Hello everyone this is afternoon live. A powerful earthquake in western iran has killed nearly 350 people, and injured, its thought, more than 5,000. Rescue workers have been digging through the rubble in a hunt for survivors. Irans Emergency Services say theyre having trouble getting rescue teams to the affected areas, as roads have been cut off by landslides. The epicentre of the quake which measured 7. 3 hit the border between iran and iraq, just under 20 miles south of halabja and was felt as far away as lebanon and turkey. Richard galpin reports.

Scientists at a United NationsClimate Conference in germany say global emissions of Carbon Dioxide are projected to rise in 2017 for the first time in four years. They say the main cause for the expected 2 increase is the greater use of coal in china, as its economy expands. Our environment correspondent matt mcgrath is at the conference in bonn. According to scientists, 2017 will be one of the three warmest years on record, with the impacts of increasing heat felt right across the world. The key task for the 20,000 delegates and negotiators in bonn is tackling the root causes of these rising temperatures emissions of Carbon Dioxide. For decades, these rose strongly on the back of chinas rapid economic expansion, but in 2014, and for the next two years, these emissions stalled. Scientists wondered if a global peak had been reached. However, todays figures show that levels of carbon are back on the rise. Its so urgent that the emissions decrease rapidly. Its absolutely urgent. People dont realise emissions need to disappear, essentially, for the warming to stop. And theres only one way to do that, and that is to develop the policies, the actions and technologies and use them so that our emissions decrease everywhere. Many delegates here have been surprised by the reported rise in co2 emissions in 2017, partly attributed to the greater use of coal around the world. While there is no clear science on the subject, many negotiators are linking that rise to the growth of extreme weather events all over the planet this year. For small island states from the caribbean and elsewhere who have experienced what they see as climate related devastation this year, the latest co2 figures translate into a very real threat. What we do here is no cerebral. We need to minimise the effect of Climate Change on islands such as ours, which are at the front line of the fury of Climate Change. That wont cut much ice with us president donald trump, who wants to leave the paris climate pact. His advisers are in bonn to promote what they call clean coal, but whether anyone here is prepared to listen to that message is doubtful. Business leaders from across europe have met theresa may at downing street to discuss arrangements for trade after brexit. They want clarity on the future relationship with the eu and a transitional deal that maintains Current Trading arrangements. It comes during a tumultuous month for theresa may, in which two members of her cabinet sir Michael Fallon and priti patel resigned. Businesses care about the outcome in a sense, and what we have here is a negotiation that needs to pick up pace, it needs to recognise how urgent this is, we have a survey showing 60 of businesses will have triggered their contingency plans by march of next year, and we are hearing similar stories from European Businesses, so i think this isa European Businesses, so i think this is a message to both sides, that there is such a strong mutual interest about jobs and there is such a strong mutual interest aboutjobs and the performance and success of businesses, we need to get on with it and pick up the pace. Our Political Correspondent ben wright is at westminster. The pressure is now mounting for some sort of transition deal to be made. This feels like a critical couple of weeks, and be strong message that the Prime Minister will have been given, notjust by British Business group, but European Business group, but European Business groups, they need to know 110w business groups, they need to know now what sort of transition deal the government are hoping for and what terms it will include, and how the government will get there, they know the government are looking for what theresa may likes to call the Implementation Phase but we note the eu are withholding talks about that until the uks more candid about the money they are prepared to give. This will come to a head at the december meeting of the European Council injust december meeting of the European Council in just a few weeks. As Caroline Fairbank said, businesses 110w Caroline Fairbank said, businesses now have these contingency plans in front of them, the levers they need to pull if they think this is not going to be in their business interests, leaving the eu, and so they are looking for clarity from they are looking for clarity from the uk government. Where are we in terms of progress in the talks but not this has been raised in the commons. The talks . Not this has been raised in the commons. The talks . Yes, it was for the david davis is going to report back on the talks with Michel Barnier last week, maybe that will tell a lot about how he envisages the next few weeks going ahead of the next few weeks going ahead of the European Council meeting, and im sure will come under pressure to explain how he sees that timetable on folding and maybe he will be punished again on how the government are going to meet its financial obligations that it has promised to do so, notjust to make sure the eu budget is met for the uk contribution, during the two years after we have left, but the long term liabilities, that is where the conversations are stuck, we are talking about tens of billions, the government has given no detailed information about what it imagines those liabilities adding up to and whether it is prepared to pay them 01 whether it is prepared to pay them or not. And the situation of Nazanin Zaghari ratcliffe is also a big thing. Yes, the government is under pressure, especially borisjohnson, regarding her imprisonment, the Prime Ministers spokesperson said there were discussions going on about whether she should receive diplomatic protection which would be a significant escalation in sums of how this dispute was unfolding between the uk and around, it would ta ke between the uk and around, it would take it from being a consular matter to one with more serious legal implications between the uk and iran. The primers has raised it twice with the iranian president and she says they are doing anything they can to guarantee her release they can to guarantee her release the Prime Minister. However, some people have served borisjohnson should consider his position because of the way he has fumbled this in the last two weeks some people have said. The government trying to show they are on the front foot but they have got to respond to the questions in the house of commons. Thanks forjoining us.

Mps are due to begin debating a budget for Northern Ireland its usually a power reserved for the stormont assembly, but ministers in westminster say they have no alternative because of the failure to restore the power sharing executive. It collapsed injanuary and since then the dup and sinn fein have failed to agree a deal to restore devolution. Our ireland correspondent Chris Buckler has more. Northern ireland has been in a weird limbo, between devolution, where the politicians at stormont magazines, and direct rule from westminster, but that is starting to have a practical impact, because without a power sharing executive legislation cannot go ahead and that includes very practical things like budgets, and without a budget, Public Services are starting to run out of money, and the likes of schools and hospitals, they all need certainty to keep on going, and as a result westminster is having to step in, and theresa may has been very clear, this is a one off decision and it is not direct rule, the Prime Minister has been at pains to explain this to sinn fein and the dup. She told them they still want them to do a deal, they still want them to do a deal, they still want power sharing back up they still want power sharing back up and running here at stormont, but it is not looking likely at the moment, and the dup have only made clear they expect direct rule ministers to be in place even within weeks, and that is because without ministers you cant have decisions being taken, and that will mean westminster politicians will be making decisions for what happens here in Northern Ireland. That is not something sinn fein want, but they have given a News Conference at stormont, making clear that they dont see government returning any time soon, and they said the current phase of talks with the dup is over and they want something different, they want the british and irish governments to step in with a partnership agreement, but the parties are completely at odds on a range of issues, and that includes theissue range of issues, and that includes the issue of legislation for official status for the irish language, they cant seem to bridge that gap, and at the moment the two parties agree only on one thing, thatis parties agree only on one thing, that is government will not return to stormont any time soon. Bob geldof has returned his freedom of the city of dublin in protest against the burmese leader Aung San Suu Kyi, who has been given the same honour. The musician described the treatment by myanmars military of the Rohingya MuslimMinority Community as mass ethnic cleansing. The live aid organiser said his home city had honoured Aung San Suu Kyi you know, i dont want to give this up. I dont want to. Im really proud of it, you know, and i get handed things by states and cities around the world, but im a dub, and this meant very much to me. As i say, it doesnt mean much to anybody else, but to me, i dont want to do it. But its the most i can do, and the least. Youre watching afternoon live, these are our headlines. More than 350 people have died and thousands more are injured after an earthquake hits the border region of iran and iraq. Global emissions of co2 are projected to rise for the first time in four years mostly because china is using more coal. Business leaders from across europe have met the Prime Minister, to call for progress in the brexit talks and clarity on future trading arrangements. And these are the headlines in the sport. Gareth southgate says a mock mot shoot out at wembley could be the way to get over the nerves ahead of next yea rs world cup the way to get over the nerves ahead of next years world cup a mock penalty shoot out. People in england and wales who have guns, firearms and ammunition can hand them into police over the next fortnight without automatically facing punishment. The National Ballistics intelligence service, which is co ordinating the surrender, says many firearms are held without people realising theyre illegal. Those handing in guns wont be prosecuted for illegal possession but if the weapon is later linked to a crime, they could be questioned. Sima kotecha reports. Hand in your guns and no questions will be asked. That is what Police Forces across england and wales are saying today to try and get as many firearms off the streets. Yusuf sonko was shot dead in liverpool in june. He wasjust 18. His mum had this to say. I have a broken heart. Somebody killed my son. And the killer is still walking around. An innocent boy. Ijust ask people, if they have a gun in their house, they have to hand it to the police. A gun, a knife, is very dangerous. This is a selection of firearms that we have seen. Officers say when a fire arm is surrendered, nobody will be interrogated. However if the weapon is traced back to a crime, they could be questioned. We offer an amnesty at the point of surrender. So if you are in possession of a firearm and you give it to the local authority or police officer, then we will offer an amnesty at that moment in time. That does not mean that we will not Pay Attention to what the weapon has done in the past so we will look to examine that forensically and ballistically to see if the weapon has been involved in a crime in the past. It was here on this road that a 36 year old man was recently killed in a drive by shooting. Five men have been charged with the murder of mikael stirling. Police hope that the surrender will make an impact in areas like this one where gun crime is nothing out of the ordinary. Latest figures show there were almost 7000 Crimes Involving firearms in england and wales last year. Thats an increase of 27 on the year before. But the number of crimes is still far less than a decade ago when it was 31 higher. Police say the surrender is part of a strategy to reduce gun crime. We are realistic enough to realise that we are not going to get hardened gang members who are in possession of weapons they intend to use, hand in a gun. But this is part of our response to try and make it as difficult as possible for those people to come into possession of any type of weapon at all. Critics say those who want a gun will always find one. The surrender begins today and lasts for two weeks. Sima kotecha, bbc news, birmingham. The church of england has issued guidelines to its Primary Schools, suggesting that any child should be free to wear a tutu, tiara or superhero cloak when playing, without expectation or comment. The archbishop of canterbury, justin welby whos written a foreword to the new advice said Sexual Orientation should never be grounds for bullying or prejudice. Heres our religious Affairs Correspondent martin bashir. The church of england educates a million pupils in almost 5000 schools and first issued guidance on homophobic bullying three years ago. Todays announcement updates the advice to help children considering transition from one gender to another. The new guidelines say that children should be able to try out many cloaks of identity without being labelled or abused. That nursery and Primary School in particular is a time of creative exploration. And that a child may choose the tutu, princesss tiara, or a firemans helmet, without expectation or comment. The church and christians have different views on sexuality. This is not a document about human sexuality. It is a document about how we counter any form of bullying. So we are simply saying that the advice that we are giving and the documents and the resources that we are p
