An ambitious new deal to cut greenhouse gases is signed | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Hydroflurocarbons, found in air conditioners and fridges, | :00:07. | :00:12. | |
I think that it's a monumental step forward. | :00:13. | :00:19. | |
It will give us the opportunity to reduce the warming of | :00:20. | :00:23. | |
the planet by an entire half a degree centigrade. | :00:24. | :00:27. | |
But some campaigners say it doesn't go far enough. | :00:28. | :00:33. | |
MPs demand the former head of the national child abuse | :00:34. | :00:35. | |
inquiry appears before them to explain her departure. | :00:36. | :00:41. | |
Right, I've got a few things to say to people in here. | :00:42. | :00:44. | |
And tributes to Jean Alexander - Coronation Street's Hilda Ogden - | :00:45. | :00:48. | |
An international deal to cut greenhouse gas emissions has | :00:49. | :01:12. | |
been hailed monumental, with nearly 200 countries agreeing | :01:13. | :01:21. | |
to phase out the use of damaging HFC gases. | :01:22. | :01:31. | |
Richer countries will start cutting back within three years, | :01:32. | :01:35. | |
Developing countries have been given longer. That's been criticised by | :01:36. | :01:38. | |
some campaigners. It's been hailed as an historic | :01:39. | :01:51. | |
agreement. Scientists say the hydrofluero carbons are the world's | :01:52. | :01:55. | |
fastest growing greenhouse gases. Unchecked, they would cause a | :01:56. | :01:59. | |
significant increase in global warming. The amendment and decisions | :02:00. | :02:08. | |
are adopted. Now a legally binding aagreement, reached in Rwanda today, | :02:09. | :02:13. | |
will phase them out, replacing them with far less harmful substitutes. | :02:14. | :02:21. | |
It's a monumental step forward that addresses the needs of individual | :02:22. | :02:28. | |
nations, but it will give us the opportunity to reduce the warming of | :02:29. | :02:31. | |
the planet by an entire half a degree centigrade. Demand for | :02:32. | :02:38. | |
fridges and air conditioners is soaring across the developing world, | :02:39. | :02:44. | |
like here in India. This customer's come to buy his first fridge, a big | :02:45. | :02:48. | |
moment, as he takes it back to his village. No-one else in this | :02:49. | :02:54. | |
community has one. So getting India to sign up to the deal was vital. | :02:55. | :03:01. | |
But there have been concessions, with today's agreements committing | :03:02. | :03:05. | |
developed countries, like the UK and the United States, to start cutting | :03:06. | :03:10. | |
use of these gases in three years' time. While China and other | :03:11. | :03:14. | |
developing countries have to make their first cuts in 2029 and India | :03:15. | :03:21. | |
has even longer, until 2032, before it has to begin. While some at the | :03:22. | :03:27. | |
talks criticised these concessions, there was agreement that developing | :03:28. | :03:31. | |
countries needed help, because it will cost billions to phase out and | :03:32. | :03:39. | |
replace HFCs. All the countries have put forward their concerns. This | :03:40. | :03:44. | |
amendment has taken care of concerns of all the countries and their | :03:45. | :03:50. | |
priorities. Although the deal's a compromise, it could be a big step | :03:51. | :03:53. | |
in preventing global temperatures rising by the feared two degrees | :03:54. | :03:57. | |
Celsius, the point at which it's predicted climate change would have | :03:58. | :03:59. | |
the most serious effects. Senior MPs have stepped up their | :04:00. | :04:03. | |
demand for Dame Lowell Goddard, the former head of the national | :04:04. | :04:06. | |
child abuse inquiry, to appear before them to explain why | :04:07. | :04:08. | |
she resigned from the role. Justice Goddard - | :04:09. | :04:12. | |
who was appointed by Theresa May - stepped down as head | :04:13. | :04:14. | |
of the inquiry in August. Yesterday, the Times | :04:15. | :04:17. | |
reported that the judge from New Zealand had been accused | :04:18. | :04:20. | |
of making racist comments. She has dismissed the allegations | :04:21. | :04:24. | |
as "totally untrue". Today the Prime Minister denied | :04:25. | :04:27. | |
that the inquiry - now on it's fourth chair - | :04:28. | :04:30. | |
had become an embarrassment. We have to remember about all | :04:31. | :04:34. | |
the survivors and victims of child With me now is our political | :04:35. | :04:39. | |
correspondent, Alex Forsyth. Political pressure is growing | :04:40. | :04:46. | |
to answer questions This inquiry's been beset by | :04:47. | :04:58. | |
problems from the start, not least the resignation of dame Lowell | :04:59. | :05:02. | |
Goddard. When she stepped down it was thought to be in part because of | :05:03. | :05:06. | |
distance from her family. She wrote a memo to MPs outlining her concerns | :05:07. | :05:10. | |
about the scale and scope, the complexity of the inquiry. This | :05:11. | :05:15. | |
week, she's had to deny allegations about her behaviour, as you say. The | :05:16. | :05:18. | |
Home Office has said that it was made aware of concerns about her | :05:19. | :05:22. | |
professionalism and competence a week before she stepped down. As a | :05:23. | :05:28. | |
result of all of that, the acting chair of Parliament's Home Affairs | :05:29. | :05:35. | |
Committee has written to dame Lowell Goddard and asked her to appear | :05:36. | :05:38. | |
before the committee to explain what's gone on. Mr Lawton has | :05:39. | :05:42. | |
suggested the committee could call Theresa May, the Prime Minister, | :05:43. | :05:46. | |
because, of course, she was the Home Secretary at the time who set up | :05:47. | :05:50. | |
this inquiry. A position now where there are questions to answer not | :05:51. | :05:53. | |
just about what's gone to this point, but also where the inquiry | :05:54. | :05:55. | |
goes from here. Thank you | :05:56. | :05:58. | |
The SNP leader, Nicola Sturgeon, has told her party conference that | :05:59. | :06:00. | |
Scotland is open for business and will stay at the very heart of | :06:01. | :06:03. | |
She announced plans to establish an office in Berlin to develop trade | :06:04. | :06:08. | |
and a new board to draw on business expertise. | :06:09. | :06:10. | |
Our Scotland editor, Sarah Smith, reports | :06:11. | :06:15. | |
Please give a huge, rousing welcome to Nicola Sturgeon. | :06:16. | :06:21. | |
Nicola Sturgeon is seeking a new role on the national stage. | :06:22. | :06:24. | |
She believes it's now up to her to provide the main | :06:25. | :06:27. | |
opposition to what she calls a xenophobic, | :06:28. | :06:30. | |
The primary contest of ideas in this country is now between the SNP | :06:31. | :06:35. | |
Only her party, she says, is asking the hard questions | :06:36. | :06:40. | |
about what Brexit might mean for trade and the economy | :06:41. | :06:44. | |
The threat to our economy is not just the prospect of losing our | :06:45. | :06:52. | |
It is also the deeply damaging and utterly shameful message | :06:53. | :07:01. | |
that the Tories' rhetoric about foreign workers | :07:02. | :07:04. | |
More than ever, we need to tell our European friends that | :07:05. | :07:10. | |
To do that, she announced provocative plans to send | :07:11. | :07:18. | |
new Scottish trade envoys to Europe and establish a permanent office | :07:19. | :07:22. | |
in Berlin, saying she doesn't trust the Tories to protect | :07:23. | :07:24. | |
On the home front, there were plans to expand child care, | :07:25. | :07:30. | |
boost GPs budgets and provide a baby box, containing, clothes, nappies, | :07:31. | :07:36. | |
bedding and books to every infant born in Scotland. | :07:37. | :07:39. | |
Delegates at the SNP conference are most excited | :07:40. | :07:42. | |
about Nicola Sturgeon's plans for another independence referendum. | :07:43. | :07:44. | |
But she knows she also has to convince voters she is serious | :07:45. | :07:47. | |
about tackling problems in Scotland's schools and hospitals | :07:48. | :07:50. | |
if she's ever to convince them to vote for an independent Scotland. | :07:51. | :07:56. | |
The Ukip leader, Nigel Farage, has distanced himself | :07:57. | :08:01. | |
from Donald Trump's campaign to become America's next president. | :08:02. | :08:04. | |
In August, Mr Farage appeared alongside Donald Trump at a rally | :08:05. | :08:10. | |
in the United States and urged Republicans to "get their walking | :08:11. | :08:14. | |
Now, following multiple allegations of sexual assault | :08:15. | :08:21. | |
against the Republican candidate, Nigel Farage has told the BBC | :08:22. | :08:24. | |
that there are lots of things in the Trump campaign that he does | :08:25. | :08:27. | |
A Saudi-led investigation has confirmed that its warplanes | :08:28. | :08:41. | |
attacked a funeral in Yemen last week, killing around 140 people | :08:42. | :08:44. | |
The report blames poor intelligence by the Yemeni army, who believed | :08:45. | :08:48. | |
senior rebel commanders were at the funeral. | :08:49. | :08:50. | |
Our security correspondent, Frank Gardner, reports. | :08:51. | :08:56. | |
It was a double air strike that resulted in perhaps the single | :08:57. | :09:00. | |
highest death toll in two years of war in Yemen. | :09:01. | :09:02. | |
One week on, the Saudi-led coalition, attacking the Houthi | :09:03. | :09:05. | |
rebels, has admitted one of its warplanes did target | :09:06. | :09:09. | |
An international investigation team has released a report showing | :09:10. | :09:17. | |
the Saudi-led coalition's normal rules of engagement broke down. | :09:18. | :09:22. | |
The report blames a senior Yemeni military officer, who it says | :09:23. | :09:26. | |
It says, he insisted the location be targeted immediately. | :09:27. | :09:32. | |
The air strike took place, it said, without obtaining approval | :09:33. | :09:35. | |
But critics are unlikely to be satisfied. | :09:36. | :09:40. | |
The UK Government needs to take a serious look at itself. | :09:41. | :09:43. | |
For how much longer can it continue to arm the Saudi-led coalition, | :09:44. | :09:46. | |
when we are seeing these incidents, horrific incidents, schools | :09:47. | :09:49. | |
being bombed, hospitals being bombed, homes being bombed, | :09:50. | :09:54. | |
War-torn Yemen was already in the grips of a humanitarian crisis. | :09:55. | :10:01. | |
Britain is now pushing for a ceasefire. | :10:02. | :10:06. | |
Despite today's admission of blame, this devastating attack may have | :10:07. | :10:09. | |
Tributes have been paid to the actor Jean Alexander, | :10:10. | :10:18. | |
She played one of British TV's best-loved characters, Hilda Ogden, | :10:19. | :10:24. | |
Nigel Pivaro, who played Terry Duckworth, said | :10:25. | :10:29. | |
David Sillito has been looking back at her career. | :10:30. | :10:34. | |
With her curlers, muriel and unique way with words. | :10:35. | :10:49. | |
Hilda Ogden was, for more than 20 years, one of TV's | :10:50. | :10:56. | |
Jean Alexander thought it would be a few weeks' work | :10:57. | :11:02. | |
Hilda seemed to be a stereotyped nagging wife. | :11:03. | :11:08. | |
After a few weeks, we thought it would get a bit boring. | :11:09. | :11:13. | |
We started playing against the script, same words, | :11:14. | :11:15. | |
but trying to give them more character, rounding it out a bit. | :11:16. | :11:20. | |
Jean Alexander started out as a librarian. | :11:21. | :11:23. | |
In person, she was private, reserved not at all like Hilda. | :11:24. | :11:31. | |
If you want to do me a favour, take him with you. | :11:32. | :11:33. | |
But her on-screen lodger, bad boy Terry Duckworth had | :11:34. | :11:36. | |
Working with her was an absolute, is an absolute joy and a privilege, | :11:37. | :11:42. | |
She gave you, working with her was actually a masterclass | :11:43. | :11:48. | |
After 23 years, she was glad to move on to other roles. | :11:49. | :11:59. | |
Rich Tea and Sympathy, Last of the Summer Wine. | :12:00. | :12:02. | |
Jean Alexander made her funny, warm, moving, unforgettable. | :12:03. | :12:14. | |
Jean Alexander, who has died aged 90. | :12:15. | :12:33. | |
With all the sport, here's Hugh Woozencroft | :12:34. | :12:35. | |
It was a big day of action in rugby's Champions Cup - | :12:36. | :12:40. | |
with wins for Wasps, Scarlets and Northampton. | :12:41. | :12:43. | |
But the result of the day saw Saracens inflict Toulon's first home | :12:44. | :12:46. | |
defeat in Europe's top-tier competition, with a 31-23 victory | :12:47. | :12:48. | |
No occasion screams out champions cup like this. The upstart Saracens | :12:49. | :13:11. | |
who dethroned Toulon. Every pass a perfectly measured thread. Mateland | :13:12. | :13:17. | |
got to the line even under great duress. Saracens moved further from | :13:18. | :13:25. | |
reach. A second was added. Even their forwards turned creative, | :13:26. | :13:30. | |
halftime score 25-6. An embarrassment for proud Toulon who | :13:31. | :13:33. | |
have never lost here at Europe's highest level W a man in the | :13:34. | :13:38. | |
sin-binn, Saracens didn't have the numbers to stop them. An injury | :13:39. | :13:45. | |
widened the gaps, you don't want gaps when Toulon get the ball. The | :13:46. | :13:49. | |
game up in the air. Saracens allowed them no closer. Owen Farrell back | :13:50. | :13:54. | |
from injury to kick the final statement. Beware. If they can do | :13:55. | :13:58. | |
this at Toulon, they can do it against anyone. | :13:59. | :14:00. | |
Andy Murray is through to the Shanghai Masters final - | :14:01. | :14:02. | |

Britain's Lizzie Deignan finished fourth, as Denmark's Amalie | :14:20. | :14:22. | |
Dideriksen won the women's title at the Road World | :14:23. | :14:24. | |
Defending champion Deignan - formerly Armitstead - | :14:25. | :14:30. | |
was sixth with one kilometre to go but couldn't to retain her title, | :14:31. | :14:33. | |
having focused her season on the Olympic Games, | :14:34. | :14:35. | |

season with victory for France in a thrilling | :14:44. | :14:47. | |

the goals are coming up on Match of the Day, straight after the news. | :15:13. | :15:14. | |
but if you want the results, then here they come. | :15:15. | :15:19. | |
Manchester City remain top of the table, but only on goal | :15:20. | :15:21. | |
