Trump and Netanyahu meet at the White House
My name is Julia and I'm a trainee for a company that works for the German pensions. I think I needed two weeks sick last year, but it was no big deal. Where I worked before, I think it was an issue, but at this kind of company, no. We have so many employees.

Sudanese military accused of carrying out massacre in Darfur
But in terms of those future trials, I mean, there's still a lot to examine, more people to involve before you can arrive at any conclusions, presumably.

How did we get to the point where taking this approach was considered a viable option that led you scientifically into this particular area of treatment?

And does it have potential wider implications for other conditions, other arthritic conditions, but beyond those?

The Global Story: The fight for the Arctic
Yeah, China obviously is not in the Arctic, but China obviously is interested in the Arctic because it's seen this northern sea route. It's seen that its temporary friend, a marriage of convenience with Russia, gives it opportunities and Russia might need some assistance. And so, lo, it has observer status at the Arctic Council, but also is up there on an island called Svalbard.
Global News Podcast
The Global Story: The fight for the Arctic
Svalbard is a Norwegian island high up in the Arctic Ocean above Norway, but it's very complicated. But there's a treaty in the 1920s in which Russia got mineral rights there as well. And so Russia has mines there. And China decided it'd be really interesting if they had a scientific base there, which they do.
Global News Podcast
The Global Story: The fight for the Arctic
And tourists with very long telephoto lenses who appear to be interested in all sorts of things that are going on up there. And you can see what I'm alluded to here. Every great power does this. There is espionage going on up there. Are they about to build a massive port and see the Chinese fleet there? No. Are they taking a keen interest and leveraging their interests with Russia? Yes.
Global News Podcast
The Global Story: The fight for the Arctic
Yeah, it's the interrelated things. So often there are what sometimes seem like minor incidents, but they're not minor incidents in the bigger picture of things. If you look at the South China Sea, what looks sometimes like minor incidents regarding Taiwan are not minor incidents because if one side or the other does not stand on that, what looks like a minor point, the bigger point then arises.
Global News Podcast
The Global Story: The fight for the Arctic
So, you know, if the Americans don't stand by Taiwan, what is the point of being an ally of the United States in that part of the world? There isn't any. And so when we come to the Arctic, what we will see over the next few years, sometimes when people do bump up against each other, is what looks like a minor incident is about something much bigger.
Global News Podcast
The Global Story: The fight for the Arctic
And I think the best example is probably what Jonathan talked about earlier, freedom of navigation operations, FONOPS. where if you are sailing through a strait through the northern passage now that goes along the top of Russia in order to get you through the Arctic Circle and down towards Europe, if the Russians say one day... Well, actually, no, you need our permission to do it.
Global News Podcast
The Global Story: The fight for the Arctic
And if the Americans or somebody else says, actually, no, we don't, then you start getting these rows. And it's not just about that one ship going through that one passage. It's about a bigger picture. So I return to what I said earlier. We need the forums and we need to keep the lines of communication open in order to navigate both that straight and the future.
Global News Podcast
The Global Story: The fight for the Arctic
It's certainly one where they need to, but I just think that the relationship between Russia and many countries in the world, mostly to their west, is broken possibly for a generation. Now, in the event that Mr Putin falls under a bus, it's not exactly that liberal democracy will break out across Russia's 11 time zones. So, you know, you're not going to see an immediate rapprochement.
Global News Podcast
The Global Story: The fight for the Arctic
But if there is a more pragmatic person that eventually emerges, one, as Mrs. Thatcher famously said about Mr. Gorbachev, someone we can do business with, well, yes, you can then begin to build those bridges, which is why I hope the Arctic Council does continue to
Global News Podcast
The Global Story: The fight for the Arctic
Because it is a very useful forum that once we enter the next phase of the relationship, which looks to me years away, but when you do, you need those structures in place allowing you to reach across the divide. At which point, yes, you can start cooperating on climate change. You know, we do need the scientists involved. various parts of the Arctic.

We do need exchanges of information, including satellite information about what is going on on the climate issue. There are already villages being impacted along the Bering Sea coast, other areas having to relocate because coastlines are eroded because of

warming we're seeing animals moving polar bears are having to move further north and the last thing i'd say is that what happens in the arctic is actually a global concern because if the waters rise in the arctic they don't just stay there it will contribute to rising waters in places such as bangladesh so the arctic is a global issue tim and jonathan thank you so much thank you very much thank you

The Global Story: The fight for the Arctic
We tend to look at a map and there it is up at the top of the map. A much better map to understand the geography of it is looking top down onto it as that circle. And then you see those countries coastlines on the rim of the ocean itself. So more than half of the coastline is Russian. And then there's land in parts of Canada, Finland, Greenland, Iceland, Norway.
Global News Podcast
The Global Story: The fight for the Arctic
Even the circle comes down into parts of Sweden. And of course, America with the Alaska part of it.
Global News Podcast
The Global Story: The fight for the Arctic
Yes, because some of that stuff is the stuff you need for renewable energy, and that's part of the new gold rush. There's definitely gold itself up there. There's zinc and there's nickel. The natural resources, I mean, these figures are so vast, I personally don't understand them, but it's more than 1,000 trillion cubic feet of natural gas, proven natural. to be there.
Global News Podcast
The Global Story: The fight for the Arctic
44 billion barrels of natural gas liquids, 90 billion barrels of oil. And again, we come back, as I think we will continually, to global warming and climate change. It's hard to get that stuff out in that harsh environment, but the warmer it gets, the easier it is to get to that and to the gold and to the zinc and to the nickel and
Global News Podcast
The Global Story: The fight for the Arctic
So for all those reasons, and also I do think increasingly what Jonathan referred to, the Northern Sea Route, if that's taking more than a week off your passage time, then it becomes a much more important trade route. Now, the problem with that is the trade route along the Northern Sea Route hugs the Russian coastline.
Global News Podcast
The Global Story: The fight for the Arctic
I'll try not to go into too much detail, but you have 200 miles of your EEZ, your Exclusive Economic Zone, from your coastline. Some of the routes through the narrow straits near the Russian coastline are well within that. And the Russians are beginning to tell everybody, that's our seas, our areas, you need to ask us.
Global News Podcast
The Global Story: The fight for the Arctic
And the Americans and others are saying, international waters, international trade routes, we don't need to ask you. So if and when Russia decides to make a thing about that, they will fall back on those grounds. So you put the whole thing together, the trade, the minerals, the oil, the geostrategic advantages, and it's warming up.
Global News Podcast
The Global Story: The fight for the Arctic
When you mentioned about Sweden and Finland coming in, when you look at the map, there's Norway right to their left. And because those two have joined... Norway is now building supply lines out of Norway, across Sweden, into Finland. And what's next? Murmansk in Russia, the Kola Peninsula, where their key, key defence, including their nuclear defences.
Global News Podcast

And so not justifying anything, but I just really wanted to back up what Jonathan says. You have to understand why they suddenly feel very nervous about this.

And once it's making a difference, I mean, once somebody is significantly better as a result of having this fitted, as Kevin clearly is, I mean, is there any reason why that situation cannot continue?

What about education work? Because clearly it's so important for people living there or returning there to know what they're looking for.
