some of the brains are actually shrinking inside the skull gets taken in the brain still small. the pain is indescribable it's feels like a really really bad chemical burn but it goes through your skin in your muscles all the way down to the bone. there is no relief. we're not to sure this is just a. lot of me a putin says he hopes for a formal meeting with donald trump after washington canceled one on one talks at the g. twenty summit in argentina. more than one hundred people were injured in paris during a third week of protests over soaring fuel prices. and american

donald trump reacting to his own government's report released friday the report warns climate change could cost the u.s. economy hundreds of billions of dollars and kill thousands of people before the end of the century i've seed it i've read some of it it's fine present all trumped any equivocal about climate change that won't be in evidence on monday at the u.n. framework convention on climate change conference call twenty four joining me now by skype from seoul in south korea is nobel laureate emeritus professor reich one chong former principal advisor on climate change to the u.n. secretary general in south korea climate change and data he's also on the global energy prize international award committee established by vladimir putin thanks for coming on the program ambassador the u.s. president of trump said to the washington post when you were talking about the atmosphere oceans a very small do you understand the kind of work you have done for the u.n. secretary and the paused well i think you know many people have views but.

a minute if the climate change is real in the heavy and. just ahead a report from i.p.c.c. intergovernmental panel on climate change at last month's the climate change is getting worse and we don't have to go to the report actually we felt it in or around the world last summer at the effect the very interestingly the number one country suffering from the damage from colombia change especially workload related that insta was united states suffering from hurricanes and it is also china and japan us all quoting most the from the climate change impact already and the there's not only flooding of homework if you look at this the father or so why the fire here california suffering terribly already so these kind of a climate impact is only the fair thought on the war so i don't think we have a dispute over the i don't think it is an issue of science but it's an issue of politics and some people wants to see the downside of climate change and some

people wants to sit up in the positive side of the because many people believe that climate action is going to damage the economy but there are some other people who are looking into the possibility of a climate in pick who in fact can all put on the quote can be for economic innovations and a new market and even economic growth and the employment is easy with the drum administrational v.z. now dismissing a report of federal agencies with three hundred leading environmental scientists climate scientists contributing to it is it up to brics countries to take the lead yeah are many countries including especially if you look at the chinese roar of china in our lead there are less money you're going to get and or. ovations are also very personally coming from china. and we had the day of the war believe there were lawyers. the city for your energy and his northern china india is

also a katrina and a brush it is also one of the leaders of new york energy. or so the other countries are follow this more than us this is not. simply because of perceived them or the from climate impacts but he's because of the economy case the renewable energy is making because new year energy is already approaching the prosperity we have for so if your and them know what they are even getting into the police mature stage where there are either parity is even comparable or you could also if you're so in many parts of the word these are your energy is already appearing as a very serious alternative for renewable fuel and they are getting a new body not electricity at a cheaper price so at least because of the economy case not because only from the climate or protections case steak subsidy is heavily involved now in these new

projects real cames in as i'm just explained to me h b d c which is the european union i understand a grant of maybe i don't know up to half a billion euros the asian super grid project we don't really hear much about these the initiatives here in britain what are they what is h.b.c. in short some people call it super good either. because it is sending a letter to a city across thousands of kilometers away by cars or several power who has a way to source or something or miserable some years ago because of the transmission loss where you send electricity you lose electricity so you're because of this kind of losses it was not a measure of a mouse sense to the camera to. record. or to chicken out of the camera that we can send the electricity thousands of hours of we there are many many mines in a medium or in that disappear first mission. most of us so now we have

a. tool for our men which means that we can you tell us many desert areas and the more areas around who are like a soccer theirs or or who be dancer or even generation the planes and plumbed into a power house and they can transmit your energy across the war so this new committee which is called the super can either can play a very interesting role or in stimulate the in the transition from a conventional force of fuel economy because a low carbon economy so this is why even some businesses a fifth of the vote is infected the first company in the war there has been promoting your support without you know aids or some of the bunker of japan and the chamomile so to so has been promoting the idea of asia supposedly the link any moment nia to china japan and korea but i am personally now proposing another

idea of linking china center asia and europe sewall supra with that which means that i named it as a secret the super leader which means that the central asian countries a and that's the or this countries can become the into any power house or you know energy and then they can ascend large issues huge ball you go a size of that pacific to china japan korea and europe so a history of your very interesting game changer and the paradigm shift over there or i mean just to be clear this is so revolutionary one could foresee solar panel in the desert and the whole of the world's energy needs would be from renewables yes right so for the reason that there's a tech the name of the project was theirs or the tech which was the from saddam that idea was didn't make the make much progress hoffa only reason was because the pick in order to cry. our long distance service mission but recently didn't last

too serious now we have solved the pecking order problem and its mission losses this is why now many people are looking into a new opportunity opened by the us actually the security of said that you know this if long distances so it's a matter are just going to shore economy sure but it's a matter of political issue and you can see in sahara and think there's a political issues. here that the is in question but that's why i'm proposing to see it through the super good either india or very interesting viable and the politically feasible option for countries in europe and far east for you know energy transition zero new britain forty thousand people may die this year because of particulate pollution all we hear in britain is that china's the polluting country beijing and shanghai are terribly polluted cities and that britain is in

the lead they're all in this and britain certainly hasn't publicly come out even from the melbourne road and who they are so all of the many people are or pointing the fingers for the air pollution in china but your step to the north of their chinese government has been ticking were so very decisive actions he did simply because of the huge scale of their on the same issue but very interestingly the trends of chinese air pollution is a showing of them at the moment people should look at the bright side the cymbeline because of china governments of very much aware about the issue and they are taking a very decisive actions on it so i am more impressed by it there but it is decisive action which cannot be found in any other country or on the work chinese are showing the most impressive example of a clean energy and of human energy leadership or how they were and that they are forty percent thought hold your head. the best money is coming from china so let

the seed not put it inside those who are the balloons or something the point in their pollution at the corner stage so the long run chinese really make a very impressive improvement and which may be fastest in the history of whom are more kind of development or just very briefly now even more fundamental than all of that is the ideas that you wrote about in your greed group concept we've heard a lot from the bank of england about brics if here your economic modeling software would have to be very different presumably to the bank of england right now we may see some of those arms here we certainly don't subsidize like your green growth concept in the us briefly at planet earth yeah i've been proposing the agreement of say the year which was inspired by professor paul you kings and down imperial college it and the idea is that we can shift our expats for our income to air pollution and the natural resource consumption then we can have

a double digit them which means that we get more of a mission and we can stimulate the economy and jobs this isn't the only reason that the teacher has been promoted by many scholars and the idea is to realise you stole the them they fear so when we have a proper shifting or reform of our structures then i think our argument is that we can have or we can achieve a lot of various miche to sion as well as job creation and economic growth so many governments that is they've just creature needs are number one priority and i think. actually form corporate tax reform i think we can do it professor reich one john thank you well u.k. prime minister's questions this week wasn't so much about saving the planet from catastrophe with ready solutions as impending failure of tourism has defacto minority government and the brics it voted following a t.v. debate between jeremy called in the prime minister but a shadow hung over parliament in britain. death a friend of going underground the

world war two veteran harry leslie smith the whole house wish to pass our condolences as well to the family and friends of harry leslie smith given the late veteran's damnation of to raise amaze policies the favorite to be britain's next prime minister was perhaps predictably less muted i also misspeak i want to pay tribute to my friend harry leslie smith. harry passed away early this morning in canada harry also served in the war he was an irrepressible campaigner for the rights of refugees for the welfare state and run national health service he was passionate about the principle of health care for all as a human right we thank you harry for his life and his work will be paying our own tribute by repeating going underground's interviews with the tireless and in your liberalism campaign in a future edition of the show here is the world war two veteran on seventy years since ve day the government seem to feel that austerity is the only way to.

resurrect a good standard of living and it certainly isn't because it's just making more and more poor people. it's. frightening and. i. i don't what they and quite frankly i am not a politician. i am history and in my book tried to describe to people what it was like and how it could be again let me. go to brother against it after the break as the e.u. contemplates yet more economic war with moscow we talk to russia's presidential commission and russia's trade on the voice of the u.k. about british business in the largest country on earth that's all coming up in part two of going on the ground.

we should start again to discuss where read can call quoted chancellor merkel runs we have a lot of. between germany and europe and russia. to destroy the bridge to see it's quite easy and very fast. to reprove the whole lot of. welcome back u.k. back ukrainian president petro poroshenko doesn't only want martial law he's today

urging nato nations like britain to send warships to the sea of as of to provide security against russia but here in london the talk at this week's russian british business forum in the queen elizabeth the second center media partnered by all the tea has been forging closer ties between russia. and the u.k. we spoke the russian trade on voice to britain boris abramov who with more than twenty years experience in shaping russian u.k. going to a corporation advocates for a new era of trade in the face of to raise him a sanctions trade on the boy i suppose your message here is that we shouldn't always believe what we're reading in the newspapers of the things aren't as bad which we in london the most go as you wait think for the media yes actually we said paradox the contrast between the political climate and the real development of trade relations between our two countries in the first nine months of this year we saw an almost twenty nine but some groove in comparison with the same period last

year and we expect that by the end of the year we will exceed below fourteen billion us dollars in trade to know or between our two countries but we see that the reason for this is that actually the main obstacle for the business development is uncertainty what we see in the british situation but in our little release everything is absolutely clear. called just iraq in by little political relations but these sanctions regime or all the declarations made by the political leaders the set the rules they said the limits but if you don't exceed the limits everything is free and everything is available for

businesses in both countries because it would be at the russia business u.k. business forum you said that the u.k. is one of russia's main trade partners i thought it was all brics that with the russian federation. no. britain is a very large market market for their russian exports. of course the majority of the line portion of russian export which it goes to britain is kabul's. still largely dependent you know by little trade relations on oil and gas but also we see the increase of. the resource. and energetic export from russia these means that there are areas of common interests we. can

drive our will be a little trade does break he said that it creates uncertainty is that a problem when being trade on void not very much because now russia is out of e.u. . britain will. exit eells we'll be part of. the britain can do any negotiations as we know from the west minister context if it raises. years saw we think this it will create an opportunity for both countries britain we will have to search for new markets. russia is a free markets that britain can not ignore but what relations do you have as a trade ovoid with the trade department here i mean this is jury mind you of the context

when the head of the british army doesn't think the head of the british army is saying russia poses a greater threat to the safety of british subjects than i says they have and you have a relationship with the trade to profiteer this is they have the burdocks or all of their total data reality yes i think they have the their if you cute to believe dialogue with russia is more practical for example it was a couple of years ago because britain after the break as it will have to form new relations with or all comers of the war including russia. these means that the dialogue should be continued and even with russia they mean. he. will look bored of the british the ministry to promote bilateral trade but as an envoy you have to be very aware that sanctions

new sanctions come up every other day frightening investment in bilateral trade yes . political climate is all of this is. very disappointing but. the business relations they are talking about very create themes about good suppose services about payments. these dialogues between business. the contras is not politicized and you see trading increasing with britain and the european union at the same to you. show with the whole world so do you see kind of irony that a british business trying to invest in say a russian chinese corporate corporation business somehow sanctions going to affect british business through that way and it's bad for british business and the

sanctions are very clear if you see at this fear as we install here. if you walk in the digital economy reveal business medicine education everything is. not only a lot but it is supported by a british government and the russian trade over thank you thank you very much well of russia's trade on voice of britain think sanctions don't have to be a deal breaker even after theresa may backs more economic warfare that the e.u. council this month what about russia's characterization as a math state that's what i asked russian presidential commission a teacher of at this week's london conference presidential commission that russia in this country in the media is characterized as being a mafia state how can

a small business written about you with a new doing business in the twenty years ago when they first came to london and i was a businessman and i made first my joint venture with my british partners but look what happened since then all the british big companies brands in the russian they all invested during or since ninety s to russia russian people i hear everywhere i mean that they educate their children here they come with investment and restate they did live here so and now again twenty years bust now where you get the much at the macro level do you think if the i.m.f. was still running russia or there'd been. in the press. to some extent yes but what happens is m.f. is still an english don't you think that we don't need their credit because we are quite wealthy we don't have any debt anymore to anybody in the world but the

economical policies high interest rate hard financial policies the world changed from that i mean he wanted to easing is the main word in the canonical policies of britain united states you are china or japan but russia is still very hard on the financial policy and they love it in the international monetary fund in the world bank they love it but usually a good usually when they ever have that is what i'm giving it head skeletor of the suspicion because we are offering another economical policies to russia q.e. for russia but if you're a small to medium sized enterprises here in britain you're going to be thinking not just about your use of chemical weapons to kill people here you're going to be thinking about you have to know people in russia or in government these big monopolies they connected to government say that actually there is this free

trade free business negotiation environ of course small businesses are more influenced russia is not very developed in so called economy of. small things nails hammers furniture. wood processing plastic processing all these things which small and medium businesses the g twenty is going are surprised that the british government is not fostering closer ties with russia in a push brics future. i think british government is some kind of an in the narrow corridor they made by themself and their politics and they don't. think about in an economical way about business opportunities. look at years saying this guy is really a business i mean he's protecting business anyway so business is important

and when britain is ignoring possibility even more putting more problems to british businesses for the future because of the political reasons i think it's not it very waits for the british government would say that's because its moral stand on the world stage really really important there even publicly endorse the chinese built in a road initiative it didn't go out publicly even to say that the british government way i mean they ignore it what but it's a big way and then went through i mean you can be in good relations with china on bad relations with china but you can't ignore what and then they're doing and this expansion. expection with this. growth initiative and it's not bad and we see that chain is bringing more working places. to those countries who are now mostly exporting their people and immigrants to

europe. if they build more working places they're at their homes it is the real way to solve the problem of immigration now to europe so what does britain risk if it continues to politicize the business and i mentioned economically it's a big risk because if you think only about some. it's good to have their principles but you know principles first of all they have to be proven but if you don't consider the economical. issues if you don't consider them how your people will work and when they will work and where they will receive their celebes in the future the principle will not work but do you think given that that's the threat millions will things will improve their bound to improve relations i am what

i am and i am differently. saying that there is no way of confrontation and they would not think more their financial and economical issues is one thing but the other thing is that there is no way politically for that because the world is so small. the world is. from one side is global we all live in the same globe and it's so small and so it can be ruined in one go and in that sense we have to also think mentally and worldwide principles it has to be a steady growth because the growth of democracy comes after the growth of the middle class of the strength of the middle class middle class and it actually is not so strong at the moment there is our goal to make it good or to. make a new dawn i mean russia not will based but based on private initiative competition

and small and medium not only small but maybe big and but very competitive businesses presidential commission thank you russian presidential commission of aristide of speaking to me there on the fringes of this week's russian british business forum and that's it for the show will be back on monday to investigate a factor u.k. backed alleged chemical attack on syria and this week the brave hearted succession star brian cox patron of and the russian backed russian film week until then people judged by social media will see on monday thirty four years to the day of india's bhopal disaster which killed or injured more than six hundred thousand activist group for yes men would later falsely claim the dow chemical company edge mitchard responsibility on the u.k. statement dated b.b.c. .
