8:02 pm
i was just after a 1700 gmc mid day in washington, and that is where president joe biden has officially welcomed french leader in me, andrea and mccall and his 1st state visit. since button took office. the leaders are expected to discuss the war and ukraine as well as china and iran. but france will also raise concerns about jo biden's climates and infrastructure bill earlier my co criticize subsidies in the bill saying they are quote, super aggressive towards european companies as good. our white house correspondent . kimberly how can you join us like kimberly, last time we spoke the presidents were meeting behind closed doors. what's happening at the moment? yeah, presumably that meeting has wrapped up and now we are a waiting a joint press conference. it was set to begin just a few moments ago. it looks like the 2 leaders are running a little bit behind schedule. maybe that's because their meeting is still ongoing. maybe they're working out some differences. we're not quite sure, but there was a lot to talk about. some of those simmering tensions. are you what you just
8:03 pm
alluded to and that is the inflation reduction act? it's a bit of a concern to not just france, but a lot of european nations because and talked it, it are billions of dollars and green energy technologies that, while the us presidents, pretty proud of that legislation, it's signature policy for him. many european nations see it is protectionism, because not only is it clean energy, but it's also made in america. stipulations, in some cases. and that is a concern because it could ignite a trade war and that is the big fear. and so there's been some pretty blunt criticism from emanuel macro about this legislation. and what he feels is that there needs to be some discussion about this. and so that's one of the big thorny issues and it comes on the heels of last years are for when france was blindsided by australia deciding to canada, deal buying nuclear submarines from france instead going with the purchasing from
8:04 pm
the united states. so there have been some issues of dispute between these 2 nations, but for the most part today, what we've seen is on display a very much of pomp and pageantry, sort of display all state visits and a very much a showcase of the alliance. in fact, the u. s. president saying that france is the oldest ally and unwavering partner. so there's very much, uh, does show of us very the solid relationship that exists. but underneath we know that there are a lot of details that to be worked out. and we suspect that in the upcoming press conference that, that is something that the reporters will be drilling down on. so you know, the centerpiece of all that pomp and pageantry you just mentioned is usually the dinner right at a state visit. so give us the dinner news. well, what we know is that the dinner is
8:05 pm
a really the culmination of this visit. and i should tell you that prior to the dinner there is going to be a little bit more work that emmanuel macro will be doing. he will be going to the state department. well, he will be meeting with the secretary of state antony blank, and then he'll be going to capitol hill, where he will be meeting with the top leadership of both the senate and the house of representatives, the republican and democratic party. but you're right. everyone is going to be watching to see that state dinner. we should point out that this is a kind of almost like a royal event in the united states. so there will be gowns. there will be photographs that will be taken and never only focused on the menu. and i can tell you that that menu is elaborate. it will have main lobster. it will have brussel sprouts, not particularly my favorite and wisconsin cheese. that's the u. s. state of wisconsin, so this is something that, that americans at around the world, people like to focus on as so there is a little bit of celebrity,
8:06 pm
if you will added to this event as well as so this is a formal event and it's when the flung over do or should point out as well, given the fact that this is coming a bit late in the presidency for joe biden, given the fact that coverage did put off this event a somewhat kimberly, i knew i would get you to talk about lobster and american cheese somehow and just by the way, just so viewers understand delegations on both sides, america and france, they make a big, big deal of the menu, which is why we always end up talking about. kimberly, thank you so much. more cities in china relaxing cove in 1900 restrictions as the government tries. the eas, public anger of the southern city of guam, joe, is among several to reduce testing requirements and controls on movement, local media, se people in beijing of being allowed to isolate at home. instead of staying in quarantine centers, trying to 0 co policy has led to unprecedented demonstrations in recent days. at the european union is urging china to use its influence on russia to end the war in

a real chance at the escalations. the chance was that the questions are strapped to shield the u. s. and brussels chose a court and aimed at comprehensively supporting the key regime in its policy for advocating all things. russian education, media use of the russian language and culture. and everyday life in general is when you, mohammed val has more now from moscow. they 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 ozzy, a 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
8:09 pm
and closer to the russian territory. and thus play with fire. as he said, he's and talked about the nato intervention in a far flung region is like the south china sea. thus, y a. 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 talks 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 thing to happen. and the europeans also, the americans should take that into consideration. an independent panel in south africa has found presidents several rum, a pause, violated his oath of office, which could lead to his impeachment. the panel was set up after millions of dollars

8:11 pm
wait for the jew process and find it out and stick to his narrative, but he has done nothing wrong. but that might bring a constitutional crisis, an instability, particularly within his own party, as well as in the country, given the situation that way, even the economy and everything else. but full understanding, the man that has been behind africa's transition to democracy. he has been in the forefront of writing the very same concentration. we're talking about one a think that the president might do the right thing. that is to resign for, for the good of the country and also to protect his own legacy. people in the southern indian state of corolla, protesting against a shipping port being built by asia's richest man. construction for the multi

morocco. in other world news, the un says the number of people who will need humanitarian aid next year has increased by nearly a quarter. it's appealing for a record $51500000000.00 to fund its operations globally. 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 by real outbreaks and climate migration. gonna go up by about 25 percent. well and that's the shaka. yeah. and it's gone up the gym by about 25 percent of the research. yes . and so what that means the very, very simply is a simple fact that the gap between me and funding is going to grow danesh recount raja is the chief executive of oxfam, great britain. and he says, there needs to be fundamental change to the way the world finance is humanitarian aid. the way that the world fund these needs is broken, you know,
8:19 pm
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 us 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 a 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 winful tax on, on, on fossil fuel company so that rose resources can go into
8:20 pm
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 to be, 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. far right is really politician that tom or bank of beer has been invited to celebrate. the national day of the united arab emirates is really radio is reporting the last bachelor's. israel invites, had been given to the you, a embassy, intel of eat, a been veer is known for his anti arab comments. you said to become israel to national security minister after signing coalition agreement with benjamin netanyahu. a huge crowds of turned out in the occupied westbank for the funerals of 2 palestinians killed by israeli forces. mohammed al sadi and nemo's bady were shot
8:21 pm
during arrayed in the janine refugee camp on thursday. 2 men were members of the cook brigade, the military wing of islam yard group, the so called brain chip company. your link will be ready to conduct human trials in the next 6 months. new rulings technology is designed to allow a person to control electronic devices with their mind. there is speculation that the chip will one day help people with disabilities. billionaire eli musk, who owns the company, showed a video of a monkey, apparently using its thoughts to type we think probably in about 6 months, we should be able to have our 1st neuro link in a human. so for of the 1st 2 applications we're going to him for and humans are restoring vision. and i think this is like, notable in that even if someone has never had vision ever like they were born blind, were believe they can, they can, we can still restore vision. so because the,
8:22 pm
the visual part of the, the visual cortex is still still there. andrew may know it is the director of the future of being human initiative at arizona state university. he's in tempe and joins us live on this. andrew, tell us a little bit more about the real world applications. you will tell us about how this works. the tech behind it in a 2nd, but 1st start with the real world applications. so there are a lot of applications at the moment. your link is looking at addressing medical issues. so you've just had people who have seen depth sets that blind. there are also applications in terms of controlling the brain where you've gotten your electrical diseases or even helping the body work where you've got nerve damage. so that's one level. but of course, the vision is that we can actually improve ourselves, improve our brains by putting these chips into our heads. and we can think faster, we can actually connect to the internet just by thinking about it. we can actually
8:23 pm
communicate with each other just with our thoughts. when you say we can do this, we can, i mean, has it been? well actually, i know, you know, so this is the speculation. nothing is proven here, but the technology is impressive. but we're still speculating about what we might be able to do with it. okay, so what, ok, now i understand you. i'm with you. what is the most impressive thing and what you've already mentioned is pretty impressive that we think and would be able to do with this. so to me, it's scaling. so we've been able to put chips in people's brains for a long time. now. won't your link and what evil musket doing is creating a system where we can put tens of thousands of wires of senses of actuators in some of these brain ready fast connect that up wirelessly and be able to not only feed stuff directly into our brain, but actually manipulate the brain at a scale, but nobody else has been able to do before. so that to me as
8:24 pm
a massive leaving capability when we get there and we're not there yet. call me old fashioned. but when you mentioned putting chips in people's brains, i can't help but wonder is that we sure that's a good idea. you know, a lot of people are asking the same question and the rest of the huge, huge ethical issues here. it's interesting talking to people, i talk to my students about this, i would say at least a 3rd of my students are excited about the idea of being able to enhance that brains with chips. but other people very, very wary because there are tremendous pitfalls here as we move forward. give you an example. when you say we put the right, if this works, right, if this goes ahead and we were able to put chips in people's brains and then you say enhance them, what do you mean by that? do what? yeah, so, so imagine that you could do google searches just by thinking about what you're interested in saying you could send a text to somebody just by thinking the words out. say you could have a conversation just by you thinking what you want to say. and then receiving the
8:25 pm
thoughts of somebody else. this is one of the dreams and i urologist with tell you this is a long way wakes. we don't know how the brain works. but in principle, if you have a sophisticated chip in your brain which is collecting those signals, it's wirelessly beaming them to a device such as a phone. and then it's being them across the internet and then beaming, somebody else's signals back to you. you can in principle, do things at the speed of thought without having to use your clumsy fingers typing stuff out and remain are, i may not, i am speechless. i don't know what to say. that is sound extremely impressive. but as you pointed out, we're not there yet. all right, thank you. thank you so much. great conversation. thank you. at least 12 people have died in haiti after gang members burned down houses near the capital violence of escalated since the assassination of president of an elmo, eas, last year at the unrest of cause the severe humanitarian crisis that's forced thousands to flee the country. cruel. one reports from all pass, i mean,

not in put a prince, they shield their eyes from the beating sun, but it is not the sun but come for them. let us hold up 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 patient population of a ww people faces acute hunger. we haven't you since yesterday we have nothing to drink. we are suffering, even our voice is gone. louise, wife and a child killed, others made quiet by the most 96000 people, displaced by gangs in the capital alone. these people have been displaced, not once, but twice. first, they fled gang violence in this allayed perhaps the most dangerous part of put a crown. they fled to the airport. and then what happened is the all star he's
8:27 pm
chased them out. so they came here to the city. or are you hoping to get something? what they think is a piece of paper from the paper is angry. neither food, no shelter has been forthcoming. others hand me this single document which a to the some where they did belong before the gang struck by that they started shooting. we had to jump in though. i mean, there was a lot of us, we had to one in highly doubt in wait for the right time to come. i could leave then they will see the capitals. he goes of his square, 3000 displaced, residence from the neighbourhood of city to lay where the united nations assesses 19000 people face catastrophic hunger. they camped on the squares concrete. well, i don't know what was the last time i had a problem because we've been living at the camp sleeping on the ground at night. it's freezing cold when it rained rain on us that was until authorities surrounded the square with a brand new fence and tossed them out. in a matter of hours,
8:28 pm
i asked when i was sleep tonight, i'm in the street in the suite. we have nowhere to go to sleep. the local administrator says the number seeking aid here of swelled because locals who aren't from seduce delay. so an opportunity for a handout, a young man still provides evidence of its own in this city, were up to $200.00 gangs of fighting for territory leading display citizens with nothing more than a scrap of paper to call their own. pres, one al jazeera, put a prince after a summer of record i, temperature as europe's farmers aren't getting a winter respite. the days are shorter, but the drought is continuing, especially in southern europe, and were simmons reports from romania? it may look like a common site. the world over but farming is changing drastically in romania with this year's sunflower harvest,
8:29 pm
devastated by drought. stefan marine is planning differently for the year ahead. his father villarille is giving up many traditional crops after his losses. there'll be no sun flowers, no call no weeks on this farm. so more shortages of staple crops, even higher prices are being replaced by crops, more resistant to drought. used to feed livestock, not people. i've and i listened. 3 are we have to focus on feeding animals because of climate change. you can't plant something that doesn't yield a profit in money. my mortgage, you don't need to look far to find people with stretched budgets who can't understand why local farmers aren't growing their food and a more portable eliza. my budget and car is no corn any more. the food is going to animals not ass. ready debbie celeste, thinking we have to think really hard now it's difficult enough, affording our bells and food has to come. second there's that's i shine or is to my
8:30 pm
the science of climate change in romania confirms another fear. the drought doesn't just last for the summer. it goes right through the seasons. we haven't brought during good then no a month from word the adult. well for during the login culture year. so we have problem especially with the spring across like a maze group in the south florida crop. it's milder weather and lower rainfall that are changing the seasons. farmers around here say there are only 2 seasons these days instead of for the summer and the winter, autumn this year in temperature terms only lasted a couple of weeks for as of yet and others capitalized on the lot. and bruce virile marine shows some evidence stunted sunflowers in bloom when temperatures should be sub 0. he and his son are slowly adapting, but climate change may well outpace them. andrew simmons al jazeera tele,
