7:17 pm
way across into southern india. we've got some watches out for thomas now. do as well as carola for strong winds. storms with possible lightning and of course heavy rain for the north of this much dry a picture. those fall conditions have ease slightly up in the north, wet and winter weather shifted away. but look at that. it starts to come back on thursday with some snow pulling into afghanistan as well as pakistan and mountainous regions of india. that was we moved to east asia, the winter weather continues to affect japan. we are expecting more heavy snow to push into her car as well as blizzards that's likely to bring some disruption to transport here. temperature, however, still clinging on toward the mid teens in tokyo and osaka. behind that though, we are going to see things cool down beijing hitting 2 degrees soul. one degrees celsius maximum high on thursday, as that wintery weather starts to blow. and you can see that coming in to the west . shanghai staying cloudy at 7 degrees celsius on thursday,

7:20 pm
it may be time to breathe more easily. the international monetary fund is highlighted activity in india and china as fuel for a world economy on the meadow, more growth, less inflation, cheaper energy, and an inching back to pre pandemic markets. all the indications are that we are witnessing a rapid reopening of the economy. and so here, when we think about the reopening of the chinese economy, it's going to have an impact on the supply side. because we can anticipate that once the economy fully reopened, we have less supply chain disruptions that we have witnessed in 2022 when they were logged downs and confinements. so we're going to get an expansion in production coming from that side. chinese household activity returning to normal and people traveling once again, are expected to drive the countries recover and ripple through the global economy. we've got an estimate for every one percentage point that china goes faster, the rest of the world corresponds to point 3. so this is definitely
7:21 pm
a positive development with covered 1900 restrictions lifted. chinese growth is forecast at 5.9 percent double previous estimates. but beyond asia, the picture is less bright. western economies, the u. s. in europe are only expected to grow about one percent. while the u. k. economy is set to worse raising interest rates makes borrowing in the u. s. more expensive, but whether the world's largest economy can avoid a recession, remains an open question. and in the majority of low income countries, the risk of economic distress remains real. if not already a reality. while the baseline forecast is positive, the m f warns there is still likely to be a slow down this year just not as extreme. and an escalation of the war and ukraine or another pandemic could turn the tide again. the in basra, v o. d 0 by process has arrived in democratic republic of congo, just thought to have africa large if catholic community leader of the roman

7:23 pm
one of the things that makes it because i brought this is expected to take this the reason why the neighboring rwanda type is on the visit is if the counseling, hearing those very outside habits. and i think the seventy's allowed it to my probing, holding on guys, rulers now protest as a marching through the streets of france and a national day of action against raising the age of retirement. demonstrators are
7:24 pm
against president of, i knew my con plan to raise the pension age by 2 years to 64. it's the 2nd time this month that nationwide, protests have been held, strikes for rail services to hold. and for many schools to close to a hall report from the street, the parent is about a plan by the central government to raise the retirement age from $62.00 to $64.00 that would still make from the country with the lowest retirement age. among major economies in the european union, and why didn't that isn't in germany? 67, spite of 65, big u. k of 66 looking to push that potentially to 68. also to increase the number of years that you've got to contribute across, you're working lifetime to the pension talks to get a full state pension. from 41 years to 43, the government says the rationale is perfectly simple. they just thought enough workers contributing to the pension bought to be able to sustain pension payments,
7:25 pm
to retiree, as the population here lives longer, they say you simply have to reduce the burden on the pension system. but plenty of opposition out here is you can see it's a signature policy of the macro and president. it was in his manifestos that got him reelected last year. but as a say no shortage of opposition. 2 thirds of the country against a ratio of unity among the unions, all the unions against as well. 3 emergency medical responders have been fired in the u. s. city of memphis following the death of an unarmed black man at the hands of police. and warning that you may find some of the following images disturbing. the peace of an accused, medics have been accused of failing to conduct a proper medical assessment and provide adequate patient care to tyreen nichols. 5 officers of already been dismissed for beating him during a traffic stop. the 29 year old died 3 days later, of his injuries. with
7:26 pm
a 5 officers who beats the young black men are also black actions are raising questions about race and policing. because under reports for memphis, tyree nicholas a young black man beaten so badly by police, he died from his injuries. the 5 memphis officers were fired and faced criminal charges for the beating. all share something in common with nickels, skin color, and that has not been lost on people here. how do you feel the fact it all 5 officers were black? do you have any thoughts on that or no, i have a lot of thoughts on that. i said it's for it to be our own, and i'm going to speak on my behalf of my community for it to be our own black brother brothers out there doing it to another black brother. actually, the shots are hard because we preach every day that black lives matter and you know, the white man is the problem behind this and nat, but for it to be our own people doing this to another black brother is more devastating than ever historically in the united states, the job of being
7:27 pm
a police officer, was reserved for white men. but the last 10 to 15 years or so, there's been a push to change that. that thinking goes like this. hiring more, a black police officers, primarily in cities with large black populations, would help diversify the force and bring down cases a police brutality. memphis, perhaps, proving that theory was all wrong. the city of memphis is about 65 percent black, and about half the police force are african american officers. one important lesson to draw from this is to not be naive into believe credit we. so we put black people in the positions of power, but we don't change anything else that things are going to get there. and that will not work well. some analysts say the issue is not skin color, but systematic problems with policing. they go beyond memphis. the problem is the
7:28 pm
sort of thin, blue line culture in general, right? this idea that the police believe that they stand between order and disorder in they are the notes sort of operating in u. s. society to protect order. but really what that is meant is they're operating to protect those who have wealth. they operate to protect private property and they operate to police to folks whom they might see as threats to that. as for the family of terry nichols, they just want justice regardless of the skin color of those accused. gabriel is hondo out is eda memphis in the estate of minnesota outdoor hockey, played on fries and lakes and ponds has been a tradition for generations. the climate change is changing over that, as john henderson reports, in the long winters of minnesota hockey as a way of life, the colder, the better. we enjoy
