spreads to other sectors of society. so our ratings coping with extreme inflation and all dried up argentine as far as getting used to drought. how can they adapt to changing climate with the state of your business on robots in berlin, welcome to the program. the white house is preparing for a possible move by beijing to ban and major us chips maker, chinese regulators say, conducting a security review of microns products. they say the move is to prevent hidden risks and safeguards, national security, but u. s. says there's no evidence against micron microns cooperating with the investigation which follows a wave of export restrictions from washington targeted at china's chip sector. meanwhile, the white house is asked south korean firms not to supply beijing with extra chips . if my com semiconductors are banned. well, let's go deeper into this with correspondence. so to song hahn is in taipei,

so just let's get to the bottom of why it appears the beijing is trying to ban microns chips. well, rob 1st basing was to retaliate against washington. they think that my corn is one of the driving forces behind the u. s. chip act, which helps the u. s. to crack down on china semiconductor industry. the chinese government doesn't view migrant as a friendly business partner. and the chinese market accounts for 11 percent of microns overall revenue, not a small number, so must have some impact for micro. secondly, china wants to use the power of the government to help the countries corporate development. micron is the target because it's products are not. you replaceable, so even if my current is punished, chinese manufacturers can find substitutes to reduce the impact and even the salary, the use of the massive chips by chinese companies. but for now, how easy would it be for china to make up for any shortfall that came about from

banning microns imports? well, they didn't is ready before they star the move. now that the global economy is uncertain and the demand for consumer electronics such as cell phones, laptops and monitors is declining, which in turn has led to an oversupply of memory chips. in this context. if my cross products cannot enter the chinese market directly, it will indeed cost supply chain problems in the short term. but chinese enterprises adaptable and it is believed that they will be able to switch to using china's own chips within 6 months. so in the long run, it will be beneficial to china, but in the meantime, china might be looking to source them from elsewhere. so it's south korea looking like it could find itself, course between trying not to get on the wrong side of this gigantic partner over gigantic neighbor indeed. and also trying not to lose the face of the united states . well, yeah, it is happening right now. the u. s has acts

a soul to encourage stems on electronics and as k hi likes to hold back from boosting sales to china. it bands my quote from selling under an ongoing investigation south korea's president unit is now in washington for a visit. so this is the key moment for south korea to set its foreign policy direction. some commentators believe that south korea has officially joy the new cold war between the us, china and russia, in order to protect itself from the possible nuclear attack of north korea. ok, so some han in taipei for us. thank you very much. we have done now oil workers strikes in iran are spreading. they've been going on for months with employees from several industries protesting against inadequate wages. the strikes come at a time of spiraling inflation with complaints over deteriorating living conditions and a widening gap between household income and expenses. for suggests the industrial

action is also spreading to other sectors beyond oil, oil workers have been offered. wage increases around 25 percent. that's well below the 79 percent that they're calling for more on this, let's speak to nearly fog. allow me from d to we as far as the service. thanks a lot for joining us. can explain to is exactly what the oil workers in iran want. yes, didn't did the nationwide the striker started with or bore occurs, but as the reports can continue to publish from inside a room in the wrong m a v. have a lot of reports that's a nationwide destroyed has been spread among the other workers and is not just only limited to are all he wore a cares and they have some specific demands from the government or one of them. and the most important,

i think it's on that and that's the government's as says that are in the new year, dead salaries b to b, a raise for 27 percent. but actually did workers asked for 80 per cent because and in government sources and declared about their inflation and inc lation rate right now in iran for the last year. it was a 60 to 70 percent. so day i asked for raises in deb salary and date of once more rights. i mean i'm a rice in the work place. i mean, right to strike and i right to have their own associations and their own organizations, which is now el, somehow can say government backed organizations and not a real workers, organizations and real world carriers association and places of

a calling. so many parts of the world, but as you just indicated in iran, it, it really is in a different story in terms of how high it is. so how are people that coping the inflation of that level? if i want to answer your question in one word it's, it's very hard, but does, does the reason that we see a lot of protest that we see lot of work here is a lot of retired o r m taking to the streets and as see there, demonstrations because the situation, the economical situation actually are right now, i can say it's very bad and inflation rate is so high and the normal salary of the workers of the teacher is bay below the poverty threshold. and that's why don't we can see and people are really, can do a lot. i actually to just try hard to bring food to their tables. and that's why we

see that every day we see the friend protests in different cities of iran, or for different groups and workers, teachers, students, and india. but the situation right now, and especially after after death, a nationwide protest of b. m had seen poor to pass mon says, is, i can say is getting worse and worse. difficult times for iranians were neither fog alarming from des fozzy service. thank you very much. now let's take a look at some of the other global business stories making the news. the u. k. competition regulator has blocked. microsoft's planned, $69000000000.00 take over video again, maker activision blizzard. the company behind games like call of duty would be mike soft, biggest ever acquisition. antitrust watchdog fears, microsoft would keep activision games off competing cloud gaming platforms. you as a condition, a giant carrier is making a big investment in green heating. it's buying the heat. pump division of germany

damaging drought as hit harvest in one of the world's biggest exporters of corn, argentina, and it's agricultural workers. now know that they need to adapt an old piece of corn. it's never been harvested. it's all dried up. it happens all the time, all across argentina. fidel equal chef us farm is located near the town of navarro . he keeps his cattle out on the range, only adding feet in winter, usually mays. but last september, he was unable to plant any as a soil was too dry. what little his sword, after some december rain has now died off, it's not worth harvesting. schaeffer decided to leave it all out. so at least some wild animals could get it. la guerria said to her and then any milo, i'll have to sell some animals. so they won't have to starve mom and right now i couldn't possibly feed them shipping or go, i usually have around $250.00 cattle soon. ill be more like 40 or 50. some people have been here for 6 decades, and they've never seen such

a drought nor god. we don't wanna on i figure that got a video. the 2nd quarter is usually when corn and sawyer brought in argentina, most important crops, ground up or processes oil. the other countries biggest goods for export, and that's why every drought is direct hit that argentina's economy as it has been in 2001 through 100920122018. i caught a day goddesses this year will be another case. really, amazon can see me in took what i mean. we were actually acting for the economy to grow by one and a half percent this year here. but the drought has had exports and the economy had been and now we're expecting a g d p. drop of 3 percent. that means the central bank will miss out on $15.00 to $20000000000.00. good minot, english was 21. got into that in turn means that inflation could rise from 95 percent last year to 112 percent and make it even harder for argentina to stay
