there is a tendency towards warming that's it has a particular focus in the northern part so so scandinavia is also one of the hot points there. and in addition to that there is a tendency to have a change in the way for conditions so what we have investigated ourselves in our institute is what the model say about the heavy rain falls and they in scandinavia indeed are projected to increase quite drastically is there anything that we can do to prevent these drastic changes well of course there is all these programs to to reduce to mitigate climate change but i think that will be not be enough so measures taken to adept and to adapt properly certainly something that we need to do are they man made then i mean you see often politicians over in the u.s. who are very very adamant that this climate change is not my mates and it is absolutely i mean dare they don't deny that what you think well what we see is a slow progress in the mean to was more extreme conditions but there is not just this slow increase going along with me house gases but there is also the decadal changes the climate is not c

they are say nothing, what we want is for the world to look more like scandinavia.et's talk about scawnd naive yeah and their tax rates. the way scandinavia pays for their social programs, the way they pay for that is by high tax rates and nearly everyone. they have a top marginal tax rate of 60%. that doesn't just go to the rich people. that taxes people who make it american equivalent of $60,000 a year. every dollar over $60,000 you would be taking home, the government would be taking $60 percent. they should say what we want is a giant government and we want the middle class to pay for it with high taxes. kennedy: when the middle class gets a whiff of that, there is going to be a rebellion. when they go back and vote the communists out of office, it hurts lower and middle income earners. >> even democrats can't stomach those kind of tax hikes. you see any time they try to do medicare for all. in bernie sanders's home state of vermont, they canceled the plan to do single payer because the taxes were too high. kennedy: when you ask bernie sanders, i understand a lo

within a few months, the countries of western europe and scandinavia were free and independent. for the countries occupied by russia, stalin had other ideas. throughout eastern europe, elections were held. but the russians had placed the communists in key government positions and in the secret police. within a short time, the non-communist leaders had been liquidated. russia had swallowed up eight european countries without firing another shot other than those of the execution squads. great britain and the united states protested that these countries had ben: worst -- had ced by force and russia had broken her treaty. russia ignored the protest. stalin knew the greater part of the allied forces had gone home, leaving their arms to rest in the field of europe. in the west, men were impatient to be demobilized. the war was finished and they had other work to do. the russians had not demobilized. they retained overwhelmingly the largest force in europe. the small group of men in the kremlin long ago dedicated themselves to the spreading of communism by all possible means. they knew

in the near future well this is been going on for quite a while now and the drought in parts of scandinavia started in march and things since then of really only got worse with no rain. and then on top of that the temperatures in the last week have been soaring and things have just got worse and with worse in the next week there's not much chance of things getting better it looks like the temperatures will be over thirty degrees for just about every day today when it's actually the chance of seeing some thunderstorms and you might think great we're going to see some rain that will help us but it could also hinder things because a thunderstorm could also bring us the more lightning that could spark off small fires and we could also see some very gusty winds with those storms enough course could spread things and it's not just sweden it's also norway finland western russia all been experiencing unusually hot and dry conditions why what's happening here we've got an area of high pressure that stuck over the top and that's just stayed in place for an exceptionally long time and that it has trap

they figure this out by looking at studies on in canada and in scandinavia countries. noise about to make this. that changed a lot of the momentum of the project. even though the aec had carefully not designed studies notest that here, i think accidentally either, but these guys are aware of the literature from abroad showing these problematic food webs. up a started to back little bit. simultaneously, the eskimo protester was getting national play. the new york times was on it, time magazine, the conservation movement had a whole issue on it. three or four or five or six magazines were talking about. now it is starting to be in public relations terms, costly for daca to press with this. they probably could've done it because they've done everything one did to do before but i think it became too costly of a pr problem for them to continue to timeit and at the same there were developments happening. this is getting delay year after year now because of these protests in the length of the studies. they are during more testing in nevada and they are ruining some things the

end of the week, there is a big swathe of high pressure from the west of us all the way towards scandinavia it is so settled. still the chance of patchy rain towards the north, north—west of scotland, and an isolated shower cannot be ruled out, perhaps into the far south—west on thursday, but the temperatures are starting to creep up again, and a little bit further on friday, still with quite a bit of sunshine to be had, just dotted about and isolated, but possibly heavy and thundery showers, but more spots getting into the 20s and the further south you are, it could be near to 30. we will carry the heat forward into next weekend, even though low pressure starts to approach us from the north—west, it looks like it will hold off high—pressure maintaining plenty of dry, settled, quite sunny weather, and very warm to hot weather again going into next weekend. temperatures in the hotspots once more will be near 30 celsius but it is into the following week, it looks like low pressure from the atlantic will maybe have more of an impact on our weather, and there is a greater chance of seeing somet

from the arctic circle and scandinavia to california, and north africa, an exceptional heatwave has beenthern hemisphere for several weeks. japan has a new record temperature of 41 degree celsius. there is a very serious side to this. more than a dozen people have died from heat—related illnesses and thousands more are in hospital. a little earlier, i spoke to australia's national heatwave project director, john nairn. i asked him how this heatwave compares to that of 1976. i think it's quite comparable, at least we know that that's what struck western europe in ‘76. of course, we don't have the information from asia and north america for that particular time either. that's possibly why it's a little unusual, because we have had a series of heat waves around the northern hemisphere. cities are particularly struck, many cities are just not coping very well at all. i think it possibly is a story that extends beyond the cities as well. the driver for this heatwave is rather large for each area. so it's a very awkward environment to try and function in. the minimum temperatures are actually
