blue biting both isis and a, the 2nd of a 2 part epic tail of a remarkable family. the father, the son, and the g high power tune on al jazeera when the news brings you surely now, in coming shells lighting very close to building g, when people need to be heard. and the story told, it's kind of inspiring moment for me. they went for all of them, the scene there, guy from their community, with exclusive interviews, and in depth reports. what the, what is still remains. al jazeera, has teens on the ground to bring you more award winning documentaries and lied knees. ah, china warns the u. s. president not to under estimate its resolve on taiwan after

he signals defending the island from any invasion. ah, hello, i'm adrian for again. this is al jazeera live from doha. also coming up, we gain red access to a ukrainian town that's on the near constant artillery fire. as russia intensifies it's eastern effects, iran says that it will avenge the assassination of a city, a revolutionary gobs officer who was shot dead outside his home in 10 wrong. plus thousands gone and more on the way the doctor exodus the sleeping nigerian hospitals, desperately understaffed. ah, china has warned the u. s. president not to underestimate beijing's resolve on taiwan earlier,

joe biden said that he'd intervene militarily to defend the island from any invasion. he made the remarks in tokyo, on the 2nd leg of an asia trip. it saved up shoring up relations with allies encountering china's regional influence. the white house later clarified the u. s. policy on taiwan hasn't changed. beijing regards taiwan as a breakaway territory, though taipei insist 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 as you can, we may, we are not look, here's a situation. we agree with the one china policy we signed onto it and all the attendance agreements made from there. but the idea that it can be taken by force, just taken by force,

is just not just not appropriate on china's response. shortly after robot bright in tokyo tells us more about the context of the u. s. president's comments? 5, once again, i answer your question very directly and possibly not very desperately. he said that the united states does have commitment to the island of taiwan, which is true. but said the white house that very quickly. 2 qualifying that this is no change to the one china policy. i think there is a real concern in this part of the world that 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 he 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 americans and that japanese allies 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 you become a global pariah. you faced the sanctions of the international community, look at what 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 henry 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 lea lose the edge in this high tech manufacturing as a way of countering china's growing economic and through that diplomatic influence . let's go live to beijing. elders is katrina you as the katrina, the foreign ministry delivered china's response to president biden's remarks. what did they say? well, beijing has reacted angrily to this. china considers taiwan a red line issue and president she jan, paying a said time and time again that taiwan the self ruled island is an inalienable part of the main line. at an end it will be reunited with china by peaceful means or if necessary by force. and john is foreign ministry spokesperson wong when been re iterated this on monday. and he said that there would be no compromise or no concession on this issue. and he warned the us against doing anything to stand against china is 1400000000 people when it came to taiwan and he said that there

would be consequences, although he did not mention what thirst would be. now of course, as rog mentioned, many do believe that president, she didn't ping wants to make re unification with taiwan, a part of his legacy. although we don't have any timeline on that. china's for mystery again reiterated that the u. s. should be pulling back from any actions that support or encourage tie one's independence. and although washington has somewhat walked back, those comments from joe biden. beijing is still nervous about them or shot, a viewing president biden's asia trip. well, i'm watching it very closely. certainly, china's not happy with joe biden going into asia, what china considers it's our backyard and forging stronger relationships with some of china's closest neighbor. as china has accused the u. s. of creating with its endured pacific strategy, divisive clicks. and many of these countries, south korea, japan, many of these countries count china as

a closest trading partner or the most important trading partner. and paging says that washington is in way for saying these countries to choose between their relationships and in these 2 are between the relationships with washington all aging and saying that this is crating destabilization. and of course, china, what if he is the mercy, be creation of any sort of asian nato, which it considers at which it would consider to be a major threat. and earlier, china's foreign minister one e said that any attempt to contain china, the economically or security. why as he said that this would be doomed to fail. of 0 is katrina. you are reporting live there from beijing. katrina, many thanks. entered russian soldiers are clearing mines at the hours of style still works all to the surrender of ukrainian troops. they will hold up for weeks in the industrial area,

very different devils this year. adrian, you know this event normally takes place in january. normally i'm surrounded by snow. it wasn't held in january because of coven 19. it wasn't held the year before, because of coven 19. so we're looking at a world that is in a very different place. now, some of the effects of coven. 19 some of the effects of the war in ukraine. but we currently have a global food crisis. we have our global energy crisis, we have rising inflation. those will be the key issues i think that will be discussed in terms of the economic side of what's discussed at dabbles. in terms of the political side, i think the key speaker is not going to be here in person. we've seen this patent many times before because the key speaker is president savanski and he'll be speaking to the delegates here in dallas in the next few minutes live from keith giving his latest view on the war. he. i think the key speaker today on this 1st day of a resumed dab was looking at a different and a world with

a lot of challenges or a james for the moment that he thinks indeed is. james said president zelinski due to address before him in the next few minutes. we'll take that live here on al jazeera, at least defend to it. and then we'll be back with james to get some analysis in the news ahead though a samba time for north korea's leader will explain why the funeral service for a senior figure meant so much to him. i'm charlie, an at the cannes film festival red carpet has been rolled out for ukraine fledgling found interesting. ah hello. we've had another day of very heavy rain across parts of myanmar through endo china, easing across towards the philippines. big down poles coming for here. over a 100 millimeters of fright in 24 hours associated with the on suit loss,

hello again. this is al jazeera. let's remind you of the main news. the south china has warned the us not to underestimate beijing's resolve on taiwan. u. s. president joe biden says that he'll intervene militarily. if china tries to invade taiwan, he was asked during an official visit to japan, beijing regards taiwan as a breakaway territory. russian soldiers, a clearing mines of the as of style still works. after the surrender of ukrainian troops, they will hold up for weeks in the industrial area, making a last stand against washing forces who captured the west of mariel. as ukraine's president full of them is lensky is set to address the world economic forum. this was town of davos. russia's invasion tops the agenda for the gathering of business and diplomatic elite, iran's president his vine, to avenge the killing of a city a revolution regards. officer and to ron gunmen on 2 motorcycles shot dead cuddle.

hassan, sad huddle ye. in his car outside his home, the attackers are still at large. peggy d. j. d. 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, tier, against the criminals, will definitely be taken. i'm. this is ali hashim has colored iran extensively. he's with me now in the studio, who was this kernel, who would have wanted him dead? what do you make of iran's response? well, and ran a hassan's liada who die. he was a member of the coaches force or to the external r o, the external arm of the i, r g c. according to the information that we gathered, he used to operate in syria. according to some sources, you are responsible for transferring jones technology from iran to city, and this is a very, a delicate and sensitive mission. so this is what we know about him. of course,

a lot is going to be revealed maybe in the coming days. but the important thing right now is that this assassination comes in a very, a sensitive time at why it iran and the united states of america. i'm trying to inch closer towards reviving the nuclear deal. and as we know, one of the main issues right now that's hindering or a hurdling the, the, the deal is the listing of the i, r g c as a foreign terrorist organization in the united states of america. so this is thought it struck to be a, according to many observers that this might really a complicate issues and it was the fin, the iranian position towards keeping the united states keeping the i r g c on the 3rd list. so this would have its implications on the nuclear talks at the time when president tracy is an oman, and one of the main issues that there is going to be the nuclear talks and they owe

money mediation last week. the mid of up that was also in to hon. also trying to bring a, you know, at least the americans and the iranians into middle point. so things are going to be complicated, more worn, especially that this assassination took place in to have on. and this is the 1st time that we see an assassination in, within this framework, i'm talking about iran's regional role because previously, for example, when was in for her factories, i did, it was assassinated just yet. and half ago he was there was a link between him and the nuclear file and all the, all the assassinations that took place in iran, within the past decade were related to the nuclear weiss. this is the 1st time that we see such an incident within this damage. all the zeros alhashan, the manufacturer data. that of an e. u delegation says that he was denied entry to israel for speaking out against

the killing of al jazeera journalist, shaheen. i will our claim by israeli forces, minute panada, who heads the e. u. delegation for relations with palestine says the entire delegation ended up having to cancel its trip. he added that no explanation was given for blocking him . the visit was to review the situation in occupied east jerusalem, the west bank and gaza. this that the israeli foreign ministry sent a letter to the european union mission into mosul. im indicating that they wouldn't let me in. they let the rest of the delegation end, but not me. and they didn't give any further explanation. it is in fact, a tacit sanction, not only against me, but against the european parliament. i'm not going as a person who wants to visit palestine, i'm go years president of the european parliament delegation for relations with palestine. if they don't allow me to enter who they are really sanctioning isn't me . it's the european parliament out 0 media network continues to demand a rapid,

independent and transparent investigation into the killing of its journalist and the occupied westbank. sharina obliquely was shot in the head by israeli forces, while on assignment in janine earlier this month, on the day of her funeral is ready forces stormed the procession and started a beat. mourners causing pall bearers to merely drop her casket. that didn't stop thousands of palestinians marching through occupied east jerusalem to take part in her funeral and burial. members of the international community of condemned her killing at a calling for an investigation. sharina a barclay was with al jazeera for 25 years, covering the israeli occupation, and was known as the voice of palestine. 6 palestinian men who broke out of an israeli prison last year and had an extra 5 years added to their terms. they escaped through a tunnel that they dug using spoons, plates and pots with old kettle in september and intense man hunts saw them recaptured. 2 weeks later, they were jailed for anti israeli attacks. good order. fathers is the head of the

palestinian prisoners club. he says their original imprisonment was unfair. this trial was a mere formality, a colonel gen letty. lydia, as there are 2 rack emilio, this unjust verdict, is an attempt by israel to create a false impression that it's decisions are made through an organized procedure such as the judicial system that infects the judicial system, is a toll for their political and military institutions. and these unjust verdicts will not weaken the will of all the heroes of the freedom tunnel or the will of any prisoner female news presenters in afghanistan of spoken, a feeling uncomfortable after the taliban ordered them to cover their faces while on f rights groups of spoken out against the crank, donald women's freedoms. leah harding report. if you turn on the evening news in afghanistan, this is the face that will greet you. sonya niecy has presented on tv many times

before, but she says never like this girl gwin dot. but my mo, how about a presenter must feel totally calm and relaxed during the news to convey the truth to the people. but to day for the 1st time, i experienced a moment where i had to present my program wearing a mask and i wasn't feeling good at all. that in last week, tell about officials ordered all women to cover their full body when outside the home. then days later, they said that applies to women on tv as well. if i had one last on, but at this decree is unpredictable for all female presenters, because a slum has not commanded us to cover our faces. every islamic scholar and political figure has opposed this decree. forcing women to cover their faces is a return to a signature policy. of the taliban is passed hard line rule. the taliban said female presenters. it could wear a medical mask instead of godless. sonya says she feels trapped. i saw this. if

such decrees are issued and imposed on women than women across afghanistan will be eliminated. as we see now that women are being gradually eliminated. if women don't comply, they or their mail guardians could get fired from their jobs. or imprisoned taliban leaders had promised to respect women's and girls rights when they retook control of afghanistan last august. but rights groups have voiced concerns about the growing crackdown, including liberty girls education. and now the female face is the latest target wiped from afghan tv screens. leah harding al jazeera north korea's in the grip of a severe corona virus outbreak, but that hasn't stopped. huge numbers. attending the funeral of a senior figure. pictures from straight television shows mosque las kim jong, and among warners bidding farewell to shone chal. hey, eva said to have played a significant role in grooming kim as the next leader for his father died in 2011

government figures show almost 3000000 people have fallen ill with cove at 19 in north korea. in recent weeks. robert kelly is a professor of political science diplomacy at tucson national university. he describes the funeral significance. well, the more things take internal ceremony really seriously, right. i mean, there's no sort of religion in north korea right there is early, much outside of the north korean state, really in north korea all there's no sort of independent entities 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 important. people play a really, really big role. in fact, the death that the births and deaths became family. the ruling came, family actually are calendar days, righteous or holidays and things like that. and so it doesn't surprise me. this happened. you. kim's ascension, 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's living outside of the country for a while. and so my sense is that this is somebody who helped him along and probably,

you know, with his was i think about the concern that's always popped up in the media has been, wow, this could be a potential super spread 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. he craves president fellow to me as zalinski is about to address the world economic forum in davos in switzerland. he's just being introduced as we speak. and we'll be addressing the conference via video link from keith. let's listen them. 8000000 people. we seems a cup every country has survived to live in peace, determine its own mean. so for governments and shoes, for, for teaching alliances. it wants to have every countries, territorial integrity and so into d must be respected. this also made principals as the

president of switzerland has shown us of international law unsurpassed rural wall to world war 2. although mister president, now on the 1st official day of survey from the rec form an ard meeting, 2020 to recon reading in dallas. ready at to most consequential geopolitical achieve. ready or criminal make moment in surpassed the case. is the president we have all seen. so leadership, your courageous leadership. we are eager to hear from you on run, lies ahead for your country and it's people you were wishing for peace in europe and see international globally all go and how we can assist you because

everybody of us is affected by what's happening in your country. mister president. so floyd fuels with the, like i said, it's a great honor for me. i'm only on the whole mister chairman is in a shop. professor schwab, president, death guy, his shonell name, president funnel cat says, ladies and gentlemen young. yes. as i am, was grateful foolish the opportunity to take parental and the discussions at the forum that was actually the mainly old theme. full days. yes. land. we'd have all cecily history at the turning point. government policies and business strategies flora this year and i'm on my own. there were a list of turning point each. now if you would abuse to become more than just

a rhetoric, figuratively speech, this is really the moment when it is decided whether to grow to forest will rule the world. if so, the force is not interested in our thoughts and there's no need for throw them meetings in divorce as well. that would be no reason for that brute force. yeah, 6 or nothing. oh, but the subject ation of those had 6 to subdue latoya and it does not disguise us, but kill yes little at one. see at the russia danced out in ukraine. the chance as we speak on was golden was lama phil who to day but h n. y, the white boy lent of a lot, look at the bill day or to the world, the couch. it inspires what the other potential aggressors to ag let instead of successful peaceful cities, there's only black rooms in the state of normal trade. seem cool as mine said block for it's a new grade instead of a torres mac, close skies and very few south san diego,

i've russian bombs and cruise missiles. what we're here and that this is what the world would like me, dave and that alternative moment to lead that would in order to have a proper response from the humanity, it would resemble a large set of historic crimean. nice. so history remembers many bonus when everything changed dramatically. so for example, you get a couple hung of several shorts far, that he will immediately kelly millions of people's village. if shots were fired, elisa june 28th, 1914 in sarajevo in history, remembers how much grief or who want the person a budget can do. and if she, if it can see it can understand that it's not the open, the resistor, it as it was, for example, in 1930 ang, immunity, or some historical twists and turns were now visible. some not a bit. we always had to respond to them. now we've been trying to prepare for all

her yes, story, col, upheavals, so long, so as to mitigate their possible consequences. we're trying to heal the wounds fee out of catastrophes that over followed one or in other historical animal twist st. louis. and now we have the large collection of such responses, those un charter with all these agencies, the oversee, the i a, the w, t o and many other institutions as the fed. other in now often though you to respond to what we have face such a movie day that as a bird has pro, is it possible now to try to attempt those institutions fold motor and challenge stuff into.
