u. s. export goes to developed nations, not places like yemen where they wouldn't be able to pay global market prices for imported meat. not to mention food security in the u. s. right now is not at an all time high, especially among farm workers feeding the world. i mean, we're not even feeding fargo down. let's talk about corn. corey subsidies in the u . s. total. the 100. $16000000000.00 from $995.00 to 2020. the bulk of 4 made goes to cash crops like corn and so way, instead of nutritious food leading to worse public health outcomes. for now, maybe we'll find a way to genetically modify a record so that americans will get super powers instead of obesity and diabetes. imagine super cob man, he has the power to pass through an entire digestive system from in a south look is to what stomach a large intestine, then a small intestine. and then he'll exit a rectum completely intact. not a scratch on him. despite the tons of corn, we produce each year, 2 and a half tons per american citizen. we don't even get to see that corn most corn doesn't get in. instead, more than 100 percent goes into animal feed. additive like corn syrup used in sugary junk food, and increasing

u. s. right now, and there are nearly $100.00 wildfires. the 3rd largest in the state's history, it has decimated the town of greenville. and you know, the forecast shows not much relief coming. the tender, dry conditions continue, pull out, give you a wider look of north america. some of the storms we're following toward the great lakes, the midwest, and we've got a firehose of moisture, but the bulk of it will stay out toward the atlantic of washington. d. c. was impacted by it just a few days ago. for central america pretty much anywhere from mexico through to 100 . we scooped up anywhere from $80.00 to $100.00 millimeters of rain. and we've got daytime heating storms across the caribbean. and you know, for trinidad and tobago. northern portions of the island have been dealing with flash flooding. speaking of flooding, venezuela, we've seen intense rain over the last little while, so river levels there are reaching dangerous levels. wanted to also talk to you about a cold front sliding across. it's going to knock down temperatures big ti

u. s. right now, so the big story about this fire is that it's growing very quickly and there is no containment inside the fire. it's been going on for 3 weeks already. i ass spokesperson for the fire response effort when the fire might be out. and she said there's really no telling possibly weeks or longer because they have to get the fire under control and they're nowhere near doing that right now. thank you very much, shawn reporting, just from quincy california where the state is still battling some of its worst wildfires. now columbia is facing an increasing migrant crisis with more than $10000.00 people arriving in the border town of nicole kelly, people from countries including cuba, haiti, and then also as far away is gone. and molly and toga descended on the town. the hopes of crossing the gulf of a robber before a jungle track to reach panama from that it's north to the us. but now many a stranded with the only fairy company stretched to capacity with too many passengers. but i spoke to

u. s. right now is it's having some of its own headwinds. and of course, any of the china listed fox, the u. s. has gone down separately, but some of the giants here like microsoft, for example, has hardly off the highs even with the market correcting today. so at this point hasn't really been much of an impact. and amid this crackdown, taiwan ts m. c has overtaken 10 cent as age of the most valuable stock hitting a market cap of roughly $540000000000.00. after gaining nearly 10 percent this year alone. is that more about the crackdown pushing 10 percent down or the increase reliance on semiconductors as it's become one of the hardest commodities in tech these days? brand, i would say probably a little bit of both because we do have the demand for semi's improving. we've had of course, the supply chain issues going on, and of course the regulations have really what has hit pension. so at this point now i would say that the crackdowns retention has not only hit hard, but it's been more in the last 6 weeks. it's gone down 45 percent from januar

u. s right now, and it's the 2nd worst in california history, but it's one of more than a 100 fires in 15 states that are being battled by 26000 firefighters. amazingly, the dixie fire has not yet killed anyone. that we know of, there are several people that are unaccounted for, and firefighters and other 1st responders are looking for them. and some firefighters have been hurt. but amazingly, not that many. no one has been killed that we know of by that. and what happened here is the global warming, his exacerbated the conditions of dry weather. there's a drought here and also the heat. rising temperatures have effected that. so that means when a spark hits the ground, it's much more likely to set off a fire. many of these fires were set simply by lightning strikes this one, it is possible that that was set by the local utility company, pacific gas and electric, when a tree fell on its power lines. that is what the company is saying has happened. so global warning warming has contributed to this situation. 2020 was the worst fire season ever in the u. s. and 2021 is already going to set

u. s right now, containment has increased to 48% reports cal fire more than 759 acres have been burned soar yesterday evacuation orders went out to some residents in shasta county. but today a portion of those orders were reduced to evacuation warnings. the dixie fire has been burning for about six weeks in gold country crews are also gaining ground on the washington fire and swallow me county containment has increased to 50% about 100 acres of burn, destroying more than a dozen homes in jamestown mandatory evacuation orders lifted today at noon for all areas except golden dove lane and silver pine road. the fire is still threatening the historic town of sonora. we've curated all the wildfire information in one place on our website it can be found at ktvu dot com just click on the wildfires tab, we'll all private properties whose owners enrolled in a program to remove debris caused by the 2020 wildfires in monterey and santa cruz counties have been cleared, officials say california's consolidated the brief removal program oversaw the cleaning of 676 private properties in santa cruz county

u. s. is right now, but there's still a lot of concern about arise and cobit cases and a decrease in growth expectations. so how is being responding and do you think that there will be any change to their policy in the near future? no, there certainly is some concern as businesses continue to face pressure from high raw material costs, china is still on track to expand more than 8 percent this year now, but outbreaks of the delta variance is threatened. he threw to throw everything off track. so the consumer inflation slowed slightly. invasion is kind of echoing us with rhetoric right now saying that they believe domestic inflationary pressures is largely controllable. so we expect asian to maintain a mix of targeted tiny and universal eating throughout the remainder of the year. but for now, the persistent inflation and diminishing growth points to slow down, but it doesn't look like there will be a risk that caught expenses will search in the near future. so their life be largely, it's a non fact unlike that of the us. and in china, it was primarily fueled by fuel and fuel related transpo

right? well, after slashing 33 percent of the workers and 6 years, roads complain about labor shortages. i mean, uproar over slow shipments. so there are a few hiccups in the u. s. economy right now. james foot, the chief executive, a c s x, one of the largest railroads in the u. s. put it this way during the early call. recently, i've never seen any kind of thing like this and the transportation environment in my entire career where everything seems to be going 5 ways. at the same time. they're saying that they did not anticipate that nobody would want to actually work . and that, in fact, a lot of their workers would actually decide to just leave because they were adding more money on enhanced unemployment benefits. but we do seem at that again, one of the cycles, like the solar system of the plan is revolving around its star, is that the inevitability that the central bank can control this. they can't control. they can put all this money in there, but at a certain point, if you're, you have to keep them putting too much money. and you're now having to put money in the hands of the consumers. you're going to reach a situation where nobody wants to work to sup

u. s. should remain in afghanistan? obviously that's off the table. but is that what you're saying should have happened that the u. s. should not be withdrawing. right right 1st and then, but i'm sorry, pressed on. he brushed on a go for it. tell me what do you think? i don't think you're seeing would make any difference or seeing in be right. it's not like the word come in and fight again and all that. let's look at practical solution practical solution right now at the moment is legitimacy for the followed by the government. as the taliban government, that could be done without the usb. this could also have been that where everyone, every young person wants to run by the fact that they're going to kill incidence back, going to cut it out, right? it won't be mean to, doesn't the 1st place to kill, right? so you have to understand the narrative that people have a more boost every time they are. we will be attacking those be. but i can show you the messages that i just got, where they have said that people work with the us. let's burn them. i live next burn their house is on my right. this is the many days back. she felt good, right? you have to unde

u. s. cannot afford to lose right now. it's just las troops in the cobbled terror attack and more atrocities are feared. the ah, the the, the, the promises is extremely real. we believe it is their desire to continue those attacks and we expect those attacks to continue. the state department has all this mixed messaging is simply part of its weight and see strategy. let's see how the taliban lead government fairs and then will act. but the public, along with the conservative opposition are not buying this. they see it as political impotence on behalf of the president going forward. we will judge our engagement with any taliban lead government canister. and based on one simple proposition, our interests and does it help us advance them or not biden's chaotic withdrawals set the stage for this violence. thousands of people trying to get into the airport is right for suicide attack by didn't, has blood on his hands and must be held accountable to say that today's loss of american lives in cobble is sickening, does not begin t

u. s. president is adamant he made the right decision and blamed the afghan government and military for not being willing to fight for themselves. we have a lot to discuss with our guest, surely before us this report from she advocacy in washington. joe biden attempted to keep public opinion focused on a promise kept up to 20 years. the u. s. was finally leaving f honest on i stand squarely behind my decision. after 20 years, i've learned the hard way that there was never a good time to withdraw us forces. but neither the president or any administration official has been able to address the chaotic matter of that withdrawal. despite biden's proclamation that the buck stopped with him, he lashed out both of the africa military and the african political leadership that fled even saying the u. s. wanted to evacuate more people earlier, but was stopped by couple. i know there are concerns about why we did not begin evacuating atkins civilians sooner. part of the answer is some of the afghans did not want to leave earlier. still hopeful for their country. and part of because the afghan gover

u. s. president insists it was the right call to put troops from afghanistan. mixtures cannot and should not be friday or, and dined in a war that afghan forces are not willing to fight for themselves. ah, hello money inside this is al jazeera life and death coming up. but in statement comes out is off to scenes. a couple that are shocked. the world is flung desperately to the side of us, played in all the news, struggles with the aftermath of an adequate chasm. major storm approaches ah, has been another day, a fast moving and dramatic development in afghanistan and as a taliban consolidate the hold on the ask capitol that have been scenes of chaos. a couple international airport. it is now the only part of the capital that isn't under taliban control. and thousands of afghans have fled or tried to flee their desperate to get out of the country. in one instance, people clung to the outside of a u. s. military plane, as it ready for take off, several people fell to that death once it was born. us president joe biden called the pictures from cobbled gut wrenching but defended his decision

u. s. should have coordinated better or given the taliban a heads up on that. bottom line is right now, the continuation of the cooperation between the u. s. military and the taliban continues at and around the airport. but in terms of when the u. s. will hand over the keys, if you will, to the airport remains to be seen. probably again, within the next few days as we get closer to that august 31st deadline. thank you very much, gabrielle elizondo with all the latest from washington. so as the threat of another attack remains in place and the evacuation efforts continue, hundreds of afghans have been watching outside banks in combo with a long line for me at cash machines. protest is outside the new combo bank, concluded many government employees demanding their salaries. they say they haven't been paid for at least 3 to 6 months. banks reopen 3 days ago, but many people were unable to access their money, even when functioning atems of limited cash withdrawals to about $200.00 every 24 hours. unless it's almost 10 days that i've been waiting here to get my salary. i am an employee

u. s. provided is not the right approach. i think we have to walk like, you know, yes, the u. s. gave them weapons. yes, the us train them, but how did the train them? right? why is it that the gun military, despite getting all this training, was not able to stand on its feet? and if you talk to me, let it do, the analysts will tell you that in the template in the model of training and building up in the u. s. government used was not suited for. similarly, if you look in the developmental sector development approach to, i've got to stand that the u. s. has been be work, it has respond a highly predatory economy, which is, which is repulsive people. it has, you know, it has created lots of grievances which is push people towards towards the taliban . and finally, you know, when it comes to regional politics, the you come in was never able to figured that out the money enjoyed ac. thank you . thank you. the and if you've been in pockets on these last 20 years and multiple us president, we're not able to do anything about that to do you know to deny the taliban does this really im

u. s. president joe, by what is the average american right now? thing of the u. s. president, in this given situation with the gun crisis. well, his latest poll ratings have dropped down 41 percent 41 percent of approval rating . so that gives you an idea right there. look, there's a lot of people who, who are upset officials both democratic and republicans about this messi. withdraw that the u. s. that this should have been planned, certainly much better that the intelligence, why was the intelligence lacking? why was this allowed to, to be so muddied such a catastrophic situation? and then again, when we're talking about just these blast where we're looking about what happened today. this was really a, you know, perhaps this isn't the best freezing for freezing, but a ticking time bomb. this was expected. i talked about those, those security threats that were issued last night. so officials were already warning this could certainly happen. so the question is, how did we even get to this point? how did the us get to this point? and now with us casualties, you can

right. what the taliban has to do, according to the u. s. government is trying to form a government that is inclusive, that respects human rights that respects the rights of women and girls to advance their full potential. and that does not try to put harm on other people, whether within afghanistan or in neighboring countries. that's a fancy way of saying don't harbor terrorists. now, certainly, while the u. s. government is still trying to manage what it calls a transition in the political situation in afghanistan, there was also this comment from net price, the state department spokes person. there has not been a formal transfer out there has not been a formal i guess, who does the united states recognize as a leader of jennifer. so this is something that we are working again with the international community. you saw in this statement from the you in a clear consensus, a merge that a political settlement will be in everyone's interests and it's worth pointing out that the special envoy all make how little thought is still in doing with h

u. s. is showing no signs of actually stepping up its attack. so do you think that's likely to change? right, so the us still planning to completely withdraw their military forces by the end of the month, most of that withdrawal has already happened. still, to date, the u. s. is assisting with some air operations assisting afghan forces with some of these operations. but all of those are from planes that are being sent in from outs, where there's currently no plans on the ground in afghanistan to carry out the, the operations. and the military has so far, so they don't plan to increase. there isn't any way with the u. s is really looking to do right now is the hand over most of the operation to the african forces and trust the training that they've provided to them. but so far that hasn't really held and the african forces for the most part have been overrun or have surrendered to the taliban. and most of the cities and apartments that we're talking about. and in that hand, of course, this comes at a humanitarian cost. hundreds of afghans displace, do you think that's a factor in america's d
