a few hours off to the past, sealed a parade, as i said on the shoals and he's a movement of palm, a movement of a national unit, say at least that's how the person micro would like to present isn't certainly a great toner for the indian environment and stuff. the your headlines on alpha 0, this our belly. ruth says it has reached an agreement with russia's wagner group to train its troops. it provided no further details, but some of its soldiers already being trained by fighters from the mercenary group . a camp has been set up near the capital minutes following the wagner mutiny in russia last month. millions of people in the southern united states are seeking refuge from extreme heat states from california to florida. a forecast to reach up to 50 degrees celsius this weekend, where the 90000000 people live in the areas that are at risk. the dangerous heat is also building across europe. some parts of southern europe are registering

temperatures over $45.00 degrees celsius. many people are being advised to stay at home. heavy monsoon rains have led to flooding in several areas in new delhi water levels in the yamuna river that flows through the city or at their highest and 45 years. hundreds of people have been evacuated after the river breached it's banks. the palestinians, protesting against the expansion of settlements, have been attacked by these really military villages. and on this i saw your several models say that soldiers be dozens of demonstrators and use tear gas and stun grenades to disperse them. the film and television industry in the us has been thrown into crisis and its biggest shut down for over 60 years. around a 160000 performers stopped work friday morning in los angeles, several stores less to premier in london. once the strength was declared, the actors union is demanding more royalties from screening services. those are headlines on l 0. stay tuned up next counting the cost. hales as

a way to smoke is to quit the habits they thing is booming across southeast asia to help expedite it contains it dictates toxic chemicals. 101 east investigates on l. g 0. the hello i'm signing these. i them, this is kathy, the cost analysis era to look at the world of business and economics this week. not enough food for everyone. view and says hunger is still on the rise in many parts of the world. some progress as being the cheese. also this week is expected to revolutionize businesses and it's very expensive. so all the benefits plus the upfront costs plus keeping the lives on a rock. take

a look at how the only rich nation is 5, the solve it to like tricity crisis. many 30 percent of the world's population was moderately or severely food and secure. last year. that means 2600000000 people did not have access to nutritious, safe and sufficient food all year round. millions of those went hungry as, according to a new reports by the united nations in w h o. well, the u. n. is previously warned of an unprecedented global food crisis in 2022 and caution this year could be even worse. but some progress has been reported. the report says levels of hunger worldwide did not worse than between 20212022. however, it is still on the rise, particularly in western asia. the kyra being an old sub regions of africa. up to

783000000 people went hungry in 2022. that still higher than before the cove at 19 pandemic. you and remains nowhere near meeting it 0 hunger target by 2030, a conflict remains the biggest driver of food shortages, climate change, trade disruptions, and soaring food costs. play the major role to price is reached an old time peak in march 2022. off the rush are invited ukraine and they've since eased. now we take a look at how people in lebanon and democratic republic of congo, a coping with hunger, the not box that reports. the image family shows us a glimpse of what life is now like for many lebanese, the basics, including food, are no longer affordable. nearly bankrupt state can't provide services and the poor can't afford to buy walter, me on the o and i'm sure there are times when we go to sleep hungry. our situation is very

bad. we sometimes have a lunch, but no dinner or we eat lunch, but not breakfast. we eat once a day be let in and their salary is not enough to feed his 6 children. most days he just brings home bread. it's estimated that it costs $30.00 a month for a person to eat and loving on. the land earns $40.00 a month to everything in the market is expensive and the dollar keeps gaining value against the lire. today i bought them 2 bags of bread. if they want to drink tea with the bread, we don't have sugar, it's very expensive. the world bank says lebanon ranks 1st and food price inflation . nearly one and a half 1000000 lebanese are struggling to put food on the table. that's more than 40 percent of the population. while inflation causes families to go hungry and

loving, a conflict is doing the same thing in democratic republic of congo food or how used to be a farmer. she fled her home and kick you on. go along with her 9 children as fighting intensified between government forces and the m 23 rebels. living in this camp hasn't been easy. a her family are provided with food, but it isn't enough. what the life is very different here since we left village where i used to find my own food to feed my family. but here in the camp we only received 20 kilo's of maze, which needs to last us almost 2 weeks. it's not easy to survive with us. her story is just one among the 6000000 people who have been forced from their homes. the local government is doing what it can to keep these displaced people fed, but it'll take outside help to keep them from going hungry. the novel clay for accounting, the cost. joining us from rome now is david leveled. he's director of agra,

food economics, division that the food and agriculture organization good to have you with us. so david annual likes his report. you've mentioned despite the challenges, that is some progress is a trend forming here. oh is this just the one off in terms of the progress? right, so we just have a stopped in the right finger. so the program you've got since 2019 we were on the rise the trend. so the good news is that the strain desktops, so we have 30 lies, but we have to be nice. that's a high level. so if you were know me just come by reason that we can say that we have some drawings. but we have the last in the middle of the sea. we are 37 and 745 millions of people in front of the anger. all right, let's start with the good news, then. what's stopped the rise at least in hunger? what stumped us from drowning to use your analogy. it's brand new def i got to be, are recovering from the probably 19 crises. so economies are growing again the most

about of the wall. so, i mean, that's how so the republican job and being called unfortunately they are the same time. we are the rising cost of living in conflict between either 5 the economy is boxing, business is what is driving this change. could we see the hung the levels then actually stopped to decline going forward? yes, i mean that's what we should have already seen. actually, be sure, i mean 2020 to and from that 50, that's my total lives. you to a number of shots, including rising for the prices and the prices. so when we are going to remove some of the shop things, so we cover bus. even, we put somebody to bring you the no more boy you bring a, what does any better? we, there, we have no contract to achieve the is, did you choose for the frame goals and you know, project sure. and we see that by 2030 without even frustrating new prices. we would

still have 600000000 in currently burning credit under. so no money to trace certainly is going to improve the nothing else to achieve their goal. we have that these really mean that i'm getting my nutrition. all right, so what needs to be done done because you're saying that even if we cnn to some of those factors, we just pushed prices have purchased uh, hunger levels, not even a step back. and we're still not on track what needs to be done to get us on track . we need to main things online and we need to make more arguments, which has been more resilient because an unfortunate face trucks are going to continue to happen and bought things out in my truck. and you know, we have been in 3 years on the role of lending. yeah. and the show we have in mino . so we really need to make this is there more is again, by investing it in technology, in foster care, be noted. and at the same thing we need to make the economic growth in the system

marketing cruise. it, you know, to not know whether dying because that's what we see. uh and i would say even last year what we're seeing is that pretty girl reduced in as, yeah. and he lives in america. but increasing, even though we don't use any and africa and what we want this to our friendly see. because let me grow very, very, you're ready for enough and get everywhere caught every one, but it's mean being through the we've done so it's gotten policies and the number of predicting dimension actually to predict either on this. so resilience and inclusive knows what about the level of depth, is that an issue? when it comes to trying to reduce the number of people going hungry? you're off the right because actually i would say for 2023. we have 2 friends on the for 232, you one is an amino and your there is a depth crosses. we have no more than 70 low. i mean, dining bumper you. that phase probably never updates. and as i've stated, you know, the, to make this has been more intrusive and more. is it natural going to invest?

you're going to need to have to break, but he sees an issue. i know, i mean the economy that cannot borrow all, i've already spent 2 nights actually in being in survey from the depths. you cannot do this not coming best man. so instead of making the system always in the hands of the child, we are going to to try to extinguish fios but we find, let's go buy some cheap, and that's what we want to avoid. let's talk a little bit about weight supplies. we know that a grain deal a deal to get ukraine's a grain mount is kind of hanging in the balance. what happens if things don't go smoothly with that? we're going to see it. another sort of grain and we prices uh, i think the, the black sea brand new and you said to me last year, what was the result time code? ukraine. young, foreigners tweaks, fault punks who married the world to, to get a greens. and if we don't see these, the renewal device,

these bring to reduce the supply. so we're going to see some tension on price is of course, your brand new not don't need frontier so, so we, we spent notes. i just was like, by nature about teacher note at various brain around so we don't expect prices to sky rotate like last year. but students bring 2 bridges of supply in the system. that is, can we turn and expose to price here? we still don't know how by the new is going to be activity on crops. and that we say like, but at least in the medium run, we need the crane to recover the grain. these are not home for you. i mean, for us i can try to put on shorter and we continue to continue to see the water in the future. then the longer the war last, the less the footprint can next bought is going. so meaning that the last almost can make money in your brain because that's the best. and unfortunately, if any of the last where stopping today, we think i think we've always always picked pub in 5 years or you print in 5

minutes to recover. so yes, let's keep the markets open. let's going through and find those talking. all right, and as you look, show, we call it the world, hung up. matt, what area is, what parts of the world? why are you the most? in the last year, we have seen this, i sing of the situation in no free trial info sign africa in the media. do so we already have this on the spot where unfortunately we have a combination of conflicts. so we're going to be covering some case, bring box of low prices and try microsoft. so that's going to continue. we. we know that the bone of africa, you see very weak, you interested in a human, remain probably message, but now we also have a conflict and so that, so all of his pop exposed, but doing it then the new girlfriend, i bought a son from america where we have a number of united them countries in how so it can also be exposed to the show. so

a lot of countries that are pretty in the truck because zone can be exposed to that . uh, but the main components uh today uh that we really have to, to support. or we may not freaking. all right, thanks so much. david, the bold, the thank you for having me. it's seen as a game changer that can transform businesses in various sectors. artificial intelligence can reduce costs by up to 50 percent, increase efficiency and improve products. so many firms, that's according to a recent report by mackenzie, what companies are increasingly exploring ways to integrate this in their operations. but implementing is very expensive. many researches, one of its impact on jumps and humanity, sent him on a 100 reports that came out to you and conference on artificial intelligence, journalist for advisor to non usual press conference. i am taking questions from

the media. one reporter asked if jobs will be displaced, i will be working alongside a few minutes to provide assistance and support and will not be replacing any existing jobs. yes, i am sure, but many aren't so sure. well, experts say there are limits to what a i can do. they're getting better all the time. investment bank, goldman sachs, predicts more than 300000000 jobs are going to be disrupted by the revolution. historically, technology is always led to some jobs being displaced. the hope is it will also create new jobs. as many as 60 percent of workers today aren't occupations that didn't exist in 1940, but the revolution is expected to impact white color professions hardest. in the us screen writers have been on strike. well, if their major concerns is that studios will use a i to replace them or use the threat of a i writers to force down pay. obviously

a, i can't do what writers and humans can do, but i don't know that they believe that necessarily. so we need to make it clear, there needs to be a human writer in charge, and we're not trying to be gig workers just revising what does. governments across the world are also concerned. the us is divided a strategic plan on a i underlining the importance of preparing the workforce for the changes to come home for nothing but the true congressman. question the ceo of the company the created just gt. well, most prominent a eyes, one exam, he said ultimately i will create more employment that displaces for of you echoed by the world economic forum. and i believe that there will be far greater jobs on the other side of this. and that the jobs of today will get better for industries. there may also be pain in the short term as companies pay the cost of out of taishan. analysts say google would encourage extra $6000000000.00 and costs by 2024 . respond to have that search grease with 50 word answers from a chat box. but the opportunities are undeniable as impact on productivity is

expected to add trillions to the global economy. the question is, who reap the rewards and who suffers the consequences? since involved and for counting the cost well, joining us from london is called benedict fray. he's the director of future of work at the oxford mountain school at oxford university. good to have you with us. so let's start with costs and how expensive is ally for businesses. depends very much for which type of application we're talking about. so in the new of, of generating they, i would check if a t p. so when facebook learn more about the model was advisedly related to the public in a few software engineers, we managed to tweak it and improve it just with, you know, a few $100.00 and types of financial resources. so in such an applications it can be virus cheap applications, obviously to pass on. we still don't think they have access to the cell so hard to

name, but the software itself is not an expense. so is it for all businesses then? well, it depends very much in which type of work you are engaged in, but it's true, it's a general purpose technology. my slide electricity with test test for the economy as we know it. so you don't have to be i, it is very much what's being discussed this day. but artificial intelligence is going to just ball transportation. it's going to transform logistics is going to transform construct construction, a lot of old industries. and as we know them as well, and it's obviously expands the type of work that can be automated to manufacturing new warehouses as well order picking, used to be a key, bought the leg, which meant that the amazon and had to spend 5 hundreds and thousands of walk as an artificial intelligence is crowded, never commented that sort of butler. now the idea of adopting a i is want to make the system more efficient and create bigger profits, right?

the weather compared the profits into a frantic and both of my things and replace labor and make work has become more productive in existing activities. or you can use a i, for innovation to develop new products, new industries. let's create new jobs and increases the model for labor, right? so you can generate the profit some very different way. so unfortunately, what we're seeing in the past couple of decades is that a lot of the technologies primarily be used for automation that has led to a lower share. our labor share of income as more work has been automated, has led to low wages and, and pressure, and particularly low an amulet and income jobs. but we can use a, a to provide new products and industries and as well, we have very much the opposite effect and i think would be, you know, more profitable in the long run, right? where it's in the deposit that go call though it's expected to add moving forward

fully in dollars to the economy, who's going to be getting the biggest slice of that time. now if you use a i for the nation, most of the games are going to add a ton of in terms of capital gains in terms of profits and owners of capital will, will it will again, just portion of there. and, but if you use a i to develop new products and new industries that the modem you labor, well then those gas will be much more equally shipped. and remember what we've done of the past 200 years, or the ultimate thing, things that we want her to do today is to 100. we will not do much richer as a cost of class on the right. the much reason we much risk choices society, instead we develop new goods products and services that were previously inconceivable. what happens though to work, cuz who are not up skilling, especially in countries that are struggling with all the basic problems so forcibly a, i has the potential to act as an interacting tutor. and in addition to that,

there's some evidence to suggest that it's actually easing barriers to entry, right? it's a bit like what, who brought down to tax the services, right? with the past ecology and the uber app, all of the sudden knowing the name of every street in london or neil was no longer a particularly valuable skin. so anybody with the taxi for the sudden jump into the car and become a tax, the driver is doing sort of similar things to concentration. if you're not the kind of good, the tenants right there, but we just have to put to, you can become an average, right? if you're not the great software engineering coder while it was good, that's code, probably lots you can became coming to average code. so that means that more people will be able to perform this present but professions. it also means more competition, investor and potentially lower wages for the people in those kind of jobs. but you reduce the barriers to entry and it means that you know, as potentially helping people in to new jobs and into new tasks as well. all right

. what about the question of mistakes might mistakes generate to buying a system be more costly, more damaging, more difficult to fix? it is 10 indeed. and i think it's, you know, your present very much goes to the pressing of resilience, right? so jewelry shop like the great recession and the co is my team, but that make, i think, is an open question of how well defined stand perform in times of great on faculty . because we know for examples of a systems don't perform very well in domains where there are lots of rare events, right? so think of the tunnel is cars for itself. we don't have them on the streets yet. the reason for that is that there are so many different situations that the car or drive us can encounter in the city traffic. there's almost impossible to predict them with, you know, even very large datasets, right? and if you have a lot of you know, tail events, then i will struggle with that because it has to drive more towards the average. so

there's a really risk step billy. business does rely more on artificial intelligence, will turn out to be read less resilience on the rear as circumstances. in addition, i think you mentioned the pond, the misinformation or i'll try to lose the nation. and you know, we know that saturated to fabricate sticks. unfortunately, the quick fix is there and what it means that you know, for the foreseeable future, we will have to keep the human in the loop and to fact check thinking as a consequence. so there's still a role for us humans in the future. then good to know thanks so much. call benedict fraser. my passion, a pile of costs, any rock and making life increasingly uncomfortable. a summit temperatures sol neglected. infrastructure was western sanctions and corruption of all cold outages for decades. for the nation has taken several steps to tackle the problem. the rock assigned to a $27000000000.00 deal with francis tile energies to help solve its power shortages

and increased oil production. the project would recover a natural gas from 3 oil fields and use it to generate electricity. it also includes the construction of a sea water treatment plant and the solar power plant. the nation is also linked to its power grid to neighboring countries to help solve the power shortages. the interconnection with jordan and egypt has stopped and supplying it wrong because electricity i live this month. and often while i had reports from baghdad, the sum of time in the rock and scorching temperatures of couples do with frequent power cuts. the eastern suburbs above that, among the hardest hit, the stayed good only supplies electricity for 3 hours out of every 6. 70 of the old academy lives with her family in the small house. most of that household equipment doesn't work anymore. many still in the city. we don't use the fridge anymore

because it was ruined by electricity cuts and our food perished. these days we splash water on ourselves to alleviate the heat, water damage and decades of neglected infrastructure have long cause toll to just blackouts have increased because some facilities have been attacked by the groups. so many iraq is have both generators to hire them out to neighbors with a fraudulent national great local generators, lake. these have become a profitable business venture. you can see the wires dangling in a streets and criss crossing holidays all over the country. posing a safety threat to residents, boot floppy mount operates it privately, own generator tested. i just don't know what, what have you guys recently, we haven't been receiving subsidized fuel to operate generators. does prices have reached $10.00 per and pier adding more burden on consumers?

iraq relies on gas for on the line to fuel the power stations which supply the national agreed that they normally put use around 20000 megawatts of electricity, but need 24000 megawatts the peak summer months to fill the gap. iraq is getting into a connected with other countries that are of applied, remember, look at or the near. the grid connection with jordan starts with 150 megawatts and we'll reach 950 megawatts. this is a double circuit connection to also link a rock with egypt via jordan in the future. it's mean to boost our grid and the waste and region and light to link a rock with grids and the gulf countries and to a key. iraq also needs to pay its bills for uranian gas. iraqi power stations need around 35000000 cubic meters of uranium gas every day. but our 20000000 showed to because the iranians have suspended deliveries, pending payment, which is the last thing you're working electricity. consumers who want to hear as

a says in the baking summer heat for alternative energy sources. because energy minister says this nation is set to assign rec, hold volumes of long term liquefied natural gas contracts. these yeah. signs and copy expects they'll have to provide many 40 percent of new global energy output by 2029. europe in countries increasingly tons of content in the us. maybe for energy supplies off the rush of invited ukraine. the golf nation assigned to the 2nd major gas supply deal with the chinese state control company in june. and that's all shows it this way to remember you can get in touch with us by its way to use the hash tag a cdc when you do. oh, drop us an e mail counseling. the cost of balance is 0. adult net is our address is more for you online. at l d 0. don't. com, slash ctc. that'll take you straight to the homepage, which has individual reports, links, and the entire upsides for you to catch up on. that's it for this edition of counting

the cost. i'm sammy's i that on the whole team here. thanks for joining us. been using, i'll just say era is next. the, the mexican air force heading into that. so with an intimate that's been hitting these lands for the last 3 years, travels the deploy a secret width and they hope literally make it right. it means spring pulse cause of crystalline super lawyer thing into clouds. water droplets that are attracted to those particles in clean around that makes new heavy a drove it's heavy enough to fluids, right?

these rise of was the little water in mexico city. and the hope is that by cloud seating, the water flow into the capitals would increase. the cloud, seating alone is not a silver bullet. so let's coast cities more to choose. the bella rue says, the russian wagner mercenary group has agreed to train bella russian soldiers of to last months brief and using the against the kremlin the i'd 0 venue. it's great to have you with us. this is elza 0 line from the also coming up, millions of americans are facing dangerously high temperatures. a powerful heat.
