hello. we start with a financial turmoil gripping the world where the head of the international monetary fund warning that inflation threatened to become a runaway train. and that the global economy has been hit by one shock after another. crystelina caregiver says the risk of global recession is now at 25 percent. with high recession risks for many individual countries on the rise. africa is in the most precarious position, with many low income country situations, being exacerbated by high food insecurity. and the rise of extreme poverty and food insecurity continues to be fueled by the war in ukraine with 48 countries severely affected by shortages. most of them in sub saharan africa in the middle east, economic growth is projected to slow from 5 percent to 3.6 percent. the i m f also expect inflation in the region to remain elevated at more than 14 percent next year

. and latin america and the caribbean are also projected to see slower growth next year than previously thought. with i m f predictions at 1.7 percent. growth in north america is projected to slow. the i m f says the u. s. will see just one percent growth in 2023, while canada will see 1.5 percent. we cannot, we cannot possibly allow inflation to be government. oh, runaway train bed for growth and bedford people bed bed, especially for poor wood butte for poor people to have hours lighting argentina's capital when his areas that faster alan fish in washington. and alan is the infection dominating discussions and looking at you can talk about a, a lot of a macroeconomic terms and think that it's very abstract. but the real thing is that if anyone goes to the food shop, they will find out that inflation is very real and it is impacting almost everyone

on the face of the earth. inflation is the thing that is dominating discussions. here they are aware that there is a problem, and we had that from the head of the i m f. when she held our news conference a couple of hours ago. she said look, inflation is like a tax on the poorest of the communities here. and therefore, governments and financial institutions, if they are doing anything about this, then they have to be specifically targeted at those who are struggling most because of the inflation crisis. what is causing it? well, there are things like the supply chain issue, which still hasn't cleared itself up after covered. and there are still locked downs and china, which are impacting, that there are climate crises as well. and when things don't start to work financially, there is always then pressure politically and people at a weight of that which is led to many people wonder if they have capitalism has perhaps run its course. and perhaps the i m f and the world bank have to look at other alternatives. a point i put to

a senior member of the world bank in the last couple of hours. when you have these types of multiple crisis up there is this natural tendency to think about whether there is need for a revolution or a. it is another evolutionary point of view. think about the world bank and the intention wanted a font. they had been around for nearly 80 years. these institutions have evolved with the evolution of the global economy and they will continue evolving 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 accordingly, and we will do our best to respond to this multiple crisis. so while the inflation issue is certainly impacting discussions here, there has been

a confluence of events as well at the climate crisis, as we've already mentioned, at the fact that there is a war going on in europe and that has had so serious knock on effects, not just in the question of fuel, but also with the idea of food security, it has it food to supply lines around the world. and the i m f says about 48 countries are facing food insecurity. and that means that 325000000 people are also impacted by that. a lot of people, particularly in the horn of africa and the so hill didn't eat yesterday, they won't eat to day and they probably won't eat to morrow. that is the issue. they've got and then there is the fuel crisis that is going to be fueled in europe this winter by the war in russia. and that means more use of fossil fuels. and the i, m f would like to see countries move towards a greener economy. but the, except that in 2022,

that might be difficult of describing it as one step back and 2 steps forward because they think some countries might well see that fit fuel security as a national security issue. and then transition to using more green energy to make sure that they have the hands on the controls. that for the i m f is the one small . good. lemme of good news in what has been a very depressing gathering in washington and fisher. thank you very much and build let's bring in naturism owners in his arissa and latin american net economies are trying to recover better. argentina's case seems to be much more complicated than other countries in the region. while that's correct, latin america, economy and country are struggling to recover from 2 consecutive shots, the pin demick and major on the impact of the war in ukraine. and now they're also struggling with a tightening financial conditions around the world. and while most economies in the country really showing some signs of recovery,

the situation in argentina is completely different. this is a country that is struggling with a very high inflation rate. the latest numbers we're getting around a 7 percent inflation rate a month. it is expected to reach 100 percent average of a 100 percent this year. and it seems that the government until now is unable to control. and if there's no, there's a big differences between president and medical for amanda. and $25.00, president, christina for non kirschner. and even though argentina reached on agreement with 40000000000 donor agreement with the i m f and managed to postpone many of the payments, this country is struggling right now. with a crisis up international research, there's simply not enough dollars. and right now it's implementing exchange rate controls under the over 14 different types of exchange rates in argentina right now, one of them is known as a dollar car, which is meant to aspect those were expected to travel overseas right now the

middle of economies in washington d. c, meeting with international organizations trying to get find and think can be thought argentina reserved. it is not easy. this is a country that has had his tweets can all make disasters and that's why there is not lots of trust about what could happen here. and of course, there are lots of tension on the tweet. the business sector is not happy, people are not happy. we're seeing protests happening on the streets almost every day with people struggling to meet up and keep up with the inflation rate that is ongoing here and of course all of situation is having a huge impact on president. i was out at the fernandez popularity. there is about thank you very much indeed. ah, nature's has spain will become the latest member state to send a defense systems to ukraine, to help keep against russia's missile attacks. earlier germany said it was

dispatching a missile defense system. all this follows a 2 day meeting of nature, defense ministers in brussels, on the dis package, nate, the will shortly deliver counter drawn equipment to ukraine with hundreds of drawn jammers which i'm help render in the effective russian. and iranian made jones and to protect ukrainian people and critical infrastructure over the longer term, we will also help you're trying to transition from sort ada to mod, done nato equipment. nato continues to make clear that we will not be dragged into russia's war of choice. but we will stand by ukraine as it fights to defend itself. and we will continue to strengthen meadows collected of defense that i shall, butler has more on the summit from brussels. quite the mood at this nato defense

ministers meeting over the past few days has been stolen and determined to we've heard over again for the chief of nato. stilton bugs was us defense, secretary, that 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 keep particularly those air missile defense systems. that key says it so desperately needs washes the invasion, and it's nuclear weapons threats of certainly sharpened and focus the mines here. i think some nato mentally, it's really looking at their own territorial security. and that is why we also saw 14 member state sign, a joint agreement, jointly purchase and 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, including the horses of achieve success. regaining territory in the northeast and

south, since it now sits counter offensive in august, ukraine says it's retaken, 5 settlements in house on one of the regions russia has its annexed. russia's deputy prime minister as civilians will be evacuated from the region assigned that ukraine's counter offensive. is advancing russia but separate to say they've captured 2 villages in the eastern dynette screech and near the city of back moot korean official san apartment building. and nikolai of has been hit by a missile killing at least 3 people, including an 11 year old boy. the 4th person was killed elsewhere in the city. in one credit courses have been accused of shelling and apartment block in the russian border town. the governor of belgrade says a school is also been damaged. ukraine denies it's responsible and says the damage was caused by a misfired russian missile. russian president vladimir putin is proposed setting up a regional hub into care to deliver gas to europe. erased the idea of meeting with

his turkish counterpart in tex, done produce as increased corporation on supplies of to hear could also help regulate prices. russia is looking to redirect surprise away from the nor stream gas pipelines which were damaged in explosions last month. mom and val has more from moscow, was the leaders have been talking about this potential solution ever since the explosions that damaged nordstrom one and 2, those major pipelines that had been exporting russian gas to western europe. russia has a strong desire to find alternative meas, to continue its exportation of gas to western europe and other countries. and president vladimir putin in stana made that clear when he proposed a platform to be built in turkey for the distribution of russian gas to. so if there is an interest from to kia and our potential pies 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 costing you opinions 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 be consistent. a very important issue. today the prices are exorbitant and we could regulate them at a normal market level without political overtones. a company spokesman committee pest coffers in as tanner said, that the president of the one and present put in, showed strong desire for an immediate implementation of the idea. and the 2 companies rush and gus from and turkish, both us pipelines corporation have already started talking about the way to go forward with this plan. russia has been exporting gas through the black sea air, through its pipeline called turk stream. but that might not be enough for the

implementation of this project, and that's why the 2 countries are now thinking about building a 2nd pipeline. the idea for putting according to what he said, it is to stabilize prices and control them and also avoid this link that he mentioned between politics and economy relations between the different countries. he said that europe is half politicized gas resources and economic expectations from russia, and that should be avoided. there should be alternatives to that type of behavior. take express, the rich type ada. one says his country could work with russia to determine which low income countries, russian grains, and fertilizers can be exported to a grain deal was signed in july between to kill the un, russia and ukraine agreement last until november after which it can be extended. if russia and ukraine agree. so the, the issue that we especially focused on is the transportation of grain on
