Brands barbie, fisher price and moi, that is mattel to find out how his company s fortunes are being revived. Wherever you are joining around the world, once again hello and welcome to the programme. It is a billion dollar industry driven by creativity and innovation with a global reach and a diverse market. The toy industry is forecast to reach $302 billion in sales by 2030 and that estimate is at the conservative end of the scale. But falling birth rates and some of the highest inflation rates we have seen in decades have created challenging conditions for manufacturers and retailers and signal more tough times to come. While the covid pandemic boosted sales of toys and games temporarily, big name companies reported sales have started to slip back once again. Let s look at some of those numbers. Local toy sales reached $108. 7 billion in 2023, a 2% drop compared to 2022 with toy companies calling it a normalisation process after that exceptional growth linked to the pandemic. But acr
On the app. So it was kind of a laundry list of issues. More broadly, mike, were you surprised that this happened in france? so, this is. . . One of the fascinating aspects of this case is, you know, it s a big deal in any sort of country at this point, i believe, to really take under arrest the ceo of a major tech company, especially one used by almost a billion people, that telegram is. I think the distinction that s important here is that the arrest was made not under eu sort of broader laws, but specifically under french sort ofjurisdiction. And i also think that other tech ceos are looking at that and what that means for travel across different countries, not. . . I think durov is a different case because of how uncooperative he has been with different countries over the years but it s something to look at. Related to that, my bbc news colleague joe tidy has been reporting in the last few hours that telegram refuses to join international programmes aimed at detecting and removin
Jesse: welcome to a special edition of jesse watters primetime. I m pete heckseth in for jesse on friday night. Well, the grades are in and kamala harris last night flunked her exam. Did you see her on television last night? [ crowd boos ] this is going to be the president of our country? i don t think so. And it s the first interview she s done in like nobody s ever seen anything like about and if you re too weak to do a oneonone werp interview with a person that was so soft you know, i know dana. She s always, you know always nasty. It was a very weak interview from the standpoint of cnn. I think cnn should be ashamed with themselves. Just like joe with the debate, the country watched the kamala harris bubble pop in real time last night. As trump mentioned it wasn t because cnn s dana basht asked any hard hitting questions. She did not. Kamala proved she s not obama and she s not even biden. She s worse. What we re about to show you hide the kids will shock you. Not only did she not
Week when i had a little bit of a bug. I really appreciate it. You are welcome and the best news, you ve gotten better, so you have a great labor day weekend. Thanks, chris. You know, labor day weekend, it s finally here. The next three days are the time when americans everywhere try to get the most out of their summer. Maybe squeeze in one last cookout for beach trip before the weather gets colder and everything starts to taste like pumpkin spice. But in an election year like this one, labor day weekend also marks the moment when most americans really start to pay attention to the presidential race and for the campaigns this is a moment when every detail starts to matter. Vice president kamala harris and her running mate tim walz are coming off a two day bus tour through southern georgia. The first democratic campaign in that part of the state since 1992. Last night the vice president sat down for her first major interview since becoming her party s nominee. She defended the record of
Our premier event is taking place september 7th in brooklyn, new york. I will be there with the rest of the gang, you do not want to miss it. Good evening from new york, we have a two hour special edition of all in on this labor day weekend yves, we are 67 days out from the election which i cannot believe, the past 24 hours have been a microcosm of the whole race, you ve got kamala harris and tim walz doing the standard campaign work, they kept an even keel in a sitdown interview last night that went through a lot of the republican charges against them. And while they are doing that, trump is out there and honestly stumbling to put together english sentences. His campaign keeps making a mess, including an enormous one tonight which we are going to get to. Both the candidate and his aides are as usual posting through it, the fallout continues from his political photo operand campaign commercial on tiktok at arlington national cemetery at the beginning of the week where he gave the thumb
