but a joint investigation by the centre for climate reporting and the bbc has found that the uae had planned to use the opportunity to discuss fossil fuel deals with 15 nations. fossilfuels like coal, oil and gas are the biggest contributors to carbon emissions, leading to rising global temperatures. cop28 organisers have said the report is inaccurate and the uae said, "private meetings are private". i have been speaking to graham riddell, a climate and sustainability consulting leader, and he gave me his reaction to the possible discussions of fossil fuel deals at cop28, an event that aims to lessen the worst impact of climate change by limiting the rising global temperatures. first reaction is everybody needs to be at the table. we cannot avoid having heavy

fossil fuel leading companies economywide not there. first reaction of heavy fossil fuel leading company economy—wide response. scrutiny is good, discussion is good, the more people involved in taking action and engaging in climate change is by far the better. the more private sector engagement in this issue is better than what we saw 10, 20, 30 years ago when it was a very governmental—driven process. if we go back, at cop27 a loss and damage fund was agreed upon for richer countries to pay the poorer countries which were suffering the impacts of climate change. how do you see that working out, because that has been one of the numerous sticking points? the private sector needs to get far more engaged in discussion around adaptation to finance too. loss and damage just one element that is going to help build more resilient society. insurance needs to be more engaged, project developments, fiancing and constructing. particularly in asia, as it urbanises and develops economies quite quickly.

climate change needs to be built into the discussion and building infrastructure that's more resilient. how optimistic are you about some sort of concrete decisions and also the role of the private sector which is very crucial as you point out? all the preparatory meetings have been leading up to something that is coming out quite well. there have been a lot more preparatory meetings than had been planned for this cop. hopefully that's an indication of outcomes nearing and a lot of the contentious points being discussed prior to getting into the uae. fingers crossed, we do not want another year of delay and obfuscation. private sector i think with 70,000 people there, it is a lot of people there. hopefully it means private sector is properly engaged and we see finance actually flowing after this week. another heavy cabin and mentor is you and me. whenever we go on holidays, we travelled by our planes. airline companies and governments are trying to change that.

the answer they say is sustainable aviation fuel which contains items like used cooking oil which in theory has a smaller carbon footprint. environmental campaigners and scientists are sceptical saying this present more questions rather than answers. as katie austin reports. how to decarbonise flying is a very big and difficult question. a flight from london to new york today aims to demonstrate part of the answer. traditionaljet fuel is made from fossilfuels, from oil. this plane is being filled with an alternative — 50 tons of it. so—called sustainable aviation fuel or saf can be made from a variety of sources, including crops, household waste and cooking oils. on this occasion a combination of two types is being used. one that is made from waste fats — 88%. and 12% made from a fuel made out of waste from corn

reduction in the us. it has a life—cycle carbon emission which is materially lower than traditional jet fuel. when we talk about sustainable aviation fuel, it comes across is that, including production which is where we see most of the carbon emission gain. at the moment such alternatives account for less than 0.1% of aviation fuel use around the world. relatively small amounts are made and they cost more. airlines argue it can play a significant role in making the industry greener if more of it can be produced but for the sector to meet emissions targets by 250 but for the sector to meet emissions targets by 2050 it would need other technologies as well. we cannot produce a majority of our fuel requirements this way because we do not have the feed stocks. even if you do, those fuels are not true net zeros. we must treated as what it must be, which is a stepping stone towards future genuine net zero technologies which might be e—fuels, it might be hydrogen,

it might be some technologies which we still have at the laboratory stage. environmental campaigners stayed to cut emissions quickly is to fly fewer hour. india has clenched a i—$.6 billion investment from foxconn, the manufacture of apple iphone. 0ur india correspondent is joining us from mumbai. good to have you on the programme. tell us more about what this investment? it looks like they are raising this money essentially to expand their plan although blomberg which has seen some findings say they have made clear were exactly the money would go apart from saying that it would be essentially going into funding the operational needs into the country. foxconn has been expanding in india and it comes

at the back of the announcement that the company would be essentially keen to double both its investments and also its workforce in the country over the next few years. they have recently hit a milestone of $10 billion so this in additional investment signals the bullishness of the indian market. it is also reflective in many ways of the global supply chain diversification that we see away from traditional markets like china into newer geographies like india, bangladesh and vietnam and certainly india seems to be the beneficiary of a lot of global manufacturing. it has been a boost to the indian prime minister. to try and really try lua some manufacturing investment away from china into india domestically.— india domestically. thank you very much — india domestically. thank you very much forgetting - india domestically. thank you

to the registration plate. a few hours later a swedish court issued an interim judgement in tesla's favour, saying it must deliver the plates. in response, ceo elon musk posted on x, the social media platform he owns, thanking the country. tesla's billionaire boss is famously antiunion and has managed to avoid collective bargaining in its global operations. the decision is a blow to the swedish labour movement but it is not the end of the fight. we turn out to australia where data shows retail sales for the month of october have slipped. like many, the country has been grappling with rising prices with its central bank raising rates in november to try and curb inflation but there slipped in spending is likely due to seasonal adjustments, according to anz a senior economist. i spoke with them earlier. people are spending in australia. there is still a lot of money

flowing around in spending, savings buffers on aggregate have not been eroded and because we had run of the longest lockdowns in the world they are very strong. however, we are also seeing that some cohorts due to cost—of—living pressures especially in the housing market in australia are really not able to spend as much as last year. per person spending will be down but with over 2% population growth over the year as well as some cohorts having income growth as well as strong savings buffers, we are not likely to see any kind of cliff in spending this year. more just perhaps modest growth or a stagnate. before we go, another story that made the headlines. bytedance the parent company of tiktok is cutting jobs in its gaming division despite investing billions. spokes person said it is restructuring its gaming business after reviewing its strategic growth areas. much more on that story and all
