allowed to move forward. the french president says he will delay retaliatory measures against the uk, while talks about post—brexit fishing rights continue. welcome to our viewers on pbs in america and around the globe. in one of the first substantial deals to be announced at the climate summit in glasgow, world leaders have agreed to end deforestation by 2030. around 100 countries are signing up to the pledge, among them brazil, canada, russia and indonesia which is the largest exporter of palm oil, which has led to a dramatic removal of forestry in the country. the commitment will cover 85% of the world's forests. the full details are due to be announced by borisjohnson on tuesday. charles mcneill is the senior advisor on forest and climate at the un environment programme, who is in glasgow. he gave me his reaction to the announcement. it is electrifying. so exciting. i arrived here at 2am in glasgow and got the news, just as you said, 100 leaders representing 85% of the world's forests, $12 billion in public funds and another $7 billion in private funds in provisions for empowering indigenous peoples, the public—private, the public sector, the private sector, it is actually a dream come true and we are so excited. it is such an accomplishment. it is a game changer and i think what people don't realise is that without this, without stopping deforestation and restoring the world's forests, we cannot avert catastrophic climate change. it is essential and this is a breakthrough. among the signatories it includes president bolsonaro of brazil and we know how much criticism he has coming for there must, nonetheless, be at the back of your mind the anxiety as to how genuine these commitments will prove to be. absolutely. but now that it is in the public domain it is up to the leaders to deliver, it is up to the public to put the political pressure to ensure that we keep our commitments. it is up there, it is now a done deal, 100 leaders, 85% of forest, something that is historic and we have not seen this kind of breakthrough in a generation. i think there is also a reference to 30 of the world's biggest companies buying into this process and the whole idea of any trade with anyone who is involved in deforestation would become such a black market that they simply cannot happen. i presume that is where the power of momentum, particularly in the private sector, can come into its own. absolutely. and it is up to consumers to put pressure on companies and the companies to get further commitments. it is an essential component. we need both distant political decision—makers to take these steps and we also need the private sector to come along as well. that is what is so exciting about this announcement. it brings the public in the private sector together. there was always going to be a danger of getting carried away by moments like this. it is very early in the summer but, nonetheless, as we have said, borisjohnson will call it a landmark agreement. what does something like this do for people like yourself, for negotiators and advisers who have come to the summit wondering whether or not there will be momentum or not? as i said it isjust so surprising and so delightful, so important. i could not imagine a more positive beginning to the conference and a more auspicious beginning. this is a big piece of the agenda, one quarter of the problem. and data shows that simply by protecting and restoring forest we can get one third of the way towards meeting paris goals. so it is extremely encouraging. it is, i don't know, it is like christmas. 0ur holiday all wrapped into one. it could not be more exciting. there is one very happy delicate. the announcement on deforestation follows an opening day in which president joe biden spoke of the millions ofjobs that can be created through new technologies to reduce carbon emissions, and india's prime minister told the conference is country aims to become carbon neutral by the year 2070. it's the first time india has announced a net zero target. 0ur political editor laura kuenssberg has more. a red london bus. electric, of course. with the skirl 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 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 leaders must be all too aware. 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. number 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. well let's get more on that announcement from india's prime minister modi that the nation one of the most polluting in the world will cut emmissions to net zero by 2070, missing a key goal of cop26. bharati chaturvedi is the founder of chintan, one of india's largest environmental charities. thank you very much indeed for your time. what do you make of that commitment, and the date of 2070 attached to it? i that commitment, and the date of 2070 attached to it?- of 2070 attached to it? i think it is very ambitious _ of 2070 attached to it? i think it is very ambitious because i of 2070 attached to it? i think it is very ambitious because it | it is very ambitious because it is notjust about it is very ambitious because it is not just about a it is very ambitious because it is notjust about a date, it is also about who is making it, and that is india. with such a huge number of people who are poor and such a huge impact that we are already facing from climate change, whether it is cyclones or all types of other disturbances, so i think it's a very, it's quite ambitious, and unlike you, i am quite optimistic and i am quite delighted that we are even making this.— making this. sorry to interrupt, _ making this. sorry to interrupt, china - making this. sorry to - interrupt, china produces something like 23% of c02 something like 23% of co2 emissions, india 7%, china is aiming for a emissions, india 7%, china is aiming fora net emissions, india 7%, china is aiming for a net zero x 2060, so what is it that makes it such a long lead time for india? i such a long lead time for india? ~ . such a long lead time for india? ~' ., ., india? i think we have to remember _ india? i think we have to remember what - india? i think we have to remember what india's l india? i think we have to - remember what india's history as as well because we are our country that until 70 years, 75 years ago was completely drained of its wealth, and now we are building back so you can't ignore the history from which india emerges in strengthens itself, so our challenge is to look and find property, notjust poverty in a way economists mean it but energy poverty, gender gaps, all of those things, with a history of draining all of our wealth in a postcolonial era, and also on the other hand fighting climate change, so i think in fact, it is the responsibility and prime minister modi says so and he says we have to commit to climate finance and he has a number there of $1 trillion, so i think it is quite ambitious for a country that finds itself in such an extraordinarily difficult situation and such an extraordinary difficult history. extraordinary difficult history-— extraordinary difficult histo . , ., history. presumably part of the arc ument history. presumably part of the argument would _ history. presumably part of the argument would also _ history. presumably part of the argument would also be - history. presumably part of the argument would also be that i history. presumably part of the argument would also be that of the richer countries still can't find a way to committed $100 million per yearfrom 2020 onwards, in terms of helping countries like india to bring in that private investment, then what can they expect? £31 then what can they expect? of course, that's a very valid point, and it kind of shows, we have seen in the last few years how little they have contributed, in fact it's countries like india that are contributing to world stability by sending out vaccines and so on, and on the other hand i think the richer countries, they not only need to put out they not only need to put out the money and put their money whether commitments are, but also dramatically reduce their own carbon emissions, and this is not the time to pull each other down, but it is also a time to remind the wealthy countries that it is payback time. many of them have passed that have drained wealth from other countries and now it is time to pay back, so it's not just risk to rich country's money going out there, it is returning at.— money going out there, it is returning at. thank you very much indeed _ returning at. thank you very much indeed for _ returning at. thank you very much indeed for your - much indeed for your perspective, the figure is 2070 the for net zero in india, and thatis the for net zero in india, and that is the first time they have made such a commitment. thank you very much indeed. stay with us on bbc news,

voyager one is now the most distant man—made object anywhere in the universe, and itjust seems to keep on going. tonight, we prove once more that the true strength of our nation comes not from the might of our arms or the scale of our wealth, but from the enduring power of our ideals. this is bbc world news, the latest headlines: world leaders at the climate summit in glasgow promise to end deforestation by 2030, in a pledge that covers 85% of the world's forests. it follows an opening day in which india's prime minister, narendra modi, pledged for his country to become carbon neutral by the year 2070. the united states supreme court has been hearing arguments about a law in the state of texas that has virtually ended abortion after six weeks of pregnancy. justices heard two challenges to the law, which bans abortion after six weeks of pregnancy and allows citizens to sue anyone involved in the process. abortion rights groups have argued that the architects of the texas law wrote it this way to deliberately avoid federal oversight. earlier i spoke to aimee arrambide of avow, a non—profit that works to secure unrestricted abortion access for every texa n. i asked her how confident she is this law will be overturned. i think sb8 is unconstitutional, it's one of the most egregious bans in the country, and my hope is that the justices demonstrate that constitutionality and abortion care needs to be accessible, and they will overturn sb8. well, that is your hope, on which grounds do you think you have the best chance? i mean, i think it completely flies and the face of roe v wade and, not only that, the way that they've construed the law in making any private citizen a bounty hunter, essentially, fpr people seeking abortion care. essentially, for people seeking abortion care. it's just not in line with the federal constitution or texas constitution, so i'm— i'm hopeful. i don't want to say that it's— that i can predict it because we do have an anti—abortion majority in the supreme court right now, um, but i'm hopeful. right, i mean, you're calling it sb8 because that, of course, that is the law, that's the terminology for this particular law. and if there is—if you are to get what you want, obviously you are running up once again against texas, the state. they are going to want to fight back on this. it is a very long battle, presumably, even though us supreme courtjustices seem keen to get on with the matter. i mean, today they were just dealing with and looking at whether or not to enjoin the bill, and also whether the department ofjustice and biden administration could actually intervene. they weren't looking at the actual law and constitutionality. so i think that's, you know, there's a difference there, um, yeah. what does it tell you? i wonder to you, as someone who is fighting hard on the rights for— the abortion rights here, would it matter what the grounds inaudible. so, whether it's an issue of constitutionality or indeed a more fundamental issue regarding abortion? i mean, no, since this law went into effect two months ago, the majority of people seeking abortion care have had to be turned away or have had to travel out of state, or have been forced to carry their pregnancy to term, and that's not in line with the fundamental right to abortion access. and so i think that it doesn't exactly matter, as long as they protect that right for all texans and all americans. what we know is that when abortion bans are implemented in texas, they spread across the country, and already other states have decided they are going to introduce these bills in that legislative sessions, so this could affect so many more people than just the people of texas. aimee arrambide, there. the number of coronavirus letters debts could be much higher than reported. emergency teams in nigeria are working through the night in the search for survivors of a lagos apartment block that collapsed while under construction. dozens of people are feared trapped in the rubble. suzanne kianpour reports. a nightmare in the nigerian city of lagos after a 21 haven floor luxury residential

other building? they are saying about 50 people were inside there. people have been calling 111, no—one answers. people are still inside there. subpar materials, negligence, and construction regulations have made building collapses more common in at lagos, and other parts nigeria, �*s was popular country. 0fficials popular country. officials say it is too early to say what caused it. they plan on making results of the enquiry public. 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 on tuesday. 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's all quiet for now injersey, calm in the harbour. the island remains locked in dispute with france, and fishermen here are already finding themselves tangled in this argument. for decades, natalie porritt�*s family have exported jersey's catch to france. she was notified that from tomorrow she should stay away from the port. france has now said talks can continue for a short period. we've 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've worked well with our french neighbours. the french side say they will see how things stand on thursday, ifjersey�*s authorities might give permission for more french boats to fish in its 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're entitled to a license. what's 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 the prime minister. but this was a friendly greeting. emmanuel macron said he'd made a new proposal to de—escalate things, and he understood that the uk would bring forward new ideas to push things forward. 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. bit ofan bit of an awkward sideshow, given everything going on in glasgow at the same time. don't forget you can go to our website for all of the latest on what is taking place at cop26. you can get in touch with me on twitter as well. i'm @bbcdavideades. thanks for watching. hello. after a warm and wet october the stormy final weekend has a different flavour to our weather now that we are into november. low pressure is moving away, around and there are still showers but overall it is looking drier. now with a developing northerly breeze coming into the uk and it's chilly now, but it is turning colder still in the next couple of days. here's what's on the agenda for the rest of the week. we've established as low pressure moves away, drier, the air around it turning colder. some sunny spells, yes, a chance of showers mainly coastal areas. 0vernight fog and frost, both of those in some spots as tuesday begins, especially across parts of england where the coldest areas here getting close to freezing at the day begins. showers from the word go in northern scotland, and some of these can be heavy maybe with hail and thunder. and some will push further south across scotland during the day and increasing a chance of catching a shower in northern ireland across parts of wales for the western side of england. much of central and eastern england will state largely dry. many places will see sunny spells and temperatures across the uk nine to 12 celsius. the wind continuing to ease. and with those light winds overnight and into wednesday that's a recipe for some mist and fog patches, especially across parts of england and wales. and again a recipe for seeing temperatures close to freezing, especially in the countryside for a touch of frost as wednesday starts. so on wednesday, then, again many places going to stay dry. you can see the showers around to begin with and mainly affecting coastal areas. if you running through northern ireland, some into northern scotland. this patch along the north sea coast mayjust push further inland across england during the day with that wind direction. and a colderfeeling day on wednesday with more places topping out in just single figures for the top temperature. as we go from wednesday to thursday, a high—pressure trying to nudge in from the west and with that wind direction also killing off many of the showers across western parts of the uk. we will continue to see them especially along some north sea coast on thursday. a stronger northerly breeze, more of the wind—chill around on thursday. and there is a change developing in northwest scotland, thicker clouds and some outbreaks of rain starting to move in. a weather system that will bring some rain to parts of scotland, and northern ireland going into saturday and then pushing a little bit further south as the weekend goes on. and that's your latest forecast for the week ahead. this is bbc news, the headlines: world leaders at the climate summit in glasgow have agreed to end deforestation by 2030. around 100 countries are signing up to the pledge, including brazil, canada, russia and indonesia which is the largest exporter of palm oil, which has led to a dramatic removal of forestry in the country. it follows an opening day in which india's prime minister, narendra modi, told the conference that his country aims to become carbon neutral by the year 2070. it's the first time that india, which is the world's fourth biggest emitter of carbon dioxide, has announced a net zero target. emergency teams in nigeria are working through the night to find dozens of people who are feared trapped in the rubble of a collapsed apartment block in lagos. the building was under construction at the time. the driver of one of two trains involved in a collision
