this is the most common hub line that you see on the me is about turkey in the last one and a half here. nicholas, according to official figures, annual inflation rate is about 70 percent, but according to independent organizations, panel inflation is above 150 percent 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 shall 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 of 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. it for me to ask if the,
8:11 pm
if these efforts are not enough to fight against inflation, which is actually cause i, in low interest rates, turkish government, especially the turkish president, ardon believes that the high interest rates are the reasons for inflation. that's why they are keeping the interest rates as low as 14 percent. but eventually the experts warn they will need to increase the interest rate. otherwise, this inflation will be uncontrollable. was a different story in gonna where the central bank instigated its biggest rate hike in march to try to curb inflation there. but as in turkey and so many other countries price as a continuing to rise, i'm address reports from a cra gardens market. i wire inflation bite hardest here some goods are priced beyond the reach of many customers. this is force and shop a selection, tao to either reduce their food budget or take some items off the menu. i can buy food and because of their pride. i'm aston, please. lucy,

international communities on the goal of this, my students you can use a government has knowledge to be seen in depth analysis of the data global headlines. this is going to be very hard for people to explain to the public that instead of pushing back, no, it's actually got 2 members inside story on al jazeera. ah ah, you're watching al jazeera reminder of our top stories. this, our ukraine's prime minister has told a donors conference in switzerland that $750000000000.00 is needed to rebuild. much of the money would go on homes, but investments is needed for schools, roads,

8:20 pm
is disappointing, considering the fact that we are not aware of any of the, of the results, no process. we were not, there was no transparency. we were not given enough information regarding the investigation and we had found out about that last minute. so to us, we still continued to call for a transparent and adjust investigation. the palestine in foreign ministry also rejected the findings saying the examination was politicized and had nothing to do with the bullet. israel's entering prime minister, yellow p d tweeted that israel expressed grief about her death, my mom, and that these really army cannot determine who was responsible, but there was no intention to harm her because she's love yet. so i'm with the defense minister benny gans had this to say, mother had to be told i would like once again to express my sorrow over the death of a journalist sharina walk on the security establishment. looks at investigating the truth as a supreme value of one regard, in this case, on the spot, the laboratory,
8:21 pm

's would just go over to rory challenge in our london broadcast center. rory, both of these figures had been very loyal members of boris johnson's cabinet. now double resignation happening within minutes of each other. tell us more double
8:26 pm
resignations, a double bombshell the boroughs, johnson and his future as the prime minister of the united kingdom. i think it will be very, very difficult for him to survive. such a step from 2 key allies. basically, 1st of all, we had the announcement that the secretary of health said to java. bruce resigning . he said in his resignation, letter. conservative is the best seen of hard headed decision makers, guided by strong valleys. we may not always been popular, but we've been competence and acting in the national interest badly in the current circumstances, the public are concluding that we are now neither. the vote of confidence last month showed that a large number of our colleagues agree, it was a moment for humidity grip and a new direction. i regret to say, however, that it is clear to me that this situation will not change on your leadership. and you have therefore lost my confidence too. that is very,
8:27 pm
very wounding for us johnson, it's very personal. it is basically saying that boris johnson himself is the problem at the heart of the conservative party and such a job. aid can no longer serve as a minister following that. we then had the 2nd key resignation for him from richie su neck, the chancellor. no less. he says the public rightly expect the government to be conducted properly, competently and seriously. i recognize this may be my last ministerial job, but i believe the standard worth fighting for, and that's why i'm resigning unsigned to be leaving the government. but i have reluctantly come to the conclusion that we cannot continue like this. now the chancellor and the prime minister usually acts as a kind of double act in british politics. so for one half of the governing, double act to walk out is perhaps more wounding even than losing the health
8:28 pm
minister. there may be more resignations to come, we will have to see, but it's been a flurry of political activity in the u. k. in the space of just an hour earlier on the beginning of that we had yes, another apology for boris johnson who is acknowledging that that had been well there been bits leading statements coming out of number 10 over the last couple of days regarding a politician and n p, a conservative who is essentially the disgrace for acting inappropriately as has been, has had to resign. number 10 has been saying that it didn't know very much about previous allegations against them now, it transpired they did for us, johnson has apologize for that. but that is now kind of fading into the distance, even though it only happens a few minutes ago because of these resignations. and we'll have to see what else
8:29 pm
this afternoon this evening haven't, has install rory, boys, johnson has b. describe time and time again as being a teflon leader, somebody who's been able to duck and dive his way around. scandal office, scandal talk is through some of the, the things that he's, whether it's up to now well basically having the device reason of course is, is that a vote of confidence which he won, but not very convincingly. it all comes down to values and trust and whether boris johnson as an individual can maintain the levels of trust that are essential for the highest office in the land. and have been numerous examples where it is been proven that he hasn't been tie in those levels. of trust, of course,
8:30 pm
the party gate scandal has been perhaps the most damaging for any of our viewers who have missed out on that all who aren't aware that was essentially boris johnson's government. and those who operate within number 10, downing street, and the civil service that surrounds why whole having parties holding parties during the cove. it's 19 pandemic locked down when they were, the governments insisting that most of the country hunker down in place didn't see other people outside of their family units perhaps didn't go to funerals or their loved ones who had died. i couldn't say good bye to people who had dying and hospitals during those months that were parties going on in downing street and in offices around white whole. there were untruth told about that by
8:31 pm
members of the governments and they.
