to wait in the smith, i'm to tell you that i think that many people die because of the listening pe, deconstruct the media on altus era. ah. china's growth slows sharp play, spanking concerned about the world's 2nd largest economy. ah, i'm sammy's a dan. this is al jazeera alive from dell hall. so coming up, police in haiti say a notorious gang is behind the kidnapping of christian missionaries in their family . members of these 24 people are killed in floods. and mon slides in the indian state of carola and it's destroyed almost 2000 buildings,

but experts say there's still no sign of when la palmer's old painter will stop a rump thing. ah. china's economic growth tumbled more than expected in the 3rd quarter of this year . the world's 2nd largest economy grew by 4.9 percent in the 3 months ending in september compared to the same period of last year. got bought compared to the previous quarter of this year. it dropped from 7.9 percent. observers are blaming a slow down in construction power shortages and floods. katrina, you joins us now live from bay jane. so 1st of all, katrina is some of this self inflicted because of the regulations on borrowing. busy and some of the efficiency measures on power consumption.

i said a while, yes, i think in a way you can say the part of this performance number this low a result is because the china has inflicted these certain codes on part of its industry. so firstly, you can look at the cubs on the energy industry. china is really trying to reach quite strict climate change targets that have been very tied, codes on energy use across china. and as result, we've seen these power outages affect very major problems in here in china, and that's had a huge impact on the manufacturing industry and on productivity. so that's one area . another way that you can say this is self inflicted is looking at the real estate developing market. now for the past decade, this industry has grown in china and quite unbridled fashion, very fast. and china has few years identified it as an area of grave risk for the

chinese economies in the last year. we've seen china really clap down on that tyson regulations, that's impacted construction, which is traditionally been a major growth of, of economic growth here in china. and of course, we've had the issue of ever grant china is the biggest real estate developer. it's dominated headlines over the past few weeks. certainly this past quarter is currently struggling to contain and manage it's $300000000000.00 worth of liabilities. it's really trying not to default on those. and it really has scared a lot of other developers and field fields around that. not in a way that you can say that this is not self inflicted, is looking at the impact of corbin 19. china has recovered from that to an extent, but it continues to really more economic growth domestically. we still have some little few outbreaks domestically here. in the 20th, the government continues to respond to those outbreaks by severe lockdown which affects local economies. it affects domestic spending, domestic travel,

and at the same time we see internationally, china's borders remain closed. that also has an impact on economic court that is also impacting global supply chains. commodity prices are higher so for these reasons self inflicted or not we can see this is really have an impact on the g d p and katrina once the government saying about them all it do well, time government gave a press conference about this figure, just a few more minutes ago it ended, and it's saying, look, while these numbers are on the lower range, it is within a reasonable range of what the chinese government expected. it said that china is now aiming for higher quality growth, and it is on the path to achieving some of those targets. so it's trying to really contain any concerns that talked about how employment across china remains relatively stable. that we've seen an increase in the share of high tech

manufacturing rather than low tech products that things are traditionally fueled china's economy. also, a bigger share is attributed to green development and the green industry and slightly it said that consumption sales are also slightly out that consumers are starting to spend a little bit more, which is a good fun because that has been really a figure that has been struggling since the beginning of the pandemic, his sore charge, we have to take those figures and those comments with a grain of salt, of course. but the message from aging is that these are all part of growing pains that this is all part of the larger picture. and china is trying to contain panic by saying that generally, china's economy can handle this, and it's on the right tract, him term. all right, thanks so much. katrina you there? let's bring in now victor gal. he is vice president of the center for china and globalization. joining us now from beijing. good. have you with us. so how do you

see the numbers? are they an aberration or the beginning of a why the slow down? well, 1st of all, the 3rd quarter numbers which just came me are really on the lower side. however, i think china is confident that it's year number for 2021 in terms of the g, d, b, girls, or china as a whole could still reach about 8 percent. and that who made china one of the best, if not the best performing economies, are all the larger economies in the world. and i think if you look very closely on the negative side, yes, reasonably, there's being significant price increasing commodities, oil gas and also imported coal. and there is concern about engineer security, disruption of, and use apply to china in a short while, as well as in low, medium and longer term. this is a concern, and also in terms of the financial regulation channel has being tightening up

financial regulation significantly, especially financing for privately owned property companies. and i think this is as the previous, the appointment is the said, some of the self inflicted wounds in china in the recent months. and i think in terms of global logistics, you'll hear a lot of bad stories in the united states in europe, for example, about their inability to get their house in order. and the logistics have been slowing down quite significantly in part in california for example. and this also has a negative impact on the chinese exports while they do want to fulfill all these export orders on the receiving side, they have been bottlenecks experienced in quite a number of countries in the world, which also negatively contributed to the lack luster, economic performance in china, so rice,

a tough period in china by in the longer term i think everything will straighten out an 8 percent g. v growth for this year is achievable. okay. but if we take one of those reasons, at least the efficiency goals seem to be holding back china's manufacturing sector . why and how long will this go on for? i mean, can china, is it simply case of china not being able to produce enough efficient or green energy at this point? well, i would say the manufacturing sector in china is going through our profound the trends formation of the positive side. being many sectors in which china actually is also in very much in the leading leak in the world. high tech ai, 5 g, you name it or china is really making me your progress going forward. on the other hand, for the traditional manufacturing sectors is especially in terms of iron and steel,

cement, a concrete building materials of all kinds. for example, china deliberately chose to become more energy efficient and the chinese government as set forward the target for peaking of c o 2 emission 520-3002 emission there. when you friday i think one of those stick to those targets. what is the alternately mean for the global economy if of china and this call to slow down? but ultimately, as you said, hits 8 percent. well, i would say channels, economy, especially in the manufacturing sector, and especially in the exporting sector, is already very much impactful in the world. so if there is slowing down in china, it will definitely impact negatively on the rest of the world. however, i don't think such readjustments are for the long term they will be short lived. so the 3rd quarter is relatively more painful,

mainly because for many problems says do are very much caught by surprise by the sudden increasing enterprises and also the government's hostility against the coal . the government has more or less declared the coal as a public enemy in terms of achieving cleaner environment. for example, however, i think gradually, there will be leveling off of all these pressure points. and the government in china has become more accommodating to coal. for example, domestically produce to call in order just to meet the very tight situations in energy supply in china. so i personally believe the 4th quarter will be better for china and it will be less painful as the 3rd quarter. so it's a good sign for the rest of the world as far as china's concern. nora, thanks so much rick, to go. thank you. police and haiti say in a tory as gang is behind the abduction of foreign christian missionaries in their

family. they were taken as they left an orphanage near the capsule pull to prince the latest in a wave of kidnappings which have risen dramatically since the assassination of the president. in july, my canada reports heavy clouds loom over the christian age ministries headquarters in the u. s. state of ohio, the mission regroup has been operating in haiti for decades with a 9 month break 2 years ago, following a previous space of gang violence, the organisation released the following statement. we are seeking god's direction for resolution, and authorities are seeking ways to help. it continues. the group of 16 us citizens and one canadian citizen includes 5 men, 7 women, and 5 children in the haitian capital port print the news of yet another mess. kidnapping comes as no surprise. statistics indicate that more than 380 people have

or d. c information a squeal or not. you don't have any way to verify. identify who is telling the story their motivation. these are multi national corporations that are interested in profit, anticipate the consequences. the media was complicit in perpetuating this myth. i'm here to tell you that i think that many people die because of the lifting pace, deconstruct the media on altus era blue. the me welcome back here watching. i'll just see what time to recap our headlines now. china's economic growth is slowed down more than expected. economy grew by 4.9

percent in the 3rd quarter of this year. that's a 3 percentage point drop from this year. second quarter police in haiti say in the tory as gang is behind the abduction of foreign christine missionaries, and the families that were kidnapped as they left and often engineer the capital porter prince floods the lance lives of killed at least 24 people in india. southern careless state officials say thousands have been evacuated and least a 100 relief camps have been set up. the was flooding in 2018. canada stands. interior ministry says girls will soon return to secondary schools. since it's all of our takeover only primary age girls have been allowed to go to school. male students and teachers were allowed to go back in late september. but the future of female teachers is uncertain with no plans announced about their return. i'll just 0 stephanie decker interviewed the afghan interior ministry

spokesperson in cobble indicated that it was imminent, re that girls and secondary school and universities, and their teachers, female teachers would be returning very soon. this is something that we've been hearing from the talib on since they took power, that yes, they would return, but it's going to take time. and of course, i'm taking a toll on a lot of the girls. they want to go back to school. they want to continue their studies and it's also, you know, one of the demands of the international community for the taliban to protect and safeguard the rights of girls and women to go to school and to work the people, those time will be given by the ministry of education from my understanding and information in a very short time, elaine, newest is and schools will be reopened and all the girls and women will return to school and their teaching jobs are better. but the move many people remain terrified of the taliban. there is no trust, i tell him what is being done to address that. he tells us amnesty has been granted to everyone are monitoring their fighters and have opened

a complain telephone line of a 100 to the who are those people who are seeing the feeling who have already left or have a plan to leave. we are giving them assurances that you are the people of this country, sons of this country, that come and work for this country, and let's build this country and they slamming emeralds together within the protocol. but trust takes time to be rebuilt and only time will prove whether the taliban will deliver on their promises. one gentlemen, i was talking to work as a civil servant under the taliban government. now, because a lot of the old guard having to be off the ministries, because the taliban, their fighters, they simply don't have that kind of experience saying that he had been paid a salary in 6 months and he said that things have never been so desperate. so yes, on the one hand, many people remain, you know, very questionable and skeptical and scared of the taliban. but the other side of it is that people will tell you that it's the economy. that is something that is making them want to leave this country. a senior member of venezuela's opposition

has urged the president to resume negotiations despite the government, then void being extradited to the us. the talks was suspended when alex saab was handed over to washington by cape verde. it was arrested by last year over money laundering charges. the talks aimed at solving venezuela's, political and economic crisis which is driven the majority of its population into poverty. hundreds of salvatore and took to the streets of the capital on sunday in the new protest against the government. it would demonstrating against the range of issues including president ny book keller's decision to adopt bit coin as legal tender. the crypto currency can now be used along with the us dollars a form of payment. a demonstration has taken place in the lebanese capsule marking 2 years since mass protest. calling for the end of sectarian politics. it comes at

a time of high tensions after 70 for were killed during fighting in this city. bernard smith is more from beirut, powerless in the face of an entrenched, sectarian political elite. this was the modest turn out for lebanese civil society groups mocking 2 years since nationwide. protests demanding a new state. it's extremely frustrating because with all the protest movements, everything that the people have done. those murderers who remain in power refused to give in to the need to change. they are not resolved any of the problems. despite all the demands by the people in the streets over 2 years. back then, tens of thousands of people took to the streets in an unprecedented display of solidarity across religious and political demands. ah, but months of protests got them, nothing except a new government. with the same old faces, the economy has imploded, the currency, losing 90 percent of its value. even the horror of last year's pay report explosion

hasn't dislodged those in power. they've been trying to get the investigating judge tarok be tar removed, as he probes rampant corruption at the polt blizzard world hung little fish. obviously, the lebanese regime is responsible for the explosion due to its corruption. and has bala is at the head of this regime. they'll try to stop anyone who tries to target the system. they played a role in choosing the children, but they didn't think he'd be a fighter who take on this issue. he said with technology, noah, and this is abraham, or tate spokesman for the families of the victims of the pope blast, saying judge baton should step down. oh, except that it's never been the collective view of the families. many suspect tate was speaking under duress, in another effort to frustrate the investigation. denies this. i mean the theme of the water, it's obvious the blood to go parties don't want this investigation not include has below, and everyone who supports them. if this investigation is stopped and it won't just

have a psychological effect from the families, but on the whole nation. lebanon's constitution divides power between christian and muslim sects, and neither popular protest nor economic collapse, nor the port explosion has succeeded in changing how it governed elections scheduled for the end of march. unless hope amongst independent candidates and groups that they can harness popular frustration to challenge the status quo. but that depends on the building united front to draw people away from cic, terry and voting. and it relies on the parliament not finding a reason to postpone the votes. bernard smith, i'll just 0, they root has been 4 weeks since the volcano on the spanish island of la palmer began the rom thing. scientists say there's no indication of when it might stop. the law of the stream is now buried more than 7 square kilometers, destroying farmland, and almost 2000 buildings. more than 6000 people have been evacuated. alexander

they're having an increase in customers who are coming from neighboring islands exclusively to see this volcanic spectacle. now our scanner stands carpet industry is facing is biggest crisis since the taliban takeover. exports and domestic sales have plummeted due to fruit, the freezing of financial assets, and border closures. it's broad uncertainty among millions of people who depend on the sac, sir. hash matter. borrow reports from missouri, sheriff. it's quiet in this carpet market in missouri city. the place was once buzzing with tourists and people eager to buy traditional afghans carpets. but now, shop owners are struggling to find wires or catch. i'm here so on was on. if these news you're slowed down a big deal, there's no more activity here nor much selling and buying compared to the past
