been praised for his swift mobilization to the impacted areas. but the opposition, even before this has been very critical of on what you're hearing is a nother semi truck with good levy, this acquisition center. obviously this energy is being fueled by the knowledge that goods are on the way to those desperate for help, right? as i was saying, the economy is going to loom very large over the election, and that is something that is hitting everyone here in turkey with an 80 percent inflation rate. okay, thank you, natasha. thank you so much for that update from stumble. still a heads on al jazeera, we have other news coming up in pakistan's, former president, profess mature of his late to rest in karachi. also, new findings show that the world is producing more single use plastic than ever before.
