almost 2 hours from the east room of the white house, given this was only his 2nd formal press conference. reporters had a lot of questions. okay. whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, hang on guys. his remarks included another warning to president vladimir putin. russia will face severe penalties if it chooses to invade ukraine, i guess, as she will then it's biden's most definitive statement yet on patton's intentions . but his comrades spark criticism when he suggested a lesser response. if russia launches a small scale invasion, if it invades, it depends on what it does. it's one thing if it's minor, corrosion, and then we end up having a fight about what to do and not to which cetera back for the white house to issue a clarification. saying any invasion will be met with a swift and severe response. kimberly how can al jazeera the white house?

we have 2 correspondents covering this story. this are in a moment. we'll get reaction from moscow with dosage battery 1st. so let's go to the cleaning capital key of an auto upto. i mean, or is it significant the mr. blinkin is talking about the potential problems, the in berlin in germany. he's not talking to the french, he's not spoken to even the brits well, i think it does underlying that when it comes to the way forward. ah, well, the e o do your peers and do you as don't see eye to eye on a range of topics for exam boat sanctions. there was, at certain point you as a mulling the idea of excluding russia from the swift, a banking payment which had basically not allow russia to send or receive any engine. oh, make any international transactions or well, the germans, for example, said, well, that would have an impact on the global financial system. and they're against,

that is also the issue about of, for example, a military support to provide to ukraine. germany, for example, doesn't want me to, to get involved at this stage is also refused. demila, a british military of flies to go over his aerospace why did while they were delivering to ukraine some military hardware. britain saying that is only for self defensive doesn't pose any threat to rush. and i think what anthony blinking mission in berlin. our 1st, when indecent transatlantic was meeting which includes france, germany, the u. k. and a u. s. is try to find some sort of common ground among them. that would be crucial really. for do you as, as anton binky will have is heading on a friday to geneva for a meeting with a very russian foreign minister, sergey love. rob. but there are certainly points between the 2 sides that as to not

very clear. and ukraine has also made it a clear that everybody has to be united, if there is some sort of deterrence that could be made against russia and for the nato allies. when we talk about unity, their holder is insignificant that mr. bite and kind of ease himself away. a little bit from the, the guard rail nato policy of a we're all on the same page and he seemed to differentiate between what was acceptable or what wasn't acceptable. in theory, if it's a partial incursion across the border, and ukraine by the russian forces, or a full land invasion, i think is certainly scaling back from what anthony blinkin has been saying. he was in care of yesterday, and he was herb being quite alarm as he was talking about pointing to the fact that some russian troops had moved toward lou ukraine's northern border. underbelly ruth

inside russia saying that that is actually just for a joint exercise as well. as any blinking was saying that it an invasion, a full scale invasion could happen at any time. mr. biden seems to be scaling back from that. and i think that is quite significant at europe. doesn't have an appetite to get involved beyond a certain point when it comes to dis, they certainly boots under ground letters from nato or from the u. s. is out of the question at this point and then you see that old of the military support does come into your grade, is really sort of coming on personal initiatives by each country. whether it's carol there, do you as or britain, those are the 3 word to moment here. so i think that is an idea and actually this is also the idea that you have here when you speak to people. the idea of this russian full scale invasion is something that even ukrainians are not believing at

this stage. and mr. by then scenes actually a bit more in tune at the moment, which what people hear underground are thinking what up. thank you so much of the of don't come either talking to us from kia live now to moscow. and of course, one of the door, so to borrow, so door so high that what are the russians saying about this meeting with mr. lovegrove? well they've said to are in the past 24 hours that it's extremely important to the russians. what is going to take place in geneva or on friday? and we've also been hearing from the foreign ministry spokesperson on thursday morning. she said that the meeting will be about discussing the possible future steps in continuing the negotiations about the security guarantees that this countries looking for in terms of what they've asked for from the u. s. a nato about nato's expansion. further eastwards, which is very much something this countries against, and they've said that they will do everything in their power to prevent ukraine

from joining nato. we've also been hearing from the kremlin spokesperson dmitri pascall, who has just been sneaking. and he also said that the written response that they want from the u. s. as should be coming in the coming days. they are hoping to get it soon. and even if it comes next week that is still acceptable to the russian government, but they will want that response sooner rather than later. he also commented about the idea of sanctions on russia and kicking this country out of the world banking sector with the swift program. that is something that the kremlin said is a very much a giving ukrainian leadership false hope. you have to remember that swift is something this country uses the international track monitor transfer system. but this country has been using their own version at which they use 20 percent of their transfers is done through their own version of their swift program. so they, in a way, the analysts here have told me that they believe this country is very much a rude bullet proof themselves against sanctions. so even if they do take place,

there are other venues that this country has set up to go around them. so it's not likely to take a huge hole, but it will be seen as the majors escalation for the russians. if the americans go ahead and impose any sanctions on this country, we've also today also got the iranian premier. mister roy, you see addressing the duma just take us through what he was saying. but he was highlighting the importance of red russia for iran. hey, it's his fate. first official state visit since becoming president, and ever him re c as been meeting with the russian president on wednesday, vladimir putin. they had a 3 hour meeting where they discussed expanding economic security and political ties. and they've also, according to iranian economy, minister, they've established a $5000000000.00 line of credit between the 2 countries. that is something that will, of course,

be very much welcome news back in toronto since the iranians are under severe us sanctions since the collapse or of the nuclear deal of 2015 and the u. s. imposing sanctions on them. the iranian president said that russia can be a much closer ally to iran, given that they are going through similar things with the west and the pressures that they are facing. and that iran stands behind russia in helping them get through this difficult time. the president will then move on to visit moscow university. and his foreign minister, or jose number of de la young is also due to me to the russian foreign minister surgery oliver of in the coming hours. and then the president's and his delegation will head back to toronto, wrapping up a 2 day visits here. door. so thank you so much. dosage about re they're talking to reply from the bureau in moscow. plenty more still to come here on the user for you, including a search on the sub consummate. we look at how both india and pakistan are taking different approaches to the rise and carina virus cases and hong kong hamster

you had people who are supposed to be monitoring those positive cases, telling them to isolate for 7 days and that there was no need to test after the isolation where many health experts will say that people are still testing positive for the virus after 7 days, and that shouldn't be ending the isolation until they test again. now what all of that has done is lead to that decrease in testing, which then led the indian government early this week to tell state to ramp up testing for the highest number of tests last week, which gives a more accurate picture of the number of cases in the country and health say they are concerned about the cupboard 19 brake and pakistan's largest that he karachi around 60 percent of new cases in the country are being recorded. the pakistan record is nearly 5 and a half 1000 new infections on weapons day and its highest daily tallies since august of last year, near restrictions being introduced on monday to control a 5th wave. come hider has this now from islam about bugger gone,

in place by lockdown and locking, going to city schools and making sure that the people are falling sophie's. and if the numbers rise definitely they will be more burden the hospitals and the system will do that with, with more, more patients in future budget on adults, one of their top performers when it comes to a bachelor again, go over 19, according to the economist normal index, however, this news trains spreading very foss under district health, which i had warned that people should not take this slightly. hong kong is suspending face to face teaching in secondary schools as of monday because of arise and corona virus infections in classrooms. the authorities have already stopped nursery and primary school classes and impose curfews on restaurants. jim's cinemas and beauty cell phones have also been shot. thousands of hamsters are suby cold, often outbreak of corona virus at a pet store in hong kong. other small mammals also face being destroyed. many pet

risk is there, but it just, it just doesn't happen. but health officials in hong kong are standing firm. they say the color is a necessary precaution to limit the spread of corona virus, florence louis al jazeera. now, many african countries are still lagging behind other regions when it comes to cupboard 19 vaccinations. zimbabwe government wants to change that and is ramping up efforts to increase the vaccine uptake. however, as her m a tasa reports from the capital, her rory hesitancy, and cultural differences are hampering the roll out. at 1st in by in java was in no hurry to get vaccinated until she got sick with clover 19. it's why the students only now receiving her 1st job like others and bobbins. the 21 year old believe the misinformation and conspiracy theories about

the vaccines. first, why is that when you get vaccinated rates you day earlier than expected? and the 2nd one is that why, but samuel did vaccinated you're initiated into such an isn't unlike most people are afraid of such on his own. so as life of rates and risk, there is a theory is very so dangerous. zimbabwe missed is december target vaccinating 60 percent of the 15000000 population just over a 3rd have been fully inoculated. health workers say the problem is in getting vaccine deliveries. china recently sent 10000000 doses and more on the way the challenge is convincing more people to accept them. oh, when to cooney is getting her booster. she believes the low vaccination res could have something to do with the perceived madness of the on the convent. most people don't know the benefits of being vaccinated, they just think it's, you know,

we can get sick and recover at home. so most people won't come in just because of that. to raise the total, the government made it compulsory for all its workers to get vaccinated. the bobbins can only get into bars, restaurants and places of worship if they are fully inoculated, despite that daily vaccination rights have been dropping. for some people here getting vaccinated could mean losing a day's wages. first, they have to wait in line for public transport. then they have to join another line to get vaccinated that could take hours, health issues and are looking at sitting a vaccination centers. advice stops another proposal to make it mandatory if it wasn't using public transport. to sell one of these a vaccination cod proving they've had a john. the world health organization is only 7 percent of africa's one and a quarter. and people awfully vaccinated. reasons vary from country to country. they include access to the vaccines logistics, his

a cincy and apathy. government leaders here say they're trying to educate everyone about getting vaccine protection. but i meg lasha when they seem to be a rush to get the jobs this time, only a few, some bobbins, a trickling in and hi, rejoices live now from aurora. hi there, harrow. so what's the latest on cobra to cross the white a region? well, it varies country to country. we told that so far, 8 countries are now in may. 5th way that 8 countries in africa, 40 of those countries have recorded the on return variant as being present in the country in terms of increasing the number of new infections. and did that's also very there seems to be a slight increase in the north african countries here in southern africa. the seems to be a slight decrease. the world health organization says compared to los yo way, it was harder for them to get back scenes on to the continent. they hoping this year more that themes will start rolling in. but there are, of course,

those challenges. one of them is that just takes nafrica when you leave the cities in the town, i go to the villages in remote areas. the road system is quite poor, so it's the tech days for vaccines to reach people. that's why when some countries are ne, vaccines to africa, they're about to expire by the time to recruit people who need them. those vaccines are of no use to anyone at all. and now the problem is vaccine delivery. some countries in the continent, i still struggling to access enough vaccines. the end it's allison, which is the all over the world. really, if i'm people who feel they don't need to be vaccinated, not you should force them to get vaccinated. and then they have hesitancy, a lot of people in some parts of the continent don't trust the vaccines. that's why many governments in africa trying to rad, pop education campaigns, try and get as many people as possible vaccinated. and harry compared to where we were at this time last year. what are african leaders going to do today this year? to make sure that more people across the continent get vaccinated

or african leaders in africa as in general, as they, they learned a lot from last away by the con, just only rely on a rich countries. and while wish is to give them donations, they have to be proactive for africa as president, florida watha says that african keep going to the ways to which countries with a begging bowl, begging for sprouts. if time africans did something to help themselves, that's why, ah, yes, the day on went in on wednesday, he opened a vaccine hub in cape town. the aim is that in the long run, africa will be able to produce its own vaccines. these vaccines be able to get to ethan county's lat cluster and maybe even a lot cheaper than what the candidate are currently buying them from. some of the waste then concrete at the moment. so there is a lot of that also going on. but i think the general feeling on the continent is that more does need to happen to get more africans to accept the vaccines asking

union hopes to vaccinate ally 70 percent of the continent. by the end of this year, are the countries are coming out saying yes, the also we're trying to or to try to make us that seems country like finagle the if interest on the continent to get more people vaccinate. the question is, can that be enough to make sure as many people as possible get fully jobs by the end of this year? ero, thank you so much. her him attached to that talking to was from her ari cultural venues in the netherlands, offering exercise classes and haircuts in protest against their continued closure. the country has eased a month, long locked on, allowing jim's hair addresses and shops to reopen, but museums and concert halls must stay shot, steadfastly explains from amsterdam, working out under the watchful eye of 17th century city guards painted by famous dutch master france halls. this museum turned itself into his sports, cool to protest against a government decision to re open chimps. here salons and shops,

cultural venues remain closed. it was amazing for some, it didn't have a lot of time to look at the actual paintings because it wasn't really a hard workout. but i've never done something like this before. so it was great. despite a current wave of golf, at 19 infections to museum says it's capable of re opening safely. that's museums coming back to life after weeks of yet and not a lock down. although this audience doesn't seem to have come here now for the dutch masters, your message is serious. also 2 years is really being marginalized as cultural institutions, we feel that we're being treated and the whole process of opening up and looking down which in the netherlands has been extreme. we feel that we are treated like 2nd rate citizens as if culture is not relevant that sports and consumption commercial sector is vital. the, the amsterdam concert hall itself into a hair salon, where people could enjoy classical music while getting a haircut. auto got a minute who are well admiring paintings off into

official warnings were handed down. the junior minister for call, she said she understands the protest that's opening up society. she says, we'll have to go step by step, step fast and al jazeera amsterdam low. so use the sport with still to come also covering these stories for you. in the name of god, god, senior government members turn on the u. k. prime minister boris johnson, we look at his prospects, old political surviving. and in that sport, he is one of the biggest stars matches his career best point scoring performance. and he see with that story in about 15 minutes, ah another winter storms in development. this time it's in northern europe around the baltic. really may not be obvious in the satellite picture. i sure could that curl

nation has been cut off since the disaster that destroyed homes and polluted water supplies. india has recorded its highest number of new corona, virus infections in 8 months, more than 317000 new cases were reported on thursday. cities across india have reintroduced restrictions to control the search. more than half the people in the u . k. now have an unfavorable opinion of the prime minister boris johnston. according to a new poll out to day, the murray pole shows 57 percent. i believe mister johnson is a bad prime minister that's up 6 percentage points on this time last week and follows for the revelations about parties at his official residence during lockdown . mister johnson is calling on every one to wait for the outcome of an inquiry into events at downing street. let's get more on this. joining us here on the news. our matthew paris, former conservative m p in the u. k. and now still a times newspaper columnist he joins us from london. matthew, great. have you here on the news? i boris johnson. is he?

is he political dead man walking? yes. yes, he may, he just may get through this or he may stagger on into the the new year, but he has been politically killed. he's a like a, a bird whose wing has, is broken. he's now that never going to fly again. and i suspect that they're coming for him, the party are coming to him and fairly soon so i would give you like 6040. if i was betting that that he won't be here in a months time or he won't be prime minister. there seems to be something of a disconnect though, matthew surely and it's this almost 6 out of 10 people in the country think he's doing a bad job. conservative home the website, they conducted a flash survey friday and saturday, 54 percent of the people who reply to that survey said they wanted him gone. the parliamentary party clearly has a big problem with him there on the front bench as prime minister. and yet,

we still don't know the how and the when and the, the back story immediately to who will try to deal that killer block. well, that's partly that because it's very easy to, to mon and grumble and say, i can't bear the prime minister. he should resign. there's no, there's no way we can carry on like this, easy, easy to, to talk. but then you have to do something. if you want to remove the leader of your party. and the mechanism for doing so is quite clear in the conservative party that they can call for a motion a vote of no confidence in the leader of the party. and it's within their power to do that the it will happen if at least 50 for conservative members of parliament, right to the chairman of their committee and say that they want this. we think that there are more than 54 people who want to do this,

but they don't want to trigger it quite yet because everybody is waiting for a report by as a civil certain called su gray into what has been going on with all these parties and they prime minister as cons, caught conte constantly. when asked said wait for the report, wait for the report. so i think they are now waiting for the report. we shall have the report within a week or 2. i would say. and if the report is critical of the prime minister, it may well be that's when the no confidence motion will be triggered and he would probably lose it. and even if he didn't lose it to have had a vote, motion of no confidence in you as, as leader of your party and his prime minister would be pretty fatal to his political prospects out of thought. can i just run past you to get your thoughts on something that just literally dropped on the reuters news agency at matthew unofficial investigating dining street parties has found an e mail from a senior official to boris johnson's private secretary. warning that that party

should not go ahead. i understand sir grey has found the email from a senior official to the pm's principal private secretary martin reynolds wanting him. the party should not go ahead the according to one of your journalistic colleagues in the u. k. so it's not the smoking gun, but it's kind of hot and looks a bit combustible. at the moment. yes, this is down. a significant piece of news i. i hadn't heard it. you, but you've told me about this. he. the problem has been that the prime minister said he knew nothing about the party before the party went on and, and he just walked out thinking it was a work thing and, and, and, and stayed there. and, and he admits that he shouldn't have his former top political advisor, dominic cummings has said that he personally warned the prime minister that this party was not going to be a good idea and that other people have to. so the news you've just given may suggest that they don't do now know that other people have warned the prime

minister's private secretary. presumably he would have discussed it with his boss, but he, we don't know that he discussed it with his boss. so the prominence is insistence that he didn't know about the party may, may still stand just to get your closing thoughts on one other aspect of this, matthew, would it be significant? if the tories do get rid of him quite quickly and as much as going back to your former boss, maggie thatcher, she was got rid of because a policy, sometimes, tory leaders or got rid of because a policy other prime ministers, john major, debbie cameron there got rid of or they resign because they lose an election. so they get rid of their prime ministers slash conservative party leaders because of what they've done or policy. but with boris johnson, they'll be getting rid of him because of who he is. i mean, let's be clear, he's a convicted lawyer. he has been sacked twice from 2 jobs for telling bare faced poor he pies. will you put this very clearly?

it's, it's completely unusual to remove a prime minister because of doubts about his character. as you say, it's usually about politics, it's about the news, but this time the news is the prime minister's character and that carrying time now, having been so thoroughly discredited, i don't think he stands very much over very much of a chance, but, but it is unusual and i love a lot of our viewers will be thinking, you have a whistle this about a party. ok? they should have had a party. but do you bring donna an entire prime minister because of this? that the truth is, this isn't about parties. it's about the character of the prime minister. it's about his moral property, and it's about a collapse in confidence on the part of his own political party in his own trustworthiness. matthew paris times columnist and formerly a conservative m p. thank you so much, matthew. good torture, azure ah, from the ongoing tensions with russia and china to the taliban takeover in

iran nuclear deal. but even close allies, believe he wasted precious time getting us back to talks, which didn't start in vienna until april. but it was the momentous events in august and afghanistan, that of course, the most tension between the u. s. and it's nato and e u allies. they feel that we're not properly consulted about the u. s. plans. withdrawal forces after doing a deal with the taliban. and they believed that withdrawal was seriously bungled. relations with others, superpowers have not improved in biden's 1st year. an attempt to bridge differences with china, a meeting in alaska, attended by the us national security adviser, the secretary of state. and the 2 chinese counterparts descended into a very public confrontation. and there's been no breakthrough and talks with russia to try and diffuse tensions of ukraine. the administration's most experienced negotiate a wendy sherman led those discussions in geneva last week with another round with

the us secretary of state and russian foreign minister expected on friday. u. s. allies acknowledge a distinct change from the trump presidency. the biden administration is trying to communicate and cooperate more, but they say the response to major events has been slow and stilted. sometimes there have been missteps. one western politician told me we were hoping for return to the obama era. instead, we seem to have got the obama b team. james bays al jazeera, the united nations. let's talk to my one, be shara, he's our senior political analyst. he joins us from the mom and welcome back to the news. so the fingerprint on foreign policy was supposed to be touchy feely fighting the little guy, respecting human rights. has this administration done that in these 1st 12 months? well, the record shows that it has not,

and most issues are the by then and ministration has over promised than under delivered it. it didn't or sort of talk the talk that we've heard from obama over his 8 year tenure. but when it came to policy in this so called a foreign policy of the middle class and not to be just as nationalistic as sort of perfectionist as that of uh, president trump, i think by then continued a more of the same men, terms of appeasing dictators. and various parts of the world, especially those at united states, need sir for various jobs. and when it came to putting human rights and democracy at the center of foreign policy, that certainly failed miserably at only democracy is not at the center foreign policy. not even at the center of domestic policy in the united states where you're not that democratic model as it where it is really falling short as it's not even worthy of emulating anywhere. invest of the wall at this point in time. so

generally speaking, you could say that although present biden was, in fact dealt bad cards. he had to play, it was cards and certainly fell short. that's why you would expect him in some ways to lower the bets and cut his losses. and when you talk about the losses potentially there, i mean let's talk about specifics here for a 2nd. let's talk about ukraine and what's going on in easton, ukraine. you get the sense looking at the u. s. feeding itself into those nato talks. it with the, the russians out of the kremlin in moscow that it's almost as if the us delegation haven't ever done this before in as much as they don't seem to comprehend that mister putin is a master of ambiguity. you can never 2nd guess what he's going to do. so when he does something, there's that sense of, oh, we didn't see that coming,

but you feel like saying to them, guys, you should have seen this coming cuz you're dealing with the kremlin. you're dealing with mr. putins kremlin. well, i mean, look, we've seen it before, right? in 2014 when, when, when, when he did something similar and ukraine, the, the obama administration of time in our half times aft and a dinner. they impose sanctions, but russia maintained its control. in that part of your brain, and my think we're seeing something similar from the by the an assertion today where there's lot of huffing and puffing. but clearly a put us on by the understands, as he said yesterday, that probably which in his going to move or you know, and some part of you could in some way or form. and the united states has no other option but to impose sanctions. but yet again, and i think that's what's important here, peter, is that a diplomacy is simply a mirror image of that, you know, the, the, the balance of power or, or that the capacity of deterrence. and when the why did administration is so

preoccupied domestically and it's alienated european allies, we just heard yesterday from the french president that europe needs to do its own dialogue with washington that with moscow over your face. when the by 9 miss written alienates, are the europeans mix enemies out of the chinese. and at the same time, want to take over the russians. you know that they are in the minority after the humiliation of guns then after the debacles of iraq with what's going on inside the united states. and, you know, with all of that, and still obama wants to take over, was china and russia at the same time. it's not going to work very briefly mowing because we are almost out of time explain for me if, if we can the singular unpopularity of common harris. she, she got there on, on this blaze of publicity. she was supposed to be his diplomatic wing woman. um, nobody, no reputable opinion poll in the last 12 months,

says that she's bleeping any place on any radar with anyone as doing a good job. what's going wrong there? hello, come in. she clearly was the accidental vice president, right. i mean, she was at, she was a chosen because she's among others, a sick, you know, as successful former prosecutor, a senator, a woman and a woman of color. so according to the polls that would have worked for job i then i they collected that now at the time i was also miss moore. i so i read her book. right. i did her memoirs, and i told you is there are so unremarkable, even for someone who would use shadow writers and you know, researchers on so forth. hem korea was really just unremarkable. and her views of the world, her views an america and it's all in the world, are an impressive so, you know, the woman might be an a personal love. oh, interesting. and, and wonderful. and, and you know, and humorous and so on. but when it comes to that sort of states,

men or states woman type at wake, she is definitely proved to be lacking in that department. mom on thank you very much, my michelle. they're talking to us from doha. get jane scientists of discovering a rear coral reef off the coast of tahiti. despite global warming, the stretch of c and the south pacific has kept his underwater. biodiversity thriving leah. harding picks up the story. an underwater garden bursting with color. scientists call this coral bed. the field of roses stretching nearly 3 kilometers off the coast of tahiti. it's one of the largest of its kind believe the all the other guys is well. so now we will do our 1st. i have along the reef of roses to see how deep they go. we're going to an unexplored world to explore the unexplored. it's quite motivating and exhilarating. coral reefs like this are hard to find anything below 30 meters is called the twilight zone. an area

low and oxygen and difficult to reach. but rare living walls like this. keep dry and scientists down other famous coral, like the great barrier reef off australia, have been bleached by harmful human waste and rising c, temperatures. the marine life around them is suffering and disappearing too. but scientists are surprised by the condition of this particular garden seeming the unaffected by pollution. it's christine, looking awfully good. i think he has managed to dodge the bullet, but you know, the question is, how long is it going to be before we get an event? that's that deep in that location and it suffers the same page until then. this underwater labyrinth is blooming with hope. leah harding al

jazeera. ok, let's talk to jillian, bobby. he's had to marine policy and regional coordination for unesco. he choices from paris, julian, welcome to the news, or what is it that's unique about this particular area that it's managed to avoid being impacted by all the negatives that we are making and putting into our oceans? well, i mean, 1st of all, i think it's a, it's a great positive story about this data lock. or if you know, we've, we've heard in the last year only that, you know, students in 1950. we've lost about 50 persons, of our coal, refer cover globally. so finding a restructure which is so extensive at the depth, which we don't usually find or expect to find this kind of structure quite amazing . the fact that indeed as your your, your reporter said that you know, the reason they're very good in healthy conditions. it's been able to dodge the impact of climate change of pollution and over fishing, job men,

chorus cures. but it also opens up the fact that, you know, maybe we're not looking the right place to, to find some of those risks. and we have very little abortion which is actually mapped in high resolution. we only have 20 persons of oceans. he draw globally, which has been mapped when you think that this information is when you the basis for ocean management, for what they've seen by the diversity that tells us that we need to invest much more in the science in finding out where does it go? systems might be where we're certainly looking for them, but also we need to make sure that they are well conserved in the future. that's an astonishing statistic that we've only maps 20 percent of our ocean. so that means we mapped more of the surface of the moon than we have the waterways on our own planet. but very briefly, because we are running out of time what, what's the lesson that we can take away from this and what can we learn from it? well, i think we can certainly learn that we need to study those race. and even though karissa probably will, but one of the most did it, it co system various

a lot of things. we still don't know where and i think coming up with a understanding what type of by the risks tea leaves and all those core rates will be very important. we anticipate that we are still many, many species that can be found in the for those systems, whether in terms of providing potential new cure, new medicines. i think if we need to invest much more in finding out where they are and protecting them prove from interest. and this is what your score is trying to do with. well, martin's heritage sides and bias to reserves. so that countries of a tool to, to protect and sustainable because systems in the long term and for future generation. ok, thank you so much for joining us here on the news actually. and bobby, they're talking to us from paris as promised time for the spot with andy. thank you so much. pedro quarter, much unfolding in the australian open were well, number 2, daniel, my bill is inaction. the us open at champion amy to knock out hung play at nick curios in melbourne. well, the russian did type the thing to set in
