but that was not the only new release from amazon as michelle fleury reports from new york. amazon announced 0, a new chatbot for people to use at work, there seems to be a dispute over where the name comes from. some say it is after the james bond movies and some say it is from star trek. either way this is a big deal. amazon may have not built chat gpt but it now has its own generative ai helper which is designed to assist employees with daily tasks, whether it is answering questions about company policy, to coding to summarising strategy documents. crucially, it will compete with other corporate chat bots including copilot by microsoft and duet ai by google. the tech giant also unveiled new ai chips at its annual developer conference in las vegas where taking the stage was the boss of nvidia, a sign of the deepening relationship between these two. amazon said that as well as its own ai chips, it would offer customers access to the latest chips from nvidia. why? amazon is trying to reassert its dominance of cloud computing and is hoping that this will give it an edge over its rival, microsoft. still in the united states where a chinese fast fashion shein giant has reportedly filed for an ipo. but a while ago tensions between washington and beijing made chinese share sales in america almost impossible. last year didi was forced off the new york stock exchange last year but that is now changing according to the blue shirt group which advises as nurses on how to list in the us and china. interestingly there has been a flood of chinese companies that are enlisting in the us and they have been relatively invisible because it is has been very small companies. i would say companies with 100 million and under market cap raising five, ten, $20 million, most people don't know that over a0 companies have listed this year in the united states. the big difference is that those micro caps, as we call them but the big companies have not been coming on board yet. we had one large ipo deal at the beginning of 2023 a lidar company but other than that most of them sit on the sidelines and wait for the right market conditions. and what benefits do these companies get from listing in the us? it's beneficial only for a certain type of company, a global player. any company and typically they fall in the category of tech companies that can also be consumer companies or, possibly, energy companies. if they sell a product around the world and wish to be perceived as a global company then a us listing can go a long way towards reinforcing that branding, if you will. so one of the earliest companies that went public in the united states was a solar panel company. several of them are still listed in the united states and they sell solar panels around the world. they need to be perceived as a global company. many of the tech companies are selling their product around the world or if you look at someone like shein, that is a consumer company. so it makes sense for them not to be perceived as a domestic chinese company. i would point out that the contrast against someone like alibaba who 15 years ago went public in the united states but is 100% a domestic company. the vice—chairman at the american conglomerate berkshire hathaway has died. he was 99 years old, he was an investing master. he had a net worth of $9.3 billion. warren buffett contributed much of his success to him. speaking of big numbers now, to india where the vehicle shall fails rose 19% during the festive season just ended and this is a critical time for the industry when the bulk of the buying takes place. talking a little more about that with my colleague joining me from mumbai. great to see you. what is driving this growth? solid festive spending. this is across the board growth that we have been seeing, led by things such as three wheelers which grew a1% and two wheeler sales up about 21% and that is reflective of the fact that rural demand which had been tepid and was lagging has started to come back and certainly that is good news for the sector. we also saw modest growth in passenger vehicle numbers, up about 10%, compared to the same period last year during the festive period. this is a segment of the industry that has been impacted by things such as high inventory levels for dealers essentially taking much longer to get the cars off the showrooms. certainly the industry seems to have been helped by deep discounts as well as new launches new that have come into the market. there is cautious optimism for growth because there is the election season and that is expected to boost the numbers overall for this year. india is expected to clock around 4 million units in sales which is a record and certainly comes in as good news on the back of what has been two very brutal years for automakers. 0nto climate news now because a bbc investigation has found that toxic pollutants released during gas flaring poses a lot more risk to people than previously feared. flaring is the burning of waste gas during oil drilling and the united arab emirates have banned the routine use of it 20 years ago. satellite images show that it is still continuing. i was told that there are now more questions about the effectiveness of the cop28 climate conference hosted by the uae which also happens to be a major oil and gas producer. it poses a real risk. there is a reason why the climate community were concerned when it became clear that, a, the uae would become host of cop28 and that b they would appoint an oil executive to lead the delegate negotiation process. the oil and gas industry has, far too often, not engaged in good faith with the response to climate change and indeed a bbc investigation a few days ago revealed linked documents showing that the cop28 team were planning to use their meetings around the world as an opportunity to strike oil and gas deals and it seems that the early concerns raised by the climate community have now proven well—founded. plenty of discussions will take place at the climate meeting about to begin, including ways to limit the amount of carbon dioxide we release into the air. but what about the c02 already in the atmosphere? there is a wave of technology being developed to tackle just that. trillions of tons of greenhouse gases have already been pumped into the atmosphere but what if we could put some of that carbon back where it came from? this otherworldly landscape is 30 kilometres from iceland's capital reykjavik. it is home to a project capturing c02 from the air and turning it into stone. called 0rchid, the plant is owned by a swiss firm and consists of eight container sized modules. this is the world's first direct air capture storage plant in existence, the only one operating on a commercial level. it is a plant that captures carbon dioxide directly from the atmosphere. fans draw air across a special filter that separates the c02. it is then heated to 100 degrees and sent to a processing wall before being piped across for storage. direct air capture is expensive technology. these machines need round—the—clock power to remove 4000 tons of c02 a year. that is similar to the emissions of 900 petrol cars so not an awful lot. this is the first of its kind but it is here to prove a point that this is commercially viable. our plan now is to scale up because we need to capture at gigaton levels by 2050 and in order to do so we need to start now. close by a new installation is being built. called mammoth it is almost ten times bigger. big tech firms are among the clients and individuals who sign up online. though the company insists this is no silver bullet. we are not here to replace the reduction of emissions. we need to be also active in cleaning up the mess that we have been making since the industrial revolution. dozens of new technologies are trying to do that. but so far these efforts are tiny. we both need to mitigate as much as we can and then we need these techniques but they are not at scale yet. there are many limitations, mostly about land use and scalability, price, resource use as well. carbon removal may seem like a moonshot but if it can be scaled up it could yet prove to be a crucial weapon in the fight against climate change. we will be on top of all the stories that will be coming up cop28 stories that will

dolphins! first, the first flight between the us and the uk by a passenger plane powered only by alternative fuels has taken place. this plane flew from london's heathrow to jfk airport. it was powered by so—called sustainable aviation fuels which can be made from crops, household waste and cooking oils. the flight has been supported by government funding. the hope is that it will show that greener flights are possible. other stories now. all 41 construction workers who were trapped in a tunnel in northern india after a landslide have been rescued. the men were mostly in their 20s and taken out one by one via a pipe which was inserted through the rubble. next, it's described as the most dangerous rock in the solar system. now fragments from this asteroid scooped up by the us space agency nasa have arrived in the uk for study. experts say the asteroid called bennu has a chance of hitting our planet in the next 300 years. and english goalkeeper mary earps has been voted bbc
