ill tell square is in the house to work hard to tripling the 19th century architecture in a state of neglect, to law taurus, whether for an ali bernice expert, get the author. or if you have done nothing to preserve the historical monuments and bring life back to this place, tripoli is considered the 2nd most are to logically important city programs look empire after the egyptian capital cairo, the month story loss is among some of the structures remaining from the remnants from other areas as well are found here. the triple is history is overshadowed by a turbulent recent past and a grim reality. ah, us how speak and nancy pelosi enter controversial visit to taiwan. ah,

if it's, i'll just cerebral costing life and i'm carry jones also coming up. china reacts to places visit with anger, say it will conduct a target to the military actions around taiwan. ukraine's 1st screen shipment since the russian invasion has been inspected and it's done. who and it's ready for the next port. why kenya's presidential candidates could struggle to win the attention and votes of young people? ah, america said most powerful politician has ended her controversial visit to taiwan. china had strongly warned against the trip and is now begun mid street maneuvers around the island. how speak a nancy pelosi was in taiwan for less than a de stressing washington support for the self real territory. she's the 1st senior us official to is it more than 25 years lows?

it now head to south korea as part of her asia, tor. earlier she met present sign in when after visiting the parliament in taipei, she repeated washington's commitment to protect democracy on the self. government are respecting beijing so called one china policy. ty, ones that lead a gave policy, one of the highest civilian honors, and promised to defend the island from beijing's threats. today the world states is the choice between democracy and autocracy. americans determination to preserve democracy here in taiwan and around the world remains iron clad. it's really clear that while china has stood in the way of taiwan participating and going to certain meetings that they understand, that they will not stand in the way of people coming to taiwan. since however, if aggression against democratic taiwan would have

a tremendous impact on the security of the entire indo, pacific e in facing deliberately heightened to military threats, tar one will not back down. we will firmly uphold our nation sovereignty and continue to hold the line of defense for democracy. while a furious china has responded by suspending imports and exports of several goods 2 in from taiwan and soon after closes arrival the chinese and military conducted joint aaron c. live ammunition drills near taiwan. the government has summoned the u. s. ambassador in beijing. churches church hold hold. note, this is an out and out farce. the united states is violating chinese sovereignty under the guise of so called democracy, ty, one sighing when and her ill a clinging to the us, and turning their backs on national justice. these behaviors that go against the trend of times will not change the international consensus of one china and will not change the historic trend that taiwan will inevitably return to the motherland

. those who play with fire will not come to a good end. and those who offend china will be punished until yoga pollen is the international editor of taiwan plus. she joins us on skype from a type. a thanks for being with us. here again, we understand china has started some military maneuvers around taiwan. how concern should the tylenol, taiwanese, i should say, that leadership be about this? that's right, this is a pre cursor to the live bar military drill that the plans are on taiwan. water is now while china usually dot do maneuvers and drills whenever a high level delegates comes to tie one, especially if they're from a country senior. can i apply one china you visit? does this fostering and i, one is quite used to that, but this time it seems to have escalated china laying out plans of quite aggressive

maneuvers around this pie one main island. and some of that even just 20 kilometers away from the land. and one of the key ports in fly one, which we haven't really seen in recent times. so there are 2 main, the trains of thought when it comes to that, there are those that believe that, you know, this is china ramping up the aggression because they're incredibly displeased with hello, she's visit. and the fact that us is giving so much creative tie one and there are, those are also believe that no one was away. sorry. china was always going to increase pressure. they've always been ramping up that kind of rhetoric and pressure again. so i was saying that it's good to take it back at some point by peaceful means or by any other reason, way to reunify, probably one with china because trying to set aside one is part of its territory. so be watched very cautiously here with some believing that the u. s. is actually giving, i want to just not see and it's showing that it will support tie one, no matter what and others feeling. but this is one in

a very awkward position. okay. do you feel good parlor now? international editor of taiwan plus, thanks very much indeed. now, apart from military drills, china has imposed restrictions on trade with taiwan following close his visit. china is taiwanda biggest trading partner. it accounts for more than 328000000000 dollars last year. it has suspended the export of natural sand, which will have a significant impact on the construction industry. most of taiwan, sand and gravel inputs come from china. beijing has also blocked imports of citrus fruit, some fish and other food products from more than 100 time when these suppliers about your fuck, his jonas based in beijing. he says, china doesn't want to appear weak in the face of those is visit for there was vol, fiery rhetoric from the foreign ministry and beijing. today's 1st person watch and being saying that when the one china principal is being undermined than that will

be fis storms and thunder clouds in the taiwan straits. he also addressed criticism over this increased military activity around. so i wan, same that china had made itself clear to the u. s, but when the u. s. does not listen, the need to use ways to make it listen that china's acting in self defense you know, part of the reason why all of this is happening is because the u. s. or members of congress at least included the house mika, don't want to be backing down to chinese aggression and nancy pelosi today. she said that this visit was about deepening the friendship between washington and saw one, but also importantly to show that america stands with taiwan in the face of increased assertiveness of from beijing. ironically, there are concerns. some people will say that this could lead to further military aggression and more regular military aggression from china against ty juan. and we

have seen a little bit of that already since her arrival in taipei. the big question is a, whether this will continue and how long fall russian foreign minister searcy leverage says russia is standing by its or like china in condemning nancy pelosi visit to taiwan. go certainly do. so. do you still hear me? i have no doubt that this reflects the same line we've been talking about regarding the ukranian situation. it is a desire to prove to everyone there impunity and to exercise permissive. notice i do what i want, something like that. i see no other reason to create such an annoyance, almost out of the blue. knowing very well what it means for the people's republic of china. oliver off made those remarks in men mar, where he's on an official visit. moscow is port of me and mas, military government. that rove is holding talks with the minutes region. so to discuss security and economic issues. before traveling to the san summit in

cambodia, funny chang has more from bangkok on lab robes visit to me and said, a lover of rushes. foreign minister arrived in me amongst capital navy door on wednesday for talks with his counterpart. and he asserted that the relationship between mamma and russia was strong. there's a relationship that has got stronger since last year's military coup, which has seen high level delegations passing between mamma and russia, including the defense minister, be invited to man mos on forces day as the guest of honor. mamma has also seen in russia a seller of arms and weapons, including high powered jets, which it's using to fight against insurgents and rebels that oppose its rule. not only in the board areas, but also in central men. but it's a difficult time for me and my foreign me to ministers. shem asha and have been

meeting in the cambodian capital non pen of issued statements suggesting the rejection of their 5 point piece plan to try and bring and mom back into the fold with the execution of 4 political prisons. a couple of weeks ago is unacceptable. this elaborate will be visiting with non pen later in the week, may be in the rather strange position of carrying a message from your mas generals to their neighbors. a foreign minister across se asia are already gathered in number 10 for the sea and summit us secretary of state antony blinking will also attend and security concerns on top of the agenda. those include tensions about taiwan and the crisis in me and mom with a minute she joined to executed for anti coo activists last month. competition, you're up to my took the tip kimberlia as well as all as the member states is deeply disappointed and disturbed by the execution of those opposition. activists

that might be appealed from me and others for the death sentence to be reconsidered for the sake of political dialogue, peace and reconciliation. but if more prisoners ought to be executed, will be forced to rethink the role of a 5 point consensus of florence leery has more from non pen where the summit is taking place here in the cambodian capital, foreign ministers from south east asian countries will meet in the next few days, they'll be joined by top leaders from the us, china, russia, and other countries were series of meeting. now given rising tensions over us, how big nancy pelosi visit to tie one back is expected to be top of the agenda. us secretary of faith, antony blink, and chinese foreign minister, one you will both be here at the global times, often seen as a chinese communist party mouthpiece has reported that one. he has no plans to meet with anthony blinking on the sidelines of planned summit here. and some chinese

analysts say this could be intended to send a message to underscore just how angry the chinese government is over the visit. off hand spokesman, who's also embodies deputy foreign minister, says ministers at the meeting here will be expected or are hoping to use the platform to try and come rising tension on time. one won't be the only issue on the agenda, myanmar will be to, especially given the 5 point piece plan that was agreed to biology and last year and agreed to by the student is not only not working, but it's clearly been ignored by the military, june time which is not only stepped up military responds in parts of the country, but has also recently executed for activists, an antique who opponents, one of them and elected member of parliament now global tensions of the war. and ukraine is also going to be on the agenda, especially given representatives from russia and the u. s. are going to be here. well, meanwhile, more than 5000 indonesian u. s. and other troops are holding

a joint military training exercise until august. the 14th, the annual drill is expected to be the biggest, yet i will include 14 countries. they've been held every year since 2009. the u. s . on it's asian allies have expressed growing concern about china's increasing influence in the pacific. washington says the drills aren't aim that any country. jessica washington is in butter budget with more. these are the largest exercises. this is the largest iteration of this gertrude. a shield that we've ever seen. these exercises have been held since the early 2, thousands and in their early stages. they were really just a bilateral exercise. now we are seeing perhaps a move towards as many lateralism involving other countries, not just as observers, but as participants as well, significantly, a, quite a few milestones at this august. as this training begins here in indonesia, we have more than 5000 personnel participating. the majority from indonesia and

from the u. s. significantly the australian army participating for the 1st time japan participating for the 1st time and also a number of countries at least 13 observing and in some capacity that includes france, canada and, and also include some of indonesians, smaller neighbors including tim or less, a, or east timor and popping your guinea as well. and the reason it is significant to note those observers is that last year at that time it was the, the largest iteration of these router shield exercises. last year. japan was an observer. now they have gone on to become a full participant in these exercising exercises early today. they participated in some power trooping training just held here in san sumatra. so of course, at this iteration of garrett, a shield is being called super gruder shield because it is so much larger than exercises that have been held in the past. earlier today at the opening her ceremony, we heard from general charles flinn, who noted that these exercises are taking place place in the most consequential

region at the most consequential time. and while this might be the super grid us shield, they hope that next he has versions or future future iterations may be even more significant. so the head here on al jazeera, the truce in yemen, is extended by agency, say the death toll is still rising. voters in the us state of kansas, reject a change and would have made it more difficult to get an abortion. ah, the journey has begun. the faithful world cup is on its way to cattle. brook your travel package to day. hello, we got some rather nasty weather in the forecast for japan over the next day or so . we have the remnants of our old tropical systems moving through the sea of japan as arizona pressure. that's the combination of our recent storm springs. some

reminder of our pop stories now here on us how speak and nancy pelosi has left taiwan after a visit denounced by china, she repeated washington's commitment to protect democracy on the self governing island, which beijing considers cause of its territory. china has conducted live at 5 minutes to drills around taiwan in retaliation for closes, visit the time, and the defense ministry says the exercises of violated on an sovereignty and breached un moves hop, southeast asian diplomat. so meeting income period for the a. c, in summit security concerns on top of the agenda. those include the crisis and me enough intention about 21 not inspection of the 1st grain cargo ship to leave ukraine. since the russian invasion has been completed of the coast of turkey, a team board, the need to carry out checks before the vessel has to lebanon. the ship is being

monitored by the new joint coordination center in assemble. so kayesha russian, ukrainian and you and stuff are taking part under a deal signed last month. most of them are crystal, you joins us lie from a standstill so soon. and what's the very latest? you can tell us about this great shipment carry just seconds. they go the ship, the red zone a say start to the sale of it turned on its engine. i don't know whether you can see it behind me, but it was just making it turn and entering. it stumbled boss for a straight. so, literally it's journey to lebanon. it has already begun, and within a, within 2 days, or maximum 3, i read zone is expected to be triple ports. in lebanon, is fixtures. it checked out whether the documents and the products are in line with the agreement that was signed by the a, by russia, ukraine, turkey,

and the united nations last month. and the inspection took actually less than expected. and now rezone sailing gulf of towards lebanon. it is seen as an historical moment for the joint control center. and it's, it has been a huge responsibility as their members have been telling us for the last last of one week, a. but according to a ukrainian president followed the mares that lensky ed. this is nothing because there are more than 28008008 1000000 tons of a grain stuck in ukraine, and add the in a, in a, in an economy that is in coma. and this is nothing. now, there are hundreds of vessels that needs to it, follow the same route and same method to depart from ukraine carrying ukrainian, a grain and fertilizer, and bringing them into the world of markets. of course,

the safety of the journey has been very important so far. the 1st commercial vessel rezone face, it didn't face any problem as far as we know were, and many hoped that a, the success of this deal, the success of this journey, can lead to a cease fire between ukraine and russia. but of course time will tell that because of the war has been ongoing for a 5 months. and this is probably the is only a positive movement between the 2 countries are okay with the business name, chris, are you. thank you for that update. now jim and john on the shoulder has said there's no technical reason a turbine for the north stream on pipeline that's in germany, can't be moved to russia. sholtes made the comments during a visit to the seamans energy site in western germany. the turbine is being stored there after repairs in canada. he blamed russia for the delay that's contributing to gas supply shortages in europe. last month's thrushes,

gas from significantly reduced flows through the pipeline, fighting a problem with a turbine. vicious is not so much of what is important to me is to make it clear that this turbine can be used at any time. there is nothing to prevent its transport to russia, except that the russian buyers must inform us that they also want the turbine. the buyers must provide the necessary information for customs transferred to russia and iraq's influential share lead them up to the father has told his supporters to leave parliament and continue their protest. outside. thousands of them stormed the building in bagdad on saturday. had called on all iraq used to join what he calls a revolution, but his opponents say it's a qu down rest for those months of political deadlock which has prevented the formation of a new government. now yelman's warring policies have agreed to extend a full month truce for another 2 months just hours before it was due to expire. you

an invoice to yemen. this said the pact between the government and who the rebels will now last until october, the 2nd, the downstream to came hours off to an amani delegation concluded 3 days of talks with the with the leadership kristen salumi has more miss not from the united nations. the 2 month extension of yemen truce is being welcomed by members of the un security council and the humanitarian community who point out the positive impact it's had since it was 1st adopted back in april, reducing the number of casualties the longest period of commons, 7 years and i had other positive impacts as well, allowing fuel to get into the country and displays people to return to their homes . but there are sticking points that remain. they want to get more supplies into the country and they need to work out how to pay civil servants. and one major sticking point has been reopening roads, particularly around the city of ties which is controlled primarily by the

government. but who the aligned 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, us. 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. extension of the truce in yemen has been widely welcomed. for many families say they're still waiting to feel the benefits of the it. cut out that those are the on has more on the streets of humans, capital santa. there is both hope and skepticism. the 2 month extension of

a un brokerage truth comes as a relief, but many say the benefits of the agreement have yet to reach most people across the country quickly to log daniel, extending the truth should lead to peace. but we're still waiting for summaries to be paid on for the integration of the central bank and national currency. people are suffering a truce like the previous one isn't away, useless because there is no war, but there's also no peace. with the extension, the focus now turns to expanding the terms of the troops that alum and the i let the good on. the bernoulli infrastructure has been completely destroyed, both civilian and military. there is nothing left daddy. so when a settlement of the people of yemen have the right to benefit from it, starting from humanitarian aid, health and education, and everything has been effected. this medical center is a painful reminder of the conflict and its victims. for months the truth has led to less violence, but for many,

the damage has already been done. fighting between the saudi, let coalition and who the fighters have scored the country and its people a shower that many or even a law. we want the truth to remove this dark period from our lives. the siege to be over for salaries to be paid. we want peace promises of cease fires, have repeatedly been broken in yemen. there is hope repeated truce extensions will bring them closer to a permanent p steel parts yellow piece of the yen al jazeera. that's no week before kenya's general election. there's grown concern about the low number of young people registered to vote. many are disillusioned with politics and are struggling to make a living. catherine, sorry reports from nairobi. canyons in nairobi, industrial area are rushing to be evening rush hour. a majority of them are casual laborers looking for jobs. some left early in the morning. many will walk home
