I'm your host, Carl Jesus.

We're traveling all over Asia today, and our first story concerns a food shortage in North Country's population is just over 25 million people, and about 40% of them were talking.

About 10 million people could be going hungry in the months ahead if they're not.

Already, the United Nations says North Korea has just had its worst harvest in 10 years.

There are a number of reasons why the U.

N blames drought, flooding and heat waves.

A combination of the three and the government of the United States blames North Korea's leadership as well, saying that if the communist country stop spending so much on its nuclear and missile programs, its people wouldn't be as starved and neglected as they are.

Is the current food shortage the beginning of a famine?

The U.

N isn't calling it at this point.

North Korea did suffer a widespread famine in the mid 19 nineties, and it was a time when anywhere from several 100,000 to several 1,000,000 people died.

This year.

Experts say there are a number of troubling signs concerning food in North Korea.

But there are eight agencies and countries willing to help North Korean farmers prepare the land for rice planting, a staple food in the country.

This'll footage was filmed last month by the United Nations World Food Program, one of the few aid groups allowed to operate in North Korea.

It is warning that recent climate conditions mean 40% of the population and now in need of urgent food assistance.

What is clear is that the about drought it wave and floats this year as badly impacting the crop production.

The report from W.

F P and the UN's Food and Agriculture Organization says.

Those most at risk our young Children and pregnant women, they warn of families being forced to cut meals or eat less.

It's a warning that's being heard at the highest levels.

President Trump spoke by phone to South Korean President Moon Jae in last week and supported the South's desire to send humanitarian aid would have the effect of cracking open the door from the current stalemate in talks.

President Trump expressed a total support in that regard.

This, despite North Korea's suspected short range ballistic missile tests earlier this month, a violation of U.

N.

Resolutions.

South Korea's Unification Ministry says they are working on a plan to send aid, but no specifics yet.

For some experts, concerns of food and security may be valid, but the extent of the crisis is unclear.

Something bad is definitely head.

However, We should also keep in mind that food prices at free market free food prices are stable, and it's sort of does not agree.

These idea off famine just about to erupt.

W F P has 11 supported food factories in North Korea and provides nutritional assistance to some 770,000 malnourished women and Children.

It's report is based on information gathered during the assessment in country last month and in late 2018.

But W F P does acknowledge some data is provided by North Korea itself.

Experts fear that could be open to manipulation.

The U.

S has been skeptical off humanitarian aid for North Korea in the past because they say the Kim Jong UN is perfectly capable of feeding his own people.

He just chooses to divert millions of dollars into his nuclear and missile program.

But Trump softening of that starts could signal a return to eight shipments as an incentive the Pyongyang to come back to the negotiating table.

What is the only nation in the world that borders both Bangladesh and Pakistan?

Afghanistan, China, India or Nepal?

Northwestern India borders Pakistan and north eastern India.

Border Bangladesh.

The end is in sight for India's marathon election.

It began in early April.

It lasts more than five weeks.

It's carried out in several phases across the world's largest democracy, and that's why this is said to be the world's largest democratic exercise.

The seventh and final stage of voting begins on Sunday.

Results are expected to be announced on May 23rd and that's when the nation's 1.3 billion people will know whether the incumbent prime minister will remain in power or if India's leadership will change.

India is a densely populated country in land area.

It's a little over 1/3 the size of the United States, but India's eligible voters alone number 900 million people.

That's almost three times the size of the U.

S.

Population.

In addition to the challenges posed by an ongoing Multiphase election, there are issues of misinformation in the information age that are causing confusion and violence in the South Asian country.

As India votes a typical village scene in Northern Oughta Pradesh state.

A post lunch huddle about who might win.

These men are discussing the latest political news, their main source.

Messages and posts on Facebook and water.

What's up, music?

We only use what's up on Facebook?

That's the Internet for us.

And with the election, my phone is flooded with political messages.

Almost everyone spoken to in this village has a phone, and they're often relying on the messages they see there.

The politically themed videos and means to decide who gets their vote if their main source of news, the electoral battleground, it's in their hands.

But the terrain is murky, littered with fake news that can sometimes proved fatal, Authorities here say.

Fake rumors spread on what's APP, which is owned by Facebook, triggered mob attacks that claimed more than a dozen lives in 2018.

Experts in Indian politics are worried that during the elections, social media could be used to divide communities or, worse, trigger political violence.

Facebook, already under scrutiny after the 2016 U.

S.

Presidential election, has set up this election war room in California.

Sitting in Silicon Valley, these Facebook staffers are keeping a close eye on post, being seen by hundreds of millions of Indian voters.

We're starting to see a wide variety of different tactics that people might be using to interfere with the elections.

One of those that we've been investing a lot in our capabilities around is video or audio that might be altered to not be truthful.

Indian police are also worried.

This is just one of the many special units set up to monitor social media around the clock on what's up has launched a massive campaign toe worn Indians about the threat off fake news.

With more than 200 million users, this is the apse single biggest market back in the British.

The problem is clear.

Voters say it's often hard to figure out which political message on social media Israel and which is fake.

So the message way we can't trust every message.

We get a lot off fake messages.

We just don't know what's true.

Social media has become Maur than just a tool for mobilizing support.

It's become a weapon for peddlers of misinformation and voted like these often don't know what to believe.

Macoco Marr, CNN Pradesh, India As we approach the 50th anniversary of when astronauts first walked on the moon, U.

S President Donald Trump says he's adding $1.6 billion to NASA's budget in addition to the 21 billion the agency's already requested.

The goal.

To get people back to the moon by 2024.

If that happens, they could have less surface to stand on because the moon may be shrinking.

Scientists have been studying pictures of the moon's surface from NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, part of 1/2 $1,000,000,000 mission that was launched in 2009.

Researchers say they've seen thousands of cliffs scattered across the moon's surface, and that's led them to believe that it's slowly been shrinking over time, like the skin of a grape is, it shrinks into a raisin, Scientists say this causes the moon's crust to break and form the cliffs that it also causes moon quakes which aren't called earthquakes.

Because moon this has made the moon more than 160 feet skinnier according to scientists, than it was when someone last set foot there in 1972.

Some people think Starbucks is expensive.

It ain't got nothing on this cup of coffee that's being sold in a coffee house in San Francisco, California the place got hold of a coffee called Elite a Geisha 803 ah, Bruce, so elusive that only £100 of it were recently sold at auction.

It is the most expensive coffee in the world, and it said to taste smooth and like fruit.

Some may be pressed to macchiato more money and filter the funds to the coffee shop.

Others would Kappa Psi.
