Eli Beer is a pioneer, social entrepreneur, President and Founder of United Hatzalah of Israel. In thirty years, the organization has grown to more than 6,500 volunteers who unite together to provide immediate, life-saving care to anyone in need - regardless of race or religion. This community EMS force network treats over 730,000 incidents per year, in Israel, as they wait for ambulances and medical attention. Eli’s vision is to bring this life-saving model across the world. In 2015, Beer expanded internationally with the establishment of branches in South America and other countries, including “United Rescue” in Jersey City, USA, where the response time was reduced to just two minutes and thirty-five seconds.

Assessing Trump's 100 days of economic chaos 13:30

for 9 dager siden13:30

13:30

As the US and the world mark Donald Trump's 100 days in office, we look at what the milestone means for business. The US president ran in large part on a pledge to "Make America Wealthy Again", promising that his tariffs – a vestige of the 19th century, for most economists – would return manufacturing jobs to America and trigger a stock market boom. Can this strategy work? Or is it hurting both the US and the global economy? FRANCE 24's Charles Pellegrin speaks to Isabel Guzman, the founder of Avenida Advisors and a former administrator of the Small Businesses Administration during the Biden presidency. She also chairs the Global Risk Advisory Council, which maps out and assesses reputational risks for companies and organisations.…

How geopolitics and trade wars are reshaping the global economy 15:12

15:12

Countries that once followed the gospel of free trade and liberalism are changing tack and focusing on national interests before anything else, with Donald Trump’s America being a case in point. Our business editor Charles Pellegrin takes a deep dive into how geopolitics is reshaping the global economy with David Baverez. He's a French investor based in Hong Kong and author of the book "Bienvenue en économie de guerre" or "Welcome to the wartime economy", published in French by Novice.…

Moscow's next target? Heeding Estonia's call for more defence spending 15:18

for 22 dager siden15:18

15:18

The Baltic nation of Estonia has been calling for a significant boost in EU defence spending for years and is now seeing that call heeded. Sharing a 300-kilometre border with Russia, Estonia would be on the front lines in case of an invasion. Tallinn has committed to bump up the country's defence spending to 5 percent of GDP by next year – well above the current NATO commitment of 2 percent. For more, FRANCE 24's Charles Pellegrin speaks to Estonian Foreign Affairs Minister Margus Tsahkna. Watch more Estonian city of Narva prepares for potential Russian invasion…

Gig economy: The plight of delivery workers 11:33

for 4 weeks siden11:33

11:33

From food delivery and ride-hailing apps to handywork and domestic services, millions of people around the globe work within the so-called gig economy – a term applied to independent contractors or freelancers, usually on digital apps. While the flexibility offered by online gig platforms can be attractive, it comes at the cost of limited job security, lack of social protection and sometimes exploitation. But gig workers are getting organised with protests and even some advances. To better understand the plight of these workers, Charles Pellegrin talks to Jamie Woodcock, a senior lecturer in digital economy at King's College London and author of "The Fight Against Platform Capitalism: An Inquiry into the Global Struggles of the Gig Economy". Also in the programme, we bring you a report from our correspondent in China , where all three of the country's top delivery platforms almost simultaneously announced new social security benefits for their drivers in March.…

Hunger and malnutrition: The cost of inaction 13:07

for 6 weeks siden13:07

13:07

The fight against malnutrition, the world's leading cause of infant mortality, was chronically underfunded even before the US halted its funding for humanitarian aid and development. As Paris hosts the Nutrition for Growth summit this week, we look at how healthy eating isn't just a developmental issue but also an economic one. Every dollar invested in nutrition generates a return of 23 dollars, while malnutrition can cost up to tens of billions of dollars to the economy. So why is hunger and malnutrition still an issue today and how do we generate the political will to fix this problem? Charles Pellegrin talks to Joel Spicer, president and CEO of Nutrition International and Cleo Kawawaki of the Asian Development Bank.

OECD Global Debt Report: Borrowing has nearly tripled since 2007 12:58

12:58

The Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) has released its Global Debt Report for 2025, and the conclusion is that the world is practically drowning in debt at record levels. As European nations pledge to boost their defence spending in the face of a new transatlantic security reality, and as burgeoning trade wars threaten to raise prices faster, are countries able to achieve growth while keeping borrowing in check? FRANCE 24's Yuka Royer speaks to Carmine Di Noia, the OECD's Director for Financial and Enterprise Affairs.…

Russia's wartime economy: Resilient or on the edge of collapse? 12:11

Since it invaded Ukraine in February 2022, Russia's economy has proved to be robust despite sanctions, inflation and labour shortages. But how long can it last? Charles Pellegrin takes a deep dive with his guest Richard Connolly, associate fellow and specialist on the Russian economy at the Royal United Services Institute (RUSI) in the UK. He is also the author of a commentary titled “Russia’s Wartime Economy isn’t as Weak as it Looks”.…

The global rise of online scams: 'Call centres' flourish in Southeast Asia 12:16

Online scamming has reached global proportions, with an estimated 200,000 people forced to execute lucrative scams in Myanmar and Cambodia alone. This week's show delves into a criminal activity that's grown into a $500 billion per year industry that now rivals the illegal drug trade in size. Charles Pellegrin speaks to Sue-Lin Wong, The Economist’s Southeast Asia correspondent and creator of an eight-part podcast investigation into the scamming industry entitled "Scam Inc".…

A model in crisis: Germans head to polls amid economic downturn 13:22

for 11 weeks siden13:22

13:22

The economy is a top concern for voters in Germany as they go to the polls on Sunday to elect a new government. The country has seen two consecutive years of economic contraction and this stagnation could very well continue for a third year. Its post-Covid recovery was completely stunted by Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine and the energy crisis that followed, laying bare Berlin's deep dependence on Moscow's oil and gas. Now the return of Donald Trump as US president is further muddying the prospects for growth. To better understand how Germany got here and how it can dig itself out of this hole, Charles Pellegrin talks to Shahin Vallée, senior research fellow at the German Council on Foreign Relations.…

AI Action Summit: Does regulation stifle innovation? 12:33

for 12 weeks siden12:33

12:33

After the Paris AI Action Summit wrapped up earlier this week, we look at the future of AI governance and its impact on the global economy. In a bid to make up for lost time, Europe and France have pledged significant boosts in artificial intelligence investments and promised to keep regulations from stifling innovation. FRANCE 24's Charles Pellegrin speaks to Sasha Rubel, European head of generative AI policy at Amazon Web Services, and Alexandre Zapolsky, the president and co-founder of Linagora, a French open-source software editor and creator of the Lucie chatbot, which has made quite a few headlines in the past few weeks.…

AI Action Summit: Can Europe catch up with the US and China? 12:50

for 13 weeks siden12:50

12:50

Political leaders, tech executives, scientists and experts are gathering to Paris to discuss the future of artificial intelligence. Summit host France dreams of becoming a leader in the disruptive technology. Back in 2018, President Emmanuel Macron launched a national strategy to mobilize €2.5 billion in public and private funds to develop homegrown applications. But competition is fierce, and the US and China have a particularly strong lead over European firms. FRANCE 24's Charles Pellegrin talks to France's special envoy for the AI Action Summit, Anne Bouverot. In addition to being mandated with organising this event, she also presides over France's commission on artificial intelligence and has had a long career as a tech executive and researcher.…

In this special edition from the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, Charles Pellegrin sits down with Nigeria's Industry, Trade and Investment⁣ Minister Jumoke Oduwole. They discuss the return of Donald Trump as US president and how his policies might impact the oil-rich African country, as well as the challenges of diversifying the economy and attracting investors. Following a change in administration in May 2023, Nigeria has been pursuing bold economic reforms but inflation still remains high. Will 2025 will bring the "renewed hope" promised by Bola Tinubu's administration?…

Davos 2025: The risks of a change in global order under Trump 12:22

for 15 weeks siden12:22

12:22

This week we're in Davos, Switzerland for the World Economic Forum, where global leaders from the world of politics, business and academia get together and assess the obstacles facing the global economy in the upcoming year. This year, all eyes are on US President Donald Trump. How will his policies impact the world in 2025? Charles Pellegrin talks to Eurasia Group President Ian Bremmer, who publishes a global risk report each year. Another buzzword in Davos this year is AI. Progress in artificial intelligence is advancing at a rapid pace, but regulators are struggling to keep up and opting for a lighter touch – thereby leaving the risks and collateral damage of AI unchecked. Meanwhile, international cooperation on the topic appears to be faltering. For more on this topic we speak to Eric Xing, who is president of the world's only AI-focused university, Mohamed bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence in Abu Dhabi and co-founder of GenBio AI, a biotech company that has succeeded in developing the first phase of the world's first AI digital organism.…

Ahead of the November 5 US presidential election, both Vice President Kamala Harris and former president Donald Trump have been courting union support. Some 14 million American voters are union members, and they could prove to be a deciding force in several battleground states. We take a closer look in this edition of People & Profit. Bob Bruno, Professor of Labor and Employment Relations at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, says there are "stark" differences between the candidates' labour proposals, which are reflected in the number of union endorsements that Harris has received. "Those kinds of endorsements really do matter. Organised labour has lost a lot of its political clout, but even with reduced membership, it can still be a decider in national elections, particularly in many of the competitive states." Bruno notes that in the post-pandemic era, power has shifted to workers, and led to more public support for union action. "Both the structural moment and the realisation among workers, an increased consciousness, that only through collective action could they maximise their power, has led to this moment where we see very high-profile and successful strikes, along with increased numbers of workers organising, increased numbers of workers filing complaints about management abuse, and workers winning more." He adds that Joe Biden 's presidency will be remembered for legislation that supports labour and protects workers' rights. "He justifiably has earned that moniker, as the most pro-union president in the modern era."…
