taiwan says it's called but ruddy and has dispatched its own ships and jets after chinese naval ship sunday aircraft conducted drills near its waters. these provocative actions are a significant escalation. here a secretary of state and sleep, lincoln calls tried his actions disproportionate and unjustified as, as a threatened to destabilize the entire region. ah, hope civil robins watching as they were like my headquarters here in dough. also coming up we'll be live in iraq's capital baghdad, where the crowds are getting together in a major square outside parliament as a political deadlock continues. also, the u. s. declines a public health emergency after arise and monkey pops cases and vaccine supplies

dwindle. plus 3 more coke ships, full of brain have left ukrainian port on the black sea. ah, wasn't program us extra state entity blinking has condemned chinese military exercises in the taiwan strait, calling them a major escalation. the drills were logged in response to a visit to taiwan this week by the us house beacon nancy pelosi, which has angered beijing, speaking to a summit of south east asian foreign ministers in cambodia. lincoln was that the chinese exercises could destabilize the white region. these provocative actions are a significant escalation we've seen how beijing is attempted to change the status on taiwan for some time. for example, more than doubling the number of aircraft flown over the center line that separates china and taiwan with past 2 years,

pursuing economic or political interference and cyber attacks against taiwan. now, they've taken dangerous acts to a new level. united states is conveyed to the p r c consistently and repeatedly that we do not speak and will not provo a crisis. chinese foreign minister language has warned the u. s. will face consequences after places visit to taiwan. he was speaking of a bilateral meeting with his russian count upon psychology of the con boating capital. to do a good job. no one country and no force should ever imagined that they can separate taiwan from china. where they're using taiwan to contain china or seeking help from the united states for taiwan, independence, all these political moves will not succeed. well, it won't change to make a trend of taiwan for unification with the chinese mainland, the u. s. there all the consequences arising from the farce. oh,

florence louis is falling events for us on the us young conference in cambodia, capital pen, of course florence, the secretary of state, really tod, trying to down play of china's reaction to calling it really an over reaction to the closer visit. absolutely, but he has been more forceful and more firm in his homelands with regards to china's actions in the taiwan strait. he called it an escalation and he said that there is no justification for what china is doing that it's response to you as how speaker nancy pelosi visit to taiwan is extreme is disproportionate, and it's escalade tree and he's calling on china to resolve whatever difference that the mainland has with taiwan using peaceful means, and he said this is expected not only by the us, but also by countries in the region. and we've heard over the last few days how

ozzy in countries i'm calling for maximum restraint in the tie. one state straight because they're worried that the instability, they could also spill over to the region. they've said that the volatility there, there is a risk that that could be an escalation. there is a risk that this could lead to conflict and confrontation, and nobody wants to see that happen. down china for its pot has been defending its actions. chinese foreign ministers, speaking at the side, speaking it, a bilateral meeting with russian foreign minister said that china's response has to be fun because 1400000000 people expect china to defend its sovereignty. so that you have it, china and russia at very 2 very opposing views on what's taking place. china and the u. s. i think about it 2 very opposing views on, on the actions taken in the taiwan strait. and they've not sat down at a meeting to discuss the differences, but instead of how separate chris conferences, real reinstating, really yes,

i mean that physician. and in the middle of all of this, i see a members walking, a very fine line, trying not to aggravate, but also trying to find a peaceful way out of this for their own sakes. absolutely. i mean, we've heard, did the cambodian foreign minister say that austin has faced many challenges in its past since its inception, but this is the 1st time it's faced so many parents in the same, at the same time. and you know, these countries, they would want to be caught up in the middle of the rivalry between 2 major powers . and we've seen also how these 2 major power the u. s. and china have been using this form as a means to court allies and court friends. china promising closer economic ties. the u. s. reaffirming its commitment to keeping the indo pacific region free and

open southeast asian countries. really the, they're really saying that they just want to see peace and stability maintained in this region. and they want these countries to use the forums here at panam pen as a means of communication. but you know, we're really seeing the tensions and the taiwan strait being played out on a more personal level here and on pen. we've seen that on several separate occasions now earlier this morning when the japanese foreign minister was speaking at the east asia summit, the russian foreign minister and the chinese foreign minister walked out during that summit. and then the day before when china was supposed to hold a meeting with japan, they cancelled at the very last minute to show their displeasure with his g. 7 statement about nancy, close his visit to ty one, japan of course being part of the g 7 group. so that's, you know, those are the 10 that you see the tensions in taiwan straits, spilling over 2 events here, and really overshadowing events here in clone pen over the latest

a thanks very much phone so that for us income bed you let's course i have to deviate good pollen. the international editor of taiwan plus joyce me now via skype from type i could tell you this on the program is, could paula mean how nervous all the taiwanese government considering that sort of preparing the public for any eventuality? yeah, the general message here is tay com. we've got a handle on things the ministry of defense, even release to propaganda video showing how the forces have been prepared for this eventuality. now they of course have to monitor all movements very carefully and scramble every time. there's any kind of a breach into the air defense zone or into territorial waters to so far they've been scrambling their fighter jets. there are naval vessels as soon as there seems to be any entrance into those waters that median line, which incidentally the u. s. had, had said, decades ago, which separates what is china's waters and what is taiwan switchers now? and they say that china has, of course fired ballistic missiles,

which they had been doing since yesterday. some of them flew overt taiwan, which they monitored carefully again. but, and they were not too concerned about those because those did not fall into time once waters and said, fell into japan's waters. and japan, of course, has launched a complaint against beijing their it's a part of their economic zone territory where those missiles had landed. so it's another example of how this as tensions, and this exercise is don't just affect taiwan, but they affect the region. so the government here has, again, been, you know, consistent in their messaging, calling china out saying that they're being provocative and in a upping the ante when it doesn't need to. but that made it very clear that while they are the air for war, they definitely do not wants to instigate a conflict. of course, all of this service could pollen impacts on the public at large from those that you've been speaking to. what have they been saying?

that's right. you know, if he got on his teacher it's almost business as usual, as usual, people going out about their daily lives. people are used to this kind of tensions . people are used to the warnings from china, that kind of publication aggressive language, but what people aren't used to as the extent and the scale of what these exercises the china is doing at the moment. so air flights have been disrupted as shipping routes also disrupted, says to certain extent, daily life is being disrupted too. and people here are say they are nervous and there's a general sense of unease. take a lesson is a video is here. there's definitely some concern. the 2 governments haven't been talking to each other for a long time. china's military maneuvers have actually been ongoing for a long time as well. so there's always concern that they'll be an incident that sparks a war. they say, well, i personally feel quite nervous this time. after all china's card military drill surrounding us are very close. they lodge scale and cover

a lot of areas. this time i'm a little more nervous than before. now i fear there, there is a general sense of nervousness and what do you think it's about the moods here is the fact that the number one app download at the moment. it's a police app that shows you where all the air raid bunkers are, and you can click on to find the closest air raid shelter, a bunker to your location. the capital city type type has about 4000 of the and they've been around due to the fact that the specter war has always loomed over tie one over the past few decades. people are used to knowing that they will have to seek shelter if anything escalates. so, what i also need to be clear though is, although people are watching this situation very carefully, they do feel bad. they don't, or rather they don't feel that china will invade their sense is that there could be some kind of a miscalculation that could meet the conflict david coppel and that the international

editor of taiwan plus. thanks for joining us. i'm type, i know japan. so inside the ballistic missile side by china landed in it's exclusive economic zone, calling the incident unprecedented ticket has launched a diplomatic protest years. how speaker nancy pelosi is concluding her tore of asia in japan where she defended her decision to visit taiwan after meeting prime minister fema cuz sheeta police, he said china won't be allowed to isolate taiwan. she also promised american solidarity with the entire region. they may try to keep taiwan from visiting or participating in other places, but they will not isolate taiwan by preventing us to travel there. we've had high level visit senators in the spring, a bipartisan way, continuing visits, and we will not allow them to isolate taiwan. they are not doing

our travel schedule. our representation here is not about changing the status quo here and in asia, can you status quo taiwan? iraq's, she had political lead and looked at the outset schools and supporters to observe friday prayers on the square inside baghdad. screen zone as follows, have been occupying parliament, which is inside the fortified area for several days. so they gave protest as until friday to leave the parliament building, but told them to continue there sitting outside that opposed to the nomination of arrival. politician as prime minister over the very latest that joined dorset jabari who's in baghdad and dall. so just paint the picture for us. where are you right now? what's happening there? well oh, so hale, i'm standing still within the grounds of the parliament building bed behind me is there one of the entrances to the official building which as of an hour ago has

been completely evacuated by officials here at the orders of adults. other, we were told that we are not allowed to go inside and they don't know when they will re open the door. so what you're looking at right now, the crowds are moving towards an area outside these grounds, which is across the street where they will be holding friday prayers in about 45 minutes. they were told to come out to. c join friday, prayer services here by most other all sudden himself who has said that he is looking for a real change in this country, but not only to the political system, but also to how the country is run and governed. we also understand over the past hour the head of the united nation special mission to iraq has been meeting with my father. i'll sather in his home. and now jeff, we understand that jeanine placard has been meeting with the shia cleric to speak

about how to move forward and ways of solving this current crisis. this really indicates that to this issue is that political crisis that we're seeing here is not just about the iraqi people. there are other people that are also concerned about what is taking place. you will see these people that are sitting outside in these tense to get away from this heat. it's about 50 degrees right now. they have been here for days. they moved into this air compound on saturday, saying that said they don't accept the current legislation. legislative body in parliament because they feared that the nomination of mohammed, she also donnie by the coordination framework, which is a group of iranian backed shia he is in parliament is something that they do not accept. so they occupy this building and this compound, to prevent parliament from having a session to nominate to donnie. now what happens next?

we're waiting to find out whether or not they'll be allowed to go back in to continue to sit in, or they will say outside in the surrounding areas. what is clear is that this political profile paralysis is really hurting the country on all levels economically. and we see it in people's daily lives. many ordinary iraqis who are not taking part in these demonstrations say that the country's economy is at a freefall. they haven't had a functioning government for nearly 10 months since that how to election last october. and now there are says he wants new elections held and that the current parliament should be dissolved. the opposition is saying that we need to have a constitutional framework for doing so. and that is why they need to sit down and talk to each other. federal southern says that any kind of dialogue you've had in the past has not resulted in any kind of answers that he's looking for and that the court system is just corrupt. what will happen next? we'll have to wait and see, but i think today will be a good indication in the next few hours of what we can expect to come. i will

continue to monitor the situation with you just as you probably the 4th in baghdad . well, still a had here thought i'll reserve the wives of ukrainian fight as a calling for their release and more information after a missile strike that killed 50 prisoners of war. also denmark's government, placing questions as it tries to get rid of areas that it calls ghettos. critic say the move is racist. ah, the journey has begun. the faithful world cup is on its way to cattle book your travel package to death. let's get going with your weather update for europe in africa. everyone. so here is what we're looking at on friday. the heat has been flushed out of germany. we now find it running through that check republican austria right through into the balkans. by the way, the dark of the red, the high, the temperature. let's talk about precipitation. so we've got some showers and

storms sweep in germany. that's where the lower temperatures their rate through into the alpine region. now for turkey is stan ball. it's at saint cloud combo for you. me see a shower, sneak in here with the have 31 degrees, but the better bet for the showers will be a long turkey's black sea coast. other side of the mediterranean right now, lot of sunshine to go around. but we've got some winds off the beer biscayne that's going to give us some moisture for northern spain. so again, that line of showers and thunderstorms we can trace from northern finland rate through to denmark and to germany. again, that's what's lower the temperature is there in tampa says i have $26.00 degrees are temperatures will shoot up in the days to come non stop rain for about 30 hours in northern nigeria, triggered some flooding, killing at least 7 people there. and as with side toward southern africa, you know, not much to report here. plenty of sign, including for durbin, with a hive $24.00 degrees on friday. that's it. we'll see soon, official airline of the journey. olivia,

like everywhere, connectivity is paramount. and yet for infrastructure and dependence on foreign corporations to many remain offline. now, a politician and tech activists are building a home grown solution to connect with the nations technological sovereignty. ah rebel geeks, the citizens network on audio. ah, ah ah, welcome back. you're watching a dessert with me, so hello, robin doha,

reminder of our top stories, the u. s. secretary of state antony blinking, has condemned chinese military exercises in the taiwan strait. he call them a major escalation worn. they could destabilized the wider region. the drills were launched in response to a visit to taiwan this week by the us house beacon nancy pelosi, which has angered beijing. china's foreign minister has warmed the u. s. will face consequences as a result. iraq, she at political leader with data al serra has called on his supporters to observe friday prayers on a square inside. baghdad. green zone is followers have been occupying parliament, which is inside the fortified area. for several days. the united states has declared a public health emergency to deal with a monkey pox outbreak. the number of reported cases is said to be doubling every week. now this declaration means more money and facilities will be available to fight the virus. but there are concerns of vaccines are running out. there are more

than $6600.00 monkey pox infections in the us are in sorrow is director of the elizabeth our griffin biosafety program at georgetown university. and she says that the need for greater education about the virus. i think one of the big things that we need as a public health community, and as just a general community is to think about risk communication for exposure. it needs to be clear and it needs to be non stigmatizing. and so while this outbreak began in men who predominantly have sex with men, it and it spread from there, it could have easily broken down any type of population of individuals. right now it is not time to panic, but it's for education and awareness. so this is a pathogen that we have been able to do research on, we have the vaccines, we do have kind of measures antivirals that are effective. the pros, i, i guess i could say to this virus is that there's a longer incubation period. so when we identify cases,

we can treat them and identify close contacts and vaccinate those individual. so we can actually really continue to spread much more effectively than something like code that transmits very, very quickly. the kid, the cases themselves are self limiting. so typically people recover within 2 to 4 weeks. and really the, the key here is preventing transmission to more even vulnerable populations, those that are immunocompromised, pregnant women and children. and so that the key here is really being able to increase our ability to openly reports and detect cases how point of care testing at health care facilities. and that is going to be a rate limiting step. i think both here in the us and abroad. and being able then to get the proper treatment to those. indeed, it is. central bankers raise its key lending rate by half a percentage point to for to cub spiraling inflation is the 3rd increase in the past 4 months. so to call them to say, it won't be the last this year,

a fall in the rupees value is making to food and medicine more expensive. the government says the war in ukraine is partly to blame. 3 more cargo ships, dated grain have left ukrainian ports on the black sea. now they are carrying a total of about $58000.00 tons of cold water is headed to island the other to the u. k. and the turkey, all 3 will be inspected off the coast near the bowl as part of the grain export deal, brokers by the u. n. and turkey. ukraine economy ministers says the d o should now be extended to cover more than just grain the you and is also preparing to send a fact finding mission to a prison complex in ukraine's dumbass region, which shall thus friday, at least 50 prisoners of war were killed both russia and ukraine accuse each other attacking the facility the prison was holding members of ukraine's famed as of regiment john 100 as well, from keith for uli

a fetish shook time stands still. she spoke to her husband are sydney as he was about to surrender to russian forces after he was ordered to abandon the last post and married the famed as all regiment had held the city for months in a steel plant. in one of the wars most dramatic standoff, i spent my husband there when as a regiment was surrounded, actually she called me and the people that service him to the kate. but it was not at that time because they were on the back of you bombs. he called again, briefly twice from all in a prison in eastern ukraine. then last friday, the prison erupted in flames, killing more than 50 soldiers. russia said it was a ukrainian missile strike. ukraine said russia blew up the prison to hide the torture of ukraine's most legendary fighting force. do you know he's a lot?

definitely. no. because i can only 1000. he's not in the list of that soldiers which was posted by russians bought this as least this not verified by, by ukrainian government. so i know i'm wondering actually me on thursday in key. the families of the, as of regiment called for their release on the sign says miriam pole, the last stand to be as regimen. and julia is here together with the other families asking for them to come home. the russia has declared the amazon regiment a terrorist organization, russia who use the regiments early association with far right groups. and the use of allegedly nazi related symbols is justification for what it calls the di,

not suffocation of ukraine, current and former as of fighters, reject that assertion or he of the will absorb russia, made as the part of them is elegy, part of their propaganda. because the nice about nazis from myself, that i should put up a gun. they bought dina certification as a reason for so called military ration, falls apart for the families of as of the battle is now there's to carry on. they were fighting for us and they were fighting for us during the 80 years they were defending us. and now we have to do the same thing. now we have to defend them and we have to save them until her husband returns for eulley. a fed issue. the battle of mary a bull never ends. john henderson, al jazeera keith, russian foreign minister sag elaborate, says moscow is ready to discuss prisoner strangers with washington. he made the

comment today after a russian court sentenced american basketball, sombre griner for 9 years in prison, possessing and lugging drugs. the us described the ruling as a miscarriage of justice. washington has proposed a prisoner swamp of greiner and fellow american pull whelan for russian arms data. victor bounce the americans, conspiracy theorist and far right, broadcast, alex jones has lost a defamation case, bought by parents of a child killed in the 2012 sunday hooked massacre. the jury ordered the info was host to pay more than $4000000.00 in damages falsely claiming the school shooting was a hoax. the parents of 6 year old jesse louis said jones as comments lead to years of emotional distress and harassment including death threats. louis was one of 20 children and teachers killed in the attack in connecticut. human rights lawyers are challenging a controversial housing policy in denmark. now the government is enforcing

a no ghettos rule which restricts non western as from living inserted districts. the idea is to keep areas diverse, but the plan is proving to be divisive with critic saying that it's just simply racism under a different name. pull race reports. now from copenhagen, mama osland is a danish citizen. he came to copenhagen from pakistan as a 7 year old. his children were born here in the meal in the park and district, but to drive to abolish cycles. ghettos has led to the danish government, reclassifying citizens along racial lines with the as lamb family now labeled ika vest, liquor non weston. if she lived in the western western county that then you have the full, right. and if you lived in the non western country, then you don't have the same right. nice. a very told what to think about. we can make some kind of law in denmark, in my country. it could be seen as a laudable goal aiming for greater racial integration under reduced crime. but the

problem is how the government plans to do it. setting ethnic quotas for every district in the country. it's possible raft of measures the government has brought into abolish ghettos within the next decade. by then, the aim is for every district in the country to have a population that is at least 70 percent western 80 percent of milner parkins residents from an immigrant background. the danish government can't make people leave areas like milner park and purely on the basis of ethnicity. what it can do is force the housing to be sold off to private investors who then raise the rents. the idea is that mainly western people assumed to be more wealthy will then be able to move back in. but the laws regarding ghettos go further, they include lower welfare payments for people moving into areas on the governments, ghetto list and harsh punishments for criminals in ghetto areas. also a ban on refugees moving into the target to districts. residents are suing the government. oh, even for thank you. in scott,

it's an anti segregation policy centered on social conditions and crime rates would be valid. but we object to removing people from the homes based on ethnicity living positive development in these residential areas. but the measures against them have got more and more intense port complete multiple min dominga minorities find themselves stuck. they move out of one area to lower the number of non westerners but can't move into another area. for the same reason, the government declined our requests for an interview or statement, but as it pushes ahead with the controversial get laws, many people still don't know where they will be housed away. they will be welcome. will it be safe for all send our kids and our generation to live in denmark in the, in the future? no. and white anxiously to see of their voices will count for anything in the country. they always thought of as high, full rece. i'll his era, copenhagen. at least 13 people have dined and a fine at a nightclub in thailand. please interim.
