0:00:03 > 0:00:05Tonight at Six.
0:00:05 > 0:00:08The government has guaranteed that Parliament will be given a vote
0:00:08 > 0:00:10on the final Brexit deal.
0:00:10 > 0:00:13In what's being seen as a concession, MPs will be given
0:00:13 > 0:00:18a chance to debate the bill.
0:00:18 > 0:00:23There will be new legislation for MPs to debate.
0:00:23 > 0:00:25We'll have legislation that puts it into effect,
0:00:25 > 0:00:28in other words the House will be able to go through it line by line
0:00:28 > 0:00:30and agree it line by line.
0:00:30 > 0:00:31These questions have been pressing for months.
0:00:31 > 0:00:33This last-minute attempt to climb down brings them
0:00:33 > 0:00:35into very sharp focus.
0:00:35 > 0:00:37If MPs vote against the deal the Government says we'll
0:00:37 > 0:00:39still leave the EU, but without an agreement.
0:00:39 > 0:00:42Also tonight.
0:00:42 > 0:00:47The moment an earthquake struck the Iran-Iraq border.
0:00:47 > 0:00:49More than 350 people dead and thousands injured.
0:00:49 > 0:00:52The British citizen jailed in Iran.
0:00:52 > 0:00:55For the first time Boris Johnson admits making a mistake over how
0:00:55 > 0:00:57he's handled the case.
0:00:57 > 0:01:00A warning from climate change scientists.
0:01:00 > 0:01:02Global warming emissions are set to rise again this year
0:01:02 > 0:01:06after a three-year lull.
0:01:06 > 0:01:07"Waste not, want not."
0:01:07 > 0:01:09If only that were true, every year we throw away
0:01:09 > 0:01:1410 million tonnes of food.
0:01:14 > 0:01:16Coming up in Sportsday on BBC News.
0:01:16 > 0:01:20Could moments like this be a thing of the past for Italy?
0:01:20 > 0:01:22The four-time winners stand on the verge of missing out
0:01:22 > 0:01:30on next year's World Cup.
0:01:43 > 0:01:46Good evening and welcome to the BBC News at Six.
0:01:46 > 0:01:49Ever since the Brexit vote MPs on all sides of the Commons have
0:01:49 > 0:01:54been demanding a greater say in how it's achieved.
0:01:54 > 0:01:58Today the Government appears to have offered a major concession.
0:01:58 > 0:02:01The Brexit Secretary David Davis says a vote on the final
0:02:01 > 0:02:03deal will be guaranteed by a new piece of legislation.
0:02:03 > 0:02:05Labour has called it "a climb-down".
0:02:05 > 0:02:07But the offer came with a warning.
0:02:07 > 0:02:10If MPs do vote against the deal, whatever it is, Britain
0:02:10 > 0:02:14will still leave the EU, but without an agreement.
0:02:14 > 0:02:15Our political editor Laura Kuenssberg is in
0:02:15 > 0:02:21Westminster this evening.
0:02:21 > 0:02:28A mess in the making. Tory rebels and Labour were on course to beat
0:02:28 > 0:02:35the government. But avoid defeat, MPs will have more of a say. A vote
0:02:35 > 0:02:39on the actual Brexit deal, as we are about to leave.I can now confirm
0:02:39 > 0:02:43that once we've reached an agreement will bring forward a specific piece
0:02:43 > 0:02:48of legislation to implement that agreement. Parliament will be given
0:02:48 > 0:02:51time to debate, scrutinised and vote on the final agreement we strike
0:02:51 > 0:02:55with the European Union. This agreement will only hold if
0:02:55 > 0:02:59Parliament approves that.Giving in to some Tory and Labour demands that
0:02:59 > 0:03:03Parliament to have a proper decision, if and when a deal is
0:03:03 > 0:03:07done.It's a recognition by the government that it is about to lose
0:03:07 > 0:03:13a series of votes on the withdrawal bill. These questions have been
0:03:13 > 0:03:16pressing for months, this last-minute attempt to climb down
0:03:16 > 0:03:25rings them into very sharp focus and we are entitled to clear and souls.
0:03:25 > 0:03:28Stop Brexit!In other words what took you so long to admit that
0:03:28 > 0:03:36Parliament would need a make or break Brexit moment?Stop Brexit!
0:03:36 > 0:03:40There has been fierce resistance all along to the laws already going
0:03:40 > 0:03:45through the Commons. This new idea takes the wind out of the rebels'
0:03:45 > 0:03:51sales. But if there is no deal in no time will there be no vote?If we
0:03:51 > 0:03:55run out of time, the time has to be extended under Article 50 so that
0:03:55 > 0:04:02all parties are able to deal with it.Can he confirmed that in the
0:04:02 > 0:04:08event of no agreement, no deal, this place will have no say and we will
0:04:08 > 0:04:15leave on that date because it's on the face of the bill, without any
0:04:15 > 0:04:18say from this supposedly sovereign Parliament which voted to take back
0:04:18 > 0:04:23control?While Parliamentary involvement is essential, this isn't
0:04:23 > 0:04:27and never should have been construed an opportunity to reverse Brexit, to
0:04:27 > 0:04:31return the UK to the EU, or go behind the wishes of the British
0:04:31 > 0:04:35people as expressed in the referendum.It matters not so much
0:04:35 > 0:04:40here but in the real world. European business bigwigs in number ten
0:04:40 > 0:04:46today, to make it plain to the Prime Minister. Jobs, millions of families
0:04:46 > 0:04:51livelihoods, depend on her getting Brexit right.
0:04:51 > 0:04:58Laura, just to be clear, vote or no vote, Britain will still leave the
0:04:58 > 0:05:02EU, is that right?This concession to try to buy off Tory rebels is not
0:05:02 > 0:05:07about that most fundamental of questions, whether we actually go
0:05:07 > 0:05:10ahead and leave the EU, or whether there is an attempt by the back door
0:05:10 > 0:05:15to make us stay in. That's not what this climb-down is really about. But
0:05:15 > 0:05:21this is about or not the shape of the Brexit deal, that will change
0:05:21 > 0:05:25our country for decades to come, is subject to a separate act of
0:05:25 > 0:05:30Parliament. A separate set of new laws that MPs and Lords will have to
0:05:30 > 0:05:35vote on, separate pieces of legislation that actually line by
0:05:35 > 0:05:38line our elected representatives will have the chance to say yes or
0:05:38 > 0:05:42no to the deal. On that fundamental basic question, this doesn't change
0:05:42 > 0:05:46whether or not we're going to leave the European Union. But what it is
0:05:46 > 0:05:50about is about trying to placate rebels in the Tory party and Labour
0:05:50 > 0:05:57and other parties and opponents who have said time and again that the
0:05:57 > 0:05:59government hasn't given people enough of a chance to have their
0:05:59 > 0:06:04say. They haven't wanted Parliament to have a real role in scrutinising
0:06:04 > 0:06:08the deal as and when it eventually comes. There are big unanswered
0:06:08 > 0:06:12question is here. Will it be enough to calm down MPs who have been
0:06:12 > 0:06:15really grumpy about how the government is proceeding? I think
0:06:15 > 0:06:20that is an open question tonight. What happens if there isn't actually
0:06:20 > 0:06:25a deal with the other 27? If there isn't a deal then there can't be an
0:06:25 > 0:06:31act of Parliament on the deal said the other alternative and therefore
0:06:31 > 0:06:35we crash out after all. But the government hopes is this has taken
0:06:35 > 0:06:39some of the steam out of those who were bruising for a fight in
0:06:39 > 0:06:42Parliament this week. It has certainly turned down the tone of
0:06:42 > 0:06:45some of the opposition. The government is kidding themselves
0:06:45 > 0:06:49that they think the fight is over how we leave have disappeared.Thank
0:06:49 > 0:06:50you.
0:06:50 > 0:06:53More than 400 people have been killed in a powerful earthquake that
0:06:53 > 0:06:55struck the northern border of Iran and Iraq.
0:06:55 > 0:06:57Another 4,000 were injured and the casualty figure is expected
0:06:57 > 0:06:59to rise on both sides of the border.
0:06:59 > 0:07:02A major rescue operation is under way but it is being hampered
0:07:02 > 0:07:05by landslides and power cuts.
0:07:05 > 0:07:08The epicentre of the quake, which measured 7.3, was just under
0:07:08 > 0:07:1320 miles south of Halabja.
0:07:13 > 0:07:15One of the worst hit areas was Sarpol-e Zahab,
0:07:15 > 0:07:22as James Robbins reports.
0:07:22 > 0:07:24The moment the Earth starts shaking violently.
0:07:24 > 0:07:27A man runs for his life from the control room of this
0:07:27 > 0:07:30dam, as massive boulders are hurled around outside.
0:07:30 > 0:07:34The dam wall was not breached but elsewhere devastation.
0:07:34 > 0:07:39In Iran, the border town of Sarpol-e Zahab was hit hardest.
0:07:39 > 0:07:44As entire walls collapsed, many families did manage
0:07:44 > 0:07:47to flee their homes, but others were crushed or buried.
0:07:47 > 0:07:51At a local hospital, there were many stories of narrow escape.
0:07:51 > 0:07:53TRANSLATION:I fell from the balcony down.
0:07:53 > 0:07:56The earthquake was very strong.
0:07:56 > 0:07:58TRANSLATION:The earthquake shattered the window which fell
0:07:58 > 0:08:03on me and it wounded my hand and my face.
0:08:03 > 0:08:07Rescue has been made more difficult by the mountainous terrain.
0:08:07 > 0:08:11Iranian authorities are pouring resources in but landslides
0:08:11 > 0:08:14and power cuts are slowing both rescue efforts and the task
0:08:14 > 0:08:19of establishing the full extent of casualties.
0:08:19 > 0:08:26This quake was 7.3 in magnitude, and happened in a known danger zone.
0:08:26 > 0:08:29The surface of the Earth is made up of tectonic plates, and in this case
0:08:29 > 0:08:31the Arabian plate has been moving roughly northwards
0:08:31 > 0:08:33against the Eurasian plate at a rate of two centimetres,
0:08:33 > 0:08:38just under an inch a year.
0:08:38 > 0:08:40Forces build up and eventually are very suddenly released
0:08:40 > 0:08:43with devastating effect.
0:08:43 > 0:08:45The destruction in Iran is greater than in neighbouring Iraq,
0:08:45 > 0:08:49where a major rescue operation is also underway.
0:08:49 > 0:08:53The BBC's correspondent is there.
0:08:53 > 0:08:57This area is one of the hardest hit in Iraq by Sunday's earthquake.
0:08:57 > 0:09:00We are told seven people were inside this home when it collapsed.
0:09:00 > 0:09:06Two of them were killed and others were injured.
0:09:06 > 0:09:10Several other buildings suffered similar damage to this one,
0:09:10 > 0:09:13but fortunately they seem to be the exception rather than the rule,
0:09:13 > 0:09:16and most of the other homes in the region managed to withstand
0:09:16 > 0:09:17the impact of the earthquake.
0:09:17 > 0:09:19For the survivors, night-time is the toughest.
0:09:19 > 0:09:24In rapidly falling temperatures, families are huddled around fires.
0:09:24 > 0:09:27Even where buildings are intact, fear of after-shocks will keep
0:09:27 > 0:09:30people outdoors.
0:09:30 > 0:09:37James Robbins, BBC News.
0:09:37 > 0:09:39The Foreign Secretary, Boris Johnson, has admitted
0:09:39 > 0:09:41for the first time that he made a mistake in his handling
0:09:41 > 0:09:43of the case of Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe, the British
0:09:43 > 0:09:45citizen who is being held in prison in Iran.
0:09:45 > 0:09:48Following renewed criticism from Labour, he also confirmed
0:09:48 > 0:09:50that he would be meeting Ms Zaghari-Ratcliffe's husband
0:09:50 > 0:09:55in London this week.
0:09:55 > 0:10:01Our special correspondent, Lucy Manning, has been speaking to him.
0:10:01 > 0:10:04SINGS.
0:10:04 > 0:10:10A mother singing with her daughter, just a week before her arrest
0:10:10 > 0:10:13Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe has now been separated from three-year-old
0:10:13 > 0:10:18Gabriella for a year and a half. With her health deteriorating in and
0:10:18 > 0:10:22Iranians prison and the words of politicians here appearing to harm
0:10:22 > 0:10:26her case, her husband has this message to the Foreign Secretary.I
0:10:26 > 0:10:32want you to solve this mess. It's not a mess that entirely the Foreign
0:10:32 > 0:10:36Secretary's making but it is a mess that his name has been touched it
0:10:36 > 0:10:39and is getting deeper and more complicated because of that.He will
0:10:39 > 0:10:43take his requests to a meeting with the Foreign Secretary this week.
0:10:43 > 0:10:46When you go to Iran at like to be on that plane, I'd like to be standing
0:10:46 > 0:10:53next to you for the symbolism that has. The second thing is that
0:10:53 > 0:10:56Nazanin is given diplomatic protection.Mr Johnson and Michael
0:10:56 > 0:11:00Gove less than clear in backing the family 's account that Mrs
0:11:00 > 0:11:05Zaghari-Ratcliffe was visiting relatives when she was arrested.
0:11:05 > 0:11:09When you look at what Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe was doing, she was
0:11:09 > 0:11:13simply teaching people journalism, as I understand it.What was she
0:11:13 > 0:11:18doing when she went to Iran?I do know.The Foreign Secretary said her
0:11:18 > 0:11:22imprisonment cast a shadow over UK Iranians relations but he recognised
0:11:22 > 0:11:29the family's distress.The words I used were open to being
0:11:29 > 0:11:33misinterpreted and I apologise. I apologise to Mrs Zaghari-Ratcliffe
0:11:33 > 0:11:37and her family if I've inadvertently cause them any further anguish.
0:11:37 > 0:11:42Labour said he needed to admit it got it wrong.It's not good enough.
0:11:42 > 0:11:45If it is a matter of pride that the Foreign Secretary is refusing to
0:11:45 > 0:11:51admit that he's made a mistake, I feel bound to say to him that his
0:11:51 > 0:11:58pride matters not one ounce compared to Nazanin's freedom.Ministers are
0:11:58 > 0:12:01considering if diplomatic protection can be given to Mrs
0:12:01 > 0:12:05Zaghari-Ratcliffe which would turn it from a consumer issue into a more
0:12:05 > 0:12:10serious dispute. It's not clear if this would help her. Mrs
0:12:10 > 0:12:13Zaghari-Ratcliffe's employers were insistent her job was
0:12:13 > 0:12:20administrative.We don't work in a run and we have no relations with
0:12:20 > 0:12:25Iran. On top of that she was really on holiday. She's not spy material
0:12:25 > 0:12:35at.Young Gabriella cried when her visit to her mum in weekend was cut
0:12:35 > 0:12:45short. -- visit to Hamon imprisoned this weekend was cut short.
0:12:45 > 0:12:48A man has been found guilty of carrying out an acid attack
0:12:48 > 0:12:50in a packed London club which left 16 people seriously injured.
0:12:50 > 0:12:52This is the moment when Arthur Collins,
0:12:52 > 0:12:55the ex-boyfriend of reality TV star Ferne McCann, threw the substance
0:12:55 > 0:12:57at the Mangle nightclub in East London in April.
0:12:57 > 0:12:59The 25-year-old was convicted at Wood Green Crown Court
0:12:59 > 0:13:01of 14 charges, including grievous bodily harm.
0:13:01 > 0:13:04The chair of Parliament's spending watching has called for a police
0:13:04 > 0:13:06investigation after BBC Panorama uncovered evidence of fraud
0:13:06 > 0:13:10in the student loan system.
0:13:10 > 0:13:12Panorama has uncovered scams that could be costing
0:13:12 > 0:13:13the taxpayer millions of pounds.
0:13:13 > 0:13:20Richard Watson reports.
0:13:20 > 0:13:24Imran Shaikh is an education agent who we were told was up to his neck
0:13:24 > 0:13:25in fraud.
0:13:25 > 0:13:29He offered to get Panorama's undercover students
0:13:29 > 0:13:35thousands of pounds of student loan money we were not entitled to.
0:13:47 > 0:13:50The fee for faking attendance and supplying assignments, £1500 paid
0:13:50 > 0:13:53out of our student loan money every year we are on the course.
0:13:53 > 0:13:55From the evidence you have shown me, there is
0:13:55 > 0:14:02clear fraud going on and it needs to be referred to the police.
0:14:02 > 0:14:04He arranged for us to get on an HND diploma course
0:14:04 > 0:14:06at Grafton College in central London.
0:14:06 > 0:14:09But our cover story was that our student left school at
0:14:09 > 0:14:1116 and did not have the right qualifications.
0:14:11 > 0:14:14Another agent called Raza, who works for him, had an idea.
0:14:26 > 0:14:27A fraudulent certificate was made out in our
0:14:27 > 0:14:31undercover student's name.
0:14:31 > 0:14:34It was apparently supplied by an awarding body based on the floor
0:14:34 > 0:14:38above Grafton College.
0:14:38 > 0:14:39For the National Union of Students, crooked
0:14:39 > 0:14:42agents are damaging UK education.
0:14:42 > 0:14:44I am totally and utterly disappointed
0:14:44 > 0:14:49and disgusted that these people, these fraudsters, are actually
0:14:49 > 0:14:52exploiting students at the detriment of them wanting a degree to be able
0:14:52 > 0:14:54to progress in society.
0:14:54 > 0:14:56The government needs to do more in regulating these types of
0:14:56 > 0:14:58institutions.
0:14:58 > 0:15:01Grafton College and the awarding body both say they are
0:15:01 > 0:15:04unaware of any fraudulent activities.
0:15:04 > 0:15:06The College says that although Raza and Imran are on its
0:15:06 > 0:15:10premises from time to time, they are not authorised to act as agents.
0:15:10 > 0:15:13Neither of the agents responded to our allegations.
0:15:13 > 0:15:18Richard Watson, BBC News.
0:15:18 > 0:15:21And you can see more of Richard's investigation on tonight's Panorama

0:16:11 > 0:16:15Scientists at a United Nations climate conference in Germany say
0:16:15 > 0:16:17the main cause of the expected growth has been greater use of coal

0:17:28 > 0:17:32released from power stations, factories and different forms of
0:17:32 > 0:17:38transport -- more and more carbon dioxide. This shows how emissions of
0:17:38 > 0:17:42carbon dioxide have risen over three decades. In the last few years they
0:17:42 > 0:17:47have been levelling off which was seen as a positive sign but this
0:17:47 > 0:17:51year there has suddenly been an increase of 2% so what is happening
0:17:51 > 0:17:55and who is to blame around the world? In America, emissions of
0:17:55 > 0:17:59carbon dioxide have fallen slightly and that is despite President Trump
0:17:59 > 0:18:02wanting to leave the Paris agreement. In Europe they are on
0:18:02 > 0:18:07course to be down as well but in China they are up as the economy
0:18:07 > 0:18:12picks up and more coal is burned. Climate scientists say it is vital
0:18:12 > 0:18:16that less coal is used if we are to have any chance of heading off the
0:18:16 > 0:18:20worst of global warming will stop President Trump is promoting the
0:18:20 > 0:18:25coal industry and he wants America to help other countries to use it.
0:18:25 > 0:18:28There are countries that have said that coal is going to be part of our
0:18:28 > 0:18:32energy mix for the foreseeable future, many in Asia and some in
0:18:32 > 0:18:36Africa as well, and they have been clear that because coal is going to
0:18:36 > 0:18:41be part of their energy mix in the future, they want support for clean
0:18:41 > 0:18:45coal technology.There is now a battle over a few will that many
0:18:45 > 0:18:51economies rely on. There are plans to make coal cleaner, to use it
0:18:51 > 0:18:54without releasing carbon dioxide, but this is not much of a reality so
0:18:54 > 0:18:59far and in the meantime there are warnings that emissions need to fall
0:18:59 > 0:19:03rapidly, not rise, as they are now.
0:19:03 > 0:19:05MPs in Westminster have been debating a budget
0:19:05 > 0:19:07for Northern Ireland, after ten months without a devolved
0:19:07 > 0:19:09executive at Stormont.
0:19:09 > 0:19:12The power sharing government collapsed in January,
0:19:12 > 0:19:15and since then the DUP and Sinn Fein have failed to agree a deal
0:19:15 > 0:19:16to restore devolution.
0:19:16 > 0:19:25Our Ireland correspondent Chris Buckler is at Stormont tonight.
0:19:25 > 0:19:29After all this time, presumably Northern Ireland need a budget and
0:19:29 > 0:19:33quickly?Absolutely, public services here are starting to run out of cash
0:19:33 > 0:19:37and that includes departments like health and education so without a
0:19:37 > 0:19:40power-sharing executive here, Westminster has had no choice but to
0:19:40 > 0:19:45step in and legislate for a budget. Theresa May has been clear that she
0:19:45 > 0:19:49believes this is a one-off decision and not the introduction of what is
0:19:49 > 0:19:53known as direct rule is where London would take over the running of the
0:19:53 > 0:20:02apartments here in Belfast and she believed the DUP and Sinn Fein can
0:20:02 > 0:20:05come to an agreement that would see them return to government in the
0:20:05 > 0:20:08building behind me but frankly that is not looking likely. The DUP have
0:20:08 > 0:20:10said they believed direct rule could return sometime in a matter of weeks
0:20:10 > 0:20:13and Sinn Fein are insisting that the current talks to overcome the
0:20:13 > 0:20:16difficulties are now over and they want the British and Irish
0:20:16 > 0:20:20governments to come to some kind of partnership agreement to fill the
0:20:20 > 0:20:24void. In the meantime, Northern Ireland is stuck in a kind of limbo,
0:20:24 > 0:20:28halfway between devolution and direct rule. The one thing the two
0:20:28 > 0:20:32parties agree on is that power-sharing is not likely to
0:20:32 > 0:20:36return any time soon.Thank you.
0:20:36 > 0:20:40Bob Geldof has returned his freedom of the city of Dublin in protest
0:20:40 > 0:20:44against the Burmese leader Aung San Suu Kyi who was given the same
0:20:44 > 0:20:49honour. He described the treatment of the Rohingya Muslim minority
0:20:49 > 0:20:55community as mass ethnic cleansing and he said his home city had
0:20:55 > 0:20:58honoured Aung San Suu Kyi but now she had shamed Dublin.
0:20:59 > 0:21:01The Church of England is telling its schools that
0:21:01 > 0:21:03children should be free to explore their identity and that
0:21:03 > 0:21:07both boys and girls should be free to wear a tutu,
0:21:07 > 0:21:11tiara or tool belt without judgment.
0:21:11 > 0:21:15The updated guidelines aim to prevent children being bullied
0:21:15 > 0:21:17because of their sexual orientation or gender identity.
0:21:17 > 0:21:23Here's our religious affairs correspondent Martin Bashir.
0:21:23 > 0:21:27Dressing up is not just a favourite activity for the reception class
0:21:27 > 0:21:30at this London church primary school, it's also part
0:21:30 > 0:21:33of the curriculum designed to encourage individuality
0:21:33 > 0:21:39and discourage bullying.
0:21:39 > 0:21:44The Church of England has updated its advice for its 4700
0:21:44 > 0:21:46schools to protect children who may be considering transition
0:21:46 > 0:21:50from one gender to another.
0:21:50 > 0:21:52Being an individual is very important and respecting everybody's
0:21:52 > 0:21:56right to be an individual is very important to us.
0:21:56 > 0:21:58So if children aren't themselves then they cannot be free
0:21:58 > 0:22:03to learn, and that's key.
0:22:03 > 0:22:07The new guidelines say children should be allowed to try many cloaks
0:22:07 > 0:22:10of identity without being labelled and that a child may choose
0:22:10 > 0:22:13the tutu, princess's tiara, or a fireman's helmet
0:22:13 > 0:22:18without expectation or comment.
0:22:18 > 0:22:23Today's guidance is designed to prevent bullying in schools
0:22:23 > 0:22:26like this, but on the issue of human sexuality, there is deep division
0:22:26 > 0:22:30within the Church of England and some evangelical Christians see
0:22:30 > 0:22:32today's announcement as an attempt to erode the authority
0:22:32 > 0:22:38of the Bible and embrace an ever-changing culture.
0:22:38 > 0:22:43What people expect the Church of England to do is to set forth
0:22:43 > 0:22:46the framework for living as set out in the Bible.
0:22:46 > 0:22:49That way all made wonderfully in the image of God,
0:22:49 > 0:22:52male and female, and the Church of England today seems
0:22:52 > 0:22:56to have failed in its duty to say that to the nation.
0:22:56 > 0:23:00But the Archbishop of Canterbury, who expressed his support
0:23:00 > 0:23:03for the new guidance in writing and on social media,
0:23:03 > 0:23:08rejects this criticism, saying no child should be diminished
0:23:08 > 0:23:11by being reduced to a stereotype or a problem.
0:23:11 > 0:23:14Martin Bashir, BBC News, central London.
0:23:20 > 0:23:25This may not be what you want to see as you sit down to a meal.
0:23:25 > 0:23:28But we throw away around 10 million tonnes of food each year,
0:23:28 > 0:23:31and according to experts much of it is good enough to eat.
0:23:31 > 0:23:33There is waste throughout the food supply chain,
0:23:33 > 0:23:35but it's thought that the biggest problem lies with consumers
0:23:35 > 0:23:38and campaigners are urging us to be much more careful
0:23:38 > 0:23:41about what we throw away, as Jeremy Cooke explains.
0:23:41 > 0:23:44OK, it is past its sell by date.
0:23:44 > 0:23:46But this is, or was, food.
0:23:46 > 0:23:48What's this?
0:23:48 > 0:23:50Sushi.
0:23:50 > 0:23:55Grown, produced, processed, and discarded.
0:23:55 > 0:23:59A super-sized serving of stinking waste.
0:23:59 > 0:24:03It's amazing how much food is thrown out and it's amazing how long it's
0:24:03 > 0:24:04taken the message to get through.
0:24:04 > 0:24:09If you don't have to eat it, don't buy it.
0:24:09 > 0:24:11The striking thing here is the tonnes of food waste
0:24:11 > 0:24:15that we all throw away all the time.
0:24:15 > 0:24:18This stuff has come from bars and restaurants and businesses
0:24:18 > 0:24:21and there are mountains of it piling up here every day.
0:24:21 > 0:24:23Across the country, we throw away 10 million
0:24:23 > 0:24:26tonnes of food every year.
0:24:26 > 0:24:29That's £17 billion worth in the bin.
0:24:29 > 0:24:32And we're told 60% of that is avoidable -
0:24:32 > 0:24:38food that could have and should have been eaten.
0:24:38 > 0:24:41There is waste through the entire supply chain.
0:24:41 > 0:24:45From in the field, in the manufacturing,
0:24:45 > 0:24:47in the restaurant, in the retail, in the supermarket, distribution,
0:24:47 > 0:24:50and in the kitchen at home.
0:24:50 > 0:24:54Overproduction is a fact of the modern food industry.
0:24:54 > 0:24:56Most of the surplus - good, nutritious stuff - goes to waste.
0:24:56 > 0:25:00But here there's another way.
0:25:00 > 0:25:04All this, if it wasn't for Fareshare, would end
0:25:04 > 0:25:05up going in the bin.
0:25:05 > 0:25:07At the Fareshare charity, they take the surplus and use
0:25:07 > 0:25:10it to feed the hungry.
0:25:10 > 0:25:14The thing that really drives us nuts is it is going to waste
0:25:14 > 0:25:16while there are people going hungry.
0:25:16 > 0:25:18We feed at the moment half a million people a week,
0:25:18 > 0:25:22half a million people a week, with this food.
0:25:22 > 0:25:26We do that to 7000 front line charity and community groups.
0:25:26 > 0:25:30Which is good news here at the Melton Learning Hub,
0:25:30 > 0:25:35where disadvantaged kids get good, fresh food.
0:25:35 > 0:25:37For our kids it means they get hot meal.
0:25:37 > 0:25:40They definitely get a hot meal every day.
0:25:40 > 0:25:43Lots of different circumstances the young people come to us
0:25:43 > 0:25:46in and it is a brilliant way of using food that would,
0:25:46 > 0:25:47as you say, go to waste.
0:25:47 > 0:25:50But Luke and his mates know that this is the exception.
0:25:50 > 0:25:54Most surplus food is simply thrown away.
0:25:54 > 0:25:58This stuff, if it was like left on the shelf, it would get put
0:25:58 > 0:26:00into storage and get put in landfills and that
0:26:00 > 0:26:01and that's not good.
0:26:01 > 0:26:04Tackling the issue will mean dumping less food and doing more
0:26:04 > 0:26:07with whatever goes in the bin.
0:26:07 > 0:26:10Here it is used to make valuable fertiliser to generate
0:26:10 > 0:26:13gas and electricity.
0:26:13 > 0:26:16But most of our discarded food still goes to the incinerator
0:26:16 > 0:26:18or to landfill - perhaps the definition of waste
0:26:18 > 0:26:19in a hungry world.
0:26:19 > 0:26:22Jeremy Cooke, BBC News.
0:26:26 > 0:26:28We'll have more on waste tomorrow, looking at
0:26:28 > 0:26:30the ways we can reduce it.
0:26:30 > 0:26:32Time for a look at the weather.
0:26:32 > 0:26:37Here's Phil Avery.
0:26:37 > 0:26:40A beautiful picture but I guess it means it is pretty nippy.
0:26:43 > 0:26:48It was this morning, the milder air from the Atlantic brought this in
0:26:48 > 0:26:52parts of Scotland and at the same time further south the cold air gave
0:26:52 > 0:26:57a glorious start. But there is something of a transition already in
0:26:57 > 0:27:02hand as the mild air that was always around has pushed to the north of
0:27:02 > 0:27:05Britain ranked stoop weather fronts that have changed the wind
0:27:05 > 0:27:14direction. Sunday was all about the northerly, but no longer the -5 of
0:27:14 > 0:27:19last night, plus five or more for many parts about from maybe Scotland
0:27:19 > 0:27:27which has the best of the sunshine to start the day. Some rain in the
0:27:27 > 0:27:31Western Isles, but the south and Central Belt, we picked up the cloud
0:27:31 > 0:27:35and it thickens up in the North of England, East Anglia and across the
0:27:35 > 0:27:40Midlands and Wales. Only in the southern counties might see a bit of
0:27:40 > 0:27:45brightness to start the day. The theory is that we will drag that
0:27:45 > 0:27:50cloud further south, all the while with the breeze from the west, it
0:27:50 > 0:27:55might break up coming over the hills of Wales and the Pennines but no
0:27:55 > 0:27:59doubt the best sunshine is in Scotland. Relatively mild compared
0:27:59 > 0:28:08to today. But it comes at a price, fog on Wednesday morning could be
0:28:08 > 0:28:13dense in patches in the South of England and Wales. The best of the
0:28:13 > 0:28:18sunshine further north. As the day gets going, some of the cloud and
0:28:18 > 0:28:22fog will lift, some brightness in parts of England and Wales and in
0:28:22 > 0:28:27Scotland you have that weather front coming back at you in the West but
0:28:27 > 0:28:30Italy but it is relatively mild -- particularly.
0:28:32 > 0:28:35That's all from the BBC News at Six so it's goodbye from me
0:28:35 > 0:28:36and on BBC One we now join the BBC's news teams where you are.
