Why is it that this has such a Significant Impact on whether or not children stay in school and their ability to learn . Thank you so much for having me on today. Look out, pandemic has put an enormous burden on children, so many different areas. We know that prolonged absence from school and not being in school really leads to higher drug or grades, but not only dead. It also pro the provis children from the ability to learn to be with their peers, and thats always sensual, especially in the younger years when children really need to spend that time developing their social skills, developing learning and as the search philippines was already in that position before the panoramic when it comes to quality of learning. And so today its really a moment celebrate. Children are back to school. You can imagine the excitement of parents children themselves, but also teachers and everyone is working in the education system. So its a great step in the right direction. Were really commending the government for making the size of steps to bring children back to school. It must needed and then you president marcos has said that he plans to provide more cash for education. Do you think that simply supplying money is going to allow children who have been away from school for over 2 years to be able to catch up with their peers around the rest of the world . What else needs to be done . So 1st of all, children have to be back in school. The face to face learning is absolutely essential, but we also need to assess what learning has been lost in the past years. For example, a better understanding of how can we reach children that are in hard to reach areas that are having difficulty of attending a scott classroom even before and i mean, so, and wide area actually needs to be taking. As i said, the assessment is quite important. We also need to look at prioritizing, for example, access to learning material. But fundamentally, i think, starting with the essential skills is reading and writing. Putting that in the forefront of the efforts of regaining learning. Thats lost as absolutely essential at that point in time. If i understand correctly, one of the issues at the philippines was already facing prior to the pandemic was the overcrowding of classrooms and the access to the, the materials that, that, that, that youre talking about. Is there a going to be enough done . Do you think to be able to deal with the overcrowding issue and the access of materials to be able but we were talking about to allow children to be able to catch up and make up for the time that theyve lost. Absolutely, its a process. I mean, we have to commend 1st steps that are being taken right now, and i think the decisive decisions to make in Person Learning and absolute priority and opening all schools for in Person Learning in november is an absolute right step. Secondly, we have the highest ranking, 2nd highest ranking, official of the philippines. Now, at the home of the department of education, it just shows how much importance is being given to regaining a learning that has been lost in the past and assessing the situation where investments need to take place. So obviously they are white array of investments that need to be made in infrastructure and learning quality and how we equip teachers and how do we give support to parents and peers to read, calibrate and basically go back to what learning was used to be before and then, and thats a whole process and its a whole Society Approach obviously. But we see that they are really good steps taken right now with today being just to start obviously much more will have to come make a violent thank you very much indeed for being with us.

Power supplies may fail, farmland could turn to dust or key cities like las vegas might are to restrict how much water people can use. 7 american states could be facing problems like these, unless they work out a plan to reduce how much water they draw from the colorado river, which is drawing up. The river flows from the Rocky Mountains to the deserts of the south west, and it provides Drinking Water for 40000000 people. It also supports a huge Agricultural Industry thats worth 50000000000. 00 a year. But Climate Change is making the region hotter and dry up to reservoirs, lake mead and lake power. Ive fallen to just above one quarter of the capacity this summer. If we fall much lower and going to be unable to generate power for millions of customers. Is it like is a leading scientist and global water and climate issues . And he says more states will be forced to cut back on water use. If levels continue to fall. A 7 states roller in colorado and 80 percent of the water thats used in the river goes to the agricultural sector. So as the water levels continue to drop. First of all, were seeing cutbacks, mandatory cutbacks to several of the states that have allocations of water on the river. Arizona and nevada 1st are already experiencing quite significant cutbacks, and that means theyre going to have to reduce the water thats available for the cities. And for the farms that depend on that water, if the levels continue to drop, california will be affected. Also at the moment, california allocation has a higher priority. So the state of california has not yet seen cuts on the colorado river, but thats going to come and its going to affect millions of people at the reservoir levels. And as the river itself continues to fall. Well, the 1st thing thats going to have to happen is that some farmers are literally going to have to go out of production. Theyre going to have to follow their fields. Theyre not going to be able to grow crops a were already seeing request voluntary requests in the urban areas in the big cities for reductions in water use. But those requests are going to become mandatory overtime. Were going to see cut backs to allocations for water for indoor use, especially for outdoor use. A lot of the water is still used on outdoor landscaping, and thats going to have to stop. So were going to see cutbacks for urban users and for agricultural users as well, we simply cannot afford to keep giving more water away.

The 8 day walk has been sparked by a pe dispute. Harry force has been speaking to some of the striking workers the Worlds Largest container ship at britains largest container. Port the ever a lot arrived on thursday and normally would be long gone by now. But strike action by felix. Those 1900100 duck workers, has stopped operations. The unite union says a recently increased offer of a 7 percent pay rise doesnt keep pace with spiraling inflation. Its seeking a double digit raise that it says would share surging corporate profits. 71000000. 00 at last count more equitably with the workers. Now unfortunately, weve yet to be given an offer which we think we can take back and which reflects members of bryson. And talking to members today in which were in a position that there is you can see weve, weve had that message sent back to us loud and clear. Felix to port says it was reminded in recent days by the bank of england of the inflation re effects a big pay rises. The port company accuses the union of using the workers in a National Struggle on average for our case. This is next for 3 and a half 1000 pounds in cash to them each year. The action that theyre taking now that united is making them take me not having to put this offer to all workers, but the action that united making them take is actually going to take the best part of a 1000 pounds out of their pocket. The question is, how far the effects of this shut down will ripple through the u. K. Economy. The port says the effects will be manageable, pointing to the Lessons Learned during the supply chain. Disruption of the pandemic. Suddenly, the ever a lot isnt going anywhere anytime soon. And some Industry Analysis suggest other containers ship as are already offloading the cargo in europe. Instead of the u. K. The union accepts that will be major disruption and says that it could carry out further strikes as it seeks.

Were now looking at a temps and price rises monthly from our suppliers, so its not like a challenging environment for his over the last.
