shutoff access to social media. ah, iraqi. she alida mac tied your i'll saw the recalls the early elections and says his support, his will continue. that parliament protest ah, hello i, mariam, noisy and london. you're watching al jazeera, also coming up on the program. now more than ever, america's solidarity with tom i want is to show you as how speak and nancy pelosi lease taiwan after receiving one of its highest honors. while china shows his anger, it's her visit with a burst of military activity around the island. it claims as its own, rushes,

foreign minister visits me and march to reaffirm moscow support for the genta. as asked the and discuss is how to stop the violence that i'm president joe biden signs an executive order on abortions. a day off to kansas resoundingly voted to protect abortion access. ah, hello and welcome to the program. we begin in iraq, where the influential lead among toddress solder is demanding, the parliament be dissolved and early elections held. he's also rejected any dialogue with the government. sanders televised address is the 1st since hundreds of his support has torn the parliament building on saturday, protest as a still occupying the complex and south or urge them to continue with their sitting until the demands and mat saunders blocked one the most seats in iraq's elections last year,

but political deadlock has left the country without an elected government since then. been many loud eagle who all i am not willing to engage in dialogue. we have just to dialogue with them before and good, nothing. i but corruption and harper, despite their empty promises and gestures, promises have not been fulfilled by i will not approve of bloodshed, but to reform could not be achieved without sacrifice. dosa jabari joins us now from baghdad. and also the expectation had been that they would eventually have to be some sort of negotiated agreement on this, but did mc todd or else other completely rover out tonight. certainly, mariam, they share leader, very defiant, and determined and standing his ground. he put to rest all speculation that were ongoing here over the past few days, that there was a lot of behind the scenes meetings taking place and that eventually he would join a dialogue process. but certainly that is not going to happen. as he said,

what is critical now is whether or not the various other factions within the government will accept his call. and there is no really functioning government at the moment after the elections that were held last october. since look further, all souther instructed his m p, 's, 73 of them to withdraw in june. the country has been in limbo. so the question now is whether the other sides will accept the fact that there should be another election help. the next process that will come is the speaker of parliament would have to basically dissolve parliament. and then they will have to announce new elections. it is unclear what the other side that will be involved in this. i will have to say in the coming hours, we'll have to wait and see, but certainly most other us, other standing his ground urging these protesters to continue. what he calls is a peaceful rather revolution that will eventually hopefully get their demands met. and how is this political crisis affecting iraqis?

well, in a country that's already suffering a lot in terms of infrastructure and much needed and rebuilding, the current government hasn't been formed. that means there hasn't been a new budget for the year. 2022, which means all the oil revenues that has been pouring into the country are not being spent. iraq is, of course, opec 2nd largest producer of oil. they produced 4.5, roughly 1000000000 a 1000000 barrels of oil. and they have a oil revenues of about $11000000000.00 a month. they just broke record sales in june at the highest number, sales in oil revenues in the countries 50 or history. they sold roughly $11600000000.00 of oil. and they haven't been able to really reap the benefits, the ordinary iraqis we've been speaking to say they are tired of all these politicians and they're back and forth and their divisions. they just want to see

their country back on its feet and the infrastructure to be funded properly, so they can get on with their daily lives. thank you very much. with the latest from bank that goes to jabari. aah! taiwan is scramble jets to warn off $27.00 chinese aircrafts in its defense zone. shortly after you asked how speak and nancy pelosi ended her controversial visit to the island. america's 3rd most powerful politician was there for less than a day. stressing washington support for the self rural territory. in response, china's military says that from thursday to conduct a series of drills in 6 exclusions owns that surround taiwan. 3 of designs overlap areas. taiwan says of part of its territorial waters. the drills will include long range, live ammunition, shooting in the taiwan straits and china is warned all vessels to avoid the area

aggression against democratic taiwan would have a tremendous impact on the security of the entire into pacific. the men facing deliberately heightened to military threats. ta one will not back down. we will firm yup, hold our nation sovereignty and continue to hold the line of defense for democracy . china, which considers taiwan a part of its territory, has said it once a peaceful, re unification and views, policies visit as a direct provocation with her on the tie. one sighing wayne and her ilk a clinging to 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 tie one 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. even during policies visit china's reaction was fast and furious. suspending imports and exports of several goods to

and from taiwan, conducting joint air and sea live ammunition drills near taiwan. and summoning the u. s. ambassador in beijing pelosi strip has come to an end. but with chinese american relations at such a low point, it's not clear yet what the long term repercussions of this visit will be manageable as it which i know his hold has some imports from taiwan, including citrus fruits and fish. in retaliation, her nancy pelosi visits by genius often targeted taiwan agricultural industry for punishment over political issues. will move prompted some export work as to condemn the visit o gabriela. it is a more tang. china has already announced some trading bands with us, which mostly impacts low income people. there are already a lot of farmers saying they've been banned from exporting to china, and that they're angry at the taiwanese government so far off to pelosi coming here . we haven't seen any advantages, patrick. fuck is

but also importantly to show that america stands with taiwan in the face of increased assertiveness. so 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 taiwan. and we have seen a little bit of that already since her arrival in, so i pay the big question as a whether this will continue and how long fall now rush is 4 minutes to survey another office reaffirmed rushes support than me and most military government. jane visit the capital name pill washer is a key supporter in on supplier to me in laws regime, which came to power in a cool in february last year. lever of his holding talks with the military gentle to discuss security and economic issues before heading to the afghans summit in cambodia. me and my was not invited to this summit because of the violence that

a nancy pelosi has ended our controversial visit to taiwan china, which had strongly warned against the trip is now started military maneuvers around the island. and russia's foreign minister is reaffirm moscow support from me and was military government during a visit to the capital naperville target number of next heads to the assay on summit in cambodia where anger is growing at the gent, his actions now talks to revive the 2015 iran nuclear deal due to resume in vienna on thursday after months of stalemate. vote, the u. s. says that its expectations are in check. the u. s. special envoy for iran . robert miley is on his way to the austrian capital for the discussions that are on in washington have been holding into right negotiations. and until now to try and revive the deal, which broke down in 2018. when america pulled out. iran says it's ready to reach a deal that guarantees its rights. or mohammed mirandi is advisor to the iranian

delegation in vienna and says, the energy crisis is left western powers in a week negotiating position. there are a number of issues. one is the crisis in europe and the high energy prices that the world is facing, the americans and europeans, desperately need more fuel and lower prices. there's also the fact that the russians and chinese have been improving their relations with iran, and iran has been improving its relations with both the europe, europe, and the united states on the relative decline. whereas non western countries, such as iran, china, russia on the rise. and if the europeans and americans waste more time, it's not going to be to their benefit, especially with the fries coming this winter. so the iranians, as they negotiated in good faith in 2015 and also a few months ago, they're willing to have a deal. they're willing to restart the nuclear deal, but the americans have to accept that day because of the violations that they

committed in the past that they have to give you run the necessary assurances so that the iranians are not fooled again by the americans at the romance are not harmed again by some mac, some southern policy change in washington. you as president joe biden assigned to an executive order, instructing his health and human services secretary to help patients who have to travel out of state in order to receive a legal abortion. states will be able to apply for waivers to treat patients from parts of the u. s. were access to the procedure has been banned or limited. it's the president 2nd executive order on reproductive al. since the u. s. supreme court overturn roe the wade in june revoking constitutional protections for abortion access. signing was part of the 1st meeting of the vice president's task force of reproductive health care access. and it comes

a day after the conservative state of kansas voted resoundingly to preserve abortion rights. the midwest, 8 rejected changes to the states constitution in the 1st referendum on abortion rights. since the supreme court overturned constitutional protections surrounding states including ar, arkansas, missouri, oklahoma, and texas or at trigger bands and they came to effect shortly after roe, the wade was struck down, leaving kansas as safe haven for abortion rights. a band in wyoming has been temporarily blocked by a judge, but as expected to come into effect soon. and iowa, as you to bring in a 6 week band that was ruled unconstitutional in 2018. there's actually no name reports. this time, the tears among pro abortion rights advocates were of joy. kansas voters provided their 1st victory. since the u. s. supreme court overturned federal protections for abortions. in due a collection of voters political, the spectrum came together today and voted no. they voted no to protect their

neighbors. they voted no and changing the constitution. i'm in really demonstrated are free series here in kansas are alive along motor squashed to proposed amendment to the kansas state constitution. that would have overturned a 2019 decision declaring access to abortion. is a fundamental right if abortion rights are, are, are, are protected here in kansas. and again, republican leading state, i think that that indicates that there is a big in the states. others trigger was probably are out of stuck with what their electric watch. the kansas decision will have a regional impact. the nearby states of texas, oklahoma, and missouri now have bands on abortion, which means women will have to travel elsewhere to get one. it is unclear what the next move will be for abortion opponents in kansas. we have to rein in the supreme

court's imposing their opinion and making up a constitutional right to abortion in our constitution, which isn't there. voters across america will continue to weigh in at the state ballot box. in the next few months, people in california, kentucky and vermont will decide if women should have access to an abortion in their state. natasha game l to 0. like henry's life at the white house, 2 major developments on this issue might festival. what keys tell us about biden's new executive order? well, it's a follow up to the executive order that he passed last month. and it's more of a directive than an order, instructing the secretary of health to examine ways in which the rights of women can be protected. when in particular, they are crossing state lines to seek medical health including abortion. but also while signing this particular executive order, the president also introduced his task force this meeting virtually for the 1st

time. now this is a significant development too because it's bringing all branches of the vital administration into exploring ways in which the rights that were afforded under roe v wade can be restored on a federal basis. we heard from the secretary of health from the attorney general from the vice president. so certainly this is a multi pronged approach in the bite of administration to examine ways in which these rights can be restored federally and ways in which to protect women. while they. 1 doing so and how important is this surprise result in kansas? well, it was something of a surprise result given the conservative nature of that state. and also given the extent of the when. so this is significant because it signals that the whole issue of abortion and anti abortion and pro abortion is going to be

a major factor in the mid term elections. now the bite in administration has been pointing to this precedent by and said repeatedly that those who upset the supreme court striking down roe v wade moscow and express that discontent at the ballot box come the mid term elections. so this is going to be a significant factor in the mid term elections. given the result that we saw in kansas, where in a largely conservative republican state, you had a results such as this in favor of pro choice. so this as well, it appears has gulf lies democrats within the state as well to go and vote in this particular referendum. and that is a pattern that president by into certain to see through the country as a whole. democrats, enraged by the supreme court decision, going to the polls in huge numbers, supported perhaps by some republicans who i am good at that decision by the supreme court. thank you very much all and a session. whitehouse. mike, hannah,

energy crisis on the back of the borders to people and communities. and that the massive cost to the climates, the combined profits of the largest energy companies in the 1st quarter of vizier, are close to $100000000000.00 us dollars. i urge all governments to fix these excessive profits and use the funds to support the most vulnerable people. so abused difficult volumes for french energy giant adf is wanting, or have to reduce output from some of its nuclear power stations. because hot weather is driving up river temperatures, making it harder to cool the reactors frances, experiencing its 2nd heat wave of the year with temperatures expected to get 40 degrees in some areas. in paris, the authorities revising people to moderate our water consumption because a major dry spell, it's expected that the temperatures will begin to fall from thursday. on our volcano erupted in iceland southwest at the capitol, reykjavik, it's the 1st time.
