arctic. that is why the coast guard is working including efforts to acquire three heavy icebreakers through its polaroid security program. originally construction of the first was scheduled to begin in 2022 with delivery in the mid- 20s. we have reached the mid- 20s in the shipyard, the design is only 60% complete and the coast guard has not determined the delivery date on the final cost. it is important to note that applying these vessels is no easy task. this is the first domestic construction of a heavy icebreaker in the u.s. over 50 years. it only underscores the need for continued investment in u.s. shipyards and shipbuilding capabilities. without a robust industry the coast guard will continue to face challenges on any vessel. that is why it is critical to the u.s. recently, in fact yesterday signing the icepack between canada and finland to share information and technology and increase the supply of icebreakers for our allies. leveraging these is crucial to increase production to reduc

about the arctic today. do you think that's kind of where canada can make the biggest impact for collective security, is in the arctic? or do you think it's somewhere else, in the pacific or some other place? >> that's a really good question. i'll break it into two parts. first, the united states is discussing with canada how they should spend, where they should spend getting the biggest bang for the buck. that's the good news, good discussions. not really a lot of dissent on either side. let's go to the bigger question, and that is the dollar amount. that statement that was made wasn't about nato would be in a tough place if everybody spent like canada does. that wasn't very diplomatic. unfortunately, it is true. it is a hard thing to look our friends in the eye and say, look, folks, we all made an agreement, we're all in this together, nato was the strongest, most successful, the best military alliance in the history of the world. putin found that out. he didn't think that was going to be the case. i belie

the around the world interest in the arctic is growing rapidly. and it's also a top priority for russia. as major arctic infrastructure projects are being actively pursued right. every year, the international gas form is held in saint petersburg. as for the russian states and the countries of ruling elite, the goal is simple. to become the world's leading energy ex border and go fish has limits to cuz you probably know that more than 80 percent of natural gas reserves and more than 20 percent of the oil reserves are located in the arctic really have to. so these aren't big projects, are definitely a priority for us, the, for those, the details on these great, the san francisco fellow store the boy, the glass on the actual process of gas extraction and requires the construction of infrastructure the previous to a unit for us to fully what's covered before the gas can be set to the surface switch over to the land has to be prepared accordingly. to discuss comply some other humans, you need sand, water, and many other things. i've done the support sh

i often go to the arctic, and what i heard from them there is arctic sovereignty and security isn't occasionally a plane flying overhead or a ship sailing by when the water is out. i said, ok, what do we have to do? it was rather startling, they said infrastructure. they said "we need you to build highways, fiber-optic communications, water plants, runways, deepwater ports. we need you to invest in our community." that is what our country has decided to do, because if we want to maintain our collective security in the arctic, we have to be persistently and reliably present there, we have to make huge new investments. if we are going to operate in the arctic in a defense capacity, we have got to build the infrastructure necessary to support it and build a stronger relationship with the indigenous people and communities in that region so that we can be stronger together. [applause] i think our greatest strength is on display right here in this room. our collective defense. our shared vision of a free insecure world adhering to shared and respected values. that is why we have gathered at the halifa

if it goes away it is a huge part of how people survive in the arctic. that rely up to 80% on those food resources. they are organic, natural food resources being affected by climate change. >> arctic ice in the sea continues to shrink after being on the decline for decades. september's sea ice level was the sixth lowest on record. caribou have declined by more than 60%. the report and native communities say it is crucial for indigenous groups and scientists to work together to manage climate change as it affects the arctic. >> caribou in my region is the number one meat source we have from land animals. therefore it is our life source. it is no different than someone who raises chickens, killing all their chickens. >> she said the caribou are one symptom of a greater illness threatening the arctic and the planet. >> when you look at one species like caribou, the protection of them tell a story of the ecosystem. because they are reliant, which has a definite connection to the underlying permafrost, which is the cooling system for the entire planet, when

now should we be doing that in the arctics and what it's getting used to it? and the answer is a clear yes. and you study if that's a good thing about what you guys problem is working on it and the name of some of the company i guess the northern see about as being actively explored at the deal. at the last way or that's a cfc, but i'm a model with the northern c route will continue to be developed. it could you just say, so what was that? and i think the by 2050, i see the arctic shelf belonging to russia and other countries will be an important global supplier of hydrocarbon up in the city. yeah. not nearly every the, the silly and the other name yet. don't know what the future holds. but it will certainly involve dealing with climate change and the other consequences of gas extraction. the maintenance will have to rely on their strengths, their knowledge of nature, and their resilience. only then will they stand a chance of continuing the nomadic way of life they practiced for generations. infections the nature recovers quickly. doesn't tolerate destruction

let's talk about arctic. who wants to control and prepare already not just hybrids, a real military confrontation? it's not about ukraine. i remember as a former chair of the foreign relations committee 200 attempts of dialogue with russia to achieve a cease-fire. i don't believe that trump is interested in minsk three because he wants to be a winner. actually this war is a winnable one. let's start this as long as it takes approach, this year of escalation. let's stop this practice when russia is overprotected and ukraine is oversupported. this is really important to understand. so it's not about ukraine anymore. this is the era of tyrannies which started already the high world war iii. let's confiscate russian -- [ indiscernible ] 300 billion. if you are not ready to ramp up production, we in ukraine ready to do it. israel, taiwanese successes of ukrainian drones. give us money. give us more money like denmark did, like norway did. invest in ukraine defense, because ukraine will become a defense cop. it's a

that's because their country borders the arctic. we don't, for the most part because our country doesn't for the most part. and so we can't force somebody to annex themselves to us just because we want more access. the way to do it is to work with the danes, our allies. cooperatively for mineral rights, for access to the arctic, for national security. but it's not by, by by saying that we're somehow going to just grab greenland and just annex it, any more than we're going to annex the panama canal, which you may disagree or agree with. jimmy carter, and relinquish him back to the panamanians. but nevertheless, here we are. the panamanians own it, and we can't get it back short of what, a military strike. i don't know what the proposal here is, so look, there's a way to do this diplomatically, and there's a way to have access to both the canal and to greenland, without suggesting, as donald trump is, that we are going to just go and grab it. and that's the difference between a president that knows how to do diplomacy, especially enga

and now with finland and sweden in nato we have seven arctic coastal nations, that form a very strongsion either by russia, or increased interest by china or others in the region. so, this is increasingly important that as the climate warms and changes in greenland and the arctic, faster than any place around the planet, and we see the great greenland ice melting at a rapid rate we need to both address those climate risks and we need to be mindful of the opportunities that are created for increased commercial activity as a result of that. and therefore protect those interests both for the people of greenland and denmark and nato, and america's strategic interest overall. you're live with bbc news. a russian air strike has hit ukrainian president volodymyr zelensky�*s home town while his christmas message was being broadcast. rescuers are digging through the rubble, searching for survivors. at least one person was killed and dozens more injured in the attack. ukraine is marking its third christmas since the russian invasion. at kyiv�*s saint sofia cathedral, mr zelensky said ukrainians

i think arctic would be a very positive place to address the challenges we will face because we are seeing the incursion by russia and china into the arctic, it's a problem for canada, a problem for united states, and for all of the countries that border the arctic, and we better get busy and recognize the challenge we need to start addressing. >> let me put a fine point on this to address at, when president trump first took office, three nations were making their 2%. today because of his pressure we have only a handful that aren't doing the 2%, and one of them is canada. jean and i both deal with europeans all the time and there are a lot poorer countries and countries and more difficult financial positions in canada is that are stepping up and doing the 2% right now. we need to all get on board. >> on that note we are out of time but a great way to begin, so many ideas for us to continue to think about and talk about for the rest of the weekend, thank you both.

and the russians and chinese are all over the dark -- the arctic.enland, and they've got an obligation to defend greenland, and president trump says if you don't defend it, we'll buy it and we'll defend it. but we're not going to defend it for free and not extract the min minerals and oil, and the king of denmark becomes even wealthier. denmark is now on the front lines of the war against russia and china. they're like poland, the baltic states, because of their vast territory in greenland. they've got to defend greenland, and if they can't defend it, we're going to have to, and we're not going to do it for free. they can put the frigate and airways and missiles there, the infantry there that they need to defend the country just like latvia, lithuania and estonia are doing in eastern europe, or they can pay us to do it and we'll do it, but they can coffer the cost of defense. or if they don't want to do either of those things, let us buy greenland from them, and greenland can become part of alaska. the native people are closely related to the people

china calls itself a near arctic country, which is baloney, they are not an arctic trunk country butcan extort minerals and lad waterways that becomes available to them, so that is a greenland play, for sure. the other thing about the panama canal come everyone saying it is crazy trump would want to retake the panama canal, we actually have a treaty with panama. a neutrality treaty about the canal, when we handed over management in the '90s to the panamanian government, and it says that the united states reserves the military right to go back in and take control of the canal if they don't uphold the neutrality clause the way people can use it, making sure the fees, trump has talked about, that people are being charged too much, and you look at the way china is operating in the canal as part of their belt and road initiative all over the world, they are owners of ports and companies that are building in the canal, and they are not just using it to make sure that their goods are shipped through, of course chinese for spying and other espionage, so these are national security plays an e

and global resilience on russia-china cooperation in the arctic.llaboration between russia and the people's republic of china and unprecedented styles of collaboration especially in the military domain give us, again, pause. so with china and russia in the scope, dr. grant, what will be the biggest challenge facing president trump's secretary of defense on day one? >> well, fact that russia and china can really stretch our military forces, you know, that's kind of pentagon speak for saying, hey, we are getting really worried about the arctic. the joint bomber flight between russia a and china back last summer included two chinese bombers that are nuclear-capable, the h6n, and there's all sorts of things going on under the surface, under the ice. you know, this is why we need to have a really capable submarine force and to have our unmanned types of submarines like the new orca that can really keep russia and china's sub marines at bay. that high north is very strategicking it's very close to the united states with. we have a lot of "forbes"s up in

points as countries seek to advance and protect their own interests go we see this already in the arctic where rapid warming is literally changing the political, economic, cultural, and security contours of the arctic. the battle over water resources can also contribute to cross-border and regional tensions, nearly 40% of the world's population depends on water that is shared with another country. we see potential for rising tensions particularly in river basins where the rate of change is greater and can be absorbed by local institutions and agreements. several transboundary rivers have been marked by historical grievance that exacerbate disputes over water management decisions, for example in central and south asia, forced displacement and irregular migration is another mounting change, estimates that one hundred 20 million people have been forcibly displaced, the highest number ever recorded. now conflict, violence, poverty, persecution, human rights violations and abuses and climate change related disruptions push people to undertake often dangerous journeys in search of safety and b
