5:11 am
the fed would back off its aggressive increase of the base rate, given the fact that inflation had e slightly over the last month. but no, the federal reserve chairman made very clear that he was thinking exactly the opposite. his message was stark, his message was clear that interest rates will continue to rise in the months to can possibly as soon as when the federal reserve next meet in september. and by the end of this year or the beginning of next, the interest rate could reach as high as 4 percent. bearing in mind that at each of its last 4 meetings, the federal reserve has increase the rate on each occasion. it's going to have a massive impact on audrey americans who are still struggling to cope with inflation. even though gas prices have gone down, which is something oper relief. but that increase in the interest rate has a role on, in every aspect of life, an increase in the price of cars in the price of mortgages in the cost of rent. so
5:12 am
certainly this is something that would really not be a welcome to buy. the average american india has restricted the export of wheat flour in a bid to slow the rising cost of food. a government bond, the export of wheat itself after a heat wave restricted output earlier this year. now it's stepping in for a 2nd time up natal reports from new jelly. there have been growing concerns about food inflation. now the government has restricted export of wheat flour. it says this will address price rise and insure food security. there has been an increase in demand internationally, india as exports a wheat flour have gone up 4 times since last. still russia and ukraine are the was largest exporters of wheat. the war there has cut off supply and raise prices internationally. obviously on the regular dean's lake view. oh good. so lately use for that a little demon at homes or busy. those are increasing day by day or visit won't be

5:15 am
. if m r in a technology can fight diseases such as cancer, malaria, and h, i v, these lawsuits an opening shot at who gets to protect its future. what's at stake is absolutely huge because, you know, what modern is trying to do is to form a near monopoly of m or in a technology. and that's going to stifle innovation. not just with covert vaccines existing but future generations of cold vaccines and vaccines for influenza, a bowler and other kinds of are emerging infectious diseases that we need to, to tackle. as country is learn to live with the panoramic. that one stop the world . the battle has only just begun over who owns the technology, and who keeps the profit plank got there. i'll dizzier thought i saw break here, not a 0 when we come back. we're on patrol with special forces in ecuador was

5:19 am
a heavily redacted version of the document that helps secure permission to search donald trump's home. it says top secret records will not st goddard at the estate, which was searched on august. the 8th. and u. s. dot markets have fallen sharply off the head of the federal reserve said forceful action would still be needed to combat inflation. jerome power predicted some pain ahead. speaking of the jackson old banking conference in wyoming, now are you in conference on nuclear threats as failed to make any meaningful progress. the 10th review of the nuclear nonproliferation treaty could not agree. on a final declaration, russia blocked a plan, which would have reinforced a treaty curb in the development of nuclear weapons. let's bring in rebecca johnson . she's founding president of i can the international campaign to abolish nuclear weapons and she joins us from the u. n. in new york at rebecca, thank you very much for your time. what's your reaction men to the end p t conference ending in failure and how much of a setback is this for non proliferation and disarmament?
5:20 am
of course, it is very disappointing, but it should not be surprising. the n p t has actually been fading for a long time because it is, are essentially used by the nuclear armed states to reinforce. there are almost the validity that they attached to nuclear weapons. and he, we are taking place, ah, at a time when russia has, as launched an invasion against a ukraine, but also threatened, ah, the use of nuclear weapons, ah, in which deterrence has, has fit, clearly failed. and in which the vast majority of countries here actually want the n p t to tackle nuclear disarmament as well as nuclear risks. okay, dangerous. who take these things? seriously? yeah, that's an important point to make rebecca,
5:21 am
because as i say russia blocked the final agreement, and this won't come as a surprise to many within the nonproliferation community like yourself and see russia perhaps using nuclear threats of leverage and its invasion of ukraine. yes, and i think we have to understand nuclear weapons actually have never deterred conflict. so was, but what we've increasingly seeing and we, we saw it explicitly are referred to in tony blair's memoir, explaining are from, you know, 2004 in the invasion of iraq. that having nuclear weapons allowed him to engage with george bush junior at that point in the invasion on iraq because he saw it as providing freedom of action. now what we've seen this year is that perhaps hiding behind the belief in, in nuclear weapons deterring. president putin, of russia exercised what he thought was going to be freedom of action to
5:22 am
invade only to find that he met with resistance and then came vulgar threat. all right, so so, so where does this now leave the more recent un treaty on the prohibition of nuclear weapons, the t p and w. and how is this different? rebecca from the end, pity was just failed. just briefly. the tpm double users or the 2021 entered into force un treaty on the prohibition of nuclear weapons. actually had its 1st meeting of states parties in june and succeeded in a very hard fought atmosphere, but very strongly committed atmosphere to get a strong declaration. and an an action plan that included the beginnings of the verification regime and our commitments for environmental remediation and support for victims of nuclear use and testing. and
5:23 am
really reinforced the prohibitions on the use of nuclear weapons. the threats of nuclear weapons and the practical prohibitions on all of those activities from working to deploying nuclear weapons to using them that would underpin on any country having that capability. now that treaty is at its start, but it's a modern treaty. it's a fully multi lateral treaty. it treats all govern logos as having a stake in security without nuclear weapons like eliminate a final thought from you because we pushed for time. so away from all the nuclear treaties that you just talked about and that the, the failure of talks, does this now mean the world is much more dangerous place with the failure of this? a review does a well, it is a much more dangerous place because of the existence and possession of nuclear weapons and indeed that they use for, for, for freedom of action by,
5:24 am
by nuclear arms governance the treaty. or that is the failure of the m p t. simply, ah, under scores that we need, new instruments such as the t p n w, and we need to join. we need to get our governments to join an implement the treaties that will actually eliminate nuclear weapons before they eliminate us. rebecca johnson renovated at your source and analysis on this. thank you very much and the rebecca, thank you. no, you and report says journalist something harassed and intimidated in cambodia. the authorities have been accused of restricting the right to free speech on the line for years. well, now the humans human rights officer, the situation for debt, even worse, flush larry report. nina is an agricultural entrepreneur in pen on pen. he never thought he'd go to prison over social media post, but he spent 18 months in jail after being found guilty of incitement for making

5:26 am
including privacy. under the decree, operators must retain and share matter data. there are still quite a few things, not known about the internet gateway. it's exact technical infrastructure, the companies and agencies they'll be supporting it. civil rights group say they are concerned, the gateway will help increase the government censorship capabilities. the government has repeatedly rejected such concerns. the regulation states that the purpose of the gateway is to manage internet connections to protect nash insecurity and strengthen revenue collection group beside that, all in all sectors. the royal government must take care of the national international by the sub decree on establishing the national intern at the gateway . this is the 1st step gap report, the accusers from the service provider so that it is under the control of the government and for revenue. and secondly, when we fight against online crimes and by the directive was originally slated for
5:27 am
implementation in february. but it's been delayed indefinitely due to the pandemic and technical difficulties still with the general election due next year. rights activists are concerned that once it's in place, it will further limit dissenting views. online florence li al jazeera pin on pen. now echoes government has increased its efforts to combat illegal drugs. criminal gangs often use the south american nation as a transit point for international drug trafficking. nonce led to a surgeon violence as our latin america editor, lucy newman reports from blackish. alexandra han yet never knows when the next prison riot will break out. she lives across the street from grey accused. infamous state penitentiary law i. yes, i could stick with that all over the door from over there. you can hear the victim screens, the cries for help. it's terrifying. and when the prisoners explode dynamite, you jump from the bed. i heard you. late last year,
5:28 am
it took police days to enter the penitentiary. after $118.00 inmates were hacked to death and set on fire in a battle between rival drug gangs. ecuador has become a sanctuary to the multi $1000000000.00 narcotics trade. it's run from prisons like this one by local drug lords, but also by international criminal organizations, like albania, is companionable. it's leaders alleged to be controlling the export of tons of cocaine from this ecuador in jail, where he serving a 13 year sentence it all starts here. we went on the patrol with special forces policing gaiety, game violence is soaring. neighborhoods like this one provided with organizations, people who live in poverty and who have little hope of ever finding a dignified job. i able to help criminal organizations from abroad,

5:30 am
made all this possible. abraham caea is kurt laws. the problem is that the narcotics tried, has penetrated politics, has penetrated the administration of justice. that's, i say, we are facing a serious threat on the very stability of the state. i'm in the 2nd dentist. i was never to stop. ah, the government hasn't posted a month long state of emergency in the guayaquil area, but that will clearly be insufficient to address the crisis, much less the social problems that nourish it. you see a newman al jazeera, why a key ecuador nasa was getting ready to mock another milestone for diversity. the leader of its next mission to the international space station will become the 1st native american woman and space center monahan report. nicole man was a veteran fighter pilot before she was selected to join the elite ranks of nasa astronaut. now after 9 years of training, she's fine.
