A climate-related extreme drought.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>However, it didn\u2019t take long for his attentions to turn to the current US President \u2013 about whom he offered some reassurance: \u201cI think there is still a realistic chance that President Trump will decide not to pull the United States out of the Paris Agreement. That decision has not been made, but there is an active debate in his inner circle. I have some visibility to that debate, I don\u2019t know what\u2019s going to happen, but I think there is still some chance he will not pull out of the Paris Agreement.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"companion-card\">\n<p><strong>A very public apology<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Google has been dealing with the fall-out of the extremist video row all week. Matt Brittin, Google\u2019s top man outside the US, issued a very public apology: \u201cI want to start by saying sorry to the brands affected by this. I take the issue very seriously and I apologise in the instances where that may have happened.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Under unprecedented scrutiny,\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.cityam.com\/company\/google\">Google<\/a>\u00a0has been quick to remedy the situation and has introduced new measures to identify and remove offensive content. The world is watching closely.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Remembering Kenny Market<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Over to the Design Museum for an industry dinner with Wayne Hemingway, co-founder of iconic 80s fashion brand Red or Dead with his wife Gerardine. The enterprising pair launched at the now defunct Kensington \u201cKenny\u201d Market, remembered for dressing hippies, punks, acid house ravers and everybody in between.<\/p>\n<p>When they sold the business in 1999 they had 400 staff and 23 shops worldwide. \u201cThat was where we got started and built the business; London needs these spaces for creative firms to get going.\u201d Hear, hear!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Entrepreneurs on a mission<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Ronnie Scott\u2019s has hosted the great and the good of the media world this week for a series of breakfast debates. David Pemsel, CEO of Guardian Media Group, kicked off the week alongside tech founders and investors debating the UK\u2019s propensity to create new business ideas and back disruptive entrepreneurs.<\/p>\n<p>Sitting alongside Founders Factory chief Brent Hoberman and Anna Jones, co-founder of AllBright, Saul Klein, a leading VC, had a rallying cry for the audience: \u201cGreat leadership is about clarity of purpose. Big or small, your organisation must be focused on your mission.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Gina Miller ready to go back to court<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Speaking to a business audience, Remain campaigner Gina Miller pledged to stand up to the government if it tried and bypass parliamentary sovereignty during the Brexit process.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking in a debate titled \u2018Is Westminster the New Brussels\u2019, Miller vowed to fight the \u201cpower grab\u201d of the executive and reiterated that \u201conly parliament is sovereign\u201d. \u201cWe have numerous acts that need to be passed, and if the government tried to bypass them, or bring in a resolution, I will take them back to court.\u201d No U-turn there, then.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Innovation nation?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Off to the The Club at the Ivy next, where a packed room gathered yesterday to debate the future of innovation and Britain\u2019s ability to create businesses with the ambition to go global.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article\">\n<p>Michael Hayman, my co-founder at Seven Hills, noted that the venue had trumped everyone with its innovative take on a \u201cmodern British\u201d menu: Korean pork ribs, sea bass from Thailand and sausages from Yorkshire.
