w, we've got some hot tips for your bucket list, the magic corner. hot spot for food, and some great help for the mortals to boot the w travel off we go. the me. ah, this is the w news and neither are top stories. neither leaders meeting in brussels have called out china is rising influence as a systemic challenge to the global order. the message is in line with us president joe biden's efforts to get allies to stand up to china's authoritarian policies. nato chief, the shelton bag says the alliance agrees that beijing ambitious and assertive behavior are concerning, but stressed. nato doesn't see china as an enemy. the british prime minister boars

johnson has announced a 4 week delay to plan to lift most corona virus restrictions in england. he says caution is needed because of a surge in new cases of the highly transmissible delta variance. johnson says the delay should give time to administer millions more vaccines and save many lives. philippines, president rodrigo do saturday, could soon find his war on drugs. the subjects of a probe at the international criminal court, that's after the chief prosecutor requested authorization to open a full investigation. she says the detective regimes killings of more than $6000.00 suspected drug dealers could amount to crimes against humanity. this is g w. news. you can find much more on our website at g, w dot com the oh with, if you ask leaders across europe, which country poses the greatest danger?

many will say russia just as they have done for decades. but if you post the same question to nato, the answer you're receive will be russia and china. today, for the 1st time in its history, nato said that it is worried about trying is growing, military might in natives communicate issue today, china is not referred to as a threat, but it is clear when native looks at beings plans for the future. what it sees is without question, a threat. i break off in berlin. this is the day the i'm not looking for conflict with russia, but we will respond to russia continues as far collectivity in one hand, we need to turn on defense on the other hand. so i love very important russia and china are both seeking to drive

a wedge in our transatlantic solidarity. china is arrival in many issues and china is also a partner and many other issue. we will not fail to defend the threads. lanika lions were stand up for democratic values also coming up, israel has a new government and a new prime minister and a new foreign policy. and this is apparently very important for democrats in the united states. just listen to israel's new foreign minister. i probably, county, the republicans are important to us but not just then, as he well known, we are facing a democratic whitehouse, a democratic senate, and a democratic congress. the mccarthy when these democrats angry and we need to change and we work with them to this level done with the to our he was on p b. s. in the united states into all of you around the world. welcome. we begin the

day with nato and china today for the 1st time in its history, the north atlantic treaty organization put in writing. what many of its members have been saying for years. people are worried over and aggressive china and the end of a one day summit in brussels, native release. they communicate that without labeling china. a threat describes china as one you as president joe biden has been lobbying us allies, including native to stand up to shine as aggressive tact nato secretary general hinge don't big said today that while the alliance does not see china as an enemy, it is concerned about asians and bishops and assertive never seen behavior. this is definitely a policy when for president biden, because many of nato's european members have had a very different experience with b g than washington has had. germany's export economy relies heavily on ties with the world's 2nd largest economy. today, german transfer uncle american chose not to focus on the complex relationships, but rather on the clear and obvious threats from china such as cyber attacks. you

know, 3 vala infuse. china is arrival in many issues and at the same time, also a partner in many issues. we made that clear at the g 7 yesterday. i think it's really important that we offer china, the china for political discussions and to find solutions like we do with russia. but when the threats are still there, also these hybrid threat nato has to be ready for the dominant, even of not to give up and say, if a more analysis dale i'm joined by and what kind of fun fits from the german marshal fund of the united states, he's also the deputy director, the paris office. it's good to have you on the program. i mean, making it official that china is a worry that could not have been easy for all nato members. do you agree with that?

well, there's been a convergence of perception, both among policy leaders and among the populations on both sides of the atlantic for more than a year. now that china is indeed the challenge of system a challenge to europe and north america. and the need to some came as a completion of a long process that led to the communicate. i would say though, that if you look at their community, they are basically 2 paragraphs that deal with china. one that declares that china use this to make sure the competitor and other one well the possibility to engage china on issues where cooperation is possible and climate change being one of them . so the community remains quite valid on the way allies can, can engage with try and in the future. i mean, if you look at what is coming out, especially in this communicate, does it, does it mean they're going to be tangible changes to what nato does mean? can we talk about tangible changes coming because of this?

i think the criminal case is in very mentioned continued t to what has been said before. if you look again at the number of times china has been mentioned, it's basically 2 paragraphs rush i mentioned in more than a dozen paragraphs. so, thinking that china has somehow replaced russia as the main threat to the lighting is full and not relevant at this point. what is very important, what happened today, the confirmation that in the coming year need to will work on a new strategy concept at the last one dating from training 10. and so this new strategy concept will, in a way, define this tragic environment in which the alliance operates today and define the relationship i have with china. in the coming year will be when a potential changes will be made. we are heard in just the last couple of hours from the us president saying that em, ukraine has to clean up its act, get rid of corruption. if he wants to become

a member of nato. but the u. s. president did say if it wants to become a member of nato, are you surprised by that state? again, i think we have mentioned continue to, to what we, what has been said before. the communicate re state the fact that the need to wants to welcome to georgia crane. i've made 2 members one day but that they are steps to be filled before that happens. so coming back to the need to send me to an aide, i don't think this has changed. fundamentally, i should say also that this is the decision. need the consensus among allies, and we don't have the conferences today, so i wouldn't read too much in what has happened over the past hour or so about ukraine's membership. do you see that there is no consensus regarding ukraine? do you see this as possibly an attempt by the ukranian president zelinski to put pressure on the u. s. president to help bring his country into native

i think obviously the ukrainians are very much in favor of accelerating this this membership process. and knowing that there is an important meeting between the prism and vitamin presume putting in 2 days now. this is also a bomb and to affirm ukraine's desire to enter the alliance. but looking again only had to communicate and prism by them. a response is to to the questions during the press briefing, i think we should remain quite cautious. martin unsafe and the german marshal point of the united states. joining us tonight in paris. we appreciate your time and your insights tonight. thank you. thank you. oh, i think, you know, we need more back. she's just a fraction of the world's population has been vaccinated. we need vaccines to go globally, particularly in low and middle income countries or vaccine is uniquely suited for that because the stable at refrigerated normal refrigerator temperatures. and that

will help that was stanley ur, the ceo of the u. s. company novak which today reported that its cobit 19 vaccine clinical trials have shown a 100 percent efficacy rate and preventing moderate or severe coven. 19 the novak vaccine could be a game changer, but not in the united states. it's like the astrazeneca vaccine only requires normal refrigeration, making transport and storage easier, especially in poor countries. unlike astrazeneca, there have been no scares with the side effects. for more now, i'm joined by helen clark. she is the former prime minister of new zealand and co chair of the independent panel for pandemic preparedness and response into the w h o cobit 19 response. ms. clark is good to have you on the program. you are an outspoken supporter of an equitable distribution of the corona virus vaccine for

everybody on the planet. today's news from nova acts is this a step in your opinion, in the right direction? will it provide more equality if you will? well, it is exciting, and let's face it in the very bleak times with pandemic. one of the highlights has been science are rising to the occasion to bring vaccines to us as a record speed understand low of x has yet to go through the w h o approval process . but what we're hearing is promising and, and to the menu of acceptable and faxing that are now on offer to help fix the world. and we get the impression that novak's is now being sold as the new astrazeneca vaccine. we know that astrazeneca the vaccine was supposed to be the work course vaccine for kovacs, forgetting people in poor countries vaccinated. but there are so many concerns

about astrazeneca. now, do you see novak's as being the redeemer here? as us, i, it needs to go through its w h o approval processes and i wouldn't want to really compare one with another. it's beyond my expertise. but i think the more approach vaccines that we have, a greater chance is of reaching that target. the w h o is now sick of having 70 percent of the world's population vaccinated by the time of the next g 7 song next june. you tweeted a couple of days ago that the g seven's curve in 1900 vaccine pledge was and i'm quoting here too small to slow and to narrow. why? well that, that was a direct quote from us financial times a report, but i think generally reception that the outcome his head is that it's been a disappointing look. it's in the right direction, releasing more doses,

looking to support scale the manufacturing. but, but the need is now, if we look at the $70000000.00 doses, which g 7 pledged, the countries would supply by sometime the next year. with that, that's not enough. l panel called for a 1000000 to be risk redistributed by september of this year and another 1000000000 by mid next year. now of course, there are other high income countries from the g 7, but the g 7 of the big ones, a big population get companies. and they were, of course, they expected the stump up rather more than the $70000000.00 doses in the year. i repeat, we need 70 percent of the global population vaccinated by mid next year. this huge concern at w a show about the slowness of vaccination, and the potential then for more and more challenging variance to be coming out and undermining of the limited success of the vaccine. rollouts of your panel

has also called for the establishment of a new global health threats council to be created by the un general assembly and to be led by heads of state and government. it's designed is, as i read here, it should secure political commitment to pandemic. preparedness and response, and it should also hold stakeholders to account. do you have any, any progress to report on that? the global health friends council, which the panel recommended this getting favorable mentions in communication, in including in the g 7 in a recent day. so there is a lot of interest in how you bring over all accountability and political momentum to pandemic preparedness response. what our panel was really worried about was when, at some point we get past the spend, then it will hold issue of preparedness or response to skill on the back burner. again, this must not happen. we can expect more threats like covered night in to be coming

down the track f us, particularly with the increasing emergence of these animal human transmission diseases. so we have to strike while we on toss and put in place an infrastructure like such an oversight council, which will keep the momentum. now. the g 20 has a high level task force. also looking at such issues, marian multi is leading the commission for the european origin of w h o. they also have ideas. so we're talking about now souls about where ideas will converge. but bottom line, we need a global accountability making this year. you say strike while the iron is hot. the last week i was in the united states. and once you leave the airports, they are in many places. it's as if there had never been a pandemic. how worried are you that the success of the vaccines will lead to their

simply being less pressure on governments in the you went to prepare for the next pandemic? well, personally, i'm very worried and i think we should look at the northern hemisphere somehow with some apprehension, lawson over here hemisphere. some people went kinda crazy and holland party and that lead to another is so serious, awful waves of, of cobra. now let's face it, in many countries on all the industry. we know when the most countries having 2 doses of vaccine. so this creates opportunities, these more transmissible. they're like the still to there and just in to be 67 percent more trends than the, the fair, the wind before that this is not mr. areas, and this is what w, i chose stress, we need more vaccines roll help. now we can't delay till next year. the time is now to try and risk us. otherwise,

we're going to be living with appendix phase of this disease. for far too long and a great cost to human life and health. helen clark, former prime minister of new zealand, and co chair of the independent panel for condemning preparedness in response to the w h. as cobra, 1900 response is clark. it was an honor to have you on the show. we appreciate your time and your insights tonight. thank you. the it was day one on the job for israel's new coalition government today. after winning sundays razor it's invoked al a long time prime minister benjamin netanyahu, his replacement ultra nationalist of probably been now leads a fragile alliance of 8 parties. and he's promising a fresh start for whom you may ask. we'll try the democrats in the united states. we have this report, the faces of israel's new governmental, incoming prime minister, natalie bennett,

and he's coalition assembled after seats in the veteran benjamin netanyahu. us president joe biden cold prime minister bennett on sunday to wish him well israel wants to refresh the relationship following the recent change of administration in washington. i probably got a, you know, there's now a democratic white house senate and house, and those democrats angry. we need to change the way we work with them because last night i spoke with secretary of state antony blink. and we both possible and imperative to build relations based on a mutual respect and better dialogue back holes to germany, france and the e. u. the new bennett lead government still faces the old tensions with the palestinians. who welcome netanyahu's departure, but see the new israeli leadership as hardly different nor learn out there. we don't consider the new government to be any better than its predecessors when we condemned the announcement by the new prime minister miss tally bennett, of support for settlement activity. and we reiterate that our people will continue

to confront those settlement attempts that were made by his predecessor and let the amount us to her cell a full. i love the the previous as the did not immediately take in some implications of the human to change that on a after 12 years at the helm, benjamin netanyahu needed to be reminded that the prime minister seat was no longer his show. but he's already plotting his return to power but we have a very strong opposition, unlike any other in the past. around 53 committed members may be more in certain situations, united and determined to bring down dangerous left, waned, and fraudulent governments, which will fall quickly. after voting in 4 inconclusive elections in under 2 years is really divided over the new government events. and now i believe in

this government, and i know it was formed from serious motive to make a change here. and it will be here for a long time. is there any money now? she's a little savage. i met you may be hard to say that there's nothing new under the sun, all corrupted on both sides. if they prove otherwise, i'll believe them any, but they all did the same trick as netanyahu. and i know i saw somebody gayly. israel political climate remains shaky. a huge challenge for the new administration from the get go. well, my next guess is we'll place to talk about the historic change of government in israel is the author of the book, jews, and palestinians in the late ottoman era. wait 914, claiming the homeland. i'm happy to welcome to the day professor lewis fishman, historian and author. he joins us tonight from new york city professor. it's good to have you on the program. i'd like to start where you are the united states and

the democrats. what do you make of this promise, israeli charm offensive targeting democrats? well, i think that, i think, 1st of all, i think what's most important about this new government is they're not gonna be reaching out to democrat. they've been reaching out to the overwhelming amount of american jews who vote for democrats. i think this is going to be lining with again the democrat party with, with the large amount of jews that actually vote for them over the last 4 years before you're doing the truck and nothing. you know, sort of the very lim, community of republicans and evangelicals. much to the dismay up the american jewish community. so i think they're working on repairing relations, not just with washington, but also with the american jewish community, including the reform community. that is the largest community that exist today in united states. so i think that they're going to have their challenges, but they're coming with a really open mind. they're coming to listen and not to dictate. and i think that's

an important change. now on the iran is not going to be a major at different years. that in coming for a minute or has already express disappointment with the former erotic agreement with us the run agreement. but once again i stress that there are coming to listen and not like nothing. you know who was dictating policy much dismiss many democrats . well, i mean, when we're looking at is really foreign policy with united states. are we talking about the antidote for the net yahoo effect or is this the answer to i'm for the trump effect? well, i actually think the 2 go together. that's the way it's not been, you know, i've been able to maneuver between the different leaders, but no democratic leader has been happy with nothing. you know, they've been with them. but they did not have a common language, i would say. and now the 1st time i certainly don't want to be in going to find,

i think, a very warm welcome here in the united states is not by chance that they receive calls from, from, from, by the, from lincoln yesterday. so i do think that there is going to be a welcome, the welcome change in the united states, seeing the new government and once again knowing that they are bit younger my experience, i have not been on the same token that might find a really nice welcoming a carpet here for them in united states as well. and considering what has happened in the last few weeks as well as the last 2 years. and i'm talking about what's happened between israel and hamas. one could expect a new israeli government to say publicly, we want to improve relations with the palestinians. but that's not what we're hearing. so what does that tell you? you know, i think we have to get this government, you know, a 100 days of grace period. there is no doubt the for the overwhelming majority

constantly and not much is going to change in the ground in the next few months. but i think with every passing day that the government succeeds in creating some stability, that too is going that door is going to be open. we know now how they've been in it's far right. and we're not expecting much change. but certainly that, that slide, the slide to authoritarianism that nothing y'all is bringing the country was one very detrimental to the future of the country itself. i think it really is. and even been in need to understand that it might take a few years. i would imagine that if you month to year getting back on track. if the government last more than a year, it's hard to say in my room, month or 2 months. what do you think? what really if there's any military confrontation, being that this is the in store, a government that also has ref representation, the palestinians in the state, their 20 percent,

that they there is now in the wrong family party in the government. so we're going to have to wait and see, but i do think there is a reason to believe that they are serious in making it work. if that happened, there can be the magic change over the next 6 months, 6 months, a year. i would say, well, we're going to be a better transformation of what's happening on the ground. also for palestinians. that by no means doesn't mean that there's going to in the occupation or anything like that. but i think it really is, are coming to the conclusion that this, you know, what, nothing, you know, brought to nothing. you rather me use the peace and quiet them a group rate may didn't lose it as if the as if the conflict did the period that there was no conflict before the jews with a low maintenance conflict. for the palestinians, every mean the high maintenance conflict and we saw what happened last month. and

that was really, it really was, i opened the conflict, it's still there and they do need to go back the negotiation out about this. new government is led by a man, as you say, who is more to the right the netanyahu? is that a true reflection of the israeli people? well, i think overall, let's face it. if not been, you know, i had stepped down, there could have been a right when government of 70 so that the reality is that the israeli right has been strengthened under nothing. you know, but nothing, you know, was great at doing one thing didn't mind being the left and the internet. and i really think that if this government succeeds, people like we see the labor party, the merits party, and all the palestinians in the state. they are also gaining legitimacy, who the government, so we're going to have to see and actually my government led,

ironically, led by our fire right now was, might give the less time to reorganize and to build their base again. ok, the efficient historian and author joining us tonight from new york city, mr. fish. we appreciate your time and your insights tonight. thank you. thank you. of the day is always done. the conversation continues online. you'll find us on twitter either. at the w news, you can call me at brent golf t v. and remember whatever happens between now and then, tomorrow is another day we'll see. you then use ah, the news?
