this general's, i don't know that was alex monterey. same with human rights lawyer and uganda. thank you so much and best of luck in your find. before we go, here's a quick reminder of our top story today. russia has a key was to crane of a drone attack on las go. socrates say several drones were shot down while others struck and damaged apartment buildings. ukraine has denied responsibility. meanwhile it's capital. keith came under a new russian drone stager now for business with k ferguson. i'll be back tomorrow for the sometimes the shawn rothschild, i choose out to the highlight every week, not to not become a criminal pretty clinic,

already told me about sugars paralyzed between your societies. computers incentives and governments that go crazy for your data, explain how these technologies work. so that's how they can also watch it. now, the drives across southern europe, in the farmers facing their worth harvest in decades with the problem expected to worst. and in the summer months, the even the climate change policy is once again in the spot. lice also told me of a love affair that have to end as the pill bottle of getting

a tale and to ditch the combustion engine and say for off electric and mobility. business need to be business. i'm k, ferguson. that thanks for joining me. more than a 5th, most of europe is at risk of experiencing aid to ride this summer. parts of spain on southern fronts are already experiencing water shortages with farmers expecting the worst field in decades. the situation is especially serious as it follows the use of consecutive drive, which of depletion grind was short reserves. the average temperature in the mediterranean region is now 1.5 degrees higher than it was a 150 years ago. that's in line with the forecast scientist has made to buy it. how climate change impact the region. now, addressing this problem is among the islands high on the agenda as i'm using of e. u agro cultural ministry is taking place in brussels today. he w correspondent duck park is there has been following the talks closely. jack

farmers in europe are ready under pressure on the summer, it has barely gone. what could they be in for in the coming months or? yeah, it's looking like it's going to get much, much worse for them, kate, that's what we're hearing. and that's why the spanish, especially along with the portuguese, the friends and the italians are ringing the alarm bell on this. they say that the european union needs to act collectively as soon as possible to deal with this. we know that throughout the summer is expected to be continued low rain full. obviously we don't expect very much rain for the summer, but it's also potentially predicted that that could be extreme heat waves, like we've seen in previous see is that can have a massive effect on the farm is as well for instance, we've seen in portugal, they say that around 40 percent of the agricultural activity is affected by this no rain full of high temperatures, spain. the rain full for this last year has been 24 percent below the average,

which is compounded to 26 percent the previous year. they just don't have the water and what this is meant is that farm is all they don't have the past to land. so instead of sending that livestock livestock is the, the, the, the ivr code for those sites. and that's really how this, by this because the, the livestock farm is constant in the, the animals lights the past is so instead of having to give the feed which costs a lot of money is very expensive. and it means that for that that costs are going up, the price of those, the selling for has to go up, but what they're seeing instead as well, which is competitive. this issue is the russians invasion, evasion of ukraine has meant that agricultural products from ukraine are coming through into the european union at lower prices and compound in this issue further, meaning that competing products that are being produced in the european union, the spanish says reset a saying that this has an absolute crisis under the you needs to act as quickly as

possible. okay, so what kind of assistance are the farmers calling for on will the gases or they are cooling for as much money as possible? that's what the farm is. one and indeed that's what the spanish agricultural minister entering the meeting here in brussels earlier today called for what the spanish government wants is for the european union to enact what's known as the crisis mechanism within what's called the common agricultural policy. simple, it's a budget of money to come and i like a cultural policy. and within that budget, that's $450000000.00 your race per year, which in a crisis can be dispatched to other to the you members the states to try to deal with this. we saw some of that money just passed last year. actually because of that ukraine issue with the, with the grains. another agricultural products coming in, the spanish, supported by the portuguese and the italians in the french are saying, we need this to be an attitude as soon as possible. there's a bit of reluctance in the european commission and by of the e u. countries as well. we think that they don't want to move too quickly on this.

spain is already subsidize that agricultural sites sites as to the tune of 276000000. yours became that that might be able to support them. but it's also important to say that that money could only be despised if countries agreed to do so. it needs universal support. okay, well the watching developments closely. jack park and brussels. thank you very much . and as we just mentioned, spain is one of the country's experiencing and especially serious right, right now, experts say long term solutions are needed to address water shortages. in the meantime though, europe largest the solid nation plans located in the countries, the 2nd largest se of barcelona is providing some relief at these beach in barcelona showers have been turned off to health save water. spain is facing its longest and harshest drought in decades, and the country 2nd largest city would be in

a much worse situation. if it wasn't for europe's largest, the southern nation plant built in 2009, and you over got a few kilometers south of barcelona. the plan supports about 5000000 people in the air we got around the cattle and capital, but it wasn't always like that. the biggest, i knew the fuel for am i doing the 1st few years. the production levels were low because the reserve wars were full of water. so we had enough natural resources. but in the last 2 years on yeah. especially since last year, january 2020 to the production level as being very high because we are in a drought for many months. water is pumped into the plan from about 2 kilometers out into the sea. after traveling through several cleaning and filtering systems, which reaches the final stage were sold is removed. the disseminated water isn't just for drinking. it's also for farms an industry. while the selling nation accounts for a 3rd of barcelona, as water needs its expensive,

a 1000 leaders of the selling aided, watered cost of $70.00 or cents to produce, that's more than 3 times the cost of fresh water filter from the uber got the river . in my opinion, you should use discrimination only for the very, very push of me like bringing bought up to the pollution and thing on the medium of what the potential because there are other sources of uh of what are you can use. uh, the most important one is really registration, for example. okay, so that's, that's where use recycling. that's the most important one. the costs are not the only issue separating sea water from solid is an energy intensive process. a large chunk of the electricity used comes from non renewable sources. while the southern nation plants are important solutions into short term, spain should invest in other more sustainable ways to get water running from tops, despite droughts. now to some of the other global business stories making news,

kessler boss mosque is meeting with officials in china. it's his 1st trip to the country since the opening of the company's shanghai production plans. the visit comes on select, or con maker brussels, with intensifying competition from chinese companies. i'm gonna truck onto pounds. toyotas are group, are planning to combine forces. the manufacturers are currently discussing the details of a merger, which they say is intended to drive the development of more climate friendly vehicles from since causing the ribbon on its 1st electric battery plant. that makes sense, and it's raised to build up a sector dominated by china, is the partnership between total energy is mercedes benz. on the long to present a volume of my coal aims to construct the sample factories over the next 3 years of part of a re industrialization plant. now, from 2035, the sale of new diesel and gasoline cars will be found in the european union. the

policy is a key part of efforts to reduce carbon emissions, but has been met with an outcry in some quarters, including easily for 19 out of 20 new cars sold still one on the combustion engine . when it comes to changing attitudes towards electric mobility, there appears to be a long road ahead. p april lives in the center of palermo. in the morning. he drives to work like everyone else here, despite the traffic jams. so why doesn't he take the bus? but it's okay, i think i'd still be waiting at the bus stop now. but can i ask you something or did you see any buses on the whole trip? the answer? no. so it takes just under half an hour to cover the 4 kilometers to work. p a throw is a lawyer. while he meets his clients,

we search the city for electric vehicles in vain. there's not a single functioning charging station in the city center to better understand why electric mobility is poorly developed in the south of italy. it's worth taking a detour to the southern side of the island to gyla for decades, state owned energy firm, and it used to refine oil here in 2019. it's switch to biofuels, but the facilities output isn't carbon neutral according to the rules. so it can no longer be used to refuel vehicles after 2035 trade unionists. rosario cut that i know is worried about what that means for the future of the area. no impulse. so no, it can't be that the workers from these big companies will end up paying the high price for all the sudden changes and english to get on the get on the, the end up to $70000.00 jobs could be lost in italy as

a result of the combustion engine phase out p a throw has come home from work, and the family is preparing dinner. his wife donatello has also been driving around all day shopping, taking the kids to school and driving to friends houses. could she imagine switching to an electric vehicle say, i'm case call split i'm, i'm put off by the high cost, so we don't that we couldn't afford an electric car right now. we'd have real difficulties with that. how well italy managed to move away from combustion powered cars, noon show. so let me q rates is own museum of automotive history. he says, electric cars will have to awaken a love and passion among italians to succeed. but we need to create beautiful things that are in shantay, global manufacturers have to take inspiration from the cars in the past for the

world of tomorrow on. yeah. like many others pro and don't have to take their car to the beach on weekends. electric vehicles are hard to spot and that is unlikely to change in italy anytime soon. i, and i'm finally, if you have both a switch to the and an environmental conscience, this might be of interest. the maker of the maurice talk, the bar is testing at environmental the front of the packaging. for a limited time, you'll be able to get bars wrapped in recyclable paper robbers in stores across the u. k. the company says the trial is part of it. the efforts become more climate neutral producers of everything from chris, from chocolate and she is a have come under increasing fire from environmentally conscious consumers. let's say that should be, do more to make their packaging sustainable. and that wraps up our so thank you so much for watching from where you can always check out the the comments last business for on the date of the news each channel as well from me and
