and air china gained 2%. back to you, ross. >> all right, thanks for that, sixuan.good evening. we have comments from the british prime minister's spokesman. this is david cameron's spokesman. he's declined to say whether britain will wait for the united nations evidence before taking a decision to act on suspected syrian chemical attack, but he thinks that that syrian chemical attack is absolutely abhorrent and the international community must respond. they're considering what's called a proportionate response to suspected chemical weapons attack, according to this spokesman. britain have a strategic need to act quickly in situations such as this, but it's taken no decision so far. the armed forces are making contiguongency plans on how to respond. they will announce later today whether parliament will be recalled to discuss the situation. this comes after the u.s. secretary of state, john kerry, meanwhile, says there is undeniable evidence that chemical weapons were used in an attack on citizens just outside of the damascus region of syria last week. speaking to r

air pollution in china is so bad it's been compared to living in an airport smoking lounge.hina's carbon emissions are up 240%, with no end in sight. private car ownership doubled from 2005 to 2008 and the country is now the world's largest auto producer and market. global energy use is expected to grow. >> we've got a billion people in china all looking to buy cars. they're building coal-fired plants at a ferocious pace. from those being off the grid and on the grid is growing exponentially. >> across the developing world, people are fueling up and plugging in at an unprecedented rate. all these new users of energy pumping co-2 into the atmosphere, american efforts both past and present to curb emissions just a drop in the bucket? >> if the united states acts and big developing countries don't, then we'll be in for a dangerous and risky world. but there is no big solution without the united states. the united states accounts for almost a fifth of global greenhouse gas emissions. ridiculous to claim that the united states has no role in dealing with the problem. >> there's a

there's so much competition now in cable news, including planned or already on the air networks from chinah abc, fox just started a sports network. is there room for another news network? >> i think it's a great time to launch. just this week vice, which used to be a canadian music magazine was valued somewhere close to the valuation of "the new york times" courts the business sites, its u.s. traffic this week passed that of the economists in the u.s. at "time" where i work we just launched an interactive film unit. there's so much ferment and excitement and so to see it's all in the execution. >> they say that there's a 55 million strong untapped audience. do you think all those people really want more news? the cable news universe is still pretty small compared to the general television. >> you know, one of the great questions, even the amir of qatar will eventually get tired of supporting a thousand employees if the ratings don't support it. i think they seem to be aiming big and broad. in a sense almost disowning their roots and whether that's the right strategy versus owning the persp

and how much china puts out in the air. they've creped ahead of us. we've been the largest emitter for the last 30 years and already put all that carbon up in the air. you have to look at the historical trajectory. if you think about the amount of carbon we can put up there as a fixed sum, as a budget, we've taken a lot of that budget for ourselves and it's not ridiculous, other countries, china, india, look at us and say wait a second, you just put all this carbon in the air, once it's in the air and you blazes the world's temperatures you want to tell us to use low standards. that being said, you're right. we cannot have china continue on the energy path it's on right now which is building coal fired power plants. there's a potential right now and still remember there's about a billion people in this world who don't have regular access to power, right? we can imagine moving all those folks on to a trajectory not gendent on carbon based fuel to do both the things we want. get people the energy they need to live fulfilling

for example where the incidence of respiratory illnesses is pretty high where many people in china say value air pollution is the number one concern of their is so it doesn't matter of whether or not the generations down the line may be affected what matters is that c o two pollution me actually harm your own children and give them asked my for example no no no no no carbon monarch side pollution is poisonous that's what you get in china because they don't clean up their act in the west we have largely cleaned up our act that wouldn't be a problem anyway carbon dioxide is actually want to give to people in hospital if they have or breathing difficulties because it assists them to breathe so carbon dioxide is good for you it is a naturally occurring trace it isn't also. live on earth isn't it is a consequence. of burning fossil fuels that's that's what happens the carbon in the fossil fuels reacts with the oxygen in the air by combustion that's the chemical process by which this happens and so what you get his carbon dioxide is a byproduct of that combustion but this is not harmful but if you go

what surprised the japanese most was china's view on japan's warning shots prompt by air. when a foreign aircraft enters japan's air space, the air force contact the pilot by radio. he is told to follow sdf-guided planes. if the pilot refuses, the sdf fires a tracer as a warning. japanese delegates say that is the international norm but the chinese counterparts disagree. >> translator: the chinese consider the tracer a forerunner of attack. some even say firing one is an aggressive act. >> reporter: the two sides also held differing views about air defense identification zones. they are set by each country to quickly locate suspicious aircraft approaching a country's airspace. however, china doesn't use this concept, nor does it have an understanding of it. so, in january, when a chinese plane entered the zone around the senkaku islands controlled by japan, the sdf scrambled. the chinese accused japan of overreacting. japan delegate yukoda, a former self-defense fleet commander, said he was surprised that the two sides disagree on so many points. >> translator: the chinese
