for one overriding task, to convince other 620 countries to do more to reduce global warming. that will mean not shaking hands, but twisting arms, arms belonging to these world leaders whose economies

trust and lack of confidence between both sides, particularly on the french side, has the risk of it becoming ingrained and surviving beyond the usual political turbulence. that is what is concerning

as a teenager. prince andrew has always denied the claims and has now asked a judge to dismiss a civil lawsuit against him. frances read reports. pictured together two decades ago, virginia 6uiffre claims prince andrew sexually abused her when she was just 17, a minor under us state law. they are allegations prince andrew strenuously denies and he has never been criminally charged. now his lawyers say a civil lawsuit against him should be dismissed. in a document filed to a court in new york they say that accusing a member of the royalfamily has helped 6uiffre create a media frenzy. it has accused her of trying to achieve another payday at prince andrew's expense, with the lawyers adding that sensationalism and innuendo have prevailed over truth. the legal team says the duke's sullied reputation is only the latest collateral damage of the jeffrey epstein scandal. prince andrew's lawyers say miss 6uiffre settled her civil damages claims against epstein in 2009 and as part of the agreement she agreed not to sue anyone else connected to him. the millionaire killed himself in jail in 2019 as he was held on charges for the sex trafficking of minors. francis read, bbc news. commuterjourneys are down by more than half compared to pre—pandemic levels as many people continue to work from home. the railway delivery 6roup warns that lower passenger numbers are damaging city centre businesses. at the other end of the scale, leisure trips are nearly back to 2019 levels. 0ur transport correspondent caroline davies has more. this was what mornings used to look like, but the commute is not back to normal. commuterjourneys are less than half the number they were before the pandemic. more of us are taking the train since the end of the summer holidays, particularly for leisure, which is back up to 90% of its pre—pandemic levels. but across the country, people are commuting less. 0utside london, commuterjourneys are only 54% of what they were and in london it's 41%. while that's good news for holiday spots like seaside getaways and rural retreats, the worry is that fewer people coming in to city centres will damage businesses. fewer commuters will absolutely have a big impact on shops and other businesses in town and city centres. our research shows that £33 billion a year is spent by commuters when they travel. for us as an industry we're building backup services, we've introduced flexible season tickets, but we want to go further, we want to introduce tap in and tap out, automatic price caps all over the country for commuters — what you've got in london, because we think that will help get today's flexible commuters back on board. we want to work with the government to introduce that as quickly as possible. the government has spent billions keeping the trains running during the pandemic. it's also keen to get passengers back. the way we work has changed dramatically for many. how long could it take to persuade us back on board? caroline davies, bbc news. it s a historic day for football on the isle of man today. for the first time a team from the island will welcome opponents from the uk mainland for an english non—league fixture. fc isle of man started out as a club at the very bottom of the football pyramid this summer and today they re hoping 3,000 supporters will watch them at their home ground of the bowl in douglas, where they play the staffordshire side brocton. joe lynskey reports. before this season it hadn't happened before, a team from the isle of man's rolling hills in england's football pyramid. but this is fc isle of man, who started injuly in the 10th tier of the game. but so far they've played all their matches away from home. that's meant a flight into manchester or a ferry to liverpool with 6am starts on 12—hour round trips. on wednesday, they faced cheadle town. you pass it, then you move. but knowing soon things would change. this is fc isle of man's 14th away game in a row, but now double jabbed passengers can travel to the island and vaccine take—up in the league has increased. so on saturday, finally they play their first match at home. i think it's brilliant, they've had to go through a lot of hoops and a lot of paperwork to get us this far and i feel very, very fortunate and privileged to be the first manager. there will be a few nerves. yeah, i naturally get nervous anyway every game but we will be in front of a crowd like that we're not used to playing in front of, so amazing for it to have happened. the club will fund the travel costs of all their opponents. but even at this level, they say their model can work. a large part of our revenue has to be the fans. so we've priced the situation where some think it's a bit expensive. we have to make it sustainable for years to come so we are working with the community and the people around us. we think in the next ten to 15 years, we should be in league 2. people may laugh at that, but by having that inspirations, we think big and we can achieve big. from the bottom division, they want to rise up the leagues. now from their home on the island, they start the journey. joe lynskey, bbc news. all those stories and

more details on bbc sport website. as world leaders arrive in rome for the 620 summit, uk prime minister borisjohnson has admitted that there is turbulence in the relationship with france over post—brexit fishing rights. ahead of meeting emmanuel macron, mrjohnson said he was worried that france was already in breach of the brexit trade deal that was struck, with the french prime minister appealing to the eu in a letter, seen by the bbc, to show that it was more damaging to be outside than inside the eu. but, on the eve of the landmark climate cop26 summit in glasgow, the british prime minister also said that the fishing issue was dwarfed by the urgent need to tackle climate change. borisjohnson has been speaking to our political editor, laura kuenssberg. do you think france is trying to punish the uk overfishing permits? things that unite france and the uk are far more important than those that divide us. we will work closely to get to the bottom of the issues. i must say we are a bit worried that france may be about to become in breach or is already in breach of the trade and co—operation agreement that we struck, but all of those issues are dwarfed by the agenda that emmanuel macron and i and angela merkel and mario draghi and all the leaders, joe biden, that we face today. i will come onto that in a second, but what are you going to do about this? you say it is not as important, fair enough, but what are you going to do when president macron is questioning your credibility and you have summoned the french ambassador into the foreign office in london, what are you going to do about it? we are going to get on and do the things that matter both of us, and make sure that we work together on tackling the big issues that face the world. there's some turbulence in the relationship. i have seen the letter that you mention. if one of our partners decides to breach the trade and co—operation agreement that we struck, then obviously that is a matter that we will have to pursue. but what i want to do is to get the world to focus on the threat humanity faces. and here we are, in the coliseum of vespasian, completed by titus, i think, and what more perfect metaphor could there be for the risk to humanity of civilisation basically going backwards... specifically before we move on, are you clear that the french behaviour at the moment is unacceptable? i am clear that the priority for us, for the french, i think for all of our viewers, actually, is tackling the biggest threat to humanity, and that is climate change. so the point i want to make, with the help of this brilliant visual, this backdrop, is people are often very conceited about history and about our civilisation. we think that we can be on a remorseless forward march, when actually we can be actively conniving in our own decline and fall. what we need to do is to ensure that at the cop summit next week, that world leaders come together and make the commitments necessary, not to halt climate change or global warming, because we can't do that, it's too late, but what we can do is restrict the growth in temperatures. in terms of countries you're trying to pull together, china are vital to this, are you disappointed with what they have come forward with so far? the point i made to our chinese friends is, look, they have made progress on overseas financing of coal, that is a good thing. what i think china needs to do is to find ways of making a more ambitious national... they are not going to do that, what they have said is not enough, is it? let's see what we can get to. i think what the whole world needs to understand is you can reduce dependence on coal very fast. i reminded president xi that the first time i went to beijing, as the mayor of london, the uk was 40% reliant on coal to generate power. today it is only 1%. so you can make progress very fast. but you could make progress at home, and you like to say the uk is ahead of everyone else, but right here, right now, you could say you would not allow there to be another coal mine in cumbria, which is on the table at the moment, or another oilfield off scotland. rule them out now if you want people to follow an example. people can see what britain has done. 80% of our power came from hydrocarbons. by 2035, to answer your question, we will not have any hydrocarbons in our power generation system at all. but on those specifics... and by 2030, well, we are the most ambitious country in europe, and by 2030, we are saying we will not have hydrocarbon internal combustion engines in new cars. that is a very ambitious target. we have just about the punchiest nationally determined contribution of any country. we are saying we will cut our co2 emissions by 68% on 1990 levels. we have already done 44%, that is a massive achievement. and we are doing that through technology. but through technology that allows us to deliver hundreds of thousands of high wage, high skilljobs. that is the plan. in september, you rated the chances of success in glasgow at six out of ten, what would you say now? i would say about the same now. everybody needs to focus... what the uk has been trying to do is to take the abstract concepts of net zero that we talked about at paris six years ago and to turn them into hard, sharp deliverables in terms of reducing coal use, reducing the use of internal combustion engines, planting millions of trees, and getting the cash that the world needs to finance green technology. that's what we are trying to do. let's stay with the row over post—brexit fishing between the uk and france. the french have brought back from tuesday there will be extra inspections ports for fishing tuesday there will be extra inspections ports forfishing boats and trucks entering or coming out of the uk. earlier, i spoke to the president and chairman of the ports of calais and boulognejean—marc puissesseau and started by asking him, from tuesday, will english boats not be allowed to land their catch at the port? the problem is that some french fishermen are waiting for licences. about 40 fishermen waiting. 20 small boats. those small boats are not equipped with monitoring surveys in 2016 like that, which is a reference, and they cannot prove that they were fishing in your water. that is one point. this is very... very naughty to say that! and then we have 20 other boats which are above 18 metres. and for them, they need historical declarations in 2016, 2017 also. but the majority of them sold their boats in 2020, 2019, so they don't have this any more, they are new boats, so they don't have reference with the new boats. and they don't get a licence. so it is small things. it is so small economical problems in an ocean of things after brexit. this small problem will bring total chaos in the next stage. so i do hope in the weekend there is some resolution and agreement. between our governments. because from my point of view, i know the french government were asking to you to get these 40 licences for the french fishermen, and they don't get it. and then they have nothing from your boats, and may to do more with the blocking, 0k, controlling and so on. i do hope there will be an agreement for you and for us. {line i do hope there will be an agreement for you and for us.— for you and for us. one thing on what ou for you and for us. one thing on what you have _ for you and for us. one thing on what you have said, _ for you and for us. one thing on what you have said, and - for you and for us. one thing on what you have said, and then i l for you and for us. one thing on - what you have said, and then i want to ask what it means for your ports. you talked about them not having the data. i spoke to the president of thejersey fishermen data. i spoke to the president of the jersey fishermen last data. i spoke to the president of thejersey fishermen last night and he said under the existing rules of eu membership, for years, boats have had to record stocks. they will have logbooks. not having the technology and changing your ship doesn't prevent you having given data already in previous years. so someone, somewhere in the eu has that information, theyjust need to provide it to the relevant authorities to issue the licences. i... i can only tell you what i know, and i listen to you, i don't know, and i listen to you, i don't know, i think people have to sit around a table to discuss correctly, because these silly things have huge consequences. if next week we are asked, as we have been asked today, to control and do more controls on each lorry leaving france and coming from the uk in calais, and when i say calais, it is not only to the port, it's the other communications and so on, it will be chaos in your country and our country. i and so on, it will be chaos in your country and our country.- country and our country. i should sa , in country and our country. i should say. in our _ country

scene behind you, it looks like we might behind you, it looks like we might be grateful of the extra hour in bed to pull up the duvet and stay warm. absolutely, sunday morning looking pretty atrocious. very windy tomorrow with gales across southern and western areas, but an improving story today. we had low pressure sweeping through with a band of rain, and it has left plenty of sunshine, so quite a nice afternoon because of the bump moving in behind the weather front which brought rain earlier on. mostly clearing eastern scotland and north—east england now. you can see the extent of the sunshine, quite breezy across southern and western areas, not as windy as tomorrow, though. some showers across western areas, many parts should stay dry. temperatures lower than in recent days, 12—14. tonight, largely clear except a queue showers, quite a chilly night. a good chance to watch the northern lights across northern areas because of the clear skies. but then a new area of low pressure bringing gales and heavy rain which will sweep northwards and eastwards during sunday morning, and then sunshine and showers. and yes, an extra hour in bed, the clocks go back an hour tonight. together hello, this is bbc news with me shaun ley. the headlines. world leaders are in rome for the 620 summit, where climate change and covid—19 are expected to dominate talks. the italian

and france threatens to sour dicussions. borisjohnson insists he doesn't want that to distract from the 620 or the key climate change summit in glasgow. lawyers for prince andrew claim the woman who's
