hello china defense minister has issued a stark warning. foreign interference in taiwan as quote, due to fail. wafer curs address of the shangri la dialogue and singapore focus on beijing stands on taiwan. tensions between china and the u. s. r. front and center on the last day of the summit. on saturday, the us defense secretary lloyd austin, accuse beijing of intimidation and aggression towards taiwan. china says the islands re unification with the mainland is inevitable. hi, john general, we will resolutely cross any attempt to pursue taiwanese independence. let me make this clear. anyone dares to see taiwan from china? we will not hesitate to fight. we will fight at all costs. we will fight to the end . this is the only choice for china. well, we have 2 correspondence covering the story. adrian brown is in hong kong. but 1st, let's bring a jessica washington. she's joining us live from that summer, taking place in singapore right now. so what more does the chinese foreign minister

have to say, jessica ah, well, in just a short speech, he covered a range of topics mostly discussing the regional flush points. but throughout the speech, he made a point of really contrasting the way china describes the u. s. approach in the asia pacific, this is what they genes approach is he characterize the genes approach as one that is inclusive one that is supportive to helping the region develop. one that it has serious ties with the region that is respectful of the region. thus is the way he characterized washington as a meddling on the helpful partner in the region. apart from it, of course, those strong quotes on taiwan. the minister also talked about all the content of issues such as the south, china's see he raised to that he himself and his counterparts in

on have successfully been able to manage these issues. and that freedom of navigation is in fact not on the threat as the u. s. minister said yesterday in his address, he also added when talking about the south china sea, that it is important that countries that are actually in the region should prevent countries that are outside the region from turning these waters into traveled seas . so throughout the speech, really a message that the asian region is for asia to manage and that us should really not meddle in china. also, ralph, the chinese minister also throughout the speech accused washington attempting to bully china. that was something that he alluded to many times throughout the speech . he also stressed that they would never fully all the country region and really stress that is the point of difference between washington and beijing approach. all right, thank you so much. jessica washington reporting for us from singapore. let's get

the view from hong kong and bring an adrian brown. so does china have reason to feel threatened adrian. well, we've heard talk before about war over taiwan, not just from china, but also cools from the united states. it's been going on for decades. we've heard this hostile language, time and time again. the difference now of course is it, militarily, china is much stronger than it was 5 years ago. and of course, 10 years ago, it now has an aircraft carrier and several more in the pipeline. the message, the overriding message coming from the defense minister from china to day was this . the time for trying to contain china is ova asian on asian countries. though, of course, of feeling nervous, i don't want to find themselves in a position where they are forced to take sides. they want to deal with china because china is the regions biggest economy. they want to deal with the united states because the u. s. is that welds biggest economy,

china is also concerned about something else. it's what it says is a nato style security block that the united states ones to establish in this region . now that block would comprise japan, australia, india, and the united states. and china has accused the united states of trying to 3 hijack countries in this region beyond taiwan. and it remains the principal flash point here at the moment. there is deepening concern on the us side about what it says are dangerous and provocative ariel and also naval maneuvers being taken by its military, not just in the area of taiwan, but also in the south china sea and the east china sea. and the big worry is this is that the military brinkman ship could one day, spiral out of control. all right, thank you so much. adrian brown, reporting from hong kong or fiji defense minister has told the summit that the

regions biggest security threat is not conflict, but climate change as civic islands are seen as some of the most vulnerable in the world to changing weather patterns. in v g, we are not threatened by your political competition. in our blue pacific continent, machine guns, fighter jets, gray ships and boom battalions, not our primary security concern. the single greatest threat, glo, very existence is climate change. it the sentence where the hopes and dreams of prosperity, human induced, devastating climate change poles of opened in france in the 1st round of parliamentary elections, presidency. monterey microns coalition currently holds the majority of seats in the assembly. and now he's facing a challenge from a left wing block nearly 2 months after being reelected. the results will decide

whether micro will have enough support in parliament to passes. reform agenda, sri lanka, prime minister says he may have to buy more oil from russia to ease fuel shortages . that's despite a pushed by western leaders to block russia as energy exports because of its invasion of ukraine. there been months of protest calling for the government to resign us for a lanka faces it's worse. economic crisis and independence i made raising global prices. a severe shortage of foreign currency is preventing the imports of basic goods such as food, fuel and medicine, and the u. n is warning, could develop into a humanitarian crisis. we need the f word, and now we're negotiating with private supply. the store that we're going buy anything in the private supplies with us. and we buy from them to part of it that sure he a, that does a lot of why you going around, which is,

which can be source back informally, to iran or russia. sometimes you may not know what you're buying, but we are looking at other sources of oil. well, traditional sources from the middle east. we've been taking where we have been purchasing foot. let's get an update from an offer. and this is joining us live from a fuel station in the capital, colombo, how bad is the fuel crisis, mino? it's really beginning to bite at the moment. we're having a essentially consumers queuing up at petra's sheds like this. now at the moment, there's a taper going right across the shed. this one has about 10 fuel pumps, but there is no fuel. and we've got people sitting around waiting, other people for queues that stretch for several kilometers. these are cars, these are motor bikes. these are 3 below the popular sort of form of taxi here in

shall anchor, as well as a whole lot of laurie's and things like that. now, just people i just had random a quick sampling. when i got here to set up up there, i've been people waiting here from 530 this morning that's more than 7 hours ago. and they say they're still no sign of a fuel bows or having come into the shed, at least 2 of the people i spoke to said they did this yesterday as well. that's petro obviously diesel, similar stories. because people are beginning to find that they do not have of their required fuel to do any of the things they need to do. so this is heating at multiple levels, whether it's industry with its factories, whether it's transport or whether it's food supplies, or whether it's the man on the street getting into his car, his motorbike. so it's really beginning to feel like a massive crisis as people no matter even if they're staying queues for days or

hours of can't seem to find the supplies they need. so what is the government doing about all of this? how's it proposing to deal with the crisis? well, we keep hearing of from the government of mainly the new prime minister run of vicar missing, or we just heard from him a short while ago. he talks about from time to time when he goes and addresses the public or gives interviews, he talks about alternative supply lines about alternative vert trade routes and things like that that they're looking at when i say trade routes, alternative suppliers and things like that. but people aren't seeing this translated act, the fuel pump, and that is the problem. now they might be talking about, you know, looking at securing stocks and russia. recently, there was a crude oil, essentially that was brought into the country. our refinery here in sri lanka had closed down for a long period, but that is running now and there's some refining going on. so hoping to ease some

of the stocks. but at the end of the day, people don't see obviously any concrete, a sort of result or solutions and backed is the problem. not the government again keeps telling people to be careful to conserve water for supplies of very, very carefully. they tell them to cut down their trips to a minimum of they talk about, you know, them conserving, but people are getting angrier and angrier people don't have the fuel, the gas and stocks to actually save. so that's the situation here at the moment, inch or longer. thank you so much. michelle fernandez reporting from colombo. hundreds of marches, haven't taken place across the u. s. to demand tougher gun laws. they come after a series of mass shootings including one at a primary school in texas and another at a supermarket in buffalo, new york last month. my can, a reports in washington dc. brain kept away many,

thousands of americans came together with one common message. my cana ultra 0 washington stella had on al jazeera, a building boom, and john the r fueled by a surge and the money sent home from abroad and pain at the pump gas prices in the us top 5 dollars a gallon for the 1st time in more than a decade, ah, how low they, let's have a look at the weather across europe and from the satellite image, you can see pretty clear skies across the southwest, the heat continuing to build in spain and portugal, but we're still seeing some wet and windy weather up in the north west,

and thunderstorms continue to dominate the story across the se, rolling across the balkans. but if we have a closer look at spain and portugal, spain's already sizzling under a heat wave. this was the scene in madrid clear skies and lots of sunshine, and we're going to see temperatures continue to climb over the next few days, particularly in southern areas. lots of hot and dry weather to be found. here we have a look at the 3 day for madrid. well, we'll see the temperature pushing up into the early forty's again by wednesday. further east of this across the mediterranean, it's largely fine and dropped dry temperatures on the up with other areas of italy . it's further east that we see those thunderstorms, some of them rolling into northern areas of greece, but athens remains rather fine and dry. and it's looking a lot finer. for britain and island still some wet and windy weather, but spells of sunshine too. and it's a mixed bag for much of scandinavia wet for norway and sweden, but finland, seeing some heat, particularly in the south helsinki at $23.00 degrees celsius. ah,

we know what's happening in our region. we know how to get to places that others a guy by the own purpose, a 0 had the time and it programming go live on the, on the go, live to work. another story that may not be made for you is happening. as i said, i'm going on with the way that you tell the story is what can make a difference. lou? oh, the

a gallon. the rise is being blamed for driving americas highest inflation rates in 40 years. gabrielle is also has more from buffalo the price of just about everything is going up in the united states, including the cost of petrol for the 1st time in 20 years, one gallon, or about $3.00 leaders of petrol is averaging more than $5.00. here at this gas station in buffalo, new york, it's just under that it $4.99 a gallon. just in the last month. the price has gone up about $0.63. and in the past year about $2.00, there's a whole host of reasons why it's going up so fast, but it's primarily comes down to 3 things. it's the sanctions on russia due to the war and ukraine. there's also just more people traveling by car this summer here in the united states as well, pushing prices up, and then even the threat of

a hurricane or a tropical storm, reaching the south east of the united states this time of year. it's fairly common . that shuts down refineries and also will drive up prices as well. but the bottom line is that gas is becoming much more expensive in the united states and really everywhere around the world. but people here are really feeling it, their pocketbooks. 30 soldiers in india have been charged over the killing of civilians in a box of military operation last year. the police say the soldiers used indiscriminate and just proportionate firing. when they saw the miners mistaking them for arms fighters. 6 miners were killed, not incident in december in the northeastern state, if not the land. a more civilian john than indian soldier died when angry crowds confronted the troops police, and soon as you have arrested a journalist after he made comments on al jazeera about president crisis for law had to you said the president asked the army to close the headquarters of the u. g

unfortunately now the land is also where the ministers was built with natural resources have that right or wrong dad anymore. so there have been a lot of government id and i think they have never been in one said, telling that part of the story in the matching is that the court date is the case of the in the start from justice, which is the media on the 2nd, and before even the national vacation, the government is planning to be on the land and basically to pass that productivity to teams. very difficult to get all the information, but because nobody is free to talk about because of the unfortunate. but i thought i would be very, very sure that we belong to them and the government is saying that the land is the government plan. so that is really where the probably me, i think if it was to me,

they're very clear procedures in the long run, you know, or how to, how to protect and learn from or change the categories from the learn to learn. but the issues there were procedures are not being followed on, tanzania has signed a framework gas exporting agreement with energy giant shell and ecuador. it's implemented to deal with see a new liquefied natural gas plant built in the coastal sign of lindsey by 2029. it's 4 times amy as efforts to export as vast coastal gas deposits a sharp increase in the amount of money that's being sent back home by eck spots. as healing an investment boom in gambia, it's a sign of hope for an economy that's been battered by the coven 19 pandemic. and as i did research reports from ban jewel, the influx of cash is drawing some back to the country. lunch time approaches. how
