it makes us worried of the country could slip back into civil or and destruction the organ on the streets of cobbled, there are signs of life returning to something like normal with more business opening and hope for a new start. but now you as long as everyone was tired of the previous government, people are hopeful for whatever is coming and the business will be better. but the views of a nerve as population remain mix. john does that, it's better for our future if the countries free of all these troubles in his fortune another in each other. we don't want to go back to the previous television era when young people would have to follow the strict dress code or get me, you know, with more taliban patrolling the streets. there's also been the return of a familiar site, traffic police in their distinctive uniforms, back on duty. a small comfort for a population, a need of any kind of reassurance right now. rob mcbride, al jazeera couple,

hello. good to be with you. our summer rains are picking up once again for india, you know, over the last little bit it's been subdued. so we've had about a 9 percent deficit in our seasonal range, but toward the northwest we do have a disturbance. so that's going to amplify rainfall amounts and where it's been dry, new delhi, and abundance of sunshine. you now start to see the rain sneak it through the bay have been called we will see the rain filter in through this area. but we've also got some heavy falls through the foothills of the himalayas impacting the pol and baton the rain in japan. we can now say it has been historic, nearly 80 millimeters of rain scooped up in one hour on honshu for q show, we've seen about a meter of rain over the last week, week and a half. that's how long it's been raining for now. it's continuing on friday and we've got some heavier pockets for chicago. who so with that in mind, a landslide alerts still in play, impacting coaching and taco shima on friday. here's something i wanted to put on

your radar. see the yellow river valley right here. this plume of moister is going to slant into the korean peninsula on saturday and potentially give us some flooding rains that further toward the south. it's trying out for southern parts of china, but some heavy falls of rain for thailand and areas of cambodia on friday. sponsor cut on airways trust is fundamental to all our relationships. we trust banks without money, doctors, without really personal information. what happens to truck in a world driven by algorithms as more and more decisions are made for us by these complex people? because the question that comes back is inevitable. can we trust algorithms in the 1st of a 5 part series? ali re question the neutrality of digital deductions. trust me, i'm an algorithm on a jessina. ah,

the un. are the world's biggest. com make a toyota is cutting its worldwide production by 40 percent of the corona virus surgeon, asia. watson's a global shortage of microchips. toyota says is planned to make 900000 cars. next month has been reduced 254-0000 german ca make an audi also announced it is extending some holidays for $10000.00 work because due to a cut in production, a comic has including volkswagen, general motors and ford have also warned they might be forced to reduce output further. so what's the big deal with that? semi conductors while the global check mark is worth about 5 trillion dollars, according to forbes magazine, that's 5 times larger than what it was in 2016. the chips are used in a huge range of industries, electronics, medicine,

and even refrigerators. you can't drive a modern car without them just one vehicle uses roughly 3000. the 3 main global players able to manufacture the most advanced me conductors r t s m. c of taiwan, samsung of south korea. and intel. the united states will learn, fix is an automotive analyst, and the owner of automotive aspects of consultancy, providing insult insights on the car industry. she joins us via skype now from buffalo in new york. thanks for being with us. so just tell us a bit more about how this chip shortage came about. well, during coven, everything locked down here in the u. s. and manufacture table, we're not producing vehicles, so we'll cancel our orders and not have a bunch of product derived when we're not producing cars. no one had any clue of how long this would last. and of course, what the huge impact would be to the motive industry. well, when things started to open up and dealers could sell vehicles,

they found there was a huge demand and they thought, well, we'll do 0 percent financing. well, this caused a lot of pent up demand. people ending leases, people wanting to buy purch purchase vehicles. and they started selling inventory that was in the pipeline. as manufacturing got back online, they went back to their suppliers and said, great, let's take on those. that product right now, but they had reallocated it to cell phones as we have the 5 g roll out to gaming, counsel, television, people were homeschooling, so they were using them for i pads and computers and so forth. so there was a huge shortage. everything got reallocated, so why they stand in the back of the line waiting for this inventory to come in. we've got other factors that have caused a squeeze us auto industry. but basically that industry and global basis. and part of that is china, where most of these chips are being manufactured. they have tariffs on them because of, of the trump administration. the 117 coming to the u. s. is going to have a tariff when you add that on top of them wanting to list those tariffs,

they decided to put the squeeze us. so you're, we're getting about 70 percent of the ships that are actually supposed to arrive here in the us. on top of that, you've got middle men who are obviously increasing the price $10.20 fold. so the cost of those microchips have gone up as well as the limited supply. and we are here now with a situation where manufacturers such as even or are you were mentioning. now today that they're going to shut down production of the f $150.00 for an additional 2 weeks. that's huge, that's their number one, money maker. and that is a problem. so it's quite a lot of factors you've issued there seems like almost a sort of a perfect storm of issues. is there a way out of this? well, that is the perfect storm of issues. you're correct. the only way out of it at this point is for manufacturers to start producing their own or controlling their own properties of chips. now they've talked about doing it with batteries, but the big problem is if you and i, today's, we're going to start our own chip factory because there's

a need for it. it would take you 3 years to ramp up to have the capital line technology and to be able to produce car manufacturers or pushing their governments, whether it be korea or germany or the us to say, hey, can you help us? can you push a long you cannot push this along because the ceramics come out of the netherlands and the metal comes out of china and that's where they can put the squeeze on people, increasing the costs, limiting the supply. and that's we are right now. we're going to see one factor that might work, going back to those original manufacturers who made the older style, not the current cutting edge, but the older style technology. that's one thing we can do. and the other thing is offering less of those kind of little features that we all like like stop, start technology and wireless. charging that you're finding that leaving some of the vehicles today and, and no updates. so in other words, using what they already have will be ways to work around this until probably 2022 and this is resolved. what's this going to mean in for consumers, for anyone wanting to buy a car right now the,

the longer this global shortage continues because a few cars are being produced. is that going to put up prices? yes, absolutely. so what happens is there is no incentives really on vehicles. finance incentives are not there. vehicles that are going out of production for 2022. those have been used up. so now you've got as a vehicle being produced for 2022 starting in timber. and if they don't have products, they're going to have to allocate to decide which of those vehicles is most important to get out. when the dealers get them, they'll sell you a vehicle, but they're not going to have what's called a d. additional dealer markup they charge higher than what it says on the window sticker. and then on top of that, once a google leaves a lot, they don't know when they're going to get another one. so the prices are going to be strong. it's good for the dealers. they're going to make the money. it's not good for consumers. i tell people you can wait till next year to purchase a vehicle. that's great if you have a lease that's being traded in contact,

the leasing company and see if you can extend it for a few months. that might be helpful. good to get your analysis on this. lauren 6, thank you. thank you. are the u. s. federal trade commission has refiled its anti trust case against facebook, accusing the tech giant of anti competitive behavior in june of federal court dismissed an earlier law suits saying the agency did not provide enough evidence that facebook had monopoly power over the social network. market. federal regulator alleges the company violated anti trust laws when it bought social media platforms, whatsapp and instagram, and wants to force it to sell them on which thoughts is from the electronic frontier foundation, a nonprofit group defending digital rights. he explains how this recent legal challenge could affect facebook's perceived monopoly. they have to say is put more

quotations and what appeared to be internal emails but weren't made public. but worse given to the court that show in different ways how facebook has acquired and has and maintains monopoly power. the court already said that it's all right and it is permissible for the f t. c to challenge those acquisitions again. and the reviews by the agency that happened at the time were not the end of the matter. the and the things that happened afterwards of evidence that they've collected since could show that facebook's purchase of whatsapp and instagram was done to eliminate potential rivals. and the loo complaint gives even more detail about that. but it goes a little further in it. it focuses not just on those acquisitions, but also on facebook entire course of conduct. and the complaint goes into all the ways that facebook has prevented other options from, from coming in into being when one of the things that they're asking for is that

people be able to leave facebook for other social networks. but not leave their friends behind. be able to communicate with their friends who are still on facebook . in other words, some interoperability requirement that by lowering the barriers to switching social networks, that could really have a strong influence on breaking facebook monopoly. and that's something that they're still asking for. a key was government has introduced the high title controls on the use of social media banning false news and anything. it says that could damage the country's prestige, and it was traceable reports. these were the largest protest in q vine decades. thousands took to the streets last month to demand food medicines and freedom. young people using the internet, managed to organize protests nationwide. but now the government is doing everything

possible to prevent them from happening again. a new decree announced this week to control social media will put people like junior darcy at risk of getting these new laws come to reinforce the prohibitions that already exist and legalize things that are being done outside the legal framework. such as the cuts of the internet service, it is a threat to freedoms and citizens, right. what is known as the queen? 35 bands, the spread of false news or messages and content considered offensive. it also says that those who have attempted to subvert the constitutional order will be considered cyber terrorism. the government says they knew, decrease an attempt to protect the population and fight the spread of fake news and probable lead to go to the ruling. the ne, in cuba, the internet is defended as a space for debate, exchange reflection expression complaints and proposes from the population. this

model will demand an adequate, respectful, ethical, and truthful use of these communication channels. 2 years ago, you were introduced the use of mobile internet at times of economic difficulties that have been exacerbated by the pandemic and us sanctions. it's become a direct threat to the government. ah, videos like lis i run example. health system has collapsed. our patients need help, we need help, we, they want our patients to die. even though cuba has managed to produce at least 2 successful vaccines against covey. 19 on tuesday, a group of q, when doctors use the internet to denounce the health crisis that exists in the country. and from now on the spread of videos like this one could be considered an attack against fidel castro's revolution was that was what i meant them. once again, cuba re seeking absolute control of a monopoly on internet access and telecommunications and is also formalizing

digital repression. it is seeking to limit the space where people can access information freely. cuba is in the middle of a massive economic crisis, and discontent is on the rise. while the government rushes to carry out reforms, it is also desperately trying to control descent. i will, as the cedar of the united nations is warning the climate change is on the brink of becoming irreversible. and that's pushing people to find new ways to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. one company in chile is turning to insects. latin america editor, this union has the story from the city of palka. they feed night and day ever staggering speed. one kilo of black soldier fly eggs, eat 25 tons of la ganeth residue in just one week. could you still impartially the

co founder and general manager of food for the future? a julian start up that transforms food waste and fly larva into a super food in almost a blink of the eye there why we chose the flies and a specific the black soldier fly. it's because the tremendous ability they have to process a lot of food waste and a lot of different types of food waste in, in a short period of time. and also the ability they have to apply technology to scale these from an industrial point of every year the world produces more than 1000000000 tons of residue from food. this wasted along with the resources used to make it but more impactful than that. is that what that food start the, the composing methane methane nice submitted because of the decomposition and methane, gus, this greenhouse gas,

that is $23.00 times more not done until 2. so, food waste alone, one of the highest c o 2 meters in the world. scientists are leaving little doubt that reducing greenhouse gases findings sustainable sources of food and accelerating the transition to a circular corner. we cannot wait if our species is to survive on our planet. this larva absorbs tons of waste without admitting any gases. then it's turned into highly nutritious fly flour, which is made into pellets for feeding fish, chickens, pigs and dogs. to most people, these little crunching critters don't look or smell very appetizing, but they are in fact packed with protein. and they also producing oil a kind of butter, which in the not too distant future, we could be supporting on our posts or using in our face cream because it's

properties are so beneficial. like coping and breastmilk, it's high in laura gassett. him heart concedes the flies still have a bad name, and that in most western cultures, eating insects is still hard to swallow. but perhaps more important is what these flies eat. using black fly larva to absorb and up cycle or organic waste before it becomes missing gas could potentially turn this still young industry into a much needed game changer. to see a new and al jazeera palka chilly. ah no, right, let's get a random now the top stories on agitated the death toll from an attack on a military convoy in kena fast so has risen to 80 gunman killed civilians and security forces on wednesday, countries across west africa.
