shelf at the 36th street station and brooklyn police are searching for the attacker . reading actually go downstairs with regard. we did it. but you know lisa, arm bill is coming out with a stretcher. what operating on it? their leg was injured? i'm not sure exactly what went on or what was going on. and then we saw after that to ambulance coming out with like, hopping on one leg. obviously they got her in the leg as well. so i'm not quite sure what's going on or was going new york police are telling people to stay away from the area of the shooting, which is hung to that as a chinatown and is popular for its views of the statue of liberty. that's also a large warehouse district where many creative businesses have set up our i to these live pictures from the scene there you can see oversee the fire department is there as well as the n y p d. we have kristen salumi standing by who's falling developments for us from new york kristen to start again from from the top. what we know and what we don't know

. so we know that police responded to a, this subway station in a working class neighborhood of brooklyn, new york, 13 people were taken to the hospital at least 5 shots. according to initial reports. it's not clear, the other people may have been injured trying to get out of the train. falling. all of the injuries may not be related to gunshot wounds. we know that police are looking for a man who was wearing a gas mask and an orange best like a construction vest. and we know that there was smoke on the subway platform according to witnesses speaking to local media. as the shots rang out, there was warnings from police about a potential explosive devices about explosive devices on the subway

platform. obviously a, a big concern. ah, the area was evacuated, it remains blocked off and under investigation. police have issued a statement saying that they, there are no active explosive devices that they know of that. so it's not clear if they're there were devices there that had been detonated or, or removed, or if they were just smoking and i made to look like explosives that has not been clarified. we are waiting for official word from law enforcement and city officials. we also can talk about the fact that subway crime has been an increasing concern for city residence and city officials. and in recent weeks, the mayor of new york, eric adams has instituted new policies to try to deal with that more police in the

subways, removing homeless people from subway systems, trying to get them into shelters. all of this as well as cracking down on turn style jumpers meant to make people feel safer in the subway as crime. in february of this year was 200 percent higher than it was in 2021. and that prompted all of these reforms, but not enough to stop this incident from happening clearly. and that will be a concern for the millions of people who ride the subway on a daily basis. absolutely. christmas. how do these investigations normally work? obviously, we can see many, many people at the see may different emergency services. i mean, we've got police fire department, i believe gabriella was on the telling us earlier though, that if the i office is there is well given that this happened on public transport . ah, and given that the alleged shooter is,

is still at lodge. what does that mean for all the transport hubs around the city? what have we heard so far from emergency officials? when we know that this subway station is closed down, but other parts of the public tram system are working around it in terms of the investigation. new york has the largest police department in the entire country with some 35000 employees. that includes officers and office staff, but it's a, it's, it's a larger police department than some countries have armies. and after september 11th, in particular, the department trained expanded and really focused on dealing with mass casualty terrorism style events. so there are within the police department, very specialized units. there's a specialized in force for the subway itself. the f b,

i has officers here on the federal level. they will be called in. if it looks to be under their jurisdiction as well. there are many law enforcement agencies based here in new york, and it would not be surprising if many of them are engaged in, in the investigation. but the n y, p d will be the lead here and they have a, as i say, specialized terrorism unit. they also have cameras in many public areas of the city and on platforms. this is not manhattan, it is not a tourist area. so i may not be as covered by cameras and patrols as other parts of new york. but nonetheless, there are police officers and investigators assigned to that part of the city, as well as these special terrorism units are and all of which likely would be

called in a situation like this at some point to get involved in the investigation. we do not even know at this point if the suspect has been brought into custody last, we knew they were looking for the suspect. and as far as we know, that is still the case, but again, things are happening so quickly. this is still very much an active investigation and we have not received official word from law enforcement yet. there are a lot of a lot of questions still to be answered. ok, we'll leave it there for now. kristin, sending me there for us in new york. i believe we can cross over to alan fisher, who joins us live from washington, d. c. ah allen. at the time that this is happening, there are also efforts from the white house to tackle gum violence. it's a growing problem here in the united states, something the joe biden acknowledged in an event on the south lawn of the white house almost 24 hours ago there. he announced that he was going to get more powers of the department of justice and more money to the department of just is to do

something about gun crime, ting, crease and improve community policing. he believes that the america would be better, almost if there was a police officer on every street corner. he knew his community intimately, and he's going to take action against the so called gorse guns. guns that can be bought from the internet, put together in less than half an hour and then can shoot and kill people. and they have no markings, nor serial numbers. that means that they can't be traced back to buyers who don't need background checks to buy these kits. and so he is clamping down on the so called goose guns because he's seen an increase in their use at that at crime scenes a by fivefold over the a tenfold over the last 5 years. but he would like to go farther and he made that point on the south lawn. he would like to do something about assault rifles. he doesn't believe that there, there should be so many of them in circulation doesn't believe in large capacity

magazines. and of course, it was large capacity magazines that did so much damage in some of the wash mass shootings. here in the united states like the pulse night club, shooting, where 50 people were killed or the killing in las vegas. in 2018 were 60 people were short dead and of course there had been a number of incident since then. in fact, since the start of the year got including this event in new york, there been $131.00. my shootings are more than 11000 people have died some by suicide, some at the hands of others. but more than 11000 people have died. but because of a gun in the united states since the beginning of the year. and remember, it's april the 12th. so you can see that this is a huge problem. the job i'd would like to get his hand droned, but he knows the political reality of the situation and is thwarted almost every other president who's decided that they want to do something about gun crime. because the 2nd amendment lobby as they call them here in the united states,

people who believe that is the right to bear arms are so strong, so wealthy and so powerful that they make it almost impossible. they paralyze a capitol hill so that no action can be taken. we had from one shooting survivor on the south lawn on monday, who said that they were tired of hearing politicians offering thoughts and prayers after my shootings. what they need is some action, and if you go back to 2012 and the shooting at sandy hook, elementary school were 26 people were killed, including 20 young children. and a politician told me that point. if we can't change the laws after that and the united states, i don't think we ever will allen the president. has it been briefed on this particular incident? what is playing out now in new york city are to we know what he said or what to assistance. the white house is, is offering well, we know that not only is the situation in new york being monitored here at the

white house. and senior officials from here are in contact with both the new york mir, and the police commissioner to offer any and all assistance they can if the ask for any federal government resources they will be given. but it's also being monitored to across the city at the department of justice. and at the f b i there, they were waiting to hear the latest updates from new york from the commissioner from the mir. and find out what they can do to help. is there any expertise that they might be able to provide new york? at this stage, it remains an investigation that has been driven and led by n y, p d. there will of course, be assistance from the f b i. it's interesting though that, that continues to be the focus, the n y p d. because without the f b i taking over the inquiry that suggests at this point. and it still is very early, but at this point there's no suggestion that this has a terrorist element to it. and normally we would hear that pretty early on. so this

is a situation that is being monitored all over washington dc. and of course, the resources of the federal government are there for and why a, for new york city from the police department in the mail to tap into at any point. and as i talking about sort of the rise in gun violence and, and talking about what a difficult issue it is for our presidents, as you say, because of the 2nd amendment lobby that right to bear arms. ah, that is powerful in the states. i'm wondering how concerned every day americans are you talk about the, the 2nd amendment lobby, that's fine. but what about, you know, americans who are looking at those statistics and who are looking at these images. now coming out of, of brooklyn, it did these things, become insidious the sea pin to your bones and into your consciousness. because a lot of the time you go about your business thinking, well, i'm fine, i'm safe that nothing that is going to happen here. nothing that is going to happen

to me. how many times do you hear after my shooting? when you speak thai witnesses, they say, well i never thought anything like that would happen here. and that tends to be the general view that by and large america is a pretty safe place. and in comparison with many other places in the world, it is. but it becomes a thing that you become more aware of when it happens to people who are going about their business, heading off to what just starting their day and thinking, what time will i get to the office? will i be able to pick up a coffee on the way they are and suddenly that the, the center of a major incident like this. and so they start to think, could that happen to me when i'm traveling and to what bye bus? is there a possibility that someone might take a shot at me and it becomes a concern? that is why so often when you see pause being carried out, you see the fear of crime is much higher than actual crime itself because people

are concerned at the next attack could be them. so joe biden has got to get his arms around this problem because he knows that there has been a rising crime, arise in violent crime and arising gun crime. and so he's got to do something about it and he's got to do something while he still has political capital, because this could really impact him. if people feel scared and frightened, they will vote scared and frightened when it comes to the midterm elections in november. and that normally means not good news for the incumbent. jo biden's personal approval rating is already very low. if he doesn't manage to confront a couple of key issues on the economy. but on general, keeping american save, which is the president's number one job than that will be reflected in the polls come member. and that is something that he and his advisors are losing the democratic party. and those and the republican party are very a will alan, when we look at, i guess,

rising violence generally in the united states rising crime. it differs a country to country on how these things are dealt with in terms of where the funding comes from. to tackle these issues. is it federal funding, federal policies, or is it, does it go down to the local level of, of how each state tries to deal with the, the crime specific to their areas. it, it becomes a real complicated muddle of higher individual police departments are funded, but certainly there are federal funds there that can be tapped into for things like community policing initiatives. and joe biden would like to see more of them when it comes to perhaps doing something about gun crime. again, there are initiatives that various police departments can apply to the federal government and say, this is our plan. this is what we're going to do. this is the success we think we can bring, we need x amount of money and then the federal government and the various committees

in the various departments decide. yeah, that is an idea that we can get behind. so becomes very complicated and it's not quite as simple as a local city saying we are going to raise $10000000.00 for policing this year. and 8000000 of that will come from local taxes and we'll get the rest from various other means. it is incredibly difficult and complicated, and people i think, understand that what they want is to feel safe as they're walking down the street to see a police officer. and of course, over the last 23 years here in the united states. we've had a lot of discussions about the role of the police and how safe people feel when the police are just doing their ordinary job. so the whole question of policing in the united states has been a real problem over the last 3 months. joe biden says he's not in favor of scrapping the police of abolishing the police. he very much supports the police,

but there are reforms he would like to push through congress. remember, there were talks at the very beginning of his presidency, about some changes. please excuse me, but there's no sign that those talks are going anywhere. in fact, there was a question to the press secretary jane sachi about that in the briefing room. i was there yesterday afternoon when she was asked where those talks are and there was no sign of any movement. so the whole question of police funding, police reform, how much money would be paid to reform the police? there is the strength of the police unions. there's the strength of those to support the police against those who would like to see parts of it change. it is a huge question here in the united states. i'm not one that people easily have a solution for that is acceptable to both sites. all right, i will leave it there for now. thank you that allen fisher live for us from the white house. let's go back now to kristen salumi, who is in new york. christine,

just remind of you as have just joined us. ah, what we know so far and, and talk us through as well, the location where this happened to be his. this is a during the morning commute, 36th street subway station in new york city. you can imagine it would be, it would have been very, very busy. absolutely. this is in the sunset park neighbourhood of brooklyn. there's a large chinese community that large asian community that lives there. it's a working neighborhood of the city. i many commuters during the morning rush would have been on their way to work to school to shop, to do what it is they do during the day, and we are seeing officers still on the scene there, swarming the scene. public has been pushed away as they investigate what is a shooting incident? we know 13 people were taken to the hospital. we believe 5 of them have gunshot

wounds. no fatalities reported yet. we know that police are looking for a man with an orange vest, looked like a construction vest something official. he was wearing a gas mask and carrying tools. i have not heard that any one is in custody. i but again, we have not heard a lot from police in general. they are still very much actively investigating. we see firefighters on the scene, we see a plain clothes officers on the scene. we see uniform officers and as we were talking about earlier, new york being the largest city in the country, being the largest police department in the country. and a major international hub has, every law enforcement agency in the country has a, has a base here, whether it's department of homeland security, the f b i a bureau of alcohol, tobacco, and firearms. but this is an n y p

d investigation at the moment it suggests it's local doesn't have any cross state or cross country connections yet that we know of. and it comes at a time when the city is very much concerned about rising gun violence and rising subway crime. in particular, the mayor of the city, eric adams, introduced just in the last month, major reforms to the way the subway is patrol by police. the way a homeless people on the subways are treated as the city is again cracking down on turn style jumpers on the subway, who don't pay as a way of policing it more, they have more patrols there. they have been removing homeless people from sleeping on benches. or on trains trying to move them into shelters as a way to increase security at a time when

a gun violence and in the city is up and violence on the city rose there on the subways. in particular, rose 200 percent between february of this year and last year i had thank you. then i kristin's lou milan for us in new york could let's bring in down porter who is a retired new york police department who tenants and who joins me now. for new york, thank you very much for your time, sir. what will be happening right now with this investigation? there's only a little bit that we know. we know that there has been a shooting on a subway. we know that at least 13 people are injured. 2 of them critically or we don't know if a suspect is in custody, so what are what will be happening now behind the scenes there's going to be collaborative approach between local law enforcement and federal law enforcement as well as state law enforcement. the local law enforcement will going to be members of the n y p d. you can have a series of detectives, members of the,

the tactical response unit. you're also going to have members of the joint terrorism task force are going to focus on that as well as on the federal level, you're going to have a t that's the, the bureau of alcohol, tobacco, and firearms, the f, b i m on the state level we were to have the state police. what you could do now is you could look to capture video. this person got off of the train and ne, unleash the smoke mom. we want to see with that person exiting. so there's gonna be a combination of different videos on a street level that would capture an image of this person as the eggs in the subway system. we here at the information that we have right now is this is the person who had a gas mask on an a trans address. so we're going to try to capture information net spits that profile. being bear in mind, that person may have discarded that cast mass as well as that best. so you also want to understand that is a possible height aim a skin color because people should have been able to determine that the skin color

of the individual. i did this be the looking after hands on porch, so that the neck and so long, that information is going to be transmitted to the 3 components of law enforcement that i mention, the possibly put out a description of the individual that will look in a caption weapon callback correspondence that other major transport hobbs ala subway stations haven't been shut down. what does that say to you? well, it is very difficult to make assessment as to why or why not additional subway ubs were not close on. what i can tell you was this days, it is a search or rib perimeter search that's occurring at that area where this person exited the subway system. you had to bury my new york city has a largest subway system in the united states. so for you to in essence shut down, the system in the entirety would be catastrophic for the comings and goings for the

8 and a half 1000000 residents that reside in new york. therefore, we want to localize a search or grid pattern to ensure that we can do if we have to expand it, we will. but the police that it all, i should say, the boots on the ground that are at the location had a better have a better understanding as to what the level of flight or what the flight was of the sale. another thing on that correspondence was saying earlier, is that normally at this point we would have heard if this was a terrorism related incident in your experience, is that usually the case? does that sort of information tend to come out fairly quickly? normally it does. but at the same token, law enforcement moon, it may want a whole lot of this information close to the breast it clearly a level is coolly a domestic act of terrorism. there is no, it is undisputed that this was an act of domestic terrorism. and we want to know why it happened, and i think one of the things i should have pointed this out earlier because

a smoke bomb was use, we want to confiscate the physical evidence. and we want to find out where this smoke bomb came from. what was it manufacture, and what was the pathway to sail? let's say for arguments sake, if it was assembled in indiana was a transport, it was a transported and so in north carolina. so those of significant steps in determine who actually acquired this smoke mom and nat can possibly lead us in the direction or give us an area where we can continue our search. we've been hearing that there have been efforts recently to try and tackle crime on the subway. our n y p d office is trained in dealing with this type of incident with the officers who arrived on the scene likely have been trained in dealing with something like this. after 911, this been a seismic shift in the in white ged the train officers on anti terrorism precautions officers a far more um resource now than ever before. we have police officers that are

carrying magnetometers and a host of different resources that can the system and engaging threads of this magnitude in the subway system. so the police officers, i believe, a readily prepared to manage situations like this. however, if the officer is not there, then it really defeats the purpose. or i thank you so much for breaking it down for us down ports there of a tide. you your police department, lieutenant, we appreciate you. ah, well let's get some other news now. and ukraine says that russia has nearly finished moving the military units. it needs into east and positions for renew, defensive, much of the fighting. it's expected to focus on mario poll, the pulled city that suffered the worst bombardment of the war. and russia has

announced that it's stopped ukrainian service men from escaping out of a steel pond in mario pole. jarell or jealous last night, april 11th in mary paul. the rest of the ukrainian troops surrounded the territory of the elite plant and made an unsuccessful attempt to escape from the city. a group of ukrainian servicemen numbering up to a 100 people in armored vehicles, tried to break through from the territory of the plans and leave the city in a northern direction. although this attempted breakthrough was thwarted by air and artillery strikes. russian president vladimir putin says the west cannot isolate his country until keep working closely with friendly governments. person has been hosting his close ally pollution president, alexander lucas shanker. in russia's fall east, they attended an event at a cosmo throng. mocking the annual survey state. many of the russian troops invaded ukraine, went through valley bruce. no, great. unfortunately,

ukraine was created as some kind of launch pad for aggression against russia and the offshoots of nationalism. what totally cherished this new generation of ukrainian nationalists are especially crashing with russia. you see how nazi ideology became a fact of life and ukraine was, it was unavoidable. we are taking steps to provide security for russia. we didn't have any other choice. we did the right thing, and i have no doubt that our aims will be achieved. is that we don't intend to be isolated, it's impossible to severely isolate any one in the modern world, especially such a vast country as russia. that's why we are going to continue to work with those about harkness, who want to cooperate dylan. yes, very good. ok, moving on, do we have rom mcbride's? no, we do not. so moving on, russian back to separate his forces, a denying allegations that chemical weapons were used in their attempts to seize

mary poll, ukrainian politician ivana claim push had said moscow ward allies used what she called an unknown substance, which caused people to suffer respiratory failure. no evidence has been put forward the u. k is armed forces minister says they can't yet verify the allegations. so i'm afraid that we know nothing more than than you've been able to report which is that there were some reports circulating on ukrainian social media yesterday evening. but chemical weapons had been used in mary paul overnight. that's not something that defense intelligence here in london. it was confirmed or any of their intelligence counterparts in with our allies around the world. and indeed place presidents lensky address last night, also referred to report. so there's been no verification within the ukrainian system. eva, british police for fine prime minister bars johnson for breaching coven 19 lockdown

laws in wants become known as the party gates scandal. senior cabinet minister chancellor richey soon. i will also be penalize scandal has angered many in britain of allegations that the government flaunted its own. pandemic restrictions. ne vanka joins us live from london nave. does this make bars? johnson, the 1st sitting prime minister to receive a punishment from breaking the law with us was several british newspapers are saying, i of course, accusing him of essentially breaking the rules that he was setting for the rest of us in order to try and keep the country safe during perhaps when the biggest challenges, britain, his face since the 2nd world war, and following him down that bumpy road, of course, is richie soon act a 2nd most powerful person in the country. the chance of the exchequer, with a finance minister, of course, responsible for the countries and finances the a spokesperson for number 10, made the announcement earlier,

rather than actually coming from the met police. but that spoke by some also confirm that carry johnson boyce johnson's wife has also been slapped with a fixed penalty notice, which is essentially a fine as a nominal sum of no more than a couple of 100 dollars. but the symbol is moved. this, of course, resonates massively considering that sir, these are seniors, super senior officials, responsible for setting the laws and essentially now being accused of breaking them of the inquiry and just began that with the police in january. this was on the tail end of an internal inquiry by the top civil servant su grey. she concluded that that had been failures of leadership. a full report from ha is on hold until the ment. police conclude that finding. so for 50 individuals employed by number 10 of been fine so far. the question is, how will boris johnson a re she's tonight respond to this parliament's recess. both men are away from

london, boys. johnson at his country residence in check his will. he try and wait for this to blow over before formulating. response is unclear right now. okay. i might as so of, of the cars. it rolls at the time. and the parties that are reported to have happened because i remember the u. k. had some very strict lockdown rolls at the time. yeah, those are rules were pretty much on the sliding scale in terms of severity. the existence of course, between 20202021. during some of that period, there was a complete ban on groups of people beating inside and also outside and during some of the toughest periods of restrictions. boris johnson is accused of attending possibly as many as 6 events, including a garden party at number 10. there are other events that are alleged to have taken place at

a downing street as well. the boys johnston was not believe to have attended, including several good by parties, won were're officials were sent out on a booze run to go and get more alcohol to keep the party going. all of this on the e for the duke of edinburgh funeral. so clearly a tremendous amount of criticism for the kind of leadership, the bar is johnson and now clearly his number to richie sudak, the kind of leadership bay was showing during this critical and crucial period. he pocket f r in london. thank you sir. lanka has defaulted on its $51000000000.00 foreign debt. the on nation is in the grip of its worst economic crisis in history, causing acute food fuel and electricity shortages. public anger fled in recent weeks to anchors. finance ministry says it's defaulting to preserve the cache, it has while it waits for an international monetary fund, valence and al fernandez has more from columbus with just a day to go to the local saying, hello time. a new year this,

the colombo shot of hub is teeming. you can see stalls selling the wrong, and people sort of taking a look here. another ford shop where people are trying to buy some treat for the new year. but a reminder down here of what the situation is, a generator just to keep things running for the power. ah, because many, many people are suffering with power cut. just one of the issues. that's the reality of the economic crisis, the tree lockers going through. and we're. a hearing from the government that they have decided in the interim to stop debt repayment in the process of going to the i m f. they will be looking to restructure their debt. that announcement has come today. some economy say this is far too late in the coming. they've been asking for it for months and months. and the government insisted that it was in control, but now deciding to put a halt in the interim and can centrally restructure debt. when i come out of gordon,

really, guy, now, everything has gone up in price. i came to by close by the are so expensive that the question is, is it enough for months and months? economist, opposition politicians have been asking the government to put a hold on its debt repayment to negotiate a sort of plan default. and meanwhile, to save the precious foreign currency, which is for so depleted. and that's what led to all one of these shortages fuel, cooking, gas, food items, medicine. and that is what a has been the rallying cry to. the government is ready forces. if 5 tear gas and robert bullet said palestinian students inside university campus near clyde west bank, the palestinian red crescent says dozens have been injured. witnesses say violence began the morning inside door university. ned tool come not far from the separation

wall. elsewhere in the occupied west bank, israeli forces have withdrawn from jeanine after detaining more palestinians. 17 people have so far been arrested in israeli, raised in the occupied territory. israel intensified its incursions after a palestinian goblin shot and killed 3 as rabies and tel aviv late last week. 5 palestinians have been killed and the raids that followed separately is where the forces shot dead. a palestinian worker in ash calon, stopping what they said was an attempted stabbing attack will need it. abraham has more now from inside the janine refugee camp. we're here in the jeanie and refugee camp where young palestinians are blocking the entrances to the refugee camp. during up for a potential is really read the are putting on tie your garbage been because they are really army has threatened to read the cab and they want to arrest the family

of rod has him. he's the gunmen who killed 3 is really in an attack. what are bar and tel aviv with the family says they had no idea their son was flossing, anything, and they're not intending to turn themselves in. now, according to all estimates, jeannine has thousands of gone thing gone, men were ready to flash with these radio. me that almost read the cab and the janine area. every day we've met people here who say they're sad, they're angry by the late killing of palestinians by the israeli army. but they say they are ready to fight the war. and ukraine is also causing prices to soar in the u. s. where the consumer price index has hit and you record the inflation rate. jump to a point 5 percent compared to a year ago. that's the fastest annual rate increase since $981.00 compared to last month that rose 5.6 percent reflecting high

a few food and housing costs. according to say, inflation will cost the average us household an extra 5200 dollars this year. john henry has been taking a closer look at how rising inflation is affecting the lives of ordinary americans . he sent us this report from chicago. inflation affects the ways or leanest. smith, members eats, shops, drives nearly every aspect of her life. we went from lipton's to store brand, see because i love it, my daughter love it, and that's what we could afford. the inflation have in the store. we used to can spin fe, 20 bucks on lunch, me bread and cheese. the basic things have done of local bread is $5.00, who can afford that? food and fuel have been especially hard hit pandemic related kinks in the global supply chain and an energy shortage partly due to the war. and ukraine has driven

up prices on a broad range of goods. if you do seem products on sale, which is become less pervasive than ever before. you know, buying stock up, put things in the freezer because prices are not going to go down. that's left grocery store shelves, more bare and more pricey. the dollar tree is the kind to store a lot of working class families come to just save money for 35 years, nearly everything in the store cost a dollar. now, it's about a quarter question. some of the founder of chicago's nonprofit violence interrupted program says inflation appears to be contributing also to spike in crime. the reason why that some of the crime that was rising is because inflation is pretty tough out here. yeah. people trying to rob peter to pay paul, you have the ca, jackins on the rise with the u. s. government hoping to lower gas prices by releasing oil from the nation's strategic petroleum reserve, and the federal reserve raising interest rates to discourage borrowing. president biden says his administration is working on it more and more americans get jobs as

they do, it's going to help ease the supply pressures. we see. and that's good news for fighting. inflation is good news for our economy, means that our economy has gone from being on the men to be on the move for sir, lena smith, members, inflation has also dashed her hopes of starting of the year with the new kitchen labour prices went up from $12000.00 to $25000.00 and a matter of a year. so this is the old kitchen with new appliances. and we have cabinets in my garage. we have countertops in my garage, florrie, and we can't afford to do for her. and many americans each day brings less and less for them to cut john henderson al jazeera chicago. let's bring in lauren milady a. p is stipulate director of macro economic analysis at the roosevelt institute. she joins us now from new york. thank you so much for your time. isn't just the war and ukraine causing prices to rise causing inflation. now,

when you say it's just the wor, no, we've seen in the united states 8.5 percent increase in inflation over the past year. and if you look at the categories that are driving that inflation, it's the story of for industry sectors, in particular, it's energy, food, housing, and cars. and so, well, some of these are certainly impacted by what's going on in ukraine right now. many of these other industries have had long standing problems that have contributed to the price increase, as we've seen in the past year. ok. what about issues with the supply chain? what about increased demand? well i think that each of these categories has their own unique dynamics. so we definitely have seen with energy and food. they're really influenced by what's happening geopolitically right now. and i certainly are supply chain challenges

with the car industry. but housing in particular, you know, that's something that there's not an increased demand for it. there's a supply shortage, and that's something that domestically can be taken care of through congressional action. what sort of congressional action do you think should be being taken? well right now, the policy plan in the united states for pray, stability is for the federal reserve to raise interest rates. and they've already started doing that. but that's only dealing with one side of the problem. so in terms of congressional action today, whether it's energy, or housing, or food, there are public investments that can be made in building more affordable housing, in building out the green energy infrastructure that we need to get our dependency off of fossil fuels. but also regulatory changes that can be made to rein in corporate power and landlords that have outside power in people's daily lives. shaw

things are fairly simple things. how is the market reacting to these inflation figures? well, i think that you know, the market, it continues to be strong and i think the outlook is still bad. inflation is going to come down in the next year. but if we really want to make sure that people, you know, basic necessities are covered. well, everyone agrees that the federal reserve can, can do some things here to keep the market in check. we also need other policy interventions to make sure that life is affordable for people. i'm certainly high. thank you very much. your time. lauren, milady a deputy director of macro economic analysis at the roosevelt institute. thank you . the fighting in ukraine has caused widespread shortages of 1st laser within weeks . prices have skyrocketed across the globe. fathers say they're struggling to meet their costs and it's left consumers unable to pay coffee. lopez high on has more

it's harvest season in the soybean field and southern brazil, the city of put in topple. this is more than 10000 kilometers from ukraine, but the war seems closer than ever. russia and ukraine account for nearly 30 percent of global fertilizer exports, but the war and sanctions are hurting supply chains across the world. though when we will resume scott, my question is from where will brazil buy more fertilizers? we have to find the markets, but it's not that simple also. mm hm. brazil is the world's 4th largest consumer of fertilizers. hannah was sworn higher prices means less production of essential crops. farmers are also struggling in kenya, up until recently, fertilizing this entire farm. and i, roby cost about a $175.00. now, it's 5 times as much like inequality, all the mach well for on hand with the price,

like it's gonna cost about $875.00 to cover the farm. but that i can continue with this business. i'm quitting because the losses are too high. developing countries have been hit particularly hard by the shortage. the number of people facing food insecurity has increased over the last year, especially after the pandemic. that comes out a bad time and just ends up exacerbating our challenges globally. in this read market in athens, the effects of the war are already hurting both suppliers and consumers. naples model, i would pay about $20.00 to $24.00 for a unit of fertilizer, but now the price is about $41.00. and i'm talking about fertilizes that are essential for us. food prices were soaring before the war. the us says it's world food price index reached the highest level last month since it started keeping records in 1990. the fighting in ukraine is intensifying the problem,

putting at risk future harvests. castillo visit again. al jazeera french president. emanuel corn has been confronted by angry health workers in the eastern city of maloof. they urged mccall, who is campaigning for a 2nd term office to do more to improve their working conditions and salaries. the city was an epi center of the crone of ours outbreak 2 years ago. at the time, health work is more that the system had been stretched to its limit because you will fall right challenger marine. the pen says she has no plans to pull from out of the e u. the pen is a prominent euro skeptic. she spoken of working to reform the doc, but says even if she can't, she still wouldn't leave nose in the pud project as she to no, i have no hidden agenda. everything i want. i think i've explained myself for the past 8 months in a very precise way. of course, i think a large majority of french people no longer want your opinion as it exists today,

smearing and discrediting china. findings being criticized for how it's controlled the virus. it's now easy restrictions in some shanghai neighborhoods. the cities 26000000 people have been under strict locked down for 2 weeks. is katrina, you shanghai authority say 43 percent of all neighborhoods in shanghai have had their restrictions either. but what this means really varies from neighbourhood to neighborhood. in many cases, what it means is that if your particular residential compound has not have had any positive coven case for about 2 weeks, you may be finally allowed to walk out your front door. and that means you can get some air, walk around the courtyard of your compound, but in many cases you're not allowed to actually leave your compound and then to the public areas. and for the relative few that are allowed to walk into the streets, there really is not much to do because the majority of businesses remain closed. i think the bottom line is that in shanghai,

most of the 25000000 people living in that city are still under some form of strict lockdown. and the reason is because of the numbers on tuesday, we had 23000 cases or just over reported of curve at 19. this is slightly down from the figures on monday, but it's still nowhere near. well, authorities want those numbers to be on tuesday. a shanghai official said that the outbreak is still not effectively under control. and so what we're seeing here is the government really under increasing pressure to do something. it says it is eating a restrictions, but just really mildly because they are facing a lot of complaints about the way this lockdown has been handled so far. indonesia parliament has passed a landmark bill to tackle sexual violence. the new law will provide a comprehensive legal framework. the case is essential abuse until now. the issue had been regarded as

adjustments to be better. well, i came here to win a championship. i want to wear more so i accomplish what i want to accomplish. but i'm still hungry for more so, you know, and i'm confident do organization wants to say is what this organization has always been about. and i told him, there are one of you know, helped us. we're in charge become a champion once again. so i've done it, we've done it, but i wanna do it again. and the new major league baseball season is less than a week old that already we have a contender for catch of the year. brett phillips heard that somebody raised diving the rescue for his team against the open on his effort and couldn't prevent his team from sliding to their 1st loss of the season of the age. when in this game, 136 i really hope to spare. okay, that is, i suppose looking for my service brandy as news. our don't go away though. i'll be
