"khalid salman" Discussed on Bloomberg Radio New York
"Listening. The composer Joseph Haydn famously said, I listened more than I studied. It sounds like a law school hypothetical. Here in Bloomberg, it's the same thing. Do you maintain that low rate regime? Can you see out two years? How do you build a strategy with that eventuality in mind? Experts, information, news. The push sets up a potential fight. What do we know about how it will go public? Bloomberg radio, the Bloomberg business app and Bloomberg radio dot com. Bloomberg, the world is listening. The World Bank is warning the food shortages and inflation they're hitting the world's and the planet's poorest people, COVID spending, and the energy crunch create a crisis for the developing world. The World Bank president David malpas spoke to us at cop 27 at the climate conference in Egypt. I really think we are facing a crisis in development. And that means the reversals on education. That means the higher interest rates, the inflation, the shortages of fertilizer, which are really daunting for the developing world. So those are all problems that take resources. When you look at, of course, what we've seen over the last 12 months, it's a word in Ukraine that's driving inflation. But it's also energy security. How has that changed? The talk on climate change and sustainability. It's added to the burden and made even more urgency. So it's the war in Ukraine, but also the giant amounts of government spending that were done on COVID. And so that is putting upward pressure on prices around the world. And that hits the poorest, the hardest. They feel inflation, the most they also very painfully are feeling the extreme poverty now and the food shortages. Well buying president David ballpark speaking with our very own francine LaCroix a cop 27. 12 years ago, the selection process for World Cup 2022 was underway. The president was set blatter and he was considered a supporter of the Qatar plan to host the World Cup. We're 11 days out from the event and the controversial former soccer official says the decision was a mistake. Is in Doha. Is this a mere culpa or what is the basis for his criticism? Potentially, but you have to remember that step bladder continues to be under a lot of pressure. He faces various ongoing court cases about corruption at FIFA. He left the organization in disgrace several years ago, so we really need to take all of his commentary here with a grain of salt. Specifically, the two things he pointed out were that the country is too small. He said football and the World Cup are too big for that. And it's true. Logistical issues are going to be a major challenge for this World Cup country of 3 million people, 1.2 million fans expected to come through here over the course of a month. However, really what he was doing was Tapping into this ongoing angst about these corruption allegations that may have colored both Qatar and Russia's bid back in 2018 to host the event. He referred to something he said in the past, which is that Nicholas Sarkozy he alleges pressured the UEFA president Michel platini into voting for Qatar. This corruption discussion is really something that I think is colored a lot of the coverage we've seen out of Europe, but particularly the UK. And the question mark for me as there's been so much critical press recently is that does it continue to color our discussions when the tournament begins after kick-off after we're excited about play that's on the pitch. Yeah, very, very much so. We've also had some controversial comments from a Qatari World Cup ambassador. What did he have to say? Yeah, former men's national team player Khalid Salman Al mohannadi making some comments to a German public broadcaster. He said that homosexuality is a quote damage in the mind. And he said he had a problem with children seeing gay people immediately and organizer for the World Cup. Apparently cut off this interview actor. He made some of these comments. This really underscores a bit of the controversy about LGBT rights in Qatar, homosexuality is officially illegal, but organizers have said, you know, come everyone of all sexual orientations, you'll be safe here, just don't show your affection for each other in public. And what I've reported on last week was an internal presentation that said the directed security officials to essentially look the other way, both at protests around LGBT rights and also public displays of affection. But this message is something that's very controversial here where many people allege that homosexuality is against Islamic values. We just aren't going to know how this is going to play out on the ground until after November 20th after these fans arrive and we start seeing people interacting on the ground. Well, Simone is certainly the most hot button topic and controversial topic that all broadcasters are going after, aren't they? Simone foxman at the Carter financial center in Doha.
