a matter that's not played so impasse more than what mr. i thankfully just to commit that is it's a meeting to be otherwise the people, you know, not all of these sites and dispatch been denied me to, to receive in your experience. so there will be any consequences to these findings by the onto their investigations team in reality, to under their power be if it fits them so that they are bigger than government. and it's true because you see like when, when, where was the president's office? one benefit for the benefit of is close friends, benefit of your friends, marcia, and to develop the past, if you check like the, what was case, it's now more open,

marcia, but it's what about the initial market comes to the market, but in the market, the country so lot needs to be done and this was a long way to open the eyes of the cities in which i've been at, you know, but it will be like maybe the national political it or anything. when in reality, the threats to our loads is corruption. you must move if you check, if it is the capacity to not go in some of the least expensive industrial till the children, i couldn't go to school. i got your messages. but the angel we saw in this your showing your capacity to move a billy on don't have been just like that's he comes in like is more fit in the cities. believe me pretending to be more scholarship to be janetta. yes.

weapons day when many economists expected it to fall below 10 percent. second of all, there is food inflation and that's running even higher than headline inflation. the latest increase, 18 percent in the price of fresh food and non alcoholic drinks. and the cost to bore was, is also significant. the average tracking mortgage compared to december 2021. now $394.00 pounds per month. more expensive for mortgage hold us. so more borrowing pain for businesses and mortgage holders here in the u. k, at least in the short term. but there are some signs for optimism from what the bank has had to say. first of all, the monetary policy committee was not unanimous in deciding to increase the rate 7 voted in favor to were in favor of keeping the rates where it is that the thing was that it was a quarter percent rise, as opposed to the recent monthly half percent rises that the bank has imposed. and finally, the bank of england is now forecasting that britain will avoid recession in 2023.

a new framework with i m f. that's why we are emphasizing the importance of di amounts because it's putting a new framework that over 3 decades, none of that have been used governments, past liberties. government has managed to put together to build through economy to build a true financial system, to build a resilient economy with a vision. this is what we're trying to do. the fight between the old system and the new system is really does the store many points that we are all now fighting over protest, sir, continuing across from, says the government's plans to raise the retirement age. protests protest as we police in paris with security forces to hiring tia gas for francis high speed train services with council rubbish still piled up in the streets of the capital because

of stoppages by rubbish collectors. a defined president mccomb said a wednesday that the pension reforms when necessary, natasha butler has more from pers, whatever time and bad musicians i for that thousands of people and the last day in federal parish, the pe synonymous with the french revolution and whose protest a lot of people who are here angry with the french government pension bill, they say it's, i'm just different for that. it is going to impacts poor work as much more than others. but it's not any back that sport people out today who will say the fact the person macros government of pushed through this pension reform bill by to clean bypassing parliament. people say that just shows the makeover has no respect for people in the street. and he has no respect for frances institutions. they say, let's all clinical financial sandy. we're waiting for the union to bring the country to a standstill. that's the only thing that will stop micron. we've had enough mcroy, they want him to go,

the government. scott record it's ready. prime minister benjamin netanyahu says he's determined to proceed with the country. is controversial. judicial overhaul. hundreds of demonstrators have been blocked rhodes in protests on thursday. israel's parliament past the 1st of several laws that make up the overhaul. as despite nationwide protests against the changes which limit the powers of the supreme court critic saying it threatens democracy. in one con has more from occupied east jerusalem. you have to question why he stuck to his guns, why he's sticking to his guns. and the reason is very simple. one of the key ministers with in his cabinet, you've got on to the defense minister. it has been described as an adult in the room, a voice of reason when it comes to the protest. and now he's the defense for this up. one of the reasons he's very worried about this protest is because so many of

his reservists, afo's pilots, people who are crucial israel security and actually join the protest movement. he's seeing it through security and he's understanding the actually is role security is a threat because of his protests making. so he was about to give a statement in direct contradiction to what lesson. yeah, he wanted saying that you need to slow down the movement, but you need to slow down the passing of laws. we need to have a conversation. he was about to do that in television. when prime minister benjamin netanyahu called him to jerusalem, he went to jerusalem. officially, it was a meeting to discuss israel security arrangements. but that speech that he was about to get a one at yahoo to slow down at the passing of bills didn't happen. well, the flex will ban transgender women from elite female competition, that international events, the bodies president, sebastian co said no transgender athlete who had gone through mail. puberty would

be permitted to compete. co said the decision was made based on the overarching need to protect the female category. and a working group would be established to find ways of trans inclusion. he also noted that there are currently no transgender athletes competing internationally in the sport of a link takes effect. on the 31st of march, the council has agreed to exclude male to female transgender athletes of been through male puberty from female world ranking competitions. from march the 31st this year, the majority of those consulted, stated that transgender athletes should not be competing in the female category. many believe there is insufficient evidence that trans women do not retain advantage over biological women and want more evidence than any physical advantages have been ameliorated before they are willing to consider an option for inclusion

into the female category. like i will stove into this little bit more. i'm joined now by former olympic swimmer, sharon davis. welcome to the news. so 1st of all, what does this by mean to you? it's been a long time campaigning for facebook, for females, for me, you know, it's never been an antique trans position. i'm, i'm a big believer, the sport b for all. and i actually love school is kind of shaped exactly who i am. however, because of my history with east german area which went on for 20 years at the i see a light to happen, a whole generation of girls lost that to east german girls that were filled full of testosterone. and i just did not want that to happen. to another generation of young girls and, you know, we, we know history science, the 17 peer review studies that, that say that we cannot mitigate against male puberty advantage. there's not a single one that says that we can. so what we were asking in females to do was to start to raise knowing that i had a disadvantage against them. and that was not fair because we would not ask males

to do that. so we should not be most to do that either. what would it have meant to your limited experience? you've already talked about that we've had people who have experienced puberty as a biological male being allowed to compete in the same category as you me is just basically unfair. you know, spot is all about fairness. that's the whole principle of sport. we have lots of different classifications. we don't like 15 year olds for example. and then finally, under 12, we've done away a lot of heavy weight books is to identify as bantam, wait, some race in a fight, people much lighter than them. so this is all about categories that have been put across society to create level playing fields, to give the biggest opportunities for whole a society to be competitive in sports. and we were taking that away from half of the world which are biological females. and it's not that we're better or worse, it's just that we're different. we have different biology and it doesn't enable us to have male pvc to have the dynamic strengths that mail biology brings. and so that in sport, it was anything between 10 and 30 percent. and for example,

in something like a punch, a male of equal weight and size to a female will punch a 160 percent harder. so in contact sports, it was incredibly dangerous. the jury's been out on this for quite some time, wasn't it? as recently as january world athletic said, it's preferred option was to continue to allow transgender women to compete to the female category, but to, to taught in the sports eligibility rules, using testosterone limits on the basis for inclusion. what's wrong with doing it that way? because it's my grandson, it works in effect as often as the opposite. so the 17 rabbit peer review studies i just mentioned show t that does not work. the last peer review study was in september last year that came up brazil, one of the biggest. and it shows that even up to 14 years of suppressing testosterone, males will still stronger than females. so there was never a reason that was never grounds for using testosterone as the means for trying to level the playing field. you know, things like q angle which is the shape of a male hit. so knee is part of the band structure and that will never change. and

that helps cadence and running. it helps power weight ratio in cycling. and that will be with somebody if you're biology is male versus your biology is female. so we can't mitigate the benefits that mail biology bring. so therefore we have to think outside of the box and ok, we want support for everybody. so does that mean adding classifications? does that mean creating an open classification? and that's what wasn't done. that's what very disappointing lady and she did not do way back in 2015 to get a sense of there's any movement on this road a because the governing bodies present law co said we are not saying no forever. what do you think you meant by that? i think it just means let's do the science, which is what we were always asking, you know, do the science 1st prove that we can remove any benefit which i really don't believe that we will be able to because of biology and because the bonus structure but if we can then fair enough, maybe we can look at it again. but i think probably what it more means is, let's get around the table and work how we can be inclusive for everybody. how we can create categories,

which includes everybody. and does that mean an open classification, or does it mean extra classifications? but let's brainstorm and find, you know, find better solutions. sharon davis, great to hear your views on this, sir. thanks for joining us. now, 7 people are confirmed dead in the outbreak of marbury virus. and equatorial guinea have a total of 9 cases since the outbreak there began in february. another 20 cases are suspected as an addition to 5 deaths in a separate outbreak. a 1000 kilometers east in tanza, near. there was so no back to it vaccines. all antiviral treatments approved to treat the severe viral fever that concerns the outbreaks could spread to cameroon, and kenya with a virus is in the same family as a bowler and has similar symptoms including fever, fatigue, and vomiting. the spreads between humans directly through bodily fluids. marburg has an average fertility fatality rate rather or 50 percent, but it varies by strain and can be as high as 88 percent in the worst are breaking

and go in 2005. it killed more than 300 people booked too much. she does so my etc, is the world health organizations regional director for africa. she explains what steps need to be taken to contain the marble virus 1st and foremost, so we need to intensify the epidemiological surveillance. so quickly, confirming contacts of cases, cases themselves. and the most important thing to do, of course, is to stop the transmission of the virus. the virus is transmitted in body fluid, so blood, sweat, alive, other body fluid. so what is very important is, 1st of all, for health care workers who are some of the 1st contacts. and we have had a couple of health co workers die in a pictorial guinea to, to make sure that they are aware of all the precautions, even as they do the clinical care of people and investigations of the disease. they have the knowledge that they need and they have the equipment that they need. so

personnel protection equipment, gloves, masks, and so forth to stop them being infected. and then very importantly, at the same time as we are, understanding further confirming the cases, isolating the cases to make sure that we minimize contact with other people. we have to progressively build up these systems so that we're not starting from scratch each time. and one of them, most important aspects of this is really the population's understanding community is understanding and the role that they can play. because at the end of the day, our health systems don't penetrate the community to the degree that we can do without their own triggers. of suspicion and recall of this is what we were told we needed to be careful about. that needs to be reinforced. of course, we need community health contact with the population. so people are reminded and enabled to minimize the transmission here without a 0. still to campus news,

our schools reopen in afghanistan. the teenage girls are still bothered by taliban officials, nigerian cash crisis. the currency shortage leaves local scrambling. somebody ah, for hello . as we head towards the clocks moving forwards for rest summer time, by saving hours across good parts of europe, temperatures will start to slide away so we got winds coming in from the atlantic, bringing in some mild wrapper, ease and wet animals. this windy weather said he back across north western parts of here west, whether to inter good part of france, northern areas of spain and portugal, to the fine weather at the moment that's located i which was the east i which was the balkans asap for the hungarian plain as keeping it settled for the time being but the west

ah, welcome back to remind me of the top story, see when i, which is 0 vouchers. who is investigative unit, has found a senior diplomat from zimbabwe, agreeing to launch more than a $1000000000.00 in cash. even angel was filmed, meeting with what he believed were chinese gangsters. the bank of england has raised interest rates for the 11th time and 18 months in a bid to curb inflation. the quarter a percentage point rise takes the rate to 4.25 percent follow similar measures by other central banks. and the international monetary fund is wanting levitt on urgently needs reforms to prevent hyperinflation. additional agreement was reached last year on a $3000000000.00 loan to safety economy, but the stipulation changes have been made. now the head of one of the world's biggest app companies as appeared before a u. s. house committee,

the ceo of tick tock shoes, e chew. it was called by the house energy and commerce committee to answer questions about the app as fee as grow over national security. tick tock is owned by a chinese company is to tractors insist it feeds data to the chinese government. and the demand in the app be shut down or sold to an american business. in september 2021, tick tock said it had a 1000000000 monthly active uses globally. facebook and comparison has 2900000000, instagram, 1400000000 and twitter 300000000. tick tock said on monday. it now has a 150000000 monthly active uses in the u. s. alone, that's up from a 100000000. in 2020. take talk is available in a 154 countries and 75 different languages. it's u. s. revenues expected to hit 8750000000 dollars this year, like hadn't reports from washington d. c. it was a rare moment of bipartisanship in

a divided congress. welcome to the most bipartisan committee in congress. we may not always agree on how to get there, but we care about our, our national security here at issue here of free speech rights. federal control of social media and national security issues in recent days shows the 2 and his team had been lobbying in washington, including meeting with each member of this committee, the charm offensive carried on tick tock itself. i'm super excited to announce that more than a 150000000 americans on take talk decimal half of the us. but congressional critics, we're not deterred, chick talk, is a grave threat of foreign influence in american life. it's been said is like, wow, in the soviet union, the power to produce saturday morning cartoons during the cold war, but much more powerful and much more dangerous than kritisha and shown to the

committee disturbing, tick tock, content that was found on the feed of a 16 year old, who killed himself by jumping in front of the train. it's the ledge, the content contributed to just suicide. we must save our children from big tech companies like yours. number one. we will keep safety, particularly for teenagers as a top priority for us to insist talk didn't share information with the chinese government, saying the company would take steps to ensure independent monitoring of data use. all protected us data will be under the protection of us law. and under the control of the u. s. that security team, i will 1st a few liberal members of the house of oppose the move to shut down, tick tock, the prime. we hear that this would be against the 1st amendment between them of speech close in the constitution. but it appeared the majority support either shutting the down or forcing the sale to a us company. the f

b i director has told congress that tick tock represents a national security threat. the federal government has ordered that it be removed from all federal devices. the previous administration attempted to shut the tick tock down, but the move was stopped by the courts and whatever emerges from these hearings is likely at some stage to be a protracted legal argument was based on the 1st amendment around mike hannah al jazeera washington. okay, well i'm joined by don horn, the full marketing executive deputy seo for the state of new york. he led the band of tech talk on all state issued phones within state executive agencies. welcome to the program, to look at a country where nearly half of the entire you asked us are under 50000000 users use . take talk. one your opinion. do you think it's actually so popular and influential? i think it's so popular because people's attention spans have gone down in,

allows them to be able to see things very, very quickly. and some of the things on there are quite comical. so the addictive a logarithms caused them to stand there for 4 hours. and i think that's why it's so popular, because with huge influence comes concerning the f b, i raise concerns over its use in possibly harvesting data and manipulating software . all these fees grounded in fact, in your opinion. yeah, they're absolutely grounded in fact. you know, we've seen this out of the chinese government before where they packed and the systems data is, is so valuable today. and the fact that you have real time data on a 150000000 people. it's just concerning this should be concerning to any country, isn't this surely what the likes of instagram already do they instagram does the same sort of thing. you're absolutely right, and i'm not saying that a ban of tick tock is the solution. everything. i think there's needs to be

a lot of policy change in the united states to protect consumers, protect our citizens in protector data. what so little make is something i just think seem to be most concerned about is the manipulation and the harvesting of data and software. and that data being sent back to the chinese communist party. we're shred of evidence. do they have that? that might be the case, it's written in their documents. you look at take tax documents, it says it gives access to any sort of device that that's connected to the phone and it can associate the information from that phone to other information that that tick tock has. the direct evidence said, going back to the chinese government, i think i'll leave that up to get the d o j to come to that conclusion in investigation. you said you wouldn't advocate a total bond is not right, but what would you advocate? yeah, i would advocate that they create some very strict policies that will allow

a tick tock to operate, but for more education purposes, for people under the age 18. 18. i think it would be a great tool to educate the use of this country on math and science and engineering principles. and i think you should use that way and we used to get kids to commit suicide. we've seen 10 mom canada, great britain. the new zealand, along with the european union, already been picked up from devices issue to government employees. would that be a half way house for lawmakers in the u. s. you think? i think any social media application should be banned from government basis, telling people that should have that sort of thing or, or communications people. and those devices should be segregated from other networks. they should just run off 5 g networks and not be connected to why fi networks and have location data on them. even if hypothetically a bla bond is what sir. lawmakers obviously wanted, given how ingrained given how, or how much of a part tick tick, tock am already plays in u. s. society,
