Be fossil—free in transport and electricity by 2030. so, what is your response to roland? yeah, you know, some persons would say that it is a very ambitious move, but i honestly believe that ambition in this sense is a good thing, because as a small island developing state, we need to set that precedent on the international stage. to see that transformation from larger developing nations, to actually take the step in that right direction because we are so prone to these natural disasters and t...

That is why i think we need to speak truth to power. youve done today. thank you very much. lets go to our final question. tristan downs, what do you want to ask, please? my question is what advice - would you give to young people to lead future research and development - on climate change? ashley? well, thank you for that question, tristan. i think when it comes to climate change and climate negotiations, more capacity—building needs to be place on that, as young persons. and i would really l...

I think we got all wrapped in part with our own processes, you know, the complex visa and everything else. again, i think that nobody realized that the taliban were going to -- that entire units would collapse, melt away. so, yes, it came fast. we werent ready. we didnt dispose of equipment. i was kind of surprised that our pullback was more along the line of an evacuation than a withdrawal. the idea and concept was okay, but the execution, in my mind, sadly failed and were living the repercussi...

Aspersions on their political affiliations, implying that theyre not independent. and this tit for tat scenario is very, very dangerous because it enables and emboldens leaders around the world, i think, to use visas and work permits as weapons when theyre exactly meant to be neutral, impartial, bureaucratic processes that protectjournalism and protect press freedom. its really very concerning. because back in march, just looking at what the us did, there were 60 chinese journalists ordered to l...

In the capital city. this is the centre of kabul and this is returning to some kind of normality even though the processes of the past few weeks, there are more restaurants and shops that are open today than there have been in the previous days and more people in the streets and not quite as many in particular, there are fewer women though i have seen some and not necessarily wearing the all—encompassing burqa but the fear is that in the coming days, the coming months, the taliban will and put...

Tempstakes and leave and that there will be additional blood on our hands because this administration did not move with urgency when bipartisan members of congress approached it in the spring and said if were withdrawing, i agreed with that decision and others did not. if were withdrawing we need to look at these people. we need to get these processes going and clear the bureaucratic heardals and the administrative backlogs that led us to this position. they stonewalled every step of the way. th...

His staff. were waiting for an update on kabul airport with the evacuations. hundreds have gotten out in the last 12 hours getting military flights in and evacuees out on the same military planes, and we now know there are hundreds, thousands of actually afghans been able to get out as well. but as you mentioned in the lead-in, an estimate of 15,000 americans who may be in afghanistan trying to get out. the situation is desperate. the u.s. military has an agreement theyve been talking to the tal...
