we've delivered on that, and i would suggest that there are always going to be stories about differences in any particular moment. but when it comes to the strategic direction that we have taken together as allies, as partners, both within europe and beyond this, at least in my experience, has been unprecedented in its solidarity in the common determination, both to support ukraine with security assistance, economic assistance, humanitarian assistance, to put extraordinary pressure on russia to see his aggression and to shore the defenses of our alliance. and so again, i'd invite you to go back, look at the questions that were raised starting last fall. they've been answered. and then again, when russia committed the rush for the 1st place and even to this day, and i'm very confident that the common purpose that we've shown over many months will continue. i can just follow up on on that because what you have seen over the

last months is unprecedented level, all unity among an awesome partners in the response to russia aggressive war against that ukraine. and we have seen that when it comes to the provision of military support and support to promote, make support. but also in the way we have seen as partners due to being union implementing the heavy economic sanctions. sanctions we have not seen anything similar to a post on any major country ever before. that's actually what you have seen is some unfair, that level of that unity among ne balise, honda partners. of course these are difficult dis issues, hard decisions. and therefore, there is a need for consultations,

and therefore i will like to commend united states for consulting so closely with us. not only off the nation we warn, was shared intelligence is on the, in the older military invasion that has been more predicted than diesel. and not the least to close to not the states shared so much. intelligence with ne valez saw a in the months leading up to the nation in february. i'm european, i'm of course, as in this, they have impulse, the sanctions. they have a price also for us. they are hosting millions of refugees. but, but the alternative not to support your grain, not to actually enable a prism put into we. that will be dangerous for all of us on the price you have to pay will actually be higher than to not invest in the support for ukraine.

i demand by saying that preston tooted made and strategic misstate. he told the under estimate that the strength and the wheel and the ability of ukrainian people do credit on forces to defend themselves. and, and that estimated the unity. oh nathan, if all us importers to support ukraine on again, what we see is u. s. leadership at helping at this to happen both on the political, matthew level, but those are the phones to organizing and coordinate intermediate. i support it through the support group for ukraine on the northwest. now just say that wars are unpredictable. we were able to predict the invasion, but how this war will evolve. it's very hard to predict. what did you know is that

almost all wars end at some stage at the negotiating table? and this has also been clearly stated by pressed incident scott at south station. this will end of the negotiating table. but what happens there at the negotiating table is of course, told to depend on the strength of the situation on the back of you. and that's what we do, we support them and upholding the right for self defense. and then i have trust and i've confidence in the political leadership in ukraine that they can make the hard that the judgements judgements on the, on the, on decisions on oh, negotiations on what to agree to when negotiations at some point will start till the be august in our k, norway. thank you. i have one question for each ethic here blinking at you think it's possible to deter russia with weapons at this point? and how far will the usa go and for, is it

a still very at we hear about a nuclear exercises on the russian side. what scenarios are you finding flying in terms of, of the nuclear stress from the rush at this point? thank you. ok. i would say that it's not so much a question of deterring russia at this point because they've committed the aggression and they're pursuing it. ah, what we're working to do and such a general said this very eloquently is to make sure that the ukrainians have in hand what they need to defend against this aggression to repel it, to, to push it back and as well. and as a result, to make sure that they have the strongest possible hand at any negotiating table, that emerges. and i agree with the secretary general, eventually, that is what is likely to happen. we can't say when we can't say exactly how, what we can say is what we will do to make sure that ukraine has the means to

defend itself and has the strongest possible hand at every step along the way. we have evaluated what we believe ukraine needs to, to do just that to defend itself effectively. and of course, that's changed through the course of this aggression what they needed to deal with the threats to keep a very different from what they need to deal with. what's now happening in southern and eastern ukraine, so we've adjusted as this has gone along in terms of what we and other allies and partners are providing to decrease. we'll continue to do that as we go forward. again, it is fully within russia's power to stop what they started and, and the aggression that's what we seek. but as long as this goes on, we will support the ukrainians and make sure that they have what they need to defend themselves. effectively. nato in a vase or of course, similar floating, very closely have well, joshua does including the exercises. and we are also

a full clinical c, v for nuclear rhetoric that for some food in the older russian either have expressed over the last months this nuclear zebra thing rhetoric is dangerous. and he says something about there's only an increasing tensions at the same time. we have not seen any changes in russia, new cripple shirt. i know we also remind rush on the fact that that shows late us in january. they agreed in the you and the statement what a state that plainly, that the nuclear war cannot be won on should not be false. so russia knows that in the use of nuclear weapons with totally change the nature of a conflict. and therefore, a nuclear weapon shouldn't be used. calia would have seen it.

thank you. secretary, blinking 2 questions for you 1st on the food crisis that is growing deeper because of the war. is there any way to get the $20000000.00 plus tons of grain that are stuck in odessa right now, out of the country without russia allowing those ukrainian ships to move and what will be the cost for russia if they don't allow those ships to move? we know that the united states is working on overland solutions here. but what is the cost for russia if they don't allow the c routes to open? and then the 2nd question is about the timeline here. we've heard by demonstration officials talking about this conflict, turning into a, drawn out conflict. it's likely to go on for months, but with russia and making these gains in the east. now, what is the outlook?

do you see this conflict going into next year without a resolution? and then nato secretary general. you mentioned that you're going to convene leaders of feed bin lin, sweden and turkey in the coming days. so i'm wondering if you are expecting sweden and finland to come to the table with precise action they are willing to take that could a wage turkeys concern? and i'm also wondering if you're confident that turkey is concerned about their membership will be addressed this month before the g 7 summit. thank you. carly, thanks very much with regard to the food situation. a couple of things. first, we are dealing with what is a global food insecurity challenge and even crisis. preexisting conditions covered climate and now conflict. all of these

together has helped create a perfect storm where food, particularly from some of the bread baskets for the world, ukraine, russia itself, are not available because of russia's aggression. ah, and is this the result as well? prices have gone up for the food that is available. and we had a situation where a couple of years ago, there were roughly a 100000000 people who were food insecure around the world before the russian aggression over the last couple of years. that's gone up to about 160000000. now an additional $40000000.00 people by expert accounts are likely to be food and secure as a result directly of the the russian aggression. because to your point, what's happening is this. there are roughly 20 to 25000000 tons of grain that are sitting in silos near russian printing ports. you know, doesn't that can't even be moved to ships in part because there are ships at the support about any fiber, them full of this a grain. and we,

the can't move because of the russian effective blockade of the ports. so the united nations has been working and such a general i plot his efforts to see if he can find a way forward on this to allow the ships out to end this blockade that we're continues at the same time. we're looking at every other possible route to get. we grains, other things out of ukraine, and on to world markets. all of that work is ongoing. in terms of what russia risks? well, i would start with what's left of its reputation. ah, it seeks relationships with countries around the world, including many countries that are now the victim of russian aggression because of growing food insecurity resulting from that aggression. we were in new york about 10 days ago. we had the presence is, you know, the security council for the month of may, i focused our efforts on the food and security challenges that are being faced around the world. and many countries pointed out that

a big part of this is the russian aggression and the fact that food can't get out of ukraine to where it's needed. so i think there's a growing recognition of countries around the world that the challenges that they're facing. now, compounded by conflict, confounded by russia's aggression, are due to what russia is doing. i point out again that to those who are concerned that the sanctions we've imposed on russia are somehow impeding the delivery of food that is simply not true. of sanctions have exemptions for food and including services necessary to make sure that food moves like banking services. we have a, we've had a se one of our senior officials. i go around the world to make that very clear to other countries and to help them with any questions they may have. this is on russia and regardless of anything else, you would think the least. but the russians would do would be to make sure that other countries are not suffering from their aggression despite the suffering they're imposing on the ukrainians with regard to timelines. secretary general said,

well we, we can't predict how this is going to play out. when this is going to play out, as best we can assess right now, we are still looking at many months of conflict. again, that could be over tomorrow of russia chose to end the aggression. we don't see any signs of that right now, but it's a moving picture. as the secretary general said, that's by definition what wars are. and i'll just repeat what i said. as long as this goes on, we want to make sure that ukraine has in hand what it needs to defend itself. and we want to make sure that russia is feeling strong pressure from as many countries as possible and the aggression. that's the best way we think, to bring the aggression to a close as soon as possible to end the war to get to diplomacy and to stop the suffering. i'm feeling uncertain. i and my staff will wrinkle so contract, of course with turkey. i knew i lie under the 2 countries of

a part for an annual membership, both in the sweden and we have not met with them. and i'm own going to convene the meeting and a few days with senior officials on the on follow to ensure that we make progress all of the applications oftentimes in to join nato. my intention is to have this in place before the and it was i'm at the same time, i know that to, to make progress, we need 30 allies to agree. so if anyone has written, has made it, have maybe clear that they are ready to sit down and to address their concerns expressed by a target and will need to hours are of course ready to sit down on this. those concerns, including the facts opposed to turkey by p k, k. i. this is tyra's fits which of course is something we

are taking that is usually we know that no, although i have suffered more to text than done turkey. and turkey is an important ally. no police because of its strategic go jeffrey, location bordering rock and pseudo that have been important and i'll fight against the isis and also black sea country, a demonstration of really us leadership. the was there all the nato secretary general young stilton bug hailing the role that the us he's playing and rallying so whole for ukraine and opposing the russian invasion of ukraine. course he's making those remarks alongside anthony blink. and do a secretary of state who also addressed what he saw as a new, with the landscape emerging in europe as a result of russia's invasion of ukraine,

who folks about the priorities that need to be put forward for the nato organization. including bolstering nato's objects and widening the membership and bringing in new members much. let's bring in rosalind jordan. she's life for us from the state. the comment in washington dc. it's a very clear message that of unity and strength from nato members in both how they faced the russian and invasion and how they deal with the new european security reality. if we can talk it, talk about it like that. well, they really didn't make any points that we have not heard before. and as this conflict nears, the 100th day of the russian invasion, it does beg the question, how long is the west? the u. s. other members of nato, the european union. how long are they willing to watch this war?

play out, particularly right now inside ukraine's eastern of flank. and whether or not there's going to be any additional law commitment on the part of nato to try to bring this war to an end. sooner rather than later, we heard secretary of state antony blank and saying that this is a conflict that will be going on for several more months. but he didn't really get into the specifics of what would actually be needed from both ukraine and russia to actually reach a cease fire. and then to hammer out some sort of a peace accord. we also didn't really hear anything about whether they should be doing more, a given rushes, a repeated of threats to possibly use nuclear weapons as a way of defending itself. whether there's anything more that can be done, particularly from the diplomatic gov front, the secretary of state and the russian foreign minister,

sergey love. rob have not spoken since before february 24th. the day that to russia started it's air war on positions inside ukraine and both missions, both the u. s embassy in moscow, and the russian mission here in washington have very few staff bug, relatively speaking, in order to carry out some of those initial legs, a difficult diplomacy. so while it's nice to hear that these leaders are against stressing that there is western unity that there is a need to sustain a and support ukraine as an independent nation with its own sovereignty and its own right to determine its political. sure, there's really basic questions about how much longer this war is going to continue were not addressed during this press conference. perhaps what was addressed, rosalind was the issue of sweden and ne toes membership. and with the promise there, all the statement made by salt and bug he's going to be convening. he said senior

figures from those 2 countries as well as turkey, trying to figure things out and it comes to dealing with the p k. k. well it really does come down to whether or not finland and sweden are willing to ignore their own judicial processes and turn over figures which are turkey, claims are ra inimical to its owner, internal stability. whether those countries are willing to extradite those of those p k. k members to law all cora in exchange for getting unfettered and quick access to nato membership. it serves a really, really big sticking point. because both of those countries have been very, very firm about how they carry out their judicial processes. and some of suggested that they may not want to be blackmailed, even though they are both very keen to join nato. given that there is a summit coming up in the next several weeks. there isn't a lot of time, but again,

this is the work of diplomacy. there could be some other resolution at hand that has not been publicly i hinted at or explored. all right. draws it in jordan, there are russia is accusing the united states of deliberately adding fuel to the fire by supplying advanced precision guided rocket systems to ukraine. the by the administration is sending its most significant weapons package since the russian invasion began in february. a kremlin spokesman says they don't trust us assurances that ukraine will not use the missiles to target russian territory. sco lives now to our white house correspondent kimberly hallett from on this. so 1st of all, kimberly's follow the question of all us officials addressing those complaints by russia that it fueling an escalating the conflict by supplying these weapons rocket systems. ah, well,

what the united states has said because they have in fact said that they are going to be sending these medium range rockets. and what the word is, according to senior administration, official, is that these are designed to be very surgical in nature, in terms of their precision that they can precisely hit targets in the battle field . that these are designed to improve the headlines that we have seen in recent weeks. in other words, that the united states believes that things have not been going in the direction the ukraine would like. and as a result, there is a need for a different kind of weaponry. that is why the united states is sending these media res rockets, very small, number of them that can be used in eastern don bass to specifically target russian artillery the russian positions. and also to fight it with an intensity that could potentially turn things in ukraine's favor. so this is something that the united

states is defending in terms of why they are doing this. and that they believe could allow for this optic that would be positive in nature and ultimately could even lead to association in the violence that we have seen play out for a number of weeks now. all right, kimberly, how can i now germany is also sending more heavy weapons to crime chancellor. allah shaw says the shipman includes armor, the artillery and the iris t. antea croft system. you're off here and, and then under then i hear a lot out of other countries and what is being discussed. and i will see clearly there are a few who may be think that this is the way to do this. and so this will be over soon, but that can't be we will support the ukrainians as long as it is necessary. with all the opportunities we have made possible. now danes are voting in a referendum on whether or not to rejoined the european union's common defense

policy. then mark opted out of the policy 29 years ago. the rethink was called following russia's invasion of ukraine. danish military forces could join e you military operations. if there's a yes vote on opinion, paul suggest 40 percent of danes are in support, but 20 percent remain undecided. i went there mike, to be more well today if you differently and ok. yes. all along for a long time. i think you, we should be this the only way a lot of clear problem can be solved. this is when we do with the, in the site that you, i think we got, we're going off. it's an old story. you know, there was a time where no people, nuclear weapons, all that kept peace in a stable. but i think that's an old story. i think that the in the country has to try to decrease weapon and not to so called the weapon industry.

jeez, and vba is a specialist in european security issues. and the research analyst with the german marshal fund of the united states joins us now from paris. good to have you with us . so 1st of all, how major development would it be if denmark does vote to opt into the use common defense policy? hello from harris, and thank you very much for having me. of course, if then max. no, it's for joining to come in security and defense policy. this is a major step for watch. but we also have to see that denmark hasn't been part of this policy for many years and that things were not changed from one day to another . whenever we are talking about security and defense policy, we have to bear in mind that things like, for example, procurement, particularly things relating to the joint development of system always take very

long. these are processes that need to be designed, that needs to be implemented. also the systems need to be developed so we can expect a change from one day to, to another here. of course, then my could be included in my project, but let's be realistic that was take some time. seems a lot of this is obviously the results of the war and ukraine. will that conflict speed up some of the initiatives of the common european defense policy? i mean, one time, those talk of a common european army was in the well, but this talk about a common european army is something that is nothing new. so this idea of having a european army, if a truly cried a no extending idea, but what is much more interesting about the last weeks is how the you have set up its faults in european security and defense for the 1st time it has years. the

so called european piece customer. this is a tool that has been designed to support, pardon i come, treated and also to deliver weapons to them. originally, it was rather conceptualized for the south or 4000 partners, for example, in africa. and then it was used in ukraine so that the us now kind of reimbursing countries that want to live with and to ukraine. so that is clear. then we have seen the strategic compact, which also is kind of guiding document that says clear benchmarks for european security and defense. and of course has been elaborated over several years in 2020. but we see a very ambitious come up with a very clear wording on russia, which makes clear that people mostly as a regional security player that is

a clear level up. and the most important developments can actually be observed in my opinion in the reading off capabilities development. so jointly developing systems to strengthen european defense industry. because we now see that the commissioner has really launched more initiative here. and also talking about, for instance, a strategic planning capacity which could help to implement or get more life to the so called european defense funds, the funds incentivizing joint procurement and drug development. so yes, the conflict in ukraine or russia invasion in ukraine. that's called what this has definitely accelerated development. and as those developments accelerates, and as you pointed out, the you are seeing itself is more of a, of a key player in the regional security mechanisms that need to bring think

maybe how that fits with nato. actually the think that now feminine sweden are planning to join nato makes rethinking this question of you need to come from a terry seen a bit easier and teachers, we've had these endless and sometimes almost pure logic or the base is new defense. a concurrent, is it a concurrence to nato? does it question they do? we have that over the years. and particularly countries like from to f, k for a stronger you defense have asked me to take off. not seeing nato as sufficient, not sufficiently seeing nato as important for your security and the fact that simon and sweden are now joining nato basically means that we have a much more important overlap membership between ne 2 and you. because only 4 in

you countries. and these are countries that are traditionally neutral, i don't have an army. so with exception for countries all you members, also nato members. and then clarifies things in terms of european security and defense. because it's moved that shows that nato is particularly seen as important for it's quarter collective defense and also the parents. so that clarifies the difficult question for the you. we also have a european family. there is cloth, it's 42.7 in the tree of las crime and for the new that clarifies the things because it needs that when it really comes to the military celebrity, it seems that concrete more willing to rely on nato and not take care. right,

i mean, you have kind of the cold right. all right, thank you so much. seen viber there. thank you. denmark has the lazy country to have its gas supply cut off from russia after moscow turned off. the taps to netherlands on tuesday, denmark's largest tenant company says moscow cut off its gas supply because they refused to pain roubles. natural gas supplies to finland, poland, and bulgaria. i've also been halted. president vladimir putin has ordered 4 payments to be made in russian currency to counter weston sanctions. global energy supplies are a major topic for discussion between rushes, foreign minister and his counterparts in the gulf. saudi arabia hosted so gay lab rather than foreign ministers from cotton, the united arab emirates among coit and bahrain speaking after those talks of russian foreign minister, his house at the european union, for banning most oil imports from russia. so gay laughter of also accused the us of instigating nations against your political christian versus the church for the

duration is such that any group of countries should not be allowed to dominate the international arena. and to put their own priorities and establish one singular polar world. but some of the countries are not hiding their true intentions. they don't allow any alternative thoughts. the war in ukraine is ceiling a global food crisis. western leaders of blamed russia for holding the world to ransom by blockading ukrainian ports. the head of the roman catholic church is called for everything to be done to free up. we tax bolts from ukraine in this run the vehicle. but surely the blocking of exports of wheat from ukraine is very worrying because the lives of millions of people depend on it, especially in poor countries. i make a heartfelt appeal so that every effort is made to resolve this problem to guarantee the universal right to nutrition. please do not use wheat of basic food stuff as a weapon of war. after 1st blocking wheat exports,

india has begun restricting shipments of sugar to india, and farmers are the leading produces of sugar as of wednesday, export is will need special permission to sell abroad over our fears. restrictions on rice exports could be next. malaysia has temporarily band its chicken next falls fall. st. louis reports from column for the government says is concerned about poultry shortages at home and rising prices. an important source of income for chicken farmers in malaysia has been cut off after an export ban came into effect on wednesday. it's a fresh blow to an industry that's already reeling from rising costs. if we've been seeing up all, all, i don't mean you know, by me, any country that way i what did they can you switch to another country supplier. so it's really hard to get them back to buy,

but with lithium in the future. so this export men will definitely be simple to re temporary solution, but we have a lot of them hitting the price of chicken feed has soared with shortages caused by the war in ukraine and a heat wave blamed on the climate crisis. malaysia is not the only country cutting back on food exports. we've seen similar actions by other governments, such as india and indonesia to restrict certain exports of food items in order to contain rising domestic should inflation pressures. because for developing countries, food accounts for a larger part of measurement of inflation and retail price inflation. it isn't just about price stability. the export ban is also meant to ensure the local market has enough chickens. it's consumers outside of malaysia who feel the bands impact neighboring singapore import at 34 percent of its chicken

supply from malaysia last year. almost all of that life. the singapore government says it's looking for new suppliers and has urged consumers to switch to alternative meets. but food sellers is specialize in a popular dish known as chicken rice. say it won't be easy to find a substitute for a key ingredient. they're concerned about a dip in business. most younger i thought he's not 100 percent up to the rice, not all use fresh rice basically bought the life block that so the bed would mean we are no longer able to sell. i mean, going up in august, maybe coca cola says the malaysian government hasn't said how long the export band will last. but officials say they hope supply and chicken prices stabilize within a month. florence li algebra a little important. let's bring in jane back to me. she's

a senior lecturer and the department of environmental and geographical science at the university of cape town joins us from that. good. have you with us? so we're talking about food protectionism, chicken from malaysia sugar in india, even some talk of rice. how is all that impacting people in africa? yeah, thanks there to be years having significant impact on the outcome. so in content, so we're really looking at incredibly high levels of institute to the current estimates, all those 80000000 people in chad. the already on the bring installation for the 18 or 14000000 in somalia, ethiopian tenure needed today. and so much of the food is important either today or is financial enforce. and the moment we start to see these export bands put in place the existing price. so we know that i think 32 percent of weak

imports in back and continue came from russia and for the 12th century ukraine. and obviously that has been put in a chuckle. and now we're seeing these for the export bands be put in place. and the fear is that we'll see price escalation, like we did in 2008, 2009 when there was a series of a particular price in those days. how worried are you that we might see other countries joined? this kind of action and do it with other commodities. i mean, what is the end? yeah, absolutely. i think there's a real fear of that and it's being people pushing against these expos bands from, from early march. and it does have a creepy, inevitable, a t. so even within the african continent we're starting to see explore bands bending through. so egypt has put an export ban on wheat flour, pastor lentils can, is use, put an export ban on fresh fruits and vegetables. algeria put one on the edge and sugar. so there is a kind of a way developing and then right,

and that's quite wiring it really is because it means that the countries that's the dependent on the board. so having to seek alternative markets of paying higher prices are trying to just kind of rob peter to pay paul we're, we're ready facing a significant challenge. and this is not a affecting kind of markets, but also things like the world. the program are noting increasing costs and limited availability of foods to go into the feeding programs which are in greater demand as food prices go up. and it's not only sort of food holding and protectionism is it. i mean, when you look at how the impacts of the war in ukraine, what it's done to energy prices, that also impacts the price of the food that is available. absolutely, so obviously the price of energy impacts production prices, pricing, impacts processing, pricing, transport logistics, and has a massive impact on the price of fertilizers. so we'll see this is kind of

immediate shocking prices, but the increase cost per license. the limited availability of the class is remembering the russia and better route. some of the largest exporters of life is going to have an impact on growing seasons around the world for the next few years . so the world bank is estimated that we're going to see this fuel price crisis until the 2024. i thank you so much for sharing your perspective on sir. hurricane agatha has killed at least 11 people and saw the mexico 33 others missing. following the strongest hurricane on record, the hid the southern pacific coast during may 160 kilometers an hour wind speeds and heavy rain flooded homes and washed away roads. man, you're a paolo's life for us in mexico. cities a has it look there now semi as you mentioned, those numbers of missing persons and the number of deceased has not changed since federal and state officials gave those updates. early on wednesday morning,

the governor of the state of 100 mood said also during a press conference. early on wednesday, that heavy rains associated with heavy with hurricane agatha brought widespread flooding and mud slides not only to the coast of haka, but also to se a number of small mountain towns near near the coast. now, well, i guess it was only a category to hurricane when it made landfall, it does appear to be a significant storm. it was a quite a destructive storm system. and as you mentioned already, a historic storm the strongest to make plan fall on mexico specific coast. the strongest may storm to make landfall on the pacific coast of the country. unfortunately, the storm itself is not over. we've heard from weather forecasters who say that while the hurricane itself has already dissipated over the mountains of southern mexico, those remnant thunderstorms could regroup, potentially forming a tropical depression. as that storm system skins, the gulf of mexico and the caribbean sea. today we should note is june 1st,

wednesday june. first is the start of the atlantic hurricane season. so again, if the remnants of agatha were to reform into a tropical depression, if we were to see a center of rotation indicating the formation of a tropical storm, it could be the 1st named storm of the 2022 atlantic hurricane season. if that were to be the case, the name would change from agatha to alex, bringing wind and rain to the u. s. state of florida. by the end of the week, i will leave it. i think so much. now rescued workers in columbia trying to say 14 coal mine. this have been traps. and monday when explosion blocked their way out . the block happened in the north santander region near the border with venezuela. sheila is present in gabrielle bought it. she's delivering his 1st day of the union address. been in office for less than 3 months, but the approval rating of july. the youngest ever president is already fallen,

facing an escalating, i'm conflicted. indigenous put your groups, anger, a soaring inflation. so what a student protest demanding food subsidies in public school improvement. our latin america, this elicit human joins us now from valparaiso, where the union is being delivered. how is the address going then? hi this, i me, it's just begun use of started about a half an hour late and it will be going on. we understand for about an hour and a half, because the president certainly has a lot to say he started off by telling chileans that important changes, substantive changes, and structural reforms are take time. it cannot be done in one presidency. we have seen some of the bullet points of the things that he will announce and they do include a special health fund for those. do that have insufficient health insurance?

he'll also announce in august a, a much awaited pension reform plan, which will sumption, which will increase pensions for those who almost don't have any wood chill is famous for its paupers engines, and people call it here. that is going to be presented to congress in august. he will also reinforce the northern border to try to control undocumented migration. but we also, we don't know very much about what he's going to do about 2 of the most important things. and that is what you mentioned, the uprising in the us, how central chile and so far. and he has sent the army in but with a very, very reduced rather with very reduced powers to control roach and attacks by armed groups and also just oregon, just ordinary crime which is out of control in most of the country right now. that's what people want to hear. they also want to hear what is going to do about inflation, which is now reached 11 percent the highest in 40 years,

very much like in the united states and other parts of the world. but jillions, these to in part are blaming him for those problems. so basically is it economics that seems to be, i'm doing his popularity and what went wrong? no, actually, i would say that it's not economics. there is a sense that this president, who is the youngest sitting president right now in the world, is improvising that the government is improvising that there is not a clear road map as to what is going to do. it's true that he has been hindered by unexpected and expectedly high violence in south central chile, which already existed, but it's worse and also crime and just in violence in general has increased substantially. many believe it's because the president doesn't seem to have strong enough leadership, but there's also the sense that there is, as i say, improvisation and rather haphazard way of, of getting accustomed to being not any longer in the opposition,

but in government. and then he's also backtracked on many of his key promises during his election campaign. like for instance, reinstating a state of emergency in south central chile rather than starting what he had called is a deep dialogue with armed groups and others who are unhappy. and i'm speaking now about the indigenous mom put a groups or claiming lance for i think that they believe is, has been owed to them for the last 500 years. so that he has got to somehow get back on his foot footing and showed that he had does have strong leadership. and then he does have a concrete road map for this for the immediate term and not just for the long term future. all right, thanks. so much was good talk to sir. now to month covered 9th, him logged out in shanghai as finally ended. oh, crowds gathered on the river side as the clock struck midnight. marking the
