u. k, u. s in australia are not sending government delegates to february's games and paging in protests that china's human rights record. athletes from all 4 countries will still be able to compete. oh, i'm and the way you lie a horrible. i thought it's the same with their officials, come or not. they will see the success of the beijing when her lympics sports has nothing to do with politics or you, you lympics as a grand of it for athletes and sports fans. not a stage for politicians to perform. the united states, australia, britain refused to sign the beijing winter olympics. you in general assembly olympic truce resolution. and they wrote, directed and performed the fos not sending officials to attend. they are standing on the opposite side of the olympic family where you museum and is unveiled one of the wild, toughest crackdowns on smoking, banning young people from ever buying cigarettes. a legal smoking age will rise year by year, so that by 2027 and you on the aged 14 or younger will never be legally able to buy cigarettes. critic say the band could boost the black market though, while smoking is the leading cause of death, unusual and killing more than $4000.00 people each year. and till now, the government's focused on increasing taxes on cigarettes to make them on affordable. 10 years ago, pack of $25.00 cost about 11 dollars last year it was $28.00. smoking rates have fallen in recent years. but about 13 percent of the adult population still smokes, and the right is much higher for the indigenous indigenous. maori people at 28 percent under the government's plan, a task force would be created to help reduce smoking among the mary. much right now there's a lot of youngsters walking around, smokes enough in regards to getting the smudges. also myself to save more money than i in the people. so one might, well they can just try the right, which i think maybe it's a good idea because it's, you know, they smoke it and it's really hard to quit. so being a smoker, you know, and going for all this i, i know that. so maybe it's a good thing. look, i shiver all in new zealand, associate health minister and says, vapor is not included in this new law because it's considered a safe alternative to cigarettes very strongly that in that tobacco is an extremely handful and addictive substance. and yet the evidence will have on pipes is fairly bad. definitely a cipher old finished. so we're taking a reduction approach by banning to that price will future generations, but making sure for currents market to quit. right. since an alternative $4000.00 new zealand just died each year from tobacco, and we might take action on it. what made a lot of progress, the cause of that regulation, restating what allow invite to the quit. so we made the biggest decrease we had in history in watching, right the last year on. so we think that might freak out is within reach a european population, as is seek to make it as i reach that goal, as we need to take bold action to make sure all parts of the community and because we're not prepared to pass the community behind coming up on the news, we've got all your sports needs with jenna. yes. plenty on the way, including a stun wanting from formula one officials. i had a this weekend and championship decide to stay with us where live from our special, our cup studio in doha. ah with with me a whole ah a bankruptcy a company. this is ours is era live from off special studio during the fee for our cup on debit ass. quentin sports. he's coming out. we'll tell you. he secured the final spot in the last 16 if the champion lea, a warning for size arrivals louis hamilton of miss because f one challenges decider . a c have a sent treat from travis head, helps australia to take a commanding, laid over england in the ashes. and as a mom prepared for the arab cut course and final, we speak to them based on famous player, former goalkeeper. allie, i'll happy with more on the hard copy shortly. but we start with formula one, match the staffing and do as hamilton have been warned, had of that championship shut down on sunday. it could be stripped of points for driving in an unsportsmanlike manner. the path collided 3 times this season, and the staff in particular has been criticized for his uncompromising style that level in the drive his championship heading into the final race and abby, debbie that the staff and has more wins. so he would take the title if they both have failed to school points, it's happened in the past, obviously, and i think it's, i'm sure the, the shoots hadn't, haven't done taken the, the, the precautions they have this time around. and, and so i think that's, i think that's fair, that they, they do it. i mean, i know what's in the spawning code. so i think nobody needs to be really reminded of that. and i think they can put it in every single race weekend. i mean, there's nothing new newly added. i can't control those things around me. i will, i can do is control what i what i do in terms of preparation and, and al, conduct myself off the last year. i didn't have a lot of hope that we will be sitting here, you know. busy end of end of the season fighting for a title, but i think from the start, you know, we were very competitive. it just feels i cannot accomplish it for me. i don't, i don't look at it as a, as a multiple, always look at every season and every year as you start from ground 0 and you're fighting hunter and you're fighting from, from the moment you start training. as you get into the new years and your training, the focused on a winning overall, you know, we can be really proud of the whole team effort to be, to be sitting here and fighting for this title. i remember cycle. so the fear for us. so i know had those experiences and the roller coaster of emotions that you go through. putnam's permanent match against bryce and on sunday has been postponed due to the current of ours out records, which is c 8 of the players test positive. another game that was called off wednesdays and champions the match between after lunch via that was due to having it was played on that instead of the place. and the knockout phase out state for the winner fair out with seemingly creasing 3 in a lab. but after lunch at school, twice to assess up the finish, the spanish side held on. so when a 3 c and secure back and forth from the grades behind manchester, united for a quarter finals. as the thief, i've caught in castle again on friday. we were joined here in the studio by former oman goalkeeper. i'll have the and he spoke to pieces that it's about which country he thinks will lift the trophy. from the start, i said that i gypped algeria too. nicea and morocco. busy this, this for teams. i think they have some good quality players for me. this one of them, it will be, you know, it can be in there are 2 of them did. it will be in the fido. you spoke about the host nation covered and obviously the, the home fans. that's always something we see that in football all over the world of a host nation, things to do well in competition. just looking at the team at the moment. how well do you think cover can do next year? because obviously they would be one of the lower ranked teams. i think for cut out . i didn't think so. to be easy for commissioner team, you know, to play for the world golf. but i think the already, i guess we said before the have some good quality players and they have played a lot of friends, good friendly games in europe had in asia. and as a player, you know, wouldn't be played like it was a very big push for themselves. you know, the found themself. they have something you know, to, to come before the world cup for this competition for outcome. even that for, for them is something good. you know, to play home before the work up with their own fines. even this competition is not only just 4 categories. we see a lot of fos from the out of countries. it was, it was something that was great to see, you know, and when we see the game between a g area and a chipped with nearly 4 stadium, you know, nearly 40000 people. it sure how is important to be some good competition here in this areas of competition out a region you know is, is, is very big. the, you were one of the most famous phil or one of the most famous football is to come from this region. but most certainly from oman, and often what happens is when there is a player who sort of break that barrier, there'll be other youngsters that then come through the system. but maybe at the moment it's free to say that they aren't really any famous on the play is playing in europe or any of the big league. is that something that disappoints you? and secondly, how would you say that could be maybe fixed? you know, of course, that disappointed me, you know, because i would love to see some money and just to be, to show them cell phone to, to play with the big, big level. and if a boy and i think what they do it myself now in mind, i'm a open may offer what i can do me in oman, and i'm trying my best to do something, you know, to send some youngest to europe. we have some nice 10 players from my food when i went to the national team and 16 and they went some of good clubs there in my to send good good players due to a little bit. isn't that easy? but i'm sure we in the future something to come and it'll remind me of how the quarter finals line up then tuesday and i'm on on friday night. hey kat base the you a that on saturday egypt to tackle jordan. and it's the best is our area, england's a cricket says have it all. it's a day to salvage the 1st ashes test against australia with day 3 getting underway in a few hours. travis head was the star on day 2 in brisbin, smashing the 3rd fastest century in ashes history of just 85 bulls. shortly after he was rocked, why, why will delivery, which glanced off his gloves and onto his helmets? he was unfazed and finish the day and beaten on a 112. david warner was also in fine touch, but he felt just 6 run short of his century, australia, 343 for 7 at the closest way, and firmly in control with the lead of a 196 site. that's what we'll support for now, before we leave you. a reminder of our top story for me to one ball says one, louis hamilton at mac, the staff, and to keep it clean had of sundays at championship. beside an abbey debbie is now back to mariam in london. lovely, thank you so much jemma lot. tiffany is out. i'll be back in just a couple of minutes with more of the jays nice for you. i'll see you shawny. ah aah! long with the latest news, as it breaks, governments in the region are using security forces to clamp down on protests, instead of protecting their countries against armed

u. k. u s. in australia are saying, well, we don't want to, we don't go to the winter olympics because you guys are very bad with human rights . what's your response to that? yeah, i think we can compared to 2008. i mean, you know that there are times the fewest talking about china has a lot of domains, right? but the problem is, i think it's a no difference whether it is to eat a summer game or that was on the 22. we not want to get a, b, g is a confidence of a holding desk. now china's grandson is stronger than that in tucson. 8 and any external forties cannot prevent aging from successfully posting the we know game. so i think so called the boycott adjuster bluff and sustained the boy who has a bit of a bluff. meantime, china resigned this time has actually threatened to retaliate against countries that don't send officials about some of these was invited. what for what form? over tally ation, could china put up front? do you think? yeah, i think, but really politicizing the only good game the national teams are sure to be the biggest loser. so i believe that athletes of those countries, we will hate the teachers about it much because the games are held every 4 years. they are not many such opportunity for athletes in a lifetime. they certainly don't want too much coke in the veterans. so i want to wait those teachers to stop for me. beijing must have spent a lot of money getting ready for these winter olympics here. of course, this is a big game that brings the world together, is supposed to be a time and politics go out the window and we'll congratulate each other for being humans on the same planet and admiring each other's sporting skills. i mean, the olympics are supposed to go beyond anything to do with politics. here, are there any other countries that china is aware of that it behaving the same as australia, the u. s. and the u. k. right now? so i for example, we have the we haven't you, i hope that you can be kind of yes. so i, i persuades dance and any countries from them from the us. yeah. okay. awesome. so for example, you, you, in a to the 20th century, new york was the biggest, loose out the war. and that the emergence of the you is also because you don't want to p for future at all. impede games is for the p for future. so i believe that any countries, including a huge or not part of the us, you can all street it and let sparse belong to support and the politics to politics . i thought at wang when the executive director of the chung young institute for financial studies, thank you very much for joining us, your analogy international. we really appreciate your insight. thank you. you. thank you so now a half or 6 in the evening here at moscow. thanks for joining us. we're naughty international. it's been a busy day so far the evening is not going to slow down. we can guarantee you that w

u. s. is not scared, they could meet in the sky. it all comes with the backdrop of the august military hardware deal as well. between australia, the u. k, a u. s. seen by many as a means to count a china. and we heard from a retired us air force left tenant who says the message is washington's trying to send a need, a diplomatic nor aligned with us capabilities. what it is is if they have no concept of how these things come across to the greater global community, it is really not very smart, not very diplomatic. certainly not very strategic. it's a the language of bullying is this administration of i know ministration in particular and i think the trump administration before it was very much about taylor as of bipartisanship, making sure or projecting an image of stress and strain or what this image of strength that they're projecting whether it's military economic is increasingly and empty message situation, i states is not particularly good when it is an empire in decline. there's no doubt about that. this is all the signs are there, but projecting out the language of the old empire even more hysterically. i think is what that is, wh

u. k. u. s. a and e. you pull weapons into his really hands, amidst continuing violence in the legal settlements. joining me now from ontario in canada is professor micheal link, the u. n. special rupture for the human rights situation in the palestinian territories. thank you so much sweats, robideau for coming on as a sad britain is announced a huge pact that spanning cyber security loan trade with a israel just to update us on know whether, despite britain a sang, they do have some concerns about central violence, whether the situation of virgin chris was getting much better actually in the territories. this occupation is getting deeper and it has heard for years and there's really been no change with the arrival than he was really government, which came into our in gym. so these continuing military agreements with israel, i'm only one of giving israel much more confidence that the world was i could pay attention or any meaningful attention to the fact that it is a, it's occupation is now becoming indistinguishable from, from annexation. remember that there are already almost $300.00 settlements in the occupied territories. truce them. and on the west bank, other

u. k. u. s. in australia, not sending government delegates to february's games and paging in protest of china's human rights record. athletes from all 4 countries will still be able to compete that herman to player life order bullet door. it's the same whether they're officials come or not. they will see the success of the beijing winter olympics. sports has nothing to do with politics. all you will and picks as a grand event for athletes and sports fans, not a stage for politicians to perform. the united states, australia, britain, refused to sign the beijing winter olympics. you in general assembly olympic truce resolution. and they wrote, directed and performed the fos of not sending officials to attend. they are standing on the opposite side of the olympic family. why you izzy lens on vale? one of the wells tough is crackdowns on smoking banding. young people from ever buying cigarettes. legal smoking age will rise year by year so that by 2027, anyone aged 14 or younger will never be legally

u. k. u. s. canada st. have announced among other countries that they will not send any officials. and yet we have russia, vladimir putin say that he will delightfully agree to attend. and he's so far the only major leader to say that he will, germany's new chancellor lost souls, has urged everyone to get vaccinated if the countries to win the fight against for a virus. he warned that his administration will have no red lines when tackling code 19 saying they had no time to waste. germany is currently grappling with its biggest waves, infections in the panoramic. so far. all bunker is the berlin director of the political consultancy, ref moose, and global. he says, show since made it clear that tackling the pandemic is his priority. even when they just announced the coalition agreement 3 weeks ago. the 1st statement, all of shots made as the just nominated chance larry was not elected by that time. the 1st and most the highest priority will be unsettling, the coroner damage. and of course, we have a lot of other countries in europe who are taking straight measures, leg austria with a straight lock down. and the debate here is ongoing, and everyone is half out expectations actually, that shows and his government can, can cope with the, with the pandemic. the interesting aspect which is underestimated here is that he is not coming into into the government, into the seat as chancellor from the opposition. right. so usually you have a democracy that you have an opposition and the leader of the opposition then comes off the lecture and becomes the new chancellor or the social is always near. for the last years, you have been the vice chancellor of germany for the last 4 years. he had always been in very good cooperation with chancellor merkel. and that i think also made this specific transition those special because it was super smooth. it was very calm. you could hardly see that the government was leaving office and the new government took up and there was no friction. the current of iris pandemic is top of the political agenda in germany as you've been hearing, and the united kingdom as well on the crone infections are now doubling there every 2 days. but as paul brennan reports bringing back title restrictions is proving to be a political headache for prime minister boards, johnson in europe, the jobs are going into people's arms as fast as they can be unpacked. more than half a 1000000 booster shots were administered in the u. k, in just one day, fall short of the 1000000 a day, the government's aiming for. but the race to reinforce immunity is gathering pace. it's the extraordinary infectiousness of the on the con variant though, which is really worrying global scientists and health experts. we have learned by now that we underestimate this virus at our peril. even if or me cron does cause less severe diseases. the sheer number of cases could once again overwhelm unprepared. health systems. in the u. k. m. a kron case was now doubling every 2 days, and with more than 200000 possibly infected every day, the number could pass a 1000000 within a week, long queues again at vaccinations, centers up and down the u. k. as the government's booster jap program continues apace with the dilemma facing the politicians on that side of the river is whether the jobs alone will be enough to slow the progress of the on a cron variance. scientists have never seen. never seen a coven 19, very was capable of spreading so rap

u. k. u. s. military of staging, a complex provocation. after the british warship, h. m as defense sales near because the crime in as well as ukrainian ships previous violated russian borders. so back in november 2018 to both. and the tongue of the ukrainian navy entered the temporary temp of robert a rather close russian. walter era making dangerous many that ignoring the demands of the border guards, according to the russian side, i only say ukrainians when the western support regularly tried to violate russian territory was it. and crimea officials express concern and the un security council to discuss the problem. but can leave, so widespread confrontation, so we are following all the developer. pay in cash right now. and of course we'll bring you more information as we get this latest incident over fairly quickly course. but it certainly has to things up ok, your shop of all of all the banks of the coach straight. thank you for that. well, that's the story unfolded guess we spoke to agree that the incident appeared to be a publication by the ukrainian military fro

u. k. u. s. canada strip of announce among other countries that they will not send any officials. and yet we have rushes vladimir putin say that he will delightfully agree to attend. and he's so far the only major leader to say that he will katrina, it's certainly a lengthy agenda. the to had many things to discuss. tell us a little bit more about that military aspect. that's right. so we've just seen, actually russia release some new pictures of its conducting, of some testings of new anti submarine missiles. now, dotted me, putin says that russia is quite ahead of the curb when it comes to the testing of these kinds of missiles hypersonic missiles. and we know that china does, to a large extent, agree with that and agree that russia does have some enviable advanced military technology. certainly they supply china with a lot of it's military gear. and china itself is also developing. it's learned hypersonic missiles, the country, the 2 countries are also increasing the military cooperation, the security cooperation, and already this year we've seen both of them conduct several joint exercises. thank you for that update. very much. katrina, you live for us in beijing. let's bring it to raise a felon. she's the director of the center for russia, europe, asia studies, and joins us by skype from brussels. thanks for being here. teresa just tell us a little bit about how deep this relationship is between these 2 nations. and has it been something that's been underestimated by western powers? hello, we are observing more strategic coordination with china and russia than meets the eye. many have described in the past as one of the front of me is or an alliance of convenience. but it seems that even this lines of convenience has children were seen deeper corporation as your correspondent mentioned in space artificial intelligence. and there's also this other idea that when russia does something, for example rattling sabres, your ukraine, it also kind of takes attention the media attention of china and what they've been doing, penetrating airspace and the space of taiwan. so it's other, they're actually coordinating, but they do actually help each other on the international stage. and so this kind of idea of a massive russia, china corporation, was underlined today by test the, the russian news information service. it's the 1st time i've ever seen it written that russia and china test described them as allies. this is something that beijing is very reticent to do. they don't like to describe it as allies, but it seems that russia, coming into these talks with the europeans, wants to show that they have all this power behind them. that russia and china together are working as allies theresa this concern. russia may invade ukraine and china may invade taiwan. how concerning the similarities in their approach to foreign policy? i definitely think that there is an echo effect going on. we saw this with crimea, and the little green men basing you better believe it was watching very carefully how the international community was responding. and they take that into account when they're trying to make their calculus in regards to one. the other issue is russia and china have these kind of small windows of opportunity. both will be facing demographic challenges. their economies are growing as rapidly as they once were. and i think that even this kind of technical advantage right now, you mentioned the hypersonic gliders, the u. s. is now completely focused on great powered competition after they left afghanistan. so there's a short window of opportunity. i think that both moscow amazing. see before the u. s military kind of gears up for this great power competition and they're trying to explain how a washington view this latest meeting do you think between the 2 latest other be watching it very carefully. there are some which i call reverse arm chair kissinger's, who have been advocating that the u. s. should try to pull russia away from china. i don't think that really works. i think russia will always see themselves as a great power. they don't want to be junior powered to the u. s, nor do they want to be one with china. but i think in their calculus, they see themselves as maybe a 2nd here, great power. and that china and russia might be at the top table, but russia still has a major role to play on the international stage. well, we appreciate your insight. thank you very much to raise a felon the direct

k. finalizes, it puts pressure on the u. s. y. because now the u. k isn't much stronger position to negotiate the u. s. u k tre deal because they're having all these other deals completed across the country. and you're right. this is the 1st one that's actually from scratch and eliminating all tariffs. but let's talk when she was secretary of trade, she did complete 70 other ones. so that's really important in terms of the u. s. one other factor, it's very important also in terms of the you case pivot towards asia. this is one of the things in terms of moving away from the e u. the u. k. wants to pivot to asia, that trans pacific, packed in terms of all those nations in the pacific region, australia was a member of that. so this is one step further to completing that agreement as well . so overall, huge. yeah, no, that's fascinating to see how, you know, i know you mentioned the buying and ministration specifically and putting that pressure on them. yeah, i think that they are actually really feeling that pressure on their end. is this something that

u. s. on the u. k. over this or do you feel it is being held on heard sort of on an independent basis in certainly a political case, but the entire indictment is political songs never worked in the united states. he never lived in the united states. he doesn't, over the united states, and thing is not a us citizen. so he's an australian citizen in the u. k. just publishing classified documents that show gross government misconduct, suppose crimes against humanity and the going after him because it's political because he embarrassed them. he embarrassed the c, i a the state department and so on. so the entire indictment is certainly political . now, on the other hand, even though it's on just case is, is very unique. i would argue that at the same time, this treatment that he's being given by the department of justice needs assurances . this is actually standard thing. they regularly trick other jurisdictions, other countries into sending people to the u. s. into extra dining them. and once they're in us

u. s. and u. k. would liken with blocking north stream to invade to ukraine, uniting the free world is easier said than done re talents. how does era livable mean? all the u. s. is sending its leading diplomat for europe to russia and ukraine. current done freed will meet senior officials and kevin moscow over 2 days. apart from the russian troop build up, the state department says don't free but also push for progress on ending the conflict in eastern new claim. also to come here in al jazeera, including military leaders, say the offensive against rebels in democratic republic of congo as reach a critical stage. plus i'm just for washington. it's the coastal indonesia for fear, the ongoing gold rush. putting children's health ah ah, look forward to scores with a spoon cutter, it weighs how low there. there's been a change in the weather across east asia, in particular from maine land, china, things of turn, colder and wetter. thanks to a cold front that's blowing its way down south and further east b

the report says in a 6 week period, the e u u k and u. s. received 513000000 doses. only 500000000. went to the entire continent of africa throughout the whole of 2021. fewer than 9 percent of africans actually are fully vaccinated at the current rate of delivery. it will take until april 2023 to get everyone a for a stolz. g 7 countries will have 1400000000 surplus doses by march of 2022, but are failing to deliver on donation pledges. now germany is one of the countries resisting caused to lift vaccine patents, which would allow poor nations to produce jobs for themselves. john hall reports from billet 2021 has been a tale of 2, and that makes one in the global north where recovery became possible with the widespread delivery of vaccines. and one in the global south where locked downs have hit poor economies, harder with vaccines in much shorter supply. and the virus allowed to circulate more freely. the result by year end, a variant that threatens to turn the whole world back to square one. then overwhelming need for urgency to ensure that that same supplies are im

u. k. media essentially call the u. s. canada and the u. k. military to the front lines and puts out that to do that by bypassing nature. so can you tell us how much of a breach is of the red line slot mere putin had defined? no. well, we have a similar statements from a number of european capitals, including as far as i know, a message from the british military that they were ready to send the troops over. not only those in training, but those in combat units as well. this is something we are obviously very concerned about. this is something we do not like, and it forces us to take some protective measures to defend our interests all the time. hawkins is here with more on this story thing across it throughout the day, right up to the phone call. no doubt daniel feasible story. both sides are saying that hey, we're the innocent party here is the others who are the aggressive ones. that's going to be a bulk of what the conversation would be about presumably. yeah. and the world what some closely to see what the outcome is. the president of co

u. s. u. k said he, rather of liverpool. russia in particular, been singled out by the us and britain for massing troops on ukraine's border. but finding consensus among the allies may be difficult from liverpool, rory, chance reports, prisons, foreign secretary welcomed her richwell counterparts with a brass band and coven conscious fist bumps the u. k. the u. s. canada, germany, france, italy, japan. the g 7 is a club of advanced economy democracies and their friends. and these meetings are a chance for them to affirm both what they're for and what they're against. we need to defend ourselves against the growing threats from hostile actors. and we need to come together strongly to stand up to aggressors who are seeking to limit the bounds of freedom and democracy. have all their perceived threats, coven, china, iran, and more. it's not that russia that is seen as the hottest issue with russian troops massed on the other side of the ukrainian border. that's clear. alarm from western democracies

u. k. join the u. s. is diplomatic boycott of china's winter olympics? ah, hello, welcome to the program. the british prime minister of boris johnson has announced that covert restrictions are being tightened again to help combat the spread of the new on the chron variant. but there are big questions over his authority coming. i was after he was forced to apologize for a video showing his staff, joking about holding a christmas party during last year's lockdown. jonah whole has the latest deny, deny, deny has been the strategy at number 10 downing street over reports of a staff christmas party last year when they were banned on the cobra rules. the government says no rules were broken, leaked video recorded 2 days later, during rehearsals by senior staff for a news briefing offers damning evidence to the contrary. i went home, old and all that is changed to see from mine. all right. this is, this is recorded. inspection of policy with a business means it's not just one of those involved has now resign. it recalled and perhaps eclipse to previous pandemic rule. breaches like chief advisor, dominic cummings, lockdown family road trip, the former health secretary mat hancock's office affair, and the prime minister's own failure to wear a mask on a recent hospital visit. at prime minister's questions on wednesday for his johnson was under extreme pressure to step up his response, saying, i can understand how infuriating it must be to think that the people who have been setting the rules have not been following the mississippi. because i was also curious to see that and i apologize, i apologize unreservedly to the effect that it is caused up and down the country. and i apologize to the impression that it gave it to the position for much the, the queen since alone, which she marked the passing of the man should be married to for 73 years leadership sacrifice. that's what gives leaders of moral authority to lee. i just the prime and to think he has the moral authority to leave off the purchase people to stick to the wrong. yeah, that question would be put to the test later. at a news conference, baris johnson announced new public health measures in response to the highly transmissible omit crohn variant. i know this will be hard for many people. they include mosque, wearing in more indoors settings, guidance to work from home, where possible, and the use of vaccine passports in large public settings. it is for the public now to decide if they will listen things by making his statement offering his apology in parliament virus. johnson will have hoped to move events on in a story that has the potential to do him great damage. the problem is that a new conversation may now emerge, one about the public's willingness to follow new measures in the face of the army kron variant. and whether this government has the moral authority to enforce them. joan, a whole al jazeera london and our correspondent and with simmons is in following the story, enjoins me. now there's a lot to and pick here, andrew. so let's start with the new measure is, i mean if this is plan b, this is really just tinkering around the edges of what was of any place. well, that's right. so i mean that what we're seeing is a follow on from what the rest of europe's doing, but in a much more severe way. this is pretty lightweight, in terms of restrictions. it's better than before. what the, as far as the scientists are concerned, what we're seeing is a list of really upgrades to things like the mask wearing is now going to be in most public places. or i'll include restaurants and bars. there will be of the passport, the vaccine passport than national health service. passport. most people have got these. they will be required in going into our clubs and venues or where people are gathering in any great numbers or indeed outside venues. there's graded system there, but there's not really a big across the board move being made apart from the, the issue of going of actually working from home. but the even last is, is this is really voluntary in terms of well do pennies. still have people working from home, well, that's right. and, and so, so the whole has been to there. but really, that the tone of this news conference was of a different bras, johnson than the one in the commons. you saw in journals report. he was under attack from many directions, but particularly by from obviously the leader of the labor opposition party. yes. thomas, who the performed not surprisingly well with all the meat that he had to roast. and he was pushing hard on making the point that johnson should not be allowed to get away with this. he said that his statement in which he announced the inquiry, was not sufficient. it was putting up more questions than it was answers. and in the, the news conference afterwards, it was put to him several times how, how can you really be a moral authority guiding the public? what on what to do when you have active in this way? or in terms of dodging all the issues and denying this party ever took place, however, he sidestepped back throughout. i think the overwhelmingly, the, the public see are the importance of the, the messages that they are getting via this medium. it is imperfect or we do what we can to explain. ah, what we think is, is necessary. i know it's contentious. i know it's difficult. and i know that sometimes the, the messages are a confusing or we do our absolute best to make it as, as clear as possible. and we do everything that we can do to protect public health . that's what we're, we're, we're driven by and or you mentioned moral authority earlier. i mean, that really is the question. if for whatever reason the u. k. had to impose strict restrictions. 11 to his advice, johnson would have the moral authority to impose that on, on the population. well, i think that's the question. if you ask the british public right now, there might be a negative response from the majority because we've seen from bottom to top of the country, scotland, northern ireland, wales, england, we've seen not just anger, but incredibly sad people thinking my goodness it to see that set of senior, stifles from downing street, joking, laughing it. and then in one case, one woman whose mother died alone, she couldn't get through to her. on this day, december, the 18th, 3 days after the lockdown, effective lockdown was imposed in london. that woman died and, and with it without her daughter and her daughter tweeting on the day, this happened that this was just not was repulsive. now that there's a real feeling, it's not just like the dominant cummings, the special adviser to, to the prime minister who drove all the way out t

u. s. u k were rendering suspected terrorists, u. s. prison camp guantanamo after this month's decision by british courts to exonerate the u. s. justice system. when it comes to wiki likes, his julian son. this program investigates the alleged torture of months were a dorothy by the usa, the author of don't forget us here. lost and found at guantanamo was swept up by us linked warlords, and the cia in afghanistan, 18 year old man, swore became detainee 441, and was held at guantanamo for 14 years without charge you a discretions advised to, so may be disturbed by us treatment of prisoners discussed in this interview ventura. daffy joins me now from belgrade in serbia, missouri. welcome to going under ground ice was we better start given the, i know from my lawyers that people watch this show in guantanamo bay, torture camp, prison, whatever. it's called. i 1st a message i suppose from you to the people still in there.

u. s. u k. want to believe that we have rule of launch the same fundamental rights and freedoms that we promote in all parts of the world. but what is happening to julian sanchez so clearly political, he has been targeted for his contributions to journalism and his treatment. especially if he has actually added to the united states and prosecuted. there will have implications for public interest reporting around the world for many years to turning to american politics. now the investigations into the january 6th capitol hill riot are proving damaging to fox news. terracon offer is keeping a social distance, but he's here with the details. well, richard, the story is about what fox news hers were publicly telling their audiences that night versus what they were privately texting the white house. earlier in the day, the 3 folks presented laur ingram, sean hannity and brian kill meet. will all pro trump and still are, and as congress women live cheney, a member of the committee investigating the ri

k media essentially called the u. s. canada and the u. k. military to the front lines war and put out there to do that by, by passing nater veneer. so can you tell us both the last quote how much of a breach is the light of the red lines lie to me, a putin had to find no enemy? well, we have had similar statements from a number of european capitals, including as far as i know, a message from the british military that they were ready to send their troops over . not only those in training, but those in combat units as well. this is something we are obviously very concerned about. this is something we do not like, and it forces us to take some protective measures to defend our interests for the head of their coal. joe biden basically set the tone by saying he will not accept any red lines. however, at the same time, the white house is not looking for any conflict or earlier artes. daniel hawkins told me more about what is at stake. oh, soon fun out. after today's meeting, it's going to say a lot about the the way conversations are, of course

u. k. and the u. s, it also expressed concern about rights abuses in this conflict. the u. s. state department just last week said it was concerned about reports that to gray enforce is committed killings and rapes in am hora region of ethiopian government itself. objects to this commission being set up, it says it have a capacity to investigate. these allegations of abuse isn't to deliver justice domestically, but rights groups say in spite of repeated promises to do so that to date it's failed to. to do that. watching out his air ally from london cilla had on the program a flare up in fighting between men mas minute trained ethnic rebels drive more than 2 and half 1000 vintages into thailand, including hundreds of children. also, i protest is rally foreign against he needs his president on the anniversary at the uprising that sparked the arab sprain. ah hello no sir. we have a big drop in temperature is come in for europe more on that in his heck. hello, everyone, good to see, but 1st the here and now high pressure, the driver of the school bus for northwestern sections o

u. k. the u. s. canada, germany, france, italy, japan. the g 7 is a club of advanced economy. democracies and their friends. and these meetings are chance for them to affirm both what they're for and what they're against. we need to defend ourselves against the growing threats from hostile actors. and we need to come together strongly to stand up to aggressors who are seeking to limit the bounds of freedom and democracy. have all their perceived threats, coven, china, iran, and more. it's massive, russia that is seen as the hottest issue with russian troops massed on the other side of the ukrainian border. that's clear. alarm from western democracies about the possibility of an invasion. what we have to do is deter russia from taking the course of action. i being very clear, it would be a strategic mistake for russia to do that. and what the g 7 meeting this weekend, the taking place is about is about a show of unity between like minded major economies. liz trust is rallying cry for what she calls the free. well, just like mind the countr

u. k. m. u. s. military of a conflict for rotation. after british warship, a tremendous defense sales near the coast of crime in as well as ukrainian ship previously violated russian border. crimean officials express consent and should be un, secure to counsel, to discuss the problem that can lead to a wide spread confrontation. so we are here for all the development in the coach or right now and will bring you more information as we get to what he's a map showing the path of the ukrainian shape. it was traveling from a port in the training city of multiple russian security serves to say that the vessel then came within 33 kilometers of rushes, coach straight. we got reaction from residents on the peninsula at the young us to promote god. this is blatant provocation. of it was intended to show that as biden's lensky spoke. russia was restricting passage for ukrainian ships through the straits. i am confident that there was a tv crumbled ready to film and record it all as it happened. they wanted to paint russia is guilty. they always blame russia for everything and still night i'm going to be touched on you deal with the senseless. well, the words that ukraine would continue with the provocation, and they're likely doing it on purpose to inc, russia, all the sheep of the jets is just unpleasant. what provokes people see you? yes, i'm a piece with russia. so for example, you have told me to, and i say there will be a little story unfolded last night. we spoke to town in mcadams. he's an executive director at the rome pool piece institute. and he says that the incident appeared to be a provocation by the training military. well, i'm sure that a ship called don bass just coincidentally, happened to test russian resolve near the, near the bridge. i think it was definitely a provocation. we've seen in the media over the past couple of weeks, particularly here in the united states, a lot of coverage about how russia is massing its troops inside of russia. and somehow that's a threat. russia has gone as your viewers well, no, to this point and saying yes you can go through. you can go through the straight, but you do have to file in advance. and that's certainly according to in accordance with international law. the last person to congratulate president vine, but i think he's trying to walk it back. i think he's looking for a way out of this. you know, that's the case. he should be applauded for trying to do this for telling the landscape, hey, why don't you look at the mens agreement and try to go a little bit further towards fulfilling these obligations you've taken on the united states did say on to say that 30 javelin anti tank missiles, systems were delivered to you, crane back in october, aren't you motor gas have takes a while to look now the ukraine tensions and the situation on the ground in the country. nest collation both rhetorically. we would, we have seen this hysteria reach fever pitch about the situation over ukraine, about potential plans to invaders, some countries say, but the situation on the ground in ukraine is perhaps, worst of all because that is where people are dying. people are dying. people are suffering. people are going through through hell and have been going through hell for many years that we have, we have seen of the united states, specifically pumping weapons into ukraine for the ukrainian military. and these are weapons b, b, b, they a javelin miss. are supplied by the united states or by dr. drones supplied by turkey. these are, these are weapons that are flowing into create and immediately going to the conflicts of where the civil war is being fought in the east of ukraine. and they are making life horrific for the people that ukraine has boosted about how it is used all it's, it's shiny new toys. unfortunately, the people on the receiving end very often are civilians. there are more than 2000000 civilians are trapped in the conflict soon in east than ukraine. and they're just having to break it out. people going to sending their kids to school. they always have to worry about a tang cello, a mortar, round landing. they're on the grounds of the school bats in the classroom, where the kids are. people going to work must always worry about tang grounds flying into the bus. they're in the public transport, deliver the car into the house. vladimir putin is like and what is happening to a war cry this, i should say the rooster phobias, the 1st step towards genocide. what's going on and on bass now very much resembles genocide. we see it and we know about it, or we hear about is this potential plans emanating from the she i the white house, the british government. these plan is that no one previously knew about that russia was planning to invade. a huge area of ukraine does unclear how they would be able to achieve this with, with, even if we believe the caea and others with such a small force, a $100000.00 troops is a very unlikely scenario. nevertheless, that's speculation. at this point, they themselves have said that russia hasn't made the decision to invade a ukraine. but let's look at what is happening again on the ground. do you have the os c that reporting on c's for violation? so their work is constant and round the clock. ukrainian artillery enforcers destroyed or damaged 5 times more civilian infrastructure at schools at workplace as that is people's homes. 5 times more infrastructure was destroyed and damaged by ukrainian forces than vice versa. you also have the situation in which you, ukraine, still still 6 years on, refuses to negotiate with the break away republic saying that this isn't something we're going to do because if we talk to them face to face, that would be tantamount to acknowledging them. aside from that, they're also all manner of promises and assurances that you can keeps on hearing from, from britain, from the united states, that they've got their back, that thou help them that don't keep the russians away. and what are, what that does, is it emboldened you credit. and unfortunately, the situation is such that aside from very one sided coverage, you have a situation in which piece simply isn't desirable or gas there. so that brings ships, right? washing out a always could have a company, but back again in just a mm hm. mm ah. awe back breaking, toil. forced labor stress . mm. industrial injury corporal punishment. ah oh no words with which we're all familiar. are you certain that the world you live in abolished slavery long ago? ah, british judge has blocked the extradition of wicking leaks, founder julian assigned to the united states congress with in the fall, a judge ruled against expedition january 4th, 2021. the latest chapters being written in london in a case that has made headlines time and again for 10 years. for the u. s. prosecutors, the hackers on trial, a public enemy and cyber terrorist, 4 of us, a pioneer of investigative journalism on whose fate press freedom in the west could depend the astonish case it was, it was a war with all that, you know, has ross going to the mission. busy and this is, if the so you can you give guys 10. okay. i don't guess. don't mean a for it. and we should response interested research and i thought it was a bunch and storm with someone outside. i tried to speak to them by the way to people beside happens with some of them. yeah. gonna be honest with anyone's coming it. and what do i do? it is broken. ah. in august 2012, the british authority threatened to storm the ecuadorian embassy in london with his home. they want to arrest julian sons, which would provoke diplomatic a class. why is it so important to see him at any cost? so normally moving on, i mean my move in to understand this. let's go back to a few more years. in 2 an antenna. julianna's son is at the he

u. k, the u. s. are very young in germany. we just started and when i imagine like the same as communist movement and equal equal rights of women, how long that took and still we haven't reached our goals as women. then i can imagine that it will. it will need some time to talk to talk about diversity to reach the goals and to have also here are equal rights. now you've said that there is structural racism in germany. tell us how deep you feel this racism goes it's. it's really deep and the main problem is we don't talk about it. we talk a lot about the right extremes and about nazis, but we don't talk about racism. and it starts in a very young age when it comes to which schools the students go. and there is this some image off by which students can go to the better schools at in the 4th grade that the teacher sky side, which coolest the better school for children. and without really being aware of it, there's this image like children from migrant families can't really achieve much. so you have to send them to the easiest cal

u. k, the u. s, you know, they, they flown to dollars to meet with them. so this is part of the question is if you're meeting with them and you're talking with them, how it, you know, is that not one step towards legitimize ation. if not actual, legitimize ation. if you are, whether you call them the de facto, you know, foreign minister or the defect or whatever minister, you're still sitting with them and talking with them, right? so there's that. and then in terms of ok, if the money goes to the taliban government, i think then it becomes even more important for these countries to have some kind of engagement and some kind of oversight to a list. and this is our money. and we want to be sure that it's actually distributed to the people in need. this is something that they couldn't really do with the former government. you know, they kept whatever they were these different aid conferences and things like that. they kept trying to put boundaries, limitation say that, you know, you have to curb corruption by this amount. those benchmarks are never really hit. so now it's important for them through not only do something like that, but to try and see if they can implemented this time. we leave it there for the time being, but thank you so much for joining us today. in the tv the troops in the philippines have been raising to deliver aid to regions devastated by super typhoon ry. at least 375 people have been killed and hundreds more injured. after the massive storm hit last week, half a 1000000 people have been forced from their homes. the red cross has already launched an emergency bill. many survivors are desperate. i am hungry, have mercy. that's what's written on this man's shine as he tries to flag down help surrounding him. a fallen power lines, a mangled mass in the carnage. survivors of super typhoon rye have been left and begging for food and water. oh, but what is the liam for bud?

u. the u. k and the u. s. received 513000000 doses. only 500000000 went to the entire continent of africa. throughout the whole of 2021. few of the 9 percent of africans are fully vaccinated at the current rate of delivery. it's going to take until april 2023 to get every want to fast dose. g 7 countries will have 1400000000 surplus doses by march 2022. but they are failing to deliver on the nation pledges . none of that has slowed down the boost roll out in the u. k though and elsewhere as well. re challenge now report you might get side effects how to do that if they may be christmas, but the u. k. is vaccine boost a program rolls on without a pause. this is portsmouth on england, south coast and jobs are being given to people who slipped between the cracks. i'm not opposed with, i'm not laughing. i said we need to get the town vaccinated to be able to come get actual avenue homeless that particularly the homeless. they're very vulnerable at this time of year to co. they sleep rough and they definitely need to be protected from some c

u. k. uganda and congress military say they've captured adf. rebels destroyed camps and fried hostages, but many a still wary of this joint offensive. on the eldest daughter of pioneer and u. s. ashley allen shepherd bloss off on the latest space tourism flight board of rocket main dothan. ah, welcome to the program. our top story, a devastating series of tornadoes has read through 6 us states. president joe biden says it's likely to be one of the biggest tornado outbreaks in the country's history. he is rushing federal assistance to the was to places like kentucky where at least 70 people have died. dozens of fear dead in a candle factory and the town of mayfield where around a 110 people were inside walking when the roof collapsed. 40 were rescued, but the states governor says it will be a miracle if anyone else is and allies. all the songs left a trail of destruction across mid western and southern states as party call high now ports to us. one town seemingly wiped away in one evening mayfield kentucky where a candle factory with 110 people inside was leveled. a tract worker took to facebook live to plead for help and we aren't trans, please. y'all give us some help. we're at the candle that very it may you please bring us. she got out, but the governor believes the vast majority of workers did not lose a lot alive at that facility. and i pray that there. ready will be another rescue. a breville, toby, another one or 2, but it's a very dire situation. at this point. the storms with as many as 30 tornadoes could be seen from space tornadoes that came down and stayed down, causing damage for more than 300 kilometers. this path length, i believe, when it's all said and done, we're waiting for the numbers to come in. will be a near 400 kilometer path length and very likely that this tornado will be rated violence, which means e f, or e, f 5. i'm expecting. winds kick wind speeds to be well over 200 miles per hour with this particular tornado. and it wasn't just kentucky in amazon warehouse in illinois, a nursing home in arkansas destruction in missouri and tennessee states that expect tornadoes but not usually in december. the national guard has been called in, and the search has started to see if there are survivors trapped underneath all of this. still, the death toll is likely to climb from this unexpected, massive and powerful storm. patty calling al jazeera washington, i think joins us live now. president joe vine has been speaking to the governors of those affected states. what do we know about these conversations? but when he said he's spoken to all of the governors that have impact been impacted, he spoke to the nation from his home in delaware, where he usually goes on the weekend. but it very customary as an emergency of this scale for the president to address the country. or we know that he's already proved a federal, a declaration of an emergency declaration when it comes to kentucky. and he said he's waiting for the other states to do the same. that would increase the amount of aid the federal government can help can provide. but he's also trying to remind americans and use this as an opportunity to unite what has become such a politically divided country. really trying to explain just the magnitude of the emergency, but also the very personal impact it has on everyone who is in the path of this storm. let's listen. i won't function all the states. you know, we're going to get through this. we're gonna get through this together and the federal government is not going to walk away. this is one of those times when we aren't democrats or republicans. sounds like i probably, but it's real. where all americans, we stand together as united states of america. and so i said all the victims, you're in our prayers and all those 1st responders, emergency personnel, and every one helping your fellow americans. this is the right thing to do with the right time. and we're going to get through this. what can the federal government provide? well, it's going to be a tough task for fema to get a lot of equipment in right away. usually if it's i say a hurricane or if that's a wildfire, they're able to pre position everything they need just outside of the damage zone. but they do have stockpiles all across the country. they will have been spending to day trying to mobilize that they are one of the big problems is going to be the roads. because this was such a huge swath of land that had so much damage. and a lot of these are very rural communities where maybe there's only one road in one road out. you need to get those roads cleared. so that national guard has been called in. that's the state. does that, at least in kentucky, they have and they'll start clearing the roads. they'll start searching people door to door. the federal government for its part is going to focus on providing shelter immediately because it's going to be cold. there. again, we don't normally have tornadoes, especially not these kind of tornadoes in december because it's usually pretty cold . so in a town like mayfield, in many cases we see tornado damage. some homes are spared, it doesn't appear. there's even a single standing structure in that town of $10000.00 people. so the federal government's go. dow is going to be get them trailers or they can live in where there's heat, get in some sort of water supply, bring in food, bringing cellphone towers that are temporary, that people can communicate. one of the things that shows you just how large scale this damages is. we've been at a death toll about 70 people. the governor of kentucky says it's may be up to a 100 now, but it's been there all day that just shows you that it is going to be a frantic and long search to figure out who's missing. where are they? are they under rubble in. it's just so many homes, businesses, factories, offices that need to be searched. it's going to take a while. the other problem, as night falls, it gets harder. it gets colder and they're really going to be racing against the clock because of these sorts of situations. they really think that the best shapes chance defies when alive is in the 1st 48 hours after that they tend to switch to a recovery mission. so a lot of concern because it is just so wide spread. so many dates so much damage that it's going to take a while to figure out just truly how bad it is. but if the pictures are seen, are an indication it's going to be really bad in a lot of places. thank you very much. patty coin there in washington. and then earlier on i spoke to vincent alta, an american storm chase, a who was following a tornadoes in tennessee. he told me why the storms are so devastating. this is a pretty massive outbreak with not just a roll. strong tornadoes, but a couple of very strong, almost violent potentially tornadoes. and in the middle of december, this is not when we would be expecting something like a couple of towns that i was driving through last night with the tornado in my windshield did not have storm sirens going. and it wasn't a matter of whether they had power, electrical power to them or not. because there were still lights on these towns. it's possible somebody down there probably found that either a failure of their warning systems coming storm sirens or they just didn't have them. and it's really concerning because we've got to be able to get these warnings out immediately. that's how we're going to save lives. you know, 5 or 10 minutes, even 15 minutes. there's just not enough time to take shelter from a tornado. it's in town. so there's an adrenalin russia, extremely stressful. it's, it's not, it's definitely manageable for someone like me. we're used to this. but for the general public, dis, this could be, this is life threatening and this isn't, this is crazy. some folks that i've spoken to after tornadoes, not this case, but other cases of said they felt their life flash before their eyes. it's incredibly stressful. i mean, there's potentially a deadly, a deadly situation going on anywhere from a few feet to maybe a mile or 2. and it's coming at you it's, it's incredibly stressful and it can be scary at times because you have no control . ready over what's happening other than your actions, you know, we can't control where the poor nato goes. and if it's going to go over a town and destroy the town, that's what it's going to do. on top diplomats from g 7 countries have been to show unity against global aggressive as they meet in the city of liverpool. russia in particular, has been singled out by the us in person. so massing troops on ukraine's border. but finding consensus even among allies could prove difficult from liverpool or challenge or bought. britain's foreign secretary welcomed her richwell counterparts with a brass band and coven conscious fist bumps the u. k. the u. s. canada, germany, france, italy, japan. the g 7 is a club of advanced economy democracies and their friends. and these meetings are chance for them to affirm both what they're for and what they're against. we need to defend ourselves against the growing threats from hostile actors. and we need to come together strongly to stand up to aggressors who are seeking to limit the bounds of freedom and democracy. have all their perceived threats, coven, china, iran, and more. it's back to russia that it seen is the hottest issue. with russian troops massed on the other side of the ukrainian border, the clear alarm from western democracies about the possibility of an invasion. what we have to do is deter russia from taking the course of action. i being very clear, it would be a strategic mistake for russia to do that. and what the g 7 meeting this weekend, the taking place is about is about a show of unity between like minded major economies. liz trust, his rallying cry for what s

u. k. media 40 of your century called u. s. canada accounts and the u. k. military to the front line, the law and put out there. and i do that online by passing nater, vanessa lampa. can you tell us about the last quote, how much of a bree more is of the alliance? the all the red lines monumental eugene has defined no and the my well ceiling. we have had similar statements from a number of european capitals, including as far as i know, a message from the british military. and they were ready to send their troops over, not only those in training, but those in combat units as well in this is something we are obviously very concerned about earlier. this is something we do not lie at all. and it forces us to take some protective measures to defend our interests, but laughing at dom could what about the potential actions of the nato alliance? no movie jim. now we see that nato is taking an extremely aggressive position. we see mister salt and bugs rhetoric and we see the different u. s. leaders, rhetoric. first, they all say they don't accept any red lines. se

u. k. a u. s. receive 530000000 doses. and the 500000000 went to the entire continent of africa. throughout the whole of 2021. 59 percent of africans fully vaccinated the current rate of delivery. it'll take until april 2023 to get everyone a 1st dose. g 7 countries will have a 1400000000 surplus of doses by march 2022, but a failing to deliver on donation pledges. germany is also one of the country's resisting calls to lifting vaccine, peyton's, which would allow poor nations to produce jobs for themselves. journal reports, not berlin. 2021 has been a tale of 2 pen democrats. one in the global north where recovery became possible with the widespread delivery of vaccines. and one in the global south where lock downs have hit poor economies, harder with vaccines in much shorter supply. and the virus allowed to circulate more freely. the result by year end of variant that threatens to turn the whole world back to square one. then overwhelming need for urgency to ensure that that same supplies are immediately and to countries

u. k. the u. s. canada, germany, france, italy, japan. the g 7 is a club of advanced economy. democracies and their friends. and these meetings are a chance for them to affirm both what they're for and what they're against. we need to defend ourselves against the growing threats from hostile actors. and we need to come together strongly to stand up to aggressors who are seeking to limit the bounds of freedom and democracy. have all their perceived threats, coven, china, iran, and more. it's back to russia that is seen is the hottest issue. with russian troops matched on the other side of the ukrainian border. that's clear. alarm from western democracies about the possibility of an invasion. what we have to do is deter russia from taking the course of action. i being very clear, it would be a strategic mistake for russia to do that. and what the g 7 meeting this weekend, the taking place is about is about a show of unity. between like minded major economies. trust is rallying cry for what she calls the free. well, just like minded countries should step up that should unify, they should stop the introspection and drift and push back against perceived, aggressive russia and china. and they should do this using economics and technology . but germany is no stream to gas. pipeline project with russia is an example that true unity can be elusive. germany's the green party, foreign minister, and alina bad book, is against it. social democrat boss, chancellor schultz, is for it. and germany is not yet agreeing to threaten russia as the us and u. k. would liken with blocking nord stream to invade to ukraine, uniting the free world is easier said than done re challenge. how does era livable the g several foreign ministers of also discussed what coordinated action can be taken in afghanistan and how to engage with its taliban rulers. this a day after, don't as agree to transfer 280000000 dollars to the wild food program and to unicef from a frozen trust fund for food and health services. the u, i me saying was 23000000 people, which is 55 percent of the population are facing extreme levels of hunger. so i now joined via skype from union city in california by the former afghan deputy finance minister, girl mouse, who had sabbott. the afghan economy is in collapse the country on the brink of starvation and possibly the world's worst humanitarian crisis. according to the united nations. this emergency aid money is nowhere near enough. go much food so, but not sure if you can hear me. ok. ok. so i was just asking you about the rele
