a raid in the occupied west bank. an unpublished report by the un agencies the said to warn, hundreds of thousands are in famine conditions in the theo, p s t gray region, more charges against mazda ppos. they don't hang susie this time allegations of corruption. ah, now joe biden is beginning a busy week of diplomacy after arriving in the u. k for his 1st foreign trip as us president later on thursday biden sits down with british prime minister barak johnson, who's hosting the g 7 lead this meeting. after that summit, they'll be talks with nato and european union leaders before by needs russian president vladimir putin in switzerland. on wednesday, our diplomatic editor, james bass, is outside forgotten castle near the same time. so james,

what can we expect out of the meeting with johnson today? well that is the 1st stage of this. you've got the u. s. president on his 1st ever foreign trip. 5 months into his presidency meeting the host of the g 7, which starts almost exactly 24 hours from now. so clearly they're going to be looking at the agenda of the meeting, president biden hoping very much to get all his allies on the same page. and he'll be doing that with the g 7. he'll be doing that then brussels with nato and the you to try and confront the problems that all of these countries face. number one, of course is koby and the economic recovery from clone cove it the other is climate change trying to get the world back on track with regard to climate change. remember, president trump pulled out of the parents climate court. now, president biden is back in it, but also trying to deal with some of the problems in the world,

most notably how to deal with some of the more powerful countries in the world with which they don't degree. and that, of course, is china and russia, and later in the week, having got that unified prop front, president biden will head to geneva for that face to face summit with the russian need vladimir putin and clearly for us presidents any time. but certainly very early in his presidency, that is a very, very challenging meeting to deal with a russian leader in office for over 2 decades. talking about challenges, james, how much of a cloud is hanging over this meeting in terms of the situation in northern ireland that so i think is going to be one of the sticking points. of course the u. k. and the u. s. always like to tout the special relationship, but there israel tension over northern ireland, the white house, the said has deep concern about the current disagreements between the u. k. and the,

it all stems from breck sit and the deal that was done over northern ireland at the time of brag seat. and there are worries that it could, in some ways affect even derail the peace treaty in northern ireland, the good friday agreement of 998. what was done at the time of breaks it was somebody called the northern ireland protocol, which allowed free trade on the island of ireland between northern ireland, part of the u. k. and the republic of ireland, part of the e u. but that meant needed to be border checks between part of the u. k. england, scotland wales and another part of the u. k. northern ireland, and that is certainly controversial in the u. k. there are some saying that parts of the protocol should be scrapped. the latest row in the tabloid press is about sausages why sausages from england can't be imported into northern ireland. it may seem trivial, but he's going to be a problem potentially for northern ireland. and even for the security of northern

ireland, and that means it's going to potentially be a problem at this bilateral summit between the u. s. and the u. k. but remember, you will be coming here during the g 7 meeting. so further attention here, when you arrive, a beast, meet miss premise to johnston, so potentially something that could sour the tone of this whole meeting. plenty of complications there for sure. thanks so much. james face and european union leaders have been speaking about the week ahead, including how they plan to address russia. russia will be one of the men took beach g 7 partners share similar views on the russia, disruptive activities. you condemns illegal provocative and disruptive russian activities against you. its members, tooth and beyond. thousands of mourners filled the streets in the occupied westbank city of janine for the funerals of to palestinian intelligence offices. they were

palestinian military intelligence officers. there are some reports, news ready, media suggesting that they were returning fire. however, 2 of them were killed in this operation. there's been outrage expressed by the palestinian government and there's very been a very large mass funeral inside jeanine itself where there's also been a strike called to mark the passing of these 2 military intelligence officers. and this the man killed in the operation as well. and israeli called her spoke to hearing in the case of full palestinian families, facing forced expulsion from their homes in phil one neighbourhood unoccupied, east jerusalem. and earlier is ready for the tact palestinian protest. this was demonstrating outside the court case. seals with homes in the building claimed by a jewish trust from the pre 948 era. 350000 people said to be either facing or living in famine in ethiopia as

minister barak johnson who's hosting the g 70 this meeting. before leaving for europe, president biden said he'll be announcing a vaccine plan for the world. us media reporting the country will buy 500000000 doses of the 5. the cove in 19 jap are expected to be given to more than 90 countries and distributed through the w h. o kofax program that provides vaccines to poor nations. another of the big issues being discussed at the g 7 summit will be climate change. the u. k. government wants to see deep cuts in carbon emissions and big spending on technology to remove carbon from the atmosphere from plymouth. jonah, how reports in the local project that could help make a global impact. the long snouts see horse a rare encounter in the waters off plymouth. this tiniest of animals is clinging to strands of sea grass vital for its protection and survival. this is

a habitat and also a species on the critical threat. its only hope the efforts of volunteers from the ocean conservation trust seeding and growing new sea grass meadows re wilding the ocean floor. if you look at them. yeah. that's the see. oh yeah. very flowery club and as an added benefit, see grass draws carbon out of the atmosphere using it to photos, synthesize, providing in nature based defense against climate change, pumps capture carbon for us. and they create this, this complex ecosystem environment for all sorts of wonderful wildlife. so, rather than spending vast amounts of money on, on creating expensive carbon captured techniques that look around in the night in the natural world. and there are organisms all over the face of the planet that will store this carbon for the,

just about bike. now that the tire the green shoots, feed legs of an idea with us potential. the pilot project aims to grow 80000 square meters of new sea grass beds over the next 4 years. it's thought up to 92 percent of u. k. c. grass has been lost to pollution, disease and human disturbance. it's hoped that the success of this project will lead to scaled up versions along coastlines all over the world. but as world leaders from the g 7 meet in cold will not far from here and with the u. k. hosting the next big climate conference in november. the message is that so much more still needs to be done. marine biologist, jason, the whole spencer says that restoring marine wetlands is only a partial solution to the much wider problem of human impact on our oceans. well, we know that there's only about 2.7 percent of the ocean is actually protected from

damaging activities and it needs to be more like 30 percent. so that's my key message. the g 7, ministers and leaders, the ocean stores more carbon than anywhere else. and there's more carbon in the sea back then, there is in the atmosphere and trolling that up and releasing it into the seas bunkers. what we need to do is stop those activities and allow the c read to recover. new c grass beds have much to offer small vulnerable species and the environment, but progress here will mean little on its own. jona whole al jazeera plymouth, the canadian developer behind the controversial keystone excel oil pipeline is ending the project. it comes off to president joe biden with revoked hits permit pipeline would have carried oil from canada to the us. the cancellation is a major setback for oil producers on the canadian government. but it's been hailed is a victory by activists too long argued it posed a threat to the environment. the supreme court has thrown out
