12:10 pm
the nearly bankrupt government has promised to support production by providing seeds at the low price in the face, a lot of the challenges to be able to invest in orlando. we are poor, but we need dollars to buy pesticides. that's why the government should support the stuff that she and successive governments left the agricultural sector under funded and under developed for decades. and the breakdown and government services means there is a lack of water for irrigation. the financial meltdown has made the situation of farmers worse. some have stopped their work. high energy costs affect their operations. the international community has stepped in the united nations in n t o as have been helping develop a more sustainable local food system. the need is to increase production and lower the costs. we've have a big challenge all the way down from the farm is the production, the production of wheat all the way down to the people who are consuming gets and
12:11 pm
trying to buy the products as well. fundamentally, in food and security has risen during this time. and we haven't got enough wheat in the country to try to keep the price is most stable so that some of the most vulnerable people can buy the products. the warren ukraine has affected global prices as well as disrupted the supply chain. lebanon wants to end this dependence on imports from that region. but there's a long way to go center. so the else is either a car nor there's nothing on lot fires, increase of force, tens of thousands of people to move to safety. the out of control fires on the island roads. i've been burning near populated areas for 5 days. victoria gave them the reports an emergency evacuation on the greek island of rhodes, which little advanced warning, thousands of holiday makers and residents rushed to escape the out of control while
