mr. hayes: thank you very much. the 50th anniversary of earth day next year will be the largest most diverse action i believe, in human history. we plan to engage more than 3 billion people in 190 countries. we have made these kinds of claims before and often done so with some level of trepidation, and in every case it has proven to be more modest than what actually transpired. for the first birthday, we hoped to have millions and in the end we had earth day 1990, we 20 million. aspired to 100 countries and 100 million people, at the end, we people and 140 countries. i'm hoping was again in 2020 we will blow past our goals. more important, 2020 will mark the time when global carbon emissions stop growing and begin to decline. for more than two centuries, annual carbon emissions have been growing and they have their highest levels ever in 2018. worse, carbon emissions actually accelerated after a scientific consensus had developed around climate change. mankind has pumped more carbon into the at

caller: mr. hayes, i have a great admiration for your job, i really do because it is probably one of the hardest, harder than the president's. my question for you is, with all the technology and all the scientists that would have in telling us how global warming affects our climate, why can we turn that same technology to build something that actually reclaims high amounts of carbon in our atmosphere and put it to use? guest: well, we can and have. some of it is natural. in our forests and in our agricultural lands there are ways to mobility away from industrial forestry into sustainable forestry, and from industrial agriculture to agriculture that builds up the amount of carbon in the soil. and there are a lot of those things going on, it is turning increasingly to make economic sense. in addition, i think what you are talking about our mechanical contraptions that would be taking carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere and fixing it, in a form that is relatively stable carbonate.m there are machines tha

rupert hayes has the latestas expected, mr ghosn has been charged with a fourth child, this time of aggravated and also as expected his legal team. as for these latest charges, the specifics are that mr ghosn ordered a subsidiary in the uae to pay millions of dollars to an armani business associate of mr ghosn. at the moment these allegations, we haven't seen any evidence from prosecutors, and it won't be presented until he appears in court. but lawyers here in tokyo are saying that compared to the other three charges, this one looks much more serious. let's have a quick look at the markets, us stocks had little change overnight as investors stayed on the sidelines ahead of quarterly earnings from some major companies, including epson and facebook. —— amazon. let's have a look at the asia pacific markets and how they are faring in early trade. let's ta ke let's take a look at the oil markets, and as mariko 0i mentioned earlier, we saw rising oil prices due to the united states hitting once again on iran. let's have a look at our other top stories... and then samsung delaying the launch of the

a short while ago, mr ghosn issued a statement and in it he said: and he declared that he was: our correspondent in tokyo, rupert wingfield hayesmore on mr ghosn‘s re—arrest. this was something of a surprise because the allegations that mr ghosn has apparently been detained to investigate this morning by tokyo prosecutors are part of an investigation being carried out by renault in france, not by nissan here injapan. it is not clear exactly why prosecutors here in tokyo feel it is their place to rearrest mr ghosn and question him about an investigation that is taking place far away in another country in anotherjurisdiction. nonetheless, they have gone ahead and done so today. we believe the questioning is about an investigation that renault was carrying out into payments made by mr ghosn to an omani businessman in the middle east, the head of a big nissan distributor in oman. the amount quoted by the media is 31 million dollars us and the allegation is that it came directly from mr ghosn‘s personal discretionary ceo fund. again, allegations are that somehow these payments were dubious or dodgy because some of that money may hav

mr ghosn is facing a series of charges of financial misconduct, all of which he denies. our correspondent rupert wingfield—hayesbut ata rupert, out for a second time, but at a price. $4.5 million this time? that is right. it looks like mr ghosn could come out of the tokyo house of detention may be in the next few hours. i understand that his legal team has already posted that 4.5 million us dollars with the tokyo district court, so it is possible that the tokyo prosecutors will appeal against his release. it's also possible that they could of course rearrest him and file new charges, but i think it is most likely, the greatest likelihood now that we will see carlos ghosn walk out of the tokyo has a detention again for out of the tokyo has a detention againfora out of the tokyo has a detention again for a second time sometime in the coming hours. and this is becoming ever more complicated, isn't it? with layer upon layer of charges? yeah, i think we should look at this legal close sort of as a warof look at this legal close sort of as a war of attrition does my case, between mr ghosn‘s legal team and the tokyo p

mr ghosn is no ordinary chairman. since 1999, he has been the driving force betide the alliance between nissan and renault. rupert wingfield hayesunity that this and had to act over mr ghosn. this is very much as was expected, so this was the first chance that this and has had to get carlos ghosn off the board of directors since his arrest last november. even while he has been held in prison and charged with various financial misdeeds, he has remained on the board of directors. last month, while out on bail, he attempted to take part in a previous board of directors meeting at nissan's headquarters. he was not allowed to do that, but clearly nissan wanted to have this extraordinary meeting with shareholders today in order to remove mr ghosn from his last official position at the company that he headed for around 20 years. it has gone ahead and the shareholders have voted to do so, and they have voted to replace mr ghosn on the board of directors with the ceo of renault, a powerful figure from renault remaining on the board at nissan. as people have said, mrghosn is board at nissan. as people have said, mr ghosn is gone. the inte

mr ghosn was released on bail last month following three earlier indictments for financial wrongdoing. he could now face more criminal charges. let's go live to our bureau in tokyo, rupert wingfield—hayesis the latest allegations against him now? well, all we have heard from the tokyo prosecutors' offers is that mr ghosn has been arrested on aggregated breach of trust related toa aggregated breach of trust related to a payment of they say around 5 million us dollars and they haven't given more detail. however we have got lots of other details through lea ks got lots of other details through leaks that have been given to journalists in the japanese media and certainly the picture they are painting is that this is to do with payments made from a discretionary fund controlled partly by mr ghosn to an omani businessman that amounted to around, according to the media reports, around $31 million us over a period of years during his time as ceo of renault and chairman of nissan. the allegation is that some of the money that was given or sent out from the ceo's fund to the omani businessman made its way back into bank accounts or assets that we re into bank accounts or assets that were in part

mr ghosn is facing a series of charges of financial misconduct — all of which he denies. rupert wingfield hayess in the next half an hour? we expect him to leave jail, presumably. yes, i think that is what is going to happen, it appears to have been held up by the fact the prosecutors office has appealed the bail decision. the tokyo district court decided around lunchtime today to grant him bail for a second time, setting it at $4.5 million this time, his legal team posted that money, pretty much straightaway, obviously prepared for this, they did not have to scrabble around for $4.5 million. they had it ready to go. prosecutors then appealed the decision and that, we think, is being heard right now. i expect, sticking my neck out, i expect the district court to reject that appeal, so, his release on bail will go ahead, whether it will go ahead today or be delayed until tomorrow, it's hard to say but i do expect carlos ghosn to be released on bail very soon. looking at markets. mixed fixture in asia, one of the reasons japan did really well, compared to the rest of asia, the dollar is at a high
