a pottery on old 0 i'm like a vase in the south of india to find out how tiny bass in this cave brought an extensive mining operation to a scan. corona virus help swept across the world with devastating effect, and it's widely believed to be connected to the legal wildlife trade. here in vietnam, we visit a rescue center for some of the world's most threatened animals and joined the call for an end to the global wildlife cherry earth right on al jazeera mm. holding the powerful to account. as we examined, the u. s. is role in the world on al jazeera. ah

the us president calls for full accountability over the killing of al jazeera, sitting in a block lay as he meet the palestinian leader. ah, you're watching al jazeera life from headquarters in delphi, and also coming up, sir lincoln was acting president, pledges to restore order after months of protest, forced its predecessors to flee over 19 locked down, cause china's economy to splunk. fanning fears of global recession and donations for drones. we look at the role crowdfunding is playing and ukraine's more effort. ah, hello, so president joe biden says the u. s. will continue to call for full accountability in the killing of al jazeera city and broccoli biden was speaking at

a press conference with his palestinian counterpart with our bus in bethlehem. the al jazeera correspondence was shot in the head by is really forces in may, while reporting on raids in the occupied was think it's hard wrenching. and so many power studies really have lost their lives just this year. in the united states to suffer loss as well, including the killing of charade. bu ok. kaylee. and she was an american american citizen and a proud palestinian. and she was performing very vital work and an independent media and vital work of democracy. her death is enormous loss to the essential work of sharing with the world, the story, the palestinian people. i hope that her legacy her legacy aspired more young people to carry on her work and reporting the truth and telling stories that are too often overlooked. united states will continue to insist on

a full and transparent accounting of her death and will continue to stand up for media freedom everywhere in the world. or earlier, joe biden was at the augusta victoria hospital and occupied east jerusalem. there he pledged an additional $100000000.00 to support palestinian health care services . as he wrapped up there, he had an exchange with one of the hospital staff who asked for a dignity for palestinians. but he is in bethlehem and spoke to the nurse. can you tell us why did you ask that question when he specifically said i. 1 want you to talk about hospitals because i was more heavy from his richie poke about money. he talked about to humanity business. as i knew in my cousins was retail, i saw the suffering of their notes, his doctors, the patient babies. and the company who came from gaza, they thought about to humanity, but in reality,

i couldn't see it. so many doesn't solve your problem. what do you want? are you want justice? i won't fear. they're very c d, n b boys to their beliefs. tina and children to the doctor to the near me actually it came from bates a hold that i am from with bank every day i face difficulties in that chick boy. and that many times the ambulance brained their kids to my unit without combining without beatrice and they have to change the ambulance from plate yellow toy from blue to yellow. and they didn't talk about this. they did the humanistic, but i could, i couldn't see it. thank you so much to san a year, but she is the hospital nurse. we've heard from talking to president vi then earlier today and occupy these jerusalem. and as you hear many palestinians say that we're not looking for handouts, we're not looking for financial intensive. we're looking for an end to the israeli

occupation and it's measures and violations are joining me here. and or how headquarters is our white house correspondent? kimberly how can so of course, kimberly the president has now moved on to saudi arabia. we expect them to land in just about half an hour or so, but looking back at what he actually accomplished in israel and the occupied territories, what was his objective to begin with? and did he manage to succeed? well, the u. s. president will say that his objective was to work with the israelis to essentially improved the ties with said their arab neighbors. and so to that end, the president will make the argument that that trip has been somewhat successful. he also made the announcement that there will now be the opening of saudi air space for the israelis to fly. and so that this is also a significant achievement. add to that the president asked. he's in the air right now is making an historic flight. the 1st you as president to fly from ben gory,

an airport tel aviv to jetta. so the u. s. president will himself try to make claims that this has been a very successful trip that he himself believes in re asserted the relationship between the united states and israel. this is one that the united states has firmly back to israel as a strategic ally for many decades. but what so notable in all of this is what is absent from the trip and that is that unlike other presidents, what we didn't see is there any sort of effort to reinvigorate the piece process that has been stalled? since donald trump, his predecessor, so bad, has carried on, and in fact we heard from the u. s. president joe biden, that really just an excuse saying now is not the time. well, he did is, is state that he is committed to a 2 state solution. he said that it's not possible in the near term,

although he does believe that he has laid the groundwork so certainly from the standpoint of the palestinians, even though he did make a short visit and meet with the president of the palestinian authority mahmoud abbas. it was considerably shorter in terms of that meeting, in contrast to meeting with israeli officials. okay, thank you so much. kimberly hawkins for that reporting from the howell. joining us here is al jazeera senior political analyst, matawan bichon. am i wrong on that point? that's a kimberly made. so the u. s. president did spend about a day and a half with the israelis and who spent about an hour with the palestinian president . talk to us about what the israelis and palestinians got from this visit. these rate has got a lot of concrete support these. busy got a lot of better seniors got a lot of words. the policy has got some nice words. i think present biden's a sweet talker is what is free talk these raise his sweet talk to the finance

but is i continues to occupy palestine and i think it was difficult for president by then to sweet talk. busy apart paid because that's the situation we are left with. he comes, he goes, but apart, paid stays, and sweet talking apart ages basically impossible. so i think in the end of the day present the bus is happy to have a photo op with the american president. i think the, the, the entered on prime minister is right, is also happy to be, to have this quote off with the american president because it helps them both domestically. i think it helps more of these really than the person in well, what happens next is that president biden is now heading to jetta on the 1st ever direct flight by an american leader from israel to saudi arabia. so when he arrives top of the agenda would be getting saudi arabia to pump more oil to bring down global prices bite and is also expected to discuss iran and efforts to prevent her

on from acquiring nuclear weapons. tor poured off a wider drive for greater security cooperation. biden is expected to make the pitch to regional leaders at a gulf corporation council meeting engender on saturday. let's bring in kimberly hock at once again to discuss this part of his trip as he arrives in saudi arabia on just a short while, as we're saying, how important is it for biting to come back to the u. s. and come back home with, with sort of quick wins from this trip. kimberly, what's he looking to do? well, hey, it's important for him to come back with a quick win. whether or not he will is an entirely different matter and it's very possible he won't. what the president is looking to do and what's driving this trip, is he's looking for the saudi kingdom to pump more oil to increase supply and bring down oil prices in turn, bring down the cost of fuel in the united states because it is sky high in the united states right now record highs and that is driving inflation in the united

states. ed to a record high again of the highest we've seen in about 41 years, and that's making americans pretty unhappy not just in general, but with the u. s. president as well, so that is something that the president is trying to accomplish. but add to that the u. s. president is also trying to do something else. and that is work with saudi arabia with regard to security because there is one thing that both saudi arabia, israel and the united states share in common when it is comes to security concerns . and that is about the strengthening and the dominance of iran in the region. and so there will be discussions about that as well, namely the saudis are looking to joe biden to see what he has in terms of a plan b, because the plan a which was to, oh, essentially revive the j. c p. away or the 2015 agreement to limit iran's nuclear

program, which of course, donald trump pulled the united states out of joe biden, has sought to revive it. things have not been going so well. in fact, many of the parties have said, maybe this isn't the right deal after all. so they're looking for a new sort of plan or at least a suggestion. and so this is something that's going to be discussed. so there are a couple of things that are big on the agenda, basically energy and security, at least according to the white house. i so there tall orders, whether or not that can be done quickly. it's a big challenge for the u. s. president. ok, kimberly, thank you. let's put this to my to on. so can they be done quickly, matawan, and what are you going to be looking out for? i'm seeing bite in saudi arabia. i think he's going to be aiming to do 2 things. one help israel integrate in the region which means. busy closer relationship with saudi arabia and he's going to help and he's gonna try to enlist. so the support

in his, her offensive against russia because of its warden ukraine. i think what's puzzling, what's amazing in all of that are doing it. what sputnik is the fact that 50 years after biden 1st came to the region, the city headlines remain the same. israel. busy oil, cold war and possibly to worse russia is the same, think 50 years later. so what does it say about the american foreign policy since he was a junior senator through now he's being a president. that was still faced with the same titles in 1973. it was israel's war with egypt. now it's israel's confrontation with the one back then. so the ravia hiked the oil prices because at the back of the war, now there's a hike of oil prices because of again, the cold war. so really, basically, it's more or less the same dossiers coming again and again with american policy

basically staying morris the same. in fact, biden says, and his lieutenants in charge of foreign policy have said that we need to return to basics. these are the basics of 1973. israel orland called war moraine and it's really sad. it's almost feels like instead of evolving, we are evolving back then. the region was in the midst of conflict, them war and so, so forth. but you know, for our viewers around the world, imagine 50 years after those 3 headlines, israel, or than the cold war that to day, the middle east, which makes up 5 percent of the world population, is the m field for 35 percent of the walls violent conflict, why should this ill fated region called them at least, where america exercise its influence waste the backdrop for america's influence be

the center stage of so many violent conflicts? isn't that a destiny to a failure of the policy? what i hope now that mr. or president biden is going to saudi arabia that he revives, not military alliances, but the vice diplomacy encourages. so would you read that to continue with its dialogue with iran to search for gulf securities through diplomacy, a deterrence, and the escalation, instead of building more alliances between the soldiers and his raiders or trying to do so in order to confront him on because that we know from that past 50 years does not serve stability and peace in the region. thank you so much. my will be fixing later on. thank you. moving on to other news for lancaster, prime minister, run, overcome a single, has been supported as interim president. after i go to buy a roger pox, i resigned in the wake of mass protest against the state of the economy. the new president promised to restore law and order and establish a unity government,

which from a single will hold the post until the successor to russia, packs is elected. that process will start when parliament convenes on saturday. meanwhile, the former prime minister melinda roger poxel, the former president, excuse him, a 100 packs, and his brother battle had been bound from leaving sir lanka. an order from the supreme court means they would need permission to travel outside the country until july 28th. we know fernandez has more on the days events from colombo law. we had lots and lots of tension until we had that resignation letter of present go to albert roger boxer. people waited almost 2 days. finally, it came to wait a little longer until it had to be verified. but the fact that with the resignation of president roger boxer, the automatic, a moving of prime minister runner vicar missing at to the post of acting president . or is not something they were looking forward to. obviously when the president

appointed him in the 1st place, there was a lot of pushback because they said he did not have legitimacy that he literally was appointed on the national list. he had lost his parliamentary seat. so not very happy campers here, the new acting president until essentially the 20th of july, when there's an election in parliament to appoint a more long term, essentially president to fill the shoes of resin. gotta be raj, epoxy, till the end of the presidential term r d. a run over, grimacing her in an address to the nation. you know, making some sort of conciliatory comments. talking about everybody needing to work together. everybody needing to put the country 1st. not people 1st and things like that. so the people of this country, particularly these protesters, are who have been talking about a system change will be hoping that he actually follows that and allows the

democratic process to run its course. still heads on al jazeera, a sure strength, my iraq's influential religious liter. just weeks after he directed more than 70 m . p.

the u. s. president says the killers of al jazeera journalist, shooty, and a block they must be held accountable. joe biden was speaking after meeting palestinian leader misquote. bass of the occupied westbank on the 3rd day of his middle east tour. right. it is now on his way to saudi arabia. he previously pledged to make the kingdom a perio after the killing of journalists, yamaha shogi. hi oral prices and iran are on the agenda. sher lancoste prime minister, run over from a single, has been sworn in his interim president, after go to bio, to parks, are resigned in the wake of mass protests. the new president promised to restore law and order and establish the unity government. china has recorded it slowest economic growth since 2020 the slump is being blamed on a 0 tolerance cobra. 1900 policy which has interrupted industry and flattens consumer spending. adrian brown reports from hong kong for more than 2 decades,

china's economy has been the dependable engine for global economic growth. but that engine is starting to splutter. he can, he can see that the world's 2nd largest economy is slowing. and president changing pings 0 tolerance cove at 19 campaign is being blamed. 30 months after it began, but in whoo han, last month he signaled that it was a price worth pay. given the low vaccination rate, no country in the world is able to get it down to 0. so how is china to be able to do that, particularly with its low vaccination, right? it seems a very toy odom earlier this year. business activity in shanghai was brought to a standstill for weeks creating calles and food shortages. now the business and logistics hub is struggling to contain another outbreak. with households advise to stock up on 2 weeks of food and medicine. while many countries are trying to live with cove at 19, along with its multiple sub variance, china, it seems,

will not be joining that list anytime soon. and so for now, the economy remain stuck in a stop stop pattern. this week the government has released another batch of economic and trade statistics, but they don't necessarily reflect what's really happening to the economy. says one skeptical analyst, i think as a, as the reference as a reference. but like all officials, the physics we, analysts can help trying to figure how it correctly in terms of that i think that the key, the figure, the does matter though is the one for annual economic growth. but this here, china's lead us said at 5.5 percent. i think that's going to be very hard to achieve because there are so many headwinds. at the moment we have inflation taking off around the world. maybe the world economy might think into recession. so that means chinese export markets could well collapse with millions of people confined

to their homes. consumer confidence is flat. that's why inflations hovering around 2 and a half percent low compared to the us and europe. the uncertain economic part is unfolding in a politically sensitive year after the 20th party congress in november, president, she expects to secure an historic 3rd term. adrian brown, al jazeera hong kong, so that bleak economic outlook is affecting many countries. so it's the focus of the g 20 meeting underway in indonesia, finance ministers, and central bank governors and 20 major economies are in bali for 2 days of talks. discussions will center on the effect of the pandemic as well as the war in ukraine . just washington has more from bali we have been hearing this urgent calls for action or the food security and to provide context on that. like to bring in my guess i can signer from

b u n g u n t p administrator. thank you so much for joining us. you. you said that was facing the worst cost of living crisis in decades. 71000000 people pushed into poverty just in recent months. how bad is the situation in terms of global food insecurity that the world is facing? well, just to give you a sense in just 3 months, 71000000 people being impoverished falling to poverty is even faster than coven 19 caused in the 1st 3 months. of that just gives you a sense of the magnitude of how essentially 3 factors have really driven this cost of living prices, food, fuel and finance, which is why the un secretary general established 2 months ago, a global crisis responsible in order to alert the well to the cumulated impact that this would have that on your individuals, on households and families. but what we are now seeing is indeed on the global economy and particular developing countries where physical space is essentially

exhausted, levels of death are rising. and now the cost of servicing that, that is also increasing on top the food and fuel prices. so we are faced with a very serious prospect. the united states is the biggest single donor to ukraine and its fight to hold off the russian invasion. it's given more than $7000000000.00 worth of weapons and equipment so far. but for ukraine, the tiny donations are almost as valuable as the big ones. allen fisher reports from key equipment to on the front line of the ukrainian war drones medical kits. even mind detectors all provided by crowd funding charity and ukraine, set up after the russian invasion of crimea in 2014 has raised millions of dollars . the phone to a former high profile presenter on ukrainian tv where goods and we have are. so some big connection between society and the army because it's really important for

our soldiers that would carry about them. they understand that they not long, and that it's not only military case to defend our country. the idea of co funding like this isn't new, it's been around since before the 1st world war. what is different is the technology with crypto currency in cash transfers. money can be in accounts within seconds, from anywhere in the world frontline units fill in what they need online. the order is processed and st. more than a 1000000 donations have come in from all around the world. more than $34000000.00 ranging from big cash drops from wealthy individuals to pennies from pensioners. 9 year old tonya put a jenko, played checkers on the street. losers had to pay her. she raised $6000.00 ukrainian regina about $200.00. i was, i was doing this in order to give to the armed forces of ukraine, so they will fight against the russians. so they kick them off our land. the

charity now has about $200.00 volunteers around the country, experts in purchasing logistics technology. the ultimate goal to beat the russians, but the russians have been crowdfunding to figure suggest they've not been quite a successful. but the ukranian groups founder says, even when the ward has done his work, will continue while we fight with russians 900 years. and the of the biggest they, dea, missouri that and how know, ah, is just to help for granting army to win. and after that, ah, to start to prepare for the next attack on the ukrainians. believe they can get most equipment to the front line in a couple of days. easy. as long as the money continues to flow. alan fisher algae 0 keith, or per russian separate us in ukraine, say a british prisoner and their custody has died. hall array was accused of being a mercenary by the self proclaimed daniel people's republic. after his capture,

's. the bill had become the focus of tensions within druggies governments. tens of thousands of iraqis had gathered in baghdad for mass prayer as cold by the influential she cleric looked at the feather it sparking fears of further instability. last month, more than 70 members of parliament affiliated suicide, resigned on his orders. dipping months of political deadlock. had,

has more from baghdad. as you can see here in the by gone, these are tens of thousands of supporters of the shia cleric and political leader looked at us suddenly. they have gathered from several provinces across iraq here too. and saw that a city in about dead to perform a congregation mass prayers. this is upon request from look to the southern himself, has been calling on his followers and supporters across iraq to come to bagdad to perform this congregation at mazda at raves. now, this is very special because it comes at the heart of a political unrest that is, following their stalemate in iraq and after at $73.00 parliament, a members affiliated to him, up to the southern, who quitted from the parliament over a disagreement. whether at iranian backed parties over forming a new government,

this is 9 months after the legislative elections in october at last year. now, we have been talking to people here, followers these up worshipers. we have been telling us that you want to send several messages to day regional local messages at local messages, including that they're backing them up to the southern were supporting him in his at stance in his while they can fight against corruption and injustice. this also could be read as a kind of shore force. these numbers are meant according to many people here too. so that looked at us so that as a political and religious leader has many people backing him in iraq. and if he's moving on in his fight against what they call.
