politically, but geo strategically, is the united states and it is very, very clear now in the race to build green technologies, as well as chips and artificial intelligence and all that, but with green technologies, the us doesn't want china to get a head start. it will stop putting pressure on its allies, let's take australia, which has a lot of critical materials, not to sell to china. and i said to andrew forrest what are you going to do about that? he said, well, look, we are urging governments to put down what he called their geostrategic weapons for the good of the planet. if you're going to look to get a political and economic advantage we all lose in the end. now, obviously, that is quite a lofty message to be giving, or whether governments actually listen to him in terms of that is a different question.— of that is a different question. of that is a different cuestion. , ., ~ of that is a different cuestion. , ., question. nick marsh, thank you so much for— question. nick marsh, thank you so much for that _ question. nick marsh, thank you so much for that update. - so much for that update. meanwhile, airbnb is losing its foothold in new york city, with thousands of properties banned under new rules inhibiting short—term rentals. the

and how social media abuse towards him and his family "crossed a line." rugby world cup final referee wayne barnes speaks out. hello there and welcome along to the programme. what drama to start with in the champions league on wednesday — as manchester united's struggles in the competition were shown up again in copenhagen. united were two goals up, before marcus rashford was sent off — letting the danes back, eventually coming from behind to secure a famous victory. rasmus hojlund scored twice for united, and it looked as though it would be their night in denmark, but rashford's dangerous tackle saw him given a straight red after var intervened. united reduced to 10 men, and immediately their opponents capitalised. they were level 2—2 at half time. despite being a man down, bruno fernandes scored a penalty, which looked like it

might be enough for them.
