nisha krishnan, director for climate resilience africa at the world resources institute, thank you sot to leave you with a giant leap in space history today. these are pictures from the kennedy space center in florida where the first saudi woman has voyaged into space. rayyanah barnawi, a breast—cancer researcher blasted off along with fellow saudi fighter pilot ali al-qarni on what's being called a private chartered flight. thank you for watching, i will leave you with those images. hello. it's been a weekend of mixed fortunes, weather—wise. where we did see the sunshine come through, it's been pleasantly warm. in fact, sunday was the warmest day of the year so far in the uk at 23.3 degrees in the sunshine at porthmadog. but under the cloud across aberdeenshire, we only got to about 12 celsius. so where you see the sunshine coming through, where you see the cloud makes all the difference really this time of year. and through the week ahead, things are looking mostly dry. yes, some warm sunshine around, but variable amounts of clouds. so where you do get the cloudier spells of weather

nisha krishnan, the director for climate resilience, africa at the world resources institute, has beenting more and more evidence to what we're already seeing in terms of impacts in terms of daily lives. i think the ipcc report earlier this year as well sort of showed that we were on not a great track, and ifeel like the latest wmo report is reallyjust sending that message home to us that we do need to do a lot more to be ready for the impacts that are possibly coming our way. that same report also said that likely one of the next five years will be the hottest year on record in terms of recent temperatures. how prepared are we, especially in the areas of the world that you study, for those kinds of temperatures? you know, ithink, unfortunately, we're probably woefully unprepared for the kind of impacts and the sort of heat we might be seeing, the type of floods we might be experiencing, in the nearfuture. i think there is a lot to be done in terms particularly in africa where i work and i mostly focus most of my time on. but i think we're seeing, for example, increasing urbanisation a

world-class institutions turning out stem grads by the tens of thousands. we have all of the resourcesbove ground, and we have lithium and critical minerals with partnerships with indigenous people and we will be able to deliver into the supply chains in a resilient way. volkswagen made the decision to come to canada because, over the last eight years we have been working on environmental and birds with -- environmental standards and pollution, we have been working to get those projects built for the benefit of everyone. we have been investing in a middle-class, not saying everything is broken and you need to burn it down, we have been delivering childcare and a family benefit that gives hundreds of dollars a month tax-free to low income and middle income families. support for our seniors, this kinds of things that ensure that people are confident and optimistic about the future. yes, now the pandemic is tough and people are ground down by high interest rate and the economy. but people are seeing that canada is one of those places, whether it's steelmaking or lithium lines or ai, or qu

world of bio, piracy bio. prospecting is defined in a united nations document as the exploration of plant and animal species for the utilization of their genetic resources. it basically describes companies and institutions looking for new natural substances to use in their products. then in recent decades it's, it's pharmaceutical companies. it's bias to companies regard recalled through companies can or chemical companies as well, or claiming intellectual property rights relating to lourdes. the research and development that they've been doing, and they're doing that through payton's. the idea is that new inventions cost companies, time and money and research to help them make that back patience, give them exclusive rights over that innovation for a set period of time. the bottom that we should have about in system model. oh the industries. od appreciated for dirty set, but it becomes more problematic when traditional knowledge of communities is involved. take the name tree, known as the tree of life. in india, it has bossed medicinal and healing properties, and it can also be used to make organic pesticides and fungicides. in 1995 u. f multinational w r. grace was granted a european patent manime oil

institute. always a pleasure. thank you very much. i think it was a desire to find a new equal place in the modern world and profit from its own natural resources has won the backing of moscow. russia is totally different. i'm not to make the comments while in mozambique the latest leg. if is latest africa to it sounds like a new courtship. africa does not want to return to colonial times. it wants to make the most of the natural resources it possesses and not just to trade raw materials that have been exported from here for centuries. but to make products that will have added value and be in demand. and of course, today's africa is immeasurably more aware of its identity and is increasingly insistently demanding for itself an equal place in the emerging multi polar world order, including 2 proper and fair representation in the un security council, which russia supports hope so to get all of those visits and walls and they can be a pest control is that followed after i think provides very good snapshots of the changes happening within the international system. because many african countries, as we have been reporting through all of this visit,

world, they mean that there is a lot of sophistication behind that. it could be very disruptive in the system and that is why you could see leading banks and leading institutions putting a lot of resources and capabilities into making sure that we keep up with this to make sure that america and the financial system is safe. sonali: to the geopolitics of the cybersecurity issues in the risk you have drawn out, is there anything that can change your view of this mild recession? jane: if something happens on a geopolitical front. something no one anticipated. the war in ukraine had major impact. impact on energy security, food security, the other pieces. we have all learned never to say never anymore and that nothing will surprise us. so yeah if something happens on that front, it could be challenging. let's hope that same minds prevail -- sane minds prevail. sonali: jane, think you for your time. new york, back to you. alix: great work. sonali we'll be back with us in a few minutes. one headline stand out, the u.s. financial system is extremely strong but there will be more consolidation in the banking sector. jon erlichman is coming in as my cohost for the rest of the hour. consolidation
