the greenland ice sheet is the world's second largest glacier land mass. a study last year from the journal "science advances" found that we might have underestimated the current rate of mass loss of the greenland ice sheet by about 20 billion tons per year. as "science" magazine recently highlighted, the accelerating surface melt of ice and snow off the greenland ice sheet since 2011 has doubled greenland's contribution to global sea level rise, a phenomenon that the presiding officer sees and hears about in his home state of florida all the time. all told, the melting greenland ice sheet holds the equivalent of more than 23 feet of sea level rise in its ice. that would be a lot in miami. that would be a lot in providence. that would change the map of the united states of america. why are these glaciers changing and shrinking? obviously, because the earth is warming and ice melts. over the last 150 years, industrial activities of modern civilization have caused the burning of fossil fuels like coal and oil and their emissions have increased the concentrat

it took greenland, a small country neither arctic circle, three years to renegotiate its exit from the european community in the 1970s. most of those talks were on fishi fishing. there is no chance the uk will get a new free trade deal by the end of the article 50 so it needs to extend the time period. the problem is the politics of getting a chance single deal will be very, very tricky. under a transitional deal, the uk's relationship with the eu will be similar to what it is today. politically you mentioned the politics, you mentioned sturgeon, but theresa may's main problem are the mps in her own party that want a clean break from the eu, don't want a lengthy transitional period. she will have to get them on board in order to get that transitional period. >> how long did you say it took greenland? >> about three years. >> it took switzerland nine years. >> the average time to negotiate a free trade deal globally is 28 months. the real negotiations may not get started until after the german election, and the new german government is in place which is towards the end of the year. this

if i can ask you to talk about greenland.ts in our defence strategy for the arctic region is a priority for us in denmark to maintain the arctic as a low tension region, which it actually is. we have a significant operation of all the arctic states, both on a bilateral basis and a multilateral basis. we see the same things as i think everyone else sees. we see a russia that is upgrading, modernising, building up its military forces in general and that takes place in the arctic, as well. we also see a russia that, in general, has showed itself ready to use military force to further its objectives in contravention of international law and we see, obviously, the arctic is an area that is strategically crucial for russia in several ways, not least being the basing area for their nuclear deterrent in murmansk. the russian official line is the re—militarisation, as we would see it, of the arctic, with an additional 6000 troops which have been deployed recently, and the reopening of arctic bases as well as a considerable, it would s

sandra donated a wonderful book called greenland where he argued many of those that are addicted get their prescriptions paid for by medicaid. and nick at aei had a recent piece, had this wonderful phrase. he said this is the dependence of government on risk they take on. , that medicaid is making people dependent on drugs. but there's anotherpart of this story is really benefits . follow the money. and according to the los angeles times, who did a long piece of journalism, purdue pharmaceuticals earned $31 billion from oxycontin, oxycontin and other opioids have so far killed 200,000 people who would otherwise be alive today. so medicaid is giving the money to the steckler family and 200,000 people are incidental casualties of what, to me, is a prime example. it seems to me that it's so impossible to exclude government fromhealthcare . and that we uniquely in the rich world have a system that's part private and part public, such as the system is technically good but it's designed to give opportunities for renters. it's very bad at delivering health. we have one of the lowest life ex

the two major areas that are not part of the chinese reserves is the one in greenland and afghanistan, so these are the two areas that we see. the last is we have 14 of the 17 earth materials which are strategically important. the next important area of course was movement of goods and the movement of trade particularly. when you look at trade, given the location of afghanistan it's a major asset. and how we can really try to take the geographic advantage that afghanistan has because traditionally we were part of the original silk road, but in the last few centuries we've become a cul-de-sac as the marine trade started. so far our whole effort is how we can make afghanistan to be the roundabout for the region rather than a cul-de-sac. we have concentrated on three key areas. in movement of goods, afghanistan is going to be the main thoroughfare that china is building. a railroad plan through that one would actually get -- right now if you look at goods from china to europe, it takes about several months, but through that railroad system it would take seven to eight days. it would be a

the first time apart from greenland that a major european country leaves the european union. the unknown. it is going to be difficult. francine: and you are right. it will force europe to look at its future. many countries have used the u.k. as a smokescreen and will use their best excuse for less pooling sovereignty yet. i actually think there is not much appetite now moving towards the union. to you think there is now a bigger chance of the union becoming unraveled? >> definitely not. i actually think that post-brexit and donald trump, we have strengthened the popularity of the european union. my argument would be in very simple terms that the eu should right now sees this crisis, this opportunity, and do some reform. my argument would be that we need to do five things, continue enlargement because that is the had,policy the eu has defend our values because very few people are defending democracy and freedom now, and we need to promote the four freedoms which means the freedom of goods, services, money and people. we need to focus on security. and we need to reflect on the

remember that when greenland old,the european union of it took three years and all they negotiated wast is simply one part the broader brexit negotiations. something like nearly 400 negotiating points. american security and science and patents and fish. a whole host of things that they will have to plod their way through. with europe, it is all about fisheries. how would you play the markets? is the negative view priced into pound? everything got priced pretty well last year. the pound.ualty was the concerns worth the potential impacts but they were never going to be that great. having said that, the thing we are to think about is the u.k. inflation, courtesy of the weaker pound, is rising faster than wages. household spending will be cramped. this is something that will begin to bite further into this and that is the feel-good factor about how it didn't have negative applications, they are areably just would -- they probably just delayed. banks will remain on hold and will have a biased despite the chatter to the opposite and some of the domestic retail will probably see pressures in
