the g 7 summit on al jazeera. oh, be the hero, the world needs. ah washer in. ah, this is al jazeera ah, you're wanting to move our life from a headquarters, and i'm trying to navigate all coming up in the next 60 minutes. joe biden sets off for europe on his 1st foreign trip as the us president on the agenda are strengthening alliances on tackling the corona virus time. demick. the joe right, and reverse is a ban imposed by donald trump on the popular chinese pick talk. and we have

a court hearing, seeking to permanently ban jailed russian opposition. politician alexis, of all these organisation is underway right now in moscow. the un has violence and eastern me, and mark had caused a massive loss of life beyond anything seen since the military seas power. and we are hardy, with forts tokyo olympic organizers released more details about their coven, 1900 protocol. they've confirmed that all athletes and media will be tracked by gps . ah, hello, welcome to the news our the u. s. president joe biden is on his way to the u. k. as part of his 1st official trip abroad since taking office. well, the 8th day trip takes in the nato and g some it's g 7 summit as well as talks and

rushes. why do we are puting in switzerland? now? biden is aiming to rebuild trans atlantic tie strain during the trump administration. he outlined his hopes for the trip before departing. that'd be the alliance. make it clear. to drive european united states replace. the g 7 is going to both. let's bring an allen fessor. he's joining us in the white house. so talk to us a little bit more about the president's priorities. going into this trip. while for summit 3 countries, i see the face to face meetings with world leaders for the 1st time since the kona virus break. and of course, that all important meeting with letting me put and where he will raise cyber attacks. he will raise interference and us elections and he will raise the important question of human rights. joe biden, firstborn surface president, markson 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. and this time there will be a us president who is less deliberately disruptive. donald trump repeatedly confronted other wild leaders over 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 in 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 push aside 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 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 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 leaders, hope they're gathering will send a message. things are getting back to normal job and believes he has to send the same message. after 4 years of donald trump and alan, shirley cove, it and vaccinations are going to be a key issue of course, because they're going to talk about the economy. how cova does impact to the economy and how they can recover for that, but also vaccines are betty key to the discussions, both with the g 7 and the e. u as well. joe biden was leaving, and he said they wanted to show china and russia that the u. g 7 is very much in that the difficulty is that they're not when it comes to vaccines. joe biden has said, for example, that he wants to see the patent lifted. so the total countries can afford to start a vaccination program. the you says that simply not feasible because it would take months if not years to get those back. seen up and running that you're buying this talks about $25000000.00 is being made available to put or countries by the end of this month with perhaps $800000000.00 if they can get their numbers up and they're

to be annoying going program. so the e u, but particularly the g 7 will be talking about how they can help puter country as one democratic congressman said if there is a fleet up in cove it somewhere in the world, that means that there is a threat across the entire globe. so everyone sees the importance of doing this. the approach is may be different. one thing that, that's why host is key to say is that there will be cooperation between the leaders in the g 7. and also when joe biden meets with you, because that's what joe biden is about, it won't be about confrontation for confrontation sake. these will be a different kind of summit. thank you so much. alan fisher reporting from the white house. let's take a look at biden's trip in a little more detail. his 1st stop on is a day tours in cornwall, not in the 4 far south west of england where he'll meet the british prime minister bores johnson on thursday. and the 2 leaders will attend the annual g 7 summit,

which is being held there over the weekend after that biden will visit queen elizabeth at windsor castle. he last met her in 1982 as a senator from delaware. on monday, the us president travels to brussels for talks with nato and leaders. he's also expected to have a private meeting with turkey's president. he then wraps up the trip with what could be the biggest diplomatic test off the visit at a meeting with the russian leader vladimir putin in geneva. let's discuss this with steve comments. he's the host of al jazeera, the bottom line, and editor at large of the hill. he's joining us in washington. hi there, steve. thanks for your time with us on. i'll just 0. so be president with you. the president wrote an off had a few days ago before his trip in the washington post, and he said that my trip to europe is about america rallying, the world's democracy is how is he going to do that and what would success look like? well, look, president biting is his, you know, i call this the i'm, i'm joe biden, you know, me to or, or the,

i'm not donald trump tour. he's going to go from country to country and some at the summit and including the meeting with vladimir putin and say, look, i'm not donald trump, i'm joe biden. most of the world leaders already known him. as you mentioned about the queen, they've known him for decades. so i think what is going to happen in terms of routing the world's democracies is to make the rally the discussion, particularly in the transit atlantic relationship meaningful and consequential. he's going to talk about the billions of doses that are needed in the developing world. and what the rich parts of the world need to do to do that are also going to talk about the fragility in their security. not just been countries like russia or iran or china, but they're going to look at cyber in those kinds of dimensions as well. and if you know, make, and he's gonna basically say, in contrast to what donald trump nato matters, article 5 matters, one for all and all for one that that kind of gesture to allies is what america is

about and that america is back. i think that's what job i just wanted to do and that meeting with parents and being described as possibly the biggest diplomatic test of the visit. how do you expect it to go? especially in light of a recent cyber where attacks. what do you think that message is going to be that he's going to deliver to putin? well, 1st of all, there'll be no smiles in no chummy handshake. this people have a lot of memory. thinking meeting between president trump and president putin, where they were president trump basically, you know, didn't challenge putin on anything and essentially said hey, i believe you, when you say you did not metal in the american elections and those kinds of things . so i think it's going to be grim, i think biden is going to be trying to send a message to the world, but all sort of latimer pollutant that there will be costs for misbehavior that messing with pipelines that allowing hackers, you know, it's a different thing to say that these hackers that have gone after colonial pipeline and against american neat packers. but they've also gone against a lot of european firms, may not be the same as the russian government. but the russian government has turn

a blind eye to a lot of this organized crime and corruption and hacking that's been going on. so i think there'll be some of that. but there's also going to be an area of discussion of common interest, particularly on climate climate is going to be a very big agenda item. also a nuclear proliferation which matters to the russian. so i think it's going to be mix where we get back to a system of talking to russia both about where we can agree that we can work together and red lines that they can't cross. and then that takes us to the next thorny issue. perhaps such as china, what do you expect to happen there? china is a very, very different kind of challenge than russia. russia is of smaller scale but has been willing to take more muscular risks in global affairs and challenge the status quo and to you know, line soldiers up on the border of ukraine and whatnot. china plays more in the

lines, but is clearly both from an economic perspective and as we've seen, what's been going on in hong kong. what's been happening with leaders in sin, john the, the consolidation of, of control of a giant private sector apparatus in china. in addition to its political aspirations, with things like taiwan and hong kong, it's going to take a more formidable level of coordination with other global parties to begin and try to figure out how do you continue to engage china and not have a train wreck where we're both going towards each other in a collision, but you don't acquiesced to try and worst behavior. so i actually think in many ways, china is a far more promotable and complex challenge than russia, even though i think the meeting will be defining for biden. and he's got to come out and appear as if america and biting one in that and the west one. but i think china is not just a one. you know, it's not going to take one set of meetings to basically position the u. s. in the

west around that because china is everywhere. ok, thank you so much need clements for speaking to us from washington. thank you. what speaking of china, the u. s. president joe biden says that he will revoke an executive order that sought to ban the popular chinese owned apps, tick talk, and we chat. so biden's administration says it will now conduct its own review of several foreign controlled apps and see if they posed a security risk to americans. the previous president, donald trump issued the series of orders over concerns on how us data was being collected from its users. rosalyn jordan is joining us from washington d. c. for more on this developing story browser, what more we learning about why this decision was made now? well this was signaled back and february when the administration 1st indicated that it was not going to try to pressure the sale of tick, talk to us companies or us owners instead of having it owned by the chinese. that

is what the previous administration had wanted. this revocation is now in effect, and the ministration is now ordering the commerce department which deals with all matters that are fine commercial, not just the financial part of the economy to actually look at how all these applications owned by other countries, including those owned by chinese interests are actually managed, how they actually handle people's personal law information sensitive information, and then try to devise a set of policies to make certain that americans personal information is not inadvertently used or more important. abused by these apps are owned by foreign interests. this does not mean, however, that we chat and the app tick tock,

which is very popular here in the us, are off the hook as it were. a review could determine that these apps are not respecting privacy, norms and laws of the united states. and they could still then be of permanently banned from use in the united states. but for right now they are continuing to be available while the u. s. government conducts this review. thank you so much, ross and jordan, for reporting from washington. when tamara had on the news hour including they talked us diplomatic users, the nicaraguan president of being a dictator to more potential challenges are arrested. what to expect from mongolia election voters to their new president in the middle of the current of iris pandemic. and, and for a world cup qualifier causes more protests in columbia details coming up later in the program. ah,

but 1st, the russian court is hearing a petition to outlaw political organizations linked to the jailed opposition leader like st. only if approved that will ban of all these allies from running and parliamentary elections later this year. the case is being brought by moscow's top prosecutor, was accused of all the and his supporters of trying to launch a revolution. the kremlin critic is serving a 2 and a half year prison sentence for parole violations related to an embezzlement. conviction. bernard smith is joining us from moscow. so, bernard, what are we hearing about what's going on this case is being heard behind closed doors. no media, no public allowed. so we're reliance on the defense to tell us what's going on. and they say that the prosecution case is essentially that alexis, of all these anti corruption foundation, is trying to achieve the destructive goals of russia by forming public

a k public opinion that it's necessary to change power in the country. but fans will say, well, yes, that's how democracy works. if you want to change the regime, you have to encourage people to vote for. ready somebody else, the consequences all navarro, and his organization being declared extremist about anyone in a leadership role of an organization could face up to 8 to 10 years in prison. any one funding the organization could get up to 8 years in prison and only himself, only just gone back to prison from a prison hospital where he was being treated for almost 2 months for the consequences of the hunger strike that he started to the end of march, but what the russian government as effectively managing to do through the courts and through parliament is closing off almost every avenue. there is all legit. legitimate opposition to vladimir putin? the government. not long ago, paula passed

a law saying that anyone who in the last 3 years has been a member of an extremist group cannot stand for election. and all this is happening ahead of elections parliamentary elections in september where wow, lot moved boot and remains reasonably popular. is united, russia party is not. so this would be seen as a way of helping that not suffer as greater loss in the elections. thank you. so much bernard smith reporting from moscow mark sim cops, he is a non resident senior fellow at the atlantic council and he says, by now, the russian opposition knows that the ultimate aim of the kremlin 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 that birthday. on friday. i think the russian opposition knows the challenging

landscape that'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 in the shape 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 students sending that is determined to ensure that they're e brooks, no opposition, as he continues and is, is 20 over 20 years in power. a mass of loss of life. that's the blunt warning from the un on the sheer scale of devastation people are facing in me and

mar, under military rule. well, it's on voice as urgent action is needed. now in the eastern state of kaya, that's where more than 100000 people have fled to conflict. and it's not just the threat of artillery fire an air strikes. now we're getting a porch that there 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 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, which is one of several regions in me and mar,

where armed groups are fighting back against the military following the qu, in february, the deposed elected leader on, on to cim race groups say at least 849 people. most of them are civilians have died in the unrest. so she is due to go on trial on monday on a raft of charges that support a say are politically motivated. now filled robertson is a deputy age director with human rights watch. and he says that it's standard procedure for me and more as a military to block aid into conflict areas. what we have seen since that our c on meeting was the military has gotten down to business. and in these areas, in eastern chaos stayed around demo. so township, what we're seeing is standard operating procedure by the me and 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 tax by air and by artillery, sending in ground troops who, you know,

if they see civilians on the ground, 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 doc getting through the potable water medicine, other things that people, neither. 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 there, argue managerial 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 locked down on the time me 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 on the border, which is very poor. so there will be people coming across bleeding from the fighting in, in, in chaos state. at least 10 workers clearing land mines in northern afghanistan have been killed. the government is blaming the taliban, but it denies responsibility. police say gun men entered the camp and beg line providence and open fire violence of increase in the area in recent months. james cohen is the chief executive of the halo trust that he doesn't think the taliban is responsible for the attack. afghanistan is 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 stuff is at the moment the 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 ticket ethnic group, and then murdered 10 of them. and we did the 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 work and 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 enough done long before 911. we've been going in afghanistan since 900 c h. we've worked 3 different regimes, different phases of african history. and we are determined to carry on our work pose have closed in mongolia where voters have been choosing their 6 democratically elected. president analyst expect the ruling mongolian people's party will consolidate its power. following a campaign, hampered by covert 19 restrictions, mohammed jumped june reports, voters in mongolia going to the polls to choose their new president. this is the 1st vote to take place after constitutional amendments 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 colbert,

1900. pandemic. at a polling station in the capital, voters had their temperature scanned and observed social distances, saw the mean sunk double home. i really hope that the new president i chose today will 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 to an employment and i didn't 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 to do, 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 target 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 concern 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 candidates at a campaign rally in the run up to the vote. your boats of 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 force 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 in a real democratic way, according to laws. the laws just not implemented. 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 drawers does it still ahead on al jazeera, albania, is parliament overwhelmingly voted to impeach president metal over allegations of violating the constitution. ethiopia, stuff, stuff, trust deployment nearest master down project, raising tension with if you're trying to sound sport, things the manager makes
