That the reason im here in madrid is very simple im here because President Trump is not politicians are cold about this scientists have been talking about bloody about this trying to pick every day in overwhelmingly shows that we are not on the right path today Mainstream Media the science is not being represented their weight needs to be these kids shouldnt have to be the ones to tell us to get the job they are we are going in the wrong direction. Also coming up its 2 days before we find out if Boris Johnsons simple election message is going to pay off at the ballot box get bricks it done they spoke to this its telling the public will see it they. They think that the public wants to hear its the simplifying the she. Was here our viewers on p. B. S. In the United States and all around the world welcome what we begin the day with the cost of carbon and whos going to pay at the United NationsClimate Conference in madrid governments are hoping to finalize the rules for International Carbon markets and at the same time there are demands by poor countries for aid to help them cope with the damage the destruction already calls by Climate Change over this of course for. A question of leadership a group of climate n. G. O. S which monitor countries efforts to reduce emissions say that the world may be at a turning point towards overall reduction but their Climate ChangePerformance Index has just named the United States as the worst performing country replacing saudi arabia at the bottom of the list for the 1st time and thats all about politics u. S. President donald trump may be facing pressure domestically with democrats today announcing those articles of impeachment against him in madrid hes also a new pressure from a potential rival in next years u. S. President ial elections billionaire businessman and former new york mayor Michael Bloomberg was in madrid today with a message shared by Many Americans who do not view the world like their current president in the u. S. There are hundreds of may is short taking Climate Action and who are working to up all the americas commitment under the paris climate agreement and we want the world to know that americans are continuing to lead on Climate Change even with a climate denier and the white house now the reason im here in madrid is very simple im here because President Trump is not here because his administration refuses to lead on Climate Change and so others must do the work that was Michael Bloomberg speaking there in madrid. Well lets talk a bit about leadership from a slightly different angle my next guest is a prime in the air an explorer from a long line of explorers he made the 1st flight or around the globe flights with a solar powered plane and before that he did it by balloon and hes also a Clean Energy Advocate and a global goodwill ambassador for the u. N. Climate program he joins us from madrid where hes attending the Climate Conference im happy to welcome tonight to the day mr bet tante card he joins us from madrid good to have you on the show mr mccaughey card how do you explain that not a single country is doing what is laid out in the Paris Climate Accord i mean not one country is on the list that evening you think you put invitation yes my impression is that a lot of countries have not yet understood how profitable it is to predict the environment today there are hundreds of solutions and i see it every day we do Solar Impulse donation hundreds of solution that can protect the environment in a profitable weight and creates new jobs its good for the economy and at the same time its good to fight Climate Change but if the companies dont understand it they resist instead of in raising the solutions to go forward well what youre saying there is that we have we need a rethink because it seems. Understanding youre right that people believe that stopping Climate Change can only come at the expense of Economic Growth right. Yes yes exactly that thats the problem and today we do not speak the language of the people who want to convince you to speak to people who have Financial Investments short term profits to make people who are afraid about their he 3 stations and the employment and you speak to them only about 2nd pfizers to print again by humans that will keep you out of the room but if you come and you say look how profitable it is look how many jobs you can create then you really. Manage to motivate them but its not the language that is used every day and this is the problem we have to change the language to be understood by the people who want to convince and have basically to change the narrative i want to ask you about something you know very well and that is the aviation sector i mean it is the only sector that has set a limit on total emissions the only sector in all sectors of the Global Economy what does the aviation sector know that the rest of the world apparently does not know. And he should know is that you dont take measures in order to reduce their emissions theyre going to lose customers people are not going to travel by airline anymore if the airlines are not making an effort. And what is that effort what is what should it look like. The effort is to introduce Energy Efficient technologies do call it used to have hybrid airplanes constant decent approaches you know some procedures that saves fuel you go in a more direct line and everything that you cannot avoid in the emissions can become conceited ever hamas has decided to compensate all this you to the interview of flights so you see there is hope because the private sector is now taking a lot of initiatives and this is maybe a reaction to the length of the negotiations the negotiations that took 252423 did bring frustration to everybody because they are too long theyre not ambitious enough one of the private sector is stick heres even in finance you know financing all new renewables and not on any more making ambition or making industry cleaner or going into a lot of new things you know in the European Commission do do you green deal its absolutely fascinating it comes from europe thats a fantastic opportunity that we have to do to support and to encourage or misprint when do you think the Aviation Industry the sector what is it going to become post carbon when are we going to have you know planes flying us across the world. With electricity for example batteries when that going to happen mr pickard ok lets see do we have the signal weve got him on skype from madrid are you still with us mr pickard unfortunately or we apologize for that we lost the signal there to madrid for finance minister for car. All right lets move on donald trump could become the 3rd u. S. President ever to be impeached and tonight we know what exactly trump is being charged with u. S. House democrats announced today that they will bring 2 articles of impeachment against the president charging him with abuse of power and obstruction of congress a vote on impeachment is expected before Christmas Today congressional leaders said the evidence leaves no doubt about the guilt of donald trump the evidence of the president s misconduct is overwhelming and uncontested and how could it not be when the president s own words on july 25th i would like you to do us a favor though lays so bare his intentions is willing to sacrifice the National Security for his own personal interests and when the president got caught he committed his 2nd impeachable act obstruction of congress of the very ability to make sure that no one is above the law not even the president of the United States. If youre shopping for clothes here in europe or north america you know its a buyers market and a t. Shirt for 5 euros no problem but with prices as low is that its pretty clear that people who make the clothes are not earning very much at all the German Government is now pushing ahead with legislation that requires corporations to ensure that their entire supply chain meets human rights and social standards and that includes fair wages in just a moment ill speak with someone campaigning for a living wage and human rights for everyone who makes the shirts on our backs but 1st this report from ethiopia where the minimum wage means a monthly income is only 26. 00. The ethiopian economy is booming and with it the countrys textile industry Industrial Parks boast flagship factories clean and well lit but all things really as good as they look one of the big pulls for Foreign Companies are the low wages in bangladesh the minimum wage is around 85. 00 euros per month while in ethiopia is just 23 year rose. Is that enough to live on back in june German Television reported on the lives of textile workers in ethiopia. Is accompanied them to their homes tiny huts in a slum. The women wanted to remain anonymous. They worked in 2 different factories making clothes for h. And m. Among others. Then a week ago we visited the women again and asked if anything had changed. Do you know i was earning 23 year 0 month as my basic wage and 6 euros on top because of my extra skills then they said theyd raise my salary but they just added it together i now and 29 euros is a basic wage but nothing for my extra skills nothing has changed. The women have moved and now have a bed but they still rely on their parents to get by a friend has been promoted in our earns 55. 00 euros a month its still not enough. I was hoping my life would change but since i started at the factory 4 years ago things have stayed the same its tough. We also spoke to h. And m. They confirmed that the lowest monthly wage is 26. 00 around 23. 00. They are they say backing a study for a legal minimum wage in ethiopia. One woman says that has been a positive development. And theyve changed one thing over time is now voluntary students can now attend their courses at university thats good. Theres not much else to celebrate day they tell us that the work is pressurised and intimidation and insults the commonplace. Were going to hear the big table is someone who is working to improve the conditions that you saw there that reports miriam zaga months is from the European Center for constitutional and human rights its good to have you on the program the German Government wants to see corporations and here to shimon rights human rights codes volunteer all. That hasnt happened so far does that surprise you know it doesnt surprise me and thats the narrative since 78990. 00 s. That companies should be good corporate citizens and you know do their social base respond to the social responsibility. Of companies that are mainly driven by the shareholder value wont do shouldnt have wont have an interest in human rights because newt normally that means it raises costs where do you get the impression that were seeing this government push now because the voters are demanding an improvement in conditions on the other side of the planet or because politicians think that this helps them look better well i mean i think you can say we had those historic factory tragedies in 2012 and 13 that started with a pakistani on the enterprises fire and then you had this with smaller fire but also with 100 at some point in bangladesh and then came the rana plaza can. With over 1000 dead workers and i think that did shake up the. Public opinion in europe and you can see that ever since then the whole topic doesnt really leave leave the attention. So you know while im not too hopeful that the government also voluntarily will bring serious constraints to companies and business interest i do believe that at the moment there is an obvious window of opportunity that they could be an improvement in the legal situation this year a german court through all the case that was brought against a german textile chain over the fire back in 2012 which killed more than 250 people you represented one of the survivors where did that case leave your campaign i think this case its on the factual basis its very strong case and i think you could see also from the media every view you know. People we met at the events you could tell if that case doesnt cause liability for a company if a company is not responsible for such enormous. Disregard for workers safety well that can be and i think this is what this case showed that we really have a gap in the legislation here and that something must be done at least to cover these kind of cases if you get the plan that were talking about tonight if that becomes walled in corporations will have to be obliged to ensure that the entire supply chain is on the open up human rights but one will they be able to enforce that and what about if theyre doing business in a country where the laws of that country limit their ability to know whats going on throughout the entire supply chain yeah well i think this law what it does oblige comes in obliges them to a certain process of human rights to diligence which means that they would need to try to expand their leverage on supplier factorys on this. Supply us i think what it can mean that in certain instances where they cannot control the supply chain they may need to change purchasing practices with you because you think theyre going to do that well if if there are consequences attached to this human rights of the geishas what are the consequences should there be well that could be civil liability thats what you can think of i think theyre also law proposals out there that talk about more of it administratively sanctions that could be put on them if they dont fulfill their human rights to diligence you know and then of course is the question who brings the civil claims you know having done the case against kick its enormous amounts of amount of work you know whereas the capacity within the authorities to monitor you know the sanctions im sure that obviously is thats all up to question i nevertheless would say you know if weve made a step that its actually not a voluntary step to say im im trying to improve my working conditions my supply chain but its actually legally binding thats at least one step ahead what about plausible deniability i can head a corporation and i can till the government or whoever is enforcing this we did everything we have proof of that we didnt know that we were being the one to by the authorities in bangladesh yeah i think then then it comes the question comes in is that a truthful excuse excuse and i guess those kind of laws obviously you do bring the possibility for companies to excuse themselves bed and thats and thats i think what we advocating for the standard must be very high so there may be a situation when a company couldnt foresee the harm that occurs a lot of times they could i mean what the work that youre doing is work that benefits so many people but in the cynical world you have to look at it you have to wonder. Will anything change and i say that because when you look at the german. You know economies investments in china. How credible can we take the German Government and these proposals knowing that youre not talking about human rights or more in force and human rights requirements when youre doing business in china. Well. Thats a difficult question but so one for china you cannot equal chinas labor policies with other human rights records of to chinas government so i would say when you come in to for example wages wages have continually been raised in china so we have no way to know if people for example in a factory in china if those workers are being treated fairly well not if theyre being well you know well but i think thats thats thats a lie we believe the companies to i think they know much better whats going on in their factories and their supply chains then we would believe because they are controlling the Technical Details of the production very closely they just dont havent cared about creating mechanisms to know what the social reality is in the factories and i think thats exactly what they will then be obliged to and id say i wouldnt believe that you cannot know how things are going on in your factory in china yeah thats true i mean its hard to imagine that companies are not in the. Us from the europeans and for constitutional and human rights we appreciate your time tonight your insights thank you thank you.
