said no, no, he was a great feeling so much. i felt as if we became free after being detained for a long time. it's an undescribable feeling to be returning to my home country up is suffering from the seat and the dangers that were facing due to the shilling. trailing a pilot ship, the rezone is a test run bound for ist and both then lebanon. if all goes well, many more will follow. alexey gone to wrinkle a member of the ukrainian parliament came to watch history and the make. it's valid duration of the black sea from fortune and from russian empire. he tried and did everything he can not to give this ship and other ships possibility to leave odessa pods and for almost half year it was like this. but as you see, he failed. the ship departed despite several rush and attacks in the region, and on the port of odessa itself, since the un brokerage in agreement between ukraine and russia for this safe

passage via ist and bowl. it's been a long time coming, but this is a ship. every one's been waiting for coursing through war time waters on its way to feed the world. ukraine says the shipment will create jobs and provide money to fuel the war effort. as the 1st of last year's delayed crop leaves farmers risk their lives for this season's harvest, sometimes led by d mining cruise. sometimes not, this harvester struck an explosive. the danger on the grain trail continues on the black sea journey to turkey, through waters dotted with sea mines in an active war's own. it's all managed through a joint coordination center and turkey, and extraordinary collaboration between representatives from the u. n. ukraine and russia. we believe that it's critical to and to ensuring global foot security. so yes, we need, we need to succeed. whether this is the beginning of the effort to avert a global food crisis or the end depends in part on the voyage of the rezone. john

100 al jazeera, odessa ukraine. well, that's the latest from ukraine. it's got born out from istanbul where the ship is headed out as harrison and casinos there, or we are expecting. thus, the journey is going to be around 22230 see miles. so the 1st ship left or the support. and we are expecting some more ships leaving their ports and joining with the zone a vessel somewhere in the black sea. and like us, like a cool noise muscles, they are expected to reach the shores of fumble up on the north, the black sea shores of assembled before they enter the bath. for a straight, there is an end garage, a. we are old ships, all vessels always anchored there before they get the paperwork's done. before entering the truck is freight, and for this special vessels carrying ukrainian grains, they will be inspected by

a un un let the legation when they anchor off there, the vessel is expected to anchor off. on the shores of its stumble around 12 gmc, which is around 3 pm local. normally in an ideal world, in a, in a stat, in an a salva system. these kinds of inspections take around 3 to 4 hours. but as this is the 1st crossing of the ukrainian grain vessels, this may take longer. so we don't know when those vessels will literally enter the bus 1st rate. but as they entered the bus 1st straight and crossed the mind maurice see through the dark enough straight these vessels are going to sail towards the agency and then towards that down south of the mediterranean, and hopefully will carry the corns and grains all foot materials to the 1st destination triple lebanon,

shia politician looked at al serra is calling on all iraq. he's to join protest as of the parliament. his supporters are still camped inside the building in bagdad green zone arrival militia group was called for a counter protest against what it calls a suspicious qu, thousands of santa supported stormed parliament on saturday. the 2nd time in a week that amounting at overhaul of the political system and the constitution, our serious dorsey jibari is inside parliament in bagdad. she's with us now live dos of what are we expecting in the next few hours. oh certainly i read you your critical point here. we understand that all roads leading into the capital back on the southern part of back that have been closed off by security forces because we understand there are a number of busses that are bringing people in to keep the call from the whole issue framework that came after these demonstrators behind me known as others,

took over this part of the building on saturday afternoon. now what we do know is that most, that are all center put out a tweet calling for all iraq is to come out and support these demonstrators. and this is, will revolution an opportunity for a fact while you're on hold for their own counter next hour, outside the area of the greens of this building is out in the heaven like rain. so when the demonstrate is behind, you broke down concrete barrier walls on saturday through and enter this building for the 2nd time this week. so there is a sense that things are certainly reaching the pivotal point. what the coalition framework has put out a statement to their supporters say that they are holding on also all the rockies to come out and that they are not limiting just to they're all supporters to show

what is happening here is what they consider to be against the institution of the government, as well as really a fraction of the country does not represent representative of the entire iraqi population. they put out a list of suggestions saying that they are demonstrators are not i'm sorry, we seem to have lost us to bury the reporting live from inside parliament in bagdad will let one of the triggers for the protests in baghdad is the rivalry between 2 of iraq's leading sheer politicians, mac tada, asada, and former prime minister dorion monarchy. in october, the populace leader sawdust coalition won the most seats in parliament's aleki and others called the result illegitimate. it june. santa told more than 70 m. p. 's to resign. that was after a boycott by malik his block stopped his coalition, fully

a government and at a side of the tension that leaked audio recordings allegedly reveal molly keep insulting sada in them he warns of a war between the rival shia camps. maria fan tapia is a middle east and north africa research, as she says, the dispute shows just how heavily driven it rocky politics is by conflict between various sheer groups. if i will say more optical and then just try, just don't keep an intrigue because we have seen a manager of the iraq history, some device among the sheer forces, but they were never reaching this level of intensity. so when we see the father mobilizing process, there's under the look into reform. in reality, what we see is also an interest struggle happening between him and the molecule

lead the sheer group before the over that she will see it gets to this. iran is the major actor. we didn't iraq, she and politics is also true that in the past years we have been an increasing number of regional for years from the goals and from the region neighbors of iraq, also engaging with iraq. she had and they think that they have been also now over the past 9 months election, strong support for the other. and it's a lie to really form a political block to push back and roll back iran in iraq. so what we can expect now is that the most likely iran one tried to find that come again among all the sheer groups. this is annisa from

al 0 still come on the program. you asked how speak and nancy pelosi begins her talk of asia, but it's drawing threats from beijing will explain why. tension is high and to border crossings are closed right now in kosovo. it is poured water pasco bits farewells when any time grace the details coming up. ah, nigeria says that it's destroyed more than $1500.00 illegal oil refining sites. in a renewed campaign to clamp down on crude oil theft. it's lost more than $3000000000.00 in one year with more loss is projected in 2022. out 0. i would address joint security forces as they hunted down the oil thieves in the niger delta. in the air, or land and at sea, the nigerian military use under strict orders to end the plundering of the

countries oil. when security forces returned to the side, they destroyed 5 weeks earlier, they encountered oil thieves as crews cheese them. the bundles run towards their boats hidden in the creeks when one is captured in towns of crush. indeed sir eli del refine his sights. we have crushed thousands of them as you are destroying one side before you get to the auto and an widow and is bringing up again. this pipeline is one of the most frequently vandalized in the country. it delivers half a 1000000 barrels of oil a day to an export terminal, but for the past 5 months, not a drop was delivered as the operator shell was forced to shut it down. we've had dish and where when we're going to quicken camps august comes like this.

they've set fire to the camps in endangering us and am i equipment most of the stolen cold is ferita elijah vessels at sea by barges like these which are usually hard to apprehend. flying over the creeks, the devastation caused by all bunkering is massive. hidden under 3 copies, the old thieves are putting finishing touches to this facility capable of refining tens of thousands of gallons a day. and instead of using filed, then our steel gas to distill the cold, military come on to say there are hundreds of these illegal distilleries scattered across the oil, producing delta in addition to bleeding the economy dry. the operations also damage the environment because they are not properly equipped to process could oil the blend of nigeria oil has left the country unable to meet or pick quarter activity.

so going on, as i speak to you now as so much collaboration going with the communities to make sure that there was a boy in the process of protecting his assets. and the company looked up to the renewed clamp down to return to profitability. but with all thieves, continuously changing their tactics, it could be a long while before that will happen. how many degrees al jazeera in nigeria is all producing, delta. noah brenna is an executive editor with energy intelligence. so the problem that's gone on for, for decades, really, almost since the advent of oil industry there and it's been, you know, it's persisted through through administrations and across government. so it's very difficult to, to eradicate. there are a number of different outlets for this. i mean, sometimes it's being bought within country and put into these legal oil refineries, which are then that product is unfold either within the jury or, or outside of the country. any nigeria is a country that well being very rich and oil does not have enough refining capacity

for finding sector is, is under invested in and it imports many of the gasoline, much of the gasoline and diesel that it needs. so that's one outlet, and then there is also some of it that does find this way probably into the global oil market or into refineries and other parts of africa. but i mentioned very, very difficult to trace kind of the various flows of the solicit oil through the economy. i would say this is an incredibly important issue. you know, nigeria was losing, you know, by our estimates as much as 5000000000 dollars this year with, with the price of oil at $90.00. now the price of oil is well above $90.00. and so this is an incredibly important fiscal issue, but it's also one from, from a standpoint of, of having a working oil industry. you know, as we heard earlier in the report, shell has had all kinds of problems with, with oil theft and is actually looking at selling some of its assets in the country because they simply can no longer deal with can no longer kind of tolerate the,

the amount of stuff that's going on and so how you actually stop this and he certainly destroying the physical infrastructure that they're located with this. but i mean, it also comes down to having an oil industry that's managed in such a way so that, so that, you know, there is a flow of refined products from the country. there is this thing simply do function on a fiscal basis. so, as i said, an incredibly complicated problem that doesn't simply have one kind of silver bullet answer. the un mission in the democratic republic of congo has admitted that its troops killed people during a gun battle on the border with uganda. the head of the mission says that soldiers were returning from leave when they open fire a board of crossing. the incident comes to us days of the 12 civilians and 3 peacekeepers were killed and fighting at a un base into 10 both in the northeast of the country, senegal was president mackey. salis, governing coalition says that it won

of 46 ad departments in all synagogue. and that they can have the majority in the parliament that the coalition of the opposition. they held also our press conference at the same time. and they said that they win in the biggest cities in synagogue who are well represented in the parliament by a high number of seats. or we have some partial and not official reserves are published by local media is really forces of arrested 42 palestinians in different parts of the occupied west bank. i jerusalem governor, i've been guy says, among the detainees. the arrests happened overnight. dozens of his where the forces on petroleum nobliss and bethlehem rated palestinian homes. but he,

trainees were taken to investigation centers on charges of resistance. $4650.00 promised williams are currently in is ready trails. $650.00 are detained without charge. a fuel truck has exploded in southwestern libya, the head of ambulance and emergency services is told out 0 that 8 people were killed and 54 injured. the explosion happened to the city of several. when a crowd flocked around an oil tanker. many of the wounded are in a critical condition. you ask how speaker nancy pelosi has arrived in singapore on the 1st stop of her tour of the region. she's visiting bellagio, south korea, and japan to discuss trade cove at 19 and climate change. it's still unclear though, with a policy will include a stop in taiwan or official itinerary doesn't include one. beijing is warned policy against visiting the self governing island which it claims as part of its territory. hello hebrew,

now global foot high of how speaker pelosi goes to taiwan. it will be a growth interference in china's internal affairs. it will seriously damage china's sovereignty and territorial integrity trample on the one. china principal seriously threatened the peace and stability of the taiwan strait and seriously undermined sin o u. s. relations and lead to a very serious situation and very serious consequences yet don't go. the chief of mammals military has extended a state of emergency for a further 6 months. it's been in place since the june to deposed the government along santucci in february last year. so she is in detention and has been charged with several offenses monitoring groups, so that more than 2000 people have been killed. and $15000.00 arrested and a crackdown on pro democracy protests since the coo. now, no one has on their cima. we made up most efforts in discharging the stay duties with might but internal and external terrorists. and their conspirators are committed to the utter devastation rather than the flourishing of democracy in

myanmar and the legal committee. the parallel government and terrorist organizations against the government, which is formed into the constitution, commit various ways and means to distract the security, peace and stability of the nation. number on it out of the tiny chair has borne our from bangkok on the regional reaction. to this point, they have, for the most part, expressed their outrage at the particularly the execution of 4 political prisoners . at the beginning of last week, a malaysia's foreign minister went as far as to say, that was an ain't a crime against humanity. he said that he had wanted to introduce the 5 point s e n plan last year, but it hadn't been possible because of waves of cove. it waves 2 and 3, which had hit me on my very badly. he said that this year me m, i was in the process of implementing that plan to the extent of it, its own ability and that seems to be a get out closed. but i think that anyone really looking at this objectively would say that ma'am, are certainly from a military perspective,

has gone nowhere towards employ. implementing assay ends plans. and i think our cn will be looking very bluntly at how they respond. there may be countries within us . yeah. and like thailand that'll try to re engage me in march. but i think the opposition coming from countries like the philippines, malaysia, indonesian singapore, will be very strong now, either to isolate man, mar, completely from the grouping. or to take some, some more positive action against them to, to try and get them to take this process. a little more seriously shall anchor's highest court has once again extended a travel bound on the former prime minister. my hinder roger park. so along with his brother basil, who was the finance minister there barred from leaving the country until august. 4th, the brother, i'm former president, go to buy a roger parker from the country last month after mass protests, blaming the family for the devastating economic crisis. he tended his resignation from singapore, which is now allowed him to stay for further 14 days. meanwhile,

the government has issued a nerves urgent international appeal for help. with tackling the rapid spread of malnutrition, among children, the country spent in a deep financial crisis since 2019. that is struggling to pay for in ports of basic goods. several $100000.00 children are at risk. the opposition of india is calling on the government to re think it's moved to increase taxes on essential foodstuffs . prices for products like milk, rice would be impacted by the rise. i'll just there as part of the metal report style from new delhi. the engine parliament has been employed entails over the last few weeks and it is over the issue of price rise. opposition parties have been demanding a debate. they have stage protests and a walk out several m. p. 's have also been suspended for demonstrating her recently the government to increase taxes on several products and impose new ones on basic necessities like rise, flaw packaged food and dairy products. this has increased price is further isadine

m m m. and the problem is that glass is a big expense to in the price of sweet lem has also one of these were much cheaper . and you, my expensive corner port income is not increased and i don't even know the prices have increased 2 and a half times federal laws about $0.90. now it's more than a dollar de la mustard all used to cost a dollar and 30 cents. now it's more than $2.00, a cooking gasoline, there was $5.00 or i'm now paying more than $15.00. so everything is become more expensive, but the government is in delilah. it believes everything still costs the same for delivery as america. the government says the new taxes will prevent evasion. it all to points out that several opposition party supported these. it says it will discuss the issue in parliament over the next few days. now, inflation is expected to remain high. the global economy is also having an impact. the international monetary fund has revised india's growth prospects. it now

expects the economy to grow at about 7.4 percent. this is lower than what the government had projected a few months ago. let skirt a weather update. bow on these are his everton. hello. we still have righty the forecast for the middle east. she can say this band of cloud and where to weather which just straddle c western side all around one or 2 showers, a possibility? i think here in casa, we should stay lot, you drive a little on the cloudy side, and that wet weather extending across towards the red sea. some, hey, be down poor, still a potential for some flooding into the south as to saudi arabia could see further flooding too into that western side of the eman. i'm afraid further north, it generally stays dry. plenty of sunshine, hot sunshine too into the mid to high forty's. once again, while the more pleasant 30 celsius. therefore beirut, that eastern side of the mediterranean lassie settle and sunny not too bad at all. warm sunshine to across northern parts of africa. plenty a shower, see hastily waves rolling off the opium highlands brings them big down paws their

into sedan, south sedan, southern parts of chad near seeing some lively showers, northern parson nigeria, cuz the a little bit of localized flooding. see that wet weather extending across towards a liberia and to the north thereof just around the coast there little trial and it should be at the moment we see some excessive rainfall. meanwhile, just around uganda, we had some flooding as a result of this system. western parts of kenya also sinks and much needed re showers for south africa at some still comes pair on that is our wild fires in the u. s. state of california spread quickly, fueled by hot and windy conditions. we'll look at why it's getting more expensive for young americans to keep a roof over their heads at its force. before we the one championship liter continues his dominance by winning the hungarian gold free. ah

ah. ah. safe going home and then international anti corruption, excellence award boat. now for your hero,

lou ah, hello again. adrian finnegan, here in doha with the news. al from out 0, the headlines, the cheerleader dr. al serra is calling on all iraqis to join protest as he'll come inside the parliament arrival militia group a school for a counter protest against what it calls a suspicious crew. the 1st ship carrying ukrainian grain has now left the port of odessa on the, at it's national deal signed last month. the rezone sierra leone flag vessel carrying more than $26000.00 tons of corn for them. 2000 people in northern california have been forced from their homes by a massive wildfire. it's the biggest in the state this year. and the governor has

declared an emergency. the mckinney fire is in common, national forest. they, the state's northern border with oregon firefighters a concentrating on getting people out safely, rather than fighting the blaze itself. as al jazeera mike, hannah reports, it's called the mckinney fire. it started on friday, grew from one to 160 square kilometers in 24 hours. and it's now covering well over 200 square kilometers and continuing to spread a mandate. free evacuation order was issued. an estimated 2000 people left their home saturday, and another 500 had been evacuated in the course of sunday. many, leaving behind their possessions like this 81 year old. my house is gone, all my furniture, all my clothes shoes out since everything's gone. some decided to leave before the mandate re to ation and managed to save some of their belongings. yeah,

we got out before the fires, actually they're here with the red flag to get out. we don't want to be there to when they do say, get out, have 15 minutes out and figure out all those packed every to goes get are there soon as possible. this whirling winds made the course of the fire impossible to predict. a i mean, i think i'm from any angle at this point. it's just a matter of where the when take it. over 60 hikers who are on the popular pacific chris trail was safely rescued. they had about 20 feet of visibility on the trail at the time that they chose to call in and try to get some help. mckinney fires by far the largest, but across the west of the united states, small fires of flaring up, erratic, weather is threatening to bring dry thunder storms with dangerous lightning, but little to no actual rain. and above all, the soaring heat is creating the ideal conditions for fires to start and spread

my canada, which is era and further to the south. emergency crews in another part of california have made some progress in containing the oak fire. near yosemite national park, 6000 people had to leave the homes. meanwhile, more heavy rain is hampering rescue and recovery efforts following flooding in the us state of kentucky. the governor says the death toll of $28.00 is expected to rise. the national guard is deployed troops to assist emergency crews, but their operations have been hampered by damage to critical infrastructure. well, on the 1st ship that's left a port desa with great on board is reported to be heading for lebanon, which is just one of the countries around the world in the midst of a food crisis right now. joining us live by skype from beirut is patrick martini economists at latin whole international market solutions. good to have with us since. so, is this cargo ship really going to make any difference to the food crisis in lebanon,

or more supply of corum levin. one wouldn't that would alleviate some of the short term pain that the population is currently going through, but he won't be a lasting solution, of course, because lebanon problems are me, need you to domestic causes. i mean, you have the hybrid inflation. we have been management of our currency each. we have bad policies, setting prices below their cost. that's why we have shortages, for example, eat. i mean the price will bet brenda does not cover the possible for using the spreads. when he produces bread, you have shortage and bread is the for the, the poor. so, you know, i mean, all those problem, most of the problems are self conflicted. and the, and this shipment to lebanon can ease some of the problem. but the quantity is all that does a lot of them have the ability to, to store the grain right now. so with the destruction of the me inside

a little in be a route you to, that would be report explosion. we lost the main capacity of storing those gains. however, there are small capacity is in the mens around the country, those smaller a storage facility. and so i think that the green will be stored over there. also the quantity is not that big, right? because i mean it to present what less than 5 percent of lebanon was annual consumption or, and so i think it is manageable in the market can absorb. ready this quantities would be a problem, and i mean it's, it's, it's cone as well. why? why corn does lebanon made more cold than it, but it needs wheat? no, it's, it's me, it is one. i mean, a level on imports. most of it's a, it's a food c or green from ukraine. now, who's talking about call we, but even like oil or all the vegetable or useful again, lebanon is

a big buy it from ukraine and the war over there to have blocked or the supply chain. so the ship's good luck about lebron was we had the problem with all those products. what is one of them? and corn is a good now, so we should take advantage of that. and of course, we, we don't know whether lebanon is in fact, the final destination for this dismissal from ukraine. we, we've been told by the, the turkish foreign ministry that it is heading to lebanon. i mean, it's, it's a significant, but small step is what we're saying. here is welcome, but it's not really going to make much of a difference. i think the main difference will be on the international alert level in the sense that i mean pinion is a big producer of, of grains worldwide on lemons. to finally come to the boss, ukraine is the major storage, and if we are a resolving low supply chain issues, it now the ships can leave ukraine and, and sell those ukranian grains to the international market. this would mean that

a better situation, internationally, lower prices of food and we started to seeing it. i mean, before, before this arrangement came through, we had problems with the weather. so there work in sales certain on the nova supply of grain, those tensions now are used with the ukrainian supply coming into the market. again, the price will sweep off wheat or i mean most or all those la grange is indeed 50 percent higher than it was in 2020, but it's half the peak that we've reach someone because of all right, so the market is internationally. the passes will move on, beings are, are on the degrees. and i think that this arrangement to play the role in that really good to talk to patrick benny. thanks and for being with us. patrick martini that in beirut, nearly 900 medical facilities and ukraine have been damaged or destroyed during

russia's invasion conflict as force hospital staff to come up with new ways to keep patients safe. there's also a growing pressure on the health system of the country, including medicines and supplies of war takes its toll. earlier we spoke to dr. called about to later who's volunteering at the regional hospital and levine, if he explained some of the challenges that health work is dealing with it is the country as in war that needs to keep its health system working normally are as normal as possible. but, you know, going back to the maternity we are seeing, for example, many more premature babies being born because of the stress of the war. because people, especially pregnant women, are not being followed throughout their pregnancy as normal. and we are also in terms of mental health, we're seeing a huge rise of cases of depression, anxiety with the health system that is not able to cope. so i, what i can confirm from being here on the ground is that we are dealing with major

health issues and challenges. not only today but the country will be facing the challenges and many years to come. and the rebuilding of a free ukraine will be depend on international cooperation, also to make sure that the health response is put up to speed to the needs of the p . part of the ruined grain silos at the roots pause has collapsed. for weeks, a file has been burning slowly in the storage facility, which was badly damaged in an explosion at august 2020, in which more than 200 people were killed. ounces, he was from manon reports. a grim reminder of a tragic day. these green sailors withstood the impact of a massive chemical explosion at bay report in 2020. now, nearly 2 years later, they come crashing down cloud. now. a fire hastened to collapse. grain fermenting in the hot weather caught a light and they didn't try to extinguish the fire. and today we can see that the silos are like collapsing gasoline has rudy was one of more than 200 people who

died in the 2020 disaster. his daughter says the silos should never have been allowed to fall on this and ruling state is doing to remove and to demolish our collective memory. this is built on me. this is the only thing that has been has been there since the explosion. and now they're trying to remove that the explosion was an accident waiting to happen. thousands of tons of ammonium nitrate had been sitting in a warehouse for years. investigations that revealed senior government and security officials knew about the dangerous material stored at the port. but the inquiry into who should be held responsible has stalled so far. no one major has saved any consequences. i blame all the warden leaders that now are winning switch in the parliament. i've named everybody who's none going to invest to that investigation.

and everybody is not executing that asked lawrence to continue the investigation. i'm lynn everybody who knew about the ammonium nitrate and didn't do anything about it. we need to know the jews we need to know would this to us and hold them to banks once we hold some one accountable for this crime, nothing else will happen again. it seems likely these green silos won't be the last to fall. the lebanese government is warning more could collapse in the coming days and weeks. further reminders of the devastation of 2020, and of justice and accountability that continues to be denied. vince martin al jazeera. but he's in kosovo of close to border crossings in the countries north of the local subs blocked roads and find shorts of police. the subs are protesting against alder to switch the serbian car license plates to kosovo ones. the european union has urged crossover and serbia to show restraint. i was invited both parties

and then very low interest rates. and inflation, historically, over the last decade has been unusually low. but it seems now that we've ended bad cycle and we're now into a new one and reasonable these people are having problems is because of the on the one hand interest rates are now starting to rise because of inflation and which has been only the oil has been poured on to that fire by the i'm, you know, the pandemic and now the problems with the cranium war against russia and the ripple effect that's happening on monday to which you sent their prices shooting up . and that's fueling more inflation. and of course, in the construction industry, you know, all those draw materials, metal stone, what have you, because there is a gun shooting out. and at the same time, because of this incessant rise in housing prices, this something of a real estate bubble has form where people are knowing that the interest rates are

going to go up. watching house prices going up. people are rushing into buy places, you know, to get ahead of that in order to make money from apple gains. but this could all come to a peak fairly soon and there's a danger that this bubble will pop. because as the inflation goes, the interest rates are starting to go up very fast. central banks, hiking rates, really hard maps, trying kept this inflation. and that's making real estate loans. people are taken out particularly fighting, right? loans, unaffordable. no, i suppose. i mean, if you've got people, many, many people who can't afford to buy ought to rent eventually they going to run out of out of, out of places. i mean, the price prices will have to fall because this does not want to take up this. i want to buy this, this does not want to read. as you say there's, there's going to be a bubble. and that's going to leave. that's going to cause another problem is that people will be left a negative equity. indeed, i'm in here and been in. there's already been demonstrations an hour and a wide cool price caps for rent,

rent caps in order to protect people. and if you've already, if you're lucky enough to already be in a rental agreement, and those prices can only be raised by 3 percent a year irrespective what happens on the market. so any how soon as they have tenants, they get, they get tracked into that and then don't see the increase, but anybody else coming into the market or trying to rent, then they're facing these astronomical prices. and it's very difficult situation. i mean, is that in your book at the moment it needs government intervention because the people at the bottom of side see i getting price on the market and that i have to move out of the cities altogether or they simply won't be able to afford to rent anything inside one of the bigger cities. really good to talk to ben manufacture date, but our staff from intel of use. he's in bullet columbia as president elect has promised to normalize diplomatic relations with neighboring venezuela. after years of tension, gustavo petro will be sworn in on sunday and has announced plans to resume trade
