FIFA laittaa rauhallisuusmuutoksen suhteen 871 miljoonaan. Se on maailman suurin rauhallisuusmuutoksen suhteen. Jokainen valitettava maa saa 12,5 miljoonaa. Ennen kuin menemme Host Citiesiin, katsotaan, mikä on nykyinen taito. Matti?
Host cities which put the games on, they don't see very much of that money that Matt has just totaled up. And this is where the money story gets really interesting. Eleven cities in the United States, three in Canada and three in Mexico. They all agreed to host. They built the fan zones, retrofitted the stadiums, arranged transport, paid for security.
He sopivat FIFA-kontrakteja vuonna 2017, ennen kuin he ajattelivat, että he olisivat vahvistuneet. He eivät saaneet mitään tikkiturvallisuutta, eivät saaneet mitään järjestelmäturvallisuudesta, eivät saaneet mitään paikallisuutta, eivät saaneet mitään myrkyttä. Kaikki tämä liittyy FIFA ja sen liikuntapartnerille. Yksi kaupunki katsoi perustukset ja meni läpi. Chicago ei koskaan vahvistunut. Allen Rothenberg meni viimeisen World Cupin 1994-tournamentin.
Sanoja kohdistuu. Yhdysvaltalaiset ja paikalliset lainsäädäntöjärjestöt tukevat 625 miljoonaa turvallisuutta 11 amerikkalaisilla kaupungilla. New Jersey yksikössä on 62 miljoonaa lainsäädäntöä
to transport fans to MetLife Stadium for eight matches, including the final. Outside grants covered only 14 million of that. And getting to the ground, return train tickets to MetLife Stadium cost $98. The standard fare for the same journey is $12.90, so that's more than eight times the normal price. New Jersey's governor said FIFA contributed $0 to the transport bill.
FIFA has disputed that, arguing the 2018 agreements called for free fan transportation, but the gap between what the cities expected and what the contracts delivered has shaken confidence, even among people who were there in 1994.
So Matt, where did all that money go? To fever. That nine billion works out at around six million dollars a day. And from there it goes to the competing nations, prize money, development funding, grassroots football in countries where without it the game would barely exist without financial support. The host cities get none of the tournament revenue directly. They're banking on the economic activity, the hotels, the restaurants, the tax receipts. But whether that covers the bill is another question.
So that's the 2026 World Cup, and that's where the money went. Matt, you're a big football fan, aren't you? Who's your money on actually winning the tournament this year? Well, we've come close at a lot of tournaments recently, so surely it's England's year. All England fans always think it's their year. For me, it's got to be France or Spain. Enjoy the tournament, whatever your team's chances. Business Daily Follow the Money from the BBC World Service was written and presented by me, Sam Fenwick. The producer was Matt Lyons.
This relief will provide much-needed certainty to farmers as they get... Late last year, Donald Trump unveiled financial aid worth $12 billion for farmers to help them navigate export losses and persistent inflation.
Anne Schwagel is a grain farmer in Minnesota and vice president of the Minnesota Farmers Union.
Inflation has pushed costs up at a time when prices for some crops are down thanks to strong harvests and lower demand.
On top of that, tariffs push Chinese buyers to look to other markets for soybeans.
So have they returned as relations have thawed?
Sid Miller is the Texas Agriculture Commissioner and an eighth-generation farmer and rancher.
What about those short-term cost increases, though, that Anne was just talking about?
Jeff Winton is a dairy farmer on Lake Erie in New York State.
He's also been squeezed, getting less for milk because wholesale prices have been affected by oversupply and changing consumer trends.
And Jeff says the administration's clampdown on immigration has contributed to labor shortages.
Here's Texas Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller again.
I want a market.
