have in britain is very different from the poverty of people surviving on a dollar a day in sub-saharan africa. as long as we respect the differences between the sorts of poverty i think it's absolutely right that ngos, charities and voluntary groups campaign on poverty issues here in the uk as well as overseas. >> in a debate last year i highlighted how four of the services, including in the village of new church, i think might be unique in the whole country for having or service when it rains. so does the prime minister share my joy when they cut the red tape holding back the roll out that is so desolate need for businesses intending all across the uk? >> i certain enjoy my honorable friend in his campaign to make sure that all of the art world community's have access to superfast broadband. it isn't just an issue of money and this government is putting the money and. are also planning issue because some councils have held up giving permission to the necessary cabinets and other things that have to be put in place at street and village level and that's what our planning reform announced by m

it won't be one place, but it's possible that countries in sub-saharan africa could become the new destinationfor textile production which would stabilize the economy, provide jobs for young people, so while i rode a very pessimistic article in the atlantic monthly on africa in 1994, the things that i worry about played out in the late '90s and in the early part of the last decade in terms of wars throughout the region. but now i see sub-saharan africa on a much more positive trend. >> it is interesting that the chinese seem to agree with you. >> in the second row here on the side of. >> yes, ma'am. >> in the midcentury, nicholas pechman said that geography was were most important factors in foreign affairs because it was the most permanent. this year, we just saw the arctic ice cap drop down another 750 square kilometers and it appears to be opening more this session. what do you think this trend will mean, not next year or even next decade, but say in a generation as it becomes more more ocean in russia and north america. >> he is very provocative, and he was a man, who by the way, when it w
