i let's get the politics of all this from our chief political correspondent, adam fleming, also in glasgowof big deals early on in the conference. some up the mood of the gathering so far.— of the gathering so far. number ten is very happy _ of the gathering so far. number ten is very happy with — of the gathering so far. number ten is very happy with the _ of the gathering so far. number ten is very happy with the reaction - is very happy with the reaction to the forest deal, and they say even though it is a pledge first made in 2014, it did not include brazil and china then. it includes brazil and china then. it includes brazil and china now. it is also a big tick for one of borisjohnson�*s very high profile four pledges for this gathering, to take action on trees, but what about the other three — to phase out coal, petrol and diesel vehicles across the globe, and to sort out that huge amount of funding thatis sort out that huge amount of funding that is meant to be going from rich countries to poorer countries quit smack those other three priorities are very —— to poorer countries quit

our chief political correspondent adam fleming is in glasgow. as a first draft, is it looking positive or disappointing? well, the organisers and the drafters of this document say they have been unashamedly ambitious and that they are putting in a big ambitious opening bid that could be whittled away over the next few days rather than starting with a lowball offer that they hope to add to. in terms of the big thing about limiting the increases in global temperatures, whether it is 2.0 or 1.5 degrees by the end of the century, which are the two targets of the paris agreement, what this initial draft does is look initially a bit vague, but once you read it a couple of times, you realise they are trying to put in place a whole load of processes that will pressurise countries into coming up with ever more ambitious targets for cutting their greenhouse gases. so for example, you have a road map that everyone agrees to about where you want to get to by 2030, and if you want to get to by 2030, and if you have a road map, people can be judged on whether

adam fleming saying not a big bang moment with a draft agreement. humanitarian crisis along the border between belarus and poland continues to escalate, as more migrants head to the border, only to be caught in a political limbo between the two nations. polish police say they found a body of a young syrian man on the polish side of the border overnight. our correspondentjenny hill is in the border town of bialystok. the stalemate continues on the external border. some footage emerged yesterday of trucks arriving in the camp delivering what appeared to be woods and trees and so forth. anyone they do pick up ends up in a detention centre, we believe, here in bialystok. it's very difficult to get any information about that, they'll certainly not let us into the detention centre to find out. ngos in the area, we understand, are lying very low but they are running around in those woods trying to make sure that if anybody there, they can at least give them the necessities, a bit of food, water, and any medical aid that they might need. a team from the bri

let's talk to our chief political correspondent, adam fleming. good morning to you.iticians, a lot of very powerful language is already being used today as leaders gather for this first day of their part of the summit. boris johnson, normally known for his pretty ebullient style, he is not saying it is a given that, at the end of this summit, there is going to be the sort of deal that so many people want. so, how are as he about the process here? figs people want. so, how are as he about the process here?— the process here? as you said, he is normally so — the process here? as you said, he is normally so optimistic— the process here? as you said, he is normally so optimistic about - normally so optimistic about everything and is often accused of being too bullish. the reason he is so optimistic is that the conditions that have already been announced, country saying that they will reduce their own carbon emissions, it is nowhere near enough, so far, to limit global temperature rises to the 1.5 degrees celsius which is the most ambitious goal in the paris climate change

our chief political correspondent, adam fleming, is in glasgow for cop26, but adam, that goings—on inepped the line with his lobbying and they recommended he be suspended from parliament for 30 days. normally that has to be approved by a vote in the house of commons. a group of conservative mps backed up eventually by the government instead voted that they should be an opportunity to change the system for how mps are disciplined. they will now be a new committee to look into that. it has proved to be very controversial and one of the by—products of it is the owen paterson case has been paused. rather than him being voted to be suspended for 30 days, it has been paused and there is an investigation into the entire system. taste paused and there is an investigation into the entire system.— into the entire system. we were s-ueakin into the entire system. we were speaking to _ into the entire system. we were speaking to labour— into the entire system. we were speaking to labour mp - into the entire system. we were speaking to labour mp kim - into the entire system. we were speaking to lab

thank you very much, adam fleming.country's health agency chief has issued a stark warning that intensive care beds are filling up rapidly — as weekly infection rates soar to an all—time high. the current surge is being blamed on a relatively low vaccination rate. our correspondent in berlin damien mcguinness told us about the new measures being put in place. what we're seeing today is that the government and the parliament are going to decide new measures because emergency legislation from the old government is now expiring next week. so we have an incoming new government, which makes things more complicated politically, and they are going to decide today on a bunch of new measures in order to get down those infection rates because, as you say, what we are seeing right now are record high infection rates. this is the worst that germany has seen right through the pandemic. this morning we surpassed the 60,000 new infections per day mark which is the highest germany has ever seen. officials are describing this as an eme
