rather after weeks of protests, will go straight to the capital costume. demonstrations against a national lockdown in the netherlands turned violent. the government says the restrictions of vital to stop the spread of the army cranberry it. people and turkey see their purchasing power almost banish as prices jump more than 10 percent in a single month. year on year inflation is running at 36 percent the highest in 2 decades . mauretania turns to a traditional mode of transportation as part of its efforts to fight terrorism in the flash point saw hel region. ah, i'm beautiful and welcome. sedans, prime minister has resigned following months of political turmoil. abdullah and

doug said it was not possible for him to restore order under a power sharing agreement with the military after the army stage a coup last year. hm. duke was reinstated to head up a transition back to civilian government. ah, under the weekend of protests used to don, the quickly descended into violence. at least 2 people were killed by security forces. after thousands of pro democracy demonstrators took to the streets, dozens have died in unrest since prime minister abdullah ham dock signed to polish m deal with the military following accruing october. but he now admits that hasn't worked out. a new thinking is needed. oh, in our local massacre, i decided to give back the responsibility and announced my resignation as prime

minister locum to give a chance to another man. a woman of this noble country was at all to continue leading odyssey in action, but at the will and help it passed through what's left of the transitional period to a civilian democratic country. while aboard me colon my the buck graham and i'm willing to go now with donald mckinney and timothy among the military and civilian leaders, have been sharing power since it also cracked. omar bashir was ousted in 2090 after 30 years and charge elections are currently planned. for july, boots with ham dock gone and sued, done roiled by and rest the road to democracy. looks increasingly fragile. journalist mohammed, i mean, joins us now from cato. how are people reacting to this latest development?

yes, thank you. the people are actually a device in feelings, actually that is a kind of joy very in the capital or over this as a nation of the prime minister. some of the in him as a close to the country as a savior or symbol for the a civilian of the country. but others also a step from the prime minister, accuse him of legitimizing the monday through the 21st november the that he made the army. and now he like take off a condition that he gave to the for the military

early. so politically talk and also we're still waiting for the, for the position of the african union and the international community because, you know, to dance membership in the african union has been suspended because of the military rule. but they were taught to, to leave the session from then after the 21st november even. but now after the, the, the, the, the, that is a nation of it looks that now is fully in the hands of the military. and that's mean, so that is, and the for military ruling and this is, may, may, may mean a big sit back for the revolution as well. as for the, do you have an international communities tell us about how to, why did the prime minister choose to resign? now, what could happen next?

it's a, as a prime minister has exhibit is super frustration actually a few days ago and minute of course said in the past days that he was intended to resign the mass, there are a lot of reasons actually, but the most violence used again is the british in the, in the past few days by the military and security organs may be the main reason for him to resign because he agreed with the military to grab the freedoms of asian freedom of assembly in freedom of protesting. as well as going back to the constitution aeration, among other conditions of his, of his acceptance to do that deal with all that has, will be made actually buy the but by the military and security organs by his buttons. so this is why i'm talking so says very,

very clearly in his address yesterday that this model of the partnership between the civilians and military components in sudan has failed to achieve any place with transformation and the main cause of the transition. so they are part of this that even on the ground today are quoting for a new man, much administration the cookie to actually to, to base your anger. it's about the killing of just a, this is the, as you may know, the but it just as have been killed in the purposes of this or this, this tension between the military and civilian will continue and administer him. so say that me down to slide into more development, and i mean in cartoon with the latest. thank you very much for the update. another hong kong media route that is shutting down in the face of growing pressure from

the chinese government citizen news said it no longer felt safe to publish after journalists from a competitor with charged with sedition. the decision by one of the territories few remaining independent news providers came on the same day that a new legislative council loyal to beijing was sworn in for hong kong. this is the start of a new era. these, the 1st lawmakers to take office and a new election rules that excluded any one deemed disloyal to china's communist government. and the 1st to be sworn in under china's national emblem. another sign of beijing's tightening grip. just 20 were directly elected with vote to turn out the lowest and the city returned to chinese rule. so young de la young hong kong chief executive, carry lam oversold the ceremony. she now faces even less descent from outside the council as well. after a major independent news website announced its closure emitted media crackdown,

although i don't know we've been trying our best not to violate any laws, but we can no longer see clearly the reasoning of lauren foresman up of the i c o b . and we can no longer feel safe to work on the move was prompted by a police raid on pro democracy outlet stand news last week, when several journalists were arrested under colonial era sedition law. to many western observers, citizen uses closure is it's the latest sign of hong kong, increasingly on free media environment and of how rapidly beijing has worked her road to city special status and freedoms. let's talk about that without correspond . fee cong, citizen used to claim it could no longer report without fear. what does the news media have to fear? but a top edit has off citizens do use today. they've told the press that the explicitly

that the closure of citizen the use was on the decision was checked out by the closure of another pro democracy news outlet stand news. just a few days ago, after police rated the newsroom on the ascent of deployed over $200.00 offices, to search the homes of the of the editors at the found out the top management. and also the, the editorial office. and the police also the frozen sets they were made in hong kong dollars of stan news and prosecuted the top editors for publishing seditious publications. so that particular case has triggered our wiring, ging armed, in fact, in the hong kong, a journalistic industry including citizens news. so that's why they decided to are closed the media outlets before they were exposed to a further risk under the national security di and also adul fences. our wish was a and net turn during the colonial you are, but now being we used by the authorities to target politico,

the sense that this is the main fear of our citizens news and they have set that down. even the top editors were on very fat, thrown journalist will have to work in the industry for decades. they can't insure the safety of the stop. so that's why they have to make this decision. so phoebe, what ben is the state of free, independent reporting in hong kong following disclosure. oh, citizen news except pledged in just a 2017. it was, are an independent news outlet, mainly i financed by our subscriptions for yourself to be there as it was, are independently around like it without a pressure from the business people or political pressure. so citizens, they and also stand news which was shut down earlier last week on both of them are have game huge popularity in hong kong, even though they're just a very young media outlets in hong kong with just

a few years history. but they are really popular, have a large read base of millions of business in hawkeye, especially those are pro democracy supporters. so this is indeed a really huge blow to dip our journalist industry that to independent media outlets have to close themselves like and so after the prayer, the under the pressure of the authorities and the new legislation and hey, have to adjust when a new normal in hong kong that the media environment and the freedoms on strength hang as sat by the editors and the management of the 2 news outlet. and so it's just only within 6 months apple daddy and the 2 online me, they have shut down. so now we, we can say they are, most of the influential independent media outlets have shut down with only a feel remaining outlet still running. so this is a really like affect the future of home. i also the feature of i'm how jealous can

work on the ground. leslie phoebe, i mentioned the swearing into the new deputies of the legislative council. the election in december was controversial. the candidates were tested for their political loyalty to china. what course will the legislative body now take oh, well this is so today is the 1st day when the lawmakers, so neither not lawmakers met in the parliament. and indeed we are. we, we have seen a kind of harmony within this among themselves because an 89 of them are pro beijing figures with only one of the law make has claimed himself as non co establishment. i'm so this is a result at the lake in this kind of situation because a new a veteran mechanics and was introduced to the electro system and a leading to the absence to are of the major opposition came. so are we no longer c

and the opposition lawmaker inside parliament and out of the, the lawmakers, the probation law makers have already stressed that they will cooperate with the authorities in terms of many issues, including the enactment of offered a national security related offences. and i left a station, so this is some of their genders that we're expecting that will further affect there, hold political landscape in hong kong, dw, corresponding, phoebe com. thank you. let's get you up to date on some of the other stories making use around the world. brazilian media say president j a both an arrow has been rushed to hospital for treatment of a suspected intestinal obstruction. the 66 year old was already hospitalized last july for an abstracted, intense time resulting from the 2018 nights i left him with step owens to his abdomen. fire has badly damaged south africa's parliament. the blaze destroyed the

flooding. it's north of samantha island. thousands of of been forced to flee their homes. forecasts expect the severe range and thunderstorms to continue overnight. reopen canyon patio anthropologist richard leaky has died at the age of 77. is work helped underpin the theory that human evolution began in africa. the famously led campaigns to destroy tons of elephant ivory in efforts to stop like poaching turkeys, annual inflation rate jump to more than 36 percent in december at the highest level in almost 2 decades. the value of the turkish lira is slumped to record lows, forcing retailers to high prices sharply. the currency has suffered as a result of the series of central bank rate cuts for fruit by president rich. apply a bad one. let's get more on this from rob wants from the don't you business, rob, just how severe is the problem in turkey? considering that there are inflation worries at the moment all around the world

because of cobra. but how much more of a worry is that in turkey? right, well, it turns out it's an even bigger worry than anyone had thought. no. was expecting certainly analyst. when a figure of 36 percent they converged around sort of 27 percent. they were expecting it to cross that 30 mark. these are the, the worst figures in bridget type ada one's time empower. so it's a really serious situation. and the key driver behind is the problems that turkey is having with its currency, the turkish layer, which is lost almost half of its value during the course of the year 2021. it started the year, it's 7th, the u. s. dollar. it's now around about 14, although one point during last month it hit 16, the us dollar. and you know, when you got a weak currency, what that means is expensive. imports and expensive imports more costs. tina suppliers means a price hikes get passed on to consumers and means their food starts to get more expensive and that's something that took. so really saying,

so what's being done to get things under control because sounds like it's quite counterproductive. what is there to one is doing? yes, that is the strange situation that turkey finds itself in, which is that the president has an economic policy that he thinks is going to bring about a new lease on life for the turkish economy. but it would appear to be actually this policy is the cause of most of turkey's problems. so what he believes is that high interest rates cause inflation, which is against the received wisdom. so he's been pushing for lower interest rates and he's been sucking central bank governors who disagree with him on that. he sac 3 central back of it since 2019 other. as i say, the receive wisdom is that actually what you want to do is you want to raise interest rates. and as a result of that, what you do is you get people to save a bit more and mass spending less than that stops prices rising. but no rich type,

one doesn't subscribe to that, and he says his big economic plan, what he calls his economic war of independence, is eventually going to bear fruit and the turks need to be a bit more patient with it. okay, well well turks have to hold out. you mentioned this savings what, what's happening to the savings of them and what it, what are they doing to ensure that the savings don't disappear? well, yeah, this is the problem because their savings are becoming worse, less and less and less. so what can you do in that situation? if you got a problem with your currency? well, you can start getting hold of other currency and using that instead, but that's not really an option for a lot of turkish people. another thing you can do is you can invest in safe haven assets, things like gold. and that is something that we are seeing gold merchants in turkey saying they're having to sell in ever smaller denominations of a smaller pieces of gold because so many people want to buy them because the price doesn't fluctuate too much. and those are those things that turn to having to resort how times right now. rewards,
