the human rights and land defenders in brazil they live in a circumstance of permanent violence and intimidation. the st. clair a global audience becomes a global community on al jazeera in a post colonial world. the scars of european imperialism run deep nowhere more so than in the democratic republic of congo, where her history still shapes the president of visceral, yet intimate insight through the eyes of a whistleblower and the patriotic military commander witnessed presents. this is congo, honor jesse about ah, al jazeera. when ever you oh,

how speak can nancy pelosi lans 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 america's rock solid support. that's a furious reaction from china. the military says it will carry out targeted actions around the island. ah, i carry johnston, this is alex, is there a lot from? doha also coming up a day off, the u. s. senate killed alcholay, the leader. i'm on alex, i'm a hearing. we have a reaction from washington, d. c. the 1st shipment of grain from the ukraine since the war with russia broke out finally arrived. is tam bull

ah ah, the speaker of the u. s. a. house of representatives. nancy pelosi has arrived in taiwan despite warnings of severe consequences from beijing plays. he is the most senior us official to visit the self governing island in 25 years. she is expected to visit parliament, turned to meet the president on wednesday. china, which considers taiwan part of its territory, says it will launch what he calls, targeted military actions around the island. shortly after landing, lucy gave a brief statement. she said, our congressional delegations visit to timeline honors america's unwavering commitment to supporting ty, one's vibrant democracy. america's solidarity with the 23000000 people of taiwan is more important to day than ever as a world faces a choice between autocracy and democracy. i speak to she had returned to you joins

us live from washington, d. c. so she has, what do you make of that and is the white house. so suggesting that this is somehow just business as usual. it's interesting that in the, in the off as that she's just released for washington post. she's also explicitly comparing this visit to have, is it true tv in april to visit the landscape? so this is very much, i mean, you have to wonder whether this is all about the video for the midterm elections. she is getting into a particularly turbulent period, potentially the mid term elections. the democrats are expected to suffer great losses or leadership could well be challenged. but now she's showing herself to be a player on the international stage fighting for democracy versus i'll talk to, doesn't do much trauma also with the taiwanese americans in her and political constituency by didn't ministration, however, is saying publicly that they cannot and will not get in the way of nancy pelosi is

free agency as the speaker of the house there are separate branches of power. the executive congress are in this case, they do not have a say and they keep on saying, look, this doesn't change anything. you get congressional delegations in taiwan all the time. why should this this change? and i think we are explicitly saying, and actually it interesting. john kirby, the national security, security spikes, plus know the last few days as explicitly repeated the words. we do not support taiwanese independence and it keeps using that sentence specifically often you always have to say, well, we know we acknowledge the one china policy. but with that culture, the copays, culturally using that says we do not support taiwanese independence. so this is what we're saying in, in public, but as also cyclic, they're trying to shouldn't get too excited about this. this happens all the time. but the administration also that it be known to journalists that everyone from the, from the joint chiefs to the c i is against this visit. they let it be known to

thomas friedman in the new york times, that they worry that this could jeopardize delicate negotiations. that biden has been engaged with, with president she in call last week, for example, to try and prevent china from replenishing russia's depleted armory in, in ukraine. so behind the scenes that saying this could be, this is, this is terrible. but then you have the extra layer and all the still 3 dimensional foreign policy chests that we often see what china and this is actually partly some of the interviews you've been doing with with the one in beijing recently. that's a, well, that's all very well. but the bite didn't ministration has been very hawkish on taiwan. that has been always creating even more strategic ambiguity about the strategic beauty about the u. s. s. position on taiwan. maybe the thought search. this does suit the bite administration they don't mind to keep on. keep and provoking beijing in this way. what they keep on reaching out here in these terms

like carving out. but, you know, hollowing out the, the one china policy. and maybe this is just another part of that despite what the bite administration is saying, she had all these different levels at play right now. she had time see with that now my sister law from washington dc. thank you. or despite all the diplomats and controversy, nancy pelosi received a warm welcome. in time when she landed, the says at taipei town, one o one. it's a skyscraper in the tallest building in taiwan. and here we can see a message to the us house speaker, the u. s in general, will cost on its side to move to vehicle. pardon it is the international editor of taiwan plus, she says taiwan is exercising caution. that during pollution, visit this kind of activity. if it is china, just sending warplanes into what you call the air defense identification zone, the a d i z. so that's an airspace that's how on monitors is quite predictable. china does said every time it feels like taiwan has displeased it,

and often that displeasure comes from delegations, foreign delegations, visiting or taiwan exerting itself on the international stage or tie one at any point exerting its sovereignty. and, you know, making it clear that it doesn't believe it is part of china. now the question is, will those planes go further into that 80 id and past that, 80 r defense identification zone into bona fide tie one airspace. then that will set a precedent that will based, clearly send a message. i mean, there are questions about whether they would even dare as fly over a taiwan soil. and that's the case then that's definitely rocking up tensions. and maybe you're leading to some kind of conflict because every time china sense those planes over it, even if it isn't on taiwan aerospace, it's high ones, military scrambled their fighter jets to try and monitor the activity if not trying to. so weight china from going any further. so you know,

that kind of activity is being very closely watch militarily. in fact, taiwan says it's increases level of military alertness and defending itself not only in its air space in its waters on land. and it is taking those visits with much caution, especially given china's very angry rhetoric and aggressive threats towards taiwan . i take a closer look at the map of taiwan has the unofficial dividing line on the sensitive waterway between the mainland china and taiwan. and the orange square we see around taiwan is its air defense identification zone, where civil and military air cross need to identify themselves and transmit their coordinates. each honeys military says it will conduct the joint. aaron c drills as well as military exercises around time one. beijing had stationed armored vehicles in the chinese, a port city of she men ahead of pillows. his visit military vehicles were seen petroleum bridges and streets in strategic city. across the street from taiwan,

which is on social media, showed vehicles and tanks on some beaches. china was swift to condemn, closes, visit the defense ministry. it says the military is on high alert. launch targeted operations. china's foreign ministry has responded saying of is it severely impacts the political foundations of china? you explanations randy mark as a senior research fellow at the center for china and the globalization. he says that this, it will create deeper mistrust in china towards the u. s. i think that this opens a new chapter in the descent between china and 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 a 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 from 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, um, 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. ron hoyt is a political commentator and founder of you, boom magazine, explains the significance of pillows, his visit, and why taiwan is now in an awkward position. there have been business in recent memory. however, i think that this is part of it. it is that the visit is of greater stature, that glossy is next to lined 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 a scoop of financial times. if for example, pelosi had arrived in taiwan and it was announced only after she had gotten there, there were not li, this window of opportunity for china to respond. letting also commentary on the

dangers of potential dangers of the visit led china to escalate its own actions as there has been more warnings of the possible consequences i now i think china is obligate to response in some forceful way. and so we will see something question is really, how far can they take it? because they also have limits on the possible actions that can take talent as a position in which it cannot turn down any visit from the u. s. other, some reports, for example, that were in the very pro china china times. it's one of these outlets that has been reported on as excepting editorial direction from china's town affairs office . as well as funding from china by ellen such as the financial times and up of daily the report on the china times doing. they reported that taiwan tried to say no to the closer visit, but that they were overruled. and so they were that danger. i think taiwanda and to 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 up support for taiwan as

a way to really seem strong on china when your actual target audience is us voters . so the head heron, al jazeera, influential, iraq, he political leader, mac tada, goes on his supporters to leave parliament and continue this sitting outside as both sides warned their dead protest is in a democratic republic of congo. say they'll keep up the pressure on un peacekeepers to leave ah the hello, but they still have right in the forecast across part. so thea, arabian peninsula we have seen flooding recently into amman. little bits and pieces of glass still rolling in hand. i suspect we could, steve still see further showers for the possibility of flooding as we go on through the next couple of weeks. you want to spot seeing some wet weather down towards the south as well as some wet weather. once again,

i'm afraid into yemen that western side has been particularly badly hit over the past few weeks. i think that will exacerbate the flooding, concerns that we do have here fear showers into that western side of saudi arabia as well. perhaps not quite as widespread as we go on through thirst. i think human cancer, we should stay laws, you dry temperatures here at about 44 celsius, could get a 50 in baghdad, erodible comfortable 30 celsius, which was at eastern side of the mediterranean, previous sunshine. meanwhile, across northern parts of africa, showers rolling off the ethiopian han. you see these clutches of storms, just drifting from east to west. northern parts of nigeria could see some flooding rain over the next couple of days and that will push through towards goddess solemn areas of marty could see some very heavy showers showers extending all the way across towards the gambia. we seem floating recently into our uganda hoping not quite as wet over the next day or so. still a few showers here. nevertheless, i wanted to show us further south ah,

drank assessment. how much support is there at st protest that we've seen in hotels across the rest of the country street and has been very good that's happening into the co consent people across the country, informed opinions we will say more of what is happening is that climate change it making them work in depth analysis of the days global headlines, rocky is credited by somewhere where the restoring italy's credibility this critics would say he couldn't play the part of a politician. what do you think went wrong inside story on al jazeera? ah ah, he watching, i'll just have a reminder of our top stories now. us how speak and nancy pelosi has arrived in

taiwan. she says her visit shows america's unwavering commitment to supporting tie wants democracy. they see as the most senior us official to come to the self coping audit in 25 years. beijing has condemned the visit and vowed to launch what is called an target to the military operations. army vehicles have been seen patrol in the chinese port city of shipment. across the street from taiwan knotted states says he has killed the leader of al qaeda in a drone strike in the afghan capital cobble president joe biden says intelligence officials tracked on on alex. i'm a hearing to a home in the center of the city us present, joe biden says justice has been delivered after confirming the killing of al qaeda's leader in afghanistan. the drone strike was carried out by the c i aide cobble on sunday. been approved the operation last week off to months of planning. when i entered 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 chairs who seek to do us harm. and i made a promise to the american people that we continued to conduct effective counterterrorism operations in afghanistan and beyond. we've done just that was how he was traced to a house in a busy neighbourhood. were several embassies are based to other family members were reporter, the unharmed in the egyptian surgeon took charge of al qaeda after some have been load and was killed in 2011. he helped to coordinate the 911 attacks on the us that killed nearly 3000 people. mohammed cham june has more now on the man who was al qaeda's 2nd, the most prominent figure after a summer in london. amen. and so he had long been a deputy to some of that, but after the us killing of the then and car, the leader in 2011. so why 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, jerry had leader all his a credibility and legitimacy on karima amongst the various mil jayden groups born in egypt in 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 anwar sadat, the nation, 81 for which the group was blamed. prove to be a turning point for so i have a while he was not charged in connection with said out 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 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. the establishment of islamic rule throughout the world. at a car does 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 phase off to when i was on the blood and was assassinated, a name of the lady to cova. 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. a duel is clearly loosely me. when i call upon the brotherly muslims and jihad, he's in general. and enough, con a son 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 by connor joins asleep now from outside the white house and mike, the administration very keen to portray this as a significant victory. yes, indeed, the administration also insisting that this provides evidence that its withdrawal from afghanistan did not impact on its ability to counter any threats against

united states. that's the point that administration is continuing to make very strongly a senior administration official haskin giving a briefing on the exact timeline that led to this operation. it goes way back to april when intelligent sources became aware that sobari was in a safe house in couple along with his wife and family. they continued to monitor him, observing what they describe as his pattern of life. and then on the 1st of july, the administration has released this photo showing president biden being briefed by his senior security advisors. he was given a full briefing on that particular occasion, all sorts of questions, according to the national administration official. then on the 25th of july, that's and last monday, president biden was once again given a full briefing as to exactly what the nature of the operation would be. at that stage he gave the go ahead for the operation to take place,

which was carried out on saturday evening a u. s. time. early morning. the sunday morning in couple of the delay in actually announcing the operation was because as the administration official at the administration wanted to make sure that there were no civilians injured in the attack. but another question still answered is whether or not the taliban was a where of the presence in couple of this particular figure at this would raise questions in terms of it's a beat into to the doha agreement in terms of which it has pledge to eradicate any terrorist threat within afghanistan, so a lot still to come out of this particular situation, but the biden administration making very clear, it's believe that this represents a major victory. okay, mike, hannah, thank you. well, this is where that strike took place shortly after dawn on sunday. it's the heart

of what was campbell's diplomatic district, a busy neighbourhood. but there are several embassies, some suspended operations off the us led coalition withdrew from afghanistan last year. not just here, as ali latifah is on the scene and sent us this report. we're here in the neighborhood where i'm and although he was allegedly killed and as you can see, this is a perfectly residential area. there's travel agencies, there's grocery stores, there's banks. all of these things are leading to increasing worry among the us 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 barn is upset that a year after their occupation ended, the u. s. is still conducting drone strikes on what they consider to be sovereign avalon territory on the 1st ship, transporting ukrainian grain under an international broker deal has been cited off
