right in the desert, maybe that's the reason hardly anybody wants to move there. and chris koval, welcome to the program. online retailer amazon has confirmed a coming round of math labels, making it the latest take join to flash jobs. a mid flowing global growth, the company announced the cuts for tuesday. it filed a notice to california regulators that it would scrap jobs and the company is expected to shed as many as $10000.00 positions in the coming days following similar measures by competing companies, mehta and twitter, amazon employers, 1500000 workers around the world. now these tech titans are pointing to overhead costs as a reason for the layoffs. and i will say a lot of this has to do with lessons learned from the last recession. a lot of these companies spend like 90 days, rockstars to last few years and post curve it growth hang over

a recession on the doorstep. you're started as he cos and needs to be cut out the businesses. i think a lot of our con, moon shop projects are non strategic areas. now you're starting to see cuts in those areas. i think these companies, managing teams are being proactive because we go back to the last recession or they may be, some were not quick enough to pull the trigger, and here they need their ultimate caught, you know, cut because that's really what street one, c, one country what should this wave of job cuts is particularly crashing into is india, twitter cut half of its workforce, their education technology firms bide you and unit your unit. cami academy laid off hundreds of workers and workers in india. also among those affected by the cuts of meta, ironically, many of them are using those very platforms,

including social media, to air, their grievances and protest against the unceremonious fire. let's get more of this from the w correspondent, charter car to k and delhi charo. how hard are these layoffs hitting the indian tech sector workers? they're hitting big recording to one report just this year. it says there have been about 15000 layoffs in the tech sector now that's a big number and that's very good. concerning. also, given the fact that unemployment in the countries believe to be at a 40 year high. now the thing is that it's mostly a tech companies that are involved in these layoffs. and the number of companies on this list keeps on growing. there was by jews, there was an academy that has been facebook, which has seen the global lay offs, and they've been a for abt, it's work as a need to have also been affected. and now, a big lee of a big round of layoff is about to and roll at amazon. and that might,

is also likely to effect until the amazon has not really announced location specific layoffs. but yes, it's a big problem and it's hitting a what goes in the id like to really hard. now speaking about these workers, other than airing their grievances and the time of distress is this pushback that we're seeing by work and showing any impact with chris. the impact has been pretty limited so far. we saw one very interesting example in a state that us in the state of get a law that is governed by a left left party. now these workers offer this at a company called by jews, or they contacted the government and the government spoke to the company and the layoffs were diverted. the company was about to shut down his office in gala that was also averted. but apart from this limited impact, we're yet to see any large scale impact by what these workers are trying to do. that's also because the workers are not affiliated to any big unions,

no trade unions in india, where they're been mostly limited to white color jobs, a blue collar jobs and white go look for people holding white collar jobs have been very reluctant to get into the trade union a sphere, it's only now the trade union activity is getting up. but the people who are taking of the course, we're taking the help of trade unions to fight against layoffs. number of those people are still is still very limited. chris, the world economy is in the midst of a downturn. we all know that. what are the chances these skilled workers are going to find new jobs in the sector? well, right now, things look very shaky, chris, because we're one after another. companies are increasingly resorting to layoffs, so things are looking pretty gloomy as far as these employees are concerned. of course, they are making all the efforts that they can. companies are also promising that they are helping these employees who are part of, quote unquote,

the company restructuring to get new jobs. but it's, it's, it's, it's concerning situation and it's a dynamic situation. as a global economy moves closer to words, the li are to was the recession that has already been confirmed by i m f as well as the european union. things are likely to get more difficult and uphill from here. chris did all years charo card again, deli charo. thank you. and that is some of the other global business stories making news. german industrial giant, siemens reported doubling its earnings in the 4th quarter and ending its fiscal year with a 4400000000 euros and profit strong growth and orders help the company raise its profit. i'll look for the current fiscal year shares, and the company jumped by more than 7 percent at the beginning of trading. disney is buying the unfinished cruise ship global dream from the solvent german ship buyer, n v afton. the entertainment giant us at the $6000.00 passenger ship would be renamed

the u. s. justice department says ticket master controls more than 80 percent of the market and acquisition of events, organized, or lot or events organize or live nation a few years ago only added to its dominance. something that the company is disputing. chris brown is an analyst at the american economic liberties project that watches market monopolies and we asked her what could be done to fix the situation? i think it gets larger in been murder should have never gone through. how did that happen? how the regulators approve it. so the number one theory in our opinion is unwinding merger. i mean my separate from to get masters. one of the best example of what the market can end up looking like in terms of fair or healthier competitions is if you look to the british premier league where they actually don't ever interact with the

live nation side of to get masters because the stadium don't post concert and within the british premier league master doesn't even hold 50 percent of the contract with, with a. so although it's not a particular situation, it gives an idea to what, what a more competitive marketplace might look like. and what we could look for in the future if there isn't chris brown of the american economic liberties project speaking there, africa's biggest city is moving egypt is replacing its capital cairo with a futuristic megacity in the middle of the deserts. a new capital for more than $6000000.00 people is being built, which is to include the world's biggest skyscraper, flagged haul and city park that aspired all of these grand ideas. hardly any one wants to move there. it appears suddenly, like

a spectre in the desert. a mass of cityscape, some 60 kilometers from the gates of cairo. the government has built it over 7 years and touted as a symbol of egyptian ambitions. 2000 schools, 600 clinics, as well as the new government center all for an intended 6 and a half 1000000 inhabitants. the idea, a new capital city to ease the burden on cairo, a metropolis bursting at the seams. the name is also work in progress right now. it's called new administrative capital builders say they're putting on the final touches that haven't thought to be fully. now we invite all the people of egypt to the new administrative capital. it is the nucleus of new egypt without crowded neighborhoods. a really nice place to live. we are felon, felon. i montague. i mean i get them. yeah. in fact, given the starting prices only a few are able to afford the apartments and villas here. and thats despite a lack of demand. some neighborhoods like this one have already been completed,

but only 5 people are said to have moved in so far. the lack of shops and infrastructure as quickly evidence. desert sand plates, the buildings, the plaster, already peeling in many places. shopping malls promised glitz and glamour. on the inside, however, they're all but deserted. a handful of shops are completed at this mall and only one of them is in operation. ashcroft wiped his photo studio, he opened it a year ago with high hopes, along with a lot of effort and resources that the m and no, i've been working on the store over time to make it look as nice as it does. now. i want to do everything perfectly so that one day my sons could take it over and cost me a lot of money in the regular game. so far, electricity has only been available by the hour, from a generator there next to no customers. why do you want shopkeepers to put together

for an end to the construction? give me a little my leg bag. this is in this small, all the business owners half put in the ground workshop, but haven't been able to finish what we need to come together now and tell the people in charge that things need to get going. they will not do it for me alone. the government was supposed to move to the new capital 2 years ago. now the plan is for that to happen in january. but urban planning experts are skeptical that millions of people will suddenly move. in the coming months. cities do not suddenly appear and then we inhabit them. that is this assumption that if we build this grant edifice or will injected with people and suddenly it would become a life. and it doesn't work. this president abdel fatah al, cc's prestige product is said to have cost 60000000000 euros. most of it borrowed money. the critics say may as well have been buried in the sand. and finally,
