and that scans the tank c a t whole. now commence it's work on this giant man right here. he is showing us how the tank is shooting at the enemy in update. oh, none of us. we destroyed the enemy fortifications which were stopping out infantry from advancing. the task was completed with finished firing and came back. so everything is fine. c, a did sack is now returning from its mission where it fired at least the 7 rounds against the enemy position near a heading back where the re low back room on call for him. hardy gun at republic, 3 police officers have reportedly died and 7 more injured in a fire fight with terrorists in russia, southern region of english asia. this unverified video footage apparently shows the

shoot out as police officers try to detain. the militants hiding in a nearby house, the militants fight back using small arms and grenades. there were 5 suspects in total with one killed yesterday in the stand off with police. local officers say the militants have been surrounded and the situation is under control. last week, the same gunmen reportedly attack the traffic belief post leaving 2 officers injured. ah, the ugandan president has called on african leaders to reject the promotion of homosexuality. he is expected to sign the anti l g b t q plus bill passed by parliament last month, which criminalizes, anyone identifying as gay africa should provide the lead to save the world from this degeneration and decadence, which is really very dangerous for humanity. if people of opposite sex stop

appreciate in one another, then how will the human race be propagated? the anti gay bill allows the death penalty for people convicted for aggravated homosexuality. the bell would allow life imprisonment for those found guilty of recruiting, promoting, and funding, same sex activities in the country. you are experts condemned the bill. what it was introduce late last month with the un high commissioner for human rights urging the you got the president not to sign the bill into law the passing of this discriminatory bill, probably among the west of its kind in the world. he's a deeply troubling development. the anti l g b t movement gain momentum menu gone with the arrival of american evangelical missionaries in the 1980s, who encourage home a full in a failed time to combat the h. i. b at demik in the country. a number of you got in preachers were brought to the u. s. for education, and upon returning became the driving force behind the criminalization ad

stigmatization of the l. g. b t q. community a pass, or an activist says the west. his attitude toward uganda looks increasingly hypocritical. it's about african people resisting the agenda of the euro, american empire in pausing l g p t on our for, we elected our members of parliament. they go to parliament. they make a law against promotional, with sexuality legitimately as a part of it with an outstanding number. oh, bipartisan support. i'm and it's done. i'm, i know the other side there you have president by did they, you know, spokesperson, yup. canadian per minute. that being bullies. this is bullies, you know, that using the western book, you know, it's a pump, just like barack obama. we see the same footprints of joe biden. we see the same from the canadian prime minister. they're using, they are

a political microphone as a bully pulpit to try me to me did africa to try and bully, you gardeners. that's just role. you can have it both ways. you can say that we want you to have democracy, make your own lows, and then when we make our own laws and that culture you come up to, oh no, no, no, you can't make that. you can't. that's just, that's just a contradiction of yourself. i'm just loud. think of them. i think it's just silly . and that's it for the our thanks for joining us for the later though to 2028. but what is the cost of it? mm. we see various celebrities jumping into the spirits and mystery from ryan reynolds aviator jen to le bron james's lobos tequila and it's easy to see why they're so

attracted to this industry where the average standard margins are at 60 percent gross. so how are the margins for these spirits so high? well, for scotch and whiskey, they're not particularly expensive to make. the glass bottle itself sometimes can be more expensive than the actual liquid, barley, yeast, grain, and water are all that you need, which comes out to only about a dollar a bottle, plus the electricity it takes to run the distillery. then you have the cash cost, which is highly variable between the spanish oak, the ex sherry barrels, etc. and this can cost anywhere from $2000.00 to $10000.00. so produced a scale, a simple bottle of scotch would cost less than $3.00 a bottle. if the liquor were to be aged, then the cost would go up, given the cost of time and the loss due to the evaporation due to the aging process . so the fancy last balls and packaging would add about another $2.00, but by far,

the biggest cost is the taxes. by law scotch must 1st be sold to an importer that then sells a model to a wholesaler or distributor. beyond just the markup, the wholesaler pays taxes and the cost of their wholesale licenses and both state and federal taxes. by the time the wholesaler actually distribute to the retailer, the retailer then puts between a 25 to 33 percent markup on the bottles, which goes to the end consumer. and that is how a bottle that actually only costs about $8.00 to produce sits on the shelf for $3999.00. and then on the other end of the spectrum, tequila has a lower profit margin, though still quite decent at around 30 to 50 percent. and currently at a rate of $28.00 pesos per kilo a truckload of a guy they needed to fill a $25.00 ton of it would cost around $36000.00. and that's just the one

ingredient on one oven load. a got a is the largest expense into keela and for a one liter bottle of traditionally made blog go to keela. the gov. i would cost about $11.33 per bottle. then when you add the cost of packaging, excise taxes, distillery fees, harvest and transportation that would add another $15.86 in the cost just to have a finished product. then when we have to factor in the markets that occur at the distributor and the retail levels, the markup can very, but it usually is between 35 to 45 percent. so that brings the entire price tag back up to $25.00 and to $0.40 per bottle. and this does not include the cost of marketing, p, r, travel expenses, sample products to give away,

or even salary. so with all of these cost included, the total cost of a bottle is approximately $35.00 before you can start. now turning a profit. so to get everything up and running, you will need to spend between $500000.00 to a $1000000.00 to start. and there are currently about 2345 different brands of tequila on the market. and 2019 alone. there were $101.00 new brand simply entering the market to fight for shelf space with hundreds more as there's always ample demand for tequila. and now for more let's go to a week. but so ciara, senior policy analyst at the institute of alcohol studies. why are the global excise taxes for liquors so expensive? and actually, why do even excise taxes exist in the 1st place? so basically, there are 3 different reasons why governments might choose to tax alco.

and the 1st one is because alcohol causes harm to other people. so we have a transaction between either the shop or the bar that selling the alcohol and the consumer. but there's what's called an extra analogy, because someone might go out and drink and drive the micro get into a fight, and they might hurt people in various other ways. and for that reason, in the same way as we might want to put a tax on carbon dioxide because it hurts the environment, we my will to produce a tax and i'll call for that reason. the 2nd reason is because governments want to prove the health of their citizens because they know of it and people will drink calm fully in this will have effect on their, on their own health and on public health care systems and stuff. the 2nd reason to protect is now called to an order in which discourage use. and the 3rd reason is

simply because our government, the to rate to raise taxes to pay for public services. other reasons why echo might be seen as one of the last kind of distorts over economically and problematic taxes and to levy in or if you're going to raise revenue. so i've done a fair bit of research looking at uncle taxes and the benefits they have. others substantial evidence to schubert raising alco taxes has benefits for and population health. and basically for every one percent you increase the price of alcohol. as a rough rule of thumb, we could expect sam drinking to fall by half a percent. and that's a downstream leads to a lower and lower health harms. hello, ross plays ations fewer debts. but kind of other big strand. my research is really looking at the relationship between our cold economy. ah,

and the kind of natural thing to do here is to link this to alcohol producers. the obvious kind of bits of the economy will be a brewers and distillers we're producing alcohol and the pumps in the bars of the supermarkets that are selling it. and so the conversation when uncle economies kind of dominates his buy, well is, is going to close to and pops and bars is going to lose jobs in these industries. and what i've done is kind of said, well, hang on a minute, the people don't drink alcohol, they will generally spend that money on other things. see how you're only looking at one part of the picture. so if alco consumption goes down and what are the gains and the other sectors and how far to build that off. so i've worked with people to do some modeling on that. um and that generally can offset a large portion of the expected losses. and if we were to say, put our taxes on alcohol. but then on top of that, the thing you have to remember is that because of the health harms of alcohol, that also has economic problems. so people turning up who work over. oh

is it is a drain on productivity? people have problems with alcohol being so sick and missing work that way. also has ambrose for productivity. it's contributor to unemployment and then come star clean most tragically. people who die early are people who are of all the other terrible things that are happening there. i'm one of the things is happening is as people who are losing from the workforce. and so once you factor in those kind of health benefits and the impact that they have on the economy, my argument is that some of these restrictions on alcohol, which might be bad news for some alco producers, might actually on net be positive for the economy or certainly not anywhere near the negative was we might fear, given all the celebrities that have now and had the liquor market, ryan ran off with his skin in so my, when is the white man car guy, sheen's neck tequila? is the liquor market really and lucrative business opportunity?

do the producers enjoy high margins, or is this simply a short term money grad? oh, i mean, as in any kind of economic market, there's always a bit of guesswork concern position going into trying to figure out whether it's going to grow or not. and this is a very different picture and in different countries. so social trends and particularly in which countries are moving towards growing awareness of the harms of alcohol, young people are drinking less. and so in the long term, i think there are definitely challenges for, for, for, for alco producers. which is why, for example, receiving kind of shifts towards a know with low alco categories. and for example, alco free beer, which is, which is more of a thing that i was before. so i think the kind of median term out certainly in rich countries is probably quite negative. but it's a case of how long do those trends come into force?

and how far is a public policy kind of supporting those trends in terms of discouraging i'll call you sir, we're trying to support the uncle industry. and it could be very different from country to country, place to place, depending on what the kind of cultural background is and what the political and economic context is. has production of the spirit exceeded demand, or will there always be ample demand growing to meet the boomy supply? yeah, i need to think of the top my head. i don't know where we are globally. but i think in a lot of rich from trees we are, it'll seem like crested the way across much of europe and the u. s. as well. i think i think that the amount of alcohol to bohemia alcala, people are consuming, it's probably on a downward shattering most countries will have fastest growing and will vary from place to place where a peak to that is different from place to place. oh lou, just because people are drinking glass isn't necessarily economically bad news if

you can, for example, and encourage people to trade out some premium products. so, drinking glass for drinking, drinking or premium products, or if people are drinking in papason bars and restaurants like where generally that will be higher margin compared to buying and buying. and it's like super markets and grocery stores in the life quickly which be lower margin. so yeah, i think overall we're probably hopefully i think from it from health perspective, hopefully coming over the crest of the wave. and but that was necessarily certainly in the short term how to mean kind of bad news for the alcohol industry. thank you so much of a quiet time and insight and when we come back, what are the hidden costs of alcohol and which includes the cost of mortality, loss of productivity, and other health care related costs. we'll look into that after the break

with ah, ah ah, ah ah ah, ah, a ah with

to what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy confrontation, let it be an arms race is on, often has very dramatic development. only personally, i'm going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful. it's very difficult arm time to sit down and talk ah, now let's talk about some of the hidden costs of alcohol. nationally in the u. s. alcohol consumption, khan society, $249000000000.00 per year. and within that figure includes the cost of mortality loss productivity, such as being absent from work. healthcare related cause for treating alcohol related injuries. and finally, crime related to alcohol consumption on an individual level. one also has to deal with a higher insurance cost. if alcohol leads to a dui one little do you,

i can increase insurance by around 300 percent or more for car insurance. and that amounts to, on average $2000.00 or more a year, depending on where you live, health and life insurance costs will also go up assuming that the insurance company even qualifies you for the insurance policy. and on top of that legal bills arising from dewey will also be costly. these stem from dui charges fixing arrest warrants, attorney fees, fines, driver's ed training, et cetera. and this will also impact your ability to find a job as most positions require a background check. one study from the national institute on alcohol abuse found that from 1999 through 2017 per capita consumption of alcohol increased by 8 percent. and the number of alcohol related deaths doubled, which many caused by liver disease. and while this figure is alarming,

the u. s. is not alone. in fact, while americans on average consume 8.7 meters of pure alcohol per capita annually, it is not the worst offender. the country with the highest rate of alcohol use disorder and alcoholism is actually hungry with 21.2 percent of the total population afflicted. this is followed by russia at 20.9 percent. bella ruth, that 18.8 percent. lot via a 15.5 percent. and then the us at 13.9 percent. and for more we have dr. charles smith, medical director recovery 1st treatment center. so what is the real cost of alcohol on society? what the latest article that i read was actually published by the thing and in the united states. here's the annual cost, $249000000000.00,

or translated to $850.00 some dollars per person living in the united states. the cost is enormous. it was 27000000 alone. 2027000000 alone in health care. call. the rest of that 249000000 loss productivity accident even could why in crime, et cetera. especially when you talk about do you dance work related lag? so very expensive. while the alcoholic beverage industry is one of the biggest industries in the world, are there actually any positive or benefits that come from alcohol? it seems like alcohol drive down productivity in paris judgments and promotes more negativity overall. there are just a couple of studies that i personally know subscribe to their finding. the

item. question how they were 5 minutes about one was moderate drinking alcohol. ready left and part does the subset of the. ready population and that moderate, so like great me about hall decrease and 3, bro, basket. accidental strokes. most of the experts that are basically debug those study. and the latest that i'm here, alcohol poison, alcohol, but this is not for human consumption. yeah. for thousands of years, humans have used it and abuse that both. but i always tell my patients, do you ever go to the doctor and he said, i think you should start very good. ok. he's definitely going to say, we want, we want you to watch the sol. we want you to watch your why watch and make them out with your blood pressure medicine course don't smoke cigarettes and then you take the progress. don't drink alcohol. how much does alcoholism affect society and is

alcoholism rising? was the good. there is a certain subset of the population, the real, i don't think i have any information to show that at the higher percent of the population than it ever was, would have certainly more attuned to it. now the diagnose the big bad we do know this of patients with alcohol use, the border in the united states only wanted can. busy ever receive, formal treat. 090 percent. don't ever get treatments and they lived on out with all the consequences of alcohol. many lives to be deep think these may be even saturday, but they have all black health consequences, liberal heart, high risk of camps that we know i'll called the actually, i level one carcinogen. but yeah, you don't see that warning. ready like we now have post that i'm figure it now.

alcohol has always been used as a social lubricant throughout human history. is there any replacements where something like alcohol or will, is always continue to have a prominent place in society despite its negative effects? quite possibly with net worth. so i wanted to tell you that there may be a anti anxiety medication for people that have. ready social anxiety, or people that may have some anxiety over speeds or meeting new people. that's want to be one of the things we keep the alcohol around for a long time. i mean, obviously we have some things that would really socialize body, but they can in the bid, worse than alco, value back. com. that's good. i deal with those ally lubricant for sure. neither would cocaine or methamphetamine or heroine that example. so most people

that use cannibals don't necessarily become more social if anything they become anti social or for the words down came probably around a $1000.00. so i don't know if it will actually replace that part. people may finally come to the conclusion that many of us in recovery have their life simply better without mind. all 3 was patients. i use this little playing all the time that i borrowed from the old army commercial be all you can be. what i tell patients, or you to be happy as healthy as part of that you can be. it's without my doctor and left the brilliance of a computer and body that we have been born with laura and do what it meant to do. because all of these other substances, particularly alcohol, are here and sometimes they'll go along with me and that makes sense. there. the

other time they have such a tight in grain with reward, with excess was celebration. it's like, well, how can i ever have fun? how can i ever be wanted to win the super bowl and not pop the champagne model? but i think through education we may find out that the world is black and smarter. cooler air blow prevail, and people will stop breaking this. in fact, i don't know when that will happen though. while the alcohol like beverages industry continues to boom, for now, nothing lasts forever. and current studies have found that gen 0 actually drink less than their older counterparts, as they fear what will happen when they lose control and how their actions may appear on social media. as a result, they consume less than their parents. generation did as teenagers, about 20 percent, less per capita. actually, a survey found that 57 percent of jen beer said they rather go to the gym for an

hour rather than go to a bar. and 69 percent of them find heavy drinking culture. boring. 49 percent of them claim that their online image is always at the back of their mind. 41 percent of these gen the years associate drinking with the loss of control, vulnerability, exile, and even abuse. and this decline in youth drinking is widespread in most high income european countries, as well as the u. s. australia and new zealand. another reason for the shift is perhaps the agenda years have a deeper awareness of health risks given their access to the internet and social media with gen the are, is now accounting for a 3rd of the global population. the alcohol industry is adapting to young people. new preferences with things like mach tales, hearts alters heart, boucher and beer with very little alcohol. so while the alcohol industry seems to be losing its shine with the younger generation,

it's still enjoys massive popularity with the older generations for now. i'm christy. i thanks for watching and we'll see you back here next time on the cost of everything with ah, a becomes the attitude and engagement equals the trail. when so many find themselves worlds apart, we choose to look for common ground. ah,

with oh, a fresh class is there up between israelis and palestinians near jerusalem after the

i d f. raise the off the mark for the 2nd night in a row, forcing muslim worshipers out of the holy site with south african employees protests outside the u. s. embassy in pretoria, demanding fair treatment after many were tracked by a local retailer owned by the american corporation. wal mart a do.
