this for our platform makes a connection and present a digestible scene, each the award winning online content on their audience portal with me founder gotten on to 0 in the. ready united states back and democracies of the world are standing together. joe biden begins a tour of europe and mending time following donald trump's presidency. ah, hello, i'm dire in jordan, this is i'll just lie from dell are also coming up. russia is, can demons of banning political groups linked to opposition leader alex and me with a court classifying them extremist research as

a dozens of species were sold at who hands, animal markets. and the 2 years before the covered 1900 and el salvador becomes the 1st country in the world to make bitcoin a legal and valid form of payment for everyday use. ah, yes, president joe biden as arrived in the u. k, to begin his 1st overseas trip of his turn, a visit, he says, is about america rallying. the world's democracies day visit to europe will take in g 7, a native summit, as well as talks with the russian president vladimir putin in switzerland. it's a chance abiding to show other we're leaders, that the u. s. values as partners and allies up to 4 turbulent years of donald trump. allen fisher report from washington d. c. 8, a 3 countries for summit, your bike has a busy agenda for his 1st trip as us president a trip which will mark, can you faith in the crew in a virus pandemic?

and us relations with the rest of the world. ah, landing at any for space primarily used to support us your operations. the president lined what he hoped the trip would deliver. this my 1st overseas trip is tracy united states. i'm heading to the g 7 then to the nato minister, and then to meet with mr. to let him know what i want him to know, the cds 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 less 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 in the eyes of those countries. preston 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 that 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 and an early public opportunity to demonstrate his personal diplomatic skills. the top presidency questions challenged and 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 the always have

lightened. 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 relationships. so the number one priority will be to these put this on 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. jo bite believes he is to send the same message after 4 years of donald trump. i would, fisher, i'll just eat up at the white house, very me, miles deposed emily the ang suit. she has been charged with corruption. she faces 15 years in jail, soon she's being accused of misuse and land for charitable foundation, as well as accepting money in gold. the military has already brought a series of criminal charges against her since taking power to entertain,

since her government was overthrown in the last temporary. meanwhile, the united nations is warning of a major loss of life in east and me in law. if no immediate action is taken, its accusing security forces of indiscriminate ass strikes against civilians. all the 100000 people fled the fighting and kaya state, nor burton, money reports. who now, lo hopes the small underground bunker will shelter her from the expected air strikes. when the military moved in with bombs and artillery far in march, hospital schools and public buildings were attacked. more than 100000 people for me and must pay in state, fled their homes. many escaped to nearby for now they're working to protect themselves against what they expect to be more bloodshed. i get down below that without burnable, like, soldiers are going over the line using too much current. people live comfortably

and safely, but right now we have to leave our homes and hide from the world. these people from keynes, internally displaced camp it to her. tar tried to fight away along the banks of the solving river to safety and thailand. the neighboring kaya is one of several regions where armed groups are fighting back against february's. when elected leader on foot, sushi was deposed. 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 need. the un envoy says mass deaths could occur from starvation, disease, and exposure. the hunter is blocking roach that could provide the 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 with the wet season about to begin malaria and dank, a fever could also spread quickly through the wondering if those were law middle. some of the women are pregnant and were closer labor, which makes it hard for them to travel. some have newborn babies that need a lot of supplies. beautiful has been in a tooth. how come to 15 years and lose what it's like to face hunger and the consul threats from the military to new or new order he does or every day i had to follow the news and what the me soldiers were doing and how they were going to come in,

so we'd know all the moves for now people have no choice but the barricade themselves into what a very flimsy shelters, and hope they'll be enough to keep them safe from the next air strike. lore by manly out 0 to palestinian intelligence officers have been killed by israeli special forces. it happened during an incursion in the city of janine and the occupied west bank a 3rd. palestinian was injured. having fought that join supplied, now from occupied east through some heavy. so what more do we know about this? is really special forces operation engineering. hold on. what we know is that it was an undercover operation in a civilian vehicle. the understanding is that they would, they were targeting members or the one member of palestinian islamic jihad, one guy was killed in that operation. another one was injured

and taken away by the israeli forces, the, the man who was killed is understood to be a p. i, j member, but at the same time, witnesses on the ground say that these ready for also 5 words palestinian military intelligence officers who was near the scene outside their own security building. now these really media reports talk about his release, returning fire in that direction, but whatever took place, it is known that 2 of those military intelligence officers were killed. a 3rd was critically injured, taken to an israel hospital as a result. and so this is another instance of military intelligence on the palestinian side being killed by israeli forces in the occupied west bank be sometimes these take place because of confusion because of lack of proper information being passed, which is what is usually seen ahead of

a military operation by the israelis, it seems perhaps that didn't take place this time. what we do know is that there is going to be funerals for both these men engineers later on during the day. and there's been a general strike called in a day of morning as well. and harry were hearing that there could be disturbances of the alex alex a month later. what are we expecting to happen? well, yes, at the moment things are very quiet. this is a call by right wing is really, really just nationalist and secular organizations for a greater number than usual of jewish entrance into the alex. the most compound behind is known as the temple amount to jews on a daily basis. jews do, and to with israeli forces escorts, we've seen 13 and to so far with, with 6 israeli police around them. that is not unusual. but because of the tensions, because of the fact this is the 1st day of the jewish months. and because of the

fact that there was going to be or late, at least organizes wanted that to be a big religious nationalist march flag waving much through the muslim culture of the old city, which was postponed until next tuesday after a police intervention and intervention in the other direction by the government to try and resuscitate it. there are tightened tensions at the moment, so it monitoring events so far they seem to be pretty quiet. but there is one right wing, far right politicians. it's am i been via who's been told by police that he cannot access the old city on this day as he wanted to do. he's due to have a statement outside damascus gate just outside the walls of the city and occupied east jerusalem in the early evening. so wait to see if that as well could trigger some disturbances to hurry for that life. is there an outside easter, islam harry, thank you. now a russian court has outlawed political organizations linked to jail, the opposition leader alex val,

me labeling them as extremist. and that puts them in the same official category as groups such as al qaeda. it means now these allies are banned from running in parliamentary elections. this year. bennet smith has moved from moscow, with russian president vladimir putin main rival, alexia valley in jail. and his anti corruption foundation, now declared an extremist organisation, hooton's administration has effectively closed all, almost all avenues of legitimate opposition to his government, to say, to welcome all was bad in this trial. we couldn't even talk about any sort of adversarial system or quality because we filed some 25 petitions and all of them were rejected. the judge didn't want to hear us though we made mincemeat of all the so called evidence both by the prosecution and the authorities now have the full power to jail activists in freezer asset navarro, and his allies had already disbanded the groups in anticipation of this rule.

another opposition politician dmitri good coff has gone to ukraine after being warmed by people close to the kremlin that he'd be arrested if he stayed in russia . most prominent anti government activists now, either in jail on the house arrest or have fled the minneapolis milk. my aunt is under trouble restriction that they gave me a hint that they would put her in jail at any moment. she 60 and not ready for anything like this. this is andre, of, of our, of the director of the now defunct, open russia. an opposition group linked to exiled oil tycoon and kremlin critic macau hold. a cough ski community in the kremlin. everyone knew i was going to run for parliament. he said, after being taken off a flight last week that was about to take off a poland from st. petersburg. he suspected of violating legislation on undesirable organizations. the court ruling bounds election voluntary allies from parliamentary elections later this year, leaving few options for those wanting to take on putin's united russia party. this

looks like the final blow to a political network built up over years by alexa in the valley to challenge him in the position politicians supported say they'll still try to use tactical voting to undermine support for the pro kremlin united russia party. but it's ms. al jazeera, moscow sophomore, so to come here now just they are including killings, beatings and sexual assaults. those not the allocations level, the colombian police, and the new report in touch response to protest. ah hello there, things are looking rather hot and dry across the middle east. rather settled too though we do have a shamar when that's a northwesterly wind kicking down from iraq blowing pretty strong gusts of wind. we

could see a sandstorm or 2. and while the dust is rather unpleasant, it brings a lot of hazy sunshine and some beautiful sunsets. he has a picture i took earlier of the dough. his skyline for the south. things are looking a little bit cooler temperatures in oman, nestling in the mid thirties and temperatures in doha, and in riyadh little bit below. what we do expect the heat does come into mecca though, $48.00 degrees. by the time we get to friday. and it's a pretty, pretty settled picture across central areas of africa. very quiet across the tropics. if there is any rain, it's across the central african republic. a few storms bubbling over the gulf of guinea with cameroon, seeing some of that wet weather as we go into the weekend, looking down south and all things are looking dry and settled temperatures in both swan is slightly lower than we expect for this time of year weather coming through for mozambique, but further south looking fine and dry with lots of sunshine for johannesburg.

the i was wrong to sheltered away from their parents and hurt them into a school against their will. there was no money or no father figures. they put us in a big playroom and we sort of look after ourselves. i don't remember the children's names, but i'll never forget canada's dark secret on al jazeera. ah ah,

welcome back and fix them out of our top stories here. this our us president joe biden is in the u. k. and his 1st official trip abroad since taking office during his visit to europe 5 will attend g 7 and nato summit to meet the russian president vladimir putin. a russian court has outlawed political organizations linked to jail, deposition the alexia valley, labeling them as extreme. it means and found these allies abandoned and running in september's parliamentary elections and min miles deposed to brilliantly. the unsung suit cheese has been charged with corruption. she faces up to 15 years in jail. she's been detained since our government was overthrown accrued last february . now that you have endorsed a vaccine certificate for travel within the european block, the certificate would as a vaccine passport and allow vaccinated travelers to move between european countries without needing to quarantine or have coven tests,

its hope. the new rules of boost, europe's pandemic ravaged, tourism industry of the continent enters its peak summer season and indoor dining at restaurants and cafes has resumed in france after 7 months, shut down the country's nighttime curfew has also been pushed back to start at 11 pm instead. of 9 of prompts is the most visited country in the world, but it's tories trade is taking a heavy hit throughout the pandemic. many are hoping the latest teasing of restrictions will ensure a summer tourist boom. now a current of virus very and which was 1st detected in india is believed to be 60 percent more transmissible than the one found in the u. k. british prime minister boys johnson has warned that the rapids spread of what is now known as the delta variant. could delay plans to lift lockdown measures top or restrictions have been imposed in parts of england to stop it spread. and researches have been investigating the huge variety of animal species which were on silent markets and

the chinese that you have to hand before cobra was 1st found there. that documented more than more than $47000.00 animals. so between may 2017 under them, but 2019 no bats or pang collins were among them. but experts say that the most likely source of the virus is from an intermediate species. the research as are affiliated with the china, west normal university oxford university. and the university of british columbia, let's bring in stephen gold stuff, he's the found a free land that's a global counter trafficking organization and co chair of the end of the mix campaign. you join us by skype from the ty, capital bank of state, mr. port found dozens of species that harbor pathogens and can jump to humans were being sold in this market. how significant is this report and should we be surprised? but findings, do you think? well, it's not a surprise, but it's very significant. it points once again to the strong perils of wildlife trade. while the trade has always been one of the most efficient ways to transmit,

potentially deadly viruses from nature, into urban and human populations. but let's, no matter which theory one subscribe to about the origins of covered 19, whether it's these wild animals, any went market or wild animals or exotic animals being bred on farms. or if it's from a, in a lab that's been experimenting on wild animals, they all have one common denominator ness. tampering with wild animals. so we just need to leave these wild animals in their natural home where they play important roles or stick. we could be whole and were fine, but you take them, push them or pull them out of their natural environment and they become potential sticks of dynamite and food and china themes to crack down on these wet markets. but now at least, but many countries across asia like thailand, for instance, where you still have them. so how much of a danger do they still pose? do you think it's right that china has cracked down?

it's very hard right now to find these animals for sale, but there are markets still open across southeast asia. governments are thinking about it, but what we're see across the world and southeast asia and probably in china soon is the but the strength of the money behind this, you know, this is a multi, multi $1000000000.00 a year trade. so people are pushing back to relax the markets and allow a legal trade to occur. we have to remember that legal wildlife trade mass, illegal trade, and also mass viruses. the viruses don't care. those animals have been traded legally or not. they attached wild animals that leap nature and can then jumped to other animals or directly to people. you mentioned this earlier, but i mean, does this report bring us any closer to finding out to the virus did indeed come from a wet market or a chinese laboratory and we have i think we'll be debating that for years. and like i said, i don't think it matters because the common denominator in all those theories,

lab market or far, those are the 3 theories that all the experts are looking at the common denominator . there is tampering with wild animals if it was allow those bat did not show up at the lab at the door voluntarily and said, you know, experimentally, they're, they're taken from their natural habitat, sometimes sold, sometimes picked up by the researchers themselves. and the whole medical industry and you know, part of the while they've tried to illegal while they trade, which again, massive illegal trade. but most importantly at mass viruses. ok, so what you're saying, steven, is that this report then pretty much puts the spotlight back on the evils of the animal trade more broadly. so what needs to be done then to stop this, what, what, what do we need to do? right, so in all those theories, the solution is the same, which is basically stop wildlife trade and stop destruction of nature. the 2

factors that bring animals into close contact with people when they can shed these viruses to us for which we have no resistance is wildlife trade and also destruction of their homes, usually for an industrial farming. so those are all connected issues. so really the only long lasting backseat here is nature protection. so we need to see the g 7 countries and all the other wealthy nations start putting money into nature protection and something that's been overlooked for many years. while they trade is just part of that. but also just stopping deforestation. viruses will continue to jump this vaccine that we've created. now the different variance won't work against the next virus. we're just putting expensive band aids on this problem. so nature protection is ultimate solution. stephen, go that good to get your thoughts. thank you very much indeed for talking to us figure. now demonstrations have been held in columbia as capitol laughed, a protest leaders call them people to take over bull gotta,

what stop it as anger to propose. tax reforms has turned into weeks of unrest against inequality and a new report by human rights watch is criticizing the police response. after at least 20 protests were killed. alessandro pet reports from but up to 7 time been violent, but it didn't tear hundreds from turning out for a 6 week. on wednesday, rallies were sparsely attended. your class had started early as a group of indigenous sack tried to topple the statue of christopher columbus. there were stopped by riot police with tear gas and sun grenade. dozens were injured. well, let me suck people when performing and insist revitalization of the historical memory of the indigenous populations of columbia. in the midst of the 25th century should be no space for racist representations of colonial our marginalizes and excludes our communities. human rights watch says it has documented at least 20

killings as well as illegal beatings, sexual assaults, an arbitrary, the tensions. it accuses the colombian police of the reaches abuses and calling on the government to take urgent measures to protect people's rights and commit to police reform. it most likely get my data for intel whenever we are dealing with a police force that lacks basic standards of training and accountability. and that above all doesn't have the sufficient oversight to act in a manner that ensures the basic receipt of human rights. ill bundle is much more president given duke. he says he will propose changes to policing that include putting body cameras and officers and creating a new human rights director 8. the protesters are demanding a d military station of the police force and the officers crimes are placed under the jurisdiction of court. international pressure to do so is growing demonstrate

there's have also been staging a protest in front of the hotel tech and where the leaders of the protests have been meeting with the delegation of the inter american commission on human rights test on investigating the abuses committed during the probe yeah, no, no. okay. this is how much the government is not listening and watching institutions in the country are controlled by the government. criminal complaints fall on deaf ears. that's why we need these national organizations to help us to achieve the safety guarantees. we cannot get internally members of the commission of also spoken to government officials, judges, and civil society organizations doing it 3 day visit. they're expected to release recommendations the next week. in the meantime, negotiations between protesters and the government remain stalled. leaving the crisis on the street with no insight, allison and just with crowds in peru have taken to the streets demanding the final

results of the presidential election. it's an economic race between 2 polarized candidates with 98 percent of the vote, tally and left. a candidate federal castillo holds a slim lead of a his right when rival kicker for murray, for money that was claimed voter fraud. as growing concerned, the result could be delayed. el salvador has become the 1st country in the world to adopt a crypto currency as legal, tender it's congress approved the law, allowing bitcoin to be used for everyday purposes. money, rapid reports. this is a soon to know locally. as bitcoin beach, this small salvador tours town is home to variety of small business owners. all have one thing in common crypto currency to do this, i think, and i think they were tourists who didn't bring cash, would come and say they wanted to eat something. and they asked if they could pain bitcoin. i said to myself, this is a good strategy. i'm going to use beck calling. i'm going to start collecting. i downloaded the app and i started selling

a lot more with the success of the bitcoin beach project has boosted the popularity of crypto currency salvatore. and on wednesday, the government announced big point would become legal tender. therefore, a lot of good coin is approved. supporters of the measure say the new law represents a vote of confidence in using block chain technology to bring informal sector workers into a 21st century economy. you know, somebody and a banks are not net, not the important thing would show them any salvadorans in this country. they cannot use it because there's thousands of requirements. el salvador now becomes the 1st country in the world to formally legalize the digital currency. the initiative was led by all salvatore's president. now you buccheri on twitter, he called the passing of the big coin law historic in the saw, then this will generate jobs and help provide financial inclusion, 2010 said the formal economy and in the medium in long term,

we hope that this is small decision can help us push humanity, alyssa, time a bit into the right direction. there are also critics who was of the risks of point price fluctuation, momento, the moment bitcoin becomes a legal currency problems appear, including in its most basic use, which is a form of exchange. and this is related to the volatility of the price of coin. while some also war that legalizing and decentralize digital currency could be wielded as a tool for corruption, bitcoin believers in uncertainty and across of salvatore say the new law will only increase financial inclusion and has the potential to spur economic development. manuel apollo al jazeera, the us president has revoked trump era executive orders which sought to ban the popular chinese owned apps, tick tock and we chat. biden's administration says it will conduct its own review of several foreign control apps to determine if they pose
