Carbon free to the uns summit on Climate Change. I feel a ifeel a bit i feel a bit seasick and its ifeel a bit seasick and its not going to be comfortable, but that i can live with. Welcome to bbc news. Police in malaysia say theyve found the body of 15 year old nora quoirin who went missing nine days ago. The teenager was on holiday with her family when she disappeared from the resort. Noras body was found just over a mile from where she was staying, and it has been identified by herfamily. Our South East Asia correspondent Howard Johnson sent this update from the nearby town of seremban. My my apologies, we were hoping to hear the report there, but these are scenes from the island at the time the body was found. We will have his full report a little later in the next 15 minutes, my apologies for that. Thereve been more violent clashes at hong kong airport as police were involved in chaotic battles with pro democracy protesters who had occupied the terminal building. As thousands of demonstrators took over the departure area, scuffles broke out at one point a Police Officer was cornered and beaten to the ground, and a gun was pointed at the crowds though not fired. Departure check ins and flights had to be cancelled for a second day because of the trouble. China has described the Anti Government protests as terrorism and said it would intervene if they dont stop soon. Jonathan head sent this report which includes pictures viewers and in the latest, dominic rob says the uk condemns the violence. Jonathan head sent this report which includes pictures viewers may find disturbing. Last week they were just protesting here. Now they control it. Thousands of young demonstrators flooding the terminal, forcing the cancellation of flights, and bringing a second day of misery to airline passengers. They wandered among the marooned travellers, trying to explain why they are doing this. But with so much disruption, the strain is starting to show. They say they go here because this is their last resort, because the police cannot touch them here. But how about us . How about us. We are hostages here, we want to go. It is our honeymoon, so it has been a little bit of a rubbish ending. The activists are also on edge, knowing that china has vowed to punish them, that riot police are just outside the terminal. Fear of infiltrators is everywhere. Suspected undercover officers were mobbed and sometimes beaten. An attempt by a Police Delegation to get them out turned into a furious confrontation. At one point, a hard pressed Police Officer pulled out his gun. As you can see, they are building barricades at the moment, in the entrance to the terminal. We have seen riot police outside, trying to stop them coming in. Have a look down there, still passengers arriving at the airport, how are the police going to storm this building . There were cheers as they disable the Airport Security cameras. After this, what next . This protest movement has proved nimble and inventive, true capable of bringing one of asias biggest transport hubs to a standstill. The Hong Kong Government has ignored their demands, at some point, surely, it will try to drive them out. Well and some pictures are coming up that you may find disturbing during the clashes, the protesters discovered a man who they claimed was an undercover Police Officer. They tied him to a luggage trolley where he sat surrounded by both media and protesters. He was later released and taken to hospital by medics who managed to enter the building. Illustration of the tensions developing because of this trust because they believed they had been infiltrated by undercover opposites and are concerned of course because we saw what three weeks ago now, and that Railway Station on sunday night with protesters returning home where they were set upon by men in white shirt today believe where being encouraged or tipped off by authorities and who they suspiciously think they were involved in criminal gangs. So, there is a degree of distrust, which is being increased by pensions as the police have used a fairly strong tactics, robust you could call them politely to push back against the demonstrators. Earlier, i asked anne mcelvoy whos Senior Editor at the economist how this escalation of the trouble could play out in relation to reaction from beijing. Well, i think its clear this idea of just waiting it well, i think its clear this idea ofjust waiting it out doesnt look like its going to get the result of what they want, which is worked before, but one of the difficulties that china has, they miss a because clearly they thought what would spark it was the change to the law, allowing hong kong citizens to be extradited, not were just suspects and criminal trial trial. It does not work from that point he did because it escalated and all sorts of dissatisfaction has come to the claim, including the Umbrella Movement because lots of people thought kids a few years ago, that that would go away. It seems to have come back. And i think that was something perhaps when i was there last two years, its come back to life particularly with the legal system under threat. So if us and china doesnt want to give ground and say, we will completely withdraw this, they say we pull the bill for now but theres no guarantee Going Forward , now but theres no guarantee Going Forward, then this is going to continue to build. The other question is it is the airport, what happens as a little flash planes are happening here and there, we did not like happened, but what i think it is feared by protesters, its not so much the great big. Nope its not, its basically the garrison could be coming forward and there could be apcs and riots kind of carriers. And i would be very intimidating, and i think that is what we are waiting forfor a china think that is what we are waiting for for a china lifted think that is what we are waiting forfor a china lifted move that direction and. Not sand from the economist. Her claims about hat concerns about life happening. At the place she visits every year. Well we can speak now to sophie richardson, whos china director for human rights watch. She joins us from st michaels in maryland. That afternoon. Could i ask you first, what your reaction is to the latest events at hong kong airport . I think its a shocking failure of governance that we are watching play out. Primarily on beijings part refusing to remain in the confines of one country to assist in agreement. And also on hong kong part. Really failing to engage in any sort of meaningful dialogue with any sort of meaningful dialogue with any of the protesters. I think some of the scenes this afternoon and evening, protesters attacking other people its unacceptable conduct at the same time no one seems to be stepping in on the Authority Side to fill that void and engage in conversation about how these issues should be handled in hong kong. Conversation about how these issues should be handled in hong kongm terms of the approach the hong kong authorities have used, and i mean, we have had the use of tear gas, rubber bullets, thats not by any means unique in the world, happens ata means unique in the world, happens at a lot of protest situation. Youd think on balance, they had handled it reasonably can i get that bear had not been casualties, which we may have expected after 2010 leaks a lot of protest situations. Youd think on balance, they had handled it reasonably, given that there had not been casualties, which we may have expected after 2010 weeks of protest . The protests have been handled differently in hong kong versus other places of the world, but at the same time the police are equipped and trained to conduct themselves in conformity with International Standards that we had seen International Standards that we had seen too many incidents in recent weeks where not only did they not appear to be living up to the standards, but theres also no clear indication that those are going to be investigated by a credible independent authority, who could actually hold them accountable. Think that also helps feed the protesters signs that the Hong Kong Government is effectively a wall as far as their interests are concerned. We heard that former chilean president who is now in charge of human rights at the un, expressing her concerns. We had not really heard much from the Us Government tonight, literally within the last hour, the British Foreign secretary had said we condemn violence and encourage constructive dialogue. What responsibility do you think rests on the International Community to speak up on hong kong, because obviously there is a certain nervousness because its in the chinese orbit. The Chinese Government wants nothing more than for everyone spending their time having that discussion rather than responding in the ways they would to access and use of force in the us or anywhere in the well. And that particularly important for the Human Rights Commission who weighed in, because it is seen at the International Voice on human rights issues. I do think that britain owes this issue in particular kind of attention. As a signatory to the joint declination declaration. Attention. As a signatory to the joint declination declarationlj was joint declination declaration. was actually going to ask you precisely about that because back in july when the question was raised, the Foreign Ministry spokesman said now hong kong has returned to that motherland embrace, the sign of historical document no longer has any practical significance and its not at all binding for the Central Government management over hong kong. The british take a different view, as a legally binding document, how should britain respond to that is not you say theres a special responsibility and china thanks its historic and gone. I think are britain, the particular challenges it did not occur to anybody at the time to write and to that agreement so time to write and to that agreement so that if things went wrong and britain had a clear avenue to protest. But i think this comment from the foreign minister are particularly remarkable. And they ought to frankly make every government who has any kind of agreement are legally binding with the Chinese Government wonder whether thatll be beijing attitude when the other partner because beijing out forfailing when the other partner because beijing out for failing to uphold its obligations. Thats effectively what they saying. Sophie richardson, thank you very much for with us. And well find out how this story and many others are covered in tomorrows front pages at 10 40 and 11 30 this evening in the papers our guests joining me tonight are the defence correspondent for the times lucy fisher and the Political Editor of the new statesman stephen bush. Lets return to our top stories news from malaysia where police say they found the body year old nora who went missing nine days ago is our report. A Malaysian Police helicopter hovers over the area of dense jungle where the unclothed body of nora quoirin was discovered. Then, this. Winched up in a cage supported by a Police Officer. The teenager went missing from the dusun eco resort in Western Malaysia ten days ago. The family had planned a two week holiday, but the morning after they arrived, noras father, sebastien, discovered her bed empty and a downstairs window open. The family have always insisted, given noras learning difficulties, it is very unlikely she would have walked off alone. Nora todays search and rescue effort started with more than 300 personnel scouring a 2. 5 mile radius around the result. By mid afternoon, the police were alerted to a macabre discovery. In the last half an hour we have seen a flurry of activity here with policeman coming and going, we got some Police Chiefs here, the lights on on the forensics are here. What we have found out is that there is a gentleman inside who is being questioned. He was the one who went up to the Police Checkpoint earlier on today and said that he had found the body. Translation we have found the body, a womans body with white skin. Right now we cant confirm her identity. We have contacted the forensic and Pathology Team to investigate and determine who it is. Tonight the family of nora quoirin confirmed that the body is that of the missing teenager. It came just a day after her parents announced a reward for information about her. She has been vulnerable since the day she was born. She is so precious to us. And our hearts are breaking. What started as a dream holiday for nora and herfamily has ended up being every parents worst nightmare. Howard johnston, bbc news, malaysia. 0n the line now we have matthew, from the Lucie Blackman trust which is been advising the family since she went missing nine days ago, thank you for talking to us this evening, this must be crushing news for the family. Its the worst news for the family. Its the worst news for the family. Its the worst news for them, they have been living that this would not be the outcome but obviously does hubbs have been dashed. In terms of what we now add the investigation, the second place, but that search has been extensive and intensive in the last two days. I think anyone could say letting the malaysian authorities and the british and irish because obviously the nationality in some cases has been very strong and support. But the family had set from the start they thought their daughter was most likely to have been taken by someone because they didnt think she went out on her own. Police didnt initially seem convinced by that explanation. Well, its quite confusing really, the way police operate is difficult to what we see here and what we are used to. In fa ct here and what we are used to. In fact the local Police Investigation is what theyre looking for, theyre looking for missing and they were out there looking for her and the search and rescue efforts essential to that. However, in malaysia, they had the national cid, and on a National Level, they were looking into whether there was any criminal activity. Right from the early days of the investigation. So they are looking at things like abduction and kidnapping and reeling out as much as they can from National Level as approach as opposed to the local level. The death as difficult as you say, operating in different ways of supporting families. If a terrible situation got into get leading to her murder and Lucy Blackman and the families that the trust. What sort of advice offer families in terms of dealing with local authorities, because its a very fine line between immediately assuming the worst and trying to get help and recognising that if you go and happy, you can probably kind of basically get too confrontational that can be counterproductive in terms of getting the help you need. Absolutely, its a very fine line. And most important thing we do is to research and liaise with overseas authorities as well as our own authorities. And that the family know exactly what they are dealing with. In this case, i spoke to family several times every day and at night but the time difference. Explaining exactly what was going on to try and let them understand what they were facing. So that when they said what they said when asked what they asked, i did not come across as offensive. Because obviously the last thing we wanted to do was upset the police as well because what they we re the police as well because what they were doing what they do. Its been difficult in this case, the high profile and is a huge amount of speculation on social media the people saying it must be this and then i doing that is deftly best. Things like this are not helpful because they are trying to explain toafamily because they are trying to explain to a family exactly what they are dealing with. And of course they are faced with people telling them something different. Your support doesnt and after somebody is safely returned or sadly this case a body is found. Presumably right now the family need even more support because they are not only coming to terms with that but they know this kind of nightmare and i was going to stretch on. Thats correct we spoke with them briefly before and after the identification was completed, the identification was completed, the next stage is now looking into getting trauma therapy and bereavement counselling. They also we asked the authorities to work out whats happening around with the situation and we can arrange all of that to make sure what the wishes are realised as best as possible, but the support in a case like this goes on for many years. There are several cases now that we have been supporting for several years since i had they learned to cope with the new debt they are thrust into, horrible one. Given her body was found unclothed, today and i believe she was abducted . I have not spoken directly about what they think about that gap at the moment, the time was not right for that. It was to providejust immediate not right for that. It was to provide just immediate support and tell them whats going to happen next. But just to tell them whats going to happen next. Butjust to clarify, one of the things about the way she was found in some reports is that she was naked are wearing very little. She wasnt wearing clothing when she come out there was no clothing missing as we understand it and that family told us she was only wearing underwear at night anyway. So, again, the speculation people make. Thats an important clarification, im glad you made that point because that probably has been lost in the reporting between what was set at the scene and what is being reported around and social media so thank you for making that point that when she was in bed, she had already been wearing underwear anyway so that to be entirely innocent expiration but nonetheless terrible sadness for her family. Thank you very much for speaking to us about this case. We will wait for more details after the postmortem on wednesday. The headlines on bbc news. The family of nora, for tenure go missing in malaysia had identified the body found in the jungle as hers. Police could clash with pro democracy demonstrators. Sport and for a full round up, from the bbc sport centre. Evening to you. We are going to shut start with southlake who are looking to the closer to the good stages of the champions late tonight.

She appreciated that womens World Cup Final the summer, and well had the same e mail assistance. final the summer, and well had the same email assistance.

Chelsea manager Frank Lampard has given his reaction calling it an historic moment for this part. In terms of how much respect the game is getting and how many people are watching it, the interest in the game, i think we we re very the interest in the game, i think we were very slow everywhere on this and now we are trying to make strides and if still a long way to go but in terms of tomorrow i think ofa go but in terms of tomorrow i think of a huge moment and should be well addressed and we are so pleased its addressed and we are so pleased its a historical moment and its one more step in the right direction. Joe root says hes expecting a big response from the england team in the second ashes test starting tomorrow at lloyds, a separate big pete against australia and it will be changes with archer making his test debut if he missed out with a side strain, but withjimmy anderson out, their options are limited. And his rot paste the site and start the world cup could be what they are missing and the captain also is impressed with his attitude. He is certainly very confident which is great to see in a young guy. He should be off the brilliant work will come up and coming into dealing with like being a part of that squad at the last minute now the pressure that held. He doesnt seem to want to shy away from that. If anything, i think itll motivate him. When he gets his chance, hell be desperate to prove to everyone how good he says he is. Meanwhile, ollie was dropped after at the squad and says he will take us short break and they say theyre happy to have them back in his county site. Thats all your support for now, more coming up later. This time yesterday were talking aboutjob problems. The bbc has seen how criminal gangs are targeting children in care some as young as 12 and using them to work as drug dealers. Vulnerable children are specifically targetted and then sent to work in towns and cities many miles from home the phenomenon known as county lines. The police say they are struggling to deal with the scale of the problem. Our special correspondent ed thomas reports. In care, missing from home. At the moment, in st helens, children wise, we have got three missings. Found in north wales. County lines is all over. Its cross border. They have to be controlled. Children exploited to sell crack and heroin. The most vulnerable in our society is the kids. Can you protect them . Right now, i cant protect those kids because i dont know where they are. This is becoming a daily thing now. It keeps being the kids that have got links to north wales. In st helens, searching for missing children. By the time it gets to the sixth or seventh address, you start to feel sick. Youre just thinking that these kids are not here, they are not anywhere they should be. Its becoming a daily routine. Give you some information on the county lines. With searches from day to night. Right, we are going to another address of a missing child, but this is the care home, this is their home address. And in those childrens homes, police are hearing the same story. The most vulnerable kids being found in north wales. Obviously, we have got massive concern about this north wales link. This is what its worrying about now . Yes, of course it is. We have changed the carers voice to protect the childs identity. He came back, i asked him how he got fit. He said working. I actually said, what, selling cannabis . Because we know hes a smoker. Whats your big worry . I worry that hes getting into drugs. And being exploited . Yes. Hes a good kid, really. Youve got to understand that these children have been ripped apart by family issues, drugs mainly and stuff like that, off their parents. Its not their fault. Today, i have been on duty for three hours. And all ive done is missing persons checks. This is the reality for some care children. Arrested in north wales, this teenager has more than 20 grams of heroin and crack hidden inside his body, worth around £3000. Six months later, were back in st helens, putside his supported accommodation. Your doors broken. Come on, guys. Why is the door smashed . Officers are searching for a different child a 15 year old missing from care, at the risk of county lines. Ijust need to check that youre all right. I do know where the door is, all right. Police say younger missing care children repeatedly end up here. All vulnerable to exploitation. The missing child who we think is coming and going from wales. Yeah. How old is he . Hes 15. The lad were looking for is 15. It really is getting to know our kids from the care homes, getting to know our kids on the street, and to look out for these danger signs, really. Gangs are targeting a network of childrens homes to send 50 miles away to sell heroin and crack. I think 14 was the youngest im personally aware of that was found drug dealing in north wales. Then a couple of weeks later, we had a 15 year old arrested. It was only when it was looked at why were these two kids from merseyside, both from care homes, in north wales drug dealing that we identified that those children are in fact being used, and county lines is a bigger problem. Police showed us this footage. In the middle of this. A child in care. Although this arrest isnt for a county lines offence. Officers say he has already been in north wales. A young child. In crisis. The kids that do get exploited, a lot of them go through an ordeal thats extreme. These kids are traumatised by it. The care home and the people we have spoke to have said hes lovely. The last few weeks, he is out of control. What is your fear why he is doing this . My fear is that he is becoming exploited. He has gone from being a nice loving child to someone who is dead aggressive now. And thats county lines. This goes far beyond st helens. Across the uk, is believed 10,000 children are involved in county lines drug dealing. Its chaos. If it goes any more than it is now, we are barely dealing with it now. I think if it gets bigger and more violent, then there isjust not enough of us. We dont know exactly how many care children are being exploited in st helens, but we do know that no one has been prosecuted for trafficking kids in the town. Inafew in a few moments we discussed what they are hands free mobile phone should be banned in the cars, because mps are recommending that but stay with us and then tell them heres your letter.

Afamily of a family of the 15 year old who went missing in malaysia has been identified. Violence in Hong Kong International airport is class of pro democracy protesters and delayed flights for the second day. Please on the front lines children being recruited to deal with drugs. Drivers using hands free mobile phones should be considered according to the transport select committee of thousand comments. And coming up later this afternoon, teenage activists plan to travel carbon free. A group of mps has suggested that drivers should be banned from using hands free mobile phones. They said that current laws give the misleading impression that hands free options are safe. Its been illegal to use a hand held phone at the wheel since 2003. But the Commons Transport Committee says using a hands free device creates the same risks of collision. 0ur transport correspondent, tom burridge, has more talking on the move, hands is from many second nature. Go i use my phone all the time on hands free. Because talking to the family. Letting them know whats for dinner tonight. It is convenience, to be able to talk on the phone, if youre ona able to talk on the phone, if youre on a long journey. A group of mps said they should consider banning all phone use at the wheel, including hands free. all phone use at the wheel, including handsfree. I have lost a brother, wife has lost her husband, every Single Family event you have is not an event any more. Lee martin was killed by a driver, his brother agrees that hands free phoning should be legal too. If agrees that hands free phoning should be legaltoo. If there agrees that hands free phoning should be legal too. If there was a com plete should be legal too. If there was a complete and utter ban, which is make it, it is a simple solution, to stop using your phones. When we have a conversation, we visualise what were talking about, if im talking to my wife about the kids, even on hands free or about the dog, i potentially thinking too much about them and missing hazards on the road. Experts who write road safety policy say that a phone call is very different than chatting to someone in the passenger seat. They are in the course so there see what is happening around the vehicle they see. Somebody on the phone, if you stop talking to them, they will start to interrupt you and ask if youre still there and if youre 0k and that can be a real problem. The signal, it is much easier talking face to face, the signal is really good between us, i can hear your voice and you can hear mine and on the phone, that is not as clear and it is very difficult to understand someone is really saying. Catching someone is really saying. Catching someone using hands free, if it were a band would be even harder. Lets discuss this further with me now is iam roadsmarts head of driver behaviour rebecca ashton. Also im joined by nicholas lyes. Racs head of roads policy. Welcome. Thank you for being with us and let me ask first of all, what do you make of this report . The mps are quite specific and they think it is created by using hand held phone competence that surprised you . Does the cognitive processing that goes on to your rain that causes the problem rather than holding the phonein problem rather than holding the phone in your hand, so it has not surprise me. I welcome it, however i think we really need to think seriously about enforcement. We are not enforcing where we are at the moment with the ban on hand held, so we have to get to grips with that and then look at how we are going to enforce hands free . And then look at how we are going to enforce handsfree . We gave evidence of this report and we welcome a lot of this report and we welcome a lot of the findings in this report and i definitely agree with rebecca when i say we need to focus on the enforcement, which is the key issue here. Certainly from our research, they found that drivers last year we re they found that drivers last year were using a hand held mobile phone to make or receive calls and at that point, we have an issue that is already illegal as it stands and we would like to see if we are going to look at this report, with the recommendations that have come out and what the enforcement wants to be and what the enforcement wants to be a priority for us. At £200 fine, doubling both aspects of it and does not seem to have had an effect on reducing the instances of people breaking the law. That is absolutely right and what we found backin absolutely right and what we found back in 2017 was our research showed that there was an initial drop off and the numberof that there was an initial drop off and the number of people that were admitting to using hand held mobile phones while driving and unfortunately, that tended to revert to bad habits once we got to last Years Research which showed that they went back up to the previous change in penalties of esau and 2017 so change in penalties of esau and 2017 so people tend to have short memories, we saw in 2017. The use of the hand held mobile phone should be socially unacceptable as drink driving. Be socially unacceptable as drinkdriving. Do you think that is where we need to get to, rebecca was . Definitely. If we can get to the stage where it is looked upon as badly as drink driving, that i think it is going to be a real victory for safety. Let us leave aside the people who kind of are travelling co nsta ntly people who kind of are travelling constantly in their cars or other vehicles and often have to have a lot of phone conversations in the course of those journeys, people have used radios in their cars and their design seeking change the stations and volumes in the vehicle. All of these things are distracting, why do we pick out this one thing . The reason why weve got to start somewhere in the hand held phone or the hands free phone is about the same as the distraction level. The distractions that we can deal with, the ones that are easy for road safety in fact one so we can stop using our phone, you cannot deal with certain distractions like children in the back of the car that are getting upset, those are things that we have to be able to cope with but not using the phone is something that we concern the step on insta ntly a nd that we concern the step on instantly and make sure that we get a winfor instantly and make sure that we get a win for road safety on this. There we re a win for road safety on this. There were 773 casualties according to official figures were 773 casualties according to officialfigures on were 773 casualties according to official figures on writtens road, those were in crashes where a mobile phone was a contributory factor in yet you do not think we should be banning hands free, why not . Yet you do not think we should be banning handsfree, why not . We should be looking at this. But you would not ban it . The issue of hand held, which is still something that we have to try and rectify first, we think that is a priority at the moment. But wouldnt it be a simpler message to just say, do not use a phone in a car period . That would be an easier message to enforce, wouldnt it . Will like to see that but there is a priority here that but we have to look at, what we have done our research, drivers tend to be more distracted by what is going on in there, vehicles, there is an element of not having full control there. But even passengers in the vehicle, i appreciate that they can see a lot more when it comes to what is going on on the road ahead and passengers that are not exactly paying full attention to themselves whats going on the road. I think that the look at this from the basis of all distractions and if they do continue to do hands free, the first thing they should do when they speak to somebody on the phone at the end of the line is to make them aware that there driving and that the cause extremely short and say to that person, once they have found somewhere safe to park and they can engage ina somewhere safe to park and they can engage in a conversation where they can engage in a conversation where they ca n fully engage in a conversation where they can fully concentrate. Do you think he is being too optimistic . In some ways that we do need to deal with enforcement, if theres no point of bringing in the life we can enforce it, i think technology is going to be something that will help us with this and will be the fact that the technology will stop us using the technology, but that is something thatis technology, but that is something that is definitely going to come in and as faras that is definitely going to come in and as far as not using your phone, ido and as far as not using your phone, i do understand that while it is legal to use hands free, people are going to want to do it, however our m essa 9 es going to want to do it, however our messages please do not use your phone under any circumstances. The Scottish Government has paid out more than half a Million Pounds they said it would take place early next month despite fears that bringing in the case they could run out of time before the uk is due to leave the eu at the end of october. Is Political Editor. From the court of session, heres our Political Editor brian taylor. Freddie might suspend department to force through a no deal brexit. The Prime Minister says he is not attracted by what he calls an archaic procedure. But time is passing towards that eu departure deadline of october 31 and mr johnsons opponents want more certainty. For those parliamentary opponents, it was vital to settle this dispute quickly because otherwise, the case would simply failfor otherwise, the case would simply fail for lack otherwise, the case would simply failfor lack of time. Otherwise, the case would simply fail for lack of time. On behalf of the government would be wrong to short cut a Court Proceeding that was vital he said for both sides of the case to be heard fully, although he has accepted also that there was a need for the debate in the discussion in the examination to be expedited. Sitting injudgement saying that he would set a full hearing date of the 6th of september. The legalteam hearing date of the 6th of september. The legal team said they are ready. It is an extraordinary time youre looking at what we are having to bring a petition of this nature to the court in relation to parliament, which is something that has been talked about for such a long time stop by but you are optimistic that you cannot proceed with this case, given the timetable you have been given . It could send a message the Prime Minister. Singh to the Prime Minister but you cannot just take these decisions and just lie your way to parliament because the consequences for my constituency up the consequences for my constituency up and down the country, will be disastrous. But brexiteers say remainders need to face the fact that they lost and get ready for leaving the eu. I think they have to look at themselves hard in the mirror because people in a referendum decided to leave and they can either respect democratic results or try to overturn them in the courts. But Court Proceedings will be on the nature of brexit, however this may yet end up in the court of Public Opinion with the general election. That was brian taylor there, Political Editor in scotland.

The teenage Climate Change campaigner grey ta toon berg is preparing to sail across the atlantic to attend a summit at the United Nations in new york. The 16 year old activist is travelling on a 60 foot yacht, fitted with solar panels and underwater turbines that produce electricity onboard with the aim of making the journey zero carbon. 0ur chief environment correspondent Justin Rowlatt has been speaking to her in plymouth. How do you get to new york without any Carbon Dioxide emissions . This is how. But Greta Thunberg isnt anxious. I might feel a bit seasick, it will not be comfortable, but i can live with it. The yacht might be fast but shes not comfortable. Once the skipper. Warns the skipper. There is no fridge, no kitchen, no heating and no privacy. You have an intimate corner, you can hide here and use a bucket. But there are also no Carbon Emissions. The entire journey will be under sail and all of the electricity will be generated by solar panels and turbines. One person giving up flying doesnt make any difference in a world of 8 billion people, so what is the point . I mean, the point, ithink, is to sort of create an opinion, if i stop flying, you dont only reduce your own Carbon Footprint but also, that sends a signal to other people around you, that, i mean, the Climate Crisis is a real thing, and that also pushes a political movement. But it has been a year since a 16 year old began her climate strikes and Carbon Emissions have continued to rise. She plans to encourage World Leaders to take more urgent action in new york. So this is the bank where greta will be sleeping, with a little curtain, should she wanted, and when the boat is tipping over, you can pull this off and kind of wedge yourself, and you are actually squeezed in against the hull, so youre not going to fall out and actually, ill be honest, it is quite cosy. And despite the privations, she is looking forward to the trip. I think it will feel good, in a way, to be just alone with those on the boat and, like, the ocean. I think it will do good. The voyage will take two weeks. Gretas team say they havent yet planned how shes going to get back from america. Lift amazed by an extra special delivery from amazon. It was brought to the mac thrown through an u psta i rs to the mac thrown through an upstairs window. Speaking to her, tell us what on earth was this parcel and how did it end up going to the top floor window . When i came back and, there was a delivery note on my doorstep saying that they delivered as i requested, to an alternative location, through the window. And i had not thought i had left the window open and i do my downstairs windows are open to nothing at all, one upstairs but is open. When i went upstairs, there it was on the bedroom floor, my package. You mustve been a bit concerned because of what was in the package. Likely, it was packaged quite well, a lot of bubble wrap in it and yes. What did you order . Six light bulbs. The package was a reasonable size in comparison with the windows, saws and press the manage to get the shot through. Bit ofan manage to get the shot through. Bit of an athlete in some ways. There was no ladder sitting outside that will give you a simpler explanation. No, nothing like that it all. So mustvejust explanation. No, nothing like that it all. So mustve just done explanation. No, nothing like that it all. So mustvejust done it explanation. No, nothing like that it all.
