We have xi jinping speaking, talking about meeting challenges through cooperation as the only way forward, and a need to step up policy coordination. He is addressing that apec summit by video. China will expand domestic demand as a strategic priority.

Jules . Juliette lets get the first word news. We are seeing coronavirus deaths in the u. S. Topping a quarter of a million.

Talktte lets switch and to the unilever Ceo Alan Jope saying, Interest Rates to create new jobs means it is a good time to invest in sustainable green technologies. He spoke to bloombergs Francine Lacqua about breaking the mindset that there is a division between Green Technology and prosperity. Francine purpose and prosperity, there is no tradeoff. We are already seeing that money that gets invested in green stimulus seems to generate better roi than the more broad stimulus packages. It is the most important mindset to break, that there is a tradeoff between a Green Recovery and economic prosperity. Francine a lot of companies have already put out targets. How much will that trend be easier under a new president , joe biden . Change, like this all system changes, will require collaboration between governments, companies and investors. Policies,ents set the the frameworks in which we operate, i would like to congratulate the british chancellor who recently set out the requirement for carbon disclosure and reporting. Companies have to drive the innovation that will be needed for a Green Recovery. Of course markets and investors need to invest in properly run, sustainable and green businesses. , anhat regard administration that reenters the Climate Change debate and Green Recovery, of course it will be good for the system. Of these unless some disclosures, carbon emissions, things like that, are disclosed and mandatory across the world, would it make enough difference to make a meaningful impact against Climate Change . I think the things government has to do are important. Disclosure is an important part of it, but can have unintended consequences. The most important thing the government needs to do is get a price on carbon. On carbon or a cap a tax, there is a role for disclosure and labeling. The most important step the government can take is to get a trace on carbon. Francine how much work do you do at you know lover for technologies to make products for packaging or containers that are recyclable . Technologies the for a Green Recovery have already been invented. Low carbon energy, i am hearing from scotland where 90 of scotlands energy comes from renewable technologies, wind. They have low carbon transport. All of that exists. Now is a good time to invest with low Interest Rates and a desperate need for more jobs.

He is talking about china deepening cooperation on Green Development and repeating the out theret putting multilateral credentials on the table, to continue supporting multilateral trade mechanisms and negotiating and free trade.

Setette the boeing 737 max to fly again after being cleared for safety by u. S. Regulators. It will end a 20 month grounding following crashes. It is welcome news for boeing and carriers, but regulators in europe and china have not yet lifted their band.

It will depend on what you said earlier, regulators in Different Countries. Now with the faa approving the u. S. We could see december, with American Airlines being the first to operate the plane. For the rest of the world, we have to see what regulators say in those countries. Rishaad will boeing be able to get back on its feet again following this decision by the faa . Khunghee it will be a long road ahead for boeing, given they are still involved in investigations by the justice department. To finehas threatened boeing. In the u. S. Has opened investigations. At the same time, we are going through a tough period, due to the pandemic. It is one step forward, but does not mean things will clear up for boeing anytime soon. Other challenges does boeing face . Khunghee i think the Biggest Challenges what other regulators in other countries decide and when they decide to allow the 737 to fly again.
