and then there's europe, including greenland, a danish territory, and norway. according to markland tain, of the university of cronsa, china has adopted a cautious approach to avoid upsetting the arctic superpowers. china based a lot of its early arctic policy on the need to develop scientific cooperation. so i would say scientific diplomacy was very much a 1st step in a lot of china's arctic diplomatic engagement to establish its scientific legitimacy. china 1st had to explore the polar regions in the field. 30 years ago, they quit themselves with an ice breaker or ukrainian cargo ship was converted into a research vessel and given a new di square along the snow dragon, soon tie a chinese professor of arctic t or politics recalls the ship's launch for all the issue along a goes to a scientific is expertise and that the also hell, a kind of semi ceremony for the thought, ah, china could every appearance of the sway along into a public events. these is maybe also part of the, a very nice building for the chinese public. her to the house, a bernice and not only t

so i think it's also a lot of fear in norway. what can happen, which was that sanctions that would impede russian trade with iran could not be imposed. rather, the thing that the western countries agree to was that, that activities that entail russia being involved in the j. c. k, for instance, shipping out as l e u. things of that nature that do also entail certain financial transactions. dot's would be exempted from the western sanctions, but not russia's general trade with you on a russian general trade with the bar is very minimal. it's not a big economic factor, but it was clearly that the russians were trying to create some challenges, but they have been resolved at this point. what's remaining now is only the issues between the u. s. and the warm sauce. well, let me just ask you that the united states, why would it not try to, you know, to hold the g p o, a hostage, a little bit longer to try to get some of the sanctions lifted your quote rights. because with the j. c, q i, you will have iranian oil coming back to the mark

so for instance, in the norway lake sequence, the production actually went to norway and they filmed realfrozen lake in norway. but as with any production, when you shoot throughout the day, the footage looks different from shot to shot. there was kind of one or maybe two shots which everyone was happy with the lighting conditions. we had a task — to try and match the lighting across all of the shots, and in order to do that, we simulated a cg world where the lighting was exactly the same, and then we used a number of techniques to copy and mimic what we were seeing in the computer. so, rather than — we still used the photography and built on top of it rather than replacing it whole hog, but we used the simulation to tell us what that should look like. we had an amazing special effects team that really did — and a stunt team that really did jump land rovers through the air, and when we needed to replace things like that for lighting or forfilling in the background, we kept exactly that stunt. so, on a james bond film, no—one really wants to resort to c6! stunts and things like that,
