attract. staff been a market starved of talent and on your feet by paul gets out of band people from you driving back cause and the city for a day this week we'll see how it went. this is database business was invalid. welcome to the program. brushes war in ukraine has sent energy prices through the roof. as you'll know, the oil companies are the big witness, posting record profits for 2020 to this week, exxon mobil revealed it made 56000000000 dollars last year. it's highest annual figure for a long time. the u. k. shell made 40000000000 it's most profitable 12 months in history and chevrons. 35000000000 is also a company record as well. not only did they benefit from surging on a gas prices, but they've also been cutting back on investments as well. a study suggests big oh firms reinvested 6 percent of their profits in 2021. u. s. president joe biden has

been critical saying that they should be investing to help bring down fuel as it costs for americans. so let's cross over to the states and speak to a financial correspondent in new york yet in this quarter and ask him, how likely is that to happen? yes, all these companies going to invest to try and ease the burden on americans. well that's usually the storyline from a lot of the big oil executives that with higher prices there is definitely a bigger incentive to invest more pump more oil. and that keeps prices and check if that's really to happen. well, you just mentioned those figures that are not to a mind blowing and having that set. we have seen prices come down quite a bit to the past couple of weeks and months just this week. the price is actually fall 8 percent gasoline prices in the united states are far away from where there were past summer,

but that is probably also because the demand outlook is not that great. and not so much that companies are doing too much on the supply side. we spoke earlier this week when those massive profits from exxon came out and there was enough anger around them. but that angers any kronos would have more results. the week's gone on . so president biden looking any more likely to do anything. well, i'm quite certain that we will hear a lot out of washington, but we will also see the action. i'm a bit doubtful on that. i mean, there's all this talk whenever we see the thought she would ship profits that there should be a windfall take some impose, but that will be very difficult to, to get through divided congress. so that's one reason why nothing might happen. and then on the other side, it's not that long ago that actually the biden administration was asking the oil industry to pump and drill a more. inflation is still

a big topic in the united states. energy is part of the equation. actually there was a lot of speculation that the, by an administration actually gives the thumbs up for new production in an alaska. so it's did since it's 2 side talk to modality. and so on one side, clearly those profits are pretty mind blowing. but on the other side, the country does one more oil and gas. yes. and unions. so much of this is down to those extraordinary prices that we have the royal and gas joined. 2022 by 2033. it's actually compatible with $0.21. well, this price is also going to be the same sort of levels of earnings. the company this year rob it is for me at least hard to imagine to see such huge numbers. again, it's not impossible, but i believe it's rather unlikely. as i mentioned at the beginning, we've already seen prices come down a bit. if you look at guess it in price is just one example this summer,

on average here in the country. we had a gas price of more than $5.00. now that's more at around $3.20. so unless something really crazy happens with the price of oil again, i guess oil companies will not get such a huge profit, but i stick as think it still will be enough for the subcommittees to survive. so they will remain profitable by probably not as much as possible. okay, yeah. and go to new york for us. thank you very much. let's take a look at some of the other global business stories that are making the news. us job gains search unexpectedly last month is unemployment slips to its lowest level in more than 5 decades. there was largest economy added more than half a 1000000 jobs in january growth was widespread. lead by gaines in leisure and hospitality. professional and business services and health care. in germany, sales of new cars fell in january is demand for electric cars plunged subsidies for
