1:02 am
a warm welcome in taiwan. this is its tallest building, type pay one i one which was used to display a message to the house beaker and her country. china and russia have warned us that policies visit is provocative and destabilizing by aging. views taiwan, as a breakaway province, says it will launch targeted military actions around the island. ahmed vehicles in patrolling the port city of young men across the straight before pelosi arrived in taipei badge and condemned condemned of is it as a serious violation of the one china principle, which is going to have a severe impact on diplomatic relations? the relationship between china and taiwan is complex. over the centuries, the island has been self administered, colonized by the netherlands and ruled 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 or established by mouth in 1971, the united nations that it would only recognize the p. r. c is representing china,
1:03 am
effectively expelling taiwan. subsequently, many countries including the u. s. and japan's which that diplomatic recognition from the r o c to the p r c. since then it's i in, when became taiwan president, a more countries of cot ties with it. and subsequently received chinese investment and loans. now, only 14 sovereign states have full diplomatic relations with taiwan. there mainly in the caribbean, central american and pacific olive nations, as well as the holy see. the white house is distanced itself from the visit, but to also stress that it does not violate the one china policy. shebra tansy has more reaction from that now in washington. messages this has nothing really necessarily do with us. nancy pelosi is, is the speaker of the house. it's a separate wing for the government and for the congress, not the executive. they have no say is a message in what pelosi does,
1:04 am
but they talk about the historic or precedents because newt gingrich, as well as we will reported, did visits under when bill clinton was was president. and they said, look, this is perfectly normal. doesn't suggest any if there's continuity, there is a suggestion, you know the speak of houses before and other speakers visiting, visiting now the us says it's retains and that's, that was in the end though, very much of these messages. there's been no change of policy. the u. s. does not support taiwanese independence. the one china policy is to the place. let me be clear. the speakers visit is totally consistent with our long standing one china policy. we've been very clear that nothing has changed about i want child policy, which is guided course by the taiwan relations act. 3 joint us p r. c communications. 6 assurances. we said that we oppose any unilateral changes to the status quo from either side. we said we do not support taiwan independence and we
1:05 am
did as i said again yesterday that we expect cross street 10 differences to be resolved by peaceful means. coby went on to say that the b u. s. does not seek a crisis. it will not engage in what it called sabre rattling it was pointed out though that the u. s. does currently have 4 warships now stationed in the region, but koby seem to scoff at that. there is that ambiguity actually as to when whatever response is being found by aging using the military, using the pap, potentially the supplement of the island in some way. when that will begin, so that, that is something that's gonna be really interesting to watch in the coming out. of course, china had threatened a military response and i've been reports of chinese jets crossing the taiwan strait ahead of nancy pelosi is arrival. so if you go, pardon, is the international editor of taiwan class and 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
1:06 am
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 are depends identification zone into bonafide tie one airspace then that will set a precedent and that will very clearly send a message. i mean, there are questions about whether they would even dare as fly over a tie, one soil, and that's the case then that's definitely rocking up tensions. and maybe you leading to some kind of conflict because every time china sense those planes over it, even if it isn't on time one air space, it's high ones. military scrambled there. fighter jets, to try and monitor the activity if not trying to st. await china from going any
1:07 am
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, usa appointment is one. the killing of all kind is lead a might prompt group supporters to target u. s. facilities or citizens. i mean, i was a while he was reportedly struck by to hell fine missiles while standing on a balcony in central campbell on sunday. he was joe biden improved the position, drawing straight 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

1:09 am
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 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 a still conducting drone strides on what they consider to be sovereign novel on territory or below. so worry is an afghan journalist who is forced to leave the country one the taliban took power again. he believes as little doubt and also watery was under the protection of some members of the taliban. to be honest with you, this is a major shaw. the fact of the feel safe in the heart of cobbled city knowing that the american intelligence and other western intelligence agencies not only had a presence in these areas, but the hard wealth of knowledge. and i would like to think an expensive network

1:27 am
environmentalist questioning, who should bear the baker, but when it comes to protecting the planets, the u. n. is unveiled its guidance for how individuals can do more than any barker reports from london. pressure is mounting on governments and big businesses to take greater responsibility in the hope of lasting change. so the hot water cylinder is in the, in the leafy london suburb, katherine mysteries invested heavily in tackling climate change on the roof, installing a solar panel on the roof of her home providing hot water in the summer months. they've also put extra installation upstairs, have chosen to pay more for renewable energy. oh, and they drive it electric car, a commitment to the planet beyond the reach of money. this really makes me angry because people don't have enough money to do this on their own. and even for us, it, you know, it's been a question of doing it in stages. and a 100 years ago they dug up the streets to put in gas pipes for everybody. it was
1:28 am
a national project. why aren't we doing the same? this time we could sink ground sauce heat pump, a wells into the ground and heat whole neighbourhood. but that just doesn't seem to be at joined up thinking. there's no denying that our lifestyles have an impact on the planet with private households grating around 2 thirds of global emissions with food, energy, and transport, contribution around 20 percent of lifestyle emissions. all of that, of course, means that what we do has an impact. i take the lead. united nations is so convinced of our ability to make a difference. it's launched a campaign called individual action with things we can do today, along with an app to monitor our environmental impact in the same way. we watch our health. but the high cost of some of these solutions, solar panels and electric cars, limit what individuals can do money from across this river that produce the problem . environmentalists are urging governments and big business to shoulda more
1:29 am
responsibility than what we saw with covered. for instance, all over the world was that if government certainly people were fantastically good at responding to it's not a problem with the people. it's very often a problem with the politicians who can't actually take their responsibility of crating their clear framework in which people know what's expected of them and can then do what's expected of them. the u. k. the government's promising to harness the countries powerful financial sector in the transition to net 0 carbon emissions by 2050. while e u wide legislation, such as the decision to standardize mobile charging ports, is underpinned by a need to come thousands of tons of e waste. and many of the big oil companies, and now re branded as energy companies with the likes of shell promising to become fully net 0 within 30 years. this is oil giant, b p recorded its biggest profit in 14 years on choosing or while energy bills. so
1:30 am
there's no denying that environmental wheels are in motion, but as a summer of alarming weather continues for the scientists who been warning about climate change for decades, it can't happen soon enough. me palka, al jazeera london as more everything we're covering right here, a round up of all of our top stories better, and also get life streaming access as well as their dot com. ah, let's just take another look at the main stories this our define warnings from china and against the advice of our own government. us how speak a nancy pelosi is in taiwan. she is the highest ranking american official to visit the territory in 25 years. the trip had not been bags 5 president joe biden pelosi says, our visit to honors the united states unwavering, quick commitment to supporting taiwanda vibrant democracy. she's express.
