iconic images of the conflict of vietnam were transmitted to the world. this was the front row sheet to the final stages of the war, saigon, caravel war hotels, on alta 0. what we do, and i'll just, sarah, is try to balance this story and leave the people who allow us into their lives, dignity, and humanity. setting the discussion, i'd love to see every time there was an attack on a mosque all the right wing organization. thank me, don't approve of it. examining the headline, it court is the political court that is making political decisions, explorer and abundance of world class programming, designed to inform, the biggest period i want to cry is crowd of people on the streets motivate and inspire you. he's opening an area that a blind person never thought they can do on al jazeera. ah,

justice has been delivered. and this turns for you is no more than you. i says, a drawn strike has killed al cleverly diamond law. how did the afghan capital cobble ah, i'm sammy's a dan. this is al jazeera alive from dell hall. so coming up, us house speaker, nancy pelosi and malaysia, while china warns against extending her asian tool to taiwan. confrontations in iraq, supporters of inferentially, the more thought all saw that occupy parliament, their opponents protest and turkey's control center waits for the 1st grain ship, the left to cranes hold. ah,

ah, now the us says it's killed the leader of the aimen as the law had in a drug strike enough gamma stan us president joe biden said intelligence officials track 0 all heavy to a house in central cobble where he was hiding with his family by an approved the operation last week of the month of planning. she have redundancy has more the u. s . president of the execution of i'm and i was that were here. he was approved for the u. s. and could be effective, and it's counter terrorism operations, even after the troop withdrawal, he ordered from afghanistan. when i ended our military mission, i can say almost a year ago, i made a decision that after 20 years of war, the united states no longer needed thousands of boots on the ground in afghanistan to protect america from chairs to seek to do us harm. in administration, officials said that the 2 hellfire missiles fired onto a balcony of a residential block in downtown cobble on sunday morning with the result of patient painstaking analysis that lasted months throughout. the administration says joe

biden was deeply involved in the planning, even commissioning a muslim of the building and his determination to limit civilian casualties. intelligence revealed of what his family 1st moved to couple earlier this year before being joined by the leader of al qaeda. he never left the building but was also the scene on the balcony where he was eventually killed. the u. s. says there were no other casualties. the u. s. of long insisted. there's a relationship between the taliban and al qaeda. but taliban leaders have denied that. now with this killing and downtown cobble, it will be difficult at the very least, to deny that a fraction of the government dropped it out to a safe haven. think this is a proud moment for joe biden, tempered only by the fact that it took place in cobble which thus raises the spectre of the withdraw from afghanistan. and of course, the terrorist organizations clearly reestablishing themselves or that the attack took place, just as the afghan government is in negotiations to free $3500000000.00 in foreign

reserves. it desperately needs to feed its people, is also a focus of some and i'm, i would where joe biden is in need of good news to quell domestic critics of, of handling of the u. s. economy. and following a trip to the middle east, that received mixed reviews, the white house is clearly relishing this news. she advertise see al jazeera washington al jazeera sally. lucy has more from cobble. it's, you know, again, it's one of these things where, you know, the, the u. s is blaming and because that is our haiti was allegedly here and the tall about because of the drone strike itself with and the tall one never really has yet to acknowledge that that when he was the one killed in this strike, they just said that a strike took place and that had been violation of it. and really again, it's just another complicated matter in the end is the odd relationship between the taliban and the rest of the world. you know, you see world leaders, we saw them in tosh. canton has backed us down only about a week or so ago, sitting down with the tall about negotiating,

potentially the u. s. saying that there may be some indications that they would eventually release the central bank reserves that are with them. and then this happens and both sides are blaming the other. ah, it's all towards it's really, you know, another i instance of this odd relationship between this law mich emory and the rest of the world who on the one had meets with them. on the other hand doesn't recognize them and then also stages these attacks accusing this lama cameras of housing international terrors. i mean, right now people are just sort of confused. obviously life goes on. you know, this attack took place at least a day ago if not 2 days ago, depending upon whose account you believe. but really right now, for the average person, it's just a question of, as i said before, a strange circumstance, you know, what is going on. i'm a jam june has more now on the man who was outside as 2nd most prominent figure off to were osama bin laden, a man. and so he had long been

a deputy to some of that. but after the us killing of the vin 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. so while he did inherit the mantle of leadership, he did not inherit was on but led his legitimacy as a well judge had leader all his a credibility and legitimacy on karima amongst the various majority in groups born in egypt and 1951. so why he 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 nation $81.00 for which the group was blamed, proved to be a turning point for joy. 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 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 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. al qaeda's 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 days off to win. now some of aladdin was assassinated and aiming velocity to global. 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 as far as 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 ari urged afghan fighters to rally around the taliban. and reject isolate branch in afghanistan. a duel is clearly loosely me. when i call upon the brotherly muslims and jihad, 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. he's off today. the death of a minute, 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 elko the handles. the death of its 2nd prominent leader was get reaction on this from the region. come on. hi doris in punxsutawney capital islamabad. this particular report about the confirmation of the death of the lady. it indeed going to be big news in this area . however, at the same time,

it should be understood that the effective date was now in question. because the al qaeda leaders had gone off the radar. they were not able to use any communications . and the fact that i said was able to eclipse the al qaeda a movement there tell. so indeed, there will be questions as to whether there was data agreement from the neighboring country to allow those drones to be able to target the number 2. and right now the number one acting leader of die chinese find the jets of flow near the unofficial dividing line between mainland china and taiwan. tensions are running high with reports emerging us how speak and nancy pelosi could arrive in taipei in the coming hours. pelosi is in malaysia, is part of asia tool. china is warning the rest of serious consequences if her visit goes ahead. taiwanese officials say they will warmly welcome any foreign

guests. as we, we can see, and such a with it is apparently very much dangerous, very much provoked if, if the us insists on the, on making the, with it, china will take a firm and a strong measures to safeguard our national sovereignty and a terrill, torrie integrity this is very much a precedent in the sense that took previous speakers visited taiwan. many members of congress go, let's taiwan including this here. and so if the speaker does decide to visit and china tries to create some kind of crisis or otherwise escalate tensions, that would be entirely on vision. oh, we are looking for that for for them in the event she decides to visit, to act responsibly and not to engage in any escalation going forward.

to vega, paula is the international editor of taiwan plus, joins us on skype from ty pay could have you with us to via so will she all won't she any indication if this visit is actually going to happen or not? well, sammy, that depends on who you're listening to so far there's been no word from any high level official here in the ruling party, the government here, nor from at washington. but if you listen to media, be it international. a look all there are indications and movements that she is coming. for instance, the financial times, its 1st reported her trip signing on name sources. now says that on wednesday she'll be meeting the taiwanese prime minister, tying when local media saying that she's going to visit the legislature when she is here. and now the opposition party, the combing tom taiwan largest opposition party,

is saying that there are so going to be a meeting between one of their high level representatives and nancy pelosi, but as far as any confirmation on the ground here, whether she's coming or not, it is hard to tell, but what we do know is that state media is reporting that tie once a military has raised its combat readiness level, which means it's level to defend himself. in case there is any kind of reaction from china. i'm dea, this whole prospective visit is raising the possibility of conflict. how the people feel about that possibility over a visit. so you know, i, family, people in taiwan have lived under that shadow trying to constantly giving that rhetoric. we're going to attack, we're going to invade, we're going to take you by for if you're part of our territory, you shouldn't step out of line. and so that there used to that kind of rhetoric. but now the difference here is, china is elevated on an international pages army,

much more powerful. it's a bigger international claire. but also the same time i want to also made move in establishing and it's own entity on the national page. and you know this, it's like nancy below the such high level business of the thing, us government, you taiwan legitimacy on its own right. so people do want to see these kinds of visits to validate their existence. there's the validate, how much position in the world, but at the same time, that response from china has always been something that has worried that what we've seen so far is not necessarily a strong military response from trying to. but an economic response from china, which is very worried for people here, because china wants to largest trading partner. and now we've just seen in the past few hours. china is bad, several high branded, well popular food companies from fi. one thing that the violated customs rules, but it's seen as try the punishing pie one should below the visit. so definitely

people in, so i want or just founding back and watching what could happen. but they also realized that it could have huge conflict consequences on them and on their daily lives. if it is not military, there are other ways which try and i can impact their life. thank you so much. the vehicle fall on the now still ahead on al jazeera, the us government announces a $1000000000.00 to help states eventually by recent wildfires and flogs view and chief cause for an end to the spread of nuclear weapons. warning, total annihilation is only one misunderstanding away. ah, true and he has begun the faithful world. coffee is on its way to the castle rutil travel package to the 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

the framework of the agreement. therefore, it is expected that the american government will act responsibly in this regard. the head of the united nation says the threat of nuclear catastrophe is greater than at any time since the height of the cold war. and tony, a good parish was speaking as a conference, reviewing the 50 year old nuclear nonproliferation treaty. kristen salumi reports from the un. the un secretary general ticked off the 10th review conference of the n p t by sounding the alarm to the day humanities. just one muse. understanding when use calculation away from nuclear, elation we have been extraordinary lucky so far, but flux 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 it's engaged in reckless, dangerous nuclear saber rattling with its president warning the 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. it's under unloaded little bit, 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 salumi al jazeera, the united nations. the white house is announced, $1000000000.00 in a sustained stealing with the consequences of extreme weather. wildfire are burning in california while dozens of died and devastating funds in the state of kentucky

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 firefighters found to people dead in
