rushes president accuses us and its allies of ignoring his country's security demands, including keeping ukraine out of nato. and the u. s. takes a step closer to vaccinating children as young as 6 months. again, scope 19. pfizer has asked strong regulators for the green light. ah guinea be south president has survived a coup attempt and says the situation is under control. president omero see so coin . barlow says the attack was aimed at killing him. the prime minister and cabinet members in a social media post him. barlow shared photos of himself sitting with members of the military. the president says some of those involved have been arrested all the images come hours after sustained gunfire around the presidential palace in

the capital be foul present in barlow says security forces were able to stop what he described as an attack against democracy by that many members of the security forces had died. he said the fail cool, could be linked to the drug trade. yes. to day we are facing an assault. i was in the middle of the council of ministers with all the members, including the prime minister. and we were attacked with very heavy weaponry for 5 hours, but now everything is under control. and one thing i can assure you there is no side that is a link to the school teams. it is an isolated force, but it is also linked to the people we force. when i was elected president of the republic, i promised to fight 2 things, corruption and drug trafficking. and this is also linked to this and i knew what the price was. but the fight continues. your. all the co attempt in guinea beside follows a string of successful military takeovers in africa over the past 18 months. in

miley anger over the government's failure to protect the people from armed groups vertical in august 2020. present the rainbow, because kato was arrested and resigned on sale television. 7 months later, the military ceased power in chad after the president was killed on the battlefield . his son was quickly installed as leader in breach of the constitution. in september, a soldier trained by the french foreign legion lead a call to depose guineas, president alpha condie a year after he won a disputed 3rd term. then in october, it was to don stern top generals to control appending the country's democratic transition, and prompting months of protests. and jest, last month, soldiers in brook, in a far so detained president, rock cavalry, another cool field by frustration, over a conflict with armed corpse. earlier i spoke to manny jose below, who was president and ceo of the africa international media group. and she says

it's too early to know what exactly happened in guinea be. so we had a situation like that, a seamless vision invoke in our vessel where after the 1st hour of her, oh no, the, the incumbent president, he should have communique saying that everything was under control at weeks a really not to weeks. so i, the difference is here that we so the president on tv, he could speak directly to people. so i would probably have some sort of control. and especially, i think one of the differences between the situation with him and book in a facile concent or even model, the coin mining is that he's a former, he's a former jim. so he, he has the, obviously, a strong dies within the armed forces. and unlike

a hope, mcawain was a civilian, and it was in a sofa and not trusting the army because they went to my to linked to the form of president compiling an avenue is british prime minister boys. johnson is fledging. more support for ukraine's army as he is of a possible russian invasion. grow. johnson who met ukraine's president in, keir says moscow is holding a gun to ukraine's head in an effort to change the architecture of european security. hold abdel, how me to report some care. it's not every day, a prime minister feels relieved to step into a crisis that has the potential of developing into war. but that may well be the way bar is johnson fields arriving here in cave, away from the park to gate scandal hoping to deflect attention at home. here the prime minister is facing what he called a grim reality. but he is

a welcome friend coming with you funding some $118000000.00 to fight corruption alongside on the countries. we are also preparing a package of sanctions and all the measures to be enacted. the moment the 1st russian po, cat crosses further into ukranian turret, d. u. k. has so far trade more than $22000.00 ukranian soldiers and donated more than $2500000.00 in defense. 8th. these are days of frantic diplomacy. it feels like give, has become the center of europe, does not one day that goes by without the high level visit money and weaponry out, also pouring in. but there's one crucial point that is still lacking. and that is a united front among nature, members of what you this image could only worry ukraine hungry,

prime minister victor, or been at the kremlin meeting russian president vladimir putin. the visit was about signing an energy deal, but the ukraine crisis took center stage. there too, or been, has ruled out any nato deployment to his country when you were around the same time in give president zelinski was meeting with the polish prime minister. gas was also on the agenda here, finding ways for ukraine to rely less on russia when it comes to energy supplies. the ukranian president would have also urge his visitors to turn down the rhetoric . feeling that the already fragile economy could go in a tailspin his message to ukrainians. this is not the time to panic yet, and the country is well prepared. the government has issued a map with more than 5000 shelters around key if the main ones being the soviet

bill. so boy stations, for now, life goes on as usual. again, she was the woman. i feel people worried in words, but not inaction. if you're talking about people leaving the city or stalking up on food or looking for bomb shelters, i don't think that's happening. i don't know anyone who's thinking like that. some ways what she like world leaders also doesn't know is how all this will end up the, this is not only about the sovereignty of ukraine, or it's right to one day become part of nato. it's also about drawing new lines, east and west, competing over the new security architecture of europe. ukrainians hope they will be left out in the cold weather that meet al jazeera, give. the russian president has said he hopes thompson. ukraine will avoid what he is labeled negative scenarios, including war battery and 14 went on to say the u. s. and the finalize have ignored

the criminal main concerns which include nato's stopping nature's expansion and keeping ukraine from joining the military lines, proofing it, but i'm going to put you in the thing that means that we are analyzing the response from the u. s. and i have already said that our concerns have not been addressed. we have not seen any guarantees that nato will move, its presence in our country also has a right to choose its own security. we cannot allow one country to increase the security at the expense of another country. below the senate republican minority leader, mitch mcconnell says the us should impose sanctions on russia even before it's true stride to invade ukraine. the ones that really could bring the russians to their knees related to the banking system. i know the president, according to what he said publicly, has been discussing the possibility of that happening with burden. but to go back to my initial statement,

i think what we ought to be doing right now before the invasion occurs, send the ukrainians weapons. they can fight with the current of virus panoramic now . and pfizer has asked us drug regulators for permission to offer a scope in 1900 vaccine to children, as young as 6 months old trials for the age who began in may last year. the push to vaccinate children has been driven by the only con variant if approved vaccination could begin by the end of the month. well, let's be to julie fisher about this. she's an associate research professor of microbiology and immunology at georgetown university medical center. and she's joining us, vice kind of, thank you very much for being with us. now studies have shown that kids are less likely to get seriously from covered 1900. right. so is this vaccine really necessary? well, well children have, have been shown to be at lower risk of developing severe disease than older adults

. so certainly they are still vulnerable to infection. and during the search of the oma con variant in the past month, in the u. s. rates of hospitalisation for the youngest children under 5 years of age surged and they were, they were 3 times higher than rates in older children who are eligible for vaccination while they're lower risk. it's certainly not, not negligible, right? but they have been mixed results and is found in the trials. 2 doses failed to produce the hoped immune response among children h $2.00 to $5.00. i understand why would the regulators encourage friday to apply for authorization at this stage? this is an unusual move. we have seen with older teens, with older children, teens and adults, the 3 doses of the pfizer vaccine produce a more robust immune response and better protection against the,

the variance of the, the stars current of virus than, than the original kudos regiments. so the, the, the assumption is that a 3 dose regimented children would also prove more effective. however, the federal regulators are pushing to go ahead and approve the 2 dose regimen, which is shown to be safe if not as effective as hoped in the anticipation that the trials will show that 3 doses provide more effective protection and to get a head start. so that kids can start getting those 1st 2 doses while the clinical trials of the 3rd dose are being completed. but have the clinical trials been big enough to reveal the side effects on younger children? i mean, babies are 6 months old. what could be the side effects that we know any of they are? the clinical trials are not on enormous numbers of kids. i think the sample is about 1700 kids. so they, the doses have been shown to be safe that they go something to them to,

to small children is much smaller than the adults. so it's about a 10th of the dose that adults and teams get the, the size of the clinical trial is very carefully constructed, to be able to look at potential side effects. and the, the data that was initially filed by 5 during that will be reviewed very carefully by the federal regulatory agencies with input from expert outside advisors is to, to look at that safety. and so far, the early reports are that the safety profiles very good. and that there will certainly be extraordinary scrutiny on that in the next few days. right. looking at the bigger picture right now, we have countries like denmark. now, removing all restrictions in the u. s. signed to send the discussing, the lowering of restrictions to free up hospitals space in anticipation for future very and so i mean, lots of things happening in different countries. where do you think,

where are you know, at the stage now? are we at the end of this pandemic should restrictions be lifted. now? are they going to be future varied? yeah, unfortunately, i don't think we're at the end of this pandemic. and until we can see widespread global vaccination, we are going to continue to face the risk that variance will emerge. i think where we are right now in the u. s. and in many countries around the world is finding that balance between recognizing when we are in a place that vital transmission at the community level in many communities, has decreased enough that we can start relaxing some of the protections. recognizing that when there are repeated searches, we may have to put them back into place and choose to do so with, with a clear eye on what our goals are. keeping hospitals clear enough that people can seek other critical care as well as received care for cobra. 19 when needed, but we have our tools, we have ex nation, we have masking, and we have

a better understanding of how to prevent transmission moving forward. thank you so much for talking to us. it was very good to hear you on this. julie fisher from georgetown university medical center joining us there from alexandria virginia. thank you for your time. thank you so much. still ahead on al jazeera is going concern about anti vaccine protests and who's organizing them. and we look at some of the proposals chili's assembly. we'll have to consider as it rewrites the competition. ah, ah, look forward to brita sky's with sponsored point cutaways. hey there, you're locked in to your weather update for asia. good to see you will begin in the subcontinent. were a poor air quality toward the northeast of pakistan. the northwest of india, new delhi has

welcome back. the headlines on al jazeera guinea, the south president, i survived a crew attempt in face. the situation is under control after nearly 5 hours of, of gunfire, prison. tomorrow's. his look in bottles says the attack was aimed at killing him. the prime minister and cabinet members, british prime minister boys johnston, is pledging more support for ukraine's army. his met, ukraine's president in kiev. johnson says moscow is trying to change the architecture of europe. security. meanwhile, russian president vladimir putin hopes talks on ukraine, will avoid waste labeled negative scenarios including war. putting says us and his allies have ignored the criminal main concerns, including keeping ukraine from joining nato. now the new z u. s. is calling for an emergency un security council meeting on thursday to discuss north korea's recent miss. i launch it comes after pyongyang confirmed it tested an intermediate range,

ballistic missile, which is capable of reaching the u. s. territory of guam sundays. tests was the north, his most powerful since 2017 and the 7th this year. now right wing political groups are becoming increasingly involved in protests against vaccine mandates. in many countries with some threatening violence against government leaders. the latest rallies have taken place in australia's capital camera. when he reports, ah, this protest took place in australia's capital cambridge outside the national press club. the message was that journalists are somehow involved in a conspiracy to spread misinformation about coven 19 vaccines, and government mandates. this is not just about the vaccine, that's their defense. but the way that they're actually trying to silence off anti vaccination movement to nothing new, but they were traditionally regarded as fringe organizations with concerns about

the safety of vaccines. cove at 19 has changed that and married the message. there are now a wide range of rally and cries at protests like wanting to win countries back from so called dictor tauriel, governments. they're a conspiracy theories and messages of hate violence and even anarchy far right groups and their political allies are seeing an opportunity to spread their messages and are increasingly showing up to and in some cases, organizing rallies. ha, ha, ha ha, they're, they want to vaccinate us by force. now they even want to vaccinate our children, who do not need such experimental vaccines. in canada, thousands led by truck drivers gathered in ottawa to protest vaccine mandates. some of the organizes a well known far right activists, including one who says the vaccine was created to de, populate the white race and another who spreads islam of phobia. prime minister

just and trudeau, who on monday announced he had tested positive the coven 19, says, protest is a being misled. the politicians, exploiting people's fears. i ask you to think long and hard about the consequences of your actions. most brutus around the world have been peaceful, attended by people who have genuine concerns about vaccines, but their message is increasingly being lost in a misinformation campaign being waged by others who have ulterior motives. wayne, hey, al jazeera, johnson and johnson and 3 of the largest drug distributors in the u. s. have agreed to pay $590000000.00 to native american tribes to settle claims if you will. the opioid epidemic. indigenous american communities have suffered high addiction and death rates from a use of the painkillers. under the terms of the settlement, the drug companies will not have to admit to any wrong doing. it follows

a $75000000.00 payout to the cherokee nation last year. large crowds have gathered in the argentine capital to demand an independent judiciary, the ruling perilous body. and several unions are accusing the supreme court of being biased against them. the protest comes as vice president, christina kish interfaces, several trials. she's accused of bribery, embezzlement, and money laundering. while serving as president kitchener denies any wrong doing. tuesday is the last day for chileans to vote on line on 7 propose articles for the country's new constitution is a novel system in which ordinary citizens are the ones who proposed initiatives. the proposals cover a range of issues from animal rights and environmental to universal health care. a latin america edison lucio newman. rec for some santiago, when the, when i was kristian up, yoletta is an animal rights lawyer who has an obvious bond with his pets. but his love and concern for animals goes much further. he's presented us citizens.

initiative to delegates were drafting chiles, new constitution. it's called, they aren't furniture and fallen one member of our golden boy, all over the world. animals are legally classified as movable property like furniture over which a person can have ownership or basic us, but we understand that animals are much more. there are beings with emotions that feel pain and pleasure. abdulla believes constitutional recognition, but would help promote laws from better protection of animals. when a creditor, chili's constitutional convention is committed to promoting citizens participation . and one way is to allow people to present initiatives online delegates would be obliged to consider and debate them if they obtain at least $15000.00 signatures. this is a time consuming exercise to say the least. there's everything from the constitutional right to acupuncture, the right to highways without paying tolls and to bar people found guilty of

corruption from holding public office. but only about 50 out of the $2500.00 proposals appear to have obtained enough signatures. the ones who made the cut include the right to abortion, to private property parents deciding over their children's education, an independent central bank, the defense of the environment, free and quality health care in education, and the animal rights measure that got nearly 20000 votes for his part architect, sebastian grade, but support for an initiative to guarantee decent housing for all. that means that a center, it's interesting that the proposals represent a kind of x ray of what chileans want. and obviously those proposals that are sufficiently serious and supported will not only be debated but possibly incorporated into the new constitution. the president of the convention causes unprecedented level murder. this is the 1st constitutional process of its kind and surely for us, it's clearly something very new. because unlike in some other countries,

chileans have never had the right to present legislative initiative. delegates have until july 4th to present the draft of the new constitution on which the hopes of millions of julians for a more inclusive society are writing to see and human al jazeera santiago and whistle blowers have an executive at these really tech for me. and i so who offered a us base mobile security company bags of cash for access to cell phone uses around the world that's according to re for dr. washington. both the complaint was made to the us justice department. the allegation dates back to a 2017 meeting between the firm and the us telecom company, and a so denies the claim. dozens of journalists send activists in el salvador, say military grade. spyware technology has been used to their phones as john home and reports from the capital san salvador government. critics say it's the

president's latest tactic to silent opposition. julio everett, these phones have been acting strangely. she re, lives the moment she realized for sure that it was bugged when i was writing. and i remember that i got the 1st email in but that mom and we were confirmed that they got it was targeting pegasus. the spying software only sold to governments with julio was one of 22 stuff. is that the new site or photo, who had the phones repeatedly infected? according to the university of toronto citizen lab for she says, many of the types came as a photo published expos a's on the government of el salvador, headed by president naive. bu kelly will. can they pull out of it during an attack? everything they can see, for example, what the message that you are typing or they can get access to your context a year. ah, images your videos. it's like to have enough unlocked cellphone in your hand. it's

the, it's the journey cell fodder went the only ones, other media outlets and civil rights figures would bug to says, citizen lab, including transparency, lawyer, halsy maldonado. i think this is also a sign of the times a sign of the government. this is a government which is intolerant to critics, is intolerant to public scrutiny, is in fuller and through accountability. and while there's still no, no hard evidence that the, the spine came from the government. everything seems to point to the doorsteps of a similar in government. it at which strongly denies the fund bugging. but there have been worrying signs that the president doesn't have democracy. the top of his agenda. say critics, starting from 2020. when he march soldiers into congress, a shock for a country which only escaped civil war 30 years ago. the president, in turn, is accused independent media outlets like hell, photo of lying and attacking his government. in 2020,

he announced the outlet was under investigation for money laundering. and el salvador, many people are on his side. his approval ratings are in the eighty's. he. i see though in the working class patio of sundry 3 color vasquez puts out that they still t as and tells us why. i think me though my i liked it helped more than the other government it for them. it was only in the campaign only then they remembered our neighborhood, look that with him. no, he hasn't forgotten us. he always remembers asked the poorest neighborhoods less dangerous. under bouquet has been cash to help them through the pandemic, even laptops for her boys to be able to keep studying. she dismisses the meteor extras, ace as fake news and montages. like many others, she believes the president just walking around this neighborhood san luis, 3. you understand why president bush kelly is so overwhelmingly popular with the majority of salvadorans,

his given the money has given them food has even given them computers for their children during the pandemic. and what all that means to them is that he, someone that's concerned about them, the poor salvadorans in a way. the other presidents haven't b, kelley promises these people, he will take care of them. they do the same for the countries, journalists, lawyers, activists. all those were critical of him in el salvador. that's the burning question. john homan, ow does it? the new york times purchase of popular web base game word all has sparked a backlash among the games fans. it was launch in october and quickly grew attracting millions of players. the newspaper says it will initially remain free, but users fear will be put behind the paperless pay wall where to create a josh wadell says he really got into the newspaper in his crossword during the pandemic which played a big part in word all since voracious 7 times of wall champion,

tom brady has announced his retiring from american football last week. brady is tampa bay buccaneers were eliminated in the playoffs. he posted on instagram earlier that he's no longer going to make a 100 percent. all in commitment. the 44 year old told several nfl records. he won 6 of his suitable titles with the new england patriots before spending the last 2 years of his career with the buccaneers. ah la again. i am fully battle with the headlines on al jazeera guinea besides president has survived a coup attempt and says the situation is under control. after nearly 5 hours of gunfire president tomorrow's his so coin, barlow says. the attack began while members of the government were meeting is to day we are facing an assault.
