please rel, smiles and hand chain. so they work miracles when you're making a movie. korea, but harris seems to have forgotten a rule as vice president is a very different one. and that is the latest small news room this morning. thanks for checking in. stop by for boom bus. next off, the break reporting for moscow, kevin o in and out t h q and the rest of the team around the same. wishing you a great day. mm. so just to talk about nasa a few years, all the money printing and mound aspect leads to countries and economies just completely shutting down. what we're saying with this is room bus to one business, so you can't afford to miss. i've been one and i may have one in washington coming

up despite an ongoing labor shortage in the united states. the nation has seen a record number of workers quit their job. well, take a look at the latest data and which industry they're being had. the hardest plus management cert, q one, a william shatner has become the oldest person to reach outer space as blue origin. new shepherd rocket has officially completed a lot. we have a report from the launch site and pack them and then china's ever grant this is it's bon payment deadline for the 3rd week in a row. we'll talk about what that means for the company and how it's impacting china's economic recovery. a lot to get through today. so let's get started. and we begin with the news conference late winds. they held by president biden, who was promising to get supply chains moving after months of goods being stuck off the port of los angeles, president bite. it says major changes will be made to get those supplies moving.

the port of los angeles will now he says, now begin operating 247 along with the port of long beach that has been doing that for a few weeks. about 40 percent, all freight interest the country through those 2 ports alone. up until now they've only been open monday through friday, 9 to 5. by keeping them open 247. this will reportedly open an additional 60 hours a week of productivity night hours. the president says are also critical because there will be less traffic on the roadways to get those goods away from the ports. i want to be clear. this is across the board commitment to going to 247. this is a big 1st step in speeding up the movement of materials and goods through our supply chain. but now we need the rest of the private sector chain to step up as well. this is not called a supply chain for nothing. this means the terminal operators, railways, trucking companies, shippers, and other retailers as well. standing in our supply chain will continue to be my

team's focus. if federal support is needed, i'll direct all appropriate action and the private sector doesn't step up. we're gonna call them out and ask them act, because our goal is not only to get through this immediate bottleneck, but to address the longstanding weaknesses in our transportation supply chain at this, pandemic has exposed our president biden also says that wal mart has made a commitment to a 50 percent increase in truck traffic during those off peak in night time hours, fedex and u. p. s. are committing to significantly increasing the amount of goods that they are moving at night, as well as when they're st. biden's that right there is not call the supply chain for nothing, right? so is there any indication that all of these steps are actually going to make a difference or a noun? so no, and here's why a couple things that are very important. number one, the 1st one, the president did not take any question, so there was no chance to follow up for reporters who were trying to ask questions . but consider this. there are 80 ships right now that are stuck out in the pacific

off of the these 2 port supported los angeles in the other port as well, long beach. so the problem is that's about a 1000000 shipping cargo containers that still need to be offloaded and get into port. the problem isn't that just that they need to get into port? it's the fact they're already ports full of the shipping containers and there's no want to take it out. so you p. s. and fed ex, he says, are now going to commit to more time. the problem is neither of those companies currently go into those ports. only wal mart does. now they said they're going to do more rain. but again, it's, there's another issue here and that is that right now the u. s. trucking association says they're about 60060000 truckers short in terms of what they need to be able to deliver those goods around the country. so it is a bottleneck problem. it's not a 11 spot problem and i think that's what we have to figure out. how do you get all of these systems in place as quickly as possible? and surely those are staggering numbers right there. and we think about how much is impacting as at the grocery store now will it's likely to become even more worse as

we continue to go on those problems at up. that's where americans are quitting their jobs. a historic rate that's according to the u. s. department of labor which revealed that a record $4300000.00 workers quit in august marketing in nearly 3 percent increase from the month before. that includes $892000.00 workers and the food service and accommodation industry, along with $721000.00 and workers in the retail sector. and around 534000 in health care and social assistance. the latest numbers come as the u. s. is already facing more than 10000000 job openings with countless questions remaining as to how the current condition combined with the increase in vaccine mandates in the workplace or affecting the future of the countries workforce. joining us out of this, yes, it all is. talk to richard. wal, host of the economic update and author of the thickness is the system. now professor, the majority of these workers that are now quitting their jobs, have been those frontline workers of the country relied heavily on over the last

year. so what do you make of the timing of this record exit? well, i think it's crystal clear to many of us that what we're seeing here is, is a fundamental historical shift with long term implications. workers who really gave a lot over the last 18 months while they were suffering a lot over the last 18 months. whether it was called it in their family or lost jobs or lost incomes, or no security about getting the job back and on and on. and on they are now trying to come back and what they have discovered, and they're telling us this every day, is that the employer, they're returning to use the time off to make the job less attractive than it was before with worse working conditions with either no income raised in wages, salary or a very small one. and in any case, arrays that was not adequate to the rising prices of food,

clothing and rentals. in other words, instead of being welcome back as heroes who work to extra, they are being asked to pile more probation now that they're back to work on top of what they suffered and they won't have it. let me give you a proof of it. if you like, here's another number that people are not noticing. we have more strikes going on. caterpillar catalogue. ah, nabisco, the symphony orchestra of san antonio, texas, the janitors at the denver airport. they're all going on strike. and for the same reasons that their brothers and sisters are going to quit their job, they're angry, they want to change, and they see in the economy, which to them looks like it's taking care of the folks at the top and leaving them in a very bad situation and they're frankly bitter and angry and that better be taken

care of, or else it is socially explosive. and it's pretty difficult to argue with that line of thinking. there's been such a focus though on americans getting back to work and we see this increasing number of companies that are now introducing vaccine mandates, sparking warnings that there could be and even larger worker shortage. we know that obviously over the weekend we had the issues with the airlines, which by the way we should say the airlines are saying has nothing to do with that mandate. but we do know that the southwest pilots union is asking for a stay on that. that workers who are working in air traffic control, there are 6000 of those workers, professor wolf who are not vaccinated. there are very short deadlines on some of this next month, december 8th, in some cases for people to be vaccinated. is that going to add to this list of workers who will be out of a job or will choose to leave their jobs in the next few weeks and months? yes, i think your point to something important, it is going to make the situation worse. i would like to clarify because i was

worried about this. i have spoken to many union leaders and they all tell me the same story. they and their members are not against being vaccinated. they don't have a problem with that. what they have is a problem with the employer not coming to them to work out a way to do this in an obvious attempt to kind of dictate to the unions who want instead that this be worked out with negotiation. that's a basic principle of union of management relationships, or it should have been as if there had been a different approach and if there were a different one now, i think you'd get through this particular problem a lot faster than just bumping heads. well, i know that when it comes to airlines like american and like southwest, they've kind of said that they were put in this spot because of what the federal government is doing because of what the binding ministration is saying in terms of vaccine mandate. so how is the government playing a role when it comes to these unions and their employers being able to kind of work

these things out, especially when it comes to getting people back into the workplace? well, you know, there was a time when the unions in the democratic party had the kind of relationship that would have made that impossible what you just described. they would have had a government bringing the 2 sides together, maybe with some government officials alongside to make it happen quicker. but they wouldn't have mandated to one side which then imposes the mandate on the other because of the long history of labor management conflict that that will reignite. so i think it's a failure on both a business and the government center in managing this and workers are pushing back . that's with the quitting that's with the strikes and now with the opposition to how the vaccination this to happen. absolutely, and it will be interesting to see exactly what kind of agreements they come to you and if they do come to an agreement, as we continue to see losses that are filed, professor richard, well,

thank you so much for your time and insight. thank you. well, an incredible morning for space flight. no doubt about that. right? it's blue origin launched. it's new shepherd 18. it's the 2nd man flight for the company. by the way, we brought you that launch live on our t america and portable tv aboard the flight star star trek and wholesome rti america. i don't understand william shatner who at 9 years old, made history by becoming the oldest person ever to go into space. correspond ashley banks has more from van horn, texas. here in van were in texas. and if you look at just beyond me, you will see a rock at a blasting off into space carrying william shatner with 3 scraps call new shepherd for is now embarking on an end 11 minute mission and will travel 62 miles and cross the carman line which is an internationally recognized boundary of space. death be those founder blue origin invited shatner to take part in this mission. shatner is also joined by 3 others. blue origin, vice president of mission and flight operations. audrey powers. gandhi buyers,

the co founder of the medical research platform, metadata solutions, and now so researcher, turn tech entrepreneur, chris, motion, mules. there's a great number of star trek fans in texas residents who have traveled to van horn to capture this moment. they are more than excited to finally ordinance the launch . it was originally scheduled for tuesday, however, due to high winds, the flight was delayed until today. we just heard the sonic boom, which means the spacecraft will begin descending rapidly. you can see shatner in the other passengers descending by way of parachute. and there you have it folks, this mission have made shot, are the oldest man to ever reach the space. this is a 2nd mission from blue origin, and you'll be those took part in the company's 1st launch with other passengers. many say that days is re shaping the small town and bringing tourism to van horn. i'm sitting in taxes that many people haven't never heard of. i have a feeling, this will not be the last phase one. we see coming from van horn. i'm ashley banks

reporting in van horn, texas. and with so much bye around today's historic blue origin launch, you may be a surprise that not everyone's feeling the same excitement from lawsuits to workplace injuries and reports of mandatory overtime. amazon has come under fire for its treatment of its own employees. are te correspondence. i have a jury following the story and joins us now with the latest via what can you tell us? the today was no doubt another big day for jeff bezos, blue origin made it 2nd successful human launch into space, all paid by his thriving company, amazon, which has made bases a very rich. in fact, basis was v, which was person in the world with a net worth of $189000000000.00 until this week. when he lost the 1st spot to learn mosque, who has a net worth of $224000000000.00. and like school yard kids must made sure baze. those didn't forget that on monday year,

apply to retweet from baze those with emoji, showing a silver metal with the number 2 on it. but that might not be bays those lee's worries right now, because while today's slide was successful, it's not all good news for blue origin, which is facing plenty of scrutiny. so about 2 weeks ago, a group of 21 current and former employees are blue origin. publish and as a speaking against what they described as a very toxic workplace and year parts of what they said. and i quote, if this company, culture and work environment are a chemical aid for the future. jeff bezos and visions we are headed in a direction our flex, the worst of the world we live with now, and sure, and sorely needs to change. many of those who signed off on this essay also said that they wouldn't fly on the rocket because it was in

a safe. now that is not all being to an investigation by cnbc blue origin is experiencing a high turnover rate losing hundreds of personnel. jess, this year then there is a blue origin lawsuit that's a challenge. nasa decision to award the moon landing contract award only to rival company space x. now initially, nasa promised to offer multiple contracts then in april decided to award just one contract to space x as worth $2900000000.00. and that didn't sit well with base those. plus, there is a legal findings obtained by the virgin, which nasa is attorneys call blue origins, ill conceived after the space company try to put a $5900000000.00 price tag on their lewin. i lunar lender bid, and finally nasa is accusing blue origin and i coat of threatening to destroy the

once in a lifetime, momentum to prioritize its own fortunes or that of nasa the united states and every person alive today who dreams to see humans exploring world beyond our own now those humans, nasa is referring to is still have to pay at least $500000.00 a seat for the ride. now also keep in mind there's are their grievances coming from amazon's warehouse workers. many of them nationwide complaining about being pressured to work faster and longer hours and describing their work environment as toxic that only got worse by the pandemic, because their productivity increased with more people ordering deliveries to correspondence, i haven't, or thank you. well, time now for a quick break, but when we come back, the ever grand saga continues as one of the most indebted companies in the world, missus. another deadline will discuss what it means next. and as we go to break,

here are the numbers that the clothes shoes mm. with join me every thursday on the alex salmon. sure. i'll be speaking to guess what the world politics sport business. i'm show business. i'll see you then. oh,

it though. but oklahoma, i think i could, i see what i believe we did well uh, i bought a dial to some other company did on your quote, but i don't recall additions to athletes and movies, dos musicals does it seems every big maybe the world has been here with school oh wish the budget when you get the go but i need to nash with give me a glove. with said basil makes dreams come true. every one who falls in love with people. look, let me just welcome back in the face of an ongoing energy current that is taking its toll on

europe and asia. russia is again denying allegations that it is using energy as a weapon. a group of the lawmakers has gone as far as to call for an investigation into the russian energy giant gas prop. as they allege that moscow is behind the skyrocketing natural gas prices, in an effort to push for the certification of the north stream to pipeline. however, russian president putin argued that europe is not paying attention to reality during an energy conference on wednesday, he noted that russia has always fulfilled his obligations to europe, even at the height of the cold war. russia, as deputy foreign minister also said in an interview that moscow wants to work with europe to achieve energy security. and he revealed that gas problem has already started using supplies from its own reserve and in that time to help stabilize the market. morgan stanley has upgraded china's property sector too attractive, which is surprising, considering how worried investors are, as they are closely watching, to see what happens with ever grant. the world's most indebted company because it

might still default. and if it does, whether or not there will be contagion u. s. investment banks, that it believes that policy easing of the property sector looks likely to kick in, which will support chinese real estate stocks that spring and boom, us co host, christie. i enjoyed both my and her business school to discuss this with us and to sniff out what is true and not true didn't go out to start with you. home cells in china, they are weighed down. that's not really surprising. in part because of restrictions on lending as well as these worries about developers financial health. it seems like china is trying to reset its entire housing industry here. i believe the statement was to be about living and not about speculation. is that working? well, the real estate sector in china represent, sorry, 5 trillion dollars in value. that's an extraordinarily, a high percentage of the chinese economy. and you're right to say that a residential housing sales are off about 20 to 30 percent

a year on year. the fear is that the ever grand situation, which by the way, leaves about 1600000, ah, ever grand customers waiting for properties that haven't yet been completed. that this is going to cause some contagion across the chinese real estate market. drive down values, drive down, consumer demand, and therefore bring other property developers into financial difficulty as well. so it's a serious situation, and the question is whether or not we've had bought them and whether or not the central government in beijing can make their measures take measures that will a levy the possibility of this contagion taking hold. now christie is being reported that ever grand just misses 3rd round of bond payments and as many weeks

intensifying market fears over contagion, as we noted. now, is this a case where every brand is too big to fail? i don't think anything is too big to fail because by saying that you're essentially saying that no risk is too great because at the end of the day, you'll just get a free bail out. so it's just like a perpetual get out of jail free card. so it's a very dangerous mentality to have to just continuously rely on the government for these bail us. and china doesn't want to create that dependency. so i don't think the market thinks it's too big to fail either, which is a good thing. it's trading more rationally now acknowledging the risks and the possible contagion effects slowing down the global economy. so far though, the sell off a queers to be appears to be very limited to more riskier bond names. but then there's also the problem of the potential follow up. the default heard the confidence of the consumers and the home buyers, which as calls just said it makes up a very significant part of china's crucial economic growth engine. because right

now, the real estate boom is just experiencing a dramatic overhaul, speculations and prices, soria and homes became the main savings vehicles for chinese families. because nearly 3 fourths of household wealth in china is actually tied to a piece of property. so this lots of confidence in the market could spill over to lower sales of cars and appliances, further hurting the economy. and so far, beijing has been very silent on this. having vowed to no longer rescue companies that are failing. so many local officials have now been left to their own accord to respond to the growing frustration. but i don't think it's a reckoning in the financial markets right now, but the financial markets have opened up the emergency spigot to make it easier for the local banks to draw more money just in case. now speaking a possible fall out there, i mean deem quality when we're talking about ever grand. we're also learning that the electric or unit of the embattled chinese property developer said its 1st cars will roll off the production line next year is is evie division insulated from the

rest of the company? not necessarily. i think that while cause medically and superficially it's a separate division. there is a cross financing that's taking place here in the background where the profits emanating from the real estate division we're going to fund the investment in the electric vehicle division. now the e v division, let's face it ever granted, if this plan comes to fruition is going to be late to the market, it's going to be a late entrance in the e v market. they have claimed that they have the ambition to sell a 1000000 vehicles a year in china and a population of 1400000000 people. that's not an excessive number from a market share point of view. but for a late comer in the markets, i have that ambition as quite, quite significant. i'm not sure that they're going to be able to deliver on the

promise. yeah. and christy to that point, i mean, it just seems like when you have a company that we keep talking about how indebted it has all these financial problems is trying to secure outside investment. and then simultaneously, they're promising this new electric vehicle roll out, which let's face it, they're going to be problems with it. it's going to come up against certain struggles and financial issues. why are they even messing with this right now, rather than fixing their core business products? because they're doing a elan must trademark with the, with the shift in the subject. and this distraction, the techniques because you're right. the numbers are absolutely terrible for ever going. and the numbers were terrible for tesla, but we're looking here, let's show a new cyber shock production didn't reach their goals, but look here we're going to have some automated home robots now. so ever going to just taking a page on the book, same thing. we have a debt crisis, we a mis payments, but oh look we're coming out with ease next year, super exciting. so at this point, they're just going to be competing with tesla,

neo and bird ever brand so far has not actually delivered a single vehicle to their customers, but they have set very ambitious goals of annual productions to well, the crowd with their big numbers of 1000000 cars by 2025 same fans. what tesla did so confidence an ever grant is at an all time low. so i suppose it was a very good p r stunt. i think evers grant has spread themselves too thin. they've definitely has some sort of cross financing done. they've already sold bits and pieces of their e, b division before and or to generate cash flow or to meet their debt obligation. so i do think it's a very big possibility for them to actually just build the i p and then sell that entire division in order to pay down the obligations or restructure in order to survive robust, christie. i and john grow to dina. the miami herb business school. thank you both for your time and that's it for this time. we'll see you next time. ah.

oh, beautiful ocean was time. what is the middle of august? well, you've done a beautiful with lucy still don't get together because if that's something you would get them with the wound up that's mitchell sun never, ever. properties was from what's in the bottom with that sort of looks like you with a it seems to them often when he's got the westwood when is would, is so was the phillips come from from the news. ok. i live with us fast. are the same as the media has global olga slave to bring me as
