guest: this is fairly unprecedented because the heads of state from all amazon countries, all nine amazonries are going to be here. and brazil basically leads the way, in terms of the politics of forest conservation, but also in terms of the levels of forest degradation. so, i think it is going to be a very heterogeneous meeting. it is going to be very hard to reach complete consensus. but it has been a remarkable gathering. previous to the meeting on the heads of states and the idea is that they are going to propose a so-called amazon parliament. how exactly that is going to be done is anybody's guess. i am here in los angeles, where huge amount of people are waiting for the heads of states and the main amazonian transaction, tropical force countries including the big talk from the congo basin and indonesia. adrian: what is your feeling on this? is president lula da silva going to have to water down his expectations on this? guest: it is the meeting of several countries with very different situations in terms of what they are actually doing in the amazon forest. there is a lot of oil exp

in the amazon region, i'm right at the to say at the mouth of the amazon river, just still on the other side of that river is the rain forest. this is the area one of the areas that oil companies want to exploit. and they argue, and this has this, this is true also in countries like ecuador and many others in the region who says that there's order to have development in their country. they need to find ways of extracting oil here, environmental. this will tell you that that's absurd, not only because it's because it contaminates rivers and soil, but also because they say where the humanity is living in it. and at a time when we should be weaning ourselves completely from oil, i just spoke a short while ago to the coordinator of climate observatory. and he said something that surprised me a lot. he said, the reason why there's so much resistance is that oil companies and countries i've have oil once it gets squeeze the last dollar, if you like, out of those resources before it becomes completely impossible to use boil anymore . the forward it is, becomes redundant with a substitute with

also the amazon countries cannot— that. also the amazon countries cannot fix — that.nnot fix this issue by themselves. for starters, they need international financing. the president of columbia spoke about debts _ president of columbia spoke about debts for— president of columbia spoke about debts for climate action and forest conservation already today because what we _ conservation already today because what we see in the depths of the amazon— what we see in the depths of the amazon is— what we see in the depths of the amazon is that profits are way higher— amazon is that profits are way higher than the state budgets to combat — higher than the state budgets to combat that. so he needs to be coherent— combat that. so he needs to be coherent to help the amazon countries _ coherent to help the amazon countries and it's important to bear in mind _ countries and it's important to bear in mind that — countries and it's important to bear in mind that coming from areas are in mind that coming from areas are in high— in mind that coming from areas are in high demand in othe

amazon was a place to go to, but it wasn't always dispatch. in fact, because it was once good at protecting it's for it's the country previously reduced deforestation in the amazon by 80 percent over the course of 8 years. this downward trend started in the early 2000, those under president really not to let us do the most just on is lula. and now both of mattel is out and louis back. the brazil has changed dramatically in the last decades. so will the country be able to combat deforestation again? here's the thing with resilience. politicians decide to do with fair part of the amazon concerns us all, even as both a model says, the amazon is ours, not yours. of course, the most affected are the millions of people living there and the hundreds of thousands of plant and animal species. but the amazon also plays a vital role and absorbing enormous amounts of seo to that keeps the gas from heating the bus here and making seems like be more and more common around the world is uh, the 1st 4 cli may change, but should they, florida is ginoma's zone,

>> right malcolm, amazon, how are you thinking about it here >> i'm more interested in what amazon is going to tell us about digital advertising. they slotted themselves as the third contend wecontender. more importantly in the near term, i'm interested to hear what their plan is for the a.i. unit since they made this decision to go open architecture, not the meta version, but truly where builders can come in and decide to develop on the lambda llm, build on chatgpt or anybody else and amazon's positioned itself to get paid one way or another regardless because anytime they interact with that klatchatbot, amazon w services is going to create a toll on the highway. i'm interested to hear where andy jassy sees opportunity to take market share, and also where the longer term picture is for a.i. as it relates to aws. >> and, steph, you would think, just in a really big picture way, the number of digital interactions amazon has with customers, the number of transactions, the preferences that the volume of data that the company sits on, you would think that if those -- that's the raw materi

the amazon is at this tipping point and we have to stop forest degradation all over the amazon.ewers a snapshot of what is currently being lost? firstly, this is from our science editor back in 2019. the problem is, more and more of it is being chopped down, it is hard to believe but an area the size of a football pitch is being cleared every single minute. what that means is that forest that could cover more than 2,000 pitches is just vanishing every day, and all the signs are that this rate of devastation will accelerate. well, indeed it has. even since 2019. you were talking about a tipping point, carlos. how much of the amazon is under threat? yes, so far the amazon is originally 6.5 million square kilometres and 2 million square kilometres square have been deforested and another million degraded. we are very close to the tipping point. if we exceed 25% of forest deforestation we are going to cross the tipping point, mostly in the southern portion of the amazon, but at least in the seven months of this year deforestation in the amazon in brazil has declined a lot. 43% injanu

haidi: for amazon it was twofold. better sales than expected, and certainly the forecast looks good, as well as lower spending. ed: exactly. you showed the after hours reaction. just before i came on the stock was up 8%. i think it is now up 10%. the commentary the last few minutes has been about how capital expenses will be lower this year than in 2022. cost discipline is definitely something the street has been looking to. at the same time, andy jassy has been really thinking about how he can get passing -- packages to the consumer more quickly. in the u.n.' -- when i have an amazon package arrived on my doorstep it likely came from a fulfillment center local to me in northern california where previously it might have come from the midwest and traveled further. they localized the chain. the real bright spot and the most important one for investors is aws, the cloud unit. topline growth 12%, better-than-expected. azure is their direct competitor and they reported slowing growth last week. that did not translate to aw

amazon is up 8%. let's stick with the apple side of the story first the stock is under pressure in the pre-market after the third straight quarter of falling sales. the longest stretch since 2016 the management is warning the pressure could continue in the current quarter and if it falls one more time, that would be the longest revenue losing streak going back to 2001 apple is down 2% in the pre-market arjun kharpal is in london with the latest on the story. arjun, how much is just about the iphone side of the business? we thought the growth side was services and that seems pretty good >> absolutely, dom the market wasn't expecting blockbuster earnings given the 50% run-up in the stock. they wanted apple to show stability. while eps and revenue were beats, but you mentioned the iphone number was in focus that is where the concern was. apple in the june quarter brought in $39.67 billion of revenue for apple. it was down 2% year on year. elsewhere, other hardware, mac and ipad, showing significant decli

amazon stock was up 10% at one stage.he story goes further because people are getting used to the idea that tech stocks can perform reasonably well when interest rates are high. for a long time it was a typical reaction function if yields go up, not good for tech stocks but the big companies that disappointed slightly still made loads of money. the other companies are getting decent results as well. the big companies are able to show they can make plenty of revenue even in an environment where rates are high. yields have been higher for a year already, so they have been getting used to it, they have shown they can overcome it. people need to rethink that maybe the headwinds from high yields are not as great as people were trying to say at the beginning of the year. that is probably why they have had such a strong performance and it has not finished yet. you can probably go further even if treasury yields go higher. lizzy: what is more important, today's payrolls are next week's treasury auctions? mark: payrolls are import

brazil has 61% of the amazon forest. had a reduction of 43% in the first seven months of 2022 under the bolsonaro government. we are seeing policies president lula implemented in the brazilian amazon, so we are optimistic brazil will reduce forest degradation in the amazon. brent: are you optimistic that efforts to save the rain forest will not become more politically polarizing than they already are? there are comparisons between brazil and the u.s. with the environmental movement being a polarizing one and a culture struggle. carlos: yes, of course. there is a cultural struggle. we have to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases by 50% by 2023. -- 2030. we are not moving in that direction globally speaking. but they want to get to zero deforestation before 2030. i think in this context and also when we have polls in brazil, more than 90% of brazilians want to preserve the amazon. politically, we will be able to succeed. we are hopeful we are going to achieve this goal of zero deforestation. brent: a lot of people are root

it was signed by most of the amazon and country. as you'll find it for long to find it through sign that so that you've already some consensus in the amazon and some action being taken. busy towards the far as protection brazil for one reduced deforestation the last semester by 42 percent. it has done so in the past. and it's important to remind that brazil in the past reduce deforestation by 83 percent without requiring a single family from developed nations. but let's talk about something that you feel very strongly about. i know, and that is the commitment to stop oil exploration and exploitation of the amazon. and in fact, you said that unless that happens and not just in the amazon but all over the world, we are doomed as a, as a race, as a species as a species. and as the planner, i'm under the impression that every country in the. busy wants to be the last seller of wild and south american countries. no different from say the u. k. the us no way. everybody is rushing to get the last drop of ios rector. and i feel that this ti

you know what that's about >> actually, closer to 10% for amazon, yeah >> amazon, you got booking as, and actually, energy which has been just roaring back you have crude at breakout levels here. you are gasoline at eight-month highs as well. the heat wave, we've seen, in recent weeks has only helped to fuel those price increases, and then you've got opec plus meeting this morning and continuing with those production cuts >> yeah. no doubt i mean, i think b of a has a bunch of this rubric of what is it going to take to keep the market supported here, and one of them is, will the commodity rebound start to nudge expectations higher in a way >> crude is looking at six weeks up, about 18% move over that time and the b of a note does mention commodities off of the one-year low. iron, up 40% sugar, up 38%. gasoline, up 35% crude, up 22%. so, is that going to be the spoiler where we were wringing so much good energy out of disinflation, deflation in some places, in commodities >> you're definitely not in the danger zone in terms of where the absolute levels of those commodities are, or whe

amazon is lump yerp ier? apple sort of been steady eddy >> you said the -- perfect worlds there lumpy is not good for investor confidence steady is. and apple hit it right at the top. dan mentioned, i was going to say something about this, you read my mind, is that the key takeaway from apple's quarter isn't the results, it's the active install base grew they said that in the headline they know how important this is. that means that the business, the fly wheel is working and that means that the business has continued to be steady and that is opportunity for a multiple expansion i know that sounds hard to believe. but the second piece, and your panel has been orbiting this topic, but i'm going to put a finer point on it, melissa, the india opportunity. china, in 2010, was a $3 billion business in 2016, it was a $59 billion business it grew basically $55 billion over six years now, 19% of total sales. india, today, is about a $12 billion business it's 3% of revenue if it gets to the same size as china over the

amazon to show a good set of numbers here in your opinion >> yes, amazon is posting 7% growth which ishat they indicated in the earnings last qua quarter. we believe the growth is coming from the u.s. segment and retail and subscription services. aws is a small increase. what we have seen over the course of the year with spending slashed off and cautious spending we think aws growth is impacted for sure this quarter. >> still despite that a.i. boom and higher rates for aws, how does it catch up >> i think a.i. is yet to unfold because amazon has started rece recently the large super computers. these are mostly started this year and you have other venues coming in over the period of the quarters to deploy a.i. takes time and it is very expensive. the company would be seeing the growth from specific a.i. investment in the next quarters >> how much impact would that have when it is finally deployed into amazon? we have seen microsoft say it added 1% are we expecting the same here >> i think it is too soon to comment on how much amazon will add because they have not disclosed how many item

i'm known as the gateway to the amazon. our latin america editor, there's a newman is live for us there. so lucy, it, i guess the key question, does it look like these late? is it going to come up with a plan, a joint plan? they will all agree to, to en deforestation by 2030. while i can confirm that they're going to come up with a good, a list of good intentions, which could eventually lead into concrete action. but one thing that is very much missing, at least in the draft documents that i saw a short while ago, is the data of 2013. in fact, bolivia has openly said that the to pauses in any measure to any deforestation, to commit them to that country, to ending deforestation by 2030, which is something that brazilian president knew at that scene as i was hoping to get out of this summit there are some countries is saying it's just too much to ask them developing countries. they're discussing all kinds of ways to end deforestation. they just heard from the 5 members of civil society. the been living and curiously represent

to stop the amazon from reaching a "point of no return."he lengthy roadmap outlined in the city of belaine promotes sustainable development, an end to deforestation, and fighting the organised crime that fuels it. let's take a look at what's at stake: the amazon stretches nearly seven million square kilometres or nearly three million square miles. about two—thirds of that is in brazil. another seven countries, and one territory share the remaining third. under brazil's former president, jair bolsonaro, years of deforestation in the amazon worsened. the orange on this map shows the areas of deforestation between 2019 and 2022 in the state of para, where the summit is being held. but new data shows a positive shift. deforestation in the amazon fell by 66% last month compared to the year before. it's now at its lowest rate in six years. our correspondent katy watson is at the summit in the amazon and has more. we have had day one of the summit and already the countries participating have issued a statement saying they are forming an alliance t

up of the amazon. so perhaps people should be thinking of olivia's being emblematic of that. it has just as much bio diversity as brazil. unfortunately, unfortunately, bolivia is also one of the places worst affected by climate change. the amazon here continues to dwindle exponentially every year, which is why we're hearing so loudly from climate scientists, from conservationists, from environmental leaders from indigenous leaders on the need for urgent action to prevent moving forward. beyond that tipping point that they keep referring about. have a look at wildlife sanctuary in central bolivia. here biologists and veterinarians are caring for a wide range of animal species. everything from vibrantly colored birds, monkeys, and wild felines, like ocelot, jaguars and pumas. but every year conservation is say, the number of animal rescue, they carry out, keeps going up, fatal canada, you're going to have input in general, we've definitely seen an increase in all species. we're taking in more pirates and

of amazon.ss, it is up and down, profitable and the not profitable. aws is the thing that has been sustaining it and growing at a healthy clip for years but started slowing down as there was some uneasiness in the economy. folks that were buying aws services were pulling back on that investment. now especially with the artificial intelligence, amazon is trying to position itself as a key place to access tools for artificial intelligence and they see this as a boost to their cloud computing business, even though some folks get beat by microsoft. but it is still an opportunity for them and the cloud computing division is going to be something investors will be watching. for some time now. ed: spencer soper with the most fantastic shirt on television this friday. thank you. coming up here, on "bloomberg technology," so anymore earnings to recap. we will hear from the founder and ceo of cloud computing companyappian about their results. this is bloomberg. ♪ four we had to break, federal reserve bank
