ah, no place inside gone was say the press retreated of the car about a media hub and vital vantage point. during the 1st truly televised war from the roof, we could see the vacuum at the american embassy, where the most iconic images of the conflict in vietnam were transmitted to the world. this was the front row sheet to the final stages of the war saigon, caravel war hotels. on al jazeera, they watch us. they gather evidence with so can we and american cyber activists develops and tap used in brazil to monitor the police . we have more cameras than they do because where the people, a bigger brother rebel peaks on are just

0. ah, this is al jazeera ah, there i'm carry, don't st. mrs. and he is our life and they are coming up in the next 60 minutes. how speaker nancy pelosi lands in taiwan. a highest ranked u. s. official to visit in 25 years. she's been welcomed in taipei. the foreign minister says the visit shows united states rock solid support. as a furious reaction from china, the military says it will carry out targeted actions around the island a day after the us and it killed archive. the leader i'm on our hearing. we have reaction from washington, dc. and on he december to the sports, it's had the merge tiger and down up to $800000000.00 to play the saudi back live

series, and lawyers who basketball star brittany groin and expect a verdict in her russian drugs trial. very soon with the speaker of the u. s. house representatives, nancy pelosi has arrived in taiwan despite warnings of severe consequences from beijing. of those is the most senior us official to visit the self governing island in 25 years. she's expected to visit parliament and meet the president on wednesday . china, which considers taiwan, part of its territory, says it will launch what it calls, targeted military actions around the island. and shortly after landing, lucy gave a brief statement. she said our congressional delegations visit to taiwan honors america's unwavering commitment to supporting tie ones, vibrant democracy. america's solidarity with the 23000000 people of taiwan is more

important today than ever. as the world faces a choice between autocracy and democracy. but speak to or she had a chance he joined the slide now from washington d. c. and what, what can we make of all this it's an interesting question and i think there is certainly now that we have nancy pelosi is own statement about why she visited it is your opinion seems to become less thing around. a sense that she really wanted to push her. so ford has perhaps we get into the mid term elections here in the us as perhaps so leadership may be challenged. if, as is predictive, the democrats all routed in those mid term elections as a very important international plan. she not mentioned in her off at the washington post. it was published shortly after she arrived. she mentioned that she was fighting for democracy was autocracy in taiwan. but she was also,

she also mentioned that she went to ukraine in april where she felt she had to fight for democracy as well. so it's fascinating, it seems to be, i mean there is a sense that clearly this is about her importance on the international stage, which might come in useful in the coming in the coming months. but then you get into all the different dimensions of the visit because the white house is saying publicly that this shouldn't be a big deal about that. first of all, they have no control over what the speaker of the house does. a separation of power between the executive and the congressional branch. nancy pelosi is the speaker of al. she does what she once and, and we've had john kirby in particular, the national security council director during a lot of interviews. 2 where he repeatedly says the phrase, there is no change in policy. we do not support taiwanese independence very explicitly. often we actually get a slightly more more fudge in the sense that you are false. he hasn't changed. we

acknowledge the one china policy, but this is all of a very explicit but them. but he goes on to say as an, as the blinking on on monday. so that for if there is any escalation, it's all up to china. it wasn't pelosi was escalating by going to taiwan. it's china who will be to blame for escalation if they react to police. visiting taiwan is the logic and the arguments that were getting from the white house in public and private. however, they let it be known to the press, they all almost unified from the ca to the commander in chief against this visit. that's the fact actually. but let it be known to tom friedman of the new york times, the main call miss taylor is often seen as a, as a biking administration. ready administration whisperer that by word the policies visit my jeopardize talks that the by didn't ministration has been having with china over not rearming. russia as it's all, maria's depleted in ukraine and that but they're all rather unhappy. and then we

also get the chinese point of view that we're beginning to get more off now. and you know, we're talking just be timeless in beijing, which is why it's all very well. but the fact remains the bite. ministration has been very tough on taiwan in recent months. joe biden has said a number of things about defending taiwan if it was ever invaded militarily, which is, which has been, has given this idea of strategic ambiguity about what's supposed to be strategic ambiguity when it comes to the us and its responsibilities to taiwan. so there is that suspicion that even though the u. s. is briefing against the police. he visit that in the end. they are hard liners on taiwan and they have no problem with the one china policy being chipped away. and she had, when we look at her motivation for this trip, is it anything to do with her legacy as it were in a micro sense? so is that just to simplicity we can, we were going to have to find out and i was,

i have a feeling is there, but i mean, you know, you don't seem to be a trip that is designed to, to see the initiative perhaps at a time when she has an opportunity to be seen on the world stage, she has actually got taiwanese american constituency and her and in her district. but it does appear that if it's to be believed, that the white house is against it. but the entire security establishment of the united states is against the thinking. and i suppose being like we were already a war effective. we had a proxy sentence with one with one nuclear power in the world. do we really need to be at war with another? so explicitly, if that's to be believed, then this is really all down to nancy pelosi herself and her place in history. she have a time seat law office in washington, d. c. thank you. are the spite holy diplomatic controversy?

nancy pelosi received a warm welcome in time. once she landed well, this is hi pay tower 101. it's a skyscraper and the tallest building in taiwan. and we can see a message to the us house because the u. s. in general, broke costs on its side to millions. harlan is the international editor of high one plus. she says it's why one is exercising caution. doing flows is visit this kind of activity. if it is china, just sending warplanes into what you call the air defense identification. the i the, that's an aerospace that taiwan monitors is quite predictable. trying to does that every time it feels like taiwan has this pleated and often that displeasure comes from delegation for delegation disappearing or i want exerting itself on the international stage. or i want 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 a d, i the, and hot that

a defense identification zone into bonafide tie one aerospace then that will set a precedent that that will very clearly send a message. i mean, there are questions about whether they would even dare asli over a high one fall in that's the case, then that's definitely racking up pension. and maybe you're leading to some kind of conflict because every time trying to send those planes over. and even if it is on time when they're based, taiwan military scrambled their fighter jets to try and monitor the activity. if not trying the weight china from going any further. so you know, that kind of activity is being very closely watch militarily. in fact, one says it's increases level of military alertness and defending itself not only and their faith in its waters on land. and it is taking that with much caution, especially given china, very angry rhetoric and aggressive threats towards pie one. what santa was swift to

condemn closes visits. the defense ministry says the materials on the high alert, most launch targeted operations. china's a foreign ministry has responded as saying, is it severely impacts the political foundations of china us relations? beijing has stations armored vehicles in the chinese port seat of she men ahead of places visit military vehicles, were seen patrolling bridges and streets in the strategic city across the street from taiwan. images on social media showed vehicles in tanks on some beaches. valente mark is a senior research fellow at the center for china and globalization. he says the visits will create a deeper mistrust in china towards the u. s. i think that this opens a new chapter in the descent between china, the 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 wanted 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. fennimore head on my knees are including when shall iraqi political lead them toward the al serra calls on his supporters to leave holland and continue the city outside. both sides mourn their dead protest. isn't the democratic republic of congo. said i'll keep up the pressure on un peacekeepers to leave and in sports. thanks. but no thanks. find out how much money tiger woods was offered to play the live seat.

ah, it was present, joe biden says, justice has been delivered after confirming the killing of arcade as a leader in afghanistan. the drone strike was carried out by the c. i a in cobble on sunday. bon approve the operation last week after months of planning. when i ended our military mission of cancer, 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 terrace receipt 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 don't just that was our hurry was traced to a house in the busy neighbourhood, were several embassies are based. other family members reportedly unharmed in the

attack. the egyptian surgeon took charge of archive after a summer. ben louden was killed in 2011. he helped coordinate the 911 attacks on the us that killed nearly 3000 people. i'm a jam june has more now on the man who was al qaeda's 2nd most prominent figure after a sullivan. lawton, a man. and so he had long been a deputy to some of them. but after the u. s. 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 jed 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 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 is 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 the london was assassinated and a man of the light 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 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 learning 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 saw from the death of a minute to why 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. am i cannot joins us lies, not from outside the white house. and mike, the administration very came to portray this as a significant victory very much so and all so insistent that this is evidence that the u. s. withdrawal from of gunny stung, did not lead to it dropping its god that it continues to protect us interests and prevent attacks on united states interests. this is a theme that the administration has been pushing in the wake of the announcement. now a national security advisor briefed a gave a extended briefing in terms of the timeline of events. a he pointed out that this operation began way back in april when intelligent sources became aware of sour here. his presence in kabul. they then continued to monitor him, establishing what they call his pattern of life. and then on the 1st of july,

president biden was brief by his security advisors. this photo released to by the white house in the course of the morning. and he then went back, ask questions about how the operation would be conducted. and then on the 24th of july, that's just over a week ago on monday, he was given a final briefing on the operation the method was discussed. and then he gave the go ahead so that operation was then in under way, it was finally carried out on saturday evening u. s. time. that's early sunday morning. couple time. but reason of the white house is saying why there was a delay in announcing the attack is because the administration wanted to be absolutely sure that there were no civilian casualties in this attack apart from saudi himself. so the administration pointing it very much as a victory saying as well that there are still questions to be on said in particular, what role of any of the taliban had in a sheltering this fugitive was such

a period of time? montana at the white house. thank you. well, this is where that strike took place shortly after dawn on sunday. it's at the heart of what was cobbled diplomatic district, a busy neighbourhood where there are several embassies, summit suspended operations off the us led coalition withdrew from afghanistan last year to serious out the t fees 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, or come on hider has more for us from the kind of tribal district at afghanistan's border with pakistan. the hybrid boss connects the provincial capital of the hi booked and quote for shaw to the city of july bod, which is situated wished from here. and i've got means that the shower is one of the clergy major cities to the avalon front. dea, therefore, it would not surprising to find that osama bin ladin along with ida arab fight dead, came to august on, along with i'm in a de why he re, i do fight against the russian fortune of one is done. they made me shall, were day home from head, they would able to regroup, to be able to get logistical supplies and add their time to had all the head from the u. s. government from the cia which engaged out of re james and out of quite

go to the edge. so that means eventually they will be negotiations. so that's it. it's eventually a political game. it's not really going forward for some sort of freeform for the whole political process. this political standoff has disrupted work across several state institutions. iraqis are facing scorching summer temperatures and possibly weeks of political unrest. many have been hoping for a new government that can enhance services and improve the lives. although it's an oil rich country, iraq remains one of the least developed nations in the world. poverty and unemployment on the rise high shower guy that thought about, we count on you authorities to create jobs. we need jobs, we have been waiting for so long. people here were hopeful for a change, especially after last october z elections. but recent events have overshadowed those hopes. without through i had algebra. bob at the head of the international

he without just a reminder of our main stories now. u. s. how speak nancy pelosi has arrived in taiwan. she says it shows america's unwavering commitment to supporting taiwan democracy. posey is the most senior us official to come to the self government island in 25 years. beijing has condemned the business and vow to launch what is cool in targeted military operations. on the vehicles have been seen petroleum, the chinese seat of she men across the street from united states says he has killed the lead of al qaeda in a drones striking afghan capital. kabul said joe biden says intelligence officials trot, i'm calling from a hearing to a home in the center of the city. as we mentioned, percy's trip makes her the most senior us official to visit taiwan in more than 25 years. in 1979, washington and beijing established for diplomatic relations. the u. s. a pledge to

respect the so called one china policy and dropped its formal ties with taiwan. but it continued to maintain a strong and military relationship with taipei successive us administrations believe the self government. ireland has the right to defend itself and have poured in billions of dollars in military aid. with china considers tiwana breakaway province and president. she campaign has said he wants a peaceful unification during a fly from washington. this is a 100 clink form, u. s. a. gravity assistant secretary of defense for east asia. thanks for joining us here on the program. so how much real danger is there of a military escalation as a result of this? do you think? well, thank you very much for adding me. i believe we witnessed over the last several years. it's just wrong beat from bay aging aggressiveness, assertiveness, and even a certain amount of adventurers and b, taiwan as well as those other liberal democracies in east asia. so i

anticipate that the chinese military will be instructed by the chinese communist party to conduct at a minimum certain exercise other military operations that are meant to telegraph and taiwan as well as friends of partners that the chinese mainland is very resolute in opposing any form of independence or autonomy of taiwan. is it likely to be than a short term reaction from china or could this be well have longer term consequences? shall we say? i would anticipate that the chinese, because they have, in essence painted themselves into such a public corner on taiwan that they will have to do something in the short term. i do not anticipate that they're going to interfere with secretary policies visited.

so for secretary policies aircraft, i think taiwan faced the brunt of a beijing's anger in the sense that there will be perhaps a greater scale and scope of military activities in and around taiwan that, that we've seen previously. and i'm competent that china wall, so used arsenal, economic force of tools to punish taiwan. well, that's interesting. you say that because how will taiwan be handling this on? are they on something of a tight rope? hey, when it comes to this taiwan always is. and so one of the tight rope has a very, very curious, precarious international position. not having many diplomatic partners in the world . ah, it's on the other hand, taiwan most would, argues the beacon of democracy in the region. and as an example of what

a democratic country should look like, it's still finds itself with few diplomatic partners, but that, that being said, many, many unofficial friends, i and i would say that is even growing in the face of chinese aggression. but does china really have any choice but other than to act in some way other than you might look like it's diminishing what he's been saying for all these years if he doesn't act well the ccp leadership specifically she jim ping ostensibly does have a choice. however, as i mentioned before, they've kind of painted themselves into a corner where they have to appear strong, particularly as she is now on the cost of, of being in essence, the handled a 3rd term at the helm. all the p. r. c, the, the national party congress said for late october, early november. so they have, uh,

they have to appear strong matches internationally. but i would argue, actually more so domestically, because domestically the p r. c is facing headwinds, both economically and socially. and the last than that, that the chinese communist party now once is an international issue, make the party and it's paramount. leadership being appear week before the chinese people. i think we very much appreciate your time and analysis here on al jazeera. thank you. thank you very much. not to nations says yemen, that warring size have agreed to renew an existing truce for 2 months. yemen has been good by conflict since 2014 while the christmas lily joins us not from the united nations twist. and what's the latest we have on this well, we've just learned in the last hour that these special envoy for yemen,

for the un hahn's greenberg has reached another tentative extension, a 2 month extension of this truce deal. it's being welcomed by humanitarian organizations and members of the un security council. this is one of the most dire humanitarian situations that the u. n. is dealing with in yemen. so this is seen as good news, but even as un officials are welcoming it, we're hearing calls for this truce to be extended. this is the 2nd renewal that's happened since it was 1st adopted in april. again, coming right down to the wire and not a lot of progress has been made since that initial truce was announced. now the good news is since the announcement in april there's been a, there was a reduction in casualties of 50 percent in the 1st month after the truce. some flights were able to come in and out of the country. fuel was able to come into the

country and people will return were returning to their homes. people who had been displaced before so of some positive steps. it was the longest bout of peace that the country had seen in some 6 or 7 years. that said, it's still a very tented him situation, and there have been signs of the violence has been increasing just in the last week, according to save the children at the bloodiest week and years with over 65 civilian casualties, including $38.00 children there are unresolved issues, roads that were supposed to be reopened are still not completely reopened, particularly around the city of ties, the 3rd largest city in yemen, which is controlled by the government, but blocked by iran bout to the rebels. axis there continues to be an issue. and so there's a lot of things that are still up in the air. and while this is being welcomed as a positive step, there's concern that it needs to get beyond a truce and

a cease fire to a more lasting political solution. and grumbling said in a statement that that's exactly what he's working on, his intensifying his efforts to try to. i'd hate this forward and make it a permanent, a more permanent solution. christmas leanne the you and thank you for that. nigeria is that rounding up efforts to finish the construction of a pipeline to help deliver its gas to europe. it's also trying to triplets reserves as prices and demand for gas surge data conference in ukraine. our managers reports from portico, nigeria is a country in the rush. it's trans sahara gas pipeline that's been on hold for decades is now active. africa's biggest, all producer wants to caching on rising gas prices as euro brooks to reduce reliance on energy from russia. we're in the process of building the pipeline a gas pipeline from here of to or julia targeting european market.

for example, continues to rise. so what will be the human cost? what the human cost? well 1st of all, it depends on how fast and how much sea level rises. and that depends on the level of emissions that the world achieves. omission reductions, the lower the emissions so last the sea level rise and, but we are in for a significant amount of sea level rise no matter what that's baked in. therefore the costs will only go up. and the need for wealthy countries to assist developing countries and managing retreat or the movement of human settlements will grow. it's already a subject of negotiations internationally. and that will intensify in practical terms though, how difficult is it going to be with those negotiations? you mentioned to get more developed nations to do more in practical terms.

a lot of migration because people have no where to go. that is the oceans rise. people have to move, they either move inland in their own country or they have to leave if there is no where to go. we faced that problem in the united states already in a place like alaska, where indigenous villages have to be moved that are on the coastline because of a loss of sea ice and a melting of permafrost. so we know a bit about this, and there are other aspects of climate change will cause mass of migration, including temperature increases in latitudes, where it's already too hot and drought where it's already dry and famine will, will occur as a result of greater drought. so we're faced in a number of fronts with movements of population. and you know, we can anticipate this, but governments aren't very good at getting ready for crises that are 10 or 20 or 30 years out. okay, we'll leave it there, right,
