hello and welcome inflation threatens to become a runaway train. that is, the warning, the i m f has put out as the global economy is hit by one shot call to another. the head of the l m. f says the risk of global recession is out 25 percent. africa is in the most precarious situation with many low income countries hit by high food shortages and extreme poverty. the worn ukraine has brought food insecurity far and wide with 48 countries severely affected. in the middle east, economic growth is projected to slow from 5 percent to 3.6 percent. inflation is also expected to remain at more than 14 percent next year. latin american, the caribbean, all projected to see slower growth and previously thought where the i'm f predicting 1.7 percent growth in north america is also tip to slow. the i m f

says they'll be just one percent growth in the u. s. in 2023 and 1.5 percent in canada. we cannot, we cannot possibly allow inflation to become a runaway train bed for growth and bed for people. but, but especially for poor would be for poor people. alan fisher has more from washington d. c. crystelina georgina is aware of the impact that high inflation is having on every one. and she says that governments really do have to do more to try and help the poorest. this isn't some abstract economic theory. this is being experienced by everyone. if they go along to the shore, just to buy some food to feed their family. and she says that of governments and financial institutions are going to help than the help has to be targeted to those who are struggling the most. she says that essentially inflation is

a taxation on the poorest in society. she's also aware that when that are financial issues, there can be political issues. and that has led to critics to wonder whether the international monetary fund and the world bank is fit for purpose in negotiating its way through this crisis. whether capitalism should continue to be the driver of what is happening with global economies. well, that is a point i put to a senior figure in the wild bank. 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 intention wanted a fund that had been around for nearly 80 years. these institutions have evolved 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 walk programs accordingly. and we will do our best to respond to these multiple crisis says the i m f in the all banker meeting. here, there is a confluence of events which they have to worry about. first of all is inflation then that climate crises in various places around the world such as the floods and pakistan the floods even here in the united states. and then there is the war in ukraine, which is causing financial instability, but also has an impact on the food supply chain around the world. and according to the i am, if 48 countries are facing food insecurity, that's 325000000 people. most keenly felt in areas like the horn of africa and the sa hill. and there is a worry that some families won't be able to feed themselves unless that situation is address pretty rapidly by the global financial power houses. what happens in

china will of course have a big impact on the rest of the well, the economy there is sluggish. growth will be the sharp focus of china's ruling communist party congress. magic folk has moved more from beijing. this was another stark warning about the mounting challenge. china's economy face is coming right ahead of its biggest political event in decades. the i m f said that after posting near 0 growth in the 2nd quarter, growth in the world's 2nd largest economy would recover in the 2nd half and hit 3.2 percent. so for 2022 and 4.4 percent in 2023. but that was based on the prediction that there'd be a gradual loosening of coven 19 curbs, and a moderate pick up in public investment. but there is still no clear sign on how exactly policy makers intend to map china out of its coven 19 crisis. and there are

growing warnings about the scale of it's a property crisis in the potential knock on effects. it could have the i'm f did say though that inflation had not risen as sharply and china as it had done elsewhere. and there was still policy space to play with, but all lies will be on the communist party congress kicking off on sunday for clues on how policy makers intend to tackle the weak economy. you know, i met, has wound about inflation running out of control in argentina. it's fair, the inflation rate could hit a 100 percent this year to raise it by reports from when is aries latin america economy, those problem to recover from 2 consecutive shocks, the endemic and then the impact of the war and ukraine. i know they're struggling to cope with a tightening of global financial conditions and when most countries in the region are slowly showing some signs of recovery. countries like argentina right now we're

the minister of economy right now is in washington dc, meeting with international organizations, trying to get some type of financing for b. this countries we serve, it's not easy. argentina has had a history of economic collapse so we cannot make disasters there. there's not lots of trust out there in order to try to help this country recover. and of course, this whole situation generates lots of tension with the business sector, but also on the street we're seeing protest happening here almost every day with people struggling to make a living to make it until the end of the month. mostly because of the fire, very high inflation rate. and this of course, has a huge impact on the president. so popularity north korea has fired at least one short range missiles into its eastern waters and flown war planes near the border with south korea. the latest in a series of missile tests in the past, he weeks south graves military has worn pyongyang,

at least one juror agreed with defense lawyers who had argued because cruise had fetal alcohol syndrome. that was a mitigating factor. that overrode the heinousness of his crime, and it wasn't even about my mind that this would be the death penalty. i'm beyond discuss it. i never thought that i could be so ugly inside, but i wait and welcome the day that i get that call that tells me that that murderer was murdered in prison. that's going to be a very happy day in my life. no excuse for letting this piece of garbage bree factors, but experts say there is a reason. it is hard to get a sentence of data to do. but it's important to keep in mind that, you know, most states in the united states have either abolish the death penalty already or haven't used it. and over a decade, united states continues to be the only country in the western hemisphere to have

the death penalty. the european nations of all band and the crews will officially be sentenced next month. and the families of each and every one of his victims will be able to tell the court about their suffering about those they lost. after that, the judge could override the jury. it's unlikely, but for the families who wanted to see him die, one more chance to change the fate of the man who murdered these people. patty calling al jazeera, the you and yemen invoice, calling on warring parties to renew the ceasefire. hands. greenberg blamed for the rebels? the failure to extend the truth. there's been a decrease in violence before the april c, d, a lapse delia this month. the and once offensive military operations stopped, blockades lifted, and detainees released because it does not have a choice before them. they can choose to preserve and build on the true sensate, the path towards peace as it is expected from them by the many populations.
