The FA's director of women's football Baroness Sue Campbell is on next. She says that one of the aims after England's Women's Euros win over the summer was to guarantee access to football to all schoolgirls - but that this hasn't happened.

Campbell says that then-PM Liz Truss and Culture Secretary Michelle Donelan paid her a visit and gave the FA their support to encourage girls into sport. "The players are very committed to follow this through," says Campbell. "They won't be shaken off - they're as determined as they were to win the Euros."

Sue Campbell is then shown a video in which the Lionesses say what her support and tireless work has meant to them: "You see now the fruits of her labour," the players say, thanking her for the hours "on and off the field fighting for us".

A visibily emotional Campbell says the teams is a "very special group of women" and that this summer's success has taken "years" to put together. "We added that magic piece to the jigsaw - a world-class coach," she adds, paying tribute to Sarina Wingman.

Sir Ed Davey, leader of the Liberal Democrats, is also a former energy secretary in the coalition government of 2010-2015.

He says he doesn't think COP27 will be a success due to a lack of leadership from both the UK and other countries. "People haven't seen the opportunities

Today, the Lib Dems announced a plan to help homeowners pay their mortgages by giving anyone facing a rise in payment mortgages a grant of up to £300 a month. Davey says that this will help many families struggling with food and energy costs: "I am quite alarmed that the Conservatives who caused this mess are not actually trying to help."

Davey says the scheme will only help people who are "really struggling": "Banks have got to reach out and help their customers... if people are struggling the banks need to work through people with arrears and facing repossession. There is a real onus on banks to step up."

"If they fail, then there needs to be some help from the government - as there used to be."

Davey says the "extra cash" would go to people whose mortgages have gone up the most and who are struggling the most.

Kuenssberg moves on to the growing political row about allegations that government minister Sir Gavin Williamson sent "bullying" messages to then-Chief Whip Wendy Morton during the time of the Queen's death about which MPs got to attend the funeral.

Dowden says the messages were sent "in the heat of the moment" and Williamson accepts that he "shouldn't have sent them and he regrets it".

It was "no secret" that Sir Gavin did not enjoy "a good relationship" with Morton, Dowden says, and that even though it was a time of "heightened frustration" the messages were not acceptable.

Dowden says the matter is subject to a complaints process - but adds the prime minister was not aware of this specific exchange of messages when he decided to bring Sir Gavin back into government as a minister.

Turning to the issue of migrants coming to the UK via small boats from France and the row about overcrowding at the processing centre in Manston, Kent, Dowden says it is "being dealt with".

Shown a graphic which describes how the number of arrivals to the UK via small boats has grown exponentially in recent years, Dowden says it is a "deplorable situation" and it's "unacceptable".

He says 1,800 people remain at the Manston site - which is closer to its capacity - and he adds that the prime minister is "totally seized" of the issue.

"It will be challenging for any government" to control the arrivals, he tells Kuenssberg, adding that the people who are "paying the price" is "legitimate refugees from Ukraine and Afghanistan".

The next guest on Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg is Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster Oliver Dowden - otherwise known as the prime minister's "fixer" in Whitehall.

Starting off with the COP27 UN climate change conference in Egypt - he says that important steps were made at the summit in Glasgow last year but further progress needs to be made this week.

He points to the UK's record on climate change - noting that progress has been made on renewable energy and that Britain was one of the first countries to legislate to make to make it a legal requirement to become a net zero emitter of carbon dioxide.

But asked if the urgency has faded since COP26 in Glasgow, Dowden says the PM is "strongly committed" to climate action - even though Rishi Sunak said he would not go to the talks in Egypt.

Dowden says while the PM's priority has been the economy, he'd made "good progress on the autumn statement last weekend" so was able to change his mind and attend the summit.

Miliband rebukes the idea that the UK would pay "reparations" to countries that are suffering more from the effects of climate change, but that "aid and solidarity" to poorer countries badly affected by climate events - such as Pakistan recently - is a sign of "global solidarity".

He confirms a Labour government would support poorer countries. "It's morally right and in our self-interest too," he says, adding that the climate crisis creates refugees.

Miliband is asked why people in this country should be asked to make sacrifices for climate when huge emitters like China and India dwarf anything anybody in this country could do to make a real difference to climate change.

"My offer and my appeal to people is we should go green for better lives - not worse lives.

"Ten years ago I would've said this is the ethical choice - maybe not the economic one. But that's what's changed. Solar and wind power are nine times cheaper than fossil fuel," Miliband says, adding that Labour's commitment to go carbon neutral by 2030 will cut bills. "This is about jobs and wealth and opportunity," he says.

Labour has pitched the idea of "GB Energy" - a publicly-owned domestic energy company - which Miliband says it will create jobs, guarantee energy security and ensure the country meets its sustainable commitments.

"This isn't to replace the private sector - it's to partner with it," Miliband says. "It would drive partner investment."

Miliband is then quizzed on Egypt's human rights record. Under Presdent El-Sisi, who has been in power since 2014, the Egyptian government has cracked down on civil society. British-Egyptian national Alaa Abd El-Fattah, an activist, has been in jail in Egypt for nine years and is on hunger strike.

"Do you have any sense of shame in going to COP?"

"This is a very serious issue," says Miliband, promising to talk to El-Fattah's family before he goes to Egypt and will "make sure to raise it with the Egyptians while I'm there."

Steering the conversation back to climate, Miliband repeats that Britain "can't abdicate from leadership."

He says he does not want to "underestimate the importance of the issue" of El-Fattah but that "the right thing to do is to go and raise it and then tackle issues of climate."

Laura Kuenssberg first asks the shadow climate change secretary Ed Miliband whether the chance to keep global warming to 1.5C has slipped out of our reach entirely.

Miliband says the UN has declared we are now heading to 2.8C - partly because the promises of Glasgow's COP were not kept.

"We're in the midst of an energy crisis," he says. "I want to bring the message that it's now cheaper to save the planet than to destroy it… because renewables are so much cheaper than fossil fuels. It's a dire situation, but there is reason for hope. What we need is British leadership to bring this agenda forward."

But is this kind of summit helpful, Laura Kuenssberg asks. Thousands of people travelling to a city only for promises not to be kept: what's the point?

"It's an imperfect process, but its the best we've got," Miliband says. "Climate crisis is a global problem we can't solve on our own."

Miliband insists that the switch to renewables "is the opportunity of the future. This is the message we should be taking to COP."

Was last year's Glasgow summit a failure?

Miliband says there is "a vacuum of leadership" and therefore there is a "chance for Britain to lead" to deliver zero carbon power by 2030.

"We've got to lead… The point of building alliances is to get others to come with you."

The programme begins with the panel discussing what they think are the key questions.

COP27 is the big talking point - can the UK afford to act on climate change - or is no price too high when it comes to the future of the planet?

Prof Myles Allen, climate expert says we have very little time to act on global warming - especially the aim of limiting the increase in world temperature to 1.5C

Labour MP and select committee chair Dame Diana Johnson picks up on the Manston immigration processing centre row, which features in the papers - and asks what Home Secretary Suella Braverman is doing about it.

Ex-Tory MP Justine Greening considers the allegations that minister Sir Gavin Williamson sent "bullying" messages to the former chief whip. She says it's the third time Sir Gavin has embarrassed the government - as he has been sacked twice as a minister by former PMs Theresa May and Boris Johnson.

On the show first is Labour’s shadow climate change secretary Ed Miliband. We’ll find out what he has to say about the Williamson allegations, and get his reaction to Prime Minister Rishi Sunak’s call for the world to move faster in transitioning to renewable energy.

What are the big issues to be discussed on this week’s Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg?

Expect questions to the politicians on Rishi Sunak’s appointment of Sir Gavin Williamson to his government amid claims by the former chief whip that he sent “bullying” text messages.

There’ll also be plenty to discuss in terms of the UK’s commitment to tackling climate change as the COP27 summit gets under way in Egypt - and the continuing row about how the government is treating migrants who arrive in small boats off the Kent coast.

All this and more to come in the next hour.

Tens of thousands of people will be jetting to an Egyptian holiday resort beside the Red Sea this weekend in an effort to tackle climate change.

It sounds like a joke, but this latest UN climate summit - COP27 - is reckoned to be the world's best hope of progress on the climate issue.

Progress is certainly needed.

The global effort to cut emissions is "woefully inadequate" and means the world is on track for "catastrophe", the UN warned last week.

But the meeting in Sharm El-Sheikh is shaping up to be a prickly and confrontational affair.

The Egyptian hosts have set themselves a tough challenge. Last year's UN climate conference in Glasgow delivered a host of pledges on emissions cuts, finance, net zero, forest protection and more. Egypt says their conference will be about implementing these pledges.

What that really means is it will be all about cash, and specifically getting wealthy nations to come good on their promises of finance to help the developing world tackle climate change.

So expect the main battle lines to be between the north and south, between rich and poor nations.

Spin back 12 months to the COP26 climate change summit in Glasgow and you couldn't move without tripping over a world leader, a FTSE boss, even the Archbishop of Canterbury.

The conference was an enormous affair where hours and hours of negotiations took place about how countries large and small, north and south, could work together to try to slow down climate change and manage its impact.

There was another vital ingredient last year though: political energy.

There was no doubt that the then-Prime Minister Boris Johnson took the issue seriously. There was a visible desire in the government to act to manage climate change and for the UK to take, and be seen to take, a prominent role.

There were some grumbles in the Conservative Party but the political push from the top to grasp the issue last year was strong and clear. The UK had to be at the forefront of tackling climate change, and couldn't afford not to.

But as leaders touch down this weekend for COP27, is the UK's commitment still as strong?

First off, the simple optics of the last few weeks suggest not. There was a straightforward argument against Prime Minister Rishi Sunak's attendance at COP. He's only just moved into No 10 and the economy is in bad shape. Summits are, putting it politely, not always a good use of important people's time.

But changing his mind has sent a different message.

One climate expert said: "The Sunak flip-flop doesn't demonstrate the level of leadership Johnson had."

If you forget the fuss about Mr Sunak's change of heart, there are signs that climate change has moved down the agenda since last year.

As we’ve been hearing, Liberal Democrat leader Sir Ed Davey is on Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg this morning, ahead of a big speech he’s making in London at lunchtime where he will set out his party’s plans for the country.

Among the proposals he’ll set out later is a £300-a-month grant to help homeowners with their mortgage in response to rising interest rates. Sir Ed will say in his speech that the Conservatives, due to Liz Truss and Kwasi Kwarteng’s September mini-budget, should step in and offer the cash to households.

He’ll also attack Prime Minister Rishi Sunak’s decision to reappoint Suella Braverman as home secretary a week after she quit over breaking data security rules.

And Sir Ed will assess his party’s chances at a general election, saying the Lib Dems are well placed to win seats in the Tories’ “blue wall”.

The start of this year’s ITV reality show I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here provides the lead story for several papers this Sunday.

The Sunday Mirror leads with criticism of singer Boy George’s participation in the programme. A man George was convicted of attacking in 2007 tells the paper the pop star is a “monster” and should not be taking part in the show - in which each campmate, according to the Mirror, is paid £500,000.

The Mirror’s sister title, the Sunday People, also leads on I’m A Celebrity. It reports that Conservative MP and former health secretary Matt Hancock decided to go on it in the hope “it will lead to a new career”.

Hancock is also on the front page of the Daily Star Sunday, as part of a report which suggests insects (they feature in the show’s Bush Tucker Trials - hence the link) are responsible for one-fifth of methane emissions - which is a greenhouse gas.

Elsewhere, the Sunday Telegraph says Chancellor Jeremy Hunt is planning a “£10bn tax grab from the better off” by targeting pension relief for higher rate taxpayers. And the Sunday Times says it has exposed a global hacking network targeting politicians, journalists and government officials.

As ever, joining Laura Kuenssberg to give their take on today’s political interviews are the panel.

This week senior Labour MP Dame Diana Johnson, former Conservative MP and education secretary Justine Greening, and Professor Myles Allen of Oxford University will reflect on what they’ve heard.

Diana Johnson is the Labour MP for Hull North - a seat she has represented since 2005. Dame Diana trained as a barrister and was a minister in the Labour government until the party’s defeat at the 2010 general election. She was made a dame in the 2020 New Year’s Honours list and in 2021 took over as chair of the Commons Home Affairs select committee.

Justine Greening was the Conservative MP for Putney in south-west London until 2019 after announcing she would not contest the next general election. She was education secretary in Theresa May’s government until 2018. Greening is the co-founder of the Social Mobility Pledge campaign.

Myles Allen is professor of geosystem science at the University of Oxford and director of the Oxford Net Zero initiative. His research looks at how human and natural influences contribute to climate change and the risks of extreme weather.

Welcome to our live and continuous coverage of today’s big political interviews as we bring you text coverage, reaction and analysis from Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg.

With the UN climate change conference COP27 taking place in the Egyptian resort of Sharm El-Sheikh this week, we’ll hear from cabinet minister Oliver Dowden.

Outlining how Labour would tackle carbon emissions and support global efforts to limit greenhouse has emissions is shadow climate change secretary Ed Miliband.

We’ll also hear from Sir Ed Davey, leader of the Liberal Democrats ahead of a major speech he’s giving later today. Because the party’s conference was cancelled during the period of national mourning following the death of the Queen, it’s being billed as a chance for Sir Ed to set out his party’s key policies.

Following the Lionesses’ success at the Women’s Euros back in the summer, Laura Kuenssberg has been speaking to Baroness Sue Campbell who’s head of women’s football for the FA about how they will find the next generation of players if the sport is not freely available to all girls at school.

And if that wasn’t enough - Star Trek actor William Shatner is on the programme. He’s written a memoir taking in his flight to space last year onboard Amazon boss Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin capsule.
