people, major reforms and govern appointments. i expected at the event as well as the final formalization of precedent. she's 3rd term. it's go straight to a corresponding katrina. you has falling all the developments from beijing katrina . so talk us through the issues on the agenda, especially related to the economy but it looks like a full dating economic recovery is really going to be front and center for the chinese government going forward. this year we had a g d p target applied percent announced, which is on the low end of what some analysts were predicting. they were predicting figures high 6 percent. so what that does tell us is that instead of focusing on pro pro growth, aggressive progress policy, aging, it's really going to focus instead on being matic and shaved lives in the economy. and that is because of course we saw a 5.5 percent g d p target set to 2022. and china really failed to hit that we only

had, according to official figured scores of 3 percent. and premier leak a chunk. so that was largely due to challenges around the pandemic and increasingly difficult international situation. he referred to as a choppy waters when it comes to the international situation. it was fairly overall . a sobering assessment given by primarily because when it came to china's economic performance last year, he said that there was a hit on consumer spending. that investment suffered, there was a rise, an unemployment. so going forward over the next few days, while the nbc is taking place or expected to see more policies which will address those problems. boosting confidence, boosting the domestic economy, slowing down the creation of 12000000 new jobs up from last year. it's also new focus or a renewed focus on innovation and technological self reliance. and that is also related to what he said with the many challenges that trying to face of the head

going forward when it came to the global economy. specifically, he remarked on increased inflation, decreased trade, and also what he said was escalating attempts to suppress china. no doubt veiled reference to the u. s. and increasing competition and increasing tension between washington and beijing and katrina. we've also had in the last 10 minutes or so that china intends to expand its defense budget. we expecting that we weren't taking an expansion of the defense budget. we, but we weren't expecting that to be to outpace the gdp target, but actually it has. so they've announced a defense spending budget increase of 7.2 percent and leak. a child also made a point in his speech and his working report speech that the p low tide is peoples of ration army is going to also focus a military preparedness. so that shows us that china is not only aware of the challenges when it comes to the economy. but also there are very much,

some geopolitical conditions that china is very much aware of and intentions that it is responding to. this includes around taiwanda, self food island, which is allied with the united states and beijing claims as its own, not leak tongues that the china is going to continue to push for peaceful reunification with taiwan. but also she just thing has said time and time again that china has not ruled out the use of force when it comes to claiming taiwan. and that's not the only issue that china is military has to really look, look q and watch. well, we also have the south china sea, which is area large the claim 5 aging, but it is disputed territory claimed by number of countries and yet we see trying to continue its military activities and military build up in that region. okay, thank you for the update. katrina you that for us in beijing, the head of the united nations nuclear watchdog has announced more inspections at

for the white house in 2024, he is the man to beat for the republican presidential nomination. and in the halls of the conference, many delegates admitted they won't be swayed by other interesting options. why think there's one guy that, you know, can get things done we, he's proven it and i think we need it back in august. and i think the people, you know, see that if this is any representation of what people are thinking, he's going to have a very nice time and 2024. you think you're quite easily win. the nomination definitely won the nomination as long as the field stays big, the smaller the field goes, i think it will be harder for him to win. but if he's one of 10, or one with 35 percent of the vote from the, from the primaries that go into the general election from the former president, it was a familiar message. america is feeling, he alone can fix it. there's only one president in history or is ever taken on the entire corrupt establishment in washington. and when we went in 2024, we will do it again. even stronger, faster, and better because he's promised to bill 10. you frontier cities offer

not one of these enormous cargo trains 212 carriages. but as you say, there are no injuries reported, and that way, scrutinizing a little bit more. what norfolk southern said, they said i would never have just materials involved in the derailments involved in the derailment. we don't quite sure what that means. so does that mean that they were, has this materials somewhere on the train, but those were the ones that were, that were derailed? why, why is that the shelter in place order, for example, in placement for, for the residents in the immediate vicinity. we've had an almost official interest and this isn't something that we usually see to the governor of our hire. just the last. 1 our as confirmed, he's been in contact with federal officials, including president biden transform. traces consultation secretary, but a judge off the door eldon's. but that a host of local state agencies, the ohio environmental protection agency, the emergency management agency, the higher state state highway patrol are all on the scene. but the governor also says that he believes he believes. now, how does this materials are involved?
