jonah and speaking of contentious debate, the plan to reset where i can reckon geez, in the u. k. a big theme of that because a lot of people saying those plans simply don't go far enough. well, in a sense this is the only thing that the u. k can do in the aftermath and that he's tried to provide some assistance to refugees. those most vulnerable and in need, particularly focusing on women and girls, the government has announced this resettlement scheme. it says it's the most generous resettlement scheme in british history. it will make up a lot of the substance of debate in parliament today. 20000 afghans will be resettled in this country in the next 5 to 7 years with 5000 coming in the 1st year . women and children in particular, as i said. but already the criticisms are building up. it simply doesn't go far enough. it's not urgent enough, it's not ambitious enough. $5000.00 in the 1st year and the circumstances of immediate threat is appallingly slow and too low and number. say critics where countries like i've kind of started taking 20000 pretty much straight away. and i think

jonah whole here in edinburgh with the creative arts just emerging from the pandemic, are turning their attention towards the next big crisis of our time. ah, ah, it's time for the journey to winter sponsored my cattle airways. hello, there is more wet weather on the way for china and japan as we look to east asia. you can see the intense cloud cover behind me on that satellite image and that thanks to the may you front. that's pushing pockets of torrential rain from central areas of china along to the eastern coast and on to japan. so we are expecting some really financial down ports for shanghai over the coming days. but not only here, for those of central and southern areas of japan, we have got alerts for possible landslides, mud slides because of flash flooding. and it's not only this area, it's also going to be the korean peninsula that sees some of that, whether whether we have seen flooding in north korea, we could see more of that as that rain continues to fall. you can see those yellow peaks showing the really heavy rain to come. now was moved to south asia. it hadn't been as

jonah hall has been following events, joins me lives. what are the europeans be saying about this? we've heard in the last hour or so from the leaves of france and germany, the 2 sort of preeminent powers in the you will be at counseling merkel, is on her way out in an election at the end of next month. so we'll look at france 1st. president micron giving an address in which he warns rather bluntly that islamist terrorists, he said we'll try to take advantage of the deteriorating situation and i've got to stand. he says, the country cannot again be allowed to become a safe haven for terrorists. as it once was, he says that france will work to bring russia into the fold to try and align russia with us if you interested a common approach, believing there is a common base of interest there. russia, of course, not involved in the nato mission for 20 years. it's gone its own way in the last few days. it's kept, it's embassy open. it's diplomatic presence. it is meeting the taliban on tuesday. so an increasingly important player in what comes next to chancellor merkel, she confined her c

jonah how al jazeera london, he was president says he disagrees with the world health organizations warning against giving for a virus booster shots. joe biden says his government is capable of looking after its own citizens and helping the world at the same time. his comments come off to the white house, unveiled plans to offer booster jobs from mid september. people will be eligible, 8 months after receiving their 2nd job. notice some world leaders who say america shouldn't get a 3rd shot until other countries got their 1st shot. i disagree. we can take care of america and help the world the same time. in june and july, america administered 50000000 shots here in the united states. and we donated a 100000000 shots to other countries. that means that america is donated more vaccine to other countries than every other country in the world. combined. new zealand has reported 11 new cases of co, with 1900, taking its total to $21.00. the government announced the 3 day lockdown from tuesday when the 1st case was announced before this week. new zealand had seen no local infections for almost 6

we discussed these new measures, republican strategies, karen jonah, who says they're in 7th by biden, to shift attention away from his own political salinger's. i think it has a lot to do with the chaos that's evolving in afghanistan and elsewhere. this is, this is the only president of the united states who, within 6 or 7 months of taking office has created and is responsible for to humanitarian crisis, is one in our southern border and one in afghanistan and a national security crisis as well. and is just looking for an opportunity to blame others. so if, if you see his foreign policy shifts, which are quite chaotic from supporting the international initiatives with nato and afghan in to, to support it now the, the pipeline, the north stream pipeline. and now doing a reversal with regard to sanctions, it's messy, it's chaotic, but it's, it's not uncommon with this particular president. and it's unfortunate because i don't like sitting here criticizing a u. s. president over international foreign policy at all, but he deserves it. well, those are the main lines for this, our state s

jonah ha, looks at the roll. art and artists have played is covered 19 spread across the globe. when frederick douglas fled for his life from the deep south. it was across the atlantic in edinburgh that he found sanctuary. 11 days and a half gone and i have cross 3000 miles of the paris, named instead of the bright blue sky of america. i'm covered with soft gray fog at the city's festival of art lessons of the hour of film by isaac, julian tells the story of the former slave and abolitionist. i think the thing that most striking about the, about the work is in some ways it's very much based on the words of frederick douglas that were written in the 1800s. but what is so powerful is the way that those words ring home to us today that there's still the ongoing fight for justice for equality. the theme of minority rights continues at the talbot rice gallery, where the normal features works by 12 artists based on events during the pandemic, the artist initial really reflected the political social, the environmental surroundings that they found themselves within and the work that the
