3:11 am
this is just the tip of the iceberg. what is happening today like the food systems is very worrisome, but basically is the confirmation or something that i think what you're going to stay with united nations have be of service for many, many years. and back in 2017, when we launch the same report that we are launching today. but back then we have in the new 5 conflict as a very key, right. the what is security, which we will, we don't share with the hanging was declining, pull at the k, and they all of us are going to study, please. again, we were wondering what is going on. so we, we started, i need to find these q drivers and conflict there now to be one of them. but then we have a whole week, but was he does not know. it just, i think that engages do big players in many respectful agriculture. but he's a coffee that we knew already conflicts all over the world would affect the the numbers. but also the key drivers are climate climate adversities coming up versus that we can no longer predict uncertainty. that's on the key drivers of what is the

group that monday fisher and then do up to that economy down there. is that with survey, even before the college 19 bundle they were crisis, economic right is all over the war. the way it really the problems are, syria is just one of the many countries when millions of people are struggling to put food on the table. and now a drought in the northwest and the war and you kind of forced many people to depend on expensive wheat imports. in a hot reports before the uprising in 2011, syria was able to feed itself. but years of war, and now a severe drought has made this nation a net importer of wheat over the past 2 to 3 years. the whole country has been hit by a crippling drought that its impacts are felt mostly in the north east, which is traditionally the bread basket of the country. let alone areas that are in
3:13 am
the northwest of the country or regime health areas. the rise in global prices, sparked by russia's invasion of ukraine, is threatening food supplies to many people in syria. the country is among the 10 most food insecure nations in the world. 12000000 people struggled to get enough food. many of them live in the opposition controlled north then we have limited incomes, and yet we have to rely on expensive important tweet. because much of the land in this region is mountainous. we can grow much wheat and lands where we can be grown are not accessible. vast areas were set on fire by government forces during the conflict and irrigation channels were destroyed. and even though there is now less violence, front lines still exist. and i know that we are close to that position whose many people can't reach their land because it is dangerous humanitarian organizations,
3:14 am
as well as the local authorities, are helping farmers to produce more food. but it's costly to plant crops. so as transporting the harvests due to high fuel prices, fuel is also needed to pump ground water to make up for what is being described a serious worst drought in 70 years. and the opposition held area and the noise production won't be enough. them as this year 30000 hector's were cultivated, but the low rainfall and high production costs her farmers. a ton of wheat costs $450.00 and we will have to import more than $30000.00 tons this year. the average annual amount of we production before the war was 3700000 tons. this decline to 1800000 tons between 2015. and 2019 harvests are shrinking, and farmers are fighting to survive. and with more than half of serious people already hungry, the agricultural crisis couldn't come at

3:19 am
growth may come from in the future. expecting the government to intervene and do a little bit more. and i think it's interesting what the ex chancellor is really talking about because there is no doubt that they've been differences between watch number 10 and the prime minister wanted to see. and what the treasury that regime soon ack represented was concerned about. so the prime minister wanted to see tax got more support to the economy because he was quite aware of what the population is thinking right now. the war in ukraine hasn't helped tool, but the treasury was very concerned about some of the costs of those tax cuts might mean and wanted to postpone them for a while until they saw how things were developing, particularly in the global environment and energy prices and food prices, so there was a rift, there's no doubt about that, but that's pretty cool and has been pretty common in the u. k. so it's not you that itself is not a reason for resigning normally. now,
3:20 am
foreign ministers from the world leading economies, the so called g 20 a group of nations are gathering on the indonesian island of bali for talks, the war and ukraine, the global food crisis, and pandemic. economic recovery. just some of the issues they like you to discuss from mcbride has one out from bonnie holding the presidency of the g 20 indonesia as president joker. we, dodo has positioned himself at the center of global events after meeting with the leaders of the g 7. last week, he undertook shuttle diplomacy between the competence in the ukraine war, seeing for himself, the destruction in the town of ed pin outside the capital cave. and that it's very sad, a lot of houses, an infrastructure are broken. we hope no other ukraine cities would be ravaged because the war then to moscow for talks with russian president vladimir putin as a leading force in the so called non lines movement of nations. indonesia believes
3:21 am
it could act as a bridge between the 2 sides of participation in, hey, tanya, in meeting will be a very valuable opportunity for the russian government to address a position to the rest of the world. and which is not only advantages to put in government, russia, but it may be quite conducive to all warring party in the ukraine crisis. russia's foreign minister said love ralph is due to hold bilateral meetings with some of his counterparts, but significantly not with us. secretary of state and city of lincoln. the last time the 2 met was in a tense encounter in january when the raw gave his assurance. russia had no plans to invade ukraine. a month before a day, just that the g 20 came into being in part to deal with the fallout from economic crises that the g 7 couldn't handle on its own, especially in recent times,
3:22 am
this gathering takes place as the world is now facing the perfect storm of global challenges, the ukraine war threatens a worldwide food crisis and n denisia like many countries, is heavily reliant on grain from the region. the war is also helping push up energy costs that are driving inflation. added to that ongoing tensions in the indo pacific with china increasingly confronting its neighbors, a nato at its last meeting, promising to push back. in this idyllic island setting the world is looking for solutions to some nightmarish scenarios with any signs of progress. be welcome right now. rob mcbride, al jazeera fall, let spring and jessica washington, she joins us also live from barley. jessica had challenging time for indonesia to be hosting this meeting. can you talk us through the priority is on the agenda here? well, that's exactly right. it is a challenging time for indonesia to hold the g. 20 presidency traditionally into
3:23 am
these are the country that doesn't get involved in these international issues of significance. and so from jakarta perspective, this is seen as an opportunity for indonesia to have its chance on the world stage . but of course, it's g 20 presidency coincides with the tensions geopolitical tensions, particularly in relation to the war in ukraine. what's important to remember is that when we're talking about the g 20, we're talking about a very diverse range of countries. in contrast to say the g 7. when we talk about the g 20, we have of course, countries like the u. s. and it's western allies that have pushed for a hot line when it comes to russia. but of course, we also have countries that have long standing positive relations that have continued to be positive with russia. countries like n janisa, india and china. and so we have these diverging perspectives and indonesia as the host sort of has the difficult role of trying to mend to bridge those gaps and,
3:24 am
and bring those countries together. indonesia has flagged firstly that its priority during its g. 20 presidency is economic recovery, post pandemic. the theme of all of indonesia, g. 20 events has been recovered together, recover stronger. what remains to be seen is whether that sense of unity can really be achieved in the context of these currents geopolitical tensions. we've heard from some foreign ministers already, that this event cannot be treated as business as usual, that russia must be held to account. we also know that issues of food security and the energy crisis will also be discussed, indonesia has flagged, but it would specifically like to focus on these issues in relation to the impacts on developing countries. now, in terms of this minister, this meeting of foreign ministers, we know that some have already begun their bilateral meetings. we know we have a sense of what will be what to expect. we know that the us and china will,
3:25 am
will meet on the sidelines at the summit. but this foreign minister summit will also provide a taste of what to expect when g 20 leaders meet later this year, indonesia hope that this will be a successful and productive summit. that remains to be seen whether that can be achieved. jessica washington, keeping an eye on those meetings for us in bali. thank you, jeff. i'm moving on and us prosecutors say the man accused of killing 7 people as an independent stay parade near chicago has admitted to carrying out the attack. 21 year old robert creamer is denied bow during a court appearance on wednesday. he's charged with 7 counts of 1st degree murder and faces life in prison. he's accused of firing more than 70 rounds into the crowd in highland park on the 4th of july pad. you call him reports now from washington, dc. the suspect in the highland park shooting at the 4th of july parade is facing charges of murdering 7 people. he repaired in court today was denied bell, but prosecutors and police gave many more details. they say that crypto actually
