to be found at d, w dot com ah, the last 8 years were the hottest 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 burnt off in berlin. this is the day. ah no you are they, there is no rain. no water gardens are dry. it's not good. yeah. and when like

stuff to put in the i'm surprised by such hot weather in april. it's strange. it's crazy and then is it local enough? really early and it's really hot. it's really hot and dying and home is a fainting. but in this case, oh yeah, this month it should be raining, not with i don't want to imagine what summer will be like. also coming up the world, not so popular. reserve currency, more and more countries are ditching the dollar innocently 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 and the problem now, it won't be enough which i'll 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's spade 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 meteorologist 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 and southern spain is proving to be a testing time for those working at the open air event and for visitors. animal

rights activists civil. so 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 ras bite, but locals are concerned. are you are they? there's been no rain. if there's no water gardens are dry, it's just not got logan but noble. i've been trying to be as environmentally friendly and sustainable as i can. i try not to over consume. and i also tried to get the people around me to do the same old. so and to be aware that what we're going through is something we have to stop. look at almost, but unless one goes i get an article robbins and alberto feel this is not the way april should be gay. busy the truth is, the ideal scenario would be rain comment because farmers needed very much, ample,

lethargic, was not able to let up with them little. and this is the effect spain's drive conditions are having the country's meteorological service. a met says this spring has been the driest in the past 15 years. if they, if you show your 1st period of heat is characterized by the fact that the forecasted 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, a lot of 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 checking right now, the temperature now in madrid and he said to $26.00 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 metric for example, we 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 eve, spade madrid. and this is not happening anymore. we are actually a really, really,

really hot at the moment here. i mean solvers. faith are well you, 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 then 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 to put in place that contingency plan . and he's actually yes, that request in different schools. if the temperature goes very high and it doesn't meet the temperature on the 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 light. this where 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, for such a very long time. they used to be a country that is quite ready,

but also um we also need to go to work. we have to wake up 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 say that you need to bring back the siesta for sure if you've got temperatures like this, temperature's 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. yes, ms. lee. 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. and people have to stay on the air condition and 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 out the air conditioner and the spanish government 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 doors i can, i can relate to that while reporter ca velasquez. we appreciate your time tonight and we appreciate you reporting from a a we call or spain. thank you. thank you very much. ah, thanks are failing. our currency is crashing and the dollar will soon no longer be the world's standard, which will be our greatest 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 u. s. 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 the u. s. 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 and we produce the new mutually delivery of a 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 points are quite over blown. yes, theory has increased as a share in china's own trade financing, but that's because it's china's currency. i think we can see even the data is that most of this increase has been an actual trade settlement. and it hasn't really been a reflection of more and more countries using the brand. and be honest, there is a foreign exchange, for example, um, earlier this week at the you when russian foreign minister city leverage, he had some hard words about the demise of the dollar. i'm take a listen to what he said, susan from whose young brazilian president lula this speaking, get our press conference in beijing called for moving away from the dollar and relying more on other currencies for international trade through the trend is irreversible over to the americans have been seriously harming their own interests,

managing international finance and the world economy. using the dollars dominant position, we can reduce the flight from the dollar has already begun. shimoda b a. 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 or actually working you know, i think he riley, my saw that more and more countries 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 it's not 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 rim and b for these transactions is still very, very small relative to aggregate trade. whether we're talking about trade with china, where trade globally. what about this talk that we've been hearing from the bricks? countries or brazil, russia, india, china and 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 a 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, ah, 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, use 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 on countries who is trying to establish greater engagement with, to essentially do it a favor, increase the legitimacy of the use of 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 in, in the d. dollarization narrative here. yeah. in the or countries oral surgeon, they have a balancing act that they're trying to master as well. lord, it's good talking with we appreciate your time and your valuable insights tonight. thank you. thank you. ah, families in came young are waiting to identify the bodies of relatives who were members of a court and who were allegedly driven to starved themselves to death in order to get to heaven of the cult leader, paul mackenzie. the tenga is being investigated in connection with the death of

more than a 100 people. but for us, saying the names of their missing loved ones aloud as they wait to hear whether they have been found. family members gather here in the canyon coastal town of melinda to identify the remains of bodies recently exceeded from a near by forest. all victims of a suspected religious starvation cult that has been in operation for several years . stephen marie t lost his family after his wife took their children to join the self proclaimed good news. international church i put along when are you like my children? i did when i knew that for sure, the young men who told me about my children had been living in the forest since 2021. they told me the names of my children. they didn't even know me land. they told me my children had been starved to death. i be out yet wonderful little lilian, pastor pool mackenzie. and the thing is accused of driving people to death by

before canyon president william rito has pledged to crack down on such activity, which he says strength and unacceptable ideology. ah, show on television, i know that i'm rated by physical crazy people kind of enjoy. you know, it's just a few in gum. i wouldn't do anything that's normal hours shows about outrageousness anything that's normal. we sent you another. that's the iconic us talk show host jerry springer. he has died at the age of 79. springer became a household name of the 1990s with a t v talk show that pushed the levels of pedestrian to new load and show was synonymous with on air fights boerger 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 in terms of origin. all right, i'm pulling entertainment corresponded k j matthews. she joins me tonight from las

vegas. k. j is good to see you. you know, they say what happens in vegas stays in vegas. what happened on the jerry springer show? never stayed on the jerry springer show. 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 hollywood for so many years now. you know, he show did last for almost 3 decades. but he's been off the 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 i, 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 i was paternity testing where people would come on the show they knew they were pregnant, but they weren't quite sure yet. 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 he would say, you know, he'd lead up to it a 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, there was 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 kedusha was really in the gutter. he had a following. and remember, steve, i believe the will cause he 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 shall, yes. now going into it 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 once you back, zack, the 70 pounds. a baby i. oh, yeah. when we land there, sudden the soviet 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 bring to that? he was pre social media,

but he was paving the way it's 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 3 minute influencer television tab wade influencer 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 it how high he was,
