Helping patients. Over in australia, over in australia, where its consumer watchdog has where its consumer watchdog has sued the country's largest sued the country's largest supermarket chains. Supermarket chains. The accc says coles the accc says coles and woolworths broke the law and woolworths broke the law by temporarily raising prices by temporarily raising prices of goods, before lowering them to either the same or higher than original prices. Coles says it will defend itself, and that it had sought to strike an appropriate balance between higher prices and offering value to customers. Meanwhile, woolworths said it was important its customers trust the value they see when shopping in stores. The chair of the accc took us through how it discovered these false discount claims. We first discovered it from actual customers contacting us, and we then looked on social media and they were returned at a higher price or no equal to the previous regular price. We also have evidence that in many cases, the supermarkets had planned the temporary spike in order to set up, in effect, the higher, new comparative price. We call the was price, which then compares to the now price, and in response to the response from woolworths about value, what we are concerned about here, and coles�* response about balance, but we understand, the supermarkets can set their own price. What is important, particularly at times of cost—of—living pressures, is that customers can rely upon it being genuine value and that a price discount claim is accurate. Tell us a bit more about the consumers here and some of the vulnerabilities they are facing in australia. We have had reasonable levels of inflation, but we have also had, with high interest rates, a situation where at least on recent surveys that the accc has done, 25% of consumers that have responded to our survey are facing pressures in terms of the grocery budgets. And they're looking to discounts or they are substituting, for example, frozen fruit, frozen vegetables in place of fresh, or in some cases, adults are skipping meals in a family. So we know there is both price pressure, budget pressure and, in some cases, food security pressure, and this is a very important context in which we take even more seriously the validity of price claims and discount claims.

A new report has called on businesses in india to increase their investments in the country. Global ratings agency s&p expects the indian economy to grow by 6. 8% in the current fiscal year. The bbc�*s archana shukla looks into the report. India will continue to grow ahead of its peers, that is a general consensus. The growth is being driven by government spending. Lacking private investments is a worry and even the finance ministry has highlighted this year and reading and s&p global says private needs to do more.

More of us are moving away from using cash, paying instead with cards or by using our phones. So will we need to carry a wallet or purse around with us anymore? the bbc�*s kevin peachey finds out. Deep in the leicestershire countryside, this barn isn't home to a trendy microbrewery but a business that's much more rare in the uk — a micro tannery. Out of these giant reclaimed drums come the beginnings of quality leather that's come from deer and goat skins that otherwise would have gone to waste. These big drums here are a bit like a large washing machine, basically. And inside these, we tumble the hides, and by the end of the process, we've got leather that we can turn into products, bags, wallets, that type of thing. Those wallets are carefully crafted in a nearby workshop, piece by piece, one by one. But is there much point in all this skill and intricacy to create a leather wallet when the majority of 20—somethings are using one of these, rather than cards and cash, to make their day—to—day payments? we do pay contactless on our phone, don't we? on your phone? yeah? so everything's in that, right? pretty much. And there are things that you need money for. Like, we'vejust been to the barbers. So. . . You do have cash for that. Yeah, i get paid cash. So it's all right. It's not too bad for us. We only take cash in here as well. Just use my phone. It's much easier. I don't have cash any more. And if i do, it'sjust in my bag. Yeah. And never comes out? no, yeah. It's going mouldy, probably! do you still carry one of these? what, a wallet? or do you ever carry one of these? a wallet, yeah. Of course. Always. Prefer a wallet to paying with your phone? probably, yeah, i'd say so. Over the years, we've seen demand for a classic wallet, so we designed one of those. And it always surprises me how many of those we sell. So for now at least, it seems many still want to carry the physical money to make our world go round. Kevin peachey, bbc news. And that's it for this edition of business today. Thanks for watching.
