white sands of carpet bay it delicate powers 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, who 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, the big hugely selfish and putting profit over people. but now the age of consumerism, fossil fuel addiction, things would use protest as a being kept well away from this 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 climate and inequality or among the worlds crises that will talk the agenda on sunday. i 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 player 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. join hollows and families in co, we'll join us live from there. so what more can we expect in this health decoration than jonah? well from friday, looking at vaccine delivery over the next 12 months, saturday, looked back at the last 18 months as far as jones and put it there. learning the

lessons of this pandemic, the g 7 leaders will commit to combining their national resources to ensure that nothing like this on this scale can ever happen. again. they will unveil late to the car based bay declaration, which is a plan. it will set out a plan to prevent any repeat of the devastation caused by the pandemic. and to remind you of the numbers 175000000 people infected so far and counting 3700000 deaths and counting economies tore apart billions of people, of course, waiting a very, very long time to come for vaccines. the plan, the declaration, when it comes, will be split into 3 parts. it will be, look, it will look 1st, it shortening the amount of time it takes to come up with vaccines in the future. they're looking at a time scale of under a 100 days. they then want to look at strength, living surveillance mechanisms, genome sequencing and different countries to be able to better identify the nature of future outbreaks. and thirdly, crucially strengthening the mechanisms and the mandate of the world health

organization. allowing that global body to act much more swiftly to be able to target, go into countries and look at the source of outbreaks in the future. and of course, that an allusion to the experience of dealing with china during this pandemic. and joining these discussions on saturday indeed will be the w h o director, doctor texas gracious and un secretary general antonio cherish. and while that is going on, how much of a brag cloud is hanging over the gathering for bars? johnson? yeah, well it's a crowd bars, johnson can't seem to make go away in all of this. he's desperate to franks is not to overshadow in any way the summit agenda, but the u. k. prime minister, looking increasingly isolated in this, this dispute increasing the acrimonious between the u. k and the over post briggs trade rules in northern ireland. already the us president joe biden appears to be in the you camp on this. he's came to avoid any destabilizing of the good friday

peace agreement on the island of island. your lead is attending the summit was seen having face to face meetings among themselves on friday, potentially to the garnering their joint positions that had to bilateral meeting separately with boys johnson. today, i think it's very likely breaks it will be brought up in a number of meetings with boris johnson today with a lot of pressure aimed at the u. k. prime minister to budge, to move, to come up with some sort of compromise and make it all go away. to remind you that k side says that these rules are being over harshly applied by the e u, affecting the you case, internal market. the you says, this is a deal you freely signed up to you now have to obey the rule of law. and i think bob johnson would have been gold by the site on friday after that. leaders, photo up that you saw there on the sands of copies bay. when a manual mack on the french president walked away from that army with us president joe biden. not a good sign there for the u. k. prime minister. i think so much journal home.

part of hong kong, as prominent pro democracy activists has been released from prison, agnes child serve more than 6 months in jail for her role and an anti government protest in 2019 the 24 year old was convicted along with activist joshua wong. and ivan lamb for an unauthorized rally near the headquarters. both agnes child and joshua long face, other charges on the pages. national security law is talk now to adrian brown. he joins us live on skype, from hong kong. so adrian and the reason given for the early release not so far, but it's interesting that ivan lamb, who was sentenced to with agnes child back in december, 2020, was released after serving 5 months of a 7 month term. so it's possible that agnes child has also been released and that she's getting time off for good behavior. but that is all. remember that you know

that the g 7 summit in comb, whoa. hong kong and what china is doing here is due to be discussed by the g 7 leaders. so it's possible that it's connected to that meeting, although we can't prove any about of course. now you mentioned in your introduction agnes child was that shared by some of her supporters as she left the women's jail in turn one on saturday morning. she didn't talk to journalists as she left, so we don't know how she's been treated well. she's been serving her time, some of her supporters chanted things like agnes child, add oil, which basically means keep going. some of the protesters were wearing black t shirts and carrying yellow and brothers, which of course are symbols of the pro democracy movement or rather what's left of it. agnes child, who sammy is perhaps one of the best known global faces upon combs pro democracy movement. what is left of it? and she has been prominent in the organization she helped to form called dome

a cisco with nathan lot and also joshua wong nathan north course is now in britain after playing hong kong last year following the introduction of that new national security or. ready what is the 1st name for others? what does it mean for long term cuz she's facing other charges right? well, absolutely. she was arrested back in august under that national security law, along with a 100 other activists now. she has not yet been charged, but it's possible in the coming weeks or months that she will be open. haps won't be also charged under national security is joshua, long and other well known prominent activities like jimmy, like the media tycoon. we have been seeing in the last few months, a real intensification of china's campaign against the center. and on saturday, the man who's basically china's point man here in hong kong knew who name said that

the people who were the real enemies of hong kong, with those calling for an end to one party rule. now the reason why he was speaking today is because it's just a few weeks before china marks the 100 anniversary of the chinese communist coffee . a very important time for china's leaders. and that's why i don't think you'll get to see a less up in their policies towards hong kong. right. thanks so much, adrian brown, they're. i'll jerry and voting in the 1st parliamentary elections since mass protest force the president to step down 2 years ago. the head arc pro democracy movement is urging supporters to boycott. the vote of the 7 of its leaders were arrested on 1st day. natasha, one aim reports. algerians have been promised a new algeria by president. i bill majid to boone. but for many, the 1st legislative elections since protesters pushed out his predecessor in 2019,

are heading for the same outcome, preserving the political status quo in their country. they 1000000000 and it will have, it turns out that jury ends up confirmed that for them elections have never been a solution and that's why they cut them on a dean and the elections are being held just after president boone dissolved the parliament. some members still had a year left on their term. the government says it inactive reforms designed to fight systemic corruption and create more opportunities for women and young people . more than half the candidates are running as independence. providing voters with an alternative to the old guard political parties who i'm going to vote because i see that they are candidates who will bring change to the country. knowing that the previous ones were more focused on their personal affairs and they forgot about people. critic say these elections are an attempt by the government to provide

a year of legitimacy to a young, frustrated population that continues to protest. that meant that the solution lies in them craddick transition. it also allows you to dialogue around the table in order to solve the crisis and the crisis will not be solved by elections. but unfortunately, the toward the still insists on their old practice of organizing elections. there has been a crackdown on protesters and journalists now there or calls for a boycott, which could give muslim parties a boost than this. but i do not give a voting caught. and in any case, even if i had one, i would not vote if last november's constitutional referendum is any guide, voter. turnout could be low back then only about one in 7 eligible algerians voted. natasha going to l just 0. still ahead on al jazeera,

news media have been left a sort through nick messaging on a quite complex story from mainstream street journal is been main objective, is to get me to send it to the wall and what's going on, exposing real world threats to objectivity. often about the return to moscow and neck and tunnels and people were arrested. the listening post covers the way the news is covered on a jazz ah, ah, the me watching al jazeera time totally cap, those headlines global vaccine access and time demick recovery are set to dominate talks on the 2nd day of the g 7 summit leaders meeting in the u. k of pledged the

1000000000 vaccines for low income countries, but the u. n says more action is needed. agnes ciao, one of hong kong, as most prominent activists, has been released from prison. she served more than 6 months in jail. her role in an unauthorized government protested in 2019 how syrians of voting in the 1st parliament, 3 elections since mass protest for the president. that bound 2 years ago, a head arc pro democracy moved and just urging support to the boy called the boat off the 7 of it's rested on 1st thing in iran, the 3rd and final presidential election debates will be held live on state television later on saturday, the theme is people's concerns, as iranians prepared to vote in next week's polls, candidates had a heated discussion and they laugh, televised debate accusing each other of treason and lacking in education. those jabari has more from her on. the majority of the people in this country are mainly

concerned with their livelihoods. that is the country's economy, the state of the country's economy, which has seen really the currency, the valued at a record pace over the past 8 years under president hassan and his government, the debates will likely highlight the concerns of the people as being of that of the country's economy, the candidates have yet to really clearly identify how they manage will manage to remedy the situation. they've spent most of their time during these debates which take 3 hours in duration that to attack each other and hurl insults at each other. they've even called this debates sort of game show format in which their moderator has really very little control over how these candidates respond. there's been a lot of concern from many of the people have spoken to here. many analysts believe these the base have done very little to solidify people's concerns in terms of how

these candidates would deal with the main issues and the topics that are of concern to the general public. nonetheless, this will be their final chance to try and convince the majority of the population about 60000000 radians are eligible to vote. to do that on friday, june 18th. the main concern is that people will not come out to vote on that day. iran has regained its right to vote in the general assembly after paying its minimum dues to the united nations says it was able to do so after the u. s. allowed it to use funds frozen in south korea to her on says it's been unable to access $20000000000.00 worth of oil revenues abroad because of sanctions imposed by for me. us president donald trump. iran voted in the general assembly on friday to elect 5 new members of the security council. molly's transitional government, his name, the new cabinet with colonel savio camaro. returning his defense minister. his removal was one of the reasons cited for last month's coo. the military seized

power accusing the president and prime minister of re shuffling the cabinet without consulting it. first. army officials have now been appointed to several high positions in government, led by colonel sidney goiter, who has sworn in as president on monday. william laurence is a former us diplomatic regional security officer in west africa. he says molly's military jones could be losing public support. so it was a little bit unexpected. for me we have 4 key positions that went to army officials . so in that sense, it's a more military military government following the qu, but we also had 5 positions, go to the m r t m 5 opposition mint. and even positions go to for rebels. and so that signal that the government is maybe less concerned about what the international think of it. but it's trying to endear itself to the molly and people and respond to some of their demands at least

symbolically by bringing these people into the government. so that was quite interesting. there was a lot of support with the removal of the previous government and previous president last august. but since then there isn't been too much support for the 1st. who are the 2nd, who in the cool leaders, there isn't much competing, is who leaders or are able to do much. and they haven't delivered much other than the actions and including to meet people in the government. they haven't really been able to offer much to promote, to overcome the twin security and economic crisis, which is at the heart of all approaches. so let malia just have a wait and see attitude to see if this government can deliver anything better than the previous government. and so far they haven't accomplished much. buzzfeed news has won a pulitzer prize. france investigation into the mask detention of wigan muslims in china before part serious cold bill to last use satellite images. to demonstrate
