leaving other leading currencies in the dust. we'll look at the impact around the world. does a historic drought ravages the american south west? we ask local pharmacy how they're coping in extremes, eat this is data we're business, i'm of was in berlin. welcome to the program. a plan to see europe through the winter. european commission has set out proposals and raining in surging energy prices across the you, among the ideas put forward by the commission as the site of joint gas supply contract. but not included in the cap is not included is a cap on gas prices. the idea has split member states with germany making its opposition clear it doesn't want to scare off is new suppliers. new leaders will discuss the proposals later this week or to explain more about what the european commission is proposing. here's our correspondent and brussels terry schultz. well, european commission, chief ursula vander lion is pleading with countries to cooperate more in bringing

down energy prices as we head into winter. now, what she made her priority in the package of proposals she unveiled to day was that countries make joint purchases of gas. she says when they're competing against each other, for gas contracts, it's just driving the price up for everyone. borderline says this will also be an advantage for suppliers if they get larger contracts. and she's talking about reliable suppliers in her words, and she, she means norway in the united states, primarily as the european union tries to further limits dependents on russian imports. now the other thing that she would like to see happen is putting a cap on what they call the dynamic price of gas. that would limit fluctuations on price in the market. and she very much hopes that of both of these proposals will be taken up by you leaders later this week and approved. but one of the measures that is missing from these proposals is the cap on the price of gas at some member states have been calling for. why has the commission has stopped short of yes for

the reason that you just mentioned, some member states are calling for it and some of them, namely, germany are against it. there is no agreement on capping the price of gas, and therefore the proposal wasn't worth mentioning today. it when are slow andre and unveiled her new package of proposals. again, as i mentioned, they're very much hoping that these proposals will be approved by leaders meeting later this week at an e u summit. and that then energy ministers can hash out details on those proposals that will get agreement. the price kept on gas is something that will need more negotiations. but i think that ursula underline is very much determined to see that happen. okay, more to come on this later in the week and terry schultz in brussels forest. thanks very much. moving on in recent months, the u. s. dollar has been going from strength to strength is risen. 18 percent against the basket of key current is since the start of the year, the federal reserves aggressive rates hikes intended to control inflation. having

a major effect beyond american shores, as long as they're a curse, there's a need for people who can fix them. but in this repair shop in nairobi, one of many in the neighborhood times are increasingly tough. the business is struggling. customers are unhappy. the cause, the strong us dollar and a relatively weak local currency, which is sending prices through the roof. sometimes you find that they say increase on more than 20 percent in their cost of a fair fund within a period of maybe $5.00 to $6.00 as 6 to 12 months. we ship was not expecting for us. like now we are in wholesale and retail of pots, and you find that most of the customers complain a lot just down the road paths dealer albert j. gay feels the same pain we are continuing to to lose. if i used to pick my children to holly disney cannot do those had what he does anymore. because i am at the of the equally sheely. it's

a phenomenon which is heating small businesses around the world across all sectors . in istanbul, chill out cali, sells infant clothing and diaper bags in his 2 shops. the letter was in the ali purchase material and paper manufacturing in us dollars, but we sell in turkish lira. that's the problem. it's why kelly has to raise prices for turkish customers who have to pay him in the degraded local currency. arising dollar is causing pain overseas in a number of ways. it makes other countries info. it's more expensive. it forces central banks to raise interest rates to defend v currencies and keep money from fleeing the borders. it squeezes companies, consumers and governments that borrowed in dollars because more local currency is needed for loan repayments and those high a borrowing costs. we can economic growth and drive up unemployment. let's discuss

how we got to this point with our financial correspondence in new york, teddy, australia, teddy, i just remind us why the dollar is so strong and has been for the past few months or as they say, the dollar always wins, no matter the state of the economy, but right now the dollar really does seem to be rainy supreme. well, 1st thing to say is that the dollar, of course, is the world reserve. currency 40 percent of transactions are denominated in the dollar. many commodities are priced in the dollar. excuse me. our price in the dollar and, and, but for us, for the recent surge, what we're seeing is that federal interest rate hikes are encouraging foreign investors to exchange for greenbacks. and we are also seeing that the crises around the world, such as the energy crisis in europe, such as the supply chain crises and the threat of recession is encouraging people

to invest in the dollar. because it is seen as a safe haven, a pillar of stability and security in a struggling world. are you just saying i report some of the drawbacks or other countries when the dollars is so strong, but presumably it also provides challenges for some u. s. companies. if well, if you're in america, taurus in japan or the u. k, you're having a great time right now. everything is cheap. that's not the case for all america businesses. if you're an importer, things are great, things are cheap. however, if you're an ex border or if you have international operations, you could be seeing some losses that because all these goods and services of course, are more expensive in foreign countries and we're seeing fall and demand. we have already seen some multi $1000000000.00 hits. in some cases, a lot of companies are suffering. i'm johnson and johnson. and if the dollar continues to serge, it's likely we're going to see more of this for american businesses. ok to the
