sri lankan, economic and political crisis needs to do monetary on 1 august o j 0. the 19th sixty's was a period of change around the world, including the middle east and north africa. we dreamed of the fair and democratic society, which means of evolution. the 1st of a 3 part series out as they were world, explores the regional events, people and forces that shake the decade down with our dreams were many we started with great dreams but ended up with sad set by the 60s, in the arab world. politics on al jazeera talk to al jazeera, we ask for the rebound you speak of his clearly come get a high cost for airlines and the industry. what's going wrong? we listen, you were part of the, i'm struggling in the 19 seventy's. if you have any regrets, no, we meet with global news makers. i'm talk about the store restock matter. on al jazeera

how speak and nancy pelosi lands in taiwan. the highest rank u. s. official to visit in 25 years. she's been welcomed in taipei, the foreign minister says the visit shows the united states rock solid support. but a purist reaction from china. the military says it will carry out targeted actions around the island. ah. okay, johnson, this is al 0 live from doha. also coming up the 1st shipment of grain from the ukraine. this since the war with russia broke out, finally arrives in the stumble. a day after the u. s. said it killed al qaeda leader. i'm an alex, i'm a harry would have reaction from washington

d. c. ah, the speaker of the u. s. house representatives at nancy pelosi has arrived in taiwan despite warnings of severe consequences from beijing flows is the most senior us official to visit the self governing island in 25 years. is expected to visit appointment and meet the president on wednesday. china, which considers the time on part of its territory says it will launch what it calls, targeted military actions around the army. or shortly after landing close, he gave a brief statement. she said, our congressional delegations visit to taiwan honors americas on the waiver and commitment to supporting taiwanda vibrant democracy. america's solidarity with the 23000000 people of taiwan is more important to day than ever. as the world faces

a choice between autocracy and democracy. i speak to, she had returns, he joins us live from washington, d. c. so what's that for that war? this likely to b, very difficult to catalogue the 7. we know that we've had various sort of guests from beijing on our end, the last few hours saying, look, this is become such a major issue. now. it's very difficult of aging not to react because it will be seen as, as weaknesses capitulation off. you know, again some against an intervention in, in the one china policy that the u. s. and china. busy supposed to be respected, tried it, said, do not do not close, you should not visit. and in fact, we just had this very interesting statement from the chinese ministry of foreign affairs, which is explicitly the u. s. executive branch has the responsibility to stop such a visit. well, we keep hearing, however, from the white house says, is it because of the separate branches of power?

the wife of absolutely no say in where she goes. but then the plot thickens even further because we have an article in the new york times by thomas friedman, which is very much being seen as an outlet for the frustration of the bio administration in which he calls the police. he's, was it actually reckless, dangerous, and irresponsible, and it's clearly spoken to various members of the, by the administration. and this is how thomas friedman summarizes it. it's a measure of political dysfunction that a democratic president cannot deter a democratic house speaker from engaging in a diplomatic maneuver that is entire national security team from the c i a director to the chairman of the. busy joint chiefs deemed on ways actually, in some ways, not perhaps a pleased to the chinese to say, look, this is the fault, you know, we have no control over policy. and it does lead to the question of why if the

administration quietly behind the scenes and then suddenly exploding into your time on monday. if they've been telling police you not to go, why is she going? and after all that, a cloak and dagger stuff that we had over the last few days about police. he's is it, we've not had a deluge of statements from police, from tweets to statements, to now a, to an op ad in the washington post. that's just been published and it's completely about talking of her relevance at this particular geo political moment. we cannot stand by, as the chinese communist party proceeds to threaten taiwan and democracy itself. and then she brings it back to ukraine. indeed, we take the strip at a time when the world faces a choice which we'll talk or see and democracy as russia wage wages. it's premeditated illegal war against ukraine, killing thousands of innocents even children. it's a central america and the allies make clear that we will never given to autocrats. and then she talks about her congressional delegation to kiev in april. and then she makes a comparison to have, is it now to taiwan? and this is about pelosi proclaiming that she's at the center of things out of time

when her leadership may be in peril here back in the united states. as we approached the mid terms where the democrats are expected to do rather poorly. in the meantime, we have the white house constantly saying the state part, but yesterday thank this isn't well. we have nothing to do with a strip. there's no reason for it to escalate the congressional delegations all the time. we have a chinese saying got maybe so. 1 buff, this is the preferred, the 2nd in line off to the vice president to the seat of power your same party, you should have been able to control this. so that seems to be where we are right now. and i said, yeah, the question is, will the chinese were tallied in some ways also? and this is the other last thing i mentioned, which we discovered in that thomas friedman article in the new york times is the administration then not exactly as saying she did not know what she was doing. because in the conversation between she and biden last week to 17 minute

conversation, much of it was in fact about ukraine and biden trying to get she not to replenish the russian on stocks. and specifically the drone stocks. and he was making some progress and, and certainly that's the underlying theme of what we heard from the administration on monday then. but pelosi waded into something she didn't understand and i may make even the war and ukraine a lot west, even though she's proclaiming her support for the struggle against russia. ok, live 1st in washington, d. c. she have a tendency. thank you. taiwan is about 160 kilometers from china's south east coast. it's, it's on the so called 1st island chain, which includes us. frankly, territory is crucial to washington's foreign policy. much of the chain is roughly situated and was as claimed by china searching from the japanese occupied the islands, taiwan, and to the philippines. it forms the 1st line of defense and marks maritime

boundaries in the region. a beijing has stationed armored vehicles in the chinese, a port city of she men ahead of the places visit military vehicles, were seen patrolling bridges and streets in the strategic city across the street from taiwan. while images on social media showed vehicles and tanks on some of the churches are, china was swift to condemn at places visit the defense ministry says the military on high alert and will launch targeted operations. china's foreign ministry has responded saying the visit, so very impacts the political foundations of china, us relations. and the mark is a senior research fellow at the center for china and the globalization. he says the visit will create a deeper mistrust in china towards the u. s. i think that this opens a new chapter in the descent between china relationship between china and the

glass. i'm to go back to some of the comments that were earlier made. i think this can be viewed that president biden has a certain degree of plausible deniability, and he can say, well, the military said she shouldn't go, but she went to anyway, but he did not directly say to her, you should not go. i think that this only creates much deeper mistrust in china, towards the united states, towards its intentions. in particular, i'll with taiwan. i think it's also important to recognize that here in china, in bay ging, it's not just the chinese government and the chinese people. but there is a diplomatic community here as well that i think is apprehensive because the response by china, whether it's military or if it's an asymmetric response. a may have implications for other countries in the region of south korea, japan

a but also in europe as well because part of the, i guess the understanding between china us regarding the ukraine conflict ah, may be subject to a revision now as well. so i think there is a, this creates a tremendous uncertainty, raises the possibility of conflict. some might even goes far as to say, this is a sort of june crisis like the one that, ah, was the prelude to world war one. reverend, here is a fiscal comment i turned the founder of that new blue magazine explains a significance, so closes, visiting why taiwan is now in an awkward situation. so there have been, this is in recent memory. however, i think that this is part of it. it is that the visit is of greater stature plus he is next aligned in succession to the presidency after the vice president. but i

also think part of it really had to do with that news of this broke much earlier after scoop of time. if for example, pelosi had arrived in taiwan and it was announced only after she had gotten there are not me this window of opportunity for china to respond. i think also commentary on the dangers of potential dangers of the visit led to china to escalate its own action. as there has been more warning of the boss consequences. and now i think china is obligate to respond in some forceful way. and so we also see something question is really, how far can they take it? because they also have limits on the possible actions that can take? how long is the position in which they cannot turn down any visit from the us? there are some reports, for example, that were in the very pro china china times. one of these has been reported on accepting editorial reaction from trying to have an affair as well funding from china by that of the financial times and daily report on the travel time,

the drinks. they reported that i was trying to say no to the flow, see that that, but that they were over ruled. and so there is that danger. i think taiwanda and protect they got isn't always in the danger of being caught between us politicians from both camps and their attempts to demonstrate their strong on china using taiwan play off support for taiwan as a way to really seem strong on china when your actual target audience is us motors . as we mentioned, closes a trip makes her the most senior us official to visit in more than 25 years. in 1979 in washington invasion established full diplomatic relations, us pledged the respect to the so called one china policy and dropped its formal ties with time. but it continued to maintain a strong economic and military relationship with type a successive usaa ministrations. believe the self governed ireland has the right to defend itself and put in a billions of dollars and military aid. china considers taiwan a breakaway province and present children. paying has said he wants

a peaceful reunification. on a clink is a former u. s. deputy assistant secretary fence for east asia. he explains why policies trip has angered beijing. the chinese that certainly o conveyed and telegraph of their anger at the visit of the speaker and have already ratcheted up that sanction even earlier in the taiwan spray. i hearing that have sent warships at warplanes towards the median line, as well as conducting some live pirates inside. i anticipate that taiwan will bear the run of asians anger. and i also went to say 8 that in the days and weeks to come, we will see chai, want china of continue to pressure taiwan in both military ways as well as 3 comic wars. the relationship between the united states, china is at

a low i've heard visit is not going to make that even worse. in my opinion, china has demonstrated literally under the leadership in that it is conducting a or policy and the security policy that is assertive and aggressive neighbors as well as others all in the world. we've seen ration in hong kong. you see you soon, john not mentioned the office cation coming out of it. cobit 19. so i do not think that whether or not speaker travels i was going to make things any worse. the thing that i wouldn't recommend would have been to keep it a low profile visit without any advanced notification. he was present, so biden says justice has been delivered after confirming a killing of a leader in afghanistan. well,

the drone strike was carried out by the cia in kabul on sunday, bought and approve the operation last week of to months of planning. when i ended our military mission of canada and 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 terrors, who seek to do us harm. and i made a promise to the american people that we continue to conduct effective counters and operations in afghanistan and beyond. we've done just that was our he was traced to a house in a busy neighborhood with several embassies are based on the family members were reportedly unharmed in the attack. the egyptian surgeon took charge of the off to some of the not and was killed in 2011. he helped coordinate the 911 attacks on the u. s. that killed 93000 people. mohammed john james has more now on the man

who was arcade is the 2nd most prominent figure after a some of the non aimen. and so had he had long been a deputy to some of that. but after the u. s. killing of the then 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 below his legitimacy as a which i had leader all his a credibility and legitimacy on karima amongst the various mal jayden groups born in egypt and 951. so 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 so why. 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 per shower in pakistan, where he worked as a doctor, treating afghan fighters. then it was on to afghanistan where he fought against the soviet occupation and where he began his partnership with ben 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, 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 days off to win those on the beloved and was assassinated and

a man of the why they 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 outside his 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. a duel it 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 in the patient and the steadfast emerald, and not to respond to the cause aimed at dividing the ranks of jihad himself. who did 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 l card that handles the death of its 2nd prominent leader. mike, hannah joins us live now from outside the white house and mike her for the white house, very much portraying this as a victory. yes, indeed,

the biden administration arguing that, carrying out the separation successfully is evidence that it can continue to protect us interests. although it has withdrawn all its forces from afghanistan, a controversial moved by president biden. but a senior aid national official has given a detailed timeline on the course of events that ran through this operation. i. he says that it began way back in april when information made clear that summary was in the se thousands in couple are they then confirmed this fact and continued to observe what the describe as a pattern of movement. then on july, the 1st at the beginning of last month, the administration has released this picture showing president biden being briefed by senior security officials. he was given full details off the intelligence at that point. and also discussions began about the method of

a killing salary. and that to day continued to the monitoring of the man in his se house. and then a week ago, well, last monday, president biden was once again briefed. you asked a lot of questions according to the administration official. and then he gave the go ahead for the operation which actually was carried out on saturday evening. us time early sunday morning couple time this some 24 hours more than 24 hours before the killing was actually announced by president biden. now the reason for this it is said, is that the administration wanted to make clear that no civilians were killed in the operation. mike hannah, for a sat in the white house. thank you. i'll zera's alley let's he, he is on the scene in kabul and sent us this report. we're here in the neighborhood where i'm and i was, i like, he was allegedly killed. and as you can see, this is a perfectly residential area. there's travel agencies, there's a grocery stores,

there's banks, all of these things are leading to increasing worry among the u. s. who feel that the outcry, the leader was being housed in a perfectly residential urban center of the city. and at the same time, the tall a bon is upset that a year after their occupation ended, the u. s. is still conducting drones, strikes on what they consider to be sovereign novel on territory. but still the head hair on al jazeera, influential, iraq, he political leader of tar, the santa coles on his supporters to leave parliament and continue their sitting outside on both sides. mon, the dead protested in the democratic republic of congo. say they'll keep all the pressure on un peacekeepers to lee. ah, but judy has begun the faithful world copies on its way to the castle. group your
