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, who really doesn't want to do that. so he wants to talk about donations and the logic of the richest nations, when in fact, the big hugely selfish and putting profit over people. but now the age of consumerism, fossil fuel addiction, things use of why protest is 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 will talk the agenda on sunday. they call it the g 7,

but really there's no doubt who the 2 leading figures are here for 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 will determine whether this wealthy club of nations can make a real difference. jonah whole al jazeera cornel. well, i'm tony. ted, as is urging vaccine and producing countries to come together to fight new strains of the virus. we need more than by left. so all the support and the individual countries, initiatives, we need a concert to that so that we need global that to nation plan. and for the global escalation, brand can be possible. we need all the companies that are meaningful in the

election or can be with the proper support to come together. if not least, is that there will be still lives in developing worlds where the vitals is spread like wildfire, and the risks of mutation and the risks of new variance coming and become if you will, to get ends of mind. the efforts that comes up today to make sure that the full got relation is actually chinese capital has gone into locked down despite more than half its population being fully vaccinated. that's after santiago reported some of its worst. corona virus case numbers. since the pandemic began, infections are also soaring in argentina, where china can see no single use vaccine has just been approved for emergency use . theresa reports and one is iris, the they're demanding vaccines, salaries and jobs. thousands of protesters converging on central when a fight is on friday, when publicly now worked as a waiter, but lost his job last year. he hasn't been able to find another job. so i was

there are more than $20000.00 daily infections. you know, so what it though, and that the, even though argentina struggle to get vaccines, president of the, for amanda says the situation has started to improve with vaccines coming from russia. china and the united kingdom come up when i don't remember it out. we are no vaccinating at a faster speed, all are to do it even more so, and we will rest in peace. when everyone has a job, the virus exists, the virus mutates and it complicates the life of humanity. now there's a triple mutation that's appeared in india, but in some countries in the region, vaccines i know, guarantee that the number of infections will go down soon. on friday, she announced the lockdown in the capital santiago, and the rising coal with cases. even though nearly 60 percent of the population has been fully vaccinated, the main reason government critic say the loosening of corona virus restrictions to

soon unemployment and the economy are the main reasons why lockdown have proven to be unpopular in this part of the world. in for my workers like pena and i cannot afford to stay home, even though the government has increased cash handouts, most people here say it's not enough to be i'm working in a cooperative cleaning parks among other things. i can't afford to stay home. we need jobs, i have an 11 year old son. that's why i'm here today. the pen demik continues to expose the regions inequality and it's chronic economic troubles. both the major barriers in the fight against over 19 police. i will, i just want to fight a russian president. vladimir putin says, relations between moscow and washington are at the lowest point in years. he made the comments in an interview with nbc news. it comes just days before to tell them the u. s. president,

due to their 1st face to face talks since joe biden took office. we have a bilateral relationship, has deteriorated towards the lowest point in recent years. president biden, of course, is radically different from, from because president biden is a career man. he spent virtually his entire adulthood and politics and just think of the number of years he spent in the senate a different kind of person. and he's my great hope that yes, there are some advantages. some disadvantages, what there will not be any impulse based move and just on behalf of the sitting you as president, one of hong kong, most prominent pro democracy activists has been released from prison. agnes chow serve nearly 7 months. her role in anti government protests in 2019 the 24 year old was convicted along with activists. joshua wong for unauthorized rally near police headquarters with agent brown joins us live now from hong kong agents. it looks like agnes chow was released a bit early by the operative. so what more do we know? well done. and we know that she walked out of the thailand correctional institution

about 10 o'clock local time. that's about 3 hours ago. she didn't speak to journalists who are waiting outside as she was led by supporters to a waiting call. so we don't know how she was treated during her time in jail, but as you write the points out, she has been released shortly before her sentence was due to run its natural course . we don't know why she has be allowed out. office serving just over 6 months, having been sentenced to call 7 months, but it's possible it's down to, you know, time or all the good behavior. some of her support is outside the court were charging things like agnes chow, add oil. they were wearing black t shirts, and some of them were carrying yellow umbrellas, yellow umbrellas, of course, a symbol of the protest in 2014. when agnes child cools, came to covenants. along with the other activists, including joshua won't, will, of course, is also serving time in jail. now,

in places like she's become something of a, of a cult figure, and i do and just waiting. so what does this mean then for her colleague, joshua wong, who as you say, remains in prison and the broader pro democracy movement going forward? well, i think, you know, basically there will be more than a 100 people so far arrested under this precaution, your national security law that was imposed on hong kong by paging last year. basically the entire leadership of the pro democracy camp is now in jail or l waiting trial. so it has essentially meant the, the, the end of the pro democracy movement. and of course be seen just in the past few weeks, basically effectively over the whole hong kong legislature ensuring that there any pro beijing politicians full and essential majority now. so dramatic changes here in hong kong during the past few months. and in fact, just yesterday, something happens almost every day. he darren sensors were given powers to ban
