other main crossings. a port huron that brings, we're talking about, it's close that the basset, or bridge in detroit. i am at the nearest crossing to that. it connects port huron with sarnia on the canadian side, and that bridge you see behind me is the blue water bridge. and on that bridge you can see that the trucks are moving, but at a snail's pace. and they've been waiting anywhere between an hour and a half to 3 hours over the course of the day to get across that bridge because it really wasn't made to handle that kind of traffic. and there could be more problems like this because earlier on thursday, protesters also closed the bridge connecting manitoba in canada with north dakota. so the there are now 3 crossings that have been effected. the one in manitoba and the ambassador bridge almost entirely closed this one open, but going at a snail's pace. so that affected the economy all on both sides. here

in the us, inflation has hit its highest level in 40 years. the consumer price index rose by 7.5 percent over the past year. energy costs saw the biggest jump up to 27 percent . plus the biden says, forecasts show inflation will ease by the end of the i'm going to work like i don't want to bring gas prices down, which i'm going to work into. make sure that we keep strengthening, supplied, changed, and bring the cost of energy. and everything else is good to come to america. down by helping them point 247 by changing a whole range of things that you know. what's happened with coven, coven has cost significant increase in prices in the supply chain. on the grover as professor economics, not the massachusetts institute of technology. he says the biden ministration didn't entirely responsible for the sharp rise and inflation. i think i day can

take some blame in particular, as i said friday stimulus was too big. although at the time many experts including myself thought it was right sized. so ah, i'm, and i think they could take a little bit of blame because i think they could have moved a little more aggressively to try to make cheap tasks available for individuals to get folks back to work. but i think overall, it's not about them. look, most of this is about the long run effects of coping which predated iden, which are terrible new s, because the decisions present trump made. ah, and really most of the effect is not, you know, on, on the edge. some decisions by may could been made better, but really, inflation be almost close to what it is now, even if he had done anything he did, i think it's in the near term. it's launching hands the federal reserve. but i think really, by the end of the year, it's more in the hands of how the supply chain bottlenecks was off. and part of that is going to be, can we get all of america to behave responsibly and get vaccinated? mask up so that we can finally crush this virus and get, get everyone back to work,

get teachers back to work it shocker workers back to work. and that really is about social attitudes, ensure that the division in this country that opened up under president trump, i just traveled to south america. which of the higher vaccination rate in north america. everyone's always massed yet to show vaccine car to get in the grocery store. there's no political divisions driving it. we need to get to that kind of attitude. all still had, hey, all the al jazeera l, she bob co resolved another suicide bombing in somalia. as the country holds parliamentary elections, and promising to end detentions for profits, migrants on refugees ought to be put under house arrest in the us. ah. look forward to protest. gomez. the winter sponsored boy cutaways

but also members of nature with their heads of government on missing what shots? the german chancellor in the chance flurry here in berlin, all of whom have their own concerns. all of whom either share a border with russia or a border with b, yellow roofs. and we know that russian forces right now are missing on the border of russia with ukraine that are also present in the yellow arrows for military exercises, many of which are taking place on the border with ukraine. the reuters news agency says the us pans to help the year. a replenish it's missile defense interceptors after a state of attacks by who the rebels. now the iranian aligned group was wage or has waged a string of attacks on the u. a in recent weeks. many of miss that target, but one rocket attack, kill 3 civilians last month. now the head of the us central command told voices the u. s. will do everything it can to assist the u. a. in defending itself. indonesia

that the key issue of the goal of this meeting is to show up the end of the civic partnerships and push back on the growing power of china. in this region, and of course, it's inevitable that russia and ukraine will also be discussed, but the pushback will be on china. it's assertiveness in the region as well as military expansion. the likes of the disputed at south china se. so the goal of this particular meeting is to present alternative to the china lead order in asia and the americas. often a lincoln's often referred to as an affirmative vision. and this is the lights of presenting a free open and inclusive pact as opposed to a china lead order. but of course, china and its partnership now with russia, which will also be discussed. there was a meeting between shooting pagans. that'd be a potent ahead of the winter olympics, where they discussed a new strategic partnership and that declared a no limits strategic, strategic partnership in that pledged mutual protection of core interests. and that, of course, refers to the likes of ukraine and russia, as well as china and taiwan. so it is a packed agenda,

and all of this is coming as tensions in europe, amount with the number of trips on the board of ukraine increasing. so it's packed agenda, but we don't expect to press conference until about 5 hours from now. of course china is always a very suspicious of this strategic partnership. oh, hosted at the moment by australia. what do their reaction will be to this current meeting? which one is a long time critic of the quote initiative? it describes it as a flat tree and raises tensions, of course and left side. china simply doesn't want a group of countries working cooperatively in the region to try and stifle its expansion militarily and on the economic front. we have seen china's increasing aggression towards the likes of japan and india. obviously, this court making will have that on the agenda to try and collaborate and push back on that, but significantly, it's a face to face meeting, which of course is doing this pandemic. so it is inevitable that to mentioned that the crime and russia will be raised. but what will be interesting to see is whether

or not there's a joint statement on this. we have a long partnership between india and russia. of course, india has been reluctant to criticize you cry, and so a lot on the agenda. and as i mentioned, the press conference is not to about 5 hours from now. but that court meeting gets underway in the next couple of hours in melbourne. so o'clock 47, bertha, thanks very much for the update. now, the head of london metropolitan police, a step down following a series of scandals and questions. over her judgment, chris dick says the city's man left her no choice after withdrawing his confidence . pressure on her has grown over an initial choice not to investigate party locked downs, that the prime minister's official residence, along with races allegations of the murder of a woman by a serving police officer. she was the 1st woman to lead the force of the capital. following contact with the mayor of london today, it is quite clear that the man no longer has sufficient confidence in my leadership
