Hours, british travellers try desperately to get back to tHe uk. Documents released at tHe High Court suggest tHere was a controversial a formal Government Apology after failing to commemorate properly more than 100,000 black and asian people who died fighting for tHe British Empire during tHe first World War. Nasas Perseverance Rover makes breathable oxygen on tHe surface of mars. Bye bye, baby, baby, goodbye. And tHe Lead Singer of tHe Bay City rollers, Les Mckeown, has died at tHe age of 65. President biden has opened a major global Climate Summit with a call to otHer World Leaders to Step Up to tHe challenge. Joe biden pledged to cut us emissions by at least half from 2005 levels by He-end'>THe End of this decade, but He warned his Country Couldnt Take Action alone. He told World Leaders that scientists were calling this tHe decisive decade for tackling climate Change And Action was needed now. This graph shows how global Carbon Emissions have risen over tHe years. THey were still relatively low until tHe mid 20th century. THe latest figures show tHe countries who are tHe biggest emitters are china, tHe us and india. 0ur Science Editor David Shukman has this report. THe more He-world'>THe World Heats up, tHe more dangerous it becomes, thats what this is all about. More intense flooding in tHe Uk And Many Parts of He-world'>THe World is more likely. While in some regions, like central america, tHe big fear is droughts getting even worse. Failed harvests are already forcing thousands to leave tHeir homes. All of a sudden, we. Can see tHe whole. Its one reason why, with a video, President Biden is making climate a priority. We knowjust how critically important that is because scientists tell us that this is tHe decisive decade. This is tHe decade we must make decisions that will avoid tHe worst consequences of a climate crisis. This virtual gatHerings saw tHe leaders of He-world'>THe Worlds biggest economies and some of its most vulnerable nations all calling for action on climate change. Were suddenly getting a flurry of promises, counted in different ways, but all significant. THe united states to cut its emissions by up to 52 by 2030. THe European Union 55 by tHe same year. And tHe uk 78 by 2035. China, He-world'>THe Worlds biggest polluter, says its emissions will fall from 2030, but President Xi wants more developed nations to cut first. OtHer countries need to increase climate Ambition And Action and make concrete efforts to Help developing countries accelerate tHe transition to green and low carbon development. To make any real difference, every country has to play its part, and despite all tHe talking in recent decades, tHe scale of tHe challenge has got even bigger. Thats because Human Activity every year emits something like 50 Billion tonnes of tHe gases that are Heating up tHe atmospHere. Now, scientists say that needs to come down by nearly half by 2030 to have any decent chance of Keeping A Lid on tHe rise in temperatures, and emissions should tHen fall to basically zero by 2050. But, at tHe moment, He-world'>THe World is not Heading in that direction. So, whats likely to happen . Well, electric cars are on tHeir way. Were going to see far more of tHem. Fewer flights may be on tHe cards because prices may have to go up if tHere are charges for pollution. Eating less Red Meat is anotHer recommendation from government advisors, who say it will save carbon. And Heating our homes, not with gas boilers, but with Heat-pumps'>Heat Pumps or hydrogen, but tHe details still need to be worked out. Were working with everybody, from tHe smallest nations to tHe biggest emitters, to secure commitments| that will keep change | to within 1. 5 degrees. But for younger people, this is all too slow. This Earth Day Protest was in indonesia, and american politicians got a similar message from greta thunberg. We, tHe young people, are tHe ones who are going to write about you in tHe history books. We are tHe ones who will get to decide how you are remembered. So my advice for you is to choose wisely. Already green technologies are becoming far cHeaper, but tHe transition to a zero Carbon World will need a lot more political Help'>Will And Help for tHe countries most at risk, and all of that still needs to be negotiated. David shukman, Bbc News. 0ur North american Editorjon Sopel says President Biden� s plans to cut Carbon Emissions are ambitious. It marks a decisive break with tHe trump era, who pulled america out of tHe climate change agreement, and, yeah, it goes way furtHer than Barack 0bama in 2015. So, thats tHe optics of it. In terms of what it would require, its going to require people to change tHeir behaviour, tHe way tHey drive in a Gas Guzzling economy, tHe way people Heat and cool tHeir homes, tHe Way Industry operates. And tHen, of course, youre going to need to get congressional approval for much of this, and its farfrom clear that tHe votes are tHere. Republicans are much more sceptical, not just about tHe science, but on tHe wisdom of going aHead with this if, as we Heard in David Shukmans report, you dont have tHe chinese and tHe indians promising to make similar pledges to cut omissions. So, if tHe ambition of this is to show thatJoe Biden has global Leadership And America is back on tHe international stage, tHen box ticked. If its to show that america is going to cut its emissions by 50 in tHe next few years, well, thats a big question mark. With me now isjohn holdren, professor of Environmental Policy at Harvard University and a former Science Adviser to President 0bama. Hejoins me from Cape Cod in massachusetts. Also im joined by Helen-mountford'>Helen Mountford from He-world'>THe World resources institute, a non Profit Organisation that Helps Government And Business leaders with climate change policy. SHe is in washington, dc. Both of you, welcome to you. We hurt our north american editor tHen speak about how this is what President Biden has and is calling for is more ambitious than President 0bama. Do you think it is too ambitious . It is you think it is too ambitious . It is certainly more you think it is too ambitious . It is certainly more ambitious than President 0bama was. Thats because we have President 0bama was. Thats because we have more information about urgency we have more information about urgency and we have more tools with which urgency and we have more tools with which to urgency and we have more tools with which to meet that urgency. I think it is appropriate. I think it is very it is appropriate. I think it is very challenging. I dont think very challenging. Idont think anybody very challenging. I dont think anybody knows wHetHer it is really attainable, but i think everybody should attainable, but i think everybody should know that pursuing it is tHe best thing should know that pursuing it is tHe best thing we can do under tHe current best thing we can do under tHe current circumstances. Pursuing it will move current circumstances. Pursuing it will move us current circumstances. Pursuing it will move us more strongly forward toward will move us more strongly forward toward a will move us more strongly forward toward a sustainable future with respect toward a sustainable future with respect to climate change than will continuing respect to climate change than will continuing with business as usual. So how continuing with business as usual. So how do continuing with business as usual. So how do you pursue this .

I would add that it is very important and President Biden recognises its important and President Biden recognises its important to approach and pursue adaptation to tHe changes in climate that we adaptation to tHe changes in climate that we can no longer avoid. No matter that we can no longer avoid. No matter what we do on emissions reductions, we cannot stop climate change reductions, we cannot stop climate change overnight. It is going to be terribly change overnight.

THe state of maharashtra accounts for about a fifth of all cases. As tHe second wave batters india, hospitals are running out of oxygen. THe bbc� s Mayuresh Konnur reports . From mumbai. THe state of maharashtra is recording tHe higHest number of coronavirus cases in india. Hospitals are running out of oxygen, and some are telling patients to source tHeir own supply. Bbcjournalist Nilesh Dhotre went to this with his fatHer. Translation wHen tHe hospital ran out of oxygen, i brought two cylinders from a nearby government covid centre. I tried to get two cylinders from tHe local municipality. We saw a van carrying oxygen cylinders on tHe road. We asked him to give us some. Thankfully, tHe driver of tHe van agreed. Hospitals also move patients after Oxygen Supplies run out. But such is tHe demand, some hospitals are refusing to admit new patients. This doctor is caring for 27 covid patients in pune. Translation last week was horrible. Many patients need more Oxygen Support because of tHe new mutated strain of tHe virus. Even a 20 year old needs support. Such a demand was not expected. THe government is stunned. I know four or five patients who died because oxygen was not available. THe situation at Oxygen Refilling plants is also critical. This plant in Central Maharashtra is working around tHe clock. Yet tHeyre not able to meet tHe demand. Translation in normaltimes, we supply 100150 cylinders we work six to seven hours, but now industrial sales are banned and tHe government is asking us to produce 700 cylinders every day for hospitals. That is a huge task. Maharashtra is Sourcing Supplies from across india and has also called on tHe indian Air Force to Help, but tHe State Government can only do so much. As tHe otHer states declare oxygen emergencies, maharashtra is far from alone. Mayuresh konnur, Bbc News, mumbai. THe Headlines on Bbc News sport, and for a full round up from tHe bbc sport centre, Heres. Sport centre, Heres tulsen. Good evening. THeres one game in tHe Premier League this evening which is important for both teams in differing ways. THe hosts, leicester city, have lost tHeir last two as tHey cling on to third spot, while West Bromwich Albion have scored eight goals winning tHeir past two games, but tHey still Sit Nine points from safety. Currently goalless in that one just 18 minutes played. Earlier today, Arsenal Manager Mikel arteta confirmed that both tHe owner Stan Kroenke and ceo of tHe Club Vinai Venkatasham apologised to him over tHe failed bid to form a Super League. Arteta says its been a warning to owners that fans must never be forgotten. This has given a big lesson, and it shows tHe importance of football in He-world'>THe World. And it shows that tHe soul of tHe sport belongs to tHe fans, and thats it. During this pandemic, for A Year, weve been trying to sustain this industry with no fans in tHe stadium, but wHen tHe fans have to come out and talk, tHey talk really loud and clear and tHey send probably tHe strongest message that has ever been sent in football world. And every club have done tHe right thing, so thats a massive sustainment for tHe history of football. THe la Liga President Javier Tebas has said tHe Super League as it is, is dead. Barcelona said it would be a massive mistake to notjoin tHe league and tHey said tHey would stay involved. Carlo ancelotti, who managed real in spain for two years, says football needs Promotion And Relegation for tHe sport to move forward. THey wanted to build up tHe competition without sport merit, and this is not retractable because our culture, we were born to have merit. If you are good, you play Football And Youll be professional. If you are not good, you are not professional. If you are better, you have to win. You have to play tHe best competition, and this is, i think, what tHey didnt take in consideration and tHey were wrong. While Football Managers are used to providing Injury Updates for tHeir squad, Brighton Boss Graham Potter had to explain how He got this impressive black eye. Id love to be able to tell you tHeres a Heroic, chivalrous story that i can make myself look really good, but unfortunately ijust missed my footing walking over some steps and went crashing into a metal railing. And ive got a flash on my back and i look a little bit better, so tHe Lady Upstairs tells me, looking more rugged and handsome, but i think sHes crazy of course. Three tries for Wigan Athletic meant tHey ended castle for� s unbeaten beginning. And now st. Helens leading huddersfield 6 0 withjust tHe one drop. Britains Cameron Norrie will face 11 time Champion Rafael Nadal in tHe quarterfinals of barcelona 0pen. Norrie went through after eighth Seed David Goffin retired with an injury, while Nadal Beat Kei Nishikori in three sets. Mark selby at tHe Snicker Championships made his way through after easing to a victory. After doing tHe hard work prior to this final shot, doing tHe hard work prior to this finalshot, his doing tHe hard work prior to this final shot, his challenger missed and left Mark Selby with an easy shot to move on. Its four frames all between Ronnie 0sullivan and Anthony Mcgill in tHeir all english second round contest, after mcgill won tHe last two frames of tHe session to put tHe pressure on tHe six time world champion 0sullivan. THey will continue to play tomorrow morning. How is your snicker . Anchor pretty lousy to be honest. Thank you. Documents released at tHe high Court Today have sHed more light on how Ppe Contracts were awarded at tHe start of tHe pandemic last year. THey suggest tHere was a controversial Vip Route that allowed certain companies to Fast Track tHe process. Our special Correspendent Lucy manning has more. Well, over tHe last year, tHe bbc has revealed details of millions of gowns and facemasks that couldnt be used because tHey didnt meet tHe right standards, and tHeres been concern over this Vip Route. This was wHere mps, ministers, officials could refer companies, and tHey would get on this route and many of tHem did get more contracts to supply ppe. Well, tHe good law project, a campaign group, took tHe government to court over some of tHese deals. THeres been a Hearing today. E mails have been publisHed, and we can see tHe concern that some civil servants had at tHe time about this Vip Route. 0ne E Mail system says from a civil servant. And we also get some detail in tHese E Mails about how companies got into tHe Vip Route. Pestfix, a company we revealed some of tHeir masks couldnt be used. Well, one of tHeir company officials was at an 80th Birthday Party with tHe Her-in-law'>FatHer In Law of one of tHe Health'>Department Of Health officials, and thats how tHey got involved in tHe system. Ayanda capital, who we also revealed some of tHeir facemasks couldnt be used, tHey had an adviser who was also advising tHe government on trade, andrew mills. One of tHe E Mails says one for tHe Vip Route. Ayanda capital says in response any accusations of cronyism are unsubsta ntiated. Why does this all matter . Well, it raises tHe question of, yes, tHere was a panic, a scramble to get ppe at tHe Height of covid, but was tHe government wasting Taxpayers Money with companies that didnt have track records and equipment that, in He-end'>THe End, some of it couldnt be used . THe latest coronavirus figures Here show tHere were tHere were 2729 new infections recorded in tHe latest 24 hour period. 2471 new cases were reported on average per day in tHe last week. Just over 1900 people are in hospital. 18 deaths were reported. Thats people who died within 28 days of a positive Covid 19 test. On average in tHe past week, 22 deaths were announced every day. THe total number of deaths is now 127,345. As for vaccinations, just under 118,000 people have had tHeir first dose in tHe latest 24 hour period, meaning more than 33. 2 million have now had tHeirfirst dose. THe take up for tHe second jab remains high, withjust over a16,000 in tHe latest 24 hour period, meaning just under 11. 2 million people are now fully vaccinated. THe Prime Minister has offered an Unreserved Apology for tHe failure to commemorate properly tHe deaths of tens of thousands of black and asian troops who fought for tHe British Empire during tHe first World War. THe Commonwealth War Graves Commission found that at least 116,000 people who died werent given Headstones because of what tHey call pervasive racism. Our Home Editor Mark easton has tHe story. THe imperial war Graves Commission was establisHed with a remit to remember every individual who died for tHeir country regardless of rank, class, religion or race. In france, tHe immaculate memorial is an Example Ofjust that. But outside europe, tHe commission enacted a policy of discrimination, categorising He-fallen'>THe Fallen as white, indians or what it called natives. This village in punjab, tHen part of british india, sent 460 men to fight in tHe first World War, tHe largest of any village in south asia. And yet tHe war dead are not named. A shock to a british gp who went to research his ancestors from tHere. I just came across tHe whitewashing of history wHen it came to tHe World Wars. And growing up born and bred in nottingham, in history lessons, i never saw a photograph or any story of a black soldier or an indian soldier. In soutHern kenya, white war dead lie beneath war memorials in a well tended cemetery. Beyond tHe fence is wHere tHeir african comrades are very, no names and no gravestones. This man Headed tHe Commonwealth War Graves Commission and said natives were not civilised enough to appreciate individual Headstones. THe report finds at least 116,000 casualties of World War i, mostly africans and indians, were not commemorated by name or were not commemorated at all. THe consequence of pervasive racism. It was a policy encouraged by winston churchill, secretary of state for tHe colonies. He advised tHe commission would not erect individual Headstones for native troops, but a central memorial in some suitable locality. Shortly after sunrise. THe commission has known for years tHere were significant issues with tHe way black and asian servicemen had been honoured, a century too late. Today, tHe Prime Minister gave his personal backing. I want to apologise for tHe failures to live up to tHeir founding principles all those years ago and have deep regret that it has taken so long to rectify tHe situation. THey are inviting me to have a conversation that will be difficult to have and have someone like me pointing out what tHey should have done years ago without Glorifying Colonialism and without glorifying tHe empire. THere are promises to act, but true Healing will take time. Not only has tHere been a great historical injustice to black and asian servicemen, but our Nations Story has been missing vital pages. Mark easton, Bbc News. Now its time for a look at tHe weatHer with nick miller. Hello. It may have been warm in tHe sunshine today, its anotHer chilly night on tHe way. Many of us, a risk of frost, looks to be coldest across parts of Eastern England. Could be 4 into tHe morning. Some areas of cloud in tHe far nortHeast of scotland and tHe chance of a shower in tHe Hern-isles'>NortHern Isles, still quite windy through tHe English Channel and Channel Islands into southwest england. So wHere that wind is strongest, you will avoid frost, but many of us will be at orjust below freezing. Again, looks coldest into Eastern England. But after that chilly start, temperatures rebound quickly tomorrow, with plenty of sunshine again, a little hazy with high cloud Here and tHere, still some cloud in tHe far nortHeast of scotland, and in tHe Hern-isles'>NortHern Isles it may threaten a shower. Still that brisk, gusty wind through tHe Channel Islands and into southwest england, wHere elsewHere tHe winds are light and in that strong sunshine it will feel warmer tomorrow and temperatures could be up to around 20 celsius in a few spots, gradually turning a little cooler and cloudier over tHe weekend. Hello this is Bbc News with me, kasia madera. THe Headlines. President biden hosts a virtual Climate Summit with World Leaders, and pledges to cut Americas Carbon emissions, by at least half. Indias coronavirus cases hit record levels, and as tHe countryjoins tHe uks Red List in less than 24 hours, british travellers try desperately, to get back to tHe uk. Documents released at tHe High Court suggest tHere was a controversial route that allowed certain companies to Fast Track tHe process for Awarding Ppe contracts. A formal Government Apology after failing to commemorate properly more than A Hundred Thousand black and asian people who died fighting for tHe British Empire during tHe first World War. Nasas Perseverance Rover makes breathable oxygen on tHe surface of mars and tHe Lead Singer of tHe Bay City rollers Les Mckeown has died, at tHe age of 65. Back to our top story and President Biden opened a major virtual Climate Summit today, pledging to dramatically cut us emissions over tHe next nine years. Lets Take A Look at tHe commitments made by each country, as weve Heard, tHe united states will aim to cut Carbon Emissions by 50 52 below 2005 levels by He-end'>THe End of this decade. Borisjohnson announced a target for tHe uk To Cut Emissions by 78 on 1990 levels by 2035. THe eu says it will reduce emissions by at least 55 by 2030, compared with 1990 levels. And japan has pledged to increase its Carbon Reduction Target to 46 on 2013 levels by 2030. No new commitments yet from china and it is now responsible for 28 of global Carbon Emissions. This afternoon, President Biden said industrial innovation would be key to tHe united states meeting its target. I want to build a critical infrastructure to produce and deploy clean technology, both those we can Harness Today and those that we will invent tomorrow. I talked to tHe experts and i see tHe potentialfor a more prosperous and equitable future. THe signs are unmistakable. THe science is undeniable. And tHe cost of inaction keeps mounting. THe united states is not waiting, we are resolving to Take Action. Most of He-world'>THe Worlds emissions are produced by large companies around tHe globe. But what can individuals do if tHey want to play tHeir part to cutting emissions . Its all down to your Carbon Footprint, as our Heck-correspondent'>Reality CHeck Correspondent Chris Morris reports. Sometimes its hard for an individual to know wHere to start with climate change. Its such a big subject, how can one person actually make a difference . Well, one way and its not necessarily easy, is to look at how you can reduce your own personal Carbon Footprint. THe Carbon Footprint refers to tHe total amount of Greenhouse Gases released into tHe earths atmospHere as a result of tHe activities of an individual or an organisation. Remember, Greenhouse Gases trap Heat inside tHe atmospHere and thats over Heating tHe planet, so if you want to work out your own Carbon Footprint, you need to know tHe amount of Greenhouse Gases, like Carbon Dioxide, you are responsible for creating. Its a difficult thing to measure precisely and tHere are different definitions about how best to calculate it, but roughly speaking tHere is tHe direct impact of using energy wHen we travel or to power our homes, and tHere is tHe indirect impact of tHe energy used to create all tHe things we use or consume. In tHe developed world in particular, transport is a big part of your Carbon Footprint. Cutting down on tHe use of Petrol Or Diesel cars and taking fewer flights is one of tHe most effective ways of reducing it. THe place you live also contributes to your personal footprint. It is important to make sure that your home is Heated or cooled efficiently and is well insulated. THe more you can use sustainable energy like solar and wind power, tHe more you cut your emissions. THe stuff we use at home also adds to tHe problem. All that plastic, Metal And Cardboard takes a lot of energy to produce and dispose of. So recycling can Help reduce your Carbon Footprint but not as much as how you travel or eat and cool your home. THen tHere is your diet. Above all, Red Meat makes your Carbon Footprint bigger because cows produce so much methane and otHer greenhouse gas. A huge numbers of trees are cut down to create pastures on which cattle can graze. In tHe developing world, polluting stoves are a real problem too, so its important to try to replace tHem with more efficient methods of cooking. But overall, people in poorer countries produce far smaller amounts of Greenhouse Gases than people in ricHer countries to do. So if you look atjust what a country produces, tHe average amount of Carbon Dioxide emissions per person in tHe united states is about 16. 1 tonnes per year. In china it is 7. 1 tonnes and in tHe uk its about 5. 5 tonnes. But in tHe democratic republic of tHe congo, its only 0. 03 tonnes, while in qatar, which has a really small population but produces so much Oil And Gas, its 38. 6 tonnes. Thats just production. It doesnt take into account all tHe otHer thing we talked about, how much you consume. But obviously tHe more money you have, tHe more you tend to consume, so if people in ricHer countries really want to reduce tHeir Carbon Footprint, tHey need to make huge changes in tHeir lifestyles. It can be done and new technologies to make things greener are coming on stream all tHe time. But it is a reminder that tHe declared aim in many countries of going carbon neutral by tHe middle of this century means a revolution in tHe way we live. Downing street has announced an internal inquiry into tHe leak Chris Morris with some practical solutions tHere. Downing street has announced an internal inquiry into tHe leak of private Text Messages between Boris Johnson and Billionaire Sirjames Dyson over tHe Tax Status of his employees. THe bbc revealed tHese Text Messages sent at tHe start of tHe pandemic, in Which Borisjohnson says He would fix tax rules that tHe businessman Sirjames Dyson said presented an obstacle to Making Ventilators for tHe nhs. Labour have called for all correspondence from Mrjohnsons Phone about Government Business to be released. 0ur political editor, Laura Kuenssberg has more. Ticking. THere wasnt time to waste. At tHe start of tHe pandemic, those at tHe Cabinet Table were under tHe most intense pressure. But were mistakes made in tHe rush . Yesterday, we revealed tHe Prime Minister and tHe businessman Sirjames Dyson had been in touch by direct text. Dyson had offered to make ventilators for tHe nhs in tHe uk, but tHe firm wanted guarantees tHey wouldnt have to pay extra tax if tHey brought more staff in. Government business is meant to be transparent labours calling foul. Weve got this bizarre situation, wHere youve got some people whove got tHe prime Ministers Number and can access him and He apparently will respond by telling people that Hell get things done and tHen youve got tHe vast majority of people whove got no such access. Dyson spent £20 million and didnt get a contract in He-end'>THe End. THe firm says tHey were only trying to comply with tHe rules. Sirjames became a Uk Tax resident again this week and ministers have defended what went on. What tHe Prime Minister did was to ensure that things happened. Now this is tHe Her-and-delay'>DitHer And Delay of tHe socialists. THey dont want to do things, tHey want to put tHe process aHead of succeeding. Let us Praise Dyson for all that He has contributed to british manufacturing tHe huge success that He has been. THere were concerns in government, though, about how Boris Johnson communicates. 0ne senior Whitehall Figure told me tHere was great anxiousness about this Prime Minister Doing Deals on whatsapp. Nobody trusted him, nobody knew what was improper. And number 10 did not officially deny today claims that borisjohnson had been advised to change his Phone Number in tHe autumn. Downing street emphasises this was happening during an emergency, adamant nothing went wrong and confident of some public sympathy, but its not tHe only strand of concern about Access And Influence raising doubts about wHetHer this is a government that really plays fair. Whatever tHe tangle, one question is tHe same can you be sure those with tHe wrong motives never sneak behind tHe gates . Laura kuenssberg, Bbc News, westminster. THe most senior civil servant at tHe treasury, Sir Tom scholar, has said tHe failed finance company, greensill capital, persistently lobbied tHe department to be included in tHe governments covid support scHemes.

In tHe us, tHe funeral of Daunte Wright, a 20 year Black Man shot by police earlier this month, is being Held In Minneapolis. His coffin arrived at tHe church earlier, under tight security. This is taking place in tHe same city wHere George Floyd was murdered by police. Since Derek Chauvin was found guilty on monday, some of tHe attention on that trial, has shifted to this funeral, with tHe same questions being asked about Police Violence against black people In Minneapolis and across tHe united states. Daunte wrights parents spoke of tHeir loss at tHe funeral. I mean, i dont really speak much, but Words Cant even explain how i feel right now. You know, that was my son. Im going to. Man. Applause. I remember wHen Daunte Wright first became a fatHer. His son was born at 28 weeks along, so He was premature, and tHe joy that junior brought to dauntes life was truly amazing. He was so happy and so proud, and He always said He couldnt wait to make his son proud. And. He. Was, just, junior was tHe joy of his life, and He lived for him every single day. And now Hes not going to be able to see him. THe reverend Al Sharpton, tHe veteren civil rights campaigner, gave tHe eulogy. Yes, some of us have different tactics, but All Of Us have tHe same goal.

THe manufacturer says it has had to adjust production scHedules due Supply Chain Disruption caused by Covid 19. 0ur Reporter Nina Nanji is Here. Jaguar Land Rover are not tHe only one facing Supply Difficulties . Thats right. We have seen similar warnings from Car Makers all over He-world'>THe World. And jl are is just tHe latest in a long line. So earlier today, tHey issued a Statement Saying that tHey were halting production at two of tHeir major Car Factories in tHe uk. So those are at Castle Brome Edge and also at hillwood. But tHey did insist that tHeir production at tHe Solihull Factory would continue. THey also said that tHey were working with tHeir suppliers to try and minimise tHeir suppliers to try and minimise tHeissues tHeir suppliers to try and minimise tHe issues and reduce tHe issues to customers as well with tHeir orders. THe question is why would a shortage of chips because such a major issue. If you look at what a modern car is or looks like this nowadays, its a computer on wHeels because it contains so many electronic Devices, everything from cameras to electronic gadgets, and all of those require Semi Conductors in order to be able to function. That is something that tHe entire industry is struggling to get its hands on right now. Is struggling to get its hands on riaht now. �. ,. , right now. Ive got to say, sometimes right now.

It wont surprise you that tHe pandemic is played a big Part I Shortage . It wont surprise you that tHe pandemic is played a big part in| tHe pandemic is played a big part in that. So firstly, tHe supply side, as we know, production and also shipping has really been impacted by coronavirus. Also, on tHe demand side, we have seen a huge surge in demand for things like electronic equipment, laptops, computers, for all of those people that have been working from home during tHe pandemic. That has really caused something of a perfect storm, and its caused this global shortage of Semi Conductors. But its notjust tHe Car Industry thats impacted. THere is a whole range of industries that are hugely reliant on Semi Conductors in order to function from everything from tvs, phones, video games, you name it. And all of tHese industries are in a way sort of competing for each otHer with this limited amount of supply. So that is wHere we are in in this Situation Commander Part is, No One seems to know right now how long tHe disruption will continue. That is because it takes time to ramp up chip productions, even if it is stepped up, its likely tHe disruption would continue for some weeks and months to come. Fascinating insiahts, months to come.

It says it will guarantee a job for every young person in scotland and tHe party has also called for tHe country to unite behind a National Covid Recovery Plan. . Heres our Scotland Editor sarah smith. THe banks of tHe River Clyde were once rock solid labour ground. THe party that once dominated scotland now languisHes in third place and tHeir new leader admits will not form tHe next scottish government. I would love to say to you, sarah, that i have tHese superpowers to reverse a 20 Year Decline in ten weeks. Im not pretending to have such a superpower. But what i do want to do is to be honest and direct with people across scotland. THe Labour Party Hasnt been good enough, you deserve a better Labour Party, and im going to work Day And Night to give you that better Labour Party you deserve so we can all rebuild tHe country that we love. Scottish labour propose under 25s and tHe long term unemployed to be guaranteed a job in tHe public sector, rapid diagnostic centres for cancer patients, a free digital Device for every school pupil, increasing tHe scottish Child Payment to £20 a week and opposing an Independence Referendum within tHe next five years. If tHe result of this election is a majority of msps who support independence, how can labour stand in tHe way of what voters have chosen, which is to have anotHer referendum . What people are worried about right now in Scotland Isnt tHe date of a referendum. What tHeyre worried about is keeping tHeir Loved Ones safe, wHen are tHey going to get a vaccine . If and wHen tHeyll have a job to go back to, tHeir Childrens Education and mental Health, tHe cancelled operation or tHe failure to get a cancer diagnosis, tHe planet were going to leave our children and our grandchildren. THese are tHe big issues, i think. Could you work with an Snp Government whilst tHey were, at tHe same time, pursuing an Independence Referendum within tHe next three years . Firstly, this isnt a party manifesto, its a Recovery Plan for all of scotland. I dont support independence, i dont support a referendum but is that going to stop me from working with people to challenge child poverty, to get a great investment in our nhs, to get people back to work . No. If labour succeed in becoming tHe main Opposition Party in scotland, it wants to concentrate on Covid Recovery not tHe constitution. Labour say tHe Country Cant recover from tHe pandemic whilst politicians are arguing about independence. Its also true that labours fortunes in Scotland Cant recover whilst independence dominates. Squeezed between tHe snp and tHe staunchly Pro Unionist conservatives, labour often struggles to get its arguments Heard. Sarah smith, Bbc News, greenock.

Certainly, i am very glad to be sized Device. Certainly, i am very glad to be Here sized Device. Certainly, i am very glad to be Here and sized Device. Certainly, i am very glad to be Here and we sized Device. Certainly, i am very glad to be Here and we have sized Device. Certainly, i am very. Glad to be Here and we have made oxygen on mars, but im breathing easier today Here on earth. Moxie is a term if you will, a mechanical tree, in that it does tHe same thing a tree does. A Turn C02 into oxygen that we can breatHe and more importantly that our rockets can use to breatHe so tHey can burn tHeir fuel. Thats tHe real long Term Goal of moxie, to Help astronauts come home from mars some day because tHey need a huge tank of oxygen to lift that rocket off tHe ground. Moxie works something like a Fuel Cell in a cHemical reaction, in this case Carbon Dioxide going to its components to Oxygen And Carbon monoxide is driven by an electric current, by a power supply, and thats how we generate oxygen in and out of c02 on mars. Out of c02 on mars. WHen you describe It Out of c02 on mars. WHen you describe it like out of c02 on mars. WHen you describe it like that, out of c02 on mars. WHen you describe it like that, It Out of c02 on mars. WHen you describe it like that, it sounds| describe it like that, it sounds absolutely incredible. Moxie has made tHese five grams of oxygen which will let an astronaut to breatHe for around ten minutes. Im assuming tHe greater plan is to scale this up so you could have a whole colony of people out tHere . What is your thinking . THe shorterterm what is your thinking . THe Shorterterm Plan what is your thinking . THe Shorterterm Plan is what is your thinking . Tie shorter Term Plan is for those what is your thinking . Tue shorter Term Plan is for those first missions to mars, wHen a crew of maybe four astronauts may land on tHe surface, spend A Year or A Year and a half on tHe surface and tHen come home. And, you know, tHey will have with tHem only what tHey can take with tHem. So this way, we can provide 25 tonnes of oxygen for tHem to breatHe, and more important, so tHey can actually get back home from tHey can actually get back home from tHe planet. In tHe longer term from you are quite right, i hope we have a research station, like many countries have in antarctica, that we can keep populated with new crews coming in every couple of years to continue doing research on tHe surface of tHe red planet. Now, for All Of Us who surface of tHe red planet. Now, for All Of Us who watch, surface of tHe red planet. Now, for All Of Us who watch, say surface of tHe red planet. Now, for All Of Us who watch, say martian i All Of Us who watch, say martian with matt damon, you know, is that your thinking .

You know, it is hard to predict tHe politicalfuture, i think we can say with confidence that tHe technology can happen by tHen, and fortunately, it is not just nasa any more who is engaged in thatjourney. And i dont mean space sectors, so many otHer countries, just look this year at different spacecrafts from different countries arriving at mars. Im truly confident that that this next step of our Human Journey to anotHer planet is going to continue. Tts planet is going to continue. Its extraordinary, isnt it . Absolute pleasure.

Officers say tHey were responding to reports of an altercation between a group of men. THe Neck Neck Police in surrey have launcHed a Murder Investigation after a man was killed wHen He was hit by a car in walton on thames. Officers say tHey were responding to reports of an altercation between a group of Men One of tHe men tHen got into a White Bmw and is reported to have driven at two of tHe otHer men in tHe group. A man in his 40s was pronounced dead at tHe scene tHe owner of tHe car has been arrested. We are monitoring tHe situation. Driving tests resumed today in england and wales after being parked in december because of tHe pandemic. And a backlog built up during lockdown of around 450,000 cancelled tests. Heres our Transport Correspondent Caroline davies. Sometimes, it takes a few attempts before things line up. But Learner Drivers have rarely had to wait this long to get a test. Ive had my test cancelled i think eight times by this point, but ive kind of lost count. I live quite literally in tHe middle of nowHere with tHe nearest Bus Station being about a mile or two away. Its almost impossible to get around or go anywHere without asking someone else to give me a lift. THe last Car Driving Tests for non key workers was before christmas. THe delay has had an impact on instructors too, many of whom havent been able to work. Youve still got overHeads to cover for tHe cars, youve got to pay for tHe cars and tHe insurances and all that sort of stuff. And also, its been very frustrating for a lot of tHe pupils that you teach. Effectively, its three and a half, four months since tHeyve last been in a car. And to have that break wHen youre a fairly inexperienced driver is quite difficult for a lot of tHem. But tHe wait is almost over. THere are currently over 400,000 people waiting for a Car Test in britain. More examiners are now working weekends, extra people have been recruited, and some have been brought back out of retirement. Even tHe boss is now taking some of tHe tests. Waiting time varies around tHe country, because it depends on how many otHer people are in tHe queue, and how many examiners weve got in any given location. So it can vary quite a bit. I think tHe key thing tHere is that we will add more Test Appointments each week as time moves on. No one knows how long it will take to clear tHe backlog, so l plates may need to stay on far longer than many would like. Caroline davies, Bbc News. Good luck to anyone taking tHeir test. THe Bay City rollers singer, Les Mckeown, has died at tHe age of 65. Bye bye Bye Bye Baby, baby goodbye. THe band which had hits with tracks like Bye Bye Baby and Shang A Lang were Tartan Clad Sensations in tHe uk and us in tHe 1970s. THey were hugely successful, selling more than 120 Million records. Les mckeownjoined in 1973 and left in 1978. Our Entertainment Correspondent Colin paterson says tHey were tHe biggest band since tHe beatles. Back to back number ones, Bye Bye Baby, give a little love, only three scottish groups in history have topped tHe us charts, tHe average white band, Simple Minds and a City Rollers tHe average white band, Simple Minds and Bay City rollers with saturday night.

THey were tHe first band, really, to be dubbed tHe biggest band since tHe beatles. Colin patterson paying tribute to les mcewan who has passed away. I will be back a little later with tHe papers, but now lets have a look at tHe weatHer. Hello. Temperatures 17 degrees in Highland Scotland Today and a little warmer for many of us tomorrow. And lots of Her-watcHer'>WeatHer WatcHer pictures with a similar tHeme Shades Of Green and blue, but Heres a different take just showing how dry at least tHe topsoil is at tHe moment. All proof, of course, that it is High Pressure in control at tHe moment, and with that, barely a cloud in tHe sky today. Just a little area of cloud thats right across nortHern scotland, and weve had tHe Odd Shower in tHe Hern-isles'>NortHern Isles, more especially in sHetland. But with this area of High Pressure right across us again, tomorrow, its really a repeat of todays weatHer. We stay mainly clear overnight with tHe exception of that cloud towards tHe Heast'>North And NortHeast of scotland. Still tHe chance of a shower in sHetland, and its still quite windy through tHe English Channel, Channel Islands and into southwest england. But tHe areas of blue showing up Here will indicate that under clear skies, temperatures on tHe way down, so many of us getting a frost again into tHe morning. Parts of Eastern England could be down to 4 degrees. Now, tHe Lyrid Meteor Shower peaked last night and Heres one picture from a lucky Her-watcHer'>WeatHer WatcHer that saw something. THere still could be something to see tonight as well under those clear skies. A chilly but sunny start to tHe day tomorrow. Youll pick out still this cloud in tHe nortHeast of scotland, still tHe chance of a shower in tHe Hern-isles'>NortHern Isles. We could well see a little high cloud increasing, turning tHe Sunshine Hazy in some spots. For most, tHe winds are light and its still quite a gusty wind through tHe channel, Channel Islands and into southwest england. But away from tHe fairly chilly weatHer in nortHeast scotland, it will be an even warmer day. Could see 20 celsius somewHere tomorrow, and if that happens, thats tHe first time this month away from tHe Channel Islands weve seen temperatures that high. But hankies at tHe ready for Pollen And Hay fever sufferers Here because its looking high across much of tHe uk. Moderate to high uv even if youre in a relatively chilly breeze. That sun is still strong. Now, on friday evening, if youre going to be alfresco, tHe sunshine until sunset. High pressure still close by over tHe weekend, but more of an easterly breeze starting to filter in, and that will turn things gradually cooler as tHe weekend goes on, particularly across eastern areas wHere eventually tHerell be cloud, especially on sunday but gradually clearing. THe best of tHe sunshine and tHe warmth will continue to be across tHe western side of tHe uk, and throughout this weekend, it stays dry. This is Bbc News. President biden tells World Leaders tHey face a moral imperative to replace tHeir polluting Fossil Fuels with clean, greener technologies. THe White House is re engaging in tHe climate challenge after four years in which tHe united states had vacated tHe stage.
