this is aside from additional things, the central government is cutting jobs 5%. the biggest percentage of cuts we have seen since the late 1990's. and we just heard there may be some pretty significant salary reductions across key central government regulatory agencies. maybe that speaks to xi jinping's promise for common prosperity, that idea of wealth distribution. a lot that is going on here. dani: a lot in the context of a very volatile geopolitical environment. jill, thank you very much. though it has been a wild 24 hours, let's look at things we're watching from before. 10:00 a.m. u.k. time, the ecb president will be speaking at an international women's day event at the wto. 1:00 p.m., u.s. adp, employment reports and mortgage applications data, ahead of nonfarm payrolls. and they will be certainly followed by a closely watched fed chair jerome powell. it will be a second day of testimony on the hill. 3:00 p.m. u.k. time, bank of canada's rate decision is due. they have been talking about pausing, will the town change? powell's hawkish tilt. we dive deeper

citizens of ukraine in order to make our state even stronger, the state at all levels from our central government structures to the management of ukrainian communities and before we start our meeting, if we are honest we know this year took away many jews, many lives of different people, our soldiers, civilians who became soldiers because of this war, that's how it is and it's the truth, everyone in their place and among them are 25 representatives of local self-government, heads of our community, just community workers, deputies of local councils. i would like to we have now honored their memory a moment of silence just sit down ladies and gentlemen dear attendees the agenda of the meeting speaks for itself it seems to me that our priorities for today security defense issues social the protection of our people and the restoration of state and local institutions in the acquired territory, reconstruction in the liberated areas, we will discuss the most difficult issue separately. a month ago , it was the most difficult issue. the decisions needed to protect the energy industry must be presented to

dnipropetrovsk region in kyiv, repair crews in zaporizhzhia energy workers, local government, central government, everyone will work as long as necessary to restore energy supply to cities and regions where there are currently problems have already shown what ukraine is capable of and no matter how much russia does mean things, our state and people will still not be in shackles. neither rockets nor russian atrocities will help in this. so , last day, russia launched another massive attack on ukraine, a total of 81 missiles of various bases were fired including the s-300, the enemy used six dagger hypersonic missiles for the first time. and the same number of x-22, our defenders of the sky managed to destroy 34 missiles. another eight did not reach their targets, and the occupiers launched 12 airstrikes , in particular, they used eight shahed half of which were shot down, in addition, according to the hans- from mortars and artillery, the archists shelled the populated areas of chernihiv, sumy, kharkiv regions, they hit kherson in the kupyan and liman directions , the enemy is trying to break thr

new government report, criminal coach and highlighted some very strong commitments from the central government to boost domestic consumption to boost. it can almost metalli and it also says it's new gdp target this year. so i think all eyes are on china on to see how china is going to boost if they can all make it economy to further, you know, revitalized economy. so i think it's definitely going to be a top priority, but also i think like other topics like green economy, green development in like science and technology development are also i'm on the top agenda, the central government under present. she's gotten now of course, one of the president sheets closest friends is that all the russian president vladimir putin. we know the fusion, contacted the chinese president very early earlier today wishing him good luck and much praise and looking forward to further cooperation between china and russia. but don't you know, right now the world experiencing enormous change at the moment, and you're seeing all sorts of strategic partnerships happening in many different parts of the world and. and th

towards local governments or communal issues, but you never discuss at least not in public, the central government and asking people about the opinion about a seating thing is basically the the most sensitive question that you can ask when, even when i'm with friends, usually when we are in public places, we don't even, you know, speak out the full name. yeah. i mean, chinese citizens often feel uncomfortable. so if you ask them what they think about sitting thing you will never ever receive or critical answer, only free among yet in a very private setting. so i can only guess it from anecdotal evidence. and i would say that his popularity was quite high at the beginning, but especially after the recovered and after also the recent slow down of the economy, his approval rate would go down. but to really give you a comprehensive, a picture of this it's, it's really very hard for the set reasons. fabi and there's a lot of talk about how this mans she's hold on power. but what will actually mean in practice? yeah, i mean he will continue his way and i mean his policy is actually very consistent. i wo

direct private control from the communist party instead of going through the organs of the central government that means of the ground, we will have to need to wait until that is announced. dani: that's bloomberg's james maker. let's continue with the china theme. the biden administration nearing completion of an executive order that would restrict investments by u.s. companies in parts of the chinese economy. enda curran joins us in hong kong on this. walk us through the details of what we know. >> this would be an executive order. some reports that the administration is looking for funding from congress to get this through. they will target u.s. investment in sensitive national security related areas, maybe u.s. investment in ai-driven companies or the code breaking technology space in china. this is all about a continuation of a theme of the u.s. administration cracking down on transfer of funding to areas that create dual use technology, both civilian and military. and cracking down on money flows going to national security-sensitive parts of china's manufacturing chain. as the latest exa

why is it limited only to central government departments? fic risk of government devices, can he go a little further on this, mr deputy speaker? what exactly is the specific risk and why does it apply only to official devices in central government? and the chancellor tell us what advice has been issued to other ministers including those already actively using tiktok. what criteria will be used for the worst of preapproval apps he has a narrative today which will be included and which will not, and on what grounds? today's announcement feels that closing the stable door after the horse has bolted. if the minister was serious about overhauling security at the heart of government, why was this review limited only to the use of third—party apps on government devices? why not a root and branch review of technology used by his colleagues? the reality is, this government's track record on upholding security at the heart of government is appalling. from their chronic use of private e—mails to the former foreign secretary's phones being hacked and can

of course not, this is the prerogative of the central government.i said, it is unlikely that such a decision will be made in the context of how times the economy. yes, i mean indonesian, in your opinion. to what extent jakarta is interested in returning direct flights between our countries. of course, there is such an interest, if you take statistics, then according to the data of the national statistical agency of indonesia, there are about 300,000 tourists. uh, is currently at the base of them. well, probably a little less than 10% are russians. naturally , there is a great interest in having russians come to bali, especially since our tourists come enough long time. eh, and as you know they spend enough. uh, a lot of money, such negotiations are conducted under sanctions, of course, uh, that's it. not just, but there is an application from the side of russian airlines. uh, this is not a question of tomorrow, but there is hope that in the future, as it was, by the way, before covid , direct flights were carried out, and also, by the way, about san

development ah, in like science and technology development are also mama onto the top of jen, of the central government under present. she's gotten talking about china, russia, ties and made is sweeping western sanctions imposed on russia. china has actually relatively accurate exports of energy products, including like natural gas oil and coal, to china as well as it's agricultural products. and also, as we know that in 2019 china and russia jointly set the goal of their ballot or trade reaching $200000000000.00 us dollars by 2024. so a lot to expect. of course, at the same time, china is also using, you know, increasingly strong are rhetoric when it comes to china, us relations, you know, it's, it's worth noting that the foreign minister jean gall directly warned designer us relations are in a very difficult situation during the pressure of a few days ago and says firmly that if the religions keep going down in his path and that the u. s. doesn't hit the breaks, there would definitely be quick confrontation and conflict. and that vision would nod, remain silent if the u. s. landlord or attack could s

we are seeing governments and central banks and regulators are coming together to put forward a shownd make difficult decisions which is what happened with credit suisse to make sure the system is sound. there is some disagreement as to how it has been handled in terms of the treatment of some bondholders in credit suisse, nonetheless it is all about shoring up confidence and showing authorities have the situation under control and trying to stop it spreading. there is no direct link between the issues of small us regional banks and the problems at credit suisse but it goes to show when markets get nervous especially when interest rates have been rising quickly, people are looking for cracks and vulnerability and that is what took down credit suisse when its biggest shareholder said we will not stump up any more cash to smooth over your problems so this is a nervous market environment and it is worth treading carefully. as we heard earlier, exactly 20 years ago today, us forces, with the uk and other allies, invaded iraq in order to oust the dictator saddam hussein. it was part of th
