:04:21. > :04:23.competition for the limelight. In a moment, we'll speak
:04:24. > :04:30.to our correspondent But first, the BBC's
:04:31. > :04:35.environment analyst, Roger, just put into context how
:04:36. > :04:46.significant this is. Oh, it's absolutely huge, cannot be
:04:47. > :04:53.overstated. We've had nearly three decades now of wrangling, a
:04:54. > :04:57.stand-off between China and the USA both saying, "I won't cut emissions
:04:58. > :05:00.if you won't." They've turned that on its head and both showing
:05:01. > :05:07.leadership for the first time. Well, the US is going to promise to cut
:05:08. > :05:11.its emissions between 26% and 28%, at the top end. China's promised to
:05:12. > :05:15.stabilise its emissions, doesn't have to cut because it's a poorer
:05:16. > :05:21.country, by 2030. They're already way ahead of target on that. So that
:05:22. > :05:24.is the good news. Here is the bad news: Collectively all the nations
:05:25. > :05:29.admit that they are way, way behind where they need to be to stabilise
:05:30. > :05:33.the climate. At the moment, the promises on the table look like
:05:34. > :05:38.they'll give us something around a three degree rise, which everyone
:05:39. > :05:43.agrees is far too much. But let's just stick with today, this is a big
:05:44. > :05:49.start and it is, at last, a start. Roger, thank you. Let's turn to
:05:50. > :05:53.Robin now. Theresa May's first major global summit as Prime Minister.
:05:54. > :05:58.What will she be hoping to achieve? I think two significant challenges
:05:59. > :06:04.for the Prime Minister. The first is on the main issue here, efforts to
:06:05. > :06:08.get the global economy going again. She wants to ensure the UK remains
:06:09. > :06:13.prominent in those efforts and remains a beneficiary of them. She
:06:14. > :06:16.will be coming here with one message very loud and clear, Britain remains
:06:17. > :06:21.open for business. Expect to hear that from her a lot. The second
:06:22. > :06:26.challenge, this is more prickly, on the UK's relationship with China,
:06:27. > :06:31.those new Nuclear Power Stations, due to be built at Hinckley, there
:06:32. > :06:34.are some on the Prime Minister's own side who see this as a dangerous
:06:35. > :06:38.time in terms of relationships between London and Beijing. That's
:06:39. > :06:41.one word used to describe it to me. One senior figure has said they have
:06:42. > :06:44.concerns about idiots, as they describe them, around the Prime
:06:45. > :06:50.Minister, who are suggesting that China could now be frozen out of
:06:51. > :06:54.part of that agreement to build the new power stations. We're not going
:06:55. > :06:57.to get a decision on that. What the Prime Minister comes here in a few
:06:58. > :07:01.hours, she's due to meet the president on Monday. She will have
:07:02. > :07:06.to reassure him, explain why she's reviewing this process, try to get
:07:07. > :07:08.him to look upon it more sympathetically, but ultimately say,
:07:09. > :07:12.please wait, the decision will come, just not this weekend. ( Thank you.
:07:13. > :07:15.The first Church of England bishop to publicly say he is gay
:07:16. > :07:17.and in a celibate relationship has appealed for understanding
:07:18. > :07:20.The Bishop of Grantham, Nicholas Chamberlain,
:07:21. > :07:22.says his sexuality was known to senior church leaders
:07:23. > :07:28.But some conservative Anglicans have said the fact he is in a same-sex
:07:29. > :07:30.relationship is a serious cause for concern.
:07:31. > :07:37.Many couldn't care less the bishop of Grantham is gay,
:07:38. > :07:40.and in his diocese today he was clearly uncomfortable talking
:07:41. > :07:44.about it, but he came out publicly, he said, because a Sunday newspaper
:07:45. > :07:55.There are gay police officers, gay teachers, for all of us,
:07:56. > :08:04.My focus and priority has been on my ministry, on serving God,
:08:05. > :08:10.on serving God's people, I do that, as I always
:08:11. > :08:16.The Archbishop of Canterbury said he knew the bishop was gay
:08:17. > :08:19.and in a relationship when he appointed him,
:08:20. > :08:22.but it's completely irrelevant and under Church of England rules
:08:23. > :08:28.it is priests and bishops can be gay as long as they're celibate.
:08:29. > :08:30.Bishop Nicholas says he and his partner had discussed
:08:31. > :08:36.We understand the guidelines by which clergy live that we would,
:08:37. > :08:40.nevertheless, allow my name to go forward.
:08:41. > :08:47.So it becomes a matter of trust, actually.
:08:48. > :08:50.Ever since Gene Robinson was ordained, the first openly
:08:51. > :08:58.gay bishop in the US, traditionalists have been angry.
:08:59. > :09:01.For many, having gay bishops is heresy, a watering down
:09:02. > :09:08.I will say for people for whom this is a struggle,
:09:09. > :09:11.I do respect where you are and your convictions.
:09:12. > :09:14.I hope that you'll be able to understand and to listen to me
:09:15. > :09:17.and indeed to others, because there are so many,
:09:18. > :09:21.many different views about this subject.
:09:22. > :09:24.In Kent this year, the Archbishop of Canterbury, the head
:09:25. > :09:27.of the worldwide Anglican Church, forged an uneasy truce.
:09:28. > :09:32.But today the issue was centre stage again with traditionalists calling
:09:33. > :09:36.the bishop of Grantham's appointment a major error.
:09:37. > :09:39.He compared the whole issue to that of women clergy.
:09:40. > :09:43.I think that we are similarly going to need to take time
:09:44. > :09:47.as we continue to talk about human sexuality.
:09:48. > :09:50.That means different parts of the world will have different
:09:51. > :09:54.views and there'll be different views within those parts as well.
:09:55. > :09:59.It is, though, a disagreement that could yet split the church.
