mariko oi is in tokyo for us. mari, the temperature is always an issue injapan — but this year it's been even worse, hasn't it, with reports that tennis players in early matches on saturday had to take medical time outs before they continued playing? indeed, i'm not sure if you can see the temperature board behind me — it's only seven a:m., but it is getting really hot. though i have to say it's been a lot of excitement in japan about the gold rush that we've seen on every front page of the newspapers just gold—medal. these 21 double gold medals... also the japanese competitor in skateboarding winning the first gold. so there's been a lot of excitement about that, but as you said, when it comes to the endurance outside, it has been brutally hot. we've heard from novak djokovic in tennis especially complaining about it. but this has been an issue every year ever since i was a kid if you are a playing a sport outside. it's been getting hotter and hotter every year because of climate change, meaning schools hav

so all of these objectives and uses that we are using to get to this carbon—neutral economy require tin to some degree, and to have that domestic supply on your doorstep, it makes sense to see this mine into production. above ground, too, new methods of mineral extraction are being trialled. lithium, vital for batteries, is abundant in the south—west. if you want to unearth a mineral that is essential for going green, you need to do it in a way that's as green as possible — and this is a test of new technology. the lithium—rich rocks lie about a kilometre underground and as the water there washes over them, the mineral seeps into the brine, which is then brought back up to the surface and the lithium is extracted. the water, though, is returned back underground so the whole process can be repeated. right now, lithium comes from australia and south america, but the company thinks it could eventually supply around a third of the uk's future lithium demand. if we can produce battery—grade lithium in the uk, but also produce that into batteries and then put it into electric cars, th
