shares our commitment to ensuring that the world is better prepared to prevent detect and respond to the next pandemic. we also have to lead a global economic recovery that's sustainable and that matches growth with equity so that the people hardest hit by the economic impact of code are helped and it aligns also with the urgent need to reduce emissions and build a green economy so we can rise to the challenge of climate change our societies are colonies of being shocked and shaken by coronavirus at the same time responding to a situation where our values are being challenged the international architecture is at least in some respects being weakened and there's also the rapid technological change which brings new opportunities we've seen that with the collaboration of things like the vaccine but also acute challenges and there are global threats from coded to climate change that frankly demand global solutions and we are committed

to trying to find and forge the solutions ok so let's start with kimberly how that at the white house the white house correspondent of course kimberly i mean that the 2 men went through an absolute laundry list of all the things they've discovered and want discussed and want to do i say top of them seem to be issues like china and russia pushing back against both of them. the focus of this meeting was really for the united states to once again reaffirm that special relationship where the 2 sides both the united states and britain can reaffirm that shoulder to shoulder relationship to tackle the big issues and you outlined them there russia and china with respect to china it's very clear that the u.s. secretary of state is putting forward the message that the commander in chief u.s. president joe biden has also put forward that there is a need for

a vision for the future which brings countries together in common purpose and also that when any country china or otherwise takes actions that are road the rule based order that the united states is accused china of taking advantage of that the united states will stand up and defend that order they say that this is really a concern that has been a concern in the united states dating back even decades it has been discussed on capitol hill it's a bipartisan issue and it's one that this administration wants to confront now add to that with respect to russia we've seen this administration being very hard on russia in recent weeks not only in the form of sanctions but also in some of the language that joe biden has used particularly when he's described the russian president vladimir putin saying that they will continue to be tough on russia and that when there are times that the 2 countries to can work together that they will do so thanks kimberly for that perspective there from the white house now back to

london eve banker our correspondent you were listening along to the speech with me a little bit early and they've of the say so many things covered and then slightly surprising a strong mention of northern ireland as well which is not something that the u.s. leader has to really cover off but i guess on the 100th anniversary of the creation of northern ireland he took this opportunity. yeah he did and let's not forget that president biden has spoken repeatedly about his own personal links to the old country to ireland it's a matter a matter that is close to the president. and as such it remains closed to all top diplomats within the bided administration and he blinken could not let this all important milestone pass without mentioning concerns surrounding the future of peace in northern ireland concerns about the impact of breck's it on that part of

the united kingdom in the wake of an upsurge in violence and tensions between unionists and nationalist communities and the fear of possible violence from loyalist communities who are worried about the impact of breck's it may be to a certain extent of my old criticism of the boris johnson government as well of course it was johnson that spearheaded bricks it was johnson that created the idea of a de facto border down the middle of the irish sea making people in northern ireland unionists and loyalists feel they're being treated differently to the rest of the united kingdom so important for blinken to acknowledge this key adverse rebook perhaps also we can read a little bit more into that comment as well so this is sort of a lead in to the main event if you like which is the g 7 meeting just tell us a little bit that the fact that well actually they're meeting in person. they are and who would have thought to the sight of lots of men in grey suits an entire

grey room quiet so exciting but it is really important milestone radio after 2 years of doing things on skype and human teams you know finally face to face talks or at least mass to mass talks are very important when it comes to establishing rapport between nations or reaffirming the values of these top industrialized economies and reaffirming that democracies as well are those kimberly mentioned there also an attempt to restore a sense of the international alter the rule based international order that was totally shaken up by the trumpet administration and during that period we've seen a more assertive aggressive russia and china we all know that the united states and the u.k. have sent military hardware in the form of naval vessels and. fighter jets to to the south china sea we know that militarily messages are being sent to beijing

but you do also get the sense that diplomatically an awful lot of weight and force is being put into making sure that allies in the indo-pacific resume region are on side so beyond the g 7 you've also got the foreign ministers of of south korea of straight of the representatives from the assy and a group of nations as well that are present on the sidelines of these talks all of these nations of the u.s. and the u.k. of the spearheading of all of these a spearheading the g. 7 really trying to bring all of these nations on side when it comes to sending the right kind of signal to beijing while at the same time being able to work with beijing on crucial issues like global warming. in london with more on that coming g. 7 meeting. coronavirus news now india of course which is now approaching $20000000.00 confirmed cases of covert $1000.00 since the pandemic began another 368000 in the

past 24 hours another well over 3400 deaths as well and worse still experts believe those numbers of yet to pay but with numbers telling the big story we mustn't lose sight of this reality this is a hospital in bangalore ruin the southern state of cannot these bodies being taken away 24 people died there when the hospital ran out of oxygen has also been queues outside the hospital distressed patients and family members people have even been dying in these cues as they waited to get mislead and then inside hospital staff fanning patients with whatever's on hand trying to keep them alive or at least comfortable it's not just a shortage of oxygen or hospital beds indiscriminate or ian's are overwhelmed but the staggering number of people that are dying in the past 2 weeks there have been 40190 covert related deaths in india and that's just the official number. meanwhile india's top court has urged around ramadi government to consider

a lockdown to curb the rising number of cases it's also issued a directive to ensure hospitals are well equipped and it wants a national new national policy on admissions within 2 weeks the support is from elizabeth or ana now in new delhi. relatives of patients who died when this hospital's oxygen supply ran out overcome with grief. foraging for. my boy had recovered 75 percent oxygen was a bailable he would have survived but without oxygen last night he died and the. others vent their anger at hospital staff in the state of karnataka one man said his brother called him at midnight asking for help on one of the. because a call at midnight that he's not getting his oxygen supply he got married just 2 months ago now who look after his family. cannot occur is one of india's

richest states but also one of the worst affected few places in the country have been spared by the 2nd wave of the virus the capital new delhi set up its 1st oxygen generation plant after more than 50 patients died when their supply ran out . so in the us where we really had completely depended on supply chains and cylinders then these problems are bound to days it is a great idea to overcome that problem you have created an oxygen generation plant here in simple words it is a kind of oxygen concentrate don't only with greater capacity. oxygen concentrations continue to arrive along with other international aid trains are being used to transport cryogenic tankers with liquid oxygen to those states hardest hit by the virus the government to the expanded the vaccination program to include everyone above the age of 18 but there are shortages of doses to. people have been waiting in a line outside this center for hours the vaccines arrived late and the process is

taking much longer than expected and that's only leading to more frustration for people standing in queues were probably social distancing isn't possible. gladwin reality like hundreds of others waited for more than 3 hours for his jab i feel. this indeed is the main issue because people have been waiting here since morning they would go in there describe it open up at 10 o'clock but they have been here like. 9 o'clock and now we are getting you know are going to try to get in in some sides vaccinations were delayed because of a lack of health care workers to administer them to ease the pressure on the health care system and the u.s. supreme court has asked the government to consider imposing and nationwide lockdown but not before making arrangements for india's hundreds of millions of daily wage earners who must work every day to survive elizabeth purana al-jazeera new delhi

now health officials in yemen are reporting very low turnout for curvy 1000 bags and asians received its 1st shipment of vaccines in late march thanks to the global kovacs vaccine sharings. yemenis in the southern city of tire use move with purpose not pausing for fear there on one of the front lines in the country 6 year war or for fear of a global pandemic they march on well versed in surviving alone. there is bad news for these nurses it'll cost but there are no queues for the vaccine despite a spike in fictions last month a mon norrish population and a whole board health system. is yemen's 3rd largest city and has 4 ventilators grandpa got him and. i was surprised when i came to the medical center and found a motor now that i got vaccinated along with my whole family and we were entirely convinced because the pandemic is widespread and symptoms are more intense. human

was given 360000 doses of the astra zeneca vaccine 5 weeks ago through the global kovacs vaccine sharing scheme 70000 were delivered to tire. but then at that. we started on april 21st but the donald has been very low one reason is a religious belief that many people have taking a shot in the. fast it's wrong but that has led many people not to come that includes many health workers in human streets masks a rear room is a not. trivial problem there is still a lot of uncertainty about the vaccine maybe it'll succeed or maybe it will fail. to get. a good effect by coronavirus i took natural herb's and spices that's what

our ancestors used i recovered one of us dies only when his time is come those red izzy's is only affect the rich where not among them. that scene fears are spreading on social media people are more scared of the vaccine than the virus and demand of society society needs more awareness and more education that this vaccine is not as dangerous and does not cause blood clots as it's been circulated. yemen a country of nearly $30000000.00 people will receive $1900000.00 doses through the codex skiing this year but at this rate maybe that will be a surplus seana bellus al-jazeera an update on the world weather is next and then troubles mount 4000000 miles military a rebel group shoots down a ministry helicopter and hollywood brings out the stars and a president and royalty to raise money for corona virus vaccines.

ally once again still no shortage of heat across much of the a middle east but we have got some rather wet weather to northern parts of the regime faded a cloud just around turkey easing over towards the black sea the caspian sea in nature some wet weather there into northern parts of iran easing over towards afghanistan as we go on into well whedon stay well iran becomes a little more active just around the caucuses so we could see some snow here over the higher ground in that rain just draped over towards that's eastern side of turkey still plenty of warmth just around the levant getting up into the other the mid to high twenty's for many maybe touching 30 degrees celsius around that eastern side of the mediterranean heat inland 40 celsius to kuwait to 39 in baghdad not to fall shy of that here in doha with a high of around 37 celsius further south as generate dry we have seen flooding

race leads eastern parts of yemen western areas could still see a few showers as we go on through the next day or so joining up with that the shabby rain that we have around the theo p. and highlands and those showers continue all the way across into the gulf of guinea so heavy showers continue across attention there in northern parts of mozambique madina see a little bit of what weather grassy making its way towards southern parts of south africa. frank assessments there are a lot of poison but the government used one exactly how and one measure never taking for a situation like i'm not to believe you could ever get informed opinions is the u.s. with thinking the military positioning of the middle east wasn't just a simple act of reorganizing ministry assets this is a message to the region the united states years are rethinking its military posture in-depth analysis of the day's global headlines inside story on al-jazeera.

the top stories this hour on al-jazeera britain's foreign secretary is hosting the 1st face to face meeting of g 7 foreign ministers in 2 years he held sideline talks with the u.s. secretary of state antony blinken the pair singling out russia and china for breaking international norms india's reported more than $300000.00 new coronavirus infections for another day that's 12 in a row and the official death toll is now around 219000 the experts say the true figure is likely to be much higher and health officials in yemen are reporting very

low turnouts for covert 19 banks and oceans yemen got its 1st shipment of vaccines back in late march but it's struggling to administer the actual doses. to colombia where the finance ministers resigned following days of violent protests against proposed tax increases that these 9 people have been killed in the last week demonstrations have continued as well even after president said he would make changes to the plan that. he now in bogota what happened alessandro thought that president pulling back the reforms might have been enough but the finance ministers gone as well. yes that's another victory for the protesters and now so far we know that the finance minister has presented his resignation to president look at this not announce that resignation it clear if you has accepted it or not we understand that you would like to keep the minister in

place but that's probably a nonstarter if the government that wants to begin negotiating a new version of the reform with their political parties not only in its correlation but in congress in general because the current reform the one that sparked these protests that has been matched with wide spread opposition including inside the party of president. but this by these victories and part of the protesters demonstrations have continued in the country has lived through another very tense night particularly once again and colombia's 3rd largest city kollywood there were a number of clashes between protesters and the police and where unfortunately another 2 protesters have been killed or have been shot to doing these protests

during the night 6 days into these protests is still clear exactly how many people have died doing the protests there are different numbers 9 people have been confirmed so far 8 protesters and one policeman i'm part of the but human rights organizations say they're investigating more deaths so a very volatile situation that will most likely continue this by the withdrawal of the reform. thank you. one of the most powerful rebel groups the independent says it has shot down a military helicopter neither to. the fighting between the army and ethnic armed groups is only intensified since the military seized power back in february so it is monitoring this one from thailand and has more on the claims made by the rebel group. that's from the kitchen independence army and they're one of the largest

most powerful ethnic armed organizations inside myanmar and they have claimed that they shot down this helicopter they're saying it was a most likely a shoulder launched guided missile that brought down this helicopter there claiming we haven't heard anything from the tatmadaw that's the official name for the military in myanmar this is part of this escalation we've seen of fighting between armed ethnic organizations they really occupy the borderlands or are surround the center parts of myanmar there are many different groups but the kitchin independence army is one that has really kind of been engaged in heavier battles more frequent battles with the army since the coup on february 1st so this is i guess kind of of the latest round if you will they claim pretty soon after i would say maybe 2 or 3 hours after they said they brought down this helicopter which was 10 am this morning that they did in fact bring it down this again they say is retaliation for airstrikes that happened overnight sunday into monday today and

then also on monday morning they said they were tabulated because the helicopter involved was attacking position their positions but also they said that earlier in the day there were fighter aircraft doing the same turkey's foreign minister says he hopes to see an end to the presence of foreign mercenaries in libya. leading a high level delegation for talks with the unity government took his defense minister and intelligence chief are also with him. deeply involved in libya after backing the un recognized government of national accord against the wall owed money for half of it trying to has more from tripoli. we heard there's them on google she's libya's 1st female foreign minister discussed to reiterate how important tricky relationship with libya is she went on to say that we should. turkey is extremely important to the successfulness of the cease fire that's currently ongoing libya currently has

a cease fire. that was able to lead to this political to a political resolution brought in this interim government so tricky has played a critical role in balancing the power of course signed a maritime security agreement with libya in 2019 months after warlord khalifa haftar launched a military campaign on the capital tripoli i think this is really a really important meeting just it's just the amount of visuals that actually came you had the foreign minister the minister of interior the mr defense chief of staff of the military head of national security. political or political party members so you know just shows how how investiture key is and libya and how they want to grow their influence in the country and throughout africa and i think this this visit really shows that chad's military action to has formed

a new transitional government with the opposition is rejecting it the new leadership includes ministers from the late president's cabinet and some opposition figures but the opposition critics say they want all members of the old regime out of the picture chad has been facing increased political turmoil since the death of the former president when he was visiting the frontlines last month. german prosecutors say they've busted one of the biggest online platforms for child pornography the site hosted on the so-called dark net had more than 400000 registered members already say users shared images of severe sexual abuse police arrested 3 germans suspected of being the site administrators in april and raided several properties a leaked report into the death of argentine football legend diego maradona has found his medical team acted in a quote inappropriate deficient and reckless manner his death at the age of 60 from heart failure last year shocked his adoring of bands in argentina and prompted

national mourning prosecutors launched investigations into marriage on his medical team after accusations of negligence police raided the home of his personal doctor who denied any wrongdoing the report though says maradona became seriously unwell for 12 hours before his death and was not properly monitored by medics before his heart attack occurred it is more from teresa bone marrow donors family are calling for an investigation. even though my law though and i suffer from abuse to drugs and alcohol and other illnesses what his family is saying that there was something else something else happened that led to his death and that's why they requested an investigation and that's why prosecutors requested and created a board of 20 doctors and experts to investigate my own us house and to investigate how my brother has medical team for a feed what we know is that in the 70 page medical report where they are saying is that my mother has suffered 4 to 12 hours prior to his death that he agonized due

to lack mental faculties in order to decide what was happening to him and to decide what needed to be done to him and also that had he been in the hospital he slides could have been saved and this is important because the well my own eyes doctors had been requested his medical team for him to be hospitalized and his medical team did not want that to happen in fact in some audio recordings that appeared in this during this investigation you can hear his lawyers and his doctors saying that meadow and i needed to stay in a house and not taking to a hospital because jobs where i'd risk and that's what i don't as doctors are saying that while taking care of him economic interests were much more important that i might have known as well being and overall this full report said that there was negative sense that there was recklessness and that he might have known i was not well taken care of prior to his death
