acknowledged the handling of recent security agreement with australia and the u. k. was clumsy. he says he was under the mistaken belief paris had been informed about the deal in advance. that agreement forced the cancellation of australia's multi $1000000000.00 deal to buy french submarines. we have no older, no more loyal. no decent ally in france. it's been with us from the beginning. reason in part where we came we did was clumsy. was that go with a lot of grace. i was under the impression, certain things that happened that had but i made clear french read street. now what's important is precisely to be sure that such a situation will not be possible for all future congo coordination of congo cooperation. but for me, what's important is that we built during the past with some very concrete factions, north or to strengthen sponsorship in the hell this clarification between what european defense means and how this is completely compatible with nato. what's your been sovereignty means and how it is important for go security and our white house correspondent, kimberly how kit has moved from rome. the meeting between the french president emanuel mac craw and u. s. president joe biden was important because these are long standing allies in the rift that was created as a result of the united states working with united kingdom and australia and forming a security partnership. notice office leaving france in the dark was a flap in the face, according to the french president, and well, there was a telephone call to try and mend the relationship. this was the 1st face to face meeting were joe biden, acknowledged the mistakes of the united states, saying that this was clumsy and also without race to leave france, a really ignorant of what was taking place. we should also point out, though that the apology appeared to be accepted by the french president who talked about the importance of the relationship moving forward. what mattered were the actions in the coming days, weeks, months and years now? and joe biden also had other meetings here in rome. he met with the italian president as well as the italian prime minister. but there was another headline and that was the announcement that helped ministers and finance ministers of the g 20 r working creating a task force in order to achieve an ambitious goal. and that is to see that the world's population is vaccinated up to 70 percent by mid 20. 22. earlier biden visited pope frances of the vatican to discuss the con, the crisis. i am the corner of ours pandemic during space has more president biden with the pope, a deeply personal and spiritual moment for the u. s. is 2nd ever catholic president, but also a chance to discuss the most pressing issues at the top of the list, the climate emergency, the biden administration and hope by now to have passed its massive spending legislation, giving the president the ability to match his words on climate with action, but there's been no breakthrough. as the u. s. president toward rome with his motorcade of 85 vehicles, the un secretary general said all roads to success at the climate conference in glasgow in just a few days passed through rome. what is the minimum g 20 countries must deliver at this summit? for there to be a chance of success at cop $26.00 in glasgow. we asked you above what the scientists tell us that are the levels of emission that should be needed in 20, said he, and in 2050. and it is clear that it leads nowhere. if developed countries will tried to blame emerging economies and emerging economies will try to blame developed countries. these is the moment for every body to the maximum. g. 20 leaders had been arriving in the italian capital, including some like the australian prime minister, scott morrison, and the brazilian president jebel scenario, who faced the most criticism from climate campaigners. a senior un source has told me that the priest summit negotiations conducted by the leaders envoys known sherpas have been extremely difficult. there's been some positive movement on the global distribution of covey, 19 vaccinations, but on the key issue, the climate emergency has been absolutely no progress. another issue complicating things is the fact that some leaders, notably rushes, president, putin and china's president. she will not be traveling to rome or glasgow and will be attending this g 20 remotely. james bayes al jazeera rome of jonathan's economy is on the brink of collapse and the un humanitarian chief is calling on the world was powerful countries to do something about it. during this weekend's g 20 summit, martin griffith spoke to out. there is kristen. so let me about watson state. almost half of the children under 5 or risk of severe acute malnutrition. one in 2 of the population of afghanistan don't have enough food to eat dinner when the next meal is coming. so the food insecurity is, is reaching levels which is unparalleled globally. it's an extraordinary picture. our un agencies able to get in and out of the country more easily. now, are they able to move about the country freely and access people in need? the un has scaled up with international and joe's and national partners. and the security in afghanistan to reach people in need hasn't been as good as this for a long time. so that there are some, there is some good news. un flights are regularly going in and out and around. i've got to stop. staff have gone back in the operating conditions are beginning to improve, but the needs are skyrocketing. how can the international community inject cache into the country without compromising its principles without violating international laws? and sanctions are still in place. is that possible putting cash into the economy is not putting cash into the hands of the telephone as the very care about that. putting cash in the economy means that nurses can be paid. it means that traders can operate. it means that women running small businesses can do that. and if you don't have that, what are the consequences? the consequences will be, i am quite sure, drawing instability, more problems in terms of violence. the possibility of the region destabilizing. we constantly hear from women and girls there that they're afraid of the situation and they don't trust with the taliban is saying, would you trust your daughter there right now? look at the i, i totally understand that. you know the taliban has a past which we all know, alaskans know particularly well. and i negotiated with the taliban and 99 to exactly on this issue and we made no traction. we made no progress. so the engagement and the negotiation is important, as you say, it's imperfect in different parts of afghanistan. ton of ban needs to assert its own command control over different parts of africa and insist on the promises it makes at the leadership level to be delivered at the local level. so if, if i, if my daughter was living in kennesaw, yes, i'd be concerned and i totally understand the fear that people have a desire to leave, that our best efforts should be to make as canister a place where girls can feel safe, can prosper, can work can move, that should be the effort, but i believe it's possible. it's been almost a week since a large group of migrants set off from the mexican city of tampa, tula aiming to get to the u. s. and while previous caravans have been stopped by mexican authorities, this one has managed to advance. john holman, has more from southern mexico. ah, it's a tough awakening for the group of more than 3000 people who are moving through met called foot, trying to get to the us after another night spent sleeping on the street. there's a lot of children here. the 7 in the martinez family is struggling already on the phone and some of them were tired, but the children, even more cell one is ill. she's got source, they've all got irritated skin. it must be the sun and the change in the temperature. oh, i like most people in the caravan, the martinez is have come from central america on today. in their case 15 people, 3 generations of their family have fled. late to they'll tell us why. like many of this, they arrived quickly at the mexican city of tampa, tula, hoping to then travel through the country to the states, but a forest. he's confined them there for months. now they've managed to get out. we will little they can carry these bags, contain all of elvin martinez, is his wife and free children's possessions perched on a rickety buggy girl gas. thou i now and i reckon the wheels might give out at some point today during the walk. i'm right now this is everything that you have in the world. pretty much. no ali test all look it in in soon enough. it's time to head off. the group started before dawn to avoid the south. it's curtis the only sound a little chatter and the children who can't take it anymore. and despite long lines of calls and taxes to the side of them, no one's going to give them a ride. the mexican government plan this time round seems to be to let people advance but only on foot. and they've set up checkpoints like this one daily ahead of the caravan to make sure that cars buses, taxis, aren't picking migrants up. and that way round the migrants in the caravans quickly getting worn down and they still a couple of months walked from mexico city, the caravans officials stopping point 6 months at their current rate from the us. where many want to eventually get to the martinez family are already on the verge of giving up, but one thing stops them on. now we have nothing back home. we sold everything and what's more, we can't go back. everybody to my husband had problems with extortion because he's a taxi driver and my son t because he didn't want to join the gangs. and those that don't join can be killed . it led anna leslie to other memories of his son. she says was so precious by the gangs to join that he took his own life in the hunt, m m a tiny gang of my son killed himself when he was 20. i mean, if i got up you're out of my life back home is tough. but so is this journey? as i said, that night we left the family sleeping in a leaky warehouse in another village, only a tiny bit further on the long walk, nor john hohmann out. is it a squint le? so the head now deserves a deepening dispute over post brings it fishing, writes the u. k. threatens to board french boats while paris again, winds of sanctions and how the increased use of hydro power in georgia is threatening a species of fish. lived alongside the dynasty. ah, ah, look forward to brighter sky's the weather. sponsored my cattle airways. it is still not particularly cold in the northeast of china or in march early, but temps are coming down again. we don't have a max of 6 in one, but our hobbin still 13 beijing's at 20, which is higher than it should be. it has cooled down significantly in japan. that was to talk about 2021. bit of rain is still possible near cache him, as you can see. and the southwest a child is rain developing should little bit late in the season, but there it is. all the same. so been around, come, but not to rent. sure. that dropping sas from that and the act to whether recently has been northern viet nam, but also this western side of borneo, seller walk. and there's more to come here. there's also a huge amount potentially in singapore peninsula, malaysia and su march, which is right with the season. but there are areas where you focus and where's re areas where you said. now this is normal, whether the focus clearly has been the abnormal weather in satellite. now as we went to the northeast masoud to pick up and it will come in, you see bit of a circulation. so heavy rain seems likely in the south of india, eastern side of town either and also for lack of this to ride further north. as you can see, mostly it's a dry picture of a northern india pakistan, nepal and bangladesh. seasonally correct, but different to recently moved the weather, sponsored by cats are always the climate has changed every year for millions of years, decades of talk. but little action is all about distract, create confusion to create smoke and mirrors. the shocking truth about how the climate debate has been systematically self voted. the oil industry was a main bank roller or opposition to climate act. the campaign against the climate. do you think that's a bad thing? more hugely, that was usually absolutely on algae 0. lou ah, the orgy out, is there a reminder of our top stories? the u. s. and french president savell their 1st in person meetings is the country's most serious diplomatic dispute. in years, joe biden acknowledged the handling of a recent security agreement with australia and the u. k. was clumsy, the you and humanitarian chief is wanting. that half of afghanistan's population is facing starvation. speaking ahead of this weekend's g, 20 summit, martin griffith's called on the world's most powerful countries to immediately release a tough canister. a thousands of people are again, walking through mexico hoping to cross into the united states. but unlike previous migrant caravans, mexican authorities are not stopping them open. the war becomes too much and they give up. the us food and drug administration has all through the pfizer by and take coven 19 vaccine for young children. that decision means 21000000 children as young as 5 could be eligible for the vaccine. charles, for the age group began in july, the dr. to vaccinate. children was spurred by rise infections of the delta variance and the reopening of schools. now let's speak to lawrence agustin in washington dcs, the director of the world health organization center on global health law. this is it positive me for you guys? right? is i think it is. and i still worry about the u. s. commitment to global vaccination in equity, but to the united states, this is a really important landmark because children 5 to 11 year old will be able to get the 5 to coven vaccine. i, it'll get our schools more stable and secure kids educated and they'll, they'll be much safer and their families will be sent for lawrence. you are the director of the world hope all guys ations center on global health law. there's a lot of vaccine hesitancy in the us. this is a lot of straight up actual, i'm not taking the vaccine. anti vax is. is the gold? do we need a law to be passed to make people take the vaccine? well, there already are a number of requirements for people to get vaccinated. president biden announce to re vaccine mandates for the entire federal workforce for hospitals, nursing homes and also for large businesses. and cities in states and businesses themselves are already requiring vaccinations. so we already have a lot of mandates. i do not foresee. i cities in states, i mandating it for children, or at least until we get some better safety data. but hey, we are 18 months, at least 18 months after the pandemic began a year into the vaccines being available on the market. and we still have these attitudes you fighting a losing battle. you thinking convincing people no, it's not a losing battle, but it's absolutely a hard battle. there's no question about it. there's so much misinformation, dis, information, social media accounts and fear mongering that, you know, that's a problem. but we're making progress in the united states and in other countries around the world. more and more people are getting vaccinated. and vaccination mandates for the workplace are really starting to, to take cold in the united states. and where we, we started to move up in our vaccination rate now that we're going to do it for young children and will even be higher. and so i'm encouraged by this move, but i'm not complacent. we need to do a lot more to get the entire population vaccinated because it's good for everyone. it's literally the only way we can get back to the semblance of normalcy is through widespread vaccination. laura's go say in washington dc, there, thank you very much. your time. my pleasure. thanks for having me. the you case running gray checks on all e vessels, fishing and its waters. if france goes ahead with a series of proposed sanctions, the escalating dispute is linked to a post briggs fishing agreement. now paris is threatening sanctions if the u. k. doesn't grow more license is the french fisherman. the british government says if those actions are implemented, it would put the e in breach of a trade agreement. alex o'brien has both in paris. the british captain has been summoned to appear in court in august next year. he's accused of fishing in french waters without a license. he had on board about 2 tons of scallops when his boat was checked and seized, taken to the french port of the half earlier this week. now those checks were part of this escalating route between the u. k and france over the rights to fission, british waters, and particularly waters around the island of jersey. a u. k. crown dependency that lies just 22 kilometers of the french coast. francis, it wasn't given the licenses it deserves, and that it expected under the post bricks at trade deal. and that has got it incredibly frustrated. so on tuesday is it said it will unveil what its calling targeted measures. if it doesn't get the license, it licenses it wants, it said that it will stop british vessels from docking and french ports that it will stay pop chicks, time consuming health and a health and safety checks on trucks going in and out of the u. k. and that could have an impact on shops like the one behind me, because france is the gateway to europe for all of those british fishing vessels and the fish that they try to sell it to the continent. there are lots of measures underway to try and prevent that happening, including possibly what we call a brush half meeting in rome. the sunday on the sidelines at the g. 20 meeting between president emmanuel mccall and the u. k. prime minister boris johnson. now both sides are being accused of ramping up the tension to play to a domestic audience. president mccall will be standing for re election and april next year. and the votes from those c side towns where fishing is a lifeline could be crucial to his re election. saddam's armed forces chief general abdul father but hong has relieved several diplomats including the ambassadors of turkey. the u. e, in south africa, has tensions escalate after this week's military coup. the u. s. is calling on general by hand to not interfere with satellites plan protest. demonstrators have been on the streets of har, 2 opposing the military, who sees power in a qu this week. actually say at least 9 people have been killed since protests began and there's also been increasing pressure on sedans, military to release of detained civilian leaders. on friday, general bowen spoke about the future of ousted pro mr. abdullah humbug. i am. so we will elect a prime minister from among independent figures and negotiations are already underway. as we speak, we have not given up on ham dock. we sent delegates to negotiate with him to resume his duties. we believe what happened has released him dark from pressures he once had. we told him that we have cleared the field for you and no one would lay obstacles on your way from this day forward. and also you have the liberty to form the government as you may wish, we will not interfere in any decision by any official. we bring along the lebanese ambassadors, the saudi arabia and bahrain of bo thing, given 48 hours to leave those countries. saudi arabia also now said stopping all lebanese imports, crossing it's borders, and recall their ambassador, lebanese prime minister and the g mccarty is urging his information minister to make the right decision to fix arab relations. george could i, he is a criticism of the saudi lead coalitions war in yemen has led to the escalating diplomatic crisis, then, or other has more from beirut. a few days ago, a video circulated on line in which the information minister was criticizing the saudi a lead military campaign in yemen, in fact, calling saudi arabia the external aggressors. now, this of course angered saudi arabia and the information minister said that his statements were made before he was appointed in the new government. they were made back in august, and this was his personal opinion. but that was just not enough for saudi arabia, even the lebanese government tried to distance itself, the prime minister, the president. they tried to distance themselves from the statements made by the information minister saying that it did not reflect lebanese government policy. but clearly with saudi arabia's decision to recall it some back for consultations and demanding that the lebanese investor in saudi arabia leave the country within 48 hours. it is just, this is just not enough. now this is going to, this is definitely a blow to the new government. so, ever since prime minister actually took office, he has been talking about, you know, trying to restore relations with the golf corporation council states. because as of late, really, the relationship between lebanon and gulf arab states has been at an all time low. in fact, especially saudi arabia believes that iran through it's local ally, has the law now controls the country. and this is why saudi arabia really has been staying on the sidelines. so the traditional partners of lebanon, the gulf are countries, the political and economic partners. they have been on the sideline as of yet. so this new incident definitely is going to further further strain. the relationship for his i was prime and it says held a security meeting to discuss recent violent protests. supporters of band political party are marching towards the capitalist lumber. they demanding action against france over the 2017

fish remarkably like the ones swimming the present day. waters of the re. owny river. 5 critically endangered species of sturgeon still spawn in the rony. that is, they travel up stream from the black sea to lay their eggs. but up stream, numerous dams have contributed to that drastic decline. this one is the voted c, hey hydropower cascade. completed in 1987. it stopped fish from reaching spawning grounds that had existed for millennia hydropower. so very proven for sure. this charges spawning grounds are the chris oh and now it's only 9 kilometer. and in the past, it was more of a 50 temperature to understand the threat to moon and needs more data. we said more galley is ready to help. he remembers the days when the sturgeon, with large and plentiful catching them, now is illegal. but if method locals know who to call. oh yes ma'am. yes, let us, we keep is alive, put it to the basket, and white the to moon, or all the others. they'll come take a sample and let them go. or if fish are released back into the river, that's delivering results. one species thought to be extinct has been rediscovered the so called chip sturgeon. but dna analysis also has revealed a worrying trend hybrid individuals, which can no longer reproduce man's intervention, his everywhere. here the river has been diverted to reduce season of flooding. recently skates used to be used for quite a different purpose. if close you could trap migrating sturgeon, and they could be caught far more easily. well, thanks to observe is on the ground, those kinds of big fishing events are far less common. it 12 monitors now patrol a 92 kilometer stretch of the re yoni. last year can add his team uncovered $22.00 incidence of poaching, including this brig of hooks designed to snag sturgeon on

the others where it went, in which direction, and we will react so that if something illegal is happening, we can stop it. the sturgeon are now better protected and better understood. but george's government once more, hydro power on this river, not less. their survival still hangs in the balance. rubbing 1st year walker al jazeera on the re only river in western georgia. ah, there's out there
