a veterinarian before she signed up to fight. not so many of them made the thing you seem. look, i have a child, she's 10 years old. i want her to have a peaceful sky over her head. that's why i'm here. i consciously decided to join up and defend my country. boxes of explosives and ammunition, the constant threat from above. the russian army trying to push forward under a blackening sky. charles, drafted jazeera, eastern grade. they've been confrontations between opposing groups of protests as in bulgaria of whether the government should do more for ukraine to the police in the capital. sophia tried to separate people calling for more aid and those wanting the government to stay neutral. earlier parliament voted in favor of allowing the repair of ukraine's military equipment. it's also refused russian demands to pay for gas. in lubo, european union, one says 27 member states to ban russian oil imports as part of its latest

this will be a complete import bannon. all russian will seaborne and pipeline crude and refined . but in order for this to happen, it will need the support of all e u member states, and some a strongly resistant to all out embargoes by sally back. give you. russell anxious package would destroy the security of hungry energy supply. while you're like this package in this form cannot responsibly be supported on one as nature need. the sanctions proposed in strasburg will also target several large russian banks and other financial institutions. the notable absentee from the list is russian natural gas. in a sense, it's the elephant to the european living room, too big to be ignored, but also too big, unilaterally to be done away with, without seriously damaging economies across this continent. the bottom line is you will probably not be able to replace rocky gas any time. so we're talking about

a $150000000.00 billing cubic meters of gas that russia says west that's coming down at the moment. but we're still gonna face a shortage of, of quite a few bcm out there. the russian government condemned the proposed embargo and said sanctions are a double edged weapon, which will also hurt europeans economically. and that's the problem facing e u leaders. they want to act fast against russia, but they're stuck with the reality of decisions that governments across europe made over decades when they thought that it was in their best interests to make deals with president putin. dominic cane al jazeera berlin bolden, the yellow show rise get inflation is now the number one concern for most americans . in response, the federal reserve raised a key interest rate by half a percentage point. it hopes the move will reduce demand and lower inflation. is the biggest hike in 20 years. gabriel is under has more from washington d. c. for recall, do a good,

2019 before anyone had heard of corporate 19, the u. s. economy was humming along inflation was at 1.9 percent. basic interest rates were also low, but then march 2020 hit. and so to do the pandemic, the u. s. economy began to shut down the federal reserve slashed interest rates to near 0 to keep the economy from total collapse. it worked. but since then, supply chains have become clogged while consumer demand has increased along with energy costs, with russia's war and ukraine. goods and services have become more expensive. inflation kept creeping up last year and has been over 6 percent for 6 straight months. it's now at a 40 year high, so interest rates are going up to put the brakes on an overheating economy. left unchecked, inflation can need to an unsustainable cycle of price hikes that directly affect

consumers and business owners. just like ricardo the food truck owner, have a business run in a family to support i not to raise the price as well. unfortunately, i don't have a way around it. the government hoping this latest interest rate hike will provide the economy with what the fed calls a soft landing for millions of americans. gabriel's hondo algae zeta washington that the world health organization has warned that access to safe abortions is crucial to saving lives. a statement by federal eminem, gabrielle as follows. the leaking of a document suggesting the u. s. supreme court may soon reverse a landmark abortion ruling. the draft opinion has spawned pro and anti abortion rights. demonstrations across america will difficult returns the legal right to abortion. nearly half of all us states would move to restrict or ban the procedure . but as rob reynolds reports, california is one of 3,

living in california is the least restricted access to abortion in the us. it covers the cost of the procedure for low income women and requires private insurance to pay for it. newsome has suggested that state funds may be used to help women in anti abortion states. pay for travel to california. california has wor, abortion providers than any other state, but that network is likely to come under pressure. as the number of women traveling to california to undergo the procedure is likely to increase dramatically. we anticipate substantially more people coming to california and to los angeles. we've been working with our hospital partners with a variety of partners across los angeles across the state, in addition to our legislative and gubernatorial leaders. and really are doing all that. we can to anticipate this moment, governors of other states where abortion will remain legal no matter what the
