to below the 1.5 degrees celsius? when we produced our landmark report five years ago, we said it was possible within the laws of physics and chemistry, and the biggest obstacle to keeping within the limit was actually on the social and institutional side. we, i think, now need to move to the position, we have to look very hard at whether we will be pushing against technical and economic barriers in terms of limiting warming to1.5. it is not absolutely impossible, but the chances are diminishing. and, really, it s hanging on a thread at the moment. right. isn t that a tactful way of saying, i m not in a position to be conclusive about this, but as far as i m concerned, as an experienced scientist, it is simply not going to happen ? the average temperature rise is going to go appreciably beyond 1.5. yeah, ipcc s job is to assess the literature that we have out there already, and we haven t got quite the literature yet to absolutely write off the 1.5 limit. and we need ....

thanks for the invite. it is great to have you in this studio. let s start with a blunt first question. is it time for the international community to junk this idea that there s any possibility of limiting worldwide temperature rise to below the 1.5 degrees celsius? when we produced our landmark report five years ago, we said it was possible within the laws of physics and chemistry, and the biggest obstacle to keeping within the limit was actually on the social and institutional side. we, i think, now need to move to the position, we have to look very hard at whether we will be pushing against technical and economic barriers in terms of limiting warming to1.5. it is not absolutely impossible, but the chances are diminishing. and, really, it s hanging on a thread at the moment. right. isn t that a tactful way of saying, i m not in a position to be conclusive about this, but as far as i m concerned, as an experienced scientist, it is simply not going to happen ? the av ....
it s also more climate friendly. microsoft is letting its new ai checks will help kick start a new era of pc sales. sticking with al a global summit on artificial intelligence kicks off in south korea s capital of seoul on tuesday, focusing largely on al safety. this follows an inaugural meeting held in the uk last november. i spoke to industry expert wei sun about her expectations from this summit, but started off by asking if she thinks microsoft s new pcs will be a game changer. i think it s a big moment for not only microsoft in the pc industry, but also shows the ambition and capability of incorporating the pc, so everyone can have it at any anywhere. it is a big change. return back to the summit, what will be the main focus of these meetings and south korea? i think the government and the countries will need to collaborate on consensus on al framework, especially for legal frameworks. so everyone can collaborate better. also, you mentioned microsoft, last week a ....
to the people they are exploiting, you have never met a criminal gang. those gangs are vile, they are making a huge amount of money. they are putting people in boats that they shouldn t be. we have to be serious about smashing those gangs and taking them down. that is where the border security command comes in. new command, new resources and new powers, including counterterrorism powers. we talk about small boats. that is the language that is used. if you look at the bouts that are being used these days, they are not that small. they are being made to order, stored in europe and moved up to the north coast of france. vulnerable people are being put in them for money by violent gangs. i worked for years as a prosecutor and i worked with police and law in florence law enforcement across europe to take down these gangs. they are sophisticated gangs, by the way. i would never accept that it is impossible to take down the vile gangs that bring people in small boats to cro ....
