the husband of the detained british—iranian aid worker, nazanin zaghari—ratcliffe, is ending his hunger strike outside the foreign office after 21 days. hundreds of migrants remain trapped along the border between belarus and poland — caught up in the middle of a political stand—off. and, the conservatorship that's controlled britney spears�* life for 13 years has been brought to an end. welcome to glasgow and the cop26 negotiations — which are now in overtime, as negotiators from nearly 200 countries try to strike a deal on tackling climate change. a new draft agreement was published this morning. let's bring you some of the main points. most crucially, the reference to phasing out inefficient fossile fuel subsidies is still in the agreement. even after some countries reportedly wanted to remove it. the deal also asks all countries to upgrade their climate pledges next year, and rich countries are asked to double their climate adaptation finance by 2025 from 2019 levels. with more, here's our science and environment correspondent, rebecca morelle. from wildfires thatjust kept on burning, to devastating droughts as temperatures soared, and floods that destroyed homes and lives, extremes have become the new normal. so, at the climate talks in glasgow, can a deal be done to stop things getting worse? the talks in here have now gone into overtime, and negotiators have had yet another sleepless night. and this morning a third draft of a possible agreement has been published. the question is, can enough be done in the next few hours to finally push this over the line? so, we are on the third draft now of this cover agreement, and when the first draft came out we all said, oh, it's got lots of things in it we haven't seen before, including reference to fossil fuels for the first time, reference to phasing out coal, reference to 1.5 degrees, reference to the challenge in 2030. it's all still in there in this third draft, and i have to say it's looking really positive for a strong conclusion at the end of glasgow. there are still some sticking points, though. one is whether countries should come back next year with better emissions cutting plans. some here want to delay this until 2025. what has been a real problem at this cop is we've arrived and we have an implementation gap, not enough has happened before, and so people are going, ok, it's a pledge, what does that really mean and are you going to actually deliver on it? so i think the next year has to be about delivery, delivery, delivery. there are also some issues for developing countries like bangladesh. they are facing the worst impacts of climate change, but it's not their greenhouse gases that have caused the problem, and they want richer nations to pay. rich countries created it, so they owe money. and they have actually promised money, they have promised $100 billion a year. and they haven't delivered it. in fact, they have inserted language, which is most peculiar language, saying they apologise that they haven't delivered it. what are they coming here to do? with the talks now well into extra time, the shutters are already going down on the conference centre. delegates are packed and ready to go home. everyone is hoping an agreement will be reached today, but there's still a lot of work to do. in the last few minutes, the president of cop26, alok sharma, herds words were, "my intention is that we will close this cop summit this afternoon. it was supposed to close yesterday. he said collectively that this draft agreement was a package that moves things forward for everyone. here is more of what he had to say. over the past months and the last — he had to say. over the past months and the last weeks, _ he had to say. over the past months and the last weeks, i've _ he had to say. over the past months and the last weeks, i've now- he had to say. over the past months and the last weeks, i've now people | and the last weeks, i've now people have been working overnight for several days now, say thank you very much for that. as you have seen, there are a number of parties that are still wanting to have a discussion to resolve issues. i have decided that i think it would be useful to allow a little bit more time to allow these discussions to take place, and i hope we can have some resolutions before a formally start this. so what i would propose is that we start formally at around 2.30. let are colleagues having discussions right now and i think it is right and proper that we give them time to resolve the issues. i would also like to make clear that it is my intention that we will close at this cop this afternoon, this will close. at the end of the day what is being put forward here is a balanced package, everyone has had a chance to have their say, and i hope that colleagues will appreciate that what is on the table here, whilst not every aspect of it will be welcomed by everyone, collectively this is a package that really moves things forward for everyone. with that, i would ask for your latitude, and just say that we will start at 2.30, this informal plenary, and then we will get going. thank you very much, thanks for your patience. be thank you very much, thanks for your atience. �* . ., ,., , thank you very much, thanks for your atience. �* . ., , ., patience. be at about 25 minutes or so away from _ patience. be at about 25 minutes or so away from the _ patience. be at about 25 minutes or so away from the delegates - patience. be at about 25 minutes or so away from the delegates coming | so away from the delegates coming back to sit down and actually give speeches in the hall to give us some sense of where that they are. alok sharma had been trying to get them set down for a while, but clearly they were a number of animated discussions going on around the hall, with the hope that those discussions could produce an un—sticking of any sticking points. joining me now is our reality check correspondent, chris morris. interesting that alok sharma is trying to put some time constraint on this, putting pressure on the delegates saying let's get this done. what are the chances of all this wrapping up this afternoon? i think it's a possibility. there are so many things to talk about, but it was interesting watching the huddles in the room before alok sharma addressed the delegates. there were people from developing countries, representatives from those countries around john carey, the us envoy. another huddle of countries around the eu envoy. that kind of sums up what is going on—it is the rich world and the financial muscle they can provide, and at the developing world science you are not giving it fast enough. those images sum up has been going on and in the last couple of days of debate, really. if you want is ending the developing order to make the sweeping changes which the science and you say is necessary, which is the money? fin the science and you say is necessary, which is the money? on at that oint necessary, which is the money? on at that point that — necessary, which is the money? on at that point that i _ necessary, which is the money?

[30 sufficient money to go with it, it is a big step forward.— sufficient money to go with it, it is a big step forward. do you think that bodes — is a big step forward. do you think that bodes in _ is a big step forward. do you think that bodes in enough _ is a big step forward. do you think. that bodes in enough transparency, accountability on those climate plans, contributions? that subject of accountability, how you measure prom edges and pledges made here, thatis prom edges and pledges made here, that is a big issue, isn't it? it is, it will continue to be a big issue after this conference ends. there is no point in having measured pledges if they are not measured in at the same way. sometimes people submit plans that do not stand up to scrutiny as much as other plans. the system is incredibly complicated, but it needs to be robust. at the end of the day a tonne of carbon being emitted into the atmosphere does the same amount of damage from whatever source, whatever country it comes. everything matters in this process. i'm joined now by gabriela blucher, executive director at 0xfam international. thank you for your time today. i notice when this draft agreement was assured, 0xfam issued a statement saying the world's poorest countries are in danger of being lost from view. we need the strongest possible outcome. today, what do you make of word we are with this draft agreement and the direction of travel we have seen here in glasgow? we are particularly concerned about the issue _ we are particularly concerned about the issue of the lasting damage

emissions. thank you very much for your time. really, it all| much for your time. really, it all has to be about delivery, delivery, delivery after cop26, about keeping the momentum going and returning the words we have heard here in glasgow into action. chris stark is the chief executive of the committee on climate change — a body that holds the uk government to account on its actions on climate change. he spoke to me earlier and gave his reaction to the draft agreement. i have to say, i'm feeling quite good about the way that it's been brought together. some of the key language is still in there, and it's really important to sailors. it might sound odd for those people not watching cop as closely as i do, but language about fossil fuel financing, language about phasing out coal is still in there. the language on returning to the table to make this 2030 target stronger next year is still in there. this is motoring towards a strong piece of text at the end of this. it is a process, sadly, we had magic up commitments countries aren't ready to make it. that process is starting to make it. that process is starting to deliver reductions in long—term temperature that it was designed to do, and i think glasgow is motoring towards some sort of positive conclusion. i5 towards some sort of positive conclusion-— conclusion. is there enough accountability _ conclusion. is

accountability and transparency and all of this? and a way of monitoring what countries are doing, are they keeping up, are they matching the fine words we had at the beginning of this conference? you are right to raise the issue of comfortability and transparency, because i don't think that is enough in this yet. the transparency of the commitments, how they are measured, sadly there is not a global body that has the same sort of teeth as my organisation does here in the uk. it will be up to the un process to deliver that accountability. i'm joined now by eamon ryan, ireland's environment minister. you have been in the thick of those negotiations. we were expecting to be in that the plenary session right now, already hearing from delegates, that has obviously been delayed slightly

essential. we are very pleased with the dimensions of nature. there is more nature mentions in the text than ever before. crucially, that is because we won't make that 1.5 the agreed target without tackling the nature crisis, they are two sides of the same coin. we have got to make sure that they are interconnected and we are tackling both at once. brute and we are tackling both at once. we were just chatting before this interview and you made an interesting comment about with the momentum is now. this process has been so intense over the last two weeks, but it's all about keeping the momentum going, isn't it? absolutely, it has been an emotional up absolutely, it has been an emotional up for lots of people, you are trying to figure out this what is going on, what will happen in the real world. going on, what will happen in the realworld. in going on, what will happen in the real world. in terms of where we were at paris and where we are now, the positive thing to take from that is that at paris we were aiming for well below 2 degrees, but that was the figure in range. this 1.5 target, which we know is crucial, is now politically very much the target. i think that's something we can say is a success of this conference, that 1.5 is the political target. a lot of that is done to people power, people on the streets calling for it. the science is now totally clear that we can't aim for that 2 degrees, we have to go for 1.5. is aim for that 2 degrees, we have to no for1.5. , ., ., aim for that 2 degrees, we have to go for 15-— go for 1.5. is that enough, is that

fast enough? absolutely not. we need to work on what has come out of this in the months ahead. i very much think the uk presidency has a role in terms of making sure these commitments stick. what has been a real problem at this cop is that we have arrived and had an implementation gap. not much has happened before. people are saying, 0k, happened before. people are saying, ok, is a pledge, it's a commitment. what does that actually mean, are you actually go to deliver on it? i think the next year has to be about delivery, delivery, delivery. that was katie white _ delivery, delivery, delivery. that was katie white from _ delivery, delivery, delivery. that was katie white from the w wf talking to me a little bit earlier. let's just bring you back across the river clyde. that is the conference hall, that is alok sharma, the president of cop. not quite ready to get back on their right yet, but very soon according to the timetable he gave at around 30 minutes ago. while we are waiting for that plenary to get under way. i'm joined now by david waskow, director of the global research
