the center for strategic and international studies or see research as the impact of technology and geo politics and society caitlin, good to see here. lots of people these days, getting their information on social media with tensions running so high. are these platforms equipped to bear the responsibility that entails? thanks nicole. first of all, no, i don't think that platforms are equipped to bear the responsibility of content moderation. and there's a reason why they, you has already reach out to ext meta and tech talked about all of this information and harmful content that slowed online over the past 2 weeks. and we're seeing that platforms don't have the resources to detach very large amounts of content, especially in non language english languages. i will say that platforms are in a very difficult position currently due to the very, very large volume of information that's flowing. but also due to the fact that platforms and making real time decisions in very short periods of time, they don't always operate with all the information. so it's not always possible for them to verify

are there specific concerns or geo political factors that drive this decision? well, i think again, in, in each of the cases, either you are trying to defend yourself from the united states. or you are trying to court the united states, often more financially than anything else. so not, you know, i think that the 5 lives countries, which would be still. yeah. and i believe new zealand. definitely a great britain. the us and canada. they are um, you know, they, they essentially spy on one another for each other. but they also sell each other weapons and invested in weapons systems for that same reason. and um, and its uh, essentially to control their societies. it's, it's the military but just have made it impossible to have democracies in these countries unfortunately. and that's because there they, there are money goes to that. they control events. they have uh, the top priority. so if you look at the war uh, in, in the ukraine right now, there's not been one vote why the american people for this war. we didn't have a say in the over throw the cream and governm

but democracy always means who are the people who are going to listen to washington on a geo political level wisdom all day long? what is going to be in change and take a look at all the, the building on the east of the month. and it was to keep, for the 40 days or so saw power the, the idea of the n g o's intelligence organizations could assist in media and communications. true st. them, patients, agency level that i might get it. i mean, they've been the position of immigrants yet, but i'm going to be with them. i see that when i say it'd be subject to get purple around, going to be defined as just people grabbed mtv to send the best on something. yeah, that was the gotten and then once you know, if she didn't dollars the just bought so a lot i love you to see on it or she didn't legal that i know the cost. so western and you said are involved in democracy building in former soviet states officers receive the same desire for liberty burning in the hearts of young people. they are demanding their freedom and the, [000:00:00;00] the protest. movements in all of these countries was trig

how do you fold in the geo politics?omething that just makes you, should make you more cautious in terms of putting money on the table? mark: it does, and we have a terrific business in israel. i was supposed to go two weeks from now, and obviously that's tempered now. the resolve of the people and the innovation engine that there is not stalling. they're taking care of their people. i think you will see their technology and their commitment to growth and their commitment to venture back startups and their commitment to the future is not going to stall at all. i think you got to be really careful. the multiples have already compressed, but when you can buy it today, you want to do it. alix: so good to see you. i don't think i've ever actually met you in person. that's weird. mark lehmann, thanks so much. i'm going to read the tease. coming up, we'll talk more about the middle east. this is bloomberg. ♪ to find your personal style. endless hardie® siding colors. textures and styles. it's possible. with james hardie™. it's

and they see themselves pretty much as a small player in these very big geo political game. that's what many people here describe it with a view from here of on w's. dimitri plenty often. thank you so much. and here are some more stories making news. at least one person has died after thai food, quite new plastic taiwan with record breaking wins. gusts of more than 350 kilometers per hour, destroyed buildings and critical infrastructure, and left over $300000.00 homes without power. it is the 2nd major storm in a month to hit taiwan directly. the depths toll from 2 rental flash floods in india has risen to at least 14 with over 100 people. still missing. the disaster was triggered when a glacier lake 1st unleashing a wall of water or down stream. slugs from himalayan lakes have become more common in recent years. due to global warming. to brazil now where dozens of amazon river dolphins have been found dead in the rain forest region around tougher lake in the past week. according to a research group with the ministry of science investigations are continuing, but experts say

so i think that is a lensky understands the geo political climate. and we should also make clear that the canadian media, in their initial report from canada's parliament, was to actually to celebrate the fact that home code was celebrated. and how's the comments? the cdc, the toronto star, major media outlets did that. and it wasn't until there was a really big push back on social media led by the, the critics of kind of his contribution to nato's proxy work until they made a huge kerfuffle on twitter over 243648 hour period. then some of the, some of the establishment jewish organizations, this would have pro, for part that i jewish organizations like presence. i'm was all center been a risk. they didn't come out until there was a food kerfuffle me. and then once the once the establishment jewish organizations came up, then the dominant media in canada reported on what happened with hunk of as a uniform that led not from the lens of, of critical criticism of the need a proxy war. so i think, you know, there was a chance that the, the hook incident,

geo-political premiums are there but usually for a very limited period of time.he oil market and any other commodity market, fundamentals of the market. the concern to have global economic growth is there. it already put some limitation on the global demand growth. this year, the key driver is china because over the reopening of the economy. it is over 70%. next year, we anticipate significant moderation in the consumption growth. that will affect the supply and demand balance. dani: angelina, thank you very much for your time this morning. some breaking lines just crossing now on air france. air france k.l.m. hosting a profit jump thanks to strong summer demand. they did miss on their third quarter, i should say, operating income advanced 31% from a year earlier. it comes in at a record 1.3 billion euros, slightly below analyst estimates. capacity reached 94%. compared with the prepandemic level of 2019. but again, perhaps the silver lining is that there was clearly strong summer demand although volume figures fell short of estimates. third quarter revenue came

but democracy always means who are the people who are going to listen to washington on a geo political level wisdom all day long. but isn't that mean change that they created with internal they've got, they've already been to the, the researching individual the month. and it was the people, the 40, the guys were so saw power the, the idea of it and she owes intelligence organizations could assist in media and communications. it's true the same contingent agency level that i might need it. i mean, they've been to the position of demo that you have what i'm going to do with them. right? so that when i say the subject, put it on line to be defined as just people grabbed mtv, you send them a sense of the out of the gun. and then once you know, if she didn't die this, the just bought so lovely to see on it or she didn't die. legal, it under the cost of the western and you said are involved in democracy building in former soviet states, our office officers. and since the middle east, we see the same desire for liberty learning in the hearts of young people. they are demanding their freedom.

but we do the same thing elsewhere in the world where we promote various political forces varies and geo is various election activities and things of this sort. and then with a straight face, we say, oh, we're not interfering in politics. we're just promoting democracy. but democracy always means who are the people who are going to listen to washington on a geopolitical level, wisdom all day long, but it's going to be changed and then take a look up and all they gotta go to the building. the key to the month and it was the people, the 40 to guys are so soft power the the idea that n g o's intelligence organizations could assist in media and communications. it's true, it's agency level that i might need it. i mean, they've been the position of the moment or 2, but the rest of it, when i say the subject to get proper online can be defined a shift. people have mtv, you send them a sense of yeah, that was the gotten. and then once you know, she didn't dollars the just bought. so a lot, i love you to see on it or she didn't legal that i know the cost. so western and you said are involved in d

then after all that there's the geo political impact of all of this. now we want to be comprehensive about this. this matters where it now appears that the conflict between israel and gaza is shifting the focus away from the conflict. then ukraine . both present a button and fed chair janet yellen are assuring the world that us tax payers that would be me can and will continue to send tens of billions of dollars to both countries. the ukrainians, fearing that both publicly and privately, their cause a need for funding will be what is going to be replaced now by israel's need for funding is obviously concerned. and if that happens without us funding, in particular, very counter offensive all ready at an impasse will likely ground to a halt. especially with a new us speaker who is critical of sending money to ukraine. and twitter owner, a law mosque saying essentially that the counter offensive, the ukranian counter offensive has failed. and it's time to sit down and talk to russia and find a way toward a truce. this is a really important topic and one t

now in caitlin, you study the impact of technology and geo politics. how could social media and the content posted on it potentially shape the course of this war? i think it affects everything. i mean, users, people all around the world, millions of people are going to social media to find out information about wars, to respond and react, and real time, which seems that the content moderation, decisions that these platforms make are very powerful. they affect how so many people view complex. so i definitely think that um, social media also affects how actors act. for example, extreme is actors are finding that they can gain a lot of attention, get a lot of engagement for posting very violent or graphic content. and when they get those reactions, it's like instant gratification rate. it reinforces polarizing views. so i think 1st thing, social media change both how people view and access information, but we're also seeing social media change, how the extremist actors themselves are playing out the conflict as tremendously interesting stuff. kaitlin's an

are those specific concerns or geo political factors that drive this decision? well, i think again in, in each of the cases, either you are trying to defend yourself from the united states, or you are trying to court the united states, often more financially than anything else. so that, you know, i think that the 5 wise countries which would be still. yeah. and i believe new zealand. definitely a great britain. the us and canada. they are um, you know, they, they essentially spy on one another for each other. but they also sell each other weapons and invested in weapon systems for that same reason. and um, and its uh, essentially to control their societies. it's, it's the military but just have made it impossible to have democracies in these countries unfortunately. and that's because there they, there are money goes to that. they control events. they have uh, the top priority. so if you look at the war uh, in, in the ukraine right now, there's not been one vote by the american people for this war. we didn't have a say in the over throw the frame in government i

as each country has unique security challenges and geo political objectives, that then shape is military spending priorities. with the conflict in ukraine world military spending grew for the 8 consecutive year in 2022 to an all time high of $2.00 trillion dollars, which is the sharpest rise in spending. in recent years, in the us defense spending accounts for 12 percent of all federal spending and nearly half of discretionary spending. from that it pays the salaries, the training and health care of uniformed and civilian personnel maintain arms, equipment and facilities, fun operations and develop. and to buy new items for r and d. additionally, a significant portion of the budget goes towards procuring new weapon systems, including air, cost, ships, and other vehicles. the weapon systems are a big factor that eats into the budget. now for an average weapon system over its entire service life, the purchase price is only a 3rd of the cost operating and maintaining and purchasing new munitions for it accounts for nearly $2.00 thirds. the budget also funds the army, the navy, marine air fo

this is due to limited resources, geo political factors or a commitment to maintaining smaller defense forces. now, with a big inequality gap and military powers and smaller nations, nato countries have set forth an agreement to raise the alliance is target for military spending to at least 2 percent of national g d p. however, only 11 out of the 31 members actually managed to reach that target. the western officials have underscore that many allies will have to spend more than 2 percent to meet the requirements of nato's new military plans and continue to provide aid. now today we're joined by keith, nick, henry, founder of food, not bombs, now case, can you provide an overview of global military expenditures and the total amount spent on the funds by various countries in recent years? yeah, i think that the largest countries, um, by far our 1st the united states, which spent the 8876000000000 dollars last year on its military. and that's the over number that they spent. because we do not know really about c, i a in other cobra military operations. then the next largest is actually ch
