ah al jazeera, as a you ah, all the. ready news inflation in the u. s. is that a 40 year high as pandemic disruptions forced households and businesses to pay more for everything? ah, hello, i'm a very infant again. this is al jazeera live from doha, also coming up. many villages, like these in nigeria, north are forced to make difficult choices, cooperating with criminal gangs results in long prison tubs. but helping security

forces means death at the hands of the bandits. wherein nigeria is i'm far a state by criminal gangs, have been targeting villages. witnesses report seeing up to 200 bodies, holden, 20 people have been killed and indigenous communities devastated by floods in southeast and brazil. at australia as immigration minister, yet to make up his mind on whether no bank jock of it should stay with 2 hours left before the australian open jewel. ah, inflation in the united states is increased to levels not seen in 40 years with the price surge affecting almost everything purchased by consumers and businesses. the white house is blaming disruptions to the global supply chain, caused by the corona virus pandemic. but inflation is a growing political risk for the democrats, as republicans continue to blame stimulus measures for overheating the economy. my

camera reports for washington. price is full groceries rent another needed items continue to saw. the own, the small shops are particularly hard hit. as they see their customers beginning to treat what were every day purchases as luxuries you can see had the money flows you can seeing when people are not getting the extras when they're getting copy trip coffee instead of capital, you can see it. you can see how they pay if they're paying in coins, be increased in prices, is now being felt at every gas station. and in every grocery store. i just think for a little more careful, i notice it in almost every product. fruits vegetables, which we buy a lot of jelly products. i can't really see anywhere that the prices have gone down. but they've gone up bottlenecks in the

supply chains of distributors. the primary reason and these, and turn the direct result of stopping shortages as a pandemic continues to rage worldwide. at the state, though, the head of the federal reserve insists there's no need for panic. that this is a temporary situation. we will use our tools to support the economy and a strong labor market and to prevent higher inflation from becoming entrenched. it's a similar message coming from the white house, which points to a dropping unemployment rate as evidence that economic recovery is underway and is adamant that the supply chain issue will be resolved. we are well positioned to attack the challenges of prices and costs had on. and that's exactly what the president i and this administration are doing. but republicans continue to blame stimulus measures for overheating the economy. one thing is clear, it's impossible to predict the ongoing economic impact of the ami kron varian serge,

which the nation continues to face. i don't believe we've seen that peak yet here in the united states. the rise in price increases reflect a harsh reality that in the pandemic, it's not just people who get sick, but the economy as well might hannah out his era washington. wising inflation is worry across the world, prices in the world's richest economies are at a 25 year high. that's fueling concerns about a cost of living crisis and increasing pressure on central banks to raise interest rates. the situation is exceptionally bad in turkey, inflation, their climb to a near to decor decade high in december, on the back of a weakening lira. but china is bucking the trend inflation. they're slowing. some economists to predicting an interest rate cough could come soon. lauren's contra cough is a professor of economics, a boston university. he joins us now live from providence in rhode island. good to

have you with us professor. so our rising procedure all to do with a pandemic of supply chain issues, a mismatch between demand and supply. well, that's certainly a big part of it, but there's also fewer suppliers associated with a whole pandemic. you know, you got a big city in, in the like new york there many restaurants are close. so the, there's more monopolization, if you like, of industry at this point. if you are suppliers of a wants of commodities and services, and then you have this other aspect, which is that the entire fiscal trajectory in the u. s. and other developing countries developed countries, sorry, is really out of whack. the fiscal policies unsustainable new us. we are, we're facing, if you look at the debt that's on the books as well as the debt, that's off the books, we have really a path of, of spending on the government. they can't be sustained at all by the taxes we're

way short. so when prices rise up, what happens is that the debt that's outstanding is watered down a real terms, and that's like a tax increase on the public. they're holding the debt, where they're holding is what are down terms of its purchase power. and the government gets implicitly, it's also hook of paying back in real terms what it borrowed. so some aspect of this is the fiscal, you know, is the adjustment of the 2 and the natural, just lam, he cut taxes to 0. i take that, take that. so i thought experiment, what would happen? would people be, go out and spend and prices will go up. and a feedback effect here would be to water down when the government has to pay. so that would be enough fiscal adjustment to be like a hidden tax increase. ok, so our interest rate rises in the near term. now inevitable won't put that made

particularly full emerging and developing economies that have high you, i stole of debt. yeah. put them in a, in a bad position if they have to roll. busy over the dead and, you know, on the other hand, if, if, if price, you know, the prices are going up, or watering down what they owe to, till to lenders of a bar and dollars. now they have to pay back and fuel hotdogs, if you like, because prices have risen. so the inflation is kind of a of a mixed bag for them. and in terms of may be more expensive to borrow in the future depending, but they really gain does not loss on the fact that the inflation is worn down. what they really oh, is this as the white house and the, the fed a saying a temporary situation, all of the days of cheap money when a truly over now well, i think inflation can get kind of a wind of its own or mind of its own if,

if we've got millions of businesses or setting prices independent, what jerome power the floor, joe biden says they should do. and if everybody gets it in their head crisis by being said, 10 percent increase by other people, they're going to raise their prices by 10 percent. because because companies don't like to raise prices every 2 minutes, they want to do it periodically. and they want to get a bit of a head of the game. they don't want to find out a year from now. they didn't really should raise prices more substantially. so that's part of the dynamic here, that inflation can kind of take often its own and be very hard to stop, unless you really put the economy into a severe recession. which is what happened under volker, in the early eighty's. really good still to professor money vaccinate lawrence carter. cough that in providence rhode on it,

the world health organization says that over 15000000 people contracted coven 19 over the last week, which is higher than at any time during the entire pandemic. it's more than 50 percent higher than the previous 7 days of the world. health organization says the number of deaths is also rising. let's be clear. while ami con, caused less severe disease than delta, it remains a dangerous bite us, particularly for those who are unvaccinated, almost $50000.00 deaths. so weak is $50000.00 does, too many brooklyn's prime minister as facing growing cause for his resignation. after apologizing to the nation for attending a party at his official london residence during the height of the corona virus lockdown in 2020. at the time the government was enforcing strict measures confining millions of people to their homes. and as there was andrew simmons reports,

horace johnson has never been under such pressure from his own party, the opposition of the people who elected him. he set out to try to defend himself. the key question, did he attend a party for around 40 guess? in his back garden that appears to have breached cove. it restrictions 1st to try to address the british people. i want to apologize. i know the rage. they feel with me over the government. i lead. when they think that in donald street itself, the rules are not being properly followed by the people who make the rules. and when i went into that garden, just after 6 on the 20th of may, 2020, to thank groups of stoffel going back into my office 25 minutes later to continue working. i believed implicitly that this was a work event. with hindsight, i should have sent everyone back inside after months of deceit and deception.

the pathetic spectacle of a man whose run out of road his defense, his defense, that he didn't realize he was, it's a party. ha, it is so ridiculous that is actually offensive to the british ha, with the whole country was locked down. he was posting boozy party in downing street . is he now going to do the decent thing and resign? johnson didn't say yes or no. i want her. i want to repeat that. i thought it was a, a work event and apologizing again and telling opposition leader care stammer. he should wait for the results of an inquiry into revelations of several parties in downing street and whitehall. i regret very much that we did not do things differently or that evening. stammer repeatedly rounded on johnson,

the party's over prime minister. the only question is, will the purchase public kick him out with his party kick him out? or will he do the decent thing and resign in johnson's constituency in north west london, many who watched wouldn't accept his apology. i'm angry and i just think he's a man that doesn't tight responsibility for what he's done. typically both, i think it's an, it's to be expected. the army is planned to come back with, with, with something about whether or not it's true or noise. it's probably not 3. this crisis is being called part again by the media. johnson is trying to write it out much rest though with the outcome of the inquiry into downing street and white all parties, and what the police do about the latest revelation. with more rest though, on whether the conservative party decides johnson is now a liability and has to go. and through simmons al jazeera,

a shortage of arable land, increasing dependency on food imports. they've parker reports from southeast england. this used to be arable for this would've been winter wheat 18 years ago, and they're cancelling state. they've been re wilding the land before anyone really knew what it meant. the soil to unprofitable to grow produce is ideal for handing back to mother nature. and now a welcome cash subsidy, courtesy of british taxpayers. but continuing what they're doing, this is the most important thing for 40 years. i guess. i mean, it is a combination of years and years and years of thinking and, and discussing and hopefully influencing some of the decision making. but yeah, wow, it's amazing. it's the biggest shake up of britain's landscape in a generation says the government, a $1000000000.00 funding scheme designed firstly to incentivize sustainable farming . and secondly, to reverse the decline of nature by paying landowners to re wild their properties
