should any of these individuals ever travel outside russia, we will work with our international partners and take every possible step to detain them, and extradite them to face justice. and thousands more people flee the volcano that's erupted on the spanish island of la palma. good afternoon and welcome to the bbc news. our top story. the prime minister has said the government will do what it can to protect consumers, following a spike in gas prices. speaking in new york, borisjohnson said people will not be short of food this winter. our political editor laura kuenssberg began by asking the pm what his government are doing about what is turning into a real crisis in energy. first of all everybody needs to understand what is going on, this is really being caused, the spikes in hydrocarbon prices in, gas prices are being caused by the world economy waking up after a long period of paralysis, it is unfreezing everywhere and that is causing supply chain problem, it is causing supply chain problem, it is causing spikes in prices, so, a couple of things that obviously where we are working with the companies to make sure that we keep the supplies going, on the carbon dioxide issue that is important for some industries we are taking direct steps to make sure that continues to be available. flan steps to make sure that continues to be available-— be available. can you confirm you will

to do? we will do what we can to protect consumers in this - can to protect consumers in this interim period. iwant can to protect consumers in this interim period. i want to stress it is an interim period and i think what people want to see is the, the medium long—term strategy, and what this really shows, the spike in gas prize prices, is, why the government correct to be going for long—term renewable solution. is a very worrying time. what are you going to do? first of all, i think people should understand the short—term nature of this, the causes of it. it's caused by the global economy coming back to life and we are going to address the various supply chain problems, the spikes in every way that we can. but how? obviously we are talking to the energy companies, doing what we can to keep prices low, to make sure that supermarket shelves are empty. and we have very, very good supply chains in the uk. if i could just finish this, laura. in the long term, i think people want to know what is the way forward? first of all, the market across the world is going to start clearing these problems and they will rectify themselves. but secondly, what it's showing is why it's absolutely right to be investing in wind, to be investing... but also to the putting in nuclear. so if you look at our ten point plan for the green industrial revolution... forgive me, prime minister. i think at the moment people would like to know how they are going to put food on the table in the next few weeks and months, rather than thinking about a long—term ten point plan. on that, laura. if i may, if i may. actually, i don't know quite what you're saying, but i don't believe that people will be short of food. and wages are actually rising now under this government, if that's what you are driving at. but prices are rising... wages are now rising for the first time in decades. that is a great thing. energy bills are rising, food prices are rising, inflation is rising, and very soon also the government is going to remove £20 a week from some families who believe they really cannot afford that. do you really understand the pressure that some people are feeling at home? yes, and that's why we've raised the living wage by the record amount and that's why we are doing everything we can to help people, as we have done throughout this pandemic. and what you are actually seeing is the economy with the fastest growth rate, which the oecd again confirmed this morning, anywhere it is all very well for you to is stand on the top of a sky scrair and say you understand, if you really understood you are also on top of it, and we are here to get the world focus on tackling climate change and one of the things we are doing, is trying to get people to move away from hydrocarbons, to putting in clean green energy sources, on which our country can rely for the generations to come if our country can rely for the generations to come- our country can rely for the generations to come if you really sa ou generations to come if you really say you understand _ generations to come if you really say you understand the - generations to come if you really say you understand the pressure | generations to come if you really i say you understand the pressure on people at home, is there any chance the government might think again on universal credit or is that closed? we think, laura, that the best thing question do is help people into high wage high skilled jobs, that is what is happening a. unemployment is falling very rapidly, jobs are being created and wages are rising, and rather than raising people's taxes to put more money into benefit, we want to see companies paying workers more, that is what they are doing. so that is a no to rethinking the universal credit decision even despite rising pressures indie universal credit decision even despite rising pressures we believe the best way _ despite rising pressures we believe the best way forward _ despite rising pressures we believe the best way forward for _ despite rising pressures we believe the best way forward for the - despite rising pressures we believei the best way forward for the people of our country is a high wage, high skill economy, with controlled immigration, ratherthan skill economy, with controlled immigration, rather than relying on the old approach which was low wages, low skills

have been double vaccinated, things are working very well, and we are also, you know, if you look at the biden white house, would be testify great advantages of working with joe white house, would be testify great advantages of working withjoe biden and his white house, is they are passionately committed to fixing climate change, so watch what the president has to say later on, you know, i haven't seen it yet, but there is a very different mood in washington, about than issue, and thatis washington, about than issue, and that is crucial for the uk and for the rest of the world, as we go forward

things kit do. i mean, this is an energy market in which we see prices going up, now those companies where they are, have gone out of business, or might go out of business, customers there, there is the mechanism under which those customers get transferred to new energy supplier, or the government can work out a stable supply for them, with prices under a cap, but them, with prices under a cap, but the difficulty there is that the level of that cap at the minute is set below the wholesale cost of the gas, so those companies are not wanting to take on extra customers so the government is looking at how it will step in there, the customers should be fine, but if more companies start to go under, and large numbers of people are in that position, that will be a problem for the government, but more serious i think is the slightly more longer term question, which the prime minister was being pressed on there, which is that those rising energy prices at the beginning of next month in october, the level of the price cap will rise, and many, many people may see their energy bills go up, just at the same time, as we will see that extra £20 a week, a thousand a year that has been on universal credit since the outside of the pandemic, that will be withdrawn, so that the two thing also come in tandem and that may well cause some, a real squeeze on household finances so the prime minister, there, was saying they would talk to energy companies about supply, they would talk about the supply, they would talk about the supply for supermarkets and thing, but, that squeeze looks like it is coming down the line.— but, that squeeze looks like it is coming down the line. thank you damian. borisjohnson is in the new york for the united nations general assembly, and later today he'll meet president biden for their first meeting at the white house. they're expected to discuss climate change, and the situation in afghanistan. as we heard, the prime minister said relations with the us were the best they'd been for a very long time, but when it comes to trade, the prime minister has been playing down the prospects of a uk/us deal in the near future. let's speak now to sir david manning, former uk ambassador to the us between 2003 and 2007. thank you very much forjoining us, now, first of all, as we heard there, the prime minister playing down prospects of a deal, he has mentioned how tough us are to negotiate with, what do you think he's likely to be able to get as a result of this? i he's likely to be able to get as a result of this?— result of this? i think it is a clear sign _ result of this? i think it is a clear sign that _ result of this? i think it is a clear sign that he _ result of this? i think it is a clear sign that he isn't - result of this? i think it is a - clear sign that he isn't expecting any early movement on world trade agreement. i don't think that is a great sup prize, free trade agreement is not for the biden team and it has been my personal view although this has been set as one of our objectives post—brexit it is a difficult negotiation, and it may be that in many ways it gets the government off the hook that no early deal is going to be done because there would be some difficult negotiations on things like agricultural issues and access to medical issues, so i am not sure it is a surprise or probably privately a huge disappointment. in a post—brexit world, how much leverage could the uk have in negotiations with the us. indie leverage could the uk have in negotiations with the us. we have to be realistic about _ negotiations with the us. we have to be realistic about our _ negotiations with the us. we have to be realistic about our role, _ negotiations with the us. we have to be realistic about our role, of- be realistic about our role, of course we are important to the us and leverage, the relationship is asymmetric, we are nothing like as important to the us as the us is to us, we have influence where we can be useful and helpful, and have a contribution to make. it clears that biden before he became president didn't want us to leave the eu, he saw us as influential within it, and as a source of influence that was in us interests, he had left, and now as we know the british government is trying to formulate a new position for us in what it calls global britain but we have to be fleet—footed. we have to be deft and we have to prove to the united states as to others that we have a real contribution to make. and. states as to others that we have a real contribution to make. and, the prime minister _ real contribution to make. and, the prime minister has _ real contribution to make. and, the prime minister has said _ real contribution to make. and, the prime minister has said he - real contribution to make. and, the prime minister has said he wants i prime minister has said he wants further commitments when it comes to climate change, from the us, how realistic is tip there will be some movement on that, that we can actually expect that from biden? well, from what i am heard today it sounds hopeful. i have no inside knowledge ant this, and clearly, a big gesture from the united states at this point, particularly against the backdrop notjust the prime minister's visit, but of the un general assembly, to climate change to make some real new effort would be great. the cop26 meeting we are having in glasgow, hosted by britain in about five or six weeks' time, is an crucial negotiation on the future of climate change and certainly, if president biden came in strongly, with some contribution, that would be immensely helpful, be very good for our bilateral relationship but it would be very good for the whole climate change effort generally. find climate change effort generally. and in our climate change effort generally. and in your view. — climate change effort generally. and in your view, how much of a difference does it make in terms

johnson are? well, we have had all sorts of different presidents - johnson are? well, we have had all sorts of different presidents and i sorts of different presidents and prime ministers during the course of what is known as the special relationship, of course it matters what personal relations are like at the top, but it has never been wholly dependent on them, there are objective national interests, good reasons why we are close to the united states, whatever the chemistry at the top, so, yes, you want the best relationship you can have, but there are real reasons why are close to the us you which transcend that. 5ir are close to the us you which transcend that.— are close to the us you which transcend that. ,, ., transcend that. sir david manning, thank ou transcend that. sir

listen to what he's been saying. iam here i am here to sound the alarm. the wold must wake up. we are on the edge of an abyss and moving in the wrong direction. our world has never been more threatened or more divided. we face the greatest cascade of crisis in our lifetimes. the covid—i9 pandemic has supersized the glaring inequality, the climate change is pummelling the planet. upheaval from afghanistan to yemen and beyond has thwarted peace. a surge of mistrust is polarising people and perlose hissing society. human rights are underfire people and perlose hissing society. human rights are under fire and science is under assault. the economic lifelines for the most vulnerable are coming too little and too late, if they come at all. solidarity is missing in actionjust when we need it most. perhaps when. imagine tells the tale of our time, the picture we have seen from some part of the world of covid vaccines in the garbage, expired and unused. on the one hand we see the vaccines develop in record time, a victory of science and human ingenuity, on the other hand we see their triumph end down because of the lack of political will, self fishness and mistrust, a surplus in some countries, empty shelves in others. a majority of the world vaccinated, over 90% of africans still waits for the first dose. . this is a moral indict o the state of our world, it is an obscenity. we pass the science test but we are getting an f in ethics. excellencies, the alarm bells are ringing at fever pitch. the recent report of the inter—governmental panel on climate change was a code red for humanity. we see the warning signs in every continent and region. score scorching temperatures, shocking biodiversity loss. polluted war and air in natural spaces and climate related disasters at every turn. as we saw recently, not even this city, the financial capital to world, is immune. climate scientists tell us it is not too late to keep alive the la 5 degree goal of the paris agreement but the window is rapidly closing. we need 45% cut in emission by 2030. yet, a cent un report made clear that with present national climate commitments, emission also go climate commitments, emission also 9° up climate commitments, emission also go up by i6%, by 2030. that would condemn us to temperature rises of at least 2.7 degrees above preindustrial levels. a catastrophe. meanwhile, the oecd reported the gap of at least $20 billion us in essential and promised finance to the developing country, we are weeks away from un climate conference in glasgow, but seemingly light years away from reaching our targets. we must get serious and we must act fast. excellencies, covid and the climate change have exposed profound from a gill us the of society and as a planet. instead of hue mill any the face of these epic challenges we see hubris, instead of the passive solidarity, we are on a dead end to destruction, at the same time, another disease is spreading in our world today, a melody of mistrust —— mad diof flis. when people see progress denied by the reality of their harsh daily lives, when they see their rights and freedoms curtailed, when they see petty as well as grand corruption round them, when they see billionaires joyriding into space, while millions go hungry on earth, when parents see a future for their children that looks even bleaker than the struggles of today, and when young people see no future at all, the people we serve and represent may lose face not only in their government and institutions, but in the values that emanated the work of the un for over 75 year, peace, human right, dignity for all, peace, human right, dignity forall, equality, peace, human right, dignity for all, equality, justice, solidarity. peace, human right, dignity forall, equality, justice, solidarity. like never before, core values are in the cross hairs, a break down in trust is leading to a break down in values. promises after all are worth less if people do not see results in their daily lives. failure to deliver created space for some of the darkest impulses of humanity. it provides oxygen for easy fixes, solutions and conspiracy theories. it is stop grievance, ideological dominance, violent misogyny, the targeting of the most vulnerable including refugees and migrants. excellencies we face a moment of truth. now is the time to deliver. now is the time to restore trust, and now is the time to inspire hope. and i do have hope. the problems we have created are problems we can solve, humanity has shown we are capable of great thing whence we work together and that is the raison d'etre of the un, but let us be frank, today's mental health system is too limited, in relation to what is too limited, in relation to what is needed for effective governance of public goods, it is too fixed on the short—term, we need to strengthen global governance, we need to focus on the future for we need to focus on the future for we need to focus on the future for we need to renew the social contract and we need to ensure a united nations fit for a new era. that is why i presented my report on our common agenda in the way i did. it provides 365 degree analysis of the state the world, with 90 specific recommendations that take on the challenges of today, and strengthen mental healthism for tomorrow. —— multi hat richly for tomorrow. the 2030 agenda for sustainable development and the paris climate agreement. it is in line with the mandate i was given by the un 75 declaration to seek a pathway to a better world. declaration to seek a pathway to a betterworld. but declaration to seek a pathway to a better world. but to reach that land of our promise, we must bridge great divides. excellencies is, isee of our promise, we must bridge

grand canyonsj that we must bridge now. first we must bridge the peace divide, far too many round the world peace and stability remain a distant dream. in afghanistan, where we must boost humanitarian assistance and defend humanitarian assistance and defend human rights especially of women and girls, in ethiopia, where... ensuring, and create the conditions for the start of an ethopian led political dialogue, in myanmar, where we reaffirm unwavering support to the people in their pursuit of democracy, peace, human rights and the rule of law. in the sewell where we are committed to mobilising international assistance for regional security development and governance, in places such as yemen, libya and syria, where we must overcome steal mates and push for peace. in israel and palestine, where we are urge leaders to resume a meaningful dialogue recognising the two—state solution as the only way to a comprehensive peace. in highty and so many other places left behind, where standing solidarity throughout every step of crisis. excellencies we are seeing an explosion in seizures of power by force, military coups are back. and the lack of unity among the international community does not help. geopolitical divisions are undermining international cooperation, and limiting the capacity of the security council to take the necessary decisions. a sense of immunity is taking hold. and at the same time, it will been impossible to add dress the economic and developed challenges, while the world's two largest economies are at odds with each other. yet, i fear our world is creeping towards two different sets of economic, trade financial and technological rule, two approaches in the development of ai and ultimately, the risk of two different military and geopolitical strategies, and this is a recipe for trouble. it would be far less predictable than the cold war. to restore trust and aspire hope we need cooperation, we need dialogue and understanding, we need to invest in prevention, peace build, we need progress on nuclear disarmament and in our shared efforts to counter—terrorism. we need action, anchored in respect for human rights and we need a new comprehensive agenda for peace. excellencies, second we must bridge the climate divide. this requires are bridging trust, between north and south. it starts be by doing all we can to create the conditions for success in glasgow. we need more ambition from all country, in three key area, mitigation, finance, and adaptation. more ambition on mitigation. to condots dots that will get us there, backed up with credible actions now. more ambition on finance, means developing nations, developing macings finally seeing the promise, fully mobilising the resources of most international financial institution and the private sector too. and more ambition on adaptation means developing countries leading up means developing countries leading up to their promise of credible support to developing countries to build resilience to save lives and livelihoods and this means 50% of all climate finance provided by country and banks should be dedicated to adaptation. the african development banks set the bar in 2019, by allocating climate finance to adaptation. some other countries have followed their lead, all must do so. my message to every member state is this. don't wait for others to make the first move. do your part. around the world we see civil society led by young people fully mobilised to tackle the climate change. the private sector is stepping up, governments must also summon the full force of their royal couege summon the full force of their royal college of physiciansical policy making hours to make the shift to green economies. by taxing carbon and pollution instead of people's income, to more easily make switch to sustainable green job, by adding subsidies to fossil fuels and to invest back in to education, renewable energy, and social protection for people. by committing to no new coal plans, if all planned coal powerplans become operational we will not only be clearly above 1.5 degree, we will be well above 2 degrees and the paris target also go up degrees and the paris target also go up in smoke. this is a planty emergency, we need coalitions of solidarity, coun they —— we have the opportunity and the obligation to act. -- we have the opportunity and

vaccine production and ensure that vaccines reach 70% of the world's population in the first half of 2022. this plan could be implemented by emergency task force made up of present and potential vaccine producer, the world health organization, accelerated partners and internationalfinancial and international financial institution, working and internationalfinancial institution, working with pharmaceutical companies. we have non—time to lose. a lob sided recovery is happening in equalities the. richer countries could reach prepandemic growth rates by the end of the year while the impacts may last for years in low income country, is it any wonder advanced economy are investing gdp into recovery. that number falls to 6.5%. and it plummets to 1.8 for the least developed countries, a tiny percentage of the a smaller amount. in sub—saharan africa the international monetary fund protects that community economic gross per capita over the next five years will be 75% less than the rest of the world. many countries need an urgent injection of liquidity. i welcome 650 billion us in special drawing rights by the international monetary fund. but it is largely going to the countries that need them least. advanced economies should relocate their sur cyprus sdrs to countries in need. szrs are not a silver bullet but they provide space for sustainable recovery and growth. i renew also my call, for arrow formed and equitable international architecture, that that service must be extended to 2022 and should be available to highly adapted middle—income countries, this would be solidarity in action, countries shouldn't have to choose between servicing that, and serving people. with effective international solidarity, it would be possible at the national level to use social contact that includes housing and decent work, quality education for all, and an meant to disconnection and violence against women and girls. i call on countries to and money laundering and illicit financial flows. money laundering and illicit financialflows. as money laundering and illicit financial flows. as we look ahead, we need a better system of prevention and preparedness. we must support the recommendations of the panel for per pandemic preparedness and response. i have put forward a number of other proposals in a common agenda, including an emergency platform for the futures lab. . �* ,

american correspondent. we just want to pause to bring you some breaking news now. connected to the energy crisis, which we have been covering. the uk government has done a deal with cf industrie. a us based company that has a plan in cheshire. cf industries produces co2, and the uk government has struck a deal to restart their production of co2 at their two plants in the uk. you may remember that they ceased production of it as a result of the price of global gas prices going up. we do not know yet what the subsidies or incentives are, but the government may have offered cf industries... but it is understood that the deal has been drafted so that other companies who also stopped production as a result of the high prices won't actually be able to ask the government for similar help. it could take as long as three days for plans to start producing co2 again stop and cf industries produces a 60% of the uk's food grade co2. to recap, the government has done a deal with cf industries to restart production of co2. a third man has been accused over the salisbury nerve agent poisonings of sergei skripal and his daughter. the crown prosecution service has authorised charges against a russian intelligence officer, denis sergeev. and, for the first time, british police have formally said they believe all three suspects were part of a team from the gru, russian military intelligence. meanwhile, the european court of human rights has ruled that russia was also responsible for the killing of alexander litvinenko — a former spy who died of polonium poisoning in london in 2006. gordon corera reports. it was march, 2018 when deadly nerve agent was deployed on the streets of salisbury. the target, former russian spy sergei skripal fell ill along with his daughter and a police officer after novichok was smeared on his door handle. a local woman, dawn sturgess, died months later when she came into contact with the novichok in a perfume bottle. now a third suspect has been charged — this man, denis sergeev, said to be a member of russian military intelligence. police have released this image of him arriving at heathrow two days before the poisoning. the other two suspects arrived on a different flight and were captured on cctv heading to salisbury and in the town. sergeev stayed in london, but police believe the three met on multiple occasions and he is thought to have been be on the ground commander. he left on the day of the attack from heathrow. the kremlin has consistently denied any involvement. they've got a doctrine of masking, denying everything and then throwing blame bombs out to other people and they will continue to do that. there is always a hope that if there is a change of government in russia at some stage that they will comply with the more rules—based approach of the rest of the free world. sergeev is believed to be a member of the gru, russian military intelligence, and a unit involved in sabotage and assassination across europe. the unit was involved in this explosion at an arms depot in the czech countryside in 2014 and the poisoning in bulgaria of an arms dealer in 2015, again using a deadly nerve agent, with sergeev alleged to be present on the ground. since salisbury, security services across europe have been tracking the past movements of the unit and trying to expose the work of the unit. this whole unit that i think, for decades, they have spent creating and polishing security algorithms and training people for this clandestine unit. they will have to scrap it and start from scratch, train new people, look for alternative methods. and in a separate development, russia has been accused today by the european court of human rights has been responsible for the killing of alexander litvinenko. that was carried out back in 2006 using radioactive polonium but russia has denied all these accusations. gordon corera, bbc news. the home secretary, priti patel, told mps this afternoon that the government will respond "extremely robustly" to what she called the "enduring and significant" threat from the russian state. she said that includes working to arrest the three men now suspected of involvement in the salisbury attack. all three individuals previously worked together for the gru as part of additional operations outside of russia. all three men are now wanted by uk police. arrest warrants are in place for all three. the police have applied for an interpol notice against federov, mirroring those already if place against the other two suspects. russia has repeatedly refused to allow its nationals to stand trial overseas. this was also the case following the murder of alexander litvinenko, when a uk extradition request was refused. this has only added to the heartache of those hurt by these attacks, and mr speaker, inevitably further damaged our relations with russia. as was made clear in 2018, should any of these individuals ever travel outside russia, we will work with our international partners and take every possible step to detain the them and extradite them to face justice. we've just got some breaking news about harry dunn. the family of harry dunn and the us suspect have reached a resolution in a civil claim for damages filed in virginia. just to give you some background, harry dunn, who is 19, was killed when his motorbike was killed by a car driven by anne nicholas, a us citizen, in 2019. it is alleged that her car struck his motorbike just after she left where she was going in northamptonshire back in 2019 where her husband jonathan was working for a us intelligence agency. she was charged in the uk with causing death by dangerous driving, but an extradition request submitted by the home office was rejected by the us state department. harry dunn's family was pursuing a claim against her. he breaking news, a resolution has been reached and that civil claim for damages. let's return to the news that the uk government has struck a deal with

scotland's first minister, nicola sturgeon, has been speaking in the scottish parliament this afternoon about the fight against covid—19 — she says cases have continued to decline, but urged caution as winter approaches. last week, i indicated we were seeing early signs that the number of new cases might be starting to fall. i'm glad to say i am even more confident about that now. the early signs i spoke about last week have become much firmer over the past seven day — members will recall that in the week to 28th august new cases increased by more than 80%, in the week after that, the rate of increase slowed to 11%, and last week we were able to report that cases had fallen by 12% over the previous seven days. in the most recent week, which is up to the 18th september, new cases fell further, by 31%. that is, of course, a very encouraging trend, in addition, and in contrast to previous weeks, the fall in cases is spread across all age group, with declines of more than 10% in every age group. our scotland correspondent, lorna gordon, joins us now. in terms of the approach to winter, what is the sense of urgency facing nicola sturgeon?— what is the sense of urgency facing nicola

for treatment in england — with one area having an average time of eight months between being referred and their first counselling session. a bbc investigation has found that a fifth of patients waited longer than 12 weeks. our health correspondent, sophie hutchinson, has been meeting some of the parents who are desperate to get help for their children. her report contains some details which you may find upsetting. that feeling of helplessness. i can't even describe how awful, as a parent, is to see that. you're waiting for a service that you know could help your child. the desperate situation facing some parents with a mentally ill child. when things get tough, this is where sue comes — her teenage daughter, who has self—harmed, has been waiting for mental—health treatment for almost two and a half years. we don't know how long it's going to be before she receives help, but when she does receive that help, you know, we don't know now how she's going to engage with that because of the wait. and, as i say, you know, i do wonder if, as a result of those delays, you know, she might end up needing medication because the anxiety is now so high. it's estimated, in england, 1.5 million under—18—year—olds have a probable mental health disorder. but in the year to 2021, the child and adolescent mental health service — camhs — sawjust under a third of them. and data obtained by the bbc from half of camhs�* services in england suggests, since the pandemic, one in five have waited longer than 12 weeks — and in one area, the average wait was nearly nine months. your teachers here really, really care about you, and... some teachers are so concerned they're telling parents not to bother with camhs. the additional support for mental health is completely overwhelmed as things stand currently. when i have parents that are in a really desperate situation, i'm often reluctant to refer them on to these services because i know the length of time that they will wait. and sometimes there just isn't that opportunity to wait — you need that support right there, right then to try and help the child and the family. sandra — not her real name. her 16—year—old daughter has waited three years for treatment, despite attempting suicide 17 times. you get told to call the crisis team, who are never there in times of crisis because you can only have a crisis between 8am and 6pm. and then you get referred to adult services who just say "ring an ambulance". the government says, due to the pandemic, nhs staff are now treating more children and young people than ever before. and that, thanks to the nhs long term plan, an additional 345,000 children and young people each year will get help. she can't imagine living her life feeling the way that she does. and so the consequence of having to wait this long is that it's done an awful lot of psychiatric damage to her, really. how painful is that to you? it's devastating. voice breaking: she is so talented. she's amazing at art and music. she's really creative. but when you are constantly trying to just keep your daughter alive another day, to hope that someone will give her some therapy... sorry. after five suicide attempts this summer, sandra's daughter was eventually referred for the therapy she needs. and sue's daughter — who's waited since october 2018 — has now been given an appointment. sophie hutchinson, bbc news. and if you've been affected by these issues, you can go to bbc.co.uk/actionline for details of organisations offering information and support — or you can call forfree, at any

could trigger toxic gases and explosions when they reach the sea. the volcano began erupting on sunday, shooting lava hundreds of metres into the air, engulfing forests and destroying scores of homes on the island, the most northwestern of the canaries. danjohnson sent this update from la palma. well, this is the latest phase of the evacuation effort under way. people are loading up as much as they can as quickly as possible because they've been told to leave, so residents have been given a limited timejust to grab what they can to pack it up, and to get out, to go to a place of safety. they'll be taken to emergency shelters and they've been warned that they may not be able to come back here. you can see just how close the flames are and how big the risk is to these properties, and being here forjust a couple of minutes you realise how dangerous it is. there is ash settling on my shoulders, you can feel it in the air, and all the time the volcano is rumbling, thunderously, in the background. all of these houses are likely to be destroyed but even any that survive could be dangerous for a long time to come. that was dan johnson. a bbc documentary has shed new light on what the duke of edinburgh was like as a father and grandfather. all of the duke's children and grandchildren took part in the programme, to be broadcast tomorrow on bbc one. they portray prince philip as firm — but with a fondness for practicaljokes — as our royal correspondent nicholas witchell reports. as well as assisting - the queen, he has a separate and independentjob of his own. he ran his public life from this office in buckingham palace. he loved the latest technology. and, of course, he was famously forthright. he would always make everyone very clear where you stand. i think people find that refreshing, that they know that there's nothing else going on or there's no games played. he's very upfront. he's very honest and he's very matter of fact. and he brought that same no—nonsense approach to most things, even to the royal family's barbecues, at which, inevitably, he took charge. he adored barbecuing. and he turned that into an interesting art form. and if i ever tried to do it, i could never get the fire to light, or something ghastly. so he'd say, "go away!" and the barbecues were the perfect place for practicaljokes. one of the games he used to enjoy playing was, when we used to go for family barbecues, instead of like a mustard pot, we had a mustard tube, a squeezy mustard tube. and he used to take the lid off and put it in your hands. he gets you to hold it. gets you to hold it in your hands and the lid's off. i and i can't remember exactly what he says, but he ends up slamming your hands together. and then he'd squish your hands together to fire the mustard onto the ceiling. it went all over the ceiling. he used to get in a lot of trouble from my grandmother for covering most of the places we had lunch and things with mustard on the ceiling. i actually think the marks are still there. yeah, i think so. you know, he enjoyed those jokes. he enjoyed messing around with the children and kind of being a grandfather. the duke of edinburgh, fondly remembered by his family. nicholas witchell, bbc news. the winner of the museum of the year will be announced tonight, a prize which celebrates the uk's best museums and galleries. this year's finalists include experience barnsley, firstsite in colchester and thackray museum of medicine in leeds. the art fund, which runs the prize, says the entries reflect the resilience and imagination of museums throughout the pandemic. the announcement will be made during a special programme on the bbc news channel tonight at 7:15pm. coming up — us president biden will address the un general assembly. brazil's president bolsonario is speaking at the moment. mr biden will follow him and we'll bring you that speech when it starts. now it's time for a look at the weather with ben rich. good afternoon. the days of september are passing by. the nights are drawing in. in certain ways, it is feeling a bit autumnal. but as far as the weather goes, there's still some warmth in the forecast for the next few days, especially across the south of the uk. further north, a little bit of rain, not an awful lot, but it will be windy and briefly a bit cooler. on the earlier satellite picture, you can see a lot of cloud piling in from the west, but much of this is just wispy, high cloud turning the sunshine quite hazy through the rest of the day. northern ireland and western scotland will see thicker cloud. the odd spot of rain in the western highlands. pretty windy in the far north as well. those are the steady wind speeds, the average wind speeds. the gusts could get to around 50 mph in exposed places in the far north. but temperatures in eastern scotland, up to 21 or 22 celsius. similar values for parts of wales, central and southern england. through this evening and tonight, we will keep this cloud filtering in across parts of scotland, northern ireland, some rain into the far north—west, stays windy here as well. but further south, where we keep clear skies, it will actually be quite a chilly night with lows of seven, eight or nine celsius, and just the odd mist patch to take us into tomorrow morning. for england and wales tomorrow, we can expect some sunny spells, but a bit more cloud than we have had today, and the odd spot of drizzle for north west england. quite windy for north east england, and certainly quite a blustery day for northern ireland and scotland where we will have this band of cloud and patchy rain sinking southwards. brighter skies and a few showers into the far north where it will be turning quite a lot cooler. further south, highs of 22 celsius. through wednesday night into thursday, this first frontal system sinks southwards and weakens. not much more than a band of cloud, but we will see an area of low pressure, a frontal system passing close to the north of scotland, some rain, some brisk winds, and briefly this tongue of cold air working in across the far north. so we will keep cloud and some patchy rain across the northern half of the uk on thursday. further south, some spells of sunshine, but whereas we will see temperatures of 22 celsius in london, 21 in norwich, aberdeen will only get to 1a, and in lerwick, a high ofjust 11 celsius. but that brief chilly spell will not last long, because as we head into the weekend, the winds will start to come up from the south, and that will feed some warmer air across pretty much all parts of the uk. a lot of dry weather, just the odd spot of rain at times, but temperatures in the high teens or low 20s. this is bbc news. the headlines. action on the energy crisis — the government strikes a deal with a fertiliser firm to restart production in an effort to maintain supply of carbon dioxide and ease fears of food shortages. the un secretary general antonio guterres issues a warning over the future handling of the pandemic. here to sound the alarm. the world must wake up. we are on the edge of an abyss and moving in the wrong direction. this is the scene live in new york where president biden is about to speak to the un about climate change. a third man faces charges over the salisbury poisonings. the home secretary pledges 'robust action' against the russian intelligence hit squad that tried to kill sergei skripal and his daughter. should any of these individuals ever travel outside russia, we will work with our international partners and take every possible step to detain them, and extradite them to face justice. let's cross now to new york where president biden is speaking to the un about climate change it is my honour to speak to you for the first time as president of the united states. we meet this year in a moment of intermingled with great pain and extraordinary possibility. we have lost so much of this devastating pandemic that continues to claim lives round the world and impact so much on our existence. we are mourning more than 4.5 million people. people of every nation, from every background. each death is an individual heartbreak. but our shared grief is a.nan reminder that our collective future will hinge on our collective future will hinge on our ability to recognise or common humanity and to act together. ladies and gentlemen, this is the clear and urgent choice that we face here, at the dawning of what must be a decisive decade for our world. a decade that will literally determine our futures. decade that will literally determine ourfutures. as decade that will literally determine our futures. as a decade that will literally determine ourfutures. as a global community, we are challenged by urgent and looming crises, where in lie enormous opportunities if we can summon the will and resolve and seize these opportunities. will we work together, to save lives, defeat covid, everywhere, and take the necessary steps to prepare ourselves for the next pandemic, for there will be another one. or will we fail to harness the tools at our disposal, as the more virulent and dangerous variants take hold? will we meet the threat of challenging climate, the challenging climate we are all feeling and already ravaging every part of our world, with extreme weather. ? orwill we every part of our world, with extreme weather. ? or will we suffer the merciless march of ever worsening droughts and floods, intense fires and hurt a cairns longer heat waves and rising seas? will we affirm and up hold the human dignity and human rights under which nations and common cause more than seven decades ago formed this institution? will we apply and strengthen the core tenets of the international system, including the un charter, and the universal declaration of human rights as we seek to shape the emergence of new technologies and deter new threats? or will we allow these universal principles to be trampled and twisted in the pursuit of naked political power? in my view how we answer these questions, in this moment, whether we choose to fight for our shared future or not, will reverberate for generations yet to come. simply put, we stand in my view at a point in history. and i am here today to share with you how the united states intends to work with partners and allies, to answer these questions. and the commitment of my new administration help lead the world towards a more peaceful prosperous future for all people. instead of continuing to fight the wars of the past, we are fixing our eyes on devoting our resources to the challenges, that hold the keys to our collective future. ending this pandemic, addressing the climate change, managing the shifts in global power dynamics, shaping the roles of the world on vital issues like trade, cyber, and emerging technologies. and facing the threat of terrorism as it stands today. we have ended 20 years of conflict in afghanistan, and as we close this period of relentless war, we are opening a new era of diplomacy, of using the power of our development aid, to invest in if ways of lifting people up around the world. of renewing and defending the democracy, approving that no matter how challenge organise complex the problems we are going to face, government by and for the people is still the best way to deliver for all of our people. as the us turns or focus to the priorities, and the regions of the world, like indo pacific that are more consequential today and tomorrow, will do so with our allies and partner, through cooperation and million lateral institutions like the us united nations to amplify our collective strength and speed, our progress towards dealing with the the global challenges. the fund. mental truth of the 21st century, with each of our countries, and as a global community, that our own success is bound up in others succeeding as well. to deliver for our own people we must engage deeply with the rest of the world, to ensure our future we must work together with other partners, our partners towards a shared future. our security, partners towards a shared future. oursecurity, our partners towards a shared future. our security, our prosperity, and euro—very freedoms are interconnected in my view, as never before, and so, i believe we must work together as never before. over the last eight months, i prioritise rebuilding our alliances, revitalising our partnership, and recognising they are essential and central to america's enduring security and prosperity. we have reaffirmed our sacred nato alliance to article five commitment. we are working with our allies, toward a new strategic concept, that will help our alliance better take on evolving threats of today and tomorrow. we renewed our gaugement with the european union, a fundamental partner in tackling a fulling range of significant issues facing our world today. we elevated the quad

are running to retake a seat in... as the us seeks to rally the work action we will lead notjust in the example of our power but with the example of our power but with the power of our example. make no mistake, the united states will continue to defend ourself, our allies and interest against attack, including terrorist threats, as we prepare to use force if any is necessary, but to defend our vital us national interest, including against ongoing and imminent threat, but the mission must be clear and achievable. undertaken with informed concept of the american people, and whenever possible,

indeed, today, many of our greatest concerns cannot be sol evidence or everyone addressed through the force of arms. bombs and bullets cannot defend against covid, or its future variants. to fight this pandemic we need a collective act of science, and political will. we need to act now, to get shots in arms as fast as possible. and expand access to oxygen, test, treatments, to save lives round the world. and for the future, we need to create a new mechanism, to finance global health security, that builds on our existing development assistance, and global health, and a global health threat council. that is armed with the tools we need, to on for and identify merging pandemic, —— monitor, so we can take immediate action. already, the united states has put more than $15 billion toward global covid response, a global covid response. we have shipped more than 160 million dose dose of covid—19 vaccine to other countries, this includes 130 million doses from our own supply, and the first tranches of the half a billion doses of pfizer vaccine we purchased to donate through covax, planes, carrying vaccines from the united states have already landed in 100 country, bringing people all over the world a little dose of hope as one american nurse termed it to me. a dose of hope. directing the american —— direct from the american people and importantly no strings attached, and tomorrow, at the us hosted global 19 covid—19 summit, i will be announcing additional commitments as we seek to advance the fight against covid—19, and hold ourselves accountable round specific target, and three key challenges. saving lives now, vaccinating the world, and building back better. this year has also brought widespread death and devastation from the borderless climate crisis. the extreme weather events that we have seen in every part of the world and you all know it and feel it. represent with the secretary—general has light —— rightly called code red for humanity. and the scientists and experts are telling us that we are fast approaching the appoint of no return in the literal sense. to keep within our reach the vital goal of limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees. every nation needs bring their highest possible ambition to the table when we meet in glasgow for cop26. and then, to have to keep raising our collective ambition over time. in april, i announced the united states ambitious new goal under the paris agreement, to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from the united states, by 50-52% emissions from the united states, by 50—52% below emissions from the united states, by 50-52% below 2005 emissions from the united states, by 50—52% below 2005 levels by 2030s as we work towards achieving the clean energy economy with net zero emissions by 2050. my administration is working closely with our congress, to make critical investment in green infrastructure and electric vehicles, will help us lock in progress at home, towards our climate goals. and the best part is, making these ambitious investments isn'tjust good climate policy it's a chance for each of our countries to invest in ourselves, in our own future r it is an enormous opportunity to create good paying jobs, for workers in each of the country, and to spur long—term economic growth and improve the quality of life for all of our people. we alsos have to support the countries and people that will be hit the hardest, and that have the fewest resources to help them adapt. in april i announced the us will double our public international financing, to help developing nations tackle the climate change and today i am proud to announce we will work the congress to double that number again, including for adaptation efforts. this will make the us a leader in public climate finance and with our added support together with increase private capital from together with increase private capitalfrom or don nors we together with increase private capital from or don nors we will be able to meet the goal of mobilising $100 billion, to support climate action in developing nations. —— donors. as we deal with these crises, we are encountering a new era, an era of new technologies and possibility, that have to pen shall to release and —— potential to release and reshape every aspect of human exist tarns it is up to all of us to determine whether these technologies are a force to empower people, or to deepen repression. as new technologies continue to evolve, we will work together with our democratic partners to ensure that new advances in areas from biotechnology to quantum compute, 5g ai and more are used to lift people up, to solve problems, and advance human freedom. not to suppress dissent or target minority communities. the us intends to make a profound investment in research and innovation, working with countries at all stages of economic development to develop new tools and technologies, to help us tackle the challenge of this second quarter of the 21st century and beyond. hardening our critical infrastructure against cyber attack, disruptsing ransomware networks and working to establish clear rules of the road, for all nations, as it relates to cyberspace. we will resolve the right to respond to cyber attacks that threaten our people, ourally, our interests. cyber attacks that threaten our people, our ally, our interests. we will pursue new rules of global trade and economic growth, to strive strive to level the playing field so it is not artificially tipped in favour of any one country at the expense of other, and every nation has a right and opportunity to compete fairly. we will strive to ensure the basic labour right, environmental safeguards and intellectual property are protects and the benefits of globalisation, are shared broadly throughout all our societies. we will continue to up our societies. we will continue to up hold the long—standing rules and norms and inform the guard rails of international engagement for decades, that have been essential to the development of nations round the world. world. bedrock commitment like freedom navigation and here to international laws and treaty, support for arms control measures to reduce the risk and enhance transparency. our approach is firmly grounded and fully consistent with the un mission and the values we have agreed to, when we drafted this charter. these are commitments we all made, and that we are all bound to up hold. as we strive to deal with these urgent challenges, whether they are long—standing or newly emerging, we must also deal with one another. all the major pugh others the world have a duty —— powers of the world have a duty to carefully manage their relationships so we do not tip from responsible competition, to conflict. un will compete and will comet o vigorously, and lead with our values and strength, 0 —— compete. we will stand up for strength, 0 —— compete. we will stand upfor our strength, 0 —— compete. we will stand up for our allies and friend and oppose attempts by stronger countries to dominate weaker ones, whether through changes to territory by force, economic coercion, technical exploitation or disinformation but we are not seek, say it again, we are not seeking a new cold war, or a world divided into rigid blockst new cold war, or a world divided into rigid blocks t united states is ready to work with any nation that steps up and pursues peaceful resolution to share challenge, everyone if we have intense disagreements in other areas, because we will all suffer the consequence of our failure, if we do not come together to address the urgent threats like covid—19 and climate change, or enduring threats like nuclear proliferation. us remains commitment to preventing iran from remains commitment to preventing iranfrom gaining remains commitment to preventing iran from gaining nuclear weapons. we are working with the p5 plus one to engage dipically and seek a return tojcpoa. we are prepared to return tojcpoa. we are prepared to return tojcpoa. we are prepared to return to full compliance if iran does the same. similarly, we seek serious and sustained diplomacy to pursue the complete denuclearisation of the korean peninsula, we see concrete progress towards an available plan with tangible commitments that would increase stability on the peninsula and in the region. as well as improve the lives of the people in the democratic people's republic of korea. we must remain vigilant to the threat of terrorism, where emanating from distant regions of the world, or in our own backyard. we know the birth string of terrorism. the bitter sting of terrorism. the bitter sting of terrorism is real. we have almost all experienced it. last month, we lost 13 american heroes and almost 200 innocent afghanistan civilians in a heinous terrorist attack at kabul airport. those who commit acts of terrorism against us will continue to find a determined enemy in the united states. the world of todayis in the united states. the world of today is not the world of 2001. the us is not the same country we we are when we were attacked on 9/1120 years ago. today, we are better equipped to detect and o prevent terrorist threats and we are for resill uppity in our aren't to repel them and to respond. we know how to build effective partnerships to dismantle terrorist networkings by targeting their finance and support system, countering their propaganda, preventing their travel as well as disrupting imminent attacks a. we will meterries threats that arise today and the future, a full range of tools available to us. including work, in cooperation with local partners so we need not be so reliant on large—scale mitt trixxxx military deployments. most important way we can effectively enhance security and reduce violence, is by seeking to improve the lives of the people all over the world. who see that their governments are not serving their needs. corruption. fuels inequality. siphons off a nation's resource, spreads across borders, and generates human suffering. there is nothing less than a national security threat in the 21st century. around the world, we are seeing citizens demonstrate their discontent, seeing the wealthy well—connected grow richer, they taking pay offs and bribe, operating above the law while the vast majority of the people struggle to find a job or put food on the table. or to get their businesses off the ground. orsimply send or to get their businesses off the ground. or simply send their children to school. people have take to be the streets in every region to demand their governments add greemszs�* basic needs, give everyone a fair shot to succeed and protect their good given rights, and in that chorus of voices across languages and continue innocents we hear a common cry. a cry for dignity, simple dignity. as leaders it is our duty to answer that call. not to silence it. the united states is committed to using our resources and our international platform to support these voices, listen to them, partnerwith support these voices, listen to them, partner with them to find ways to respond and advance human dignity round the world. for example, there is an enormous need for infrastructure in developing countries, but infrastructure that is low quality, whether it feeds corruption or exacerbates environmental degradation may only end up contributing to it over time. done the right way with transparent sustainable investment, in projects that respond to the country's needs, and engage their local workers, to main may tain high labour and environmental standard infrastructure can be a strong foundation, allow society and lower middle—income countries to grow and to prosper. —— maintain. that is the idea behind the build back better world. and together, with the private sector and our g7 partner, we aim to mobilise hundreds of billions of dollars in infrastructure investment. we also, also continue to be the world's largest contributor to humanitarian assistance, bringing food, water, shelter, emergency health care and other vital life—saving aid to millions in need, when the earthquake strike, the typhoon rages anywhere in the world, the united states shows up, we will be ready to help. at a time when nearly one in three people globally do not have access to adequate food, adequate food just last year, united states is committing to rallying our partners to address immediate malnutrition, and to ensure that we can sustainably feed the world for the decades to come. to that end, united states is making a $10 billion commitment to end hunger and invest in food systems at home and abroad. since 2000, the us government has provided more than $140 billion to advance health and strengthen health systems and we will continue or leadership top make people's lives better, every single day, just give them' breathing room. as we strive to make lives better we must work with renewed purpose to ends the conflict that are driving so much pain and hurt round the world. we must redouble or diplomacy and commit to political negotiations not violence, as a tool of first resort. to manage tensions around the world, must seek a future of greater peace and security, for all people, of the middle east. commitment of the us to security without question, and support our support for an independentjewish state is unequivocal but i continue to believe that a two—state solution is the best way to ensure israel's future as jewish is the best way to ensure israel's future asjewish democratic is the best way to ensure israel's future as jewish democratic state, living in peace alongside a viable sovereign and democratic palestinian state. we are a long way from that goal at this moment. we must never allow ourselves to give up and the possibility of progress. we cannot give up on solving raging civil conflict, including in ethiopia and yemen, orfighting between warring parties is driving famine, horrific violence, human rights violations against civilians including the use of rape as a weapon of war. we will continue to work with international community, to press for peace, and bring an end to this suffering. $5 for peace, and bring an end to this sufferinu. �* , for peace, and bring an end to this sufferinu. . , , , suffering. as we pursue the diplomacy _ suffering. as we pursue the diplomacy across _ suffering. as we pursue the diplomacy across the i suffering. as we pursue the | diplomacy across the board, suffering. as we pursue the i diplomacy across the board, the suffering. as we pursue the - diplomacy across the board, the us will champion the democratic values, that go to the very heart of who we are as a nation and people. freedom, equality. opportunity. and a belief in the universal rights of awful people. it is stamped into our dna as a nation and critically it is stamped into the dna of this institution, the united states, we sometimes forget, i quote the opening words of the universal declaration of human right, the equal and unail nobile rights of all members of the hewn —— human family is the foundation of freedom, justice and peace in the world. the founding ethos of the un, places the rights of individuals at the centre of our system. and that clarity and vision must not be ignored or misinterpreted. the united states will do our part but we will be more successful and more impact. if all of our nations are working toward the full mission to which we are called. to that is why more than 100 nations united round a shared statement, the security council adopted a resolution, outlining how we will support the people of afghanistan moving forward. laying out the expectations to which we will hold the taliban, when i comes to respecting universal human right, we must advocate for women the rights of women and girls, to use theirfull rights of women and girls, to use their full talents rights of women and girls, to use theirfull talents to rights of women and girls, to use their full talents to contribute economically, politically and pursue their dreams vie of —— free of violence and dim location, from central america to africa, to afghanistan, where ever it appears in the world, we condemn the targeting and oppression racial ethnic and religious minorities. when it occur, whether it occurs in north ethiopia or anywhere in the world. we all must defend the rights of lgbtqi individuals so they can live and love openly without fear, whether it is chechnya or cameroon or anywhere. as we steer our nations towards this inreflection point, and work to meet today's fast—moving cross cutting challenge, let me be clear. i am cross cutting challenge, let me be clear. iam not cross cutting challenge, let me be clear. i am not agnostic about the future, we want for the world. the future will belong to those who embrace for human dignity. the future will belong to those who unleash the potential of a people, not those who stifle it. the future will belong to those who give their people the ability to breathe free, not those who seek to suffocate their people with an iron hand. authoritarianism, the authoritarianism, may seek to proclaim the end of the age of democracy, but they are wrong. the truth is, the democratic world is everywhere. it lives in the anti—corruption activist, the human rights defenders, the journalists, the peace protesters, on the front lines of the struggles in belarus, burma, venezuela, and everywhere in between. it lives in the brave women of sudan, who withstood violence and oppression to push a genocidal dictator from oppression to push a genocidal dictatorfrom power at oppression to push a genocidal dictator from power at work every day to defend their progress. it lives in moldovans who helped deliver a landslide victory for challenges that will determine what the world looks like for our children and our grandchildren. we can only meet them by looking to the future. i stand can only meet them by looking to the future. istand here can only meet them by looking to the future. i stand here today for the first time in 20 years with the united states not at war. we turned the page. all the strength, energy and commitment, resources of our nation are now fully focused on what's ahead of us, not what was behind. i know this, as we look ahead, we will lead on all the greatest challenges of our time, from covid to climate, peace and security, human dignity and human rights, but we will not go alone. we will eat together with our allies and partners, in cooperation with all those who believe as we do that this is within our power to meet these challenges, to build a future. that preserves this planet. but none of this is inevitable. it is a choice. i can tell you where america stands. we will choose to build a better future. stands. we will choose to build a betterfuture. we, you and i, we have the will and capacity to make it better. ladies and gentlemen, we cannot afford to waste any more time. let's get to work. let's make are better future now. time.

that was the us president joe itiden giving a _ all. that was the us president joe biden giving a speech _ all. that was the us president joe biden giving a speech at - all. that was the us president joe biden giving a speech at the i all. that was the us president joe | biden giving a speech at the united nations general assembly. in his speech, he talked about tackling global terrorism, tackling the pandemic and tackling climate change. and one thing that he did say is that the us would double its contribution to climate finance. and that means that the target of 100 billion dollars would be reached. that is a target that was set for developing countries to contribute to tackling climate change around the world, and the target set was $100 billion. that is £73 billion. and it's something there was concern over whether or not it would be met, and now with this announcement by the us presidentjoe biden that the us would be doubling its contribution to that, it is a target that will now be met. that was one of the many things he discussed there. climate change being a key one. he said he echoed the warning by the un general secretary antonio guterres about it being a code red situation, and he said that every nation must bring their highest possible admission to the table when they meet in glasgow. he is referring to the cop26 climate change summit that is happening in glasgow in november. he also talks a lot about the situation in afghanistan, and he said one of the key things he said was that "we must end the era of relentless war and open an era of relentless diplomacy." he said "the us would be prepared to use force if any were necessary, but the mission must be clear and achievable." and he said, "military power must be a tool of last resort. bombs and bullets which protect against covid—19 and new variants of the virus, " and he was talking again about tackling the global pandemic. he said the us would announce additional commitment to tackling the covid—19 pandemic, and he talked about vaccinating the world. so quite a lot coverage there byjoe biden, the us president, who wasjust talking there byjoe biden, the us president, who was just talking there in his speech. and we can also bring you some of the points that were made by the secretary general, antonio guterres. he was also speaking. he gave the opening speech at the general assembly. and he painted a rather bleak picture of the state of the world. another disease is spreading in our world today. a malody of mistrust. when people see promises of progress denied by the realities of their harsh daily lives, when they see their fundamental rights and freedoms curtailed, when they see petty as well as grand corruption around them, when they see billionaires joyriding to space while millions go hungry on earth, when parents see a future for their children that looks even bleaker than the struggles of today, and when young people see no future at all. the people we serve and represent may lose faith not only in their government and institutions, but in the values that have animated the work of the united nations for over 75 years. peace, human rights, dignity forall, equality, justice, solidarity. like never before, core values are in the cross hairs. a breakdown in trust is leading to a breakdown in values. promises after all are worthless if people do not see results in their daily lives. failure to deliver creates space for some of the darkest impulses of humanity. it provides oxygen for easy fixes, silver solutions and conspiracy theories. it is kindling to stoke ancient grievances, cultural supremacy, ideological dominance, violent misogyny, the targeting of the most vulnerable — including refugees and migrants. un secretary general antonio guterres said that the alarm over climate change was "ringing at fever pitch". the recent report of intergovernmental panel on climate change was a code red for humanity. we see the warning signs in every continent and region. scorching temperatures, shocking biodiversity loss, polluted air, water and natural spaces, and climate—related disasters at every turn. as we saw recently, not even this city, the financial capital of the world, is immune. climate scientists tell us it is not too late to keep degree goal of the paris climate agreement. but the window is rapidly closing. we need a 115% cut in emissions by 2030. let's speak to our diplomatic correspondent. james, how much of what the us presidentjoe biden said mark quite a change from the approach of his predecessor, donald trump? in approach of his predecessor, donald trum - ? , ., approach of his predecessor, donald trum? , ., ., approach of his predecessor, donald trum? ,., ., ., , ., trump? in terms of actual words, a hue trump? in terms of actual words, a huge difference. _ trump? in terms of actual words, a huge difference. donald _ trump? in terms of actual words, a huge difference. donald trump's i huge difference. donald trump's instincts were for bilateral transactional deals, one leader to another. that speech that we have just heard from joe biden was littered with prays for multilateralism. again, the repetition that america is back to engage with the world, whether it was the world trade organization, the united nations, the g7. all of these organisations. but the interesting point was this, that the effort that mr biden was making today was to try and reassure countries who in recent months have said, "hang on, with thought that underjoe biden the us was going to be multilateral again, because it is made a succession of unilateral decisions where it has made a decisions where it has made a decision by itself with minimal consultation with allies, of which the biggest example was the withdrawal of us forces from afghanistan, overwhich withdrawal of us forces from afghanistan, over which the uk and other countries disagreed on the policy, the timing, the timing of the evacuation from kabul airport. so i think what we heard from mr biden today was a reassurance, to say, "look, yet america is going to be different, there are going to be no more forever wars, military force will only be used as a last result, but we are still going to be engaged with the world." and another active reassurance, he said very specifically in reference to china, without actually using the word china, "we are not seeking a new cold war." what we saw was an active reassurance. pond cold war." what we saw was an active reassurance-— reassurance. and he did talk a lot about a coming _ reassurance. and he did talk a lot about a coming together, - reassurance. and he did talk a lot about a coming together, didn't l reassurance. and he did talk a lot i about a coming together, didn't he? weather about the need to tackle the pandemic together, climate change, it was really about the ethos of a united effort, wasn't it? the roblem united effort, wasn't it? the problem is _ united effort, wasn't it? the problem is that _ united effort, wasn't it? the problem is that the - united effort, wasn't it? tie: problem is that the effort has not been united. the whole tenure and turn of the way the world has responded to the covid crisis has been divided, and each country has done their own thing and only belatedly thought, "hang on, wouldn't it be better if we cooperated?" even today, the vast majority of vaccines have been put into arms in wealthier countries, they have not been put into the arms of people in developing countries. there is a huge inequity there. so it is fine for a us president to say, "we must do things together." that hasn't been the case. the one piece of news in the speech, on climate change he did make a new commitment. the british government has been pushing for some time for the americans to say, "you need to tell us how much money you are going to put up for climate finance." that is the money given from richer countries to poorer countries and developing countries to help them reduce their own emissions and adapt and deal with climate change themselves. the target is about $100 billion a year. it is a long—standing target. it hasn't been met yet. what mr biden announced todayis met yet. what mr biden announced today is that the us, ahead of the cop26 summit in in november, will double its commitment to climate finance. and the president said that that will mean, "we will be able to meet the goal of mobilising the hundred billion dollars to support climate change in developing nations." that will produce a huge sigh of relief in downing street, who were kneading the americans to step up here. so that other countries can follow through. absolutely, and how encouraging with some of the rest of what he said in his speech in terms of what the prime minister borisjohnson might be hoping to achieve out of his meeting with him later?- be hoping to achieve out of his meeting with him later? well, look, the british government _ meeting with him later? well, look, the british government has - meeting with him later? well, look, the british government has had i meeting with him later? well, look, the british government has had a i the british government has had a bruising time of late with the united states over afghanistan. that has been improved by the new security pact that has been announced with the united states and australia and the uk. i think what the prime minister will be hoping is that some of that cooperation and that some of that cooperation and that sense of multi—naturalism —— multilateralism that has been made by the president here follows through in other issues around the world. the problem that mrjohnson has got is that on some things he is not going to get much progress. you won't get much progress on a uk— us trade deal. he himself has said that the president has other fish to fry. there are still concerns about divisions between washington and london over the northern ireland protocol. there are concerns in washington that any attempt to an stitch that part of the brexit deal could threaten stability in northern ireland. that message will be made very loud and clear. but i think equally, the uk delegation will be very happy that, for example, the prospect of the travel ban being relaxed and uk citizens with two vaccines being able to go to the united states from november, i think will ameliorate some of those issues. , ., , will ameliorate some of those issues. , ., ~ will ameliorate some of those issues. , . , ., ,, , ., will ameliorate

which uses c02 for a range of products — that supplies to supermarkets would be affected within days. the prime minister has said the government will do what it can to protect consumers, following a spike in wholesale gas prices. speaking to our political editor laura kuenssberg in new york, borisjohnson was questioned about increasing energy prices, supply issues and rising costs of living in the uk this winter. i don't believe that people will be short of food, and wages are actually rising now under this government, if that is what you are driving at. wages are now rising under this government for the first time in decades. and that is a great thing. but prime minister, energy bills are rising, food prices are rising, inflation is rising, and very soon also the government is going to remove £20 a week from some families who believe they really cannot afford that. do you really understand the pressure that some people are feeling at home? yes, and that's why we've raised the living wage by the record amount and that's why we are doing everything we can to help people, as we have done throughout this pandemic. and what you are actually seeing is the economy with the fastest growth rate, which the oecd again confirmed this morning, anywhere in the g7, and you're seeing wages rise sustainably... people are seeing prices rise, a government that are going to take away £20 a week, it is all very well for you to stand on top of a skyscraper in europe and say you understand. iiii skyscraper in europe and say you understand-— understand. if you really

the 2nd of september. sojust to recap, they have been ordered by fifa to play a match behind closed doors, that is after the world cup qualifier in budapest on the 2nd of september, when there was racism experienced by english players as a result of some of the fans. the hungarian football association has also been fined £158,400, and fifa statement said "if fifa £158,400, and fifa statement said " if fifa takes £158,400, and fifa statement said "if fifa takes a clear a zero tolerance stance against such abhorrent behaviour in football." a third man has been accused over the salisbury nerve agent poisonings of sergei skripal and his daughter. the crown prosecution service has authorised charges against a russian intelligence officer, denis sergeev. and for the first time, british police have formally said they believe all three suspects were part of a team from the gru, russian military intelligence. meanwhile, the european court of human rights has ruled that russia was also responsible for the killing of alexander litvinenko — a former spy who died of polonium poisoning in london in 2006. gordon corera reports. it was march, 2018 when deadly nerve agent was deployed on the streets of salisbury. the target, former russian spy sergei skripal fell ill along with his daughter and a police officer after novichok was smeared on his door handle. a local woman, dawn sturgess, died months later when she came into contact with the novichok in a perfume bottle. now a third suspect has been charged — this man, denis sergeev, said to be a member of russian military intelligence. police have released this image of him arriving at heathrow two days before the poisoning. the other two suspects arrived on a different flight and were captured on cctv heading to salisbury and in the town. sergeev stayed in london, but police believe the three met on multiple occasions and he is thought to have been the on the ground commander. he left on the day of the attack from heathrow. the kremlin has consistently denied any involvement. they've got a doctrine of masking, denying everything and then throwing blame bombs out to other people and they'll continue to do that. there is always a hope that if there is a change of government in russia at some stage that they will comply with the more rules—based approach of the rest of the free world. sergeev is believed to be a member of the gru, russian military intelligence, and a unit involved in sabotage and assassination across europe. the unit was involved in this explosion at an arms depot in the czech countryside in 2014 and the poisoning in bulgaria of an arms dealer in 2015, again using a deadly nerve agent, with sergeev alleged to be present on the ground. since salisbury, security services across europe have been tracking the past movements of the unit and trying to expose its work. this whole unit that i think, for decades, they have spent creating and polishing security algorithms and training people for this clandestine unit. they will have to scrap it and start from scratch, train new people, look for alternative methods. and in a separate development, russia has been accused today by the european court of human rights as been responsible for the killing of alexander litvinenko. that was carried out back in 2006 using radioactive polonium but russia has denied all these accusations. gordon corera, bbc news. the home secretary, priti patel, told mps this afternoon that the government will respond "extremely robustly" to what she called the "enduring and significant" threat from the russian state. she said that includes working to arrest the three men now suspected of involvement in the salisbury attack. all three individuals previously worked together for the gru as part of additional operations outside of russia. all three men are now wanted by uk police. arrest warrants are in place for all three. the police have applied for an interpol notice, mirroring those already if place against the other two suspects. russia has repeatedly refused to allow its nationals to stand trial overseas. this was also the case following the murder of alexander litvinenko, when a uk extradition request was refused. this has only added to the heartache of those hurt by these attacks, and, mr speaker, inevitably further damaged our relations with russia. as was made clear in 2018, should any of these individuals ever travel outside russia, we will work with our international partners and take every possible step to detain them and extradite them to face justice. the home secretary there. now it's time for a look at the weather with ben rich. the days of september are passing by. in certain ways, it is feeling autumnal. further north, a little bit of rain. it will be windy and briefly a bit cooler. on the earlier satellite picture, you can see a lot of cloud piling in from the west, but much of this is just wispy high cloud turning the sunshine quite hazy through the rest of the day. northern ireland and western scotland will see thicker cloud, the odd spot of rain in the western highlands. pretty within the far north. those are the steady wind speeds. the gusts could get to around 50 mph in exposed areas in the far north. temperatures in eastern scotland up to 21 degrees. similar values in wales and central and southern england. this cloud filtering in across parts of scotland and northern ireland. some rain into the far north—west. further south, where we keep clear skies, it will be quite a chilly night, with lows of seven — nine degrees. for england and wales tomorrow, we can expect some sunny spells. but a bit more cloud than we had today. some drizzle for the west of england. windy for north—east england. we will have this band of cloud and patchy rain thinking southwards, brighter skies and a few showers in the far north where it will be turning quite a lot cooler. further south, will be turning quite a lot cooler. furthersouth, highs will be turning quite a lot cooler. further south, highs of 22 celsius. this first frontal system sinks southwards and weakens. we will see an area of low pressure passing north of scotland. briefly, this town of cold air working in across the far north. we will keep cloud and some patchy rain across the northern half of the uk on thursday. further south, spells of sunshine. temperatures of 22 degrees in london, aberdeen will only get to 14 and larick to 11 degrees. that brief chilly spell will not last long, because as we head into the weekend the winds will start to come up from the winds will start to come up from the south. that will feed warmer air across pretty much all parts of the uk. temperatures in the high teens or low 20s. this is bbc news. the

understand _ with cf industries? well, as we understand it _ with cf industries? well, as we understand it the _ with cf industries? well, as we understand it the government | with cf industries? well, as we i understand it the government has struck a deal with cf industries to get its two fertilising plants on teesside and in cheshire back up and running and that is is really important. because what many people don't realise is that carbon dioxide is a buy product of the fertiliser industry, so for them it is a waste product, but it is extremely important in the rest of the economy. so for example, it is used in the meat industry for stunning animal, it is used in food packaging it is also incidentally used in the civil nuclear industry, and it is used by the nhs as well, so it is a very important... problem with sound we seem to have lost our link to our correspondent there, but we will see if we can go back to him later. in his first address to the un general assembly,us presidentjoe biden has promised a new era of 'relentless diplomacy�* instead of 'relentless war�*, speaking enthusiastically in support in support of multilateralism. all the major powers of the world have a duty in my view to carefully manage their relationships, so they do not tip from responsible competition, to conflict. united states will compete and compete vigorously, and lead with our values and strength, we will stand up for our allies and friend and oppose attempts by stronger countries to dominate weaker ones. whether through changes to territory by force, economic coercion, technical explosions tasting or disinformation but we are not seeking say it again we are not seeking a new cold war or a world divided into rigid blocks. joe biden is due speak to boris johnson later. joe biden is due speak to borisjohnson later. let's speak now to carl bildt, who's a former swedish prime minister and co—chair of the foreign policy thinktank the european council on foreign relations. so, thank you forjoining us. what do you make of some of the key points that president bidenen made in that speech i points that president bidenen made in that speech— in that speech i think it was a conciliatory — in that speech i think it was a conciliatory speech, - in that speech i think it was a conciliatory speech, think - in that speech i think it was a conciliatory speech, think it l in that speech i think it was a i conciliatory speech, think it was meant as such. what you highlighted from what he shade he doesn't want a cold war, he wants to work with everyone, that is another way of saying, i want to work with kind as well. it is not only confrontation and competition, it is also the necessity of working together on the global challenges where we have to stand together. so i think that was a positive message, there's a lot of confrontational message coming out of washington these days and otherwise from china, but this was another type of message in new york now. �* , , now. and the president said we must en . a . e now. and the president said we must engage deeply _ now. and the president said we must engage deeply with — now. and the president said

how it marks a departure from his predecessor donald trump? well, i mean certainly _ predecessor donald trump? well, i mean certainly most _ predecessor donald trump? well, i mean certainly most welcome, - predecessor donald trump? well, i mean certainly most welcome, and | mean certainly most welcome, and also it is most necessary, i mean, we can't fight the pandemic. if we fight, we can't fight climate, if we fight, we can't fight climate, if we fight over those particular issues so it is a welcome of welcome but it is necessary if we are going to have any sort of result op fighting the pandemic and fighting climate change, so there are other issues that divides us, needless to say but they are at the moment these great global challenges where we really need to work together, even with china, even with russia. find need to work together, even with china, even with russia.- need to work together, even with china, even with russia. and one of those china, even with russia. and one of these global— china, even with russia. and one of those global challenges _ china, even with russia. and one of those global challenges is _ china, even with russia. and one of those global challenges is tackling l those global challenges is tackling climate change, how significant was his announcement that the us will be doubling its commitment financially, towards tackling climate change? i think it is important, i think it is important that money is mobilised from particularly rich world, that is needed for the developing countries in order to be able to handle this, think it was a good signal in there for to mobilise more political decisiveness prior to cop26. if we look at things now, they are not sufficient global commitments on the table. now he did, the president did face criticism over the way the withdrawal from afghanistan was handled but in his speech today, at the general assembly he talked a lot about ending that era of relentless war and talking about, you know, many ill tripower being the tool of last resort and wanting to, you know, instead of fixing, fighting wars of the past wanting to face a different approach, how much do you think that you know, goes towards justifying his handling of the afghanistan crisis? i justifying his handling of the afghanistan crisis?— justifying his handling of the afghanistan crisis? i think the afghanistan — afghanistan crisis? i think the afghanistan issue _ afghanistan crisis? i think the afghanistan issue was - afghanistan crisis? i think thej afghanistan issue was notably afghanistan crisis? i think the - afghanistan issue was notably absent from the speech. he said wented wars he didn't mention which war, he mentioned countries record the world where people were standing up for human rights but one of the countries he didier deschamps not mention was afghanistan. so i think he was clearly seeking to get away from the issue of afghanistan, whether that will succeed is i think debatable. find whether that will succeed is i think debatable. �* ., �* debatable. and i mean he didn't mention afghanistan _ debatable. and i mean he didn't mention afghanistan that - debatable. and i mean he didn't mention afghanistan that many | debatable. and i mean he didn't - mention afghanistan that many times by name but he did seem to be reading between the lines he seemed to make reference a lot to wars of the past, and where he said that any force that was used must be towards a mission where it must be a clear and achievable goal, so i mean do you think reading two ten lines there was a lot of making reference to his handling of afghanistan. well, there was a reference to the fact that he wants to get rid of the issue, thats he has left afghanistan, he wants that to be forgotten, i think it is somewhat sort of strange that he can manage all sorts of countries where people fight for democracy and their right to form their own government and freedom and all sorts of things and doesn't mention afghanistan, which has been a sustained commitment by the us and ex—numbers of other countries for two deck aileds where the fight has been for democracy and the fight has been for democracy and the right of individualings and women and girls but those rights are now severely violated, but that particular piece of the world was absent in his speech. iflari particular piece of the world

india, didn't mention the uk, but what mrjohnson will be pleased about after his call yesterday, will be this commitment to add to the money given to help poorer countries deal with climate change, both in terms of dealing with the immediate challenge, and how they transform their economies in the future. as we heard mr biden say, in april, he announced he was doubling to $5.7 billion, that is doubling from the obama era the amount the us would give each year. what he said today was working with congress we are going to double that again, so to more than 11 billion but he does need to come stick political approval for that, need to come stick political approvalforthat, it need to come stick political approvalfor that, it is not entirely a done deal, some critics will say given the size

what i understand is that now he has pledged this doubling, we can meet the $100 billion target? we we are not there yet. he said he is confident we can do that, figures last week released by the oecd which showed where richer countries had got to in terms of that target. we can show you a graph. by 2019, the levels had reached $79.6 billion, and it was supposed by 2020 to have reached 100 billion, so a 20 billion shortfall. this announcement today if you like potentially fills 5 billion of that gap but where will the rest come from? we need further announcements before cop26 in november, if that 100 billion pledge will be met. it was supposed to have been met last year, so, the richer countries are still behind the curve if you like and that goal in 2020 is still some way off. 50 if you

president trump there was no increase at all in the amount of money that it was prepared to give to developing nation, and when we start to talk about $100 billion a year it sounds absurd, one thing developing countries have noticed is the vast amount of money the rich countries have been able to spend on the covid pandemic and that message has gone out, with when the crisis hit, when will is an

interesting, on the issue of the funding gap for climate finance, just before mr biden stood up finance, just before mr biden stood up the secretary—general said we are weeks away from cop26 but light years away from reaching our target. even with that extra money from the us there a long way to go. you talked to the climate experts about what needs to be done, they say 100 billion a year is the floor not the ceiling. we need to build on it looking at what was spent on covid they need more on climate.- looking at what was spent on covid they need more on climate. the family of the teenage

account for about 60% of uk carbon dioxide production, and that is is really significant, because as i was saying before that carbon dioxide is juiced widely in food production, it is used in the civil nuclear industry and it is uisted by the nhs, so the government has been absolutely desperate to persuade cf industries to resume production at the plants. the problem is, for that company, they don't want to do it if they will be losing money so we know a deal has been done and we don't know the details of that deal but it is likely to include some kind of subsidy or at least some indemnity that will allaw the plants to continue producing carbon dioxide and make up for losses that the company experience, so that it can keep producing without hurting its bottom line. keep producing

a way that specifically tries to vied that situation. you have to remember that situation. you have to remember that cf industries is in a unique position here, it has the two plants that account for more than half of the uk's c02 production so in a sense it's in a position to hold a gun to the head of the uk government. so other companies might not be in such a strong position. now talking to people within the government, you know, you put it to them there is a risk that any sort of a deal, any sort of a deal which makes life easierfor cf of a deal, any sort of a deal which makes life easier for cf industries would not look great because this is a foreign company but what they are saying is that it is so important to get these plants up and running, thatis get these plants up and running, that is the priority at the moment, and there have been intensive discussions over the past few days, between the business secretary kwasi kwarteng and the chief executive to try and get a deal done because if carbon dioxide production stops, then as it has done for cf industry, foot shortages are only days away so they had to doe this deal and it appears they have done it. thank ou. a third man has been accused over the salisbury nerve agent poisonings of sergei skripal and his daughter. the crown prosecution service has authorised charges against a russian intelligence officer, denis sergeev. and — for the first time — british police have formally said they believe all three suspects were part of a team from the gru, russian military intelligence. meanwhile, the european court of human rights has ruled that russia was also responsible for the killing of alexander litvinenko — a former spy who died of polonium poisoning in london in 2006. gordon corera reports. it was march, 2018 when deadly nerve agent was deployed on the streets of salisbury. the target, former russian spy sergei skripal fell ill along with his daughter and a police officer after novichok was smeared on his door handle. a local woman, dawn sturgess, died months later when she came into contact with the novichok in a perfume bottle. now a third suspect has been charged — this man, denis sergeev, said to be a member of russian military intelligence. police have released this image of him arriving at heathrow two days before the poisoning. the other two suspects arrived on a different flight and were captured on cctv heading to salisbury and in the town. sergeev stayed in london, but police believe the three met on multiple occasions and he is thought to have been the on the ground commander. he left on the day of the attack from heathrow. the kremlin has consistently denied any involvement. they've got a doctrine of masking, denying everything and then throwing blame bombs out to other people and they'll continue to do that. there is always a hope that if there is a change of government in russia at some stage that they will comply with the more rules—based approach of the rest of the free world. sergeev is believed to be a member of the gru, russian military intelligence, and a unit involved in sabotage and assassination across europe. the unit was involved in this explosion at an arms depot in the czech countryside in 2014 and the poisoning in bulgaria of an arms dealer in 2015, again using a deadly nerve agent, with sergeev alleged to be present on the ground. since salisbury, security services across europe have been tracking the past movements of the unit and trying to expose its work. this whole unit that i think, for decades, they have spent creating and polishing security algorithms and training people for this clandestine unit. they will have to scrap it and start from scratch, train new people, look for alternative methods. and in a separate development, russia has been accused today by the european court of human rights as been of human rights as being responsible for the killing of alexander litvinenko. that was carried out back in 2006 using radioactive polonium but russia has denied all these accusations. gordon corera, bbc news. the home secretary, priti patel, told mps this afternoon that the government will respond 'extremely robustly�* to what she called the �*enduring and significant�* threat from the russian state. she said that includes working to arrest the three men now suspected of involvement in the salisbury attack. all three individuals previously worked together for the gru as part of additional operations outside of russia. all three men are now wanted by uk police. arrest warrants are in place for all three. the police have applied for an interpol notice, mirroring those already in place against the other two suspects. russia has repeatedly refused to allow its nationals to stand trial overseas. this was also the case following the murder of alexander litvinenko, when a uk extradition request was refused. this has only added to the heartache of those hurt by these attacks, and, mr speaker, inevitably further damaged our relations with russia. as was made clear in 2018, should any of these individuals ever travel outside russia, we will work with our international partners and take every possible step to detain them and extradite them to face justice. the ministry of defence has referred itself to the information commissioner after an email was mistakenly sent which revealed information about dozens of afghan interpreters seeking relocation to the uk. more than 250 people seeking relocation to the uk — many of whom are in hiding — were mistakenly copied into an emailfrom the mod, in which their names and some profile pictures were visible. defence secretary ben wallace has launched an investigation into how the breach occurred. he also said one person has been suspended. we�*re joined by the conservative mp and former army officerjohnny mercer. industries, foot shortages are only days away so they had to doe this deal and it appears they have done it. thank

we have had a lot time to get this right. only 440 had been resettled in this country up to april. we employed 4,000, that is a lot of afghan inter—preters who have been left behind, we promised we would look after them and never expected to be on the wrong end of what happened in afghanistan, so whatever the figures are they are not good and we need to redouble efforts to make sure the pathways

talked about talking to the taliban and trying to use diplomacy to get them out. you know e personally i think things like that are ridiculous but thaw is our only option to get these people out and stop them being killed by the taliban. thank you forjoining us. that that isjonny mercer. conservative mp and former army officer. staying with afghanistan — the taliban has announced a further round

more of this relatively warm weather over the next few days. on the satellite picture, a fair amount of cloud, but a lot of this has been wispy high clouds turning the sun shine a little hazy. some slightly thicker cloud into western scotland, northern ireland, giving the odd spot of rain. quite windy and the far north. it will stay that way tonight. cloud feeds in, some rain into the far north—west, but across a good part of england and wales clear skies, a good part of england and wales clearskies, it a good part of england and wales clear skies, it is going to turn into quite a chilly night. those are the signs that we are in fact moving into autumn, but with some sunshine across england and wales, tomorrow temperatures will again lift into the low 20s. this band of rain making for a different day across parts of scotland. turning really quite chilly across the far north at this stage. there is they will be quite a chilly day in northern scotland. elsewhere, temperatures not doing so badly. for the end of the week, it turns warm for all of us. in the south, possibly 22 or 23 celsius. hello, this is bbc news. the headlines... action on the energy crisis — the government strikes a deal with a fertiliser firm to restart production in an effort to maintain supply of carbon dioxide and ease fears of food shortages. the deal comes as the prime minister insisted the gas supply crisis is a short—term problem which is being tackled. obviously we�*re talking to the energy companies, doing what we can to keep prices low and to make sure that the supermarket shelves aren�*t empty. president biden promises relentless diplomacy will be the byword for his administration — and commits the us to "double" its contribution to climate finance. a third man faces charges over the salisbury poisonings — the home secretary pledges "robust action" against the russian intelligence hit squad that tried to kill sergei skripal and his daughter. the family of the teenage motorcyclist, harry dunn, announced they�*ve reached a settlement in a civil claim against the american woman accused of killing him. foreign secretary liz truss has vowed to continue the fight to get anne sacoolas to return to the uk to face "justice". sport, and a full round up, from the bbc sport centre. hungary will have to play their next home world cup qualifier agianst albania next month behind closed doors because of the racist behaviour of their fans during the game in budapest against england earlier this month. fifa say that because of the seriousness of the incidents that included racist words and gestures towards england players and the throwing of objects and lighting of fireworks, hungary would have to play two matches without fans but one of those is suspended for two years. they�*ve also been fined just under £160,000. scotlands women beat hungary in budapest last week and they have another world cup qualifier tonight. the match in glasgow against the faroe islands will be a historic occasion, the first time the scots have played a world cup qualifier at hampden park — with the stadium now their regular home ground. over 18,000 watched them play a friendly there ahaed of the 2019 world cup. for every home game, to be there, it is a huge boost, not just for us as players, to be able to play there, but for fans it is more attractive. it's a great day out for friends and family that want to come, and, yeah, just really happy that the scottish fa have made that decision. all four home nations are in action this evening, england are top of their group after their opening 8—0 win over north macedonia. leah williamson will continue to skipper the side in the absence of the injured steph houghton. they face luxembourg away. northern ireland are also in england�*s group and after beating luxembourg 4—0 last week are expected to make some changes against latvia with some of the younger squad members getting a run—out. they�*ll be playing at windsor park for the first time in nine years. wales are on the road — they�*re in estonia following their 6—0 win over kazakhstan in llanelli on friday night. the wales boss gemma grainger

women have been struggling in the third one—dayer against new zealand at leicester�*s grace road. they were put into bat and were on the back foot from the start. both openers went cheaply and captain heather knight also fell to the bowling of lea tahuhu. charlie dean was tahuhu�*s fifth wicket, at that stage england were 78 for 7 offjust 22 overs. the one positive was katherine brunt, she dug in on her return to the side and was left stranded on 49 as england were bowled out for 178 in the last few minutes, and they would have taken that after making such a terrible start. eddiejones has challenged some of his more experienced players to up their game if they�*re to be a part of the rugby world cup in two years�* time. the england head coach has left out some key players from the 45 man training squad named today. billy and mako vunipola, jamie george, george ford have all been excluded. the harlequins star marcus smith who made his england debut over the summer and was called up by the lions, is expected to get the nod at fly—half. there are also eight uncapped players called up for the camp ahead of the november tests against tonga, australia and south africa. there two years before the world cup, we are now selecting for the world cup. and some of the experienced players we have left out, we feel it is a good time for them to refocus and refresh and get ready to

has reached a deal with the biggest supplier of carbon dioxide in the uk, to address concerns about a lack of supply. cf industries, an american firm, will restart operations it had paused at its two fertiliser plants in cheshire and teesside because of high wholesale gas costs. the details of the agreement have not been announced. tom holder is a spokesperson for the british retail consortium and joins me now. how much of a difference for this restarting of two plants make to the situation? ~ , ., ., . situation? well, this announcement is a hue situation? well, this announcement is a huge

industry. so i think it�*s going to be absolutely... it�*s vital that has happened, but now we need to see the gas restart production and get out to where it�*s needed, getting out to the food manufacturers, to the farms and to the packaging places so that we can ensure there are no disruptions for consumers on the supermarket shelves. brute disruptions for consumers on the supermarket

companies as quickly as possible, that should be ok. the real concern now is that the shortage of hgv drivers, which has been reported over the past month, needs to be resolved, otherwise there are going to be a actually distributing that gas around to where it�*s needed. which is why we really need the government to introduce a temporary work visa for drivers from abroad to ensure that we have people who can drive the heavy goods vehicles that can get gas or c02 or other products that are very hard to move around because of the shortage, and make sure there is as little production at the supermarket, at the shelves for consumers at home. find supermarket, at the shelves for consumers at home.— supermarket, at the shelves for consumers at home. �* ., ., consumers at home. and how

in terms of food and non—food, and that has been compounded by shipping and other issues that are happening at the moment in distribution supply. so what we really want is to make sure that this doesn�*t happen. retailers are ramping up at the moment for christmas. we don�*t want to see any disruption there. it is a really important time for retailers and for the industries recovery, and therefore it is absolutely vital that the government acts on this as soon as possible, introducing temporary work visas so that we can get additional drivers in the uk while retailers spend their time training up new british drivers at the moment who will be ready months down the line. find the moment who will be ready months down the line-— down the line. and 'ust briefly, tom. down the line. and

to hear this government announcement that production is restarting at the cheshire and stockton—on—tees sites, so what we now need is government to act as soon as possible for the c02 manufacturing to restart as quickly as possible, and that you get out to retailers and food producers as fast as possible to prevent disruption. tom, thank you. just days ahead of his party�*s conference, labour leader sir keir starmer is pushing to replace labour�*s one—member—one—vote approach to leadership elections with the old "electoral college" system that gives mps more of a say. let�*s get more on how this would work with our political correspondent, iain watson. the first in person conference for a keir starmer starts at the weekend. he was elected under the current system, one member, one vote for party members. that system is most associated with the leadership of jeremy corbyn. lots of the grass roots members backed jeremy corbyn leader. so some on the left of the party think this is attempt to decarbonise the labour party further, and they are very much opposed to this. the left—wing group, momentum, that was very supportive ofjeremy corbyn, says this could provoke civil war in the party. keir starmer has to overcome one hurdle first. at that conference, half the votes are controlled by trade unions. so he is going along to a crucial meeting with those unions tomorrow to try to convince them that the rules should change, effectively mps should be given a greater say and ordinary party members less of a say when it comes to electing a new leader in due course. i think the news probably isn�*t too great for him at the moment, because the biggest union that is affiliated to the labour party, a big funder of the labour party, a big funder of the labour party, a big funder of the labour party, is unite trade union. it is a new secretary. she told me that keir starmer�*s proposals were a big mistake. i really think this is an error. an absolute error. anybody listening to that — you know, one member, one vote being spoken about as labour — they'll probably reach for the remote and switch it off. because why would anybody be interested? at this point in time, labour needs to focus on what is happening to workers and communities. we have a policy on one member, one vote and we will discuss that policy with delegation, but what i said in the letter, which i think is the most important paragraph, is why are we talking about rule changes in labour in a crisis? i would suggest they put those into the back pocket. if they want to talk about them, put them some where else for another time. what they should focus on, if i was them, for every single day of the conference, talking about the issues that are facing workers and communities and how they can affect change as labour. because if they don't do that, if they sort of think, "well, we'll do that another time when we start getting rules sorted out..." i come back to the point about crisis. people remember who is beside you and people will remember that on this conference labour spoke about rules rather than issues. and i think that is a huge error for them. so the new unite leader saying that the labour party should focus on issues rather than internal wrangling. i think that might be something that is... because at the labour conference, i think the first day is going to be dominated by quite a lot of internal rows, including a batter over whether the party�*s general secretary should be ousted as some of the trade unions are not too keen on him because he is making redundancies in the party and making... that could be petite tumultuous. in the letter mentioned, a letter she is writing to labour mps saying that these changes proposed by keir starmer, which as i say would give ordinary party members less of a say, she says are undemocratic and unfair, and she hopes labour mps will not back then. keir starmer says these changes are essential to reconnect the party with working people and obviously, quite frankly, to distance himself from the legacy of his predecessor. thank you, ian. children with mental health disorders are facing long waits for treatment in england — with one area having an average time of eight months between being referred and their first counselling session. a bbc investigation has found that a fifth of patients waited longer than 12 weeks. our health correspondent sophie hutchinson has been meeting some of the parents who are desperate to get help for their children. her report contains some details which you may find upsetting. that feeling of helplessness. i can�*t even describe how awful, as a parent, is to see that. you�*re waiting for a service that you know could help your child. the desperate situation facing some parents with a mentally ill child. when things get tough, this is where sue comes — her teenage daughter, who has self—harmed, has been waiting for mental health treatment for almost two and a half years. we don�*t know how long it�*s going to be before she receives help, but when she does receive that help, you know, we don�*t know now how she�*s going to engage with that because of the wait. and, as i say, you know, i do wonder if, as a result of those delays, you know, she might end up needing medication because the anxiety is now so high. it�*s estimated, in england, 1.5 million under—is—year—olds have a probable mental health disorder. but in the year to 2021, the child and adolescent mental health service — camhs — sawjust under a third of them. and data obtained by the bbc from half of camhs�* services in england suggests, since the pandemic, one in five have waited longer than 12 weeks — and in one area, the average wait was nearly nine months. your teachers here really, really care about you, and... some teachers are so concerned they�*re telling parents not to bother with camhs. the additional support for mental health is completely overwhelmed as things stand currently. when i have parents that are in a really desperate situation, i'm often reluctant to refer them on to these services because i know the length of time that they will wait. and sometimes there just isn't that opportunity to wait — you need that support right there, right then to try and help the child and the family. sandra — not her real name. her i6—year—old daughter has waited three years for treatment, despite attempting suicide 17 times. you get told to call the crisis team, who are never there in times of crisis because you can only have a crisis between 8am and 6pm. and then you get referred to adult services who just say "ring an ambulance". the government says, due to the pandemic, nhs staff are now treating more children and young people than ever before. she can�*t imagine living her life feeling the way that she does. and so the consequence of having to wait this long is that it�*s done an awful lot of psychiatric damage to her, really. how painful is that to you? it�*s devastating. voice breaking: she's so talented. she�*s amazing at art and music. she�*s really creative. but when you are constantly trying to just keep your daughter alive another day, to hope that someone will give her some therapy... sorry. after five suicide attempts this summer, sandra�*s daughter was eventually referred for the therapy she needs. and sue�*s daughter — who�*s waited since october 2018 — has now been given an appointment. sophie hutchinson, bbc news. and if you�*ve been affected by these issues, you can go to bbc.co.uk/actionline for details of organisations offering information and support — or you can call forfree, at any time, to hear recorded information on 0800 066 066. nicola sturgeon has confirmed that the scottish government�*s vaccine passport scheme will come into effect a week on friday. from sam on the first of october, people will have to show a paper certificate or qr code on a smartphone to get into nightclubs and larger live events. our scotland correspondent lorna gordon gave us this update. in terms of who will check and how they will check, she says it has to be a common—sense approach by the venues involved. so, for instance, if someone goes into a pub for lunch at midday and is still there 12 hours later when that pub turns into a nightclub venue — by the definition given by the scottish government — they won't be expected to have their vaccination status checked then. but if they're going into a nightclub at midnight then they will. she also said that at larger events staff will be expected to carry out a reasonable number of checks. there will be an app here in scotland for people to show their vaccination status. that will be available to download on the 30th of september — so just from the day before. but you can already download your qr codes onto your phone or indeed ask for a paper certificate to be sent out to you, or download that paper certificate and print it at home. so there are other ways around having that app. but it was a move, i think, to reassure businesses who were still concerned about how this will work that the government is on it, that they're trying to give definitions and that they see this as a sensible, pragmatic approach, and one that they hope will help reduce transmission of the virus as we go into winter. our scotland correspondence there. the bbc has apologised to the mother of a murdered schoolgirl, who has accused the former bbc correspondent, martin bashir, of failing to return an item of her daughter�*s clothing. michelle hadaway�*s daughter, karen, was one of the victims of what became known as the babes in the wood killings in 1986. our correspondent, david sillito has more. the background to this, those terrible murders in 1986. the mother of karen hadaway, michelle hadaway, was approached by martin bashir in 1991 — five years later — he said as part of an investigation for a documentary that was never broadcast. and he said he could organise dna tests on the clothes. michelle hadaway says she gave the clothes to him and never saw them again. now, there was an investigation by the bbc in 2004, and since it�*s been raised again following, of course, martin bashir and the revelations about the diana interview. he said that there had been an attempt and they had spoken to martin bashir, he couldn�*t find them and he said, "it is with a heavy heart" that they�*ve not been able to give michelle hadaway the answers she deserves. we are extremely sorry for the distress this has caused ms hadaway. i mean, i think it is a real... it's very distressing that we haven't been able to give her answers in terms of what happened to that clothing. and i'm appalled that that got lost. i'm appalled by it. and i think it's a serious issue. there�*s probably one other point to mention, of course. a successful conviction was brought in 2018 and sussex police say that the loss of the clothes has not affected the investigation into the case. more people have been forced to flee their homes after the eruption of a volcano on the spanish island of la palma. there are fears that lava flows could trigger toxic gases and explosions when they reach the sea. the volcano began erupting on sunday, shooting lava hundreds of metres into the air, engulfing forests and destroying scores of homes on the island, the most northwestern of the canaries. danjohnson sent this update from la palma. people are loading up because they have been told to leave. residents have been told to leave. residents have been told to leave. residents have been giving limited time to grab what they can, pack it up and get out, to go to a place of safety. they will be taken to emergency shelters and they have been warned that they might not be able to come back here. you can see just how close the flames are and how big the risk is to these properties, and being here forjust a couple of minutes you realise how dangerous it is. there is ash settling on my shoulders. you can feel it in the air. and all the time the volcano is rumbling thunderously in the background. all of these houses are likely to be destroyed, but even any that survive could be dangerous for a long time to come. the winner of the museum of the year will be announced tonight, a prize which celebrates the uk�*s best museums and galleries. this year�*s finalists include experience barnsley, firstsite in colchester and thackray museum of medicine in leeds. the art fund, which runs the prize, says the entries reflect the resilience and imagination of museums throughout the pandemic. the announcement will be made during a special programme on the bbc news channel tonight at 7:15pm. let�*s get your weather forecast now, with ben. have you got some good news for us? a few like dry and warm weather, it is good news for us. temperatures have been up above 22 celsius. that is not bad going at all for the 21st of september. through the next few days, more dry and fairly warm weather, particularly across part of the south of the uk will turn cooler. quite windy here with just a bit of rain at times. this is what has been going on today. this is the satellite picture. it looks like there�*s been quite a lot of cloud but you can see it is quite wispy high cloud. it hasjust but you can see it is quite wispy high cloud. it has just been turning the sunshine hazy. some thick clouds in parts of western scotland and northern ireland. sinking down into northern england through the site. we see more cloud feeding into the north—west coming to scotland and northern ireland. it will stay quite windy here. further south, for wales, east anglia, the south of england, quite a chilly start for tomorrow. seven or eight degrees in places. in much of england and wales tomorrow, we will again see some sunshine. perhaps more cloud than we have had today. slightly different story for scotland and northern ireland. a bit brighter with some showers into the far north. still quite blustery across the northern half of the uk, especially windy to the east of the pennines, part of eastern scotland. 17 degrees in aberdeen to 22 in london. as we head into tomorrow evening, wednesday evening, you can see this first band of cloud and rain continuing to stagger southwards. lots of showers in northern scotland. the wind picking up again because of this system that will be moving very close to be far north of the uk. as this cold front works its way through, temporarily for thursday, we see this town of colder air working in across the northern islands, the north of the mainland, quite a chilly day across the far north on thursday. may the odd spot of light rain. some sunny spells to the south. look at a temperature for their work. just 10 degrees on thursday afternoon. however, that brief spell of chilly weather is not going to last long. the winds switch around to southerly winds, and that will pull some warmer air back into our direction. we head into the weekend, we will see quite a lot of dry weather, some spells of sunshine, a little bit of patchy rain, but temperatures generally in the high teens are low 20s. not bad at all for this point in september. this is bbc news. the headlines. action on the energy crisis, the government strikes a deal with a fertiliser firm to restart production in an effort to maintain supply of carbon dioxide and ease fears of food shortages. the deal comes as the prime minister insisted the gas supply crisis is a short—term problem which is being tackled. obviously, we are talking to the energy companies doing what we can to keep prices low, to make sure the supermarket shelves to keep prices low, to make sure the aren�*t empty. president biden promises relentless diplomacy will be for his administration — and commits the us to "double" its contribution to climate finance. the extreme weather events that we have seen in
