a magic bullet in the short term but he did stress ahead of saturday's talks in porto that the use ready to engage on that matter is soon as a concrete proposal is put forward with that might happen fairly soon but that proposed that prospect worries some countries in the u. the french president and many will mark or sit somewhere perhaps in the middle in the last couple of hours he said that the peyton's issue is not the priority right now there is other work which needs to be done sooner than you would have on clear they ask a successful. we should work towards the vaccine becoming a global public product what does that mean firstly producing more that's why i'm calling directly on the united states to end the export ban on the vaccines but also on the components of these vaccines which is preventing production so clearly mark or saying that more needs to be done in terms of allowing exports he was rather on the defensive in the press conference asked about the e.u.

reaction and the vaccine rollout for example what he said if the block was slow last year to start it's a vaccine rollout or to get procurement that was because it was so generous he says that heart of the 400000000 doses of vaccines produced in the e.u. have been exported outside the block and he's saying that it's time for the us and the united kingdom to take similar steps. well the number of recorded infections in brazil since the start of the pandemic is top 15000000 almost 79000 cases were confirmed in the past 24 hours in the country that has the 2nd highest death toll in the world brazil's top court approves a criminal investigation into president child boss nora's handling of the pandemic could lead to his impeachment families in peru are being forced to consider burying their loved ones at home as cemeteries are overrun april has been its deadliest month since the start of the pandemic with one person die every 4 minutes experts

is being questioned charles stratford reports from bishkek. in the aftermath of the worst fighting between kyrgyzstan and tajikistan since the border dispute started 30 years ago one question is being asked louder than others how did you stand launch what analysts say was a well planned military operation while on the same day this was happening in the taxi capital to john by a russian defense minister sergei sure go meeting his tactic and killed his counterparts at a meeting of the collective security organization that's led by russia that seems to say something either about the complicity of russia or relative remove of russia from what's going on in central asia or maybe some other sinister interests being played out in moscow and that's the 1000000 dollar question a statue of lenin in the cutest capital bishkek the soviet union is no more but

russia remains both kyrgyzstan and tajikistan's number one ally and rewards them if they do what moscow wants kyrgyzstan's relationship with russia has suffered in recent years analysts say the moscow is unhappy with a decade and a half of political instability including 3 revolutions and some say the kremlin is concerned about the new president leaning too much towards its rival china. president so there was a part of has for many killed is to conciliate story towards to stand after at least $34.00 of the estimated 50 people killed in the fighting were courteous but he needs russia's support to deescalate the situation and help find a lasting solution russia has called for calm and negotiations but some analysts say it's relatively weak response maybe because of what's happening in another of tajikistan's neighbors afghanistan. nato pulling out of

afghanistan means the importance of stand for russia is growing as you can stand as russia's 1st line of defense both kyrgyzstan stand host russian military bases italy one until you can stand as well important because russia understands that have to stand explodes because of spillover from afghanistan then the whole region could follow this doesn't mean that as you can stand has the right to conduct what was a planned military operation on the curator's borders and russia will not outright condemn it the curious flag flies over bishkek but many are wondering how kyrgyzstan until you can stand it can reach a lasting solution to their border dispute and whether their mutual ally can or indeed wants to help chance trafford al-jazeera bishkek the scottish national party cybersecurity a majority in the country's parliament hangs in the balance several key seats are yet to be declared party leader nicolas sturgeon wants to seek

a 2nd referendum on scottish independence if it gets the seat u.k. prime minister brian johnson says a 2nd vote would be irresponsible reckless scots rejected independence by 10 point margin in $2014.00 in edinburgh and he says the s.n.p. looks set to push for a referendum. it is still just about possible for the s.n.p. the scottish national party to secure an outright majority even if by only one seat it is more likely that they will but this election would have returned a majority for independence with the s.n.p. bolstered by the pro depends greens 1st minister s.n.p. leader nicolas sturgeon made comments in the last 24 hours making it abundantly clear what she intends to do with that majority she will govern this country she said through the pandemic in 2 economic recovery and then at some point after that offer the country she said the choice of a brighter future in other words independence from the u.k. the plan seems to be that at some point in the next 2 or 3 years she will use that

majority to legislate in the scottish parliament here for a 2nd referendum to take place it would then be for the government of westminster boris johnson to respond either to agree to it which seems highly unlikely or negotiate some sort of settlement short of independence or as he has suggested he might take scotland to the supreme court on the basis that this parliament doesn't have the power to legislate for constitutional change which seems clear in all of this is that the drive for independence is very much back on track as a result of this election and set to dominate the politics both sides of the border for years to come. england has unveiled a green list of 12 countries where residents can visit without going into quarantine when they return the new rules come into effect on may the 17th and will mean international travel will no longer be illegal australia and new zealand are on the list even though they've both closed their borders to u.k. tourists european union plans to allow tourism from countries with learn facts rates by mid june well virginia messina is the managing director of the world

travel and tourism council and she says the measures are too cautious. and we certainly welcome any positive step towards the reopening of international travel but unfortunately we don't believe it is or not i mean our sector has been devastated by this pandemic as we know and more than 62000000 jobs have been lost globally so even the advanced and rate of the vaccination rollout here in the u.k. were hoping they would take a bit more of a risk based approach and hoping to see more countries particularly and the market within the e.u. and also the u.s. in that relist i mean 2020 the global economy suffered a drop of 3.7 percent in g.d.p. travel and tourism g.d.p. dropped by 49 percent so that's kind of the difference between the impact of your sector i mean this crisis has hit is 18 times harder than the global financial

crisis so i mean it's certainly devastating wherever you see it across all of the different industries i mean airlines hotels absolutely and not only that but also yes indeed that are the backbone of this sector and all of the small businesses that are owned by women and other minorities that have been disproportionately affected by this crisis so unless we see very clear bold steps towards a reopening of travel in a safe way and all of these devastating hardship is going to continue an armed group has occupied a market 1000000 the now in the southern philippines what could become a standoff with the army more to islamic freedom fighters open foreign civilians according to witnesses local people say they were only able to flee with the help of the military the rebel group broke off from the larger border islamic liberation front of the peace talks with the government. bolivia and chile have entered a broad agreement to normalize the long strained relations covers

fall anywhere on earth a dream brown has this report now from hong kong. china's space program has traveled a long way very quickly as it races to catch up with other nations but as the rockets and what they carry get bigger so to the debris they leave behind. more than a week ago a chinese long march 5 rocket was launched from heinen island carrying part of the country's 1st permanent space station. after its separation from the maggio the rocket began to orbit the earth in an ump land trajectory as it slowly lost altitude now a 30 meters section is hurtling towards earth a 29000 kilometers an hour the u.s. military is tracking its progress we don't have a plan to shoot the rocket there were hopeful that that will land then in a place where. or harm anyone. awfully in the ocean or someplace

like that under international guidelines rockets are supposed to return to earth in a controlled way but that's not happening this time i'm afraid of the remaining pockets of the rocket is right now without control but it has its trajectory and it has its old process re entering into the atmosphere and hopefully it will lead laterally without causing any damage or injury china makes no secret about its space ambitions over the next 18 months at least 10 more launches a planned to support its space station program here on earth cold war politics means that china can cooperate. with other countries in space that's because the united states continues to bar china from participating in the international space station also backed by other countries who have relations with beijing right now.

china wants to become a major space power by 2030 and has demonstrated this in recent years with visits to the moon the launch of a non crude probe to mars and now the beginnings of its 1st fully operational space station adrian brown al-jazeera hong kong. don't pluckers the professor of astrophysics at the university of work in the u.k. he says scientists really cannot say where this will land but it is extremely unlikely to injure anybody there are predictions right now where it's going to. the areas or so large that it really could hear most anywhere or truck. so the contradictions are somewhere near you zealand probably a 1000 miles away from new zealand but really that's just an approximate location and it could be anywhere from well from the trade to. the water to china itself really don't know because it all depends on the state the atmosphere at that

time and and the orientation of the rocket when it hits you atmosphere and things like that so normally when you launch into low earth orbit he use of a booster that doesn't actually attending sufficient the last 3 to go into war itself so you would launch it in a safe mode east coast of the u.s. and the rocket would just fall into the atlantic in this case it was launching a large part for the 1st part of the charlie space station and so it had to have to be a big rocket to get that last part into orbit and for whatever reason it managed to tie in just about the time lost the going to war with itself but the although it's reached is a very little shuttle and so what that means is that it ends up brushing into the atmosphere for a part that will be which slows it down slightly slightly and so consequently the orbiter carries or quickly.

this is out there these are the top stories and at least 40 people have died after multiple blast in the capital of couple explosions happening there a school in the air dashed it but she in western couple children were leaving at the time of the explosion from her concert a 40 has more from the afghan capital. so you know they're packing up and they're around 5 30 pm kabul time this is because i'm one student what senator in the cockpit and we're heading home and we're talking about hundreds that you're sending who are that kind. according to eyewitnesses they were 3 explosions that happened back to back of the time again this according to eyewitnesses that we're talking about girls who were putting king started running around crying calling for their mothers and others were trying to transfer as many as they could to hospital.
