Now the news with al tansley. The Prime Minister has confirmed hundreds of new licences will be granted to drill for oil and gas in the north sea. Rishi sunak, whos in aberdeenshire to announce funding for two new Carbon Capture projects, said it was vital to bolster Energy Security. A former miner from northumberland who killed his seriously ill wife is expected to be released from prison by august. David hunter was found guilty of manslaughter last week hes been sentenced to two years by a court in cyprus but theyve taken into account the time hes already been in custody. The president of the Royal College of emergency medicine has said nhs plans for the coming winter in england are inadequate and could mean thousands of people dying needlessly. The nhs says it will build on recent improvements in ambulance and a e services. And police have begun a Murder Investigation after a man in his 30s was shot dead in north london last night. The victim was found on White Hart Lane in tottenham and died at the scene. No one� s been arrested. New oilfields, licences new oil fields, licences to drill. What do you reckon, is this insanity or absolutely vital . As a transition to a net zero and also for our Energy Security. The Prime Minister has been talking about Carbon Capture this morning. A technology some people say is still in its relative infancy but educationally, he believes and others believe this is the way ahead. He describes it as great and exciting news, he says it will help the transition to net zero, he also, and this is something, he talked about the impact of the war by Vladimir Putin andi impact of the war by Vladimir Putin and i think Carbon Capture is a very interesting thing to develop as he sought to develop and explore a small in this particular hour so your thoughts on that. He has been on Good Morning Scotland speaking to Modern Geissler who asked him about the new licences and how they will help us achieve net zero. Help us achieve net zero. Because even when help us achieve net zero. Because even when we help us achieve net zero. Because even when we reach help us achieve net zero. Because even when we reach net help us achieve net zero. Because even when we reach net zero help us achieve net zero. Because even when we reach net zero in i help us achieve net zero. Because i even when we reach net zero in 2050 a quarter of our energy still come from oil and gas in domestic Gas Production has about a quarter or a third of the Carbon Footprint of imported gas so not only is it better for the Energy Security not to rely on foreign dictators for that energy, not only is it good for jobs especially scottish jobs, its better for the environment because there is no point in putting stop halfway around the world with two to three times the Carbon Footprint of the stuff we have at home.

I will be flying as i normally jet7 i will be flying as i normally would and that is the most efficient use of my time. That question brings to light. If you think the answer to light. If you think the answer to Climate Change is getting people to Climate Change is getting people to ban everything. To stop people going on holiday, i think thats absolutely the wrong approach. Absolutely the wrong approach. Every Prime Minister before me has used aeroplanes to travel around the uk because it is an efficient use of time for a person running the country and i can continue to focus on delivering for the people of the country but if your approach as no one can go on holiday.

And craig mackinlay, conservative mp for south thanet. I want to hear the two if youre talking about this. It is vexing for a lot of people. Tessa khan, why is it calamitous, do you think . By, it calamitous, do you think . Couple of reasons. The first is we have heard Time And Again from trusted independent experts like the International Energy agency which has been set up to secure Fossil Fuel Supplies in the 70s from the Un Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, thousands of scientists who write Peer ReviewedResearch Reports and most recently from the uk s own independent Climate Change advisors, the Climate Change committee that we simply cannot have any new fossil fuel developments, that includes new and gas fields if we are going to stay within safe climate limits and those limits have been internationally agreed, more than the temperature we are out right now which i am sure people listening would agree have already led to disastrous consequences like the wildfires, so far as we have seen across North America and europe in recent months. The science is very clear. We have already got enough oil and gas in reserve to take us past the set limits. The second thing i would say is it is completely disingenuous of the Prime Minister to say it is better for the environment to use domestically produced oil and gas. The first as it does not belong to us. The north sea oil and gas he is helping to encourage is overwhelmingly exported so 80 of the oil and poster left in the north sea as oil goes to International Markets and so there so its not helping us with Energy Security and helping to displace imports. The other thing to keep in mind as uk production is much dirtier than the country will get most of our gas imports from patches norway. Watch has banned a lot of practices we still allow which i didnt think the north sea so it is misleading for the government to rely on this idea that our oil and Gas Production is somehow cleaner than imports. Gas production is somehow cleaner than importa than imports. Craig mackinlay, do ou want than imports. Craig mackinlay, do you want to than imports. Craig mackinlay, do you want to come than imports. Craig mackinlay, do you want to come back than imports. Craig mackinlay, do you want to come back on than imports. Craig mackinlay, do you want to come back on that . L than imports. Craig mackinlay, do| you want to come back on that . If than imports. Craig mackinlay, do you want to come back on that . If we are worried you want to come back on that . If we are worried about you want to come back on that . If we are worried about Carbon Dioxide domestic are worried about Carbon Dioxide domestic supply has to be the lowest carbon domestic supply has to be the lowest Carbon Dioxide means by which we get as. Carbon dioxide means by which we get gas tessa Carbon Dioxide means by which we get gas. Tessa has described the Climate Change gas. Tessa has described the Climate Change committee, they have a lot of output change committee, they have a lot of output and change committee, they have a lot of output and all of the reports say we wont output and all of the reports say we wont need output and all of the reports say we wont need oil and gas up to 2050 and beyond. What is the point importing that from as far away as australia importing that from as far away as australia which we did last august . We regularly have supply from qatar, the us, we regularly have supply from qatar, the us, trinidad and tobago, supercooled, shipped on the diesel powered supercooled, shipped on the diesel powered ship and recast when it arrives powered ship and recast when it arrives at powered ship and recast when it arrives at a powered ship and recast when it arrives at a port in the uk. That is arrives at a port in the uk. That is a daft arrives at a port in the uk. That is a daft amount of Carbon Dioxide being a daft amount of Carbon Dioxide being emitted for something that you need being emitted for something that you need she being emitted for something that you need. She also mentions norway. I dont need. She also mentions norway. I dont believe uk Environmental Standards or any lower than that of norway standards or any lower than that of norway. The uk has always prided itsetf norway. The uk has always prided itself on norway. The uk has always prided itself on practically everything it does itself on practically everything it does on itself on practically everything it does on being at the forefront of doing does on being at the forefront of doing things right environmentally unsafe doing things right environmentally unsafe. But norway, we spent £40 billion unsafe. But norway, we spent £40 billion with unsafe. But norway, we spent £40 billion with norway last year. They are extracting oil and gas out of the same are extracting oil and gas out of the same place in the north sea we are proposing to expand, its been there are proposing to expand, its been there for are proposing to expand, its been there for many years and we were trying there for many years and we were trying to there for many years and we were trying to expand licences to some top places trying to expand licences to some top places that have not been the first in top places that have not been the first in the top places that have not been the first in the queue, the low Hanging Fruit in first in the queue, the low Hanging Fruit in the first in the queue, the low Hanging Fruit in the past because we need energy fruit in the past because we need Energy Security. If we can replace that 40 Energy Security. If we can replace that 40 billion with that being domestically supplied, not only will that be domestically supplied, not only will that be a domestically supplied, not only will that be a Carbon Dioxide saving but it will that be a Carbon Dioxide saving but it will create jobs, investment, tax, it will create jobs, investment, tax. We it will create jobs, investment, tax, we need that and a big benefit to the tax, we need that and a big benefit to the balance of payments problem this country has always suffered from this country has always suffered from to this country has always suffered from. To say that none of this happens. From. To say that none of this happens, it is flat earth, we are going happens, it is flat earth, we are going to happens, it is flat earth, we are going to taps that are marked on the tops off going to taps that are marked on the tops off immediately, that would not work because we want our blackouts and problems and industry would grind and problems and industry would grind to and problems and industry would grind to a and problems and industry would grind to a halt. To me, extracting more grind to a halt. To me, extracting more of grind to a halt. To me, extracting more of what you have got that you were more of what you have got that you were blessed with seems a very sensible were blessed with seems a very sensible thing to do across all the measures sensible thing to do across all the measures that tessa is worried about measures that tessa is worried about its measures that tessa is worried about.
