6:06 pm
the past week. this time though, they're here to stay as instructed by their leader other oh, okay, doorstep, safari, for now we'll leave it there. thank you very much for that update. well, one reason behind the protests in baghdad is a rivalry between 2 of iraq's leading sheer politicians or to other asada and former prime minister, mary almighty, not tobar populist. this others coalition, one the most seats in parliament, anarchy and others called the result illegitimate. in june, sadie told more than 70 m peace to resign. that was after a boy caught by monarchies block stopped his coalition, forming a government. and in a sign of attention, there leaked audio recordings allegedly reveal archy insulting them. he warns of a war between the rival, shia camps. my word otherwise is at the
6:07 pm
counter protests near the 14th of july suspension bridge in baghdad. or what's happening there will k is these thousands behind me, as you can see, these are supporters of the pro iranian parliamentary block called the coordination of framework. they say they've come from several provinces. it lake at the counter protested as did a few days ago. but they say, did not know for certain whether or not they will remain here in an open sit in as that adversaries are doing into her parliamentary quarter when they 1st, when they 1st entered this area they, there was clash with the security forces here. and they were throwing stones at
6:08 pm
security forces, one of the security forces. i was telling media that a few of his colleagues got injured by the stones, thrown at them by the protest as that they have been chanting. it's the same technique they have been chanting against their adversities. but what is neil is that they have been linking linking. most of our alchemy, the can take a prime minister as a collaborator with their adverse at his, with the supporters of look to the a southern they have been chanting against academy. they have been chanting against the when i to states. and they have been chanting against israel, and it's ironic because these protest that has that at the same protest that occupy it this same area here last october, when they protested against the results of the general elections. it's also ironic . but because at that time they were accusing the dishes, the judiciary of fraud and of collaborating with her with the saddest movement.
6:09 pm
now that praising version to sri, which is now being a, criticized by the saddest supporters. now these put us as a, they have been also a chanting it manipulating. if i may say this occasion, which is, as you know, would now in the month out of the month of more harlem, this is a, a, so a very sacred monk for she are muslims because that is when a mammoth hussein was multitude or in the same month 1500 years ago. so as you can see behind me, the majority of them are dressed in black black as a sign of agony, of subtle, of revenge also. and they have been chanting to have been moving around that into thousands. as you can see behind me, they have been chanting against that adversities they have been chanting and get it to mocked other another. but security forces have withdrawn from the area was
6:10 pm
little completely towards the greens on where been watching and hearing some of those protest is pulling down concrete blocks are separating this area from the green zone. but as you, as you know, on the other side of this, this is the suspension bridge that is very close to that resign, excuse me. but on the other side, that is a totally different scene. what the southern supporters are again, occupying the, the parliament for days now, and chanting, good arrival statements against dead air rivals. okay. at mar, who'd abdulla had live in baghdad for now? thank you for that. for the 1st time since the war in ukraine began as shit, but filled with grain has left port under a deal struck with russia. many are hoping that the re start of grain exports from
6:11 pm
ukraine will help stop a growing crisis. world food prices, which on henderson was there as the ship left the port. ah, this is a ship that could launch a 1000 others. the rezone is the 1st cargo vessel to carry ukrainian grain through the black sea since russia invaded on february the 24th dogs, et cetera. he was a great feeling. i felt as if we became free after being detained for a long time. trailing a pilot ship, the rezone is a test run down for ist and bowl, then lebanon. if all goes well, many more will follow. alexey gone to wrinkle a member of the ukrainian parliament came to watch history in the mail. it's the liberation of the black sea from po tim and from russian empire. he tried and did everything he can not to give this ship and other ships possibility to leave odessa
6:12 pm
port and for almost half year it was like this. but as you see, he failed the ship departed despite several rush and attacks in the region and on the port of odessa itself. since the un brokerage in agreement between ukraine and russia for the safe passage via is timbo. it's been a long time coming with this is the ship. everyone's been waiting for coursing through war time waters on its way to feed the world. ukraine says the shipments will create jobs and provide money to fuel the war effort. as the 1st of last year's delayed crop leaves farmers risk their lives for this season's harvest, sometimes led by de mining cruise. sometimes not, this harvester struck an explosive. the danger on the grain trail continues on the black sea journey to turkey through waters dotted with sea mines in an active war's own. it's all managed through a joint coordination center in turkey, and extraordinary collaboration between representatives from the un,
6:13 pm
ukraine and russia. we believe that it's critical to and to ensuring global foot security. so yes, we need, we need to succeed. whether this is the beginning of the effort to avert a global food crisis, or the end depends in part on the voyage of the rezoning, john henderson, al jazeera, odessa ukraine. while speaking in new york, the un secretary general antonio quoterush, welcome. the departure of the grange. kristen salumi joins a snout from the united nation. so christian, the un secretary general, came to stress the importance of this 1st grade shipment. absolutely, this is a hard fought victory. for the united nations and the secretary general who's been working with turkey since april to make this deal happen. he says it's important that more food and fertilizer and grain in particular, become available on the world market to help developing countries and millions of
6:14 pm
people who are on the brink of famine and countries that are on the brink of bankruptcy. the 1st ship, the rom zone, he left odessa for lab and on a country that is desperately in need of grain assistance. and so the secretary general is expecting this deal if it continues to bring some relief for countries, much needed relief for countries again. but the important thing is if it continues what you have with us today, you know, this is an important starting points. it must be the 1st of many commercial shapes bringing relief than stability, the global food markets, the black sea, great initiative, the loss for significant volumes of exports from city. you could importance odessa, shorter on mosque and views me together. we the agreed facilitation of the onion b, the excess of russian food products and fertilizers, world markets. it will bring relief and the ability to global food markets. and
6:15 pm
they'll tackle the global food crises. so in keeping with the humanitarian spirit of this agreement, the secretary general announced that one of the 1st recipients of grain leaving the port will be the world food program. i eat not only have humanitarian agencies had less food to purchase the food prices have gone up at a time when their budgets are being strained because of the war in ukraine. so this is very welcome news for humanitarian agencies and the countries that depend on them and the people who depend on them, that 30000 tons is expected to be shipped later this week. and we're expecting another announcement on that soon. christmas let me thank you very much indeed for that from the united nations of 20 more heads on his eye, including me and mars military gender extends a state of emergency for another 6 months and will explain why tensions are high
6:16 pm
and to border crossings are closed. in casa, for us in sports attributes, continue for american sporting icon though russell is died at the age of 80 it ah, you as how speaker nancy pelosi has arrived in singapore, the 1st stop on her tour of the region. she's visiting at malaysia, south korea and japan to discuss trade, co be 19 and climate change. it's still unclear though, whether pelosi will include a stop in taiwan or official itinerary does not include what beijing has warned to her against visiting the self governing island, which it claims as part of its territory. pillows. edaly rel rugle, foot of house speaker pelosi goes to taiwan. it will be a gross interference in china's internal affairs. it will seriously damage china's sovereignty and territorial integrity trample on the one. china principal seriously
6:17 pm
threatened the peace and stability of the taiwan strait and seriously undermined sinner u. s. relations and lead to a very serious situation and very serious consequences, gender. while there might hannah joins us live now from washington, d. c. and mike, what are you hearing about this possible taiwan trip? well, there is absolutely no confirmation either from the speaker's office or indeed here from the white house that she will be stopping in taiwan as you mention as well. it does not feature on her itinerary which has been made public as media, his quoting several sources, the saying that the speaker is going to go to tie one tuesday and possibly overnight there. but as i said, there's no formal confirmation that this is indeed the case. nancy pelosi has remained exceedingly tight lipped some of the things we do know that she was brief by the pentagon in the last week on the situation in the whole region. not necessarily specifically tie one china,
6:18 pm
she has been briefed as well by several congressional members. and she is accompanied by a members of congress, whether they would go to tie one with if she does go well, that is unclear as well. so not a great deal of clarity on the situation. several reports indicating that she is going to visit taiwan, which may have its repercussions. and the other thing that we do know, and this is very important, nancy pelosi is 3rd in line for the presidency. she, if the president and vice president are not in place than it's to speak of the house. now this means that they would be added protection for her travels, not necessarily just to tie one. but generally, the pentagon saying that any time senior member of the administration off the government travels, they all lay is of protection, as they put it. they will not go any further than that will give any details of what kind of security a company's a congressional visit or a trip overseas by the speak up the house by hand in washington,
6:19 pm
d. c. thank you but so stay with this now. our roster find gold is a political risk analyst and the former asia chairman of the republicans abroad. he joins us from a type a well thanks for being on the program here. what do you believe could be the political and practical repercussions if nancy pelosi does a visit to taiwan or is it is too much being made of this as your for your 1st question, political and impractical ramifications. busy if she does, in fact, visit in the coming days, trying to measure talking may have used against other countries as well, such as australia. been more recently going to taiwan by banning agra certain agricultural products. other types of trade, retaliation increase in military exercises, is navea choice as well, pursuing the country that our diplomatic relations with taiwan and those relations
6:20 pm
and establish relations with china. and these are all things that china has done in the past. so there's a possibility that we'll just do that again, or maybe even do it with a grander scale. busy whether that's larger military exercises or banding more products at one time or several products within a short period of time. originally much government to government contact at the moment between taiwan and china. so that's not an option. and so far as trying to can cut off the contact that really doesn't exist at the moment, then the same would apply to the, the united states as well, trade, retaliation, military exercises. whether that's in the taiwan trade to stop trying to see each china c, this would obviously have an impact on the treaty allies in the regions that you can korea at the philippines and then other types of cut him off contact, which i mention earlier isn't really a possibility with regard to ron,
6:21 pm
but it's certainly a possibility with regard with regard to the us even higher closing consulate for example, there was around of that in recent years as well. so their number of possibilities, whether china will actually do those just remains to be seen to for your 2nd question. the fact is, hello c is a bit of a lane dog where there's very little likelihood that she's going to be speaker, come january next year. so what she could really do for taiwan and the remaining months that she's the speaker, i think she asked me to say, okay, well what was the point of all this? and then it's really just the symbolism of the house speaker being here and type. and what about tie one's public view of this? then are they walking something of a tight rope? to be frank with you, the public is not really following. people are not worry of an imminent attack. now
6:22 pm
maybe they should think more about that given the statements that have come from the chinese military and the chinese government and recent date. but frankly, it's business as usual for people here and watch. they're worried about coping 19 or worried about inflation. there's local actually schedule for november here in taiwan. so people are paying attention to that as well. but people are not talking about pollution vision every they view it as something for the politicians and government officials. i mean, visits by us, officials to taiwan are not uncommon nowadays. so is it's the stature of the visitor that so rankled china. that's correct. yeah, this is by members of commerce. are very common and nation increasing in the last couple of years. not withstanding coby 19. busy officials from the executive branch that still more rare and senior officials from the executive branch,
6:23 pm
very rare. there was a cabinet secretary during the final months of the trump administration. that was a significant event under secretary of state was also significant in visit in september 2020 but but generally executive branch officials not not carmen, but china is very angry. i as, as your report from washington, noted that she used in line for the succession to the president, number 2 right after the vice president. and despite us side saying to shine and well, you don't get it. pretty excited executive branch in the legislature branch are separate, trying to look to the as one government. and that follows us here to represent the united states and from trying to view this, this does violate various commitments that the u. s. was made about us china, us taiwan relations. again, even if the us who say no, you don't get it. that's not how our constitutional system works. and in fact, the legislative branch is an independent branch of government and they can do
6:24 pm
whatever they want. ok, we'll leave it there. ross fine, go live person, talk to me very much. appreciate your time. thank you. thank you. chief of mir mazda military has extended a state of emergency for another 6 months. it's been in place since the agenda deposed the government of some sushi in february last year. so she is in detention and has been charged with several offenses monitoring group say more than 2000 people have been killed and $15000.00 arrested in a crackdown on pro democracy process. since the could 901, telephone cima. we made up most efforts in discharging the state duties with might but internal and external terrorists and their conspirators are committed to the utter devastation rather than the flourishing of democracy in myanmar and the legal committee. the parallel government and terrorist organizations against the government, which is formed in the constitution commit various ways and means to distract the
6:25 pm
security piece and stability of the nation. attorney chang has more on this from bangkok on the retail reaction. to this point, they have, for the most part, expressed the outrage of the, particularly the execution of for political prisoners. at the beginning of last week, malaysians foreign minister went as far as to say, that was an, a crime against humanity. he said that he had wanted to introduce the 5 point plan last year, but it hadn't been possible because of waves of coven waived 2 and 3, which had hit me on my very badly. he said that this year mamma was in the process of implementing that plan to the extent of it, to its own ability. and that seems to be a get her clothes. but i think anyone really looking at this objectively would say that mamma, certainly from a military perspective has gone no way toward implant implementing as he owns pounds. and i think we'll be looking very bluntly how they respond. there may be
6:26 pm
countries within us. yeah. and like thailand that'll try to reengage men, but i think the opposition coming from countries like the philippines, malaysia, indonesian singapore will be very strong now either to isolate men, ma, completely from the grouping or to take some, some more positive action against them to, to chime to, to get them to take this process a little more seriously. the opposition in india is calling on the government to rethink its move to increase taxes on essentials or prices for products di bill can rise, will be impacted by the hike happening. that's how the ports from new delhi, the engine parliament has been embroiled in killed over the last few weeks and it is over the issue of price rise. opposition parties have been demanding a debate. they have stage protests and a walk out several m. p.

6:33 pm
the spread of nuclear weapons comes at the top of heightened global tensions over the ukraine war. russian president vladimir putin has said this year, the moscow could use nuclear weapons to defend its sovereignty if threatened. meanwhile, the head of iran's atomic agency says his country has the ability to produce a nuclear bomb, but doesn't plan to, as, according to an iranian media outlet. mohammed, as zombies, remarks commas, terran confirms it has responded to an e proposal aimed at salvaging the 2015 nuclear deal. payoff, however, did go to that. it was after exchanging messages last week and reviewing the proposed text. there is a possibility that in the near future we will be able to reach a conclusion about the timing of a new round of nucular negotiations. iran acted responsibly and stayed within the framework of the agreement. therefore, it is expected that the american government will act responsibly in this regard. actual, let's get more on this now. a beatrice sam finn is executive director of the international
6:34 pm
campaign to abolish nuclear weapons. she joins us from the united nations in new york. thanks for being on the program, but just firstly may i ask you what you make of iran's atomic agency statement regarding it's nuclear advancement? well, we're here in new york for the new phenomena for asian, freely meeting. or, of course we're, we've seen the actions of the nuclear arms states lately, like russia, but also china, u. s. u, k, france. all of them really, really put into question a lot of countries sort of commitment to non proliferation. we see for some, or with ukraine a contradicts being attacked by russia or under the threat of nuclear weapons that makes a lot of non new promises very nervous. and of course we see them, you know, with iran or very, you know, these kind of questions. so it's, it's good to hear that they're saying that they don't want to develop nuclear energy, but we really need to do more to make sure that not only do we not in a new country about new weapons,
6:35 pm
but also that the 5 countries have agreed to disarm the u. k. u, as france, russia and china actually fulfilled their legal obligations under this treaty. because if they don't, countries like iraq might be very tempted in the future development weapons. given what you say then, to what extent do you think russians actions in ukraine have increased alarm over nuclear weapons? well, it really has put the spotlight on how vulnerable we are as a globe world to just the rims of one leader. and president putin could basically start nuclear warren threatened to harm like the entire world with that. and just if he feels like it. and i think that the risks of nuclear weapons use are increasing. and we see with increasing tension also between the us and china, for example, with within nato and russia. with other new gram states, the risk for new revenues is increasing. so it's extremely dangerous moment right now,
6:36 pm
really exemplified by the russian invasion. but it also really puts pressure on, at the regime the nuclear nonproliferation regime in this treaty is this kind of bargain between the non nuclear power states. promising to not develop nuclear weapons in exchange for the nuclear arms states disarming at some point. but we're seeing that the new gums that are not doing it, so it really raises the question for non negotiable says, how are they going to protect themselves? they look at ukraine right now and see who could we be next? if a nuclear weapons they wanted one, i made us and that's why it's so important that we move forward with nuclear disarmament and with his danger. then what's the well doing to counter the spread of nuclear weapons? well, we are meeting here in new york, but of course this is a very difficult for him because it has consensus rules. you need china, the u. s. to russia, to agree to the same kind of language was going to be very, very challenging here, new york, but non nuclear arm states have also taken an extremely important step these last few years. they've negotiated air and brought into force
6:37 pm
a new treaty completely banding on the group as putting new to up as in the same category of chemical weapons, biological weapons. and this treaty just ended in force last year. and now since then, nuclear as a legal, under international law, and that treaty can be really used, instead of seeing the, you know, going down the path of developing nuclear weapons. these countries, the majority of states in the we're actually doubling down and committing to never under any circumstances, to martin no matter what the new cramps they do develop new weapons. and that's a really positive step. and that is going to create a lot more pressure. also on the nuclear arms states to fulfill their legal obligation here in new york and to, to started to solomon process. beatrice fin, executive director of i can we appreciate your time. thank you. thank or kosovo. police have close to border crossings in the countries north off to local serbs, blocked roads, and 5 shots that police on the serbs are protesting against an order to switch.
