11:15 pm
equipment is not sole if local street markets but, only come from the russian military. in many parts of eastern ukraine, the front lines truly are not far from the front door. that puts slins in ss -- puts slins in s-- civilians in the crossfire. >> they're saying the fighting has completely changed the way people live their lives. >> thursday through friday they come to the 138th cease-fire violations. on friday saturday another 100 cease-fire violations. what does it mean for people on the ground? it means innocent civilians subject to shelling in their homes and apartment buildings, especially in donetsk. children are affected not being able to go to school not having access to essential goods. we've documented shelling in the past weeks, and there's more reports coming in as we speak of hospitals also being hit. >> according to the u.n., the conflict in ukraine has
11:16 pm
displaced more than a million people. and that's just since march of last year. incredible. projections for the world's economy are worse than previously predicted. the international monetary fund lowered its projections for the next two years. it expects the world economy to grow 3.5% this year and 3.7% next year. that's despite trillions of dollars being pumped into the global economy and lower gas prices. >> and both of these estimates are down from the group's forecast october. russia is expected to be among the hardest hit countries. a slowdown is already hitting china. the world's second largest economy grew last year but only by 7.4%. that is the weakest expansion there in 24 years. >> and take a look at this. here's how asia's markets are responding. so far, the nikkei closed up 2%. the shanghai composite up as well.
11:17 pm
australia's asx was down slightly. we'll bring in will ripley live from beijing with more on china's economy. will of course china may have record its slowest growth plate 24 years. the world's second largest economy continues to grow more rapidly than any other major economy. how are these numbers playing out in china? >> that's very true, rosemary. you make an excellent point. a lot of countries are envious of china's growth. this figure is significant for a couple of reasons. one because it slightly went below what the government was projecting as growth for 2014. the government was projecting 7.5. this is 7.4. more significantly, you talked about the tremendous growthtulate japan enjoyed from 19 -- growth rate japan enjoyed from 1990. the tremendous growth has been
11:18 pm
key to keeping public order and stability in the country. not to mention that a lot of other countries are affected by what happens to china's economy economically. and the international monetary fund says that this economic slowdown here will continue. they're predicting 6.3% growth in china for the year 2015. you know psychologically, the 8% growth factor is really important in this country because a lot of people, there's an unspoken pact between the chinese people and the government. as long as the growth rate continues, they tolerate some of the behavior in the chinese government that others may not. the heavy-handed approach censorship bureaucracy. certainly you can expect to see them in the coming year trying to put money into infrastructure and social welfare to ensure that the growth continues. >> indeed. what impact will an economic slowdown likely have on unemployment across china?
11:19 pm
>> that's another important thing. think about, for example, we visited yesterday one of china's ghost cities a construction project that the government pumped a lot of money into. and yet these new buildings were either sitting unfinished or they're finished but sitting empty. real estate has been a major driver for the chinese economy. and if the real estate slowdown that appears to be happening continues, that affects construction. it affects production. affects the real estate market as a whole. a lot of people invest in real estate. one of the ways they've traditionally gotten good return on their money. there's a chain reaction effect that, lead to unemployment. the unemployment rate still fairly low. in urban areas around 4%. that's not accounting my grans in -- my grants in rural areas, stow's not taken to seriously.
11:20 pm
the concern centers around growth that china needs to continue its economic momentum and, perhaps, more importantly for the government in beijing, for the communist party to stay in power. >> yeah. critical point there. will ripley joining us folklife beijing. many thanks -- joining us live from beijing. many thanks to you. still to come child protesters gassed by police. coming up next you'll see how a demonstration over a closed playground escalated into kids running for cover. before larry instantly transferred money from his bank of america savings account to his merrill edge retirement account. before he opened his first hot chocolate stand calling winter an "underserved season". and before he quit his friend's leaf-raking business for "not offering a 401k." larry knew the importance of preparing for retirement. that's why when the time came he counted on merrill edge to streamline his investing and help him plan for the road ahead. that's the power of streamlined connections. that's merrill edge and bank of america.

many feeling like we're living in one america with two economies. >> because wages have stagnated, there's still a perception out there, correctly so that this recovery has benefited wall street much more than main street. >> reporter: main street is getting a boost from low gas prices. that could put $140 billion back into americans' pockets this year. the president didn't do that. >> presidents can't make gas prices go up and down. >> absolutely not. >> these are big, big, broad global themes that you know they're not the god of mt. olympus. >> reporter: what the president can take credit for -- leading the economy out of the most epic recession since the great depression. >> obama deserves credit for sticking with a policy that placed a lot of emphasis on the fed and interest rates. it's worked. you can see that obama gets credit for staying the course for not going for radical austerity which probably would have made things worse. >> reporter: don't expect streamer and batallion at the
11:32 pm
white house any time soon -- and balloons at the white house any time soon. >> we should not be taking a victory lap because the world is getting more difficult, and we're going to have to do even better to maintain this recovery. >> reporter: for president obama that means more work ahead to protect his economic legacy. christine romans, cnn, new york. while all of that plays out, apparently rosemary's about to make much more money. a new report finds the super rich -- >> you got bad information -- >> -- are about to get even richer. by next year the report says the richest 1% of the population will own more than the other 99% combined. >> that's according to oxfam whose executive director is one of the co-chairs of the world economic forum in davos this week. this means the 80 richest people on earth have the same wealth as the poorest 3.5 billion people. consider that. amazing numbers. >> incredible. >> one official with the
