on al jazeera ah be the hero, the world needs right now. i must, ah, the. ready who's this is al jazeera? ah, hi there, i'm kimbell, this is ben hughes, all law from doha. coming up in the next 60 minutes. president joe biden pushes g. 7 lead is for an alliance against china. they announce plans for global infrastructure projects to rival the belt and road initiative. russia put strict emissions in places that sees a huge spike and covered 19 cases in the past week. people who st,

throwing balance into garbage bins and algeria were badly, anyone is turned out to vote and parliamentary addiction and struggling to make ends meet. how millions of families in the richest country on f, a coping with food insecurity. and i'm, we're harding with sport, the euro 2020 game between denmark and finland have been suspended after denmark, player christian ericsson collapse and require cpr on the pitch. he's now said to be fable in hospital. ah. do you feel like it is, have expanded their focus beyond the pandemic, to include key foreign policy issues or they to of this, unless the cornwall region of england on foreign policy, they're uniting against what they view as a research in china by supporting us plan. but rivals, china is belt and road initiative. i'm looking at an agreement designed to prevent

another pandemic. this would include working to spawn disease outbreaks, early and stamps, and out within $100.00 days. a diplomatic editor james phase is outside chicken castle. net st. i've. so james, tell us more about this infrastructure initiative to rival china and as everybody singing from the same phone sheet, it seems so it's certainly an american idea and certainly for now it looks like the g 7 is going to back it. there are questions about this new initiative, which is called building back better for the world. catchy title. the short hand these b 3 w. this is supposed to be arrival to the boston road initiative. the us says the boston road is not transparent. it's not helping with regard to the environment and labor around the world and the countries that have signed up to this chinese plan,

which has been going on now for 8 years and has spokes all over the world. they say, are not many of them benefiting from it in the end. the problem though, the big question is how is this going to be financed? this new u. s. lead initiative is coming 8 years after the belt and road initiative, which is well established around the world. us officials estimate there is a 4 trillion dollar infrastructure gap to be plug between now and 2035. where though is huge amounts of money like that. got to be found. it's the question with this stage, and certainly there won't be any funding in the final communique from the g separate. and so it's an aspiration at this stage. and james president spied and is of course, going to have that much anticipated meeting with russia vladimir putin next week. so i'm wondering what's been discussed among g 7 leaders in terms of russia.

russia has been discussed. we know that from 1st from the line, the president of the european commission, she's been tweeting about the security threat that russia still poses to europe. we don't know much about what they've said about russia behind closed doors because it was behind closed doors. but i'm sure that some of the leaders and president biden was meeting for some time with president macro, who knows president bush and well dealt with many times before. president biden is vice president senator has dealt with i've been teaching before, but i'm sure many of these leaders would be giving us presidents some advice on this key meeting that takes place in geneva, the face to face confrontation between the u. s. leda and the russian president. james, of course, covered 19 is front and center of this summit. beyond those 1000000000 doses that have been pledged for lower income countries will be place for low income

countries. what else has come out of this summer? well, they've had a meeting in the last few hours among those briefing them dr. tet dross, the head of the world health organization. remember, dr. ted ross was frozen out by the trump administration of the world health organization at all it's funding cut. it's changed now. he's at the center of all of this, and they've been looking in the last few hours on what to do, to avoid another covey. 19 another pandemic that takes the world by surprise, how to prepare themselves g 7 countries, but the entire world setting up a unit is going to spot the expand. but then early wake working out ways that the vaccine preparedness can be there so that it doesn't take as long to produce a vaccine next time around. so all sorts of plans that will help the g 7 spot when there is a threat coming in terms of global health and deal with it much more quickly. ok,

james, phase diplomatic, thank you for that. was bring you an update now on a developing story that were following danish for bullet christian ericsson is said to be in a stable condition and hospital off the collapsing during the euro. 2020 game against finland. midfielder who plays for interval arm fell on the pitch during the 1st half bunker joined sounds. now for more on this from london, neeve, what happened? well, 1st, a quick update on how christine erickson is doing, according to be player, is now being treated in hospital. he's in a stable concert condition away for confirmed that off the after the health emergency, a crisis meeting was cool between both the danish and finish size, but he was stretched should off the pitch conscious. a picture was taken off him holding his forehead, his eyes opened still clearly very much in

a somewhat dazed state. what we know is that the ball without a play just before half time that was thrown by kit and close the corner flag, christine ericsson ran over to it and seemed to stumble towards the ball. we 7 bounced off his knee and her face planted. the tough, i think, was alerted near by players was the, it was actually lying with his head on the side, but his eyes open, the referee. that was over seeing the game. notice this very, very quickly. we're talking about split seconds and he waved over the medical team and they quickly checked his pulse and decided to flip him over and then carry out chest compressions at that point. but many of the players realize the severity of it all surrounded the player. let's don't forget all of this was happening live for on television in front of a very, very large crowd of launch. the danger support is a little bits of code happening in copenhagen. the danish capital decision was

taken by many tv networks to cut away from the show before a decision was made to to suspend the game. good news, though is the play is now in a stable condition. but this, all of this happening in front of also is why we believe that she came onto the pitch was consoled by one of the danish players. also in the stands members of that much room, family, and nave. we are hearing that that game will review today. we've just heard that there's just coming to us here. tell us a bit more about eric said he's a player who's been at the top of his games and he will say, decision to resume the game, gives you an idea of how confidently about the health of the player. yes, as you mentioned that very much the top of the game is 29 year old player. some of

the senior player within the danish side, given his age, but he began his career playing for the dog side. i x, he was signed only last year. so the challenge thought ac milan back in 2010, he was young, one of the youngest international players to play in the fif. well, come. so i might who was incredibly well respected across the board. comparisons already being made between this incident playing out in copenhagen and a similar incident that happened back in 2012. when the bolt and wondrous player brief, more number collapsed in the middle of a game. it turned out later that he had had a cardiac arrest and clearly more and has been watching these developments some fold very close to because he is tweeting words of support to christie and eric's and saying that he was in his thoughts and prayers. clearly striking a court with more amber. ok, thank you for that update. then the fall for us

a lie from london. her thousands of people put in a demonstration in support of palestinian rights in london. the valley was part of the resist g 7 day of action for international justice and march towards the british prime minister's official residence and downing street protest is demanded an end to what they say is complicity and israel's war crimes and palestine by the u. k. and other g 7 governments. benjamin is the director of the palestine solidarity campaign. he says the british government should take severe action against israel, including sanctions. this is a demonstration that is also part of the wide ranging resist, the g 7 demonstrations and message is that we believe that the struggle for justice, the part of the people isn't indivisible of the why. the struggle against colonialism against racism, thanks for unjust, struck to the power i'm. those are just stuck to the power cannot sustain

themselves, cannot exist without the direct action in the support implicit governments including every single member of the g 7. let's focus, particularly because we're here, i saw dining straight on the complexity of our government and it goes back to begun in 917 with about the ration continued through the mandate, which lay the seats for the dispossession, the senior people. and since 1948 successive british governments at 1st of all failed to take action. so continue to say they uphold international law. they criticize this roper's violations of international law, but it refused to take meaningful action through the imposition of sanctions. beyond that continued to provide diplomatic, political material and military support for his route, for example, through the ongoing to arms. right. there's no justification for that needs to stop . hundreds of protest is rallying against israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu . the demonstration comes ahead of a crucial competent social parliament could see the end of his premiership for

months that have been called from the author now who rather to resign over his indictment on corruption challenges. well, there is stephanie deka is at the protest and joins us now live. stephanie, so this is an anti netanyahu gathering? what are they all saying? the welcome. this is more of like a mini party mini celebration, really rather than just a weekly program outside to run really private intervention. and of course, what is very different about tonight and very significant technically. tomorrow officially, there will be the swearing incompetence of a new government and seeing a new prime minister that will be that to be better. now please raise your been challenging go the for me are particularly have the real room

over that 5 minutes about i was not necessarily going to be vacating golf course street tomorrow or the day after he could stay according to his office for the next days and we certainly are private for 12 years. he's always said that he only wants to leave the country can provide for you, but certainly now it's been a pretty much over at the moment that people will tell you he is a political monitor mind. he will still be an opposition, he's allowed. * to address that connect to tomorrow as leader of the biggest opposition party. i had many people will tell you still want to watch. of course, you mentioned there. he is facing corruption charges. he faces jail time and the prime. any position in this country that has immunity the moment he uses that, there's a very real probability of him going to jack. it does look kind of celebratory

there. stephanie, as you said, benjamin netanyahu as a political survive. if this boat goes against him, do you think netanyahu will go quietly? but many people will tell you that you should have a party. it is a very practical. it's really parliament. when this is a conversation that has 11 bedroom without and the bar he had said that everything to break down and you've got a moment. so what it looks like we have agreement by putting a marty, i say tomorrow we will see the voting up and you will remain opposition. so at that commentary here in the media will question,

how long the government is going to law. they are divided. you have to the right to the center for the 1st time, united arab so very to fight when it comes to policy, which some people hear what not telling us to do what we need to keep protesting because we don't think anything will change. we don't think that a lot of these right wing policies are going to change just because we have such a diverse governments. i think maybe tech market and it will be significant to see i this was no longer present apartment. it's benjamin that you know at the top, but that they will tell you now the challenge of government will be vive and i think on tuesday, just briefly applied mars the rise, which is quite weak. it's rating march parts of occupied jerusalem that has the potential to ignite the st once again, that many would argue could be a very 1st pass for this new government was $45.00. thank you for that. stephanie deca there and west jerusalem, plenty morehead on the news,

a crucial test for the legitimacy of president of the machine to boon who was elected after mass protest force our president of the last 2 years ago. his government has been asking people to show up in huge numbers for saturdays parliament revote its biggest concern a low. we're turn out that good the deeply, the country's political crisis. algerians remain widely skeptical about reforms promised by the president, the protest movement that galvanized the nation in 2019 against the ruling class is now calling for a boycott. women 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. there are dictates on 45000000 algerians. the people wanted

elections. and today, we see the turn out for them to boons. those pressing task is to revive and economy battered by a declining all revenues corruption and coven. 19. he wants to restore confidence in a government tarnished by decades of corruption from 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 quasi. 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 forces front and the valley for culture and democracy. boycotting the election. both parties are popular in the northern

kabibi region, a focal point of descend. the decades long governing parties, the national liberation front, f l n, and national democratic riley, aaron de could lose support the conservative ben up party and the movement of society for peace or m. s b brace to expand their 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 yasmine, hast thou, a specialist on north africa and a board member of the institute of the horn studies. unless she explains why many algerians boycotting the vote. oh, jerry is governance governance since 962 i to newly created stage 262 by a military apparently. so i've committed to boon is the current president. and it's

quest for legitimacy. i mean, he's the one regime at barron so plan $23.00 elections resolved as a stamp approval is complicated by the expected, the low voter turnout. many algerians have to be 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. why the 2020 referendum to the constitution had that low record butcher turn out of 244 percent. at the same time, the little 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 that she did with including political accident journalist and lawyer didn't find

a petition rejecting the current just let the election scheduled for today. and the know the, the repression of the active is just 2 days ago. 3 or a permanent figures of the heroic movement were arrested, but they were released to release the air just yesterday, but that doesn't change anything. and also, and as i am speaking with little enthusiasm for both in not in the, in today's election, pensions are running hard between police and protests is on the streets of new jersey as capital. demonstrators are drawing attention to a high profile case of police brutality. earlier this week, video posted online, showed police stripping and beating a young man, triggering widespread anger. the officers involved have since been suspended in saudi arabia is borrowing foreign pilgrims from attending the hardship muslim pilgrimage

wearing them at all. and the difficulty seems to be hasn't been a concerted nationwide campaign about cove it. the last lockdown was in russia for total lockdown and 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 russian. i've had one dose of the corona, virus vaccine compared to the united states to canada, to the rest of your and that you're 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 is 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. i've got to sound government is asking for international help. as grapples with a 3rd wave of infections. only a fraction of people have been vaccinations against covert bunting, and hospitals once again filling up with critically ill patients. franco group has more side alicia was gasping for and when his wife brought him to this hospital and cobble, he spent 4 days in intensive care. his doctor says his coven 19 like other patients around him. but in have gone, a son, doctors don't just fight the virus, but also fear, and stigma will hold all. i'm not infected by the corona virus. i have a chest infection and cough ice cream. the weather was cold and so i got a chest infection for tween the pandemic is pushing hospital still breaking point

in a country of 39000000 people. they are barely enough. i see you beds are oxygen for patients. the government says the next 4 weeks will be difficult. so 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 a green took over 19 test. even though the number of infections and deaths arising fast, the official figures don't seem to reflect that. the number could be and distributed because the most of the hospital who have the capacity or does this get really to do the p c r, testing of the corporate mission? d, do not like that to just all the people who are coming to them are they cannot do that conduct trusting of kind of stuff has been able to vaccinate, fewer than one percent of its population in
