our beer, but i think most past will see some wet weather, a line of cloud here, sinking further southwards across cuba, jamaica catching a shower too much a for central america. we'll see some of that wet to whether the showers will slide across the eastern airlines too. i suspect for barbados, grenada, pushing down towards trinidad and tobago, should stay largely dry as we go on through the next couple of days more in the way of sunshine. it's warm sunshine for the southeast of the us. we got more wet weather coming in across the plains, up towards the northeast, snow to the north of that and still a chance of water to flow flowers for that western side of the us. ah, ah, ah.

and armand is the problem, and this is the new sal live from doha, coming up in the next 60 minutes, raising the rates, the bank of england bomb thought this benchmark interest rate for the 11th time in a row b, p. o, p as prime minister appoints a former senior to grey official to head off the northern regions, new interim government. 8 more cases of the mob, the virus reporters and equitorial guinea. after 5 people died from the disease, intense mia and mt classrooms and have gone far the 1st week of school for some students who girls left house and it's full christian are all set to break. another world's record in the coming hours. the portuguese, still a balance to become the most kept ment, international player of all time. ah . will begin in the u. k with a bank of england has bumped off. that's benchmark interest rate by

a quarter percentage points that brought the rate to 4.25 percent, while the inflation target is 2 percent. this is the 11th consecutive re tries. and just a day after the announcement that inflation has also gone up, the u. k. is february inflation rate has 10.4 percent drawn by high food and energy builds. let's bringing correspondent, full bread, and he's joining us live from london. so the rate increased as expected pul, following that surprising rise and inflation? yes, that's right. the inflation that was announced on wednesday from 10 point one percent going up unexpectedly to 10.4 percent. the false in the hands of the members of the monetary policy committee of the bank of england when they made that decision this morning. i have to say there are some chinks of hope in the predictions that the bank of england are putting forward saying for example, well, 1st of all,

it was not a unanimous decision. it was $7.00 to $2.00 in favor of increasing the interest rates from 4 percent to 4.2 to 5 percent. the other 2 members of the monetary policy committee actually would prefer to keep interest rates where they were. so there are signs of, of a weakening results from the n p c. there. the other thing is that the giving the no longer predicting that the u. k. economy will go into recession. there is an expectation that the economy will grow in inverted commas slightly over the next year. so a little glimmer of hope that the other thing though, is that they also expect energy prices or the energy price contribution to inflation to turn negative during the course of this year. we of course, have the ukraine war, which bums up the price of energy, mainly rushing gas because of the shortage of bath that is expected to come out of the inflationary pressure over the next year. those pressures easing, as people find all alternatives. that said, it is

a certain increase that all concerns that the banks, central banks around the world continue to try to put the brakes on, on inflation that it might spill over into a water recessionary pressure on the economy. so it's a very delicate balancing act that the central banks are having to try and stress, and it's an increase. while so many people in the u. k. of living through a very real cost of living crisis, it is. and i mean, the other thing that is, that people criticize the bank of england for it is that it's pulling at these lever as these economic leave as these fiscal leaves that are, that monetary leave is that it has when actually, you know, there's a question mark as to whether these leave is actually effect in inflation at all in a generally rising at raising interest rates reduces demand. the reality is though, that large parts of the inflationary pressure are not as

a result of big demand. it's as a result of less supply. lesson shortage of energy, for example, shortages of food have been pumping prices as opposed to people feeling comfortable about the income and wanted to go out and spend more. so there's a question mark about that. the other thing is as good as the practical impact, you know, when interest rates rise, that means boring for ordinary people is more expensive. we bought a 3rd. busy of households in the u. k. ah mortgages to buy their properties. an estimated trend on $65000.00 of them are all that estimates to be in trouble as a result of the way the interest rates rise have risen in recent months and have increased that borrowing costs. busy you've also got things like tall loans. you've also got business loans and businesses who are having to borrow in order to keep their businesses afloat. now finding that those borrowing costs are significantly more expensive than they were. so it's putting a lot of pressure on, on food inflation, of course, 18 percent higher. so you can see that although headline inflation 10.4 percent,

the cost of the price rises of food are going up even faster. 18 percent says a lot of pressure for ordinary people that are, that are sort of indicators in these figures. absolutely poor. thank you very much for that. that is poor. been in with an ace is live in london. and this was, the national bank has also increased its interest rate by half a point. switzerland's key rate now stands at 1.5 percent. the bank signals more highly were possible. the move comes on the heels of turmoil and this was banking system. the state broke a deal for banking giant u b. s to buy its troubled rival credit suisse on sunday. the rate hikes in europe follow wednesdays announcement by the u. s. federal reserve that the american benchmark rate has risen to 5 percent. that is the highest since 2007. i do jo cost reports from washington, d. c. the u. s. central banks decision to raise the federal interest rate by

a quarter percentage point was the result of being stuck between conflicting forces . don't raise the rate enough and consumer prices may continue to sort raise it too high and war banks may fail. history has shown that isolated banking problems, if left unaddressed, can undermine confidence in healthy banks and threatening the ability of the banking system as a whole. the banking turmoil hits suddenly 2 weeks ago when 2 midsize banks failed, people lined up to demand their money. money that was no longer there after silicon valley bank sold its government bonds at a loss due to high interest rates. as phoebe's practices had caught the attention of banking regulators in 2022, but the fed fail to prevent the crisis german jerome, pow so the blame lies with the bank. now under investigation in a basic level, silicon valley bank management failed badly. they grew the bank very quickly, they expose the bank to significant liquidity, risk and interest rate, risk,

and emergency intervention by regulators, and the us treasury department has stabilize the banking sector for now. treasury secretary janet yellen told a senate committee on wednesday that regulatory reforms may be required. this was a very unusual set of circumstances. the silicon valley bank faced. it appears that they had seen significant interest rate risk that they were subject to and exceptionally high over 90 percent of their deposits were uninsured. the big day, a financial news made for volatile trading on wall street with the dow and s and p closing down more than one and a half percent. investors fear, even the modest interest rate hike will increase pressure on banks. just how much higher will the federal interest rate go? well, the federal reserve is signaling that it's approaching the end of its aggressive

campaign to raise interest rates in order to lower inflation. perhaps one more interest rate hike is expected before the end of this year, and then if the patient indeed continues to descend downward as expected, then come 2024 interest rate cuts could be expected. heidi jo, castro, al jazeera washington non, while the news mound ethiopian government has appointed a senior official and the to glad people's liberation from to the head of a new interim to grow regional government get a short run. does appointment comes just a day after the t. p. s. was removed from a list of terrorist organizations establishing a temporary government was a crucial part of the peace deal signed last year that ended fighting between to grind rebels and government troops. the conflict has killed tens of thousands of people and 4th, millions out of their homes. that piece d in between the ethiopian government and the t p l f was signed and november last

year ended 2 years of war. the fighting started november 2020 prime minister avia was ordered, a military offense against t p l. s. and the phones to what it says, attacks on the basis the government declared a truce and march last year to allow humanitarian aid and to cry. the un had repeatedly called for an end to the violence, accusing both sides of committing war crimes. but after 5 months of relative calm fighting started again in august, piece is finally reached in november by then more than 2600000 people have been displaced and years of drought had left millions without enough to eat. get a chill rather spoke with al jazeera, shortly after his appointment was confirmed. he says he certain that t p l. a forces will support efforts to sustain peace, outright trigger happy people who were in the world simply for the fighting or for the shooting. there was there to address political grievances that we felt as the

people we had to rewrite to, to, to, to fight for. and we also believe that peace is the best given at this point in time. and as long as that can cause that address in a manner, and we have reason to believe that of course, this can be address it in a, in a political dialogue. and then there is no reason why we should continue fighting it because we were not there. we were not in the fighting for the, for the sake of fighting, were there because we had versus, we had to call us and we have reason to believe that our causes could be addressed in a peaceful manner. and i don't have the slightest doubt that fighters will be fully behind out if it's to, to, to, to, to sustain this and to get, to get back on track and to rebuild it from ground up. another 8 cases of marble

wires have been confirmed by the world health organization and equitorial guinea that brings a total number of cases of the country to $0.09. an outbreak was 1st declared in february, at least 5 people have died of the disease and tens of nea. the cases were confirmed and new regions of the country and indicating a wider outbreak. there were no vaccines or anti virus treatments approved to treat the severe vial fever and that fueling fears it could spread further in the region . with alarm sounded in cameroon, and kenya the marble virus disease or m v d is a red hemorrhage ec fever. it affects both people and non human primate. it's in the same virus family as a bowler, ma book has an average fatality rate of 50 percent, which varies in different strains. and the was outbreak and gola and 2005. the fatality rate was 88 percent. it kills more than 300 people because bonded katherine for joining us live from nairobi. so what more are you hearing about the

spread the virus, the efforts to contain it inequitable will guinea and tens, and the katherine well, let's start from tanzania where we have been speaking to a health officials who say that they have deployed teams to this part of the country in the northwest or where in all 5 people so far have died including a health worker. and what is happening now are on the ground. is that a 120 a 161? people have been isolated. they are being monetary that have been more to more are being monitored and of b are basically are the ones who got in contact or with the affected people. and what else is happening are when it comes to health workers as that they are going and undertaking this a health campaign, talking at communities there about the symptoms and what to look out for. and also

to make sure to go to the hospital as soon as see they see this symptoms now on the other end of the continent in west africa, that is equitorial guinea are 800 people or 8 people are conformed to have this disease are health workers there and the w h all are saying that they're trying to contain the situation and to make sure that the disease does not spread any farther. and what a neighboring countries doing to contain the spread. catherine weather one is very console and now coming back to east africa, we have been talking to health officials, not just in kenya, but other neighboring countries as well. you gander as well. so they are saying that they have put in place these measures. the cleaning is going on in some

parts. this is not a disease that is new to the other 2. i mean into some countries a here in east africa. so they have put these measures to make sure that you know, that disease is contained within this country. it is a very dangerous disease. everybody knows that. so they are trying to make sure that it doesn't spread. catherine, thank you very much for that. that is, catherine saw over the latest live in nairobi, repenting more head on the news hour, including undeterred french, protested block roads after president macro by his pension amendments. opposed for com. more protests and israel of parliament. also the 1st law of changing the judiciary and given more power to the state of the board, meeting the 2 former grand slam champions with a miami arson. and he's here with that story.

ah, most schools and of gone stone have reopened after the winter break, but thought bon authorities are still boring. teenage girls from attending since the fall bonds take the in 2021. when the girls, aged 12 and under have been allowed to go to school, the taliban government has also banned women from higher education. the united nations cause that gender based upon tape. the only option now available to older girls as islamic schools, known as mcgraw says they provide religious instruction that assessment of physical mark. i don't know if some of them address a can't help me in becoming a doctor because that's done through the schools. and unfortunately schools are closed, but still them address, it is good for increasing our religious knowledge and it's a good place to enhance our skills. so i want to get all the time diane, nice,

i imagine maybe some day schools mark reopened and my education will progress further and i'll be more knowledgeable. i will never lose hope, but if it isn't through school, then maybe through the addresses or online courses, because now there are a telephones and the internet. but let's take a closer look at the situation for africa, girls and women before the current restriction for introduced, the number of girls and primary schools increased from almost 0 in 2001. when the taliban was removed from power to 2 and a half 1000000 in 2018 by august 2021, 4 out of 10 students in primary education will girls and the number of african women and higher education increased almost 20 times from 5000 female students in 2001 to more than 80002021 literacy rates. a woman almost doubled and that decade were joining us from new york as uni, says executive director catherine russell. thank you very much for your time on the

story. what are you hearing from girls and young woman and i've got a son who aren't able to attend school. you know, i think it's absolutely crushing for them. i traveled there last year just about this time. and i heard from so many girls about how much they wanted to be in school. and also interestingly from their parents who very much wanted them to have that opportunity as well. i think they know that for girls to have a future, they need to be educated and having this taken away from them has been absolutely devastating. and this has, has been taken away from them. often they were, they weren't able to go to school because of club and 19 restriction. so i believe it's been 3 years that goes in afghanistan, teenage goals haven't been able to go to school. what kind of impact is this having on them? you know, it's a, it's a devastating impact. it's, it's really, it's many things. one, it takes away their opportunity to participate in their communities in a way where they can ultimately have jobs become doctors, teachers, you know,

and i've been to afghanistan the past. all the girls say that, you know, i'd ask the class of girls, what do you want to be when they grow up? they would say, i want to be a doctor. i want to be a lawyer. i want to be the president of the country and that has obviously been so compromised by this refusal to see that girls have a right to an education. so what happens to them is they end up staying home for the most part, often getting married early, which is devastating for them because it means that they start having children early that's bad for their children because their children are then less likely to be educated in immunized, so the consequences are rippling and they're really terrible for the girl for her family and for the countries as a whole. yeah, and it also has consequences for the economy, doesn't it? and even things like the health system, which we don't immediately think of, but addressing this issue. yes, absolutely. and the health system relies on women realized and women, nurses, doctors, social workers, those, those women need to be educated,

right. the girls need to be educated that they can take their place in prominent positions in their country. and i think that for me it's devastating. the practical impact is so devastating. but it's also so crushing to these girls who have dreams, who want to do things in their lives. they know there's a big world out there. they want to be a part of it. and they are begging the international community to continue to advocate for them to pay attention to them and to demand that they are able to achieve their rights. and as the taliban listening, i you haven't conversations with the thought about about changing their stand on this. you know, as i said, i, i traveled there last year and had multiple meetings and i would say that the taliban is not one monolithic organization. right. different people had different views. and i think there were certainly some people in the talbot who understood that the country would never ultimately prosper and do well if half the population isn't able to participate. so i think that that's clear. however,

the people who are in charge, who are making the decisions or making very negative decisions about girls riots about their opportunities and essentially saying that for now they cannot go to school. and i think i would argue to them that these girls are human beings. they have rights, they have a right to an education, never write to health care, and those rights need to be respected. miss russell, it's really great to have your time, your insights on the story. we do appreciate that as uni sets executive director, catherine russell, joining us from new york. thank you. thanks lisman to franz. now we're more protest underway against the government's plans to raise the retirement age. these are live pictures of protest is facing also police and then demonstrators have also blocked ramson roads outside of shop, the goal, a fortunately power space and passengers to get there on foot and other cities. union members have been blocking roads that all demanding that con,

drop the pension bill, something he refused to do in a public address on wednesday. that's bringing correspondent, natasha butler. she's joining us live from paris. so what's happening? where you on a tasha i'm sure you can see behind me there are thousands of people filling this where the central powers are going to be picky for the i think in front the front of the demonstration the has already there are people still coming in to this class from around there's been a lot of disruptions say it is not nationwide. so i can process the 9 to the beginning if that's affecting across the public sector transform. education helps to say golf, but you still finding out in paris a lot of anger over michael engine reform bill, which will raise the time and take but not funny that people are now angry as the method by which president micro government push this bill through parliament bypass

and make them peace, they for fit for fight, decrease people think dr. shows the person micro look not only does not care, i should say about people on the street and they're concerned, but he also doesn't care that from this situation. they say about no makers about opposition and critics that he cares about what he wants. and interestingly, he was saying that what he wants is progress for the country and his televised address and that he doesn't care about his popularity because he can't run for president again. just how vulnerable as he there is no doubt that prisoner, my call is under a motive pressure socially and politically look politically it was just a few days ago. but my calls of government just about survived and no confidence motion in parliament by just a few votes. because of the level of anger and opposition and criticism in the

parliament. now that's going to make it very difficult to go forward with other legislation in the future because they're all so many deficient in parliament. and so much animosities was the government and my son, michael, for some mark roll says that this reform is fundamentally in order to sustain the pension system for the future. as you said, he says, i don't care about my popularity. what's important is my duty to the country. he said various things in a television to interview. but that interview has really added fuel to the fire if you like, because he gave no concessions to any of his opponents. he said he wouldn't re shopping his capitan's, he wouldn't, for example, change his pi minister that is inflamed to attentions, the passions i even more to like. so it's, it's very interesting to see which way things are going to go to the government to michael. of course, he'd like these protests to fizzle out, but demonstrate to the saying that even though this bill is on its way to becoming a law, they don't care. they go to continue to go out in the streets because i want to put enough partial in the government so that it scraps its reform. natasha. thank you

very much for that. that is natasha butler. joining us with the very latest, from the protests of paris as well as parliament has passed the 1st of several laws that make up the government's controversial, judicial overhaul that's despised. nationwide, protest against the changes to the judicial system. the plan would limit the power of the supreme court. kotik say it threatens democracy. hundreds of demonstrators have been blocking roads in protests that's bringing our correspondent iran con. he is joining us live from at west of rosalyn. so tell us about this law and ran, that critic say is tailor made to protect prime minister netanyahu or a lot of people here are calling it netanyahu's law. basically the law allows or will disallows rather now the attorney general from declaring the prime minister unfit for office. why does this apply to benjamin netanyahu? well, he has at least 3 court cases going through their whining through the system at the

moment. so regardless of whatever the result of those court cases, he will continue to serve in office and that's say the protesters is undemocratic. it was one of the key things that the coalition government wanted to push forward. that's why this has been passed before other parts of the did you judicial reform? bill is a series of reforms is going to limit the supreme court's power. now, because this bill is past, we're likely to see more people out on the streets on saturday. there is also a protest i a cross is wrong, $95.00 different locations across his world is going on today. but the big protest there on saturday and it's likely to get more more people out on the street. but the government is passing these laws is holding firm and is holding firm because it does have a very slim majority in parliament. and that majority, that coalition is holding firm because this is what the coalition once it wants to, to restrict the supreme court. and it seems to be working. so some form of this

judicial reform bill will like he pass. will it pass before passover before easter mid april? we don't know that that's a key moment in time. so let's see what happens in the coming days. but absolutely, this is going to galvanized the purchase. maybe we'll get more more people out on the street and staying in the region, but looking at a different story and run it as the 1st day of the muslim holy month of ramadan. and israel has imposed restrictions are set rules rather on worship is entering the alex and mos compound in jerusalem. that's up to you, right? it's something that israel does every single or amazon it takes. i announce is a who can go and pray within the alex her most compound in the old city. what they're saying is, is your over the age of 55. yes, that's fine. you can go between 55 and 45. if you're male, you need to apply for permits, and if you're under 45,

you're simply not allowed to go you. so people won't be visiting from say, the occupied westbank, which they have been allowed to do in previous years. these restrictions are placed all the time and they get tougher and tougher as con ramadan goes on, it's just a fact of living under occupation. now. these railey police say that they have learnt or from clashes that took place when they placed restrictions in 2020. that those classes were almost every single night in damascus. gay in occupied east jerusalem. and they eventually led to the war on gaza. yeah, 11 day war that took place in may. so the police say yes, we have learned we are going to allow people to go to the mosque. we're not going to use heavy handed security tactics. that is something that the police, the guy in charge of the police effectively this national security minister, minister, it's a mob been given, doesn't one, he wants a hard line. so this dis, disconnect now between what the police are saying publicly and what the national security minister once and that is being seen as

a flat point and run. thank you very much for that. that is amman, con, joining us live from west jerusalem. all right, it is time for the weather now he is everton. hello. we got some really nasty weather across the east side of the mediterranean at the moment. big area cloud just rolling through the levant and it's bringing some very disturb weather, some pretty windy weather as well. you can see some rain there, some snow over the year, the mountains into care that will make its way further east was expect to see some showers there around syria, lebanon jordan, the occupied to me in territories. israel that will slide further east, which as we go one through sas day, so very much a case of some dry weather, but also wet and windy weather to watch out for times. so to pass the saudi arabia also seeing some rain 5 here in kata. doha, at around $28.00 celsius, they'll be some showers, some of the wintry slowly making the way across afghanistan, or that disturb whether we have a cross at east side of the mediterranean,

also affecting the north east of africa, northeast in libya, seeing some wet and windy weather at times and push his way further. reese was cairo 32 celsius on friday, falling back to route 23. as we lose as suddenly when that pushes through towards the sinai peninsula and the rain setting in here, lot of showers there across west africa. now, joining up with a heavy shower rod across the heart of africa, war weather coming into uganda into kenya and tanzania. still ahead on the new south. i said it was strange. don't miss it. don't miss it. the 20th prime minister urges voters to back a referendum that will constitution recognize the nation's 1st and of the set back for one of the title favorite girls will match play championship ah.

firing stories from around the world. ah, human life is fast. groundbreaking . from award with what is going on in new york city. on a just the latest news as it breaks evidence in a place like this, where people say just a few bodies have been recovered, complete to the number of people missing with detailed coverage. pharmaca government policies are making it difficult for them to export on climate change have all to impacted of supply from around the world. their rescue plants showed their confidence in 1st republic and bank of all sides of which are critical to that functioning of the financial system.

oh, a watching the news, our reminder of our stories this our, the government has appointed the senior officials and the to drive people's liberation from the head of a new interim to go regional government get to choose right. those appointments come to dale to the left was removed from a list of terrorist organizations. and now the 8 cases of mob viruses have been confirmed and equitorial guinea, bringing the total to 9 since the outbreak was declared and february, the disease killed 5 people intensity of this week. and the bank of england has increased the benchmark interest rate 5 percentage points for point 25 percent. it

is the 11th consecutive re try for just a day off the announcement that inflation has also gone up. well, let's get more on the story. we're joined by vicky prize and economist and board member of the center for business and economic research and she's joining us live from london. thank you very much for your time. what do you make of the rise of point 25 percent? the same as the u. s federal reserve from the day before well, the u. k. tends to follow what the federal reserve does. it has done in a number of cases during the period of raising interest rates that we've seen the last few months. but what could have been expected just a few weeks ago would have been a 50 basis points increase and then maybe the end of the cycle for interest rate increases here in the u. k. i think there was a similar discussion in, in the u. s. as well, but we've had the banking crisis of sorts if you want to call it that they the issues with a couple of, of, you know, specialized bank smaller banks in the u. s. which required government intervention

. and you fed in europe, credit suisse being bought by u b. s. and the repercussions of that for other banks in terms of contagion on the shaft prices is something which i think has been taken into account. and the reason why we see just a point, 25 percent increase here and in the u. s. is partly because of that and inflation is the right to say has gone up, but it hasn't gone out only in february in the u. k. has gone having a number of countries in europe as well, and that's probably why the europeans of the bank raises rates by 50 basis points last week. and do you think that the interest rate rise alone? does it address any of the fundamental causes of inflation that we're seeing in the u. k. such as the failure in the energy market of the global supply chain shock? i think most of the factors i have contributed is very substantial. increase in inflation in most countries have tended to be international once the energy prices, as you rightly suggests, but also food prices that had gone up very significantly. and

a lot of supply chain issues. post covent, which have continued in the u. k. perhaps more strongly than is the case elsewhere, whether the interest rate increases have really made any big difference of inflation picture is debatable, but i think the bank of england is worried about right now is that some of that inflation is becoming a bit more embedded in the economy and we've seen wages which are going up, although not as fast as perhaps have been anticipated. still less than the rate of inflation a stabilizing a bit. and we've seen firms as well feeling a lot more confident or perhaps been forced to raise the room prices a lot more than it's been the case, particularly in areas like restaurants and bars. and the food area has been one or has been particularly badly. and as you mentioned, we've seen inflation go up around the world. of course the interest rates go up to try and curve inflation. but how much would you say the issues that we're seeing in the u. k. might have been caused by bricks. it there is

a bit of abraxas element. what is obvious is that we have lost quality workers. so the tight labor market here is tighter than is the case in quite a lot of other countries. so that's one, a supply chain issues tend to be a bit more difficult in the u. k. so i think inflation has been kept higher. yes, of course with inflation pickup, as i said in february, some other countries including germany and france, about those figures aren't anything like as high as they are here. so braxton has been blamed for part of the differential that we have with other countries. by the same time we have to bear in mind that if you look ahead and where we might be in a few months time, given that energy price isn't going down. so significantly or have come down very sharply back to where the, where a couple of years ago, gas prices, oil prices, of course both have said relatively similar changes. i've taken place going down rather than up recently. and food prices international for price isn't going down. we haven't seen that, he reflected in shops,

i would imagine that we may end up with inflation not being very dissimilar if those trends continue by the end of the year to other countries as well. despite the brakes, it felt less price. it's great to get your expertise on this. thank you very much. vicky price of the center for business and economic research live in london, g to nigeria. now where the informal economy is struggling because there isn't enough cash, a redesign of the local currency as well as a recall of old bank notes is being claimed. nearly half the population doesn't have a bank account. auckland address reports from connell. goods arrive of the senior market by the truck, but with not enough bank newton. so i q lation traders are struggling to find buyers for their goods. other than with another single cut on today that that, that even people from rural areas who used to buy

a 1000 cartons of goods with cash can no longer do that. most of them are on banks . why you are the one in october last year, nigeria central bank announced the redesign of the highest denominations of the local currency than ira for the bank then took the bank notes out of sight correlation to discourage that use. that's left millions of nigerians queuing it. banks full months desperate for the new note. there isn't enough money to go round . commercial banks of such cash withdrawal limits to just $20.00. sometimes they have no cash to dispense at all. oh, informal trade me except 60 percent of nigeria economy and most transactions take place in cash. i shortage of bank notes and unreliable money francois system are making life difficult for small businesses. shoe more blames the government's monetary and fiscal policies for the collapse of his business. but it did it. yeah, yeah, i get of ahmad at that. evolved today. it's difficult to feed my family as we speak

. i only have $0.50 in the shop with i don't even have enough to give the shop assistant money to catch a bus. home. nigeria, supreme court has intervened and ordered the central bank to put the old notes back into psych, elation until the end of the year. that was after some governors took both the central bank and federal government to court. when the economy, those down. i knew i need to activate it, you reflected no deflated, what's happening is led to believe in the economy. and it is impacted negatively on the people. economies warn of dangerous ahead for an economy that's already st tool recessions in eighty's. once economy's experience in this, it simply means that the economy collapse at any time and let before you ginger, people to production again to to tick tock. because that trust government and it's
