5:03 am
he coordinated al qaeda's branches and all around the world, including setting priorities are providing operational guidance that call for and inspired attacks against us targets. he made videos including the reason we're calling for his followers to attack the united states and our allies. now, justice has been delivered in this terrace leader is no more osha harvard towns. he joins us now live from washington. d. c. and joe barton outlined a couple of details about the strike. but you've had a briefing from us officials. what more can you tell us about how it actually played out? the narrative that we, we were given was, was one of enormous patients, enormously methodical approach to be as strike on, on sunday. and a process in which joe biden himself was, was involved every,
5:04 am
every step of the way, once it became clear that i'm and i was there where he was in downtown cobble. first of all, it was members of his family who were detected that then the leader of al qaeda joins them. added was noted according to the u. s. officials. he never left the building, but he was often seen on the balcony of that building and that is eventually where he was struck by to help the missiles, ventilation official said from a drone on, on some sunday. but by didn't, we were told and it was emphasized and ramped the size was can very conscious of the need to avoid any civilian casualties. he would often ask about the structural integrity of the building if, if the cells were dispatched onto that balcony, we're not hearing from experts, will help the cells that these might be the sort of missiles are very long blades. so they kind of cuts the victim up as opposed to explode. but just from some, some people on your own. there are a lot more about health i myself than i do. i have to admit, but it is,
5:05 am
but it's intriguing. can you do wonder how, you know, normal conception of a drone strike? you know, you expect some sort of explosion, but that could be one possibility. he might even commissioned a model of the building to ensure the structural integrity. but it's clear that the narrative was biden was part of this. he wasn't some, some by stand. that's why he, he gave the go ahead only after he thought this through very, very deeply and also partly pulled about the legal implications. they said, they said they got the administration lawyers and to tell them that this was legally cabman. of course, we know that the administration can often find legal advice and says, i don't think they do as legal. but still, the be idea is that this is a very conscious conscious plot on the part of biden kill kite. his leader joe button is obviously talented. this is a major victory, not just for him, not just for the us, but also for himself. how has it played out in the us? you know, it's interesting that i'm going to see a new narrative and
5:06 am
a new kind of discussion emerging. when biting lived up to his campaign promise, which was very popular during the election campaign to withdraw us troops from this war now canister that the u. s. failed to achieve. its major goals of taliban was what was in charge of tens of thousands of people killed or we're just getting the real sense of just how much, how brutal this this war was. this is a popular a popular policy on the election campaign and told trump himself campaigned all that, but then didn't, didn't follow through and he was president. but then of course, you remember that the evacuation was seem to have been rather chaotic. he saw the suffering in public opinion, but what he was always saying was, look, we have this over the horizon capability. we can fight terrorism without having enormous numbers of boots on the ground. and that was a major part of the speech that he gave. he gave today and will, there is a popular, popular position. it's not popular amongst the foreign policy. chattering classes
5:07 am
of washington, d. c, who never. fetal was very particular like, i mean, let me close that funded to be held by the military industrial complex. so if a bite and this is vindication, look, we have the capabilities to strike in downtown ca, but we knew where it was, we found them and we killed him. but now what i'm seeing is that being used by those they same foreign policy. you think tanks and near columns and others who, you know, wanted is bigger than u. s. military footprints around the world. it's possible to say, yeah, but why was in couple of them. and you know, the fact that he was back of that doesn't that suggest if we had us troops on the ground that he might have been able to come back? so that was the parameters of that argument that are now developing as well. but the fact that this was a successful, a fascination, surely does give biking, biking, some credibility, and saying that we don't need an enormous occupying force in order to protect the u . s. homeless. she, she returns the life for us in washington dc. thank you very much. the tell, yvonne has condemned. the strike is saying sucks such actions
5:08 am
a repetition of the failed experiences of the past 20 years and are against the interests of the us at gaston and the region repeating such actions will damage the available opportunities. well, joining us live on scott from boston, massachusetts, ramey curry. he is director of global engagement at the american university of beirut. first of all, i thank you very much for joining us. what is your reaction to the strike but also the tele bonds reaction condemning the strike? well, i think the american government reaction and the taliban reaction were both very predictable. you know, and the americans have a defense budget of something like $880000000000.00 or something and it goes up a 20 or $30000000000.00. so they have enormous capabilities technologically. and they killed one leader after another, over the last 2025 years. and the taliban has said that, you know, this is
5:09 am
a legal it, is there a few people in the world to have any credibility in terms of prospecting international law? right. so i think we can pretty much discount what the american government will to taliban say. more importantly is, what does this, where does this action fall into the and the legacy of the last 20 or 30 years. and that legacy is that as american and middle eastern and other countries kill leaders of these small terrorist groups, these groups tend to grow and they split up and they go all over the region. they're all over the middle east. they're now in west africa, south of the sahara, east africa, some parts of south asia. so it will kill a leader. but that tends to help these groups continue to grow and, and get support isn't the problem is not the groups. are the leaders or the strategies of the west? necessarily. the problem is that you have millions and millions,
5:10 am
tens or hundreds of millions of people living in an acceptable conditions of poverty of destitution, authoritarian governments, and they have no hope. and it's inevitable that some of them break often create these kinds of groups and there's going to be more at least a splintering of these groups taking place. and they adapt of god that has adapted after the death of in latin and after the death of the 2 other successors including the son. and now after the death of swati, they keep adapting and they join local groups like in yellow, northern syria that become part of the local landscape with a try to. and they will keep trying to do that. the level become very, very big. and they probably won't have the capability to attack international targets. so the people who suffer from these rules are the people of the middle east, them south asia and africa. and that's why they're pretty much out of the picture
5:11 am
of the international media. but this is a kind of racist colonial added to that international did you has that's way more than just on his kill. you're not just on that. we've seen saudi arabia and come out very quickly and welcome this new saying he was one of the leaders of terrorism . so what impact will this have on the other countries in the region? will we see more follow the saudis or the other countries in the middle east? you mean? yes. well, i don't think this killing is going to have any significant strategic. ready impact on either cargo or the other goals like it or it's affiliated groups like shavanne and somalia and other places. these will continue to try to create local routes and try to control local territory. they're not going to go try to set up a state like islamic slaten was that was easily defeated,
5:12 am
but they're gonna try to keep praying on lee this content and they, and the desperation of millions of millions of people and recruiting them to try to change the systems of these people living there, track record of giving people a better life is not a very good one. they don't have a lot of credibility that are very good at state building or creating, you know, serious social justice. but the fact is discontented. people will follow. busy these kinds of movements just as discontented people in the united states of europe, follow white, racist supremacists and other movements of that nature, that a seal car the nicest of these groups in the same band as the, as the white nationalist races and north america and europe their cold groups are basically expressions of discontent and desperation and anger, and they will continue to thrive if the conditions that gave birth to the remain on
5:13 am
those conditions. not only remained, but they're actually getting worse and most of the middle east, much of south asia, and certainly east and west africa. terms of poverty and equality, and environmental distress and all the other things that people need to have a decent life. rummy, curry, thank you so much for your time. wilma jim june reports now on the man who was l. a kind. his 2nd most prominent figure after osama bin laden aimen. and so he had long been a deputy to osama bin laden, but after the u. s. killing of the thin and car, the leader in 2011. so he took charge of the armed group attempting to expand its reach while never engendering the kind of loyalty afforded his predecessor while he did inherit the the mantle of leadership. he did not inherits was on the lead, his legitimacy as a well judge had needa all his a credibility and legitimacy on karima amongst the various mill jayden groups born
5:14 am
in egypt in 1951. so i came from a distinguished family, studied medicine, and became a surgeon. in 1973, he joined the egyptian islamic jihad group. the assassination of president unwell said that the nice and $81.00 for which the group was blamed proved to be a turning point for so heavy. well, he was not charged in connection with the dots killing. he was imprisoned on conspiracy charges, one of thousands of religious activists jailed and tortured after the assassination . many analysts say that experience would eventually lead him to violence after his release from prison. so i had he left egypt for pis, shower in pakistan, where he worked as a doctorate, treating afghan fighters. then it was on to afghanistan where he fought against the soviet occupation and where he began his partnership within latin. within a few years, both men would become part of the core group that became al qaeda under their leadership, the armed group accused the west of waging a modern day crusade against muslims and set as its ultimate goal,
5:15 am
the establishment of islamic rule throughout the world. at a car as ideology, along with its international campaign of violence, culminated in the 911 attacks. washington offered a reward of $25000000.00 to bring the wiley to justice off shoots of the armed group in yemen. somalia and algeria are widely believed to be his work. after when now some of aladdin was assassinated and aim of the line to cover, you can see the fracturing of the organization becoming more and more apparent once the syrian civil war began. so i had, he found that applied as dominance was being increasingly challenged by iso, which had carved out territory for itself in it up syria and libya, and had fighters in yemen in 2016. so i, they urged afghan fighters to rally around the taliban and reject isolate branch in afghanistan. the u. s. had long insisted. there is a relationship between the taliban and al qaeda. but taliban leaders have denied that other all if learning loosely me, when i call upon the brotherly muslims and jihad,
5:16 am
he's in general and in afghanistan in particular, to get behind the jihad, the patient and the steadfast emerald, and not to respond to the cause aimed at dividing the ranks of jihad himself in the death of aimen, and so i had, he brings an end to one of the most turbulent times. in recent international security, the world will now be watching to see how al qaeda handles. the death of its 2nd prominent leader. well, joining me now here, and now doha studio is home just here is some of the job that he has covered if get a son and pakistan extensively a physical, what do you make of the tele bonds reaction condemning the strike? and i guess what's been the why the reaction an afghan, it's done. but i don't think there is any surprise to have the taliban have reacted, especially as in the early hours of the weekend. they kind of denied that there was a drone strike. now their spokesman has confirmed that there was a don't strike and called it a continuation of the fil policy of the policies or the last 20 years. so the, the other one are going to say this as a, as,
5:17 am
as what we've seen in the message is that the united states is impinging on the sovereignty of quite a son. that does not recognize the government does not get about the people. it has confiscated the money. so there is being to be the messaging from the taliban, which is largely going to be for its local consumption rather than an international audience. because no country has recognized the thought about government, this is a significant blow, or not just to a high the but to talib. i'm claims as well that the note of lance file is not going to be welcome for any foreign groups to operate ad to carry out to tax outside of above sun. so they're going to have to struggle to explain why was eminent, why he there. how was he able to move around freely, especially in the heart of cobble ever this attack has taken place and what is their actual link with my, the not just of the separate with eminence. why he but there have been long
5:18 am
standing legs with fighters, foreign fight, especially who found refuge in a constant. i guess on that, how would they be able to, i guess, deny that they had any knowledge that he was living in the downtown cobble and will anyone believe them if they do go down that road and try and deny us or there have been claims of eminence why he's just before they've been rumors that he was dead and they would come up with the i didn't audio video message. so i'm, i don't think that there is this time around when the us president has come out and put his stamp so to speak. on the death of a minute why there's going to be a denial that he was there. but i don't think the dollar bon are essentially going to be going down the truth. they're going to play this as a continuation of us policy of not listening to our aiding the counter terrorism operations that i have been carrying out in the last few months. we've been speaking to taliban leaders who say that they are going after isin, essentially on their own with no collaboration of counterterrorism cooperation from
5:19 am
other countries. there's been no recognition for the taliban government and there is no help or very little help that there is to for them to maintain control. because people in the sun are desperate and counter terrorism might be the last thing on their minds. if they can feed their family, do you think that they could be more strikes like it, like this one on al qaeda leaders and they get this done. but if the u. s, the administration has to be believed. this is no secret that the united states, even when the forces were pulling out just about a year ago, they said that over the horizon strikes and then a son us counterterrorism capacity is going to continue in there. they're not going to let of understand, and this has been reiterated by president biden as well that the united states is not going to let a grandson become a safe haven for terrorists and terror groups. but radical groups like a guide. as you heard from grammy as well that this, this is a major victory for the us administration and can't it's counterterrorism
5:20 am
operations. but either has evolved in the last few years, especially since the 1990 s. and this is not the same as high the and a molars. why? yes, it was a major blow to the organization. he was a well respected figure, who people from all over the world very small off shoots were legend allegiances to . but by no means it means means an end. dual fighter. what does this do to the taliban standing with within the middle east? with the international relations? d. thank. when the taliban have had a fractured relationship with with these countries in the region and beyond. they've been trying to mend those ties. you see the taliban, so foreign minister on tours to cut her. i've seen the defense minister going to the arab emirates. they've been going on, religious pilgrimages to saudi arabia and they've been trying to foster these ties . this time around. there's going to be a shift condemnation and congratulate 3 messages that you will see from various
5:21 am
leaders of the middle east. i think the taliban is going to try and work their relationship and whatever they've built in the last year or so. but it is going to be difficult for them to continue to maintain that a lot of sun is no longer a safe haven. they do not maintain foreign presence of one son is no longer going to be used as a safe haven for people to carry out attacks outside of one sun. and also it is going to be difficult for the taliban to dissociate themselves completely. not just from him either, but other groups as well, including groups which are central asian in nature, groups that have been carried out to tax in neighboring countries as well. and this attack also opens up the pandora's box of how are the americans able to operate inside of us on as you've seen from intelligence sufficient, seeing that there was a con mission mission by air and their ground team was able to confirm. so who are these round teams? is it a dis disenfranchised faction of the taliban?
5:22 am
are there americans entrenched there or are they fall powers working with the the americans on counterterrorism inside of one so many christians get to be on so thank you so much. that is osama bon jovi, thanks for joining us. or to other news supporters of an iraqi political block have demonstrated in baghdad against the takeover of polymers by supporters of cheerleader, mac todd al serra, his called on rockies to join what he considers of revolution. but his opponent say it's a qu. meanwhile, caretaker prime minister his stuff, our academy has cheered a security meeting to prevent more confrontation, murmured about why he'd reports from baghdad. i protestant and counter protest supporters of iraq's coordination framework. gather me about that green zone there denouncing what they considered a cool by raven, she alida looked at the solder and his followers. well, if all other share
5:23 am
a yell at you out and none of us of it, we're here to regain the legitimacy of the states. institutions that husband violated by the occupation of the parliament of the hands of procedures that we try to keep it peaceful. ah, what violence interrupted as they headed towards the green soon forcing security personnel to pull out chanting against kate taken prime minister must have called the meat. they accuse him of collaborating with us, either to remain in power. there are reports of military units with arrival factions being deployed near by to protect the people. so many fear it good gets worse. opposing groups have been intensifying their campaigns and seem to be pushing for a showdown. sensitive day a, so the supporters have his day did a seat in the parliament building headed amity atop leader with the coordination
5:24 am
framework has warned of bloodshed and called for dialog. this, this is collation comes against the backdrop of league audio recordings attributed to former prime minister marine mckee, with his heart insulting al solder and his affiliates. the services have requested that a medical recordings be condemned as a pre requisite for dialogue o m. and we will remain here, did our leader instructors to leave? it's not just the political dispute is rather a revolution against the case of corruption or oppression. the conflict over forming a government started here among glo makers months ago. but these protest her say the not only follow their leaders, but they also want to change the whole political system of the we're had algebra.
5:25 am
one reason behind the protests in baghdad is the rivalry between 2 of iraq's leading she. a politicians looked, tara al serra and former prime minister, naughty r mulkey. in october, southern coalition won the most seats, and parliament malika and others called the result illegitimate. in june, sara told more than 70 in pays, aligned to him to resign. that was after a boy cart by malick, his block stopped as coalition from forming a government. and in a sign of the tension between the 2 men, leaked audio recordings allegedly reveal malika insulting sarah in them. he wants of a war between the rival, she a camps for the 1st time since the war and ukraine began, a ship filled with corn has left the ukrainian port of odessa under you in brocade deal struck with russia. millions of tons of grind has been stock at ukrainian
5:26 am
ports for more than 5 months. the united nations chief says the resumption of shipments will help bring stability to global food markets. what we have witness to very, you know, this is an important starting points. it must be the 1st of many commercial shapes bringing relief and stability, the global food markets, the black sea great initiative, the last 4 significant volumes of exports from city ukrainian ports, odessa, charter on mosque, and use ne, together we the agreed facilitation of the n in b, the, the excess of russian wood products and fertilizers to willed markets. it will bring relief and stability to global food markets. and they'll tackle the global with crisis. john, hindrance was in odessa as the ship to lift port. ah, this is a ship that could launch a 1000 others. the rezone is the 1st cargo vessel to carry ukrainian grain through
5:27 am
the black sea since russia invaded on february, the 24th dogs, et cetera. he was a great feeling so much. i felt as if we became free after being detained for a long time. trailing a pilot ship, the rezone is a test run, bound for ist and bowl, then lebanon. if all goes well, many more will follow. alexey gone to ranko, a member of the ukrainian parliament, came to watch history and the make. it's the liberation of the black sea from put in and from russian empire. he tried and did everything he can not to give this ship and other ships possibility to leave odessa port and for almost half year it was like this. but as you see, he failed. the ship departed despite several russian 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,
5:28 am
but this is a ship. every one'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 c mines in an active war's own. it's all managed through a joint coordination center and turkey, and extraordinary collaboration between representatives from the u. n. 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 rezone. john

henderson, al jazeera, odessa ukraine. the white house has criticized china as a controversy involving tie. one continues. several media outlets in taiwan, reporting us how speak pelosi will visit during her asia trip. national security council spokesman john kirby says the us will not engage with sabre rattling and any potential visit is consistent with us policy. pelosi who's been in singapore as part of her 2 of asia, has historically been critical of the chinese authorities. china has repeatedly warned against it. they should consider the island a part of china. my can, has this update from the white house, the spokesman for the national security council, john kirby has addressed the possible a trip of nancy pelosi to tie one. he says this is not unprecedented, pointing out that in 1997, that then speaker newt gingrich visited taiwan without any incident. and even this
