if we want to keep food on the table without continuing to ravage our natural environment, we need to completely rethink how our food industries work. i'm russell bid and finland were one restaurant is championing a hyper local circular economy to create a revolutionary approach to dining. i must left for a new entity by scientists combating jellyfish films by taking them out to proceed on to our play and developed countries like finland. it's hard to imagine that we're in the thick of a global food crisis. these helsinki shelves, us back to the hilt with a wide variety of tasty treats bear salami. oh, but what's the true cost of all this choice to are increasingly belated planet reindeer spring roll. global foot system is incredibly wasteful. views,

huge amounts of energy, water, and land to grow food and fly it thousands of miles around the world. i mean, for much of it to remain on it is incredibly inefficient and balanced operation. audible post. i don't know if my pronunciation is quite right and what, what type of programs, corporal coast. okay. so you can have an a dig around to see if we can get some statistics about the amount of food that is wasted. so she imagine this pull of bread is total food produced in the world. last 10 percent during cultivation, 7 percent is lost after the harvest, 12 percent, which is lost during processing or point of sale. and another 11 percent is lost after has been purchased. i means in total, over a 3rd in the food will produce, wade is wasted, just thrown away as best something shocking to me. a growing movement of pioneers are taking steps to fix this global problem. this is

ultima. a 5 star restaurant aims to be the model of sustainability. all the ingredients are local and all the processes are designed to do little damage to the planet as possible. eliminating all the polluting effects of industrial agriculture . is the brainchild of chef henry allen. for the uninitiated, can you explain a little bit about what ultima is and why, why you've set up? it's all started when me and my colleague tom, me. we were taking the bins out and we were thinking like, how can i mean we make this much waste? how could we do with a things better for the environment for the customer? and that is our biggest ambition. one way to do that is by going hyper local. in other words, by growing ingredients right here in the restaurant, i've seen a farm before, but never in a restaurant. i have to say this is great. the main thing about the system, it's

a hydroponic water circulates from up here. the plant fakes always the water all from the roots. okay? it's a 95 percent less water than their conventional forming. the best thing for me in this idea is that are, we can cut the fresh herbs just before the service of every day. there is minimum waste or no terrorist it, it's very swiss and from the seat to fully grown in the system one week. totally organic or no 1st decides, now fertilizers, nothing. ultima is based on the principles of circular economics where waste is seen as a resource. this approach minimizes the need for transport, water and energy, and the even farmed livestock on site, edible, carbon neutral crickets. hello, and the lights, yes. you know, are they, i guess in the light will to my serve up over 1000 crickets each week in there,

5 star dishes with cricket larvae growing into fully grown adults within 2 months. this is the bigger home. oh, hello. yes, crickets. so can you give us a sense of how these little craters fit into this notion of a circular economy? we can use all the stems of the sellers or the pills of a cucumber if we are feed them one week with basal lives where they will test more . what basil now and that where we don't have to throw anything away because they eat almost anything who henry's mission is fundamentally about changing our attitude to the food that we eat and preparing us for a future where it meets like beef may not be so readily available 100 gram, offer crickets are 22 grams of pure protein. take 99 percent less water and growing a beef. ah,

so their carbon footprint is it's like nothing. henry's also trialing a protein rich i'll gain the idea is a so innovative, they're being seen as the future of food production on this world and beyond. this is cost of this is also the one thing that nasa is interested about. nasa, the space agency. yeah. well it's, it's a potato, some space and potatoes. yeah. it's called air upon it. so if the growth in the air hello. yeah. now that is something you don't see every day. is it? it is wet. yes, it is in the air, but it is still kept moist. yes. but this where you don't really need. and he saw the benefits about this is it can produce 10 times more potatoes than a traditional way. so this is, this is for real for you guys, this is not just a kind of a marketing stuff. we don't have to be millionaires we, we just need to,

you know, rove things forward. make people think we're talking about, you know, for security to certification, climate change, big issues, they really care about the stuff and i'm on board and i really had seen footway later on henry's invitation, i'll be cooking dinner here. but 1st i travel just one hour down the road to see if these principles of circular economics can work on a much larger industrial scale. it's always a way, but so let's take the scooters. griffith, farm and on. here is exactly now. all right, do you need a license for the is there breaks here at robbie's farm, actor turned farmer robert. judas also has a vertical farm, but this one is on another level. oh man. oh, oh. lisa jacket, the different season inside is a 3rd like a herbs safari,

where we go means vassal again, some coriander i respected you to have a kind of a glass as well. so this is entirely electric ellie de la, if no, no sunlight used to tow the console the wire men create a more efficient growth, and a much higher yield is a much waste from an operation like this. we grow in a, in a biodegradable pot. so we have no plastics inside the, the growth area anymore. everything is biodegradable. robert's goal is to prove that these hypoth sustainable techniques could one day be rolled out in every city and town in the world. transporting this leaves sunday's feet and this fought around the world, is not that clever. it should always be produced locally and consumed broke locally . well, i love that rather than taking the food to the plate, you're taking a farm to, to the, to the clot,

close to display of your i'm figure you can see that they're constantly working on improving the efficiency of the whole operation. even this isn't truly waste because it's going to get composted and used on the farm that site there. reconfirm socializing the concept, the waste of my way back to ultima. henry's asked me to pick up some supplies for tonight's dinner service 1st. and i wonder if i've come to the right place. i, i, are you doing what you do now? here? we're growing mushrooms. we're growing oyster mushrooms on coffee, west finish. people are crazy about mushrooms and they drink a lot of coffee and absolute joy back that that is an absolute perfect space. these are, these are ready to harvest. there will be harvested today. actually, we don't want to hold you up. we'd love to give you a hand, christine collect, use coffee, groans from businesses right across helsinki. the grounds provide all the nutrients, mushrooms need to explode into light. oh, my fall or that i,

that is amazing. and you can just grab the whole cluster and, and twist it until it comes off. like there you go. that synopsis eating it. we have um the consumer product are we call it the hell. see any grow kit and best basically you see is the same as we have in our farm, but this is so that people can grow it at home. if you're a normal coffee drinker, you can, you cannot make do as your own coffee grounds. i can imagine being quite magical to watch these incredible kind of creatures emerging. yeah. here in finland, there's now quite active community of, of home growers. encouraging consumers to grow food at home is the kind of strategy that will reduce our dependence on industrial agriculture. chris's team of sold $3000.00 of their kits and even run workshops to teach people how to grow fantastic

funding. all right, so we've done a harvesting. we've got our mushrooms back the restaurant going to cook them up. so was to her, ready to go. i ready for group. i think the cricket oh my god, what have you done? we've got this salad, greens, and herbs which are going over there. yeah. we got the crickets which grown up there. and mushrooms, which about half hour away. yeah, i thought i'm 30 local. it's about lucas. i can get, you know. i mean, i'm fisher, one of these little guys. yeah. i can take the prickly little legs. if i tell you what, i think it's super se tickets to really nice protein. the credit. yeah, yeah, where this like you say, well mike, here so much is this alicia,

that you can use it. these ideas can go mainstream is what they want. whether it's, you know, the circular economy or the high for local production, or just kind of general transpiring, fee of the operation could start to see a globalized position that is in the world and reducing that environmental impact. and absolutely the world's going to mon, for food is pressing ever increasing pressure on natural resources. the waste campaign is believe our environments may be close to breaking points. food is the single biggest impact that humans is assigning a few analyses here where you are secretary of state, anthony lincoln is holding a press conference for the says green cans. park park jen with a st. your home and left with a set of discussion on issues that matter to the american people and the people around the world. and we've been engaging for some time with our counterparts and beginning to prepare for these meetings. yesterday the department of defense

announced that we had detected and were tracking a high altitude surveillance balloon that remains over the continental united states. we continue to track and monitor the balloon closely. we're confident this is a chinese surveillance balloon. once we detected the balloon, the u. s government acted immediately to protect against the collection of sensitive information we communicated with the p r. c. government directly through multiple channels about this issue. members of my team consulted with our partners and other agencies and in congress. we also engaged our close allies and partners to inform them of the presence of the surveillance balloon and art aerospace. we concluded that conditions were not conducive for a constructive visit at this time. and mike holiday with director wong e. i made clear that the presence of this surveillance balloon in u. s. aerospace is a clear violation of u. s. sovereignty and international law that it's an irresponsible act,

and that the p r c's decision to take this action on the eve. my plan visit is detrimental to the subset of discussions that we were prepared to have. i told the director wong that the united states remains committed to diplomatic engagement with china, and that i plan to visit beijing when conditions allow. in the meantime, the united states will continue to maintain open lines of communication with china, including to address this ongoing incident. indeed, that's why we need direct and regular communications in the 1st place. and that's why it's critical that such lines remain open at all times. to help avoid miscalculation and conflict. one final but important note the world expects the united states in china to manage our relationship responsibly . and indeed addressing many of today's global challenges, challenges that affect the lives of our people and people around the world. demands that we find a way to work together as well. the united states will continue to act in

a way that reflects that responsibility. we looked to our p r c counterparts to do the same. now the foreign minister and i just signed an important agreement that will guide our country's cooperation on science and technology in the years ahead. the ribbon builds on one that we signed in 1992, which help foster 3 decades of consequential collaboration or universities who conducted joint research on cancer and climate change. our governments have worked together to reduce air pollution from research and development on semiconductors, which power, modern technologies, cars to smartphones. our businesses have partnered on life savings, vaccines, and treatments. like the collaboration between the u. s. pharmaceutical company, medina, and south korean biotechnology company, samsung biologics, to manufacturer, and a safe and effective colored vaccine for the region. today's arrangement, today's agreement will expand the scope of that cooperation both in areas that

we've longed or worked together on, likes, face, but also in emerging feels like biotechnology. quantum artificial intelligence, scientific cooperation is just one of many areas where our nations are working together to the benefit of our populations. another is our shared security and area where we were having during ties. as our troops continued to train and conduct joint exercises, side by side, as president biden said, our alliance is the lynchpin apiece, stability and prosperity in the region. and as boys to grow stronger still with the launch of the republic of korea, new endo pacific strategy. this past december, which reflects our own shared interests and shared approaches to the regions most pressing challenges of to day, we reaffirmed our commitment to improving our allied defense against common threats . as well as our commitment to defending the republic of korea using the full range of u. s. capabilities including nuclear, conventional and missile defense capabilities. earlier this week sector defense austin met with president yoon as well as defense minister lee in sol to boost our

deterrence planning, including through even deeper information sharing on north korea, nuclear threats. we remain committed to the complete de nuclear zation of the korean peninsula. the foreign minister and i also discussed the importance of maintaining peace and stability in the taiwan strait. we're increasing our trilateral security cooperation with japan, which pushes on stronger footing to address shared security threats, including the dpr case, unlawful and reckless missile launches. we held a series of joint ballistic missile defense and anti submarine warfare exercises this past fall. but we're also deepening our trilateral collaboration on other security challenges, as well as on helping pacific alan countries adapt to the growing impacts of climate change. we're working with other countries to advanced joint priorities like boosting inclusive economic prosperity through the end of the civic and beyond, including through the in a pacific framework for prosperity and the minerals security partnership. of course, our partnership extends well beyond the endo pacific go since president putin

launched his brutal and unprovoked warren ukraine. our countries had stood together, along with other allies and partners to impose unprecedented sanctions. and of course controls designed to deprive russia's war machine of resources, as well as to support the people of ukraine as they defend their country. here to, we're working in concert with broad coalitions. earlier this week, nato secretary general stilton burg traveled to the republic of korea and japan as part of his regular engagement with nato's asia pacific partners, demonstrating the growing synergy between our atlantic and pacific alliances. we applaud to the republic of korea is a $100000000.00 and humanitarian assistance to ukraine. aid that has brought vaccines to children, emergency medical supplies, to families, power generators, to communities, to replace the ones. russia has deliberately bond, as it tries to prob ukrainian civilians of heat, light and water. this october will celebrate the 70th anniversary of the u. s. r o k alliance. at the treaty sunny 70 years ago, south re,

his foreign minister pune remarked that he was sure and i quote, this written bond, a solidarity would bring joy and encouragement to all friends of freedom, secretary se dallas said that the alliance was in a quote, firmly dedicated to peace for the past 7 decades are alliances indeed sustained peace. and with the progress that we made to day, i'm confident that we've taken another step toward a more secure and prosperous future to the benefit of the people of our countries of the no pacific. and of the world with that gin over to you or thank you tony for your warm remarks and for welcoming back me back to washington. i would also like to thank your support team for arranging today's meeting. this year marks as you sat, the historic 17 anniversary of the r o k u s alliance. and i'm delighted to kick off eo, long commemorations with my good friend,

secretary of lincoln. the r o k u. s. alliance is one of the most durable and successful alliances in history. and it is special not only due to his longevity but because it is a vibrant, adapt hip partnership that consistently rises to the challenges of our times and president noon. and president biden met his whole in may last year and declared that we would develop an upgraded global comprehensive strategic alliance. and we will expand the scope of the alliance to income past not only political, military, economic partnership, but also technological and cultural dimensions. alliance for the future, the seventy's and diversity slogan aptly encapsulates this afford looking spirit, and an elias in action to day secretary blinkin. and i had

a productive and comprehensive discussion on a wide range of topics. first and foremost, we discussed ways to build on the agreements reached by our 2 leaders last here to lay out a blueprint for the next 70 years. in particular, we agreed to focus on issues that benefit our businesses and reassure entering, reach the lives of our citizen in tangible ways from extended deterrence to supply chain stability. to cutting edge technologies and space cooperation. our 2 governments will continue to enhance strategic communication at all levels across these critical areas. secretary blinking and i also reaffirmed our unwavering determination today, nuclear eyes, north korea. this is at the forefront and center of our joint efforts to establish

sustainable peace on the korean peninsula. while while we're listening there to park jen and his contribution to the press conference last spring in ross jordan, who's in washington d. c. for as was we've been listening to this press conference, just bring us up to date with what was said around this surveillance berlin. well, what we heard from the u. s. secretary of state antony blank and was an explanation to the reporters in the ben franklin room as well as to the public watching those press conference world wide. why he is not traveling to bay jane this coming weekend at the request of the u. s. president joe biden, it's a because the biden administration has taken the position that the deployment of what it considers to be a chinese surveillance on aircraft is

a violation of usaa air space, a violation of u. s. sovereignty. and thus it would be inappropriate for the usaa to send its top diplomat to beijing at that time. what tub lincoln told of those watching was that he had a conversation with his chinese counterpart, won ye on friday morning, explaining why he was a postponing the trip. and definitely officials have briefed reporters throughout the day. not just here at the stake department, but also at the white house, indicating that this is a situation where the usaa does not believe that the agenda that had been anticipated for discussion could be adequately addressed. that things would become very narrowly focused because of the appearance of this surveillance on aircraft in u. s. airspace. and so while on blinking stresses the need for the united states and for china to continue to engage on matters such as dealing with the cova

pandemic. such as dealing with global warming, dealing with economic concerns. this is a national security issue, one that is taking on a political dynamic here in washington. and so the decision had been made that tub lincoln would not make this trip, but that it will be made at some point when conditions are appropriate. and that's the word that state department officials are using. and ross, just very briefly, and we are being can, they are mentioned open lines of communication. you mentioned that yourself, but in reality it was already a bit of a tourist relationship. what's it going to mean going forward, especially with the american public. and i watching even more closely well, already there is a, some mo, concern of being raised, particularly in parts of the american mid west whereof apparently the sub blimp or ra aircraft has been spotted. i'd been

a reportedly spotted over the city of kansas city in missouri, which is a bit bordering the state of kansas. and there are questions already from officials, not just in that state, but also from officials in montana where this a craft was. first, i did publicly identified by the pentagon about child big biden administration needing to keep them in the loop on what they consider to be a security matter as jordan. they're joining us and we will talk to vowels. lisa ross, thank you so much. we'll be back in just a 2nd with much more on this poking story, we will see you in a possess ah with

hello, it's spit a tale of 2 seasons for parts of eastern australia recently we've had some, some heat and humidity just around that southeast corner of queensland, north east and parts of new south wales as well. but we've had some wintry weather into the southeast over the australian outs could see of this area of low pressure which is draws some very cold air in across victoria. towards the far south of new south wales. that'll all make its way further. he switch over the next couple of days. and yes, you guessed this, making his way to was new zealand. so some cooler wessa, whether they're on sas, stay for victoria. se, and parts of burn you southwell, some shower still in the forecast ra, a cassette east side of queensland, top end as well, seeing some where to where the but that all makes its way a little further research as we go on through sunday, really heavy rain coming to that western side of the south island of new zealand

could see maybe 200, possibly as much as 300 millimeters of rain over the range is here. it wills tend to fizzle, but it'll make its way further. north was flood affected parts of northern parts of museum, could see further rain that make a wetsuit next week, but nothing like as wet as he has been. recently. meanwhile, for japan, still a few snow flurries in the forecastle western areas of honju. but clearing it way for sunday, ah, we understand the differences and similarities of cultures across the world and we'll take it. we'll bring the news and current affairs that matter to you. ah ah.
