rory challenge has this update from london fronts of rice over the u. k. has been fraught for a number of years, not the disastrous, but certainly fraud, mainly because of breakfast. and france is key role in decision making within the european union has also meant that over the last few years has locked horns with london over numerous things. we've got the disagreements that have been hatched over for a good many months and years to do with northern islands to do with access to the european marketplace tice bracket and currently to do with immigration. there are people who are coming through france leaving french shores in small thing, ease and coming to the beaches of southern england. that's a, that's another issue between the u. k. and france. they're having to deal with the owner bilateral level this latest route. i think although the u. k is not

it's in january hundreds of people breached the building in a bit to overturn former president donald trump's election. defeat an expert panel in the u. s. as reject as a proposal to roll out covered 19 booster shots to all americans. age 16 and older . excited a lack of safety data on extra doses and doubts about the value of mass boosters. but it endorsed extra pfizer biotech shots for people above the age of $65.00 and those at high risk of severe disease. however, the vote isn't binding. dr. amish dodger is a senior scholar with johns hopkins center for health security. he says it's likely that the 3rd dose could help prevent hospitalizations. in some cases. in some of those higher risk groups, those that are elderly, there seems to be some benefit. i don't think in the united states that the question of supply, i think we have these vaccine doses are already there on hand for people to get. but i do think, in general, if, when you're looking at the trajectory of the pandemic, it's 1st,
5:11 pm
2nd doses that are the most important. 3rd doses are, are less important than those 1st 2, especially if you're trying to keep hospitals from going into crisis. but that's why this is a narrow recommendation from that f d a committee based on where there actually was evidence not blanket, it's not going to be something that changes. really. the transmission issues with the, with the virus, i think it's really circulating amongst the unvaccinated. as president biden said, this is a pandemic of the on backs needed. what that 3rd dose will do is protect some people who are at high risk for severe complications from needing hospitalization. so it may have an impact on hospital capacity in some parts of some parts of the world. but in general, transmission that, that issue is going to be solved with 1st and 2nd doses. 3rd dose is less important when it comes to transmission, but more about protecting those individuals who have higher risk for disease. we've seen some de munition and protection against serious disease with the vaccine because of their age because of their high risk conditions. are still ahead and i'll just say they're getting military rule as talk tough and refused to let

frances recalling it some basset as to the us and destroyer after what is calling us fab in the bag. frances angry officer miss tony a cancelled a multi $1000000000.00 submarine contract to enter a military alliance with the u. s. and the u. k. i start tunnel and the u. s. has rejected the government plans to roll out corporate $900.00 booster shots to all americans. age 16 and older, but it's endorsed extra pfizer biotech shops for people over the age of $65.00. okay, let me take you back to our top story more in those mass process in tunis. william laurence is professor of international relations at the american university is also from us diplomat engine. is it? he's joining us by skype from washington. d. c. good to have back on august. you know, thanks very much. indeed. we were hearing from our, from a journalist by louis who is on the streets of june, esther, in the middle of those protests. and she was telling us earlier in the program that the, the call that people are making today is for more information. they want more clarity
5:16 pm
about what the president is doing. why is it taking the president so long to put the forms in place? well, there is a number of issues at hand. first of all, he and now he 1st right after the july 25th seizure of power that he would announce a prime minister and a government. and he has yet to do that in part because very few technicians want to work for him. he's fired 3 prime ministers. he's been blocking many government ministers through his entire period president and for the last year and the idea that someone would want to join an interim government. it's so fraud. and in this circumstance, given all the pressures on the government and all the failures by the government, no one i think really wants to work for him. he also announced that he would have a roadmap and all of my sources in can you just tell me that several roadmaps have been offered to him and he's rejected all of them. in part because there wasn't
5:17 pm
much creativity there in terms of what he was looking for. i didn't really match the vision and he doesn't really have the bandwidth or the staff to develop a roadmap. and then of course he, he's making lots of promises on anti corruption, but he shut down the corruption commission. he's making promises on economic deliverables, but he's not delivering and, and no one really seems to be able to help him in that regard because he fired his economic team. and so this is just a massive failure of governance. and, and the fact that he and also he fired most of the buyers prior to that. so he's, he's, he's sort of created a recount around self. many layers is security around the presidential power. i stop talking to the 2000000 people and mostly just talks the foreign delegation coming through town, telling him that you need to get back to democracy. is there a suggestion that given the fact that the president previously had a reputation for being a very practical individualist,
5:18 pm
let me put it like that. he had a very low key image. if you like. he took a very mechanical approach to many parts of his office and in fact, that's partly what surprised everybody when he took the action he did back it back in july. is it a lack of understanding or a misunderstanding of what the people action is? you actually want, do you think when he is possibly concentrating on the logistics in the mechanics without realizing how important it is to communicate what he's doing politically to the people in his ear? well let me start by saying i agree that he's sort of clinical and technical and also no key, but he's not really practical. he's a utopian and he wants a completely different constitution based on sort of cutoff you'd like present principal of direct democracy. and a misreading of the american constitution, and it's a presidential thumb that he's been arguing for since 2011 and no one really agreed with them. and he said, that's going to fix all of his problems, including the economic ones, which it won't. but so he's sort of a utopian,
5:19 pm
not very pragmatic. he is populous that he does understand that most nations wants the economic deliverables more than anything else. but junior, was on the verge of signing a major agreement with the i a mass that's completely on hold. now because you fired the whole negotiating team and terms that i cannot make progress, he doesn't seem to really understand, no economics work. so he went to the employers association that i want you to lower all the prices which they did for a few days. but in the context of the economic crisis that could be sustained and then all the price went higher than they even were before. so he knows what you're complaining about, but he doesn't seem to have the ability or the vision to meet what they want. one of the issues about these particular demonstrations, given the scale of them is of course, how the security forces are going to react to this. because the big that will give some indication how they may well react in future if it comes to defending the
5:20 pm
office of the presidency. people are gonna be watching this very closely on the yeah, and this is a huge issue because he didn't trust his own presidential guard, which is why he deployed the military around the parliament that the beginning. but the military didn't want to be part of a cruise to base, been clamoring to go back to the barrack from the beginning into a large degree of started to do so. so if you approached the presidential policy junior right now, you go to ring after ring of security with lots of different parts of the security forces that are as seemed to be as much keeping an eye on each other as actually providing protection. and so it's, and they don't even talk to each other in terms of radios and stuff. so it seems to be the president mistrusted everybody in many respects. that raises a lot of questions about what the security forces will do over the medium and long term. it's really good to get your thoughts on. this is always william laurence. we appreciate it. thank you very much indeed. well, in afghanistan,

such as pollution such as over fishing, and we have global threats and this is what is associated with the global climate change. and with these threats. right now we cannot solve global climate change. that's a bigger problem that needs countries cooperating right now that are not cooperating. but what we can do is we can reduce the local stresses on our, you know, squirrels are in much better condition to withstand the issues from global climate change. and it's those local threats, these marine conservation and research team members are out to combat they're working to protect carl reese, restore, degraded ones, and provide alternative habitat for marine life. and they're using this underwater, carl, nursery, and an on shore coral farming facility to do that. many call it the rain for a still the see. and while coral reefs cover less than point 2 percent of the ocean
