that it won't change the political system a show of solidarity. hundreds gather in london to support palestinians demands an end to the u. k. is complicity, and israel is occupation. otherwise presidential hopefuls head into the final television debate will have a live update from 10, ron and i'm sorry, how much not have all the ford know about the joke of it broke the place and the french open final member went over his tribal raphael and the i s g 7 leadership that focused a foreign policy on the 2nd day of the summers in the u. k. they uniting against what they view as a resurgent china. they've agreed to support a us proposed mega project plan, which is designed to compete with china's belton road initiative. the u. s. plan called build back better as part of president jo bivens efforts to form

a more unified front to compete economically with china. preventing another pandemic is also a main point of discussion today. it's understood. the leaders will pledge to work on ways to stamp out future outbreaks within the 1st $100.00 days. dealing with this pandemic, though, the g 7 earlier announced plans to donate a 1000000000 doses of coven 19 vaccines to low income countries, which many see is a good 1st step, but ultimately, inadequate. let's go live now to cornwall on people to get us a james base is outside, forget to cancel. and so the ives, which is not far from the summit venue. so james, it seems that the china's bell from road initiative is to get some competition. how's that gonna work and why a g 7 lead us so keen to count to what they see is china's resurgence? well, i think they're worried about china and china's role in the world. they also make the point, the u. s. officials and it's the u. s. as a propose this,

that the belt and road initiative is not transparent. it's not goes with regard to the environment with regard to its effects on labor around the world. and they say countries that signed up to develop road initiative are going to end up worse off in the end financially many in debt to china. instead, there is now a rival, it is called the full title building back better for the world. that is going to have a shorthand, b 3, w is what it's going to be known as. it's an american proposal. it has, we believe now been backed by the g 7. the downside of this, why many will be wondering whether it's actually going to work is that we have no idea whatsoever on the funding of this massive interest infrastructure plan and where it's going to come from. we do know from your us officials that they are protecting by 2020, 35. that needs to be infrastructure investment of somebody like 40 trillion dollars,

and they're going to encourage countries to provide that money, but just look at president biden and his own country, the us is infrastructure bill that is still very tricky for him to get through. if the u. s. is going to provide it any funding where is that going to come from with congress so far? won't even fund his infrastructure plans in the u. s. i think the other question mark about this whole scheme is the belt and road initiative is a, is old and is it's got the belt and road is got spokes all over the world in africa and latin america in europe. the u. s. and now g 7 back rival plan is only now being dreamed of. and in terms of health, james, having plans to donate 1000000000 coven vaccines to a lower income countries. leaders. now looking at the future proof the world's pandemic response. yeah, that's right. as

a health meeting or health part of the meeting health session taking place in 2 hours time, the health campaign belinda gates will be briefing the g 7 liter. so will dr. ted ross the head of the world health organization? very, very different. remember from last year, when the president, the united states was criticizing dr. ted ross was cutting funding from the world health organization. now he's briefing those g 7 leaders as they come up with something called the cob. this bay declaration, which we think will be part of the final communicate, as you say, the plan is to look at all the things that had to be done by the world to get us to the situation where we are now, whether our vaccines and slowly those vaccines are being implemented in countries around the world. they will have a system where this could happen much better next time, though, there are still questions about what i else is going to be in the community k. and i think some are going to be disappointed as you know, many campaign as one promise judical companies to lift peyton's i don't see that as

going to be anywhere in the final communicate. all right, jamie many thanks. and d dot diploma. i think it's a james base reporting live that from cornwall in the u. k. well, as we mentioned, one of the issues, the g 7 leaders are likely to discuss today the growing assertiveness of china, especially in the asia pacific region. the rapid growth of china's military is helping to few regional arms race. that's what mcbride reports now from a naval trade show in the south korean port, city of tucson. the opening of an international exhibition, putting on display the latest in naval weaponry that's increasingly made in south korea. decades of maintaining military readiness, only divided peninsula have gradually transformed the country into an important manufacturer. so huge a little palm interviews and we've come to realize seem warrants of developing our own weapons for defense and were now able to produce weapons just as powerful as those made by other countries, which is a recent agreement with its ally. the united states. now allow of south

korea to develop longer range missiles with heavy payloads. and it follows the unveiling of a new home grown jet fighter prototype family. we have opened a new era of self defense and of also established a historic milestone in the advancement of the industry. it comes as south career and most asian neighbors are looking to spend more on new weapons driven in part by china's ballooning defense spending. and its expansion is portion the region with the breakaway island of ty, one once again becoming a potential flashpoint. it means days your pacific is increasingly via rena, full global rivalry to play out a one camp united states. in this i live confronting inevitable assertive china and russia in what starting to feel like a new type of cold war. and let's not forget,

of course the north korea factor, the failure of the last few years of the nuclear. isaiah talked with north korea as raised peers of a regional arms race going nuclear. if we fail to leak right, north korea and then you'll be growing voice with the nuclear station in south korea, then that will trigger for nuclear forces in japan. even tie one will be in the pushing for that idea. get would be the really night, mary. she scenario as relations between asian neighbors become more strained. so the rhetoric between them builds in anger, giving all of them ever more reason to arm up just in case problem, right. al jazeera boost on south korea. algerians voting in the 1st parliamentary election since mass protest force president emsella sees put a fleet to step down 2 years ago. the pro democracy movement is urging support,

as the boy called the both of the 7 of its leaders were arrested on thursday. that's actually a good name 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 be equally heather. it turns out that jury and confirm that for them elections have never been a solution and that's why they cut them on 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. whole people schedule. 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 in the between 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 sold by elections. but unfortunately, the authorities still insist on their old practice of organizing elections. there has been a crackdown on protesters and journalists now, now there are calls for a boycott which could give muslim parties of 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 named al jazeera. well, as tasha said, the snap election is being held under the shadow of anti government protests which been going on now for years. the protest movement hit act began in february 2019 against them. president douglas, he has both flickers decision to stand for a 5th turn. 2 months later, last processed pushed beautifully out of power after 20 years an office. but that didn't stop the anger or, and the protest. algerians began demanding a complete overhaul of their political system, and the end of the military's influence in politics. pandemic lead to a brief pause in the nation wide movement until february, when high unemployment and a failing economy led to further demonstrations. joining us now from casablanca,

as yasmin, as now we, a specialist on north africa, and a board member of the institute of her studies are on the list. good to have you with us. yes ma'am. how widely do you think that set this cold boy caught the elections will be observed? what will it mean for the elections? legitimacy is turn out to be low. well, 1st of all, it's important to recall the viewer. that area is governed. darn it to 1962, to newly created stage 262 by a military apparently. so admission to boone is the current president and each class for legitimacy. and he's the one rahim at barron. so i plan to read the election resolved as a stamp approval is complicated by the expected, the low voter turnout, many old jury and had to be boy guarding the the elections in the recent years. i mean, we saw that in the 2019 the presidential election, bad like

a 40 percent turn now why be 2020? referring them to the constitution had that low. we're record the voter turnout of 24 percent. at the same time. the leader shoot sheet rock refuses to enter into any dialogue because there was simply no response to dare to bear the men. just few days ago, we saw that more than $400.00 the citizens including political accident journalists and lawyers didn't also be signed a petition rejecting the current legislative election scheduled for, for today. and now the repression of the active is just 2 days ago. 3 are permanent figures of the hair rock movement were and erected, but they were released to release the air just yesterday, but that doesn't change anything, but also a big enough read little enthusiasm for both in that in the, in today's election. and we're reviewing that for 3 main cause of the 1st of all,

today's legit. profit is held in a very particular context where all jury and the go the you know, deep economy crisis. second, there have been a big career ration in the situations in relation between the id and the region. today, there are more than $200.00 people that are still be paid because they simply went out to the trees and spoke of their demand. and we also that on period trip, boy, he gave the green light. there are 2 expense of jury after the act to present to anyone who or we're anchors for a war very quickly, very quickly. the current l julian regimes explored i. r. a 14 are diverse in the jury and then we'd, we'd, you know, complex like the moroccan western,

her complex. so the interference something and the divert ok. the jury and with so many independent candidates and women standing 50 percent of candidates, a women. and in this election, surely that's, that's one reason for optimism. even though there are those arguing that all the government is doing is, is lending the election of veneer of legitimacy. it's not what was your question of the fact that there are so many women candidates standing in this election and independence are not part of the main political parties that's cause for optimism, isn't it? well, actually the, let me just recall that the read the court that there is a higher number of independent candidates among them. many women higher than that's going to get over the candidates from the political parties. but the 1st, but several of these independent countries that are or belong to us to the walk, to the system, to the same system. so are they going to bring whatever the current system is

asking for? that's the question it's not about has been women, it's about that those, those, the men and what are those independent and either be they women or, or you they're, they're going to are to up to brink or to, to, to brief dement of the shamrock and the all german citizens. ok, that's totally yes. and the facts and the for being with us. yes. and has no way that for him or still come here. all these are including thousands protested argentina demand vaccines and jobs to the country faces health and economic crises . providence, hong kong activist access child is released to serving a prison sentence, wrote in the 2019 protest. i didn't sport. it was a big night for football fans in rome, so they just from the european championship coming up later. ah,

saudi arabia is barring foreign pilgrims from attending the harsh muslim pilgrimage for a 2nd year due to the pandemic. while citizens and residents will be able to attend the number will be kept at 60000. normally, more than 2000000 people would travel to mecca to take part in what's seen as an obligation. so muslims to perform at least once in their life, locked out, has been imposed on chiles capital, despite more than half of its population being fully vaccinated, santiago has reported some of the worst curve at 19 case numbers. since the pandemic began 25 percent over the past 2 weeks, 98 percent of intensive care beds occupied thousands of protest as a nation wide us out as to demand better government support. as the country faces a steep, steep, economic and health crisis, infections are soaring in argentina, the government there is extended restrictions and approved. china is considered vaccine for emergency use, but many say they're struggling to survive without work. i'll to 0 to raise

a balance between preserving health and economic subsistence, but it's a challenge, especially when millions of people are struggling to make ends meet argentine, as government has extended pandemic restrictions for 2 more weeks to contain the spread of the virus. an average of 600 people are dying every day of coven 19. and 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 study to improve with vaccines coming from russia, china and the united kingdom come up when i read more much it out. we are know vaccinating at a faster speed, all our efforts 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 t lee 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

a major barriers in the fight against over 19 police. i will, i just want to fight it in the u. k. thousands of people are taking part of the demonstration and support of palestinian rights. the rally is part of the resistance g 7 day of action for international justice and launching through london right now towards the prime minister's official residence in downing street protest as a demanding and then to what they say is complicity. and israel is war crimes in the occupied palestinian territory by the u. k. and other g 7 gum let's, let's go live, not a london. i'll just serious pull brother this sample. what's happening? probably the federal government, tracy standing outside down the street. the prime minister, of course, isn't here. he's been poor for the 7. but if you said a little 40 people out, the latest in a series of demonstrations have taken place there. but if it is up and down the u. k over the past several weeks. it's sort of course with the attempt to forcibly

displace families mistakes area of occupied jerusalem. not poured out some 15000 people and that was followed up by a much bigger demonstration on may. the 22nd of march to hyde park, which attracted 200000 people. that was at the height regarding involvement by israel. and now of course you have the g 7 meeting and the demand for the people here hall for justice offense of accountability is ready for me. those 7 lead of joining me to explain. but the urging on this prop is the president of the muslim association of president ry got articulate. welcome. tell me. what is it? what is your message to the g 7 liter? we gather here on down and when he did of the g 7 countries pulled international law in the us. the national law is a fundamental part of one country to feel that the national law,

one faith pirates to be to think what we think is how does that mean with the continued ethnic cleansing continued disposition? the latest effect on the they've been your the 73 years waiting for those to be in. and i think it's time for those needed to talk about the feed and that had to be yes, boy is ready for to me and i'm to be mans. brady. smell, i'm complicity that deals with every with israel. i think it's funded medical for them to take action and to bring to justice out to me are you getting any indication of call that the g 7 is receptive to that kind of message? that the worry, i presume from your perspective is that garza bonn bob and focus essential. but after the bomb, bob, this is finish,

the world term from intention is elsewhere and nothing is ever resolved as it is the right. and it is frustrating. and this gathering here today with the, the fire is an indication that people c panel side as an issue that sometimes with the rise of attack, people somehow. but this is a continuous struggle that needed something obvious and it's doing double standards . so people are on the 3 saying we cannot. and this is not just about the bias coming people down, the continuous struggle palestinians on the ground. the section of the sea is continuing. the suffering is obviously still viewing from 7 to 3 years ago. and that won't stop until our need to demand that israel and i do see and hear the lucian in the attendance. all of these kind of demonstrations i observed last week, sorry on the may 22nd. demonstrate

a large young contingent seemingly activate for them. energized by, for example, the black live matter. i'm a sense of injustice in place shouldn't be ignored. black lives matter palestinian life not as well. and this is our message exactly that we should stand with any injustice around the world. they are international leaders. come out against any injustices by so they are here and they will be happy with it. they have political side, they have on field and they do that. but the reality they are imposing it, that we are involved in the injuries and the suffering of how to finance and we are trying this message will not be not just this has to be we have to call the galaxy with just against the injustice. i guess is the suffering a thank you,

right, i got to treat it. well, i'm sure this is not gonna be the last i'm associate take place here in central london. the question is, how much of an impact it can have on the meeting in that room enough for the house? is there a full run, a reporting live from very noisy demonstration in central london. any thankful at least 7 people have been killed in afghanistan, capital, cobble, and to explosions within 30 minutes to cover usa, minivans were hit. they were in an area dominated by the minority, has a community at least 6 other people. the injured 12 people were killed in a similar attack in the neighborhood last month. one of hong kong is providence. pro democracy activists has been released from prison. agnes char serves more than 6 months in jail for her role in an anti government protest in 2019 the 24 year old was convicted along with activists joshua long, and ivan lamb for an unorganized rally. the police headquarters for the fact was charla and joshua wong face other charges on the patients. national security law

from hong kong, adrian brown explains, or about the timing of her release. china and hong kong are going to be discussed at the g 7 summit in cornwall. and of course, you have to remember that it's very rare for people to be released from jail on a saturday in hong kong. yet that is what has happened. so coincident or no coincidence, we also have the fact that this is the anniversary, the 2nd anniversary of the 1st really violent protest here in hong kong that happened outside the many parliament that was when legislators were due to get the 2nd reading that controversial expedition bill which settled hope, chain of events, leading to months of unrest outside the jail, where agnes child saturday morning. there were plenty of umbrellas because it's a monsoon season here. but also those brothers were symbols of the continuing

resistance against chinese rule. agnes child herself certainly looks a lot thinner than she did when she was sentenced almost 6 months ago. she said nothing to the media when she left. and i think that is possibly because she was also arrested before has sentencing in an arrested under the new national security law. so i think she really wants to keep her comments to the media, to the absolute minimum at the moment she is. as we know, this was the one of the globally recognized spaces of the what's left of the pro democracy movement here in hong kong. and let's not forget, she was only a teen 1617 years old when she set up the demo cisco political party with joshua long and they from law that was back in 2014, when the umbrella movement began. that's kind of weather update. now that is our has everton, hello, we got more very heavy right into the central and southern parts of china. northern
