Just coming in right now. The Federal Reserve has announced a half a point. That was not the most expected. Most of what i read was a Quarter Point expected. It was a toss up, and really heres the thing, the Federal Reserve raised Interest Rates to get inflation down. The more recent readings we have gotten on the economy the last six weeks since the last time they announced decision is pointing to a weakness in the labor department.

Countries, are at war with russia. Russia editor steve rosenberg has more on putin s warning to the west. A clear warning to the west do not do this, do not allow ukraine to use your missiles to strike russian territory.

To official duties. And not for turning. The chancellor is pressing ahead with her decision to end the Winter Fuel payments. But how many will rebel when it comes to the Vote Tomorrow . Very good evening. Our focus has shifted away from afghanistan. There are other crises that demand our attention. The chaotic withdrawal that left the taliban in charge, still begs uncomfortable questions of the western governments that withdrew. And yet after 20 years of war and investment, and the billions of dollars that was spent, the public Health System in afghanistan is today in ruins. There are millions of children starving. In one hospital, 700 children have died injust the last six months. It is a humanitarian crisis that deepens every day. The un estimates more than 3 Million children under five are malnourished, with aid used as political political leverage, and now much harder to deliver since the taliban took control.
