6:03 pm
from the french side, in fact, that there will be a phone call taking place today, and that it was at the request of the united states. now what we know is that from the french side, not only are they unhappy with the united states, but they're seeking a number of clarifications on where the relationship between these 2 allies is headed. as you pointed out, france not too happy about the recent announcement of august, that is the security group made up of the u. k. the united states in australia. and was the announcement of the creation of that group was also the announcement that australia would be ditching a deal made with the french to purchase diesel powered submarines. and instead would be buying nuclear powered submarines from both the u. k. and the united states, in terms of that technology now that led to quite a diplomatic spat,
6:04 pm
we saw the french pulling there and basset to both the united states and to australia. and so as a result, the united states now trying to ease some of these tensions. again, i call expected between the u. s. president joe biden, and french liter menu, or mac crawl. we are sure what time it will be happening. all we know is that will be happening later today on wednesday. and what we expect is that the friends are not only going to express their disappointment about the fact that they were not notified. a really was much advance notice other than a few hours about the deal being scrapped, but also that they were left out of this security partnership. so there's going to be a clarification about why this happened, but also where the relationship goes from here with respect to the alliance between the united states and france. ok, kimberly, i'll get that live from the white house. kimberly thank you very much, deeds. well,
6:05 pm
let me head across to the united nations, or we can speak to aunt fanatic as a sir. james baynes james civil diplomacy that take place off the white house on the phone. but what's happening at the general assembly because it's another rather busy day there today, isn't it very busy day and some of it is coming from washington again. actually the big meeting that's about start is a cove at $900.00 summit now president biden. as you heard from kimberly's already back in d. c. this is a virtual summit where he's trying to knock heads together with regard to getting vaccines around the world to limit countries around the world. president biden will be attending promotions in dc. most of the other participants. so those virtual or here in new york because they're here to give speeches at the un general assembly. so they will be remotely joining either from the hotel runs or from the that
6:06 pm
countries missions effective. their emphasis here in new york. clearly it's a very, very important issue. the un secretary general spoke about it when he gave his speech to the general assembly on tuesday, reminding people that yes, in some of the rich countries in the world they've been getting, i think it's coming to an end, but that's not how it feels in the developing world, he said that 90 percent of african haven't even had that 1st dose. he said that was something that was a moral indictment of the world and an obscenity. so i think you're going to get a lot of pressure on some of the rich countries to do more, get more money, get more vaccines to the rest of the world. but clearly it is a massive undertaking, given the billions of doses that you're going to need. that's the kind of a summit. that's not the only thing, that's all the main debate continues with world. lead is one off, one speaking watch for king solomon soon. the king of saudi arabia to be speaking, and then on the sidelines,
6:07 pm
important meetings of the foreign minister of the 5 permanent members of the un security council. and then the foreign ministers of the g. 20 group countries. a range of issues for both. but i think top of the general both is i've kind of on both got to work out a way to deal with the tell about how much to engage with the taliban. clearly important for the 5 permanent members of the security council. the british new foreign secretary list trust will be chairing that meeting and she's keen to get russia and china to a common position with the rest of apartment 5 for the g 24 because we got a big summit coming up in just 5 weeks in rome. and they need to work out how much they going to engage with the taliban before they sit down at leader level in rome for that meeting. certainly not to discuss people, of course, be coming back to you james. but for now, james bass of the united nations. thank you very much. in theed. well, as we heard the president joe biden is set tonight in the us will double, it's
6:08 pm
a global vaccine donations. that increase would bring the u. s. pledge 5 jobs to 1000000000 doses next star eyes and will convene that virtual vaccine summer on the sidelines. old the un general assembly. it aims to rally world leaders, n g o is an philanthropists and embrace a goal of vaccinating 70 percent of the world. in the next year, some of the world's top pharmaceutical companies are keyes of limiting corporate 19 vaccines in developing nations. a report by amnesty international shows less than one percent of people and low income countries are fully vaccinated, developed countries, it's 55 percent. and the c says the 6 companies that have led the vaccine wall lights, profits before lives, specifically by refusing to wave intellectual property rights to low income nations . unfortunately, pfizer and biotech and delivered 9 times more vaccines to sweeten. and so all low
6:09 pm
income countries combined madonna has not yet delivered a single vaccine dose to a low income country. well, let's stay with this. we can speak no to marks on runs. he's a professor at the university of lloyd's, and the rica institute for medical research joins is not from brussels actually being with us on the program that i'm the stay report, which is it's quite clear. this is the vaccine makers fault. that's so few people are vaccinated worldwide. would you agree with that assessment? i think it's a common responsibility. first of all, we have to have to agree that this is the biggest vaccination program ever in the history of mankind. $6000000000.00, those that have been administered already and in a time spent less than a year already. 44 percent of the population had received one vaccine. but the differences between the continents are between high income and low income countries
6:10 pm
are extremely important. if this is what's behind those differences, is this because vaccine makers are focused on profits or is this something else to it? i think the, the high income countries have lobbies extremely diligently to, to say, slightly wasting vaccine companies to, to just, well, basically. so the 1st benches of axis, the 1st billions of batches to them, they will more than they can ever administer. so there is a big disparity there and a coma responsibility of the governments around the world and that i've seen manufacturers. and so in terms of how you even decide what needs to be done, i mean, cuz developed nations right now are talking about vaccinating children, ruling thirds, faxing doses, and booster doses. do you think the onus is on government,
6:11 pm
send these develop nations to, to stop these extended programs and start facts and each the rest of the world? first, is that one way to even the side? that would be a scenario that's of course easier said than done because these politicians, they are concerned with their filters that told them in power. so that's going to be extremely difficult. i think the w h o, the world health organization, as has said, it very clearly thinks very hard, it's about the ethically it is to start talking about are those booster doses fascinating children when, for example, in low income countries, only 2 percent of the population is asking you to receive one goals and impacts. is that going to have on the pandemic? would you say me? because the rachel has been going on about this since this pandemic began, since the vaccines are made available. it's not over until in the safe. so everyone
6:12 pm
safe, if this situation continues, where you know, 90 percent of africans have not had a single dose yet. i will much longer. is that going to extend the pandemic by? i mean, are we going to be in the situation for another 6 months, 6 years was your view, but we're not going to get rid of the virus. the virus hopefully will evolve into a harmless or more harmless, common cold. ready fires, however, the mutation engine will continue to run as long as we're not action anything the, the large majority of the population. so that is rather, i'm avoidable. if we do not vaccinate continents as we were clearly not doing now. ok, mart phone runs, where it is tied, but great. get your thoughts. thank you so much for joining us here on the al jazeera user. thank you. us democrats of pressure. it's the party to remove $1000000000.00 worth of annual funding for israel's iron. don't
6:13 pm
missile defense system is the latest episodes and an ongoing intro party debates over support for israel. the funding is still expected to be allocated to the us is 2022 defense bill. but the fracture insides, the democratic caucuses, whitening over how much military support israel has given plans more head solomon youth are included in look inside afghanistan, abandoned by graham prison. former inmates returns to the us run jail stories and abuse and torture. and a rare glimpse into kelly's recovery is the brazilian football legend sense he's getting better every day. link his operation and he will have more for you. ah, i don't know where the sofas councils deputy chairman has blamed
6:14 pm
cheese days qu, attempt on politicians saying they've turned a blind eye toward people needs general mohammed hand on the carlo and the council's president fatter. upper hand has held a news conference, 21 officers and a number of soldiers being arrested and questions following these tempted takeover . tried to take control of several government institutions including state t, v, and radio stations, nevada, fema, we addressed you today as we lived through dian moment and now history. we had hoped the transition would bring a better future. you will all have followed the found qu, teams of yesterday, with the a, if managed, to defeat, into a wrist all perpetrators, without any losses. it is not the 1st attempt, as we have failed many in the past. you have the right to ask for a reason for these repeated attempts, and we say it openly and candidly. it is the politicians who turned
6:15 pm
a blind eye to the people's needs and busied themselves fighting for power and competing for control. this is created anger among the common people who are struggling on a daily basis for food. water and medicine. have been, morgan has more and i, from cartoon. the military kept, keeps reiterating since, since they announced that they are in control of the situation. they've been saying that their role is to preserve the security and stability of the country. they've also been accusing political parties of not focusing on what's happening in the country rather being focused on our end positions in the government. now let's take a look at the makeup of the transitional government. you have the sovereignty council, which is made up of 5 military members. 6 civilians from nominated by the ruling coalition that the coalition of political parties then have 3 members from the on group that signed the peace agreements with visiting the government in october last year. on the other hand, you have the executive branch that's headed by prime minister optima. hm. due to
6:16 pm
the civilian and has cabinet members from various political parties and from groups as well. so it's, those 2 councils are cabinets that make up this current, transitional government. but there's always been a war avoid between the 2 sides. there's always been tension between the 2 sides. and when i say the 2 sides were talking about the civilians and the military, the military has repeatedly been accusing the civilian component, especially the political parties of being focused on getting position on clinging to power. and that they're not focused on the issues that are the countries facing, such as high inflation and market prices. and the fact that many basic commodities and services are available to people who live below the poverty, the poverty line. so that's something that the military has been repeating. on the other hand, when you look at the civilian component, especially the coalition of the political parties that are currently running the government, they say that the military has been trying to hold onto power and has been unwilling to let go of some of the resources that they control such as the gold
6:17 pm
mines and such as the companies that them is that is under military control at the moment. libya is 1st unified elections schedule for later this year are in dire charge to politicians and the east withdrew confidence. in the transitional government. it's only been empower for 6 months. the prime minister says you'll continue to lead the caretaker administration. i think china reports from tripoli in a closed session on monday, the eastern base parliament and to brook said it passed the vote of no confidence in the interim unity government. but now there are questions about the transparency of the vote. and if it was even legal about that offer on the stop is just at the old time at the after reaching court for today's session with $113.00. and he's present a vote of no confidence is carried out with 18000000 m p 's voting to whole confidence from unity government. unity. government will continue its work as a caretaker government mohammed, it is an m p. he says that for a no conference vote to be legal,
6:18 pm
at least $120.00 m p 's most vote for it to be official performance. what we saw today was a group of m. p. 's who agreed to carry out a vote. they entered the hall and within minutes announced the $89.00 m. p. 's, both the pool confidence from the government. there wasn't any information on who voted how many voted against and who abstained. men in the government of national unity came to power in march. it followed a long and challenging political settlement helped by the united nations. it was task with leading the country until nationwide. elections can take place in december and you'll see as it are you gonna move by the parliament to vote on i know confidence motion is not in little interest. well, parliament and government shall be cultivating and intensifying that i fits to provide the right conditions. the holding election that after years of conflict, libyans were beginning to feel hopeful that things were getting better. but now with clear signs of political divisions emerging,
6:19 pm
that feeling may start to fade away and put into question. if elections can be held as schedule my latrina, l 0, tripoli, and i sell gammas is the founder and director of the said that institutes few explains the funding issues within the unity government. i think we should also remember the context. this is a new unity government also government that was appointed by the very man is instrumental. i've been choreographed that boat the there are going to follow. so this is a new conflict or new random company with new actors. but it's still about the very same issues that have underlined the conflict many years. now that seems to be a number of irreconcilable differences between the government of national unity and the leader of the parliament in eastern the summer. and i'm actually pop there, namely the budget that they have been debating there for several months. the budget for the libya national army live in ireland force. it's really popular sources.
6:20 pm
whether or not it will be subservient, whether they get to a point administer of defense and the money that they will eventually give them a legitimacy of the army itself. so these are the kind of issues that are, are standing. they haven't been able to kind of come to an agreement over those issues, but over the broader picture as well. that hadn't been other issues that relate to the government of national unity, but to the broader process, the core for elections, which are not less than $100.00 days away. and that has been the constitutional framework, the checks and balance of the brand new president in the ullman, an electoral law. so many issues that have been left to the final minute that seemed to be delaying the elections. and i think that this kind of game of brickman ship, we've seen this before, happen for several years. morocco's designated prime minister has said the 3 biggest winner parties have agreed to form a coalition governance, the billionaire fuel tycoon as ease i can wish was appointed by the king on september 10th. 2 days after his liberal and our party won the highest number of
6:21 pm
parliamentary seats, newish replace said, dean, it was funny from the justice and development party, you will see decades after the us invasion of afghanistan, afghans had been returning to a jail. they were held in before the taliban take over. i'll just 0 has been given where access to the now abandoned by graham air base and prison complex. some of the inmates of made allegations of abuse and torture. but it's not be impossible to independently corroborate those claims. a warning, some of you may find the testimonies in some of java's reports disturbing. they call it that he'd gone to the mill or a gun is tons of great. heading back to the notorious by graham prison. these are some of the former prisoners. it's not easy to find the way in the sprawling 30 square kilometer town. even the taliban had to stop for directions. but once you enter the scale of the prison complex,
6:22 pm
which ones help tens of thousands of people becomes evident building after building door after door. the men which were once held here, remember their humiliation and torture at the hands of your soldiers and fellow after imitating what the gods did. they wouldn't let me sleep, said freed, who spent 7 years indifferent cages. he was in physical therapy for extensive torture by african american troops. he says tortured prisoners were hidden in the block away from media and humanitarian organizations until they were heal. is it a horn at all? supported volume, my legs still weak and in pain they yanked my private parts with a cable. i was bleeding from it for almost 6 years. no matter how many times we said we didn't do the crime, they would torture and tell the prisoners said yes. from uniforms to prison fellows inmates here have been telling us that this was one of the worst places to have been mentally tortured. if they did not behave well. the, the condition is,
6:23 pm
would blow very cold during the winter and very hot during the summer picked up in a night grade moltby hush me remember being blindfolded in didn't naked in the early years of the prison. he thinks they were being fed dog food. smelly, neat as he remembered that the average in the canada revenue college and american girls would come dressed in bikinis take us to the toilet. we got 3 minutes were about and these girls would watch up. then there were no african guards here. nobody was allowed, not even the red crescent. they made us watch sexually explicit films and we weren't allowed to look away. we were sleep, but our interrogations were almost 10 to 12 hours. rights group, such as human rights watch, amnesty international and the american civil liberties union have corroborated similar testimonies of torture and abuse into the oven. for the us army charged $27.00 soldiers and enlisted personnel with criminal offenses, some with naming un involuntary manslaughter. some prisoners with teenagers,
6:24 pm
they say others were brought from different countries on rendition flights. ah, the complex was also home to the largest military base lifeline to us, the collision troops in gunnison ahead of secretly leaving the base at night. us forces said they destroyed nearly 15000 pieces of equipment and sent over 700 loaded c, 17 aircraft out of a fun son. strap is what's left of black hawk helicopters, generators, vehicles, and other equipment. whether reinstate on the legacy is the abuse. tens of thousands illegally detained without trial. that's how they'd make us up for the scottish hub at the moment. did you? uh, they knew we'd be upset if they disrespected the corps on, so they'd throw it in the toilet. i spent almost a year here. it was a scary place. ball graham was a place of utter cruelty and barbarism. the taliban fight to say they feel happy to be here once again. as victors, not captive some people the world knew them as barbaric monsters,
6:25 pm
which is how they see the captors. some of bon jovi delta 0 by gram prison. oh hello thinking i see the white house for joe barton is making that announcements about the launch of the, the vaccine the vaccine at pledges versus is global vaccination coal. this global covert science, which we have been led to believe was the coast or event. it eventually opened less listening and hear what the president has to say here of true global health security for all people. that is a big, big goal i have, we have, we should have real lead with the power of our example. and we're not going to stop . but the only way to get this done is for everyone everywhere is for all of us to step up, which i'm confident you will. and now i like to turn this over to
6:26 pm
a bachelor, thomas greenfield, united nations, and want to thank everybody on the screen. i can see here without going to each one of you for all you have done continue to do. i think you all know we can do this. we can do this, we have to. so thank. thank you all. thank you, mr. president. and let me thank you all for joining us today to participate in the cove at 19 summit. as we collectively worked in this pandemic, this administration is grateful to be working alongside you. and let me start by echoing what the president made clear because this pandemic is global. none of us is safe until everyone is safe. only a truly global response can meet and defeat this, this threat. after all, the world has learned the hard way that global health isn't only about viruses and disease. it touches every aspect of life itself. economies have
6:27 pm
collapsed, gender based violence in spite. millions of children have lost valuable education time. and many particularly girls may never return to school. the pandemic has disrupted people's lives and livelihoods in ways it will take us years, maybe even decades to fully comprehend. we have to come together to vaccinate the world, stop this pandemic, and build the global echo system that is well equipped to prevent detect and respond to outbreaks. so we're ready for the next pandemic. that is what this summit is all about gathered here we have the people, organizations and knowledge necessary. put co that in the past. so let's share our experiences, our expertise, our best practices. let's bring our funding and our technology to beer. and let's
6:28 pm
work together through the w h ho co backs and the united nations to vaccinate the world and make 2022. the year we learned that public health is absolutely essential to global security and safety to that in. i'll start by handing the floor over to the secretary general of the united nations. miss antonio good terrorist, who can speak to the importance of vaccinating the world and the role they get on at nations. and multilateralism can play and stepping out this pandemic secretary general over to you by then. excellence is i want to send president by then foot. ok, i haven't technical difficulties there with that feeds see the united nations. but we were listening to that cool bids summit being held at the white house there. and
6:29 pm
virtually of course, the u. s. president joe biden has said that they're prepared to buy $500000000.00 more vaccine doses did an 8 to low and middle income countries. he also claims that old doses would be shipped by 2022. and as we heard from the, the ambassador, the us, and bassett, or linda thomas green fields. she underlined that a global response is what is needed to meets and tackle this threats. let's bring in our diplomatic ads sir james bass. he joins us live from the united nations and james leo and secretary general, very. he was sending the alarm yesterday at the you and a bite. this certainly is clearly being a needs for more global cooperation. when it comes to tackling this pandemic with this summit, you think that's an important 1st step when it comes to cycling the cobit tons and not just in the u. s. but globally. yes,
6:30 pm
absolutely. i think that they really do need to get all the well together because of the enormity of the task. and that is the idea of this summit that you saw the very beginning off. now i don't think actually you have seen a technical problem. we were told originally this some, it was complete because we weren't going to see any of it. it's clear that the u. s . decided to put out the, the comments of president biden, and also if it's back to you and then to thomas greenfield. but my understanding is, are the diplomats were told that their contributions would not be seen by the public. and that's why i think the feat has caught. and you haven't even seen the un secretary general. but we know what the 2nd general has to say on this, because you say he made a speech on it. part of his very somber speech will be made to the united nations. yes, they sounding the alarm was about 19 he reminded us that in africa, 90 percent of african people have only had that 1st. busy dose,
6:31 pm
so it's not 90 percent 90 percent of african. i've not had that 1st of those evac vaccine. he said that was a moreland diamonds in the state of the world. he said it was.
