and your transfer from i x i'm saddam the club said, oh no return date has been said. and that's it from me on the news team for now do not go away. the w business is up next with more of the rising interest rates in the u. s, and the central bank as time inflation without causing a risk a recession. daniel windsor has the latest bills all about with ad. if you're looking for more news, you can always find the latest headlines up unless it's on a website and on social media garbo. this fence with with india, a land of contrast of ambitions of inequality. 75

years ago mahatma gandhi peacefully led the country to independence. what has remained of his vision? where does the world so called the largest democracy stand? where is india headed? this is the moment to unleash on violent bash. gandhi's legacy starts august 6th on b, w. all, ah ah, stepping up the battle against high prices, the u. s. federal reserve raising interest rates yet again. but will it be enough to stop the fastest inflation in decades? i'll speak to a next, but also coming up. what's europe's loss could be asia gain? india and russia team up to bush trade between the 2 nations, the aim,

replacing europe as russia's key trading partner and heat waves sweeps parts of china. some companies are looking to cash in the business. stay cool. at that time again, the w business welcome. it's the most aggressive monetary tightening since 1981, the u. s. federal reserve raising interest rates by 75 basis points. and it's the 4th rate hike this year. the u. s. central bank is battling to tamp down on raging inflation, which is running at its fastest for 40 years european markets reacting to the news today, leaping in the morning to the highest level in 7 weeks. that's after the chairman of the fed predicted future rates rises, would be less aggressive than previously thought is what he had to say. we do see that there are 2 sided risks. there would be the risk of doing too much and, and, you know, imposing more of a downturn on the economy than,

than was necessary. but the risk, the risk of doing too little and leaving the economy with this entrenched inflation, it only raises the cost. if you fail to deal with it. in the near term, it only raises the cost of dealing with it later. well, who better to break this down for us than your kramer chief economist comments bank? thank you very much for joining us yet. and 1st of all, your reaction to this right rocks were this rate hike by 75 basis points yesterday was expected, expected boss expected by the market. and it was also clear that the center bank would not the announcer explicitly a father $75.00 basis points increase. this is clear. and that the, the fed said this is data dependent. and i expect the next step to be 50 basis points. ok. and looking at the broader picture, the theory of some experts has been that we need a recession to break the fever of high demand to get out of inflation or that at

some point it's unavoidable. anyway, so let's get the top cleansing period out of the way. what do you say to that? well, i think it, we do not need necessarily a recession, but i think are you, you have to be ready to take the pain of a short term recession. in order to bring down the inflation as the chairman poets at a do it during the press conference, the lessons of the seventy's. if you, if you're always look at a g p and, or would like to avoid any recession at any price, despite a high inflation than your risk that, that all the time, the inflation problem, it gets bigger and bigger. and then in the end, you are forced to hike interest rate. we saw this, we saw this or at the, at the start of the eighty's when the fat was forced, after 15 years of high inflation, after 15 years of to lose a monetary policy. they were forced to high interest rates to nearly 20 percent and

to cause to is session in a row. and this was a big, big price to pay simply because the fed waited too long. therefore, i think the fed as why, but they're doing okay. some lessons from the past there, but you know who my thoughts and prayers weigh that this particular time of the central bank as of the e c. b. but also with businesses with significant exposure to dollar debt at this moment. so what should europeans be making this? well as far as the ship is concerned, the easy p her also has a deep inflation problem and the easy be always looks at italy, no highly, highly indebted, but the easy be should more follow what the fed does and to deliver more rate hikes . i think $150.00 basis points rated by the easy be bringing the deposit rate, a 0.0 percent is not enough. we need much more rate hikes. i think at the end the easy b has to, to come to a level of,

i would say 4 percent or so in order to bring down the inflation and this is amended of easy be ok. so the c, b has got some catching up to do with the fed as your kramer from comments. i thank you very much. thank you. all right, let's get some other business stories. void. inflation in germany has reached its peak, but food prices will continue rising. that's according to germany's eco institute. info said on thursday, the number of companies that plan to raise prices fell in july for the 3rd time in a row. and the pace of price hikes a slowed a strike, which caused chaos over german skies and paralyzed. lufthansa has ended, the german air line was forced to cancel over 1000 flights and re book around 134000 passengers due to the industrial action local union. vandy is seeking higher wages for $20000.00 lufthansa. employees. and facebook parent company matter has reported its 1st ever drop in revenue. it's quarterly profits also shrank for the

3rd quarter in a row, unless flame increased competition from tick tock and lower advertiser revenues for the drug as well. and if this is that germany has agreed to sell ukraine, 100 tanks and a deal worth one point. 7000000000 euros tanks will be produced by 2 german companies coast. my 5 bakeman and i'm retired, but the equipment won't be delivered before 2024, making it unlikely for them to be deployed during the ongoing war. russian ties with former allies in the west are in tatters over its invasion of ukraine. russia is naturally looking elsewhere to do business. that's where a new trade route with india comes in with both countries hoping to speed up bilateral trade. however unfair it might be, it seems that what's europe's loss could be asia gain. russia has been cut off from trade with the west. the sanctions imposed over its war against ukraine or

hitting rushes economy. bloody may, putin's government lacks revenue from exports like oil and timber. the russian leader wants to bypass the blockade with the help of new partner countries. the usual trade route from st. petersburg to mum buy in india. it's a shipping root of about 15000 kilometers that take some 40 days ships passed through the suez canal to mum by before reaching markets all across asia. rushes answer is the new north south route from st. petersburg, moscow, azerbaijan, iran. and to ma'am, by, it's a corridor of just over 7000 kilometers half as long as the usual route. companies could save an average of 20 days worth of transport. and the costs that go along with it. russia hopes this new route could replace some of its last trade with the west. as far as i know, the only dust dust started very recently with

a couple of try out some, but it would save time and be much florida. and it would also, and that's a very interesting for, for the countries in. ready slide like india or russia, it would also enable these countries to somehow get away or get out of scope. ready from western sanctions, most of the world's population lives in asia. the new route gives russia access to this market, but are transport companies already using it? the question is posed to an indian logistics entrepreneur 4 to 5, and then my said i'm having it you or something along the loop. and so the celebrities across division, i know you lost it. you the best. i'm named luis mosley for base it on india and some other asian countries have so far, captain neutral stance over the war. they say they don't want to take part in the

sanctions against russia. we can definitely say that the war and ukraine is a game changer and not only a game changer for european security, our military policy, but it, it is a game changer for the global economy for global trade. it more and more looks as if we're really moving into a kind of world with 2 major blocks. and with one of those blocks increasingly isolated from the other, many asian countries are happy to take advantage of the west's broken trade relationship with russia. and staying on this topic, let's get more on the view from india on its trade relationship with russia, a correspondent char kata kate has more in this from daddy. one of the indian government has not really been forthcoming in talking about the i s t c. media

report suggests that there's a fair amount of interest among analysts as far as this project is concerned. now it's a, it's a 22 year old project, but it did not receive the required push so far because it is believe largely because the volume of trade between india and russia so far was not too high. hobbling anywhere between $8.00 to $11000000000.00 annually, but now in the wake of the ukraine war, india import from russia have been growing significantly. and russia and the spot has also been looking for alternative routes that enable it to bypass western sanctions. and so both these reasons have given the occasion for both these countries to revive the dream project and then report that dr. run out already on char kata k that the concern over rising temperatures due to climate change as a global phenomenon hit waves sweeping through many parts of the world. in shanghai, government officials of issued an orange sheet wave alert to warn people of the
