"it's time for humanity to grow up," — that was borisjohnson's message on climate change, in a speech to the united nations general assembly in new york. he said the planet is not an indestructible toy, and called the forthcoming summit on climate change in glasgow, cop26, "a turning point for humanity." our correspondent barbara plett usher sent this report new york. it was not for the faint—hearted, this frenetic trip. the prime minister covered a lot of ground. he shook a few hands, conducted a few interviews, visited a few sites, even took a train ride. the final stop, back to the united nations, where he used his address to press for stronger commitments to end global warming, with a stark warning of the enduring consequences, if countries didn't step up. we will see desertification, drought, crop failure and mass movements of humanity on a scale not seen before, not because of some unforeseen natural event or disaster, but because of us, because of what we are doing now, and our grandchildren will know that we are the culprits. it's time for humanity to grow up. the prime minister chose to focus solely on the subject of climate change. he used this global stage to make the strongest pitch he could, ahead of the climate conference coming up soon in glasgow, which, he said, would be a critical point for humanity. it helped to have an american president on side. joe biden pledged to double us contributions for developing nations to tackle climate change. that was a big win for mrjohnson, who was determined to cement a crucial relationship that's had its rocky moments. he wasn't able to tuck the promise of a new trade deal into his suitcase, but it was still a largely successful trip that showcased the two leaders working together on shared priorities, and nowhere is that more evident than when it comes to the climate crisis. mr president, see you in glasgow. thank you. applause. barbara plett usher, bbc news, new york. our reality check correspondent chris morris is here. ahead of cop26 in november in glasgow, we have heard a lot of rhetoric. talk us through some of the details and the substance. mr the details and the substance. ii johnson the details and the substance. m johnson is the host, he really needs to make that a success, and he talked about the four areas where he thinks progress is urgently needed, thatis thinks progress is urgently needed, that is coal, cars, cash and trees. and of those, let's focus on a couple of them. rapidly phasing out the use of coal. china announced this week that it was going to stop funding coal project in other countries, and that's a really big step forward, but what's the timescale? what about coal inside china itself? there is clearly more to be done. as for cash, there was good news this week when the united states said it was going to double the amount of finance and money it gives to the developing world to help it deal with climate change, but the us is coming from a very low level, and the overall promise from the rich world, to give 100 million a year, and that should be in dollars, not pounds, from 2020, has not been met, so again, more to be done. as for the other two areas he mentioned, i think the uk is probably doing better in encouraging the spread of electric cars than it is in planting trees. we have a very low level of tree cover, compared to the rest of europe, particularly in england. and of course all these issues feed into the overall goal of rapidly reducing emissions of greenhouse gases which warm up the planet. and the question is, can mr johnson and other governments turn all the pledges they are going to make in glasgow into practice over next decade, because that is essential, if we are going to reduce the warming of the planet to 1.5 degrees above preindustrial levels. that's the target that people want to make. when, hopefully, the pandemic starts to fade from view, thatis pandemic starts to fade from view, that is going to be the big political issue of the 20205. that is going to be the big political issue of the 2020s. thank ou ve political issue of the 2020s. thank you very much- — police investigating the murder of 28—year—old sabina nessa have made a fresh appeal for information from the public. they say they think she was killed on her way to meet a friend ata pub. sabina nessa's body was found by a member of the public in a south—east london park on saturday morning, and a vigil will be held tomorrow in her memory. the family of the primary school teacher say they've been left devastated by her death. our correspondent megan paterson reports. sabina nessa, described by her family as a "sweet, beautiful soul," by her colleagues as a "brilliant and dedicated teacher." on twitter, her sister said she was an inspiration, and she couldn't believe what was happening to herfamily. today, police officers leading the investigation into sabina nessa's murder again appealed for witnesses. maybe you saw someone acting strangely inside the park or running away from it. if you were in the area, please link back and let us know if you have any information. sabina nessa was going to meet a friend on friday night, a journey which should have taken just five minutes. she left her home on astle road at around 8:30pm, walking to the depot pub in kidbrooke village. her body was found by a member of the public near the onespace community centre in cator park the next day. flowers left at the scene where she was found. on friday, a vigil will be held here, celebrating sabina nessa's life, organised by campaigners who say this is another example of alarming violence against women. this is not on women to protect ourselves. we need the perpetrators to be stopped. there is nothing done about harassment level offences, there is very little done about indecent exposure offences. people don'tjust go out and murder right away, there are signs, there are histories, there are reports made ahead of time. there are people that are scared of these men before they perpetrate these crimes. the police investigation team is reassuring the local community patrols will be increased here in the

hospital emergency departments in wales have recorded their worst ever performance. on nearly eight thousand occasions in august, people had to wait more than 12 hours in urgent care. the target is that nobody should be waiting that long. some patients are also waiting hours for an ambulance to arrive, as our wales correspondent hywel griffith reports. an emergency service struggling with its own crisis. the wait for an ambulance in wales can be hours, even for those in desperate need. stuart knows what that feels like. in august, it took three hours for paramedics to reach him afterfalling ill with a stomach condition. injune, the wait was even longer. eight hours. that can't be. it's not the fault of the ambulance crews, it's not the fault of the front line, the coalface, the nurses, or anyone else like that, but there's got to be someone responsible. the man in charge of the ambulance service agrees it's an acceptable. agrees it's unacceptable. he's just called on the army to help them through winter. i need to apologise to all those patients who have waited longer than we would like for their ambulance in recent weeks and months. the pressure that we've been under has been sustained for a number of months now, not just through the pandemic but before that, too, as a result of pressure across the rest of the nhs. the frustration for paramedics is they are often unable to answer calls because they are already stuck outside an a&e unit and unable to hand over their patients into the care of the hospital. waiting times at emergency units in wales are now the worst on record, but, even before the pandemic, the four—hour target had never been hit. it is an extremely difficult time and, of course, i apologise to people within wales who have been waiting for such a long time. but this is an unprecedented time and, of course, we do hope that people will bear with us during this incredibly difficult and pressurised time. frontline staff say they feel like winter has already hit. many warn waiting times will become even worse in the months ahead. hywel griffiths, bbc news. the time is 1:17pm. our top story this lunchtime... the government has again warned that more energy companies are likely to go bust within the next few weeks. coming up, the six—year—old boy who was the only survivor of a cable car accident in italy and is now the focus of an international custody battle. coming up on the bbc news channel, anthonyjoshua says he will show opponent oleksandr usyk nothing but respect as he puts his three heavyweight titles on the line in london on saturday night. tenants are being evicted because of rent arrears built up over the pandemic, despite a government commitment that covid wouldn't leave anyone without a home. one third of eviction hearings monitored in england and wales over the summer stated covid as the reason rent hadn't been paid. our social affairs correspondent michael buchanan has the details. michael calder is a musician and, pre—pandemic, a guitar teacher. my work was all based around contact with people, in and out of people's houses daily. as he prepared for his son's birth, the country went into lockdown and his income plummeted. michael fell into rent arrears and has now been served with an eviction notice. it was kind of like weighing up, you know, when can i meet my rent, putting food on the table, you know, paying the bills, gas and electricity. and, bit by bit, the moneyjust decreased and decreased to the point where i did just end up in arrears. there was no way around it. since the ban on evictions was lifted, landlords have been rushing to county courts seeking permission for bailiffs to evict their tenants. of the 270 possession orders analysed by the bureau of investigativejournalism, a third of them, 88 cases, explicitly cited covid as the reason why rent arrears had arisen. what strikes you about sitting in the hearings is exactly how short they are. people are losing their homes in a matter of minutes and that is because the law is really clear. if you are in at least two months�* rent arrears, then the landlord will almost certainly get a possession order. onejudge told the bbc, however, that some tenants had taken advantage of the evictions ban and had simply refused to pay the rent. i had to wait six months... landlord michelle deighton is owed a fortune by tenants she can't get rid of due to the eviction ban and court delays. i'm still having to pay my mortgages, , look after the kids, mortgages, look after the kids, and it's just really frustrating that no one wants to give me an update on when i should get my own property back. ministers in westminster say they took unprecedented action to keep people in their homes, but, with the economy reopening, it is now time to deliver a fair rental market. what this investigation highlights, however, is that both landlords and tenants feel the system is not fair. michael buchanan, bbc news. employees in many parts of the uk could have the right to request flexible working, from their first day in a job. the government is looking at a range of options, such as compressed hours, job sharing and working from home. but trade unions sayjust being able to request flexible working isn't enough. our business correspondent esyllt carr is here. this is a consultation starting today? yes, today the government has set out its plan, how it plans to make it easier for people to work flexibly in england, scotland and wales. lots of people had been struggling to make their working patterns for their lives long before the pandemic, but the last 18 months has really changed the conversation about the way we work. so what are they proposing? everyone would have they proposing? everyone would have the right to ask for some kind of flexible arrangement on the first day of theirjob. at the moment, you have got to have been somewhere for six months before you can even start that conversation. the kind of thing you can ask for, it is notjust being able to work from home, it is things like going part—time, job sharing, compressed hours, so doing longer but perhaps fewer days and it is notjust office workers working from home, it could affect millions of people in all different kinds of industries. it is important to point out these plans only give workers the right to ask for flexible working, your boss can still say no but they would have to give a reason, which is a change from the current situation. but because the bosses can still say no, the tuc say these plans don't go far enough and they would like to see the rights for flexible working entrenched from day one, notjust the right to ask for it. but business leaders are supportive of this, they see this as a way to attract a more diverse workforce and, crucially, to keep people in theirjobs for longer and there is evidence that there is plenty more demand since the pandemic for more flexible jobs, so this looks likely to be a change that isn't going anywhere fast, it is one of those things that he's probably changed for good. esgiit probably changed for good. esyllt carr, probably changed for good. esyllt carr. thank _ probably changed for good. esyllt carr. thank you — probably changed for good. esyllt carr, thank you very _ probably changed for good. esyllt carr, thank you very much - probably changed for good. esyllt carr, thank you very much indeed. manufacturers will be forced to create a universal charging solution for phones and small

a cable car crash in italy which killed 1a people earlier this year. his parents, brother and great—grandparents all died in the disaster and his aunt, who lives in italy, was granted custody of the boy. but last week his maternal grandfather brought him to israel without her permission. yolande knell reports from tel aviv. a family day out at a beauty spot in northern italy turned into tragedy, back in may. a cable car took a deadly fall to the ground, tumbling down this slope. the parents and brother of six—year—old eitan biran were killed, and 11 others. his survival was hailed as a miracle, and he went to live with his paternal aunt, a doctor, in italy. so there was shock last week when his maternal grandfather visited and didn't return, instead taking the boy on a private plane to israel. you can get an idea of how much media attention there is around this boy's case. his relatives who brought him to israel have been defending their actions to journalists, trying to gain support in the court of public opinion. meanwhile, his italy—based family has said to us that this is alljust a nightmare. the boy's grandfather denies kidnapping him, and says he acted in his best interests. the boy's aunt doesn't agree and thinks he should stay here. she told us she was living a nightmare. today, a family once united by grief is locked in an acrimonious legal row, that challenges international conventions, to which israel and italy have signed up. a judge will now review the case, with another hearing set for next month. in the meantime, she is asking for steps to protect the six—year—old from further trauma. yolande knell, bbc news, tel aviv. contact training is to be drastically reduced across rugby union, in an attempt to prevent injuries and protect player

covid—19. some people have reported rashes and burns, despite using the same hair dye for years. the trade body is now urging professionals to carry out patch skin tests on all customers. frankie mccamley reports. for 15 years, gemma has been going to this salon in oswestry to get her hair dyed. hi! hi, gem, are you all right? despite using the same colour by the same brand, she said her skin changed after contracting coronavirus. so, you know, it was really itchy, really sore and, as it started to get worse, i was thinking, oh my goodness, i am actually reacting to this patch test. i felt a really hot, burning sensation behind my ear which progressively got worse, to the point where it had taken layers of skin from behind my ear. it was so, so painful and really scary, because i'd never experienced anything like that before. in south—east london, at charlotte barker's salon, one of her regular clients had a reaction so severe she had to call an ambulance. from the second i started applying, because her gown was slightly undone, ijust sort of noticed a rash creeping up her chest and then starting to creep upwards to her neck and then it was actually quite aggressive. i said to her, "do you feel ok?"
