by no means the 1st time that the senior american politician has called for a sort of, you know, the destruction of russia. but it's getting pretty green. and it's, it's sort of a granular nature and actually call, you know, being gleeful about the death of russians and russian soldiers. of course, we haven't seen any combination of, of ukrainian crimes against russian prisoners of war. any sort of intonation that russia has breached any rules of calm, but, you know, the western media is all over. but on this occasion, we're seeing a blind eye being turned in the west. so there's a lack of comp, a condemnation, and previously done. we've also had even calls for the assassination of president proved by mr. graham, and we are, can you imagine a senior russian veteran politician calling for the assassination of a president boynton openly, what the reaction would be in the west. we can actually have a look at some of these threats that have been made come from the us towards russia . the only way this ends is for somebody in russia to take this guy out. you

wouldn't be doing your country a great service in the world, a great service. i don't agree that we can't get him and i think he knows that you can ask cast them soul of money in a run. what happens when we decide somebody is a threat to the us? i like the structural path we're on here. as long as the way up ukraine with the weapons, they need an economic support. they will fight to the last person. so you can see these traps out of the sort of la carte attitude into western media in the us in particular. they don't seem to be diminishing and i think us this long and moved it and wanted ukrainian offensive comes the attacks on belle grove are going to see more more of this acceleration of this type of rhetoric in the, in the weeks and months to come. when we are raised at the story with a full my pentacle and security policy analyst of michael, i'm a luke. now he believes the remarks by the senate to reveal washington's true students will have a listen for yourself. and i would say it's the unspoken goal of, of this,

for as far as the, the fact that we even have this which launched by elements within the, by the administration of problem elements such as your conservatives, such as victoria newland, in particular, blinking is another one they, they, they want to contain russia at all costs, and if not, i have a regime change it. and i've even heard talk of wanting to do that to partition russia. so this is, this is the goal of some, it's not the goal of everybody. some of us like to live in peace with, with the different countries, particularly with russian. russia has a tremendous history and influence and we need, we all need to get along, but we have certain elements that want to push the american way. no matter even

through uh, military means if necessary. this is a, it's a, it's an extreme element that we have within our government. and, but yeah, right now it is prevailing the russian, the military, this week secured full control over the city of out of trouble. a bucket moves that is and they don't have to go public. however, key f has denied that russian troops have taken control of our fuel offs. the west and media is down playing the city strategic importance. it comes as you create and officials continue to call for more weapon deliveries from nato and its allies. open out the water is donald cortez is picking up the story for us. our telemachus has been liberated, ukrainian, and forces are on the back foot and key of saying it just needs a couple more $1000000000.00 worth of f sixteens to win the war. a full squadrons of f sixteens faulty a to across to exactly what we need to liberate country from the address a. needless to say, the pentagon has its doubts. 10 of sixteen's is

a $1000000000.00. you add the sustainment costs and it's another $1000000000.00. so you're talking about $2000000000.00 for 10 aircraft. the russians have 1004th and 5th generation fighters. there are no magic weapons and that's extend is not. and neither is anything else. fighting is going to continue, is going to be velocity, is going to be hard. and at some point, both sides will either negotiate a settlement, or they'll come to a military conclusion. doubting to you have definitely makes sense, considering how much ukraine's leadership has been wrong about t upset. it would never surrender or tell them up spot. lo and behold, the rushes liberated the city. it was the same story with both semen, advanced and muddy. oh, but we won't surrender, mary, you uphold. we won't surrender variable for separate and ask whether it's better to do it back because we have better positions that you should know that if you put back to better positions, it will be very costly for you to us on late. so in terms of the number of people

killed the number one most, this stuff might be by no one will surrender. but smoot will fights as much as we can. they won't take bass, which from us for sure. as for a solid dark, we will see. but even if we imagine they take solid dark and bad mood, what will it change? that's just one of many areas in which kate of seems to be completely detached from reality. like the apparently impending uprising against vladimir putin in russia. ukraine and its media are constantly trying to push, despite the fact that a lot of air pollutants approval rating exceeds 80 percent. and there's the super high stop ukrainian spring counter offensive, which so lensky says, still needs more time. but according to the u. s. key, i've had everything it needed over a month ago with what we already have. we can go forward and i think be successful . but we'd lose the lots of people. i think that's an acceptable. so we need to

wait. we still need to beat small time. hi, i'm absolutely confident that we have delivered the material they need and we will continue to work to support their operations. at the same time, we've got some ukranian officials echoing the landscape please for more weaponry and others saying the counter offensive is already begun. we will continue to prepare for accounts are offensive the soonest. we are ready with the support of our allies who supplies with a high level artillery, sufficient ammunition battle tanks and armored vehicles. we will start discounts are offensive. it's an intense war on 1500 kilometers of border. but the actions have already started. assuming we are already witnessing ukraine's long awaited counter offensive throwing more expensive nato military equipment into the fire is unlikely to make a difference. but i keep them coming. probably that's just about it for now. here on off the international. thank you very much for sharing your time with us here at most. go any and all the stories we cover. you can always get the latest updates

anytime you like. you know, the website, it's on, so you don't the, [000:00:00;00] the hi, acceptance and i'm here to plan with you whatever you do. you do not watch my new show. search like why watch something that's so different. whitelisted all opinions that he won't get anywhere else. welcome to planes or do have the state department c i a weapons makers, multi $1000000000.00 corporations. choose your fax for you. go ahead. change and whatever you do. don't want my show stay main street because i'm probably going to

make you uncomfortable. my show is called direction, but again, you probably don't want to watch it because it might just change the way the

they call the 19 pandemic have left us with a couple new habits and workplace trends like work from home policies. as remote work became the norm for most people. while that 1st the seems like a net positive for most remote work also has its costs to whether money comes out of your salary for a new desk setup for your shouldering a more expensive utility bill. and then on the far end of the spectrum, you have ceos who have now banned from the work from home and expects employees to be in the office. so what is the real cost of working from home? i'm christy, i'm. you're watching the cost of everything we're today. we're going to be examining the pros and cons a work from home. and is this trend good for workers or employers? the working from home has many benefits, including saving time on commute, which is

a big one. and us one way commute on average is 27.6 minutes, which means that it takes nearly an hour for most people to commute both ways each day. keep in mind, this is an average number and there are those community as far as 2 hours. one way each day in certain metropolitan areas of the country. meanwhile, in china, the average one way can new time in beijing reached 48 minutes, which was the highest among china. the cities with the largest can new times in the world, including logos, nigeria, at the very top, with an average a 66 minutes commute, followed by san jose costa rica with 64 minutes. los angeles is close behind at 61 minutes. not to mention the crowds and the rush during commuting in india 23000000 passengers. can you by train every day with some hanging onto the sides of the

train as there is usually no room for everyone on the actual train. another great benefit of working from home includes having greater flexibility with your schedule, which is especially helpful if there are children in the household. this saves the employee money that would otherwise be spent on transportation, gas and child care. money is also saved when eating lunch at home and not having to spend on work clothes and dry cleaning all the time. many remote workers have the reported increased productivity due to working from home. it also allows for more quality time with the family, as there is more face time and no wasted time on commute. and this flexibility is extremely important for mental health and happiness of employees, as it is better for the work life balance, something that is extremely important to the younger generation. and perhaps one of the biggest benefits is that working from home gives one the ability to live wherever they want to. not because they have to live close to work. this usually makes the living situation cheaper because they're no longer stuck to

a metropolitan radius. and more enjoyable as there is more space outside of work. so now let's bring in j jones president of all ways on p r, who is 100 percent working remotely. so j, what percentage of employers had work from home programs before the pandemic? and how about now, after the pandemic? you know, well, the thing about it is before the pandemic. your home was a place for relaxation and eating and diety. but during the pandemic, your home became a place to hustle and bustle. because more more people start to work from home and it got busy. so you had to start carting all spaces for us is if you had let you can't eat in the living room because you don't, you're not seeing me. you can't work in your living room because the dog is the wife is bad at tvs. the everything you use to relax and shell is there. so then you have to find the space, a guess, room of the

a kitchen and you have the kind of cut that place off, you know, because you couldn't get work done. people do like to work from home, those that now the thing employers actually like having a work from home policy or do they perceive work for a home employees as less valuable and less productive? well, the problem is, um, you want a happy healthy work place? no matter what, so the toys, so mine have a, you know, the work from home, the w, f. m, from home, as long as this communication going on. there are times when they feel that the only time works start to decrease with the work from home is as far as e mails don't go answer. there's a long pause. people take time away without letting the employee as know, but the policy now as an employer myself,

is that you want people to be happy. you want to bring the stress down so much if you're going to work from home. but communication is a search, it is absolutely paramount. and do you think that a lot of a workplace culture and commodity is detrimental for companies in the future? well, you know what? yeah, i understand that. no, the, the, the, the, the water cool little conversation is not as important. but what is cool issue is that technology has caught up with working from home. so you can see it so as not as detrimental is a sound, you know? yes, we want to brainstorm a lot of times, it took me a long time to get used to working from home. i started in los angeles, i'm used to go into the office having a water cooler conversation, having a laugh around the coffee pot in the morning and so forth of that nature. but now, you know, do that technology is caught up the better devices. so we can communicate, we can do like we're doing now,

we could tele work and we could communicate zoom in and so forth. so that's okay. as long as technology come up and you have to reset the culture, the word culture has to be reset. so therefore, you know, my generation and i'll pass generation now i know i need to, i need to talk to joe and bob and susie. now when you and i, we don't need to talk to jay or roxie anymore, really. okay. i'll text you, you know there's a zoom in and know that x amount of time be that be on time and smile. and yet how much money does an average person save working from home then if they were to work in the office? well, there's 2 falls to that question. the employees are not necessarily losing money because the employees want you to be like said, happy healthy stress free via the employer wants you to be those that they're probably actually saving money. you know,

they're saving about $5000.00 on just the transportation. you know, the commute, your tickets, your monthly passes, however you drive in the parking, etc. use a book. what you're missing. that is what employees the employers, phones are trying to do. i'm not doing it per se, i just try to do nice things as well. you know, i may send a flower or a basket or something like that. but the corporations, especially the ones that once you with the business, like the finance you cost and google's and some of the big tech bar, they're adding gyms. they add a community work space as they're added shift. they're adding bar missed for as they're like having a starbucks in that they're buying you lunch is, you know, they're doing all these days to entice you to come back so that you do have this sense of, oh, i love the network and it's better than leaving my house because what happens is, you get to, you know, means you get lazy, but you can lose some of the skills,

like in our business for instance, you know, other words used to, you know, zooming in on those interviews. now, the television industry and the motion picture of industry, they want you back in the studio and you know, i used to get, oh, i got it from my. i feel like we was saying earlier, like a, do you're right that you're looking for can were you looking to look at my boss tomorrow? so there are some skills that kind of be that you need the policy by coming back into the workplace. so that's why employees do want that to come back. thank you so much day, but please stick around. j will be joining us after the break. and when we come back, we will be discussing what are the true costs of working from home and what the employee is lose when choosing to work remotely. we'll have more after the break.

the news will be able to be as believe that license a full 2nd that will be is ups and downs india. before the break, this was the richest nation with the highest gdc into work. and why did the 100 years of british truly bring it to a dis below of some 50, attracting the sleep study? it's banking and give us no deeper party. they have no right to be my property. my. i don't, my god, they went through all of our big spaces, i was see, could spaces off. sam pointed out the spaces inside. the wood lute also is i can the wood, which is now closer to the english,

the big city. so quite selling lead. even the, in the words, has been looted into the english lexicon. the russian states never is as tight as i'm one of the most sense community best. most all sun set up the in the system must be the one else calls question about this, even though we will then in the european union, the kremlin mission, the state on the rush of funding and supports the r t spoke next. even our video agency, roughly all the band on youtube tv services for what question did you say for a request to check

the song got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy on foundation. let it be an arms race based on offense. very dramatic, the only personally, i'm going to resist, i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very difficult time time to sit down and talk. welcome back to the cost of everything. while working from home has right many benefits. there are just as many negatives. there's a distinct lack of social interaction as communication with managers and co workers isn't the same one conducted through a screen. there's

a lack of chit chat where friendships, commodity and bonds are formed in a natural office setting. as such, there's less of a work identity and office culture that usually bonds teams that have to work together. many who work from home, expressed feeling lonely and also misunderstood. edison, it is difficult getting the right tone through digital communication without body language or other cues. and for some working from home means more distractions at home that they have to cater to constantly. and that makes concentrating very difficult. the lack of a schedule also leads to on discipline, schedules and deadlines. managers are not present and there's no social pressure to appear busy when there's no one looking over your shoulder. so a tremendous amount of self discipline is required to not waste time on social media. there's also the cost of setting up a home office which requires space and materials that 1 may not have access to. and

these home offices can be costly, especially if it requires special technology and faster internet service. and this was a big problem at the beginning of the pen demik as learning how to use these messaging . and telecommunication platforms like slack or zoom was a big challenge. and even if they could use it, many didn't have the required internet bandwidth leading to many frustrated dropped calls, miscommunications, and other and efficiencies, other amenities that are usually add an office, things like free lunches, access to office, gen game room breaks and holiday celebrations. little perks that disrupt the routine, make the day more enjoyable, are no longer there. as such, having the motivation to succeed in advance and your career becomes more difficult when the routine becomes mundane, doing the same thing every day with no positive interruptions from colleagues. workers are less creative,

as many ideas are formed from spontaneous interactions and brainstorming over coffee. there is also less face time with managers which can affect how bosses and others perceive you at work. if you're not in the office and others are. man andrews may be unintentionally biased against you, where contributions aren't noticed or appreciated as much by your team. and finally, there is no physical separation between work and be sure time making the shift to post work relaxed ation mode that many take for granted more difficult. and far more let's bring in again, j. jones president of always on p r. and so j, what industry profits the most from work at home? well, i think the industry, the profit, the many industries are changing like medical industries are changing to work at home. um, so financial industries are changing. you know, the banks are changing, you could do some of the stuff at home, you're ads. and yet, even though i was

a little bit on my ad just now the, you know, those firms are changing the most. it allows you to tell a work, you know, uh, but they are industries that do struggle with legal industries. you know, some doctors still have to make a hospital appointment of the movie industry, you know, is not really able to tell of work as much or the entertainment industry to show business industry that i'm it. you can tell i can, i can call a client and book them. but now the trend is becoming more that we're leaning back into studio. so this is tricky manufacturing banking there and profiting from uh, remote work. and what industry is working from location? absolutely, necessarily have the least amount of remote work flexibility. right, right. because money is the big issue. you know, listen, if your firm, for instance, do you personally i personally,

we probably say at least 5000 on just transportation. but if you take vacation and work and, and time off, you say more but of the corporation, this saving hundreds, but they're not valuing that no more paper products, no more cost. the no more water that, that, that adds up to hundreds and hundreds of thousands of dollars in some cases if you have like $4500.00 employees let the wall street companies, morgan chase some of these big for this a limousine. c n. as david, probably a $1000000.00 in cost services alone, but, but the employers, uh, you are not or not, you know, you and i, let's just say we're saying we're definitely earning, you know, saving the money. we don't, we, the company that the community is extinguish. you know, get up to do your exercise and you jump into the jump on the phone. and do you

think there is productivity and benefits? last one, there's no in person interaction amongst colleagues. and is company culture and a strong timor out built by social interaction, a necessity in the workplace? or is all of that an unnecessary distraction? that is nice, but not necessary to produce good quality work. and how exactly would you quantify something like that? i know i just really think the wall street business wants people in the office. i find that the big start of the big investment capital is they want you and i think it's a mindset more than the reasons, but they feel is a better culture. it's a better quality for getting a job for have because you have so many employees for working off the job. however, they still understand that you need to do some baby care and you can't be yes,

you can hybrid. so the hybrid program has also come into a very effective way in the job industry. i mean it's just, we're resetting the world. stress is played a big deal because frankly, many people started working remotely. do not want to go back to the office. they really want to stay at home and work is just a reduced distress. if they get a get some things done, they could, you know, baby care child care, you know, dog walk a, so forth and so on that you can really get to this level yesterday. and the bottom line is a happy life is a bad work productivity to now there are arguments on both sides with some people saying that work from home causes people to slack off, but others actually say working from home, you're putting in more hours because your answering emails are round the clock, so which one is true? well, for me, you know, i, it was more mental health. i started doing this. it was,

it was the reason i was my work at home. my w f. m. policy allow me to leave los angeles and move to new york because i wanted to come to the bigger market. so it allowed that because i was able to establish a work at home policy for me in my firm. and it was beneficial because
