francis has spoken of the shared responsibility needed to overcome the pandemic and climate crisis. globalfigures, including former world leaders, urge western nations to airlift surplus covid vaccines to poorer countries in efforts to save millions of lives. one of the main rail links between england and scotland has been disrupted by flooding, after heavy rain hit southern scotland and north—west england. and coming up... archaeologists uncover an astounding set of roman sculptures on the route of the new hs2 rail link in southern england. hello and welcome if you re watching in the uk or around the world. in an escalating dispute between the uk and france over post—brexit fishing rights, the french ambassador in london has been summoned to explain the country's seizure of a british trawler. french authorities have detained the boat in the normandy port of le havre, claiming it did not have the correct licence. but this has been denied by the vessel's scottish owners. france has been angered by a decision from the uk and jersey last month to deny fishing licences to dozens of french boats, and argued that this breached the brexit deal. the uk government says only a small number of vessels didn't qualify for licenses because they'd never accessed jersey waters before. the eu has said it "understands france's position and exasperation". france has warned it would block british boats from landing catches if the dispute is not resolved by next week. the uk says it could respond in turn, with the uk food and environment secretary warning that "two can play at that game". damian grammaticas reports. in may, french fishing boats gathered offjersey. their anger is that, despite the uk and jersey agreeing after brexit that french boats could continue fishing in coastal waters, dozens have applied and not had permits approved. the issue for many french boats is proving they've habitually fished in uk and jersey waters. smaller boats may not have had monitoring systems to track their movements. their current access will expire this weekend. if more licences are not granted by next week, the french government has said it will impose measures that could limit uk trade. translation: as britain does not respect what was agreed - regarding licences for our fishermen, we will strictly limit british boats landing their catches in french ports. we will begin systematic health and customs inspections, and we'll put in place checks on exports heading to the uk. yesterday this uk trawler was detained — it's now in the port of le havre, accused of fishing without a permit in french waters. now uk seafood exporters are worried they may face disruption supplying their biggest market — the eu — in the key period before christmas, and don't want a dispute with french fishermen. we fish the same areas, we need joint management, and big politics is trying to get in the way of that and we're trying to maintain the bridges that we have with them. at the end of the day, they're our colleagues and we fish alongside them — we don't want to see their businesses fail. in london, the government has called the proposed french actions "unjustified". the government has said we are very happy to give licences to the very few remaining people who have not got their licences, but we need to have some evidence to show that you meet the criteria. but with the french ambassador summoned to the foreign office and the uk government promising an appropriate response, the political dynamics could see this dispute escalate fast. damian grammaticas, bbc news. i've been speaking to our political correspondent nick eardley, and started by asking him if the issue of licences should have been sorted out many months ago. that's certainly the argument the french government is making that there are dozens of boats entitled to fish in french waters —— british waters but have not got the licences yet, which is why they are so angry. the vast majority of boats have applied for fish in the vast majority of boats have applied forfish in uk the vast majority of boats have applied for fish in uk waters as part of a post brexit trade deal have been approved, it is said, and those who haven't have not had the correct —— have not met the correct criteria. last night we had the french europe minister saying in the uk only understands the language of force. we at the french government saying that this is not resolved by tuesday, it will stop british boats from docking at some of french ports and there will be a big increase in the number of checks that happen on things going over the channel, which could have a real impact on freight traffic over the channel. the uk government says that is completely out of proportion, it is accusing the french government of inflammatory language, and we have also heard from the uk government this morning that if the french to take more action, there will be a retaliation from london. have a listen to the environment secretary. joe can play that game is what i can save us the first instance, what we are doing is raising this with the european commission since obviously the eu represents france on fisheries matters and is the partner we deal with international these things obviously it is always open to us to increase the enforcement we do on french vessels are to board more of them if that is what they are doing to our vessels. we have said for now _ are doing to our vessels. we have said for now we're _ are doing to our vessels. we have said for now we're not _ are doing to our vessels. we have said for now we're not going - are doing to our vessels. we have said for now we're not going to i said for now we're not going to respond — said for now we're not going to respond in _ said

ministers have _ slats. my understanding is that ministers have been _ slats. my understanding is that ministers have been looking i slats. my understanding is that ministers have been looking at| ministers have been looking at potential actions the uk could take over the next few days —— with these threats. the first thing that will happen today as the french ambassador will be simmered for a dressing down at the foreign office. that normally —— summoned. that is something i normally happens to hostile states, not allies. speaking to people in the foreign office this morning, they cannot find any records of the french ambassador being summoned before so this is a pretty out of the ordinary event and, you know, it is worth bearing in mind that fishing rows, we have seen them come and go in the past, they cover in most years, actually, but that is that the added complexity of the big video, trading arrangements after brexit and the context of other trade rows over northern ireland. both sides wanting to be seen as acting tough on this. they fear that some in the fishing industry have is that desire to look tough could have some real consequences. i've also been getting reaction from bruno bonnell, a politician in president macron's en marche party. it's surprising that france only got 50% of the licences when they claim, when you consider all of europe, only 2% of the boats have not got their license. let's be serious, turning a party for about 30 pending license, that is not the treaty was signed when we dealt with brexit so obviously everybody is going to say it is a chicken and egg situation but the truth is we have french fishermen who are losing 25% of their business every day and it is something we have to act on. the threat of cutting off electricity supplies tojersey, potentially, the threat of stepping up checks and detaining fishing vessels, is that really an appropriate way to resolve this political row? you really an appropriate way to resolve this political row?— this political row? you know, in diplomacy _ this political row? you know, in diplomacy you _ this political row? you know, in diplomacy you have _ this political row? you know, in

have a time to show your muscles, flex your muscles, to better stick in the ground, and then you have a second time where you sit around the table and with a definite date. the date of november two was given and i'm sure by then, finally in good faith, english authorities and french authorities will sit down and french authorities will sit down and find a way. but and french authorities will sit down and find a way-— and find a way. but is that there is and find a way. but is that there is an wa and find a way. but is that there is any way that _ and find a way. but is that there is any way

allies - any way that is a positive allies should be behaving? for example, one french minister saying the language of force is the only thing the british government understand. that has been described as inflammatory language by a british minister. do you accept that?— language by a british minister. do you accept that? well, i don't know if i acce -t you accept that? well, i don't know

i'm just saying - if i accept this. i'm just saying for months we have been trying to negotiate with a fair attitude and try and sort things out, but stubbornly those boats and licenses were kept on at the uk authorities' side with no reasons and i believe there is a point where, without putting too much weight on those words, showing that we could retaliate in that the situation is something that will help, definitely something that will help, definitely some negotiations. but something that will help, definitely some negotiations.— something that will help, definitely some negotiations.

that offer hope to the world. the summit begins next week in glasgow. in a message recorded for the bbc, he urges those gathering at cop26 to act now to tackle the looming environmental crisis. let's have a listen. that was pope francis with a message exclusively for the bbc. the pope said that climate change and covid 19 had exposed deep vulnerabilities in our economic systems, but that moments of diffulty do present opportunities that shouldn't be wasted. he said we shouldn't withdraw to isolationism and protections but use it as a moment of conversion to building together. he said that the political decision—makers who will meet in glasgow are urgently summoned to provide responses to the crisis and offer hope to future generations — and we can all play our own part in trying to impact what he called the unprecedented climate threat. let's go to our correspondent at the vatican, mark lowen. mark, the pope is due to meet the us presidentjoe biden in not too long. how significant is it that pope francis has come out with this message? it francis has come out with this message?— message? it is an important intervention, _ message? it is an important intervention, i— message? it is an important intervention, i think, i message? it is an important| intervention, ithink, coming message? it is an important i intervention, ithink, comingjust before that un climate conference in glasgow because, of course, this is the leader of the world's the 1.3 billion catholics and a man who carries moral weight, some star quality among his supporters and even though he will not be present physically in glasgow, although it had been expected he would attend, he is hoping that by stressing the need for action on climate change, he could potentially have some impact with some world leaders meeting in glasgow because back in 2015, he had a similarfocus on environmentalism and issued what is called an encyclical, a papal document, before the paris climate card stressing the need for action on climate change and his intervention was raised by some people meeting in paris in 2015 so he hopes his intervention today on the bbc, a recent meeting of faith leaders here at the vatican by faith leaders here at the vatican by faith leaders might have that little impact to push world leaders that extra mile towards an agreement in glasgow. bud extra mile towards an agreement

because have his support for the abortion rights. i do not think that issue will be directly discussed today, it will more be an issue about climate change, migration, issues they see eye to eye on

talks at the foreign office, as a dispute between the uk and france over post—brexit fishing rights continues. pope francis has urged leaders attending the climate summit in glasgow next week to take "radical decisions" that offer hope to the world, in an exclusive recording for the bbc. a coalition of global figures is calling on western nations to airlift surplus covid vaccines to developing countries — warning five million more people could die unless action is taken now. so all eyes are on glasgow, as international leaders head to the scottish city on sunday for the cop26 climate summit. expectations are high after the un described a recent report on climate change as a "a code red for humanity" and urged world leaders to act fast. our climate editor, justin rowlatt, has been taking a step back, explaining what these summits are all about, and what we can expect from it. they are an opportunity for the world to get together and discuss how we can reduce carbon dioxide emissions. that is the code of what they are about. it is a huge challenge. we know that carbon dioxide drives global warming, temperatures have been increasing and will continue to increase if we continue to pump carbon dioxide emissions into the atmosphere. so backin emissions into the atmosphere. so back in 1992, at the rio earth summit, it was agreed that we needed to do, the world community needed to do something about it. they said this is something that is going to be ongoing, it is a difficult problem, we can't solve it in one 90, problem, we can't solve it in one go, we need to discuss how we're going to do this. that is what these conferences are, the latest iteration of these conferences, 206i iteration of these conferences, 2061 have been so far which shows how difficult is to get to the world to disagree so far —— 26. who is going to help her with her, fund, with finance, racing through this really quickly world. pressure is mounting on the world's richest nations to share vaccines with poorer countries as coronavirus cases once again start to spike around the world, and g20 leaders prepare to meet in rome. influential global figures — including more than 160 former world leaders — are calling on western countries to send millions of surplus covid vaccines to less developed countries before they expire. as the first leaders arrived in rome for a meeting of the world's major economies, pressure is mounting for them to hand over stockpiled vaccines. 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 are at a decisive moment requiring decisive leadership. it's claimed hundreds of millions of vaccines will soon go to waste because they'll expire before they can be used in the countries that bought them, including britain, the united states, canada and the eu. a group of former world leaders, led by the former uk prime minister gordon brown, has released an open letter calling for the extra doses to be immediately sent to where they're most needed in africa, latin america and asia. vaccines are going to go to waste while people are literally dying and getting extremely ill in developing countries because they can't get access to them, so there needs to be a very quick response now by high—income countries to get the surplus doses out there. indonesia's presidentjoko widodo has spoken exclusively to the bbc and echoed calls for a fairer distribution. translation: i see that everyone has helped but in my opinion, _ it's not enough, notjust for indonesia, but for all developing countries and especially for poor countries. global coronavirus cases are rising for the first time in two months, and there are now more than 10,000 deaths a day being recorded worldwide. advocates say many of them could be avoided with a fairer vaccine distribution model. courtney bembridge, bbc news. the former prime minister, gordon brown, has been vocal about the need for global vaccine equity. he's been speaking to the bbc. countries have over—ordered and they're overstocked and they're not getting the vaccines out quickly enough, so a lot of vaccines could be wasted past their expiry date, and we know that nobody is safe anywhere until everybody is vaccinated everywhere. i think that today you will pass this terrible figure — five million deaths already from covid — and what the world health organization is saying, that there will be another five million more deaths unless we act. we've had 2115 million cases of covid. there could be 200 million more in the next year alone. and that's why we've got to act, because if the disease spreads in the poorer countries, then you have new mutations of the disease, new variants. they will come back to haunt us. and even the fully vaccinated here, like you and me, we will be vulnerable to this disease in a new form. that's why we've got to vaccinate everybody. former uk prime minister gordon brown. e—cigarettes could soon be prescribed on the nhs in england to help people stop smoking. the medicines regulator is inviting manufacturers to submit products for approval. it could mean england becomes the first country in the world to prescribe e—cigarettes as a medical product. professor of public health linda bauld says it's a significant policy shift. there are thousands of vaping products available. they're only regulated by consumer regulation, there's no products that are available as medicines with medicinal approval, and the mhra, their processes are really tough, actually, to go through, and we haven't seen e—cigarette manufacturers come forward to do that, so they've reviewed the processes and they're making them a little bit more straightforward and they're now today announcing that they are encouraging manufacturers to come forward. i still have some doubts how many will do that because it's still going to be complicated, but there are definitely advantages to having consumer product e—cigarettes available on the market and also the alternative of a prescription vaping product. and that's what this announcement may make easier. the main advantages of prescription e—cigarettes are... if you ask smokers, around 30% of them have not tried vaping — and the most common reason for that is concerns about safety. in fact, around the same proportion think that vaping is just as dangerous as smoking, which isn't true. so a prescription product would give more reassurance about that — these are rigorous tests it would have to go through. and then the second one is cost, because smoking is more common in more disadvantaged groups and they may be put off by the cost of vaping, so on prescription may be a better option there. one of the rail lines between scotland and england remains closed this morning after two footbridges were washed away in flood waters. it follows a day of torrential rain in parts of the border region and cumbria, with more downpours forecast today. the floods damaged property and closed several roads. megan paterson has more. well, as you can see, the river running through cockermouth this morning is still fast flowing, pretty high, but the good news is the water levels are starting to recede. you can see this line of leaves on the grass here and this is where the water level was last night, but it has gone down very quickly this morning. we couldn't see the bottom of the bins are benches when we came down here that five en. the environment agency is telling us this is a slowly improving picture and water levels, river levels have peaked right across the county and lakes are beginning to level out. that is good news but there is still heavy rain forecast. there are still nine flood warnings in place across cumbria are people being urged to keep vigilant and keep an eye on the forecast to be mindful of floodwater if they live needed. we know that a0 properties, unfortunately, flooded yesterday. those people will be trying to dry out their properties today. hopefully nobody else will be affected. the environment agency, obviously, encouraging us to follow the forecast but hopefully it made a fledging event has been avoided here. still quite significant traffic disruption. —— a major flooding event. one bridge closed as the county council looks as a struggle and take shape. —— it structure and passengers been told not to try to travel further than pressing on the trains. a little bit of relief here, coming cockermouth, the places in cumbria as it seems like the worst of this has passed. this is a county that is all too familiar with flooding so any time thatis familiar with flooding so any time that is heavy rainfall over a short period of time, people are understandably nervous. they know the damage that water like this can do. but today, it is a slowly improving picture. there is still a weather alert in place but we expect by this afternoon, the range it is all. what is following a falling on saturated ground on the rivers that are quite full, as you can see, but hopefully the environment agency saying there is enough capacity any system for this to go on and for it to pass. hopefully without any more major disruption. we heard from the pope earlier, well president biden will have an audience with him a little later, having agreed a $1.75 trillion spending plan at home. but hopes of a quick vote on the reforms have been dashed as some democrats have called for more assurances on issues such as health care. our north america correspondent peter bowes reports. mr presidency, do you have a deal? the political stakes are high forjoe biden, another trip to capitol hill to urge fellow democrats to get behind the ambitious spending bill once and for all, laying it on the line. at a meeting behind closed doors, mr biden said future house and senate majorities and his own presidency would be determined by what happens to this bill. he emerged to say it was all but sorted. today i'm pleased to announce that after months of tough and thoughtful negotiations, i think we have an historic... i know we have an historic economic framework. hesitant, perhaps because the deal isn't signed and sealed yet, if he gets his way, the pared down plan from 3.5 to $1.705 trillion will still be a landmark achievement for mr biden. 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 and put us on a path not only to compete, but to win the economic competition of the 21st century against china and every other major country in the world. still included is more than $500 billion to fight climate change, a00 billion to fund universal preschool for three and four—year—olds, and 150 billion to build affordable housing. but out goes paid family leave, free community college and a plan to lower prescription drug prices. now it's up to democrats in the house and the senate to read the small print and determine the bill's fate. it is probably the most consequential bill since the 19605 in terms of protecting the needs of working families, our children, the elderly, the sick and the poor. it is a major, major step forward. but clearly, to my mind, it has some major gaps in it. early positive reaction, but no final decisions yet. the house of representatives has wrapped up business for the week without a vote — a disappointment forjoe biden as he turns his attention to the world stage, visiting rome for the meeting of g20 leaders and the cop26 climate summit in glasgow. he's on the brink of a major breakthrough at home, but there's nothing to brag aboutjust yet. peter bowes, bbc news, los angeles. archaeologists digging on the route of the hs2 high—speed rail link have uncovered what they've described as an "astounding" set of roman statues. it includes two complete sculptures of what appear to be a man and a woman, plus the head of a child. the discovery was made at an abandoned medieval church in stoke mandeville in buckinghamshire. it is believed that the location was used as a roman mausoleum before the norman church was built. dr rachel wood described the moment her team made the discovery. pretty much a giant grin. everybody was really, really astounded to find them. they're just so unusual and so well preserved as well. so we're excavating the ruins of a mediaeval church. it was built in about 1080. and as we removed the remains of those buildings, we've got underneath it and found, much to our surprise, another building that predates it and that had been demolished into an enclosure ditch encircling it. and as we were sort of excavating that rubble from the ditch, we were pulling out pieces of, you know, carved stone and things like that, and we turned it over and were suddenly looking at the face of this lady. they appear to be of, you know, local romans, but they would have been quite wealthy to have had these statues made and you can see on the lady's hairdo how kind of fancy a set of braids that she's got. the headlines on bbc news. the french ambassador in london has been summoned to the foreign office in a dispute over post—brexit fishing rights. the uk government says it's considering its response, after a british trawler was seized in normandy. we will see what they do on tuesday. obviously we reserve the right to respond in a proportionate way. pope francis has urged leaders attending the cop26 summit in glasgow to tackle the "unprecedented threat" of climate change and provide "concrete hope" to future generations — in an exclusive message for the bbc. this crisis lays in front of as radical decisions, but each hurdle also represents an opportunity that cannot be wasted. more than 160 globalfigures have urged western nations to airlift millions of surplus covid vaccines to developing countries — warning five million lives could be lost without urgent action. one of the main rail links between england and scotland has been disrupted by flooding, after heavy rain hit southern scotland and north west england. and archaeologists have uncovered an astounding set of roman sculptures on the route of the new hs2 rail link in southern england. buy local and drive electric to help save the planet — that's the kind of advice you might not expect from the terminator. but ahead of the un climate change conference which starts this weekend in glasgow, former actor and politician, arnold schwarzenegger, has been telling the bbc�*s tom heap why it's not too late to change the way we live. i think anything can be done. if you see it and believe it, then you can achieve it. it's that simple. the terminator might seem an unlikely environmental champion. his most iconic movie role was dedicated to eliminating humanity. i'll be back. and i will not let you down. his return to the public arena as a politician, serving as republican governor of california for eight years, was marked by tough environmental laws on exhaust fumes, growing wind and solar energy, and ambitious carbon reduction targets. he now runs the schwarzenegger climate initiative. we are the only place that really reduced greenhouse gases by 25% and brought it back to the 1990 level. what we are so happy about is that we are proving simultaneously that it is the best job creator when you go green. we are number one economically in the united states, with a gdp of $3.3 trillion. that, at the same time, makes us the fifth—largest economy in the world, at the same time while we have the strictest environmental laws. so it shows to you you can protect the environment and you can protect the economy at the same time. so all of those countries that come and give speeches — we are not going to go and lose jobs because of going green — they are liars. or they are just stupid and they don't know how to do it. because we figured it out, how to do it, they can figure it out, how to do it. and it's all about having the balls to do it. he often swaps horsepower for leg power on the streets of santa monica, and wants to change the way we shop. buy local products. i mean, it is absurd, this kind of tonnage of stuff we are shipping back and forth and creating this unbelievable pollution. but wouldn't people say that is just global capitalism and, as a republican, that is something...? you can have global capitalism, but you have to be smart about it. you can go and compete and all that stuff on a global level, but let's go and reduce pollution. because you can have the best capitalism, and global capitalism in the world, but if people are dead, they are dead. it's over. arnold still trains at the gym most days and he's happy to share his skills. exhale. no, i didn't say let go. but the question troubling many is how much heavy lifting world leaders will do at the upcoming climate summit in glasgow. i think we have conquered problems in the past. we have terminated problems in the past, i think that we can do it again. we all have to work together — that is the bottom line. and to take politics out and just say, "we've got to save the world." and we all have to work together. arnold schwarzenegger talking to tom heap for 39 ways to save the planet which is available on bbc sounds. let's return to our top story and the intensifying dispute between the uk and france over post—brexit fishing rules. the french ambassador in london has been summoned to explain the country's seizure of a british trawler. france says the uk's refusal to approve fishing licences to some of its boats is in breach of the brexit agreement. stephanie yon—courtin is a french mep and member of the eu fisheries committee. she herself is from normandy and she joins us now. thank you for being with as. first of all, ijust joins us now. thank you for being with as. first of all, i just want to ask you, where does this go to next? because it seems like the conditions are ripe for this row to escalate, ratherthan conditions are ripe for this row to escalate, rather than to ease? it is again up to the uk government to de—escalate the situation. things are still very clear, the situation is simple. uk government and channel islands authorities, in particular jersey, respecting the trade agreements the sign, under this agreements the sign, under this agreement fishing licences should be granted, the french fisher men's and the french authorities have the responsibility of european commission, so all the proof has been submitted several times. but again, ourseat been submitted several times. but again, our seat minister, been submitted several times. but again, ourseat minister, 90% been submitted several times. but again, our seat minister, 90% of requested licences, you guessed it, the 10% missing out those over french vessels. this is a clear signal of about face. we do not want escalation. we want to ease things. i feel really sorry for our fishermen, for the british fishermen as well, for the fish injersey. i would like to keep this as it has been... if would like to keep this as it has been... . ., , . been... ifi could “ust inter'ect, because uni been... ifi could “ust inter'ect, because the uk i been... ifi couldjust interject, because the uk government i

granted their licences, the vast majority have been granted their licences, so they are saying that the ones that haven't been given licence to fish, haven't been given licence to fish, have not been able to prove that they are entitled to it. trio. have not been able to prove that they are entitled to it.— they are entitled to it. no. i am not here to _ they are entitled to it. no. i am| not here

notice we have been trying for ten months to make sure that all the vessels got the licences. that is not the case. we are very far from the total vessels being able to get back their historical access to fish. we still have 10% of the vessels who haven't got their licences and authorisation. in addition to that, the thing is, the uk authorities introduced new measures, which are not to restrict access on the channel without notification to new partners. within the agreement, notification is required. once again, uk has failed to respect the agreements. what we want, is under the agreement. the agreement, and the agreement. the agreement, and the thing is that we do not want to escalate things. we have been trying to discuss for ten months now... fin to discuss for ten months

on sunday ? less than two months after prime minister fumio kishida was elected leader of the governing liberal democratic party. the party is expected to lose seats ? but not lose power. in fact it has only failed to retain power in two elections since 1955. so, what explains the enduring success of a party that regularly gets the votes ofjust a quarter of japan s registered voters? 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 the opposition win. - they don't have the experience ldp has. translation: i agree with my husband. i 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? on a tokyo street corner, 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 injapan 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 ofjapan's biggest opposition party. once or twice, i know his face, but i don't remember his name. are you interested in the election? are you going to bother voting? 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. now, it's time to have our monthly catch up with what happening in coventry, uk city of culture, which is hosting a year long festival of events. today we are looking at seaview — an original digital series developed using theatre techniques. let's go to coventry now, where our corrrespondent trish adudu has been keeping across what the

exciting. we are very proud, we are a city of culture. we always love a cameo from you, wherever that may be. thank you for talking to us. bring as the latest from the vatican, we are expecting this meeting between pope francis and us presidentjoe biden. i can hear a helicopter overhead. joe biden is set to arrive at the vatican, just behind me, in about ten, 15 minutes' time. he is the second american catholic president of the us. this is his fourth meeting with pope francis. they have met three times before. they have strong chemistry. pope francis, joe biden said, was a source of great comfort, whenjoe biden lost his son. and joe biden accompanied pope francis during much of his tour to america in 2016. this is a meeting in which they will discuss points that are close to both of their hearts. climate change, migration, the way out of the pandemic. perhaps they will not broach a thorny issue at the moment facing conservative american catholics, which is that he should be denied communion, they say, because of his support for abortion rights. pope francis has urged american clergy and american bishops not to do that, he said the need to take a pastoral rather than a political viewpoint. in many ways, pope francis and joe biden, on the liberal wing of the communities they represent, both of them quite disliked by the conservative circles among the american catholic church. in terms of their approach to tackling climate change, a lot of common ground they are, before leaving washington president biden set out a framework a spending bill which included the biggest climate investment in us history. we have been hearing early at the message that the pope recorded exclusively for the bbc, where he was putting out his message of hope that people would come together to tackle climate change. how significant is this meeting, when it comes to that particular topic? of course, we are just a couple of days away now from the un climate change conference in glasgow, that has been billed as the last best hope to stop runaway climate change. joe biden will be one of the world leaders at that meeting in glasgow. he is one of the t20 leaders, the leaders of the group of 20 worlds largest economies reading here in rome dash—mac meeting here in rome this weekend. the helicopter is overhead. i think the arrival ofjoe biden is very close. pope francis will not be present at that meeting in glasgow, despite expectations that he would attend. that is a blow to the cop26 organisers, but he would hope there is message on the bbc today, and is meeting withjoe biden, that he will urge world leaders in glasgow to reach agreement on those all—important climate change goals. and as was mentioned, we will bring you up to date and keep you updated on the arrival of the pope there in the vatican, which is imminent. some of the finest examples of early islamic art — the large mosaics at hisham's palace in the west bank city ofjericho have been restored — and officials hope they'll become a major tourist attraction. tim allman reports. they are astonishing and their scale and their ambition will stop and educate ornate sea of stone and colour, and details patterns. these mosaics date back more than 1000 years. part of the very fabric of this land. the size of the mosaic panel, 825 square metres. sorry to interrupt that report, but we just wanted to bring you these live pictures from the vatican, because the pope is arriving, as we have been mentioning, we have been expecting the arrival of pope francis in the vatican, and the us president, joe biden. we have been expecting their arrival for this meeting that they have got in the vatican. and that is what we are seeing images of at the moment. those are live pictures for you from the vatican. our correspondent is in rome for hours, he is therefore as now. as we expected, the arrival there. tell us about the significance of the meeting between these two leaders, pope francis and president iden. you can see they are, the beast, as it is called, the car of the us president, just sweeping up, it came up president, just sweeping up, it came up the road that leads to st peter's square, the road that was actually built by mussolini. it leads up to the vatican. it is the way in which the vatican. it is the way in which the visiting us delegation, most delegations coming to the vatican come up, then it will go around the side, into vatican city. joe biden becomes the second catholic american president to meet the leader of the world's1.3 billion catholics. it is a significant meeting. these are two men who are from similar generations, from solar wings of the communities that they preside over. the catholic church in the case of pope francis, the united states of america in the case ofjoe biden. dci to eye on many key social issues like climate change, all—important in that run up to the climate conference that happens in glasgow on sunday. on the issue of migration, on the issue of helping the poor these are all issues that will be discussed by the two men. we will be discussed by the two men. we will not get live pictures of the actual meeting itself. that was a ruling that came out from the vatican a little bit earlier. but we are expected to have that live cameras following the arrival ofjoe biden into vatican city itself. he is expected to get out of the beast, he will be greeted by, we believe, a representative, high ranking of sedative of the curia, as it is known here, the governing circle of the catholic church, he will be led into meat pope francis. there is a traditional exchange of gifts, which we will find out later what each leader will give to each other. —— meet pope francis. pope francis likely to stress to the us president that there is huge importance to reach agreement at the glasgow un climate conference. the pope using his exclusive bbc message this morning to call that world leaders in glasgow into action. the question i think this way that they will discuss the thorny issue at the moment of whetherjoe biden is going to be denied communion, bite more conservative catholic bishops, who believe that as support for abortion rights disqualifies him from the sacrament of communion. i do not know if that will be directly discussed by these two men, but it is something that is rather shrouding joe biden's visit to the vatican, in this, his fourth meeting with pope francis. as you mentioned, that thorny issue notwithstanding, a lot of common ground between the two men. in terms of looking at the focus on environmental issues, ahead of cop26, what is its likely that the tube will be discussing with regards to tackling climate change specifically? do we know what they will cover in this meeting? earlier this month pope francis convened a meeting of almost a0 faith leaders from around the world. all the major religions, and smaller faiths. they all came here to the vatican, they issued a joint appeal, which was then handed to the president of cop26, and to the italian foreign minister who co—chairs the summit, urging world leaders to reach agreement on key issues like stopping global temperature rises going above 1.5 degrees, above preindustrial levels. the need to reach carbon neutrality, net zero carbon emissions by the middle of the century. in return, these faith leaders, the pope among them, took it upon themselves to commit to informing and educating the faithful more about ecological and environmental issues. that was and environmental issues. that was an important precursor to the cop26 meeting, and once again showed pope francis's environmentalism, he has placed environmentalism at the core office papacy. he intervened before the 2015 paris climate conference, urging agreement then, he is hoping intervention now might push a few more world leaders towards agreements in glasgow, and this meeting now withjoe biden, with his car having finished its journey into the vatican will be a hugely important meeting to discuss these sorts of issues before the climate conference gets under way. 0f of course, hugely reinforced, withstanding any kind of unforeseen event, or most unforeseen events and he will shortly exit that car and he will be led in, swiss guards as the ready, taken into the papal study, where he will the pope. he has spoke none the past of how the pope has been a source of huge comfort to him, a time of crisis, personal tragedy in losing his son, this is a us president who was educated at catholic schools, he is a devout catholic, he attends mass regular will and he has a photo of a previous meeting with pope francis on his desk in the oval office. i assume a couple more snaps from today meeting might be added to that photo collection, after this. an honourforer photo collection, after this. an honour forer the photo collection, after this. an honourforer the president photo collection, after this. an honour forer the president of course, to meet the leader of the world's 1.3 course, to meet the leader of the world's1.3 billion catholics, a meeting of minds as well as these two men come together, for this meeting today, and we will get images of that meeting shortly after it happens. thank you very much. much.s, you are watching bbc news asjoe biden arrives at the vatican to meet the pope, as we were hearing there from mark, it is the fourth time actually that the two men have met, and the last time they met was in 2016, just a year afterjoe biden had lost his son beau and joe biden has spoken of the support the pope gave him at that time, meeting with notjustjoe biden but also the extended family, so there the moment thatjoe biden gets out of that official car, as he heads into the vatican to meet the pope, and this, of course, coming before cop26, joe biden's wife and they will go through and meet the pope, i am they will go through and meet the pope, iam not they will go through and meet the pope, i am not clear at this point how long these pictures are going to go on for because there has been a suggestion we won't see the moment that they meet live, that the, the live pictures will end after these greetings here, before he goes through to meet the pope but we will keep watching, obviously and see what happens, at this point, but, they will no doubt be discussing climate change among other issues, ahead of cop26. and joe biden... not sure if we can hear something. let's have a listen. so there, as i suspected i don't think we will get a live camera from inside the vatican for that moment when they meet, in there. the last time may met was in the united states, a very important moment there forjoe biden as he goes into there forjoe biden as he goes into the vatican to meet with the pope, and the pope has been speaking about the radical decisions as he put it, that the world faces, a succession of crises in health care, the environment, food supplies and the economy. he you may have heard this morning on radio a he recorded a special thought for the day in which he outlined his thoughts ahead of cop26. he won't be there, but he, he spoke of what he described as climate change and the pandemic exposing the world's deep vulnerability raising doubts and concerns about our economic systems and the way we organise our societies. so, we may, i expect get pictures late over the moment that pope francis and joe biden meet and we will bring you those pictures as we will bring you those pictures as we get them. for now we will leave vatican city. you are watching bbc news. you are watching bbc news. the french ambassador in london has been summoned to the foreign office in the next few hours to explain the country's seizure of a british trawler, in an escalating dispute over post—brexit fishing rights. paris is threatening more action unless the uk issues more licences to fish in its waters. damian grammaticas has more. in may, french fishing boats gathered offjersey. their anger is that, despite the uk and jersey agreeing after brexit that french boats could continue fishing in coastal waters, dozens have applied and not had permits approved. the issue for many french boats is proving they've habitually fished in uk and jersey waters. smaller boats may not have had monitoring systems to track their movements. their current access will expire this weekend. if more licences are not granted by next week, the french government has said it will impose measures that could limit uk trade. translation: as britain does not respect what was agreed - regarding licences for our fishermen, we will strictly limit british boats landing their catches in french ports. we will begin systematic health and customs inspections, and we'll put in place checks on exports heading to the uk. yesterday this uk trawler was detained — it's now in the port of le havre, accused of fishing without a permit in french waters. now uk seafood exporters are worried they may face disruption supplying their biggest market — the eu — in the key period before christmas, and don't want a dispute with french fishermen. we fish the same areas, we need joint management, and big politics is trying to get in the way of that and we're trying to maintain the bridges that we have with them. at the end of the day, they're our colleagues and we fish alongside them — we don't want to see their businesses fail. in london, the government has called the proposed french actions "unjustified". the government has said we are very happy to give licences to the very few remaining people who have not got their licences, but we need to have some evidence to show that you meet the criteria. but with the french ambassador summoned to the foreign office and the uk government promising an appropriate response, the political dynamics could see this dispute escalate fast. damian grammaticas, bbc news. well, speaking to bbc breakfast this morning, this is how the environment secretary, george eustice, reacted to what he sees as french threats. two can play at that game is what i would say. but in the first instance what we're doing is raising this with the european commission, since obviously the eu represents france on fisheries matters and is the partner we deal with internationally on these things. obviously it's always open to us to increase the enforcement that that we do on french vessels — to board more of them if that's what they're doing to our vessels. we've said that, for now, we're not going to respond in the way that france has — we're going to raise this with the commission and we're going to raise it through diplomatic channels with the french ambassador. but we'll reserve our right to do more things, obviously, if france continue to press ahead with these threats. a cross—border rail line remains closed this morning after two road bridges were washed away in dumfries and galloway. network rail has confirmed the extreme weather had forced the closure of the line between dumfries and carlisle until further notice. a major incident was declared in hawick last night after hours of torrential rain. police have described the flooding as some of the worst in the region for a number of years. aruna iyengar has this report. scotland was lashed with torrential rain, with multiple flood and danger—to—life warnings across the country. here in dumfries and galloway, the river annan burst its banks. two footbridges were swept away — including this, the cuthbertson memorial bridge. in the whitesands area of dumfries, police warned people to stay away from the area after the river nith burst its banks. emergency services worked together, rescuing four people from flooded homes. in hawick in the scottish borders, the river teviot reached a peak of 2.9 metres before water started to recede. residents had been evacuated from homes, but there's some relief — they've now been told it's safe to go home. schools in the peebles area were closed as the river tweed burst its banks. this, a river bank view in cumbria — a month's worth of rain fell on wednesday and into thursday. here in cockermouth, flood defences have been a lifeline, but residents are weary and want longer—term solutions. i think the government need to look seriously at climate change and try and work out ways that we can help people, support people and stop this kind of damage from happening in the future. yellow weather warnings are in place for today across cumbria, the scottish borders, wales and devon and cornwall. it means more rain, which could lead to travel disruption and flooded roads. damage to homes and businesses is still possible. these are anxious times for people living low—lying areas. living in low—lying areas. aruna iyengar, bbc news. i'm joined by stewart mounsey, the environment agency flood risk manager for cumbria. welcome, thank you very much for joining what is the

next six year programme to 2027, and nationally, there is £5.2 billion of investment in flood defences that will allow us to work with other communities across cumbria, and improve their flood defences, so, that includes communities, such as kendal and we have a alsojust communities, such as kendal and we have a also just finished defences in carlisle as well. so have a also just finished

could be some time before people who feel they need support right now actually get it? so, defences are part of the solution to flooding, but we can never build defences that will protect from all floods, so we would encourage people to find out whether they are at risk of flooding, they can do that by going on to the website and typing in check my flood risk, that will enable them to check their property, if you are at flood risker, i would encourage people to sign up for risker, i would encourage people to sign upfor our risker, i would encourage people to sign up for ourfree risker, i would encourage people to sign up for our free flood warnings, that means you get the best information in terms of, most current information, and also think about preparing a plan as well in terms of

manufacturers to submit products for approval. it could mean england becomes the first country in the world to prescribe e—cigarettes as a medical product. professor of public health linda bauld says it's a significant policy shift there are thousands of vaping products available. they're only regulated by consumer regulation, there's no products that are available as medicines with medicinal approval, and the mhra, their processes are really tough, actually, to go through, and we haven't seen e—cigarette manufacturers come forward to do that, so they've reviewed the processes and they're making them a little bit more straightforward and they're now today announcing that they are encouraging manufacturers to come forward. i still have some doubts how many will do that because it's still going to be complicated, but there are definitely advantages to having consumer product e—cigarettes available on the market and also the alternative of a prescription vaping product. and that's what this announcement may make easier. the main advantages of prescription e—cigarettes are... if you ask smokers, around 30% of them have not tried vaping — and the most common reason for that is concerns about safety. in fact, around the same proportion think that vaping is just as dangerous as smoking, which isn't true. so a prescription product would give more reassurance about that — these are rigorous tests it would have to go through. and then the second one is cost, because smoking is more common in more disadvantaged groups and they may be put off by the cost of vaping, so on prescription may be a better option there. the headlines on bbc news... the french ambassador in london has been called for talks at the foreign office, as a dispute between the uk and france over post—brexit fishing rights continues. president biden has arrived at the vatican for an audience with the pope — he's in rome for the g20 leader's summit this weekend. heavy rain in southern scotland and north west england causes flooding and disrupts one of the main rail links between the countries. pressure is mounting on the world's richest nations to share vaccines with poorer countries 7 as coronavirus cases once again start to spike around the world, and g20 leaders prepare to meet in rome. influential global figures — including more than 160 former world leaders — are calling on western countries to send millions of surplus covid vaccines to less developed countries, before they expire. the former prime minister, gordon brown, has been vocal about the need for global vaccine equity. he's been speaking to the bbc. countries have over—ordered and they're overstocked and they're not getting the vaccines out quickly enough, so a lot of vaccines could be wasted past their expiry date, and we know that nobody is safe anywhere until everybody is vaccinated everywhere. i think that today you will pass this terrible figure — five million deaths already from covid — and what the world health organization is saying, that there will be another five million more deaths unless we act. we've had 2115 million cases of covid. there could be 200 million more in the next year alone. and that's why we've got to act, because if the disease spreads in the poorer countries, then you have new mutations of the disease, new variants. they will come back to haunt us. and even the fully vaccinated here, like you and me, we will be vulnerable to this disease in a new form. that's why we've got to vaccinate everybody. an estimated 13 million women in the uk are living with the menopause, but the treatment to relieve its symptoms can amount to hundreds or even thousands of pounds. today, mps are due to vote on a bill that, if passed, would make hormone replacement therapy free in england. here's more from our political correspondent helen catt. because i'm post—menopausal, so i have got a pill — progesterone and oestrogen. so that goes on the top. i don't know what it is. it's got the most amazing glue, because it really does stick. adele martin went through the menopause just before she left a career in finance to run this pub in kent. from confidence to mood swings to brain fog, to where sometimes the people around me just weren't really sure what mood i was going to be in. i could be really, really tearful or really, really, really grumpy. and then, bizarrely, things like electric shocks, as well. but they were quite funny. electric shocks? yeah, my daughter didn't want to come near me, because she was scared, because every time i got out of the car, i seemed to create electric shocks. but overall, her experience was anything but funny. i felt like i just completely lost myself. and at the time, ijust didn't know what it was. sorry. it was menopause. and this is why i do what i do, because i just didn't want another woman...to look in the mirror and lose themselves like i did. i talk to women. it's taken me probably the last two years to really share my story. and the more i share my story, the more women share theirs. and it's just not fair. so it has sort of given me the courage to share my story. so if somebody else listens to what happened to me, then hopefully, they will ask for help, because i didn't know. she says hormone replacement therapy, hrt, stopped her hot flushes and helped her feel normal again. nine years later, she's still using it, paying £9.35 for each box. there does seem to be growing agreement in westminster that more needs to be done to help women navigate their way through the menopause — to help them find the right treatments for their symptoms. that could be through greater awareness, through more education for gps. but some want to see more help with the costs. the labour mp carolyn harris is trying to get mps to vote to make hrt free in england as it is in scotland, wales and northern ireland. we're talking about 51% of the population who are suffering this and need... they need the choices to make that decision if they want hrt. it's not for everyone, but it's also about everything else. it's notjust about the hrt. with millions of women in england eligible, the cost of making hrt free would be significant. and it's notjust menopausal women who have to pay for prescriptions. people with long—term health conditions have been campaigning for their medications to become free in england, too. for somebody like parkinson's, that means that you could have eight or nine medications each month. so it's really expensive to live with a long—term condition like that. you can, however, buy a prepayment certificate. so for three months it costs just over £30. for 12 months it costs just over £108. but some people have told us, particularly those with long—term conditions, that actually it's quite a lot of money still to to find. only a small proportion of menopausal women who could take hrt actually do. a flawed study in the early 2000s led to misleading publicity about the possible risks. it's still blamed for putting women off. in a statement, the government said it was deeply committed to ensuring women are able to access high—quality menopause treatment, including hormone replacement therapy. this is my design. adele is herself off to parliament today, adding her voice to the calls for change. helen catt, bbc news, rochester. the energy regulator ofgem says it will review the structure of the energy price cap, that has prevented suppliers passing on a spike in wholesale costs to customers. 16 energy firms have gone out of business this year. ofgem says it wants to make sure that the price cap reflects "the costs, risks and uncertainties facing the supply companies" it regulates. the social networking giant facebook has changed its corporate name to "meta" as part of a major rebrand. the change does not apply to its individual platforms — such as facebook, instagram and whatsapp — only the parent company that owns them. founder mark zuckerberg said the new name better reflects the firm's ambitions to move beyond social media into areas such as virtual reality. a public consultation into a proposed ban on conversion therapy has started today. conversion therapy is described by health bodies as an attempt to change or suppress someone's sexual orientation or gender identity. the consultation will invite the public to give their input over what the terms of the ban should be. this includes how to safeguard therapists and religious freedom, while protecting people from harm. joining me now is jayne ozanne, chair of the ban conversion therapy coalition. she is a gay christian who was herself subjected to a form of this therapy for almost 20 years. she was a government equality adviser until she resigned earlier this year. also i'm joined by leni morris, chief executive officer of the lgbt+ anti—abuse charity galop, which has today launched a national conversion therapy helpline to support victims and survivors of conversion therapy. welcome, thank you both very much forjoining us. jane, if i can come to you first, i appreciate you have had a very long history of conversion therapy and there will be a lot to go into. if you wouldn't mind giving us a brief overview of the sort of process it entails and what you experienced? this a the sort of process it entails and what you experienced? as a

just could find believed that god would heal me, if ijust could find the right key, if you like, the right reason why i had become gay, so i went through years of healing prayer ministry, of being told there was something in my past that caused me to be gay, of perhaps, i wept through a lot of exorcisms too, and i did this privately but it, in a christian setting, but it caused such deep trauma to me, i ended up in hospital twice, fighting for my life, my body wracked with stress, i was led to the darkest of places where i contemplated taking my life and it is that, that i wants to protect

law, that will try and protect people but it doesn't protect the most dangerous and the most common forms, in the uk, which is religious practises among concepting adults who believe their faith has toad them to go through this, that is why we need to ensure that we listen to lawyers, the human rights lawyers who come together and have been clear to government that consent cannot but a basis for allowing loopholes and there are times when we have to limit religious freedom, as we have done with female genital mutilation and forced marriage, and other matters, where with status had to step in

with anything that is a complicated situation, defining a law that doesn't have unintended, unforeseen consequences is complicated, but i just want to read a quote from baroness helena kennedy, because in looking into this she said many have questioned whether it the possible to agree a clear deaf mission of conversion therapy, we recommend it is referred to as any practise that seeks to suppress cure or change a person's sexual orientation or gender identity. this captures the practises of those who are intent on trying to heal people, to make them normal, as well as those so—called therapies whose purpose is to sup perez a person's gender identity. how do you see that and the broader debate? ~ ., , , , ,., debate? well, we would fully support that broad definition, _ debate?

concerns from some that in criminalising this area, it could lead to conversations not happening because of concerns that people might be perceived as putting undue pressure on somebody. i think that is a process we can have during the process of legislation and the important point from our perspective are supporting victims that are going through this and jane has talked about her experience that you see and things like jane has described and we have seen other forms of really deep psychological abuse, of convective sexual assault, a physical assault, all the way up to threatened murder in these cases so i think the real focus for us is that this ban is an important step forward for our community and helping to protect and keep safe lg bt community and helping to protect and keep safe

suggested that there may be some limitations on adults and that they need to have informed consent but that is meaningless in a religious setting. you give your consent because you trust those in authority over you to do the right thing, like when you go for an operation or you are given a consent form, the surgeon will take you through the risk but because you trust him in because you believe it is the right medical pathway for you you sign it and in exactly the same way you will be signing consent because you believe it is the right thing and then ultimately when it doesn't work the pressure lands on you yet again i think that is what the government has failed to understand or even reference in their document is the constant psychological pressure within religious communities when you are constantly growing up being told that you you are is wrong, that you feel a deep level of shame and guilt and that you are the problem because you don't have enough faith but obviously your prayers aren't working, and it is that tortuous journey that goes on year after year that causes such deep psychological trauma to adults. it's you do need to look again, this is difficult territory but we have limited my i speak as a christian and a member of the general synod of the church of england, we do limit religious freedoms woman know they cause harm and is an area when we need the government is of the government have around the world to intervene to protect those most at risk. thank ou both protect those most at risk. thank you both for _ protect those most at risk.

hampered by a number of injuries and because the games outside world rugby�*s international window may play unavailable. it is about what is the combination that we think and get the job done out of the players that have available so it has been a tricky time, i got to say. it has been 19 days now to gather as a group and with this group just focusing on one game of rugby so that is how we pitched it we will have reinforcements coming to the squad next week. tennis next and there was a shock defeat of tsitsipas in the open and he was beaten by a player ranked 49th in the world, american qualifier coming from a set down to win and he is going to face argentina's diego schwartzman in the finals. in the number two seed alexander zverev is safely through to the last eight and he needed three sets to see of the unseeded australian and over won four titles this year including the olympic gold medal. he took the deciding set 6— to an upset stomach next to him as the number six seed

find on the trading and cooperation agreement which was agreed between the eu in the uk last christmas and there are provisions in there about fishing matters and at the moment the commission is doing nothing and so meanwhile the uk and france are slinging mud or should i say fish at each other. so how much you read into that silence in the european commission, then? because we have got the diplomatic wrangling of the french ambassador being summoned to see the europe minister here. how serious a step as that? it minister here. how serious a step as that? , ., ., , , ., . that? it is not great because france is one of our— that? it is not great because france is one of our allies _ that? it is not great because france is one of our allies but _ that? it is not great because france is one of our allies but remember i is one of our allies but remember the ambassador has been summoned to see the fisheries minister, not the secretary of state, so perhaps we should keep this in perspective. but i think what we could say is that france is genuinely concerned because under the trade and cooperation agreement fishing boats from france that used to fishing the waters ofjersey and guernsey needed to prove that they had fished there in the past and the big boats this is easy to do because they had expensive equipment that was able to track theirfishing expensive equipment that was able to track their fishing patterns. expensive equipment that was able to track theirfishing patterns. small boats come on the other hand, don't have that same expensive equipment and they have struggled to prove their entitlement. now, the french say of course they can show and tell someone in other ways. the uk says they haven't shown the proper documentation. what you are seeing here is that the uk is being rigid about interpretation of aspects of the trade and cooperation agreement and the french asking for flex ability for small boats. there is a bit of an irony here because as far as the northern ireland protocol is concerned you will remember that the uk is asking the eu to show flexibility of the interpretation of its single market rules to try and relax controls at the northern ireland border and the french are saying no flexibility is allowed so you can see there's an element of biscuit for tat and going on. ning area that would _ biscuit for tat and going on. ning area that would be _ biscuit for tat and going on. ning area that would be right obviously for discussion when the two sides to get together to work out how much flexibility there should be across the piece going forward. in terms of the piece going forward. in terms of the number of boats involved here, how many boats are we talking? i5 the number of boats involved here, how many boats are we talking? is a how many boats are we talking? is a lack of chow — how many boats are we talking? i3 — lack of chow down my clarity here because lord foster said the uk has granted 90% of the license is only 2% haven't been granted. the firm says somewhere in the region of about 50% in a matter of tens of boats. it likely depends on how you do the calculations are not forced's figure seems to relate to fishing licenses as a whole for the french web is the french are more concerned about the lack of licences in and around jersey and guernsey. it is worth remembering to that because all of this has got a history you will remember going back to may local elections there were already concerns about the granting of licences and borisjohnson sent a navy ship to the waters around jersey and guernsey and the french probably retaliated so you can see to how both sides want to make a play to their own constituents to show that they are being tough but, of course, if both sides are squaring up to each other, it means that there is not a great deal of space for compromise, and, as with the northern ireland protocol, fishing, what you really need is some technocratic solutions which had done more quietly without this megaphone diplomacy which is taking place at the moment and i suspect it is for that reason that this commission doesn't want to get actively involved. no doubt it is involved but it seems just to try and lower the temperature is about. and how much, then, is actually at stake here? do you think? how much will be being done on this technocratic solutions behind—the—scenes on how long do you think the whole process could take? in fact, under the trade and cooperation agreement the commission can start proceedings against the uk and pending on the nature of the proceedings they can be pretty quick. we give notification and then retaliatory measures could be applied and then you go to the arbitration tribunal so you get your retaliation in first before you have some sort of quasi—judicial tight period but also remember the fishing sector in the uk is tiny, less than .1% of gdp, and it is even smaller in france but it is a really politically sensitive sector on both sides of the channel and of course remember to that a lot of the fishing community voted leave because they thought they would get a good deal. they are disappointed with the deal that the uk negotiated under the trading cooperation agreement and in particular they are concerned about the paperwork that they have to produce in order to get their goods onto the european market, so, of course, this is one way borisjohnson and rod frost playing to the space to say look, we are listening to your concerns and we are fighting your corner. thank ou ve we are fighting your corner. thank you very much _ we are fighting your corner. thank you very much for _ we are fighting your corner. thank you very much forjoining - we are fighting your corner. thank you very much

advocacy group the farm safety foundation. the figures have been shared exclusively with the bbc news channel — and the percentage in cateogires related to mental health struggles have gone up each year since the research started in 2019. the charity says the new research highlights the impact of the pandemic on young farmers' mental health. ed dungait is an arable farmer from northumberland and

and wales with 20,000 members, this is available to them now and many have undertaken it already. so, basically, to increase awareness of mental health, learn how to improve your own and signpost were to get help when we need it. so we're pushing us as hard as possible is also young farmers clubs in general are a great network of fairly like minded people and an opportunity for everyone to share ideas, share their thoughts, and enjoy themselves which is positive mental health. find enjoy themselves which is positive mental health.— enjoy themselves which is positive mental health. and of those things workin: on mental health. and of those things working on making _ mental health. and of those things working on making enough - mental health. and of those things working on making enough of i mental health. and of those things working on making enough of a i working on making enough of a difference, of a concerned while generally bout it becoming... i mean, when we talk about 90% of farmers under the age of a0 being concerned about the mental health, you concerned that that might impact on the future of farming because obviously the young are the future? it is a worry for mothers in the industry that they may be put off the industry by that but i think the fact that the figures are looking so high is actually a reflection of how good our research is now. in the past, say, ten, 20 years ago, very few farmers would have admitted any weakness and having any mental health issues. i think the fact our research is getting better and people are more willing to talk about it is part of the reason that our figures are so high sol our figures are so high so i think it is also a reflection of the fact that we are actually making progress and people are willing to talk about it and admit their issues, which is half the problem.— half the problem. absolutely. ed dunn date. _ half the problem. absolutely. ed dunn date, thank _ half the problem. absolutely. ed dunn date, thank

lorraine witmarsh — environmental psychologist at the university of bath and director of the centre for climate change and social transformations and also i'm joined by professor alice larkin — professor in climate science and energy policy at the university of manchester. welcome, both of you. thank you very much forjoining us. let's go straight to a question for you lorraine from audrey who wants to know how much is cop26 costing and who is paying for it? i do know how much is cop26 costing and who is paying for it?— who is paying for it? i do not have the exact total _ who is paying for it? i do not have the exact total figure _ who is paying for it? i do not have the exact total figure of _ who is paying for it? i do not have the exact total figure of the i who is paying for it? i do not have the exact total figure of the cost l the exact total figure of the cost of cop26 but my understanding is that the uk government with contributions from italy and being the host will be footing a loss of their bail in terms of putting on their bail in terms of putting on the venue and that side of things and, obviously, then individual countries will be paying into travel and so on so because the cop is hosted in different places, each year it is the uk's turn to foot most of the bill this time. alice, do ou most of the bill this time. alice, do you have _ most of the bill this

planet and have to cut greenhouse gas but how can the world to take any of the seriously when 25 25,000 people will be attending cop26 in glasgow? i when 25 25,000 people will be attending cop26 in

us, according to the financial times the scottish policy authority which oversees scotland's national police force estimated the cost of policing the summit at £250 million. that was in february but it has now revised that to under 200 million and separately the scottish government has apparently cut £a0 million of the £110 million estimate of other costs including transport and health version that it had provided to uk official so there we 9°. provided to uk official so there we go, there is a sense of the cost of cop26 so back to you lorraine. will the progress of every country be made

themselves some of them will be televised on some of them will be televised on some of the more formal negotiations but a lot of things actually happen behind—the—scenes and some horse trading in

flights just before the uk hosting cop26? yes, i think that was one of the more controversial things that we saw in the budget this week. i would have to say that that does not particularly align well with showing leadership on climate change and so, yes, i think we have to hold the government to account on that and it is definitely the place that we need to improve alternatives to domestic aviation in the uk and not encourage people to fly where we actually have pretty good lower carbon options in this country so i would agree that that seems like a slightly tricky decision on his

generations — in an exclusive message for the bbc. this crisis lays in front of us radical decisions, but each hurdle also represents an opportunity that cannot be wasted. england could become the

of a british trawler, in an escalating dispute over post—brexit fishing rights. paris is threatening more action unless the uk issues more licences to fish in its waters. damian grammaticas has more. in may, french fishing boats gathered offjersey. their anger is that, despite the uk and jersey agreeing after brexit that french boats could continue fishing in coastal waters, dozens have applied and not had permits approved. the issue for many french boats is proving they've habitually fished in uk and jersey waters. smaller boats may not have had monitoring systems to track their movements. their current access will expire this weekend. if more licences are not granted by next week, the french government has said it will impose measures that could limit uk trade. translation: as britain does not respect what was agreed - regarding licences for our fishermen, we will strictly limit british boats landing their catches in french ports. we will begin systematic health and customs inspections, and we'll put in place checks on exports heading to the uk. yesterday this uk trawler was detained — it's now in the port of le havre, accused of fishing without a permit in french waters. now uk seafood exporters are worried they may face disruption supplying their biggest market — the eu — in the key period before christmas, and don't want a dispute with french fishermen. we fish the same areas, we need joint management, and big politics is trying to get in the way of that and we're trying to maintain the bridges that we have with them. at the end of the day, they're our colleagues and we fish alongside them — we don't want to see their businesses fail. in london, the government has called the proposed french actions "unjustified". the government has said we are very happy to give licences to the very few remaining people who have not got their licences, but we need to have some evidence to show that you meet the criteria. but with the french ambassador summoned to the foreign office and the uk government promising an appropriate response, the political dynamics could see this dispute escalate fast. damian grammaticas, bbc news. well speaking to bbc breakfast this morning, this is how the environment secretary, george eustice, reacted to what he sees as french threats. two can play at that game is what i would say. but in the first instance what we're doing is raising this with the european commission, since obviously the eu represents france on fisheries matters and is the partner we deal with internationally on these things. obviously it's always open to us to increase the enforcement that that we do on french vessels — to board more of them if that's what they're doing to our vessels. we've said that, for now, we're not going to respond in the way that france has — we're going to raise this with the commission and we're going to raise it through diplomatic channels with the french ambassador. but we'll reserve our right to do more things, obviously, if france continue to press ahead with these threats. let me bring you the latest figures on the number of covid cases, we are hearing from the office for national stit statistic, an estimated one in 50 people had covid—i9 in the last week, that compares with i in 55 the previous week. so week, that compares with i in 55 the previous week. 50 sometimes the figures are up, sometimes they are down but what we are seeing from this is that the number of people overall with covid—i9 across the latest week has increased. now one in 50 people in england with it. there's major disruption on the west coast mainline this lunchtime after heavy rain in cumbria and southern scotland in recent days. trains are still not running north of preston. a major incident was declared in hawick last night after hours of torrential rain. police have described the flooding as some of the worst in the region for a number of years. aruna iyengar has this report. scotland was lashed with torrential rain, with multiple flood and danger—to—life warnings across the country. here in dumfries and galloway, the river annan burst its banks. two footbridges were swept away — including this, the cuthbertson memorial bridge. in the whitesands area of dumfries, police warned people to stay away from the area after the river nith burst its banks. emergency services worked together, rescuing four people from flooded homes. in hawick in the scottish borders, the river teviot reached a peak of 2.9 metres before water started to recede. residents had been evacuated from homes, but there's some relief — they've now been told it's safe to go home. schools in the peebles area were closed as the river tweed burst its banks. this, a river bank view in cumbria — a month's worth of rain fell on wednesday and into thursday. here in cockermouth, flood defences have been a lifeline, but residents are weary and want longer—term solutions. i think the government need to look seriously at climate change and try and work out ways that we can help people, support people and stop this kind of damage from happening in the future. yellow weather warnings are in place for today across cumbria, the scottish borders, wales and devon and cornwall. it means more rain, which could lead to travel disruption and flooded roads. damage to homes and businesses is still possible. these are anxious times for people living low—lying areas. living in low—lying areas. aruna iyengar, bbc news. one of the rail lines between scotland and england remains closed this morning after two footbridges were washed away in flood waters. it follows a day of torrential rain in parts of the border region and cumbria — with more downpours forecast today. the floods damaged property and closed several roads. megan paterson has more. well, as you can see, the river running through cockermouth this morning is still fast flowing, pretty high, but the good news is the water levels are starting to recede. you can see this line of leaves on the grass here and this is where the water level was last night, but it has gone down very quickly this morning. we couldn't see the bottom of the bins are benches when we came down here that five en. the environment agency is telling us this is a slowly improving picture and water levels, river levels have peaked right across the county and lakes are beginning to level out. that is good news but there is still heavy rain forecast. there are still nine flood warnings in place across cumbria are people being urged to keep vigilant and keep an eye on the forecast to be mindful of floodwater if they live near it. we know that a0 properties, unfortunately, flooded yesterday. those people will be trying to dry out their properties today. hopefully nobody else will be affected. the environment agency, obviously, encouraging us to follow the forecast but hopefully a major a flooding event has been avoided here. still quite significant traffic disruption. one bridge closed as the county council looks its structure. there is a bit of leaf here, a sense of calm here, other places in cumbria, as it seems like the worse of this has passed. that county that is too familiar with flooding so any time there is heavy rainfall people are understandably nervous, they know the damage that water like this can do, but today, it is a slowly improving picture, there is still a weather alert in place, but we expect by this afternoon the rain should ease off, what is falling is falling on saturated ground on rivers that are quite full but hopefully the environment agency rage saying there is enough capacity in the system for this to go on, and for it to pass hopefully without any more major disruption. earlier stewart mounsey, the environment agency flood risk manager for cumbria gave us an update on the situation. overnight the rain has eased. we are seeinu less overnight the rain has eased. we are seeing less today, _

the situation today, so the rivers particularly, the rivers that we are focusing on, the river derwent and another river, so those run through cockermouth and egremont. and we are watching them closely because they are going to stay high for the rest of the day, and teams are actually monitoring those from the office, and also out in the field, making sure that those defences work properly, and our defences work properly, and our defences across cumbria are protected over 1200 properties over the recent days, that would otherwise have been flooded. obviously these are areas, some of them familiar with issues round flooding, when you talk about flood defences is it a different picture from last time round? 50 defences is it a different picture from last time round?— from last time

properties have been affected over the last few day, and you know, flooding is devastating, and recovering from flooding does take a long time, the environment agency is working on its next six year programme, to 2027, and nationally there is £5.2 billion of investment in flood defences that will allow to us work with other communities across cumbria, and improve their flood defences, so that includes communities such as kendal and we have alsojust finished communities such as kendal and we have also just finished defences in carlisle as well. e—cigarettes could soon be prescribed on the nhs in england to help people stop smoking. the medicines regulator is inviting manufacturers to submit products for approval. it could mean england becomes the first country in the world to prescribe e—cigarettes as a medical product. professor of public health linda bauld says it's a significant policy shift. there are thousands of vaping products available. they're only regulated by consumer regulation, there's no products that are available as medicines with medicinal approval, and the mhra, their processes are really tough, actually, to go through, and we haven't seen e—cigarette manufacturers come forward to do that, so they've reviewed the processes and they're making them a little bit more straightforward and they're now today announcing that they are encouraging manufacturers to come forward. i still have some doubts how many will do that because it's still going to be complicated, but there are definitely advantages to having consumer product e—cigarettes available on the market and also the alternative of a prescription vaping product. and that's what this announcement may make easier. the main advantages of prescription e—cigarettes are... if you ask smokers, around 30% of them have not tried vaping — and the most common reason for that is concerns about safety. in fact, around the same proportion think that vaping is just as dangerous as smoking, which isn't true. so a prescription product would give more reassurance about that — these are rigorous tests it would have to go through. and then the second one is cost, because smoking is more common in more disadvantaged groups and they may be put off by the cost of vaping, so on prescription may be a better option there. the social networking giant facebook has changed its corporate name to "meta" as part of a major rebrand. the change does not apply to its individual platforms — such as facebook, instagram and whatsapp — only the parent company that owns them. the government says the uk could respond in turn if france goes ahead with threats to stop british boats landing there, amid a row over post—brexit fishing rights. president biden is at the vatican for an audience with pope francis. the us leader is in rome for the g20 leader's summit this weekend. heavy rain in southern scotland and north west england causes flooding and disrupts one of the main cross—border rail links.

weekend in rome to agree how to transfer surplus covid—i9 vaccines to low—income countries. the call comes from a group of former presidents and prime ministers. the former prime minister, gordon brown, has been vocal about the need for global vaccine equity. he's been speaking to the bbc. countries have over—ordered and they're overstocked and they're not getting the vaccines out quickly enough, so a lot of vaccines could be wasted past their expiry date, and we know that nobody is safe anywhere until everybody is vaccinated everywhere. i think that today you will pass this terrible figure — five million deaths already from covid — and what the world health organization is saying, that there will be another five million more deaths unless we act. we've had 2115 million cases of covid. there could be 200 million more in the next year alone. and that's why we've got to act, because if the disease spreads in the poorer countries, then you have new mutations of the disease, new variants. they will come back to haunt us. and even the fully vaccinated here, like you and me, we will be vulnerable to this disease in a new form. that's why we've got to vaccinate everybody. for the first time, journalists are to be allowed to report family court hearings in england and wales. the most seniorjudge in the family division, sir andrew mcfarlane, says a perception of excessive secrecy is harming the reputation of the courts, but stressed that identities would still be protected. lucy reed is a family barrister and chair of the transparency project, that's an educational charity which aims to make familyjustice clearer. welcome, thank you forjoining us. so what difference would this mean? it is not going to happen overnight. there will need to be some changes to the rules and planning round the detail, but it is going to make a big difference, it is really difficult at the moment for the public or people who might be involved in family court proceedings, and for those working in the system, to get a good sense, a good balanced sense of what is working, what is not working well, how the law works and how the process works, this set of reforms, once they are in place, should make it much easierfor the once they are in place, should make it much easier for the public to understand what is going on, much easierfor reporters to understand what is going on, much easier for reporters to tell the story of what is happening in family courts, and much easierfor the system to think about ways in which it might do better. find system to think about ways in which it might do better.— it might do better. and so, i mean some might _ it might do better. and so, i mean some might say. _ it might do better. and so, i mean some might say, well, _ it might do better. and so, i mean some might say, well, what - it might do better. and so, i mean some might say, well, what doesl it might do better. and so, i mean| some might say, well, what does it matter to anybody externally to know what is going on in the family courts when it's a private matter, so what would you say are the issues that arise from the family courts being the way they are, and being closed? . , ., ., , closed? there are tens of thousands of children every _ closed? there are tens of thousands of children every year, _ closed? there are tens of thousands of children every year, who - closed? there are tens of thousands of children every year, who are - closed? there are tens of thousands of children every year, who are the l of children every year, who are the subject of proceedings, in the family court, and i am leaving aside questions of divorce and or —— sorting out philippineses but thinking of those children, judges are making really profound decisions about whether they should see their other parent, whether they should live with either parent, whether they should be removed from their family and never return, and it is really important that the public on whose behalf all those decisions are being made, knows that that system is being well and fairly run, if it is being well and fairly run, if it is not it knows it is not so people can argue for improvements, and it is really important for the families, who are having to go through those proceedings, that they can feel confident, that it is being done fairly, people are accountable and that system is responsive to criticism and to challenge. 50 and that system is responsive to criticism and to challenge. so how does allowing _ criticism and to challenge. so how does allowing reporting _ criticism and to challenge. so how does allowing reporting albeit - criticism and to challenge. so how| does allowing reporting albeit with continued anonymity in order to protect the kids change those issues? ~ . ., , issues? well, it allows, in particular. _ issues? well, it allows, in particular, better - issues? well, it allows, in| particular, better informed issues? well, it allows, in - particular, better informed public debate so at the moment there is a tiny tip of a very big iceberg in terms of information that is out there because there are a small number ofjudgements that are number of judgements that are published number ofjudgements that are published and they will tend to be atypical cases, and that gives a really distorted perspective because things do go wrong and there are things do go wrong and there are things that could be improved but there is also a lots of really positive stuff and good practise, and i think it'sjust positive stuff and good practise, and i think it's just hugely important for people to be able to see that balanced picture, and for us to be able to have a sensible public debate in through social media, through newspapers, in parliament, and in all sorts of other forums, parliament, and in all sorts of otherforums, where people can parliament, and in all sorts of other forums, where people can say, actually, we don't like the way the system is working, we think it should work better, we don't agree with this particular piece of law or this type of approach to a really difficult issue that people have strong views about, you know, some of the actions that familyjudges are required to take in the decisions they are asked to make are controversial, you know, the question of having people's children removed and adopted is controversial, and it is really difficult to have a proper public debate about that if nobody, and i mean by that people inside the system and outside it, if nobody really understands how well and how consistently it is doing what it should do, if nobody really understands what the long—term outcomes are, so reporting is a part of that, but better data gathering and dissemination is also a part of that, and some of the reforms that surround —— sir andrew has set out in his document this week talk about that data side of things as well as publication of more judgements, that data side of things as well as publication of morejudgements, and relaxing the rules in order to enable both journalists, relaxing the rules in order to enable bothjournalists, and legal bloggers to report individual cases. 50 there is a whole raft of reforms so there is a whole raft of reforms which overall it is hoped will form a much better platform for public debate, policy reform, etc. find a much better platform for public debate, policy reform, etc. and so, what would — debate, policy reform, etc. and so, what would your _ debate, policy reform, etc. and so, what would your sense _ debate,

barrister and so i spend most of my days in family court, albeit at the moment quite often from this room rather than in a physical court building, there is lots of really good practise, there are lots of committed people but there are big problems as well, there are resource issues, there are obviously in my system run where things go wrong and badly wrong and that has significant impact on individualfamilies, and there may be more systematic issues and one of the things i think is important about this is that i think we familyjustice professionals, we family justice professionals, barrister, we familyjustice professionals, barrister, judge, social workers we exist in ale bit of a bubble and we don't get that feedback from people with different skill sets is and perspectives who i suspect will come in and will see how we do things the hands i will offer creative ideas, challenges, and critique that actually is, has real potential to be valuable in terms of a learning opportunity and helping us to test our own norms that perhaps for us working in the system we just, we don't even see some of the ways we work that might be done better, sol think opening it up the closed bubble we work in, is probably pretty healthy, for the system itself. thank you very much. lucy reed. lucy reed. an estimated 13 million women in the uk are living with the menopause — but the treatment to relieve its symptoms can amount to hundreds or even thousands of pounds. today, mps are due to vote on a bill that — if passed — would make hormone replacement therapy free in england. here's more from our political correspondent helen catt. because i'm post—menopausal, so i have got a pill — progesterone and oestrogen. so that goes on the top. i don't know what it is. it's got the most amazing glue, because it really does stick. adele martin went through the menopause just before she left a career in finance to run this pub in kent. from confidence to mood swings to brain fog, to where sometimes the people around me just weren't really sure what mood i was going to be in. i could be really, really tearful or really, really, really grumpy. and then, bizarrely, things like electric shocks, as well. but they were quite funny. electric shocks? yeah, my daughter didn't want to come near me, because she was scared, because every time i got out of the car, i seemed to create electric shocks. but overall, her experience was anything but funny. i felt like i just completely lost myself. and at the time, ijust didn't know what it was. sorry. it was menopause. and this is why i do what i do, because i just didn't want another woman...to look in the mirror and lose themselves like i did. i talk to women. it's taken me probably the last two years to really share my story. and the more i share my story, the more women share theirs. and it's just not fair. so it has sort of given me the courage to share my story. so if somebody else listens to what happened to me, then hopefully, they will ask for help, because i didn't know. she says hormone replacement therapy, hrt, stopped her hot flushes and helped her feel normal again. nine years later, she's still using it, paying £9.35 for each box. there does seem to be growing agreement in westminster that more needs to be done to help women navigate their way through the menopause — to help them find the right treatments for their symptoms. that could be through greater awareness, through more education for gps. but some want to see more help with the costs. the labour mp carolyn harris is trying to get mps to vote to make hrt free in england as it is in scotland, wales and northern ireland. we're talking about 51% of the population who are suffering this and need... they need the choices to make that decision if they want hrt. it's not for everyone, but it's also about everything else. it's notjust about the hrt. with millions of women in england eligible, the cost of making hrt free would be significant. and it's notjust menopausal women who have to pay for prescriptions. people with long—term health conditions have been campaigning for their medications to become free in england, too. for somebody like parkinson's, that means that you could have eight or nine medications each month. so it's really expensive to live with a long—term condition like that. you can, however, buy a prepayment certificate. so for three months it costs just over £30. for 12 months it costs just over £108. but some people have told us, particularly those with long—term conditions, that actually it's quite a lot of money still to to find. only a small proportion of menopausal women who could take hrt actually do. a flawed study in the early 20005 led to misleading publicity about the possible risks. it's still blamed for putting women off. in a statement, the government said it was deeply committed to ensuring women are able to access high—quality menopause treatment, including hormone replacement therapy. this is my design. adelle is herself off to parliament today, adding her voice to the calls for change. helen catt, bbc news, rochester. now it's time for a look at the weather. now it's time for a i , thank you. very good afternoon to you, what a wet few days it has been in place, there are still a number of flood warnings ins for across scotland and england. you can check those on the wetter website and rain is still falling, this is what we have seen over the last few hours, some particularly heavy rain drifting close to cumbria once again, into southern and eastern parts of scotland, through this afternoon, nunning its way north—eastwards, with this slice of clearer sunnier skies following on. temperatures this afternoon 12—16, breezy out there and showers returning from the west later, which overnight are likely to join into a longer spell of rain, so yes, more rain pushing eastwards, chilly ahead of that into saturday morning, but at least this rain is on the move, so all of us getting a dose of wet weather through tomorrow, some spells of sunshine, one or two showers into the afternoon and a cooler fresher feel, showers into the afternoon and a coolerfresherfeel, behind me see more rain waiting, that is sunday's weather, more wet weather sweeping northwards with strong winds as well. hello — this is bbc news with joanna gosling. the headlines... the french ambassador in london has been summoned to the foreign office in a dispute over post—brexit fishing rights. a british trawler was seized off normandy yesterday, the environment secretary says two can play at that game... we will see what they do on tuesday, but obviously we reserve the right to respond in a proportionate way. joe biden is at the vatican for an audience with the pope — where they're expected to discuss the coronavirus pandemic and climate change. it's as the pope has urged leaders attending the cop26 summit in glasgow to tackle the 'unprecedented threat�* of climate change and provide 'concrete hope' to future generations — in an exclusive message for the bbc. this crisis lays in front of us radical decisions, but each hurdle also represents an opportunity that cannot be wasted. one of the main rail links between england and scotland has been disrupted by flooding, after heavy rain hit southern scotland and north west england. england could become the first country in the world to license e—cigarettes as a medical product to help people quit smoking. if approved they could be prescribed on the nhs. nearly 1.3 million people in the uk would have tested positive for coronavirus in the week to last friday. the office for national statistics infection survey shows the highest levels of coronavirus infections ever reported across uk. the figures showed that around i in 55 people across the uk had the virus but the survey does not cover the past week where daily figures have appeared to be beginning to fall. our head of statistics robert cuffe is here. welcome. that is kind of mind blowing, that is is the highest number of cases and we have had the vaccine roll—out, so tell us what is going on with the statistics. back in january the — going on with the statistics. back in january the office _ going on with the statistics. back in january the office for - going on with the statistics. e—caz in january the office for national statistics estimated thatjust over one and a quarter million people would test positive for the virus and the most recent period, as you just said, got you to about 1.28, just said, got you to about 1.28, just pipping that december level. i think the big caveat is that we're currently seeing the number of people going into hospital is probably around a course of the levels it was back then. people still get infected but the number of people who get sick there is much, much smaller. now, we have had a white vaccine roll—out with 80% of people, over 12 is our double—jabbed, but that is still 20% of land are never about 5 million adults who haven't been vaccinated yet see do still see plenty of unvaccinated people going into hospital and plenty of people who have been vaccinated do catch the virus and you get sick with it as well because it is not something that as soon as you get vaccinated you will never, ever catch coronavirus and you're protected forever and ever. some infections do get through and your protection does wane over time so we will continue to see more people getting infected. is there any breakdown in the statistics in terms of the ages of people getting the virus? it is people getting the virus? it is driven really _ people getting the virus? it is driven really at _ people getting the virus? it is driven really at the _ people getting the virus? it s driven really at the moment by younger school age groups. 9%, so winning 11 kids in early secondary school would test positive at the moment. in the school children, about half that, 4%,

anything else is around i% of all those age groups where we have had a big vaccine roll—out you sing much, much lower rates of infection is the moment but in schools we are seeing the rates go very,

at half term in schools will have an effect on the number of people who come forward and when kids go back into school if they are all asked to test asymptomatically we might see another rise as well so that's why this survey are so helpful, because it doesn't get messed around by people deciding i want to go on holidays, i do want to get tested, or people coming back into school and getting tested, it just gives us a clear picture that is not best done by behaviour of what is going on and it tells us infections are running out notjust pretty high levels but record high levels. . ~' , ., pretty high levels but record high levels. . ,, , ., ., , pope francis has made a very pointed intervention in the run up to next weeks climate summit in glasgow, urging world leaders to take radical decisions to give concrete hope to future generations. in a message specially recorded for the bbc, the pope said climate change and the covid pandemic left people feeling increasingly powerless, frail and fearful. the message comes as us presidentjoe biden arrived at the vatican about an hour ago for an audience with pope francis. they are expected to discuss global issues ahead of the g20 summit in rome this weekend and next weeks cop 26 climate meeting in glasgow. our correspondent mark lowen is at the vatican it isa it is a beautiful day here at the vatican as the talks betweenjoe biden, america's second catholic president, the first sincejohn f kennedy, is still inside the vatican talking to pope francis about issues that they see very much eye to eye on, issues like climate change, help for migrants and the poor, the way out of the covid—i9 pandemic. remember, these are two men very much the same generation who are on the more liberal side of the communities that they preside over, the united states and the catholic church, of course, and very much at the centre of their discussions is the centre of their discussions is theissue the centre of their discussions is the issue of climate change. pope francis has placed environmentalism at the centre of his papacy and has spoken out frequently in the last few years of his papacy and again today to the bbc head of the all—important un climate conference in glasgow that gets under way on sunday and into next week. he raised some of the crises the world is facing but he urged the world not to retreat into isolationism but to use this is what he called an opportunity for change. now, he will not be present in glasgow himself. joe biden of course will be and he hopes that the american president might carry his message to the other world leaders and by meeting key world leaders and by meeting key world leaders and by meeting key world leaders before the glasgow summer and by getting his message out on air that he might spur an agreement between the politicians meeting in glasgow. the goal was among the rich countries that they would provide $100 billion per year to poorer countries to help them transition to cleaner energy and to decarbonise but they haven't reached that goal yet. they are still far short of it and i think that will certainly play and i think that will certainly play a part in the discussions between pope francis and the american president today because pope francis is a man who has placed social justice, concern for the poor, very much at the heart of his papacy as he has environmentalism too. well, as world leaders head to glasgow ahead of this weekend's climate change summit cop26, our scotland correspondent, lorna gordon, has been taking a look at the final preparations. there's no confusion about where this huge conference is taking place, and an army of volunteers are welcoming cop26 visitors to the city. we're welcoming delegates with a warm glasgow smile. it is a bit gloomy and cloudy but all the volunteers have, like, a sunny 22 degrees inside of them. 25,000 delegates are expected. businesses in the area where the summit will take place are hoping for a bounce. we offer very nice little coffees and everything, so even if they wanted to come for a wee coffee or some pancakes or something, that would be amazing. but they're facing challenges, too. so far it's been a nightmare, just the start of it. like, trying to travel to work — it's absolutely horrendous. and there is already disruption with slip roads, pedestrian walkways and bridges closed around the site. this is one of the main arterial roads heading into the centre of glasgow, and it's been shut to the thousands of drivers who use it every day. accommodation is also proving a problem — the cost of renting flats or rooms has rocketed because of cop. welcome to glasgow! 50 around 1,000 people, including jack and kim, have opened their homes to delegates, and more are needed. i'd heard that poorer countries were getting priced out of coming — i was absolutely horrified that only the richer countries' voices would be heard in terms of politicians and lobby groups, so i felt it was really important that everybody was included. when glasgow people opened their door to us, we are very delighted to come also, voice our concern. some schools on the conference doorstep will have to close briefly. these pupils may never have expected world leaders to be driving past their classroom windows — and they've got a message they want to pass on. i kind of feel...like, kind of stressed and annoyed about it because it's just disrupting our lives. i would just rather that so many people wouldn't come — only the world leaders. they're not going to get here, like, being eco—friendly. - and also i feel like they're just going to talk about things - but not actually do it. ..have an impact on your lives... hope from the children here for action — and notjust words — and that the disruption they could face over the next two weeks will be worth it. lorna gordon, bbc news, glasgow. a group of women in the us have become social media stars after

fun in that they had found friendship to a cheating boyfriend but they must have been heartbreak along the way. what are your thoughts on this? actually, i don't know if you have seen the film the other woman with cumin deals but it is almost an exact replica of that, which was fiction. —— cameron diaz. absolutely in the first thing i would flag up as we are calling them women but they are teenagers but that throws up a bit of a question of we have to take this in context because eight is very relevant here. i think in the one hand it is fantastic that, you know, we have evolved as women and we can kind of find solace in each other and go on an adventure. i think it is brilliant and is very entertaining but, yes, as a coach in this areal wonder, kind of, what is going on under the service and there must be hurt and bitterness and disappointment there and i kind of wonder what they're doing with that. yes, i mean come on that .1 of them said in an article that i read that she actually thought that they were going to get married. they were talking about their future together and she really had to grieve that, actually, so we are not saying that emotional part when we

the society we now live in? that everything is trivialised and turned into entertainment but actually what is really going on under the surface is really going on under the surface is not being dealt with and i suppose that is where my role comes in as a coach in terms of helping women to perhaps dig up and look at some of those uncomfortable things and let them go so that they can move on and find love again so that it doesn't impact the moving forward. �* . it doesn't impact the moving forward. �* , y., ., it doesn't impact the moving forward. �* , ., . forward. because when you get into a relationship obviously _ forward. because when you get into a relationship obviously you're - forward. because when you get into a relationship obviously you're making l relationship obviously you're making yourself very vulnerable and you have to trust the situation. how common is this sort of thing and how much do people tend to have fears abound exactly the sort of thing? well, it is very common in the clients that i work with. typically they are age, sort of, 35 plus because i think, you know, when we allow young, particularly as teenagers, i mean, to some extent what is gone on here is quite normal. i think, what is gone on here is quite normal. ithink, again, the fact that they found out on social media, i mean, we are living in a strange time where everybody was my personal lives are fairly easy to pry into. i think we are talking about a bunch of teenagers, ultimately, when at that phase in life you are probably exploring, commitment isn't necessarily at the forefront of your privacy is, and sol necessarily at the forefront of your privacy is, and so i think this is probably quite a normal situation in terms of a guy who is dating several women or teenage girls was everyone's a golden. the fact that they were found out is another issue, really, and so, you know, thatis issue, really, and so, you know, that is what is interesting about it, ithink, isn't that is what is interesting about it, i think, isn't it? that is what is interesting about it, ithink, isn't it? it looks it, i think, isn't it? it looks as if the statistics of this sort of thing happening a higher but actually the statistic that is increased as the fact that we can find out, it is not necessarily that there is an increase on it happening. 50 there is an increase on it

with me and we do a lot of planning, actually. we help them to create boundaries and a very clear vision for what they want. i think learning to say no, learning to speak up, learning about ourselves and what we like and don't like and learning to communicate that is just really, really helpful so that you can go out and know what you are looking for and what you are not looking for and what you are not looking for. usually, there are red flags with this type of situation. i imagine if all of these teenage women sat down and ask themselves, honestly, where there any red flags, most likely they were. often we tend to gloss over because we want what we want and we want romance and sometimes we delude ourselves a little bit and so i think it is just trying to stain reality and just make

conference which starts this weekend in glasgow, former actor and politician, arnold schwarzenegger, has been telling the bbc�*s tom heap why it's not too late to change the way we live. i think anything can be done. if you see it and believe it, then you can achieve it. it's that simple. the terminator might seem an unlikely environmental champion. his most iconic movie role was dedicated to eliminating humanity. i'll be back. and i will not let you down. his return to the public arena as a politician, serving as republican governor of california for eight years, was marked by tough environmental laws on exhaust fumes, growing wind and solar energy, and ambitious carbon reduction targets. he now runs the schwarzenegger climate initiative. we are the only place that really reduced greenhouse gases by 25% and brought it back to the 1990 level. what we are so happy about is that we are proving simultaneously that it is the best job creator when you go green. we are number one economically in the united states, with a gdp of $3.3 trillion. that, at the same time, makes us the fifth—largest economy in the world, at the same time while we have the strictest environmental laws. so it shows to you you can protect the environment and you can protect the economy at the same time. so all of those countries that come and give speeches — we are not going to go and lose jobs because of going green — they are liars. or they are just stupid and they don't know how to do it. because we figured it out, how to do it, they can figure it out, how to do it. and it's all about having the balls to do it. he often swaps horsepower for leg power on the streets of santa monica, and wants to change the way we shop. buy local products. i mean, it is absurd, this kind of tonnage of stuff we are shipping back and forth and creating this unbelievable pollution. but wouldn't people say that is just global capitalism and, as a republican, that is something...? you can have global capitalism, but you have to be smart about it. you can go and compete and all that stuff on a global level, but let's go and reduce pollution. because you can have the best capitalism, and global capitalism in the world, but if people are dead, they are dead. it's over. arnold still trains at the gym most days and he's happy to share his skills. exhale. no, i didn't say let go. but the question troubling many is how much heavy lifting world leaders will do at the upcoming climate summit in glasgow. i think we have conquered problems in the past. we have terminated problems in the past, i think that we can do it again. we all have to work together — that is the bottom line. and to take politics out and just say, "we've got to save the world." and we all have to work together. arnold schwarzenegger talking to tom heap for 39 ways to save the planet which is available on bbc sounds. archaeologists digging on the route of the hs2 high—speed rail link have uncovered what they've described as an "astounding" set of roman statues. it includes two complete sculptures of what appear to be a man and a woman, plus the head of a child. the discovery was made at an abandoned medieval church in stoke mandeville in buckinghamshire. it is believed that the location was used as a roman mausoleum before the norman church was built. dr rachel wood described the moment her team made the discovery. pretty much a giant grin. everybody was really, really astounded to find them. they're just so unusual and so well preserved as well. so we're excavating the ruins of a mediaeval church. it was built in about 1080. and as we removed the remains of those buildings, we've got underneath it and found, much to our surprise, another building that predates it and that had been demolished into an enclosure ditch encircling it. and as we were, sort of, excavating that rubble from the ditch, we were pulling out pieces of, you know, carved stone and things like that, and we turned it over and were suddenly looking at the face of this lady. they appear to be of, you know, local romans, but they would have been quite wealthy to have had these statues made and you can see on the lady's hairdo how, kind of, fancy a set of braids that she's got. in a moment, the bbc news at one with ben brown but now it's time for a look at the weather with ben rich. good afternoon. there are still numerous flood warnings and false after the rain has fallen in many parts of the uk over the last few days. this was the scene for weather watcher and can on and this is the early on and this is the earlier radar picture. you can see yet more rain that has been working its way across many parts of the country with some particularly heavy rain moving once again across the far north—west of england into southern and eastern portions of scotland as and eastern portions of scotland as a ghost in the afternoon, some showers drifting across eastern england. then there is a slice of drier and brighter weather before some showers return in the day. top temperatures 13—16 and then as we head through this evening and tonight that slice of clear skies doesn't last all that long. this band of showers tending to gang together into a longer spell of rain as it works eastwards into the early hours of saturday. it will stay quite breezy in places overnight, fairly chilly across northern and eastern areas, milderfor fairly chilly across northern and eastern areas, milder for the south and west and then into saturday low—pressure to the north—west of us, frontal system pushing eastwards taking some updates of rain that it but at least the font is moving through so while it still be a soggy start the service at the time. also some showers pushing on across western areas but not a bad end to saturday in most places and it will feel a little cooler and fresher, 11-15 . feel a little cooler and fresher, 11—15. through saturday evening under these clear skies it will turn quite chilly for a time but then there is another weather system that will start to push on from the west and don't forget to the early hours of sunday morning the clocks go back one hour but as we head into sunday here comes our next weather system, an area of low pressure winding itself up, pushing across the uk and this will bring a swathe of wet weather northwards and eastwards as weather northwards and eastwards as we go to sunday. still uncertainty aboutjust how we go to sunday. still uncertainty about just how far we go to sunday. still uncertainty aboutjust how far north they will get but it looks like it will spread across all of scotland, blustery showers and the potential for gales following on into some western coasts with some sunny spells to and certainly a cooler feel, coasts with some sunny spells to and certainly a coolerfeel, too, 10—14 and there is some sunny spells to and there is some sunny spells to and certainly a coolerfeel, two, 10-14 in and certainly a coolerfeel, two, 10—14 in medicine cooler or even quite chilly weather to come to the start of a new week. some showers are first and it will then turn trying for a time through the middle part of the week. the government warns it could retaliate if france carries out the threats it's made in the row over post brexit fishing rights. the french have warned they'll start blocking british boats from next tuesday — the british government says "two can play at that game". we will see what they do on tuesday. but, obviously, we reserve the right to respond in a proportionate way. the french ambassador to london has been summoned to the foreign office today after france siezed a british trawler. also this lunchtime... the pope calls for radical decisions from world leaders gathering this weekend in glasgow for the cop26 climate change summit. meanwhile, the teenage climate activist greta thunberg says she hasn't been formally invited to the cop summit. of course, this is notjust a question about me.
