climate change. well i, i would encourage all societies to avoid the politics of fair for future because i think it brings out the work behaviors and everybody the, the tree phase. if we looked 30 years ago when we were talking about climate change, we would be talking about temperature a price is about to $12.00 degrees centigrade. and we've already managed to move the needle down to possibly 2 degrees or 1.5 degrees centigrade the challenges. we still have a long way to go, because the population is still growing and people need more energy and with more energy comes more emission. so the question is, how do we use more energy but less the mission and we're not there yet. we're still in a way that says we would get to more than 2 degrees warning, but there's lots of different initiatives happening, lots of innovation and government companies. community keith, a started to declare these different targets. i think we're in this era what i would call target some timeline. it's going to be followed by

change. countries around the world are seeing unprecedented changes last month, a small village in western canada set that countries cleanest records, and marking nearly 50 degrees celsius, signed to se average temperatures are on the rise. wildfires seem to appear more often and more destructive and europe proceed. its worst floods in a generation. so what's behind all this? we'll put that to our guests in just a moment. first, let's have a quick look at the global picture. in turkey areas, hosting popular resort sent to his destination have been declared disaster zones. at least a dozen fires burning across its mediterranean coast. emergency crews are struggling to cope because they help move hundreds of people to safety. similar scenes in italy, southern islands, over sicily, where people have been forced to leave their homes fires. there're spreading rapidly destroying houses and forcing hundreds of tourists to flee the city of kasanya in russia. one of the coldest places on earth, far as

of the hazards of climate change can. how can cities and societies start to adapt and prepare for these extreme climate events? what, what can cities do with regard to whether it be, you know, urban planning or, or infrastructure to reduce the risk of say for now flooding? well, basically there are 2 pathways to take. one is to take the water away from the city's or the 2nd is to take the people away from the water when, when they come to a flood. obviously you can do both of the same time. i mean, there have been places in europe where they have had incidences of flash flooding which can sometimes be very unexpected. and the infrastructure that have been built has been large, concrete drainage system to remove the water when, when it happens very quickly. it's quite often that you see cities in like the mountain regions of a lead, for example, which i've got a tiny little stream running through the middle that they're located in a large channel which might have like punk scrubbing and rocks. and it looks very attracted t

it needs systemic change. if you just bringing change on one says this, that's a, this is widespread. and in order for structural change to take place and the most effective change take days, it needs to be systemic. it needs to be institutionalized. so only addressing every level of the problem. yes, 100 percent fair. you started climate warriors and you're a part of the collective movements. tell me what collective movement is and what work you do with them. so the collective movement is a youth delayed into sectional time and group. and we aim to achieve crime, a justice through social justice and vice versa. so it's a group of young activists and recently i work has all been on social media and online because we've had demick. so this year we working on climate change through patton, african context. so interviewing or having discussions with activists from uganda and kenya, and just broadening our perspective on climate change and how the policy making takes place in different areas around the world and d

also changing? san predictably, are there potential risks with huge, quick over change? the way 3 have been risks human being to benefit what we way against the risks. the challenge is not just to transition the energy system, but steers in a way where we get clean, affordable, and reliable. so you want resilience. obviously we want guarantees, but not nothing gives guarantees. the b, as you said before, and there were many previous power transitions or energy transitions around them, but they always happened in their own pace. and when it's, when that piece is natural, you know, that gives you some sort of hedging. i mean, obviously we all are walking into the unknown, but if the pace is moderate, then you can make adjustments as you roll your adver. getting in many people in the world are advocating in needed very urgent action. and that i was supposed increase his risks of certain possibilities that were still cannot account for i'm not advocating a pace of change which is urgent or immediate. i'

, ., _ , changes? the first thing to say is that all viruses _ changes?ges? the first thing to say is that all viruses as theyjump into | changes? the first thing to say is. that all viruses as theyjump into a new host, they generate a large number of variance, as they try and adapt and evolve into a better fit for their new hosts species, and we've seen that dramatically through 2020. but once it achieves that, the rate of new variance concern drops considerably. and whether or not we have actually achieved that at this point it is noticeable that none of the variance of concern at the moment have appeared since christmas. they've all been last year, so the rate of new variance will fall, but if we look at the other coronavirus is, they actually generate escape mutations themselves every few years. and we will expect that over a long period of time, but each mutation, as we've seen but does not mean that vaccines are not effective of us are also mentally i suspect we will not really need booster vaccines because of the way the vaccines or cleats in socie

you some port debit since 1990 and 2020, even during the 30 years there's no change. almost same level, but use better than some other country because in some of the country that's going up. so they take an idea the so, but we are not looking at we are still not looking at issues. for example, many countries are criticizing china for increasing your emission. but in fact, china is exploiting a lot to the united states and europe and union. and that those people are using the mission from china and then blame china's get all the blame for making those people to enjoy the expand. it's not only china but also much of the asia after that. those goods that consume, they're also receiving the, the, the, the, the waste and the, the garbage and everything else. wasting a lot of energy on transporting the garbage from. the developed parts of the world to the developing one decision. we have to take a very short break right now, but we will do back in just a few moments. stay tuned. the me or i better survival guide is going to storage federal reserve shirts. so there you go. o

will we ever change? you always use the use? yes, thank you very much for joining us on the show with us in the studio is pater author and journalist with a humbug based weekly d site. she's convinced that we will change our ways and life will be best. also with this is claudia camphor, from the german institute for economic research. she argues that climate protection means freedom across the generations of fossil free life is not about going without . it's about living a full life and a warm welcome to, to angelica, i'm a christian who is with the cato institute, also headquartered here in berlin, and actually say use for the global. so it's all about reconciling di compensation with just this and poverty alleviation. thank you. very much for all, for all 3 of you for being here today. i'd like to take the 1st question to claudia . it's got to do with the united nations, which is calling the climate change, the defining crisis of our time. indeed un secretary general antonio. good cherish, says climate change called the climat

it's going to take a change. there is a bit of sort of a sort of an annoyance that, you know, we've come so far. yes, 60, nothing's happened, but i'll be waiting for it to reach in a situation to act. but something is going to happen in this country in the next couple of months where we have a general election there very, a watershed election. i would suggest that the end of september, or half a minute from each of you. what advice would you give to the incoming german government, on the climate issue? to go forwards quickly because there's lots of markets for the german industry if we now switch into to green economy. if we are able to provide green products and debate, we need to, we really need an honest debate about the chances, but also about the transformation. not only determined goals, that's good, but all confirm. but we need measures to go there and to there's some kind of dishonesty in the whole debate they can do better on the carbon pricing issue. i mean, guess it's still in mid term. so me what exac

so if this happens, you know, everything will change their training. so this is what i hope that helps you sound good. how to go. hi. be a new one to pass on to buy some pounds of things. it's hard to say the penny. oh you don't play. yeah. yeah. the sense to do it that way. will that will help you with this? and so this test over as even though it's never going to be fuzzy because no matter how much money you have and no matter how much plastic surgery and go to always find something wrong. and i think the only weakest enjoy yourself. and once you enjoy us, any scenario, you had the 805 k t ages shod that up comedian as people were still by, you're going to feel the news. the news africa laughed to, nor do white miners in the world are grieving here in kenya. but waste, who is this lady? this is your last chance to reproduce. so behave scientists are trying to seem to be and they have a lot of ideas about how to do it. for the next d, w. player culture. hi hair. the super food dilation, dial icon, the letter lifestyle euro is 60 minutes with a there a

and let's stay on climate change. once again, climate change just have to transform city neighborhoods around the world. older buildings in particular require expensive with retrofits to meet new efficiency standards, such as new air and heating units in the united states. many of those buildings are in minority communities. is the story of one entre printer in new york determined to help these neighborhoods go green. a final adjustment and one last check of the new unit. danelle baird, is that a home in brooklyn? where a new combination air heating unit has just replaced an old oil run boiler. and as the air kinda get his company made it possible, it's called block power and it finances and contracts the work for retrofits of older buildings. its focus is neighborhoods of color home on idea. the reason that this is important is because in new york city and 100 other 50 cities around the country, there are new laws that say that you have to green your building. whether it's been 7 years, 10 years, 20 years, we're goin

government as well and so every policy change to promote energy efficiency and as mentioned to change the impact related to greenhouse gases will be appreciated and help to minimize the threat of climate change and again we deal with the impact of climate change. >> i hate to reclaim my time here, but i asked specifically about china. i understand the state perspective and with that i'm going to turn over to mr. bill my. could you comment on china's climate impact as a concern to the united states homeland security? >> as we say everything every single one of us does affects everyone in the world because we all share the air. as people in china try to reach the level of service that we have in the transportation and energy use here in the states and the western world, we will use more and more energy and what we want is for china and places in the developing world everywhere to skip the greenhouse gas intensive step and go into a more energy efficient and renewable system everywhere. .. >> but competition from china but the idea that if you do something to somebody that means you have

c into the panel on climate change. so is there, so of countries like russia can invest in reforestation or forest ration, then you can be while positive about the russia as calculation of short a mission. this whole issue involves a lot of calculations, a lot of statistics. and as you said before, they break from the british example, statistics can sometimes be very misleading on the figures that we side. they often reflect not the actual state of affairs, but rather the vested interest of the speaker. how trans darren, how straightforward is our numerical thinking about those things. you know, the bigger is the volumes that are being cited as you may receive a short term problems of how we look at we're analyzing the issue. so certainly the code or statistical information we get needs to be improved and a just too much based on production site. but we have to also see the pros, consumption side. and the, regarding the 43 show your opinion isn't against accounting and but we are having some issues about the scope, how

so don't you think these sides will create the issue of time changed climate change coming to the focus now ahead of the september elections were climate change is already one of the main issues. the german voted and has been for several years. right now is ranking just behind the corona virus pandemic. the green party is currently polling at number 2 here in germany. and even if they don't win the election, they are likely to have a big influence on the next government. so the climate change used to be something that happened elsewhere for many germans. but now we see extreme weather events like this happening here, and voters want politicians to do something about it. right, charles, our thank you very much. now england has lifted nearly all of its remaining current virus restrictions. among other things are the night clubs that will be reopening in the venues can run at full capacity and face loss will no longer be legally mandated. the thing the restrictions are part of what's being deemed as freedom day, but not everyone is happy about the move, especially with cove at 1900 cases o

[grunts] host: that's clarence, maryland. a chart looking at the areas of the country where wildfires are currently happening, this chart here looking at the total acres burned going back to 2000, you can see the trend, the increase over time over the past 20 years when it comes to total acres burned. the map above it showing the areas facing a greater than usual risk of major wildfires this month, more than 90% of the west is under drought. the brown areas of the map of the united states, those are the areas facing greater risk, specific wildfires happening right now in this country. phone lines on the issue of climate change, (202) 748-8000 if you think the u.s. is doing too much on the issue.

is changing because of human activity. so means we need to reduce emissions to start to reduce the warming and reduce the suffering. but it also means because we've delayed action for so long that we need to take measures to adapt to the changes that have happened already. professor there are also wildfires right now in siberia and you mentioned that the urgency needed for action. i mean, yesterday i was talking to one of the experts who writes the i p c. c reports about how we're heading towards triggering some feedback loops and tipping points. it feels like before this pandemic, people were feeling the urgency, now much lesser do you think people actually understand what's potentially on the horizon? i think, i think they do. i think one of the things that really changed over the years, particularly here in north america, people in north america used to imagine it to see climate change into experience that you had to go somewhere else. there was this assumption that because we're relatively wealthy in north america that

but that was changed. a switch was made to use actual demand projections with the bottom of this slide. current actual being 148, and the bottom being 246. next slide. but with those original numbers, the sales cap, it was projected that in year three of a drought, only 45% of supply would be available, which means there would have to be 55% rationing. next slide. but by using the demand projections, the water available climbed to 60%, and therefore, rationing declined from 55% to 40%. that's a pretty big change. next slide. so we looked at the previous four urban water management plans and compared them to the actual, and on average, the plans were off by 22%. that's a pretty big number, but depending on how you look at it, it could be a lot bigger. for example, in 2015, the projection for the next five years that demand was going to increase by 38 million gallons per day, but the actual was 5 million gallons per day. so the projection was 760% higher than the actual, and that was just in the last urban w

but that seems to be changing now. 30 years later that changed to changing 1st of all, a tough book a longer. so the thing that initially didn't happen happened later and delayed for some european larger companies, put their headquarters in berlin. moved here from frankfurt, or even from london. they recently of course, over the breakfast play the throne bucket may me ignore interestingly, is that to be freedom and creativity of, of so interesting that that became an attractive by its own company. if people thought out that environment, even if maybe they themselves weren't artists, they wanted to be close to them. you know, thought that were the 1st pioneers and then a bit more mainstream followed. and let's not forget that off all these great people, they just got older for their part it a bit less merry than married. suddenly they have children. maybe they even start at the company and now on the record label, what not. but it has become a real business and we see that happening now. is there a backlash to that? because berlin seems to be a city that if we're generalize or against

they're basically a connection of human beings and human beings change. context change. recently a border collie from a company i circle a while ago was in his 80s and he said the only thing i can guarantee is that you're always goingto be surprised . we had a pandemic and the rise of china, any matter of geopolitical america faces, etc. >> the list goes on. >> you're always going to be surprised and that's an important framework and thinking about how organizations run but also about the direction of the ceos. traditionally boards, and i have been involved in both hiring in some instances i'm afraid firing. >> it's all part of the job. >> is an unpleasant part of the job but it's part of the job nevertheless. but we've traditionally look at a ceo candidates financial acumen and their operational experience, how they manage teams and what's their leadership style, how does their style merry with where the company is, if a company needs to restructure and reuse cost, there's does the ceo lead the charge to a difficult time, how do they think about strategic opportunities

over time but change sort of dizzyingly in particular serious times. so i want before this ends up people to know that it's not only a solemn history of the great issues of our time. class that seems to be a wonderful point at which to refuse but i want to give chance john chance to have the lastword if there's anything you'd like to add to that . >> i guess just my potential readers i put them in the opposite direction but i want to say one of the goals that i had in the book and one of the reasons why this same question that emma directs was such a hostile place to put the book together is there is i think an idiosyncratic not definitive by any means attempt at integrating history and economics. at least economics of a certain vantage and a certain time period and you know, i think one of the kind of work that i do, one of the more unfortunate things that i tend to often see are a kind of knee-jerk reaction made by historians against work done by economists and also maybe a lack of interest by economists . in taking history. really seriously. in thei

changing. i think we have to stop thinking of renewables versus or gas versus the future. manage is going to be more diverse on the supply side. you said the going to be very different as well. the situation slope clear very differential. and what we've got to do with before to move away from this mentality that we know what's best for people that locally clean is good, but it's globally dirty and unfair. we're gonna have to connect these don't between global and local between those that happen, those that don't have and between clean, affordable and just what that just means before to move away from this linea and narrow mindset and work and integration and cooperation. and the only way to do that is communities, because the government alone can't do it, community take the whole community to change the entire energy as well. and non linear thinking is the hardest chair, a challenge for humanity in my opinion, but we have to leave it there. thank you very much for talking to us. has been great

this is a big change. we want to fight those laws, we want to change those laws and keep the federal government from passing those laws because it is going to have an adverse effect on our women and daughters. host: the website is americanprinciplesproject.org. one example of the work you are doing is this.

so the momentum to drive the globe, our actions for climate change. it is a very laudable and i welcome you so much. but as you a question regarding your customer, global, kind of dry board local actions, i think we cannot distinguish the differentiator, the 2. yes, to go hand in hand. we have to have a global target step 1st. and then we have to come down to a local election. we have to translate that girl by gore means one for each country . so that kind of exercise has to be done because i worked in the u. n as well, but have some kind of frustration there. i don't think you any, it's capable of delivering that kind of a scheme to each country. actually it is a left to, to each government to decide on their own commitment. it has to be bottom up rather down be because the top down approach has been actually practice well preached, at least for the last, really in the history of climate negotiation. the top down approach has failed. the parish climate, the agreement adopt in 2015 symbolizes the fact that we gave up the top down. it is n d c national

how will climate change change your life today and tomorrow? let's as brian, teen founder and president of smart power, a washington based nonprofit renewable energy and energy efficiency, outreach and marketing company. brian, when we talked about the impact of climate change, it conjures tv news, images of wild fires and floods. but when i saw you interviewed on the news here recently, you gave me a real wack on the side of the head. when you characterized a drowning death of a poor swimmer escaping the heat as a climate change fatality. how wealth in every day ways brian is climate change impacting us. over here we're going to see how and, and in every single way, i mean think of it. coughing last night, i was getting on a plane. that plane was delayed for 3 hours because of storms. now we have summer storms, but even the pilot was like, this is getting ridiculous every single night. all of these lights are being delayed. it's inc. and it'll be the inconveniences that we see all the time. we saw huge flooding in china this week, but by the w

we can see very clearly from our observations that the uk's climate is already changing so climate changes notjust something that is going to happen in 2050 or we need to worry about at the end of the century. we are seeing this in our observations now. the report compared the most recent three decades with the 30 years before and it shows the uk is warming. the darker the red the bigger the temperature increase and everywhere is hotter by an average 0.9 degrees but east anglia and the east midlands have warmed by more than one degree. this map shows the changes in average rainfall. dark blue means more rain and the uk is an average of 6% wetter, but across much of scotland the increase is more than 10%. it's putting immense strain on the uk's infrastructure. extreme heat halting trains as tracks buckle. but scientists warn of worse to come, with future temperatures reaching over a0 degrees. what's interesting about this report is there's lots of data in there, so there's lots of temperature records and percentage changes, but actually what we're seeing are the impacts, the impacts to us

community community based change is the most sustainable and effective change in the long. and if you're looking at capitalism in a capitalistic world, the most ideal position you can be in right now is to be a white man. and that breaks down so much, it breaks down the feminist movement and breaks down any movement laid by women. capitalism breeds the system of inequality. it's always going to be if i'm winning someone else's losing, and like you said, it's a very individual, a glory, 5 individual work. and that is extremely problematic. it's also very problematic to have one face re present a home. and because it excludes people that don't match that face that don't match their demographic. so yeah, definitely not carbon capitalism is the main cause to climate crisis. sorry. can i just add onto that? you know, i mean, i'm reflecting, reflecting such an important aspect of growing and as active as we should never stop reflecting. and when i think about, you know, the 2 parties movement. firstly, i know for a fact that many people who participated in those movements in thos

that is what climate change looks like. i'm not denying climate change, of course, but what we do have to get straight is the rhetoric surrounding it. we are in a humid, subtropical climate on the gulf of mexico. this last month, everyone was talking about may, there will be 11 inches of rain overall, and it was considered exceptional. that is actually the median. you go back to 1888, that far back you can find 11 inches of rain for the month, so it does happen and will not change any time soon. to hear that we have had 500-year floods in the last decades is a clever distraction because 500-your flood is an insurance term. we would have to talk about rainfall, and we have not seen that data yet. indications say we might, and we should reduce carbon emissions as a just in case scenario. we are in agreement on that, but to talk about flooding and resiliency, we have to focus in on what really causes it, and it is a lack of infrastructure planning and development planning that does not take into account the long history of nor

to be clear that's not denying the reality of climate change but the democrats deny climate change reality in favor of the dark climate fantasy. >> the world will end in 12 years if we don't address climate change. >> the existential threat. >> the existential threat. >> it is an existential threat. >> lesson 12 years before there is irreparable damage done to this country. steve: the world will not and in 12 years. we are not phasing the existential threat. there is nothing in the science that suggest human life will cease to exist. climate change is real but climate catastrophe is false. in 2014 the un panel published representative pathways for future global warming. in the basis that it was wildly unrealistic. it assumes a fivefold increase on coal burning of total coal reserves. and start using the worst-case scenario and then the uninhabitable earth and that it is not as bad as it was looking. and then called on it to be less alarmist but the media complicit. and then to stoke that sense of an pending doom. and then acclimate of crisis. >> high temperatures could create more devastat

how much do you contribute to climate change, greenhouse gas emissions? and what is the possibility for contributing to the solution? the defendants argue that national courts don't have the right to rule on the climate because emissions and the impacts of global. but a new generation of activists are fighting for them to take exactly that responsibility and give them climate justice nearly 1400000000 cars in the world today. and by 2015, that numbers predicted to double in 2020 alone, 78000000. new cars rolled off the wealth assembly lines. more cars means more land for more appellation, more noise and more congestion and big city drive is already spent untold hours and traffic jams and all unseen series. we have to vietnam where the traffic has become truly monstrous. and it's not just to try us who are suffering from a feeling of impatience is constant attention from the effects my state of mind and my mood last the also frustrating and annoying. ah, it's an issue that is the local authority major heading up on the whole change not just the odor. somet

us health officials have changed their advice on wearing masks. vaccinated people are now being advised to wear them indoors, in places where infections are high. the announcement reverses the advice issued two months ago. president biden has again appealed to all americans to get vaccinated. day five of the 2020 olympic games is underway in tokyo — with surfing, rowing, and hockey on the agenda. it will also be another busy day at the aquatics centre with five swimming finals, and the men's diving, synchronized springboard finals. all due to take place. now on bbc news — clean energy hello, i'm kevin fong, and welcome to the engineers: clean energy. we are here at the victoria and albert museum in london with a socially distanced public audience, a virtual audience from around the globe, and three of the world's leading engineers. now, the climate catastrophe threatens all of us. but these engineers are at the forefront of providing our world with real solutions. applause. please welcome henry snaith, professor of physics at oxford, and through o

we're not changing the science. you know what changed, chris? the virus changed. and the science evolved with the changing virus. we were dealing with the alpha virus back a few months ago as i told you it was a virus that if a person had a breakthrough infection very, very unlikely that person would transmit it. that has changed. now the level of virus of an infected person with delta is a thousand times of what it was with the alpha, which means it really has the capability and in fact in the real world is doing it, it can transmit. so nothing changed about the science. it was the virus that changed. we're dealing with fundamentally a different virus. >> the breakthrough data. let's talk about it. an italian study just came out that less than 1.5% of deaths involve people who are fully vaccinated. what do you know in this country about breakthrough infections, severity lethality? >> same thing. in this country if you look back over the last several ninth 99.5% of the deaths in the united states are among unvaccinated people and 0.5% are among vaccinated people.

, context change. i was reminded recently by a board colleague from a company i served on a while ago, and he said the only thing i can guarantee you is that we're are always going to be surprised, be it pandemic, financial crisis, the rise of china, could be any manner of geopolitical risks, brags it, etc. -- brexit, america first strategy, etc. there will always be surprise, and that is an important frame when thinking about how organizations run, but also about the ceo. traditionally, boards, and i have been involved in both hiring and in some instance, i am afraid, firing -- emily: part of the job. dambisa: yes, an unpleasant part of the job, but it is part of the job nevertheless. but we have traditionally looked at a ceo candidate's financial and operational experiences, how they managed teams, their leadership style, how their leadership style marries without company is. if the company needs to restructure and reduce costs, is this a ceo that can lead the charge during a difficult time? how do t

what kind of an impact is climate change having on these poor countries? well, in, in particular, the effects will be most disproportionately marginalized or those living in poverty and extreme policy. for example, in sub saharan africa. but it's not just simply the effects of climate change on let's say, to security, it's a compounding effect we talk about. so the compounding effect on the risks of the everyday challenges that people face in their lives. so it's also about creating good development as well as thinking about climate change in the effects of the how does a climate change can, how can cities and societies start to adapt and prepare for these extreme climate events? what mean, what, what can cities do with regard to whether it be, you know, urban planning or, or infrastructure to reduce the risk of say for now flooding? well, basically there are 2 pathways to take. one is to take the water away from the city's or the 2nd is to take the people away from the water. but when they come to a flood, obviously you can do both of the same time. i mea

how do heat domes connect with climate change?arming up the planet through carbon pollution, we would not see this in more than 100,000 years, but climate change has made this a much more probable event. science is used to being more reticent about making an explicit link between a weather event and climate change. but increased computing powers means increased confidence in the accuracy of climate modelling. without emissions of greenhouse gases, you just don't see this sort of extraordinary temperatures that we're seeing at the moment. this climate modelling is providing clarity, and look at this from a doctor from the university of oxford. linking from the forest of the temperatures to climate change — the final part of the equation is us and why we are the cause of this. humanity is waging war on nature. this is suicidal. nature always strikes back and it is already doing so with growing force and fury. he is right. nature is providing a number of warnings. just look at the last few weeks. europe has recorded the second hottes

but among the guarantee, the desire for change, the will for change. it's really quite strong over that report that we just heard from you makes it very clear that the voters are exhausted by having to deal with the mafia and corruption in the political system. give us some perspective, what is the corruption they're referring to and how does it affect people's daily lives? it does affect everybody all the time. if you have to go to hospital, you have to pay the doctors in order to get good treatment. or in order to, to get certain certain pharmaceutical products, if it's been subs in the street. the best thing to do is just to pay some money to get rid of the charges. if you want to build something, for instance, in the countryside, if you need a permit for a building, then you'll pay the guy in the office some money in order to get that permit and so on and so forth. so even for normal bulgarians, this system is a rip off. however, if you look at the big picture, if you look at public procurement, public building, for instance, if you look at infrast
