The 15,000 plus members still have to vote to ratify the deal. In a statement, the Writers Guild of america said we can say, with great pride, that this deal is exceptional with meaningful gains and protections for writers in every sector of the membership.

Cbs correspondent Wendy Gilette told me what this deal means. This tentative deal between the Writers Guild union and Hollywood Studios is a three year contract. Not many other details have been released just yet. If its approved by the unions 11,000 members, talk shows could get back to work within days. The Writers Guild is calling the agreement exceptional with meaningful gains and protections for writers in every sector of the membership. It follows five Straight Days of talks between the union and studio representatives. They do you sound quite happy with it, dont they, calling it exceptional . Just talk us through what their concerns had been. Well, the main sticking points in negotiations have included the regulation of artificial intelligence, Staffing Minimums for writers� rooms and residuals. Right now, picketing is suspended as members wait to vote on the deal. But the actors are still out on strike, arent they . Is there any sign of any imminent dealfor them . Yeah. Any projects that include actors will remain sidelined for now. There are predictions in the industry talks with their union, sag aftra will proceed more quickly since many of the unions demands overla p. The studios refused to negotiate with the actors union until a deal was reached with the Writers Guild. So if its passed, the studios will then move on to the actors union. The Writers Guild is encouraging members tojoin actors on their picket lines. The actors� strike started a little bit later injuly. It is the first time the two unions have been on strike at the same time since 1960. The army is on standby to support londons police after as many as 100 officers stood down from firearms duties. That followed a Murder Charge against one of their colleagues. The metropolitan police has demanded increased Legal Protection for staff carrying weapons. Vincent mcaviney reports. You would normally only see the army on The Streets Of London after a terror attack. But following the decision of over 100 officers to hand in their permit to carry a firearm, Military Personnel are on standby in case of an emergency. On sunday, Suella Braverman called for a review into armed policing. Her intervention was welcomed by the metropolitan Police Commissioner, sir mark rowley. In an open letter, he called for an urgent reset, writing that improvements to the met police were being undermined by a system not set up to help officers succeed, identifying Police Pursuits and the use of force as areas of the most glaring unfairness. He said officers need sufficient Legal Protection to do theirjob and keep the public safe, because theyre now more afraid of years of uncertainty for them and theirfamilies in the legal system than they are of confronting dangerous or armed criminals and terrorists. It all comes after a met Police Officer was charged on thursday with the murder of Unarmed Chris Kaba Last year. The 24 year old was fatally shot in a borrowed car in south london, a car the police say was linked to an incident involving a gun. The met police are keen to stress that Military Personnel will not be involved in armed patrols across the capitals streets. That work will be done by Police Officers, the majority of which, the bbc has been told, will be from the met. But their numbers will be bulked out with officers from other forces from across the country. Its understood, though, that some officers from those forces have refused to work in london in solidarity with their met colleagues. The Home Secretary said she ordered the review to ensure armed officers have the confidence to do theirjob. The big question, though, is whether that installs confidence in the communities they serve. Vincent mcaviney, bbc news. Earlier the bbc heard from a former officer who didnt want to be identified.

This is a major crisis for metropolitan Police Commissioner sir mark rowley stop that is not a bottomless pool of Firearms Officers in the uk to pick from in england and wales are in london. The numbers have been falling over the past few years, there are about 6000 across england and wales, just 4 of total officers, so when you have as reports suggest over 100, possibly as many as 300 deciding not to carry out their duties, that is a major problem, iconic and embassies that have members of the royal family and Cabinet Ministers and all the protection as well as having to respond to Firearm Incidents and terrorist incidents, it is a major crisis that no has to be resolved by the, what could be the solution . These are the ones representing rank and file officers and we heard how long representations can take and we heard about the toll on Mental Health of any officers caught up in any mastication. Health of any officers caught up in any mastication. Any mastication. Investigation. There have any mastication. Investigation. There have been any mastication. Investigation. There have been some any mastication. Investigation. There have been some like any mastication. Investigation. | there have been some like Firearm Officers who have faced criminal trial and in one case around ten years after the incident took place and that is completely unacceptable. Then the chris kaba case it has been a year since criminal charges were laid which is relatively quick but there will be another year until it is criminal trial and it could go on for several years and optionally thatis for several years and optionally that is a major problem but i think in the short term what sir mark rowley has to do is show Firearms Officers refusing to carry the weapons issue supports them and back is officers and is pressing particularly for greater Legal Protection for them and that is what he has done by writing that letter yesterday by writing to the Home SecretarySuella Braverman at lining he wants greater Legal Protection and raising the threshold the iopc needs to meet. These will not happen overnight by demonstrating he is on the side demanding change he will hope that those Firearms Officers who have withdrawn will return to duty.

How richer countries that have contributed more emissions can help poorer nations tackle Climate Change is the major challenge facing the next cop conference, which will be held in dubai in november. Former uk Prime Minister gordon brown, is setting out plans for a global Windfall Levy on Oil Producing countries to help the poorer ones. Earlier we spoke to gordon brown and asked him to explain his idea in more detail. We have got an explosive situation in the world today. We have got droughts, floods and fire storms hitting the poorest countries in the world, and yet at the same time we have got these unprecedented profits, Windfall Profits that have been made by the petro states and oil companies, and the extent of it is that it is 4 trillion, 4,000 billion in revenues in the last year, 2. 5 trillion of that a windfall, money that is unearned but money that should go to helping those people that are suffering from the high energy prices, and suffering from Climate Change as a result of historic emissions. That� s why i am proposing that the chair of the cop28, which is the united arab emirates, come forward with a proposal to kick start a new Financing Mechanism to deal with the mitigation and adaptation in the south and they then ask, after they pay a Windfall Levy, i suggest 25 billion, they then ask the rest of the rich countries to guarantee finance so we can eventually get to 1 trillion a year, which is what is necessary to deal with the developmental and Climate Change needs of the global south. That is a huge amount of money you� re looking for. Would this be on a voluntary basis . It could be a voluntary basis, but it depends on the pressure that is put on by the rest of the world. The chairman of cop28, who is after all the chairman of one of the Biggest Oil Companies in the world, has told people to put up the money. But as yet, the petro states have not done enough when they have been making the Windfall Profits. If you get 2. 5 trillion, which is 2,500 billion, which is almost as big as the economy of the uk, in windfall revenues, then instead of spending it on buying up sports teams, which is what saudi arabia is doing, they might spend it on helping those people who have been the victims of rising poverty and rising disconnections from electricity in the poorest countries of the world. I am proposing a burden sharing agreement. Let the current emitters pay up some of the money with this Windfall Levy. Let the historic emitters, mainly western countries, add to that. Let� s accept that the world bank needs to be properly refinanced and then we can raise the amount of money available to 1 trillion. When i chaired the g20 in 2009, we needed 1 trillion to underpin the world economy, 1 trillion in total. Now we need 1 trillion a year. And of course, the oil and gas revenues can contribute a great deal to it. These are massive additional, unprecedented, almost unimagined profits, bigger than at any time in the history of oil, that have been made in one year. And they may be made this year as well. Therefore, there should be a contribution to a Climate Solution that has eluded us for years. Around the world and across the uk, this is bbc news. Let� s look at some other stories making the headlines. A man� s been charged with murder after a woman was fatally shot in leicestershire.

Authorities in kosovo say they� ve taken control of a serbian 0rthodox Monastery in the territory� s north, ending a stand off with a group of heavily armed men. The gunmen are suspected of carrying out a night time attack, in which a policeman died. Here� s our balkans correspondent guy delauney. The shooting appears to be over and the monastery in north kosovo is again a quiet place of contemplation, worship and pilgrimage, but the mutual recriminations between serbia and kosovo have onlyjust begun. The serbian president has made a televised address to the nation, describing the killing of a Kosovo Police force officer as absolutely reprehensible, an event that could not be justified. However, he also made it clear that he thought the kosovo Prime Minister bore responsibility ultimately for the shooting and the events which followed, after a campaign of provocations against the ethnic serb minority who live in north kosovo. The authorities in pristina are unsurprisingly having none of that. The kosovo Prime Minister has described the armed group who carried out the attacks as being supported logistically and financially by official belgrade. Partne
