i don't want to answer to the provocation of the politics of mrjohnson, frankly speaking.d peace, which is our concern. because what could happen, which is serious also — once again, the british does not respect their signature on their agreement on brexit forfisheries. because of this aukus crisis, i think the situation is serious. looking at what could happen in the next five years, if i am the french president, i would try to always think about the future and the necessity of good co—operation between us, and not to sacrifice this future to the present. in the present situation, i think the uk government has to be very careful. do you think that the tensions between the uk and france — you mentioned the fisheries, fishing, because we're seeing tensions over fishing rights for french boats — and the uk is rejecting more than 80% of application by french boats to fish in british coastal waters. we've also got pressures on the policing of migrants trying to enter the uk across the english channel from france. do you think that we're going to see these kinds of tensions get

to use the analogy of the deputy chief medical officer, mrjohnson thinsk it is much better to attaches to the tent now, than to try and fit them retrospectively once the storm is upon us. so to that end, there will be booster vaccinations for the over 50's, one dose of vaccine for the 12—15 year olds, and its highly likely they will mandate vaccines for all health workers. here's our deputy political editor vicki young. adapting to seasonal change means thinking and planning ahead, especially in a pandemic. some things ministers can't control, but the government needs to be ready for the unexpected. borisjohnson swept away most covid restrictions in england injuly, and for now, he remains confident. the result of this vaccination campaign is that we have one of the most free societies and one of the most open economies in europe, and that's why we're now sticking with our strategy. in essence, we're going to keep going. with this, the vaccination programme. it began with margaret keenan in coventry last december. across the uk, the over—50s and vulnerable adults will be offered a thi

the move breaks a conservative manifesto pledge not to raise taxes, justified said mrjohnson because. this lunchtime, at prime minister's questions, the labour leader sir keir starmer attacked the government, saying some people needing care would still have to sell their homes. good afternoon that vote will happen in around about two hours' time here in around about two hours' time here in parliament. it's expected to go the governments way. they have been fair from the governments perspective that's been quite a big back ledge did not backlash against his move promising not to raise any taxes in the event technically a handful of conservative mps will abstain this afternoon. the tory mps have been speaking to are largely saying they don't see any alternative to putting up taxes. first and foremost to pay for the nhs to deal with the backlog that's been caused by the pandemic. also this long—term plan for the social care system. nevertheless a feisty debate in the house of commons is afternoon, open earlier this afternoon, open earlier this afternoon by the treasury minister. the gov

really big focus of this climate meeting, and there was a real sense of urgency about it too will sub mrjohnsonference, that's going to be a turning point in these efforts to try and limit global warming, and these are very general went further. he said, we are actually on a path to collective failure unless we step up to collective failure unless we step up and turn things around. 0therwise up and turn things around. otherwise that conference will not be a success. so they are really using this un general assembly to build momentum, to twist arms, to try to send an urgent message that this commitment will need to be made. thank you very much, barbara. a volcano has erupted on the spanish island of la palma in the canaries. thousands of residents have been evacuated. it's the first time the cumbre vieja volcano has erupted in 50 years. thousands of tremors had hit the area in recent days, as james reynolds reports. after a week of tremors, the cumbre vieja volcanic ridge erupted. no one has seen anything like this in the island la palma for half a century. it has created its own apocalyptic lan

the proposal is causing an almighty row among mrjohnson�*s own mps.n my view i think raising national insurance is the wrong approach. somebody earning £30,000 a year will pay a far bigger portion of their income in national insurance than someone earning £750,000. would you be willin: to someone earning £750,000. would you be willing to vote _ someone earning £750,000. would you be willing to vote against _ someone earning £750,000. would you be willing to vote against it? _ someone earning £750,000. would you be willing to vote against it? i _ be willing to vote against it? i haven't shied away from making my view clear, but i want the government to have the flexibility to change. there are a significant number of colleagues i think who are opposed to a national insurance rise. so in a second we will look at how other countries do it. but let's for a moment concentrate on england. 0ur westminster correspondent iain watson, has been following a meeting of conservative backbenchers tonight, attended by the finance minister rishi sunak. so the first sk

earlier this evening mrjohnson's government approved use of army vehicles to deliver fuel supplies.

that was a big win for mrjohnson, who was determined to cement a crucial relationship that�*s had itsg together on shared priorities, and nowhere is that more evident than when it comes to the climate crisis. mr president, see you in glasgow. thank you. applause. barbara plett usher, bbc news, new york. 0ur reality check correspondent chris morris is here. plenty of rhetoric in the build—up to this summit in november. let�*s talk about some of the details. is interesting listening to boris johnson because the speeches of the un often addressed several issues. we heard that from president biden earlier. he is not shy about meandering around various things was that this is all about the climate. as the big dealfor him now. these are the four areas progress is urgently needed. and cash and trees. but sticking to a couple of those. cole. the idea of rapidly facing the use of coal. phasing out. in the developing world, that is a really big step because china is the leader and doing that but what we do not know is the timeframe for that, currently under construction and of course the issue

and as we've heard from mrjohnson, a big push to increase the overall amount of money provided is certainlyt. by 2018, about three quarters of the public money made available for climate action in developing countries was in the form of loans that need to be paid back rather than grants that don't. the share of grants was higher to the very poorest countries, but still less than half the total. and that is a big problem in countries where the covid pandemic has made access to international funds even more pressing. many countries are already heavily in debt, and huge loans will make that problem worse. so, it's a critical issue. the message from the world's poor to rich countries in the run—up to the glasgow summit, "if you want ambitious climate targets, you're going to have to pay for them." police in derbyshire have arrested a man as part of a murder investigation after four people were found dead at a house in killamarsh near sheffield yesterday. the force say they are not looking for anyone else in connection with the deaths. two children were found dead at the house along with their m

the president also issued a fresh warning to mrjohnson that peace in northern ireland must not be jeopardised of the complications caused by brexit. our political editor laura kuenssberg reports from washington dc. side by side, borisjohnson�*s visit to the most famous political office in the world finally took place. the president regaling him first with stories of the american railroad. i travel more on amtrak. if i were a conductor, i would be number one on seniority. it was far from just a friendly chat. the two men hailing working together on security, on travel, on climate. but on trade, the us isn't ready to speed towards a deal with the uk. and the us president was clear on his concerns about northern ireland. on the deal with the uk, that continues to be discussed. but on the protocols, i feel very strongly about this. i feel very strongly about those. and i would not at all like to see, nor, i might add, would many of my republican colleagues like to see, a change in the irish courts and the end result having a closed border again. for number 10, though, the white house visit was th

mrjohnson says he hasn't had much of a chance to get to know the us president, but he says they haveip and see eye to eye on all sorts of things. he'll be hoping the reception is as warm when they meet in the oval office in the white house later. what would have been one of borisjohnson�*s key requests has already been fulfilled. in a surprise move yesterday, the us lifted its travel ban on uk citizens. but other issues could be more difficult. borisjohnson is expected to push the us to increase its climate commitments ahead of november's crucial climate change summit cop26, which will take place in glasgow. it's the moment when we have to grow up and take our responsibilities. i think we go through, you know, a period of glorious indifference about the world. we've been through that, we've been through our childhood, if you like. we've now got to realise that this is a problem that requires grip. the two men are also expected to discuss the situation in afghanistan after the two countries withdrew troops. and what about a trade deal? borisjohnson has been pretty downbeat about the c
