A landmark moment in tackling climate change. | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
China and the US formally approve the world's first | :00:00. | :00:07. | |
Ahead of the G20 summit in China, the two biggest producers | :00:08. | :00:14. | |
of greenhouse gases commit to reducing harmful emissions. | :00:15. | :00:21. | |
Someday we may see this as the moment that we finally decided to | :00:22. | :00:25. | |
save our planet. The first Church of England bishop | :00:26. | :00:27. | |
to publicly say he is gay appeals for understanding from fellow | :00:28. | :00:31. | |

the world's two biggest producers of greenhouse gases - | :00:51. | :01:15. | |
have formally committed to a global agreement | :01:16. | :01:16. | |
on tackling climate change. The landmark announcement, | :01:17. | :01:19. | |
which ratifies a deal made in Paris last year, | :01:20. | :01:22. | |
comes ahead of the President Obama said it might be | :01:23. | :01:25. | |
remembered as "the moment we finally Together China and the US | :01:26. | :01:31. | |
are responsible for producing 40% of the world's carbon emissions. | :01:32. | :01:36. | |
They have now agreed to cut those emissions in an attempt to keep | :01:37. | :01:42. | |
the global average rise in temperatures below | :01:43. | :01:44. | |
two degrees Celsius. Our China editor, Carrie Gracie, | :01:45. | :01:47. | |
reports now from the city hosting Today was the end of a two-year | :01:48. | :01:49. | |
journey for President Xi and President Obama, | :01:50. | :01:58. | |
climate change a rare issue where China and the United States | :01:59. | :02:01. | |
see their interests align. Both presidents have invested great | :02:02. | :02:04. | |
political capital to get here. President Xi said effective dialogue | :02:05. | :02:12. | |
between China and the US had helped A commitment by the world's two | :02:13. | :02:18. | |
biggest polluters to the world's biggest agreement to hold | :02:19. | :02:30. | |
down rising temperatures. We have a saying in America that | :02:31. | :02:34. | |
you need to put your money When it comes to combatting climate | :02:35. | :02:37. | |
change that's what we're doing, both the United States and China, | :02:38. | :02:42. | |
we're leading by example. Together China and the United States | :02:43. | :02:44. | |
are responsible for nearly 40% Last year, 180 countries signed | :02:45. | :02:48. | |
the Paris Agreement, but it can't come into force until at least 55 | :02:49. | :02:53. | |
countries ratify it. I urge your leaders to accelerate | :02:54. | :02:56. | |
the ratification processes so we can turn the aspirations of Paris | :02:57. | :03:09. | |
into the transformative climate In the UK, Theresa May prepared | :03:10. | :03:12. | |
to embark on her journey to China, her Prime Ministerial debut | :03:13. | :03:23. | |
on the global stage. China's displeased by her decision | :03:24. | :03:26. | |
to suspend the Hinckley Point She was keen to echo the positive | :03:27. | :03:30. | |
language of her predecessor. This is a golden era for UK-China | :03:31. | :03:39. | |
relations and one of the things I'll be doing at the G20 is obviously | :03:40. | :03:46. | |
talking to President Xi to see how we can develop the strategic | :03:47. | :03:49. | |
partnership we have As the leaders are welcomed, | :03:50. | :03:58. | |
Theresa May will be one among many talking partnership | :03:59. | :04:03. | |
with China's president. On the eve of the G20 Summit here, | :04:04. | :04:05. | |
the main player has been President Xi, with the climate | :04:06. | :04:08. | |
change agreement, he's set the agenda, presented himself | :04:09. | :04:11. | |
as a bold leader and put pressure on the other big | :04:12. | :04:16. | |
nations to follow suit. Tomorrow, there'll be more | :04:17. | :04:20. | |
competition for the limelight. In a moment, we'll speak | :04:21. | :04:23. | |
to our correspondent But first, the BBC's | :04:24. | :04:30. | |
environment analyst, Roger, just put into context how | :04:31. | :04:35. | |
significant this is. Oh, it's absolutely huge, cannot be | :04:36. | :04:46. | |
overstated. We've had nearly three decades now of wrangling, a | :04:47. | :04:53. | |
stand-off between China and the USA both saying, "I won't cut emissions | :04:54. | :04:57. | |
if you won't." They've turned that on its head and both showing | :04:58. | :05:00. | |
leadership for the first time. Well, the US is going to promise to cut | :05:01. | :05:07. | |
its emissions between 26% and 28%, at the top end. China's promised to | :05:08. | :05:11. | |
stabilise its emissions, doesn't have to cut because it's a poorer | :05:12. | :05:15. | |
country, by 2030. They're already way ahead of target on that. So that | :05:16. | :05:21. | |
is the good news. Here is the bad news: Collectively all the nations | :05:22. | :05:24. | |
admit that they are way, way behind where they need to be to stabilise | :05:25. | :05:29. | |
the climate. At the moment, the promises on the table look like | :05:30. | :05:33. | |
they'll give us something around a three degree rise, which everyone | :05:34. | :05:38. | |
agrees is far too much. But let's just stick with today, this is a big | :05:39. | :05:43. | |
start and it is, at last, a start. Roger, thank you. Let's turn to | :05:44. | :05:49. | |
Robin now. Theresa May's first major global summit as Prime Minister. | :05:50. | :05:53. | |
What will she be hoping to achieve? I think two significant challenges | :05:54. | :05:58. | |
for the Prime Minister. The first is on the main issue here, efforts to | :05:59. | :06:04. | |
get the global economy going again. She wants to ensure the UK remains | :06:05. | :06:08. | |
prominent in those efforts and remains a beneficiary of them. She | :06:09. | :06:13. | |
will be coming here with one message very loud and clear, Britain remains | :06:14. | :06:16. | |
open for business. Expect to hear that from her a lot. The second | :06:17. | :06:21. | |
challenge, this is more prickly, on the UK's relationship with China, | :06:22. | :06:26. | |
those new Nuclear Power Stations, due to be built at Hinckley, there | :06:27. | :06:31. | |
are some on the Prime Minister's own side who see this as a dangerous | :06:32. | :06:34. | |
time in terms of relationships between London and Beijing. That's | :06:35. | :06:38. | |
one word used to describe it to me. One senior figure has said they have | :06:39. | :06:41. | |
concerns about idiots, as they describe them, around the Prime | :06:42. | :06:44. | |
Minister, who are suggesting that China could now be frozen out of | :06:45. | :06:50. | |
part of that agreement to build the new power stations. We're not going | :06:51. | :06:54. | |
to get a decision on that. What the Prime Minister comes here in a few | :06:55. | :06:57. | |
hours, she's due to meet the president on Monday. She will have | :06:58. | :07:01. | |
to reassure him, explain why she's reviewing this process, try to get | :07:02. | :07:06. | |
him to look upon it more sympathetically, but ultimately say, | :07:07. | :07:08. | |
please wait, the decision will come, just not this weekend. ( Thank you. | :07:09. | :07:12. | |
The first Church of England bishop to publicly say he is gay | :07:13. | :07:15. | |
and in a celibate relationship has appealed for understanding | :07:16. | :07:17. | |
The Bishop of Grantham, Nicholas Chamberlain, | :07:18. | :07:20. | |
says his sexuality was known to senior church leaders | :07:21. | :07:22. | |
But some conservative Anglicans have said the fact he is in a same-sex | :07:23. | :07:28. | |
relationship is a serious cause for concern. | :07:29. | :07:30. | |
Many couldn't care less the bishop of Grantham is gay, | :07:31. | :07:37. | |
and in his diocese today he was clearly uncomfortable talking | :07:38. | :07:40. | |
about it, but he came out publicly, he said, because a Sunday newspaper | :07:41. | :07:44. | |
There are gay police officers, gay teachers, for all of us, | :07:45. | :07:55. | |
My focus and priority has been on my ministry, on serving God, | :07:56. | :08:04. | |
on serving God's people, I do that, as I always | :08:05. | :08:10. | |
The Archbishop of Canterbury said he knew the bishop was gay | :08:11. | :08:16. | |
and in a relationship when he appointed him, | :08:17. | :08:19. | |
but it's completely irrelevant and under Church of England rules | :08:20. | :08:22. | |
it is priests and bishops can be gay as long as they're celibate. | :08:23. | :08:28. | |
Bishop Nicholas says he and his partner had discussed | :08:29. | :08:30. | |
We understand the guidelines by which clergy live that we would, | :08:31. | :08:36. | |
nevertheless, allow my name to go forward. | :08:37. | :08:40. | |
So it becomes a matter of trust, actually. | :08:41. | :08:47. | |
Ever since Gene Robinson was ordained, the first openly | :08:48. | :08:50. | |
gay bishop in the US, traditionalists have been angry. | :08:51. | :08:58. | |
For many, having gay bishops is heresy, a watering down | :08:59. | :09:01. | |
I will say for people for whom this is a struggle, | :09:02. | :09:08. | |
I do respect where you are and your convictions. | :09:09. | :09:11. | |
I hope that you'll be able to understand and to listen to me | :09:12. | :09:14. | |
and indeed to others, because there are so many, | :09:15. | :09:17. | |
many different views about this subject. | :09:18. | :09:21. | |
In Kent this year, the Archbishop of Canterbury, the head | :09:22. | :09:24. | |
of the worldwide Anglican Church, forged an uneasy truce. | :09:25. | :09:27. | |
But today the issue was centre stage again with traditionalists calling | :09:28. | :09:32. | |
the bishop of Grantham's appointment a major error. | :09:33. | :09:36. | |
He compared the whole issue to that of women clergy. | :09:37. | :09:39. | |
I think that we are similarly going to need to take time | :09:40. | :09:43. | |
as we continue to talk about human sexuality. | :09:44. | :09:47. | |
That means different parts of the world will have different | :09:48. | :09:50. | |
views and there'll be different views within those parts as well. | :09:51. | :09:54. | |
It is, though, a disagreement that could yet split the church. | :09:55. | :09:59. | |
NHS officials in North Yorkshire have agreed to rethink plans | :10:00. | :10:05. | |
to refuse routine operations for obese patients for up to a year, | :10:06. | :10:08. | |
The measures were announced by the Vale of York Commissioning Group | :10:09. | :10:12. | |
in an attempt to cut costs, but it was asked to | :10:13. | :10:17. | |
The Government is to ban the use of tiny pieces of plastic, | :10:18. | :10:23. | |
known as microbeads, by the end of next year. | :10:24. | :10:25. | |
The small pieces of plastic - commonly found in some toiletries | :10:26. | :10:27. | |
and household products - are thought to harm marine life. | :10:28. | :10:30. | |
Environmentalists say they're building up in oceans | :10:31. | :10:32. | |
and potentially entering the food chain. | :10:33. | :10:39. | |
A body found in the ruins of a collapsed building | :10:40. | :10:41. | |
at Didcot Power Station in Oxfordshire has been identified. | :10:42. | :10:43. | |
Christopher Huxtable, who was 34 and from Swansea, | :10:44. | :10:46. | |
had been missing since the building came down in February. | :10:47. | :10:49. | |
Two other men have been missing since the building's collapse. | :10:50. | :10:54. | |
The funeral of the former president of Uzbekistan, | :10:55. | :10:56. | |
The Uzbek prime minister lead the mourning, prompting speculation | :10:57. | :11:04. | |
Our Moscow correspondent Sarah Rainsford's report | :11:05. | :11:09. | |
Crowds lined the streets to watch the coffin | :11:10. | :11:18. | |
He'd ruled Uzbekistan for over a quarter of a century, | :11:19. | :11:24. | |
Yet there were tears today, sobs for a man Uzbek officials | :11:25. | :11:30. | |
have been proclaiming was an outstanding statesman. | :11:31. | :11:37. | |
"He raised our country to a world level," this woman told me, | :11:38. | :11:42. | |
and she wished her president a place in paradise. | :11:43. | :11:47. | |
It was 2005, when Government troops fired on protesters in Andijan. | :11:48. | :11:53. | |
Hundreds were killed in the massacre. | :11:54. | :11:56. | |
Despite his atrocious human rights record, Islam Karimov | :11:57. | :11:59. | |
was courted by the West, a useful ally in the War on Terror. | :12:00. | :12:04. | |
Russia has always seen central Asia as its own backyard. | :12:05. | :12:07. | |
The big question now is who'll take over from President Karimov. | :12:08. | :12:11. | |
Russia may be looking to increase its influence | :12:12. | :12:16. | |
The fear is that if there's a long struggle for power in the country, | :12:17. | :12:25. | |
that could be exploited by Islamic extremists and that would have | :12:26. | :12:28. | |
security consequences not just for Russia, but beyond. | :12:29. | :12:35. | |
Islam Karimov never named a successor, but clues are beginning | :12:36. | :12:38. | |
to point to this man, the prime minister, | :12:39. | :12:42. | |
Shavkat Mirziyoyev, who led the funeral speeches. | :12:43. | :12:45. | |
If there is a clear handover, some see little risk of unrest. | :12:46. | :12:49. | |
Uzbek police and security service is as strong as it has | :12:50. | :12:52. | |
I think it's going to do its best to put down anything | :12:53. | :12:59. | |
that they would consider threatening the stability or what they consider | :13:00. | :13:03. | |
This funeral marked the end of an era. | :13:04. | :13:15. | |
Many Uzbeks have only known one president. | :13:16. | :13:18. | |
But the signs so far suggest Islam Karimov's repressive | :13:19. | :13:21. | |
With all the sport - here's Karthi Gnanasegaram | :13:22. | :13:32. | |
Three times Grand Slam champion, Andy Murray, is playing his third | :13:33. | :13:39. | |
The New York tournament was where Murray won his first | :13:40. | :13:44. | |
The world number two took the first set on a tie-break | :13:45. | :13:50. | |
British number two Dan Evans is just starting his match against | :13:51. | :13:58. | |
Rugby union's Premiership champions, Saracens, | :13:59. | :14:01. | |
are looking to win the title for a third successive year. | :14:02. | :14:04. | |
They started their campaign slowly but a dominant second-half | :14:05. | :14:07. | |
performance saw them run out 35-3 winners over Worcester, | :14:08. | :14:09. | |
while there were also wins today for Bath and Harlequins. | :14:10. | :14:12. | |
Twickenham is where last season ended for Saracens | :14:13. | :14:19. | |
Champions of England, champions of Europe, | :14:20. | :14:24. | |
but even Saracens' steel can get rusty after a summer's rest. | :14:25. | :14:27. | |
They only led Worcester Warriors by three at the break. | :14:28. | :14:29. | |
It took a blast of hot air to smooth the creases. | :14:30. | :14:32. | |
Four minutes into the second half, the band of Worcester gold which had | :14:33. | :14:35. | |
held Saracens at bay, flaked in the face of fierce force. | :14:36. | :14:37. | |
Saracens persisted with power, knowing that holes would appear. | :14:38. | :14:45. | |
There were no Warriors available to keep Alex Lozowski from raiding. | :14:46. | :14:47. | |
To make matters worse, Worcester lost a man to the sin bin | :14:48. | :14:54. | |
and everybody counts when you have Schalk Burger coming at you. | :14:55. | :15:05. | |
The summer signing who specialises in making an impact. | :15:06. | :15:07. | |
If that was about the bulldozer, how about this for the ballet. | :15:08. | :15:10. | |
In the final minutes, Ben Spencer went Strictly Ballroom | :15:11. | :15:12. | |
What happens when Saracens really get started? | :15:13. | :15:17. | |
Pro12 champions Connacht made a terrible start | :15:18. | :15:18. | |
to the defence of their title, thumped by Glasgow 41-5. | :15:19. | :15:21. | |
Glasgow scored six tries, including two from Tommy Seymour, | :15:22. | :15:24. | |
in the bonus-point victory, while Stuart Hogg | :15:25. | :15:26. | |
And there were opening weekend wins too for Munster and Cardiff Blues. | :15:27. | :15:35. | |
England, Scotland and Northern Ireland play their first World Cup | :15:36. | :15:37. | |
qualifiers tomorrow while Wales play on Monday, as they all attempt | :15:38. | :15:40. | |
to progress to the 2018 tournament in Russia. | :15:41. | :15:42. | |
The England manager, Sam Allardyce, confirmed today that Luke Shaw has | :15:43. | :15:45. | |
been withdrawn from the squad and he also spoke about his nerves | :15:46. | :15:48. | |
ahead of his first game in charge, which is against Slovakia. | :15:49. | :15:58. | |
Every new job you get, you're nervous. You're hoping that your | :15:59. | :16:06. | |
players go out and do your talking for you. When they walk over the | :16:07. | :16:10. | |
white line, that they deliver what we all want and obviously, that's a | :16:11. | :16:12. | |
victory. Jenson Button will not race in next | :16:13. | :16:13. | |
year's Formula One season but he will remain with the McLaren | :16:14. | :16:15. | |
team as an ambassador. Button has signed a two-year | :16:16. | :16:18. | |
contract with McLaren Lewis Hamilton will be on pole | :16:19. | :16:20. | |

equalling the record there. And Britain's Cal Crutchlow | :16:27. | :16:32. | |
is on pole position for the British Moto | :16:33. | :16:34. | |
GP at Silverstone. Crutchlow claimed his maiden | :16:35. | :16:37. | |
MotoGP win last month. And at the Vuelta a Espana, | :16:38. | :16:41. | |
Chris Froome remains 54 seconds behind the leader, | :16:42. | :16:43. | |
Nairo Quintana, with seven Good evening. Tomorrow should be a | :16:44. | :17:08. | |
better day than today. That won't take too much. Here's the radar from | :17:09. | :17:12. | |
