the ports of parties during locked on the international monetary fund cut since drove full costs for the global economy this year. it's blaming the alma chrome very at higher energy prices and inflation. and i'm he to similar to the sport ref, elm adult winds, a 5 say sir, you're straight in, open to beat dennis shop obama to reach the semi finals and radar cool screw 21st grand slam title. ah, i'm going to begin with the growing international condemnation of the military coup in burkina faso and calls for the deposed president's immediate release. most cowboy, they said to have resigned under threat and intimidation from the military. according to west africa, as regional block eco was crimes had been gathering in the capital, lahardo goes to show their support for the military. the soldier behind the cou say they took power because the government failed to contain on groups that have killed thousands of times. you know, we are saying no to sanction the army took office to sort things out in kena paso. that's what we care about. eco often stay where you are. you are then i resigned to join people who are fighting and indeed the fight was launched in officers, especially the young, responsible officers have taken power of time has proven us. all right, man is joining us now by phone from the capital one to do some. just give us an idea if you can, 1st of all, how much public support there actually is. for this military action. there's been a lot of public support as of yesterday when they made the announcement today, there were several 100 potential up to a 1000 people gathering downtown in the square carrying, champing, supporting the military. so there's a lot of support right now for, for the military. and then people are aware that there's also potential sanction coming from the regional block. and they, they say down with ac was the region what they, they're not to need to care right now. they think that the military take over is worth whatever that they might have to face down the line. yeah, they, the soldiers, as we mentioned before, was behind the crew, said that they did it because basically they, they took part because the government failed to contain armed groups that have killed thousands. but that are going to be questions on there about what has actually changed with the situation. because the army, the military was saying that it needed more support and needed more medical supplies. but nothing else seems to have happened. yes, i mean there's a lot of questions about how and what is going to change now that the military is taken over and is the people that have spoken to who are part of the q say that is going to be more of a focus on the military on getting them equipment on training on putting younger people at the head who know what it's like out there in the field to have been colleagues have died. they're very frustrated. they're a great the government handling of the situation so far and say that they think that they can put together a better mil military strategy. and some is there any indication of who's actually running the country at the moment? according to military yesterday there. a was running the country and there was a man who signed and signed the communique name is henry and he is in charge. a right now he's a young man, he's about in his forty's, he was recently i given a promotion, ironically by president cowboy. and so, and people who know him say that he's always. a been there like him, so he seems to be at the head of this military hotel. the taken over as of yesterday evening, sometimes very much some talking to us from walking to the rush, as long as the military drills near ukraine and in antics crimea. moscow blames the us for increasing tensions in the region after putting its forces in europe on high alert, rushes to build up around ukraine has prompted fears of an invasion. on tuesday, britain, this prime minister, called and european allies to be ready to deploy sanctions if diplomacy fails. on the 13th of december, i spoke to president putin and i stressed that nato had no thought of encircling or otherwise threatening his country. and that russia enjoyed as much right as any other state to live in peace and security. but as i said to him, russia, ukraine also enjoys an equal and symmetrical right to that russia. and i said, any attack on his neighbor would be followed by tougher sanctions against russia. further steps to help you crane defend herself by an increased may to presses, to protect our allies on nato's eastern play. on the voc has standing by in london for more on the british prime minister statement. first let's go to a white house correspondent kimberly hawk at. kimberly, i understand that by the ministrations been talking to journalists about what kind of actions it might take if russia invaded ukraine. what have they been saying that we've been hearing for weeks now that the u. s. administration is prepared to put in place punishing financial sanctions. should vladimir putin decide to invade ukraine? now we're getting a better idea of what those might look like. u. s. officials telling reporters that some of the sanctions would be in the form of export controls on u. s. goods to russia. that what this would do is prohibit the sale of certain goods in the sectors of aerospace as well as artificial intelligence in order to try and cripple some of the industries that russia depends on. so this is just one sector that would be targeted. another area that would be targeted is that there is this fear that russia should invade, would target energy sectors for europe. and that could pose a particularly difficult scenario for european nations. in fact, we know that there are some nations that express reticence for joining the us. sort of the partnership of the united states in terms of any sort of pushback against russia. and as a result, there were some divisions. now the president saying that there is sort of unity in pushing back against what it calls russian aggression. but this was the reason behind some of those fractures and friction, is the fact that there was this fear of the cold winter had. so to mitigate that, the, by the administration now exploring alternate energy sources. one of those countries, this being bandied about as a possible nation that could supply in the oil and gas sector is cut are among others. so these are some of the things that are being explored by the biden administration. now we should point out the administration still weighing the possibility of sending some 8500 troops to support. should the vladimir could decide to invade ukraine? this would be to support the nato allies. that's a decision that we are expecting by the end of the week. kimberly, thanks very much. kimberly hawk at our white house correspondent, let's bring in the vodka, who's in london. as i mentioned before and leave the british by miss has been talking to parliament about the situation and ukraine was, have been saying abbas johnson oversee, has been quite distracted with his own problems and domestic politics. a now a chance to re focus the attention on international masses of grave seriousness boys, johnson reiterated britain's commitment to the nato alliance, saying that he would potentially order reinforcements to be sent to estonia and the politics they. so shortly off the united states said that it too could send reinforcements from western europe to eastern europe. if the need arose. johnson also said that ever since 2015 that have beamed of special forces from the u. k, on the ground training the ukrainians to be able to counter any possible russian invasion. and the message from boyce johnson was pretty clear targeted directly at president putin. he said that any invasion would be catastrophic for russia. it would lead to have drawn out protracted war, akin with chechnya, and with bosnia he said that it was scorch that part of europe and it would be completely counterproductive for the russians to go ahead with this. of course, a lot of the russians have their own take on this. they view nato as clearly encroaching on post soviet space, basically, rupture and nato. now, the twain shall meet. so it were, you know, they have very, very different opinions on who exactly the aggressor is. boss johnson, keen to frame that the alliance is a partnership. and i've heard many, many times said from nato generals in the past that they hope that one day russia will join the upon the ship, russia seas. nato is nothing more than an extension of us. and european foreign policy, you are going to be talking about by mr. barnes jones's domestic problems later in the program. but for now need barker and london. thank you very much indeed. well, let's get more in the situation on the ground in ukraine. harder abdul hamid days? near the front line of the conflict in the eastern part of the country is he in eastern ukraine that people are concerned the most of a possible escalation in the conflict? this part of the country has seen fears of battles back in 2014 and 15. this is what's left of the industrial area. we're on the edge of add, ve fca, one of the towns that was badly hit dead oh, during the battles that centered around the airport in done yet, which is only 5 to 7 kilometers away from here. now the frontline is just a few 100 meters down this way we went there at the last position of the ukrainian forces distance only a 100 meters from the last position of the pro russian forces and the 2 side stair at each other are all day and all night long now, the situation is very calm. we just heard a few pouches. do ukrainian soldiers told us that that happens a lot. ah, they say that they refrain from a retaliated is simply because they don't want the situation to inflame. now we did ask them how they felt about may be a russian invasion in the coming weeks. ah, well they said that they didn't know if it was going to happen. but that this time round, they felt that the army was stronger. they have received training. they have received militate equipment. it keeps on pouring in, so they do say that the situation would be much different on the ground or money more had on the news are including the alarm in the scale of lebanon's economic collapse. we're going to hear how bad the world bikes as it is buried in ash, no water, and still no electricity. why much needed aid supplies? meant for toner, cannot be delivered. and in sports, one of cycling top writers is seriously injured in a trading trash details on the way, peter ah, ah, the global economy is expected to grow by 4.4 percent this year. that's half a percentage point less than previously estimated the international monetary fund. the says that recovery from the pandemic has lost momentum because of a resurgence in cases. inflation is also partly to blame for the i m f. 's latest downgrade prices in the world's richest economies around $25.00. you. hi. other concerns include the going crisis between ukraine and russia, and china's slowing economy basing as maintained a 0 tolerance approach, the pandemic, but experts are wanting. it's unsustainable. my number is the head of the international monetary fund, world economic studies research division, and he's joining us from washington d. c. thank you very much. indeed for being with us on our 0. what do you think has been hit hardest where we have is point 5 percentage point downgrade that you mention and slash down rates for the 2 largest economy in the united states and china. because of all the other factors that play in both economies in the united states, we no longer have this assumption that we have before the better of fiscal package baseline forecast. and we've also seen supply disruptions lasting longer than we previously expected. and expected to know that we previously anticipated. so all of those factors contributed to downgrade in china. the real estate sector has continued to slow and we now projected to significantly slow growth and real estate investment for next year than we did previously. and also consumption private consumption in particular has been so to come out and read, expected reflecting recurring outbreaks reflecting we found them in the economy at the moment. what's been described in the report as advanced economies are more likely to recover quicker. but what are the risks to emerging markets and developing economies? well they, there's been a difference in the amount of policy support that economies have been able to provide based on the amount of policy space that they have going into. this is the spend. and we've seen the economy and able to do much larger fiscal support on average than the emerging market in developing countries that's, that's helped with the rebound. it also does economies on average of also been able to, to vaccinate their populations at a faster pace than merging market and developing countries. and that's allowed a resumption activity. so we are seeing faster assumption of activity in advance economies as a result. on average. this divergence is expected to persist going forward. ready and it's, it's also a concern for us now when the prospect of advance economy in central banks, shifting the monetary policy stance. and that happens, there's a risk that interest rates increase and boring costs go up. and this puts pressure on the money market in developing economies. in particular, there is a intensifying case, for instance, inflation went to surprise even more on the upside, which would require a faster response from the banks economy. central banks, for example, the federal reserve in the united states. then what the current events of into cost is not going to happen. that would also an additional pressure to situation for marketing next, on developing economies that are not morally, we're still facing uncertainties about future variance. of the. ready the coven virus, and different approaches in corporate law, done like china. the talked about the threat of conflict in europe as well, and some african countries. how confident can you be about this forecast? well, we've had to, we are now casting the global economy through. we spend money, and this is a huge amount of uncertainty around all of these putting out that seems to start and then we can not always true even now. see the primary, the primary unknown really is the part of the damage and the risk that the flag in our point of the possibility that daily variance quoted much. there's also the concern about financial condition statement foster. and what we can expect based on con developments with regard to inflation and what that does to central banks, reactions the united states and the store with, with in europe. but beyond that, there are other factors that you mentioned, your political attentions. and that's sort of the fact that's because we look forward to talking to you said that it's people that actually drive economies mean what can governments, i'm in the corporations do to try to re instill confidence in people so that they are comfortable. and what the erin and are able to go out and spend and get that driver if you'd like to the economists. well, it's important to acknowledge the sizable response, many economies, particularly the advance economies, but also some large emerging market economies put in place in response to this unprecedented policy response to protect household disposable income, to protect cash flow businesses. and all that is, of course, contributed to this route to be fast re bomb. the scene coming out of by going forward priority remains to, to vaccinate uneven actually access across both. and that needs to be rectified a to, to the economy condition rates at this moment get patient thresholds that will allow for resumption of activity and will also reduce the risk of virus morphing. so but in terms of, in terms of health spending, that's another key priority to focus the physical support on health spending. to remedy the losses occurring from school learning losses that are going to be important part of the policy. generally, all of the measures are key priority measures that governance across one a to, to get these back on behalf of the international monetary fund. we appreciate you being with us and i'll just here. so thank you very much indeed for your time. thank you very much. for the world bank says the lebanese government's revenue fell by nearly half last year. the financial institute says gdp declined to buy more than 10 percent. protesters have been keeping up the pressure on the government. i call women is project director for 11 and that international crisis group. and he says lebanon's leaders are in denial about how bad the situation is. i'm talking to you now about over a network internet network that i, that i hope will hold up. i've just switched for before the program from one to the other. because we are at the point where the tech comes. providers don't have diesel to run generators, which they need to, to uphold the system or the network. because there's only 2 hours of state electricity per day. now imagine you have 2 hours of state tricity per day. how is any lebanese industrialist or producer going to compete in the international market? how are they going to exports? how they're going to convince their lines abroad? that they can deliver on whatever trade, whatever the business agreements they have, the, the situation to the local economy is facing it, a total collapse of interest infrastructure, which makes it extremely difficult to work, to produce and to earn money and to, to earn dollars that are required to pay for the claim ports, the political leadership would have to let go of their control over the state of their systems, of systematic plunder. really of the state and public resources. and their power is built on this systematic founder of the quietest resources of doing them out to support service and controlling institutions. and as long as they don't change, this is not going to be any money coming and we're not going to move forward. the also ball body fever has expressed its condolences after 8 people were killed in a stampede. and cameron, dozens more were injured in the crush during africa, top football towards the couple of nations that happen outside of stadium north of the capital yonder. like so, bryan reports that they were desperate grief outside what should have been a fund that family evening at a football match. instead, this woman is crying out for her father and asking god why several people were killed when crowd surged at the entrance to the africa cup of nations match between hosts, cameroon and cameras. mm hm. okay, no, i don't know. there were people behind you said push, i was among them. and when i saw that i left to enter from the north west. they stayed there. and that's when someone left to open the barrier. so someone pulled it by push locked that some fell on top of others, but there were even babies in norway bama their policy also metal. as the police closed the gate, a crowd of people came from behind and i was stuck in it. so i couldn't go back, i was below, and god spared me now gonna be as an apple red. wow. people was seen lying motionless near an entrance to the stadium. one person mount next to one of the victims and appeared to be trying to resuscitate them. i just now there were 50 people, i saw nearly 50 people on the ground. the african for bull confederation says it's investigating the incident. crisis talks are reported to have been cold. i've at why the security issues limit stadium can hold 60000 people. the capacities been limited to just 60 percent because of coven 19. that capacities increase to 80 percent when the home team cameron's indomitable lions play me. i can tell you that. are there was absolutely more than 80 percent that the stadium that was nearly full. i'm assuming that's because of the barriers that hold up sort of rustin, mo, from what i can tell you is that going into the stadium. there's a very serpentine corridor that's not very wide. it's maybe 2 or 3 meters in which, and that people will go wrong. increasingly frustrated, so you know, a lot of my ha, cameron was meant to host africa biggest football tournament in 2019. but the event was taken away from them and handed to egypt after concern stadiums. we're not really for the games who have a question marks of about construction and security elim day is the main stadium for the african tournament. it's a to stage 3 more games, including the final on february 6th, alixia, bryan al jazeera, lisa london, have opened an investigation into government events held during the corona virus lockton. this is separate from an inquiry led by senior civil servants to gray, which is also looking into more than a dozen gatherings. the most recent revelations accused the u. k. prime minister of attending a birthday party organized by his wife during the 1st lot done in june 2020. as a result, firstly of the information provided by the cabinet of his inquiry team. and secondly, my offices own assessment. i can confirm that the matt is now investigating a number of events that took place at downing street and whitehall in the last 2 years in relation to potential breaches of covet 19 regulations. when i speak to andrew simmons, he's joining us live now from london under. it seems as though the pressure and bars johnson and his government is ratcheting up with the addition of this police investigation. it certainly is, it is pretty extraordinary that you have a police investigation into criminal offenses here in the heart of government downing street and also whitehall, that amounts to 8 events. we understand, krista, dick, the metropolitan police commissioner outlining there that the investigation is taking place and it's cooperating with the cabinet office inquiry called by the downing street staff and the prime minister abbas johnson at now. those criminal inquiries are separate. it would seem to the grey inquiry, and now we have a situation where part of a situation where by all the promises of an imminent result to the inquiry, internal inquiry effectively have gone away. because the police inquiry will look at prosecution as a potential for prosecutions. how long that will take is unknown. it could be weeks, it could be months potentially. so what we're going to find is that the will be highlights from the grey inquiry very likely will that be enough to satisfy the public demand for answers was boris johnson guilty of offences already his popularity ratings of dived. the political situation facing him is that the conservative party is now feeling that he's a liability, and that is increasing with a drip feed of toxic information about these parties. and the apparent hypocrisy involved with government ministers in the prime minister himself in breaching lockdown rules every day. there seems to be another revelation at the latest a birthday party here in downing street a birthday cake, a sing song, of a happy birthday. in the cabinet room. in what is came to be an event organized by his wife. it was brief, apparently downing street say that prime minister was only there for 10 minutes. but there was also a suggestion that there was another gathering in the downing street flanked later on in the day in the early evening drinks and a group of family grouping there and others as well of guests outside all in breach . it would appear allegedly, all the regulations banning in door gatherings and to thank you very much. indeed, andrew sim was talking to us from london was still ahead on al jazeera calls for more protection. after a 3rd, a journalist is killed in mexico in less than 2 weeks. and it's 20 years since the end of the civil war in sierra leone has the be any peace dividend. an action from assyrian opened the womans number one cruises through in front of a whole new family. ah the hey, they're great to see you after a cold snap, a warm surgery there for the middle east. we'll talk about that in a 2nd. but 1st i want to draw your attention to the levant, we've got what, whether here, once again could see some flooding and snow for places like lebanon, and also into syria. k. now let's take you to the golf. we'll put the colors on here. dark of the orange, the higher the temperature southerly push are they are here. so that pops up the temperature in riyadh to $27.00 degrees on wednesday. well above average of the pakistan we've also got temperature is above average here in the north islam via coming in with a height 20 degrees. different story for turkey, a lot of snow. so this was a scene that is stumbles european side airport. so is stumble. have alimony over the past 2 days where the 20 centimeters of snow. so flights were grounded there at that shield of snow swiping southern areas. we saw dustin in antalya, but the bulk of the energy, once again running into the live, adds up to southern africa right now and remnants leftovers of what was tropical cyclone ana here they are on wednesday. press play, see where it goes. it goes from zimbabwe into zambia. this is certainly not good news because in both of those countries, we have had some flooding and temperatures in cape town. 26 sets after 45 on the weekend see later, ah, long before the cold crisis broke, the world was grappling with another global crisis. the climate break down. destruction of nature can lead to destruction of april all hill. the lockdown examines links between these 2 crises and asks why took a pandemic to bring on changes that should have been made long ago. all these things we were told completely impossible, suddenly become connected. the wake of cold can't be ignored. on a josina, bmw. ah ah ah ah, watching are 0 reminder what top stories this are the military co booking of fossil has triggered international condemnation with the us. the new and regional blog echo was calling for the immediate release of president walsh, cowboy, a group of soldiers deposed caberry on monday. it's not publicly known, but he is. russia has launched a new military drills near ukraine and in annexed crimea. moscow blamed the us for increasing tensions in the region. after putting its forces in europe on high alert, rushes to build up a run. ukraine has prompted fuse of an invasion, but he's in london, have opened an investigation into government events held during the corona virus lockton. this is separate from an inquiry led by senior civil servants to great. the most recent revelations accused the prime minister boris johnson of attending a birthday party organized by his wife during the 1st loft on. russian authorities have added a jailed kremlin critic galaxy nevada, the and some of his allies to its list of terrorists and extremists. moscow band, novalis political network guys, extremist, last year during a sweeping crackdown allies including your bog. so ball were also added to the list while leonid volkoff on evans dan off were added earlier this month. all 3 are outside russia at the moment. alexander sloppier as a member of the russian opposition, and he says, authorities have effectively stifled opposition in the country. unfortunately, that was expected and that's just a part of the russian authorities plan as long as you have been condemned or you are getting organisation been condemned to be extra restore a terrorist, you are being added to these least in a half a year or something. unfortunately, the opposition is almost destroyed. we should be like, realistic about that. it is sad to have made this fact, but this is true, since the extent of all the return to russia and he was arrested all the relish and crag down. and so basically the opposition no longer exists and russia, it's almost eliminated. so we can just keep some, our, some of our individual activities. and this is, it will be able to continue to our full scale political activity only when the regime changes or whether their food dies or something like that. because if now you start doing something legally, absolutely legally, but anyway, connected with politics, you immediately go to the jail. they used to invent or fabricate some kind of a criminal cases, sophisticated criminal cases. but now they no longer cure that because they have a lot of they have plenty of new criminal articles in criminal code that just could be used against your legal political activity in your organization. or you personally could be named undesirable and ended up in jail up to 6 year. so just you don't need any court decision to for your organization to be named are undesirable. just the willing of prosecutor or investigator. that's it. to 1000000 people in beijing have been order to get tested for covered 19 the decision came after a series of outbreaks ahead of the winter olympics next week. those in beijing

close to the went again to opens and only 10 days. but we've had reported in china 3400 cases around about since the beginning of december. this outbreak has spread to 6 regions, including some major cities such as shanghai and change. and but of course, what is really alarming authorities is these clusters now in the capital beijing. now there were 2 separate clusters that they've been trying to get under control. the 1st was about 6 cases of the highly infectious on the con variant. now authority say that they have seemed to contain that. but what they are still struggling to really fight is this cluster of the delta varied, which seems to center around a cold food storage plant in the district of fung tie. now, the 2000000 people living in fung tied district have been asked on tuesday to

side of the city and they're really strictly enforcing things like mosque wearing scanning of health codes and a new measure that they've put in place. so that if you go to a pharmacy and you by any

outbreak of coven 19 brought by 8 workers. it's insisting that all supplies must be delivered contactless. at this stage, the adelaide will complete its mission. as some communication is restored and toner, more images are coming out showing how devastating the disaster was. these are from the island of no mac up one of the closest to the volcano, and one of the most effective. the red cross estimates waves as high as 15 meters smashed into num, luca and nearby islands. really, nobody knew that there was a wave coming. i'm so we had all in every household that was on the road like we just shouted out soon army soon army you know get to higher ground. most people here have been moved to the main island of toma top oo. they're a long, clean up as underway and power has been restored, but

the executive board. tedra sat home to place us as the sole nominee for the leadership boat in may. a former ethiopian government minister says his 1st 5 year term has been challenging and it's a great honor to be given the opportunity to continue the battle against covered 19 australia has paid of $14000000.00 for the copyright of the aboriginal flag. it was created in 1971 and is become the

to pay for it. the minister for indigenous australians says now that the flag belongs to everyone, attorney and honest williams is an aboriginal community organizer. she says, overall, it is a positive development, which is uncomfortable with his trillion government owning the rights to an aboriginal flag. my 1st reaction was, oh i'm excited, right? but then my 2nd reaction was that i don't want this try and government identifying that represent that community. that flag was created protests and out of fighting against this institution is balance intrusion. that part of the land. and now they and i think, you know, i know the people saw the campaign i, but the current will when they had the face. and if from when, who were lazy the copyright from how, how comments? and, you know, i said, you know, with a fight we should be able to use a black how one to i think it is a bit error that you know, the government can find that the rascally represents. they all have the strength like represents strategy and represent i really think that our community should i know the rock to it, but anybody should be able to use it. and i think that it's really i'm really glad that he got money.
