reminder of the top story we are following for you. nato allies meeting in brussels have agreed to supply more weapons and military training to ukraine. member states will step up production of ammunition and artillery shells. the nato secretary general admits more needs to be done with the offer me, but now seeing beardsley is here after the break with your business updates. so stay tuned for that. you here again, tomorrow i'm the call for me and the entire team in berlin. thanks for your company . ah ah, if we jenny is full of surprises. we've gone all out to give you some tips with. i'm in your northern

most count to please ah, 3 times long. but it's still very much alive that when you travel you'll go to the special with recognizes where exactly it was fun and i have learned a lot our culture history. all their d. w. travel extremely worth a visit. ah, american shoppers had a big january retail sales, jumping from the previous month, meeting to moore, head scratching over the world's largest economy. also on our show are some chinese phone models sending back a bit too much data. we're look at a new study on 3 models with dangerously we operating systems. i'm seeing there's

the invalid. welcome to our show. an unexpected bounce and retail spinning in january is adding to the puzzling picture that is the u. s. economy. sales jumping 3 percent from december as auto dealers, department stores and restaurants all recorded strong turnover. it's the largest month to month game for us retail since 2021. and is expected to add to pressure on the u. s. federal reserve to continue raising interest rates as it fights inflation over dns quarter in new york for more now years. correct me if i'm wrong, but i thought the point of all these interest rate hikes we've seen was to dampen demand. what's going on here? where else even, but the timing is sir king. right. i mean the problem is sir, was though the interest rate increases its had a lagging effect to take some time so that those higher interest rates work through the economy. i mean, we also see that was the labor markets. i mean,

the interest rate increases were supposed to cool down the labor market. but the last reading that we got was actually the best since may of 1960 in hopkins. so obviously that hasn't done the trick quite yet, but it's definitely interesting to see a december was such a disappointment when actually sales in the retail sector dropped by more than one percent. and now this 3 percent increase in pricing, it pretty much all categories and saw in increase. so a definitely very as strong a numbers of from a consumer's at that one little remark on to that. so those figures are not adjusted for inflation for inflation. so part of the story is also things got more expensive and therefore also that had an effect on higher retail sales. un speaking of demand, we talked about travel demand being so high. now we're seeing that air b and b has some surprisingly strong numbers working to us there. well, i'm in it,

sir. for the entire year of 2022. it was actually a record profit of a good $2000000000.00. said that to him air b and be a chief. no wonder that the stock, by the way, was up by about am 13 percent here on the wednesday a session. i mean what a, b and b did for incentives so that price is increased on average and the 4th quarter, the booking per day was at a $152.00. there was a price jump of 36 percent in comparison to the year a prior. so very strong booking, so with the air b and b and to what is also happening. and i guess it, but a lot of our view chris will a see that to a city travel is a back in a big way. and that is also helping companies like air b and b, but also tripadvisor, for example, came out with their earnings. so also they're a very strong a showing. so a bids in travel in general, definitely as a back and at b and b as one of the companies that profiting from that ryan's court it in new

york. thank you. or some chinese phones gathering too much personal information. researchers in edinburgh found several handsets doing just that. the report this month found a pre installed apps on phones. from 3 chinese companies asked for a large number of access permissions to phone features such as the camera. they were also sending larger than normal amounts of personal data to their makers. even if the sim card was removed is what their port set. it said, combined this information poses serious risks of user d, animal zation and extensive tracking, particularly since in china. every phone number is registered under a citizen id. moreover, the data collection behaviors do not change when the devices move outside china. a poll, patrice is a researcher and professor at the university of edinburgh. and he's one of the 3 authors of that study. earlier i asked him what information is being disclosed?

right? so there are broadly 4 or 5. so information that are being disclosed, we categorize these as the voice specific g, o location, specific user profile and social relationships. so some of the things makes sense for you. ok, thanks bikes. system all day. for instance, the i, me or the, or where we're shown. sometimes you need application that really depend on the information such as tps the already. so the smart. but if you kind of combine all of these information together and collect all at the same time, that kind of reveals too much about the maybe more than, than what's necessary about the use of the 20th, then you probably don't need a way that obligation to kind of share the information about s m s and my so called he study and the information is being sent and it's being sent to various said, but it's across china. we identified those being managed in beijing hun joe,

one bunch of other places. but in general, that are based all sorts of 3rd party package that sandy c formation. and that includes, for instance, china, china unique almost the k, which would find a bit strange because in the end, you might have a phone that doesn't really kind of, you know, have a subscription with china unique pull. how does this compared to, to other privacy leaks you've seen elsewhere, including in european for models? yes, actually, prior to the study, we looked at the andre asked the distributions that are available in europe. and we see the extent of formation leakage collection in the chinese flood where it is probably 3 to 4 times more extensive than what we've seen in europe. and so what, you know, what 3rd party packages are granted permissions, and some of these are dangerous,

but missions and button ties defined by google. so, you know, there are things to do with camera and so on. which order will require user consent . terms of dangerous permissions, we see approximately twice as many day us, but we should be in the, in the chinese forward as compared to the, the flood rate available in europe. so $3.00 to $4.00 times the kind of privacy making that we would see in your more dangerous permissions. a lot of us going to chinese telecom companies. what does your study mean for users of chinese phones? so i think it's important to make a distinction here. so the phones that the chinese phones that are commercializing, you'll have different settings. so here we looked, stick the at folders that are available on the chinese market. and that's important because the number of andre users in china is by far the largest in the world. and what's interesting that even need those use this endif, china, for instance, what business or study but sees these practices continue despite the fact that you

know they might be in euro, but g d, p r regulation is, is expected to be applied to the so on but he does, you know, individuals might, might be subject to some degree of surveillance outside mainland china. right. hall pass for us from the university of edinburgh talking about his study with 2 other authors into chinese, some chinese phone models. thank you very much. thank you. it was a k on a day for air travelers in germany after the country's biggest airline. lufthansa was forced to cancel or delay hundreds of flights. the carriers computer systems were shut down after construction workers at frankfurt airport, accidentally cut through a data cable with tons of shares dipped on the news. for recovering was the problem was lifted or poorer. a kang should suck. santa was in frankfort earlier and sent us this update. when this failure comes 2 days before flying stikes at 7 german air

force that expect it to lead to major disruption. again, including potentially add the munich security conference where war leaders, i'd expected to gather all the flights have now resumed the outage for many domestic and international passengers across germany in a difficult position. frankfurt is the country's biggest airport and a major international transit time for flight to the u. s. and asia. the outage also grabbed the attention of investors. they pushed and the fans or shares down 1.5 percent by mid morning before the stock rebounded. the airline said behind the eye to disruption was damaged to the glass fiber cable, as in frankfort. that happened during the day and construction work. even if it is an isolated incident. it's just the latest problem plaguing and industry, eager to return to its sleep endemic levels. acc, anxious like santa there and frankfort, shifting gears in norway, the discovery of rare earth minerals recently prompted

a great deal of excitement. now the country wants to move closer to extraction with mining do to start next year or not everyone approves a front end loader tips $25.00 tons of rock into this dump truck in our home in western norway. since 1948 olivine has been mind here, the mineral is rich and magnesium and important for the production of steel. among other things, norway now wants to mind the countries many other natural resources. for libya, it can valdez to when we don't have a big industry yet, but we have many deposits, only the largest deposits for metals and rare earths in europe. these are building blocks that are important for the green transition of industry, also via hilt, aven ya. of either get on the shifter. currently, china is dominating the market for rare earth. europe does not want to be reliant on china anymore, and has been ramping up its search for domestic resources. titanium here, dinner finally, but more that it's dangerous that china has

a quasi monopoly on the production of some raw materials. and it has used these to monopolize entire supply chains issues. but if norway wants to mind more raw materials at home, this will lead to conflicts with locals. for years, residents of no stall have been fighting a major mining project on fed, a fjord dog. all those that don group project that we oppose this project because they want to cut off the top of anger ben, mountain and plan to dump 250000000 tons of mining, sludge, chemicals, heavy metals and micro plastics. straight into one of the regions most fish, rich fjords cost. if you would have nordic mining has now received approval to start mining the raw materials on the fjord in 2024 or your whole fiddle. i hope that politicians and others understand that we both in norway and in the nordic countries, you must help provide important minerals for europe and the rest of the worlds. we

cannot wait for 3rd world countries new provide us with all the mineral supplies that we need. i'll sell from fed devises provalshie, you know, small to the minute. all new thing in europe wants to free itself from its dependency on the world market and increasingly mind its own raw materials. the green revolution is still seeing this classic conflict between the environment and industry or that's it for me and the dw business team for more about these and other stories checks out a line d, w dot com slash business. i've seen beardsley thinks, watching it every day is more difficult than the next. you rainy and very batteries actually, cuz it sanction from protests, increase the risk of poverty for people like ha,

how can this end? when the economic situation wesson's day by day 3000. next on d, w. this gadget for a measuring methane makes the invisible visible methods impact on climate change has long been underestimated. many emissions are avoidable, but how exactly can they be stopped and how can the economy benefit from these reductions made in germany in 60 minutes on d, w. ah, with justin is you're a good push to me to day bus. yes. bus you. this is the consequence was $4000.00

foot kind of fun. got a question about a stumble, any more conflict in ukraine? the european war and 10 voices rushes war in ukraine. one year since the invasion began, we take a little back and into the future in the new blue slowing, but in february on d, w. b, ah, ah, ah, welcome to global 3000 seductive sweetness. soft drinks are a big factor in mexico's obesity problem. while manufacturers reiki.
