The United States and China, two of the world's biggest producers

:00:24.:00:29.

of Greenhouse gases, have formally joined

:00:30.:00:32.

a global agreement on tackling climate change.

:00:33.:00:35.

The landmark announcement, which ratifies a deal

:00:36.:00:38.

made in Paris last year, comes ahead of the G20

:00:39.:00:40.

President Obama said it might be remembered as "the moment we finally

:00:41.:00:46.

Together China and the US are responsible for producing 40%

:00:47.:00:58.

They have now agreed to cut those emissions to keep the global average

:00:59.:01:02.

rise in temperatures below two degrees Celsius.

:01:03.:01:04.

Our China Editor Carrie Gracie reports now from the city hosting

:01:05.:01:06.

Today was the end of a two-year journey for President Xi

:01:07.:01:10.

Climate change, a rare issue where China and the United States

:01:11.:01:18.

Both presidents have invested great political capital to get here.

:01:19.:01:24.

President Xi said affective dialogue between China and the US had helped

:01:25.:01:27.

A commitment by the world's two biggest polluters to a global

:01:28.:01:39.

agreement to hold down rising temperatures.

:01:40.:01:43.

We have a saying in America, you need to put your money

:01:44.:01:45.

And when it comes combating climate change, that's what we are doing.

:01:46.:01:49.

Both the United States and China, we are leading by example.

:01:50.:01:55.

Together, China and the United States are responsible

:01:56.:01:57.

for nearly 40% of global carbon emissions.

:01:58.:02:01.

Last year, 180 countries signed the Paris agreement,

:02:02.:02:04.

but it can't come into force until at least 55

:02:05.:02:05.

In the UK, Theresa May prepared to embark on her journey to China.

:02:06.:02:16.

Her prime ministerial debut on the global stage.

:02:17.:02:20.

China's displeased by her decision to suspend the Hinkley point

:02:21.:02:25.

nuclear power project, but she was keen to echo

:02:26.:02:28.

the positive language of her predecessor.

:02:29.:02:31.

This is a golden era for UK, China relations and one

:02:32.:02:34.

of the things I'll be doing at the G20 is obviously talking

:02:35.:02:38.

to President Xi about how we can develop the strategic partnership

:02:39.:02:41.

But as China welcomes the G20 leaders, Theresa May will be just

:02:42.:02:50.

one among many talking partnerships with President Xi.

:02:51.:02:53.

On the eve of the G20 summit here, the main player has

:02:54.:02:58.

With a climate change agreement, he has set the agenda,

:02:59.:03:04.

presented himself as a bold leader and put pressure on the other big

:03:05.:03:07.

Tomorrow, there'll be more competition for the limelight.

:03:08.:03:19.

and in a relationship has appealed for "understanding"

:03:20.:03:29.

The first Church of England bishop to publicly say he is gay

:03:30.:03:32.

and in a relationship has appealed for "understanding"

:03:33.:03:34.

A group of Conservative Anglicans has criticised his appointment,

:03:35.:03:39.

said would "exacerbate" divisions within the Church of England

:03:40.:03:41.

Speaking to the BBC, Bishop Nicholas Chamberlain

:03:42.:03:44.

acknowledged some would "struggle" with his announcement

:03:45.:03:47.

and "needed to take time" as they talked about sexuality.

:03:48.:03:50.

A group of Conservative Anglicans has criticised his appointment,

:03:51.:03:51.

said would "exacerbate" divisions within the Church of England

:03:52.:03:53.

Many couldn't care less the Bishop of Grantham is gay. And in his

:03:54.:03:58.

dieses, he was uncomfortable talking about it. But he came out publicly,

:03:59.:04:04.

he said because a Sunday newspaper was about to reveal his sexuality. I

:04:05.:04:11.

am who I am. There are gay police officers, gay teachers, for all of

:04:12.:04:15.

us, our sexuality is part of who we are. I never sought to make it a

:04:16.:04:21.

secret. My focus and priority has been on my ministry, serving God and

:04:22.:04:28.

serving God's people. And I do that, as I always have done, as a gay man.

:04:29.:04:35.

The Archbishop of Canterbury said he knew the Bishop was gay and in a

:04:36.:04:38.

relationship when he appointed him, but it is completely irrelevant. And

:04:39.:04:43.

under Church of England rules, priests and bishops can be gay, as

:04:44.:04:53.

long as they are celibate. We understand the guidelines by which

:04:54.:04:58.

clergy live. That we would, nevertheless, allow my name to go

:04:59.:05:03.

forward. So it becomes a matter of trust. Ever since Gene Robinson was

:05:04.:05:10.

ordained, the first openly gay bishop in the US, traditionalists

:05:11.:05:17.

have been angry. For many, having gay bishops is heresy, a watering

:05:18.:05:21.

down of the teachings of Christ. I would say to people for whom this

:05:22.:05:25.

will be a struggle, I do respect where you are, and your convictions.

:05:26.:05:32.

I hope you will be able to understand and to listen to me and

:05:33.:05:37.

indeed to others, because there are so many different views about this

:05:38.:05:41.

subject. In Kent this year, the Archbishop of Canterbury forged an

:05:42.:05:48.

uneasy truce. But today the issue was centre stage again with

:05:49.:05:52.

traditionalists calling the Bishop of Grantham's appointment, and major

:05:53.:05:56.

error. He compared the whole issue to that of women clergy. We are

:05:57.:06:02.

similarly going to need to take time, as we continue to talk about

:06:03.:06:06.

human sexuality, that means different parts of the world will

:06:07.:06:09.

have different views and there will be different views within those

:06:10.:06:14.

parts as well. It is though, a disagreement that could yet split

:06:15.:06:15.

the church. Health officials in North Yorkshire

:06:16.:06:21.

have agreed to reconsider plans to refuse non-emergency operations

:06:22.:06:23.

:06:24.:06:26.

for up to a year, were announced by the Vale of York Commissioning Group

:06:27.:06:32.

in a bid to cut costs. NHS England said the proposals

:06:33.:06:34.

needed to be proportionate and threatened to intervene

joins us from York Hospital. It sounds like they absolutely have?

:06:39.:06:47.

The plans just announced, we were told they are under review. What

whether plans? Those who had a BMI of 30 or over, or smoked would have

surgery delayed unless they lost weight or stop smoking. A critical

reaction, the Royal College of surgeons, they said it was the most

:07:03.:07:07.

severe policy they had seen in a modern NHS. NHS England told us they

:07:08.:07:10.

hadn't been consulted about the plans as the Vale of York, which is

:07:11.:07:16.

under special measures, so NHS England can intervene, as them to

:07:17.:07:20.

reconsider this idea. Shortly, the Vale of York clinical commissioning

:07:21.:07:25.

group said they had decided it would reconsider, so they are under

:07:26.:07:30.

review. Interestingly, other CCG 's across the country have similar

:07:31.:07:35.

policies, around a third, we understand. It is something for NHS

England to look into. Thank you. The government is to ban the use

driver Stoffel Vandoorne. It's the opening weekend

:08:22.:08:23.

of Rugby Union's Premiership. The champions Saracens,

:08:24.:08:26.

who are favourites to retain the title, have got off to a winning

:08:27.:08:29.

start, beating Worcester Warriors. Twickenham is where last

season ended for Saracens Champions of England,

:08:33.:08:40.

champions of Europe, but even Saracens' steel can get

:08:41.:08:44.

rusty after a summer's rest. They only led Worcester Warriors

:08:45.:08:46.

by three at the break. It took a blast of hot air

:08:47.:08:49.

to smooth the creases. Four minutes into the second half,

:08:50.:08:53.

the band of Worcester gold which had held Saracens at bay,

:08:54.:08:56.

flaked in the face of fierce force. Saracens persisted with power,

:08:57.:08:59.

knowing that holes would appear. There were no Warriors available

:09:00.:09:03.

to keep Alex Lozowski from raiding. To make matters worse,
