business on robots in berlin. welcome to the program. now ford is thought to be planning to slash its workforce in europe. unions representing the american carmakers employees in germany have told workers that over 3000 post last, the company says it needs to be more competitive as it ups its output, electric vehicles, some of force, product development work in your look set to be moved to the u. s, before it isn't the only big u. s. listed company laying off employee spot if i is also announced that it's letting go, 6 percent of its staff at about $600.00 jobs. at the end of last week, google parent company alphabet announced a massive 12000 jobs will be cut part of a trend, riffling through major u. s. firms as they righty. ongoing economic storm. let's get more on this from our financial correspondent in new york. yen is caught again

the let's begin by talking about fort what exactly is the thinking behind these job cuts and why specifically in europe? well, i mean, the global car industry, i would say in general, it's experiencing a huge shift firm. as you mentioned, towards electric vehicles. as far as i understand, you need less workers produce those new type of ford cars and then when it comes to your, oh, well, actually ford had already announced some layouts that we were talking about. a couple of thousands of jobs in the united states last year. so now, so to speak at this in europe sterns and then on top of it, also some of the vehicles that ford for youth in germany are smaller sedans. and those cars are not so much in favor anymore with fords management. they're more looking towards bigger as you vs, or as you mentioned, e v. so, so this is a part of the reasoning why we see those layoffs now in europe. and yen says spot

if i a swedish company with us and listed on the new york stock exchange, the latest tech phone to announce job cuts. it isn't the story of a post pandemic downsizing it evidently in durham, if you talk about the stock being traded here at the new york stock exchange at the past 12 months. the stock price is down by about them 50 percent, so they can see that there has been a some, a pressure for a spotify in the past couple of months. the management itself was saying that it might have been to ambitious in the pastor too much investing, actually, operating costs were about double the revenue of spot 5. so that obviously is not a great combination. therefore, we're seeing those job carts that part of the story is that may be all those digital companies that boom. so much, sir, during the pandemic, are not so much in favor any more as people are spent their money elsewhere. but

then also part of the story is that was all those rate increases from the federal reserve. for instance, money. it's become much more expensive for cooperation. so now they're starting to cut costs. okay, ends quarter in new york for us. thank you very much. now croatians are getting used to being in the or his own. at the start of the year, croatia became the 20th country to join the single currency. the government in zagreb had hoped that the switch to the euro is and would help combat historically high inflation. many correlations are convinced just on the opposite. this is the old farmer's market in zagreb. it's where residents of the creation capital get their proud use. but as sweet as the apples might be, the new euro denominated prices leave a bitter taste for many customers. i am wont be down the realistically, everything became more expensive. i was just at

a store now and the prices of everything had gone up in our nol bed. they would have, they would, they said they would, they had they said though, so i asked them was them? oh, milk eggs. i guess all of the braces her lead up really high with a start of the year of croatia became the 20th country to adopt the euro. it replaced the kuna at a ratio of 7 and a half to $1.00 price hikes were not supposed to happen. but analysts in the country have said that some shops have height prices by up to 50 percent. government inspectors said that they'd check $1000.00 stores and found unjustified price hikes at around a quarter of them issuing more than $240.00 fines. but some customers aren't panicking yet. mason that li. i think all i talk about price hikes is a bit overblown. of every single country they'd introduce the euro had problems like these. we need to start thinking in euro 1st, instead of converting from coolness. it more that the era for now price hikes are

the last thing, creations need given the countries double digit inflation rate, even before the new currency was introduced. as take a look as many other global business stories, making news, brazil, and argentina and talks to introduce a common currency. brazil is present lula. the service just calling it the so which means it south. the aim of south america to largest economies is to boost regional trade and to reduce reliance on the us dollar. defense finance ministers warned that the country's financial situation is becoming increasingly precarious. japan's public debt is and double its annual economic out by far the heaviest burden in the industrialized world. it's becoming a problem as inflation is high yields rising and interest rates are expected to follow. and germany will join a new hydrogen pipeline project linking portico, spain, and france announcement was made during german chancellor, the german chancellor. the trip of shots has been in paris. the 2500000000 euro

project. good. h to med was the by 10 percent of the hydrogen demand. it's expected to be operational by 2030. here in europe, we should be hitting peak ski season, but many areas of only just received their 1st snowfall meteorologist. se global warming means it's something we're gonna have to get used to. so are europe's ski resorts ready to adapt? our reporter laws halter has been finding out. you can see the alps from here within a few years, only the highest peaks will have a virtual snow guarantee in winter, in lower regions. like here, norbish dolphin snow is exceedingly rare. and never has that been as little as this winter, green meadows everywhere. not exactly what tours, so looking for most cabins on the cable car are empty and those who booked a week of fun on the slopes hadn't changed their plans. emer, my phone number,

i'm here with made some snow limited to this one location and we were able to offer skiing lessons for lab for a bed ascii us. you can't get around that too, and it's just not enough. i was not super understood in the algo region. well, come some for 1000000 visitors every year, making tourism the main business here. winter accounts for a 3rd of it. naturally climate change has people worried, a strong showing between november and february is key to the survival of shops, restaurants, and hotels. some of them are already busy preparing for future seasons without snow . but his father can any dusty get usually our guests come here for skiing. is that this year that was impossible due to a lack of snow blind in some way. we're expecting more of interest to be like this . we can count on snow any more than a tree inside. that's why we are investing in other projects like this kits. playground, so that we can keep our guests entertained anyway,
