"Yesterday, the World Food Program announced it will be resuming operations in Sudan after three of its staff members were killed on April 16th, just after the conflict broke out in the country. Fighting continues despite a ceasefire being in place, conservative figures suggest that at least 528 people have been killed and around 4600 wounded in the hostilities between the Sudanese army under commander general Abdel Fattah Al burhan, and its paramilitary rivals, the rapid support forces the RSF, led by general Muhammad hamdan dagalo, better known as hamiti. At the heart of the fighting at plans to include the RSF into the army. While I'm joined now by sharath shuna vasan, whose co director at the center of governance and human rights at Cambridge University and author of when peace kills politics, international intervention and unending wars in the sudans. Sheriff many thanks for joining us. Before fighting broke out a third of the population was dependent on some form of humanitarian assistance, what is the situation now? It's very dire Georgina. This is been a really unstable couple of weeks for everyone across Sudan. But for those who are already dependent on the humanitarian system, those who are urban poor living in centers but also in regions that have been insecure for some time or food dependent. This has been a real closing of the taps of life giving assistance. And so the fact that the humanitarian effort really came to a standstill and that the focus really was on evacuations, especially of foreign nationals for a couple of weeks. It's really hit the population very hard. So the WFO says that it will begin operations again. How safe is it for them to do so? Well, these are organizations many of them WFP MSF. ICRC, et cetera, that have considerable experience in navigating and secure environments and delivering humanitarian assistance. And WFP for decades that one of its largest programs in the world was delivering much needed food assistance to southern Sudanese in the long Civil War between in Sudan over that time. So there is experience. I think what was really clear and shocking for everyone was the level of violence that hit the capital cartoon. And that was unusual. And so for the headquarters of these officers, the focus primarily at the time was on their senior staff and getting them out. And that has in some senses decapitated the leadership structures and the organizational capabilities that are so important to providing assistance. But yes, indeed, they can and usually do carefully navigate humanitarian access. And is there more aid coming in? Well, it looks like it's ramping up now. I mean, it's clear that the ICRC has started to bring in assistance in the last couple of days, a relatively large amount, but this again is quite late for them. From the Chad side. So a lot of the real humanitarian need is in the Darfur region in western Sudan, which borders Chad and there's been considerable insecurity in that area as well. From the Chad side, there's clear reports of increased ramping up of support from a range of international organizations. But it's far less than what's necessary on the ground. The other thing that really has been hit hard is the health system. So the health system in terms of just doctors and nurses, but also supplies either being directly targeted or hospitals, not large number of hospitals being damaged across the country. And so the real worries that for the general population that didn't necessarily rely on humanitarian assistance, but does rely on the health service that they are in peril. And of course, can they I presume they can't access cash that businesses aren't operating, even if they are well off, so to speak. Life is very, very hard. Yeah, that's right. So you can imagine in these sorts of conflict situations. Everything can quickly come to a standstill and one of the key reasons is yes in urban centers, access to cash, access to banks has been reduced dramatically. And that has had an effect on markets and on the sort of flow of goods and supply of goods. I mean, that said, what has been really clear is the tremendous efforts made by Sudanese across the country to sort of help each other out. And there are really striking images of people helping those fleeing cartoon and they're on their long journeys to Egypt or to put Sudan. There's a long journeys across deserts, communities coming out offering food, offering shelter. In Sudan in Khartoum itself, these neighborhood resistance committees that were so important to the revolution and the struggle. For freedom and democracy, they've now repurposed a lot of their efforts and work around providing an effect social security to lots of people. So it amidst all of this is a story of also a great courage and sort of agency, but it is in a very dire set of circumstances. And what about people who have fled from other countries so Syrians and people from Yemen who are refugees already are they moving on or are they being looked after two within Sudan? That has been a real question. I mean, there are a lot of refugees from Eritrea and Ethiopia who are in Khartoum. So the main populations of refugees within Sudan will tend to be either from South Sudan from these countries that are Ethiopia. And it is to be unclear how especially those in cartoon have fared and what their status is. But it's pretty clear that Sudan has hosted over a million refugees for many, many years from these countries. Predominantly from South Sudan, a long-term and they are the movements are back to South Sudan, which is very insecure and unstable and very, very poor, the movement to Chad and to places like Central African Republic, which is also insecure. So that's of tends to be of those in the regions of the people in Fermat, and Ethiopia. It's unclear what the status of over 300,000 who are in cartoon refugees in cartoon and their status is really unclear. And are there some areas in the country where the ceasefire has held? So this is a class primarily between two armed forces and so they have committed to these ceasefire. They haven't held at all and indeed in the last days the level of aerial bombardments in Khartoum have really ramped up and to terrifying levels again. That said, there is a sense that they pause or halt it in some in some ways. And it hasn't been flagged as much as it remains focused on the existing sites of violence that we've seen. These sort of major centers and some less so. So in some sense, the ceasefire is held, but there is what you might think of as sort of tactical pausing going on. And we're not sure what that means. And they're sort of commitments to talks, et cetera, but it's really unclear that they mean much. Where I think there's real worries is where actually the insecurity and instability created by the clash between these two doctors has spread to other actors coming into conflict with each other. And that's especially true in West Africa or in the whole far over to the west on the border of Chad, where some

The communication between the ICRC and Russia's children's rights commissioner Maria lova belova is the first high level exchange on the topic of child deportation, the International Criminal Court increased pressure in Russia by issuing an arrest warrant for live over beloved and Russian president Vladimir Putin, accusing them of abducting children from Ukraine, an AP investigation revealed the Volvo beloved involvement in the abductions, and found an open effort to put Ukrainian children up for adoption in Russia. Claims all 700,000 children brought to Russia were done so with parents relatives or legal guardians, except for 2000 from orphanages in the eastern Donbass. I'm Karen Chammas

travel to Kyiv amid the ongoing Russian invasion While the pontiff has yet to mention Putin by name he has repeatedly been vocal about his disapproval of Russia's actions in Ukraine This has been a special report the Russian invasion of Ukraine I'm Julie Ryan This is Bloomberg intelligence with Alex Steele and Paul Sweeney on Bloomberg radio Thanks for joining I'm Paul Sweeney Alex Steele is off today Well I don't know about other people but I am a big car researcher I get the three year lease I just want a car starts to have a little bit of trouble with the three year leases up and I get a new one And that's where perfectly for me But I'm not sure the auto companies are still in that game as much as they used to be I'm joined by Kevin tinin Bloomberg intelligence senior autos analyst Kevin am I going to be able to get a lease on my next car It's not going to be as good a deal I can tell you that Now why is that Well so essentially Paul leasing is a form of incentive right So the manufacturers and through their finance companies can offer cash back They can offer low rate financing They can offer aggressive lease deals So it's essentially a way to pull in buyers create demand for product when there's oversupply And as you know we're not in that world anymore We're way undersupplied so as leasing as an incentive is no longer necessary And those finance companies the captives of the automakers would be carrying all that residual value risk right Prices are really high You're writing a lease residual three years into the future Hoping you get that amount back at wholesale So that risk is now transferred to the finance company and they don't want it They don't need it So what you're getting is kind of a take it or leave it market whether it's in a finance deal or at least deal So you can get a lease that's just not going to be that great or attractive and create affordability like it used to That may not be even a problem because you can't even get cars Talk to us about just production Remember reading your stuff And the annual rate would be 17 million cars high 16 million cars Where are we today and are we ever going to get back to that 16 17 million production level Yeah I mean I think it would be a really long time I mean obviously caging demographics would get us back there But if you think about this at a 17 million unit market we would typically run at to start each month about 4 million units of inventory on the ground And that's a lot of push from the manufacturers right Overproducing hey how are we going to sell this I don't know incentives lease deals low rate financing cash back whatever We got to pull the buyers in So that's 17 million number was essentially unhealthy We're at about a 15 now but you got two buyers for every one car So to put that in perspective where we used to have 4 million units on the ground to start each month in inventory We have about 1 million Wow So instead of 200 vehicles with a hundred buyers we have a hundred buyers for 50 vehicles And that's not an exaggeration We're at a quarter of the inventory level we used to be So as customers walk into the showroom and want to haggle and it's like hey look there's 5 people behind you that will pay sticker or above for this vehicle But my entire life Kevin It was the other way around You tell me we're not going back there Yeah I don't think we are I think through the pandemic and manufacturers have rationalized the cost and even the retailers are rational rationalize the cost And I think the biggest factor in this poll and I think a lot of people missed this is that we as consumers think that the automakers and the dealers exist for us right Which is an adorable little thought but that's really not how it works right So what you're getting now is to say we did a lot of that stuff where great cash back deals Great lease deals because we had to get rid of product that we no longer have to do that So my point is is that really who is influencing the industry It's not the consumer It's the manufacturer right And we've talked about this a million times Electrification is a perfect example You can have consumers with federal tax credits You can put charging infrastructure on every street corner But if an automaker doesn't see a path to profitability in that drivetrain technology they just don't build it So you can say like oh there's great demand for this and it doesn't really matter So same thing just with elevating elevated prices and production you have an automaker saying like hey we can be wildly profitable generationally profitable at 15 million units Why would we possibly want to go back to that other market where we got to pay people to buy our product of world doesn't need to exist anymore Talk to me about is the chip shortage thing in the rear of your mirror or is that still an issue Are dealers kind of getting the volume of cars they want Yeah Some people are still backed up And it's going to really depend manufacturing and manufacturer right What are the chips for If it's in vehicle content infotainment things right We may see vehicles from some manufacturers that are just lower content and vehicles You don't have all the advanced driver assist systems and the infotainment systems For those automakers where you're talking about engine mapping and drivetrain you just can't build a vehicle right So you can still make a vehicle without power windows you can't make it without transmission mapping So it kind of depends I think I won't say it's largely behind there's still issues But at the same time I'm not sure the automakers completely hate this right It's sort of I don't want to call it an excuse but it's a way that's just keeping output manageable Demand is backing up So there's pent up demand And it's like okay as the product comes we got 5 buyers waiting for one vehicle And we go on this way And maybe that's an extreme We've been over sticker price every month as an industry which is an unbelievable thought Since October of last year And actually in February every single manufacturer every single one average transaction price was above MSRP which is incredible I think So maybe that's extreme maybe we don't stay above sticker but I think the world of the future we snuggle up to MSRP a lot more than we had historically I'm sticking with the 2014 BMW 5 35 With you know the stick shift in there so check in with that for as long as it'll take me Kevin Tina thanks so much We appreciate it Kevin Tyler Bloomberg intelligence senior autos analyst All right we've got oil ad or near $100 per barrel that's been good for equities for the energy space How about the bonds Spencer cutter joins us He's a credit analyst for Bloomberg intelligence So Spencer I'm thinking high.

This is Bloomberg intelligence with Alex Steele and Paul Sweeney on Bloomberg radio We'll be here each and every week at this time Tapping into our Bloomberg intelligence analyst covering some 2000 companies in 130 industries worldwide Paul Sweeney Alex Steele is off today All right inflation it's not just the U.S. folks It is everywhere including the UK They're filling it at the supermarket just as much as we are I'm joined by Bloomberg intelligence senior retail analyst Charles Allen Tell us just give us a backdrop 30,000 foot level inflation the UK just give us your thoughts Well it's broad based and as you've alluded to it's pretty global I mean we've got obviously energy So the rise in the oil price feeds through into gas prices diesel prices And also tangentially into the utility prices which are rising very very sharply in the UK We've also got food prices going up something that's probably been accelerated by the war in Ukraine What are we seeing from you've been covering these retailers for decades I'm trying to get a sense of how much they're going to be able to pass along versus how much it's going to hit their margin as we think about some of those retailers I think that generally speaking I mean when you've got a price price that's going to affect everyone pretty much equally it will get passed along Whether consumers will pay for the same products at the same price as a different matter And I think this is where the differentiation for retailers is going to show up Those have got stronger owned brand strategies those who can help consumers to save money out of their weekly shopping Bill So just give us a lay of the land in the UK How does that shape up from a competitive standpoint Who do you think might be net beneficiary versus maybe a net loser here Well I think we already seeing this is we've got the German discount companies Aldi and little which you have in the U.S. as well Who are clearly gaining market share on some figures from kantar today the two combined have got to 15% market share which is a record high level for them but for them And I think what we're seeing is that the more established supermarkets sales as to a lesser extent Tesco are all finding it difficult to maintain the same level of sales that they had historically How about just give us a sense of how digital sales are in the retail space in the UK versus the U.S. They bought by a lot more things online today than they did more than two years ago including groceries What's the lay of the land in the UK Yeah I mean on digital I mean I think we've got a position where compared to the pre-pandemic level It's much higher in for grocery It's around 12% of the sales at the moment But at the height of the pandemic it has got about 16 or 17% So it's fallen back from the peak levels that just had been at And essentially we've got every retailer every supermarket in the UK involved in digital to a greater or lesser extent So we talk about inflation we're feeling it all over as you mentioned and obviously in the food space But also in energy gasoline diesel that kind of thing And when that bill goes up that is really felt in consumers pocketbooks Are you seeing that in the UK How long is expected to be elevated and how does that play out in consumer spending Well in the very in the short term which I mean it's quite a few months I mean spending on motor fuel is an absolute necessity people have to get to work at the moment they're probably using cars more than they did pre-pandemic as public transport use is still restricted So this is a big build that is eating into other spending I think in the UK more importantly is the utility bills which are.

"Television and radio I'm David Weston We hear about it and we see it every single day The humanitarian disaster in Ukraine What is being done to so many innocent civilians every single day But there are people in Ukraine who are fighting to try to protect these people provide for them We're going to go now to some of your represents that group of people She's Avril Benoit She is emergency communications director for the organization we call Doctors Without Borders They have a French name but I never took French as I just said to her Thank you so much for being with us You're in as I understand leviev Give us a sense What's going on on the ground in lviv Yeah lviv is actually very safe If you ignore the air raid sirens which sometimes happened 5 times a day which of course we don't we go into the basement But this is a city UNESCO heritage site where it's considered relatively safe At least if you could say anywhere in Ukraine is safe So a lot of displaced people may be 200,000 people from other parts of Ukraine have ended up sheltering here We're using it as a main supply base because one of the main things that medical doctors hospitals and nurses have told us around Ukraine where they have a highly developed medical system highly trained and skilled medical expertise They have told us they lack certain things certain supplies So we bring it in through Poland for the most part through lviv and then dispatch it out to various hotspots around the country And the other thing that we've been able to do here as well as in many parts of the country is offer something that the Ukrainian positions as skilled as they are just don't have and that is we're trying to share our expertise in war wounded in triage in mass casualty responses and things like that So as you know I've discussed you're in the field I'm not So I'm not sure how it works but I'm inclined to ask take us from the west where you are across to the east and the gradations of the level of problems that you're facing Sure Well you see the map of some of the places where we're working It's not entirely complete because we're not necessarily always indicating where we're working but you can see lviv over there on the left by the Poland border And then you have a certain number of areas around the borders you know any number of countries where you have people who have fled The United Nations refugee commission says that there are just millions and millions and they tabulated every day But in places like Poland in Hungary and Moldova you have displaced people In Ukraine itself though that's where you have the most And as you move further into the interior to the capital of Kyiv and then onward into the east those are the real hot zones and coming down to the south you have Mario pole Mario Paul being the city that is entirely encircled perhaps even completely besieged And there are very daring rescues that are happening to try to get people out and medical supplies in and other kinds of lifesaving supplies into Mario pole largely led by the international committee of the Red Cross which of course has that particular mandate to negotiate that sort of access And then what we're doing is positioning our medical teams in the various places where people are likely to come out because we can then perhaps facilitate the transfer of those patients to safer places like lviv where they can get higher levels of care in a relatively safe environment So our worst simulcasting on radio as well as television so I'll just try to describe what we saw for our television audience is for our radiance is what we saw was some operations for medicines on frontier over in the western part of the state almost on the border with Moldova going over toward Poland Obviously in leave then also I saw it down in the south around Odessa it looked like and then operations in Kyiv as well Talking about Mary pole which seems to be just a terrible tragedy right now Can you get medical supplies into Mario poll at all at this point We can not We have tried a number of times and I know that there's always a convoy on standby standby that is trying to make the attempt So as I understand it there is an attempt going on right now as I say would be with the ICRC in the lead and we very much hope that they can have that access One of the things that we encountered when we had supplies loaded on flatbed trucks trying to reach Mario pole is that the road was just littered with mines with improvised explosive devices and things like that And certainly you can move a little cars zigzagging through the debris on the road and the various mines But you can not move trucks And so for us this was a massive devastating missed opportunity to bring supplies in and then at the same time bring people out on the other side Most of us think about what you need to do over there is related to injuries from the war At the same time there were infectious disease issues in Ukraine before this happened I've read about What was the medical state in Ukraine and to what extent has that been exacerbated by this war Yeah it's a really interesting question because certainly a lot of the attention right now is on war wounded and trauma What we're seeing though is that as we have seen for many many years there is with this elderly population chronic disease which now with the war is left unaddressed to some extent while the hospitals are the Ukrainian hospitals are prioritizing the war wounded The others who need to come in and deliver babies and children who need vaccinations and all the other care that people need people with diabetes need their insulin These are the areas which risk being neglected The other thing we're seeing is that people who are older have less income maybe no car have not been able to flee cities like Kyiv And so they're at home alone They don't have their medications or they've run out They don't have the energy or the mobility physically to be able to go and stand in line at a pharmacy that's run out of stock So there are all these gaps that are beginning to emerge And these are what you might call the knock on effect So you'll have the those who are killed and injured by direct impact of the war And then you're going to have those who become sick as an indirect impact of the war And so that is certainly an area of focus for the medical humanitarian intervention we're doing Monumental task Thank you so much for sharing with us That's Avril Benoit She is emergency communications coordinator for medicine San frontier And she is coming to us today from lviv Ukraine Coming up we're.

"In there and so we just want to get that out. Just e hydrating can a pretty substantial improvement some loss of mass And a better quality product without actually purifying. Anything else you know. And so that would be a good example of dislike known. Contaminant removal You could address that through a better extraction. Were you just got rid of that water in the first place but that might come at the compromise of less efficient extraction getting less than the total candidates. That are there so you can. You can do it when you extract being targeted the area if you do when you filter by being targeted in the middle That's the beauty is that we do have these options But now we wanna get into the rest of the color aspect of it is just removing a lot of that. Water is not really gonna change a lot of the appearance. A lot of those is zionism. Those pinks reds. They're gonna come out of that call. They will rinse free. Because they're big enough. You know unless you have a ton of play in there. That's making it physically difficult for them to mobilize. They're gonna run through what you've got to keep in mind. Is that if you do have the type of physical barrier you might be obstructing other large compounds like your cannabinoid other compounds that maybe you do want. If you don't rinse enough if you cut it off too early you might be missing esters And so that's your fruity flavors. That's your that's your like the strawberry blueberry and stuff doesn't turbines You know and so you've got to wait for those to come out of your call. They don't come out first and so What you end up with with all these different recipes is different proton therapy methods where the retention time is Basically unknown and then if you're not collecting it fractionally you have no control over what things come out. Where and so One of the best things about extraction that you concentrate the good stuff one worsening concentrates bad stuff in crc bolts. So i can with the right recipe with the right resistance and the right length depth pressure flow rate. Everything i can put away win and collect actions in such a way that i have just clear chirping over here and i have just at isolated candidates would really be clear or white crystalline In the middle. And then i can start collecting some of the more oily stuff into the denser sticky delta tonight where we see a lot of those flavonoids. Nassar's come out 'cause they stick to curious through with that So you know a lot of what comes out of a regular. Crc call follows the very predictable. Paths of a flash column or table. Top chromatography calm because of the principles. Exactly the same whether everyone wants to embrace. That are not the reason that it works. Is that turpin. The most soluble in your solvent. So they come out the fastest because they have no resistance. I always describe chromatography as a mirror. song rate. so you're out The best runner you know then they have to be able to run far enough that i have crossed the finish line individually when i'm judging a sprint. Someone's in their freaking camera you know. And they're in this milliseconds. You know that's like your nascar where your leg one tenth of a bumper behind somebody ryan. That's not how. I wanna collect fractions. I want you better marathon where i have time to like golf. Clap in a water. Take a photo and then oh here comes the next one you know space and time in capturing each of those in order to actually evaluate them so without marathon want want the same distance every time so that i can figure out where these runners come out and if a figure out where they come out pretty much come out the same. Every time if i do that enough this method could be perfected. In the same way any other chromatography method could be perfected in glass column or flash column or at. Hbo's year whatever you're using Principals the same right exactly but that does come from practicing in repeating the same method and then measuring it And so that's where the controversy of crc comes in because like anything if you do a bad job. Rick bad product and so poorly done desolate. Smells like hop fish garbage and is like sixty percent potency right so who needs that because it's not a better products right so the concept of dissolution is that i am using boiling point to purify compounds so it should be cleaner stronger and that would be the reason that it's better but if it isn't pure if it isn't narrow isolated if it isn't over ninety percent than it isn't good dissolute so that doesn't make all distillation joke that makes this distilled oil a joke right right. We we invented this noun. Distill it that you know. It's just like this. Ominous i product right. That could mean anything but at least in the realm of It always Oil that wasn't supposed to have flavor in the wrong here c. Which is the same thing now. We have a a now that should be describing a piece of equipment. It's being applied to your consumer product as well and so now anything that's been filtered with any type of solid phase whether it's just clay clay silica whether it's some weird combination there's a whole bunch of like proprietary products in different molecular save type of Compounds and a ucla's things like that. The people are using that have other. Industrial applications are very common We've now we've got a people just kind of blandly. Generally applying that to their output product in so a cr seed product could be from fresh frozen flower and be alive resin that is wet and sticky and has turbines at five percent of the total volume or it could be dry. Probably wax that has no flavor in his sixty percent potency. And so just like. It's you know comparable badly done distillate that. Crc would be groups An purified waxes in purified. Thc a not much else ray And so that would that would be the fault of the extractor. Because that's a bad method right. Yeah i mean you. You've brought up several important things here one. I love the The marathon analogy what. I was what i was taught when i first got into analytical chemistry was a to think about chromatography like a link oh board sort of like each every molecule is a different size ball. You know falling through all of these pigs and the bigger ones hit resistance as the smaller ones kinda just coast on through And then you can adjust the the pegs and the size of the board and only things and adjusts all that. But i really liked the marathon example. That really communicates that The harvesting of the fractions really well. Yeah but but what you just pointed out that like when people say that something is a crc treated product that has no single meaning in back apply to any chromatography method used in the extraction process. which is You know it's fascinating because the the argument around. Crc right now is like there's a camp of people that really want to know whether a product has been treated icrc or not and they'd like to see it on labels and all that shooting and that seems to be gaining a lot of steam which is worrying. Because you're talking about labelling something that itself is not define So it that ultimately brings out the risk of further misinforming people. Let's.
