[00:01:23] business news now and Sally is here here with all the top stories. I
[00:01:26] I am indeed. Nice to see you. Yes, Yes, we're going to start with what's
[00:01:29] what's going on in the Middle East East and the price of oil. It has
[00:01:33] has dipped on hopes of diplomatic diplomatic progress on ending the
[00:01:36] the US-Iran war, but remains at its
[00:01:38] its highest level for months. Iranian Iranian negotiators were in Qatar
[00:01:41] Qatar on Sunday for the third consecutive consecutive day of talks. Now they
[00:01:45] they have left. But Reuters is reporting
[00:01:47] reporting a draft proposal is being
[00:01:49] being circulated and a follow-up follow-up meeting is possible. Iranians
[00:01:53] Iranians foreign Iran's foreign minister, minister, though, has said Tehran
[00:01:56] Tehran is prepared for both defence
[00:01:58] defence and diplomacy amid growing
[00:02:00] growing concern. American and Israeli Israeli attacks could resume after
[00:02:03] after the US midterm elections. Meanwhile, Meanwhile, shipping in the Gulf continues
[00:02:07] continues to be under threat. On On Sunday, Iranian state TV reported
[00:02:10] reported that two oil tankers exploded
[00:02:13] exploded after striking mines while while travelling through an unauthorised
[00:02:16] unauthorised route in the Strait Strait of Hormuz, citing the Islamic
[00:02:20] Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps
[00:02:21] Corps Navy. Now we cannot verify
[00:02:24] verify these pictures and where they they were taken. However, oil prices
[00:02:27] prices still remain around their their highest level for six months. months. The international benchmark
[00:02:31] benchmark Brent crude is currently currently trading at around $110
[00:02:35] $110 per barrel. Middle East energy energy analyst Kate Dorian has been
[00:02:38] been telling us about the current
[00:02:40] current state of play. The Israeli Israeli elections were inconclusive,
[00:02:44] inconclusive, so Mr Netanyahu is
[00:02:45] is is going to remain as caretaker. caretaker. So and we know what his
[00:02:49] his position is. He wants you know,
[00:02:52] know, he wants Iran. He wants more
[00:02:55] more attacks against Iran. He wants wants regime change. But at the same
[00:02:59] same time, we're seeing some diplomatic diplomatic moves. Qatar obviously
[00:03:03] obviously is one of those Gulf countries countries that was really, really
[00:03:05] really hit hard by the closure of of the Strait of Hormuz. And, you
[00:03:09] you know, because they don't have
[00:03:10] have the option to move their tankers
[00:03:14] tankers and export LNG, which is is why we've seen such very, very
[00:03:17] very high prices for gas in Europe Europe in recent weeks. They've come
[00:03:21] come off a little bit, but it's you
[00:03:25] you know, the market is also bracing bracing for the possibility that
[00:03:28] that after the midterm elections elections in the US, there may be
[00:03:31] be renewed attacks against Iran. Iran. Iran has said that there would
[00:03:35] would be no geographic limit to its its response. So, you know, we're
[00:03:38] we're still in a state of no war,
[00:03:40] war, no peace, diplomatic efforts
[00:03:43] efforts ongoing. But the US doesn't doesn't seem to be involved. It's
[00:03:46] It's between Qatar and Iran. So we
[00:03:48] we just have to wait and see. But
[00:03:50] But prices have come off on, on expectations
[00:03:52] expectations that there may be a a diplomatic solution. Yeah. On the
[00:03:56] the hope so a bit more positive than than negative today. But in the meantime,
[00:03:59] meantime, in Saudi Arabia, the attacks
[00:04:01] attacks continues. The Iran backed
[00:04:04] backed Houthis in Yemen continue
[00:04:06] continue to target Saudi Arabia. Arabia. And that is ongoing, isn't
[00:04:09] isn't it? Despite all the efforts
[00:04:11] efforts to end that war that we heard
[00:04:14] heard from the internationally backed backed government of Yemen? Well,
[00:04:17] Well, exactly. Yes. You've seen attacks.
[00:04:19] attacks. I mean, the Red Sea, the
[00:04:22] the routes out of the Red Sea in in the south, the Bab el Mandeb is
[00:04:25] is still under the control of the the Houthis. So Saudi Arabia is shipping
[00:04:29] shipping more crude through the Strait Strait of Hormuz, which is quite
[00:04:32] quite risky because you have to and and it's also a costly exercise because
[00:04:36] because you need two tankers to conduct
[00:04:38] conduct these ship to ship transfers
[00:04:42] transfers and then through Bab el el Mandeb. If you can't go through through the south, you have to go
[00:04:46] go through the north, through the the Suez Canal, which means going going around the Horn of Africa because
[00:04:50] because the main market is in Asia. Asia. So that ties up your tankers,
[00:04:53] tankers, which is why we're seeing seeing very high freight rates. We're
[00:04:56] We're seeing high insurance rates rates and we're seeing a shortage
[00:04:59] shortage of refined fuels like diesel,
[00:05:03] diesel, which is much higher than
[00:05:06] than oil than crude oil. So that's that's why, you know, if you look
[00:05:09] look at just the price of oil futures, futures, it doesn't really reflect
[00:05:12] reflect the realities of the market.
[00:05:15] market. Kate Dourian there. Now let's
[00:05:18] let's talk about Binance because because investors have withdrawn
[00:05:22] withdrawn over $3 billion worth of
[00:05:24] of assets from the cryptocurrency
[00:05:27] cryptocurrency site after its enormous enormous cyber attack at the end
[00:05:29] end of last week. So the exchange
[00:05:31] exchange came back online on Sunday.
[00:05:33] Sunday. And Binance says withdrawals withdrawals are stabilising after
[00:05:37] after an initial spike and that deposit
[00:05:39] deposit volumes remain substantial. substantial. The exchange says it's
[00:05:43] it's covered around 95% of the $6.3
[00:05:47] $6.3 billion taken in what is suspected suspected to be crypto's biggest
[00:05:50] biggest hack on record. Last week. week. Over the weekend, the FBI said
[00:05:54] said that North Korea was responsible responsible for the attack. Alice
[00:05:57] Alice Taylor is a digital forensics forensics researcher at Oxford Information
[00:06:01] Information Labs and says this is is a key moment for confidence in
[00:06:04] in crypto. There is this huge impact
[00:06:08] impact of just sort of like reputational
[00:06:11] reputational damage really of people
[00:06:14] people losing confidence and obviously obviously with a cryptocurrency exchange,
[00:06:17] exchange, it's so obvious to see,
[00:06:19] see, you know, the impact of that
[00:06:21] that kind of lack of confidence.
[00:06:24] confidence. And a lot of people are
[00:06:26] are sort of questioning, you know, know, like is the FBI have now linked
[00:06:30] linked the cyber attack to North North Korea. So it is definitive definitive and they've said that
[00:06:34] that very clearly. It's not just just sort of knowledge from private
[00:06:37] private research companies. They're They're sort of saying is cryptocurrency
[00:06:40] cryptocurrency now just kind of like
[00:06:42] like a funnel for North Korean state
[00:06:45] state sanctioned warfare? I think
[00:06:47] think this is definitely a moment
[00:06:50] moment of reflection for cryptocurrency
[00:06:52] cryptocurrency generally. Now to to something that more and more of
[00:06:56] of us may be feeling in the workplace
[00:06:58] workplace or experiencing, especially especially amidst the geopolitical
[00:07:02] geopolitical turmoil around the world world and fast changing technology.
[00:07:05] technology. Campaigners are trying trying to raise awareness this week
[00:07:08] week about stress and the impact impact it can have left unaddressed.
[00:07:11] unaddressed. Stress can affect your your health and wellbeing. Increasing
[00:07:15] Increasing sickness, absence and and impacting workplace performance.
[00:07:18] performance. We've been talking to to a human performance expert who's
[00:07:21] who's trained people working in some
[00:07:22] some of the most high pressure environments environments in the world from the
[00:07:26] the US Air Force to the sales floors floors of Goldman Sachs. He took
[00:07:30] took me through some of the advice
[00:07:32] advice he gives. Stress in and of
[00:07:34] of itself actually is is not the
[00:07:36] the issue. And the avoidance of stress stress certainly isn't the answer.
[00:07:40] answer. But stress in the absence absence of recovery does become problematic.
[00:07:43] problematic. So the main message message is we need the stress that
[00:07:47] that actually creates the opportunity opportunity to optimise performance. performance. The opportunity for
[00:07:51] for us to grow as humans, but we
[00:07:53] we also have to pay attention to
[00:07:56] to where the growth happens and the the growth happens in the recovery
[00:07:59] recovery phase. And that's the part part that's missing for most people
[00:08:02] people in business. And candidly, candidly, most people out there trying
[00:08:05] trying to do hard things, whatever whatever the endeavour. Is it true
[00:08:09] true to say, Nick, that currently
[00:08:11] currently stress levels are higher
[00:08:14] higher in any in any work environment, environment, partly because of just
[00:08:17] just what's going on in the world? world? Something that I'm talking
[00:08:20] talking about in my workplace all
[00:08:22] all the time. The concern about what's
[00:08:24] what's happening in, in the Middle Middle East in, in, in countries
[00:08:28] countries across Europe. And we saw saw very a lot of stress across Europe
[00:08:31] Europe over the weekend where we we saw riots in Germany and France
[00:08:35] France and protests and all sorts.
[00:08:38] sorts. Yeah. And I think this is is really an issue of what we would
[00:08:42] would call locus of control when when we talk about these stressors.
[00:08:45] stressors. So that's an important important word. The stressor is the
[00:08:49] the thing that's delivering the stress stress to the individual. We often
[00:08:52] often talk about them in very big big kind of macro descriptions like
[00:08:56] like what's happening in the Middle Middle East, what's happening in
[00:08:58] in my company, the brain fundamentally fundamentally doesn't like that because
[00:09:01] because it feels like it has no control.
[00:09:04] control. We're just reacting to whatever whatever this thing is going to do do to us. So so for example, what
[00:09:08] what we need to do in those situations situations is start to pay attention
[00:09:12] attention to what we can control.
[00:09:14] control. And that shifts the locus locus from external to internal.
[00:09:17] internal. Now I'm going to decide decide how I interact with this situation,
[00:09:21] situation, however big, however complex, complex, I'm going to do it on my
[00:09:25] my terms and that calms the psychology psychology down. And that then in
[00:09:28] in turn calms off physiology down, down, which is very important in
[00:09:31] in our ability to sustain our performance
[00:09:34] performance without getting exhausted, exhausted, overwhelmed or burning
[00:09:36] burning out. As you said, Nick, mental
[00:09:40] mental health and mental wellbeing wellbeing and reducing stress was
[00:09:43] was something that was, was not talked talked about until more recently.
[00:09:47] recently. Are we better at dealing dealing with it? Do you think? I
[00:09:51] I think we're on the way. That's That's why we do the work we do.
[00:09:54] do. That's why we've now taken the
[00:09:56] the book of our work Stressed Self Self to Best Self out into the world
[00:09:59] world so that anybody, anywhere can can get access to it. I think the
[00:10:03] the first thing is we have to recognise recognise our stress warning signs.
[00:10:07] signs. We've all we've got very good good at ignoring the way the body
[00:10:10] body is communicating with us, that that we are starting to experience experience stress. That's kind of
[00:10:14] of problem number one. So we have have to just learn what it looks
[00:10:17] looks like for us to be under stress, stress, whether that's a physical
[00:10:20] physical response or a mental response response that can be us getting hyper
[00:10:24] hyper distracted or hyper focused. focused. And those emotional responses
[00:10:28] responses anxiety, fear, being combative.
[00:10:31] combative. That's just useful information. information. And we do have to start start paying attention to that. And
[00:10:34] And then we've got to say what happens happens next. And the thing we need
[00:10:37] need to do next is almost often, often, you know, do something in
[00:10:41] in the heat of the moment to hold hold our performance level whilst
[00:10:44] whilst we're dealing with this stress.
[00:10:48] stress. Nick Propper there, there there you are talking to us earlier
[00:10:51] earlier about stress and the irony
[00:10:52] irony of this, Martin, was just moments
[00:10:56] moments before he was on air. My My other guest was a no show, so
[00:10:59] so so. You had a moment of stress. stress. Really stressed and. How
[00:11:01] How did you deal with it? Spoke slowly,
[00:11:05] slowly, probably speaking. Just keep keep you know. Yeah. It's amazing amazing how slowly you can speak.
[00:11:08] speak. In Finding Nemo. Just keep keep swimming. Just keep swimming.
[00:11:11] swimming. Definitely. That's all all you can do. It's all you can
[00:11:14] can do. Around the world and across
[00:11:16] across the UK.
[00:12:19] Ukrainians are braced for what could could be a very tough winter ahead. ahead. Stay with us on BBC News and and we'll Ukrainians are braced for what
[00:12:22] and we'll bring you the latest. This
[00:12:28] This is BBC News. Let's get more more on the US midterm elections,
[00:12:32] elections, which are just a day away.
[00:12:33] away. This is the scene live in Washington. Washington. Tomorrow, millions of
[00:12:37] of voters across the country will will determine the balance of power
[00:12:40] power in Congress. And while the the Democrats are widely predicted
[00:12:43] predicted to flip the House of Representatives, Representatives, the Senate is still
[00:12:46] still up for grabs. Ros Atkins explains explains why these midterm elections
[00:12:50] elections matter. Let's remind ourselves ourselves of what's at stake. The
[00:12:53] The midterms are all about who controls controls the two houses of Congress.
[00:12:57] Congress. The House of Representatives Representatives and the Senate. This This matters because it's the part
[00:13:00] part of the US government that makes makes laws for the country as a whole
[00:13:04] whole on everything from immigration immigration to taxes to defence.
[00:13:07] defence. And right now both houses houses are controlled by the Republicans,
[00:13:10] Republicans, as you can see, which which is very helpful to President
[00:13:13] President Trump. Now the House of of Representatives is where proposed
[00:13:16] proposed laws are introduced and and debated. Each state gets a number
[00:13:20] number of seats proportionate to to its population. Members serve
[00:13:23] serve two-year terms, which means means that all of the seats in the
[00:13:26] the House are up for grabs in this
[00:13:29] this election, there are 435 of them. them. So to control the house, a
[00:13:32] a party needs at least 218. And according
[00:13:35] according to the polls, the Republicans Republicans may have their work cut
[00:13:38] cut out. Holding on to the House House of Representatives. Then there's
[00:13:42] there's the Senate, one of its main main jobs is to approve or reject
[00:13:45] reject those laws proposed by the
[00:13:47] the House. Each state has two senators,
[00:13:49] senators, so there are 100 in total.
[00:13:51] total. They serve six year terms terms every two years. Roughly a
[00:13:55] a third of Senate seats are contested,
[00:13:58] contested, so it's 35 this year to
[00:14:00] to control the Senate. A party needs
[00:14:03] needs 51 or more, though if it's it's 50-50, the Vice President can
[00:14:06] can cast the deciding vote. So that that favours the Republicans at the
[00:14:10] the moment. So there is a lot at
[00:14:12] at stake. And who controls Congress Congress is not just relevant to
[00:14:15] to the laws that get made for America America as a whole. Of course, it's
[00:14:18] it's also relevant to whoever is is president, as Donald Trump goes
[00:14:22] goes into the last two years of his his presidency. Well, when voters
[00:14:25] voters are making their choices in in this election, of course they're they're telling us something about
[00:14:29] about what they think of the two two main parties, but they're also
[00:14:32] also telling us something about what
[00:14:33] what they think of their president. president. Ros Atkins our correspondents
[00:14:37] correspondents in the US have been been travelling to key places where
[00:14:40] where the race is too close to call.
[00:14:42] call. Our chief North America correspondent, correspondent, Gary O'Donoghue, is
[00:14:46] is in Texas. This state is shaping shaping up to be one of the most
[00:14:50] most consequential contests in these these elections. I'm in Texas, where
[00:14:53] where the battle for a single Senate Senate seat could end up deciding
[00:14:57] deciding who controls Congress. More
[00:14:59] More than half $1 billion has been been spent on advertising alone,
[00:15:02] alone, making it the most expensive
[00:15:05] expensive non-presidential race in
[00:15:07] in American history. Democrat James James Talarico and Republican Ken
[00:15:10] Ken Paxton are in a race that's too
[00:15:13] too close to call. Democrats haven't
[00:15:16] haven't won here statewide since
[00:15:18] since 1994. If they manage it this
[00:15:21] this time around, it'll be the big
[00:15:23] big story of the night. Tom Bateman
[00:15:26] Bateman is with early voters in Ohio.
[00:15:28] Ohio. We're. Just look how long this
[00:15:31] this line is for early voting here here in the state of Ohio. Some of
[00:15:35] of the guys here told me they've they've been waiting 2.5 hours already
[00:15:37] already to cast their ballot in the the building over there ahead of
[00:15:41] of Tuesday's midterm election. And And we're hearing that the rates
[00:15:44] rates of early in-person voting are
[00:15:46] are way up on what they were four
[00:15:49] four years ago. Here. Now, the big big issue, as soon as we got here,
[00:15:52] here, someone said to me the cost cost of gas price of petrol as it
[00:15:56] it is nationwide, of course, but but this state has been marked by
[00:16:00] by an incredibly acrimonious race.
[00:16:03] race. The Republicans hold this state state both in the Senate and for
[00:16:07] for the governor's mansion. There's There's been a big row as far as
[00:16:09] as that's concerned over the attack attack ads in that particular race.
[00:16:13] race. It all shows you just how bitterly
[00:16:15] bitterly fought the state of Ohio
[00:16:18] Ohio is going to be. Nada Tawfik
[00:16:19] Tawfik looks at the tight race in
[00:16:22] in Michigan. The tight race here
[00:16:26] here in Michigan has been one of of the nastiest, with the President
[00:16:28] President of the United States amplifying amplifying anti-Muslim rhetoric in
[00:16:31] in large part to help his fellow fellow Republican, Mike Rogers win
[00:16:35] win over black and Jewish voters voters who weren't enthusiastic about
[00:16:37] about left wing and Israel critic
[00:16:40] critic Abdul El-Sayed winning the the Democratic nomination. Doctor
[00:16:42] Doctor El-Sayed was born in the US US to Egyptian parents and would
[00:16:45] would be the first Muslim senator.
[00:16:47] senator. Trump has called him a jihadist jihadist and promoted the baseless
[00:16:51] baseless conspiracy theory that he he wants to impose Islamic law in
[00:16:54] in America. If El-Sayed wins despite despite that, in this swing state
[00:16:58] state with his populist platform, platform, it would be a big win for
[00:17:01] for the progressive movement as the the fractured Democratic Party fiercely
[00:17:05] fiercely debates its future direction direction ahead of presidential elections
[00:17:08] elections in 2028. Some of the key
[00:17:10] key battleground states there. But But when can we expect results to
[00:17:14] to come in? Caitriona Perry looks
[00:17:16] looks ahead. When will we know the
[00:17:19] the outcome of the US midterm elections? elections? Well, there's no easy
[00:17:21] easy answer to that. We won't get get any results until the polls start
[00:17:25] start closing beginning at 6pm eastern,
[00:17:27] eastern, 11pm in the UK. And even even then it may take some time.
[00:17:30] time. The results in areas where where one party is dominant could
[00:17:33] could come in quite quickly, and and that may give us a sense of any
[00:17:37] any swing against President Trump's Trump's Republican Party. But unlike unlike a presidential election this
[00:17:41] this time it's about which party party will be in control of the House
[00:17:44] House of Representatives and the the Senate. So we're not waiting waiting on the outcome of a single
[00:17:48] single person, but rather the whole whole team. And only then will we
[00:17:52] we know who's in control of Congress. Congress. Now for races that are are close, it could take days or
[00:17:56] or even weeks to count the votes, votes, but it's completely normal.
[00:17:58] normal. The latest polls don't close close until it's evening time in
[00:18:02] in Alaska, which is 1am here on the the East Coast Wednesday morning,
[00:18:06] morning, 6am in the UK. And indeed indeed this year that could be one
[00:18:09] one of the seats we're waiting on on that will decide the balance of
[00:18:13] of power in the Senate. Pollster
[00:18:16] Pollster Joe Lynskey explains how how the exit polls work for the midterms.
[00:18:20] midterms. Well, an exit poll is a a survey of voters after they voted,
[00:18:24] voted, whether that's in person on on election day, in person at early
[00:18:27] early voting stations around the the country or by mail voters who
[00:18:31] who may vote before election day.
[00:18:33] day. And we contact nearly 100,000
[00:18:36] 100,000 voters randomly selected selected around the country to ask
[00:18:39] ask them questions about who they they are, why they voted the way
[00:18:42] way they voted, what issues were were important to them. And that
[00:18:45] that information is compiled so that that news organisations can analyse
[00:18:48] analyse that data to make profiles profiles of voters, see the trends
[00:18:52] trends over the decades in which which we've been conducting exit
[00:18:55] exit polls and to project outcomes
[00:18:56] outcomes of races around the country.
[00:19:01] country. Joe Lynskey waste industry industry leaders have written to to the Home Office calling for a
[00:19:04] a complete ban on the retail sale sale of nitrous oxide cylinders,
[00:19:08] cylinders, commonly used as laughing laughing gas. The firms say they
[00:19:11] they are seeing extraordinary numbers numbers of explosions at their sites
[00:19:15] sites each week, despite possession possession of nitrous oxide becoming becoming a criminal offence for recreational
[00:19:19] recreational use in England and Wales Wales three years ago. Many waste
[00:19:22] waste facilities are dealing with with canisters and cylinders in record
[00:19:25] record numbers. Fiona Lambden reports.
[00:19:29] reports. This eruption in the back back of a refuse lorry is down to
[00:19:33] to canisters of nitrous oxide exploding.
[00:19:35] exploding. Now millions of these
[00:19:37] these are ending up hidden in our
[00:19:40] our waste, which is a huge issue.
[00:19:43] issue. Nitrous oxide comes in two
[00:19:45] two sizes. These tiny little cartridges
[00:19:48] cartridges or these larger canisters. canisters. Now when these are empty,
[00:19:51] empty, they're empty. But these always
[00:19:54] always keep some of their pressure. pressure. And that's a problem when
[00:19:56] when they end up in here. For the
[00:20:00] the last three years, nitrous oxide oxide has been banned as a recreational
[00:20:04] recreational drug, but it remains remains legal when used for legitimate
[00:20:07] legitimate purposes like catering catering and medical treatment. I
[00:20:10] I imagine it's almost impossible impossible to spot one of these in
[00:20:13] in that massive pile of rubbish behind behind us. That's right. The bunker
[00:20:16] bunker behind us holds several thousand thousand tonnes of black bag waste
[00:20:19] waste in one go. So looking for something something like that is like looking
[00:20:22] looking for a needle in a haystack. haystack. Just based on the numbers
[00:20:25] numbers of pressurised nitrous oxide oxide cylinders that we're seeing
[00:20:28] seeing arrive at facilities like like this, there are millions of
[00:20:31] of them being sold on the UK market, market, and that clearly outstrips
[00:20:35] outstrips the legitimate use for for whipped cream. You know, not not that many people are whipping
[00:20:38] whipping cream with these, so they they are mostly being used by people
[00:20:41] people who are abusing it as a drug. drug. And so the way sector and local
[00:20:45] local councils now want a total ban
[00:20:47] ban on the larger pressurised cylinders. cylinders. The first thing we do
[00:20:50] do is a waste industry. When we come come and pick them up is we crush
[00:20:53] crush them in the back of a vehicle vehicle when they're mixed with other other waste, we then bring them to
[00:20:57] to facilities like this where we we put them through a furnace and and we expose them to heat. And of
[00:21:01] of course, each one of them is then then like a ticking time bomb and and they can explode with the same
[00:21:05] same power as a hand grenade. And And that causes huge amount of damage
[00:21:08] damage and it puts people at risk.
[00:21:11] risk. From February next year, new new EU rules are expected to restrict
[00:21:15] restrict the sale of nitrous oxide
[00:21:17] oxide to the general public. Well,
[00:21:20] Well, this is the before and the the after, and you can only imagine
[00:21:23] imagine the force of the explosion
[00:21:26] explosion which would decimate the the canister like this. OK, so we
[00:21:29] we can see the two furnaces, which which is where we burn the waste.
[00:21:33] waste. We can see. Tom says it's it's costing their plant millions
[00:21:36] millions of pounds each year. These These are probably the biggest issue issue we're seeing at the moment.
[00:21:40] moment. We see around 7000 explosions explosions a year across our sites.
[00:21:44] sites. And on average that's two two explosions per site per day.
[00:21:47] day. And here we produce electricity electricity for around 50,000 homes.
[00:21:51] homes. So when we're not processing, processing, we're also not producing
[00:21:54] producing electricity. We've just
[00:21:56] just left the waste facility. We've
[00:21:58] We've driven about 100m. And here here we found by the side of the
[00:22:02] the road seven cans of nitrous oxide.
[00:22:04] oxide. The advice if you find it,
[00:22:07] it, is to speak to your local recycling
[00:22:10] recycling centre and until there's there's a ban, campaigners say millions
[00:22:13] millions of canisters are entering entering the waste stream, turning
[00:22:16] turning everyday rubbish into a potential
[00:22:19] potential hazard. Fiona Lamdin, BBC
[00:22:23] BBC News. A man who set off to walk walk around the world 28 years ago,
[00:22:27] ago, is expected to return home today. today. Karl Bushby is due to become
[00:22:30] become the first person to complete
[00:22:32] complete a round the world walk of
[00:22:35] of 31,000 miles, or 50,000km. Paul
[00:22:38] Paul Murphy reports. All right guys,
[00:22:41] guys, thanks. The final leg. Of an an adventure that's consumed most
[00:22:45] most of his adult life. Karl Bushby
[00:22:48] Bushby and his trusty luggage carrier carrier known as the beast crossed
[00:22:51] crossed the Humber Bridge towards towards his home in Hull. Yeah, the
[00:22:55] the Humber Bridge has always been been that iconic landmark in my mind
[00:22:58] mind that I've, you know, has been
[00:23:00] been one of the big the big pieces.
[00:23:02] pieces. And that's final step. I I mean this is just amazing. Never
[00:23:06] Never could have imagined the kind kind of reception throughout the the country and it's really ramping
[00:23:10] ramping up now we're getting getting getting home. Karl Bushby left his
[00:23:14] his home in Hull in 1998 and flew
[00:23:17] flew to South America to begin his
[00:23:20] his walk under his own rules, he he wasn't allowed motorised transport
[00:23:23] transport for the challenge or to
[00:23:25] to return to the UK before the walk
[00:23:27] walk was done. You have to take that that that leap of faith. You've got
[00:23:31] got to take that jump. You've got got to you know, you've got to get
[00:23:34] get out there and find yourself one
[00:23:37] one day standing at the beginning
[00:23:40] beginning of a 50,000 kilometre road. road. The BBC caught up with him
[00:23:44] him 24 years ago after he'd made
[00:23:46] made the dangerous crossing between between South and North America.
[00:23:49] America. We found Karl Bushby in
[00:23:52] in the Arizona desert, relieved to to have made it through land controlled
[00:23:56] controlled by South American drug drug gangs. When you get out beyond
[00:23:59] beyond that second set of hills over over there, the problems begin. Me
[00:24:03] Me and the equipment could quite
[00:24:05] quite literally just mingle in. His His walk hasn't been continuous.
[00:24:08] continuous. He's often needed to to fly back to his base in Mexico
[00:24:12] Mexico after several delays, including including problems with visas, politics
[00:24:16] politics and the weather. If you you actually break down the amount
[00:24:19] amount of time actually spent walking, walking, you're looking at about
[00:24:22] about 15 years. The rest of it has
[00:24:24] has been spent dealing with stuff
[00:24:27] stuff or waiting because of those those rules and because we weren't
[00:24:31] weren't willing to compromise on on the route. This will be a test test because really not sure how
[00:24:34] how we're going to cope with the
[00:24:36] the other side. In 2006, shortly
[00:24:39] shortly after one of three visits visits from his mother, Carl crossed
[00:24:42] crossed the Bering Strait between
[00:24:44] between Alaska and Russia, only to to be detained by the Russians on
[00:24:48] on suspicion of spying. You know,
[00:24:51] know, we'd cross the Bering Straits Straits on foot. We thought that
[00:24:54] that we had got a warm reception
[00:24:55] reception than we did. We were wrong.
[00:24:58] wrong. Eventually, from when we landed landed on the Russian coast to get
[00:25:02] get into Mongolia, looking at I think think it was more than ten years.
[00:25:05] years. Just that section. It took took six years to do the entire length
[00:25:08] length of the Americas. He was looking
