the motions of the sea. go visit the latest of what his aim to be serious, the wave power plants important. i'm chris kolber. welcome to the program. and myers say his contributions are extraordinary. critics claim the world is worse off because of him. whichever opinion you support a lot speaks for rupert murdoch being the most powerful person in news across the english speaking world. thanks to his empire of aggressive tabloid newspapers, story, daily's, and big hitting tv networks. now at age 92, he's stepping down. the news reverberated throughout the industry and beyond. that mode is stepping down as a head of news called the media close is the truth. it's almost from scratch model seen here with his son's last name. james is one of the great media moguls of his time, from humble beginnings and his native as trailer. he build

a global media empire. at one stage, spun youth papers, tv, movies, and publishing. but mother has always been a controversial figure. he never shied away from using his muscle to influence politics. we help him, donald trump, the come president, is the right ring cable network fox news, based bills of bost global media around pi and not out the business pages will give him credit for that. but he is done and almost damage to the democratic world, and in particular to the united states, the entertainment uh eco system. the fox news, a bubble has created in the us, has left america angry or in more divided than it's being at any time since the civil war. not at 1st commerce business and is influenced by acquiring a range of newspapers. many of which is questionable methods. great stories. he

made a splash in the okay, by buying the best selling use of the well tab, like i paid for my light of sold off the phone, i can scandal the decline of print media as the administrator sway. the certainly exercised his influence at the heyday of newspapers, but whether or not that influence really persists to this day, i think it's been, i believe, diluted by the decline of newspapers. and now, so obviously particular among young people that are settled and successfully side by having power to so in loveland, seeing here on the right, it is now up to him to leave for useful into the future. earlier i asked ellis enders, head of research and enters analysis. what exactly sets, rupert murdoch's media brands apart. it is one of the kind in the sense that he is a, an old fashioned news proprietor in the sense that he believes that his

newspapers and his broadcasting channel in the u. s. should be opinionated and pursue an editorial line. and he is, if you like, partial to certain points of view and he is also as result exercised political influence in a way that very few media proprietor tours have done so you know, both in the u. s. a. and in the us. that was finally, critics of rupert murdoch say the world is worse off because a fan because of rupert murdoch because fox news can be seen as a destructive force in american democracy in public life. how do you see that? oh well i do understand very well how people might be critical of him in here in the u. k. for example, they have been very critical of phone hacking

a for example that you know is also a problem matic. and so i would say that his reputation is mixed, but at the same time, he has shown a really tremendous commitment to journalism. and so there's pluses and minuses, you know, for example, he's of great backer of investigative journalism at the times and the sunday times or the wall street journal. so i think you have to sort of balance of his uh, you know, reputation, you know, in terms of fox and fox news channel bearing in mind that as i say, he didn't really share the views of the presenter said fox in relation to the election, we see him, to be honest, you know, in our company we, we, we see him in a favorable life because he has been so committed to a, for example,

us supporting a journalism rather than trying to make these businesses really commercial by us. so we think, you know, on the whole, he's had a beneficial influence in terms of, you know, the availability of news and its depths and its purpose. as particularly at the newspapers. alexander's the media analyst. alice, thank you for your thoughts. you're welcome or another, some of the other little business stories making news. arizona economic is to be frank. less than expected this month. according to the survey by standard and poors . the purchasing managers index is down for a 2nd month in a row, as they are, is on economy continues to struggle with high energy prices and inflation mainly due to russia's war and ukraine. the problem is, is a ban on russian fuel exports announced earlier this week will be upheld as long as needed to ensure stability of domestic markets. countries facing fuel shortages as

global weekends and global oil prices are on the roof. yours doesn't, joe biden announced a new package of military age during a visit by your crimes president reloaded me as lensky to washington. but yet another package worth $24000000000.00 could be blocked by republicans in congress. sanctions talking thing. the russian economy have been the west, most immediate response to the ground as aggression. we looked at this issue and this weeks dw business special with nicholas mother and historian at cornell university who has written a book on sanctions as a tool of modern war. and major part of our conversation has been the question different how these sanctions against russia all working? well, sanctions are definitely a nuisance. for russia they would much rather not be under sanctions then be under sanctions. but that being said, i think that they are not as successful as we hope they would be. certainly

a lot of those figures are indisputable, particularly about car production. but we have to place that in the wider context of rushes continued ability to keep attacking ukraine a almost every week with major missile garages. one of the big helps for example, was that cutting off a russian access to semi conductor technology from the westwood impair. their ability to manufacture precision, guided weapons. russian missile production is now how higher than it was before the war. rushes producing about 7 times as much artillery ammunition as the you and the united states combined. so they have managed to adapt our economy and they have prioritize the war efforts. so it's certainly true that this is doing car industry for example, has suffered. but this is the sort of thing that you would see in an economy that is geared increasingly towards more civilian industries are being deprived of resources. and those resources are being funneled into military production. and you can find the entire conversation with nicholas mother and our latest. the dw

business special on the dw use youtube champ, waive energy is considered one of the most promising technologies with endless potential is for deuced, with the help of sending boys that move as the see does. some european countries have already built the wave power plants. they include brittany, the netherlands, france, spain, italy pool to go and montenegro moore, a plan to spain alone is expecting to have 4 of them within a few years. one of the firms behind the technology is sweden's core power ocean and recently built a commercial scale prototype of the coast of portugal. dw, you said lewis was there of this 35000000. 0 boy is harnessing energy from the bottles largest on top to power souls. the ocean, as the device moves up and down a generator inside,

transformed the mechanical energy into electricity. swedish, in a cool part of ocean says the machine has 2 advantages. compact to other devices on the development we are producing so much more energy. we're given the size of the equipment. so on these 9 rates are damaged boy, we are producing 300 kilowatts in historical wave devices. you have had thousands of tons of equipment to do the same power of technology. we have introduced here that is just letting big waste pause bias storms and not reacting to them is protecting us as storms recently connected to the portuguese grid. the prototype is the outcome of more than a decade of the final product, and i share it with different office finance. so equity and the other half to government and european subsidies. the next generation of the machine made of fiber and prison is already in the making. first, commercial projects are scheduled for 2027. the projects developers say its benefits could extend the young pool to go to other countries,

even if they don't have large coastlines. europe is getting increasingly interconnected, which is a very good thing. so in the end use also you can say if you, if you take wave energy along the entire p and coast, you can stabilize a big part of the, of the in energy system. the portuguese government needs to have 10 gigawatts of ocean energy, which also includes also wind energy commission in 2030. that's could satisfy a 4th of the country's attic tricity needs. but this economist says, getting waive energy to work. well, be easy both here and abroad for the seem to simulate. it's this a finance technology 2nd period. several ways to do these already has been tied over here for those since the 19 ninety's, the size of each one that will be tell you the to the whole semester that after about 2 years, there was no money to continue the study. also down to a higher maintenance call risk assessment this so, but the developers are confident that that technology can overcome these hardware.

they have already collected $16000000.00 yours in subsidies for the next stage of the project, which would cost a total of $66000000.00 yours. the biggest challenge for the world to get to a net 0 electricity system is to ensure that there's electricity available at all times every hour of the year. not only when the wind is blowing or the sun is shining, and wave energy is unique in the way that waves always come in. to deliver on that promise, the company's hoping to win the race against wave energy technologies developed as well. and that is our show. thanks for watching. have a great weekend. the
