we will warm in the sex of climate change. but if indeed there we have it with discussions and conversations about climate change and not taken sufficient practical action. to minimize the impact of such disasters consciously dominate thinking about practical action from what i heard herrick in my area claimed more than two hundred percent of your in g.d.p. almost overnight when you lose so much so quickly where do you even start trying to . it's a monumental task everybody's lives life has been impacted economy has been dramatically impacted to twenty six percent of g.d.p. as a quite right indicated it has reversed all of the gains we've made a generation. so the task really is to seek to rebuild the lives of the people but to go put unity two to create the world's first climate resilient nation and ensure that what we can do for self by ourselves to mitigate against such of

ferrous as. a matter of collisions and. does so we're going to be pushing i know that you've got a bachelor's degree in psychology and i assumed that kind of experience with come in handy especially given how traumatized and anxious i suppose your people are. from what i've seen them in a concern they're resilient but i know that sustaining resilience over a long period of time especially when one hundred percent of your people are affected is very difficult have you given any thought on a personal level what kind of leadership there they would be expecting from you well little time as a lot as a country as a citizenry so we have to work very quickly in a number of areas and provide shelter for for citizens and sure enough the most vulnerable are provided with adequate means of food and then all of basic supplies . can tickle the family so what is it going to do. is to ensure people's lives get

back to normal as quickly as possible but those who also be hampered by access to resources the country hasn't been any significant revenue says the hurricane but all costs of responding to the relief and recovery is great every single day it's important to you and i think that's the advice many psychologists would care for in the situation of trauma you just have to keep busy and then you know attending to your daily life and daily activities bread. it's also very hard for me to believe that. at least for a second you are not paralyzed by fear of that ferocious force return to have you look that fear in the eye is the reality that you have to live with. but we have no control over the patterns what we succumb to states of the developed countries as well as minimizing your emissions gas emissions so that we can get the oceans to be

a bit cooler a lot warmer as it is known and get on well but that is a very monumental tell task i mean that that would take decades if not more to change that we have to start somewhere and i think i think it is not only for us as leaders going to pars and negotiate an agreement signed off and post into our selves into the world that we have reached an agreement in paris but we can see the operationalization of disagreement and what you see into the international community us what other developments did the time we don't know is not at all what i mean the entire care bill could have been wiped away by these two category five hurricanes and it is unprecedented you know history so i believe that if there is a serious commitment to the science behind climate change which the majority of the leaders except with the united states president was agreed a climate change is real it must be seen by the practical sense and what you see into the as a comedy you have an obligation you have a responsibility because we did not start the war it was been visited upon us let

me ask you a few questions on dominic because you've already said that you want to build on many rebel dominica into the world first climate change resilient community what exactly do you mean by that and what would that take ensuring that we continue to put together violet and you indicated in open points that what we have been friends of the environment long before climate is became fashionable to. more than sixty percent of countries protect marriage forest by law or marine we have several men. reserves in a country three of them. would be promoted eco terrorism so all our development has been the wrong environment what is it going to do is to build more resilient infrastructure. to ensure that or construction the world homes or businesses or properties can withstand a category five hurricane i think you i'm sorry frontiers x. and you cannot do that without the help of the international community resources

because just for housing alone we're going to need about two hundred fifty million u.s. dollars to build in excess of five thousand homes for citizens so to this very i think interesting idea of turning your extreme vulnerability into your asset you know building the first rail of life lab for studying the effects of global warming have you heard any practical response there has been some there's been some we just came from. a donors conference in the united nations in the uk. for the caribbean two billion dollars pledged i want to ensure that those pledges can materialize in a quick time because there's one issue of making fun of committing funds to us. there's a second and more fundamental point of access in those funds because the put it is a very protracted process that takes years the next hurricane season is about six

months away a little time without oversight it is most of our time has passed so it passed by in respect to period of lower ourselves to be more resilient to put in mitigation systems in place so what you're saying with a life and property is that the international community supports here in principle in of words in assurances but not exactly in the not material not terms not to the extent this is empathy the sympathy this concern this is a reality that we face in. but we would like to see a greater efforts underpass. the international community especially those of us who are as follows or support for climate change and for the effects of climate change and for the need for us to take action as global leaders to protect islands ago as we have lowered the road to all of the bigger countries if many states and many provinces. and the extent of the of the economies now domenica has had some

experience in diversifying our reinventing its economy and an ex-president you diversified into tourism but both of these income generating industries are highly weather and climate sensitive other any sectors that would allow you to develop your economy on your own and to cray's that reliance on on the natural habitat what you followed was in regards to even have available to become excess a program i've heard about elizabeth investment program this has been the only source of revenue for the country and i can say without any fear contradiction in the bill for that program would be able to provide for our citizens currently this is what we will use into clearly rules and streets this is what we've been using to buy food supplies for citizens this is what we use and to people what that we have been using this funds to pay our salaries we have peter sellers to

a public servants on time from september to know it's very well senator for your economy from what i know it generally is around thirty thirty five percent of your economy but you also know that there is an increasing pressure from the united states from the european union from the o.e.c.d. both on the. banking privacy laws on the whole industry of offshore financing we also stain a bill is the reliance on that particular into which part of the national security apparatus we will do everything we have to do to protect security to the world we are law abiding citizens so whatever concerns that may have is a model student not because well because as a multiple of programs is this misinformation and says to me about the concerns i think the industry as a whole is in pretty hot water is and there are calls to simply get rid of it the source programs in europe also is not only terrible in this was purely in europe.

they have the same source markets it's all of us it's to see the dialogue on this issue but i believe that we have a very transparent program that is open to scrutiny but the sustainability of it is you know they'll always be demand obviously there be fluctuations in the demand but the dual is a very unstable world and there are many. many many many citizens of different possible who are below press owners of the other we're looking to provide a civil opportunity for the families and for themselves and i think the south and they're also affording you're the opportunity to sustain your economist rationally because you know you're so hard pressed when it comes to our culture or tourism but i guess what my question is rather you believe that a country like yours should be given perhaps some preferential treatment in that regard because from what i understand correct me if i'm wrong. exit is extremely

difficult for you to depend on the our environment for the reasons that are beyond your control and it is a extremely difficult or increasingly difficult for you to rely on that internet internationalized sector because of the pressure from certain economists or it is almost like you're called that when you know this is the reality also. small states because what challenges. do you like to dominate to any caribou country or any small only one up instead of the same sentiments of course we all like to have. a feel for it unity. to provide for citizens and sometimes we feel that we have been a challenge though we've been pushed back we're not given the fear here in those who have the authority to make decisions for the rest of us and it was we don't we're not asking for hundred of all we're asking for is a feel for it unity to provide for people to reduce poverty to create employment and to diversify the economy and small you various things that we are doing for

sales or those are doing it but the very same people have an issue we've we've we do it it's not as they say my is right you know there's a ready to do will and we just have to live with it and so by wood in the circumstances but all people are resilient you know we do with what we have what we have done in the caribbean. is nothing short of a miracle or prime minister we have to take a very short break now but back in just a few moments stay tuned. that's

happened. it's going to people. here's what people have been saying about rejected in that. the senate is full on. the only show i go out of my way to you know it's still really packed a punch oh yeah it is the john oliver of marty and mary is just the same we are verily better than nothing. i see people you never heard of love redacted tonight the president of the world bank very. seriously he sent us an e-mail.

welcome back to one's apartment it was a health care of prime minister of the many we're going back to the issue of for hurricane irene the thing that was any particular unusual about it is how it got so powerful so quickly it went from category one into a category five storm in less than twenty four hours and many scientists that attributed that supercharging a fact to the increase of just one degree celsius that was recorded in your region over the past century this region if the current forecast correct is expected to add another two or three degrees centigrade by the end of the century do we have an understanding at this point of how bad it can actually be i think. but we can only do so with the help of its national community because of course a beautiful structure but you need to twist on such disasters i mean there's engineering for. the ford is the issue of the resources to have two strings put in place but we just built a bridge for example some real difference was awarded on resources what was said to

suit the call trios it was no time was we want to let you sure you because of technology that can be employed that can withstand so it's disasters coming out of trouble cost america and the bridge under which it was so i just returned from a. big climate change conference in germany which decided to postpone the display discussion on the biting details of the paris clime deal as well as the very pressing of climate financing until next year and i think it's clear that the global north and the global south have a sour different understanding of urgency bell how does it make you fear is a bit is a bit depressing and i have said so to our friends it's a loss of identity that if we do not operationalize the paris agreement we run the risk of. being zero attendance at future cup it. is very

simple to offer official is the person all we know of the political challenges is countries have we know the developing world need to do been called to create employment and to generate energy for the citizens so we're not on mindful of the need for them to do what they have to do always say it is. hell force me to get against your actions and press for president clinton put it rightly always append. a simple signature to transfer the files there will be robust access. so that we can know speak a boat. helping countries build resilience helping countries bill capacities helping countries be to get it is again some disasters you mentioned the issue of attendance and i don't think the issue here that is an issue at all because in fact the conference in germany was the largest multinational event that country ever held twenty five thousand delegates attending and imagine the amount of resources

you need to unify them in show them around feed them all that to allow them to hear your urgent and others arjen pleas for help and then decide just to put it away do you think it's still worthwhile to hold conferences like that like that one not only our nation but there are actually more than a dozen nations nowadays and all in the caribbean but also in the pacific who are suffering do you think that money perhaps would have been better is found instead of holding that conference in germany just giving it to those who are most affected if you are irrational you think and you would say well there's a band of this let us not attend this mittens and the more it makes no sense it's cause my church x. amount of money to go to germany makes no sense to go to poland so far but the reality is we can be rational with this very important matter this is a boat life or death for citizens is the most survival for countries we must not give up on hope we mustn't give up on the fight the because if you google the fight

there's not a little hope was all we have to keep the developed will keep the fire to the hands go to the house the fire and ensure that the actions that they committed to take an oath will be perry's agreement so we'll give up. if you ask me though we'll be attending the conference in paul in the next it goes live yes they will because it is too important for the survival of the citizens the and for the koreans were going to paris in december the president of france as it's called been. decided ever summit to see whoa hoping to see hope. we can start operationalize incident us or so while it was. here we can do so but i think it's important for us to be a good guy again a little bit brutal i'm sorry for jumping in often as i did i wonder if you ever had an impression that industrialized nations and by that i also mean russia

because it's a big and a strong nation while sharing your concerns in principle kind of decided to lead the nature or in this case climate change run its course and if that means that a couple of small island nations have to follow in the footsteps of their branches so be it have you ever had that impression. yes sometimes i do there is not the generalised to address the issues but as i said to you since your listeners you know we can't give up on this it is too it is too crucial for us to give it. but my hope and prayer is that we will leaders those who have the authority to make a real difference because be the champions for small states they can be a champion as they have indicated. and we believe that to be the case that the general about it that the amount of cells they can live in taken some practical

action and help in consequence you compared climate change to war and i think that's actually a very interesting comparison as a former full worker is fun and because i think there is like in major wars there is a disconnect between your action and the consequences that. followed you do the action but the consequences the suffering percent by somebody else. do you have any idea what could raise that potential gap do you think the countries that have the resources will ever committed them to your pride unless they feel the pinch themselves. and i think they're feeling the pinch but not very good and not to the extent of it and i've said two or friends of the former. ninety nine point nine percent of the drugs which pass through our islands from south america so often such an american go to europe or north america when four countries are unable to move to provide for themselves was going to happen if all

of his jobs are going passive who is going to go through who will have the means of providing the kind of security that we can provide in the kind of interception that we've been provided to help protect the children and the youth of north america of america and europe so what you're saying is that you need to start acting irresponsibly for them to actually starving and also i believe sometimes i have said so to them that when you a good student you get punished for being a good student that's the countries which receive all of the attention of the billions of countries that have created problems in themselves you know a war not respecting the rule of law international of law who are not respecting the rights of the citizens they get all of the billions but we in the caribbean who are who respect the environment who protect the environment who respect the rule of law have been punished for it how much is how much was the cost of a draw and one draw on. because it so across the world will.

probably and. i will say a local she doesn't have a right to responsibility to protect its citizens and what have we determined but what we see is actions that you had taken in your countries are impacting on all countries in the caribbean negatively can i ask you one more question specifically about climate finance because it is a very pressing subject it's also about choosing your priorities. i've seen some estimates that about one fifth of the funds and development aid currently goes into the adoption to climate change there as goes into decreasing gas greenhouse gas emissions but as you pointed out even germany of a country that in a prize itself on being at the forefront of fighting climate change is pretty lax when it comes to keeping their obligations do you think that is a fair distribution and do you think perhaps that so much focus on on the

greenhouse gas emissions maybe deflecting attention from the consequences from what actually can be done at this point regardless of whether we think climate change is man made or not we are difficult to with the developed world uses more resources. to more renewables in the country to reduce on the use of coal and first as you will to generate energy well it's going to this issue other petition is something that mr visited because he is some instances you can adopt. you know for example worse or so moves schools and health clinics so level fifty plus years old so you can make them smile and we can adapt them they have to be demolished and rebuilt. take into consideration the present the realities of the climatic and collisions and he chooses so what we say is that whatever you want to spend on a country's five of us what ricin is this that you have committed to us while make

it available now and to. allow us to have access to it now because. time has passed on us in terms of the opportunity which you have this war window which you have. to put in systems to mitigate against a disaster and to build good to resilience no country and the verifiable question if i may according to world bank forecasts the number of severe hurricanes is expected to increase by forty percent and double temperatures rise by two degrees. if they rise by forty degrees and i've fallen. for the question in advance but i think it's part of a good governance to plan for every eventuality if worse comes to worse the thing any thought should be given to relocating nations like yours below was a reality we would look at we believe that we can survive the realities of two of

the dramatic conditions. but you can build resilience you is a technology they really were energy assistance you were one who through pursuing solo which opposed to syrian we have had hydrofoil us for the five years provided energy for us so this is a technology this is the meaning of well this is there is a political will from us this fall and states with this one is to stoop to pursue that particular agenda to pursue their particular vision i would very clearly articulated its vision to become a new world first climate is a limitation and what we send to our friends in the caribbean is let the caribbean become the first region climate resilient region in the world where we have a challenge is not having the resources there was those if we had the resources there was else we would not be having this interview if you are talking to will leaders we would be building infrastructure building homes and and ensuring that

our culture is more resilient on tourism plans a more resilient and i went on is more resilient so so we there's no talk about look dumb move into a movement to where we are so very independent states where can we go to you know and that is the luxury which the developed world has and i think to it is it would be an insensitive question for anybody to ask us about relocating and i'm not talking about you you constantly need to realistically i think that would be a perhaps a good way to stimulate action because there is a rise in a family around the world people are very similar immigration white creation perhaps that could be an incentive for people to open up their pockets and finally i mean accommodate here for a while you have a situation and you know it's a twin island nation is it is one country. and the government has had to relocate the entire population want to go by we'll six hundred people. it is not

that the going to go doesn't have the vision or the plan to to build bridges resilience in this country the government again but it is over the fact that it does not the results so do political will is that we have a plan we have a vision. we are seized of what we need to do what we do know how is this is so important so very important element of the money and. it is sitting in the developed world. and while it is a is a simple bank transfer. the prime minister best of luck out in facilitating that transfer and perhaps many others unfortunately we have to leave it there and we really appreciate your time and our viewers please share your comments on our twitter facebook and you tube pages and i hope to see you again same place same time here once a part. of. our.

it's. welcome to the wonderful world of blood donation i come here every three weeks to get my transfusion to be specific i receive in. my body gets and somebody that i cannot produce. around the world giving blood is seen as a symbol of generosity and does this because it helps people is just one of the side effects is that it. applies more. to put money on your

car immediately you don't have all plasma based drugs today come from private companies and are produced from paid plans from a small company in rome or from. one of the risks of paid donation. then is proof that the frequency of pathology is much higher paid in it. if i was. over two years old he was. using the drug and who runs the blood business. somebody bankers are jumping off buildings and jumping off the world. so max fisher magic you can fish from the. dead bait get

a good look at the bait right here and you can go fish bankers. put themselves on the line they did it so. the reject. so when you want to be president and you. want to. have to go on to be press this is what the full story of the morning can't be good. i'm interested always in the water out. there should. the headlines or the international reporters without borders try to pull up critical of controversial syrian rescue groups the white helmets something by the organizers as an attack on free speech very disappointing to see who is the so

szish skillful with the kind of censorship. a former general who forced in during the war you're going to.
