when global leaders meet for climate summits, as they're preparing to do in glasgow in ten days�* time, a special effort is always made to create the appearance of unity. but whether everyone really is singing from the same hymn sheet remains an open question. a leaked trove of documents seen by the bbc reveals that a number of countries have been privately lobbying the intergovernmental panel on climate change in an attempt to influence the conclusions they have drawn. saudi arabia, japan and australia are among those countries that have asking the un to play down the need to move rapidly away from fossil fuels. brazil and argentina, two of the biggest producers of beef products, argue strongly against the evidence that moving to a plant—based diet is necessary to cut greenhouse gas emissions. our climate editor justin rowlatt reports. the clock is ticking on tackling climate change. the science says unless we start making dramatic cuts to emissions now, we risk very serious consequences. world leaders will be meeting here in glasgow for a crucial climate conference in just ten days. yet leaked documents seen by the bbc show some countries are pressuring the un to change its message on the options for tackling the challenge. saudi arabia, australia and japan are arguing the world doesn't need to reduce fossil fuel use as quickly as the un suggests. "delete the claim that the focus for the energy sector should be actively phasing out fossil fuels," saudi arabia tells the un scientists. one aim of the glasgow conference is to phase out coal, but india once it expects it to remain the mainstay of energy production for decades. meanwhile, brazil and argentina ask that the evidence that eating meat can help cut greenhouse gas emissions be watered down. the leak consists of thousands of comments by governments and others to the scientists responsible for a key un report. they were given to greenpeace uk, which passed them on to the bbc. i think the comments of these countries demonstrates the depth to which they will go to try and halt progress in tackling climate change. these un science reports, and this is just one part of three, are pretty much the bible of climate science. they're used by governments to decide how to tackle climate change, and they will provide a crucial input to the negotiations in glasgow. scientists who've helped compile these reports say the un science is objective. there is absolutely no pressure on scientists to accept the comments. so, if the comments are lobbying, if they're notjustified by the science, they will not be integrated in the ipcc report. the world has experienced some of the most extreme weather ever recorded in recent years. there've been terrible floods, including in china, and ferocious wildfires in australia and right around the world. it means, says a veteran of many international negotiations, that most world leaders do understand what is at stake in glasgow. people can see the effects of climate change. - this is all about understanding that even though the challenge - is immense, there really isn't i an alternative to dealing with it. because within my lifetime even, | and certainly in your generation, | the generation coming up below. you is going to be living with this. glasgow wants to show its best face to the world for this conference. it could well be the biggest gathering of world leaders in british history. christiana figueres will be there. she's environmental royalty, having played a crucial role in previous climate summits. she says it is vital that governments are involved in the review process. everybody�*s voice has to be there. that's the whole purpose. this is not a single thread, this is a tapestry woven by many, many threads. but there is no time to waste. every second, more carbon dioxide is building up in the atmosphere. what the world needs now is ambition. justin rowlatt, bbc news. ellen wald is the author of saudi inc, a book about the oil economy in saudi arabia. she is a senior fellow at the atlantic council and joins us from jacksonville. good happy with us. sunlight shows what some of governments really think. should we be surprised, the extent of mbappe? i think. should we be surprised, the extent of mbappe?_ extent of mbappe? i really don't think they should _ extent of mbappe? i really don't think they should be _ extent of mbappe? i really don't think they should be surprised i extent of mbappe? i really don't| think they should be surprised at all. and it really by the countries that are doing to it's pretty obvious that fossil fuel producing countries want to continue to produce fossil fuels. this countries want to continue to produce fossilfuels. this is how i make a lot of money. there is definitely a financial incentive to settle the office should not be surprised that fossil fuel consuming countries, particularly those that produce a lot of call, are also lobbying because that's beneficial to their economies as well that they are able to continue to purchase fossil fuels at inexpensive process. it's really not having any effect on the science, what is in the bible as adjusting calls that come of the reports, but what about when i go into the room at the start of the summit next week? that crucial meeting that will set the tone of the next two weeks. for that sort of lobbying have an effect there? i think it is exactly applicant is a crucial time when that kind of lobbying could actually have a big effect because we are currently experiencing an energy crisis right now where countries are actually having to revert from cleaner sources of fossil fuels like natural gas to dirtier ones like calljust to keep the lights on. and so the role of fossil fuels is suddenly thrust into the spotlight, that if we want to maintain our lifestyle, we want to maintain our lifestyle, we want to provide reliable electricity to everyone at all times, then fossil fuels are part of that picture. and i think a lot of these countries are coming to be making that case at the negotiations because recommending that you just get rid of fossil fuels and replace it with renewables will not provide the kind of reliable electricity that we are used to. i’m the kind of reliable electricity that we are used to.— that we are used to. i'm not underestimating _ that we are used to. i'm not underestimating the - that we are used to. i'm not underestimating the scale l that we are used to. i'm not| underestimating the scale of that we are used to. i'm not - underestimating the scale of the problem oriented the size of the challenge, but tony blairjust said there really is no other alternative because the countries you're about that are switching from oil to dirtier fuels like that are switching from oil to dirtierfuels like coal, that are switching from oil to dirtier fuels like coal, those of the same countries that if we missed the same countries that if we missed the 1.53 target and it's nearer to two or three degrees, they are going to face some cataclysmic conditions and not a very long period of time, in the next ten years. yet and not a very long period of time, in the next ten years.— in the next ten years. yet as a --eole in the next ten years. yet as a peeple that — in the next ten years. yet as a people that they _ in the next ten years. yet as a people that they are _ in the next ten years. yet as a people that they are just - in the next ten years. yet as a people that they are just not l people that they are just not entitled to electricity and heat and transportation on demand. those are the choices that we have, and it's the choices that we have, and it's the reality of a situation that we are in, unless we suddenly build massive numbers of nuclear power plants, which does not sin to be on any one's agenda. it may be more beneficial to actually face the reality of the situation as opposed to saying we are going to somehow eliminate all these fossil fuels and replace them with a tonne of renewables that so far in our current technology do not provide reliable electricity. if you want to try to select the people and what that means for their lives, that is one tactic to take. but to create these kind of goals that are really unachievable, i think is maybe less meaningful. look at president vladimir putin of russia, who is our jewel of the world path that most important man in natural gas right now. he does not even want to have anything to do with this. ida. now. he does not even want to have anything to do with this.— anything to do with this. no, but he is sendin: anything to do with this. no, but he is sending quite _ anything to do with this. no, but he is sending quite a _

coming so they will be represented. thank you very much indeed for that. another country caught up in the lobbying effort is brazil, one of the biggest producers of beef products and animal feed in the world. behind the scenes, the brazilian government has been lobbying scientists to water down evidence that the world needs to move to a plant—based diet, not that that they have been entirely successful in that. the most recent ipcc report says "plant—based diets can reduce greenhouse gas emissions by up to 50% compared to the average emission—intensive western diet". according to the leak, brazil was arguing that that was incorrect. they wanted the authors to delete or change some passages in the text relating to "plant—based diets". brazil, which has seen significant increases in the rate of deforestation in the amazon, also disputes the reference to this being a result of recent changes in government regulation, claiming it is incorrect. tabata amaral is a federal deputy of

donald trump, steve bannon. the us house of representatives has voted to approve contempt of congress charges against mr bannon for refusing to co—operate with an inquiry into the storming of the us capitol injanuary. the house voted 229—202 to hold mr trump's former aide in contempt, with nine republicans voting yes. the issue will now be referred to thejustice department. we'll be bringing you more on this story in the next 20 minutes. a 25—year—old man has been charged with murder and the preparation of terrorist acts after the fatal stabbing of the mp sir david amess. ali harbi ali from north london was arrested following the attack in essex last friday. sir david, who had been a conservative mp for almost a0 years, died at the scene. our home affairs correspondent daniel sandford reports. just over six days after sir david amess, mp, was stabbed to death in leigh—on—sea, the man accused of murdering him was brought to court. the crown prosecution service had authorised counterterrorism detectives to charge him this morning. in the dock at westminster magistrates�* court, ali harbi ali wore a grey sweatshirt and trousers and black—rimmed glasses. he spoke to confirm his name, date of birth and his address in kentish town in north london. and then sat silently for the hearing, which lasted less than a quarter of an hour. sir david was killed in an office at the back of the belfairs methodist church halljust after midday on friday. he'd been meeting voters as part of a constituency surgery. police officers and paramedics who'd rushed to the scene were unable to save him. a large team of detectives have been working around the clock to find out as much as we can about what happened and why. that work has included searches of a number of london addresses. 0ur advanced forensics teams have analysed digital devices and carried out a painstaking review of cctv footage. ali harbi ali, seen here walking in the direction of gospel 0ak station in north london on the day of the murder, was arrested at the church hall in leigh—on—sea. detectives say they're not looking for anyone else. the head of the crown prosecution service's counterterrorism division said... ali harbi ali is a british citizen who was born in south london and grew up in croydon. as well as the murder of sir david amess, he's accused of preparing a terrorist act. it's alleged that on reconnaissance trips earlier this year, he went to the address of one mp several times and the constituency surgery of another. he also went to the house of commons. after the hearing, he was taken away to prison, where he'll be held until his next appearance at the old bailey tomorrow. stay with us on bbc news. still to come, we'll have the latest from florida, where investigators are leading a search for the missing fiance of murdered us blogger gabby petito. the fbi says its found human remains in a nature reserve. the uk government has been accused not doing enough to stop the spread we're continuing with the plan that we set out injuly, which was itself an extension of the road map that began in february. and, yes, we're watching the numbers very carefully every day, and, yes, you're absolutely right, tracey, the numbers of infections are high. but we're within the parameters of what the predictions were, what spi—m and the others said where would be at this stage given the steps that we've taken. so, we're sticking with our plan. i think the most important thing people can do now is just get that booster jab. more shots in there and sorry we had a few technical problems but the prime minister respond to criticism today from the bma that he should be doing more to limit the spread of covid—19 in england and boris johnson say the government is taking things seriously and there is no complacency. welcome back. the fbi is working on the assumption they have found fugitive brian laundrie, who was wanted in connection with the murder of his girlfriend, gabby petito. human remains were found yesterday in the carlton reserve in florida close to a backpack and a notebook that police have confirmed did belong to laundrie, but there are other questions. the body was found on the first day that laundrie's parents, chris and roberta, had joined the search, which has led to speculation that maybe they knew more about his whereabouts than they were letting on. many have speculated the timing of the discovery was suspicious. a claim the family's lawyer has dismissed as "hogwash". let's bring in former fbi agent rj toledo. good to have you with us. what questions where you left with after the reporting yesterday? hi. the reporting yesterday? hi, kristen, the reporting yesterday? h , kristen, thanks for having me. this is a very clear case and it seems like every day something new and unusual pops up also the fact that the parents decided to get involved in the search and so quickly were led directly to find something of interest was very coincidental and interest was very coincidental and in this arena, coincidences are hard to come by. so we have a lot of questions. br; to come by. so we have a lot of questions-— to come by. so we have a lot of

he was not carrying a bag, but not very long after going into the reserve, he comes across the dry bag that belong to his son and then shortly after that, they found the remains. with a background to it is they had been looking for brian laundrie for five weeks and coincidentally they find him on the first day that they joined the search. as you say, it just looks suspicious. extremely. recall

bit. so it's possible that whatever it was underwater for a while has somehow appeared now. but again that does not answer the question how the father knew exactly where to go after so much searching has happened, specifically the canines have searched that whole area and not detected a cent. so this is a lot of questions opened up about how great of a searcher he was on the very first day.— on the very first day. well, go on, then, as on the very first day. well, go on, then. as an _ on the very first day. well, go on, then, as an fbi _ on the very first day. well, go on, then, as an fbi

out and maybe he had committed suicide but maybe it's time for them to go in and pinpoint the investigators to where they are imagining that his belongings would be an kind to bring this whole thing

poland's top court ruled that the country's national constitution trumps european law, which is a problem. the commission says it's undermining the very foundations of the eu's legal order", in which eu law takes primacy. 0ur correspondentjessica parker is in brussels. they've had eu leaders arrive here today. they've had a lot on their agenda — energy prices, coronavirus. my understanding is they've only just now at the european council here in brussels got round to rule the law discussion, something that actually wasn't even on the original agenda, but because of growing pressure, particularly certain members states, it has now popped up. i think the polish prime minister, mateusz morawiecki, is going to be invited to take the floor to explain his position. we've heard what his position is over the course of the last week, so it seems likely that he will restate that, although of course sometimes in the privacy of a room where he's there with other political leaders rather than in front of the cameras, who knows, maybe things will be different. but it is just something that's supposed to be touched upon at the european council, so how long this discussion goes on for, how heated it gets and whether it can really resolve anything, i think there's some big question marks around that. jessica parker is watching the summit forest there in brussels. if you're going to steal someone's phone, rule number one is to make sure that the phone isn't being used by a journalist for a live broadcast when you commit the crime, because you might inadvertently end up broadcasting your face and identity live to thousands of viewers. and that is allegedly what happened in cairo to this man accused of stealing a reporter's phone while the reporter was live on air. according to egyptian media, the man was arrested after the broadcast went viral. in fact, 6.2 million people watching him speed away. stay with us, more good evening. after the very mild weather we've seen at times this week and the real deluge that some had to contend with last night, today, it's been a very different sort of day with sunny skies for many. quite a cold feel to the weather, but there's the curl of cloud that brought very heavy rain to parts of the south during last night, clearing away eastwards. in its wake, you can see some speckled shower clouds pushing down from the north, and that northerly or northwesterly wind has been feeding some rather chilly air across the uk. so, yes, it has felt quite cold out there, even given some sunshine, and there've been some showers around as well. some of those showers over high ground in scotland have been wintry. now, the wintry element to those showers tending to ease off, but some rain showers will continue to drift southwards as we go through tonight with more in the way of cloud as well. clearest of these skies down towards the south east of england. that's where we'll see the lowest temperatures, maybe down to two degrees in a few places. and for tomorrow, i think we will generally see a bit more cloud in the mix, that cloud producing some showers at times, but those showers will tend to become fewer and further between as the day wears on. the cloud will have some breaks in it, so there will be some sunny spells. best of the sunshine, i think, to be found across north—eastern parts of scotland. the winds will slowly ease as the day wears on, but it will still be quite breezy, breezy enough up to the northeast to make it feel really rather chilly again at eight or nine degrees. a little bit milder than today down towards the south and the west of the uk — 12—14 degrees. so, this little ridge of high pressure builds in through the latter part of friday. that's what's drying things out, killing off the showers. but into saturday, this frontal system starts to approach from the west, and as that front approaches our shores, ahead of it, the winds start to come up from the south. that change in the wind direction will bring a change in the feel of the weather. milder conditions return on saturday with a lot of cloud. best of any sunshine in the east, that weather front bringing rain to parts of northern ireland and western scotland, particularly where it will also be quite windy. but the southerly wind bringing those milder conditions, so temperatures by this stage 12

that there is such a place where you don't have to pretend. it's an island in the middle of the south atlantic ocean — a british overseas possession called saint helena. the population isn't huge — 6,500 — but its isolation has meant it has reported zero, yes, zero community cases of covid—19. the few cases there have been have all been among arriving passengers, and all of them were caught in quarantine, so there's been no community spread. right now, flights reach the island once every three weeks, so it's not somewhere you can go for quick weekend break. mattjoshua is head of tourism for saint helena. he told me that the collapse of tourism to the island has been difficult for its economy. this has meant that many businesses have been closed, including the two biggest hotels on the island. economically, the last 18 months... we've remained covid free, so that is to say no community spread. we had one or two positive cases, no severe symptoms, but we've been at the doldrums. i’m

watching here. the ten o'clock news is coming very shortly and laura will be here for world viewers. thanks for watching. hello again. thursday was a much chillier kind of day, but there was plenty of sunshine to be found. sunny skies here in redcar and cleveland, with the brisk winds travelling across the north sea, whipping up some sea spray. now, this year, this autumn's been very, very mild. it's been quite unusual to see a day with temperatures below average, but that's what we have on thursday, with temperatures dropping from 19 in heathrow on wednesday to 12 or so through thursday afternoon. now, looking at friday's forecast, we're looking at this strip of cloud that'sjust getting into northern scotland. that's this occlusion you can see here. it's going to be sliding its way southwards while working out into the north sea. ridge of high pressure across western areas. between and betwixt, we have northwesterly winds bringing a lot of cloud and showers to north—western areas. now, the showers are going to be really quite frequent for north west england, around cheshire, merseyside, greater manchester, north wales and the north west midlands. so much so that it's probably going to be quite cloudy and even damp for some across these areas. but otherwise, sunny spells around again, but with a bit more cloud than we had on thursday. temperatures similar, though — highs between 9—16 degrees celsius. now, through friday evening and overnight, those showers will tend to fade away. we'll initially have some clear spells, and then we'll start to get south—westerly winds picking up. so, it will start to turn a bit milder across western areas through the night, but that is likely to leave some mist and fog patches falling around our coasts and hills. so, might be quite a murky start to saturday across some of the western and southern coasts and hills in particular. through saturday, though, this milder air is going to be pushing its way in. it's also going to be bringing some rain to northern ireland — there's a weather front moving in here — and the rain getting into western scotland as well. otherwise, a murky start with mist and fog patches. could keep some of those over the high ground even into the afternoon, but for central and eastern areas, should brighten up with some sunny spells poking through the cloud. temperatures are rising. we're looking at highs between 13—15 degrees celsius. these temperatures across northern areas are again pushing back above average for the time of year. on into sunday's forecast, generally it's a showery kind of day. the showers are going to be most frequent across north—western areas where it's likely to be quite cloudy. the best of any sunshine and breaks in the cloud more for eastern areas, eastern areas of scotland, probably north east england the favoured spots for seeing sunny skies. temperatures about 13—15 degrees celsius. then into monday, we've got this pattern in the jet stream. this here is a trough, this dip you can see here, and that's going to encourage showers to form on monday. now, initially, those showers are likely to form across western areas of the uk on monday because that's where the trough is, but through the day, as it pushes eastward, so those showers will migrate to eastern areas of scotland, probably into parts of eastern england, particularly the south east of england, where some of them could be quite heavy, perhaps an odd rumble of thunder. temperatures between 11—15 degrees celsius. 1a is about average for this stage of october in london. now, beyond that, deeper into next week, well, we are going to have south—westerly winds. we will have a weather front bringing some potentially prolonged outbreaks of rain with the risk of some localised flooding building in, with high rainfall totals likely across some of our western mountains. however, there's uncertainty about exactly where the heaviest rain is going to be. however, it will be mild, it will be quite windy through much of next week. that's your latest weather. bye for now. tonight at ten — the man accused of killing the conservative mp sir david amess appears in court charged with murder and the preparation of terrorist acts. ali harbi ali, who's 25 and a british national, was said to have carried out reconnaissance on other mps and on the houses of parliament. sir david was repeatedly stabbed as he met constituents in essex last friday and he died at the scene. we will continue to build our case. if there are members of the public who have further information that might help the investigation, i would urge them to come forward. the suspect will be brought to the old bailey tomorrow. also on the programme... the public is urged to get booster jabs as the daily number of new infections surges to more than 50,000. saudi arabia is among the countries accused of trying to change a major report calling for less reliance on fossil fuels.
