was actually on old zebra part of the central, if most, always on good luck. so we are the ones grappling the extra mile. there are the media, there we go, we go there and we give them a time to tell their story. power, it finds out, well, we live here, we make the rule, not them. people empower, investigate, expose this and question the youth and abuse of power around the globe. on algebra, ah, financial risks have increased yet inflation as not the size. we decided we turned the corner, the i m f, release his week, his 5 year grow full cost in $3.00 decades. thanks to high inflation banking turmoil and the war and ukraine. ah,

blow, i'm sorry, i'm noisy and london, you're watching al jazeera also coming up on the program. as many as a 100 people fear dead in me and my off to the military targets its opponents with asked strikes. you and chief ontario, terrorist travels to somalia to sound the alarm on the massive need for international aid due to drought and conflicts. and the u. s. and philippines begin their largest joint military drills in decades, is china's navy carries at combat training around taiwan. ah, and welcome to the program. a global economy is in a perilous phase with historically low growth and a rising risk of a recession. that's the warning from the international monetary fund in aids. while the economic outlook, the i'm

a forecast global g d p growth of 2.8 percent this year and 3 percent next year. this is down from the 3.4 percent of last year. and it's mainly due to tight and monetary policy, including higher interest rates among the group of 7 nations. the u. k. economy has the worst forecast. it's expected to shrink by point 3 percent this year. germany is the only other g 7 nation expected to contract as well. the u. s. economy, the while the largest is predicted to grow 1.6 percent at slightly up from the 1.4 percent full cost and january. the m f is predicting 3 percent growth through to 2028. this is the lowest 5 year outlook since forecasts were 1st published in 1990 the funds as far the banking time while could lead to a global recession. in our latest forecast, global growth, we'll bottom out a 2.8 percent this year before rising modestly to 3 percent next year,

almost unchanged from or january projections. this your slow down is concentrated in advanced economies, where growth is expected to fall to 1.3 percent this year before increasing modestly mixture. by contrast, emerging market and developing economies are already pushing ahead in many cases with your and growth accelerating to 4.5 percent this year from 2.8 percent last year. the recent banking instability reminds us, however, that a situation remains fragile. colina mayor is a chief economist, it, i'll be the asset management. she's optimistic about this for costa and says that reducing interest rates would actually help economic growth. i actually don't think there to blew me because if i look at the inflation pressures, they're not going to go away. maybe for some of the c p i. if energy prices should

come down, food prices, should they come down? consumer price index, it can go down, but, but decor, inflation on denise, this very much impacted by the global supply chain goes. so i'm not, i don't think so because, and what happens is because of that and because the mandate of central banks in the u. s. in europe and in and elsewhere, which used to keep inflation or 2 percent, they had to raise interest rates and high interest rates don't help economic growth . and worse than that, who are emerging economies, they mean that will heavily in debt that, that mean that, that, that the burden of payments is going on. i'm 0, victoria jason b explains how much influence the international monetary fund or the i m f. actually has the international monetary fund and institution that promotes global economic stability and perhaps the lender of last resort. or is some say, an outdated organization whose policies damage the social and cultural fabric over

half. we're no better off afterwards. 32 we're poorer. are the critics question whether many nations which borrow money from the i m f. have the ability to repay it for instant sri lanka recently received $2900000000.00 after its economy faced collapse. now your saddle of additional debt from yeah, now been some sort of a longer term. ah, well, the program is likely going to have to step in to help countries through the i m f expects 2023 to be another difficult year with global growth falling below 3 percent. it says, cooperation and solidarity a needed to get through the challenges that lie ahead. solidarity starts a comb with government protecting vulnerable people in their own countries. these meas, fiscal policy, providing targeted support to goals must emit dos,

a danger to filipinos. this is not about miss. all right, the, this is not about helping us in the rest who have been c evans, china. this is about asserting and projecting u. s. power in the u. s. preparing for war. and such concern extends beyond bulletin protesters here oppose the weeks long mulligan by military drills. what they're even more concerned about what is expected to be a larger presence of american soldiers after the government last week said they'll have access to or other philippine military sites bringing the portal to 9 in the norman president for dinner. marcus junior has downplayed fears to philippines, could be used as a launching pad by the us. as 3 of the 4 new locations are near taiwan. the ugly auction on china. i, i heard nina was a good tennis voucher is expected because they have their own concerns. but the philippines who let, allow our own basis to be use for any offensive action,

a leak might have occurred. but one thing that officials have been of very adamant about doing in the past several days since the reports of the saw document leaks 1st became public is to not interfere with the investigation. and certainly not to try to r one, to ground any one who might have actually been responsible for this. so what are they doing to try and tackle that issue? cuz it is very significant set of leaks. i think, the west at cynthia, edward snowden. disclosures in 2013, so is going to be some sort of change in operating protocol to stop this from happening again. well spend report at that time at the pentagon, they are ra, taking a close look at the people who had security clearances, who might have been able to access physical documents. normally, if you're right with a security clearance, you're only supposed to access this kind of information in a room that is

a secured from electronic access. you're not allowed to bring in an electronic watch or a phone or any device that could possibly a photograph or record audio information that is being discussed or shared within that space. there's also of the question of whether officials in other agencies are going to be doing the same kind of thing. although it appears that this is involving pentagon material. certainly one other thing that has been happening is that here at the state department officials at the highest levels we are told have been communicating with their allies and partners who have been named in these documents to try to reassure them. of the u. s. is a commitment to protecting intelligence information and perhaps to try to soothe some wounded egos as well. all right, thank you. from washington, rosalind jordan, it al jazeera ally from london morsel had fully on the program. tens of thousands of dollars, his walk off the job in england list out of afford

well, joe biden is expected in something like an hour's time to land in northern ireland . i had of that, there's been another security alerts in london. dairy, there were 4 pipe bombs, as they're known, a suspected pipe bombs, pretty sure that the police are that they had explosives inside these pipes, or they were found in a graveyard. and now on monday, there was a dissident republican group, a marching into that graveyard and combat gear was burned at the scene. so the police think that this was a plan to try and attack the their officers. they were petrol bombs thrown. so that is a, something of a pointer to the fears about the, the good friday agreement in that could this sort of dissident violence which is

very limited right now. i actually start to undo some of the confidence around the agreement. sir joe biden has sir, made it quite clear that he is here to congratulate the people of northern ireland on an amazing, a 25 years of peace at so that therefore that's that will, he will set that sort of tone. one of these becky nelson present biting on wednesday. well, there's gonna be a meeting go 1st up with the u. k. prime minister richey soon, i could be greeting him on his arrival here to nights. that meeting is bound to include the issue of the good friday agreement, and in that it, sir, power sharing the, the main bedrock to this agreement, that the power sharing just isn't in place at the moment. simply because the, the d, u. p, the democratic union party actually pulled out more than a year ago from leadership of, of the devolved governments in protest at the pre post breaks it, sir,

trade agreements. and now since then, the, the windsor framework has been agreed upon between the european union and the u. k . a government. so which makes things easier, particularly trade with britain. but still, the union is, sir, don't want to do business. and so this is a real shadow cast over this event with that the u. s. president. now will he actually get tough with anyone know the white house has made it quite clear that he's here to encourage or to try to help. and also to talk about the u. k. tre. deal though, that isn't expected to figure in any higher than any big terms. and he will also go to the o, stir a university, new campus and address students there and meets the political leaders of noble islands parties. although that will be a large, bilateral sequence of events. so basically he, it is a very short visit,

less than 16 hours and he'll be on his way to the irish republic where the majority of the 4 days are being spent. i will thank you very much for all the latest from belfast. andrea simmons reporting from our j. u. s. present yet by an expected to touch down shortly in northern ireland for a 4 day visit. on our tens of thousands of doctors across england taking part and afford a walk house either pay more than $350000.00 patients are likely to be affected. then a mark sponsor doctor is involved in a strike on why that reluctantly taking action. it was doctors not ambulances lined up outside english hospitals, tuesday demanding a pay rise of 35 percent off. the government calls that increased unrealistic, but the doctor's union says its members simply want wages restored to where they were 15 years ago. we're all at breaking point, but not just financially but mentally and physically they just called alone like

with some even considering suicide. according to zayed out in the jaw, they struggle more than these 2 are mainly due to the lack of resources now and the conditions under which they have to work. burner rates and medicine here were high before the pandemic. the pressure now driving them even higher, a lot of it is due to excessive workload and working conditions. worry about making errors, worries about causing harm, worry about not being able to provide what it is that you felt you could provide going into the profession. junior doctor's feel this week strike action is the only remaining recalls to help the public and politicians realize these problems are real and require rapid resolutions. villa marx, al jazeera london, one of the world's most active volcanoes has erupted leaving a huge area of the far east of russia covered in ash. each village volcano shore ash more than 20 kilometers into the ab plunging parts of the region into temporal
