. that's after president joe biden has said that he would intervene militarily. if paging tries to invade taiwan, he was asked during a news conference with japan's prime minister for mucous sheet up by does on asia trip aimed at shoring operations with allies encountering china's growing influence and the region. beijing regards taiwan as a breakaway territory. the ty pay insists that it must remain independent. you didn't want to get involved in the ukraine conflict militarily. for obvious reasons . are you willing to get involved militarily to defend taiwan? if it comes to that? yes, you are. that's a commitment. we made a 2nd. we may, we are not look, here's a situation. we agree with the one china policy we signed on to it and all the attendance agreements made from there. but the idea that that it can be taken by

force just taken by force is just not, is just not appropriate. i'll just who as robin bride in tokyo says the japan and the u. s. a. making a show of unity for china. by once again, i answer your question very directly and possibly not very desperately. he said that the united states does have commitments to the island of taiwan, which is true. but the white house that very quickly clarifying that this is no change to the one china policy. i think there is a real concern in this part of the world, but china will have been looking at what russia has done effectively taking unilateral action to change the status quo of a laboring entity effectively sending in the tanks. and china might, at some point, be looking to do a willing to do the same with the island of taiwan, which it does regard as a breakaway territory or renegade island, which is ultimately always going to be part of china. now i think it's important

for the americans and the japanese i live here to put on this show to show a sense of strength. basically to say this is what happens if you take such as soon as that you become a global pariah. you face the sanctions of the international community, look at what has happened to russia with a sideways message to china, telling it not to look at taking some sort of similar action with taiwan. this is what we are seeing today on the tin re today. this monday, the setting up of this indo pacific economic framework. it is, we understand as being led by japan and the united states as the us initiative, but 11 other countries. and this is a gathering of like minded countries to work together on a strategically important production, for example on computer chips on semiconductors, which are important to, to various industries. to make sure that the west,

if you like in the us and its allies, don't lose the edge in this high tech manufacturing. as a way of countering china's growing economic. and through that diplomatic influence, i will have more on china's response to president biden's comments from our beijing correspondent a little later in this bulletin. president biden was also asked about the future of us tariffs on china, which were imposed by his predecessor. he suggested that some of them may be lifted . i'm talking with the secretary, we get home, i am considered, and we do not oppose any of those tariffs. they're imposed by last ministration. and they're under consideration at australia's new prime minister is on his way to the leaders meeting in tokyo, allison to being sworn in anthony albanese, is inheriting a tense relationship with china, which wasn't under the prime minister. he's replaced, he says that it's unlikely that that will change what i have said,

and we maintain, he said, the relationship with china will remain a difficult one. i said that before the election, that has not changed, or it is china that has changed not astrologer. and australia should always that stand up for our values. and we will in a government that i, late iran's president, is vowing to avenge the killing of a senior revolution regards. officer into ron gunman on to motorcycle shot dead, colonel hassan, sad had i in his car outside his home. the attackers are still at large g age. i emphasize the serious pursuit of secure 2 officials into the killing of the coronel and i have no doubt the revenge for the blood of the great mar, tear against the criminals. will definitely be taken. al jazeera alhashan has covered iran extensively. he's with me now in the studio and what, what do you make of, of this and, and iran's response so far. well, for now,

after the president's stance early this morning, before going to man. also, we heard from the iranian review, teddy got the spokesperson, also allowing to avenge for the blood of food i eat, the spokesperson for the armed forces, chicago g, a while keeping a distance from pointing the finger immediately towards israel. he hinted that an american, the zionist entity, as he said, are responsible for the centers of terrorism in the region. and this is kind of in ching, a bit closer to accusing israel of being behind this attack. now it seems that we are in the middle of a shadow war between israel and the wrong now no one is really claiming responsibility for any attack on both sides. but the, the, the footprint saw are clear because of this confrontation that has been going on

for a long time. and as we know, there are many points off and for the section and confrontation, whether it's in cdn. as we know that this i, or jesse member or commander used to be operating in syria. and according to what sources were seeing your city that he was responsible for the transferring the drawings from iran to syria. so this is, this is part of a, of a bigger game. and it seems that that is, that is a context. why would that have made him a target? oh, to say, well, given, given what i said regarding the, the drone technology, whether if it's a concern, because we still need to, to confirm this information. it seems that this is part of the, of the confrontation. now, in the past israelis at least, what was league in the past years were responsible for several attacks into hong what though in war related to the nuclear fight and the assassination of nuclear scientists, that to part through the past decade. what within this a region,

or did i mention of the nuclear file? this is the 1st time that we see an assassination outside this dimension, especially inside the country inside, inside the borders of it on. and this might have, it's an implication, especially with what we're hearing now. yes. it today with that with a statement from the iranian, i'm forces spokesperson and hen think. what's the attack that the iranians launched last year on the, could this done or reach out this year? so the court, the south region and hitting a target in net a bill, he said that there was an headquarters that was destroyed. that was a man by the mo, sat now these are allegations. however, within the context of this confrontation, everything is possible out a series ali hashanah manufactured italy israel has bought entry of the country, of the head of the european union delegation visit was due to review the situation

the industrial area, making a last stand against russian forces who'd captured the rest of money. and china has warmed the us not to under estimate beijing's resolve on taiwan. u. s. president joe biden says that he intervene militarily. if china tries to invade taiwan, he was ostrich, an official visit to japan, beijing regards taiwan as a break away territory. let's get all of their stuff from officers. katrina, you his life for us in beijing. what more is china been saying about this? katrina whoa, for china. taiwan is a red line issue. and on monday terms, foreign ministry responded angrily to biden's comments. saying that taiwan is an a leader we'll part of china's territory president. she didn't bring as a time and time again that the self ruled island will be united, reared beijing peacefully, all by force if necessary. so monday, china's foreign ministry spokesperson won when been said that there would be no concessions,

nor compromise on this magic. and he was the u. s. not to stand against china as 1400000000 people. he said they would be some actions taken. although he did not specify what these would be, he also urged the us to walk back or still any support or encouragement of any movements towards ty, one's independence and to abide by ton is by the one china principal. and since then, washington has released a statement walking us back somewhat, saying that it does. there has been no change in the way that the u. s. views this one china principal, but beijing is nervous. it's watching by biden's trip to asia very closely. it's certainly not happy with washington strengthening ties with its closest neighbors, and bating has said that that any attempts to contain china would be due to fail. oh, this is katrina you are reporting live there from beijing. let's bring in a road kelly. he's professor of political science and diplomacy. a pusan national

university, georgia style live from abuse aren't good to have you with us again. robert, what do you make of a president by this remarks? the white house says that that u. s. policy on taiwan hasn't changed. yeah, it's kind of surprising that that the president had said that although biden has actually sort of a record of doing this sort of also with the russian war and ukraine. right binders got a little bit ahead of the ministration. i think in park sort of focused finger in the eyes of the russians, or in this case the chinese and then the ministration sort of returned back a little bit. i mean, that's actually something of a pattern now with, with the president, but i don't know why it has been sort of talking up a lot. the idea of sort of this contest in the world between autocracies and democracy. taiwan really is sort of the core issue, right? i mean, if you get down to sort of like the core divide, that would prevent china from domini stage. i mean, really is about how one of the chinese grab how one is going to send are really big signals around the world. and so i think to a certain extent, strategic ambiguity about american camera, unity about tiwana starting away. increasingly, the americans are openly talking about china as a competitor, and so you know,

it's increasingly obvious that the americans were tied with what i want and, and by and i think it's just pushing in a direction, everybody already sees. okay, robert, well, i've got you here. there's something else i want to ask you about a huge number of my koreans including kim jong and i've attended a funeral despite a corona virus outbreak. footage of kim has been released from the funeral ceremony for sean chil, hey, who reportedly played a key role in grooming kim as the countries next leader before his father died in 2011. robert, what do you make about? yeah, the north koreans will the north koreans take internal ceremony really seriously. right, i mean there's no sort of religion in north korea right. there isn't really much outside of the north korean state really in north korea at all. there's no sort of independent and fees or agencies or something like that. there's not even like school clubs or whatever for kids that aren't manipulated by the state. and so the rituals of the states are the death. so important people play really, really big role. in fact, of the best that the births and deaths of the king family, the ruling kim family actually are calendar days, writers, or holidays and things like that. and so it doesn't surprise me. this happened,

if kim's attention, kim's online, the current guy, his ascension, wasn't guaranteed. there were other possibilities that a lot of people, that there might be a military coup, for example, because he wasn't really very well known. he'd been living outside of the country for a while. and so my sense is that this is somebody who helped him along, and that's probably, you know what this was, i think that are the concern. that's always a pop up in the media has been, wow, is going to be a potential super spreader event. you're not really sure of the north currently takes that stuff pretty seriously. right. i mean they're fairly insulated. i don't really think they care that much about their own population, so i'm not really sure they're worried about that element of it. always good still to professor, but he thinks dates at robert kelly, them in blue. some ice on flood water is receding in northeastern bangladesh, but rescue workers a struggling to reach billions of stranded people. many rivers are still flowing above dangerous levels. after days of heavy rain, at least 57 people have died in the west flooding. in nearly 2 decades severe chowdhury house borne out from sil had all the difficulties that people they're

facing. you can see a similar sense for miles after miles and sure. i'm gordon's distinct village homes are submerged. schools are inundated with water. the villagers, we have been talking to in this area. so daven in flood like this in many years, most of them are desperate need for freshwater dry food and even financial assistance. they're said so far, they have not received anything from the government or from the local politician or any angels right now what the need most is medicine, fresh water and dry food. they're desperate need for those. sit wash and have somewhat improve the water level has gone down. there has been no rain for last few days on the village. i was hoping it stays this way. how many of the rain continues and coming days and the onrush of water from northeast india comes in to bangladesh . again, the situation could again deter it. meanwhile, some of the major rivers in bangladesh have been swelling and flooding in the north,

central part of bangladesh. things are getting more desperate for people affected by heavy pre monsoons. rain in the northeast indian state of awesome. hundreds of thousands of people that are homeless, drinking water, his guess, and food is when he out. i'll just, he was pop natal is there with flood waters submerging the homes and drown in their fees. hundreds of thousands of families across the state of asylum in ne india have been forced to flee. were in a gov district. the was effected district in the state, and thousands of people have come here to these railway tracks. it's one of the few stretches of land that elevated and still dry, if pitch tens and making do with whatever little they could grab some food. knitter clothing risking their lives as trains go up and down these tracks. they said they've been here for days and don't know when they'll be able to return. regardless. yeah, i have been bothered. our homes are submerged in flood waters. so we have come to

in indonesia, palm oil, farmers have welcome the decision to resume palm oil exports. they say that they were disproportionately affected by the palm oil export band. the president joker with dodo also stressed that as part of the decision making process behind, allowing exports to resume. he was thinking about the welfare of millions of palm oil farmers across the country for consumers. they say that the prices are still higher than what they used to. the government had said a target of trying to get prices down to around $0.96 per liter. those prices have not yet been achieved. and many consumers say that they are still struggling with high of food prices, not just for cooking oil, but for other ingredients as well. okay, so monkey pox has been discovered in austria, 15 nations outside western central africa,
