the one on one of these funding, those who refused to be silent. now says 0 me in the us threatens more sanctions for all involved in ethiopia is conflict if they don't negotiate and end to the violence ah, other than i'm a 3 and again this is i'll just hear a life and also coming out we just doing what we need to do to keep a straight insights and protect the national interest straight as prime minister dismissal china as outrage response to a new security alliance with the u. s. u. k. original security block that by china . russia versus pushes from kennasoft. the leaders follow what

a cause. a moderate part of the u. s. moves closer to offering cobra. 900 booster vaccinations despite the w. h o warning that it's necessary and irresponsible. ah, the united states is directing war sanctions against the warring sides of the p. o p with the goal of ending the fighting. a new executive order opens the door to sanction members of the opinion and eritrea and governments. the to gripe people's liberation front and the hot regional government the by the administration is trying to pressure them into negotiations. the war which started in northern te gray at region last november has killed thousands of people and left almost 1000000 in famine like conditions. i'll just hear a show hyper tansy. washington says that the bible administration is keen to show that it doesn't just blame the ethiopian government it's. it's

a theme that we've seen from the white house and from congress in the last few months as the crisis intensifies in that range. and that the bike administration, particularly trying to be seen as being, having an even hound and blaming all sides, even whereas the sort of liberal interventionists and the governments amount of power usa id for example, have been pushing and have been warning off of ethiopian atrocities. but the bite administration has been, has been talking about all sides in the context of the congressional hearing just a few months ago actually way where you could see that being played out. i mean, even this executive order, it's a lot less than meets the eye and the reasons are fascinating. i'll get get over there in a 2nd. but this, yeah, as you said, it threaten sanctions. it empowers the treasury and the state department to impose sanctions, but it doesn't do sorry, it doesn't name any one and it, and it, and it has a long list of actions that the u. s. wants to see it. once it cools in, all parties rental facilities to allow for, to play, facilitate unimpeded humanitarian access. accountability for human rights abuses,

inclusive dialogue, the, to preserve the unity of the state, but no action yet. and that's been a big disappointment of a liberal intervention, especially in the democratic party. or if you are a p as prime minister i'll be, am as has written, an open letter presented by them in response to the threatened sanctions. part of it reads. unfortunately, while the entire world is turned its eyes onto a few, appear on the government for all the wrong reasons, it's failed to openly and sternly reprimand the terrorist group in the same manner . it's been chastising my government. china has accused the u. s. industrial area of colluding to smith, it's reputation. in the latest fall out of the 2 countries joined britain and a new alliance. many see that the security agreement as part of ethics by the west to contain china's growing influence in the region, particularly of a contested maritime claims. 9, i wasn't sure on the south china sea, taiwan and hong kong china position is clear to us most really are colluding with

each other and for selfish geopolitical gains or smearing china. there, interfering and chinese domestic affairs. as facts of proven china, not only a major engine for economic development in the region is also for stability and peace. china development represents a force for peace in the world and the regions development also here is katrina you in beijing in beijing says the china feels the alliance will cause irreversible damage. all relations between beijing and camera are in very bad shape. an analyst that i've spoken to here says that this really is the nail in the coffin, that if there was any opportunity for the relationship to improve this really close that often, we do expect the relationship to remain frosty, for at least some years to come and china's relationship with these other countries through the u. s. and the u car also worsening. china has repeated its rebuke. of the security packed accused. these 3 countries of harboring a cold war mentality of creating an exclusionary block and of interfering in

china's internal affairs. we had an, a statement released by the chinese embassy in australia earlier today. and in that statement, it said that a strictly should handle its relationship with china in a genuinely independent manner. meaning to say that baiting sees australia is acting as little more than a porn of united states in the region. and it see that reflected in this trade back in this exchange of this nuclear submarines but astray as prime minister says the pact would threaten any one we just found doing what we need to do to keep the straight insights and protect our national interests. i mean, trying to do the same thing. they have massive investments in the military capabilities, including the, in this area and astride it doesn't rise issues around that. all countries will take decisions in the national interest. we believe this will lead to the police instability and security of the region. and that is, i think, a view that is widely shared about the impact of this arrangement. and we encourage

all countries in the region to engage in that way. the un security council extended the mandate of its mission and i've chemist on for a further 6 months. the load was unanimous. they settled on a temporary extension, given the uncertainty enough kennasoft since the taliban takeover. by extending the mandate of the un assistance mission in afghanistan, today, we demonstrate this body's commitment to the un vital role in supporting the afghan people. by extending unanimous work as assigned and resolution 2543, we are emphasizing the importance of the un continued commitment to human rights. civilian and child protection, humanitarian assistance, coordination, and countless other functions which will be fundamental to the future of a scanner. stan diplomat to get to james phase is up to you as a nation. he explains the scope of the un mission. it's the un assistance mission

for afghanistan, and it's been in place since 2001. but actually the un in some shape or form has been enough on a stone since 947, a range of roles that they've done over the years. some of them i think, are not going to be ones they can be performing anytime soon. for example, promoting democracy and arranging elections has been part of their role helping the african government with that, clearly, i don't think they're going to be lecturing anytime soon enough kind of stuff. but they're all parts of the mission, which i think you're going to be greatly increased. for example, the humanitarian assistance in afghanistan, real worries about the state of the economy, the not properly functioning. banking system, the idea that literally thousands, maybe millions of people will start a slow and steady exodus from afghanistan across the borders. although it's very difficult to get across. the board is because they're closed. that's why the un

security council has not done what it normally does. which extend this mission just as it is every year for another year. they've decided really they need to look at the shape of this and how it's going to work. and that's why they've now agreed to 6 months at excess extension. for now, i think it shows behind the scenes even though it hasn't, i think affected the passage of this resolution that there are tensions among these countries and different views on how to deal with the taliban. and remember that is going to be i think one of the other problems going forward for the un is whether to recognize the taliban. there is enough kind of bassett still in his seat who represents a government no longer exists with austria's government is being taken to court, accused of not responding quickly enough to cover 19 outbreaks and ski resorts. the civil law suit is the 1st of 15 such cases,

more than 6000 people from 45 countries. so they were infected during a viral outbreak in the, in the resort of school. don't like kane has more from berlin. effectively what is happening here? the plaintiff's people bringing the case, they say that the authorities in austria nationally, but also locally, were aware of the fact that there had been covey cases in ish go at a specific bar, a bar called kits law in the town of ish good. remember that issue is a ski resorts renowned as the visa on ice. in other words, a place where many hundreds, if not thousands of people would come not just for the skiing, but for the appraise sky for the partying season element. and the argument put forward by the plaintiffs by the people bringing the case is that the authorities knew about it. they were hazard. chaotic in the way they tried to enforce a clamp down in that town. so that what happened was that when people found out that coven was there,

they didn't know what to do. they all congregate in the same places, in the same venues, and then in the same coaches and buses, hours on and coughing and sneezing, catching cove, it passing it to other people. and then of course, leaving ish go, leaving austria going to other parts of europe. and with its spreading cove, it around the continent. that's the case being put forward by the people bringing this case. the austrian government is rejected that version of events and is denying what it's being accused of in this civil court. there was food and drug administration last year to hold a meeting on whether to approve the booster shots produced by 5 bio entech. a panel of independent vaccine advisors will vote on whether there's a need for additional doses. so people aged 16 and older top health officials have warned that some fully vaccinated people may not have enough immunity to cove. it 19 talked about up can come you from the university of exeter says the low income countries shouldn't be neglected. as more developed nation start to handle booster

shots with respect to boosting, you may be protecting some people and so the gain is very marginal. on the other hand, we are ignoring countries like africa, south american parts of asia, where the, the infection is uncontrolled and extensive. and with extensive replication of the virus where there is a lot of infections. you can also get the emergence of variance. and if these very and start to bypass vaccines, etc, it would be a step backward. so a better public, how global intervention would be immunized the rest of the world. my view is really we need robust evidence before we go down the boosting way. and in the meantime, please donate joe back scenes. cuba has expanded its mass vaccination drive for children as young as to it's the only country in the world to vaccinate children that young. it's been a surgeon,

delta variant infections among young people who've an authority say the locally produced cove at 1900 vaccine is safe. the children, the world health organization says that it will help lebanon find solutions to its health care crisis, close to bankruptcy, lebanon is short of medical supplies and equipment. the w h o director general is visiting a router. we come to the formation of a new government serious challenge in lebanon, shortage of medical supplies, shortage of fuel, of banking problems. also problems with water provision and electricity, which actually affects the health condition of the people of lebanon. and we have agreed on what we can do in the short term and what can also be done in the long term. and based on the government's vision,

administration is looking to put pressure on all warring parties to end the fighting. the un security council is unanimously voted to extend the mandates of its mission and i'm going to stop for a further 6 months. they settled on a temporary extension, given the uncertainty enough since the taliban takeover and china has accused us at a straight year of concluding to spare its reputation for the 2 countries. joined britain in a new military alliance, australia as prime minister, shrugging off staging at australia, but also tear up an existing diesel submarine. deal with france in favor of us developed subs with nuclear power critic say the paris should have seen that coming in april, the astray and prime minister refused to sign a contract for the next phase of the project. there was issues though, right from the start. first, a major cybersecurity concerned us raise just before the contract was signed in 2016. that august the french ship builder admitted that it had been hacked. then

there were budget blow outs. the project was worth $36000000000.00 when it was signed. but a sense ballooned to more than 65000000000 of the 1st submarines were originally meant to be ready for sea by the early 20 thirties. but that has been pushed back. benjamin, a host of which is a research fellow and the school of regulation on global governance. the really a national university. he says the b s trillion government was right, and it's is in its decision, but couldn't handle the situation better. isn't how the understandable industry would want to not have these french submarines at hoss blow out overruns in terms of the timeline. it probably would have been a vessel not suitable for the strategic environment. the distributor finds itself in. but getting out of this for some deal was done in a really hands messy way without a working part. it would seem, without doing the diplomatic round work, springing this agreement on friends and creating a huge amount of diplomatic upset and frustration at a time when straight it was trying to bring friends with other external power into

its region as a counterbalance the chinese power. so the p l a in china is in the process back to military expansion, and that is focused on the naval realm, in particular, where china receiving the ability to project naval power around the globe. given that context is quite understandable. the countries like australia, like the united states would be nervous and we'd seek to have some kind of military counterbalance to this growing chinese military mind. having said that, the way in which the strains of find up to this deal is really problematic from the point of us reading policy and then astray was effectively locking itself in to us policy on china, which is increasingly hostile. increasingly adversarial australia is giving itself very low into the new bar and the united states is intent on confronting china. and this trailer is going to be part of that. you would hold him without your telling me that it needs to navigate. there's really complex times. pulse have been open across russia for parliamentary elections. people have 3 days to cost that balance

vote could risk being interfered with. being asked to leave it as late as possible . the criminal wants united russia to do well is the party that supports flooded. mir putin is low in the polls. about 27 percent support russians are very angry with the crumbling infrastructure falling quality of life. 20 percent living below the poverty line. and the fear is they'll take out their frustration on united russia. several leaders from the west african regional book, a co was her in guinea, a day or 2 they imposed sanctions by meeting leaders of the military crew are demanding that elections be held within 6 months. guinea was suspended from echo was last week off the military removed president alpha convey form power thousands of migrants gathering under a bridge between northern mexico and the u. s. state of texas. they're waiting to be processed by us immigration. local authorities estimate more than 10000 people staying a makeshift camp us border agents. so they're providing basic services for the
