rates to 2 and a half percent. it could reach 3 percent very soon. i mean, yesterday i did see pro friend a very interesting analysis, a combination or a summary of all 2023 forecast from goldman sachs, morgan stanley, jeff morgan, and the light and the old show indications worse than 2008 crisis. we've seen trends, we haven't seen number of stock market decline, percentages of stock market, the erosion of the new ations, the pricing of all asset classes. if you look at the private equity space, you see that the repricing of us and the private equity is worth that 08 now. but how do we curve this? is it by raising interest? ok, is it to say and g curb demand? that's correct. but what do you do to do the inflation, which is caused by shortage and the supply chain crisis. this does not,

an anti aircraft batteries along the border are also frequently attacked. israel says men of it strikes are aimed at stopping armed groups in syria that are linked to iran. these include groups like his beloved well nava siobhan is a researcher at the oman center for strategic studies. he says that israel's raids and syria are usually aimed at very specific targets since 2013. until now there was 23 hits direct text to the airport international airport. and it's usually target a specific thing, either cargo or a building or an airplane. but the thing is, these heads are only targeting and limited at the time, object or target. it did not target the whole potential strategy of the wrong. that's why we, we are still seeing that you're not until today. they are using the airport until today. they're not being able to ex, for some of their weaponry either to his room or to the militia and inside syria.

so the problem is, is right when they conduct that a strike basically will knock that in a way that eliminate a specific target at a specific time, not to eliminate the whole plan or strategy of your on inside this region. that's why we are still witnessing the same head. that's why we're still witnessing the same threat of these are sometimes, yeah, there is a high possibility of targeting civilian. the main problem of these is the presence of your on or why you're on the still using this work to. so for most of the american military forces or militia, or has the law is really forces have arrested 15 palestinians in different areas of the occupied west bank. the overnight raids were concentrated mainly in not this hebron and janine huston and me to say the detainees were taken to israeli jails on charges of resisting the occupation. when janine to con stevens have been killed in

another area of the occupied westbank by israeli forces is ready place entered the town of a confir done to demolish the homes of to palestinians, accused of killing. and it's really offset last september was our high rats joins us live, not from the game for sarah, tell us more about these jeanine demolitions. that's right. well, the israeli forces turned off on sunday nights and they saw demolishing homes of 2 young palestinians on these 2 young palestinians carried out from the talk in september on a on israeli checkpoints. and what ended up happening there was a cross fire, they were killed and at the same time and israeli soldier was killed. this is something that the israeli forces tend to do, especially when there are israeli victims. they will find the homes that belong to those that carried out any attacks and they will carry out demolitions, and this is not the, this is certainly the fast this year, but last year, so quite

a few demolitions and by the united nations report that was released just last month said that more than more than $950.00 policy millions had lost their homes as a result of these demolitions now some of those homes will i to the humanitarian homes that will housing them because they didn't have any wet to live. not just gives you a sense of the tensions all happening here as a result of these demolitions that happened overnight. they were cautious between the palestinians in the area and the israeli forces. as a result of that to palestinians died, the palestinian, the health ministry has also confirmed that they have been 3 injuries and one of those injuries is critical. and this is something that was thing a lot more and we will see a lot more in 2023 with this new government and saw there also earlier raves and the rest in different areas of the occupied west by tell us about that.

yeah. well, since i saw you last broke, this news, there's been an increase in the numbers and the palestinian prison association has confirmed they said that 30 full policy indians have been killed in these overnight . right. these raise happen in multiple locations amongst those raise. they said what some children now the raise that happened were in places like ramallah and novelists in hebron, and these are all part of the occupied was fine, which has been a huge surge intention, especially in 2022. it's been in fact the most violence classes that we've been seeing between the palestinians and israeli forces in more than a decade since suddenly since 2005 with more than always, 200 palestinians were killed just in 2022. and there are concerns because this new israeli government that was sworn in just a few days ago is

a coalition government led by prime minister benjamin netanyahu has returned to office is the longest serving israeli prime minister. his party is the crew party, but they hot to. 1 form a coalition with the most right wing government, the israel has seen and the most ultra orthodox and width that comes very much a rhetoric that they are already starting to try and implement. we have the been there who is the basically in charge of the police and way has on precedent policy over the police. the law was set especially for him to bring him into paul. and he has made it clear that the israeli settlements he plans will be expanding. he already said that he wants to visit ox most compound this week, which in itself is a very controversial move and not just shows you the direction that the israeli government is taking. they've all the see already been expanding on that some of

the last few years, but they all actually pushing that as one of the top of guidelines in there. a guideline agenda that they released last week where they said that the a, the, the jews have a right to exist and that they will continue to expand those settlements. there are lots of concerns that 2022 was one of the toughest and most violent years for palestinians. and this is pitts concert going to potentially continue into the new year. and we're already seeing that and that certainly only day 2 of this year. okay. sorry, thanks very much indeed for that update. we're still ahead on al jazeera after years of tenths relations between columbia and venezuela. the bridge linking the 2 nations reopened reassessed the economic benefits and will tell you why people and that simple. we and sound bureau facing electricity coast. ah
