the problem bridge will not only significantly reduce the shadow price, but is expected to initially economic boom from around the world. this one here depicts the late poets was offered and know up who was revolutionary poems in his play of the many ah, this is al jazeera. ah, you're watching the news, our life from a headquarters in del hein, daddy and abigail coming up in the next 60 minutes. ukraine's allies meet in switzerland to lay out plans to rebuild the country at an estimated $750000000000.00. finland and sweden begin the process of joining the nato military alliance. after decades of neutrality,

sir lancaster prime minister presents away out of it's economic crisis, but one's inflation could hit 60 percent by the end of the year. it's really beginning to reflect in terms of every single family in terms of the food that can put on the table and people are beginning to struggle and the summer of discontent . why you can expect more air travel chaos. and as for novak job coverage is on court right now aiming to reason wimbledon semifinals back. more controversy for straight impair nick carrie alsa who's been charged with assaulting a former girlfriend whose welcome to the news our other ukrainian cities of sla yonce gun chrome. tourists have come under russian shelling according to the regions governor. it's off, the russian president vladimir putin urged his forces to push on with their offensive and eastern ukraine. on sunday, his troops to control of las

a chance. the city was the focus of weeks of fierce fighting and his residence emerged. the scale of destruction is becoming clear. the ukrainian president has vowed to retake all area seized by russia, but it won't be an easy task. moscow now claims control of the whole of the loo hands, the region and troops are stepping up attacks and neighboring done yet. so representatives from 40 countries and international organizations have agreed on the priorities for the reconstruction of ukraine once the war is over. the legato principles named after the swiss ton where they've been meeting include making progress on the rule of law, fighting corruption and sustainability. ukraine's prime minister has put the cost of rebuilding the country a $3.00 quarters of a trillion dollars. allen fisher has more from air pin just outside cheve. when you talk about $750000000000.00, it sounds like a lot. and the reason for that is,

it is a lot that what does it mean? while obviously you're talking about rebuilding infrastructure that have been damaged, such as bridges, roads of water supply. all of those need to be rebuilt. but on the most basic level had been rebuilding something like this. though this is a house where a woman called natalia lived with her 3 children and her husband and it was hit in the early days of the war by russian missile. now you can see it has been destroyed . there is nothing here that was worth saving. everything that they had completely gone, the roof has been replaced with just plastic, but as to protect more of the building below. but if you walk through, you can just see how badly damage there says no when you talk about billions of dollars to rebuild. you've also got to remember that in the early days of the war, somewhere in the region of 6000000000 people left the country, there are 8000000 internally displaced people, which means they had to leave their homes. because in a lot of instances, the homes were left like this. and so the government is determined that they will

rebuild these homes so that when people return, they will be able also to rebuild their lives. and that is going to take a lot of money. that is why let me use a lensky and the ukranian government are asking international donors to put as much money towards that as they can here. they've started to do a bit of the rebuilding. but you can see why if you just look over at the building across the way, you can see that the roof has been damaged. they're just over to farther to the left. you can see the burn marks that have been left on another building and they're looking at that rift to day to see what they can do to possibly possibly get some people back in, in the lower floors. the top floor like this place that belonged to natalia is simply uninhabitable. so when is natalia at the moment? she's living in a real way car along with 30 other families. it's very small. it's very basic. but for the moment, that's enough, and she is our g. the international community. when they think about the big bell for rebuilding ukraine. yes, the think about the infrastructure, the roads,

the bridge is the things that everyone needs to get around. but also to think of her and our 2 small girls, twins, h 4 who live in a place like this and for the moment, have nowhere to go. finland and sweden had begun the process of joining nato. therefore, a minister is attended a signing ceremony with other members of the alliance in brussels. the nordic countries have been neutral for decades, but pushed from membership. after russia invaded ukraine. nato leaders made the decision to fast track the process at their summit in madrid. last week, this is an historic day for fillum, for sweden, for nathan, on for you to atlantic security. filling on sweden will make strong, unimportant contributions to our alliance. our forces are interoperable they have trained, exercised and serve together for many years. we share the same values

and we faced the same challenges in the baltic sea. and the old world challenge has more from london, sweden and finland for so long, neutral, poised to join the head and overland to treat the organization and basically to become full members. all of the, the parties are speaking, this press conference were appraising. this was saying that it was necessary that it was a response really to the russian invasion of ukraine, that this had ended peace in europe and that the accession request of finland. and sweden was basically a response to russia's actions that because of the long history of working together, sweden and finland would floss and pretty well into the nato framework. they've

trained together many times before, despite being technically neutral and therefore they would be a good fit. they would enhance the security of both the countries themselves in sweden, but also they would benefit the nato alliance. let's speak to eric lindberg. he's the deputy director general for political affairs at the ministry of foreign affairs of finland. he's joining us from helsinki. welcome to al jazeera serv. so no doubt, this is a historic moment for finland. tell us, tell us what it means for the country. thank you. this is a really important step versus, was noted by the previous speakers. as a consequence of the change, so dramatically change security situation in finland. and in the northern europe, there was a decision made by the government in corporation between the president and parliament and the government to apply for nato membership. and this has also strong popular

support. and it is a consequence of. busy assessment of the security situation from our perspective, but let me connect to speakers before who said that treatment has been neutral before. busy it's not the case, we have been militarily on the line, but we have been a member of the european union tonight since 995. and of course also monogamously reacted with the european union to the aggression made by russia. alright. are you worried, however, that there could be challenges along the way as this ratification process goes forward? because after all, as, as you're very well aware, you need the unanimous ratification from the alliances. 30 members, well, we've long the, the spring, the, the leaders of the government and also at the other levels. we've had several talks with nature member countries. and we've been very encouraged by the positive support that we have received for finance and sweden. so alignment with nato

and as stated by previous because we are already inter operable and we see we meet the defense and military membership criteria alliance. turkey had been blocking this membership and recently turkey said that it may not ratify membership for both finland and sweden. if those countries don't fulfill their promises to combat with turkey seeds as terrorism and extradite suspects under a memorandum of understanding, reach that, that somebody didn't madrid last week. and let me just quote you what the foreign minister of turkey had to say. he said they have to comply with this document. if they don't that we won't allow them to join nato. how prepared is fin then to see through turkeys demand? well i think we've, you said we've sundays trilateral agreement whereby turkey has also agreed that treatment and sweden should. busy be able to join the alliance so i think.

busy that is a very good starting point. busy well let's see what happens along the route. busy comment that was made recently by the turkish foreign minister. so again, it's finland willing to see through these demands put forward by turkey. well, we have of course signed up to do the trailer through agreements and one. but i have to say though, that does not that we see mean that we would have to change any legislation all the way in which we are dealing with the issues that have been. busy busy put forward by turkey but, but of course we are committed to the implementation of this document. ok. and looking ahead to a potential future, of course, where finland is an a to member. let me ask you how that changes things around the baltic sea and finland relationship with moscow. because previously, president putin has threatened that if military contingent and infrastructure are deployed in sweden and flint, finland, then he said this, russia will have to respond in kind. does that were you?

this is, i think, reactions that we heard from moscow before. there's nothing new here. russia has been constantly opposed to, to, to the open door policy of nato, which we see a very important want to see. every country should have the right to decide on its own security and feel, and also of course, make things right for her spells. so we haven't seen any new in the relationship or comments that russia has had needs more generally so, so i don't think that there were any surprises here. how, sorry i breath. after all, you do share a 1300 kilometer border with russia. well we, i think for bad, for, for this period of both when it goes to different kinds of the maybe hybrid trades or whatever kind of threats we would face treatment as a, as

a strong defense. and we also have a strong recipients because we apply a. busy comprehensive security concept, which means that all the different parts of society, including the private sector, working together to, to improve our resilience and crisis preparedness. so we're pretty confident that we feel pretty safe. we've also had the extensive talks when, when partner countries, some of our main partners, the u. s. u. k, france and germany and other partners who have said that they are ready to support us during this period by joining nato. what does this, so what sorts of changes does this mean for your military? well, that was said earlier, it really doesn't mean that much of a change. we've been working together with nato strategic partners for the last 30 years. and we have a long standing problematic partnership we've been practicing with. we have had the

operations to get with nato and internationally. he's keeping operations or to begin crisis management operations rather in countries like i'm going to stop here and it will be now. so we feel that. busy we are quite ready for this partnership for taking it to the next level and becoming full members. right. and how will, what will you bring to, to nato after if this process, of course, is seen through how does your joining nato contribute to the alliance's collective defense? well, simon, fees, security provider, and we have always taken our own defense very seriously. so this means that we have built a strong defense which is based partly on a conscript to our me. about $222.00,

a dozen young women and men join the army every year and get train complete their military service. and we have very high willingness to finish people to contribute to defend our country, to contribute to the security all over 80 percent of our. busy people are ready to do. busy that's mon highest in europe and we have. busy developed this comprehensive security model that i said, talked about earlier, where different parts of our society for a long time to get to increase our receipt and send our crisis to been working on issues such as cybersecurity and trends. all right, so, and then of course, finally, just to say that we are also in the process of acquiring some strong military equipment that will strengthen us for like 355 to 64 of them and some naval ships. so i think we will bring this to the table and also the fact that the

democrat, the country that can contribute to the values of democracy, freedom and b, s. thank you so much, eric loan burke for joining us from helsinki. thanks for your time. thank you. the impact of the war in ukraine is being felt worldwide, as it continues to drive up the cost of oil and food through lank as prime minister as warning. inflation will reach 60 percent by the end of the year, but he's hoping a deal with the international monetary fund and foreign investment will help relieve some of the pressure. he told al jazeera of his plans to turn the situation around. we are already working on stimulation economy until i step below the economy of thought for you, but to going for the recovery. so that, look, you've done the way i've been talking to some of the country to india, china, japan, you, if you're k, you on the if needed for 3 lanka,

but mainly the discussion with world bang and i, you, well has government has also implemented daily nationwide power cuts as it tries to conserve dwindling fuel supplies. last week, fuel cells were restricted to essential services. schools are also staying close for an extra week because there is not enough petrol to get children and staff to class. when l fernandez is out a petrol station in colombo, where many people have been queuing their for day, the situation is absolutely dire now in shalanda, as you can see behind me, the cues are basically at one of the few fuel sheds that are receiving supplies. it's one run by an indian company, whereas the state petroleum fuel shed are not receiving any stocks for a long time. so that is an absolute desperation in every single shed that has supplies. if it does show you are and you look over my shoulder, far down are literally down the hill. and as far as the i can see, you have

a centrally this q. it's 3 con current lines. motorbike cars and 3 real attacks is now for people at this is about them finding their day to day income for many of them. and they have seen that they spend entire days and sometimes like for the taxes or, you know, one days worth of fuel. just give them a couple of hours worked and then they're back again for goodness knows how long. so people are desperate. they're angry. and it's really beginning to reflect in terms of every single family in terms of the food that can put on the table. and people are beginning to struggle. inflation is also surging and turkey, the annual rate rose to almost 80 percent in june. that's the highest and 24 years . the government has raised the minimum wage for the 2nd time in 6 months, but hey, is still falling behind prices, residential tire,

bridge up early ones. economic policies have been blamed for increases. irwin has pushed the central bank to keep interest rates at 14 percent. seneca smuggler has more from his stumble turkeys inflation rate has hit record high levels of this is the most common held line that you see on them is about turkey. in the last one and a half years nickels, according to official figures, annual inflation rate is about 70 percent. but according to independent organization, panel, inflation is above 150 per cent in turkey. this means any of these wages above that are commonly used in the turkish kitchen, especially in summer, are more and more expensive for the turkish citizen. this year. how she took fall. everything is so expensive. you can buy nothing. you can't go on holiday. it's not enough, you just said i'm of the last year of fuel was 8 years now. it's 29 years. the rise in wages do not meet the gap caused by the price cycle to boost the purchasing power. all the citizens,

turkish government increased minimum wage salaries by 50 percent at the beginning of this year. and they just gave a 30 percent increase last week. but according to experts at the, at these efforts are not enough to fight against inflation, which is actually caused by, in low interest rates. turkish government, especially the turkish president, ardon believes that the high interest rates are the reason for inflation. that's why they are keeping the interest rates low at 14 percent, but eventually the experts warn they will need to increase the interest rate. otherwise, this inflation will be uncontrollable. a public sector strike in lebanon is now in its 4th week. cargo handling at ports has been disrupted, that could lead to food shortages for people already struggling because of the country's economic collapse. zenato that reports from beirut. hundreds of containers of food and other commodities are stuck at lebanon's ports. there are no workers to unload them. it's been 3 weeks since employees and public institutions

went on strike to demand better pay as a financial crisis enters its force here. the strike has really paralyzed our work affected all our transactions in the port of the route and the airport. a lot of cargo containers are waiting for the employees. we need every bit of income. we need every bit of import and without the employees of the government that will stagnate the economy. the state is nearly bankrupt and it's losing an estimated $400000.00 a day because of the strike. it's also creating problems for citizens who are unable to do necessary paperwork. but state employees like much of the population, say their salaries are now worthless after the local currency, the lira crushed lam, y'all. we can no longer reach our place of work because of high transportation costs. we can't afford the basic necessities. our salaries are worth $50.00 to

$60.00. actually, the government has not dealt with this issue in a serious manner. even though more than a 1000000 people are affected. there is no official figure, but it's the leave, the lebanese state employee nearly 350000 people. but international financial institutions say it is overstaffed corrupt and used by the political class as a tool to win loyalty. and either the, it's very large for the size of the country. it constitutes 25 percent of the workforce. but any dismissal will lead to a social catastrophe. unemployment is about 38 percent and there are no jobs in the service compensation is also worthless because of the currency valuation. for many years, public wages and benefits constituted more than 35 percent of government spending. many warned against a pay rise out a comprehensive recovery plan reforming sentence petition time fighting corruption are the only way to unlock for and support and trigger growth. but politicians are

refusing to do that. instead, they are locked in a new struggle about power in the next cabinets. employees say they won't return to work until their demands are met, but the government has little options. it doesn't have enough sources of revenue. it can't impose more taxes on an impoverished population. and it can't print more money without causing further inflation than who they are as ita, they root plenty more had on the algebra. news, our including sedans, military rulers, withdraw from talks and ending the political deadlocks. paving the way for returns is civilian rules. torrential rain, tens of thousands of people on evacuation alerts and more downpours are in for cars for eastern australia coming up in for it will tell you how, how your word got on and he played his 1st tournament for an early tomorrow. ah

brought up to standards. let's go forward to cave, down and speak to who you silly new bay who is a fin burg fellow in the environment and human rights division, not human rights watch. who put out that latest report? well, controlled 0 thanks for speaking to us. so human rights watch, as we're saying, accusing the south african government, a failure essentially, and putting communities at risk of injury and death. tell us how you reach that conclusion. yes. so what we found is that despite the fact that there are regulations in legislations in legislation in place, that regulates mining companies and the fact that they need to set aside financial provision am so that they can properly rehabilitate their main site. after they're done mining in practice, this isn't taking place. am when i visited the community of umbrella and my longer and spoke with residence. and we visited a former operation of in barella call. and that area was completely and fenced

in was completely accessible to the communities. and when i spoke with community members, they mentioned how they had tried towards the company accountable. that at the time that government issued a directive to the company, it had already disappeared. even behind damage to the value of about $3000000.00 us dollars. right. so what sorts of problems? what sorts of problems then have you seen on the grounds that this in action has created for people? when i spoke with families, i spoke to a mother who described how her son and his friend, i'm drowned in this abandoned coal mine because it had stopped operating in 2011 and subsequently filled with rain war 10. the kids in the area would usually play the and so and then unfortunately her son and his friend passed away. i also spoke with family members whose loved ones were working and informally and illegally in

those abandoned coal mines. because of how high south africa's unemployment rate, a lot of community members felt i'm compelled to work in order to get poland and saw that i also interviewed residents living in carol park. and su, bella in carolina, and these residents and had experienced an asset mind drainage crisis in 2012, which had contaminated to be a water because of fee and toxic levels of water from a d. m. d counting mine. and when i visited those residents in 2021, they described how, despite the fact that there was a judgment, i mean 2012 despite the fact that local government was supposed to ensure that the tap water was safe to drink. they considered their tap water and say they did not drink it because they are after drinking it. they found that they had stomach issues and other health elements and have to go to the clinic. and so they resorted to, going to pour water and so on. the ground and my experience at what i saw was and

how communities and faced risks to life and the water degradation in the area and running environmental degree. you also, you also, i mean this report in fact by human rights watch, lays blame on the mining companies themselves, saying that they have a responsibility to clean up the toxic mass that they've left behind. so when you put these allegations to the mining companies as well as the south african government, what sorts of responses do you go? well the response that we got from the south african government and we gave them an opportunity to respond to us before this report was published and we received no response. tal correspondence in 2021. and in this year, we also tried to get in contact with the company that's mentioned in the report in by local that was in the neighborhood and in the community of the residents we spoke with and that company no longer exists that jurisdiction entity has disappeared. i'm in the district,

i mean, how challenging has it been and why? well, thank you very yes. so those very challenging and the entire industry has a lot of prop ups. some of the problems began with co bid, shutting down air travel effectively. they've been continued not only by coded, but by the situation on the ukrainian area that caused the airlines to no longer be able to route over russia and many other places. consequently, they have to fly longer hours to get between 2 destinations that were effectively closer when they could use rush and aerospace. so that these things, coupled with a pilot shortage coupled with a controller shortage, are beginning to manifest themselves. now in the s, i s, situation, the company how do seek bankruptcy protection in the united states? because effectively they are on strike. so there are strike,

they're not flying nearly all or nearly as many flights as they would tense the income level drops. hence, the ability to pay bills, drops rates more bank, more airlines filing for bankruptcy protection and more layoffs in the industry in the coming few months at least. well, right now we really made people in the industry, particularly pilots and the united states. there's a tremendous pilot shortage because my coven head of the solution for the airlines was to offer a very nice retirement package to the older pilots who are the highest paid pilots, generally, and they are, they retired early, and the companies never hired replacements. so if go pilot shortage, we've got a fuel crisis with price is just going out of sight. we've got inflation. we need to fill those seats to get that. what we call the load factor up if the seats are,

are all filled on the airplane, the airlines aren't taking in enough revenue to be able to cover their expenses. so it's a series of problems involving labor issues involving shortages of personnel . the air traffic controllers are very affected by this. we don't have enough controllers to go around. and a lot of this, coupled with some bad weather in the u. s. has caused numerous and frequent delays where you're going to make a connecting flight that connecting flight is canceled. so it's, it's really a mess right now. i mean there is no real air and then all right, and we've all been there. just let me ask you one question, while i have you with us or something i ought to, has said that i ought to, of course, being the international air transport association, route forecasting. the global airline financial performance will recover by the end of 2022. i mean, not in a couple of months time, and i also also saying that it's will regain profitability in 2023 m d u share that

optimism. do you agree with that assessment for my assa? well, i don't know that i would agree with that timeframe. i think it's going to take a little longer than that. eventually the situation would be resolved. but there's a number of steps that have to take place to solve these issues that we've been discussing. and they all have to be resolved to completely return the industry to its former profitability. ok, we'll have to leave it there. thank you so much. keep macking for speaking to us from florida. you are very welcome a deal on the world's largest liquefied natural gas project. has just been signed in doha, cut her energy in the agreement with shell on tuesday to go ahead with the northfield east expansion. the project is worth $30000000000.00. that is set to begin in 2025 . release in the us of the chain demand in connection with the shooting during a parade. celebrating the 4th of july and chicago,
