harder for you officials to justify their sanctions against russia, to their own voters and taxpayers. all the politicians in europe. i trying to explain the, the very, very difficult things that we can go through in, in the coming months and years. probably all in it, we're getting into recession. we have a 10 percent inflation in, on average, in your 8.5 or 8.9 percent. inflation and i'll do the worst hit will be germany. that's terrible because this is the locomotive of you to panic coming of european industry, even if they could find out gas to replace crash and gas. this would have to be played not in, you know anymore. but in dollars and we don't print dollars a year, so it's gonna get worse and worse, you have a voice is come out of by this princess, but also, for example,
12:10 am
sequel and why. yeah, in france, what has set for one, something crucial that be the conflict in ukraine was not our conflict and, and she could not understand why we impose sanctions that harmless, much more than russia. so it's getting very difficult for the politicians to explain this. and they are trying to prepare a sway before rationing. doesn't probably come in the auto lay on the use of parliament has been demanding answers from spain over the deaths of at least 23 migrants who had been attempting to cross the border from morocco. spain's interior minister has been summoned to the european parliament civil liberties committee. after local investigation concluded, the migrants died from suffocation, not police violence. the deadly incident took place. last month, when a huge crowd tried to rush into the spence enclave of maliyah and just a bit of warning, you may find some of the following images disturbing to teaching ha fuel. now,

12:12 am
who suspects the authorities, have committed a cover of i think they kinda wanna just keep it under the rug and maintain the status quo and totally forgot about it. but now the social media, the picture started showing up everywhere the whole world, seeing what's happening. and it brought attended to an issue that could have remained small and could have gone unheard of for a while now. and so now they're under pressure to investigate. it's a good political strategy by them because now they're looking at weights investigators and say that they're going to look into these issues and hold people accountable to ensure that they protect their reputation and look, look like their country does. can is concerned about these people. but initially the objective was to maintain the status quo and hopefully all statistics passed by morocco getting pressure from the european countries, which it has political, economic relationship with them. so it's in their interest to ensure that they maintain that rhetoric, that these are criminals, is that people entering the country legally, and they cannot backdrop and statement before us. it make them appeal week, almost 3040 people are just murdered and i think just shows you that the lack of
12:13 am
human life is value to the area. and it's a justification because that the actions that occurred there were wrong in people need to be held accountable would seem as if the countries who shouldn't be investigating of protecting their own people while long. because the president has officially resigned, is a mass unrest that has gripped the south asian country shows no sign of abating earlier protesters angered at worsening economic and social conditions breached the prime minister's office. you was appointed as acting president on friday, but people are demanding that he stepped down as well. o water cannon ended tear gas against the demonstrators, but were unable to prevent them from taking over the printer's office. dozens of people were reported injured in clashes between the protesters and the authorities . union sharma has been following the mass rallies throughout the week.
12:14 am
the goal, but i hope or doesn't do that very much in falls behind me. the secretary did. now there have been an official confirmation that the president has left the country and he's currently in more of these things because she longer will need a new government. why is that? because somebody would have to negotiate with the i am in the international monetary fund to get a good be allowed to beckett's, then she'd uncle would also need a good finance minister. now important to underline, deal that much. the focus also will be on the new government and how they tackle the same set of massive challenges that lead this particular government out. the new government will also inherited massive humanitarian and no i know what challenges. we had a state of emergency to get a job in the country. now the administration is doing it every thing again,
12:15 am
this bossa called several jo, gas jails have been used on the forecast, still remain adamant with my uncle on board. the president has reportedly fled into the maldives on a military jet. meanwhile, the new acting president has announced the creation of a special committee to restore law and order in the country. it includes top officials from the military and the police. local journalist surveyed the resigned leaders abandoned residents. let's take a look. i'm here in front of the president's house in columbus through lanka. as you can see behind me, tens and thousands of people are still eagerly awaiting to walk into the sir presidential palace and to see what is the inside and what sort of a bill. and that was captured by the apprentice. there's on the 9th of july,
12:16 am
and this particular human line is currently managed by the members of the organizations that carried out the huge mass valley. the protest that was unveiled on the 9th of july. but still we see the presence of the security personnel as well providing the necessary security. and this was the official residents of the president bought our bit, our de boxer who volved to step down from his position as the president. there was a meeting among the members of the, your representative bodies that organized the early on the 9th of july and the particular party leaders at the apartment complex, which was organized by the speaker. so the protest, the organizers have refused to take part in the particular meeting, saying that they will have their own action plan for the future road map here in sri lanka. so this is michelle voss reported to you in front of the presidential palace in colombo, sri lanka. the severe economic crisis has plunged the country into chaos as much of
12:17 am
the national debt is owed to western powers. over the past half a century, the international monetary fund has given the nation 16 loans with sri lanka, going through a series of so called economic stabilization programs, despite the huge re payment issues for long as prime minister said that at the $718.00 world economic form that the country would become wealthy within a decade. it's no secret to asia as the economic engine of the future. and in our endeavors to make sri lanka, a rich country by 2025, we aimed to include asia even more and leverage strategic access to emerging markets ranging from india, pakistan, china, japan, and south korea to association of southeast asian nations. independent journalist benjamin norton says, i am f policies for sri lanka have benefited foreign powers, not to the people of that country. the u. s. government as complete domination over both the international monetary fund and the world bank. the u. s. government is
12:18 am
the only member that has veto power over the decisions of the bodies. and we've seen that throughout the global south in particular the i m f in the world bank have been involved in imposing structural adjustment programs. that force countries to cut social spending, privatize their natural resources, and then sell off their assets to western corporations. usually the i m f demands that a country cut, pensions, reduce the minimum wage, basically implement policies that are bad for the people of the country and are good for the interest of foreign corporations. and it's very likely we don't know, of course, what's happening inside the talks between the sri lankan government in the i math. but it's very likely that the i m f was demanding these conditions that were simply unacceptable for any self respecting sovereign government of sri lanka. we look at the history of the i m f. conditionality is that have been imposed on countries like sri lanka. they have been very arduous and they have been very undemocratic
12:19 am
demanding that the country violate its own economic sovereignty in the interests of foreign corporation. so if we can learn anything from history, i think we can conclude that it's very likely that the sri lankan government was unwilling to given to these unreasonable demands for the 17th time. sherlock is, economy has collapsed under the massive weight of foreign depths, culminating in a default this year. now several other countries face historic economic challenges and the possibility that they won't be able to make payments on their sovereign bonds. ortiz, racial blevins reports. days after massive protests sparked by dire economic conditions, led 3 longest president to flee the country. some are now warning, but other developing nations could soon find themselves. 2 in the same position, in fact, the international monetary fund is warning that 19 developing nations are either high risk or currently experiencing debt distress. their warning that those
12:20 am
countries which oh more than $230000000000.00 to foreign bondholders, maybe the next in line to default on their debt. the biggest concerns right now include all, salvador pakistan gonna argentina and ukraine. so it comes as no surprise that those countries are getting special attention from the i am that the organization which has long been accused of signing off on predatory loans for developing nations and i'll talk so she long go last month ended without a deal. the i m s, the managing director says it is looking forward to working with a new government in the near future. we have been reaching out to the biggest creditors to sri lanka to ascertain their commitment to engage so we can have that resolution. it would be better for the creditors to step forward, because then they have a better chance for the country to recover and for them to recoup more of their money. meanwhile, pakistan has been scrambling to make a deal with the i am math, securing an agreement for an additional $1200000000.00 this week. but well,
12:21 am
that may provide some temporary relief. the nation has more than $40000000000.00 in debt payments coming up in just the next 12 months. pakistan is at a challenging economic juncture, a difficult external environment combined with pro cyclical domestic policies, fuel domestic demand, her unsustainable levels. the resultant economic overheating lead to large fiscal and external deficits in the fiscal year, 2022 contributed to rise in inflation and eroded reserve buffers. but not to worry . the i, a map is assuring the world that has everything taken care of even as it continues to offer. 2 loans with no strategy for the developing nations they are working with to ever get out of that debt. we have to rethink how to act more in the direction of supporting countries early preemptively building resilience to these shocks. and that goes beyond the traditional focus of financial sector fiscal policy, as the question of whether the i and that would be willing to forgive all of that.
12:22 am
when it becomes clear that countries are being crushed under the financial load. well, that has yet to happen. some have tried to make the case for ukrainian debt jubilee for years now. but the western organization and as partners in the us in europe have only continued to add to that debt bubble, all in the name of unwavering support. also this week, hundreds of people in the democratic republic of congo took to the streets to denounce the resurgence of a notorious rebel group and 23, which has been fighting against the military. and the countries mineral rich east near the border with rwanda forcing more than 170000 residents to flee their homes . and protesters were seen waving banners with images of russian president vladimir putin pleading for security forces to be sent in. one demonstrator carried a wooden cross suggesting the death of rwanda's, president, congolese officials accuse neighboring rolando supporting the rebel group. the m
12:23 am
$23.00 group is named after a significant cease fire deal clenched more than a decade ago on march 23rd, under the terms of the agreement. the unit was incorporated in the congo is military, but that arrangement unraveled with the rebels accusing the government of not respecting the peace congo was condemned, have condemned them 23. as a terrorist group, we heard from a member of a major political party in the country who says the international community needs to react. the broad enough for conflict deserves attention from the international community because it's about common security and economic issues. now we are astonished where the western world is indifferent to our crisis. but if you check history very well, we have been their colonies. today we can see what they are doing to us completely executing their plan to destroy our territory. our people are still resisting this, but our leaders are being used as their puppets for their own interests. india, a leading gold importer is concerned about rising prices for the coveted commodity
12:24 am
that says western powers have moved to band supplies from major producer russia, sparking fears that global costs could decline even further. india is the world's 2nd largest gold consumer behind china with the commodity used in a multitude of local traditions. prices for gold have risen more than 60 percent in recent years. the european commission on friday outlined its new sanctions package to ban russian gold. just a few weeks after a decision to that effect by the western g 7 countries and that is expected to push up prices for the commodity on a global scale, even affecting countries that do not directly abide by the restrictions. deli based economist akash, jindal, hopes that russia will be able to increase supplies directly to india to keep the prices at a reasonable level board is an international commodity. so the impact would be initially international. then of course, every country would be impacted. the indians are big consumers, of course,
12:25 am
so india would also get infected. what would happen is, with the sanctions since a, she has a big exporter, there would be a reduction in export of boot. so on one hand, there would be some deficiency of food. on the other hand, did is expected to we people who would be more than dusted in buying gold and other than going in for a risk. yes, it's like equal these sanctions, not only impact the country which is supplier, but the consumers also, if debt buying something from a country, they are not we're, we few are to that currently the also want that they're sway their bring that price . so if they're not able to get debt, that means it's going to be negative for them also as, as a for me, this our, i will back in 31 and a half minutes with another philanthropy to stay with us, our international ah,
12:26 am
