Well, we will be looking at the UN this week, the big meeting up in New York, and Zelensky President will be here in the United States in Washington, DC, meeting with President Biden in 30 seconds or so. What's your take on that meeting? You know, I expect that there'll be a lot more discussion about what types of arms we will provide to Ukraine. And you know, I expect that it will go well. I suspect that the Ukraine is very concerned about the upcoming election and how that could potentially change support in the US. So there's probably be some discussion around that as well.

This is Sally Calling off from Great Wolf Lodge, Maryland. You're listening to WTOP near us. It's 715. I'm Liz Anderson. Thanks for being with us this morning. You know, many places the across country are downright hot sweltering and the blistering heat not only this holiday weekend, but in 2023 itself, it's shaping up to be one of if not the hottest years on record that means Huge demand for electricity which could in turn mean blackouts. So how prepared are the Well here with more Karen O 'Leary director of analysis for emergent risk international a risk advisory firm. Good morning, Karen. Hello, Karen. Good morning, Liz. Can you hear me? Yes. Yes. Now I can hear you. So that are nation's the utilities able to handle the heavy demand for electricity since it's so hot in so many places. Liz, as you noted, electricity demand is hitting record peaks in much of the country and the grids are prepared. Most of them are okay, but only for normal summer conditions. This is in the middle where the West and the Midwest are going to struggle in these abnormal heat waves and counterintuitively Also, parts of New England look vulnerable. These heat waves, they're coming more often. They're coming earlier in summer and they're lasting later into the fall. Add in fires like we see in California, damaging power infrastructure, and yes, we're going to see outages this summer. Okay, and speaking of outages, there's data showing that power power outages are growing. And why is that? Like all of these problems, there's never one single answer. Part of it is climate change driving up temperatures and that drives demand for air conditioning. Part of it is that US infrastructure, particularly coal -fired power stations, is aging and becoming less reliable, especially as maintenance gets canceled or deferred. And part of it is we're in that transition phase between increased use of solar power and wind, and power companies are still trying to manage the uneven power generation of renewable energy. The other thing that's on the horizon is hydroelectricity shortages. winter The wet in the West has provided some sort of relief, but we still might only be a couple of years away from major electric dams getting too low to generate electricity Oh wow, that doesn't sound good at all. What about the Washington area? Could the district, Maryland, and Virginia suggest? The DC area is actually one of the best prepared regions in the country. The broader region, which stretches from Tennessee at Ohio in the west all the way to New Jersey in the northeast, actually has about 30 % more generation capacity than it needs, even for once -in -a -decade heat waves. The problem is that sharing that excess generation capacity with the other parts of the US that needs it is hard, and that we're seeing not just once -in -a -decade heat waves, but we're seeing once -in 50 -year, once -in -a -hundred -year heat waves these days. Oh, thank you so much. Thank you so much. Here, a -decade heat waves. That's Karen O 'Leary, Director of Analysis for Emergent Risk International, a risk advisory firm.

Here's something that could push up inflation for you and it's thousands of miles away. The Panama Canal. Water levels are shrinking there thanks to severe drought. That could translate into higher shipping prices to get goods to market which means more coins from your wallet. Here with more Meredith Wilson chief executive officer of emergent risk international a risk advisory firm. Good morning Meredith. you? How are I'm good. Good morning Liz. So explain the connection between problems with the Panama Canal and possible inflation here at home. So there are several but I think the easiest way to explain it is longer shipping times generally equals higher costs. 40 % of US cargo actually transits the cow but starting today larger container ships will have to reduce their cargo substantially to make the weight requirements to go through the canal because there's less water. That's by as much as 40 % of their usual loads. What that means is slower transit times. It means more boats with less in them and that of course means higher costs for consumers at some point. Okay. Oh, Wow. So it's not just what we import. It could also have an impact on American exports energy. So how is that? So one of the major changes in energy markets in the last decade is that the US has become a major energy exporter. Most of these shipments go to places like Asia, places like Japan. The cargos usually deport from the US Gulf Coast, Louisiana, so Texas and they go to Asia via the canal with the drought related restrictions and congestions. If this gets worse, that means that they have to take this longer route that goes through the canal Suez towards Europe. That is a 34 day travel time versus a 21 for going a through the canal. So you're adding all of these big cost LNG and all of these energy supplies coming out of the US which of course pushes up the price of energy commodities. You have almost the exact same route out for agriculture. So grain exports going to Asia, same thing. This drives the price back up again. And what about national security? Can you explain how this might impact that as well? Yeah, so the US sees the Panama canal as a major strategic asset. It is considered a both key national security priority as well as a key economic priority because that of shortened transit time makes it easier for US military assets to get to Asia or to Europe via the canal much quicker than it would any other way. So should that point become unavailable, whether it's because of a drought or for geopolitical reasons, that would impact both our overall economy as well as our military readiness. Well, thank you so much. Meredith Wilson, Chief Executive Officer of Emergent Risk International, a risk advisory firm. Now, a quick look at the top stories we're working on at WTOP.

A new found study that the best way to feel good at work after a previously long day is to give yourself loads of downtime the night before. The quality of recovery a person gets in any given evening after work has everything to do with their mood when they start their job again the next day. Those who had not just restful sleep but real downtime and relaxation when they got they home had higher levels of wakefulness, calmness, even pleasantness the next day at work. However those good feelings didn't last all day they start to decline as the day goes on. So if by the end of your workday you start to feel and tired irritable you need even more recovery time

"Law. The move can make it riskier for everyone to operate in the communist country from foreign companies to journalists and academics. Here with more Meredith Wilson, she's chief executive officer of emergent risk international. Good morning Meredith. Morning Liz. So sum up what the Chinese are doing and why they're doing so. So as you say, Liz, China already had a pretty rigorous espionage law in place. But what it's done with these recent changes in a nutshell is that everyday business activity could now be interpreted as a national security threat. So specifically the law expands the definition of illegally providing state secrets to purchasing or illegally providing documents, data, materials, or items related to national security. And so the U.S. and China are the world's two biggest economies, what impact could this have on trade and investment in the overall economic climate? So the sort of new vague espionage definition gives them a lot broader authority to arrest or expel businesses for doing every day sort of due diligence investigations. Looking at employees that might be engaged in illegal or unethical behavior. And potentially even allows them to seize intellectual property. So businesses are really going to be left with this choice of operating without those guardrails of proper due diligence, investigation, or potentially subjecting themselves to FCPA charges here in the U.S. because they haven't done that due diligence. So it's going to make it just that much harder for businesses and NGOs and academics to operate there. Okay. And so the Titan counter espionage law is set against this backdrop of a deteriorating relationship between the U.S. and China. Which some analysts say are at their lowest and perhaps the most dangerous level in years. So what do you think will happen next? So I think China and the U.S. are both trying to figure out a way to deescalate, but neither one of them wants to look as if they're backing down. So at the same time, they're sort of working at odds with that. And they're passing laws in both countries here in the U.S. and in China that are going to make it harder to maintain good economic ties. Despite the fact that it's been acknowledged by both sides that we simply can't afford not to have economic ties between the two countries. But it leaves limited prospects on the horizon. In the end, economic ties are going to go on. And it's not going to cause immediate physical conflict, but there's increasing collateral damage to businesses and eventually to maintaining relations altogether. Oh, thank you so much, Meredith. We appreciate your time this morning. Thanks, Liz. Have a great day. Thanks. Same to you. That's Meredith Wilson, CEO of emergent risk international

"Walmart Walgreens CVS Rite a target and online nose, healthy life. This is WTO P news. It's two 45. I'm Ralph Fox. Thanks for being with us this afternoon. Iran and Saudi Arabia have agreed to reestablish diplomatic relations after 7 years of deep tensions and it's sending shockwaves to the Middle East this weekend. China was involved in brokering the deal as well. How does this development indicator affect the United States influence in the Middle East now? WTO's and Kramer talked with director of analysis for emergent risk international, Kieran O'Leary. It's not a completely zero sum game where China's growing influence in the region means that U.S. influences fighting. Iran and Saudi Arabia have been quietly negotiating for several years on repairing the relationship with the EU facilitating talks, which would cause the U.S. could never do because of its own problematic relationship with Iran. And now China is coming to the last minute to finalize the deal and very publicly claimed credit. But just as importantly, this is about Saudi Arabia, diversifying its relationship away from Washington. It's been very open in the last few years that it's growing relationship with Russia, particularly on oil production. And now it's making a clear point about the strength of its relationship with Beijing. Karen, what is China trying to do by getting involved in this deal as mediator? Are they trying to expand influence in the Middle East and what are they hoping to achieve if they do that? China has been on a definite diplomatic push in the Middle East over the last few months back in December, president Xi Jinping made one of his very rare trips outside China to attend back to back summits with the leaders in Saudi Arabia. First with the gulf corporation council, then with the Arab League, where he proposed things like using the Chinese yuan for oil transactions and offered to assist Middle Eastern countries to build nuclear power plants. And this illustrates China's goal in the region. As with what it's doing in the South China Sea and Pakistan and Africa, this is about securing China's guaranteed access to foreign energy reserves. So what are the positives if there are any for us here in the United States from this broker deal? Hostility between Saudi Arabia and Iran has been a major driver of tensions in the Middle East for these last 7 years. And as I said earlier, the U.S. could never have broken it in agreement to repair that relationship because of its own problematic relationship with Tehran. So Europe and China have done a good thing for the U.S. and for the rest of the Middle East to actually promote peace in the region.

Well, federal environmental authorities have ordered a temporary halt in the shipment of contaminated waste from the side of a fiery train derailment in Ohio. And that's after officials have heard concerns from residents and people from other states. No one was hurt in the derailment itself, but there were fears of a potential explosion, so folks were evacuated from their homes. Now, if this trained derailment wasn't enough, there's another type of damage, a flood of false narratives and misinformation and disinformation that have spread widely over social media, making it harder for citizens to get real and accurate information. And this sort of thing is pretty common now in the wake of any incident, whether it's a mass shooting, a storm, so forth, and so on. To talk more about it, we're joined by Meredith Wilson of emergent risk international. Good morning, Meredith. How are you? Good. Good morning, Liz. So Meredith, what are some of the false narratives that have been spreading about this train derailment in east palestin, Ohio? Well, like you said, Liz, this is kind of par for the course any time there's a disaster now. In this case, some of the claims are these very extreme social media posts claiming a false flag type thing where it was intentional. There are other ones that are a little more nuanced and a little bit more misinformation driven. There was one suggesting that the real company was literally only offering $5 to each resident as some kind of payout. In reality, there's the company is going to end up spending a substantial amount of money to remediate all of this. But that initial claim appeared to come from an early payout of $25,000 that the company had given to the government there, which somebody then went and said, okay, well, divided by the number of residents, that's $5 per person. So sometimes it's things like that where they get misinterpreted. Oh, okay. Okay, so why has it been difficult to get accurate information out to get the facts out? I think we're in a very fractured media landscape and of course the issue too has been heavily politicized and it's been seized on by people on the right and the left for their own kind of political gain. Ohio, of course, being a battleground state for any upcoming election. It's also been a headline issue for a lot of our major sort of media pundits who do these sort of information opinion pieces on TV at night. Not always with the correct information and oftentimes with sound bites that are not fully accurate. And of course, the biggest thing is social media and the imagery and the video has been very dramatic. If you saw the controlled explosion that they did, it looked a bit like a nuclear mushroom cloud. And so when people grab onto that kind of imagery and then attach their own opinions and oftentimes disinformation and that goes viral, that's where a lot of people are picking up this stuff. So this will be the final question. How do you think all of this affects the average American? I think the long and short of it is that this is another reminder of what we are going to be facing with the 2024 elections coming up and this very heavily politicized environment that we're living in. And it's a good reminder that when we are looking at situations like this, we really need to focus on those primary sources of information. The government agencies, the press releases that go out, the actual statements as they were made, not as their clipped up by the media. And really understand what's available to you out there when it comes to good primary source information and not relying on these kind of social media and that type of thing for your information. Thank you so much. Much appreciated that's Meredith Wilson of emergent risk international. And coming up on must be getting close to spring is baseball and soccer return to action.

"This Friday marks one year since Russia launched a full scale invasion in Ukraine. The two major powers involved in the conflict have dueling speeches planned this week. President Putin expected to speak on Tuesday, and that may shed light on his future plans. At the same time, Putin is giving his major speech. Biden's going to give a speech commemorating U.S. leadership over the last year and commemorating NATO and Ukraine's partnership in resisting Russia and then it would be meeting with the leaders of NATO's Eastern European countries.

"Dot com today and schedule your free and home estimate. It's 7 11. It's been nearly one year since Russia invaded Ukraine and the Biden administration formally determined last march that Russian troops had committed war crimes in Ukraine and Ukraine and said it would work with others to prosecute offenders. Vice president Kamala Harris reiterated this stance yesterday at the Munich security conference, which is an annual gathering of security and defense officials from around the globe. And the invasion has dominated discussions at the conference. So what lies ahead this coming week? Well, joining me to talk about it here in O'Leary, intelligence, analyst at emergent risk international. Good morning Karen. How are you? Good morning Liz. Well, so Russian troops has mentioned Russian troops invade the Ukraine and that one year mark is coming up this Friday. What's this week ahead leading up to that anniversary likely to bring? The first thing we'll see is the Tuesday president Putin will be delivering a major speech department on the state of the nation in Russia. It will be full of fiery rhetoric, but it should also give us some clues as to how Russia plans to prosecute the war this year. One thing we'll be looking for is whether he announces another mobilization or essentially forced conscription of Russian people. To fight in the war, the other thing is that February 23rd, the day before, Thursday is a major day called defender of the fatherland day. Again, lots of rhetoric, lots of speeches, but then on Friday, it's still winter in Ukraine. It's not a day for ground attacks, but we should probably expect more missile attacks and drone attacks against Ukrainian infrastructure and electricity grids on that day. So how will the U.S. and Europe respond to this one year mark? Are there any practical steps the west can take that they haven't already taken? That's a good question. The first thing that's going to happen is the President Biden's actually going to be in Poland. The day after president's day yogi, they're on Tuesday. The same day Putin is giving his major speech. Biden's going to give a speech commemorating U.S. leadership over the last year and commemorating NATO and Ukraine's partnership in resisting Russia and that had been meeting with the leaders of NATO's Eastern European countries. But practically also by Friday, the EU is looking at putting in place its tenth round of sanctions against Russia. Some of those sanctions are likely to be things like sanctions on Russia's nuclear industry, which won't have a huge impact on the rest of the world, but there's also likely sanctions against Russia's mining industry, stopping Russian metals from getting out of the country, which will have more effect. Thank you so much. Wish we had more time, but we have to leave it there. Thank you so much, Karen O'Leary, intelligence analyst at emergent risk international.
