29 in the morning when people were going off, students were going to school. in fact, some people are already in their offices and students in schools and so people who are in buildings that had to be evacuated here in metro manila. 5 and they bring progress, there's obviously in the northern part of the philippines, the parts that have been most affected by the earthquake. so right now, as you can see, my background is a bit quiet. but we are trying to make our way to commuter train station here. or there is a bit of a commotion because the, the commuter trains, the operations have been suspended until the lines are getting longer and longer or people riding the bus is going to work. and it's really creating quite

a theme. there are president the ferdinand market junior. his hometown is in the northern philippines. he has already coordinating with the you know, the relevant agencies. he's orders relieved in rescue workers to the site. really good as well. those will be affected by the quick and he's scheduled to fly to the northern philippines. that's one of the low with all the latest there from manila. thank and he's really generic drug make has reached an agreement in principle to pay over full $1000000000.00 for its role in the us opioid epidemic. if the deal is finalized eva would be the latest major company to reach a settlement over the crisis o periods of killed more than 500000 people in the u. s. i've passed 20 years now. the settlement wouldn't require even to admit any wrongdoing. in the case. iowa attorney general tom miller's office was directly involved in these negotiations.

he says the u. s. federal drug administration should face some serious questions. i think some really serious question should be asked to be up the 8 concerning this. ok, you know, basically what happened is in 1996 opioids were used properly in the medical profession. they were used as the pain remedy of last resort. they were, they were given with enormous amount of, of fear and respect because of the addiction and purdue pharma with help from others are really, you know, convinced the, the medical profession otherwise, through various means and programs and foundations. ah, the 10 years later, opiates was one of the many tools for pain medication from bay and pain management . it was not given with respect and concern about addiction. ah, and a medical profession, you know, really let that happen. but you have to let it happen. the f d a was the chief regulator. i think i think some real questions need to be asked

about the update during, during this, during this period. your opinion, nations have agreed to russian gas supplies after russia announced another cutter deliveries. he members agree to voluntarily reduce gashes by 15 percent from august until march rush us as the reduced output is due to a faulty gas turbine. but a, you leaders accused moscow playing politics are below charming. their reports from brussels. the energy crisis looming over europe dominated the meeting of u ministers in brussels, russian and gas ahead of winter, the best and only way to reduce the eas reliance on russian energy. $45.00 b sam correspond stay 15 percent cut in our usual gas consumption between the beginning of august and the end of march. that's why we have pointed to this percentage as the target or member states should stay forward. russia is said to further reduce

supplies through the north stream pipelines, blaming a technical fault at one of the us stations, something even ministers dispute. you leaders say there is no technical reason for the last reduction, something gas prom disputes of the short national game. as of today, there is no solution to the ongoing equipment issues at the point here. they are compress the station, yet there is no solution whatsoever yet seem as, as saying nothing. they're trying to find solutions. but there are monotonous as the west and russia exchange economy blows in response to russia's war in ukraine. european leaders say moscow is not a trustworthy partner. the winter's coming ah, and 3 don't know how cold it will be. but what we know for sure that the in the will continue to play his sir. does the game see her in misusing and like, mailing her by. ah gar supplies, little you, grace president,

one of the major lensky says, europe is already at war with russia just on a different front. i see him, his bride. all this is done by russia on purpose to make it as difficult as possible for your opinions to prepare for winter. and this is an open gas war that russia is waging against the united europe. this is precisely how it should be perceived and they don't cable happen to the people or how they will suffer from hunger g to the blockading of ports, or from winter cold and poverty, or from occupation. these are just different forms of terror yet. wellness does that. nearly half of all the gas europe needs, it comes from russia. the supply is now down to our relative trickle. come winter if european countries don't have enough supply stored up in time, it means certainly almost, it will be a struggle to heat homes and power cities. abdullah shami elders, era brussels. the international monetary fund is predicting

a slowdown in the global economy. in its latest report, the i m f projects. the growth will slow to just 3.2 percent this year. i food and energy price is partly brought on by the ukraine war along with supply chain bottlenecks. are also expected to push a global inflation up to 8.3 percent that's previously higher than projected in the world. 7 leading economy is the i, m f says the probability of recession is now estimated to be nearly 15 percent. that's 4 times higher than usual. the i where says that while the outlook is bad, there are measures countries can take to mitigate the worst impacts. the outlook is darkened significantly since april. the world may soon be teetering on the edge of a global recession. only 2 years after the last one multilateral cooperation will be key in many areas from climate physician and pandemic preparedness to food security, and that distress amid great challenge and strife. strengthening cooperation

remains the best way to improve economy prospects fall and mitigate the risk of g. economy fragmentation, william lee is the chief economist at the milken institute. he says that russia appears to be whether the storm, much better than most other countries. the i miss outlaw generally reflects the consensus of opinion about what impact the various shocks i've had on the global economy and the russian ukraine. war has become a well known shock and the i m. f analysis is pretty clear in what consequences are higher prices and slow growth. what russia certainly is getting a lot of revenues from the sale of energy the, even though the sanctions have been in place and the west has tried to restrict rushes access with global financial system. russia has been managing quite well since 2014, when it initially was subject to global sanctions because of its initial incursion to into ukraine. it has become much more of a self sufficient domestic economy where is substituted imported goods with

domestically produce goods. so and so's russia has feared quite well, but the sanctions are hurting. we can see the consequences of the lack of imports from the west in the equipment. the soldiers are using in their battles, very antiquated, analog type devices that should clearly have lacked the benefit of imports. i think the europeans are doing some chest thumping and saying that all we can do without the russian gas imports. when the winter gets cold, i think people are going to be clamoring for more of that gas. so i question the veracity and integrity of those. those those initial calls for kind of golf rushing gas. so head on out, zera, janasia looked sent to get a new constitution. the present support is a happy, but they might be the minority. and donald trump to self as he returns to washington for the 1st time since he left novice. ah,

american citizen. we also asked for accountability and the justice wasn't really acknowledgment there about how absurd it seemed. when the u. s. government said that they couldn't make any definitive judgment about who killed shrink, and yet they've decided it wasn't dumb on caucus. by the idea of was, was that contradiction discourse perhaps what we asked for them to retract, or to correct the statement of considering the fact that it lacked evidence at clack transparency. and the, until today we were never aware of how the process went. and the secretary blink and he, he studies committed to providing us transparency moving forward with any process that involves the case of shooting. or is there a timeline though, or are they gonna furnish information as to exactly what role but how that means, investigations and whether they really went forensically over the evidence. so there was no timeline. we were not given

a deadline as to when we would receive the information. we will continue to ask for accountability tanf for you as lead investigation that is transparent and independent because that statement was not an investigation. we weren't the only ones who are not satisfied, but even us senators. and members of congress expressed that in a letter they sent us to the, to the president. so we are expecting an independent investigation and justice for shit in but finally, do you think they're taking this seriously or is this now a public relations like so, i was like, decided that not going to make these really is uncomfortable in any way. am i just trying to get through this without? well, we are hoping that this is taken seriously. oh, we are hoping to see meaningful action and not just statements, but we want to see action. we want to see accountability. so we can prevent this from happening to other american palestinian citizens or palestinians in general.

so shitty and was a her, she was a human being at the end of the day. so she needs to be protected. journalists have to be protected, and it's important for us that the u. s. administration takes this seriously. we also requested her to meet with the president, since he did not meet with us when we were back in. when we were back in palestine, and the meeting with the president would show us that the u. s. is taking this matter seriously. is when the forces of rated the palestinian village of corolla bonnie hudson in the occupied where spine, they demolish the homes of 2 palestinians who had been charged with keller. god in april at the illegal is where the settlement of audio neither brain ripples no one year old as the dean meadow, he has been asking about his bicycle since the early hours of the morning. with the help of a friend, he managed to find what's left of it. no matter he found me. this is the only thing

2021. president donald trump left washington. now about a year and a half later, he's back. his address, similar to once he's been given, painting a dark picture of the country, but one full of falsehoods. under the democratic rule, in democrat run cities, democrat run stage and a democrat run federal government. and criminals have been given free reign more than ever before. in reality, in the 10 states with the highest homicide rates, 7 are run by republicans. 3 democrats, murder, and our country is up 51 percent. it's not the latest statistic, say it's up about 30 percent according to the centers for disease control and prevention. there were lies about the state of the economy and what he accomplished in office, and the fact that he lost the election. but still there were chance of 4 more years

. not far away, one of the men who would like a chance to be the next president, former vice president mike pence made his pitch subtly distancing himself from his former bosses'. i don't, i don't know that the president and i differ on issues, but we may differ on focus. i truly do believe that elections are about future. it's not just trump who's focusing on the past attorney general mer garland, the man who will decide if trump's should be criminally charged for his role. in january 6, insurrection says if trump runs again and which trump hinted at during the speech, it won't stop him from filing charges like we pursue justice without fear or favor . we intend to hold everyone. anyone who was criminally responsible for events surrounding january 6, 4,

and he attempt to interfere with the lawful transfer power from one administration to another accountable. that's what we do. we don't pay any attention to other issues with respect to that. and we started to see more former trump officials walk out after talking to a grand jury in washington. indications that a trump criminal indictment is at least a possibility. patty calhane al jazeera washington. xerox foreign minister has cold on the un security council to set up an independent investigation into a deadly attack on its kurdish region. last week, 9 people were killed including torrison children. iraq has blamed turkey for the attack. a claim on ker denies are diplomat together to james base reports from the un headquarters in york. inside the security council, a war of words about who was responsible for the artillery attack, which claimed the lives of 9 iraq. he taurus a wounded more than 20 mol. on one side of the horseshoe table. the rocky foreign

international reaction has be cautious. we also new concerns that the new constitution includes weakened checks and balances. i can compromise the protection of human rights and fundamental freedoms with the results now announced tunisia will shift from a parliamentarian system to an executive presidential, one critic say, the president will now have full control over parliament. the government as well as the judiciary, but in effect this will put an end to the separation of power in the country. tonisha was a spot for the out of spring that spread across the region, despite is ups and downs for the last decade. it has been regarded as the only democracy to emerge from the upheaval, but now with a new constitution coming into effect. questions are being raised on the out of 3 walls. the trail. is this the end of the arabs room door position still believes that democracy ranch will appear. we're not a good good. the democrat, the good. we have no choice but democracy who now it's in a relapse,

but it will when we see the algerian movement hasn't ended in victory. iraq is not doing so well that they will eventually triumph. democracy is now engraved in the arab mindset. it will not fade look at sudan, algeria, lebanon. i see a future for democracy. i see a setback in countries like egypt and syria, and other nations, but i also see it making a comeback. while a sign of majority has chosen to stay away from the polling stations, chubb his optimism about the future of democracy remains not program. russ, who said that of jazeera tennis shoes, i mark 70 years since the death of argentina's 1st lady eva pearl, bear, known by her nickname of vito alongside her husband. they created a movement that continues to run argentine politics. teresa has more form, but his heiress. she's the most famous woman in argentina in that we don't we the dan as people call her and on tuesday, thousands took to the streets to pay tribute on the 17th anniversary of her death.
