screenwriters in the 1st industry wide strike in more than 6 decades. there. calling for better pay and for protections for their work in the face of artificial intelligence. unions called the strike after a month indigo, she ations collapsed. cousins have closed in hollywood for the 1st time in over 60 years. active and rises have joined forces to demand best contracts. production on major films shows and series has ground to a halt where we're just really finally all coming together and realizing that we need to have solidarity not only promotes us out the months of our own union, but also with the other union in our business. and then also solidarity with all the other labor movements that are happening across the country, the name on the fish it of streaming profits and a calling for regulations on us. official intelligence

the head of disney hits back to the thrust of industrial action, cooling, union, expectations, unrealistic. but the active union president, friend, dreshaun, star of the 9 to speak on the nanny emphasize the importance of reaching a new deal. so the striking work is all the presentations and around the world. the eyes of the . c the, under the union's strike rules, actors are prohibited from performing and films as well as promoting them. that's already had an impact on one of the biggest premiers, the yeah. the atomic history drama oppenheimer, it's london debut,

was moved up. so start like robert downey junior until he and massey could appear before the strike began. well yeah, we wanted to come out of talk about it cuz we're really proud of it. and we worked really hard on it and we wanted to, you know, everything was all set up. so we said people, let's just, let's just do it, you know? and then if they call a strike, well, and that's exactly what they did to the action was confirmed with the strike now underway. the red carpet is set to be far less busy until the deal is reached. is almost everyone's drawing. what's hollywood going to do? i put the question to entertain the journalist k. j matthews. you know, it depends on who you're asking. it's funny, you should mention that brand. i actually spoke to a source of mine this morning and i thought, you know, i wonder if the studios and the networks got the message from fran drescher, yesterday, when she was up there saying, you know, they're being greedy. this is what we're asking for. she was speaking on behalf of sad sack after the after union and you know, my,

my source told me that actually was do some of the people that they spoken with or said that they were willing to let the strike go on. and they're not any closer to even attempting to ask for a meeting with the writers guild, nor the screen actor's guild at all. um, so it's actually quite scary to think that you know, so many, these people, their livelihood depend on being paid and to see if this might go on for like, you know, 3 or 6 or even more months is quite frightening for, for many people here in hollywood. yeah, i mean you have people's livelihoods at stake right now, and also major movie productions that are in the pipeline mean when they are going to be impacted by this. you know how our viewers, how are they going to feel the effects of the, you know, customers who have described the streaming services, for example, or maybe go worse. i mean, when are they going to notice something as well? the, the biggest thing is the films are in production. now avatar 3 avatar for wonder

woman 3 gladiator films like that. you will see them shut down immediately. and what that means is, when it does release will be put, the release date will be pushed back. that's the bottom line. so if you are having a feeling that maybe was going to come out sometime in the summer of next year 2024, it might take a year now. so it might be pushed back to 2025. that's the 1st thing i think when it comes to other things like film festivals, fan events, movie premieres press junkets that goes away. so you might still see the events being had, but you won't see celebrity. so i think it'll be interesting to see something like the venice film festival, which happens next month in august or the toronto film festival, which happens in september with no red carpet with no stars. they are to promote their upcoming films. so that'll be interesting. or, you know, just basic movie premieres, i've had a couple of studios contact me and say that the premieres, that i was invited to,

that i was going to attend next week. and the week after or canceled the only one that i know they're still ongoing. at this point is the one i was supposed to go to this weekend called haunted mansion by disney. they turn theirs into a fan event. so its not a premier, its just an opportunity for me to go in screen the film with no start, no stars or celebrities, and no red carpet. so that's kind of the immediate effect. so we know that the units are calling for better pay better working conditions. but what makes this a very 21st century labor event is that they're also asking for regulation of artificial intelligence. talk to me briefly about why actors and writers in hollywood. why are they so concerned about a i, as well, let's start with the writers. writers get paid based on the credits they get, you know, if their name is associated with a certain show written by revised by all of that determines what they get paid. and how often agency is they are replaced in any way by artificial intelligence. that

means that they get less pay. what they want is to have some sort of limitation to make sure they're not completely replaced when it comes to revising screenplays or revising television scripts that they're still on the cards and they still have credit and that they're still being used. otherwise, they could cut into like half of what they're making when it comes to actors. you know, the greatest part i think i've heard back run after say this morning on television, is it often times they come in and they have no lines or very few lines with their back run after and they get paid for that day rate. and if they need to do any retakes, they usually call them back with the introduction of a i don't need to do that. they can have you come on day one play, you will pay you a flat rate and then say if we want to do revisions or we need to change anything, we'll just take your likeness and we'll use it in perpetuity, and that's hard for them here. obviously cutting into their pay right now there are no restrictions or policies about how a i can be used,

how often it can be used and why can be used in the writers and the actors want some sort of regulations around that. yeah, and regulating a i it's, it's an issue all over the world and it's an issue that has not been resolved anywhere. so they could be talking for a long time. it looks like entertainment journalist gauging matthews with the latest from los angeles as always, k j. thank you. thank you. so back here in europe at bill a roost says that fighters from the russian mercenary group wagner are working as instructors at the military range. just south of the capital, mid the defense industry released this video, showing wagner fighters training local forces. now wagner played a key role in the ukraine offensive, but launched a short rebellion to topple russia's military leadership. before backing down last month, wagner leader yevgeny per goshen agreed to move his forces to bellows as part of

a deal to in that revolt. now progressions where balance they remain unknown larissa, the leader alexander lucas, think of says that he helped broker that deal were earlier i asked russia analysts, konstantin acres what he makes and the videos that were released by the bell roost in defense ministry as well. but the 1st of all was we'll, we can easily identify that this event. so this, this is fairly professionally shock. video was shots, all location in a see probably a small location in the other rooms bots. what cannot be done this sketch or to verify whether we have any volumes of fighters in this video we, we see people from the ministry personnel from bill ruffin. territorial defense, not not the regular on this search. uh and they are without musk bought the suppose the legit wagner. a group fights us army in mosques. but are they

a block of the fighters or whether these are all the people we do not really know. secondly, there are not too many of those instructors. and sadly, i would say that the the fact that they appear on a regular program on be able to use national television shows that this is basically an attempt to officially certify that's a voc that people are really in the box official certification in that alexander lucas shank was bell over so for that matter with him with his rush, i mean is actually nothing anything can be stage. well, assuming the video we saw today shows us reality, assuming that these are wagner troops, there that are training bell, roofs, and soldiers. i'm wondering what, what does it serve? what purpose does it serve for bella rufe to show this to the world? how can it be? and lucas shame goes interest for the world to think that his forces are being

trained by more scenarios. so well, look, the shape of doesn't care about morals bots. what this video clips are is the purpose of showing that lucas jacob was a real mediator of whether he was not between the garden and food at 2 weeks ago was nearly 3 weeks ago now. and secondly, that a promises were fulfilled, that everything is arrived, the lucas right beside the fire, the that divides the fight as a go into the other was they are and bellows that everything is as was a right. and this is probably also an attempt to show that this particular about crisis, especially for pushing it was a crisis, is over the ever think they agreed on is that has been basically fulfilled. and that's why i think they have this video to show that everything is back to normal. and we're going to see pictures,

purportedly pictures of you haven't got any pretty garden for part of the allegedly and billers that is supposed to certify that all those wild sorts of rumors on russian social media of a big garden is already dead because he cross boxes the totes, and they also have no ground under them. i think that is the signal, but there is throwing up. that's another mention. yeah. which analysts goes to teenagers is always causative. we appreciate your time and your analysis. thank you . thank. well, russia's war has split many ukrainian families, millions of women and children have fled to other countries. well, most men are obliged to stay and possibly fight for the country. as the conflict drags on experts as a long term separation is taking a heavy toll on ukraine. ringback * and all that, this is how alexander the machine it spends time with his daughter sole, mia,

me stuff and his wife christina often joins, and it's almost like they're together. but they're not. he's at home in case of rain and there's thousands of kilometers away long as you call it. you know what his name is for you when i talk to them, it feels like i'm with them. but when i finish the phone call, i realize i look around and i realize that i'm not, but it will pass and it looks under can't leave the country marshal law means men of fighting age have to stay, but his family are safe in scotland. they're, they have a new house, new school, new friends, and a new language. they're having to build a new life without him. what's the best thing that i can move in for that we see on television and on the internet, families getting divorced because the distance is difficult, the very difficult time wasn't. maybe we're still together because we are united around so long the whole the feeling we understand what this is on the phone with. let's show it's a oh, it's 100 does his best to follow. so the me

a school progress via voice notes and videos. her teachers tend to be even visited him last october. but the light of being together was turned dark by russian drawing a tax on key of why they were your business to y'all about movements. the only thing i'm grateful was that they would leave you. it was very scary, equally when you look at the situation or what is happening here and what is best for the child. you have to make sacrifices so sure. seems that please, as the work continues, there's separation starting to feel less temporary. at 1st, alexander thought they would just have to spend 12 months apart. but now he's accepted that at least for the next school year. the best thing for social media is to stay in scotland. you can find, man and alexander,

situation across ukraine with no signs of the war will be over soon. exports worry about the long term effects on families and the country. i literally been over his studies, socio demographic problems for decades. she worries that the longer the war lasts, the more rooted children and their mothers will become in their new homes after the war. returning to a ruined country may seem like a per option, and many refugees are precisely the people. ukraine will need some dissented, so it, it should be added that to 70 percent of women who left after february 24th have higher education's a bit of glass. now, does it matter? sure, you understand very well that if the wife has a higher education, then most likely the husband does to. that is we will lose a significant part of human and social capital school is to turn off. if it doesn't . actually, alexander uses bedtime stories to keep a link with his daughter vasqua lot, your less

a level 5 feet simple festival, not to break this connection between us. a lot of them. so we don't create some kind of chasm as we communicate in the morning with them during the day. and in the evening, it's like going to bed together, the height and the spot to all of them. tonight he reads for children's homes by ukrainian after followed a miracle and got more. he was killed in the war, but his words rolled from mind this ukrainian child where she comes from me now from keith is dw special correspondent, i uber, him who filed that report by you since the start of the conflict, nearly 8000000 people have left ukraine and many families, they've been separated as we saw there in your report. you have witnessed this impact. talk to us about a yes, brent, it's really one of the more in visible cost of this war. i would say that,

but i myself started really observing it and seeing it on my trips to ukraine, traveling with the train from poland. and i noticed that most, if not all of the passengers on these trains would be women and children. and once we would arrive and key of after a native travel, there would always be these really, really emotional family reunions on the train track with the women coming from abroad. and usually a men or male relatives waiting for them. you know, it was a kind of a pleasant thing to see after a long trip for awhile, but then i really started to think about it and as well, who are these people and what are the stories behind these reunions? at 1st my instinct was, well, maybe there are people, people are really returning on mass back to ukraine. but as we started digging and really asking about it, we realize that it's more people, you know, women and children who have more or less, permanently settled abroad, coming to visit the 2nd half of their families, their fathers,

brothers and husbands. it's cetera. i mean was now reached, we're well into the 2nd year of the war for a lot of civilians. we've reached a sort of limbo civilian life is possible in many parts of you create in big cities like cube a. that's thanks to air defense and there are families here that you know continue to to, to exist and go to school and work, but no one is safe all the time as we've seen with the attack on the, the, the apartment building and move just last week there's a feeling that there is some kind of safety, a normal see, but at the same time, no one is really safe all all the time. and that puts parents or families. a lot of them gives them a very, very difficult choice. do they stay together and uh, you know, a face that risk or did they stay separated? and you know, give their children perhaps more safety, but then they would have a different set or for us to deal with or a different set of challenges to deal with as with alexandra and his family. and so,

you know, we felt that in the war during this war, of course, the stories that really dominate often, perhaps, rightfully so, are things you know, like munitions or what's going on in the battle field. but also there, you know, these battles that are happening in society every day. and this is certainly one of them. and we really felt that that was an important part of ukraine story to tell right now. yeah, it is the humanity that it's on. know a part of this more and the fates and the destinies of countless people being decided as we report from the front lines here. exactly right. the w special correspondence. abraham did not reporting from ki. i a think india is space agency has launched a rocket that will attempt to land a robotic rover on the moon. the shawn gray and 3 mission aims to touch down on the moon's largely unexplored south pole. one objective is to explore the region for ice, which could potentially supply

a future space station with water street. 10 blast off to the far side of the moon. india aiming to write history as the 1st nation to land a spacecraft on the lunar south pole, the thousands gathered to watch and pray for the chandra on 3 after a previous mission sailed the last and then he was supposed to be a huge boat though you did as all the clips, it'd be given to me through the morning and it was a big disappointment. i think this is one of the you went with it. you know, it's in parking lot of knowledge to people. so i think this is always the one of the guest events that we were looking forward for all these days. so yeah,

i'm very included just to watch through the launch have mission, control, engineers and scientists were over the moon. as the launch went off without a hitch. and douglas and cynthia turned it in 3 have stopped at his journey to ex moon. and let us resolve the best part of that of that and take it off to make it spotted a little bit racing manuals and driving towards mon. in the coming days. it's in the 2nd attempt at a soft landing on the moon. in 2019 the gender and twos lender and rover, crashed before touch down. much is riding on this new endeavor. as india aspires to position itself as a space super power. the nation is investing heavily in the sector with an eye on

the commercial space market. the lunar south pool is largely unexplored. the rover could give scientists new insights about the moon's composition. the lender is scheduled to touch down on august 23rd a day that may mark a new chapter in india, space, odyssey and back your own words. tennis news. now that joking age has made his 5th street wimbledon final and his 35th major final breaking the record of american great, chris, ever the serbian, that you see at the bottom of your screen beat italy's younique's center in straight sets in there. so in my final, it was a repeat of last year's quarter final, where it sooner had pushed chunk of its hard, but this was far more straightforward drug, which is now one victory away from roger federer is record
