we reflected within 2a hours. we made a mistake, collectively, and we've come to the commons and said, "look, let's separate these things out "and let's do this properly", because fairness is important. the role young people can play in tackling global warming will be the focus of the cop26 climate change summit in glasgow today. campaigner greta thunberg will host a protest as thousands of young people are expected to join. the world health organization warns that europe is once again at the centre of the global coronavirus pandemic. and here we go again, abba have told the bbc they would be willing to help end the uk's two decade defeat at eurovision. the chairman of yorkshire cricket club, roger hutton, has resigned over the club's response to the racism experienced by one of its former players, azeem rafiq. it comes after an investigation found mr rafiq was a victim of "racial harassment and bullying" — after which the club said they would take no disciplinary action. mr hutton — who had been under mounting pressure to step down — "apologised unreservedly" to 30—year—old rafiq. he said the club "should have recognised at the time the serious "allegations of racism". he also accused the club of "a culture that " refuses to accept change or challenge". he was also highly critical of the england and wales cricket board, claiming the governing body "declined to help". the ecb have issued a statement responding to that. it said that yorkshire ccc did reach out to us at the beginning of the investigation with a request that we partner with them on exploring azeem's allegations of racism and bullying against the club. his resignation came before an emergency board meeting today, amid calls for "heads to roll" at the club. azeem rafiq, who represented yorkshire in two stints between 2008 and 2018, said "institutional racism" at the club had left him close to taking his own life. simonjones reports. a club with a culture that refuses to accept change or challenge, the words of roger hutton as he apologise unreservedly to azeem rafiq. an independent panel found that the former player had been the victim of harassment and bullying but that the club had taken no action. this week, gary ballance said he regretted using a racial slur during conversations with his ex team—mate. he's been suspended from england selection indefinitely. now, the former england captain michael vaughan says he, too, was named in the report for allegedly telling a group of asian players, including rafiq, in 2009, that there "were too many of you lot". but in his daily telegraph column, vaughan writes, "this hit me very hard. the club has been suspended from hosting international matches by the england and wales cricket board for what it calls the "wholly unacceptable handling" of azeem rafiq's racism claims. it's really important that the ecb sends a message to cricket fans across this country that we will not stand for this. that racism, and anything to do with racism and discrimination of any kind, has absolutely no place in the game. the departing chairman is calling for more people to go, and says he looks forward to the day when yorkshire cricket club is a great club again. former cricketer mark ramprakash told bbc breakfast that the latest developments have forced yorkshire county cricket club to take a long hard look at themselves: there needed to be some more statements, i think, coming out, and recognising that the environment was not right, and with seven counts of the 43, the allegations that azeem made, seven of them were upheld. and there was an apology to azeem rafiq, but no consequences, and i think that's the thing that really grates. we have heard sajid javid get involved in this situation, saying that the ecb must take action swiftly and decisively, otherwise it's not fit for purpose. and they have done that, and the ramifications for yorkshire as a club are huge, because they have now been suspended from hosting international matches, which is a really serious punishment financially. and it really has to make the club look long and hard at itself. he worked at headingley for the yorkshire cricket foundation — the charitable arm of yorkshire county cricket club — for four years up until 2017. part of his job was to promote the sport among south asian communities. he's now the secretary of the great horton church cricket club in bradford. what has your reaction been to the resignation of the chairman?

tta: problem within yorkshire what about cricket as a whole? tt2 problem within yorkshire cricket have finally, thankfully, been highlighted. sadly, azeem rafiq has had to suffer. our governing body, ecb, the need to take a good long look at themselves in terms of how they have dealt with the issue. why has it been allowed to go on for so long? yes, international cricket has been taken away from yorkshire, but they have invested huge amounts of taxpayers money into yorkshire in the name of south asian communities in the last six, seven years, if not more. millions of pounds of taxpayers money has gone into yorkshire in the name of south asian communities, where has this gone, what difference has it made, why has it resulted in something like this? thank you very much indeed. as world leaders discuss climate action at the cop26 summit in glasgow, young people across the city arejoining protests calling for more to be done. the swedish activist greta thunberg will be there, and has called for more supporters tojoin in. here's our scotland correspondent, lorna gordon. the faces of some of those taking part in today's march in glasgow. they say they're frustrated. we are sick and tired of climate inaction. they want change. for me, the biggest issue when it comes to climate change is the continued extraction of fossil fuels. they have demands. what i have to say for world leaders is that they must pay climate - reparations to the communities most affected by the climate crisis. - and want those at the summit to listen to what they say. and my message to the world leaders is that no—one is safe from this climate crisis. greta, do you think glasgow will deliver? greta thunberg, who inspired the school climate strike movement, is in the city during cop. no more blah blah blah. crowd: no more blah blah blah. at a protest earlier this week, she said world leaders were only pretending to take climate change seriously. that movement would only come because of pressure from the public. change is not going to l come from inside there. that is not leadership. this is leadership. this is what leadership looks like. cheering. these young people will be among those leading the march through glasgow. strike with us, the workers, the youth from glasgow, the local people. dylan has been striking for the climate for the past three years since he was ilt. it is very hard to switch off, i would say, especially the past two years, really, since the cop got announced. it's been full steam ahead the whole time. so it is very all—consuming. just because there's so much to do, there's always more we can do. it feels like you have a constant battle with yourself to do as much as you can. so, um, yeah, i mean, there's definitely been sleepless nights. what do we want? climate justice. when do we want it? now. covid means they're not sure how this will compare to previous marches, but organisers are hoping for thousands, and that it will be impossible to ignore. glasgow is on a global scale. it's a small city. i think it has a lot of heart. and to be honest, i think it's a city that cares a lot about this stuff. and really, it has a long history of protest. it cares aboutjustice. and i think the people here are angry. so i think that, you know, in terms of spirit, in terms of reaction to the cop, it will match any previous cop. it might even outmatch it. but in terms of bodies on the street, it's difficult to assess because of the pandemic. making their voices heard matters so much to these pupils, they say it's worth missing a day of school. the strength of their feelings is clear. anger at the politicians for not taking action sooner. also grateful that we have this opportunity to even protest because there's tonnes of countries that don't have that opportunity. i feel very strongly about it. you know, it's our world and it's our future. - will you get into trouble for missing school? i think that it's like we're missing lessons to teach the world one. and hoping their calls for change will be heard. lorna gordon, bbc news, glasgow. the adventurer and tv presenter, bear grylls, is at cop26 in his capacity as chief ambassador of world scouting. you have been lucky enough to travel around the world to the most remote places, over the last 15 years, is this something you have been passionate about since those days? yes, it is. when i started out doing all of this i was more of a climate sceptic in some ways. i used to think the world was pretty resilient, we would be ok. i have totally changed. over the last ten years after seeing the devastating effect of climate change close up many times, notjust in terms of wildlife and environment and to rein and extremity of weathers and flash floods and wildfires, but also in terms of the effect it has on vulnerable coastal communities. i think this is the thing about climate change, ultimately it affects humanity. that is why this day at cop26 is a powerful one, representing 57 million people around the world, young scouts, they want to change, to do the right thing for the environment. but we do need the world leaders to lead and to do these things and reduce these fossil fuels and invest in renewables, go above and beyond to protect our wild places, the forests and the oceans. because it is dd now, we are beyond the date now, we have to have action. this now, we are beyond the date now, we have to have action.— have to have action. as chief scout, do ou have to have action. as chief scout, do you encourage — have to have action. as chief scout, do you encourage millions - have to have action. as chief scout, do you encourage millions of - do you encourage millions of scouts to become activists, to demonstrate, to become activists, to demonstrate, to skip school on fridays, to get the world to change?

i encourage them to stand up for what they i them to stand up for what they really believe in. as young people it is their futures, they are environments, there is definitely a place for activism as long as it is done respectfully and peacefully. this is not about as encouraging young people, this is about listening to all of our millions of scouts who want to do something good for the planets, they want to see their leaders in their countries lead and be pioneers protect the world. forall of lead and be pioneers protect the world. for all of as it is about trying to be on the right side of the history, to say, did we stand up and say enough is enough, you have got to protect our world? share and say enough is enough, you have got to protect our world?— got to protect our world? are they ri . hts, got to protect our world? are they rights. perhaps. — got to protect our world? are they rights, perhaps, young _ got to protect our world? are they rights, perhaps, young people, i got to protect our world? are they rights, perhaps, young people, to| got to protect our world? are they i rights, perhaps, young people, to be sceptical and cynical about what political leaders will do? they can say whatever they want but what they do is different. i am just thinking, i seem to remember you were taking the prime minister of india to look at the effects of climate change, he was shocked. but then of course india is not signing up to a lot of the pledges that other countries are at cop26? ., ., , , ., at cop26? india has 'ust done net zero at cop26? india has 'ust done net 2070. h at cop26? india hasjust done net zero 2070. ideally we _ at cop26? india hasjust done net zero 2070. ideally we would i at cop26? india hasjust done net zero 2070. ideally we would be i zero 2070. ideally we would be saying, sooner and sooner. you have got to engage with leaders. i took president obama to alaska. he wanted to see climate change effects close up. he wanted to see it. i think young people have a right to be sceptical because there has been a lot of talk before but ijust hope that this feels different, is different, we are actually seeing some change. i am proud of the uk. i think we are leaders in terms of this around the world. ultimately, we can do our part, and we should be doing our part, but we need, you are right, we need the leaders, to not just talk but actually to do it. forgive me, is that not quite a pan— glossy interview of things? and i think a lot of people younger than us will be seeing that is not the case at all. greta thunberg put out a statement yesterday saying this is just more green washing. in terms of fundamental changes and pledges that have been agreed so far. who would not feel sceptical? it is so easy for politicians to be like that. we are on our own, we are powerless. but there is a collective power, when you see young people getting together saying, please listen to us. on my own i have no power here. bats collectively, if we make our voices heard, to say, please do the right thing, protect the rainforest, protect the oceans, do notjust let it be commercially fished out, and checked. you have to look around you. it is this thing of being on the right side of history. wouldn't we all love to be able to say, do it, to the politicians? thank you for talking to us from glasgow. labour has ruled out standing aside in favour of a cross—party "anti—sleaze" candidate in the by—election to replace the tory mp owen paterson. mr paterson announced his resignation after the government changed its mind over blocking his suspension from parliament for breaking lobbying rules. a senior cabinet minister has admitted the party made a �*mistake' in the way it handled the paterson controversy. our political correspondent damian grammaticas reports. owen paterson resigned yesterday saying he was totally innocent, but the commissioner for standards found he had been paid £100,000 a year by two companies, then lobbied government on their behalf. there will now be a by—election to fill his seat, and the opposition parties look certain to make sleaze one of their central themes. mr paterson was in parliament on wednesday, when the government ordered all conservative mps to vote to block his suspension. the ayes to the right, 250... the opposition shouted "shame". ..232. all: shame! less than 2a hours later in the face of widespread outrage, the government u—turned. mr paterson, once again facing suspension, resigned. last night's vote has created a certain amount of controversy. it is important that standards in this house are done on a cross—party basis. but that's left the government with a problem... good evening. it's a nice evening, i hope you're enjoying it. could you give us your reaction to the resignation of owen paterson? look, owen has made his statement, and i'm sure you have seen it. the leader of the house of commons, jacob rees—mogg, still wants to change the system for investigating complaints against mps. but now has to convince the opposition that talk of reform wasn't just about trying to save mr patterson, there really is a need. the labour mp who chairs the existing standards committee told bbc newsnight it is already independent, wholesale reform isn't necessary. our committee already exists. there's absolutely no need for another one, and the way the government has handled this, i'm afraid, does not auger well for cross—party consideration of this matter. and the business secretary is underfire, too. yesterday, he said the commissioner who found mr paterson had broken the rules should consider her position. do you still think the commissioner's going to have a difficult time staying in post? no. labour has written to the prime minister's ethics adviser saying kwasi kwarteng's comments should be investigated as an attempt to bully the commissioner. the fallout from this affair rumbles on. damian grammaticas, bbc news. i've been getting reaction from the conservative peer lord barwell, who was downing street chief of staff in theresa may's government. it is clearly a terrible mistake that number ten and the government as a whole made in trying to get owen paterson off the hook and change the rules. if you are asking me why it happened, it is not easy for me to answer, since it was politically bad for the government, the conservative party, and for owen himself. my best guess, and i do not think a lot of your viewers will have sympathy with it, here goes, sometimes in life, when one of our friends does something wrong, there is a natural to see the best in them, in this case in particular, given the tragic events that owen and his family have been through with his wife very sadly taking her own life, there would have been understandable compassion for him. therefore, what went wrong, i think, is that nobody around the prime minister said to him, i understand you are sorry for owen paterson, you feel he has been hard done by, but this will look terrible if you do this, or maybe somebody did say that but the prime minister didn't listen to him. either way, that speaks to a problem in terms of the way the government is handling these issues. explain for our viewers the structure of how these decisions are made. a lot of criticism in some newspapers this morning about the chief whip. the chief whip would not have acted unilaterally? he would have been instructed by the prime minister? it is possible that the chief whip advised the prime minister to do it and the prime minister agreed, or possible that the chief whip was told by the prime minister to do it. i am not in the room, i cannot tell you. but it is not plausible that there was not a conversation between the prime minister and the chief whip, and i suspect the leader of the house, jacob rees mogg, would have been involved in the decision—making as well. prime minister and advisers in number ten, the whips, the leader of the house, would have been the people i suspect involved in the decision—making. how unusual is it to be whipped, a three line whip, on something like this? not unprecedented, but unusual. normally on house business the government would be applying three line whips. i thinkjacob rees mogg made his statement trying to execute this u—turn yesterday he acknowledged that the mistake had been to conflate how he handled this individual case with the concerns some people had about the rules and how they were working generally. it is never right, i think, to try and change the rules in the middle of a case. he has acknowledged that, and the two have now been separated. when you were working for your boss you were used to a lot of disgruntled tory mps being behind you. how much damage has this done to borisjohnson at the moment? walking all his mps up to the top and then sending them back down again. in the short term it has done a lot of damage. there are a few things mps hate more than being ordered to vote for something that they know is going to get them a lot of criticism in their constituencies, and then the government changes its mind, and they've taken all that pain for nothing. it will have been very damaging for mps. the question is whether the government learns from this. it is not the first time. think back to dominic cummings at barnard castle, it is not the first time the government has misread the public mood in making sure the rules are applied uniformly to everyone, it is not a perception of one set of rules for one group of people and another for someone else. what is important from the point of view of conservative mps is that the government learns from this and does not repeat this mistake. brexit minister lord frost will hold talks with one of brussels' top officials as efforts continue to resolve disputes over northern ireland and fishing rights. lord frost will meet european commission vice—president, maros sefcovic in brussels, with the uk and european union still at loggerheads over the northern ireland protocol. in the past few minutes, the brexit minister has been speaking to journalists ahead of his meeting with mr sefcovic. we hope to make some progress but, honestly, the gap between us is still quite significant. but let's see where we can get to. iubiiilii —— will you trigger article 16 today?

you could see some change in the numbers. i french boats or not? you could see i some change in the numbers. various debates going on in those talks around replacement of vessels, temporary licences and a number of outstanding boats that had been refused licences, as well. the united kingdom is saying that insufficient evidence has basically been provided by those boats. the french are very cross about this. they think that the agreement that was signed isn't being honoured. those talks also continuing. for now, it looks like french threats to take retaliatory measures have been put off. lord frost, the brexit minister will catch up again with france's european affairs minister early next week.— early next week. jess, with the latest from _ early next week. jess, with the latest from brussels, - early next week. jess, with the latest from brussels, thank i early next week. jess, with the | latest from brussels, thank you early next week. jess, with the i latest from brussels, thank you very much. as we've been hearing, young people across glasgow are joining protests calling for more to be done to combat climate change. the swedish activist greta thunberg will be there, and has called for more supporters to join in. well, we can cross over to kelvingrove in glasgow now — where the youth march is starting — and join our correspondent, catriona renton. how many people are there so far? behind us already quite a group gathering. we are not expecting the march to officially gather until 11 o'clock and then get under way after that. organisers here are predicting thousands of people will be here. i think we can probably safely say thatis think we can probably safely say that is true, looking at the number of people that have gathered here already. of course, this is all about cop26. we expect this to be the biggest protest so far since the conference got under way earlier this week. i am joined by two ladies from fridays for futures. anna brown and sky mariner. fridays for futures is the movement to set up by greta thunberg. tell us all about this and what you are expecting today. the movement started a few years ago and in glasgow— movement started a few years ago and in glasgow we have been building up to cop26 _ in glasgow we have been building up to cop26 for quite a while because it was— to cop26 for quite a while because it was delayed by the pandemic. we are glad _ it was delayed by the pandemic. we are glad to — it was delayed by the pandemic. we are glad to be here today. today is all about _ are glad to be here today. today is all about showing that people have power _ all about showing that people have power and notjust all about showing that people have power and not just a all about showing that people have power and notjust a conference centre — power and notjust a conference centre the _ power and notjust a conference centre. the power is here with the people _ centre. the power is here with the people in— centre. the power is here with the people in solidarity with everyone. workers. — people in solidarity with everyone. workers, students, young people from all across— workers, students, young people from all across the world. sky, workers, students, young people from all across the world.— all across the world. sky, we have seen lots of _ all across the world. sky, we have seen lots of people _ all across the world. sky, we have seen lots of people here. - all across the world. sky, we have seen lots of people here. you i all across the world. sky, we have seen lots of people here. you are | all across the world. sky, we have l seen lots of people here. you are 18 years old. it is your generation here speaking out today, isn't it?

do you think ordinary glaswegians that may aren't or haven't been so engaged with the movement today are maybe waking up and thinking there is a big issue here and we should be finding out more about it? do you think you are educating people? t think you are educating people? i think you are educating people? i think cop26 has brought climate change a lot more to the forefront in glasgow and communities locally had community action groups with young people. there are two sides put up the issue of the disruption, the road closures that are annoying people, the university has gone back online and things. also the good things, people getting educated. we are seeing a lot more community participation with the people's summit starting on sunday. there are definitely two sides to it. it has brought it to the forefront. people are seeing the issues that those in power are causing. whether that is climate change, road closures or shutting down the world for them. i am going to let you get back to organising today's event. you will see, of course, there are thousands of people gathering here. we don't know what the final number could be. there have been predictions of around 10,000 perhaps more. we will keep you in touch with what is going on throughout the day. but i think what we are hearing from anna and sky is that this is about a serious message with some good humour. ok, we will be back with you as the match progresses. thank you very much indeed. as the march progresses. as we know, climate change is already reshaping our world. some regions are warming much faster than others. our environment editor, justin rowlatt, is taking a road trip, travelling from alaska to california, where even in one of the richest countries in the world, they are still struggling to cope. the top of our world is changing. warming twice as fast as the rest of the planet. and it is destroying communities. yeah, my house used to be about 20 feet, out where you see the water break. the island of shishmaref is on the front line of climate change. as temperatures rise, less sea ice forms, exposing the coast. it's getting later and later every year for this ocean to freeze up. it's tough. but... got to keep going. as the climate changes, the animals and fish the people here used to live on are getting harder to find. right now, we're supposed to be fishing in the lagoon and up the rivers. now we've got to wait until, like, december, probablyjanuary, to start going up again. parts of the main road have washed away, and now the airstrip that is the community's lifeline to the outside world is threatened. if it gets to the runway, then, we can't use it any more. we use the runway for medivacs, we use the runway for getting all our food flown in, all our mail. the plan is to move the entire town on to the mainland. it will cost an estimated $180 million, and means access to the sea will be much more difficult. but, says dennis, they've got no choice. what's happening here in shishmaref is ultimately going to happen in california, in new york. every community or city on the coast needs to know what the heck�*s going on here because, if not, they're going to start washing away. dennis wants what's happening to his community to stand as a warning to the world. justin rowlatt, bbc news, alaska. plenty more onjustin's trip on the website, as well. staying with the cop summit, a new report by oxfam has outlined just how unequal the burden of global emissions of greenhouse gases is. by 2030 to reach net zero, we can only emit as much co2 as the planet can absorb. the report looked at what emissions should be, if that amount was divided equally among every adult on the planet. without major change by 2030, researchers found the carbon footprint of the world's richest 1%, which will be classed as anyone earning more than $170,000, will be 30 times higher than what's needed to stop the planet from warming more than 1.5c. they then broadened that out to the richest 10%, which will include people earning over $55,000 a year, and found that group will emit nine times more than their share. it follows on from research last year that found that the 1% emit twice as much greenhouse gas emissions as the poorest 50% combined. we can speak now to the bbc�*s population reporter stephanie hegarty. the richest emit more. why is that? the richest emit more. why is that? the interesting _ the richest emit more. why is that? the interesting thing _ the richest emit more. why is that? the interesting thing is, _ the richest emit more. why is that? the interesting thing is, who - the richest emit more. why is that? the interesting thing is, who are i the interesting thing is, who are the richest 1%? we all think about the richest 1%? we all think about the super and their lifestyles, things like superyacht pea and private jets, things like superyacht pea and privatejets, they things like superyacht pea and private jets, they have things like superyacht pea and privatejets, they have huge emissions. the interesting thing here is that globally, the richest 1% is anyone earning over $170,000. that's about £120,000. that would be maybe the upper middle class here. things like having second homes, multiple cars in the house, eating a very meat intensive diet. maybe eating out a lot. these are things that are really contributing to the carbon footprint of the 1%. and that will be 30 times higher than what is needed if we were to all emit the amount to keep the planet at net zero. when you widen it out to the 10%, anyone earning over $55,000, that's about £30,000, that's the middle classes here stop to understand this better, i spoke to different families around the world and i spoke to a family in the us who drive three cars, they eat meat four or five times a week and they have to cool their home in the summer and heat it in the winter. compared to an english teacher i spoke to in the middle classes on a comfortable salary, he doesn't have ac, he doesn't have a car. he says they are for rich people. he takes a maupay to work. you can see how different the emissions in the middle classes are in wealthy countries and poor countries are —— he takes a maupay to work. to countries and poor countries are -- he takes a maupay to work.- he takes a maupay to work. to pick u n he takes a maupay to work. to pick u- on that he takes a maupay to work. to pick up on that point. — he takes a maupay to work. to pick up on that point, the _ he takes a maupay to work. to pick up on that point, the middle i he takes a maupay to work. to pick| up on that point, the middle classes are —— in less wealthy countries are doing more to reduce. == are -- in less wealthy countries are doing more to reduce.— are -- in less wealthy countries are doing more to reduce. -- he takes a moeds doing more to reduce. -- he takes a mopeds to — doing more to reduce. -- he takes a mopeds to work. _ doing more to reduce. -- he takes a mopeds to work. is _ doing more to reduce. -- he takes a mopeds to work. is that _ doing more to reduce. -- he takes a mopeds to work. is that education?

just over a third of the adult population has had two doses. the rate of vaccination has slowed across the continent in recent months. the world health organization says people have become complacent. european countries have the capacity, they have the vaccine access, they have the money, they have the systems in place that they can react. many other regions don't necessarily have those capacities in place, so i think it's a warning shot for the world to see what's happening in europe, despite the availability of vaccination. infections are up right across europe. germany had a record number of cases this week. in the netherlands, hospitalisations were up by almost a third, and latvia, lithuania and estonia are recording some of their highest daily figures. if we stay on this trajectory, we could see another half a million covid—19 deaths in europe and central asia by the 1st of february, next year. several european countries are now bringing back some restrictions, including mandatory face coverings, limits on nonessential shops, and encouraging people to work remotely. the us space agency, nasa, has unveiled a system it hopes it might use to protect the earth from asteroids. in what's being described as the first planetary defence test mission — a satellite will be launched into space — and crashed into a pair of asteroids — to try and change their course. the bbc�*s tim allman has the story. space is vast, and full of wonder. countless stars, countless planets and countless lumps of rock streaking through the cosmos. earth has always been a potential target, exposed and vulnerable — until now. this is a computer simulation of dart, the double asteroid redirection test, which could be our first line of defence if one of those lumps of rock comes heading our way. nature has given us a setup where we have an asteroid, a binary asteroid, that's approaching close to earth so that we can observe from earth—based observatories, but this is a test. and this is how the test will work. astronomers have long been aware of a pair of asteroids called didymos and dimorphous. sometime later next year, dart will target then, smash into them, trying to alter their course. these asteroids are no danger to us, but others might well be. if there was an asteroid that was a threat to the earth, what you'd want to do, this technique with would, be many years in advance, decades in advance, such that you would just give this asteroid a small nudge which would add up to a big change in its future position, and then the asteroid and the earth wouldn't be on a collision course. of course, earth hasn't always been so lucky. around 65 million years ago, a large asteroid crashed into our planets, asteroid crashed into our planet, killing off the dinosaurs. it's happened before. it could happen again. but dart may come to the rescue. tim allman, bbc news. it's been one of the most anticipated comebacks in pop. after a0 years, abba are finally back with a new studio album. in their only british tv interview, benny andersson and bjorn ulvaeus colin paterson, in stockholm about how the record eventually got from the group chatted to the bbc�*s entertainment correspondent, colin paterson, in stockholm about how the record eventually got made. stockholm is built on 1a islands, including skeppsholmen, where abba recorded voyage, their first album in a0 years. so, this is where a lot of the album was made, then, this is really abba hq? in that house. that's the studio, since ten years back. everything is done in there. the idea of making a whole album was not part of the original plan. abba had only gone back into the studio to record a couple of new tracks for next year's live show, which will feature digital recreations of the band in concert, looking like they did in 1979. we had two songs. we enjoyed those. we thought they were really good, so we said, "maybe we should do a couple more". and we did. and then we said, "maybe we should do a few more!" so we have an album. bjorn, he's sounding very laid back. have you got any more nerves? i mean, this is a big deal, a0 years between albums! yes! yes. it's, emotionally, very difficult to grasp, actually, that we did what we did. it's dawning on me now that it's actually happening, you know? we don't need to prove anything here. i don't think we're taking a risk, because if people think that we were better a0 years ago, fine. and the ladies were so happy, as were we, of course, but the ladies, mm, they can still do it! and they're also happy that they don't have to do this! yeah, why don't they? where are they? because we told them. we talked about it, we said, "if we do this, what's going to happen?" and they both said, "we don't want to do this". and we said, "we can take care of it". we're not as pretty as they are, but we do the work. # you're not the man- you should have been...# the album revisits old themes, including the end of a marriage. abba probably have the most famous divorces in pop, outside of fleetwood mac. does it get discussed still, were there big apologies to make this happen? i never talked about my divorce with anyone! apart from frida, at the time. no. # i've been reloaded, yeah.# and, as for the live show, featuring the so—called abbatars, it will have its premier next may in a purpose—built venue in london. the use of motion capture meant that abba spent five weeks performing the songs in a tv studio and sacrifices had to be made. i love the story. you had to shave the beards for the abbatar show. just how traumatic was that for you two? oh, no, again, just a decision. if it has to be done it has to be done. till the end, i tried! "is there no other way we can do this? "do i really, really have to?" oh, i hated it! oh, i looked weird! and i... i'll never shave it off again, that's for sure. but after waiting a0 years for abba to get back together, the reunion could be very short. i've said that's it, you know. i don't want to do another abba album. but, i mean, i'm not alone in this. the four of us... yeah. if they twist my arm, i might change my mind, but i think this is it... oh, good to know! good to know! where do you stand on it? i never say never, but i agree with benny, i think that was our goodbye. i think you could twist his arm, bjorn. the ladies might be able to do that. it'll take them to do it, actually! yeah, i think so. before we go, let's take you to italy, where one nativity scene this year is extremely topical. craftsmen in italy have given the three kings something else to carry when they visit babyjesus. yes, a covid vaccination certificate, as well as the gold, frankincense and myrrh. since each king has a covid pass, entering the manger doesn't present any issues. artists in naples create diferent nativity scenes each year to reflect the times. in 2020, the wise men wore masks and were socially distanced. tributes have been paid to the british veteran entertainer lionel blair, who's died at the age of 92. in a career spanning nearly 80 years, he worked with some of the biggest names in showbiz and established himself as a household name for generations. he was best known for his role as the team captain on the hit tv you're watching bbc news. now it's time for a look at the weather with matt. hello. with the temperature close to —5 in parts of oxfordshire this morning, it was the coldest night of autumn so far. but this weekend the frost will disappear. it will turn a little bit milder but on the flip side of that, we will see a bit of rain at times. still some dry and bright weather but quite windy, especially saturday night into sunday. gales or severe gales in the northern half of the uk. here we see most of the breeze today here but a gentle breeze for most. after that sunny but frosty start across parts of central and eastern england, most will cloud over. still some sunny spells here and there but cloudiest in north and west scotland with outbreaks of rain. sunniest for longest in the channel islands and parts of kent and sussex. after a chilly start, temperatures still only up to around 10 degrees, but we've lost the breeze of recent days, so perhaps it won't feel quite as cold. as we go into the evening and overnight, we started and overnight, we start to switch our winds into a more of a south—westerly direction. that brings lots of cloud across the country and eventually some heavy and persistent rain to the north and west of scotland. also seeing some splashes of rain across other western areas but note the temperatures, frost free tonight, much milder for many. that is because we are in this slice of milder air between two weather fronts. the bulk of the rain to begin with is closer to the area of low pressure. that is where are going to see the wettest conditions in the morning. scotland and northern ireland. persistent rain along western coasts of scotland during the morning. but that weather system will be on the move through the day. through the afternoon, scotland and northern ireland will brighten up. staying dry with some sunny spells in the southern counties of england and east anglia. but northern england, wales and the north midlands will see some outbreaks of rain develop as we go through the day. temperatures, though, across the board in the south—westerly winds will be higher than we have seen over the last day or so. as we go into the night, strong winds across the country, particularly in the north, with plenty of showers here. the weather fronts, which will only bring a little bit of rain through saturday evening in southern counties, will gradually depart. but this area of low pressure pushes its way east and we start to see the strongest of the winds through the night into sunday morning. we could see wins top 60, maybe 70 miles an hour in the far north of scotland. gales around the coast further south. it will be a blustery start to sunday. it will be quite a bright one, though, even though it is breezy. some showers around and most frequent across northern scotland. the odd one further south but many will have a predominantly dry day on sunday but after a slightly milder day on saturday, it will feel a bit cooler again. see you soon. this is bbc news. the headlines at 11... the chairman of yorkshire county cricket club resigns over the club's handling of racism experienced by one of its former players, azeem rafiq. roger hutton criticises the culture at the club, saying it refused to change — and he's accused the ecb of declining to help. former england captain michael vaughan says he was named in yorkshire's report on rafiq — but "totally denies any allegation of racism". a senior cabinet minister admits the government made a mistake over its handling of the owen paterson case — amid criticism of the prime minister. we made a mistake. we reflected within 2a hours. we made a mistake, collectively, and we've come to the commons and said, "look, let's separate these things out "and let's do this properly", because fairness is important. the role young people can play in tackling global warming young people gather to protest over climate change at the summit in glasgow. official figures show sexual harassment on public transport has jumped by nearly two thirds compared with before the pandemic. and here we go again — abba have told the bbc they would be willing to help end the uk's two—decade defeat at eurovision. the chairman of yorkshire cricket club, roger hutton, has resigned over the club's response to the racism experienced by one of its former players, azeem rafiq. it comes after an investigation found mr rafiq was a victim of "racial harassment and bullying" — after which the club said they would take no disciplinary action. mr hutton — who had been under mounting pressure to step down — "apologised unreservedly" to 30—year—old rafiq. he said the club "should have recognised at the time the serious allegations of racism". he also accused the club of "a culture that refuses to accept change or challenge". he was also highly critical of the england and wales cricket board, claiming the governing body "declined to help". the ecb have issued a statement responding to that saying... they want him to say that... —— they went on to say that... mr hutton's resignation came before an emergency board meeting today, amid calls for �*heads to roll�* at the club. azeem rafiq, who represented yorkshire in two stints between 2008 and 2018, said "institutional racism" at the club had left him close to taking his own life. an independent panel found the former player had been a victim of harassment and bullying well at the club but it took no action against any member of staff. this week, yorkshire batsman gary ballance said he regretted using a racial slur driven conversations with his xt mate. he has been suspended from england selection indefinitely. now the former england captain said he too was named in the pot for allegedly telling a group of asian players, including azeem rafiq, in 2009 that the team and if you lot. but in his telegraph column he writes... the club has been suspended from hosting international matches by the england and wales cricket board for what it called the wholly unacceptable handling

when... john holder is the only person of colour to have been an umpire in britain in 150 years of test cricket. he explained earlier that the problem runs much deeper than cricket itself. it is notjust cricket's problem, it's a society problem. this sort of language is used towards non—white people day in and day out in our country. this is probably one of the first times that a player has actually raised his head above the parapet and actually complained, but this has been going on... i mean, there are a couple of former surrey players, monte lynch and lonsdale skinner, who as youngsters upon joining surrey years ago were abused by the then surrey second xi coach. abused racially. abused racially. so this is nothing new. let's talk to simon hughes, editor of the cricketer magazine. yorkshire county to the club is now engulfed in scandal and controversy. what is your reaction to the resignation of the chair the board. i think it is really sad in a way because he is actually a reformer and he was trying his best to get the rest of the yorkshire board to understand the severity of this and he was also handed what you might call a hospital pass, really, because he arrived as chairman, really, when this whole issue was already under way. the investigation and the claims already under way so he took it on board and think she has tried his best to instigate cultural change, attitude change in the yorkshire establishment and the board generally. he has obviously failed because they were slow to deal with this and their general handling of it has been appalling and i guess he had to be the fall quy and i guess he had to be the fall guy but, in a way, someone designing like thisjust guy but, in a way, someone designing like this just destabilises

because there clearly are, sort of, two factions in the yorkshire board, some who feel that changes are necessary and some who feel it is absolutely fundamental and i guess it is not easy because some of these views are very entrenched and it is a very complicated story generally. azeem rafiq's hulk, kind of, korea is shrouded in controversy and it is very difficult getting to the bottom of it but in the end i guess most of the board will probably resign which, again, just delays the whole process. what we're trying to achieve here as cultural change and as soon as you get resignations you

very worried whenever we talk about this particular subject, saying, yes, it is kind of game wide, it is nationwide. i haven't seen it myself. you know, i haven't beenin seen it myself. you know, i haven't been in dressing rooms, county cricket dressing rooms for a few years but i certainly never saw any when i was playing and i've not heard of any, kind of, other major incidents but, you know, i'm a white male. you know, i'm not as sensitive to these kinds of issues is, obviously, agents or blacks would be so i suppose in a way sports reflect society —— asians. if it is going on in one place it probably is, generally, occurring in other teams as well. what i would say is i think cricket is a very culturally diverse spot, ethnically diverse sport. i think it is one of the better sports for embracing diversity. obviously, there is more that needs to be done but i'm in the middle, actually, of making a documentary at the moment about england's cricketing world cup team, the winning world cup in 2019 and that was the most incredibly diverse team with asians and west indian, people of west indian origin and obviously whites and people from yorkshire and so on and they were incredibly harmonious in the way they operated and that was actually a strength of the time. i’m they operated and that was actually a strength of the time.— a strength of the time. i'm 'ust auoin to

themselves forward to be considered as umpires and they had to start low down the spectrum. but as umpires and they had to start low down the spectrum.— down the spectrum. but they had to feel it was

announced his resignation after the government changed its mind over blocking his suspension from parliament for breaking lobbying rules. a senior cabinet minister has admitted the party made a �*mistake' in the way it handled the paterson controversy. our political correspondent damian grammaticas reports. let's talk to our political correspondent ione wells. there has been a furious backlash notjust in the media but also by opposition parties but also within the conservative party themselves that the many mps and government ministers as well pretty annoyed that they were, essentially, kind of, wheeled out to defend the government, to vote with the government, to vote with the government over this issue, only for them to backtrack on their plans and for owen paterson to then resign. now, early the x do my education secretary nadhim zahawi did accept that the government had made a mistake when it came to the judgment on this but it stops short of saying he would that mistake. i take collective responsibility. i'm part of the government, in part of the cabinet. i also take collective responsibility to say we made a mistake. and i think it was right for the leader of the house, jacob rees—mogg, on behalf of the government, to go to the house and say, actually, the mistake was we shouldn't have conflated the issue of fairness of process, so, the right of appeal, and i think that's right, and my appeal to other parliamentarians from all parties — let's come together to make that work. but we shouldn't have conflated that with the specific case of owen paterson. the prime minister's always been clear that paid lobbying is wrong and i think it's important that we separate those two things out and to admit a mistake, i think, is the right thing to do. and the grown—up thing to do. and assess me if you people feeling the heat of the survey, first of all the heat of the survey, first of all the prime minister not very happy he has led the charge that we like the troops to go and vote, defend the government, some of whom had to defend the government on the airways only for the plants to then be scrapped and they are pointing to the fact that this is the first time in the �*s leadership that the government have proposed plans only for a u—turn to then be announced days if not i later so certainly the prime minister got some heat on him yesterday and also the chief whip and murk spencer after mps were whipped with a three line whip to vote on the government on this issue. he is certainly feeling a lot of pressure on this today as well. i have been told that some mps who were considering of staining this vote, they were then told if they did do that they would certainly lose certain positions they had been given or sacrifice getting positions again in the future so certainly mps feel like they were given a lot of pressure to vote with the whip on that issue only for that decision to be changed but, interestingly, the farm at downing street chief of staff under theresa may says the mistake here was made by friends of owen paterson himself rallying around him for a cause mistakenly withoutjudging what around him for a cause mistakenly without judging what the around him for a cause mistakenly withoutjudging what the outcome of that would be. i withoutjudging what the outcome of that would be— that would be. i think it is clearly a terrible mistake _ that would be. i think it is clearly a terrible mistake that _ that would be. i think it is clearly a terrible mistake that number i that would be. i think it is clearly i a terrible mistake that number ten on the government as a whole made in trying to get owen paterson off the hook and change the rules. if you are asking me why it happened it is not easy for me to answer since it clearly, politically, was bad for the government, the conservative party and fell on himself but my best guess is that, and i don't think any of your viewers will have a lot of sympathy with it, but here goes. sometimes in life when one of ourfriends do something goes. sometimes in life when one of our friends do something wrong there is a sort of naturally see the best in them and in this case in particular, given the tragic events that one and his family have been through with his wife very suddenly taking her own life they would have been a lot of understandable compassion for him. so, you know, an apology from the cabinet ministers today. a screeching u—turn via the government. are there people in the conservative benches saying, look, they made a mistake but this was a mistake that was completely foreseeable well before it was made? that is right. there are certainly a lot of mps feeling like that. in fact, there were some mps even before this vote happened he were admitting that they were pretty glad that they weren't going to be voting on it for whatever reason. perhaps they weren't able to be present in parliament at the time and certainly there were mps at the time saying that they should have been foreseen, not just that they should have been foreseen, notjust because of the opposition that was likely to come from the office, the other side of the benches, from labour, from the snp, from the liberal democrats, but also within their own party, too. there are many, particularly some of those newer intake of mps were only elected in 2019 who feel like this is the case of some of the sort of, more old—timers, some of his friends, those closer to owen paterson, sort of, rallying around him and perhaps misjudging the fact that actually constituents and voters wouldn't be best pleased with the, sort of, image of this looking like people are rallying around to visit one of their own.— like people are rallying around to visit one of their own. as world leaders discuss climate action at the cop26 summit in glasgow, young people across the city are joining protests calling for more to be done. the swedish activist greta thunberg is there, and she's calling for more supporters tojoin in. well, last week a group called the alliance of ceo climate leaders this is the situation live in glasgow with lots of people gathered to protest. well, last week a group called the alliance of ceo climate leaders wrote an open letter to cop26 urging more action. one of its members isjesper brodin, the ceo of the ingka group, which runs ikea. he sin glasgow for the conference and joins me now. good morning to you. thanks so much forjoining us on bbc news. so, you have written collectively to the cop conference. what

corporate switch together, of course, have a huge responsibility when it comes to climate footprint and not only come together to collaborate and help each other commit and move the barrier to take responsibility and the climate but also saying that we need to address, show up to politicians, to the government, the leaders of the world, to both declare this is what we believe in and this is what we are ready to do but also what we want them to supporters with and the less then includes strong calls for, basically, facing out the wrong type of incentives —— phasing out the wrong type of incentives, help first movers but also get ready for mitigation for the period that we have ahead of us. it is fascinating to hear you _ have ahead of us. it is fascinating to hear you speak _ have

ahead of us. it is fascinating i to hear you speak like this are many people will welcome your general aspiration. is there not a fundamental contradiction in the source of business that you have with these aspirations? mean, you are selling goods to people and you need them to consume, you need them to buy more. that is your business model. , , , ., . , , model. yes. this is an incredibly

consumption is and will be part of humanity in the future. what we need to do now as fast as possible as part of the climate journey is to make sure that we go from linear to circular consumption model. that includes renewables and recyclability and, of course, all aspects of building and renewable energy and so forth into the model and that is totally unsynchronised with, basically, our own climate pledge, which is to be climate positive by 2030, and it is basically lined with all of the transition that needs to happen with an ikea, ikea's network, but also within society at large. 50 i an ikea, ikea's network, but also within society at large.— within society at large. so i hear our within society at large. so i hear your message — within society at large. so i hear your message about _ within society at large. so i hear your message about ending i within society at large. so i hear your message about ending the | your message about ending the reliance on fossil fuels but there is the other side of the coin which is the other side of the coin which is all about consumerism and getting people to buy more and i heard she used the word recyclability. i mean, the point is that people need to buy less, don't they? they need to hang onto their products more and that conflicts with what your business is about. how do you recognise these two things? i about. how do you recognise these two things?— two things? i would actually argue auainst two things? i would actually argue against that- _ two things? i would actually argue against that. so _ two things? i would

in our line of business, it is not so much about luxury consumption, it is people who need their bedroom to sleep in, kitchen to sit in, and that type of consumption is not going to go away. basically the challenge we are taking on is to make sure that that consumption is made in a sustainable way and we have lots of points that are already in place in many parts of our product and value chain so how do we actually create a circle around renewable consumption of the future? is that the coronet? if we then avoid unnecessary consumption it is, of course, bonus, but it is not going to be the only

a dispute over pensions. universities uk says changes are required to avoid escalating contribution costs. the vote does not mean that industrial action is inevitable. the university and college union is expecting the results of another ballot on pay and conditions later today. joining me now isjo grady the general secretary of the university and college union the ucu. good morning tea. what is going to happen now? academics at 37 institutions out have over 60 have supported this action. i do think this action is necessarylike is this action is necessarylike 3 important to say that first and foremost it is deeply regrettable that we hear again and it is not what anyone wanted after the last 18 months but to cut a long story short and it is your question our members are having their pensions cut after are having their pensions cut after a decade of cuts amounting to £240,000 from their pension and, at this moment in time, we are looking at a further 35% from their guaranteed pension income and if we are talking about action and disruption we were in dispute about this in 2018 and universities uk tried to launch a cut like this then and they said pretty much the exact same thing you just quoted, we can't go on like this, but they were wrong then and wrong now. this scheme is viable, has unprecedented assets of the many and what we're seeing is evaluation conducted in march 2020 which everyone watching will remember. the world was almost in a, kind of, a global economic shutdown and they are using that valuation to say either cost will increase benefits need to be cut and we are saying that is not the case and they to work with us, revoke those cuts, come up with some short—term solutions and then, as you say, action could be avoided altogether. but why should students be penalised for this ongoing row that you are having with universities? because academics took strike action in 2018, in 2019, last year before the pandemic staff at 74 universities held a strike, then we have a pandemic with 18 months, essentially, of disruption to university students education. how can you justify doing that again? i mean, i genuinely think the question needs to be because the disruption you havejust needs to be because the disruption you have just outlined needs to be because the disruption you havejust outlined is huge and when you list it like that i want to know why vice chancellors, many of her own earn 250, £300,000, i've allowed to keep mismanaging their institutions. these pension cuts are not required and our action, every time you just lifted it that push back the cuts they want to make, these are employee initiated disputes because they are intent on attacking staff pay and conditions and they are the same staff who went above and beyond the students during the last 18 months because the disruption that student housing the last 18 months was not the fault of staff in universities, it was the mismanagement by vice chancellors and the mismanagement by government and the mismanagement by government and i hear you and the mismanagement by government and i hearyou and i am and the mismanagement by government and i hear you and i am a former academic, in the general secretary of the union now but i used to teach. ourstudents of the union now but i used to teach. our students understand that our working conditions in their working conditions... i don't think any be watching this programme would accept a 35% reduction in their pension income when it doesn't need to happen. and that is why we are where we are. but to happen. and that is why we are where we are-— to happen. and that is why we are where we are. but students are, by and large. — where we are. but students are, by and large. pay _ where we are. but students are,

and that is the question for the people who are mismanaging these institutions. we don't charge fees and wouldn't we take strike action we lose pay. why vice chancellors to initiating industrial action when it is not required and we have actuarial advice, even uss, the company that manages the scheme have said employers can afford to pay more. evaluation, as i am saying, was conducted when we were literally in an economic shutdown. i understand and agree that student should be hopping mad. they should be hopping mad with the people who manage the institutions and he would rather see this

let's go back to that youth climate protest in glasgow — we can cross over to kelvingrove — where the march is starting — and join our correspondent, catriona renton. hi, there. we are looking like it is getting under way here now. you will see lying out there behind us —— lined up there behind us thousands of people getting ready to match. they have come to glasgow to go to a valley and there has been music and the star of the show, greta thunberg, defended the friday to future movement. —— friday to the future movement. —— friday to the future movement. —— friday to the future movement. we understand that she is somewhere in the middle of that massive crowd and there. of course, she is the person who initiated this whole movement when she sat outside asking swedish politicians to rescue climate change just might recognise climate change and i will today when you can see the size of this now global movement when people here from all over the world, we have spoken to people from russia, ireland, america, all over, to get their voices heard. they are saying that they want the people inside that conference whole to hear what. .. inside that conference whole to hear what... has to say. one of the organisers just telling me there that i can't wait for her generation to get into power for change that people have to hear them now and that that is why so many of them are taking to the streets. they say they will not be quiet until their voices are heard and what they say is very serious issue that has to be taken seriously and they need world leaders to deliver on the promises that they have made so far. they say that they have made so far. they say that they have made so far. they say that the hard work really begins now to make them deliver. it cannotjust be, as greta thunberg has been calling it, blah blah blah. it has got to be absolute action now, as they are saying now. you can see that there are thousands of people, families here as well, family atmosphere very much building. the police are here. there is a police presence. the organisers say that they have been working with the police, building links and looking forward to this day for two years now because of course this was all put off because of the pandemic so they have been working, they say, with the authorities, with the police were very long time to make today run as smoothly as possible. now you will see behind me that there are certainly more photographs being taken. it is looking like 1130 was the official kick—off time and it is looking like it is going to be 1130. i think they keep moving slightly closer to us so we are looking forward to seeing them walk past seeing who is on that score. it is notjust young people, but there are also striking been workers who have been striking throughout cop26 wanting to get their voice heard so this is a very serious issue with again serious issues in hand. katrina, many thanks. katrina went in there and apologies and some of the interference on the line there. now it's time for a look at the weather with matt , cloudy afternoon of the best part will be across sussex and kent and we could see showers around across western scotland but they are around northern ireland and western parts of wales and a dry day for a south—west england but temperatures should be up on recent days and still feeling chilly towards the southin still feeling chilly towards the south in the use. it will be milder tonight and for all of us in milder night with temperatures staying above frost levels by some degree, but later in the night persistent rain into the west of scotland and the highlands and western isles will sit through much of saturday morning. a few other showers in the west but it will turn wetter through northern ireland and into northern england, wales on the far north of the midlands. scotland and northern ireland brighten up in the afternoon into sunshine and showers but windy conditions to come from saturday night to sunday morning. more on that later. hello, this is bbc news. the headlines. the chairman of yorkshire county cricket club resigns over the club's handling of racism experienced by one of its former players, azeem rafiq. roger hutton criticises the culture at the club, saying it refused to change — and he's accused the ecb of declining to help. former england captain michael vaughan says he was named in yorkshire's report on rafiq — but "totally denies any allegation of racism". a senior cabinet minister admits the government made a mistake over its handling of the owen paterson case — amid criticism of the prime minister. of the prime minister. we made a mistake. we reflected within 24 hours. we made a mistake, collectively, and we've come to the commons and said, "look, let's separate these things out "and let's do this property", because fairness is important. young people gather to protest over climate change at the summit in glasgow. official figures show sexual harassment on public transport has jumped by nearly two thirds compared with before the pandemic. and here we go again, abba have told the bbc they would be willing to help end the uk's two decade defeat at eurovision. sport and for a full round—up, from the bbc sport centre. yorkshire county cricket�*s former chairman roger hutton has urged other board members to follow his lead and resign. he says its time to make way for a new path for the club which, he says, refuses to accept change or challenge. hutton was writing in a statement after his resignation. the club have also lost key sponsers and kit deals, after saying they won't take disciplinary action against employees, despite "racial harrassment and bullying" against azeem rafiq. hutton also apologised unreservedly to the former player. more resignations are expected to follow. the senior correspondent from the website cricinfo told us earlier this is a chance for the board to address its diversity issues. look, at the moment, all we're doing is knocking down. we have to rebuild. the question that naga asked is a personal one, really. we have to make sure the new yorkshire is better. i'm absolutely sure we can do that. today is a big day and there have to be new voices at that club. well, in a separate development, the former england captain michael vaughan says he was named in yorkshire's report into racism at the club but "totally denies any allegation of racism". according to vaughn, the report alledges he told a group of asian players, including rafiq: "too many of you lot, we need to do something about it." but vaughan says he "completely and categorically denies" saying that. earlier, we spoke to former england player mark ramprakash. azeem rafiq has also said, publicly, that whilst he has named people involved, it's not about those individuals. it's more about trying to get systemic change in a club like yorkshire, which change has proven to be very difficult. and the club, i think, has failed to evolve quick enough in the way that society is changing, and our attitudes towards race and racism. some rugby news now and the rfu have confirmed that owen farrell will miss the captain's run today ahead of tomorrows match with tonga after testing positive for covid. he'll remain in isolation ahead of another lateral flow and pcr test later today so it is not yet clear whether he will have to miss the game. meanwhile saracen's number 8 poppy cleall has been named as england women's captain for the first time when they face new zealand this sunday. regular skipper sarah hunter is on the bench as head coach simon middleton makes five changes to the side that beat the world champions last week. some football news just breaking in the last hour and barcelona are set to announce xavi hernandez�*s dramatic return to the club as coach — replacing ronald koeman who was sacked last month. xavi's current side — qatari club al sadd — have confirmed that a deal has been agreed, with barca paying a release clause. xavi has been coaching in qatar since 2019 and will now rejoin the club where he enjoyed huge success as a player. don't forget cricket's t20 world cup continues new zealand are up against namibia. both sides can still qualify for the semi finals. after being put into bat, new zealand are 156—4 in the final over later on india play scotland. there's

fishing rights. lord frost is meeting european commissioner maros sefcovic, with the uk and european union still at loggerheads over the northern ireland protocol. this is what he said before heading

there now i think this is around the third set of talks after a three—week set of technical discussions the two sides of had over what to do about the northern ireland protocol as people might be aware, the uk wants to make some wide—ranging, significant changes to the agreement that it did sign up to with the european union as to how arrangements with the northern ireland work and of course northern ireland work and of course northern ireland work and of course northern ireland stayed in the eu single market for goods in order to avoid checks between northern ireland and the republic of ireland but there have been concerns about disruption and deep concerns in the unionist community as well, so those are some of the issues at stake with the uk saying significant changes and the eu came forward with a set of proposals not long ago to cut checks and paperwork. the uk is basically so that what the eu has come up with is not enough and as you heard from lord frost, he says significant gaps remain and the question is how long can the process go on for. that was a question i asked lord frost as the right to talk to reporters and he was not being drawn at a timeframe but said time was running out. we expect something from the two sides later today as to how today's discussions with the european vice president have gone, but i expect from what i'm hearing from both sides that these talks will dribble on into next week. a teenager has been convicted of the killing of keon lincoln — a 15—year—old schoolboy who was stabbed and shot outside his home in birmingham earlier this year. yesterday four teenagers who took part in the attack — including the gunman, who s just 14 — were found guilty of murder. today, kieron donaldson who supplied the weapons but wasn t there when keon died, was convicted of manslaughter. our midlands correspondent phil mackie reports from birmingham crown court. yes, the verdict just yes, the verdictjust coming in which says that we

part of a new government campaign, people are being advised to open windows for 10 minutes each hour when socialising indoors. research shows that fresh air disperses covid particles and blows them away. reports of sexual harassment on public transport have gone up by 63% since pre—covid levels, according to figures from the british transport police. the force is cracking down on this behaviour, after setting up a specialist unit two years ago to tackle it. some victims say they're more encouraged to report incidents because of a rise in the coverage of violence against women. but others are still hesitant. meghan owen has more. when i take the tube, i want to feel like a man, not thinking about, "am i going to get raped or groped?" like millions of other women, mahalia gets public

coronavirus. with an increase in reporting and more of a focus on recording incidents of sexual harassment on public transport, it seems like a step in the right direction but we've spoken to many people, particularly women, who stillfeel people, particularly women, who still feel hesitant to report to the police. some people i've spoken to, predominantly women, are hesitant to report these incidents due to a lack of trust in the system at the moment. what would you say to them? i absolutely understand that but my request _ i absolutely understand that but my request is— i absolutely

seen as negative, we welcome the increased reporting of sexual offences because it tells us that more people are understanding that more people are understanding that all types of unwarranted sexual behaviour are acceptable and having the confidence to tell us what has happened to them. that is a statement from british transport police. let's go back now to the news about the further conviction in the death of keon lincoln. phil mackie is at birmingham crown court. ciaran donaldson was the fifth defendant in this case, his 18 years old, and all of them are teenagers who have been convicted in the killing of keon lincoln and he was committed on a majority decision of manslaughter rather than murder and had not been part of the attack in which keon died injanuary in broad daylight outside his house in handsworth but had supplied the weapons which were used in the attack. keon lincoln was a 15 —year—old schoolboy who would have been 16 injuly this year, typical, fun loving boy according to his family who had been taking part in lessons that day because we were in lockdown and had gone out to speak to someone in the street when i wiped a stolen car up and outjumped a number of people armed with knives and a gun and killed him. the whole attack was captured on cctv which was certain ? shown in court and lasted barely 40 seconds. the government is a 14—year—old who was convicted of murder yesterday along with his 16 —year—old friend and two others. reports need to be carried out on the two youngest, the 14 and 16—year—old, and there were two other people involved in the attack who have not been detained and went on trial here. the driver of the car and another person carrying a knife and another person carrying a knife and seen on the cctv. they've not been identified and west midlands police are still trying to find out who they were carrying out investigations and they have arrested two people have been released under investigation. keon's mother charmaine has been in court through the week while the jury have been deliberating and i spoke to her and saw her often during the process and saw her often during the process and it's been a very difficult time of her and she's been quite upset at times so we don't know she will come out but we do think that they felt if these people were convicted it would give them a milestone on the way to closure at the end of this case, so a reminder, for teenagers convicted of murder yesterday and another teenager convicted of manslaughter today. phil matthew their reporting outside birmingham crown court. the drug

significant. it is. you remember- last year we had a raft of companies reporting positive results from their vaccines for covid and we are starting to see the same thing this year but this time it's not vaccines, it is treatments, so it's aimed at people who have already caught covid who might be vulnerable, elderly, have underlying health conditions so we had the uk drugs regulator approving the first pill to treat covid in that way and today clinical trial results for a different bill developed by pfizer, and again they are very, very strong, so this one, if you give this pill in the trial within three to five days of catching covid, then it cuts the risk of hospitalisation in that very vulnerable group by 89%, which is very positive. there were no deaths at all from covid in the group that took the pill and in the group that took the pill and in the group that took the dummy pill, the group that took the dummy pill, the placebo in this trial, there were ten deaths, so these are the kind of treatments that are likely to be used going forward. they won't be for everyone, they will be for that very much smaller group of vulnerable, elderly people that might and if it from treatment like this. the uk has already ordered 250,000 causes of this pfizer drug. no details on when it will be available but you imagine they will push for authorisation from the regulatory bodies soon. jim. push for authorisation from the regulatory bodies soon. jim, thank ou ve regulatory bodies soon. jim, thank you very much- — its day five of cop26 — the climate change conference in glasgow. today s all about hearing from young people and looking at how important education is when it comes to climate issues. we re spending the day at a school in birmingham, that s using the day to get kids more involved with the environment of their local community, and what they can do to reduce air pollution on their journey to school. let's cross over to the saltley academy, tojoin the bbc asian network's pria rai. yes, rita, as you say, at cop26 it's a letter about what the politicians have to die and more about what young people want to see for their futures because at the end of the day, whatever we do or don't hear from cop26, it's going to affect the future lives of children, young people, the very people who are around me. now where i am at the sulkily academy, we are not too far from allan rock, and there's about 1,200 kids to go to the school and it's an area that is one of the most populated parts of birmingham city and also got one of the youngest demographics as well. some of the climate issues that affect children at a school like this are things like high levels of air pollution and a lack of access to green spaces and a lack of access to green spaces and i've got peter

da . a , here will be doing throughout the da. . now it's time for a look at the weather with matt. with a temperature close to —5 in parts of oxfordshire this morning it was the coldest night of autumn so far but this weekend the frost will disappear and it will turn milder but on the flip side we will see a bit more rain at times and there will be dry and bright weather but it will be quite windy, especially saturday night into sunday with gales or severe gales in the northern half of the uk. it's here we see most of the breeze today, but a gentle breeze for most and after the sunny but frosty start across central and eastern england most will cloud over and there will be sunny spells here and there and it is cloudy and north—west along with outbreaks of rain and certainly in the channel islands and parts of kent and sussex. after a chilly start temperature is still only up to 10 but we've lost the breeze of recent days and it won't feel quite as cold. as we go into the evening and overnight we start to switch the wind into a south—westerly direction which brings lots of cloud across the country and heavy and persistent rain to the north and west of scotland and we're also seeing splashes of rain across western but not the temperatures and it will be a frost free night and much milder night tonight. that is because we are in this slice of milder air sandwiched between two weather fronts and the bulk of the rain is closer to the area of low pressure where we will see the wettest conditions in scotland and northern ireland with persistent rain along the western coast of scotland during the western coast of scotland during the morning but the weather system will be on the move through the day so through the afternoon scotland and northern ireland will brighten up and northern ireland will brighten up and it will stay dry and sunny spells in the southern counties of england, but northern england, wales on the north midlands will see outbreaks of rain developers we go through the day. temperatures across the board in the south—westerly winds will be higher than we have seen the past day or so. as we go into the night, strong winds across the country, particularly in the north with plenty of showers here and the weather fronts which will only bring a bit of rain through saturday evening in southern counties will gradually depart but as the low pressure pushes eastwards we see the strongest of the winds through the night into sunday morning we could see them top 60 or 70mph in the far north of scotland and gales around the coast further south, so it will be a blustery start to sunday and quite bright one though, even though it is breezy. some showers around, most frequent in northern scotland and the odd one further south but many will have a predominantly dry day on sunday but after a milder day on saturday it will feel that cooler again. see you soon. this is bbc news. the headlines... the chairman of yorkshire county cricket club resigns over the club's handling of racism experienced by one of its former players, azeem rafiq. roger hutton criticises the culture at the club, saying it refused to change — and he's accused the ecb of declining to help. the drug company, pfizer, says it's developed a new covid pill that's 89% effective at preventing hospitalisation and death in adults at risk of developing severe disease. a teenager has been convicted of the killing of 15 year—old keon lincoln, who was stabbed and shot outside his home in birmingham earlier this year. a senior cabinet minister admits the government made a mistake over its handling of the owen paterson case — amid criticism of the prime minister. look, we made a mistake. we reflected within 2a hours. we made a mistake, collectively, and we've come to the commons and said, "look, let's separate these things out "and let's do this properly", because fairness is important. young people gather to protest over climate change at the summit in glasgow. and here we go again — abba have told the bbc they would be willing to help end the uk's two decade defeat at eurovision. good afternoon. the chairman of yorkshire cricket club, roger hutton, has resigned over the club's response to the racism experienced by one of its former players, azeem rafiq. it comes after an investigation found mr rafiq was a victim of "racial harassment and bullying" — after which the club said they would take no disciplinary action. mr hutton — who had been under mounting pressure to step down — "apologised unreservedly" to 30—year—old rafiq. he said the club "should have recognised at the time the serious allegations of racism". he also accused the club of "a culture that refuses to accept change or challenge". he was also highly critical of the england and wales cricket board, claiming the governing body "declined to help". the ecb have issued a statement responding to that. it said... his resignation came before an emergency board meeting today, amid calls for �*heads to roll�* at the club. azeem rafiq, who represented yorkshire in two stints between 2008 and 2018, said "institutional racism" at the club had left him close to taking his own life. simonjones reports. "a club with a culture that refuses to accept change or challenge." the words of the outgoing chairman roger hutton as he apologised unreservedly to azeem rafiq, saying he had not been shown care or contrition. an independent panel found that the former player had been a victim of racial harassment and bullying while at the club, but it took no action against any member of staff. this week, yorkshire batsman gary ballance said he regretted using a racial slur driven conversation with his ex—teammate. he's been suspended from england selection indefinitely. now the former england captain michael vaughan says he too was named in the report for allegedly telling a group of asian players, including rafiq, in 2009 that there were "too many of you lot." but in his telegraph column he writes... the club has been suspended from hosting international matches by the england and wales cricket board for what it calls the "wholly unacceptable handling" of azeem rafiq's racism claims. it's really important the ecb sends a message to cricket fans across the country that we will not stand for this, that racism and anything to do with racism and discrimination of any kind has absolutely no place in the game. the departing chairman is calling for more people to go and says he looks forward to the day when yorkshire cricket club is a great club again. simon jones, bbc news. john holder is the only person of colour to have been an umpire in britain in 150 years of test cricket. he said the problems run much deeper than cricket itself. it is notjust cricket's problem, it's a society problem. this sort of language is used towards non—white people day in and day out in our country. this is probably one of the first times that a player has actually raised his head above the parapet and actually complained, but this has been going on... i mean, there are a couple of former surrey players, monte lynch and lonsdale skinner, who as youngsters upon joining surrey years ago were abused by the then surrey second xi coach — abused racially. so this is nothing new. earlier i spoke to simon hughes, editor of the cricketer magazine for his reaction to today's events. well, i think it's really sad, in a way, because, actually, he is a reformer and he was trying his best to get the rest of the yorkshire board to understand the severity of this. and he was also handed what you might call a hospital pass, really, because he arrived as chairman, really, when this whole issue was already under way. the investigation and the claims were already under way, so he took it on board and think he's tried his best to instigate cultural change, attitude change in the yorkshire establishment and the board generally. he's obviously failed because they were slow to deal with this and their general handling of it has been appalling and i guess he had to be the fall guy but, in a way, someone resigning like thisjust destabilises and delays the ultimate opportunity for change. yeah, it's interesting you say that because in a statement he released earlier this morning roger hutton says that azeem rafiq left the club in august 2018, 18 months before he actuallyjoined the board. i mean, there is a board meeting going on right now. what do you suppose is being said? i think there'll be a lot of mudslinging going on because there clearly are, sort of, two factions some who feel that change isn't necessary and some who feel it's absolutely fundamental and i guess it is not easy because some of these views are very entrenched and it's a very complicated story generally. azeem rafiq's whole, kind of, career is shrouded in controversy and it is very difficult getting to the bottom of it, but in the end i guess most of the board will probably resign, which, again, just delays the whole process. what we're trying to achieve here as cultural change and as soon as you get resignations and need time to reappoint new people, thatjust delays the opportunity for change. that was simon hughes of the cricketer magazine talking to me a little earlier. a teenager has been convicted of the killing of keon lincoln — a is—year—old schoolboy who was stabbed and shot outside his home in birmingham earlier this year. yesterday four teenagers who took part in the attack — including the gunman, who s just iii — were found guilty of murder. today, kieron donaldson who supplied the weapons but wasn t there when keon died, was convicted of manslaughter. phil mackie reports this was keon lincoln, a typical teenager messing around

effective. the product is called paxlovid, and it is reported to have achieved an 89% reduction in the risk of hospitalization or death — that's among adult patients with coronavirus who are at high risk of progressing to severe illness. we are starting to see the same thing this year but this time it's not vaccines, it is treatments, so it's aimed at people who have already caught covid who might be vulnerable, elderly, have underlying health conditions so we had the uk drugs regulator approving the first pill to treat covid in that way and today clinical trial results for a different pill this time developed by the us drug company pfizer, company pfizer, and, again, they're very, very strong, so this one, if you give this pill in the trial within three to five days of catching covid, then it cuts the risk of hospitalisation in that vulnerable group by 89%, which is very positive. there were no deaths at all from covid in the group that took the pill. in the group that took the dummy pill, the placebo in this trial, there were ten deaths. so you can see these are the kind products, the kind of treatments that are likely to be used going forward. they won't be for everyone, they will be for that very much smaller group of vulnerable, elderly people that might and if it from treatment like this. the uk has already purchased 250,000 causes of this pfizer drug. no details yet on when it will become available. you'd imagine that they will push for authorisation from the drug regulatory bodies very soon. new statistics and from the office of national statistics. they say one in 50 people had covid—19 which is the equivalent of about 1.1 million people, the same proportion of people estimated to have coronavirus at the peak of the second wave in early january so that is the latest from the office for national statistics. we're going to show you now some pictures from outside the cop26 summit in glasgow where protesters have been gathering, this is a youth

commentary on slive sports extra and coverage on the website bbc.co.uk/sport but for me, i will see a lot of them one o'clock news at 130. i can. labour has ruled out standing aside in favour of a cross—party "anti—sleaze" candidate in the by—election to replace the tory mp owen paterson. mr paterson announced his resignation after the government changed its mind over blocking his suspension from parliament for breaking lobbying rules. a senior cabinet minister has admitted the party made a 'mistake' in the way it handled the paterson controversy. earlier i spoke to our political correspondent lone wells. this is the latest development in what has been around bubbling over for the last couple of days now and since owen paterson's resignation and since the government's u—turn over its plans to, essentially, overhaul the system via which mp�*s conduct is policed and judged there has been a furious backlash notjust in the media but also by opposition parties but also within the conservative party themselves. there aren't many mps and government ministers as well pretty annoyed that they were, essentially, kind of come that wheeled out to defend the government, to vote with the government, to vote with the government on this issue, only for them to backtrack on their plans and for owen paterson to then resign. early at the education secretary nadhim zahawi did accept that the government had made a mistake when it came to theirjudgment on this but did stop short of saying who exactly made a mistake. i take collective responsibility. i'm part of the government, in part of the cabinet. i also take collective responsibility to say we made a mistake. and i think it was right for the leader of the house, jacob rees—mogg, on behalf of the government, to go to the house and say, actually, the mistake was we shouldn't have conflated the issue of fairness of process, so, the right of appeal, and i think that's right, and my appeal to other parliamentarians from all parties — let's come together to make that work. but we shouldn't have conflated that with the specific case of owen paterson. the prime minister's always been clear that paid lobbying is wrong and i think it's important that we separate those two things out and to admit a mistake, i think, is the right thing to do, and the grown—up thing to do. so, nadhim zahawi they're accepting that the government had made a mistake but notes that he didn't exactly say who took the ultimate decision for this, who exactly is to blame for that mistake which the government is now feeling under pressure from. now, there are certainly a few individuals who are feeling the heat of this today. first of all, of course the prime minister, some of his own mps not very happy that he, sort of, led the charge there to wheel out the troops, essentially, to go and vote and defend the government, some of whom had to defend the airwaves only for the plans to then be scrapped. and it has been pointed out that this is in the first time in a boris johnson's leadership that the government have proposed plans only for a u—turn to then be announced days if not even i later so certainly the finest are feeling some heat on this today. also the chief whip and murk spencer after mps were whipped with the three line whip to vote with the government on this issue. now, he's set me feeling a lot of pressure from this today as well. i've been told by some mps who were considering abstaining on this vote that they were then told if they did do that they would potentially lose certain positions that they had been given or sacrifice getting certain positions, again, in the future, so certainly mps feel like they were given a lot of pressure to vote with the whip on this issue only for that decision to be changed. but, interestingly, the former to downing street chief of staff under theresa may gavin barwell says the mistake here was made by friends of owen paterson himself rallying around him for a cause mistakenly withoutjudging cause mistakenly without judging what cause mistakenly withoutjudging what the outcome of that would be. i think it's clearly a terrible mistake that number 10 and the government as a whole made in trying to get owen paterson off the hook and change the rules. if you're asking me why it happened, it's not easy for me to answer because it clearly politically was bad for the government, the conservative party and for owen himself, but my best guess is that — and don't think many of your viewers will have a lot of sympathy with it, but here goes... that sometimes in life, you know, when one of our friends does something wrong there is a, sort of, natural see the best in them, and in this case in particular, given the tragic events that owen and his family have been through, with his wife very sadly taking her own life, there would have been a lot of understandable compassion for him. hmm. so an apology from the cabinet minister today, a screeching u—turn by the government. other people in the conservative benches saying, look, they made a mistake but this was a mistake that was completely foreseeable well before it was made? that is right. there are certainly a lot of mps feeling like that. in fact, there were some mps even before this event happened we were admitting that they were pretty glad that they weren't going to be voting on it for whatever reason. perhaps they weren't able to be present in parliament at the time and certainly there were mps at the time saying that this should have been foreseen, not just that this should have been foreseen, notjust because of the opposition that was likely to come from the other side of the benches, from labour, from the snp, from the liberal democrats, but also within their own party, too. there are many, particularly some of those newer intake of mps who were only elected in 2019 who feel like this was a case of some of the, sort of, more old—timers, some of his friends, those closer to owen paterson sort of rallying around him and perhaps misjudging the fact that actually constituents and voters wouldn't be best pleased with the image of this that people like him actually rallying round to protect one of their own. lone wells reporting there. as part the event programme at the cop26, the wildlife charity born free will be hosting and chairing a 'state of the earth' event — with a key focus on habitat, wildlife protection and animal welfare at home and abroad. the session will be based on the format of the bbc�*s question time. to tell us

species that are threatened with extinction at the moment that many of them are threatened because of anthropocentric change, that means things that humans are doing, whether they destroying habitat whether they destroying habitat whether they destroying habitat whether they asked polluting our seas or our air and also what we are doing to the climate, which is making the climate intolerable to certain species. species that can't adapt. i mean, one of the fundamental things about human beings is that we adapt to circumstances far better than animals, otheranimals are, because they've evolved to live in a niche and can't, kind, move anywhere else. polar bears cattle and live somewhere else. they have to live where they've evolved to live so it is going to be a fascinating event. virginia,

and also was in charge of all the animal work we did on the film. he was a total inspiration, completely devoted to saving and protecting wildlife in the point, in the wild, not in captivity, and so, really, through that, and then my husband bill, his life changed completely, more than mine at first because he started to make documentary films and he stopped, in a way, being an actor and became a film producer. we made many, many films about wild animals and it was the death of an elephant at london zoo that started our work all those many years ago and we were called zoo check because we were looking at wild life in captivity and i was fervently opposed to that today as i was then. find fervently opposed to that today as i was then. �* . fervently opposed to that today as i was then. �* ,

people to become involved but the next stage is, frankly, to move from what i would call blue—chip productions to activist productions, so we need to turn our passive viewing into activism because without taxes is nothing will change, which is why both virginia and i are so pleased to be involved with the new impact from cult ego flex. so, think netflix but call it ego flicks and i am sure other platforms of available but the deal there is that you watch, you engage, you won power, and the new act, and it is going to be packed full of difficult subjects but told in a positive way because we can be consumed with despair and, as sir david said, at cop himself, actually, what we need is hope. and mayjust actually, what we need is hope. and may just add actually, what we need is

these are not the people who have come from the rally or the march, they have come straight to george square and it's a realfamily come straight to george square and it's a real family atmosphere and young people picnicking on the grass, blowing bubbles and also behind me you can see the stage behind me you can see the stage behind me you can see the stage behind me which is set up for later and we will be hearing speeches there and i think we will be hearing from greta thunberg, the swedish activist later on this afternoon and as i said, we are here in the centre of glasgow, in the city centre and the rally and march, they will be coming about a mile and a half away and we might see them arriving in a square in the next hour but they will be coming from kelvingrove park and we expect at least a couple of thousand, and then the speeches will happen here and we expect to hear from greta thunberg and were not sure exactly what she will say but there is a helicopter above me as well so we are fighting against the noise, but greta thunberg has said about cop26 that this is not a climate conference and she said this was two weeks of celebrating business as usual and more blah, blah, blah. she is likely to repeat the phrase upon the stage later that she's become famous for later in glasgow. she's become famous for later in glasuow. ~ ., ., she's become famous for later in

today there was a frost across a large part of england to begin with but in all areas temperatures edging up a little as we go into the weekend and with more cloud around and even though the cloud around and even though the cloud is increasing, most places are dry and you might encounter more in the hills of cumbria especially north—west scotland although to the east of the high ground, still some sunshine and for much of the day in the far east of england, and temperatures are higher than they have been but feeling chilly in east anglia and south—east england. a largely dry bonfire night but further rest in northern scotland and no frost around tonight, so these are the temperatures as we start the day tomorrow. with a lot of cloud around to move through scotland and northern ireland into northern england, especially to the west of the pennines, the midlands, eastern and southern england seeing dry weather bar a few showers until we get into the evening with light and patchy rain around and temperatures between ten and 40 c and a windier day than normal. hello, this is bbc news. the headlines. the chairman of yorkshire county cricket club resigns over the club's handling of racism experienced by one of its former players, azeem rafiq. roger hutton criticises the culture at the club, saying it refused to change — and he's accused the ecb of declining to help. the drug company, pfizer, says it's developed a new covid pill that's 89% effective at preventing hospitalisation and death in adults at risk of developing severe disease. a teenager has been convicted of the killing of 15 year—old keon lincoln, who was stabbed and shot outside his home in birmingham earlier this year. a senior cabinet minister admits the government made a mistake over its handling of the owen paterson case — amid criticism of the prime minister. we made a mistake. we reflected within 2a hours. we made a mistake, collectively, and we've come to the commons and said, "look, let's separate these things out "and let's do this properly", because fairness is important. young people gather to protest over climate change at the summit in glasgow. and here we go again, abba have told the bbc they would be willing to help end the uk's two decade defeat at eurovision. the brexit minister lord frost says there's still a significant gap between the uk and the eu as he continues talks in brussels on disputes over northern ireland and fishing rights. lord frost is meeting european commissioner maros sefcovic, with the uk and european union still at loggerheads over the northern ireland protocol. this is what he said before heading into the talks this morning. we hope to make some progress, but honestly, the gap between us is still quite significant, but let's see where we can get to. will you trigger article 16 today? we will not trigger article 16 today but article 16 is very much on the table and has been sincejuly. is that likely would increase in? is it becoming a closer prospect? time is running out on these talks and if we are to make progress, we need to make it soon and our preference is to make progress and see if we can reach an agreement. what would it take to not trigger article 16? if we can reach an agreement, potential agreement, on the protocol that provides a sustainable solution then that is the best way forward. how long can these talks stretch on for before you make a decision? i'm not going to give any timescales, or any hypotheticals. we're trying to reach agreement and we are working hard and we are going to carry on trying. is there anything that can happen in today's talks that would change the cause of progress? there is a significant gap between us and if that gap narrows and the commission listens to what we have said in the command paper and look at the situation in northern ireland then maybe that will help us move things forward. thanks very much, everybody. brussels correspondent jessica parker is there now i think this is around the third set of talks after a three—week set of technical discussions the two sides had over what to do about the northern ireland protocol and as people might be aware, the uk wants to make some wide—ranging, significant changes to the agreement that it did sign up to with the european union as to how arrangements with northern ireland work and of course northern ireland stayed in the eu single market for goods in order to avoid checks between northern ireland and the republic of ireland but there have been concerns about disruption and deep concerns in the unionist community as well, so those are some of the issues at stake with the uk saying it wants significant changes and the eu came forward with a set of proposals not long ago to cut checks and paperwork. the uk is basically saying that what the eu has come up with is not enough and as you heard from lord frost, he says significant gaps remain and the question is how long can the process go on for. that was a question i asked lord frost as he arrived to talk to reporters and he was not being drawn at a timeframe but said time was running out. we expect something from the two sides later today as to how today's discussions with the european vice president have gone, but i expect from what i'm hearing from both sides that these talks will dribble on into next week. we're reaching the end of the week at cop26 — the climate change conference in glasgow. today s all about hearing from young people and looking at how important education is when it comes to climate issues. we re spending the day at a school in birmingham, that s using the day to get kids more involved with the environment of their local community, and what they can do to reduce air pollution on their journey to school. let's cross over to the saltley academy, to join the bbc asian network's pria rai. yes, as you say, the focus at cop26 todayis yes, as you say, the focus at cop26 today is not the focus on politicians as much and we might hear strategies to reward kids for climate action but it's more about what students and young people want for their futures but sultry academy is not far from a place called alum rock are not far from birmingham city centre ? saltley academy. it's a very urban environment and very built—up and that is something they're trying to do something about at school because a recent report from the environment agency suggests that if everybody did have more access to green spaces, it would actually save the nhs around £2,000,000,000 in treatment costs so it is something important and i've got peter white, the head teacher with me here and access to green space, giving the kids a connection with nature is something you are passionate about and you're trying to do something

in trying to fix it? these are the big questions at the heart of climate justice. the poorest and most vulnerable people around the world are the least likely to cause the pollution leading to climate change. if you look at the greenhouse gas emissions that are heating the planet up, the richest 1% of the earths population are responsible for more than the poorest 50%, yet the poor are often the most likely to be affected by its most detrimental impacts. farmland turning into desert, sea level rises threatening homes or extreme weather events like flash floods and wildfires. these things can happen anywhere, but the poorest countries have far fewer resources to deal with them. climate justice all means taking account of historical emissions and it is true that china produces the most greenhouse gases in the world at the moment but over the last 250 years, the us and europe have produced far more. the rich world has accepted responsibility for these emissions but our promise to send $io0,000,000,000 a but our promise to send $100,000,000,000 a year to developing countries by 2020, to help them adapt to climate change and to build a greener economy is in the future hasn't yet been met. climate justice is not only about numbers. it's really about people. the school strikes were climate have drawn a lot of attention to this, demanding that fair solutions are found between rich and poor. that means supporting the very poorest countries in making sure they are not forced to take on huge amounts of debt, but also tackling inequality between people in richer societies. whether it's about how you heat your home or maybe the switch to electric cars, forcing change onto people who can't afford it isn't going to work. so governments are going to have to help people pay for it. a tax on carbon is one suggestion, so people and especially companies that use the most pay the most. whatever happens, it's going to cost a lot less than acting too slowly to deal with global warming, and there is good reason to believe that the green revolution can create millions of newjobs around the world. but whether you look at the whole world orjust whether you look at the whole world or just a whether you look at the whole world orjust a local area where you live, the transition to a more sustainable economy and sustainable planet is only going to work if it's going to be fair. the uk s largest membership body of therapists has raised concerns that unqualified practitioners, who offer mental health treatments online, are potentially exploiting vulnerable people seeking help. the british association for counselling and psychotherapy is calling for more awareness of the correct way to seek help from registered professionals. reporterjordan dunbar has been to meet those affected. itjust kind of hit me out of the blue. i was struggling quite bad, so, i wanted help quite urgently. jake suffered badly with anxiety in his last year of university. he started to look for support and treatment online. he soon came across attracting advertising on social media, promising to cure anxiety and backed with lots of patient recommendations. when a person has got quite a large following and has had ocd and has got over it and is now treating, you know, you think that that's a great sign. because, firstly, they know how to get you better and, secondly, they've been through it. so you think you've struck gold. and you haven't. jake signed up for phone sessions but the treatment wasn't what he expected. and things started to go wrong. so, you could buy individual sessions and they would be, you know, much more expensive. £200 and, you know, getting to nearly £300. the sessions would consistently be cut short. the lowest for me was 20 minutes of a 50 minute session, which is less than half then you should get. so you got your money back, right? no compensation, no mention of, "ok, that session was cut short, but will make it up or you can have another one". the government advises people to seek treatment from practitioners who are part of professional bodies on the professional standards authorities register, because there will be things like a complaints system and a code of ethics. currently, it's completely legal in the uk for anyone to call themselves a therapist, psychotherapist, or a counsellor. you don't need any training or any qualifications. the training that i went through was really rigorous. it was really demanding. i feel angry for members of the public, who are potentially being exploited by these people. and harmed. what harm is being done. laura tried to find mental health support online, too. she was looking for help with her ocd symptoms when she was approached on social media by a company offering to cure her. part of her treatment required her to film herself. we were asked to video ourselves in distress, . to show the world, basically. and it was... we were told that it - would be helping people. so, you know, you felt guilty. and if it wasn't quite right, l we were told to do it again. and so, you're in distress, i then try to act, you know... and it was just so unethical. as the popularity and amount of mental health treatment online increases, there are growing calls to look at tightening up the regulations in the industry, to make sure that treatment is helping patients and not harming them. jordan dunbar, bbc news. and you can watch the programme "i can cure you: online mental health cures" here on the bbc news channel on saturday the 6th november at 8.30pm. it'll be repeated on sunday 7th november at 2.30pm. tributes have been paid to the veteran entertainer lionel blair, who's died at the age of 92. ina career spanning nearly 80 years, he worked with some of the biggest names in showbiz and established himself as a household name for generations. he was best known for his role as the team captain on the hit tv series, give us a clue. its been one of the most anticipated comebacks in pop. after 40 years, abba are finally back with a new studio album. in their only british tv interview, benny andersson and bj rn ulvaeus from the group chatted to the bbc�*s entertainment correspondent colin paterson in stockholm about how the record eventually got made. stockholm is built on 1a islands, including skeppsholmen, where abba recorded voyage, their first album in 40 years. so, this is where a lot of the album was made, then, this is really abba hq? in that house. that's the studio, since ten years back. everything is done in there. the idea of making a whole album was not part of the original plan. abba had only gone back into the studio to record a couple of new tracks for next year's live show, which will feature digital recreations of the band in concert, looking like they did in 1979. we had two songs. we enjoyed those. we thought they were really good, so we said, "maybe we should do a couple more". and we did. and then we said, "maybe we should do a few more!" so we have an album. bjorn, he's sounding very laid back. have you got any more nerves? i mean, this is a big deal, 40 years between albums! yes! yes. it's, emotionally, very difficult to grasp, actually, that we did what we did. it's dawning on me now that it's actually happening, you know? we don't need to prove anything here. i don't think we're taking a risk, because if people think that we were better 40 years ago, fine. and the ladies were so happy, as were we, of course, but the ladies, mm, they can still do it! and they're also happy that they don't have to do this! yeah, why don't they? where are they? because we told them. we talked about it, we said, "if we do this, what's going to happen?" and they both said, "we don't want to do this". and we said, "we
