Helen catt reports, theres been concern in political circles about the plans. Reducing the uks emissions to net zero by 2050 is set in law. By then, the country will only be able to put as many pollutants into the atmosphere as it can take out. But rishi sunak is about to make a significant gear shift in how the government plans to get there. Ministers insist its just the route thats changing, not the destination. The Prime Minister is taking an approach of pragmatism and proportionality when it comes to delivering our net zero commitments. Its right that he assesses the issue as a whole, taking into account peoples bank balances, livelihoods. And ultimately, were not going to save the country by bankrupting the british people. Delaying measures such as bans on new oil and gas boilers has been called for by some Conservative Mps who agree that it would be a burden on households. But the former cabinet minister, sir alok sharma, seen here with the king and mr. Sunak, is among those who worry it will cost votes and international influence. Some Opposition Politicians think mr sunak is misreading the public mood. We know investment in the Green Economy is good forjobs, its good for our environment and its good for the economy. So basically he seems to be doing this simply to to draw some political dividing lines with labour. That isjust so reckless. Car makers have said theyre concerned about the suggestion that the ban on new petrol and diesel cars could be moved back from 2030. In a statement, ford said. The view of the industry is were on track for the ending fossil fuel vehicles. Its not for turning back and the uk should be leading it both its expected that labour will recommit to the 2030 date if the government announces its delaying it. Government has been signing off hundreds of millions of pounds of Taxpayer Subsidies to help businesses get ready for these long held changes. And now rishi sunak is you turning via leaks and midnight statements from the bunker at Downing Street. I mean, its not how you run a country. Rishi sunak will now set out his plans in Downing Street later this afternoon. Theres no doubt itll be a significant move on a major issue. Hes under growing pressure to explain exactly why hes making it. Lord deben is former chair of the Climate Change committee and current chair of sancroft international, a sustainable consultancy firm. He told us what he was expecting to hearfrom rishi sunak. Certainly the things that the press have said. But if he does put back the timing of the cars, which will be all electric or the equivalent, that will be very damaging internationally, theyre very damaging for the industry itself, it will mean that motorists will not get the benefits of lower prices as quickly as they would otherwise have, and he will have neither commitment, ambition or consistency, which are the three things which quite rightly the Motor Car Industry in the form of ford have asked for. Now, all those might say proponents of this watering down, as its been described, that the uk has made Good Progress so far when it comes to reducing emissions, which have fallen since 1990 by around 48 . So things are on track, people might say. No, theyre not, because those figures only work if you go back to 1990. If you go back for the last few years under this government, we have fallen behind. Germany is now leading. We are doing much less well in all our Climate Change policies than the United States and the rest of europe. And even china has now moved up the scale with its very considerable commitment to more offshore wind and photovoltaics. So the fact of the matter is that whereas we were leaders three years ago, we are now tail end charlies as far as the major countries are concerned and this will make it worse. And if this is as we understand it, then it will not enable us to Reach Net Zero by 2050. We were already missing the target, Climate Change committee calculated that absolutely in detail. And i announced that in my last report quite clearly and said what the government had to do and it was to do new things and additional things, not cutting out the old ones. And that is exactly, too, what chris skidmore, the governments own investigator, said in his report, which he did for the government. Some Breaking News on that story. It comes from our news desk in westminster and that is that the speaker of the House Of Commons cert Lindsay Hoyle has criticised the government for announcing a major policy shift on green targets just hours after the Uk Parliament has gone into recess for the Party Conference season. The spokeswomen for mr oils office said if he had the power, the speaker would recall the power, the speaker would recall the house immediately and the statement goes on the house immediately and the statement goes on to the house immediately and the statement goes on to stay the house immediately and the statement goes on to stay that writing to the Prime Minister to that today to express that view in the strongest of terms. The statement continues, this is not the way to do business. Ministers answer to mp5 and we do not have a president ial system here. Some very scathing comments theyre coming from the speaker of the House Of Commons, cert Lindsay Hoyle. That is ahead of the News Conference and statement we are expecting from the british Prime Minister, rishi sunak, in the next half and our. A spokeswoman for sir Lindsay Hoyle continues that mps with very different views on this issue have expressed their disquiet on the way this has been handled especially as the commons rose early last night so there was plenty of time for this statement to be made. She went on to say that the unelected House Of Lords would have the opportunity to scrutinise the Policy Announcement in response to the question tabled by a peer. We will be getting reaction on that latest on the story and will be trying to get reaction from the Prime Minister office and we have that News Conference in the next half an hour for that subject. I spoke also to anthony brown, the Conservative Mp for South Cambridge and the chair of the all Party Parliamentary environment group. I dont know exactly the announcement the Prime Minister will make shortly. I think the important thing is we get to net zero by 2050 and that is the ultimate commitment. We have a pragmatic deliverable plan to get there and thats what i absolutely want to see. And i hope we do it in a way that is fair to the british people. And if there are huge costs such as changing borders and so on, we need to find a way that people can live with that and the policy is aligned to that. What i want to see is a pragmatic, deliverable programme to get to net zero by 2050 that isnt about wishful thinking. It has to be a real, concrete plan and im confident that is the sort of person rishi is. I attended a meeting with him a couple of weeks ago and i know he is committed to getting to net zero by 2050 and i know he is someone who looks at how to deliver something rather than just making an announcement and hoping it follow. The other thing, as lord deben talked about, the last couple years, since 2010, we have cut Carbon Dioxide by nearly 40 which is twice the rate of the eu and twice the g7 average. Its more than any other g7 country. We dontjust have the largest Offshore Wind Farm in the world, we have the largest four in the world and eliminated coal for electricity production. We have done so much and are racing ahead of other countries. If the uk is racing ahead, why did the Climate ChangeCommittee Report earlier this year that continued delays in Policy Development and implementation in reaching that target by 2050 was increasingly challenging and you also hearfrom Greenpeace Uk saying that that report from the Climate Change committee was a pitiful catalogue of rishi sunak� s climate failures . There are clearly a lot of people know about this area and dont think things are going as well as you say they are. Its absolutely right that groups like greenpeace hard the government to that. And basically were saying that the current mix of policies needed to be implemented in order to get to 2050 and i dont think. I dont know what else he will say in the next hour or so but that is im sure what he says will be consistent with that. You need the policies to deliver that and implement those policies. And part of the report is saying there are a lot of things we still need to do which is absolutely true.

The local administration in the enclave has also agreed to start talks on how to integrate the territory into azerbaijan. The separatists say 32 people were killed injust over a day of fighting, including two children. These latest pictures show around 2,000 people being moved to safety. Russia, a former power in the region, says it has offered humanitarian and medical assistance. The fighting has been intense, this is video filmed in stepanakert, which is the capital of armenian controlled Nagorno Karabakh. The sound of shelling can be heard in the distance. Earlier we heard from our correspondent in tbilisi, rayhan demytrie, whos been following the story. The latest is that there is quite a lot of uncertainty for the Ethnic Armenians living in Nagorno Karabakh. We have seen Video Footage of many people gathering at the airport in stepanakert, the regional capital, even though the airport never functions because the airspace was closed by azerbaijan. We know many people are seeking shelter at the russian peacekeepers base in Nagorno Karabakh. Ive been in touch with some people and last month i visited the armenian side of the conflict in an effort to report on the blockades that were in place for many months and today i was reaching out to these people because they are divided, they are Karabakh Armenians but stuck in armenia are unable to reach karabakh because the only road was shut for many months. They say they cant reach their families over the phone and some people are still in the basement. The humanitarian situation of whats happening on the ground sounds. People feel very vulnerable and uncertain about what the future holds after the authorities earlier today signed the Ceasefire Agreement with azerbaijan that was mediated by russia, basically capitulating to azerbaijan. Earlier i spoke to alissa de carbonnel, the Deputy Program director for europe and central asia at crisis group. I asked her about the sustainability of the cease fire. The sustainability of peace is how baku managed the situation Going Forward. Its absolutely no surprise that it has an easily military victory. It was a lightning operation. But how it manages talks with the armenians that remain in the region and the safety and security of that population is critical. �. ,. , critical. And where do you see thins critical.

They have already lived through nine months of blockades that led to shortages of medicine and food and there was no bread in bakeries. This was a couple of days before the Military Operation. And now, there are reports that theres been Filtration Camps and this is an incredibly critical humanitarian situation and humanitarian organisations need to be given access and the Global Community needs to stay on top of developments and hold them to account and how it manages the situation Going Forward.
