a race against time to compete out the world i fedex championship, ferdinand on jala received his us visa just 24 hours before the 100 meter heats in oregon. ah, welcome to the news. our president joe biden says the u. s. will continue to call for full accountability in the killing of al jazeera city in a block layer. biden was speaking at a press conference with his palestinian counterpart and moved our bus. in bethlehem . the al jazeera correspondence was shot in the head by is really forces in may, while reporting on raids in the occupied westbank. it's hard wrenching is so many palestinians, railways have lost their lives just this year in the united states to suffer loss as well. and including the killing of sher rain, i blew out k r kelly. and she was an american

american citizen, and a proud palestinians. and she was performing very vital work and an independent media and vital work of democracy. her death is enormous loss to the essential work of sharing with the world, the story, the palestinian people. i hope that her legacy, her legacy will expire more young people to carry on her work and reporting the truth and telling stories that are too often overlooked. united states will continue to assist on a fall and transparent accounting of her death and will continue to stand up for media freedom everywhere in the world. let's bring in him. she's joining us from bethlehem to talk about what joe biden has to say, particularly on the calling for accountability when it comes to shooting blacklist death. and he reiterated the fact that the u. s. is still working towards if 11 transparent investigation but as palestinians you would tell

you they're not expecting that the u. s. is going to be the party that will bring them justice. we've heard over and over again, statements by the u. s. urging before that investigation to happen, but when it did happen from the u. s. a side, the language was fluid. they could then say that it was a targeted killing by the israeli forces that hit shooting. the family has issued the statement after, via the us administration has launched that investigation, saying that they are not convinced that this brings cheering and the justice. this is why many palestinian journalists who were not allowed to pause and ask any questions in the conference war. this share that says justice. fortunately, there was a picture of her in the press conference and people wanted to relay the message loud and clear. they want justice for shooting and accountability for those who

killed her and that, and as you're speaking to us, we're looking at the life picture of the us president and we had it on just a moment ago. that is a joe biden right there in that aircraft air force one he's taking off from israel's been gloria an airport and he's flying direct to jetta and saudi arabia. so we'll be covering that part of his trip as well. right here on al jazeera button . it back to you for a moment and we listen to that press conference that was held between our bass and the us president. no diplomatic breakthroughs, really. that was very much expected. some economic measures announce for the palestinians. tell us what those were. so he talked about dignity for patients when he was at the press conference in east jerusalem, meaning that he was going to, that would be your us administration is going to pledge $100000000.00 to palestinian hospitals. he also talked about pledging more money to the palestinian authority. biden said that the reverse thing is he a previous administrations decisions. and one thing he did is restoring the aide to

palestinians. but what palestinians want is re opening the air a u. s. consulate in ne, east jerusalem. they want political steps. they want the us to pressure israel to stop. it's continuing and leads and getting settlement expansion. so whether the u . s. is gonna bring palestinians, the 4th generation of internet in mobile services, or whether they're gonna open the only land board there that is allowed for palestinians to use to exit the west magnet to the outer world. these are seen as measures that the od minimal when it comes to a society in a nation that has been living under occupation for decades. okay, and that, thank you so much. that's our correspondent, that abraham reporting for us from bethlehem in the occupied west bank. what another story to emerge from his visit was when joe biden was at the augusta

victoria hospice old. that's an occupied east, jerusalem. and there he pledged an additional $100000000.00 to support palestinian healthcare services. but as he wrapped up there, he had an exchange with one of the hospital staff. listen. do you have a question about hospitals now? should you don't, i'll do it privately. i am emily can really seem in new jersey visiting policy. and i vote fully who i am. i had mir or vicky intensive care unit at the my coffee history pit. thank you'll probably will have worked but we need more justice, more dignity and thank you. thank you. thank you folks. appreciate it very, very much. thank you. and you saw the president just a few moments ago, taking off from the ben green airport. he's now heading to jed that saudi arabia on the 1st ever flight by an american leader direct from israel to saudi arabia. when he arrives, top of the agenda will be getting saudi arabia to pump more oil to bring down

global prices. biden's also expected to discuss iran and efforts to prevent her on from acquiring nuclear weapons, full part of a wider drive for greater security cooperation. bite in is expected to make the pitch to regional leaders at a gulf cooperation council meeting. and jetta on saturday. joining us here on site is our white house correspondent, kimberly, how could you been following all the whole by biting stops? kimberly, let's talk about what he plans to do in saudi arabia and how high are the stakes for biden going to this kingdom. there are enormously high the us president is under a lot of pressure because he needs deliverable for the american public. and that is to get the saudi kingdom department oil to bring down the price of fuel in the united states because they're at a record high. and americans are hurting right now because of the high inflation rate. the problem is, is that the saudi kingdom is enjoying the high price of oil right now. and there really isn't any incentive for them to bring that price down. so when we see the

president land in this is we are told about a 2 hour and 5 minute flight and historic flight. as you point out, he is going to have some work to do what we understand is that he's going to meet with a king. and that's going to be about a 30 minute meeting and then he will be meeting with the saudi chrome principal. have been solomon and then the following day he will be having a broader energy summit meeting with the gulf leaders as he continues to make that pitch. but it's going to be a challenge, given the fact that the u. s. president is coming and really offering new to for them to pump more of the supply and to bring these prices down. and kimberly, here's the thing. i mean, his diary, his desire for saudi arabia to pump more oil to relieve some of the pressure felt over in the u. s. as in sharp contrast to his previous condemnation of the saudi arabian chrome prince had been some man over the killing off the journalist, german casualty. that is exactly what the u. s. media is focused on right now.

everyone is going to be watching the interaction between the u. s. president and the savvy crime principle had been solomon because the c, i a back in the united states author report that suggested that the crown prince may have ordered the killing back in 2018 of washington post journalist shows you. and as a result, the u. s. president on the campaign trail promise to make the saudi kingdom, a pariah state. and so what this, it makes the appearance now is a back tracking on that promise of really not undermining his own foreign policy, which he said would uphold human rights. and so what this makes the appearance of is the erosion of america's moral authority. it also makes the appearance of the americas can be negotiating when it comes to human rights. and so as a result, the president is under enormous amount of pressure not only to deliver for the

american public, but also he in many ways he has embarrassed himself by backtracking on his own product. so if he doesn't go back home with any clear wins, as you describe them from the strip, how is this going to be viewed? keeping in mind that this is a president that's polling quite low right now. yeah, he's almost as low as donald trump, who bob bottomed out add about 33 percent in the approval ratings. and does we all recall donald trump was a pretty popular president. that is not good for joe biden. and the reason it's not good is because he is going into congressional sions. in november. he needs his democratic party to win control of the congress if he wants his legislative agenda for the remainder of his term, to go ahead. so he needs a when, if he doesn't get one in this trip there still time. but the bottom line is, is that very few americans are paying attention to this trip right now because they're so consumed with what we call the kitchen table issues of inflation high

fuel prices and paying for food rants and otherwise. and so as a result, not only is it a loss for the president that they're not paying attention to this, but also if he doesn't deliver anything, it's going to hurt him even more. okay, thank you so much. earth or white house correspondent, kimberly how can thank you, we'll speak to a little later on. we were telling you just a moment ago about joe biden, when he was an occupied east jerusalem at that hospital, the augusta victoria hospital. so there he had pledged an additional $100000000.00 to support palestinian health care services. and as he wrapped up there, he had an exchange with one of the hospital staff. we're just going to play it out once again. have a question about hospitals. nancy, you don't, i'll do it privately. i am american really team in new jersey visiting policy, and i vote for who i am. a head mirror with intensive care unit. my coffee was sweeping. thank. you'll probably will cover what we need more justice,

more dignity, and thank you. thank you. thank you for appreciate very, very much. thank you. so standing by anita, i brought him in bethlehem. is that nurse who had that exchange with the us president, nevada, over to you we're joined the here by if the sam, the nurse, we've just heard from talking to joe biden. can you tell us, why did you ask that question? when he specifically said, i want you to talk about hospitals because i was more heavy from his we talk about money, he talk about to humanity best. as i knew in my class, it was with al, i saw the suffering of their notes, his doctors, the patient babies, and the company who came from garza, they thought about to humanity, but in reality, i couldn't see it. when you talk about the suffering, can you explain to our audience what that means?

as a nurse, you're the head of the pad. yeah, thanks. if can only tell us what you see me, you see as many children came from gaz thus to live without mother. they came with our, with the grand mother, 78 years. they have it, they get the cobalt in chin. so as the head nurse, i have to take care of the kids and i have to take care of the company. they suffer and emotionally, the kid he wants that his mom, i open my more bide, and i you lit him to see his mom through my more white it is step heading equity. this but in the intensive care that through that one or 2 in the heart rate is high and they're based on separating the mother separating the nurses in peace. i see you're suffering. i feel no justice, no humanity. so money doesn't solve your problem. what do you want, or you want justice? i want fear that bailey's g, d n b boys to their ability and children to their doctors,

to the nurses. me actually came from bates a hold that i am from was bank every day i it pays difficulties in their chick boyd . and that many times the ambulance brained their kids to my unit without combining without parents. and they have to change the ambulance from plate yellow doors from blue to yellow. and they didn't talk about this. they said the human it dba. i kid, i couldn't see it. thank you so much shipped to san a year, but she is the hospital nurse. we've heard from talking to president by then earlier today and occupied these jerusalem. and as you hear many palestinians say that we're not looking for handouts, we're not looking for financial intensive. we're looking for an end to the israeli occupation, and it's measures and violations. thank you. so much and that abraham reporting once again from bethlehem and the occupied west bank, 20 mar, head on the edge there. and these are including italian politics and chaos. after

the prime minister tries to resign, the president tells him to stay at his post. donations for drones, we look at the role of crowdfunding is playing in ukraine's war effort. and nigeria because spot at the women's world prop details coming up. and i but 1st through link has prime minister run over from a single husband sworn in as interim president officer goes by roger pox, a resigned in the wake of mass protest against the state of the economy. the new president promised to restore law and order and established a unity government, where come a single will hold the posts until the successor to read. practice is elected. that process will start when parliament convenes on saturday. when l fernandez isn't colombo for us, so the prime minister has been sworn in as acting presidents. me now something the

protest or is in fact didn't want. so what is the mood like on the ground? there's a little bit of a wait and see attitude. we had lots and lots of tension until we had that resignation letter of present got our bit roger boxer. people waited almost 2 days . finally it came. they waited little longer until it had to be verified. but the fact that with the resignation of president roger boxer, the automatic moving of prime minister runner vicar missing to the post of acting president, a is not something they were looking forward to. obviously, when are the president appointed him in the 1st place? there was a lot of pushback because they said he did not have legitimacy that he literally was appointed on the national list. he had lost his parliamentary seat, so not very happy campers here. but the are the new acting president until

essentially the 20th of july, when there's an election in parliament to appoint a more long term, essentially president to fill the shoes of resin. gotta be raj, a proctor till the end of the presidential term r d. a. run over, grimacing her in an address to the nation, you know, making some sort of conciliatory comments. talking about everybody needing to work together. everybody needing to put the country 1st or not people 1st and things like that. so the people of this country, particularly these protesters, are who have been talking about a system change will be hoping that he actually follows that and allows the democratic process to run its course. and to tell us about the supreme court, which are seeking travel restrictions, of course, on, on the roger packs or brothers where things stand with that here.

so that was basically a fundamental rights petition brought by the corruption watchdog transparency international. the had petition the supreme court, any response to that? the supreme court handed down an order preventing the former president, former prime minister, my in the roger boxer. that is the prison go to arbitrage bucks his elder brother. and the younger brother vassal roger boxer. he's a dual us citizen, he served as finance minister. basically the order prevents both of them from leaving the country until the 28th of july. obviously this was an attempt to ensure that there is no bid to flee the long arm of the law. and that's what that fundamental rights position was all about. so the court, it's of banning them from travelling and that's, that's the situation where the court proceedings are concerned. all right, thank you so much. michelle fernandez reporting from colombo. so let's take

a closer look at renelle work from a single political past. he comes from one of sir lancaster, elite families and leads the oldest political party since 1993 has served as prime minister 6 times, but has not served for a full term even once. the 73 year old was involved loss in last month talks with the international monetary fund for a bailout package and a new budget and made a spiraling economic crisis. but he remains deeply unpopular among protest. her is hundreds of them fought with security forces and occupied his office on wednesday let to bring in helen academy. gama was a senior lecturer at the university of jaffe, lance, sure lanka. he's joining us via skype from jeff. now thank you for your time with us on al jazeera. so what do you make of the developments that parliament is going to meet on saturday to begin the process of picking out a new president? it, is this a good move? yeah, thank you for having me on the one hand at today's

a great day for people in sri lanka, because the protest movement and the overwhelming majority of people who are behind it have ensured that a resignation, the ouster of the roger boxer and g that has been ruling this country for almost 2 decades, but not the difficult process of moving forward. and already there are signs that this process is not going to be what the people expected to a months ago. been elaine a very similar situation where the prime minister, the broad bill of the president mind, roger boxer resigned, and deb expectations that go to buy rods or bucks of could also be pushed out. but then he appointed ronald grimacing as prime minister and to the steam out of the, the process. 2 months later, another wave of corpus against both the president and prime minister running the drama singer, has finally dislodged roger casa. but now initially he appointed big promising

as acting president and his party as so p, p has just announced that they are going to back ronald wicker massena. as far as the damage, when the parliament elects an interning president for the rest of the dumb on july 20th. right. so those are you that young? yeah. how, how do you think people are going to react to that? are you worried that there could be a more protest and perhaps some violence that's right, this is going to be completely unacceptable, not just the distance, but the entire country run become a thing. i was completely reading the last election. he could not even with his own body much seat, and the party that he met, which had rule the country for many decades, was reduced to one seed, a proposal for presentations to which he came into parliament. so there's likely to be another we will protest and not only that,

the backlash against the liberals who represent if he is made president what seems determined to hook or crook to become president. so as soon as he became acting a president, he has legitimize the military even brought the board up investments and other independent bodies under the military. either way, because he has no political base, he has no social days. and he's now relying on the military because they are dangerous in terms of what that might mean for the man went to freedom in this country. on july 20, the better business prevails on the poly meant to keep the model you might be looking at for the one to come and stand this of course, all the political instability and the political, the daily political developments. in fact, coming, of course, on the back of a, of an economic crisis that the country is going through, just give us a sense of where you are in jost now how,

how difficult to become become to obtain some of the basics that people need. it is true throughout the country. the price of bread has more than tripled. even the price of rice, which is locally produced are fatal as triple non cues lasting days for fuel like petrol and diesel gas in short supply, nothing has changed. when running my thing as appointed prime minister 2 months ago, she announced that he was going to bring normal g, and he would be the one capable of working the national actors to get credit. she had completely failed. that is also another reason why the people focused engaged in. so these underlying economic issues that at the core of this part of the crisis requires a new leadership leadership that can lead to people that can have the confidence of the people to lead them. also trying to thank you a long way. thank you so much for joining us from jeff. not into line. come. italy

as president, has rejected the resignation of prime minister mario druggie after one of his coalition partners refused to back a spending bill in parliament. dragging needs a unity government that's been thrown into crisis by the 5 star movements, refusal to support legislation to tackle the cost of living. so italy seen a lot of change at the top. 6 prime ministers have held the post in the past decade, on average, their terms lasted about a year, except for one. so your brother scone was prime minister 3 times, spending 9 years in office, and the letter was the shortest serving leader of the past 10 years. last thing, just 300 days. italy's week economy and unstable political system contributes to the frequent leadership changes from on this autumn rainy. joining us room adam. so what happens next? well, during the $1000000.00 a 1000000, your question here. as you just explain italian politics is usually quite chaotic.

many here were hoping with mighty drag that helm a wouldn't be chaotic, and now it seems to jeff is. so to talk about this further what to expect, what comes next? we're joined now by historian john here. nice be also a political analyst and teaches politics at luis university in rome. thank you for joining us professor without to. what can we expect in the next week? what are we going to see here between mario, the parliament and the president, and then we're going to see a class to keep your political game important to go crazy. seen this very foul you into parliamentary regime where we are always of service kind of program optics. around coalitions where you can up some go for a vote being and withdrawing. so it's, it's not, it's not a unique situation. we've seen that in the past. so nobody's really worried about the country. and marya druggie just resigned, but it was rejected, right? but the frizzy did reject the resignation. he said no,

i don't accept it. and on the wednesday, we're going to see a, a volts eventually in the parliament, to, to see if there is still a majority. around mario, groggy executive, but truck. i mean, deal scene between negotiation. i've started and something might pop. there's a lot at stake for italy right now that young with this drought and the north gone going war and ukraine maintain a stance against russia and billions of dollars and e, you recovery funds aren't european leaders worried that it, that i eat is somehow no longer prime minister, the italy won't get it together to solve some of these problems. listen, i don't think it's that a worrying because for example, 2 days of fred is quite under control on the, on the, on the fine and so side it seems okay. for a brief moment, i would say it's not a short term issue. and schedule matter. i law, i was also shown in the president, the president, i'll showings very specific moments that you was able to drive the concrete frusack

cruises. so as look, so i think that italy can all ever manage its main goals. we talked a rickles return program was a huge chunk of european fans and everybody wants that. so i'm not so worried. so briefly who might benefit it? rockies, government does collapse, and early elections are held before the end of the year at z at the right side of the political spectrum, the political party fidelity, ty, yeah, he's somehow a nationalist. i would say nail goal is to movement, ease, brothers of italy, their brother, william thrashes, but they did they reject that? yes. well then they might not be listened defined as bill touches to day the for susie all nationalities. well, there are, there are a high in the balls and whatever open to moral all next year because as, as far as we can go. so legislature is gonna end up by next spring. well, they will benefits, but they are the only one,

but they are not part of the cooperation so they don't need to withdraw. so program all the, all the players, what are they going to do will fit thank you for that professor. that's the view here in rome. the next week will be a very important one. is money that i had the parliament just a few 100 meters from where i'm standing to try to convince his members of his unity coalition to keep supporting him, to try to get a lot more work done here. all right, thank you so much. i am rainy, reporting from rome. tens of thousands, a rockies have gathered in baghdad from us prayer. it's called by influential shia cleric the southern it sparking fears a further instability. last month, more than 70 members of parliament affiliated to and resigned on his orders. deepening months off political deadlock, then why had has more from baghdad. as you can see here in the background, these are tens of thousands of supporters of the she, i clinic and political leader looked at us suddenly they have gathered from civil

conferences across iraq. here too. and saw that a city in about that to perform a congregation mass prayers. this is upon request from look to the southern himself, has been calling on his followers and supporters across iraq to come to baghdad, to perform this congregation at mazda at raves. now, this is very special because it comes at the heart of a political unrest that is following the stalemate and iraq, and after $73.00 parliament, a members affiliated to him, up to the so that who quitted from the parliament over the disagreement where they're at iranian backed parties over forming a new government. this is 9 months after the legislative elections in october at last year. now, we've been talking to people here, followers these up worshipers. we have been telling us that you want to send

several messages to day regional, local at messages at local messages, including that they're backing them up to the us other that is supporting him in his stance in his way. they can fight against corruption and injustice. this also could be read as a kind of sure force. these numbers are meant according to many people here too. so that looked at us so that as a political and religious leader has many people backing him in iraq. and if he's moving on in his fight against what they call, can corruption an injustice. then he has got a lot of supporters on the grounds. time for a check on the weather hears car, how low they will start in the middle east, and from the satellite image. you can see there's more unsettled whether it's come for southern areas of the region. thanks to an area of low pressure, lingering off the gulf of a man that's going to bring some heavy falls to the likes of musket working its way

further west. over the weekend. i. the time we get to sunday, you can see that pulling in land. we, i like to see flooding rains from this system as well as some pretty fierce thunderstorms all the way to choose day that temperature as well expected to drop well below the average. not some of that cloud cover is expected to stretch its way further north, across the u, a. e coming into katara and saudi arabia, that wet weather expected to work its way west over the days ahead. but further north of this, for the likes of iraq, the temperature continues to climb for places like baghdad, 50 degrees celsius, we could see some stand storms here. and speaking of sandstorms, we've seen some of those in morocco. the temperature here expected to continue to climb, not just here, but coastal areas for the wetter weather we have to head to nigeria, we are expecting some pretty fierce thunderstorms to bring to renshaw, rain, and with that the chance of flooding. but further south of this, it's a much dryer picture across western areas. sunshine in cape town, ahead of a cool down come sunday. still heard on the alta 0 news,

our one of the world's biggest international carriers were tracked to demand from heathrow airport to cut flights. plus i'm jessica washington in barley with g. 20 finance chiefs on meeting mid mornings of a global cost of living crisis. and coming up in florida, africa, fastest mans reason, some last minute. sophie's head of what's likely to be the journey, all his life details coming up a little ah ah, ah

ah say that mm hm. and then international anti corruption excellence award boat. now for your hero o a.

hello again. the top stories on the al jazeera new dollar. u. s. president says the killers of al jazeera journalist, shutting off play must be held accountable. joe biden was speaking after meeting palestinian leader with our bus and the occupied westbank on the 3rd day of his middle east work. he's now on his way to saudi arabia. he previously pledged to make the kingdom a pariah after the killing of journalists, german high oil prices, and iran are on that agenda. so let's get more on that trip by the us president joe biden, to them, at least in particularly to saudi arabia. joining me here on site is al jazeera senior political analyst model. i'm beside a ron hello again. so he lands in just about an hour or so we believe in jed it's going to be a quick trip, right direct. let's talk about that. in fact, what is the message is being sent out by taking the 1st direct flight from israel to jetta and the message is to who clearly that saudi arabia is beginning the

process of some sort of an indirect normalization with israel. i thought a question of the american president in order to facilitate 1st of all a closer than distance between u e u, behaving and israel, but also to create the impression that so you're ready to play ball when necessary . do you expect us to hear any details about this closer rep ross small because the white house national security advisor jim sullivan? earlier this week and a briefing with reporters said that the biden administrator administration is working on the issue, but he didn't give much detail. do you expect any detail, any roadmap to come out? probably not. ok, i don't think so. he's already yet to make any more steps than what he's just taken yesterday regarding israel, but i think behind the scene, of course, we've seen our coordination going on now. i think i think we need to take president

biden's word for some of the things he said, 1st of all, he's not there to get saudi commitments on oil in as far as he's concerned. i think that's an interesting. it's open to question, but that's what he said. he's there for more important things for him. more and more important priorities, because he probably thinks that if you make whatever commitments that's not necessarily going to change the oil price. but more importantly, i think he said verbatim that he needs to integrate israel more in the region. so during the escape to the israeli integration in the region, that's why he's going to need. so with the help in order to create that space for expanding the abram accord whether we saw your shirley or other players 3. and i think is that is the most important thing for biden. who from that outset of

his administration of his tenure, he said, russia is a threat. china is a major competitor to the and i say strategic competence. the onset and i think their influence in the region is increasing through iran, syria, and even in the gulf in as far as china. and he needs to, with a limit to that sort of russian chinese encroachments on the region. so during the again, is key less remember, so david did not take a clear cut position on the question of the war and ukraine, although it did vote in favor of you and security council resolution. but until today, it's not playing ball in as far as what's to be done, including about increasing oil. but to what extent is bite and really playing a sort of diplomatic and political tight road by going to saudi arabia. because let's not forget, this is a country that he described as a pariah states when he was on the campaign trail. after of course,

the killing of the, the journalist, german casualty. that's a very important question that i think by then is trying to answer desperately. he's not succeeding too well because basically he had to eat his words. he's going to have to take back his awards. he's got to have to walk back. his threats and, and flowery language about just about the king down about not dealing with the chrome fence. have been said, man who is the fact to the leader in saudi arabia, and that's why tomorrow this is going to be the awkward seeing whether or how he would shake hands hug or not hug deal with not deals on. but what we know is, what, by the nose now, or whether there is no future for relations with saudi arabia, without, without from hum, been solomon. and hence, we're going to see that of course evolving over time. and guess what, dirty. and i think this is a bit for me not positive, but it's quite surprising how much is red and

reports from hong kong. so northern 2 decades, china's economy has been the defendable engine for global economic growth, but that engine is starting to splutter, heat him, him tinted the world's 2nd largest economy is slowing. and president charging pings 0 tolerance cove at 19 campaign is being blamed. 30 months after it began, but in whew hand, last month he signaled that it was a price worth pay. given the low vaccination rate, no country in the world is able to get it down to 0. so how is china going to be able to do that, particularly with low vaccination, right? it seems a very toy odom earlier this year. business activity and shanghai was brought to a standstill for weeks creating calles and food shortages. now the business and logistics hub is struggling to contain another outbreak. with households advise to

stuck up on 2 weeks of food and medicine. while many countries are trying to live with cobra 19 along with its multiple sub variance, china, it seems, will not be joining that list anytime soon. and so for now, the economy remained stuck in a stop stop pattern. this week the government has released another batch of economic and trade statistics, but they don't necessarily reflect what's really happening to the economy. says one skeptical analyst, i think as a, as the reference as a reference. but like all officials, the physics we analysts townhouse, try to figure out it correctly in terms of that. i think that the key figure that does matter though is the one for annual economic growth that this year china's leaders said at 5.5 percent. i think that's going to be very hard to achieve because there are so many headwinds. at the moment we have inflation taking off

around the world. maybe the world economy might fit into recession. so that means chinese export markets could well collapse with millions of people confined to their homes. consumer confidence is flat. that's why inflations hovering at around 2 and a half percent low compared to the us and europe. the uncertain economic part is unfolding in a politically sensitive year. after the 20th party congress in november, president, she expects to secure an historic 3rd term. adrian brown al jazeera hong kong, the dubai base airline. ember it says rejected an order from london heathrow airport to cancel flights. the airport management says no more than a 100000 passengers a day can depart until september. its been experiencing several disruptions, severe disruptions because of staff shortages. m are it's run 6 slight today from heathrow to do by. let's see to simon colder. who's

a travel correspondent for the independent. he's joining via skype from london. thanks for your time with us on our 0. so it seems that the gloves are off. amaris is accusing heathrow off one incompetence to blatant disregard for consumers and creating a mess that airlines and passengers have to sort out this is quite unprecedented. isn't it? in unprecedented. is exactly the word. yes, i have never seen that kind of disagreement between airlines and airports before, of course, airports and airlines wants to provide the best possible service that they can to their passengers and heath ro decided this week. that the only way to do that was to impose a cap of $100000.00 departing passengers a day. the big problem is that this summer, more than that, are booked to travel pretty much every day. as it result heathrow said stop selling

flights, and the flights you have, you are going to have to cancel entire flight or you're going to have to tell some of the passengers. they are not traveling. this is so that we can deliver a decent service and we don't have the kinds of problems with baggage that we have seen at london heathrow and other airports around europe and the rest of the world . however, emirates said we are perfectly capable of running our operation at each row and we do not wish to put passengers in a difficult position by canceling their flights. there is simply not enough room to fly them from other locations or on other airlines. right. so yes, a really tough summer, a hedge. i do want to talk about passengers in a moment. but let me just 1st ask you whether i know you're keeping an eye out on the story. so do you expect other airlines to follow suit? well, other airlines are very, very angry about having to disappoint their passengers. however,

there's various fixes that they can put in place. one of them actually is to tell airline staff that they are not allowed to travel from london heathrow. now, as you will know in aviation, which isn't that very well paid profession, part of the attraction is that you get to travel either 3 or very, very low fares. and so i'm, some airlines are taking those staff privileges away for the summer. but that's just one part of the problem. let me just jump in there and talk about it was, let me just jump in there for the sake of time. my apologies. but what is your advice to people who are traveling in and out of he throw the summer really good question. the vast majority of people, whether you're trying, you're traveling on emory, it's all cats are airways on any of the trans atlantic. carriers will get to your destination, hopefully with your baggage act on time this summer. however,

at the margins, there will be some people who are told your flight isn't going at which point you have to exercise your rights on the european air. passenger rights rose, which basically means that the airline that cancels your seat has to find you some other way of getting to your destination as soon as possible. all right, thank you. so my time i called her for speaking to her from london. still ahead on the al jazeera news, our we have the sports is coming up in manchester. united build momentum ahead of the new english premier league season football auction coming up in a moment. mm hm.
