maybe we explore how trans elders lead the flight to self determination residing at that time. thinking of the now coast was the same as thinking of trans government. hi, the people on al jazeera. ah, this is al jazeera ah, hello, lauren taylor. this is the news i live from london coming up. the us says it will release millions of barrels of oil reserves. joining forces with some of the world's biggest energy consumers to try to bring down soaring prices. europe's cobra emergency, the world health organization says 700000 more people could die by march. a bus carrying tourists home crushes and fans in western bulgaria. at least $45.00 people,

including a dozen children. and more than a 130 years after slavery was abolished for the battle for racial equality in brazil is far from over. ash with water reco, breaking 9 for allot allow, as the saudi arabian football game becomes from side to the asian champions league for a full time. ah, the u. s. is joined forces with some of the world's biggest energy consumers to release fair, strategic oil reserves. it's meant to combat soaring inflation and high petrol prices, which are forcing people to come back on essential supplies. but it also puts the us and its allies on a collision course with all producing nations, who so far, refused to increase their output substantially. in this is it will release 5000000 barrels. the u. k. one and a half 1000000 from private reserves. and japan and south korea will announce

details in the coming days. but it's the u. s. that's releasing the most 50000000 barrels. $32000000.00 will be exchanged and then restart. and the remaining $18000000.00 were already authorized to be sold as a drop in the ocean of the total us reserve, in the $605000000.00 barrels stored in salt cabins deep on louisiana and texas. so this will be one of the biggest releases. those due to libya is uprising. hurricane katrina and the 1st gulf war were only around 10 to 30000000 barrels. and here's the problem. the steady increase in wholesale oil prices, which may have cooled lately, but still fueled higher prices at the pumps. my, now i see that the largest ever release from the u. s. strategic petroleum reserve tell, provide a supply we need, as we recover from this pandemic. in addition, i brought together other nations who contribute to the solution, india, japan,

republican korean, the united kingdom have agreed to release additional oil from their reserves. and china may do more as well. this coordinated action will help us deal with the lack of supply, which in turn helps ease prices. the bottom line. today we're launching a major effort to moderate the price of oil and effort that will span the globe and his reach and ultimately reach your call. your corner gas station, god willing white house correspondent, kimberly how kit has law on the president announcement. it was also a speech that was geared towards those nay sayers that say the president is making a mistake by releasing the strategic petroleum reserves. what the criticism has been, is that this might resolve the issue in the short term and lead to some, in the immediate future, lower gas prices. but ultimately, because the issue of supply and demand globally has not been resolved, that this will drive the prices up. so what you heard there is the president not

only saying, look at this is a global problem, but the fact that he's also saying that this will work power in the end. one point to know in all of this is that with regard to the release of these reserves, the president isn't just releasing it all over night. in fact, there's going to be one portion down in the 1st 3 months and then another portion in the coming months. and this he believes is going to allow for this kind of staggered approach that will ensure as the supply catches up to the demand as a result of people turning the economy back on. due to the coven pandemic, that this will resolve those issues. and the prices will stabilize at a lower rate. that's what this bind administration is counting on. one other announcement in there of importance, and it really affects domestic consumers, though, is the point that the president was making that he believes oil and gas companies are exploiting the situation. and really he accused them essentially of price gouging of illegal behavior, and that they are now seeing lower rates and the oil supply,

not passing that on to the consumer. so the president announcing there that he will be investigating that. i'm do so i'm as a consultant on oil and energy for the world bank. he joins us live at by sky. thanks very much for being with us, so badness as he wants to help consumers with this move of a releasing some of the reserves. what you think, if it will be 1st, let me correct. what do you manage and i am not concerned about for the bank. second, the global market has already given it's on the lease or by then i states. and the, there is that such it is, is a failure. the price is the brand has gone up by $2.00 and a half dollars since the announcement about the lease. even if the united states, as it is 100 medium but along with its allies,

it will have an impact on the global oil prices. the reason is that their eyes and brass is not due to a shortage of supplies. and the market it is you do the strength of the global economy, which is a growing this year at 6.3 percent, which is the highest growth rate in 15 years. in addition to the client n. s a inventors. and of course, i think last stand on the call by the by then to increase production. so what about the fact that it's in a coordinated move with other countries that have any kind of effect in terms of sending a sort of a broader message or not. i just said that even the unites it is,

it is a 50000000 even if the other companies like china, india, south korea and you know them. i mean, i know that if you can get your point or to interrupt, i get your point about the announcement of the supply. what i meant was politically, does it tend to kind of message it, in which case, what kind of reaction do you expect from opec? well, it has been affected before by a quest for increase of action. ok. plus, which is the most influential player in the global market, believes that and as in production, beyond what it has to be. and i believe on biopic plus, we mean pushing the market. that was something they want to avoid. and their objective is to balance the global almighty between supply and demand,

and in sure that they can stand on the price a minimum a, which is the price, most of their members, with the exception of russia, we need to balance their budgets. how do you see this impacting the relationship between the u. s. and saudi arabia? it will have definitely some him back of course. but then you realize says the election of residents by then the relation with saudi arabia as being the relation between the united states and saudi arabia would be united states objecting against c, m, and many other issues in the, in the gulf area. so i think if you're going to be a nation, spell that a plus and it has to look after the internet.

so not only it's on internet, but the interest of the whole organization. and that, of course, with hulu relations with the united states. and of course, the relation between our open about space as well. what about the issue of a dependence on fossil fuels in biden said that's a short term measure this. the aim is still a to reduce and a longer term dependence on fossil fuels. is there a danger that they say this move, if even if it is a short term, it will confuse, confuse, people you, i know very well that there is an energy crisis in the european union and the asian pacific region, without any shadow about that. and in that, if you transition from hydro power was to renew robbins cannot see without or send the fuels, oil and gas and, and that's it,

which will be with us throughout the 21st century and may be part of beyond. thank you very much indeed. damn, do, selling me international all the comments visiting professor n g economy economics at the e s. c p. business school. we apologize for getting a touch wrong idea. thank you very much for joining us. thank you very much. the international monetary fund has reached a deal with pakistan to bring back a $6000000000.00 funding program, and people in the country are feeding the pinches. inflation rises and the economy worsens. the price of goods is now hit a 70 year high, and the local currency keeps weakening against the dollar. some have been job aid has more from his, i'm about all the vendors have increased, but the number of buyers is decreasing. used clothes and shoes are sold at this roadside market, which has been here for decades. but business is not, but it used to be put on and i have been selling youth shoes for

a long time. it is only this year when prices have showed up. so high that there are no customer of no purchasing power. i'm struggling to feed the children. the pakistani loopy is at its lowest against a dollar and commodity prices at their highest in 70 years. to keep the economy afloat. the government has borrowed from allies like saudi arabia, as well as loans from the international monetary fund, facing a double whammy of austerity and inflation. people are complaining about essentials being too expensive from food to fuel and utilities, including electricity. this yellow only did the lighting. i've had a lot of hope and prime minister around cons government, but they've been totally disappointed. even people like us who have never had to look for bargains and the street are struggling to for the basics. oh, no decal. parties in the opposition have called their supporters to the streets in protest against inflation and say they will march to the capital if the economy

continues to decline. ferguson's rate of inflation has risen in the last few years . the 9.7 percent in the last 3 years, the prices of basic food items i rocketed aquino of sugar now cost $0.90 instead of 35 liter of milk cost $0.70 instead of $55.00. and the basic staple a bag of flour is at $3.00 instead of 2. the government says the price of wheat in pakistan is half of what it costs in neighboring india and bangladesh. and it blames a global increase in oil prices for the surgeon, fuel and electricity charges. currently, our country is in the faith of high for inflation. there are many reasons behind. it was one of the most important reasons. and the most visible reason that one can identify is the incompetency of our government, is not the case says the prime minister, eminent hon, blames the previous governments for the current economic troubles with a brochure, your hum budget. i am happy to announce the biggest welfare program in pakistan's

history. yes, there is inflation in the country, but we should also look at what the government is doing to alleviate the situation . but near the prime ministers, house buyers and sellers in his arm about used items, market say their incomes are no much for pocket funds inflation. some of the job down to 0 is love about the world health organization is warning that could be another 700000 deaths from code 19 in europe by march cases have been rising as the weather gets colder, with a daily rate doubling since late september. in the netherlands, some patients have being taken over the border to germany, to ease pressure on hospitals. dutch government is introduced new restrictions, protest against them have turned violent with 21, arrested during a 4th day of unrest under simmons as more from rotterdam, where they've been bonded protest for days. we're seeing now really a lot of concern on the streets. you saw last friday on this street and the of the

riots and the police actually opened fire with live rounds for protest as were injured. that is now com. but don't forget that there is still concern about restrictions here because the level of restrictions is reasonably high. it has to be said, there is a work from home policy. there are restrictions where i d, 's have to be used for vaccines to get into public places, bars and restaurants around here. we close at 8 o'clock every night and there are other restrictions to now moves to make some of those restrictions into law making people really concerned. so yes, there is really a division in people. and the stunning fact is that 84 percent of people here are vaccinated. so that's a high number and a high infection rate, it doesn't really fit some claim, its behavior over the people here. but this is

a situation that's alarming to all concerned. the german government is considering new restrictions, one infections, they're hit, record highs. some officials are calling for public spaces to be restricted to vaccinated people, or those who recently recovered from coven 19. dominic caden has the latest from berlin part all the new rules that were brought in last week is that when the incidence, the hospitalization incidence reaches a certain level, then harder measures kick in. so obviously receiving patients from other hard hit countries is going to have an impact on that hospitalization rates. but it's worth making the points that here in this country, the numbers are in some people's minds. and when i say people, i mean politicians who are making decisions is catastrophic. so for example, the prime minister of the politically important satan, the south bavaria has been tweeting today that's in his stage right now. every 25

minutes, one person dies of corona will. that's extrapolated to a 24 hour rate is 50 and more every day, more than 50 bavarian, it's dying of corona point here is in terms of the actual numbers, 2 different milestones are in people's minds. the 1st one has already been exceeded more than 5000000 cases in this country, since the pandemic began. and the 2nd one, which is perhaps psychologically much more significant, is going to happen the next 2 days, potentially a 100000 people dead in this country. from corona right now, it's just below 99 and a half 1000, but with 300 people dying every day in this country from cove. it chanced to saw that in a couple of days time that mock will be reached. authorities not unique say people open fire during a demonstration against co. 19 protocols protests against strict vaccination requirements imposed by the french government. of course civil unrest in both must,

unique and good loop which are overseas territories. president ammonia in my home, i sent special forces to the caribbean island to help diffuse what he called a very expensive situation. troy for now as head of martinique employers association, contact enterprises. this is where you are ringing because the level of violence we have seen in waterloo, mainly just thought it would be last night in march. and well, it's been been very worrying because the new product, so no shooting of the poly mary's very serious situation. the police are marie being wrong alive. we know that there was a lot of munitions circulating and young brother, specially if they think to use them against the money much more
