:00:20. > :00:22.Europe and China are expected to re-affirm their commitments

:00:23. > :00:29.And what effect will Brexit have on countries like South Africa?

:00:30. > :00:45.Including some wine. It may be a little bit early for wine in the UK

:00:46. > :00:46.but not everywhere in the world. In a minute, we'll enter a parallel

:00:47. > :00:51.universe of augmented reality. President Trump has said

:00:52. > :00:57.he will pull the United States out of the Paris climate change accord,

:00:58. > :01:00.calling it an unfair agreement that would hamstring the American

:01:01. > :01:02.economy while empowering The announcement drew immediate

:01:03. > :01:05.criticism around the world. European leaders said the deal

:01:06. > :01:08.could not be renegotiated. But US coal producers

:01:09. > :01:09.welcomed the decision, while the move drew criticism

:01:10. > :01:12.from other business executives like Jeff Immelt, the chief

:01:13. > :01:15.executive of GE, who said it would hurt US companies'

:01:16. > :01:17.ability to work abroad Tesla CEO Elon Musk and Walt Disney

:01:18. > :01:22.boss Robert Iger said they would leave White House

:01:23. > :01:24.advisory councils after Meanwhile, in a few hours,

:01:25. > :01:29.Chinese and EU leaders will issue their joint statement

:01:30. > :01:32.on the Paris climate agreement. China has already said it

:01:33. > :01:34.will honour its commitments With me is James Thornton,

:01:35. > :01:51.CEO of ClientEarth. Thank you for coming in. Let's start

:01:52. > :01:56.with the point that Donald Trump made, he believes the agreement is

:01:57. > :02:00.unfair, he believes there are bigger request of America and they need to

:02:01. > :02:04.do more than other countries like China or India and he believes

:02:05. > :02:09.following through with that would cost America millions in jobs and in

:02:10. > :02:13.money. What is your reaction? As with so many things Mr Trump lives

:02:14. > :02:16.in an ultimate reality. What he has done his commit an act of vandalism

:02:17. > :02:21.against the greatest achievement of the 21st century, the Paris

:02:22. > :02:24.agreement. It requires only involuntary moves on the part of

:02:25. > :02:32.countries. At America's state at the table, it would voluntarily do what

:02:33. > :02:35.most of America wants, 69% of the voters in the United States wanted

:02:36. > :02:40.to stay part of the agreement, the majority of citizens in every one of

:02:41. > :02:44.the 50 states of the US wanted to stay in, and since Mr Trump

:02:45. > :02:52.announced his move, 30 states have said they will continue their own

:02:53. > :02:55.plans to rip -- reduce climate change summit means most American

:02:56. > :03:00.people and the economy is going to go ahead despite what Mr Trump is

:03:01. > :03:03.doing. He is going to find out that the American President isn't an

:03:04. > :03:09.emperor and the country will stay connected with the world and keep

:03:10. > :03:13.reducing emissions. So you say he could have stayed at the table and

:03:14. > :03:17.decided to reduce the requirements that America had signed up to but if

:03:18. > :03:21.he does decide to go ahead and pull out, what timetable are we

:03:22. > :03:26.discussing? It takes four years under the agreement to leave what

:03:27. > :03:31.will happen in his America, at the federal level, will stall during his

:03:32. > :03:34.presidency right we have to remember that President Trump is it temporary

:03:35. > :03:38.blip, he is an unfortunate but temporary phenomena in the United

:03:39. > :03:44.States and America will rejoin. There is no doubt. America doesn't

:03:45. > :03:49.like to be left out of the party, it likes to be a leader, not a pariah.

:03:50. > :03:54.Other countries staying in, China and the EU, we are expecting a joint

:03:55. > :04:01.announcement today. What do you think we will hear? China and the EU

:04:02. > :04:05.will lead the world on reducing emissions. I've met with the Chinese

:04:06. > :04:11.chief negotiator and he is clear that China is reducing emissions for

:04:12. > :04:14.its own benefit. That's true of every country. Reducing emissions is

:04:15. > :04:18.for the benefit of the economy and the people in every country and

:04:19. > :04:23.China knows that, the EU knows it. The sad thing is that the deal

:04:24. > :04:27.before the Paris agreement was, when Obama was president, the US and

:04:28. > :04:31.China led the world, the two biggest polluters joining to lead the world

:04:32. > :04:35.and he is leaving the party, the EU is stepping up and it is a good

:04:36. > :04:42.thing for Europe but a bad thing for the US. Jim, CEO of ClientEarth,

:04:43. > :04:43.thank you. That is a story we will follow for many weeks.

:04:44. > :04:46.In a week's time, the general election in the United Kingdom

:04:47. > :04:49.Some analysts say that the current Prime Minister, Theresa May,

:04:50. > :04:52.wants it to be largely about the country leaving

:04:53. > :04:56.It's almost a year since the British public voted in a referendum

:04:57. > :04:59.for Brexit, and there's still a good deal of uncertainty as the start

:05:00. > :05:04.But how will all the deal-making in Europe affect companies in Africa?

:05:05. > :05:06.The BBC's Karen Allen went to South Africa's Western Cape

:05:07. > :05:18.South Africa's Western Cape seems an ocean away from Britain's political

:05:19. > :05:24.woes. Tourism is big business here, but so too is trade. So when the

:05:25. > :05:28.Brexit negotiations began, -- begin, they will be pushing hard not to get

:05:29. > :05:34.cut adrift. Alan is back from a lobbying trip and is upbeat. It will

:05:35. > :05:38.be about people than product. It will be much more between the two

:05:39. > :05:44.regions than the rest of the world. So I think that the relevance is

:05:45. > :05:51.that we have to be seen as part of a team at the end of the day that is

:05:52. > :05:56.trying to find a deal. But it isn't just about Britain. 100,000 Germans

:05:57. > :06:01.live here. They are not only consuming the products that remind

:06:02. > :06:04.them of home but they also a running businesses, exporting goods back

:06:05. > :06:09.into Europe and they are preparing to count the cost of Brexit. This is

:06:10. > :06:17.the wine estate owned by third-generation Germans. 9.8

:06:18. > :06:22.billion US dollars worth of South African goods are destined for

:06:23. > :06:26.Germany. Fair chunk of that is wine. And though far fewer bottles of the

:06:27. > :06:30.good stuff from here find their way into Britain, those that do face the

:06:31. > :06:36.prospect of newly negotiated tariffs, possibly on less favourable

:06:37. > :06:42.terms. Now with an exit strategy, you then try to go to areas which

:06:43. > :06:46.are easier to Ireland would be a market for us which would be easier

:06:47. > :06:50.because they are still in the EU. A relationship which has stood the

:06:51. > :06:54.test of time is about to be scrapped once the process of EU withdrawal

:06:55. > :07:00.begins. South Africa could be bruised by a bad Brexit deal, for

:07:01. > :07:06.what they are hoping for at the very least is a bit of stability.

:07:07. > :07:12.Now to silicon valley were augmented reality is taking centre stage this

:07:13. > :07:16.week and that is the term given to virtual images in post into the real

:07:17. > :07:20.world. Normally viewed through smart glasses or your phone or tablet. We

:07:21. > :07:23.have been checking out some of the most clever ideas and we have found

:07:24. > :07:25.something that will make it easier to help friends when they call you

:07:26. > :07:33.and ask you how to use a gadget. Have you ever been to somebody's

:07:34. > :07:39.house and being surrounded by gadgets and you have no idea how to

:07:40. > :07:42.use them? There is a new application which uses augmented reality to

:07:43. > :07:48.offer remote help for something like this. It is called Chalk. I am able

:07:49. > :07:52.to call up a friend who knows how to use this copy machine better than I

:07:53. > :08:00.do. He will hopefully be able to help me get a nice brew. Dave, how

:08:01. > :08:06.are you? I am trying to make toffee but I don't know how. Get closer to

:08:07. > :08:15.the Control Panel. Push this button right here. OK, I can see that. OK.

:08:16. > :08:21.You can see the clever thing is even if I move around the machine, we

:08:22. > :08:24.still have the instructions overlaid in the same place which means you

:08:25. > :08:30.could be much more precise than if it was just drawn on a normal

:08:31. > :08:37.screen. Chalk is made to work on all kinds of devices. Digital nowhere,

:08:38. > :08:44.like an hourglass, phones or tablet. It'd be available on fremium basis.

:08:45. > :08:48.You could use some levels for free. Once people have to pay, do you

:08:49. > :08:51.think they could go back to using Skype or talking on the phone. --
