territory in an apparent hardening of its position. a city remembers five years on from the manchester arena bomb that killed 22 people. hello and welcome to bbc news. australia s incoming prime minister, anthony albanese, has vowed to sweep aside his country s reputation for dragging its heels in the fight against climate change. wildfires, bleached out coral reefs and flooding have made made australia a byword for climate fuelled disruption. mr albanese looks set to be sworn in as prime minister on monday, before he heads to tokyo for a meeting with the leaders of the us, japan and india. he s signalled a major shift in climate change policy, saying australia could become a renewable energy superpower. the quad leaders meeting is an absolute priority for australia and it enables us to send a message to the world that there is a change of government, there will be some changes in policy, particularly with regard to climate change and our engagement with the world on those
