a safer pair of hands. he's trying to make the case that the conservative party is going to generate fiscal credibility to the country, but not damage public services. chief, oddly, with another round of sterility. so he's kept in cash terms, spending the same over the next 2 years and pushed back the pain to 2025 for the next election. so a bit of a trap for the, for the labor party. the reality of the situation is that britons will have less money in their pockets as the country enters recession. even in the wealthy english town of saffron walden, the need for food, thanks. his soaring cost of living crisis and the impending recession gonna affect people from all types of society. and what we find is that when you live somewhere affluent, if you are struggling, 8 that a poverty hair, it's hidden and it's invisible. so he says, demand for food is outstripping, the amount they receive that she see in the light down the tunnel. no, definitely,
12:41 am
no, no, no light at all. the chancellor says global financial precious or a storm the britain must faced into that, whether the origins are foreign or domestic. the u. k is entering a new age of austerity, rory challenge how to 0. so i will joining us now via zoom from the hague. is joe mitchell, who's an associate professor of economics at the university of the west of england . welcome to the news hour. this may be about undoing the damage of the previous prime minister, but there's a pretty bruising news for british taxpayers. i read that the proportion of people's earnings being taken in tax will be at its highest since the 2nd world war . how is the u. k. go to adjust to being a poor country. yeah, i think there's a couple of things on that. one you're, you're right that the tax share will be the highest in a very long time. perhaps the 2nd world war. however, in comparison with other countries, a similar levels of income per capita,
12:42 am
our tax take isn't particularly high tax share of g d p. it's quite a bit higher in other countries. so there's no reason why that should be necessarily unmanageable, particularly if it's matched with decent public services, which is not currently the case. you're right at the u. k. is having to adjust to being cora, least in the, in the medium to short term as a result of the cost of living crisis, higher fuel prices, higher food prices and so on. but i think this budget, the rhetoric and the reality don't quite match up. there was a lot of talk of, of austerity and balancing the books and, and difficult choices both in the run up to the budget and in the budget itself. but the reality is for the next 2 years, which is really the time scale that matters beyond 2 years that the general election, we have no idea how much of the plans will stay in place after that for the next 2 years is actually an increase in government spending in the 1st year and then a slightly, almost flat, the year after,
12:43 am
along with some tax rises including some rises on, on, on the wealthy, on windfall taxes, capital gains reform. those kind of things. the kind of slow burn of the sales taxes takes longer to kick in. so actually i think in the, in the coming to years, which is the only period which really matters it's, it's not. and it's not nearly as tight as the story that goes with it. if you see what i mean right now, it, we've seen much stronger recovery post pandemic in the euro's own, especially the united states of questions are being asked by taxpayers here the u. k. as to why that recovery isn't being seen here. yes, united states i think is a, is a special case the united states was able to enact this very, very strong stimulus during the pandemic. you know, big cash transfers to households that very clearly did translate in sir big spending increases and almost no loss of output and an income. go ahead. as a result of the pandemic, the line goes down,
12:44 am
it comes back up to the trend and carries on. but i do think that's part of the, the global inflation that we're seeing. and that privilege that, that ability for the united states to do that, i think, does fundamentally come from the fact that it's the issue or of the dollar we didn't see stimulus on that scale, anywhere else. now that the distinction between the u. k and other parts of europe is interesting and i think it's hard not to conclude that breaks it is, is part of that. it does seem that comparable european economies have recovered better from the coven pandemic. and i think it's quite likely that we now seeing the effects that economists like myself said would happen when, when breaks, it became clear now starting to come into force trade frictions, reduced economic accuracy, reduce productivity as a follow, not getting rich as fast as the rest of the world kind of effect. joe michel greatest thing too. all right, thank you. you inspector general antonio terrorists those negotiations at the top
12:45 am
$27.00 summit must overcome a breakdown, entrust between rich and poor nations to deliver a deal to save the world. negotiators remain far apart and key issues. one day before the agreements deadline, brazil's president elect lewis and asio lila da silva has told the climate talks. he'll reverse the environmental policies of his predecessor. lulu met with environmental activists on the penultimate day of the meeting in egypt. african countries are taking some of the biggest hits from extreme weather, which is one of the drivers of conflict and displacement on the continent. the horn of africa faces recurring droughts. more than 3000000 people were affected by drought, and smalley were alone last year. changing weather patterns are also linked to intense floods and cyclones in mozambique. meanwhile, african lakes are shrinking, including lake chad,
12:46 am
which has shrunk by 90 percent since the 19th sixty's. an african glasses such as those on mount kilimanjaro are expected to melt away by 2030. this, despite the continent contributing the least greenhouse gas emissions, or millions of people in madagascar facing their 5th consecutive years of drought, nick clark visited one southern region where crops have failed. and finding water is a daily struggle for many were driving through madagascar gran suit. it's supposed to be the rainy season with the fields of bone dry. this is the footprint of climate change. one year of drought is bad enough, but 5 in a row is near impossible. fears hot winds turn the soil to dust crops stand no chance. in the village of mirada, like everywhere, it's a struggle for survival, water and how to get it is on everyone's minds. then suddenly it appears from
12:47 am
nowhere. i mean, a water tanker on route for a far off destination has stopped it from its leaking pipes. there's a rare chance i every can container and bottle and can be laid on this filled quickness in the cart and go we ever needed a demonstration of just how desperate people are this is it? this is very hot breaking because normally that no, no she had so play those kids. so live that childhood. that right now that are wanting us, would you look at that kind of landscape? you can feel how hard the situation is. yeah. in, in, in this region, and this is nearly everywhere in this region nearby amongst fields, once filled with maze. and sweet potatoes lies a village waterhole. it's been dry for 2 years. also lenika jane dobbins. and
12:48 am
that's why people are thirsty and i can't do anything about it. i hope there's no cassava. there's no maze loading. like there are no crops at all, and life is very, very difficult. our daily life in the village is about rain. but right now there's nothing to sit on. we're really suffering thing. i'm just heading back. we stop put a roadside market may commodity for sale water. it's got to the stage now where water trade is, have set up in the cellar wall through the side of the road as a commodity. each one of these jerry cans costs about $0.50 and they're brought by people who perhaps don't have the wherewithal to go to the river themselves. the thing is even $0.50 is too much for most of the poor grow up fast here. scavenging for survival. this is the human face of our changing climate. develop countries stalling on finance for nations like madagascar . we do well to look into those eyes. nicholas al
