that the approach, you know, will not be sustainable. and considering the behavior of the bias, i think a shift will be very important. it is important to reflect of the fact that china has only had just over $15000.00 decks during the whole pandemic. so in that sense, china had something to protect. and certainly over the last since for february march, there was a rapid rise and death. so there for any government that situation will take action to try and come back, come by that. but all of those actions, as we said, since the beginning, should be a true respect to individual and human rights. and we always have said a story told we need to balance the control measures against the impact they have on society the impact to have on the economy. and that's not always an easy calibration to me. all right, let's bring in, i'll just here is katrina you who's joining us from beijing via skype. katrina, how are recent locked downs affecting china's economic growth?

it had a devastating effect so far. i've spoken to a number of analysts and they all say that the outlook is very grim, one city. she hasn't seen this kind of impact on china's economy for about a decade now. now the latest figured that we had released this morning was the inflation and figures we had the consumer price index and it came in at 2 point one percent high a year on year for april, which is higher than expected and expense attribute this really to a lot of the supply chain and logistics disruptions, coldest. my curve and lockdown, we have in china, currently, dozens of cities under some sort of restriction because of this current outbreak. the was that china's experience since the beginning of the pandemic, that's really bridging, having on supply chains. and also we had the chinese government despite a lot of criticism. a lot of questions about this. double down on the 0 tolerance

corbin policy just last thursday. president gigi pig said that this was the only way forward, and any critics would be silenced and punished. and this is really being seen to have an impact on a number of sectors in china's economy. china's services sector has shrunk the manufacturing sector, which is known to be the back burner. china's economic growth has also taken a huge blore, and that in turn, has affected millions of workers, especially low income migrant workers. and there's a lot of concerns well about growing unemployment here in china for you graduates as well. they're expecting about $11000000.00 new graduates this year a lauren and they not sure exactly where they're going to be employed. and also all of this really has tight investing confidence. we've seen chinese stock slipping for some time now. and katrina. what's the latest when it comes to the overall situation with outbreaks? there now?

well i mentioned her a dozens of regions affected about $30.00 to $40.00 across the country, an imposing right now varying levels of restrictions trying to get corbet outbreaks under control. i'm in the capitol begging in the east in shall young district. and we've been under a sort of light locked down for about 2 or 3 weeks now i had and got mass testing pretty much every 2nd day. we've been told to work from her, and that's why we're under miss skype right now. bus and train route, some of them have been cancelled, and that's when we're seeing in the capital single digit community transmissions, which just goes to show how the authorities here are scrambling to do whatever they can award a city wide lockdown. and of course, the abbey center of the current not locked down a current outbreak in china. it remains in shanghai. they've had about 1500 new cases reported today, which is really down from numbers that we saw earlier. i during this current

outbreak in april, which we so figures of about $20000.00. but we've seen the authorities and set of easing restrictions. they've gone backwards again as are people who are previously allowed to maybe leave their apartments, walk around their neighborhood. they've all been told to stay indoors for the so called quiet period while the government try to really get this number 1500 down to 0. and of course, has been a lot of frustration and anger around that because they simply do not know when this strict locked down in shanghai is going to and als 0 is katrina. you're joining us from aging. thanks so much. ah, a top u. s. intelligence official is warning that russian president vladimir putin is preparing for a prolonged conflict in ukraine. national intelligence director, admiral haines, says the criminal actions could escalate and become more unpredictable over the next few months. she's also warning that putin will impose marshall,

it kind of kick them into gear and increase the response. i mean, related to some of the economic issues that we face is really hard to get money into the country, but it's also really hard to get money around the country. and so a lot of the overseas assets, the central bank, for example, held have been frozen, still wide raging sanctions on the taliban. and which means that it's really difficult for banks to operate. and, and also i think a lot of the kind of middle class have left a lot of money's last. so again, going monthly's issues of unemployment. they just isn't that much caching system. women have been out protesting and cobble defying a taliban order for them to cover their faces in public. the decree was announced on saturday. it states that women should leave the home only when necessary, and male relatives would be responsible for enforcing the dress code or face punishment. the order has drawn a backlash from the international community, as well as from many afghans. i'm a ma midway and by hi,

emotions ran hind as strangers shared in each other's anger and despair. at the low sat, her son went missing last august. she says the pain of having a son or a daughter go missing, never goes away. when the so now when it gets almost, i'm not the only one. we are many, i don't only speak for myself. i speak for all the disappeared because it's unfair that organized crime takes away so many young men and women to do whatever they want with them. the number of disappeared in mexico is fast approaching 100000. some have been missing since records began in the 60s, but the vast majority of disappearances have been reported since 2006 when former mexican president, philippe, as it own declared a war on drugs. though mexico's current president on british manuel nope, is over a lot promised to reduce disappearances. some 30000 people were reported missing in

the country in just the 1st 3 years of his presidency. as the number of missing persons in mexico has steadily increased over the past few decades, so has public pressure on the government to do more to end. the crisis of disappeared and not long experts say the problem of disappearances in mexico is made worse by a culture of impunity. where few cases of missing persons or ever invest and even fewer are solved the insolent government. why are you doing this to us? we didn't off to be victims, do something so we can know what happened to our children. i'm begging you. the, the backgrounds of missing persons are diverse. some of them, victims of cartel violence, others or migrants like adults. a lot of them on roy who went missing just over a month ago. his family says the search has been exhausting. they say that missing migrants are often ignored by authorities. that

aggressive. pandemic locked downs, haven't just imprisoned. many residents of the world's most populous country in their homes. they've also dramatically slowed commerce across the global supply chain. we haven't really seen a true inside of that yet. so i think it would be best whether right now what's going on and where we're headed locally. official economic. although chinese ports are still working only about 20 percent of the trucking capacity in the economic powerhouse of shanghai is operating. that's meant raw materials and components for finished products are not getting to the ports for export to the u. s. and elsewhere, the entire supply chain has been constrained and limited. so there's very, there's limited movement at every stage of the supply chain, which is relatively unprecedented to have kind of this full stop

of moving in small town northwest arkansas. hundreds of transportation experts have gathered to speed up the pace of trade at a conference on the future of the supply chain. the people here there's no, there's nothing they can do about locked downs in china or shortages due to the war and ukraine. they are here to decide how they can respond to it in minimize the damage. some chinese factories are expected to shut down when their current supplies run out. experts predict that will contribute to a truck in crisis in the us shippers expect overall demand to fall by 23 percent. for last year, amazon launched its freight subsidiary in 2020. just as a pandemic hit, and after 2 rough years, the company's small business leader says the future remains just as uncertain. john main arcane used to say that the only true future is at all, all of us are going to invested. so if you're asking me about forecasting,
