that that's no where near an accurate figure that the, the actual number is a far larger than that. but for the russians who are coming across, they are allowed to stay in the country for a year. but uncertainty actually awaits them. they don't know how long they can afford it actually stay a more importantly, what awaits them when they do eventually get back to russia. american al jazeera, the lossy border crossing bosnia herzegovina has seen an exodus of young people in recent years. there emigrating to flee, rising ethnic tensions, and search for better opportunities. elections planned for sunday are providing little hope for the younger generation. i said, bay reports from the capital, sarajevo, fletcher, to which i never mentioned his government and she was near seas. tens of thousands of people leave every year. it was but resulting in a decline in population. they both now lay the student,

a poet and an artist overlooking her beloved city of sarajevo. the 17 year old is contemplating, leaving. the political situation in the country is a source of continued frustration. i'm young and i may not know a lot, but from what i hear and what i see is that everything is corrupted. pot politicians are not fair. we have the same politicians for years or 30 years and like come on, dont we need something new, something way better. at this local school, young people are learning a new language. they say it so they can leave and go to germany or austria in the run up to the elections. there's been increased tension and talk of a renewed conflict. is always there is a talk of war for the last 30 years, even after we had the war. so it's always something that comes up in the elections

and the speeches of our politicians. so everything is about hatred, religion and wars. others don't want to leave for them, staying as an act of loyalty. my mother lost her leg for the state. michael half of my family lost their lives, but were body parts and so on. for me to have the privilege to stay in this country . and how can i be a cupboard to leave her when they have the courage to stay? but many young people are leaving politics, the economy and the lack of opportunities are driving people out was there has a complicated political system that came about after the war in the ninety's is divided on ethnic lines, bosnian serbs and croats. but many young people say the system doesn't work and they don't see any chance of change. the financial impact of immigration or the economy is concerning. some our country lose us up till 800000000 heroes, annually of money invested in education of young people who studied here,

pound, that reversed earlier losses on thursday. prime minister list trust, defended government economic plan, a cause the chaos on financial markets. earlier in the week, investors have been worried about the scale of borrowing needed to fund the chancellor quasi quoting tax cuts. and what we've done is we've taken decisive action, 1st of all, to make sure that nobody is paying more than a typical fuel bill of $2500.00 pounds. that will come in this saturday, but also to reduce our tax burden. to make sure we graded the economy and also curve inflation. and that's so important. it's a difficult time. it we're facing a global economic crisis brought about by putin's worn ukraine. and what was right is that britain took decisive action to help people get free. what is going to be a difficult winter? david headache is the director of the u. k. trade policy project. he explains why

the bank of england had to intervene in the bond mark. there are finished u. k. guilt market. that's the, the government bonds were the yield rights, our interest rates were going up. and that's what the bank of england had to step in to stop. because that affected a lot of pension funds based in london for fairly complex financial reasons as to why. but it may well have rendered some u k pension funds insolvent, and that may well of how to knock on effect of the assets. so there is some concern that the, unless the u. k. situation is stable because london financial market is so important . there may be knock on effects and they're a little bit unpredictable as little as we learned in 2000 night. not entirely clear what assets of being traded were. so the book, as far as the i'm, ethics is concerned. this needs to be stabilized then quickly. they want to take action, and arguably the issue is being they've taken to mark jackson,

they took action to stabilize energy prices, which were looking like they could, you know, go incredibly high level people couldn't afford. but at the same time, they pushed through some fiscal changes, and those have been controversial. those looks set to deepen the current account deficit, which was already a little bit worrying. and i think that was seen is not particularly credible by the market. so there is more than one thing going on here as the backdrop of a few years of political instability. so quite a lot going on. and what you could government needs to do is to read, refine, restore its credibility, that it is a good actor that london is a safe financial center and was still in that sense of instability. uncertainty as to what comes next. a demonstrators in france are protesting, high living costs, pension reforms, and president emmanuel, my calls, policies, trade unions, cold for a 24 hour strike, demanding higher pay for their workers. natasha bought low reports from paris.

finance our social protection system. this is there been a number, a small approach as and strike save the rising cost of living in france over the past few months. but this one is by far, the not just with workers from across the public sector and want trading and says, unless their demands are met, it will not be the last. and that is, the point of this strike today is not in it. so i hope it is going to be the sort of an absurdity in the coming winter, or strikes and resistance all across the different. we're been friday. french present in my new macro has wanted to reform the pension system since his 1st term, but pushing it through now is clearly a risk at a time when so many people feel that they live hard enough. natasha butler, al jazeera paris us president joe biden is pushing for closer ties with nations in the pacific islands. as china extends its influence in the region. his
