6:00 pm
ah, how jazeera, when i write down to the i me this is al jazeera. ah. hi there. i'm kim banal. this is ben use on knowledge from doha, coming up in the next 60 minute, g 70 to commit to increasing funding to fight climate change. promised to provide more over 19 vaccines globally be heated exchanges and politicians, the schools out israel's parliament prepared devotion and new government
6:01 pm
nigeria and its neighbors build up the ground, air and sea off and alls against increasing attacks by pirates and football funds are enjoying the return of some major tournament the corporate 19, of course, is still causing concern. but it's been a good day for england fan range sterling schools to give them a one know when over croatia may euro campaign ah. g 7, they did say 2021 is a turning point for our planet that just finished their stomach, and cornwell and southwest england, and where they agreed on new targets to tackle climate change, including having greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 financing a green transition. suppor nations, british prime minister, calling it's
6:02 pm
a green industrial revolution. while it's fantastic, every one of the g 7 countries has pledged to whitehouse our contributions to climate change. we need to make sure we're keeping that as fast as we can and helping developing countries at the same time. bus activist stay the pages are too vague and rich nations have a dismal record in sticking to the climate change promises. the previous days of the summer ended with an agreement for an ambitious global maker project to rival china's growing influence. and lead is also in our plans to vaccinate as many people as possible and to prevent future pandemic. critic said they don't do enough to ensure the most vulnerable people a protected lead. diplomatic editor james base is outside trigon, castle. net st. eyes and james, we've just heard from bar johnson and from president biden. what did they have to say? what were the main takeaways well,
6:03 pm
i think the main themes from this summit still as you'd expect after the year we've all been through cobra 19. we have the promise from the g 7 of a 1000000000 doses of vaccine for. ready countries around the world that hadn't been able to procure those doses, but just listen to one of those attending the meeting. got to ted ross, the head of the world health organization. he says, 11000000000 doses a needed. i think the other main theme was the fact that president biden was here rather than president trump, and he seems to share the same ideas as the other leaders. you got back to a situation where the, all these key allies around the table with america leading and president bite, made it quite clear with america back in at the table and fully engaged that that was what was needed to deal with what he said was the main challenge. i know this going to sound somewhat prosaic, but i think we're in a contest with china per se. when
6:04 pm
a context with autocrat autocratic governance around the world as whether not democracies can compete with them in a rapidly changing 21st century. and i think how we act and whether we pull together democracies is going to determine whether our grandkids look back to 15 years now and say, did they step up? are democracies as relevant as powerful as they have? man, i think the countries he's talking about that include china and in the final communique there's quite a lot of language that china was like criticism of what's going on with regard to the weak as criticism of what's happening in hong kong. and this new plan to rival the belton road initiative with a new g 7 backed project going forward, and also russia. remember, the president biden goes on from here to meet nato allies and then you leaders and
6:05 pm
then to sit down face to face with president putin. he told a news conference that relations with russia were at a low point right now. and that would only change depending on how president putin reacts at that meeting. and i think the final theme that's come out of this g 7 is the other one you'd have expected, which is the biggest problem facing the planet. and that's climate change. and a very different approach from president biden that you've seen from president trump because he takes this problem very seriously, says is the existential problem facing humanity. whereas of course, when the g 7 was meeting with president trump in the u. s. seat, they have to have a communicate where they agreed to disagree on the subjects of climate change. this isn't or was never going to be a meeting that was going to the site. anything really concrete on climate change, but it is on it's one of the meetings which are steps to a big, big summit, the biggest since the paris summit in 2015 taking place again in the u. k. in
6:06 pm
glasgow in november. i thank you for that. the promote editor james things or renounce had won, is deputy director and senior executive officer of chatham house. she joined us from london on scott, thank you for your time. in your opinion, one of the biggest things to come out of this summit, the biggest concrete things that you think might actually make a lasting difference. thanks. i'm good to be with you. what i think there's 3 things and it's a bit like an english summer's day funny, but with some clouds coming out of this g 7 summit in cornwall. i think the 1st was the sheer presence of president biden in europe, along with his allies, that commitment, that sense that there's a new tone. there's new leadership we saw, posit him, and take empathetic leader. we saw the us behind quite a few initiatives in the g 7 summit,
6:07 pm
the global tax minimum corporate tax rate initiative. the push for a development financing initiative. very much coming from the us. and the 3rd we saw this push for rallying democracies and rallying partners around, perhaps the threats that china presents some cooperation in that area, some referencing in that area. so to some extent, the biggest champion, the biggest triumph i think out of this g 7 was indeed the sign that america is back on the commitment that the g 7 had declared to make 2021. that turning point for multi lateralism there. i think the scope of the ambition was wide, but the actual practical commitments are relatively more limited. you report to refer to them, but i would just flag a couple. first on climate wraps, the biggest commitment of the new is commitment was a coal to end direct government support for coal fired power stations unless they
6:08 pm
can have the technology to capture carbon emissions. this was new, this is important and this is a commitment that was also important in light of some of the guests that were there, australia, india, or japan, japan as a member, but also the south africa, heavily coal dependent industry. on the climate. this was noted really trying to drive momentous towards cop 26 in november where the u. k. will also check, but we didn't see significate new commitment to financing on climate and some significant questions remain as to how the g 7 will support developing countries get the money they need to make these transformations to their economies and health . lots of focus on the future. lots of focus on making a better response to pandemic in the future. and to strengthening the w. h. o world health organization. what the commitment of 1000000000 doses falls far short of what the w h o head tedra noted, needing of 11000000000 vaccines,
6:09 pm
but also is far under the 2500000000 excess vaccine doses that the g 7 is estimated by campaigners to have some serious question barren question will be, can that be revisited over the course of the year? and i want to say, i just want to pick up on that. that's not even to mention one of the big criticisms which has been why not all just agree to waive a patience in order to give countries, you know, the impetus, the ability to, to find their own way out of the pandemic as opposed to rely on what some people see is sort of charity, but i want to move on to ask you how realistic do you think the this massive ins, infrastructure project has been proposed, which is meant to rival chinese belton road initiative. i mean, how realistic is that coming so long after the belton road was 1st and else? i think it represents a desire to create an alternative financing option for countries in the developing
6:10 pm
world, so that they have more options to choose from. but, you know, there's no money with it. there's very little details around it. i think there's quite a lot of detail across to both to do when it's supposed to be a partnership of equals and non exploitative and the view of the united states, the proposal. but the call that the communicate has is that the going to create a task force and come back in the fall with some concrete proposals. and there i think we would have to see the devil in the details. the question is, will it just be an umbrella bringing together quite a lot about their initiative, what it represents from new financing component. and so far we have seen much side of that. i'll also just note lots of cold for debt relief initiatives for developing countries. but again, lacking the sort of targeted commitments but makes the g 7, it's successful and it's more successful component when it can put money behind specific initiatives. as you said, president biden wanted to show, you know, the u. s. is back to reassure his allies,
6:11 pm
but is it enough for him to just not be donald trump? i think he's came to be more than not chose donald trump. couple of things to watch for. first, the emphasis in the communicate on working through multi last with organizations, the corporate tax initiative, for example, to be successful. minimum global corporate tax would have to be agreed by the g 20 . and that is explicitly notion in the communique, little bit more modesty, a little more humility in the communique, also about the importance of working at home to strengthen democracy. and i think some real commitments to car about deals going forward, particularly the tech sector and digital services that you'll see when the fight and meets with your opinion. so a long way to go. we still have steel and alimony and towers between europe and the u. s, we still have quite a bit of differences in visions on in china, but i think there is a sense of an administration with an agenda and with policy ideas. all right. hey,
6:12 pm
thank you so much for joining us. here on the news all. renata dawn, dawn, thank you. thank you, our head on the news all including the i'm 200 children on the bank of the modem or did they buy one of the longest river in bangladesh where hundreds and thousands of farmers lives have been effected due to the increase in salt water and good to the organizers of the euros after they allow denmark's match to go on despite one of their play as collapsing on the pitch. ah, israel, following his holding a vote on a new government that is likely to see the end of prime minister benjamin netanyahu, the 12 year long stint and office there was chaos inside the connect. this is netanyahu support, his interrupted proceedings. the family bennet's the far right be to set to replace that in yahoo! with heckled as he delivered a speech, some in peace had to be escorted out of the chamber as they accused bennett of
6:13 pm
betrayal. but the former netanyahu, i has promised to represent all of israel, till you will deal with the government for work to encourage immigration of juice or israel. we will send them the bond between us and use elsewhere and fight to stomach them. we will keep this relevant state of the jewish people at a democratic state, even work for every one i say to the orthodox public, while your party chose not to go into collision, it does not mean your what is not represented. i will represent you. 8 idea logically diverse parties make up than you coalition. for the 1st time and decades, the palestinian israeli party will be part to all the government. for now it's almost the end of the 10 year of the countries long, the serving leader. but netanyahu is allen to bring the crude party back to power. well, harris, 4th, it is line for us now in west jerusalem. harry, what's happening now in the connected? there is a done deal. it's not a done deal yet. it's getting increasingly so right now represents the reach of the
6:14 pm
parties in these ready parliament that connects. it has 9 minutes each to make the case about what comes next about how they feel about the current situation given the level of interruption that's been going on. this is all taking a pretty long time. i mean, if anybody expect this to be a gracious or graceful transitions of power, i don't think many people expected that, but the level to which it descended at one point was pretty extraordinary. the inability of natalie bennett the incoming prime minister to get even a few words together out before you would be interested again and more people being ejected from the whole. what came from that yahoo after natalie bennett, was what we've come to expect, which sort of a list of his achievements the security achievements as he puts been israel, the economic achievements that he credits himself and his government with. he also settled some schools with former and current political rivals on the other side,
6:15 pm
but it was very notable that he really set himself up now as the leader of a strong right wing opposition. that's how he wants to be seen now. and he said that if it was fated for his party to go into opposition in his, his allies, they would do so with that backs straight. and he set some pretty big land mines in the way for the, the bennet government talking very explicitly, for instance, about iran. saying that any return to the jcp o a, the iran nuclear deal would be against the interests of israel. he explicitly set out the differences between his government and not have jo biden's making it much more difficult for any kind of compromise or working with the u. s. administration to bennett. so that seems to be the strategy going forward. he's going to make it as difficult as possible. he says it's not over. he says he will bring his party back to power. as soon as bennett, he talked about the necessity to be a practical managerial government, all israelis. he said that the volume of the interruptions and the shouting was
6:16 pm
pretty much equal to the incapacity of his government to have done a thing in recent years. and he said that he would build on the neos achievements, cover disconnected alone in the not of the government of israel will have to expand agreements with countries and deepened the length with people of them. at least i want to thank you and i did state president for standing with israel. harry, what are the actual expectations i guess at the coalition and coming assuming it happens will will last a full come well yeah, it's very difficult to assess at the moment the idea of a full year term for a government that stretches from a palestinian israeli policy for the 1st time, the far right of israeli politics, that's not the 3rd the strike, but certainly the hard right. and the far left. but now they have a common project both to get rid of that and to get some of their own sort of
6:17 pm
agendas through, especially in the, in the case of the palestinian israeli party of months or about they want practical things done as a result of that co operation when you talk to some of the supporters that he probably hear them in the background, simply opponents of nothing. yahoo and supporters of this idea of a change government, they do have optimism that things will continue. and that net is over. as an israeli prime minister, of course, he has come back from a position once before a lot is writing on it for him both personally as well as politically and indeed financially because of his massive cost of his corruption case and the, the jeopardy he's in legally for him to get back into power. so there is a strategy i think, to try and make it as difficult as possible from the off for this new government. try to prevent and pasting a new budget, which is one of the key things that they have to do to show that they do have the capacity to run the country. that israel won't fall apart. as you know,
6:18 pm
it was promising it will under their administration. if they're able to get some traction able to get a few miles under the belt, then it becomes more difficult for me to argue the opposite and to get back into power. so a lot really does depend on the coming weeks and early months of this new government . all right, we'll be checking back in with you for now. here for to thank you. well, you'll see mecklenburg is a senior consulting research fellow at chatham house. he joins us from london on skype. thank you for your time. how tenuous is this new coalition government or incoming coalition government? it's a fun but to selection no. so election, when the last of them is entered into a biggest when they could actually have more than one call turn off of this and you, formation of government would have been there. and especially with the issue of
6:19 pm
collection. these is a possibility serious issue. i mean, the stuff in office was facing such as lead cases of collection did the same time has been 15 years in 20 consecutive since 2009 and now a new generation. and we just say the new, this is more than 20 years younger than him. so this, this, this is a new, a new generation coming forward. now the question if they can actually stay for did you ation? and this is a big question, it's ability for government coalition that we left. so we like to manage the coalition. sometimes this managed to come, what's your estimate, what's your take? do you think that they will be able to last a full time in politics? politics, so i think it will be in nothing short of this, or if it is governments,
6:20 pm
we'll see today's 444. i think you will see even what happens today. they've already feel this charlton member message from the coalition decide to go. so no, not to be to vote in favor of the coalition, but the policy because they didn't get the position of the ministers, the think they deserve someone already there fall for all the new minister. p. s you left the balance. he's not going to suck. ok, so this is a very, very job situation, and i would be surprised if you last more than a year or 2, as we heard from correspondent earlier netanyahu is essentially vowed to be obstructionist in opposition. how difficult will that make it for this you governing coalition to get anything done? and also how do you think that is likely to be received by the public given all of
6:21 pm
the political instability, you know, is there a sense to people just want to get things done? now i think 2 thinks against this government one, the compositional faith were such as i do not confuse this is one thing, but also the same time. what is the very best you might think of many, many opinions, an idea. it's a very mental correlation with a majority, it's one, it's best. so to push any policies with any meaning, it would be very difficult and you having a position that has nothing else. and you said it's actually in english, i will be back. and he tends to be back in the, tends to be back. of course, you said, you know, and what's my definition because might be a very different new my next year position, senior court and some, some hybrids within the policy might say you have the full election, follow me government. that's also new generation coming from the court. but for the
6:22 pm
time being on the major issues whether they learn all. busy of the economy, you all the ration with the policy, the position will kind of start the new government and doing much and it would be very difficult for the government to find its way and manage to do some system. all right, thank you very much. your analysis, you'll see michael, the consulting research fellow at chatham house. so how is washington reacting to all of the developments in israel? mike, hannah joins us now from the us capital. the mike, obviously the u. s. israel very close allies. what we heard if anything, out of the u. s. so far about this incoming change of leadership. well, on an official basis, absolutely nothing. the line from the white house from state department is that it will not comment on domestic processes in other countries. that being said,
6:23 pm
there's no doubt that there's a sigh of relief in the white house in particular with the changing government in israel now. and the way, the reason for this is because the by an administration has made very clear that it needs another type of government and israel to serve us national interests. now, it must be important to point out how different this administration is from the previous one. the trump administration was rooted in a policy with regard to israel, of self interest and, and narrow political base. the n jelly calls in the us to form a massive part of tramps support and who are very pro israel, but the bite and administration basis of policy is something else that's a much wider element. and that is, it's a primary policy. intention in the region is to resolve the issue with iran, now that netanyahu government was a massive obstruction to this netanyahu, an absolute opponent of any form of dialogue with iran. this new government,
6:24 pm
we have to see which way it goes, a very strange mix there. but as far as the by that and ministration is concerned with serving its own interests and us interests in the region, there is no doubt that any government, regardless of what it is, would be better than one headed by benjamin netanyahu. all right, thank you so much for that update there. mike henner in washington, dc. mm. with the olympics to, to take place next month. there are still concerns over whether it's the right time to hold major sporting events with some nation, still struggling with coven. 192 major football tournaments are taking place. the euro 20 to 20 and the copa are conner in brazil. sunday is seeing 2 major football matches both in countries that are still seeing alarming trends of cove at 19 infections. as i said,
6:25 pm
england and brazil will crowds were back in london's wembley stadium for england's you're a 2020 campaign with a match against croatia. about 23000 fence red attendance and all had shown negative cove in 1900 test. to guess it is the largest crowd in the stadium to install the pandemic, which is lead to tight restrictions on public gatherings in the one the match. one nil and brazil government is getting pushed back for agreeing to host the corporate america football tournament. and it depend demik, opponent fair, it could worse in the countries already. dollar, coven, 19 health crisis. brazil is the 2nd hardest hit country in the world with more than 480000 death. now we'll have more on the corporate america in brazil with monica, you know, care who is standing by for us and we're diginero. but 1st let's go to pull brandon, who's at wembley stadium. so paul, you know, obviously people have to have a negative test. are they to be able to get in, but you can have a negative test one day,
6:26 pm
a positive test test the next. what are the protocols are in place there? yeah, i mean, i'm gonna think, well, the events research program, which we've been running in your case since april and it's a government program which is exploring ways of opening up big events such as this, including things like nightclubs and stuff, particularly with a view to the fact that england is one of our house nations the european championship. this is day 3 of the championships. england just finished. that 1st game of the match tournament. as you said, they will milligan's croatia. the crowd is filtering away from the stadium over my shoulder. striking is the fact that despite the fact that all of these people have happened, tested negative in the last 48 hours, many people are still wearing their muffed. so you can see the habits is form over the past 14 months of months where people are a little bit nervous about getting into big crowds, despite the negative tests that they will have have to provide in order to be
6:27 pm
allowed into that stadium. the other protocol, for example, all you have to over 11 years old. another way of getting in would have been to have your vaccinations completed your vaccinations. there is a big hurdle by overseas arriving. for example, the ratio is still on the list. so any question from coming from to attend matches in this torment will have to self isolate quarantine at home for 10 days or other tricks, the test to release and get up to 5 days if it's just negative. so you can see the layer upon layer in the hope of making sure that you go ahead in sufficient numbers, attending the, at the stadiums. but at the same time, maintaining some degree of a high level of our security. still a little jarring because the so many people in one place i for now. thank you very much for that pull. brennan. let's go to monica. you know, i have who joined my from rio de janeiro with more bear. so the decision to host this tournament in brazil has been very controversial,
6:28 pm
hasn't yes it has. this is a cup that has been going on for 100 years. it was decided at the 11th hour, 10 days to get organized in a country. that is at this moment, holding parliamentary inquiry into the government handling of the pandemic. brazil should have should reach the milestone of half a 1000000 dead by coven 19 either during the 4 week turn, a mentor shortly after every day in the inquiry and congress, the people are discussing about why the government downplayed the virus. the president himself doesn't. where mass has holds rallies, has crowds said that mass are necessary, says that social distance thing isn't necessary. so this is the backdrop for this sports event, which was host is being hosted in brazil after columbia. and argentina withdrew as
6:29 pm
co host colombia because it was facing protest argentina because it was facing a rise of infections. so it has been very political. it ended up being discussed in congress. the supreme court had to authorize it. and still you have doctors and scientists saying that it's not a good idea at all as well. 8 as the brazilian team and it's head coach also said that they were against holding the cup and brazil. all right, thank you very much for that, monica, aka. they're in rio de janeiro. so to come here on al jazeera, we'll have more on that crucial confident voting israel, which could end benjamin netanyahu. 12 years on premier ship zealand. cricket is feel a rare ferries victory, and england will have to be held to ah
6:30 pm
hello there, the weather is last he set for as usual across the middle east. but we have got a few showers just popping off across northern parts of our mon, some lively down. pause here, some sundry showers at that as well. it has caused some localized flooding. the stiff shamal wind will continue to blow out over iraq, down across q 8, that east the side of saudi arabia. so lifted dust and sand on the cards here. ready for the next few days. i'm more than very hot sunshine, but as you can see, lots of hazy sunshine, not too much. wet weather in the forecasts might catch a shower or 2 up towards the black sea, central western passive turkey fat aside. it does look dry, hot and sunny dry on sunday to cross the horn of africa. we have got one or 2 showers just coming in across the highlands, not too much to speak of. she.
