summit sizes of mortars turn ice aster is really soldiers kill through palestinians, according to security officers during the reef in the occupied west bank and laser peruse presidential election is still too cold to coal, but a lot is realizing only i will bring you the latest from lima. and i am we harding with sports anastasio public shank of a reach of the final of the french open and tennis, and pope francis post the way for president on the eve of the european football championship, which kicks off in rome on friday. a when we begin this, use our with a disturbing report about the situation and ethiopia as t grey region were 350000 people, there are either facing or living in famine. the figure is an estimate by a committee of un agencies and a is to species for

a few of us. government reports also warns that famine will threaten 5000000 more people in t gray unless they get urgent humanitarian aids fighting book out there in the vendor between the few of his government and the regions. former governor party, the t great people's liberation, france. it's estimated that tens of thousands of people have been displaced since then. this is the region that even prior to the conflict has been affected by shocks. in recent years we had the desert lucas this past year. hailstorm, some pockets of the region that are already chronically affected by drought, it means that this is an area that's already a bit on the edge. and so now with the conflict, the disruption of health systems, the collapse of markets in many areas, the inability to plant today because people don't have access to the fertilizer or the security to be able to plant means that for w p, the number one priority is going to continue to be that humanitarian assistance until the situation allows people to resume their livelihoods activities and meet

their own food security needs. within the past few years, the us ambassador to the un chastise the security council for not taking the situation in t gray more seriously. christmas to me is a new york at the united nations. we can speak, sarah christian, what the basket. i have to say linda thomas greenfield, the us ambassador says this is a man made humanitarian emergency and the source of this emergency. according to this report that was compiled by 15, un agencies, non governmental agencies and regional organizations found a very dire situation with conflict at the heart of the problem. with this conflict, they say that has led to massive displacement of people in the northern areas of the d o. b i, it's conflict that caused people to lose their livelihoods, to ruin infrastructure and also to ruin crops. they talk about food sources being

purposely destroyed, seeds burned equipment, destroyed crops, burn, and also about the fact that on over 100 occasions ethiopian or era tray and troops have stopped aid workers from getting in to help people. and this is of great concern to un officials who have been sounding the alarm in recent days and weeks. thomas greenfield decried the fact that the security council has yet to hold an open meeting on the situation there. she says that something that has to change the security council's failure is unacceptable. we have addressed other emergent crisis with public meetings, but not with this one. so i asked those who refuse to address this issue publicly? do african lives not matter? it's time for the security council to have a public meeting on this issue. it's time for the counsel to take meaningful action

to address the crisis. and according to un officials, they need 3 things to happen in order to improve the situation on the ground. a situation that they say is the worst food prices the world has seen in the last decade. what they need is access to the area. they need the fighting to stop and they need more money right now. the world food program is able to reach about 1400000 people in need, their scaling up to get to, to 1000000. but unless there's more access and more funding, they say that they will not be able to reach before 5 and a half 1000000 people who are now in need of a getting back to the security council situation of the lack of action if you will, on the part of this international body there are efforts underway to have another meeting behind closed doors. next week, most officials would like to have the us officials and the you officials who spoke today said they would like to have an open meeting to really shine

a light on the situation we've been told. but african members of the council have been reluctant to do that so far. but efforts are ongoing here at the un. okay, christian silly me, the ally for you in new york. refresh it. thank you christ. and let's get more on this note from william davis, and he's a senior ethiopia analyst at the international crisis group and join snyder at from the us. great, have you with us on the user now, your group international crisis group, they have a presence in the region. i don't the grades. what have they been telling you about the situation in te grey itself? just how bad is it there? what i think you described in your report, there's nothing about the conditions currently integrates or the situation, the political security situation that has led to this humanitarian situation that we are not hearing from people on the ground. this has been a devastating complex in terms of interrupting livelihoods. those likelihoods will

already run ripple. the nature of the conflict means that the rich prevention of aid and from a work is getting into some areas. and that is largely because of the ongoing conflicts. so in these areas of gray, where the full regional leadership has a strong hold, they are believed to have considerable support from the verbal population. and i think it is that which is leading to this blocking of a convoy and ultimately exacerbating this already very serious humanitarian crisis . and we heard from a report through the un that the african nations, with somebody reluctance to have this brought to the security council, just explains why that could be. why is the feel p doting the figures that are coming forward? why is there a reluctance within africa to half the un coleman? so this issue well, 1st of all, there is no real surprise about the situation in the military situation. as your

correspondent mentioned, because of the, the ongoing complex large some of the farmers of missed the planting season. and that has raise the concerns ever more about the monetary situation. likewise is absolutely nothing surprising about the government's response hit. the government's position has been that they have been fixated on achieving the military objectives since the start of the conflict in november. they said the main phase of the operation with early november, and they say they are in the business of reconstructing pig right. rather than fighting an ongoing conflict left alone battling to prevent famine. so there is no surprise that they are disputing the big is and it is very hard for people to be accurate about the figures. because the same problems that are preventing a deliveries are preventing accurate surveys of the humanitarian condition when it comes to the broad international response, the federal government. and so this is a no important operation against the treason as distant regional leadership. the

military operation has led to these disastrous humanitarian outcomes, but suffice to say many international active, including in africa, especially at the outset of the complex. they were inclined to adopt the line and above that they had no option to pursue this complex. i think it is those types of lingering attitude that is leading to the disinclination with topics to be addressed that the un security council, with this conflict has been going on for months. tens of thousands of people have been displaced. an awful lot of people can't flee the area because they're trap that the u. s. colon for access to the area of fighting to start getting money and food into the area. but until this conflict stopped, none of those things were likely to happen. so in your view, when will this end? will there be a victim to this conflict between the 2 great people's liberation front and the few pink governments? or is this likely to rumble on for years?

well, i think, you know, unfortunately it's a crisis group. we do agree with the implications question that just to know, tens of thousands of people have been displaced from tip rate to saddam with integrate millions of people have been internally displaced by this complex. unfortunately, the dynamics are that the retrain government, the government still absolutely said that the military objectives all completely defeating the t p from the former regional governments intake right. as a military and political force that regional leadership doesn't pay to consolidated its position integrate off the suffering heavy defeat early in the complex that former regional leadership also has a considerable amount of support from the grant population. as i mentioned. therefore, unfortunately, we do not see a quick resolution this crisis to this complex on the battlefield. the leadership that the grad resistance is likely to be able to hold on that position in rural

areas, but not be strong enough. to launch any sort of major counter offensive. therefore, that really does raise the risks of this already worrying humanitarian situation. tipping into something truly disastrous. because at the moment, we see ongoing complex and possibly intensifying complex as the retrain. and if you think governments make another push to try and achieve that, complete the feet of deformity, great leadership, ok, william davis, and that from the factional crisis, greatly appreciate your analysis. thank you very much. indeed for joining us on the al jazeera and user. the 10 standoff and occupied east jerusalem a far right is really politician. he was threatening to march through the ox a compound, despite orders that forbid his visit was just left. you tell me, my been fear was at the damascus gates in the old city to protest against the decision to buy him from the area federal palestinians who were protesting against the politicians presence were arrested. let's go live night to harry faucets,

he's in damascus gate and applied east jerusalem. hurry, there's been some fairly 10 scenes coming from the area. what have you been hearing and seeing this or well, yes. so it's not that we came here, i think to make his point and also create a bit of tension. he wants to see attention on the fact that there has been a decision by the security establishment to not allow a right wing. he is a far right member of these really connected israeli parliament. he was facilitated his progress into parliament last election by the prime minister. benjamin netanyahu was looking to shore up right wing votes and he has come here to make the point. but the security supplement has prevented a religious nationalist right waiting flag march from taking place on this day through the muslim quarter of the old city unoccupied, east jerusalem through damascus gate just behind us here. it's been

a flash point for weeks in terms of the tensions inside jerusalem. his own presence here was met with a, a wall of israeli security forces. he wouldn't get to mask his gait. he spent a little less than an hour repeatedly making a point to reporters. also clashing verbally with palestinians here, think it pointing on waving and shouting. he was saying that the decision to march today and postpone it till tuesday for some sort of compromise route that that is giving in to terrorism. in his words, giving into hamas, allowing us to dictate what happens inside jerusalem. during his presence there was some shouting, there was a bit of shoving there, a handful of arrest off the left. then things got a little bit more tense between palestinians and security for some 7. so i'm going to use i get a few scuffles. nothing on the scale of what we saw a few weeks ago,

but a sign of just how these tensions kind of wrapped. and also perhaps a precursor of how things might go on tuesday. that'll be the real test for whether this much is going to be allowed at it. so what degree that could explain as to the level of tension and potentially violence as well. and this is coming harry off the fact shop several weeks of height and tension between israeli residents and palestinian residents. no key part east. jerusalem. just give us a sense of the events that brought us to this point and where this is likely to go well, it all started really. i mean, you started the most proximate cause of it all was at the beginning of the month of ramadan when there were restrictions imposed by israeli security forces in terms of preventing people from gathering at damascus gate behind us. bubbling away, that was the issue of fixture. and the looming,

forcible evacuations of people expulsions, of palestinians had been living there for generations. because a jewish corporation is doing to what it say. it says is the regain line that the palestinians say that it is their land given to them as refugees, and should not be subject here in an occupied territory to in israeli national law . those tensions were bubbling away that there was that issue. on monday, the 10th of may, the violence inside the like some us compound, the proposed flag march. that was due to take place that day that was cooled off at the last minute as rockets were being fired from gaza on jerusalem. it was that flag march that these right wing is wanted to hold again this very day. exactly a month on from the 10th of may. they've been prevented for now that off to the swearing in the government, which is likely on sunday. the 1st big security headache is going to be how to handle this march, which has been in principle allowed,

but in terms of its precise routes and the restrictions imposed on it that has yet to be deliberated on. and so again, if there is a large number of palestinian protest is here, damascus gate, a large number of right wing israeli religious nation is trying to get through waving flags chanting and all the rest of it. that is a recipe for a very volatile potentially violence situation is indeed hiring for the law from east jerusalem. thank you plenty more still ahead on this news. our including recent cone of our site break in southern china is reason does vaccine efficacy plans of progress for the film industry, new york to try better festival get funds away? so the 1st time this is the panoramic began, i miss sports european champions and press ahead of their titles defense, all football action coming up later in the show. ah,

well, joe biden has just had his 1st informal meeting of his 1st overseas trip, as you, as president ahead of the g 7 summit on friday. he's taught one on one with the british prime minister bonus johnson. the 2 men want to renew the so called special relationship, the bricks. it says casting a shadow on venice at odds with brussels of an agreement to designs to ensure an open border on the island of ireland, which is not the ghost will says the white hi. so i did from i scared sir. james bass side took on a castle near some eyes. james said, this is an important meeting between jo vide, and boris johnson is not absolutely, and it is the 1st face to face meeting on this big foreign trip for the u. s. president. his 1st foreign trips after 5 months in office, the trying i think for us to try and set the agenda ahead of the g 7 meeting which

takes place in 24 hours time. because of course is the u. s. president and the host of the g 7 meeting and top of the agenda clearly is corona virus. and the panoramic and the devastation caused by the patent damage. and the can only fall out of the pandemic expect announcements coming from both sides. we know the u. s. is going to pledge an extra half a 1000000 vaccines that it's going to donate to 90 to low a middle income countries, including many in africa. they're going to have announcements from the u. k as well on covey 19. and they hope that the, the summit itself will look at code 19. also the to lead is looking at something called the atlantic chart back in 1941 and the dog days for the u. k. then of the 2nd world war, the u. s. hadn't even started the 2nd world war. ready and that was a document that led to eventually the north atlantic treaty,

which founded nato. and the un charter, which founded the un, they're talking about trying to revitalize their relationship to try and do something for the world. at this time, after the devastation of the pandemic, i'm the so love to work together on james, but there are some sticking points between the 2, not least on the thorny issue of northern islands. northern ireland is something that president biden as senator biden was very, very interested in. remember, he has always heritage, remember that before he became president, he said he didn't agree with the idea of breaks it will breaks. it is one of the reasons or the main reason why there is this new renewed tension in northern ireland. remember, peace still 998. the good friday agreement. that's now slightly under strain. as a result of the deals that we've done during breaks, it's something a bit of a fudge agreement called the new nile and protocol to allow free trade to continue on the island of ireland between northern ireland,

which is part of the u. k. and the republic of ireland, which is in the you. but that meant that there had to be bought a checks between england, scotland, wales, and northern ireland. and that's led to real tension, real pressure on the british prime minister. many in his own party do not like this idea and that the current stories here in the u. k. press about sausages, for example, and why colonel british sausages be sold on the e u. rules in northern ireland, putting pressure on the u. k. prime minister to withdraw from parts of this protocol. and it may seem like a trivial issue. it's not, it's affecting the status quo in northern, on since $998.00, which potentially in the future affects the peace which angers and worries the united states. and of course you've got european leaders flying in here in the next 24 hours. it is potentially a problem area of the started this g 7 summit. ok? james pays that live from since ice and the u. k for that. so it's set to get

underway to morrow. james. thank you. let's get more on this. now. we're joined by the ground. he's a political economists and choices from london, grades heavy where this on the shores are hearing from it, from africa. so there is rather a lot that unites that the to the, this in terms of crew and virus bounce back from the pandemic and the climate agenda. what do you think the priorities will be for the to what will they try to work together in your view? well, i mean you and of a, you can have long be close allies and sometimes you, us, leaders, hydrologic or salt mats. if you think back to reagan and patch or indeed i clinton and black, but that's not the case with biden and johnson indeed, biden i called johnson once a physical and emotional clone of donald trump. so basically the 1st priority from

both sides, not for this meeting was to sort of clear the hat and established a working relationship between them. and instead of that, the divisions, the rich audiological divisions between them are preventing that. and on the one hand, the rest president is an irish american internationalist, who has a correspondence that opposed breaks it. and bars. johnson is an english nationalist who champion breaks at normal times. you could probably talk about and get on with the big agenda about talking about about creative arts and climate change and trade in security and so on. except for this tony issue, not the not, and which is raised at ted and where you know, nice according to one newspaper today. the us that issued an unprecedented addressing down to the u. k. over its behavior, which the u. s. i believe is threatening the peace in northern ireland and the openness with the job i didn't knew he had severe differences with common harris on

the campaign trail and so managed to overcome those differences. she's not the vice president of the united states. do you think that this is an insurmountable issue for the u. k, the u. s. the issue of northern ireland that couldn't be any fun and done? no, i don't think. i don't think it's, it's about to go. i'm going to end the day. you as far as i can afford to be got this because you know, he's much, much more powerful. and bar johnson is a week having isolated britain by leaving the year and it desperate therefore, after the crisis favor of the us president. so therefore, you know, very because there is potential for the company. the problem is not an issue which ought to be relatively minor, given the huge other issues which are being addressed. and given the desire to create a positive environment, instead, poisoning debate and not just in britain, but also the mood which surrounds this. i initially think think important

switch all sorts of interest. his charge to be spokesman life, which is not very good at january. i was just trying to show christmas back on the well stage of an independent nation. often he was a powerful we all ok said about this last thing for the u. k. certainly the big prize of course is to secure that us trade deal. what would you say the u. s. is looking for out of this bilateral meeting because u. k is no longer the conduit to europe, that it once was within this meeting for the us. you're absolutely right that you no longer has importance to us now that it's left to you. at the same time, it remains important, not least in nato had indeed made the biggest thanks for joe biden are. but he wants to show, but after the disruption of the trump presidency, that the us and the you have to deed a democracy is more generally, are much,

much closer. and more united is in standing up to have the aggression her father in russia. or indeed, the geopolitical rivalry with authoritarian china. so his big agenda is much wider than that. and britain plays a role in so far as it can support us policy in this area. the crucial thing is securing the support all, all the european allies. and in that respect, you know, obviously he's a breath refresher after the antagonism of donald trump and he will be welcomed normally by european leaders and have a japanese at the same time. and those, those leaders don't want to be dragged into a cow with china if they can avoid it. and therefore, they also have commercial interests which crash and therefore they will only go so way, some way in terms of supporting the u. s. position on this. okay,

well have to wait and see how this all plays. i love to keep an eye on us. you'd just be putting together the grades, have you whether some news or thank you very much. indeed, lesson turn out is what happens in the palestinian territory early on thursday, attend standoff, which you know right wing is really m p and security forces house just ended. you will threatening to answer the most compound, even though he's borrowed from the area or is earlier sizes of morning fill the streets in the west bank city of janine for the funeral to t palestinian intelligence officers. they were killed along with another palestinian during the way by israeli forces on thursday. palestinian leaders of condemned the death. stephanie decker has gone from the occupied west bank the body of j. c. i. a saw 33 years old. have lived in his village just outside of jeannie, and he is one of 2 members of the policy and intelligence that were killed in

a shoot out with israeli special forces. overnight the village come out to more than the body, members of the palace being in forces, the other flags, the flags been shooting in the air. and the body is now going to be taken. just further up here before it gets buried. when we received the news with sadness and i can say we were desperate a young man like him with his wife, pregnant in her 9th month. imagine the situation for us, his friends, we spend our lives with him, and now we lost him. this is something that we suffer, his past, indians being arrested, getting killed all these things. thank god, we still have patience. we know that any of us can face a similar fate. pray that the body to the cemetery here in the village to be sorry. now to tell you that these kinds of brains and other than usual talk to me on streaming comments, they happen on a daily basis. what is unusual is re exchange fire with each other that there is

something and they are tight security preparation when it comes to israel. and usually when you see the kinds of res get involved, there's been condemnation from the government 1st and condemning the re, quote on the international community to do more. israel said, trying to erect him, does it mean 3 shooting at his soldiers at a junction, replied west bank just a couple of months ago. so there is an investigation on going, but certainly a lot of anger here. people saying that they don't believe they'll be justice for the and then israeli court has postpone the hearing in the case before palestinian families facing force displacements and their homes in c. so one neighborhood, you know, bodies, jerusalem, earlier israeli forces tax, palestinian protested, who were demonstrating outside the court and the claim of voter fraud and peruse presidential election. this threatening to cause?

weeks of political wrangling, socialist federal casteel holds a very narrow lead. will the conservative rival keiko which maury just some these election? would you moria legend, some 300000 votes were suspicious, but is offered little in the way of proof. kasteel denies you allocation. slice night c. mariana sanchez, is in lima. mariana were forties own from that full night. everything's looking is a final result. me well, the final result, holla, is very near. we are 99.998 percent of the both been counted. however, electoral authorities cannot get called a winner. pedro castillo is 71000 bodes ahead of people who he, marty, but she has called on a fraud. and what is happening now is that the most prestigious law firms in peru

have deployed young lawyers throughout the country to look for bolts that can be challenged. kick off from the model says that she wants 200000 volts, an old, and also further scrutinize the further scrutinizing of other 300000 bolts. she has not offered any truth of a fraud that these faults are wrong, but she said that it is impossible that there are area where there are tables were more than $300.00 voters voted. and that not one goal was for her. but in fact, that is possible because in areas for example, in the, the southern areas still not more than 90 percent of.
