And we demand respect.

And to be honored for our contribution,

you share the wealth because you cannot exist without us.

More than 160,000 actors have begun their first major strike

since 1980.

And for the first time since 1960, actors

and screenwriters on strike at the same time,

shutting down Hollywood, we'll get the latest.

Then we look at the catastrophic rise of global hunger.

345 million people are facing acute food insecurity.

This is a major increase when compared to 2020.

since the Cold War.

All that and more coming up.
