6:12 pm
. there was we were able to see some on russian media, some recording, some videos of rates being carried out, allegedly detaining those who are behind this attack, who the russians call ukrainian terrorists. i've been talking to some analysts and they're suggesting that those who could be behind this attack could be who they call parts of fans or government supporters carry out gorilla style attacks in crimea, but also it could be special forces so far. the ukrainian government has not confirmed or denied, but anything of this has happened. what's important by crimea, as also, is that russian officials have said that if something happens in crimea, it will trigger a massive retaliation against who crane. and that's why this latest attacks have many people here on the alert and also crimea is a crucial destination. a crucial point that russia use is to supply its lines that attacks on other parts of ukraine. now shipment of ukrainian grain is heading to africa after leaving the black sea ports of odessa is the 1st shipment to the

6:14 pm
dropped due to drought. the number of people now in need of urgent humanitarian assistance has increased from around 4000000 at the start of the year to more than 7000000. our focus is very much on livelihoods. it's providing cash to allow people to buy food to survive. it's about keeping the animals alive with emergency feeding, with of treatments, with water supplies for animals and a drought context, which is super important. the brave commander is heading to djibouti carrying $23000.00 metric tons of wheat that will be transferred to ethiopia, one of 5 countries. the u. s. deems at risk of starvation. ready this is the beginning, we hope of more normal operations. the food of ukraine fed 400000000 people across the world last year. w p purchased 880000 metric tons, and we moved that food to somalia, yemen, ethiopia,
6:15 pm
sudan. the mission comes off to russia, and ukraine agreed to a deal with turkey last month to restart grain deliveries across the black sea. the u. n. ship is the 1st to set sail for africa carrying grain from ukraine. since russia invaded the country, providing much needed relief for those suffering from drought in the horn of africa . gillian wolf, al jazeera, you as president joe biden is set to sign into law a $430000000000.00 climate health and tax build. inflation reduction act is seen as a major win for democrats ahead of mid term elections. it's been called the most consequential climate change legislation ever passed by congress. resorts have been billed as a solution to the rising cost of living. for one of its top priorities is making health care more affordable. the bill it will give medicare the power to negotiate the prices of certain prescription drugs. expiring health care subsidies will be
6:16 pm
extended for 3 years. almost $400000000000.00 in new spending will go towards energy and climate projects to help cut carbon emissions by 40 percent by 2030 or much of the money to funds. the initiatives will come from tax reforms including a new 15 percent minimum tax on large corporations. but their mike, hannah, is live for us from the white house, my cur. how significant is this act then? well, it's probably is the most significant piece sofa. broad legislation passed in the us within generations. it will have a major impact in months and years to come. the administration no doubt as one i to the mid term elections and president biden's plummeting opinion polls seeking to turn around these figures with this type of legislation. but that is a byproduct rather than an intent. one must remark that more than $120.00 of the countries top economists wrote a letter to congress,
6:17 pm
saying that this act would reduce inflation over a period of time, immediate benefits. well, there will be, particularly for people who are on medicare, or they may be paying as much as $800.00 less a year in terms of the it costs, the costs of prescription drugs will drop very quickly and very substantially, but also to look at elements like small businesses now for example, there they are now getting a tax credit extended from a quarter of a $1000000.00 a year to $500.00 to half a 1000000 dollars a year. and that is for research and development costs. so that is just one of the many elements within this bill. what you are also looking at is a significant reduction in the costs of energy. once again, over a period of time, incentives to drive electric cars, incentives. so companies to lose a green energy rather than fossil fuels. now this, the administration says,
6:18 pm
is how it's going to pay for this. it is going to be saving on energy costs. it is going to be taxing huge corporations to put something back into the city. and importantly, it's insistent that anybody who earns under $400000.00 a year all businesses now that some 98 percent of all americans will not pay any increase in tax whatsoever. so on the face of it, it's a deeply significant piece of legislation that could have an immediate impact on many americans lives, but even more strongly will have a long term impact it is hoped on inflation and on the general standard of living at might, you mentioned the mid term elections coming. what are the political implications for joe biden then of this well, this is an uptick, quite honestly, in terms of his political ratings. he has been very low in the polls with the surge inflation, with a rising gas price. but this type of legislation,
6:19 pm
which as administration has been working on since it came into power is aimed partially at increasing those polls. giving americans what they've been asking for . but as i said, that's a byproduct rather than an intent. but that is still going to have a major impact, perhaps at the polls. if before the election takes place, the benefits are beginning to be felt. the drop in the price of prescription medicine, for example, that inflation doesn't rise any further stabilizes. the price of gas remains constant, all drops a bit. not all of these factors will play together in the mid term elections. and certainly that is something that the administration is hoping that at the time that president biden signs the bull in a few hours time. that is going to swing around his political fortunes and those of his party. okay, mark hannah, we'll leave it there in washington, d. c. for us. thank you. and you delegation is in garza where members
6:20 pm
have visited the she for hospital to assess the condition of health care. the group has also signed an agreement with a un relief agency for palestinian refugees in the else i. it has more from gus in last, march. actually the, you know, the european union had plus $206.00 to $1000000.00 to support palestinian refugees in the 5 fills of operation to day to stay there, hearing garza to sign this agreement of support. of course, you know, a more than a $2300000.00 policy refugees in garza alone and in different areas are in it. are supported by raw and on this money is very important, especially in times of a data set that the owner has been facing through the years. also, the delegation is yearning garza to assess the medical crisis that

unemployment. 75 percent of young graduates. imagine that 90 percent of young women and gather below the age of 30, don't find a job and more than 60 percent of young man below 30 find a job. this is not sustainable. and that's the reason why we need to address this, not from a purely real money, cherry, and point of view. but for political aspect, it's indispensable that a political solution be found, and this has 2 angles to it. the 1st of all is to end as soon as possible, the closure and locate of garza to allow gases to freely move to entry and exit completely liberalize so that people can sort of improve their life. the 2nd is a political solution, a solution which allows that is a unified politically credible and democratically elected government off the past year, 30 responses for both the west bank and gaza. and that calls for all phyllis to infection. and it's the leadership to agree on reconciliation and stage election as
