1:08 pm
project or for an amount of 97000000 years for this year only in order to allow order to continue assuming it's a life saving and key functions not have been providing health care and education support to 3 and a 1000 or so children in gaza. is that enough? of course not. but we're not the only players. i mean, we are, we should call upon the other countries and the goals and the arab neighbors in addition to, of course, but the u. member states and the u. s. is doing. but of course, as we all know and raw, is only a partial solution to the suffering of the people in gaza. you, of course, the money's one thing, but you know, you only a few hours ago israel admitted to killing 5 children in the are texas. how are you holding them to account? it's very important to underline and i said so in a press conference earlier this morning that any duty barrow and of course are the
1:09 pm
responsibility stays primarily with the occupying power east for any duty. bear on this concerns also palestinian affections has to respect 3 kit principals in combat operations under international taylor. the 1st assist, stinkin, under no way, it is possible to have indiscriminate fight targeting of civilians. secondly, proportionality, maximum restrained, has to be used when using excessively less force and certainly precaution. it's very important to protect the vin operation. it's very important to protect children in particular. so it's very deplorable. 17 children have been killed in the course of these 3 days of fighting. and that's the reason why we immediately called for swift impartial and thorough investigation to find out who did that. and if found out, bring the perpetrators to justice. okay, and you've been on the ground there for, for a while now. how would you describe the conditions you have found since getting
1:10 pm
there and, and the plight of the people that you've met so far? you know, this last job, escalation and conflict exacerbated the problems on the ground according to under the a poverty level. how was it on? not 80 percent for the population of garza, unemployment, 75 percent of young graduates. imagine that 90 percent of young women in gaza below the age of 30 don't find a job and more than 60 percent of young man below 30 find a job. this is not sustainable. and that's the reason why we need to address this, not from a purely real money, cherry, and point of view. but for our political aspect, it indispensable that a political solution be found. and this has 2 angles, stood. the 1st of all is to end. as soon as possible, the closure and locate of garza to allow gases to freely move that entry and exit completely liberalize so that people can sort of improve their life you. it's the
1:11 pm
2nd is a political solution, a solution which allows that is a union fight politically credible and democratic, the elected government off that policy authority, responsible for both the west bank and gaza. and that cause for all felicity infection and its leadership to agree on reconciliation and stage election as soon as possible that the people of garza and the westbank can vote for their representatives. date. you mentioned that there, the block, hey that many point that to to that being the biggest, biggest issue, the biggest hurdle to overcome. so how likely is it, what more can you do to push for that to be lifted? it's very important to convince an issue and as well that's in its own security interest to ease the conditions and lower the hardship for the gases. you will not be surprised if terrorism flares up. if people have no other route for escape, it's important to provide them with life opportunities, allow them to trade,
1:12 pm
to invest, provide security of investment, and that is part of a political horizon. if you don't have that, people get desperate. if young people don't find a job, they become radicalized or turn inward, or migrate, and we are the 1st and you'd have to have than basic to deal with that. but each one as well. and let's not be ignorant about that. climate change continues to induce huge scar cities in terms of access to land, water and energy, and an ever growing population. in particular, the gaza strip, where you have already the 3rd highest density in the world of population. you do your math in 20 years town, we have twice as many people in gaza with no access to land, energy and water and no livelihood. this will explode in the interest of israel into the european union, inches of the entire region to find a political solution as soon as possible until we all hope that that happens. i thank you very much. that's fin bergdorf who is the ambassador and representative

1:18 pm
a recent visit to taiwan by us house speaking, nancy pelosi, a planned provocation. america i went through with michelle, you the american adventure and relation to taiwan is not just a trip of an individual, irresponsible politician. it's part of a conscious us strategy to destabilize the region and the world. this is the brazen display of disrespect for the sovereignty of other countries. or meanwhile, beijing says it will conduct more life fire military exercises around taiwan and is ready to smash any foreign interference in its affairs. china says the drills are aimed at deterring what it called political tricks played by the us and taiwan. the warning coincides with a visit by a u. s. congressional delegation to the island, the china claims as its own. beijing has announced sanctions against 7 taiwanese officials, for supporting independence. india has raised security concerns after a chinese research vessel docked and sri lanka. the ship will stay in the port of
1:19 pm
humble, told her for a week in the affairs, china will use the port as a military base. the hon. wang 5 hairs, the latest tracking technology to monitor satellite rocket end, intercontinental ballistic missile launches. beijing has called the concerns completely unjustified yamaha cook. i'll try and do you have the activities of the vessel are in line with international law and do not affect any country security or economic interests. they should not be interfered with by 3rd parties. nelson and his reports from the pools at the heart of the dispute is what exactly this vessel does? the u ang, wang 5? now as you can see, a massive satellite dishes read a equipment. the chinese basically see this is a research and survey with her, but basically the indians claim it's a spy ship and have expressed concern that it's too close to india for comfort. or
1:20 pm
they said compromises their security. and this has been the reason for the towing in throwing in recent days. the delay of the ship's arrival here. it's ironic that it has called at a port that the chinese themselves built for sri lanka. obviously now on the chinese control after shall anchor decided to lease it out to the chinese on a 99 year lease in 2017. after it figured out and decided it could not afford to make the loan payments. so china at the end of the day, or seeming to get its way the ship is here and in there also sort of appease. we saw the arb ceremony here to welcome the ship are not having any senior representatives, good government. but someone who did represent president runner vicar, missing her and read out a message. but overall i every one a has been appeased and the ship is here. well, it's bringing david brewster. he's a senior research fellow at the national security college of camber. he joins us
1:21 pm
fire scott from sydney. thank you so much for joining us. i guess. first of all, how a significant power move is this from china? tom, i think it is really quite significant. it's this faithful well called a satellite for tracking vessel. almost certainly has the range of intelligence gathering capabilities. and i see that intelligence gathering is very much a see india, that's why they believe in the ration. and so the indians have very significant concerns about that. i see said he says, for like really assisting china in a levers and they be, they say this is really a slap in the face, particularly given the amount of emergency assistance that india has given to slang or in recent month. as hard as part of the blank and
1:22 pm
economic crisis. i think about china and india. it's really quite a significant event. like what can india going in if, if anything, at this point in time? well, there's obviously a lot going on behind. the st. shlang carries desperately trying to renegotiate a large amount of lines with china while also negotiating an existence package. and here we say the conjunction of, of all of that. and the chinese really flexing their muscles about these. so it's clear that the, the special doesn't lead to don't in for lag or it could probably dark in a range of other ports in the region. but it was very important from the chinese perspective, back for the visit through and clearly they were using the the ap
1:23 pm
standing dates from for lanka as leverage again this for like in government, you alluded to it a little bit there. this comes off the back of china's portion to the pacific. so is it doing the same thing here in asia? absolutely, and it's right across the northern indian ocean. it has a number of relationships. it's built a number of ports, nominally to protect china's trade routes across the indian ocean. but it comes with a whole bunch of other things, including exerting political influence against many of the country, but slowly the valuable countries and relying her certainly at the moment is extremely vulnerable to these sort of being closed. so i mean along with india, i imagine the us are just as concerned about us. absolutely,
1:24 pm
as us is obviously india strategic partner out of the u. s. and many other countries should also add and then not only about the growing chinese military presence in the indian ocean, but more importantly, the way that china exercise is power over the small countries and small and bol ruble country. and this is really a demonstration of china is influence and power of a shrine for at the moment. david bruce to thank you very much for your analysis and insight. thanks very much, john. united nations high commissioner, the human rights michelle marshall. i is visiting one of the world's biggest refugee camps, partially, is in cox's design in bangladesh, home to around a 1000000 working of refugee lead me in mar, in 2017, under a military crackdown. she's expected to meet with banquet issue prime minister. she

after india rise, security concerns the ship will be and had been taught to for a week, india fis, beijing. we'll use the port as a military base world powers have been trying to salvage the iran nuclear deal known as the j. c. p. o. i around signed the agreement in 2015. it was designed to limit toronto nuclear ambitions and exchange for sanctions relief. but in may 2018 then president donald trump withdrew the us and began re imposing sanctions. a year later around started ramping up its nuclear program at reduced access to bonuses from the you. in nuclear watchdog, increasing tension with the you, with negotiations resumed in april. last year, under the biden administration, and the european union has put forward what is called a final text, urging all sides to sign on to a deal. oh, darry, small is from brandeis university. he says if the current dropped agreement fails,
1:37 pm
the u. s. will likely increase its demands. unfortunately, it appears to me that iran is not willing to. ready accept the text that the e u has put forward. as far as i can tell from progress reporting, iran has attached some additional conditions and demands that wants to be met. and if iran is not prepared to accept the text, i imagine that us will probably also have some changes that would like to say has iran has raised 3 separate issues, which the u. s. considers to be extraneous to the text. first iran, what sanctions lifted on the i r g c or companies associated with the ira, g. c. second, iraq want some guarantees that even after the president biden leaves the white house, the u. s. will continue to honor the agreement and 31 once the i e,
1:38 pm
a investigation in to past nuclear activities to the end. and as i said, the u. s. considers each agrees to be extraneous to the agreement and is not prepared to accept any of. so i think it's very much an america's interest to revive the j. c p. away. i think it's in your rods and krista as well, so i don't quite understand why is supremely hum. luke continues to procrastinate. whether it's just bargaining tactics, or whether he prefers to hang onto it ra, a iran's enriched uranium, even if it costs iran. tremendous loss of opportunity in terms of oil revenues. well, the us state department is around must abandon demands. it calls an acceptable and talks to provide the 2015 nuclear deal to ron says, an agreement could be reached in the coming days if certain issues are resolved. report say one of those is we're moving around revolution regards off
1:39 pm
a us terrorism list. we've been clear about what a return to mutual compliance with g c p a would look like. there are issues that the iranians have put on the table that are clearly extraneous to the 4 corners of the jcp away. every time they have done that, we have made very clear that the jcp away is about one thing and one thing only, it's about iran nuclear program and we're prepared to negotiate one thing. and one thing moment, i mean is government is said to declare a national day of mourning to remember those who died in an explosion in a busy market. on sunday 16 people were killed in 18 missing, following the block to the firework storage facility in the capital. 1112 people remain in hospital. the prime minister's office is the date of the remembrance day will be announced to search and rescue. operations are completed or 10 years

1:46 pm
the vice ellen vaccine recognizes or targets the original strain as well as the on the chrome sub variant, be a one with cross protection against b, a foreign be a 5 that are currently driving the waves that we're seeing across the, the world. particularly, what's a good news about this is that the trials, according to madonna, have a higher antibody level protection. so a $1.00 times more protection against b 4 and being 5 versus the original booster. so that's encouraging results in this instance. so the u. k. m h r ray r a regulatory agency is using these antibody level protection as a proxy for a wider clinical studies. and again, this is just tweaking the original vaccine. so others a lot of confidence that there isn't going to be a significant difference in side effect profiles. i with however, being useful for winter when we see lots of other research re, viruses, also circulating putting pressure and health system. yeah. and,
1:47 pm
and just on that with the northern hemisphere, winter, just around the corner. how significant and how needed is this vaccine at this point in time? well, certainly this is being welcomed by many governments. however, the e u vs the case to gain bit more of a conscious approach, waiting for more a clinical data before they approve, unless there is a, an as significant turn of events. however, what we could see is that a new form of variance said start to become dominant in the winter, which means that to we will need to continue developing vaccines in future. this certainly isn't going to be the last of the, this type of cove. it next generation vaccines. what we probably will be looking at is a pan current of ours vaccine that a pharmaceutical companies are currently developing which is able to protect against a variety of. busy current of ours across the spectrum. so really that's, it is an important a added tool. however, it is a, a boost that we need ahead of
1:48 pm
a winter when we see that the overall with omicron, there is a lots of vaccine escapes. so certainly this is good news. however, we're looking at to also what's happening in low income countries. many countries still don't have their 1st as, as available there, and not going to impact to what variance emerge in the future. so we can't just speak only focusing on development of new vaccines. we also need solid public health policies in place, including clean air. almost no country in the world has really embraced improving ventilation, public spaces. and that's needed, not just for coven, but to reduce overall burden of respiratory illness overall. you touched on it in the a little bit. but do you think that will even be a one stop shop vaccine where you can just get one job and we'll inoculate you from any very end of coverage now or in the future?
1:49 pm
well, that's what the aim of the pancreas virus of vaccine would be. is, is to be able to prevent infection against any type of future variant that emerges . however, they're on to, it's not available yet, and it'll take sign to some time to get there. but it also depends how dramatic the future at mutations and evolution of ours become that could present many more challenges. and it's also why this as a variant or, or this particular new vaccine includes that original while strain. because actually we, we remember that that strain cause more severe illness then the arm across variant . so in that perspective, it's really useful to have protection against the more or less a dangerous form, as well as the milder form. because we could see it circling back. there's nothing to say we couldn't circle back to, to a variant that has a more significant health outcomes and just some vaccine technology is keeping pace
1:50 pm
with a very instead continue to morphin m mutate. that's certainly a challenge and lots of an investment research development is needed to, to drive that forward. certainly there is incentives just given that the over the last 2 years, the skill consequences that have impacted almost everyone as a result of the pandemic. so we certainly do need that research these research programs to continue there of over 200 various vaccines in development. and the w chose also as supporting these programs to ensure that we're getting a more fast rollout in areas that need the most. so the, the tech from the technology side, as long as we continue to see investment in these arms that work is ongoing behind the scenes, pfizer is a do to announce whether there are a bite on vaccine has as similar a results or perhaps even better protection in future, so all of that work is going on in the background and a thank you so much that sucks on
