7:06 pm
putting their head in their hands, clearly disappointed with what the jury decided just to give you some perspective. under florida law, it must be unanimous in order to reach the death penalty. and this was not the case according to this jury on one or more of the counts in every single case, there were found to be mitigating factors. and that is how this jury came to the conclusion that nicholas cruz should. in fact, instead they recommend receive life in prison without parole. now the sentencing for nicholas cruz is not set until november. first, the judge of course, we'll make this final decision. but already that is very clear from the body language of the family members in the courtroom, but they're not happy. now. this is a trial that took place over a period of 3 months. there was very graphic testimony at times, and the deliberations themselves took place for 7 hours and stretched over 2 days
7:07 pm
with the 12 person juror. but ultimately, when it came to deciding the fate of the person that committed one of the deadliest mass shootings in u. s. history, it appears that the recommendation by this jury has been life without parole and not the stronger recommendation of the death penalty, which many of the families of the victims had been pushing for. kimberly, how could live without in washington dc. thank you. now nato defense ministers has concluded the summits, as they attempt to find consensus and how to deal with russia and better arm ukraine. secondly, general eons. dalton burge has pledged the allowances for support for keith, with nato putting together a comprehensive assistance package. it's not thought annette. zalinski says ukraine has only about 10 percent of what it needs for its air defenses, and has ruled out diplomatic contacts with russia. and that is quite huge, nate, the will shortly deliver counter drawn equipment to ukraine with hundreds or drawn
7:08 pm
jammers which can help render in the effective russian. and iranian made drones and to protect ukrainian people and critical infrastructure over the longer term, we will also help ukraine to transition from sort era to mod, done nathan equipment. as i said, butler has more now on the summit from brussels. crossing the mood at this nato defense ministers meeting over the past few days has been solemn and determined. we've heard over again from the chief of nato nett yen salton bugs was us defense secretary, that our nato allies are in it for the long haul. they going to support ukraine for as long as it takes that support really takes the shape of stepped up, weapons deliveries to keith, particularly those air missile defense systems. that key says it so desperately needs rushes. the invasion though, and it's nuclear weapons threats of certainly sharpened and focused minds. here,
7:09 pm
as in some nato member states, really looking at their own territorial or security. and that is why are we also saw 14 member states sign a joint agreement to jointly purchase ant missile defense systems to try and ensure their own countries safety. because in the words of the german defense minister, we are living in dangerous times of the impact of the war. and ukraine has been a focus in the imus annual meeting in washington d. c. the head of the international monetary fund has again warned. the risk of a global recession is rising, was to hit will j versus 48 countries have been severely affected by the food shortage is due to the fighting. and many parts of the world are facing an energy crisis, but more on this let speak to alan fisher in washington, d. c. allen. what's the latest on this than in terms of the impact of the board ukraine on the global economy?
7:10 pm
well when you hear from the i m f and also from the world banker having their meetings here in washington this week, the talking grand macroeconomic terms. but the reality is, ordinary people are really struggling because of the financial crisis under struggling to do ordinary things like feed their family and also heat their homes. and this isn't just a thing that's here in the united states. this is globally. and there's acknowledgement by both these organizations that they have to address the issues and fight crystelina. georgia of said that at the and essentially inflation which is impacting most of the world at the moment, is attacks on the poorest. and that is why governments have to target their response and also make sure that it is temporary and they have to act to help those who are struggling the most. no david man, but malpass, who is the head of the world bank, has said something similar. he said, the world bank is always about trying to make sure there's equality, but he sees the median wage drop quite significantly. which means doors in the lower half of those and in wages around the world are finding their wages are going
7:11 pm
down. and that means there's a real problem to do the basic things yet again. when this sort of thing happens, it leads to questions from critics. is capitalism the best way to deal with this? and that's a question i put to i. and course of the wild bank in the last hour when you have these types of multiple crisis. oh dear, is this natural tendency to think about whether there is need for a revolution or a it is and other evolutionary point of view. think about the world bank and intention wanted a fund that had been around for nearly 80 years. these institutions have you all with the evolution of the global economy and they will continue revolving and less, don't forget, these are institutions. vit shareholders, they respond to their shareholders who are the shareholders, the global community, of course we will respond to the demands. we will adjust our work programs
7:12 pm
accordingly. and we will do our best to respond to these multiple crisis. crystelina georgiana is aware that there has never been coming together of such circumstances to buffet the world economy at the same time. there's the residue from corporate 19 and the impact is still having on supply chain. there is the war in ukraine and that specifically is helping fuel food insecurity. she said in her news conference in the last couple of hours that $48.00 countries are experiencing some level of food insecurity. that's 325000000 people around the world. and in many cases, particularly in the horn of africa and this will hail, it is hugely acute, and that means many families don't know where their next meal is coming from. in fact, many haven't eaten today, they won't eat tomorrow,
7:13 pm
and they probably didn't eat yesterday either. and then she talked about the instances like lebanon, where there is a problem there with the banking sector, but that is being killed by political instability. and she really made an appeal saying that it's up to politicians, to put aside their differences, work together for the people know there's the question to of all the climate issues that seem to be mounting at the moment as well. and she acknowledges that there will be use of more carbon fossil fuels over the next year because of the situation in europe, the war and ukraine and how that is going to impact with an energy crisis in europe this winter. but she says there may be a silver lining in that in the countries realize that this is another security issue. and they have to do something about developing a green fuel economy. and so many countries are looking to do that in the years to come. so she's hoping that an issue, at least it's one step back and 2 steps forward. but really, there's not
7:14 pm
a great deal of good news here from the i m f or from the world bank. thanks very much. indeed. the i mess has appeal to lebanon's political class to put people 1st as it grapples with its worst ever. economic crisis is national community has made clear the only way out of the crisis is through a deal with the international monetary fund or conditional agreement on the loan was reached in april resent hold on our reports. politicians have made few steps towards government reforms. lebanon's economic crisis is heading into its 4th year . the state is nearly bankrupt. it can't buy fuel for electricity. infrastructure is falling apart, while institutions struggle to afford basic operating costs own. there's
7:15 pm
a desperate need for hard currency. the international community made clear any funding will only come from the international monetary fund. that means reforming a dysfunctional system blamed on decades of mismanagement and corruption. but there hasn't been political will. the ruling elite doesn't want. and these reforms, because it will undermine the structure of their power at has been going on for 30 years now. the country's leaders have refused to open the books at the central bank. they fail to pass laws to investigate all financial crimes and stop billions of dollars being transferred abroad. instead, the shared interests of the political and financial elite have lead to bank customers, suffering losses and being denied access to their savings. any financial program between the i m, f and lebanon would involve passing structural reforms,
7:16 pm
and anti corruption measures to improve governance that's likely to hurt the interests of politicians accused of using the states for the interest of themselves and their associates. this was once a middle income country, but the local currency has lost value and its financial losses are estimated to amount to $72000000000.00. that is 4 times the size of the economy. officials say they remain committed to the path laid out by the i m f. but there's still no consensus on a recovery plan. major reforms normally economical was, can go on, i would say any, a normal circumstances in lebanon. we need stability on the bill of political living all the while. one of the world's worst meltdowns deepens by the day, seneca, there alger zito battled so the head herald al jazeera. we'll take a look at sweden's experiment to grow what it's called in future proof. great ant
