and what about the u. s. a. one of the 32026 world cup hosts a country where the death penalty still exists. is it what mark calls, western arrogance, possibly even bordering on racism? is this about double standards or does it have more to do with the fact that guitar abuse has so many? right, so blatantly one of the main reasons for international concern about the world cup is how many people had to suffer and died to make it happen. katara is mainly a desert, but soon it will be a desert with a tightly modern welcome stadiums to its name. in addition to a dozen of other major projects, including a new airport roads, public transport, hotels and an entire new city that will host a well kept final. but it's how all this was built that race a lot of eyebrows internationally. british newspaper, the guardian claimed that 6500 migrant workers have died in katara. most of them employed on well cub related infrastructure project cpanel. so statistical it is like the model, rough instant holland. awesome chavez kept h

amazon, now employees around a 1000000 people in the u. s. it has faced repeated criticism of its treatment of workers. they tried to be a little ha style. yesterday they did threaten. they said that whoever walks out might as well, just leave their badges and, you know, we're not going to be pushed around. now, yes, it doesn't seem like this is just amazon. it seems to be really a big moment for the labor movement in the united states. why is that? yeah, definitely is, i mean, i live in this country for more than 20 years, and i have to say that in many areas working conditions have not really improved during that time spend. but now what we're experiencing in the united states is the shortage and the labor market. and that gives workers a much better bargaining tool. and then they probably had in a decade. so we just heard to him, yesterday the kellogg workers decided to end their strike that went on for 11 weeks . and as far as i've seen, of the workers got all their demands fulfilled them. we have people in hollywood threatening to go on

john region, the company set, its intent was to comply with the new u. s. law. the united states, the european union and other countries, have accused china of a brutal crack down on the muslim, weaker minority, and the use of force labor camps. and john, now for more on this, i'm joined by our correspondent ins corda in new york, now yen unto has apologized, they said, and i quote that it isn't their own intention or position to ban products from sion . john, but are those just empty words given that intel does have to abide by this law? well, i mean, it clearly is diplomatic tip toeing at this point. and i mean the us senate has just passed a bill in the last week. so we really have to see how the companies will deal with that in practice. so it's really a bit to, to, to tell if it's just empty words from him. tell how difficult is it for american businesses to cut this entire region from their supply chain? well, i mean, the radically, the bill says that when you can prove that no forest labor is use, you can still produce in the region. you can still work wi

the u. s. at least we went from being told to be in fear of a deadly 3rd variance a well, it's more contagious or contagious than delta, but not as deadly to the cdc here, recommending 10 day quarantines for breakthrough cases and our recommending 5 just yesterday we've had hundreds of celebrities, athletes, traitors who on wall street, they've gotten it. they're back on camera, they're back playing sports thousands across the world. have it right here in new york city. there's thousands lining up. they're just being safe. they're being cautious and trying to prevent the sped. but is oma cron less of a threat for the most part here in the united states. it is. now you do have companies like apple here in new york city that announced that it won't let any shoppers physically inside the store regardless of vaccination status. but then you have a study like today from south africa that said that the omicron infection appears to protect against the built the variant and could displace it. and that'

the u. s. markets are going to reopened, like the old times, fully open their doors. the global markets will follow suit, and there's others that expect over conditions next year. as the fed tapers off, it's easy monetary policy and as it continues to address rising inflation. so here's the broad answer. nobody really knows, but there's a lot to keep an eye on your fed tapering interest rate, hikes, coven covariance electric vehicles, inflation, energy, prices, unemployment, geo, politics, travel, tourism. and even here in new york city, we have a new mayor coming in and his policy alone can change how big businesses, small businesses and even wall street reacts. and he's also a big fan of crypto. so there's another topic to keep an eye on as well. plenty to look forward to our nostradamus, james sweeney in new york. have a happy new year. thank you very much. abby knew you now to some of the other global business stories making news. president ottawa has urged tucks to keep their savings in lira and said recent exchange, right, volatility was under control. the layer

and so now you have this in the u. s. and then now we're dealing with europe with companies like volkswagen continent, how siemens, all of them have recently come out with state. they've come out with statements saying that it's not about the supply chain. they're, they're trying to sort of keep out of the issue. so it's, it's, it's clearly going to be a major factor for european companies. so pressure from european companies and u. s. companies, it's china starting to look else where it's focused on trade. well, a lot of this, i think china still really wants the technology that european companies can offer, particularly on the, on the industry side. i'm on the u. s. side is much more of the tech side. you know, there's another, there's another debate we could have about how you're being companies. i haven't just are not at the races when it comes to tech. but, and yeah, i think, i think there they still need this tech. so and they also, but another thing we should keep in mind is that they have rules as well. that compa

when ask about this new law in the u. s. this is seen as one of the toughest laws on the books facing some large companies that are doing business there, including apple, including mini textile manufacturers. how tough can this be? will this be, how do you look at it? i think it's a tremendously daunting from the company's perspective. they are being asked, the owners of proof is on them to show that their supply chains in no way are benefiting or relying rather on forced labor and change on. and you have to keep in mind that they already, sometimes, you know, it's not always easy for them to get to the bottom of, of where their products are being sourced. they tend to focus on their top tier suppliers. they don't want to get in trouble because a 1st or 2nd tier supplier isn't doing something that the us government might see as, as objectionable. but in this case, we have multiple tiers of suppliers. you know, 23456 level suppliers. and if any of those are relying on forced labor in china and particularly in change on those

so that's how things are playing up, particularly of a shin jang, between the u. s. and china. but what about europe? and china, well, it's interesting, rob, i mean, a lot of things seem to be coming together right now. i mean, a lot of different factors that have been going on actually for years. i mean, we've known about a lot of these issues for a long time, and these companies have known about these issues for a long time. and when you think about how it works with the factory or with it, with a company like say, intel, you know, they've got 6, maybe 6 more. who knows how many levels of supply chain going on am. and clearly they have made preparations for the fact that this, this legislation is coming, coming in. and so now you have this in the us and then now we're dealing with europe with companies like volkswagen continent tal siemens. all of them have recently come out with state, they've come out with statements saying that it's not about the supply chain. they're, they're trying to sort of keep out of the issue. so it's, it's, it's clearly going to be a major factor f

and u. s. chip maker intel issued an apology last week after informing suppliers in china. that would not do business and chin john. the announcement has had caused an uproar across the country. and meanwhile, the upcoming winter olympics in beijing is putting further pressure on businesses. but from another angle. western human rights groups criticize u. s. companies sponsoring the events, including air b and b, coca cola and general electric i from wellness. i'm john by dexter roberts. he's a journalist and senior fellow with the atlanta council. he's author of the miss the myth of a chinese capitalism. dexter is good to have you on the show. let's start with since time this debut plan for us capital markets, like many companies wanting to go to the biggest capital market in the world, ending up in hong kong because the span should we expect to see more companies, more chinese companies. choosing this route, whether out of the, whether being forced from one side or the other. yeah, absolutely. we're going to see a lot more. we already saw your recall earlier in the month.

u and u. s. are at handling a possible pandemic exit. it's kind of like a boxing match because in one corner you've got the you christine, regard, emphasizing that the pandemic is what the, pressing the resume threatening growth. and that in order to ensure recovery and exit the e. c. b name needs to maintain both flexibility and as well as optionality, while making this a step by step process and that one massive full exit. well in the other corner you have in the red, white, and blue trunks. the federal reserve, jerome power, leading the charge being definitive, saying the u. s. will end all of its bond buying by march, accelerate. the time table for interest rate increases. inflation may be at a 31 year high, but the us is heading towards strong growth and full employment. and now who's with me? it's so different in terms of their approach total opposites. and the truth is what these different approaches are doing. they're setting the stage for a very choppy 2022 with the fed determine the end as the purchase of dispensed as possible
