trying to bring people together trying to deal with people who left behind me. there are some of the media stories critical look at the global news media on audi 0 government shuttle access to social media. me, i me. this must be under and it also is the more the crisis of covered $900.00 vaccine inequality us commit to sending off a $1000000000.00 to for and middle income countries. ah, other fidel, this is algebra law from up also coming up to the as president says your rule by

decree if he passed with changes to the political system. opponent say he's cancelling the constitution. the lava continues to flow from a volcano on the spanish island of palmer, destroying homes and covered towns and ash. first, the us. now mexico struggles with a growing influx of patients. we're trying to stay in the country. ah. as vaccine inequity becomes the focus at the ongoing un general assembly, the u. s. says it will donate another half 1000000000 doses of 5 cove in 1900 jobs to countries struggling with the pandemic. president joe biden made the promise during a virtual corona virus. so much on the sidelines of the un meeting, like had a report from the united nation, accompanied by his un ambassador, president biden arrives to launch an unprecedented virtual cobra,

1900 summit. he's joined by leaders from around the world to discuss, among other things, the vaccine gap between nations, the global shortage of oxygen, and the ways in which rich nations can help the poor. 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 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 date in 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. 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 opposed 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. the world is on a precipice. my kind of era at the united nations was he heard there in mike's report to africa has the slowest vaccination rates of any continent less than 4 percent of its population has been fully vaccinated. now the world health organization says a target, a fully vaccinating 10 percent of the teams, and by the end of september rather is unlikely unless supplies and access to jobs improves so far. only 14 out of $54.00 african countries have reached that 10 percent target. but poor health infrastructure in some countries is slowing down vaccination campaigns, exports or another challenge. initially, most african countries got take over 900 vaccines from a manufacturer in india. but as the country struggled with its own search and infections, it's don't shipments. deliveries have improved, but i'll still lagging behind. well, let's bring in helen. read. she is

a member of the world health organization, international health regulations emergency committee on cove of 19. she joins us by scott, from harrisburg, thank you for your time. and you are also on the advisory committee for the covert vaccine in south africa, which leads africa in terms of the vaccination. right. but how much does the picture cost the rest of the continent concern you? it's an enormous concern because as we all know, countries don't have hot borders. so there's lots of movements of people. and but more than that, i mean we are a continental, there's enormous solar garrity across the african region. so we are very aware that the, the mortality rates are going up. the wages are going up. and as long as we neglect the entire continents in the countries in that continental, we don't get back things out. then we can expect the emergence of new bearings. and so far, the variance of concern that we've seen have all been resistant to some extent to

the vaccines that we have. so this becomes the global threat, as well as the regional threat. as the reporting president provided in the us says it will donate another half 1000000000 doses of the 5 vaccine. what difference will this pledge make from president biden when i think it's definitely to be welcomed, but i think what everyone is saying, and this has come out from the african union as well. is that as a fantastic this, the scale of touch here is, is excellent. but what we needed to get these vaccines out as quickly as possible. we can't pledge and then deliver, you know, next year or the end of next year. we pledge and start to really rolled out faxing because that facility which was set up to support low middle income countries that with, with fewer resources and to get faxes quickly, has been hampered by lack of access to vaccines. and in the early stages. lack of

funding, so the pledge to be welcome definitely. but 2 of the school, the need for speed to get these vaccines to country when you talk about lack of access, what are some of those logistical challenges and getting particularly donated vaccines to low income countries that need them. because i've seen that some of them are arriving with little time left before these vaccines expire. yeah, and this is a real concern, particularly because we know that in many of the rich countries they really do have stuff just back things. but if you leave it too late, then it's going to be logistically, very difficult to start to roll these out. so one of the things that has happened across the african region is that countries have had a recipe for readiness, if you like, where and all of the aspects of receiving the vaccines during the vaccines delivering them out to periphery and beyond have,

have to be in place before the kofax faxing and the, the, a you back in are delivered. so many countries have really got preparedness strategies in play. but as you well know, in many countries, transport movements of goods is difficult because of, of lack of roads and infrastructure. so if those vaccines have a very short expire, it will mean that they'll probably going to be focused in urban areas, which is to be welcomed. but we need to get these vaccines out to all areas in the countries, including rural areas as well. and as time is of the essence, i will have leave it there. thank you for your time. helen reads there and diplomatic ra, which when the us and france appears to be easing with paris, saying it will return at sam baset to washington next week. president, spider and mccomb spoke by phone on wednesday named resolve a dispute of the security impact at the u. s. is formed with u. k. and australia,

as part of the alliance australia cancelled a multi $1000000000.00 submarine deal with firms in favor of the us nuclear powered subs, movements and get to paris biden and mccall plan to meet in october. natasha butler in paris says mccolan has drawn notable concessions from biden was been nearly a week since a diplomatic crisis. a rock did. and finally, the french president, the 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 president might call 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 very cool is that base macro 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 un security council met with secretary antonio terrace on wednesday to discuss august on. he says, 05 permanent members wants stability and peace there. the taliban has appointed a new envoy to the un and requested that he be allowed to speak of the general assembly. kristen salumi has more from the united nations. we've been seeing intense diplomacy at the united nations on the situation in afghanistan, many meetings taking place, including one between foreign ministers of the permanent 5 members of the security council and the secretary general of the un, antonio gutierrez,

the united kingdom chair, that meeting the new foreign minister liz trust said, going into it, that her goal was to get china and russia to take an international approach to the situation there. and what the council is weighing is whether or not to recognise the taliban of the united nations. and on the one hand, there's concern about legitimizing group and a government which has members still on the international sanctions. less to a group that wasn't recognized when they controlled the country from 1996 to 2001 their treatment of women. and girls and ethnic minorities very much concern for countries in the united nations here. but on the other hand, the united nations is warning that there could be an economic collapse in afghanistan if the country is not allowed access to the international banking system. and that could make it even more of

a threat to international peace and security. we've got to hear a little bit of what the secretary general told the members of the p 5 in that meeting. can you send them to the we see is cannot go to follow within the leadership. and we see different behaviors in different parts of the country and the several contradictions between what is sometimes what happens in some areas of the country. now it's not likely that the taliban will be given a platform to speak during the general debate. the new ambassador would need to be recognised by the credentials committee. the credentials committee doesn't meet until november. the committee consists of 9 member states. among them, the united states, china and russia. so these countries will have to deal with this issue before too long. to nadine president chi aside has given himself extra powers,

including rule by decree and says he'll no longer observe all parts of the constitution. the new measures go beyond the steps i took in july, when he facts the prime minister for parliament and assumed the executive authority is extra pounds. includes being able to issue legislative text spine to cree as well as appointing the cabinet and setting its policy direction. i think got lou a senior member of the and how to party the biggest for the school for cindy frozen parliament. he says the president's actions cement his one man ro, mister a. it has put, he says, right now in your total escalation, he's even isolated teams and from the legislation from the constitution. and he's even referring to the premier of the constitution wide in his total contradiction the content of the premier. so right now we are in, in a declared who did start with no possibility for any far fetched to probation. so

we are in that and the music community for both of them and in the international community. they need to be aware right now that there is no way of interpretation. this is a qu cell declared to lead on algebra back in business. how south africa always taking to the skies after being grounded for a year. and why a new report says the world's richest country has failed children in syria? ah, it's another beautiful sunny day at 35000 feet. the weather sponsored by cattle airways booted world's best airline of 2021. hello there. the unsettled weather continues from much of europe. at the end of the week. we got from very active weather systems across the iberian peninsula,

as well as the round the black sea and up in the north. but there is still some settled in fine and dry weather across western parts of europe and the north west. but you can see that wet and windy weather plaguing scandinavia and the baltic sea states that thanks to low pressure that's moved over the north sea. so it seems very gusty winds and heavy rain and we have gotten ab, a warning out across the northern parts of germany for some of those damaging winds . now as you go into friday, it does move off to the southeast, is going to dry up slightly for sweden. but some of that wet weather is going to join up with some severe storms that we've been seeing rolling around those coastal areas of the black sea. so parts of tech have seen some really heavy down pools. we could see more flooding here, but come friday, it pushes off to the east, a bit of a wintery mix coming into play there, but it drives up for much of greece and turkey. temperatures will start to come up again, and there are some fine weather across some parts of southern europe in particular . for italy, we are seeing above average temperatures inside dinny up,

but the rain continues in spain. that's her update. the weather, sponsored by cattle airways, boated world's best airline of 2021 on era online be part of the debate or pacific people. the ocean is our identity and the source of well being. we are the, when no healthy get off the table, it says shooting site atmosphere. people are demoralized, they're exhausted and many health care workers are experiencing p, tfc like symptom. jump into this dream and julian global community. if you're online on youtube right now, you can be part of this conversation as well. this stream announces era, ah, ah, the me

0 reminder about the whole story is this. all the us is doubling it's purchase of covered 90 vaccines to help developing countries. the purchase of another $500000000.00 jobs brings a total vaccination commitment to more than $1000000000.00. itala bond is appealing for quick united nations recognition. as i've gone astound new ruler. the group has appointed a new invoice to the un and requested that he be allowed to speak at the general assembly. from the president has given himself extra power. he'll no longer observe all parts of the constitution. there's power into being able to issue legislative text by decree, pointing the cabinet so half are going to always has resumed flights after being grounded for almost a year. the airline was only running cargo and recreation flights since the beginning of the corona virus pandemic. in march of 2020,

but financial difficulties forced it to hope all operations. last september, the company was already struggling with mismanagement and corruption for years before the pandemic. so made a miller joins us now from johannesburg, where flights have resumed for me to, as we said, this airline had been in a lot of trouble, even before coven. so how's it gotten back to this point? well it's needed to restructure as best it can because there were times wage based strikes from tyler to not being paid. that's just how bad the situation was for a and since then it's sold 51 percent of the company to a private consortium to try and get it back on its feet. but one of the latest investigations into misappropriation of funds and corruption has shown that at least $15000000.00 in recent years have been misappropriated, linked to irregular contracts and issues like that. and so the issues around is

just one of one of many examples around state owned enterprises in south africa where corruption, widespread corruption has been problematic. and this is just another one of the state owned enterprises that has been so severely affected, but also the running of a and it's future is also been criticized by some of africans has been mixed reaction to a restarting in that many say it's a prestige project that is needed. there are many airlines in south africa in fact, low cost a lot cheaper to fly with. and so african airways has, for a long time, been leading public funds and many in the country would say that it's an a line that's not needed. it needed a number of bail out in recent years, and so many are interested to see if it's able to get off the ground and it sustainable. all right, thank you for that for me to mila and johanna. the book fane, sir, as a minister has been criticized to after suggesting that

a volcanic eruption of the canary islands could be a drawer for tourists. a wall of lava up to 12 meters high is slowly moving across the palmer. well, the 6000 people have had to evacuate and sundays are option. nicholas hark reports from the palmer. this is jose hernandez. her mom says house in the distance, just below the gushing crater, still standing. but for how long? he says it was no warning from authorities, but he knew when the earth under his feet suddenly started shaking the summit. luna, who had once again a walk and i angry. i am so disappointed so many people have lost their homes. we have nothing left and nothing was in his neighbors are staying in a nearby parking lot, relying not on the state, but friends and family for help. there in shock with only a few belongings. in a plastic bag they watch. european poorest flocked towards the volcano. encouraged

by spain's tourism minister, whose describe the reception as a great show and incredible natural spec, talk to them and not really much places in the world where you have an active case where you can see that people go to live alone to, to hire, to do someplace in asia, by having that here on canary islands is something very unique, especially the people from the islands spins opposition leader denounced. what many on the island describe as a disaster, tourism thousands of people have been displaced in hundreds of home, destroyed. this is a he gets from the creator and william hearing right now is liquid rubbing shot up into the year as well as the chemicals being released with century reader. it look right below us. look at the thick layer ash just on the conscious on the ground. it's also loud right above the articles of

sulfur dioxide hanging. the air residence in its path are given less than an hour to evacuate. yes, ma, i'm trying to get as much as i love my house because exactly when i will be able to come back. we are still missing to get and we want to pick up some documents, photos, and some clothes. the government has promised to rebuild last houses and say help from the u. s. coming direction. and this isolated island has revealed a fault my european team in placing an unfolding tragedy. nicholas hawk algae 0 apalmer canaries and new report says some of the richest countries in the world of failing children in refugee camps and syria. save the children says the situation is worsening. according to the humanitarian aid organization,

at least 62 children have died of different courses so far this year as almost to every week that he has no age. and he say an estimated $40000.00 children are trapped in the l hall and was refugee camps. and ne, syria, every day is a struggle for survival, and the statistics tell a grand story, save the children, says at least 2 have died every week since the start of the year. some were killed from avoidable illnesses, others by fires, poor sanitation malnutrition and even murder. living conditions are tough and daily outbreaks of violence are making them worse. they are witnessing so much trauma around them. they're living through it every day. busy and we're really concerned about what this means for children growing up in these conditions. it's simply no place for a child to grow up. and so we're calling strongly on government to repatriate their

children, bring them back to their countries and give them accounts for proper life. calls to re patrick, the foreign nationals among the camps. 60000 residents are not new. at least 30000 are from iraq and 10000 are from other countries. many are families of iso fighters, or those who lived under their control before the armed group was defeated in the region 3 years ago. some countries have taken back their citizens, but many have not. since 2017, nearly 1200 children have been repatriated almost 59 percent of them went home in 2019. but repatriation declined in 2020. and so far this year, there have been only 14 the united nations is calling for action from the nearly 60 governments who are believed to have nationals in the camps. but with differences on policy, possible security threats. and the lack of political will many are reluctant. each

of those countries have their own local situation with their own complexities in terms of political environments. so this is something that each government is having to work through as they consider the restoration of their nationals. the 2nd level i would say the legal one. so in many countries as well, there are complexity in terms of the actual nationality of these children and mothers. 80 percent of the camps residents are women and children. 65 percent of them are under the age of 18. they are vulnerable, not just the dire conditions, but also to the threat of radicalization in camps described as the most dangerous in the world. and with the slow pace of repatriation. it will take decades before they can leave that there are 0 the type of tens of thousands of haitian national seeking refuge in the us made headlines this week. or the algebra ad footage showing border officials whipping migrants crossing from mexico. now many haitians

have decided to abandoned hopes of migration to the united states in favor of thing and mexico menu repetitive waiting outside and immigration office in mexico city. these haitian migrants have decided it safer to asked to stay here, rather than risk crossing the us border. i'm hearing people are being deported to high 3 and right now high t, it's very bad. they don't have a president. there are many things so we can't go there. that's why i'm afraid, and i want to live here in mexico. in recent days, the u. s. has been sending more migrants back home following the arrival of thousands of haitian nationals on the us mexico border. but not all are being repatriated. many who have crossed in the state of texas have been given paperwork and the day to appear in the us immigration court. though there's confusion about how authorities decide who goes and who states. right now. it's not clear how they

are being process, what criteria border patrol is using to say, who should have access to parole, who is going on the port taishan flight. they've got to go off this week. images of us border patrol agents on horseback mistreating haitian migrants provoked international outrage. agent captured on video by al jazeera, have been placed under investigation. human rights observers. more in that condition for migrants on the mexican side of the border are even more challenging and immigration agents here in mexico have also been accused of abusing migrate. more haitian migrants are expected to arrive in mexico's capital in the days and weeks ahead. many are going to abandon the north and come down here to the city in search of new opportunities. so i think that migration will continue to increase and we, the 30s must do something to provide the solution that the case requires elsewhere . in northern mexico, people are rounded up in immigration rates and sent south towards the border with

guatemala, where more migrants from haiti and elsewhere in latin america arrive daily. and these last month, the number of haitian people arriving and mexico has increased drastically. this is interesting because haitians are not arriving directly from haiti and said many are traveling from far away as brazil. and sheila, international observers ward that nasty port taishan could overwhelm haiti as thousands, return to the same cycle of violence, poverty, and political instability that forced them to leave in the 1st place. manuel did up a little al jazeera mexico city. the u. s. is it'll provide more than $330000000.00 in humanitarian and economic age to venezuelans. nearly 5700000 venezuelans have sought refuge in 17 countries across the region. in elsewhere was made shortly after president nicholas bureau addressed the un general assembly demanding sanctions against his country. b lifted him out of the once again,

call 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 $30000000.00 venezuelan men and women on this. i mean on this is algebra and these are the top stories. the united states will donate half a 1000000000 more doses of the 5, the vaccine to developing nations to abide and made the pledge to virtual cove in 1900. so much on the solid lines of the un general assembly 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.
