this is the news our live from doha. coming up in the next 60 minutes. hundreds of lebanese protesters trying to storm government headquarters angry at a worsening economy that shattered their lives. i am here to say to you handled haunt that i did not lie to the house for me. okay, leader bars johnson faces a grilling by a committee of m. p. 's off the accusations he deliberately misled parliament about policies during lockdown. alarm argue and report pates of grim picture of a global crisis. 2000000000 people have no access to safe drinking water and climate change could make it worse. widespread sexual abuse, am eastern democratic republic of congo as conflict. wesson's the violence in sport matter between 2 generational tenants decided the outcome of the well baseball classic char, your tiny getting the better of american my and won the title for that time.

ah, so we begin in lebanon where a devastating financial crisis was pushed hundreds of people back on to the streets in protest against that government. this was the scene in the capital bay route. earlier on wednesday here protesters mainly retired soldiers were trying to break through a fence leading to government headquarters, security forces 5 tear gas. people are angry about the plummeting value of the pensions. and this is the state of the lebanese currency. one us dollar is now worth roughly $140.00 lebanese lira. it's lost 98 percent of its value against the dollar since 2019, most people get paid in the local currency and so have seen the value of their salaries and savings crush. our correspondent then

a hodder was at the protest in beirut year for of an economic collapse. the currency is now worthless. the devaluation started in late 2019, but in recent weeks there was a sharp evaluation. the central bank intervenes now and again to try to regulate the market by pumping millions of dollars. but many experts will say this is not solving the crisis. the li, ross value recovery little and then it depreciates yet again. and what the central bank is using is a dwindling foreign currency reserves. money that belongs to the depositors who have been locked out of their accounts in banks. there is anger. people believe that the political and business leads. if you can see many here are public public sector servants. they believe that the political and business of the they do not want to solve the crisis. because solving the crisis will involve economic forms,

structural reforms, fighting corruption, if the business and political elite do that, then they lose control over the states and its resources which they have been exploiting for years now. many believe the solution is with an i m f deal, but like i said, those in power are refusing to carry out the reforms necessary for that deal to be made. so the economy continues to collapse. 4 years into this crisis. the politicians are, have done nothing to come up with their economic recovery plan. and in the interim, there's also political crisis. the country does not have a president or a government, a functioning government in order to carry out those reforms. so an economic and political crisis and no and insights has bring in patrick montana. he's the director of the lebanese institute for market studies and joins us now live from beirut. good to have you with us. first of all, why is lebanon's lira continuing on? this slide there is a reason why i have

a courtesy reach and the main reason is no mess printing on that is being comp to the system at the beginning of the crisis, we have 4 trillion nation today. we are at around 70 treated that semester. the quantity of the money supply having to use by you like 19 follows or when or which is the main reason off the current sion. i think to that problem incontinence gone the other central bank anymore. we don't know what will happen or when the governor or the central bank is to the mandate. what will happen next? don't have clarity about that. so lack of clarity. and the lack of last in the whole banking system 11 on because as euro said the banks default on the payment off on the reimbursement or because it has money. so the lack of trust must massive printing money. explain the currency, the valuation, and the,

and massive loss of trust as well in the, or far as he is. why hasn't politicians as dana, we're saying not come up with any sort of recovery plan. what politicians are kind of taking advantage of the currency. the venetian because they are using it to finance government expenditure business as usual. instead of doing the harvey of cutting down expenditure and increasing government income, they prefer to rely on freshly printed money from. ready central bank, so this open line of credit allows them to continue with spending and financing their spending from inflation. so, and the valuation which is the equivalent of the massive back. i mean, if, if we look at an employee, a lebanon, we used to make 30000000 lubin sponsor for the prices. it used to be the equivalent

of, of 2000 bonds. now the same media is the equivalent of less than 2 bonds. so people last more than 99 percent of their value is equivalent to 99 percent taxed on the population and politicians on each biggest possibility. they can see all the vision. it's not arms. and when you talk about this loss and the value of people savings and the re, the rising cost of food and fuel, that the loss of liquidity and banks. this is the problem it's been going on. as in a said again for 4 years, how people actually managing to cope well, i mean a never, they increased by almost 50 percent. now we have more than 80 percent population under under the poverty level. no, you have, we have a t within the families in lever on x facts living abroad, sending money to their parents, to their families in lebanon,

and they use fresh this is what is maintaining a lot. that doesn't mean that you don't have over the, as i said, increase massively income or in all of the, i mean is massively, it has been used by this family support system. plus we have some sectors who are able to be productive. i think specifically about tourism, people who can work in businesses that can export and maintain that income you as a dollar not to live and those people can survive, the prices are going to lose where their income and the, i mean, that is poised to give a $3000000000.00 bailout can, if, if the lebanese government and accessing reforms which is not showing willingness to do what are those reforms that it needs to make. so those b i m f sent a list re conditions and one of those conditions,

i think the hardest one from the events government and bottom to admit is to announce a plan for the distribution license. how will they deal with the positive money that have been lost? the banking system, that's what we were frequently lebron her. so the i m f wants of the government and the parliament to route on a plan before any or any bill or any, any help. and he finally agreement can, can see, in addition to other laws, really related to banking secrecy related to the audit of the largest bank or that in the central bank or in a foreign reserve currency. it is. so those are the list of conditions. but i don't believe that there is a really well melbourne on those conditions because i do think that many people are currently taking advantage of the remaining for these are the central banks still

have and $1000000000.00 foreign exchange and those amount have been are melting down 2 years ago to see $30000000000.00 and some people are taking advantage of this month. there was subsidies of through some kind of kind of or just never had those people who have an interest in getting damaged and, and having more transparency on how they are still noting the positives money and say the ordinary people keep suffering. patrick martini, thanks very much. for joining us there with your expertise thank you. and while in the u. k. price his own food and now at more than a 45 year high as 90 driven by a shortage of vegetables. overall inflation rate increased unexpectedly in february after 3 months. because of high feed and energy bills, and this could prompt the bank of england to raise interest rates on 1st name. as chris lie to our correspondent nadine barber, he's standing by for it in london at him to what extent as this jump in inflation

court expense by surprise. to large extent, i think as you mentioned, there had been several months of a drop in double digit inflation. so it's of year to january. it was still 10 point one percent. now it's gone up to 10.4 percent of the year to february presenting a dilemma for the bank of england here in the city of london, which meets on thursday to decide what to do with interest rates. they've actually increased them 10 times since december fighting inflation. it was thought they might hold them steady because of the banking uncertainties in the last couple of weeks now. not so sure what's driving this inflation well, largely 3 things. firstly, hospitality mainly arise in the price of alcohol hitting her hotels and restaurants bed best food and non alcoholic drinks. the overall figure you gave 18 percentage shocking, but some food stops. like, for example, olive oil up 40 percent of the year exit milk up around

a 3rd in the year to february, really worrying for a lot of households. and then arise in the cost of her clothing and footwear, particularly bose for children. so that's the why, but the what will the bank of england do is hard to guess right now. absolutely. and what does this make as mean for families who already suffering from the rising cost of living and what's the government doing about it? if i got your question, you're asking about how is, is going to hit people will clearly the lowest income households spends a bigger proportion of their income on the essentials like food. and given what i've just said about the price of eggs and milk, for example, it's those households that really have the most to worry about now via increasing the price of energy fuel bills that we've seen over the last year that has really clobbered a lot of people both those rise is due to slow down,

but still the chancellor of the exchequer. that's britton's finance. when it's a jeremy hunt admitted on wednesday, the, the double digit inflation is a dangerous place to be. he's insisting the government will stick to its protestant harv, inflation by the end of the year and their own experts previous he said it should dropped to 3 percent by the end of this year. but politically, that is hugely damaging. now the opposition labor party say that the inflation figures shows nothing is better under the conservatives than when they came to power. 13 years ago and the head of the trades union congress had said, families are still under massive pressure from the rising cost of living. and he's hinted that the government in last week's budget did very little to support the lowest or owners because they were, for example, tax provisions which benefited the richer families, the richer households in the u. k. this is clearly a big challenge for the government, not just economically, but politically to show what they are doing to protect the people on the lowest

wages and the lowest. her incomes in britain right now. and i think her, even amongst his own a conservative party. now richie sudak may in the coming months with an election expected in 2024. be pushed to go further. and con nadine barber genius there from london. thanks. rationing and in the coming hours, all eyes will be on the u. s. federal reserve, which will set aside if it's raising its interest rates, and by how much it uses it as a tool to cool inflation, which piqued last year, but it's still stubbornly high. the cost of living a sword and millions of americans are struggling. the federal reserve has been increasing interest rates, so people stop saving more and buying less. that's one of the ways banks around the world try to curb inflation. the recent failure of u. s. banks has put pressure on the fed to stop increasing rates and risk further spooking the markets. and this is raising fairs of a repeat of the 2008 global financial crisis. more people now

a searching the term financial crisis online or francis coppola as an economist on banking commentators, she joins us live from rochester in the u. k. so expecting to hear from the federal reserve chairman and we are coming hours wants to think he's going to announce i personally think he will announce a small role as an interest rates. really just to show that, you know, the fact can't be blown off course. and it's controlled you lation by worries in your back. he sector, they have all the tools to deal with, with wobbly banks and some of the things that have been put in place since 2000, nate should make it possible for the fed to do what's necessary to control inflation without triggering or banking crisis. then obviously the situation with us is mid sized banks is worrying because i know that they are considering meshes to get they put being put in place measures to do with that. okay,

i'll ask about the measures just a moment is 1st. first i want to ask about the impact of raising these interest rates. again, what is likely to happen if they do? hello mostly. when you raise the post you rates, you're making borrowing more expensive for people. so that's going to hit people who are looking for new mortgages. it's going to hit people who are looking for bank loans for various, all the forms, the debt, it will affect credit costs on the post decide it should also increase the rate of interest on savings. but it's sad to say banks because you not own all know that well. but in united states, people have money market on just no chance you've been. we have been changing rates on those going out. so one thing that might have missed we might she more deposit light from bags to money market funds and that will be concerning the fat. absolutely. i mentioned earlier tools to deal with as you said wobbly bang. so the key here, the big fear is it's

a void contagion of run on more banks. what is in the federal reserve back pocket to stop by happening? well, at mon, federal reserve has put in place a funding facility that actually means that banks that are suffering deposits like kind of tang funding to enable them to meet our obligations to enable people to withdraw their deposits without having to take losses on the government debt securities that they have been holding to back their deposits, i've been falling in value because of interest rate rises. and that's quite an important funding facility. and the other thing is being discussed and hasn't been decided yet. would be a way of calming down positive flights and that would be to lift c s f t c. i see insurance limit on a deposit so that people don't worry don't if they needed to put it in a bank, they will lose that money. but there is still the attraction of higher interest

rates elsewhere. there's other things that the federal reserve is going to talk about future monetary policy for cost for unemployment inflation. how is the u. s. looking at the moment? is it looking better than expected overall? well, interestingly, i mean the only indicators are that inflation is starting to come down and said job figures have been surprisingly good. so in a way it does looking quite good shape and you may be that the fed will decide it doesn't need to do that much more because we should remember that the fed takes the medium term view and inflation. we see the immediate prints and we see, you know, inflation high and, and so forth. and we think my goodness of that was do something the 1st taking of you over a couple of years. and it's seeing the path of inflation coming down over time. it may decide that even though it's still high now it's coming down fast enough for it

not to have to do anymore. so it's still possible that that might be slides do nothing. you do. okay. francis coppola great to speak to you. thanks for helping us understand what's going on in the markets in the us. now there's plenty more still a had here on this is our, including the french president defending as controversial pension overhaul as labor unions threatened to hold more demonstrations and ins, balls another deadline day in the contest to buy one of the world's most famous football clubs. ah, vers premier support johnson has begun to testify in front of a parliamentary standards committee as part of an investigation into whether he misled parliament on holding parties, join cove at 19 locked downs. he's told the committee the events were wrong, but as insisted he did not lie to m p's. if he's found to have lied, he could face suspension or even lose his seat in parliament. at all times,

i was entirely transparent with the house. i made it clear that i did not intend to comment on any of the factual matters until the investigation had been concluded. i kept the house regularly updated and as soon as the investigations were complete, i provided a full correction of my honest but inadvertently misleading statements. i apologize, i apologize for inadvertently misleading this house, but to say that i did it recklessly or deliberately is completely untruth. kellit cross to london inspector correspondent, china how his outside, westminster. jenna is gimme a marathon session. it started just a little over an hour ago. phyllis in on what's been happening. well, you hear it referred to as boris johnson's last stand. this colossal figure in british politics known, of course, of course, across the world will be fighting essentially for his political career in the house

of commons in a committee room behind me there. as he tries to convince this cross party committee of n p 7 of them, that is, you heard him outline there. he may have misled parliament inadvertently, but he didn't do it deliberately or recklessly when he told m p's in december 2021 . that no rules and no guidance had been broken in respect to those locked down parties in downing street. he will be relying essentially on a plank of defense that says, i made those statements in good faith, even though they subsequently were proven to be wrong. i believed them right at the time because of repeated reassurance from senior aides. that no rules and guidance had been broken. these were the workplace parties, he believed taking place in the workplace and therefore exempt under the rules and the guidance the committee will fall back on a position that essentially bars johnson should have known better. it should have

been obvious, they will say to the prime minister at the time who wrote the rules, who repeatedly broadcast them to the nation that what was going on was wrong and worryingly for boris johnson. one bit of evidence that came out on wednesday morning made public before this hearing only on wednesday quotes cabinet secretary at the time simon case, the most senior civil servant in downing street who says he didn't give any reassurance about any events. and he's unaware of anyone else who did. i'm trying to how to the survivors of cove in 1900 feel about this testimony, is that watching it unfold on national television? you can be sure that very many of them will be watching this. it is a grand televised spectacle, of course, they will wait, they know years potentially for the findings of an independent inquiry to get any real sense of accountability over what they perceive to have gone wrong in the government's response. so for them, what is happening to the prime minister at the time now in parliament?

is at least a possibility of some sort of indication. listen to what amanda henry had to say. i spoke to her yesterday. she lost her father, robert in a care home. care homes at the time, of course were depleted of tests and personal protective equipment. and very many of their residents succumbed. we trusted the government to protect all of us, especially the most vulnerable in our society. and if they just didn't do it, don't think he should have a korea in the government. he shouldn't be an em pay. and after what he's done, it upsets me that he's not being held accountable. well, as i say, mannered others may be vindicated, at least partially vindicated. in that view, nothing less than johnson's political future at stake. if he is sanctioned by the

committee for contempt to the house of commons, he could be suspended if that suspension is more than 10 sitting days. that triggers a petition in his own west london uxbridge constituency, in which just 10 percent of his constituents would be required to boot him out of that seat. and that is a vote that is quite possibly would not go far as johnson's way. i can turn to many thanks for the update journal against that in fort life from london. first, president, manuel mac rollins as controversial changes to pension rules will be implemented by the end of the year. is governments plan to raise the age of retirement from 62 to 64 as lead to weeks of demonstrations across france. and 9th round of strikes and national protests well take place on thursday. i called the government for through the amendment to the national assembly without a vote or movable. as i speak to you right now, do you think i enjoyed doing this reform? no. i could have done the same as many others before me and swept the dust under the rug. maybe the reality is today. there's one thing i regret is that we weren't

able to inform people of the constraints. and more specifically, the need to undergo this reform. so she did the facetime home. it was the always possibility musson from so i say this in all responsibility. i'm not wishing to get reelected. i cannot be as indicated by the constitution between the short term poles and the general interest of the country. i choose the general interest, and if in the end i have to endure unpopularity to day, i will endure it. on. tasha butler joins us now live from paris. natasha macklin comments that he gave in this interview likely to calm the streets. well i think the unlikely to calm the streets probably do just the opposite and fuel people's anger and frustration. i mean watching emmanuel mac or your hard press to imagine that this was a french present in the middle of a political and social crisis. he was very, a business like he was on repentance about his french government pushing through

his reform a bill of pension reform bill by decree, involvement, look, he has the right to do so. and he pointed that out. he said, this reform is necessary for the french, a system for people in the future to have a pension. because at the moment the system is simply broken. he also said, look, he has every right to push the reform through parliament. by decree, it is part of the constitution. however, he gave no concessions, there only branches to some of his opponents from his critics, both in parliament and on the streets. i think that's why we will see protest continue. trade unions have certainly said that they intend to keep protesting over the coming days of big protest already planned on thursday nationwide strike. also, we are expecting workers from across mainly the public sector to be out in the streets as a lot of anger. there's a, there's great sense in france that amongst many people that the french government, the french present simply just doesn't understand them. okay,

that about la turnover live from paris. thanks alicia. oh and cave ukrainian officials say at least 7 people have been killed and russian drone strikes on the region. notary sources say a civilian object was damaged in the attack. caves forces say they shot down 16 of 21. iranian made drones launched over night by russia and inquire, may russian officials say the navy has repelled a drain attack on the savannah of whole port. this comes 2 days off an explosion on the pets and destroyed russian missiles. as according to ukraine's defense ministry, they were intended for use by moscow black c fleet, and moscow, russia defense minutes, a sec. i shall go, says a division with long range ante ship missiles has been deployed to the north pacific. the area of southern curl islands is disputed between japan and russia. this comes just a day off japan's prime minister visited cave and offered crane his support. for me, i conceded, visit coincide with tiny president,

she didn't pings visit to russia. he was in moscow 2 days of talk with president putin focusing on trade and energy. they also discuss china's piece plan to resolve ukraine conflicts. the 2 liters released a joint statement on tuesday, calling for responsible dialogue to end the war. let's bring in john this to you earlier. shop o val over from moscow, and any of the visits between she, jim, ping and print some fusions further. ties between paging and moscow. but it's not hastened the end of the crane war hazard. the thrives. so actually many vitally important issues were addressed during the meetings, the ukrainian conflicts of course, but not just that economy, trade, energy to name a few person praise beijing proposals for a peaceful settlement or the crisis and ukraine. he said the plan can be taken as a basis for further agreements. as we know, the leaders agreed on a plan for the development of key areas of russian chinese economic cooperation

until 2030. what is also important, according to mister pearson, russia is ready to switch to the you want and trade with other countries, not just between russia and china, you on payments will be in place for russia and asian african unlocked the american countries in the near future. according to pay in russia will increase speed supplies to the chinese market that will be export to meet grain and other agricultural projects. and regarding energy rush remains a strategic supply of oil, natural gas, coal, and electricity to china. the leaders discuss the construction of the power of siberia to gas pipeline, which will pass from a girl. yeah. so surely plethora of issues that will be, that will have actually massive future impacts. and audrey, people have also heard that if the agreements will buy fruit and will be able to mitigate negative effects of the functions, the russian economy will probably grow until a little bit better. and if we look at rushes,

military maneuvers in the north pacific to what extent they seem to be in response to japan showing support for ukraine. writer we just heard from minister, shy, grew. he spoke about the 10s situation within the borders of rushes, east and military district, caused by us actions. according to the minister, the americans are creating a new security architecture in the, in the region to contain russia and china. mrs. showing group announced that. 6 a continuous above water control zone has been established along the career ridge, which is in the pacific in the, in, in rushes far really not far away from japan. so the bus 2 on battleship division has been on g to that since december 2022. the defense minister also noted that the comb, but capabilities of the eastern military district have significantly increased thanks to the new weapons they recently received. so the russia made it also reported that

she gave orders of courage to pilots who prevented an american drone from violating the borders of the special operation area over the black sea. and just to remind you, last week the american reaper drone was down as a result of the encounter with 2 russia to 27. find the jets so early today, mr. show you 2 minutes to show you gave them that was ok. mueller shop to live a thank you very much for joining us. still, a has hair on al jazeera was born and the round the world races heading for the glazed, most remote spot. andy's head with that story. ah, well i, we got some pretty wet weather across western parts of the amazon app. ma'am,

you can see the circulation which is set up on usually wet weather. ashley daniel, be see a circulation viscado size across this part of the world, actually western parts of bolivia, east and there's a peru like to see some flooding as we go on through the next few days. the usual showers there into much of brazil. he shouts and to the far north of argentina as well as we go through the next day or so. so a few showers, making the way into the cabin. i think all parts could see one or 2 showers over the next few days, sir. i hope he not too heavy more in the west sunshine than showers, but some lady shows their over towards the lee with some of the more persistent. right, i suspect to sliding his way across a cuba pushing towards jamaica, easing down towards the central america, particularly around guatemala and on into believe north is that? well, we're still very concerned about some wet ad at times when she weather, making its way in across a california notice where it's not as windy. we have had damaging winds recently, making the way into california, but it's still there. we are going to see further showers,

longest spells of right and some snow i which will central part of the rain does gather as we go on through thursday. but still very mild in dacy with a high of 24. ah. in a post colonial whoop. the scars of european imperialism run deep. nowhere more so than in the democratic republic of congo, where a history still shapes the presence of visceral yet infamous insight. through the eyes of a whistleblower and the patriotic military commander witnessed presents. this is congo, honor jesse ego. ah, in

a song newly ah ah ah. hello again. what's the gallons? is there a has reminder? what top stories this allen? police of fod tear gas that people protesting in bay route against lebanon's ongoing economic crisis. inflation has been skyrocketing since 2019 making a central daily items increasingly unaffordable. forbush prime as the bars johnson

testify, a bunch of a parliamentary stand as committee as part of an investigation into whether he misled parliament on holding policies, join coven, 19 locked downs. he saw the committee, the events were wrong, but as insisted he did not lie a m p. 's there's an imminent risk of a global water crisis. that's the warning from the un, which is hosting its 1st conference on water and sanitation in 45 years. it says more than $2000000000.00 people don't have enough water for at least one month, a year. 26 percent of the walls population doesn't have safe drinking water. and nearly half of them don't have adequate sanitation. the u. n says was shortages will get worse in the coming decades, especially in cities. unless there's better international cooperation. we'll have coverage of the water crisis from around the world at the u. n. where leaders are meeting from columbia, where local the coping with severe water shortages and from venezuela where access

to clean water has been limited for decades as begin in new york without the mask editor james bay's. this is the 1st conference of its type for more than 40 years, some presidents, prime ministers, as well as many ministers who all around the world have gathered here in new york. they know the problem is very serious. the estimates suggest that water demanded urban areas around the world is likely to increase what 80 percent? by the year 2050. i've been speaking to the foreign minister of bangladesh about the challenges his country faces regarding water. this is really important for back with this because we are the, the well in countries we will 857 rivers criss crossing the country. in addition, when the peep of the bell been all and the emotion into specifically gym water is our life everyday life and they're poor and l blade to the had been lottery abuse,

we'll watch it and waters so the ocean, so great reserved for the car when emissions the global warming. and nowadays, since we are abusing plata, in either chemical plastic as it is on the global warming, is these absorber is not absorbing as much as this. and we want to say this planet act. and one way to save this planet of, besides and dist accuracy in this is also to upkeep the waters. and therefore this conference is really very important to buy my dish. in addition, we also have many diverse which comes from other countries, $57.00, the rest comes from other countries and we have to develop it for graham policy. said that all the people of that in the but i and, and cashman should be benefit. so what needs to come out of this conference to make

it a 6? i think we need to look forward to universal code of conduct in utilizing the what are the sources maintaining the water and sir, but he must protect and preserve the water, the cross, the nations. it tells us the good news that so many countries are talking about water and talking about cooperating on its use privately. though diplomats will tell you that all the commitments that come out of this week's conference will be voluntary and there will be no final binding agreement. james bays al jazeera at the united nations. in the last 2 decades, access to water has been declining because of climate change and population growth out there. i heard from one woman living in a poor neighbourhood in bogota in columbia, where supplies asked guess his, her story in her own words mean on. but i had you on our lindsay. i think my name is joanna valencia. i am 28 years old. i live in the d. v non in your neighborhood, in the south of voter. they are gone,

mister se was at what i arrived with. my 3 kids 4 years ago, displeased by the violence in the chuckle region, many us as while while with it but as a law and since the 1st day we never had access to water for our household course. personal hygiene, cleaning, it's very complicated. ok, i know that parts of the neighborhood receive water late at night at times every 3 or 4 days. i depend on the good heart of neighbors that share some of their water with me. what are they on okay, in law? live where i don't, i don't believe they are what. what in the rally? i love base and work. he is a security guard. there are days that i don't bring any food at work because i have no water to cook. it really does it that and i work tomorrow, but my uniform is dirty because i haven't been able to wash it now and with it all the same with my kids school uniform, their shoes. i have lourdes of dirty dishes because i haven't been able to wash them either. them again. i know. yeah, i hope to be able to buy a big tank or find an organization that could help us get
