ah, we start in the us where president joe biden is hosting his 1st state dinner lighter for french leader, a manual ma crone. the peer are expected to focus on the ukraine war, china and iran. but francis concerned about biden's climate and infrastructure bill earlier. microphone criticized u. s. subsidies saying they are super aggressive towards european companies. our white house correspondents. kimberly how kit has more. there is no question that simmering beneath the pomp and pageantry, that is the official state dinner. jo biden's 1st official state dinner. we have to had mentioned that this has been put on hold. it is appearing kind of late and joe biden's presidency put off because of covered are some simmering tensions. the fact that there are some grave concerns, particularly by european nations, about a signature piece of legislation known as the inflation reduction act. and the big

concern is that packed in that legislation are billions of dollars of green energy technology that many in europe believe is really disguised as the protectionism. because a lot of what that is is made in america as stipulations of these is sort of thorny issues come on the heels of another big obstacle that the 2 nations had to put behind them last year. you may recall the difficult diplomatic spat that occurred when there was that deal that went sour when at australia decided to put the nail in the coffin if you will, of a purchase of submarines of, from france buying us subs instead. and that is another sort of thorny issue that is likely to come up. but again, the white house saying that that is behind these 2 nations in the state. dinners, oliver, highlighting the strength of the alliance between the united states and the french

does this format this not convince for more than 3 years? so this is an important signal. the dialect will allow us to focus. why does human rights policy issues? and an individual chooses crushes, foreign minister says previous relations with the west will not be restored. at a news conference i left for the western powers had a real chance to avoid conflict in ukraine, but they rejected russian proposals to hold nicer expansion. the west is russia's proposals before the ukraine were insincere. bush and show last december, washington preferred not to take advantage of a real chance the de escalation what the chance was that the questions are shared by the u. s. and brussels chose a court aimed at comprehensively supporting the key regime and it's policy for advocating all things. russian education,

media use of the russian language and culture. and everyday life in general is non, val has more for moscow. we talked about the expansion of nato, saying that it is wrong, and it is very dangerous. and it is a threat, a direct threat to the russian interests and awesome security. saying nato was founded principally on the defensive organisation. and there were terms and you know, agreements that bind nato not to turn itself into an offensive a body security body. but that's not what's taken place. now. that by adding some of the nordic countries to the organization has got got closer and closer to the russian territory. and thus play with fire. as he said he'd and talked about the nato intervention in far flung regions like the south china sea. and that's why russia has now increased its cooperation with china in order to,

to stand in the face of the aggressive expansion across the world by, by nato. he also talked about the nuclear weapons and he said that the nuclear power should make sure that the nuclear war doesn't take place because that's going to be the end of everything. and he said brushes engaged to those principles not to not to allow any, any such things to happen and the europeans also, the americans should take that into consideration far right. is rarely politician to my been given has been invited to celebrate you. a national day was written, the radio is reporting that the immorality ambassador to israel invited to think of it, to the use embassy and elevate, think of it is known to anti arab comments. he is to become israel national security minister after signing a coalition agreement with benjamin netanyahu. with huge crowds have turned out and

if he's found guilty when the country is divided. i can tell you that those who are alleging one to the effect that the language used by this independent panel is not final. it's not decisive. it says the president may have committed, you know, violations may have acted against his oath of office, et cetera. not the exact language, but that those while letting one to them may have and prima facie and then that those who are saying simply that from what we know now, the president must simply resign. now that debate is going to go on until we hear from president obama for so basically, the boy is in his court. now, does he have the appetite to stay and fight? because he insists that he did nothing wrong. he did not violate his oath of office . so does he stay and fight. given the fact that this is only preliminary, this finding of this independent panel. therefore, he has

a fighting chance in the process is to unfold in part of it. especially if he goes on to secure a 2nd term as a and see president, then that sort of strengthens him in terms of control of the parliamentary focus in parliament, the focus of the amc. so does it take that route, which will see him more or less, you know, carrying the load and this burden. almost similar to what jacob zoom i was like during his presidency in that people ended up is opponents ended up checking him a constitutional delinquent. and you remember that the current president settle drama had earlier undertaken a few months ago that he is found to have done wrong. he would step down a silly hit on al jazeera, worsening crosses in haiti. gang violence is escalating thousands of flip the country.

this wave of re moving across southern sumatra, pushing into borneo. now the other day we picks up about 50 millimeters of rain in singapore. here's pakistan and still bad air quality, poor air quality both toward the south and the north is while it's because we have no real wind to mix away. that pollution. karachi has a top temperature of 31 degrees on friday. that's it. susan. ah, ah, in a

this is a heavy white clash worthy of a knockout game and effectively is that because it is when to take when the tanks all isn't it? it really isn't a could be a really messy notes in the world cup as a whole, with germany and belgium facing some jet, the traditional heavy weights of the europe and game both could be out of the world cup. and in a few hours time, lot of talk about this belgium team, whether or not that best chance of winning the world cup came and went 4 years ago in russia when they got as far as the semi finals before losing out to friends, cycled golden generation of belgium football, kevin brewing their style and it failed to mention the city during an interview in the build up to this tournament in which he suggested that perhaps the team was a little bit too old now to be serious contenders. now that was an entity that bio accounts didn't go down to well amongst some of these other teammates, particularly for the one or 2 years older than him. and it all came to a head, always pension, came to a head after they got beaten by morocco, the other night, last to nail verbal,

even physical altercations with how to play in the changing room. after that game have been clear, the tools were told by people close to the belgium said since then with romilly to call that strike has sort of playing the role of a piece negotiator in the middle of it. all i revert to mark and as the head coach normally very reserve to killer guy, he was very angry and he's pretty much press conference, says the french me, you've got a campaign against his team trying to divide them, making up false quotes about his players, whether or not, there is one last spend in this in this belgian saying we will find out soon enough when they take on croatia in just over half an hour time. would be fascinating to see how that plays out. thank you very much. this anti richardson for us. they will it's good live now to far a smile and clearly your canadian but surely he morocco favorites for the sky mount day. oh, well tom,

i guess he could say about it. yes they are. they are the only arab team left in this composite competition. so a win against canada would absolutely guarantee them a spot in the next round. i. as for canada, this is their last game here. so canadian fans really want to see a win. and i've got richie here with me now, richie, and i go back a long way. was it like all the way to the beginning of the tournament? and we were talk to were so hide canada? did so well against bell, john that what happened? i mean, i think candidate came on and dominated that game against the number 2 team in, you know, in the world rank right now. and it was just a matter of getting over that. i'm getting the ball in the net. i think that we showed that we belong here and that we can play at this level and people watch around the world. we're impressed that we play attacking football and it's fun to watch. and so we're impressed with our team. is that a little bit of it maybe edge of experience in a belgium's, an older team has been all talked about that, but the fact that they were able to play a bad game and still win, that's something that can,

it needs to work towards where we can find ways to win and just get more experience . and that's, you know, 1st game in a world cup and 36 years, we're just going to build on more experience and, and keep on from there. yeah, because it's important as co host at the next rock up in 2020 sakes, but they but they don't lose this game because it will be sakes that were all caught matches on the bounce that they've wrought. so how important is that? is it for them to put in a good performance tonight? i think 2026 starts today. yes, we can't. we can't continue in this tournament, but we're gonna be hosting. we know we're going to be there and 2026 starts right now and canadians we're known for our grid and our resilience. so i think tonight is really important to send a message. we've got our 1st goal ever in the world cup. i was a crazy man, one of my life to be there for that. and tonight i think we're going to see our 1st points ever in world cup game as well. and i know that our boys going to come out and go for a land. that's how herdman plays and thinks us how this team is. we're gonna attack and be on the front foot. so i absolutely think 2026 starts right now at this game and can, is going to go out for the when. yeah. okay, so you're going to go in there and watch,

and i'm going to go in there and watch and tom, i'm not going to tell you who i'm going to be cheering for. i met you, make it so difficult. thank you very much. it's for her ismael. i hope you have a good night out there. and bollywood actress nora fata he is the most follow to arab office on social media with the biggest support and india from rural can canadian features on the official feet. the soundtrack, lights the sky as one of 4 of the regions most famous female artists. sarah, hi rods caught up with her back, started should the fan festival and thought, oh this guy, red one, had called the sub and that we want you to be a part of the truck. and i think the reason why i came in is because of the diversity that i bring in the kind of fan following, which is fully cosmopolitan, south asian, north african middle eastern. and it's

a form of representation. so i think with my addition to the track i bring on the full spectrum of representation, we sang, i sang hindi lyrics on the track to do something really different. and there's a reason why we did that because a in hindsight is also built by south asian people along with arabs in unison. so it's important to give them that kind of representation and that love. and on top of that, cut the world cup when it's broadcasted the whole world watches. so it's nice for everyone to see a little bit of them in the song, in the dance performance wherever they can, or whether it's with their players, their teams or through the music. like today we did on stage, ah, working living in india, indian art is har bollywood born in canada? so i'm like, comply isn't of different, different things, and to be able to represent in such a historical event, like people will come in. this part of the world it's in itself,

is already epic. it's crazy, some milestone from my career. all my friends have a lost their mind. they're just, they feel like this is one of the most inspiring moments. we have so many things happening at once before football at the play years. they're all coming together. all definitions coming together in unison. i what you saw today during the performance my audience is diverse. we have south asians, we have moroccans, we have era. and despite the fact that india doesn't play and people will come, but they're here today to support their here in spirit, to music through dance. so their presence is felt and that was my goal when i joined this amazing world light of that and to thing like the sky to see everyone light up their phones, you know, and i think the lyrics to me is a huge mass for my career. i'm a, i come from very humble background,

very small place in toronto in canada. and you know me being like 15 years old. 60 at that time i would have never imagined speed up here in such a platform and have all the love and support a local played belgium. so well just a couple of days ago. and i'm so impressed with how hard they work. and i know canada has also worked really hard. definitely supporting morocco, please. canada, don't hate me. but yeah, i love both the teams. you guys work hard play hard and a hard question. let's bring you some other world news now, and the you in says the number of people who will needs humanitarian aid next year

has increased by nearly a quarter. it's appealing for a record for a $51500000000.00 to fund its operations globally. that the money will help bring relief to nearly 350000000 people affected by natural disasters and conflict funds will also be used to tackle global issues including food shortages, viral outbreaks, and climates. migration is gonna go up by about 25 percent. well that's a shaka. yeah. and it's gonna be jeff by about $25.00 centuries is as so what that means is very, very simply that the gap that read needs and funding is going to grow with danny. sri can to raja is the chief executive of oxfam, great person. he says that needs to be fundamental changed to the way the world funds humanitarian 8 the way that the world funds these needs is broken. you know

where the u. n is going cap in hand to bag in some ways for donation to help it respond to this need. we should have a much better system, the tree positioning resources so that the un agencies are able to go out there and not just respond, but build resilience in these communities so that we prevent displacement and disaster. at the moment that comes from rich donor countries who, who make voluntary contributions to the united nations, those don't need to step up. many of them have not met the pledges they've made time. and again, over the decade that they will provide aid or emergency relief. but we also need to find ways of raising the resources. i think it's time that we talk about creative solutions. why can't we have a global wind full tax on, on, on fossil fuel company so that rose resources can go into a global trust fund. so that the people who are impacted by the, by climate breakdown,

who are being affected by drought source of famine or floods or wildfires, have the resources to be tempted to have relief provided to them. it's time that we get bold and creative because unacceptable that here we are in the 20th century, still unable to, to provide for the most vulnerable and needy people on the planet. let's go back to our top story now and us president joe biden is hosting his 1st state dinner for french liter menu, makai, which is just getting underway. let's go to our white house correspondent, kimberly healthcare who is also there. and kimberly, can you explain just how fred gyle this relationship isn't and will a face to face meeting actually help mendez? well, there's no question that there is a fragile relationship that exists between france and the united states. but right now, it is all smiles on the south lawn of the white house. the red carpet has been ruled

out. you can hear perhaps the canons that are sounding off as there are the national anthems being played for both france and then the united states, the 2 leaders side by side in the south lawn at the south portico of the white house. this is the beginning of a very long day of official meetings, as well as official ceremony. we know that the u. s. president will be holding a meeting with the french president where they will be discussing some of those very thorny issues between the 2 nations. among them. the issue of trade, which is a big stumbling block, the concern that the inflation reduction act as the signature piece of legislation for this u. s. president packed with billions of dollars of green energy technologies. the concern of european nations is that it looks a lot like protectionism. it has a lot of made in america, clauses that europeans don't like,

and the fear is that it could ignited trade war. and so that is something that is going to be high on the agenda, some of the other issues that will be discussed, the war and ukraine, or both nations are aligned. they are united in their condemnation of russia's invasion of ukraine. they'll also be discussing iran, africa, a combating climate change, and also dealing with china, where they are united is in concerns about perhaps the overreach and of china in the inner pacific. but where they are differing is on the position of their partnership with china. the position of france being that they are partners at times with child the united states at times, adversaries. so there are some differences that they are going to have to work out . but at the moment, this is a very much about showing that there is a strong relationship between france and the united states,

at least for the cameras. and this evening for a formal state dinner tucked in between that will be meetings at the state department for the french president and the secretary of state entity blinkin. you will also be traveling to capitol hill to meet with the leadership there as well. and then on friday, there will be a travel to the state of louisiana where he will be meeting with the francophone community in new orleans. now we should point out just to give some historical perspective that this is the 1st to official state visit for you as president joe biden. and we should also point out that it was also a french president at emmanuel mcgraw that made the 1st official state visit when it was goes president donald trump as well. so that it is notable that both times this was a french president making these 1st visits for us. presidents thank you so much for

listening to see how this plays out. that's kimberly help for us at the white house . at least 12 people have died in haiti after gang members burned down houses near the capital. violence has escalated since the assassination of president jovan elmore say, last year the unrest has caused a severe humanitarian crisis. that is $4000.00 to flee the country. prue lawana reports from portal prints not importer prints. they still arise from the beating sun, but it is not the sun but come for them. let us hold her hand demonstrating what she had to do to save her life. this but one corner of the capital, but its crowded yard till of a nation to morrow. and out pouring of anger, frustration, fear, almost half a population of a ww people faces acute hunger without knowing what we haven't used since yesterday, we have nothing to drink, we are suffering. even our voice is gone. louis,

wife and child killed, others made quiet by their loss. 96000 people displaced by gangs in the capital alone. these people have been displaced, not once, but twice. first, they fled gang violence in to take this delay, perhaps the most dangerous power to put a crown up at the airport. and then what happened is, sorry he's chased them out. so they came here to the city. or are you hoping to get something? what i guess is a piece of paper from the paper is angry. neither food nor shelter had been forthcoming. others hand me this single document which a to the some, when they did belong before the gang struck us, they started shooting. we had to jump in though, i mean, there was a lot of us, we had to one in high lay down and wait for the right time to come out. so we could leave. then they were the capital hugo chavez square,
