to kick start talks on climate change. president obama prepares to meet palestinian and israeli leaders together, but can he bring change? where next? a question for hundreds of asylum seekers forced out of a camp in northern france. checkmate -- grandmasters reunite as they do battle again. coming up this hour, the tragic love affair between his -- a poet, john keats, and his news, it's the silver spring -- and his , hits the silver screen. it is 7:00 p.m. in beijing, mid day here in london and 7:00 a.m. in new york or world leaders are gathering in an attempt to breathe new life into deadlocked negotiations on reducing greenhouse gases. china's president is expected to announce new plans to cut his

country's carbon emissions. barack obama will also address this one-day summit. will they be able to bridge the gap between leading producers like their countries and the developing nations bearing the brunt. live to beijing in a moment. but first from the correspondent barbara plant. >> it makes the point, save the rainforests and stop global warming. celebrities joined the environmental activist, making their pitch. time is short to deal with dangerous levels of greenhouse gases. it took a day to put up, 40 seconds to pull down. it stunts like this around new york city aims to rally the public as political leaders gathered to debate the climate change treaty. >> we need to come together in effected groups for global, mass action. history has demonstrated that when an individual effort can't

change things, what is required is a critical mass of people. >> you can't see greenhouse cases, so in case you forget, a reminder -- right in the metal -- middle of manhattan. this is a carbon counter. right now it is 3.64 trillion metric tons. the message to world leaders is this is an urgent problem and something about it. the u.n. secretary general has traveled to the arctic to emphasize the world is heating up, hoping to break a deadlock in treaty negotiations between rich and poor nations on who should cut carbon emissions and how much. many had accepted his invitation for troubleshooting summit in new york. at this ceremony, there are smiles and speeches. but it is just two months before the deal is said to be agreed in copenhagen. >> you've got to get out of this a clear path to a new low carbon future. that is the challenge that we've

got to meet. >> the pressure is on. it is hoped the summit will give political momentum to the crucial climate talks. bbc news, new york. >> much expected of hu jintao. let us go to our correspondent in beijing. this is a country seeing pretty dramatic examples of what climate change candid. what might we expect from the president? >> what we won't expect is caps on carbon emissions because china is a country that is still growing, many millions of people to lift out of poverty, and to do that they need energy and most will still come from coal. what china is going to attempt to do, and we expect he will release the details later today, is become more efficient. many of the factories and power plants that have taken china through this great economic

revolution are getting a bit long in the two if so they are being replaced by more efficient models. the -- getting a bit long in the tooth, so they are being replaced. china has been doing a great job, leaped from the united states in terms of wind power. it has done a similar job in solar power. >> it still terrifies many other countries around the world, the scale of the expansion within china. >> absolutely, david. it has only just got started. china is the world's biggest polluter, about 1.8 billion tons of carbon back in 2007 released into the atmosphere. but still some way to go. the country is expected to continue growing at a huge economic growth rate for many years to come.

but there is a recognition, not just around the world, but here in china, that the current path is not sustainable. this country is regularly flooded in the south, it has huge desert in the north. this is a country that is at risk. so china wants to keep the economic miracle going, but it needs to take climate precautions, too. >> thank you for joining me in the studios. our environment correspondent richard black. richard, give us the context of this summit? >> it could be a big deal because the u.n. negotiations that have been going on all year have become deadlocked. this is a chance for leaders to talk person to person, in small groups to thrash out differences. the hope is in the context, relatively less formal, something can be generated.

>> we still get a sense that we are looking for a leader, aren't we? president obama came on the scene. great hopes that he might turn the tide, a change of attitude. the president of china today -- is anyone emerging? >> quite a few leaders are emerging who are taking relatively small and in turn -- incremental steps. president obama is not able to lead the u.s. in the direction he might want. he is constrained very much by domestic politics and what congress will let him do. if mr. jintao comes out with the dramatic announcement today, that will have a big impact. there are many in congress that demand china and india signed up to something. will this be enough to placate these people? and for other developing countries, will they take china's lead? and carbon intensity target,

will they be prepared to adopt those? >> in copenhagen, do you think they will really do it? >> we currently have a 200-page draft treaty and 2000 bits of text that have yet to be agreed. >> richard, thank you very much. apart from trying to reach agreement on climate change, barack obama will also be hosting three-way discussions with israeli prime tester benjamin netanyahu and palestinian leader mahmood abbas in new york -- israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu. joining me is our correspondent. i just wonder if there is any expectation at all for this meeting? >> i think expectations among ordinary palestinians are pretty low. president mahmood abbas, whose compound lies just behind me, said he would not attend the talks unless he could get a

guaranteed freeze on further settlement expansion in the occupied west bank. president obama and his special envoy george mitchell were not able to secure that. i think for many palestinians, they will feel that president mahmood abbas compromise, offered a concession just by sitting at the table. >> let us go over to jerusalem as well. can you offer anything record than that? >> the israelis are not expecting any breakthroughs. they have lost the least of this process. john is absolutely right that the palestinians had it to climb down a bit. and the americans lost a fair bit of face as well, given it was so high when president obama came into office, the way he was talking about his attempts to resolve it once for all. and also his insistence that settlement activity stopped.

well, it hasn't. the israelis offered a temporary freeze of sorts but it did not mean the construction activity in the west bank and east jerusalem would cease altogether. now the big question for the americans is, what are they going to do next. will they just go at a very slow and incremental pace and try to keep some sort of process going, even if neither side believes in it? or are we going to push hard? >> john, going back to you. mahmood abbas said already the road is blocked. and it is clear with more settlements being allowed, presumably he feels simply his hands are tied. >> he does. he does feel, though, he has the support of the palestinian people at least here in the west bank. one thing i think is interesting is palestinians, their relationship with president obama.

i was looking at graffiti on the security there year that divides ramallah from jerusalem and it met -- read in the palestinian colors, yes, we can. i think that reflects a sort of solidarity with president obama and with his policies. but i am not very sure it really stands up any more. i was speaking to local businesses here in the center yesterday and they were saying they don't really feel president obama has anything different to offer from george bush or bill clinton. >> john, thank you very much. tim, as well, from jerusalem. yes, we can, if one of the expressions that could apply to many things. including this -- iran testing a new generation of centrifuges. it already has thousands used to make fuel for reactors. it has long defendant its nuclear program -- defended its

nuclear program. a group of south korean officials are on their way to north korea for temporary reunions. 200 families will get an opportunity to meet their relatives. this is part of a recent series of conciliatory concessions north korea has taken toward south korea and washington. a new commander, b matsaggert -- matt baggert. three people were jailed for plotting a rocket attack on a police could check -- patrol. american government announced plans to ensure all traffic on the internet is treated equally regardless of bandwidth. content providers including google and out of favor the rules but many others are opposed. -- google and yahoo favre the rules. we will get market analysis and

25 minutes. but it was all about climate change. >> we've got the corporate world weighing in at the u.n. summit. in fact, 600 of the world's biggest companies, on a unified approach. the corporate leaders group. they are saying of course they want to seek immediate and deep cut by the rich countries but before they make any progress what they want from the governments of the world is to be more clear what policies the government will put in place on the environment. until that is done it will be awfully hard to spend the billions they will need to reduce carbon efficient products and infrastructure needed to do all of that. in fact earlier my colleague -- we spoke to the ceo of kingfisher, one of the european retail giants, and one of the company's lobbying for real change. he told us what the coalition is looking for. >> we signed up over 20 of our chinese suppliers to for the

first time in getting involved in those types of issues. i actually think international companies can play a role organizing their own supply chain in the countries they operate to make sure this is not just developing verses developed countries. >> that are some companies prepared to move before. aviation industry, the bad boys, according to many people, there is news? >> interesting you say the bad boys because it is an interesting -- industry that has been vilified despite the fact it has made more efficiencies than any particular sector, if you will. the ceo of british airways will make a presentation to this summit today, representing really the entire aviation industry -- air cargo, etc. -- and they will make a 50% cut in carbon emissions by 2015 -- 2050. a big task but something many say they need to get their message out and the progress

they have been making. >> see if they can do it. thank you very much. you are watching "world news today." coming up shortly, chaos in calais -- french police battled with protesters as a campus torn down. -- at a camp is torn down. thousands of supporters of ousted honduran president 912 zelaya defied a curfew and spent the night outside the brazilian embassy in the capital -- ousted honduran president non welt zelaya. -- manuela zelaya. >> mr. zelaya greeted his supporters. thousands gathered to see him. this is a statement to believe he has come home for good. in a bbc interview he said he would work for a diplomatic outcome. >> i am willing to find a solution to this process, and if that solution consist of talking

to the interim president, roberto micheletti, i am willing to do this. nothing will stand in a way to find an answer to this problem. >> the de facto president, roberto micheletti, first denied mr. zelaya was in the country and then demanded he be handed over to face charges. >> as article 30 of the constitution stipulates, by deciding to return to honduras mr. zelaya accepts his duty to face the charges against him for numerous violations of honduran law. >> washington says dialogues between the two sides was imperative. >> also imperative that the return of president zelaya does not lead to any conflict or violence, but instead, act in a peaceful way to try to find some common ground. >> mr. zelaya had been living in

exile in nicaragua since without the three months ago. the crisis erupted after his critics accused him of trying to change the constitution to allow his own reelection. now he is out of the country, the pressure on mr. micheletti has increased. this is the worst crisis in honduras in decades and it is not over yet. bbc news. >> this is "world news today" from bbc world news. the man had lines -- china is expected -- the main headlines -- china expected to produce a plan to reduce carbon emissions. the white house played down hopes of a breakthrough as president obama prepares to meet the palestinian and israeli leaders in new york. hundreds of police officers in northern france have cleared a camp set up by illegal immigrants trying to smuggle themselves into britain. the area of makeshift shelters

in the port known as the jungle has been known -- home to hundreds of mainly afghan men. officials closed a red cross center in november 2002, read about what about the people were thought to be in a makeshift camp. france did pledge earlier in the year to cleared out, because of the scene as a safe haven for human traffickers. the u.k., however, once the border to their country to be better sealed. we will go to our camp where our correspondent is watching events. the state of affairs now, dominick? >> we really reached in the endgame for the camp known as the jungle. let me step out of the shop for a moment. you might see a large bulldozer moving in the next few minutes. scooping up the debris and left by a man who has been in there with a chainsaw chopping down bushes and trees, and i expect

after that you can see behind the bulldozer perhaps the blew roofs, one of the shelters used by the migrants here. this operation really started just after sunrise this morning when a convoy of police vehicles swept up this road and 600 and so officers went into the area behind me, the jungle, as it is known, and they had a confrontation with some local human rights protections. i have to say, the migrants -- migrants themselves were standing there pretty quietly really, some of them with tears. the police managed to get rid of the protestors -- many were minors under the age of 18 and they were able to be taken away, trying to work out where the people have come from. >> this was pretty well

publicized, wasn't it? this clear out, we have been waiting for four days. and there were hundred to read the writing on the wall and they pushed off. what happens to them? >> absolutely. just a few weeks ago there were 800, maybe 1000 people called this place behind me home. it very squalid camp. the shelters were makeshift. there are no toilets. it just limited running water. as soon as it became clear the camp was going to be closed down many of the people drifted away. the vast majority drifted away, up the coast, down the coast, but they say that is the problem -- they will be back in a few weeks' time, either here or the problem will just be displaced to some other community in northern france where they will set up camp somewhere else. >> thank you very much, indeed. certainly does not sound like the end of the story. the u.s. and britain both

recently outlined billion dollar proposals for in vicious high- speed rail networks. what might they look like? one country that could answer that in spain. it only started on a high-speed market business in 1992 but it is already on course to overtake japan and france as the country with the most miles of track. our correspondent took a high speed journey from madrid to barcelona. >> the feature of long-distance travel looks like this -- at least that is what spain hopes, having invested billions in high-speed rail. these early morning passengers are heading for barcelona. the trip that used to take for a half hours, but with today's bullet train, the journey time has been cut by almost half. at this hour the clientele is mostly business. people in the past that would have flown to barcelona. but now for the first time the majority of travelers are using the train.

>> it is much faster and convenient way. it is comfortable, i can wait. the mud with the airport -- you spend more time. >> door to door, the train is quicker. >> absolutely. >> spain only entered the race for high-speed rail in 1992 but it caught up fast. the government here boasts by the end of next year spain will have the most extensive network of high-speed rail in the world. undertaking a -- overtaking japan and france. by 2029 at a 10 spaniards will have a high-speed station within 20 miles of their home. one station stop, a sitting it went -- midway between madrid and barcelona which logically enough is selling itself as a meeting place. all around the station, hotels and conference centers have

sprung up. the bullet train has brought more tourists and has given the city an image boost. >> the technology is very important because the companies need -- components need to be made. >> we continue on, 200 miles an hour. ticket prices similar to the airlines, it is making an operating profit. another 120 billion europa investment was promised by the government. but in a recession, some people think it is not achievable. >> now we are in an economic crisis. and the government has to chew -- choose carefully where the resources can be assigned. at high speed rail for me is not a priority. >> journey's end after a little over two and a half hours. there may be doubts about whether a government in the red can sustain its investment, but never before has barcelona been

so connected to madrid. it is impressive, and there are lessons here for others. bbc news, barcelona. >> bessin and how to win the hard way. -- a lesson on how to win the hard way. >> american football -- but i think rugby is slightly harder. if positions is not intend of the law, peyton manning -- not since the 1970's as a winning team had last possession and won an nfl game did it happen monday in miami with the colts have been the ball for less than a quarter of the time but still beating the dolphins. miami -- 3 yards, the dolphins lead 20-13. into the third quarter, donald brown, 15-yard running touchdown for the colts and then pierre -- here we are with a weaving run and evading everyone. in the visitors led by three. miami had one last shot of

victory -- trying to decide whether this is really a hail mary pass. basically throw the ball up and see what happens and pray for the best. it was intercepted. the dolphins went out 23-27. major league baseball, leading team in national league central, cardinals, three more wins to clinch the division. on monday, here they are in houston facing the astros. mark the dawn of the damage, almost two solo homers, one in the third and one in the sixth. american league central -- it is in chicago. minnesota twins beat the white sox 7-0. chicago had a rookie pitcher on the mound, did not have a good night. about was orlando cabrera coming home thanks to an error and in the fifth cabrera was on second base and then an rbi getting him home.

triumphant return of cami clusters -- kim clijsters but just been henin will announce a return, and she is only 27 years old -- justin henin. >> let me just remind you of the top stories. world leaders, including presidenthu jintao in china are said to me for a climate change summit in new york. they will discuss plans for a cheats -- treated to replace the kyoto protocol. the u.n. chief, negotiator says he believes president who jintao could release dated ambitious plan to reduce the carbon footprint. >> funding was made possible by the freeman foundation of new york, stowe, vermont, and honolulu, the newman's own foundation, the john d. and catherine t. macarthur

foundation, union bank. >> union bank has put its financial strength to work for a wide range of companies from small businesses to major corporations. what can we do for you? >> he was a dreamer. >> i was floating above the trees with my lips connected to those of a beautiful figure. >> were they my lips? >> she was a realist. >> my sister has met the author. she wants to read it to see if he's an idiot or not. >> with every word he wrote -- >> a thing of beauty is a joy forever. >> inspired the romance that would live forever. >> i get anxious if i don't see you. >> i must warn you of the trap you are walking into. >> you know i would do anything. >> "bright star," from jane campion. rated pg, now playing in select
