BBC World Service - World Business Report, 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 BBC'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.
