start in taiwan. the island makes the news every so often, because it's caught in a kind of tug of war between china and the us. and lately things have really been heating up. so what's behind it? all my team and i looked into it for this episode of our explain our series start here. ah, let's talk about taiwan. and the taiwan strait. because right now, these waters aren't exactly called us ships have been transiting the strike monthly, angering by j. china sending nearly a 150 warplanes into ty, wants air defense zone, forcing taiwan, spider jets to scramble with taiwan, caught in a kind of tug of war between the u. s. and china. there are genuine fears about where this could all, i'm not the only way that the u. s. in china would go to war, would be over taiwan. so why his taiwan such

a flash point between 2 of the world's biggest powers? why is the island not officially considered a country? and what do microchips have to do with it all? ah, taiwan is an island stuck in a kind of political limbo. it's a democratic self governing territory just over the water and china, which claims taiwan is its own. but many taiwanese take issue with that, then you out in the us, which is taken on the role of neighborhood cock. and you end up with taiwan is the focus for many big competing interests. but to understand how we got here, you have to know the back story. how long has rules by imperial china for 200 years, then japan had it for 50 years after winning a war against china, but winter pan loft, and world war 2, china, one of the victors got taiwan back again. then you had the chinese civil war. now

they don't, communist forces took over the mainland while the other side, the nationalist forces a chunk. i shack escaped to taiwan. the 1949 china sort of split into. and you had to rival governments, one in taiwan, one in beijing, both claiming they were the true government of china. the site in taiwan was known as the republic of china, the r o c. and that's still the islands official named today. and on the mainland, the communist party declared a brand new chinese state, the peoples republic of china, p r c for short. now remember us wasn't exactly a fan of communism. and so it was the r o c in taiwan that mostly gone to international recognition, including a seat at the un, but by the 1970s. that didn't really make sense anymore. the un passed a resolution confirming the representatives from the p r c. as the only lawful

representatives of china to the united nations. and so the r o c was out, we are in the circuit. we're being so thinking. so what does all this mean for taiwan political status today? when that leaves it in that limbo we talked about at the beginning. now from beijing's perspective, it's pretty clear. china is one country and taiwan is part of it. right now, the island governs itself. the beijing position is that eventually it'll be reunited with the mainland. and lately chinese president, she den paying has been emphasizing that a lot and linking it to his big policy known as national rejuvenation. piper. felipe, she walked home either sweet bought di for means off wishing her yes. grown you. what? so what about taiwan status? according to taiwan, will the president sighing when and her party have never fully accepted the idea that taiwan is a part of china. but at the same time,

they're not explicitly pushing for taiwan to be recognized as independent. it is a bit of a fudge. really. they say that taiwan is effectively independent, so they just want things to stay the way they are woman equate cheney towards a hands on me and me and i've yet. okay, so what about the us? well, their position is also a bit of a fudge. it even has an official name, strategic ambiguity. on the one hand, they do acknowledge that taiwan is a part of china and not an independent country. there's no official u. s embassy, anti pay for example. but on the other hand, they sort of want china to leave taiwan alone, and the u. s. has suggested they would defend taiwan militarily in certain circumstances. are reported. united states is may clear, did china did it, would defend taiwan on its own chinese attack as unprovoked. and on the flip side is made clear to taiwan that it will not come to taiwan. deed only if the chinese

a type is provoked. so that's the big picture. if things spin out of control, we could potentially be talking about a war between the us and china. it means that when things are tense around taiwan, it's a big deal and things have been getting tons under president donald trump, the you got a lot cozier with taiwan than previous presidents and biden's administration has effectively continued in the same direction over in taiwan. the political climate shifted in 2016 when president sign went to go over from the prob, aging president. she's been pretty outspoken against basing. and the question of taiwan status has taken on new significance after people in taiwan saw what china did and hong kong. the people i was so what they treated on home, we just feel like that it promises it's not something we can trust has been completely absorbed into china. the last remaining piece that is missing is taiwan

. then you out of the fact that both taiwan and china are expounding their military . so when we see headlines about china flying, 150 warplanes near taiwan, and the u. s. according to this wall street journal report secretly deploying troops there. well, it's no small thing. the potential for war does exist. i do not think it is very high, but i do believe it is growing. there are few other factors that raise the stakes even higher when we're talking about taiwan. first up, its location, it fits in what's called the 1st island chain in the western pacific that extends to japan in the north, all the way down to indonesia in the south going through the philippines. and so if china were to take over taiwan in detroit, appealing forces on taiwan that were truly posed next, substantial treachery to can. and japan, of course, is a very important ally of the united states. then there are those micro chips we

mentioned earlier, taiwan in the world leader when it comes to semi conductor technology, the tiny chips that the world has come to rely on their, in everything from smartphones to aircraft. as far as the smallest, most advanced chips go around 980 percent of them are made in taiwan. this actually is a capability of china's aspiring to, as are the necessary question of what would happen if trying to control that production. the other big thing about taiwan is that it acts as a kind of lightning rod for the big political rivalry between the u. s. and china and how they see themselves and each other for the chinese respect, the richest seems likely more gemalto the u. s. r. is most powerful economic, military and political country in the world have a wallet stay that way. i want is now a mature and vibrant democracy in the united states as a launched in a commitment to protecting and advancing democracy. let's not forget about the

24000000 people who lived there. a recent poll suggests around 10 percent of taiwanese say they want unification with china at some point. 34 percent say they want independence at some point. but a majority 51 percent say they simply want to keep things the way they are forever . most people believe that the best scenario for taiwan, for the the, the short one at least, is just kicking the can down the road, helping taiwan to preserve its freedoms. continued to have economic prosperity, having a limited voice in the international community. but being able to essentially be an autonomous entity. things with taiwan might be ambiguous, but maybe it's better that way. maybe a taiwan is an example. we're doing nothing as actually the best option. though if

you've been following the news out of belarus recently, you'll have seen the desperate situation for refugees stuck at the border there. while in western europe we've been seeing more and more people trying to make the dangerous journey across the english channel. jo holton has been covering the refugee crisis europe for many years. he's a camera man for al jazeera based and berlin. and in this episode of between us, he takes us back to what was happening in 2015 and talks about the personal impact . the stories had on him, ah, the refugee crisis was just starting in 2015. there was an estimate of the 1000000 and a half refugees arriving in germany. this amount gave rise to the far right cross euro. it's being made difficult for certain refugees to come here or to say, i'm jill holton. i'll just there were the berlin camera men and between us,

the refugee crisis has moved me emotionally more than anything else. in my career, the most refugees that we've met covering the story were fleeing the war in serial numbers of debts. people drowning in the mediterranean woods, rise day by day. it was quite an emotional ride for all of us as a team to see families, children, babies having to go through the stages of fleeing being endangered all the time. at that point, my 1st daughter was just born and it was quite emotional for me to cover because you compare it obviously to your own child. when you see a new born with their parents having to do that journey and had a very strong effect on me, it's touching me now. i mean these refugees

have to accept every risk to go to wherever they want to go. they jump on trains, they got underneath trucks. that was the one story that we covered where they would find this truck with people caged in. it was summer. it was 40 degrees outside and these people suffocated inside that truck. and it was left on the side of the road until i was found by the police covering that story. and it's not something you see every day being confronted with the smell of dead people. you're often confronted with people that have not understood what these people have been going through. the toughest for me was to film members of the, the, because you can tell that there are very, very manipulative that they are quite aware of what they're telling you is not the

reality. but what they, once the viewers to believe there was a certain mindset these far right groups played on its fear, playing on the fears of people telling them that we will lose our culture, or we be overrun by refugees, fear of losing their job because a refugee might come and do that job for them. that's exactly what these groups one, they want them to be in fear of these people that strong right wing anti refugee sentiment. unfortunately spreads much further into the whole of germany. we've covered stories where people that came from a guy in this town would have a job here and they would be well educated. they would learn the german language quickly, yet still, germany would deport them back to afghanistan. even though these people would be

a clear gain towards german society when people are trying everything to find their way in a new country, learning the language and culture and trying to be integrated. it's very sad that i don't get a chance. it has a strong movement by the fall, right? to credits the media by pushing the word lugan presser. here in germany, i started filming privately kind of behind the scenes locks about what we actually do as a news crew. when we do reporter, i try to kind of find an angle and what makes the story interesting. i thought maybe giving an insight on how news outlets cover news incidentally could try to counter those accusation as a camera man. your goal always needs to be to tell the story in the most sensible and touching way so that we can somehow get the viewer to get

a short insight of what's happening to somehow confront them with a reality that might not be their own to then have them rethink and question their own positions. okay, up next we're talking climate change. you've probably heard about the idea of carbon capture. but what exactly is it, and is it really such a great idea? here's net clark to answer those questions in just 2 minutes. ah, we need to reduce emissions and we need to do it fast, but we still need to power the economies of the world. so until there's enough renewable energy available. well, what we need to keep you to fossil fuels for that means more emissions into carbon capture and storage is how it works. the c o 2 emitted from the smoke stacks of power stations and other industrial processes

like steam and cement production is captured, compressed and then transported by ship road or pipeline, and stored deep on the ground in geological formations or an old empty oil and gas reservoir. and because specialists in the oil and gas industry already largely had the skills needed to switch over to this process, everyone's a winner, or are they will opponent say, developing this technology will just allow fossil fuel companies to keep drilling and extracting. plus their affairs, the seo to could leap back into the atmosphere. but something has to be done. emissions are still rising and we look set to overshoot, the temperature target of one and a half degrees centigrade. so we must find a way to stop the rot. another idea is direct air captured or dark, where you extract c o 2 directly from the air, mix it with water and put it on the ground. the captured c o 2 could also help

produce low carbon jet fuel and be used to supply businesses such as drinks, companies, and food producers. these technologies are all a long way from being utilized at the scale required. you would need millions of dak machines around the world to have any effect. therein lies the conundrum. office scaling carbon capture technology might just divert investment away from sustainable solutions and prolong the extraction of fossil fuels. but the way we're going the solutions, we need a not going to be in place soon enough. what a certain, one way or another, a route to a 0 carbon future has to be found. okay, let's meet the teenage boxing champion who we told you about at the start of the show. this is yana ok. mosh who's using the boxing rang to raise awareness about what's happening to indigenous women and girls in the us. take a look at her story. ah,

it feels as though i'm calling on the spirit to those women and girls that have passed or been murdered and they're, they're watching over me and helping me fight in rural and northern wisconsin on them. anomaly indian reservation ayona oki most is training. i told her the 1st year i was nervous every time, so i wanted to put that out with my boxing and fight for those women and girls who can fight for themselves or make their voices heard. it's a long standing other indigenous not just in wisconsin, but anyway, you find condensation, you'll find trafficking and murder of the engine and i feel pumped. i'm ready to go. ready to get in the ring. fight. 12 year old, a on us started boxing nearly 3 years ago. she's already won to national

championship competition and is currently ranked number one in her weight category in the us. it takes a lot of determination and hard work, but if you put that in your full 100 percent, you're going to do great. when she started her boxing journey and the family was reluctant to let her go into the ring, i avoided it for i would say probably 2 to 3 months i was scared to begin with and to tell you the truth. i honestly thought she was going to come in here and get punched in the face and it was going to be over into 1st thing i said is because of a honest personality she comes and she's so huggy in. i don't know if she's going to have that temperament to go out here and actually be a good boxer and well, to make 2 story a little shorter. she proved me round as a former boxer, and his grandpa has passed down his knowledge to my grampa and his brothers helped me with

a lot with learning different techniques. everyone has different styles of boxing, so they helped me learn more about that, especially my grampa, even the couldn't damping her enthusiasm, covert cam, rone, and we were basically in here one day training. and the next day we were told we had to call us, i don't want to continue training. there was no stopping at a ana, is a descendant of the monotony, indian tribe of wisconsin. the tribal lands encompass monotony county a 358 square mile area with a population of around $4500.00. over a quarter of the residence here within poverty. for many kids, the monotony indian boxing club or a on a normally train is more than just a gym. a lot of kids come from homes where they don't have 2 parents. one parents are no grandfather or even kids that don't even have a large sponsor. all over by saw, that's pretty much it gives them a chance to stay grounded for a on boxing is also about changing the fate of many women in her community. it's

very empowering to know when i get in that ring that i'm fighting for, not just my community, but all of the indigenous women around. she uses her platform to raise awareness for missing and envision this way. she regularly post information about missing women on her social media sites and helps raise money to support charity and tackling the evidence. in the last year, 53 cases of missing american indian or alaska native women have been uploaded to the missing persons database. they make up more than 5 percent of the cases of missing women across the us. even though indigenous women represent less than one percent of the country's population. it's a statistic, a on his parents are all too aware of it, worries me all the time. because even now she is training to defend herself and the ring, that's not a $100.00 proof that nothing ever happened toward that she will always be able to

protect herself across the us. more than 84 percent of american indian and alaska native women have experienced violence in their life. and research shows that 97 percent of victims face non native perpetrators that leads to difficulties when trying to prosecute offenders. there was this decision called the all the font decision which greatly affected tribal sovereignty and the ability to prosecute non natives on indigenous land. so if we have a non native person come on to tribal land, and there is a murder in the mirrors on tribal land, we are not able to prosecute in many tribes. at the end of 2019, there were 563 active missing person records of indigenous women report suggests the numbers recorded are unlikely. and under account there are a number of reasons for including under reporting and poor relations between the police and the community. and indigenous women going missing is not an issue. so

it's 500 year old plus problems and 1st contact and colonization when we had trafficking of indigenous women and young girls in it through government policy and attacks on our tribal sovereignty that leave us really extremely vulnerable and targeted by human traffickers. kristen welch is a community organizer with the local indigenous group, many konica. what we're really trying to do is just provide connection to our original identity to create wellness in our community. and were you find colonization? you'll find trafficking and murder of the indigenous women. it removes the next generation and indigenous women carry, you know, not only the physical generation, but a lot of that knowledge is passed on to our children. in wisconsin, kristen is seeing some progress toward more cohesion in tackling the issue. the attorney general announced to task force between the department of justice and indigenous communities to tackle the issue of my

w. it's really important for people to ask the indigenous people they original people in the united states. what that true history is, because in the books that's written by the winners, i hope that there is more young women coming up like i, who can value themselves and love themselves and such a way that, that power just out of them. like that's part of the cohort work is to raise up, the future warriors are always been about protecting herself as well as her with my boxing. i know that if anything ever happens to me, i have a chance to defend myself, and i want to teach my kids and future generations to defend themselves. so they don't end up being the now she's someone i definitely want in my corner. well, that's the portal this week. remember there's a lot more great video and audio on our website and our social media channel. i'll

be back next week until then. you online? ah, hello, they will have a look at african a moment, but 1st the middle east. and you can see from the satellite image behind me that dense cloud pushing nose on settle conditions across the event. if we take a closer look, we can see strong winds and heavy rain stretching all the way from egypt across into iraq where we have seen flooding in the north. we could see more as another wave of intense downpours kicks. and i'm going to see a bit of a wintery mix edge into western areas of iran and heavy snow and rain and q weight is likely to see that rain. by monday, we'll have some spotty showers, picking up in saudi arabia by choosing a lot of that brisk when can be traced to northern parts of africa within wet and windy weather lap at coastal areas of libya pushed into egypt. and it's brought the

temperature right down in cairo. if you look at the 3 day, we are seeing it well below the average with a few showers on monday. it will pick up. however, by the time we get to wednesday now across that central band of africa there's a lot of heat, but there's also a lot of sha was more intense storms affecting easton areas and down in the south we think some heavy rain across much of south africa it's going to be a wet week foot johannesburg, with thunderstorms and showers, but it winds up in cape town with some sunshine pushing through the clouds. that sure update. ah, if the political debate show that's challenging the way you think have agencies fail hated the situation is was that it was before the digital found wife and digging into the issue is a military advancement. going to stop the family ticket? i is on better company to drive now people out of berry. how will climate migration differ for those who have and those who don't have lots of countries see,

we will pay poor countries to keep refugees there. a park with me, mark lamond hill on al jazeera. it's one year until the 1st people world killed in the middle east. talk to al jazeera meet spec must cembura 1st ever female secretary general, the 1st to share her journey and discuss the route to cut her 2022. 0, now jesse ron ah. a new era, but she lay the former student leader becomes the nation's youngest. ever president . ah, i'm having a secret. this is allergies ita live from the also coming up facing off against stun grenades and t, a gas thousands call for change in sudan, demanding. the military pulls out of politics. the death toll in the hundreds and
