macron, this is an election year for him. he has to act to on the world stage -- tough on the world stage. we have seen an olive branch being sent out by president biden to president macron and it gave him everything he wanted. he wanted more support, which he is getting and there was a lot of talk about ending the upcoming corporation technology council was going to be canceled . i think we should be careful not to conflate france with the eu because it is a bilateral trade issue, and it is not that everyone in the eu is necessarily supporting friends on this -- france on this. host: do you agree with that particularly about sending extra -- extra help. the u.s. is going to supply extra help to french led antiterrorist operations. is that going to be enough to placate france? >> absolutely not. president biden did not comply totally to what france was expecting. of course he used diplomatic words of having better consultations, but does that mean france will be engaged with the united states, britain, countries gathered toda

macron is known to be extremely pro-european and ambitious. at least it's what he likes to portray himself as. you have presidential elections in april, but the first three months of 2022 will be an opportunity to bring forwardhe open agenda when it comes to digital affairs and climate change. in the short-term, we will see emmanuel macron coming up on the european sta, bu without strong lines, nothing really moves forward, unfortunately, so we will have to see what happens in europe, and it is hard to predict at this point in time. mark: i like that slightly veiled cynicism as emmanuel macron's view of himself. you are exactly right to put it that way. france may be keen to play partner, both putting boots on the ground as it were, but also supplying hardware, given france's defense schedule, defense market that it has. >> on defense, i think the one thing that is important to ne is we had von de leyen's speech only yesterday, and she said there was going to be a defense summit planned, so i think we can see a bit more what is happening on th

marine le pen is a hard right challenger to macron. sart of the french version of america first in a way and this is an opportunity to shore up your anti-american bona fides which are always welcome in a french political context. i do believe that's part what's going on here. i don't think that it's realistic for the french and i don't think at this point they do expect that president biden is going to reverse course in any way. in fact, tomorrow at the u.n. he's going to double down on the idea that this kind of diplomacy and this kind of challenge to china and the autocracies of the world is at the core of his foreign policy. but i have been really struck by the volume and noise with which the french have made -- have registered this complaint whether it's political or not. remember that through the whole four years of troubled relations with donald trump, they never took such a step as withdrawing the ambassador for consultations. >> indeed they never did. seth, take a listen to the recalled french ambassador to the u.s. >> translat

abengoa macron does -- a manual macron --emmanuel macron does have the chance to become the leader, especially since angela merkel will be leaving. that leaves macron in the position to leave -- lead europe . and also because the french military is a stronger than the german one. the foreign minister reminded people this morning that france is the only eu nation present in the pacific with nearly 2 million french citizens in polynesia, new caledonia, and 7000 military personnel. france has something reply if manual macron -- emmanuel macron is reelected. guy: volumes a little mixed today. ryanair leading. this is bloomberg. and there you have it— -woah. wireless on the most reliable network nationwide. wow! -big deal! ...we get unlimited for just $30 bucks. sweet, but mine has 5g included. relax people, my wireless is crushing it. that's because you all have xfinity mobile with your internet. it's wireless so good, it keeps one upping itself. switch to xfinity mobile and save hundreds on your wireless bill. plus, save up to $400 when you purchase a new samsung phone or upgrade your existing

she was asked if joe biden actually apologized to emmanuel macron. she of course did not answer that question directly, simply saying the acknowledgment was there could he been more talks, more discussions among the two allies, and that going forward, that will actually happen, and then there was a question about a little bit of variation in the wording of the french statement and the u.s. statement, that the two statements are almost exactly the same, but there's one line that stood out were basically the u.s. says that the situation cod have benefited from consultation among allies, whereas the statement says consultation among allies could have avoided the situation. then again, jen psaki not wanting to answer why there was that difference in wording between the two statements, simply saying, we are working closely. one thing that the french may not like about what jen psaki had to say is that she said multiple times that the president was now hopeful to get back to normal, return things to normal with their french counterparts. simply saying that

did she back macron? >> she's been the pillar of the french-german relationship over the past 16 years. remember during the pandemic, the recovery package of 750 billion euros clearly has the signature of angela merkel and emmanuel macron. the french president trying really hard to convince angela merkel that some common debt was not a bad idea. four different french presidents through the years, in the early 2000's angela merkel had her own relationship with jacques chirac. arguably they save the euro together. then they had some pots about austerity but join forces on international deals with the situation and crimea on the migrant crisis families, and with macron, she -- he was a young 39-year-old leader when elected. he will likely become the defect oh european leader when merkel leaves. he's building his new international leader -- image as the leader of your. tom: september 20 six is the date for the german elections but the french elections as well we should be thinking about. how much of a threat

it will be a political process led by emmanuel macron and others. i am glad they named check him but he is one of the most gifted diplomats i have ever come across. if there's somebody who can stitch these pieces together and turn it into something that looks more like the speech yesterday, it is probably him. natassia: i want to bring her in briefly because there was a lot of talk about the soul of the eu in her speech, especially around trying to come together around some kind of common interest. let me give you the last word here. do you see there being a coalescence around this idea looking into the future? >> the european soul, we will know it when we see it. i think there is a lot of skepticism depending on where you sit in europe. out -- i was in estonia. they are skeptical about france guarding their interests. we even saw what the pandemic that the gates went up when it came with masks. italy was angry at france. do you think they will trust them if they have any sort of need for military intervention? this is one of the things that will di

but my reading is that president macron feels that the message isn�*t getting through. he fears that in america, australia, britain, they take the french reaction to be one of anger over the loss of the contract. the contract, i think from the french point of view, is the least of it. yes, there�*s money at stake, but far more important in french eyes is the loss of face, the humiliation and the sense that things have been cooked up behind their back. this was a deal arranged between the americans, the australians and the british, three english—speaking nations, without any kind of consultation with france, who they insist are after all a nation with a stake in the pacific region because they have territory out there in polynesia and new caledonia. there is a huge degree of anger and the recall of the ambassadors, though not significantly the british ambassador, is meant to reinforce this feeling that france is very unhappy, fears that there�*s a new world order being sorted out behind its back in which it has no part. now, as if there weren�*t enough pressures

phil, president biden speaking with macron today. i know that the white house thought this was making too much of a big deal over something, having been at the u.n., talking to french officials, there are words for how they felt about all this which i can't say on television, even in french, but they're not taking it lightly. >> not at all, andrea. reading the statement from the white house a few minutes ago, it does appear the two presidents patched things up and agreed to meet in october in europe to discuss further, and importantly macron announced according to the statement, macron agreed to send the french ambassador back to washington next week and the ambassador will continue discussions on the u.s. side. there seems to be some sort of commitment from both countries to repair the relationship and an acknowledgment by biden that the communication channels were not what they should have been leading up to the announcement earlier this month of the deal with australia. >> ashley, is there any acknowledgment of white house nationa

as we move toward the presidential election, security is a big topic of discussion and macron will see challenges from the right on security. he will want to put up a strong front on his commitment to security. that legacy is very important and crucial in france's security law, but the testimonies we will hear from witnesses, from survivors, is i think the most important testament to all of this. anchor: as you said, a story that has almost never ended for the past six years. andrew smith, thank you very much for your time. turning our attention to guinea, where colonel mamady doumbouya has banned officials from leading the nation, as he attempts to tighten his grip on the country. they have vowed to create a national unity administration after they dissolved the government and parliament on sunday. we have the latest. reporter: a day after the ousting of guinea's president condÉ, the streets of the capital under patrol by soldiers. land and air borders have been closed, but on monday it was announced that air frontiers have been reopened. >> we are announcing the reopening of air bor

a mina macron made the announcement on twitter. these types of announcements are usually made by the defense minister. he wants to draw attention to his military success ahead of his presidential campaign. it comes at a time where there is an increase in attacks with governments in the region looking at a rival of france for protection. while there are more than 13,000 soldiers, molly is seeking additional deployment of private russian fighters, much to the displeasure of france. >> there's a standoff between french president macron and french leadership. france threatened to pull troops if the leadership goes through with the deal to bring the group into molly. expect france to retain the ability to maintain strikes from outside the border. nicholas: the death is a setback for the isul affiliate, but is not set an end for an armed group across the region. nicholas haack, al jazeera. barbara: still ahead on al jazeera. lebanon delivers a convoy of much-needed fuel, but has been accused of using the commodity as a political weapon.

very often the approach to emmanuel macron. that is seen as forceful those are the arguments i think will make it obvious for french people with left wing heart that hidalgo is the best candidate to win the election >> it seems that one key challenges for hidalgo is can she appeal outside of paris? she is still relatively unknown figure outside of paris where she is mayor how can she appeal to a rural population and people not in paris and in the regions >> actually, she is quite well known. it makes sense she is associated with paris she is the mayor right now she started a few months ago to tour throughout france and to visit a lot of the different territories. the most important thing is she is very much supported by all those mayors throughout france those are the big cities where she is also very -- she has a lot of mayors from smaller cities and many socialist mayors that are leading a green and social majority and have experience from rural territories as well as bigger cities and they are really at the forefront of the

so joe biden and emmanuel macron will speak on the phone this week. this was requested by joe biden, who is trying to relieve the tensions. france and germany have already been criticizing the decision to leave afghanistan too quickly, so clearly emmanuel macron does not want to leave it there. he also has an election in seven months, and in a way, this is also partly directed at his mastech audience, -- his domestic audience, he wants to show a strong hand with allies. manus: that certainly came through in my inbox over the weekend, it is more about emmanuel macron posturing. caroline, we will see you soon. let's get the first word news and monday morning set the agenda. angel? angel: u.k. energy companies seeking a massive government bailout as a surge in electricity prices threatens. there have been a third day of -- there will be a third day of emergency talks on monday. largest suppliers are seeking a rescue plan to help them handle the cost of taking on customers. china's top regulators defended their multisector market crackdown to wall street

emmanuel macron will speak as he seeks clarification. reuters is reporting that paris has called off a defense meeting with the uk. joining was more is our correspondent. france clearly still concerned about the submarine contract what exactly is their posture and what are they hoping to achieve at this moment? roy: the french are not letting it go one of the main reasons p behind it is that macron faces re-election in seven months' time, so this anger is directed at domestic audience. he wants to show that he is tough and in front of allies. and that is not letting it go. so after the very strong words we heard last week from the foreign minister saying it was a step -- a stab in the back, france has canceled their meeting over the weekend the french ambassador saying this is affecting the vision we have of allies and reliance. whether the adequate response of emmanuel macron -- how is this going to shape in the next few days but clearly this is deteriorating the image of the u.s. in france tandz relationship between the u.s. and europe

ordered back home by president macron, the french ambassador to canberra was as polite as he could be about the reasons for france�*s anger. i think this has been a huge mistake. a very, very bad handling of the partnership because it was not a contract. it was a partnership. this evening, the foreign minister, jean yves le drian, spoke again on national television. translation: there has been lying, duplicity, a major- breach of trust and contempt. this will not do. things are not going well between us. it means there is a crisis. i am with the president of france and that makes me feel better. they laugh just a few months ago, it was all smiles at the g7 summit in cornwall between presidents biden and macron, and all talk of cooperation and shared challenges. but behind—the—scenes the french are convinced that the three english—speaking nations were hatching the plan to cut them out. the fallout is potentially very great. this puts a big rift down the middle of the nato alliance, pushes france towards doing more with other european countries, puts britain very much in the ca

we have seen macron's standing go down. we have seen him as an ally who's been a champion of the nato alliance and a champion of the western democracy. i am curious who was so blind around anybody could be so blind to do that with your closest allies. if you are going to have a job whistling to the president telling him you better get it right, it's blunder. >> it's over estimation as the idea that europe would be okay with the idea, hey, america is back now. it's not trump anymore, it's biden. >> so we can run over europe the way trump ran over europe. >> let's not forget that it comes over the hills to come out of afghanistan. nato and french is a big partner there correctly. this is a bit of a foreign policy mess. we are not going to compare with the biden administration of where they were with trump. and yesterday's call did go a long way to calm things down. two presidents are going to meet either in italy or scotland. they'll have some time and have some differences. this comes as a moment where the u.s. perhaps has n

the souring of relations is in stark contrast to when president macron visited an australian submarine in 2018. with an election coming early next year, he has, perhaps, to act tough, but his angry reaction has broad support. for most people, it�*s not the government that�*s been humiliated, but france, and it�*s a row that could have major implications for future international security. hugh schofield, bbc news, paris. the headlines on bbc news: rising global gas prices — ministers say they�*ve been assured there�*s no "cause for immediate concern" over the supply of gas, after a meeting with industry leaders — as at least 4 energy companies are expected to go bust next week. of gas, after a meeting with industry leaders — holiday firms say they expect a surge in bookings, after travel restrictions in england are relaxed. france is recalling its ambassadors to australia and the united states, in protest over a security deal, which includes the uk. relatives of the family of ten afghan civilians, killed in an american drone strike in kabul last month, say the attack amo

macron and mr. merkel, in terms of age and style, one being impatient, the other prudent. it was a particularly strong relationship and it all culminated in the covid recovery fund both proposed in may 2020 for both countries the macron, duo, paris is confident they can work closely and easily with the next chancellor but it could be an opportunity for france to be more influential within the eu block now that merkel, the leading leader in the block, is leaving and can be for france increasing also remember that france has the eu rotating presidency from january. so maybe the chance to push for more autonomy and independence is at the core of macron's policy, that can be an opportunity for macron himself, he is facing a vote in april 2022 to be again voted for president. so that could be also an opportunity for him to raise his profile on the european scene. so now no matter what happens we know that france and germany don't decide everything within the eu, of course, but these two countries need to be on the same page for things to move forward and the scenarios on the ta

macron also said the national policing scheme for protests would be unveiled by november. it will outline rules and rights for those taking part in demonstrations. the issue has become particularly sticky since the univest protest movement began in 2018. the security consultations were launched after the beating of a black man in his own music studio in november last year, which forced macron to acknowledge police violence. the president has denied a problem of institutional racism in french law and order, but admitted to a problem of racial profiling. the measures are part of an internal security loss to be presented to ministers early next year. tom: time now for some business news here on france 24 with kate moody, our business editor with me in studio. all eyes are on the tech world, on apple as it unveils new products. kate: yes, a new iphone,umber 13, 2 ipads and a new apple watch. . none of the new products are necessarily revolutionary according to analysts, although they feature 5g connectivity, better cameras,. . and longer-lasting batteries like other producers,

is up to emmanuel macron to pick up the phone. many have said it would be better for joe biden to warn emmanuel macron that the u.s. was going to take the deal away from france. then there is the united kingdom, which has joined forces with the other two, and cost a lot of irritation in france and catty comments from the french defense minister, who has said we are not going to withdraw the ambassador from france from the u.k. because the u.k. is being its usual self, which is to say, not sincere, even though boris johnson has been making comments today to try to bridge the gap and saying france is still -- the u.k. is still a valuable popular -- very valuable ally of france. anchor: again, when the ambassador is speaking, we will take you live. in the u.s., migrants are being flown out of the country, 3000 so far sent back by air since friday. the migrants are mostly from haiti, fleeing gang violence and national disasters. we know what has been going on in haiti, for many years. these migrants set up camp under an international

remember president macron is in the cycle. this kind of public humiliation, how france sees this, the announcement of the pact and the cancellation of the french contract, is a humiliation, so they have recalled for the first time ever their ambassador to the u.s. and australia and their talk about duplicity when this talk was sealed. listen to what the minister said this weekend. >> translator: this is very symbolic there was a lie, there was duplicity. there was a major breech of trust and disdain. things are not going well behind us, not at all it means there's a crisis. there is a symbolic aspect we recalled our ambassadors to try to understand and show these former partner countries our deep miscontent but we'll have the occasion to evaluate our position to look t a our interest in australia and the united states. >> this is really about the method on how the deal came through. france said they had discussions with the u.s. and australian authorities in the past few weeks, including a visit of the u.s. secretary of state

. >>> france's president macron has skipped coming to the u.n. this year perhaps another sib of the fury that the u.s. secretly made a nuclear submarine deal with australia canceling a 5-year-old contract to buy subs from france. america's oldest ally calling the deal a knife in the back and taking the unprecedented step of recalling the ambassador to the u.s. back to paris who appeared from paris on "morning joe" today. >> president biden has indeed to posed to have a conversation, a call, with president macron. hopefully will happen in the next days. we'll prepare it and we'll try to rebuild the trust. we have had this reaction because we thought it was a really serious breach of trust. >> joining me is the ambassador that served as the french ambassador to the united states from 2014 to 2019. before that, france's ambassador to the united nations. thank you. we should point out, ambassador, that our friend ambassador tiene in front of the arch which is wrapped by christo so that recently opened to new visitors. anyway, thank you very much. tha

in june, macron awarded him a bravery medal for his actions in 2019 when his helicopter crashed. he was injured and he still managed to save the lives of two of his colleagues. this is the reason why the french press, his family and his peers have been calling him a national hero. it's a title that he didn' particularly enjoy when he was alive. he always said in interviews that he was simply doing his job, but last week, he became the 52nd french soldier to die in the region in west africa fighting since 2013. >> yena lee our reporter at that special ceremony in paris to honor the french soldier, maxime blasco who was killed on the border of mali in an anti-jihadist campaign there, part of the operation against terrorism in that region of africa. algeria has summoned the french intror. this follows the french government's pledge to slash the number of visas being made available to nationals. the move is in response to the north african's government to take back illegal migrants sent home by french authorities. so ajeera recalling the ambassador, summoning the ambassador. morocco

macron. 0f the next few days —— president macron. of course it will cool because i think the nato alliance is so strategically important for everybody who is involved in it. this spot is basically a bout a procurement deal, it's not about the solidity of nato. shill procurement deal, it's not about the solidity of nato.— solidity of nato. all right, 0k, workin: solidity of nato. all right, 0k, working to _ solidity of nato. all right, 0k, working to move _ solidity of nato. all right, 0k, working to move on _ solidity of nato. all right, 0k, working to move on to - solidity of nato. all right, 0k, working to move on to the - solidity of nato. all right, ok, | working to move on to the daily telegraph. johnson to press the us to open up for uk visitors. prime ministers white house trip aims to convince president biden over travel ban. we saw the ditching of the traffic light system. now countries are on a red list or they are open for travel. and a lot more countries have been taken off

the souring of relations is in stark contrast to when president macron visited an australian submarine in 2018. with an election coming early next year, he has, perhaps, to act tough, but his angry reaction has broad support. for most people, it�*s not the government that�*s been humiliated, but france, and it�*s a row that could have major implications for future international security. hugh schofield, bbc news, paris. the headlines on bbc news. rising global gas prices — ministers say they�*ve been assured there�*s no "cause for immediate concern" over the supply of gas, after a meeting with industry leaders — as at least 4 energy companies are expected to go bust next week. there was a heavy police presence on capitol hill in washington earlierfor a rally by hard—right supporters of rioters who attacked the us senate and house of representatives injanuary. france is recalling its ambassadors to australia and the united states, in protest over a security deal, which includes the uk. relatives of the family of ten afghan civilians, killed in an american drone strike in

, you had borisjohnson saying, oh, me and joe biden talked about how astonished we were at emmanuel macron�*s annoyance at the uk—us—australia submarine pact, which was basically done at the expense of an existing french deal, but then a few hours after that, joe biden puts out a joint statement with emmanuel macron saying, oh, we acknowledge that this whole process could have maybe been handled better if we had shared more information with you, how do those two things reconcile. well, those two things can be true, so i think borisjohnson and joe biden, the us and the uk were both surprised at how the french took it, they were surprised at the sort of level of outrage, but what also emerged during the talks, i understand, is that they both kind of said, wasn't scott morrison, wasn't he, like, meant to tell them? he told us he was going to tell the french. but they all agreed well, hang on a minute, france is an important ally, so we did not think they were going to be that cross! but we do need to try and kind of sort this out, because no one wants to fall out, so, lo and behold, ok,

look what happened when emmanuel macron stuck a tax on fuel in france. the yellow vest protest. it is a balancing act. governments are trying to pick their way through. stefanie, has it come up much during the campaign in germany? very much. the question of climate change but also the question of what businesses do with it, and this is going to be one of the big challenges after sunday night, when we'll have the results, and i think we are going to talk about this later a little bit, but who is going to form a coalition. and the junior partners in this case are the crucial parties to look at, and on the one hand you have the liberals, in the german case very pro—business. they are less ambitious when it comes to tackling global warming. and then on the other side, you have the green party. we heard before in the bbc report from katya adler about young people. so many young people in germany, this is their top priority. they will vote for the greens because they want this to be the number one challenge to be solved for the future, but of course german businesses are saying this

then in july, macron took a gamble. just as vaccination centers were emptying, as vaccine hesitancy kicked in, and french hospitals were being overrun by the delta variant. >> they took the risk to say i will make the life of the nonvaccinated very difficult. which is a very, very, very bad mistake. >> reporter: protests followed. one of the biggest came on july 31st, just a couple of weeks after macron made his speech. across france, 204,000 people took to the streets, according to the interior ministry, but for all of the noise, the very same day, more stood in line for the injection. most people understood that the alternative was yet another lockdown. it was saying to the french, she says, that if you're vaccinated, you can live like you used to. this health pass will give you your freedom back. now, france has one of the best vaccination rates in the world. over 62%. and despite the spread of the delta variant, hospital admissions have gone down. >> the line goes faster if another people are vaccinated, to sort of

president biden and emmanuel macron will hold talks in october. another two energy suppliers in the uk have gone out of business caused by the huge increase in the cost of gas. the firms have 800 thousand customers between them. all affected customers will continue to receive energy while a new supplier is appointed. lava pouring from a volcano on the spanish island of la palma has damaged hundreds of homes, as it heads towards the coast. thousands of people have been forced to flee the path of the law of r. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are sonia sodha, chief leader writer at the observer and matt dathan, home affairs editor of the times. tomorrow's front pages, starting with... let male. britain faces a winter of woe proclaims the paper as it says millions of people may be hit with bill increases of more than for hundred pounds. the guardian reports the gas firms may face a windfall taxes the energy crisis is set to hit eight households. the eyes says up hit eight households. the

this contract was important to macron. the problem was the contract was running behind schedule. it was costing too much. and as china ease capabilities kept advancing, the submarines were not sophisticated enough to meet the needs of pacific defense for australia, which lives in the neighborhood. it's a reflection, obviously the french should have been put into the loop earlier. they should have been more informed. they should have been allowed to break the news to their own voters in a way that would not be injurious to president macron. that just seems a courtesy, but the biden administration is building a stronger naval capability in the pacific. i want to take advantage of this moment to say one thing. i know the show is watched also in my native canada. can canadian viewers need to see why isn't canada in this consortium of the most intimate allies to put a restraint on china? >> april, what do you make of this diplomatic situation? this is just stunning that the u.s. and france would be in a situation like this. i understand that the ambassador to the u.s. from france was

ordered back home by president macron, the french ambassador to canberra was as polite as he could be about the reasons for france's anger. i think this has been a huge mistake. a very, very bad handling of the partnership because it was not a contract. it was a partnership. this evening, the foreign minister, jean yves le drian, spoke again on national television. translation: there has been lying, duplicity, a major- breach of trust and contempt. this will not do. things are not going well between us. it means there is a crisis. i am with the president of france and that makes me feel better. they laugh just a few months ago, it was all smiles at the g7 summit in cornwall between presidents biden and macron, and all talk of cooperation and shared challenges. but behind—the—scenes the french are convinced that the three english—speaking nations were hatching the plan to cut them out. the fallout is potentially very great. this puts a big rift down the middle of the nato alliance, pushes france towards doing more with other european countries, puts britain very much in the camp

and look what happened when emmanuel macron stuck a climate tax on fuel and diesel in france. the yellow vest protests, yeah. that lead to all kinds of trouble for him, so it's a balancing act. it's very, very difficult. governments are trying to pick their way through. stefanie, has it come up much during the election campaign in germany? yeah, very much. the question of climate change but also the question of what do businesses do with it, and this is going to be one of the big challenges after sunday night, when we'll have the results, and i think we are going to talk about this later a little bit, but who is going to form a coalition. and the junior partners in this case are the crucial parties to look at, and on the one hand you have the liberals, in the german case very pro—business. they are less ambitious when it comes to tackling global warming. and then on the other side, you have the green party. we heard before in the bbc report from katya adler about young people. so many young people in germany, this is their top priority. they will vote for the greens because

macron that the u.s. defense pact announcement would have benefited from open consultations among allies. so an olive branch thrown to the french to say, we probably botched the communication but they're not changing the dole. i don't know what emannuel macron's move was after he hung up the phone call. we don't know. probably did not happen like that. we have the administration as it deals with covid and particularly the booster shot issue the cdc is deciding on as we speak. jackie? reporter: president biden made announcement last hour that the u.s. will donate 500 million covid vaccines to undeveloped countries, that comes as the administration is pushing for booster for vaccinated americans as the world poor is waiting their first shot. the fda advisory panel voted down the plan for pfizer booster for all americans, the white house said it was not a binary choice buying boosters for americans, helping out the rest of the world. they're backing that up with a shot donation as part of a virtual covid sum
