this is al jazeera ah, but i am carry. johnson, this is a nice our lot from do are coming up in the next 60 minutes. i want to be honest. this is difficult, but we will get through this storm rated the beleaguered u. k. prime minister put on a brave face of the socket. her finance minister the i m f, projects of fall and growth across europe in the coming months and urge as its leaders to make tough policy choices. took here says it's studying that a met hooton's proposal to establish a regional hub to transport russian gas to europe. and more than a 1000000 people displaced, nigeria says many communities remain unreachable, offers west flooding and a decade is for majesty united leave. it lay to india,
6:02 pm
belly established time winner against me and kathy, i keep them in with the chance of copying their group. ah, we start with a growing economic and political turmoil in the united kingdom. foreign minister list trust her, sacked her finance minister at less than 6 weeks into his job and made another major policy you turn on her government has now abandoned plans to count a corporation tax at a hastily arrange at news conference that trust said she was trying to reassure the financial markets that it is clear that parts of our mini budget went further and faster the markets were expecting. so the way we are delivering our mission right now has to change. we need to act now to reassure the markets of our fiscal discipline. i have therefore decided to keep the increasing corporation tax
6:03 pm
that was planned by the previous government. this will raise $18000000000.00 pounds per year. it will act as a down payment on our full medium term fiscal plan, which will be accompanied by a forecast from the independent a, b, r. we will do whatever is necessary to ensure debt is falling as a share of the economy in the medium term. well, john hall is outside number 10, downing street in london forests, and jonah the speed of physical development. today. it's hard to keep up or how damaging is this for the prime minister problem? we can look any political reversal policy decision reversible, you turn a courses that unknown is difficult, is painful and damaging for a prime minister each he roads a way of that prime minister's credibility. and this trusts in just 40 days or so
6:04 pm
in office had to conduct a few. remember she, you turned on the plan cut to the highest rate of tax in quasi quad things, a mini budget statement that would have benefited only the very richest in the hope that that would come the markets it didn't. she has now you turned on the plan to scrap the planned rise in cooperation tax a plan put in place by re she's not perform a chance but lives trust his opponent in the last stages of the leadership campaign . and it was something that she vehemently campaigned against that rise in cooperation. facts will now go ahead and she's, you turned on her chancellor quasi quoting, and this is not just any old political colleague. he's her friend, her closest political ally with who she shares the vision, these radical economic reforms. they plan the lock step together that many budget statement she endorsed it. she defended it despite the market turmoil it's created . and so too many now including many within her own parties, she is
6:05 pm
a prime minister who has lost her of 30 last her credibility, whose central political and economic program the return of growth by a low taxes. the radical economic reform is now on the rocks and she is historically unpopular. the latest opinion polls say just 16 percent of the public are satisfied in this trust, as prime minister her over all popularity ratings hitting minus 51 points, the lowest of any prime minister ever. given what you say then, joiner, is it possible she may not survive? could there be plotting going on as we speak? this is a part of the conservative party that has just come through an absolutely bruising leadership campaign for several weeks during the some of the distrust of course one nobody will want to hurry back to that least of all the public.
6:06 pm
and remember, of course we, as we saw with boris johnson, it is not easy to get rid of a prime minister even for a party that has managed to get rid of its previous 3. but there is one fundamental consideration to bear in mind here the opposition labor party surging in the poles, hitting sometimes 30 percent ahead of the conservative party. this trust is not popular with her own and peace. she had only the support of 30 percent of peace in their senior members of her party now, who are openly accusing her, trashing the parties, fundamental reputation for economic management and fiscal discipline and leading them down the path to electoral defeat. and that is nowhere that any serving m p wants to go. and so yes, i think it is almost inevitable now that they will be open, open plotting to remove with that's updating downing street. thank you. while the bank of england has ended its emergency bond buying scheme,
6:07 pm
that means the bank will stop buying government bonds from today. the baka has more is from london. well, as is often the case, the financial markets go to heads up. that service you turn was indeed i on its way, maybe not an indicator that so across the crossing was on his way out. but a sense at least that there was a, a see change in the direction in which the government was going. because in the past 24 to 48 hours, we've seen the pound stabilize. we've seen the cost of government boring on the ball markets fall as well. oh, basically showing that there is renewed investor confidence in the government's ability. although it's somewhat scans of the moment, but nevertheless growing confidence that the government may be able to, to pay for it's a budgetary plan is going forward, although they're all of course still massive questions about further u turns to come. and let's not forget the, the overall economic picture,
6:08 pm
the country isn't that great at the moment. so the inflation rate is at its highest in 40 years, hovering around 10 percent. all of that is being passed on to consumers. we are in the midst of a cost of living crisis. this is exactly the kind of stuff that the new chancellor jeremy hunt is going to have to get his teeth into. literally on day one, a will have to hit the ground running while at the same time, balancing the demand from the likes of less trust, the prime minister and her supporters. the growth should be at the heart of this nation's true economic recovery that sabrina james, me the way he's director at the progressive economy for him. he's also former economic advise it the u. k. shadid chancellor exchequer. he joins us on skype from ana. welcome to the program. what do you make of this extraordinary political and economic turmoil in the u. k? well, i mean, to say, let's trust had absolutely no choice, but by this point. so following in particular, i think the intervention by the bank of england governor andrew bailey on wednesday
6:09 pm
saying that supports that the bank of england being given into the u. k. bond markets, a guilt markets would come to a screeching halt around about now on friday, cause a huge panic over the middle of this week in financial markets and really applied a great deal of pressure. i think, to the government to change course. it'd been on the causes sometime, the reaction to the mini birthday, barely 2 weeks ago with its own funded tax cuts, with a huge, a borrowing with the implications that these borrowing would be sorted at some point in the future. but not now the panic that started in financial markets, all that had already been effectively priced it. and that if you turn was already looking quite likely, it's just a question of, you know, how long was it going to take before the gum? not there. the problem today, i think, is the, let's just as you turned on parts of the big extra borrowing, she was planning 18000000000 pounds out to the remaining 43000000000 pounds of tax cuts and other things. it may not actually be enough and looking at some the market
6:10 pm
reaction probably won't be enough to entirely ease people's fears. and to get out of this immediate crisis that there it is an argument to say, look, they recognize the mistake. they've done something about it. they've got rid of quasi court. i let's move on now. that that's certainly what they want to say. it has to be said the that statement from the prime minister was, was brief. a detailed this you turn on the cut to corporation taxes that was due next year. so that's now not going to go ahead alongside the earlier announcement that the cut to the very top rated income taxes in the top one percent any more than $150000.00 pounds. that's now going to be scrapped. so she's already done the series a you turns very perfunctory statement, not very clear about what she's going to do next. the government has said it will make a further statement on search 1st october, laying out its plans for the future. perhaps a more detail, but that still at this point in time, people to really go a long way away we, we get to get to monday and what ever happens to the markets in london on that morning when they have a bit of
6:11 pm
a chance to process events over the weekend. okay. james, midway at stay with us, if you will, as we look at the wider issues now, the international monetary fund is urging european leaders to make tough economic choices as the one ukraine hits the post pandemic recovery. when i m. f predicts g d p and developed to european countries will fall from 3.2 percent this year to not point 6 percent in 2023 in emerging economies. that number is expected to slide from a 4.3 percent to 1.7 percent in the same period. time f says inflation will decline in 2023 advanced economies. it may be 6 percent while for developing nations. it's expected to stay at about 12 percent coming in to 2022 things stood a strength, coordination and solidarity displayed in policy responses to carried 19. europe was on its way to exit depend amick. meanwhile,
6:12 pm
rising inflation was expected to gradually subside as commodity prices and supply bottlenecks would ease. but russia's invasion of ukraine changed that picture completely. and it is now taking a growing toll on europe's economies. we have to correspondence so far, the ins, outlook on europe on that kane is in the german capital. the 1st 2 alan fisher at the i m f headquarters in washington d. c. so and, and what's the fall out then from all this? well, interestingly enough, the resignation of the british finance minister is all that most people are talking about here to day. not least because he was here in washington for the meetings this week and to slightly change a phrase he is clearly a here yesterday gotten to day sort of politician and the i m. f was asked the question about his resignation and said, look clearly the united kingdom as recalibrating its fiscal policy and they will
6:13 pm
wait to see details. but of course the euro area and europe in general, would normally be slightly insulated from any financial crisis. they always do reasonably well, but like everywhere else, as we've had this week, there is a problem. and that problem, of course, is that inflation is going up and growth is going down. and that is leading to the cost of living crisis across all of europe as well. that's estimated by the international monetary fund that inflation is about 7 percent. that is costing families about 7 percent a year more. and if you're in a very small income, that is a huge sum of money to try and find. so if you are paying about a $100.00 for your weekly shopping, you're not paying a 100 in 7. and if your wages haven't gone up to meet, that then becomes a struggle, then there is the water in ukraine, which is also going to cause energy problems. and the i m f says, look, that's not just the problem this winter. if this is going to be a problem for at least a year and a half,
6:14 pm
and they're saying that the situation may get so grave that not only will prices go up and it be much more expensive to heat homes. but there is a real possibility that that may have to be rationing in parts of europe. so unit, which is normally a nic and economic powerhouse remember, it is the sun. the eurozone is the 3rd biggest economy in the world, after united states and china at the glue. the report from the i m f, does not make for a great reading. and what they're saying is that, look, if you're going to give people help, particularly with cost to live in crisis, and particularly with fuel costs. any action that any government has taken has got to be targeted. it's got to be temporary and it's got to be funded, and that is where some countries may well struggle. they won't be able to take all 3 boxes this winter simply because this financial crisis will, can continue to roll on in the coming months on fish and washington d. c. thank you. and stay with this so that speak to dominic cain in berlin. saddam
6:15 pm
. and what is all this main for the ongoing crises in europe? well, alan is spelt out for us in some diesel. they're the situation that europeans face hearing from him at the i m f, where the i m f pointed out the problems that they think europeans are facing. it's pretty clear that across the board, growth is going to be cuts by more than half, both in terms of the advanced economies and in terms of the emerging economies. and there is this suggestion from the i m f. the interest rates need to be kept high, although they say inflation will come down at some point in 2023. but they say at some point in 2023 and they say there has to be fiscal policy changes. trying to help people deal with the cost of living and the point to be made when they say 7 percent cuts and that sort of thing, that's an average. there are many countries where it will be considerably worse
6:16 pm
than that. and so there's no doubt that there will be concern amongst many different european governments where ministers will be saying to themselves, what are the measures that we can take that can best ward off the worst excesses of winter? and they all obviously have questions about energy security, about rising energy prices, gas prices, that sort of thing. so clearly, oblique outlook being given to us from the i m f and it will be receives in that manner. no question about it by many different european leaders watching our tommy cane in berlin. thank you for that. we're going to bring a james midway back in now. he's from the progressive economy forum to discuss the i miss europe. projections i said before his joins assert by skype from minima in bahrain. the so were tell us the i m f had rebuked the u. k over its planned tax
6:17 pm
cuts. but if we turned to the global situation now, how close are many countries to a recession? in fact, how close are we to world wide recession? well, the forecast technically say that it will avoid a recession globally. that will be enough growth out there to say the recession isn't quite what the i'm f say is going to happen. but they do say about a 3rd of the world will end up with falling g d p over the next year. and the circles and i see they say one is the worst is yet to come. however, bodies in this year, they think 2023 would be significantly worse for most of us. frankly, i'm particularly driven by rising inflation. and exactly as the correspondence said, by the way, 7 percent is an average. what people will experience around there is a very significantly worse inflation for essentials. food prices are currently going through the roof. energy price is notoriously over last year, particularly in europe, particularly driven by natural gas as shot. so a very great deal, and that's a real problem for economies in general. because if essentials go up,
6:18 pm
you end up with households. no unreasonably putting that spending into those essentials going up in price because they have to pay money on them and spending less elsewhere. and that's what drives a recession that i think is that the outside risk is looking at the i'm a forecast now. is there actually that much that governments can do though to protect their populations when you consider the economic effects of the war and ukraine? for example. what is a more new crane is the after effects of cove? it increasingly actually we're seeing the effects of extreme weather. i mean, don't forget that transport and goods transport in your it was filed up all summer because the rhine, which is, you know, river used to transport huge amounts of goods across the continent, was dried up and you can't move anything. this is all adding to inflation. is there anything to any government can really do about all these global forces? well, not really. and that's in the difficult position that everybody's getting into. you have to look ways to protect people and find ways to adequately insulate that. now there's been a lot of different ways on energy prices at many different governments of now
6:19 pm
introducing your protection. so households, whether it's a sort of comprehensive, very expensive scheme like in the u. k or slightly more targeted schemes, as in germany and norway in a few other places like the i m f is recommending these the sort of measures that countries that governments, i me to look at. now. all of it is expensive. it has to be said, it's not easy to protect people from the cost of energy prices that have gone up, you know, 40506070 percent. when indeed, and when it comes to high energy prices and food scarcity and some countries suffer more than others, didn't say yes, that's what i mean in europe. in general, has been relative insulated from some of these. it effects over the last decade or longer. it's not somewhere that's been hit in the past by consensus of food security or energy security, which is perhaps more pressing one. and there are warnings from national. he later is over seeing national grids and from the european union itself, that without serious reductions in demand and consumption of natural gas in particular, which has fallen this year,
6:20 pm
that have been serious efforts to reduce that. but without further reductions, it's going to be a very, very tight winter with vladimir putin to, to put it bluntly sitting on a tap for europe and having the option to turn it on and off as he pleases. ok, james major, i will leave it there. thank you very much indeed for your insights here on out. thank you. now, refinery workers in the french town of dawns are protesting at santa, till tower oil refinery. calling for better wages. negotiations are still on the way to try and end 3 weeks of strikes in refineries and fuel depos. job action that has disrupted people's lives and led to shortages of hateful across france. the talks came a day after the government told total energies to increase the salary of its workers. natasha butler has more from a filling station in paris. yes, that's right. after 3 weeks of these or refinery slides, there is a breakthrough thoughts or 2 of the main trade unions to have agreed with total
6:21 pm
energy use. the french company that runs many. these refineries for a 7 percent pay rise and a bonus for its workers bought the c g t the biggest union and $1.00 that's leading this protest said that it won't accept that offer. it wants a 10 percent pay reisman's work is it says that 10 percent would take him to the account inflation. many workers struggling, of course, financially at the moment. they also say that that would give work as a share of some of these huge profits for all companies making because of the energy crisis. total energy loss, year 2021, made some $15000000.00 in profits. some say it's gotta be double back this year. that of course, is fueling the sense amongst workers that is simply not a fair situation. or greasy scene is a rare success story of an i might bait how to received almost 260000000000 dollars from the i f and e between 22010. i should say in 2015 to prevent the total
6:22 pm
collapse of the country's economy, john serrato. this takes a look at how local people are getting on today. from the capital athens, greece appears to be faring better than its european neighbors. these days it's economy is start to grow by 5.3 percent this year. that's double the rate of the rest of the european union. tourism is hitting a record high and so exports. but to get here, greece had to go through an 8 year depression between 292017, but lost a quarter of its g d p. that's because greece stopped being able to borrow from markets at the height of the financial crisis. 10 years ago, markets demanded 36 percent interest to lends degrees, essentially bankrupt. the country turns to european union and the international monetary fund for emerge and siloam, and they lent it 257000000000 euros a world record breaking bailout. in order to earn those handouts, lo,
6:23 pm
greece had to balance its budget, and that meant 5 years of painful cost cutting with terrible knock on the fact of the economy. a quarter of a 1000000 businesses closed unemployment reached 28 percent. and you can still see many of the scars of that period, unemployment still remains stubbornly high at 12 percent. the minimum wage which was slashed 10 years ago to $586.00 euros a month, has only just now been restored to its original level of $740.00. and greece remained saddled with some of the highest sovereign debt in the developed world. it'll be paying off it's emergency loans until at least 2016. but because it has balanced its budget, it can again borrow money from markets at 5 percent interest. ah
6:24 pm
took. he is that president jeff taper dwan as ordered his officials to study proposal by russia to set up a regional gas hub in the country. the russian leader says it offers the best route to redirect ghastly off the north string. pipeline was recently damaged. the leaders have been meeting in kazakhstan this week wasnt casalene joins asli from istanbul. so what's the thinking here that because you are pin countries are trying to win themselves off russian gas on while probably that's the key point in this discussion carry a prison are done on for the 1st and put in have struck the their teams. i mean that the energy ministry who are expected to come together for concrete talks next week as for august from officials. but there are challenges ahead. yes. tricky is it has been trying to become an energy hobbin trace to
6:25 pm
t o northwest and turkey, which is close to bulgaria. and greece border is already a small energy hub where all those pipelines crossed by and several di, diversified gas supplies come by. but here, today, turkish foreign ministers, they took that to case trying to help ease the energy crisis in europe. and this should be studied very carefully. and besides, the most important thing, since the target market will be the southern european countries. and this should be dealt with european countries, and today we heard truck is better there to paris speaking on french media and saying that unless you repeat partners are willing to join this project or by you russian. guess this project will be off paper. so their child into the head and one more thing is very important. no one is sure about russia's intentions. i have
6:26 pm
been speaking to some energy analysts who have been telling me that if this is an additional pipeline to pump more rushing gas to, to europe. and if the gas is not going to be stored in this hub, close by the western border of to q, then it would be just helping russia and multiple lives in the market. so there are some technical challenges ahead and even let's say everybody agreed on this to kia and russia who's going to build the pipelines, whether it's only a germany and other european countries will be willing to join and avoid sanctions . there are so many questions that has carry in there. awesome, because only last for, for me stumble. thank you. on thursday, at the 10th suggested that moscow could send more gas through the existing turks tree pipeline, which runs beneath the black sea to tokyo. even suggested mosca could build
6:27 pm
a 2nd pipeline between the 2 countries. a turnkey is a leader of a jet type at one that suggested that the region of thrust could serve as a gas distribution center to sell to europe and beyond. let's bring in abbey, at region, right, roger and dr. i should say he's a threat to a to energy intelligence research. she joins us from new york. i welcome to the program. what do you make of this proposal? yeah, no, it's an interesting development, right. i mean, i think, you know, higher level, what you're seeing is, is really kind of a, a reordering of, of, of the global energy order, right? and a bifurcation of the, of the, of the energy order at the same time, you know, this is happening in oil markets as a, as flows have shifted away from, from europe in the west, towards the east. and i think, you know, i think for russia gas poses a, a bigger challenge because it's not as flexible as, as oil, a product markets, you need to rebuild the infrastructure, you need to rebuild the partnerships. and i think you're starting to see the same
6:28 pm
thing. you know, i think, i think they kind of see europe as a, as, as a market that's last from a gas standpoint. and they need to figure out ways to kind of re pivot those molecules. they will go to central asia, increasingly they'll find ways to, to push those to south asia. and of course, potentially the china business will not be easy. it will be, you know, kind of a multi year process can be very expensive. but you know, they're kind of weighing the groundwork for, for those, those new partnerships being forged and will this be acceptable to european nations that yeah, i mean, i, you know, i think this is, this is part of the challenge, right? yeah. and you're seeing is, yeah, and, and, you know, cross energy market which is, you know, the west is trying to, to push this an anti russian view and then try to kind of bring the world together and then kind of push back on on, you know, they're wor machine, so to speak, but at the same time, you know, you have developing markets and develop and the emerging world that, you know,
6:29 pm
that really kind of has to take care of itself 1st, right to take care of its own citizens. are all dealing with inflation and, you know, an energy shortages of, of, of different sorts. and so, you know, i think it's a difficult thing for, you know, europeans and the western general to sort of push and impose on, on developing markets. and you're, you know, you're seeing, you know, russia to try to wedge it and then create those new markets. so that's, that's sort of where they are. i think it's going to be very difficult for europe to sort of, you know, stand in the way. what is techies aim head and does it see itself as some kind of broke about it? well yeah, i think so. i think i think that's, that's the goal. and then obviously, geographically a critical link, you know, in that, you know, that, that pivot to, to central asia, to, you know, to other parts of asia. and, you know, and again, you know, turkey, of course, you know, also a developing market is, is sort of, you know, finding a way to, to kind of look after it's all right and, and trying to kind of strike the balance between europe and the west. but,
6:30 pm
but also the, the, the new a pivot that, that russia is looking to make a copy by gen john, thank you very much. thank you. the european commission that says it's concerned off to take he a pos to controversial media bill. social media uses could be jailed if they can, because of posting information, which the government declares as take. the commission spokesman says to key it must protect freedom of expression. turkey is still you, candidate country enter a longstanding member of the council of europe. and as such is expected to apply the highest democratic standards and practices, and the criminal law should never be used to silence or to limit divergent views or critical voices said i had hair on al jazeera, another missile launch from young yang adds to tensions along the korean peninsula, ah, crane marks,
6:31 pm

6:34 pm
ah, they're watching out 0 reminder of our top stories this out. britain's prime minister let's trust her, sacked her chancellor, and made another major policy. you turn, the government has now abandoned bands to cut corporation tax the i m f as slashed . it's economic for cost for europe for next year. continent has seen sky high energy prices as it tries to win itself away from russian supplies. in the wake of warn you crate. turkish presenters ordered his officials to study a proposal by russia to set up a regional gas hub in the country. that a man who tint says it offers the best route to re direct a gas that you off the nord stream pipeline was recently damaged during the ongoing
6:35 pm
war. with craig the russian president says he has no plans to call up further troops. he said the military call up of 300000 reservists was finished and he would not move to call more troops. he said his aim is not destroying ukraine, but potent walnut, any direct clashes of nato troops with russia would lead to a global catastrophe. ready with my serum, hulu? sure. now there is no need for massive strikes. there were other goals to a chief and now out of i think 29 objectives. 7 have not been hit. the way the defense ministry planned that dealing with them these objectives. there's no need for massive strikes, at least for the moment, for now, as for the future, again, with that we'll see. amanda val is in moscow for us now. our mom and what more can you tell us about which is comes yes sir. putting was the speaking on the sidelines of the year. the commonwealth of independent
6:36 pm
states conference in stana. and he, in addition to what a mission, what he said the in there that are clip. he also said that he doesn't see any need for any meeting with their president biden during their g 20 summit in, in bali next month. and that seems to be a, you turn on the statements made on wednesday by he's a foreign minister, sergey lover of who was asked about this particular eventuality. and he said that to a rush, he's open for any proposals from the other side to receive any proposals. they would a study them and he doesn't see any reason why such a meeting can't happen if they receive a request for it. but also we have to remember that the u. s. president joe biden, the day before on tuesday, he made it clear in an interview with sin and that he doesn't have any plans to meet with their present putting deductions receive that statement. her belatedly
6:37 pm
