the last day of cop26. the day when the final agreement between the nations is published — arguably the most important document that will emerge from the conference in glasgow — because unlike the last major climate conference in paris in 2015, what emerges here will not be a new treaty, but a series of decisions and resolutions that build on the paris accord. so what do we know already? the us and china say they'll work towards keeping global heating to 1.5 degrees, a goal set out in the 2015 paris agreement. and the cop26 draft agreement calls out fossil fuels as the main culprits of climate change for the first time. major financial institutions, with a combined net worth of around $130 trillion dollars, have also said they want to help bring global emissions down to zero. eliot whittington is the director of the uk and european corporate leaders groups at the university of cambridge institute for sustainability leadership. of the pledges we've seen this week, which are the most gamechanging for the climate? one of the things that is really hard to tell because there are so many pledges and a variety of government commitments, business and financial commitments and there is not a common framework. that is not a common framework. that is one of the things we have to work on coming out of glasgow. i think you have talked about the finest commitment. that is a huge. deforestation, that is the first time we have had so many countries commit to address deforestation which is address deforestation which is a big source of admission. also methane. it will be a key in terms of advancing change that will keep us on track. haw terms of advancing change that will keep us on track.— will keep us on track. how do ou will keep us on track. how do you think _ will keep us on track. how do you think these _ will keep us on track. how do you think these policies - will keep us on track. how do you think these policies or. you think these policies or pledges are going to be policed? it is very well saying these things and everyone goes home and decide to make them into law or not. it needs more than a global commitment, it surely needs to be policed as well? it surely needs to be policed as well? , ., ., well? it is quite hard to olice well? it is quite hard to police individual - well? it is quite hard to i police individual sovereign countries. that is one of the difficulties at the heart of the claimant change crisis. the reasons we have these moments is because we need global action and talking and bringing people together is a critical part of how we build that global action and there is a huge amount of peer pressure. so one of the big questions is, are the warm words really going to get to action? if you look at some of the detail, some of the headline commitments, it says there is a huge amount of substantive change going forward, promising and valuable things, things like wanting to phase out cold but even saying that, it needs to have plan to deliver it. similarly, with india, the way it has addressed a long—term goal but also talking in the near term about renewables. clearly they will do even more. we are seeing in many cases where you can feel some confidence in the detail. in other cases, not so much. there is a real trust gap at the moment. if you look at protesters on the street and listen to voices of younger people or indigenous groups or other groups, there is a kind of question about, well, there are some really great promises that do not pass the sniff test. a big focus on what are empty claims and what is going to be substantive.— to be substantive. also, amongst _ to be substantive. also, amongst all _ to be substantive. also, amongst all of - to be substantive. also, amongst all of this, - to be substantive. also, | amongst all of this, what to be substantive. also, - amongst all of this, what the role of nuclear will be in the energy mix. how do you see that playing out?

i think it has - been interesting how that has come up in the agenda, partly as a result of some of the challenges we have about gas prices. it is clear to me that while renewable is a huge growth area with a lot of energy and ambition, we will need more options and sources of low carbon power. that will be critical. i would say we need to be using all solutions available. they have been some interesting innovations in either nuclear space, smaller reactors and other sources which hopefully will be deliverable.— which hopefully will be deliverable. ., ~ , ., , deliverable. thank you very much for — deliverable. thank you very much for your _ deliverable. thank you very much for your time - deliverable. thank you very much for your time today. i japanese conglomerate toshiba is announcing its latest results today. but not only its financial performance, investors are also closely watching whether the company will announce to split itself into three. the firm has been mired in scandals, including overstating its profits. let's go to our asia business correspondent mariko oi who's following the story. what do we know of this split and how will it work and why is it required? if and how will it work and why is it required?— and how will it work and why is it required? if you remember a coule it required? if you remember a counle of _ it required? if you remember a counle of days _ it required? if you remember a couple of days ago, _ it required? if you remember a couple of days ago, japan's - couple of days ago, japan's nick eight newspaper reported the company was considering splitting itself up into three. the company has sent confirmed it was one of the options on the table and announces its latest results later today we are expecting it to its strategy and whether or it would be the split remains to be seen. it may split into devices company and infrastructure group and a business focusing solely on semiconductors and memory chips. splitting or historic company is a common strategy. just this week ge announced something similar that it is farfrom common injapan and it would mark the end of an era because the deck as the company was seen as a symbol of japan's high—tech industry and many homes and its devices but it also builds nuclear stations as well. in 2015, it admitted it had been overstating its profit and it mattered one of the many symbols of japanese business. ever since the company has been under enormous pressure especially from activists and investors. the company was then accused of colluding with the government to block investors from gaining influence and according to its report, announce the head of its earnings, the company's former ceo did behave unethically albeit not illegally. if the split is confirmed, it would highlight the growing impact of activism investors and the aim of the move would be to remove its market value but i have been speaking to some analysts who say that, if confirmed, it would have to take place very quickly within the next six months or otherwise the speed would be considered too slow and will also see how those activists investors react to it. ., , activists investors react to it. . , , . it. really interesting. we will await that — it. really interesting. we will await that news _ it. really interesting. we will await that news from - it. really interesting. we will await that news from toshiba about its strategy going forward. thank you. navigating the creative industry as a freelancer is trying at the best of times. but on the african continent there are some unique hurdles like the lack of digital access and issues around internet banking. on top of this, many freelancers say that tapping into the international market often feels near impossible. so, a pair of former production industry professionals, based in cape town, have launched a platform specifically designed for african creatives. we need to fight the beast and take back the power.— we need to fight the beast and take back the power. memory is a weapon- _ take back the power. memory is a weapon- i _ take back the power. memory is a weapon. i have _ take back the power. memory is a weapon. i have been - take back the power. memory is a weapon. i have been in - a weapon. i have been in freelancing for a decade or so. working in africa is a challenging but it seems like there is a level of opportunity because the demand for content in africa is huge, it isjust that the people who request the content is usually overseas institutions and they either 10% of their people, maybe because they do not trust —— send their people. or outside people locally but it is a few people locally but it is a few people that get chosen. we need exposure. maybe we are looking for each other. we are not finding each other, it feels like. the platform was created to use technology as a system to ensure that creatives across the african continent have a pipeline of commercial opportunities. it was created from a personal experience. i was in the media industry for about eight years and it became very evident to me that opportunities were not that equal and it is a problem when opportunities are not democratised. it has always been hard to be chosen based on what you know but with a platform like acro one, they have the trust of the client so pitching is much easier and it gives a chance to everyone. let's get some of the day's other news chinese social media platform weibo has reported a 30 percent rise in third—quarter profits, and adding more than 60 million users in the same quarter. tech giants like weibo and alibaba, like suranjana mentioned, have all been under intense scrutiny from the beijing government recently. we will be talking about that later on. japanese carmaker subaru has announced its first electric vehicle. it will be powered by a platform co—developed with toyota, which owns 20 percent of subaru. the vehicles will be available in the us, canada, and europe next year.subaru's green cars will likely compete with rivian, whichjust this week became america's second most valuable automaker after going public on the new york stock exchange. stay with us on bbc news, still to come: how do western companies get a part of china's massive singles day event?

something for the history books, really, and, yeah, it's very good. this coast was already known as a world class centre for discovering dinosaurs. it seems some have, well, just got a nose for it. duncan kennedy, bbc news, on the isle of wight. well, we bring you a lot of variety on this programme, don't we?
