they will have more comprehensive capabilities. taiwan regularly holds drills to prepare for such an invasion. thanks in part to sophisticated military equipment from its ally the united states. it's so far been confident of deterring any aggression. but china's rapid military build up has been closing that cap and making it, but enormous pressure psychologically and operationally on taiwan would in taiwan society as well as i one armed forces. it also appears to be looking to undermine ty, when's president saying when, who has been coal to the idea of closer relations and is seen by china as an obstacle to its ultimate goal of unification. with these latest incursions, it seems by jing wants to send a message about the changing dynamics across the taiwan strait. not only to taiwan, but to the international community, including the united states. at

towards a full membership. now, oh you for it's part is saying that it's going to send a very clear message during the summer to the west, the balkans that they are indeed one day are going to be part of the you. but we don't have any time frame for that, but the head of the commissioner is lavonne delayed. she said look, there are some obstacles in the way. there are problems with corruption in the region. the rule of law and there are tensions in the region, most notably between serbia on kosovo. but there were those who say that the you cannot turn it back on the western balkans or leave them disillusioned with goals because then they may look elsewhere. we've already seen the growing influence of russia and china are in the region. and that is something of course that you would want to avoid. a western balkans are on the european continent and they don't want them to become a security risk. the nobel prize in chemistry has been jointly awarded to,

molecules as catalyst is got lots of benefits in terms of the, of our men in terms of costs, metals al, from very expensive and also in terms of toxicity. and so the work of these chemists has it's got incredibly far reaching an applications and it is what that is, is, is only going to be expanding over the years. and yet this is a really, is a very interesting, i'm nobel prize. it wasn't exactly what we were maybe expecting that definitely big names in the field. but they one at the top of our predictions list. i've got to say that, but that does not mean that it's not an in an incredibly important award. capitalistic, just their central to everything and chemistry. a u. k prime minister bras, johnson says his government will change the direction of the british economy and move away from what he called uncontrolled immigration. giving his keynote speech to the conservative party conference, johnson and promised to end

a broken model of low wages and growth. the answer to the present stresses and strains which are mainly a function of growth and economic revival is not to reach for that same old lever of uncontrolled immigration to keep wages low. the answer is to control immigration to allow people of talent to come to this country, but not to use immigration as an excuse for failure to invest in people in skills and in the equipment, the facility theory. and let's be to pull brennan, who's monitoring the conference in manchester there pulled. so damage control as that is the country remains in crisis. our british voters by it today well, the sense from here, the conservative party conference as portrayed by boris johnson, his crisis. what crisis, frankly, i have to say that the conservative faithful bounced into this conference that the

weekend full of beans is their 1st gathering in person for 2 years since they at one that general election in 2019. and this is a particularly bravura performance by prime minister boris johnson. nice as some would say typically. and he is developing the themes that he has been talking up throughout the whole 4 days so far here in manchester or the transition as he describes it or that might be painful but is necessary. and he says, from britain being a, a low income, low skill economy dependent on what some ministers have been describing, either as the in or that the uncontrolled immigration that they say there, that business has been drunk on this low cost labor created by immigration in the prime minister wants the u. k. to have the guts, as he described this, to move to a high wage, high skill, high productivity economy. yes, it's against the backdrop of 500 percent increases in wholesale gas prices,

which has created problems for industry. either have been chronic shortages of h t v, lory drivers, which have created supply chain problems. we've seen queues at federal stations. we've seen some petrol stations run dry. we've seen empty shelves on supermarkets as well. we've got inflation running at more than 3 percent. so there is a question about whether the kind of high wages that the prime minister wants to see will actually simply exacerbate those problems and, and create watts. many people fear will be a cost of living crisis as we move into the winter. but for the moment or the prime minister says he's not for turning, he wants to tough it out. he believes it's absolutely necessary for the u. k. economy to pursue the strategy that he is, is plotting and, and his sad detailing at to the party faithful and certainly within the party. delegates the scenes roared. support for that, although there are misgivings about whether the conservative party, which has been traditionally low tax pro business, is actually somehow evolving into a new kind of party with high taxes that boris johnson has introduced. and clearly

higher business costs as a result of the higher wages that he wants to see her i am poor, i suppose, in a way for the population in a way. it's not about the, the long term policy. it's more about the uncertainty of the next few weeks months . well yeah, i mean, clearly there's going to be a dilemma and, and her neck contradiction if you like, between the long term strategy, the bonus johnson is pursuing and, and the need to endure this kind of short term pain. today is the day that a temporary uplifted to a social benefit called universal credit. it was an extra 20 pounds or $27.00 in the pockets of many of the very low income earners. armed many unemployed r for and 10 of them actually do have a job, but they're so lowly paid. they still need at social benefits from the government. today is the day that that benefits stops. now that's going to create real issues for nearly 6000000 people. and the other thing is,

are you know what the government is talking about a higher wage economy, the 2 and a half 1000000 public sector workers whose pay is frozen. so they will not benefit from the idea of higher wages coming through as a result of the lack of immigrant immigrant labor. meaning that employers have to pay more to british workers. so there are contradictions there. and it's, it's far from clear that the, our population, as this winter of cost of living rises, started bite will actually fully support this. that said, the prime minister's insist that he is going to pursue it. he described it as a reforming can do government or a book. thanks very much for that poor. brilliant bear in mind. thank you. still had her now desert turkey and as a badge on hold joint exercises after ron's military drills in a border region. and what protest is in southern iraq say, taking the streets is more effective than headed to hold

days pass more questions are being raised about how quickly authorities and the pipeline company responded to the incident. the coast guard was 1st notified of dirty water on friday night. at that time, in the approaches nightfall, she can be very difficult to see on the water. the information from the reporting source that coast guard investigator spoke with was inconclusive. so it was saturday morning before it went out to investigate the reports that same morning about who i am and alon had sounded and amplify energies control room warning that pressure had dropped in the pipeline. early finding show, the company waited more than 3 hours to shut it off. the pipeline had been split open and apparently dragged more than 50 meters along the ocean floor, possibly by ships anchor. it st. hundreds of thousands of liters of oil spilling into the water. and on to beaches and protected marsh land,

california's governor says the spell is more proof, aging oil platforms need to be phased out. so it's time once and for all to disabuse ourselves that this has to be part of our future. this is part of our past, and we can moralize and talk about the good old days. we can talk about how important these rigs have been to the prosperity of this country in the middle class. but at the end of the day, this is about the stale air of normal sale versus the fresh air progress. safety advocates have pushed the years for tougher rules on detecting spills and things like automatic valves to shut down the flow of oil. but the industries resisted such measures because of the costs involved along this coastline. beaches could remain closed for weeks and the pipeline companies being investigated, to the possible negligence expert, say it's too early to know the full cost to the local economy and environment. alixia brian al jazeera iran for

the standoff continues. mohammed i da, well just either put to done this month's legitimacy of election in iraq was one of the top demands of anti government purchase. in 2019 more than 600 people were killed during those demonstrations. and the city of nasiriyah saw the largest 2nd largest number of casualties. not many people there say bel boycott. the election mahmoud and white houses of tuba will see iraq's contentious legislative election. but for many in the city of nasiriyah, the month is associated with grief. and dissent, security forces have killed at least 150 of the cities young people since october 2019. they were part of the anti government to protest known as the shrine. a nation wide movement that eventually ousted prime minister. idle abdul maddie says jets or todd was an activist whose comments were directed against corrupt politicians. his advocacy for equality and freedom of his speech were widespread.

his mother says she hasn't heard from him since he was kidnapped by gunmen in september of last year. she doesn't know where he's being held, or even if his alive and yet his v m looked after them in the dominant political party and the city is behind us because he was so critical and outspoken about their crimes and violations, candidates posters of the freud or band in many parts of the city and angry protestors have burned down the headquarters of several political parties. no, was on his friends, are familiar, revolutionary faces in nasiriyah. they believe the whole electoral process is a farce. because it's been hijacked by the same political parties. they those up against 2 years ago to fill out the shower in the majority of revolutionaries or against the election because it will give legitimacy again to unwonted parties and their armed groups, which killed and kidnapped our friends. but they gather to mark the 2nd anniversary

many here in a city, i believe the election will not bring to what they hope for. instead, they say that of lucian is, is still happening and taken to the streets is the best way to get their message across my mood up through a head and dizzy up in the city. a city southern iraq grew numbers of people in brazil is struggling to afford food because of the economic fall out from coven 19 . many are facing poverty are and are unable to feed themselves. a nutritional dart off of the government scale down 8 turnbury houses. eating every day has become a challenge for people like 80 ton, a former prisoner who lives on the streets of really gernado surviving here the past year he says has been a challenge there, whether this government us up a new meal issue since the beginning of the pandemic the streets are very crowded, and everything is become very difficult. now, no one stops here to help us. there are

a lot of people dying because they couldn't get emergency aid. the impact of coven 19 has devastated brazil. almost 600000 people have lost their lives and millions have been forced into poverty. i mean, rising food prices and unemployment. researchers say at least 19000000 brazilians are struggling for food. and recent images of people's caving animal carcasses for scraps of food have shocked the country as the difficulties people are facing each day. sinking though lucky begun with i've taken meat from the truck many times. we take the meat and are happy. but now there's a lot of demand because everyone has caught onto it. they either taking it from the truck or straight from the supermarket. at the beginning of the pandemic, for sales press it enjoyable. tornado campaigned against lockdown, saying hunger was worse than coven 19. that's why last year the government distributed emergency cash handouts to help families and businesses. but this year, government aid has been dramatically scaled back. was another problem is that on

the one hand, he has a very new liberal ah, minister of economics that does not want to spend, does not want to provide direct help for, for the population. also not always campaign against the program. so he would say that both of amelia was an immediate how bad lula and the politicians for the workers party from better use to buy people's votes to buy bose ah good will. right. so as a substantial, as our program there was g. people from working there is an ideal ideological barrier at the soup kitchen and real hundreds of people are showing every day to receive a meal. they're in desperate need of help. they brought with rob, i learned of him, but her dad can really pretty ohio. i was working, i had a job,

i rented an apartment and i was able to pay the rent. i worked and under salary every month than the panoramic game, i lost my job. i couldn't pay my rent anymore. volunteers and they sold kitchen, say, most of those coming here face a similar situation. we have lost their jobs and cannot afford to pay a rent anymore. 20 years ago, brazil became a success story when government programs pushed millions of people out of poverty. now it's an example of the government's inability to deal with the consequences of coven 19. that is, i will, i'll just cedar ah, so the 0.
