south—east in the afternoon, and at many north and west areas will hold onto showers and continue to be heavy, winds strong and reaching gale force in exposed areas. 15-19 c. hello, this is bbc news. the headlines... the household energy supplier octopus energy has reached a deal to buy bulb, one of the companies which collapsed last year amid soaring wholesale gas and electricity prices. president biden condemns an attack on the husband of senior democrat nancy pelosi, saying there's too much vitriol in us politics. the head of the royal navy orders an investigation into allegations that female recruits have been sexually abused and harrassed on submarines. a severe tropical storm has killed at least 45 people in the philippines and left many more homeless. it's expected to reach the capital manila later today. the price of diesel at uk pumps has gone above £1.90 for the first time

in nearly three months. now on bbc news, tackling climate change. when i was 15, i wasjust discovering the joys of hip—hop and dreaming of playing cricket for england. at the same age, greta thunberg launched an international movement for skipping school. she is not a politician or a scientist, nor is she the first to campaign against climate change. at school, she was bullied for years before being diagnosed with asperger�*s syndrome. in 2018, this swedish schoolgirl found herself hailed as the unlikely voice of global youth. she has become the symbol of a generation which, as she puts it, is not being listened to by older people who won't suffer the consequences of not listening. whether you admire her or

despair of her, greta thunberg's influence has already been profound. and she is still a teenager. in 2015, the eu and nearly 200 countries signed the paris agreement, tending to limit the global temperature increase this century to 1.5 celsius. greta thunberg has pleaded, reasoned and raged in the face of world leaders to keep their promises. you raged in the face of world leaders to keep their promises.— raged in the face of world leaders to keep their promises. you all come to keep their promises. you all come to us young — to keep their promises. you all come to us young peeple — to keep their promises. you all come to us young people for— to keep their promises. you all come to us young people for hope, - to keep their promises. you all come to us young people for hope, how - to us young people for hope, how dare you! in to us young people for hope, how dare ou! ., , .,, dare you! in doing so, she has become a _ dare you! in doing so, she has become a modern _ dare you! in doing so, she has become a modern icon - dare you! in doing so, she has become a modern icon to - dare you! in doing so, she hasl become a modern icon to some dare you! in doing so, she has- become a modern icon to some and an alarmist pariah to others. she has graced magazine covers and is mobbed like a rock star, while politicians and celebrities align themselves with her to signify their green credentials and opponents regularly send herfamily credentials and opponents regularly send her family death threats. she has now created a group of essays

written by her and more than 100 experts by way of a toolkit for those concerned about climate change. at 19, greta thunberg is no longer the young schoolgirl bursting onto the world stage. how do she plan to get her message across? and will anybody still listen? and, as an adult, what practical solutions can she offer to back up her demands for the planet? i want to understand how she got here but also explore her plans for the future. both hers and ours. thank you so much for talking to the bbc. i have read your book, i mean, this is a major contribution to debates, both about the science and the politics of global warming. the science and the politics of globalwarming. it the science and the politics of global warming. it is notjust something that focuses on what the science is, it comes up with recommendations for how to go forward. what was your guiding principle when you chose the authors, when you constricted who which contribute? i authors, when you constricted who which contribute?—

meant as a kind of protest, but also about spreading information, because i had flyers that i handed out to people with the fact that i had collected. but the processed idea of it was more resonating with people. i want to talk about how you got into this, because i think most people don't know very much about your childhood. a lot of people won't know that you have depression for many years, nearly three years, you didn't say very much and people thought you were mute so you missed a lot of school. severely depressed, do you know what prompted all of that? it do you know what prompted all of that? ., , do you know what prompted all of that? . , ., , , , that? it was many different things, but i think i — that? it was many different things, but i think i was _ that? it was many different things, but i think i wasjust _ that? it was many different things, but i think i wasjust depressed - but i think i was just depressed about the state of the world in general. which, yeah, it feltjust meaningless. fix, general. which, yeah, it felt 'ust meaninglesafi meaningless. a lot of people listeninu meaningless. a lot of people listening to _ meaningless. a lot of people listening to you _ meaningless. a lot of people listening to you who - meaningless. a lot of people listening to you who maybe l meaningless. a lot of people - listening to you who maybe have had childhood mental health problems, depression, will be interested in what happened to help you recover. i

think the main thing was that i found something that i was passionate about. because today, it feels like so many people lack a sense of purpose and meaning in their life. we arejust sense of purpose and meaning in their life. we are just all going around in this hamster wheel trying to make money, get likes on social media and whatever, which doesn't make you happy. but i and many others found purpose in this fight for climate justice, others found purpose in this fight for climatejustice, because i others found purpose in this fight for climate justice, because i feel like i'm doing something which is meaningful. the like i'm doing something which is meaningful-— like i'm doing something which is meaningful. like i'm doing something which is meaninaful. ., , .,. ., meaningful. the book goes into a lot of detail about _ meaningful. the book goes into a lot of detail about solutions _ meaningful. the book goes into a lot of detail about solutions and - of detail about solutions and practical policies. i want to explore some of your views on some of these complex policy issues, where you do have to make choices and governments have to make choices. i and governments have to make choices. , , . ., ., choices. i pretty much never go into secific choices. i pretty much never go into specific things. _ choices. i pretty much never go into specific things, to _ choices. i pretty much never go into specific things, to talk _ choices. i pretty much never go into specific things, to talk about, - specific things, to talk about, because that distracts from the crisis itself.— because that distracts from the crisis itself. why do you not get into specific— crisis itself. why do you not get into specific things? _ crisis itself. why do you not get into specific things? because, l crisis itself. why do you not get. into specific things? because, as you have, as he will get onto, you have said you are an opponent of nuclear policy...

enough public pressure from the outside. and that is something that we create outside on the streets. it feels to me that the focus of your campaigning has subtly but significantly changed from an earlier emphasis on listen to the science, which you obviously still say. but do something else which is climate justice. say. but do something else which is climatejustice. what say. but do something else which is climate justice. what is climate justice? climate 'ustice. what is climate 'ustice? , ., , ., climate 'ustice. what is climate 'ustice? , ., ., climate 'ustice. what is climate 'ustice? , .,. . justice? the people who are affected toda are justice? the people who are affected today are the — justice? the people who are affected today are the ones _ justice? the people who are affected today are the ones who _ justice? the people who are affected today are the ones who have - justice? the people who are affected today are the ones who have done i justice? the people who are affected. today are the ones who have done the least to cause it, and therefore we have an obligation to act to minimise the damages which are being caused. climatejustice is everything, because in countries like mine in sweden, i can imagine the uk as well, people say, "you don't have to worry, you will be fine. we canjust don't have to worry, you will be fine. we can just turn off the air conditioning, turn on our sprinklers and we will be fine." and that might be true that some of us might initially be able to adapt somewhat to a rapidly warming world, but for

have to play on the same terms as everybody else, as is the current situation for most people. but in some ways, it is something which allows you to do things which others can't. for example, if you are really interested in something and if you... you can have a very intense focus on something, you can be really determined to fulfil something. be really determined to fulfil something-— be really determined to fulfil somethina. ~ ., ., ., something. without a moment those earl weeks something. without a moment those early weeks when _ something. without a moment those early weeks when you _ something. without a moment those early weeks when you realised i something. without a moment those early weeks when you realised that i early weeks when you realised that this was going to be big? when you were maybe texting your friends and saying, "something interesting in the global media, and in of this newspaper. did you think that you were starting to think there? i don't know, because in sweden, people rarely stop you in the streets. , ., ., ., ., streets. there is a word for that, isn't there? _ streets. there is a word for that, isn't there? it _ streets. there is a word for that, isn't there? it means _ streets. there is a word for that, isn't there? it means no - streets. there is a word for that, isn't there? it means no one i streets. there is a word for that, isn't there? it means no one is i isn't there? it means no one is worth more — isn't there? it means no one is worth more than _ isn't there? it means no one is worth more than others, i isn't there? it means no one is worth more than others, we i isn't there? it means no one is i worth more than others, we leave isn't there? it means no one is - worth more than others, we leave you alone. but when i started to go abroad, people started to recognise me. that was strange. do

you have used humour a lot on social media when you are told by world leaders. and you respond by trolling them back usually by changing your twitter profile. ijust think it is genuinely funny! ijust think it is genuinely funny! i mean, the most powerful people in the world feel intimidated by teenagers. that is funny. it says more about them than it does about me. do more about them than it does about me. y ., more about them than it does about me. .,, more about them than it does about me. ._ . me. do you actually en'oy inc the face of a rebelfi me. do you actually enjoy inc the face of a rebel movement? - me. do you actually enjoy inc the face of a rebel movement? it - me. do you actually enjoy inc the - face of a rebel movement? it sounds like it comes? it face of a rebel movement? it sounds like it comes?— like it comes? it was certainly not what i intended _ like it comes? it was certainly not what i intended to _ like it comes? it was certainly not what i intended to do. _ like it comes? it was certainly not what i intended to do. you - like it comes? it was certainly not what i intended to do. you took. like it comes? it was certainly not what i intended to do. you took a | what i intended to do. you took a vote on a — what i intended to do. you took a vote on a two-week— what i intended to do. you took a vote on a two-weekjourney - what i intended to do. you took a | vote on a two-weekjourney across vote on a two—weekjourney across the atlantic, just because you didn't want to fly to the un to use it i need to be there and i would do it i need to be there and i would do it by boat. there was a moment i saw in this documentary where you are recording voice memos and said, "i

don't want to have to do this, it is such a responsibility around the clock. i know what is at stake and it is such a responsibility." it sounded like you are taking the whole weight of a generation on your shoulders and taking it across the atlantic on a solar powered boat. and you were what? 16 at the time? yes, it is too much response to, both for me as an individual but also for young people in general. there are people of all ages who are stepping up, but it mostly falls on young people to do this, and it should not be that way. ijust wish sometimes that people would take up a bit more responsibility, because people always say to me that, "it is so hopeful when i see you guys and it gives me hope for the future." enough often i keep a straight face. but then sometimes i can snap and say, "if you think but then sometimes i can snap and say. "if you think that but then sometimes i can snap and say, "if you think that all the hope in the world rests on burned—out teenagers' shoulders, that is not
