We can now return to our top story and thats the uns latest warning on Climate Change and the effects of Global Warming joining us now live from the u. N. Headquarters in new york is the Prime Minister wrong way. Prime minister great to have you on the program thank you very much for taking the time to speak to us but i want to ask you about starting with the climate protests we saw on friday when millions of young people mostly young people took to the streets calling on people like you World Leaders policymakers and Industry Leaders to safeguard their future how did that make you feel and has that motivated you any more ahead of this Climate Summit. Well it does i think its. Both appreciative and important that young people moving the climate agenda that they are restless because they own the future and its important that we listen to what they have to say of course i can understand that young people feel that everything goes to so i think we are seeing new innovations new technologies things moving forward but i think its too slow we have to accelerate the progress we have to increase the activities and of course there are countries who are doing too little and there are all of us can do more to make sure that we are not increasing the warmth of the this world more than 1. 5 degrees sure speaking of doing more theres no question that norway has a great reputation when it comes to its own Environmental Policies but at the same time norwegian gas accounts for about a quarter of gas consumption in the u. S. Youre one of the biggest exporters of oil and gas for full fuels make up a huge part of your economy would it be it be easier when it said a more correct mess is just to stop drilling for oil. Yes but on the other hand you know we do know is produce in a way that the c o 2 emissions are quite low compared to most other productions we have very high levels of of taxation on the c o 2 emission during the po and the process and then of course if you look at the intermediate period in the future the knowledge amount you know of producing is natural gas and we are supplying europe with natural gas that makes a transition from a coal based economy or towards and low emission economy is year because its only half the c o 2 emissions coming from natural gas compared to coal. All the economies will need to stabilize to beside the real Renewable Energy sources so i think closing you know over the night is a very wrong on so to this but its of course putting a price on carbon making sure that the that the fossil fuels that are use of those with the least c o 2 emissions for example natural gas sure while you are all production. Environmental guidelines are remarkable most of carbon emission comes from consumption not necessarily production so are you going to push for narrowing the amount of oil you produce oil and fossil fuels you produce in light of the fact that it is consumption and usage of that product that is contributing to the pollution of the environment. Well Norwegian Oil production has been no word naturally because we have not found that much Oil Last Year so we peaked too early 2000 on our production what we now have is a more and more gas oriented system and of course the cost so high i think we have to push for more new technologies more more when your balls invest small our largest oil company. Is know in investing much more in. Ocean based when farms that means that we are using the knowledge we have in that industry over to new areas but i think its its not so to know which importations will push politically for decreasing the development of the oil and gas but we do see a future where we will need to find there are. Ghosts coming from other areas than oil and gas in the future because the price will be higher explorations will be lowered and we have fewer areas that are found im looking ahead to the Climate Summit and the target of lowering or making most countries Carbon Neutral by 2050 which is in about 30 years its a really realistic for countries to completely restructure their Energy Consumption by the in that time are you really expecting you and your compatriots really expecting that this is a target that can be reached. Well being called more neutral means that you can still use some have some emissions of carbon if you can use the natural forest trees the oceans and other things to absorb more the c o 2 so we need a lot of innovations to be able to be there in 2050 but we have to do this to make sure that the imprint of the Climate Change is not that big for the future i think its its a good economics these days for World Leaders to see that in the long run if we dont control the Climate Change we will have more economic down times for store Economic Growth we will have more catastrophe will have more refugees we will need to invest more and resilience in our societies and we will have to prepare more for the large changes that the weather system that changes will happen to a lot of countries including my own where we see that but i come from a no where we find that the weather and the rain is tough for its more it creates more avalanches so when you do need to do something about this sure yes and on that point you know nori is close to the Arctic Circle that last years have been melting sea levels have been rising what is now redoing to mitigate that are to counter the effects of Climate Change particularly in that region. Well what we really have working on is of course to make a municipality is more resilient is to look at where where are the areas for. The more harsh weather and the weather that can make changes what we see is of course heavy rains and and also last year was the longest crossed period that we have had for a long long time so we had Severe Damage on agricultural parts of the country which is very new to know where it was at a much more stable climate up until now. But what we see is that we will have to build differently we have to build in different areas a lot of more ways mountainous a 97 percent of our countrys mountain areas so there will be a lot of sleep science and we will have to get to build differently and build in different sites in the future to make sure that that peoples homes. Taken by different avalanches be so we do have to work on all of these but and then we were working on the no vision economy being less dependent on carbon and of course we have a probably one of the worlds most ambitious transport systems to become more carbon free in the future thank you very much Prime Minister on our solberg thank you its been great to get you on the program thank you very much. Thank you. Well we have plenty more still ahead on this news hour including crucial talks investor israels president begins consultations to decide who should lead the new government.

There will be a 2nd round of meetings like this on monday after which at some stage over the course of the next week or so he will have to decide to whom he will give the 1st opportunity to form a Coalition Government if that fails then it may well go to a 2nd attempt perhaps even a 3rd and then the thing looming behind all of it that president rivlin says he wants to avoid at all costs a 3rd election.

The excursions proved so popular. Within 20 years he was selling to us to Continental Europe the middle east and the United States but the modern day company has been under intense financial pressure rescued from near bankruptcy 8 years ago and how people book their holidays has added to the companys plight high street shops have been facing stiff competition from the internet and while Package Holidays like those from thomas cook often provide good value for many consumers are now shopping around Online Booking their accommodation and flights separately to create a prospective ravel experience despite being a mainstay in the British Travel Industry Analysts say the companys struggles to compete thomas cook is im over this brand it has incredible heritage but im afraid in the 21st century in the a roches competition of the travel industry that counts for nothing or what matters these do you have a profitable business and sadly in the case of thomas we know the answer is no.

Irans president has told western powers to leave security in the gulf to regional nations tensions are high after a series of attacks including a missile and drone strike on Saudi Oil Facilities<\/a> blamed on iran u.

President says next month will bring dramatic progress to the defense relationship between india and america trump announced a large military drill with india its an unusual joint rally with the indian Prime Minister<\/a> Narendra Modi<\/a> the events in houston dubbed how the mo d. Was a rare show of support for a foreign leader on u. S. Soil. Now the u. S. Congress may be forced to pursue impeachment if its confirmed that President Trump<\/a> pressured ukraine to investigate the democratic president ial hopeful joe biden thats according to u. S. House Intelligence Committee<\/a> chairman adam schiff u. S. Media reports claim that donald trump asked the ukrainian president to investigate biden over allegations that he uses prince position as Vice President<\/a> to help this on the phone call was reportedly the subject of a complaint by an unnamed whistleblower trump insists hes done nothing wrong. As far as my conversation was perfect it was a perfect conversation it was it couldnt have been any better but well make a determination about how to release it releasing it saying what we said was an absolutely perfect conversation and problem is when you speak in a foreign leaders you dont want foreign leaders to. Feel that they shouldnt be speaking openly and good you have to be talking to people and the same thing for an american president you want them to be able to express themselves without knowing that not every single word is going to be going out and going out all over the world and our correspondent mike hanna joins us now from washington d. C. Mike so it doesnt seem like this issue of the ukraine phone call can just be swept under the rug. Certainly not to its gaining momentum we heard from the chairman of the house Intelligence Committee<\/a> adam schiff making very clear that he is going to insist that the contents of that complaint are given to congress for the oversight as legally that it is obliged to do weve also heard from the head of the house nancy pelosi as expressing her concerns sending a letter to both democrats and republicans saying that the complaint must be subject to congressional oversight President Trump<\/a> as you heard continues to downplay the whole situation and attempt to deflect any allegations by bringing up joe bidens attempt to get rid of the ukrainian prosecutor back in 2016 well biden himself has pointed out that that was at the request of the Obama Administration<\/a> along with the European Union<\/a> weve also had adam schiff tweeting in the course of the day that if President Trump<\/a> is not concerned about the contents of that conversation then why is he withholding it from public it is the white House Counsel<\/a> it would appear who is preventing this complaint from getting to congress for the Oversight Committee<\/a> to take a look at and like it seems the acting director of National Intelligence<\/a> is set to appear before the Oversight Committee<\/a> on thursday so what is the likelihood that he actually well.
