east or is occupied east jerusalem and is a very tiny packed place and is in this very tiny pack, please. there are 213000 palestinians that are leaving at the mood among this palestinians is quite task because the next house to be demolished could be a house of one of them. and to day is rarely bulldozers are expected to demolish several of the houses. but palestinians here, across all the roars, we can see that there are several gatherings and they are ready for the competition vessel, said i, with all the latest forest on the ground, unoccupied easter. yes. and we'll have more from there in just a minute that to now thank you very much wrestle who not to go to ben at smithy. he is in ramallah for us than that really quite the timing there for visit financing, thinking the stager under the blanket arrives in the occupied west bank where the situation, the likelihood for peace between the israelis and palestinians is never looked more bleak. violence is steadily rising and with the west, the rest of the will distracted by the war in ukraine. meanwhile, we have $35.00 palestinians killed here just this month. then compensations with israel with israelis and palestinians face this extreme right wing israeli government packed with ministers. eager to prove to that constituents how tough they can be on palestinians. one of those ministers at my bank of a wants to get more gum permits to israelis. he wants to increase settlement construction and he's making like very, very difficult of palestinian prisoners cutting off power. one of the prisons rating cells of female prisoners that's going on at the moment about matters because what happens to prisoners matters on the street on the palestinian street. so with all of that, you can expect the situation here for palestinians to deteriorate until they are totally reliant. i have no leverage the policy, no party really over israel. so the total are aligned on the americans raining in the worst excesses of these rarely governments. so mac mood about might be hoping to hear something about that for months in the blink and how it can at least try and keep a lid on things. the blinking might be asking mahmoud abbas to restore security cooperation with israel out with withdrawal. and last week after the rates in janine i might be asking is the policy needs to stop pursuing? israel will be international. criminal court from the palestinians is very, those are really the only 2 cards they have to play against is right. so let's see how those talk. sco bennet smith, they're following that for us in ramallah. thank you very much, bennett. well, let's now speak how diplomatic get it a james base. he's been following things for us from west treutlen, james, today's discussions and a muller coming off the back of some very closely watched meetings there in israel . yes, absolutely. and i think one thing is all it already very, very clear. the u. s. position has not changed despite the fact we've had high tension recent violence. and despite i think, please you're going to get from the palestinian authority, the us position. even though other members of the un security council would like the us to be much more proactive diplomatically and get back involved, trying to restart negotiations between the 2 sides. there is no appetite. i think that for that, for the bite and ministration and part that's because you hear that. could you blinkin talking as the whole international community does and has done for decades about a 2 state solution. and you now have a file, right? israeli government where the ministers of that government, many of them have come out publicly and said they don't believe in a 2 state solution. so on the central plank of the international communities, peace efforts. there is a total disagreement, even though in public when you see israeli officials meeting secretary blinking. there are all these words of friendship and the lines between the 2 nations i think, is also worth telling you about 2 other things that are going on. not with regard to the palestinians, but with regard to us israeli relations. one is this controversial idea of judicial reform that the new right wing government wants to push in israel. that is, with the backdrop, of course of providence, and that's near whose own legal troubles the new government wants to try and reign in the courts. well, that is something the u. s. doesn't like at all. they believe it's a threat to the rule of law. it israel, and i think even though they're not mentioned that much publicly, there's quite a lot of pushback we suspect in private and the other thing going on in private, it's nothing to do with the conflict here. it's about the conflict in the ukraine. israel is very much on offense because it has good relations or reasoning, good relations with ukraine. it has long, good relations with russia. it doesn't really want to get involved. the u. s. though, would like to see israel more involved on the cranial side. for example, there are some old hawk missiles that's an antique aircraft missile defense system . the us sent to israel, and the 1960 is sitting in storage sitting in warehouses. the u. s. would like that to go to ukraine. a difficult one there for these railey government. the doesn't want to anger russia. very interesting. james, based out of america on the ground in west through some forest. thank you very much, jane. i'm leaving on pakistan as morning. the death of at least 95 people killed in a suicide attack at a mosque and a high security compound in the shower. debris is now being here. as most part to the mosque has collapsed. rescue teams have been retrieving bodies that from the rubble. it happened when a suicide bomber blew himself up during afternoon press. the direct taliban pakistan denied its involvement off the initially claim, the attack that targeted police officers. that's cause now to come all high that he's in, push our come out. we're approaching now what nearly a full day after the bombing. how is the rest, your operation going that? well, as you can see, people are still busy because one person, they're still missing. they're trying to see if they can find the heavy equipment up. god said being taken away because this particular risk, you're in relief, effort did now all war been more of a gabriela, to be frank. after the morning, odd they were working throughout the night, were standing on what was the roof of the marsh volume break drifted metters beams, column beams of the whole building. and it's also very difficult to walk around. but as you can see, paperless still trying to find out if they can account for that missing person. they have been moving chains across the province because the dead bodies of the police men have been taken to the native religion moving scenes. their families have a dead body and i've got a lot of questions that i had to haul their suicide bomber was able to come in tradition. march reports to david about 500 warship bird for the afternoon prayer were bridge. and inside the march, the suicide bomber was all sure inside it was in the front draw. busy of the mark and i did renew detonated there. why? so a lot of questions through how secure area could come under dag and obviously as you can see, people are still searching for that one missing person. and i've got also a lot of questions as far as the people are concerned, because what they're saying is that the local leadership, the politicians, are busy with politics trying to settle. but it is the people who are facing the brand of this new fresh rave of attack commodity on the ground for us in charlotte . thank you so much. come all well for more on this. joining me in our studio here is our correspondent, or some of the events i'm just picking up on what kamala saying there plenty of questions being asked the death told potentially set to continue rising. but this was a really high security areas, so i know an investigation is underway. what is the government thinking at this stage? well, i think from the looks of it in some major security breach in the heart of the provincial capital, in a secure reads on multiple checkpoints. and then even walk through gates at the entrance of that fast and the suicide bomber. or if it was a suicide bomber not a planted bomb, i was able to go in detonate himself amongst all of this crowd of hundreds of policemen. so it's a major security lapse when it comes to that. and you've seen that being indicated by the leadership at various parts in bug, sun b, at the provincial level, on the federal level. a major questions are being asked to how this person could be there. and then, what does it mean for further security in that area? because you, as, as kamala mentioned, that there's been a spike in the tax in the last few months and years. and that the he could tell about pakistan which says it's not in world has been attacking security service, has been belittle, or police personnel, or military. you talked there about the terry kit taliban pakistan. i want to ask you about their seemingly confusing came at responsibility, and someone said they did do it. and then they've said that they hadn't. can you give us some clarity on, on what's going on whether they're eager taliban pakistan is an amalgamation of various groups. there's the more money group, or there's the bizarre group there is the, has been, has will as up his will are, are there eagle are. so there's multiple groups within that. there you can fall upon pakistan, one faction claim responsibility. and it is very interesting that it was a few hours before the central leadership or the center command of the vedic a thought about focused on distance itself. this was coming after everyone including that of con thigh. lamont condemned the attack or the the there. now realize that this is an attack which is not going to win them any popularity up. so is it because it's attacked? retreat from that claim where the actually involved could this be a fraction which is not listening to the central leadership of the $30.00 bond. but there are lots of questions in here within that claim. because as you see, the da da da, where these hard lane groups work for them, unity of power and unity and their message is really important and by the looks of it. this is one thing where the ttp seems to be at odds with itself. so potentially instability in the group, but also instability in pakistan itself. the country has been having a really rough time of things, the crippling act with an economic crisis that we've been covering here. and now this, what you have to remember this is an election year. so everything including securities up for politics and this is exactly what is happening in pakistan as well. there is a certain division of power and how the country works. this is there, the provincial police force which is responsible for securing major events and major security installations, including highly sensitive positions as well. and then there's a federal government. so there's a lot of blame game that is going on and doing the rounds and who is responsible? was it this government of the previous government? is the provincial government? what should the federal government do more? so you will see a lot more of that happening and it's, it seems that pakistan has found itself in a perfect storm of sorts where it's going to the i m f. unless the money from the m f comes through, there's going to be a major, a balance of payments crisis. so it's election year. the economy is going down the drain, and then on top of that, you've got these hardline fractions off the tyler bond. would you been emboldened by the afghan balaban taking over across the border? we're seeing that they're continuing to attack pakistan and speak and challenging times. indeed as jonathan j. that thanks so much for joining us here on that. and thanks for sharing or expertise with us. well, there is still plenty more ahead. this news our including not so gloomy, the international monetary fund raisers. it's a global economic outlet for the 1st time. any. yeah. and in sports, australia's new rugby coach sets himself a big target for the year ahead. santa will be here with that is doing ah, 3 emergency medical responders have been fired in the u. s. city of memphis. following the death of an unarmed black man at the hands of police are wanting that you may find some of the images here, disturbing. they've been accused of failing to conduct a proper medical assessment and of not providing adequate patient care to terry nichols. 5 officers have already been dismissed for beating him during a traffic stop. the 29 year old that died 3 days later from his injuries. while the 5 officers who beat the young black man, terry nichols are also black, the actions are raising questions about race and policing. cable others on their reports now from memphis. tyree nicholas a young black man beaten so badly by police. he died from his injuries. the 5 memphis officers were fired and faced criminal charges for the beating all share something in common with nickels, skin color, and that has not been lost on people here. how do you feel the fact it all 5 officers were black? do you have any thoughts on that or no, i have a lot of thoughts on had the sydney, it's for it to be our own and i'm going to speak on my behalf of my community for it to be our own black brother brothers out there doing it to another black brother, actually the shots are hard because we preach every day that black lives matter and you know that the white man is the problem behind this, a net, but for it to be our own people doing this to another black brother is more devastating than ever historically in the united states, the job of being a police officer was reserved for white men. but the last 10 to 15 years or so, there's been a push to change that. the thinking goes like this. hiring more black police officers, primarily in cities with large black populations, would help diversify the force and bring down cases a police brutality. memphis, perhaps, proving that theory was all wrong. the city of memphis is about 65 percent black, and about half the police force are african american officers. one important lesson to draw from this is to not be naive and for believe credit, we simply put black people in the positions of power. but we don't change anything else that things are going to get there. and that will not work well. some analysts say the issue is not skin color, but systematic problems with policing, they go beyond memphis. the problem is the sort of been black culture in general, right? this idea that the police believe that they stand between order and disorder in they are, you note sort of operating in u. s. society to protect order. but really what that is meant is they're operating to protect those who have wealth. they operate to protect private property and they operate to police to folks whom they might see as threats to that. as for the family of tyrene, nichols, they just want justice regardless of the skin color of those accused. gabriel is hondo al jazeera memphis. now the u. s. is hoping to buy up to a $100000.00 artillery shells from south korea, so it can give them to ukraine. u. s. defense secretary lloyd austin is in sullivan talks. some estimates suggest the new kinds all me is using michelle's at twice the rate that the u. s. and you can produce them. south korea has a policy of not selling weapons to countries that are at war from mcbride has more now for us from. so the global search for $155.00 millimeter shells for ukraine's guns has now turned to south korea, which doesn't want to antagonize russia because of its influence over north korea. right now ukraine is getting through about $90000.00 shells per month. that's double the rate of which they're being produced by both the us and europe combined . the u. s. has reserves here, and it's buying more than 100000 shells from south korea to replenish stocks, being sent to ukraine. that way soul can help its western allies without contributing directly to the war effort. now, the international monetary fund says the world economy is in a better state than it was in october. its latest update revises the global economic growth full cost for this year. slightly up to 2.9 percent. the m f says the increase is due to unexcited spending and the u. s. and europe, the reopening of china's economy and low energy costs. it also says that inflation will likely start to decline in about 84 percent of nations as high interest rates . take effect news that it's poor, encouraging, but there are still risks. the i m. s. has wanted the chinese recovery could stall if there's another major craven, 1900 outbreak. our porters have the view of the m f outlook from both china and india. his katrina, you fest from basing i muscles china will be a major driver of global growth. 50th of 10th up to mon, off the 3 years of strict cars in 1900 locked down. we've already seen a balance in the chinese economy. during the new year period, there was an increase in consumption by 12.2 percent compared to the same period last year. but economists say we're not likely to see the same inflation that we have seen in other major economy. one reason is that while chinese households have been saving big household income has also taken a significant hit due to repeated lockdown. this as well as fears of possible future causes waves means p warranties. so click to enter, that bank accounts, especially on big ticket items. also affecting consumer confidence is china's ailing property sector. while the government is raising to ease the real estate slumped, recovery will take time. chinese state planet meanwhile says it's been working to stabilize the prices of every day. goods such as grain and vegetables, though the cost of some items including pork and fruits has been rising. the i net predicts that china will hit a gdp of 5.2 percent for 2023. and while that may be good news for many here, experts say that rapid growth in china could lead to a spike in global prices. the food and energy india is a bright spot at a time of global economic slowdown. those are projections from the international monetary fund. it rejects in economy will grow at about 6 point one percent. now why that is lower than last year? it is expecting the indian economy to rebound in 2024. now interfaces various global challenges like the ongoing war in ukraine and high inflation. domestically . unemployment is the biggest concern. the only one in 12 indians is out of work. the finance minister will be announcing the budget on wednesday, and economists hope it will prioritize increasing wages, grading jobs and reducing inequality at a time of great global uncertainty. well let's bring in eric cheney. he's an economic advisor to the institute montana. think tank dedicated to public policy in france in europe. he was also a chief economist for europe at morgan standing. he joins us now from paris. eric, so this is obviously an economic global, good news story, but it's not quite the same everywhere, right? this is largely been driven by china and while the prospects for europe seemed better than expected, there's still some uncertainty. yes, that's absolutely right. the big swing factor which justifies this oakwood revisions by the i m f, is the reopening of china. but also, ah, the decline in energy prices or oil and gas. and that explains why the a mouth is becoming a bit more optimistic for 2 important countries in europe, germany and italy, which were supposed to experience a recession, but which are now supposed to skirt the research and by of to 10th of percentage, thanks to stronger global trade and lower energy prices. and eric, i recall just a month ago the i'm f for saying what half of europe would be in recession this year. that was obviously based on the october forecast. i believe. now you say that a lot has changed because of what's happened to energy prices, but presumably that will be the same across the continent. yes, you're right. are the main revisions by the i m f r. indeed, on these 2 countries, germany and italy where they were supposed to be in deep recession. and now the aim of his expecting these countries to grow just slightly above 0. ok. so for germany and what is important for germany is important for europe, because germany is the largest economy in europe for germany. the main good piece of news is the reopening of china. because germany of the exports are germany, exports a lot to china. well, if the chinese economy starts importing again, that is good news for germany. so that explains why the prospects for germany are better than expected. now, for other countries such as france, for instance, the m f as not changed it's forecast, is going to be very sluggish. growth helped by government subsidies, but in the context which remains very difficult. of course we know that reserve banks are also set to continue increasing interest rates to try to deal with inflation. could that put a dollar on things? do you think? well, you know, the job of central banks is not to stimulate growth. the job of the central bank is to make sure that inflation will settle down in the medium long term. so the european central bank does not have the choice. they have to continue to raise rates, which are still much below inflation right now. so if the c b does not continue to raise rates, europe will continue to have high inflation in the median long term. is it negative for growth? may be slightly, although i would say that labor market type in most of europe and or so, governments are spending a lot of money to support consumers and companies. so on balance between the central bank which has to tighten and the governments which are spending money, i think that the net result is positive. interesting times ahead. eric cheney, they're an economic advisor to the institute, montana. thank you for sharing your thoughts with us, announces eric, thanks for joining my pleasure. stella had here on out a 0. we look at the impact that the military coups and, and suing violence has had on the children miano and, and sport host nation, algeria targeting a place to the final of the african nations templeton. ah, hello there. we've got a deep area of low pressure bringing very nasty weather to the north of europe. we're talking when she wet and very strong winds to iceland as well as britain, an island pushing across into scandinavia. and we are going to see those wintry conditions. ajay way, further east, over the next few days, is looking more 2nd western areas of the mediterranean. when can be felt here, worst of that weather has been pushed for the east. so on tuesday for scotland we have got warnings out of those gale force winds. we're talking 60 to 70 kilometers per hour. they'll also affect very north of the island of island and edge in to denmark, as well as germany read warnings out here you can see it gets wetter and more wintry not just for germany as well as poland and the czech republic. and those wintery waves continue to work their way for the east. now it is feeling a lot cooler here and a happy feeling cooler for the southwest. the spain and portugal temperature. however, starting to pick up for madrid, tuesday into wednesday, lots of sunshine to be found still a little bit cooler for portugal. mo, settled across the mediterranean, just as blustery winds being felt. those winds gonna blow does not conditions out of the balkans and grease into takia. so they'll be suns
