i read the explosion inspire i still don't feel like i actually know enough about what living under fascism was life, unequal to broadcasting. some nelson have been on august night for al jazeera english proud recipient of the new york festivals broadcaster of the year award for the 5th year running. ah, g 7 foreign ministers getting to work in liverpool, where they are expected to discuss tensions in ukraine and the corona virus pandemic. ah, and come out santa maria here and joe hall with the world news from al jazeera. i have no official state and have had no general election in 15 years,

but the occupied westbank floating at a local level. the saturday is a push from more inclusivity, also in economic lifeline reopened. as the u. s. allows family members to st desperately needed cash back to afghanistan. a new gun laws, an indian administered kashmir. they are threatening the tradition of handcrafted firearms. ah, so foreign minister from the wells wealthiest democracies of gathered in liverpool in the u. k. delegates from the g 7 also being joined by ministers from i see on nations. they're expected to discuss a whole lot of issues. cove, 19, of course, vaccines pandemic recovery, build up of russian forces on ukraine's border as well. where we challenz is there for us in liverpool doesn't seem that long ago. she worried there was the g 7 heads of state making in the u. k. this time, foreign ministers yes. so the u. k is the host of the

g 7 this year. and this is the 2nd event of foreign ministers this year. and as you say, there is also being the leaders event in the summer. so this is kind of drawing the case hosting of the g 7 to, to close. that there will be many topics of conversation that these foreign ministers are going to be going over. it of course is one of them is the new varian omicron, spreading around the world, particularly. so in the united kingdom, this event is very much a masks on one, but they will also be talking about the perceived threats of russia and china with the build up of forces. russian forces near the friday and border. there is still a fear amongst g 7 countries that that might be some kind of military action against ukraine and speaking recently lives, trust the case for a secretary said that we want to deter russia from taking that course of action. we want to make it clear that such a move would be a she puts it a strategic mistake that also be talking about other crises around the world,

ongoing crises and be and mom and. and she says, let's trust that she hopes that the g 7 lead is forum and it says, what can unify, to persuade iran to come back to negotiating table about nuclear weapons and rejoined the j. c. p. o, a nuclear deal. let's try the u. k. foreign minister, he mentioned there hasn't been on the job terribly long if i'm not mistaken. she was talking recently about where she think the so call free world has gone wrong, which is a pretty big thought to have take us through that. yeah . so she, she has this view that essentially, since the end of the cold war, there's been a period of drift in as cheap as the after the free world. and these countries are taken there off the ball. they spend too much time introspective about the guilt of the past, imperialism, etc. and that they've been adopting bad practices and bad ideas. bad ideas,

being too much relativism. postmodernism the, the kind of assumption that there is no such thing as object to objective truth. bad policies be well reducing military spending defense spending and an over reliance on russian gas and chinese development finance. she wants to offer a kind of rallying cry for the free. well, the she puts it. it's interesting to think about what her audience intended audience might be for that. or is it the, the foreign minister she's meeting today, or is it perhaps people in her own party given that there is a leadership crisis in the conservative party? the bar is johnson not doing very well. some people are throwing arise at least trust as a perhaps a future leader of the conservative party, perhaps the future prime minister. and therefore her audience for that might be a bit more domestic. and that's where we challenge that. the g 7 foreign ministers meeting in liverpool. thank you very onto the news in local elections have begun in

the occupied west bank with around 400000 palestinians eligible to vote. the 1st poles in 2 years. but the leaders of sutter and hamas remain at odds. over when to hold the next general election, the last one was 15 years ago and will be live with needed abraham in the occupied west bank shortly. first, look at what the local polls might tell us about the big political picture in palestine. these women are running for the local council and our cedar shamaya village in the north of the occupied westbank, the visiting potential voters to campaigned for the electoral list. more than 6000 voters in the village are eligible to choose 11 council members. 20 percent of local council seats half to include women by law while, while women here are active in the campaign, photos of them were missing from the campaign. posters. in many villages, faces of women were replaced by pictures of flowers or other graphics because of

conservative views. if he mill activists in the village has, she's pushing for a better representation of women and politics. in odyssey, we like a political will to advance women's rights. we are not there just to fill the female quotas high. we need laws that ensure that women are not being ignored. the walk local councils are responsible for basic services such as water, electricity, and infrastructure. they don't pass legislations or deal with national politics. local elections could improve day to day issues for palestinians, but many say they want a general election to choose their political leaders. it's been 15 years since palestinians voted for parliament because of political in fighting. 6 months ago the palestinian president mahmoud abbas again postponed a general election and didn't set a new date. the alarm of you robin, there are no indications that we are getting any closer to holding any parliamentary or presidential elections of him. and now it's really important to

hold the elections to change the reality on the ground and to improve the economic situation. burnett. her math has boycotted the local elections because the movement wants long delayed general and presidential elections. but some of its supporters are running for municipal office, while others planned to vote. the ruling party, the west bank for already has wide support in these local elections. will lead to dead who is the head of pulls that the palestinian center for policy and survey research. he conducted the pool in some of the villages where elections are being held ill by lay her barbara. people usually choose their candidates based on familial relations and not political affiliations. also into math is not running. we can't measure the popularity of political factions based on those elections. half of the 1800 people pulled describe the status of democracy in the west bank as bad or very bad as promise me day of him now in service and will near ramallah in the occupied west bank. it strikes me from this misty report that there

are 400000 people who could potentially vote today, but this isn't the election. they want to vote. and many palestinians say that they want general elections where they can vote for the political leaders. because as you know, these local council do not pass legislation are treated with national politics so low that there's a lot of obstacles that are related to politics. for example, there are many places where they can be a permanent to build because there are is really illegal is really supplements there is these really occupation controlling the resources, the water, the land and you name it. so per palestinians. many of them say that they want politically, there's the challenge, israel. many don't believe that the current leadership is doing enough to come back to radio occupation and better the conditions, the live conditions for palestinians when it comes to politics, when it comes to economics. but having said that, there are, believe the statistics that we've got from the elections committee. it say that

until an hour ago, 11 percent of hausteen's at for dissipated, or 11 percent of those who have the right to vote today have already cast their votes for these local elections that usually and mostly depend on family ties and relative relations rather than politics. it a very me reporting from the occupied west bank on the side that i think you need now the world's leading nuclear inspector has told on severe iran needs to grow more access to its atomic facilities. if it hopes to establish international trust, latest round of talks to revive the 2015 nuclear deal with world power continuing in vienna. but the head of the international atomic energy agency is said surveillance cameras need to be reinstalled and that iran is need to be more transparent about what they're doing. the ages he and iran are trying to come to an

agreement on or basically 2 things. one is the capability or the ability of the agency to return to one facility, one specific facility in iran, where we need to reinstall cameras that need to be there. and it has been difficult to do this. so we have been talking about these and the other thing is how to address a number of issues which need to be clarified. the agency found traces of nuclear material in places that had not been declared before the full interview with the i. e. i chief refill grossi dosage of our speaking to him. that is on talked about 0830 g m t on sunday. people in the u. s. can now send money to family members in afghanistan and both financial institutions controlled by the taliban and how county network. both those groups are otherwise subject to us. sanctions. this money there was

a lifeline for many afghans with global remittances making up 4 percent of gdp last year. it comes with the world bank says donors of agreed to transfer $280000000.00 to unicef and the world food program to provide nutrition and health services. the you, in his warning, nearly 9000000 afghans are facing famine this winter more from rosalyn. jordan in washington, d. c. the fact that some 9000000 people are facing the prospect of famine, which is of the most serious level in a country that is suffering from food insecurity, is very much the impetus. but this decision by the us treasury department, is a very narrowly crafted decision. people here in the united states can send money to individuals in afghanistan. and they can do so through us banks, which then may be engaging with financial institutions controlled by the taliban,

or the ha connie network for the express purpose of putting that cache in the hands of individuals inside afghanistan. the money can't be used for ra, nonprofit organizations, humanitarian a, our charity, a groups, for example. it also cannot be used to give to people who were trying to set up businesses. this is strictly to give people the ability to buy food and medicine to acquire of fuel to heat their homes. as winter is closing in, in afghanistan. i some thoughts and i had shot my he b who is the founder of rise to piece a piece building policy organization. he's also a former us counter terrorism advisor for a dentist on says it's still a lot more work for the taliban to do before it's recognized by the united states. there are options in terms of the us as discussing and i think from our realistic perspective we're looking into the us,

his interest at the end and the actions that a tall and not the fund towards. but it's a hard decision. i think kind of the pulling out of an honest on it was a big decision to make for buying ministration the same way. recognizing the taller one. i don't think it's going to happen to us soon if it, if it did that, think it's going to take a whole, international or collateral will take different nations than original efforts. but the tall one has to 1st deliberate actions that catalyze little quieter. and they're not going to use an honest on to attack the u. s. soils and allies. i think that is the 1st question that needs to be 1st resolved in order for us to make a decision. but we're talking about millions of africans or uncertain about the future of their country and do ask ones who are, who are able to exit. i've honest on your little path, limbo, do or just for example, we had interviewed one african family that it did well. i was able to get out of

honest on but how can i help my family at this situation? i think this general license 16, this exact, that a florida will allow that person to wire money to his family who are in a washed on right now under this protection to check the world whether next and then a joint operation with uganda and troops to some unease among locals in democratic republic of congo. ah hey, there your world's weather report begins in australia and truthfully told not a whole lot going on though there is one thing i wanted to put on your radar. this disturbance near the solomon sea could become a tropical cyclone as it starts to drift further toward the south. otherwise settled conditions across australia, we've got some high heats in adelaide at 35 degrees, but those temperatures will come crashing down the wind direction shift. so we're
