the sharpest u. s interest rate rise since 1994. the federal reserve steps in to try to curb rising inflation. ah, i learned taylor, this is al jazeera live from london, also coming up the cost of living sores, driven by the rising price of petrol. president joe biden sends a letter to all companies demanding action. israel agreed to send more gas to the european union via egypt, as the block tries to reduce its reliance on russian gas and thousands rally in eastern democratic republic of congo, accusing the london government of supporting the n 23 rental group. ah

no. the u. s. federal reserve has raised interest rates by point 75 percent. the biggest increase in was 3 decades. it's hope the move was curb soaring inflation and bring down consumer prices, which are at 40 year highs. the chair of the central bank, jerome pow, described the current economic climate as extraordinarily challenging and uncertain, and indicated further hikes are likely we anticipate that ongoing rate increases will be appropriate. the pace of those changes will continue to depend on the incoming data and the evolving outlook for the economy. clearly, today's $75.00 basis point increase is an unusually large one. and i do not expect moves of this size to be common. from the perspective of to day, either of 50 basis point or a 75 basis point increase seems most likely at our next meeting. we will, however, make our decisions, meeting by meeting and will continue to communicate our thinking as clearly as we can. how does your customer has more from the federal reserve in washington dc?

this is a very aggressive move, as you were saying, this is the highest 11 time rate hike in 28 years in the us. and the goal here is to react to the alarming rate of inflation that we saw in a report just last week. now at 6.8 percent, a historic high in the us federal board chair reserve board chair jerome. how will also called these extraordinarily challenging and uncertain times for the us economy. now, he has quite the challenge ahead of him. he's trying to cool down this roaring hot economy. i've raising that interest rate to lower the amount of money that's available in this economy. but he has to do so on the board has to do so without triggering a recession. there's some fear of that happening possibly next year, even in the u. s. according to some economists, how will did not predict that. he said that he and among the boards releasing the

economic projection for the next 3 years in the us finding that by 2024 around then is when the u. s. economy may fall down to a healthier level where unemployment rate and the inflation rates are at the target levels at the federal reserve want. robert scott is a senior economist at the economic policy institute. he says the weight problems are caused by international pressures and they may not be sold by a rate increase. personally, i'm afraid this is try trying to use a cannon to, to head off a fly. and the economy really dealing with today is a consequence simply of russians invasion of the ukraine. it's resulted in restrictions on russia, oil exports, and gas exports. it's cut off the exports of grain for russia in the ukraine, and this is disrupting food and energy markets. and those are the principal causes

of arise and consumer prices that were announced in the past week or 2. this is the problem is not going. economy being driven by excessive demand is not excessively hot. wages are back to. ready beginning to slow down, the growth in wages is actually be celebrated since the 1st of the year. so it's not clear what they hope to achieve with these dramatic rate increases. it's much more about politics and economics at this point. you as president, engine oil companies to take action against soaring petrol prices saying they need to produce more petrol and diesel. jo buttons accuse major produces including exxon mobil and chevron of profiteering from the current process. white house correspondent, kimberly how kept reports. sticker shock at the pumps, as millions of americans fuel up for the summer vacation driving season. that's why president joe biden on wednesday, sent a letter to the 7 major

u. s. oil companies pressuring them to increase oil production to lower prices by didn't right. my administration is prepared to use all reasonable and appropriate federal government tools and emergency authorities to increase refinery capacity to ensure that every region of this country is appropriately supplied. currently us oil companies are refining. $1000000.00 less barrels a day compared to pre covet levels. western sanctions and russia over its invasion of ukraine means the u. s. is also not importing russian oil that's led to less supply. as americans return to work from the pandemic driving up prices, the bond administration hasn't revealed how it will increase supply. instead, it accuses the oil companies of exploit and consumers for record profits biden

hasn't ruled out a surtax on those gains. he's asked his energy secretary to hold an emergency meeting with oil producer to market. we're not against profit. it's just that when you have 225 percent increase in profit year over year in q and quarter one, when it just tells you something else is going on. the oil companies blame biden for the problem, arguing his climate change agenda. bam, on federal land drilling and the cancellation of the keystone pipeline have led to oil refining stream biden, to release oil from the strategic petroleum reserve to bring down prices. it's a tool he's already used, but it's a temporary fix is simply an attempt to play for the voters to show that politicians are doing something about a market situation in which there's actually very little that they or anybody else to do. finance letter comes one day after announcing he'll meet with the saudi king next month to encourage his kingdom to also boost production. but the white house

says the kingdom has provided no assurances. it will do so. president biden needs to contain fuel prices quickly. the longer americans face hardship, the more likely they are to vote against his democratic party in upcoming november congressional elections. kimberly held hit al jazeera, the white house, the european union assigned an energy deal with israel and egypt. the e. u is working to reduce its reliance on russian gas because of the conflict in ukraine. under the deal, israel is to send more of it, natural gas to egyptian ports for processing before sending it on to europe. and smith reports from west jerusalem. israel sits on about 0 point one percent of global gas reserves, not much, but the european union is looking everywhere it can to reduce its reliance on russian gas. so egypt already taking in 26 percent of israel's gas production will

start liquefying more at its 2 mediterranean plants. it'll trim just a few percent of the 40 percent of gas, the e u bies from russia. but if it's a quick fix, it's not going to store the whole thing. i mean, if you look at the stack up in the system on, it's fairly in digits i, it's something like 678 percent of what we are receiving. it's, it is a small step, but we need other steps. we didn't know exploration initial more infrastructure could be bit. israel had frozen gas exploration as it tried to meet renewable energy targets. but the search for alternatives to russian fuel. as off of these railey government to lucrative an opportunity to turn down, the e. u is also committed to moving away from fossil fuels. at the signing ceremony in cairo, the e u commission president suggested there was long term interest in partnering with countries to its south and east. it is for us,

very important also to look forward into the new forms of energy. and these are, of course, the renewable energies. and here i must say you are in a very lucky position. as you have the resources that are necessary for renewable energy in abundance, the sun, the wind. so these will be the energies of the future and the demand will be enormous. israel gas is sent to cairo through the arab gas pipeline. it was designed to pump gas the other way from egypt to jordan, syria, and lebanon. but egypt uses its own gas. now the domestic needs, egypt wants to become a regional hub for the gas trade. and israel can help that happen. but it'll be a couple of years before your opinion start using significant amounts of israeli gas as there are challenges and increasing production capacity to cope with the new

demand. bernard smith, algebra western, ah, can years president has called for the immediate deployment of a regional force to stabilize the eastern democratic republic of congo area seen a series of attacks by the rebel group m 23 said to thousands of companies rallying against neighboring rwanda and its president polka gummy, who they say is behind the violence. how can web has more people in the city of gamer, angry president who could gummy neighboring when they say that i'd have rwandan military aggression in democratic republic of congo. we're going into her wanda, so it makes you doing with the n 23 rebels because we're tired of this ongoing situation in our country protested. and the government name one that's

trade between northern ireland and mainland britain. setting province apart from the rest of the u. k. me back reports from london. if you thought battle over breaks, it was done and dusted. think again, because authority detail and the trade deal signed 18 months ago has come back to haunt all involved with the british government plan. to unilaterally scrap the northern ireland protocol, infuriating brussels. this is illegal. that is why the commission highest, they decided to take legal action against the united kingdom for not complying if significant parts of the protocol on islands nor denial sun in the u. k. angus grows across the floor of parliament over the government's apparent disregard of international law. c, i'm know, a threat of a trade war with our unity and friends. took it by a law breaking prime minister. he talks about a trade rule. he talks about,

a going where the u. k. government argues the problems arising from the protocol justify scrapping the plan. the youth firmly disagrees challenging the u. k for failing to implement checks on goods entering northern ireland. failing to share trade data with the e u and failing to establish inspection post supports the case could go all the way up to the european court of justice with the u. k. possibly facing a hefty fine. and if the british government's proposed bill becomes law, the you could pull several retaliatory leavers such as ending tariff free trade going in both directions. suspending fishing, right, or even ending 90 day visa, free travel for brit heading to the u. the u. k. yet it's european neighbors, all righty at odds after the european court of human rights intervene to stop britain deporting migrants to wander, leading to calls from some british m piece to ditch the human rights convention altogether. the e u says the doors open for dialogue without it,
