under fire from lawmakers and regulators and former employees, social media giant facebook is rebranding. this is bbc news. the president of indonesia says that wealthy countries are not doing enough to ensure coronavirus vaccines reach all parts of the world. less than half of the country's 275,000,000 people have received their first dose of vaccine. joko widodo is calling for global solidarity to battle the pandemic and for vaccine manufacturing to be spread across countries. vaccines should be equally distributed to all countries and there should not be a few countries that get all the vaccines and some only get a little. therefore, indonesia was fairness for access to vaccines. this is hugely important. if that happened, then that would mean a high global solidarity amongst the advanced, poor and developing countries. we need, in the future, to make facilities and manufacturing vaccine centres in both developed and poorer countries, especially in countries with a huge population. it is very important so there is an even distribution of vaccines. i see that everyone has helped, but in my opinion it's not enough. not just for indonesia, but for all developing countries, and especially for poor countries. we need to get this vaccine. it's the most important thing. well, you are managing things better now. initially, your government downplayed the disease and as a result, didn't recognise the dangers until much later. how responsible is your government for these deaths? yes, at the height of the pandemic there were more than 56,000 cases but now it has gone down and become 600 cases. 0ur hospitals, ourfacilities were full and could not handle the load and that led to a lot of deaths. more than 160 world leaders have called on kirk 7 countries to launch an immediate military airlift of surplus vaccines to less developed countries. they warned that hundreds of thousands of lives could be lost if vaccines are allowed to inspire. who is with me is courtney bembridge. in this letter and what are they calling for and it's such a worry for people to hear about these vaccines going to waste when they could be in peoples arms7 the letter was organised by the former uk but prime minister, gordon brown, the signatories are a who's who of recent global leaders, 36 former presidents and more than 30 former prime ministers and more than 100 global influential figures. they are trying to put pressure on the richer nations meeting for the g20 summit in rome to share the vaccines and they are not using these four booster programmes which we know a lot of countries are doing and vaccinating children. this group of heavyweight from around the world are saying that there is a 100,000,000 doses on top of that so once the booster programme has been done on the children have been vaccinated there are still 100,000,000 extra doses to go to poorer nations and they say by the end of the year that is 100,000,000 byjanuary and it could be double that. we can look at more of what they said in the letter with more than 6,000,000,000 doses administered worldwide but 70% of gone few countries and is a low income countries so this is vaccine but the who has come out again ahead of this big summit in rome and said the pandemic will not end until everybody has access to vaccines. let's hear what he said today. vaccines. let's hear what he said today-— vaccines. let's hear what he said today. this weekend the leaders of — said today. this weekend the leaders of the _ said today. this weekend the leaders of the g20 _ said today. this weekend the leaders of the g20 countries| leaders of the 620 countries will meet in rome. together these countries have the ability to make the political and financial commitments that are needed to end this pandemic and to prevent future crises. we party decisive moment, requiring decisive leadership to make the world safer. courtney bembridge reporting. after months of negotiations, the president said compromise and consensus were the only way to get things done in a democracy. it's a stripped down version of the $3.5 trillion plan needs to be improved by members of his own democratic party who hold the majority in congress. here is what the person had to say when he announced the new framework. it's a framework that will create millions ofjobs, grow the economy, invest in our nation and our people. turn the climate crisis into an opportunity to put us on a path not only to compete, but to win the economic competition for the 21st century. against china and every other major country in the world. it's fiscally responsible, it's fully paid for. 17 nobel prize winners in economics have said it will lower the inflationary pressures on the economy. peter bowes says this is a significant climb down from what president biden initially had in mind. but a necessary one. it's $3.5 trillion, was originally 1.75 trillion. that still is a colossal amount of spending, but there's been a lot of compromise, and that's what's taken the time behind the scenes, haggling between different vested interests. a lot of lobbying of democrats by people across the united states. some things have been left in and some things have been taken out to the disappointment of many. still in there, free preschool for three and four—year—olds, but taken out is free community college for when students get older and perhaps most controversial, paid family leave has been taken out. a very common benefit in the other countries, but not in the united states. but essential compromises ifjoe biden was going to get anything like a bill that all sides would agree on. yes, and we are talking about all sides within his very wide—ranging party. from those progressives on the left, people like senator bernie sanders and others. the moderates in the middle who are a little bit more cautious about too much spending, and some on the right as well. the challenge has been to bring those sides together with proposals thatjust appealed to as many people as possible to get the number of votes that he needs. 0ne fascinating aspect is that really, just two moderate democratic senators have been at the centre of holding all of this up. and we still don't know whether they are in agreement with the bill as it is now written. this isn't signed and sealed. this is still a bill in progress and happening right now, those senators and members of the house, looking at the fine print to see if they can sign off on it. peter bowes there. senior oil companies have denied that they deliberately misled the word about climate change. they said that their understanding of global warming had developed over time and the chair of the committee, a she asked for a commitment from the companies which included exxon mobil, chevron and shell that they would not spend money opposing efforts to tackle climate change. here is the ceo of bp america responding. what i would say is that we have stopped all reputational advertising at bp. i know you have taken steps in the right direction and i heard that in your testimony, thank you, but will you take the pledge, yes or no. for your specific pledge what we are advocating for low carbon policies that do in fact take the company and the world to an net zero. that is the pledge i am willing to commit to. well i will ask if you will stop spending money directly or indirectly to oppose efforts to reduce emissions and address climate change. just stop spending money. that's all lies. i take it you don't want to take the pledge. all right. 0ur our research fellow at harvard university who executed a study of the exxon comments, hejoins us now and thank you. tell us what you have made of what

space of a few hours, the ceos work to aid deny their past and present wrongdoing, be, distract from the investigation with green washing, and c, delayed by refusing to commit to meaningful actions going forward so what we learned as they won't take responsibility for their decades of past propaganda and disinformation lobbying and they intend to consider down the path. why they talked about their opinions of climate change opinions of climate change opinion developing over the time, hence the changes? roughly oh that is right. for all of the green talk they continue to invest roughly 1% of their budget on low carbon technology. this is green washing 101, talk green, and dirty. washing 101, talk green, and di . ~ ., washing 101, talk green, and di .. ., , dirty. what about these

anything7 looking at the history of the tobacco hearings which many drew analogies within the 19905, drew analogies within the 1990s, their effect was partly the documentary evidence but also in building political momentum towards litigation so this was an historic moment and for the first time in the world americans got to see the ceos of the biggest companies struggling to avoid getting tangled in their own web of climate denial and those testimonies were entered on the congressional record and work the former further legislation on litigation but it's clearly the beginning. the hero 7 hearing ended with subpoenas which are ratcheting up to pressure to force the companies to open up to further scrutiny. in terms of the political divide, explain how that is quite a while we have a

change. it comes after a whistle—blower at facebook of failing to act when you its contact was harmful. there is the north american technology correspondent, james clayton. facebook will be split into two different parts, only one part is the social media apps part of the business, instagram, whatsapp and facebook and the other part is virtual reality and this concept of the matter verse which is an online area where you can chat to your friends and you will have your own avatar and do exercise and shop online and that doesn't exist yet but it will be in that part of the company and the umbrella name for the company will be called meta are not facebook. facebook will argue that its previous name was confusing, that facebook the platform was different to the platform was different to the company and that is why it has changed its name to better reflect where the company is going but a lot of people look at this and think this is smoke and mirrors and this is facebook trying to redirect emphasis on the name rather than on all of the negative stories that we have seen in the past month from the facebook whistle—blower at the centre of a series of damaging leaks. this is something that was probably planned in the long term but because of the timing, it looks like facebook is trying to almost detoxify the brand by renaming itself. lets beat were technology reporter for the washington post. what is your take? 7 let's speak to. is this a good deflection or is it a significant thing7 deflection or is it a significant thing? mark zuckerberg _ significant thing? mark

said he was a fan of the classics and he is fond of augustus caesar and said in his presentation today that the word meta in greek means beyond, and i think it is apt because facebook is certainly trying to move beyond all of the scandals and the harms that have been coming to light from the whistle—blower and let's not make this too easy on them. we can recap quickly that they were accused of failing to moderate content appropriately and in most countries they don't even have moderators, and they have made changes to the algorithms that were supposed to be good for users well being that apparently turned out to make us more outraged and gave us polarising content. there are concerns about the effect on mental wellbeing of teen girls, so i think first up they would like to move beyond those things and move to something more positive. this things and move to something more positive.— more positive. as they move be ond more positive. as they move beyond presumably - more positive. as

democratic party. the party is expected to lose seats, but not lose power. in fact, the ldp has failed to retain power in only two elections since 1955. from tokyo, rupert wingfield—hayes reports. for all but six of the last 65 years, japan has been led by the same political party, the ldp. this weekend's election looks certain to be won by them again. yet the ldp is not especially popular. it's been led by a succession of rather unremarkable, un—charismatic men, so what explains its tremendous success? partly, it starts here in the japanese countryside. this town of 5,000 people is an ldp stronghold. most residents here are old and old people vote. we met this couple on their way to cast their ballot — that's right, for the ldp. translation: it will be a huge mess if we let i the opposition win. they don't have the experience ldp has. translation: i agree with my husband. - part of the reason why the ldp does so well is that it's always made sure that the taxpayer money keeps flowing into places in the countryside, particularly to build infrastructure. this place has a perfectly good road on the other side of the valley, but a few years ago, they decided they needed another one. for that, they needed to build this tunnel. you see stuff like this all over ruraljapan — fantastic infrastructure of questionable economic benefit, but one that certainly brings jobs and votes in rural areas. what about japan's opposition parties? a candidate for the communist party is trying to drum up support. there are at least nine opposition parties injapan. it's one reason they do so badly. this is one of the very few ways that opposition parties injapan have of getting their message out to potential voters, because door—to—door campaigning in japan is not allowed, and that gives the incumbent party a tremendous advantage because their leaders are on the television news every night. we asked some young voters if they recognise the leader of japan's biggest opposition party. 0nce or twice, i know his face, but i don't remember his name. are you interested in the election? are you going to bother voting7 actually, no. young urbanites don't vote and don't know who to vote for, but even if they did, their vote would count a lot less than if they lived in the countryside. today, the vast majority of japanese voters live in big cities like this one, but the voting districts have not been modernised to reflect this huge shift of population from the rural to the urban. and in very simplistic terms, that means today, you need a lot more votes to get elected in an urban constituency than in a rural one. all of this is a good news for the prime minister who can rely on mps from rural strongholds to keep him in power. rupert wingfield—hayes, bbc news, tokyo. some of the finest examples of early islamic art in the west bank city ofjericho have been restored and officials hope they will become a major tourist attraction. they are astonishing in their scale and ambition. an intricate ornate sea of stone and colour and detail patterns. these mosaics date back more than 1,000 years and are part of the very fabric of this land. the size of the mosaic panels is about 835 square metres. it contains more than 5 milion mosaic pieces and small mosaic stones. it has a distinctive set of natural colours, all components of which are natural stones that exist in palestine. they've spent five years and around $12,000,000 restoring the mosaics to their former glory in the hope is that they will become a source of much—needed revenue for the palestinian authority. the ministry estimates there will be a significant and noticeable increase in tourism, especially to this site because of its great importance and its architectural and artistic and historical significance. hisham palace covers an area of around 60 hectares, a grand desert castle, its origin is something of a mystery. a vivid window into the past, but perhaps a source of hope for the future. and we finish with incredible pictures of the volcano on la plam, which has been active for 35 days and officials declared it this way more active than ever after a partial collapse of the crater of a powerful new river of lava. that is all from me. hello. with a number of weather and flood warnings in force where it's been so very wet, it's certainly worth keeping across those if you've got travel plans going into the weekend. a weekend which will bring more rain at times, but not all the time. there'll be some sunshine, too. saturday, for many, looks like a fine day. quite windy this weekend, and it will turn a little cooler. the low pressure very much in charge, but the frontal system that's brought so much rain does clear away during friday. another one with rain overnight and clearing early on saturday, but then a stronger area of low pressure with more rain and wind for part two of the weekend on sunday. this is how things are starting off on friday morning, with a lot of cloud around, with outbreaks of rain in many areas, including moving into those parts of eastern england that have spent much of this week dry. but the idea is that all of this will slowly clear eastwards as the day goes on. northern ireland soon getting into the sunshine during friday morning. for many other places, it will turn drier and brighter into the afternoon. but even in the afternoon, still some rain falling in parts of the midlands, northern england and eastern scotland before here, too, things improve into the evening. still mild out there. it'll feel a little fresher, and it does turn cooler over the weekend. more showers running into south west england, wales and northern ireland on friday evening. and that's from the next weather front coming in, that makes further progress north and eastwards going into saturday morning. a touch cooler as saturday starts. so, early on on saturday, this will be moving through with some outbreaks of showery rain. they'll be quite heavy, but a lot of that does clear away into the afternoon. and following on behind, plenty of sunshine, just the chance of catching a shower. so, for many, saturday afternoon will be dry, temperatures will just come down a degree or so. but the lull before the next weather system doesn't last very long, and it's this area of low pressure and again going into sunday, so another swathe of quite heavy rain along it. that will be gradually pushing its way north and east as the day goes on. may take quite a bit of time before it gets into northernmost parts of scotland. behind it, it will be brightening up, but you may see some heavy showers moving in, and it'll be windiest through southern parts of england and south wales. that's your weekend for you. into next week, showers, some sunshine at times and for all parts, it'll be turning colder as we get into november. this is bbc news, the headlines: in an exclusive interview with the bbc, indonesian president widodo

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
