england was the first nation in europe to fully unlock injuly. other countries have followed but have taken a more cautious approach. after a summer of increased human contact, infections have increased. as this graph shows, the uk has one of the highest covid rates in europe, well above that of france or germany. but if you look at the daily covid deaths, while the uk is still higher, a real concern for health leaders, the gap between the countries shrinks. this is an example of the power of the vaccination programme, providing vital protection to those most at risk. how will we cope this winter? the government hopes vaccines will protect us this winter, with more than 2 million booster jabs administered in england alone. to protect schoolchildren where infections are highest, covid vaccines are being rolled out to over 12s, while the nasalflu jab is available to under 16s. issues obtaining consent have caused delays, potentially to the end of november. concerned about health risks and disruption to education, experts say other measures should b

joe biden, on this trip to europe, wants to show that america is leading the world on tackling climate change. but his 85—vehicle convoy — most of which were flown in from the us — may not be leading by example or, in this holy city, practising what you preach. jon sopel, bbc news, rome. political editor laura kuenssberg is also at the g20 in rome. she says the pressure to get a positive result at the summit is only going to get worse for the british government and its prime minister. do not underestimate how much political pressure there is on borisjohnson, having made this a priority for his goverment literally playing host to the world by the time all of the huge big show on the road here moves to scotland at the end of this weekend. there is of course a formidable alliance, whether that's the pope, arnold schwarzenegger, joe biden, borisjohnson, or other western leaders, who want to help the brits in their task of pushing the world further and faster on their commitments to help halt changes to the climate, but there are also formidable powers on the other side to aren't as e

for years, europe has depended on russia for much of its energy supplies. in all, the eu gets 40% of its natural gas from there and about a quarter of its crude oil. that means the kremlin has a big say in the price of our energy, and one ofjoe biden�*s closest advisers told me that influence could be exploited. we have long been concerned about russia using energy as a tool of coercion and a political weapon. we've seen it happen before and we could see it happen again. but do you think russia are going to try and exploit this? i think it would be a mistake for russia to try to exploit this. i think that would ultimately backfire on them and i believe that they should respond to the market demands for increased energy supplies to europe. the fear is that moscow is not supplying as much gas as it could — to put pressure on the eu to start using this, russia's new pipeline called nord stream ii. this would massively increase the amount of gas coming direct from russia, through the baltic sea, to germany, bypassing the other main route through ukraine. so

after all, that is what europe offers. and it has always been a pleasure for me, as it is for me now, to answer your questions. the full agenda was business as usual in terms of deliberations, but there was still time to pay tribute to the woman who has helped steer the eu through economic and migration crises to the covid—19 pandemic. while her legacy will be mixed, known as a pragmatist rather than a visionary, she is still by far the longest serving among current eu leaders. translation: she is someone who, for 16 years, has really _ left her mark on europe. she has helped all 27 of us to make good decisions with a lot of humanity at times that were difficult. i recalled in 2020 july, very up for the discussion on the financial framework, the resilience fund, and in critical moments, angela was that lady, that madam who intervened and helped us to find a solution. her influence spanning far beyond europe. so many people, girls and boys, men and women, have had a role model who they could look up to through challenging

and by 2030, well, we are the most ambitious country in europe, and by 2030, we are saying we will not have hydrocarbon internal combustion engines in new cars. that is a very ambitious target. we have just about the punchiest nationally determined contribution of any country. we are saying we will cut our co2 emissions by 68% on 1990 levels. we have already done aa%, that is a massive achievement. and we are doing that through technology. but through technology that allows us to deliver hundreds of thousands of high wage, high skilljobs. that is the plan. in september, you rated the chances of success in glasgow at six out of ten, what would you say now? i would say about the same now. everybody needs to focus... what the uk has been trying to do is to take the abstract concepts of net zero that we talked about at paris six years ago and to turn them into hard, sharp deliverables in terms of reducing coal use, reducing the use of internal combustion engines, planting millions of trees, and getting the cash that the world needs to finance green technology. that's what we are trying to

if you look at the rest of europe, nowhere else in the rest of europe generally is having to ask people to take a test once you're actually arriving in the country, so i think it puts us in line with other european nations. and as i say, it's a really positive news. people have been really confused over the last few months over which test they had to take, when they had to take them, and the removal of the predeparture test to get back into the uk was another really positive step forward, because for a lot of people, they wouldn't worry about going on holiday, but what happens if i catch covid abroad? do i have to quarantine abroad? so it's yet another thing that was taken away, another worry that was taken away and hopefully will encourage more people to book. got a little bit more news on this story of the pcr tests that are coming back negative even though people have had a previous positive lateral flow test. affecting over 40,000 in the south—west of england. we are now getting this story that potentially around 4000 possible inaccurate tests might be coming from people living in

pigs have been deployed by one of europe's busiest airports to keep geese away from the farmland in between the runways. but the team drafted in by amsterdam's schiphol airport won't be using scare tactics. the bbc s correspondent in the netherlands anna holligan has been to see them in action. are pigs the new scarecrows? i think pigs are the best scarecrows you can have. they are really big, large, moving, and they are a natural way of keeping the geese away. but their greatest attribute here is their appetite. they really like to eat everything. the idea is they will gobble up leftovers from the sugar beet harvest, removing the crop residue from this freshly turned soil that usually entices the winged trespassers. this is the sugar beet. when they harvest the crop, they take the sugar beet out. they sell the crop and they leave the top of the crop, the harvest residue, over here, and the birds really like it. but the pigs are here first, so they eat it and that is why the birds fly over and search for another place. this pig patrol is being used in combination with technological innovati

russia's has europe's highest fatalities at nearly 450,000 deaths. three people have been killed by security forces in sudan following mass demonstrations. it follows a military coup there earlier this week. hundreds of thousands of people took to the streets demanding the restoration of a civilian led government. 0ur senior african correspondent has this report. thousands of sudanese are on the streets in the capital and other cities. they chanted in praise of the revolution two years ago. protests like these helped bring down then—president 0mar al—bashir after three decades in power. these protesters are back on the streets to protect that revolution, they say. "may freedom live", they sang. freedom from military rule — a strong statement against the monday coup. 0rganisers called it the million—strong march. defiance against military rulers who declared a state of emergency across the country. but these civilians responded by staging protests from even before the coup was confirmed — and against all odds. phone lines are down, even shor

and while these standards are being applied in europe and in london for instance properly, of course not perfectly, but at least there is a process of legislation and the court has much to improve, but at least there are some rules. in the united states is covered in the set way but those uncovered at all. until recently congress the united states hasn't even obliged banks to ascertain who is the beneficial owner of a bank account. that was only passed recently, vetoed by president trump but eventually passed. so that is a good step. but still, trusts are a big loophole, especially when set up by lawyers in the united states. thank you very much indeed for that. so what is the united states government is going to do about it? lakshmi, is the policy director of the think tank in washington. thanks for being with us. i'm just trying to imaginejoe biden at the g20 in a few weeks' time lecturing other countries to go after these offshore profits, he is pressuring foreign governments to institute a global minimum tax, to close tax loopholes, and yet now we all learned that in several stat

the uk has probably got the leak is buildings in europe or probably the second worst. so we need to insulate while we also progress with the provision of clean heat to homes. how do we provide clean heat? heat pumps are obviously existing technology. there is a variety of the pump technology, they are not all the same, with the same level of performance. they have varying costs, the average cost of a heat pump for a house is in the region of £10,000. and we need to start phasing out the gas provision for heating as quickly as possible. we are talking about maybe phasing out, it's never going to happen in a harsh way but probably not going to happen before 2035, if you consider a typical gas boiler has a lifetime of 20 years, that would take a new installation with gas made in 2035 to still be operational in 2055. which is after when we are supposed to be heading net zero so we need to act swiftly to decarbonise heating. that's a really stark picture you paint of the timelines and the possible impact of installing a new gas boiler in the next 15 years. and of course re

joe biden, on this trip to europe, wants to show that america is leading the world in tackling climate change. but his 85—vehicle convoy, most of which were flown in from the us, may not be leading by example. or in this holy city, practising what you preach. after that meeting with the pope, president biden met his french counterpart, emmanuel macron. relations between the us and france had been strained by what's known as the aukus deal, which brought closer military co operation between america, australia and the uk while sidelining france from a deal to sell submarines to australia. that enraged paris and led to some frantic diplomacy to smooth things over. and president biden now says things could have been done a little bit better. what happened was, to use an english phrase, what we did was clumsy. it wasn't done with a lot of grace. i was under the impression that certain things had happened that hadn't happened. but i want to make it clear, france is an extremely, extremely valued partner. here'sjon sopel again. well, i think the french would want to move on from it, althoug

in august 2019, a spanish ngo boat rescued 147 migrants crossing from north africa to europe and asked to dock in the southern italian island of lampedusa. the hard—line anti—migrant matteo salvini was then interior minister and deputy prime minister and his trademark policy was to close ports to migrant rescue boats. screaming and crying for almost three weeks, they were kept on board in boiling heat and terrible conditions. prosecutors say that amounted to kidnapping and deprivation of their rights. mr salvini said the decision was taken by the whole government and claims he was defending italy. the actor richard gere, who was on holiday in italy at the time and travelled to sicily to deliver supplies to the migrants, has agreed to testify at the trial. i grew up a christian, i'm a buddhist now, but i can't imagine jesus christ would be happy with a law that says it's illegal to help people. it makes no sense to me, it's completely crazy. i'm ashamed for all of this planet that it is illegal to help people. if convicted, matteo salvini could in theory face up to 15 years in priso

we are competing with the rest of the world, the rest of europe for gas supplies. unfortunately, it is the reality. price comparison sites, which historically talk about how much we can save you by switching. the reality is that is not there at the moment, and very few people for the whole of this year, really, have been in a position where they would be able to save, compared to last year. still, producers confirmed they halted production at times of high demand, showing that industry, as well as consumers, is feeling the impact ——steel producers confirmed they halted production some of the heat was drawn from the crisis yesterday when russia said it would increase gas supplies to europe, helping to limit the latest surge in wholesale gas prices. but it hasn't ended because for the uk government to step in. the business secretary will be expected to address concerns of the energy sector today. but then also the worries of businesses and consumers in the weeks to come. let's talk to craig lowry, who studies the energy market for cornwall inside. tell us what th
