US inflation at a 40 year high

The cost of goods and services increased by 0.4% for the month of December

As US inflation in the US hits record highs, we get analysis from Chris Low at FHN Financial. There's a dispute in Spain over the cultivation of strawberries in Andalucia which are taking water from the Donana National Park, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. We find out more from Javier Martin Arroyo, who is a writer for the Spanish newspaper El Pais. Plus, as climate change progresses, the demand for energy hungry air conditioning increases, which in turn exacerbates the problem. The ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½'s Ed Butler reports on the potential for more energy efficient cooling systems. And Kai Rysdall from the Marketplace show in the US, speaks to nobel prize winning economist, Amartya Sen.
