Im janelle wang. And im jessica aguirre. Were talking about all that haze, tracking that smoke north of us right into the bay area. Its triggering an air quality tomorrow. Air slightly clear in the south bay. The sky is a little bit bluer in walnut creek but you can smell the smoke in parts of the bay area. Our oakland and emeryville cameras you can see look really gray. Joining me is jeff ranieri. It felt like you were in a nonstop barbecue all day long. When do we get to leave the barbecue .

The air quality, all of the bay area remains unhealthy except for the coast. By friday night into sat

A target for what theyll do for decarbonisation. Weve committed to reducing our emissions by 68 . We remain absolutely committed to that target. Here are some of the other countries targets. The eu just 55 . Australia 45 . America a0 . Canada around 20, new zealand 18. So if people want to talk about global leadership, those are the facts that they should be dealing with. The problem with that, Prime Minister, is thats talking about where weve been. No. Were talking about where were going. The targets ive just given you are the 2030 targets. Sure. Thats where were going and were going faster than anyone else. But you as a government have an independent Climate Change committee to advise you on that.

As you would expect, a great deal of concern. The industry has invested billions in this transition and a lot of it has gone into the uk already, the government has backed that. You have seen them invest in the Tata Battery Factory in somerset, mini production in cowley, Electric Vehicle for commercial Vehicle Production in ellesmere port. So weve got mixed messaging when youre investing in there. If you want to attract and continue that investment, you need a strong market. We want to see what is being said, because at the moment we are getting this mixed message about what is it that the government wants.
