warnings from the eye mask that the global economy risk sliding into recession next year, blaming factors including the war, new crane inflation on china's 0 coven policy. ah, hello, i'm on inside. this is our desert lie from day. oh, so coming up, the u. s. says us reevaluating its relationship with saudi arabia, off to the opec plus decision to shop li caught oil output energy ministers meet to find ways of dealing with soaring gas prices. i'm reach agreement despite shop divisions and nasa says it's dod spacecraft, which successfully knocked an asteroid off the top. it is a watershed moment for humanity.

ah hello and welcome. the international monetary fund is painting a bleak picture of the global economy, the worn ukraine rising prices and interest rates have all taken their toll, but the worst may be yet to come, as well as 3 largest economies. the u. s. e and china continued to stool. according to the i'm f, latest report, global economic growth fell from 6 percent and 2020 want just over 3 percent this year. and it's expected to fall to 2.7 percent by next year. let's look at china who's economy is full cost to grow just 3.2 percent this year, which is a dramatic fall from 8 point one percent last year. the i'm f all say slashed. it's

outlook for growth in the united states to 1.6 percent this year. that's down from a july full cost of 2.3 percent. while the collective economy at the 19 countries that share the euro currency is expected to grow 3 point one percent. this year, but by 2023, that forecast has been slashed to just half a percent. meanwhile, the i m f also raise concerns about inflation with the rates soaring to 8.8 percent this year. but it is predicted to start coming down slowly to about 6.5 percent next year. and on fisher begins are coverage for my math headquarters in washington dc. it's a dark time for the global economy. from all over the world, delegates and representatives are in washington to be told what many already know economically, things are bad and they're going to get worse. the global economy continues to face steep challenges, shaped by 3 powerful forces, the russian invasion of ukraine. the cost of living crisis caused by persistent and

broadening inflation pressures. and the slow down in china, inflation is biting economies around the world, making it harder for ordinary people to do ordinary things, like feed their families or warm their homes. the i m f says the reasons are many under complicated, but strict covered locked downs and china has had growth there and impacted the global supply chain. there are several climate emergencies under russia's war in ukraine, which has hit food supplies and caused an energy crisis. this winter in europe is described by the i m f is challenging, but warns next winter will be worse when it comes to the cost of living crisis. the way to go is to provide targeted support to the most vulnerable households and firms. rather than a very general support, which would just make things even more difficult. it's not hard to find economic trouble sports, lebanon, with political up people in the banking sector crisis. so lanka with double digit

economic slump and huge debts or pakistan were massive. floods have wreaked havoc. this is the 1st in person gathering for the international monetary fund in 3 years . but facing the biggest coming together of economic security and climate challenges. since the 2nd world war, there's an acceptance that this can be business as usual. allen fisher al jazeera at the i m f. annual meeting in washington. hutchings folk is in beijing with more, china's projected slide m. well, as the saying goes, when china sneezes the world catches a cold, that's certainly the case for emerging and developing asia where the i m f, has so forecasted to decline and growth from 7.2 percent and 2021 to 4.4 percent in 2022, that's a downgrade of 0.2 percent. since july, it large reflects the downgrade to growth in china to 3.2 percent for this year to the countries slowest to growth rate and more than 4 decades. if you exclude the

initial outbreak of the coven, 19 crisis in 2020, and the i m. f is singled out to the slow down in china as being a key challenge for the global economy. frequent curve and 90 locked dance across the country of taken that so crimping, local demand, and causing significant supply chain disruptions. it's also deep into decline in proven sales. and paul, the quality pressures on developers buy is concerned about the delivery of residential units and boycotting mortgage payments, threatening sector, which accounts for one 5th of china's g, d p. they're also fears the spillover into the banking sector, which could weigh on medium, some growth. now the i met is recommending authorities, a neighbor restructuring of troubles developers, so to avoid any broader risk to the financial system. and all eyes will no doubt be

on the upcoming communist party congress for clues on how the country intends to navigate. it's way out of the coven 19 crisis. well, nigeria is one of those countries feeling the bronx, if the war in ukraine, even before russia's invasion, the humans welled feed program, had to count supplies by 50 percent. jeter funding shortfall, amid address reports from port hawkins. and then also the country you are, most of the grain is produced, prizes have remain high despite you harvest here in this how food is even more it's posted is i really go you that a ha, i come to a virus on monday, our budget for their eyes a bit in go have with fill out the go button and i did is are bracing for more price increases in coming months because i just cultural production has been impacted by flooding at what lies a shortage and because the country doesn't define its own petroleum products,

the why ukraine are forced up the prices of fuel on transported elsewhere doctors without borders is reporting large cases of new treatment in the northwest of the country impacted by years of attacks. quite criminal objects in the lease of the country. bottom insurgency, 13 years of luck with millions of people in need of food assistance. just as gordon optics. the governor of the u. k. central bank has ruled out extending an emergency bond buying intervention for pension funds. the measure came off to the new british governments. many budget bro calles to financial markets and saw the pound plunge before covering. well, the instability bought alarm over the possible impact on pension funds. i think of england governor andrew bailey is warned investors they have just 3 days before the emergency intervention and message to the funds involved in all the firms and

bolted bunch those funds. you've got 3 days left. now you've got to get this done. because again, part of the essence, so i think it will financial stability. intervention is that it is clearly temporary. the united states as its reevaluating its relationship with re add after the saudi led opec plus group decided to steeply count oil production. the organization of petroleum exporting countries announced that decision last week, despite us opposition. the white house, as president joe biden is willing to work with congress office, sent us a call for a freeze on corporation. sounds like from the beginning of the administration since taking office. the president has been very clear that united states need to need a different sort of relationship with saudi arabia. he has said that from very early on. and i have said this last week when opec made the decision to align their energy policy with russia's war and war aims and against the american people.

further underscore is that reasoning to realign that relationship to reevaluate that relationship with saudi arabia. we are reviewing where we are currently right now and will be watching closely over the coming weeks and months as well. or kennedy, hell, cat has more from the white house. well, this is something that has really been concern for many on capitol hill for some time the us saudi relationship, as there has been concern about particularly the issue of human rights. and so this is something that many members of congress, not just from the opposition republican party, but also from the president's own democratic party, have been urging the white house to do not just divide and ministration, but also the trumpet ministration for many years to reevaluate this relationship and so this is something that as we've been reporting the national security both

1st and john kirby says, is now something that the white house is willing to look at. a given the fact that the president did travel to saudi arabia a recent month did feel that he had a good conversation with the saudi current principal, haven't been solomon, but they're not happy with the fact that now there has been decision this decision by opec to in fact, cut production and so there's a number of reasons why the white house is not happy about this decision. and one of the big reasons is that there is a congressional election that is coming up in just a matter of weeks. in fact, in november, and this is really seem to benefit the president's political adversaries here in the united states. hi, the energy prices really are not good for the president politically. and so that's one reason that this white house is not happy about this. but the other reason the white house is not happy about this is that the fact that this is really seen is aligning with russia. russia's president has praised the decision by opec plus to

sharply cut back on oil production. vladimir putin was speaking at a meeting with the leader of the united arab emirates manager with you're actively working in the framework of open, close our decisions. our action aren't directed against anyone. we are and acting to create problems for anyone. our actions are aimed to entrust to built in global energy markets. meanwhile, russia has continued to launch missiles at several regions of ukraine, including the southeast and city of zap at asia. ukrainian officials say at least one person was killed off to 12 missiles hit the city on tuesday. and they were attacks in the western city of la viv, which have caused blackouts. the you and says russia may have committed war crimes with it strikes the cross ukraine on monday, which killed at least 19 people injured. more than 100 all the capital key was

among the cities targeted for the 1st time in months. but while people there on nervous life today is getting back to normal worry challenge reports gives residents are jumpy. and now, the day after the worst russian air strike since the beginning of the war, many of taking the air raid warnings more seriously last week, most would have ignore the sirens. on tuesday morning, the metro was filled with people taking shelter. i got scared because we didn't think it will happen again in the downtown. it is terrorism. you understand that you are not safe at home, even if there are no infrastructure objects nearby to off and basement will not save. you want to people in key of to as soon as the all clear is given easy coffee in the sunshine, anton runs 1900 coffee and central key. if for him opening as soon as he can is a duty to his employees, his customers, and his country option, which of us

a little. why is this important question when we are responsible for those work for us in the business must keep working our regular guest keep coming to us even during the last 2 days, or daughter or whatever. but also we continue to pay taxes and contribute a part to the countries budget a year. if we all close, it seems to me we will no longer be able to sign on contract and help me to liberate the country. today to show when there's more than one for ukraine's governments getting back to normal as quickly as possible, is a vital part of the war effort. electricity must be restored, glass cleared, and missile craters filled. everything that is being destroyed will be rebuilt. the president landscape says, well, look at this in the section where several people were killed on monday. the repair work is already well underway. resilience is defiance and defiance ukrainians believe. well when the war re challenge out is era. here g 7 leaders have met in a virtual meeting to discuss. they unwavering commitment to ukraine in president

laws. ms. lansky has asked the group to supply keys with defense. weapons is described as has number one priority to recent russian strikes. so head on out is an embarrassing boda deal between lebanon and israel, the page the way vital gas exploration. and the final stretch for one football fan walking from madrid. well and hallo! we've got some wet, windy and cold weather streaming out of central parts of canada. this bank of cloud here, sliding out of alberta down across the scotch. one will continue to drive his way across the northern plains of the us, cold air coming in behind. you can see how the ice

a bother generally in an orderly direction, so i really will turn cold as we go through the next couple of days i celsius. therefore winnipeg is a 15, therefore minneapolis where to weather just around the laced down across the central plains down was a deep south, some big foundry showers coming through here. at 15 in minneapolis turns into 8. by the time we come to thursday, coal blast continuing, dreaming down across the other of the plains where to where the rabbits wards the eastern seaboard, new york or grassy say some very wet weather as we had towards the weekend. but bryce guys, coming back in behind ish, lottie, settle, still warm and also sunny. that sunshine makes its way down to were not the parts of the mexico to the south of that. the remnants of julia now in the process of pulling off shore. never little system just around the back can patchy fitting some wet weather cars, southern parts of mexico over the next couple of days and big samples coming through here a scattering a shout into central america elsewhere. miss lottie finance. sonny

ah, with ah ah ah,

welcome back, you're watching out, is there a mind just auto stories the style international monetary fund is painting a bleak picture of the global economy amid the worn ukraine on the cost of living crisis. scott is gray full cost of 2023, saying that next year we're feel like a recession for many. president biden is taking off a process of re evaluating and potentially altering u. s. relationship with saudi arabia. often, decision last week, decide with vladimir putin and count will production. russia has continued to launch missiles with several regions of ukraine, including the se in the city is up. patricia, ukrainian officials say at least one person was killed off to 12 missiles. if the city on tuesday, russian foreign minister sag elaborate says his country will not turn down a meeting between president vladimir patient and joe biden. it comes ahead of this . he has g 20 summit from the indonesian island of bali next month to lead as hell

their last face to face meeting our summit in geneva last year. how much vol. as in moscow with more leverage comments, he basically said, russia well comes any suggestion or invitation for a meeting between president of loud to me to put in president joe biden. but he also said that he doesn't know where that will lead, and this is in the context of russia, you know, recently talking about the ghost ations, but you know, has its conditions because president lodge will put in on september 13th when he find the decree of annexation of the 4 regions of nathan ukraine, he said we also invite ukrainians for for negotiations. but they have to know that they should forget about any negotiations on the territories that we have just next . so russia might be ok for talks, but it has its tough conditions. and the west, i understand, would not be willing to, to not negotiate those next regions,

because it doesn't recognize that annexation. we understand that the president vladimir putin in the next couple of days we'll meet with his turkish counterpart, but played one in cut off time. and we know the turkish leaders have always been trying to create an atmosphere of dialogue, or for dialogue between russia and the west. and russia, of course, considers that this, this fight. and this struggle is not between russia and ukraine. it is between russia and the west. so any negotiations, any negotiations between russia and the western leaders, is welcome for the russians, because they don't even recognize the importance or the utility of talking directly to the ukrainian leadership. you allergy menaces all meeting in prague to find ways to tackle sky high gas prices. 15 members of the european union want the price of wholesale gas to be kept to cross the block. they don't want richer countries in

europe to be able to buy gas at higher prices. those wanting a cap se would help curb prices before more expensive gas applies, come on the market reaching power plants and drive up electricity bills. the price cap proposal is based on $3.00 ideas, setting a limit on the cost of russian gas imports. negotiating a low, a gas price with all the supplies and establishing a ceiling on the price of gas used to generate electricity. some e m m estates disagree with the price cap plan pushing full tentative options including a limit on gas consumption and subsidy packages, businesses and consumers. step boston is in prague where winter is approaching and many a concern that financial help will come to late got the, the mental back of i could not believe her energy bill from 160 dollars one month. it went up to $700.00. the next she managed to change provider,

but still has to pay nearly half her salary to the power company, but of just my school. so i will try to go to the welfare office and see if i can get some housing allowance. maybe they can help me out. we have to pass phone balls and food is so expensive to. this is all taken me by surprise. i don't know what to do, mamma, telephonic, but you must with temperature dropping. anger is growing. check trade unions won't lead us to find solutions. i think the leader of europe must looking for some common approaches because it's for us, i'm accepted to have to europe in unit one for the, for the wars countries, one form reach of countries. i think that if you want to have the future for european union, you must looking for some come on approach for all but agreement has yet to be reached on how to reduce the price of gas at last week's use summit. and proc the $27.00 lead us we made divided. one of the matches you managed to agree on is to

cause energy consumption by 15 percent like other european cities. brock has decided to stop illuminating some of its famous monuments, but everyone agrees more far reaching measures needed. and especially in the east and the south of europe, there's a real push for a price gap on gas. the countries are discussing the forms a price gap could take some want a maximum price to be set for all gas. but a compromise could be in the work how to remit infected on the gas, on the electricity prices we sold. and this is extremely important. pushing up the consumption. and so we have to find solution, which is basically which works, which will the collision, the features, the prices, but on the other side we stick. so the commitment, we have to resumes the cost consumption. because in the case of seo into dark, the can be your like of gas, whatever the answers, the

e you comes up with. all that a, that know fuck of our ones is lowell power bills as soon as possible. steadfast on al jazeera proc the nasa rocket that smashed internationally 2 weeks ago has done its job in not the space object off. it's all bit signed to say give some higher. they can still potentially deadly collisions if the intergalactic kinds us and jordan has the story. as now, says, dart spacecraft homed in on the asteroid to more photos, 11000000 kilometers from earth darts, creators held their breath and crossed their fingers impact. but it took another 2 weeks to learn whether dart had indeed had it started on tuesday at nasa . officials announced the good news for the 1st time. ever. humanity has changed the orbit of a planetary body of a planetary object. first time ever darts collision with the asteroid,

shortened its orbit around another asteroid by 32 minutes far more than the 70. 3 seconds predicted. nasa's administrator says this kind of cosmic shove could protect the earth and its inhabitants from the kinds of meteors that wiped out the dinosaurs 65000000 years ago. now this is a watershed moment for planetary defense and a watershed moment for humanity. and that's why it was fitting that dart was an international endeavor science benefits humanity. this is a unifying mission. building, spacecraft that can intercept asteroids won't offer enough protection. scientists say they need better ways of figuring out which space objects might be a threat in the 1st place. the more time we have for that little nudge in the,

in the change in that or will orbital period to really make a change. the better off we are, sorry to say they have lots of data to review and they'll use those insights to help them knock asteroids out of earth way. rosalyn, jordan, l g 0. well, thomas s statler is that program scientist at nasa's planetary science division. he says the successful test test will help the space agency develop future technology . the results of the test really were in accord with what we're expecting. what we're doing is beginning to develop a technology that could one day be used to deflect an asteroid. if we ever need to, in this 1st test, we didn't know what the structural properties were of the asteroid that we were targeting dimorphic. it might have been a solid rock. it might have been a fractured rock. it might have been a pile of debris. and so we had a wide range of expectations for what might happen. what did happen is we got

a big splash of what we call ejector. that gave a good push to the asteroid. it was the upper end of what we were expecting, what we were hoping for, but this result is absolutely fantastic because it does give us confidence that this technique could be useful in the future if we ever need it. lebanon, israel have reached agreement on that to speech and maritime borders being held as a historic dale and will enable new energy sources to be exploited. while the 2 countries have reached an agreement, as explained, ben as smith has the details from west jerusalem. israel government says this is an historic deal with 11 on. it says it'll strengthen israel, security people, billions of dollars into israel economy. i didn't show the stability of israel's border with lebanon. engineers are already testing the pipe that will eventually extract a gas from its kurdish oil field to israel,

mainland. and i hope that in about 3 weeks time, once those tests are completed, they can begin to pump gas. the deal have to go before israel security cabinet. it'll meet on wednesday, and then there are a couple of potential legal and parliamentary hurdles to jump once they've been cleared. and i hope to be able to sign the deal with the lebanese for elections here in israel. on november the 1st whether they manage to meet that deadline or not. it's still a significant diplomatic victory for israel's prime minister jala pete. he is signing a deal with what is still considered an enemy country. the 1st time that israel signed any sort of agreement with lebanon, and he'll be hoping to exploit that in the run up to the elections. it also for israel, significant and important at 11 on april, is able to start exploiting or looking for its own gas and oil reserves in its own territorial waters. because potentially if they find anything, then that will reduce lebanon's reliance on iran for few st. holidays and favorites

with more in the story. lebanon's, president michelle says the draft of the u. s. media to deal on a maritime border with israel is satisfactory. and that lebanon's demands have been met some officials or even calling it a historic agreement. and that the most powerful political and military actor in this country has the law is behind the deal. because the secretary general of the group has repeatedly said that it will support the position of lebanon top leadership. now, no doubt this deal will bring economic benefits to a country in financial ruin. if this country is in dire need of hard currency, international companies will now begin the drilling and exploration process in the past. they refused to do so without security guarantees, without the maritime borders deal really in place. this morning, a delegation from the french energy giant total. they were in beirut, that they met the caretaker, prime minister. and as you may 80,

and they're expected to begin work as soon as this deal is signed, but as well get security guarantees. lebanon has economic benefits, but there's also a 3rd party here, and that is, europe. europe is in desperate need for gas. after losing supplies from russia over the war in ukraine, no doubt gas from israel is not going to fill the gap, but it will help help with europe's energy crisis. and it's really one of the reasons why it is believe the united states was really pushing for this major diplomatic breakthrough. a spanish football fan is into the last weeks of his journey, walking to cat how well camp all the way from madrid. santiago sanchez is now in a rock after setting off 10 months ago. he walked between 15 and 30 kilometers the day with a trailer attached to his waist containing all his belongings and food. sanchez says he's been made welcome.
