earlier this week saw the prime minister announced those new licences for oil and gas drilling in the north seamental groups and others. but there's also a course a security aspect to what has happened here and the police in north yorkshire told us firstly they were responding to an ongoing protest incident at an address in the village with the prime minister is houses, they say they are at the scene now and managing the situation. the protesters seem to be staying put for the time being and the prime minister and his family are not there. they are on holiday or going on holiday to california as he said yesterday in an interview. qm. yesterday in an interview. 0k, jonathan. _ yesterday in an interview. 0k, jonathan. i— yesterday in an interview. 0k, jonathan, ijust _ yesterday in an interview. 0k, jonathan, i just think - yesterday in an interview. 0k, jonathan, i just think it's - jonathan, ijust think it's important to note that the bbc doesn't usually use video film by campaign groups but we are on this story to help you understand the serious security concerns raised and we are showing thos

basically the north sea output is forecast to decline. that is the government's own forecast.t would make a slight change and i think this is really about trying to draw an oil coloured line, as you might say, between conservative policies and labour policies. conservatives want to paint label policies as dangerous, leading to blackouts and job losses but the reality is the north sea has been shedding jobs for years. the workforce is halved over 20 years because northey is a depleted basin, not much oil there, poor quality stuff. expensive to get out. and we are at the stage where global oil and gas demand, will plateau very soon and start to decline. we appreciate _ and start to decline. we appreciate your - and start to decline. we appreciate your thoughts on that. we shall be keeping across those meetings today and update you as we get any details. it's a very busy time for earnings news and among those revealing how much money they're making is starbucks. the world's biggest coffee chain says it made revenues of $9.2 billion in the third quarter. that is up i2% on the year

but what these people are saying, these protesters, is that they're angry at the 100 new north sea oilthat they're worried about? well, the government issued these licences, as i said, a few days ago, arguing that they are vital to both secure britain's energy reserves in the years ahead, particularly with all the instability that we see around the world, but also to help britain meet its 2015 net zero target. but it's a very, very controversial decision. the labour party have said it's a it's a huge mistake and blows a hole in the government's environmental credentials. campaigners like greenpeace say it's the very last thing the government should be doing now, which is to be taking more fossil fuels out of the out of the north sea. so it is a very live political issue. and what we have seen today is one prominent pressure group responding with their own direct action. the pop star lit so has... the singer known for her body positive message has called the last few days got wrenchingly difficult and overwhelmingly disappointing. our entertainment correspondent has spoken to the three

the north sea oil and gas that he is helping to encourage is actually overwhelmingly exported.of what's left in the north sea is oil — goes to international markets and is sold there. so it's not helping us with our energy security and it's not helping to displace imports. it also risks adding to uk emissions, say many climate scientists and environmentalists. they argue the planet—warming carbon dioxide from these new projects will breach the country's climate targets. so are carbon capture and storage projects part of the solution? carbon capture and storage takes c02 from the atmosphere or industrial plants like this gas—fired power station. when the gas is burned, the c02 is separated out and then it's pumped underground to be stored in empty gas and oil reservoirs. the government has announced today it will fund a project at st fergus, on the north—east coast of scotland, and another on the humber. it's already announced investment in plants on teesside and on the mersey. none of these have been built yet and it will be many years before they will be capable of trapping an
