more will be coming. as russia seems to be shifting its focus on the ground to eastern ukraine, the rest of the country remains very much the target of its air power. but the meat edges, you levy or russian president vladimir putin has told a televised meeting of economic officials at western sanctions of back firing. he says moscow is withstanding what he described as an economic bleed screen by the us and europe from italy. soon we will discuss which extra decision is to take in order to maintain rushing business in the circumstances of the sanction pressure from our unfriendly partners. they trotted the fable lines to financial and economic situation in russia and quote, the banking crisis. we can certainly say that this policy is failing. the strategy of the economic blitz creek has failed. functions are hitting the initiators very hard. they have inflation, loss of drug living standard going down in the us and you brush we stand the
7:09 am
unprecedented pressure towards the jabari is in moscow. she says, president putin is putting out a business as usual message. the mean, i seem of his message to his financial and economic. her officials during this meeting was that at the country's economic status has now normalized and stabilized . he said that the retail demands have now as in normalized as well as the inflation in the country has stabilize. this is in reference to a number of things that took place following at the launch of early this country. so called special military operation in ukraine, which began on february 24th a slew of unprecedented sanctions against russia began. and now at this country is the world's most sanction country. as a result of it, the president, i was in talking about the panic purchasing that took place following the sanctions
7:10 am
that came into force in the last few days of february in the beginning of march. many russians and believe that their country was going to be completely cut off from the rest of the world. and there was a lot of panic in terms of the general public. and are they purchased many things, the thinking that they wouldn't be able to get their hands on it later at that has since gone down a lot. as the president said, there was also an inflation ad that was happening at the rate of about 2 percent weekly as a result of the sanctions now. or that has seemingly also subsided to levels or go back to before add the. our operation began earlier, we spoke to kurt volker, he's a former us ambassador to nato. about the task ahead of rebuilding ukraine believes at least some of the enormous costs will be covered by seized russian assets. it is urgent because we're talking about the, the homes and livelihood of 40000000 people. and this has been destroyed by russia, needs to be rebuilt as quickly as possible so that these people can get on with
7:11 am
their lives and get on with making their country successful. again, in terms of who pay the 1st $400.00 or so $1000000000.00 and i think will come from the see to assets of the russian central bank that are held in western countries. means i think need to be used to pay for reconstruction without question. in addition to that, i'm quite sure that the european union, united states, canada, u. k. possibly states in the gulf as well, want to contribute to a ukraine reconstruction fund. but the amount needed is going to be we're talking hundreds of millions of dollars, probably as much as a trillion dollars once the war is over. i am not making any comparison with him in syria or libya or any of these other places, but also need to be rebuilt. the difference with ukraine is that we expect that there will be a sovereign, independent, legitimate government in ukraine. that is prepared to accept rebuilding ponds and
7:12 am
can get on with making that country successful. in the case of syria, we're talking about a sod still on tower. and there should be no assistance given to the regime for reconstruction. likewise, the fighting is still going on in yemen, and even in libya where although we do have a un approved government, there is still devastation, a lot of division within libya and you have to be resolved. jordan king's abdullah has spoken with egyptian president of the faith. i'll cc about the violence at the i'll accept mos compound since friday. they've been confrontations between palestinians and israelis. police jerusalem's old cities considered wholly to muslims, jews and christians is holidays of ramadan. paul, save in easter converge at the same time this year. both lead is called for an end to what they say are provocative israeli actions. meanwhile, these early army says as strikes of hit camps used by hamas and garza off to rock,
