Alok Sharma needs to turn up the drama to get COP where it needs to be, says Ed Miliband. Instead of ‘No Drama Sharma’, the former Labour leader thinks the president of COP26 should go for ‘High Drama Sharma’. Political sleaze is also on the agenda as Laura K noses around Westminster to check which MPs are in the office.
And Adam shares some (unscientific) analysis about whether Newscasters are more likely to listen when they are walking the dog or brushing their teeth.
Today’s Newscast was made by Alix Pickles, Georgia Coan, Danny Wittenberg and Ros Jones. The assistant editor is Alison Gee. The editor is Jonathan Aspinwall.

We're still assembled in Glasgow as the climate summit reaches its climax. After two weeks of intense talks, negotiations are continuing over a final deal to try and slow temperature rises. Former PM Tony Blair tells us what he believes can be achieved before the conference (finally) comes to an end.
Adam also catches up with the BBC’s Science Correspondent, Rebecca Morelle, and rubs shoulders with our broadcasting rival, Robert Peston, as we go through the changes to the draft agreement.
Plus, we speak to Newscaster Dr Amanda Edgeworth, who emailed in about the role she played in an extraordinary cave rescue earlier this week.
