and in miami, june dreyer, professor of political science at the university of miami and the editor of taiwan. a warm welcome. june park, what is causing this shortage and why is the situation so dire? june: the pandemic that began at the end of 2019 has basically altered the business planning cycles for many industries we see in connection with the chip shortage. the most vulnerable sector in this chip shortage crisis was the automotive sector, because usually when the chips orders are sent in, the primary consideration was given to other products, such as the mobile phones or computers or any other equipment we have used in order to get connected during the pandemic, so that is why we have the shortage at the moment. anchor: june, what is the overall impact, the impact on businesses, consumers, and folks who want to get the latest smartphones? june: we may have to wait for a long time. i know my grandsons are at the age where they think they would die if they don't have the latest electronic equipment. they will have to get on a waiting list. if i may add something, and by the way, i

university in new york city. jim anderson, ceo of social flow, a tech company, and in miami june teufel, dryer professor of political science at the university of miami and editor of taiwan and the era of citing when a warm welcome to you all june park. let me start with you today. what is causing this shortage and why is the situation currently so dire? the pandemic that has begun at the end of 2019 has basically altered the business planning cycles for many of the industries that we see in connection with the shortage. and the most vulnerable sector in this chip shortage crisis was the automotive sector, the automobiles sector. because usually when the chips orders are sent in the, the primary consideration was given to other products such as the mobile mobile phones or computers or any other equipment that we have used in order to get connected during the pandemic. so that's why we have the shortage at the moment. june teufel dryer, let me ask you, what is the overall impact of all of this? i'm talking about the impact on businesses and also on consumers and just folks who want to get, you know, the latest smartp

very pleased to welcome june teufel, drier to the news, our professor at the university of miami, who wrote an article titled, china is monopoly on rare earth elements. and why we should care, june, i guess we should care because it's dangerous when any one country has a monopoly or anything. but in this case, it seems the chinese have really exploited. it's far further than we might have expected. that is certainly true. and i don't think we realized that some people didn't realize it, but they weren't being listened here. and it only became clear to us after that nasty fishing boat incident in september 2010 when a chinese fishing both around and considerable damage to 2 chinese japanese coast guard cutters. and the japanese government wanted to put the captain on trial for damaging state property, which according to videotapes, the definitely did. and the chinese government said no, don't even think about it given back. or we're going to impose a rare earth embargo on you. and just really scared the japanese because they absolutely need those rare earth for the catalytic converters

and this report from a researcher at the university of miami, brian mcnulty is getting a lot of attention. he believes the sea level has risen 7 to 8 inches in this area. why would that matter so much? it matters, in part, because of what is underneath all the buildings on this legal spit of land here, which is where the champlain towers are located, right in this area here. this was built on reclaimed deforested wetlands, below the surface of all these buildings out here is sand and organic fill. this is not something that was collected over thousands and thousands of years and settled into place. this is something that is much more recent than that. now, it is on a plateau of poreous limestone which would be there from way, way back in time. nonetheless, the question is if you have a sea rise in that area of that level, what effect does it have on this? does it create instability? is that in any way tied to these pictures from the "miami herald" from the neighboring part of the building there where they talked about the erosion that was happening here, the water that so many residents h

i have students in my class at university of miami law school that have family and friends in the buildingding. that's how i met resa rodriguez, she is a real hero, and we wanted her story to get out immediately. she tried to help her neighbors. what we want to make sure is these legal proceedings are done in an organized fashion. this is our backyard. this should not have happened, and anyone liable, responsible, whether it's political, legislative, we will find them and hold them liable, and we want to do this in coordination with the mayor and governor's investigation. >> adam moskowitz, we appreciate your time. please keep us posted. >> thank you so much. >> we kocontinue to hear heartbreaking stories from those who survived the disaster and now have nothing. we're going to speak to a 10th floor resident who just happened to be away from him home that night and woke up to the news. >>> covid cases are rising in some states due to the delta variant. could that mean a return to mask requirements? traded with a touch. the gold standard, so to speak ;) ♪welcome back to that same old place♪

but also a documentary on espn on the u talks about how the university of miami is a major powerhouse in the 1980's is from athletes raising downwardly mobile black suburbs. the atlanta region is one of the exceptions with six different areas that are solidly upwardly mobile, and solidly african-american in the metro region. but, again, not every city is atlanta. another key point that you keep in mind here is there's a culture of privatization that again begins in the response to suburbia being pursued by african-americans or desegregation, and this culture of privatization is in fact in the news right now if anybody's been following the debates, for example, in the state of michigan. the governor just recently put forward a law that would allow him to appoint corporate representatives who had the power to dissolve entirely the city government. sandy springs, georgia is the first u.s. city to outsource most of the public services to a private company. a firm called ch-2m-hill that makes about $26 million a year just from sandy springs to run all of its public works. formerly public w

where we are joined by harold wanless, a professor in geography and urban sustainability at the university of miamia project called the invading sea, a collaborative effort by news organizations across florida to dress the threat of sea-level rise. dr. wanless, you say infect miami will be underwater. but talk about that relevance today to what we are saying in all of the corporate coverage of this catastrophe that has taken place, rarely do we hear the words " imate change." >> since the building was built, there is been about seven inches, eight inches of further sealevel rise, which is very fast. but if that building was built properly, i would be surprised that would have a major effect. if we look to the future, which maybe we can do in a minute, that would be important. i think the problem with this building, as there may be some design and certainly some maintenance problems, but i think they need to look very carefully at the elevation of the base of t parking garage, which you go down to go into, i belie, and that was much lower. they also are going to need to look at very carefully exactl

he's a professor of geophysics at florida international university in miami. s of the research, the study, is not meant to suggest certainty about what just happened. you're just adding to the knowledge about what could be a contributing factor. >> yes, that's correct. but let me first correct you. the building was -- it wasn't built on reclaimed wetland. the city of surfside in miami beach in the eastern part of the city that's close to the ocean it's built on rocks. the western side of the city is reclaimed wetlands. so actually the area where the building is built is on much stable ground than in the western part of the city. so, i don't know how it got quoted like that. but this is not the correct thing. over there it's supposed to be stable. and most of the buildings showed that in the 1990s it was stable. this particular building shows movement which was unusual. that's why we reported that. >> so, when we talk about the subsidence, the idea that maybe sinking a little bit, we're talking about two millimeters a year, which in and of itself, you're smarter
