unfortunately an explosion in hunger is a hunger crisis and millions of people. unfortunately, severe hunger conditions in family lie conditions. so we're looking for the g 7 to lead in this very difficult circumstances. and we propose that given that there has been really quite significant, excess profits of funded profits in certain factors. and we have identified many very large companies in the g 7 that have these record high profits that they're winful. taxes will be one way in which resources can be mobilized and utilized to address these tremendous situations of survival in crisis that is being experienced at the moment by millions of people across the world. well, the problems that you mentioned, poverty and hunger, these have been an issue for many, many years. and now russia's war in ukraine has effectively made things worse by push,

pushing of the cost of things like energy and fertilizers and grain. can you tell us more about how this is impacting the most vulnerable people? i was in somalia in in march. so malia is one of the countries that it's hardest hits, but it's been one of many that is hit at the moment by hunger. and they already have these shows the climates and making it m, the droughts that they're experiencing, are extremely severe and widespread. then the pandemic also meant countries became more indebted. and so they have that problem mostly limited resources to invest. and then the issue of the conflict in ukraine has meant that there's less availability of, of food. and for many of them countries, for example, in east africa, almost all imports it from russian and ukraine. so if making a bad situation much worse,

there multiple crisis at the same time and you said the cost of fuel is also compounding the situation. so distribution is more expensive. so we're looking to address this immediate situation of crisis by moonlight conditions for so many people, and then also address the root causes and did you 7 has made commitments to ending world hunger in the past, what we're saying now is that these commitments can be really now underscored with fundy, that is available because of these record profits that are being made by some of the largest corporations. gabriella bourget, executive director of the anti poverty organization oxfam. thank you so much for seen to us. thank you. to the war in ukraine now, and after a weeks of fierce fighting against invading russian forces, ukrainian troops are retreating from the eastern city of soviet or the next original officials said,

ukraine's units would move to stronger positions. recent days have seen russia make significant gains around the strategic eastern city. russia is trying to in circle ukrainian forces and sees the entire don. beth's region, local ukrainian officials say the fighting is intensifying and nowhere in the east is safe any more for residence or for the latest, we can go to the ukrainian capital, kia, wordy, w correspondent. economy is standing by for us. hello to unix, so ukrainian forces pulling out of severe the nets. is this of major victory for russia? it's a victory. sure, but it's been a very long time coming in. it comes as a huge price in terms of our manpower last and in terms of weapons and basically a prestige busy all of russia's or military might, has been thrown at a very small section of this very long front lines. and it's taking them weeks to take the city. it's busy turn into a 2nd marable. yes, they're taking it,

but at the price of making no gains along the other front lines and allowing ukrainian to counterattack other places ukraine of seas and a lot of pressure as a democratic country to minimize losses. and all these families of people who out there fighting, paying very close attention to decisions, being taken by ukraine's military leadership and critical of anything that would endanger them. so yes, this is a controlled or controlled withdrawal is something that versions will celebrate given they haven't had much celebrate in recent months, but it doesn't cardinal in a, in a huge kind of strategic way. change the situation in don't bass. ukraine still controls a chunk of don bass and most of what it's last was lost in the 1st 2 weeks of this war. when the russians are now expected, had turned their attention to the nearby city of las ish ask, can we expect a similar scenario to play on there as is there an anal for now, it seems like this is going to be a st street fighting it is going to be long, nasty, protected, thankfully,

most civilians have been evacuated and some who are still there, have been getting out in small groups without much in the way of publicity. basically doing under the radar. m, ukrainian authorities were very vocal in the weeks, months adding up to this to people should get out while they still have a chance to do to so in safety to avoid seemed like we saw in marable. and there had been expectation that defending as a chance would be easier for ukraine. does a river there between 70 than escal chance and some geography, which makes it easy to defend. the russians have now been coming towards the, such as for the south avoiding that river, so potentially a place into their hands. but at the bigger picture is still the fact that russia, in spite of its huge security, in terms of weapons in terms of boots on the ground, is making very slow progress and nothing. it would really suggest a collapse in ukraine's position for now. and this war has now entered it his month. nick, how are the people holding up in ukraine?

it's a very mixed picture here, where i'm in care of, you know, sometimes you walk around and you kind of can forget that we are in a country at war. you hear the air raid sirens, people stay in the cafes, stay doing what they're doing, trying to live some kind of normality or their hand. the streets are still notably empty. and sometimes it feels like there's only about half the number of people on the streets that you saw before the war people savings are running out. now, lots of jobs have fallen away and people may be who would want to return to kia from poland for the places in western europe and central europe, where they fled to. and i often selves even if they can afford to come back, even if it's safe because they're not sure about their jobs. the government for now is holding up, but it is increasingly dependent on western finance to pay salaries and to keep fighting on the front lines of the desired fight as their question is whether ukraine will have resources going forward in the colonic connelly in kia. thank you, nick. let's get a quick check now. some of the other stories making news around the world. the

organizers of the oslo pride festival have cancelled their parade and all other events, after a shooting at a gay bar and night clump in the norwegian capital, at least 2 people were killed. police are treating the incident as a terrorist attack. a suspect was arrested at the scene. thousands of people are without food and water. an indian after monsoon flooding, devastated parts of eastern som state. unusually heavy rains submerged dozens of towns and villages. authority say 5000000 people have been displaced. the flood water is hampering efforts to get aid to people in need. protesters of clash with police in ecuador as capital quito for the 12th day in rome. thousands of indigenous ecuadorian have taken to the streets in response to a hike in fuel prices and the soaring cost of living. at least 3 people have died in the unrest to the united states. now where the supreme court has ended

50 years, a federal abortion rights. in a 63 ruling, the court overturned the landmark 1973 roe vs wade decision that enshrined a woman's right to an abortion. the ruling is being described as a constitutional earthquake. you a states now have the power to set their own abortion laws around half are expected to restrict or completely ban access to abortions. i choice no longer this misery became the 1st state to ban abortions as roe vs wade was overturned. this clinic in st. louis had been the last place in the state to perform abortions. for me, it's tragic because we tried so hard to get this one in 1973 when finally, when the victory now 50 years later named york is away from the

abortion campaign. as celebrated outside the supreme court a reason for labor. today, i'm so grateful for them and there are in that i can be generating this in 13 states had so called trigger bands. that meant that abortion was immediately banned as the ruling came through or it will be banned in the near future. a dozen or so other states could also be binding abortion soon. the end to roe v wade was made possible after former president donald trump appointed a record 3 justices to the supreme court. in his ruling, the court argued that abortion was not what it hold deeply rooted in u. s. history and traditions for vice president common a harris. those words set a dangerous precedent. that theory then calls into

question other rights that we thought were settled such as the right to use birth control, the right to same sex marriage the right to interracial marriage on the streets of new york city and elsewhere. supporters of the rights to abortion showed their anger in a country without universal health care and little or no parental leave for them. it's a matter of privacy and of having the right to choose for oneself. you're up to date, andy w, news a marina evans team from me and the team, thanks for watching interest the global economy, our portfolio
