it's the 1st time olaf shows emmanuel michael and mario drunky have made the trip since the russian invasion. they're expected to discuss a wide range of issues with present vitamins lensky, including more assistance for ukraine and it's candidacy for e u membership. and we certainly do been a little i'm bringing a message of european unity addressed to criminals of support support for both the present and the future. because the weeks ahead we know will be very difficult of. ringback life to i'll to zera's charles strapped friends in keys. so charlie, tell us what we can expect from this visit to keep by this. really this we are, these ceiling has been described as europe's real political heavyweights, as you say, the 1st time that they have visited ukraine since russia's invasion on february,
11:03 am
the 24th, and a range of topics expected to be discussed. i think it's important to mention the fact that, especially germany and france have come under criticism by ukraine and certainly eastern european nato members in recent months for what they say has certainly with respect to germany beam, what they describe is foot dragging. for example, on the supply of german weapons are reluctance by the german chancellor, all of shots to get heavy weapons to ukraine. we know that certainly, according to our understanding that has been a delivery of anti aircraft tanks, german anti aircraft tanks. but we understand that a plan basically for germany to supply eastern european nato members with relatively new german kit. so those european, eastern european countries can supply ukraine with old soviets and heavy weaponry, something that the ukrainians are able to work with. we understand that that plan
11:04 am
has not actually been implemented yet, so the germans have been criticized for foot, dragging on weaponry. the french, especially emmanuel macaroni, of course, has been criticized for some of the language he's been using in recent months as well. he last months made a statement saying that russia should not be humiliated if indeed there was going to be some sort of potential eventual diplomatic settlement to this crisis. the lease a palace came out saying that sam, that state was, may very much in the context of, you know, looking forward to some sort of peaceful solution. and the france was going to be making no concessions towards rusher, and it saw it supported a potential victory wanted victory for ukraine and all kinds of territory, all the territory that russia has taken control of returned to ukraine. so as i say, there have been mixed messages both from the germans and the french in the build up
11:05 am
to these talks. we also know that they're going to be talking about the ukranian, e. you can to see candidacy status, something that is expected to be discussed at length and an e u summit a later on this months. oh, germany and france have also been accused of being reluctant to grant ukraine that candidacy status along with countries like the netherlands and denmark. and we've heard plans rather ambiguous language from, from the, from the french president saying that basically they should be some form of other system. what he describes is sir european political community that ukraine can be a member of as this candidacy status goes forward. because of course, full membership for ukraine would take years. so we're going to be very interesting to see what comes out of this discussions in the context of, as i say,
11:06 am
certainly germany and france coming under criticism from the ukraine fame and are some of the eastern european nato allies. briefly. charlie, what's the latest you're hearing about fighting in the east of ukraine and severe and, and asking pretty yeah. heavy fighting still continuing in that eastern city of the severity net, sca ongoing reports of what sir we understand could be thousands of civilians still inside that city. now we can't verify whether in fact, many of these civilians wants to leave early or whether in fact they are trapped. there are big concerns about what is being described as hundreds of civilians including women and children. that a sheltering and bunkers underneath that as well as ult, sorry, yes, adult chemical plant, and that's a huge, great soviet built chemical plot inside silver donates. we know that the russians have offered some sort of safe passage for civilians out of severity than exc

11:17 am
climates, extreme climate phenomena, and the climate change inequalities. even the pandemic, everything conspires to make the situation very difficult for people in certain countries. and their only option is to flee. and the, this is why we've seen this figure grow year after year and reach now more than a 100000000 people. the still almost 6000000 syrian refugees in the middle east. i've just come back from bangladesh. we're in a tiny and very fragile area of the country. 1000000 refugees from member of the ro hinge a community have been living for the past few years and the list is very, very long. so the size, the complexity, the difficulty of finding solutions, all of this illustrates the, the,

the nature of the problem we're dealing with. in other words, new z, u. s. federal reserve has increase interest rates to the highest level in nearly 30 years. the move is aimed at rain again for inflation. it's the 3rd hike since march . and as my kind of reports from washington it as to the uncertainty facing the economy. the announcement was expected, but no less shocking. at today's meeting, the committee raised the target range for the federal funds rate by 3 quarters of a percentage point resulting in a one and a half percentage point increasing the target range so far this year. the only potential rail flight and unemployment rate near a 50 year low with job vacancies at historical highs and wage growth elevated. but this is offset by soaring inflation, which the rates hike is intended to curb. prices across the board increased by nearly 9 percent last month alone. as inflation reached a level not seen in decades. the interest type will increase the price of mortgages
11:19 am
and insurance among other things. but the fed hopes that will also damp and consumer spending, which in turn should reduce inflation. my colleagues and i are acutely aware that high inflation imposes significant hardship, especially on those least able to meet the higher costs of essentials, like food, housing, and transportation. we are highly attentive to the risks high inflation poses to buy so both sides of our mandate and were strongly committed to returning inflation to our 2 percent objective. and that would be welcomed by a suffering public y'all. i have got to slow it down. it stretches, gallon and mill of mom, we don't know the $6.00 every 2 days that go to say what the mil for chelsea lewis and her family inflation is not an abstract statistic. it's an every day burden that determines whether there's food on the table or whether she can drive the twin high school kids to track meets the surgeon. prices is particularly hard on people still recovering from the economic ravages of

a tend to make. this is been a rough time and then with the, you know, the recent with the ukranian situation and then the gas was the shooting up. it's just like this world is, is, is certainly even more rough for the ones who were already struggling to keep their head above water. so it's kind of like now i can speak for myself. you kind of feel like you're drowning in a sense. chelsea is holding down several jobs while studying for a degree, but she couldn't cope without a government safety net. in particular, a housing subsidy known as section 8, food stamps, about $800.00 a month. my daughter who you just met. she's on social security. that's how we're managing. but the good blessing is before we moved to georgia, after 60 years of being on the section a housing voucher program, i made it to the top of up to the fits announcement, the white house, which continues to play much of the gloomy economic outlook on russian president vladimir putin section in ukraine, said it was doing everything to steady growth,
11:21 am
