well, because the middle east of north africa region is especially threatened by hunger due to view crane more close. yeah, but how about going to visit him? i'm the one that they go even with the drip irrigation agricultural remains. motor cars, biggest water consumer, bronze water supplies are becoming costs are. so modern navigation technology and broadband project are only temporary solutions for motor cars, farming industry. besides the african continent, international lenders will also focus on ukraine. the russian invasion has exacted a heavy total on the countries economy and decimated the private sector. at least 5000000 jobs have been lost since the start of the war. according to the ukrainian ministry of the economy, the country now face has a 15 year set back in its poverty reduction goals. reviving the ukrainian private sector has become one of the focuses of the international finance corporation, which is an arm of the world bank. and has allocated $2000000000.00 to reconstructing ukrainian businesses. i'm joined now by the managing director of the international finance corp

remember product codes, they say in russia there is no such problem, but in the middle east and north africaly, to work on such scales in a given region, a special person is used who knows exactly all the product codes, and as soon as such a system is introduced at our clients, this person will be able to occupy another workplace that will be in more demand and will free up place near the scales. on which users, even untrained users, will be able to work independently, since with each weighing, the client already knows which product he can choose and does not need to remember the product code each time. meanwhile, in russia, testing of cellular base stations developed by the yadro group will begin next month, and equipment for 2g and 4g networks from the damascus company will go into production next summer, they have already been ordered... 22,000 announced this at the first demotn industrial competence centers for mobile and fixed communications. industrial competence centers were created in the middle of last year, their task is to ensure the transition to domestic technical solutions, whi

we'll start to explore the region's unique culture and see firsthand the kind of influence north africa had on the cooking of present-day spain. >> it's incredible how close we are to africa. >> it is incredible. >> take a look at the map. at the southwestern end of spain, where europe and africa almost touch. in fact, morocco is less than ten miles away. in the eighth century, the moores crossed these waters to conquer present day spain. they called this region andaluc. this beautiful city was their capital for almost 500 years. i'm so excited. you excited? >> i'm excited to go to apdalucia. >> look at this city. these walls, yes, outside the walls, there were war. but inside the city, good things were happening. that's why it was one of the most fascinating places anywhere in the world. >> still kind of is. >> yeah. you feel it, right? >> i feel it. >> the moors were muslims, a mix of arabs from the middle east and indigenous people of northwest africa. in the old town, you can really feel their influences. narrow streets, shady courtyards with majestic doorway arches. and of course,

well, what's really interesting is our generation from north africa and the middle east that grew up as far as the iris for the arb spring. and then the officer mouth of the arb spring. one thing that it taught us and i think is a really salyers retail, is the falls promise of technology. there is this image, i will never forget from the protests in egypt, it was such an exciting time where somebody had graffiti on for sort of shop front doors, had refuted the logos of twitter, facebook. and i think google and that was a time when the promise of digital platforms, the promise of social media, was that it had single handedly over thrown the most entrenched, all sorry, it's harry and regimes across the middle east of north africa. i still can't believe it happened for the 5 minutes, but it did so. but what then happened off the op spring? what was the sort of retrenchment or return to the status quo that became even more violent, even more authoritarian. we're kind of living with architecture of 2 point oh, but in not less than what these nearly does, not sort of the ccs and the uh, an

israel has united all the arabs, in the middle east, don’t shake your head, it is true, if in north africa, then in the middle east it is very noticeable, i called another friend, a journalist i know, he is a shayite who is connected with hezbala, i ask him how are you doing, he says, you can’t think of anything worse, i say, well, will there be a war or not? we wouldn’t want to, but we are being drawn into this war, but if he says there is a war , we will be drawn in, i am passing on his words, if there is a war, then there will be a new armageddon, israel, as a state map of the world, can be forgotten, that’s their mood , after that i talked with one lebanese, also a christian, i say, your attitude , he says, under no circumstances do we need a war, that is, a roar, it is not needed, after this statement... the person who pretended to be functionary elect, there have been reactions in iran, i ask the iranians, your attitude, my friends, professors, they say, we don’t need war either, but if israel doesn’t stop this action of theirs, then we will be forced to fit into this. now pay attent

is a win-win situation for everyone except the poor residents of the so -called western asia, north africa other regions of the world. as for example in the past in southeast asia. in my opinion, hamas attacked the israelis again, this time en masse, essentially for deep historical reasons. gaza is the world's largest open-air prison camp. she is isolated by the israelis. fishermen can only catch fish a short distance from the shore. they fish in polluted waters from israeli sewage treatment plants located along the shore. more than 2 million people live in gaza, and they are blocked from essential supplies, such as cement for the reconstruction of houses, because the israelis believe it is a weapon. recently committed attack on the al-ahsa mosque in jerusalem, they attacked parishioners, desecrated the mosque surroundings, this is the third most important shrine for all of islam after mecca and medina. the al-aqsa mosque is a magnificent monument of architecture from about the 2nd century, i believe it is located on al-haram al -sharirif, the noble sanctuary, or on the temple mount, as th

[jose] these grilled lamb skewers are pinchos morunos known as kebabs around the world, tender cuts of lamb marinated in an insane blend of spices that were brought to andalucía from north africa. [ines] this is so good. i'm beginning to understand all of the influences that the arab world had in spain through the ingredients. the spices. but with ingredients, we've never actually asked ourselves what the origins of these ingredients are. evolution, baby, evolution. -you got it. -mind-blowing. [jose] when you consider all the different cultures have influenced andalucían cooking, it is mind-blowing. you got influences from east and west, everything that came from the middle east, everything that came from africa, everything that came from asia. all the foods that the spanish brought from latin america. oh, my god. andalucía is the place of creation more than any

clout, global economic outlook for 2024 is green growth in some countries in the middle east and north africa has fallen sharply compared to last year will in ukraine, foot shortages, and the inflation was slow global economic recovery. that's why we're trying to do in the course of this entire process of this annual meeting. am seek approval from our governors, just to redefine the vision of the bank, to be bad of it advocating poverty. but on a livable plant. and what we mean by level planet is exactly these challenges of pandemic. some climate change and food and security and fragility of those kinds of issues that peter far too slow recovery is bad news for countries struggling to repay debt lenders, dishing out spending on bottles may suffer for years. argentina is struggling to restructure it's 43000000000 dollar amos loan agents bones of tumble following moody's writing, caught by his done some beyond gunner and many others may not be able to repay the creditors pocket to this. urging the i'm a world bank to right of that's warning that the restructuring won't solve the problem actuall

we use hilton and is director of the middle east and north africa program at the international crisis group. it joins us from brussels use use that is the saudi arabia stance. it's place in this israel cause a conflict. well the reason critical findings and he's running gaza is pushing saudi arabia on. notice that it cannot proceed to the way it's for it to do before october 7th, which was to, to find a way to normalize relations with, as well as the terms where, right. and i'm all of those terms for especially the mass for the united states, like security guarantees and to the right to develop a peaceful nuclear program. and to pursue me initially was on that list, but it was, it rang so what's now with the new fight and stuff. the issue has come right back up. and so it's very hard to see how. so the way we can proceed with any kind of normalization, with israel without seriously tackling the, the question of these really understanding and conflict roughly speaking, so not just what is happening and cause that, but also what is happening in the west bank by the west bank at east jer
