we understand the differences, similarities of cultures across the world. so no matter what, i'll just bring you the news and current affairs that matter to you. or i me us president joe biden promises 500000000 more doses of corona virus vaccines to countries. and this is another half 1000000 doses that will all be shipped by this time next year. ah, i'm down in jordan. this is algebra or alive. and also coming up mending ties.

france will send it back back to washington after president biden. and micro smooth over a diplomatic span. and it's in president chi side move to cement his one man room, declaring he'll govern by decree and ignore parts of the constitution and more rivers of lava flow from f. okay. now, in the spanish, on and of la palmer destroying homes and blanketing town and ash ah, the united states says it'll deny another half a 1000000000 doses of the 5, the cobra, 1900 vaccine to countries struggling with the panoramic president joe biden made the promised string of virtual corona virus summit on the sidelines of the un general assembly from the un. my count reform accompanied by his un ambassador, president biden arrived to launch an unprecedented virtual cove. at 900 summit,

he's joined by lead us from around the world. thank you to discuss, among other thing, you know, the vaccine gap between nations, the global shortage of oxygen and the ways in which rich nations can help the poor . g. u. s. has to date distributed 160000000 doses of vaccine to 100 countries. and more is to follow the united states is buying another half 1000000000 doses of pfizer to donate to low and middle income countries around the world. this is another half 1000000000 doses that will all be shipped by this time next year. and it brings our total commitment to a donation of donated vaccines over $1100000000.00 vaccines to be donated, put another way for every one shot we've administered to dayton america. we have now committed to do 3 shots to the rest of the world. all on the call agree that fighting the pandemic is a global rather than national issue truck. and it's the pledges of help. a reality

check by the south african president of around 66000000000 vaccine. those is administered worldwide. only 2 percent of these have been administered in africa. a continent of more than 1200000000 people. this must be unjust. and it also is immoral. well, bleeders had pledged to vaccinate at least 70 percent of the world's population by next year. but as president drum oppose, also pointed out, it is now september and not even 10 percent of the target has been reached. the, despite the parent to witness that nobody is safe unless everybody is and still echoing the bleak message from the un secretary general and his opening address to the general assembly. all the world is on

a precipice. my kind of era at the united nations, dr. christner kumar is on the global health innovation center. he says biden's announcement is welcome, but the president has options to do much more. the u. s. has consistently stepped up as when it comes to dos donations. we are already significantly beyond every other country and now getting to 1100000000 is a very good start to what needs to happen. we know that for the world to be vaccinated, we need 10 to 14000000000 doses. so $1.00 is about 10 percent of what the world needs overall. and of course we're already at 6000000000 doses administered. so we're getting closer and closer. the point that we really didn't hear about was the urgency of the need and exactly like presidents are ram opposed to said the need is now. so it's great to donate those who the year from now. but it's actually much more meaningful to use. the stock piles that the u. s. and other high income

countries have, and we just saw reporting this week that the u. s. is sitting on a stock pile of at least 150000000 doses, which is more than had been the, had ministered across the entire african african continent. so far, i would say we should follow the science and the science is becoming a bit more clear that the vulnerable population will see a significant benefit from boosters. we don't have to use a 1000000000 shots to boost everybody in high income countries. but our projections of the supply right now show that it should be possible in the coming weeks to months to do both boosters and get doses to low and lower middle income countries. we keep hearing from the white house that it's a false choice. i think really what we need to see is action to prove that it's a false choice. and that can start by making sure that we see hundreds of millions and up to 2000000000 more doses of vaccine to low and middle income countries. by the end of this year, that's really the only way we're going to solve the pandemic france,

so send it some basset back to the us after president manuel macross spoke with joe biden to com. a diplomatic dispute in a phone call. biden and macro agreed that france should have been consulted about a security fact that the u. s. is foreign with britain and australia, under their lines, australia will turn it back on a french submarine deal in favor of american nuclear power subs by non macro plan to meet in october. there has been ongoing discussions and engagements at a variety of levels between the united states and france. so certainly the possibility of a meeting was something that was naturally discussed in advance, but also natural for the president to raise that and discuss it at the liter level . in terms of the tone of the call, it was friendly. it was one where we're hopeful and the president is hopeful. this is a step and returning to normal in a long, important abiding relationship that the united states has. with france. natasha butler in paris says micro has drawn notable concessions from biden was been nearly

a week since this diplomatic crisis a rock did. and finally, the french press. nathan minute micro has spoken to the u. s. leader joe biden, in a phone call that we understand was initiated by the white house. well, the white house and the lisa palace both put out simpleton news a statement. and if you read through the may really seems as if joe biden is saying many of the things the present might crawl, wanted say on the public records, you have, for example, a biden. admitting that more open consultation with allies would have benefited the situation. also saying that the, the u. s. was counting on french and european engagement in the, in the pacific region bite. and also saying that the u. s. supported stronger you

defense. that's quite interesting because the whole idea of bolstering you defense has been somewhat controversial with the u. s. in the past, it was certainly something that ruffled the feathers of donald trump, but thought again is biden making. you can say a concession to the french person tomorrow, micro macro, who for a long time has been saying that that you must bolster its defense and strategic capacities. because the, you can no longer necessarily rely on the united states as a partner on the international stage. well, the 2 leaders, it seems, have agreed to meet in europe in october. we don't have a date yet, but i think what is clear from this phone call is that both micro and biden look, they know it's in the common interests of both the us and frauds, to improve the relationship and rebuild some of that trust. it doesn't mean of course that the french are not going to remain upset for, for some while yet,

but i think it is clear that both want to move forward. the taliban is appealing for quick united nations recognition as i've chemistry, new ruler. the group has appointed a new envoy to the un and requested that he be allowed to speak at the general assembly. will the taliban is dealing with escalating humanitarian and economic crises and is taking over last month live to christian salumi at the un christian. so the taliban, katie, thinking this early recognition from the united nations that you've been asked to address, the general assembly, how this all playing out that was putting the united nations in the international community in a very tricky position. on the one hand, there's concern about legitimizing the taliban and their forceful takeover of the government of afghanistan. members of the government, there are actually on the you ended your national sanction list, some of them. so that's a concern. on the other hand, there's worry about an economic collapse if the international community does not

engage with the taliban and assist it, opening up the banking system and getting aid into the country, making it even more of a threat to international peace and security. so these are some of the issues that are being weighed by the united nations and the diplomats from the international community in general. in fact, the permanent 5 members of the security council are meeting with the secretary general right now as i speak, discussing this and other issues as well. we know that earlier this week, the taliban did indeed send a letter to the united nations requesting that their representative be allowed to speak during the general debate. this letter came from the foreign minister and it names the man who was serving as the representative for the taliban in doha, as the ambassador for the country sou hill, shaheen. but right now the us officially recognizes the former and the master, who was named by sheriff donny as ambassador. and until the credentials committee

meets the way things work here at the united nations is that there's any dispute over who represents a country. it comes down to the so called credentials committee, and that's a committee that consists of 9 member states. and those states include the united states, russia and china, who again, are taking place in this, this meeting right now as we speak of the permanent 5. this meeting of the credentials committee were told is not expected to take place until after the general debate. so it doesn't look likely that the taliban will have a chance to address this meeting, but it's an issue that clearly the big powers are grappling with right now and back in when the taliban was last in power in 1996 to 2001 the un didn't recognize the taliban, but again, because of the economic situation, a lot of concern that not recognizing them or not dealing with them would be

a cause for concern. we know that this meeting right now is being hosted by the united kingdom and the foreign minister lives trust said going into it that her goal is to get china and russia to act internationally. the goal of the council is to have a united voice, whichever way to decide to go forward. and that seems to be what they're talking about right now. but again, don't expect to hear from the taliban this week. but after that, it's still very much an open question being debated. alright. chris, in some, in the life was there at you and into your question. thank you. now the us as a, to provide more than $330000000.00 in humanitarian and economic aid to venezuelans, state department spokesman net price says, assistance will support millions of vulnerable people. nearly 5700000 venezuelans of sold refuge in 17 countries across the region. announcement was made shortly after president nicholas maturer,

addressed the un general assembly demanding functions against countries be lifted in the once again. coal for indeed demand that all the criminal sanctions imposed on the venezuelan economy. and society by the united states. and the european union will be lifted, our demand is morally justice and we are making it on behalf of 30000000 venezuelan men and women coming out of here with how does your castro has moved out from new york? most of this money is going toward humanitarian aid and that's assistance for food for emergency shelter, for water, for sanitation. and this is money that is geared not only toward venezuelans within that way. well, but as you said, also those refugees who have fled the country and are, and now in neighboring countries. now that is interesting. this is the 1st time in quite a while that the u. s. has taken new action concerning that as well. and the timing

of course, following missouri speech before the un assembly is also interesting and that it is coming only 4 days as well. after a un special investigator concluded that those us sanctions against venezuela are against international law. she said that they have devastated the country since they were imposed in 2017 against the missouri government and that they have led to 96 percent of venezuelans living in poverty and facing consistent food and medical shortages and recommending that those us sanctions against one is layla be immediately lifted, the byte administration has said anything, but that they said that unless there is significant steps toward democracy madness while those sanctions will remain. and of course, the united states continues to recognize one, why doe, the opposition leader as a legitimate president of venezuela, despite his diminishing power. time for

a short break here now to 0. when we come back, we'll look at the challenges facing the german chancellor anglo myrtle party in upcoming elections. a sheep has to step down and reclaiming arts magic. you can rule academy launches when it calls the world's most joyful show. more of that i it's another beautiful sunny day at 35000 feet. the weather sponsored by cattle airways, boated world's best airline of 2021. hello there. let's have a look at the weather in east asia and it's dried up across eastern and central parts of china. we're seeing a lot of won't come through for shanghai and for will hand. if we look at the 3 day, the temperature is well above average with sunshine coming through ahead of the wet weather that arrives on saturday and that's thanks to the sun moving front that's bringing those pulses of torrential rain. we're going to see it effect those

council held a press conference on the wednesday to denounce the attempt to take over 21 officers and soldiers have been arrested. they tried to take control of several institutions including the state, t, v, and radio stations. well, the 6000 people have not been forced on their homes in the palmer, one of these spanish canary islands. a massive lava flow continues to make its way across the island. from the camera, they have volcano, which erupt on sunday. a wall of lava is heading west towards the atlantic ocean, obliterating everything in its path, firefighters are digging trenches to try to diverted away from houses with more than $300.00 buildings have been destroyed so fast. nicholas are because more from let how much it can get from the crater mechanical shooting. we kind of being released from this crater. it's been like this sunday, and lying and look at what it has done

in green. make the change. look at the ground. there's blanket the ground, but also in this god above why truth get involved filling up. we're seeing the more just here it's already 2000 people out really this greater liver of lava slowly, fully meters. once it hit the ocean, that's at a temperature be another. and into the air, and depending on the could affect the invite in events even more. you're so much less unknown about that

erupt. experts believe the last 25 to 85 days. no one really knows where you have president vladimir zalinski has promised a strong response to his most senior aides survive and apparent assassination attempt. gunshots were 5 of the vehicle he was travelling in south of the capital key of police and more than 10 bullets hit the vehicle, wounding the driver is not known. who carried out the shooting? for stephen, my b. permission caused my toll paid and what's more important? my close friend. so hey, should fear was shot out. so he's alive and he is. his driver unfortunately, is injured and hospitalized. the police are working at the site and a man hunt been launched. this is classified as attempted murder. immediately after my address to the un general assembly, i will go to the ukrainian capital one, who's behind this, frankly,

i don't know who all these powers that could be internal. it could be external saying hello to me with shots from the forest at my friends. com is weakness, but the response will be strong. now on sunday, germans are going to the polls to elect a new parliament for most of the last 40 years. the christian democrats and its bavarian sister party, the christian socialist union, have dominated german politics. but how to do, how made reports from bavaria? that's now shifting. it is one place in germany. conservative parties could rely on. it's here in bavaria. but gail graham halla says that slowly changing in 2014, he became the 1st green mayor of idol, think a village near the regional capital munich. this harrison avita model is the people who are skeptical about a green part to me or here doesn't really fit. they were watching for what the green party can do in the countryside. and now some people say it's not that bad.

they tell me it's good. what you're doing a new style more open, closer to the people. for decades decrease in social union had brought support in this part of germany taking about 50 percent of both at each election. especially among farmers like your good bower. but with only a few days to go, he still hasn't decided who he will vote for by answering foolish to me. and as among, there are many traditional csu voters, but they say they won't vote for the c s u anymore. i think it's also because of cove it but a lot of things are not working anymore. the weight people want them to upcoming election will mark the end. the chancellor angle america, 16 years tenure and with her gone. many say it's time for change this. yes. you is a bavarian backbone of angle americans, christian democratic union, the 2 parties campaign to get a field one same candidate, but finding someone to vill merkel shoes has not been easy. recent poll shows the

social democratic party is in the lead. even if the gap with the conservative is narrowing, many put that down to i'm in last it the cd you see su candidate who hasn't been as convincing. it was very focused on the person. we have a very strong personalization of this election campaign. what is also a little bit new for our political system because we had here for longer the case very strong parties at. busy busy the program of the parties was very, very important, but we see also in this election campaign that candidates and advantages and especially also failures and mistakes of individual. busy candidates made it made a big difference. climate change and social justice have dominated the campaign. and some of the c d. u votes could go to the green party order, social democrats, on death. shoddy, it's

a shame that merkle doesn't want to run any more. cd you people are bit unsettled and are scared that things won't be the same, although they shouldn't be. renewal is important. everyone believes that from all parties. so it's good to have a new coalition. germans, i expect to spread their votes among more parties than usual. the election will be followed by coalition negotiations that could last weeks, if not months, is not yet clear whether germany's conservatives will be included. with the hemi edges, iraq, bavaria, and southern germany. police in australia have arrested more than 200 people. on the 3rd straight day of protests against corona virus restrictions to gap and rubber bullets used against clouds in melbourne after projectiles. the throne of police 2 officers were engine. the protests began after colbert $900.00 vaccinations. were made for construction workers, conservation officials and ne, india have been burning thousands of horns to mark world, reino de,

they've been confiscated from poachers. all came from animals that had died from natural causes, rhinos and endangered species. and poaching is a major threat. their horns fetch high prices on the black market, believe they cure ailments, but this has been debunked by scientists. now, every year since $1768.00. britain's royal academy in london has held the biggest, open submission arctic submission in the world. the event brings unknown and blockbuster artist together under one roof. but due to the pandemic, the summer exhibition was for the 1st time move to the autumn. the baka went to have a look. it is a temple to britain's art establishment. but under the austere gaze of old masters, a scrum of color jostling for attention. the theme if they see a show is reclaiming magic, celebrating the joy of making stuff. thousands of entries to sifted through by a committee of commissions, including famous artists and architects,

is the reason why complete unknowns can find themselves sharing was space with mega stars. and it's nearly all on sale for hundreds or hundreds of thousands of dollars . it's really a joyful experience and we get around $1415000.00 submissions out of which we then choose the work that the academicians, the committee that puts together the summer exhibition team the best. but ultimately, of course, we have to make a selection so that when we're just under 1400 works in the exhibition looming over the gallery. this monumental piece by world famous german artists. anselm keifer, whose work grapples with the bleak aftermath of the 2nd world war tucked beneath it, family picking noses by colon camera. many of the work selected by black artists stealing with complex colonial histories, all on display in a building erected to the height of britain's trans atlantic slave trade. and this piece i do love among them celebrated artists, hugh lock. he rather than knocking controversial statues off their pedestals,

some others them, and garish regalia. i've always said if i wasn't an artist, i would have been a historian. enhance my interest in, in statues, in the history of statues, in history of who gets commemorated. and why, you know, who do we put up there to celebrate? and do they deserve to be there is the question. it's big, it's bold, it's brush in places the works, encourage us to peer into the minds of the office, whether it be an established, famous painter, or an up and coming amateur. this is a declaration, a manifesto, even that whatever you throw it off is buck around every corner on every wall. the word godes view is into thinking. maybe i could do that, which is precisely what 9 year old lucas greenfield did. his work was chosen to feature in the academies, you show it,

so the mailing it's when my head teacher told me to go out for me and they're like it, it felt really cool. but my work, when you buy a pro, this is a rough and tumble exhibition, a reminder that creativity comes in all manner of shapes and sizes. the bulk of al jazeera london, ah, talk a check of the headlines here and just in the united states says it's been a tough, a 1000000000 more doses of the 5, the vaccine to developing nations. joe biden made the pledge out a virtual cove in 1900 summit on the sidelines of the un general assembly. the taliban is appealing for quick united nations recognition as afghanistan new rulers . the group has appointed a new invoice to a u. n. and requested he be allowed to speak at the general assembly taliban dealing with escalating humanitarian and economic crises since taking over last

month. question for me as more now from the united nation let's putting the united nations.
