forced the cancellation of australia's multi $1000000000.00 deal to buy french submarines. the ladies are in room for the g 20 summit, then they'll head to glasgow for the un climate conference. we have a no more world i it's been with us in the beginning region in par can. i was climbing a lot of grace. i was under the impression certain things to happened but had a moment to clear. fresh green no less important precisely to be sure that such a situation will not be possible for all future hunger coordination, stronger cooperation. but for me, what's important is that we built rings of best with some great concrete actions in
8:03 pm
order to strengthens a partnership. in say, hello, this clarification between what european defense means and how this is completely compatible with nato. what's european sovereignty means and how it's important for global security. let's bring in our white house correspondent, kimberly how can, who's ly press in rhyme. hello there. kimberly. it's certainly been a big day and there was that concession from the u. s. president to his french counterpart during their 1st person meeting 1st in person meeting, i should say, tell us more about it. yeah, well this was really long anticipated meeting, given the fact that just weeks ago, the united states and now the creation of the security alliance between the united kingdom, australia and of course the us and in part this arrangement included the sale of nuclear technology,
8:04 pm
at least to power submarines to australia will this cause quite a rift between the united states and france for a number of reasons. number one, because france was left in the dark about this deal and it cost the money they had their own deal in place was lost roja to supply diesel powered submarines. so this was certainly an embarrassment domestically for a manual macro, and also an outrage that he had not been notified about this nor had he been informed that this security partnership or was taking place. so as a result, he pulled his ambassadors from not only australia, but also the united states. they had since been restored. and now this was the 1st face to face meeting for these leaders. although they did have a very brief phone call to discuss the issue, and as you heard there the u. s. president, once again, underscoring that it was a clumsy error on the part of the united states to really insulted ally as such as
8:05 pm
france an important ally. and you heard there from emanuel macro, the sort of moving forward. and acknowledging that there is an important relationship despite these mistakes and what matters is what happens in the coming weeks, months and years. and before that, kimberly bye to met with the pope for a 90 minute session. what was on the agenda then? joe bivens only the 2nd catholic president in the united states history. and this was a very important meeting, not only for joe biden as president for a formal meeting of 2 heads of state, but also for him personally. in fact, the u. s. president was said to be laughing and very comfortable. it was clear, there was a rapport between these 2 men that have met several times before. in fact, this was their 4th meeting. now, as he talked about the meeting he shared with for porters that they prayed together, that the pope blessed joe biden's rosary and also told him that he should continue to take communion and quickly why that's important is that there's
8:06 pm
a debate in the united states right now, given joe biden is pro abortion or believes in a woman's right to choose, and that is in contradiction to the church which believes that this is murder and that there should be, it really is anti abortion. and so many people are pushing back in the united states saying that joe biden is not a good catholic. but in fact he got the blessing of pope francis who said he was a good catholic and that he should very much continue to take communion. they talked very briefly, also about climate change and also about the need to ensure that there is acquittal, equitable distribution of vaccines when it comes to cope at 19 around the globe. thank you very much. kimberly for that update. kimberly how could live for us in rome? thank you. the united nations chief has warned world laid as they must adopt more realistic goals to tackle the climate crisis at the upcoming glasgow gathering. and tanya gutierrez says, the cult $26.00 summit is
8:07 pm
a pivotal moment for the world at diplomatic editor, james bass reports from run. while the un secretary general has been speaking as protesters have been protesting here in rome, across italy and around the world, the secretary general has been sounding increasingly pessimistic in recent months about the prospects for the global climate summit. what warning repeatedly, raising the alarm that time was running out. well, where are we now? we're just at the eve of the g. 20. it was deliberately time the g 20 should come immediately before that conference in glasgow that starts on monday. the secretary general saying that this is a pivotal moment for our planet. and he's saying that all roads to success in the conference in glasgow come through rome, but he's not at all sounding optimistic. let's be clear that he's
8:08 pm
a city is risk. the glasgow. we locked the lever. several recent climates announcements might leave the impression of a rosy picture. and fortunately, these is an illusion. the current national determined contributions. furthermore, commitments by governments still condemned 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. while if that sounds negative, i can tell you what i've been told off the record by senior un source who didn't want to be named. and that's the pre some negotiations that take place then known as the sherpas, the invoice of different leaders. they've been extremely difficult. i'm told on cobra 1900 vaccinations, perhaps some positive movement there. but on the key issue of climate really
8:09 pm
absolutely no progress so far. and i think they're going to continue negotiating the sector general, making it quite clear that it's absolutely vital what that what the g 20 does here, if there's going to be a success in glasgow. another complication of all of this. this was supposed to be the 1st g 20 meeting after the pandemic, with everyone meeting face to face. and when you get the world leaders together on climate, but also on issues like i've got to stop and sit on around the table, that's when they hope to solve problems. they're not all going to be here though. japan's prime minister is not attending because of an election, but most importantly, i think you got president sheet of china and president putin, of russia who are not going to be in either rome. all gloves go and they're attending this g 20 remotely. let's take a look at some of those protests. james, initially mentioned swedish activist, scattered turnbook has joined the much in london. there was a chaotic crowd around her. she arrived demonstrators in marching between
8:10 pm
a bank and what's been described is the largest climate finance protest in history . meanwhile, large crowds have also gathered in television, robin square, a student organization called green code is leading. the matches there, along with a number of environmental bodies. and in paris, protest is a denouncing the financial funding of french multi national oil company. partial, the firm has been accused of dam playing the climate risk from fossil fuels for decades. to other world news now in the u. k, is threatening greater checks on all you vessels fishing in its waters. if france goes ahead with a series of proposed sanctions, the escalating dispute is linked to a post bricks at fishing agreement. paris is threatening sanctions if the u. k. doesn't grant more licenses to french fishermen. the british government says if those actions are implemented, it would put the you in breach of a trade agreement. ok, let's bringing poll brennan,
8:11 pm
who's lived for us in london. hello there, paul. what's the latest from the u. k. can while the latest is that the french ambassador had been summoned to the foreign office this afternoon in order to meet a relatively junior minister from the foreign office. when the morton not the foreign secretary, just one of the relatively junior ministers not meeting has not taken place in the brevity of it suggests that there is a rather tense atmosphere on both sides. she went in and catherine cannot colona sorry. the prince bassett, a just before 5 pm local time and came out just 20 minutes. i think somehow enough time to get you get your coach often and, and have a cup of tea. but the dispute itself is, well, it's now turning into a proper, full, on international incident. we have the boats, the scarlet boat, the british one that is empowered by the french earlier this week. the british now
8:12 pm
kind of tacitly admitting that actually it didn't have the proper paperwork to fish where it was fishing. the repairs have been some kind of clerical era within one of the british ministerial departments. and so now it appears that that both had dropped off the list of valid boats in march of this year and the french perfectly within their rights to impound it and, and take it out of the fishing grounds. nevertheless, the british are complaining that the french 0 tolerance and you know tough enforcements of those. those licensing rules is itself a kind of intimidation tactic by the french in itself. rich retaliating for the french's complaints, but they have not been granted enough licenses. they say to fish in the, in the waters around the u. k. channel islands. now, how this is all going to power, how they're going to take the heat out of this dispute? well, it's not quite clear that there is the threat of some kind of retaliation message methods from the british. the european commission we here has proposed some kind of talks between the french and the british. over this weekend,
8:13 pm
the french are threatening to bring in sort of a band on british ships landing fish in french ports as early as next tuesday. the british say that they would retaliate proportionately if that takes place. so there's a lot of to and fro and frankly, that needs to be give on both sides. if, if the heat is to be taken out of this dispute, there's no signs or yes, a lot of to and fro as an understatement. i thing thank you for the update poker and live for us in london. still ahead on al jazeera, the you suspends funding to the world health organization programs in the democratic republic of congo after essential abuse scandal. and we're wondering, forces help to push back in on the group and know than mozambique that question to being asked about, who's funding the operation?
8:14 pm

8:15 pm
but still some rain falling in durban. and you know, for the eastern cape winds, have been a factor as well over the past few days. but i think on saturday we'll see those winds back off just to touch. and they'll gust up to about 55 kilometers per hour. and now they are up to date season. ah, in the, with an abundance of results. byron juan indonesia, his big for me, we move to growth and front. we balance the green economy, blue economy, and the digital economy. with the new job creation law, indonesia is progressively ensuring the policy reform to create quality jobs. invest might be part of his growth and progress in indonesia. now.
8:16 pm
oh, a kind of what challenges there. i'm emily anglin, a reminder about top stories. this album, the u. s. and french presidents have held their 1st in person meetings and say countries most serious diplomatic, disputing years bought and acknowledge the handling of a race and security agreement with a strategy. and the u. k. was clumsy global projects being held in 26 countries to demonstrate against the use of fossil fuels. activist regretted tune berg has joined the march in london, demonstrators, marching between mega bank and the u. k. is threatening, greater checks on all a vessel fishing in its waters. if france goes ahead with
8:17 pm

8:19 pm
head off. the group started before dawn to avoid the south metzger peak. the only sound a little chatter and the children who can't take it anymore. and despite long lines of calls and taxes to the side of them, no one's going to give them a ride. the mexican government's plan this time round seems to be to let people have bought but only on foot. and they've set up checkpoints like this one really ahead of the caravan to make sure the cars boss's taxes aren't picking migrants up . and that way round the migrants in the caravan a quickly getting worn down and they're still a couple of months walked from mexico city, the caravans official stop in point 6 months at the current rate from the us, where many want to eventually get to the martinez family are already on the verge of giving up, but one thing stops them. and now we have nothing back home. we sold everything,

8:23 pm
e. u is withholding more than $24000000.00 for the u. n. organization. robert fleming felt is an investigative journalist who originally broke the story of the w . h o abuses. he says the organization must be held to account for what occurred. i think one of the most important things to emphasize at this point is the overall scale of the scandal. so between our 2 investigations for the new humanitarian and thomson reuters and this commission that was set up by w h o. we're now looking at more than 150 women who have gone on the record to say that they were abused, exploited in many cases, raped by responders working for the ball, the response. overwhelmingly. w h o employees. overwhelmingly foreigners working for w h o. and one of the more striking aspects of this was the fact that the abusers organized sort of rackets of abuse and indeed used the resources of the response to
8:24 pm
engage in their view. so as an example, in a number of instances, drivers were sent and marked w h o vehicles w h o drivers to pick up women to ferries, them to hotels, which doubled as offices for w h. so where those women were sexually exploited or abused in at least one case a w h o driver was sent in a marked vehicle to kidnap a minor was brought to one of these hotels and was raped by a w h o employee. the reality is that it is the case that you funds as well as world bank funds, u. s. government funds, u k funds. all the funds that went toward this response did indeed enable been sorts of responds these sorts of abuse rather on a massive scale. so it can be said that it is potentially a very small, helpful 1st measure to hold w h o to account for things that occurred in this country. and it's important that you put on the table that requirement that restitution be paid to victims of the
8:25 pm
sorts of abuse were wondering troops in northern mozambie give helped the government regain territory. taken by the group before the conflict has killed thousands of people and hundreds of thousands more have been displaced for one to says it's funding the military operation itself. but rights groups have questioned . this was a 0 is malcolm web has moved from pembroke. more than 700000 people have fled their homes in northern mozambique. in the last 4 years, an armed group called out, bob has attacked towns and villages. he says it wants to bring his lemon law to the province. is fighters of beheaded people and abducted others. the people who fled to this town told us they don't understand why what to do. i'm going to do going to you will wonder what you do running to the forest to check my children. so i don't know what happened to them. why they decided to take my kids. i don't know. it was

like the helmets wearing looks new. it's all in agreement with when the president of the 2 countries and the terms of that agreement aren't entirely clear. rwanda's president pooka gummy says, we wonder is simply helping an ally and funding the operation itself. we need friends and ending with this one is just making its own contribution but may be, can writes groups. wonder if for one that could even afford the cost, which included importing fleets of military vehicles and why it would pay. it is not part of the wouldn't governance of conflict goes emotion that it is not clear as to who is paying the bill off the mighty next, nor forces that the 2nd country, the fight divided by the news. many observers suspect france could be paying because of tow towels,

fossil fuel interests or the french president emanuel mccomb broke a deal. he met with the president of both mozambique and miranda earlier this year . when he visited veranda in may, my con promised 500000000 euros of development aid and spoke of helping regional responses, including in mozambique. but france has neither confirmed nor denied its funding. the rwandan troops on the ground. there also questions around whose funding the enemy, our ship, our aging rifles captured from them by the london forces don't suggest they have a lot of money. i feel as claimed responsibility for some of the attacks that local discontent with the government is more apparent than foreign connections. for many, it's not clear who is behind the forces fighting and the conflict. what is clear is that both local grievances and $20000000000.00 worth of natural gas lie in the middle of it. malcolm web al jazeera,
