percent is what the nurses have been asking for if you heard that around 4 percent is what been offered in terms of an independent hey review. not enough, say the nurses they are simply struggling to continue in the profession under a crippling cost of living crisis. one of them is with me now amy prichard, george me, thanks a me for joining us here. 19 percent is a big number. do you realistically expect to get 90 percent? no, no, i don't. but i think if we don't ask, we don't get and we cannot continue like this. deborah, we are depleted as a, as a staff team. we a waiting list, unmanageable and unsafe the patient care that we deliver is below standard and that's not because we don't want it delivered back to patient care. we don't have the resources, the time, the money, and the support to do that. okay, i'd be pretty willing to that. thank you very, very much. lots of public support being tutored by cause, passing the nurses admit that this is all going to have an impact,

some almost 6 percent on last year. investment and industrial growth. both slowed in november and unemployment rose to the highest since may policymakers a launching huge stimulus measures and pumping billions of dollars into the banking system. but analysts say it may take more than just money to spark and economic rebound. so there is a lot of fear in the country right now, so consumers, frankly, just are not willing to go outside to restaurants. a lot of parents are refusing to send their children to school because they're scared of the families catching cove it. so i think the economy is a very weak state, much weaker than most analysts realize. the sudden relaxation of long standing pandemic restrictions has seen some shoppers stockpiling at supermarkets and pharmacies. i know that i am very worried. the problem is i can't buy any medicine . now, what should i do if i get a fever? it's too risky to go out. the government is trying to reassure the public that

everything is under control. it's boosting vaccine production, rolling out more booster shots for the elderly, and ordering hospitals to increase capacity as intensive care units. but international health experts say china's lack of exposure to the virus over the past 3 years. and it's low vaccination rate among seniors means there's a risk that around a 1000000 people could die as the country rapidly transitions out of 0 cove. it's policy which had kimber al jazeera hong kong. dan wang is a chief economist at hang thing bank in china. she says that the transition of china's economic model has compounded the impact of cova 19 restrictions. right now what we see is that different cities are not on the same trajectory in their recovery. china has many density, pothole populated cities and in terms of production and consumption, the city services have already been quite depressed. and now people are even more

scared about spending. we have seen layoffs starting to take place in many of the major cities, including beijing in shanghai, and across many different industries, including finance and a real estate. and a faster solution continues, then we'll see much delayed response investment, especially from the private sector. it's safe to say now, the double digit growth era for china has been over. and it's not just because of coven, but also because a transition of china is growth engine used to be able to just build its way out by spending a lot of seeing infrastructure and housing. but we have seen that infrastructure spending as basically reaching an end because everything needed to be viewed basically are being built already. and the housing market has been quite surprised, mostly because of the intentional policy choice. so now china is facing a lot more competition and a lot more restriction. also from the u, as in europe,

it really needs to figure out a way to improve its productivity by innovation. but now the main concern is that the state own enterprises and public sector have been expanded. so massively since cove it and it's not very good for does transition into innovation based economy. peru has to create a city state of emergency in response to protests by supporters of acid president pedro castillo. security forces will have the power to stop demonstrations and such homes without warrants protests as a calling for castillo is release. he was jailed off to trying to dissolve congress last week. mariana sanchez, reports from lima a precedent. the never wanted to clear the country is now in a state of emergency as demonstrators in homeschool looted, stores burnt, a television station, and tried to from the airport. in another city who no protesters also tried to
