report from the united nations, accompanied by his un ambassador, president biden arrives to launch an unprecedented virtual cove. at 19 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. 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, bleed is 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 awareness 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 out his era at the united nations, a diplomatic route between the u. s. and france appears to be easing with paris, saying it will return it's and back to washington. next week president joe biden on emanuel michael spoke on the phone on wednesday to resolve a dispute over security pack. the u. s. has formed with the u. k. and australia. as part of the alliance australia cancel the multi $1000000000.00 submarine deal with france in favor of us nuclear power. some. well that moves and good paris biden and mccaul now planned to meet in october. all corresponding natasha butler, parent says mccrory has drawn notable concessions from biden was been nearly

a week since this 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 simultaneously 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 micro, 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 a 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. meanwhile,

the australian prime minister scott morrison says he's trying to arrange a phone call with ammonia. my chrome but has so far been unsuccessful. speaking in washington, d. c. on wednesday, morrison said he would be patient in rebuilding ties with france. the french government has recalled it's a bad day in australia. consultations. the un security council met 60 antonio good terrorist on wednesday to discuss afghanistan, he says, all 5 permanent members want stability and peace in the country. and taliban has requested immediate recognition. at the u. n. the group has appointed a new envoy to the un requested he be allowed to speak out the general assembly. the taliban is facing humanitarian and economic crisis since taking over the country last month. christian 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 got to hear a little bit of what the secretary general told the members of the p 5 in that meeting. i'm going to send them to the we see to follow within the leadership as 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. plenty more ahead on the new zone, including we look at why one the troops sent to help fight arms groups and mozambique, or raising concern about the effectiveness of security for diving new report, claiming the wealth which is countries have fail children in syria and for we'll hear what this heavy weight box that has to say about the prospect of becoming the on the eastern welsh. ah, one troops have made progress pushing bagged armed groups in northern mozambique since been deployed that 2 months ago. the rapid success has raise concerns about the effectiveness of mozambique own security forces. rhonda sent about a 1000 soldiers into the resource rich,

carbo delgado province back in july and the long side local forces that helping people travel safely to and from the town of palmer that's suffered, some of the worst vine and a closer look at the growing security threat in the region. conflict that has escalated in northern mozambique since and insurgency. back in 2017. the government says i so linked fighters are operating in parts of cub god or province destroying villages and kidnapping people and alms group known locally as our bob in mozambique is behind much of the conflict. verify just happen. intensifying raids across villages in cub delgado over the past 4 years. but the government security forces have also been accused of grave human rights violations. amnesty international says there is evidence of them torturing prisoners and dismembering opposition fighters. the violence has killed more than 3000 people so far,

and displaced over 670000. let spring in bushes namir a. he is a research consultant at the institute for security studies. he joins us via skype from motel. my puter many thanks for joining the park program. it does sound like the runs and army has achieved more in just a few days than the mozambique on the managed in entire year. why do you think that is that true? one and have done in just 2 months, why mozambique and could not do in almost 4 years. and that simple 2 assets was run and i better prepare it to face these badges. they have the better equipment we upon they have a better intelligence and they have bed, the men better prepared compared to with them because that's simple to us. what is their want and government getting involved? i mean, they say it's for humanitarian reasons, but is that an alteri motive?

whether that's much complex to explain why they say they're here because of the international solidarity to us isn't with them because people that's very beautiful to hear. but do we all understand that there might be, you know, like, and on an interested to learn about how we can understand it will understand that when i'm not in the province of, of come to god. but they're only present in 2 districts. it part of my end in wisdom, what the prayer and does at the most important in terms of the f l m. g project. while the to be on at the did the 20 video nice. d l n g project is in the panama and with some of the price is important for logistics. so everything that we see now, it's like a one down there to protect, to create and to protect and security perimeter. alien g facility to allow the

french company to come back to the end of the race. ok, so the random army have been successful in pushing back some of this law make threat. terrorist threats. so what happens now do the random continue to have a base that to continue keeping the threats out yet to run and keep the reasons in was i mean, but also it's not, it's not the presence of this that the 1st. i mean, we will engage it in several district to compare it to do one and run and now of the writing in only 2 district. while do that, the course i present in almost 5 districts. so the joint of international force, which will make up around 7 african con, to all of them, of the reading in that region, alongside with them, with them. because how does the locals feel about the rwandan presence?

well organise exam, they feel comfortable organized them to feel happy that they can see some strong men and women underground, protecting them and their property. we cannot deny that. but when we come to the political level, positions and prayer and some condemning people consented about the agreement which brought and do want them to move them because that is not public. so people are questioning for how long they're going to stay. and what is their role, what they can do? what are their powers? so it will say that there is a mix. it, you know, then a happy they just need someone who can protect them. but we need to come to day and some academic people, politician the questioning what they're doing here, what is the agreement, the agreement which brought into one and 2 more of them because not public? no, no, it didn't go to the parliament. so that is it concerned about what will come in the future when the situation doesn't solve it,

then what will be the bill that was then be going to have to pay back to who and very interesting to get your thoughts bogus. now me re speaking to us back from my pewter spain's tourism minister has been criticised after suggesting that a volcanic eruption on one of the canary islands could be a draw for tourists. a wall of lava up to 12 meters high is slowly moving across la palmer. more than 6000 people have evac. you have been evacuated since sundays are option. nicholas hark has this report from la palmer. this is jose hernandez, her mom said house in the distance just below the gushing crater. still standing, but for how long he says he was no warning from authorities, but he knew where 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, an incredible natural aspect, 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 something. by having that here on can i re islands is something very unique, especially the people from the islands phase 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. what are you hearing right now is liquid rock being shut up into the year as well as the chemicals being released with century reader? it looks right to louis, look at the layer of ash, just on the outside, conscious on the ground. it's also loud right above the particles of sulfur dioxide hanging. the air residence in its path are given less than an hour to evacuate and try to get as much as i love my house, because exactly when i will be able to come back. we are still missing 2 kids. 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 us coming direction. and this isolated island has revealed a fault, my european team in each mansion facing an

unfolding tragedy. all nicholas hock is life for us from le palmer this volcano, showing no sign of relenting nicholas, how all the people who've been forced to evacuate coping well, it's extremely difficult. i mean, their life have turned upside down since sunday, since this erupt. and that started here, and as you mention more and more rock liquid rock love magma being thrown up into the air. and really, there are evacuation taking place around this area, but also in the vicinity. but what we've noticed today is that people are learning to live. what is what feels like the new normal living with this volcano. and it's interesting to see where on the edge of europe and across the water is west africa, where people are dealing with rising temperature and changing climate. here at the edge of europe, people are willing to deal with fire and how to live with it. so we've seen this

morning, people sweeping the ashes. there's a thick blanket of ash on people's cars, on people, and people on the road in people's garden there. they're just sweeping away as if it is know. and so that's how people here are coping with it. but there's still a sense of shock of what just happened. well, they know that they're living on a no volcanic island. there hasn't been eruption and 2 generations. so this has really caught people here by surprise, not just people here, but also the authorities to pick you up on that. interesting. you say that in your package that some people are just getting an hour to collect their belongings and evacuated. is the government equipped to handle this disaster? you know, you know, there's, you know, it's been a very resourceful country, but where we're dealing with is a natural force that's very powerful. and despite the, the,

the scientific research and technology available to 2 people in the ground, we just don't know when or when will the law actually flow into the ocean? that's what people are anticipating. it's currently moving and we're talking about a river of lava that's moving slowly at the rate of 4 minutes an hour and it's just one kilometer away from the ocean. so imagine this lava that's a 1000 since your good self hitting the ocean, that's 14 degrees celsius. that will emanate toxic gases, sulfur dioxide and others. but imagine what the consequences this will have all the life around and also in the air with the fear is if the wind blows towards the population, then there will be further evacuation. not just in this side of the out in the baby over over the entire island itself. so there's

a lot unknown on what is to happen. but we've seen yesterday the prime minister and the minister of interior, even the opposition leader calling for unity look, looking through the various scenarios that are possible from the base best to the worst case scenario. today, the, the royal family of spain, that the king of spain is going to visit those displays that are being kept in them in the military base, but also come here to come at the site to show it supports to this small island that's at the very edge of spain at the very edge of europe, and there's been calls from spain, government and reassurance is made that the you will come and help this island. most people here live off tourism, but also off of bananas and banana plantations. but those have been covered with actually we're talking about 500 hector's destroyed, and this will have consequences in the long run for people who have not just lost

their homes, but also their livelihood. marleen many thanks for that. nicholas huck that 1st lived outside that vote volcano in the palmer south african ways has resumed flights on to being grounded for more than a year. the airline had only run cargo and reparation. flying since the beginning of the pandemic in march of 2020, but financial difficulties has forced it to hold all operations last timber. the company was already struggling with mismanagement and corruption for years before the pandemic submitted. miller isn't johannes bug with more on the airlines recovery if needed to restructure as best it can because they would times wage. they strike from pilot to not being paid. that's just how bad the situation was for a and since then it's sold 51 percent stake 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 the $2000000.00 in recent years have been misappropriated, linked to irregular contracts and issues like that. and so the issues around is just one of the, 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 has also been criticized by some of africans. it's been a mixed reaction to. it's 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's 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 syrian forces have entered several more villages around the ra, bringing the country's southern region under government control. it comes to weeks on, so president bashar subs 4th is captured, the rebel held part of the city. they now control much of the country. 10 years to serious war began, the raw province is known as the birthplace of the uprising in syria in 2011. which led to the conflict. meanwhile, a new report says some of the richest countries in the world, a failing children at refugee camps in syria. save the children, says the situation is worsening. and according to the organisation, at least 62 children have died of different causes so far this year, almost to every week they not hold has more agencies say, an estimated 40000 children are trapped in the l hall and raj refugee camps. in ne,

syria, every day is a struggle for survival and the statistics tell a grand story, save the children, says at least to 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 and bring them back to their countries and give them accounts for a proper life. cause 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're 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 still ahead on al jazeera is one of the driest places on earth, but the bounds of migrants walking through the assa. come does it. it is the only way to a better life. by phil laval at the most about the most show in michigan way. easy or big news? once again, as you would expect for us might be facing choices when it comes to meeting some

business. target. uninstall brazilian team. flamenco. close in on a place in the final south american biggest club football competition. ah hello there. the unsettled weather continues from much of europe. at the end of the week, we've got some 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 the 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 we're seeing some 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 we 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'd 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 winter 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 danielle, but the rain continues in spain. that's her update. the more and more in the, in the going under the 9 to become tall. the when i want to investigate the length .
