across the well and you take, it will please amuse and current affairs that matter. to you on the deserted streets of bo, gotta, they've become familiar figures couriers on bicycles, delivering food, or medicine to lockdown colombians. most of them here are venezuelan migrants. but a, my go miss a mother of for says contagion is always on her mind. none of them receive health insurance for their work and exposing themselves in very few seem to have it yet. there may be a bright side people who look down on them as own skilled migrants. now say they're essential to control the virus. and i received messages on the apps saying that we are heroes. i was a nurse back. cool. what i'm doing is not all that different from my passion, helping others ah,
12:01 pm
a show of solidarity the leaders of france, germany and italy are in key for talks with ukraine's president voting music linsey . ah, they're watching al jazeera live from doha with me for the back. people also coming up a general strike into nysha to oppose the president's economic policies will have a live update from tunis. police in brazil say they found the remains of an indigenous researcher and a british journalist who went missing in the amazon 10 days ago. and the biggest interest rate hikes since 1994. the u. s. federal reserve targets record high inflation. thank you for joining as the leaders of germany, france and italy have arrived in ukraine's capital. keith. it's the 1st time olaf shoals emanuel macro and mario draggy. i've made the trip since the russian
12:02 pm
invasion. they're expected to discuss a wide range of issues with present, voted means lensky, including more assistance for ukraine and it's candidacy for e u membership. and he says the due deal of in and i'm bringing a message of european unity addressed to ukrainians of support. i support for both the present and the future because the weeks ahead we know will be very difficult. but to chance stratford in keith charlie within and looking at life pictures of these 3 leaders meeting various her officials in ukraine there. what can we expect from this visit today? or we understand is going to be a lot on the table obviously. and the war is going to feature heavily in these discussions, or is going to be discussion of potential more weaponry supplied. and as you mentioned, ukraine's e u candidacy status,
12:03 pm
the 3 leaders. we have seen pictures of them now visiting the area of air pin, which saw some of the heaviest fighting in the initial stages of this war outside of ukraine, outside of kiff. sorry, the focus of these discussions, as i say, comes at a time when both germany and france have come under criticism from ukraine and some of the eastern european nato countries for em. basically not doing enough. since this was started, germany coming under criticism for foot, dragging in the delivery and supply of heavy weaponry to ukraine. we understand that for example, and they're all anti tank. and so anti aircraft tanks and the delivery of those were greenlighted by schultz. our understanding is that they have not been delivered yet. there is also an agreement that has been made by german up german private weapons manufacturers to offer nato states in eastern europe
12:04 pm
decommissioned german weaponry so that those eastern european states can then offer ukraine. soviet made weaponry that ukrainians will not need training on. and that potentially could in schultz is mind or the, the german chancellor is my not potentially spark any kind of wider conflict with rush now the ukrainians say that, you know, they need weapons. all types of heavy artillery and surveillance weapons anti aircraft, anti tank weapons as quickly as possible because of this surge are being attempted by russians in the east. also, france is come under big criticism as well by the ukrainians. especially emmanuel mac runs comments quite recently where he does said, he said that say he didn't want russia to be humiliated. and this was taken very badly by the ukrainians macaroni came back and said, well, the reason i used that kind of language is because we are looking at some potential
12:05 pm
eventual diplomatic solution. but he also said that term, obviously the french and the europeans in general, wanted victory for ukraine, and they wanted victory ukraine with all ukraine's territorial integrity returned. so as i say, it can be very interesting to see what kind of emphasis there is put on these 2 are these 2 topics that have both been criticized heavily by great and also, as you mentioned, ukraine's potential candidacy status for eventual e. u. membership. again, france and germany have been criticized by some for being perceived to be reluctance to get this process started along with countries in the european union like the netherlands. and we understand that president macro allan has a plan for putting forward something that he calls the european political community . something that would run alongside and include ukraine run alongside ukraine's,
12:06 pm
the long process that it takes to get ukraine european union membership. so there's a lot to discuss most with respect to the war and with respect to potentially, you know, ukraine's relationship with europe. right. indeed in land to discuss as we watch these at really just again, i meet with the officials there in her pin. as you mentioned, her pin just outside of the ukrainian capital key, which was the scene of an intense fighting. and the timing of this visit charlie air is, is very significant given what we're seeing in east and ukraine. right. 9, especially in severe don't ask that's right, and the focus of most of the fighting of the east at the moment is around this town of several than it's one of 2 towns in the lou ganske region that russia does not fully control. we understand, according to reports that there could be thousands of civilians still inside that city. what's important to recognize is that we cannot verify in any way how many of
12:07 pm
those civilians actually wants to leave that city. as we've seen in fighting across the east, there are many ukrainians there that identify with russia that are reluctant to leave that area. perhaps most worrying, though are reports of hundreds of civilians that are sheltering under a giant great soviet built chemical plant. in that city. we understand that russia has made an offer to try and organize some sort of safe passage for those civilians to russia. but there has been no response from ukraine. one can only predict what kind of response ukraine what would would give to that idea. and what's important to recognize as we've been reporting, is that the, for bridges that connects several than it sc with the town of lucy chance across a river to the south. they've all been blown up. so lot of ukrainian soldiers inside subverted ex potentially trapped and a lot of civilians are still there. just coming back to the visit from the 3
12:08 pm
e u leaders. charlie, as we continue to watch them here, you've told us about some of the criticism. some of them have faced up from the ukrainian leadership from the ukrainian government, accusing them of not a providing enough support. what sort of message can we expect them to bring to the ukranian leader today? what would be satisfactory for vladimir is lensky was in the message that they are going to bring is, as it micron has already mentioned, is one of, of unity with ukraine. but it remains to be seen exactly what can be offered. it's important to also understand that both germany and france, i'm major players and major donors to what the europeans have already given her in terms of weaponry, which amounts to around 2000000000 euros worse. but sir,
12:09 pm
how long is a piece of string laudermill zalinski pretty much every day, or certainly ukrainian officials every day or calling for more heavy, more, more artillery, more weaponry, to, to push back this onslaught. but it seems to be happening in the east. so it remains to be seen exactly what kind of weapons they are going to agree to say. and i think it's highly unlikely that we will get a clear statement as to the type of weaponry from micron and, and schultz are but sir, yeah, that there are concerns here amongst ukrainians. that there is some sort of concession re movement that may be being put together and being led by france and germany, trying to basically offer potentially for example, ukraine, a closer relationship with europe. if indeed it was to agree to some sort of territorial concession to the russians in order to bring peace and,
12:10 pm
and some sort of diplomatic solution to this war. now we can't verify that, but that's what a lot of ukrainians are saying here. and what a lot of political analysts are looking at to. so it's going to be a very interesting day ahead indeed, and we will keep up with on the latest developments with you charlie chance sponsored my for, i say in keys. and ukraine is also top of the agenda on the final day of a nato defense ministers meeting in brussels. as he arrived at the tank, c u. s. defense secretary lloyd austin. thank nato, chief, the insult him very for his leadership and express his support for sweden and finland applications to join the alliance. as we see countries like finland and sweden make a historic decision to apply for a middle meet membership. that's very encouraging. we welcome that, you know, these are a strong democracies who have values that are very much alive with our values and very capable countries. and so we hope that that things
12:11 pm

12:12 pm
a moment. yes. it's the kind of a crisis. and what we're seeing today is a public to lower case you duty officer workers within the public sector within administration, and right across all public sector, including aviation. so there are no international flights today, or the port suppliers. they are no buses, no sports. so they're, they're really kind of making a very big statement because what's happening in parallel is that president high side is doggedly pushing ahead with his constitutional reform project. and people generally getting actually quite sick because it's an abstract listen, as opposed to looking to my little solution. you. oh, that seems to me you have those that are you talk to the i a mass get picked down the lane. there's no real kind of prospect to serious investment having into
12:13 pm
taneesha. oh, any kind of rush for this never ending economic times trying to see fuel prices go, food wise is going up. the cost of living is just trying to make all the info and people who are living in the day to day. a really, really struggling with what we're seeing is like a real angry shut you from people here in the jobs to life. a lot of pressure now it's needed to be a little shy. but in the current situation here, the social is a. i was growing. it's a mixture of despondency, despair, people feel whitehouse. so this is actually a very important to kind of social home people power. so help with today is actually very healthy, is not language grade students,

12:25 pm
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 increase in the target range. so far this year, the only potential ray of light 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 and insurance among other things. but the fed hopes that are also damping 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,
12:26 pm
housing, and transportation. we are highly attentive to the risks, high inflation poses to bite. 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 and stretches gallon milk of mom. we don't know the 6 bucks every 2 days that go to the mill 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 attend demik. this is been a rough time and then with the, you know, the recent with the ukrainian 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
12:27 pm
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 and 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, and that's little comfort to the louis family, which regularly plays a board game called the game of life in which players get into debt, take out insurance, make investments, spine property, and so on. but they have little or no control over the real game of life being
12:28 pm
played out beyond these walls. one off ramp and inflation and rising interest rates in which the consumer is always the loser. mike hannah al jazeera washington as early as new government is committed to more ambitious climate change targets. it's pleasure. 43 percent reduction in greenhouse gases by the end of the decade. oh, filling one of the prime ministers election promises to die, australia turns the climate corner for years. the striving government told the world that it was all too hard, told a strident that it was too hot. told the world that australia was an up to it. and was an up for while the alban aisy government to die since a very different message. we sent a message to the work is in traditional industries in traditional energy that will provide the framework for the jobs. the future, as we did yesterday in gladstone, will provide the policy for manufacturing jobs powered by clean renewable energy. our indigo dying is an ancient tradition in the northern nigerian city of connell,
