the, the, you know, are series guardians of truth. watch now on youtube dw documentary the, this is dw news, either from berlin tonight, tinseltown shut down tens of thousands of actors. go on, strike in hollywood, tv, and movie actors are joining to thousands of screen riders who had been on the picket line since may. it's the biggest stride in decades. also coming up to night, you as president buys and praising major unity at the end of

a week that solved the alliance expand to finland and southern europe sweltering under the other. another heat wave temperatures soaring above 40 degrees celsius as more than a 100 degrees fahrenheit. the ivory golf is good to have you with us, the hollywood actors union has unanimously voted to go on strike contract talks with film studios collapsed earlier today. the actors are demanding their fair share of the streaming profits. and they want regulations put on the use of artificial intelligence. the actors strike will join the writers guild of america strike, which began in may, the joint work stoppages, or the 1st and 63 years to hit hollywood. the union president and t. v star fran

drescher said that the union had no choice but to strike the eyes of the world, and particularly the eyes of labor are upon us. what happens here is important because what's happening to us is happening across all fields of labor. by means of when employers make wall street and greed their priority, and they forget about the essential contributors that make the machine run. earlier i spoke with entertainment journalist k d matthews in la, and i asked her to walk us through the negotiations and to explain what went wrong . well, you know, you heard it. so fran drescher, she said that the 2 sides were so far apart, that it was impossible for them to even meet in the middle. and she shock,

she showed outraged during the press conference which happened a little less than an hour ago in what on for about 30 or 40 minutes. but she said she just could not believe how the studios and the networks are treating the actors and even the writers that they know for years and showing such a disrespect. the bottom line is that they really couldn't come to an agreement over core issues. what are those core issues? pay, salary residuals benefits and a i artificial intelligence also on hearing self change. i didn't know that that was an issue until recently, but they said that a lot of the salt tapes they're being asked to send in to audition for parents. they want limitations on that. they want to get back to the good old days where they were actually going in person to casting agents. wow. and talking to asians, and auditioning in person to get those jobs. so now they want to have put some read uh, some restrictions on those type of things. yeah. return to the good old days of,

of casting calls. you know, this is the 1st time g major, hollywood unions have been on strike at the same time since 1960 that. and i think that was when ronald reagan was the actors guild in president. i mean, yeah, i think he's back to me to have looked at them. yeah. because he wants to run it. that's, you know, at other aspirations, but yes. can you believe that ronald reagan was, wasn't in a sag, uh, a union back then. so lots of things have changed and that's really what a lot of the writers and especially now the actors are saying is that we have streaming platforms. we didn't use have streaming platforms decades ago. so a lot of the rules and regulations and policies in terms of how they got paid, were mainly for networks and build studios. there really is nothing out there. now this charter reads the territory for the streaming platforms. and mainly a lot of them are complaining that, you know, when you have

a hit show on television, on a television network or you have a film, it's out of the box offices, you know exactly how much money that they owe me. likewise for television, you know, how many viewers you have? well, when it comes to streaming, it's been very hard, according to them, to really mail down the streaming platforms for exactly how many subscribers you have and how many are watching our program and how many times you know status. the key issue because that would show where there's a lot of people watching it more than anybody else. they may believe they should be paid accordingly. so, so either of the business models they've all been turned on, their heads disruption everywhere and talked to me there. what is this strike these 2 strikes is almost any strikes. what's it going to do to hollywood? oh, it's shutting it down. when the writers went on strikes, the thing about the writers is they already had a lot of things that they have written months in advance. so in other words, if you were working on a tv show and you were on stripe, like say,

tomorrow you probably already wrote episodes months in advance. so you might not have seen the effect right away when it comes to the actors. everything shuts down . that means that if you are promoting mission impossible and barbie, let's just say that the promotion was supposed to happen next week and it was opening next week. then you can do that as an actor. and especially as a screenwriter, you won't be on that red carpet. you won't be in the film festivals to for your upcoming films. you won't be going to comic con, or central con in las vegas. any type of promotion at all that uses actors will not see. there's a silver lining for certain people in hollywood. you know what that is? reality shows us the reality producers, they probably are loving this because they're thinking these streaming platforms. yeah. and also the tell us that much they're going to ask for more. i've been saying my mom should put the body, came on and do a reality show from her cul de sac. it would be a kit case,

a bad news. she may be the only woman with a job in hollywood for the next few months, k j. thank you. right? yeah, as you, as president buys, has reaffirmed his commitment to nato, his newest member of finland. he wrapped up his visit to europe. today speaking in helsinki, fine said the vin us in finland are working in lock step for a more secure path from for the world. instead of the nordics summit, which also included sweden, denmark, iceland in norway address challenges, including clean energy, regional security. and we're in no tex knology, now the talks come on the heels of this week's earlier summit, the nato summit that took place in lithuania with the war in ukraine. the high on the agenda biden said that he's hopeful that negotiations will one day soon bring it into this for i don't think the working going for years for 2 reasons. number one, i don't think that the russians could,

could maintain the war forever. number one in terms of the resources and capacity. number 2, i think that there is going to be a circumstance where eventually present food is going to the site is not in the interest of russia, economically, politically or otherwise, to continue this war. but i can't predict exactly how that happens. my hope is an expectation, as you'll see, that ukraine makes significant progress on their offensive. and that it generates and undergo shaded settlement somewhere along the line. so at that meeting, president biden also called finland an incredible asset to need a judge shipments and is a professor of international relations at the university of maryland. i asked him what finland brings to the table. they do 2 things for the alliance. number one,

finland, sweden also were longstanding new trolls in europe. there was always only composite . ready of them joining the alliance. yes, the russian behavior became truly a foreign and of course, since the russian invasion of ukraine, it has done so. so this, the number one, these countries joining the alliance for their, indicate to russia that it's the strategic plan, the strategic gains from the one you created back bar that really isolated. that's number one. number 2, of course, nato expansion took the alliance further and further eastward in putting into the baltic states. one of the questions, the alliance phase for many years was how do you defend the baltic states? now this is still a very near run, very hard to do issue by virtue of having finland and sweden in the alliance becomes recently somewhat easier to possibly find ways of defending the most extensively over the volume of parts of southern europe are baking under any stream heat, wave temperatures of sword over 40 degrees celsius and parts of italy, spain,

grease croatia, and turkey in southern italy. millions are faltering under the heat. the sardinia could reach 47 degrees celsius in the coming days and degree capital. athens high temperatures predicted to reach 45 on saturday. authorities are urging residents and torres the life to be careful. extreme temperatures are likely to continue well into the weekend. so anxious to say that droughts heat wildfires, other dangerous weather events are becoming more likely and more severe across the world due to climate change lives. eventually she is a british media or ologist who is the chief executive of the royal media logical society. earlier i asked her how experts can attribute extreme weather events to climate change. it's yeah,

so most of the heats events that we've seen the rec codes been broken around, the world tends to be attributed to climate change. and we, we have a method that we can do to, to, to scientifically and look at how we attribute these extreme events. so for example, we brought in models with all the human and just greenhouse gases that we have put in the atmosphere. and we see how likely these bends, these events also happen. we also good models. we've out those greenhouse gases that we have puts in the office for you and see what the likelihood is that, you know, the world could produce these kind of events. we found those human induced greenhouse gases, so we get these figures of things being a 100 times more likely all twice as likely to happen. because of these studies, a most heat defense of attributed to climate change. many of the flooding if i saw, but not all, as you said, it was an interesting study from the recent floods they know, and they tell me which ones attributed to human injuries, climate change, but many, all. and it's a, it's a suddenly a growing area of science,

but it allows us to really science. if we look at a particular extreme events of the impact climate change is happening. we saw last week, these new record average temperatures being broken one day after the other. and now we're seeing record highs here in europe. when do these high temperatures? when do they become life threatening? when should we be talking about deadly new record ties or? well, they all ready and so if you look back to the heats of items that we have last summer, the heat wave events across europe, winowski and scientific papers being published, a recent paper in nature shows that they were over $60000.00. expedite acts across europe, june the heat waves in 2022. so we can actually look at the dates of the real thing . so it's actually, that's the people from the city, but even to in this heat wave, when picking up, you know, people are, you know, there was a, a, some, a gentleman, a full, 2 year old mom died a, nobody's away. he was out working in the,

in the extreme, he eats and unfortunately at, you know, but he takes ocean and himself passed away. so we're seeing it happening in real time. but we're getting these studies that actually can, you know, look at the, the, the number of extra tax because of the extreme heat events that we've been seeing this year. and last year, these extreme weather events lives, you know, they, they're becoming the new norm is. it's almost a regular pattern now that we're having to live with. are we prepared for this to be? do you see national governments taking action to adapt to this new norm? are there? yeah. so there's a couple of things here. i guess the 1st thing is, is, is government action to actually try and limit says a woman. and we know we, we talked about this regularly, but the, there isn't enough action now at the moment being taken by government and spawn businesses and by ourselves as individuals to mitigates against climate change. we're seeing our climate change in around to so we have to become much more

resilience and adapt to that changing climate. and that streaming challenging because a lot of the time it requires a large investment into the infrastructure around is because infrastructure was built on the climate that was probably 30 years ago, not to come in climate and certainly not the future climate. and we have to adopt for our health as well. so you know, it pops of nov when you were not used to these kind of extreme heat events. i'll buildings a, a back key because we're not cool. and so we have to think about how we, we manage to, to manage and keep ourselves healthy and fix it even to process something positive you that way. you know, they do get heat events some time, some they don't see these kinds of extreme temperatures, life threatening temperatures, and you've got a red heat, helpful load going out across many countries across a southern you, if at the moment saying don't go outside even between 11 and 4 o'clock don't go outside, stay in air conditioning buildings. that's how dangerous it is. yeah,

and of course is that is if you have air conditioning and we know particularly in northern europe, most people don't lose bit with the royal media, logical side lives. as always, we appreciate your time and your insights. thank you to your cdw news that makes the the beardsley has dw business news. i will see you tomorrow, the eclipse, someone else to the cd highlights of selected for you. you every week. a new a box subscribe. now the one of main kinds, oldest ambitions could be within reach.
