way that you tell the story is what can make a difference. ah, this is al jazeera. ah, i can't 100 our g m t here on algebra. hello, i'm come all santa maria. welcome to the news our presenting a united front nato leaders of toughness down from china and russia. and even promised to tackle climate change for the 1st time. also in the new u. k prime minister bars johnson delays evening corona virus restrictions in england. by another month we can give the an h. s a few more crucial weeks to get those remaining jobs into the arms of those who need also the new face of israeli

politics. not cindy bennett. lead the coalition of 8 parties, which is already confronting its 1st head. and china is this is reports of a radiation leak of one of its nuclear power plants. but from a warning of an imminent threat on devin actually bought a danish for christian ericsson is in good spirit. but what's also from doctors offices suffering, cardiac arrest and scotland get a reality check on that were sent to a major mentor for the 1st time in 23 years? ah, well we have the g 7 now we've had the 1st nature leaders, some as attended by us president joe biden and members have presented the united front on china for the 1st time. and we said paging is posing quote, systemic challenges. lots of things for these leaders to discuss other issues, including just how to improve the alliance generally,

and how to ease tensions amongst its members. but also russia that remains a huge security issue. our relationship with russia is at its lowest point since the cold war. and moscow's aggressive actions are affected to our security. nato remains committed to our dual truck approach of defense and dialogue will keep over the fences strong while remaining ready to talk. there's also been a meeting between joe biden and the turkish president. reject type erred one separate meeting on monday, their 1st face to face talk. in fact, since the was present took office at a time when these nato allies relationship has been particularly strange. and interestingly, for the 1st time, nato has decided what's great on an action plan to help mitigate the effects of climate change. let's bring all this together with. kimberly. how could i white house correspondent who is travelling with the president on the strip?

hi, kimberly take us through what's well the way i put it before the job binding was wanting china front and center and he got that. but there's a whole lot of other stuff out there. there's so much that is being discussed, but a big part of what the us president is talking to the allies about is kind of a reassuring that is taking place after 4 years of donald trump. america 1st and really a lot of criticism of the security alliance, nato. so there's a reassuring that's going on and at the same time, also letting them know where the u. s. president stands with respect to security. in fact, the us president expected to in his the course of his meetings discuss but he believes that there was really the foundation of. 1 us security worldwide, he sees article 5 as it's known, the attack on one member is an attack on all is being as sacred guaranteed. that is

the message the u. s. president is delivering, and it's sort of with that underpinnings so many of these issues are being discussed, including the sort of added dimension of cyber attacks and the us president believing that when it comes to this intelligence sharing that is needed, that this is really the perfect intersection, and that nato is the perfect place and body for dealing with so many of these threats that really have no boundaries. so this is something that the us president is talking about, but you're right, it's, it's russia, it's china. these are the big looming issues with respect to china. it's very clear that the members kind of share the concerns that there is this increasing aggressiveness, assertiveness on the part of china. and they're going to take them uniting together to confront very tough competition. here's what the secretary general had to say, take a listen. we are concerned by china school worship follows is which respond in contrast to developmental values enshrined in the washington treaty. shinine is rapidly

expanding its nuclear arsenal, with more warheads and a large number of sophisticated, sophisticated delivery systems. it is opaque in implementing its minutes or more than is ation. it is cooperating militarily with russia, including through exercises in the you to your advantage era. we all sort remain concerned about trying those use of this information. kimberly a lot of talk and focus now goes on president biden's meeting with florida me a person in geneva. but before that he's, he's already show honda and another sort of controversial chat with another leader . yeah, with the turkish liter. reza, tie of air to why that bilateral meeting, wrapping up. and it was expected to be a very 10th one that we've not had any sort of read out in terms of what that

meeting accomplished or did not accomplish. but we know that it was tense, going in. and given the fact that there had been strained relations between the united states and turkey, under the former president, donald trump and joe biden didn't approve that any impact on the campaign trail. he called the president air to one an autocrat. he also gave him the diplomatic cold shoulder not calling him until 3 months into his presidency. and only then was it to say that the $915.00 armenian genocide was in their view genocide, something that the turkish leader did not want. so very strained relations and really working to try and re establish trust as well as repair ally is that the us says is critical in terms of the us security. they see strategic value in it. they want to preserve that relationship. so we're watching very carefully from the us president. he's expected to hold a press conference shortly, and we'll hear more about that meeting when he does president on speaking now, biden to come, which means we'll be talking to you again later. kimberly hawkins in brussels. just

another note on the russian president who has told us tv network, he is open to a possible prison swap with the united states. as i mentioned, he'll meet joe biden in geneva on wednesday. there are 2 former us marines current imprisoned in russia. one of them serving 16 years for espionage, the highest profile russian prisoner in the us as victor boots, an armed trafficker, who once supplied arms to war torn countries. now, in an interview with al jazeera, the egyptian foreign minister, some show cri, as hinted, cairo is opening to repairing its strange tides. with turkey, the 2 sides fell out following the gyptian armies toppling of a democratically elected president. mohammed morsey back in 2013 the hardware. statements from the turkish side showed interest in developing the relationship and placing it in the right context, which led us to hold sessions of exploratory consultations during which we

expressed our desire to reestablish normal relations on the firm basis. expected in such relations, namely, mutual respect, not to interfere in each other's internal affairs and to work towards establishing common interest that he was on to other news in the u. k. government is pushing back its plan to ease restrictions in england by another month. the final stage of lockdown was due to be lifted next week, but a rise in cases linked to the fast spreading delta variant has prompted the government to delay a full reopening. we can give the an h. s a few more crucial weeks to get those remaining jobs into the arms of those who need them. and since today i cannot say that we have met all our 4 tests for proceeding with step 4 on june the 21st. i think it is sensible to wait. just

a little longer poll brandon reporting on this story, should i from kingston in the u. k. somewhere where there has been a rise in cases and that's a perfect example. i guess of what barth johnson is talking about. the numbers have risen in certain areas in certain variance and they can't be ignored. exactly. i mean we kingston, we chose the location today because this is one of more than 20 areas where intensive surge testing is taking place. this is where the local authority invites people next door to door, in some cases in order to actually test people on the doorstep to try to identify where the virus is lingering and then be able to isolate it. and the statistics that the prime minister was confronted with by his scientific advisors in the past couple of days meant it was frankly inevitable that there was going to be a postponement of the june 21st original for have been dubbed here. it's freedom day. statistics for stock,

although hospital admissions had been going up around 15 percent of in the north of england, pockets of the north hospital admissions are going up by 61 percent from target. and they've been 64 percent. we can weak increase in the number of infections and what the scientific advisors were saying was that if you continue down this path of unlocking as planned by july, june, the 21st, you will have a peak of hospitalizations which will match the number of people who have put in the hospital by covered in the 1st wave last year. and clearly that was not the situation that the prime minister could contemplate. and so freedom de, quote, unquote becomes july the 19th. and in the interim, there are some sort of carrots along the way, things to show you that we are with the u. k is still moving towards that. i think tell us about this. yeah, one of the things that the prime minister announced is that there's going to be a rapid acceleration in the vaccination program. they're going to bring forward for

sample the interval between vaccinations. they're going to make sure that everybody over 40 has both jobs. by the time june, sorry, july 19th, date comes around and everybody over 18 will have been off at least one jap. now, science has discrepancies and debates about the effectiveness of the job against the new delta variance. that said, the one job did some protection to jobs, of course, better route, 83 percent protection from 2 jobs. but accelerating the vaccine program. clearly very important to get on top of this. and the other thing is an olive branch if you like to brides and grooms who have been planning and perhaps the counsel multiple weddings. last year as the the britain came in and now says locked downs. there's been a cat for 30 people, the maximum offending weddings that has now been relaxed. so that's been relaxing. they will, they won't wait until july 19th. so people can go ahead with their weddings,

perhaps as they planned. pullman and reporting from kingston in the u. k. thank you paul. the world health organization says the number of new curren of ours case as worldwide has fallen for 7th week in a row. that is the longest period of declining infection since the pandemic began. but officials won the buyers is still moving faster than the global vaccine rollouts. the w h o cheeks is an equal access to an occupations as was threatening the progress he is. welcome, the g 7 pledge to deny more than 800000000 doses but says 1x1b1x1b and needed some good news in the you. the residents can start making some some holiday plans because the block is formally approved. a new digital travel pass comes into effect from july. the 1st pass that will prove the hold has been vaccinated, has tested negative, or has recovered from coven 19. the law travelers to move between e, you states quickly and with no requirement to self isolates. but malaysia

government has extended its 2 week nationwide locked down, shutting all non essential businesses. the fight, the 3rd in cases off cove at 19 medical experts though say a more targeted approach is what's really needed. florence louis has report from qual, lumper every day at lunch time, katara soup kitchen in downtown quality pool, hands out food packs to those in need. the nationwide lockdown has shut all non essential businesses until the end of the month, creating hardship for some. there's a sharp rise in terms of people in their forties or fifties coming in for food. and both of them actually have a job beforehand and it is because of this kind of make yourself the business for years. so 1st off, now the government has extended a 2 week lockdown for further fortnight fighting the high number of new cove at 19

infections. health care facilities here are over stretched. private hospitals have been asked to increase the number of beds for cove at 900 patient and the armed forces. rowe built 6 more field hospitals. in addition to the 3 set up earlier, malaysia cove at 19 positivity rate of around 7 percent is higher than the w h o 's threshold of 5 percent. furthermore, more than 80 percent of reported infections don't belong to an identified cluster, indicating the infections, asbell radek. or unlike public health policy specialist say, this data indicates a lockdown will not be enough to reverse the trend of rising infections. look for the cases, instead of expecting the cases come to you find test trace. isolate then support. when you do what testing go, it will mean that the positive figures will go much higher than what we see today. but it will also mean that more people can be treated earlier and saved lives. the

government has accelerated its vaccination program including rolling out mobile units in areas where residents may have difficulty getting to vaccination centers. just to 4 percent of the population has been fully inoculated. so far, the government aims to reach heard immunity by december. the slow delivery of vaccine supplies and delays by manufacturers may hinder this gold. florence louis al jazeera calling for 15 minutes past the new thought. here's what's coming up on sunday. so she goes on trial 4 months after being deposed by me and mother military . we also visit a one striving town on the border between nigeria and been name where business just not been the same. roger federer returned to action after pulling out of the friendship in mid to tournament more on that with jemma enforce. ah,

well, israel's new government is getting on to work a day after parliament approved to new coalition by the narrowest of margins. prime minister naturally bennett has presented his cabinet and sat down for a formal photo up with the president. he had the night party coalition, which has ended benjamin netanyahu 12 year run as prime minister netanyahu. well, he's already dismissed. the new government is fraudulent or false that has more from western he certainly didn't go quietly on sunday. he's maintained that post here in that volume. during the course of monday, his 1st full day as opposition leader, he convened the various members of his right wing block, his new opposition coalition, inside the israeli parliament, the connecticut called for undisciplined from them that they should meet every monday. at this time with one aim, which was to get rid of this new government, one that he called a fraudulent government as soon as possible. so that is the very large obstacle,

one of many that it will have to confront as it tries to hold itself together and govern this country. israel's new government is signed and sealed, but can the so called change block deliver on its promises of stability and sanity, of change from the dysfunction of the last 2 years. in the 1st instance, that task force primarily to the new prime minister, natalie bennett. this was him last week, appealing to his predecessor benjamin netanyahu. the son heard them denial, and she let go at the country. move on. people are allowed to ward for the establishment of a government. even if it is not you who is heading it, a government that is 10 degrees to the right of the current one, by the way, music to the ears of bennett, loyalists like jeremy salton. but how can such promises fit a coalition that extends from hard right to far left? we can't go to a 5th election. we can't go ahead and continue the situation where we're not making any decisions in this country. and you know what, there are plenty of things that all of the parties do agree upon. if we can stick

to that and only do with that, and i'm very cautiously optimistic that we're going to be able to do that. i think this might go down is actually one of the longest governments in israel's history. that would mean not dealing with the issue of the palestinians or continued settlement expansion in the occupied west bank. bennett is an avowed opponent of a palestinian state and a former leader of the main settler. yes. counsel. the current occupant of that row says he's been given guarantees that settlement building will continue on israel palestine. expectations alone that the self styled managerial government will do anything beyond managing the status quo. and that means continued occupation continued, settlement construction, continued diminished prospects of a 2 state solution. the coalition says it's focused will be on the domestic israeli agenda. but that does include a landmark movement for his ready politics evidenced by the presence of months or a bus in this now famous photo of the coalition deal being done in return of

facilitating this government, a buses, united arab list. once funding for neglected palestinian is ready, towns, policies to end the gun crime that is so afflicted. an amnesty on thousands of homes built without permits this or that you for now centrist? yeah, show t lead a guy. lockheed will be foreign minister taking over the top job from bennett in 2023. if the government last at long, the success of forming this coalition is in his name. and while many people think that the government won't last its full term of 4 years, as you said, if it, if it doesn't, he goes away. having got rid of netanyahu, the primary goal having created a new government. but nothing yahoo remains the very active head of a strong right wing opposition that will try every trick to bring down this new government for natalie bennett attack last week by netanyahu's ultra orthodox eyes as wicked, evil, and a danger to the state. job one is to prove that israel can indeed manage without

the man who for so long sold himself as its essential leader. hurry for said algeria, west jerusalem. now, yay le. pete has officially started his role as israel's new foreign minister. in theory. he will be the prime minister in a couple of years time. he says though he will be working to improve relations with the us with the european union. the gulf and other are states now loot, movies like the mccarthy de management of the relationship with the democratic party in the united states was shameful and dangerous. i want against it before, but the outgoing government took a terrible gamble to focus on the republican party and abandon israel's bipartisan standing. as you know, we find ourselves with a democratic whitehouse, senate and house, and those democrats are angry, but we need to change the way we work with him. last night i spoke with secretary of state anthony blinking. we both believe that it is possible and imperative to build relations based on mutual respect and better dialogue when i look. so let's

talk more about this with daniel levy as president of the us middle east project. he's on scott from london today. i think that's really quite interesting here and your, your pete daniel is his, his language, his tone, the way that he is acknowledging that what's presidents, i'm sorry, prime minister netanyahu did during president trump's time, and office was actually probably damaging in the long run. well this is the position of a lockheed that israel should be a bipartisan consensus in america and nothing yahoo pulled israel into parties and poto. right. american politics. i think that makes sense from in israeli perspective the what not. and yahoo did was counter productive what he does not say . and it's important to acknowledge this as well. is that israel treatment of the palestinians, violations of international law, illegal practices. those are

a problem and that's what's causing some americans to say we have to revisit the nature of this relationships. he is saying i can do much better with the democrat party than the other guy. and i think we have to understand that that the comment he's making rather than a commitment to a change of policy, it's a change of tone, not in yahoo's tone, and he's personal approach with controversial. but unfortunately, he policy have a broad consensus, some in the current new government disagree with some of those policy, but they are broadly popular in israel and in the parliament. and even in this coalition. right, really interesting, important distinction to make the thank you for that. also i wonder about jayla p as the foreign minister. as i said, he in theory, if this government last that long will become the prime minister. some such, i often feel that foreign ministers in israel don't they, not that you don't see them that much you, you hear most of the stuff coming through the prime minister. so as far as foreign

policy goes, does it actually matter more what we hear from natalie? bennet well, i think that's a phenomenon in other places in the world as well. and of course not on yahoo, if we're talking about israel specifically, has been very over bearing domineering figure. so i think that will be balanced out a little. but you know, this is a policy for that piece to make on his own. on the more of the attention should be paid to the prime minister to bennett. and again, i think lockheed will do a good job of putting a positive face on the israel's policy. many in the us administration want to turn a leaf. they don't want this problem from the progressive, the bases of demanding change in the relationship. many in europe will be happy to see this more positive face on israel, but the problems of the actual policy, the occupation of god, the being on the blockade. all the denial of basic palestinian rights and freedom.

those problems don't go away because you have a better spokes person to spin on it and tell me about other foreign policy and relations. i guess i mentioned the european union as well. what sort of relationship has israel had with european countries and how could it, how could it change, potentially under this new government? well, what, what israel did and did is to great effect, was it bill to cohort of allies who would hold the line inside europe. because of course, europe, you need unanimous consent to act in foreign policy. so whether it was countries that were ideologically aligned to nothing yahoo like big or bunch hungry or poland or in many respects, austria, all those who have close related relations for other reasons, such as the energy relationship increase in cyprus. israel had its players in europe who would do its bidding, the area that i think come all might be most interesting to look at is iran, is this potential return to a nuclear deal with iran. and then i think there will be divisions inside the

government between those who think it's more important to try to work with the americans on the deal. and those who would say, we've got a stand up to these even if it causes problems in the relation with america. and that was the specific challenge that not in yahoo lay down to this new government daniel levy from the u. s. middle east project. and it's been great to talk to you, so thank you for your time. thank you. still had you on this news are a skin problem for sharks. rising, the temperatures could be to blake well, so a down to fill crop will look at what help south africa to boost get coffee, growing industry. and in sports, we will hear from, you know, my see adults and senior prepare for their opening match up a copper. i'm adding a hello

. there are lots of hot syndrome weather as usual across the middle east. some areas of cloud and rain. have you said that was a little bit of fat just around turkey, just around the black sea, eating over towards the caucasus and some wet weather. just letting out of i've got this done and all the parts of pakistan, snow, they're over the high ground saturday. it is about that $849.00 celsius in baghdad . well into the mid 40 for q 8, and for dough home, the shamal continuing to blow some more lifted dust and sand coming out tilbury crew. wait, said he, since out of saudi arabia, across here. and carter, hot and dry down towards the southern end of the peninsula as well. and that dry weather stretches across the horn of africa. we have got a few showers just around the opium highlands and one or 2 showers, that just across parts of the democratic republic of congo, easing over towards the gulf. again, that's where the majority of the west weather will be over the coming days. northern parts of nigeria office seeing some heavy rain from time to time. they're

not too much right in the full cost across southern parts of africa. but we have got some showers, longest spells of right across the western cape and across the southern cave. and we'll continue to just drift in here as we go on through wednesday and day thursday, just wanted to share was for central mozambique the in the next episode of science in a golden age, i'll be exploring the contributions made by scholars during the medieval atlantic period in the field of engineering, the height of sophistication in mechanics at the time was the extravagant elephant clock written around $85080.00. the book contains a range of ingenious inventions and contractions, science and a golden age. with jim alkalinity on al jazeera, most people will never know what's beyond these. the deafening silence of

100000 and how it feels to touch danger every day. most people will never know what it's like to work with. every breath is precious. with fear, it's not an option, but we're not most people. oh, a on the news here also. and these are the top stories. nato leaders have been meeting at the 1st nature some attended by you as president your binding. first on

the lions has said that china is posing quite systemic challenges. also native chief relations with russia, the lowest points of the cultural me, israel's new government, getting out to work a day after parliament approved a new coalition by the narrowest mountain. prime minister natalie bennett has presented cabinets to the president and u. k. prime minister by johnson, it's delayed evening. england's current virus restrictions for another month, for the extra time, is needed to prevent thousands of avoidable debt to speed up the vaccination campaign. let's pretend to our top story, the nato summit in brussels. and since he took office years, president joe biden has struck a very different tone to his predecessor in many ways. but particularly when it comes to the importance of the military lines or diplomatic at the james base, looks at how nato might change under his leadership and the challenges basis. for the 1st time, for over 4 years, nato's most powerful member. as

a leader who is firmly convinced that the value of the alliance we do not view nato as a sort of a protection record. we believe that nato is vital to our ability to maintain american security for the next, the next remainder of the century. when nato is founded in 1949, he had a clear mission waging what we came known as the cold war and making sure it didn't become a hot one locally. after the fall of the berlin wall, nato troops were deployed to try and hold the peace in the balkans. and then in 2003, they radically changed their mission and sent troops to afghanistan in nato's founding treaty. the king clause is article 5, which says.
