you have you have been on a rise on just 0. ah, al jazeera ah, ah ah, how speaker nancy? nancy pelosi is in taiwan and is choose to meet the president and visit parliament . the us traces it's not supporting. taiwanese independence. china has reacted with fury to her visit, saying it's planning targeted military actions around taiwan. ah, until mccrae, this is al jazeera alive from. also coming up the warring factions and given extend

to truth just hours before it was due to expire. the you in welcome to the move, but agency say the death toll continues to rise. the 1st ship carrying crying from ukraine since school began with russia arrived off a stand bowl with hopes the you in broken deal will help ease the global food supply crisis. ah, the speaker of the us house of representatives, nancy pelosi is in taiwan, despite warnings of severe consequences from china. pelosi says us support for taiwan. this democracy is unwavering. but beijing considered the island part of its territory. in response has bound to launch what it calls targeted military actions around the island. sharp returns, the reports from washington, d. c. after days of expectation, nancy pelosi landed in taiwan the 1st time

a u. s. how speak has built that type paying 25 years. at the airport, she was greeted by taiwan foreign minister and stuff from the american institute in taiwan, the de facto u. s. embassy anti pe hi pace tools building also proclaimed its welcome. soon after her arrival, pelosi tweeted that her visit was part of an ongoing effort to support democracy against autocracy. comparing it to a trip to ukraine in april. but also after she touched down, there was swift condemnation from beijing. alan announcement that live ammunition drills would take place surrounding tie, one of the white house national security spokesperson, john kirby emphasize as the house for several days. there's been no change in policy. the u. s. does not support taiwanese independence and speaker pelosi was acting in our own capacity. united states will not and does not will not seek and does not want a crisis. we are prepared to manage wellbeing chooses to do. at the same time,

we will not engage in saber rattling, however, some analysts say the beijing will not be reassured by such statements. instead, suspecting that this visit is just the latest example of the biden administration, shipping away of the one china policy. i think china's concerns around taiwan is the us pursuing this, quote unquote salami slicing strategy and posing landing. and taiwan is a slab not a slice already. there have been multiple reports of hutton's military activity by the people's liberation army, or the white house as it expects. the main consequences of policies visit to unfold in the medium term. she advertise the al jazeera washington. rosalind jordan jones joins us now from washington. d. c. i guess 1st of all, the relationship between china and the u. s. has been worsening, but how bad things likely to get after pelosi versus well,

it really depends on what the domestic political considerations are for shipping. and this is, according to of people who study the chinese political law body. there is this question of whether in the face of a slowing economy, as well as rising a house prizes and a scarcity of housing. that the chinese president is going to uh, find it usable, as it were to why, really judged, show some force towards high one without necessarily a annex ing it out to the chinese government properly. there's also the question of whether that could backfire. it's worth pointing out that nancy pelosi, who is the speaker of the house of representatives, is the 3rd in line in the line of succession in the u. s. government. so why is certainly nothing theoretically would happen, because that would be considered

a threat against the u. s government that said, it is also worth pointing out that she is the leader of a met, a body of the u. s. government that is independent. she does not necessarily have to listen to what the white house wants, even if the sitting president shares her political party. but however, there is a lot to be said for nancy pelosi is decision to go, because it is, in fact i read rendering a bit of bipartisanship. there are rob republicans and there are democrats who are applauding nancy policy for going to ty pay because of her a firm. an ongoing criticism of the chinese is a human rights record in a number of places into bad and sion john province. in other parts of the region as well. so whether or not the chinese want to in essence res nancy pelosi is profile even more than it already has been. really does come back to domestic political consideration. so is that really why on into pelosi,

when does it what she's getting out of this visit? that's specifically why she is there. and there also is a real sense here in washington that trying to more vocally support taiwan, which has been living under this existential threat. some would argue from being a retake and by i beijing, is a basically a political winner. there is this idea that child started 1st and the trumpet ministration, but has continued in to the biden administration. that china represents a fundamental challenge to western of values and moors and economic prowess for that matter. and so there's nothing to be lost from the was perspective of having the house of representatives speaker actually stand next to the taiwanese president and say that the american public is with taiwanda political hopes and dreams. now,

does this complicate things perhaps for the u. s. president joe biden, perhaps it does, and he was on a phone call in the past week with she's and paying, telling him that he wants a constructive relationship. he wasn't looking for any ratcheting up of tensions. but clearly we're talking about 2 countries that see each other as rivals. and so whether or not nancy policy made the trip. well, that's a moot point. she's on the ground now. indeed she is. thank you very much this rosalind jordan from washington d. same. we're going to go now to lawrence colbert, who is a senior fellow at the center for american progress, and a former u. s. navy captain, i thank you very much. are you joining us from washington, dc? it's visible is the response we have seen so far from china. what pelosi, taiwan and even the button administration is that what they would have anticipated or does this go much further? no, i think they would have anticipated this. they were hoping it wouldn't go much further

and chinese actually, you know, launching an attack on taiwan or over fly in the country or anything like that. so no, i think this is what you would expect. i mean, both sides have to come out of this ahead. we did not want to back off with, with congresswoman pelosi trip after the chinese complained about it goes out would have been perceived as weakness. on the other hand, a chinese salt want to say, well, we're just going to ignore the whole thing because as your previous call mentioned, they know that she's number 3 in line to be president of the united states. and she's the head of one of the 3 branches of government in our country. we've already seen that military response from china, but what could the economic and trade, i guess the full out looked like potentially. well, i mean the,

the interesting is that the chinese, the taiwan war in terms of trade and economics then by source of, i mean to taiwanese are great because with somebody, conductors who have one of the best in the world. and so if the chinese work to try and put sanctions on them, for example, a tray, it would hurt them. and if the chinese did, it would be more than made up by the united states and the other members of the of the quad in, in the pacific. what will make nancy pelosi trip worth it considering, i guess all of the fall out already, and she's only been on the ground a number of hours. well, i think what will make it is that we did not backed out in the face of chinese pressure. however, i think before she announced it publicly, she should appear insulted with the president and the military to make sure that it was appropriate at this time. because the chinese recognized that president biden

wasn't enthusiastic about the trip at all. and they worry about, you know, how strong a leader he might be, because if president, she said something, nobody in that country was going to go against it. do you see either side, really backing down or how can this be the escalated? can the heat be taken out of this without either side looking way cool, caving into the other and how did they go about doing that? well i think i'm basically speaker pelosi came, she will consult. she shot her picture taken with the, you know, the try when a presidential say all of these things. if you read her op ed today in the washington policy talk about will, this will tell what i will need will be there to protect you. if the chinese should be foolish enough to try it, you know, unify the country by a bought by force. and basically for the chinese,

it will show the steps that they've taken, that they're not going to just treat this as a simple visit. i mean, we've had congress, men and women visit taiwan over the last 30 years. thank you so much. lauren school for joining us on the show that lawrence called from washington d. c. thank you for having read for the us could soon be selling military hardware with $5000000000.00 to saudi arabia and the united arab emirates. the state department has approve the sale of patriot missiles and related equipment to saudi arabia and the deal value to about $3000000000.00. and the sale of just have a $2000000000.00 worth of a missile defense system for the u. r. e has also been given the go ahead. who gaiman's, warring parties have agreed to extend a full month's truce for 2 more months just hours before it was due to expire. the un invoice had given the station and hostilities between the government and who the

which is controlled primarily by the government. but who the align militia seem to be stopping access, getting in? so all of this comes also with some worrying signs in the country. the organization save the children, points out that the last week of july was one of the bloodiest in years, a total of some $65.00 civilian casualties. they were killed in that time. some $38.00 of them were children. so all of this is raising concerns and putting pressure on the process going forward. but the un special envoy for yemen. hans greenberg says that the parties have agreed to intensify their negotiations going forward in an attempt to reach a more permanent political solution. the us state department, his warnings and the killing of al qaeda leader. i'm an l. so are hardy, in, in american drones strike. my prompt group supporters to target us facilities and citizens. new details have emerged about the killing in afghanistan on sunday. so

of freeney was killed on monday, following violence with israeli forces. they have been near daily rides across the occupied with bank in recent weeks. britain has more now from ramallah. what we knew is that it's really forces have invaded janine and it's refugee camp. it's rare that these really forces can make it inside their pg camp itself. and usually we see armed input confrontations ensued between palestinian armed men. that's our estimated and the lower 100. you really forces these really with his have shot and killed 17 year old. the deer are really he was shot in the head according to the sources there. and also these really forces have quickly came inside and outside of the camp. but that arrested by he's a senior leader in the palestinian islamic jihad party. the party has said that it's told its members to raise their mirth. he's a senior leader,

and as you had to seeing, this is a provocation. but it's not it. let's not forget that he was living his daily life . he was someone who was in the junior cab, so it's can be seen as a big victory for israel, but indeed it's being seen here as a provocation. the death toll from flooding in the us state of kentucky has risen to 37 more than 400 residents have been in lifted from remote mountain communities over the past few days, but hundreds more are still on the counted for following some of the worst flooding in the states history where the conditions are continuing to have a risk you, if it's with more rain predicted fire cruise had found 2 bodies in a burned down car as they battled the largest wildfire in california. this year forensic investigators sifted through debris from the vehicle and collected the remains for identification. the mckinney fire near the states border with oregon broke out on friday. it's forced more than 2000 people to leave their homes.

a 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 an electric car, a commitment to the planet beyond the reach of many. 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 a national project. why aren't we doing the same? this time? we could think council's heat pump as wells into the ground and he whole neighbourhood is, but they 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 to the 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 produced the problem environmentalists or urging governments and big business to shoulder more responsibility than what we saw with covered. for instance, all over the world was it, if government certainly people were fantastically good 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. that 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 country's powerful financial sector in the transition to net 0 carbon emissions by 2050. while e u wide legislation, such as the decision to standardized 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 we branded as energy companies with a likes of shell promising to become fully net 0 within 30 years. this is oil giant, b p recorded it's biggest profit in 14 years on choosing or while energy bills. so there's no denying that environmental wheels are in motion, but as a summer of alarming weather continues for the scientists who've been warning about climate change for decades, it can happen sooner enough. people can al jazeera london will, despite more stable economic conditions in silence,

continue to flee the country in search of a better life. columbia. as migration authorities say, 2500000 people from venezuela now live in neighboring columbia. lasandra from p a. t has more from the border city of kuta 100 dusty hill surrounding cuckoo venezuela migrants have been building make shift neighborhoods as they struggled to make a living in columbia. a year after settling here with their family, catalina hayes, and her husband, i've not been able to find permanent jobs, but i like a letter from paying range has been very difficult. that's why i try to help sell the import, not us and coffee. but obviously, i don't make much 3 or $4.00 per day because the main entry point for millions have been swell and who have fled the countries ongoing economic and social crisis. columbia has implemented a number of welcoming policies, including a temporary protection status to help them access services, education,

informal job tiers. as the soup kitchen say, many migrant children continue to go hungry. so many, this is the only meal they get during the day. there is so much need and more keep coming. and the worst is that when they arrive, they don't have a place to sleep. and we're talking big family, 10 to 15 people. since the pandemic growing inflation and economic hardships in columbia convinced hundreds of thousands to return to venezuela last year. but the latest report published by the colombian government seems to suggest the opposite saying that just in 6 months, between september 2021. in february, 2020 to 34 percent more venezuelans have arrived, bringing the total number 22500000. with assistance of international donors, the regional government is quietly built a number of temporary shelters along the main migrate route,

providing basic health care meals and emergency protection. for the worst cases. civil officials say it's not enough and they need more financial assistance from donors where somebody think actually that is disposed important assistance by the national government. hospitals are again dealing with $30000000.00 in debt for assisting migrants. and we need new schools and teachers were worried, columbia has made a huge effort in it. it also requires a joint international assistance. some hope that the arrival of a new colombian government, promising to re establish relations and international trade with venezuela, will help offering much needed opportunities for venezuelans on both side of the border. allison that i'm p a d i just e r g until mccray with the
