supply chains to neutralize our ability to wage war. this exercise will be a starting point for the government to reorganize its emergency preparedness in line with the changing war patterns. let's bring in rob mcbride, he joins they live now from sol. hello. they rob took us through the scale of these exercises. yeah, these are the largest that have been staged here while for 4 years now. it's called old chief freedom shield and it, it involves literally hundreds of thousands of a personnel, both military and also a civilian. they run through to the 1st of september. there is a very large civil defense element to these exercises with whole government departments are preparing for emergencies and so on, alongside the military units of both south korea and the united states. now the exercises happened in 2 phases. first of all, there is a simulated attack from the north. that is how the south career wood,

a wood survive and attack from the north. and then a 2nd phase, which is basically a counter offensive against the north, from south korea, alongside us allies. now for the past few years, of these exercises have not been held here on such a scale. a in part that's been because of the pandemic. but largely it has been because there has been a liberal administration here that is trying to be pursuing dialogue with north career. and this was thought to get in the way of that. but there is now a conservative administration here. president units of girl telling cabinet members monday that he wants to see security in south career, returning to a state of being water tight as he described it. that the only way you can guarantee preparedness and readiness is to hold the kind of exercises on the scale of a full blown conflict. hence the, these exercises being held, involving a literally thousands of units and personnel, both military and civilian. sir rob,

what kind of response then can we expect from north korea? of traditionally the north has responded to these are with the anger a bow, verbal attacks from official media. also, we have seen in the past, it has staged its own drills. it has launched missiles of its own. there has been a lot of speculation in recent weeks and even months that the north may resort to an nuclear testing once more. the kind of under ground nuclear test that we've not seen from north korea since 2017. now, so far we haven't seen at the north or conducting any of these, but we're waiting to see what happens. but it is interesting to see from the south puts perspective how the justification from the for these military exercises do change over the years. and from what have ministration to the next year for decades from the cold war through the end of the century, we were hearing that the south had to stage these large scale exercises. because

this was a way, a way of deterring the north of showing that you were prepared for any attack as the old argument of deterrents. well, for the past 4 years were told, nope, the opposite was true. that's a provocation to the north. and now we're being told with their resumption that yes, the 1st rationale was correct, that we have to have these exercises so remains to be seen just what the north makes of this and how it is likely to respond. rob, great space. you, thanks for the update. rubbing fried line for us in. so the governor of the us state of indiana has held talks with the president of taiwan. eric holcombe is leading. the 3rd american delegation to visit time pay this month. u. s. house baker. nancy pelosi and a congressional delegation also visited the island this month, stroking tension with bay ging tie one's president. sy, in when called for more economic cooperation with the u. s. t. i one's dominance in semiconductor manufacturing makes it crucial to the global supply chain. paying

we're seeing cutbacks, mandatory cutbacks to several of the states that have allocations of water on the river. arizona and nevada 1st are already experiencing quite significant cutbacks, and that means they're going to have to reduce the water that's available for the cities. and for the farms that depend on that water, if the levels continue to drop, california will be affected. also at the moment, california allocation has a higher priority. so the state of california has not yet seen cuts on the colorado river, but that's going to come and it's going to affect millions of people as the reservoir levels. and as the river itself continues to fall. well, the 1st thing that's going to have to happen is that some farmers are literally going to have to go out of production. they're going to have to follow their fields . they're not going to be able to grow crops a we're already seeing requests voluntary requests in the urban areas in the big cities for reductions in water use. but those requests are going to become

mandatory overtime. we're going to see cut backs to allocations for water for indoor use, especially for outdoor use. a lot of the water is still used on outdoor landscaping, and that's going to have to stop. so we're going to see cutbacks for urban users and for agricultural users as well, we simply cannot afford to keep giving more water away. the nature provides especially now with a price, with the quite obvious consequences of climate change communities in central mexico . i using a historic about unconventional technique to save thousands of trays. manuel, rap hello has the story from the amino car forest. oh, trees from a forest in central mexico or being harvested for timber? the images don't exactly evoke a sense of conservation either, but several communities who reside near the outskirts of this forest have found that sustainable timber harvest and land protection go hand in hand is approach.

i'm in thought. what can they do? this harvest generates economy gains for the community which are distributed in percentages for social projects. and most importantly, for reforestation and creating conservation brigades to protect against forest fires, such as the pine trees being hauled away or taken to a sawmill. here the sale of wood has brought steady income to almost a dozen communities known as a heedless under mexican agrarian law. and he, those have communal ownership over the force and are entrusted with protecting it on say, he goes for one historian, he says young 11 a, he knows a part of our organization. they all abide by the rules of forestry management, which determine precisely how much would can be extracted annually. with the rainy season underway, reforestation efforts are in full swing and the mexican government is providing assistance in the form of pine saplings. it's
