An international deal to cut greenhouse gas | :00:21. | :00:25. | |
emissions has been hailed as a "monumental" achievement. | :00:26. | :00:28. | |
Nearly 200 countries have agreed to phase out the use of HFC | :00:29. | :00:31. | |
gases which are found in fridges, air conditioners and aerosols. | :00:32. | :00:35. | |
Scientists say HFCs are a major contributor to global warming. | :00:36. | :00:39. | |
Richer countries will start cutting back within three years, | :00:40. | :00:43. | |
with developing nations given more time to adapt, as | :00:44. | :00:45. | |
Around the world, demand for air conditioners and other household | :00:46. | :00:57. | |
appliances is soaring, as people in developing countries get richer. | :00:58. | :01:02. | |
Another 1.6 billion air conditioners are expected to be installed by the | :01:03. | :01:09. | |
middle of this century. The amendment and decisions are adopted. | :01:10. | :01:12. | |
APPLAUSE. And that is why the legally binding | :01:13. | :01:17. | |
agreements reached in the Rwandan capital today is so important. It | :01:18. | :01:22. | |
requires that the greenhouse gases used as coolants in air conditioners | :01:23. | :01:29. | |
and fridges be phased out globally. There is a monumental step forward | :01:30. | :01:36. | |
that addresses the needs of individual nations. But it will give | :01:37. | :01:41. | |
us the opportunity to reduce the warming of the planet by an entire | :01:42. | :01:52. | |
half a degree centigrade. The gaseses, hydrocarbons leak out from | :01:53. | :01:56. | |
appliances like fridges and have a far bigger impact than carbon | :01:57. | :01:59. | |
dioxide in trapping heat in the earth's atmosphere, the cause of | :02:00. | :02:04. | |
global warming. Today's agreement commits developed | :02:05. | :02:08. | |
countries, including the United States, to start cutting use of | :02:09. | :02:13. | |
these gases in three years' time. While China and other developing | :02:14. | :02:18. | |
countries have to make their first cuts in 2029. And India has even | :02:19. | :02:24. | |
longer, until 2032, before it has to begin. | :02:25. | :02:29. | |
For some environmentalists attending the talks, that's far too long to | :02:30. | :02:33. | |
wait before developing countries have to start tackling the problem. | :02:34. | :02:42. | |
We are witnessing here the power and control and dominance of the | :02:43. | :02:49. | |
industry over our process has been lost. The deal is inevitably a | :02:50. | :02:55. | |
compromise but could be a big step in preventing global temperatures | :02:56. | :03:00. | |
rising by two degrees Celsius. The point at which it's feared climate | :03:01. | :03:04. | |
change would have the most serious effects. Richard Galpin, BBC News. | :03:05. | :03:08. | |
Senior MPs have stepped up their demand for Dame Lowell Goddard, | :03:09. | :03:11. | |
the former head of the national child abuse inquiry, | :03:12. | :03:14. | |
to appear before them to explain why she resigned from the role. | :03:15. | :03:17. | |
Justice Goddard stepped down as head of the inquiry in August. | :03:18. | :03:20. | |
Yesterday, the Times reported that the judge | :03:21. | :03:23. | |
from New Zealand had been accused of making racist comments. | :03:24. | :03:25. | |
She has dismissed the allegations as "totally untrue". | :03:26. | :03:28. | |
Our political correspondent Alex Forsyth is here. | :03:29. | :03:32. | |
What sort of pressure is being brought to bear by MPs? | :03:33. | :03:39. | |
When Dame Lowell Goddard resigned two months ago, it was thought part | :03:40. | :03:44. | |
of the reason was the distance of her family in New Zealand. She wrote | :03:45. | :03:47. | |
a MEP row to MPs outlining her concerns about the scale and scope | :03:48. | :03:50. | |
of this inquiry. This week she's been forced to deny the allegations | :03:51. | :03:53. | |
that you mentioned and the Home Office has said that it was made | :03:54. | :03:58. | |
aware of concerns about her professionalism and competence a | :03:59. | :04:02. | |
week before she stepped down. So the acting chair of Parliament's Home | :04:03. | :04:06. | |
Affairs committee has written to Daily Politics Lowell Goddard and to | :04:07. | :04:10. | |
the most senior civil servant, asking them both to appear before | :04:11. | :04:13. | |
MPs to explain what's gone on. Remember, this was an inquiry set up | :04:14. | :04:16. | |
by Theresa May, the Prime Minister, when she was the Home Secretary. | :04:17. | :04:20. | |
It's been beset by problems from the start. Asked about it, Mrs May said, | :04:21. | :04:24. | |
this inquiry is very important, we have to remember about all the | :04:25. | :04:28. | |
survivors and victims of child sexual abuse who deserve justice, | :04:29. | :04:32. | |
but questions not just about what's gone before but where now it goes in | :04:33. | :04:34. | |
future. Of course, thank you. Tens of thousands of pounds have | :04:35. | :04:39. | |
been paid in compensation by the Ministry of Defence to a man | :04:40. | :04:41. | |
and a woman who were the victims of sexual attacks by Libyan military | :04:42. | :04:45. | |
cadets two years ago. The cadets were on a training | :04:46. | :04:47. | |
programme in Cambridgeshire aimed at strengthening Libya's security | :04:48. | :04:50. | |
forces after the fall The scheme was scrapped | :04:51. | :04:52. | |
after a series of assaults. Out of the chaos of Libya's Civil | :04:53. | :05:07. | |
War an attempt to help impose order. The British Government brought | :05:08. | :05:11. | |
Libyan army recruits to a barracks in Cambridgeshire for training. | :05:12. | :05:16. | |
Here, some practise on the shooting range. 300 cadets came in the first | :05:17. | :05:22. | |
wave. The MoD said they wouldn't be | :05:23. | :05:26. | |
allowed out alone, but some made it to Cambridge nearby. Two of them | :05:27. | :05:35. | |
seen here raped a man in his 20s. They are now serving 12 years in | :05:36. | :05:40. | |
prison. Three other cadets were jailed for sexual assaulting four | :05:41. | :05:44. | |
women on the same night. Lawyers for the man and one of the | :05:45. | :05:49. | |
young women say the MoD could have prevented the attacks. The last | :05:50. | :05:55. | |
couple of years has been incredibly traumatic. One of the victims in | :05:56. | :06:02. | |
particular has been very, very badly affected by what happened to them. | :06:03. | :06:06. | |
They've not been able to speak very much to anyone about what's happened | :06:07. | :06:14. | |
to them. The MoD has apologised and paid compensation, but not admitted | :06:15. | :06:18. | |
liability. Another sign that Britain's | :06:19. | :06:23. | |
intervention in Libya greeted at first with great optimism, is still | :06:24. | :06:27. | |
unravelling. Your friends in Britain and in France... A recent | :06:28. | :06:31. | |
Parliamentary report heavily criticised David Cameron's | :06:32. | :06:35. | |
Government for having no clear reconstruction plan. The cadet | :06:36. | :06:40. | |
training scheme which promised so much has now ended in shame and | :06:41. | :06:45. | |
recrimination. Angus Crawford, BBC News. | :06:46. | :06:51. | |
Nicola Sturgeon says that Scotland will boost its trade representation | :06:52. | :06:54. | |
in Europe in light of Britain's vote to leave the EU. | :06:55. | :06:59. | |
The SNP leader told party members that she'd set up a new trade hub | :07:00. | :07:02. | |
in Berlin and slammed what she called the Conservatives' | :07:03. | :07:04. | |
'utterly shameful' message about foreign workers. | :07:05. | :07:07. | |
More than ever we need to tell our European friends that | :07:08. | :07:09. | |
And let me be crystal clear about this; we cannot trust | :07:10. | :07:16. | |
the likes of Boris Johnson and Liam Fox to do that for us. | :07:17. | :07:21. | |
One of Britain's best-loved television actors, Jean Alexander, | :07:22. | :07:24. | |
who played Hilda Ogden in Coronation Street, | :07:25. | :07:28. | |
Jean Alexander was nominated for a Bafta in 1987, | :07:29. | :07:33. | |
the year she left Coronation Street, having spent more than two decades | :07:34. | :07:36. | |
Our Entertainment Correspondent David Sillito looks | :07:37. | :07:39. | |
With her curlers, Murs yell and unique way with words. Hilda Ogden | :07:40. | :08:07. | |
was for more than 20 years one of TV's best-loved characters. Gene | :08:08. | :08:11. | |
Alexander thought it would be a few weeks' work when she first joined. | :08:12. | :08:17. | |
Hilda seemed to be a stereotyped nagging wife. The name's Hilda | :08:18. | :08:22. | |
Ogden. After three weeks, we thought it was going to get a bit boring so | :08:23. | :08:25. | |
we started playing against the script. Same words but trying to | :08:26. | :08:29. | |
give them a bit more character, you know, rounding it out a bit. Jean | :08:30. | :08:35. | |
Alexander started out as a librarian, she's grown up in Toxteth | :08:36. | :08:43. | |
in Liverpool and in private she was reserved, not like Hilda. Her | :08:44. | :08:52. | |
on-screen lawyer bad boy Terry Duckworth didn't think so. She was | :08:53. | :08:57. | |
an amazing teacher. She gave you, working with her was actually a | :08:58. | :09:02. | |
master class in TV studio acting technique. The addressing of cats by | :09:03. | :09:09. | |
TS Eliot. But she was glad to move on to other roles. Rich tea and | :09:10. | :09:16. | |
sympathy, last of the summer wine. But nothing could rival Hilda. Jean | :09:17. | :09:22. | |
Alexander made her funny, warm, moving, unforgettable. | :09:23. | :09:28. | |
What's that lipstick taste of? Woman, Stanley, woman. | :09:29. | :09:35. | |
Football now and in the Premier League, Manchester City remain top | :09:36. | :09:46. | |
of the table despite drawing 1-1 with Everton. Arsenal are second | :09:47. | :09:51. | |
after beating Swansea. Chelsea beat champions Leicester City 3-0. Moses | :09:52. | :09:57. | |
finished off a fine one-two to seal victory for Chelsea. | :09:58. | :10:00. | |
There's more throughout the evening on the BBC News Channel, | :10:01. | :10:02. | |
