and he turns the artificial intelligence to conserve energy this winter and the more the merrier, but the lower your chances of winning how lottery is cast on of on the streets of cash strapped venezuela. this is the w business. i'm janelle tomor on welcome protests that the world's biggest i phone factory are escalating for days. workers have been leaving the plant in hannah's province, only to be met with violence by police in hazmat suits. at the center of the protests. china 0 cove at measures and the poor working conditions that accompany them. dwarf largest i from factory inject joe china. hundreds of angry employers march out of fox coast flagship i phone plan. workers, smushed surveillance cameras pushed forward barriers and marched out against a wall of police. many in houseman, sweets, several of the protesting workers live stream to protest on social media networks.

the footage showed a brutal police response to the internet. the latest round of protests at the industrial complex, which produces the majority of the words i forms began over a pay dispute among the newly recruited workers who had been promised generous bonuses. but workers said the contracts were changed so they could not get to bonuses. adding that they were quarantined without food. on thursday, fox con released the statement saying the bonus payments had been delayed due to a technical error. last month tries and co 19 cases, so to factory locked, dump. workers were sealed into their dormitories without medical care and without food. some of to $200000.00 workers, scaled frances and gates to break out and go home. frazier, how he joins us now. he's an analyst focused on the chinese economy. frasier, welcome back. you've studied china's economy for a long time. was this sort of extreme situation inevitable?

and well, i think it was because ultimately, coven zito is unsustainable. and this has basically been the biggest problem for the past. couple of your really for china, the as coverage of moves through the planet and china keeps itself isolated in its population. it would be what we called cov, naive. that at some point, you're going to have these major disruptions as ultimately china, from a cobit standpoint of rejoins the world voluntarily are involuntary. what do you think has to change fundamentally for conditions for these workers to improve? sure. ok, so specifically the folks for an issue. the problem is that you have these conflicting types of problems all coming together. you have a population who is still very concerned about it. you have an economy that is trying to keep going. and you've also got basically mismanagement off payments and workers' rights. so you have a whole host of influences coming together. you have to make the particular fox con

issue a real problem. this is partly because as well, the local officials aren't really sure what to do because they are contradictory problems as well. they have to provide growth. they have to keep on top of cove and they also have to keep the population safe and happy as well. and these are all basically coming together and you see the scenes of the scene over the past couple of weeks. okay, so this is about local officials also being overwhelmed with the demands on them. but i'm also wondering about apple's responsibility here. so apple claims that it audits working conditions and suppliers factories like fox con, how do you explain at these working conditions then ultimately the audits are, from our standpoint, if you look from the developed countries or the american perspective, the, the audits are pretty lightweight. there have been lots of complaints over the years of working conditions in china. and while apples are folks gone, conditions may be better than that. many,

you fundamentally have this problem. and of course, you remember, and the particular fox on issue at the moment, the bonuses are not be paid. the wages are not being paid. and your apple still takes very high margins on i. so apple, sally does share parts of this problem. but ultimately people are going to china because of long walk conditions. remember, this is a place which is notorious for, for workers rights are ultimately no effect of unions and china to even mediate between workers and management. and so i think apple does have a role to play here and i noticed that be considered to sleep quiet to buy this issue of late. now you say that, but there's been so much coverage about this. and just wondering whether this will have a long term impact, perhaps big firms like apple might switch suppliers to avoid being associated with accusations of abuse of working conditions. what do you think? i don't think though they switch suppliers. i think it's more days to switch menu.

you've already seen apple trying to move and use suppliers and other countries in india, chinese factories themselves are actually moving to other countries like india, vietnam, to basically take to, to take advantage of lower wage costs in china. but this is all just part of a maturation process in china as well, the longer the cheapest source of labor in the world. so you're going to see companies moving out of china, the coven situation, over the past years. and china, coupled with tougher geo politics, is meaning that you are seeing a sort of decoupling. it's not a complete isolated by an artist. a field is engagement, but you are an understanding that there are much greater china risks and then there are 10 years ago and companies are responding to that and change a china facia, how he there. thank you very much for your time today. thanks very much. now to some of the other global business stories making use. tesla is the latest car car

german sporting goods maker added us that it has launched an investigation into allegations of inappropriate behavior by hip hop artist kanye west, known as gay towards staff and prospective employees. i did us as terminated its partnership with a musician last month over his anti semitic and offensive social media posts. germany's economy grew by 0.4 percent in the 3rd quarter, slightly exceeding initial estimates that's according to official data. household spending has been the main factor for the increase as consumers went out more after pandemic restrictions were lifted and acute energy crisis in germany has driven efforts to conserve into high gear. scientists and engineers are now looking at artificial intelligence approaches to ensure more efficiency, especially in industry. here are a few examples. berlin's most important science complex is looking to save energy. to solve this equation, they're creating a digital twin of all the buildings and their data. rust via flips via

the his rooster is 2 years ago. we had no idea how much energy was consumed by which building. we didn't have any details besides the meter reading at the end of the year. but today we can see anomalies and consumption when there are spikes peaks. these are details that i can't see and my end of year billing my job was and, and obviously i gotten easier. one lesson they learned, individual heaters should now only be used as needed. or continued on mit of each employee was asked to set parameters for their own workplace or room. when should it be heated? when am i on vacation? do i come in at 6, but leave at 2 pm. so that can be defined individually. so we don't need the whole building to 20 degrees from 8 am to 6 pm. and while it's once is plot, data centers are particular power guzzlers. not only do they need

a lot of energy to operate, but they are also constantly cooled to do this, water is pumped up from the basement. it cools the servers, but also the overall building environment. when it gets to warm, it goes to the roof where it's cool down, then it goes back to the basement and the process starts all over again. thanks to new. * software, this process now uses 50 percent less electricity at the pump place. um would i fulfill the pump is controlled more individually before there was some intelligence that went into the temperature setting. but now the factors that play into it are much bigger. is it windy? will it rain even dot com? these factors are now playing a much, much greater role than with any system we used before. was team one for mines of there's a lot of energy wasted in industry. 2 researchers at darmstadt. technical university are testing new energy and heat methods. conventional machines are being converted . it's in here and i found that we draw waste heat here from the machine's exhaust

air. we can then use the waste heat to heat the cleaning tanks from the machine and keep them warm. this reduces the demand from the tanks as well. i've thrown off empathizing on damage than damn it oftentimes off philadelphia. this could save about 40 percent of the energy used in cleaning and drying. the combined efforts are costly, but due to high energy prices, they're expected to pay for themselves within a year. lotteries are big business in latin america, but in venezuela they've become even more popular in their open air form. the streets are buzzing with betting as desperate venezuelans hope for a helping hand with our finances. inflation has roared back to over 300 per cent, risking a fragile economic recovery. the atmosphere here is half st. cloudy, half desperation. hundreds of thousands of fled the country in the hope of a better life elsewhere. but those left behind pin their hopes on winning prizes in

st. raffles and games of chance. every one hope sell go home a winner the any my door shouts about blaring pop music and people filling their bingo cards full of pictures of animals will fruit. every man that it's away reinventing and helping each other, not only the organizer benefits, but the whole community more and more than his wayland are turning to gambling in their desperation to make ends meet amid the countries crippling economic crisis in the street bin goes prizes include food baskets, paint buckets, and even cars and motor bikes. players line up outside kiosks in poor neighborhoods to buy numbers in a raffle to the kiosk owner, ruffling this mode of like makes good economic sense. he learned deanthony may live if i saw it would have to be at a lower cost than what a motorbike currency cost was to raffo. you get more or less

a profit margin of more than 60 percent though more people lose than when overall, the slight chance of winning is like an addictive drug in a country where most have lost hope of improving their lives any other way. and a reminder of the top is a story we're following for you this hour. more than 20000 new hires have left apple supplier fox cons plan in china. after days of violent protests over working conditions and lack of pay at the factory. thanks for watching. have a good weekend with with
