the administration's decision to relocate two important research institutions, the economic research service and the national institute of food and agriculture will effect real people who rely on the usda services and hamper its capacity to support farmers, families, and rural communities for years to come. and for what? for what? it's still unclear to me what problem the usda is trying to solve with this move. but we can see the problems and the risks related to this move. the administration is requiring employees to uproot their families and move by september 20th, even though they haven't secured a permanent office space. there are questions about their authority and budget for the relocation. according to usda at least 63% of employees directed to move will leave instead of relocating. 63%. or more. that's on top of extremely high current vacancy rates at these agencies. rebuilding an entire work force will take time. in the interim these agencies will not have the capacity to do their important work. the usda will also lose irreplaceable expertise. for example, the usda is losing

here at another research institute staff and farmers have gathered to meet the man who led sea km's reinvention as a model organic state. it was india's longest serving chief minister he is the son of farmers and travels regularly through the state drumming up support for his mission if you're glue frequently. persuading farmers to dispense with pesticides and artificial fertilisers wasn't easy at 1st for more than 40 years conventional farming was the norm here as it is across the rest of the country. if your pov on chumming is playing the long game it was very hard to be. is to say louis. part of most it was because people. that have it and where for thinking this is a very difficult. but slowly people. realize you have to decide to become organic. now 3 other states in india are planning to go fully organic in the house of commons channeling one the people who seek him over to his vision others are now following suit. is that. should be organic by 2050 and for that we all. work together. if we walk to a good though it is definitely possible. this is my message to the work. but the acid test

world so preoccupied with it to discuss that i'm now joined by mike see all of the happiness research institute and bestselling author mike it's good to talk to thank you very much for its time thanks for having now when the global interest in happened this week the few years ago with a high level meeting on the subject it was presented as and you can all make paradigm something that is more comprehensive than let's say. g.d.p. right he thinks economic progress is really justified i think we should a new measure of progress i mean g.d.p. per capita. wealth which is an important indicator for progress but i think a lot of people globally are feeling that we have gotten richer societies without necessarily getting happier and we need additional new measure of progress and wellbeing happiness quality of life might be one of those now but government's main purpose by default is to make people's lives better at the greatest good for the greatest number so if they're doing their work correctly they would be taking care of all this institutional factor so well being why do you want them to be engaged

well that climate has people worried here in germany to a leading research institute here and now today that german business confidence has fallen to a 6 year low the evil institute surveyed $9000.00 german executives and found that sentiment is deteriorating fast across the board the outlook isn't good for europe's biggest economy. production is running smoothly everything seems quite normal. but the mood in german boardrooms is anything but good the foes monthly survey of 9000 german managers has fallen to its lowest level since early 2030 the miserable outlook is being compounded by a slew of profit warnings issued in recent weeks in particular by the automobile manufacturing sector the primary causes of global trade conflicts and britain's impending departure from the e.u. at the end of october that will probably also weigh on germany's economy the euro zone's outlook has also taken a downturn the european central bank has signaled it could even cut rates to boost flagging growth we decided to keep the key e.c.b. interest rates unchanged we expect them to remain at their present or
