on the ground to bring you more award winning documentary and life needs. the discussion here in iran is moving away from the presidential election to questioning the system. there's really no way to think serious economy is collapsing on an online. ah, this is al jazeera ah hi there, i'm kimbell. this is the new law from doha. coming up in the next 60 minutes. us president joe biden valley support from g 7 leaders to help chime this influence. this all discussing how to bring an end to the corona virus pandemic. protest is protected rob together in london to call on g 7 needed to deliver

justice for palestinians. jerry and the vote in parliamentary elections of democracy activists. they won't change the political system. and russia put strict measures in place as it sees a huge spike and covet 900 cases in the past week. and i'm lia hardy was fort as the women's spinal at the french open tennis goes into the fighting set. and in football, european championship whales. back to ernie, 11, draw with switzerland who had a winner ruled out by v a r. ah . on day 2 of the g 7 sama 12 lead is a shifting their focus from the pandemic to foreign policy. that you know anything against what they view as a resurgent, china, and threats from russia. they've agreed to a us lead initiative aimed at rivaling chime is belt and road infrastructure

project whitehouse. so the aim would be to provide a transparent infrastructure partnership to help developing nations us present, joe biden is also pushing a strong action against china for its repression of the week and minority and discussions on global health. of course, continue, leaders have announced and historic plan to prevent future pandemic. it includes flashing the time for drug and vaccine development to $100.00 days. but i'm to say that doesn't address vaccine access for poor nations. and diplomatic edited james base is outside trigon, castle. net st. i've and joins us live for james. what exactly is this infrastructure initiative? and will it really challenge the belton road initiative? what is something that us officials have been pushing for? and clearly they've got backing, i think now from the other g 7 leaders and it will be reflected in the communique.

yes, the idea is to rival china's belt and road initiative. they say that there is will be more transparent. they say that it will be fitting international environmental and labor standards, unlike the belts, road initiative, they say, and they say that countries will actually benefit from it. they say many of the countries of signed up to joint as belts and road initiative, which now has spokes all over the world actually. and i'm going to do well out of it at all that can end up in debt to china. so it's an ambitious idea, but for now it's only an idea and it is very late because remember, the belt note initiative is existed for 8 years. it's very well developed there in practice. was this right now is just a dream. and the other big problem is the financing of this us officials, briefing reporters that they estimate it. there was a 40 trillion dollar infrastructure gap. this could meet around the world between now and 2035. but where are they going to get the funding for all this is going to

cost that much money. and i think that's a very, very big question that isn't dance that the u. s. a pushing this idea, but it's worth reminding you that the u. s. is own infrastructure bill jo biden's infrastructure belt does not yet have support in congress if he can get support for building in the u. s. and rebuilding in the u. s. is not clear that the u. s. is going to find any funding to support this new idea. and james, the health session, it should be about getting under way. what's happening there? well, the g 7 partisans business and the other nations are attending here, have been joined by some other guests. melinda gates, the health campaigner, is going to be at this session, the un secretary general antonio terrace is going to be that, as is the head of one of my un agencies, the world health organization. dr. ted ross. interesting that compare that with a year ago, when dr. ted ross was frozen out by the trump administration and they cut the

funding for the world health organization very different one year on. the idea is to come up with a declaration part of the final communicate called the cob, is a declaration that's named off to the place, the just very close to where i am now with the beach where the summit is being held. and the idea is to prevent future pandemic. so look at all the things that had to be done over the last year or so. and see if you can find ways to spot when there's a pandemic coming and develop a vaccine. and other measures much, much more quickly campaign is i think we'll be pointing to things that they haven't all doing though. for example, the coal for peyton's to be lifted on vaccines. that i don't think as we currently see, things is going to be in the final communique. but these meetings of a fair that to run. we've still got some more time for sessions here on saturday. and then most of a day of sunday of these leaders meeting that may be focus the sunday sessions on

climate change. all right, thank you for that time space. there aren't that the magic editor and the u. k. thousands of people have taken part in the demonstration in support of palestinian rights. the rally is part of the resist g 7 day of action for international justice . there marching through london right now with the prime minister's official residence in downing street protest is a demanding and, and what they say is complicity and israel's war crimes and palestra, palestine by the u. k. and other g 7, governments poll brennan joins may not live from london. paul, what's happening there now? well, i'd say an update is that the protesters largely finished and the crowd has started . in fact, as large space and some stragglers of my shoulder just outside the gates of downing street who are chanting free palestine. but to come back to the main points of this and it is resist g 7 and an international day for international justice and

listening to james bass talking from cobb and bay that one of the things that isn't specifically on the agenda for the g 70. this is the situation between israel and the palestinians. about russia, china climate change, the environment, the economy, but not the specific issue of israel and the palestinian people for the people here in the u. k has been protesting 3 times in large scale over the past month. that is significant disappointment. so there is a message being sent from this demonstration here. and joining me to make the message is benji mouth. director of the palestine solidarity campaign fan. 3 big demos in the last month. what is your message to the g 70 it is. you know, this is web demonstration signed today's the on going series of protests for the palestinian people. but this is, as you say, this is a demonstration that is also part of the wide ranging resist,

the g 7 demonstrations. and the message is that we believe that the struggle for justice, the palestinian people isn't indivisible of the why. the struggle against colonialism against racism, gangs, or unjust struck to the power i'm. those unjust structures, a power cannot sustain themselves, cannot exist without the direct action and the support conflicts, governments, including every single member of the g 7. i can define complicity i had that was, that was a lot of this demonstration on the previous demonstrations. what is competitive? well, let's focus, particularly because we're here. i saw dining straight on the complexity of our government and it goes back decades begun in 1017 with the bulk of the ration. it continued through the mandate which lay the seats for the dispossession, the palestinian people. and since $948.00 successive british governments at 1st of all failed to take action. so continue to say they hold international law. they criticize israel pres, violations of international law,

but it refused to take meaningful action through the position of sanctions beyond that continued to provide diplomatic, political material and military support for his route, for example, through the ongoing to way on the right. there's no justification for that needs to stop. one of the challenges that you have and i spoke to another organizer a little earlier, is maintaining your pressure, israel's not on the official gender of the g 7. i'm sure it will be discussed privately in bilateral. but as played football and who gaza is not finished, it's away from the headlines again. how do you propose to continue your campaign during the summer and build on? so you build on the momentum that you've seen is generated over the past 5 weeks. yeah. we do that in a range of ways, rallying marching is that it keeps on the agenda when it mobilizes people. and it gives a sense of community of people the function to care about issues of international justice. but you're right, we have to use all the leave of the power available to us within

a democratic society. that means we lobby and paste on july the 8th. we're organizing a national lobby, a parliament falling to sanctions and fully for the u. k. government to recognize human rights work sites that this is in the site on july, the 9th, the anniversary of the call, the boy, the best way sanction students will be demonstrating for older universities to earn their investments and companies complicit and israel's apartheid. and finally, on july, the national day of action targeting kuma, one of the complicit companies that would be demonstrations right side shop, something to me, a goods across the ukraine, a big demonstration. i saw the unit still in and we can't using all of these leverage. we inform people, we ask them to lobby, we often to type in direct voice. we ask them to lobby the public bodies that continue to invest in complex companies as well. thank you for joining us. as you had that, it's not that big

a setback that it's not on the g 7 agenda, but the campaign will continue during the summer and their political pressure will continue to be applied. all right, thanks then pull brandon there in london. well in the palestinian territory, protest as of june together in the salon neighbourhood and occupied east jerusalem to denounce the threat of force displacement that's threatening many palestinian families. the forced expulsions are expected to make way for israeli set loose. i'll just there is stephanie deka is the protest and joined us live. stephanie, what are we expect? thing to happen there today? well, these protests have been called really on a weekly basis. we are expecting one to take place in about half an hour from now. you mentioned we are just one which is one of the neighborhoods that have had consecutive targeting when it comes to that the moving end of israeli settlers,

if it comes to either arguing that the land was owned by a jewish trust over a 100 years ago or whether it's radius claim that some of the areas of his neighborhood used to be the gardens of king david. but you've seen over the years over decades, really that you have settlers moving in displacing policies. and so either that's by court cases for st. expulsions from homes demolition orders when it comes to demolition orders. what that means is that palestinians either have to demolish their own homes or pay for israel to do it. so what the palestinians will argue is that some of the laws that this country has israel has to back up the claims. if you know these jewish, i please, jewess can can prove that. they own the land over a 100 years ago. policy didn't have the same rights, they will tell you they were expelled from their homes in 1948 in 1967, even though they have the same paperwork, they cannot have the same rights. so this is an ongoing process,

even though the international spotlight is on it now. kim, this has been going on for decades and will continue to do so. that was my next question. stephanie. the momentum against things forced expulsions really shows no signs of slowing down, but as you say, this has been going on for decades. so what is it that's different now? well it's different in the fact that because of the events of the last month or so, you have the international spotlight again and also a lot of social media coverage. you have some of the family, some of the young men and women living in some of these neighborhoods making a real splash when it comes on social media, raising awareness of something that has been going on again, as we say for very long time. this is not new, this is what policies have had to endure in occupied east jerusalem. the increasing what they call jude zation of their neighborhoods of also part of the old city. of course, you know, if you look at the bigger picture, east jerusalem is what palestinians want as a capital if any potential future state. if you look at the ground and if you look

at what's been happening over the last years, increase settlement expansion. this process of trying to push out palestinians from their homes to make way for jewish settlers and increasing right wing israelis. they will tell you that a palestinian state is almost unfeasible at this point in time because it's pocket hold full of it's no longer cohesive. so i think what they're trying to do with, in, with keeping up these protests, even though sometimes they're really not many numbers. kim, but it's to try and keep the international spotlight on it. because is really courts even just last week postponed really on whether to the, to families from this neighborhood. why i suppose you could potentially guess that because everyone is watching because if these people are thrown out of their homes overnight, the international agenda is on that. so i think this is what the protectors are trying to do, even though it's sometimes it's only 506020 people. they want to keep, the call is going on and as we say, this is not new. it's just simply, we're talking about it now because of the events of the last month. but this is

what people have been enduring for decades and will tell you will continue to happen. right. thanks for that. for now, stephanie deca, there paid more, had all the news, all, including i've got a song struggle with a 3rd wave of the pandemic, abductive on the only ones battling the virus. struggling to make ends meet, how millions of families and the richest country on earth, a coffin with food and security, and in for 10 affection from the women's final, at the french open, coming up with me. ah, jerry and the voting and the 1st parliamentary election since mass protest for president sample as the flicker to step down 2 years ago. but the pro democracy movement is urging it supporters to boycott. the vote of to 7 of its leaders were

arrested. about a has a crucial test for the legitimacy of president of the machine to boon who was elected after mass proto, forced out president of the last 2 years ago. his government has been asking people to show up in huge numbers for saturdays parliament. revote is biggest concern, a low, we're turn out that good. the deeper the countries political crisis, algerians remain widely skeptical about reforms promised by the president. the protest movement that galvanized the nation in to 1019 against the ruling class is now calling for a boycott. willis, who knows there's some people are parties trying to impose their dictates on us without us knowing who they represent. not just one person to or groups can impose their dictates on 45000000 julians. the people wanted elections. and today,

we see the turn out for them to boons. though suppressing task is to revive an economy battery by declining all revenues corruption, and coven. 19. he wants to restore confidence in a government tarnished by decades of corruption to the country to keep going and to improve our situation. we have to help each other with good deeds. algeria president recently told al jazeera his country was run for many years. but what he called a left talk rossi. but despite his assurances to crack down on the management, many on the streets still insist the ruling elite should go opposition party, such as the secular socialist was this bronze, or f, f. s, and the rally for culture and democracy, boycotting the election. both parties are popular in the northern kabibi region,

a focal point of descent. the decades long governing parties, the national liberation front, f l n, and national democratic riley, aaron de, could lose support. the conservative been our party and the movement of society for peace or m. s. b brace to expand the political influence according to analysts. but whether comes to power with face, the daunting task of convincing algerians that change has come. hush, my bottle al jazeera yasmin house always is a specialist on africa and a board member of the institute of the horon studies. and she explains why many areas of boycotting the vote. oh, jerry is governance governance. since 962, i to newly created state 262 by military apparently. so admission to boon is the

current president. and it's quite that for legitimacy, admin, heated to regime at barron plan. 23 elections resolved as a stamp approval is complicated by the expected, the low voter turnout. many algerians have the boy guarding the the elections in the recent years. i mean, we saw that in the 2019 the presidential election had like a 40 percent turnout while the 2020 refer them to the constitution. had that low record, the voter turnout of 244 percent at the same time, the lead them the rock review, the inter into any dialogue because there was simply no response to their to their the men. just few days ago, we saw that more than $400.00 citizens, including political accident journalists, and lawyers didn't also be signed to petition rejecting the current legislative

election scheduled for today. and now the repression of the active is just 2 days ago. 3 are permanent figures of the heroic movement work and erected, but they were really, really just yesterday, but that doesn't change anything. and also, and as i am speaking now, there is little enthusiasm for both in, not in the, in today's election. saudi arabia is borrowing foreign pilgrims from attending the hardship muslim pilgrimage for a 2nd year due to the pandemic. all citizens and residence will be able to attend. the number will be kept at 60000. normally, more than 2000000 people would travel to mecca to take puff and was seen as an obligation for most of us to perform at least once in their life. covered 900 cases

arising in russia, particularly in big cities like moscow. but it's mayor as ruling out any new locked downs. russia recorded more than 13000 new cases on saturday. that's the highest single day number since february, moscow accounted for nearly half of those infections. the may, i believe the peak could come next month than its moth has the license details from moscow. the although restaurants and bars will have to close at 11 pm, you're still supposed to wear masks in door. the problem is that it's not particularly rigorously portal rigorously observed. you do see people wearing must be in goals, but they're often on the nose is all there under that chain or people just don't wearing them at all. and the difficulty seems to be a hasn't been a concerted nationwide campaign about cove it. the last lockdown was in russia full. total lockdown ended 12 months ago. and it only lasted for a couple of months. the mayor of moscow,

he says it's remarkable that hospitals are filling up while vaccines are readily available. consider this about 12 percent of russians. i've had one dose of the corona, virus vaccine compared to the united states to canada, to the rest of your and your talking between 45 and 60 percent of people have had at least one dose. first of all, it seems to be that people are generally vaccine skeptical here, between 60 and 70 percent of people say they're not willing to get a backseat. and that seems to stem from a general distrust of what the government is trying to get them to do this. despite the fact that rushes back to the next 5 inter, internationally recognized as being very, very effective. more than 391 and 93 percent efficacy, nevertheless, russians are reluctant to get vaccinated of gone sounds. government is asking for international help has grapples with a 3rd wave of infections. only a fraction of people have been vaccinated against corporate 19 and hospitals are

once again filling up with critically ill patients. frank, a group that has more side. alicia was gasping for when his wife brought him to this hospital and cobble, he spent 4 days in intensive care. his doctor says he is covered 19, like other patients around him. but in have gone, his son, doctors don't just fight the virus, but also fear, and stigma will hold on. i'm not infected by the corona virus and i have a chest infection and cough ice cream. the weather was cold and so i got a chest infection for a 3rd wave. the pandemic is pushing hospitals still breaking point in a country of 39000000 people. they are barely enough. i see you beds or oxygen for patients. the kaufman says the next 4 weeks will be difficult. i mean, i told also the private hospitals are not taking care of us as well. they take money from us and send us back home saying they don't have any oxygen. they don't

have ambulances. several 100, a few people are seeking treatment or even agreeing to a coven 19 test. even though the number of infections and deaths arising fast, the official figures don't seem to reflect that number could be and estimated because the most of the hospital who have the capacity or this in this company to do the p c. r. testing of the corporate vision di did, they are not like that to just all the people who are coming to them or they cannot do that content. trusting of kind of stuff has been able to vaccinate, fewer than one percent of its population in a country where life is ever uncertain under the constant threat of attacks and political instability. the virus is pausing a challenge for a government which was barely prepared for the pandemic, let alone its worst waves so far. priyanka 0. while the

u. s. economy is showing signs of recovery. millions of families still struggling to put food on the table. public health experts save food insecurity more than doubled during the pandemic. federal aid is helping fund food banks, but many still rely on the kindness of strangers. and collect reports from miami. during the worst of the panoramic food banks across the u. s. inundated with families in need of help, many were facing food insecurity for the 1st time. as businesses closed and jobs were lost. but even now food banks remain in high demand. when chef peter votel was approached by a south florida food program to help, he didn't hesitate. today's meal break, chicken and vegetables. jasmine rice, caesar salad, and a beautiful piece of chocolate chocolate chocolate cake, feeding america a nonprofit group projects. more than 40000000 people may experience food insecurity in 2021. a number that includes 13000000 children, hospitality,

something's been in my, my blood since i was very young and this is part of hospitality. i. i enjoy this when i see the pictures of the people that are getting the food in the smiles on their faces. that makes me happy that makes a hard week worthwhile. so much volunteers from food rescue us take meals from restaurants and soup markets across miami. sometimes it's food that would get thrown out. instead it's given to those that need it. the retail santa catarina use the service herself before volunteering and seeing how big the problem is. every time we we would go and do the meals distributions that we would always run out. we would be there for 2 hours and it would not be. we would never stop. the line would never stop and we would run out of food every time. there are always people left in the supply chain issues and closures. during the pandemic made the problem worse, meaning it will likely take time for food insecurity levels to recover. groups like food rescue, a focused on speeding that recovery up. according to the u. s. department of

agriculture between 30 to 40 percent of all food is wasted every year. that's enough to feed around 25000000 people with grassroots openings ations like this and a network across the country. they can at least trying to alleviate the problem even before the pandemic food insecurity was a major issue, particularly poorer communities. the u. s. government committed a $1000000000.00 to help, while volunteers continue to do their part in their own communities. at a galaxy, al jazeera miami beach, florida, the costco boston her at least 7 people have been killed in campbell and 2 explosions. to commute events were hit within 30 minutes of one another. they were in an area dominated by the minority community. 12 people were killed in a similar attack in the neighbourhood last month for asylum seekers from of cornerstone have been sentenced to 10 years in prison for burning down europe's largest margaret camp. agreed. court ruled the group intentionally set fire to the

quite a shamal setting in as well. so some very dusty condition is very little showing up on the satellite picture. but at brisk northwest, the wind driving through lifted dust and sand, coming out of iraq through q 8 at east side of saudi arabia running across here in the concert hall with a high of $41.00 celsius, i don't show a brace paying the temperature back into by to around 37 celsius, we'll see that some of the conditions as we go on into monday. meanwhile, we pushed further south. it's dry, his stay sunny across a good part of the horn of africa. the showers continue rumbling away across central areas of africa with some big and heavy rain coming in across the central african republic for a time just pushing across into the gulf of guinea. further south, a lot of dry weather, much of southern africa, is set fair. but you can see this very wet weather that we do have across the eastern side of madagascar. that's going to be in place as we go on into the next
