At the guildhall in london, friends of saskia jones and jack merritt came with flowers to remember theirfriends. Britains political leaders also came to pay tribute. We stand in silence once more, following the atrocity on London Bridge last friday. Our city, vibrant and alive, yet threatened with death. Let us keep silent and remember. The brief service was inclusive of all faiths. Let us pray for all faithful muslims grieving at such acts taken in the name of theirfaith. The mayor of london spoke for the people of the capital. The best way to defeat this hatred is not by turning on one another, but its by focusing on the values that bind us, to take hope from the heroism of ordinary londoners and our emergency services, who ran towards danger, risking their lives to help people they didnt even know. Bell. In cambridge, a similar vigil was held. It was attended by leanne obrien, Jack Merritts girlfriend. They had just been on holiday together to celebrate his birthday. Tributes have also been paid to saskia jones, described by her friends as a determined, ambitious woman, who funded her studies at cambridge by working at mcdonalds.

This was only the first, fault young academics who came to celebrate rehabilitation but found only danger. A2 42 young academics. Our correspondent simonjones is at London Bridge. Two very moving vigils in london and in cambridge. Yes, thats vigil here in london took place less than a mile from here. A chance to remember the two Young CambridgeUniversity Graduates who lost their lives in the attack here. Also the three people who were injured, two of whom remained in hospital. Plus, the ordinary members of the public who decided that they need to do something extraordinary, helping hold down the attackerjust over there until the police arrived. Know we heard during the vigilfrom there until the police arrived. Know we heard during the vigil from the mayor of london and his dimensionless his message was one of defiance. He said london would not be powered by acts of terrorism. Ec that here on London Bridge today. It reopened and there have been a steady stream of people going out with normal life. What is not normal is the number of Police Officers both on the bridge and in the area. They are trying to provide reassurance of the public and also what you see is fishman or his hall where the attack began. And that is where the attack began. And that is where we have been hearing about extraordinary stories. The polish chef that was working in the basement when the attack broke out. He was cleaning glasses and he heard a scream and he decided to do something. He rushed upstairs and he was one of the people who grabbed something and fought with the attacker usman khan for around one minute. He sustained five injuries to his side. And then the attacker was chased out here. Another person used a fire extinguisher to try and stop any further people being hurt. The mayor of london said there are stories like that that we should really be talking about rather than people who want to get away from unity in this country. Simon, thank you very much indeed. The un secretary general has warned that the world is almost at the point of no return when it comes to Climate Change. Speaking as leaders gather in madrid for two weeks of talks, Antonio Guterres said the Climate Crisis was imminent and that it was essential that countries commit to more ambitious carbon cutting targets. Last week, the World Meteorological organisation said the level of Greenhouse Gases in the atmosphere had reached the highest level on record. Our global science correspondent Rebecca Morelle reports. There are warnings that the world could be at the point of no return. In africa, millions are facing hunger after cyclones and droughts. Its been a year of extremes, and scientists warn if temperatures keep on going up, there will be far worse to come. Now negotiators from 200 countries are gathering to begin two weeks of climate talks. Its the 25th round of this un meeting, where they are thrashing out the details of the plan to stop global warming. But the window to act is closing. Let us open our eyes to the imminent threat facing us all. Let us open our minds to the unanimity of the science. There is no time and no reason to delay. We have the tools, we have the science, we have the resources. Let us show we also have the political will that people demand from us. To do anything less will be a betrayal of our entire human family and all the generations to come. Here in madrid, the fate of the planet is under intense discussions. The un has already said we should try and keep Global Temperatures from rising above 1. 5 degrees to stop the worst effects of Climate Change. But this will mean drastic cuts to Greenhouse Gas emissions. It will require sweeping changes to the way we live, from using Renewable Energy instead of fossil fuels, to shifting to electric cars and making our homes more energy efficient. But there are warnings that nations are not going far enough. There are definitely things that individuals can do, from really checking how much meat you are consuming to whether an in country flight is really necessary, taking the train more, not using your car. But the reality is that a lot of the big stuff needs to come from governments. An individual can make a decision about purchasing an electric vehicle, but they cant lay down the infrastructure that would actually allow you to use it. So it really needs to be that combination of a whole of society push. On her way to the talks is 16 year old greta thunberg. Shes sparked a Global Climate movement, with millions of young people taking to the streets. They say the world needs to act on climate now because it is their future that is at stake. And rebecca joins us live now from the conference in madrid. Very strong warning there. Yes, that is right there is a sense of urgency and pressure to this meeting from the outside world. And the main message is the window of opportunity to act is closing. And governments really do need to be committing to more ambitious targets to try and limit global warming. I am joined by the glow that the global Climate Change lead to. This is the 25th round advance, but some people say there has not been enough action. Absolutely, we have been missing in action for it several decades. On one hand we need to ramp up the. 60 Million People in africa are suffering from increasing number of floods and cyclones and droughts. 9 Million People, particularly women and children are facing starvation and children are facing starvation and that number is going to go up to 45 million in the next five months. That is a crime emergency. The fact is developed countries have been using all kinds of dealing and bullying tactics and not allowing any progress to happen. We have a system, a mechanism that was established, but no funding is going to those people who are facing the emergency right now. You are based in india. India is an important part of the summit here. Are they doing enough . When it comes to a 2 degrees target india is doing it. And all the reports say that they are in line with keeping the emissions below 2 degrees, but when it comes to the 1. 5 degrees target india has to the 1. 5 degrees target india has to do more. But we must also recognise it is a developing company. And they have to put finance developed nations have to put financing on the table to help developing nations like indiana. I think that needs to be recognised that they are also suffering from Climate Change. It is a complex issue. Do you think there will be a big conclusion from this meeting . Absolutely. We are calling for a new syste m absolutely. We are calling for a new system to be established, so when ever developing nations face this kind of situation, the help from the un system will exist. That is a clear demand that we have and we hope to see some progress here. As you heard, two weeks of intense discussions which have just started today. It will be fascinating to see how it will play out. There is a real sense of pressure and urgency to the meeting here today. Rebecca, thank you very much indeed there in the trade. Lets get the latest on the trade. Lets get the latest on the general Election Campaign. And the conservatives have set out a five point plan which they say will strengthen Border Security after brexit. The proposals include an american style visa waiver scheme and greater powers to stop serious criminals, from the eu, at the border. Lets get more now from our Political Correspondent ben wright whos on the south coast where the Prime Minister is campaigning this afternoon. High, that Prime Minister is down on the south coast. He has just been for a tour of the sports on that boat. And the tories are keen to highlight some of the post brexit Border Security measures that they say will come in after the uk leaves the eu. Things we know about already a new Visa Waiver Programme that eu citizens wanting to come to the uk and uk citizens wanting to travel to the eu will have to comply with. Heart screening which borisjohnson says will increase security at British Ports of entry. Also highlighting things like a new system that would count people accurately who come into the uk, something that does not happen a p pa re ntly something that does not happen apparently very well. It could, but the tories are saying they will bring that in after brexit as well. That is what he is here doing. I imagine the Prime Minister is going to be asked about his response in the conservative partys response to the conservative partys response to the terror attack on friday and the tone, really. They have coming for criticism from friends and family of the two people who were killed who failed this has been crudely politicized. Perhaps inevitably, a deed very quickly become a political row about sentences and the like. That shows no sign of simmering down at the moment. I think borisjohnson felt he needed to be pretty aggressive when it came to answering questions about how this could happen and i think the heat of a general Election Campaign is not a place to have a considered discussion. But that is what is happening at the moment. Ok, then, thank you. Meanwhile labour has announced plans to slash rail fares by a third and simplify ticket prices for part time workers if the party wins the election. They also want to make train travel free for young people under the age of 16 and build a Central Online booking portal with no booking fees. The proposals are part of broader plans by the party to nationalise the uks train system. Hundreds of thousands of commuters in southern england are facing weeks of rail disruption after members of the rmt union on South Western Railway began a major strike. They will take part in 27 days of industrial action lasting until new years day. Passengers have been warned that only around half of services will run, including those to and from london waterloo, the countrys Busiest Railway station. Theo leggett reports. The picket line was in place early this morning at london waterloo as commuters faced a journey to work that was even more stressful than usual. South western railway, which runs services into london waterloo from towns such as portsmouth, weymouth and reading, is facing 27 days of disruption thanks to a strike called by the rmt union. And passengers were faced with far fewer trains than usual. The train pulling in behind me is the 7 37am service from guildford to london waterloo. Im going to try and get aboard it but i suspect it is going to be rather crowded. I did manage to squeeze on board but others were not so lucky. At earlsfield on the outskirts of london, people were forced to queue just to get into the station. Some 600,000 people normally travel on the South Western RailwayNetwork Every weekday. The company runs 1800 daily services. But during the strike that figure is down to about 1000. The dispute focuses on the role of guards aboard trains. On newer trains being introduced next year the drivers will be able to close the doors themselves removing one of the guards main duties. But the rmt says that that will undermine safety. The guard is the person that dispatches a train, makes sure no one is stuck in the doors of the train. And the management want to take that role away and put it on a driver who doesnt want it. The driver is busy enough. We have seen trap and drag accidents go through the roof. We have seen assaults on the train increase by over 100 in the last five years. And the last thing we need to do is get rid of the safety critical guard. The Train Company insists that passengers will not be put in danger. We are committed to retaining a guard on our trains with safety Critical Skills but we want to make sure that when the new trains come into service from the middle of next year they are operated in the best possible way to give our customers and more punctual service. Commuters who made it to london today seemed resigned to the situation. This isjust the beginning of the strike, it usually gets progressively worse. We paid for a full season ticket and i will lose money on it. It is very busy and uncomfortable on the platforms. Not quite sure how the rest of the month will go. So far it seems the disruption has been serious but not disastrous. The evening rush hour may offer a sterner test of South Western Railways emergency timetable. Youre watching afternoon live.
