resignation of prime minister roger pack. so last week was not enough to quell the protests. his brother remains president despite being mired in corruption allegations appointed last week. the new p. m is now attempting to calm a furious nation, announcing measures to stop a total economic collapse. but those came with a dire warning. yes, they were. what we did, he might at the the next couple of months will be the most difficult ones of our lives. we must prepare ourselves to make some sacrifices and faced the challenges of this period. kappa. we may, mona dear, you b. many. sure. lincolns are already making difficult sacrifices. we don't. how will we manage without fueling all the vehicles here? we don't have any work. now, this is our only job these days. there's nothing else to do. reforms are on the way, but it could take more than an improvement in food and fuel supplies. i could even take the departure of the president to satisfy for lincoln's calling for change. oh well on that we've been speaking to pat yourself. a sarab on

a mood to from the center for policy alternatives in colombo, he put the blame squarely on the current government. well, i think it's because of the incompetence in capacity. if got them on the part of the raj blocks of regina, they used up all our foreign exchange reserves in terms of paying credits as an international bond holders. and as a consequence, we didn't do any foreign exchange to get the bare essentials in terms of food food . moving on now, joe biden has announced new measures to reduce shortages of baby formula in the united states. u. s. president says his administration is in talks with major manufacturers, including nestle and adverbs to identify bottlenecks in the supply chain. nestle is even announced. it's using, afraid to get shipments in quickly from europe. like to say the u. s. still has 80 percent of its use or stocks of formula, but panic buying has led to images of empty shelves spreading on social media.

let's get more on this from financial correspondence in new york. teddy austro teddy. how's the us ended up in the fish situation and why this is a specific of baby formula? rob, we're looking at a serious crisis for american families across the country. families are panicked and they're not able to feed their children. you can't just replace baby formula with cow's milk as for the reasons. well, number one is the supply chain. we're seeing disruptions in the supply chain, like in other industries across america and around the world. number 2 is we saw a very significant shut down of a production facility from abbott laboratories which came from investigations into whether or not bacteria from the facility had caused for babies to be very ill . 2 of them had actually died. so that was a major hit to production. and lastly,

connecting these 2 is what some people are calling big bottle market concentration for companies control 89 percent of the market. abbott controls 40 percent of the market. so if any one of these companies take a hit, we're going to see shortages, we're not going to see baby formula on the market. and that is what we're seeing with this crisis that is hitting american families across the country. and the white house is play taking this very seriously refers and multiple times every past few weeks on this very issue. what's being done to the result of a shortage? well, the biden administration is taking 2 approaches. first. the 1st is to restart the production at this facility that we were talking about. they just broker to deal between the f d a and abbot. and we actually saw bumping out of stock here at the stock exchange because of it. the 2nd action is that the f d a is loosening,

some of its regulation, sell alpha baby formula imports from overseas. so hopefully the next several weeks we'll be able to see baby formula back on the shelves and relieve this crisis. but we have to remember that the biden administration had made campaign promises to fight some of this market concentration we, we've been talking about. so there are reforms that play such that da, to allow competitors to come into different markets and to stop the protections for some of the incumbents. we can talk about logistical issues that come with market concentration. but yeah, that is the big policy issue. and we have yet to see what the, by the ministration is going to do about that. okay, teddy oster the new york stock exchange for us. thank you. now let's take a look at some of the other global business stories making the news. wal mart has reported a drop in profits of 25 percent in the last quarter. the world's biggest supermarket chains as the rising cost of fuel and labor in the u. s. significantly added to it
