PM press conference statement Robin Simcox’s interim term as commissioner at the G20: 31 October 2021 extended Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s opening remarks at a press conference at the G20 in Rome
TL Bureau, Rome The Rt Hon Boris Johnson MP Six years ago the Paris Agreement made an historic commitment to end the destruction and devastation caused by climate change. Together they agreed to limit global temperature increases to well below 2 degrees with a view to keeping that increase at 1.5 degrees. But hundreds of summits, speeches, press conferences like this later, those words and promises are starting to sound, frankly, hollow. The science is clear that we need to act now to halve emissions by 2030 and keep 1.5 degrees within reach. There are no compelling excuses for our procrastination. Not only have we acknowledged the problem, we are already seeing first-hand the devastation climate change causes: from heat waves and droughts to wildfires and hurricanes. And unlike many other global challenges, the solution to climate change is clear. It lies in consigning dirty fossil fuels like coal to history, in ditching gas guzzling modes of transport and recognising the role that nature plays in preserving life on this planet, and harnessing the power of nature through renewable energy rather than orchestrating its destruction. If we don’t act right know the Paris agreement will be looked at in the future not as the moment humanity opened its eyes to the problem, but the moment we flinched and
turned away. We’ve seen some progress in the last few days and weeks. Saudi Arabia, Australia and Russia have all made net zero commitments – meaning 80% of the global economy will wipe out its contribution to climate change by the middle of the century, up from 30% thanks to the UK’s COP26 leadership. Countries such as the United States have doubled their spending on climate aid. Every nation at this weekend’s summit will end the financial support for international unabated coal projects by the end of this year. But these commitments, welcome as they are, are drops in a rapidly warming ocean when we consider the challenge we have all admitted is ahead of us. Just 12 G20 members have committed to reach net zero by 2050 or earlier. Barely half of us have submitted improved plans for how we will cut carbon emissions since the Paris Summit in 2015. And we have also failed to meet our commitment to provide $100bn a year to support developing countries to grow in a clean and sustainable way. The UN says emissions will
rise by 15% by 2030, and they need to halve by then. The countries most responsible for historic and present-day emissions are not yet doing their fair share of the work. If we are going to Prevent COP26 from being a failure then that must change. And I must be clear, that if Glasgow fails, then the whole thing fails. The Paris Agreement will have crumpled at the first reckoning. The world’s only mechanism, viable mechanism, for dealing with climate change will be holed beneath the water line. Right now the Paris Agreement, and the hope that came with it, is just a piece of paper. We need to fill that piece of paper to populate it with real progress. And I know that humanity has in it the power to rise to the challenge. The UK has proved it can be done – we have lowered our greenhouse gas emissions by 44% in the last 30 years whilst increasing our GDP by 78%. And we’re cutting our contribution to climate change more and more every day. We have made some progress at this G20. We have had a reasonable G20, but there is a huge way still to go. We all know that we have the technology. What we need to do now is to raise the finance, but above all we need the political will, in Glasgow, to make those commitments. And to keep alive the hope of restraining the growth of our temperatures to 1.5 degrees. Thank you very much and see you in Glasgow.
The Interim Commissioner for Countering Extremism’s appointment has been extended until March 2022.
TL Bureau, London An image of Robin Simcox. He will now build upon the work of the last 6 months, which has included providing advice on the future structure and function of the commission, raising awareness around extremism in all its forms across the public sector, and considering how best public bodies can be supported in their efforts to disrupt those who seek to sow division in our communities. Robin Simcox said: My time as Interim Commissioner for Countering Extremism so far has only served to reinforce my belief that a robust governmental response to extremism is necessary. I have been very heartened to see such Ministerial enthusiasm for the role of the commission in helping to shape this response, and such willingness across government to
harness the commission’s expertise. Ahead of the appointment of a permanent commissioner, which will take place in due course, the next 6 months will see a focus on rapidly building up the commission’s capacity to provide best-in-class independent advice and expertise to government.A campaign will commence shortly to recruit a permanent lead commissioner, details of which will be made available on the Cabinet Office Public Appointments website.

Every report counts: support the Yellow Card scheme by reporting suspected side effects
People who suspect they have may have experienced a side effect from a medicine or vaccine are being encouraged to report it to the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) Yellow Card scheme as part of the global #MedSafetyWeek campaign TL Bureau, London The social media campaign calls upon healthcare professionals, national immunisation programme staff, as well as patients, their carers and families, to report suspected side effects from medicines or vaccines using the Yellow Card scheme. This #MedSafetyWeek is the sixth annual awareness week involving medicine regulators from over 60 countries. It focuses on the importance of reporting suspected side
effects following vaccination and the MHRA is taking part to further encourage everyone to report. Vaccines are the best way to protect individuals against infectious diseases and have already saved millions of lives. Like all medicines, side effects can happen. Reporting suspected side effects to the Yellow Card scheme helps the MHRA to identify new side effects and gain more information about known effects.Every report counts, so the advice to everyone
is to report any suspected side effect to medicines, vaccines or medical devices as soon as possible. You can show support during #MedSafetyWeek by sharing the MHRA’s posts on social media and discussing with colleagues, friends and family the importance of reporting suspected side effects to the Yellow Card scheme. Healthcare professionals prescribing, dispensing or administering medicines or vaccines are encouraged to discuss side effects with their
patients and to be vigilant for new or rare suspected side effects. Mick Foy, Head of Pharmacovigilance Strategy at the MHRA, says: The most important part of our work is making sure the vaccines and medicines you and your family take are effective and acceptably safe. This campaign comes at a crucial time when millions of people in the UK are vaccinated against COVID-19 but is equally applicable to all vaccines
and medicines. Yellow Card scheme reports play a key role in helping the MHRA monitor the safe use of all medicines and vaccines to protect public health through effective regulation. Reporting suspected side effects using the Yellow Card scheme helps ensure vaccines, medicines and medical devices continue to be used in the best way and adds to the known safety information about healthcare products.

internet development in Lithuania
TL Bureau, Vilnius Minister of Transport and Communications Marius Skuodis approved a development plan for high speed broadband internet connection intended to accelerate country-wide expansion of electronic communications infrastructure. The plan provides for at least 100 Mbps internet speed access across the country, including households and institutions in major cities and in remote areas in 2021–2027. “Our goal is to achieve broadband connectivity and 100 Mbps download speed in all households of Lithuania. This will allow operating mechanisms, streaming high definition video information and enabling virtual reality (for teaching, telemedicine and other purposes). It will also open up possibilities to provide new services, reduce regional exclusion and promote the creation of high added value jobs,” the Minister said. It is planned to allocate EUR 75 million for the development of ultrafast internet connectivity. These funds are to be used for building transmission towers and fibre loop. While planning investment into
high-speed internet development, it is necessary to ensure that main public and economic activity spaces and public institutions are connected to the broadband network. Ultrafast data flow rates would highly benefit public institutions, such as schools, hospitals and others. High-capacity network infrastructure is expected to attract more market participants’ investment and, at the same time, to allow new market entry, promote competition in the broadband market and usage of broadband services. Before drafting the plan for broadband internet development, the experts conducted an in-depth analysis. It showed that around 32 percent (or 429 546) of Lithuanian households have no access to fixed broadband internet with at least 100 Mbps data rates. The plan prepared by the Ministry of Transport and Communications sets up measures to be implemented by Lithuanian public authorities within the financing period of 2021–2027 EU structural assistance with the view to achieve ultra-fast broadband internet development targets provided for in Lithuanian and EU strategic documents.
