of venezuela, a low nation venezuela has shown that in the face of sanctions from enemies. they stand strong against imperialism and colonialist countries. with this government cooperation has taken place in the fields of energy, economy, science, agriculture, and defense. this is evidence that opportunities are available within venezuela and we are willing to facilitate cooperation. the signing of this agreement is another step in expanding relations in the coming years. well, both yvonne and venezuela, as we mentioned, has suffered major economic hardship because of us sanctions. no part of yvonne's economy has been sped. a un report says the measures have led to inflation growing poverty and depicted state resources and economic crisis monte my food and medicine shortages has for 6000000 people to flee venezuela since 2014. both yvonne and venezuela have blame the u. s. for pushing their one striving oil industries.

a larger, better, more powerful, say on the international scene beyond bilateral tars, especially in confronting the us sanctions, to share management and common stances in the global market. but looking specifically at iran, in what ways does the iranian government benefit from its relationship with venezuela? what are, what are the opportunities here for you? right? well, there are many in bilateral aspects in area of economy. iran could explore, you know, car passenger cars used to have a car assembly line in there under the new job, but it stopped operation on the president of honey. iran could relaunch it in order to provide the oil market with the passenger cars on the low end of the market. more importantly,

pharaon could export on agricultural machinery. it still has fertilizers and pesticides. these are the common goods that you run through. this is and then as well ends need, but the in area of energy, iran could also provide him with all engineering services and spare parts and ecology software and hardware and also in defense tech there. so one could enjoy a lot of explore the country, but more important than that is going to be changing. mr. caution, isn't it going to be challenging to implement these agreements that iran in venezuela has have signed jane during this 20 year corporation deal when you have these us sanctions on both countries on know it. as a matter of fact, the, the un sanctions have gone to such extremes. they seems of the u. s. on factions. matter of fact, they're back firing, especially if there be

a place bands on russian energy force. the wrong button is lula and russia. 3 major crew producers and exports that has given that to, especially iran, and then a realize the only 2 countries that could have, you know, reserve supplies to the market. and as we are approaching winter and the green war is ravaging the 2 could have major se against the us policies in the us policy sanctions. they have beaten back their backfired and the u. s. market on average in the us and europe. so as we saw iran when venezuelans were queueing for in line 4 kilometers, feel that iran sent over at dogs and tankers is gr parts additives and many other engineers and services to the country. despite the fact that it was too risky. when donald trump was involved office, they could have been some kind of conflict when they were crossing the atlantic, but they did it. and they not only help the even as well in people. and it's also

the crisis and help they've been as well and present and a lot. and he was appreciating that today because otherwise that could have been descent. and it could've been some kind of rebellion in the country. jeopardize administration went a little bit too much. thank, thank you so much for talking to us. we'll leave it there with staff cautious, sham senior foreign policy analysts joining us there from table. thank you for your the u. s. secretary of defense says china is becoming more aggressive and destabilizing in the asia region, including round taiwan. lloyd austin was speaking in singapore, at a meeting of security officials from around the world known as the shangri la dialogue. it come to day after austin met with china's defense minister, way fang, me eat reset, way said b g won't hesitate to start a war. if taiwan declares independence, we see growing coersion from beijing, we really witnessed

a steady increase in provocative and destabilizing military activity near taiwan. and that includes peel, a aircraft flying near taiwan in record numbers and rece of much, and nearly on a daily basis. and we remain focused on maintaining peace stability and the status quo across across the taiwan strait. but the p. r c's moves threatened to undermine security and stability and prosperity in the endo pacific. let's bring in a jessica washington who's covering that shangri la dialogue for us in singapore, jessica lloyd austin, they're taking direct aim at china. how have the chinese responded? well, it's an interesting question. and before i answer that, i would also add that while a lot of the attention has been focused on what you as secretary of defense said

about taiwan. he also made comments about contentious matters, such as the south china sea remarking that china is deliberately spanking tensions with illegal operations in the waters of the indo pacific to day that today on saturday, on the 2nd day of the shangri la dialogue, a press conference was held by a senior official from the chinese military. and he remarked that while the u. s. is strengthening its military presence in the asia pacific and beating up its security arrangements such as orcus, consolidating military alliances. it seems to be from china's perspective that the us is intending on creating chaos in the are in parts of the asia pacific to directly quote the lieutenant general john john john, he said, is the u. s. trying to destabilize the asia pacific. china will never allow which that is the initial sort of preliminary response to the speech fight, lloyd austin. but of course, to morrow on the final day of the shangri la dialogue,

we will hear from the chinese defense minister general way from whole. and his speech has been highly anticipated. the analysts that we have been speaking to throughout the course of the 3 day conference have really marked his speech as the one to watch. it is likely, of course, that he will respond directly to those claims made by boyd austin. but he will also be looking to speak directly to the region in particular, se asia and the pacific to reassure them that aging intends to be a positive continent for them. in the region. jessica, thank you for that. jessica washington live there in singapore, and we'll have more analysis on the tensions between beaching and washington in the south pacific a little later in the news hour. and there's still plenty more ahead including the u. k. government gets a go ahead to deport asylum seekers to wander girls and not rides,

israeli forces. while she was on assignment in janine in the occupied west bank, al jazeera media network continues to demand a rapid, independent, and transparent investigation into the killing of its jernace. block lay was with al jazeera for 25 years covering the story of these really occupations. she was known as the voice of palestine, and as the man con, recourse from ramallah, she's being honored and remembered in more ways than 11 month on from the killing of our desert during the sharina barclay, and calls for an investigation into her death. continue to be ignored by these railings. the u. s. state department has said it wants an open independent israeli investigation despite the fact sharina was an american citizen. oh, but investigation or not. it hasn't dim the impact of a book. she was born hours after serene block. lee was killed by israeli

soldiers after sharon's death. there was never any devil what her parents wanted to kill the new born, serene abu or clay ron was born at midday. on may, the 11th let a hidden thicker st. wallclear, we called her should in a black lane order to honor her. i was in the hospital the night before. before i entered the operation room, my husband told me she had been killed. and he wanted to call our daughter that i was shocked and saturate him with care. we were going to call our baby elena, but we didn't hesitate to change the name. at 2 weeks old, she's already seen israeli settlers attack a village while she won't remember this attack. as likely she will see many incursions like this in her life. the kind of witness that sharina the journalist would seek out and report on her. and she was doing just that in jeanine when she was shot in the head on mainland by israel. soldiers. ah, on the day the funeral israeli forces storm the procession and started to beat

mourners, causing pul, barrister, nearly drop her casket. that didn't stop thousands of palestinians from marching through occupied east jerusalem to take part in a funeral and bearing. hello. this is bruce at university, the most prestigious educational institution in palestine. this is where sharin helped the next generation of journalists. her losses at the camp is hard. the university is announced a number of ways to honor and remember her, including the shriek of walkley scholarship. one of her best female journalist sharon is an example that needs to remain a life for the students in order to continue learning from and is inspiring from from garza to the occupied west bank across palestine. shrines killing is not only short to be united palestinians here and abroad in grief on a vigil is being held today at the scene of shaheen. skilling in janine in the occupied west bank in ron con,

is therefore cimarron. tell us about what's happening today and where we are with the investigation into serene, skinny well throughout the morning here. the sight of where sharon was actually killed. people have been coming through. there have been videos have been held over senior members of the christian church as well. also come here to offer their condolences and to hold. i remember in service of so really, but let me just show you around where we're actually at. this is where sharina offers was killed. the gunfire came from that direction. but let me just show you showings about the same height as i am. this is where some of the bullets are that was short actually hit this a tree head height sir. well, that's what we're looking at. now, serene actually tried to hide when the bullets were being thrown, but she wasn't able to as we now load. but let me just show you down there. right? those crosses where that white car is with the flashing red light. that is where

the israeli soldiers were. so if you could imagine that they had a clear line of sight, everybody was wearing a blue vest and a blue helmet. they were clearly marked as journalists, there was no other fire going on at that stage. that's the situation that happened on may the 11th, and that's the situation that the israelis out investigating real or you aren't hearing despite pressure from antony, blinking from the secretary of state. and the state department is else rember serene, was actually a american citizen that no investigation is taking place. we also haven't heard the least publicly whether an f b i investigation is also taking place. now that angered a lot of palestinians as a surprise them, but it has angered them. ali somebody was a colleague of sharina for about 25 years, a camera man with her for a number of those years. he says that the fact that there isn't an investigation is alarming, but not unsurprising of teddy than i am you connecticut the garden,

if this no just investigation and no follow up to prosecute the killers. hello. this is an international green light for israel to carry on. it's killing targeting palestinians, including journalistic costs. here in, in the 25 years that i've known serene. so she's been a torch of giving a candle that doesn't dom the on a month on was still crime for her love her last is not only a loss for al jazeera, it's also not for palestine. the world and the truth, the nor did i, she was the league of her own that ethical, courageous heroes. yeah. principles. we've known her different fields. yeah. and she was always at the forefront. i think that kind of thing that we've not just heard there from alice ludy, but from several palestinians who say that they show that the actual killing of sri know broccoli has completely shocked them. but of lack of investigation hasn't come as a surprise at all. and as you look around her,

you increasingly begin to think that the reason one of the reasons perhaps for the lack of investigation isn't just the fact that this was a serving israeli army on an active military operation. it's that this bay will be something is really simply though one elbow. thank you for that. in one con reporting there live from jeanine in the occupied west bank. let's discuss this some more now with our senior political analyst, marin rashondra was live in london. so my one calls for justice, for serene, have grown louder as we mark this one month anniversary of for killing. i want to ask you about the u. s. position you as state department and the secretary of state antony blink. and recently, calling for an independent investigation, calling for accountability, but at the same time, they say it should be israel, who should be leading this investigation. how do you explain this incoherence? i can't. i can't. the only way is to simply to describe it as sham. it's, it's a sham and it's shameful. and it's not the 1st time. unfortunately,

the by the administration that said that it will put human rights at the center of its foreign policy and that it will be defending freedom of the press throughout the world is treating the killing of sheena. barclay, like the trump administration, treated the killing of jemma husky. and that is once again shameful. and the way it's abusing the issue of independent investigation, the weights doing by speaking from both sides of its mouth, in the case of antony blinking is really shameful. in the sense that once again it's basically covering up for it's a lie is read when we all know that what needs to be done is simply putting pressure on israel using america's leverage with israel. the 40000000000. that's a b for $1000000000.00 in aid to israel in order to make sure that is at least when it to suppressing the palestinians is doing. it was some sort of that i don't

want to go to justice, but certainly keeping appearances of being a benevolent occupation i, a palestinian authority and al jazeera media network can't have referred sharon's case to the icbc national criminal court. do you think justice can, can come from there? unfortunately, i don't but, but it's still important to do so because it's basically keeping the issue alive. you see, once again, you know, we all sharyn, like we all are our viewers around the world to really focus on what is the issue here. the issue here is the same issue that has shaped sharina life her entire life that defined her career. and that ended her life, and that is or is military occupation. we need to always, really focus our attention and what is important now we do at al jazeera

continuously refer to the occupation the settler colonial military occupation. but i'm not sure if we or the rest of or he was really get what it means. because this is a bit like a nephew's the case of israel sending its thugs versioning in order to discipline the population. but even the mafia within bring back is tonya said, what have you done? you made us look bad, you killed the witness and they would wrap them up. instead, what israel did is send those same fucks that afternoon to sharon's house. and the thing that i can never ever forget is how they then went the next day to her funeral and roughed up, the more nurse. oh, what viewers around the world. so that footage of israeli soldiers in avenge venom attacking the mourners peaceful mourners in a hospital courtyard. so once again,

and an independent investigation where we know the nature of occupations that sharing covered, that should be lived and the shipping was killed by that minute there occupation is already on trial and the i see this already on trial and international public opinion. and we all know that there's not about judaism and islam, and christianity is not about authoritarianism and democracy except by the abuse of power and is only a quick patient that lasted over 50 years or on. thank you for that now. and much higher is our senior political analyst for leave years, former entry president janine on years has been found guilty of planning a coup in 2019 a court sent her to 10 years in prison. i knew it was a case of orchestrating the removal of her predecessor evil morality. she says she's innocent. and it was held in detention for nearly a year before the trial. a legal challenge to a u. k. government plan defend asylum seekers to wander has failed. and very judged,

rejected arguments from charities and human rights schools that say the policy is unlawful. the 1st slide is planned for tuesday. nadeem baba reports a defeat for opponents if the government ruined the program, at least in the short term, the u. k. hi, court says next tuesday's flight supporting the 1st group of asylum seekers. ticket gully can go ahead for refugee groups had argued the policy was unlawful, and they were backed in court on friday by the un refugee agency. the you and hcr. she outlined the hopelessness of the different system in grow and it doesn't have facilities, it doesn't have lawyers, it doesn't, it does. it simply doesn't have the capacity to deal with it. but of course, that is not the issue. the fact that it's not one that is unsafe, it's a place where any opposition to the county government is often locked up. we don't want to see refugees locked up. we want to see refugees look off the safely. but

the judge here said it was important. the home office be able to implement immigration control decisions. he's allowed the groups to appeal vote. that's going to happen on monday. all along, the government's accepted that they would be legal challenges to its plan while insisting it would soon be sending people to rwanda. but it's still possible, it could face a why did you digital review, including into whether a wonder in fact, is a safe country to send vulnerable people. the u. k. and rwanda announced the agreement back in april. the 1st stages involved a payment of more than $150000000.00 to the rwandan government. the british government hopes the scheme will deter people from crossing the english channel from france in small boats. last year 28000 people made the dangerous journey. say for this year, more than $10000.00 people have done so. but experts doubt that the ruined scheme will change much. you take government has already been into the range of what had been described as hostile environment policies toward my guns and seekers and be

said that people come across the board. and on the contrary, reducing the google for, for claiming to try them, increases the that, that document you go for now, the flanks to rwanda can in theory, begin in the next few weeks, opponents of the rwanda scheme will try to convince the court that the entire policy is unlawful. the dean barbara al jazeera london still ahead on the news. our leaders and the america summit reach ideal to address migration, which is affecting many of their countries. and we'll look at how people in the gambia are improvising to survive as inflation puts this, please on grocery and import seminar formula. one drivers have a bumpy ride. impacted the as my country as coming up with jo. ah,

with right, it's not quite as windy and saturday as it was yesterday, but you still see the thing that looks nothing like summer blowing through towards scandinavia. now everybody else is enjoying what you might expect was significant deep showers than the southeast corner. so really from romania down towards turkey and greece between these 2 elements. it's relatively wall, fairly sunny hot in places. i think particularly of spain this last into sunday with the showers, probably easing a little bit in romania and serbia. and then towards albania, but still pretty heavy in turkey. that normally breeze doing some cooling action, 25 and is down bowl. but to be honest, that's not bad at all. is it compare that was the forty's and handle a fear. this is typically a hot part of spain and he remains a hot paused by the bit of relief from the heat for the north, while 2 showers in the higher ground in northern spain, in africa. look at his plume of cloud. here, there is

a big shout running up through togo, bernini, and nigeria. they could easily be repeated the next day or so. as you can see, the orange tops there, and that spreads back towards the west coast as well. for the next 2 days, we'll bring those showers into the sale, north of that will the winds east and still dustin, the air but no act shot which is 10 degrees below normal is back up to normal. ah. when the news break side is tornado destroyed. everything it's hunched in mayfield when people need to be heard and the story tones, he has done his job to tell us what's going on with exclusive interviews and in depth reports i get on my right the wind. b. j 0 has teens on the ground tip when you were award winning documentaries and lives on air and online.

ah, the shake um odd award for translation and international understanding is accepting nominations for the year 2022 from february 15th until august 15th this year. for more information go to w, w, w dot h t a dot q a slash e n. ah lou ah, you're watching the news are on al jazeera with me fully valuable. a reminder of

our top stories, iran and venezuela have signed a 20 year corporation agreement during present nicholas mentos visit to to her on as part of the deal their work together in the fields of oil, petro chemicals, tourism and culture. both countries are under us sanctions. it's been a month since sharina barkley was shot by israeli forces while on assignment in janine in the occupied westbank, a vigil is being held at the scene of her killing. al jazeera media network continues to demand a rapid, independent, and transparent investigation into sharina skin and the u. s. secretary of defense lloyd austin says china is increasingly engage in destabilizing military activity near taiwan. he spoke in singapore at a meeting of security officials, moran, the well to beijing has said it won't hesitate to start a war. if taiwan declares independence. what from on the sled? speak to a robin kelly who joins this rumble san in south korea. he's the professor of

international relations at pusan national university. thank you very much for being with us. so the issue of ty, why it seems, has become a flash point of tensions between china and the u. s. beijing is threatening and all out war over taiwan. how seriously should we're take this threat? why don't think of how when it will declare independence. china has been threatening to attack taiwan for a very long time if it declares independence. and so there's actually a fair amount of pulling data at this point that says the taiwanese understand this and non fact want to declare independence. some people do, but it's always apparently distinct minority because the circumstances are well nor stood. the chinese have communicated for a long time and very clearly they wouldn't back see this as a causes belly. and so everybody has been very cautious the americans have for the change, the taiwanese are not to do this on the time. these governments have generally realized this would be a really risky course. i don't think anybody bouts of china would do it, but i also think no one really thinks the taiwanese are suicidal enough to actually try this. taiwan, i mean, has always been

a source of constant friction between beijing and washington. do you get a sense that things are different perhaps this time that beijing may be altering the status quo regarding taiwan? because as some has said, because of russia's way in ukraine is some of that. yes, i think that's correct. i think though the war and grain has really brought this issue back. i also think to a certain extent, the presidency of cheating thing in china and the likely that will more into a full blown dictatorship later in the fall. i think that's also really become made the sort of big issue. she has really emphasized this and when is predecessors have not, but also, as you said, i mean the russia, ukraine conflict is a really good comparison where you have a very large power with your vantage claims right next door and invade the smaller power. and it puts the west an awkward position. right. and you very sort of similar parallel here, right, which is the ukraine, a sort of taiwan is this nearby small state, but it's reasonably democratic reason we liberal, there's a lot of sympathy for it in the west. and so there's become an issue, right? well that whatever the chinese learn, if you will,

from the russian effort to take your brain, that they can do the same thing. the good news is, of course, that the brains are basically winning or the stalemate. so i'm not sure it's a great object lesson for china, but there's also, of course, the tension in the south china sea, the biden administration seeking it seems to focus more on asian security issues. where do you see this relationship, the us china relationship heading i think honestly, i think we're sliding towards something like a cold war. i don't like to say that i really think we can actually stop, but i do actually think there are enough relations and connections between china and the us that we could prevent that. but i think there is sort of an increase in consensus quite honestly on both capital is that the relationship is coming apart. i'm a lot of it is driven by the south china sea just as you said, i think that's strategic issue that in china are really beginning to unravel the economic relationship. i think that's unfortunate for everyone. i think the world is benefiting from the globalization. has flowed from the us in china, being able to trade freely and interact and financial markets really. but i think all that sort of slowly coming to an end again,

in part because of the belligerent jigging paying. but also, i think americans in the last 5 years with 100 trump and buying and have really sort of turned against the idea that china's rise will somehow be peaceful. and i think there's a consensus in washington that china is a competitor from a county. thank you. very much for talking to us. always good to get you inside. thank you for joining us. on august the 20 countries at the summit of the americas have reached a deal to tackle migration. the los angeles declaration creates incentives for them to take in more migraines, but with some regional leaders like venezuela's nicholas mature. even not invited old boy counting the event. it's not clear how effective the measures will be. ra reynolds report from the founders across the western hemisphere. millions are on the move, fleeing poverty, crime, repression and climate change. this was the focus of the final day of the summit of the americas. with this declaration,

we're transforming our approach to managing migration and america's. each of us, each of us is signing up to commitments that recognize the challenges we all share . the los angeles declaration on migration includes burden sharing with countries and central and south america agree to streamline the path for migrants to resettle . the u. s. is putting up more than $300000000.00 to finance the effort. countries have agreed to absorb higher numbers of refugees and temporary workers. for example, mexico will integrate 20000 refugees into its workforce. the u. s. will resettle $20000.00 refugees next year. a small number given the enormity of the problem, migration is a humanitarian crisis and a political problem for president joe biden. but it's not only the us that is grappling with the surging human tide in columbia morris. you, me the own up on thought on me. you wanted that me get on best buy in columbia. we have received 1800000 venezuela,

migraines brothers and sisters that have fled the worst oppression. and we have received them without being a rich country. the u. s. pledge to improve its efficiency and fairness in processing people arriving at its borders and will lead a law enforcement effort targeting human trafficking gains. if you pray on desperate and vulnerable migrant for profit, we are coming for you. we are coming after you. no one expects these measures to stop migration. the reasons are many causes are deep and the pressures are strong, o, e at actually and mostly at an insecurity. my country currently is subject to great insecurity. there are armed groups that are stealing, raping, killing, and kidnapping it. haitians are foreign citizens by these criminal activities. they have prevented free circulation of people and goods in the country. the declaration is unlikely to satisfy every one, despite the smiles and the hand shakes. relations in the americas are acrimonious,

but it is a step forward. and given the controversies disagreements and no shows that have marked this summit, it is perhaps more than many may of hope for rob reynolds al jazeera los angeles to the gambia. now where people are facing a spending squeeze after a nearly 50 percent rise in basic food items in 3 months. as amedee drink reports, the high cost of wheat flour has for some bakeries to shut down. yes in jetta comes to sort of couldn't to market to buy flour, sugar and rice to so last visit a week ago, she says the price of some commodities have increased by 15 percent. as a result, she's had to strike some items of high shopping list. please, the group will think of right well now really use it's a fan couple of life yet because we cannot afford it. my father kind of tough what he thinks are very effective gumby and so reliant on imports for nearly everything
