climate crisis and ways to end the corona virus pandemic. the talks come ahead of the start of the g. 20 summit in rome, after the 2 day gathering us president will then have to glasgow for the un climate summit. let's bring in kimberly hawkins. she's our white house correspondent. she's joining us from nevada. can so kimberly, what was the take away message from the meeting between president biden and the pope? yeah, that meeting has just wrapped up the u. s. president's motorcade past bias just a few moments ago, we were not able to watch the meeting live that was due to covet concern. so as a result, we will get some tape playback, potentially at least still photos of the meeting. but we did get a read out of the subsequent bilateral expanded bilateral, if you will, between the u. s. president and also the cardinal here at the vatican. and what we know that they covered for many of the issues that we expected would be discussed
4:03 pm
between pope francis and the u. s. president. particularly the issue of climate change. in fact, the white house has said that the u. s. president, repeatedly thank the vatican leadership for the efforts that they have made to address the close global climate crisis. we also know that they have been very, very vocal about the efforts by the pope to speak out not only in issues of religious freedom, but also on the wrongfully detained in both cuba and venezuela. now in terms of the meeting, given the fact that the u. s. president is a practicing catholic, a devout when at that he also has met with pope francis before we are told that the meeting lasted between the pope in the u. s. president about 90 minutes, it was warm, there was laughter and it was very clear that there was a report between the 2 men who have been friends for some time. and kimberly the g . 20 meetings of course, begin this weekend. but even before they start,
4:04 pm
we've just heard in the last half hour or so, that minister is have a plan for vaccines. tell us about that. yes, this is something that has just emerged from the meeting of the leaders that are here gathered in rome. and it was something that also was touched by the un secretary general as he spoke as well. now, what the issue is that has really been amplified and is coming under the microscope here. the g 20 meeting is the fact that as there is this effort for global economic recovery, there is very much disparity when it comes to not just those that and having the resources to do so. but also the vaccinations in order to be safe and healthy. and to that end, what we know is that there has been identified goal of the world leaders to try and see that the global population at least 70 percent is vaccinated by the year of 2022. now, this is a tall order,
4:05 pm
given the fact that we know right now it is mostly rich countries that are vaccinated in some cases is in the united states. many people getting their 3rd vaccine. well, when it comes to the continent of africa, for example, just 5 percent of the population there has been vaccinated. so you can see the disparity here and why there is a need to address this in a global manner. and so that is what has been announced in just the last half hour . this new ambitious goal to see that 70 percent of the world is vaccinated by the year 20. 22. thank you so much. kimberly how could report from the vatican while the united nations chief is warning world leaders, they must adopt more realistic goals to tackle the climate crisis of the upcoming glasgow gathering. antonio tara says there is time to work towards the right results. but let's be clear is that is a serious risk that glasgow, we looked delivered several recent climates announcements might leave the
4:06 pm
impression, the vocals you pictured. unfortunately, these is an illusion. the current national determined contributions. furthermore, commitments by governments still condemn the world to a calamity. 2.7 degree increase, even if recent pledges were clear and credible, and there are serious questions about some of them. we are still good evening towards climate catastrophe. the captain of a british fishing vessel seized by france earlier in the week has been ordered to appear in court next year, transfer authority, say patrol or did not have a permit to operate in their territory waters. the owner of the boat says it was fishing legally. the dispute between the nations is linked to a post brack, that fishing agreements and has escalated in recent days. we have to correspondence on the story will get more reaction from france with lexi o'brien and paris just a moment, the 1st years paul bryan and he's joining us from london. so paul,
4:07 pm
how is the dispute being received or viewed in the u. k? well its headline news in the tabloid newspaper media here this morning with some lurid headlines that kind of use play on words to almost you swear words in order to refer. busy to how this is french arrest impoundment of this boat has been gone about that said the rights and wrongs of this one particular ship are actually just part of a much bigger tension, which has been creeping and escalating all the way through 2021. there is a dispute over exactly how many french vessels will be allowed to fish in the waters around the u. k. channel islands are not very farther on about 20 miles off the french coast, and they used french as a 2nd language on these islands as well. even though they even are, they are english. and the, the fact is that the french complained that some 50 percent of the boats that used
4:08 pm
to fish there before breaks it had been refused permission to go there. now british say, look, that was a deal. it was signed, it was the trade and cooperation agreement cca. and unless boats can prove using their gps co log books that they have fish there previously. and frankly, they're not going to be allowed to fish there. now they need to show a track record of fishing in that area in order to be allowed in. but the french are so aggrieved that they have gone to the lengths of actually starts to threaten almost blockades. essentially all of fish being landed at french ports of potentially british truckers arriving on the continent. and the response from the u . k. from the government, at least has been to summon the french ambassador catherine colona to the foreign office this afternoon to meet a relatively junior minister within the foreign office, wendy morton, and the other comments that have been made. for example, the environment. secondly,
4:09 pm
george eustace, when asked about the french threats, he said, well, 2 can play at that game. so there is the prospect of a, an s, a further escalation. what was already a pretty tense situation. the impact business wise is, has the potential to be pretty big and i, and so a 3rd of a 1000000 tons of english court or british caught fish is landed on the continent in french ports every year. so if there's a block a that some 3 quarters of the u. k, fish exports go to the european union. so a blockade of those that of the fish would be really very, very serious indeed. okay, thank you so much paul. for that update from london. let's get the view from paris and bring in a lexi o'brien. so tell us more about the court hearing that's been set for the british fishing capital. is this a british captain has been summoned to appear in court in august next year for a hearing now? he is accused of fishing in french waters without
4:10 pm
a license. there about 2 tons of stops on board is blocked when it was seized and brought into the port at laugh at elliot this week. now this was in part of extra checks that are at the center of this escalating dispute between france and britain over the rights to exercise in those water. now germany has white and the german government telling report is going on both sides to really resolve this dispute and promotions. news agency is reporting that the european commission may promote propose talks last last round of talks even this weekend that just days before tuesday, november 2nd, that is when france is, is state to unveil, but it's cooling. targeted measures measures aimed at trying to get the licenses that at once and that it feels it deserves. it has, as po was mentioning, threatened to stop at british fishing vessels from coming ashore in french ports and that would stop that fish hem from coming to branch shops like this one. france, of course, is the gateway to europe. so much of british fishing is on sale here in the
4:11 pm
continent. the other things are very time consuming, lengthy health and safety checks at european and it's a sign actually of how seriously both sides are taking it at the. are there a seem to be what's been called brush past meeting between the french president, emanuel mackerel and the u. k. prime minister at bars johnson this weekend, some time in rome, it is a serious situation. it could escalate if those measures do come and tools on tuesday. of course, lots going on behind the scenes, but as of this morning, the french agriculture minister did tell local television that no progress has yet been made. okay, thank you so much, alex here brian reporting from paris. well, let's cross over to york now in the u. k and speak to berry, diaz. he's the chief executive at the national federation of fisherman's organizations. thanks for your time with us on al jazeera. so obviously there's a lot going on diplomatically, but tell us how concerned you are as well as your colleagues at this escalating ro?
4:12 pm
well, there's a lot of concern, of course, in 2 of our vessels have been detained, arrested. this may be normal enforcement proceedings, but on the other hand, that takes place against the background of very belligerent noises. rhetoric coming from the french government and france and the seems to be determined to escalate this issue. to be frank, i find it difficult to understand this in fisheries terms. i think there must be an additional element, which is a domestic french politics because these kinds of issues about the allocation of licenses the issuing of licenses can cause the technical difficulties. but they are usually result that a tactical level, and indeed i understand the discussions between the u. k and the you have been
4:13 pm
proceeding to resolve the outstanding issues involved. so those licenses will be borderline cases, quite difficult, where the evidence of having fish historically within the 6 to 12 mile limit is absent others. there will be opportunists that are trying to secure the advantage of having to spend deficient in use a war to. so it's highly technical and we would expect progress to be made at that level. very much surprised that it's been escalated to this level. and this level of belligerence in the rhetoric is being used right for both sides claim that they do want some sort of resolution. how do you think it will s deescalate i think we need to make progress at the technical level, which is where it should have stayed in the 1st place. i needed something like 98
4:14 pm
percent of the licenses that have been applied for have been granted. there are a number of difficult cases. i think the answer will lie in resolving those. and at the end of the day, it will be the licenses that will be granted will be to those vessels that are eligible to fish there. so yeah, i think it needs to be taken out of the political realm because this is going nowhere. what's at stake if for fishermen in the u. k of france follows through on the threats of retaliation and sanctions with us. an interesting question because it seems to me that this is all a double edged sword. if we go down the, the rabbit hole, 0 tolerance enforcement regimes, then there are many more french vessels fishing and you came water than you gave us the fishing and you want to. so i can see that that would be of advantage to france
4:15 pm
. and of course, the trade issues that have been mentioned, well, there's a lot of businesses on both sides of the channel in the supply chain. depend on that trade in fishery products to, to take place to something like 5000 jobs in blowing to mer. dependent on all, not trading. so it would hurt us, but it seems to me that it would hurt the french fishing industry that the french supply chain as well, which is why i think we need to de escalate this and take the politics of it and focus on the technical issues. barry diaz, thank you so much for speaking to us from your thank you son. 2 more head on the out there and he's our including one more and why urgency? notice from president my ritual, my crease has appeared in court on spying charges. also ahead
