for something altogether more invigorating, let me point you in the direction of greenland. no, not the country, but the apocalyptic disaster movie which pits gerard butler against an approaching comet that threatens to wipe out life on earth. on radio: this is | an emergency alert. small molten debris expected to fall in upstate new york... _ isn't that where we are? yeah. — seek shelter immediately. do not stand in the open. explosion. oh, my god! butler isjohn garrity, an atlanta—based structural engineer attempting to rebuild his broken marriage to estranged wife allison, played by deadpool�*s morena baccarin. the couple's young son nathan is thrilled by news stories of clark, a cluster comet due to make the closest flyby in history. but whenjohn receives a presidential alert on his phone announcing that his family have been chosen for shelter, it becomes clear that bits of clark are headed straight for earth. while fans of butler's action movies may be expecting him to just punch the comet out of existence, greenland instead casts him asjust another ordinaryjoe ca

in terms of greenland, what do you want? you want to become sustainable. you need help from this $100 billion, and it's not coming through at the moment. we need help, but we have started in our country from the 90s - to invest in hydropower- and in the next five—six years we will have a goal to be _ up to 90% of our energy will come from hydropower, so it isl possible to do something. so now our mission is- that we have a lot of water and a lot of green energy, - we can export out into the rest of the world. we have stopped all oil. exploration of oil and gas and we have one of the world's biggest deposits of oil- and gas but we have stopped this because we have a lot | of water that we can use to create | energy and i hope the big energies, who have a big responsibility- to take these steps, _ will be ready to invest like that. applause. actually, i should quickly ask you, what was your reaction when president trump wanted to buy you? it was absurd. you should have up offered to buy him! what do you need, diego, to become sustainable that you are not g

we will soon find out if greenland will become a major global source of rare earth metals. all eyes are on their snap election result. the autonomous territory, which is subsidised by denmark to the tune of 600 million dollars a year, was once on donald trump's wish list — to buy. here's mark lobel with more. who would take power over the largest island in the world? a decision is imminent that will cause ripples far wider than greenland's coastline, floating voters rule the waves and have clear choices to make. it is true, there are a blizzard of domestic issues on the minds of the inuit majority here, including fishing and housing and economic pressures and the demand for greater autonomy but one controversial topic stands out and affects global citizens as well, the kvanefjeld mining project, one of the worlds largest untapped deposits of rare earth elements, minerals the west currently relies on chinese or to manufacture electronics, but could that change? the ruling social democratic siumut (forward) party party there is the giant earth any remaining mining project w

we rarely talk about greenland on the programme — but a snap election there could have a significant impact on us. that's because greenland has the world's biggest natural deposits of rare earth metals, and a big mining project has triggered this election. mariko oi is following the story for us. remind us why rare earth minerals are so important? then, they are crucial because they are used in everything from our smartphones to military systems and medical equipment. and demand has been growing exponentially, especially those needed for electric cars, for example, and until now, china has been the leading producerfor until now, china has been the leading producer for decades accounting for 90% of global production, but they have been concerns about china's dominance because back in 2011, china temporarily stopped exports to japan because of a dispute so it can weaponised is a rare supply, if you the hope is that greenland could be assault alternative to china depending on the selection's outcome. —— a solid alternative. outcome. -- a solid alternative.- outcome. -- a solid alter

really interesting because the jet stream is going to split. 0ne branch going up over the north of greenland, which is pretty unusual and then coming back down towards scotland. another branch of the jet stream crosses the atlantic and what we end up with later in the week is enormous temperature contrasts straddling the uk. cold air to the north. milder conditions to the south. that will bring potentially interesting weather our way later in the wake. across the north, some snow flurries from time to time. cold, dry weather and sunshine and in the south, cloud, with some rain, so quite grey and mild. in between, a risk of something a bit more disruptive. that risk may well be there on thursday across the pennines. but the boundary between the cold and the mild is a little uncertain. it could move a bit over the next few days but it's worth staying in touch with the forecast. there may be some issues as far as christmas travel plans go.

it was greenland that really unnerved me. it may be remote, but there's enough ice here to raise the global sea level by 7 metres. i could see for myself a frightening pace of change. 0ur helicopter seemed tiny against the edge of the vast ice sheet. this massive wall of ice behind me... and since i first filmed there, temperatures have just kept rising. and ice that had seemed permanent has retreated. back in 2004, it would have been 100 metres thicker than it is now. that's like having a 30—storey building sitting on top. it's alljust going at an incredible speed. the ice was vanishing beneath my feet faster than anyone believed possible, and i immediately thought of bangladesh, and the fact that millions of people on coastlines around the world threatened by streams of meltwater heading for the oceans. gradually, the projections for the future climate were becoming more reliable. the models were more accurate. supercomputers were handling vast amounts of data, so the un's climate science panel has now overcome years of d

precious approaching. some big patterns here, big peaks and troughs, you can see a peak going over greenland there, trough in the north atlantic, then peaking again across western parts of europe. and when we see this sort of pattern, that gives us an indication there'll be a lot of mixing in the atmosphere between the northern and southern climes — so pulses of cooler air pushed up ahead, then back to cooler air again. lots of low pressures forming in the north atlantic as a result of these temperature contrasts as well, and towards the end of the week it looks like it will turn a little bit colder. so let's summarise what the next few days will look like — bouts of heavy rain particularly across western areas with low pressures approaching, that also means gale force winds, but we will also see a lot of mild air, very mild air, in fact, pressures approaching, that also means gale force winds, but we will also see a lot of mild air, very mild air, in fact, streaming in from the azores. now this is the weather map for monday — and a big low—pressure with winds blowing around it like

it's claimed this is contributing more to sea—level rises than either the greenland or antarctic ice sheets. the duke and duchess of cambridge are on the front page of the daily mail. the royal couple were married ten years ago at westminster abbey. let's deal with that later but let's begin. let's start with the metro. a neat headline. they managed to put borisjohnson looking down at keir starmer. i don't know if there is any political significance in the way they did that. what about this story do you make of it? yes. way they did that. what about this story do you make of it?— way they did that. what about this story do you make of it? yes, as you sa , a lot story do you make of it? yes, as you say. a lot of— story do you make of it? yes, as you say, a lot of interior _ story do you make of it? yes, as you say, a lot of interior design - story do you make of it? yes, as you say, a lot of interior design puns - say, a lot of interior design puns on the papers tonight, and it has been obviously a remarkable day of political news even by recent standards and this is the story tha
