hollywood for the 1st time in over 60 years, actors and rices 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 amongst 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. they want this session of streaming profits and a calling for regulations on us official intelligence the head of disney hits back to the rest of industrial action, calling union expectations unrealistic. but the active union president, friend dresser stars the 9 to speak on the 90 emphasize the importance of reaching

a new deal. so the striking work is all the presentations around the world. the eyes of the . c the, under the unions 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 premieres of the year. the atomic history drama oppenheimer, it's london debut, was moved up. so it stands like robert downey junior until he and murphy could appear before the strike began. well yeah, we wanted to come out and 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, let's just, let's just do it,

you know. and then if they call it strike, well, and that's exactly what they did to be action was confirmed with the strike. now under way, the red carpet is set to be far less busy until a deal is reached. with almost everyone in strike, what is hollywood going to do? i put that question to entertainment 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 in 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're willing to let the straight don't. 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. you think that, you know so many, these people, their livelihood depend on being paid in to see that 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. i mean, when they are going to be impacted by this of, you know, how our viewers, how are they going to feel the effects of the, you know, customers who have subscribed to streaming services, for example, or maybe go worse. i mean, when are they going to notice something? still? 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 were having a field 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. we know that the use are calling for better pay better working conditions, but what makes is 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 to 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 they get paid if 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 card and they still have credit and that they're still being used. otherwise,

it could cut into like half of what they're making when it comes to actors. you know, with the greatest part, i think i've heard back run after saying this morning on television is it often times they come in and they have no lines or very few lines at 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. they 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 would use it in perpetuity. and that's hard for them to hear. 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. to that was entertainment journalist gauging matthews, they're reporting from los angeles. back here in europe, bella russo says that the fighters from the russian mercenary group wagner,

are working as instructors at the military range south of the capital mintz. the defense ministry released this video that shows wagner fighters training local forces. wagner, you may remember played a key role in the ukraine offensive, but it launched a short rebellion to top of russia's military leadership before backing down. last month. wagner, leader, you have guinea, pre goshen agreed to move his forces to build a roof as part of a deal to end the revolt, his whereabouts. they remain unknown. television and leader alexander lucas cinco says that she helped broker that the earlier i asked about your analysts konstantin . a go to what he makes of the videos that were released by the bruce's 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 shocked. video was shots, all location in a c poverty, a small location, and the others bought. what cannot be done. this gets you 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 the box right above the suppose the legit wagner. a group fights us army in mosques, but of the 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 will see 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 be a little box official certification. in that, i'll exec deluca shame because belgium and so for that matter with you up with is russia, means 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 trading below roofs and soldiers. i'm wondering what, what does it serve? what purpose does it serve for deliveries to show this to the world? how can it be? and lucas shank goes interest for the world to think that his forces are being trained by more scenarios. so well look, you straight to doesn't care about morals bots. what this video quotes are, is the purpose of showing that lucas franco was a real mediator. whether he wasn't not between the garden and food at 2 weeks ago, it was nearly 3 weeks ago now. and secondly, that a promises were fulfilled,

that everything is arrived. the lucas straight beside the are the that divided the fighters are going to be able to was they are in billers, that everything is, as was a range. 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 ever get 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 it is throwing up. that's another mention. yeah. which analysts goes to teenager is always causative. we appreciate your time and your analysis. thank you. thank
