we can speak now to their head of climate and energy, gerard redmond—king. good morning.al welfare, might be at the bottom of the agenda of the net comes to post brexit trade deals. we are deeply concerned about this not just deals. we are deeply concerned about this notjust the behalf of the millions of people, supporters and members who the organisations have signed the letter represent but on behalf of the majority of people in the uk. two thirds of british people are concerned about climate change and when you ask what it is that people are most worried about in relation to climate change, 80% of them say it's the wildlife and nature and the uk has been a leader in tackling climate change, in fighting the illegal wildlife trade. we really don't believe there is any need for the uk government to be throwing those commitments away now in the interests of trade. but we also don't think that's what the british people want. we have this brought up recently after a representative of the foreign and commonwealth office came out and said trade and growth are priorities for al

i think you met philip gerard, who wrote cape fear rising. there is also john sayles. as well.ood i think one of the more brave books that has been written, the marrow of tradition by charles chestnut. he was born before the civil war to freed slaves and was the first african-american to publish a short story in the atlantic magazine. last theionship would rest of his life, and in 1901, he published the marrow of tradition, which was the story of what happened in wilmington written within two years and written by a person of color. he had to change everyone's name for his own safety, so he made composite characters and change the name of the city, so it is not wilmington, it is wellington. william dean howell reviewed the book he said it is a book that has more justice and mercy in it. in addition to the marrow of tradition, he had two short stories made into films by the madet filmmaker and 1926 into the spider, and the house behind the theater was made into the millionaires in 1927. because of his legal training, chestnut did a lot of work with the naacp. he succeede
