when you can get more news at our website to be found at d, w dot com ah, the last 8 years were the hardest on record. and a new study finds that people in places that have already been hit by extremely high temperatures are better prepared for the next heat wave experienced matters and it can save lots. now humans and heat do not have much of a history. in places such as germany, the netherlands, and parts of argentina and australia, but global warming, it is on the way. and scientists say now is the time to prepare. and they say that spain can show us the sweltering way. i'm broke off in berlin. this is the day. ah, no, you are they, there's no rain, no water gardens are dry. it's not good. yeah. and when it starts to put in the i'm

surprised by such hot weather in april. it's strange. it's crazy that on is laqueena really early, and it's really hot. it's really hot and dying and omitted painting. but in this case of this month, it should be raining. not this. i don't want to imagine what santa will be like. also coming up the world, not so popular reserve currency more and more countries are ditching the dollar in loosely, the use of other currencies instead of the dollar with some countries such as with brazil with china, with whom there a certain currency exchange agreements could contribute something to the situation, but i believe that given the magnitude of the crisis in the problem now it won't be enough which will review was watching on p b as in the united states and to all of you around the world. welcome. we begin the

day where it's already sweltering hot and why the rest of us should be taking notes . today, spain recorded it's hottest ever temperature for april hitting 38.7 degrees celsius . that's more than a $101.00 degrees fahrenheit, and it is part of a blistering heat wave temperatures at levels that media or ologist say they never expected to see or feel the extreme heat is early summer weather. yes, but it's also driven by climate change in science and say, the sweltering heat in spain fits a bigger picture. europe is warming at twice the global rate. 2023 is on track to be the hottest year on record. we have more now from spain, summer temperatures, relentless sunshine, and not a drop of rain, seville spring fair in southern spain is proving to be

a testing time for those working at the open air event and for visitors. animal rights activists have also been calling for better protections for animals out in the heat. across large parts of spain, temperatures have been breaking records as a mass of hot air from africa, sits on top of the iberian peninsula. for those near the coast, like here in valencia, the mediterranean sea provided some respite, but locals are concerned. are you are they? there's been no rain. if there is no water gardens are dry. it's just not got logan, but double. i've been trying to be as environmentally friendly, unsustainable as i can, i try not to over consume and i also try to get the people around me to do the same also. and to be aware that what we're going through is something we have to stop. lucas, almost unless luxury gives an audible robbins and a helper updeal. this is not the way april should be gay. the truth is, the ideal scenario would be rain comment because farmers needed very much ball

latonya. this is ellen beckwith, the little and this is the effect spain stripe conditions are having the countries meteorological service. a met says this spring has been the driest and the past 15 years is a be so this, this period of heat is characterized by the fact that the forecast to temperatures will reach levels typical of july typical of midsummer. the cause really, as we've said before, as a consequence of climate change, where warm periods are more frequent, more intense, and also appear earlier in. so yeah, them us about it in the exceptionally hot weather is set to come to an end on sunday, according to weather forecasters. but with summer nearing spain is bracing itself for even higher temperatures to come in for more. now i'm joined by yummy velasquez a reporter based in spain's capital madrid. it's good to have you were this. we're glad to see that you're not sweating too much shop. i know that spain is,

is used to warm springs and hot summers, but have you ever experienced this kind of heat this early in the year? well, i am 45 years old and i don't remember. so whether such, such a temperature on april right now, i was thinking right now the temperature now in madrid and is saying to 26 sense use degrees and this is a tropical night. this is something that we are not used to even during the summer . we're just doing heat waves 2 in the summer. we are on april and are 26 degrees. miss white is where a lot here in central spain, metro folks some who say that we don't have the spring. we pass from very cold weather to very hot, very hot when the weather, but in april and may was the sweet moment in spain, madrid and dis is not happening anymore. we are actually a really, really,

really hot at the moment here. i mean solvers. faith are well you us, you said we've beaten all or records and show me. i understand that it is so hot right now that i'm some schools have been closed due to the heat. is that correct? well, there's some contingency plans put in place. something that we haven't seen before until the summer. so for example, madrid, the regional govern government government has put in place that contingency plan. and he's actually yes, that request in different schools. if the temperature goes very high and nothing me to temperature under conditions to really yes, shortened time tables and schools and allow kids to go earlier to

to, to home more or stay or stay at home. yet, there is a new report al, to on climate change this week, and it says that places that have already been hit by extreme heat waves, such as spain are most prepared for more global warming places such as germany, the netherlands are not talk to me about how prepared spain is for extreme heat like this? well, we have, we are very used to very, very, very hot temperatures, especially in the summer. and we have a use to heat weights to in the summer for even more than a week. but i don't say that nobody's really ready for such a hot and weather, or hot temperatures. and also for very much of a long time span used to be a country that is quite ready. but also um

we also need to go to work. we have to wake up, but early in the morning go to ward, go back for more and this is completely different. we need to be we need to do the same as germans do right? well, at least a k, i would, i would say that you need to bring back the siesta for sure if you've got temperatures like this. temperature is 88 degrees celsius and in april, i mean people really don't have a choice. they have to seek out shade, or they have to stay in air condition spaces, an air conditioner, they become a necessity in spain haven't yeah, yeah, definitely. people used to stay at home until 6 o'clock or 8 o'clock in the evening, so they could go out after the heat was, you know,

like going down, but this is no longer happening. people have to stay on the air conditioning, especially the elderly. the elderly need to have some sort of air conditioner because they're very exposed to heat weights. and we've seen the consequences of these a stream temperatures in early people. they need to drink a lot of water. they need to stay away from the sun in the hottest hours and, and even like that. they really need some help and, and condition. but we're saying that at this moment regarding the electricity prices some, some as far yours are really turning up, the air conditioning as spanish governments said last year that we should switch

the air conditioning to, to 27 degrees. wow. looks like very hot. yeah. i tell you that during the summer it can be like really cool when you're at 27 degrees, i hear yours. i can, i can really do that while reporter for the last minutes. we appreciate your time tonight and we appreciate you reporting from a a we call or spain. thank you. thank you very much. ah, banks are failing. our currency is crashing and the dollar will soon no longer be the world standard, which will be our greatest to feed in over 200 years. that was former u. s. president donald trump, earlier this week voicing his concern about the possible demise of the us dollar. and there is reason to be aware of some would say alarmed by the recent trend to abandon the dollar as the world's reserve currency. china today said that last

month for the 1st time ever, it's cross border transactions in its own currency, the one surpassed those carried out in us dollars. the announcement comes a day after argentina said that it would begin paying for chinese imports in want instead of dollars. brazil will do the same washer, also chimed in this week by claiming that the global move away from the dollar is quote, un stop of the police, the new, mutually or more. now i'm joined by lauren. glutamine. she is the china director of the eurasia group which specializes in risk assessment for the business community. it's good to have you on the program tonight. these cross border transactions in shined up for the 1st time more are being done in one than in us dollars. i mean, how significant is this for the status of the dollar as the world's reserve currency?

i would say that concerns about the dollarization coming from the single dollar planes that data point are quite over blown. yes, the on has increased as a share in china's own trade financing with us because it's china's currency. i think what we can see from the data is that most of us increase has been an actual trade settlement. and it hasn't really been a reflection of more and more countries using the ram and be honest, there are an exchange for example um, earlier this week at the you when the russian foreign minister city leverage, he had some hard words about the demise of the dollar i'm ticklish to what he said wouldn't go through the on brazilian president lula. this speaking get a press conference in beijing called for moving away from the dollar and relying more on other currencies for international trade. through the trend is the reverse

of all over. the americans have been seriously harming their own interests, managing international finance and the world economy. using the dollars dominant position with the flight from the dollar has already begun. shimoda. lauren to help us read lab ra of me. think if the foreign minister do protest a bit too much of his comments. maybe they prove that western economic sanctions against russia are actually working. you know, i think he riley, my saw that more and more country is, are looking to alternatives of the dollar to it's a sanctions. he pointed to a couple examples of beginning of the segment where we have countries like argentina, brazil, saudi arabia, agreeing to transact with china in b. and isn't surprising because there are new costs, teasing the dollar in light of saying,

she's again against russia. but i think we have to understand that the use of the remedy for these transactions is still very, very small relative to aggregate trade, whether we're talking about trade with china or trade globally. what about this talk that we've been hearing from the bricks, countries or brazil? russia, india, china in south africa that they want to develop a digital currency to be used instead of the dollar. i mean, what's that about? well, that's a great point and i think digital currency is, are certainly gang more widespread attention. most central bank banks around the world are looking into developing or at least studying digital currency is. and i don't think that's necessarily a reflection, a di dollarization. ah, it can be related to just more efficient transactions. but again,

you could see it as just another indication that you know, developing countries are struggling to deal with increased costs of transacting and the dollar in an environment of rising geopolitical tensions with russia. with china. yeah, i wouldn't ask you to before you renewed time, i mean, how much of this, when we're talking about these countries and you know, it's a long list countries that say that they want to win themselves from the dollar. how much of this is about more about geo politics and less about economics? you know, i would say it's mostly about geo politics at this point. and for china, it's really diplomatic. it can be seen as almost transactional, where china is really looking for, ah, countries who is trying to establish greater engagement with, to essentially do it a favor, increase the legitimacy of the you said china's currency internationalization

efforts by doing more trade in the rim and b but again, geo politics are a huge factor here, and there are more and more countries who are and especially bricks nations who are finding themselves caught in the middle of us china competition and escalating tensions and who are looking for ways to essentially leverage their relations with both the us and china and that can, we're seeing that really play out, i think. and in the d dollarization narrative here, you're in the or countries oral surgeon of it. they have a balancing act that they're trying to master is will lord, it's good talking with. we appreciate your time and your valuable insights tonight . thank you. thank you. the families in kenya are waiting to identify the bodies of relatives who were members of a colt and who were allegedly driven to starved themselves to death. in order to get to heaven of the cult leader, paul mackenzie, the tangle is being investigated in connection with the deaths of more than

largely christian country. before kenyan president william rito has pledged to crack down on such activity, which he says spreads an unacceptable ideology. ah, show on television, i know that i couldn't go crazy. people kind of enjoy it, you know, just doing. i wouldn't do anything that's normal hours shows about outrageous. and if anything that's normal, we sent you another show that's the iconic us talk show host jerry springer. he has died at the age of 79. springer became a household name in the 1900 ninety's with a t v talk show that pushed the levels of pedestrian to new lows show was anonymous with on air fights borger language and revelations of. busy all kinds of infidelity, jerry springer show, was on the air for nearly 3 decades, which makes it, i guess, for region. all right,

let me pull the entertainment corresponded k j matthews to join me tonight from las vegas k j. it's good to see you. you know, they say what happens is biggest stays in vegas. what happened on the jerry springer show? never stayed on jerry's spring. so right. right. oh my god, i was so surprised when i saw the news alert of his passing because he has been really out of television and just kind of off of the radar of hollywood for so many years now, you know, show, did last for almost 3 decades. but he's been off the air for more than a decade, obviously now, so we really hadn't seen very much of him and he wasn't doing the show. so it came as quite a surprise. you know? yeah. and when i think back to the, should the error of his show in what people used to think about the show. you could say that the show was so pedestrian for you that it ended up in the gutter. would you agree? oh my god. yes, i remember people saying, you know,

jerry springer basically brings out the worst in america, and it was all these crazy headlines. it was always like, you know, people would joke about it. they would say, oh, what is jerry springer show about today? you know, i want to marry my cousins, brother, or i found out my mother is an alien or was this crazy tabloid headlines and then it kind of merged into something that i call paternity testing before there were a was paternity testing where people would come on the show they knew that were pregnant, but they weren't quite sure who the father of while was. and so the father would come on and jerry would reveal who is the father on the show. and then you say, you know, you lead up to the building saying, you know, you are not the father, you know, just all that build up being. and he really had his own group of people that really love the show. i mean, they would say the show was kind of toilet that was really bad television for almost 3 decades unless you have an audience. so as much as people like to say,

jerry springer was kind of show, was really in a gutter he had a following. and remember, steve, i believe the wilco who was kind of like his, his guard on stage or what not really became a fixture so much so, and it shows that he left and he started his own show. kawisi will go show yes. now going into the 17th season, can you believe that? i mean that, that is impressive. and when i write, just look at some of the topics on his show. i slept with $251.00 men in 10 hours. i married a horse, married to your dad, but i want you back. zach the 70 pounds. a baby i. oh, yes. when we last had their sudden this sunday. and uh, what about the national enquirer that it was a tv version of the national enquirer where you had it, you had it alien. yeah. why don't you thing to that?

he was pre social media, but he was paving the way in social media. people have expose anything and everything that is private. nothing is private anymore. was it he the, the pre social media platform for people to expose everything that should have been kept behind closed doors. he's the pre pre minute influencer television tab wade influence or before it was really a popular to tell everybody about your personal life. you're right. jerry opened the door for that where everybody came on stage and had millions of people getting into their business and then walking away and making the most of it. but yes, he came before social media and remember people forget this. but at one point in time, the jerry springer show top the oprah winfrey show. yeah. meaning that his ratings worth higher than oprah winfrey. yeah. when her show was on, can you believe that it's amazing. you know,

we forget how high he was despite the fact that people talk, it was trash t v. it was amazing. kj as always good talking whether it's good strolling down t v. his memory lay down and have a good time to las vegas. thank you. thank you. ah, and finally a state dinner with a difference in washington, south korean president, you visited the white house and he ended his visit on a high note karaoke is massively popular in south korea and the korean president stud president joe biden. and guess at the gala dinner with a rendition of his favorite song and it's not a k pop hit, but a true american classic take a listen. oh, can miss
