russian side. us defense secretary lloyd austin, spoke after the native meeting. he warned against what he called russia's nuclear sabre rattling, made oh polls is no threat to russia and seeks no confrontation with russia. but our defensive alliance will, as it always has protect every inch of middle territory. maidens preeminent task has not changed to defend each and every allied sovereignty enter authorial integrity. and america remains profoundly committed to but task into our nato allies. and to article far natasha, butler has more on the summit from brussels. crossing the mood, at least nato defense ministers meeting over the past few days, has been solemn and determined. we've heard over again from the chief of nato. net

yet, stuart and bugs was us defense. secretary, that our nato allies are in it for the long haul. they're going to support ukraine for as long as it takes, and 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 russians. the invasion though, and it's nuclear weapons threats of certainly sharpened and focused at mines here. as in some nato members, they to 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 air 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. the impact of the war and ukraine has been a focus in the ins, annual meeting in washington, d. c. the head of the international monetary fund has again warned. the risk of a global recession is rising. crystelina,

georgia over says 48 countries have been severely affected by food shortages due to the fighting. and many parts of the world are facing an energy crisis of more on this that speak to alan fisher in washington d. c. allen. what's the latest on this in terms of the impact of the war? ukraine on the global economy? well, just seen the crystelina. georgie of a shuttling into yet another meeting and that has been what has been happening over the last 3 days here in washington, d. c. she is going essentially from room to room speaking to people hammering the same message. there is a confluence of events which is hitting the global economy. it stems from corporate 19 residue, where some of the supply chains are still being affected. that is the climate crisis that is causing a great deal of problems in many places around the world, from pakistan to the united states. then there is the cost of living crisis with inflation high, all around the world and the very real prospect that

a 3rd of the world's economies will be experiencing a recession in the next year. and she's aware that when you talk about the impact that inflation has, it is in her was a tax on the poorest in society. and she wanted governments and financial institutions like central banks to make sure that when they are working out solutions to try and help those of the people the concentrate on most. and so she is saying that any help has to be temporary, but it has to be targeted. and perhaps then there might be some stability in the financial markets. but when you got this level of people, there are people who are concerned that perhaps capitalism as exposed by the world bank and the i, m f, is not the way ahead. that is the question that i put to ion course. one of the senior figures at the world bank when you have these types of multiple crisis, there is this natural tendency to think about whether there is need for

a revolution or it is another illusionary point. when you think about the world bank and the intention to fund, they have been around for nearly 80 years. these institutions have evolved with their will lucian, of the global economy. and they will continue evolving. and let's don't forget the is our institutions vit shareholders. they respond to the shareholders who are the shareholders, the global community. of course we will respond to the demands. we will adjust our work programs accordingly. and we will do our best to respond to these multiple crisis. crystelina georgi geneva has also been talking about the impact that the war in ukraine is not just in europe, but also on the global supply chain for food. and she pointed out the 40 countries are experiencing some level of food insecurity. and that affects 328000000 people.

now there are areas of africa where that is much more acute. you're talking about the horn of africa and the so hill and they're, they're having real issues. and she says that obviously has to be addressed by the international community. and then she talked about lebanon as well, saying that the politicians really have to set aside their differences and come together and try and sort out some sort of political solution because it is impacting financial stability as well as we've seen with the bank in crisis. and we know that the war in ukraine is also leading to increases in fossil fuels in europe this winter because there will be heating crisis. she thinks us just one step back . but the, the world economy is about to take 2 steps forward with the greening of energy. she says many countries know, realize just how important energy security is. and that green energy may be the answer in the long term. so she school full on that one point of view, but she is very aware how much ordinary people are being impacted by this squeeze

that is on all around the world at the moment. and that was echoed by david mel. pastors, the head of the world bank. he also held a news conference here in washington. and the last couple of hours, he said that the median wages are going dying. people in the lower half of the income bracket around the world are finding that their wages aren't rising an ongoing as far as they did before, and that means a real struggle for them. so the while bank and the international monetary fund are hoping that all organizations around the world will concentrate on helping those most, that read the most that need and most at risk. and thanks for that update. a russian president vladimir putin has proposed setting up original gas hub inter kia, he's attending a summit in kazakhstan to discuss shoring up global energy supplies. he held a meeting with the turkish leader to so if there is an interest from took here and are potential buys in other countries, we would consider the possibility of building another gas pipeline system and

creating a gas health inter kia for sales to 3rd countries, primarily of course, to european loans, if they're of course interested in this, the work of this hub, which we could create together, would be a platform, not just for supplies, but for determining the price to. because this is a very important issue. today the prices are exorbitant and we could regulate them at a normal market level without political overtones. more than 500 people have died in nigeria is worst flooding in a decade. on usually heavy rains lead to the destruction of tens of thousands of homes. the governance is starting errol assessments of one of the worst hit areas in a number state. thousands of people are trapped in remote communities and at least at 1400000 are displaced. augment address is at an id p camp in mary in another state in nigeria. thousands of people are still unreachable by emergency workers simply because the areas are so dangerous to go to or the

water levels is so high that they can't access these, these areas, right. the way we are is a charts premise, the premises of the charge, such as hosting dozens of people who have been displaced by the flood. where you can see their water is being distributed to this people. when we spoke to capital fissures, walk for the church, actually they're telling us they haven't seen an official, and they haven't received any formal aid from the government or its agencies. yeah, you know, number is still on the federal level. so a lot of people. yeah. sitting, waiting and waiting and waiting for officials to show up with even the barest of minimum of supplies that they can sort of help themselves to. now if we, if i move out of the picture and becoming a house that way over there is the community kitchen why the dinner is being

prepared. we understand that it's dinner launch combined with just 2 hours to sunset. that means that some of these people who i hear what i get here actually do not even have lunch, not to talk about the food that will come up to model agirri in florida has recommended life in prison without parole. the parkland school shooter, chris cruz had pleaded guilty last year to killing 14 students and 3 stuff out of school in 2018. the case is a dead list mass shooting to reach the jury trial in the united states. with more on this that speak to. kimberly, how can, who's following the trial from washington, d. c. kimberly, what was the reaction to this in court there? well, the reaction from a number of the victims families was shock and disbelief. there was really a feeling of disappointment from many family members who had hoped that nicholas cruz would receive the death penalty and when it was clear that the jury was

recommending life without parole for nicholas cruz. there was enormous disappointment. some of the family members have reacted saying that they believe this is now almost a lack of a deterrent for others to commit similar mass murders and that other people may even be encouraged. as a result of this recommendation by the jury, we should point out though that this is not yet a sort of a done deal. there is still the sentencing to take place on november 1st, but this recommendation is heavily taken into consideration by the judge when that occurs. now, just to give you some context, this was a trial that took place over a number of weeks, 12 were proximately. and throughout this, the prosecution made the case that this was a premeditated planned mass shooting by nicholas cruz. but his defense attorneys

made the case that in fact, he was a victim himself, that his mother had consumed alcohol. well, he was in the womb and as a result, he had suffered brain damage and really was not responsible for the crimes he committed. and that was, had an impact on the jury, and these were the so called mitigating factors that led to their decision. and so as a result, it is life without parole for nicholas cruz as at least that is the recommendation . again, the sentencing to take place on november 1st for nicholas cruz for this rash shooting. that is one of the deadliest in us history. henry house in washington dc . thank you. was had a head on al jazeera, we tell you why the international monetary fund is urging lebanese politicians to put people 1st. and we meet a member of the american team playing in the catalyst street child with

with hello, the weather is largely set fare across middle east with pleasant sunshine, not too hot. now things turning while the more pleasant as we go through the coming days farther north was a little more cloud though, some where to weather just around the caspian sea, which was the black sea. so we will see some showers just coming into georgia as a badge on seeing some my wet weather as well in western parts of to care could also see some showers longest, both of rank. what a brisk wind sliding across the phosphorus they're down towards. the aegean and some lively showers, blustery showers, they're just a cassette eastern side of the mediterranean, but several the levant, generally fine and dry and across the raven peninsula. find it dry temperatures. skinny up to 37 here in a dough high with plenty of sunshine. good deal of sunshine across much of north africa, the showers up towards the northwest tending to ease off now. but the showers,

the wet weather continuing around the gulf of guinea nigeria particular struggling with flooding. more big down poles coming in here over the next couple of days. notice how those showers run into gonna ease a little further westwards in the coming days, johnny got me. the shower was just around. cameroon, just around gabon, started to see the shower slide a little further southwards, over the next day, or 2, much southern africa is dry and 5, but it will turn increasingly wet for south africa. ah, it's time for a memorable holiday with pegasus. it's time for turkey. set sail for new discoveries, enjoy. have new experiences. hit the shops, make wonderful memories. travel to turkey with pegasus, and with direct flights to istanbul and tribe's own book your ticket now for

a decade. the government is conducting operations to rescue thousands of stranded people after floods blocked roads and destroyed villages. the i m. f has appealed to lebanon's political class to put people 1st, as it grapples with its worst ever economic crisis. these national community has made clear the only way out of the crisis is through a deal with the international monetary fund. a conditional agreement on a loan was reached in april, but as they know how to reports, politicians have made a 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. it's falling apart while institutions struggle to afford basic operating

there's 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 the management and corruption. but there hasn't been political will to ruling any, doesn't want to reform because it to undermine the structure of their power that 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 stuff, billions of dollars being transferred abroad. instead, the shared interests of the political and financial elite have led 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, and anti corruption measures to improve governance that's likely to hurt the interests of politicians accuse of using the state for the interests 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 reform normally economic was, can go on with any on normal circumstances 11, we need stability on the political level. all the while one of the world's worst meltdowns deepens by the day. then the elders ita bailed. iraq's parliament has just elected a new president 78 year old curtis politician abdullatif machine once served as

a minister for water resources. u. k. educated engineers appointments ends months of deadlock. rock had already made 3 failed attempts this year with that and you had to state the country has witnessed a month for political deadlock of the powerful leader. titles father emerge last year as the biggest winner in apartment tree vote. but he failed to the valley. enough support to form a government or the one that has more now from bank that iraq's parliament has elected latifah. she'd as the next president of the republic, rashid has won 162 votes against 99 for his contender, incumbent president. but hm saw that rashid, a senior advisor of the president and former minister of water resources after he was sworn in. he's assigned the a prime minister, designate ma, how much he asked would any to name his council of ministers to form

a government within 30 days. and that is, by virtue of the constitution, how much he acts with any was nominated for prime minister by the pro iranian parliamentary block, known as the coordination at free work. now the nomination of sir, yes. with any is so controversial because it was behind the political at upheaval and violence between supporters of the arrival of parliamentary blocks over the past few months is really forces have arrested 25 palestinians during raids in different parts of the occupied west bank in the past. 24 hours, the palestinian prisoners club says that most of the detainees are from the occupied, the east jerusalem area, and its suburbs. the u. s. house select committee, which is investigating last year's capitol hill riot, is holding its final public hearings. the attack on january the 6th forced members of congress to evacuate, and temporarily stop them from confirming president jo biden's victory. final

hearing is set to present more evidence relating to former president donald trump's attempts to overturn the 2020 election or join. now from capitol hill by heidi joe castro. so heidi, what can we expect here, harry? at 1st a reminder, you know, those visceral images we saw on january 6th of last year when violent protest hooked to the heart of the capital, making congress people fleet. what we didn't see what the world didn't see at that moment was donald trump's presence here at the capitol hill. but we'll, we'll learn today's just how close that image almost came to being fulfilled. the committee is narrowing on that moment on january 6th, after tom had given a speech, a few blocks from here, and his desire to drawing his supporters here after he knew they had already taken violent measures to breach the capital. he never made it this far. why, because secret service that was protecting him stopped him from coming and because

his advisors knew what a catastrophic image that would be, an american president seemingly leading a violent qu in that moment will trump never made it to the steps. but according to communications among the secret service agents, he came very close. that's something we've heard about from previous witnesses to day that timeline and trump state of mine will be flushed out even further. because the secret service has been forced to turn over 1500000 documents related to their logistics and their communications from january 6. and another thing expected today . no live witnesses, but there is plenty of th testimony, possibly from a former cabinet secretary elaine chao, who was among those who resigned in protest of trumps handily of january 6th. another interesting thing will be possibly we'll learn more about how the wife of a supreme court justice played

a role in all of this. we're talking about jeannie thomas, who is the wife of the very conservative, conservative clarence thomas. and she was texting trumps white house on january 6th, actively encouraging white house staff to take illegal measures to overturn the 2020 election results. now she was not taped during her closed door testimony because of a deal. she struck with the committee, but we will likely find out more of what she shared with committee members. and why that matters right now kerry is because her husband justice clarence thomas is a sync. could single handedly decide whether or not the justice department can continue investigating trump. in another case, the one where he is accused of taking classified documents from the white house and keeping it at his private residence. well trumps team has appealed to the supreme court, namely to clarence thomas, thomas himself, to decide whether or not that investigation can continue as is happening now. so

a lot is at stake, a lot is happening. but the committee's true challenge here today is to re focus americans attention on why this matters with their argument that trump is true. we'll try to overturn the election that he still poses a risk to american democracy. hardy, thanks for that. from capitol hill. north korea says it's a test fire to cruise missiles, which are capable of carrying tactical nuclear weapons. either kim at johnson says, the launch it proves that north korea is prepared for wool. so young has carried out a series of missile tests during the last 2 weeks. one of which was fired over japan . tokyo has admitted that it's facing difficulties in detecting launches. in your chart, it was a little ongoing. so need to do up regarding the ballistic missiles that have arranged it could include japan, it is likely that they have already achieved the capability of minutes rising and mounting nuclear warheads on those missiles for a tech,
