Good morning on Am and f.m. Around the u.k. On digital I'm on why I'm Raj Shah We're up all night North Korea's leader Kim Jong un had a band set to welcome a shy sister cameo Jong when she got back home from a Winter Olympics and other. Into showing us pleasure with a sister no bad thing when one recalls that he had his half brother martyred chemist should a statement calling the South's reception of his delegation very impressive contrast this with the criticism of Vice President Mike Pence in the us media and social media for the time and place staying seated as the united Korean women saw Katie March through the opening ceremony Conversely the New York Daily News criticized what it called the disgusting media fawning over North Korea be a little less. Well a high drama in South Africa today South African media now reporting that the governing in c. Has formally demanded that President Jacob Zuma step in a meeting of senior party officials in Pretoria ended after 13 hours without any official announcement they've been discussing the future of Mr Zuma who faces corruption allegations c.n.c. Leader Cyril Ramaphosa left the conference at one point to meet the president and the said to have asked him to resign Ashlyn lying is Africa correspondent for The Times and joins us from John a spark Hello Assem Hello there hello how. Strong know are these these reports that he has actually been asked to step. Yeah it seems it seems to be set in multiple sourcing across media platforms now so I think we can safely assume that that's what's happened and also unfortunately knowing Jacob Zuma as I've come to you over my years if this is entirely in keeping with his behavior he favors the Stalin grad defense of fighting and fighting and fighting at every turn until he has absolutely no option but to give in and say that even though he hasn't people hoped he would heed the call of the a.n.c. Because he's always painted himself as a loyal servant of the party it appears that he's got to the point that he will cannot see the wood for the trees and just by way of a reminder I mean he's already been replaced as the as as leader of the party absolutely yes in December and he was due to you know to hand over leadership of the party there is a funny system here whereby the a.n.c. Holds its national active conference well before the national elections at which the country's president is replace so so. Since December is not the end seize president of the Constitution Jacob Zuma would to remain the president of the nation until until $21000.00 actions and less the party decides otherwise. And how much is known about what they discussed the party conference was all about. The status of President Zuma. Well sadly in the run up to the conference we saw indications that some of Jacob Zuma supporters would still be arguing his case I mean Cyril Ramaphosa has been criticized for taking a long time about removing him but the thinking is that he wanted to ensure that all dissenting voices fell behind him the people so that they actually as he was taking was now necessary we have a sound going into the meeting there were suggestions that Mr Mbeki could be given more Deb's it would remain as a figurehead We also understand that during the meeting it was discussed Jacob Zuma sort of requests for a deal to stand down those terms included that he would get to stay in office for another 3 months notice period and that during that time he would take his his success a serial on a tour to introduce him to global bodies like the African Union and well get is that he also requested that he would remain chairing cabinet and that happen it wouldn't be changed that is hugely contentious and I understand was rejected angrily because the accusation is that Jacob Zuma has installed to Fishel to will send deals in the way of his business friends the Gupta's and the feeling was that the a.n.c. Conference about it couldn't be allowed to happen. And the door here of the group does cross we get into this this phrase state capture where the group those are accused of hijacking literally the state of South Africa. Is that changing. Well I mean since ceramic Payson has taken over as president we've seen the incredibly lackadaisical up to this point police and prosecution will start is leap into action have been raids on various offices and indications of potential arrest including a very senior figures such as the a.n.c. Secretary general is not actually over a controversial dairy project in his own province so sadly we're beginning for the 1st time now to see a real movement on that and that also will be a cause for concern for Mr Zuma and a very good incentive to stay in office as long as he possibly can which he seems to be wanting to do you know. I was going to ask about his cards as you say you've been watching him for 8 years he's going to continue fighting like a lot of those are your at least like a quarter of a dog. I think so absolutely I mean I was instant in November. 'd for the removal river as a nation and as President Mugabe and we are seeing real similarities here I think as these kind of leaders become increasingly in battles they surround themselves by people who will 'd tell them what they need to hear that will be you know as he told the a.n.c. When they asked him initially to resign that people love me and I am needed. So I mean I think that even though Jacob Zuma is a very clever man and has an incredible sense for reading you know he has also lost sight of. How how the rest of the nation feels he's turned a blind eye to the massive protests calling for him to go and dismissed those kind of behind him as foreign Stooges So I think. A little bit of reality has been has been lost and he aren't even really except the calls of his own party his own people he must now go. And is there any feeling of anxiety there at the moment among people or is it more about excitement. I think there is a tinge of excitement but I think the people who come to Niger can see maybe isn't our 5th of what might happen you know we saw on Friday. Instagram posts from one of his wives but the fact is that things are about to get real. And indicating that that might still be a fight ahead people are pretty nervous about what Jacob Zuma is capable of that have been talk of the. Sort of militia from his home province of causing a tell that he could be sort of invoking them to come and defend him he really is prepared to pull the temple down he's made that very clear and so I think while there is excitement people are still incredibly anxious and absolutely to rolling news and Twitter just waiting to see what happens next as I'm lying in Johannesburg thank you very much Ashton thank you well i'm people have very strong views about far these days and the fashion industry is answer has been to buy fake for which obviously still serves a purpose without causing any discomfort to animals at all but it turns out some of the supposedly fake fur the people are being sold is actually from real animals being slaughtered and rather grim conditions in overseas fractures an undercover b.b.c. Inside Out a portrait from b.b.c. London went to 17 shops and market stalls across London where they were told that it was fake for when it wasn't there's this real sort of fight for a good fiction being because you know only the slightest effect is that you know if you're going to leave and I did part of it here it's just definitely fake So yeah I want to know that if I just have one of course if I don't have a life it's real so no deal is very expensive stuff really is a bit expensive 100 percent under most of the under 700 percent under one of the. 100 percent fake for well it wasn't of course Barclay is from the Humane Society International the animal protection organization a complaint against animal farm and she told me a little bit more about what investigators discovered they discovered from foxes wreckin dogs rabbit mink being sold as photo across the 3 markets and worse for pure reasons of economy is real far actually cheaper than for for so you sometimes rail fare can be cheaper than folk and that speaks to the conditions that the animals the cat in on the farms where the 1st imported from say lot of the fat comes into the u.k. Comes from farms in China where animals spend their entire lives in these tiny barren cages and no animal welfare laws to protect them in China and they just suffer these horrendous lives so that's often the reason why face real facts can be sold so cheaply and sometimes even cheaper than folks. And this is being made up mostly into clothes over there as well as it so it's important as a kind of whole cloth yeah a bit of both really but we find we mainly find real animal fur being sold as pompoms on key chains decorations on she's And the trims on hoods and most people think of when they think of fair they think of you know thousands of pounds. Mink coats bat these key chains and she's being sold for less than 10 pounds sometimes even less than 5 pounds so consumers need to be really careful even if items achieve it just doesn't mean a major favor. Can you tell the difference. Yes So the best ways tell the difference is to look at the has and if he has tapered to a point often means the 1st reopen if he has blunt so they look like they've been cut as they get indicates that they faced the 1st for. Another really good indicators if you park and if you see a pink leathery looking backing that often means the 1st real and that's actually the animal skin that you are saying that whereas if you park the fur and mash fabric a backing that's a good indication that what you're looking at is photo so it's a to really easy ways for consumers to tell the difference between real and fake. And our other British or e.u. Laws that should stop the import of stuff like this So currently you and u.k. Law stops the import of dog cat and seal for However as Bretton leaves the e.u. We've got a chance to strengthen our import regulations and actually extend that legislation to cover all the other animals so wrecking dogs may rabbit it just as intelligent as cats dogs and seals and just as able to feel pain so that's what we're campaigning for we're campaigning for the u.k. Government to ban the import of which would solve this problem and it was say stop animal suffering terrible lives on farms. I thought the real far as actually cheaper than for farmers into the doesn't on the surface doesn't make any sense no absolutely doesn't and that's why people get so easily confused into buying real as well as obviously the mislabeling and a lot of that speaks to the conditions that the animals a captain in bearing cages. For their entire lives in countries with no animal read welfare regulations and that's the reason why it can be bought and sold so cheaply . How did Barclay from the Humane Society International Well Iceland is forefront of all sorts of things that it's particularly at the forefront of. Sustainable Energy nearly all of the electricity in Iceland is produced by hydro or by geothermal but that makes it a real magnet for people at the forefront of a financial experiment the bit coy miners are. Are concentrating their efforts on Iceland there's been an exponential rise in bitcoin mining and a warning as a result that Iceland could see a huge increase in its power consumption in your hands. And Sun has from the Icelandic energy firm h s Orca it's not a problem. But it's high demand that the man it's than the supply that you have a nice at least at the moment so it's not a problem the problem will be if we start selling it through the services that are home that's what happened so it's not a problem of sorts but it's high demand I think all of for our power companies and I stand with like to be able to meet the demand which you cannot at the moment so neither if you want to call it the problem that's that's that's. Part of the problem as it's I'm sure well because you've got lots of demand for your product but how big is the sort of bit kind mining industry and Iceland at the moment and how do you expect it to grow during the course of this year we will see that. Bitcoin miners are Cliff to couldn't see data centers will surpass the usage of all homes in Iceland so that's a lot of lot of electricity that they're going to be using. What we've been seeing saying over the last 2 years is basically exponential corals from a few 100 kilowatts only a few years ago the novel until this year is going to be or would $100.00 megawatts . The demand in Iceland it's a must I talk to people every day foreign investors local investors people that want to build cryptocurrency it isn't this so everybody's is looking for Iceland looking towards Iceland in building that they this and this because of the great resources that he has so if we would have enough power I think we could could all basically toast as big as we want but as we do not at the moment have enough reak have the privilege of being able to select a little bit out of our business partners I say why are people so interested in building cryptocurrency mining operations in Iceland. Probably for a few reasons the 1st reason that I would like to mention is that we have green you know calamity which is very predictable we can offer predictable prices into the future because we are not our energy sources are not coming from a 3rd party like if you have coal or something else it's geothermal heat and it's hydro power but also because of the temperate climates in Iceland and rather cold weather too without being it's never too cold it's never too hot the data centers are basically building. With natural cooling saw all of the it's what that the power usage efficiency of data centers innocence is actually a lot better than in most all the areas of the world and this saves a lot of electricity for these companies therefore saving cost and hopefully giving them but better return on that investment. And what does Iceland get out of hosting all of these mining operations I mean what we're seeing now as free as the data centers I've started to build. On to this gate that that we're going to see for 2018 and on what is that actually they offer more jobs than you would think so all this small town of Ray can aspire or Kepler leak which has most of the data centers located in it is actually getting quite a few. Good jobs for the community so that's one part all that part of course is that almost all of the power companies in Iceland own either by the state or the government or like my company it's all of it is owned almost half of it by Icelandic pension funds we are actually getting selling electricity for higher prices with better prices than you had before so data centers
