[00:01:02] of its so-called yellow line in the east of Gaza City. Military
[00:01:06] vehicles advanced beyond their existing positions in the shujaia
[00:01:09] neighborhood under the cover of heavy gunfire and shelling. The
[00:01:13] UN says almost

[00:01:15] of the enclave is inaccessible to Palestinians or subject to severe
[00:01:19] restrictions. President Voladimir

[00:01:32] agreed to stop targeting each other's energy infrastructure. He
[00:01:36] announced the deal, but didn't share any further details. It comes days
[00:01:39] after he struck deal with Russian president Vladimir Putin to buy
[00:01:43] large
[00:01:44] of quantities of diesel. Pakistan's
[00:01:48] government has taken control of Kaiba Paktonkwa, the stronghold of
[00:01:52] jailed former Prime Minister Imran Khan's party. Officials
[00:01:55] accused the
[00:01:56] a provincial government of failing to tackle armed groups. elected
[00:02:00] administration has now been
[00:02:05] of suspended, they blocked all the roots by placing containers, why have the roots been
[00:02:08] blocked, the public voted for them, where is democracy, who is not
[00:02:12] implementing the constitution, look here, wherever the constitution is
[00:02:16] not being implemented, you should get it implemented, why are you
[00:02:20] humiliating the
[00:02:21] in public? and in india, the opposition alliance is expected to march
[00:02:25] towards the supreme court in the coming hours to support the youth lead cockroach
[00:02:29] move. the proposed demonstration comes a day after the movement's
[00:02:33] leaders were released from detention. the news
[00:02:37] continues after round
[00:02:38] table.
[00:02:49] of coming up on this week's review of round
[00:02:53] table. three years since the genocide in Gaza
[00:02:56] began, I speak to the UK's Palestinian ambassador. about the
[00:03:00] shift in global attitudes and his hope for a future state of
[00:03:04] Palestine in his lifetime. Also on the show, the
[00:03:08] UN estimates the rebuild of Gaza
[00:03:10] a will cost $71 billion dollars. Who will
[00:03:14] a pay? EU states are
[00:03:17] of divided over its made-in europe plan to counter competition from
[00:03:20] China. Can they unite before it's too
[00:03:23] late? And as this year's Godzilla
[00:03:27] of Elninho intensifies science. is warn of extreme
[00:03:31] peace, death
[00:03:32] of risk.
[00:03:48] hello and welcome to this week's review of round table. i'm mentor
[00:03:51] brady, now palestine's ambassador to the UK who sumlot
[00:03:55] says Britain has moved from words to action as it resets
[00:03:59] its policy on Israel, the UK recently announced sanctions
[00:04:03] targeting Israeli settlers in the occupied west bank and
[00:04:06] formally recognized the state of Palestine in September last
[00:04:10] year. I discuss with Zumlot how political and global
[00:04:13] public sentiment towards Israel has shifted. Talk to
[00:04:17] me about how you felt seeing what happened in the United States, for example, the the
[00:04:21] Macalmore concerts, edgeren's involvement as well,
[00:04:25] countries like Ireland, players not wanting to play against Israel. Do you think
[00:04:28] things have shifted in term? of a cultural boycott as well, water shed
[00:04:32] moments,
[00:04:33] of the those are watershed moments that are
[00:04:35] of recorded in the history in the long journey and march
[00:04:39] in of the palestinian people towards freedom, and that's why I stood by the
[00:04:43] UK foreign secretary in Liverpool last week during the labor
[00:04:46] party conference, and I said,
[00:04:48] of Mr. Secretary, today I can say that this is
[00:04:52] Palestine's South Africa moment because
[00:04:54] of these watershed moments. We have always had the people, the
[00:04:58] people at the grassroot.
[00:05:01] of level at the streets have always sided with justice, but
[00:05:05] we had issue with mainstreaming because
[00:05:10] in of the media because of the narrative, because
[00:05:10] of the false hasbara. and and
[00:05:13] you know disinformation campaign, you know the story very well, but
[00:05:17] now it is mainstream it is at the celebrity
[00:05:21] level, these are big names, i was following one after
[00:05:25] another, and it wasn't just about the heroic act and the very
[00:05:29] principled act of Mclamore, he was the one who knocked
[00:05:32] you know the the the wall and the flood gates
[00:05:36] came right open because the entire band with ed
[00:05:39] Sharen declined to participate,
[00:05:43] all Irish people, they that was a collective act of saying, it is our
[00:05:47] right, it is our freedom of speech, we will speak our minds as
[00:05:51] artists, and then only two days ago you've seen another
[00:05:54] mega, mega superstar, Zach,
[00:05:58] Brian, having a shirt free Palestine, so the flood gate
[00:06:02] is or gates are open, and that's why I said last week, this is
[00:06:06] our South Africa moment, and what do I mean by South Africa moment? This
[00:06:10] is moment when the people the world as to the south africans,
[00:06:14] the people the world decided to collapse the apartide regime and it
[00:06:18] was collapse and south africa was free and mandela was free, when
[00:06:22] the people decide, maybe it takes time, your job and my job is to
[00:06:26] make that time you know to bridge
[00:06:29] that gap between the people and the governments, whether in Britain, whether in the US
[00:06:33] or anywhere else, but definitely, definitely the the direction
[00:06:37] of travel is going towards the finally the
[00:06:41] achieving palestinian rights with a global movement, Palestine
[00:06:45] has become globalized and Israel has
[00:06:48] become the glob palestinized, meaning there has been
[00:06:52] a great deal of violation of human rights
[00:06:56] everywhere starting from Palestine, because when genocide is being
[00:07:00] normalized, other actors are watching, so people other
[00:07:03] people have realized that what happens in Palestine does not stop
[00:07:07] in Palestine, and now as result you have global Palestine where
[00:07:11] Palestine has become global. and it has become a
[00:07:14] domestic political election issue in every
[00:07:18] country and that's why governments are listening because their people are telling
[00:07:22] are telling them if you take the right decision if you side with the
[00:07:26] right side
[00:07:28] if you side with justice with international law you will be rewarded
[00:07:32] in the ballet box if not you will be punished that's a
[00:07:36] huge historic development ambassador you mentioned elections there
[00:07:40] is an election coming in israel you like to see happen, what would you like to
[00:07:44] see the Israeli people do at the ballot box?
[00:07:48] elect leaders who would recognize that Israel cannot
[00:07:51] exist at the expense of another people, that it cannot subjugate,
[00:07:55] oppress,
[00:07:56] you know, steal the land of demolish houses of
[00:08:00] genocide, ethnic lensing of another people for 80 years, this
[00:08:04] has got to stub, they need to deliver their verdict via the ballet box
[00:08:08] that they will elect leaders who will stand there and say we
[00:08:12] recognize the Palestinian able right of self determination and we
[00:08:16] recognize the state of Palestine and we will work together so we establish
[00:08:20] neighborly relationship. That's what I expect. However,
[00:08:23] this is not the case. Palestine does not exist in the
[00:08:27] Israeli elections right now. Our rights are not part their conversation.
[00:08:31] There is no one zionist party in Israel that
[00:08:34] is engaged in and even willing to think
[00:08:38] and engage with us about the two-state solution. What will it say about?
[00:08:43] Israeli society, if people like Smodric and Ben Gavier
[00:08:46] get reelected given everything they've said over the past three years and
[00:08:50] done that they have gotten the wrong message by the international community that they could
[00:08:54] have the cake and 82, they have a culture of impunity that they
[00:08:58] could keep going from extreme to fanatical extreme to
[00:09:01] fascism all the way to smatrage and being ver without consequences. the
[00:09:05] issue with the Israeli public is that they were told by Netanyahu
[00:09:08] they can actually make and turn, he can turn the occupation in...
[00:09:12] permanent, the illegality into permanent, the oppression into permanent, and
[00:09:16] there will be no consequences. this calculus, this message needs to be
[00:09:20] changed, that's why what the UK government did only few weeks ago is
[00:09:24] important, because we shifted from words to action, from
[00:09:28] statements and condemnation to consequences and that's
[00:09:31] why this is the way forward, the south africa moment is the way
[00:09:34] forward.
[00:09:39] the reconstruction of gaza could take up to de cade and is
[00:09:43] estimated to cost more than 70 billion dollars. nearly
[00:09:47] 75,00 people have been killed there in the three years since Israel
[00:09:51] began its war on Gaza, and despite a fragile cease fire, the EU has
[00:09:55] launched its team Gaza initiative with an initial one billion
[00:09:58] dollars for early reconstruction efforts, but when would this
[00:10:02] money reach Palestinians and what role can Europe play in the
[00:10:06] rebuilt? taught me through the sheer scale
[00:10:10] of reconstruction that would be needed. in Gaza: we're
[00:10:14] talking about 68 million ton
[00:10:18] of dreams, hope,
[00:10:20] memories, leftover of
[00:10:23] Palestinian who been kill. with their bones knock down until
[00:10:27] now, so we're talking about insane amount
[00:10:30] of uh work that has to be done in Gaza, we're
[00:10:34] talking about city that was ripped off the map,
[00:10:37] we saw the Google Map comparing because
[00:10:41] between the reality, how it was and how it is right now,
[00:10:45] you're talking about a whole city that was ripped off the map, so it's
[00:10:49] a huge amount of work that is needed in Gazer
[00:10:52] right now, thank you. Jane, is there an
[00:10:56] appetite in Europe to get involved here and play its part and help in the
[00:11:00] reconstruction? What are you picking up from Europe? European
[00:11:04] countries have been so divided over this that it's often seemed easier to
[00:11:07] do very little or nothing uh, but we have seen big
[00:11:11] differences among European countries, we have seen the the UK
[00:11:15] working particularly with Jordan on humanitarian and
[00:11:18] reconstruction issues, we've seen France working on Palestinian governance and
[00:11:22] political reform, we're not seeing the... large skill collective
[00:11:26] effort that's really needed to move the needle. are you disappointed that
[00:11:30] we see Europe moving at lightning pace to help Ukraine when when
[00:11:34] military support and humanitarian aid is needed in Ukraine?
[00:11:38] they can all coordinate a matter of hours. and yet when it comes to
[00:11:42] Gaza, there seems to be this hesitation. look,
[00:11:45] globally, Europe has lost a great deal of
[00:11:48] credibility as part the world that tries to speak with
[00:11:51] normative voice and to speak about morality. in foreign
[00:11:55] policy about multilateralism, international law, human rights,
[00:11:59] the glaring differences between the treatment of Palestine and the
[00:12:03] treatment of Ukraine have really undermined that credibility, of course they are two
[00:12:07] different conflicts, but it does appear to many around the world as though the lives of
[00:12:11] Palestinians are being valued less than the lives of Europeans. Thank
[00:12:14] you. Hue, of course, nothing can happen until the conflict ends
[00:12:18] a proper seizfire is implemented, just give us your
[00:12:22] thoughts on how important that is. Yeah, certainly.
[00:12:25] so this is not just humanitarian crisis, this is also a political
[00:12:28] crisis and it's the political issue that has caused the humanitarian
[00:12:32] crisis, and so president Trump announced
[00:12:35] his so-called 20-point plan to end the war in Gaza almost
[00:12:39] a year ago to the day, um, year on, it's a cease
[00:12:43] fire in name only and it's a ceasfire for one side only.
[00:12:47] Palestinian armed groups have largely if not entirely respected that cease
[00:12:51] fire, but over the last year Israel has not and has continued.
[00:12:55] 'It's not just targeted killing of Hamas militants,
[00:12:59] but also continued strikes that have killed Palestinian civilians, has
[00:13:02] continued to systematically destroy large parts of
[00:13:06] Gaza and to deny the entry of humanitarian aid and reconstruction, so
[00:13:10] without
[00:13:11] Israel fulfilling
[00:13:12] its obligations under the first phase the ceasefire deal, there can't
[00:13:16] be any progress on the political issue nor any progress towards
[00:13:19] reconstruction. Thanks you, faten, talk to me
[00:13:23] about what has been lost forever'. in Gaza, the
[00:13:26] culture, the history, the the
[00:13:28] landmarks, everything that has been flattened by
[00:13:32] Israel, just talk
[00:13:33] to me about how that has left Palestinian people feeling these past three
[00:13:37] years, helpless, hopeless, and no dream of
[00:13:40] tomorrow, though the magic thing about the power in people in
[00:13:44] Gaza, that now the recreating and new ways
[00:13:48] of surviving, they're not waiting for the cement uh to come
[00:13:51] from out of side the country, they're rediscovering ways of building
[00:13:55] blocks out of nothing of the sand, the going back to ancient
[00:13:59] history style of b building by
[00:14:02] mixing the sand that ghaz is very famous off
[00:14:06] with the leftover rubble that they have. gaz is
[00:14:10] creative, the people in there, they manage to learn new terms
[00:14:14] and new ways of survival, but at the same time
[00:14:18] those are very slow process way to
[00:14:22] do it, and in between we're talking about three
[00:14:25] years generation kids that
[00:14:29] were born in the war and now they are three years old
[00:14:33] with zero education, we're talking about three
[00:14:36] generation that lost the hope of
[00:14:39] tomorrow, how they're going to finish their high school, how they're gonna even
[00:14:43] go through the simple right of studying in the first
[00:14:47] place, those people are growing up with the minimum, and the
[00:14:51] minimum is always what scared the people, now more and more people,
[00:14:55] 'especially if I'm a mother and have kids, I would
[00:14:59] hold to the dream of I'm not gna get out of, but then I will be
[00:15:03] unjustice to my kids if I decide to stay there
[00:15:07] and drip away the their dream of having a
[00:15:11] better future, so it's not only about the
[00:15:14] rubble and it's not only about those stones and houses and dreams
[00:15:18] and hope, it's about tomorrow, they stole tomorrow from
[00:15:22] them, and that's the scariest part'. for every single human
[00:15:26] being in. Thank you. Jane, to get towards
[00:15:29] reconstruction, just going back to the cease fire and what needs to happen
[00:15:33] next. Hamas says they won't disarm until such
[00:15:37] point as the Israeli military pull out of Gaza and Israel
[00:15:40] says that won't happen until Hamas disarms, so we're in
[00:15:44] this very strange situation with nobody prepared to give
[00:15:47] inch, absolutely, and it is partly because the
[00:15:51] so-called cease fire was pushed on the parties
[00:15:55] by the US, and of course the Israeli government doesn't
[00:15:59] can't say an outright no to the US, but there hasn't really
[00:16:02] been that political will to to find a way to make
[00:16:06] that progress. and of course we've
[00:16:08] got is really elections coming up uh and so that is making everything like
[00:16:12] even more uncompromising, the elections won't be a complete game changer,
[00:16:15] but
[00:16:16] it is possible if there's a different government that doesn't include
[00:16:19] Netanyahu, ben Gavier and Smotrich, you might see a
[00:16:23] little bit more wiggle room, you might see some that would like to go back to
[00:16:27] the idea of not having the IDF inside Gaza, but you still likely
[00:16:31] to have problems with Israel wanting to have full control of Gaza's borders
[00:16:34] and that makes it really difficult to... rebuild, but also to get
[00:16:38] economy going without being able to come and go, without being able to import
[00:16:42] and export freely and all the things that we know makes economy
[00:16:45] successful.
[00:16:50] EU states are split over the blocks made in Europe initiative
[00:16:54] aimed at boosting manufacturing and countering competition from
[00:16:58] China. Members are unable to agree on what counts is
[00:17:01] European and which countries should be allowed in. Germany is
[00:17:04] pushing for trusted partners like the UK and Canada to be
[00:17:08] included, but France wants only countries in the block, while
[00:17:12] Spain is proposing a compromise, so can EU
[00:17:15] member states unify and find a way forward before it's
[00:17:19] too late. There doesn't seem to be very much agreement in Europe
[00:17:23] on how to go forward with this, is there? nope, and if you
[00:17:27] look at when this act was even announced, it was based on Mario
[00:17:31] Drag's competitiveness report, and even he said you've got to focus
[00:17:35] on future forward investment. like semiconductors, like
[00:17:39] AI, um, clean tech. this act pretty much leaves out two the major
[00:17:43] events that we need to focus on and places that we should be investing in, and then
[00:17:47] you start looking at what's happening between France and Germany and how that plays out in
[00:17:50] parliament, this has gone very far away from where even the commission started
[00:17:54] out from, so I'm thinking AFD, national
[00:17:57] Front, everyone's having a bit of influence and how governments are thinking
[00:18:01] about where they need to put tax payer money. thanks,
[00:18:04] my three, Peter, to you, would you agree that they all want? to do something,
[00:18:08] they all agree that something is needed, but they're not exactly singing off
[00:18:12] the same song sheet in Europe on this. I
[00:18:16] think that's more or less inevitable.
[00:18:19] Brugel did a very good paper on this
[00:18:22] program in May and they made the
[00:18:26] point that the objectives are a bit confused, is
[00:18:30] it trying to bring industrialization back to Europe,
[00:18:34] or is it trying to...
[00:18:37] resilience, which are really rather different things and different
[00:18:41] countries have genuinely different interests,
[00:18:45] the the Germans have different industrial
[00:18:48] structure, France probably doesn't have quite as much of different
[00:18:52] interest as the Germans do, but they think they do,
[00:18:55] meanwhile countries of central and eastern Europe have much
[00:18:59] more interest in attracting Chinese
[00:19:03] investment that they do in hoping that
[00:19:06] they themselve. will be the producers
[00:19:10] of ultra advanced high-tech, the users a big trade
[00:19:14] off users of advanced technology and would be
[00:19:18] producers of it, and this argument still needs to
[00:19:22] be resolved, it's not just pure politics. but
[00:19:26] philip, is it just pure politics or is this simply about bringing
[00:19:29] industrialization back to Europe and fending off
[00:19:32] china? well, it's both of
[00:19:35] course, and I would say it's... not only that, it's also about helping
[00:19:39] Europe's industry that's been struggling lately, it's about
[00:19:43] getting the the energy transition of
[00:19:47] ground, it's about you, catching up on
[00:19:51] EVs and battery industry in China, and it's very much about
[00:19:54] you, adjusting the EU to new
[00:19:58] model of global geoeconomics, so it's about
[00:20:02] you know cutting dependencies, it's about
[00:20:06] you know being able to compete as well with the US
[00:20:10] and China and in some ways also adjusting to new
[00:20:14] normal, because if you look at other countries like
[00:20:17] China,
[00:20:18] like India, also Turkey, Brazil and so on, they've been
[00:20:22] used in local content requirements, so made in their
[00:20:25] country type of rules for a long time already,
[00:20:29] and in some ways this is also about leveling the playing field in
[00:20:33] that sense, and I think what's very important, I think was mentioned before,
[00:20:37] also the rise the far right, it's very hard to sell
[00:20:41] voters nowadays to say, we are paying tax
[00:20:45] payer money, investing that a fleet of Chinese
[00:20:49] PID while our car industry is
[00:20:53] going bust right now, so I think there
[00:20:55] are there's a whole lot of factors that play a role here, and and they
[00:20:59] all have their justification and at least to to some
[00:21:03] extent, thank you Philip, my three, it's all about China ultimately, isn't
[00:21:07] it, kind of fending them off, keeping them out of Europe and boosting
[00:21:10] European companies, well that that's the narrow-minded approach that, like
[00:21:14] I go keep going back to Druggy for reason because Brussels has been
[00:21:18] talking about that report that the... they've based lot of things on on
[00:21:22] competitiveness and resilience, when I hear that people are still focused so
[00:21:26] much on China, I think people are also forgetting what's happened with Europe and the
[00:21:29] United States for the last two years almost,
[00:21:33] what makes a trusted partner at this point, we haven't addressed
[00:21:37] semiconductors, if we look at semiconductors where do we get them from,
[00:21:41] South Korea for example has huge operation when it
[00:21:45] comes to operating batteries in three quarters of it in the Europe, that that is
[00:21:49] going to get potentially affected, that could be an alternative to China, but
[00:21:53] what are we doing about the United States at this point? are we, why are we not
[00:21:57] investing in future technologies which would cater to our
[00:22:01] defense, which would have growth, which would give returns to the tax
[00:22:04] payer, unlike this particular act where they
[00:22:08] have a cost cap, and and it's there's a cost cap of up to
[00:22:12] 25 to 30% more that they're willing to pay for anything
[00:22:16] that's made in Europe, how are you going to justify that to the tax? here
[00:22:20] just wants to know that their money is being used sensibly for their own
[00:22:24] good, is it creating more jobs? how if you have
[00:22:27] solar panels that are coming in from China um
[00:22:31] and the ones made in Europe are about almost 14% more and you've
[00:22:35] made little caviets in there saying okay we'll have the converter be
[00:22:39] cheaper or make make the converters in Europe is that going to slow down
[00:22:43] the transition because the cost has gone up because it is in
[00:22:46] Europe
[00:22:47] what exactly
[00:22:48] are we gaining that's the bit i Brugel was quite unclear on, and
[00:22:52] I agree with them, we don't know what they're trying to do
[00:22:54] here.
[00:22:59] Record global hate from this year's Elnio has been described as
[00:23:02] Godzilla level and mindblowing by scientists. It's been
[00:23:06] projected to cause nearly half million deaths by February. Climate
[00:23:10] researchers are also warning it could push 50 million people
[00:23:14] into extreme hunger around the world. Is
[00:23:17] naturally occurring weather event that has happens every two to seven
[00:23:21] years, so why are scientists so worried about this
[00:23:24] one? people are calling it mind-blowing, godzilla
[00:23:28] level, how worried are you? always to be safe rather
[00:23:32] than sorry, um, yeah, i'm i'm worried,
[00:23:36] um, most of what's going to happen is going to happen, it hasn't happened
[00:23:40] yet, there are some instances around the world that we're now looking
[00:23:44] at to say yes, that's attributable to uh, the el
[00:23:48] ninho, um, particularly the pacific, the the
[00:23:51] hurricanes, sorry, yeah, the hurricanes that are occurring, um, so
[00:23:55] I think it's right to be worried, because if you're worried then you you may act, and if you're going
[00:23:59] to act then at least
[00:24:00] you you got some chance of of being safe when the worst does
[00:24:04] arrive, so that's the right direction of travel. Olivia, to you,
[00:24:08] how concerned are you about the data and the predicted levels of
[00:24:12] heat we're seeing with this so-called super
[00:24:14] elninho? I'm concerned
[00:24:18] because the super elninho... and is essentially happening against
[00:24:22] the background of very severe and acute sort of
[00:24:25] acceleration of climate change on the one hand
[00:24:29] and at the same time geopolitically fragmented world, and we know
[00:24:33] that essentially a moment when the world is
[00:24:36] brital in terms of resilience level,
[00:24:39] the food scarcity or food disruption,
[00:24:43] energy disruption, disaster effects that will essentially
[00:24:47] enter the international security system. then the next
[00:24:50] year are going to bring additional stress that we're not
[00:24:54] currently geared or prepared to deal
[00:24:57] with without having competitive effect or protectionist
[00:25:01] effects. thank you. Samantha, to you, just talk me
[00:25:05] through these record breaking sea temperatures, why should we
[00:25:09] be concerned and why are they so bad with this particular elninio
[00:25:12] event? yeah, great question.
[00:25:16] so the ocean is really the driver of our... climate
[00:25:20] system, so it has absorbed 90% the excess
[00:25:24] heat from climate change, and it it drives our weather and
[00:25:27] climate, so a warmer world we get
[00:25:31] more evapo transpiration, which means we have more energy available
[00:25:35] for storms, it makes heat waves worse,
[00:25:38] and you has major implications for marine ecosystems
[00:25:42] as well, and so this particular elnino
[00:25:46] event, which is naturally occurring event is a...
[00:25:50] an ocean
[00:25:52] that is warmer than it has ever been
[00:25:54] before, and the impacts that come
[00:25:58] from events are very much
[00:26:01] associated with the lack of rainfall, so
[00:26:04] drying or flooding, and the wildfire
[00:26:08] risk that comes from very dry areas and we've seen that already
[00:26:12] in Indonesia, there's record levels of wildfires in
[00:26:16] Indonesia as part of this only new event,
[00:26:19] so there there is huge concern of how this
[00:26:23] event will continue to develop and what the implications
[00:26:27] these um record ocean temperatures will have on
[00:26:31] driving weather. patterns around our world and the
[00:26:34] implications for global mean temperature both for the rest of
[00:26:37] 2026 and also for next
[00:26:40] year as well, which is already forecast to be the warmest year that
[00:26:43] human humanity has ever experienced. thank you.
[00:26:47] jonathan, predicted 450,000
[00:26:51] deaths in the next six months because of elnio. predominantly these
[00:26:55] countries they are in the global south and and they really don't have the
[00:26:59] infrastructure to deal with this, prepare for it
[00:27:02] or or... anyway contend with
[00:27:03] this? yes, so I
[00:27:07] think um, we've known for a long time that factors such as
[00:27:10] inequality or poverty um can dramatically
[00:27:14] affect people's risk, and as Olivia was saying before, these
[00:27:18] compound factors of geopolitical events or just simply you
[00:27:22] know prices
[00:27:23] of grain can really impact people if they're on the edge, and there are hundreds of millions of
[00:27:27] people on the edge of food security across the world. now
[00:27:30] withou, however, will affect um global you
[00:27:34] know globally basically lots of different countries, but the ones that we as
[00:27:38] the uh the red cross recresment network focused on are those where we
[00:27:41] expect the impacts to be most acute, and um I
[00:27:45] think
[00:27:45] you know one the very difficult things about this is that
[00:27:49] communities and people who are on the edge really have a,
[00:27:53] the added uncertainty of climate change, so are the hazards getting more
[00:27:57] intense and more extreme, which often they are, are they coming more
[00:28:01] frequently, which often they... are um and are they more
[00:28:04] uncertain? yes often they are, and and matched to that are
[00:28:08] people's vulnerabilities, which are often much worse or
[00:28:12] much different to people who live near them, and then you have elninu top of that
[00:28:16] where things just happen at different times to what you would
[00:28:19] expect, the rains come late, the rains come
[00:28:22] early, you might be a drought one minute, and as we know
[00:28:26] antecedent or so before conditions, if there's dry ground, then when it
[00:28:30] rains you often get lots of flash floods. you get worse flooding, so it's
[00:28:33] very, very challenging uh for
[00:28:35] people,
