hello david attenborough, what animal do you think will become extinct next?avid attenborough, i like spiders do like spiders to? what kind of animal do you like? i think i like spiders to? what kind of animal do you like? i thinki like monkeys best. because they are such fun. prince george,. princess charlotte and prince louis, quiz sir david attenborough about the natural world. good evening. donald trump's doctor — in the latest statement on the president's condition — says he's doing ‘very well‘ and is in ‘exceptionally good spirits', after spending his first night in hospital. mr trump was transferred from the white house to the walter reed military medical centre outside of washington — following his his diagnosis with covid—i9. in a tweet a short time ago, the president said that "he was feeling well with the help of the doctors and nurses". but the president‘s doctor has just been forced to clarify when mr trump was first diagnosed with covid — and a source familiar with mr trump‘s health contradicted the upbeat assessment of the white house doctor. ou

. lam i am david attenborough. i've had the most extraordinary life. it is only now that i appreciate how extraordinary. the living world is a unique and spectacular marvel. yet the way we humans live on earth is sending it into a decline. human beings have overrun the world. what an absolute pleasure to be able to speak to you. thank you so much. where are we with the planet right now? how would you summarise and assess it? since i made the first television programme it is three times as many people on the planet as it was then. and we have overrun it. and now we are realising what appalling damage we have done. and as well as realising the damage we are realising how much we are dependent upon the natural world so everything we do, every breath of airwe take everything we do, every breath of air we take every mouthful of food we eat comes from the natural world. and if we damage it we damage ourselves. when did you realise that we we re very ourselves. when did you realise that we were very possibly on that path,

i love how they all say david attenborough.me very dark front pages. absolute. i‘m not a fan of the royal family but these children are adorable and it‘s a good news we needed at the moment to cheer us up. i think all new channels should put this on a loop for 2h hours a day, just play again and again. —— read all news channels. we need good news with all the disasters going on, the terrible news about president trump and the spread of coronavirus in this country, just put them on all the time and everyone will feel good. white may call the alternative is we rerun this paper review on a loop. that would horrify people. not such a good idea. as ever, many thanks for being with us. we will be back at half past eleven for another look at the papers. goodbye for now. headline coming soon. stay tuned for that. hello there. we‘ve already seen a lot of rainfall this weekend and there is more wet weather to come through the day to day for a number of areas and those rainfall totals have been really mounting up over the past three days

i am david attenborough. i‘ve had the most extraordinary life.and asked them how much we are dependent upon the natural world. every breath of air we take, every mouth of food that we eat comes from the natural world. and if we damage it, we damage ourselves. when did you realise that we were very possibly on the path as far as you see it? the first time i had indubitable proof was back in the 60s, i suppose, when i swam on a coral reef in australia and saw a damaged reef and it was a terrible sight. it‘s like a cemetery because colourful coral, swarms of wonderfulfish, had now become bleached white. they can recover but not from repeated assaults and increases in temperature. that was a sign to me that humanity is capable of exterminating whole communities, enormous communities of living creatures. i‘d been making television programmes and certainly the last 20, 30 years, i started each of them by saying look, the world is in peril, we are damaging it and it is all humanity‘s vault and very little has happened and yet suddenly, within the last f

sir david attenborough, it's a great honor to have you on the newshour. very much for being here. anyone who knows your work knows that you've increasingly talked out man's impact on the natural world. but this film really hits this point very directly. was it your sense that things had just gotten so bad that that needed to be the focus of this project? >> yes, i think i've been speaking about this the last 20, 30 years, really. it's just what anybody who knows the natural world, and spends time looking at the natural world, stares it in the face. and anybody with whom that happens feels a huge responsibility to talk about it. >> brangham: as you say in the film, and in the book, that when you were a young man and going to all these exotic places, you had the sense at the time that that man's imprint was not being felt. was there a moment where you first recognized and said, "i see it now? i see very directly the imprint that humanity is having on the planet?" >> yes. the problem is making global assessments like that. mean, you can go to a glacier that

so in the last few days, david attenborough has been talking aboutjust how grave this extinction crisisery silly if i said it had nothing to do with me because it is to do with me and thousands of other farmers. your message is that it's to do with you as a farmer but it's to do with me as a consumer, to do with absolutely all of us. but here is an interesting question for you, then. in the rich world, if you look at it in sort of real terms, food has become much cheaper over the last 50 years. i think the proportion of the weekly income that a british person spends on food today is about one third of what it was in the 1950s. it's10% instead of 33%. right, exactly. so, are you saying to me that's a bad thing? food in the rich world has become too cheap? i'm saying we need to think very long and hard about whether that's sustainable, and what we're actually finding is that to make food that cheap, we're often trashing the ecosystem, trashing the very soil itself. so, the un is talking about some of our agricultural landscapes having less than 60 harvests left. but this is a difficult pl

iam i am david attenborough. i've had the most extraordinary life.ing it into a decline. human beings have overrun the world. so david attenborough, what an absolute pleasure to be able to speak to on bbc breakfast. where are we now, where will you assess it? since i made the first television programme, three times as many people on the planet and we have overrun it. and now we are realising what appalling damage we've done and asked them how much we are dependent upon the natural world. every breath of air we take, every mouth of food that we eat comes from the natural world. and if we damage it, we damage ourselves. when did you realise that we we re very ourselves. when did you realise that we were very possibly on the path as far as you see it? the first time i had indubitable proof was back in the 60s, i suppose, when i swam on a coral reef in australia and saw a damaged reef and it was a terrible sight. it's like a cemetery because colourful coral, swarms of wonderful fish, had now become bleached white. they can recover but not from repeated a

we launched a really big fundraising appeal that was headed up by sir david attenborough, and we arend maintain the work for wildlife that we do. the london zoo in whipsnade, i presume you are in a stronger position than smaller, less well—known zoos in the uk, because of your profile, for example? well, we are an organisation that is nearly 200 yea rs old organisation that is nearly 200 years old and the london zoo was famous across the world, but we don't receive any government grant. we need to make our own way in the world. we closed once before for a week during world war ii. for us, this really has been devastating for our financial impact, and that is true for zoos a cross impact, and that is true for zoos across the country. and across the world. right... dominic, iam across the world. right... dominic, i am so sorry we have to leave it there. thank you for being on the programme. we will see you soon. hello. this spell of quieter weather continued on sunday, but with all the cloud around, the brightest thing many of us saw was the autumn colour, here on view in staffordshire

i was sitting at home a couple of weeks ago and i switched on extinction: the facts, the david attenboroughhe ecological crisis, coronavirus and the way our economy and society is structured. everything is a green issue. everything is connected. and that is finally being recognised. there is no economy on a dead planet. that's what we often used to say. but this awful pandemic that we're just partway through has already made us recognise, like never before, the truly deep connections between our people, society and our planet. we have seen that it is people of colour and the working class who will suffer disproportionately from climate breakdown. people of colour and the working class who have always suffered disproportionately from health inequality, social inequality and racism. and it's people of colour and the working class who are suffering disproportionately from coronavirus. we have gained new perspectives from this terrible crisis and new perspectives too from our government's failing attempts to forge its response to the pandemic within a prevailing economic system that just wasn't

earlier this week, sir david attenborough sat down with louise for an exclusive interview, but she wasn'tnd, i do love the galapagos, because there, the animals aren't afraid of anyone, and you can go up to a bird like a frigate bird or a gannet or a booby, which are big birds, the size of a turkey, and they would take no notice of you. it's absolutely wonderful. and all the animals are like that. there are land iguanas and marine iguanas, you can swim in the sea, you can swim alongside sea lions that swim alongside you. and that's wonderful. there are even, and this is really extraordinary, not only are there sea lions, and it's on the equator, where it's very hot, there are also penguins, think of that! hello, my name is robert and i am seven years old and i would like to ask, how are we going to save the planet? by working together and not wasting things and agreeing to help one another in solving the problems. hi, my name is penny, i am ten years old and i would like to ask, how did it feel having your face as a cake on great british bake off? well, i didn't actually feel it! and i di
