they sing in icelandic iceland has closed more than 90% of its gender gap.iceland will close the gender gap? my ambition is for iceland to be first to close the gender gap and hopefully by 2030. and iceland should — and already does — lead on that front. that's an ambitious goal, i realise that. but when you say "closing the gender gap by 2030," i mean, that's very soon. it is. do you think that's realistic? probably not a realistic goal, but we don't need realistic goals now. we need courageous goals, ambitious goals. we are facing massive challenges the world over, and empowering women, closing the gender gap is a big part of solving them, if not the key to solving them. do you feel optimistic about the changes that the new generation, you know, your daughter's generation, will bring? absolutely. my daughters are so well educated about consent. they will hopefully take that into their relationship if they have one in the future. you don't need to have, like, a husband and two children, and a house, or like... you can be... 0ra wife. i will. .. you know...

sofia bettiza, bbc news, iceland. tens of thousands of calls for help. while most callers are respectful, reports of sexist, homophobic and racist abuse towards staff have increased by more than a third since 2019. our reporter daniel o'donoghue has been speaking to operators at a 999 call centre in manchester. this is a recording of a 999 call received by james just an hour into his morning shift. i took a particular call for a gentleman whose mum had an itch. the gentleman spoke about me arranging a taxi. happens all the time, we remind people that we're not a taxi. it must have frustrated him. he just started hurling abuse at me. it doesn't normally faze me, but on this particular call, it became personal, it was very homophobic and i could barely get a word in. and all i was doing was triaging his mum. are you done? i was shocked. you get called all sorts and you tolerate certain things and certain words, and there's certain buzz words that will affect certain people differently. but by the end of this call, i mea

i i know we have had initiatives in iceland, my icelandic, my icelandic vegetables, icelandic productst we've never had an initiative saying don't want all the other products. it is a choice. but i just saying i think one of the most challenging things that we're looking at at the moment is less trust in the world. sometimes too much faith in government doing everything, leading the way. we need to have more trust in the private sector's and companies, and companies coming up with solutions. if you are talking about climate change, we'll talk about this just before we started this panel. i think the major change in the conversation about climate came a couple years ago when the companies showed up. because you can try to regulate your way out of everything, but nothing happens until you get the private sector on board. i think one of the challenges we are facing and the whole world is facing is you have to have more collaboration between the public sector and the private sector, and you need to have more trust between those sectors. sectors. also between nations. that's a great segue t

but iceland also has a tradition of working the find. the clean down is sent to the workshop of rog, not osh kosh daughter and her daughter for further processing. they use the down to make the world's most valuable, exclusive and warm as well, costing up to $10000.00 euros each. their customers include princesses, the dalai lama and others. what makes their down so special is it's one retention. oh punches. and the magic of either down is that it clings together. it does a separate o eval humphrey there. what is in the air in the cold it expand secret pulse of it. and when it's hot, it contracts up the most and doesn't insulate as much as i can hit the lift and just make it good. and so the centuries old tradition of either down farming lives on an iceland, a tradition in harmony with nature, helping both humans and animals they're up to 22 meters long, but only around 2 meters wide, so called narrow boats. they were built for the narrow canals in britain where they used to transport various goods. nowadays, many of these unusual vessel

we're in the mountains of iceland. and up here, in a land of volcanoes, something extraordinary is happening. c02, the main greenhouse gas responsible for heating up our world, is being pulled from the atmosphere. this is mammoth. it's trying to save the world. so what we are doing here is we are capturing c02 from the atmosphere. five chambers are continuously pulling air through to a filter material, collecting the c02. how much c02 will these machines pull out of the atmosphere? this plant, in total, when it's finished, can pull out 36,000 tonnes. so 36 million kilograms of c02 per year. it would take a lot of places like this to make a difference. we're each responsible for about 4.7 tonnes of c02 a year. so this private company would capture the emissions of about 7,000 people. once the c02 is removed, this place has a second trick. we dissolve c02 in water when we inject it. so it's basically sparkling water... right. ..that goes into the subsurface. fizzy water. fizzy water, exactly. that's what goes in. right.
