of my children and yours, hangs in the balance. this will be the decade that determines the rest of human history. we cannot let it slip by. after several days of talks, what hope is there of an agreement in the battle against climate change? also on the programme: almost 1200 migrants crossed the channel to reach the uk yesterday, the highest daily figure yet. hundreds of teachers targeted by anonymous posts on tiktok — schools call on the social media platform to act faster to remove them from their site. and a surge of covid cases in several european countries. tonight the netherlands is the first to bring back tough restrictions. and coming up on the bbc news channel: a huge night for scotland and england in world cup qualifying. we'll be live at wembley with all the latest. good evening from glasgow, where the cop26 climate summit is due to end about now, but where last—minute haggling could see negotiations go on well into the night. the president of the summit, alok sharma, says delegates have come a long way in the last two weeks, and he now hopes there'll be a final injection of what he calls a "can—do spirit". greenpeace is urging delegates to agree something historic, but can there be a deal that satisfies everyone? well, the aim of the summit was to try to reach agreement among more than 190 countries to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees celsius. but the sticking points that remain include finding tougher language to secure commitments to phase out coal and other fossil fuels. and finding more money to help developing nations fight climate change and make the switch to greener technology. with the very latest from the summit, here's our science editor, david shukman. siren wails. a warning from outside the conference about the state of progress inside. world leaders are singled out for failing to keep their promises, for allowing the planet to become dangerously overheated, on what is meant to be the last day, demonstrators lay down at the gate of cop26 to ram home the point that lives are being lost because of climate change. appeals for action came in the conference halls, as well. activists calling on governments not to water down key points in the agreement. a plea echoed by the most vulnerable nations. 0ur safety, the safety of my children, and yours, hangs in the balance. as i said to the high ambition coalition this morning, it's time for us to level up. this will be the decade that determines the rest of human history. we cannot let it slip by. but some disputes are proving really difficult to settle over coal, and what to say about phasing it out. how often countries should update their climate plans. every year to reflect the urgency or less often? and how much climate aid to give the poorest nations notjust now but over the coming decades. the whole point of these talks is to try to limit the rise in global temperatures, so how's that going? well, compared to preindustrial times, we've warmed by at least 1.1 celsius and record heat waves are already becoming more frequent. above 1.5 degrees many coral reefs are expected to die off among a long list of other impacts. if everyone here keeps to the promises they have given, a big if, we are still on course for about 1.8, and that means even higher sea levels and even more people threatened by flooding. but being realistic, as things stand the more likely outcome is 2.4, which means even longer droughts affecting food production across vast areas of the planet. so, i asked america's veteran climate envoy, john kerry, would any of this slow down global warming? so, we are moving in the right direction, are we moving fast enough? no, but that is what this meeting is about. scientists never said, you guys have to have this done by the end of cop26. they said you have ten years. they said it is incredibly urgent. yes, it is incredibly urgent, and that's exactly why 65% of global gdp has said we are going to keep 1.5 degrees alive. meanwhile, as haggling continues, the conference chair made another plea for agreement. now, we need that final injection of that can—do spirit, which is present at this cop, so we get this shared endeavour over the line. but emotions are running high and many delegations are worried. for us, ambition 1.5 is notjust a statistic it is a matter of life and death. some among us are wasting precious time here in glasgow attempting to renegotiate what was already agreed. all we're asking you to do is to keep your and own your responsibilities on setting this crisis in motion. nothing less, nothing more. so, a long night of negotiations lies ahead. hopes of concluding on time are fading. david shukman, bbc news, glasgow. the effects of climate change have been felt in parts of california, where emergency workers say they're now battling fires covering more than a million acres of land. 0ne giant blaze, which began near the dixie creek in the north of the state, took nearly three months to bring under control. 0ur climate editor, justin rowlatt, reports on the widepsread damage caused to livelihoods and the environment. meet general sherman, the biggest individual organism in the world. this giant sequoia is 84 metres tall, and it is 2200 years old. these trees are restricted to 70 groves on the western slope of the sierra nevada. that's all that's left? yeah, very narrow little patches ofjust the right remaining habitat. it is a habitat that has always included fire. so, these trees are exquisitely adapted to cope with fire. listen to this. hollow knocking. the bark is full of tiny air pockets, and it's about a metre thick, so that insulates it from the heat of the fire. and then if you look up at the canopy, the first branches start about 30 metres up, so they are lifted clear of all but the very biggest fires. but fire has now become their greatest threat. years of climate—induced droughts have left vegetation tinder dry. and in a policy of suppressing small fires which allow deadwood to build up, and fires are now ripping through california's forests faster and hotter than ever before. it's a huge challenge. we are... i feel, obviously, we are not winning this battle right now. the fires are too active. and what does it make you think about the future for these forests ? well, i'm going to hope for the best, but if we keep having fires the way that we have been for the last few years, it doesn't look good. this is good... general sherman escaped unsinged. the flames came within a quarter of a mile of it, but other trees weren't so lucky. before 2015, no one saw a sequoia that looked like this. you never saw a tree torch like this, become a candle and burn up in this way before climate change and fire suppression. there's nothing i can do about, about these trees. they are gone, and we will plant new ones, but it takes 1000 years. and they won't be this for hundreds? no, they won't be this for a long, long time. and it isn'tjust trees that are burning. communities are, too. it took all the colour out of my life. look, everything is just a shade of grey. the entire town of greenville was razed to the ground injust two hours, and nicole's forever home went with it. but nicole believes something good could rise from the ashes. greenville could actually be a lighthouse community of sustainability and climate adaptation, and how do we live in our new normal, because big fires are now the new normal. you can see the crown is totally intact. there's living bark under this char. and in the forest, christie hasn't given up hope either. so, this is black on the outside. this will all come off and the bark will continue to grow, and this tree is completely fine. she says the resilience of the trees should inspire us. we need to act on climate change now, and every little bit counts. it isn't too late, she says, not yet. justin rowlatt, bbc news, the sierra nevada mountains. 0ur science editor, david shukman, joins me now. david, this is such a complicated topic with so many moving parts, i suppose it was inevitable that the talks would come right down to the wire, but as we speak, do you detect confidence that a deal can be struck 7 i confidence that a deal can be struck ? ,, confidence that a deal can be struck 2 ~ �* , , confidence that a deal can be struck ? ithink it's very likely, clive, that there _ ? ithink it's very likely, clive, that there will _ ? ithink it's very likely, clive, that there will be _ ? ithink it's very likely, clive, that there will be an _ ? i think it's very likely, clive, i that there will be an agreement, ? i think it's very likely, clive, - that there will be an agreement, but what no one can tell is when it will land. by the standards of previous conferences of this kind, the likelihood is that it runs into the weekend, certainly tomorrow, just given the complexity of all the different negotiations. and an additional problem is, because national interests are at stake, very often what happens now is that delegations have to consult their capitals back home, their presidents and prime ministers, to check what they can agree to, and that of course adds further delay, and i think that is particularly the case for the big coal producing countries. will they tolerate the final agreement when we get it having a line that talks about phasing out coal? just one example of many different challenges that lie ahead. it is possible that there could be some miraculous surprise in the coming hours and everything gets sewn up during the course of this evening. but as i say, the likelihood is that they will have to carry on during the course of the night, justjudging by the comments the delegates have been making in the delegates have been making in the last few hours, some pretty profound issues remain to be settled. but the hope here, and we heard that from john kerry in my report, the hope very much is that whatever comes out of this, whenever it does, it will set the world onto a safer pathway.— it does, it will set the world onto a safer athwa . ., , ., well, that's it for now from glasgow, i'll hand you back now to sophie. clive, thank you. around 1200 people crossed the channel by boat yesterday to reach the uk — it's a new record for migant crossings in a single day. more than 23,000 people have made the crossing from france to the uk by boat so far this year, nearly three times the number crossing in 2020. with more, here's our home editor, mark easton. it was a day the uk lost control of its border, of what they call tug haven in dover, and into a hired marquee for processing. but the home office won't expecting numbers anything like that, and the borderforce. 0fficers just couldn't cope. conditions in the tent last night were described by one official as a humanitarian crisis with 1000 people traumatised, vulnerable, and desperate, including, i am told, at least one pregnant woman, forced to sleep on the floor. cooking, washing, and toilet facilities have proved totally inadequate for the demand over the last week. these migrants appear to be complaining they haven't had enough to eat. we have hundreds of people sleeping on a concrete floor overnight. there is limited sanitary facilities. there is no way to get them hot food. it was never designed to be used in the way it is now, but there is no way to move these folk onto their next destination. the entire system is broken from end to end. the home office had expected the numbers making the perilous journey across the channel would fall in the autumn, but calm and mild conditions have actually seen record numbers attempt to reach the kent coast in small vessels. yesterday, french authorities stopped seven boats but 33 reached uk waters despite a government commitment last year to make the route unviable. we've been working very hard with france over the last few years, and the french have stopped over 18,000 attempted crosses so far this year. but the numbers speak for themselves, it is disappointing and shocking just how many migrants have managed to cross the channel this week alone. data obtained by the refugee council shows that in the 17 months to may this year, 70% of the 12,000 people arriving in small boats came from five countries. over 3000 from iran, 2000 from iraq, and around 1000 each from sudan, syria, and vietnam. full details will be published in a report next week. but analysis of people crossing the channel suggests more than 60% will be given refugee status by the home office after their initial assessment. our analysis shows they are people fleeing war, persecution, and terror. they want to come to the uk because they are able to speak some english, they might have a connection through their networks to the uk through family, and they simply want to get on, rebuild their lives, and make a contribution to our economy and our society in the future. the weather has been worse today, with few migrants crossing a relief to the border force who have been working around the clock to clear the backlog of hundreds of exhausted and desperate people. mark easton, bbc news — dover. the dutch prime minister has said that strict restrictions are being put back in place due to a recent surge in covid infections. people who aren't vaccinated have been

was one in 60 people and in wales won in 45 and both case rates were falling. in northern ireland, with one in 75, and scotland won in 85, the trend was less clear. infections among 11 to 16—year—olds had been rising the fastest, but in england last week they fell back as they did amongst younger children. in other age groups, there wasn't much change. the school half term could have been a factor, and the prime minister said it wasn't clear the drift downwards would continue. hugh pym, bbc news. there were 40,375 new infections recorded in the latest 24—hour period, so an average of 35,507 cases reported per day in the last week. 8652 people were in hospital with covid yesterday. there were 145 deaths, that's people who died within 28 days of a positive test, which means the average number of deaths over the past seven days was 156. the total number of people who have died with covid now stands at 142,678. 87.8% of people aged 12 and over have now received a first dose and 79.9% have been double vaccinated. more than 11.8 million people have received their booster. the uk is sending military engineers to help poland strengthen its border defences. thousands of migrants are in neighbouring belarus in near freezing temperatures trying to get into the eu. the uk and other western countries have accused belarus of deliberately orchestrating the crisis, by encouraging migrants to travel from the middle east, and taking them to the border. the chairman of essex county cricket club has resigned after it was alleged he used racist language at a board meeting in 2017. john faragher stepped down last night but denies the claim. our sports correspondent laura scott is at essex�*s county ground in chelmsford. the racism crisis consuming english cricket took another turn with john faragher becoming the second chairman of a leading county to resign in the space of a week following yorkshire's roger hutton. his sudden departure comes after he allegedly used racist language in a board meeting in 2017. he strongly denies the allegation which surfaced yesterday but last night the board of essex unanimously accepted his resignation. the new chief executive of the club and former playerjohn stephenson said he wouldn't hesitate to uphold the zero tolerance policy towards racism. the club will now review whyjohn faragher�*s comments went reported at the time. a hearing into the scandal at yorkshire, tonight development here raise questions about the issue, and tonight's development here raises questions about the issue. 0n the final day of cop26, climate activists pile on the pressure, while the president of the summit calls for one last push to reach a deal. coming up — text messages from the duchess of sussex to a former aide are released in court — claiming harry faced "constant berating" from the royal family over her strained relationship with her father, coming up on sportsday on the bbc news channel: another blow to lewis hamilton's formula 1 title defence. a five—place penalty means he'll be unable to start higher than sixth on the grid at sunday's sao paulo grand prix. hundreds of teachers have been targeted in recent weeks by pupils who've anonymously made abusive videos on the social media platform tiktok. some teachers have been accused of being paedophiles or subjected to homophobic comments. schools are now calling on tiktok to take urgent action to remove what they say is disgraceful abuse of teachers online. tiktok says it is deploying additional measures to detect and remove offensive content and regrets upset caused to teachers. but teaching unions say it's not being done fast enough. 0ur education correspondent elaine dunkley has more. tiktok, a social media platform where people can create and share funny and quirky content, but there is a darker side to one of the latest trends. targeting teachers with abusive and offensive videos. this one shows tom rogers, history teacher, posted from an anonymous account viewed thousands of times. there were two videos using derogatory terms to describe someone who was inappropriate towards children. you are thinking when you go in there that kids are laughing at you and whatever and everyone has seen it, so i have messaged tiktok, did not get a reply, and the videos are still there. something tragic could happen, and it is only then that something will have to be done. we had a number of staff who've been impacted by this and who are off currently. many schools across the uk have sent letters to parents warning them about schoolchildren creating and sharing videos targeting teachers. seen by 2 million viewers... at the ellesmere port church of england college there have been a number of incidents. we are working with a number of staff at the moment who are finding it difficult to cope. we know the children who have posted the videos. we are working with their families to make them understand what they've done wrong. bodies like tiktok must make sure that they can police a bit better. you can take three separate resistors... these sixth formers say everyone in school has a responsibility to stop online bullying. when i first saw them, my first response was to report it. report it as like bullying and harassment. some of the videos you see are just literal attacks on one individual. i know one teacher has been affected the most. i haven't seen him around school since then. in a statement, tiktok says its community guidelines make clear that it doesn't tolerate content that contains bullying or harassment. statements targeting an individual or hateful speech and will remove content that violates these guidelines. but teaching unions say videos aren't being taken down quickly enough. tiktok is living in a parallel universe, frankly. they aren't taking this issue seriously, they aren't giving a sense of urgency, and they are definitely not recognising they should be taking responsibility to help us adults educate young people about how you conduct yourself responsibly on social media. what can schools do about this? when tom isn't teaching, he hosts a weekly show on teachers talk radio. you've got school websites, and we've got all of our photographs online... but teachers say they don't just want words, they want action from social media sites like tiktok. elaine dunkley — bbc news. the duchess of sussex texted a former aide that harry faced "constant berating" from the royal family over her strained relationship with her estranged father, messages released this afternoon have shown. 0ur correspondent jon donnison is here. this is the long—running court case about that letter between the duchess of sussex and her father. she says that the mail on had no right to publish extracts from it and this was an appeal hearing against a decision, saying they weren't allowed to publish it. but a whole raft of documents have appeared as a consequence of all of this and evidence, and it has given us an insight into the relationships within the palace leading up to the writing of that letter. there was another yesterday. today, text messages between the duchess of sussex and her press secretary, and she says the catalyst for writing this letter is how much pain this is causing harry. she said that after a week of what she said was explaining the situation, prince charles continued to ask her to go and see him. she said by taking this action, thatis him. she said by taking this action, that is writing the letter, i protect my husband from this constant berating, and while unlikely perhaps it'll give my father a moment to pause. it gives us an insight into what the royal couple was feeling so soon after the wedding. tens of thousands of young carers in england may be missing out on welfare support because councils don t know they exist. local authorities are supposed to identify and support young people under 18 who are caring for a family member with a physical disability or mental health illness. but analysis by bbc news suggests that almost 180,000 young carers are not known to councils. jeremy cooke reports. how many potatoes do you want? two, please. it is a home filled with faith. # he has done so much for me #. and filled with love. thank you. you're welcome. do you cook for your mum every night? yeah. at 13 and ten years old, amy and kimberly are young carers. do you need help? no, i don't need help. dedicated to their mum, julie, who has severe kidney failure. i can't really cook now. i can't stand up for long. i have pains. by law, because these girls are caring at a high level, they should get help from their council, but they've had no assessment, and get no support. they are missing from the system. bring herup herfood. i wash her back. clean her bed. clean the room. i help with finance and the order of business stuff. maybe help out with some medication if she needs to. she sleeps with my mum. if something goes wrong in the night, she's always there. you must be so proud them. i'm proud of them. at the same time, i'm guilty that i've taken their independence away from them. raise your hand if you are a young carer or young adult carer? in hereford, a relaxed gathering of young carers. their young lives touched by adult responsibilities. but who are they caring for? mum. what is that you do for your mum? medication. helping her up the stairs. sometimes you feel like you're not getting recognised enough. - at least these children are getting some help from this charity, but most of them haven't been officially assessed. our research suggests 75% of young carers in england aren't even known to their local council, so they may be missing, unsupported, and unheard. the more awareness we can raise the more young carers we can't reach. there will be children sitting at home tonight who are doing caring roles and don't even have this, and that matters, doesn't it? it matters hugely for their future life opportunities. bethany and paige are among those so called missing young carers, and we estimate that across england there are around 180,000 of them. do you know if you had an assessment, do you know if you are officially regarded as young carers, or don't you know? no. do you even know what that is, an assessment? i've heard of it. i haven't. i don't think we've had an assessment. i feel quite isolated. as a young person and as a young carer. back in bristol, a rare chance for kim and amy to take a break while their mum gets dialysis. i don't think there is any time when i'm not thinking, is my mum 0k? i can't go out with my friends as much as i would like to. i was dialysis? it was not too bad. julie is exhausted and worried for her girls. i wish it was different. i want them to have a normal life like other children. since we filmed them, amy and kim are getting some help from a young carers charity. thank you, kim. welcome. but they are still simply focused on helping their mum. we love her and we want her to stay for as long as possible, so she can see us grow up and she can be happy and live a long life. are you 0k? yeah, i'm all right. the government stresses this is a matter for local councils. the councils say with more money they could give more help, but how can young carers be supported if they aren't being counted? jeremy cooke — bbc news. time for a look at the weather. here's tomasz schafernaker. it evening. the weather this weekend is looking pretty quiet across most of the uk and looking pretty good for remembrance sunday. it should be dry for most, quite mild, not massively but may be a couple of degrees above the average. a low pressure is moving out into the north sea, that is what brought us the gusty winds and the outbreaks of rain to some parts through today. that is moving away, the weather is opening up, but we have a legacy of cloud, which is sweeping in across the country through the course of this evening and overnight. this will be pretty much over us for most of the weekend. it isn't massively mild by day but it
