i don t really see anything more meaningful coming into the market. we have reached now the halfway point of 2023. how would you describe the health of the global economy? that s a really intriguing question. i think throughout this year, central banks and lawmakers and policy makers have been focused on containing inflation, bringing inflation under control, and a lot of these banks have failed to bring the inflation to the target level, which is still running quite high, so especially in the uk, the cost of living crisis is a huge issue, and inflation data last week has already shown that there is no easiness or ease off in the data for the time being. but, having said all those pessimistic things and pointed to those factors, i think i am a bit more optimistic going into h2 of this year because i think inflation is going to come closer to the central bank s target, whether we are talking about the federal reserve, whether we re talking the ecb, and, of course, inflation is

hearing from tata steel, which owns the steelworks in october, it is bad news for the thousands of people who work at that steel facility. we have just been told that tata steel plans to close both remaining blast furnaces at the steelworks and that could come at the cost of 3000 jobs. clearly something which will devastate the local community. stay with us on bbc news for more updates on that story. tata steel says they will close the remaining port talbot blast furnaces at the steelworks with potential loss of up to 3000 jobs. news coming to us from bbc sources, ratherthan jobs. news coming to us from bbc sources, rather than confirmed by tata steel themselves. the unfolding issues around attacks on cargo ships by houthi rebels from yemen, warning from the world trade organization that it could affect developing countries the hardest. today the us has launched a fourth round of air strikes against the rebels, the us military said it targeted missiles that could be intended
because the boss of us chip giant intel has warned of a turbulent world this year. pat gelsinger has been speaking to our economics editor faisal islam at the world economic forum in davos. he said the current disruption to red sea shipping is another reason they were right to invest billions building factories in the us and europe rather than relying on asia. it s going to be a turbulent world, right? and obviously ukraine is still active, the israel situation, maybe broader implications in the middle east, obviously us china tensions. you know, it s a turbulent world in that regard. i think most view the economy probably a little bit slower to start with, some acceleration as we go through the year. and our strategy is very much around building resilient supply chains so that we re better prepared to handle some of the turbulence that we think is at least currently consistently seen year after year. just when we think things are calming down, it s not entirely calm ye
