minutes, united states is committed to working toward our enduring goal of ensuring that the palestinians and israelis enjoy equal measures of freedom, security, opportunity, justice and dignity. america's top diplomat ends his tour of israel and the occupied palestinian territories with calls for com and a commitment to a 2 state solution. but tensions remain high and occupied east jerusalem, where palestinians brace for israel's plans to bulldoze their homes and despised families who strikes protests and disruptions across france. hundreds of thousands of protesters rally against the government plan to increase the age of retirement. for these are still being recovered from the rubble a day off to a suicide attack rip through a mosque in pakistan, killing more than a 100 people and hands off africa. o francis calls for an end to the exportation

of dia, congos, vast mineral wealth, joined the 1st people visit to the nation in nearly 40 years. and in sport, we've got the latest transfer news. as the deadline approaches across many of europe's top leagues, one of the deals being completed is arsenals, edition of italian, midfielder and georgina, he's joining the primary league leaders from london arrivals. chelsea ah through a sexy of states arrived in israel and the occupied palestine turret trees at a time of heightened attentions. but anne stayed. lincoln's visit did little to get pledges of de escalation from either side. he urged for com off to last week's deadly. as wally ray that killed 10 palestinians and an attack outside a synagogue in east jerusalem that left 7 people dead. he says some members of his

team will remain to help diffuse current tensions. but as with reports from ramallah, where a bank had met palestinian president, my, what a boss in his meeting with the palestinian president, the u. s. secretary of state sticks with the line that washington remains committed to a palestinian state alongside israel. but anthony, blinking knows its diminishing prospect. we have been clear and consistent. neither side should take any, you know, or actions that right now potentially would, would add fuel to a fire and over the medium to long term, i would make out the prospects of achieving 2 states even more distant than, than they currently are. so far, $35.00 palestinians have been killed this year in confrontations with israeli security forces. benjamin netanyahu returned to power in december and appointed far right. politicians and religious nationalists in senior cabinet posts one of them

national security minister, it mar, bank via has promised to give more gum permits to israeli citizens and expand the legal settlements in the occupied west bank. and in there's a very high risk of escalation. the, this new israeli government is very fast, it's far right on. it's very intent on committing inflicting violence upon palestinians. and in fact, you know, they're, they're political mandates are where, where premised on that. so i think in the weeks, in the months to come, we're going to see a cooler regime of occupation inflated upon the palestinian people. but mood abass and the palestinian authority are reliant on international pressure to make sure israel honors its commitments when it comes to the occupation of east jerusalem in the west bank. or we want a complete cessation of all unilateral is really actions that undermine all signed agreements. it is the main way back to re engage politically and end the occupation

for the heads of the jordanian and egyptian intelligence agency sat down with a bass, had his meeting with blinking an indication of the concern in the region about the security situation here. it's understood, they asked the palestinian president to adopt a flexible position with the americans. the palestinian authority wasn't expecting much reminds me of lincoln's visit, certainly not a commitment to re engage on the peace process with israel. the u. s. is concentrated on the war in ukraine. threats from iran and its relationship with china was certainly no evidence of any real pressure to stop a slide into a wider conflict. here. the palestinians are on their own. bernard smith al jazeera ramallah. i, let's bring an al zera's senior political analyst, mon, bashar, he joins us now from london alone. what do you make up? lincoln's visit? welcoming. it definitely song. so, you know,

kind and gentleman like soft spoken and he did her pick all the boxes said all that i things. but in the end of the day it sounded like he was quite misleading. i don't want to say dishonest because we don't judge the promise that way. but stephanie was misleading. because he continued to say a repeat the same mind throws up with hard 20 years ago, or at least 6 years ago, even when secretary of state john kerry, his predecessor in the biden obama administration gave his speech on december 28th 2016. he said that door is closing on the twist that solution. and yet 6 years later, the secretary of state continues to say, well, we have to think it step by step. it's like he's wishing the palestinians well, but knowing all too well that the settlements, the illegal settlements are expanding like cancer in the body of the provisional

palestinian state. and he knows that the israeli government is doing it and bubbling down and doing it, and he knows that this government is going to double the illegal settlements. and yet he continues to support the government on the basis of some sort of a mutual that is a mutual respect and not taking any measures to put pressure on israel's client asset. in order to move towards that vision of a 2 state solution. do you think is wally government will see this as a sigh as a green light to continue as it is doing, and indeed to escalate funding the violence? oh absolutely. i mean, in the sense that premise that it's an hour long thought in some form or another. but the americans are stupid. he thought that the american administration could be manipulated at wish,

that he knows america better than anyone else. and israel never needs to listen to what the an admission says and could use the help that they get from washington in order to do what they want. so they can, they hear the american saying what they want to, cuz once a se, but the end of the day israel does what it must. so that by their administration, said, from the outset that they're not going to judge this government on the basis of its personalities, but on the basis of its policies, what now we do know what its policies are and we've been seeing the outlawed state legislating horrific laws and taking measures, as i said earlier, that that contradiction to international law, including the expansion of indigo settlements. and yet in the secretary of state is only offering some aspirin. so the palestinians allowing vis rainy's to continue as

if he did say, ben can then say that concrete steps are going to be taken towards a 2 state solution that he wasn't gonna outlined them today. or when he was in the region, what could they possibly be? i have no clue to be honest. and i don't, i don't find that funny but it just, it's kind of a bit of a tragic comedy to be honest because i've been involved in this question for the past 50 years since it's 1st started back in 1991 in madrid. the lutheran 1993 in austin. so that's been 3 decades, right? 3 decades of more of the same we've, we've heard this language, you know, that concrete steps will be taken. and then you know, this agreement than, than the other agreement than the provisional agreement. and then there are things done in stages and then in phases. and then then we have to wait for this and that, and then there's another is really government. and that has to be judge of merit and so on, on foot, and so forth. so this has been going on for 30 years since the 1st democratic

administration in washington. the continent ministration signed off on the austell accord, sponsored the negotiations. and as israel, the sponsor, or i'll, i a defender lawyer, whichever you, you know, turn would like to use for the last 30 years. it's been kind of fed ingersoll to better do this or that, but not putting any real pressure on israel to stop the illegal circumvents. so that is all the is. instead of having 95000 illegal satler's, now we have 600000 the legal settlers, and this new government wants to double them. so wow, the sector of states say certain things, as i said, and the outset, i think it's him sleeping. it was a lot of fair enough to the janine raid and the the, the attack on the israelis outside the synagogue,

that the violence would keep escalade sing. it hasn't during his visit. he blink enough, said the senior members of his team staying put to try to prevent that violence from escalating as at the same time we all sing. protests thin faces where there are plan demolitions of houses by israelis of palestinian families. what do you think is gonna happen over the coming days and weeks? i think just need to underline just one particular fact. it's not an opinion, it's not a judgement, it's a fact. the occupation is a state of violence and occupations bring on more than half a censure. the settlements are legal as not an opinion as a fact and they are expanding. that's also not an opinion. it's a fact. and they are instigating violence. the settlers, honda, so 1000 on them. a lot of them are armed and dangerous. the israel army is, is

a blue for a thing, new battalions, thousands of new soldiers in the occupied thinkers. the palestinians feel in the absence of american prussia and real diplomacy that they have the right to resist the occupation this friday, pacific pacifists popular resistance that did not work out. we seem one or more palestinians, one to use on distance. that's also a fact not an opinion, and they feel they have every right to use whatever means necessary. apparently including violence in order to achieve their goals, hence violence in general, abstract therapy, as it almost meaningless. we have one party called the occupy in party occupation is a system of violence and the palestinians feel if there is no way there's no real diplomacy, not to stop solution, that they're going to have to use violence in order to achieve their goals. so any which way you look at it in the absence of real diplomacy, we're going to be seeing violence moving forward on the shower. they,

thanks taking time to join us that from london. now hundreds of thousands of people in france and protesting against the government plan to increase the age of retirement will, than $200.00 demonstrations are taking place across the country. that may labor union says half a 1000000 people gathered in paris alone. as into minute my cons, government was to raise the age of a time by 2 years to 64. as the 2nd nation, my protest against his proposal this month, the strikes of disrupted public transport and full schools to clay's gen how reports from paris. well, for a 2nd day, this month, very substantial crowd to take him to the streets in protest. and public sector strikes have happened against planned pension reforms and huge numbers here on the streets of powers have joined, adding their voice to opposition to those government plan. the central government of prime minister elizabeth born and of course,

president micron wants to raise the retirement age from 60 to 64. and to raise the number of years, the average work needs to contribute to the pension pot to be eligible for a state pension. from 41 years to 43, it is says the government not just necessary, but inevitable, the pension system. they say it over, but simply did not workers paying in to sustain pension payments, to retirees, as the french population lives longer. but opposition, as you can see, is stored 2 thirds of the population are against all the unions are against what is a macro and presidency signature policy to reform the social welfare system. it'll likely get through the national assembly with help from the conservative right. but the union site, they'll keep up the pressure with moss strike and protest days like this planned insisting that measures are unfair,

that they'll hurt the poorest most and demanding that the government tax, the rich instead. well, that's bring in the analysts, but mood takes, she's political coldness for the telegraph and joins us now from paris. so another huge day of protest. is there any sign that present my call is listening? i don't think this much of a sign that the president listening. it's very interesting the the previous day of strikes a week ago, he and 10 members of his cabinet were actually away from france and spain, signing a treaty with spain. and there is a feeling that the halt slog is entirely farmed out to his prime minister. the hardworking madam it is of it bo, it's also because of the, the debate as a natural assembly is only starting and on my whole doesn't want to sort of waste a sort of early state moves and, and, and make it will difficult fold either the bill to go through the,

the parliamentary discussion, but it's not necessarily a sort of very brave or indeed, or in the long term of the kind of attitude that's going to make him immensely popular. and these, he says, of these reforms are inevitable adela thing that's not making him very popular. is he correct when he says that all their inevitable they are inevitable because we have a pay as you go system in france, which means that whatever money i pay into, into sort of the social letters that goes immediately to pay for the pension of people who could be my neighbors, and it's not like a print out that i will do. i that i keep and i will get back what i saved in in the system. one system was created in 1946 and you had 8 people at work who paid for one single pensioner. so of course the system was very rich, you know, have fewer than 2 people slightly under that to pay for when pensioner. of course,

this is, you know, this is not viable and, and in that respect of the reform is necessary. but the french system has very complicated reform is also very complicated. and there's a great deal of haggling on the conditions of when do you leave? what happens if you started working, say, 17 or 18? what happens if you had children? what happens if you worked part time because you were the mother usually women world of losing on this one. and therefore you weren't taught at one time of your life. it's that's it's, i mean if they, if they will be hanging on most of this, i have reg as i, france does have one of the lowest retirement ages in western europe in the u. k. i believe a 66 background. just want to raise this one to 64. what fil tentative. will festival you can reach at now. now, right now at $62.00 and $2.00 students, $64.00. but most people elect to work on up to 5 lawyers because that means that

their pension will be better. it's defer to the actual a to retirement and falls at $64.00 or $62.00. now, that is something that was more defined by a negative, which is employees will not hire a people above the age of 50. and that's the reason we standards acceptable to go work for a period of time and people already do it. it's more about being an employee for several lawyers is something that people don't want to see in the structural employment and, and, but right now at age and a half percent. and it's always structural between 8 and a half to 10 percent. and elizabeth lou terry, great speak to you. thanks. taking time to join us from paris are also protest in belgium, where more than 10000 health workers are rallying against staff shortages. they've gathered in brussels, demanding better working conditions, and more pe, the countries hospitals have been hard hits as the coven 19 pandemic. the

government has acknowledged the problems, but is yet to come up with a plan. there's plenty more still ahead here on this knees our, including the international monetary fundraising, is global economic outlet for the 1st time in a year as inflation. we look at the impact. so the military coup, answering violence is, has on the children of man law. and his votes, this divisive tennis star finally finds out his face. those details later on the shag, ah, at least a 101 people have been killed in monday, suicide bomb attack at a mosque in northwest and pakistan. the attack happened inside what was thought to be a highly secure police compound and push our an inquiry committee has been tasked to look into the security lapse and what's been described as negligence. i said bake

reports. this is all that remains of the mosque in the police compound, in the shower, investigate, to say, a suicide bomber blew himself up. during often, pres, hundreds of worshippers were inside the mosque in a highly fortified redstone, which includes a police headquarters and the counter terrorism unit. raising concerns about a major security breach. while you're sure that it also, while you're sure it is a matter of great condemnation that terrorists can enter a government department. if the government department don't have security, what safety can they provide us? a faction of the whole week at ali barn boxed on the box is only 30 bon claimed responsibility saying it's the 4th suicide attack in retaliation for the killing of khalid horizontally. one of its senior leaders in afghanistan last year. but the groups leadership has since distance itself from the bombing st. holy places should

not be targeted. prime minister shabazz sharif has condemned the attack and promised stern action. he says, terrorism is a country's biggest security challenge. the books only taliban has threatened and talked to security forces in recent weeks with buddy's or her visual to be colored with the little guy her order. this is not the 1st time this kind of bombing has happened since 2060 thousands of people have lost their lives. and we have had enough of terrorism here who took here in november, the group and did the cease fire with the pakistani government yet. and heard yet this month released this video of fighters training promising more attacks and declaring its intention to impose a hard line interpretation of islamic law. the group has been raging a war against the boxed on the government for more than a decade. last year, it carried out at least $150.00 attacks, killing dozens of people. analysts say the group has been emboldened since that ali bonds returned to power in afghanistan in august of 2021. it's evident the

hague authority born is targeting security forces. once again, even in places of worship, assault bag, i'll g 0. come, i'll hide our reports, our phone, the sight of the explosion, impish, our, i'm standing on. what was the roof of the mosque? edwards afternoon prayer, the suicide bomber had placed himself in the front row of the congregational prayer, and i did renew detonator, did their wife. although demand rescue and relief and recovery effort and now over, you can still find the rescue teams here in order to ensure that nobody is still under the rubble and unaccounted fall. this had been a difficult operation gutted out in the dead of the night. but it had also left difficult questions for the or tartar did what were doing when they knew that they were the security threat. intelligence agency had daughter your daughter, dean,

that suicide bombers had penetrated into that video for jaw. that they were the tent of an eminent or die, but they took it lightly on into a joint investigation. we're looking into how the suicide bomber entered into such a highly sensitive and well secured area. who all his facilitates his. where did he come from? how did he make it here? all those responsible will be treated with an iron fist that had a sense of complacency. people have go on to forward happened hair, harder to suicide bomber getting presenter, sensitive blade on 3rd are needed by the people who are angry. they're asking difficult question by the administration under tartar did, except for 4 door for junior did well tell you that there isn't a fight against the day to day. what the people wanted to go to dig. hundreds of policemen were brendan care, dead or for soldiers or in short peace and security in that country. but they are

now the most vulnerable. and we have seen an increase in spirit of our dogs against a policeman who have been complaining that they don't have sophisticated equipment . they don't have flag jacket, they don't have the kind of sophisticated weapons that the dentist are using. is isabella's these girls and i have brief, the prime minister to provide funds to our province to enhance the capacity of our security forces. they face a new surge of terrorism, but unfortunately, he said the country is facing a financial crisis and it's hard to extend to helping hand re berlin bog. it's. donna rendered great sacrifices over the past few years, or what 80000 people have laid down their lives in this country. and i've got the big question now. is it the administration able to cope with the new challenge? people are asking difficult question. the thread is very high, the enemy ordered grocery it really quick and also committed. and it will be a huge challenge in order to guarantee this new spike and violence that dig

a dollar bond bug. it's donna been able to bring and sophisticated weapons from of one it's dawn. they are now trying to gain a fort gordon budget dawn. and it will be a huge challenge for that security apparatus in order to ensure that the sacrifices of the people of budget dawn do not go in reign. russia claims to have captured a village on the north of the outskirts of ukrainian city of backlit is located in the salt mining town of sola dar, which recently came under control of russian forces and wagner, mass, and raised the battle for backwards has been raging for months and the fighting has intensified in the past few weeks. human rights watch is accusing crane of using banned anti personnel land mines against russian forces. it says 50 civilians including 5 children, were wounded and half of the injuries resulted in amputations. most of the mines as gases in the northeastern area of ism, which was under russian control until september. ukraine agreed to the mind ban

treaty in 1997 and destroyed much of its soviet stock by 2020. but a year later, cave reported the more than $3000000.00 anti personnel mines were yet to be destroyed. as being in steve case, he's exec, subtract at human rights watch on division, and joins us from putney in vermont. good to have you with us. can you describe to us these mines that the ukrainians were allegedly using? these are not your typical minds that you think of that the soldiers to go whole and put them into the ground or lay them on top of roads. these are scattered minds, fired from rocket systems. they're very small. they're often called butterfly mines because of their bright green color. and they have what this will look like a little wings on either side. but the extraordinarily dangerous. there are some a lot more dangerous minds that exist in the world, and they're very attractive to children and others who think of their toys. what

response have you had from the ukrainians when you presented them with this report? just this morning. we got a message from the ministry of foreign affairs where they did not deny the use on. they didn't acknowledge the, there was a did not deny. they said they were going to analyze our report in great detail. welcome that statement. why do you think keith didn't destroy all of its anti personnel mines the full when, when it said that it had it did not ever say it destroyed all of its mines. it had been trying to destroy its minds for any number of years. it's a complicated story and we're, it's both ukraine and the donors who have not come together to destroy the remaining $3000000.00 mines. the questionnaire. are those 3000000 mines in his church place?

or are they removed from actors service which we were told they were, but it appears now that li, some are available for youth. what do you plan to do with this report with this information? how will you take it, father? well, we would like to see grain recommit itself to the mind and trading the one you mentioned . the 1997 mind ban treaty and commit to nov. deuce oh, that i personal minds to conduct a thorough investigation of what has happened and to hold responsible, hold accountable. anybody who was part of this activity. and then i would like to see them secure the stocks and help the remove the minds clear the minds and help the victims steve, case wearily. good. speak team. thanks taking the time's join us that from vermont . thank you. now the u. k. prime minister says it's not practical

to supply ukraine with fighter jets where she's to next office said training ukrainian forces on extremely sophisticated british maint warplanes would take time . he has been pushing as western allies to provide fighter jets had said to receive more than a 120 battle tanks to help fight russian forces. and u. s. as hoping to buy up to a 100000 doll tillery shells from south korea, so it can give them to ukraine. u. s. defense actually lloyd austin is in. so for talks, some estimates suggest that ukraine's army is using the shells at twice the rate that the u. s. and a you can produce them. south korea has a policy of not selling weapons to countries that are at war. rob mcbride reports from sol, the global search for 155 millimeters shells for ukraine's guns has now turned to south korea, which doesn't want to antagonize russia because of its influence over north korea. right now ukraine is getting through about $90000.00 shells per month. that's

double the rate at which they're being produced by both the us and europe combined . the u. s. has reserves here, and it's buying more than 100000 shells from south korea to replenish stocks, being sent to ukraine. that way soul can help its western allies without contributing directly to the war effort. living conditions from evil inside man mars kaya state continued to deteriorate any 2 years after a military crew, only one and a half 1000000 people and now thought to have fled their homes. and basic services across the country have failed. teddy chang reports from kaya estates on the impact, the violence has had on children. it been largely cut off from education and health care for these children. this was the highlight of a difficult 2022. and this year shows little sign of improvement. most have been forced from their homes for fear of air strokes and artillery attacks. but as the

gifts are handed out, the smiles return bags of snacks and cake. a rare indulgence in difficult times. a dig, i've seen children with trauma because of the sounds of war, plains and artillery. they won't speak to strangers because they're so scared when they draw. i see pictures of gums and abandoned homes. the parents are too busy trying to earn a living and can't take care of them. these aid handouts are all funded from donations within myanmar. international organizations can't operate because of fighting and restrictions put in place by mere mars military. cleared r i. c malnutrition, amongst the children. there are grown ups and outlay people who aren't getting enough to 8. and they have problems maintaining their personal hygiene because of being forced out of the homes. in another camp close to the city of da, most of the women do their laundry and the pools above a waterfall. an estimated 75 percent of the people in the states have been forced from their homes by fighting basic facilities like running water and electricity

has stopped working. even the journey to school is now in a venture. these high school students must were across a river in a dug out canoe just to get to class english lessons in the jungle. clearing the teenagers, study for future jobs in the service industry. but it's hard to concentrate in these make shift classrooms and teachers don't even have the basic educational too severe. too. tim earhart, we want to open up higher education, but getting access to the internet and books for the library is still difficult. we're trying to solve this for most children in this area, even a basic education and plans for the future. sim, a long way, all the best. they can hope for a hot meal and they're lucky. a full stomach. tony chang, elders are sarah, had her on al jazeera, another debates in peruse. congress elections was protested, continue to call for the president to resign. and these players are taking

a break from that $9.00 to $5.00 jobs to compete in the club. well hope that story coming up in school ah how low they will have a look at africa in a moment. first to the middle east and unsettled weather continues to pilot off eastern areas of the mediterranean, bringing some very heavy rain and strong winds to the likes of israel and occupied palestinian territories as well as syria, jordan, and onwards to iraq. going to some very wintry across eastern areas of turkey blowing across into western areas of iran could even see some flooding from that very heavy rain in iraq over the next few days. for the south of this, a settled picture for many of the gulf states, the temperatures picking up towards the mid twenties. if they're not, they're ready now was a move to the north of africa. very cold,

seen across many northern areas. wet and windy weather continues. foot in india as well as libya and egypt, the strong bluster we winds, kicking down, bringing the potential of dust and sandstorms. the heat continues for nigeria, the wet weather is for the south of this. with some severe thunderstorms expected to pile into gabon, wessa weather as well for southern areas of botswana and those thunderstorms continued to dominate the eastern areas of south africa, rolling into equity. by the time we get into thursday. and unfortunately, the wet weather continues to played madagascar as well as the northern areas of mozambique at your weather update. ah, african stories from african perspective if conditions select wireless cuz you're with. ready short

documentary from african filmmakers from book, you know, fast filled and head. for me, it's really important to teach. the president comes in do something that i can be proud of. the painter and she hands bench africa direct on al jazeera, our diets define who we are. but who are we? if we don't know what we're eating in a disturbing investigation into globalized food fraud, people and power reveals long hidden scandalous practices. the infiltrated international wholesale markets and supermarket chains and asks, what's really on our plates. food in glorious food on to one out just sierra ah

ah, kind of again, you're watching al jazeera has reminder of our top stories this hour. he was actually a state anthony, blinking has concluded his trip to israel and the occupied palestinian territories . however, he says, some members of his team will remain to help defuse current tensions that he met palestinian president, mackwood abbas during which he called for de escalation with the israelis a number of deadman the suicide attack. and pakistan has risen to 101 rescue teams of work through the night to recover bodies from a mosque in the heavily fortified area of a shower. mass funerals have been held and hundreds of thousands of people in france have joined nature. why strike some protests against pension reform government plan to raise the age of retirement to $64.00 public transport and being disruptive down schools before the close. let's return to our top story section of

states, visits of palestine or palestinians, and occupied east jerusalem protesting against planned israeli demolitions of homes of suspected attackers. on tuesday, the israeli parliament moved closer to passing a bill to revoke his rarely citizenship or as residency status from palestinians involved in a tax tension has been rising in the occupied palestinian territories since israel dead the rage on the jenin refugee camp last week in which 10 palestinians were killed vessels, ada reports from occupied east jerusalem, that i did some clashes to confrontation between palestinian protest. there's andy israeli war, their police here. so 15 palestinians were injured by israeli forces, starting formerly on palestinian residence or german mac cabot. have gathered in several parts of the district and trying to below the roads by the garbage trucks, by rocks, and also setting fire on pi years erecting the barricade. and all these are fort

worth to prevent the valley. border pool is and the boulder they're getting into the area because earlier this week, the israeli cast security cabinet had announced some of the direct connie intuitive measures which many of the human rights groups say that some of them are, are causes truth in collective punishment. but also these decisions made by the valid security cabinet, many palestinians in double cab or have received calls from the israeli or authority that they have been told there, that they houses are going to be demolished. so up to that, you, mom's local mom, here through the mall, they have made announcement and asking people for the seniors and deb cabra, to join a general strike and to join the protest, and also to below the road to prevent these very bold, they're getting occupied east jerusalem and 30000 palestinians are living here. so we can see that the moon is quite has here among the seniors because they feared

that the home could be the next of outlook for the world. economy is growing slightly brighter me. i am at the latest round up as cautiously optimistic sang growth in asia means 2023 could mean the global economy is taking a turn for the batter. and despite being hit with sanctions, russia, the economy is also predicted to grow the investor. avi has more for anyone who began to year worried about a global recession. 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 men, 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. but this is definitely 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 than 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 i m f warns there is still likely to be a slow down this year just not as extreme. and an escalation of the war in ukraine or another pandemic could turn the tide again. same basra b o. d 0 way improved outlook doesn't apply to the united kingdom. it's economy will shrink and perform worse than other advanced nations. under simmons reports from london, the forecasts may come as no surprise to the city and its markets, but for the british people, it casts even more gloom on their mood. during this cost of living crisis, the i'm f says the u. k. economy isn't just bottom of the pile and the list of g 7 countries, it's worth them out of all the emerging markets and all the advanced economies, the u. k. economy is the only one that's shrinking the m f and originally forecast

some buoyancy in the u. k economy growth that 0.3 percent. that figure has sunk. it's now the other way. 0.6 percent contraction. compare this to the russian economy blighted by sanctions. its growth is 0.3 percent. that's 2 and a half percent up on last year. you only have to witness the escalating industrial unrest over wages to realize how bad things have become in the u. k. on wednesday, the country will see the biggest number of people on strike. in nearly a decade, most aspects of life here are now being affected by strikes. so what's the called? the i m f, there's high energy prices rising, mortgage costs increase, tax and persistence shortage of workers. the i m f says things will get better.

it's predicting a 0.9 percent growth in 2024. but that forecast isn't enough. to put kate the people at the u. k. right now. i process has called for an end the exploitation of natural resources by foreign powers in democratic republic of congo . the leader of the roman catholic church is in conjunction for a 4 day visit. he warned that the congo, suffering a forgotten genocide and denounced what he described as a poison of grees at stoking the conflict. pontiff will travel to south sudan on friday. welcome web is live for us in that can jasper america is a very strong word from the pope at the start of this visit. yeah. after he landed the international airport, he drove through the city, greeted by tens of thousands of cheering followers, went straight to the presidential palace where he met connally, president, felix,

just to kitty and other congress politicians where he said these things. and he said the political exploitation here in democratic republic of congo giving way to economic colonialism which he describes is equally and slaving. so that sounds like a reference in the 1st to the colonial pass, belgium colonized was now democratic republic of congo. and it was the belgian color that brought catholicism here 130 years ago. but what was possibly even stronger was what pope francis said about politics. hearing con guy. and he said that must be credible elections now. president felix to security was announced the winner of the last election 4 years ago, but leaked documents shows the election was rigged. the next elections due at the end of this year and political opposition here as well as the catholic church,
