Speaker 1: Good afternoon. Today is Monday the eighteenth and November twenty
0:13
Speaker 1: twenty four, just after one o'clock. Welcome to the UK
0:16
Speaker 1: column News. I'm your host, Brian Gerrish. Delighted to be
0:19
Speaker 1: joined by Dan, Diane Beggar, pardon Diane, Diane Rasmus and
0:24
Speaker 1: mccaddy and also Ben Rubin. Now we're going to get
0:28
Speaker 1: straight off with Ukraine. Things in Ukraine with respect to
0:34
Speaker 1: the war are getting very serious, we could say very interesting.
0:38
Speaker 1: But the clear information is that Russia is winning on
0:42
Speaker 1: the battlefield and this is causing huge consternation in the US,
0:46
Speaker 1: the UK and the West in general. But as always
0:50
Speaker 1: we're going to have a look at how BBC is
0:52
Speaker 1: dealing with the matter, and this is their primary headline today,
0:56
Speaker 1: how long range missile striking Russia could affect Ukraine war well.
1:01
Speaker 1: This headlined is a result of the declaration by the
1:06
Speaker 1: Americans that the Ukrainians are going to be allowed to
1:09
Speaker 1: strike into Russia. This is part of the comment in
1:13
Speaker 1: the BBC article. I don't think it will be decisive,
1:17
Speaker 1: a Western diplomat in Kiev told the BBC, but they
1:21
Speaker 1: requested anonymity due to the sensitivity of the matter. However,
1:25
Speaker 1: it is an overdue symbolic decision to raise the stakes
1:31
Speaker 1: and demonstrate military support for Ukraine. It can raise the
1:36
Speaker 1: war cost for Russia. Well, of course, this is the
1:39
Speaker 1: usual disingenuous BBC reporting because essentially this is not going
1:45
Speaker 1: to help Ukraine at all. It's going to possibly cause
1:47
Speaker 1: damage on Russian territory and that is going to result
1:54
Speaker 1: in the Russians backlashing. And since the Ukrainians are losing
1:59
Speaker 1: on the back and that is across the front, the
2:03
Speaker 1: Ukrainians ultimately are going to take additional casualties. So the
2:08
Speaker 1: West is into its old game of doing anything and
2:11
Speaker 1: everything it can to prolong the war. And in this
2:16
Speaker 1: news we're going to suggest one of the reasons why
2:19
Speaker 1: that desire to prolong the war is going to happen.
2:23
Speaker 1: But if we want to get more detail about what's
2:26
Speaker 1: actually happening in the Ukraine War, then actually we need
2:30
Speaker 1: to see what the BBC is talking about with its
2:33
Speaker 1: BBC Russian Service, because of course people overseas who are
2:38
Speaker 1: being funded effectively by the BBC license payer are getting
2:43
Speaker 1: a very different news. So here's the headline in BBC
2:47
Speaker 1: News Russia, the grinding jaws of the Russian army have
2:51
Speaker 1: Ukraine's defenses in the Dombas really fall into pieces, And
2:56
Speaker 1: this is part of the text. Ukrainian politicians and military
2:59
Speaker 1: figures owned openly of openly spoken of the front falling
3:03
Speaker 1: to pieces. The collapse of the front is down to
3:07
Speaker 1: short supplies of men and ammunition, as well as unstable
3:10
Speaker 1: command and control. This is breakdown on the battlefield the Russians.
3:15
Speaker 1: The Russians are advancing, the Ukrainians are clearly starting to
3:19
Speaker 1: break and of course what happens in this state on
3:23
Speaker 1: a battlefield is that the losing side, the Ukrainians, are
3:27
Speaker 1: going to take more and more casualties as their defenses
3:31
Speaker 1: fall apart. The article went on, Remember this is not
3:35
Speaker 1: designed for the British audience. It's truth which they have
3:38
Speaker 1: to echo back into Eastern Europe. So another quote in
3:43
Speaker 1: this article, the situation is very bad, but not yet catastrophic.
3:49
Speaker 1: The hope is that the Russian offensive will be slowed
3:52
Speaker 1: by bad whether early this month. The hope is that
3:56
Speaker 1: Russian offensive will be slowed. Well, this is nonsense abroad,
4:00
Speaker 1: because the offensive is growing, it's not going to slow
4:04
Speaker 1: and Ukrainian casualties are increasing all the time. This is
4:08
Speaker 1: another indication of the BBC's duplicity in reporting over Ukraine
4:14
Speaker 1: because if we look at their YouTube feed, the BBC
4:16
Speaker 1: of course is allowed to be on YouTube, the UK
4:19
Speaker 1: column is not. But if we look at their feed
4:23
Speaker 1: for the Russian channel, there is no transcript or translation
4:28
Speaker 1: in order for the UK viewers to see what they're
4:31
Speaker 1: actually saying. And in the backgrounds the BBC back on
4:35
Speaker 1: the gloating about Russia's war dead. And while they say
4:40
Speaker 1: that they believe the Russians war dead now top seventy thousand,
4:45
Speaker 1: in fact, there are many sources saying that they believe
4:48
Speaker 1: that those sources believe Russian dead exceed one hundred thousand,
4:53
Speaker 1: but the BBC is saying seventy thousand. The BBC simply
4:57
Speaker 1: fails to talk about the horrific lee all of Ukrainian
5:01
Speaker 1: casualties now in the background. How is the BBC putting
5:05
Speaker 1: this propaganda together while they're working with media Zoner And
5:11
Speaker 1: they say that BBC Russian and the independent website media
5:15
Speaker 1: Zoner have collated these names along with names from other
5:19
Speaker 1: open sources, including official reports. Well, what is media Zoner.
5:24
Speaker 1: It's simply a collection of journalists who are overwhelmingly hostile
5:29
Speaker 1: to Russia, and of course, according to information on this site,
5:34
Speaker 1: it was started with the help of participants from Pussy Riots,
5:39
Speaker 1: which was the group of young ladies who were, amongst
5:43
Speaker 1: other things, desecrating churches in Russia in order to get
5:47
Speaker 1: their political dissident views across so BBC reporting accurately. We
5:54
Speaker 1: don't think so this is pure propaganda but ultimately paid
5:58
Speaker 1: for by the BBC license pair. But you're not going
6:02
Speaker 1: to get full service of all the information that's collected
6:07
Speaker 1: through media zoner and elsewhere. Now I'm going to end
6:12
Speaker 1: this segment by saying that this is an allegation made
6:15
Speaker 1: by the Gray Zone. It says that leaks have shown
6:19
Speaker 1: that there was a secret British military cell which was
6:25
Speaker 1: what has been plotting to keep Ukraine fighting, and in
6:30
Speaker 1: the article there's mentioned of Lieutenant General Charlie Stickland. Now
6:35
Speaker 1: this is just the report by Grey Zone. We haven't
6:38
Speaker 1: seen all the factual information yet, although there is some
6:41
Speaker 1: email links released. But this is an extremely interesting headline
6:49
Speaker 1: because it agrees with a wider approach being taken by
6:52
Speaker 1: the US, UK and the EU at the moment, and
6:55
Speaker 1: that is indeed to keep the bloodshed in Ukraine going
7:00
Speaker 1: at all costs. Now, I'm going to before we bring
7:03
Speaker 1: Ben on to talk about the climate kabal, I'm just
7:07
Speaker 1: going to say that investigation into the Ukrainian War, but
7:12
Speaker 1: also into climate and what's happening at a global level
7:17
Speaker 1: for the climate agender, strangely also leads back into the
7:21
Speaker 1: slaughter on the battlefield in Ukraine, and we'll be dealing
7:25
Speaker 1: with that a bit later in the news. Ben, welcome,
7:29
Speaker 1: What have you got with the global climate cabal?
7:35
Speaker 2: Yes, thanks, Brian, Diane uk Colin, good afternoon, It's great
7:39
Speaker 2: to be here, and I completely agree with your statement there, Brian.
7:43
Speaker 2: The climate conspiracy ultimately sits right at the heart of
7:47
Speaker 2: everything that's going on globally at the moment. We call
7:50
Speaker 2: it the climate Kebaw. We spoke about this last week.
7:53
Speaker 2: We spoke about the involvement of the British Royal family
7:55
Speaker 2: and other component parts of the British establishment in coordinating
7:59
Speaker 2: this international and we're going to hear now from Simon Steel,
8:04
Speaker 2: the Executive Secretary of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change,
8:08
Speaker 2: reflecting on the first week of COP twenty nine in Azerbaijan.
8:15
Speaker 3: We're at the halfway point a COP twenty nine and
8:19
Speaker 3: this is a crucial cop. We're calling it the finance
8:24
Speaker 3: cop because we know that finance is the enabler for
8:28
Speaker 3: greater climate action. But it's not just about numbers and figures.
8:34
Speaker 3: This is about people. This is about human beings. It's
8:38
Speaker 3: about lives and livelihoods and how we provide the protections
8:44
Speaker 3: that are needed to protect them against the ravagers of
8:49
Speaker 3: this climate crisis. And we know that this crisis is
8:52
Speaker 3: hitting every country, every community.
8:57
Speaker 4: Throughout the world.
8:59
Speaker 3: But we also know that if we get this right,
9:02
Speaker 3: bold claimate action can improve the lives and livelihoods of
9:08
Speaker 3: our people, be that with better health, better jobs, more jobs,
9:14
Speaker 3: stronger economies, cheaper energy.
9:22
Speaker 4: I think he's nervous. I don't think this is going
9:25
Speaker 4: very well.
9:26
Speaker 2: That was a very very poorly delivered piece of communication
9:30
Speaker 2: from the UN's top climate change representative.
9:33
Speaker 4: There was a lot of repetition.
9:35
Speaker 2: There were clearly multiple takes and edits to deliver what
9:38
Speaker 2: should be a core message.
9:40
Speaker 4: He should know that.
9:41
Speaker 2: Inside out you might have noticed some funny hand maneuvers
9:44
Speaker 2: going on as well, which was slightly hidden by the subtitles.
9:48
Speaker 2: But I think he's under a lot of pressure and
9:50
Speaker 2: things aren't going particularly well, he did say, you know,
9:52
Speaker 2: it is about people, right, It's all about people and
9:54
Speaker 2: improving their lives.
9:55
Speaker 4: But really it's about money.
9:58
Speaker 2: It's about finance, which is the first thing that came
10:01
Speaker 2: out of his mouth. Yeah, and Diane's going to talk
10:05
Speaker 2: about that a little bit more in a moment in
10:07
Speaker 2: the second half of that film. That was a clip.
10:11
Speaker 2: There's another section to it will provide the links. You
10:13
Speaker 2: can go and watch it if you want to. But
10:15
Speaker 2: he did celebrate some progress that has been made relating
10:19
Speaker 2: to Article six of the Paris Climate Convention that relates
10:22
Speaker 2: to carbon markets, and those are designed to incentivize climate
10:27
Speaker 2: action by enabling parties to trade carbon credits with each
10:30
Speaker 2: other generated by the reduction or removal of greenhouse gases
10:35
Speaker 2: from the atmosphere.
10:37
Speaker 4: This is a really.
10:38
Speaker 2: Complex and arcane, an entirely synthetic financial instrument that they constructed,
10:44
Speaker 2: and I think that these are as dangerous as credit
10:46
Speaker 2: default swaps, which led to the two thousand and eight
10:49
Speaker 2: financial crisis.
10:50
Speaker 4: Right.
10:50
Speaker 2: There's an explainer which will provide a link to on
10:53
Speaker 2: the World Bank website. The World Bank is absolutely at
10:56
Speaker 2: the heart of this, not least because they've been holding
10:59
Speaker 2: a lot of the funds that are being used to
11:01
Speaker 2: fund climate action and entertainingly or not, it's probably not
11:06
Speaker 2: that entertaining.
11:07
Speaker 4: It's probably tragic.
11:09
Speaker 2: They've recently just revealed that they've lost twenty four billion dollars,
11:14
Speaker 2: just lost it, and actually it could be up to
11:17
Speaker 2: ten times that amount. Right, So they've been holding this
11:20
Speaker 2: money since last year for the Damages and Reparations Fund,
11:26
Speaker 2: which they were already charging more than twenty percent management
11:30
Speaker 2: fees for, right, and they've subsequently on top of that,
11:34
Speaker 2: just lost a load of money. Right, So this is
11:36
Speaker 2: a racket. This is for my money, this is a
11:39
Speaker 2: criminal enterprise. And Diane's now going to talk a bit
11:43
Speaker 2: more about the financial dynamics of play here.
11:49
Speaker 5: Thanks Ben, and hello O'Brien. Good afternoon, everybody. Yeah, I
11:52
Speaker 5: have a little bit to report under some of the
11:54
Speaker 5: detail on how the finance part of this is all working.
11:57
Speaker 5: Starting with the opening ceremony of CUP twenty nine. Last week,
12:01
Speaker 5: we had CUP twenty eight President Sultan Altebert giving the
12:04
Speaker 5: entire speech about climate finance, saying the critical success factor
12:08
Speaker 5: for all climate progress is finance. And he went into
12:12
Speaker 5: some details, some keywords that I did some more research
12:14
Speaker 5: on to kind of figure out what this all actually means,
12:17
Speaker 5: because I think it's difficult to think about funneling billions
12:19
Speaker 5: and trillions of dollars around the world for those of
12:22
Speaker 5: us who are not in the club. If we look
12:24
Speaker 5: at some of the details from the UN document and
12:26
Speaker 5: the WF documentation, we see from the UN, for example,
12:30
Speaker 5: how the different banks and the different bilateral multilateral financial
12:34
Speaker 5: organizations are working together just for one hundred billion dollars,
12:38
Speaker 5: which again is just one portion of what they want
12:41
Speaker 5: to do with this overall leading up to twenty thirty
12:44
Speaker 5: and perhaps beyond. So the Climate Finance Framework has again
12:48
Speaker 5: the one hundred billion target, which was not met by
12:50
Speaker 5: twenty twenty. So they are now saying, well, how we're
12:53
Speaker 5: going to go even past one hundred billion dollars, But
12:56
Speaker 5: they're saying it's really important now we have to go
12:58
Speaker 5: faster to accelerate to get to this higher level of
13:02
Speaker 5: funding that we want to see. And so we're talking
13:05
Speaker 5: about the bilogical concession of the multilovel, concessional and development finance systems.
13:09
Speaker 5: So you can go into more detail and read the
13:11
Speaker 5: report if you would really like to. The World Economic Forum,
13:14
Speaker 5: working in lockstep, of course with the UN talks about
13:17
Speaker 5: the risks to the world for two years and ten
13:20
Speaker 5: years in the next two years. According to their twenty
13:23
Speaker 5: twenty four report, extreme weather and pollution are in the
13:26
Speaker 5: top ten. Misinformation and disinformation is at number one. I'm
13:30
Speaker 5: not sure how, but in ten years time, misinformation and
13:32
Speaker 5: disinformation goes down into fifth place, and the top four
13:36
Speaker 5: over ten years are related to climate as well as
13:39
Speaker 5: number ten. So how we get to those different places
13:42
Speaker 5: over ten years versus two years.
13:44
Speaker 6: We'd have to read the report a little bit carefully
13:46
Speaker 6: to find out.
13:47
Speaker 5: But really what we're talking about is the financial situation,
13:51
Speaker 5: and the WEF said back in twenty.
13:53
Speaker 7: Twenty three that the World Meteorological Organization, which is a
13:59
Speaker 7: UN agency, has talked about the academic toll of the
14:02
Speaker 7: extreme weather and how again the billions and trillions of
14:06
Speaker 7: dollars whatever are coming into up to.
14:08
Speaker 5: Twenty nineteen and beyond is continuing to add up with
14:13
Speaker 5: all of the money. What's interesting about this is that
14:15
Speaker 5: they actually cite on this page an academic paper that
14:19
Speaker 5: talked about extreme event attribution or EEA, a methodology that
14:24
Speaker 5: examines how anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions had changed how everything
14:28
Speaker 5: was happening so basically, you know, it's our greenhouse gas
14:31
Speaker 5: emissions that's causing them to have to spend.
14:34
Speaker 6: All of the money.
14:35
Speaker 5: My question, though, is how are they going to get
14:37
Speaker 5: the billions that they want for the finance to change
14:40
Speaker 5: whatever is happening, as well as the billions that they
14:42
Speaker 5: say that they're already spending to clean up with the
14:45
Speaker 5: disasters that are happening.
14:46
Speaker 6: So we're kind of doubling our money there.
14:48
Speaker 5: Really, one of the ways that they talk about for
14:52
Speaker 5: different countries is to deal with the finance situation is
14:55
Speaker 5: the Collective Quantified Goal on climate finance. You can go
14:59
Speaker 5: into a lot more detail by looking at this website,
15:01
Speaker 5: which again is from the UN.
15:02
Speaker 6: Basically, they're saying how much more we need.
15:05
Speaker 5: Prior to twenty twenty five, there was a floor of
15:07
Speaker 5: US one hundred billion dollars, and going forward we need
15:10
Speaker 5: even more. So once again saying that this doesn't this
15:14
Speaker 5: doesn't show the significant amount. It might be even more
15:17
Speaker 5: than we think. We don't really know, but really we
15:19
Speaker 5: just need billions of dollars some to us. One of
15:22
Speaker 5: the companies that was mentioned in the opening ceremony speech
15:25
Speaker 5: by the COP twenty eighth president was Alterra which is
15:28
Speaker 5: a company that he seems to have an association with
15:31
Speaker 5: because he's from the EEE. Because this all happened last
15:34
Speaker 5: year in Dubai at COP twenty eight. Initially they are
15:37
Speaker 5: committing thirty billion dollars and by twenty thirty we are
15:41
Speaker 5: going to mobilize up to two hundred and fifty billion dollars.
15:45
Speaker 5: So who is involved in Altara. There's a lot of
15:47
Speaker 5: connections going on here, including according to this press release
15:51
Speaker 5: that came out on the fourteenth of November last week,
15:53
Speaker 5: related relation to the Rockefeller Foundation. Of course we see
15:57
Speaker 5: them once again. So we have a lot more details
16:01
Speaker 5: and all of these documents you can see in the
16:03
Speaker 5: show notes. And we'll take a break in climate for
16:04
Speaker 5: a moment and come back to it a bit later
16:06
Speaker 5: in the news.
16:07
Speaker 1: Brian, Diane, thank you very much for that, and we'll
16:10
Speaker 1: just reinforced with a statement to our audience. If you're
16:14
Speaker 1: not sure about why climate is so important, The climate
16:18
Speaker 1: agenda is driving all other global agendas and those that
16:23
Speaker 1: are filtering through into national political policies. This is happening
16:28
Speaker 1: on a daily, weekly, monthly basis. This is the key
16:33
Speaker 1: agenda that people need to pay attention to. Because everything
16:36
Speaker 1: else spins off it. Now we will be back for
16:39
Speaker 1: a little bit more on this subject before we do
16:41
Speaker 1: a huge thank you to everybody who's supporting the UK
16:45
Speaker 1: Column financially. We can only do what we do with
16:48
Speaker 1: your financial support, so I want to say once again
16:52
Speaker 1: today a huge thank you for everybody who is making
16:56
Speaker 1: a paid subscription to keep us running. Now support us
17:00
Speaker 1: in a number of ways. You can make a donation,
17:04
Speaker 1: You can take out a membership with us monthly or
17:07
Speaker 1: for the year, or you can take out a lifetime
17:09
Speaker 1: membership as many people have done. And of course you
17:12
Speaker 1: can also purchase from the UK Column Shop, and we
17:17
Speaker 1: like to point out that on the subject of health,
17:20
Speaker 1: you can make a purchase from Clive de cal and
17:24
Speaker 1: UK Column receives a small commission if you choose to
17:27
Speaker 1: do that. Now we produce material to be shared and
17:31
Speaker 1: we do our best to get it out on as
17:33
Speaker 1: many platforms as possible, but of course we're regularly censored,
17:38
Speaker 1: but the key platforms are all there. And of course
17:42
Speaker 1: if you're a member with UK Column, comments can be
17:47
Speaker 1: made and you can see those. So if you like
17:50
Speaker 1: what we're doing, we need your financial support, not only
17:54
Speaker 1: to keep going but also to expand and to produce
17:58
Speaker 1: more material, which is why many of you ask us
18:01
Speaker 1: for now just a little email here after my comments
18:06
Speaker 1: about remembrance Sunday. So a person here has said that
18:10
Speaker 1: they've just been catching up on a Monday UK column
18:13
Speaker 1: news and they wanted to point out the emission of
18:16
Speaker 1: military medals usually adorned by royalty at remembrance services. And
18:22
Speaker 1: so the viewer says, do you know why it was
18:24
Speaker 1: decided that child should not wear the medals other than
18:27
Speaker 1: he most likely wasn't deserving of them in the first place.
18:31
Speaker 1: And the person then goes on say that they with
18:33
Speaker 1: their mother at the weekend and watch the remembrance service
18:36
Speaker 1: of the All Albert Hall which was broadcast by the BBC,
18:42
Speaker 1: and they were perplexed to see the slow handclapping by
18:45
Speaker 1: Princess Anne and Keir Starmer. How much more blatant do
18:49
Speaker 1: they need to be in evidencing their quote disrespect for
18:53
Speaker 1: those who suffer for their sake? Keep up the brilliant
18:56
Speaker 1: work well, of course, many people now starting to see
19:00
Speaker 1: through the charade of the wars terrible subject and will
19:05
Speaker 1: report more. Now coming up interview tomorrow at one o'clock
19:09
Speaker 1: is Charles Mallett with Brian Riisinger, and this is about
19:14
Speaker 1: the painful demise of the small American farm and what
19:17
Speaker 1: can be done to undo the damage. This is probably
19:20
Speaker 1: a timely interview because of course tomorrow Big Farmers demonstration
19:25
Speaker 1: in London, and I can say to the audience that
19:27
Speaker 1: Mike and I will be there somewhere amongst those crowds. Now,
19:33
Speaker 1: I'd also like to say that on Thursday, my interview
19:37
Speaker 1: with the Reverend Dr Stephen Siser is going out on
19:40
Speaker 1: the subject of Christian Zionism. Dr Stephen Siser did an
19:47
Speaker 1: interview with A back in twenty twenty three, but now
19:50
Speaker 1: with events unfolding in the Middle East and the horrors
19:53
Speaker 1: of Gaza, a longer a more detailed interview with him
19:57
Speaker 1: about where this pernicious Christian Zionist agenders come from and
20:02
Speaker 1: why we need to pay attention and recognize it for
20:05
Speaker 1: the problems that it causes. A motive interview. I've no
20:09
Speaker 1: doubt for many of the UK column viewers and supporters,
20:13
Speaker 1: but this is absolutely an issue which we need to
20:16
Speaker 1: get into. I'd also like to say I've got another
20:18
Speaker 1: CIA interview coming up with Pedro Israel Porter. Very interesting
20:24
Speaker 1: that people working within the US intelligence system were formally
20:28
Speaker 1: working within the US intelligence system while coming to the
20:32
Speaker 1: UK column to talk about what is really happening behind
20:35
Speaker 1: the scenes in the American deep state. So I think
20:40
Speaker 1: that brings ben you back on screen with us to
20:44
Speaker 1: take us into more about the climate change agenda.
20:51
Speaker 2: Absolutely, and we've talked about finance. As much as this
20:54
Speaker 2: is about finance, it is also somehow about gender. Let's
20:59
Speaker 2: hear again from Simon Still at the un.
21:03
Speaker 4: Bolder.
21:04
Speaker 3: Climate action can drive forward huge benefits right across societies.
21:10
Speaker 3: It can drive much wider opportunities for women and girls
21:15
Speaker 3: in all their diversity to reach their fullest potential, and
21:19
Speaker 3: it can help drive forward the real world, real economy
21:23
Speaker 3: changes needed to overcome this crisis. But more than this,
21:28
Speaker 3: equal participation is a right. It is our responsibility to
21:34
Speaker 3: make sure every voice is heard. In my role as
21:38
Speaker 3: an international gender Champion, I remain deeply committed to this.
21:42
Speaker 3: I'll continue to highlight how gender responsive approaches enable more
21:48
Speaker 3: effective climate policy, advocating for the inclusion of gender considerations
21:53
Speaker 3: in climate finance policies and allocations, and working with governments
21:58
Speaker 3: to increase spaces and opportunities for women in all their diversity,
22:04
Speaker 3: be it in COP or in climate action on the ground.
22:12
Speaker 2: Women and girls in all their diversity. They really do
22:15
Speaker 2: have a way with words, don't they. So that film
22:18
Speaker 2: was put out to mark ten years since the adoption
22:21
Speaker 2: of the Lema Work Program on Gender, which came out
22:25
Speaker 2: of COP twenty back in twenty fourteen, and that has
22:30
Speaker 2: forged progress, apparently in key areas to promote gender equality
22:34
Speaker 2: and women's empowerment. It was reaffirmed in twenty twenty at
22:43
Speaker 2: COP twenty five with an enhanced Lema Work Program on
22:48
Speaker 2: Gender and its Gender Action Plan, where they combined bold
22:51
Speaker 2: climate action with progress in gender equality as it is
22:55
Speaker 2: one of the most effective strategies to break away from businesses,
22:58
Speaker 2: use your scenarios and dry of transformative change. This is
23:02
Speaker 2: being used as a way to destroy traditional social structures,
23:07
Speaker 2: not just in this country but all around the world
23:10
Speaker 2: and to use women and girls as agents of change.
23:13
Speaker 2: Funded by the UN.
23:16
Speaker 4: And its affiliates.
23:17
Speaker 2: It's all over UN communication this year from Antonio Gortz,
23:22
Speaker 2: the UN Secretary General. Everywhere women and girls are taking
23:25
Speaker 2: action to confront the climate and environmental crises. There's loads
23:28
Speaker 2: of money flowing into it as you'd expect this here
23:31
Speaker 2: again from the World Bank, saying that gender responsive financing
23:34
Speaker 2: initiatives which take into account the diverse needs, roles and
23:37
Speaker 2: responsibilities of people of all.
23:39
Speaker 4: Genders, not just women and girls, actually all genders have
23:42
Speaker 4: proven to.
23:42
Speaker 2: Enable more effective and cohesive climate, actually benefiting society as
23:46
Speaker 2: a whole.
23:46
Speaker 4: So they're putting a lot of money into this. They're
23:49
Speaker 4: giving high.
23:49
Speaker 2: Powered jobs to women and girls on the ground in
23:53
Speaker 2: the respective nation states in order to drive this agenda forward.
23:56
Speaker 2: It taps directly into this wider ideology gap that's opened
24:02
Speaker 2: up between young men and women. We spoke about this
24:05
Speaker 2: at the start of the October. At the start of October,
24:08
Speaker 2: Daniel Sachs, if you remember commenting on something which I
24:12
Speaker 2: believe has very clearly been artificially created.
24:15
Speaker 4: By the UN.
24:16
Speaker 2: Ultimately, you know, this communication and all this money flowing
24:20
Speaker 2: into this agenda is having an extraordinarily divisive effect on
24:24
Speaker 2: our populations.
24:25
Speaker 4: Is also coming from the media.
24:26
Speaker 2: We talked about this enormous increase in the use of
24:30
Speaker 2: divisive terminology, these statistics relating to the New York Times
24:34
Speaker 2: in the Washington Post you can actually see since twenty ten,
24:37
Speaker 2: which quite neatly aligns with this LIMA agreement. We've just
24:41
Speaker 2: spoken about the massive increase in words like patriarchy, gender discrimination,
24:45
Speaker 2: sexist sexism that are driving into this right, and how
24:49
Speaker 2: is that playing out in the climate agenda where we're
24:52
Speaker 2: seeing people like this being thrust into the limelight. This
24:56
Speaker 2: is Clover Hogan, who is a rich British young woman
25:02
Speaker 2: who lives in Barley, who's kind of presenting herself as
25:05
Speaker 2: a new Greta Thunberg type. Right, She's a climate influencer,
25:09
Speaker 2: and she makes this remarkable statement here on the right
25:12
Speaker 2: hand side. I was just invited by a major broadcaster
25:15
Speaker 2: to do a COP twenty nine interview with a climate denier.
25:19
Speaker 4: Right.
25:19
Speaker 2: Their justification was, since America has just elected a climate denier,
25:23
Speaker 2: we want to platform all perspectives. I can't believe we're
25:27
Speaker 2: back here, she says, Are we going to really open
25:30
Speaker 2: up the science for debate and then we're really going
25:32
Speaker 2: to validate literal conspiracy theories with a platform? Unfortunately, Clover,
25:38
Speaker 2: science requires debate. That's how science works. So shutting down
25:43
Speaker 2: debate isn't scientific, right, But unfortunately she's out there saying
25:47
Speaker 2: this stuff. She's got a big audience and a lot
25:49
Speaker 2: of traction, a lot of bit people hitting like on
25:51
Speaker 2: this and agreeing with it.
25:52
Speaker 4: Yeah, we're also seeing people like this.
25:55
Speaker 2: So this is Emma Pinchbeck, who is the new Chief
25:57
Speaker 2: Executive of the Climate Change Commission, who's been thrust into
26:02
Speaker 2: this very high profile international role. And this was the
26:06
Speaker 2: first post that she put out when she announced on
26:08
Speaker 2: day one of her new position. You can see on
26:10
Speaker 2: the right hand side there it says, today's my first
26:12
Speaker 2: day at the Climate Change Committee and it started completely
26:15
Speaker 2: in line with my expectations of CEO life. Today I
26:18
Speaker 2: was woken up by my two year old hitting me
26:20
Speaker 2: in the face with a very hungry caterpillar book. I
26:23
Speaker 2: realized I still have a heavy cold. I forgot the
26:25
Speaker 2: five year old's book back school, and then I only
26:28
Speaker 2: made the train by two minutes. Now, I've worked with
26:31
Speaker 2: female leaders and they were exceptional leaders, right, and they
26:35
Speaker 2: didn't talk like this. And there's this kind of little
26:38
Speaker 2: girl type mentality identity that's being presented. I don't think
26:44
Speaker 2: is particularly helpful or useful, and it's not a good
26:46
Speaker 2: representation of female leaders, To be perfectly honest with you,
26:50
Speaker 2: how else is it manifesting. Let's just hear now from
26:52
Speaker 2: Fiona Macin at Global Optimism.
26:56
Speaker 8: It's halftime here in Baku and things are challenging. Time.
27:00
Speaker 8: G twenty leaders are currently meeting in Rio and we
27:03
Speaker 8: need them to unlock success.
27:05
Speaker 4: At COP twenty nine, we're asking.
27:07
Speaker 6: Them for two things.
27:08
Speaker 8: We need them to move the money, agree on a
27:11
Speaker 8: high ambition new finance goal in order to deliver and
27:14
Speaker 8: meet the needs of emerging markets. And we need them
27:17
Speaker 8: to publish the plans, submit their one point five degree
27:19
Speaker 8: aligned national climate plans in order to provide the investment
27:24
Speaker 8: positive policies to unlock private finance towards a successful transition.
27:28
Speaker 8: We over thirty eight thousand businesses and many sort of
27:31
Speaker 8: society leaders are getting behind this because we know it's
27:34
Speaker 8: not game over.
27:35
Speaker 6: It's gamelink.
27:38
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a nice, well presented, non threatening face of
27:43
Speaker 2: the climate agenda in order to get people to trust it.
27:48
Speaker 4: Ultimately, I think that's what a lot of this is about.
27:50
Speaker 9: Now.
27:50
Speaker 2: That young lady there, Fiona Mackin, works for an organization
27:53
Speaker 2: called Global Optimism.
27:55
Speaker 4: They are absolutely in the middle of this.
27:59
Speaker 2: They are a the global thought, leadership and content platform
28:03
Speaker 2: run by the three people you can see on the
28:04
Speaker 2: right hand side there, Christiana Forgeez, who used to do
28:07
Speaker 2: the same job as Simon Steel. I spoke about her
28:09
Speaker 2: last weeks worked at Prince William and also the guy
28:12
Speaker 2: called Paul Dickinson on the right and Tom Rivit Karnak
28:15
Speaker 2: on the left. I'm going to talk about these guys
28:17
Speaker 2: more in the coming weeks, as I say, right in
28:20
Speaker 2: the thick of all this stuff, not least at COP
28:22
Speaker 2: where Tom Rivit Karnak expressed the fact that he's experienced
28:26
Speaker 2: something he hasn't felt in a long time, pride in
28:28
Speaker 2: his country. He's proud of Britain, he's proud of Ed millerband.
28:32
Speaker 2: But unfortunately the UK appears to be flying solo on
28:35
Speaker 2: a lot of this stuff, and I think the wheels
28:36
Speaker 2: are starting to come off, as Diane's going to talk
28:38
Speaker 2: about now.
28:42
Speaker 5: But more as well as the UK's direct involvement in
28:45
Speaker 5: COP twenty nine and how that compares to other countries
28:48
Speaker 5: in the world. It's interesting to note that Kirs Starmer
28:51
Speaker 5: was the only G seven leader who is present at
28:54
Speaker 5: COP twenty nine, and the UK sent four one hundred
28:57
Speaker 5: and fifty delegates by plane with all of those carbon emissions,
29:00
Speaker 5: which was the eleventh largest contingency of any country in
29:03
Speaker 5: the world, and by comparison, the United States despite having
29:06
Speaker 5: a much larger population sent four hundred and five, and
29:10
Speaker 5: of course Joe Biden wasn't there, none of the other
29:12
Speaker 5: G seven leaders as well. The UK says that the
29:15
Speaker 5: twenty thirty five target for the nationally determined contribution is
29:20
Speaker 5: to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by at least eighty one
29:23
Speaker 5: percent on nineteen ninety levels.
29:26
Speaker 6: Now what does that mean exactly?
29:28
Speaker 5: Well, basically in twenty twenty two, what we had said
29:31
Speaker 5: was that, well they said that sixty eight percent was
29:35
Speaker 5: our target by twenty thirty and now they have increased
29:37
Speaker 5: it to eighty one percent. Although NBC's are atlyst supposed
29:41
Speaker 5: to be updated every five years and they were not
29:43
Speaker 5: due for an updates, so I'm not really sure where
29:45
Speaker 5: that change came from. But it's in line with a
29:47
Speaker 5: Paris agreement that every country has to determine for itself,
29:50
Speaker 5: in its own context what they are going to contribute
29:52
Speaker 5: in terms of their donations, their contributions, their actions and
29:56
Speaker 5: these kinds of things. So At Millbands, our Secretary of
29:59
Speaker 5: State for Energy Security and Net Zero, was at cop
30:03
Speaker 5: last week having a fabulous, wonderful time let's take a
30:06
Speaker 5: look at his video from that he posted on Twitter
30:09
Speaker 5: saying that COP twenty nine is a chance for Britain
30:12
Speaker 5: to show climate leadership on the global stage. This government
30:15
Speaker 5: believes that climate security is national security. Okay, so what
30:20
Speaker 5: were you doing, mister realband.
30:23
Speaker 10: I'm feeling energized and a bit tired. So I've just
30:27
Speaker 10: come from recording a podcast is called outrage and optimism.
30:30
Speaker 10: My outrage for the world hasn't acted earlier.
30:33
Speaker 4: My optimism is.
30:34
Speaker 10: But the world really is acting. You just really feel
30:37
Speaker 10: the energy here of businesses, of countries, of people pushing ahead.
30:42
Speaker 10: This transition is just happening now. It needs to happen quicker,
30:45
Speaker 10: and it needs to happen in the right way. It
30:46
Speaker 10: needs to happen in a fair way. It needs to
30:48
Speaker 10: happen in a way that benefits be bor.
30:50
Speaker 4: But it is happening.
30:51
Speaker 10: I could describe as a global forcing mechanism. It like
30:54
Speaker 10: puts people on the spot. Imagine in your own life
30:57
Speaker 10: being put on the spot to say, what are you doing?
30:59
Speaker 10: If you're running five k and every year you've got
31:01
Speaker 10: to say, well, how about faster? Are you rutting the
31:03
Speaker 10: five k? It's saying to global leaders. This really matters.
31:06
Speaker 10: Are you doing your bit and people want to show
31:09
Speaker 10: that they're acting, they're doing something. We are only one
31:11
Speaker 10: percent of emissions. That's why we've got to work with
31:14
Speaker 10: others the other ninety nine percent of emissions. And don't
31:17
Speaker 10: believe this stuff that Britain can't have an impact. We
31:19
Speaker 10: passed the Climate Change Act in two thousand and eight
31:21
Speaker 10: and then lots of other countries followed. It's showing what
31:24
Speaker 10: can be done. Countries may be different in their datas
31:27
Speaker 10: of development where they are, everybody's got the same outlook,
31:30
Speaker 10: which is we need to do the right thing for
31:32
Speaker 10: better lives today and we need to do the right
31:34
Speaker 10: thing for the generations yet to come.
31:40
Speaker 6: So that's great news.
31:41
Speaker 5: He said, the quiet part out loud that the UK
31:44
Speaker 5: is only one percent of emissions, but we have to
31:46
Speaker 5: work with the rest of the world and for some
31:48
Speaker 5: reason leave the world even though that we're only one
31:50
Speaker 5: percent of the other ninety nine percent are responsible for
31:53
Speaker 5: whatever they think is happening. This article from The Guardian
31:56
Speaker 5: where he talked about his view is that weble energy
32:00
Speaker 5: is now unstoppable, just as mister Milliband is himself. So
32:04
Speaker 5: that's really really good news. For us in the UK,
32:07
Speaker 5: there's some information from the World Economic Forum about whether
32:10
Speaker 5: your country's economy will suffer or benefit from decarbonization. And
32:14
Speaker 5: I'm so happy to announce to everyone that the UK
32:17
Speaker 5: again is at the forefront of all of it, and
32:19
Speaker 5: we are known as an inclusive green adopter country, which
32:23
Speaker 5: means that we have a lot of income that we
32:25
Speaker 5: can send to this benefit of the poorer countries and
32:30
Speaker 5: so on, and what we can do. We can take
32:32
Speaker 5: all of the money that we apparently have, which I
32:35
Speaker 5: don't think most of us are seeing that right now
32:37
Speaker 5: who live in the UK. But we're going to send
32:38
Speaker 5: all of this money because we are green, and we
32:41
Speaker 5: are inclusive, and we are part of making this equitable
32:45
Speaker 5: transition happen to whatever it is that they want us
32:47
Speaker 5: to transition to.
32:49
Speaker 6: But the good news, though, I.
32:50
Speaker 5: Think, is that we're starting to see some mainstream media
32:53
Speaker 5: sources that are not agreeing with everything that's happening.
32:56
Speaker 6: There have been a lot of holes falling apart in
32:58
Speaker 6: top twenty nine, with lots of not coming.
33:01
Speaker 5: Here's an article from The Guardian, which I think my
33:03
Speaker 5: friend for sending this to me, saying it's high time
33:06
Speaker 5: to end the Sorry this is not the Guardian, the Telegraph.
33:08
Speaker 5: It's high time to end this ludicrous cop jamboree.
33:12
Speaker 6: But it just won't die. Nice little poem there for us.
33:15
Speaker 5: And what we said is that basically there's sixty five
33:18
Speaker 5: private jets that flew into Baku last week compared with
33:21
Speaker 5: thirty two the same weave last year that he sees
33:24
Speaker 5: that the process is to try to extract trillions of
33:27
Speaker 5: pounds from rich countries to poor countries. So these climate reparations,
33:32
Speaker 5: these whatever, it's going to fix. And so I think
33:35
Speaker 5: we're starting to see that the mainstream media as well
33:37
Speaker 5: as other countries are starting to see through the scam.
33:39
Speaker 5: And I think that's the one positive thing that we
33:42
Speaker 5: can maybe try to take out of this.
33:43
Speaker 1: Brian, possibly is there something positive about this? We will see.
33:50
Speaker 1: But the key thing is that I can tell why
33:52
Speaker 1: comments coming in a chat today that people are absolutely
33:56
Speaker 1: gripping to the fact that this is the key agenda
34:00
Speaker 1: for everything that's happening in the world, even if we
34:03
Speaker 1: get into areas of defense. Let's have a little look
34:06
Speaker 1: through this section. And somebody was kind enough to point
34:09
Speaker 1: out octopus energy to me, and a little bit of
34:13
Speaker 1: research was very interesting. So here they are. We're making
34:17
Speaker 1: energy fair, clean and simple for all using technology. Let's
34:21
Speaker 1: look at a little promo video to see what they've
34:23
Speaker 1: got to say about themselves. And yes, you will have
34:27
Speaker 1: heard the music before.
34:32
Speaker 11: Our mission is to drive the energy transition faster and
34:35
Speaker 11: cheaper than anyone expects.
34:38
Speaker 12: The world urgently needs a sustainable energy system. At Octopus,
34:42
Speaker 12: we're working hard to make that happen. Our tentacles stretched
34:46
Speaker 12: through our energy and around the globe. It all starts
34:49
Speaker 12: with customers. We power millions of homes around the world
34:53
Speaker 12: with green energy, fair prices, and award winning service. Getting
34:57
Speaker 12: those fundamentals right means people trust us some enough to
35:01
Speaker 12: look at energy in a new light. We reward customers
35:04
Speaker 12: for making the most of green power through cutting edge
35:07
Speaker 12: products like fang Club, Saving Sessions and Intelligent Octopus. In
35:11
Speaker 12: our fang Club, customers living next to an Octopus turbine
35:14
Speaker 12: get half price electricity on windy days. With Intelligent Octopus
35:18
Speaker 12: ev drivers get a discount for letting us charge their
35:21
Speaker 12: car when there's plenty of green energy to use. In
35:24
Speaker 12: saving Sessions, customers get paid to unplugged to avoid fossil fuels.
35:30
Speaker 12: We don't just stop at home electricity. We're making electric
35:34
Speaker 12: vehicles and heat pumps the easy choice, then getting them
35:37
Speaker 12: into homes and driveways at scale. With the right combination
35:40
Speaker 12: of heat pumps, solar and batteries, we're even building zero
35:44
Speaker 12: bill homes. This electrifying world needs more green energy to
35:48
Speaker 12: power it. We're one of Europe's largest renewable investors. We
35:54
Speaker 12: operate six billion worth of generators like wind and solar farms,
36:01
Speaker 12: and we're aiming to build much more, enough to power
36:04
Speaker 12: fifty million homes by twenty thirty. And the magic that
36:09
Speaker 12: unlocks all of this is cracking. Cracking is an advanced
36:12
Speaker 12: operating system for utilities. It supports more than fifty million
36:18
Speaker 12: customers worldwide. It's a blueprint for a sustainable energy future.
36:24
Speaker 11: Moving away from fossil fuels opens up possibilities we would
36:27
Speaker 11: never have imagined. Our job as a company is to
36:30
Speaker 11: build an energy system to create a renewable world that
36:33
Speaker 11: is better for citizens than the world we're leaving behind.
36:39
Speaker 1: So I let that run because this is the corporate
36:43
Speaker 1: propaganda going out to hundreds of thousands, millions of people.
36:46
Speaker 1: It's just about the energy to heat their homes, run
36:50
Speaker 1: their cars. Well, it's not because at the end you've
36:53
Speaker 1: got the message there, whether you picked it up, this
36:55
Speaker 1: is about renewables to change the world. This company thinks
37:00
Speaker 1: that they've solved all the energy problems. Now they're going
37:03
Speaker 1: to change the world. But let's have a look at
37:05
Speaker 1: them because back in twenty sixteen they say they were
37:09
Speaker 1: launched by e commerce entrepreneurs with a vision of using
37:13
Speaker 1: technology and data to bring affordable, green energy.
37:16
Speaker 4: To the world.
37:17
Speaker 1: By twenty twenty, in a mere four years, they were
37:21
Speaker 1: valued at over two billion. How do you do that, Well,
37:24
Speaker 1: let's go on through their chronology. Twenty twenty one it's
37:29
Speaker 1: valued at approximately five billion, and by twenty twenty three
37:33
Speaker 1: it's valued at eight billion. Not about going for a
37:37
Speaker 1: small company. What are the clues as to why there's
37:40
Speaker 1: been this meteoric rise. Well, perhaps this is a start.
37:44
Speaker 1: Here's Gavin Patterson under the World Economic Forum talking about
37:49
Speaker 1: it's critical that businesses reevaluate their digital transformation, etc. And
37:54
Speaker 1: he goes on to talk about the route to business
37:57
Speaker 1: recovery and growth post COVID nineteen teen must be coupled
38:01
Speaker 1: to sustainability in order to create a fairer society for all,
38:06
Speaker 1: and during the pandemic digital has become a lifeline for
38:09
Speaker 1: every business to create inclusive economies, digital training and reskilling.
38:15
Speaker 1: This man is into everything. He can solve the world's problems,
38:20
Speaker 1: and he can make huge amounts of money as he's
38:23
Speaker 1: doing that. But he's got power and influence because this
38:27
Speaker 1: is a picture off their website where apparently Ruby is
38:31
Speaker 1: talking Octopus with the Prime Minister and the Chancellor. And
38:35
Speaker 1: notice that Boris and Richie are standing there very attentatively
38:40
Speaker 1: like two school children while they're being lectured as to
38:44
Speaker 1: how the world is going to be in the future.
38:46
Speaker 1: But this is some of the language by Octopus Energy,
38:49
Speaker 1: and I've seen this before many years ago. They say,
38:53
Speaker 1: in twenty sixteen we were a tiny British energy supplier
38:57
Speaker 1: disrupting a broken industry. So Octopus appears to be boasting
39:03
Speaker 1: that it was able to help disrupt and presumably also
39:08
Speaker 1: destroy or increase the rate of destruction of the British
39:12
Speaker 1: energy markets. And somehow they're proud at this, But of
39:16
Speaker 1: course the clue is you've got to destroy before you
39:19
Speaker 1: can build back better. But where did the help come from? Well,
39:23
Speaker 1: this is where we need generation investments. And this is
39:29
Speaker 1: an extremely powerful organization backed by this man, Al Gore,
39:34
Speaker 1: who Octopus is boasting, is one of their key funders.
39:38
Speaker 1: Now we can see whether support bases for the meteoric
39:42
Speaker 1: rise of Octopus energy. So he said, his mission has
39:46
Speaker 1: been the backing of world leading businesses. From day one,
39:50
Speaker 1: we've had the support of Octopus Group, a pioneer of
39:53
Speaker 1: renewable energy investment. Let's have a look at this little
39:57
Speaker 1: video clip.
40:00
Speaker 13: To your sustainability trans report. We'll focus on two very
40:04
Speaker 13: important outcomes of the Global Climate Change Conference that occurred
40:08
Speaker 13: at the end of last year. The first is a
40:11
Speaker 13: recognition for the first time that we need to transition
40:16
Speaker 13: away from fossil fuels, and we also agreed that we
40:19
Speaker 13: would try to triple the investment in alternative energy in
40:23
Speaker 13: the next five or six years. So the question really
40:26
Speaker 13: what we're trying to answer is, Okay, we've made these statements,
40:30
Speaker 13: what does it mean. What is the roadmap to phasing
40:34
Speaker 13: out fossil fuels and tripling alternative energy.
40:39
Speaker 14: There is twice as much investment in renewable energy as
40:43
Speaker 14: investments in fossil fuel, and that's up from one to
40:49
Speaker 14: one just five years ago, so that's very encouraging. However,
40:53
Speaker 14: we should be seeing declines in the investment going into
40:58
Speaker 14: fossil fuels. Thanks and other financial institutions need to start
41:02
Speaker 14: ratcheting down the amount of money that they're putting into
41:06
Speaker 14: fossil fuels, and they're not yet doing that.
41:09
Speaker 9: So while climate finance is flowing and there is enough
41:12
Speaker 9: capital in the world to solve the climate crisis and
41:15
Speaker 9: the sustainability crisis, the capital is still not in the
41:18
Speaker 9: right place. So there is sufficient capital, but it needs
41:21
Speaker 9: to be moved to the right things.
41:23
Speaker 15: Moving to a more sustainable world is going to involve change,
41:27
Speaker 15: and there are so many people working in the fossil
41:30
Speaker 15: fuel industries and in other industries that will be affected
41:34
Speaker 15: by our transition. And what we have the incredible opportunity
41:37
Speaker 15: to do is help transition the workforce into cleaner job.
41:45
Speaker 1: So vast amounts of money and of course both what
41:47
Speaker 1: Ben and Diane in talking about things around the Climate
41:50
Speaker 1: Agenda talking about the need to have trillions, huge amounts
41:55
Speaker 1: of money for investment and change, and now from our
42:00
Speaker 1: in his organization, we're actually seeing exactly what they're doing,
42:04
Speaker 1: and amongst other things, they're doing it through octoperc Entergy
42:08
Speaker 1: to transform the energy markets in UK itself. But let's
42:13
Speaker 1: listen to a bit more about what they had to say.
42:17
Speaker 16: Twenty two is a year that has been both a
42:21
Speaker 16: source of optimism and cause for concern. We are enormously
42:26
Speaker 16: encouraged by the historic climate legislation passed at long last
42:31
Speaker 16: in the United States and believe that it's likely to
42:35
Speaker 16: powerfully accelerate the sustainability revolution. However, this transition is a
42:41
Speaker 16: global challenge, and we must consider progress in some places
42:44
Speaker 16: against the backdrop of the Ukraine crisis. There is a
42:49
Speaker 16: growing tension at the heart of Europe between near term
42:52
Speaker 16: energy security needs and the necessary urgent action required for
42:58
Speaker 16: continued progress on climate.
43:00
Speaker 13: We mustn't forget that this is a huge opportunity to
43:03
Speaker 13: decarbonize Europe and we must make that a priority.
43:09
Speaker 1: So now you see it, this is about decarbonizing Europe.
43:13
Speaker 1: That means wiping out millions of jobs, completely changing the
43:17
Speaker 1: nature of society. And of course Ukraine is in the background.
43:21
Speaker 1: Now this is a brief clip from a lady talking
43:24
Speaker 1: about the energy industry in Ukraine.
43:29
Speaker 17: Or made us reconsider the way in which we should
43:33
Speaker 17: develop our energy system in Ukraine. My name is Yurdana.
43:39
Speaker 17: I am Ukrainian and before war I was living my
43:44
Speaker 17: normal life, working for energy company and building solar power
43:49
Speaker 17: plants for commercial purposes. Before Rasha started destroying our energy system,
43:55
Speaker 17: we had no idea how dependent we are on one
44:00
Speaker 17: source of energy. By losing one nuclear power plant, which
44:04
Speaker 17: is now occupied Zaporisha power Plant, well lost twenty percent
44:10
Speaker 17: of our generation capacity. And nuclear was and still is
44:16
Speaker 17: a leader among the energy sources in Ukraine. And it's
44:20
Speaker 17: the war. Ukraine tries to transition to clean energy while
44:27
Speaker 17: ensuring its energy securing energy security at the same time,
44:33
Speaker 17: under immense pressure, we managed to plug into the energy
44:37
Speaker 17: system of European Union, and we did it not within
44:40
Speaker 17: a one year, but within.
44:42
Speaker 6: A few weeks.
44:45
Speaker 1: So lots of things in that video, which we will
44:48
Speaker 1: try and discuss a little bit later, but of course
44:51
Speaker 1: the key thing is we're supposed to believe that before
44:53
Speaker 1: the war, Ukraine didn't understand its own energy infrastructure, and now,
44:58
Speaker 1: in the midst of a war, trying to win the war,
45:01
Speaker 1: they're trying to implement a new energy policy to bring
45:05
Speaker 1: in renewables. This would be declared as madness by any
45:09
Speaker 1: normal person, but of course we already know from our
45:12
Speaker 1: gore that the agenda is to completely change the European
45:17
Speaker 1: energy system and the markets in order to go in
45:21
Speaker 1: for the supposed clean green energy system, and the Ukrainian
45:27
Speaker 1: war is obviously a useful tool to allow that to happen.
45:32
Speaker 1: A few people have said in the comments, who are
45:35
Speaker 1: these people and what are they? Well? I don't even
45:38
Speaker 1: know the answer to that, but certainly they seem to
45:42
Speaker 1: have little empathy for the normal human being trying to
45:46
Speaker 1: get on with their lives now. The Daily Mail surprisingly
45:50
Speaker 1: got locked onto ol Gore back in January twenty twenty
45:54
Speaker 1: three a huge piece about all of his business interests
45:58
Speaker 1: that we're paying him two million a month, not a
46:01
Speaker 1: bad little income. But surprisingly the Mail online journalists were
46:06
Speaker 1: not able to find the links through to Octobus Energy
46:10
Speaker 1: and the disruption of the UK energy system. And I'll
46:14
Speaker 1: just end here by saying that, of course we can
46:17
Speaker 1: also quickly find UK's King, Charles the Green King in
46:22
Speaker 1: the background, and here he is speaking to Al Gore
46:25
Speaker 1: at the COP twenty six Climate Summit. And then of
46:29
Speaker 1: course the King hosting a reception of Buckingham Palace with
46:32
Speaker 1: two hundred business leaders, decision makers and NGOs ahead of
46:37
Speaker 1: the COP twenty two summit in Egypt. So the king
46:41
Speaker 1: fully involved in agenda to absolutely destroy current UK businesses
46:51
Speaker 1: and the energy market. Ben, let's bring you back in.
46:58
Speaker 4: Octopus. That is a big one.
47:01
Speaker 2: When you listen to Greg Jackson talk, we just heard
47:04
Speaker 2: a few little snippets from him there. He's the chief executive.
47:09
Speaker 2: Think about him as a front man that is delivering
47:11
Speaker 2: lines that have been written for him by somebody else.
47:15
Speaker 2: Go and listen to what he says again, in the
47:16
Speaker 2: way he delivers it, I think that's what he is.
47:18
Speaker 2: I actually don't think he really understands what he's talking about,
47:20
Speaker 2: to be honest with you. So we're going to head
47:25
Speaker 2: over the pond just to talk a little bit about
47:28
Speaker 2: some of the two in fact of the new incoming
47:32
Speaker 2: Trump administration. They're going to direct direct your attention to
47:36
Speaker 2: this image which popped up on social media over the weekend.
47:42
Speaker 2: I think I've got it from Donald Trump Junior's Instagram page.
47:45
Speaker 2: You can see Elon Musk, Donald Trump, Donald Trump Junior
47:50
Speaker 2: sitting opposite his father. Rfk Junior also sat at the
47:54
Speaker 2: table there, and then Mike Johnson, who is the Speaker
47:57
Speaker 2: of the House, the ranking republic official in Congress, and
48:03
Speaker 2: the thing that was fascinating about this. We know that
48:05
Speaker 2: Trump likes the McDonald's. He invites people to the White
48:08
Speaker 2: House and buys him a big mac. And that's kind
48:10
Speaker 2: of crazy and slightly terrifying, especially when it's professional athletes
48:14
Speaker 2: and people like that. But he's tapped up RFK Jr.
48:17
Speaker 2: On the right hand side there to be the leader
48:20
Speaker 2: of the US Department of Health and Human Services. So
48:22
Speaker 2: he's the guy potentially who's going to be running the
48:24
Speaker 2: US health system. And here he is on what looks
48:28
Speaker 2: like a private jetting McDonald's and got a bottle of
48:33
Speaker 2: Coca Cola next to him. And this is crazy, isn't it?
48:40
Speaker 10: All?
48:40
Speaker 4: Right?
48:41
Speaker 2: You've got the guy running the health system coming in
48:43
Speaker 2: and promoting this as a diet that doesn't.
48:46
Speaker 4: Make any sense. Whose benefit is this for?
48:50
Speaker 2: He can't be for the American people, right, This is
48:54
Speaker 2: about the shareholders. Who owns these two organizations. Who owns McDonald's,
48:58
Speaker 2: Who owns co Co Cola? Well, it's Black Rock, It's
49:02
Speaker 2: State Street, it's JP Morgan is Box, you have the way, right.
49:06
Speaker 9: This is.
49:08
Speaker 2: Global corporate interests that Trump is gleefully cheerleading, and unfortunately
49:16
Speaker 2: RSK Junior is also gleefully cheerleading. Right Now, there's been
49:21
Speaker 2: some discussion about you know, he was a strong voice
49:24
Speaker 2: advocating against the COVID vaccine program, and he wrote a
49:29
Speaker 2: quite phenomenal book actually about Anthony Fauci, which I highly
49:32
Speaker 2: recommend reading. It's an exceptional piece of work that he
49:34
Speaker 2: put out. But this, to me is just completely inexplicable.
49:38
Speaker 17: Right.
49:38
Speaker 2: He has made a few public statements about Coca Cola
49:43
Speaker 2: and the fact that people are going to have to
49:44
Speaker 2: start eating more healthily, that kind of thing.
49:47
Speaker 4: So this popped up over the weekend.
49:49
Speaker 2: There's rumors floating around that he's actually going to intend
49:52
Speaker 2: he's actually going to require the Coca Cola start using
49:56
Speaker 2: cane sugar instead of high fructose syrup if he's brought
50:01
Speaker 2: into the position at the Department of Health and Human.
50:05
Speaker 4: Services, right, And actually he does have form on this front.
50:09
Speaker 2: So he spoke about this earlier on in the year
50:11
Speaker 2: as well, when he was still running for president.
50:14
Speaker 18: Right.
50:14
Speaker 2: So there's there's some discussion here about him saying that
50:18
Speaker 2: if you want to drink a coke, drink a Mexican
50:20
Speaker 2: coke because Mexican coke uses sugar and not hyfructose syrup,
50:25
Speaker 2: which is less damaging for you. But this is a
50:28
Speaker 2: little bit like saying to a junkie that they have
50:31
Speaker 2: to stop using methadone and start injecting heroin again because
50:34
Speaker 2: it's natural, right, Or you know, don't smoke methanthetamine, smoke
50:39
Speaker 2: cracker caine instead.
50:41
Speaker 4: That's really the message that's being delivered here.
50:44
Speaker 2: And this to me just doesn't make any sense whatsoever. Right,
50:47
Speaker 2: the RFK Junior RFK Junior's credibility seems to be going
50:52
Speaker 2: up in smoke. Now there's one other potential appointment that
50:57
Speaker 2: I'm going to reference that I.
50:58
Speaker 4: Actually think it's quite good.
51:00
Speaker 2: Actually, she's Tom Holman under questioning boy Alexandria are going
51:07
Speaker 2: to call an occasional call sex. But it's not that
51:09
Speaker 2: it's AOC from earlier on this month.
51:17
Speaker 19: Mister Holman, your name is on this Is this correct?
51:21
Speaker 13: Yes?
51:21
Speaker 18: I signed that memo, So.
51:22
Speaker 19: You are the author of the family separation polomy.
51:25
Speaker 18: I'm not the author of this memo.
51:26
Speaker 19: You're not the author, but you signed the memo.
51:29
Speaker 18: Yes, a zero tolerance memo.
51:32
Speaker 19: So you provided the official recommendation to Secretary Nielsen on
51:37
Speaker 19: Family for the United States to pursue family separation.
51:40
Speaker 18: I gave Secretary Nielsen numerous recommendations on how to secure
51:43
Speaker 18: the border and save lives.
51:45
Speaker 19: But it says here that you read you gave her
51:47
Speaker 19: numerous options, but the recommendation was option three, family separation.
51:51
Speaker 18: What I'm saying this is not the only paper where
51:54
Speaker 18: were given the Secretary numerous options to secure the border
51:57
Speaker 18: and saved lives.
51:58
Speaker 19: And so the recommendation of the many that you recommended,
52:02
Speaker 19: you recommended family separation.
52:04
Speaker 18: I recommend a zero tolerance.
52:06
Speaker 19: Which includes family separation, the same.
52:09
Speaker 18: As is wherever US citizen parent gets you wrested when
52:11
Speaker 18: there with a child.
52:16
Speaker 19: Zero tolerance was interpreted as the policy that separated children
52:20
Speaker 19: from there.
52:21
Speaker 18: If I get arrested for DUI and I have a
52:23
Speaker 18: young child in a car, I won't be separated. When
52:25
Speaker 18: ilse a police officer in New York and I arrested
52:27
Speaker 18: a father for domestic violence, I separate that mister.
52:30
Speaker 19: With all due respect. Legal assyl leaves are not charged with.
52:36
Speaker 18: Any crime when you're in the country legally as violation
52:40
Speaker 18: eight United States Code thirteen twenty.
52:41
Speaker 19: Five, speaking asylum is legal.
52:44
Speaker 18: Do you want to seek asylum and go through the
52:45
Speaker 18: port of entry, do it the legal way. The attorney
52:48
Speaker 18: General of the United States has made that clear.
52:50
Speaker 2: Okay, Tom Homan. Trump's boot as are no nonsense. Most
53:00
Speaker 2: legislation doesn't bow under pressure under questioning. Appears to be
53:05
Speaker 2: completely focused on just this equal treatment in front of
53:08
Speaker 2: the law. I'd like five of those sent to the
53:10
Speaker 2: Home Office immediately, please, But unfortunately that's not going to happen.
53:14
Speaker 4: And I think the net outcome of someone like that
53:17
Speaker 4: being put in charge of the.
53:18
Speaker 2: US border means that we're going to see even greater
53:21
Speaker 2: waves of immigration coming into Europe. I think that's going
53:25
Speaker 2: to be the net outcome. So just two of Trump's
53:28
Speaker 2: picks there that I thought i'd draw people's attention to.
53:32
Speaker 1: But thank you very much. I'm sure we're going to
53:34
Speaker 1: see much more turbulence in the world because that's part
53:38
Speaker 1: of the k or some breakdown. They need to build
53:41
Speaker 1: that better. But let's lift things up a bit, Diane,
53:44
Speaker 1: who prompted for a segment a little bit more uplifting today.
53:49
Speaker 1: We know that many members in our many members of
53:52
Speaker 1: the UK colum and people in our audience say, my goodness,
53:55
Speaker 1: the news is so terrible. We need something to cheer
53:59
Speaker 1: us up a bit. What have you got?
54:03
Speaker 5: Decided it was really a good time to do something uplifting,
54:07
Speaker 5: for sure, and I have some good things to report.
54:09
Speaker 5: So if those of you who are familiar with the
54:11
Speaker 5: work of the wonderful cartoonist Bob Moran, we've covered him
54:15
Speaker 5: previously through an interview that Mike and Charles did with
54:18
Speaker 5: him over the summer in the studio, and he was
54:21
Speaker 5: one of our speakers at our UK Column location events
54:24
Speaker 5: in Bristol last month, and you'll see in the back
54:27
Speaker 5: of the interview photo that we've got there that his
54:31
Speaker 5: cartoons Spiritual War is one of the ones that we
54:34
Speaker 5: have in the studio. It's a reproduction, I'm sure of it,
54:37
Speaker 5: because the original sold on his website for seventy five
54:40
Speaker 5: thousand pounds and I can guarantee you we didn't buy
54:42
Speaker 5: an original. But what I would say is that his book,
54:45
Speaker 5: which he's been on tour with, is sort of sending
54:48
Speaker 5: him around the country for some book signing, and so
54:51
Speaker 5: I was able to catch up with him on Thursday
54:53
Speaker 5: night in Newcastle, and what I'd like to do is
54:56
Speaker 5: just give you a kind of an overview of how
54:59
Speaker 5: great the event was, and just a couple of quotes
55:02
Speaker 5: that I've taken from the introduction to Bob's books. So
55:04
Speaker 5: I'm just going to read a few sentenses because I
55:06
Speaker 5: believe these are the kinds of words that we all.
55:08
Speaker 6: Need to hear right now.
55:10
Speaker 5: He said, I've stopped trying to comfort my audience by
55:12
Speaker 5: playing down the gravity of our situation or distracting them
55:16
Speaker 5: from it, which is what we are trying to do
55:18
Speaker 5: at uk column as well.
55:19
Speaker 6: But I want to show fully the tragedy of.
55:21
Speaker 5: Our times while offering reasons to be optimistic. There are many.
55:25
Speaker 5: The enemy's mistake is hubris. Total godlike power cannot be obtained.
55:30
Speaker 5: There will always be someone who refuses to conform, and
55:33
Speaker 5: that certainly includes all of us. Here if we look
55:36
Speaker 5: at this particular drawing of well the drawing side as
55:40
Speaker 5: well as the finished cartoon side. This is one of
55:42
Speaker 5: the things that's really interesting about the book is because
55:45
Speaker 5: you get to see some of the original sketches, what
55:48
Speaker 5: was going on in his mind as he developed the
55:50
Speaker 5: full version. And here we have Boris Johnson drunk, throwing up.
55:54
Speaker 6: On the rules and with needles in his arms. So
55:58
Speaker 6: there we go.
56:00
Speaker 5: One of the ones that I think was pretty funny
56:02
Speaker 5: at the time and still is. So the event itself
56:05
Speaker 5: on Thursday night in Newcastle. Was announced the day before
56:09
Speaker 5: because he has tried to put a Newcastle in the
56:11
Speaker 5: past and was canceled, and so it was very It
56:15
Speaker 5: was announced on.
56:16
Speaker 6: Twitter, but really it was very sort of low key.
56:19
Speaker 5: I took a photo of the little book signing upstairs
56:22
Speaker 5: of that was the only sign anywhere in the pub
56:24
Speaker 5: where it was held on how to find him, so
56:26
Speaker 5: I actually had to ask someone where to go. So
56:29
Speaker 5: he was just trying to not have the event canceled
56:31
Speaker 5: once again. I had a great time with these two.
56:34
Speaker 6: This is Julie and Steve. They are you could call
56:38
Speaker 6: him members.
56:39
Speaker 5: They were at the Sounds Beautiful event over the summer
56:42
Speaker 5: and they are going to the Farmer's protest tomorrow all
56:44
Speaker 5: the way from Newcastle, so we had a great time together.
56:49
Speaker 5: The next photo is be with Tanya Edwards, who is
56:52
Speaker 5: a comedian who's worked with Bob on his show Are Apocalypse,
56:55
Speaker 5: and she was the editor of Bob's book, which by
56:57
Speaker 5: the way, is called Bob twenty twenty to twenty two four,
57:00
Speaker 5: which basically highlights the videos about the videos, the cartoons
57:05
Speaker 5: that he did over those four years. So there's a
57:07
Speaker 5: photo with me and Bob I didn't realize, even though
57:11
Speaker 5: I've seen him in person, how tall he was, at
57:13
Speaker 5: least compared to me. Very tall man, very very nice,
57:17
Speaker 5: very sweet man though, And this is how he signed
57:19
Speaker 5: my book, which really warmed my heart, I have to say.
57:22
Speaker 5: He said to Diane, keep up the great work at
57:25
Speaker 5: UK column.
57:26
Speaker 6: The truth will prevail. Best wish is Bob.
57:29
Speaker 5: I did a ten minute video interview with Bob, and
57:35
Speaker 5: I've just got a short clip from it here that
57:37
Speaker 5: I'd like to show.
57:38
Speaker 6: And I'd like to show the full.
57:40
Speaker 5: Interview somewhere else, maybe on our website or somewhere in
57:42
Speaker 5: your future, but here's a short clip from it. So
57:46
Speaker 5: I noticed you spend a lot of time talking to
57:48
Speaker 5: people when you sign them, which is amazing. What have
57:51
Speaker 5: you learned so far from people as you.
57:53
Speaker 6: Talked to them about your book.
57:55
Speaker 20: Well, that's the main thing everyone says is they're very
58:00
Speaker 20: grateful from my work to make them.
58:03
Speaker 6: Feel that their works alone, because all of.
58:07
Speaker 20: Us who were concerned about this stuff that's been happening
58:11
Speaker 20: felt very isolated, you know, and obviously lots of our
58:14
Speaker 20: friends and family didn't feel the same way, and so
58:17
Speaker 20: people were immediately placed in a position where they thought
58:21
Speaker 20: they maybe were going mad because no one else thought
58:24
Speaker 20: that them. And one of the things my work obviously
58:27
Speaker 20: did was show them that, no, you're not mad. Somebody
58:31
Speaker 20: else does think like you. In fact, they feel such
58:36
Speaker 20: a conviction about this stuff that they've taken the time
58:38
Speaker 20: to draw a picture and painted.
58:40
Speaker 6: Yeah, so it can't be mad.
58:42
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, And I think one of the best
58:44
Speaker 5: things we can do is to laugh at it when
58:46
Speaker 5: we can, because some of the humor and some of
58:48
Speaker 5: your cartoons just really puts things into perspective for me
58:51
Speaker 5: as well.
58:52
Speaker 20: Yeah, laughter is one of the key things to undoing
58:56
Speaker 20: their spells trying to weave on this and it's a
59:03
Speaker 20: great release because it's very sad and driving what's happening.
59:08
Speaker 20: But you've always happed to art.
59:13
Speaker 5: So what's your plan for your next cartoons? Are you're
59:16
Speaker 5: going to do some Trump things?
59:17
Speaker 6: I know you've done one with the Heartburst thing. I
59:19
Speaker 6: saw that one.
59:21
Speaker 18: Yeah.
59:21
Speaker 20: The Trump thing has really kind of thrown a bit
59:25
Speaker 20: of a curve ball into the whole movement because it's
59:30
Speaker 20: yet another thing that's really divided people, where a lot
59:36
Speaker 20: of people are very upset that I'm not jumping for
59:38
Speaker 20: joy about Trump.
59:41
Speaker 6: I'm that either, it's fine.
59:47
Speaker 5: So the cartoon that I was referring to it says,
59:50
Speaker 5: I feel like my heart might burst. He did it
59:53
Speaker 5: drunk twenty twenty four, and so we can see what
59:56
Speaker 5: the implication is there with Trump and what role he
1:00:00
Speaker 5: had to play in what happened in.
1:00:01
Speaker 6: Our past few years. And so got I looked at
1:00:05
Speaker 6: this weekend.
1:00:06
Speaker 5: What is Bob doing now? So he's clearly thinking more
1:00:08
Speaker 5: about Trump. And I've just got one short video clip
1:00:10
Speaker 5: that he retweeted of the weekend with the comments, Haha,
1:00:14
Speaker 5: this is hilarious. If you can watch this without realizing
1:00:16
Speaker 5: that they're screaming into your face that the whole thing
1:00:19
Speaker 5: is a complete con, you're properly lost.
1:00:22
Speaker 6: So let's see what he's talking about.
1:00:25
Speaker 4: They said he was done forever, he is done the
1:00:29
Speaker 4: end of this tuna.
1:00:30
Speaker 5: Newface is a new voice in the final chapter of
1:00:33
Speaker 5: Donald Trump. I don't know what the future of this party.
1:00:37
Speaker 6: Conveying grew, the movement we started is only just beginning.
1:00:41
Speaker 9: The entire system went after was rated by FBIA New
1:00:46
Speaker 9: York Indictment Weeping Indictment.
1:00:48
Speaker 1: Georgium says he's been indicted again.
1:00:50
Speaker 6: I was shot with a bullet that hears the upper
1:00:52
Speaker 6: part of my right ears.
1:00:54
Speaker 4: But he never stopped fighting for you.
1:00:56
Speaker 18: I will never stop fighting for you, your family, and
1:00:59
Speaker 18: our magnificent country.
1:01:01
Speaker 4: And we will win, win, win. We're gonna win, win, win.
1:01:04
Speaker 4: Thank you, President Trump for fighting for us.
1:01:07
Speaker 14: The greatest political comeback in American history.
1:01:11
Speaker 13: Donald Trump has been elected president.
1:01:14
Speaker 4: Now it's time we fight for you. The Old Age
1:01:18
Speaker 4: of America.
1:01:19
Speaker 12: That's all we have.
1:01:20
Speaker 14: The best is yet to come.
1:01:26
Speaker 5: So that just proves the point there that he is
1:01:28
Speaker 5: an actor. To me that looks like a film trailer
1:01:30
Speaker 5: more than it looks like anything else. And I just
1:01:32
Speaker 5: want to leave the audience with one final quote from
1:01:35
Speaker 5: Bob's book. There will always be someone somewhere who is
1:01:38
Speaker 5: guided by their conscience. There will always be someone somewhere
1:01:41
Speaker 5: who has faith, and that in the end will be enough.
1:01:46
Speaker 6: Everything they're doing.
1:01:47
Speaker 5: Leads to their own destruction. You cannot have an assortment
1:01:50
Speaker 5: of people pledged to wickedness and deception without arriving at
1:01:54
Speaker 5: a certain point where, in the total absence of love,
1:01:57
Speaker 5: they turn on each other and destroy themselves. It's inevitable.
1:02:02
Speaker 5: It might take a long time, and it is for
1:02:04
Speaker 5: us to stand.
1:02:05
Speaker 1: Apart Tyanne, thank you very much. Well, that must be
1:02:11
Speaker 1: good because we've got a mixture of education mixed with humor,
1:02:16
Speaker 1: which I think is a really great combination. Now I'm
1:02:19
Speaker 1: watching the time here and I've got to say I
1:02:21
Speaker 1: think we've got to the end of the news today.
1:02:25
Speaker 1: We've ended on an upbeat note, so I hope that
1:02:28
Speaker 1: makes a lot of people happy. We're going to discuss
1:02:32
Speaker 1: some other subjects in Extra In particular, we're going to
1:02:35
Speaker 1: be having a little look at Elil Musk and we'll
1:02:38
Speaker 1: also be looking at the big fraw over Alison Pearson,
1:02:43
Speaker 1: the Telegraph journalist and her X tweet X whatever you
1:02:50
Speaker 1: do in X tweet I believe, and we'll cover that
1:02:54
Speaker 1: in Extra time. And I'll just say that. Occasionally people say, yes,
1:02:58
Speaker 1: but why does the UK Collum arch for extra time.
1:03:01
Speaker 1: It isn't that we charge for it. It's something that
1:03:04
Speaker 1: we give to the people who are kind enough to
1:03:07
Speaker 1: support us financially. So this is something extra that we
1:03:11
Speaker 1: do for the people that support UK Colum and help
1:03:15
Speaker 1: us keep going. So if you're not able at the
1:03:18
Speaker 1: moment to join us in extra look out for the
1:03:21
Speaker 1: ones we do make public. But otherwise that's why we
1:03:24
Speaker 1: do it. It's a big thank you to the people
1:03:27
Speaker 1: who are paid up members. We must end there. Thank
1:03:31
Speaker 1: you for joining us. The News will be back on
1:03:34
Speaker 1: Wednesday at one o'clock. Extra will start shortly, and just
1:03:39
Speaker 1: a reminder that maybe amongst the many people expected in
1:03:42
Speaker 1: London tomorrow, Mike and I might be able to meet you.
1:03:47
Speaker 1: We'll see. Thanks for joining us, Bye bye,
