The United Nations has issued a fresh warning that radical changes are needed to stem global warming, including a quicker phasing out of fossil fuels. Before we get to that lets take a quick look at how we got here. In 2015, almost all the worlds nations thats 193 countries plus the eu signed the � Paris Agreement�. There were several targets but a key one was to pursue efforts to limit global Temperature Rises to 1. 5c. But the un estimates the planet is currently due to warm by 2. 4 centigrade above Pre Industrial Levels thats well above the target. On friday, the un released the First Comprehensive assessment on Climate Action since that Paris Agreement was signed a global stocktake, ahead of climate talks in dubai later this year. Heres climate editor justin rowlatt. Wildfires raged through Southern Europe this summer, made more intense by heat waves that would have been virtually impossible without climate change, according to scientists. But todays un report says it is not all bad news on global warming. Virtually all the nations of the world agree on the urgent need to tackle the problem, says the un. And they are already taking some action. The problem is, itjust isnt anywhere near enough. Im in a place of hope and despair. Despair because we have warmed the planet already well beyond one degrees. We are on track for 1. 5 and two. These are worrying places to be in. I also have hope because we see how countries are putting together real plans to change their entire economies. But progress is being made. Just look at this global thermometer. Back in 2010, the un reckoned the world was on track for a Temperature Increase of 4. 8 degrees celsius. It warned that would be catastrophic by 2015. Countries had promised cuts that brought that down to 3. 2 celsius. By the end of the Climate Conference in glasgow in 2021, it was down to 2. 7 celsius, and the un now reckons we are headed towards a Temperature Rise of around 2. 6 celsius. But that is still way over the 1. 5 Celsius Target The World has agreed. This is about pace and its about recognizing that we need to speed things up, whether thats in the uk or indeed across the world. And thats why it comes back down to the appetite of World Leaders to recognise the urgency of the situation and be willing to act. But is the appetite there . A rapid switchover to Renewable Energy will be indispensable, says the un. The uk has made world leading progress on that transition, but today it appeared to falter. There were no bids for new offshore wind projects because said energy companies, the cash on offer from the governmentjust didnt make it worthwhile, raising questions about the uks commitment to Climate Action.

With hundreds of thousands of men now serving in its armed forces, and overfive million women having fled the country, there are few families in ukraine that have escaped being split apart by the russian invasion. Ukrainian scientists are warning this could have a long term impact on the countrys population, with birth rates having plummeted since the war began. But there are young couples who have decided to bring a new life into the world, in spite of the circumstances. 0ur Ukrainian correspondent Zhanna Bezpiatchuk has been speaking to mothers and medical professionals in the town of bucha, the site of some of the wars most horrific atrocities. 39 year old natalia is a childrens doctor in russia, bucha which has gone through the worst kind of mass deaths. Discussing the impact of the war on bucha, and her decision to come back immediately after its liberation from the russian occupation, she starts crying just a moment ago. All my life is here. Bucha is my hometown. I grew up here. I needed to come back. This doctor used to register ten newborns on average per month. Two years into the war, if she gets one or two new patients, she sees that as a sign of hope, which, parents feels a danger is still here. To give birth now in ukraine is an exploit in itself. All mothers are heroic to me. 0ne month old mia is the third child for 38 year old yulia. Shes a quiet child, as if she feels how difficult the situation is for her mum. You just gets more hardened, you get used to attacks and constant air raids. You get stronger. When i found out that i was pregnant, my husband and i decided to give birth to our third daughter. Thejob natalia does in the bucha Community Goes far beyond ordinary health care. After the fear and despair of the occupation. Doctors and midwives came back to bucha immediately after the liberation because they were needed by their patients. One of the first signs of the normalization is the birth of children by mothers who had to spend nights in Bomb Shelters to save their lives and lives of their newborns. Yulia says she knew giving birth in wartime would come with many risks. Its already a standard thing for me to get up at 2am to breastfeed mia, and then sirens are going off. It is so exhausting. Doctors are concerned that stress suffered by ukrainian mums might cause their babies delays in speech and emotional disorders. The levels of risks and danger are too high. Ukrainian pregnant women experience dual stress. Pregnancy is in itself a stress. Moreover, they live under constant uncertainty and anxiety and the need to run to Bomb Shelters. Parents in bucha, like anywhere else in ukraine, Hope The War Willjust be a story in a textbook for their babies.

The award goes to the best album released in the uk by a british or irish act. David sillito reports. The winner of the 2023 mercury prize, ezra collective it will be fair to say the ezra collective enjoyed this moment and it was also a chance to say thank you.

And this is what he was talking about. Meet tomorrows warriors. This workshop that nurtured the musicians of esra is free and packed with a youthful passion for jazz. Jazz speaks to my soul. Its a way for me to express myself, and it allows you to just play through your different experiences. Like, if youre going through something, i can speak that through the trumpet in a way that words cant. And for the man in charge of the last 30 years, jazz bassist gary crosby, this is a moment to savour. First it was, oh, my god. Its.

Founded by anansi here, and for him, the music from the scene represented by ezra is jazz, but its also something more. This is something different. Its music that you can dance to, music that you can socialize to, in a world that you know, most of us dont go to jazz clubs. Most of us dont go to sit down, to listen to music, you know, to listen to music, you know. And very much born out of 21st century britain. Completely. This is something that could only happen in the uk. In britain, they dont think it can happen anywhere else. Its a combination of. Yeah, all of my friends that come from all of these different places. And its also a reminder that Music Education like this is only possible because of a music charity. To see them recognized by the industry and see them recognized by their peers and to see them elevate all of this music thats happening that theyve been part of was just such a great moment. For ezra and all the people following their footsteps, this really is a moment to enjoy. David sillito, bbc news.

She lived here for more than a0 years, from 193a until her death in 1976. But she was such a private person, many here wouldnt have even known that the queen of Crime Writing was living in their midst. It was special because it was a place that she and her second husband, who was an archaeologist called max mallowan, actually were able to have privacy to themselves. They were able to live a more normal life. In the town, she only introduced herself to people as � mrs mallowan�. Not everybody knew that she was Agatha Christie. Im from the bbc.

Agatha christie is basically a Generational Generation to generation, fantastic, iconic, wonderful thing and there it was, doing really nothing, so along came this project and i think, really, weve had to grasp it and grab it with both hands. Its taken sculptor Ben Twiston Davies over a year to design and create this life size statue called a monument to imagination. I imagine that shes Sitting In The Park and, as we all might do, if you take ten minutes to sit on a park bench and just relax from the kind of busyness of your day, your imagination wanders. Shes having a moment of inspiration at that sort of moment of the sculpture, if you like. What do you think she wouldve made, then, of this bronze statue being unveiled in her memory . She would have hated it, ithink, |actually, to be perfectly honest. | this is the secret thats now out that, actually, | she was a resident in wallingford for 42 years.
