million cars after the us regulator found its autopilot system was partly defective. the company says it is issuing a software fix. and — find out what we've been watching, as for the first time, netflix releases viewer data on its catalogue. time for a look at the business news now with ben. what do you have for us? matthew, thank you very much. we start with news from tesla. the carmaker is recalling more than two million cars after the us regulator found its driver assistance system, autopilot, was partly defective. the recall applies to every tesla sold in the us since the autopilot feature was launched in 2015. tesla said it would send a software update "over the air" to fix the issue. our north america business correspondent michelle fleury joins us now. michelle, explain this, there are lots of cars but the fix is relatively simple, we think. if lots of cars but the fix is relatively simple, we think. if you listen to the _ relatively simple, we think. if you listen to the regulator— relatively simple, we think. if you listen to the regulator they - relatively simple, we think. if you listen to the regulator they have i listen to the regulator they have identified a problem with tesla's autopilot software, basically saying it is easy for people to misuse. the national highway traffic safety administration is basically telling tesla to put better guardrails on its driverless kind of system, known as autopilot. so they want essentially better kind of safety protocols in place about when and where autopilot can be used. they also want to make sure that tesla enforces those rules. and as you said, this can be done fairly easily, it is a kind of software update that gets pushed through to the car, a sign of how far the technology has changed. and many people, some observers are saying, actually, at the end of a two—year investigation this was long overdue as the technology moves forward. it as the technology moves forward. it is not the first problem to befall tesla. we know of course that reluctance, that hesitation many people might have about adopting electric vehicles. this will not help those headlines. but nonetheless, that idea that you don't have to take it to your local dealership or a garage and it can be something that is fixed relatively simple, which will be very welcome, one would assume. it simple, which will be very welcome, one would assume.— simple, which will be very welcome, one would assume. if you look at the histo of one would assume. if you look at the history of driving _ one would assume. if you look at the history of driving in _ one would assume. if you look at the history of driving in america, - one would assume. if you look at the history of driving in america, we - history of driving in america, we have long had this tradition of on highways, at least, cruise control, where you wouldn't have to put your foot on the pedal the entire time that the car could take that over. as technology and as our cars become increasingly these computers on wheels, that technology has developed, so here it is about steering, in some cases auto steering, in some cases auto steering, for example, but it is meant to be used and designed to be used only in certain conditions will stop the concern of the regulator here is that drivers don't necessarily adhere to the conditions when they are most optimal to be used and so they want to see better safety things put in place, especially at a time when not only are we talking about autopilot but then this push towards driverless cars, tesla at the forefront of that technology, too. so there are concerns that more needs to be done to make this technology say. for its part, if you look at what tesla has said in the past, they have said that autopilot increases safety on the road and actually it decreases the road and actually it decreases the number of crashes we see. but here is the thing, regulators looking at crash data, it doesn't show what didn't happen, it only shows what did happen.- shows what did happen. really im ortant shows what did happen. really important distinction. - shows what did happen. really important distinction. michelle fleury, live in new york, thank you. the british economy shrank 0.3% in october. that's more than expected and it is attributed to higher interest rates and bad weather holding back growth. household spending has been squeezed by rate rises as the bank of england tries to tackle inflation. it is due to make its next rate decision on thursday. john bryson is professor of enterprise and economic geography at the university of birmingham explained why the figures were disappointing. what we are seeing is exports were up ever so slightly, if you look at where we have dampening in demand, dampening demand is in two parts of the economy. first, particular types of business professional services, especially computer coding and programming, and also things like film production, movies, is ever so slightly down. and if you look at consumer expenditure, expenditure in shops ever so slightly up. what is being hit is discretionary expenditure on things like public services, so those things like gym membership fees. so there is a very mixed balance of which most of the dampening appears to be coming from within the united kingdom. so all of that is reflecting interest rates, the issues to do with mortgage payments going up and households feeling ever so slightly insecure and having less disposable income. when you launch a start—up with an idea for a new product you really wanted to fly off the shelves. maybe it isn't so simple. when companies are starting out they can't always keep up with demand for their products and if they don't it could kill off their business in the early stages. we have been to visit a female entrepreneur who experienced exactly that. when a business starts you're never sure what demand is going to be like and four as a viral facebook post nearly blew our business. we started the brand, launched its nationwide in 2014, but everything changed in 2017 when a viral facebook post completely changed the game for us. this post in the first month were shared 35,000 times and with that came intense demand on our products. we quickly sold out of everything we had in the warehouse and we had to dial up our relationships with the whole of our supply chain. we had consciously got to know our supply chain, so that some manufacturers, our bottle suppliers, even our label suppliers. so that when this did happen we could pick up the phone and say, "help." and they responded. not only were they thrilled for our success, but they showed absolute willing and they put lines of supply on day and night and were working seven days a week for us. to our consumer it meant they could get the product quickly and efficiently and our retailers could refill their shelves quicker than they had expected. having strong relationships in place saved our business and allowed it to flourish. but it could have easily gone the other way if we hadn't made that effort to really get to know our suppliers. the that effort to really get to know our suwliers-— our suppliers. the full series of ceo secrets — our suppliers. the full series of ceo secrets is _ our suppliers. the full series of ceo secrets is available - our

released viewer data on most of its catalogue for the first time. the political thriller the night agent was the most viewed show in the first half of this year with users around the world watching for 812 million hours. the second most viewed show was season two of the comedy—drama ginny & georgia. the streaming giant has in the past been criticised for not being transparent about how content performs on its platform. those are your top business stories. you're watching bbc news. bringing you stories from across the uk. and with that, london's newest railway station, brent cross west, is on the map. it sits on the govia thameslink railway line between cricklewood and hendon. you can go from here into central london and then on to any destination and then go north, and we go into luton and luton airport, which is fantastic for travellers going out of there. he is really excited about it, and obviously then it becomes the entire family excited. i love it, it is one straight line going to home. it was overseen by barnet council and funded with £490 million and funded with £419 million of government money. although it has got brent cross in its name, visitors for the shopping centre will find that a 20—minute walk away. this is about the new town. yes, we are near the shopping centre and there will be buses directly there from the station. the hope is that brent cross west will become a visitor destination in its own right. for more stories from across the uk, head to the bbc news website. you're live with bbc news. let's return to our main story. for the first time — there's a global climate agreement — which calls on all countries to move away from using fossil fuels. delegates at the un climate summit in dubai reached the deal after negotiating through the night, to secure agreement from all 197 countries — and the eu — taking part. the president of cop28 sultan al—jabar said, it's an "historic" agreement that sets the world in the right direction. but many had wanted a strongerform of words — calling for the �*phasing out�* of coal, oil and gas. our climate editorjustin rowlatt reports from dubai. this was a historic deal in dubai. countries, of course, didn't get everything they wanted, but they did get a lot of it. and the top headline here is that transition away from fossil fuels. the first time that has ever been agreed upon at one of these cop summits. there were some other big achievements as well, tripling renewable energy, doubling energy efficiency, reducing methane. those are all key steps to keeping the world on track forjust 1.5 degrees celsius warming. developing nations were not quite as happy with this text. they say if the world wants them to start transitioning away from fossil fuels, they'll need more support. they'll need more money, they'll need more help in terms of trying to get back on that green track, they say, look, transitioning away from fossil fuels, that will hurt our economy. in terms of the president himself, cop28 president sultan al—jaber, he came into this conference with plenty of pressure, plenty of controversy. but you could tell by his speech at the end of this summit that he was happy with what he was able to deliver. he said he wanted an ambitious text. he wanted to bring together oil nations, even oil companies, to try to get something done. and he feels like he's delivered. of course, none of this will matter unless all of these parts of this text are actually implemented. and that will be the next challenge. i spoke to helen clarkson, ceo of the climate group, an international non—profit organisation with a mission to drive climate action — and asked if she thinks the deal goes far enough. i think someone like me is always going to be somewhat disappointed in the outcome of cop. we've got the science telling us really clearly we need to go much further, we need to go faster, that we need to get out of fossil fuels and we need a plan to do that. and so it's disappointing negotiated programme processes take you away from that. but, you know, worth acknowledging this language around transitioning that's in there. there are other positives around the pledges to treble renewable energy by 2030 to double energy efficiency by 2030. we've seen a lot more inclusion of subnational governments and others, so there's a lot in there that was good. but it's disappointing to see how the strong influence of the fossil fuel nations and the fossil fuel companies who are their great force at cop have influenced this outcome and are probably stopping us taking that really progressive step that we need to take on that final point, even the language, does that allow saudi arabia and others much more flexibility than you would want? yeah, i think that is the problem. we often see that with the cop text, you get this gap between what's there on paper and then what we're going to see in real life. and i think there's always this problem around understanding the role of, you know, they talk about, the big debate's always seem to abated unabated and, you know, carbon capture and storage isn't where we need it to be. so the idea that we can abate our way out of this problem is is not really right in the time frame that we have. so we need to really scale up the use of renewable energy scale right back on fossil fuels and seeing the reluctance of saudi arabia to sign up to that in the way that they've been moving in the last few days. you can see that they haven't really accepted that part of the transition and that's the loopholes that you hear referred to there by the global south representatives. i'll come back to one of those points in a moment, but let me ask you about that commitment to triple renewables and energy efficiency by 2030. how difficult or otherwise is that actually to deliver? well, on one hand, it's not very you know, renewables are already incredibly cheap. solar is the cheapest form of energy ever, according to the iea. so it should be very easy to get them out there. the real problem comes with regulations which haven't quite caught up to the scale of renewables. so climate group put out a report last week where we looked at eight of the g20 countries and looked at the policy barriers that you need to remove in order to get that scale up. so it's incredibly feasible. but if you look at the moment, at the time it takes to, for example, put a wind farm up, a lot of the time is not taken in building a wind farm. it's about permitting agreements, it's about siting. so if we can overcome some of those barriers and start to catch the regulation up to where the innovation is, we can definitely get a really big boost by 2030. so a lot of work to do, but it's quite technical. it's not about having to invent new things and it's already, already very cheap. the president of cop20 was making the observation that in his view, it is unfortunate that the deal included a big role for what he calls dangerous distractions. and he, like you, talked about the large scale use of carbon capture or the burning of transitional fuels. do you share his worry about that, that that is broadly a distraction because so much of this is untried, untested? yeah, absolutely. that is the big worry. so there's a lot of kind of thinking that we're going to somehow get some magic here and speed up an innovation on carbon capture, for example, that we haven't seen in the last few years. we've seen steady progress, but you just can't get it to scale in that time. and i think transitional fuels are such a red herring. you know, there's been so much push. and it comes from the gas lobby saying, well, gas is the solution and we'll transition out of it later. and it's just putting things off when renewables are ready in there to go and they're so much cheaper. so removing fossil fuel subsidies is the really big step that we need to take. there's already more money spent on fossilfuel subsidies than there is on adaptation and the money that goes to the global south to deal with the problem. that's completely wrong. it's out of balance. we've really got to shift that. if we can change these monetary flows, we can have really good progress on renewables, and that will also put fossil fuels further into decline faster. helen clarkson talking to me earlier. a major security breach has taken place in the lower house of india's parliament. have a look. the footage shows a man wearing a black jacket the footage shows a man wearing a blackjacketjumping from the black jacket

streaming service in the world. it's been criticised in the past for not being transparent about how content �*performs' on its platform. azadeh moshiri has more — on what we are all watching. netflix has finally released all of its viewing stats and that is after a long push by content creators as well as actors. but before we get into that, let's take a look at what we have all been watching. on its website, netflix has published its report, and it shows that they have monitored 18,000 titles between january and june of this year. that is nearly all of its catalogue. and in that six—month period, it showed that they included around 100 billion hours of viewing time. that is a lot of streaming time. now, the top show ended up being the night agent, it raked in 812 million hours of viewing time. it is a political thriller. the top film was the mother, featuring jennifer lopez, and that took in 249 million hours of viewing time. on our website, you will see that we have a list of some other popular shows, those included ginny & georgia, series two, glory, wednesday, and queen charlotte which you can see right there. why release all of this data now? that is because netflix has released a new subscription service and it includes adverts. advertisers, though, want to see viewing data. because they are obviously putting money into this, so they want to know which shows are truly popular. but actors and content creators are going to be looking at this data very closely themselves, because they have long been pushing for higher royalties for shows and films that are performing particularly well on the platform. the co—ceo ted sarandos has acknowledged that that lack of transparency about its data has led to distrust in the creative community. but he says that it is because netflix has needed to guard all of that data from competitors as it has been growing out its business. either way, they have said that they are going to be releasing this data every six months now. so more people have access to it. and if you want to find out more about what else was popular on the platform, then do check our website. azadeh moshiri looking at that fascinating data here on bbc news. staying with netflix. one of its biggest success, sci—fi horror show stranger things. set in the �*80s, it follows the supernatural events which take place in the small us town of hawkins, indiana. now it's been turned into a stage show, a prequel to the tv drama packed with stunts and light effects. our correspondent charlotte gallagher has been to meet the cast. stranger things theme from hawkins, indiana, to london's west end, the stranger things phenomenon continues. a new play, which explores the origins of one of the programme's super villains, opens this week. i didn't fit in with the other children. something was wrong with me... the story revolves around henry creel — a strange child who becomes a monster. most people fear spiders... playing henry creel is really fun. what we've been exploring as a young person, young henry creel, is in the tv show, it's like he's this psychotic killer and that's sometimes how he's told as the story, or shown to the audience, but there's this deeper side to him that we're exploring, that maybe it wasn't as plain as it seems. like, there's other factors, there's people around him. and henry's too smart for his own good and thinks too much. and just what's the recursions of that and how does that affect him in the world? and you're a new character, aren't you? stranger things fans won't have seen you before. you'll be introduced in this. it's really exciting, yeah. i don't know how much i can say about her. i don't want to give too much away. but she is henry's love interest. and she... i would describe her as on a journey of self—discovery, a bit nerdy, a bit sassy, but, again, struggling with her own internal demons. the play is shrouded in secrecy, but the show is one of netflix's biggest hits. so, what's it likejoining the stranger things universe? it was just like confetti in my brain. it was just insane, man. getting the call is... it's one of the best things that's happened this year. it's just... it's mind blowing. yeah, it is mind blowing. it's crazy _ see behind us, as well. it's like, "it's crazy." it's so surreal. this crazy production. welcome to hawkins, indiana. this is the diner where some of the key scenes will take place. if you watch the series, you'll know it's full of 1980s nostalgia. this show is going to take you back to the 1950s. that almost 25—year difference means some of the familiar characters, like dr brenner, originally played by matthew modine, are looking a bit younger. i obviously didn't want to do a sort of act of mimicry. - i don't think that that would have been really helpful for anyone, . if i was spending all my time i trying to emulate what he did. but i do think there _ are certain elements that he... where you just sort of think, "well, it would be stupid - to just throw this out for the sake of throwing it out." _ he's created something so great. there are things, of course, that, you know, an actor- you want to steal from him. and so i've stolen things- from him and it's sort of like i'm wearing his watch or i'mi wearing his shoes and i hope i act sort of in this play, i act in conversation with what he's done already, i think. _ taking stranger things from screen to stage has been a long process, but rehearsals are over and it's ready for its opening night. there are so many of the illusions that, like, even though i've seen it 100 times, i wrote it and then i rewrote it and i rewrote it, and then i saw it in tech over and over again, it still surprises me every time. it's like...like magic. it's like getting to see a magic show every day. so, there's a tv programme and now a play. what next for stranger things? it's a world that people don't want to leave alone. and doing this project was... i've been on the show for so many years, but i felt like i could keep going. like, i felt like there are so many stories to tell in this universe that's, like, my favourite genre, this, like, grounded sci—fi. so, i don't know. i mean, i do know, but i can't tell you! fans willjust have to wait and see. charlotte gallagher, bbc news. we will take a short break and when we come back we will have the latest from cop28 and the latest from the middle east. that's after the weather with darren bett. given all the rain we have had it will be turning drier. rain do make the next weather system is coming in from the atlantic. in between the two, we had some sunshine earlier, particularly northern ireland and in scotland. but where we have a clear skies in the first part of the night there is a risk temperatures could falljust below freezing in places. the window of clearer skies will close as the night goes on because all that cloud will come in from the atlantic that is going to bring some rain and briefly some snow over the scottish mountains, perhaps the northern pennines which should turn back to rain later on in the night as temperatures start to rise. these are the numbers first thing thursday morning. by this time the rain would have cleared from northern ireland and just about the whole of scotland but we will see further patchy, mostly light rain and drizzle affecting england and wales and that cloudy, damp weather could continue across the south—east well into the afternoon. otherwise we will get some sunshine following on behind them a few showers for northern ireland and scotland, mostly in the north of scotland where it is still quite blustery. temperatures are going to be a degree or two higher than we ought to be had today. as one weather system moves away we look to see another one coming in from the atlantic as we move into friday. this will be focused more to the north—west of the uk. we will see more cloud coming into northern ireland and also in scotland showers in the north of the country being replaced by some rain and drizzle. elsewhere it should be dry and a lot more sunshine more widely across england and wales where the winds will be lighter. still seven or 8 degrees across eastern parts of england, further west it much milder. the mild atlantic air on some brisk winds will rush in across the whole country in time for the start of the weekend. we have colder air to the north of the weather front which may move southwards on sunday to bring some patchy rain. but on saturday to stain to the north, just bringing the chance of some rain in the north of scotland. again, it looks like it will be windy here and across northern ireland. the wind is lighter further south but it will not be as sunny in england and wales. there is a mild air and temperatures will be widely 12 or 13 celsius. live from london. this is bbc news. it is so decided. an historic deal is agreed at the cop28 climate summit calling on all countries to move away from using fossil fuels. political leaders and climate campaigners broadly welcome the agreement, but express reservations about it limiting temperature rises, to 1.5 degrees celsius. we have come to the conclusion that the course correction that is needed has not been secured. we have made an incremental advancement of the business as usual. israel says it carried out more than 250 strikes on gaza in the last 24 hours as the main un refugee agency says it's on the verge of collapse. also on the programme... on verified today, after the prime minister won a crucial vote on his rwanda plan, we've looked at whether he'll meet another pledge to eliminate the asylum backlog. and find out what we've been watching. for the first time, netflix releases its viewer data. hello, i'm
