Company greensill. Celebrations as scotland lifts almost all its remaining coronavirus restrictions. And a heroes� welcome for the last of the Team Gb athletes to return home from success in tokyo. Hello and welcome. We are changing the earths climate in unprecedented and irreversible ways, risking widespread devastation, heat waves, floods and droughts. The head of the un has called it a Code Red for humanity. It warns that temperatures are on course to rise by more than 1. 5 Degrees Celsius above Pre Industrial Levels within the next two decades. Sea levels have risen three times more quickly compared to the previous century. But in a small message of hope, the report concludes its not too late to stop the worst effects of climate Change Provided Governments Around The World make deep and immediate cuts in carbon emissions. Heres our Science Editor David shukman. As the world gets hotter, its becoming more threatening. The terrifying scenes of Mass Escape from greek islands, burning amid heatwaves, just as devastating fires also hit california. And the new report from the Un Climate Panel says there will be much more of this to come. With a real additional amount of global warning. This major study concludes that temperatures are rising and that its beyond doubt that Human Activity is driving them up. And all the warnings so far have been ignored. The world listened, but didnt hear. The world listened, but it didnt act strongly enough. And as a result, Climate Change is a problem that is here now. Nobodys safe, and its getting worse faster. People in every region of the world are now feeling the impacts of more violent weather, fuelled by the gases that we release into the atmosphere. | it is an absolute fact that human| influence is warming the climate, and thats a very stark reminder that it is our activities which are changing the climate and affecting these extreme Weather Events. And as the planet continues to warm, these consequencesjust get worse. L the scientists are more certain of all this because theyve got satellites spotting in Minute Detail how the planet is changing. And teams of researchers out in the toughest conditions, gathering data to help work out whats likely to come next. The Big Question is how much more the planet will heat up in the coming decades, so scientists explore different scenarios. In two of them, there are rapid and deep cuts in carbon emissions, and although the temperature does rise to potentially damaging levels, its just about within the limits set by The International Community. But in two other scenarios, which are actually much closer to where were heading right now, the increases are much more dangerous. And in the most extreme, where emissionsjust keep growing, things become, well, catastrophic. But the message is that there is still time to act. In one sentence, this report shows that Human Action has got us to where we are, but Human Action can also crucially decide how the future will look like. We are not doomed. There is a lot we can all do, like this project in cambridge to fit shades to keep the sun off the windows. This problems only going to get worse with Climate Change. Were going to have, i fear, more and more heatwaves and theyre going to be worse and worse, so thats why i think it makes sense to shade your windows now, start learning how to adapt. But some changes will be far tougher to deal with. The oceans will keep rising, we just dont know how much. The scientists are warning that theres going to be some rise in Sea Level really whatever we do. Maybe half a metre by The End of the century if emissions are brought under control, or a metre if they arent. And that would be really devastating for millions of people on coastlines Around The World. But they Cant Rule out a far bigger rise approaching two metres if the polar Ice Sheets collapse. The great Ice Sheets are already adding to the level of the sea, but this process may suddenly accelerate. Scientists arent sure, but the implications would be disastrous. India is now in the grip of flooding. Higher seas would make it worse. The science has never been so clear that we can head off the worst of Climate Change, but not all of it, so we urgently need to get ready. David shukman, Bbc News. As weve heard, the effects of Climate Change are already being felt Around The World. After its most severe heatwave in 30 years, greece is continuing to battle raging wildfires on the countrys second largest island of evia. More than 600 firefighters some of them from the uk are trying to control blazing forests which have destroyed homes and businesses. More than Two Thousand people have been evacuated from evia, from where our Europe Correspondent Bethany bell reports. Fires rage on evia. It has been a week and theyre still not under control here. Greece is experiencing its worst heatwave in decades. The searing temperatures and scorching winds mean these forests are like a tinderbox. The flames leave behind a ghostly landscape, white with ash. The fire swept through these hills, killing the trees, and this is what has been left behind wreckage and destruction. The ashes are still smouldering, the ground beneath my feet is hot from the blaze. This man has come to check up on his familys farm. It belongs to his Son In Law who is off fighting the fires. Their flock of 2000 sheep and goats used to graze on this hillside. Now all lost in this disaster. He says he has never experienced a fire like this before. Translation Climate Change in my Opinion L is hurting the entire planet, and especially this forest. The authorities certainly have not handled this very well, but the fire was our destiny. No one could have put it out. Dozens of wildfires have broken out across greece in recent days. The Prime Minister says Climate Change is to blame. Translation we have an obligation to save the country from Climate Change. I am not looking for excuses, we have made important strides in organising the country, but that is not enough when we are faced with a phenomenon of such magnitude. In some areas, the fires only stopped when they reached the sea. Many locals on evia say they have been abandoned. They say the authorities have not done enough to protect the forests and their homes. And with temperatures rising, there are fears of more wildfires like this in the years to come. Meanwhile they are facing another difficult night and people are hoping the smoke will disappear. In the United States a huge wildfire in Northern California is now the second largest in the States History three people are missing after what is known as the Dixie Fire swept through two towns and forced the evacuation of thousands. It covers an area bigger than the city of los angeles. Californias governor, gavin newsom, visited the burned remains of the Gold Rush Town of greenville after the fire left the area in ruins Barbara Plett Usher is in california. It is taking up many square miles and its only 21 contained which is what we heard last night and its what we heard last night and its what youre hearing now. This is burning in areas that is fairly remote so it is a number of small towns affected and these are the people being asked to evacuate, and the new past couple of days, the area has been covered by a cover of white thick smoke. Now the smoke has dissipated, the firefighters can take their aircraft and join the fight from the sky, protecting the fighters from the ground. This is port has been published. Saying that Climate Change is happening. What is the political response to the wildfires and the climate Change Report being in washington . The Olitical Report Being In Washington . Tue political Response Report being in washington . Tte political response is yes the report write right, the biden administration has made fighting Climate Change a real irt to follow the signs and repeat it as the came out, they talked about how there had to be ambitious climate action by all countries, especially by major economies, that the cost of an action was only mounting. There are measures that Climate Change in the country recently, with announcement of a for the production of electric cars, have a bottom of those being produced 2030 electric vehicles which would have a big impact on Greenhouse Gas emissions here if that happened and in terms of the fires, last week also the White House announced billions of dollars in what goes resilience funds which means one is given to communities to try to prevent or protect themselves against big Weather Events or disasters in california got allocated half 1 billion. The uk has committed to cutting emissions by 78 by 2035. And in november, britain will host a key climate Conference Cop26 In Glasgow where it hopes to persuade The International Community to sign up to meaningful measures to reduce Greenhouse Gases. 0ur Political Correspondent Chris Mason looks at the challenges facing the government both on the international stage, and closer to home. Is this the Sight And Sound of the future under construction . At this factory in lytham in lancashire they make heat pumps, a greener alternative to a gas boiler. But putting them in can be a lot of hassle and you need lots of insulation so they are effective. One example of the changes some say will soon be essential. How scared should people be, scared about what they read in this report and scared about what changes in their lives might have to happen . They need to understand the consequences of us not collectively taking all the right actions, but ultimately of course many of these actions come down to governments, it comes down to businesses who are stepping forward and playing their part in terms of the getting to net zero and of course in each of our lives we can take actions as well. Its notjust abroad that we are seeing more extreme weather more often. From glasgow last week to london a few days before we see it here too. One group of international companies is working together to try to drive down their emissions. Are you optimistic about the future . I am optimistic, i am optimistic that we can take action and there is a lot of will to do that. But i think a report like this shows you that it is about fighting as hard as we can to give ourselves the best chance. Its as good as it has been for as long as i can remember that people want to take action on it but i think we are away from saying we can be optimistic. The scale of what faces the government here is colossal. Not only banging heads together Around The World ahead of this Climate Summit in a few months but also making the case here that the cost and changes are worth it. Especially as critics say the Government Ministers themselves are not doing enough. The Hydrogens Strategy we are still awaiting, the Heating And Building strategy still not with us, Treasury Review during the spring not with us, number ten� s Net Zero Strategy expected later in the year, Wouldnt Yourjob be easier if the government got on with what it should be doing . I am confident that we will deliver on all of these commitments before cop26 and im throwing the Kitchen Sink at this and i can tell you to make sure we get success at cop26. This is the challenge of our time. With practical consequences for us all. Delivering change quickly and affordably will not be easy. 0ur science editor, david shukman, says the significance of Todays Report is that no World Leader has distanced themselves from its central conclusion that action must be taken now to tackle Climate Change. The Big Fossilfuel the big Fossil Fuel economies the Big Fossilfuel economies had the right to scrutinise the text or they endorsed it, so whether that translates into real action is by any of them remains to be seen. The Roles Number two emitter has said that they will have emissions by 2020, china said they would carbon neutral by 2060, but we just got a report that it is reopening old coal mines because there is demand for call surging and they think the real test will come in november In Glasgow, the summit with World Leaders around the table my World Leaders around the table my World Leaders around the table my World Leaders around the table and well see if youre prepared to act on what is obviously very, very clear signs or whether they will talk about acting and not really give any answers.

Almost all scotlands remaining coronavirus restrictions have been lifted. It means an end to social distancing and limits on indoor gathering although the wearing of masks is still compulsory in some public spaces. The first minister, nicola sturgeon, says its the right moment to try to get back to normality while warning people the pandemic is not over. Lorna gordon has more a warning her report contains flashing images. Back on stage at the edinburgh fringe, and ready to welcome bigger crowds. It is a Big Day for the cast here, and the country. As nearly all of scotlands covid restrictions are lifted. This show expanding its audience overnight. If we were going to keep to the 200 audience we would, it would be very tough for us, when we heard the announcement we could increase the numbers to 400 it was amazing because the cast, all the cast we had tears from the cast. 400 is still reduced but we think it will keep our audience and ourselves covid compliant. Venues, bars, restaurants are no longer having to limit their number, but many are choosing to hang back. This Restaurant And Bar saying some of the new rules arent clear. I know a lot of people much prefer the safety of table service, masks when moving round the building, not being crammed in with 40 people round you like sardines. But you could serve people at the bar. We can, it is whether or not they can stand there and drink for an hour, two hours, four hours, we are not certain about that. So we are not going to bother. Life in scotland will feel more normal than at any time since march last year but the scottish Government Isnt calling it freedom day, they say it is far too early to say we are free from the virus. So some restrictions will remain. Masks are still mandatory here on Public Transport and in shops and Office Workers in scotland are being told where possible they should still work from home. We know lifting restrictions gives the virus more opportunity to spread, so there is a degree of nervousness but i know we cant keep legal restrictions on peoples lives forever, so we have to try to do these things at the right moments and as carefully as possible. At a minute past midnight, clubbers celebrated as their favourite nightclubs re opened after more than a year being closed. It had to spend my 20th in St Andrews at home.

The government here is warning that some of the few remaining restrictions could continue through the winter, in the hope that any increase in cases can be controlled, and for further lockdowns can be avoided. The latest Government Coronavirus figures show there were more than 25,161 new infections recorded in the latest 24 hour period, which means on average there were 27,747 new cases per day in the last week. 37 deaths were recorded in the last 24 hours thats an average of 88 a day in the last seven days. 89 of adults in the uk have now had theirfirstjab and nearly 75 are fully vaccinated.

Most of the Storms Today have been across central parts of scotland, but weve still got some heavy showers around in other areas of the uk and they will continue through this evening. Gradually overnight a lot of those showers will fade away. Still could keep some going, though, across parts of Northern England, for example. Some clear spells around. Temperatures remaining in double figures, typically 12 13 degrees. Those early showers in Northern England will tend to move away. Cant rule out one or two showers breaking out in wales, more especially towards some eastern coasts of england. The bulk of the showers, though, will be in scotland, but this time further north. So, drier across the central and southern parts of the country. And whilst it may well cloud over a bit more in Northern Ireland, there should be more sunshine elsewhere. The winds will be light, itll feel warmer and temperatures will be higher than today, up to 23 degrees. Now, as we head into wednesday, were going to find this Weather Front bringing some rain into Northern Ireland, Western Scotland. One or two showers ahead of that, but still dry and a bit warmer further east. This is Bbc News. Im reeta chakrabarti.

More now on the uns assessment of Climate Change that portrays an overheating world slipping deeper into crisis. Sea level rises are now irreversible. 0nly drastic and immediate cuts in emissions can hope to stabilise rising temperatures. In three months� time, the Cop26 Summit will take place In Glasgow, and is being touted as an opportunity to turn promises into practice with a focus on a target of reducing temperatures by 1. 5 degrees. Why is this target so important . 0ur Reality Check correspondent, chris morris, explains. It was the last big international Climate Summit in paris in 2015, which produced a legally binding treaty with a clear goal, to limit global warming this century to well below two degrees, and preferably to 1. 5 celsius, compared to preindustrial levels. And its important to stress that, when we talk about 1. 5 degrees of warming, we are talking about the increase in the average temperature across the whole planet. Now, it doesnt sound like a lot, but some places have already seen much bigger increases than that, and as the earth warms up, extreme Weather Events are becoming more frequent. Climate scientists were alarmed by how extreme some of them have been, such as the soaring temperatures in north Americas Heat Dome injune and july this year, smashing previous records. The comparison to preindustrial levels, a couple of hundred of years ago, is also important, because nearly all Man Made Global Warming has been caused by our use of Fossil Fuels, coal, oil and gas, which have powered the industrial age. The transition to Renewable Energy is well under way, but its going to be really hard to meet the 1. 5 degrees target. Some experts think it may already be too late to do so. The increase in global temperatures has now reached about 1. 1, or 1. 2 degrees above preindustrial levels, so if current trends continued, its likely we would pass 1. 5 degrees sometime in the 2030s, and possibly even sooner, and we would be heading for at least three degrees of warming by The End of the century, with catastrophic consequences. Thats why there is now such a concerted push for action, and the difference between 1. 5 and two degrees may not seem that significant, but the intergovernmental panel on Climate Change has said 1. 5 instead of two degrees would mean, among other things, Ten Million fewer people losing their homes to rising Sea Levels, potentially preventing some low lying island countries from disappearing altogether. It would limit the loss of coral reefs, of Endangered Species and of arctic sea ice, and there would be roughly 50 fewer people Around The World struggling to find fresh water. Even at 1. 5 degrees, there will be big changes to our climate, but one of the main goals In Glasgow is to keep the target firmly within reach. To do that, the world needs to halve Greenhouse Gas emissions over the next decade, and reach net zero emissions by the middle of the century. That all means huge and rapid changes to the way societies and companies operate, and this is the decade when those changes are going to have to start happening. Chris morris reporting there. The un Report Involved Hundreds of scientists from Around The World. Mark maslin is professor of Earth System sciences at the University College london. Three of his colleagues contributed to the report. Hello there, professor maslin. Thanks forjoining us on Bbc News. If you had three of your colleagues contributing to this report, i suspect that you knew a fair amount of what was going to go into it. But was there anything in it when it was published that surprised you . T published that surprised you . I think the most surprising thing was actually the language because we are all very aware of the science and how pressing Climate Change is. But what shocked me, and i think really impressed me, was the urgency of the language. The reason why thats so important is notjust a scientific document, but its also a document that has been agreed by 195 countries, and its that urgency thats really, really important. Its been agreed by 195 countries. Those that have political backing as well in those countries . Will governments in those countries now say they have to sign up to action because their scientists agree with the report .

Weve seen the uk and eu saying theyre going to get to net zero by 2050. But they will hit net zero by 2060, and the beginning of this year, the us said they will also half their emissions by 2030 and will hit net zero by 2050. So, a lot of the big countries, the big economic powers are actually taking Climate Change very seriously. What we need to do In Glasgow is have that solidarity. Bring all the countries together so we all Approach Net zero as quick as possible. We all Approach Net zero as quick as ossible. , we all Approach Net zero as quick as ossible. , possible. So, there are the targets, how realistic possible. So, there are the targets, how realistic is possible. So, there are the targets, how realistic is it possible.

I think we have to be off to make this we have to be off to make this because we see the Climate Change happening literally in front of us to be optimistic. With all these extreme Weather Events. Our scientists, we have been telling the world for 30 years, and i think it has come to the crunch point. This is the point particular they glasgow is the point particular they glasgow is going to be really important about setting the agenda. Particularly glasgow.

The taliban, emboldened by the withdrawal of us troops, have taken more territory in afghanistan in the past two months than at any time since they were ousted from power in 2001. The areas in red are under taliban control, while the blue are areas held by the afghan government. Taliban militants have taken large rural areas, key towns and six regional capitals have fallen since friday. According to the un, 27 children have died and 130 injured in the fighting in the past three days. The un Childrens Agency Unicef said it was shocked by the rapid escalation of grave violations against children. Mustapha Ben Messaoud is the chief of Field Operations for unicef in afghanistan. Hes in kandahar province, and has told the bbc what hes been seeing. It is very alarming what ive seen. Ive seen this place families, and i seen pregnant women, ive seen a little young boy with his lower part completely earned. Burned. Isaw a ten month old child and hes severely malnourished, getting treatment with our health team. But the situation is getting worse and worse of the country is facing a crisis.

There is no are safe for those families with the dangers that are happening on the road. The president Of Belarus has told the bbc that britain can choke on the economic sanctions it has imposed on his country in response to alleged ongoing human rights abuses. Speaking at a Press Conference one year since securing a sixth term in a president ial election that many view as fraudulent Alexander Lukashenko called britain americas lapdog, and denied his authoritarian government had used Torture And Violence to silence dissent. 0ur moscow correspondent, steve rosenberg, reports. He called it the big conversation. In The End, it was very big. For more than eight hours, Alexander Lukashenko was live on tv, his first major News Conference since the 2020 president ial election in belarus, a vote he is widely believed to have rigged. He claimed the election was transparent and democratic and that after the vote, there had been no repression. But over the last year, the images from belarus have told a very different story. The authorities have used violence and intimidation to suppress dissent, to silence those who have accused Mr Lukashenko of stealing the election. Police detained thousands of protesters. In belarus, that is thought to be more than 600 political prisoners. Today, britain, america and canada imposed more sanctions on minsk. My colleague Sarah Rainsford asked Mr Lukashenko for his reaction. Translation you can choke on those sanctions there in the uk. For 1000 years, we didnt even know great britain existed, and we dont want to know now. You are americas lapdogs. Its dramas like this one that have cemented Mr Lukashenkos reputation as europes last dictator. In may, he forced a Ryanairjet Flying from greece to lithuania to land in minsk so he could arrest an opposition blogger. And last week, the death of a belarusian dissident in kyiv prompted more international scrutiny of Mr Lukashenkos government. He denies any connection to that death. But he had this warning to the west. Your accusations and your sanctions will end badly for you. Translation you are risking starting World War iii. Is that what you are trying to push us and the russians into . Is that what you are trying to push us and the russians into . What do you want . Do you want to win this war . There will be no winners, and if there are, it would be not you. Continued defiance from the leader who has made his country a pariah in the west. Steve rosenberg, Bbc News, moscow. About 30 of 18 to 29 year olds in the uk still havent had their first coronavirus jab. To try to improve that, young people are being offered free taxis, pizzas and Cinema Tickets as incentives. And, as Luxmy Gopal reports, venues like nightclubs are being turned into Vaccination Centres during the day to try to make it easier for people to get a jab. Not the sort of shots youd normally expect to have on A Night Out at a club. 0n the Dance Floor of this london venue, people are getting their dose of the covid vaccine. Im actually in a musical in the West End at the corner, and ive just finished a show, and i noticed that this was open. Its, like, such a good thing for, like, the youth. To be like, look, this is where were at. You know this place. You feel comfortable here. Sojust come along and get yourjab. For the first time, Night Clubs, Including Heaven In Central London and the nightingale in birmingham, are being used as temporary Vaccination Clinics to try to encourage more young people to get the jab. In the same way that different communities have gone into, i whether it be a synagogue or a mosque, wherever they go, to try to target different communities, we can target a younger audience. Other attempts to target a younger Age Group include the Surrey Theme Park Thorpe Park Offering jabs at a Pop Up Clinic, the Festival Latitude hosting a vaccination bus, and free food and live music at a Vaccine Festival in the London Borough of tower hamlets. More incentives are planned, such as discounts on deliveroo meals and uber journeys. From september, the government says unvaccinated people wont be able to enter Night Clubs and other large scale events. But how effective can the Carrot And Stick approach be . 23 year old Sam Duffy was keen to get the vaccine as soon as he was eligible. His twin is the opposite. These covid passports and stuff come in later in the year. Hes not going to be able to go out to any bars, clubs, things like that. Why is he hesitant . A lot of online stuff. He reads the misinformation about it, a bit sceptical. Hes a bit nervous about the long Term Side effects of it. Latest figures show that, while Vaccine Hesitancy is falling slightly among the young, just under 70 of 18 to 29 year olds have had their firstjab, compared to just under 90 of the wider adult population. But the nhs lead at this Pop Up Clinic says young uptake is proportional to the relatively short time theyve been eligible for the vaccine. Im not sure if its really about young people, really. Because actually we still have a lot of people who are older and other sort of vulnerable populations that are still not vaccinated yet. Work continues on finding ways to get more of the population jabbed. These young people at least are now part of that club. Luxmy gopal, Bbc News.

Exactly ten years ago, parts of greater Manchester And Merseyside were taken over by some of the worst rioting for generations. Violence, which started In London a few days earlier, travelled north and took over some of our streets for one scary night in the summer of 2011. Phil mccann returned to two of the worst affected places a decade on. Salford. On the 9th of august, 2011. They destroyed everything. Everything . Everything. They dont keep anything there. Raz� s Computer Repair Shop was looted and then burnt out. He and his pregnant wife had to flee from the Upstairs Flat with their five children. It totally ruined me because there was nothing left for me, so i was homeless and everything, there was no money there. They burned the kids clothes and everything. That was the bad days. Later on the same midsummer� s evening, the violence moved to the centre of manchester. I saw the mob breaking through here. They smashed the windows. City counsellor Pat Carney saw this electrical shop get stripped bare. A shameful mob of hooligans and thugs attacking the place, attacking Shop Workers and attacking the media. At the same time, there was rioting in parts of South Liverpool and in birkenhead. Ten years on, the physical scars of what happened here ten years ago have gone. But what about the community scars that led to the riots, and could they happen again . Are you crazy . Ive just got to get out and get on. Everybody wouldnt go out. They were scared, especially the very elderly. It took an awfully long time to get over it. These people are, more often than not, represented from disadvantaged communities, and actually, the rioting Symbolised Something Else symbolised an underlying resentment about their systematic marginalisation and discrimination. Well, Deprivation And Poverty do play a role in terms of overall criminalisaty, but that wasnt really our of overall criminality, but that wasnt really our experience just from salford. It was about people already well known to us, it was about stealing goods. And one good thing that came out of the riots was the clean up. Why not be out here and actually helping . Some of us actually care about the city and want to make sure it looks good. When you get so many people at such short notice, it shows that its notjust me, its everybody who came out and. This anniversary is for everybody who took to the streets. A lot� s changed over the last ten years, but has enough changed to make sure that scenes like this stay in the past . Phil mccann, bbc northwest tonight. Campaigners fighting to save an alpaca from being put down have marched on Downing Street this afternoon to lobby for a reprieve. The government says geronimo must be culled because hes twice tested positive for bovine tb, which is a risk to cattle. Andrew plant reports. Shes been fighting to keep her alpaca alive for four years. Now geronimos story has started making headlines after the courts ruled he could be put down any time in the next four weeks. How are you feeling about all the Support Youve had . Oh, just immense. Its keeping me going. You know, this is an animal injustice. What are you going to do if people turn up at your gates . Im not going to break the law, but i wont be making it easy. Im not going to be helping them to kill an animal that doesnt need to be killed. Bovine tb is a common issue for uk farmers. Around 40,000 cows are killed after positive tests each year. Helen thinks geronimos tests were flawed and is calling on the government to take another look. I think that this alpaca gives us a chance to put Btb Testing under the microscope in the uk. Weve long been worried about its accuracy, its ability to give false positives and also false negatives as well. The impact goes far beyond alpacas. This has a significant impact for british farming, too. The environment secretary, george eustice, has said geronimos tests were reliable. Downing street also expressed its sympathy, but said everything possible needed to be done to fight bovine tb. No test is absolutely perfect. No test is absolutely 100 sensitive or 100 specific. J so, defra have to work on the big numbers, and they make policy. Based on the big numbers,. And decisions based on those big numbers, whereas, for the individual, of course, youe always hoping that your animal is one of the 1 2 , maybe a little bit more, where theres a false positive result. | a petition to Spare Geronimo has received around 100,000 signatures. A warrant from the courts means officials still have four weeks to put geronimo down. Helen and a team of volunteers say theyll do everything they can to stop that from happening. Andrew plant, Bbc News. A baby thought to be the worlds smallest at birth has been discharged from a Singapore Hospital after 13 months of intensive treatment. Kwek Yu Xuan was just 212 grams thats 7. 47 ounces the weight of an apple when she was born and measured 24 centimetres long. Her mother gave birth to her by Emergency C Section four months ahead of schedule after she was diagnosed with pre eclampsia, dangerously high Blood Pressure that can damage vital organs and be fatal for both mother and baby. Yu xuan now weighs a much healthier 6. 3 kg. 0ur Reporter in singapore, Suranjana Tewari has more. Doctors here in singapore at the national University Hospital where she was born actually said that babies who are born that premature usually have about a 70 survival rate. Now, that is fairly high, but they also expected her to weigh about at least 400 grams. But she weighed just 212 grams. Many of the doctors who were looking after her here said that really put a low chance of survival for her. So, Yu Xuan really surprising doctors with her progress here. Now, when she was first born, she was so small, the doctors really struggled to look after her. Her skin was very sensitive. So, it was very hard to put probes onto her skin in order to monitor her health. Also, the nappies that were available here in singapore were far too large, and it was really important that she had regular nappies, because her skin was so sensitive. Even the medicine that was administered to her had to be calculated down to the decimal point. So it really is some sort of miracle here. The doctors at nuh said that it was a covid 19 miracle because she was born in the middle of the pandemic, and that her progress really gave a ray of hope amidst all the darkness that there has been in the last year or so.

Now its time for a look at the weather with darren. Hello there. It looks like the weather is going to calm down a bit for tomorrow with drier, sunnier weather on the way for more of the country. Theres been quite a number of heavy, Thundery Donwpours today, and a lot of thunderstorms actually across central areas of scotland through much of the day. We didnt do too bad, though, across the north of england and into parts of yorkshire, as well, with some sunshine. But there are still some heavy showers around at the moment. Theyll continue through the evening, gradually tending to fade away overnight, but we could still keep some showers going overnight, even into parts of Northern England for example. Some clear spells developing, temperatures remaining in double figures overnight, typically 12 13 degrees in towns and cities. Any overnight showers first thing will tend to move away. We could see one or two showers breaking out in wales and again across some Eastern Parts of england, but most of the showers will be in scotland. But this time, further north, so it should be a drier day in central and southern scotland. We may see more cloud coming into Northern Ireland, but otherwise more in the way of sunshine, the winds will be light on tuesday and it will be warmer. Temperatures getting up to 22 23 degrees, a bit more like it for this time of the year. Now, we briefly get this drier weather, i think, in many places on tuesday with slightly higher pressure, but if we look out in the atlantic, this is whats coming our way. Weve got a Weather Front coming in from the west. That will bring Cloud And Rain into Northern Ireland, into scotland, particularly Western Scotla nd. Ahead of that, though, we could see a few showers breaking out to wales and western parts of england. Midlands, eastern england probably dry with some sunshine, and with a southerly breeze, itll be a bit warmer still, 24 25 degrees. For scotland and Northern Ireland, though, cooler with that wetter weather around. The rain does clear away from these areas during the night, and that Weather Front just pushes its way into england and wales for thursday. But there wont be much rain on it at all. In fact, weve probably got a band of cloud, a bit of patchy rain stuck from the South West of england through wales, towards lincolnshire, parts of yorkshire. North of that, its cooler air, some sunshine, the winds picking up in scotland and Northern Ireland with some showers in the North West later on. So, temperatures a bit lower for these areas, but ahead of whats left of any rain on that Weather Front in East Anglia and the South East of england, were still in the warm air, so temperatures could reach 26 degrees, the peak of the heat this week. So, its a bit warmer this week, and with low pressure not sitting right over the uk, it wont be as wet as it has been. This is Bbc News. Im reeta chakrabarti. Our Top Stories.
