mm. mm. this is al jazeera. ah, though i'm carrie johnson, this is an e. is our live from day coming up in the next 60 minutes? ah, china launch is its biggest ever military drills near taiwan. it says the us, at least to learn a lesson. how speak and nancy pelosi, mississippi, i, bank of england announces its biggest interest right hiking, 27 years predicts a recession for the u. k. by the end of the year, i may be honest and american basketball star, brittany griner is found guilty of drug possession in russia. and warnings, social media platforms in tenure, a spreading hate speech and this information head of next week selection. and are

you to send to the sport the nfl or pushing for a bigger punishment for the sean watson. but even brown's quarterback was given a 6 game suspension of allegations of sexual misconduct. but the league once in band for at least one year. ah, we begin with growing attentions between china and united states. the chinese ambassador to the un says he hopes us will draw a lesson from the situation in the taiwan strait. but beijing is now conducting live fire drills. while this show of military might comes just hours of the house speaker, nancy pelosi ended her controversial trip to ty, pay a visit. that infuriated china i on says that chinese naval ships and military aircraft have made several incursions into its territorial waters earlier. another senior chinese diplomat described closest trip as manic, irresponsible,

and irrational when a series of drills are focused in 6 exclude zones that surrounds taiwan, 3 of the zones overlap areas. it's high, one says are part of its territorial waters in some places, just 20 kilometers off shore. drills include long range live ammunition shooting into the taiwan strait. china has warned all vessels to avoid the area for 72 hours . nearly half the global container fleet passes through this waterway every year. or tony chang has more on the days developments a day after leaving tie bay us house speaker, nancy pelosi, but the speaker of south korea's national assembly. and so she appeared on bothered by the controversy sparked by her visit to taiwan and spoke warmly of the military and economic relationship between south korea and the united states. a relationship that began from urgency and security many years ago has become the warmest

of friendships. but pelosi left troubled waters in her wake. chinese military helicopters fly over the taiwan strait of pin 10 in southern china. at the start of life fire exercises that effectively surround the island. chinese state t. v. broadcast video of missiles far from the mainland into target areas close to territorial waters. taiwan claims as its own, with its pointed jets in the air in combined exercises designed to show china, is in complete control. caribbean mutual. the purpose is to assure that the people's liberation army is capable of controlling the taiwan island. a great to turn to towns, independent secessionist forces. none the less, china's foreign ministry blamed escalating tensions firmly on the united states. you are to deal good. yeah. if these countries really cared about peace and stability in the taiwan strait,

they should have persuaded the united states not to engage in dangerous, reckless and irresponsible provocations against china. before policies visit to taiwan, they pretended to be deaf and silent, but now they jumped out to criticize china's just actions exposing their hypocrisy and ugliness. china's life fire exercises are expected to continue for the next few days. possibly, even until early next week. by that time, nancy pelosi will be back in the united states, but the impact of her visit to taiwan will be felt here for some time to come. tony ching al jazeera or kristen salumi joins us now from the united nations and kristin, i understand you been speaking with the chinese ambassador to the un. what did he tell you? yes, ambassador zang june stopped to speak with me on his way into the security council chambers. i asked him about the latest action happening in taiwan waters around

taiwan. ah, he said this was very clearly done to send a message to the united states that taiwan is part of china and the united states should do nothing to support taiwanese independence. i pressed him about missiles landing in japan's waters, the exclusive economic zone, and whether or not that was appropriate. and he said indeed it was a legitimate response to a house speaker. nancy pelosi is visit. here's what he said. we hope that the united states will draw a lesson from such a situation that nearly they should all know their commitment on the one china principal and not to support any timeline independence attempts. we hope they will stop doing. i'm the st further under my and in china. solvent in territory,

interpreted that i think the message is where i live. and kristen does the un have any response tool, this increasing tension in the strict there's been no official response, certainly not to these latest actions on the part of china. the secretary general was asked about rising tensions in the region on wednesday, and he was very careful not to take sides on the issue. he pointed to the fact that the official policy of the un has been to recognize the one china policy since 1971. and he pretty much left it at that. and because of that, one china policy here at the u. n that taiwan is not represented in the general assembly here. and in terms of the security council, it's possible that the united states could ask for a meeting to discuss what's happening,

but it would probably be behind closed doors. it's unlikely that we'll see any kind of open meeting on the subject, especially now with china holding the presidency this month. kristen salumi ya live for us at the united nations. thank you for that update. we're going to stay with this now and that sitteth akasha is at c power research fellow at the rural united services institute. he's in london and joins us live now. thanks for being on the program. so despite the military drills we're seeing now, to what extent do you think china, in reality would want to avoid any kind of direct crash? yeah, it's likely that china does want for direct clash. i want something which would necessarily involve risk to the class. because elaine is still is by the scribes, it's made over the stack in force in transition to the 21st century. i think what's

on when brings on us. and because, you know, china hasn't domestic concerns, not least for the fall out to, for example, president the recruitment of the so it's likely that this is more co signalling preparation for a clash. i mean, the region has some of the biggest shipping lanes in the world, doesn't it? how worrying is this economically for countries looking on? i mean, the, so the way the exclusions on current fee or best try and ask the overlap with shipping rad. nothing necessarily suggest that the occurrence of the things necessarily includes shipping in and around one. but what it will do is force vessels to conduct long detroit, and that obviously will reflect the, on their own things like fuel consumption and prices. but more importantly, if size is 990 any in the you know, the size is produced a panic in the time when we have kids and

a momentary capital lighter. similar exercises conducted close to 1900 things that have a similar effect. when indeed, how much of this echoes the crisis back in the mid ninety's when the van taiwanese president visited the us. yeah. and that there is stronger echo. so the 96 crisis, you know, just that, just as china's leaders, today's bread that the u. s. is doing a b one china policy, the administration of 996 similarly so aggressively thing waves the u. s. at the latest in a series of steps, things like on sales. i received it at the latest in a series of steps designed to hollow out in the u. s. it's commitment to the one china policy and the palliative they chose because in 996 they were absolutely on. and for a war was, you know, colace of diplomacy that was sufficiently aggressive to cause

a momentary political banning. and in their view delivered, it will result in terms of the moderation of subsequent rhetoric from time when they leave. so it would appear that china's leaders have kind of brought up same playbooks. with today though, in many ways the pro stay is more aggressive than in 1996. when the most aggressive missile test was still some 50 miles away from taiwan post, whereas today, the exclusion zone. so those 13, along with this, as was mentioned, what about things like restrictions on trade that now on the found that china has currently a whole to the exports of sand used in the tech industry and some fruit and fish could, could those kind of things be widened yeah, yeah. and that, you know, something we, again, in the following the previous crisis unit in the late 99. for example, fruit exploits being being called. i don't necessarily think a widening of the sanctions to mad to encompass, you know,

broaden the sectors of the time. ones economy is law is likely. rather they would probably a sort of unofficial unspoken sanctions. will be conducted on a sam oral basis against sending economic sectors that do a great deal of the trade, which li overlap with political constituencies within that one. ok really, but there sit half cash off. thank you very much. and if your time here on out there and keep them or what's happening in the taiwan straits is also being felt in no pen as the a c in the foreign ministers meeting begins. diplomats from the us, china, and southeast asian nations are gathering. so in st. louis has more from the company in capital one foreign ministers of the association of southeast asia, nations are urging restraint in the taiwan strait in a statesman. as him members said, they are concerned volatility that could lead to miscalculation an open conflict.

but they were careful not to take sides, reaffirming their support for the one china policy while remaining silent on you as how speaker nancy pelosi visit to taiwan. china has used the meetings in pin on pen as an opportunity to show up support in exchange for economic investments in the region. or we don't really know golden vander, we will focus on pushing for high quality development. build new development paradigm provide bigger momentum for regional and global economic recovery and provide more development opportunities for us and countries english. but chinese diplomacy was not extended to all. its minister cancelled a meeting with japan at the last minute to register displeasure with a statement issued by g 7 nations of which japan is a part about policies visit to taiwan. one. the u. s. has sought to diffuse tensions. it's reiterated. it's commitment to the one china policy,

while adding it's supposed to any move that will challenge tie one's status. and i hope very much that a vision will now manufacturer crisis will see a pretest to increase it aggressive military activity. ah, we in countries around the world believe the escalation serves no one and could have unintended consequences to serve no one's interest, including us young members, including china. that statement is unlikely to go down well with beijing. russia has voiced its support for china, defending its right to hold military drills around, tie one, and accusing the u. s. of fueling tensions in the region. the meeting's infinite pen are supposed to be a platform for the top diplomat to hash out solution to problems facing the region and the wider world from tension to the taiwan straits. the crisis in young law and

the war in ukraine. but with some of the world's major powers declining to hold one on one meetings in cambodia, even the best diplomats will likely find this a tough mission. florence louis al jazeera nor pen bank of england is projecting that the u. k. economy will slip into recession by the end of the year. it's heights, the interest rate by a half percentage points is the biggest jump since 1995. for the move is aimed at coming you case worse, inflation in 40 years. central banks around the world have been pushing up rates to curb spending and bring down prices. under simmons has more from london. aside from this, sir, increase in the interest rates, which is the highest, the 27 years the highest rise in 27 years. there is a warning of this recession of prediction, if you will, that it will start in the last 3 months of this year. go right the way through 2023 . and there still will be a problem with the beginning of 2024. now this is on

a par with the 2008 financial crisis for the u. k. however, it's shallow. that crisis is more in line with what happened in the 19 ninety's, another recession there. what will happen for people in the u. k? well, they're going to find that their wages on keeping pace with the cost of living that's already the case. now we're seeing lots of industrial disputes because of that that will continue. the real killer blow though is the cost of energy, and that's down to the russian war against ukraine having a major effect. let's just take a look at the system that works in the u. k. to cap energy bills. annual figures are going up from 2 or a half 1000 us $1.00 to $4200.00 so so this sudden increased on energy bills. colossal it costs more than a $120.00 to fill up the average fuel tank at the moment. that is another major

area. furthermore, there is a whole question mark about how people can really afford food bills across the u. k. so this is for a developed country, a serious crisis of 20 more ahead on the knees, our including new economy minister announces measures to tackle argentina's troubled finances. and we had to baghdad the city divided not just by the tigris river, but also by its political loyalties. vacillating sport is in on to her news into the quarter finals in san jose. ah, no russian court has found american basketball star, brittany griner, guilty of possessing and smuggling drugs. this comes after moscow, airport security staff at found vape cartridges containing cannabis oil. in her

how politically charged has this case been? well, it has been very charge the bite and administration has been informed about developments throughout this process. the white house has reached out to a members of crime, his family, but also last week we had the state department as saying that they were negotiations underway for what was described as a substantial prisoners swap. basically exchanging rhina and another be opposed to being held in russia poll whelan, pass for a russian prisoner. now that's embassy hasn't been specifically defined, but there has been speculation that this particular individual is a man named victor bolt, who is serving a 25 year sentence in the u. s. fall had gotten running among other things, links to terrorist organizations. so this is politically charged, but state department is handling ongoing negotiations,

and it is speculation as well that now that the sentence has been passed, which was the crucial point. these negotiations may come to a positive conclusion. and my how does this play out domestically then in terms of how people and voters with god the administration? well, it is once again, a very difficult situation. there are some within the u. s. who argue very strongly that to give in to, to moms to exchange prisoners for example, is a threat to us citizens as a whole. it puts us travelers, for example, goes the argument at risk. others within the country are getting very strongly that the administration has every duty to bring back american citizens who are and just to be imprisoned wherever they are in the world. so that all these countering arguments. but generally, one would say that any prisoner return with somebody who has not facing what are

viewed as serious criminal charges would be welcomed by many within south africa and within the united states. and would also be popular for the biden administration. okay, might hannah for now in washington d. c. thank you. now, a turkish merchant ship ship is expected to arrive in the ukrainian black sea port of china mosque on friday. once there will collect ukrainian grain intended for export, it will be the 1st vessel to arrive at a ukrainian port since the war began. the empty vessel had been anchored off istanbul awaiting to cross the boss for us into the vaccine. nato secretary general young sultan burg says russia cannot be allowed to win the war in ukraine, and the alliance must prevent the conflict from spreading members have been increasing defense spending since the russian invasion, germany is giving up to become the wells 3rd largest military spend after the u. s

this is a federal case that's being brought by the justice department. in the past 30 minutes, the attorney general merit garland announced that the 4 officers who were involved in the raid aubriana taylor's apartment in march 2020 are now going to be facing federal charges of violating her civil rights. specifically, her rights to on her rights against unlawful search and seizure, which is the 4th amendment to the us constitution. the 3 officers were the ones who went into her apartment. the night of that rate of the other officer was the person responsible for drawing up the search warrant. and i'm reading here from a some a quotes are coming from. the a press briefing. they are rob saying that these officers have a violated not only of brianna taylors, of civil rights, but that they also allegedly engaged and unlawful conspiracy. they had an

unconstitutional use of force in that raid. and they are being accused of obstructing the investigation into brianna taylor's death. now there have been a couple of cases in which officers were charged. one was charged and directly with a her kelling. he was acquitted. others were facing of civil penalties of the city of louisville, kentucky where brianna taylor lived, had to pay out a multi $1000000.00 settlement to her family. and her boyfriend at the time was charged with as with shooting one of the officers who was coming into the apartment . but he was a later ra, cleared of those charges and can't be charged again. he had argued self defense because he said the police officers never identified themselves. and ultimately, it came out that to the person that told louisville police were looking for at the time, did not to live in that apartment. and that the sirs apparently were not

a being careful when they started firing in their attempt to swear out. this's search warrant. so this is a breaking case. these 4 officers have been brought into custody. we don't know yet when they will appear in court to say whether they are a guilty or not guilty of these federal charges. and rosalind, this led to unrest in protest at the time, which still resonates today, doesn't it? it does resonate tell you saw not just of the uproar over brianna taylor's death, but it really came to a new level after the murder, 2 months later of george floyd and minneapolis again at the hands of local police. there, the officer who was seen a restraining and essentially choking mister floyd to death was a convicted of killing him and is now serving time in prison. but this did ring

a new focus on the tactics which police agencies, which are local agencies in the united states carry out particularly against african americans against latinos, other ethnic minorities, and those who are not considered to be in any sort of a powerful position in their communities, there's a still an effort to try to curb the ability of local police departments to a use of force when they're trying to fight crime. but that effort on the federal level has run into considerable problems on capital hill. okay, we will of course have more on this as we get it rosen joining in washington dc. thank you. of unease now, rocks influential, she is a politician, looked harder of shadow, is demanding an early election. he says dialogue with political rifle, which has proven to be futile, delivered the televised address urging supporters to continue

officer, just trailing institute of marine science. he says, despite the positive development climate change is still a huge threat. the southern reef decrease was relatively small and it was because of an outbreak of kind of foreign starfish, which is a natural predator which can get out of control when certain conditions allow. but i think more importantly, what we're really saying here is that while there's good news, there's also some not good news in this report. and while the carol cover is similar to what it was in the 1980 people should not believe in any way that that means that the conditions on the race are the same as they were in the 1980s. nothing could be further from the truth. and the reason is because the reef is now subject in any given year to potentially devastating bleaching events cause not by solar radiation specifically, but by warming oceans and ocean heat raves,

driven by climate change. that's the number one threat to the reef. we had a bleaching event this year, and luckily it didn't last quite long enough for the corals to die. so a little bit of heat, they can go white, they bleach. but if it goes to long, then mortality occurs, they die. and this year we were very lucky just as it was reaching that threshold was walking a tight rope conditions got a little bit better. but in any given year now, the reef could be subject to some pretty severe bleaching events. and so while there's good news, we certainly can't see being really vigilant and doing everything we can to protect the reef in the future. writes campaigners in 10 years. so social media has been used to promote a false information, hate speech ahead of next week's presidential election platforms, such as facebook say they've taken action to prevent it. or critic say, it's not enough. welcome,
