we are going to get on and do things that matter to both of us, and make sure we work together on tackling the big issues that face the world. there's some turbulence in the relationship. i'm mark lowen, live in rome. first talks of the 620 summit have focused on the pandemic and the global economic recovery. good afternoon. the italian prime minister, mario draghi, has opened the 620 summit in rome with a call for multilateral action to solve the problems the world is facing. a warm welcome to sunny autumnal rome where the leaders of the world largest economies, the 620, have begun their two day summit, a crucial meeting in which countries representing 80% of the global greenhouse emissions are represented. countries representing 80% of the world 6dp, gross domestic product. 75% of global trade. 60% of the world's population. that is what 620 means, 19 countries and the eu, meeting in rome to discuss some of the biggest challenges the world faces, climate change, the covid—19 pandemic and the continued recovery post—pandemic of the global economy. they are also discussing issues such as the need to increase vaccines for poorer countries, to relieve some of the strangleholds in vaccine procurement and delivery. and also those desperately important climate goals that will be discussed later in the glasgow un climate conference, cop26, which begins next week. the 620 leaders will travel from here to glasgow on monday to continue discussions to try to limit global warning to 1.5 degrees above preindustrial levels, to achieve net zero carbon emissions by the middle of the century. and to increase the amount of money rich countries are giving to poorer countries to try to combat climate change. but this is also an opportunity for countries to engage in the favourite diplomatic art of multilateralism, which donald trump seemed to turn his back on when he pulled the us out of the paris climate accord. he shunned traditional us allies. joe biden has come in to show america is back, rubbing shoulders and reinstating the alliances that he feels donald trump turned his back on. and that idea of embracing multilateralism was very much echoed by the host

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. on tackling the big issues 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. laura kuenssberg talking to boris johnson _ laura kuenssberg talking to boris johnson inside the coliseum. very nice too — johnson inside the coliseum. very nice too. the

out of these summits, the way it works. let's stay with the dispute between france and the uk over post—brexit fishing rights. president macron claimed the row was a test of britain's credibility on the international stage. mrjohnson says he's puzzled by france's attitude. jean—marc puissesseau is the president and chairman of the ports of calais and boulogne. the problem is that some french fishermen are waiting for licences. about a0 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 a0 licences for the french fishermen, and they don't get it. the prime minister says he's spoken to the queen this week and that she's "on very good form". yesterday, buckingham palace announced the 95—year old would not undertake official visits for a fortnight. speaking in rome, mrjohnson said the "important thing" was she had to "follow the advice of her doctors and get some rest". i spoke to her majesty, as i do every week, this week and she's on very good form. she's just got to follow the advice of her doctors and get some rest, and i think that's the important thing. i'm sure the whole country wishes her well. the headlines on bbc news. world leaders are in rome for the 620 summit, where climate change and covid—19 are expected to dominate talks. the italian prime minister, mario draghi, opens the summit with a call for multilateral action as the only way to solve the problems the world is facing. but a row over post—brexit fishing rights between britain 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 have accused a woman of trying to "achieve another payday" at the duke's expense. virginia 6uiffre says she was sexually abused by him 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 billionaire 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, commuter journeys are only 54% of what they were and in london it is 41%. while that is good news for holiday spots like seaside getaways and rural retreats, the worry is that fewer people coming into city centres will damage businesses. fewer commuters will absolutely have a big impact on shops and other businesses in big 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 are building backup services but we want to go further, we want to introduce tap in and tap out, automatic price capped all over the country for commuters. what you already have 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 is 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? the environment agency has launched an investigation after hundreds of dead crabs, lobsters and other sea life washed up on the beaches of teesside in recent weeks. fishermen in the area say they've stopped fishing close to the shore, because there's very little to catch. leejohnson reports. scenes like this have become depressingly familiar along this stretch of coastline in recent weeks. here in marske, dozens of different species of crab and other shellfish have been washed up on the shore, and at the moment no—one knows why. what i would suggest is most plausible is perhaps an algal or bacterial toxin, so if you get a large bloom of algae and material they can release toxins and they can cause quite a few issues to a whole range of species. that could be one potential. the other potential could be disease, but it's unlikely it would be thatjust because of the huge range of species present. then i suppose the other possibility is a pollution event, whether that be waste or the release of some of the chemicals is yet to be determined. pictures on social media also show a porpoise washed up at another beach on the same coastline. and it's a trend that is worrying experts. especially because this has now happened on a couple of occasions, it becomes more and more concerning, it means something wasn'tjust happening a single time, it's likely to have happened multiple times. if that's the case, maybe it's something we can fix if we can get to the bottom of exactly what it is that's happened. how long that will take isn't clear, but those who help take care of our coastline fear the scenes could be a symptom of a much bigger problem. it could be something to do with climate change, and the wildlife trust are concerned about the two catastrophes at the moment, climate change and biodiversity loss, and if that carries on, obviously, we'll be in trouble. it appears most of the sea life washed up on the beach has been cleared up. in the meantime, the environment agency says it is investigating, it has taken samples of crabs, water and sand to see if pollution was the cause of these wash—ups. microsoft has overtaken apple as the world's most valuable public company. shares in the tech giant closed at a record high in new york, valuing it at $2.49 trillion, $10 billion more than apple. the iphone maker's shares have continued a recent slide, in part because of silicon chip shortages. its a historic day for football on the isle of man. 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. we will go live to rome, we were talking about the 620 summit, and we have a need to live pictures of things getting under way, just a couple of seconds ago. we saw british prime minister borisjohnson chatting to various world leaders. this of course a significant event for the world, the first and biggest face—to—face meeting since the pandemic, facing an extraordinary long list of global challenges. mario draghi there has appealed for a multilateral approach. rejecting unilateralism, countries going alone, and an appeal to work together to solve various issues. we know there is agreement on a global corporate tax rate. slightly tougher challenges ahead, trying to find agreement on climate change ahead of the cop26 summit in glasgow. we will keep you across the events in rome. spot the robot dog has become something of a celebrity in recent years. developed by a team in boston, it mimics natural movements and has been used in a variety of different roles. now, spot seems to be launching something of a musical career — joining up with rock royalty. the bbc�*s tim allman explains. start me up by the rolling stones plays. for anyone wondering, mickjagger is the one on the left. although in some ways, it is quite hard to tell. # if you start me up. # if you start me up i'll never stop... to celebrate the 40th anniversary of their album tattoo you, the rolling stones got together with the engineers at boston dynamics to create this unusual video of their song start me up. it's notjust mick — there's a robot keith, robot charlie and robot ronnie as well. every move, every guitar lick and every drumbeat synchronised to match the original. # you make a grown man cry! why, you might ask? well, why not? # do you like it like this? this is by no means the first time spot has dabbled in some classic rock �*n' roll. # do you love me? along with fellow robot atlas, the a—legged automaton has become quite the mover. no easy task for the programmers, but you can't always get what you want. it can be frustrating sometimes. the robots crash a lot. it's kind of a choreographed routine, you know, it's an athlete that's practised these moves dozens or hundreds of times even to get that high level, that exciting, you know, capability. perhaps this will be the beginning of a beautiful career, spot making cameos in countless music videos. a robot that brings true satisfaction. tim allman, bbc news. and before i go, it's halloween this weekend, and at a zoo in belgium, it's the animals who are getting the pumpkins. lions, buffalos, rhinos, you name it, they're getting in the halloween spirit. this zoo in antwerp is the oldest animal park in belgium, and with 5,000 animals, that's a lot of pumpkins. now it's time for a look at the weather with stav. plenty of sunshine, a few showers. tomorrow, new low pressure rain and gale, gathering force in the atlantic, hurtling towards our shores later tonight. ahead of it, a ridge of high pressure which brought us the final afternoon. showers will fade away this evening, it will turn chilly and clear overnight. a new area of low pressure pushing into the south and west, it will turn wetter, temperatures coming up. further north and east, chile and with temperatures in low single digits. tonight the clocks go back an hour, an extra hour in bed. a good job because it will be an atrocious morning across many areas. a band of heavy spreading north and east, becoming confined to northern scotland in the afternoon. very windy with gales around southern and western areas, some blustery showers and it will feel quite cool.
