and some people, sylvia, like yourself and other groups like greenpeace, are suggesting much like with the tobacco industry, a ban on advertisements, not just for the green washing, but from what i understand, a general band that they shouldn't be able to promote these products anymore. is that a bit radical in your mind? i think that the parallel here is really fitting. i'm with the parlor with the tobacco and we have a product. oh, you know, we have companies that we know are promoting products and activities that we know are harmful. there's that never growing body of evidence that says that, and we know that this is the major cause of the climate crisis that we're leaving at through right now. we know what we should do to address is climate crisis and steel. we see this product, these companies activities being promoted to and you know, advertise at every corner we have done the same for tobacco. years ago i, we knew that there was a product that was harmful. and we simply bond at the advertisement of this product . and considering the urgency of decline, cries as decline with an e

kate blagojevic, head of climate at greenpeace, _ level up.says she'll address the delegates in a pre—recorded video message instead. james reynolds has this report. on tuesday last week, the queen hosted a reception for business leaders at windsor. the next morning, her trip to northern ireland was cancelled and she stayed overnight in hospital. yesterday, she gently resumed her public schedule. a video audience with the new korean ambassador. this was then followed by a palace statement. i'm quite sure what she's got at the back of her mind is that she wants to be absolutely fine and fighting fit on november 14, which is remembrance sunday. that is the most sacred day in her calendar. but i think to go to glasgow to stand in a room full of coughing, wheezing delegates from all over the world is probably an engagement too far. preparations for the climate change conference have been of keen interest to the queen.

here's the head of greenpeace international.t into how a small group of coal, oil and meat producing countries are putting the profits of those industries in front of science and in front of the planet. i think what's shocking, or what needs to be seen is how the depths to which countries like australia, saudi arabia and japan will go to try and stop a focus on the phase out of fossil fuels. that's needed and we also need to see that in the glasgow outcome. this has all raised questions about the impact of this lobbying. the countries we've discussed about are trying to alter chapters in the un's respected climate reports. here's someone who works on them. they are invited to comment on those chapters, and of course many of them are incredibly helpful comments, but of course some of them, as you can tell from the report, really start lobbying. they are trying to influence the science to try and actually perhaps improve their country's standing or their economy. the really interesting thing is, of course, that has no effect. the

meanwhile a major leak of documents published by greenpeace reveal how brazil, argentina, australia,an, saudi arabia, and opec tried to water down a key united nations scientific report ahead of the cop26 climate talks in glasgow. in one comment, a senior australian government official rejected the conclusion that coal-fired power plants should be phased out to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. this is john sauven, executive director of greenpeace uk. >> they deleted the fact that they are a major coal producer. this is particularly bizarre because i think australia is the fifth largest coal producer in the world and is the first or second, but indonesia is the largest coal exporter. it also has a big coal industry in terms of the power from coal inside of atraliatsel there are no plans to actually phase out coal during the next three decades. i think that it is quite extraordinarthat australia should say please delete this. amy: back in the united states, the house of representatives voted on thursday to declare former trump aide steve bannon in contempt of congress for defying a sub

in the words of the boss of greenpeace here in france, jean—francois julliard, what you've just said quote, "a festival of false solutions and wishful thinking." the idea that you can invest billions in hydrogen, in nuclear in all sorts of hopes for the future of technology, while avoiding taxing carbon in a realistic way right now is, according to many environmentalists, simply wishful thinking. but they are right. so why are you doing it? we need to tax co2 emissions, and that's why we are the only majority which refused to reduce the level of taxation on fossil fuels and once again, all the opposition in france proposed to reduce the level of taxation on fossil fuels. we are really, i think, consistent with our key political line, which is to improve the competitiveness of the french economy while reducing the level of co2 emissions. but i share the point of view you just expressed. we will need on the coming years to increase the level of taxation on co2 emissions. and that's why also we will need to introduce a carbon border adjustment mechanism, because i cannot explain to the
