the international monetary fund cut since growth forecasts for the global economy this year is blaming the omicron variant higher energy prices and inflation. ah, a u. s. plane carrying military equipment and munitions has just landed in kia. these are pictures from british federal, airport, dest, outside care of that delivery, is coming, as russia has launched, new military drills, new ukraine, and in annexed crimea. moscow is blaming the u. s. for increasing tensions in the region of to putting its forces in europe on high alert, rushes to build up around ukraine as prompt and fears of an invasion. on tuesday, britain's prime minister called on 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 in circling 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 that any attack on his neighbor would be followed by tougher sanctions against russia. further steps to help you crane defend herself and bind increased nato presence to protect our allies on they tos. eastern plaid. and let's bring in our white house correspondent, kimberly hall. could these pictures were seeing from the airport just outside key? have evidence obviously of the way that the u. s. is at least finally to manage the situation at the moment. yeah, this is something that was promised by the secretary of state antony blank. and what we know is that there are about 90 tons of military equipment services to the tune of about $650000000.00. and this is in addition to what we know could be even more should the u. s. president decide to move ahead with what he's calling an additional deployment. we expect some sort of decision by the end of the week, potentially in coordination with nato allies. the u. s. president readying for possible deployment. not just airship or warships, but also aircraft. and up to 8500 military personnel, and there is the possibility of that number increasing should number one, vladimir putin decided to invade ukraine and are 2 things deteriorate. now, it is important to know that none of this is going directly into ukraine, but instead would be going to nato allies. the point is, is this would be to strengthen the nato alliance is something that the united states says it intends to do is as an says, this is a result of. 6 what it sees as russian aggression, namely, the 10s of thousands of military troops that are, have amassed themselves, a long rushes border near ukraine. understandable administration has been talking to some journalists about the actions. it's going to take, if russia should move towards or in to ukraine, would have been saying yeah, we have known for some time that to in addition to potentially sort of the military aspect of this conflict, should vladimir putin decide to invade ukraine? there is also the punishing financial sanctions that the united states and the european allies are promising. but now we're getting a better idea of what that might look like. and according to u. s. officials, we're hearing that the united states would put in place export controls and a number of key sectors, namely a artificial intelligence, as well as aerospace. in other words, companies that currently are selling products to russia. in order for these industries to exist would no longer be able to do so in turn, crippling rushes ability to conduct operations in those areas. now the other thing we know is that there has been some concern from european allies about the future. should russia decide to potentially cut off energy supplies, the areas of oil and gas, and that could be a problem given the fact that we're in the winter and it could be a very cold future ahead. so we also know that there are explorations and conversations going on right now between the united states and other countries, including we're hearing cut our, to explore alternate tubs, forms, or even sources of energy. should russia decide to pull that trigger in terms of leverage. so the united states having a number of conversations right now, but in terms of the picture of those punishing financial sanctions that joe biden has promised in coordination with the, the united states allies. it's clear that when they say they are looking to inflict very painful financial damage, this is how they intend to do it. so why does corresponding to many hoggard kimberly thank you. the grains conflict with separatists has been concentrated in the east, but villagers near the border with russian and his crimea say they're worried about the threat of an attack. char stratford is in sharona in southern ukraine. russian onyx crimea is a few kilometers in that direction. now, despite moscow saying that it has no intention of launching and offensive, we be speaking to people in villages like this one and they tell us they are increasingly afraid. darkness, manteca, we ask here it will, it through the hardships of 2014 when russia to crimea, and perhaps the threat is the same. now since we have small children in the family, we have already packed our emergency belongings close and documents. so if we need to, we can hide somewhere in sellers, for example, was they somewhere safe? a few people are traveling in or out of crimea or in recent weeks, but we met someone who had just returned and thought of a story. little also scary. i have just arrived to day from sebastopol. the atmosphere is calm. people are out with their children, playing in the snow through the mood is relaxed in comparison to 2014 to 2015. when people discuss the conflicts and what to do, some people aren't really talking about war now because so accounts like that saying that the situation remains calm in crimea, but that comes on a day. when the russian defense ministry has announced that it has started new tank drills, military exercises on the peninsula, which means hundreds of thousands of people in this region can only hope that the intense diplomatic efforts don't fail. char stratford al jazeera, cheer vonner, some new grain. rising, the thought is of added jailed kremlin critic alexi no volley and some of his allies to its list of terrorists and extremists. moscow ban of arnie's political network as extremist last year during the sweeping crackdown allies including the above sobel, but also added to the list in volkoff and yvonne's dunk of what added earlier this month. all 3 are outside russia at the moment. the military current burkina faso has triggered international condemnation with the u. n. and the u. s. calling for the deposed president's immediate release. roscoe body is said to have resigned under threat and intimidation from the military. according to west africa's regional block echo was guardsmen gathering in the capital. why the double 2 shoulder support for the military. the soldiers behind the crusades they took power because the government failed to contain on groups that have killed thousands. don't regular. thank you. we are saying no to sanctions, the army took office to sort things out in the keno fair, so that's what we care about, you know, but eco was in stay where you are. will you did get them? is in a border, i resigned to join people who are fighting and indeed the fight was launched in officers, especially the young, responsible officers have taken power. time has proven us all right. some med nickos more from the capital. why? good ago? there's been a lot of public support as of yesterday when they made the announcement. and then 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 sanctions coming from the regional block. and they, they say down with hacker watson, regional, but they, they're not the care right now. they think that the military takeover is worth whatever that they might have to face down the line. if 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 cues, say that there's 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 there. his colleagues have died, they're very frustrated. they're angry at the government handling of the situation so far and say that they think that they can put together a better military strategy according to military. yesterday there. a was running the country and there was a man who signed the signed the communique name is henry and he's in charge. a right now he's a young man, he's about 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 they like him, so he seems to be at the head of this military hotel, the taken over as of yesterday evening. but he's in london, opened an investigation into government events. how doing corona virus locked on? this is separate from an inquiry led by senior civil service su gray, which is also looking into more than a dozen gatherings. the most recent revelations accuse the u. k. prime minister of attending a birthday party, organized by his wife during the 1st lockdown in june 2020 as a result of the information provided by the cabinet office inquiry team. and secondly, my officers own assessment. i can confirm that the mat is now investigating a number of events that took place at downing street and watch hole in the last 2 years in relation to potential breaches of covet 19 regulations under sentences in london. and he says, the prime minister is increasingly being seen as a liability to his party. 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 crescent a 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 of forest johnson at now, those criminal inquiries are separate. it would seem to the grey inquiry, and now we have a situation where part of the situation went 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 the 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 gray inquiry very likely will not 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

international monetary fund says the 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, and the world's richest economies are at a 25 year high. other concerns include the growing crisis between ukraine and russia and china as a slowing economy. beijing has maintained a 0 tolerance approach to the pandemic. but experts, one, it's unsustainable, montana. bob is the head of the international monetary funds, world economic studies research division. and he thinks higher inflation is set to last a longer than was previously thought. and it's gonna hit developing economies harder . 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 spandex and we've seen that balance economy is able to deliver much larger fiscal support on average than the emerging market and developing economies that help with the rebounds. also a nice economies on average of also been able to, to vaccinate their populations at the base and merging market in developing countries. and that's allowed a resumption activity. so we are seeing foster assumption and activity in advance economies as a result on average. this divergence is expected to assist going forward. ready and it's, it's also a concern for us now with the prospects of advance economy and central banks, shifting their monetary policy stance. and as that happens, there's a risk that interest rates increase and boring costs go up. and this puts pressure on vulnerable emerging market in developing economies. in particular, the risk intensified if, for instance, inflation one to supply and even more on the upside, which would require a faster response from a bank, the comedy central banks. for example, the federal reserve in the united states, and then what the current events coming to our forecast is not what happened. that would also an additional pressure to situation for the next developing economies that are on the borrowing. the rolled football body fever has expressed his condolences after 8
