Lets start with a potential Game Changer from the eu, which is set to propose a raft of initiatives later today constituting the worlds most comprehensive set of Climate Legislation to reduce Greenhouse Gas emissions. The reforms, referred to as � fit for 55� will lay out how the eu will reduce Greenhouse Gas emissions 55 per cent by 2030. The legislation will set out new rules for emissions trading, targets for Renewable Energy and emissions limits for transport and industry. A key proposal will involve Making Firms who do business with the Eu Pay for their Carbon Emissions. If the eu is to meet its goal of achieving net zero emissions by 2050, then every sector of the economy will need to undergo a profound transformation in the next three decades in order to reduce emissions. Joining me now is wendel trio, director of Climate Action Network europe. Good morning, a very warm welcome to the programme. What are we expecting from this legislation . We are expecting the commission to come up with a whole range of proposals covering all sectors of society. It is an answer to eu states agreeing to the 2030 climate target to at least 55 . For us, it will be crucial that the commission looks at this package in a comprehensive way and ensures that it indeed meets the objectives. For us, those objectives. For us, those objectives will be to go beyond a Reduction Target of 55 . Each element of the package should show clear ambition, so that together we can end up at a number that gives meaning to the number of 55, and that we go beyond, because we know it is needed. If we put all the commitments from all countries in the world together, we are not yet reaching the 1. 5 Celsius Target that was agreed uponin Celsius Target that was agreed upon in paris, six years ago in the paris agreement. It will be important to see if the commission comes up with proposals that goes for the highest level of ambition. Compared to other countries, these targets are tougher, bolder. Will Member States Bulk up bolder. Will Member States Bulk up this in terms of what it means for businesses and households . This will lead to a lot of discussions between Member States. Some states will give more attention to specific proposals, some are more likely to support the higher uptake of Renewable Energy, others are more in favour of energy efficiency. Some would want to have more pressure on the forestry sector, so it is very clear Member States will take very different positions, and it will be relatively intensive discussions for, probably, the next two years, because in The End of these proposals needs to be both agreed upon by the 27 Eu Member states but also by the majority of european parliament, and regulation between those institutions will take time. We have proposals and ideas here, but as you say there is a long road ahead for Negotiation And Agreement on this across the eu. When it comes to the Carbon Board attacks, looking at how that would work, could this hurt the Eu Economy where countries who trade with europe, or businesses who trade with europe, will have to pay taxes as well, even more taxes . Yes, so, first of all, the package as most of all focused on the Domestic Market in the eu, but the Carbon Border Adjustment mechanism is a proposal, clearly, that has received a lot of attention and our trading partners, received a lot of attention and ourtrading partners, Eu Trading partners and a lot of concern being expressed by the Trading Prices of the eu, including the united states and china, to name those two. This will be an intensive debate on how this can happen, and we have to see how the European Commission will make the proposal, because it is very likely it will be limited to a limited number of sectors, in which this will apply, and that is also very likely to have implementation of this proposal coming at the later half of this decade, so it went before the first five, six, maybe seven years before this will be implemented, so, yes, that will lead to a lot of debate and conversation, because it will potentially impact trade relationships and of course, the efforts of companies to become greener. Indeed, wendel trio, thank you forjoining us from Climate Action Network europe. If we stay on the subject, looking at what is going on in the uk today, the government is to publish its own decarbonisation transport plan, expected to include plans for a new mandate for vehicles, include plans for a new mandate forvehicles, meaning include plans for a new mandate for vehicles, meaning carmakers would have to produce a minimum portion of electric cars, also expected to ban the new sale of Diesel Trucks in the uk from 2040. Does it go far enough to reach net zero Carbon Emissions by 2050 . Michael holderjoins us now, Deputy Editor of business green, great to speak to you again. We obviously have various details of this decarbonisation plan, what do you make of what you have read so far . First of all, it is hard to underestimate the importance of this document. Transport is the single biggest sector of the uk economy, more so than greenhouse has emissions produced each year more than agriculture, modern homes and buildings, and transforming how we get from A To B across road, rail, air and we get from A To B across road, rail, Airand Sea we get from A To B across road, rail, Air And Sea will have a massive impact on our lives. This is the first time the government has set out an overarching vision for how they do that, and crucially it says it wants at the natural first choice for everyone to be cycling, walking, and public transport when it comes to getting about a crucial acknowledgement that while switching to electrical vehicles and other d carbonated modes, it is also important to move away from our massive reliance on carbon vehicles. There are other important signals. By 2048 wants all flights taken by plane in the uk to be net zero emissions, it wants by 2042 removed from sale all Diesel And Petrol lorries and drugs. It has already said it wanted to do that for Passenger Cars by 2030, last year. These are important signals for manufacturers so they can develop the new technologies and investment is in but into these technologies. As i said, there are huge Question Marks over how the government intends to drive the changes. I was going to ask about that because some people are saying the government is putting too much faith into innovation here, that these targets put in place are really ambitious and unrealistic. I think it depends, really, as i think it depends, really, as i was saying, what the policies and incentives and behavioural changes methods that the government is going to put in place to back these milestones, you know, beyond simply saying that in 20 years we wont have any more Diesel And Petrol trucks. How exactly is the government going to ensure that the incentives and financing is available for the people who use them to afford it. And how our customers and businesses going to be incentivised to build those new drugs . That is what we need more detail on, and what businesses will cry out for. There are still questions over other aspects of the governments broader plans on transport plans. It is still planning on Spending Billions of pounds on rebuilding roads, it has recently backed the plug in Car Grant for people to be incentivised to buy electric vehicles. Will they still be in place . Will it ramp up funding for customers so they will buy these products . I think that remains to be seen. ~. ,. , i think that remains to be seen. A. ,. ,. , ~ seen.

The former boss of the japanese Car Maker nissan, carlos ghosn, fled japan in a daring escape while under house arrest, has been talking about his experience, speaking exclusively to our business editor, simonjack, from his home in beirut, ghosn said he had to disguise himself, take a fast train to a regional airport and then hide in a Music Box before being loaded onto a plane. He leftjapan for lebanon which doesnt have an Extradition Treaty with japan. He started by talking about the moment of his detention. I could not show my face, so i had to be hidden it was a normal day, the policeman at the Passport Control said there was a problem with my visa and my passport. He took me in a special room, and, in fact, the person i met was the Tokyo Persecutor who told me that there is a problem, and when i said, you know what, i need to make a Phone Call because people are waiting for me, he said, you cant use your phone. All of a sudden, i knew there was something very serious going on. The only memory i have of this moment was shock, frozen, trauma. 0ne frozen, trauma. One minute you are a Globe Trotting chief executive, then essentially incarcerated. What was that experience like . They took me to the Detention Centre of tokyo, which is in fact outside the city of tokyo, it is at present. Make it is a present. They stripped me of everything and gave me the usual clothes of a detainee, and i All Of A Sudden had to learn to live without a watch, computer, telephone, venues, without a Pen Nothing in a cell, which was very small. Adapted, obviously, to the japanese standard of living, which means you dont have a bed, you dont have a chair. You just sit on a mat. You brought in two people to help you out under the cover of them being musicians. What was the plan . Talk as to how you escape. Plan . Talk as to how ou escae. Talk as to how you escape. The Lan Talk as to how you escape. The plan was. Talk as to how you escape. The plan was. I talk as to how you escape. The plan was, i could talk as to how you escape. The plan was, i could not talk as to how you escape. Tie plan was, i could not show my face. I had to be hidden somewhere in the only way i could be hidden is to be in a box. 0r, could be hidden is to be in a box. Or, be in luggage. So, nobody could see me, nobody could recognise me and obviously, the plan could work. Before joining The Box, i needed not to be detected because i departed from an airport outside tokyo. So, we used a train and taxis, so i had to wear things that i never usually wear. And you know, the plane was scheduled to take off at 11pm that night. What was it like being inside The Box . You dont think about the past, you dont think about the future. You just think about the moment. They took me maybe one hour or1. 5 hours the moment. They took me maybe one hour or 1. 5 hours in the spot. The most difficult moment was when you are in The Box, in the plane, and waiting for the plane to take off. You know, the plane was scheduled to take off at 11pm that night. We were ready and i was in The Box in the rear of the plane probably around 10 30pm. The 30 minutes waiting in The Box in the plane, waiting for the plane to take off, were probably the longest period of wait ive ever experienced in my life. The two people that assisted you to get out ofjail, they have been extradited from the us to japan and could be facing a lengthyjail terms. You got out. How do you feel about it . Do you have regrets about the people still there because of you facing jail time . Ifeel sorry for all of the i feel sorry for all of the people who are victim of the Justice System injapan, all of them. I think that this tragedy is attracting the attention on a system which, frankly, not a lot of people realise. When you have a prosecutor winning 99. 5 of the cases, you have no right to a lawyer, you are being dealt by a Justice System who doesnt care about your understanding because there was no translator you know, my friendly advisors, dont go to japan unless they change this Justice System because you dont know what risk you are taking.

Breaking down | the components of the cpi, you mentioned used car prices, up by record 10. 5 on a monthly basis and 45 year on year. This is why we expected to be transitory because used car prices are being driven up by a shortage of new cars which themselves are being affected by global semiconductor shortage. That should smooth out over time. There are other transitory impacts related to the category most exposed to the category most exposed to the reactor economically opening, such as airfares and hotel prices, up sharply again which should decelerate after the economic reopening continues. There is some element however that our reason for concern, such as rental inflation, now exhilarated on a month on Month Basis and if this continues it may prove to be a more serious concern for the fed in the matter of transitory inflation and that being put to the test.

Hello there. Summer weather is increasingly set to take hold over the next few days. It is looking largely dry. Well see increasing amounts of sunshine and increasing temperatures as well, and it is all because of High Pressure. Now, currently, this area of High Pressure is sitting to the South West of us, but it is going to build towards the uk over the next few days, hence the increasing amounts of sunshine and those higher temperatures as well. But actually, through wednesday, many spots will see a decent amount of sunshine. We will have quite a lot of cloud through the morning across some Eastern Parts of scotland and eastern england, tending to retreat towards the coast through the day, and also, more Cloud Into Northern Ireland and western scotland. And actually, as that cloud thickens up through the afternoon, it could even produce the Odd Spot of drizzle. But elsewhere, some good spells of sunshine. Temperatures in the sunniest spots up to 24 or 25 degrees. A bit breezy for north western areas and also for some eastern coasts. Now, as we head through Wednesday Night into thursday, we will see more Cloud Rolling down across Northern Ireland and scotland, getting into Northern England and wales by The End of the night. Clear spells further south, a pretty mild night 11 15 degrees in most places. Into thursday, we are going to see more in the way of Cloud Pushing Southwards Down into england and wales. Therell be some spells of sunshine and certainly, some brighter conditions developing for Northern Ireland and for scotland, and in the best of the sunshine, temperatures again getting up to around 24 or 25 degrees. And for friday, many spots can expect to see plenty of Blue Sky and sunshine. A bit more cloud at this stage across north western parts of scotland, Northern Ireland, but certainly more cloud across the northern isles. The Sunnier Skies further south lifting those temperatures up to 25 26, maybe at this stage, up to 27 degrees. And that sets us up for the weekend because our area of High Pressure is going to become firmly established across the uk, bringing lots of dry weather, lots of sunshine. You can see frontal systems close to the far north perhaps giving a bit more cloud at times, but with our High Pressure in place, we can expect some pretty warm weather through both saturday and sunday. So, lets look at some city forecasts. You can see across shetland, Itll Stay cloudy and a bit cooler, 15 or 16 degrees. But most other places, fine, dry, some spells of sunshine and temperatures easily up to 27, maybe 28 degrees.
