ah, we begin with growing tensions between china and the united states, the chinese ambassador to the you and says he hopes the us will draw a lesson from the situation in the taiwan strait, where beijing is now conducting live fire drills. while this show of military might comes just hours after how speak and nancy pelosi ended her controversial trip to type a visit that infuriated china taiwan says chinese naval ships and military aircraft have made several incursions into its territory waters. but earlier, another senior chinese diplomat describe the place is trip, as manic, irresponsible and irrational. a series of drills are focused in 6 exclusion zones that surround taiwan. 3 of the zones overlap areas. taiwan says are part of its territorial waters. in someplace is just 20 kilometers off shore. drills include

long range live ammunition that 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. tony chang has more on the days developments a day after leaving type a u. s. house speaker nancy pelosi met the speaker south korea 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 pink turn in southern china. at the start of live fire exercises that effectively

surround the island. chinese state tv broadcast video of missiles part 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 talents, independence. secession is forces. none. the less, china's foreign ministry lamed escalating tensions firmly on the united states. your why did you go? 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 we. china's lie. 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 for al jazeera kristen salumi spoke to jang june that china's ambassador to the u. n. and we hope that the united states will draw a lesson from such a situation that at nearly day they should honor their commitment or the one kind of principle. not to suppose any time i independence her attempts until we hope they will stop doing anything further under my him in china sovereignty and territory integrity. and that, i think the messages were clear. meanwhile, at china's

a foreign minister has walked out before the start of a gonna dinner, the scene, foreign ministers meeting. earlier in the day, the u. s. secretary of state antony blinking, told the meeting he hoped beijing would not manufacture a crisis about taiwan. florence louis has more from the cambodian capital one foreign ministers of the association of southeast asia, nations are urging restraint in the taiwan strait in a statesman. as in member said, they are concerned volatility. there 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 u. s. how speaker nancy pelosi visit to taiwan. china has used the meetings in been on pen as an opportunity to show up support in exchange for economic investments in the region, only going to re golden bond. 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 university. 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 palo seeds visit to taiwan. 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 once status. and i hope very much the deb vision will mile manufacturer crisis or seek a pretext to increase its aggressive military activity. are we in countries around the world believe that escalation serves no one and could have unintended consequences that serv no one's interest, including us young members,

and 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 meetings in pen on pen are supposed to be a platform for talk, diplomats to hash out solutions to problems facing the region and the wider world. from tensions in the taiwan straits, the crisis and young law and the war in ukraine. but to 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 li, algebra and on pen. for us, police officers have been charged over their role in the fatal shooting aubriana taylor. she was shot dead in her home at lewisville, kentucky in 2020. her death led to mass protest across the u. s. u f. b. i has

arrested and brought civil rights charges against fort current and former police officers for their role in the shooting. the federal charges announced to day allege that members of the place based investigations, unit falsified the affidavit, used to obtain the search warrant of miss taylor's home that this act violated federal civil rights laws. and that those violations resulted in miss taylor's death. specifically, we alleged that miss taylor's 4th member rights were violated when defendants, joshua jane's kyle minnie, and kelly good let sought a warrant to search miss taylor's home, knowing that the officers lack probable cause for the search, and then to cross live. now to ross in george in the roseman want more cunning tennis the attorney general merritt garland also said that of the a 4th officer who has been charged in this case i was exercising

a reckless of regard for life inside brianna taylor's apartment. when he started firing during that raid on her home in march 2020, during the incident, her boyfriend pulled out his a legally owned fire arm and started shooting because he thought somebody was trying to break into their home. he was later charged with shooting one of the officers, and that case was later dismissed. but this is a federal case now because of the allegations that brianna taylor's civil rights were violated. and it comes after considerable pressure from people not just in louisville, kentucky, but from around the country who have been concerned that to a local police departments use excessive force, particularly against people of color and other minorities, and are not held accountable for their behavior. and rosalind, of course,

what happens and that too great social unrest and protests which still resonates today. the rubber cushion still are resonating across the united states. while there was some attention paid at the time to brianna taylor's a death during this, a police raid where it turns out the person they were looking for wasn't anywhere in the apartment complex of a couple of months later, george floyd was killed by a minneapolis a police officer and that brought renewed attention and focus on brianna taylor's case. while no one has been charged formally with actually killing her, even they, they know which police officer actually fired the shot. the city of louisville did have to pay her family $12000000.00 in damages to settle a civil law suit. so this is the kind of situation that has many pushing for reforms in the way that local police departments do their jobs. but trying to make

those changes on the federal level has been difficult, particularly because of resistance by some in congress. ok. rosen jordan in washington dc. thank you. i. russian courts has sentenced american basketball star brittany granite to 9 years in prison for possessing and smuggling drugs. this comes off to moscow, airport security stuff, found vape cottages containing cannabis oil in her luggage. she was also find 15 and a half $1000.00. the 2 time olympic champion had been detained near the 6 months where the head of the sentencing liner spoke on camera for the 1st time since being arrested. back in february i want to say again that i had no intent on broken in russian. mom. i had no intent and not from fire or plan to commit this crime. i know everybody, he talking about political pond politics,

but i hope that that is far from the courtroom. they should take into account all the documents, all the character lived for everybody that sent in on my behalf. made it honestly bay ho say in your ruin as it does in my life. file 0 correspondence. mike, hannah is live 1st now in washington, dc. and mike, this continues to be a politically charged case. indeed, years for president biden has released a statement describing the imprisonment and that the sentence as unacceptable. he says that his administration will continue to pursue every avenue to bring her home along with paul wheeler. now po whelan is another us citizen who's being held in russia on spy charges. there has been speculation that he, along with griner would be the subject of a prisoner swapped. now this was raised by the state department in the past week by

the secretary of state. and in the course of the morning morning, we've also heard from national security council spokesman john kirby saying that these negotiations should be held in good faith as expressing the hope that now that a sentence has been passed, they can go forward. that should also be noted that antony blinkin is in cambodia at present for in asia and conference. also there is survey, let rob and mr. kirby was all directly with the 2 are likely to be in touch over this matter in cambodia. he said that is a possibility. had no doubt the secretary of state will be trying everything he can to get these negotiations pushed through. and mike domestically, how does all this play out for the administration? well, it's a mixed her kettle in a way because there are some within the country. you argue that any prisoners shot strauss swap would put the lives of american travellers at risk and perhaps getting

them arrested. so that's, that's kind of trade can go on. but the bulk of americans would appear would be behind this type of a prisoner swap, particularly in the cases where you've got the u. s, saying very clearly at that both griner and poll whelan are wrongfully detained. so it may well be a popular move by president biden. should he get these negotiations put through and get these as american citizens back into the country? i must just as well, it's unusual for politicians to be talking publicly while these procedures are and the way that the russians have said very clearly, they don't want any negative clone. diplomacy of this. and yet you have the spokesman for the national security council speaking publicly about the hope that these negotiations received successfully. so this is unusual that raw the public nature of these ongoing negotiations are currently there. might hannah,

in washington d. c. thank you. was to the head hair on al jazeera, the bank of england warns of recession as it announces its biggest interest rate, hiking 27 years and warnings, social media platforms and tenure spreading hate speech. and this information, the head of a general election ah, the journey has begun. the, the full world cup is on its way to catherine book, your travel package today. let's go with your weather update for asia. however, one good to see you 1st, we're going to start in the bay of bengal. we're monsoon brains are just being whipped around all sides here in your, in nepal, central portions of the country. we've had some deadly landslides there. i don't think it's a question if we'll see flooding, but just where and how much across western portions of india,

and taiwan strait a day off to us. how speak, nancy. lucy, nephrotite paying for us. police officers have been charged with their role in the fatal shooting on the on atlanta. and it was shot dead enough not to louisville kentucky in 2020. her death led to must princess crossed us or not. this was the reaction of the tailor family just a few moments ago. once they were caught on their lives in may, they met to conspire again to cover it up and try to tarnish brianna taylor's name . we've sad this. we've been san it since 2020. we've been san they blad, we've been saying brianna was not involved. we've been saying they should not be at brianna's home. we've been saying the officer should be held accountable for brianna taylor's murder. and today is the 1st day towards getting digestive

the day is a day for happiness is for 2 years of almost lose and complete hope that we would, that we would see today by having to maintain hope. so that to make a palmer still had hope. it's been a rough or rocky, 2 years for the attorneys, the community, the activists, everyone that has been involved in this case, that is known to truth about this case. but today is a little bit of vindication. to show that our fight was righteous, they made a move, a move. and again, it's a start. we're going to continue to fight for justice where brianna taylor, because the 3 officers are fighting like they were indicted today. we don't know how long that process is going to take is going to take out the federal court system, but they were indicted. the federal government had the guts to do with daniel

cameron did not move the map. these, instead, the kentucky attorney general's office showed in this case, shows a his political career news. the in now i recorded, he couldn't go out representing the constituents in the state of kentucky. a cassie is shown that he is mad for us. he is about south a thank you. i thank you for that. i need a bank of the national bar association. oh, it is so profound that 4 offices have been charged and the links as president baker said that the federal government went through to dot every i and

cross every t. it's not something that we have seen historically done on behalf of black people, especially black women. i can't think of our justice department been disc committed to civil rights since robert kennedy and the civil rights movement were filed, martin luther king and john lewis. so this is a historic day on every level. and you think about the fact that they have plenty of me overwhelming proof that these officers not jas was negligently execute and, and no not warrant but to make appointment. they also bad. oh warner that led to deadly conflict with that led to deadly consequences of this innocent black woman and knew they were like jennifer clock and the f

b. i. agents who were working with the civil rights division. they made a point to acknowledge that they know they will fossil find the documents and that is critically important because they knew that those officers were likely rely on their falsified documents. that they would likely come to brianna's upon me, come to brianna's appointment, and kick in the door. they know that these fossil fat documents, this search war, would lead them to think that it was a dangerous situation that they were going to have guns drawn. and they knew that these false, so fide documents were likely to lead to serious bodily injury and possibly death. and that's exactly what it did

when, as the attorney general say, brianna was shot in the heart and that led to her death. and so that's why we're so grateful to the department of justice because they fall where the fax went and where dan, your camera were in go. so thank you again to the justice department. and now our young lady who is the queen of this movement. she is, one of the leaders were of angelo and marsan and lambert who are lead until freedom who move to louisville and till they were going to get justice for brianna taylor and thank god yakking valley go home. yes. so to make a mallory and the queen a little while reaction there of the yet
