The Energy Security and zero minister has defended the governments target and tackling Climate Change. The Energy Security and net zero secretary, Claire Coutinho, has defended the governments record on tackling Climate Change. She was responding to comments by the outgoing head of the governments Climate Change advisers, chris stark, who said rishi sunak had set back progress towards net zero Carbon Emissions by delaying future changes. Ms courtinho told Laura Kuenssberg on sunday on bbc2 that ministers had to strike the right balance. With me is our political correspondent, damian grammaticas. So this was her first big interview on the bbc, wasnt it . So this was her first big interview on the bbc, wasnt it . Yes, on the sunday talk on the bbc, wasnt it . Yes, on the sunday talk shows.

He has been in this job for six years and he is the Chief Adviser to the government on Climate Change policy. He has a background in this, so he is a serious figure. It was his committees original advice that led the government, it was theresa may, to set in law, 2050 is the date for the uk to be net zero emissions. And what chris stark was critical of was rishi sunak has been pushing back the interim steps, switching to petrol and diesel cars and gas boilers and that sort of thing. The question for Claire Coutinho was, are you weakening your targets and are you weakening your targets and are you weakening your targets and are you not going to hit them . Itrailiere are you not going to hit them . Where we have, are you not going to hit them . Where we have. And are you not going to hit them . Where we have. And i are you not going to hit them .

Yes, both the labour party and the government in scotland. He said the government in scotland. He said the government in scotland had been unrealistic as it had tried to set even more unrealistic targets than in london. The labour party, the question he said was that labour had been rowing back some of its big plans, like 28 billion a year spent. But equally just as much, was the leader keir starmer has been quiet on this and wasnt really talking very openly. So this is what was put to the shadow Secretary Of State for justice. So she was asked about, as labour weakening its ambition . There is no doubt that this is going to be a Challenging Mission that we have set ourselves. But we are not prepared to just sit back and think we are in a doom loop here and it seems like its all pretty hopeless and we can do nothing. Government can achieve huge things here if it has the political will to do so and if it makes some money available, but also, if it takes the steps to unlock private Sector Investment and that is so necessary if we are going to have clean energy by 2030 and not be reliant on dictators abroad and get our bills down as well. The question for labour is, if they are spending less as a government and relying on private sector, are they really going to be able to hit their targets . They really going to be able to hit their taraets . , ~ ,. Their targets . Thank you very much indeed. The issue of pollution and Sewage Seeping into our rivers and seas is one that has prompted plenty of headlines in recent months. It has prompted one canoe club coach on the river thames to get in touch with the bbc to share how his sessions are regularly being disrupted by � sewage discharge. 0ur Reporter Wendy Hurrel has the story. The Hambledon Weir in berks, not farfrom henley, creates the perfect wave for practising sailing canoe skills. But the sport puts these paddlers more than on the river thames, they are literally in it, and with frequent Sewage Discharges into its waters, they are taking precautions. As experienced paddlers, there are things we can do to minimise the risk of getting ill, so we never eat or drink when we are out on the water, we make sure we wash before we do eat or drink afterwards. We are very careful not to swallow the water. The Sharks Canoe Club operates in different locations around west london. Weve had to curtail activity since the end of november, the amount of rain has been excessive, so we have not taken any of Ourjunior Paddlers Out and we have not taken any new paddlers during that time. Nowhere on the river thames is a designating bathing area, so it does not have to be monitored by the Environment Agency and that information made public but of course there are many who have a vested interest in water quality. Our approach is it is important we do try to continue to use the rivers, we are the witnesses to whats going on and i think we can be part of the solution, by raising awareness, and demonstrating that its a resource that the community really wants to be available to them. James steen of the Henley Boating Company says he has seen lots of raw sewage in the river. It affects myself and potentially my health. I have been cleaning my boats and i need to make sure i properly wash up and disinfect, but also part of what i do is for the love of the river and the wildlife and the wildlife dont get a chance to wash up afterwards, they are in it, the fish have been affected, the birdlife has been affected. A thames water spokesman said. These river users agree the problem is complex and we all play a part in protecting these Natural Resources and want to be part of the solution. The distributor of two of the uks most popular vape brands says it is well equipped to survive the ban on disposables products. Elfbar and lost mary have already launched reusable versions of their popular Disposable Vapes. The Company Behind both brands said it was addressing demand for a tool to help smokers quit. But councils have warned the government that it shouldnt let producers Exploit Loopholes in the ban. Our business reporter, esyllt carr, has more on this. That ban on Disposable Vapes was announced earlier this year and is due to come in across the uk from next april. And now were sort of getting some indication on how some of those companies behind the products are planning to respond. And elfbar and lost mary together make up nearly half the british market. And one of their main distributors in the uk is a Company Called green fun alliance. Now, their accounts show that sales almost tripled to more than £117 million up to the end ofjanuary, in the year to the end of january 2023. And that really reflects the huge surge in popularity in Disposable Vapes in recent years. But crucially, the accounts do also note that the forthcoming ban will have a detrimental effect on sales and profitability. Now, they add in these documents that theyve been preparing for this and that theyre well equipped to pivot the business to the exclusive sale of non Disposable Vapes and related products. And, in fact, they have already started selling reusable versions of some of their most popular Disposable Vapes. And the main difference seems to be that the liquid that contains the nicotine comes in a replaceable pod, and there is a usb port at the end of the vape, which means that it becomes rechargeable. Now, some groups including, as you said, the local government association, which represents councils in england are critical of this, saying it doesnt necessarily bring the kind of benefits that the ban was designed to address. They say this definition of disposable really needs to be made clearer to prevent Companies Finding what they call loopholes in the legislation. And they give the example of that usb port to an otherwise similar product to something that they feel is really sort of designed to bypass the restrictions. And thats a view thats been echoed by some environmental groups, which have questioned whether these alternatives will actually make enough of a difference. Now, elf bar, a spokesperson for elf bar have said that theyre continuing to diversify their product lines by providing viable alternatives to single use devices and addressing the demand for a Harm Reduction tool thats helping to assist millions of people to quit smoking. Esyllt carr. 0ur our business reporter. History is being made on The Streets Of London today, as 50,000 people take part in the London Marathon. Participation is at an all time high, and injust the past hour, A New World Record has been set in the womens category. Lets go live to our Sports Reporter matt graveling, lets do the elite runners first, we had a world record in the womens category. We had a world record in the womens cateuo. ~. , had a world record in the womens cateuo. ~. , had a world record in the womens cateuo. ~. ,. , ~ had a world record in the womens cateo. ,. , ~. , had a world record in the womens cateuo. ~. , ~. ,. , category. We have, and i think a lot of eole category. We have, and i think a lot of people predicted category. We have, and i think a lot of people predicted this category. We have, and i think a lot of people predicted this because i category. We have, and i think a lot of people predicted this because we had three of the four fastest women in history. Many of them had run under 2. 70 and we had the World Record Holder as well. And it was a phenomenal race, all four women came past Buckingham Palace together and then really the sprint was on and that was won by the Reigning 0lympic that was won by the reigning olympic champion peresjepchirchirfrom champion Peres Jepchirchir from kenya and champion Peresjepchirchirfrom Kenya and she took about a minute from the reigning record set in london 2017 by mary keitany. And having had it completely authorised what exactly that time was we think it was around two hours 16 minutes in 60 seconds. So that was the biggest news of the day. But there have been three other fantastic elite races. A great day for switzerland because in a wheelchair races, we saw the Silver Bullet when fourin races, we saw the Silver Bullet when four in four here in london for switzerland. And this is the female country lady who came through. Catherine to brunner, she really dominated the womens field. This year, organisers are calling it the most inclusive marathon ever and Thatis Most Inclusive Marathon ever and that is because all four races in the elite category will take home the elite category will take home the same prize money, a4,004 first, 24,000 the same prize money, a4,004 first, 2a,000 per second and 18,000 for third place. And the last elite category to cross the finish line was the mens and that was another brilliant race and kenya again took the win, Crossing The Line versus just ahead of ethiopia. So a fantastic time here in the elite category, but you know as well as i do it is notjust about the elites Crossing The Line first. It is about the Charity Runners as well, many of whom will be in fancy dress and i reckon in about half an hour, you will see a heavy flow coming round the corner with Buckingham Palace in the background and heading down the mall. fine palace in the background and heading down the mall down the mall. One lady is running with a fridge down the mall. One lady is running with a fridge on down the mall. One lady is running with a fridge on her down the mall. One lady is running with a fridge on her back. Down the mall. One lady is running with a fridge on her back. There i down the mall. One lady is running| with a fridge on her back.

It is brilliant, isnt it . I some crazy costumes as well. It 3 brilliant, isnt it . I did a marathon one time wearing a runner� s it and it was hard enough and you see people coming dressed as a rhino. As you say, a fridge on the back. If that was me, there will be a couple of cold ones for the finish line, thats for sure 0ne a couple of cold ones for the finish line, thats for sure one man is djing as he runs. More thanjust the world record, people are doing this for charity is close to their heart, maybe they have a personal reason for running, a Family Member or friend they have lost. And it is that feeling of motion that gets you ran. I went over tower bridge in 2022 and i dont mind telling you i was raising money after my own dad passed away, tears streaming down my face. It is a beautiful moment. You have 50,000 strangers, but they are friends for 22. 6 miles and when you get to the finish area, you are hugging everyone around and that is what the London Marathon is all about. ,. ,. , what the London Marathon is all about. ,. ,. , about. There is also something about london itself. About. There is also something about london itself. There about. There is also something about london itself. There are about. There is also something about london itself. There are lots about. There is also something about london itself. There are lots of i london itself. There are lots of other marathons around the world, but there is something very special about london because you are running past so many landmarks and you have all of that support along the route. I mean, look at this, we are lucky with the weather, april could go either way, couldnt it in this country . But you go over tower bridge. You go past Buckingham Palace and down the mall, things many people may only see on the tv they dont live near the capital, so it is a brilliant marathon. And if you didnt know this, like many good ideas, the London Marathon was thought up in a pub back in the late 19705 thought up in a pub back in the late 1970s in richmond by a group of runners really inspired by the New York Marathon and they thought, lets have Something Like that here. So they put on the first one in 1981 and i can tell you they had about 6200 finishes that day. This year, they are looking at around 50,000. This raise has already raised more than £1 billion for charity, that record hit more than five years ago. More charities getting lots more money today. Youre right, fantastic, One Of The Best in the world and these guys coming across now for the charities are really what it is all about. What it is all about. With the Charity Runners, what it is all about. With the Charity Runners, there i what it is all about. With the Charity Runners, there are i what it is all about. With the i Charity Runners, there are personal best, i will ask you your time, but it isnt about the time for a lot of people, it is the fact they have managed to achieve that personal landmark of running a marathon. It is so much about the marathon distance. 26. 2 miles, neverforget the two, runners will not thank you for forgetting the 0. 2 the two, runners will not thank you forforgetting the 0. 2 for the two, runners will not thank you for forgetting the 0. 2 for many people come out runners tend to say the finish line of finish time. They are saying, are you going for a time orjust looking to complete it . It doesnt really matter because once you complete this distance, you are a marathon runner. For some people, they were completed in just under three hours, some might take eight hours. These final roads hoping to be reopened at 8 30pm, they started being closed for preparations at 4am. That shows just how inclusive this distance is for people. With a little bit of training, some people do 12 weeks leading up if they have running experience, some people might do a 20 week training plan. But you have people who have genuinely never run one before turning up today, completing this distance and hanging a medal around their neck and being so proud of what they have achieved achieved in the money they raise for charity. Come on, then, what was your time . B, come on, then, what was your time . Couple of years ago, i did this in 3. 45. Last week, i did one in 3. 20. I dont know if i can do much faster than that, im getting old i would love to be back on The Streets Of London, but then i would miss out on doing this, so maybe i will have to doing this, so maybe i will have to do a different one. I doing this, so maybe i will have to do a different one. Do a different one. I would take three days do a different one. I would take three days and do a different one. I would take three days and 20 do a different one. I would take three days and 20 if do a different one. I would take three days and 20 if i do a different one.

And you can follow all the runners as they arrive on the bbc sport website or app. They have a special feed of the camera over the finish line so you can see the people running. Nice and unique. Mountain rescue volunteers are calling for extra signs to be added to some of the lake districts most popular and dangerous hiking trails. A Teenage Walker has spoken about his terror after falling into freezing conditions on the descent of scafell pike. It took 19 hours for volunteers to get ben longton and his two dogs to safety. Mark mcalindon has the story. This was the moment that ben longton was finally lifted out of piers gill below the summit of scafell pike last month, a moment he didnt think would come. I thought i was dead, i didnt think anyone would call. So i thought, im just going to go sleep because itll be less painful death than staying awake. In deep snow, ben had lost the path on his way down the fall, broke his femur and left him trapped in the Notorious Ravine alongside his two dogs. Look at you. Hello. Im penny. Ben came to meet the Mountain Rescue volunteers whod spent 19 hours first identifying where he was and then working out how to get him out. It was extremely challenging from all angles. And we had an Access Problem where we needed technical ropes rescue to get down into the gill, logistical problems to get allthe gear up, with limited people. And then medically, quite a difficult challenge in rescue, in difficult Winter Conditions and in a gale with water flowing all around. In the last eight years, there have been four deaths and a0 rescues, some involving serious injuries. Volunteers say its too easy to take a wrong turn, as ben langton did. Do you think having signage up there would have prevented some of the fatalities and serious injuries that youve seen on pierce gill . Undoubtedly. I would be loath to see a lot of signage, but i think there are points where i because specifically there, the topography tends to draw people one way or another. At specific points, i think it could be really helpful. The landowner, the national trust, though, is reluctant. It says signs on scafell pike would set a precedent for elsewhere in the lakes, and that information on safety is available at its Lake Head Car Park in wharfedale. Ben langton says he wouldnt have fallen if there had been signs or a fence and he says he owes his life to rescue volunteers. Mark mcalinden, bbc news. 0rganisers of the uks largest indoor arena have apologised for cancelling tickets to a test show hours before it was due to start. Co 0p live in manchester is set to have over a 23,000 person capacity and 11,000 were due at last nights event. Bosses said it was a Difficult Decision to cancel some tickets at short notice, theyve invited those affected to another preview show next week. Leeds train station is one of the busiest in the uk, and now musicians can officially set up stage there. A busking spot has been opened up in the stations main concourse by network rail, becoming the first of its kind outside of london. 0ur reporter tom ingall went to see what difference it is making. Lets make a start at Something Better so we can say this is the start of something big. This duo might have thought their busking days were over, but even when their vocals might be crashed by a Tannoy Apology for leaves on the line, leeds favourites the dunwells can still draw a crowd. Leeds train station looks incredible now, and i think that this step to put live music into the train station is going to be incredible. It allows music, culture, everything that is good about leeds as soon as people come off the train. I feel like subconsciously, you hear music all around, you know, whether its when you walk into shops or cafes, but then when you hear a live element of music, itjust kind of takes it to the next level, it brings a different energy. Tired travellers have, for the longest time, had their spirits revived by the slow sax of baker street played at. Baker street. But this is the first time leeds has been offered officially as a busking venue. Leeds is the second busiest station in the uk outside of london. Leeds has a fabulous music heritage. Youve got tiny venues to big venues and youve got a huge talent pool of people who want to play, so its an easy choice to make. Are there people, though, who prefer not to be bothered by saxophones in the concourse and things like that . You might have to listen to it for 15 seconds. Thats not going to really harm anyone, is it . If you dont like what you hear, you just move on, catch your train. I love it. I really feel like it provides a positive energy, you know, around as people are kind of like rushing about. And for those of us who have time to spare, you know, we can stop in and listen. So youve got about an hour to kill at Leeds Railway station . Yeah, and this is the perfect way to kill it, live music, nothing better. Have you enjoyed your stay in leeds . Oh, so much, its been beautiful here. Could you see yourself getting a permit, then, and coming to do a couple of rounds of wonderwall . Possibly, yes, but very busy in my work, so it is difficult. So youre not about to make a Career Change into full time busking . Im afraid not, no. Leeds could be the first of many more network rail stations where busking makes you feel good. Even so, were probably some distance from metallica live in mexborough. Thank you very much. Tom ingall, bbc news. Hes the exotic creature who made International Headlines when he was fished out of a lake in cumbria two months ago. Now fluffy has found a new home. The Alligator Snapping Turtle which is normally found in the warm waters around florida is settling into the National Centre for Reptile Welfare near tonbridge, in kent. Juliette parkin has the story. Meet fluffy, the not so cuddly reptile with a not so friendly reputation. But believe it or not, its not uncommon to keep these creatures as pets. Just make sure youre careful where you put your fingers. You can see on his tongue here, we can see that little pink lure. Thats what he uses to lure fish in. So hes an ambush predator. He doesnt rush around chasing things. He sits there waiting for the food to come to him. Some little fish swims along, sees that tongue and thinks, oh, thats a nice, juicy worm, and they become lunch. So they have a very fearsome reputation, which is actually due to their looks. Hes not aggressive. If you put yourfinger in his mouth, he would bite you and it would hurt quite a lot. Fluffy was named at the cumbrian vets where he was cared for after he was found in a lake. Its believed hed been dumped. Hes now recovering well at the centre near tonbridge. Hes quite soft, which is a condition called metabolic bone disorder. So he hasnt had the best diet. Hes feeding very well. So i think his prognosis now is extremely good. Any who take the bait find themselves grabbed by some of the most powerful jaws in the world. Alligator snapping turtles are native to swamps and rivers in southern parts of the us. They can weigh up to 12 stone, and have a Life Expectancy well in excess of 100 years. Look at the size of that head fluffy� s clearly got a bit of growing to do, but the centres more than happy to have him to stay. Just pure muscle power driving that jaw because hes got an interesting story, hell probably become a bit of a mascot for the centre. And visitors need no reminding this animal may bite.

Good afternoon. April sunshine has more kick to it. It will feel quite pleasant towards western spots of the uk for the rest of the afternoon. Lovely start to the day in pembrokeshire, albeit chilly. The air is cold for the time of year and it is exceptionally cold towards north sea facing coasts, with a brisk north easterly wind blowing. And that colder air marked in blue is set to stick around too much of the rest of the week. Although it could turn milder and more unsettled from the south west into next week. Lots of dry weather around today, High Pressure centred over the uk. A warm front bringing occasional rain, most of it light and patchy across central and eastern areas of scotland through north west england. But some sunny spells still across east anglia in South East England. A small chance of isolated showers. The best sunshine in Western Scotland and northern ireland, where temperatures will rise in the sunshine 18 celsius. Through this evening and overnight, milderfor most towards the north and west. The warm front gradually sinks further south and east, introducing rain into north wales and North East England as well. Some coastal and hill fog behind the front forming, but clearer skies across South East England and east anglia. A touch of frost into tomorrow morning here. As the warm front introduces more cloud into these areas moving southwards and eastwards, that cloud overrides the cold start. So feeling damp and chilly for many through the day on monday. Further outbreaks of rain moving into Eastern Wales and across the midlands. Some spots here may not get past six celsius. But further north and west to come across northern ireland, cloudier and a little cooler. The best of the sunshine across scotland, where some spots in the central belt could get as high as 16 degrees. Through monday and into tuesday, there is a cold front sinking southwards to introduce more northerly winds, so a cold feeling day for the time of year. The best of the sunshine towards parts of the west. It is always cloudier towards north sea facing coasts, with Rain Gradually Clearing from east anglia and the south east of england, but feeling chilly once again for the time of year.
