effects can be felt well beyond the countries directly in volt. well, in this edition of made will look at how conflict in europe is proving disastrous for african nations. also coming up, petro price pain, how the rising cost of filling up phase hitting the united states. carbon for cars could seo to provide a replacement, the other fuels and trouble at check in a closer look at the output stuffing crisis. but 1st, the ancient egyptians knew the horrors of famine throughout history from the middle ages to now starvation is something that has plagued humanity. conflict is one cause drought or flooding ought to others. in the 1840s, a potato blight caused islands west ever famine, claiming a 1000000 lives that he has later algerian self at the deadly effects of drought. political violence has also been responsible for mass starvation as well. 30000000

people were killed in communist china and the soviet union. meanwhile, germans went hungry during the 1st world war. and following the 2nd as well. today, the nation's most vulnerable to famine are less wealthy countries, particularly in africa. the knock on effect of war means that once again facing disaster as multi audi schmidt reports, the ukraine conflict is making it impossible to ship a badly needed grain to poorer countries. red prices a rising world wide. some countries refused to share their large stockpiles of wheat. yeah, before worried that the number of starving people willing crazy or young cause for a global food crisis, how might not be averted? a bakery in rwanda in east africa. most of the flower here comes from russia and

it's still being delivered. but the bread is badly affordable. so room fund that helps me now. i spend more than 10000 francs awake on bread, where as i used to spend only 5000 francs. so i'll have to reduce my consumption of products like read you a hole. no one knows when it will end, but the food situation is endangering everyone's lives a above poet. dediker tell was that if there could 1000000 of bakeries across the country of fighting for their survival, be imported wheat flour is costing them a lot more, but they can't pass all of the price increase on to their customers. william good to you will console. mom. i've lost almost all of my business because of what's happening. oh, oh, the poor people hardly eat serial products anyway. we are call that the others have stopped buying our products because we've reduced their size and increased price.

that jim, would you also i've had to slash production yet and i would say no show this business is going nowhere issue or with wheat prices have been on the rise for a while. but the war in ukraine has made them sold more and more people are going hungry. it's often fall. it's definitely a question of the size of your wally ivan. and they're a 1800000000 people who live on a great all as a day old, less well than an eob. they faced the smallest price increase by although he away talking about up to 40 percent of hog, then the question is, how much money do they have left to spend on food? yet, there is in fact enough to go around. many grain warehouse is as well stopped, particularly in china, the reserves that would be largely sufficient to make up for the drop in ukrainian grain exports the uns ethan ideas with the chinese be prepared to decrease their grain supplies a bit to take the strain off the global market and we don't know and 0,

they're very dependent on imports of grain and oil seed. that's why having large amounts is very strategically significant to them. and we can't really assume that they would be forthcoming with them. it's easy to for food and, ah, the west could do. it's better to stop a global food crisis. mission did we, how we should dramatically reduce the cultivation of cross to make by hill to or stop eating biofuels die because land is being used for the production of gasoline rather than the very good for now. can look at the moment about 12 percent of arable land in the european union is used to grow crops full by a fuel and the u wants to keep it that way. as in guns vista got a very important lever in the medium to long term is definitely the reduction of

our meet consumption to fly. every kilo of meat that we can so requires several kilos of grain and oil. see to be produced torque too bad. i don't mean that we should ban or vilify the eating of meat and but for instance, rather than eating 60 kilos per capita a year in germany, we could all a very happily from 40 kilos per capita will continue to enjoy, meet and gets by and make a considerable contribution to easing the pressure on global markets and from i know he pollution by trucks. interesting. did it back to last. ultimately, countries light. rwanda will have to help themselves by largely growing their own grain to do that. they need to increase their yields. but some farmers like hyacinth november rang way can hardly afford the fertilizer necessary quote, when it's safe and few farmers including may have been able to find fertilizer to put on their fields. and this means we will not produce a novel. but as you know, the price of fertilizer has risen a lot, and traditional manure is not adequate for our fields. this is an added worry,

todd, how go with us? so i shall clue. the prices for phosphate fertilizes, for instance, have doubled within a year. also due to the war in ukraine, they used to cultivate grain here in the past and bread was cheaply available. that's inconceivable to day ingles or moody missiles raging used to produce a lot of cereal products, particularly wait for that climate change means we can no longer rely on anything. we don't cultivate these crops much any more than not. so people have difficulty finding enough to wait on while there's still some cereal production in other agriculture, but the yields on high enough. we need agricultural experts to help. the long term strategy is to produce flour from domestically grown sweet potatoes. in the short term, developing countries are dependent on billions of dollars in financial aid to stave

off famine. now in every crisis, there are also winners businesses to find profits where others find only hardship. an example when it comes to the war and ukraine is the price of petrol roach remains extraordinarily high despite state health oil companies. such profiteering has resulted in violent public protests in the past in haiti in 2018 and this year in sri lanka. increasingly, there a cause for windfall taxes to readdress, the imbalance between the winners and losers of global disasters. the war in ukraine has generated astronomical prophets for range of companies from oil suppliers to fertilizer producers and arms makers. now countries such as italy want to tap into those excessive revenues. essentially, it's a windfall tax for what you might call war profiteers. the city really it's shown

o visually. it's based on the principle of looking at which companies have seen a substantial increase in profits in recent months. which means 2 or 3 fold up since the crisis began in fog light to a fork reasons, the torture of fair move, say most people in europe according to surveys, but dangerous for companies. say most industry experts, doc, it seems a bit arbitrary, is the windfall tanks justified more even feasible excess profit taxes are not new . britain in the us introduced a similar scheme during the 2nd world war with corporate tax rates reaching 95 percent. the legislation applied to all sectors, the government's limited affective profit margins, to 9 percent. the thinking was that company should not be allowed to take advantage of a crisis situation back then, the concept of excess profits,

taxes enjoyed widespread approval, wouldn't go uneasily, would they lost my basically those models fulfilled their purpose, which is why the idea has now re emerge told me to the current war is clearly a very special situation, so they're deciding to turn to those methods again. oh, excellent. has for 2022. 80 was the 1st country to make the move unveiling plans for an excess profits. tax on oil, multi nationals and other energy companies. they're called windfall taxes because the profits have been handed to companies on a plate through good fortune rather than savvy business strategies. so it's only fair that these bonus profits be subject to additional taxation. right? good. it is a, it's a good idea, generally speaking, no miles under normal conditions, you probably wouldn't do it, but these are not normal times you're flexible. people are really feeling the high inflation rate, which is above all driven by energy prices. and if you want to help out little with

lower income, see that money has to come from somewhere and him. but how does it work? first, you look at the company's profits over the last couple of years. if they've doubled the state steps in and collects up to 50 percent of the excess profit, that's what the proposals usually envisage. with the resulting revenues going to those suffering from a high energy prices. taking the windfall, taxed to its next logical step, would mean vaccine manufacturers also paying up due to their $1000000000.00 profits . from the pandemic crisis. stressed ins cuz it violates the principle of equal treatment sets. profit should be treated the same way across all sectors. on a can. nissan you can say the likes of brian tag who have also made huge profits. are the good guy. hm. you know, so we won't increase their tax burden is diane stacked up, but we will with the bad guys. you bestow on via stacker. and then there's the

fundamental question of who are the good guys and the bad guys who's a companies tend to only take risks when there are big profits to be made. so the windfall tax might inhibit innovation. randazzo jeanine. yes. lucas, if a company has come up with a great new product or some other innovation, thanks to their own entrepreneurial efforts, and then you wouldn't apply any kind of profit tax lo, dakota would've been slayer, and they pay the regular rate. it's highly against the modular egan, italy's windfall tax plants are still in the pipeline for now. and there is a range of issues that still needs to be clarified. not least when does profit qualify as excess profit. now with its long open roads, the usa has always been a drivers paradise. the cheaper fuel state side has also traditionally been a draw diesel was usually around half the price. it was here in germany for example

. and that does continue to be the case. but american drive, as of recently seen that costs shoot up just as much as car owners here and not going effect of the war in ukraine for a nation that's been used, paying much less for its gas. a new reality is taking hold as to hand simon's reports. oh, nothing says l. a better these days then? well, this forget hollywood, beverly hills, movie stars and oscar. los angeles is about traffic jams, about wasting time in your car, which also means wasting precious and very, very expensive gasoline. ah, californians, despite being somewhat used to the effect of paying more for their gallon of gas than anybody else in the country are now in control. whenever and wherever they

began station take it from an expert. there is nothing like high gasoline prices in the united states to just aggravate the, you know, what are the people, there is something about a high gasoline price and you see it on the marquee. and you literally can see visceral reactions. the world out there, rushes war on ukraine, oil market volatility, supply chain issues, supply and demand squeezes. all that is adding to the existing misery of filling up in california for millions of commuters in and around los angeles. escaping the snarling highway traffic is one thing. waiting in long line is at the local discount gas station to save of a few cents per tank is and other, other things in life have to get sacrificing on that means smaller meals or shorter

trips. maybe we even have escaped like a vacation just to make it up for everything. it's hard, so for the price is raina and having family, well, it's pretty hard. not that gray are not sustainable at all. honestly is going to get harder for a lot of people that are find the low income community and everything. it takes right now about $200.00 to fill up my car. it's not going to look good. i got to see the 1970s. i'm when we would line up having to go any one who had an even number would go on a certain day. and everybody who had an odd number would go on a certain day. so i think we're going to actually eventually be there ah, ball affility and chaos in the markets. persistent supply chain problems, even higher oil and gasoline prices. could this trigger a recession even? that's at least what many professional commercial truckers seem to predict for the

near future. take it from joe rosco. watch. he's the communications director for the western states truck association or w estie a. jo is rory trucking has always been referred to as the barometer. the proverbial canary in the mine shaft to the economy of the u. s. and frankly, any other western of democracy, trucking as the canary of trucking starts to feel it the you're gonna see the rest of the economy feel. and right now we have a confluence of a whole lot of different of us fuel prices going to come at a worse time. dos main concern are not the big trucking fleet operators, but the little guys in the logistics and transportation, but this, they can't keep up with rising gasoline and diesel prices in full truck friday is back in grenada hills,

a neighborhood of los angeles operators and customers to do without it throughout the cobra. 19 pandemic. now back, most operators face another blow. you guessed it, gasoline and diesel prices. this big truck, often gas that we raise the price. we look, i run out of bag. i'm not serving bags anymore. just because it's the hard part of them are, but i'm serving you when you get to the list of food, but get the bag sorry. but what you spend on bags goes on the gas, correct? moran, remember, nothing, says l. a better these days than this you're driving to the sunset will cost you dearly now and soon, perhaps even more. mm. but could there be some relish coming down the road and could it come in a very surprising form. this here is my colleague act, my collage

e. he's been following an experts, attempts to find a new fuel for the future, and it's made from a substance seen as a cause of the world's problems, not the solution. hey, have you heard about this? you can fill up with the greenhouse gas, c o 2 and use it to drive or fly for power to ship. crazy fuel made out of thin air. no need to burn fossil fuels any more using something that is c o 2, newton, impossible. asked him. he makes this kind of stuff. hey tim, how does it work? yeah, dean, dean from began hooks, return is a combustion process on its head. we take energy, water and c o 2 and use it to produce synthetic fuel in court. and that way we close the carbon cycle and produce seo neutral fuel. ok?

it works the other way around to really understand it. i think i have to go to, i love thin. please correct me if i'm wrong. you say you take water, it's 2 o an energy, lots of energy in the form of electric power. that electric power splits the water molecule into hydrogen and oxygen. no need for the oxygen. we only need the hydrogen, and here it comes. you combine the greenhouse gas t o 2 with hydrogen, and what's her good is fluid group fuel that recycle c o 2 instead of emitting it done? is it really that isn't good? i just put your synthetic fuel in my car instead canal than the sun. exactly. and

if there were sufficient quantities of gas stations, you could fill up with this too. i know this is a really big opportunity for the seo tool, neutral fuel, because you can use existing infrastructure. we're oh, looks and come okay, got it, synthetic your legs dirty. god, as long as the what process is powered with the energy? well, that's a lot to think about. now, after the pandemic sent the global aviation industry into a tailspin, the world is finally returning to the skies. but all those planes need flight attendance to staff them and that's where there's currently a problem. what's more, the demand for playing staff is that to really take off over the next couple of decades. boeing reckons will need another 340000 flight attendants by 2040 to says the asia pacific region alone lost hundreds of thousands more for europe and north

america. and tens of thousands more for growing aviation markets in latin america and africa. but that's just the staff on board. a major problem right now for folk heading off for this summer getaway is a shortage down here on the ground. apple, it's across europe is struggling to keep the queues of passengers moving the departure loungers that dusseldorf airport passengers at security have to be patient getting through can take more than 4 hours. seems like this have been common in recent weeks. the weights caused hundreds to miss their flights. reasons, all were angry because we're on vacation. we organized everything and came 5 hours early. it's simply a waste of time. we could be doing something else was on the so loading when not powered on flu. my neighbor works at the airport and he said it was because of a lack of security personnel and that she pets. you pay a lot of money,

feel flyer to so it's annoying if you miss it, especially since they laid off security staff or they quit. not during the pandemic conduct almond a cool one aside, $200.00 minimum. the corona virus pandemic brought the airline industry to a standstill worldwide. now people are eager to travel again, but airports have been caught off guard by the surgeon passengers. in the german capital at berlin brandenburg airport. the lines aren't anything compared to dusseldorf or frankfort. but it spokesperson knows why so many airports are experiencing problems like due to the pandemic with a lot of our partner staff ground and security staff are just no longer available for we lost them to other sectors of all we need them again, ultimately, all of them in our busiest periods are by the police staff, have to be recruited, retrained and vetted again. he believed we hadn't been an officer to him up with them. and therein lies the biggest problem. anybody working at the security

screening needs a squeaky clean record. the required background checks take at least 6 weeks, usually even longer. hiring new staff, a real headache with rocketing passenger numbers is no quick fix solution. martin heather is in charge of keeping the luggage belt at berlin's main airport, running for him. the increase in passengers means more problems, like jammed suitcases to go or not. i not known with it during the coven pandemic. we had about 20025000 pieces of luggage a day light. now we have about 20225000 pieces of luggage security. that, of course, also means more work for the ground staff size. and perhaps more stretched to relation was enough for us. a spokesperson for the german aviation association says the chaos that many airports is unfortunate, but little could have been done to prevent it and didn't call one upon him. he had

a poorly corona virus. pandemic has presented the industry with major economic challenges. unfortunate a staff reductions were necessary. at the same time, after 2 years of the pandemic demand, the flight says saw to the girl and the government lifted coven 19 restrictions with little warning. so that wasn't possible to plan properly for the rain on eastern gala bows. i to ream has a different view the asian expert advisors, members of the verde trade union, who work for security at disa dorothy airport. the state is ultimately responsible for this task, but it puts it in the hands of private security companies and we will and of course, they want to earn money and they're not social organization that spot. and how can you cut costs by keeping staff levels low? we have a serious staff shortage in africa, especially in passenger screening. we are all passengers have to pass through security. i'm not enough. people were hired. now you're seeing the results result

in the union say the private companies pay little he to working conditions with dramatic consequences. a security screening employee from a german airport spoke to us, but wanted to remain anonymous. mazetti gunston mentioned, mustn't you see huge crowds of people in the terminal stant. at some point we need to take a break, but neither the federal police nor our employers are currently making provision for that info. they just want to keep passengers glowing through security between it's a risk chair safety, kind the loft, to hide me of your last it. meanwhile, germany's leading airline. lufthansa blamed sluggish ground handling for the recent cancellation of almost a 1000 flights. anybody hoping to fly in the coming weeks will need to be patient cast. it's a tricky time for travelers, but also for those staff who are working at the world's effort. so the extra nice

to the next time you fly in avenue, you might end up with an upgrade. thanks a lot for watching this edition of may t w's business magazine. and so next time ah, ah ah ah, ah ah ah ah, ah, ah, ah ah
