10:30 am
performance overall was made up of the 3 big priorities that the leaders i had to act on and that they did the 1st or course, as you mentioned was people. and that was all about saving lives from cove 19 in a world where covered 19 is as we speak, killed at least $5000000.00 people in cost many trillions of dollars. and the promise there was to vaccinate 70 percent of the world's people by the end of next year. that's a credible commitment. even though the numbers and then we will address the added to fees as well. but let's stick to this one. they definitely make commitments. requests whether they and they made those commitments before, you know,
10:31 am
and the previous various interactions. but as things that now there's still no mutual recognition of vaccine. so let's say you're your own from russia. despite being fully vaccinated by the home a, let's see. i will not be my house status will not be recognize in your, in your country of canada and the same applies for you as well. so surely talk a great deal about that here with the people that they have, they actually deliver it. you're right in that russia is a real problem with only about one quarter of the people i'm fully a vaccinated for a number of reasons. i, including the exceptional of vaccine hesitancy within the russian federation of globally, amongst the 7000000000 people. i was encouraged by a, in the wrong community, was not only the a specific. i'm
10:32 am
a promise. i think another piece wrong if i but we did have a unilateral promises from some tea countries about how many donations and doses they would produce and deliver by the end of next year. and here the biggest one always from india, and we know it's got the production capacity. it promised 5000000000. now you put that against the 7000000000 people on the planet. and it's a major step forward. yeah. now and then the credit for that promised to be to cure it. there seems to be a lot of pee this evening, but for that to be realized that they have to deliver certain financial support. and me for this promise, this before the for a year ago, we heard them 2 years ago and made this promises still remain when they are
10:33 am
promised this. well, i 2 things on that come up a year ago. we had some countries to japan, for example, didn't have doses promise dollars to cover, but even a fall that got the dollars, there were no doses to buy anywhere. there was a global shortage. now we have a global sir plus an in the rich g 7 countries of the vaccines that everybody wants the 5 years in the journals and even know now being approved. so we have the supply, it's simply a way of getting them to other countries that need them and then going the last mile because there's a vaccine hesitancy, a very poor health infrastructure to deliver them in so many places,
10:34 am
afghanistan, 80, and so on. but by the end of next year, i think we can do it and hit the 70 percent target. now don't end up in making like a rather bile or let's say a logically motivated question, but i don't mean i don't mean it. but we know very well that many developed countries, including canada right away. who are the diagnosis of faxes you now you say that there is an over supply now, but if i'm not mistaken, canada has contract is 4 times as many of those as it passed. people while many countries in africa, vaccinate oakland, to administer a single shot to, to that people is this readiness to share really goes through from the bottom of the car, from the genuine care for that. people are simply from, you know, your own needs being fully satisfied and now you have to deal with the over supply
10:35 am
of those things. and of course if you don't need them, why, why can't you share them with, with those who need them? yeah, good question. canada, i like many countries of the, not the russian federation could not produce vaccines of its own. so it had to all buy them from other countries. and at the beginning, you didn't know which ones would actually work. so by the canadian government bought 4 times the city hoping that tom was one of them would work or to work and they'd get 50 percent of each of the deliveries. so on time, the big problem we now face is that come countries, whichever surplus are saying i know, we want to give a 3rd dose to our most vulnerable people. so we don't have any to a spare on the whole candidate is not on there yet. but we still have to make sure
10:36 am
that the delta plus variant doesn't spread from the united kingdom, which is being ravaged by it, into other countries. so like canada and the united states. so it's not a sure bad. but on the whole a, it is something we can do when brought her point behind all this is a, my group monitors the compliance of all g 20 members with their commitments they made at their last summit. the last one was in riyadh, saudi arabia, november 2020 by the big commitments. so we're on precisely this. and what we have found is that a year later on, even the rome summit countries had complied. an unprecedentedly high level,
10:37 am
85 percent. so finally, the g 20 summit are making the commitments that really count promises may promises count and i'm optimistic that because that great shock of co bid is still with us. i think we'll get high compliance with the wrong commitments on cobra 2. and i wonder if not on the outside. so they say very tragic situation. is that, wow, this whole pandemic clearly magnified some of the long existing inequality in the world. i think it also provided additional agency and energy for those who are on the shore and all the sort of the stick. and by that i mean that many of the african countries have been waiting and waiting on the developed world to deliver those promise vaccines. some of them are now developing
10:38 am
those vaccines on their own. we see more and more trade on the local level. people are finding, you know, that calling in very, very unusual places. so i wonder if, you know, if one of the silver linings of the current pandemic is that the disadvantaged are becoming less dependent on the privileged, at least when it comes to the level of nation states. i think that's great insight . and here we have to go back to one of the most successful at g 20 summit that was in st. petersburg in september 2013. we're the 1st time g. 20 leaders promise not a strong, sustainable, and balanced growth, but inclusive growth growth for everyone. but they were in many ways some just words until the coven epidemic pandemic made it very
10:39 am
real. so an early stage, we did see some countries donating vaccines. are russia to neighbors, china, to and finally of the united states in big volume as well. but now we're already seeing the rich countries of the g 20 actually provide practical support for domestic manufacturing in different countries in africa. and further work commitments were made at the rome summit. that's one of the reasons i'm optimistic because by the time we get to the end of next year, it will be just importing them from india. it will be making them out within self africa. and it can send it to it african neighbors as well. now that brings me back to the question i posed in the very beginning of our conversation, whether people,
10:40 am
planet disparity is just a nice combination, of course, whether one can realistically count on protecting the planet while also delivering all as people. not just the 65 or 64 percent that beside the 20 countries, but all of its people into prosperity while dealing with still rapidly mutating virus with bowling incomes are rising. bunch of deficits out all the other problems that seem to be mounted. mine, is it realistic? i understand that fraction of this moment, but do you think it's supported by data that could be done? ah, i'm optimistic about what rome can do if we turn to prosperity. for example, one of the brig breakthroughs was an agreement by the better off
10:41 am
countries of the g 20 to channel, to give their share of 2 thirds of a trillion dollars just created at the international monetary fund. that's about $350000000000.00. and give some of it to the poorest countries in the world, the poorest again, we go back to working for the bottom, one percent of the global community and not just the top one percent. and that the g 20 summit to we saw several countries step up and made that real a. canada was one of them. others on to. but um, china has also, even though it still says it's a developing country, head of the g $77.00 plus a china into is just said that it would channel some of it's new estie, ours,
10:42 am
they're called, but it's so real bunny to the poorest countries in the world isn't enough. uh huh. no. they have to do more on debt relief on before the poorest. but some signs they, i know it actually a will do more than if that summit had never taken place. and another one, if i could just and prosperity here. they finally introduced a revolutionary new tax regime. so the richest multinational companies in the world will finally have to start to pay taxes to the governments of the countries in which they make their money. and those are poor, high trees, as well as my rich ones dot are great, and we have to take a very short break right now, but it will be back to the discussion in just a few moments here. ah,
10:43 am
she just the british and american governments have often been accused of destroying lives in their own interests. while you see in this, these techniques is to stay devising methods to essentially destroy personnel to that individual. by scientific means. this is how one doctors, theories were allegedly used in psychological warfare against prisoners deemed a danger to the state. that was the foundation for the method of psychological interrogation, psychological torture, disseminated within the us intelligence community, and worldwide among allies for the next 30 years. then down the victim say they
10:44 am
still live with the consequences today. oh, maximizes financial survival guide. daisy let's learn about feel out. let's say i'm a through i can hear it from grief on face of the fight. 9 wall street broad, thank you for helping with enjoy that right. fill out slavery. ah, what's the point that john kristen, director of the plans here research group, recruitment before the break. we talked a lot about that people. we touched on the, on the 2nd p of prosperity. now let's talk about this 3rd key,
10:45 am
which is now i come from a country whose leadership i think is valid being a strong mistrust, a scientific expertise, especially when it comes to me change. i think no reason climate change but climate policy, i think that would be more precise than many people in moscow. see this latest energy crisis as a prime example of how expensive realistic could be? well, was asked to choose ideology, even a green ideology or so it analysis. i would like to ask you as a major research, do you think some of those of skepticism it's valid for when i look at i'm on the screen and is approach on into the
10:46 am
room some of the end of the glasgow summit on climate change. i don't see any ology. i see that he like me now understands that there's only one real existential threat to all living things on the planet. you know, and both of us grew up, but it was nuclear war. now it is a climate change. so what i would focus on is his recognition of that scientific reality. and we do have to remember that russia still has in many fields. so the best scientists in the world. and when it comes to any of the countries down that something is happening, it's not, as i said about climate change, but rather what to do about it. what is the best, the most efficient, the most um, you know, efficient they,
10:47 am
and they said way of dealing with the civically, whether it's with transition to the renewables is advisable or even safe at this point of time that i bring it back to the current energy crisis, which was a in par, drawn by the, by the low wind generation in the u. k. that certain political decisions made in europe about gas and oil. do you think they call for amy, caution, or should be here? go full speed, a hack, into substituting fossil fuels with renewables as soon as possible. oh yes we should am. you're quite right tom, but now that mr. trump is gone, we have no climate deniers at the table. but some wonder about what mister ball scenario. brazil still believes in his heart and soul and whether he believes in it
10:48 am
enough to in countries that still depend on coal, south africa, whether we have to move into renewables on the fast and on our renewables where we get the power. i think what we have to do, and we're starting to see it, is go beyond the traditional on wind and on the solar. after all, are russia like it? it is a cold, dark country. but we also have some of the longest coastlines in the world. so that means not only offshore, a wind wave power titled power, totally predictable and many other forms. so a lot of renewables are to including nuclear power, which i think we have traditional energy source,
10:49 am
let's say. and some people in the western will not consider it as a, as a clean energy source. ah, nuclear. yes, germany and japan with their very distinctive history going all the way back to the 2nd world war. but here are the french are right, or the arithmetic says, we've got to keep the existing nuclear plants on, we have until they and reach the end of their a lifetime. we just can't afford to shut them off. well, you just said a moment ago that we shouldn't just exclusively focus on the solar. and the way i think people are they talk for a moment because if we can do the whole production chain from i rare materials, you know, producing accumulators to them. recycling everything that is land. it's a pretty energy intensive and dirty process at this point of time and many
10:50 am
developed countries preferred outsource that production on to the other part of the world. don't you think it's slightly hyper critical to that lady about saving the planet and so sort of outsource the dirtiest part of it on to your neighbors. i do, but one of the good things about the next generation of our renewables is almost all g. 20 countries, a sea coast, all can do geothermal power in the form of heat pumps, stored on hydro and many other things. so that's the next to renewables or revolution we need. but on the bigger point of us sending dirty industries abroad, that's clearly why it's an old problem. we need a single set of rules. and in north america, canada facial the problem. we have
10:51 am
a single national price on carbon or friends in the united states don't. so will the dirty industries move there and then pump their products into canada because we have a free trade agreement with them. and russia, of course, faces the problem even without a free trade agreement with the european union, with a single national price on carbon. so we do need to get a hold of this problem. and if you 20, starting to before we have a big trade war. even if we need some common rules here, i wonder if we can, you know, agree on those rules. because even if you look at the latest, i'm at in rome, 1st of all, russia, china graphs. and i think one of the reasons they were asking was because they simply don't agree with the way western power stance. you know, many, if you a, the climate change issue, that's my personal opinion. i but i'm entitled to it. and 2nd law, if you look at, for example, and joe biden, you know, and i mean,
10:52 am
wrong with that. and what are kate of high and mission? car numbering, i think $85.00 we goes or boys johnston taking at private jazz to get from london to glasgow while also fuming about the environmental impact of commercial aviation and why what have you. i mean that, that kind of looks like and, you know, this is a subject to, you know, 3 spent not necessarily to practice. well, i blame my, you know, on mosque for not getting transit and buying on electric kessler, i knew about it. and then biden is a pretty experienced statesman and he can, if he cares about the class, he could have tighten up his entourage a little bit. you maybe, you know, from if i cars maybe to, let's say 30 that would save the planets. i'm environmental impact, but if not,
10:53 am
i don't think the difference between 60 cars is going to be consequential. and i think the image, the president tessa said from his are real policies. i gave a real substance to his claim for environmental leadership, the united states, his body mean by real substance, uses 85 high mission cars and you say about the need to present to planet shoot you starting south. i mean, americans have this expression been boss, stop here, chunky dance, jane back. you know, he's on behavior. ah, cutting a u. s. emissions by 52 percent. by 2030, and net 0 by 2050. if only the other arctic traditional superpower would accept those numbers on the world would be much better off because they are in the top tier of climate polluters. so the real
10:54 am
problem doesn't lie in the white house in washington, if a law lives in the congress where a lot of the republicans on, inspired still by donald trump, are seeking to destroy him. because they're a great guru. donald trump really still doesn't believe in climate change. so i think all of the other members of the g. 20, you know, russia, the china, we have a common problem inside the congress of the united states. you mention another b, r to power. i assume it's russia and you know that the recent position on climate change is that we definitely should be dealing with it by improving energy efficiency and developing more sustainable sources of energy including nuclear power, including hydro power, including natural gas, is
10:55 am
a way to go. am russian says that i absorb capacity, huge absorption capacity. now this idea in forest also should be taken into account . do you think that this claim is justified per decade? i think one of the great problems in the global governance for climate change is everybody has focused on the sources of emissions up, you know, energy and forgotten about the power of the sinks that absorb them that shut on down. so finally on that you're quite right. we have seen the world talk to for a super powers. that's the russian federation and canada. get their partners along with help from other friends, including the united states, a to agree. they now stood at glasgow just the other day to
10:56 am
stop deforestation 9 years from now. so those trees can continue to absorb massive amounts of greenhouse gas emissions and at rome did she 20. they finally agreed to plant our tree and freeze to start to replace all those we've all lost. now there's more that the 2 countries could do. canada and rush, we are the world's talk to superpower is not only in for us, but in pete lance. in pete lans absorb much more carbon than even our forest still. so i'm waiting for the g 20. it didn't at rome, but maybe at glasgow the un well to discover the power of our peep lambs and save them to wow. let's see how it goes. it would be very interesting your fresh
10:57 am
and kind of that with each other, i suppose do something for themselves, but also for the benefit of the planet. and it's people who diapers guarantee. so music or do we have to leave it there? but thank you very much. for being with us today, always the pleasure. and thank you for watching hope to see you again next week and will depart, ah with mm ah
10:58 am
oh, driven by dream shapes, as in a dares sinks, we dare to ask in it's been a year since the soviet union collapsed in miss called a little chill on to what the bomb yet nuclear, you know, talk, so shown where you also trust one coil or tom ukraine was one of the independent states that emerge from the ruins of a supervisor or somebody. will you also get on greens? come a little, i'm surely. she was some of the act and last new lucian with better lung or law it
10:59 am
if it was a, as a resource for you, the seriousness of this. but it is a finish with watch. at the past 3 decades, we like the ukraine. eye witnesses were call the events, there should be more or less, so do to shoot in a deficiency of chipotle. you what i knew. so no matter what, i'm not sure, but about 4 months with no idea what else and what other forces were at play. you have to do so to me. show see engine mushy in those them you put in the kid what it, i'm going to consume. many of the shows up in them was a little versions of these. take a look at ukraine, 30 years out, the gaining independence dog via phone with us for dinner unless you mean i get, it was late, but a will. it could be issue last williston, so for our, ah,
