a new mayor coming in and his policy alone can change how big businesses, small businesses and even wall street reacts. and he's also a big fan of crypto. so there's another topic to keep an eye on as well. plenty to look forward to our nostradamus, james sweeney in new york. have a happy new year. thank you very much. i be new you now to some of the other global business stories making news. president ottawa has urged tucks to keep their savings in lira and said recent exchange rank volatility was under control. the layer is lost than he 45 percent of its value. it's washed year in 2 decades. the turkish president also asked for trust in his unorthodox policies of slashing interest rates. despite soaring inflation and germany has shut down half of its remaining 6 nuclear power plants is part of the government commitment made shortly after the focus sheeman nuclear disaster in 2011. the final 3 nuclear plants will close next year. the move has recently proved controversial as energy costs rise
