well, i mean you're, when some and you lose some and yes, the initial reaction and after our trading is positive. but let's wait and see how investors react when they're slept. what night over this earnings report, you're right. the revenue came in a bit shy on the other side to profit was better than i expected them. obviously, microsoft is still a multi 1000000000 dollar company, but there is slower grows when it comes to the cloud business as 0, i mean it still grew bigger in the quarters the head. and then if you look at the p c business, i mean there's definitely, it's of a slight, a quite some, a cooling overall. and as i mentioned day, it's intention to invest billions in open a i who own chat g p t, this spooky i chat. but that seems to know everything. what does that tell us about microsoft direction? the future? yes sir. i mean, what company, it's always one day one grows, right? and if you look at the biggest growth driver that used to be the cloud business in

the past couple of quarters, there still is growth, but growth is getting less. so you want to look for the next big thing. will it be artificial intelligence with this potential $10000000000.00 investment into open a i also there was still be addition of pending of activision blizzard, the computer video company, or gaming a company at 69000000000 dollars. there is some regulatory challenge from europe here in the united states, but that's, i'll be at the also something that microsoft is looking at. indeed you go to new york. thank you very much for the update. now here in europe, we spent much of the past year in the grip of an energy crisis. households across the continent of an encouraged to save on electricity this winter. but in britain that's just been taken a step further. families are now being paid to cut that energy usage. alexa, kitchen lights off. it's 5 pm in this english home,

an ideal time to switch off as many lights and appliances as possible. i'm going to save some money on my end. it's about. so get credit back on my office though, but the main thing is to try and help the national grid. so we don't have to tune on any co poet via stations today. i think it's really important that as consumers, we don't jeff flicks, which is on we prepaid to turn them off as well. there's participation helps ensure that demand for electricity doesn't exceed supply. great. britain's energy companies worn that blackouts are possible, especially if russia cuts fuel supplies to europe, against the backdrop of rising prices for food and services. this would make things even more difficult for families like hers. that's why sarah and her children are happy to cooperate. you might not be using those things at the time, and sometimes you leave them on and you might not be using them. and you could save more money. after 5,

their faces remain lit by battery power devices. while mom lights a candle down stairs. well, let's discuss the situation in the u. k. further with kind noise felt he's had a forecasting of the center for economics on business research in london. thanks love joining us on the program chi and we see people being paid to use less energy in the u. k. it seems pretty extreme. how serious is the energy situation over the well, this is more of a precautionary measure, then really an emergency. so what national grid, the grid operator prison is trying to do is balance the supply and demand for energy. and it's just that at the moment we have a situation where there's very little wind energy. it's very cold. so people use a lot of energy and they just that it's a good idea to pay people a bit of money to use less energy. but in a, in a more, you know, urgent emergency situation, that would be coal power plants as well on standby. so it's not really

a risk of black out, it's more precautionary measure. it would seem very grateful to get this money turning off their cattle and their lights after 5 pm, but that's because there are various of the challenges facing brits at the moment, particularly financially on the years. certainly the financial situation for households in the u. k. is quite dire as everywhere and europe and the west and what we have very high inflation, even though it has to down for the past 2 months. but it's still about 10 percent. that inflation is really felt by people in the weekly shop. it's food, price inflation, energy prices, as we spoke about that are really impacting the disposable income that people have on top of that, you also have interest rates going out and into the u. k. we have 2000000 households that will roll over their mortgage contract. this year and they will find that that will have to that will have to pay much more,

much higher interest payments going forward. so there's really a squeeze on households at the moment. and as a business, as states published on tuesday, that showed a drop in business activity in the u. k. this month and actually compared with, arise, has been seen in the your a zone is the u. k. or is there a feeling in the u. k that is struggling a little bit more than its neighbors over in europe. yeah, i think for the past month it's always been a little bit neck on neck. we've seen a little bit of a recovery towards the end of last year. both india zone and, and the u. k. now, this morning, figure, as you said, i'm show that you can call it back in january. and especially the service sector under performing this does contracts. so it's been a little bit of a bit nick back in terms of economic news. we have consumer confidence picking up from the low bay. but it is a little bit too early to tell whether the u. k. will be able to turn the corner whether the u. k. would be able to escape recession. and i think our base case

scenario are kind of central forecast for the k quantum is that it's still will enter recession and the 1st half of 2023. okay. kind noise out from the center for economics and business research. thank you very much for joining us on the business . thank you. now the german government says they want to create more green jobs in africa. it's a key part of the country's new development strategy for the continent announced on tuesday. berlin is looking to african government and its own biggest businesses to help make that a reality. businesses like comic fox fog. a 2 ton tractor with a $27.00 horse power engine, but the motor is electrically power. a german car make a develop this detractor. prototype along with a university of kigali and the g a. c, german is development agency. we just replace

a diesel engine with an electric motor and put the battery on top of that. and there you see the swapping desk, you see the 2nd battery on, on the stairs. and when you come him here, you can move forth and back. found men with apps, you can release the battery in, so we're back for the full battery on the track road. so from can them resume working the batteries are charged using solar energy. that's because so lightly tricity isn't just clean. it can also be used of grid, and only half of rwanda is actually connected to the grid burnout munyosak fear. and his team from the university of rwanda are working on making their batteries more robust so that the e tractor can soon go to work on a dusty sunbaked fields. rhonda needs it for other quarter americanization to beat user friendly because of for reducing the

red felicia fatherly need to re maximize the productivity. agriculture from that is ronda has to increase its agricultural productivity to help feet. it's rapidly growing population. longer periods of drought linked to climate change are increasing the pressure to make farming more effective. and sustainable. and ploughing isn't the only job the tractor should be able to tackle. he and rwanda. productivity in farming areas can only be increased if other farming jobs can be automated as well. the developers are testing whether the tractor can be used to help irrigate crops. today we are testing the pump being operated on an electric tractor. so you can use it for cultivation using your or your plow that could be a disc plow. then you can also hook up an a planter to roll for a plant. i can pull, then you can use it for planting. and then other tasks,

then we can use the instruct eyes for spraying. that is your crop protection for pests and diseases all tasks that have been carried out manually up to now. many farmers can imagine that the each actress going to be ready any time soon. but they do realize what a difference it might make it. yeah, yeah. if there really is such a tractor and it's available to us, it will be seen as a liberator for farmers because we won't have to work. so a height. yes. so the, each tractor is going to be rolled out in 2024. the idea is that it will be purchased by an entire village rather than an individual farmer managed by a cooperative. the vehicle will make a lot of tasks easier. so don't forget to bleed. it's time for reminder, the top business story we're following for you. they solid microsoft missed wall street expectations and it's quarterly earnings report out on tuesday by the lack luster figures though the tech companies,
