kimberly how can is pulling events for us from washington dc. hi there. kimberly. so this global train does now a reality in the u. s. to what, what the people want from a government. what they want is to see the price of things that they buy every day to come down. but that has not been the case. what we're seeing across the board is very high prices for ordinary consumer goods. things like rent and. 2 groceries, in fact, in new york city, for example, the median price of a rental apartment is now $4000.00 a month. that is astronomical. it's what you'd expect to pay for a mortgage, a monthly mortgage, and in terms of a monthly mortgage, the interest rates are climbing, driving. many americans simply out of the prospect of buying a home. and when it comes to groceries, many americans simply are no longer able to buy the things they once were. and that is leading to some sort of parallel economy and even a spike in crime as americans are often stealing the things they can't afford. now

the u. s president was speaking about this in los angeles, defending his policies, saying that this was well, he once said, it was transitory. this may be around for longer than he anticipated. he blamed what he calls the putin price hike, not mentioning that a lot of these rising energy prices have a lot to do with the fact that there are western sanctions in place that have driven up a lot of these energy prices instead. well, u. s. president said was that he understands americans pain and he said, be patient. i understand americans are anxious. ranks is a good reason. i was raised in the household when the price of gasoline rose precipitously. there was a discussion at the table made a difference, and food prices were never seen. and then like punch tracks are both food and gas. america should also understand our economy has unique strengths that we can build on the job market is a stronger suspensions. world war 2,

notwithstanding inflation. now the president mentioned a few of the things that he's done to blind to what he calls putin's price, high conclude actions to reduce the cost of energy and gasoline re releasing the strategic petroleum reserve. but experts say that that is a short term, not a long term solution. he also says he's working with european countries in order to try and release some of the grain trapped in ukraine as a result of the russian invasion of ukraine in order to a really lower those food costs. but again, what we're expecting to see are, are increases in not only inflation, but also in the interest rates in order to combat inflation. in other words, it's going to be difficult for americans and globally, for some time to come. can be how can they live from washington dc? kimberly thank keith. china's defense minister way fingers says that beijing will

to people to leave haiti. but he said because of that, extreme unrest there with a criminal gangs killing and molesting people every single day. so a really graphic illustration ah, and, and plea from the haitian prime minister up for more action. now this declaration is going to be called the los angeles declaration and it has 3 parts. essentially one is a basically burden sharing a central and south american countries will streamline the ways in which they admit migrants temporarily up streamlined their path to get um, resettlement. and the u. s. is going to fund that with a total of $339000000.00 are not $1000000000.00 tube global and regional lending institutions. the secondly, the countries agree to absorb higher numbers of refugees and the temporary workers . for example, the mexican of government agrees to plug in into great 20000

refugees into its workforce over the next several years. the u. s. also agree to accept and resettle 20000 refugees in the next fiscal year. got to say those numbers are like a drop in the bucket, given the vast, vast numbers of people on the move of from cuba to g, lay to of venezuela, to, to haiti all across that the hemisphere. so the 3rd leg of this, the, that present biden will, will announce is that the u. s. is going to try to improve the way it handles that streamline the process of getting refugees and migrants into the u. s. if they qualify at the borders and all to mount and multilateral law enforcement strike force sting operation, they call it in order to disrupt human trafficking organizations. so this is not

going to resolve the problem of migration. the causes are too deep and the numbers are too large, and the forces are just very strong, but it's probably better than nothing. and given the controversies that the summit has experienced, it might be even better than many people expected a brand of their live police formerly abroad. thank you. to 0 media network continues to demand a rapid, independent, and transparent investigation into the killing of its journalist and the occupied west bank. showing the plague was shot in the head by israeli forces while she was on assignment in june in on the day of her funeral. is really for storm the procession has started beating more causing poll. there is to withdraw. her casket didn't stop thousands of palestinians from marching through occupied east jerusalem to take part in her funeral and burial. members of the international community have condemned her killing and continue to call for an investigation. blackly was with
