now, more than ever, the world needs w. h. making a healthy a world for you. everyone. ah, this is al jazeera. ah. hi there, i'm kimber. now this is the news. all law from bill coming up in the next 60 minutes. the g 7 summit opens with host british prime minister bro johnson, declaring they have an opportunity to lead to the global pandemic recovery. g 7. that is the only ones gathering climate activists make. another appealed, world's richest countries. urgent action on the climate. molly's crew leader,

colonel or semi void to appoint new members of his cabinet that have all the details the us and mexico are accused of sending unaccompanied migrant children back to their home country without protection. i'm we're harding and there's just an hour to kick off and the biggest sporting events since the started the hand demik room is getting ready for the beginning of the delayed european championship with co host italy set to face turkey in the opening match. ah, a 1000000000 vaccine doses for the world. that's one of the pleasures expected from g 7 leaders at the 1st in person summit in 2 years. covered 19 as of course, dominating the agenda. british prime minister, both johnson says, lead his need to learn from the mistakes of the pandemic and never repeat them. but

activists the saying the promises don't go far enough. don't a whole reports from cornwall. the white sands of carpet bay it delicate power setting for a meeting of the group of 7 described as the world's most advanced democracy. they are also leading the vaccine race to exit the pandemic. and while socially distance still there face to face, at least, and promising a combined effort to help the world emerge from crisis. i actually think this is a meeting that genuinely needs to happen. because we need to make sure that we learn the lessons from the pandemic. we may need to make sure that we don't repeat some of the areas that we doubtless made in the course of the last 18 months or so . and we need to make sure that we now allow our economies to recover the headline pledge on this opening day. of the g 7 is the donation of a 1000000000 vaccine doses to lower and middle income countries over the next 12

months with the us offering half of that amount. campaigners say it's nowhere near enough and know when near fast enough. i think a 1000000000 dose is, it's a good thing. i mean, you can't say it's a bad thing, but we need 11000000000 dollars and we need to move away from the idea of charity crumbs from the rich countries. and let developing countries like south africa or india produce their own vaccines. and the only way to do that is to share the vaccine recipe and break through the monopolies of these big pharma corporations. and, boris jones really doesn't want to do that. so he wants to talk about donations and the large yes of the richest nations. when in fact, they're big, hugely selfish and putting profit over people. but now the age of consumerism, fossil fuel addiction, things use, protest as are being kept well away from the some of the venue. but for once the issues they raise are actually being discussed. there's pressure to wave payton so

the poorer countries can develop vaccines for themselves. the u. s. and france are in favor with others yet to follow the climate and inequality or among the worlds crises that we'll talk the agenda on sunday. they call it the g 7, but really there's no doubt who the 2 leading figures are here, or is johnson the u. k. prime minister and host key to show his country off as a global power play. a post breaks it. and joe biden goes to the us president on his 1st foreign visit. both men came to be seen at the helm of efforts to rid the world of climate change and depend demik. what emerges from this meeting, a post trump consensus alliance, his reinvigorated, meaningful promises of action. determine whether this wealthy club of nations can make a real difference. jonah whole al jazeera, cornel diplomatic editor. james bass is also covering the summit. he's now saint ives in cornwall, close to the summit in columbus day. so as we heard that james,

boss johnson says the g 7 is a chance to learn lessons from the pandemic. how deleted plan to do that? well, certainly there is a pandemic still ongoing in many parts of the world. although in the g 7, certainly they're beginning to get people vaccination in reasonably large numbers. that is not the case in other countries around the world. you heard and joan is report the criticism coming from activists. well, the criticism coming from the courses to in the last hour, a news conference from the un secretary general who's in london. he comes and joins the latter part of the g 7. he'll be here on saturday in como. i asked him whether that pledge of a 1000000000 doses, which is what we think is going to come out in the final community. k was enough and he said he welcomed it, but no, it was nowhere near enough. so powerful voice. the certainly it's not the only thing on the agenda cobra 19. earlier i spoke to the you case ambassador to

washington d. c. karen pierce, she said there was a range of different issues that were being discussed. of course, this is the 1st face to face meeting of these leaders in nearly 2 years. they've got a lot of business, all sorts of problems around the world, ranging from relations troubled relations with china and also with russia. but of course, covered 1900 top of the agenda, the g 7 recognize that we need to get on with vaccinating the world. we need to do that by 2022. this will be a back seen summit and we hope to see a lot of very concrete pledges that will enable us to provide those 1000000000 basis to start with more manufacturing to come that have been foreign policy meetings. and the foreign secretary will chair another foreign policy meeting of his opposite numbers later on this year. so rather than trying to run dominant themes, but one other thing from the summit is open societies,

open markets. what can the democracies do to push back on? and you don't get more autocratic than russia, so they will be worried about what we see from president putin and russia. was very worried about the diversion of the playing. that of us very worried about what happened with and evolving very worried about the big cyber attack that certain governments had seen. so i think it will come up, but it's not the main issue with the summit, but we'll have to wait for the communicate on other of the main issues, all the summit is climate change and the leaders have left where i am. this is one of the venues there to, to hotels where this is basically based. and they've now gone to the eden project. well known. placing coble dedicated to the environment there, there is a reception taking place for the g 7 leaders, but also members of the british royal family, including the queen, prince charles,

and prince william, attending a reception for the summit leaders, or i thank you for the not the james bay, that, that the medic editor jacob parky las is an associates at elysee ideas, which is a foreign policy think tech at the london school of economics. he joins us on skype from legal, thank you for your time. how much scope do you think president biden has to sure up alliances to sort of reassure global lead is that the us is indeed back. is their concern? do you think trump may be gone for now, but a remains a sign of things to come? i think there's definitely that concern, certainly biden will be met, is being met with much more open arms. his relationships established through his many years as chair of the senate foreign relations committee. latterly vice president, under brock obama, with many of the leaders present today, will lead to a lot of very sort of warm signaling both in terms of the imagery that comes out

and the warmth of the communication. but i think there is a real sense both amongst the leadership and the general public's of the g 7 countries. and beyond that, you know, what we saw over the last 4 years or more nationalistic us, a more sort of inwardly looking us, a more aggressive us isn't necessarily gone. you know, donald trump may or may not make a return to political prominence, but certainly the success, such as it was of his brand of politics within the republican party, brought out a sort of strand of nationalism within. within us politics, which may revive itself in a little of 3 or 4 years. so i think you know, to her, certainly joe biden is getting a warm reception and i think that's an authentic warmth. but i think it's, it's, there's a level of guardedness and willingness to be disappointed underneath that. every leader is probably going into this with their own plans, their own wish list,

i guess. well, specific policy measures is president by didn't wanting to build support for so the big thing, aside from his vaccine initiative, the big thing that biden is pushing for is a global wealth tax, particularly with his treasury secretary, janet yellow. he's proposed and the g 7 has largely agreed to a minimum corporate tax that would make profit of a tax evasion. amongst highly profitable multinational is more difficult to sort of beef rate of at least 15 percent, which is lower than what secretary yelling originally wanted. what the by ministration and originally push for, but they're saying they're hoping to negotiate a little bit higher. that's been met with a certain degree of openness from the g 7 countries. but also there's been some guardedness, the british government, for instance, is asking to exempt firms, headquartered in the city of london,

which has long been the headquarters of it's sort of multinational industries from that, which i think would, would blow a significant hole in this, as a tax avoidance, prevention mechanism. so there's clearly from work still to be done to bring that through, but there is a sort of non coven, non grand strategic competition element of this, that biden is actually pursuing. how concerned do you think president biden is about the rise of china, the growing influences, china, and how much do you think that will dominate the agenda? i think he's concerned about, i mean the, the thing about the, the issues around the rise of china, the growing influence of china is that it's one of the few issues in washington where democrats and republicans at least broad equity. certainly there is not necessarily a kind of tactical agreement about how best to manage it, whether it's through harder measures or more sort of cooperative multi lateral

measures. but there are very few people in washington now who, who will say that china isn't a threat to the united states, or that it's not a challenge that united states needs to urgently address. so he has a lot of political backing for that in a way that he doesn't for some of his other measures. i think he's taking that to the g 7 moderately to the nato summit next week with a degree of urgency. i mean, that's something that we've seen from, with increasing levels of urgency from the successive 3 or 4 american administration. i don't see any reason to think that biden administration will be any different from that overarching trend. all right, thank you for that. jacob para keyless. there we are looking now at some live pictures from the eden project. that is, of course, the queen. and all of the g 7 need is the lining up for the family photo, including the british monarch. i can't quite see. i think that might be prince

charles there on the right, and there is the queen this follows well, this is, i guess the conclusion of the 1st of the 3 days of the summit. sorry. that is, that is, of course us, president biden. on the far right, so as i said g summit, which began today's going through last 3 day, that is joe biden. first of the seas trip. as president big issues. going to be discussed. coming out of the coven, 19 pandemic, and building back better as the motto has been for one of the 1st sessions and getting back things to poor nations. of course, there has been a pledge of 1000000000 vaccine doses to poor nations by the end of 2022. there we go. to sat down down the photo and they are off. now let's take a closer look at the g 7 covered. 19 vaccine plays in how it stacks up against

what the world actually needs. 85 percent of all doses administered so far have been in high and upper middle income countries. just point 3 percent have been administered. and nations classified as low income africa has the slowest vaccination rates of any continent in at least 10 countries on the one percent of the population has received in a single dose. booking, if also democratic republic of congo and been in are at the bottom of the list or mom and eunice is a nobel peace prize, glorious and the lead representative of people's vaccine alliance. he says g 7 need is a completely lacking a sense of urgency. this is a global crisis. the crisis mode is not in g 7. this is what the frustrating part of it is. a whole world is having a big crisis. we need discretion that a 4000000000 excellence is needed. now we talk about 1000000000, and then we have

a timeframe. and prime minister, what is johnson said? he has a plan to have all the explanation. so for 4000000000 vaccination, by the end of for 2022. that is missing. what is the plan? what's the global plan contribute country production unit production unit? who gets one month by bond? this is what we need is, is it worse situation? so we need to work plan that is missing. so i would say i'm, but i didn't want that. and just been eating a certain number. it's not the solution solution is to see the whole world need together because it's a life and death issue. it's not something that we can wait. we have to do it. the more we wait more we'll have those new videos coming up. so whatever you have come to predicted because the variance will take over and you will need the new kinds of directions again. so we need to have this total plan. and 1st thing to do most important could do is to pick waiver. once you had you moved,

once you installed the waiver, then production, the units in all around the world can come into production. it has to be distributed, production is not a centralized production. thank you. your head on the news, all, including the foreign station souls and brazil's amazon rain for the 5 president pledging to do more to help more safety concerns for health workers administering polio vaccines and pakistan after the killing of police officers assigned to protect them and enforce with leah tennis sent him from the men semi finals at the french. ah. molly's crew leader, colonel asked and you go to has named a cabinet. he was sworn in as interim president just days ago off the forcing out the previous transitional leader. it was the 2nd crew they're going to orchestrated

in 9 months. let's go live now through nicholas hawk who is following developments from neighboring synagogue. one will be all about this new cabinet. well, can't remember, the eco wants the west african body for the region had asked a see me going when he took over power to form a national unity government. and it seems the government that he has announced. although there are many familiar bases is one such national government, you have members of the and 5, which is the civil society movement that led to the downfall of former president data. you have also members of the former ruling party president kate as party who are also part of this government. and of course you have members of the military june. the key is jo camaro, who's the defense minister. remember came, he was the one who was in training in russia, but came back in august to take part in the military agenda. who that led to the

downfall of kate. there's also the announcement that i do like jump will be the new foreign minister. now that's a key portfolio because one of the main challenges for me go to government is to gain the legitimacy of international actors. notably, the west african body echo was suspended molly, but also the african union. and of course the united nations, but also friends that friends who as soldiers on the ground yesterday, president menu in my court said that the west african body echo was recognition of se me go, it was a grave mistake. and so there's a sense for the government of molly is to build a government that will be recognized by the 1000000 people, but also by international actors at stake. here is a security situation that's quickly deteriorating. we've seen attacks last week in molly,

in the southern region. which is very unusual attack happens in the north in the centers. those it's claimed by the soviet mountain. the thought was the mean. meanwhile, the some extent in the greater so har continue to launch attack from molly to neighboring countries in became so and any share. now, according to the, the timeline sets by the government, there will be free and fair election by february 2022 in the prime minister. that was nominated earlier this week. prime minister showing mike had promised, in 6 weeks time, that that the 1000000 people will judge the progress that has been made. also, when notable new minister, the minister of justice, who was the former head of the anti corruption commission, when they see me going out with sworn in into office just a week ago, he promised to reduce public spending and reduced corruption that made my apology. he seemed to have london you there instead of fighting armed

groups? my apologies. you cut out the class, we just got you back there at the end. we'll have to leave it there. i think that nicholas hawk, their incentive go. france has announced an end to its direct roll and operations in africa to hell, but the security of the region is as uncertain as ever. the french president has for you struggled to convince western allies to join an international task force aimed sorry, against armed groups. there, at all these european countries concerned about, arise and migrants to see human trafficking. charles traffic reports, frances $5100.00 soldiers stationed across the se health, a region stretching thousands of kilometers across the southern sahara desert, including molly lakita faster than a chatter. french american and european troops have for years trying to improve security, especially along international borders. for the scale and frequency of attacks by

groups affiliated to iceland, clyde are increasing in a region that has become a major transit route for human trafficking and smuggling weapons and illegal drugs . at least a $138.00 men, women and children were killed in an attack on a village in northern became facile. last week. france has repeatedly called western states to help more with security in this house. but on thursday, the french president announced a partial withdraw troops and said, the operation must become a broader international mission. simple quality issue to consume the shop. you want to know after consulting with our american partners, who supported essential since the beginning. and i want to thing them throughout our european partners, we're going to deeply transform our military presence into a hell that with announced the new framework into which to come this transformation will translate into a new model that we and bark on operation funding with leaders of countries across

the sahara wound president macaroni in february about the dangers of a fast french troop withdrawal. but since then, trans veteran leader and our france it rous debbie has been killed. and last week, france paused military operations in molly, after the country suffered its 2nd military coup in 9 months. if the message that we did all of the french but i can operate from the region, it would give a feeling of when winning from the terrorist. and the blank extremes group from that, from that perspective, that we feed that have defeated actually there, by the time a french operation, macro said the french troop withdrawal will be gradual and details of the new international force will be finalized by the end of june, off the discussions with european and african states, the deteriorating security situation across this impoverished region is

a major concern for european countries. anxious about a surgeon, migrants and refugees crossing the mediterranean sea cha, stratford. 0. amnesty international says the us and mexico for so be returning tens of thousands of unaccompanied children to the countries they fled from and report. it says the u. s. is denying some unaccompanied. mine is arriving on its southern border. proper screening or protection. amnesty says more than $10000.00 minus from mexico have been denied entry since november last year. since president biden took office in january about 50000 unaccompanied bunker children have managed to enter the us off, the rest of their families were not allowed to apply for asylum. mexico to has been deporting children from other central american nations. expelled about half of the unaccompanied mind is that it took in this year manual propeller reports now from mexico city. a major challenge for us and mexico immigration policy has been served

in child migration. and in many cases these minors are traveling alone. during the trump administration in unprecedented search children and adolescents on the border resulted in policies that according to critics stretched the limits of international law among them, child detention camps and the practice of family separation. whenever let me see bell is one of the main consequences of family separation is that it's the state that leaves children and adolescence unprotected in theory, it then becomes the state's responsibility to provide protection for them. a recent us homeland security report suggest that more than $2100.00 children have yet to be reunited with their families. o u. s. president joe biden has promised to undo many of the harsh immigration policies put in place by his predecessor. but is the approach working? the latest statistics are mixed,

though illegal crossings have hit a 20 year high child migrant numbers are on the decline. one of the biggest ships in micro demographic data from border officials in recent months has not only been a decline in unaccompanied minors, but an increase in migration from mexico mexican migrants now number more than twice as many guatemalan on durant and salvador migrants put together. policy experts say the ever changing dynamics migration from the region is a major challenge for both of us and mexico. especially in the case of miners. you know the status needles. neither the governments of the united states or mexico count on a system of protection for child and adolescent migrant that can determine their best interest in individual cases. for the most part, what authorities will determine is that the best interest is to return them to their country of origin without even trying to contact their parents wherever they might be. the solution is almost always deportation. though the us and mexico

affirm that bilateral progress is being made in the processing of children and adolescents, migrant rights activists say there's still a long way to go for both countries to fully meet international human rights standards. manuel apollo al jazeera mexico city. brian griffey is the regional researcher and advisor on north america for the international secretary of amnesty international. he says children are forced to sign documents to commit to voluntary return to their home countries. and the national new report pushed into harm's way . what we found was that both the u. s. in the mexican governments were sending back tens of thousands of unaccompanied migrant children back to their countries of origin without adequate screenings for the harm that they could is there, in terms of the exact numbers and by country. and since children were exempted from the trump era policy of sending back all the southern secrets, the harm by federal court order in november. and then again, by biden in january,

when he came into office to extend that direction to them all unaccompanied children from, for the partition the by did. ministration has nonetheless continued to send back to their countries of origin and almost all mexican unaccompanied miners since november until april. that has been over 10000 more than 95 percent of the unaccompanied mexican children who have been apprehended by the us. border patrol has been sent back to mexico, usually within 24 hours and always within a few days. what that means is that instead of having a child protection specialist in the room to assess what harm a child could face from going back, is border patrol agents themselves. his prime mandate is to expel these. these migrants who are overlooking the require screening of children for harm with the victims of traffic in and in many cases, 14 children to sign forms. they don't even understand in order to commit to voluntarily return to mexico and mexican authorities. when we met with them in the

border area told us themselves. and you know, when mexican authorities tell us that the us authorities are sending back to mexico, children who are not safe to be there. we're going to have to go into hiding. instead of going home still ahead on al jazeera, big prizes being handed out to news rooms across the united states for the coverage of events like the motor and job floyd and nigeria as largest city looks to was a way to take some of the pressure, ultra whitlock me enforced another span down performance find new zealand, devon conway, and the 2nd cricket test against england. ah hello there, there'll be a slight break from the intense heat across the middle east. as we go into the,

we can, temperatures are going to dip down slightly over the gulf states, but they will pick back up. but for now, doe has sitting at 42, re, had coming in at 40, and things are looking rather unsettled. we've got a mouth wind blowing down that's kicking up quite a lot of dust, a sandstorm or 2. and the seas are pretty rough from among. we've got a southwesterly, wind blowing and that's keeping things rather cool. they're kept just going to come down on sunday to the mid thirties. but if there is any rain, it's going to be to the western areas of saudi arabia. shaw was potentially for west and yemen. as we move across the horn of africa. we've got storms brewing across the e, c o, p, and rift valley. those wind is being felt across the coast of somalia, but we've got storms as well across the central african republic. cameroon, seeing some of that wet weather. and as we go into sunday, it will be the western areas of the democratic republic of congo that see those
