the longer we fail to act, the worse it gets and the higher the price when we are eventually forced by catastrophe to act. if you're here today, you know what climate change is doing to us. you don't need my pain, or my tears, to know that we're in a crisis. enough of burning and drilling and mining our way deeper. . we're digging our own graves. outside, protesters demanded much more radical action, accusing the summit leaders of being full of hot air. also tonight... the driver of one of two trains involved in a collision near salisbury suffers "life—changing" injuries. several others were also hurt. the chief executive of barclays, resigns, after an inquiry into links with the sex offender, jeffrey epstein. commentator: helps it away... and jos buttler�*s big hitting makes it four

have all the analysis from molineux. good evening from glasgow, where world leaders have been dining with the prince of wales and senior members of the royal family, at the end of the opening day of the climate summit. the queen, whose doctors advised her not to attend, greeted the delegates with a recorded message, urging them to "rise above politics, to achieve true statesmanship," and reminding them that benefits of action will be for future generations, not for everyone alive today. when the summit opened at noon, delegates heard a series of powerful appeals for rapid progress. borisjohnson said humanity had "long since run down the clock on climate change — it was now one minute to midnight." the prime minister of barbados, mia mottley, warned that following a "path of greed and selfishness" would lead to destruction. and the un chief, antonio guterres, said countries were digging their own graves by failing to act on climate change. among the goals being discussed here are ending the use of coal, phasing out petrol—powered cars and reversing the process of deforestation. our first report on events in glasgow is by our political editor laura kuenssberg. a red london bus. electric, of course. with the sound of scottish pipes. the royals on the steps. the prime minister, the host. a full on uk display. the leaders of the world, the guests here to be addressed by the 95—year—old monarch, even if not in person. she's seen plenty of their type before. it has sometimes been observed that what leaders do for their people today is government and politics, but what they do for the people of tomorrow, that is statesmanship. i, for one, hope that this conference will be one of those rare occasions where everyone will have a chance to rise above the politics of the moment and achieve true statesmanship. it is the hope of many, the legacy of this summit, written in history books yet to be printed, will describe you as the leaders who did not pass up the opportunity. we, none of us, will live forever. but we are doing this not for ourselves but for our children and our children's children, and those who will follow in their footsteps. but there's the glittering reception in a glasgow landmark, then the other conference. thousands have made the trip from their own countries. their hope that this morning's queues and their shivering arrival will be worth it. the first serious moment at this vital conference, borisjohnson�*s big moment on the world stage. humanity has long since run down the clock on climate change, it is one minute to midnight on that doomsday clock and we need to act now. the leaders of some of the biggest polluters, china, russia and turkey, haven't shown, keeping much more than a social distance. the anger and the impatience of the world will be uncontainable unless we make this cop26 in glasgow the moment when we get real about climate change. they will not forgive us. they will know that glasgow was the historic turning point when history failed to turn. the platform also for those people whose way of life is at grave risk right now... the earth is speaking. she tells us that we have no more time. the platform also for those people whose way of life is at grave risk right now... the earth is speaking. she tells us that we have no more time. the uk is the host to a rainbow of nearly 200 countries and wants them all to promise to cut their own carbon emissions and the wealthier to cough up more towards the $100 billion pot to help poorer countries go green. there is a real sense of purpose here, but it will be a long fortnight as president biden and the other and not all of them are as enthusiastic as the west with wealthier populations. whether brazil... ..with some new promises today... ..or a slower approach from the indian prime minister, who says his mega—economy will balance carbon emissions with absorbing greenhouse gases by 2070. 2070... 20 years later than borisjohnson wants. but the mood in glasgow is perhaps darkening towards those who are dragging their feet. in two generations�* time they will be remembered for this fortnight. they could have been brilliant in everything else they have done and they will be cursed if they don't get this right. that is interesting, you use the phrase "cursed." for somebody in your position of authority it's a very strong word. it was consciously a strong word. people will speak of them in far stronger terms than we speak today of the politicians of the �*30s, of the politicians who ignored what was happening in nazi germany, because this will kill people all around the world for generations and we will have no means of averting it. he later apologised for making the comparison to the nazi genocide. no 10 stepped around commenting on the nature of those claims, but said there's no doubt about the seriousness of the climate challenge. it's only day one of a discussion that's already taken more than two decades, but the consequences of glasgow's conversation will be felt far longer than that. and, horse—mac, just think, you have had that very personal appeal to world leaders from the queen tonight —— and, huw. repeated that the demands from boris johnson —— and, huw. repeated that the demands from borisjohnson to his counterparts in the last 48 hours, and there is no question the uk is trying to flex every muscle at its all really to really to try to persuade and cajole and the two leaders from right around the world that this fortnight has to mean something beyond this huge event in glasgow. it really has to be a moment when things change for the betterfor moment when things change for the better for decades moment when things change for the betterfor decades to moment when things change for the better for decades to come, but remember the uk is the host. it has the power to try to move the conversation in a direction, but at the end of the day even the best host can't account for the conduct of all the guests. studio: laura kuenssberg, many thanks, yet again. laura kuenssberg with the latest analysis just over in the conference centre. as laura was indicating, there are some very specific climate targets to be discussed in the coming 12 days. the main goal — and by far the most important according to the experts — is to keep the rise in global warming to 1.5 degrees — to avert the worst effects of climate change. so far, the rise in temperature has already reached at least 1.1 degrees, above the average level of the pre—industrial period. the problem is that even if current pledges are honoured, the world is still on course for a hugely damaging increase of 2.7 degrees by the end of the century. 0ur science editor david shukman looks at what the negotiators need to achieve in the days ahead. the world is heating up and despite all the talk about climate change we are still heading for catastrophic temperatures, so this is a chance to pick a safer course. but these giant conferences, bringing together thousands of people, over the past 25 years have always been challenging. this is the 10th that i've been to. it's amazing that, despite the pandemic, so many people have managed to get here. the rule is to be masked up whenever you're moving around. and the main focus for all the delegates who are here actually happens in giant meeting halls through there — that's where they have got to tackle the toughest question. what matters most is emissions of the gases heating the planet. they are heading in the wrong direction. projected to rise by 16% by 2030, just as the science couldn't be clearer that they need to fall by 45% over that time. and the fear is that this is rebounding on us. it is time to say, "enough." enough of brutalising biodiversity, enough of killing ourselves with carbon, enough of treating nature like a toilet, enough of burning and drilling and mining our way deeper. we are digging our own graves. powerful words, but with nearly 200 countries represented here there are so many different agendas, that is why progress is usually slow. if you are sitting down, you can take your mask off, and it is often in places like this that small, informal groups of negotiators will get together to try to crank the hardest questions like getting aid to the poorest nations who are hit hardest by climate change. i've seen for myself how droughts and other extremes of weather can devastate the nations least able to cope. there was a promise of assistance more than a decade ago but it still hasn't been fulfilled. the faith in the international process, it becomes a little weaker, there is a lot of distrust, there is a lot of unhappiness because we keep saying everybody has to do this together but some have more responsibility than others. and while the talks are under way, the countries show off what they are doing for climate change and the hope is to encourage practical steps. like phasing out coal, the dirtiest of the fossil fuels, and pushing the spread of cleaner, electric vehicles. and that is the message from sir david attenborough, that humans can be the greatest problem solvers. in my lifetime, i have witnessed a terrible decline. in yours, you could and should witness a wonderful recovery. that desperate hope, ladies and gentlemen, is why the world is looking to you and why you are here. thank you. applause a call to action well received, but what matters now is how the governments of the world actually respond. lets get the latest thoughts tonight. davidjoins from lets get the latest thoughts tonight. david joins from another part of the arena. we have heard some words from india today. we will have your thoughts on that, and indeed on the latest message from china. , ~ , ., ., china. yes, i think it is fair to sa , china. yes, i think it is fair to say. huw. — china. yes, i think it is fair to say. huw. the _ china. yes, i think it

announcement. yes, declaring you will be met zero x 2070 is a very long way off, but to say half your energy will come from renewable sources by 2030, that is a pretty meaningful target. and it has been very widely welcomed, not least because for years india as a developing country wouldn't accept international climate targets of this kind. 0n the other hand, china, you mentioned, sticking to its current policies. president xi saying in fact it is western countries who need to take the lead when it comes to tackling climate change, and meanwhile a group of small island states who feel their very existence is threatened, so fed up very existence is threatened, so fed up with the slow pace of all of this, they have decided to mount a legal challenge at a un tribunal to try to win compensation, so as things stand perhaps that little bit of progress, but the world is still heading in the wrong direction when it comes to the dangers.— it comes to the dangers. thank you. we will see — it comes to the dangers. thank you. we will see what happens _ it comes to the dangers. thank you. we will see what happens tomorrowj it comes to the dangers. thank you. i we will see what happens tomorrow of course and we will talk again. our science editor, david shukman. we'll have more from the climate summit later in the programme but now let's have the day's other news with clive. huw, thank you for that. the driver of one of two trains involved in a collision last night near salisbury, in wiltshire, has suffered injuries believed to be "life—changing". an investigation is underway into the cause of the crash, in which several other people were hurt. the collision happened at fisherton tunnel in salisbury, around 7pm in the evening. the line will remain closed for the next three days, affecting services linking cardiff and bristol, with the south coast. jon kay, has the latest, and a warning, his report contains some flashing images. questions tonight at the fisherton tunnel. these two trains were travelling into salisbury in the same direction but somehow collided and ended up side by side. it mostly hurts in my shoulder, up here, that's where the major sprain is... cameron was on board, heading home from a halloween party, about to get off when suddenly... this most awful noise, which i now know was the two trains hitting each other, violently being thrown about as the train kind of... they collided and my train started going at an angle. there's this huge whoosh of fire and sparks. it's quite scary seeing people with blood on their face or blood on their masks and clothes. we were in darkness and there's just panic. through the window, cameron took this picture of the other train crashed alongside. so you're waiting in the dark, what's that wait like? time just stretches out and out and out and it was only when we heard someone had spotted the blue lights on the bridge, that's not far from the tunnel, that there was any idea that help was coming. to start with, it was thought the great western railways train had derailed after hitting something in the tunnel and that the second southwestern train had then crashed into it, but this evening british transport police said they have not found any evidence that the first train struck an object. this is now a major investigation. there were almost 100 people on board the two trains, around 30 of them were treated for minor injuries. unfortunately, the driver of the train was more seriously injured and his injuries are believed to be life changing. he remains in hospital in a stable condition this morning. investigators are trying to establish whether the driver of the first train managed to press the alarm to warn other trains through the signalling system. when you see pictures of the scene in daylight now, what do you make of what happened? i think daylight brings about the seriousness of the situation. it kind of reinforces that we got really really lucky, in that this wasn't something so much worse. it could be days before the tunnel entrance is cleared and services can resume. jon kay, bbc news, salisbury. the french president, emmanuel macron, has postponed plans to implement sanctions on the uk in the dispute over post—brexit fishing rights. he said talks would continue tomorrow. earlier, the foreign secretary, liz truss, said the uk wouldn't "roll over", after paris had threatened to block access to its ports for british boats. 0ur political correspondent, damian grammaticas, has more. storm clouds threatening. it is all quiet for now injersey, calm in the harbour, but the island remains locked in dispute with france. fishermen here are already finding themselves tangled in this dispute. for decades, natalie porritt�*s family have exported the catch made here, selling it in france, but she has just been notified that from tomorrow she should stay away from the port. we have never seen the industry stop, bar covid. i think we had two or three weeks where we didn't export into european markets, but for 40 plus years we have worked well with our french neighbours. the french side say they will see how things stand on thursday. if jersey�*s authorities give permission for more of their boats to fish in their waters. we won't succumb to political threats or rhetoric or anecdote. it's clear. at least ten days fishing in any one of the last three years show that you have done that and you are entitled to a license. what is extraordinary is that this is a dispute aboutjust a few dozen fishing licenses and it's threatening the relationship between the uk and france. france says it's entitled to them under the terms of its trade deal with the uk, the uk that those boats can't prove they should have access to british and jersey waters. france's prime minister, jean castex, in a letter to the eu last week, urged action under the trade deal, saying... and he listed "access to ports." at the climate summit, clenched fists from the french president and prime minister. this was a friendly greeting. emmanuel macron said tonight he had made a new proposal to de—escalate things and that the uk would bring forward new ideas to push things forward new ideas to push things forward tomorrow. they have behaved unfairly. the fishing licences were awarded entirely in accordance with the trade deal we negotiated and we now need them to withdraw those unreasonable threats that they've made. so, the uk says it's glad france has held back and it expects talks to continue later in the week, to try to unravel this dispute. damian grammaticas, bbc news. the government's latest coronavirus figures for the uk show there were 40,077 new infections recorded, in the latest 24—hour period, which means on average there were 41,081 new cases reported per day in the last week. 40 deaths were recorded, that's of people who died within 28 days of a positive covid—19 test. today's figure is below average due to some deaths in england not being included because of a technical error. on average in the past week, 157 related deaths were recorded every day. and more than 8 million people have received their boosterjab, this includes third doses for those with certain health conditions. the barclays chief executive, jes staley, has resigned, after an inquiry into his links with the sex offender jeffrey epstein. the city watchdog and the bank of england have been looking into whether mr staley�*s relationship with the late financier was closer than first thought. barclays says it's been made aware of the conclusions of the investigation, and mr staley�*s intention to contest the findings. our business editor simonjack is here. what did the regulators find that meant he had to go? before jes staley joined beforejes staleyjoined barclays in 2015 he worked atjpmorgan where jeffrey epstein was an important client, and he doesn't deny he had a relationship with him but he said the contact was frequent but always very professional. the regulator has found that looking at e—mails between them, they said the volume of them and the tone of them suggests the relationship was a lot closer than jes staley suggests the relationship was a lot closer thanjes staley had told the board of barclays. this is the second time he has had a run in with the regulators and he was censured and fined for trying to track down a whistle—blower and although he says he will contest these findings, the board and jes staley felt it was difficult for him to run the bank if he is in open dispute with the regulator. he will contest these findings and he is doubly disappointed because he fought off a shareholder rebellion when he was backed by the board, and his strategy was beginning to bear fruit and the bank was doing very well. after a 40 year career he would not want this to be his legacy. as we sit here tonight, he intends to contest these findings but it will not be as the chief executive of barclays. not be as the chief executive of barcla s. ., ., ., , england's cricketers are on the brink of the semi—finals at the t20 world cup after their fourth win of the tournament. an outstanding performance from jos buttler helped them maintain their perfect record after beating sri lanka. here'sjoe wilson. england's invincible batters. where's this going? oh, there. it's a world cup and sri lanka were desperate to win this match. here's another. commentator: oh, that's out. early wickets made spirits soar in those seats. who's left? well, jos buttler. nobody hits a cricket ball better. he paced this innings. by the time he'd finished, england's total was 163. sri lanka's shock — how did they get that far? facing the last ball, buttler needed a six to reach his personal hundred... he-senjoyang— a fantastic tournament. it is so hard to make it look that easy. but sri lanka have their big hitters, too. wanindu hasaranga kept the chase on. england's fastest bowler tymal mills went off — he's had wretched luck with injuries. sri lanka still hunting. jos buttler had the ball. what? brilliant from buttler! watch this run out. sri lanka soon 137 all out. jos buttler, just perfect. joe wilson, bbc news. now, let's return to our top story, the climate summit cop26, and to huw, in glasgow. many thanks once again. this global event, taking place a year later than planned because of the pandemic, has brought around 25,000 delegates to scotland's biggest city, and it's certainly caused plenty of disruption here. but it's also an opportunity for glasgow to demonstrate its own efforts to reduce carbon emissions, with a target of net zero by 2030. 0ur scotland editor sarah smith has the story. water tight security, road closures and congestion, maybe a small price to pay for a climate agreement bearing glasgow's name. three fully electric buses are running around the city. visitors at the depot get a full virtual reality glimpse of what a greener glasgow could look like. this is the largest electric vehicle charging hub in the uk. with the capacity to power a small town or 150 fully electric buses. total cost of ownership now is at a point where it's level with diesel or may be going slightly lower than diesel. it means we can start moving to electric vehicles and we can then keep fares as low as we can for customers. this whole setup cost £9 million. 75% of the cost met by the scottish government. scotland is aiming to get to net zero five years before the rest of the uk by 2045. cop26 provides glasgow, the whole of scotland, in fact, with an opportunity to showcase its green credentials but it also brings increased scrutiny. the scottish government has missed its climate targets for each of the last three years. increased investment in transport is a major plank in its catch—up plan. with a wee scrub up, we will be perfect. buying and selling second—hand goods is nothing new, quite literally, but can significantly reduce your carbon footprint. this children's shop is one part of glasgow's efforts to be one of the world's first cities with a circular economy, that is one that eliminates waste by reusing products and materials. i think, in the past, even operations like this, we talk about low cost goods and the quality and choice of stuff we have got and maybe we've been scared of talking about the environmental impact. we didn't want to seem too green or hippie but people now know that is the conversation. charity workers nurturing parts of glasgow's open woodland demand c0 p26 succeeds. i hope it will. it has to. it must do. if it doesn't, then we have the right to be incredibly angry. i have more faith in the grassroots things that are happening in glasgow and around the world than i do in the cop system. glasgow's own environment is being tested now by a bin workers' strike. piles of rubbish are not what anyone wants this summit to be remembered for. coming up shortly — there's more from glasgow. here's kirsty wark. straight after the news, do stick with us. we're at cop26 in glasgow, with a young audience from all over the world. they are going to be putting four international political figures on the spot about everything from coal mining to electric cars. that's at 10:30 on bbc one. that's it for tonight — we'll be back in glasgow tomorrow to assess if the conference is making progress towards achieving its goals. now on bbc one, time for the news where you are. have a very good night. good evening. welcome to bbc london this monday evening. thanks forjoining us. as we've been hearing from huw, it's the opening day of the climate summit in glasgow — where world leaders have been meeting. london's mayor also headed there today with other leaders of global cities to call for more funding and more powers to make the neccessary changes. 0ur environment correspondent tom edwards takes a closer look at the challenges facing urban areas. this summer, flash flooding hit parts of the capital. experts say they'll become more frequent as the climate warms. at euston this morning, mayors from 12 countries took a message to the climate conference in glasgow. the action from world leaders is needed to stop climate change. we've got to make sure that we can lobby governments across the globe, including our one, to give mayors in cities the powers and resources they need to take action to move away from carbon emissions, to sustainable ways of creating energy, renewables, solar, wind. we have got to retrofit our buildings. we have got to electrify our buses. that northerly wind away from the showers, it will be called to with a touch of frost and accordingly for scotland and northern again, experts say that's more likely if the climate continues to warm. cities suffer more as they are made of concrete, which absorbs heat and then pumps it out. it's called the urban heat island. according to the un, cities use 78% of the world's energy, and emit 60% of the greenhouse gases. they consist of only 2% of the world's surface area. experts say if global warming is to be restricted to a rise of 1.5 degrees, which is what they are talking about in glasgow, then it will mean big shifts in land, energy, buildings, transport and infrastructure. cities across the world now have similar concerns. phoenix is a desert city. we are warming quickly. we need success. phoenix is a desert city. we are warming quickly. we need success. we are sending the message we want to be part of the solution more on more now on day one of the world climate summit in glasgow, where an evening reception with members of the royal family and world leaders has been held at the kelvingrove museum, not too far from the conference centre. here are pictures of the the prince of wales, the duchess of cornwall, and the duke and duchess of cambridge arriving a little earlier on this evening, along with boris johnson. the queen, as we know, is not in glasgow this week, but this video message was played to those attending. i to those attending. am delighted to welcome you a the i am delighted to welcome you all to the 26th united nations climate change conference. and it is perhaps fitting that we have all come together in glasgow once heartland of the industrial revolution, but now a place to address climate change. this is a duty i am especially happy to discharge as the impact of the environment on human progress was a subject close to the heart of my dear late husband, prince philip, the duke of edinburgh. i rememberwell that in 1969, he pulled an academic gathering, if the real pollution situation is not critical at the moment, it is a student as anything can be ? certain, that it will become increasingly intolerable within a very short time. if we fail to cope with this challenge, all of the problems will pale into insignificance. it is a source of great pride to me that the leading role my husband played in encouraging people to protect our fragile planet lives on through the work of her eldest son charles and his eldest son william. i could not be more proud of them. indeed, i have drawn great comfort and inspiration from the relentless enthusiasm of people of all ages, especially the young, and calling for everyone to play their part. in the coming days, the world has the chance to join in the shared objective of creating a safer stable or future for our people and for the planet on which we depend. none of us underestimates the challenges ahead, but history has shown that when nations come together in common cause, there is always room for hope. working side—by—side, we have the ability to solve the most insurmountable problems and to triumph over the greatest of adversities. for more than 70 years, i have been lucky to meet and to know many of the worlds great leaders. and i have perhaps come to understand a little about what made them special. it is sometimes been observed that when leaders do for their people today, involves the politics, but but involves tomorrow is statesmanship. ? what involves tomorrow. this is one of those rare occasions where everyone will have the chance to rise above the politics of the
