the global demand for highlighting concerns about global economic recovery this yeah. ah, i'm out there in life and coming up a special council is appointed to investigate the discovery of classified documents in the us, presidents home and former office. i was refusing to back down supporters of peruse after president demands new elections, plus more on the athletes from a small town and canyons refinery have accidentally become embroil into ah, so we begin in china where the latest economic data has prompted fears of a further slow down in the global economy, spite of record annual traits up this last year, chinese exports in december fell to their lowest since the beginning of the

pandemic. in february 2020 demand has been hits as china's largest trading partner united states and europe risk slipping into recession. 2023 great forecasts for the world's 2nd largest economy have been kept from roughly 8 percent to run 5 percent . that's after rapidly spreading outbreaks following bay genes, decisions and ditches 0, have a policy last month, which kimber has more now, from hong kong. holding out hope for a recovery. these days, fruit salad, mrs. gwen has few customers, but she's keeping her shop in waging open and hoping the upcoming loot a new year will bring some good fortune to tell you that our businesses lie, restaurants are doing much better. nowadays. there are more customers sees the government east cove igniting policies, but i am selling fruit and nuts, and serves us do not good. these things are not daily necessities. and since people

don't have their money, they are more careful with spending a widespread coated 19 outbreak in china in recent weeks has crippled consumer spending. millions of people have caught the virus or stayed at home in the hope of avoiding it. the government says everything is under control, but there is science is rapid dismantling of pandemic policies. last month is undermining the economic, rebound exports fell in december and factory production shrink the most since long term locked downs. 8 months earlier. in some places, frustration is boiling over the factory and central china police confronted workers who are protesting against layoffs and low wages. and let's say that chinese cove at $900.00 challenges have global implications. as some of the world's biggest companies, from automakers to smartphone makers that they think disruptions to their chinese production lines. apple is reported to be accelerating plans to shift some of its

operations to india and vietnam supply chain analysts say that set to become a growing trend. salt bar, you can predict it's not going to be predictable. that's the, that's the problem that borders everyone. and if you just try to draw a contrast between china and let's say, even in many countries, in se, asia, the policies are much more predictable. they are not ticking, they have not been taken such an extreme measure to, to control goal. and effect is actually basically more in ny, all the western companies economists are forecasting a longer term turnaround. many predict that after coven 19 infections of peaked china could still achieve annual growth of almost 5 percent. but for businesses that rely on chinese spending and manufacturing a long term recovery may be too long to wait. richard kimber, al jazeera in hong kong. while mattie be king is

a china director of the economist intelligence corporate network and has more on the challenges for china's economy in 2023. i don't think anyone anticipated that china would go from having probably the restrictive, restrict us restrictions anywhere on the world to almost nothing. and just a matter of weeks and you've seen that kind of the authorities now trying to navigate, searching infractions and pressures on health care system. so whereas we previously previously had supply chain disruption because of china is kind of on off the economy, the threat of flash locked downs and 0. cobit, we now have concerns about supply chain disruption because of outbreak. and the inability of kind of supply chain of low normally. and so it does have implications . i think we're trying to competitiveness and you know, the recovery overall that we've also seen in 2020 to a lot of these and foreign investors hit the pause button on china because of the uncertainty of 2022. now, some of that and certainty with global disruption of omi crime, highly transmissible,

the kind of implications on kind of energy security commodities prices because of the war and frank ukraine inflation brought about in part because of central bank policy related to the pandemic. some of those were global challenges, but 0 cobit and some of the other more structural issues kick there on the property sector are you need to china. so i think the question, in terms of what needs for global economy more broadly, is whether investor confidence will be bullied enough to kind of see that f d i money flowing back in to see see, it's kind of really be committing to the china market after a year where many been asking whether they need to think about risk resilience for their global business in a way that kind of manages around china, including china, to attract the market to abandon of course. but you know how trying to fit in the bigger picture. a special council has been appointed to investigate us president j biden's handling of sensitive government documents has been revealed. a 2nd set of papers was found to december. this time at his private home in delaware, the 1st batch of files was uncovered at one of biden's form offices 2 months ago,

of from his lawyer, richard sobber, and at the end he said we are confident that they are a thorough review will show that these documents were inadvertently misplaced, still, it's in administration under increased scrutiny earlier this week, while biden was at a summit in mexico, the white house admitted lawyers found similar secret papers and a washington d. c. think tank called the pen biden's center. the president says he doesn't know what's in those documents, but the discovery has prompted charges of hypocrisy. in january 2022 classified documents were found at the florida residents of former president donald trump. a justice department special council is also looking into that case. biden has called trump totally irresponsible from his handling the classified materials. another fo paul by the bible administration. but treating lot

differently based upon your political beliefs. it's one president trump one way, but treats president by in the whole different way. president biden's republican critics are also questioning why it took so long for the biden administration to reveal the existence of the documents. the 1st batch was discovered on november 2nd just days before the congressional mid term election. it only became known to the public this week. kimberly, how can al jazeera, the white house adjourn. police in germany have are attempting to evict, protested from the village of nissan for a 3rd day demonstrated through stones and fireworks at officers on thursday. they want to stop the village from being to morrow. so a coal, mine can be expanded. please say 200 people left voluntarily on wednesday, but about 300 remain a let's go straight to the produce come master bathroom is standing by for says that what is the latest? ah, well, this is

a day 3 of the eviction annapolis has evicted quite a large part of the village of lit. so had already a lot of 3 houses and these wooden structures have been removed. but there is still houses here standing out with activists inside. i can show you around to police. it's right there. so the situation is that are closing in to the last couple of houses here and looks at that are still being occupied. and the problem today is that police has now realized that there's a tunnel underneath the village where at least 2 activist are still hiding. they don't know exactly where they are and they also don't know how to get inside of that tunnel. it seems to be quite a ton of structure. it's right over there somewhere. but i'm standing here on a sort of balcony structure and i'll show you. this is sort of the last house where dozens of activists are still inside. you can see one of them sitting here in the

window is watching out for police to come. police as i sat, it's right there. and most of them are now many of them already on the roof. they have decided to go as high as possible. so it will be very difficult for police to get to them when they come inside. and i'm going to talk to talk to mulder, who is one of the activist here. so police is actually you can see the fight right in front. so you think if it, if it is eminence while they put up lights, they've got us locked in by cops and they are bringing in the equipment. we believe that the addiction of this house, which does seem to be the last remaining, occupies the instruction, is imminent. however, you mentioned the tunnels. the important thing is that when to morrow, tens of thousands come with a demonstration to the thought that there is still one activist as it was, that the movement remains here. and then of the $50000.00 people, no doubt, thousands will try re occupied it so that that is our goal. if we manage to stay with one person and we can save lives without,

a temporary expansion of the mind we needed because of the energy crisis and the war a new grade doesn't make sense. well, 1st of all, i don't know if they've been paying attention, but we live right in the middle of a climate emergency. it's simply not an option for one of the wealthiest countries in the world to spend another 8 in fact. and country wide 18 years i. 16 is burning the dirtiest of all fossil fuels that is not on. you can see what we need a bit more growth. we need a bit more jobs, like not the fucking future. the world is on the line, but the company one says and the lights will go out. i mean, it's a very and that was very light. suddenly going out around the world, people are being drowned, people are dying. people are burning to death in india and pakistan. tens of thousands side and heat waves. can't be oceans are the one on record last year was a, it's not as a mega sheets, kill tens of thousands of people like this is like the climate emergency is so much worse than the lights going off for a while. and industrialized countries have been living essentially with the kind of not i pray, nor the delusion that aside from a beside us that the flood,

essentially we've been living on the corpses of folks in the global self and that us, that we finally get hit by some of the problems that we have. so just for it seems only fair. thank you so much for joining us on that program. as you see, he's still here insider. still people people are on the road for the police. it's like literally 3 or 5 meters away from us now, or instead we'll be back with you as the day goes on. thanks very much indeed. and just to apologize for the language, you might have heard the emotions clearly running very high. now more protests have taken place in peru to demand the resignation of president dina blue arte demonstrate is also wanted an to police violence. the protest became last month when president pedo castillo was impeached and arrested supporters. won't you elections? at least 43 people have been killed, most of them civilians, maryland sanchez is more not friendly. people have been marching in the center of the capital. it's been quite tant,
