including a new 3 part series, the sixty's in the arab world. as protests continue following the swearing in the new president could sri lanka, economic and political crisis lead to humanitarian 1 august on which is iraq lied and robust debates. a lot of folks when they hear the word refugee think stranger, they think other law latrice stuck in these camps. it's regardless of your raise. the way you're coming from. you said, give everybody safety from global issues to those that need to be heard. human rights and land defenders and brazil, they live in a circumstance of permanent violence and intimidation. the street for a global audience becomes a global community on al jazeera, the usa always of him for the people. all right, the world people pay attention to work with on here and i'll just, he was very good at bringing the news to the world from here. oh,

for offices are charged in the u. s. or the death of brianna taylor, a black woman killed and a botched police right. we been saying that out was there should be held accountable for brianna taylor's murder. and today is the 1st day towards getting digestive. ah, i'm carry johnston. this is al jazeera, where live from del, also coming up china launch is it's biggest at the military drills near taiwan and says the us needs to learn a lesson after how speak and nancy pelosi visited the major on american by of all star brittany griner is sentenced to 9 years,

a drug possession in russia. and signs that corals in australia is great. barrier reef are recovering faster than predicted. ah, for us police officers have been charged over their role in the fatal shooting of be on the taylor. she was shot dead in her home at louisville, kentucky in 2020. her death led to mass protests across the u. s. the f. b i has arrested and brought civil rights charges against for current and former police officers for their role in the shooting. the federal charges announced today, 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 amendment 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 your officers lack probable cause for the search on the family's lawyer and her mother say they are one step closer to justice, we've been saying it since 2020. we've been sand a blad. we've been sam. 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 in this country on this day in this city, in lowville, kentucky, we have been vindicated. there is justice for us. some body was wrong, and not only were they wrong, not only did they live, but they attempted to cover it up. they have been lying to you,

and the shock here is not that has happened. the shock is bad. it is expo, a bank that we have to talk about. it has been exposed to what i say to america. what are we missing? so as we celebrate and congratulate and we must take a moment to breathe, we must take some time to cry. we must have, we have to have time to recover. and so he'll, because let me say to you, all this has been traumatic. this is a traumatic being black in a country that over and over again tells you your life does not matter. and listen to me, it should not have taken the f b. i to lead this into this investigation where we're going to cross live now to rosalind jordan that rosalind, what more can you tell us?

well, according to the uh, federal government, several of the officers, i did not exercise a due diligence when they were trying to validate the search warrant that they claimed they needed. in order to try to find someone who was selling drugs. someone whom brianna taylor had known in the past, but they are accused of not only a, not verifying the information, but also lying about what they did verify 2 investigators. and so that is considered a violation of, of brown taylors civil rights. they're also accusing of the pro, the police officer, some former one owed some former, with some current of you recklessly injuring brianna taylor's apartment in march 2020, and basically firing their fire arms without of any real regard for the safety of the people in her apartment. or in neighboring apartments. now the have not to said

yet to when they're going to be in court. all 4 men were arrested in louisville earlier on thursday. and rosalind won't happen, lead to great social unrest and protests which still resonates today. doesn't. it does still resonate job, but certainly this does answer a key demand from brianna taylors family and from the larger community in louisville, kentucky. given that they were extremely dissatisfied with how, while local and state authorities investigate abriana taylors killing, they say that there were in their view, miscarriages of justice. evidence not being properly brought in the jury, not getting all the information that it needed in the various court cases surrounding her death. and so they say that this is justified their repeated demonstrations, their repeated calls for boycott, their repeated calls on public officials to step aside. they say that tub for more

than 2 years, they have faced blow back for us making a very public, a spectacle of brianna taylor's death, what they're saying in order to ensure that people are held accountable for her killing. they say that they had to essentially put their own lives on the line. that is a message that resonates with many people across the united states. given that there is considerable debate about whether local police departments do too much when they're trying to enforce the law was in jordan with that update for us in washington dc. thank you very much. indeed. are there a growing attentions between china and the united states? the chinese ambassador to the un says he hopes the u. s. will draw a lesson from the situation in the taiwan strait where beijing is now conducting live fire drills. well, this show military might comes just out of the house because nancy pelosi ended her controversial trip to time visit. that infuriated china taiwan says chinese naval

ships and military aircraft have made several incursions into its territorial waters earlier. another senior chinese diplomat described blazys trip as manic, irresponsible, and irrational. when 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 territory waters in just when someplace is just 20 kilometers of shore. or the 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. while japan's defense ministry speculated that 4 chinese missiles flew over taipei, taiwan capital city, the arden's present, sy, in when they said it would firmly defend its sovereignty and national security. in

don't go that i wasn't dolby in kinky today, china has conducted live fire exercises around taiwan. this deliberate and continuous increase in military threats miss all launching on the world. busiest shipping lanes is not only against taiwan, but also against the international community. these are irresponsible actions. now our army has strengthened its combat readiness. the army will keep a close watch on all surrounding military movements. we are also in close contact with our allies and work together to prevent the security situation from escalating in the region bundle. or kristen salumi joins us now from the united nations and kristin, i understand you been speaking with the chinese ambassador to the you and at what did he tell you? yes, i was able to talk to china as you and ambassador zang june on his way into the security council chambers today. and i, he was very open about the message that china is trying to send with its military

activities in and around. ty, want around taiwan, i should say, and that this was meant to send a message to the united states that it should not interfere or support a claim of independence by taiwan. japan's foreign defense ministry has said that 5 of the missiles that were shot in the area landed in their economic exclusive economic zone. i pressed him about that. they also say one flee directly over taiwan and pressed him about the appropriateness of that. and he said that it was a legitimate response to the united states actions have a listen to what he had to say. we hope that the united states will draw a lesson from such a situation that nearly they should honor their commitment. otherwise, china principal and not to support and they had told my independence

attempts, we hope they will stop doing. i'm the st. footer under my and in china. so frontier territory integrity. and that i think the message is where i live. and kristen has there been any reaction from the un nova this increased tension in the st. the secretary general spokesperson said that antonio gutierrez is watching the situation closely and with concern the secretary general's actually on his way to japan. right now to take part in a piece ceremony commemorating the bombing of hiroshima and the secretary general was asked directly about rising tensions in the region on wednesday. and was very careful not to take sides in this issue. the official policy he pointed out of the united nations is to recognize china's one china policy. that's why taiwan

does not have a representative here at the united nations. china is considered the representative for taiwan. so puts the u. n. and a bit of a tough situation between 2 great powers, the united states and china. and hence the very careful language security council certainly has not weighed in on this matter all either. and i don't think that's likely to happen. china holds the presidency this month, the united states would have to request a meeting in order for it to be discussed in it's a little unlikely that we'll see anything more formal taking place on that. ok, thanks for that. update to kristin's me. me live with us there at the urine. ah, richard, that whites is a defense on this stuff. the global consultant see a wiki strep. he says china's military response is strong. this is not the most aggressive thing that the p l a could do, but it's pretty expensive. i mean, worse,

they're basically showing us that the chinese navy and air force now has to capacity turn force a blockade around time and sprang good economically. cut off that import of food and fuel and other necessities. and the u. s. would have to use military force to break that blockade. so i think this is a fairly, you know, firm and military response or not impeding on how many aerospace are attacking targets in taiwan. but posing a blockade if it were to formerly be declared as an act of war. the initial fear was the impression full scale invasion of ukraine, which was unexpected by many could lead to a similarly unexpected attack by the mainland on taiwan. soon,

most people would think it would be if he years off. but now, since the war is dragged on, the russian military campaign has not been successful. the thinking is, conversely, that this will induce caution that the chinese government wouldn't risk and that was likely to risk an attack because of the possibility of having the same kind of stale made economic sanctions and so on. that the west has been imposing on ukraine . but we really don't know. i mean, i think the probably the p l a probably going to rehearse and tactics during these drills to see how it can avoid some of the mistakes the russians have been making in ukraine. a russian quarter sentence to american basketball star, brittany griner, to 9 years in prison, possessing and smuggling drugs. when it comes after moscow, airport security star found vate, cartridges containing cannabis oil in her luggage. she was also find 15 and a half $1000.00 to time of pick champion had been detained for nearly 6 months.

while the head of the sentencing of grannis spoke on camera for the 1st time since being arrested back in february, i want to say that i have no intent on breaking any russian law. no intent, i do not conspire or plan to commit this crime. i know everybody keeps talking about local pond in politics, but i hope that that is far from this courtroom to take into account all the documents, all the character lists for everybody that i sent in on my behalf. i made an honest mistake and i hope that you're ruined in my life. i just have a correspondent mike hannah is live in washington, d. c. mike, this case continues to be politically charged as president biden was

very quick to respond off to the scenting thing, issuing a statement to describing it as an acceptable and saying that if we have a new is going to be pursued to bring the basketball player back to the united states, we do know that there have been ongoing negotiations with the russians on some form of prisoners swap to bring back hi britney griner, as well as another us citizen being held in russia poll whelan. now there had been speculation that they would be exchanged for a russian being held the united states serving a 25 year sentence. he was convicted of arms smuggling charges. so the speculation has been that this is the swap that is being considered. we also heard from the spokesman for the national security council, john kirby, who reiterated that everything was being done to make these negotiations successful . it must be, you know, to, to that the secretary of state and need blinking is in cambodia at present, attending a conference. now, there too is the russian foreign minister,

gay lover of that, and could be making clear that there could well be contact between the 2 in order to find some way in which the matter can be result. and mike, in terms of the domestic audience, how does all this play out for the administration? well, there are some who arguing that any type of swap like this could put the lives of americans who are traveling at risk. but it would appear that the bulk of public support is behind the biden's abstraction in terms of effecting this release, previous prisoner swaps. so previous returns of those detained and lawfully. as the u. s. would put it in. other countries has been welcomed by the public as a whole, and no reason to see why it would be different or any different in this particular case. lie for a sin, washington d. c. mike hannah, thank you. also the head hair on al jazeera anger in johannesburg,

off the gang rape of 8 women police arrest more than a 120 suspects. the bank of england takes aggressive action to try to curve inflation wounds. a recession is on the cons. ah, with or for parts of the middle east temperatures in some spots are running about 10 degrees above average. hey, for one hears the details on friday. so buck dead at $52.00 degrees q weight at 50 . that's while above where you should be for this type of the year. got to tell you, i think there's the very real risk of seen some flooding in demons, capital sun with these bursts of rain here, right through to the he jazz mountains. now i want to take you through the gulf states. the winds are going to shift around south for doha. so that's going to ramp

up your temperature to $41.00 degrees. this is a day forward on saturday, and there's that flooding, rain potential on either side of the red sea as it carries through on saturday. the rain starting to wind down for portions of pakistan. we do have some bursts of rain to be found, but the bulk of the energy will stay toward the northwest of india. next, stop or go into turkey and we've got just a mixed of sun in cloud through is stumble, 30 degrees, some showers across turkeys, black seacoast, but nothing major. central africa looks like this. of course, we've had that flooding in eastern uganda, especially around late victoria. but these bursts of rain coming off the ethiopian highlands, and just moving further toward the west. and as we check in on south africa right now, plenty of sun cape town, looking good with the high of 15 on friday soon. ah, drank assessment. how much support is there at st protesting seen chain across the rest of the country?

the street movement has been very good at stepping into the court and the people across the country informed opinions. we will say more of what is happening is that climate change is making them work. in depth analysis of the days global headlines, druggie is credited by some we're really, we're storing italy's credibility to the critics would say he couldn't play the part of a politician. what do you think went wrong inside story or now jazeera? ah ah, they're watching out a reminder of our main stories for us police officers have been charged with their role in the fatal shooting or free on the trailer was shot dead in the home at new phil kentucky in 2020 a death and to mass protests across the us,

high ones government says the odd and won't be intimidated by china's military exercises. she has gone nice. i munition journals hi run straight a day off us house big enough to lose the left like pay russian quarter century american basketball star, brittany griner to 9 years in prison on drugs charges. she was arrested in february of the airport staff found the cottages containing cannabis oil in her luggage. but what's happening in the taiwan strait is also being felt in non pen where a c in foreign ministers are meeting china's foreign minister walked out before the start of the garden dinner earlier. the us secretary of state antony blink and said he hoped beijing would not manufacture a crisis about taiwan. so it's theory has more from the conversion capital. one foreign ministers of the association of southeast asia, nations are urging restraint in the taiwan strait. in a statement,

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 you as how speaker nancy pelosi visit to taiwan. china has used the meetings impact on pen as an opportunity to show up support in exchange for economic investments in the region. only going to re 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 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 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 ones status. and i hope very much that does vision will now manufacturer crisis. so see a pretest to increase it grosses military or to me? are 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 taiwan and accusing the u. s. of fuel intentions in the region. the meetings and non 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 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, al jazeera and on pen. south african police are trying to stop vigilante attacks on suspected illegal miners. the township and their johannesburg, it follows the gang rape of 8 women. there a mind done last week. 120 suspects of leave to be illegal. miners have been arrested for me. the miller has more franca. he saw this situation here in coffee. so, and the will stand up to have is what is quite volatile. i just behind us is a large group of community members. we've also seen a sales team. people, they need to be illegal minus amazon as, as they're known here. they say not only are they mining illegally at disused mind

sharps trying to find gold, but they're all so according to the people you are terrorizing the community. they accused these illegal minors of killing people in the area of raping women. here. people here say they're not safe for now. they've come out and you see a number of police vehicles. they've had to use stun grenades and tear gas to drive disposed people. but a lot of these community members have come out. they say they've had enough and because police, according to them, are not doing enough. they're taking matters into their own hands. and these 2 more grain silos have collapsed in the lebanese ports of bay route. it happened on the 2nd anniversary of the explosion there, but killed more than $200.00 people and injured thousands more remains of the sigh . those have been on fire for weeks since hot weather ignited fermenting grain left inside. the 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 point. it's biggest chunk since 1995. i move is aimed at calming the u. case worse to inflation and 40 years. central banks around the world have been pushing up rates to curb spending and bring down prices. andrew 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 that 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. a however, it's shallow. that crisis is more in line with what happened to 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 a 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 $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. thousands of people are being told to leave their homes as

torrential rain for causes flooding in northern japan. at least 3 people have been reported missing after rivers overflowed their banks in 3 different areas, accessed to roads and bridges has been cut off, and some services on a high speed rail line have been suspended. our strain is great binary for set. a new record for coral recovery. the reef has lost more than half of its coral since 1995 because of warmer, sees driven by climate change. but a new report by the australian institute of marine sciences found 2 thirds of the reef has the largest amount of coral cover in 36 years. in the north, it grew from 13 percent in 2017 to 36 percent this year. cover in the central part is increased to a similar degree. the southern region last fall of it's carl, due to not break of a crown of thorns starfish will they feed on and deplete reef building coral

fontose say despite its resilience though the reef remains vulnerable to bleaching which is caused by the warmer waters or pool. hardesty is the chief executive officer at the australian institute of marine science. he says, despite the positive developments, 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 carroll cover is similar to what it was in the 980 people should not believe in any way that that means that the conditions on the reef 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 the 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. now onlookers have been making their way to a volcano that's interrupting and.
