new voice is heating up the airway. lot of chinese listeners. school is kimberly here, but i really think in their own country shifting palate a case, the rise of citizen journalism has changed everything. how do happen? it happened on social media and the undeniable impact of the mainstream narrative that's rarely and went to the pole with those images front of mine is a war that very much came forth out in the media as well as on the battlefield. they're listening page. dissect the media on al jazeera, what we do it all just sarah, is try to balance this story and leave the people who allow was into their lives, dignity and humanity. holding the powerful to account. as we examined the u. s. his role in the world on al jazeera, ah,

ah, just as has been delivered in this terrorist leader is no more. a u. s. drones try kills al qaeda leader. i'm on also a hurry in afghanistan. capital cobble. ah, hello, i'm darn jordan. this is al jazeera live from de, also coming up a tense, political confrontation continues and iraq, with supporters of shia cleric, nevada, occupying parliament while their opponents protest me about a cargo ship with ukrainian grain. seldom a block c port. the 1st under a un broker deal designed to ease the global food supply crisis. and the u. s. remains tight lipped on where the house speak, and nancy pelosi will visit taiwan on asia tool. china has already warned against a visit with

ah, the leader of al qaeda. i'm an elder law. harry has been killed in a u. s. drones strike and afghanistan over the weekend and a televised address. yes, president joe biden said intelligence officials trans awhile, hurried to a home in downtown cobble where he was hiding with his family biden approve the operation last week. so while harry's death eliminates the figure who shaped al qaeda more than any one. first, as osama bin laden's, deputies in 1998 and then as his successor. well, this video purportedly shows the aftermath of the strike in kabul, which kills a while for him. on the weekend, the afghan interior ministry denied reports on social media about a trend strike. from heidi, he coordinated al qaeda's branches and are all around the world, including setting priorities for providing operational guidance that call for inspired attacks against us targets. he made videos including the recent weeks calling for as follows, to attack the united states and our allies. now,

justice has been delivered in this terrace leader is no more. will the taliban has condemned the strike saying, such actions are a repetition of the failed experiences of the past 20 years and are against the interests of the us of canis dawn and the region repeating such actions will damage the available opportunities. will al jazeera is elena tv, joins us now from chicago. ali, so what more details are emerging there about this drone strike the pill, they'll kind a lead us. so reportedly it took place in a house belonging to a taller bon leader. i. so again, it raises the questions of how could you know the current leader of all chi, the walk into kabul without the government here knowing. and that's what joe biden is alluding to when he says, and when antony blink and say that this is in violation of the doha agreement. because if he is staying in an alleged taliban leaders house. and if it's,

you know, this is something that we have to remember, this isn't a highly residential area of all, it's near grocery store, near a bank, it's near a main street. it's, it's an area where warlords and go and governors and ministers had previously lived under the foreign govern under, under the former government. so it's really not anywhere hidden or anywhere surprising. what is surprising is that it was in such an obvious place in the city of kabul, ah, that he was found. and if you talk to people who have been near the area, 1st of all being highly guarded at the moment, very few people are being allowed near there. ah, secondly, the pictures that we've seen, the house seems to be in tattered. ah, so you know, it's raising a lot of questions about what's going on right now and everybody in the cities. i'm confused yet as we're talking to the alley was showing some of those pictures of the street leading up to the house. and as you say, the u. s. secretary of state says the taliban has grocery violated the doha agreement. by sheltering zillah hurry, what could this mean? ali for the taliban efforts to obtain international support and aid given what's

happened. this is exactly the question right. because antony lincoln is accusing the taliban of violating the agreement. and now the tall vonner accusing the use of violating the agreement with this throne strike. so we're still at this weird impasse, even though only about a week ago. there is a conference in foss. canton was breakfast on and the u. s. seemed to show some level of progress in terms of releasing the, you know, the, the central bank reserves that are being held in that u. s. federal reserve in new york. so we, you know, it's showing that there still is, we're back and forth between the tall bond and washington, if you talk is all about leaders, they say that the most of their meetings with these foreign dignitaries are, they're very professional, the very cordial, you know, they speak, i'm almost as peers in a way, not in this weird confrontational way, but then you see actions like this and these kinds of statements. and it just raises more questions about what is exactly going on in this situation. latifah, life was the income ali. thank you. will mama jam june has more now on the man who

was al qaeda's 2nd most prominent figure off to osama bin laden, amen. and the war had, he had long been a deputy to osama bin laden, but after the u. s. killing of the vin and car, the leader in 2011. so i had, 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 inherit was on blood his legitimacy as a will. jack had leader all his a credibility and legitimacy on karima amongst the various mal jayden groups born in egypt in 1951. so ari came from a distinguished family, studied medicine, and became a surgeon. in 1973, he joined the egyptian islamic jihad group the assassination of president unless said that the nice and $81.00 for which the group was blamed, proved to be a turning point for so heavy. while 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 had he left egypt for per shower in pakistan, where he worked as a dr. treating afghan fighters. then it was on to afghanistan where he fought against the soviet occupation and where he began his partnership with bin laden. 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, the establishment of islamic rule throughout the world. and of card 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 offshoots of the armed group in yemen. somalia and algeria are widely believed to be his work of the one. now

some of the latin was assassinated and aim of the lady took over. 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 alti, this dominance was being increasingly challenged by isolate which had carved out territory for itself in it up syria and libya, and had fighters in yemen in 2016. so i had a 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 at all. it clearly loosely me, when i call upon the brotherly muslims, angie hotties in general, and in afghanistan in particular, to get behind the jihad in the patient and the steadfast emerald, and not to respond to the cause aimed at dividing the ranks of jihad. he's suffering. 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. the white house has announced

a $1000000000.00 in aid. the air is across the u. s. affected by extreme weather, while fires are raging in california, and the state of kentucky is reeling out. the deadly floods their rob reynolds felt . heart rending scenes in rural kentucky as intense rainstorms have caused flooding day after day in mountain valleys, many people in the impoverished region have seen all their possessions washed away with laugh for houses and couple of vehicles, all our farm equipment. i mean, technically, there's not enough left earthly homes gone. my new home i children going to separate scratch all over again. but even worse, the floods have claimed at least 30 lives. these children were ripped from their mother's arms by the rushing water. all 4 siblings drowned. the death toll is expected to rise. there are hundreds of on accounted for people minimum. and we

just, we just don't have a firm grasp on that. i wish we did. more than 12000 people are without electricity, and there is more we're ain on the way. intense weather events like the one in kentucky are a consequence of global heating. scientists say this is exactly the fingerprint, the signature that we would expect with global warming due to the increase in greenhouse gases from human activities. as the atmosphere warms, the air can hold more moisture, unleashing epic storms. in las vegas, the desert city better known for casinos than catastrophes. thunderstorms inundated the famous strip and flooded hotels. when conditions are right, we can get these catastrophic rein events, several inches per hour, from flood to fire. in northern california, a wildfire sparked on friday, grew to consume more than 23 square kilometers of forest land. the biggest blaze in

the state. this year. fire fighters found to people dead in a burned out car, in their homes, drive way. firefighters sate years of drought and unusually high temperatures. also linked to global warming have created more intense and fast moving fires. the biden administration and democrats in congress are pushing a bill to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and moved toward clean energy. but senate republicans including their leader, mitch mcconnell, part of whose own state of kentucky is under water, oppose the climate legislation for those affected by the back to back disasters sweeping the country. the legislation is far too little, too late. rob reynolds al jazeera, not media outlets, and taiwan are reporting that us how speak and nancy pelosi will visit the island, though there's no confirmation from her office. she's on

a tour of asia and has just landed in malaysia's capital column. port. china has won the us of serious consequences, if pillows his visit to taiwan, goes ahead. beijing considers the island a pot of china. as we, we can see at such a with it is apparently very much dangerous, very much provoked if, if the us, he insists on dia, on making delays it, china will take a firm and a strong measures to safeguard our national sovereignty. and a terrill tore integrity when us bring in dig a pollen. she's the international editor of taiwan plus and joins us floss guide from the time when he's capital taipei. deborah said americans are remaining tight lipped about a possible pelosi visit to taiwan. why is this all so contentious? well, there, and it's not just americans that are remaining tight lipped about it all to

taiwanese officials aren't saying much about it. in fact, the spokesman just gave a briefing and saying that they have no comment on the issue. now the closest bad taiwan has come to saying anything about it as far as their government officials go as the as the premier who said that they are prepared either way. now one of the main issues here is this comes at a time and tiwana relations with china are at some of its lower levels. while the u . s. relations to are at quite in the air been so for tie one, this is quite a risky issue for having nancy pelosi coming here. as we know, a china claim by one as part of its territory. and any action that give high want legitimacy and its own right, ranko china, you've seen and heard in the response so far. so it's become a content issue because taiwan definitely wants to be recognized as its own to stand on its own. and these high level visits give it legitimacy,

but at the same time, the risk it poses with its relations to china, or even with china taking aggressive action again, why one, once they get this recognition is extremely high too. so they are in that bit of a quandary. they're doing what, what are ordinary people in taiwan making a bowl? there's how a feeling right, so the time the public has largely remained quiet about in that time 1500 people people in. so i want to have lifted the specter of china and meeting for a decade. so all this language aggressive language from china, you know, they will listen to it, but they're usually isn't much of a reaction to it. also in recent, msc and trying to increase its aggressive actions again by one, by more incursions into the air defense zone. i want these people are and the people here are just watching what's happening really closely. they, they know that they've been in the middle of this before. they also know that either way, it's out of their hands. but what made affect them very practically. and what is

most troubling to them is the fact that china tie wants largest trading partner. and we're now hearing, according to local media reports, china is banning about a 100 agricultural companies from ty, one are banning the product from them. possibly in retaliation to what could be nancy pelosi visit. and that will affect the pi i want to. i want to people directly, so it's not just the trying to have the power to perhaps take military action to get pi want. it also has the power to economically punish taiwan. and that's what will worry many people here. alright, i've given up allan life a day and type i didn't thank let's come here now just here including desperate so fuel huge crowds flocked towards a damaged hunger in libya moment. ford exploded. and we'll take you on patrol with nigeria, security forces, they hung on please going up sales. ah

hello there. we've seen some severe flooding effect uganda. but before we get to africa, let's have a look at the middle east and unsettled weather here of the past week. caused flooding for some of the gulf states as well as southern areas of iran. now it is an improving pictures. you can see on tuesday we still got that heavy rain affecting western areas of saudi arabia. we could even see one or 2 showers in riyadh, but certainly places like yemen, seeing wessa weather does the remain while the cloudy for some of the gulf states looking a little bit cooler here. and we do expect it for this time of year. but lots of heat still dominating the levant with temperatures in places like q weight, as well as the rock likely to touch 50. certainly, by the time we get to the end of the week, it is heating up. that remains very hot across more than areas of africa, but for that wet weather we have to head to more central areas. and this was the

scene in easton, uganda, off to 4 rivers birth. their bank. thanks to to renshaw, re now what is the wet season? but the rain has been falling rather heavily here than we usually see. you can see on shoes and certainly to the end of the week. come paula in uganda expectancy thunderstorms. we've also got thunderstorms affecting southern areas of namibia rolling into southern botswana and northern areas of south africa. we will see that rain edge in to cape town by friday on counting the cost. the european central bank raises interest rates to rain in inflation. good wising borrowing costs and political turmoil was italy's death. good. the e, you agree to comp, natural gas use in winter? will that help to averse an energy crisis? counting the cost on al jazeera, the u. s. is always of infected people around the world. people pay attention to what we're doing here now does either is very good. they're bringing the news to

the world from here. lou. ah, welcome back. a quick reminder about top stories here at this hour. the leader of al qaeda. i'm an elder lottery, has been killed in a cia drone strike in afghanistan over the weekend in a televised address announcing the strike. yes, president joe biden said intelligence officials, trucks along re, to a home in downtown cobble where he was heidi council, that protested, backing iraq is ship politician will come a sub i continue to camp inside the country's bottom and building been refusing to leave until there was political change on monday, supporters of rival political groups gathered me a bite to stage the right. and for the 1st time since the one ukraine began to ship

filled with grain as left ukrainian, ported odessa deal ukraine and russia signed with a you and in turkey zone, he set to arrive in istanbul for checks on tuesday. now supporters of an iraqi political block have demonstrated in baghdad against the takeover of parliament by supporters of sheer lead a multitude sada santa has called in iraq, his to joined what he calls a revolution. but his opponent say it's a qu. meanwhile caretaker prime minister mustafah ha to me as chad, a security meeting to prevent more confrontation, margaret de la had reports from the rocky capital. i protest this and counter protests, supporters of iraq scored nation free more can gather. can you better bad the green zone? there denouncing what they considered a cool by raven, she alida looked at the solder and his followers. well, he followed by the shutter. yeah. lights you up and of course of the we're here to regain the legitimacy of the states. institutions. does husband violated by the

occupation of the party of the hands of cassandra scott, we tried to keep it peaceful. oh, 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 their people. so many fear it could gets worse. opposing groups have been intensifying their campaigns and seem to be pushing for a showdown ah, sensitive day a. so the supporters have, as they did a sit in the parliament building headed amory atop leader with the coordination framework, has warned of bloodshed and called for dialogue. this escalation comes against the

backdrop of league audio recordings attributed to former prime minister nodding. malik, he will, he is heart insulting al southern and his affiliates the services have requested that america recordings be condemned as a prerequisite for dialogue with honor and we will remain here, did our leader instructs us to leave? it's not just the political dispute is rather a revolution against the cares of corruption or oppression. the conflict over forming a government started here among glo makers months ago. but these processes say they not only follow their leaders, but they also want to change the whole political system. of the way eligible bed of iran's atomic agency says his country has the ability to produce a nuclear bomb,

but doesn't plan to vomit. islam. his remarks came out before the us announced fresh sanctions on entities involved in iran's oil and petrochemical, trade pay, omaha did go you that 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. actually. meanwhile, united nations is hosting the review of the treaty on the non proliferation of nuclear weapons diplomats have gathered as they tried to navigate uncertainty over the war and ukraine. western salumi reports from the u. s. the un secretary general kicked off the 10th review conference of the n p t by sounding the alarm to the day humanities. just one misunderstanding, one miscalculation away from nuclear, elation we have been extraordinary. lucky so far, but lucky is not the strategy. his pessimism stands in sharp contrast to when

russia in the united states signed on to the treaty in 1970. this is indeed an historic occasion. it was the height of the cold war, and the goal was to prevent a nuclear conflict. nations of the world moved from a period of confrontation to a period of negotiation and a period of lasting peace. as recently as january, the 5 permanent members of the un security council, who also happened to be the officially recognized nuclear weapons states, the united states, the united kingdom, russia, china, and france, all pledge not to further disseminate nuclear weapons. but a month later, russia invaded ukraine, while russia claims full compliance with the n p t. others consider that a threat and is engaged in reckless, dangerous nuclear saber rattling with its president warning that though supporting ukraine self defense, quote,

risk and consequences such as you have never seen in your entire history. and then there's the iran nuclear deal agreed in 2015. it was heralded as a step toward reducing proliferation until the u. s. withdrew. now iran says it has enough uranium to build a nuclear weapon. you don't want each wonder, you don't modern mobile while few nations have gone as far as north korea and trying to build them anti nuclear campaign, or say other countries are expressing a new willingness to host them as a deterrent. that's what frightens valerie. a has a nuclear expert from ukraine attending the conference. so there is a widespread belief that nuclear weapons have prevented a big war. and it turned out not to be true signatories to the n p t. r. meant to gather every 5 years in an attempt to advance the goal of disarmament this year. thanks to global tensions. experts say there's little hope of action. kristin
