i miss simmons this thing frankie, i'm sorry with shame. i'm so ashamed because it's being done in my name. a leading jewish voice speaks out against israel bruce to own gaza until palestinians are safe and secure. ease riley's envelope and use never no to my name. witness on, oh geez era. the other i major instead of going on, this is counting the cost on al jazeera, your, we can look at the world of business advocate on next. this week, the scrambled to the top of russia and prepare for potential donald trump presidency. nato pushes old members to raise defense spending to 2 percent of g d.

p. the military government submits yeah, but cannot facile and malia announce a new consideration of the hill estates. how will this affect the regional body echo will strive for free move for them. trade across the west africa and boeing's play deal with the us just as the pump and what lies ahead for the aviation jobs. and how will washington, most of the country's largest expos they certainly does have met in washington dc to mock the 75th anniversary of the military alliance spot. the celebrations come at a time of uncertainty over the us presidential election in november and the russia ukraine. board members are under pressure to raise ministry spending to 2 percent of g d. p. us presidential content that donald trump as long demanded. the european members should step up spending as high defense spending the necessary at a time of economic consistency for the exam. and that saw that with all guessed in just a few moments. but 1st, i'll defense that as an alex could help us the looks of who's getting from europe's

push for more weapons as need to members push to arm themselves. in the face of jew political uncertainty, jim and arms jo, environmental stands out as a kid with a big deal of to deal preparing the company. and it stopped price. so a purchase, whole time, high of $582.00 and the numbers of staggering overall total and they to spending increased by 11 percent in 2004 compared to 3 percent in 2023. on the 19th of june, the company received the biggest order and its history. $9100000000.00 to make our tillery i munition for the german army. so great is the demand for artillery shells, especially the 155 millimeter round, favored by west anomalies. the volume metallic recently opened up a factory and ukraine and a 2nd munitions plant in germany to keep up with demand brought me towards purchase spanish, munitions, company expound in august last year. anticipation of the huge deluge of orders that they would receive

a bet that is paid off. the ukraine was the driving force behind all the oldest wisdom of the trees of re evaluated what future armies will need. the tanks and defenses and foster, most of them munition being high on the wish list and you appear in defense companies are expanding to meet demand. the missing cell also is the thing. it's been to physically. what's the goal? does he have to think a long time? i strongly believe that we need to empower your claim to be able to protect itself at some point. that's why we have to give them western european technologies no to technologies. and ryan mattel's proposal is to enable your client to protect itself in the meeting time. on july 3rd, right, mattel's feeling, the memorandum of understanding with the telling defense completely in order to help re equipped via tell you know, me with the latest generation prints of tanks and links infantry fighting vehicles in the deal. the german press, one who reported as being with $21000000000.00 added to this is the german armies order of $6500.00 military trucks. with $3800000000.00 signed in july. the 1st,

it's easy to see why the german homes john is writing. hi, alex could topless counting the cost out to 0? would you any, it's not from the land. is william alba cruz a non resident fellow at the extension center. he's only a worked on arms control, disarmament and european security updates, or was one of the us government. when a good time you with us, what do you make up of nato's push to get each member state to pay 2 percent of of gdp. this is nothing new, it's been trying to do this for, for quite some time. why 2 percent? why don't one and a half percent? why don't 2 and a half percent. 3 percent is 2 percent, a realistic figure as well. i think that's understands that if you go back 222004 or 2008, you're talking about europe in nato members. spending around an average of 1.5 percent a year. so at that time, it seemed reasonable to say that we should set some target that's above 1.5 percent

. because at the time, actual european defense capabilities were totally collapsing, d n e r p, and state being able to defend its own territory against the russian attack was just, i'm thankful at that point. so 2 percent was was amazing guidelines to try to reach . and so we went from in 2014 of the total number of allies being able to meet that total to now we have, i think it's $23.00. are going to meet that total as of 2024. yeah. in 2014 or 3. now there's $23.00 and you also have to figure in the middle east countries for like saudi arabia or guitar is spending around 7 percent on defense. so 2 percent doesn't seem like too much to ask. okay, but it is that going to be enough to fund they? so give them the challenges that they show currently faces to i think so, because if you think about how big the european economies r. s o 20, that's for a fall. 32 allies reach to percent. you're talking about a massive increase from even where we are now. where as i said,

$23.00 will meet that total. but i think you're all you're also right. there are countries like poland and the baltics and finland and the czech republic where they exceed 2 percent because the threat to them is so huge. and so i think more allies reaching that total will provide more capabilities. but you're absolutely right. even if they all met that total tomorrow, i think you'd still have to reassess where we are and probably set a slightly higher target your ups to biggest economies, germany and france are gonna hit that that, that 2 percent target this year. that you, you mentioned that some countries a paying more with germany of funds do you think be willing to, to step up and pay more than the 2 percent with mates on each? it's a big question. i mean, both france and both of the, germany's west and east germany in the cold war. a spent far more than 2 percent closer to 4 or 5 percent. uh, at the peak of the cold war. it's a real question as to whether they're willing to shoulder that burden. you know, in germany it's been a real struggle for them to get to 2 percent. and they've had to do this thing

called the turning point during german, but slightly vendor where they've actually tried to take defense much more seriously than they have over the past decade. can they reach 2 percent? eps is in a sustainable way. that's the big question. and then can they exceed that because they are going to need, as the biggest economies in europe, they are going to need to shoulder more of that burden. and from a con really has a vision for european autonomy, especially in the threat of a trumpet ministration. they're going to have to spend more than 2 percent, i think. absolutely right. or given the germany, the book, an upfront, as the 2 biggest economies of finding a tough one of us was economies. i mean, in, in tough economic times, i mean, surely these countries have other priorities done. they well i, i think your rate accept if it, as a nation, if you're going to try to make a trip waves between being able to defend your country and prosperity. you know, if, if you really see that as a dichotomy may, then you may with neither defense nor prosperity. ultimately russia and china,

these countries are really putting tremendous pressure on europe from the defense point of view. and these countries have to defend themselves in order to ensure the future prosperity. so for me, that's not really a trade off. you have to be able to defend yourself in order to really be able to stand up in this quote in this, in this security environment. and again, the nation to the middle east understand that says very few nations, the middle east that spend under 2 percent. what about a country like canada, who's economy is relatively healthy, and yet it is, is lagging behind in defense spending? absolutely. um, you know, ultimately it comes down to your front perception and i think canada, because it's in north america because it has always sort of the, you know, taking a minor role in global power projection. i think it just sees itself as being in the safe as being um, almost, you know, contented with the way things are. but as they come under more pressure, as they see the russians and the chinese showing up in the arctic circle as they feel more pressure in the future. sure, i think that will change,

but really it comes down to the population. it's a population really believes that under threat then defense money becomes much easier to spend, which is why, for instance, pulling can spend so much more because there is popular support for defense. whereas in canada use, you've pointed to it exactly because their security perceptions or do they just haven't come around to that point yet. it's been really good to talk to you on counting the cost manufacturing data being with us. thank you very much. i of the military leaders of news. yeah, molly and became a fast so hoping that the new consideration will help them to tackle the economic and security vulnerabilities. it comes just month sounds that they broke away from the economic community of west african states. echo was the exit has raised concerns about the future of the regional body and it's plans for the free movement of goods and people across the region. echo was that it's recent scientific knowledge, the risk of its this integration. but it says it's still committed to talks with

the new grouping. barbara and go reports nisha molly and bettina fast say, 3 military governments. 3 of the world's poor us to call them a is an oil 3 have left the economic community of west african states to form that right and alliance, the confederation of the house states to show, according to cotton geopolitical context. these means the only subject cannot be that's efficient encounter priorities, of course has been particularly lacking in dislike to do so, they planned to set up a joint military force. they say the alliance will allow them to throw off the yoke of colonialism. so content, not just also for africa is a continent that has suffered and continues to suffer due to imperialism. for them . africans belong to them. our land belongs to them. they've never been able to change their ways until now. and they want to pull their resources to encourage

development such an agriculture, sweet security for to energy and mining projects. they also want to create to currency as to how the world back says gross and to share as possible. if the divorce as well handled secure to remain stable an oil exploits their respective, but it's not so up to mystic about molly and looking especially at cost says the departure will be a major project to secure to cooperation and economic stability to get funding can only can financial level, the withdrawal of the team members could lead suspension to full projects implemented by across the country whose value is estimated in more than 500000000 us dollars. but years of crippling sanctions by across motivate tons of trans departure sanctions were imposed. beginning in 2021 following the military, cuz they cut the countries off from that trade in partners and caused hardship

among the people described by humanitarian organizations as collective punishment that they were lifted in february this year to try and entice the 3 to stay in the class, which was too late, back for newly formed confederation if the house states that cost wants to introduce a single currency entirely replacing the west african frank, a remnant of the colonial era. despite sanctions, the 3 countries contributed 8 percent of a cost annual output. so the exit would be a disruption of the country. so leading towards russia on the way from former colonial power from barbara and go out to sara for counting the cost. joining us not from a crime gonna is danielle and a tell you a name who was president and chief economist of the policy initiative, economic development in africa. advert economic. and you can become policy think tank good to have you with this, daniel?

so what will be the economic impacts then of molly burkina faso and this new jazz decision to withdrawal from echo was a thank you very much. uh, besides the, the guys have just something like that as well. so molly image is going to use all this is all we are not all d b we use, i'm also be able to assist you won't be getting busy as fast as possible in these. yeah, the i didn't need your. busy produce all the units we need to have more time with that. most managed key, immediate. yes. speed to business. yeah, there's a present gonna as soon as shopped, decline so liable to use it as well as easy. the price of this is through the spouse on it, right? so. so my goal, simple news,

i any saw the might not be. so what it means is as much as the apple is because by because all the stuff that equals inc dental, this is not easily online. what that means is that it cannot be got you to, we can do re, uh, as well as to how the advice from economic uh not to be able to be released on all the seasons. so not to give you the monthly they use the, the full days and then we are on there because we usually see a lot of trucks. okay. from the fossil reviews, the results. what it is is that these are very, that being co generation dot com. ok, so smart. uh yeah, like 300 some of the view by columbia county, the s o d

b. the law. so cost to lose the a. tell you how much of a threat does this close then to echo worse, his plan was to full, but he can on the cutie and across across the region. is that now it's not over 5, but plan gone? i mean, i'm a, to what extent of eco was only have itself to blame here. so i think there's the intense level of dealing with the, uh, uh, what's the fall coming in the least expensive that the lead we lead us all resolved to. indeed, we have from the phenomena intentional to get this all set for the last. so the group which was to uh, usability falls to kind of these their lines that the task isn't believed you got to meet most of the we've also to re, uh, by the time the we've drawn from the ridiculous release of that was nice fall last

is to try and give you the fragile pieces and uh uh, we can also see where we got to get out of the way. would you please give us a month? we have so many cars, charlie, this is useful. so any t i is security issues have in education. yeah. okay. so the need for us to be able to do with this is anyone stepping into the, the breach to offer any economic publish it to this i have, i'm thinking here, particularly of russia to the recall. those are when the i know the is this is insides rush outside and gives you these countries. what it means is, uh uh, the bro, easy to provide it because it gives the provided we literally went balls and then the comics all it is about us was beginning to be very difficult for them to read

that to jim. i could cancel coming back to the mall. why i haven't brought up behind the been able to get rough, how they're going to use the 1st one. they're going to need to call the religious the new releases you on the continent we the ways and the power is becoming very difficult for the last oppressors. and so this is one of the community for them to be able to let them know. and this body shop versus little are going to need a daniel, do you expect other countries to abandon the see if i frank as booking a fascination, i'm not a have of done that. how will a car and see a common current seat between the 3 of them were given the security situation of the region just now? did you recall and yes, i think you just area uh, most of these categories to rely on god. i meant to uh, the desktop desktop, less than one. yeah. you don't use when i say for most of these countries and what

are they to get? what about the one full garage out that will make them to be taught the columbia got a very strong engine for that to read all the music while assessing this, the degrees you in the to do for the snow. daniel, it's been great to talk to you on counting the cost manufacturing date for being with us. a boeing has agreed to plead guilty to conspiracy to defraud the us federal aviation administration and pay a fine likely avoiding a long public trial. this is in connection with the regulatory approval of its 737 max. that was followed by 2 plane crashes off the coast of indonesia at at e. c o. p, up the us justice department assessment afford conviction, but hold being accountable for misstatements. it made to recognize as a lawyer representing some of the victims, relatives called the deal a slap on the wrist. they want a trial of action against the company leaders. so what lies ahead for boeing would

explore it a little further. maybe i should not a list of just a moment, but 1st a report from image in cuba. the green to plead guilty to food, but we used to pay the us justice department $243600000.00 for breaking the terms of best settlement in 2021. the government had agreed at the time not to prosecute if being paid to point $5000000000.00 and successfully completed a 3 year probation period. the us government, a judge boat and in 2021 is one kind of conspiracy. to default, the federal aviation administration overflowed safety system. this for like to boeing, 737 max jets, crushing within months of each other in 20182019. getting 346 people. just as the period of monitoring was coming to an end adult blue of a boeing 737 max knowing jet mid flight in the 1st week of 2024. this opened up

questions on whether the company have made the safety improvements required. we welcome boeing, says it is sorry, and will prioritize safety holly. so i would like to speak directly to those who lost loved ones on line or flight 610 t t o n 01, sites trio to of the i would like to apologize on behalf of all of our boeing associates. i want you to know we are totally in there. number 4 and focus one says the 1st law, as long as we're in the latest plea deal, allies bowing to avoid a criminal trial. the 3 is it has to be seen by government appointed independent. wanted to spend $455000000.00 to improve safety know individuals and the company face criminal charges. families of the crush victims are unhappy

with the agreement that they need. that is these, this is not about compensation, but about humanity about human lives and boeing talks a deal phone does not have a concern, but they must take responsibility. consequences must be applied according to the lowest in the us. they have to be criminal detached. boeing is crucial to the us economy and is the nation's largest exports of i value. 37 percent of its revenue comes from us government contracts, including foreign military sales. is also nessa, with whom it has business in the billions. well, the store line a space project is beset with problems, costing, building $1500000000.00. a loss is a guilty plea, potentially limit springs ability to secure government contracts, but agencies have the power to wave restrictions. a federal judge will now decide whether to accept the play do image and came out to 0 for counting the cost.

joining us not from the 2nd for his gram on web hazel ation analyst an advent fellow that runs off from school of international studies. good to have you with us again, a grants we heard a lawyer representing the victims. families is called the steel a slap on the wrist is, is that how you see it? a while i, my heart goes out to the families of the be the victims of the 70 southern mex crashes. i mean a trick, 346 lives. a lot of any life is non trivial. life just intrinsically precious and my heart goes up and down and i think, yeah, this is a sham up with you. and in my own personal view, i think dealing with families should reject the pressure make to ensure that this deal is not accepted. i'm listening to the clip while you're on boeing 10. it has to do better in terms of it. so let's see if the standards and the

lapses ever seen and shot over over the last few years. because all of us depend on uh, travel and the uh, uh, coded by doing this deluxe oh boy and boss. and i think it's incumbent on the age of sector in general. and for these 2 companies. and what we boeing in particular, the do a lot better than it has in the past. all the enough measures in this field at the very least and show improvements in quality and safety as well. uh, the place is always into putting, as you know, the f, e a and boeing officials avoiding the those keys together recently to work out a plan of action to improve the standards, the safety culture and the other processes that impinge on the quality of what we so, commercial across 11 page with map anybody remains to be seen. i think the intention

of that is the right one to take, but we're going to task and to show a stronger oversight on what is the crucial company. what just to the us economy botched to people around the world with, as i mentioned earlier on, depend on the likes of boeing's at property, their bosses across to take us around to all the desired destinations. and so this roadmap, i think, is a physical stop, but i think it remains to be seen with those improvements of actual and whether or not boeing shot record gets back onto the right track. as you go along, you say that the boeing's crucial to the us economy is, is it too big to fail? i think it is. uh, this is a company that's been around since 1916. it is. um, in terms of the defense side of the businesses, you know, very well boise. so i'm talking on with a company and a sweet comp case into 2 parts. it has

a commercial airlines or commercial aviation business. you know a lot about that or thursday. so it will cost is defense spaces, security business, which uh, you know, costly is about 44 percent of its business. now this with a bulk of this business does come from us contracts. so essentially boeing sits at the heart of the united states military industrial, complex base, a critical role providing cutting edge technologies in terms of military grade across satellite systems, missile technology, and like and so in that regard, boeing is rather too large to fail. one can expect that the us government will try to get boeing that push or helping hand if you will, accelerate government military contracts. so the ensure that boeing, you know, gets its, uh, a city chunk of its own revenue stream. uh, to you know, uh how going to buffer the storms that is facing right now. okay, what,

what time is this done to boeing's business in terms of revenue, but also in terms of a reputation on and what does boeing need to do to, to repair that reputation kind of be done? well, anything is possible, i think, i think with the, with, with the, with the, with the, a commitment to really make a tangible change a tangible defense and infection in the practice of the manufacturing processes and the safety culture with envoy, which clearly is a much to be desired right now that we can turn around and we gain some of that most growth, right? know, as you speak, a boss is getting facing market share. i mean, this is, this is also be sort of days for that bus. now, it's a range of back off of, you know, increasingly popular among the air travelers. what this is, anecdotal information all smiles, the vision of, of consumers,

customers in the commercial. if it isn't as history people. uh, she said it's kind of all praise on the, on the experience line one at buses. read it back up with this issue 20 you the if you 30, if you just use a truck blowing i think is uh, you know, thinking a bit of a shit. yeah. because people are getting more towards that. possibly a couple, some i'm on a trip edition. awesome themselves. this is this going to be a safe life? so this is still a little, i think it's to probably underneath the surface by customers all key always credit storage. you know, comes with the cost crime, manufacturing day for being with us. again. my pleasure. i have that. so i'll show for this week if you'd like to comments on anything that you've seen. i'm at a finnegan on x trying to remember to use the hash tag h i c t c o. you could drop us a line. comes with the cost of elders 0 dot net is on e mail address. as always, this principle for you on lineup elder 0 dot com slash ctc. that takes you straight to our page. and they will find individual reports,

we're off. it looks like it's hell on heard voices. we've been seeing the exacerbation of the militarization of the police over the past 100 years. connect with our community and tap into conversations you will find elsewhere, both in a region government and other companies are stealing indigenous land. the stream on our 0. the the challenges with the and the lines of ethnic i'm groups is posing the biggest challenge to me in most contests since the 2021 with the exclusive access to remote camps and frontline bundles. people in shops, the progress of an idealist. the young generation of rebels was
