government should certainly not be a funding co projects at this point, but there is still a controversy about the whole area of coal. for instance, you know, the phase out of coal, coal fired power stations, even in western countries, we couldn't easily afford the alternatives, is happening much more slowly in countries like, for example, germany than many campaigners would like. but i think the message here is also a little bit aimed at china because one of the bones of contention over china is belts and road initiatives. this big infrastructure project around the world is that that project is still pumping money into coal fired power stations. even here and european polls in for example, there's a coal fired power station, big construct with chinese money there. so i think this is also a little bit of a dig, a china in, you know, in big projects around the world, that money's extra money should not be going into coal. and your rates are now the us presidents made another ambitious statement. let's take a listen. and we also agreed to take important steps are going to support global

economic recovery by laying the foundation for an equitable global economy. critically g 7 leaders endorsed a global minimum tax of 15 percent. still many corporations and engage the letter, essentially tax havens deciding that they would pay considerably less and other in other environs around the world. and, but there's going to make sure there's a minimum tax and i'm going to have, i'm going to move on this at home as well. minimum tax for corporations to pay for the proper se, make anywhere in the world. so richard, very, very ambitious. like i said earlier, is that achieve? well, this is, this goes to the heart really, if i think what joe biden wants to achieve through his, his kind of renewed and engagement with, with western allies to show to the world that when the west unites, it can then take converted to an effective action to deal with things that people perceive is unfair. you know, the fact that many of the big, you know,
5:05 pm
the big attack jives pay very, very low rates of tax because they're able to move their profits to, to jurisdictions which have low rates of tax stations. but this is the sort of thing where the devil will really be in detail this already debate about whether certain types of companies in certain sectors would be exempt from each country. thinking about, okay, well we protect our countries in this way. so really the follow through this is going to be something's really to watch very closely and also have the rest of the world responds because it's all very well for the g 7 to take certain actions if the rest of the world doesn't felicity. and that's also going to get food, but feel it's an initiative this getting a lot of attention and being welcomed around the world, an important step. definitely an important one. but the baggage, if you can hear me, let's talk about the medical g praise. the cooperative stands from joe biden on climate. how much of a difference has biden's presence at the g 7 meet for the chemistry between the lead us i think it has made
5:06 pm
a huge difference when uncle america was talking about joe biden. you could basically hear the relief and her voice that she said that the, you know, values are back. multilateralism as back so you can really send the relief that she and most of the leaders have probably as well have felt that somebody is who actually wants to engage and work with them and not work against them. because overall, of course, the, one of the overarching games of, of the some, it would have been to, to present the west as united. again, undo, present the what chris's liberal democracies as an attractive model for the rest of the world. as vision has eluded, not everything is picked pathic, there are tension, for example, over brags. it has been quite some harsh words here over the summit. but generally that for boys johnson, i think he will have seen this success. the images are beautiful,
5:07 pm
sunshine and to top quite beat says that talk with water in cornwall and, and the lead us united over a barbecue. so i think the host and most of the other leaders will see this as a success. so, begging still on you, we saw a point that exchanges between you leaders on various johnson, yesterday of a breck that has this summit hat or held to the you case relationship with you. i don't think there is a real shift here because in the summer basically has shown where the full line saw and you've seen exchanges that actually even over the course of the summer got shop or and shop in particular when it comes to the front. so president crawl was quite scathing in his criticism of the u. k. over this contentious issue of, of northern ireland and the border controls. and there is definitely,
5:08 pm
there is definitely a problem and it's being clear that the u. k. and the you are not on the same side . johnson macklin holmes ross, i think to president chrome being a bit more conciliatory. and it said that it's really important that the u. k and d, u all the same page and really have to be trusted partners. and that she was looking for some pragmatic solutions, but the solutions have not been found yet. and that definitely haven't been found that the summit picking up on dogs to summit us and that can be said that any meaningful agreement has been reached. well, i think that have been quite interesting steps. you know, we've, we've talked about some of the proposals that come out, we'll have to see how they're implemented. like we said about the tax proposal. i think there's some disappointments among many observers about, about climate, about not being enough kind of nice on the bone in that. i think joe biden, though, you know, this is his debut trip abroad. the 1st of 3 very important summaries with his allies before he then goes, meets his rifle,
5:09 pm
vladimir putin in geneva on wednesday. i think he'll be going to the next sunday scene in brussels on monday night. so with a bit of a spring in his step, i think he'll be quite pleased about the language that he got into the communique about china, for instance. you know, this kind of big perception that he has that america's rivalry, the west rivalry with china is really the defining issue of the next 10 or 20 years . you know, a lot of that made it into the final statement that communicate the g 7. that's still something that's happened in the past. so i think he'll be quite pleased. we'll see what happens at nato and the european union. but i think also joe barton will be starting to think forward already. so he's meeting with let me put in a wednesday as could be a very different tone. we'll be covering that closely here. ok, which is walker beg mass. thank you. now is there a parliament is convenient to vote on a new government? the outcome is suspect that the mark the end of an era where the gates and prime minister benjamin netanyahu into a of 12 years in office. a disparate coalition of parties promise and is only
5:10 pm
a new start. after 2 years of political turmoil, the breakthrough in israel long political stalemate came about 10 days ago. nestali bennett and pete managed to form a broad coalition without israel a long time prime minister benjamin netanyahu. it was the hard line, right winger, nestali bennett, become prime minister 1st followed after 2 years by centrist politicians. now the new government needs to be confirmed by a confidence vote in the method israeli parliament after 4 inconclusive national elections and constant political turbulence, israelis hope for an end to this endless election cycle. and for a functional government, i really hope so. i really feel like it represents the many varieties that are in israel right now, and i'm very happy that we're going to have
5:11 pm
a government that it's not only one side the political mass, quite confused, not very helpful. i understand the significant achievement, but i wish the government would have been form 6 months ago with more progressive. how soon in parties and jewish parties, it will be one of the most unusual coalition governments, israel, as seen in recent years from the hard line right to the center left. they have little in common, but the aim to our benjamin netanyahu look so that all of these parties together. this is a new thing, a very wide coalition. and they have a lot of differences in terms of foreign affairs and security in terms of the economy in terms of religious and religion and state in any term that you have in mind. the government also has the unusual support of an arab islamic party. the small round party made greater involvement in domestic politics
5:12 pm
a key election promised. suddenly electra now we have we lose being in position and yelling when the lifeline is not the problems of our air line learn to home. and therefore, we have decided to challenge another home ahead and say him benjamin netanyahu. and his li could party as well as the alter orthodox block, or heading to the opposition bench for now, that is once the new government is finally confirmed. jumping straight into sports, danish football, kristen erickson is in stable condition in the hospital after he collapsed on the page. doing denmark cps championship match against finland. medical crew gave me fill that chest compressions and able to save him. allison, lead, tactful. play to resume and that teams returned to the field. then mike went on to

5:14 pm
with eyes open as he was, stretch it off the pitch. while his treatment continued in hospital, the decision was made to resume the match. the consensus from the danes. better to get it over with immediately and come back the next day. they say got erickson's backing from his hospital badge. one knew the feet, essentially just the footnotes and shoot them at the end. and there's no doubt that this is a tough night. but in having to leave this way, everything, everything, every single thought is with christian and his family in there. he's one of the best players out there. and i can say that these and even better person, see if it was later, a bad side vitriol of so outside the hospital where erickson being treated, he says to be in a stable condition and undergoing tests his football career may hanging in the

5:20 pm
he passed the entry no matter what sort of a man all of a sudden himself, on fire. most of the other one loves the nestle mohammed bull as easy, doused himself with gas to lean in front of the government building. in an act of desperation, the doctors were unable to save him. he died after spending 18 days in a coma piano. it would have been with them to hack with this sort of them from the stuff that of web with the sherry that mohamad was easy, like many of his generation had been unable to find a steady job. he was just 26 years old. his death sent shock waves through tunisia

5:25 pm
a lot of people before that it was not possible to act and express yourself so quickly to broadcast and live to film and share videos the be the protests of earlier years had been crushed by the regime. but this time that wouldn't succeed, explains isabella veron, fez, a specialist on margaret, the region of north africa. the anger and mobilization were very much facilitated by social media. there were also attempts to prevent it by shutting down the internet and they ultimately failed the. the activists documented the police violence on facebook the regime could no longer win the war of images. that protested the 1st act, what intensified these protest?
