security and lena bear book that speaking alongside your secretary of state antony blank and less cross to our financial correspondent in new york. yann's quarter gens was sort of a toll as a week of uncertainty over russia's next move taken on wall street. clearly i mean, we did see pressure for a 2nd week in a row, and it's not really surprising because everything seems to be could happen over this weekend. so investors are definitely not going into this market at this point . the blue chips down for a good 2 percent for the week, and then we don't just have the situation in the ukraine. but we're also talking about all the inflation pressure you in the united states. so much more aggressive federal reserve probably in the next couple of months. so all of that combined does cause a lot of uncertainty. and when we see uncertainty, investors attend to south stocks. indeed. and it's actually, it's not just on their stock market that thing and impact is it?
10:19 pm
well, what are we thing elsewhere in terms of commodities, for example? yes, sure. i mean, not necessarily today, but in general we do see a lot of pressure on commodity prices. i mean, pressure, meaning that they are on the right. so, i mean, all price is pretty much at the highest level in about him 7 years. even if we got a little bit oil prices came down a bit in the past 23 trading days because there was a hope for another agreement between the european union, the us and i ran. but overall, i mean if you look at metal prices, if you look at commodities, if you look at gasoline, and i mean all of that is in general period trading to the upside. we could see pressure on supply on the supply side. and that in general is driving prices for commodities higher. ok, well at the end of a busy week for you again, go to thank you very much for joining us. once again on
10:20 pm
d w business. meanwhile at the g 20 meeting in bali inflation was also at the top of the list of concerns, finance ministers and top central bankers are hoping that new policy tools can help control price rises. any fair inflation will undermine wages and making new debt taken on by government. hard to pay down you all here. some financial aid is also wary of deregulating. the recovery of that already 9 fragile economies so many on now, i'm sorry, very many are their own. the planning cautious, winding, excuse me, that it does make a lot of sense. but anyway, if you would just say someone that we spoke to a little bit earlier on on dw business we had from l. yelton, he's an economist and professor at constance university of applied sciences in germany, i speaking to d. w earlier, he said that elton at lee,
10:21 pm
it's the us that has the greatest role in determining the course of inflation globally in the u. s. for example, the federal reserve clearly indicated they don't consider the installation to be only temporary driven by corona, all white energy prices is because basically a to fast growing economy. and therefore interest rates will be increased, most likely. and my concern is, the u. s. has a key role here. if the fat is going to increase interest rate, this will of course, increase the capital costs globally on the market. and that will increase costs also for emerging economies like argentina, developing countries like in africa when it comes to refinancing next. so lank as economy has been in crisis for most of the pandemic with prices spiraling every day, items are getting more expensive. but now a new rule about fertilizers in the country is making even locally made staples.
10:22 pm
how to come by. pre on the roger boxer from sri lanka has been a rice farmer for 25 years. the whole time he relied on artificial fertilizers, but many people have gotten ill recently, and the government suspects a connection to the chemicals being used in agriculture. 6 months ago the fertilizers were banned something, roger pox, i can't understand. i've got about it. i farm about 20000 square meters that i, we used to harvest 35 bags of rice from that other have. now it's just for bags all because we can't use chemical fertilizers. i'm incredibly angry with the government . the won't. zelda, the lower yields due to the fertilizer band are exacerbating the already tense economic situation in the country. krishnan push pin up and has a small store where he sells rice, but fewer and fewer customers are stopping by. oh, i would estimate that 80 percent of my business is gone. even even 90 percent,
10:23 pm
every day the prices are going up. oh, you can't even be sure what a product will cost the next day. not gonna follow 40 debo that would the high inflation rate in the countries already huge mountain of debt, sri lanka is on the brink of economic collapse. a crisis that preamp the raj epoxy, is experiencing 1st hand. he doesn't know what the future holds. he is as good his broke and can hardly even buy food under the animal. i'm 200 euros in debt. normally i can pay that off with my harvest. but how can i do that now? i still have to look for a 2nd job. i don't, i don't see a way out of my situation. his race may be healthier since the fertilizer bad. but brianna, the roger poxy, can no longer live from farming in sri lanka is current economic crisis. i'll take a look at some of the other global business stories making the news fresh data shows that china is once again,
10:24 pm
germany's most important individual trading partner, the germans statistics office, putting the value of trade between the 2 nations. last year, at 245000000000 euros is the 6th year in a row that china has top the list shopping websites owned by china as we chat. and alibaba have been added to the u. s. notorious markets list. there are among 42 websites, suspected by us. authorities are trading in counterfeit goods. we chat on a 10 cent says that it's invested heavily in protecting intellectual property on all of its claps. i will 2020, to be the year of the exoskeleton. these mechanical suits allow. whereas to lift heavy objects more easily and without putting a puny little human bodies under too much strain. it's just one innovation that's changing the way workers interact with their workspace.
10:25 pm
oh, could this be the future world of work? an invention that merges people with machines. the artificial exoskeleton. it's a kind of suit that increases the workers strength. at the same time, it reduces the physical strain and health risks to the wearers. back. this computer controlled exoskeleton adapts to the individual where the technology enables the device to compensate for any on economic human lifting behavior and optimize is fluid walking movements. as an gunam, i'm saying, well, what essentially this is a little robot you wear on your back. like a rucksack to leave the physical load. a power and support are generated by these electric motors he went that's, that's the typical load compensation in one hour is between $1.00 and $1.00 and
10:26 pm
a half. tons come up. that gives you an idea of just how much physical effort these workers expend must be the meadow deadlines license. i wouldn't perhaps, exoskeletons could also be used to provide assistance to workers who deliver packages, as well as caregivers. although there is no prospect yet of humans being rendered completely obsolete, though that's not why we still need humans because these robots lack the intelligence. as we've seen in the logistic sector, especially during the pandemic. there are some things you cannot plan for about them. that means adapting at short notice which isn't possible with immobile and inflexible robot systems. and that's where human labor, even with an exoskeleton head is a far more efficient option. oh, a start up in california, teleports it's drivers into warehouses across the low. the transporters either operate autonomously with human assistance where needed or their remote control
10:27 pm
directly and exclusively by the human drivers are core hypothesis is that autonomy is deployable today as long as you have a human in the loop. you have one human, they can be said in thousands of miles away that is monitoring multiple autonomous forklifts at once. we're also providing warehouse workers the privilege to, to work remotely. right? the same privilege that's bestowed. busy on, on office workers, the technology could also be used to drive trucks and taxis, thousands of kilometers away. the robots are on the march. so it's a little scary, isn't it? just leslie, it may be many a child's dream to live in this lena disneyland, but soon we might be able to do something almost as good to have a look at this. disney has announced it's planning to build new residential
