record a mouth coral is recovered, but it is an entirely new from coral bleaching. ah, welcome to the program. we begin in the us where 2 years after medical technician, brianna taylor was shot dead in on during a botched police raid for police officers have been charged over their roles in the incident. a death led to mass protests across the us as part of the black lives massive movement triggered by the killing of george floyd just a few months later. or the justice department has been investigating the police department in the county government for more than a year. assessing the use of unreasonable force and whether officers who violate the rules face accountability, the f b i is now brought civil rights charges against for serving and former police officers involved in the raid on brewing brianna taylor's home. 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 amendment rights were violated when defendants, joshua jane's kyle, me, and kelly good, let sought a warrant to search miss taylor's home, knowing that your officers lack probable cause for the search of the families. loya 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 that officer should be held accountable for

brianna taylor's murder. and today is the 1st day towards getting that jestus this country on this day in this city, in louisville, kentucky. we have been vindicated. there is justice for us. somebody 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 it happened. the shock is that it is expo. yeah, they're honest with bank that we have to talk about. it has been exposed to what i say to america. what are we missing? at rosen? jordan joins us live now from washington. and rosa, very important to the offices that have been charged here. were part of the, the, the process of will a falsified the affidavit in order to get the search warrant on the, i'm just,

it just explain to us what these are, what these changes involve. well, essentially what the usaa government is alleging is that 3 of the officers who have been charged on thursday and who have been arrested basically used information that they knew was out of date, used information that they had not independently verified or corroborated. and put it together in a search warrant. they knew that this information was faulty, but they used the document anyway, according to federal prosecutors, to carry out this raid on several locations, including the apartment of brianna taylor. they also allege that to once so she was killed, they were scrambling within 24 hours to basically try to cover up the fact that they did not have all of the correct information to justify conducting this so called no knock raid, where you basically break down

a door and just go in guns blazing out. they didn't have the evidence to justify that kind of search. and so that's the ups that is the conspiracy charge. and then because they did not come clean with local or federal investigators, that's also making false statements or lying. those 2 charges could get them if they're convicted 5 years in prison, the obstruction charge the actively working together to hide information from investigators. that's a much more serious charge. it could land all of these officers 20 years in prison if they are convicted. now this is work that to the federal government has been conducting for more than a year. and it is taken up until now for a federal grand jury to decide that these are the charges that should be carried out against these 4 officers. it's worth pointing out that the officer who was

firing part during part of that read that officer who's bullet struck. brianna taylor is not one of the defendants in this case. all right, thank you very much. rosalind jordan in washington. ah, the chinese ambassador to the un says he hopes the us will learn a lesson from the situation in the taiwan strait. white bait badge is now conducting life fire drills. the show of military might comes after house beacon nancy pelosi ended her controversial trip to taipei visit. that's infuriated. china pie one says chinese naval ships and military aircraft made several incursions into its territorial waters earlier. another senior chinese diplomat describe policies trip as manic, irresponsible, and irrational. we hope that the united states will draw

a lesson from such a situation that at nearly they should all know their commitment or they weren't china, principal, not to support. i may have heard my independence attempts, we hope they will stop doing anything further. under my, i'm in charge of sovereignty of territory, interpreted that i think the messages were clear. well, the drills are focused in 6 exclusions owns that surround taiwan. 3 of designs overlap areas which taiwan says a 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. well, japan as if, as ministry speculated virt for chinese missiles flew over taipei, taiwan,

capital city, the islands presidents. i ng when said it would firmly defend its sovereignty in national security. in hen today, china conducted life. i exercises around tie one. this deliberate and continuous increase in the military threats way miss are launching on the world's busy shipping lanes. is not only against taiwan, but also against the international community law. these at irresponsible actions. both of you 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 regent inches. where you as how speak and nancy pelosi is continuing with her asia toll and is now in south korea where she's vowed to support the push for dina. clarissa zation of the korean peninsula out there is tony chang has more a day after leaving toby, us house speaker, nancy pelosi,

but the speaker of south careers 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 far exercises that effectively surround the island. chinese state t. v. broadcast video of missiles park 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, you know, the purposes for sure that the people's liberation army is capable of controlling

the taiwan island. a great to turn to talents, independence secession. as forces none, the less china's foreign ministry lamed escalating tensions. firmly on the united states. you are, did you go down 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 far 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 china's top. debra now walked out before the start of

a girl at dinner at the hacienda foreign ministers meeting taking place in cambodia . earlier in the day, the secretary of state antony blinkin told the meeting he hoped badging would not manufacture a crisis over taiwan. lawrence louis has more now from the cambodian capital put on pen. while 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. 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 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. immigration, 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. 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 her vision will non manufacturer crisis or 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 ty, wine, and accusing the u. s. of fueling tensions in the region. the meetings and non pen are supposed to be a platform for top, 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, al jazeera and on pen all over us is expected to declare the monkey pox outbreak. a public health emergency nice declaration should free up additional funding and tools to fight the disease. on tuesday, you,

as president joe biden appointed to federal officials to coordinate the national response. there are currently more than 6 and a half 1000 cases in the us, almost all of them among men who have sex with men. it was al jazeera life from london, still had for you on the program, violence, iraq, northwest of johannesburg, illegal mine as it targeted after the gang rate of 8 women. you have a rising cost of living, you. homeowners is plugged with that largest in trade, interest rate rise in 27 years. ah, friday, august the 5th. here's how it's looking across europe and africa have one so those he warnings will begin to drop off across germany. that's because we've got some thunderstorms rolling through, so that's cooling the atmosphere,

berlin down by almost about 10 degrees so that heat is being squeezed in the czech republic into the czech republic, austria and the balkans were got temperatures in the mid to upper thirties after greece and turkey right now, mixed with sun in cloud for its symbols, some showers along the black sea coast, but nothing major off to the other side of the mediterranean. still a bit of a breeze for coastal sections of portugal. so temperature is just a touch below average, still got that heat going on through spain. and a big drop in temperature is also as we looked toward brussels and amsterdam, some showers rolling through here more concentrated rain that we can find across denmark and other parts of scandinavia, as while now for west africa still are bursts of rain around the gulf of guinea, but particularly heavy from the gambia right through to see or the own. and liberia . next stop, we're going further toward the south and plenty of sunshine to be found. here. cape town got a high of 15 degrees and 4 namibia vinto coming in at 25. that's

a snapshot of your weather. we'll see you soon. take care. ah! unbelievable. it sounds like an agreement. criminal both dislike trading in stolen goods that have been taken by the place. if anyone ever comes to ask the question, they just throw their hands up in the air and say, i don't know, i was just a nominee director. were doing a, an investigation into a ukraine. could you? i bribes, you've been corrupt. i've been cut up. i did just what is it and see al jazeera investigations, the only galks lou . ah,

welcome back. watching al jazeera life from london, look at the main stories are following this out. for us, police officers have been charged over their role in the fatal shooting of brianna taylor. she was shot dead in her home at louisville, kentucky. in 2020 chinese ambassadors the u. n says he hopes the u. s. will draw a lesson from the situation in taiwan strait where beijing is now conducting life fire drills. they're angry that us how speak and nancy pelosi visited taipei on our turkish merchant ship is expected to arrive in the ukrainian black sea port of jordan. a more ask on friday once there are no collect ukrainian grain intended for export. it will be the 1st vessel to arrive at ukrainian port since the war started. the empty vessel had been anchored off is dumb bull waiting to cross the boss for us into the black sea. turkey in the un broke and

a deal between russia and ukraine to allow for grain shipments aiming to ease a global food crisis. or in other developments, we're following a russian quarter sentence, american basketball style, brittany griner to 9 years in prison for possessing and smuggling drugs. his comes after moscow, airport security star found vape cartridges containing cannabis oil and her luggage . greiner pleaded guilty, but said she had not intended to bring a band substance to russia. she was also fine 16 and a half $1000.00. but to time olympic champion has been detained for nearly 6 months . before the sentencing greiner spoke on camera for the 1st time since being arrested in february, i want to say that i have no intent on breaking in russian law. no intent, i do not conspire or plan to commit this crime. i know everybody keeps talking about political pond in politics, but i hope that that is far from this court room. they should take into account all

the document, all the characters for everybody that i sent in on my behalf. i made an honest mistake, and i hope that in your room and in my life i can change his life now from washington and mike, any reaction from the bind in administration about this? well, president biden was very quick to issue a statement when the sentencing happened saying that this was unacceptable, both on going detention and the sentence itself and saying that his administration will continue to explore every avenue as he put it to secure her release. now this also work on the way it's believe to secure the release of another us citizen being held in russia also in terms of wrongful detention as the u. s. puts it so pull whelan along with brickley. griner are the subject of ongoing negotiations which

are believed to involve some kind of exchange. now the speculation is that the russian who will be exchange for these 2 americans, is big boat. he's a convicted arm smuggler who's been serving a 25 year sentence within the united states that was confirmed by the spokesman for the national security council earlier on in the day that these negotiations on going. but from the russian side, there's an insistence they do not want to talk about any of this publicly. we will not engage in megaphone diplomacy set a spokesman for the kremlin. and so it does that mean that there will be some kind of talks or negotiations, albeit unofficially through the state department to try and resolve this and secure her release? well, it's actually believe that these negotiations are underway and have been so for a period of time. it was confirmed by the state department last week that

a proposal had been made to russia. the details of the proposal will not made public, but it was reiterated again today by the spokesman for the national security council that they are waiting for some response from russia on this particular proposal. now it should be noted as well that the secretary of state antony, blinkin is at the moment in cambodia, attending a asi and conference. also there is the russian foreign minister, sir gay lover of so the spokesman from the national security council also hinting that these 2 diplomats may get together to discuss this matter and to continue negotiation that is not confirmed. but that is the likelihood that the national security council spokesperson outlined. thank you very much my account there at why ask you an experts have uncovered evidence of vermont and troops operating in the neighboring democratic republic of congo. something that reminder is repeatedly

denied in the past. at reuters has seen a confidential un document with photos and drone footage from east and congo. and the report says, reminder provides m $23.00 rebels with weapons as, as its troops and rebels have carried out joint attacks against the congress military congolese government has made similar accusations against for one to for years. or wanda has not commented on the you and findings. protest as in cat, you saw a township on the outskirts of the south. african city of cougar's door, have beaten, suspected illegal liners with sticks and set fire to their camps. police have confirmed, at least one person has been killed. demonstrators have been targeting the foreign at so called zelma zamiah's and following the alleged gang rapes of 8 women by the miners last week. more than a 120 suspects have been arrested in a series of police raids since the attack. almost 50 appeared in court on thursday

on charges related to the possession of firearms and illegal mining. for mean a miller has more from keg usa. this situation, your income he saw in the west land of janice, but he's quite volatile. just behind us is a large group of community members who we've also seen people there and needs to be illegal. mine, as 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 also according to the people who 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 and 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 dispersed 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 are taking matters into their own

hands. bank of england as like the interest rate by half a percentage point its biggest jump since $995.00 move is aimed at calming the u. k . worst inflation in 40 years. banks governor is warning it might lead path 13 percent this year, and even higher next year. central banks around the world of and pushing upright rates in order to cub spending and rain in inflation. andrew simmons has more from london. the u. k. has been warned by investors of bankers and freighters that it's behind the curve in dealing with this crisis, with inflation sets according to one, a one the think tank to set to go to 15 percent. very serious indeed. and so you have now a rate that's been the biggest rise in 27 years. and not only that, perhaps, just as disturbing is an unusual aspect to it all in which the bank of england

has actually declared that there will be a period of recession ahead. it's saying the limit for 5 consecutive quarters that's more than a year. there will be a recession with the gross domestic product falling as much as 2 point one percent . the bank has said now this is sending a shudder in the city. it's sort of reminiscent perhaps of 2008 than the global financial crisis. what this is about is inflation. i'm what it's more than important that ever to add is that it's the ukranian war in russia's actions in and shutting down the level of gas supplies to europe and a whole host of other aspects with energy that have caused the crisis in the u. k. with inflation and it is 500 people have been killed in flash, france in a landslide since may june in south west pakistan had him on seen range of force

thousands from now homes and is getting wolf now reports farmers have also been baggy affected, such as ali wage through the waters of his flooded cotton field after days of monsoon rains. he says his crop with worth around $7500.00 and now he has to find another way to earn an income. very good, we'd been working so hard on this crop for months. i'd taken out a loan to plant it, but now i have to go and work on someone else's land because we can't make ends made. the damage is clear from above. with home swept away and survivors living intense around 60 families, call this little town and southern pakistan home raising crops of cotton chillies and wheat. but now their livelihoods are in ruin. and huge chunk of agricultural land has been destroyed and hundreds of homes have been swept away by us. give us all good, but there are village tribes on cotton and we pay for our marriage functions for

construction of our houses from the income we get from the crop. it's costly to so, but the income is also very high. this time though, god will that differently, the rains have devastated our crop almost entirely was sitting here at the mercy of god, with no help or rescue inside. in flood, his regions nationwide, military and rescue agencies are struggling to reach those who've been stranded with millions of residents at risk of developing waterborne diseases. and for this region already dealing with decades of drought, the monsoon rains should have been a welcome reprieve. not the cause of such destruction. chilling move out of the australia's great barrier reef is set to a new record for karl recovery with the highest level of coral cover in the rece north and central regions in 36 years. despite their recovery, it's still considered vulnerable to bleaching scientists. monitoring the re found the coral cover in the north average 36 percent out from 13 percent in 2017. to

cover average 33 percent in the central area of the reef from 14 percent in 20. 19 the southern area fell to 34 percent and 38 percent last year. a pull hard to see as the australian institute of marine science and says, the reef still faces 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 1980s, 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 while the 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. she's being really vigilant and doing everything we can to protect the reef in the future as much warning recovering, right? yeah.
