outside. russia's talk, court designates, ukraine's as of regimen to terrorist group. even captured soldiers facing much longer sentences. ah, defying warnings from china and the advice of our own government. you ask how speak and nancy pelosi is in taiwan. she is the highest ranking u. s. official to visit in 25 years. the trip had not been backed by president joe biden, as she touched down in taipei below c tweeted that her visit honors at the united states is on waiver and commitment to supporting ty, ones, vibrant democracy. she said america solidarity with taiwan is more important than ever. as the world faces a choice between autocracy and democracy, she's expected to meet high ones president on wednesday. open osi received

a warm welcome in taiwan. this is the tallest building, type a one, a one which was used to display a message to the last house speaker. china and russia warned us that policies visit is provocative and destabilizing paging views. taiwan is a breakaway province. it says it's going to launch targeted military actions around the island. ahmed vehicles was seen patrolling the port city of young men across the straight before pelosi arrived in type pe, paging condemned. her visit is a serious violation of the one china principal, which will have a severe impact on diplomatic relations when the relationship between china and taiwan is a complex one. over the centuries, the island has been self administered, colonized by the netherlands and rule by china and japan. after world war 2, china again took control of it. but taiwan officially known as the republic of china argued it was never part of the people's republic of china established by now

in 1971, the united nations, that it would only recognise the payoff fee as representing china effectively expelling china. taiwan subsequently, many countries including us in japan, switched their diplomatic recognition from the r o c to the p r c. since i, in, when became taiwan president, 8 more countries of ties with it, and subsequently received chinese investment and loans. now, only 14 sovereign states have full diplomatic relations with taiwan, but mainly in the caribbean, central america, and pacific island nations as well as the holy sea shepherd tonchee is live for some washington. he joins us now and shall nancy. pelosi was never, not going to taiwan. will she does, it doesn't seem like that. as indeed, as you mentioned, as soon as she arrived various tweets, various articles or statements were released. positioning pelosi as

a freedom fighter in the battle against we'll talk with you on behalf of democracy in a off ad that was almost you need to be published in the washington post. she compared her trip to taiwan, to her trip in april, to ukraine, as again part of this international rima, that she feels she has to travel the world promoting democracy. it interesting. in the last few hours, she received a very positive reaction from various republicans on capitol hill, who have some of them spence whole who, his years and years using below c. as one of the main, you know, evils in america. basically there's 11 republican center said look, i've never used these words in a row before, but pelosi did the right thing here. so she's getting a rapturous, rapturous reception from the republicans on capitol hill from the hooks who, who want to want to challenge china in any way possible. that those seem to be what

you have to go to. but interesting over the last few hours is we've been covering the story is hearing some voices from taiwanda saying that there might be a more nuanced opinion back in the sense that there's an understanding that they cannot certainly they can't resist any trip by us politician. and indeed many will welcome a trip by us politician. but there is a way, an awareness though, that this will make good possibly make things rather difficult for taiwan even as it bolts is. nancy pelosi is domestic position here in the united states. that's right. because china and taiwan have a very important economic relationship despite china's hard line rhetoric that concerns about the implication of this is it not just a diplomatic relationship between us and china, but also for how china could now respond towards taiwan? and i think what we also have been hearing over the last few hours is because this

trip leaks early it's given in china, basically had to respond already rhetorically suddenly on, on indeed, as you suggested that have been various military maneuvers. what we have been hearing over the years and some i'm, this is if she just appeared and i'm gone, they wouldn't have been all these hours and hours and hours of speculation of what china will do. so those aspects of china may have to do something, maybe not immediately, maybe, maybe in the long time. but in the meantime, we're all getting a sense of unease from the white house as we see, the white house officials coming out and saying comfortably, nothing has changed. you know, we still believe in the one china policy, john kirby, the national security likes, person is being so explicit. we do not believe in taiwanese independence. he says, that's actually really, really direct from, from the administration. because usually we just get the, the slightly more euphemistic. we acknowledge the one china policy, but now what he's saying is we do not believe in taiwanese independence as a real concern here about what might happen. although the argument from the white

house is, if there is an escalation, it's all because of china that you know, they're being, they're being escalade tree. it's all pelosi he's being escalade tree because they're congressional visits all the time. although there is apparently an a realization in the white house that's not quite the same. the white house has been briefing journalists, the from top to bottom, from the, from the joint chiefs, the ca, they won't policy, not to do this. we have that very explicit detail in a tom friedman article in the new york times that, that concerns in the white house of this, this trip will jeopardize a very specific discussion that biden's, when having with president she about not replenishing russian alms, which are being depleted in ukraine, so it's all we get all these different layers really get a white house briefing seen as well. so it should be interesting that and then meanwhile we hang from beijing as yeah, we can see that the white house is protesting this visit. but at the same time, we also have seen biden muddy the waters on what strategic strategic ambiguity and

the relationship between us and taiwan. so for all we know, he does kind of want that. so these are all the different elements that we have been witnessing over the last few hours. all right, well thank you very much from washington, chaper county bring us the latest and of course, who speaking there about chinese threats and military responsible reports that chinese jets cross the taiwan strait ahead of nancy pelosi. it's arrival the vehicle. pollen is the international editor of taiwan plus. she says taiwan is exercising caution. 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 taiwan monitors is quite predictable. china does said every time it feels like taiwan has displeased it. and often that displeasure comes from delegations for a delegations visiting or ty, want, 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 plans go further into that? 80 i z and ha, that 80 air defense identification zone in 2 bonafide taiwan air space. then that will set a precedent and that will based, clearly send a message. i mean, there are questions about whether they would even dare as fly over taiwan soil and that's the case then that is definitely rocking up tensions. and maybe you leading to some kind of conflict because every time china's sense those planes over it, even if it isn't on time one aerospace, it's high ones, military scrambled their fighter jets to try and monitor the activity if not trying to st. await china from going any further. so you know, that kind of activity is being very closely watch militarily. in fact, taiwan says it's increase its level of military alertness and defending itself not only in its aerospace 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 . ah, you details of emerged about the killing of al qaeda's leader in afghanistan on sunday. i minoza watery was reportedly struck by to hell, find missiles while he was standing on a balcony in central cobble u. s. president job. i didn't approve the precision try and strike last week. after months of planning. official say no one else was killed or wounded in the attack. confirming the strike biden said justice had been delivered to the man who helped coordinate the 911 attacks which killed almost 3000 people. when i ended our military mission of kansas in 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 tears to seek to do us harm. cuz i made a promise to the american people that we continue to conduct effective counterterrorism operations in afghanistan and beyond. we've done just that. well, this is where that strike happened just shortly after dawn on sunday. it's at the heart of what was cobble and diplomatic district, a busy neighborhood, where there's several embassies, some suspended operations off the u. s. that coalition withdrew from afghanistan last year. while there is only lucky fee has more from the afghan capital koppel. we're here in the neighborhood where i'm and i was like, he was allegedly killed. and as you can see, this is a perfectly residential area. there's travel agency, there's grocery stores and things, all of the things that are leading to increasing worry among the us who feel that the car is a leader. we 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. bill conduct the drone strike on what they consider to be sovereign avalon territory. my gonna joins a slide from the white house and might tell us more about the american political reaction to the water is death. well, the political reaction has been overwhelmingly favorable. republicans and democrats alike have congratulated president biden, and the professionals described who carried out the attack of particular notice the reaction from the minority lead in the senate. mitch mcconnell, who once again praised those who carried out the action, but he also had a comment in terms the fact that president biden's decision to withdraw hoops from a gun is don, led directly to the fact that you've now got a bolstering of our interest within afghanistan, as well as other functions opposed to the united states. so although welcoming the

attack mcconnell making a very strong political point out of it, saying that by the made a mistake by withdraw us troops. but the administration itself argues completely the opposite. it says that the attack goes to show that regardless of that contentious withdrawal, it remains capable of protecting us national interests from afar and targeted assassinations, passive american foreign policy, mike, especially so called over the horizon taxes. and yes, indeed, it's not a formal policy such, but it has been continuously practiced. president obama was the one who really stepped up. the whole issue of drone strikes that was carried on by then president trump, who carried out a number of drone strikes. and now the bite and administration now, it is interesting in that a very senior government minister from the administration,

briette journalist. and he made very clear that before president biden took the decision to carry out this attack. there was a lot of legal work that went into it. lawyers were concentrated in terms of the constitution in terms of what or what the government can do. and the on that came back from the legal team that this was an acceptable action and not in any way against the legality of the us itself. so the bite in administration says that it did look at the legal ramifications. it was satisfied that essentially there were no legal ramifications, so it carried on and carried out the strike. obviously, this will interpret it very differently. but the whole issue of grown strength is now and the sharp focus again, given that it is something that the u. s. has practiced over many years. all right, thank you very much for the latest from the white house, mike hannah. without his era life from london still had on the program. another 2

months of peace in war torn yemen. a truce is extended hours before it was due to expire. us basketball for basketball sub brittney griner is back in court in russia . as the de countries discuss a possible prison as far as color, we got some warmer weather, pushing back into parts of western europe for a time. at the moment. the main feature you noticed is a mass of cloud rolling in the cross c, pretty shouts through the ireland. bothersome wet weather coming through here for a fact i suppose, some breezy weather as well. that wet weather will gradually make its way across c . on a way to see pushing into norway, showers long spells of rain coming in to west suite for a time northern past denmark, or to sing some of that where to weather. but it does dry up across southern parts in england wells, not too bad as we go on thru wednesday,

but we need the rain. having said that 27 celsius here, 35 celsius. the power says at warmer weather, coming through at war with war, grassy, not a little further east was as we go through thursday, 36 celsius there in berlin. and that is still somewhat to whether it's eastern parts, if you it for the south, and is generally fine, and dry. one or 2 showers, how into spain and portugal may be the chow to into italy. now live the showers, making the way across central africa. the easterly waves do quite nicely rolling off the ethiopian harness, pushing across sudan, south sedan. chad seems a big down pause, look at that little touch stormed. could bring some localized. wellington northern parts of nigeria on wednesday at what the weather makes his way little farther west for thursday. ah, but the 19th sixty's was a period of change around the world, including the middle east and north africa when we dreamed of the fair and

democratic society which we did for a revolution. the 1st of a 3 part series out as they were world, explore the regional events, people, and forces that shake the decade. i don't what our dreams were. many, we started with great dreams, but ended up with sad setback. the sixty's in the arab world. politics on al jazeera lou ah ah, welcome back. a look at the main stories are following now. us house beacon nancy pelosi as arrived in taiwan against the advice of her government. she's the highest ranking us official to visit the island in 25 years. china, which views taiwan is

a breakaway province, has warned that a visit is provocative and destabilizing says it will launch targeted military actions around the island with ahmed vehicle seeing patrolling across the strait, new details were merged about the killing of al qaeda's lead and afghanistan on sunday, i'm not watery, has was reportedly struck by 2 hellfire missiles while he was standing on the balcony of the house in central cobble. now yelman's warring parties have agreed to extend a 4 month truce for a further 2 months. just hours before was due to expire. united nations and void to yemen, said the truth between the government and the who feasible. now last until october, 2nd, the renewal announcement came hours after the amani delegation concluded 3 days of talks with the who the leadership in the capital son are alert. kristin salumi has more nist now from the united nation. tell us more about how this cease fire extension came about. kristen well, this is the 2nd 2 month extension since the truce was stirred 1st,

enacted back in april and that cease fire was the 1st such agreement since 2016. so this latest extension is certainly being welcomed by humanitarian groups and un officials, members of the security council at the same time, their calling for a renewed efforts to make a more lasting truce and of final political settlement to resolve outstanding issues there, it should be pointed out that as a result of this truce, violence decreased in yemen by 50 percent, nearly 50 percent. and just the 1st month, it allowed flights to come in and out of the country, some flights to come in and out of the country for the 1st time in a long time loud fuel to get into the country. and people who had been displaced to go back to their homes. but there are sticking points that remain and we haven't

seen too much progress on those since the initial truce was announced, namely roads coming in and out of ties and other areas that are still blocked of the united nations would certainly like to see more food and supplies and fuel getting in than are now more flights. taking off, they need to find an agreement to pay civil servants. so there is concern that these issues still need to be addressed. so welcome news that the agreement was reached and that the truce will be allowed to continue. but some i'm worrying signs as well. and also when it comes to those worrying science, save the children, or humanitarian organization notes, that violence has increased in the last month, particularly in the last week leading up to the deadline for that truce to expire. some 56 1000000000 casualty. sorry, 65 civilian casualties. many of them children. so there's worry about if they don't

wrap up these other issues and make some more progress, things could fall back again to where they were before. all right, thank you very much, kristen. selina, with all the latest from the nice nations iraqi politician withdrawal solder has reportedly told his supporters to withdraw from iraq's parliament and to continue with their protest outside. thousands of them stormed the complex in baghdad on saturday and had been occupying it since protesting against some of iraq's leaders . so there had called on iraq, his to joy, he considers a revolution. but his opponents of called the parliament takeover a coup with counter protest. also held in the city and restful as months of political stalemate, which has prevented the creation of a new government. does. the jabari was speaking to, some of the protest is inside the parliament in bagdad, confusion and chaos. as these demonstrators have been told, they have another 72 hours evacuate this building for many of whom we spoke to say

a resolution to this ongoing political crisis? what is clear is that the situation continues to be as unpredictable and tense as it has been over the past few days. a funeral has been held for a palestinian teenager killed in jeanine in the occupied westbank. 17 year old daughter, co freeney was shot dead on monday during violence, with israeli forces of the nil daily rides across the occupied west bank. in recent weeks, a local leader of the palestinian islamic jihad group was arrested during the late night. right on monday. first congo ship to leave ukraine since rush are invaded, more than 5 months ago has been cited off the coast of turkey to expect it to dock there for inspection on wednesday before then heading to lebanon vessel, which is kind tons of grain is being monitored by the joint coordination center in istanbul, turkish, russian, ukraine, and, and united nation star for all there. as part of a deal signed last month, the ship left the ukrainian ports of odessa on monday. wall are expected,
