ah ah ah ah

ah, with this is boom, both the one bit the show you care the board to mit. i'm branch a board and i'm rachel lemons in washington and counting up china's growth has taken ahead of the government's latest crackdowns combined with supply chain shortages and extreme. whether we'll take a look at what it means, the future of the world's 2nd largest economy, plus another day. another controversy for facebook as a social media giant is speaking out against report planning there a i technology for the staff, the ongoing legal issues facing the company. then we take gp europe, where the you continue to grapple with supply chain issues and it's covered recovery. we bring you the latest coming from the head of the block central bank,

but the troubles with globalization is a lot to get to look go. and we lead the program with the latest on the economic recovery in china. we're government data shows the country experienced a slow down in the 3rd quarter as year on year growth fell more than expected. the country was hit by supply chain shortage is extreme flooding and an energy crunch that growth of 4.9 percent down from the 7.9 percent we saw in the 2nd quarter in response, a spokesperson for china's national bureau of statistics referred to the slow down caused by energy shortages as a short term issue. unless you do show with these measures being implemented, so tight supply of electricity has been, e can, the impact on the economy will subside since september, electricity generation has been growing fast or muscle to overall the tight supply of energy in short term and the impact is fallible joining us now to go further and up on this is boom bus, co host christy i. now christy,

i mean we're still seeing growth in china just not quite as much as we did in the 2nd quarter. is their cause for alarm here, given that china was the only major global economy to see growth during last year, slow down. i mean, it's slightly far alarm here because the war has been just dependent on trying to be the growth engine to drive the g d p. so the growth engine falters to live everyone else out of the economic depression that we could be. and so can major bank have already trained their full the trying to g d p forecast? now a china is getting hit or multiple front. you have these power outage is blowing on the factory because the government whitening liquidity, which is just killing the results sector. and then we have the sluggish consumer spending. so china is soothing momentum, as there's just so much dried right now with things like the overhanging dragon corona, myron rang money and also the chairs are still in effect. and now christie, the chinese government has been working to cut carbon emissions into increase its

reliance on renewable energy. but given the current conditions, could we see the government taking a step back and increase in the use of coal at least in the short term? absolutely, because it's mike and i love green tech and all where we stand currently with renewable green energy. it's just simply not there yet to supply us at the current level of energy consumption. because think about how heavily subsidized green energy is, whether we're talking about solar, wind, hydro, without the sub seen tech wouldn't even exist because they can't survive on their own and compete with fossil fuels in terms of cost. so economy of scale has not been reached yet, and the green tech to make it efficient and not to mention the technology is just not there to make it truly sustainable and reliable. because in a year like this in 2021, we had worse johnson in the u. k saying that we didn't get us when this year, so we don't have enough electricity kind of thing. we didn't get enough rain this year. so all of this is really weather dependent, which makes it very,

a very unreliable source of energy. so as much politicians like to push their agenda and that very last the goal, it's simply not feasible. the development and advancement of technology that in april green pack is not subject to the deadline of politicians, which is why this entire agenda to be percentage by 2030 and then the net carbon neutral by 2050. it's just kind of ridiculous because they're almost picking arbitrary years and dates down the road and making sure it's great to set goals. but what is it really based off? and christy, i wanted to follow up on that because you make a great point. but then why make those arbitrary deadline? why was trying to making that move? if the case is that, hey, the technology is not ready and you're looking at a country that consume so much energy. all is really well. the entire point is to set the goal and that's what i said. it's great. is that a lot of the schools? the thing is politicians. they are in tune with the entire tech sector. the tech

sector has their own roadmap and their own pipeline. they have their own objectives, their funding cost, those developmental costs, and you really can't push the development of technology until it truly becomes stable until you truly have a timeline and a plan for how to implement things. you just don't know so tech and their time like it's very arbitrary. sometimes it takes years to develop certain things and not mentioned have enough batteries. and that's a big thing with either with or when a lot of energy consumption actually get put back into the ground. it doesn't get use it gets dumped. simply because unlike oil, coal, natural gas, we simply don't have the storage capacity. we don't have the batteries to actually store the power that we generate off the very difficult to maintain storage. so a lot of technology just isn't develop yet, and politicians love to set goals. you can't tell a company, hey, and then somehow invented. i don't know how you're going to do it, but somehow invent to implement the developing by the way,

make it economical and cost efficient. it's like, you can't tell them to do it. so the political sector and the tech that are on 2 completely different ways. so it's very difficult for them to get on the same page . sure, it's great to set these very high attaining goal because we all need to go on a road map. but the way that they're implementing this is just kind of ridiculous and not realistic. yeah, that's a great way to explain it and i know that this is certainly been a year of politicians kind of setting goals all over the place. now, another aspect here is inflation. and we know that china has managed to keep inflation under control, especially when compared to other countries around the world. but at the same time, annual factory gate prices grew at their fastest rate on record, given how much the world relies on manufacturing from china. how does the recent increase stand impact the state of global supplies? especially right now all the producers price and next for us about 10.7 percent in september compared with your earlier, which is the highest rate of increase since 1995. so

a lot of this pricing fees has been caused by the rising commodity prices. i school prices intensify. and again, some, some be very ambitious goal of the carbon neutrality which put persistent pressure on the commodity prices, which is then pass downstream to firms. which is basically going to cause a don't know if that downstream but the cost and may not be passed down to the end consumer and importing nation. and as you can see now, that's how we get into an inflation. michael. and with china being the biggest manufacturer of the world, that affects will be even more so pronounced. and we will expect to see a rise in pretty much all products across the board from high tech. and i'm used to consumer staple paper towel cove. it's applied and also luxury goods. and then the worst part of all of that is that this is falling right in the 4th quarter, or consumption is supposed to be the main driver of gdp going into your. so if everything starts to get more and more expensive, but it doesn't keep pace with that of inflation,

then the consumers are going to be feeling very tight. come this holiday season when the dollar isn't going to stretch as much as it used to. certainly a lot of daycare in the world is watching what happens in china. boom, both kristie. i thank you so much for your time and insight on this one. and get new claims about facebook have emerge claiming that the company's a algorithm cannot detect hate speech as well as the company can play claims. that is to say, facebook's vice president of integrity, guy rosen, wrote in a blog post sunday that the prevalence of hate speech on the platform had dropped by 50 percent over the past 3 years. but the wall street journal now reports that internal documents show that 2 years ago facebook reduce the time that human reviewers focus on hate speech complaints and made other adjustments that reduce the number of complaints that in turn helped create the appearance that facebook's artificial intelligence had been more successful in enforcing the company's roles

than it actually was. so joining us now that this guys is boom, both co host an investigative journalists, been swan. now been, i know we were shocked to hear that facebook has not only a president, but also a vice president of integrity here. and now we're learning. in addition to that, that facebook's employees found in march that the company's a i, systems were not removing very much content that violates its rules. correct? yeah, it's a pretty interesting and look at all really comes down to money. so basically, 2 years ago, back in 2019 facebook had a lot of human moderators who were looking at this content and then remove it. and they said, we're going to move away from that. we're going to move to ai, artificial intelligence or user algorithms. and those algorithms will be able to detect and flag, i hate speech and violent content, etc. the problem is, according to employees, it's not getting them. in fact, employees are saying that only about 3 to 5 percent of all of the hate speech on the face for platform is actually being caught by the algorithm. what's really

interesting is that facebook's own engineers say it's actually less than that. they say only 2 percent is actually being caught by these algorithms, but it's about money. it's a lot cheaper to run the algorithms then to hire people to do this. and so that's what facebook is move. do they claim that it's working really well, but the engineers and the employees say it's not right. and if you're claiming to be one of the world's biggest tech companies, maybe you want to make sure you have technology that does the job. but who am i the facebook, the mark secretary also that he believed facebook a i would be able to take down quote, the vast majority of problematic content before 2024. it's part of facebook claims that the journals reporting is wrong and that the detection rate was above 97 percent. so how do we know which side is correct here? well, we don't really know which site is correct and as, as i said, facebook engineer say it's 2 percent face of management says it's 97 percent employees a. it's only 3 to 5 percent. we actually don't know what that, what the truth is, but here's the problem that a lot of the,

the critics of facebook i've been saying is that when you ask for specifics, how do you get to your conclusion? when you go to the company and say, okay, you're saying 97 percent of all this content is cost. show us how you're coming up with that figure. they go silent, they don't want to say how they're getting to that number and that's problematic, right? if you are the, this big technology company and you're saying our, our, the works and here's how it works. and this is the end result, a very definitive not percent of this content that we're trying to since around is getting censored. and then someone says, show us how you reach that conclusion and you can't, or you won't. that's a problem. but i also want to say this, i think a lot of what we're seeing right now with this slow drip drip drip into the wall street journal is not necessarily a good thing. as you guys know, i'm not a big fan of facebook. i don't like mark zuckerberg, i don't like a lot of what the company does, but the game that's being played right now, that essentially says facebook's an awful company. and therefore, the answer is for government to take control of the algorithms or some outside

group to do that. that seems to be every time we do one of these stories, that's essentially what's being called for is that facebook is not competent to manage its own systems. i agree, there's a lot of problems with facebook, but i don't think the answer being prescribed to give it over to some regulatory agency to run the algorithms is the answer. then the question then becomes, what is the wall street journal and getting out of this, right? because they're sitting there doing all of the sort of in that the reporting is it just that they're getting the clicks on it and that kind of goes in at least makes them look good. i don't think that's the case. listen, i don't have any, any proof of this is simply my opinion here, but i believe the wall street journal, whoever is pushing these stories out has a motivation. and i think that motivation is to ultimately see mark sucker berg no longer in charge of the algorithms that facebook or the way the company has run. look again, i have a big disagreement with the way, but facebook does a lot of what it does. but i don't think the problem is, is that they're not sensory enough content. i think they're sensory in the wrong kinds of content. they're very good at sensory and political speech,

but they're not very good is censoring murder videos and people having oregon transferred and stuff. that's the truth. one of the complaints about this a i system is that it doesn't seem to be catching very graphic videos. it's not catching content being put up by drug cartels, but it is catching on the other hand, somebody who says something that's labeled as violation of community guidelines or medical misinformation like they're very good at catching political stuff. they're just not very good at catching truly harmful content. like when drug cartels are posting or human smugglers post on facebook, the algorithm seems to ignore that content. so again, i don't think the problem is necessarily there isn't enough censorship. it's that is being pointed in the wrong direction. right. and certainly there are people across the country who don't like mark zuckerberg don't like facebook for the same time. we don't have to remember that whatever happens to that tech giant will end up impacting the rest of the internet as they go along. boom, bust bends on. thank you so much for your time on this one. thank you. now for

a follow up to a story we have been covering a last minute deal was made saturday to avoid a strike of film and television crews, which would have seen nearly $60000.00. behind the scenes. workers walk off the job representatives from the international alliance of feeder stage employees and the studios and entertainment companies which employ them, reached an agreement for a 3 year deal before mondays deadline. despite an agreement, it's still faces a vote from its members. now, meanwhile, monday mark the 5th day since the united auto workers members working for john deere went on strike. roughly 10000 workers at 14 factories across the midwest officially started their strike on thursday of last week and a bid for higher wages. deer had offered an immediate increase of 5 to 6 percent, but union members rejected the offering, pointing to the companies, estimated $6000000000.00 and profit this year. along with the skyrocketing inflation we've seen over the last year. now, as farmers throughout the country,

worry of the impact the strikes may have on them. the company as staffing has factories with non union salaried employees right now. and rachel, now if you are a union member, you would call these people who are the non union salaried. workers, they would be called scabs. but the problem is, is when you put people who are not trained to do a job, this is part of what a union really does. it's beneficial to a company, they make sure that people who are trained on the right machines and things they're ready to go. they know what they're supposed to do, and labor porters were already reporting a late last week and that there were 2 or 3 different incidences. that happen inside of these factories when these non union workers were actually working. oh my goodness. and i know we've talked so much about the supply chain and talking about how john, dear farmers, i mean we're talking about instrumental pieces of our supply chain. you would hope that they would get something worked out, especially when they're talking about a possible 5 percent raise. and then at the same time, we're talking about 13 year high when it comes to inflation,

i mean everything is marked. right. and i mean, they're looking at, they're saying you're making a profit. this is our moment to shine. and like we talked about last week, we did this story. the real thing is, this is a big labor union movement. and yes, deliveries are working together saying you strike will strike with all this stuff. is just everybody kind of coming together and seeing the same thing happening right now. prices are going up, wages are staying the same. profits are being made at the top level and they're saying, hey, we have an opportunity here. we can actually capitalize because, like i said, or like you said, the farmers who are concerned that this could really affect them on the supply chain issues. they're saying, hey, this, this is really gonna hurt us, getting into the frustration is being felt truly all around. absolutely in time now for a quick break. but when we come back to the head of the european central bank to the globalization of the block has made supply chain disruption even work. on the other side, we'll dig into the issue as we had a break here, the numbers of the close news

mm. i this financial survival guide. daisy, let's learn about, feel out. let's say i'm a true i can hear it from grief on banks of the fight. wall street prod, thank you for helping with enjoy. that right. fell out. it will definitely very nice. been decade since the fall of spain's fascist regime,

but old wound still haven't tailed with because with nickel fee to market people to me said, oh, said calling me on the bus at the station you know with thousands of newborn babies, what toned from their mothers and given away and forced adoption, they only bought about a faster than my own robots. i feel it. to this day mothers still search for grown children, while adults look in hope for their birth parents. welcome back. the global eyes, nature of the european union's economy, puts it more at risk during the supply chain was we are currently seeing, according to the president of the european central bank. since 2000 the blocks

multilateral trade deals have helped the u double s g d p. to $14.00 trillion dollars and foster tens of millions of jobs. but i'm in the supply chain disruptions. easy be president, christine. the guard says europe must adapt during the i am after 2021 per jacobs to lecture on saturday. she added the block must use its economic weight to support reciprocated trade openness globally, while strengthen its own domestic demand to ensure against a more volatile global economy. regard also took issue with the just in time inventory management practices, where companies receive goods as close as possible to when they actually need them . thing it is highly vulnerable to systematic shocks. businesses are also concerned that the supply chain issues could take a toll on europe, the economy moving into the highly lucrative holiday season. joining us now discuss is hillary ford. she's board member with the british american business association and president of straw mark business development consultants. hillary,

i want to start with the concerns being brought board by with guard here. how has the globalization of the you trade made it more susceptible to supply chain was well, pleasure to be back with your brand. and of course, a lot of this is to do with all the trade that you'd offer china about 22.4 percent of all goods going into the you come from china. so when you have a global supply chain like that, with a pandemic, it's obviously going to have intense glitches. one of the things that's happened, of course is that if there's even so much as one worker in a chinese factory or a chinese port that is testing positive cove, it the entire factory of the entire port to shut down. so that has caused immense amounts of not just glitches, but also hold ups. and then you mentioned prior to this segment, you mentioned about the hollywood potential strike in the u. s. at least $176.00 strikes this year. 17 alone in october. so i can't speak to the exact number in the across the you, but a lot of it has been due to these labor issues as well. so she's talking about just

in time practices. there are also a lot of labor issues and those have contributed as well both and so it's sort of a confluence of both things where it seems like there's kind of those glitches and those frustrations really all around. now i know when it comes to this sort of just in time approach to the inventory, is there anything they can do to get away from that right now? well, i think your business is on ever going to do anything that's less cost effective and less efficient. however, if you look at what the german manufacturing industry is going to particular with regard to semi conductors on the volkswagen c, e o has been basically lab boston, this whole situation because of course they can't produce cars and it's not due to their lack of planning is that they didn't know about the semiconductor shortage in advance and the ceo, siemens, barbara hampton. she's also said, look, this is not a supply economy anymore. it's demand economy, there is intense demand. so now to answer your question directly, all one can do instead of just in time, is to basically analyze one's entire pipeline and say, where have those actual get you to code?

who are the supplies and the where, where is that happening? like too many goods coming from china, you capital your eggs in one basket, and i think that is what's happened. it's been too dependent, a one country for cheap labor and for cheap products. and so all of the, obviously the margins of these companies have done very well on the profit side, but now they've suffered from it. so i think you're gonna find a lot of companies saying instead of globalization, let's go back to localisation and let's see what we can source products closer to home. they might still want to sort of like a just in time approach, but they might want to sort of fit more locally. i think that's what you're going to see across europe and across across the u. k. well, natalie is make it easier because you will have less transit time was. you will also be a little bit more easily communicating your issues for sure, and that's help with local businesses. they go to a local station. and now we've often talked to you obviously about the prospects that economy in the u. k. and it seems like when you look at this and her kind of rain, the alarm about globalization isn't the kind of what got to send to breakfast in

the 1st place. they were saying we want more autonomy in our trade in our economy. i actually find it somewhat hydronic the all the global as to now land boston globalization. because yes, there are many issues with many issues that make it not work. so with regard to the u. k, of course, yes, the more trade deals that the u. k. does out of the autonomy that they now have, the more they're doing the opposite of what it just said, they're not putting all the eggs in one basket, the diversifying that going across the globe. the you isn't doing the same kind of trade deals. in fact, the u. k is now starting up negotiations with mexico looking to do a massive trade deal with mexico. and in fact, the u. s. need to look out for this because there's going to be so many trade deals that you case made. they'll be back to the table as a fall top negotiator with the us naval war before for the exactly, the reason you just mentioned bread autonomy means autonomous decisions. right now we've got about a minute left. i want to bring up sort of a counter argument to that, which is what we heard recently from french finance minister, bruno lemaire, he told the b, b, c, that leaving the has essentially made it worse for the nation. or do you make that

the frenchman? what you expected to say that people say reported that what you for going to say prospects, it was really good and we will get to that is what he's going to say. but of course, he's going to say that he has not got the same amount of trade treatments going on, and he's not able to do that. and the g d p actually for the u. k. better that of the e u in august. a lot of that was due to the services sector, opening up and within the u. k, but they better that you hillary ford, which of the british american business association. thank you so much for your time, the touch of brand, rachel. and finally, we have an update for you on that russian film crew that made it their mission decrease. the 1st ever movie filmed in space, they made it back safely. land in context on after spending 12 days at the international space station, the actress and director involved were accompanied on their return by a season ca not who had been at the i assess for 191 days, bringing his overall total to $531.00 days in space, the crew film themes for their upcoming movie, the challenge which

a doctor traveled the space to treat a sick patient. now this is fascinating, this, this is played out. i mean, we see so many movies that say they take place in outer space, but this one actually does. do you think this is just the beginning? i think it is just the beginning, i believe. and i may be making this up completely off the top. my head, but then tom cruise say he also want to do go at one point. i mean, i'm sure for those actors to that have done this sort of verse the, this where it's very space like they're now looking at what these astronauts have done and saying, well, wait a 2nd. i was, we get up there what an experience next. stop, rachel, i've heard it and i'm not a 100 percent. sure. we'll have to check with the boss. boom, boston space that i get out there may be off, although i think that's it for this time. you can catch boom. bizarre demand on the portable tv app available on smartphones and tablets. google play in the apple app store by searching portable tv or any of those tv can also be downloaded on samsung, smart tv, and roku devices,

or simply check it out at portable dot tv. well see you next time with what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy even foundation, let it be an arms race is often very dramatic development only personally and getting to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very difficult time time to sit down and talk is your media reflection of reality

in the world transformed what will make you feel safer? isolation community. are you going the right way? or are you being that with direct? what is true? what is great ah, in the world corrupted, you need to descend. ah, so join us in the depths or remain in the shallows. ah ah, rather briskly certified, but also within the daniels purely with the basilica with just was i just blue say that
