mr. trump after creating the international climate of distrust and noncooperation around the pandemic? >> what share responsibility goes to trump. >> i'm not sure the question what is asking that all relay to the broader point. there is a argument that we have china cooperation prior to the pandemic a number of cdc officials out of china and ended public health cooperation of china and that led to the unraveling and we dug into that in the book and we talked to a lot of different political appointees and others and it tedidn't hold up because they dd withdraw some cdc officials and they were redeployed to uganda another cdc officials working on infectious disease the administration was trying to recap. the efforts. there the trump administration is not bringing the same but we did see greater problems and cooperated with the w.h.o. and news writing up to document those in years to covid were generally the biggest mistake to write was february of 2020, he could abuse that the making necessary investment. instead he felt that he did enough with the travel ban that he didn't need to do an

international community in is insistent on his name to back in the office. and if after lamb, luke is not back in the office. the question is whether mr. brown will be able to, at ease attaching industries and get their international support or not, remains unanswered. okay, thank you so much. i so side are, are with that update from cartoon. stella had announces here the u. s. is accused of covering up an air strike that kill dozens of civilians in syria. we'll have a day details coming up. and indians capital new delhi shuts down schools on construction sites. as it's air pollution worsens. ah hell i there will say charles becoming a little more y spread across central parts of the mediterranean over the next couple of days. i mean we do still have what remains of storm bloss worrying away about western side of the med. but as we go on through the next day, i'll say we will see that wet weather pushing over towards italy. he's in through sardinia and corsica, some showers to a little further north, sliding down across the low countries through germany, snow over the alps. quite a bit of that term for a time. there is that where to whe

so this international support is quite important for mr. wood hahn because my expert says that whether the military rule or the takeover will survive or not, it's going to be determined by the position of the international community. and haley lots in less than that to wrestle said a there for us in cotton. thanks. hi, mantresa. i still had here on out as in 3 white man accused of marrying a black man while he was out jogging, go on trial in the last state of georgia. ah. hello there, hope your weekends off to a good start right off the bat. we got to talk about this disturbance in the western mediterranean. some torrential rain for the bally. eric's sardinia and into corsica is while i think flooding real risk of seen it over the next few days. that band of rain also stretching across central areas of italy, right into rome, where we have seen flooding up in over the adrian c into croatia and also bosnia. so pretty much from dubrovnik to mo star, getting into some of this what whether further toward the east, the easter med think looking good here nicko see a 32 degrees that's 10 abov

he is now vice president for studies at the carnegie endowment for international peace. mr. weiss, thank you so much for joining us. what is vladimir putin up to and why is he doing it now? >> ukraine is the single most importance piece overunfinished business in vladimir putin's more than two decades as russia's leader. he bears the distinction of being a person who's lost ukraine twice. he lost it in 2014, in 2004, and he's sending a message right now which i think no one should underestimate that he is thinking about undoing the unstable cease fire that's been in place since the war 2014 and 20 is a was its bloodiest and he seems a smell an opportunity when the west is divided, when the biden administration has other priorities and russia has overwhelming military superiority. >> reporter: you say the distinction of lost it twice, but there's almost an emotional attachment for him, doesn't it? >> sure thing. so we tend to think of putin as this great chess master who's obviously very tactical, he's smart and very cunning. there's also a side of him which is quite emotiona

mr obama called for international cooperation to deal with climate change, saying the world has not doneal warming. he said he signed the paris accord six years ago to give the planet a fighting chance he discussed former president donald trump's decision to withdraw the u. s from that agreement. back in the united states. of course, some of our progress stalled when. my successor decided to unilaterally pull out of the paris agreement in his first year in office. i wasn't real happy about that. and yet. the determination of our state and local governments. along with the regulations and investment that my administration had already put in place allowed our country to keep moving forward. despite hostility from the white house. the 90 former president. obama also had a message for young people, telling them to stay active and involved. state senate delegation is in glasgow attending the united nations climate change conference. they say they hope to learn a lot about how to combat climate change emergencies and bring the issue back to the legislature for full consideration. we're figurin

taken to establish international safety standards for foreign pilots and how will you ensure pilots and airlines are complying with those standards? mr. dickson: great question. we have spearheaded the implementation of a pilot training and licensing panel at the international civil aviation organization. we did that about two years ago. the f.a.a.'s chief scientist for human factors is providing leadership as well as one of our top training subject matter experts, and that group continues to work to this day. we also take what we have done in the u.s. with upset prevention and recovery training which is required for u.s. carriers now and then we are promulgating that around the world. and as i said, i had several bilaterals with my latin american counterparts last week. we will work with them to help them implement the kinds of beneficial training improvements we've undertaken. senator klobuchar: you have a timetable for that? mr. dickson: it will be ongoing work. i think the next significant work is that the i.k.o. -- i.k.o. assembly coming up next august. but there will be work ongoing between now and then. senator klobuchar: in y

mr. trump have for creating the international, of mistrust and noncooperation around the pandemic?are in responsibility goes to trump? >> i'm not sure this is what it's asking but i'm going to say it anyway and then go to the broader part. the u.s. china cooperation, prior to the pandemic that trump pulled out a certain number of cdc officers in china and ended public health cooperation with china and that led to its unraveling, we dug into a lot of that in the book and servants and political appointees and others, they did withdraw some officials but they were associated and they were redeployed to uganda and there were other cdc officials, the relationship was negatively affected by the tiered deterioration and relations so to some extent, it might have been reacting to trump but wasn't really the result of the administration deliberately trying to recap the public health cooperation efforts so i think at large with beijing, trump administration is not but i think we did see greater problems and then cooperating with the who trying to document that the book in the years running u

mr. bigs out there. this is an international trafficking circle. you are a part of it. and in return for this will make it worth your while. i don't know if anybody's even made her a deal be and also let me also to talk talk about petty. she might be the only person in the history of american criminal justice who's being charged criminally with lying on this civil deposition. if we charge people for lying, a deposition, we need a separate court that ran 24 hours a day just to handle that. so this is case is bizarre. and you mentioned, where is she? i have received a picture. where is a booking photo? when john gotti rush, lemme anybody, anybody who's arrested tom delay, you name it. there is a phone photo and actual photo is where is it? whereas i can understand the court room, but this is, this whole thing is just bizarre. and by the way, to be store one thing, one day she says, i live in a rat infested hell hole in this jail. next day she shows up quaffed looking, elegant, resplendent in or out could tour, doesn't make any sense. you just blow your arguments as to how

could see in the days to come with the pressure of the street and the pressure of international community that, that, that mr. ham duke and the street in general, we be able to start imposing more and more of their own interpretation aware. so that needs to go next because for the time being, if we look at the document and if we look at what the general book hansard, that this is a thick an aquatic government, then certainly we are not on the right process. if the prime minister recognizing the sovereign council as if this is indeed in charge of the affairs of saddam and again, this is not a good thing. only if this is part of a process that basically started today, whereby the civilians will be taking more and more control of their furs the country. then perhaps sudan might, might be back on the truck towards something more democratic on our libya is enduring. prime minister has registered as a candidate in the upcoming presidential elections and bill how many of the of the maybe had vowed not to run to president as part of the conditions that got him the prime minister position. the countries election rule

could see in the days to come with the pressure of the street and the pressure of international community that, that, that mr. ham duke and the street. in general, we be able to start imposing more and more their own interpretation of where sudan needs to go next. because for the time being, if we look at the document, and if you look at what general han said that this is a technocratic government, then certainly we are not on that process. if the prime minister recognizing the sovereign council, as if this is indeed in charge of the affairs of saddam then again, this is not a good thing. only if this is part of a process that basically has started today, whereby the civilians will be taking more and more control of their 1st country. then perhaps sudan might, might be back on the track towards something more democratic as a by john is investing heavily and going to car back. it's not many years since a piece feel ended fighting with me in that contested region as a by john recaptured parts of it that were previously controlled by the neighbor. send him because he only has more now from truly this says as ou

mr. speaker, my only question is, why is it only national cheese toastie day? why is it not internationale toastie day? i hope very much that among its many other achievements, the cop26 summit will bring the entire global community to a better understanding of the wyke farms carbon-neutral cheese toastie. >> thank you, mr. speaker. the prime minister will be aware of the harm that the northern ireland protocol is doing to the political and economic stability of northern ireland and the very delicate constitutional balance created by the belfast or good friday agreement. in the command paper published by the government in july, they committed to addressing these issues and recognised that the protocol was simply not sustainable. does the prime minister accept that the conditions now exist to trigger article 16 of the protocol in the event that the current negotiations with the european union fail to arrive at an acceptable outcome? pm johnson: the right honorable gentleman is completely right, i i'm sad to say, in what he says. we are working hard to secure an agreement by negotiation, bu

so the streets and the international community without after law, me to the also prime minister after hambrick. it seems very difficult for mr. albert hand to get the support from the fleet or to is them down and to get the, the, to restore the international relations. and get the support of the international community, because a so far the you and the u. s. c and european union have been quite firm on the, on the on demand asking mr. han to immediate return back to the civilian government . had by mister after le hum to well, you can watch the full interview with sedans, general at the federal hon on talk to al jazeera in about 25 minutes time. right. at the end of this bulletin on earlier we got reaction from my head and about who's from the sudanese professionals association. and she says that the military cannot be trusted to facilitate a smooth transition to a civilian. let government. well, if he says he will not be part of the future government, he might well step out of the picture right now. what's keeping him from stepping out of the picture. we've heard such promises from previous dictators with such promises in d
