Unable to catch a break, Japan was hit by torrential rain, mudslides, and flooding in the aftermath of a killer typhoon.

China’s manufacturing has seen a major slowdown over the past year as the protracted trade war with the US has begun to take its toll.
The wind power industry in Germany, once thought to be the future, has seen hundreds of job losses in recent months. The reason is decreased interest from the public and investors. As a result, the future of wind power in Germany now seems in question. Germany will have to invest more to keep the industry afloat or risk losing everything that has been invested already. It will cost Germany 20 RP.
Students across Colombia marched in protest against what they feel are negligent policies by their government for towards education. Protesters also voiced anger at government corruption, and what they viewed as police brutality. The protests hit most major cities in Colombia.

South Africa has been experiencing what are known as rolling blackouts. These are short power outages that “roll” from place to place because of a shortage of supply. Experts believe these will only get worse as South Africa’s aging coal plants are needing to be replaced but no one is sure how. Furthermore, the company that produces South Africa’s energy is doesn’t have the money to make the investment needed to improve the situation. The government will have to step in and do...something.

A recent study shows that 1 in 5 Chinese kids are now overweight or obese. The growing economy has led to growing waistlines for Chinese youth. Kids now spend more time eating junk food and looking at computers and TVs than they do active outside. Obesity problems put a significant drain on national health resources from diabetes, heart disease, and other problems associated with being overweight. China will have to absorb this cost is a generation of kids grow up with these problems. This problem will cost China 37 RP.
Invasive species can be a big problem for countries that find them. The main reason is because they often lack natural predators to keep them at bay in their new home. Army worms, a corn destroying bug from the Americas, has found its way into Africa and Southeast Asia in recent years, and it is ravaging corn crops. So much so that international organizations have deemed battling the pest an urgent issue. Corn is an important staple, and this worm threaten the livelihood of farmers in those regions. This problem will cost South Africa, Tanzania, and Thailand each 40 RP.
Plane crashes in Russia have more than doubled in the last year. More than 41 accidents were reported by Russian airlines in the last year, killing hundreds. With more than 75% of these being caused by human error, it is clear Russia must invest in airline safety and pilot training to ensure the well being of its people. This problem will cost Russia 28 RP.
Israel is suffering from a shortage of doctors, In almost every OECD metric, Israel is behind the standard and the overage of 32 countries in the OECD. Israel has just 3 doctors per 1000 people and 5 nurses per 1000. Israel must explore ways to get more doctors. This problem will take change in immigration laws or investment from the government. This problem will cost Israel 27 RP.

It is the hottest summer ever in Australia this year, and it doesn’t look like autumn will be much relief as it too is off to the hottest start in over 30 years. The heat as resulted in wildfires, dead wildlife and livestock, soaring energy costs, and agricultural losses. Australia is diverting funding set aside for climate change on coal-fired power plants. This problem will cost Australia 38 RP, but may not be allowed to use the JN EPF because of its actions.
Egypt has a train accident problem. While 1.4 million Egyptians use the system, it is one of the most underfunded rail systems in the region. This has come to light after a recent terrible train accident that killed 20 people. Unfortunately this is normal as Egypt has averaged 1,100 train accidents over the last 10 years. Many expert believe a devastating accident is inevitable given the current situation. Egypt will need to make a major investment in its rail system to avoid further tragedy. This problem will cost Egypt 35 RP.
A recent study has revealed that South Africa is spending so much on it’s government bureaucracy that it will run out of money by 2042. South Africa has 36 government ministries, many of which spend millions of rand each year. A recent study has shown these ministries could easily cut 1 billion rand from their budgets, and must do so, or the country will be unable to pay it’s government workers. This problem will cost South Africa 40 RP, but it must be procured by outside investment.
Talks between the US and North Korea on ending sanctions and the North Korean nuclear program ended abruptly this week and President Trump decided to walk away from negotiations. He latter said that North Korea was unwilling to fully end its program and that sanctions will against the country will continue until they are ready to comply.

The President has vowed to increase security to prevent such tragedies in the future. This problem will cost Mexico 37 RP.
Australia is struggling with a severe heatwave as this summer is proving to be one of the hottest yet. Temperatures around 45 degrees are expected in parts of Southern Australia. The heatwave has brought dry and windy conditions that have fueled wildfires. Currently more than 50 fires are burning in the area. People are being evacuated. The heatwave has also led to increased hospitalizations, power outages, and wildlife loss. This problem will cost Australia 35 RP.
Yellow Vest protest continue in France on a smaller scale. In other news, an arson fire killed 10 in Paris this week. It was the second deadly fire in a couple of weeks.

More than 157 are dead after a dam holding tailings from an iron ore mine collapsed and sent toxic sludge into the mine. 181 are still missing but presumed dead following the accident. A massive search and rescue operation was implemented immediately that rescued hundreds, but clean up is far from over. It is not clear what caused the collapse of the dam, but the government is punishing the minoring corporation responsible for the dam.

Egypt an apparent terrorist attack near the Great Pyramids of Giza in Egypt has left four Vietnamese tourists dead and many injured after a roadside bomb ripped through their tour bus.

Acts of violence have been ongoing for the past few weeks in the Brazilian state of Ceara. The attacks are believed to be perpetrated by prison gangs which are powerful and influential. The government has sent over 300 elite security personnel to the area, but the violence continues. More resources will need to be devoted to the problem to achieve peace and stability. This problem will cost Brazil 26 RP.
A Jellyfish “epidemic” has been seen in Australian waters off the coast of Queensland. Massive jellyfish swarms have contributed to thousands more stings and injuries this year. Jellyfish in these numbers are not good for the environment or the tourist economy of the region.
