2:01 pm
the u. k. prime minister is said to hold a news conference in the coming hours after speculations of another. you turned on her min budget proposals. ah, it is great to have you with us. i'm cyril van. yeah, this is al jazeera live from dough. also coming up in the show, turkey a says it's studying vladimir putin's proposal to establish a regional hub to transport russian gas to europe. a palestinian groups called for a day of rage and israeli forces kill 2 palestinians in the occupied west bank. and more than a 1000000 people displaced, nigeria says many communities remain unreachable after its worst flooding in a decade. ah,
2:02 pm
so the u. k is bracing for the possibility of more political and economic turmoil is comes just as the bank of england ends, its emergency bond buying scheme, which was aimed at stabilizing financial markets. all eyes presently are on number 10, downing street life pictures there you're looking at where prime minister list trust is set to hold an unscheduled news conference in just a few hours. trust is government has come under fire after a controversial budget that cause economic chaos will need. barker is in london eve, this all feels very rushed, very improvised. do you have any clothes as to what the prime minister has in mind? yeah, this we knew was going to be an incredibly turbulent day. but as the markets and the ball markets sun, sir, the financial markets across the u. k. and europe stabilize, what we're seeing politically is a deepening of the crisis. not only is there a huge amount of speculation that a series of few turns are on their way. some of them have already been heavily
2:03 pm
reported upon, including the unfreezes of corporation tax, so pivotal to alice trust and her chance the quality crossings promises to her supporters. now also mounting media speculation that the chancellor himself quasi crossing could be out of the job by the end of the day, adding to this on a few hours ago, news that he had cut short and all important visits to the i m f. a new york summoned back to london for crunch talks, a little his trust. and now we are expecting that all important press conference led by less trust herself, where she may well clear up all of their cert speculation. let me let them of course, let that sink in for a few seconds. because what this means is incredibly seismic for this fledgling government. they've only been in power for a while, less than 40 day so far. and this is the leadership of less trust that i was initiated in partnership precisely with her chancellor quasi quad saying the 3rd chancellor this year. this could well be an incredibly critical day for this
2:04 pm
government. you're at the bank of england need and, and of course that institution was key in stabilizing markets with bond buying. but, but that ends today. yeah, that's right. let me explain it in simple terms because ever since the controversial budget was announced by the government a few weeks ago, the bank of england, the acts independently of government. they've been pulling and pushing in opposite directions of the bank that normally adjusts its monetary policies to protect the country from external shock, slightly economic crisis, 2008. as had to pull those leave is to protect the country from its own government decisions. and that's what spoke the market ever since. the announcement was made lead to a bomb price is falling, it led to the yields up the amount of interest charged on those bombs going through the roof. and as such, it spawn to a rapid fire self of bonds. by pension funds that invest heavily in the government
2:05 pm
. so io use leading to real fears at the time that the bond markets and the pension funds system would lead to a rapid collapse. so what happened was, the bank of england swept in, created this safety net, bought up an unlimited number of bonds for 2 weeks. and now that 2 week period has come to the end. the speculation was that, that be a huge amount of turbulence in the bond market, but we're not seeing that precisely because the financial markets already responding to the possibility of a change at the top of government or the responding to the possibility of a huge number of government u turns, and we white of course, to see that all become official as the day progresses. right. big question mark on that for now, but we won't have very long to wait that press conference by the prime minister expected in the next few hours. the bark, a thank you very much. turkey is presidents, wretched type, or no one has ordered his officials to study a proposal by russia to set up a regional gas hub in the country. the russian leader says it offers the best route

2:08 pm
cutter is a very expertise country on energy issues. and they have also exchanged ideas with the customer minister about this project. but he emphasized that this should be studied with the european partners as well because they are demanding 5 or they will be demanding part if they don't demand their wash and get them this project will be out of stable if there are no customers. if there's nobody to buy this gas, then there's no need to build the hub in the 1st place. sim castillo. thank you very much for the explanation there. appreciate it. people in the flood ravaged regions of nigeria are becoming increasingly desperate. more than 500 have died around 90 of them in just one boat accident and a number of state ahmed address has more on this. wow, here in a weary conditions for the displaced are getting desperate with just to was to sunset. food is served in this camp. the deficiency in our comedy to hundreds of people. missed food. yeah. it's not, they're not,

2:16 pm
to redirect gas to the e. u after the nord stream pipeline was recently damaged. and more than 500 people have died in nigeria, worst floods in a decade. unusually heavy rains lead to the destruction of tens of thousands of refinery workers in the french town of don't, which are protesting outside a, till tower oil refinery. calling for better wages. while negotiations are still underway, the try and end 3 weeks of strikes and refineries and fuel depos. the job action has disrupted people's lives and lead to shortages of petrol across france. talks came a day after the government told to tell in algae to increase the salary of its workers . natasha butler is at a petrol station in paris for us. what we'll get to what's happening around you in a minute. but 1st, tell us about what's going on in these negotiations because there appears to be an agreement between total and at least some of the unions were, you know,
2:17 pm
well as right after 3 weeks of this 3rd strike it, sir. most defrances oil refineries. it does appear that total energy, the company that i runs many of the refineries and the 2 main trade unions have reached an agreement to give out workers a 7 percent pay rise and a bonus. however, the c, g t, frances biggest a union and they are leading this strike say that's not good enough for them. they're not going to accept the offer and they will continue to strike, continue to protest. they say they want a 10 percent pay rise. they say that would take into account inflation. many their workers are struggling with the rising cost of living. and they also say the work as deserve a slice of these huge profits that have been made by our oil companies, by energy companies during this energy crisis. last year, for example, total energy had a profit of like 15, a $1000000000.00 in found some say that he could double its profits. this he had to read to give him bonuses and dividends out to shareholders. so there's
2:18 pm
a lot of anger over that as well. amongst workers, they feel that they're underpaid, overworked, and they just not getting a share of what they put in. natasha euro to petrol station central powers. i think a recognize it in a more bonus area. but what's the situation there? because i don't see the long lines of cars that we've seen in the last few days. that could be the way, the way in which we are standing. because i can tell you that the line, the queue is extremely long. i'm going to step out the way it goes all the way back to the end of this row, right? one to reset your stations across the country. currently closed or short of yes one and 3 by 2 stations across the country are currently closed or short a fuel. this is one of the only ones is actually open in the paris area. that's why so many people here. some people have spoken to say that they've waited here for more than an hour. we've seen frustrated scenes. police have been air so while ago because people were getting into a rauwer force. you can imagine the tempers can get pretty frayed in this sort of
2:19 pm
situation. now, the government, i've been trying to calm the situation, they said earlier this week that oil companies, all companies that can, in fact should raise wages at this time of inflation. but they've also fuel tensions in some ways, by ordering some key refinery workers back to work all face penalties. now that is, that is made traded for a angry. they say that it runs their right to strike and they have cooled for a national strike. taking in all sectors workers more sectors next week. and natasha butler reporting in paris. thank you very much. at the head of the international monetary fund says that there's a 25 percent risk of a global recession, poorer countries will likely suffer the most in a downturn. that warning comes and came at the i met annual meeting as being held in washington dc. we cannot, we cannot possibly allow inflation to become an a runaway train bed for
2:20 pm
growth and bedford people. bed bed, especially for poor would be for poor people. at the i, m f also just released its regional economic outlet for africa just this hour. it's agreed to give kenya access to more than $235000000.00 and funds after a recent review. catherine soy is in the north of kenya. she tells us how locals are faring. despite the high cost of living. we are at a market in northern canyon area of calls to cannot and more people with that the cost of facing commodities has been going up. and this is something that has been happening across the country. so we have prices that have been tripled in the last year or so. so people here are saying that they really are struggling to make ends meet. we also have a problem in the country when it comes that has been compounded by the drought.
2:21 pm
this is a drought that has affected the entire reason in kenya. for example, 3000000 people are in drought. we have spoken to some of them who say they don't have what they don't have food to kind of where we are one of the most effective regions. but despite the problems, the countries facing the world bank says the economy is still strong and that the countries who thrive the right measures in place to get better. i would like to see the economy improving so that life can be more bearable. people are suffering. will also be hearing from president william root or who says that he's trying to make things better. but then we also know that the government is dealing with a very high external backed and a lot of kenya's, the width is taking to say that they believe that the suffering will continue
2:22 pm
a little longer. and south africa, high unemployment rate and struggling economy mean that the i m f has cut its growth forecast. as from miller reports, people are paying the price more than a 3rd of south africans don't have a job that will bank, lower self africans, economic growth to under 2 percent will the, the rising cost of living has put millions of south africans and the pressure and saving for many of them is not simply a luxury, the cost of fuel is gone up as it has across the world. growing inflation and increase in interest rates on of course, soaring food prices, a threatening households, especially poorer income homes. normal that's good. if we did use to close to 500 right now, casey casey to speak basically double double. what used to spend on petrol, what you spend on food? it's just, it's greatest worse than ever be fool. if we look at our current government is how
2:23 pm
can i put it now? you just you about money disappearing. money has been allocated to different, let's say municipalities in nothing actually happens. so that because economic future is uncertain with poverty and debt worsening. now, solution for many would be an increase in local and for investment to create jobs for the countries electricity and potential water supply crisis. maybe putting investors off of africa's have the worst call. what cuts in decades with many areas without electricity for anything between 2 to 6 hours at a time is really forces of killed to palestinians during a raid on the janine refugee camp in the occupied westbank arm confrontations broke out early on friday. the ministry of health says the victims are a fighter with the janine brigades group and a physician who was shot in the yard of a hospital, palestinian factions of cold for a day of rage. and for context, at least
