iamat i am at the glasgow science centre, as we ask how exactly glasgow is going to deliver on that goalsport, a century from ben stokes helps england build a sizeable first innings total on day two of the third test against south africa. also coming up... coining it in — a sovereign, struck when edward the eighth was king, has become the first british coin to sell for £1 million. good afternoon, welcome to bbc newsroom live. the eu parliament's chief brexit neogtiator says he's been given key assurances there will be no automatic deportation of eu citizens they have until june they have untiljune 2021 to make their intentions known. guy verhofstadt said he had received assurances from the government yesterday. let's talk to our political correspondent iain watson. it is not that surprising but it is interesting to get the confirmation. the government had said that people applying for settle status would be treated sympathetically. it has also been said to be a grace period, beyond the official deadline ofjune 2021. but also, they had said in the past nonetheless to that emigration laws

welcome to the glasgow science centre. edented levels of cooperation, massive behaviour change, those are the sort of themes that have been emerging today in our discussions about what it will take for glasgow to become carbon neutral. and of course, the focus for all of this is later this year, across the river, across the river clyde from where we are now, at the scottish exhibition centre, when those world leaders will gather to produce an international response on climate change, glasgow really wants to show that it change, glasgow really wants to show thatitis change, glasgow really wants to show that it is leading the way. our science editor has been out and about in the city, asking exactly how people might do that. the morning rush hour in glasgow. commuters pour into scotland's biggest city, nearly all their cars releasing pollution. motorways run straight through glasgow. for decades, the car has been king. but now there is a radical plan to go carbon neutral. new charging points for electric vehicles are being in

hello and welcome to your questions answered here from the empowering the future room of the glasgow science centreglasgow today for two key reasons, one at the end of this year, glasgow will be hosting a meeting of world leaders and eminent scientists talking about climate change, that is called cop26, the united nations climate summit thought to be possibly the most crucial one since the paris agreement was signed in 2015 and secondly, and certainly by no means the least important reason, glasgow is attempting to lead the way by setting a target of being carbon neutral by the end of this decade, by 2030. and of course, this year is thought to be an absolutely key one, an opportunity that the world can't afford to miss, say climate scientists in attempting to control global temperatures so thank you very much for sending in lots of questions, you have really engaged with this as our audience and we hope you will be throughout the year as the bbc launches our planet matters. so, let's get some of those questions answered for you. with me are weather presenter and meteorologist matt taylor and also

good afternoon from the glasgow science centre. on, cooperation, getting people in the room together at the same time, the right people, those are the recurring ideas i've been hearing so far today in glasgow when it comes to tackling climate change in weather that is on a micro level or a much larger scale in glasgow. we are here for a couple of reasons. later this year in november the un climate summit will take place across the river clyde here at the glasgow sec exhibition centre, and around 200 world leaders will gather here and many tens of thousands more, associated with the summit, to try and deliver an international solution to the climate emergency. as martin mentioned, glasgow wants to talk the talk but also walk the walk, to set itself as an example, becoming carbon neutral by the end of this decade. our science editor has been out and about in the city to find out more about how the city proposes to do just that. the morning rush hour in glasgow. commuters pour into scotland's biggest city, nearly all their cars releasi

it is great to be at the glasgow science centre in the week the bbc launches 0ur planet matters. glasgow, firstly at the end of this year there is a massive climate summit taking place in the city, it is the un cop 26, conference of parties, leaders from around the world will gather and it has been described as the most important meeting on climate since the paris agreement was signed in 2015. and as you heard, glasgow is a city that not only wants to talk the talk on climate change, but to walk the walk as well. it's target is to be carbon neutral by the end of this decade. but what does it take for a big city to do that? what example can that what does it mean in terms of the pace of change, what needs to be done? what is the is the role for individuals, business, transport, housing and so on? our science editor david shukman has examined that question. the morning rush hour in glasgow, commuters pouring to scotland's biggest city. nearly all their cars are releasing pollution. motorways run straight through glasgow. for decades, the car has been king. but now, there's a radica

thank you very much, i am at the glasgow science centre, quiet here now, but it has been filled withise of children learning enthusiastically all morning, learning about how life can become more sustainable. and let mejust more sustainable. and let me just show you, across the river from where we are, let's go gci’oss river from where we are, let's go across the river clyde to the opposite bank, you can see the exhibition centre which will be the focus of that un climate summit later this year, at which up to 200 world leaders, along with many thousands of delegates, will be trying to produce an international response to the climate emergency. that is the challenge. as part of that, of course, the uk has pledged to become carbon neutral by 2050. scotla nd to become carbon neutral by 2050. scotland by 2045, and as we mentioned in the introduction, glasgow even more ambitiously to 2030, the end of this decade. so our science editor, david shukman, has been looking at how exactly the city might try to do that. the morning rush hour in glasgow. commuters pour into scotland's biggest city

science editor is this morning for us. and they have some ambitious targets there in glasgow. good morning. yes they are ambitious. a fascinating place to be here at the science centrehat the moment of crisis has come. as a whole, the uk said an ambition of trying to be net zero, carbon neutral by 2050. more and more towns and cities up and down the country want to go faster than that. glasgow is one of them. it set itself the goal of being carbon neutral by 2030, just ten years away. so how will they do that? what are the challenges that the city faces on thatjourney to zero carbon? i have been looking at the plans for the city. the morning rush hourin plans for the city. the morning rush hour in glasgow. commuters pour into scotland's biggest city. nearly all their cars releasing pollution. motorways run straight through glasgow. for decades the car has been king. but now there is a radical plan to go carbon neutral. new charging points for electric vehicles are being installed. the aim is to make the city green in ten yea rs. aim is to make the city green in ten years. and the councils lorries will be adapted to run on clean hydrogen as well as diesel. this is on

not only is the science of climate change becoming clearer, but the demands, especially from younger people, are becoming stronger and later this year here in glasgow at the conference centreat could be the largest gathering of world leaders ever on british soilfor a united nations summit on climate change. and governments gathering there are meant to come out with new, tougher targets for cutting the emissions of the gases heating the planet. but at the gases heating the planet. but at the moment, those emissions are still going up rather than down. tell us about the proposal is that the government has come up with for farmers in england? yes, the government has come up with a radical plan. some say it is potentially the biggest change for farmers in a generation, where they will be rewarded not for owning land, but for looking after it environmentally, to encourage them to use the soil and the trees to store carbon. just one of many measures to try to tackle climate change. but the details of that have yet to come out. david shukman in glasgow, thank you. and you can find out more on the bbc news website and app at bbc.co.uk. and app at bbc.co.uk/news. prince harry has c
