now, more than ever, the world needs w way, turn, making a healthier world for you. everyone ah, seeking a united stand against the current of virus turbines goal as he sets off for europe on as fast for interest as us present. ah, there i missed the pay and this is out of their life. and also coming up we have the latest on a court hearing aimed at permanently batting an organization in jail. russian opposition, politician election evolving job was making up got us on

a safe place. work is carrying land, mines, killed and a gun attack. and the one ton one came back to life after being frozen for 24000 years in a siberian river. ah, now us president joe biden is on his way to the u. k. on his 1st official trip abroad. and he seeking a strong statement from the leaders on the fight against the corona virus. this 10 day trip takes and named her g 7 summits as well as talks with russia about my prison in switzerland. it's a john to biden, to show all the wild leaders that the u. s. values. it's partners and allies. after for rocky is on the donald trump as alan fisher reports now from washington, dc. 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 is life deliberately disruptive. donald trump repeatedly confronted other wild leaders of a trade climate change and even the prospect of bringing russia but into the g 7 group. what happened under the trump administration 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. trav 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, etc. 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, the relationships that were taken for granted will continue as they always have fighting. the biggest challenge will be his summit with russian president vladimir putin. a man he suggested, is a killer, a man. he believe 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 relationship. 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 leaders, hope they're gathering will send a message. things are getting back to normal,

your bite and believes he is to send the same message. after 4 years of donald trump. he's just left from join air force base andrews. heading to his summit in the united kingdom. he said as he left that this was to show china and russia, the america and the you are united, but there is a problem. and the problem is over a global vaccination. go by and talked about weaving, global parking for back some issues that you said, hold on a 2nd, that's a really bad idea. first of all, it means that the people will 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 one democratic congressman. while there is a threat of covert somewhere in the world, there's a 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 vaccine . the well joe biden, if you remember, said that he tends to give 25000000 those. those is a vaccine away by the end of june. he'd like to see that number increase to 80000000 as quickly as possible. it's a start for many, but across the g 7 and across the you, people believe that there should be a concerted plan to make sure that the poorer countries were vaccination rate or 2 percent or lower are given the chance of catching up with the developed world where these vaccines have been put together. a russian court, meanwhile, as hearing a petition to outlaw political organisations linked to jailed opposition. neither election valley if approved and band nevada,

these allies from running and parliamentary elections later this year. the case has been brought by moscow's top prosecutor, who is accused of the de supporters of trying to launch a revolution. the criminal critic is currently serving a 2 and a half year prison sentence, a parole violations related to an embezzlement convention. conviction. when i spoke to mark kind of come skis and non resident senior fellow at the atlantic council, he says by now the rational physician knows that the ultimate aim of the criminal is to crush them altogether. 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 they're 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. all then is 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 that method has regularly clashed with prime minister eddie rama. the top court will now have to decide whether to back is impeachment within 3 months.

johns radcliffe has this update for us from the capital toronto 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 result of the vote to the constitutional court. it is 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 acts. if this is over, told him to express the will essentially a prime minister at the robber and the socialist party. it is days has been the motive 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. as 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 parliaments recession in june of 192 to begin the process of removing him. he censured the president in that session that the time so we still have a ways to go and legal and constitutional terms. united nations is warning of a major loss of life and eastern me on more if no immediate action is taken. it's accusing security forces of indiscriminate as strikes against civilians. armed groups have been resisting the military jones, which has crackdown, understand since seizing power back in february. now we're getting a porch. 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 8

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 when are also getting more of a sense of how difficult life has become for protest in myanmar and how they're trying to escape the violence that scott high, the reports on the town of may thoughts on the border with thailand where there's going underground network that's helping people to get away. hugging the marie river border, the city of may soft 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 mar. he's also assisting the growing number of protestors 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 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 tunnel 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 is out for the military in judo like we are, we will be a criminal even if we save a picture of the phone with the situation. me and me are 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 hyler al jazeera. well still ahead here on al jazeera, a reminder from the un. another health baffled it's deadline to rid the wilds of h. i v and a lot of friends say it's a triumph. it's welcoming back tourists, but with safeguards against curve and 19

ah, ah hello, nice to see you. our plum rains are really defined as we head toward thursday, falling along against the river valley over the east, trying to see and shoving all that rain into the korean peninsula. i think any of these spots here could see about 50 millimeters of rain. it will eventually make it to q issue as we head toward friday, saturday, but by and large, most of japan will duck in dodge this rain. the philippines really locked into wet and humid weather. so we've got some pulses of heavy rain toward dafoe stretching all the way north to lose on island, on thursday. ok for southeast asia or heavy pulses of rain or for southern areas of indo china thunderstorm, sochi, men city called the poor singapore as well. and dang toward the south. we've got

some boats of whether, you know, the southwest monsoon is starting to advance into mon buys or heaviest rains will now be well by south dakota. and really though, for the southeast, we'll get into some drive periods. janai sunshine, $37.00 degrees are monsoon range really impacting the mar, we've seen a deluge that's led to flooding and young gone off to them. the lease right now we've got a brisk wind coming down the gulf. so that's kicking up the sand in does kuwait, we're going to see wind gusts to about 70 kilometers per hour and we've got a high of $46.00 degrees on thursday. the be part of the debate itself does seem to end closing in the us or in the u. k, because it will just come back again when no topic is off the table. but we wanted to talk about where the man is white man talking loud and clear where a global audience becomes a global community,

jumping to the comment section. and part of those discussion there are like kinetic efforts to silence fell opinions on the online faith on al jazeera oh, a holiday watching out of here. and that's remind you about top stories for us. president joe biden is heading to the u. k. as part of his 1st official trip abroad, that 10 day trip to europe will take in nato and g 7 summit, as well as talks with russia's president. and meanwhile, the russian court, hearing a petition to outlaw political organizations linked to jails, opposition the, the election evolving, if approved, it will ban of all these allies from running and parliamentary elections later this

year. now benny is parliament has versus impeach president in the matter. it follows an investigation that concluded he should be removed from violating the constitution. the president's role is considered a political but matter has regularly clashed with prime minister eddie roma. nice 10 workers carrying land mines in northern afghanistan has been killed. the government is blaming the taliban, but it denies responsibility. please say. gunman entered the captain baghlan province and opened fire violence has increased in that area. and recently i spoke to james cohen, the chief executive of the hello trust, who those mine work is working for. he says the taliban came to the aid and does not think the armed group is responsible for the 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 on and just kind of some is at the moment, most of our work across country we can operate safely. what seems to happened is that this group entered, they wanted to find specific people, the particular ethnic group, and then they murdered 10 of them. and wounded 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 loss 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 where we were enough kind of done long before 911. we've been going in

afghanistan since 988. we've worked 3 different regimes. different phases of us can history and we are determined to carry on our work. appalls have just closed across mongolia where voters are choosing the 6th democratically elected president. and this expect that the ruling mongolian people's party will consolidate power. following a campaign, hunted by covered 19 restrictions, mama ginger reports voters and mongolia going to the poles to choose their new presidents. this is the 1st vote to take place after constitutional amendment stripped the presidency of some of its powers, restricting office holders to a single 60 year term, and the nation's 3rd election to take place in the shadow of the cobra. 1900 pandemic. at a polling station in the capital voters had their temperature scanned and observed social distance thing. saw the means doctor who i really hope that the new president i chose today will never economy back on its feet is due to the corona

virus. pandemic, the mongolian economy is really struggling. it almost fell on its knees. we'll see if to hook unemployment of an urgent matter that needs an immediate solution. so in order to do that for an investment is very important. so i really hope the new but i didn't, i chose today will improve mongolia, reputation abroad and bring in more for an investment. the ruling mongolians people party is looking to consolidate power with former prime minister, who cannot grill so widely considered the front runner. in a campaign speech, he emphasized the importance of self sufficiency from mongolia it. each year we spend around $1500000000.00 american dollars on buying petrol from outside our country. if this money stays in mongolia, the u. s. dollar exchange rate will drop tremendously. the true grit currency value will strengthen. we will not need to worry about petrol pace. another concern is political instability, which continues to be a problem for

a young democracy. that after decades of communist rule passed its 1st constitution in 1990 to amnesty international, his voice concerned about ongoing suppression of descent saying the election will take place amid a worrying human rights situation. sentiment echoed by the opposition democratic party presidential candidate at a campaign rally in the run up to the vote. your about today's mongolia, in spite of being a democratic country is now seeing a new oppression taken place. political abuse will become too much. that is why the democratic party being the main opposition for nationwide has decided to bring forth the idea of mongolia without oppression. mongolia, with democracy, some political activists believe the elections aren't even legal. no longer mom julia has been a democracy for 31 years, but nothing goes as it should fairly nothing. and a real democratic way, according to laws. the laws just not implemented to mongolia which often finds

itself in a political and economic tug of war between china and russia. as a population of around 3300000 people. with inequality being a major concern among voters and the country battling a resurgence of corona virus infections. a key question will be just how much new president will be able to turn things around. how many jim jones visited his really forces have ordered a health organization in the occupied westbank to shop at opperation. for 6 months . the offices of the health work committee were rated and then forced closed by military decree. some of the organisation senior employees have recently been arrested. the engineer operate several clinics in the west bank and gaza that serve more than 400000 people. while the united nations is pressing a target to rid the wiles of h i. v and aids by 20 fancy at once to prioritize treatment and 95 percent of people affected. 165 nations voted in say that just for against the head of the u.

n. aids agency, once governments to recognize what needs to be done to address the problem. the if you do under knowledge piece is clear. inequalities in power, while in status in rights and voice, driving the h, i. v, pandemic inequalities kill. as the global a strategy sits out to end aid. we have to end the inequalities, which perpetuate or in the philippines, a try. the response efforts have been hit by the coven. 19 pandemic figures show a decrease in h. i. v testing as well as a decline, and then the number of people finding out for treatment that kind of means has the fastest growing h i v epidemic in asia on the pacific. well, i spoke to shawn and hate as she's the deputy executive director of un aids. she says, the targets that are still attainable, despise arise, and infections. and some of the while now it's true that we have not met as

a globe are 2020 goals. but we have seen countries who have met and surpassed. they are 2020 goals based on that. so we know it's possible. it's really inequality. some countries in some populations that are being left behind. so we are setting really bold, 2025 goals that will help us both catch up from what we've lost during covert and also close these inequality. so everybody who needs services needs help with prevention, can get what they need to stay healthy. you know, one reason that there are disparities in inequality may be response can be services aren't there, aren't being provided in ways that are useful and accessible to the people who need the most. but other reasons can really be because the legal framework, the violence, the gender inequality, are such that their societal barriers to people who are most affected,

also accessing services and being able to be empowered to take the measures to prevent h id. now microscopic one has come back to life after being frozen for 24000 years in siberia. scientists dug up the animal from the foil of a river and the northern russian region of chia known as the delaware to roosevelt . the multi failed organism is able to withstand extreme cold and earliest study and in 2018 revived other further lines from a different area in siberia. that was 30000 years old. i spoke to timothy bartlett, he's a professor of evolutionary biology more than college and he says the dela rosa is known to survive extreme circumstances. these animals, they, they live in extreme habitat. so they live in places where there war to drive out occasionally where it praises occasionally and so they do have a very high ability to survive those kinds of stresses as far as we know,

they're all pretty male. so they, they lay eggs, a direct copy of the, of the mother. borrowing a few mutations. it's very unusual. it should put them in a big disadvantage, but somehow as a, as a big group with lots of species, they appear to be able to do this. that's one of the questions that scientists are interested in understanding about them. the difficulty is that cellular life, i mean, ice breaks down cells. and so most things you would expect that after this length of time, they would not be viable anymore. and so there shouldn't be too much risk from that, but i mean, certainly the, the de permafrost is, is melting in these areas, if they really are organisms being able to survive for such long periods. and potentially would be releasing more of those. i think at this point, it still seems likely that most animals would not be able to survive. and, and i still have some questions whether these,

whether these rotors have actually survived for this long way. while russia is reopening, special corona virus. hospital is often upsurge and infections there. more than 60000 cases have been recorded just in the past week. moscow's man says 10000 hospital beds currently occupied with cobra. 1900 patients and more field hospital involving bills. cases are also surging in some pieces bag as the city proposed to host games for the delayed euro 2020 football tournament. meanwhile, the e u has endorsed vaccine certificates for travel within the european block, and comes with france opens its borders to foreign tourists. as long as they've had a corona, virus vaccine. the government has now removed the need for the 1900 tests for vaccinated europeans, as well as so called greenness countries. other visitors still need to provide a negative test. and so these new rules will help boost tourism. one essence,

we see this as a renee suddenly after a year and a half when we've practically been in a coma, this announced reopening is an extraordinary ray of sunshine. what's an extraordinary is that we've moved from an excessive pessimism to an optimism that can also be a bit. successes will alley i spoke to simon, colder. he is the travel editor of the independent and he says, european countries are now competing for tourists. very countries believe that it's exactly the right moment, as the vaccines are being rolled out across europe, yet most people would like they are desperate and you have a competition or right now where they get your destination in the world with it. and they, and of course for you carry, which normally i'm in the house of love and just outside the fridge and they will be in the middle east, asia for booth america. i'm 0 thing. the energy,

the me get that huge concerns about the business is i'm to 2023. assuming that the world is much calm about that should be the ever be a lot of people have dreams that have the money they got, but they would like to use that. and that some of that is the reason why the european countries, while they kind of think the key for current of unified e to travel directory all trying to get me in operation on the search bar to be really improving. particularly those very concerned about the dealt with the very, very prevalent now in the u. k. well, me more extraneous 2nd largest said he will end its latest cove in 1900 lockdown on

friday. people in melbourne will have spent 2 weeks inside. some restrictions on travel and home gatherings will likely remain low for another week. almost 70 people were infected after a returning traveler, quote, the virus in quarantine. while this pandemic has put a lot of pressure on frontline staff and an engineering firm in hong kong says it has a plan to ease the burden. they've designed a human like robot named grace, who has a family camera on her chest to take temperatures and measure responsiveness. she uses artificial intelligence to diagnose the patients and can also speak english, mandarin, and cantonese. the company's found a says she can interact with those who have been isolation because of cause of 19 i can visit with people and brighten their day with social stimulation, entertainment, help guide exercise, but also can do talk therapy by our readings and help health care providers assess their health and deliver treatment. so he designed grace to look

a professional and health care setting. so that would mean that she would resemble the sort of human like a parents of health care stuff. and so then this would facilitate more natural interaction. a human like appearance facilitates trust and facilitate natural engagement because we're wired for human face to face interaction. that's just the way the human beings are. and so giving her a face that would be familiar to people, comforting to people and also language abilities that are comforting ah, hello there, this is al jazeera and these are the headlines. the us president joe biden is on his way to the u. k. as part of his fast official trip abroad, that 10 day trip to europe will be biden's fast international trip as president, and also takes in nato and g 7 summit, as well as talks with rushes about him. a person in switzerland. alan fisher has
