the queen was due to hold an evening reception, one of the big moments in glasgow aside from the climate change talks. i glasgow aside from the climate change talks— glasgow aside from the climate chance talks. ~' ., ., , , change talks. i think the organisers ofthe change talks. i think the organisers of the summit _ change talks. i think the organisers of the summit will _ change talks. i think the organisers of the summit will be _ change talks. i think the organisers of the summit will be very - of the summit will be very disappointed. it is not a huge surprise. we knew this might be a possibility. i think i'm encouraged by the fact that we saw the queen today very engaged as she held two audiences with diplomats, one with the greek ambassador and one with the greek ambassador and one with the high commissioner to belize. and those were the regular length, and the queen was very engaged throughout. what we can clearly define from that is that there is no question of her being bedridden. i know she was having tests last week. she is still very much keen to get onto the regular duties. but i think the doctors have just decided that a trip to scotland, to a large conference center heaving with delegates, particularly as all eyes will be on her and her health, they just thought that was something she could do without.— could do without. imagine the reuular could do without. imagine the regular duties _ could do without. imagine the regular duties there. - could do without. imagine the regular duties there. is - could do without. imagine the regular duties there. is this i could do without. imagine the i regular duties there. is this just could do without. imagine the - regular duties there. is this just a sign of what might lie ahead, doing more of these virtual meetings with people?

well, the virtual meetings are a legacy of the pandemic. - people? well, the virtual meetings are a legacy of the pandemic. they| are a legacy of the pandemic. they came in a fairly early on. and the queen's really embraced technology, and it is really suited her very well. i mean, there are changes to her routine anyway, regardless of her routine anyway, regardless of her health. at the moment, buckingham palace is a building site. it is undergoing a major, once in a lifetime refurbishment programme, so she is down in windsor a lot. most government business carries on in london. i think we probably are going to see more of her doing stuff by zoom. but i think the really key thing, and i'm quite sure on the back of her mind she wants to be absolutely fine and fighting fit on november the 14th, which is remembrance sunday. that is the most sacred day in her calendar, and she wants to be at the cenotaph for the ”am service. i would very much expect to see her at that. but to go to glasgow, as i said, to stand in a room full of coughing, wheezing delegates from all over the world is probably an engagement too far. , , , , far. nevertheless, she will be disappointed _ far. nevertheless, she will be disappointed not _ far. nevertheless, she will be disappointed not to _ far. nevertheless, she will be disappointed not to be - far. nevertheless, she will be disappointed not to be at - far. nevertheless, she will be| disappointed not to be at such far. nevertheless, she will be i disappointed not to be at such a summit. ,, ,, ., , , summit. she will. she absolutely nets the summit. she will. she absolutely gets the importance _ summit. she will. she absolutely gets the importance of _ summit. she will. she absolutely gets the importance of it. - summit. she will. she absolutely gets the importance of it. it - summit. she will. she absolutely gets the importance of it. it was | gets the importance of it. it was only a couple of weeks ago, at the opening of the welsh parliament, where she was rather lamenting the fact that some people couldn't make up fact that some people couldn't make up their mind whether they were coming or not. she clearly gets the importance of it. we saw that in the summer when the g7 assembled in cornwall. the world leaders were down there stop the government at the time werejoking down there stop the government at the time were joking whether the queen might consider meeting one or two heads of government for a cup of tea at windsor and got the reply back, "no, don't worry, she wants to come down to cornwall. she helps that reception at the eden project for the world leaders. there is no lack of enthusiasm on her part. i think this is the medical side of the household, is leaning in a bit harder than usual and saying, "really, we know you would like to be there, and of course we would love to see her there." it would give enormous gravitas to this huge summit. but there are risks attached, whether it is going by train or plane up to scotland, and there are risks attached to being in a confined space with people flying in from all over the world. i think people understand... as your correspondent said, the queen will be making a video message to cop26. it is not as though she is not taking part in it. as we saw today, she will be taking part remotely. robert, great to see you. thank you forjoining us. and we'll find out how this story — and many others — are covered in tomorrow's front pages at 10:30 and 11:30 tonight, in the papers — joining me later arejenny kleeman, journalist and times radio presenter. and lucy fisher, deputy political editor at the telegraph. water companies are to have a new legal obligation to reduce the flow of untreated sewage into rivers and beaches during wet weather, after the government bowed to growing pressure from campaigners. the environment secretary, george eustice, has announced that legislation going through parliament is to be strengthened — with a new clause to be added to the environment bill. the bill has been debated this evening in the house of lords, before returning to the commons. let's hear more from mr eustice. when it comes to our environmental legislation, we are world leaders. we have had a reduction of over a0%. we have had a reduction of over a0%. we are the first country in the world to set a biodiversity target, to halt by 2030. when it comes to water quality, we are also acting. this government is the first government ever to give a clean instruction that we want to see a reduction in the use of these storm overflows. joining me know is the labour shadow enviroment secetary, luke pollard mp. your reaction to this? it's a start, isn't _ your reaction to this? it's a start, isn't it? _ your reaction to this? it's a start, isn't it? only— your reaction to this? it's a start, isn't it? only a few days ago, the government was telling us that doing more with— government was telling us that doing more with either too expensive, too difficult _ more with either too expensive, too difficult or— more with either too expensive, too difficult or not possible. now it seems — difficult or not possible. now it seems they have found the money, found _ seems they have found the money, found the _ seems they have found the money, found the will and found the energy to do— found the will and found the energy to do so _ found the will and found the energy to do so. and that is because of the pressure _ to do so. and that is because of the pressure that was put on them. when tory mps _ pressure that was put on them. when tory mps voted to allow the continued discharge of sewage into our rivers _ continued discharge of sewage into our rivers and seas, it caused an enormous — our rivers and seas, it caused an enormous public outcry, and rightly so. enormous public outcry, and rightly so we _ enormous public outcry, and rightly so. we should not be having a raw sewage _ so. we should not be having a raw sewage discharged into our rivers. we do _ sewage discharged into our rivers. we do need to see an end to it. although — we do need to see an end to it. although the adven announcement we have just _ although the adven announcement we have just heard from the barnet secretary — have just heard from the barnet secretary is a start, it doesn't give _ secretary is a start, it doesn't give a — secretary is a start, it doesn't give a clear— secretary is a start, it doesn't give a clear indication of when these — give a clear indication of when these discharges will be stopped, when _ these discharges will be stopped, when there will be proper investment. it seems to me what they have done _ investment. it seems to me what they have done today is enough to avoid a tory rebellion when the bill comes back to _ tory rebellion when the bill comes back to the house of commons in a few weeks' — back to the house of commons in a few weeks' time, but not enough to solve _ few weeks' time, but not enough to solve the _ few weeks' time, but not enough to solve the problem. what we need is action, _ solve the problem. what we need is action, not— solve the problem. what we need is action, notjust something to get the government out of a political trap they— the government out of a political trap they have found themselves in. the government initially pointed to the cost they can be passed onto consumers, and giving the rising costs elsewhere that we are all facing, how do you feel about that? well, the government used the range of "it well, the government used the range of "it could _ well, the government used the range of "it could cost between 150 billion — of "it could cost between 150 billion and 600 billion" in their excuses— billion and 600 billion" in their excuses as to where they did not want _ excuses as to where they did not want to— excuses as to where they did not want to do— excuses as to where they did not want to do it a few days ago, but if you look— want to do it a few days ago, but if you look at— want to do it a few days ago, but if you look at the information defra have _ you look at the information defra have but— you look at the information defra have put out this evening, they say they can _ have put out this evening, they say they can do — have put out this evening, they say they can do it for a 3 billion. someone _ they can do it for a 3 billion. someone has clearly not got their maths _ someone has clearly not got their maths right at defra along the way. what _ maths right at defra along the way. what we _ maths right at defra along the way. what we do know is that we are in the middle — what we do know is that we are in the middle of a climate and ecological crisis, and this needs to happen _ ecological crisis, and this needs to happen. that means the government needs— happen. that means the government needs to _ happen. that means the government needs to be — happen. that means the government needs to be requiring water companies to invest in closing these brought— companies to invest in closing these brought sewage outlets, to properly treat sewage, to make sure that we have a _ treat sewage, to make sure that we have a sewage system that is fit for the 21st _ have a sewage system that is fit for the 21st century and not keep making excuses— the 21st century and not keep making excuses as _ the 21st century and not keep making excuses as to why it is too difficult _ excuses as to why it is too difficult. we have made good progress on the campaign, and the house _ progress on the campaign, and the house of— progress on the campaign, and the house of lords is literally voting on the _ house of lords is literally voting on the measures to send back to the comments _ on the measures to send back to the comments at the moment, but the campaign — comments at the moment, but the campaign continues because we have made _ campaign continues because we have made some _ campaign continues because we have made some progress, but we are not yet there _ made some progress, but we are not yet there with the full commitment to end _ yet there with the full commitment to end the — yet there with the full commitment to end the routine discharge of raw sewage _ to end the routine discharge of raw sewage into our rivers, which is what _ sewage into our rivers, which is what the — sewage into our rivers, which is what the labour party and campaigners are really after. some still substantial _ campaigners are really after. some still substantial sums, _ campaigners are really after. some still substantial sums, whichever . still substantial sums, whichever you pick out. are you willing to see the rises in people's what your bills as a consequence of this, because that money has to be found from somewhere? it because that money has to be found from somewhere?— because that money has to be found from somewhere? it does, and water infrastructure — from somewhere? it does, and water infrastructure is _ from somewhere? it does, and water infrastructure is by _ from somewhere? it does, and water infrastructure is by and _ from somewhere? it does, and water infrastructure is by and large - from somewhere? it does, and water infrastructure is by and large paid - infrastructure is by and large paid for my— infrastructure is by and large paid for my water bill payers, but that is why— for my water bill payers, but that is why the — for my water bill payers, but that is why the priority kicks in. if the government wants to say to what are companies — government wants to say to what are companies that spend money for what your bills _ companies that spend money for what your bills every year for upgrades that the _ your bills every year for upgrades that the priority is stopping these raw sewage outlets rather than undertaking other projects, they can choose _ undertaking other projects, they can choose to _ undertaking other projects, they can choose to do that. let's be clear, for far— choose to do that. let's be clear, for far too— choose to do that. let's be clear, for far too long, water companies have _ for far too long, water companies have been— for far too long, water companies have been getting away with bumper profits _ have been getting away with bumper profits to _ have been getting away with bumper profits to shareholders at the same time as— profits to shareholders at the same time as not— profits to shareholders at the same time as not investing in closing these _ time as not investing in closing these raw— time as not investing in closing these raw sewage outlets, so there does need — these raw sewage outlets, so there does need to be a realignment and a re—prioritisation of spending. but we need — re—prioritisation of spending. but we need to— re—prioritisation of spending. but we need to do that soon because this climate _ we need to do that soon because this climate crisis we are in it's not going — climate crisis we are in it's not going away, and we need to make sure that we _ going away, and we need to make sure that we have _ going away, and we need to make sure that we have cleaner rivers and cleaner— that we have cleaner rivers and cleaner seas, because it is notjust a crisis _ cleaner seas, because it is notjust a crisis about carbon, it is a crisis — a crisis about carbon, it is a crisis about _ a crisis about carbon, it is a crisis about nature at the same time _ crisis about nature at the same time lets— crisis about nature at the same time. let's not forget that these raw sewage outlets, as well as discharging human effluents, are also responsible for a huge amount of plastic— also responsible for a huge amount of plastic pollution. people putting plastic— of plastic pollution. people putting plastic wet wipes and other things down _ plastic wet wipes and other things down their toilets, being discharged into our— down their toilets, being discharged into our rivers and seas as well. this— into our rivers and seas as well. this action _ into our rivers and seas as well. this action is _ into our rivers and seas as well. this action is long overdue, it's reguired. — this action is long overdue, it's required, but is not yet enough. and that is— required, but is not yet enough. and that is why— required, but is not yet enough. and that is why the campaign will continue _ millions of public sector workers will get a pay rise next year — the government says it will lift the pay freeze introduced last november and teachers and members of the armed forces are among those who will benefit. the increase won't be known until next spring and depends on recommendations from independent pay review bodies. the government won't confirm whether the pay rises will be above inflation. labour says tax and price rises mean families are facing a cost of living crisis. here's our political editor, laura kuenssberg. look very carefully. promises may not be exactly what they appear. it's nearly budget time and there are plenty of vows and pledges around. teachers in the classroom are just some of 2.5 million public sector staff who have had their pay frozen in england. that technical limit will disappear next year, welcome in this head's office. like everybody else in what have been really tight times, the fact that the cost of living has been going up and wages have not, will have affected everybody. specifically within schools, knowing the pay freeze has been there has meant that people have been adversely affected and you feel it on a day—to—day basis. before he's even back on the steps with the red box tomorrow, the chancellor has already come up with a long list of what sound like goodies. after the shock of the pandemic, it seems the economy is returning to something like normal with more vigour than expected. but the politician who wants the red box for labour says check the terms and conditions. are these pay rises going to match the rising cost of living with inflation, which look set to reach four or even 5%? and second, where does this money come from? will it come from the departmental budgets, orwill the chancellor pay for new money to pay for this welcome increase in public sector pay. the cash for extra wages will come out of each department's pot of money, rather than any extra from number 11, and the size of any wage rise is not set yet. the pay review bodies for nurses, police and teachers will go away, they'll consider over the next few months what is the appropriate recommendations to government. they will then recommend it to the chancellor and he will announce that early next year. we will not know for months how much extra teachers, firefighters, nurses or anyone else whose wages are paid by the taxpayer will actually get. and we will not know until tomorrow how much in total the chancellor wants to spend on the different parts of the public sector, whether that is education, defence, care or anything else. so much of what we have heard so far from the chancellor about the budget is political signalling and it is the small print when he is on his feet in the house of commons tomorrow that really counts. and the big headlines out there have already raised heads in here. this house will not be taken for granted. it's not right for everybody to be briefed. it is not more important to go on the news in the morning, it is more important to come here. but the chancellor has chosen to warm up for his big day with a canine audience. he may encounter a less relaxed one in the morning. laura kuenssberg, bbc news, westminster. let's speak now tojennie jones, who has been a teacher for over 20 years. good to see you. firstly, start by explaining how the pay freeze has affected you over the past year?

the recent ipcc report already showed that unless we reduce global carbon emissions by 45% by 2030, 100 months from now, we will not reach a 1.5 degree future. let's just return to that story we mentioned a couple of moments ago, regarding the outflows of raw sewage into rivers and coastal waters. luke pollard mp mentioned life here on the bbc news channel about the votes going through. the lords havejust voted in favour of the duke of wellington's amendment designed to curb those outflows of raw sewage into rivers and coastal waters. the votes were at 213 in favour, 60 against. the vote means the environment bill will now go back to the house of commons, where ministers tend to replace with their own version, which they say is better draughted. more on that this evening. the former conservative minister, 0wen paterson, has defended his conduct — after the parliamentary standards watchdog recommended that he be suspended from the commons for 30 days. in a report, the regulator said he'd "repeatedly" broken lobbying rules, while working as a paid consultant for two firms. but 0wen paterson denied doing anything wrong — saying he was trying to alert the authorities to carcinogenic substances in milk and ham. the former scotland, rangers and everton manager walter smith has died aged 73. over two spells at ibrox, he led rangers to ten top—flight titles, five scottish cups and six league cup wins. we can now speak to michael grant, who is scottish football correspondent for the times and covered walter smith's second spell at rangers, and his reign as scotland manager. michael, thank you forjoining us here on bbc news. he did it all, player, assistant, manager and chairman. he leaves behind quite a football legacy, doesn't he? he does leave behind — football legacy, doesn't he? he does leave behind quite _ football legacy, doesn't he? he does leave behind quite a _ football legacy, doesn't he? he does leave behind quite a big _ football legacy, doesn't he? he does leave behind quite a big legacy. - leave behind quite a big legacy. walter smith has been a towering figure in scottish football for the last 20—30 years, if you go right back to when he was at dundee united he was assistant manager when they won their one and only league title. he worked under alex ferguson. but of course he is synonymous first and foremost with the work that he did at rangers. he was the dominant managerialform at at rangers. he was the dominant managerial form at scottish football right through the 90s. bud managerial form at scottish football right through the 90s.— right through the 90s. and he manaued right through the 90s. and he managed some _ right through the 90s. and he managed some really - right through the 90s. and he managed some really decentl right through the 90s. and he - managed some really decent players. paul gascoigne at everton, ali mccoist. what was so special about his management style?

i think he had a lot of the attributes that the - a lot of the attributes that the great managers have in terms of substance and intelligence and tactical awareness, all of that sort of stuff. but i suppose the overarching ability that he had, or quality that he had come up with man management. what we see today is absolute droves of his former players coming out and eulogising about walter smith's personal qualities. in the past, paul gascoigne refer to him as his counsellor, which i think showed exactly the human touch that walter smith had with his players. they were not always an easy bunch to manage, but he was able to manage them. he manage, but he was able to manage them. ., ,., manage, but he was able to manage them. ., ., ., , ., them. he also had an eye for discovering — them. he also had an eye for discovering young _ them. he also had an eye for discovering young talent, - them. he also had an eye for| discovering young talent, too. amongst those tributes, wayne rooney calling it a sad day and saying that walter smith wanted to give him his debut at everton but because he was at school he wasn't allowed to do so. . at school he wasn't allowed to do so, ., . ., at school he wasn't allowed to do so. ., . ., ., ., so. yeah, he could have done with wa ne so. yeah, he could have done with wayne rooney _ so. yeah, he could have done with wayne rooney at _ so. yeah, he could have done with wayne rooney at everton, - so. yeah, he could have done with | wayne rooney at everton, because so. yeah, he could have done with i wayne rooney at everton, because it was a fickle kind of period at walter smith's career. it wasn't the success of rangers. he kept the proud record of being in the top flight going. we then came back and was a successful scotland international manager as well, before finishing his career at rangers. you know, it is not too strong to say that he is a widely loved digger in scottish football. the current rangers manager, steven gerard, saying today how much walter smith had helped him get to grips with that club and management position. a big loss for that club in particular. by, position. a big loss for that club in particular-— in particular. a huge loss, yet. when you _ in particular. a huge loss, yet. when you talked _ in particular. a huge loss, yet. when you talked earlier - in particular. a huge loss, yet. when you talked earlier about| when you talked earlier about legacy, there are no discussions about whether there should be a stand or a statue outside the ground, because that is the kind of reverence that he has held by the supporters and the club. i think either of those would be completely fitting. taste either of those would be completely fittinu. ~ ., ., ., fitting. we will have to leave it there. thank _ fitting. we will have to leave it there. thank you _ fitting. we will have to leave it there. thank you for _ fitting. we will have to leave it there. thank you for that. - there. thank you for that. remembering the former scotland, rangers manager, walter smith, who has died at the age of 73. japan's princess mako has married a commoner — and left the royal family. there was no shinto ceremony or big reception for the niece of the emperor. instead, she and herfiance went to the equivalent of the tokyo register office. the marriage was delayed by almost four years amid intense scrutiny and criticism of the match which took a mental toll on the princess. from tokyo, here's rupert wingfield—hayes. no grand wedding ceremony, no cheering crowds, just a very formal goodbye from princess mako to her parents. at first, her sister does the same, but then she steps forward for a very un—japanese hug. it was the most touching moment in what has been a strange day. a few minutes later, the now former princess was sitting before the media with her new husband, kei komuro. ever since their engagement, mr komuro's humble origins have been the target of japanese tabloids. in central tokyo, around 100 protesters gathered today, still demanding the marriage be called off. "we're marching today, because we don't want the imperial family to be involved in crimes," this woman says. the main accusation is that mr komuro's widowed mother owes £25,000 to a former lover. but the media frenzy has even extending to him daring to wear his hair in a ponytail. in britain, the fact that princess catherine is descended from coal miners is no longer a barrier to her one day becoming queen, but when it comes to the family that live in the palace behind my here, attitudes are still incredibly conservative, and a surprisingly large number ofjapanese people appear to have looked at mr komuro and his family background and decided he is just not suitable to marry a princess. but such attitudes could be driving the japanese imperial family towards extinction. princess mako's departure today leaves the family withjust 17 members, only four of whom are male. rupert wingfield—hayes, bbc news, in tokyo. now it's time for a look at the weather with darren. hello, there. it's going to stay a very mild in the next few days. temperatures today were widely 17 celsius. but we're also going to find some heavy rain in the next few days, particularly across some western areas. the southern uplands, cumbrian fells, northern pennines, and then into west wales. that heavy rain is going to lead to some flooding. we've had a lot of rain across scotland through the afternoon, early evening. that rain band then moves southwards overnight into northern ireland for a while, then down across the irish sea into the north—west of england. there will still be some fairly brisk south—westerly winds and a lot of cloud tonight. so it's going to be very mild. temperatures may be no lower than 13 or 1a degrees. we've still got that rain around. that will continue in a similar sort of areas during wednesday. it may affect northern ireland for a while, the rain pushing up into the central belt of scotland. towards the north—west, maybe some sunshine but a few sharp showers. south of our rain band, across a good part of england and wales, it will be dry and bright, there may be a bit of sunshine coming through. and we could find temperatures even higher than they were during today. hello and welcome to a bbc news special. we're taking a look at the long—term effects of the coronavirus pandemic on business. and this as the chancellor makes his finishing touches to tomorrow's budget. here is rishi sunak�*s customary pre—budget photo — the chancellor posing with his dog, nova. hopefully we'll find it more engaging than nova. well, over the next half an hour, we'll also look at what is being done to help businesses and the economy recover. joining me in the studio isjosie dent. she is the managing economist at the centre for economics and business research. also with us, lord karan bilimoria, president of the cbi — confederation of british industry — and founder and chairman of cobra beer. and we also have kate nicholls with us.
