when they called me, i recorded it with my other phone. alim has shared recordings of those calls. we ve adapted a few to mask key details. we paid a visit to your family in xinjiang. my colleague collected their details. if you want to see them, i can set up a video call. yes, please arrange that. i just want to talk to them and find out how they are. i won t ask about anything else. ok, no problem. i ll arrange that for you. alim was granted a very unusual video call with his mother. the officer connected them by holding two mobile phones facing each other. he used one phone to connect with my mother, and then he used another phone to contact me, allowing me to see my mother through his screen. when i saw my mother, i couldn t contain my emotions. it had been six to seven years since i last saw her, and it was an incredibly heart wrenching moment. there was a price to pay. the officer wanted something in return. we ve heard that the uyghur activists are planning to meet nex
to stop that co2 from being released into the atmosphere, either by re using it, or storing it underground. take this gas fired power station, for example. as the natural gas is burned to generate power, the carbon dioxide is separated out from it. it s then diverted via another pipeline and stored underground. if the acorn project it is given the go ahead, waste c02 will be piped from central scotland here to st fergus using old pipelines. refineries at mossmoran and grangemouth, as well as a new power station at peterhead, have already signed up. and experts and policy makers say the technology is vital to meeting net zero climate targets. bbc scotland reporter ben philip is in aberdeenshire where the acorn carbon capture and storage project is based. hejoins us now. just take us through exactly what has been announced today for that area. ~ ~ , has been announced today for that area. ~ . , , ., area. well, lucy, we ve been hearing from the premise area. well, luc
burned to generate power, the carbon dioxide is separated out. it s then diverted and stored underground. if the acorn project it is given the go ahead. waste c02 will be piped from central scotland to st fergus. refineries at mossmoran and grangemouth, as well as a new power station at peterhead, have already agreed to take part. and experts and policy makers say the technology is vital to meeting net zero climate targets. our political correspondent ione wells reports. july saw the world heating up. now, political debates around energy and climate chang also hotting up, too. climate change. the government has said it will back hundreds of new licences for oil and gas production sites like this in the north sea. it has also confirmed it will support two new carbon capture and storage projects in north east scotland and the humber. these would capture carbon dioxide where fossil fuels are burned and piped it under the sea to store it. climate campaigners fear it is a tacti
the crisis in niger after last week s military coup are hosted by chad s president. and it s 55 years since britain s first black female tv reporter made her debut we hear the inspiring story of barbara blake hannah. all of those stories coming up in a moment or two. let s cross to the sports centre. sport and for a full round up, from the bbc sport centre. we will start with the women s world cup. to reach the last 16. they had to beat olympic champions canada to be sure of progression, and went 2 0 up in the first half hayley rasso scoring both the goals. mary fowler then struck on the hour mark before steph catley sealed the 4 0 win from the penalty spot in stoppage time. we know we might not have the best team on paper, we might not have the most top players in the top class in the top league but we have something else, that no one can take away from this team and that is the identity and the dna and the belief with the support from the fans. we have something uni
when we are at net zero, it is forecast that around a quarter of our energy needs will still come from oil and gas. that s why technologies like carbon capture and storage are important. but what is important is that we get the oil and gas in the best possible way, and that means getting it from here at home. better for our energy security, not relying on foreign dictators. better forjobs, for example 100,000 supported here in scotland. but also, better for the climate because if we are going to need it, it s far better to have it here at home rather than shipping it to from halfway around the world with two, three, four times the amount of carbon emissions versus the oil and gas we have here. so it is entirely consistent with our plans to get to net zero. the prime minister says that you can do both. jess ralston from the energy and climate intelligence unit says that the uk s green commitments are very popular among voters, and that it would make little sense for the govern
