i mean, so the u. s. economy has contracts it over 2 straight quarters. isn't that the textbook definition of a recession? yes, it is the textbook definition for technical recession, but it really, that's just a rule of thumb that economists use to determine if we are in recession and it usually does work. it usually is correct, but it's not perfect. and at the moment, we have a number of other indicators that the official arbiters of recession use to determine recession that are, that are still quite favorable. so the job market, for example, is still growing. we're still adding about $250000.00 jobs per month to this u. s. economy. it be very strange if we were in a, in a recession and still adding to job growth. so an economic downturn then is unfair to call it that but, but not a recession, but once the longer term economic outlook, looking like for the u. s. now clearly the con you slowing that there is no dispute about that. and whether or not we are in recession now currently or of approaching recession, i think it is clear that the odds of recessi

the u. s. economy contracts for a 2nd strike quarter raising recession phase, just months before key mid term elections. you as president joe biden and chinese, he to she jing pinhole talks on the phone is economic and geo political tensions mount until the rain triggers. flash floods, the united arab emirates, and cat gets rain in july for the 1st time on record. ah, hello, welcome to the very great exports ukrainian pulled through the black sea are expected to begin in the next 24 hours. 25000000 tons of waiting in ukrainian ports where they've been stuck since russia invaded. that's cause food shortages and price rises around the world. john henry is in the port city of a desa. he says ukrainian farmers are reluctant to send their grain. there is one of 3 ports where those grain shipments will be leaving from and they are where that grain is being stored right now. this is odessa, the 1st shipments are expected to go from turner mores. and then there would be shipping from pick danny, as wel

while speaking of the u. s. economy, latest figures indicate that the gross domestic product to g d p has shrunk. now for the 2nd quarter in a row, it's one of the signs of a recession, but job growth remain strong, which hasn't been the case in previous downturns. mike has worn out from washington . it's a crippling time for american consumers. the inflation rate hovering around for decade, high of 9 percent, the base interest at which money is lent increased $4.00 times this year already. and now the news that the g d, p i from for the 2nd quarter, another blow to national confidence, although president biden insist the economy will recover and there is no recession . both chairman power and many of the significant banking personnel and economists say we're not recessive, the bite and administration points to the fact that employment is rising at an unprecedented rate with over 2 and a half 1000000. new jobs created this year alone, as clear evidence that it's doing a good job and opinion echoed by the treasur

ok, well, what effect is this going to have on the u. s. economy or even the ripple effect outside of the global economy. what can you tell us? christy clearly has a huge effect on many levels. so if you look at some emerging markets, for example, countries to hold that in us dollar. i mean, for them, it's really painful if the dollar is going up here in the united states. i mean, the biggest economy on the planet does not so much depend on exports. so therefore, the country can probably resend the higher dollar. but if you look at some of the big multinational corporations here in the united states and they bring their profits back from abroad, so that's going to hurt margin and to profits on that level. and then what we've already seen here on tuesday, i mean all the commodity is oil goals. other commodities are all actually traded in a dollar. and therefore we already did see the prices of those. come out commodities coming down quite a bit on tuesday for example, a loan oil last about 8 percent in value, but that at least is coming at a

it's a blow for jo biden's efforts to turn the u. s. economy green. the supreme court has curbed the powers of the country's top environmental regulator. the court's ruling restricts the environmental protection agency's the authority to regulate greenhouse gas emissions from power plants. the decision also throws open the possibility of further limitations on the president's power to intervene elsewhere on environmental policy and puts into doubt biden's plans to push businesses to act in an environmentally responsible manner. white house says it's a devastating decision. it aims to take the country backwards. for more on this, i'm joined by louise osborne from d w. environment in the sierra. tyler is thanks a lot for joining us. can you just explain to us in a bit more detail exactly what happened here? ok, so this is a decision that is going to make biden's life even more difficult than it already is. it's basically limiting the government's ability to tackle climate change elements, the power of the environmental protection agency to curb carbon e

in the 1970 s, the saudis contributed to the u. s. economy tumbling into recession with oil embargoes. but in later decades, the saudis were seen as a dependable partner in providing oil and as an ally in an unfriendly region. then came september 11th. most of the hijackers of the plains that flew into the world trade center and the pentagon, were saudis many with high reaching connections. but washington played it down. this friendly attitude continued when mohammed been sal, mom took over. he cultivated ties with president trump's family, and trump refused to condemn him for the casualty. murder, even joe biden prefers to speak to m. b. s. his father, king salmon, who officially rules the country. but the king has been ill and has rarely been seen in public in recent years. all that oil and the enormous psalms, the kingdom has to invest world wide, keep saudi arabia relevant. and that means dealing directly with whoever's in charge. earlier i spoke to mona hefley from d w. arabic and asked her what caused the change in biden's appro
