10:04 am
more downward trends on these markets later on. as we go through this week, that is a, is having the effect of her, of increasing the value of the dollar quite markedly against asian currencies, particularly the japanese yen. at one point monday, the one us dollar was buying a $135.00 japanese yen. it's hasn't been that strong in more than 20 years and that the truck as strike arrived in south korea continues. how much disruption is that causing? this is a concern here in south korea. we're now in de 7 of this strike here. so at the end of the 1st week this is a powerful union, it's the truckers union is more than $20000.00 members and they have been a campaigning for a rate freight guarantee. basically a minimum wage guarantee that to safeguard themselves against rising prices, in particular, rising fuel costs are putting fuel in their trucks. now they are, i've been taking industrial action there, which at times has been quite militants targeting various things like distribution
10:05 am
centers, port facilities, car factories and so on. or which in turn has then affected the supply of things like components for production line. so we are seeing a knock on effect into other businesses and industries. things like the car industry, the production of steel and cement of all been impacted. these are industries that were already struggling by the so called supply chain problems, which of the seem to have been a global problem as we come out of the pandemic. so we are starting the 2nd week of this industrial action a with as yet no and insight. thank you for that. rob mcbride live there in. so let's check in with pub in town now in your daily pass me a record for, for india skanky. now so in just currency and the stock market are responding to global concerns, the biggest worry is the situation in the united states. the worry is that the high interest rates over there could end up increasing interest rates are behind fashion
10:06 am
over there rather could end up impacting our interest rates. the other situation that is causing concern is the outbreak the coven 19 outbreak in china, particularly in beijing and shanghai. and what this could mean for the chinese economy, as well as the global economy, the indian ruby is now trading at its lowest levels in history. this has wiped our hundreds of millions of dollars of india as our foreign currency resolve. investors have lost millions of dollars in the stock market, and in the us top companies have also lost billions of dollars in their valuation. now all of this is playing out as there are concerns about uneven growth domestically food. inflation is at a record high. there is an unprecedented heat wave that has damaged crops in central and northern india. the government says it expects themed in economy to
10:07 am
grow at about 9 percent, but economist point out that hundreds of millions of vulnerable engines are not are going to benefit from this both. thank you for that path natal at live in new delhi . in other world news, a bipartisan group of senators in the united states has agreed on a framework for new gun control laws. it's aimed at curving, rising violence and would keep weapons away from people deemed to be a threats. but critics say the measures don't go far enough. my can every, for some washington the framework agreement follows weeks up closed door negotiations in the senate. it's one of the 1st bipartisan gun control agreements in decades. we haven't had significant federal legislation in nearly 30 years. so having a framework announced, having 10 republican senators, long with 10 democrats signing off on that, which would avoid the filibuster in the united states senate. it's
10:08 am
a really big deal. the tentative agreement has been welcomed by president biden, who's tweeted, i want to thank senator chris murphy and the bipartisan group for the gun safety proposal that does not do everything that i think is needed. but it reflects important steps in the right direction with bipartisan support. there are no excuses for delay. let's get this done. but some don't want it done. i think it's deeply disappointing that republican leadership decided to get in league with the democratic conference in the senate to put together a gun control bill. you know, that should be a huge red flag for republican voters going into the fall. significant proposals include incentives for states to pass so called red flag laws, which allow a judge to decide whether a gun via or owner poses a potential threat to others. federal background checks and buyers under $21.00 would include access to their records as minors and federal funding for mental
10:09 am
health care and increase school security. so, but these measures for well short of what's being demanded by gun control. advocates including president biden himself at rallies across us saturday. calls were made for a bad on the sale of semi automatic weapons and high capacity magazines. and for the age at which an individual can buy a rifle raised from $18.00 to $21.00, to match the existing federal law concerning hand guns, assault rifles we used in the mess, shootings, and you valve the texas and in buffalo, new york. in each case, they were wielded by 18 year olds, the senate to subset an informal goal of passing the bull before the 24th of the month. when congress goes on a 2 week recess back with the legislation still not fully written. it's unlikely that this goals will be met and it's
10:10 am
certain that the modest suggestions will do little to ease the mounting pressure on politicians to pass meaningful gun control measures or face the consequences in the midterm elections. mike hannah, august era, washington in france, present a manual. my cause majority in the national assembly hangs in the balance. preliminary results suggests his interest coalition is neck and neck with its left wing wyvil after the 1st round of parliamentary elections. as natasha butler reports, the president's party is likely to win the most seized, but that may not be enough. the french president looked to relaxed as he voted in the coastal resort of little k. but emmanuel, my call face is a challenging week after the 1st round of frances parliamentary elections. he sent tristan lyons, his own track to windlow seats, but not necessarily the majority. he needs to push ahead with his reformer, gender,
10:11 am
who's from the 3rd 4th, for the judge. we are the only political movement and a position to win a majority in the national assembly. we have one week before us to rally our forces one week to persuade one week to win a strong and clear majority. only such a strong and clear majority will enable us to respond to the urgent issues which affect the daily lives of french people. a clever or a new left wing block that includes greens, communists and socialists created by far left leadership. incremental shaw has emerged as the main rival to macros party. it's attracted voters concerned over the cost of living and climate change. jerbill neutral program, i call on our people viewing this result and this opportunity for our personal lives and for the nation. i column people to go out and reject once and for all the funeral projects with macro do more. the far right and conservative parties trailed the centrists and the left in an election that's largely fail to capture photos. imagination turned out was that in historic low,
10:12 am
with less than half of those eligible costing their ballots. this phone comes less than 2 months after the presidential campaign, so there's definitely a sense of election fatigue. it's also the case though, that a growing number of people in france feel fed up of politics and politicians, and increasingly disengaged from the political process with a tight race ahead parties will step up their campaigns in a critical test for the president. the big lesson of this 1st round for him and erin mccoys, that he is not certain to have an absolute majority in parliament, and that will make his life more difficult if he hasn't got one. so he is tried to hummer this message in the last few days before the 1st run and he will be trying to push that message for the 2nd ra. give me a majority. in one week, voters will return to the polls for the 2nd round of the election and will determine how france is governed for the next 5 years. whether there will be a swing to the left or more of the same. natasha butler out to sara,

10:17 am
definitely makes her feel like we're still left in the dark. i do feel that we can do more, you know, i just, i don't think family we these, these practices that we're asking for, such as ethan for kimberly, for the education in the storage indication in refundable ownership and penalty for those individual who are acting in negligence. would not affect any responsible gun owner that i know or even my family. it's really kind of hard for some of us to understand why it's so difficult for you. it will be then to really define those negligent people from us, responsible gun owners. you know, it's an unfortunate reality that we live here in the us, but it does not have to be this way forever. these are incremental changes that are vastly important that we do come through and pass that just as you know what was discussed prior to coming here to this moment. this is simply a draft,
10:18 am
this is not the final, the final draft to be passed right away. so there is still time for these members of the senate to have discussion, to really take into consideration other ways that we can improve these different titles in this bill. please in brazil say they have identified items belonging to a reporter and indigenous rights expert who went missing in the amazon, a backpack, a laptop, and an identification cod were found in the it's a chi river. indigenous wide, expert boone up herrera and british journalist dom phillips disappeared a week ago. a men were on a reporting trip in a remote jungle area near the border with through and columbia. when he came knocking every force from the engineer. oh, dolly blue. oh, going a vigil for british journalist dom phillips and indigenous expert group. it eda,
