One day general strike across brazil seems to have a very heavy impact here in sao paolo on in cities across the country we were told earlier this morning and noticed that many of the metro stations were closed schools are not operating back to an old operating petrol workers across the country i said to have been on strike the roads were blocked all of this to try to get the message through to parts of the bible sort out all until the government that they do not accept the paid tribute will say he has proposed paid for me forms that he says are necessary to try to save money and to get the still sailing of the beat back on dry the people here the trade unions say they want to be able to retire with dignity at the age and they were from a start when they started paying into debt and. They all say that it would change the fundamental structure of brazilian working life and they said this is the demonstration which is only just begun in the middle of may about a 1000000 people demonstrating against cuts to the pension budget across brazil they followed that up with another demonstration a few days later but this rate dictates the feeling across the country which on this evidence seems to be fairly strong they say its only likely to grow as the picture before comes close down more on breaking news story this hour Iraqi Security forces saying that rockets have been fired towards baghdad near the u. S. Embassy for more we can speak to hama jam jane he joins us over the phone for all of baghdad and hama do we know if any of the rockets landed at close to the embassy itself. Well and theres a statement that said been posted on facebook by Iraqi Security forces the 1st thing to mention is that there have been no losses casualties of the details of the so far are that their work if you show rockets fired towards djibouti a district thats in the center of the dad which is close to the u.

S. Embassy at that point we learned that the u. S. Embassy had found it their alarm for their personnel but we also found out that nobody was injured in that attack course nobody claimed responsibility for that theres been a lot of speculation as to why and behind it some people positing the theory that perhaps it was iranian proxies here in iraq because of the mounting tensions between the u. S. And iran but again no confirmation as to who that was and at this point nobody claiming responsibility for these attacks might this coming of course at a time of mounting tension between the u. S. And iran a time when iraq has been urging caution when iraq has been trying to play it will indeed be escalating these tensions just in the past few days you had the foreign minister of oman oman of course also playing a role in trying to deescalate tensions between the u.

We learned during the visit the iraqi Prime Minister the iraqs foreign minister other officials here all saying that this is harm a great tension but they are doing all they can to try to make sure that things dont get any worse very or indeed the timing is significant and well continue to report on this story as the details become care about for now Mohammed John jim in baghdad thank you very much all here in u.

This is over these and you should. Talk to aljazeera. Im Richelle Carey this is counting the cost on aljazeera weekly look at the world of business and economics this week no longer the Fastest Growing big economy where did it all go wrong for modi so soon after his landslide election victory and no longer the worlds garbage cam how china disrupted the multi 1000000000. 00 global waste industry. Im john hendren in portland where theyre building skyscrapers out of wood ill tell you why coming up. The honeymoon from the ranger modis landslide victory was short lived reality struck as the economy lost its title as the worlds Fastest Growing large economy and truth the economy was rushing to the carpet as modi concentrated on Security Issues modi had carefully crafted his image around his track record in the Economic Development of his native state of gujarat he promised to repeat that performance nationwide the economy expanded just 5. 8 percent putting it firmly behind chinas growth of 6. 4 percent 3rd biggest economy managed to grow 6. 8 percent in the full fiscal year ending march 31st its slowest growth since 2014 and thats a problem because india needs to create 10000000 new jobs a year to keep up with the 1000000 young people entering the workforce every month of the trouble is that not even the former economic adviser believes the countrys economic numbers now modi has appointed the countrys 1st female finance minister since interior gandhi to tackle the challenges ramallah said the raman has a masters degree in economics and also served as a junior finance and commerce minister in modis 1st term and it needs sustained growth of 10 percent a year term 2 of the Living Standards of its 1200000000 people its the kind of growth that has propelled china to become the 2nd largest economy and help create much needed manufacturing jobs. So misfiring economy missteps and many challenges ahead for modis government. Takes a look at the real cost to everyday people. The heat module is a young graduate hes among 1000000. 00 young people who join the job market every month but hes been jobless for the last 6 months he had a temporary job with a Money Lending company but now he lives with his brothers and is a pendant on his family for everything he is desperate and says he needs a job. Its difficult to get a job now the competition is very huge and there are a lot of people who are graduates but are unemployed for one single position there are many people waiting in the queue for the same job if there are 10 jobs there would be at least 1000000 job applications im trying to Contact People through people who i know for a job i asked them if there is an interview if theres anything where i can apply but no response till now critics claim that president policies have failed to generate enough jobs for millions of young people the make in India Initiative which was to transform india into a manufacturing hub has also been a failure despite advice from the central bank modi pushed ahead with plans to withdraw all High Denomination Bank Notes from circulation it was a move aimed at curbing corruption but was a shock to the economy. These Small Businesses were the worst hit by modiste monitise asia in 2016 ram chander had a Small Business used to be a traditional weaver in mali region of dash but because of industrialisation he sold his hand loom and came to delhi yeah i want to put america on a business of selling doormats it used to be a good profitable business for me but these days my business is gone bust and now im even struggling to make ends meet at home the demonetize ation and 2016 room before that my business used to run well but after the monetize ation i lost all my money despite past failures modi has a majority to push through much needed changes to the economy failure to deliver jobs will damage his image as an economic miracle worker for counting the cost cuts. Lets discuss some of those challenges modi faces for that lets turn to share on talia hes a professor at the gentle school of International Affairs in india that this week he joins us from dallas in lebanon we appreciate your time very much so to make any type of meaningful dent and unemployment economists say that n. D. S. Economy needs to grow at about 10 percent it doesnt seem that the country is even close to 10 percent how would you characterize where the country stands on that well yeah i mean growth has slowed down lately and one of the reasons for that of course is that the manufacturing has not taken off and manufacturing was mr moore these big agenda in his 1st term from 2014 to only to those 19 call it make in india and that was supposed to have delivered millions of jobs so it has not really progressed as much as expected so in the 2nd dont theres a lot of hope engine on this making India Project which should generate you know semi skilled and low skilled employment and of course rev up the growth rate so and besides manufacturing i think theyre looking at other monetary stimulus and reforms large scale Structural Reforms that can speed up the growth rate the last quarter growth rate was the lowest in a long time so i think theyre now looking to juice up the economy and to get it you know galloping as much as they can so you talked about modis 1st term during his 1st term he promised that he would deliver 10000000. 00 jobs hes clearly fallen short of that do you think that this 2nd term for some people is about giving him more time were or is that people dont understand the sense of urgency about getting as numbers up now i think see if there is always you know a demographic bulge in india needs to leave very young and lot of people coming into the labor market and not finding having the skills and finding the appropriate you know job opportunity. Yes the onus is on the government and mr modi knows that people voted for him this time overwhelmingly in the hope of the positive expectation that the things will only get better and in that sense you know there is a huge responsibility on his shoulders and years now named the new finance minister nicolas either a man whos quite capable and i think the Price Inflation if you see is quite stable so over the last 2 years so they have room for you know monetary stimulus and for reforms now because the political stability and price stability cushions through which mr modi can you know try and you know is reengineered the Indian Economy on a high growth trajectory you talked about the new finance minister in fact shes the 1st female finance minister sense and theyre gonna tell us more about what you think about what you know about her numeracy that on one used to be Commerce Ministry under mr minister under mr modi dealing mainly with our trade relations with other countries the w. T. R. Negotiations and all those things and she has a background in economics so i think that will help really shes also looked for international consultancies she understands the Financial Markets very well and of course she has good relations with the Indian Business houses and the National Local capitalists so i think she will be looking at you know balancing all these interests and also of course the farming and the working class all of these are important for political reasons for mr moore the and mr rahman so overall i think shes a good pick and she makes some tough choices and she stands by them so shes in fact the 1st full time female finance minister Indira Gandhi you know was was Prime Minister and simultaneously finance minister but again that sense of history maker and we expect in policy isnt some historic changes including more reforms to land. And labor regulations which will really really take us to the next level in terms of growth and Employment Generation to end it has cut the Interest Rate to its lowest level in 9 years how do you think that might stimulate the economy consumption as well as credit and investment all these 3 depend on the Interest Rates as we know so they are using the cane easier in all macroeconomic leavers of trying to use up the economy with. Lower Interest Rates so that theres more borrowing and more Economic Activity and in fact the slowdown of the last quarter was related to. Dip in the consumption and domestic consumption is the bulk of indias g. D. P. And its growth so i think theyre out on the right track and because those said the inflation is under control they can manage to reduce the Interest Rates even further if required in the coming so unlike other Major Economies over the last 10 years india has not used Monetary Policy much to stimulate the economy because it was going great its only now you know that theres a slowdown so i think they can now afford to. Do what this tool a little bit they are telling you talking about a slowdown leigh been talking a lot about numbers that the bottom line is a lot of people dont necessarily trust these numbers where do you bolster the trust for these numbers that matter so much there was a revision done are doing this to more this was tom and there recalculated the baseline on which the g. D. P. Figures had been. Constant for the last several years and they added some Percentage Points so you know its debatable i mean some people say its actually 5 and not 7 percent of the actual growth rate but so is the case the china and many other you know rising emerging powers they have you know a little bit dodgy figures but i think the. The flying if you look at the world bank and the International Rating agencies i think our outlook has been improving under mr modi so they will take solace from that and definitely statistically and in terms of a calm and in terms of documenting everything india is largely informal economy and almost people are off the books and off the records and mr modi have been trying Digital Economy to what it ripping on record so that. It can only get to woodys accounted for an added up in the old g. D. P. Calculation so i think statistically we should be Getting Better and more accurate over time ok lets hope so thats quite an undertaking dr surround thank you very much for your time appreciate it my pleasure. After 25 years of importing the worlds waste china through the Global Recycling industry into chaos it refused to buy Plastic Waste rich nations have gotten used to exporting the rubbish to asia where labor is cheap and Environmental Standards were not enforced or were nonexistent matters came to a head when many asian nations couldnt pick up the slack from chinas refusal to take in waste just trying to get their head around the numbers that is challenging but the impact for the environment and our planet is disastrous theres a lot of money involved the Global Market for Waste Recycling is worth 300000000000. 00 thats according to consultants from frost and sullivan Plastics Recycling alone is estimated to account for 37600000000. 20 between 1950 to 2078 point 3000000000 metric tons of plastic has been produced so lets put that in context thats a quibble and 25000. 00 empire state buildings or thats enough to cover the entire country of argentina were still 3 quarters of all plastic produces now and landfills or in the ocean only 9 percent gets recycled and 12 percent isnt center rated over 25 years china imported 106000000. 00 metric tons or 45 percent of all Plastic Waste and china will only buy Plastic Waste that is 99. 9 percent pure in other words resign
