Against israel, despite allies pleads for de escalation. How critical a moment is this in an already chaotic world . The white house has described irans attack on israel over the weekend as a spectacular and embarrassing failure. Nearly all of the more than 300 missiles and drones fired by iran and its allies in the region were shot down. The us also says iran did not issue warnings to the white house about its timeframe for launching an attack. Tonight, israels Military Chief again said irans actions will be met with a response. Here, the Prime Minister told mps he is working urgently with the uks allies to de escalate tensions in the middle east, to prevent further bloodshed. In a moment, well have the latest from jerusalem and our International Editorjeremy bowen will be here. But first, lets go live to westminster and to our deputy political editor, vicki young. And we heard more from rishi sunak about the raf s role in defending israel . Thats right. After those dramatic scenes on
happening in america. there s an extremist movement that does not share the believes of our kralgs. all of us are being asked right now, what will we to to maintain our democracy? history is watching. the world is watching. most important, our children and grandchildren will hold us responsible. i think what i come back to is you talked to democrat who is have a million ideas of what biden and his team should be talking about right now. and often times it s not democracy. it s about economic issues, what you re doing to stem inflation, and biden always comes back here and i wonder if that s because hes thinks they were wrong the first 15 times or there s something else he s seeing. there s an element here that the biden campaign believed in 2020 and then they believed again in 2022 in the midterm elections that it was not going to colt down to questions of the economy. yes, people are concerned about
and how that s going to affect the economy going forward and inflation. yeah i want to ask you, economist. i m sure you saw these remarks economist mohamed larry and he thinks a pause would be a mistake, and here s his reasoning for this, in part , he says, i think the fed is going to have to decide between two policy mistakes, hit the brakes too hard and risk a recession or tap the brakes and a stop, go pattern and risk having inflation well into 2023 . he fears the result of a pause now will be stagflation. what do you think of that risk? i think that s a lower risk than mohammed does. and i m a great friend of muhammad ali aaron and think very highly of him. but on this point, i disagree because i do think the tightening that s already in the pipeline is going to be enough to also make it no longer conflict between financial stability and inflation. that what we re talking about is already a tighter credit market that will stem inflation. i think what the feds concerned about is the
going to somehow stem inflation, he s not going to do that until he can bring down the price of oil and gas which means we need to pump more leer in america. and we see him doing more to incentivize venezuelan oil rather than american clean energy. so he s doubling down on very bad policies that are impacting families here incredibly every single day. so in south dakota we grow a lot of the world s good. we just do. we period people. and when you we feed people. when you drive up fuel costs, that is impacting farmers and how they take care of their families but how they get your food to the processers that put it on the grocery store shelves. and a lot of that is just passed on. and remember, a lot of these farmers, they don t have a lot of money in the bank to put the seed, the fertilizer and the chemical in the ground, they re borrowing that from the bank. they re going out and getting operating notes at higher interest rates because of joe biden and borrowing it and putting it i
