it also wants to be at the forefront of arctic exploration because it sees the territory very much in its own backyard but it doesn't have the expertise or the technology to make that happen on its own so it needs international partners also b.p. wants this because russia is one of the very few places that it can now go for new production growth its reputation is increasingly in the u.s. and it's not at risk having it downgraded and threats of a new takeover so there's a lot to lose for all sides in a very short time in which to lose it it seems that they are might be interested in having it stake out just because if we didn't spend it would be left with a century of dollars investment into a b.p. oil company that's essentially would have no growth potential if this deal did indeed go ahead although having said that they are is in a very strong position thanks to these rulings by the arbitration court. or process of these slightly amid reports that libyan leader moammar gadhafi has accepted a peace plan to end the conflict in the country brant crude is trading around one hundred twent

you have to do to make an ice age come and go is that you cool down the summers a little bit in the arctic areas of northern canada let's say and more snow falls in the winter than can melt in the summer so it builds up over time and if you give it enough time you build up a giant ice sheet that flows under its own weight and buries places like new york city where i'm sitting right now as it once was. you you talk in your book about how we're scheduled for another ice age in about fifty thousand years or another cooling period and that we may have already smoothed that out with the carbon that were thrown into the atmosphere right now and yet that might not be the best thing perhaps it perhaps the wisest thing would have been for us and going forward to hang on to that carbon to keep that carbon available for future generations to use if they need to intervene with the climate as it were and. framing this poorly but but you know the concept i'm talking about can you speak to that. sure yeah actually involving ice ages is another thing that caught my attention because we are these new compu

to participate in the arctic exploration deal with ross net that's according to reports in the business press and both london and moscow but corporate lawyer in ivory believes the dispute does have a silver lining for the russian government. i think that the point that i missed in western circles is this is actually great news for russia and great news for a legal system because. you have a great example here of where the parties are contracts in the course of said you've got a contracts you must obey. the fact that you have to come you're trying to do something with back by the russian government is irrelevant the reality is you have a contract we have a rule of law russia so actually i think this is a point that western media so it was a bit stuffing it's a great day for russian leaders as. well as have a look at how the markets are doing for us europe where the markets dropped after japan raised the severity level of its nuclear crisis commodity related stocks are under pressure is all in metal prices keep falling shares in total pro one point six percent in paris a. drop three point

deal makes no sense they don't have expertise in the arctic they don't have the means nor the resources and it's beginning to look as though in case you know there are a sort of whiplash in b.p. why should they be sort of deciding what b.p. must do it's a very difficult situation especially because in russia there with a lot of uncertainty with the elections coming next year but i agree with mr putin and with. you know a doubling this is a good deal for both parties there are around six billion barrels of oil in that place which need to be brought bronstein and buying. prices at the current levels would not be in my point of view very smart move. actually do you think that there could be concerns in russia about a foreign company having such a strong role in a key strategic resource. well they don't have a strong role they're participating in the same way that for example total and start all will participate in stockman. and brosnan if it will be a new a large ns which means you know weeks since a signal to the world that ross native's an international global oil company like the r. bur
