report by the committee of standards. and i have said before the members of parliament must uphold the highest standards in public life. that is why the process for this house to consider this standards in fractions of the most importance. it must be fair, robust and command respect across the whole house and there must be tough and robust checks against lobbying for profit and a proper process to scrutinise, and if necessary discipline those who do not follow the rules. however, it's also my role as leader of the house to listen to the concerns and thoughts of members across the house, which are now too numerous to ignore. and since the publication of this report many honourable members have expressed concern about the way in which the report was prepared and this is evident in the amendment to the motion that has been tabled by my right honourable friend, the memberfor my right honourable friend, the member for south northamptonshire. mister speaker, today i come not to defend my right honourable friend the memberfor north russia but to consider the process by which she has been tried. 7 the memberfor north shropshire. it is not for me tojudge, others have done that, but was the process a fair one7 tojudge, others have done that, but was the process a fair one? let justice be done though the heavens fall. any disciplinary process concerned as it is with peoples jobs and livelihoods must be fair and respect basic principles of natural justice. the concerns that have been raised with me in this case and other standards cases by honourable members from government and opposition parties include the lack of examination of witnesses and the unused mechanism for the appointment of an investigator re— permit stop the interpretation of rules relating to whistle—blowing on the length of time taken and the lack of continuity in participation in investigations, and the aggregation of aggravating factors and the absence of the right of appeal. mister

becomes partisan and ifeel... mr speaker, whilst honourable members opposite cackle and crow, they have made my point. it is a sadness to me that this chamber is not, as one would hope it could be, the apolitical court of appeal for standards cases, but the other side has absolutely no desire to do that. therefore, we need to look at an independent appeals process as we have with the independent

point and is not of the kind i think many of us would like to see. can he tell the house how often this has has overturned a report on standards committee with respect to the behaviour of the particular member7 i'm afraid the honourable lady has not troubled to read the amendment. the it is not overturning the report the standards committee. it is looking into whether or not there should be a form of appeal and setting up a committee to look at how standard is working. there have been, as i was saying, mr speaker, problems with process. let me turn first to be examination or non—examination of witnesses. paragraph at six to ten of a standing order 150. allow the commissioner to appoint an investigatory panel to assist in establishing the facts relevant to an investigation. the standards committee is also able to request the commissioner appoints such a panel. underthese the commissioner appoints such a panel. under these provisions, the commissioner chose this committee with two assesses he would advise the commissioner but have no responsibility for the findings. one would be a legal assessor and the other a senior member of the house he would advise on parliamentary matters and be appointed by you, mr speaker. the commissioner were to determine the proceedings and code appoint counsel to assist the panel. the member against him the complaint had been made would be entitled to be heard in person and have the opportunity to call witnesses and examine other witnesses. the conclusion of proceedings, the commissioner would report as usual. the legal processor with report the committee to the extent at which the proceedings have been consistent with the principles of national justice, which of course refers to the right to a fair trial and a proper and just process, and the member assessor might report on the extent to which the proceedings have regard to the custom and practice of the house and its members. i will give way. the house and

what is good enough for them is not good enough for the other member in which we are discussing? the honourable gentleman raises a really very important point and i'm grateful to him for doing so. i think the reason it has come now is because of the volume of complaints that have come through and the more widespread feeling of unfairness across all benches that have been brought to my attention and the attention of others. in very simplistic, clich d terms, this is the famous store that has broken the much long—suffering cam old back. i will give way. i'm very grateful but they do not see any members of the opposition signing the amendment. that is the point i made earlier about the unfortunate state of affairs that this has it does not work as a court of appeal, but regrettably

right _ should be open to someone? he is absolutely right and _ should be open to someone? he is absolutely right and these are two things the committee will be asked to look at to see if it can clarify the interpretation on the whistle—blowing exemption. let me return to standing order 150 which appears to provide a mechanism for the investigation of contentious cases which respects national justice, ensures the councillors appointed, appropriate for what is ultimately a quasi judicial process and introduces significant checks and introduces significant checks and balances into the investigation such as the appointment of a separate member by the speaker to act as an assessor and the right of the member being investigated to call witnesses and be able to examine other witnesses rather than leaving it to the discretion of commissioner. in a case where so many witnesses and so many members have made their concerns known, it is unfortunate that the commissioner did not appoint such a panel. indeed, the standards commissioner committee have never opted to use this mechanism, despite many contentious cases before them. i will give way. i'm very grateful to my right honourable friend for giving way on that point. because some 17 individuals have come forward, saying that, if not the point that, whether or not someone is guilty or not of paid advocacy, that there must be justice and thatjustice must be justice and thatjustice must be justice and thatjustice must be seen to be done, and in this case, many right minded people would say that justice case, many right

jacob rees—mogg are there and the conservatives continuing that debate and it is due to run for certainly and it is due to run for certainly an hour and a half or so, and this is all about the conservative mp owen paterson and the process and chris bryant for labour, and there was plenty of opportunities to come in the next hour and half but let's summarise where we with our political correspondent who is listening to this in westminster, because this might seem arcane, but it's about the process, and i think we got a sense that of some party divided and how strongly the issue is felt. explain exactly what they saw one and a half hours or so is about. it saw one and a half hours or so is about. , ., .., ., �* , all about. it is quite arcane and it's all to do with _ about. it

it's| all to do with how mps and their conduct is policed and disciplined, so the way it works in the house of commons is if there is a complaint against an mp or it suspected an mp has broken the rules, there is a watchdog, the parliamentary standards commissioner who investigates. they come to a conclusion as to whether the rules have been broken and put their report and their recommendation and conclusions to a committee which includes mps and some laypeople who consider it and they come up with what they think is the appropriate sanction should be and then for that sanction should be and then for that sanction to happen, it goes to a vote of the house of commons are normally these votes are pretty straightforward and the conclusion is presented, the proposed punishment is presented and mps vote to agree with it. what has happened here is that there have been some concerns raised by mps in relation to the way that the investigation into owen paterson was carried out, so are in paris 7 owen paterson, the north shropshire mp was investigated by the commission over approaches he major government departments relating to companies he was paid to work for as a consultant and he also used his parliamentary office or business meetings. the parliamentary standards commissioner said it was a breach of the rules and the committee agreed and said he should be suspended from the house of commons for 30 days, so that is the recommendation that mps are discussing now but what has since happened is that conservatives who are sympathetic to owen paterson had tabled an amendment to that to try and change it so it would put the suspension on hold and set up a new committee which would look at the whole disciplinary process again. and the key issue they want to focus on is that owen paterson, who has always said he did not do anything wrong, has questioned the process saying there is no right of appeal for an mp who is found to have breached the rules and there is no appeal against the punishment and that he was not allowed to have witnesses who would have spoken in his defence interviewed as part of that, so what this amendment is looking at is whether or not that sort of process should be introduced via the committee and the government has swung behind the amendment and told the tory mps they should vote for it but the reason it's so controversial is that it is coming back off the individual case and it would put on hold owen paterson's suspension to see whether he should have a right of appeal and we've heard some of that in the debate so far and we heard jess phillips asking if we would be in this position if it was a labour mp at the centre of this and jacob rees—mogg said yes, he believed it would, so this is the issue, because it's pegged to an individual case, there are a lot of mps are unhappy that this is the way it has been chosen to try and make changes to the way that parliament works and you heard jacob rees—mogg saying it's because of the volume of complaints and the straw that broke the camels back, but also how the debate and some of the about that. so there is a vote in the mid afternoon. we will listen a bit more and talk to you around the time of the vote we will be back with you. thank you for now. let's head back to the chamber and will be interesting to hear from to the chamber and will be interesting to hearfrom bernard jenkin. life, it is the commissioner who would share that panel. it should be chaired independently, to be an independent appeals process so it has never been used because it would be so likely to arrive at the same conclusion. i be so likely to arrive at the same conclusion-— conclusion. i am gratefulto my honourable _ conclusion. i am gratefulto my honourable friend. _

this house can never be and should never be a mere rubber stamp. that is not our purpose. we are a sovereign parliament. as i was saying, turning to my right honourable friend's amendment, the select committee can considerfor amendment, the select committee can consider for example whether the standing order should be changed so the panel was always established in contentious cases or consider any mechanism to ensure witnesses were always called and examined. i would also like to turn to whistle—blowing and its relationship to rules on lobbying as raised by the honourable gentleman. the rules relating to paid advocacy have been considered many times over the years i've rightly placed restrictions on members. in 2012 hrs recognise the need for a whistle—blowing provision to make clear in exceptional cases if there were some serious role, a member could approach the responsible minister of public official, even if doing so might incidentally benefit a paying client. concerns have been expressed about the commissioner and committee's interpretation of the application of this exemption in the case of serious public policy issue, and whether the balance was correctly struck. we must therefore think carefully about how we protect the ability of our mps to raise issues where they see them, while ensuring our system is robust against abuse. the balance is worth examining and the select committee appointed to the purpose of reviewing the standard system would be able to give it due consideration. i give way to the honourable gentleman. i consideration. i give way to the honourable gentleman.- consideration. i give way to the honourable gentleman. i thank the leader of dallas _ honourable gentleman. i thank the leader of dallas small _ honourable gentleman. i thank

for the committee to look at. but what i would say, is that the purpose of the exemption is the serious wrong, and as my right honourable friend has pointed out, the problem is pointed out with milk and with carcinogens in processed food saved lives, so, if you come into information because of an outside interest, should you really hold it back, mr speaker, from government officials, if it would save lives? i will give way. i am save lives? iwill give way. i am crateful save lives? iwill give way. i am grateful to _ save lives? iwill give way. i am grateful to the _ save lives? iwill give

the proposition that the rules require reform in this regard, but he knows, as we all know, that, when the house is requiring reform, it can only be done effectively by building consensus, and we build the consensus first, then we bring it to the chamber. this chamber is never, i'm afraid, where we build consensus. and surely it is apparent that the leader already that, even if the house votes to count —— constitute the select committee today, then the prospects of achieving consensus in that select committee now are as remote as they would be in the chamber today. the way in which the government is going about this, i'm afraid, is self—defeating. about this, i'm afraid, is self-defeating.- about this, i'm afraid, is self-defeating. about this, i'm afraid, is self-defeatina. ., .,

therefore be more optimistic about the ability to have a committee that could come to consensus. i will give way to the honourable gentleman.- consensus. i will give way to the honourable gentleman.

conclusion. my honourable friend asked him why the house should not just come to a conclusion on paid advocacy, which we are clear is against the rules, and he said that was a matter for the against the rules, and he said that was a matterfor the new against the rules, and he said that was a matter for the new committee to consider. the old committee, including lay members, has already considered it and come to its independent conclusion. why does he think the new committee is somehow better than the old committee, and does he not realise that this just looks to everyone as if he simply

the recommendation that the conservative mp owen paterson should be suspended for a matter of a few weeks because of breaching lobbying rules, but a lot of protests about that process. jacob rees—mogg for the conservatives there making the point at the beginning that i'm not here tojudge owen paterson, i'm here to ask whether the process is fair, and in essence, that is what is being debated this afternoon, the process and whether there should be another committee set up. it is controversial and you will have picked up already on some element of party political divide around this and there is the person in question, owen paterson, the north shropshire mp. we will be back in the comments in the next few minutes and our political correspondent is listening across to that and we will keep an eye on that, but with the time at 2:27 pm we will take a look at a few other stories making the news this afternoon. let's start with a complaint by the scottish health secretary about a nursery in dundee has been upheld today by the care inspectorate. humza yousaf and his wife complained over concerns that their daughter was discriminated against. let's get more from our scotland correspondent catriona renton. people watching might remember some elements of the story but remind us what the complaint was and what has happened today. when nadia applied for a place for their two—year—old daughter at the little scholars nursery in dundee she said she was told by the nursery that they had no availability. but the family said that applications made by theirfamily and friends who had white scottish sounding names, they were accepted. at the time in august humza yousef said he wanted answers as to why three muslim sounding families were rejected and in some cases less than 24 rejected and in some cases less than 2a hours later, white scottish families were accepted. he called for an investigation into this by the care inspectorate and they have reported back today and they said that they have upheld the complaint in relation to this matter and said that they found that the service provided by the nursery in dundee did not promote fairness and equality and respect when offering placements and they did say everest child in scotland has the right to good quality care and respect their rights and say they have identified areas and say if they are not satisfied that the requirements have not been met then they will not hesitate to take further action. of course we have contacted the nursery for comment and we are still waiting for comment and we are still waiting for that but at the time they strenuously denied any allegations of discrimination taking place at the nursery. perhaps more on that later in the day. thank you for that. a philosophy professor at the university of sussex who resigned after process which labelled her as trans— phobic assays she had no regrets about speaking her mind. this is professor kathleen stock who has been talking to radio 4 and says she has already made it clear that trans people deserve respect and protection. she has been speaking on women's hour, and let's hear some of that interview. women's hour, and let's hear some of that interview— that interview. what did you say when ou that interview. what did you say when you are — that interview. what did you say when you are last _ that interview. what did you say when you are last on _ that interview. what did you say when you are last on campus i that interview. what did you say i when you are last on campus which led to you having issues with regards to your security. let's speak to our education editor branwenjeffries. what else did she say7 well, kathleen stock said she felt that her views had been radically misrepresented to students by a small group of colleagues and that people had been given the impression that she was bigoted, that she was transphobe vic. she said that she knew her views were controversial. she was very happy to debate them with people but she didn't feel that they should be closing down debate on university campuses. and that it was herjob as a professor of philosophy to challenge ideas, to debate them and to discuss them and doing so event is incredibly sensitive and hysterical area of discourse had been a defining moment in her life. —— sensitive and difficult area. i mean, universities are meant to be a place of debates and one is one of the things that happened in the three in four years than this. the ultimate resignation, how does it all fit into this continuing discussion about freedom of speech and about the way people are allowed to debate university7 it is worth saying thing universe itself has recently come out publicly with its vice chancellor saying they vigorously and unequivocally defend kathleen stock's right to academic future but you're right, it is part of a much broader debate —— the university. although she is felt that she welcomed that recent intervention and had previously been an embarrassment to the university she wants vice chancellors to speak out much more publicly about the right to academic freedom and freedom of thought. it is a legal duty at universities already have to protect that but there is also at the moment a draft law making its way through parliament which will strengthen that legal obligation on universities and also give individuals who feel their right to speak freely on a university campus has not been upheld the possibility of suing as an individual university that they feel has breached their rights. then are now on this topic, thank you very much. thank you, that was our education editor following on from to be given this morning on radio four. timing of 25 to three. just looking down, the debate very much continuing, as you'd expect from in the comments. let's return there and that is the debate around owen paterson, the north shropshire conservative mp, the findings against him on whether the process was fair. is what this man the tory jacob rees mogg says under is a discussion here and there will be a vote of the debate. let's take a little bit more from the comments. judgejury and judge jury and executioner in this case. it is time limited... recommending improvements to the standard system that has to consider. along the committee's work it is entirely possible that a reform process including any appeal mechanism may conclude that this initial report and sanction is entirely correct. this complex case still demands proper consideration in the select committee in no way would predetermine that. i will

having impartial investigations into misconduct. the standard system stands in contrast to the independent complaints and grievances scheme which has an appeal panel chaired by a high court judge for the very reason that all parties refer to the scheme must have total faith in it. parties refer to the scheme must have totalfaith in it. this has been absolutely essential in achieving positive culture change in this house precisely because of its rigorous judicial processes, transparency of operation and evident commitment to natural justice and the right to appeal. the house should be proud of the icgs system and it owes a debt to my right honourable friend the member for south northamptonshire its establishment. it is clear that we can learn many lessons from its operation and i have encourage the select committee to look to the icgs system with its benefits of a judicial experience as an example of how a process of independent adjudication can be set up effectively. to speaker, in summary, i was expecting a here, here for that, but i am coming to my conclusion. a fact that has been highlighted by members across the house in this particular case and others, there are concerns. i think is right that this be paused until our standards at system can be reviewed. therefore i will support the amendment so the committee can consider whether members should have the same or similar rights to members accused of misconduct in other workplaces, including examination of witnesses and appeal. whether this case should continue through any reformed system recommended by the new committee. members must active when we see a situation arise that we do not believe it to be compatible with the prince was of naturaljustice. —— must act. —— the process of natural justice. how can one not consider the sorrow my right honourable friend has suffered when considering this report? the suicide of his wife is any punishment than any house of commons committee could inflict. as we all know, the quality of mercy is not strained. it drops as a gentle rain from heaven upon the place beneath. it is twice blessed. it blesses him that gives and him that takes. it is in this way the house should consider this case understand is more widely. this system must providejustice, tempered by mercy, for mercy is essential to justice. the question is the motion on standards— the question

team, not only for their diligent work in carrying out this inquiry, but for all the other work they do to actively promote high standards across this house. across this house. i would like to thank my honourable friend for the wonder who is the committee chair and all the other committee members who contributed to this thorough investigation. mr speaker, since 1695 there have been rules on paid advocacy in motion passed on the 2nd of may 1695 and a quote said the offer of any money or any advantage to any member of parliament for the promotion of any matter whatsoever in parliament is a high crime and misdemeanour. and mr speaker, if today at the amendment passes or if the motion falls entirely, it sends the motion falls entirely, it sends the message that when we do not like the message that when we do not like the rules, wejust break the message that when we do not like the rules, we just break the the message that when we do not like the rules, wejust break the rules. when someone breaks the rules, we just change the rules. to paraphrase the deputy leader of the labour party who said that better than me earlier today, party who said that better than me earliertoday, it party who said that better than me earlier today, it turns the clock back to before 1695. mr speaker, that was not acceptable then and is not now. i that was not acceptable then and is not now. . ~ , that

that point. it is hard to work out why this is happening and i willjust skip ahead actually to a later point in my speech. mr speaker, the leader of the house as you know stand up in front of us every week. if you wanted a debate on changing the rules, he has had that opportunity every single week and i'm yet to hear him set until today when we are considering a case. and in this case, the committee concluded on use their words, this was an egregious pace of paid advocacy that the right honourable memberfor pace of paid advocacy that the right honourable member for pay pers pace of paid advocacy that the right honourable memberfor pay pers north shropshire. and he has brought the house into disrepute. mr speaker, a lot has been said in the media about the standards process over the last week, but since 1695, this house has only ever strengthen the system. the house of commons library and the appendix to the code of conduct can provide a timeline and to detail is opposite who seeks to be interested. but the introduction of a house of commons standards commissioner in 1995, the individual standards committee in 2013, there are key features of strengthening the system. it has worked well, it has gone a long way to restoring public trust in this house, it is vital that the integrity of the standard system is maintained will stop in fact, the committee on standards in public life recommended just this week that the system needs to be strengthened. not we but no, mps opposite want to seem to wrap up the entire system. our committees, cross party, carry up their inquiries independently of this house and that must continue to be the case. because all of us are expected under the code of conduct to adhere to the ethical standards of the seven principles of public life and it seems to me that some members opposite need a reminder of the selflessness, integrity, accountability, openness, honesty and leadership. that expectation is good for us all. if someone in the space for short, there has to be a system in place to hold mps and other public official to account. it is our standard system, it is a standard system that our parliament voted on and approved and just changing the system when somebody does not like the result is not acceptable. if the government wishes to debate the merits of the standard system, as i said, the leader of the house can get up tomorrow and schedule time to do so. members opposite who have signed the amendment, some are chairs of house committees that have roles in which they could have initiated reviews or made proposals. they did not. today, they hate to have to remind the right gentleman, there is a motion thatis right gentleman, there is a motion that is about to report and recommendations. it is absolutely in order for recommendations. it is absolutely in orderfor members to recommendations. it is absolutely in order for members to put on an amendment and it is astonishing the government has endorsed it. tory mps have shamefully been backed by their own government, hijacking this debate, which should have been about endorsing a committee report. but government is sending the message that paid advocacy, mps are selling their offices, their position is elected representative, that it is fine to do that. and i'm afraid that some, including members opposite, are claiming this is a process without an appeal. but mr speaker, the commissioner reviews the cases, makes recommendations and prefer these to the standards committee which is cross—party. majority of members from the opposite benches, as well as at labour mps, they decide whether to approve these are not and we then debate and vote on them. as i understand it, correct me if i'm wrong, the right honourable gentleman had access to legal representation, and as at some mcaleese had pointed out, if everybody he wanted to give oral evidence to a court of law was just accepted, whether that get us? is that really what we're saying, they should be a system if i want to give evidence it means i get to see what i like? speaker, the committee process is in effect a process of appeal. the committee upheld the commissioner's report and recommendations and so must this house. forthe recommendations and so must this house. for the public to maintain their trust in us it is crucial that our independent standard procedure is not undermined or worse still, systematically dismantled altogether, which i fear is happening now. they ask the leader, is that what he wants his political legacy to be? and mining parliament7 our mps even further? does he understand fully the potential consequences of doing this? shmatko standards are important, they matter, the commissioner and they matter, the commissioner and the committee took very careful consideration of a large amount of evidence, it took a long time to read and i suspect there are some members who did not read it. they recommended the sanction on the motion before us it would be extraordinary for this house to overturn this independent, cross—party recommendation. i hate to remind the right honourable gentleman butjust last month gentleman but just last month members gentleman butjust last month members opposite said they couldn't possibly support retrospective rule change. and yet here we are. in the middle of a case, tory mps and yes i am going to state that, there are early tory mps on this amendment, thatis early tory mps on this amendment, that is trying to change the rules. it is a serious case of paid advocacy against rules that are clearly set out. publicly expect us to abide by those rules. we must vote to do so today. we cannot have a return to, yes, tory sleaze of the 19905. a return to, yes, tory sleaze of the 1990s. members and the public will remember cash for questions. they will remember those tory scandals of the 1990s, and mr speaker, this tory delusion of a standard procedure sends a terrible message, a terrible message to the public, to our constituents, that it is one rule for certain mps and another for everyone else. the enduring damage that this would do to parliament's reputation is something that none of us should be prepared to consider. sir peter bottomley. i us should be prepared to consider. sir peter bottomley.— sir peter bottomley. i don't think an one sir

i would vote for it. had the second amendment being called i would vote for it. i won't vote for the first amendment. i was on the standards committee up to 2003, but i withdrew on a point of practice rather than principle that the house, the speaker and the then labour government had not supported us, i'm not going to change my practice now. i am one of the people, probably like most in this house who have read the full report. i have read what the chief vet said about the milk allegation, about what my right honourable friend said, and i have sympathy for what happened in his life. i recognise that the involvement of randox at aintree, and his wife as i role at training to be close to the business and much of what is it was uncontested by the commissioner and the standards committee. the issue is whether it would have been done better as was indicated by my right honourable friend the primer is the employment is questions to have said that he held one view, the commission and committee held another, he now recognises that what they felt was reasonable, and he is sorry to have had a view that has caused this upset, and the difficulty is sorry to have had a view that has caused this upset, and the difficulties to all of us. i still hope that what i in that situation i would have a sense, basically, to accept that there are views other than my own and i should not see things always with my own justification but rather than see them the way people outside this house and some insight would see them. as for a decision on whether the contents of my right honourable friend for south northamptonshire cosmic amendment is correct i recognise that what the member for harrogate said, about the 2003 recommendation of the committee on standards in public life is worth looking at, but that was 18 years ago, and this is a serious problem, should have been brought by then, orchestrated by the house all by senior members during the last 18 years. i am senior members during the last 18 years. iam happy senior members during the last 18 years. i am happy to bring it forward now is a way of changing what should be a normal process of upholding the standards committee's endorsement of the parliamentary standards commissioner is advised that the committee. secondly, referred to the debate in 2010, when jack straw was a secretary, and i contributed as well, we chose the system we are now using. if we want to consider changing it, to do it in a proper way, to consider changing it, to do it in a properway, i to consider changing it, to do it in a proper way, i don't regard this as appropriate now. taste a proper way, i don't regard this as appropriate now— a proper way, i don't regard this as appropriate now. we come to the snp spokesperson —

about how we take forward processes and business such as this and it would be good if the leader of the house of lords to listen to his very straightforward comments about what is going on today. when i was first told about this i thought it was some sort of joke. i thought we cannot possibly be serious. i expect maybe to come to a debate and it would be the usual suspects speaking on behalf of one of their pals, but not today. not today. today, we have the full force of the government whipping operation for in conservative members of parliament through this house to overturn the decision of the standards committee, and to introduce a new way of how we look and examine breaches of the rules in this house. it was almost outrageous in its suggestion. when this result was reached about his conduct he criticised, heavily can criticise the process of getting there. particularly she said there wasn't a right to appeal and there wasn't a right to appeal and there wasn't a right to appeal and there wasn't a vital witnesses who he said would have spoken in his defence and they weren't spoken to so he has very strongly put that forward. number of conservative mps are very sympathetic to him and decided to try and change the way that this is done, to use this as a way of changing disciplinary system that parliament has and then the government has swung behind that this morning, so it has become not a debate about whether or not this sanction should be applied, it's become a debate about the whole parliamentary disciplinary system the argument the government is using that we had jacob rees—mogg outline there is that of his nature to do of there is that of his nature to do of the back of this particular case is that he had a huge number of complaints about it. it was, as he put it, the straw that broke the camels back. that is why they are choosing to attach this idea to try and change the process to this particular case. on the other side of the other and we are hearing from labour and other opposition members that frankly to put caroline lucas, the green mp, looks bad. it looks like a labour say, we have a outcome coming out of the conservatives don't like it have been trying to if you break the rules we remake the rules i think was a phase that the said there so the argument coming on the other side is that there are plenty of other ways if you want to look at how this disciplinary system works. there are plenty of other ways you can do that without attaching it to this particular case. and it is interesting and worth pointing out, i think, that the conservative side have made the point a few times through this that actually this wouldn't necessarily mean that it has fulfilled the suspension. what it would do is put on hold and on the select committee would look at the case of seeing if he would be allowed an appeal and there is no question... it has become this wider debate about the whole disciplinary process and there's a lot of discomfort amongst conservative mps as well that they have chosen to try and attach this reform to an individual case. studio: getting noisy when you are because there should be a debate in the next hour? yes, this debate was scheduled for an hour and a half. you have a motion putting the debate to the house and there results amendments we will have to see what all the various votes are for. studio: back with you after three. helen kat listen to that debate in the house of commons. much woman act and what is coming out of cop26 a climate meeting in glasgow after three o'clock. right now we're just going to pause and take a look at the weather prospects ben rich. after a mild october the 1st few days of november have got a real cool down. right now we find ourselves in the grip of this northerly wind feeding cold air in a direction and it is also bringing the showers. the shells of the last few hours of really focusing over the western side of well and it is also bringing the showers. the shells of the last few hours of really focusing over the western side of well done england and more generally around these north facing coasts of scotland and northern ireland we are seeing some showers which will continue through the afternoon. some spells of sunshine elsewhere, they generally quite a lot of cloud across central and eastern parts of england and quite a chilly feel, 9—13 . and eastern parts of england and quite a chilly feel, 9—13. and through this evening at a night shows continue to feed down from the north, particularly affecting coastal areas. some of the show is wintry of the high ground in northern scotland, where we do see some clear skies it will be another chilly night. the coldest conditions likely to be across the northern half of the uk and the start of tomorrow morning with a touch of frost in places and some good spells of sunshine and if anything fewer shares than we have today. still some further west wales, far south—west of england, about what i'm affecting eastern england but then more in the way of dry weather, some spells of sunshine that ability feel, just 7—11 and more cloud feeding to the north west later with some outbreaks of rain and that of the kind of weather that takes us into friday because of on the top of the soviet fifa are going to be bringing in a feed of cloud, cloudy skies most places on friday. best chance of any sun sign across eastern areas, some patchy rain particularly in north—west scotland but with the wind is coming in from the west a different feel to the weather, 12—13 . a much the west a different feel to the weather, 12—13. a much milder night on friday night, a lot of cloud of unfunny fireworks displays. as you move into the weekend, well, we keep this westerly wind that will continue to feed milder air i will way some things will feel very different by saturday. much of england and wales will be largely dry, best of any sunshine in these, band of rain since its way southwards and it will be quite windy. 12—14 feeling quite mild and we stick with that with more in the way by whether by then. this is bbc news. the headlines. the chancellor rishi sunak promises to

news. large uk firms and financial institutions will be required to show how they intend to hit climate change targets, under new rules proposed by the treasury. on the fourth day of the cop26 conference in glasgow, the government said businesses will have until 2023 to set out plans for how they will move to a low carbon future. but any commitments will not be mandatory. the chancellor rishi sunak told the conference that the world's 20 biggest economies would move to provide 100 billion dollars of climate finance to developing countries, a target that was set in 2015. from glasgow, here's victoria gill. after a flurry of early deals on deforestation, methane and cleaning up steel production, today cop 26 is all about the money. the chancellor rishi sunak said the global financial sector would be rewired to help meet our climate goals, and the uk would play a leading role. we are going to move towards making it mandatory for firms to publish a clear deliverable plan setting out how they will decarbonise and transition to net zero with an independent task was to reach what is required. globally, a50 firms that collectively control about £95 trillion worth of assets have now pledged to clean up their investments. the aim is to channel as much money as possible towards the goal of limiting global temperature rise to 1.5 celsius. make no mistake, the money is here if the world wants to use it. finance is no longer a mirror that reflects a world that is not doing enough, it is becoming a window through which ambitious climate action can deliver the sustainable future that people all over the world are demanding. it will help end of the tragedy on the horizon. amid all this talk today of trillions of pounds of investment, developing nations here at cop26 are still waiting for the delivery of a much more modest financial promise that was made to them more than a decade ago. the richest countries promised that, by 2020, they would provide 100 billion us dollars every year to the poorest, most vulnerable countries. those that are suffering the most in the face of climate change. that financial promise will now not be fulfilled until 2023. that money is necessary to help developing countries adapt to the impact of climate change they are already experiencing daily, but also to transition to the greener parts of the low carbon economy so they do not repeat the high carbon and high emitting pathway that developed countries have followed. in what has been called the decisive decade for climate action, there's very little room to miss these deadlines. victoria gill, bbc news, glasgow. our economics correspondent andy verity says that despite the targets set for big business on climate change, green groups are still unhappy. they say it does not go far enough, and they are always going to say that but if we look at the commitments being extracted from businesses here, the treasury is saying it will bring in new rules that say, as we mentioned, that they will produce these plans by the end of 2023 and there will be an expert panel that will monitor the standards of those plans, in other words whether they are credible and not just words whether they are credible and notjust spin, but how do they enact those plans is another question. they have 29 years until 2050 where they have to somehow get themselves to net zero and yet at the same time we don't have any plans to disinvest in fossil fuels so we had mark carney saying we had $130,000,000,000,000 of financing. what does it mean when we start talking about trillions7 the whole world, everything it produces, global gdp, it's about 85,000,000,000,000, so it's considerably more than that but it is spread over 30 years and when we are talking about finance, sometimes we only talk about loans and the other thing is that the banks involved, including with mister carney�*s initiative, pushed back on a stronger initiative that would have required them to disinvest in fossil fuels are not investing any new fossil fuel projects from now on. we are not even going that far, so a lot of green groups will say this is big talk but the plans are wide not very deep.— this is big talk but the plans are wide not very deep. let's stay on that theme _ wide not very deep. let's stay on that theme and _ wide not very deep. let's stay on that theme and get _ wide not very deep. let's stay on that theme and get more - wide not very deep. let's stay on | that theme and get more reaction wide not very deep. let's stay on i that theme and get more reaction to the pledges that we heard in glasgow, in particular what rishi sunak, the chancellor, has been talking about in terms of business and pledges to developing countries. let's ask someone very much steeped in this field. i'm joined by david miliband, ceo of the international rescue committee, and former foreign secretary. good afternoon. your thoughts first of all on the big pledges that we have heard there. $100,000,000,000 of climate finance to go to developing countries. your take on that. ,., ., ., ., ., developing countries. your take on that. ., ., �*, that. good afternoon, and it's good to be with you- _ that. good afternoon, and it's good to be with you. we _ that. good afternoon, and it's good to be with you. we have _ that. good afternoon, and it's good to be with you. we have not - that. good afternoon, and it's good to be with you. we have not yet i that. good afternoon, and it's good to be with you. we have not yet hit| to be with you. we have not yet hit the $100,000,000,000 a year commitment of public money to developing countries to help them navigate the climate crisis. it is important that the private sector is stepping up alongside. climate change is notjust an environmental issue, it's an economic issue, and the truth is it will cost more to live with the climate crisis than to mitigate and fight the climate crisis. this money being pledged by the private sector today needs to go into the clean energy development that some of your interviewees have referenced in the preceding package, and i would say at this stage of the climate conference in glasgow, the glasses one quarter full and there is a lot of work to be done over the next ten days or so.— next ten days or so. what of the fact that previous _ next ten days or so. what of the fact that previous targets - next ten days or so. what of the fact that previous targets still i fact that previous targets still have not been met? people will be listening to these great pronouncements today and ask why we should believe it. the money has not come through from the last set of pledges, so why is this even going to happen?— to happen? exactly, and that is the ke oint. to happen? exactly, and that is the key point- the _ to happen? exactly, and that is the key point. the targets _ to happen? exactly, and that is the key point. the targets are - to happen? exactly, and that is the key point. the targets are cheap, i key point. the targets are cheap, words are cheap and it is action thatis words are cheap and it is action that is essential and there is great anger in the communities that we working that the most climate vulnerable in the world, 1a are suffering from armed conflict and what people are saying on the ground is resource scarcity, water scarcity and conflict over resources with all of the humanitarian crisis that follows i'm a clock has been taking for many years while the richest parts of the world have continued to live as if we had three planets rather than one and it is way past the time for action and that is why the time for action and that is why the next ten days or so important and diplomacy cannot stop because the leaders have left and detail is going to matter so that even in respect of the commitment by the chancellor of the exchequer today for the uk to be a green finance capital, it's not going to be legally binding in respect of the companies listed on the stock exchange and that will be key and i would also make the point that alongside the commitment that there should be more mitigation for climate change, $500,000,000,000 per year goes into the fossil fuel industry in subsidies and into damaging agricultural practices so we need to work on both ends and stop incentivising bad things and start investing in a cleaner future which is essential notjust for the environment and the environment. people say that we hear what you are saying, but with no disrespect, a lot of what you have said there, we have been hearing and discussing for years, so how do we get away from that in some it's like this, unfortunately, they can be seen and portrayed as a talking shop, so how do we get some action? the portrayed as a talking shop, so how do we get some action?— do we get some action? the way to net action do we get some action? the way to get action is _ do we get some action? the way to get action is to _ do we get some action? the way to get action is to take _ do we get some action? the way to get action is to take action - do we get some action? the way to get action is to take action and i do we get some action? the way to get action is to take action and forl get action is to take action and for far too long countries have been saying, after you. the truth is there is money to be made in adapting to a world of 1.5 c rise, and the early movers will be the winner and you can see this in the chinese way that they are dominating the solar market. i think it's very significant that the eu should have set out their 13 steps to a net zero future and it is the most detailed plan that exists around the world at the moment and they need to get on with it and it's all about leadership now because too many countries are still saying they have to wait for someone else to do that. i work in the us at the moment and it holds back action. those who are ready to move need to move because time is going by and the cynicism and anger that exists is well—founded. and anger that exists is well-founded.- and anger that exists is well-founded. ~ ., , well-founded. we have been running re orts well-founded. we have been running reports today — well-founded. we have been running reports today from _ well-founded. we have been running reports today from madagascar, i reports today from madagascar, making the point that the famine affecting the population is a direct result of climate change, not because of conflict, which we might traditionally associate. it's because of climate change. what sort of work does your organisation do and to what extent is all the work that your organisation does more and more about climate change as much as conflict7 more about climate change as much as conflict? . �* , . more about climate change as much as conflict? ., �* , ., ., ., ,., conflict? that's a good point. in the 20 countries _ conflict? that's a good point. in the 20 countries are _ conflict? that's a good point. in the 20 countries are greatest i the 20 countries are greatest humanitarian crisis this year, 2021, there are three big drivers of humanitarian need with about 240,000,000. there is conflict, and those are the big drivers of humanitarian need. the climate crisis does not directly drive displacement of people by drought, and extreme weather events, it also contributes to the resources effort so it's an indirect and direct drive of displacement on the work we do is to help communities adapt to crime 7 climate change and build resilience for a more resilient response to a hotter and less stable well so this is why there was a false distinction between a humanitarian effort cleaning up the mess and a development effort trying to prepare for success. that is a false distinction and we need to do both. help communities adapt but we have to build greater resilience by cutting our dependence on carbon and the truth is that the technologies exist to help countries get richer without polluting the atmosphere and thatis without polluting the atmosphere and that is what we need to incentivise. david miliband, for now, thank you very much. let's stay with that. i'm joined by sonja gibbs, managing director and head of sustainable finance, global policy initiatives at the institute of international finance. clearly you are in glasgow, and thank you for listening to all of this and i hope you could hear david miliband who in essence was saying it is the time for action. pledges are great, but it is time for action and the private sector has a role to play in this. and the private sector has a role to play in this-— and the private sector has a role to play in this. absolutely. heard loud and clear, play in this. absolutely. heard loud and clear. and _

being the morally right thing to do, there is money to be made from reducing carbon emissions and living life in a better way that does not cause famine. is that message genuinely being heard, do you think. i famine. is that message genuinely being heard, do you think.- being heard, do you think. i would make 2-0- — being heard, do you think. i would make 2-0- to _ being heard, do you think. i

tremendous difference and with the race to net zero and the push to decarbonise and scale up climate finance, that is integral and it's notjust about combating climate risk, it's about capitalising on the opportunities which is why this work with the task force for scaling voluntary carbon markets and the new governance body of this is so important. you markets and the new governance body of this

want to do what i can, what is that body doing to play its part? br; body doing to play its part? el: scaling up markets and let body doing to play its part? by scaling up markets and let market mechanisms work you do three key things. one is to enable the trading of high quality carbon credits in order to reduce emissions and enable companies to meet their net zero goals by buying carbon credits and setting it against their emissions. the other is to enable pricing of carbon and what the value is offsetting a ton of carbon emissions and the third is to scale climate flows to developing economies because so many projects that take emissions out of the atmosphere are located in emerging economies so by building these markets we help protect natural capital, we protect biodiversity and we help scale those necessary climate flows to emerging economies. bud necessary climate flows to emerging economies. �* .., necessary climate flows to emerging economies. . .. .,

easy. but at the same time you make this happen to an urgent timeframe, as you mentioned, you need to ensure that everything being done to scale up these markets is of the highest possible quality to ensure that every carbon credit trading adheres to these core carbon principles that the governance body is setting up. we believe both of those things can be done because the expertise that has been brought together to form this governance body is tremendous. you know, so it's a tremendous amount of effort, goodwill, integrity in putting all of this together to scale these voluntary carbon markets. for together to scale these voluntary carbon markets.— together to scale these voluntary carbon markets. for now, thank you for our carbon markets. for now, thank you for yourtime- _ carbon

thank you for your time. we must pull away i for your time. we must pull away from glasgow because let's just head back to the house of commons and that quite impassioned debate we have seen in the last hour and a quarter and let hear chris bryant because he is chair of the standards committee. let's listen again. circumstances fully into account in considering his conduct. i want to address the charges, processes, sanctions and amendment. the charges are very serious. the member repeatedly over a sustained period lobbied officials and ministers on behalf of his paying clients, ran and lynn's foods from who he was receiving over £9,000 a month as he still is. he pursued their commercial interests when they could not get meetings with officials and ministers he used his privileged position as a member of parliament to secure them, providing privileged access is a valuable service. he promoted what he called randox's superior technology. we wanted the government to use randox's calibration system. he repeatedly uses taxpayer funded parliamentary office for commercial meetings. this is paid lobbying. in some shape or form it has been banned since 1695 and especially so since cash for questions, brought which this house into terrible disrepute in the 19905. into terrible disrepute in the 1990s. one conservative member described it to me as a catalogue of bad behaviour. i have yet to meet a conservative mp who has not said to me he clearly broke the rules. i think that includes the leader of the house. he said that he was raising serious roles but he did not say so at the time. if these were truly serious you might have expected him to write articles or do interviews in the media, as he was perfectly entitled to do. he did not. he did the one thing he was banned from doing, lobby ministers, time and again, in a way that confirmed the direct benefit on his paying clients, that is expressly forbidden. it is a corrupt practice. on the process, he has had a fair hearing. we had legal advice from speaker's council throughout, and as one former high courtjudge said to me yesterday, the procedure is consistent with naturaljustice and similar or identical to workplaces up similar or identical to workplaces up and down the country. we are in the committee spent many hours reviewing the evidence in this case without fear or favour. reviewing the evidence in this case without fear orfavour. he had prior notice of the charges and the evidence against him at every stage. he had his legal advisers with him. the committee invited him to make his appeal against the commissioner's findings in writing and in person, and i hope he would confirm that we gave him every opportunity to make his case to us and that the session was conducted respectfully and fairly. i think he is nodding. he says his witnesses should have been interviewed. naturaljustice requires that witnesses be heard, but that does not necessarily mean that they have to be heard orally or cross—examined. we did what many courts and tribunals do every day of the week. we reviewed all of the witness statements, took them into consideration and publish them in full. he claims that the commissioner had made up her mind before she sent a memorandum. this is completely to misunderstand the process. as she has done in every other case, she started an investigation. she invited the member to meet with her, and all to submit evidence. once she had completed their investigation and once she had, by definition, found once she had, by definition, found on a preliminary basis that there had been a breach of the rules, she submitted a memorandum to the member for his comments and then to us. this is when we heard his appeal. in writing and in person. this action. as we say in the report, each of mr paterson's several instances of paid advocacy would merit a suspension of several days but the fact that he has repeatedly failed to perceive his conflict of interest and used his conflict of interest and used his privileged position as a member of parliament to secure benefits for two companies for whom he was a paid consultant is even more concerning. he has brought the house into disrepute. a conservative colleague, whom i respect, a great deal, said to me on monday, thatjustice should always be tempered by mercy. i agree. but, justice also demands no special favours. agree. but, justice also demands no specialfavours. these agree. but, justice also demands no special favours. these are the precedents that we considered. patrick mercer was suspended for six months. ian paisley, sorry, i've forgotten his constituency, for 30 days, jonathan syed, 14 days, george galloway, 18 days, when geoffrey robinson failed to provide proper responses to the commissioner hahn committee was suspended for a month. these are the precedents. this case is just as serious because it involved at least 14 instances. it was a pattern of behaviour. and the member has said, time and again, over the last week, that he would do the same again tomorrow. so, if the house were to vote down or watered down the sanction or carry the amendment, it would be endorsing his action. we would be dismantling the rule and paid advocacy, which has been around in some shape or form since 1695. i'm afraid the public would think that we would be the parliament that licensed cash for questions. let me turn to the amendment. the right honourable lady now is that i have worked with her on many things. i think she is very wrong today. it is the very definition of injustice that one should change the rules for the process at the very last moment, and to do so for a named individual, which is what the amendment does today. retrospective legislation to favour or damage and individual because they are a friend or a foe is a moral, and the polar opposite of the rule of law. that is why, as the leader knows, i spoke and voted with conservative members when we were considering a retrospective mission to subject the member for delyn to recall position and the amendment today should fail on that basis alone, it is the opposite of judge —— the opposite of due process. it purports to set up an appeal process, but an appellate body has to be independent. every single member of this body will be party pre—, by definition. they will have been whipped today and will have been whipped today and will have taken a view today. they will almost certainly have voted. by agreeing to his name being put forward, the chairman, the proposed chairman, is already not independent. i point out very gently to the right honourable member who moved the amendment that it was her mission as leader of the house on 7th ofjanuary 2019 mission as leader of the house on 7th of january 2019 that set up the standards committee in its present form. she said, then, that a greater element of independence was required and having seven lay members and seven parliamentary members on the standards committee provides the right balance having the memory and corporate understanding of being in this place whilst at the same time ensuring that we can benefit from the experience and knowledge of independent lay members. yet the body she proposes today will have no independent members, no independence. i won't, independent members, no independence. iwon't, she independent members, no independence. i won't, she doesn't mind. she must know that this is a retrograde step. she also said then, and i would say this strongly to all honourable members who have said many things about the parliamentary commissioner, she said then, ensuring that the commissioner can operate independently is vital, and will better enable justice for those seeking the course. i also think that this amendment would drive a coach and horses through our standard system. it will mean that we have two rival so committees on standards at the same time, charged with the same piece of business. as many members may now, the standards committee at the moment is engaged in a review of the code of conduct as we are required to do in every parliament and that will include review of the operation of the system. i am absolutely certain that there are things that we could do better. i am determined to make sure that we will do things better, to ensure naturaljustice, and i hope, i am not going to give way to him if he doesn't mind, i want to conclude my remarks, i'm sorry. he has already caught mr speaker's i. we are close, as i said, to agreeing a report on how we can improve the system. i would also say, this process that is being suggested keeps this running for yet more months. i agree with the leader of the house. i hate investigations that take a long time. i would very gently point out however, and the commissioner was right, i think, to suspend our investigation, after the honourable member's wife's death, and it was only once his lawyer said that it was an —— ok to start again that it was an —— ok to start again that she initiated again. all the delays, all the delays in the process have been down to the right honourable member seeking further extensions and deadlines, and we have always sought to meet those. i think it is inappropriate to keep this going any further. i would also draw a distinction between an appeal on the facts, which we have heard, and an appeal on the sanction. it may be right that there should be an appeal process on the sanction. that isn't a process that we have adopted with any other member thus far, and thatis with any other member thus far, and that is why i think it's wrong to confuse today, changing the process with the case in hand. it is as i said earlier, by definition, wrong to change the process at the very last moment. we also say, in our report, a member is entitled to contest, even vigorously contest, the commissioner's interpretation of the commissioner's interpretation of the rules and findings. we do not mark down any member for doing so. the aggravating factor in this case was a lack of insight into a conflict of interest, not lack of acceptance of breach. and i would say this to the member. this could have been very different. if you had come to us, and said, i'm sorry, i was trying to do the right thing, but i got it wrong. i want the house to uphold the highest standards, and i accept a reprimand and the sanction. i hope my constituents will deal kindly with me. the danger is, if this amendment is carried today, his name will become a byword for bad behaviour. and let me end with this. i hope all members know that i care passionately about parliament. the vast majority of members are here to do good. we make significant sacrifices as our partners now. we make a big difference often on campaigns that have no party issue in them and i hope the house will support my acquired brain injury bill on the 3rd of december. i think that was unanimous! but if the public believe that we are marking our own homework, our reputation individually and collectively will be tarnished. and independence is essential to protect us. i conservative mp said to me yesterday, there have been times when i have been ashamed of being a member of this house will stop i don't want to go back to that. of course, i, as general of the committee, remain a servant of the house, but i also have to look at the public —— chairman of the committee. they want to pop —— the house to uphold the highest possible standards. nobody can be above the rules. it is the public who should judge this. and ifear that rules. it is the public who should judge this. and i fear that they will find is all one thing if the amendment is carried today. i warned colleagues, with all my heart, don't do something today that we will rue in the future. lam now i am now going to ask andrea leadsom if she _ i am now going to ask andrea leadsom if she was— i am now going to ask andrea leadsom if she was to _ i am now going to ask andrea leadsom if she was to move with the amendment. the question is the amendment. the question is the amendment be made. as many as are of that opinion _ amendment be made. as many

had held commercial meetings in his parliamentary office and he had contacted government department in relation to two companies that he was paid to work for as a consultant. now he was investigated by the commission earned her report was by the committee that he heads that chose to endorse its findings and come up with a sanction they wanted to put forward a 30 day suspension from the commons. owen paterson had very, very strongly argued against this and been critical of the process and said that he didn't have a right to appeal and there were lots of witnesses who weren't interviewed. what we had from chris brown was a bottle of that saying the committee did read the written statements of those witnesses and that his committee heard an appeal in person from owen paterson so their recommendation did come forward and this is what mps would have been or are really voting on this afternoon but what has happened since then as there are a lot of conservative mps who are very sympathetic to it when paterson was my position and they had decided that they would put forward and change his vote to looking and examine the whole system of discipline and the weight is policed in the round because the dissatisfaction within the government has one in behind and told tory mps they got to vote for that and the results of about the way that has been done and what the government side has said is that the reason they have chosen to do that now in relation to this particular case is that this case has raised a number of concerns. it was, as chief of the smog put it, the straw that broke the camels back but what we have been hearing from other mps lightly from your position is that, frankly, itjust looks bad to try and change the whole position of the back of an individual case so we had a labour mp saying there are plenty of other ways the government could do this if they wanted to change the system, they didn't need to attach it to this particular case. other people said it was when the consensus needed to change the parliamentary system of the biggest issueis parliamentary system of the biggest issue is how will this looks the public? what will you do if it looks public7 what will you do if it looks like mps are changing the rules when it is the result that they don't like? how does that look outside of the comments? so, of course, downing street and the government would say thatis street and the government would say that is not what they are doing, it is just that they once to make sure that all mps have a bite to a fair hearing this is what we had notjust from mps and there are a conservatives who got up and alan bell one of the conservative mp said it looked like they were moving the goalposts, certainly notjust in the chamber will privately number of conservative mps have said that it just feels just a bit not right to do it this way. studio: and, actually, helen, given that this is about process. i mean, jacob rees—mogg at the beginning, the conservative, he made it very clear is that i am not here to judge owen paterson, we had to ask was the process fair. he was very specific about that at the outset of this debate so people watching this might think if there are concerns about the system and the waiters operating and of appeal and so on, couldn't that not have been discussed and debated down the line? thejudgment is made in one particular mp, he serves the period of time he needs to serve and then let's all sit down and have a conversation about it. that been a possibility that is exactly what they were saying. there were many. — exactly what they were saying. there were many. many — exactly what they were saying. there were many, many of— exactly what they were saying. there were many, many of the _ exactly what they were saying. there were many, many of the ways - exactly what they were saying. ii—iiff were many, many of the ways the current of mps could have chosen to try and have that view. it didn't need to be by changing the motion that was put to parliament this evening because the motion was put to parliament this afternoon was considering the report was deciding whether or not to agree with the report and a sanction for owen paterson, which is then become this much wider discussion about the whole system of that amendment and thatis whole system of that amendment and that is exactly the argument that was being made by opposition mps and if you want to change the system of the people had some concerns about the people had some concerns about the system lets have a chat about it and do it in a different way that actually by attaching it to this life case, as they posit, that is what makes it look, you know, slightly less like that is what you want to do. my connect all right, helen. thanks for now. it might take a few more minutes to put that voting and so we will be back to you as soon as we have the result. the seaker as soon as we have the result. the speaker said _ as soon as we have the result. the speaker said he would allow a little bit longer for that and vote for covid—19 reasons we will be back in the house as soon as we have a decision we will tend other studies today including this one. —— we will turn to other stories we have today. a four—year old girl has been found alive and well, more than two weeks after she went missing in australia. cleo smith disappeared from a tent she was sleeping in with her family on a remote campsite. police found her locked in a house in her home town in western australia. a 36—year—old man is in custody and being questioned by detectives. our sydney correspondent shaima khalil reports. hiya, my name's cameron — how are you? are you doing ok7 we're going to take you to see your mummy and daddy, ok7 this is the moment cleo smith was rescued, found in one of the rooms in a locked house, not far from her family home in the western australian town of carnarvon. alive and well — the news her parents have waited more than two weeks for, and feared they wouldn't hear. one of the officers described the moment they found her as one of shock and elation. i wanted to be absolutely sure it was her, so i said, "what's your name? " and she didn't answer, and i said, "what's your name?" she didn't answer again, so i asked her a third time, and then she looked at me and she said, "my name's cleo." the four—year—old vanished from her family's tent while camping on the western australian coast. it sparked one of the biggest police operations in the area, with extensive air, land, and sea searches. a million—dollar reward was offered for information on her whereabouts. cleo's disappearance gripped australia. from day one, this story captured the nation's heart. now that she's been rescued, so many people took to social media to express theirjoy and relief — including, of course, cleo's mother, ellie smith. she said, "ourfamily is whole again." australia's prime minister scott morrison said this was wonderful, relieving news. this is every parent's worst nightmare, and the fact that that nightmare has come to an end and our worst fears were not realised isjust a huge relief, and a moment for greatjoy. a 36—year—old man is in custody and is being questioned by detectives. more details have yet to emerge about how little cleo disappeared and the events that led to her rescue. but, for now, a family's ordeal is over, and a country's prayers have been answered. shaimaa khalil, bbc news, sydney. nearly 30,000,005 to 11 are built in the us are now eligible for corona virus vaccine at the health officials are to fight a jab for children. it is expected the first races will begin before the end of the week. the us is already offering jobs to people aged 12 and over for vaccinating children against covid—19 has been a divisive issue, as we report. the simple joy of passing time together. it's something the simons value now more than ever. after the whole family came down with covid, nine—year—old mckenna suffered complications which sent her away to the hospital for a week. it was literally our worst nightmare coming true. everybody had said that, you know, kids recover really

following the suspension of the conservative mp owen paterson because of breaking lobbying reviews. while we're waiting for the vote let's just get the thoughts of tim duggan who is associate director at an independent think tank which examines how government works and committing, it really has been a fascinating debate, there are, in the commons. whatever one's opinion of all of this, whichever side you're on, because you can tell how impassioned it was on both sides. i mean, just summarise why this is such an unusual situation, really. well, as ou sa , unusual situation, really. well, as you say. a — unusual situation, really. well, as you say. a lot _ unusual situation, really. well, as you say. a lot of— unusual situation, really. well, as you say, a lot of clearly _ unusual situation, really. well, as you say, a lot of clearly strongly l you say, a lot of clearly strongly felt opinions there in the commons but it is unusual for a couple of reasons. one is because generally when an mp is found to have breached the code of conduct, particularly to such severity as owen paterson has been accused of, the commons to approve that suspension or whatever other sanction the committee recommends so the fact that there is a whole vote and all of this extra process happening is quite unusual, but also the government is using this to effectively say the government and conservative backbenchers, to effectively say we don't read this whole process, we think it should be looked at again and devoted branched examination to understand how this works and how it could be improved and loss of the opposition mps, both labour, snp and others, but then, actually, if you think this is the case, why eating is now at the point when one of your mps has been found to have breached the code and is expected to be suspended? procedurally if people generally have concerns about the process and the lack of right of appeal, for example, i mean, that, as an issue, presumably could have been discussed, debated, challenged a few months down the line. it didn't have to be right now, presumably. fir to be right now, presumably. rees—mogg does now she was a student debate why she had brought these changes fold when she was in that capacity. he said it was because she was very busy, have lots of other things on, obviously was in that bulging the brexit processing parliamentary town was at a premium but, as you say, there are questions about why this is being done now and why the government has rowed in with what strong support for the amendment.— what strong support for the amendment. �* ., , amendment. and the word integrity, trust, amendment. and the word integrity, trust. those — amendment. and the word integrity, trust, those with _

and the word integrity, trust, those with a source of words i trust, those with a source of words that we have heard used over and over the last hour and a half and whichever way the smoke goes that is what concerns some people —— whichever way this vote goes. it is about how the public views and shorts what goes in, what goes on inside the house of commons. absolutely. the whole principle of the parliamentary standards regime is that there is an independent commission who looks into these things and then for the most serious cases like these ones that is locked again by mps and there is absolutely again by mps and there is absolutely a question about whether or not this independent commission of the tender judgment mps don't like at the mps then say actually we don't like the process, is that because they don't like the judgment, process, is that because they don't like thejudgment, is process, is that because they don't like the judgment, is that because theyjust like the judgment, is that because they just don't like the like the judgment, is that because theyjust don't like the conclusion she has reached, i think that is very difficult question for the new committee. what are they going to recommend that is much better than the system we have now because clearly when we have andrea leadsom supporting her amendment and want a new process and something different how they will set that up is very unclear. �* , . ~ how they will set that up is very unclear. �* , ., ,, ., unclear. and when they talk about the committee _ unclear. and when they talk about the

over the last couple of hours. your thoughts on what it all means. 50. couple of hours. your thoughts on what it all means.— what it all means. so, it is a close vote so i think _ what it all means. so, it is a close vote so i think what _ what it all means. so, it is a close vote so i think what we _ what it all means. so, it is a close vote so i think what we have i what it all means. so, it is a close vote so i think what we have to i what it all means. so, it is a close i vote so i think what we have to wait to see now is get that how mps voted, bearing in mind that the government had put their mps and what is known as a three line whip which is the strongest possible instruction to turn up and vote for what the government says you should vote for so they were supposed to vote for so they were supposed to vote for, to vote for this amendment. the numbers dare suggest that a number of them have not done that, so it will be interesting to see if they have, how many of them mixtures are just not to vote at all, to abstain, i think this is reflective of some of the needs to be had seen expressed in the chamber by some conservative mps and a lot of opposition mps also privately by some conservative mps that the way this was good being done, trying to tag onto this to change parliamentary standards to an individual case was uncomfortable for many of them and it didn't look good, it didn't look very good at all so i think it will be interesting to see what the breakdown is when we get that back of how individual mps voted. ffes breakdown is when we get that back of how individual mps voted. yes and for: ive of how individual mps voted. yes and forgive me. — of how individual mps voted. yes and forgive me, helen, _ of how individual mps voted. yes and forgive me, helen, i— of how individual mps voted. yes and forgive me, helen, i don't _ of how individual mps voted. yes and forgive me, helen, i don't have i of how individual mps voted. yes and forgive me, helen, i don't have in i forgive me, helen, i don't have in front of me the precise wording of that amendment in which we were voting but what does that mean in terms of owen paterson who is the mp at the heart of all of this the north yorkshire conservative mp and what this means for him and for the process? what this means for him and for the rocess? ., ., ., ., , process? so, i have to apologise because i don't _ process? so, i have to apologise because i don't have _ process? so, i have to apologise because i don't have the - process? so, i have to apologise because i don't have the exact i because i don't have the exact wording in front of me at this stage but what if activities is to set up a new select committee to examine the current system, the way it works for enforcing and monitoring standards and it would have a conservative majority on it and they would look at the system and that committee would also ensure whether or not owen paterson should have a right of appeal on this and it should go further —— whether or not owen paterson would have a right of appeal. in effect, it would put on hold that suspension without overturning it entirely. it will decide whether there is another report for him and there will be comments later down the line and thatis comments later down the line and that is the theory for them to vote on a 30 day suspension so it is a bit of a temporary book fees for him. the vote bell is ringing again and i willjust explain why because what they have done it devotes to amend the motion, to change the wording to incorporate that provision for setting up a new committee on funding a suspension on hold and now they have to vote again to fast that holm motion so it comes into effect so that is why the result of ringing you can hear because that tells mps have the gun vote so that is the effects.— vote so that is the effects. mullen for keeping _ vote so that is the effects. mullen for keeping going- _ vote so that is the

mullen for keeping going. i know it gets i for keeping going. i know it gets very noisy there was a time like this. in terms of the mp himself, the ruling against him by the standards committee isn't abolished by this, isn't abolished by that vote so everything they heard chris bryant say, the number of times he said there were at least 14 incidents where he was engaged in lobbying that simply shouldn't have happened, that still stands, but he is not immediately suspended, so it is, sulphur, on ice, so the ruling that the standards committee found against him as an individual hasn't gone away as a result of what has happened. gone away as a result of what has ha ened. ., gone away as a result of what has hauened. ., �* gone away as a result of what has ha ened. ., .,, �* ., happened. no, it hasn't. that ruling is still there — happened. no, it hasn't. that ruling is still there and _ happened. no, it hasn't. that ruling is still there and it _ happened. no, it hasn't. that ruling is still there and it is _ happened. no, it hasn't. that ruling is still there and it is about - is still there and it is about putting it on hold for a while. the actual punishment, if you like, the punishment of the 30 day suspension thatis punishment of the 30 day suspension that is on hold by the committee decides whether the need to be looked at again and should be given a right of appeal and as it stands like ruling has not been overturned. that is something conservative mps and government ministers and leader of the house looking to point out doesn't in itself overturn it and the commission was what does it look like and this is what mps have done is not to accept the recommendations of the existing system on this particular case. they say that it looks bad that they had not done that and instead they have decided to put it on home... the shadow leader of the said it sent a terrible message to the public that people could read into that actually it is not a serious and what he did was ok so this is the conflict, conflict here that has gone to the heart of this debate, the cost of opposition mps are likely some conservatives have said that there are lots of other ways that you could change the system if you want to and it didn't need to be attached to and it didn't need to be attached to and it didn't need to be attached to a live individual case and there is a lot of concern about what that is, how that is going to be viewed by the public, how people are going to see this. . ~ by the public, how people are going to see this. ., ,, , ., ., by the public,

durrant, associate director at the institute for government think tank. quite a close vote. your thoughts? it is clear these are conservative backbenchers were not aligned and there were people who are quite critical of what is trying to do today and we will have to wait and see the bent, and see how we can served as voted against this and how many abstained and clearly the opposition were all generally of the view that this was not what they wanted to happen. the question now is what happens next, so there will be this committee set up withjohn whittingdale, former minister and select committee chair as its chair, they will be looking into this standards process and try and understand how it can be improved but there have been forward recommendations and a lot more discussions on this in the comments i think as you were just saying that owen paterson the question is not resolved either and the question is potentially whether it will end up and we will have to wait until the new year to find that out. for those who say this — new year to find that out. for those who say this is _ new year to find that out. for those who say this is a _ new year to find that out. for those who say this is a question _ new year to find that out. for those who say this is a question of- who say this is a question of integrity and this is a question of knowing that our mps, living by the highest standards and certainly not breaking parliamentary rules because thatis breaking parliamentary rules because that is what the rules are therefore, those who have concerns in the area, is this vote is a highly unusual circumstance, someone who studies the sorts of thing in surveys the history of parliament. is this unusual committee feel7 surveys the history of parliament. is this unusual committee feel? it is unusual for the government to get involved in this and for a vote on a specific case to be used to change the whole standard setup. that is very unusual. i think four people thinking about the integrity of the system there was a lot of discussion in the debate about the importance of the independent system and the system with integrity and the question is what is the new arrangement that this select committee will come up with and the snp have said they are not going to take part in a new select committee so if that is the case would be seen as legitimate even within the commons because my i do not know what labour is the one that is yet. but how the system can be viewed, the kind of nitty—gritty processes what is really going to get people exercised over the next few months and i think generally most mps want to abide by the rules and do the right thing and ensure that the systems popularly properly independent and has proper enforcement and isn't solely reliant on political priorities. is enforcement and isn't solely reliant on political priorities.— on political priorities. is this a long-running _ on political priorities. is this a long-running sore? _ on political priorities. is this a long-running sore? people i on political priorities. is this a i long-running sore? people who are long—running sore? people who are perhaps closer in my age to your age will remember cash for questions and think, goodness, didn't we go through all this then? didn't we have all kinds of systems that will change and processes that were brought in to try to clean it all up? we sitting here at a time and perhaps we should be talking about the climate are about covid—19 and talking about rules processes again? i think it is a very important question. with all of these standards and regulations they evolve in this constant updating because of cases and more social media nowadays and that was a point made in the committee on standards in public life is that public life is just much more in public life is that public life isjust much more intense now than it was 30 years ago syllables do need to keep evolving and you need to keep changing and there will always be a need for them to be tested and make sure that they are working. i think it is important to look at this case in the round of standards in public life generally is well and one of the things that the standards on public life independent advisory body to the government said this week is that the need to be more independent advisory body to the government said this week is that the need to be more across public life to the ones looking also what ministers do in government, looking at what people who have left government, previous ministers and civil servants, do once they leave government, that all of these regulators should be more independent so there is more of a gap between the people he will have to abide by the rules and the people who are setting and upholding the rules and i think that attitude of independence and that question of the independence of all of these things is really a play at the moment and, hopefully, this will be another opportunity where that independence can be strengthened rather than weaken.— independence can be strengthened rather than weaken. really good to have our rather than weaken. really good to have your thoughts. _ rather than weaken. really good to have your thoughts. thanks - rather than weaken. really good to have your thoughts. thanks so - rather than weaken. really good to l have your thoughts. thanks so much for your time. thank you. that was team from the institute for government think tank with a really good analysis of everything we have been hearing and listening to in the last hour and a half. before we get to the top of the hour let's just quickly return and get some final thoughts for this hour from quickly return and get some final thoughts for this hourfrom our political correspondent helen who has been following this. just your sense of where we are and how much we know at this stage about the numbers in the breakdown and so on? we'rejust waiting for numbers in the breakdown and so on? we're just waiting for the final confirmation that this has now passed and that is what mps were voting on a moment ago but it has been amended to include the setting up been amended to include the setting up of the new committee and people looking at putting the suspension of owen paterson on hold. i think what we can tell the numbers so far, we having to wait for the full breakdown to find out how each individual mp voted but looking at that it seems there have been a pretty large number of abstentions and that would suggest given that this was a three line whip from the government it was the strongest possible instruction to their mps to go and vote for vote for it, looking at the numbers suggest a number of them haven't done that and that does suggest that there is a fair degree of happiness of the way this has been done. certainly that is borne out by speaking to some conservative mps privately. you know, they felt that this was in a bit of bad taste, the way that this has been put through off the back of an individual case and that, of course, is what we have heard time and time again in the comments on the opposition is afternoon. the other interesting thing, i think it's going to do what is the immediate fallout of this? what is the reaction of, for example, the current standards committee? chris bryant said he would be setting up a rival committee so what happens without? to they think that the system, as it stands, can still function in the meantime? c have got that and i think the keeper some key question is going to be how successfully this new committee looking in the roles and the snp have already said they are going to have already said they are going to have no part of it if you need to bring other parties on board, is like going to happen in terms of actually coming up with a new and improved, if you like, way of policing mps and enforcing standards?— policing mps and enforcing standards? ., ~ . standards? thank you so much, helen. the

despite that the conservative three line whip. much more from four. we will dispose though because it's coming up to whether time and let's get the details from ben rich. good afternoon in the decidedly chilly feel to the weather through to date with a northerly wind blowing down bringing some spells of sunshine but also some showers especially when coastal areas, some interesting inland across eastern and central parts of england, temperatures are best 9—13 and then tonight we will keep showers especially around the coasts, some clear spells, too, and, across parts of northern england, southern scotland, we are likely to see temperatures dropping just below freezing. a little milder than it was last night it was last night across parts of east anglia in the south—east thanks to mcleod. some shells continuing here, is continuing to west wales in the south—east thanks to mcleod. some shells continuing here, is continuing to west wales on the of the sunshine, more cloud rolling into scotland and eventually northern ireland later in rain into the far north—west and a decidedly chilly feel, 7—11 , but as we had to west wales on the far south—eastern england but generally speaking tomorrow will bring fewer showers, more dry weather, less of the sunshine, more cloud rolling into scotland and eventually northern ireland later in the day was in rain into the far north—west and a decidedly chilly feel, 7—11 , but as we have and we will eventually see some outbreaks of rain, particularly across the northern half of the uk. this is bbc news. the headlines. the

close vote. yes, it was very close, even more close when you consider the government told its conservative mps in the strongest possible terms that they were supposed to vote for it and the fact they have come out so close gives you an indication about the strong mixed views that are held here in the commons, so what it does is put owen paterson's suspension on ice while they look at whether it needs to be reviewed and set up a new committee to look at the disciplinary process for mps as a whole so what is interesting now is how that is received by mps and i have pete wishart with me. what

vote in the commons from the snp and also to tell you coming up later in this half hour i will be talking to sir alistair graham, the former chair of the committee on standards in public life for his reaction to this extraordinary vote in the commons this afternoon. so a little bit more on that to come. we will turn to the other major story here, the climate conference in glasgow and large uk firms and institutions will be required to show how they intend to hit climate change targets under new rules proposed by the treasury. on the fourth day of the cop26 conference in glasgow, the government said businesses will have until 2023 to set out plans for how they will move to a low carbon future. but any commitments will not be mandatory. the chancellor rishi sunak told the conference that the world's 20 biggest economies would move to provide 100 billion dollars of climate finance to developing countries, a target that was set in 2015. from glasgow, here's victoria gill. after a flurry of early deals on deforestation, methane and cleaning up steel production, today cop 26 is all about the money. the chancellor rishi sunak said the global financial sector would be rewired to help meet our climate goals, and the uk would play a leading role. we are going to move towards making it mandatory for firms to publish a clear deliverable plan setting out how they will decarbonise and transition to net zero with an independent task was to reach what is required. globally, 450 firms that collectively control about £95 trillion worth of assets have now pledged to clean up their investments. the aim is to channel as much money as possible towards the goal of limiting global temperature rise to 1.5 celsius. make no mistake, the money is here if the world wants to use it. finance is no longer a mirror that reflects a world that is not doing enough, it is becoming a window amid all this talk today of trillions of pounds of investment, developing nations here at cop26 are still waiting for the delivery of a much more modest financial promise that was made to them more than a decade ago. the richest countries promised that, by 2020, they would provide 100 billion us dollars every year to the poorest, most vulnerable countries. those that are suffering the most in the face of climate change. that financial promise will now not be fulfilled until 2023. that money is necessary to help developing countries adapt to the impact of climate change they are already experiencing daily, but also to transition to the greener parts of the low carbon economy so they do not repeat the high carbon and high emitting pathway that developed countries have followed. in what has been called the decisive decade for climate action, there's very little room to miss these deadlines. victoria gill, bbc news, glasgow. patrick verkooijen is the ceo of the organisation the global center on adaptation — hejoins me now good afternoon. good afternoon. a romise good

it will help? the money has to come through, particular for africa. why i through, particular for africa. why africa through, particularfor africa. why africa and that's in the middle of the storm and the climate crisis. and all regions are impacted by the climate emergency but it's particularly africa which is living with this crisis. thousands of lives are being lost annually and the millions of livelihoods are being impacted and for africa, it is adapt or die, and financing has to flow. developed nations have committed $100,000,000,000 a year of which half should go to adaptation and adjusting to the climate impacts and lets not forget, africa is suffering today in a world which is warmer, 1.1 celsius more than preindustrial times but even if we live up to the paris agreement, goals of a 1.5 well change by 2030, africa will suffer. so it is now up to developed nations to come through with public finance for africa. yesterday we saw the leaders putting a plan on the table

in the self interest of- to realise in the self interest of developed nations to invest, because every euro, every pound invested in adaptation in africa has a $4 to pound or euro return. it makes economic sense. so african leaders will say, we are ready to put 6,000,000,000 a year on the table for our own national budget, and what we need from your developed world is to match us, to partner with us. what we see here in glasgow is from initial contributions towards this goal, but now african leaders as i said yesterday said they were tired of waiting and we can know one ? no longer wait. it's important to realise the crisis that has hit africa but it will not stay in africa and global supply chains will be impacted and we see it today with the supply chain disruption and migration streams will come to europe so it's good economics to adapt in africa and it's good for our health and planet and it's good for our economy. mi our health and planet and it's good for our economy.—

issue relating to disciplinary matters of members of parliament, the system has been destroyed on the rigged vote where normally you would expect matters relating to the disciplining of mps to be a cross—party matter and once again the conservative party is seeing to want to take control of everything and put their own person in charge of this particular system when in fact they were in mid— process and they have used this system for many years now, and i think the consequence will be that everybody will say we need an external tribunal to decide disciplinary matters, such as doctors and accountants and even optometrists, where i sat on their disciplinary committee, where people might lose theirjobs if they have behaved badly, so i think, rather like gordon brown did when the expenses scandal hit parliament, what did we end up with? we ended up with an independent body, called ipsa, the independent parliamentary standards committee which controls mps pay and expenses. committee which controls mps pay and exenses. ~ .. committee which controls mps pay and exenses. ~ ., , ., , , expenses. what message does this send out to — expenses. what message does this send out to the _ expenses. what message does this send out to the public? _ expenses. what message does this send out to the public? what -

talking about the daily figures, another 217 deaths after 28 days after a positive covid test and what he is concerned about is the figure has been creeping up and it appears to be older people affected and i should point out the overall death figures each day are still well below where we were last winter in that stage of the pandemic, but that is why you are hearing the call from jonathan van tam for people to go out and get the third booster doses to better protect them. it out and get the third booster doses to better protect them.— out and get the third booster doses to better protect them. it was quite interesting. — to better protect them. it was quite interesting, even _ to better protect them. it was quite interesting, even his— to better protect them. it was quite interesting, even his reaction -

" and she didn't answer, and i said, "what's your name?" she didn't answer again, so i asked her a third time, and then she looked at me and she said, "my name's cleo." the four—year—old vanished from her family's tent while camping on the western australian coast. it sparked one of the biggest police operations in the area, with extensive air, land, and sea searches. a million—dollar reward was offered for information on her whereabouts. cleo's disappearance gripped australia. from day one, this story captured the nation's heart. now that she's been rescued, so many people took to social media to express theirjoy and relief — including, of course, cleo's mother, ellie smith. she said, "ourfamily is whole again." australia's prime minister scott morrison said this was wonderful, relieving news. this is every parent's worst nightmare, and the fact that that nightmare has come to an end and our worst fears were not realised isjust a huge relief, and a moment for greatjoy. a 36—year—old man is in custody and is being questioned by detectives. more details have yet to emerge about how little cleo disappeared and the events that led to her rescue. but, for now, a family's ordeal is over, and a country's prayers have been answered. shaimaa khalil, bbc news, sydney. after hitting the electing on the climate summit in glasgow today today is all about finance and we have heard about finance and we have heard about the various pledges from the chancellor she seen it has been talk about money from developing countries. let'sjust about money from developing countries. let's just take stock from moment to remind us of what has been promised and what has been agreed on him is our reality check of a sponge and chris morris who has been charged with keeping an eye on all of that and there is a lot to take in sega is a sense first of the promises and what has been pledged. it really is one of the big issues of this conference was always going to be because since 2009 rich countries said they would give the developing world hundred billion dollars a year by 2020 and that tiger has been missed and we know that now the acceptor and is for two things, now, firstly to deal with the immediate effects of climate change, things happening now, at up to those, that is really important to those, that is really important to have more money for that and also to have more money for that and also to build greener economy to the future. you know, these are poor countries and if they don't have that flow of money they simply cannot respond to climate change on the way they need to. 50. cannot respond to climate change on the way they need to.— the way they need to. so, the offer i mentioned, rishi _ the way they need to. so, the offer i mentioned, rishi sunak— the way they need to. so, the offer i mentioned, rishi sunak and - the way they need to. so, the offerl i mentioned, rishi sunak and others talking today, the offer from the rich world is what's given that as we've reflected here all afternoon previous pledges haven't been met? they haven't said is a credibility problem just after the g7 rich countries got together and said, sort of, how do you recalibrate this? and the offer now is that that hundred billion target will be met by 2023 which will be means in 20212022 will be met. there have been some new pledges in the last couple of days. alec sharma has said may be the oecd and the un are going to go back and redo their figures but i don't think they're going to be 200 billion yet even though there has been new money from japan, australia, the uk and, you know, the world coming into the poorer countries is disappointing. you promise to something which we really need and you haven't delivered nothing that is why it has been such a big focus and i think will still remain a focus of negotiation back till the end of this two—week summer? till the end of this two-week summer?— till the end of this two-week summer? , ., , , ., , till the end of this two-week summer? , , ., , , summer? yes, absolutely, and is this money that— summer? yes, absolutely, and is this money that has _ summer? yes, absolutely, and is this

some of that expected back in the lona run? , , ., ., , , long run? this is another very big roblem long run? this is another very big problem for _ long run? this is another very big problem for a _ long run? this is another very big problem for a lot _ long run? this is another very big problem for a lot of— long run? this is another very big problem for a lot of countries - problem for a lot of countries because some of the latest figures we have from 2018 and in 2018 nearly three quarters of the money was on loans that have to be paid back. only 20% in grants that you just get to keep. these are countries that were already heavily in debt before the covid—19 pandemic. those debts have got worse over the last couple of years so this is almost unaffordable and come on top of that, at 100 billion figure, you don't even's climate experts and thatis don't even's climate experts and that is kind of the minimum, really. it is a flop not the ceiling of the words i was given and i think the rich countries acknowledge that. there has been a statement this afternoon on behalf of the uk presidency of cop26 which says trillions of dollars of additional investment a year and needed to secure a low carbon future in these poorer countries and, you know, we are now starting to talk about sums of money but the reason we are doing that, you know, 14 zeros, ithink, in a trillion, is that we are asking all we are having to set up a system where every single country in the world completely re—engineers the way its economy works. the global economy has to be completely, sort of, reformulated. it is akin, if you like, to the industrial revolution in the 18th and 19th century except we are trying to do this in a years, so yes, they amount of money almost a bit to contemplate but that is where the money is that large and that's why these poorer countries dismally need it.— that's why these poorer countries dismally need it. right, and that is wh the dismally need it. right, and that is why they will _ dismally need it. right, and that is why they will be — dismally need it. right, and that is why they will be talking _ dismally need it. right, and that is why they will be talking about - dismally need it. right, and that is why they will be talking about it i why they will be talking about it but then the conference i'm sure. chris morris looking at this pledges me today in glasgow. such a body afternoon we have not had time to talk about sport at all so apologies to sever and better late than never and will catch on with all the latest sports news.

jane, is all your spot now. good stuff, sarah. good to have some tennis news and there. good afternoon and you are still watching bbc news. we are going to toggle selections in the united states and just a moment but before we do, in fact, just a couple of interesting lines coming continuing fallout from that vote in the commons that we focused on so much this afternoon. we're just hearing from our political, despondent that both labour and the snp have already said they are going to the new committee set up to look at standards in parliament, so labour and the snp already saying they're going to boycott that committee. we were hearing just a few minutes ago from the snp's pete who said this vote this afternoon will come back to haunt us. that was the phrase he used. so much disquiet about the vote and that, again, that comment from labour and the snp giving you a sense of how much disquiet and anxiety there is about that vote and sir alistair graham who i was talking to the last half an hour or so talking about how in his opinion it was completely inappropriate that there a three line whip put down by there a three line whip put down by the government and that as well so continuing reaction and that the latest labour and snp saying they will boycott the new committee. much more not to come, i'm quite sure. there is continuing reaction to that vote in the last hour or so. right now, as i say, we will turn to elections in the united states because there have been a number of elections overnight and a republican, glenn youngkin has been elected as the governor of virginia. that there was a major upset. his democratic opponent conceded the race. the vote has been seen as a referendum onjoe biden's referendum on joe biden's presidency. referendum onjoe biden's presidency. he's been in office, of course, for less than a year. this is what glenn youngkin had to say that his victory in virginia. mr; that his victory in virginia. my fellow that his victory in virginia. wi fellow virginians. that his victory in virginia. ii fellow virginians. we that his victory in virginia. ii1: fellow virginians. we stand that his victory in virginia. ii1 fellow

particularly in virginia are very engaging historically the expectation was republicans would win in that the state has tended to go the opposite way of the presidential election the year before and write down the midian dough mid ulsterfight was before and write down the midian dough mid ulster fight was very close to many of the delegates were able to hold their seats in virginia suggest that we will have a very competitive mid—term next year. but i think people sentjoe biden to washington to produce results and the biggest thing that stood in the way was congressional democrats not yet getting the build back better attended on and being able to show those voters to voters in virginia including on the climate change been discussed in glasgow this week looking at the eight issue of child tax credit making those things more affordable and expanding health care, so i think that, actually, this is an opportunity to light a flyer goal fire this is an opportunity to light a flyer goalfire under this is an opportunity to light a flyer goal fire under democrats in congress and produce kind of issues that are going to make things a little easierfor that are going to make things a little easier for people across race and region in the country and if they run round next year that is going to be very welcome summer. you were a democratic congressman myself i should claim to have know you're making a point that this could happen to something that could happen to something that could happen at this particular point in the election cycle but it is still surely a damning indictment of biden presidency? bwell, ithink surely a damning indictment of biden presidency? bwell, i think it is a return raid and when i was in congress ten years ago the similar election for barack obama was an absolute landslide for the republicans. it was really a body blow to the additional tarmac original years of the obama presidency. this is more about brush back pitch and is going to depend how americans respond. i think you see in the state people who are ready to listen. i see in the state people who are ready to listen.— ready to listen. i do think the democrats — ready to listen. i do think the democrats focused _ ready to listen. i do think the democrats focused a - ready to listen. i do think the democrats focused a little i ready to listen. i do think the | democrats focused a little too ready to listen. i do think the i democrats focused a little too much on an antique trump message and after positive agenda of what they're for web candidates did that in virginia and beyond they were actually very successful. i do think there was a question of whether the republican party is indicating any ability to move on from the very, hovers at the trump presidency with the young king administration and i think they're going to have to decide whether they want to govern the way that they complained with a more proactive focus on things like education are the fear politics that they were also staring up at the school board level so i think both sides are going to take this and learn lessons from it and i think that it learn lessons from it and i think thatitis learn lessons from it and i think that it is a great opportunity again for democrats to show that they are ready to pass the biden agenda and produce results for voters across virginia, across the country, and that people overall would love to see a more inclusive message. but the man who _ see a more inclusive message. but the man who won, he will be virginia's next governor was very careful of the campaign trail not to mention donald trump and he might have tapped into some of those issues, perhaps, and we know that education is a key issue in this particular state but he was careful not to name donald trump. she did keep donald trump out of the state is one of the first republicans in the trump distance to be successful in keeping trump at a distance and still getting that maggot trump base to turnout and it will be interesting to see how that goes on the other thing is when republicans focus on trying to win over more voters instead of trying to rig the rules of voting they can win elections even in blue states and things like voting reform and democracy reform should go it's been a bypass is an issue in that election should be about who has the better ideas on agenda even in a blue and state you are able to see an election run well and produce results that appear to be going the direction of the republican party, so hopefully we can put things like the big lie, but donald trump and his supporters seem to promote aside and say, hey, go out there, produce your best ideas, make the case to voters and in a democracy that is the way it should work so maybe this can be a return to normal. for now, i think with mr young king not having held public office before it is really going to be an opportunity for him to say in what ways does he want to cover it in a very different way in president trump and in a way thatis way in president trump and in a way that is embracing all of virginia and i think democrats need to show they are going to be ready to but with all ciders democrats in congress have been but face a loss of disruption. i think right now voters are in a lot of pain. it is almost two years of pandemic, two years of block tans and disruptions to present atomic people's personal lives, and they want to see solutions from the public schools to the pandemic itself and they want to see solutions from the public schools the pandemic itself i think where either party can deliver on that in a meaningful way daters are going to reward that and i think thatis going to reward that and i think that is why president biden has put these plans forward. i think it is long past time for congress to get them past and for all of us to be able to get back to something like life as we used to know it. tom, thank you, we must leave it there. tom bradley, executive director of open society foundations us. many thanks. we are going to return to cop26. four days and is the climate summit in glasgow and a number of agreements have been reached in to slow climate change but for millions around the globe it is already having a devastating effect. madagascar, an island nation off the coast of east africa is on the brink of what the un is calling the world's first climate —induced famine. i'm ata famine. i'm at a desertjustin rowlatt sent this report and just to warn you you might find some of the images in this piece distressing. almost a million people are suffering severe food shortages in madagascar, the un says. many are on the verge of starvation. marari gathers her family around her. they've lived their entire life in this village. they used to grow maize, rice and potatoes... ..but now the ground is bone dry. translation: there hasn't been any rain. | not a single drop has hit the soil. all the crops we planted failed. everything failed. it is agony for marari's daughter to see her children go without food. translation: my son doesn't keep quiet when he's hungry. i he pulls on my shoulder and climbs on my lap crying for food, saying," i'm hungry, i'm hungry, i'm hungry." but where can i find food to give him? he does not understand that there is no food. he thinks there is food but we hide it from him. the world food programme is currently providing emergency money and food to people here, but it says the situation is desperate. the first time i saw, ijust cried. i was really, really shocked - about the situation of the children. you can see in the face i that the child is very sick and almost to die. insects are part of the diet in madagascar, but for some children, they are now the only food available, the un says. historians will look back at madagascar as probably the first time a country was brought to the brink of famine just by climate factors. no war in madagascar, no conflict. but if you ask me, do i think this will be the last time this happens — no way. i have no doubts that there will be more cases like this. don't imagine the climate crisis is some vague future threat, warns the un. marari is worried it is already too late for her family. translation: i have no hope that i will stay alive. _ i will die. and when i think of my family, i realise that we will all die, because we have nothing to eat to survive. justin rowlatt, bbc news. yorkshire county cricket club has been strongly criticised for its handling of racism allegations made by a former player. leaked details of a report into the club like treatment of azeem rafiq suggest a senior player wasn't punished for using racially offensive term against glenn —— azeem rafiq. an mp called it repellent and said the board of the club should resign and a publishing committee removed its brand association with yorkshire's club saying it hopes the club will respond with serious action. there is a sponsored respondent mother scott. —— here is our sports correspondent yorkshire scott cricket was azeem rafiq's passion and identity. at youth level, he represented england, and played county cricket for several years. but last september the talented spin bowler came forward alleging institutional racism at yorkshire. cricket for yorkshire should be the best time of your life. unfortunately for me, it wasn't. an investigation commissioned by yorkshire into rafiq's allegations found he had been the victim of racial harassment and bullying during his time at the club. yorkshire apologised but said no disciplinary action would be taken. espn this week reported that a redacted version of the report concluded that a racially offensive term used towards him was regarded as banter, which has only amplified the scrutiny on the handling of this matter. so this will, you know, definitely be a huge concern for the ecb to think why yorkshire county club have not taken any disciplinary action. and this is, you know, it's going to put huge pressures on people on the board, and especially the chairman — you know, roger hutton — to give us some answers of, what is your understanding on, you know, the terms of racial words? why have you termed them as, you know, "banter"? the yorkshire hierarchy have been called to give evidence to a parliamentary committee, who will also hear from rafiq later this month. mps say it is time for those in charge to answer their critics. what we've read is deeply shocking, and one of the most disturbing events in modern cricket history, in my view. from my perspective, i can think of very few reasons why the board of yorkshire cricket club should remain in place. the england and wales cricket board has announced its own qc—led investigation, but already the impact of rafiq's treatment is being felt. the publishing group emerald, which has the naming rights to yorkshire's ground headingley, said it's "dismayed" by the situation. and there are concerns, too, that the negative experiences of such a prominent south asian player could mark a backwards step in the work being done to promote inclusion and diversity in cricket. to get away with what they did to azeem rafiq, the asian community will never be able to trust the club and the organisation to allow their own sons and daughters to go and become part of that organisation. this is already viewed as one of the most serious crises in yorkshire's history, but what happens next will test the wider game's commitment to tackling discrimination. laura scott, bbc news. much more coming up from five o'clock and more on that continuing reaction to the vote in the house of commons is happening and we will be hearing live from andrea leadsom and that the conservative who brought that the conservative who brought that amendment, so much more than that amendment, so much more than that to come and the latest from the climate conference in glasgow, of course, but right now we will catch on with the weather prospects and here is ben rich. hi, ben. hello, jane. thank you very much. very good afternoon tea. after a very mild octavia might have been down to the arrival of orton the first few days of november have seen this temperature is dropping away. it certainly feels cold out there now thanks to this northerly wind which has been bringing some rather chilly an hour away. it has also been bringing some showers in some places have seen more showers than others parts of pembrokeshire and cornwall have really seen quite a lot. this line of showers are set up and will continue to be a feature into tomorrow. some showers have drifted across eastern england into the midlands, parts of central and southern england and we have had lots of peppering of the northern coast, north—east england, northern coast, north—east england, northern coast of scotland, parts of northern ireland. so the showers, actually, in northern scotland through tonight will be wintry of a high ground on rangers will continue for east and western coasts but in between where western coasts but in between where we see some clear spells it is going to be another really chilly night, particularly in northern england and southern scotland where some temperatures will drop just below freezing so quite a widespread loss tomorrow morning and quite a lot of sunshine around first thing for most of us with some showers for time group in east anglia and the south—east, some of the show are still plaguing pembrokeshire and cornwall but, generally speaking through the day showers will become fewer and further between. most places will be dry to the afternoon with some spells of sunshine but it won't help the temperatures, just 7-11 at won't help the temperatures, just 7—11 at the very best and late in the day will see thicker cloud and some patchy rain into an offer scotland as this warm front works its way through and then behind that this of cloud working around the top of an area of high pressure. that cloud rolling in from the west during friday so quite a lot of cloud rolling in from the west during friday so quite a lot of code run for the day, better sunshine and eastern parts and thicker cloud been the odd spot of rain in the west but westerly winds. it is going to feel quite a lot mild have identified a, 12-13 quite a lot mild have identified a, 12—13 or quite a lot mild have identified a, 12-13 or 14 quite a lot mild have identified a, 12—13 or 14 degrees and it means a mild friday night if you have any plans to celebrate bonfire night and then into the weekend, well, those westerly winds continue. quite a strong wind at times but one that will feed milder air in our direction so a very different feel to the weather as we start saturday. a loss of cloud, yes, but milder. best chance of sunshine across eastern england. some rain for scotland, northern ireland, eventually north—west england and wales but this temperatures back into double digits for all of us. into sunday, better chance of staying dry weather and some sunshine. again, ithink staying dry weather and some sunshine. again, i think the best of the sunshine in shelters these. more cloud further north and east where you expose the breeze. a little bit cool stage in the far north but generally speaking we sit without milder field and the generally speaking we sit without milderfield and the milder air takes it into next week's of the chilly november start isn't to last all that long. this is bbc news. i'm reeta chakrabarti. the headlines: the ayes to the right
