annually. over the next 3 years. he earns court that joins us now. he earns more single games, you can play for free. so where does take to see the money in the steel? yes or no. i have not played farmville myself, but usually with those games, when you pay with real money, you actually get some extra award. some extra energy or some extra items. so that's one area where it makes money and then especially it's also advertising, for example, when a user so player. so watch those at some fully. they also get some extra in game reward. so those are some areas where it's actually making money, but clearly $12700000000.00. that is a lot of money. while i heard that farmville is actually quite addictive,

but don't take my word for it. what this is acquisition tell us about where the video game gaming industry is at the moment in yeah, i mean specially those schemes for mobile devices for as much for for incense that's the fastest growing part of the video game industry. and we've seen a dozen soften acquisitions in that area in the past couple of years, especially those traditional video game producers. they keep buying those of smaller companies that specialize them in mobile games. but clearly that's not necessarily always the winner. if you look at dig up, for example, even with this acquisition, the stock is still trading below $10.00 to share and what is $10.00 a share? that was the ip price almost 10 years ago. the thing itself has done a lot of resistance in the past couple of years of pricey and acquisitions and

shareholders. obviously, we're not always fully convinced, but overall there is definitely the trend and that there is a real spree of acquisitions in that area of that last year. and that trend is obviously going to continue. and as far as i've seen, so the take to everything go at acquisitions is the biggest in that industry so far and the stock of the got by the way, it was up by a good 40 percent of the stock off take to was down by about 14 percent, so that also shows you that and the rest are seem to be a bit skeptical in respect to that price tech. thank you. young cards are not our resident game or but our resident wall street correspondent, thank you very much. hurricanes floods and wild fires 2021 brought more than its share of natural disasters and as well as claiming around 10000 lives, they also took a major financial toll. german re ensure munich raised as it was one of the most

we go to a farmer's market where we meet alexandra us. he started a group called hoover me to prevent boxes of fresh vegetables from ending up and the garbage here. missing, do not. we have to be there right when the stolen clothes in that way we can ask the sellers, do you have something you've given? is there anything left over? if there's something you won't be able to sell in the next few days, a call from getting the nice and toggle, they quickly find what they're looking for. one of the stands was already closed and left unsold vegetables behind a lot of food is wasted in supermarkets too. there are 2 shopping carts full at the back of this store. none of it has passed its sell by date on them, but customers don't want to buy things like dental cans and other damage packaging can all get on the water by done it takes a lot of time to throw away the food, then comma got the car and it's also mad for the environment. the government has

made it more expensive for supermarkets to toss groceries in the trash. it aims to create an incentive to reduce waste, but it still faces resistance. albert said, well, we have a lot of work to do to convince every single greek, but it really makes sense not to throw away any foolish, vexes. ah, that's because there is something of a tradition of wasting food in greece. when you entertain guests, you show how generous you are. people here say an empty plate means you didn't get enough to eat and that the host was stingy. this is one of the reasons why a lot of good food ends up in the garbage and not here where it is so urgently needed. now you may have started putting away your holiday decorations, but in one low income neighbourhood, into one on mexico, people are just getting it to the christmas spirit. children and their families line up to receive toys and other gifts over the weekend. a collaboration of mexican and american charities worked together to give out food, blankets,
