down perceptions that we can to help it. because this is an unusual situation. we need to deal with the situation with extraordinary determination. now, 10000 scientists have gathered at the world's largest form for the venture research in the netherlands. the latest advances in combining brain disorder, taking center stage in amsterdam, treatments and diagnosis. 2 of the key topics of discussion foster pharmaceutical companies repeating the results of a new drunk law scanned it 300 year old. memorize have been demolished in the rock southern city of basra to allow roads to expand this. local people say the destruction of the strong human the rest and its most is in the roshan of the rocks . heritage, antiquities officials say they did not permit the demolition from the minaret should have been preserved. does he a headline stay tuned? counting the cost is coming up next. the

latest news as it breaks on one side, the authority is our payment for tom. on the other side, now it's from late at the monday justice with detailed coverage. the work has resulted in the closure of many hospitals. and that puts a lot of pressure on the medical staff here from around the world. the operation in jeanine would last no more than 48 hours, the consequences. the impact of what has happened here. the last for years or the hello, i'm sammy say 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 chief. 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 type and look at how the only rich nation is $5.00 of solvents, electricity crisis, many 30 percent of the world's population was moderately all 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 size levels of hunger worldwide did not worse than between 20212022. however, it is still on the rise, particularly in west and asia, the car of 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 or conflicts 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, or 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. and nearly bankrupt, state can't provide services and the poor can't afford to buy walter and the on the menu. 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 beloved and their salary is not enough to feed his 6 children. most days he just springs home bread. it's estimated that it costs $30.00 a month for a person to eat and loving on. the lad earns $40.00 a month. 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 $1.00 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 on conflict is doing the same thing in democratic republic of congo. sorta. how used to be a farmer, she fled her home and kitchen, 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. but the life is very different to us 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 knob, oakley, for accounting, the cost. joining us from rome now is david leveled. he's director of agra, food economics division that the food and agricultural 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? all right, so we just have a stuck in the right. we go from there. so the program you've got since 2019 we were on the rise, the trend. so the good news is that the spring desktops, so we have 30 lives, 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 see, we are 37 and 745 indians paper 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 90 crises. so economies are growing again the most about of the well, so, i mean, that's how so the republican job in thing called unfortunately they are the same time we are the rising cost of living in conflict between the, the 5 the economy is boxing. business is what is driving this change? could we see the honda levels then actually stopped to decline going forward? yes, i mean that's what we should have already seen actually this year. i mean 2022. i forgot 50. that's my total lives. you to a number of shots including rising for the uh, prices and the prices. so when we are going to remove some of the shop things sure, we cover, but anyway, if, but the good news, uh no more. well, you bring uh,

what does any better way there. we are no contract to achieve the is did you choose for the bring goals and annual product? sure. and we see that by 2013 without even frustrating new prices. we would still have $600.00 media in currently printing credit under. so no money, that's the case certainly is going to improve the nothing else to achieve the 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 pushed uh, hunger levels, not even a step that ends. we're still not on track what needs to be done to get us on track . we need to main springs on one and we need to make more arguments, which is the more resilient because unfortunately, the trucks are going to continue to happen and bought the exact same at shop. and you know, we have been in 3 years on the role of lending. yeah. and the show we ever menu. so

we really need to make this is there more? is it in by investing it in technology, in foster care of the notes. and at the same time, 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 have seen 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 to start pretty see. because let me grow very, very rare, different up and get everywhere caught every one, but it's mean being through the we've done so it's gotten pretty fees 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 at the right because actually i would say for 2023 we have 2 friends on

the bottom for 233. 1, is that amino and your there is a depth crosses. we have no more than 70 low. i mean, dining from palm tree. that's phase how you develop depth. and as i've said, you know, the to make this has been more intrusive and more reason. yes. you are going to invest, you are 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 this capacity 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 deluxe, the brand new and you said to me like 0. what was the result time to talk to ukraine young from last week's fault punks who married the world to to get greens. and if we don't see these, the renewal device, we bring to reduce the supply. so we're going to see some infection on the prices, of course, your brand new, not the on the printer so, so we, we still not, i just was a need for about teacher note at various brain around, so we don't expect prices to sky rotate like last year, but students bring to bridges or supply in the system that is can we come and expose to price it? we still don't know how by the new it's going to be a pretty 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'd be for us, i can try to put on shorter and we've continued to continue to see the water in the future. then the longer the last,

the less the footprint can next bought is going so meaning that the last almost can make money in ukraine because that's the best. and unfortunately, if any of the last west stopping today, we think, i think we've always always picked more than 5 zeros. are you printing 5 minutes to recover? so yes, let's keep the markets open. let's going through and find those thumbing. 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 is in the last year we have seen this. i sing of the situation in no freak out in stuff sign africa in the me there is. so we already have this on the spot where unfortunately we have a combination of conflicts. it's really going to be pick over in some case, the impact of a low price is going by myself. so that's going to continue. we know that the bone of africa, you see very weak, you is 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 mean you just bring my bonus on front of america, where we have a number of in the countries in how so it can also be exposed to the show. so a lot of countries that are pretty good for 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. we go. all right, thanks so much david of all 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, but 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 an unusual press conference. at this point a i taking questions from the media to make one reporter asked if jobs will be displaced. i will be working alongside humans 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 jace bt. 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 bought. 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 uh, the piano today, i would check the petite. so when facebook learn more about the model was advisedly related to the public in

a few software engineers were managed to tweak it and improve it just with, you know, a few $100.00 and types of financial resources such and such and applications. it can be virus cheap, applications, obviously to pass. i 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're 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 and manufacturing new warehouses as well order picking, used to be a key, bought the leg, which meant that the amazon 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 increase as the model for labor, right? so you can generate the profit some very different way. so unfortunately, what we see 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 milwaukee has been automated, has led to low wages and, and pressure. and particularly low and middle it 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 capacity to 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 that go to add a ton of in terms of capital gains in terms of profits and owners of capital will, will, will again just pull some of their 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 for the ultimate thing. things that we're going 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, ai 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 battery is 10, right? it's a bit like what the blue brad onto taxes are right with the best 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 skill set in the body with a taxi, the loan of the southern jump into the car and become a taxi driver. and the students sort of similar things to concentration if you're not the kind of good a ton of the advisor, but we chatted the t, 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 those percent brad professions. it also means more

competition, investor and potentially lower wages for the people in those kind of jobs. but you reduces 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 generated by an ai system be more costly, more damaging, more difficult to fix? i can 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 the funds then perform in times of great on faculty . because we know for itself, both of a i systems don't perform very well in domains where there are lots of rare events . right? so think of a ton of his cars, for example. 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 driver can encounter and it

as if the traffic is almost impossible to predict them with, you know, human, very large datasets, right? and if you have a lot of you know, tail events then a, 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 of a silly in the rear as circumstances. in addition, i think you mentioned the pond, dump misinformation, or i'll try to tell lucy nation and you know, we know that sad to put 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 a human in the loop and do 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 called sidney rock, making life increasingly uncomfortable. a summit temperatures sol neglected

infrastructure was weston sanctions. and corruption of all cold outages for decades for the nation is taking several steps to tackle the problem. the wrong cosigned 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 link 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. i got the law head reports from bank that the sum of time in a rock and scorching temperatures. a couple of the with frequent power cups, the eastern suburbs above that, among the hardest hit, the state grid, 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 stood 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 look of generators, lake. these have become a profitable business venture. you can see the wire is dangling in a streets and criss crossing alleys all over the country. posing a safety threat to residents before the 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 m pier adding more burden on consumers? iraq relies on gas for on the line to fuel the power stations which supply the national grid 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 looking 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 earring and 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 they 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 of copy expects they'll have to provide many 40 percent of new global energy output by 2029. europe in countries, increasingly tons of costs here 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. remember, you can get in touch with us by its way to use the hash tag aging cdc when you do or 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 page, which has individual reports, links and the entire episodes for you to catch up on as it for this edition of counting the cost, i'm sammy's. i then on the whole team here, thanks for joining us. the news and i'll just say era is next. the cloud where freedom is or was, was supposed to and told stories from across asia and the pacific. 101 east. all. now to see stories of determination, enjoying it from modeling. all these in your to for cheating is on. this of was not for me to come in. if you and wanda media amazon, what that as

a living. they've got it opened up your business and inquiry to imitate, shoot documentary from an african filmmakers, africa direct on algebra. the in russia holds the black sea grain deal view and close the move. a blow to people in need. the sammy's a, them, this is i'll just say we're a live from dell hall. so coming up, president, booting says the bridge, connecting crime in russia has been seriously damaged and the nerve and always attack the hate. the way.
