I am probably going to try to answer this in the most serious way. In the 2018 apcc report, where we were told to have a 50 50 chance of holding the warming to 1. 5, we had to reduce emissions by about 50 by 2030. Ipcc emissions by about 50 by 2030. Ipcc report. That is a global number, a global number. And sitting here and listening to your newscast before i got on, and basically you are telling a story about the apocalypse caused by the coronavirus, where one third of a percent of the vaccines went to poor countries, that is kind of a prelude to the situation we are going to face going forward, the fact of the matter is it is relatively easy for a wealthy country like the united states or great britain to reduce its emissions by 50 by 2030. But its very, very difficult for a country like South Africa or india to do the same while not locking itself into. �. , into. And underdeveloped state. Into. And underdeveloped State 0k into.

What do you think the us should pledge, if it is actually proposing to do its fair share, actually proposing to do its fairshare, relative actually proposing to do its fair share, relative to its size, relative size, but also its political influence . The fair share its political influence . The fair Share Question its political influence . The fair Share Question is its political influence . The fair Share Question is a its political influence . Tue fair Share Question is a really good one. Im a member of a team that has written a fair Share Ndc to be contrasted to the official one. Its calculated on the basis of historical responsibility and capacity, the one we use and the top line, which has been fairly widely endorsed within the united states, including baby climate Action Network of the united states, is a domestic reduction of 70 . Including by the climate Action Network. And Technology Support to poorer countries to yield and equivalent 125 more. We calculate for the united states to do its fair share of a true global emergency mobilisation, it would cost about 800 Billion over the decade. And i want to clarify one thing about that, only one third of that is for the carbonisation, or what we call mitigation. Another 30s for adaptation support, and another third is for loss damage support. Another third. You have to remember that geopolitically as well as morally, in order to make the claimant transition, we are going to have to hit all three of those buttons.

Still to come ahead of this Weekends Academy awards, we speak to the real life nomads from nomadland about their time on the road. The stars and stripes at Half Mast outside columbine high. The school sealed off, the bodies of the dead still inside. I never thought that they would actually go through with it. Choir sings one of the most successful Singer Songwriters of all time, the american Pop Star Prince has died at the age of 57. I was ijust couldnt believe it. I didnt believe it. We just he was just here saturday. For millions of americans, the death of Richard Nixon in a new York Hospital has meant conflicting emotions. A national day of mourning next wednesday sitting somehow uneasily with the abiding memories of the shame of watergate. And Lift Off of the Space Shuttle Discovery with l the hubble space telescope, our window on the universe. | this is Bbc News. The latest headlines dozens of people have been hurt in clashes in eastjerusalem amid Rival Demonstrations by palestinians and far right jewish activists. India reports the biggest daily rise of infections since the pandemic began. The hollywood Awards Season like everything else this year has been unusual. Red carpets have remained rolled up and ceremonies been delayed and largely virtual but the Academy Awards will be rolling out their Red Carpet this weekend in la. One of the frontrunners for Best Picture this year is nomadland, which has six oscar nominations. Meanwhile, our West Coast correspondent, sophie long, has been out to the nevada we can now speak to Jacqueline Coley whos editor at rotten tomatoes. They say that The Show Must Go On but this is different to the ones before . Ones before . Thank you for havin ones before . Thank you for having me ones before . Thank you for having me. It ones before . Thank you for having me. It seems ones before . Thank you for having me. It seems the i ones before . Thank you for having me. It seems the oscars will be the first Award Show of the season to do more than in person setting, and the grammys where the first to do this with their in Table Settings and masks and now in london and new york and the oscars will have the Red Carpet with the glitz and glamour. Many Voters Wont have seen as much as they normally would. Could we be in for some surprise winners . All wore something like nomadland run away with that all . T nomadland run away with that all . ~ ,. ,. , all . I think you have been readin all . I think you have been reading our all . I think you have been reading our Predictions L all . I think you have been i reading our predictions that is how we opened up our predictions. Apathy more than anything is the contender in best Picture Race this year as many have been working at home and have not had the time to maybe screen certain films and meanwhile, the older voters have had the opportunity. So, while the academy has been diversifying, adding more diverse voters, those are typically the folks working the hardest during this time at home and also those whose votes may differentiate from what votes have been able to do this season. Upsets are very much possible. Aaron sorkin� s the trial of the chicago 7 had it all phenomenal cast, great story, brilliant script, Stand Out Performances from sasha baron cohen, focusing on issues of police brutality, the role of the state, racism, access to justice could that unseat nomadland for Best Picture . If there was a david knocking down goliath, i think this film is absolutely in the hunt for that one and he hit it with an hour on the head. The real story with this, and i had a recent spot with Michael Peterson talking about the film, Michael Peterson, this was the generation that first chose to stand up and take to the streets for civil unrest and that generation is also a generation of folksy very much accomplice the Academy Voters encompass, they are xt five H Plus and white male and they remember what the chicago seven did and Bobby Seale and how brutally he was attacked in the Court Room and if youre looking for a green book upset, this one will hit a lot of Academy Voters in the field. Without indicative wins to really give us clear favourites who are your picks for best male and best female . I will say for best female performance, it is spread out, Carey Mulligan is a critics choice, and also Frances Mcdormand but Viola Davis for the sag award, you should give that most credence and she has been a multiple year nominee, she has had several performances where folks thought she would win and she did not an especially right now as we are really talking about racial reckoning, one of the marks on the academy is the lack of black performers able to repeat in that Lead Category and it has been almost 20 years since a black woman has won the best lead actress, halle berry, and remains the only black woman to do so. Although Voters Vote with their mind and what they see on screen, sometimes they see on screen, sometimes they make a statement and the Viola Davis peak and her Co Star would be something like that, and with bozeman, he has run away with major prizes this man, notjust because of his incredible work but also as a testament to his legacy as not just Black Panther but the man who played James Brown and jackie robinson. Will the stars be receiving their statuettes in person . Yes, actually closely to you than me, there will be Satellite Locations all throughout the world, there will be Satellite Locations in new york, london, parts of asia, Steven Soderbergh has been producing the show and committed to shooting it like an actual film committed to shooting it like an actualfilm it committed to shooting it like an actual film it will have a cinematic experience and folks are really set for a show for those who are set to tune in. Looking forward to it thank you, that is the editor of rotten tomatoes. Time now for the latest Sports News. Hello, im tulsen tollett, and this is your Sports News, where we start with football. And Leicester City have maintained their push for a Champions League Place next season, with a comfortable 3 0 win over West Bromwich Albion in the premier league. All the goals were scored before half time with Jamie Vardy getting the opener, and that was his first goal in 12 League And Cup games.

Yannick carrasco sealed the win ten minutes from time and atletico are now three points ahead of Real Madrid at the top of the table. Barcelona are two points further back after Lionel Messi scored twice in a 5 2 win over getafe. Every game is difficult and its not about the name of the opponent. We know this schedule is difficult for us but the same is happening to a political madrid and athletic imagery, and Riel Madrid because we have 1a teams close to each other fighting for the title. In italy, Zlatan Ibrahimovic has signed a new one Year Contract with Ac Milan Thatll keep him at the club beyond his 40th birthday. The swedish striker, whos in his second spell at milan, has scored 17 goals in 25 matches this season, and reached 500 Career Goals back in february. While Football Managers are used to providing Injury Updates for their squad, Brighton Boss Graham Potter had to explain how he got this impressive black eye. I would love to be able to tell you there is a heroic, chivalrous story i could tell you to make myself look good but unfortunately i missed my footing walking over some steps and went crashing into a Metal Railing and have a bit of whiplash on my back and i sort of look a bit better, so the Lady Upstairs tells me, looking more rugged and handsome but i think she is crazy, of course to tennis and the number two seed Simona Halep is safely through to the Quarter Finals of the stuttgart grand prix. Halep whos never won the tournament cruised into the last eight with a straight Sets Victiory over Marketa Vondrousova from the czech republic.

After nadal won the Opening Set to love, the unseeded japanese player claimed the second set with a sweeping Forehand Winner but the spaniard, seeking to win a 12th Title on home soil, regained his composure to move into the last eight where Hell Play World number 3a, Britains Cameron Norrie after he overcame an injured david goffin. At the world snooker championship, three time Winner Mark Selby eased through to the second round with a ten frames to one victory over kurt maflin. The norwegian had a chance to extend the match if he sunk this black in the 11th Frame but after doing the hard work prior to it he missed, and that left selby an easy finish to confirm his place in the next round where Hell Face northern irelands mark allen.

Elon musk has launched a One Hundred Million Dollar Prize to coincide with Earth Day to find new ways to remove carbon and put the brakes on global warming. It comes as many countries mark this annual environmental day in their own way, as Mark Lobel reports. A dazzling display for Earth Day. Buddhist monks on zoom congregate virtually and 300,000 candles. Translation we came up with the Theme Cleanse the mind, cleanse the world, which is to remind people to cleanse their minds before they start cleaning the world. But time is of the essence as the world gets hotter. If we are to live up to our promises and commitments in the paris agreement, we have to end Fossil Fuel subsidies, stop new exploration and extraction, completely divest from Fossil Fuels and keep the carbon in the ground. Now. Theres also another way to fight global warming by removing Carbon Dioxide from the atmosphere or ocean, but with technology to do so not yet commercially viable, theres now a big incentive to discover a way that is. Youre going to talk about the launch of the biggest prize ever . 100 Million xprize for carbon capture. Itll be good to frame the debate and understand, 0k, what things are really going to move the needle, how much are they really going to move the needle . If were talking getting tens or hundreds of billions of tons of carbon, in what form will that carbon be . Will it be stable over time . And like, what is it going to cost humanity to do . Its all part of a mindset to protect what we have like this River Running through sao paulo. Once strewn with trash, now welcoming back some familiarfaces after a big cleanup. Welcomed by the wider community, too. From Cleaning Up Beaches in israel, and australia, to appealing to political and industrial leaders to clean up their act in tokyo and jakarta. Its a call for action from all corners of the earth. Mark lobel, Bbc News. You can reach me on twitter im V Fritz News and ill be back with the Business News in about four minutes and plenty an climate change and watch a Business Due to support the goals. See you soon. Hello. Were seeing big temperature differences from night to day at the moment. We started Yesterday Morning at around 6 in a few spots. Thursday afternoon, under Clear Skies, Sunny Skies you can see from the Satellite Imagery we got to 17 18 degrees. Problem is, as soon as you lose that sunshine, the temperatures plummet again. And this morning, another widespread frost across the country, maybe as low as 3 or i in some spots of england and south east scotland. Frost free towards the north but thats because weve got more cloud, even though were under this same area of High Pressure thats whats keeping things dry at the moment. But around it, we are seeing some blustery conditions, particularly towards the far south and the west. Most, though, Light Winds through friday, early Morning Mist and fog patches quickly clearing. That cloud stubbornly persistent across the far North East of scotland, maybe a few showers for shetland. High cloud may turn the Sunshine Hazy in one or two spots but overall, its a Sunny Day for many. A windy one, though, through the English Channel and the south west. The winds could gust in excess of a0 mph, whipping up some rather choppy seas, and that will limit the Temperature Rise here to between around 12 14 degrees for many. It may get up to 18 on the North Coast of devon and around these Western Areas, 18 celsius quite possible. Northwest england, North Wales could get to around 20 degrees during the afternoon. But for all, just about, away from where weve got the cloud in the North East of scotland, its going to be a day of high tree pollen. Now, as we go into Friday Evening and overnight, we could see the odd Mist Or Fog patch form. The cloud still there in the far North East of scotland but for most, its Clear Skies into the weekend, and High Pressure is still there as we start it. Now, with that High Pressure strengthening a little bit to the North East of us, it does mean the winds across the south and the west will start to strengthen a little bit more, so it will be another blustery day across southern and south Western Areas of the uk. Breeze picks up a little bit for the rest of us, still some cloud in the North East of scotland. A bit of patchy cloud forming elsewhere but for most, its another Sunny Day. Cool down some of those eastern coasts but in the west, we could still get up to around 17 18 degrees. The frost becoming less abundant as we go through this weekend as the breeze picks up. And it will pick up further into sunday, bringing more cloud across the country. Cloudiest of all, central and eastern parts of england. Best of the sunshine in the west with the highest of the temperatures but a cool day down those eastern areas, especially where the cloud lingers, and therell be more Cloud And Cooler conditions next week, too.
