he doesn't support this and the reason is because

he thinks rather than this would provide a new option and a new freedom and reassurance to people at the end of their lives, he thinks it might actually add to the pressure and that people who were approaching the end of their lives would fail a burden and responsibility perhaps to end their life in order not to be a burden on theirfamilies their life in order not to be a burden on their families and others. so he is concerned about it from that point of view. we've heard from conservatives like danny kruger who says he is concerned that although this bill has safeguards built into it, that it is only for people who are assessed to have six months or less to live, only for those with terminal illnesses like cancer, not the people with disabilities or mental illnesses or depression and things like that, he says once you open a door where the state says it's ok for the medical profession to be involved of a

people to be able to take their own lives at the end of life, that that is a door that will only open wider and he says thatis only open wider and he says that is what has happened in otherjurisdictions. and he says the other safeguards is not sure they will work because the safeguard you have to have two doctors underjudge, he says the experience in other pieces of the people would go to doctors they know will approve the request. both of those people, the liberal democrat leader and the conservative mp, say they want more focus on end—of—life care, better end—of—life care so that people feel they will be better taken care of in their last days. the doctors and some of those supporting the bill today, what they have said is that simply doesn't work in some cases and this is an important reassurance. what will happen is in two weeks' time mps will have a free vote and the prime minister himself said just a short time ago that he is still undecided. he wants to look at the safeguards in

this. and then he's, we don't know how they will break down, we know they are split but we don't know what the final vote is going to look like. but it will be an individual vote and a vote of conscience because the parties will not direct them. ., , ., , ., them. there are strong views on either side _ them. there are strong views on either side of _ them. there are strong views on either side of course. _ them. there are strong views on either side of course. thank - either side of course. thank you so much. scientists have concluded that fixing led strip lights to the bottom of a surfboard may deter something that surfers most dread — attacks by great white sharks. the fish have poor eyesight and are believed to mistake surfboards for seals or other prey. the new study, conducted in south africa, suggested that underside lighting disrupted the ability of great whites to see silhouettes against the sunlight, reducing the attacks. the next few days are looking largely dry but it won't always be sunny. today we have seen lingering fog across parts of western scotland and northern ireland and i think the next few days will bring more of the same. often grey and often

murky, some areas of fog. that fog lingering throughout the afternoon across some parts of northern ireland and western scotland. a few showers across the southeast ringland and the channel islands. quite breezy here as well. temperatures as we enter the afternoon between nine and 13 degrees. as we head through this evening and tonight those showers in the south—east corner will become mostly confined to the channel islands. fog reforming across parts of wales and northern england and south—west scotland. most especially across northern ireland. another chilly night. temperatures for the could drop below freezing. but milder towards the north of scotland because here we will see a lot of cloud courtesy of this weather front. of cloud courtesy of this weatherfront. a of cloud courtesy of this weather front. a very weak weather front. a very weak weather front. a very weak weather front running into our area of high pressure so not much more than a band of cloud in a few spots of rain moving southwards across scotland into northern ireland. it will turn into a pretty grey day in northern ireland. that cloud

extending into northern england and parts of wales. further south, some spells of sunshine. michelle is easing in the channel islands. temperatures around 10 degrees. thursday we will see some large area of cloud and it will be misty and murky places. they could be some spots of drizzle. some sunny spells. temperatures around 11 or 12 degrees. on friday things to look similar once again. some sunny spells but large amounts of cloud. it will be turning increasingly windy across the north of scotland with a more active weather front pushing into the picture. some outbreaks of rain without and that front will seek its way southwards and eastwards as we head into the start of the weekend. it then looks like an area of low pressure will develop so things will be unsettled as we head through the weekend and into the start of next week it looks like things will turn colder and they could be in some

places some wintry showers. today at one — a proposed new law on assisted dying for england and wales. supporters say the aim is to shorten death, not end life, and would come with strict safeguards. critics say people could feel pressure to end their own life. also on the programme. the bbc confirms presenter gary lineker will leave match of the day at the end

of this season. the prime minister commits the uk to a new climate change target to cut emissions by 81% by 2035 compared to 1990 levels. this is how we move towards better jobs, cheaper bills, higher growth, the industries and technologies of the future. growing pressure on the archbishop of canterburyjustin welby to resign over his handling of a child abuse scandal. and coming up on bbc news — top of the wsl and in europe too, manchester city will try to keep their unbeaten start to the season going when they face hammarby in the champions league tonight. good afternoon and welcome to the bbc news at one. the mp behind the new assisted dying bill insists it's about shortening death, not ending life, as she held
