7:21 pm
ida james base is in munich and has more of zalinski speech. this address exactly one year on was very important, pretty similar language as we've seen. progressive skin is recent speeches. for example, when he spoke recently in london in paris and brussels messages to the international community to do more making the point. what is lacking here is speed. he keeps asking for things. it started with non lethal assistants with the west. it was giving it moved to heavy weapons then to artillery and now tanks. and now he's calling to fight a jazz with everything. he asked for a long period of delay discussion. and eventually the west gives him what he wants . but he would like to see the delivery of weapons speeded up, much, much more. ukraine will stay the top issue, i think, during this year's munich security conference. but it's not just what discussed here in terms of
7:22 pm

7:24 pm
by supply chain problems, labor shortages and disruptions caused by russia's war in ukraine that's resulted in high food prices unless profits. now, farmers and scientists are exploring ways on how to adapt to the changes. rob reynolds reports from to laurie in california, tens of thousands of farm and none farming families alike visit the eggs bo every year to check out the latest form technology trade information, and line up to chow down on huge gut busting stake sandwiches. farmers are accustomed to changes in weather and markets and prepare for them as best they can says. 3rd generation almond farmer, aubrey bettencourt, author popular farm pod, castor and head of the oma alliance trade organization, that the end of the day, the farmer's ultimate goal, is to provide a safe and healthy and reliable product to the consumer. that's what their goal and
7:25 pm
drive an entire mission and purposes. but some events come with little chance to prepare an event that most farmers could not have anticipated began just about a year ago when russia invaded ukraine. that instantly pushed up the price of fertilizer. russia is the world's largest supplier of nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium fertilizer, with nearly one 3rd of all, world production, ukraine and bellow. roofs are also large scale producers, almost 60 percent or more of the global supplies from that region. instantly the price of that product went up everywhere in the world, and it became the most expensive you're farming anywhere in the united states. farmers of staple grains like we did core and also called maze, are heavily dependent on those fertilizers. and you look at corn and wheat, specifically the 2 categories have been hit the most by the russia, ukraine war. and those are even, you know, it's
7:26 pm
a perfect storm. those are even more important fertilizers, 35 percent of the cash costs of producing those, the result, higher food prices and less profit for farmers. so the farmers sometimes can't pass the costs on to the consumer. they have to eat the cost of that rise in the fertilizer cost, the agriculture industry and it's scientific partners are usually quick to adapt to change, whether it be new consumer demands, new technology or supply challenges. already scientists in california are working on trapping nitrogen for fertilizer, from earth's atmosphere itself. rob reynolds al jazeera to larry california. though one of the world's most ambitious agricultural schemes is in decline. the project in saddam was once considered the country's bread basket and a key source of food for other countries. but it suffered from a lack of molten tools and equipment and also investment. now the government is hoping to turn that around. as hipaa morgan explains from missouri state,
7:27 pm
this tractor is essential for hated and worth farm here. incidence to the speed he says he inherited from his father. and he uses that to dick canals to every gate his crops are till the foil. but he says the machinery is so old, it's not as efficient as it used to be. i did if y'all had a machine, i've had some equipment for 20 years. some has been with me for 25. we actually use equipment that has been said, we can't afford to buy new equipment and if something breaks, we've got in investment in the project that we're footing, hey, there's farm is part of the 0 agricultural project. it's a 2200000 acre agricultural scheme. that's one of the largest of its type in the world. it was established nearly a century ago and was once regarded as the bread basket of sudan crops, like sir, gum cotton and wheat were harvested, not just for local consumption, but also for export. now only about half of the land is being farmed. they,
7:28 pm
i serve to remember that the input for harvests is not always affordable to farmers and the seeds on to always the bashing of the land is there. the water for irrigation is there, but there is need to rehabilitate the facilities of the project. more than a 130000 farmers work on the project that's managed by the government. but farmers say the government hasn't invested enough. most of the machinery around here has been in use for years, farmer se affiliates more than i did, the team has led to a decline in production of property in the country. for example, 75 percent of the country's lead was one harvested here. now most is imported, other crops have also been affected, affecting market prices and reducing the availability of food in the country. the world food program says a 3rd of dance for 3000000 people don't have enough food, partly because they can't afford it. the organisation says investing in agriculture,
7:29 pm
in places like 0 projects will help the country and others. but for dance, political crisis may deter investment. the fertile land that you see behind me projects like this, well, you can not only be sued in, you can help the whole world. and so that's why we're here. we've got to resolve some of the issues, a sudan, so we move forward, bring in private sector investors, investors that will work with small holder farmers, maximize harvest yield production, and we solve food security around the world. hayden says he hopes to see more investment in the project that would help him not only get more than equipment and increase production, but also grow enough crops. so that to 0 project than once again, export food from sudan. he will morgan august 0 to 0 state. the millions of people around the world, of course, covered 19 and recovered. a new study published in the lancet medical journal has looked into how much protection that gives against a 2nd infection. it found that natural immunity reduces the risk of hospitalization
7:30 pm
and death by 80 percent for about 10 months, at least as long lasting as the protection gained from 2 doses of a code of $900.00 vaccine. but the report also found protection gained from an earlier infection may road more quickly when faced with new variance like ami chrome. dr. chris murray is one of the authors of the report. he says it's safer to get the job than to go through the disease. we know that infection does give you some long lasting immunity, but it's a lot safer to get vaccinated because if you haven't had the disease, if you haven't been vaccinated, you're at substantial risk. the 1st time you get infected. so it's, it's an important strategy for people to pursue our study didn't clue be a one, be a 2, but haven't included any evidence because there hasn't been published any evidence yet on x p b. so the studies that are available on oma crohn suggest that.
