inevitably, his brain will be short, similar to a batch of king of the 7, the beginning of the 20th century. and he knows very well that he's going to leave his mark for the history books. the history books are going to be filled with the achievements of queen elizabeth a 2nd. can he match that at the end of his reign? and that is the challenge which he has got set himself. and just briefly, before we let you go, christopher, what impact do you think the queen staff and the ruling now of king charles will have on the commonwealth? well, i think the queen very shrewdly decided to throw. busy her feelings about camilla becoming queen, consort is the arena. she must have known that she was reaching the end of her life and that she didn't want people to be ruffled about that. being a queen, camilla,

i think we have to look rarely to the legacy of the queen and the future of king charles. the 2nd editor came charles with that and worry less at this moment about the issue of committed, which i think moved on. i'm sorry to say, well, we appreciate your, your thoughts and prospects you throughout the day. that was christopher wilson, a royal biographer. they are plenty more of news coming up on al jazeera, including extensive coverage of queen elizabeth the seconds. death with reactions from around the world will leave you now with some images from her 70 year rain. ah, ah, i didn't have my whole life. whether it shall be debated the old service. ah

ah ah, what i say to you now, the queen and the grandmother. i say from my heart, i want to pay tribute to diana myself. she was an exceptional and gifted human being. ah, ah, queen. we have seen the worst,

but also the best of our continent. we have witnessed how quickly things can change for the better. but we know that we must work hard to maintain the benefits of the page world. ah, we understand the differences. americans have cultures across the world. so no matter how you take it out there, we're bringing the news and current affairs that matter to you. counties, era. human progress is in decline. the u ends found that life expectancies, education levels of living standards have fallen in nearly every country. so what's behind that change, and how can the trend be reverse? this is insight story.

ah hello, welcome to the program. i'm adrian finnegan, 30 years a continuous human progress is unraveling. that's the warning from the latest report on the united nations human development index. it's a measure of average life expectancies, education levels and living standards around the world. since it was introduced in 1990, the index has increased every year until 2020 but the u and has now recorded 2 years of decline in a row. it means that we're living short a lives a less well educated and that incomes a going down. the pandemic climate change and the war in ukraine had been blamed. the un says that the world has been lurching from crisis to crisis over the past 2 years. the setback is global,

affecting more than 90 percent of countries since 2019. the worst affected is south saddam people there live on average until they're 55 years old. annual earnings a $768.00 at the other end of the scale is switzerland. it's been a top performer since 2009 people that are expected to live in to their mid eighty's. and they earn on average $66000.00 a year. the u. n says the situation could be improved by countries investing in renewable energy, preparing for future pandemic, and insuring against economic shocks. elders there is, hipaa. morgan has more now from khartoum on why chad, south sudan and this year are at the bottom of that list. when you pick a look at the 3 countries at the bottom of the list, there are a few factors that they seem to have in common. now, one of them is conflict. those countries have been facing conflict for years now. that has led to the displacement of millions of civilians. some of them being

forced to cross the border into neighboring countries to seek refuge. their reports also mentioned the impact of corporate and global supply chains and the impact of those countries at the bottom of the list. some of them already vulnerable because of the conflict and because of other disasters they were dealing with. now the report says that it has not looked into the impact of the war on ukraine, on those countries, but that, that will likely have a more negative and deeper impact on those countries already at the bottom of the list. and we'll have an impact on the mental health of the people living in those countries. now, one thing that says that those countries also have in common is the impact of climate change south for them. for example, have been witnessing floods for 3 to 3 years now, and that has led to displacement of tens of thousands of civilians and the submerging of villages as well as the loss of life. same thing has been happening in chad over the past few months with villages being submerged and people losing their lives and people being forth from their home to seek shelter on dry land. now

the opposite is happening in the chair, and that is drought that has affected the livestock and the livelihood of people. there. all these factors leading to again impacts of the well being of the people they're specifically on their mental health. he will morgan for anti story. ah, let's bring in our guests for today's discussion from new york, we're joined by louis philip lopez cover the un development programs regional director for latin america and the caribbean. from kwan lumped up dr. jamil my food professor at executive director of planetary health that soon won the university and from nairobi. charles to sync up the middle east and northeast northeast africa, director of a plan international. welcome to you all luis, philip a lopez cover. let's start with you. we live in a world of worry, begins the report, but we've always lived in a world of worry and uncertainty. what's new here? humans have always been concerned about plagues and pestilence, violence, and war,

floods and droughts. to quote the report. what is significant about this report? thank you very much. i was, you got whether the best tradition of these you might do better is to try to a proposal, an idea of the state of the development in the world and quantify some of the challenges. and i think the most important aspect now what the difference is that the mix which is that make sure the synthetic, make sure we're used to measure progress for the 1st time in 32 years. susan reports are published has actually going down, has gone down for the world for 2 years in a row, 10 percent of the countries have a reduction in development the next. now 90 percent of the countries have a reduction in the human development. so there's a situation regarding the development massively for the world,

but also makes the point about increase uncertainty and we can talk about what the grease uncertainty reading is important that we talk about how the economy crises followed probably, and the recent crisis. but now the report one to 5, i'm sure i might need to talk to john about what struck gue most about this report . i think 1st of all, i want to congratulate you n d p for this really remarkable report. because for the 1st time i think it even in the last report. but what it does is it positions the danger of the entropy seen in the now very uncertain complex, which is a very welcome welcome report. and it gets us to start looking at how, you know, the, the dots are now joining and how that impacts people's lives. at the end of the day,

it is about the human population, not just in terms of health and know that, but also the stress it's, it's causing and almost the paralysis and powerlessness that people actually feel. and we, we have to now say that we are in this complexity that is cascade being that is colliding. and we've got to find the way out of it. talk to minute, not 9 and 10 countries slip backwards on that the human development index in either 2020 or 202140 percent of the fell in both years. and then what led to such an unprecedented decline? do you think? i think this has been something that has been building up, but we know we are living in the entropy and it actually human behaviors. and but this, the rate at which, you know, this decline is happening, which is very alarming added to that. you know, we've had a couple of very severe and, you know, major crisis, not just the pen damage,

but also, you know, you've mentioned the ukraine, the, you know, the polarization of the world that is not helping in the political leadership to find solutions. ringback we have a very paula paula white. whoa. and you know, in the middle of that people are stock the multilateral institutions also stock because you know, you can find that clear way out. and i think we need a global leadership now to be at its finest. charles, boosting south sudan chad and this year, as we reported or at the bottom of that list, and you had our correspondent, hipaa morgan saying that a common thread that is conflict and natural disasters. what do you think makes these countries so vulnerable? is it just that or does leadership good leadership come into it to is a combination of different pact, us and as we hugged, we were talking about these countries coming of copied conflict,

extreme weather conditions and the also the global impact of the in a crisis. so they are not specifically as simple guided from all of this crisis is and the who in that is combined with bad governance that the enhances a couple induce ability of the countries in addressing some of these as we have also seen from the report that the crate are feeding off each other and that is a really good day that enhances the vulnerability of all the populations that in those countries. and that significantly and puts on some of the populations like women and children who would fit the brand of all those kind of situations. what impact charles, will the war in ukraine have? i mean that, that's happening a long way from most developing nations,

particularly in africa. but what impact will that ward ukraine have on developing nations that are already struggling to fall at to deal with the full hours of, of the pandemic? yeah. did the william ukraine you've already seen in most countries has impacted on de, raised in full prices and fuel prices and a making many of these countries unable to meet the needs and the food needs. so it has compounded they already existing bud situation for some of these countries. we've seen day impact of supply chain condition, which has resulted in tool. many of the countries are not being able to have access some of these for the planning. and we've seen that in north africa, for instance,

where most of this will have been dependent on know which from ukraine and russia been impacted by these. and that they said has had significant impact on women and children. luis very pe lopez called the when the report talks about a decline in human development. what exactly does it mean? index combined 3 aspects, one is in education and the other is measured by specific indicator which is like expectancy. why don't the main shocks this indicator, of course, rather shocking and the back it seems to be longer time. i think it's important to emphasize that life expectancy went down by almost 2 years. that is

a lot in general have taken 2 countries to get to higher their expectancy, which is typically an indicator that way summarizes the fate of many other social indicators. but i was want to emphasize that if we look at in the report games, not only in terms of the economic conditions for the people, but also social and political education is very important because what we see is the lowest level of trust. i'm a citizen. because of these increased level of uncertainty and the fact that they don't have control over their lives because they shopped and we are very high level of political. we carry a piece solutions, maybe something that you would want to follow up on. i can read these, but think about i was opposed to the ice invest you sure. and you know, i,

we show cases of country that have done that try to recover and i have done as fast as i can, the nation so much investing in insuring and innovating needs. good leadership, doesn't it? i mean, the world is not exactly blessed with, with the best of, of leadership at the moment when we've got so many den ago, demagogues the, the political polarization that we're seeing at the moment that, that the large towards popularization the world is, is looking fragmented and is not coming together in the way that it needs to, to, to bring about what you propose. it is indeed a momento, hybridization, and no trust. as we show in the report, we believe that both transformations either shoot or

sexual the there should be in the sense that people have to come together to create a page for people to come together. we talk about the investment, for example, investment or energy investment and interest structure like your why that has you invested in for structured most opp, 15 positions where we have the adjusted for granted pressure. so we have to go not 7 places because they have taken decisive action. the job. so of climate we will talk about the sure and we go, we measure the going from social protection to social studies. where do you give back to the people in the sense of control over their own lives? and we believe that yes, leadership is amanda. but also a collective, a collective action collectivity that should be the same as the people together. dr . javan, i'm a hood a, are you confident that the world can come together to solve problems that are,

that are me? let's face it mutual or we're, we're all in this together. the report talks about the world lurching from crisis to create crisis and, and creating layers of uncertainty. and how is all of that affecting people's general well being the mental health? what do we mean by an uncertainty complex? first of all, let me maybe look at the report and all those conger this image when i read it, but basically saying we're all gone back to becoming developing countries, you know, and everyone is now, you know, every, every countries facing its own challenges. i think that you know, on your question, can we do something about it? yes, we were once in that situation. what did we do? what did we learn? what kind of leadership led the way for us to, to get out of that situation. all these things, these lessons, the stories,

you know, we need to capture, again to navigate this uncertainty. and we're talking about, you know, the answered the uncertainties and the complexity in the end. there are 4 elements very nicely described in the report which is looking from different elements from economics to the entropy seen and through, you know, the climate issues that we're facing and, and the individual level as well. so that issue around mental health is what i mentioned earlier than that, you know, people are subject to so much information and luis, you know, i love this report, but the one i that i would have added was information because there's so much information and this information that is really, you know, making people they are able to really focus and find a way out because you get paralyzed. and i, and i want to turn to the media, you it al jazeera of 250000000 viewers in the in 140 countries. what can media do now to help us? how do we get the stories?

how do we have a shad narrative of a common world of a plan that we need to protect humanity that we need to put in the center? this is what we need to do. we are faced with a planetary catastrophe. we have no choice. we can give up, we need to push on, but it requires this transformation that is global, not at regional sub regional level. it's a global global issue. we all need to own and tackle together. and i think that all the speak that we've had on greening the column, me and green transition energy, all that speed has to stop. we have to see action going out, but happen how a doctor barcode, i mean it's, it's one thing to say we have to, we have to take us, we have, but how the will has to be there. the people have to tell their leadership and the people have to also an individual level change the way they behave. i mean, okay, but if you put politics aside in the world to day,

there's more stuff than the weight of the people on the planet. so low consumption patterns of whom as the behaviors on actually not even thinking twice when they're consuming energy the, the way we are putting up fossil fuel commissions and without thinking about the damage is being done. the way we skirt around the work climate emergency and go into to create, you know, treaties that would normally put, put through. so we, as individuals need to rise and see at our individual level, this is what we need to do. and this is what we also need to do, man of you know, whether it's our government or business that you know, if, if people change the way they behave, then there's, we have a chance. i'm not saying that is going to solve everything. but we have a chance now of actually trying to find that solution. but if we go into a apathetic mode and we give up, then that's the end. and i think for me, but working at some reimbursed the the why we said that the pantry, how center is to tackle it through a revolution in education,

getting our students to understand the decisions they make when they're out of university. when that work will have serious implications on the planet will have, will contribute to the pot complexity we're facing in the world today. and we need young people now to be educated in a way that, you know, shows value of being a, be a human being on this, on the shared earth that we have charles procedure. is it possible to put politics aside we, we talked earlier about how issues of bad governance of, of, of held back development in, in africa for us as the, the report says, the recovery from the pandemic has been unable on, or even a partial further widening inequality is in, in human development, but can you think of any exams to give us about this, this global divide that, that, that exists, access to coven, 19 a vaccines, for example, which, which has this, this political element to it,

the vaccines of their available the world did a great job in producing these vaccines to head off the pandemic and yet not everyone can get them. yeah. i think they're the 1st to find a mentor issue is could be true to commitments across different people across different does across different groups, especially those in go. and so i think there are moral issues here which need to be looked into. and we need to be able to look at these issues as global issues that would require global action. andy, and for me, politics isn't a claim to their it. we cannot just separate these issues from politics because is part today some decisions which are made in some places which will have

implications in other places. if we're talking about inequality, the decisions we made by some individuals in power, which will impact on those individual, either individuals who cannot make the decisions. so the quality question comes at the center, which also requires immoral reflection, more discussion to the multiple i do, we have been talking about preexisting inequality, especially those which are driven by gender driven by read driven by other considerations which we need to put into perspective. and come to terms we, if we are going to look for solutions, we need to look for collective solution where specific countries will definitely need assistance to improve on their governance credentials. but also to address some of the issues that require specific investment. and the

andy at the, i think the report phase, we need to invest, we need to know bit, because the crisis is getting complex. if we cannot be able to in a bit, if we cannot be able to invest as a collect you, we are going to remain in the situation even getting less lewis. philip has called her, i want to end the program on an, on an optimistic note. but i'm going to start with a, with a negative question before i ask you what, what some of the positive takeaways off from this report, dr. jimmy, my food was saying that people needed demand action all of the governments. but how can they, in some of the world's more authoritarian states? i mean that's, that's not exactly an option that's opened to them. is it actually

in a, in a way i'm to assessing all these, put them across right . types of leadership people together. i think that he's trying to make. ready in their report, but also one of the main messages, this idea that they say they support uncertainty as well. i just, i want to say, let's have some nice landing of the report. i think they're investing in every context. how would the final, why do we need to do it to a more closely sustainable pass? thank you, but i went to say, if i may international these from a center 2030 agenda, which we would say that way to try to move from ideology to ideals. well,

let's try to work hard to turn them into instruments to ring them back together. and then that's your level we have. i really like to make the caribbean the last 2 years. i tried to super cycle the depth of the number of elections and people have chosen to process the tensions through democrats. and i did the 1st time ever, and i want to appeal to what you mentioned before it's a call on so for everybody has, you know, way a space to take a drug dealer. and i, you know, a shirt is about social innovations. how about everybody? the company, the, their community solutions and that we must and i'm afraid we're out of time. thank you so much for being with us. luis, philippe lopez, caliber, dr. jimmy, my food and charles was sing, thanks to you for watching. don't forget, you can see the program again at any time. by visiting the website, al jazeera dot com for further discussion. join us on our facebook page that's at
