the prime minister boris johnson examined the copy of a document signed by the us and u. k. in the dark days of world war 2, the atlantic charter paved the way for the treaty that created nato. and the late charter that now governs the you and the 2 leaders believe as a parallel with present times, the world leading renewed direction. after the pandemic and they offered some fresh support for countries, have been struggling to get doses of vaccine. the united states is providing these half 1000000 doses with no strings attached. let me say it again with no strings attached. our vaccine donations don't include pressure for favors or potential cassette concessions. we're doing this to save lives. it was great, great pleasure. welcome musical. despite the smiles, there was tension on one from northern ireland. president biden's officials have

expressed deep concern about the growing dispute between the e. u and the u. k. about trading arrangements put in place after breakfast. they fear it may derail the historic piece, still signed in 998 the good friday agreement. cobit 19 has changed the world since the last g 7 meeting in barrett's in france almost 2 years ago. for this 1st in person, high level meeting since the pandemic started the lead, as also will no longer have to deal with the trump factor the confrontational manner. and unpredictability of the full president unnerved the u. s. is closest allies? it's hard to overstate how significant that is. i mean, talk about a i a deep sigh of relief. i think for 2 reasons. one is that it's a very different american president. it is in one sense, a return to america that want to lead that thinks diplomacy matters, that invests and that's the overall direction president biden's foreign policy is

clear. it's the buying close allies and partners and then with the united position deal with problems. and those countries that don't share the us his values, and that's exactly what he's doing with this trip meeting the g 7, nato, the e u, and then sitting down, face to face with the russian president vladimir putin. james bays al jazeera saint ives. well, activists in the u. k. welcomed biden's announcement and said much more needs to be done. a group from the was the organization staged in our demonstration, near the scientific g. 7 summit calling on leaders to address global vaccine and equality. they drew the faces of g 7. leaders in the south with the slogan, share the vaccine, wave, the patrons, the inequality vaccine axis is doing the induce county where we are now has vaccinated. more people done. $22.00 african nations combines at this rate,

the g 7 countries will have vaccinated the population within the next 6 or 7 months . whereas for the developing world, it will take 57 years to reach that same level of protection. so that's why we're asking was we those who are meeting here today to allow more countries and more qualified manufacturers to produce the life saving vaccines. the 1000000 doses still falls well short of the 11000000000. the world health organization says needed to vaccinate the world, and there's a striking divide between the rich and the poor. 85 percent of old days is administered so far have been in high and middle income countries. just point 3 percent have been administered in low income countries. africa has the slowest vaccination rate of any of the continents. and at least 10 countries, they're less than one percent of the population has received a single dose between

a fast. so the democratic republic of congo and beneath are at the very bottom of the list. meanwhile, the united states and the united kingdom, 42 percent of people are fully vaccinated. let's get a bit more analysis on this. we can bring in james warren, he's a political analyst and executive editor at news, god joining us now from chicago. many thanks for joining us on the program. james, what do you make an announcement? in particular, the u. s. is donation of 500000000 doses. what messages bite and trying to send. so you summarize the very, very well there. i mean, it's the message of global outreach at the same time that many folks are criticizing it as was insufficient. i mean, obviously some situation for a new president us government, primarily because his predecessor is seen as having underperformed. i'm talking to you from chicago, and here and elsewhere, you've got millions and remain unvaccinated,

and now you've got all so many millions in this country as elsewhere. then even believe that there's been a pandemic. so biden comes out with this plan, which critics suggest is insufficient. some folks in europe think think might be too much. he wants to re add some protections for manufacturers or which some of the critics and new mention do agree with at the same time. got the your opinions as wait a 2nd. don't wait, patton protection. so it's, it's a real problem that he's got in terms of the pressure on those countries that haven't contributed anything to vaccines around the world. i mean, how much does it, how much pressure does it put on those countries? well, i think a fair amount, but one of their problems is that there's again, as you mentioned, there's this radical difference in how many countries have performed in dealing with their own population. so they're, they're going to be many who are disinclined to be helping out others when it comes

to entire continent in crisis, such as africa. what do you do? do start giving them all the unused vaccines in the us and france and germany in the u. k. or do you figure out some miraculous way to sort of regionalize there, the manufacturer of these vaccines that would seem to be a smart, adroit way to deal with it. but the cost is gigantic and speaking of costs, once you put this into some sort of context, we're talking about a $3500000000.00 outlay for the united states. just the state of illinois where i live is the beneficiary under trump latest and demick really plan of 7500000000. there's one fighter jet that though. busy all of the us military is now purchasing the f $35.00, that's $405000000000.00. so this is really a drop in the bucket when it comes to the resource is not say, a china, of course,

has been a major coven vaccine supplied to much of the developing world. is this an attempt also by the u. s. to catch up with china, and if so, why? oh, of course, it feels that and knows it's part of hard. china and russia is 2 great international competitors have beat it to the punch when it comes to helping other countries. it's why you have this american government wine would fight and repeated today about no strings attached to every dollar that the russian china give out. 2 countries around the world are part of some pro well, so that's sort of a way of exhibiting. i think the inner burnley, the defensiveness, the u. s. government feels here, but very much uppermost in their strategic mine is a china and russia and how they have played this. and i think in many ways it

played out game with us for an interesting to talk to your james warren, executive at us at nice god speaking to a staff from chicago. thank you. report by the united nations and agency says that 350000 people in ethiopia as t gray region are either facing or living in famine. conflicts in the area has been going on since november. when you open government forces and to the region mohammed that reports, it's a good day foster. how goes on the hot sun. they've just received the shell relief food brought in by the united nations world food program. it's the 1st delivery of aide that received in months, stare and family among millions of pins, displaced by the conflict integrated region. the families sheltering an abundant construction site. a few kilometers from the village at the port where their home once stood,

a fair enough family pick up the pieces for you and as they were about 20 armed men, they gathered around my house and thrashed on my crops. i constantly have nightmares about how brutal they were burning everything in no way. they kept getting closer burning all of the harvested crops and straw. they burned my home and everything i had missed for the past 6 months. the united nations and 8 it is as i've repeatedly called for full humanitarian access to the to get a region in the face of a growing fear of a protracted conflict with devastating effects on civilians. this is a region that even prior to the conflict has been affected by shocks. in recent years, we have the desert locust 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. in a new report, a high level you and lead committee estimated that about 350000 people in the degraded jan facing form in conditions. the war is now in its 7th month and has

hampered access to essential services, food, water, and livelihoods in large parts of greater gym, putting the lives of millions of risk, un stuff integrated, continue to report block movements of aid as well as the interrogation, assault, and even detention of humanitarian workers at military checkpoints, the c o p and government denies responsibility out of sol. money need information from these information flowing on the notes because we're concerned about 2 rooms. but because of the vested interest, bad, who'd like to present the situation as there are courses who like to show the government. if they were to discredited, they went to the world to govern, to do nothing the war. and that's a great job of this place to more than 2000000 people before the economy of the

region along with businesses crop. some thousands of civilians also being killed or wounded agencies say now is the time to stop. follow those of us from talking to death. how about the world of a the up to lead on al jazeera israeli media release, such as your palestinian prisoners being beaten abuse activists say mas treatment is widespread, and systemic progress. the film industry, new york's rebecca festival gets on the way the 1st time that the panoramic a hello there, let start in north america and it's a conflicting picture that continues for the u. s. we've got hot,

dry conditions across the west, but things are looking very wet towards the east. we got more excess of rainfall to fall from the mississippi valley all the way from mid atlantic. and we could see for the flooding where that rain is particularly heavy. we're also seeing some severe weather affecting northern plains, bringing some rain to the canadian prairies. we have had dropped there, so that will be welcome. but the heavy rain edging down, affecting the great lakes as well. and we'll also have a bit of a weather system bringing wet weather to british columbia and to the west coast of the u. s. oregon. seen some of those heavy downpours, but further south it is hot and dry and the low humidity is fueling that critical fire warning. now it's a different story, as we work our way to central america, things are looking very wet here and we're watching the reins of the pacific coast of mexico. we could see a tropical disturbance. we'll keep an eye on that. and this is similar story across the caribbean. these range could fall up into something and we will keep our eyes

on that. but for now, much of the rain in southern parts and mexico affecting the yucatan peninsula with 30 degrees in cancun. ah, the children born in jewish did he have trash discovered the beauty of music in the ugly of the places? ah, when a chance to play for the world 10 mariana t into a dream. ah, landfill, harmonic witness documentary on all the

the, me i know you're watching out 0 mind if i top stories. the sour u. k prime minister boris johnson says g 7 nations are set to pledge 1000000000 corona of ours vaccines to low income country spike on the eve of the lead of summit. and ours off the us president joe biden promise $500000000.00 doses by mid 2020 to bite and maybe announcement during his 1st overseas trip as us president. and he will also visit nato headquarters after the 3 day summit. and then you will go on to meet the russian president vladimir putin on united nations. as warning, the tramps and 50000 people in easier gifts region are either facing or living in conflict began in the vendor when government forces into

the un humanitarian chief is demanding that the well step up and deal with the crisis in ethiopia. us ambassador to the un blame the security council, ignoring the disaster. i'll just there is kristin. salumi has more from the un headquarters in new york. the you on top humanitarian official, mark low cock has been warning of impending famine and ethiopia as t gray region. and now it's official, according to an assessment by 15 you and agencies regional groups and jose, some 350000 people are now facing those catastrophic conditions. that's the highest number of people in any one country in the last decade. but despite the united nations sounding the alarm, the security council has yet to hold an open meeting on the situation. despite attempts by european members and the united states, the united states ambassador to the un when to thomas greenfield, describe the situation as

a man made humanitarian emergency. 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 refused to address this issue publicly to 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. a closed door meeting is in the works for next week, but he mandatory an official say stronger security council action would help them get the 3 things they need to address the crisis. an end to the violence, more access, and more money to buy food. president emmanuel macros has announced a reorganization of frances military presence in this a hell region of west africa. currently there more than 5000 french soldiers

fighting armed groups in the area or france intervened, and molly and 2013 to help push back troops linked to al qaeda. and i still are correspondent natasha butler has more from pears. it sounds a bit like a bit of a rebranding exercise more than anything else. we didn't talk about reduction or a true number. it didn't say the necessarily pulling out. but what he did say was that we would learn more, and we would have a sense of what he actually will do in the file region at the end of june. nevertheless, the significance of this announcement now is very clear because it because it comes off the recent recruit in molly from suspending its joint operations with molly enforce is a former protest from also suspending of a to to the central african republic and military operations in protest as sources because process is helping to fuel and she sent them an anti for sentiment in the

region. so that the, the presence of french troops and so i regional suddenly become a lot more tensile will difficult in recent months. but it's also interesting to learn public opinion here in the fraud about the file, i suddenly turned again the operation more than 50 french soldiers have died since 2013. and many people have brought the question and why fall is getting down and what seems to be on, on whether conflicts in people's mind very far away. the french verses about micro noise up because of course, next year they're all presidential election. he would know very well that it would be more favorable to public opinion if from to reduce presence in the region has been attend, stand off at the ox that compound to an occupied east. jerusalem on the far right. israeli politicians threatened to march through it's on thursday it's, i'm a been given was up the damascus gate and the old city to protest a police order barring him from the areas he left off to making a speech earlier. israeli police stopped to planned march by israeli national

through the muslim court of the city on a visit to the alex com. when the police dispersed a group of palestinians outside damascus gates who were protesting been given a rival offices called for both sides to leave. but you stung grenades when palestinian flags were raised, 3 israelis and at least 6 polish palestinians were arrested. every force it has more than the story from occupied jerusalem. it's a mother and 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 israeli connected. he's ready 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 that the security side of smith has prevented a religious nationalist right wing flag march from taking place on this day through the muslim quarter of the city and occupied 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 present here was met with a, a wall of israeli security forces he wouldn't get to damascus gate. he spent a little less than an hour repeatedly making his point to reporters, also clashing verbally with palestinians here, think pointing arm waving, and shouting. he was saying that the decision to not allow this march today and postpone it till tuesday for some sort of compromise route that that is giving into terrorism. in his words, giving into hamas, allowing us to dictate what happens inside jerusalem. doing 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 forces here, 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 here, but a sign of just how these tensions can interrupt. 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. and if so, and in what degree that could explain as to as to the level of tensions and potentially violence as well. meanwhile video has merge said to show gods assaulting, shackled palestinian prisoners in an israeli jail. the hereto newspaper says security footage from march 2019 shows more than 50 inmates allegedly leading to her mass being dry to the floor and beaten. the paper says any 4 of the 10 guards are being investigated over the incident at the prison in the southern negative
