that's according to the o, e c d, in its latest figures. now some even fear the u. k. will slip into a recession, high fuel and food prices as we just saw, there are 2 culprits of the slowing growth. the inflation rate rose to 9 point one percent in the u. k. in may. that's the highest rate in 40 years. the central bank expects it to hit double digits within a few months. or i solomon feler is an economist, that baron beg bank. he joins me for more. the u. k. expected to see this incredibly slow growth, a slow growth of developing countries. why is that? so even the numbers that you cited now, maybe a bit optimistic. we think that the u. k. may already be in a recession, actually say one reason for that is why it's maybe starting a bit early and u. k is also the different pattern of coming out of the pandemic. so in your zone, you have still a little bit of a reopening momentum that dampens the impact of the russian energy crisis. now, but in the end, it will be a phenomenon that you can see of the be able to see throughout europe as gas supplies are curtailed. so it's

and i have to say very disappointed to hear brand shops who i consider to be the worst transport secretary the u. k. has had to certainly, since i've been dealing with the airlines and the government in the u. k for over 20 years now, it's important that politicians learn from what it is they did well. and in this case, you know, many of the decisions weren't taken very smartly, and we learned from what they got wrong. so we don't repeat these mistakes in the future, and we don't incur the damage that the industry has gone through, or the disruption, the people that faced their lives and their livelihood as a result of political decisions. well, another issue of course, affecting the aviation and travel is the russian invasion of ukraine. it's obviously affected jet and oil prices. and that added cost, as you know, is being passed on to passengers. airline prices up about 25 percent outpacing inflation or airline trying to combat this in any way, or they simply pushing on the cost onto the consumer. yet sure preferable. i see no option but for lance dependency on fuel is the single biggest cost ele
