a chance for bite in to show the u. s. values. it's partnership partners and allies after 4 rocky years under donald trump before departing bite and outlined his hopes for the trip. lion making clear to drive the euro from the united states or g 7 is going to vote. the united nations is warning of a massive loss of life in me and mar, under military rule that you and envoy says urgent action is needed. now in chi, yes, state where a 100000 people have fled the violence. many have fled to the forests and are preparing to protect themselves against attacks. gun men in northern afghanistan had killed at least 10 local workers employed to clear land mines by british charity, the halo trust. police say that they scaled the walls of the compound in bergland province and gathered the workers together before opening fire. 60 more being

treated for their injury, the government is blaming the taliban, but its spokesman has denied responsibility. you know, kinda stuff is at the moment. but the most ago, cross country we can operate safely. what seems to happen is that this group entered, they wanted to find specific people of particular ethnic group and then 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. has he escaped the impact of covert line claim for more than a year reporting relatively few cases and deaths. but now it's grappling with its 1st serious outbreak with house official saying it could prove catastrophic. the country is here to administer a single dose of karone. if i was faxing. i'd soon use the stream is next to asking

including the, the olympic movement are designed to make sure that as many people as possible are, are vaccinated twice. and i'll have my 2nd shot, i think next week. and the medical advice we have is the week and the bubble that everyone wants to create can be created and maintained. and that will start when i get on a plane in montreal, all have been tested a couple of times in the days preceding that. when i arrive in tokyo, 13 hours later, i'll get tested again and i won't be let out of the airport if there's any doubted, a tall above by being infected. i'll be put on a bus and taken to the i o. c hotel, which is one of the bubbles if i were to be at a limbic athlete on this occasion, which despite my youthful experience, i'm not to be taken to the olympic village. and that's another bubble. and so we've

got a whole bunch of playbooks prepared and in process to make sure that everybody involved knows what should be done, what should not be done. what conduct is save time. what is not the advice we have is that there is no additional risk. so we, we have got this bar, he's going to come up and in this program talking about some of the protocols that should actually be in place. and she is concerned that best practices are not being a tier 2 for instance. why would you put athletes in rooms together, junior global pandemic? would it be a good idea to have athletes in a single room, one by one by one phase. one of them unfortunately gets covered 1900. not all of them get covered 90 doctors, but i was saying this is not best practice right now. well, this is the, the one income tax advice. talk to me. oh,

at every point along the way, we're going to make it clear that united states is back and democracies of the world are standing together to tackle the toughest challenges and the issues that matter most to our future that we're committed to, lady was strength, defending our values and delivery for our people, america, a better position to advance our national security and iraq and make prosperity when we bring together lights minded nations to stand with us. these nations that have shed blood alongside of us, the fence of our shared values. our own rival, network of alliances and partnerships. those are the key to american advantage in the world and have that they made the world safer for all of us

there or how we are going to meet the challenges are today, which are changing rapidly. we're going to meet itself or position of strength. our lives is weren't built by coersion or maintain by threats. there, grounded on democratic ideals. a shared vision is huge or, and where every voice matters were the right. the words was, people are protecting the same reason. so many of you signed up to serve probably defend on the democratic values that are the wellspring of our national strength. if our british, french, or excuse me, quoting the declaration of independence, america is unique in all the world. we are not foreign based on geography. for this

city, religion. but i'm an idea idea. the only nation in the world founded on notion of an idea. we hold these truths to be self evident, that all men and women are created equal, endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights, coding life, liberty, in the pursuit of happiness. we mean, no nation can defeat us. as long as we stick to our values, it's our american craig would make sure we are. this draws friends and partners to our side. and for hundreds of years, american pages of fought, who sometimes died, defending those values. folks slow, i'm often quoted by the press is saying, america read not by the example of his power,

but by the power of our example. all of you, our service members, station around the world. you are the solid steel spine of america around which alliances are built and strengthened. year after year these partnerships have hardened and had been hardening the fire war and generation americans and service members fought like the original buddy hundreds. and those are if a pilots in their shared mission, a war to fly fighting, winning stuck together, these bonds of history and shared fire sacrifice, run deep and are strong based on values in a door, the connections and camaraderie between our troops. this community of american citizens station and the u. k. u. s. visiting forces and families, 20000 strong,

are not only warriors, your diplomat, and your bridge buildings. you are the essential part of what makes up this special relationship between great britain in the united states. over the next few days, i said, i'll be participating in meetings with many of our closes partners to g 70 in cornwall, nebraska. now summit of the u. n. n e u summit. this diplomacy is essential because no single nation acting alone can meet all the challenge we face today because the world is changing. quote, another arch priorities to the world, change change utterly. a terrible beauty has been born. were in a different place and we were 10 years ago. better position, but a different place. we have to build

a shared future we seek future nations are free from coercion or dominance by more powerful states. we're the global comments, the see, the air, the space and space remain open and accessible for the benefit of all to tackle the century's most pressing challenges. we have to do it together. we have to end covered $900.00, not just at home, which we're doing, but everywhere. there's no wall high enough to keep us safe from this pandemic. for the next biological threat we face and there will be others and requires coordinated multi lateral action. we must all commit to an ambitious climate action if we're going to prevent the worst impacts of climate change, limiting global warning. warming to no more than 1.5 degrees celsius. me to grow the global transition to clean energy technology. you know,

went on over in the tank and that kind of guy when i 1st was elected vice president with president obama.
