and the oscar—winning british songwriter — leslie bricusse was behind some of cinema's best known tunes — has died aged ninety. welcome to our viewers on pbs in america and around the globe the select committee investigating january's attack on the united states' capitol has unanimously approved a report which recommends that steve bannon — a former aide to president trump — be held in contempt of congress. steve bannon refused to appear before the panel. the report says that he had specific knowledge of the events planned forjanuary the sixth before they happened. donald trump has urged former aides to reject it is shocking to me. shocking that anyone would not do anything in their power to assist our investigation. so it is a shame that mr manning has put us in this position but we won't take no for an answer. i've been speaking to our north america correspondent — david willis — and i asked him what he had learned from this vote. we learned that this committee is extremely determined to get to the bottom of the events on that fateful day, the 6th of january of this year when a mob of donald trump supporters staged an insurrection at the us capitol and they are pressing ahead with getting steve bannon to give testimony. testimony that he is seeking to avoid. giving to this committee on the grounds that there is executive privilege attached to the remarks and documents you might forward to them. i have to say that there is a feeling today that this is going to go all the way to the house vote later in the week and then perhaps be referred to the attorney general of the district of columbia and the us justice department. for him to be held potentially in contempt of congress. it is a milestone in the committee's work and this is a committee that is extremely determined to find out who knew what, what caused the insurrection and who ultimately should be to blame for it and to prevent it from happening again. 50 for it and to prevent it from happening again.— happening again. so the potential— happening again. so the potential here _ happening again. so the potential here is - happening again. so the potential here is that. happening again. so the

down in legal quagmire, if you like. this is intended more to send a message to other people that the committee wants to get the testimonial including downtown's former chief of staff. that it is not intending to mess around. it does not want these people to be able to hide behind the sort of legal shields. it wants to come forward and share anything they know about the events of that day. they believe that, steve bannon, for example, knew quite a bit in the run—up to the 6th ofjanuary. that a bit in the run—up to the 6th of january. that he was in contact with donald trump on the day in question. and that he had advance knowledge of some of the violence that was going to occur that day. north korea has confirmed it test—fired a new submarine—launched ballistic missile for the first time in two years. ballistic missile for we've received this image which we are unable to independently verify. north korean state media spoke of the pride and honour of having succeeded. earlier the south korean military reported that one missile had landed in waters off the coast of japan. the un security council are thought to be meeting later on wednesday — a move prompted by britain and the united states with the us in particular reacting angrily to the launch— labelling the move as a threat to the region. here's white house press secretaryjen psaki. we condemned the dprk's ballistic missile launch. these launches violate multiple un security council resolutions and our threat to the region. a call on the dprk to refrain from further provocations and engage in substantive dialogue and our commitment to the defence of the republic of korea and japan remains ironclad. these launches also underscore the urgent need for dialogue and diplomacy. our offer remains to meet anywhere, any time, without precondition. so this is north korea's fourth or fifth nuclear missile test in the past couple of months. and each time they have been testing seeing a variety of technologies being developed. today is a missile with advanced manoeuvring capabilities. all of this is showing that from a strategic and defence perspective north korea's defence provocation and arsenal is developing quite diversely and from a geopolitical perspective this is a way for the regime to get the attention of the united states and south korea so we have to really examine what kind of diplomacy we are trying to aim for. the biden administration has maintained the position that we are going to be open to talks that when you read a statement carefully there are conditions such as, of course, keeping the sanctions in place and being of human rights issues so diplomacy is notjust something that can be unconditional but were going to need to get north korea to cooperate and also take steps to show that it is actually about dialogue and denuclearisation. let s get some of the day s other news. it's been a lucky escape for 21 people aboard a plane that crashed shortly after taking off from

net emissions of greenhouse gases by 2050. it comes less than two weeks before it hosts the un climate summit in glasgow. it hopes this "green industrial revolution" will create thousands ofjobs. but environmental groups say the plans lack ambition. more from our science editor david shukman. every aspect of life is going to have to change as we go zero carbon. and now, after a long delay, the government is laying out its plans. and the key to it all is a belief that new green technologies will quickly become cheaper. the market is going green. and people know that we have the technological solutions to these problems and they want to go green. and they know that we'll be able, one day, to bring down the prices of green technology, evs and heat pumps and solar panels, in a way that we so rapidly made microwaves and mobile phones affordable. there's money to support electric cars and charging points, and car—makers will be told to sell a set number of clean vehicles. hydrogen gets a push, especially for heavy industry. it is a clean fuel, depending on how the gas is produced. and there's backing for new nuclear power stations, including at this site in suffolk, but the details aren't settled and critics say that none of this goes far enough. there is still a chasm with this government between the rhetoric and the reality. my fear is this plan will not deliver the fair, prosperous transition we need, equal to the scale of the emergency we face. it's very disappointing. amid all the arguments about tackling climate change, the goal is to reach net zero, but what is that? well, like every country, the uk emits carbon dioxide — the gas that's driving up temperatures. it comes from heating our homes, getting around, generating power. it's meant to fall dramatically by 2050, but if we don't get down to literally zero, we'll have to compensate by pulling carbon dioxide out of the air. the easiest way to do that is planting trees, but on a far bigger scale than we do right now. an obvious measure is better insulation. many experts want this given a bigger push. and the government's independent climate adviser says more needs to be spelled out. it's not a triple gold star. i mean, it's important to say that. we have a new plan for getting to net zero, and it looks like it's a more comprehensive one, but what we don't have, sadly, is all of the detail on how it's going to be delivered. the government was running out of time to announce its policies. hosting the cop26 climate summit in glasgow next month, it is in the global spotlight. every week at this time we take a look climate change 7 bringing you stories with big implications for our planet s future. this week, we focus on geoengineering using technology to try to undo or repair the damage to our climate — on a massive scale. some scientists say that even with drastic cuts in co2 emissions — preventing catastrophic climate change may be impossible(gfx 00v) without action to cool our planet right now. projects could include, carbon capture — capturing c02 from the air or from industrial emissions. 0cean fertilisation adding iron to oceans to boost the growth of c02—consuming plankton. solar reflection blocking sunlight by seeding the upper atmosphere with reflective particles — or sending giant mirrors into space. cloud brightening spraying salt from oceans into the air — creating whiter clouds that reflect more heat. and land management covering deserts, ice sheets and rooftops with reflective material, or genetically—modifying lighter crops that absorb less heat. but 7 are these massive projects realistic? and might they have unforeseen 7 potentially disastrous consequences7 these are not the sort of things you want to be using to tackle climate change. they're certainly not the go to line of defence. they're not the first thing you think about. we to cut c02 thing you think about. we to cut co2 emissions. that is steps one to ten. and maybe then we ought to be thinking about what else is out. are you saying we have got steps 1—10 to do but that might not be enough. it may not be faster now than we might have to take some of the slightly more wacky ideas seriously7 just some of the slightly more wacky ideas seriously?— ideas seriously? just to be clear. steps _ ideas seriously? just to be clear. steps 11-15 - ideas seriously? just to be clear. steps 11-15 r - ideas seriously? just to be | clear. steps 11-15 r change. ideas seriously? just to be - clear. steps 11-15 r change. we clear. steps 11—15 r change. we have to do that too. and, yes, on top of that there may be these other technologies out there. and to be clear there are two very different things talking about. carbon removal. sucking c02 out of thin air is often called geoenigineering but for the most part it is expensive medication. there are cheaper ways of cutting c02 cheaper ways of cutting co2 emissions and we had to do that and then maybe in addition to get to net zero overall, we may also want to look into taking c02 out of the atmosphere. and then on top of all of that comes geo— engineering. so comes geo- engineering. so let's look — comes geo— engineering. so let's look at that. this idea fitting for example particles up fitting for example particles up in space or mirrors urban space to reflect the sunlight back out and keep the planet cooler. could that work? it does. it did. volcanoes have been basically doing this forever. so when it erupted in the philippines in 91, in 1992 ironically at the time of the very first earth summit when 180 or so heads of state came to vienna to talk about achieving a sustainable future for the planet the global average temperatures were around half a degree centigrade cooler than they would have been without this volcanic eruption. been without this volcanic emption-_ been without this volcanic emption-— eruption. that made a big difference _ eruption. that made a big difference but _ eruption. that made a big

and, to be clear, this was a massive volcano. and that impact did not last. thankfully, in many ways. temperatures have been rising ever since. unfortunately, temperatures have been rising eversince. unfortunately, but ever since. unfortunately, but that eversince. unfortunately, but that said, do we know, we think we know that adding small reflective particles into the lower stratosphere the upper atmosphere would cool the planet? yes. because of planet7 yes. because of volcanoes. we will see those ideas are needed. stay with us. still to come. clothing belonging to another word's most

donald trump, be held in contempt, is approved by us lawmakers investigating january's riot on capitol hill. more on that story now — the vote by the congressional committee investigating the events of january the sixth to recommend that steve bannon be held in contempt of congress. what is contempt of congress — and has this happened before? well one man who might be able to answer those questions is allan lichtman — historian at the american university. hejoins us live from washington. people may be ahead of contempt of court and this is slightly different. contempt of congress. talk through it. it is actually similar to contempt of court. it is when congress votes that someone has violated a lawfully issued congressional subpoena and if a personal appearance or the delivery of documents or both. and it has happened quite frequently particularly in recent years. tends to be the consequence? nothing for the most part. the attorney general was held in contempt. but congress has won power. it has not used it since the 1930s but i recommend they do and that is the power without going to the department ofjustice of the courts, congress can actually arrest someone who defies a lawful subpoena and this happened during the scandal of the 1920s when officials were selling government property for profit. and congress subpoenaed the brother of the attorney general who was arrested. the case went to the supreme court and in 1927 the supreme court said yes, congress can enforce legal subpoenas on its own. i think it is time for congress to advise that power. because we saw the supreme of the president's former counsel. a case about tax are still being dragged through the courts but instantly congress can invoke. that is what you would like but i'm guessing the chances are not particularly high?- i'm guessing the chances are not particularly high? yes. you know. drastic— not particularly high? yes. you know. drastic times _ not particularly high? yes. you

collaborators to write the james bond themes �*goldfinger�* and �*you only live twice' — and he also won two 0scars. the bbc�*s tim allman looks back at his life and career. you may not know the name that you will definitely know his songs. leslie bricusse, lyricist and composer, was behind some of the most well—known and beloved film music of the last 60 years. confirming his death in social media, his friend joan collins said one of the giant songwriters of our time so they died. i will miss him terribly. sentiment echoed by singer elaine paige tweeted she was shocked and saddened by the news. describing him as one of our great songwriters. and nancy sinatra said my heart is aching today because one of the loves of my life is gone. leslie bricusse was born in london in 1931. in a career spanning more than seven decades he co—wrote the theme to two james bond films, won two oscars and a grammy and was involved in the writing of more than 1000 songs. in his memoir he said he was

there for some of us for a late october night. 15—16 celsius, and wednesday promises to be another mild day. quite breezy and lots of showers in the forecast, too. 0ur tropical air arrived a couple of days ago, it's still with us, it was very warm yesterday in the south—southeast, 21 celsius — we won't quite get that today, but i want to show you the origins of this current of air, so this is the north atlantic and it's all very warm air across the atlantic, and here we have the caribbean. so this is where the air has come from — it's obviously cooled, but it's still pretty balmy over this part of europe. now this is what it looks like early in the morning — there is some rain around, a wet start to the day in east anglia and the southeast, lots of heavy showers approaching cornwall, devon, parts of wales, too. in fact, these are heavy, thundery showers — and through the morning and into the afternoon, they could bring gusts of wind, as well, but some sunny spells, so quite a changeable day for england and wales. but for northern ireland and most of scotland, it should be dry and bright — but notice in the northwest highlands here, some wet weather come the afternoon. so i say mild again, 18 celsius expected in the southeast and east anglia. now into the week, or thursday onwards, it'll turn quite a bit colder — in fact, a reversal in the wind direction is expected wednesday into thursday. in fact, around this area of low pressure, the winds will start to come in from the north. now right now at this moment, the winds are coming in from the south or southwest. on thursday, they're coming in almost from the north — this is arctic air, in fact, some of the showers across scotland could be wintry, the winds will be strong anyway particularly along the north sea coast, touching gale force. i mean, gusts inland will be around a0 mph or so, so it'll feel relatively cold compared to what we've got right now. and these are the temperatures, the high temperatures on thursday —11—13 in the south, single figures in the north, and once again, wintry showers are possible across the mountains of scotland. now thursday night into friday, the wind dies down as the low pressure pulls away, and in fact a high pressure develops across the uk briefly in what we call a ridge of high pressure. there'll be some sunshine around, as well, but it won't feel quite so cold on friday because the winds will be lighter, still only around 13 celsius. this is bbc news, the headlines: the select committee investigating january's attack on the united states'
