she has been saying that it could be weeks. it could indeed be months. from what she has been saying this is a complex investigation and an unusual investigation and an unusual investigation on a film set. the authorities are determined to take their time to interview everyone and look at all the evidence. we are expecting later on wednesday and is convinced by the police. they've only had i so far in the hours after this incident. the united states has revoked china telecom's licence to operate in the country, citing national security concerns. the chinese state owned entity has 60 days to dismantle its us operations, a decision that could reignite tensions between the two powers. so who are they? — china telecom america is a subsidiary of a state owned entity, which has over 335 million subscribers world wide. data services, vpns, cloud and mobile networks are among its offerings in the us. the federal communications commission says its main target however are chinese—americans, and chinese students, business people and tourists. the regulator's report found that the company was a serious security risk, as it could be forced to comply with orders from beijing without any judicial oversight from washington. now china telecom have asserted they're an independent corporate entity, not a tool of chinese intelligence. i put this to former cia technology analyst martijn rassler. all the national laws in china are very explicit and the fact that any chinese entity operating either domestically or overseas has to comply with any request from the chinese government to include participating in any law enforcement or espionage activities. right back in terms of risk, can you explain where the risks would lie? there is 2 main areas. i, of course, is the fact that this company become a vector for cyber attacks on us networks. the other issue is that it is a conduit for espionage. anyi of conduit for espionage. any i of the conduit for espionage. anyi of the devices that are connected to the company's network can be used to track people so, yeah, the risks are quite significant.- the risks are quite significant. the risks are quite siunificant. ., , , ., significant. how big is china telecom within _ significant. how big is china telecom within the - significant. how big is china telecom within the us?

"every drop of my blood will contribute to the growth of this nation." after 46 years of unhappiness, these two countries have concluded a chapter of history. no more suspicion, no more fear, no more

over his handling of the pandemic. new details emerge over the fatal shooting on the alec baldwin film set — the gun used was a real one, and criminal charges aren't ruled out. every week at this time we take a look climate change ? bringing you stories with big implications for our planet 5 future. today in climate critical, we re looking at the urgency of the climate crisis and why the global cop26 summit is so important. it begins in glasgow in a few days time is ? many call it the last, best chance to avoid a climate catastrophe. massive and immediate cuts in co2 emissions are needed ? and yet this year saw the second—largest increase in history. if we continue emitting carbon at this rate ? we have just seven years before chances of restricting warming to 1.5 degrees become increasingly unlikely. this is ? according to science ? the decade the climate battle will be won or lost. i m joined now by the author and environmentalist bill mckibben — one of the first to warn of the dangers of global warming and leader of one of the world s most successful climate campaigns — 350.org his latest book is falter: has the human game begun to play itself 0ut? a depressing title

aboutjust the planet right now and not be worried. think about just the last few weeks on planet earth. i was in new york city a month ago and we had the biggest rainstorm in that city's history. it broke the record that had been set 11 days earlier. yesterday in california 3 days after the end of the driest i2 california 3 days after the end of the driest 12 month period ever recorded was the largest rainstorm in california history. 2 weeks ago we had the biggest rainstorm in the history of europe in italy. these are the kind of things now that happen every day and are symptoms of a planet that is in violent chaotic flux. with melted most of the sea ice in the summer arctic which is thejet stream in in the summer arctic which is the jet stream in the gulf stream out of kilter. we have ordered things in fundamental levels and as you say, we have but a few years to keep that from getting so out of control that our ability to have the civilisations we're used to will be culled deeply into question. it will be culled deeply into question-— question. it is a dismal picture _ question. it is a dismal picture and _ question. it is a dismal picture and most - question. it is a dismal. picture and most people question. it is a dismal- picture and most people will see that. on a day—to—day basis they see it on telly all the time now and it is seeping in. at the same time, we have the vast majority of countries renewing their commitments and extending their commitments to pushing back on c02 extending their commitments to pushing back on co2 emissions. get internet 0 x 2050 or mid century and that is what everyone was hoping for in paris 5 or 6 years ago so surely things are going in the right direction?— right direction? there is no question — right direction? there is no question that _ right direction? there is no question that sometime . right direction? there is no | question that sometime this century will run the planet on sun and wind. it is now the cheapest form of power on earth and the problem is that if it takes is 30 or a0 years together than the planet will be a broken planet and that is just for the fossil fuel industry is proposing. they are industry is proposing. they are in an all—out effort to get their business model extended for another couple of decades. you can see it in the united states where they are pushing hard to prevent real climate action and you can see it in brazil, you can see it in russia. the incident in saudi arabia, you can see it in many, many places around the world. many of these fossil fuel companies and huge companies as they are also investing ever more billions into renewables, into non— fossilfuel more billions into renewables, into non— fossil fuel energy opportunities, let's put it that way. and you probably have to recognise you cannot turn the taps of overnight. you cannotjust the taps of overnight. you cannot just stop the taps of overnight. you cannotjust stop using: stop using oil and stop using gas overnight. i using oil and stop using gas overnight-— using oil and stop using gas overniaht. ., �* ~ ., i. overnight. i don't think anyone is predicting — overnight. i don't think anyone is predicting that _ overnight. i don't think anyone is predicting that by _ overnight. i don't think anyone is predicting that by tomorrow| is predicting that by tomorrow morning will be fossil fuels but we should point out that scientists tell us that we have to be mostly offered by the end of the decade because we are not negotiating here with, you know, in the end were not negotiating between countries or political parties or ideologies. we negotiating with physics. the oil companies are not moving in the right direction. they're continuing to expand their exploration and production of oil and gas and thatis production of oil and gas and that is why it was really good news today when the divestment movement around the world announced it had reached the $a0,000,000,000,000 mark in thatis $a0,000,000,000,000 mark in that is bigger than the gdp. it that is bigger than the gdp. it is happening? that is part of the point, whatever these fossil fuel companies may or may not be doing, there is a momentum. almost a tidal momentum. almost a tidal momentum moving away. hora momentum. almost a tidal momentum moving away. now we are in a race- — momentum moving away. now we are in a race. climate _ momentum moving away. now we are in a race. climate change - are in a race. climate change is not like political issues that we are used to having. we do a little bit now and come backin do a little bit now and come back in a few years and bit more. this is the 1st time we've really faced a timed test as a species and as you know, our political and economic systems are not geared to move quickly and that is why it is a good thing we have these giant movements pushing. and i will tell you. ifelt more tell you. i felt more optimistic tell you. ifelt more optimistic this afternoon than i did this morning because of the day the 5th biggest pension fund in the world announced that it too was divesting from fossil fuels.— that it too was divesting from fossil fuels. maybe it does not need to be _ fossil fuels. maybe it does not need to be purely _ fossil fuels. maybe it does not need to be purely the - need to be purely the politicians that do the work, she said, they move slowly. she said before winning slowly in climate are simply another way of losing. the pace is not there. can you give me what you would consider your biggest realistic wish, then, from the countries of this

there will be civil society there will be civil society there pushing hard stop we will see. as you pointed out when we began the title of my last book was a little depressing so not here to give you a glib optimistic outlook. when he to tell you that we need everybody pushing really hard. i pushing really hard. i appreciate that is the line you're coming from but can you me some cause for optimism that the world is changing? we are at a point of change? the the world is changing? we are at a point of change?- at a point of change? the 2 causes for _ at a point of change? the 2 causes for optimism - at a point of change? the 2 causes for optimism are . at a point of change? the 2. causes for optimism are that the engineers have done their job and drop the price of renewable energy about 90% in the last decade. it is now the cheapest form of energy on the planet so there is no financial or technological obstacle. an 0xford study from 2 weeks ago showed that the word would save trillions of dollars if it made a rapid transition. the 2nd reason to be optimistic is there is this big movement of people around the world. many organisations taken together organisations ta ken together almost organisations taken together almost as powerful as the fossil fuel industry and that of the titanic battle that is going on. can you break the power of this industry in time or will

loaned to a dutch museum must be returned to ukraine — and not to crimea. the artefacts were sent to a museum in amsterdam from galleries in crimea shortly before russia annexed the peninsula from ukraine in 201a. the pieces include a solid gold scythian helmet and a golden neck ornament — which weigh more than a kilo each. it says the injection of cash will keep basic healthcare facilities operating until the end of the year. a reminder of our top story. a brazilian senate enquiry has given final approval to a report recommending presidentjair bolsonaro faces a series of criminal indictments over his handling of the world's second highest covid death toll. the vote, by the eleven—member committee, passed seven to four. afterwards, the senators stood in silence in memory of the country's six hundred and six thousand covid victims. the enquiry�*s rapporteur, renan calheiros, said the report would be sent to brazil's prosecutor—general who is responsible for pressing charges. he said the allegations of crimes against humanity will be presented to the international criminal court. you can reach me on twitter — i'm @bbcdavideades. hello there. it is going to stay very mild over the next few days. but there is more rain in the forecast, and the rain is moving southwards at the moment. so, the wetter weather in the next few days more likely to be in the southern uplands of scotland, cumbria in northwest england, and by thursday, for western parts of wales, and some flooding is likely as well. the main focus of the rain is on the weather front there, and ahead it, we are drawing up the winds all the way from the tropics over the azores and into the uk, which is why it is so unusually mild. in northern ireland on tuesday, temperatures reach 17 celsius ahead of the rain — it's normally around 11 or 12 celsius at best at this time of the year. these are the temperatures we're starting with on wednesday morning — a very mild 15 or 16 celsius. but this is where the rain is, and it's not going to shift position through much of the day. we've got rain threatening to come back into eastern northern ireland, up towards the central belt of scotland. most of the rain in southern scotland, northwest england, especially cumbria and into northwest wales. north of that rain band, some sunshine, a few sharp showers. south of the rain band, like tuesday, a lot of cloud around, a bit of sunshine from time to time, those temperatures could be even higher around 18 celsius. but that rain is going to be continuing throughout the day across southern scotland, northwest england. by the end of the day, 90mm possible in the southern uplands, maybe double that over the high ground in cumbria, which is why we are going to see some impact, and that wet weather continues overnight as well. that stream of warm wet weather coming in on that weather front, the position of that rain will fluctuate a little. we may start to see a few changes on thursday. scotland and northern ireland brightening up a bit more with some showers. these could be quite heavy, mind you. still got that rain across parts of southern scotland, northern england, wales, and southwest england this time. but ahead through the midlands, east anglia, the southeast, still dry and bright, and temperatures hitting 17. but the wetter weather continues overnight, those weather fronts are still in the scene, perhaps forming an area of low pressure. now, i think the details may change as we head into friday, getting rather more messy. looks on the whole like it's going to be a day of sunshine or longer spells of rain. it may start to brighten up across more of the country, western areas turning a bit drier. but some of that rain pushing into the eastern side of england this time, and temperatures won't be quite as high. they will begin to fall away from the northwest. a this is bbc news, the headlines: a brazilian senate inquiry has given final approval to a report recommending presidentjair bolsonaro faces a series of criminal indictments over his handling of the world's second highest covid death toll, and the misuse of public funds. the vote, by the 11—member committee, passed 7 to a. new details have emerged about the fatal shooting on an alec baldwin film set. a us district attorney investigating the incident says a real gun, nota prop, was involved, and that "an enormous amount of bullets" were recovered. the prosecuter also stressed that "criminal charges aren't ruled out." the united states has revoked china telecom's licence to operate in the country, citing "national security" concerns over beijing 5 ownership and control of the company. now on bbc news, panorama. the soft drinks industry produces a70 billion plastic bottles every year, designed to be used just once and then thrown away. a quarter of them are made by one company, coca—cola. nearly half of coke's bottles end up burned, dumped or littered. the problem has gotten so bad, and the problem is now visual. in the face of public backlash, coke have come up with a bold plan to tackle their plastic pollution problem. simply put, we want to get to a world without waste, so we want to collect back from the marketplace every bottle and can, or the equivalent of every
