a fraction of the pigs value to the burnouts keys six months later they're still not allowed to buy any new pigs. now. from young to retire actually and now we just take inch day as it comes to receive money from our insurance but it was almost nothing. the entire region eastern poland near the village of rudinsky has been under quarantine from months due to african swine fever and does not incite many farmers here had large herds but now the animals are all dead. no one here thinks the industry can ever recover from this blow villagers are even afraid to keep a pig for their own needs something that used to be commonplace here. even keeping only one pig poses a risk it can infect large groups of pigs like three hundred. the african swine

fever is being spread primarily by wild boar which have been infected with the virus the disease is always deadly for the animals there's no medicine to fight the illness the river vistula forms a natural barrier to the spread of the disease but in december of twenty seventeen infected boar were found on the west side of the river now there's a danger that the virus could spread to germany. i saw warning signs but i don't know if they're true i haven't seen any dead animals. the dead boers are just a pretense someone is trying to ruin the polish farmers have been used. before the . younger nazi doesn't believe in such conspiracy theories he's hoping that by the spring his lucrative pig business will be back on track. facebook has announced a major overhaul to its new scene that will prioritize posts by friends and family

over unpaid posts by companies and media and assistance the site hopes to stop businesses from quote crowding out for arsenal moments for its uses facebook says companies using pages to promote content will likely see a decrease in reach video watch time and referral traffic as a result of facebook c.e.o. mark zuckerberg has said the changes should make people spend less time on facebook but that the time spent will be more valuable the company is responding to a growing tide of criticism about its role in society. well facebook has changed its algorithms before and i did you use options but what makes the latest announcement so different to find out i'm not joined by stephen beard from a social media desk stephen is this just another algorithm change get her to think it goes a bit more beyond user option and goes to something more fundamental about the ranking system itself so that means that friends and families are going to go

higher and posts that are from organizations businesses media outlets like which of all they're going to go below so that picture from your mother with you know your cats on it her cats on it once people start reacting with that once they start liking it once or hardy it once they say how is mugsy doing then that's going to shoot up to the top you're going to see that more often but is this. the behavior of a monopolist is it an abuse of market as some people have said. i think some people would maybe argue that i think obviously a lot of people actually argue a lot of businesses especially media companies would argue that what facebook has done well you can say it's monopolistic or not at a minimum it's maybe a bait and switch they've brought in a bunch of companies by saying this is your platform this is how you reach out we're the only game in town and these media companies and other organizations saw that they really had no other options people weren't going to their websites they were going to facebook so they had to be active on facebook and now facebook in a way of saying you're not going to get the same attention so what options is that

leap does that mean they have to pay now that to pay more about times what does that mean for full media companies and for for other businesses that rely on facebook by now we're not just businesses but think about organizations they've got charities you know organizations that need that outreach but obviously businesses to have l. would be among i don't see this you know we depend on facebook as well as other social networks to reach out and to to form a core audience it's a very important part of our work here we have products that are geared completely towards social media and facebook in particular one of them of course is dress code which you're familiar with as your series on men style that's very popular for us that's one of our biggest products the question now is and what we're starting to look at is what happens a dress code what happens to the other products we make exclusively for online and for facebook how do we get them to still get the same attention and draw in the audience that we feel that we need for our news so what can we for example keep doing to keep views. that's a good question and i think that's the question that looms large we can't post

pictures of your grandmothers or your mother's cats and get people to really sort of interact in the same way what we can do is hopefully hope that by through their interaction with us if they're going to comment with us if they're going to like if they're going to hard if they're going to really sort of you know go back and forth with us a little bit that it's going to shoot higher up the interaction lots of lights lots of comments means that right the content will still appear on the user's feeds and what works. it is that from the beginning is the wants less passive interaction he wants people he doesn't want to hear that he was going to scroll past so they're going to and interact with your material they should shoot to the top another option of course is that there should be a user setting that allows people to see more options more post from organizations news organizations like what you felt were businesses even is this is a shrewd move zuckerberg just saying he wants to make the world a better place wants to make facebook a better place more for families and all that all the other had forcing companies to spend more money to promote their content i mean should we be surprised this is

this is what this is tech one point zero right this is what they do this is straight out of the book you you talk about changing the world we want to make a killing doing it and so the language here is very much we have to make the world a better place but how are we still going to make all of our money and so they spoke still has a huge captive audience it's not giving up that captive audience these are numbers have gone down a bit there is reason to you know maybe be a little concerned especially with this conversation that you referenced in terms of is it good for people is social media good for people separate is saying the right things now we want it to be good for people but he still wants that captive audience facebook is developing its own video offerings sort of like netflix it has plans for that audience not all be about make you facebook and the world a better place even with the social media to thank you very much for this insight to visit venezuela now where supermarkets have to be protected by the military against looters and angry mobs of slaughtering cattle in the fields according to

some reports the country is starving but as well as inflation rate has reached a staggering two thousand and six hundred percent according to consolations by the country's parliament which has been disempowered by president nicolas maduro as authoritarian socialist regime price controls have been put in place to curb inflation but they have little effect when shelves are empty. for her sad sight shelves have never been so empty in venezuela and it's getting worse what's the point in the government reducing the price of staple foods are available anyway. not. painful to see the shelves because there isn't anything to eat i've got three things all i could get from my heart hurt because lowering prices is not the way the government should be acting. this seems critical to me because honestly we're going through a very serious crisis right now. i don't know what to do because i can't get any
