summer in california. we report from one town that was engulfed in flames. and coming up in half an hour — foreign correspondents based in london give an outsider�*s view of events in the uk in dateline. good evening. let's cross to my colleague christian fraser. a warm welcome to glasgow, i'm continuing coverage of cop26, it is 7pm here and the gavel should have come down on the summit an hour ago but it hasn't, because we don't yet have an agreement. in the last few hours, the presidency told us that a third draught of the text will be published this evening followed by a further stock take among the parties to see where we are. with the expectation that the negotiations will continue long into the night. that said, the closing sermon he has resumed, it started in part yesterday to formally accept those parts of the text on which there is consensus. david shackman has the latest. on was meant to be the last day, demonstrators lay down at the gates 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. , , ., nations. our safety, the safety of my children. _ nations. our safety, the safety of my children, and _ nations. our safety, the safety

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 was to try to limit the rising global temperatures — so how's that going? 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 celsius, many coral reefs are expected to die off among a long list of other impacts. if everybody here keeps to the promises they've given, a big if, we are still on course for about 1.8 celsius — 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 celsius — which means even longer droughts, affected food production across vast areas of the planet. so i asked america's veteran climate envoyjohn kerry, would any of this slow down global warming? 50 kerry, would any of this slow down global warming?— kerry, would any of this slow down global warming? globalwarming? so we are moving in the riaht globalwarming? so we are moving in the right

and, as an emergency, we will keep on going till we get there. but now we are talking about lots of damage, how do we help people who are damaged by climate change whatever we do on medication? that

the end, the americans still have big problems, the japanese have bigger problems, to a lesser extent the europeans. that's what they're fighting about — but nobody says these are life and death

resilient but it's all brand—new. that's why they are vulnerable. these are the things underlying the changes of position, also geopolitics, but also the fact that you can't stay or another country in

agreement, mitigation, adaptation and finance, including language on loss and damage. it's now a matter of building on that statement. we see much of that reflected in the current text. we talked

rules at home and a lot of them have to leave tomorrow. so there's also a real—life deadline as well, which comes some way through the period tomorrow. and if they have to leave, there isn't a quorum, all 195 countries you have to agree to the text, they have to all agree. that's the pressure this evening and why it will go long into the night. you're watching bbc news. christian fraser and his team there live for us at cop26, they'll be with us again during the course of tonight. around 1,200 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, 1,200 arrivals in 24 hours up the gang plank 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 border force. officers 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. there has been a surge of new coronavirus infections we seem to have frozen, so i'll move to the story. there has been a surge of new coronavirus infections across some parts europe. tonight, the netherlands has announced it's bringing back some tough restrictions. 0ur health editor hugh pym reports. people in the netherlands enjoying what might be their last evening out before restrictions being put in place. the dutch government's response to rising qovu infections and pressure on hospitals. intensive care unit in austria are also under strain. the government is set to announce restrictions on those who haven't been jabbed with one of the lowest vaccination rates in europe. uk covid cases relative to the population have fallen back but the netherlands, austria, and some other european countries have seen steep increases. germany is particularly concerning. the number of cases has gone through the roof. it is major. and the vaccination rate aren't fantastic. the prime minister sounded a cautionary note about the implications of case increases across europe. i am seeing the storm clouds gathering over parts of the european continent. i've got to be absolutely frank with people, we've been here before, we remember what happens when the wave starts rolling in. ministers are pushing hard the message that people should get booster jabs as soon as they are eligible, the hope is that will help slow the spread of covid. the latest 0ns survey suggests last week in the uk nearly 1.1 million people had the virus. that was down on the previous week. in england it 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—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. 8,652 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. it's interesting that governments are giving us that figure, and number, not a percentage, which i'd be interested to know what percentages have received the booster. we will pursue that and see if we can deliver an answer. 0ver her strained relationship with her father. that's what has been revealed in text messages released today at the high court, david cilento has been sifting through those text messages. what do we gather from this new material that's all part of the legal action that the duchess has been involved with? it is a long, ongoing case all about a letter written in april 2018 between the duchess of sussex and her estranged father, thomas markel. she was very upset, when pieces of it were posted. it is also revealed why that letter was written, the background of it — it has rather pulled back the curtain a little on the royal household, showing what happened in those months after the wedding. these are text messages between her and her press secretary — and she talks about the difficulties there were in the weeks leading up to writing this letter. she said there had been criticisms from thomas markel, criticising the royal family, from thomas markel, criticising the royalfamily, and the royalfamily were concerned about it. she said they were constantly having to explain why she couldn't simply go and visit herfather, explain why she couldn't simply go and visit her father, and she said they were constantly asking demographics by the royalfamily, couldn't you just go and do this? she said the catalyst was seeing how much this was causing h, and her words, and by taking this action, she was protecting her action from what she calls a constant parading and also, while unlikely, it'll perhaps give my father a bit of pause.

scots survived some early pressure from the moldovans but went ahead after half an hour with nathan patterson's first goal for his country. scotland dominated the second half, and che adams doubled their lead with an hour gone. moldova looked to be back in the match with a penalty but it was saved by craig gordon. victory seals second place in group f, and a play—off place in march to fight for a sport at next year's world cup in qatar. england kick off against albania in less than half an hour at wembley. boss gareth southgate has called on them to put in an improved performance as they look to qualify for next year's world cup. after a disappointing draw against hungary — england need four points from their last two games to guarantee their place at qatar 2022. they're away at san marino on monday. injuries and illness have affected england's preparations ahead of albania this evening — but the england manager says the players are enjoying the international break. so much going on in their lives, however many we started with and how many finished with, 23 stories, lots of club situations, and we spoke about just of club situations, and we spoke aboutjust being able to park that, enjoy time in england, come together as a group, focused on these two matches, and i think the groups have dashboard seven joist, matches, and i think the groups have dashboard sevenjoist, embraced of that, but we have to deliver a performance. the chair of essex county cricket clubjohn faragher has resigned following an allegation he used racist language in a board meeting in 2017. essex say they're looking into why the matter was not fully and independently investigated at the time. faragher stood down from his post following a board meeting yesterday evening and strongly denies the allegation. essex say "there's no place for discrimination of any kind at the club." this follows the racism scandal at yorkshire which led to a number of resignations. i think what it will show to many people is that this isn't an issue confined to yorkshire. and many people had suspected that over the last week that this was unlikely to be just an issue at yorkshire. yesterday, i spoke to the england captain, joe root, over in australia, and he said that every county needed to look at its processes, at its culture and work out if improvements needed to be made. of course, we know that the ecb is looking at this issue as well. of course, it will be of concern to the governing body that another county has now become engulfed in a racism issue. frank lampard has dropped out of the running to become the new norwich manager. the former chelsea boss had been in talks about succeeding daniel farke at carrow road but won't be taking charge. t�*s understood norwich have also spoken to former aston villa manager dean smith about the job but are yet to make a decision. lewis hamilton's hopes of closing the gap to title rival max verstappen at the brazilian grand prix have been hampered by a five—place grid penalty for exceeding the permitted number of engine parts. the mercedes driver was fastest in first practice in sao paolo this afternoon but can't start higher than

— this was aberystwyth a little bit earlier on. the winds are now tending to ease, and things look a bit quieter through the course of the weekend as low pressures clears away. still very mild for the time of year and mainly dry on both saturday and sunday, too. here's the low pressure that brought the showery rain at times today, and the breeze, as well, which is clearing off towards the east. as it does so, then higher pressure will start to build in from the west. so still a few splashes of rain overnight for eastern scotland, some central, southern and eastern parts of england, as well. but most places dry, some clearer spells for southwest scotland into northwest england — and it's here that temperatures will fall down into mid—single figures. but most of us remain in double figures — so a frost—free, mild, if somewhat cloudy start to your weekend. so saturday then, still quite a breeze around the east coast, perhaps a few spots of rain for the likes of aberdeenshire, east anglia, and the far southeast, too, and we've also got a bit more cloud working in for southwest england, wales, and northern ireland. but, in between these two areas of cloud, some sunshine through central scotland, northwest england, and the midlands right down towards the likes of the isle of wight. temperatures 10—15 celsius — so at least 3—4 degrees above average. so as we move through saturday night now and on into sunday, we've got high pressure not far away sitting both to the southwest and to the east of the uk. so this approaching weather front bumps into all that high pressure that's around. it doesn't make inroads too quickly for remembrance sunday, a lot of dry weather on sunday. a bit of sunshine breaking through the cloud, but generally a fairly cloudy picture for many of us, but light winds and very mild, as well, so quite a pleasant day with temperatures between 10—14 celsius. we have got that rain arriving in the northwest later on. so, as we head through remembrance sunday night and on into monday, that weather front pushes a bit further south, but it fizzles out as it does so. could bring a few splashes of rain monday morning to southern scotland, perhaps northern england, as well. a return to some sunshine for northern ireland and scotland, the north of that front stays a bit further cloudier south and east. still reasonably mild, 10—14 celsius as we head through monday afternoon. so certainly mild and settled for the next few days. things do turn a little bit cooler and more unsettled into the middle of this coming week. that's it for now, bye—bye. hello and welcome to the programme which brings together leading uk commentators, bbc specialists and the foreign correspondents who write, blog and broadcast to audiences at home from the
