7:00 pm
gets done in the british isles. i think it's why so many people, but one of the reasons why so many people have come, the winds come to london to be a part of it. i've been talking to many of them throughout the day. lots of them come for quite significant distances, but no one i've spoken to so far has come as, as from far away as kesha. now kesha you came here, tell us where you came from. came from canada and you flew today. i flew in at 1 pm today from toronto, and i'm originally from newfoundland, and i currently live in toronto. so why did you come? why did you think it was important? is a part of history and love history. and what other time are you going to be able to come here and be a part of that? when did you decide that this was something you were going to be doing today? probably last weekend because you thought this isn't going to target that that,
7:01 pm
that i didn't make it for the for the long walk. did you just go here too late for that? yeah, i didn't, wasn't able to make it in because there was like a 100000 people. i think that was and they turned it away, but it was just going to come and watch it on the big screen. so tell us about your impressions, how, how you felt your emotions of watching the day unfolding. it was quite exciting. and i know like a lot of people are morning. yes it is. but. but it's just a history that, you know, you can't take back about who you are here representing it. so i'm representing may i make my 1st nations, this is actually a shirt from a non profit organization her in the band back in new plan canada. so you're not just going out in your indigenous canadian as well. yeah. so what is it about the queen?
7:02 pm
why do you think that you have felt the need to, to come here and one of the queen in this way? what does she mean to you? i will, i know back when my grandma was a younger she had met between, you know, we have it on our canadian money and the queen. i never got to meet her person, but at least if i couldn't meet her person to be here at her final moment, you know, be laid to rest her back home in canada. how is this event being perceived? how's the queen's death being seen? every one is waking up at like $46.00 am in the morning just to watch. 2 the funeral her over. do you think, i mean, oversee this is the queen was the head of the commonwealth. canada is a, is a commonwealth nation. we now have a new head of the commonwealth. and king charles, do you think that the commonwealth is perhaps a difficult question, putting on the spot? do you think the commonwealth can endure in its current form?
7:03 pm
do you think that king charles will have the same ah resonance with nations around the world. as the queen has had, i don't know if you'll ever be able to play the game away to along life and brain and, you know, been across the world and inspired a lot. so i don't know if anybody could replace the key to get an experience being in the u. k. m plus she's a woman, so like empowering women. absolutely. like a beautiful thing. so yeah. so when you go home, what would you tell friends and family about being a part of history. i got to meet a lot of people like to be on tv. i love the accents and he said, have a wonderful day. thank you very much for joining us. there thank you very much. sorry. so that's the voice of the crowd. many people be speaking to setting the individual stories or individual impressions about coming here and being as he said,
7:04 pm
that part of history. thanks so much roy challenge there. we're looking at live pictures continuing to come in from windsor castle. we're looking at the departure now of members of the role family. we saw the prince, william, prince harry leave, and other members continuing to leave after a historic moment in the history of the u. k. monarchy let's bring in alan fisher. he's watching it for us. i'm a, like i said, a historic moment, and every part of this funeral has been steeps in historic procedure. tell us a little bit about the meaning of that specially for international view is watching senses and old being moved in him being sun it really does mark something that historians will talk about when we are long gone
7:05 pm
about the end of the modern, elizabethan age, 70 years on the throne for elizabeth, when so much changed from 1952 when she ascended to the throne. when there was the remnants of an empire which developed into a very small commonwealth and then became a very big family of nations. certainly there were the trappings there that you would expect to see as the coffin was carried up the steps, you could see the state cro in the or been the sept of the instruments of state and they were slowly removed and placed on the altar. they of course, will be probably returned to the toad of london, where they will remain until a date is fixed for charles is, ah, or in coordination. a depending on who you believe it could be next april or may or june. or if you listen to others, that is no rush for the royal family to do this. not least because of the cost may
7:06 pm
be seen the eyes prohibitive. at a time when many families in the united kingdom are not just struggling to feed their children, they're struggling to heat their homes. so the economic climate may have to change before britain is ready to and enjoy and participate in a, a full coordination. and you also saw the lord chancellor standing beside the king . he is the head of the queen's household. he stepped forward and he snapped his one deval fists, which essentially is his authority from the queen that now goes with the death of the queen. and he snapped it and placed it on the coffin a final farewell from his household. and from him he himself. i do remember that as the the coffin was driven past buckingham palace at the front of palace, members of staff came out to stand there and say their own farewell to the queen. they had the chance to do that when her body was lying in rest at buckingham palace
7:07 pm
before they moved to, to westminster hall. but this was their farewell. on the day of her funeral, every one will know to depart from inside windsor castle. it will be left to the family and those closest to them. no, to participate in the final part of this at their own 715 local time this evening. so we're talking about in 2 hours or so when they will gather and saint george's chapel, the 16th century chapel. that is right beyond that wall. a in windsor castle. and there, there will be a short private ceremony. a and a prince. and queen elizabeth will be laid to rest beside a husband, prince philip, who died last year and just a short distance away from the queen. mother her own mother who died in 2002 and also her father who died in 1952. which of course,
7:08 pm
led to the queen becoming the queen. there will be no tv cameras. there no stills cameras. it will simply be the family led by the king, because in the wards of buckingham palace, this is a deeply passionate family occasion. and you can understand that sentiment simply because so much of this has been played out in public from i did the queen's death a week passed thursday and, and the trip down the east coast of scotland to edinburgh. and then on to buckingham palace at the king making the visit to scotland and northern ireland and wales. it has all been very much in public and here finally, there will be given the chance to see farewell as sons and daughters as grandchildren and his great grandchildren to the matriarch of the family. she may have been the monarch but to them. she was just family. i thank so much, alan fish there from windsor castle. let's continue this though. we're going to
7:09 pm
bring in now acid bag. we're going to move very much the north of the country. he's live for us from new castle. i said, i think you can hear me now. so tell us how people to north of the u. k. are taking it all in well, we've been in the north of england ne, everyone currently un new casa, and pretty much the on board with the national mood morning. the queen. many people have been come here throughout the day for paying their respect. so some people are crying, they observe the 2 minute silence. the square now is a bit quiet, but you're on. it was very full. now. we were in the northeast of england, middlesborough stops on tv. went to manchester speaking to people from across the north of the country. and many people said that they respect the creed. you know that they believe that she should be remembered. for some people did raise the issue about the cost of this funeral that could run into the $1000000.00 saying
7:10 pm
that they felt that money could be better spent time when we spoke death, think minority groups in manchester. but there seems to be a generational divide. the younger generation felt like they were detached from the monarchy. they question the purpose of it. many really asked questions, right implant the legacy of colonialism as the older generation? well, they felt grateful for being this country and opportunities that they've been afforded and the stability the queen had offered them. but right now i am joined by a man that runs a local radio station. kyle scott: kyle: tell me what the mood is we in this city, the people that you've spoken to. the best way to describe it. it's been like a roller coaster of emotions for me, myself, interviewing all, and i am people here in new customers while it has been one heck of a journey. i want somebody want said to me at media school, you know your per page, you know, have you been sol?
7:11 pm
sauder g already both. my god. i was telling you earlier this evening with the moment the sad news came on thursday, the 8th of september. the sadness that came over me as a person was so sad, but today, you know, the emotion is here in new castle with the amount of people out here in the square to do it earlier. today was great to see those paying. they were suspended due to her majesty, queen elizabeth the 2nd you've. you also took talking about in the cost of living crisis as a, you know, that's been going on. who was the funeral has been going on, you know, what are the challenges that some of the people that face to face in the city? well, are you on a local radio station here in the northeast and this, this friends around the country and close that radio stations down simply because they call and kinda afford to rotan, which is so sad. it's also so sat here in new castle seeing businesses closed down
7:12 pm
simply because of the cost of living. we have been able to pay that stuff, been able to to him that business. and so sat with kyle said there is a cost of living christ is taking place in the u. k. right now the funeral is taking place. many people are mourning the queen and hang there with that. have been christians raised by people across the country about the cost of this funeral over that money can be better spent to do. okay. all right, thanks so much. i said back there as bring in simon mails. he's a retired british army officer, former senior defense advisor for the middle east. he's in london, joins us now live from the british capital. you know, the infantry, the cavalry. we've seen minute tree procedure. it's all been
7:13 pm
a big part of this funeral, hasn't it? been a huge part ah, and what a joyous and what a professional contribution the armed forces have made. i'm so proud of every man, a woman in the armed forces who's turned out to day and every one of them because as a professional soldier 10 days ago, ah, the news of her majesty's death would have reached them. a well thought through plans will have been initiated on i think the sheer intricacy of the security of military operation today is an absolute tribute to those organizers and all those young soldier service men and women are who as i say, are combat soldier. ceremonial is not their core business. ah, will have absolutely felt so proud to have taken part in today's today's commemoration of the queen's most glorious 7070 years of rule. and i'm very proud
7:14 pm
to have been a service man who was in her majesty's armed forces for 40 years myself. and perhaps we should also remember that although the u. k is a constitutional monarchy. the queen remains according to the constitutional principles, the commander in chief of the british armed forces. bry, what does that mean to the military when they have to essentially bury their commander in chief? it's a personal or it could be 40 years in the army in a general like myself. or do i say one of those very young troopers or naval ratings pulling the, the, the gun carriage today? i knew understand, institution is a monarchy. there's a government. ah, there's an armed forces, a police are but then you feel my good of that. we are her majesty's armed forces. it's her majesty's police force as well, of course. and so institutionally, you feel very connected, but personally,
7:15 pm
you feel connected. her majesty was colonel in chief of so many regiments, king charles, a king charles his current of my regiment, the wells carry the queen's room guard. so every soldier, sailor, there been a, feels a real personal affinity to the mon, again to the royal family, which is i think, a source of huge strength. and of course, every soldier, sally, a man and woman, of course, has family and brothers and sisters and father's mother. so the connection of the armed forces through the whole of british society, leaving back up to the monarch is, is, is a remarkable source of strength. and stability and huge pride, i think, to united kingdom. all right, thank you so much for sharing your thoughts on that as just bring viewers up to speed with the live pictures. we're looking at right now of windsor castle, where the public portion of the funeral service has been completed. queen elizabeth, the 2nd, has been lowered into the royal vault at saint george's chapel at windsor castle
7:16 pm
in a long day. but only for the public. watching all of this members of the royal family participating in it, but also for a lot of the police force di davis is a former head of raw protection, joins me now live from snow donia in the u. k. it's been a very long day for you to no doubt. well, good morning. yes, i saw him talking to various just off the 6 am this morning. one who wanted me on there are 3 a. i thought i must get some b to speak, but you can see i need that quite considerably. but no, seriously, i have nothing compared to those wonderful men and women all the services. and i agree with the former general with everything he said, never was a word spoken. i'm also immensely proud of the metropolitan police and those other
7:17 pm
these for the valley in when those who came to support us on this incredible historical day. it truly has been a global example of organization and ability, and i also share the pride of the general and everything i've seen today. amazing. give us an idea of what sort of logistical operation would needed to be put together and, and so quickly in order to hold an event, this big and big not only in terms of the pump and procedure, not only in terms of the crowd. so i was also the international figures and heads of state showing up that is quite a difficult thing to pull off, right. we take for granted when it works smoothly. well yes, you're quite right in terms of the magic aspect, the diplomatic or foreign office and her majesty's government would have taken care
7:18 pm
of a huge amount of that. the metropolitan police and the security says this would have been liaising very quickly and succinctly, with other intelligence and police forces to deal with visiting the fees and their protection. but in terms of logistics, just housing and making sure all these b i was say, was the cure and were protected in some, these are good, this means somebody's protecting more than others. so that in itself was an enormous sauce. but again, the metropolitan police historically has been doing this for many, many years. and we are used to much smaller visits by the fees and heads of state. but what was remarkable was the coordination today of actually bringing all of them together succinctly. how do i need to go and have a refreshment is beyond me? i take my hat so i don't think i could have long and put up with what they did. i
7:19 pm
think that's truly amazing, but that's also because they are younger than i am. but seriously, it is, has been a remarkable in his historical occasion. i can almost remember some of the other. ready historical cases like joe, obviously prince philip and diana, but nothing on this scale. when you see the coordination and the safety issues that have gone into this, it is truly amazing and remarkable, and is the show piece for the united kingdom. and i understand where people's date is a crisis in some people's money and all the rest of it. but you know, it's a showcase for britain and hope it will show how historical this face is and, and the wonderful sites. so i think it will boost tourism for this country and far outweigh whatever caused some people winning about. all right, thank you for sharing your thoughts on that. diane davis were continuing to look at
7:20 pm
pictures coming in from windsor castle, where queen elizabeth the 2nd this had a funeral and a coffin has been lowered into the oil vault. we saw members of the royal family leave. in a short while, i think couple of hours from now will be a private burial service. this is where the public path of the ceremony pretty much and historic day. so good to get the perspective haps of a historian spring in christopher wilson, royle historian and biographer, he's in london joined us from there. so, having watched it all the pageantry, the ceremony, how does it? how does it compare with with past historical precedent? well, sammy, i nothing in british history compare with this and that's a very bold statement, but it's quite simple. and we don't yet know how many people around the world
7:21 pm
watched this pageantry. but one estimate was that may be as many as 4000000000, which is born as half with population of well, i can't believe that that is true, but certainly are watching. figures were in billions and britain has changed its position in the world in recent years. it doesn't have quite power and influence of once a day, and that is just the way that history shifts. but what is important is that we still have this 1200 year old history, which we derived nourishment from, which we believe is part of our dna. and to be able to display the world in quite this way in this remarkable way to so many people it is, i think, upset, wonderful. the whole thing about being
7:22 pm
a king is to go out and beat as many people as you possibly can. that way you achieve how or esteem or whatever, and having a queen seen by these billions of people has re established britain in one small part. i'm not saying politically a constitution may historic play as a big nation in the world. alright, thank you so much. feel perspective. queen elizabeth, the 2nd came to the throne. in 1952, she became the longest reigning monarch in british history. charlie angela looks back of life. the purse was a life of public service and duties dedicated to her country. and the commonwealth, the longest reigning british monica who achieved universal respect the up to the sudden death of her father, king george,

7:24 pm
princess diana was killed in 1997. she was criticized for not initially sharing the public grief. more recently, she's had to endure the turmoil, prince harry and his wife megan marco, giving up their royal duties. and her son, prince andrew, facing sexual abuse allegations throughout her 70 year reign. her work ethic remained unsurpassed. supporting over 600 charities. she was also credited with modernizing the monarchy, including televise in her addresses to connect with her subjects in uncertain times, such as the kobe pandemic. she rallied the nation with messages of resilience. we should take comfort that while we may have more still to endure all better days will return. we will be with our friends again. we will be with our families again . we will meet again. i will,

7:29 pm
people watched a funeral at home when they had television fits, but as you can see, it's a normal working day. people are going about a business. some people really didn't seem to care that could have something to do with african complicated history with britain. but those who remembered the queen with kindness, remember when she came here in 1947 as a young girl with a family back, then it was a time of segregation between the races. black african were treated a 2nd class citizen. they couldn't even vote. and some historians said the queen noticed this and sometimes forgot about the way black people were being mistreated in south africa when a potted ended in 1994 and nelson mandela became to that because 1st that president historian says she had a very close relationship with nelson and they spoke a lot, they were very fond of each other as to the, the is talking about reconciliation amongst the races in today, south africa in today's africa, in general,

7:34 pm
hello, i'm adrian finnegan. this is counting the cost on i was here if you look at the world of business and economics this week, king charles the 3rd exceeds the throne as the u. k. faces of cost of living crisis . the critics of questioning the relevance of the world family at a time, a public can't ship. so how much does the monarchy cost? also this week, africa is likely to be the continent most effective by global warming. we speak to the director general of the world trade organization to find out how comas could be part of the climate solution at its dumbed quiet, quitting it's increasingly popular among young workers, rethinking their work life balance. but if it's not about people residing from that jobs, what is it about? the british wall family is among the largest and richest monarchies in europe. and despite the high cost of maintaining it,
7:35 pm
poll show the vast majority of britons back the institution. support to say it provides a sense of unity and pride, but the u. k. is facing the west cost of living crisis in decades. and critics a questioning the monarchies expensive budget. king charles the 3rd will take over his mother's portfolio at inherit untold riches, all eyes now and how the royal will manage the institution. known affectionately as the fum reach. helen's reports on queen elizabeth the seconds wealth. during the turn, the queen, the duke, and the printer, where each minted carnes themselves and the queen kept one another. she famously never carried cash. despite being the face of it throughout her long reign by government will continue to work. queen elizabeth was one of britain's wealthiest women, a monarch landowner, property tycoon, collector and investor, with an estimated personal fortune of about $500000000.00. her own wells came in
7:36 pm
part from her mother's estate properties including balmoral castle and scotland, a vast stamp collection artworks and beloved resources on it. one day the queen as monarch, she owned one of the biggest property portfolios in the u. k. the crown estate includes park shopping centers, offices, business and residential property, profits from the estate, which is an independent commercial business, got paid into the u. k. treasury, which in turn took 25 percent of the profits and paid them to the queen. this is called the sovereign grant. privately she received money from another estates, the dodgy of lancaster, which has held entrust, the sovereign. it's worth an estimated $682000000.00. the queen started paying tax voluntarily on its income in 1992 in 2017 and investigation
7:37 pm
called the paradise papers found about $13000000.00 had been invested by the duchy . legally offshore. in a caribbean tax haven, she did nothing wrong. it wasn't illegal, but most people for that all her investments when in britain and they were in blue chip companies and it did tanisha image of being whiter than white. it looked as though she was acting like a city fund manager. it's unlikely we'll ever really know how wealthy the british queen was for some her wealth represented an outdated institution that of monarchy for her support as though she was a valuable asset worth the coins and notes she appeared on. well, the sultan grant cost british taxpayers more than $100000000.00 us dollars last year. but the royal family is estimated to have cost less than $2.00 to produce citizen marco's royals have said to be the most expensive to the citizens. estimated to received around $55000000.00 in 2020,
7:38 pm
out of 10 main royal families in europe. the principality of licks and sign is the only monarchy that doesn't receive any public money from the tax. pat, only for members of luxemburg royal family workers, full time royals, and receive public money for doing so. the royal house received almost $12000000.00 in 2019. many european monarchies of slim down in recent decades. meaning the royals are expected to find jobs and pay their own weight. the netherlands has been described as a successful example of senior members of the low family holding down real jobs. joining me now from london is david haig. david is the chief executive officer consultancy firm brand finance. good to have you with us david. so britain's economy is saying turmoil inflation rising, the cost of living crisis, people of finding the going tough. and yet here we've had this extravagant display
7:39 pm
of grief. a very expensive funeral. is the british taxpayer getting value for money? well 1st of all, i think it's fair to say that the monkey as a whole. ready could you successfully high with economy, we've estimated that it's at least 4, if not 5 times what's the best and it does and whole right waste. and i think the 2nd thing taking there is that the reason is the house being very, very concerned about demonstrating value for money and being transparent. and. ready so if you actually look at what they spend, the money on the old is closed and very far and told across by a variety of different people. fact is that this kind of state enterprise is expensive. house is running troops like security is. ready very expensive, but in our opinion is worth the expenditure. i suppose you could argue as well that even in death queen elizabeth the 2nd. this is still working for britain and at
7:40 pm
a gym. it's image all of this pump circumstance, the accession of king charles the 3rd to the throne as well is going to bring tourists in to, to britain, is that they will want to come and see where all of this has happened. well they, they've been doing. ready to get their respects to the creed, and they will go on q and right to the end. and then they will live in the streets and, you know, many, many millions of people from one of the u. k. we've been watching the interviews for people on the street and it's mentioned that coming from all over the world, people come from canada, australia. ready just to pay their respect. and the moment he, we have said for is a very significant environmental tourism generator. people want to comment, she marcie the king himself is a wealthy man, thanks in part to the dog. she of course, which of course now pass to the prince of wales and is it right to think that the wall family has private sources of income which are not exactly private sources
7:41 pm
being come in that the much of the money is actually handed to the state you could draw a comparison with the presence of the usa, presence of the usa have their own private wealth and they make it or they can make it up. they get into office. think the king or queen is really the. ready head of state and the representative. so it's an equivalent past why has to distinguish between the private finance intellectuals and the states finances and getting things wrong? probably one level of competitors, many, it has their own world. the real time he's not that wealthy. they are very wealthy, people pay our standards, but they are not probably invest in potential williams. whereas the money which is invested in the country and its own by the country. ready houses and collections by the country that runs stage, but it belongs to the country. and i think that's my support. the principality of
7:42 pm
lex and side, as we were hearing a few moments ago, doesn't receive any public money from the taxpayer. and many more keys rely upon their own riches to do the job of being that country's representative if you'd like, just public funding of the monarchy in the u. k. given what's going on, economic lee still makes sense. well, i think if it wasn't demonstrate you were to pay, then it probably wouldn't be with does not least, for example, in the amount of free publicity, a coverage is favorable to us. so, you know, he would go around the world and ask, who is the king prince ruler of fine. and i to find anyone in the world who, even though i was in your mind, anyone who knows anything about it. so, you know, they may not be paying, you know, getting money back. whereas here in the u. k. all morning,
7:43 pm
he is making as one of the world's leading countries and for the money spent. got a great number. how mindful, don't you think king charles is of the criticism, but the royal family gets as far as it's expenditure is concerned. do you think that he will continue with this, this desire to, to be seen at least to be slipping down? are we going to see more royals expected to pay that way? perhaps by, by getting proper jobs? well, it is a proper job is that the, the roles do a great deal of good for charity, for institutions in the u. k. and the commonwealth of the world, and it's a very important job, a very tough job. lastly, i was actually working royals. they are the ones that actually get paid money by the state, the rest of the roads. and we do have to go out and make their living. they have to be very discrete about the way they do it. but in prince charles, i think he's a very sensitive, he's an extreme sensitive and an extreme intelligent. and he's been saying the
7:44 pm
years, the institution monitoring u. k. very transparent. and he's demonstrate that what he's doing is, you know, it's not extravagant and that it needs to return. i'm sure he will continue to do that. so as far as you're concerned, david brant wins out, the royal family in the u. k. provides excellent value for money. well we've been the same since 2011. ready when when keiko married right through the. ready jubilee through make and harry wedding, the royal family definitely piece a huge can you going into 3 chunks? one is tourism a trade where they have very, very favorable teeth. one is intense of the effect of the as a role lawrence. and thirdly, it's just a general goodwill instability factors that increase throughout the country. and one very good expression is. ready patronage of the role family around the world.
7:45 pm
ready which generates a great deal. well, with a companies. so yes, i think it's extremely good. david, really good to talk to you on counting the cost money. thanks cindy, to being with us. in the africa m, it's only around 3 percent of global gas emissions. and yet, african nations are among bows, most exposed to the impact of climate change. at least 20000000 people are at risk of severe hunger because of east africa was drought in a generation. the world trade organization says the trade can help the continent tackle global warming. i was a serious resort, said i spoke to the director general of the w. t. o goes he a condo, a whaler at the african adaptation summit in rotterdam, in the netherlands. actually we don't have to look too far to see the impact of climate change on trade. we saw this somehow rivers in europe that normally have
7:46 pm
badges that garry goods like the rind, the danube. beginning to dry up. i need making it difficult for 4 bodies to carry goods and then they have to be put on trucks and trains, which is far more expensive. so climate change is meaning that we might see the cost of treat, of going up because of shipping and transfer shipment issues. so that's one side of the equation. now on the other side that people don't think about is that trade is really part of the solution to climate change. trade is itself an instrument of adaptation. just think about this without trade, you will not be able to make available to new technologies that will help for climate adaptation. you will not be able to have access to the goods and services to take good practices. are from one country to the other. all this is facilitated by treat, so trade is centrally important. it's also an instrument of adapt
7:47 pm
a shot because if you have a climate event that makes it impossible for you to grow your food. oh, or that in on dates or you know, properties. and so you need to have access perhaps, to externally, to other countries, to be able to bring in food, bringing supplies, bringing equipment that you need. what agriculture is among the factors most at risk with some studies estimating that climate impacts could cause the continence crop, productivity growth by a 3rd. the w t. o says the africa's trade could help offset future shocks in agricultural output, africa, share of whoa to treat of global merchandise street is very low. it's less than 3 percent. this has to change. if ashley came to benefit from world trade and from the rules of the world trade organization, we need to trade more. so that means we shouldn't just be trading raw materials on
7:48 pm
commodities of that's. we've done. yeah. after a year, it means we need to start adding value to our products. i'd like to see africa's shelf well trade double within the next decade we should be doing 3 to 6. we should be doing up to 6 percent of world trade. to do that with must add value to our products. we must attract supply chains. you know, the world is starting to see that we need to diversify our supply chains because of what happened during the pandemic. when we saw that goods manufactured, certain goods is concentrated in a few countries, and that's risky, doc, diversification, we can take advantage of it to bring those supply chains to africa so well. so part of the global value chains, and i call it re globalization. let's use street to re globalize the world. am bring africa into the mainstream. of the trade in sister or conjure whaler says that ensuring access to new technologies is important to helping africa reduce the
7:49 pm
climate impact. they managed to get a compromise agreement at the w. 2, that is enabling, developing countries still have access to vaccine patterns using instruments that can override these for the next 5 years. i am sincerely hoping that with climate change the ravages of climate change, which will mean that we will not sometimes my food. we may not be able to grow food may need new technologies on the continent to help us out, drought resistant varieties of flood resistant varieties or new technologies. as you said, i'm hoping that knowing that we are all in this together, that we need global solidarity. we will be able to come to sensible arrangements whereby africa and those spots of the developing world that need new technologies can access it. whilst at the same time, not dis incentivize in those who want to create new technologies and do research.
7:50 pm
wealthy nations pledge to spend around $25000000000.00 by 2025 to help africa adapt to climate change. the world trade organization says with financing should be aligned with trade policies. africa needs a just transition. so it needs to be given time to be able to transition to that new technologies to renewables. it's beginning to happen, but it, but during this period, do we need to look at our deaf wells? not the may be the worst of the fossil fuels like or, but gas as it runs a jump will, is not been increasingly recognized so that the country can have base load power that can, you know, sort of pa, manufacturing on the continent and help us develop developed countries from mr. $100000000000.00 to go with the perry sack codes. we now understand that we are approaching 80. we hope that by the time we get to go $27.00 each. um no shake will
7:51 pm
nowhere 100 but that's just the beginning. we need more resources from both public and private sector. now for their w too. what can we do? let me tell you this. sometimes you can have money. i'm financing, but you're still not able to access the goods. you need to transition. we've seen it in the pandemic. there were those who had resources school that said money to purchase vaccines from africa. but because of export restrictions, kovacs was not able to get those vaccines out of india that time to when needed. so we want our members to make sure that for the green transition, we should look at how to keep bro, he'd be shuns on restrictions, down on green goods, on technologies that are needed. so that those developing countries, including countries in africa, will need access, can have it no williams of workers around the world lost their jobs during the pandemic, all those were forced to work from home and dance provided an opportunity for many
7:52 pm
employees to rethink their career choices reimagined the workplace and try to take back their power at work. for example. more than 70000000 american workers left their jobs in the year starting april 2021. what was known as the great resignation . now another trend is on the rise. it's called quiet quitting a despite the name, it has nothing to do with people actually residing from that jobs. well, the turn describes workers who only do the job that they're being paid to do. just meeting that job description without taking on any extra duties in order to focus on time spent outside the office. it's become a buzzword recently after i had con, an american tick tock user with over 10000 followers, posted a video that went viral saying, work is not your life. according to a survey by gala, including $15004.00 and part time workers, about half of american workers are quiet quitters. another term is also
7:53 pm
increasingly becoming part of the workplace debate. it's quiet firing. that defines employers to make working conditions, so miserable will deny resources or opportunity to workers aiming to force employees to leave without dismissing them outright. or to discuss all of this were joined by chris wor hook. chris is the director of the institute for employment research at the university of warrick. he joins us now from glasgow or the u. k. good teddy with us, chris. the fact that some employees feel unmotivated the drudge of the 9 to 5 not engaged with jobs is nothing new. people have always felt like that's why the fossil of a quiet, quitting old jones consist of a bundle of tasks, lease tusks, very loosely defined is he said customers or to drive a train and we never have the details. are you supposed to do that? and many people at discretionary assets to go the extra mile to know this is to
7:54 pm
customers when they're sending them so that customers feel good and come back will be the case of train drivers. and you can to moments and a series of sick feel come in and work an extra day, and all that helps companies be more efficient and, and work smoothly and quietly quitting means with drawings to look that discretionary assets and doing a minimum of specify min minimum specified in the contract and they don't tell those that the doing a kansas asylum withdrawal of labor and goodwill. and i think there's a couple of reasons why this might be happening in happening now. because as you say, it's nothing new, particularly for many of the 1970s people used to do something called work to rule when they were to speak with management. and that meant again that they were similarly to what was in the contract and nothing more. everything suddenly started to collapse, trains didn't run properly, schoolwork and probably cause i mean it because people were doing only the minimum
7:55 pm
. but the difference was in the old games that this was done collectively and openly. and now it's doing is being done kindly and on the individual basis. we don't know the extent that we collect stage, right? because it is a silent moment. i think some people linking to the con derek and say, for long workers to independently, if they were working at home and working a home in the bosses, went around get a lot of discretion about how they worked and mountain living called into the alliances and being called into losses at the time and they actually know they can do the job. and they're feeling less inclined. i'm sorry, the, the, the kind of have less of that discretion. and that makes me happy. losing control. you say, chris, there are no, there are studies into the, into it or how wide spread this practice has become. but the fact that it started
7:56 pm
on social media, i suppose, means that at least we consume, as far as the demographics are concerned. this is involving younger as opposed to more senior experienced workers. is it, would that be a correct assumption? do you think we're finding these designing those popping up on certain agentless like and that does reflect the demographic and those younger. what is those young workers that repose, unless they're the ones who course, who have less committed to work places because the style of their careers and of course they don't have more just and they don't have founders. so they feel more able, if you'd like to be able to do that asylum withdrawal and many of them, of course, younger workers, a not organized through trade union. so in many ways they're not able. ready to say that collective action is didn't asked. so how should employ a deal with choir quitting? i mean, the obvious answer should be pay them all. well, the employees need to take a step back and say, look,
7:57 pm
work is closing in this discretionary hopes that businesses are more efficiently. and if workers are quietly quitting, they're losing that extra as an extra wart. and so they're going to take a step back and say, okay, well we'll happen next. it's likely that these employees leave in the future. dissatisfied employers tend to leave organizations that will lead to more labor shortages that be less efficient in their organization. so things longer and smoothly. the lesson, i think, as you rightly say, is that they've got to train employees. well, that means not expected to work long hours evenings to extra tasks, and it means paying them decent wages, or paying them fairly, wor, employee. why employees think is a fair wage for that? what we're doing in the context for wrist is, is they're all a machine which is and because funds are not recruiting, as many people as that,
7:58 pm
like there's more of the existing employees as a law of kind of compounding factors. employers can just take a step back and say, we need to keep employees that they've got treatment. so what about the issue of quiet firing? why would a boss resort to doing that? or is it as a direct response to quite quitting? just like quiet quitting in some way quite a firing has been around for a long time. employers advantages, if they were happy with individual workers would marginalized. and again, it's, it's, it's, it's a difficult situation for both employees. and the client is one of the managers with nobody wants the consultation workers, workers that don't do what we're doing, but it's really money just taking a step back and saying, why is it that these employees are not doing what we want to do? why is it that they feel like so it won't sense quite firing, looks like the obvious response to quote and quitting. what neither party really
7:59 pm
benefits chris, it's been really good to tokyo county, the cost, but effectively for being with us. and that's all show for this week. if you'd like to comment on anything that you've seen, you can tweak me on that. a finnegan on twitter use the hash tag a j c t c. if you term, or you could drop us a line counting the cost of al jazeera dot net is our address, as always, has plenty more few online at al jazeera dot com slash ctc. that takes you straight to a page a day. you'll find the individual reports links, even in time episodes for you to catch up. but that isn't for this edition of counting the cost. i'm adrian finnegan from the whole team here in doha. thanks for being with us. the news on al jazeera is next. ah, i am very delighted to speak to the all african would they are the continents brightest legal students, putting our minds against the best means in africa would really be interesting to see how we miss out gathered together for a tournament unlike any other. i mean,
