imperial college london is home to the grantham institute, which is the central hub of world weatherentists around the world, whose aim is to deliver rapid analysis of extreme weather and how much more likely it is because of climate change. well, with me now is dr fredi 0tto, who leads the world weather attribution group. i want to ask first of all, the most important question is what did you learn about the link between that uk heatwave and climate change? i think the main results from that study were that this heatwave would have been four degrees cooler, if it would've happened at the beginning of the industrial revolution — or in other words, that a heatwave like this has been made at least ten times more likely because of human—induced climate change. so, basically, we would not have seen a heatwave like this if it wasn't for climate change. how are you able to do an analysis and come up with the results so quickly? because i can remember the time when it would take months, even sometimes years, to find the link between climate change and extreme weather and yet this, your stud

site into a military base for launching attacks. geraldine thomas is a radiation expert from imperial college london. she joins me now. dr. thomas, welcome to d. w. thanks for joining us. how concerned are you or indeed should we be about the shelling at the separation nuclear power plant? i think there's a concern for the workforce working there. basically point to the gun. you know, it's never wise to do anything stupid around any major infrastructure, whether that's a chemical or a nuclear plants. but i think in terms of potential worry for people further afield than the immediate area. i don't think this is a major concern for us. these places are extremely well protected and even a direct hit on one of the to react is probably would not really mean that there will be a breach and radiation would be released. if that's the case, then it would only be the local area that would suffer the consequences as we saw around snowball. it was the local area that really suffered any consequences for a field. you're not going to get significant amounts of radiation. so i think in terms of western eur

hi, dr. gerald and thomas radiation expert from imperial college london. thank you very much for time today. thank you. as the war, right, as on in ukraine, russian forces continue to fight and die in battle every day. but while we, while the fight for supremacy on the battlefield continues, it seems the fight for the hearts and minds of the russian people has already been won. support for the war remains high. so to do levels of indifference holsters a trying to find out why. on the face of it, it's a summer, much like any other in moscow. the fact that russian troops are fighting, killing and dying in ukraine, seems far removed from life in the russian capital. i still was with i was thinking about and change anything or to what extent does the situation have to do with me? remembering from nothing's up to me are you we can only look on smoking and wait for the outcome. what is not that in him? yes. i am waiting for victory brushing composure while the kremlin continues to attack its neighbour. despite the international sanctions that put the nation's fu

the imperial college model is a good example.hey make strong assumptions about the ability of people to comply with draconian lockdown orders and assume essentially that they will be effective. we see they are not. i am most convinced to date, by comparisons across countries. you can try to be careful about this, the most careful comparisons across countries tend to find that lockdowns did not save very many lives from covid. at least over the short run, and probably over the two-year period since they were first instituted they did not save very many lives. you compare countries that were more strict versus countries that were less strict in a systematic way trying their best to look at some national regions that are similar to each other and so on. you tend to find -- is much more difficult to find an empirical effect of lockdowns. there was a meta-analysis by john hopkins that so almost no -- that showed almost no benefit of lockdowns. on the other side, we do not know yet, in part the full longtail harm of lockdowns has not c

analysis of bringing michael black, who is the director of the center, a nuclear engineering at imperial college lend. and enjoying us from there. hello there, michael. thanks so much for being on this news. i want to begin with the current status of the plans. information has been difficult to verify, but it appears that facility has been attacked several times. now, what are the implications of that? as well as the stand, the, the, the attacks haven't actually directly struck the react to themselves, the prison, keeping consumer buildings and also the power lines. the reactions provide their act as a power to, to function ok. so now we're hearing that russia has been able to, or is working towards redirecting the power to crimea, given the vast area between the 2 areas for want of a better word, how they're able to do that. so it's not that difficult electricity be transported . i mean, most companies have grids electricity you get, comes from a power plant, patch, hundreds, kilometers away. i don't think that's, that's a problem. i think the concern, if there is a, is the may interrupt the of

this was based on disease models from the imperial college over there in england, later found unusablethink few men in modern history did more irreparable harm in america than dr. fauci. i saw the interview with neil cavuto. he appears to play revisionist history, he knows darn well his advice constantly from the bully pulpit from tv, white house, terrified americans into following some of the most destructive and arbitrary policies of the last 50 years. unfortunately we're paying the price. he needs to be held accountable for his policy advice. he is going to retire in december. he has a 350,000-dollar a year pension. if that is not taken away from him, it will be one of the big straffties of our travesties of our time, liz. elizabeth: covid-19 was still not discovered in nature. we don't know if it was created out of a china lab. >> not to mention gain of function research. elizabeth: funding supervirus research with taxpayer money with little oversight. talking about weaponizing making things like the ebola virus airborne in a more powerful way. ford o'connell, good to see you. the

at imperial college, london, he explains how russia could redirect the power to crimea. it's not that difficult electricity be transported. i mean, most companies have grids, electricity you get, comes from a problem, patch, hundreds, and kilometers away. i don't think that's, that's a problem. i think the concern, if there is a, is the, it may interrupt the outside power to the, to the reactance. do you need that power to maintain cooling, to the reactance or backup systems? so mentioned the diesel generators that will kick in, shut off power be stopped, and as long as they function, then everything's fine. well, i suppose, i suppose it's encouraging that the russians want to use the electricity that does imply that lighter wants to damage it, but never now in this they are in control of us energy supply and and so, so you're, it would, would get less and it's already struggling, so it's an issue but it's, but as i understand it, most of their act is on running. have been running. i don't think europe is depending point it has a bigger problems with regards to the energ

have become increasingly stressed by climate change, according to research by scientists at imperial collegehe rail network yesterday, with another strike planned for tomorrow. we're joined now by transport secretary grant shapps. thank you very much for your time this morning. what is your assessment about how many people and the effect of the strikes today? it is certainly enormously destructive, particularly in the capital today, which is where the strikes are focused. but look, overall, i don't think there is any reason to be having these strikes at all. a very fair pay offer has gone on the table. across the wider network of 8% in two years, in some cases no compulsory redundancies. in return for modernising work practices that should have gone out with the ark. if only the union bosses would put that offer to their members, i'm pretty sure the strike would be over. in fact, in one of the smaller unions, the tssa, they did put it to their members, their members accepted it with over 70% voter we know it goes to members they will most likely accept it and get on with things. most likely

tom: paul wilmot and the others from years ago, mostly out of imperial college, have said it raisingis there value to volume analysis. do you study volume? i don't. >> it is a good indicator to understand whether or not you can trade a market and whether or not your sizing is -- the empirical documents are predictive. there may be exceptions but volume is still a key metric as it tells you something about whether or not the trade ability of individual markets is there. that is how we tend to think about it. lisa: liz mccormick of bloomberg news talks about a paper you wrote how pigs flew, at least in your view, have you closed that trade out or are you trying to short bonds here especially after the rally? >> that is a big question. we saw in june a big spike and crosscorrelation spiking as well. signals and bonds have dissipated. the reason we wrote this paper is we wanted to clarify that shorting bonds is not a fluke if we continue to see rising rates. but in fact, when you think about a rising rate environment, you have to consider the shape of the curve on whether or not there ma
