coming up in the next 60 minutes. ukrainian officials say 4 people have been killed by a russian drawing strike in the cave region. a show solidarity but not much detail about his proposal to end the war in ukraine. the chinese president ends his visit to moscow. how lebanon's economic crisis is affecting its banks and pushing the nation towards the cash based economy. and only one and 4 people in the world has access to safe drinking water. the way is wanting of a global water crisis ions for i'm not sure between 2 generational talents to sort of the outcome of the world baseball classic show hire tony, getting the better of american mike. charles of japan won the cycle for a 3rd time. ah, has just passed 10, g m t and we start and key where ukranian officials say 4 people have been killed in russian drone strikes on the region. military sources say a civilian object was damaged in the attack and rescue workers a still on the scene. well, for more on this, let's bring in a correspondence stephanie deca. she's live for us in key is the 1st attack on a residential building and the key region in mon, stephanie, what more do we know about us? yes, the 1st stop since december actually videos just emerged and at night which shows you can hear the sound of a drone just before you see the explosion. light up the night sky, the 4th and 5th stories of 2 residential buildings. they're being described as dormitories by the head of the regional police. there are 4 killed as you mention, 2 were injured. and from what we understand, a rescue operation goes on. 16. drones were shot out of the sky intercepted by ukrainian air defenses overnight out of 21. we understand the ukranian president also address the incident, cooling the murderous drones and saying as they refer to peace and moscow orders are given to launch these kinds of good drones. of course, referring there to china's piece plan. that was i, at some point discussed on the table between those 2 leaders. again, you know, key of is of course, the capital. and it does still see attacks much more sporadic, of course, long range missiles, particularly targeting its civilian infrastructure like power plants, electricity plants. and then you still have these kinds of incidents, which is a reminder that it does remain an active wars on the air. sirens do go off pretty much on a daily basis. people have long ignored those air sirens, and the key of local police was quoted as part of this operation of rescue said that the 4th person killed was a 40 year old driver that they removed from the building. say he did not listen to the air raid sirens, but you know, the reality is that a year on to this war, when you have those sirens going on on a daily basis, people simply have to go on with their daily lives. stephanie, thank you very much. for that, that is stephanie deca with the latest live in t's and, and crimea, russian officials say the navy has repelled a drawing attack on the sebastopol port. this comes 2 days after an explosion on potentially destroyed russian muscles. that according to ukraine's defense ministry that were intended for use by moscow's black sea fleet, the russian administrator of zan coin has said the city had come under attack from drones. beds bring in journalist julia shep ovalo one now from moscow and the kremlin backed may of savannah of all of us to pull the saying that the russian navy repelled this drawing attack. i'm on the port in russian annex crimea pulled us vosta pull. that is, what are you hearing about this in moscow? julia? that's correct. here in moscow we are receiving a report that the black sea fleet repelled the talk by ukrainian trains which destroyed 3 objects. according to the governor's service told me how vagina he published the information and his telegram channel. he said that the drones tried to get to the bait into the bay of the sailors. the russian sailors finance small arms at them and there were no casualties. some windows into buildings, residential buildings, would blown out g, 2 explosions caused by destroyed trends. so their talk happened at around 8 in the morning local time. so basically be all out war is expanding and as you said, not so long ago, a massive tried by several ukrainian us. these was carried out in john coy on the crime in peninsula late monday evening. on march. the 20th, at least 6, you are these of the chinese move in 5 time equipped with explosives were used in that talk and local authorities that reported that to civilian objects were damaged . one person was, had the russian side, a said most of the trains were intercepted. meanwhile, the ministry of defense of ukraine announced the destruction of a russian caliber cruise missiles, which were transported by rail. so basically, john corps is a huge rail hug. and according to ukraine, beatrice wanted probably to destroy some logistics, and it could have caused some problems for the russian army. but basically, according to the russian fight, all the railroads work regularly and none of them, none. none of that infrastructure actually was affected by that attack. all right, thank you for that. that is julia sheffield. were live in moscow. thank you. after more than a year of war, here's where things stand on the ground. russia controls much of the territory east where the denise pro river is ukrainian counter offensive in the autumn reclaimed swathes of land the north and south, including the city of course on. now the fighting is concentrated on the city of buck, moth where the 2 sides have been locked in an extended stay of mate. we're going to bring an achilles desperate. he's the ukraine spokesperson for the international committee of the red cross. and he's joining us live from keith. thank you very much for your time on al jazeera. if we look at the re fighting that's been taking place around the city of buck more, what is the situation for people remaining in and around buckboard? now to look, i was myself in the localities around on friday in our way there again on saturday in the area very close to the city and in other areas near the front line. the scale of destruction is shocking. it. very few buildings haven't been destroyed or damaged. we are seeing when we are driving there with our convoys of humanitarian aid. we are c cools homes. ready hospitals that have been destroyed and it's incredible to imagine that civilians are still living in the area but they are that's why it's so important that we are bringing them. busy unit their needs because people living in these areas are lacking, be essential. they're lacking water, they're lacking food. they're lacking hygiene items. they are lacking return material to be broken windows and broken doors. so they're living very, very dire condition. and that's what we at the international committee of the red cross, or try to help them with very difficult circumstances. and what about evacuating people from what i know that most of the population has actually left? are you able to get everyone out as everyone living in back more willing to leave, especially given that many of the people who are there have been displaced so many times already. as you said, most civilian is living in the city apartment. i've already evacuated, however, they are sometimes evacuated to city that are very close to are very close to the active frontline. i spoke myself to a city, a member of the city council, and she told me that in the city of constantino got, which is right after me, more than 200 family from backwards are living. and basically when they left, because the stories were just too intense or because the frontline was coming too close to them, they had nothing with them but what they could carry that they need really everything from close to blankets, line items. so even people who have already evacuated from the most active areas, the finding, they still remain very close to the front line and they still have been the basic to monitor a nice. and we should also not forget that areas close to the front line. and in the city close to. busy the also some people who simply cannot evacuate because their elderly, because they're a loom ability or also people who simply refused to leave their homes for. that's why it's incredibly important that you really do an actors such as the international committee of the red cross are able to bring in this assistance into these very dangerous areas that badly civilians are still living in. and as you mentioned, there are so many elderly, there are people with mobility issues, but for those who can live but choose not to, i mean they're not going to be convinced by the fact that they can't actually go very far. they just going to be around backwards, and they are still going to be dependent on the humanitarian assistance. so is there anything that you can actually do to convince the people who can leave to leave? look for us. our objective is not necessarily to convince people to lead, but it's also to serve the needs of the people. busy wherever they are, we know that civilians remain next to the front line in these areas that are very dangerous. and when i spoke to people that i spoke to a young man, a 19 year old man named daniel who was telling me that he could leave. but he just doesn't want to, because he has a grandfather in the area. he has lots of elderly people in this, in this village that he's living in. and he just doesn't want to leave them. and this is a situation that we can all understand as a very difficult situation. nevertheless, we need to help these people where they are and we need to provide them with basic things. just late last week, i was on a convoy that managed to bring 70 tons of food to areas near the front line and 6000 leaders of drinking water to the community. so that's what they need to simply survive as one resident of city, the men they nichol. i told me very bluntly people here are not really living there merely surviving. ready and that's what we have to help them do. it is very difficult condition and as to does press, we thank you very much for bringing us a picture and from back the humanitarian situation. after months of fighting around that that is, and i, kitty, desk press of the international committee of the red cross joining us life and kate, thank you so much for your time. thanks for having me. and chinese president, she jan thing has left moscow after 2 days of talks, would president vladimir putin? the 2 ladies issued a joint statement on tuesday, calling for responsible dialogue to end the war. and ukraine putin's says bating proposals to and the conflict could be used as the basis for a peace settlement that came in the west don't appear willing to resolve the situation. we're going to bring in our china correspondence, katrina, you. she is joining us live from bay ging so many agreement signed and support from putin at least in words for she's piece plan for ukraine. katrina, has she achieved what he set out to with this visit? why the main message from they doing is that it's powering forward with deepening ties of moscow. despite mass disapproval from the united states and other west and allies. they doing has said that this relationship as it is at its highest level than ever. and it's here to stay apparently, no matter how moscow continues its invasion of ukraine. now we saw 2 statements released by she didn't paying and as adding that person jointly, the 1st one basically was saying that they do in moscow or are strategically on the same page in despite not having a military or political alliance, they are both committed to changing a world order from one that is u. s. lead to one that is more multi polar. and the 2nd document was about economic cooperation. especially increasing this when it comes to the areas of agriculture and energy. and china is getting more russian oil and gas in return for providing economic and economic lifeline for sanctions hit russia. now all those things were previously agreed is just that beijing is basically taking everything up and not the extra things updating, achieved, or really to do with the optics. firstly, she didn't pick seems to have used this trip as a platform to promote china's ukraine war piece plan. and although. 6 nothing concrete was achieved, other than who didn't say that he's open to dialogue. what matthew's to been doing is that she's in pain with able to present himself as a peacemaker. and of course, we're still waiting to hear whether he's going to go forward to speaking to your premium president ward. miss lensky. the 2nd thing that fading a cheap is that without crossing any red pines antagonized europe, that is to say without providing any military support for russia, he was able to make vladimir putin look less isolated. and the reason for doing this is that disliked agent wanting an end to the ukraine will what china does not want to see is a, we can russia a failed state or a toppled pewter. and because of this, she didn't, thing is throwing his weight behind moscow despite the ukraine war because china need moscow in its corner as it faces increasingly, cancellations with the united states. right. katrina, thank you very much for that. that is katrina you with the laces live in beijing. well, let's stay with this. we're going to bring in, i fun. oh, now he's a senior fellow at the singapore institute of international affairs and he's joining us live from quantum pool. thank you very much for your time. just how much would you say the russia ukraine war has accelerated russia and china strategic and their economic relationship well, barely a few weeks before the russian nation of ukraine. indeed, they reached such a comprehensive, strategic operation, but caused wave the onslaught of the ukrainian con plague. it would appear that china and russia are getting closer to each other. because while on the one hand, russia is being ostracized by the width and m. similarly, the sam western can also trying to confront in china, in terms of china. so writing the military and other progress are the best. all right, president, she seems to be trying here to position himself, you know, as something of a global statement, isn't he? with his ukraine peace plan and following the diplomatic deal between the recent diplomatic deal between saudi arabia and iran. but this president, she pays plan for ukraine, have the potential to be anything more than a plan. would you say well, cause the bay gene side is to sort of busking in the limelight brokering the iranian and to resume the diplomatic relations. so now in china to be able to brock her yet another view between russia and ukraine. china was the man, the position on the robo stage as one of the most pre eminent, so co peace broker, or do broker and internationally. and that in a sense, would upstage the united states. we traditionally play such a row. but do you think that there is anything concrete in this piece plan? well i think the ukrainian side mallory receptive if anything in the russian by which is where we as your reporter, for example, with the russian president saying, well, you would consider such a due by the ukraine. insight seems to be proactive in terms of trying to the suit you to it's and now what that would entail. for example, what both the russian and your gradient sites we have to, you know, send back in. and i think that remains to be seen by think eventually there would be some sort of bargaining going on or i missed that or that as i found, or joining us live from one of them for thank you very much for your time. japan's prime minister for me, a krishanda is in warsaw after ending his visit to ukraine. these alive pictures from the polish capital where he speaking to the prime minister. i do apologize. i think we're now looking at pictures of the japanese prime minister for me. okay. shita, he was speaking to his polish counterpart a little earlier. okay, should i also met president ballade, amanda lensky in keith, where he promised japan support. you also visit the town of butcher where russian forces are accused of killing more than $400.00 civilians last year. moving on to other news now and south korea's as pyongyang has tesla multiple cruise missiles towards the peninsulas east and waters souls as the mussels could have been long range. and it's not clear how many were launched. sean gang has wrapped up in the drug tests and recent weeks as the u. s. and south korea carry out joint trolls are plenty more on the news hour, including thousands spend the night on the streets in pakistan and afghanistan after an earthquake. shake the hindu kush mountain range. as the u. s. banking sector appears to stabilize, we look at the mixed signals coming from the world's largest economy and in sport. another deadline day in the contest to buy one of the world's most famous football clubs. ah, lebanon's economic collapse has devastated as banking sector and turned the nation into a cash based economy that's been depriving and nearly bankrupt government, billions of dollars in revenues. and it's driving elicit activity. zane of ha, that has more from beirut. lebanon has become a cash economy. it's the result of a 4 year old financial crisis brought about by decades of mismanagement and corruption. the banking sector is crippled and the country is close to bankruptcy. it's the biggest threat that the government and the country is facing. because it is a very, very, very dangerous the entire economy is a cash economy. all the money is going to the private sector. the solution is only in one place that is to normalize and finalize. the restructuring of the banking system. lo, restructuring is one of the reforms required for much needed international support to provide the economy. but that means the political and business elite will have to compromise their hold on power. something they have resisted so far. in the meantime, money transfer companies have stepped in as have other financial institutions, many of which are not regulated. 50 to 60 percent of the total g, d, p, as they consider to be in the shadow economy. so outside the states, this includes 2 types of activities. you have information activities, which means enterprises who do not declare the employees that they have to not declare their exact revenues, but also you have the in this part of these activities. this is causing concern, particularly among western nations, that tracking elicit, cash transactions will become more difficult, compromising the fight against money laundering, and the financing of armed groups. an estimated $8000000000.00 is exchanging hands outside the radar of the state. that includes the illegal activities such as smuggling across the border to syria. the informal economy is also growing. the international labor organization estimates that 60 percent of the workforce is not taxed and doesn't benefit from social protection. the government is unable to provide services and its struggles to pay public servants, although the salaries are negligible, given inflation. and with a cash economy means big losses. the government loses around 20 to 25 percent of expected revenues because of corruption, bribery, and tax evasion. when all the while many war lebanon is operating outside the international financial system that include their elders, eda, beirut, and santa, is joining us live from bay road. now lebanon's central bank is trying to put a bosh on the free fall of the lebanese lira. but i was f, it's making any difference santa no, the lebanese lira, the local currency is worthless. it has been devaluing over the past 4 years since the onset of a financial crisis in late 2019 since then time and time again, the central bank pumps millions of dollars into the market hoping to stabilize the exchange rate of the currency. yes, it recover slightly, but at the end of the day it continues its depreciation, and that's why a few dozen people were gathered outside the government palace here in central they wrote a short while ago of the security forces lob tear gas, excessive amounts of tear gas to disperse the crowd, people here are upset. they say that they came here to demand better living conditions that they can no longer survive and that their purchasing power has been eroded. yes, there is a portion of the population here who earned in dollars, but there's also a portion of the population who earn in the local currency and who are, who are suddenlink to survive with us, to set us tunnels. you've been fighting for the rights of depositors and lebanese people for 4 years now. what is your reaction to what happened today? actually 1st, this is the peers guy here, guys that our government, that shooting on us. okay, with these guys are asking for their rights after several years of service independent to the service, they have that deposit at the bank. so even the government are not giving them their rights. even the banks also are not getting withdrawing their money. so these guys they have the right to do whatever they have to do, even though we so some friendly fire. so we saw some soldiers that they are running . busy out they carry that, got it done because they can't, they can't be there anymore. yes. a job in between the people and the security of the government. tell us yes, but we've seen protest like this over the past 4 years and to no avail, nothing changes. why? because most of the politicians, they don't have ears to hear because they don't want to act accordingly because they are not serious in solving the problem. most of the rights that are this and it's done, discuss a bill, you know, you, it's, you don't need anyone to explain these rights, but they don't as even in the parliament, they didn't try even want to find because they are protecting their own interest. because none of the parliamentary or the ministers are are not acting in a serious way, especially for the deposit those codes. because as we saw that you know, the. busy cuts of control, we've been waiting for it for 3 years. we didn't see any cop to control any plan for the to solve the problem right. to laugh at us. can you tell us what daily life is like for the average lebanese stay with us? who are living in a disaster, we are to withdrawing our money to pay 415000 fee and the around 12123. the 15140 us today a decrease to 2, antoine. this is the day i'm actually a. busy of the leader, and we cannot, we cannot spend, we can update our electricity. it's becoming in dollars actually gone, dolphin dollars, and we're withdrawing our money for $15000.00 for us. thank you very much. as you can see the economy, it's becoming dollar eyes. not everybody has access to dollars, people savings are dropped and buying, so they take to the streets to ask for better living conditions. and the response is tear gas. and this is something we've seen for 4 years. the response from the state has been militarized. zayna, thank you very much for that. that is then of all the joining us live from beirut. thank you. at least 13 people have died after a magnitude 6.5. earthquakes, track, northern afghanistan, and parts of pakistan, but centered on the hindu kush mountains near the northern afghan province of buck . schon, people and cavalry outdoors when the quake heard, as there was celebrating the persian new year, many chose to spend the night out doors. at least 9 people died in pakistan where hospital to place on high alert as more than 70 people were

out on the streets, the scared and also some filming the damage that had been done to the building. some show in the cracks. in high story buildings as well as some other smaller buildings. now we've also heard from the authorities, if they have been a number of landslides that have locked up rows in table for food and also some of the northern areas of guilt and both is done. now that will inhibit slices to try to get to some of the remote places. and there are many remote villages here in box animals. one of my is done and access to those will be difficult after those landslides, when you speak to people, there is a sense of fear, because people were taken, taken to social media. vip already be in some predictions. people claiming that there would be an earthquake in this region, but turkey is in the forefront of people's minds. people have seen the destruction does take place in that country, are also going back to 2005 in focused on your administered kashmir. there was a stronger effect that killed a right 87000 people, and that's still in the forefront of people's minds. or when you speak to people, yes, it's business as usual, but they are still fearful. still ahead on the news our find out my section violence on the rise of the conflict and eastern democratic republic of congo. we hear from survivors toasting the local vintage from time to why ukraine's wine industry is driving in the shadow of conflict and sport. the round the world races heading for the glides most the more spot. and he's here with that story. ah hello, it is letting very spring like now across so much of here we have got lost, clear skies into central and eastern parts, high pressure in charge here keeping it settles and pleasantly warm and fair amounts of sunshine. not quite the same over towards the west particular the north west where we have weather systems rattling through. there we go with those blustery showers which will lead just drifting from the atlantic. but as i said, his feelings bring like at least it is mild temperature, getting up into the mid teens there for paris and for london was still we are touching $21.00 degrees, a 10 degrees above the seasonal average. hey, we have got a few shafts down towards the southeast. was to clear up towards the black sea oak area seeing some sherry rain. but as you can see, much of for central europe than across

once again across the good part of the mediterranean. not quite the same for libya over the next couple of days. it is wet and windy showers . ah. tension in the occupied west bank is on the increase leading to a new wave of palestinian retaliatory action. you are one of the most. one thing is that a al jazeera world investigates to new on gaming, public support and meeting israeli forces had on a new phase of palestinian resistance on al jazeera. this is a story being spotted fantasy with being sold. the notion that we can offset all the cars we generate does carbon offsetting actually work. what is being done isn't worth sitting. the profit is net 0, just the couch res. little mission. that very little climate child ali re examines the rifts and allusions in the struggle against climate breakdown. all hail the planet episode one on al jazeera. ah ah, watching the news out of me and as of a tournament, a reminder of our top stories, the sour ukrainian officials say full people have died in russian drones trying from the cave region. kind for so say they shut down 16 of 21. iranian made drain drawer, launched over night by russia and crimea. russian officials say the navy has repelled a drone attack on these of us to poll. port comes 2 days after an explosion on the peninsula, destroyed russian muscles. that according to ukraine's defense ministry and china's president, she didn't ping has left moscow after 2 days of tours of president vladimir putin. the 2 leaders issued a joint statement calling for responsible dialogue to end the war in ukraine. there was an imminent risk of a global water crisis that's according to the un, which is hosting its 1st conference on water and sanitation. and 45 years in new york, it says more than 2000000000 people don't have enough water for at least one month a year. 26 percent of the world's population doesn't have safe drinking water. nearly half of the don't have adequate sanitation. the u. n. is warning was shortages will get worse in the coming decades, especially in cities, unless this better international corporation and diplomatic editor james base has more from the united nations headquarters in new york. this is the 1st conference of its type for more than 40 years. some presidents, prime ministers, as well as many ministers from all around the world have gathered here in new york . they know the problem is very serious. the estimates suggest that water demand in urban areas around the world is likely to increase by 80 percent. by the year 2050 . i been speaking to the foreign minister of bangladesh, about the challenges his country faces regarding water is really important for band with this because really what i am country, we will eat and if, if to 7 rivers criss crossing the country. in addition, we in the peep up the bell been all and the in the emotion into specifically what is our life everyday life and their poor album late to the had been locked with abuse or water and waters. so the ocean, so great preserver for it on the carbon emissions the global warming. and nowadays, since we'll abuse in water and i the chemical plastic as it is all the global warming is, these absorber is not absorbing as much to this. and we want to say this plan attacked. and one way to save this planet of, besides, and esther, i mean that glossy bendis is also to upkeep the waters. and therefore this conference is really very important to run by this. in addition, we also have many diverse which comes from other countries, $57.00, the rest comes from other countries and we have to develop it, program policy. so that all the people of that are in the line and cashman should be benefit. so what needs to come out of this conference to make it a 6? i think we need to look forward to universal code of conduct in utilizing the what are the sources maintaining the water and also you must protect and preserve the water, the cross donations. it tells us the good news that so many countries are talking about water and talking about cooperating on its use privately. though diplomats will tell you that all the commitments that come out of this week's conference will be voluntary and there will be no final binding agreement. james bay's al jazeera at the united nations. even countries with a huge water reserves like columbia dealing with shortages and the last 2 decades axis has been declining due to climate change and population growth of the or heard from one woman living in a poor neighbourhood. a vulgar child with supplies of scares. he is her story and her own words mean on but i do i know i, lindsay, my name is duwana valencia. i'm 28 years old. i live in the d. v. no new neighborhood in the fact of the quarter. they miss that was what i read of my 3 kids 4 years ago. displeased by the violence in the chuckle region. when you said what i said long since the 1st day we never had access to water for our household calls, personal hygiene, cleanings. it's very complicated. i kind of thought parts of the neighborhood receive water leak at night. at times every 3 or 4 days. i depend on the good heart of neighbors that share some of the water with me. well, the own. okay. and the weather that i don't know, but i'm working as a security guard. there are days that i don't bring any food at work because i have no water to cook it and i work tomorrow, but my uniform is dirty because i haven't been able to wash it out with it. i hope same with my kids, school uniform, their shoes. i have loads of dirty dish because i haven't been able to wash them either. them again i have, i hope to be able to buy a big tank or find an organization that could help us get on the menu of the money for a given that this country. so rich in water. it's kind of the logic that we're living in a neighborhood where access to walk through it. you have the main issue or mail that when i can, well, what i, what i think we have a right to watch or because water is life. well, let's get more on this now. we're joined by mark would shut out. he's a global water and sanitation hygiene advisor at human p u k. and he's joining us by skype from god. so thank you very much for your time. the number of people who don't have constant access to say water and sanitation is absolutely alarming. is the world going to achieve the sustainable development goal? water and sanitation for or by 2030. ok, thank you very much. i'm happy to join you. actually the problem, you know, it's increasing day by day, year by year about quarter crisis across the world. united nations put a d g number to fix it. sustainable level and go for water and sanitation access for everybody in the world as to be achieved by 2030. but unfortunately, the reason data and that system and done by united nations and governments showed that the government should work for times in order to speed up the process in order to meet this goal. and this is a very stripping, you know, findings. i think that's one of the thing that this conference that's taking place at the united nations in new york. the 1st of its kind and 40 years on water that it's a good start to getting the international community back on track to achieving that goal of safe water and sanitation for all by 2030 is almost 10 optimistic about. but in order to be optimistic, we have to put the policies that all the countries and even the develop, the developed countries, you know, commit to these goals and commit to financing any outcomes that come or the findings from this conference. because when we talk about water crisis, what that it is part of the global warming climate change. so without a, an integrated solution, we cannot achieve the goals as d, g 's, 17 agenda by united nation. so it's a collective responsibility and the water. it's a responsibility for every one for everybody in this. and also it's a collective responsibility among all governments and especially the developed countries in order to reduce emissions, carbon emissions, which are fixed severely, you know, the climate change. for example. busy 6 month ago we faced a disaster with flooding in bucket time, where currently we are facing a very, very stressing drought in so manya and other countries in the middle east. so our solutions should focus on the number for the options for the, for example, for the water management, for these sources in addition to the initiatives or in initiating water solutions or water technology is that the reliance on sustainable energy technology, for example, solar energy, all right, mr. thank you very much for your time on this. that is my workshop out joining us live from gaza. thank you. thank you to the us. now we're after a turbulent few weeks of financial news in west as i watching a decision from the federal reserve that's due later on wednesday. it could raise rates to continue curbing inflation. or my pause, given the turbulent bank market as gabriel. and he's all know reports from new york, the world's largest economy is still facing some challenges the u. s. economy is certainly giving off a lot of mixed signals. right now. on one hand, there's a banking crisis that has the markets teetering, but there's also some positive signs as well. i spoke to maxwell, an economist here in new york city to try to make sense of it all. most

percent. inflation will be less of a problem going forward, but we have a lot of instability risk around the global supply chain and around the conflict in russia and ukraine. higher interest rates might have helped low inflation, but it's also had a negative effect on the housing market. that's because interest rates during the pandemic, we're down to historic lows of about 2 percent. today.

jobs just in january and over 300000. in february, the unemployment rate of 3.4 percent was the lowest since 1969. and i'm, since americans are working, they're also spending money at a record pace as
