future for its car industry, a correspondence visit chennai to get more. i'm daniel winter and it's that time again, dw business, 71000000 more people are facing poverty. that's according to a new you and report out on thursday the cause rushes war in ukraine, pushing up the prices of everyday essentials, from grains to oil. families forced to find alternatives, but even that's not always possible amid a cost of living crisis. in this plantation in been in use, yano donna is choosing a batch of cooking bananas at her meal. she will turn them into plain tain flower, but luckily, produce alternative to wheat flour. her little shop as almost doubled its production since the beginning of the russian invasion of ukraine. i will add before the war in ukraine. i produce at least 80 kilos per month. i'm one. but

now i produce up to a $150.00 kilos per month. and when the market is on one yellow machine, the war quickly aggravated. the dire inequality is already caused by the coven. 19 pandemic, and climate change over the last couple of years. as a consequence, west africa and many other poor countries are now facing their worst food security crisis since the start of the ward food programs. 0 hunger initiative in 2015 to day more than 828000000 people are undernourished worldwide. it's 150000000 more than 2021. it's a die, a reminder of how the rise and inflation and the global disruption of supply chains can drive inequalities affecting 100 of 1000000 of poor people around the world. and george gray molina co wrote that report and he joins us now. thank you very much for joining us, judge and we had some of it in that report. but can you break down for us,

the direct lines that link the war in ukraine to increase poverty around the world? yes, what we've seen over the past few months has been an incredible spiral. rise prices for food, energy. fertilizer products are some of these were happening before the war in ukraine, but we saw spike in the month of march, the month of april. ah, plateauing in the month of may for most food staples. and what we do in this studies try to analyze the consequences of that price bio because this is happening very quickly. and we found that $71000000.00 people have fallen into poverty already around the world. ok, and in the report you use this $1.90. that's the, the line for absolute poverty, for low income countries that they can and $1.90 a day to be outside of that bracket. now that was set in 2015, isn't this figure now out of date,

considering the widening cost of living crisis. yes, absolutely. and in the study we use 3 poverty lines. we use that $1.90. we use a $3.20 a day and also a $5.50 a day. so we, we take a look at higher standards of living because as you've just mentioned, are the, the absolute, extreme poverty line. i is only applicable to, to a few dozen countries around the world. most countries are need a higher reference point, which is closer to 320 a day and in many, 550 a day. ok, so what should governments be doing in those low income countries and that the middle and higher income countries where poverty can still exist, even in hiring come countries. of course, what should they be doing right now to stop the spread of this cost of living crisis? in the study, we contrast the effects of 2 types of policies. so many governments around the world are extending energy subsidies, blanket energy subsidies to citizens in their countries. and we contrast that with

targeted cash transfers to people around the world. and we find that cash transfers are more effective in fair, more equitable, so that more than 50 percent of the impact of a cash transfer will affect the bottom 20 percent of that society. whereas our energy subsidies, unfortunately 40 percent go to the top 20 percent of the population. so they're quite regressive. and there is a political debate about this around the world about using gas transfers versus energy subsidy. so, so we, we land on the side of gas transfers and moving money directly to the pockets of people on the ground. okay, well, let's hope that, that works out as well because it has been tried and tested many times. and i believe it's been shown that cash transfers can provide a better way for people to choose their own future when it comes to to poverty. and thank you very much, george gray molina for talking to us on that report. thank you. now let's go to

some other global business stories making use. volkswagen has started construction of its 1st european factory for electric car batteries. the power co facility in the central german city of south skitter aims to produce batteries for half a 1000000 cars annually by 2025. factories are also planned in sweden, spain, at north america. and for the 1st time in 20 years, the u. s. dollar is nearly at parity with the euro. greenback has jumped to almost 12 percent this year against the single currency analysts credit, aggressive interest rate hikes, driven by the federal reserve. and now staying in the u. s. a. u. s. jury has convicted the co founder thoroughness, the blood testing start up that was exposed for faking test results. sunny bell winey joins, elizabeth holmes, who was convicted on fraud charges for her leadership of the company, which was once valued at $9000000000.00.

of course it now was nothing against quarters tracking the story for us from new york. hence tell us more about these charges under which sunny ball won. he was found guilty. well, daniel and basically there were 10 crowns of wire fraud and 2 kinds of conspiracy to commit wire fraud. and he was found guilty on all a 12 of those charges. pretty much what it's about with the thoroughness is that the company itself and actually said that they are going to revolutionize blood testing. but obviously that has not been the case. it was a huge scheme and they, a defrauded about a $1000000000.00 from an investor and also from some a patient center. so now we have for this twelf accounts, a sentence for above on it. so now that elizabeth holmes has had, and her sentence, sonny bell won, he as well. the 2 co founders, the 2 key people. does this now finally draw a line under the fair enough scandal?

well, daniel, i fear not. i mean, this seems to be a never ending story. i mean, basically the whole case started in 2018. now we are waiting actually for the clinton thing for elizabeth holmes. that's probably going to happen sometime in september. then we are waiting for the 10 thing off of bonnie that's probably going to happen sometime in november and then it is not unlikely that we might even see an appeal what it comes down to. there is a saying until it can the valley and also the start up the and fake it until you make it. and obviously if you look at fairness, both hold and bob on it took it definitely too far. so let's see. but i guess this is not the last word that we will hear from this. okay. yeah. so seems to be an important interrogation of start up culture as well that silicon valley culture there, yet it's quarter. thank you very much for bringing up the european union agreed

last week to end the sale of traditional combustion engine vehicles by 2035. now that's a timeline that's also shared by india, e. v. production is picking up there and so is interest. our reporters went to the indian city of chin. i to find out my chin. i is called india's detroit. i'm a good reason. it's where many of the countries engineers learned their trade. where most of india's autos are built to 25 year old sworn a lot ready works as a systems engineer for one of the country's biggest carmakers. it's great news for her family. this maintenance plan. my family. i'm very happy. like as i don't like just a rule only not, not only sons has to feed their bands. i know destiny also can some more doubt from the region is booming as an automotive industry location and it's future is

years ago. but it, the cars are affordable as well. there's a subsidy. the central government are offered a subsidy and has several plans and several state governments also offer their own subsidies. in fact, just yesterday there was an announcement at the g s t on leave here. my batteries has been reduced from 18 percent to 5 percent. so the policies keep getting tweaked to give more and more in peters to the east sector in india. time for us to pack up . we're done and job to date where the d w. business. thank you very much for watching. oh, to national legion in ukraine. 1000, some fun teams from enrolled risk and eyes fighting against pontoons. we a company come from south america and saundra from new when
