that to the u. s. has a long been practice done because cutter was of the place where the u. s. and the taliban negotiated the end to the u. s. military presence in afghanistan. that agreement, of course reached during the trumpet ministration back in 2020 a. but because the u. s. does not recognize the taliban as the legitimate government in cobbled because of deep concerns about top. it's a treatment of afghan women and children of its treatment of religious minorities, of its commitment to i engaging in put the u. s. considers on fundamental rights the right to free expression, the right to political engagement, the right to challenge the government saw policies. it is not going to extend that recognition, but the u. s. has an obligation to us citizens and to afghan citizens who worked alongside the u. s government during the 20 year long war. and so this is really a way for the us to be able to meet its obligations to us citizens and their families, as well as to afghan citizens who cooperated wit

u. s. really has to keep a foot in each camp because the u. s. doesn't want to also alienate the u. k. one of the strongest best allies that the u. s. as ever, had people can say that the special relationship is over all they want, but the u. s. has always historically dependent on the u. k. for military support, international support and legal support. absolutely. will hillary for which board member with the british american business association. thank you so much for joining us. event. and finally, with ongoing supply chain issues, it is becoming increasingly difficult to get your hands on one of these latest generations of video, game counseled. but you might have a chance if you're willing to spend a pretty penny. now we're not talking about hitting the over inflated retail market . that would be just too easy. instead of gucci is producing 100 limited edition, x box one series x councils. now, according to the luxury brand, the council will include custom gucci, branded x box controllers, a hard case for storing and traveling with your new device, as well as a laser cat monogram of

to get out of control. but that being said, i think it is simply because the u. s. is the compton relative to connie has more incentives to challenge. what is the status quo? victor glancing there, that essentially the china has this that says in a strengthening position and the u. s. is now at a disadvantage. do you think that that is what has motivated president teaching ping's acceptance of this public meeting with joe biden? though i think her president joe biden, and present she can be of china. they knew each other well for more than one decade, or they were a vice president's or the each other's country. they call along very well. and this meeting, the virtual summit, as we call it, is long overdue. it should have happened earlier this year. however, i think the fact that it takes place is truly a milestone event in china. us relations, it gives assurances to everyone in china, in the united states, that despite of all the differences the company does, of the 2 countries can sit down, be frankly, be caught you as you mentioned and discuss all the differences.

u. s. to help african nations produce their own jobs. and nigeria is aiming to inoculate half its population against corona virus before february. so far it's administered still says to around 9000000 of it's 200000000 people. government is trying to get religious and civil society leaders to back the mass vaccination campaign. and that she up to date, she stay with us here in al jazeera inside story is up next. ah, the continent must we fall. thus the message from america stopped diplomat to africa leaders. antonia lincoln has been visiting the region ahead of us summit in washington. what has the u. s. policy to was africa worked. this is inside story. ah hello, welcome to the program. hashem abala. your secretary of state antony blanket has been visiting several african countries. it's part of a biden administration's bush to increase cooperation and strengthened relations. blinkin has sought to assure leaders, unlike past us administrations, this one would treat africa as an equal partner, but it's not clear how much influence washing

to be managed. i know was this meeting perhaps also a u. s. recognition that previous efforts to try to influence china's domestic and foreign policy i've kind of foundered. well, i would say 1st of all that i would concur with professor gl assessment that the meeting taking place, the virtual meeting taking place on that in and of itself is posit development. and the fact that it was for frank and the candid, and of course the conversation is also positive, particularly when you just oppose that to the meeting that occurred earlier this year in anchorage which quickly deteriorated. ah, that being said, i think that if you read, if you read the read out from the white house, for instance, in the meeting, we can all assess that. nothing substantive actually came out of the meeting. there were no da levels. there were no rural agreements to do anything. i think the biggest take away is that both countries, both governments recognize that open and transparent in canada, communications are required. and this virtual meeting on the heels of 2 tele

to come from? the relationship between the u. s. and japan, if they try to counter the chinese influence, they're going to be torn between 2 objectives. it's the same with the united states in europe on the one hand, they'd like to get together to add pressure. but neither of them trustee job, neither the japanese americans or vice versa. beach is afraid, the other one will make to deal with trying to leaving them in the cold. this kind of tension never ends very well. my guess is now limp along as they have been doing and it seems like it's been going on for awhile and it's going to continue as you say, professor richard will host the mechanistic update. thank you so much. thank you. and sticking with the strange relationship between the world's 2 largest economies, we have heard about the toll of the ongoing tech dispute between china in the us and what it is had especially on while way in faxes. trump era sanctions cut off access to much needed semiconductors and google's android operating system for their devices. the telecom gia

u. s. to provide hundreds of millions of dollars in a i've more to see the crisis that the worse and so dramatically and just spread across a whole country because money is desperately needed because if the library has collapsed problems, carl, then we'll see real catastrophe in this country. ah, the oh i good morning you watching 19 to national just going 8 o'clock in moscow. now we're not without breaking news from the united states because police do say there were multiple fatalities when an s t. v drove into a christmas parade in a suburb of milwaukee wisconscin specific. yes. on the exact number of deaths low about 20 people have been reported injured, including several children and 3 people. a said to be in a critical condition, a word of warning he may find the following: images disturbing. oh, well videos posted to own social networks to show that my vehicle ran into the crime, the police chief of the town of. okay, sure. where the incident occurred said, said that a person of interest

what's your reaction to the u. s. decision to blacklist these companies think this is a major win, an a major victory in the fight against surveillance access. now in many other civil society groups have been sounding the alarm for years on the breach of human rights violations. been committed and facilitated by the n s o group and the the, the u. s. decision today send a strong message to the nfl group, but also other surveillance companies that are profiting from human rights violations. that it's no longer business as usual. so we commend that us for making and taking the lead towards accountability. and we also urge the european union and other governments to take similar restrictive steps to make and hold surveillance companies accountable. what does it mean in practice to, to be on this particular entity list? i think we're not clear yet what that entails and what that means in practice. it, what we know is that it makes business or making business difficult with those companies in the us. any company that is p

if they decide that they want to leave afghanistan without each man with tall bon officials, the u. s. is of al, goal would be basically impossible to achieve. now what this also does is does provide a sort of rob back channel of form of communication between the u. s. and the taliban. let's not forget the us government and cut on had provided a space for the us and the taliban to negotiate the end of the u. s. troop presence in afghanistan through it's a good auspices, over the past several years. so this is not an unusual role for the government of got out to be taking. however, this does a, in effect ela, they cutters a status as a regional law power broker, because it was just 4 years ago i've, our viewers will recall that katara was the subject of a regional a blockade carried out by the g. c. c. now, and it's being trusted by washington, which at one point was taking sides with the gcc to actually represent its interests inside afghanistan. it's a bit really big development in the relationship of whether or not it means that the u. s. is going to be one step closer to formally e

to engage with his counter arts. and pers, there is a slight problem that the u. s. has at least with regard to taiwan and please correct me if i'm wrong in this. but if i understand correctly that the u. s. has a policy that we talked about earlier about m, there being a one china policy policy that, that, that, that it agrees with the one china policy. but at the same time, president biden has said it will defend its allies. i. e, taiwan, to an outsider like me, that seems like a mixed message. it seems like 22 different sides of the same coin. does that counter any? and i understanding or undermine a possible understanding when it comes to meetings like this, because china, perhaps understandably, will say what you're saying, one thing, but you're willing to do another and we don't exactly know where you stand on this . well, i would, i would say that u. s. policy has been consistent and longstanding since 1979. and i would also mention that we have domestic law legislation. the taiwan relations act that governs our unofficial relationship with taiwan. so there hav

u. s. apple is the latest in a string of companies and governments to pursuit the tech company. earlier this month, the u. s. u. s. officials placed it on a trade blacklist. those are the headlines now back to asset master of chaos. ah, on the 21st of august 2013 syrian government forces used chemical weapons in opposition held areas, killing hundreds of people, including many children. new as soon as the year before, the technical weapons would have led line. however, off to the attack, president obama decided not to intervene because it might lead to heavier u. s. involvement in syria. there were some people in the administration who worried that hasn't come at the end be top alden, extremists would take over. those of us who were following siri more closely, kept telling them, stop worrying about that. the extremists are no stronger than a lot of the modern elements, and they're not going to take over. it might just shift the fighting a little bit, but there will not be an islamic state declared in damascus. this lack of a western response seemed to embolden assad. he realised

u. s. to be ready to respond. we do not yet believe that additional measures will be needed, but so that we are prepared if needed. my team is already working with the officials at pfizer, amber darn, and johnson and johnson. to develop contingency plans for vaccines or boosters if needed. and i'll also direct the f d a the cdc to use the fast as process available without cutting any corners for safety to get such back siege approved and on the market if needed. handwriting us out of this gas, our ben lucko house, christy i, and octavia moran, the ceo of optimist. o l. c. octavio, let's start with you here. i know we saw significant reaction from markets on friday, but some one of a rebound here in the us today. how are investors seeing the news of another new covariance? i think the small money's looking at this and saying that it could end up actually being very beneficial for markets. the big played mark has been the federal reserve in the european central bank, basically saying that can be tapering their bone

to biden. so, as a result, the u. s. president wanting to make sure that that playing field is level so that there could be increased fair competition and not some of the concerns that the us has had with china and a disruption of global trading norms as us, as alleged in the past. as not speak to katrina you who's in beijing for us. katrina, what does using ping one from this meeting? i think president, she really wants to see as beijing would put it this relationship put back on track . now we've just had some updates from chinese state media posting some very positive footage of president. she didn't pay, making his opening remarks. some of the highlights of things. he said was that the u. s. and trying to both to shoulder international responsibilities, worked together and tactfully global challenges, respect one another, and focus on when, when outcomes now, i think it's highly unlikely that prisoners she didn't think would have even agreed to this virtual summit, if he didn't believe that there would be some sort

u. s. has promised to defend one top u. s. official says china's economic growth is changing the global landscape. we're witnessing one of the largest ships in global geostrategic power that the world is works and it only happens once in a while. china does one conflict with united states just like new york, one china. and so i think that the idea in the summit is essentially an offer. it's an opportunity for the 2 sides to lower the temperatures and take stock or working relationship. some it's really happen without something to show for it. so there could be movement on trade visa restrictions, and perhaps even small moves on nuclear weapon. both sides want to move from confrontation to cooperation. but both sides need to agree. that is the next step. i'll and fisher, i'll just either at the white house or i will for more or less less get sir more from our white house correspondent, kimberly how kids are. kimberly, as we heard therein. allen's report virtual meeting, but very real concerns was the mood music like going int

u. s. to see his family in detroit, his lawyers say the charges relate to his time at me and mar now a news outlet which he left a year and a half ago. washington is demanding his release, calling the charges profoundly unjust. these charges are all based on the allegation that he was working for me. i'm on now of band media or outlet. in the aftermath of the february, 1 military coup in muma, danny had actually resigned from your mom now in july 2020, and joined frontier the following month. so at the time of his arrest in may, he'd been working with frontier for more than 9 months since the military over through me and mazda mechanically elected ga, from a default on sushi and put her in jail. the cracked on against anti cool protest of an journalists has been unrelenting. the thing is really, really quite critical. and the former regime and also to team it was, it was hard to be a journalist, tend to tackle some issues that the government don't want to. seems the qu, in february, more than

u. s. numbers in which the u. s. wants to just cut emissions by half by 2030. so i think the coal industry has had a fair head start warning that change is coming to the industry and that this will prevent a bigger shake out in the market because they will have ample time to prepare and pivot. now with this global energy crisis going on, that we've talked so much about and the need for fossil fuels right now, does it take away from the importance of it when the u. s. is out there calling for opec to increase the oil output? i'm talking more so about the overall conference when we're talking about all of these promises. it does take away a lot from it. as we've been talking about the for the past couple of weeks, it almost makes us sound hypocritical because the us, that all these arbitrary timelines and deadlines for shifting the countries over to green energy. however, we've seen green tech is not mature yet to handle this much demand. so the only thing the u. s. is doing shifting and exporting pollution pretty much the same thing. it's done with the rare eart

we don't need you to do this at the u. s. is doing that because they say, oh, it's going to hurt ukraine. we've heard this story before when ultimately hurt ukraine. if this takes place because the ukrainians need the money that will come from the pipelines that run across their land from russia. and this is being bypass that what germany is saying is there is no reason to believe that it's going to hurt ukraine. and that we need to have our own solidarity and essentially national sovereignty. when it comes to this issue, the russians want to do it. we want to do it, stay out of it with your sanction. and right, and i mean, the germans are basically that this certification delay is mostly due to some bureaucratic red tape where they have to incorporate inside of germany to do so. and the us been increasingly involved in this situation. obviously they, they, at one point kind of gave their blessing for germany to go ahead and get the guy from russia. but the cremeans kind of saying, hey, the u. s. should not be involved in this

to discuss the fighting in ethiopia. international calls are growing for an immediate cease fire. the u. s. special envoy for the region is an ad is about to push for di escalation, non essential staff from the u. s embassy have been authorized to leave china's report that its highest daily rise and corona virus cases. in 3 months 93 people have been infected in the last 24 hours. infections have been searching since mid october. u. s. house. democrats have put off votes on a pair of long delayed spending bills as urgency to pass the measures off a democrat suffered a state level election defeat in virginia and a near defeat in new jersey. the roughly 3 trillion dollar economic plan is vital to jo biden's domestic agenda. and the by the administration has set a date for coven 19 vaccination rules. the business is from january. 4th companies with a 100 or more employees will be required to ensure staff either vaccinated or tested weekly. federal workers will not be allowed to opt out. carbon emissions, or rebounding to levels not seen since before. the pandemic emissions are on track to ris

and if you'll be, as leaders to and political turmoil and conflict has produced few results. and the u. s. has promised economic investment and help in the fight against coven 19 pandemic, and climate change. but can compete with china, which wells huge influence across africa. the united states wants to strengthen our partnerships across africa in ways that serve your interests, our interests, and the interests of people worldwide, whose lives and future's dependent part on what we can achieve together. united states knows that on most of the urgent challenges and opportunities we face, africa will make the difference. we can't achieve our goals around the world. whether that's ending the coven, 19 pandemic. building a strong, inclusive global economy, combating the climate crisis, or revitalizing democracy in defending human rights without the leadership of african governments, institutions, and citizens. ah, let's bring in our gas in i roby mart sharia montane, a research associate fellow of the whole international institute for strategic studies. in washington, d. c. william lawrence,

u. s. of trying to capture tanka carrying its oil. the u. s. denies the clayton with the pentagon saying it's bogus and ridiculous. i've seen the iranian claims, they are absolutely totally false and untrue. there was no such effort by u. s. naval assets to seize anything. so what this refers to is back on the 24th of october u. s. navy assets did monitor iranian forces, illegally boarding and seizing a merchant vessel and international waters in the gulf of rome. on united states. 5th fleet directed to ship scenario assets to closely monitor that situation at no time where u. s. forces attempting to retake or otherwise engage in the situations situation where you acted completely in accordance with the law. so it's a bogus claim. the u. n's accusing all sides of atrocities in ethiopia, and investigation, says the government and rebels in the to grow conflict of violated human rights laws. and in some cases may have committed war crimes and crimes against humanity. officials that the comp 26 un climate summit are focusing on ways to finance t

he's expected to mid the u. s. secretary of state and they're supposed to discuss the fastest way of bringing about a ceasefire because the concern is if that rebels, rich addis ababa and they've been fighting to do so. i'm not making any sick a little bit. then these walk down into a civil war, something that would not all go well for a t of bias, 110000000 pip on not just them, but then tire horn of africa. and if you have is a key country in this region, has taken part in peacekeeping operations and also piece making initiatives across the region and with its population. many of the neighboring countries are fitting an influx of refugees and has the oldest shuttle diplomacy. we've been seeing in the main, at fault right now i've been led by the african union and the united states. and they say these and i didn't need for sci fi. united states has also been issuing tribal advisers. it said sentence. this is probably the 3rd time in about 2 weeks that they are giving these advisory the 1st one was we advise you t

and you would go to u. s. you need to cooperate with me in the security matters because we have a lot of fights for all the stories. and i says, this is how we play the game from my from a lot. okay. ah . 2 what keeps you awake at night? with kissing awake at night? many a reason that could effect any human life could because or not could be a work. your job could be jones, you could be personal, like any on a human ah . is done with how i welcome to look at the international forecast. we're starting in australia where we have high 5 dangers in place at the moment. semi got nasty, stormy weather, pushing across westlaw strider flu south australia, down towards the southeast, could cause some flooding along with some wind damage. he would go spinning out of bed. nobody weigh easing across the novel, south australia seeing some very heavy right. pushing across towards victoria friday, going on into sash die. and then as we go on through the weekend, this same system, rudy gathers and 1st sunday falling on friday

it is not going to extend that recognition, but the u. s. has an obligation to us citizens and to afghan citizens who worked alongside the u. s. government during the 20 year long war. and so this is really a way for the us to be able to meet its obligations to us citizens and their families, as well as to afghan citizens who cooperated with the u. s. military l largely as well as basically having that back door channel to communicate to the taliban on to lesson until there is some sort of political transition. one that would meet the u . s. a. standards, in which case you would then see a recognition of the government and cobble at least 15 people are injured after a bomb was set off in a mosque. and afghanistan's nangle province device is reported is made in east any must hope. it has been a spate of similar attacks on mostly she are mosques, many of which have been claimed by iso in afghanistan. no claims of responsibility for this bombing so far. this still had on al jazeera, on its way to becoming a failed state. the un slash criticism o
