me, you want to help save the world. sneeze into your own. ah, ah, me. this is al jazeera. ah, hello there, mr. attain, this is the news i live from headquarters here in durham, coming up in the next 60 minutes. joe biden said sophie, europe on his 1st foreign trip as presidents on the agenda of strengthening alliances. packing the corona virus 10 to a court hearing, seeking to permanency ban jail's russian opposition, leader electron about need organization is under way in moscow. the un says

violence and eastern man law could cause a massive loss of life beyond anything since the military power and albany as parliament overwhelm the votes. impeach president of allegations of violating the constitution. i'm found almost not have all the fort brazil get a vital when i woke up qualifying and confirmed, participate in the upcoming corporate america despite fears of a boy called ah. 7 ah, me now you as president joe biden is heading to the u. k. as part of his 1st official trip abroad, the 10 day trip to europe will take in nature and g 7 summit, as well as talks with russia is about to be imprisoned in switzerland. as alan fisher of what's now from the white house. it's

a chance for biden to show other world leaders that the u. s. values. it's partners and allies, after full rocky years under donald trump. joe biden firstborn surface president marks and you phase in the corona virus pandemic. and us relations with the rest of the world. after a series of virtual meetings, the heads of the leading 7 global economies will meet face to face in the u. k. at this time, there will be a us president who his life deliberately disruptive. donald trump repeatedly confronted other wild leaders of a trade climate change and even the prospect of bringing russia back into the g 7 group. what happened under the trumpet ministration is that it really shook a lot of countries. views of the united states as a partner, as an ally and part of biden's job is trying to restore those ties, restore that image of the united states and the eyes of those countries. president biden will also meet with nato leaders and aligns donald trump talked about leaving . the argued he was ready to purchase

a traditions and fellow leaders to deliver on his agenda. trump spent 4 years tearing down nato criticizing other countries in europe, suggesting the united states would be better off without it. why are we tied down here, et cetera, et cetera. and so i think biden sees this as an early opportunity in an early public opportunity to demonstrate his personal diplomatic skills. the trump presidency questions challenged up ended many traditional american political and military positions. joe biden might be able to smooth over the cracks, but he can't guarantee that things will be that way after the next election. that relationships that were taken for granted will continue as they always have. biden's biggest challenge will be his summit with russian president vladimir putin . a man, he suggested, is a killer, a man. he believes that behind recent cyber attacks on the us. a man who says america should prepare for some uncomfortable truths at the summit. there are no illusions about the state of the us,

russia relationships. so the number one priority will be to these, put this on a stable and predictable track. need to show that there are real costs and that this is an administration that will stand up to russia's d, stabilizing behavior, or the leaders hope they're gathering will send a message. things are getting back to normal. your bike believes he has to send the same message after 4 years of donald trump. i'm fessor join me now from the white house. and i see by now also has a vaccine plan for the while. he's just left from joint air force base andrews, heading to his summit in the united kingdom. he said, as he left, this was to show china and russia, the america, and the e. you are united, but there is a problem. and the problem is over global vaccination, joe biden, to talk about weaving, global parking for backs and issues. the you said, hold on a 2nd. that's a really bad idea. first of all, it means that the people won't be able to develop these vaccines for weeks,

for months, perhaps even years. and also it means that the intellectual property rights for the drug company isn't protected. they have an alternative plan that they intend to show to do a bite and during the summer, no former leaders of many of the g 7 countries have come together to say that it's time for the e. u and the g 7 to stand up and make sure that poor countries are vaccinated in the was of one democratic congressman. while there is a threat of corporate somewhere in the world, there's a threat to covert everywhere in the world. and so they want to make sure that both the e u at the g 7 and the united states are on the same page when it comes to back. so you think, well, joe biden, as you remember, said that he tends to give 25000000 doses of vaccine away by the end of june. he'd like to see that number increase to 18000000 as quickly as possible. it's a start for many, but across the g 7 and across the

e. u. people believe that there should be a concerted plan to make sure that puter countries where vaccination rates are 2 percent or lower are given the chance of catching up with the developed world. where these vaccines have been put together. with all the laces from biden's departure at the white house. thank you so much, adam. while i'm waiting on an, a russian court is hearing a petition to outlaw political organizations. but a link to jailed opposition needed election evolving. if approved, it would ban of all these allies from running and a parliamentary election later this year. the case has been brought by moscow's top prosecutor, who's accused of all the under supporters of trying to launch a revolution. no criminal critique is having a 2 and a half year prison sentence, parole violations related to an embezzlement, conviction. abandon smith is following all of this forest from moscow. but i know this is a close hearing today, but what do we hearing about just how it's all going?

yes, it's the defense team that is telling the world outside what's happening in the court . the court is being heard. the prosecutor's case were told, is that they are the aim of alexi volunteers, anti corruption organization, the f b k, was to change the constitutional regime and power in the country through a so called color revolution. there were protests in moscow. the started at the end of december 2011 following parliamentary elections widely seen as rigged. and the prosecution says the to achieve these what it calls destructive goals navarro. and these anti corruption organization is forming public opinion that is necessary to change power in the country. and the defense will say, well, yes, that's how democracy works, is how, what the russian constitution says, if you want to change the regime, then you have to persuade people to vote in elections for somebody else. now, novalis organization has already effectively wound itself down in anticipation of the court ruling in favor of the prosecution. all the arguments the defense tried

to make earlier today to have this case thrown out and have been rejected. the court has been listening to the merits of the prosecution case and is expected to deliver a verdict later today than and given how it's all likely to go. what are the practical implications and phone of on the, and all of a supporters we saw election of only a couple of days ago in court. he's just been returned to prison from a prison hospital where he'd been for nearly 2 months after being treated for the consequences of a hunger strike. he started towards the end of march for him and his supporters. it certainly rules out any option of chances. standing in parliamentary elections in september, volunteers in jail anyway serving a 2 and a half year sentence. anybody found supporting his organization of the core bands. it faces up to 10 years in jail. if you fund his organization that's up to 8 years

in jail and what the russian government has done is effectively use the court and parliament to block off any avenues or non government supporting people to stand in elections in september called a couple of weeks ago. paula and passed a law saying if in the last 3 years you've been a support or a member of an extremist organization, you cannot stand in elections that been concerns. the puts in united russia party would do badly in elections of business to try and stop short support vladimir putin himself, though, personally, remains popular or interesting that founded smith across all of that for us from oscar. thank you so much banded. well, let's now dig into this with moxie macowski. he's a non resident senior fellow at the atlantic council. he joins us now from geneva and new york state long, just picking up where bernard left off that wed does. all of us leave the opposition weaver. i mean, effectively it's now movement and exile. how effective can it actually be from you

know, i think the russian opposition has been facing incredible challenges over the last few years. and this is, of course, an attempt by the kremlin to snuff it out. and of course this decision and the legislation was timed very specifically on of, on a birthday on friday. i think the russian opposition knows the challenging landscape. it's there and i don't think there under any illusions of the difficulty in navigating the ability to break in and potentially by electoral means have a change of government in russia. but of course the russian president is focused on, on, as i said, nothing it out. so they're going to have a very challenging landscape in the months and years ahead. part of that landscape can be shaped potentially by western support and pressure that the west places on russia for adhering to its own constitution and trying to facilitate the democratic standards which we all know are non existent in russia. so this is

a challenging landscape and more importantly, i think this is a signal that pollutants sending that is determined to ensure that their e brooks no opposition as he continues and is, is 20 over 20 years in power. so i want to get to the western reaction in a moment, but just in terms of the crackdown that we've been seeing, is there potentially a backlash and the lead up to september could person be miscalculating here? you know, i think prudent feels confident that he navigated both nevada needs a return. no law needs arrest. and of course some of the protests but you know, parliamentary elections are coming in the fall. i don't believe that the russian population is simply going to accept these moves, particularly the population that was willing to come out in the streets in support of all new in his movement. you know, in many ways, some of these steps have galvanized some russian people and trying to showcase the sense. so i do think that there is going to be

a potential response. i wouldn't necessarily call it a backlash. and of course, the regime is prepared for for any contingencies, but again, discontinued, clamped down and removal of any potential for opposition, of course, with the regime labeling any, any potential threat as extreme as even though they don't pursue extremist actions, i think will further showcase to the russian population, the authoritarian nature of the regime, one terrorist and van of the saying that that person is still fairly popular at home. how is he regarded? is he now dealing with all of this, from a place of confidence or from a pace of potential fear and insecurity about his position? i think it's a mixture of both. i think there's of course, consistent concern and fear within the kremlin that the restroom population sees an arrow stagnation, economic decline, extreme political authoritarianism, and not able to provide the,

the russian people kind of a vision for the future. of course, the regime understands this as a part and as a result, the attend by the government is always to showcase a foreign enemy that is to blame for rushes, challenges, and problems at home. and of course, the attempt to label russia zone domestic opposition as funded and supported and driven by western ames. i don't think that's, that's true. i don't think that's the case. but, you know, the, the, the kremlin clearly is trying to showcase that it also is operating from a position of strength. do you have present improvements, meeting with president biden this week if the russian regime was worried somehow about a western backlash. they wouldn't have time this action. so close to this summit, i think the signal that the russian regime imprudent sending to barton is despite your claims of having an interest in a tougher approach to us. russia is going to continue to clamp down on any

opposition home and pursue its interest abroad. and it's ready for an air of competition with the west if necessary. very interesting times i had marked macowski that a non resident senior fellow at the atlantic council. great to get your thoughts here on out there. thanks for joining us again. mark. thanks. well, there's still plenty more here. this needs are including economic pressure and protests for columbia to e is covered, 1900 restrictions despite rising infections. top us up and accuses the night nicaraguan presidents are being a dictator as to more potential challenges are arrested and a couple of 1st time as a heading to the semi finals of the french open. all those details coming up told me ah no albany as parliament has just voted to impeach president india meta and follows

an investigation that concluded he should be voted out for violating the constitution. the president's role is considered a political, but nasa has regularly classed with prime minister at rama. the top court will now have to decide whether or not to back his impeachment within 3 months when john strapless joins us now from the banyan capital tarana. john, what does this mean from f and for being more broadly, is the country now being plunged into some kind of political crisis that could still be a constitutional crisis arising out of this because this is not over. the parliament may have voted to impeach the president, but it is not solely up to the parliament. the parliament will now send the results of the vote to the constitutional court for that court to decide whether the president has to leave office. and that is more complicated matter because the court is non partisan and it has to decide things on strictly legal grounds. so this is not over the political action, this is over tolerant,

has expressed the will essentially a prime minister, the robber and the socialist party. it is they who spend the most in force behind removing president. never, ever since he and prime minister rama broke ranks over a political spat in 2019 about when exactly local government elections should be held. a prime minister rama felt at that time. the president position favored the opposition democratic party ever since then, he vowed to remove him. in fact, he held a parliament recession in june of 192 to begin the process of removing him. he sentient the president in that session that the time. so we still have a ways to go in legal and constitutional terms. so john, how is regarded by the albanian population will boarding well, president is widely regarded as a widely authorized. he is an old hands in the political system. he was prime

minister, a very early age. at the age of 30, he formed his own party. the movements of socialists integration after breaking ranks with the socialist party, where he was originally an n p and prime minister. he then used that party to form coalitions. first with the socialists, of, with a physician, democrats, excuse me, and then with the socialist, he's seen himself as something of a king maker. it may be that because he has been so vested tile, and some people would say fickle and his political relationships and his ability to negotiate deals with other political leaders that he's now seen by prime minister ramos liability. because prime minister rama is a man who wants to concentrate power in his own hands and everything he's done

during his 8 years and has shown that he wants to control the government very closely. he wants to control the parliament quite closely. he doesn't really feel that albania, at this stage, and its development has a lot of room for what we would see as ordinary democratic politics and western democracies. so prime minister on, i think has decided that the time has come to remove the political opponents, essentially as far as the opinion people are concerned. these are the political decisions of a very small group with men that do not involve the public at all. john through office in toronto, the albanian capital, thanks so much john. a matter of loss of life. that's the blunt warning from the united nations on the sheer scale of devastation that people are facing me on my, on the military rule. and then voice has urgent action is needed. now in the eastern state of kaya,

where more than 100000 people fled the conflict. and it's not just the threat of artillery, fire, and strength. now we're getting a porch that they are have little to no water food. there are people getting sick and they have no access to medical supplies. and what we've also learned is that the hunter is blocking roach that could provide to aid organizations and those who are trying to get to them access to these people. and i've also heard a report, a credible report to just to day. but landmines are being laid on the road leading to the forest, where these desperate people are. so we could be looking not only at the impact of the bombing itself, but we could be looking at a significant loss of life. is one of several regions in me where armed groups are fighting back against the military following the crew in february that the deposed electron need on some suit. she writes groups now say at least 849 people. mostly

civilians have died in the unrest she has elses due to go on trial. on monday on a raft of charges that support to say our political motivations for robertson is a deputy asia director with human rights watch. he says it's standard procedure for me on the military to block aid in conflict areas. what we have seen since that i see on meeting was the military has gotten down to business. and in these areas, in eastern chaos state around demo. so township, what we're seeing a standard operating procedure by the men mar military to treat anybody in conflict areas as enemies of the states who can be attacked with impunity. and this is why we're seeing the indiscriminate attacks by air and by artillery, sending in ground troops who, you know, if they see civilians on the ground though, shoot them. and that's why people are fleeing into the jungles to escape these waves of myanmar military coming to try to find the insurgents who previously

attacked them. we believe that there blockading this area. this is again something they do on a regular basis. they will deny humanitarian assistance to any area where they believe there is resistance to their rule. so you know, food is not getting through the potable water medicine. other things that people, nita, people are hiding in the jungles in the middle of the monsoon season. you know, we're dealing with issues there of water born disease is certainly diseases or mosquitoes and other things. people who have been wounded in attacks. we're not getting a treatment. it is a humanitarian disaster. and for the military to block humanitarian aid, getting into that area compounds, the atrocities that they're already committing thailand should open its border and allow for a free flow of humanitarian assistance to go across their argue mandatory in groups in thailand who are prepared to help there are many who are prepared to take that

assistance across. but what we have seen is a real lockdown on the time and mar border by the time military and border patrol. police trying to control and make sure that no one can go back and forth. and you know, that's just odd re reality and then border which is very poor. so there will be people coming across bleeding from the fighting in, in, in chaos, state. oh, and out also getting more of a sense of just how difficult life is become for protest isn't the law and how they are trying to escape the violence. scott, hydro reports on the town of may sot on the border with thailand, where there's a growing underground network to helping people to get away. hugging the boy river border, the city of may sot in thailand has for generations acted as a gateway with neighboring me and mar. it's community spans the border. a shared culture with families living on both sides and in economy routed in cross border trade. but since the coo and me and mar 4 months ago, throwing the country in the crisis,

the priorities for some have shifted. business owners are now helping exiles and descendants escaping the genta, find safe havens seal yolanda we are helping all the people get what they need for some high rank. politicians need to be in a safer situation where they can communicate with the organizations inside and outside of me. and he's also assisting the growing number of protesters finding their way to korean ethnic army camps in the jungle along the border there undergoing self defense and combat training, part of an expanding alliance between those who have been on the streets calling for the military leaders to step down and the arm groups that have been in a decades long fight for more autonomy, su, su, was active during the anti genta protest. she was living with her aunt, a member of the deposed civilian leader on songs to cheese political party. the n l d. sue sue was detained by security forces last month. as soon as she was released she fled. because as she said, police had surrounded her aunt's home,

she used google maps to find her way to the border. we have to stop every entrance of each time that we pass through the immigrants, the immigration officer, the soldier like different uniform, different people. they will check you, show me your id. where are you going? can, can i check your phone the solve for the military judo like we are, we will be a criminal even if we save a picture of the phone with the situation and me and mar, showing no signs of changing more protests like sue sue will continue to be forced to escape any way they can either fling to safety or training to take on the job. got hiler al jazeera, not least 10 workers carrying land mines in northern afghanistan has been killed. the governments claiming the taliban, but it denies responsibility. police, a gunman entered the camp in baghlan province and opened fire violence has

increased in that area in recent months. but i spoke to james cohen, he's the chief executive of the halo trust who those workers were working for. and he doesn't think the taliban is responsible for this attack. i've got the biggest program. we have nearly 3000 and stuff that they were very part of the fact that the africans through employed by us locally that come from all the different communities within afghanistan. and they do amazing work to save lives and we're still livelihoods within that very more effective country, you know, have, are just kind of son is at the moment the most of our work across country we can operate safely. what seems to happen is that this group entered, they wanted to find specific people, the particular ethnic group, and then they murdered 10 of them. and we did the further 16. the local taliban actually came to our assistance and the taliban itself has denied responsibility. so my suspicion is it's

a different organization. i'm not going to speculate who it was. however, you know, we have a lot of people who welcome our work support our working, recognize the need to remove landlines and other explosive hazards in afghanistan. so i don't think it would be profitable at this moment to speculate who exactly it was, but we were not done long before 911. we've been going in afghanistan since 988. we worked 3 different regimes, different phases of african history. and we are determined to carry on our work and now time for the weather in history. hello, we'll talk about major flooding in guy n. m one sec, but 1st toward the bottom end of south america, our fierce swain's toward the falkland islands are now starting to die down said goes for your great months of the day. oh and you know, we do have some rain for southern areas of brazil. so paulo, the umbrella is needed rio de janeiro. it will be optional toward the top end of south america. you know, we've talked about these continuous rains,

look what they have done. this is diana. and this round of flooding, the country's president says, is among the worst disasters to impact the country. thousands of families impacted . hundreds of farms destroyed. and you know, it's ward ecuador, south of the capital kito, we've seen about $400.00 millimeters of rain, central america, heavy pockets of rain out toward the pacific that will impact coastal areas. and for hispanic la on thursday, think port approx about 10 to 15 millimeters of rain some storms. we've seen them roll through the deep south of the us. but toward the southwest we're dealing with drought conditions we're seeing wildfires. this is in arizona, just east of phoenix. it continues to grow and these drought conditions one state over in california, 69 percent increase in wildfires this year compared to last year. and the bulk of the energy for that storm threat will be mostly toward the east of the us on thursday. mostella had here on our 0. what to expect from mongolia is election as voters choose

a new president in the middle of the corona virus pandemic. and wiggling back to life, how a microscopic woman siberia survived a 24000 year old deep for you and, and for a while kept qualifying causes more protests in columbia. details coming up later, this news out. ah frank assessments argument for suggesting that the by the ministrations thing along game, it's very much of a warm embrace the iran nuclear deal because of us domestic politics informed opinions. schools and chelsea have been reduced to rubble. how do you think this shapes the generation and the politics that life has been shape? why vitamin the in depth analysis of the dates global headlines inside story on our jazeera, the demand for low price. clover is accelerating at high speed. that's absolutely

great by 2030, the industry will expand by an additional 60 percent. i'll just take a detailed look at disposal fashion. we handle our exposing the hidden human and environmental costs way with the company. give free what this is. you never know. data said boss fashion, all knowledge of o a hello again. i'm sorry you're trying to remind you about top stories here. the falla us president joe biden is heading to the u. k. fall of his 1st official trip

abroad. a 10 day trip to europe will take nato and g 7. some it's tough talks with russians. president. meanwhile, the russian court is hearing a petition to outlaw political organizations, links to jails, opposition leader, electron evolving, if approved. it will ban of all these allies from running in parliamentary elections later this year. and benny as parliament has voted to impeach president matter and follows an investigation that concluded he should be removed for violating the constitution. the president role is considered a political. the method has regularly clashed with prime minister eddie rama in now the e. u has endorsed a vaccine certificate for travel within the european block, and comes as france opens its borders to foreign tourists as long as they've had a corona virus vaccine there. the government has also removed the need for the 1900 tests for vaccinated europeans, as well as so called green list countries. other visitors, though,

will still need to provide a negative test. it's hope that these new rules will help to boost tourism was that will mean it sounds we see this.
