now they've taken dangerous acts to a new love. united states is conveyed to the p r c consistently and repeatedly that we do not speak and will not provoke a crisis call should go out. no one country and no force should ever imagine that they can separate taiwan from china, hutch with 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 the mega trend of tyrants unification with the chinese mainland, the u. s. there, all the consequences arising from this far from that closely as him to pen with more. he has been more forceful and more firm in his comments 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 tie one 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 restrained and the tie ones 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 there 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 part, has been defending its actions. chinese foreign minister, 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 there

you have it, china and the u. s. to very opposing views on, on the actions taken in the taiwan strait. and they've not sat down at a meeting to discuss that differences. but instead of held separate press conferences, reinstating really reaffirming their positions. china is announced on specified sanctions on muncie plays in her immediate family, in response to her visit to taiwan, patrick for cause war on beijing's reaction. john responded to criticism over its military actions and in particular criticism coming from the group of 7 nations. the foreign ministry said that if the u. s. and side kicks truly cared about regional peace and stability, then it should have warned the u. s. and persuaded that not to go ahead with his visits in the 1st place and then also said that if it truly cad, then it wouldn't be making these vocal reactions now about china's overreaction successes watching also said that the counter measures were justified because this

is about china's sovereign territory integrity and the measures were also a staunch commitment to regional patients debility china, summons of japan's ambassador as well as europeans, the mass of the g 7 and you, nation's issued statements expressing concern over china's military threats. and beijing also seems to shrug golf toko purchase stations over ballistic missiles which landed in japan's exclusive economic zone. meantime, china's continue to keep up the pressure on slide one. there were aircraft and war ships, which once again crossed over the median line of the taiwan strait. also reports of the cyber attacks, as well as reports of measures being taken against a taiwanese i phone assembler, the based in china. so i was defense ministry says multiple chinese naval ships and aircraft across the taiwan strait. median line on friday morning type. he says the

islands military is preparing for combat readiness and has dispatched aircraft ships and land based massage systems. but it says it's not asking for wall where turned out i would like to emphasize that we will not escalate conflicts or provoke disputes, but we will firmly defend our sovereignty and national security and stick to the line of defense of democracy and freedom. the vehicle pollen is the international editor of taiwan plus she says, type is taking chinese military drills seriously. the general message here is stay calm. 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 reach 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 water. is that media 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 they were not too concerned about those because those did not fall into time once waters and said, fell into japan's waters in japan. of course it's lodge 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. the japan says 5 ballistic missiles fired by china london in it's exclusive economic zone. calling the incident unprecedented, took her social, a diplomatic protest. us house because unsecured, lucy is concluding her told of asia in japan where she defended her decision to

evacuated about an hour and a half ago, at lighting the security forces and the doors have been locked. all the people are outside now under making their way to the area outside of this compound that belongs to the current government. to take part in friday prayers. now, what happens next? we don't know. we've been asking the officials here. whether not they'll re open the door to the parliament. they say they don't know yet. they don't have any orders at this stage. you can see that people that have poured out now and are walking towards the exit of this compound. this all comes after and looked at, they're also there and said that he wants this demonstration to continue. and he urged all iraqis, regardless of their fax to take part in this demonstration, because he said this is a quiet revolution. what he's asking for is a resident did dissolve of parliament and that you elections be held out the other side of the and piece of parliament, the series of coalitions that have been formed since the elections that were

healthier last october, mainly the coordination from work that is a group of sheer parties and have said that they need to 1st elect a new prime minister and that, and there needs to be a change to the electra laws before they can call a new election. it is not just something that can happen without a constitutional framework or constitutional or legal reason. what we do know is that the numbers here keep growing. they've been, demonstrators have come from all over the country. we've spoken to people that i've traveled here from the most southern part of iraq, that is basrah 2 or other regions as well. they say they're here as long as they are needed and they will heat the call by most other us, other to say as long as it's needed. dalso, thank you. will lance, the position outside parliament as cross over to my mood. abdulla had twos in a different location, very close to you might say, all of the action people behind you, all study gathering in large numbers. definitely

said hale, as you can see right behind me, thousands, maybe even tens of thousands. these are supporters of she i, the leader looked at her, a southern div come from at several cities across iraq to perform the unified mass congregation at friday. prayers at this, their prayers is dedicated to re, to rate their demands. again, encourage it by a televised statement or delivered by their leader them off to the southern ah, 2 days ago. now these protested to say that they will not leave lit the area after performing the unified friday price. they will, they will finish the friday prayers, which will start at in about 10 minutes from now. and then after they finish the worst, they will continue praying here for about one hour and then after that, some of them will go back to their cities and some others will remain here to join

their colleagues who are besieging the parliament. headquartered or compound are sitting up tents, and there are just sitting up tents in front of the main gate of the head quarter of the apartment. now these brought us, as we have been speaking to some of them, they say that they will not back off day, they are just waiting for instructions for from their lead it whatever they are, whatever they are directed by their leader. they will definitely go and they'll have been encouraged by his latest to the vice statement in which he encouraged them. he urged them to continue the sit in until their demands are met and he suggested dissolving the koran to parliament and holding it early. a general elections as a way out of this political let died a lock. now friday, prayers, friday congregation praises. it glitches up, right? religious ritual. but it has been all,

it has been always used. it has been all those function on, by a sudden, and his supporters to deliver their messages to convey their messages at, remember at 3 weeks ago, they did the same here in baghdad to up in a sudden city it, that's one of the towns belonging to a fellow named after selling himself and bought that and dead and then back then they also the preacher was reiterating the demands of another that is foot on their court that this debt did is ignatius of 73 a. so that affiliated the lawmakers from the parliament following their clinic in a state mate and the railing of forming the government because of the political rivalries between the r a valid parliamentary blocks. so again, friday, prayers being used by a southern his supporters to convey their messages. they will continue here even after the friday prayers. they will join their colleagues who are camping in and

outside the parliament had quoted unless and until they get instructions to act otherwise from their leader to move to the us other moment ago had been in baghdad . thank you. so still had here all al jazeera, done, most government facing questions because it tries to get rid of areas that it calls gatos. critics say the move is racist. plus india central bank raises interest rates for the 3rd time in 4 months. those stories after the break. ah, it's been soggy for australia's capital territory. everyone hears the proof by the numbers camber us scooping up $44.00 millimeters of rain over 24 hours. that's a months worth of rain. but another way to put it is, this was the what is august,

stay in nearly half is centuries. so there is a legacy of cloud cover and showers still dancing around this area. but the good news is this fierce winds across southern australia have now died down off to the other side of that tasman, we've got this vigorous weather front, sliding across the south island, blanketed in weather alerts for both the rain and wind. so i think worst case scenario when gas up to a 120 kilometers per hour, and about 90 millimeters of rain, se asia, and let's focus on the philippines. rain is really being stared, steered into the country here. so if we go in for a closer local pick up the story there, especially around manila, we've got some severe flood advisories in play, the dark or the color here, the more intense the rain is falling. speaking of intense rain over the past 24 hours hong kong has picked up about a 100 millimeters of rain that was a tropical depression and still more rain to go on saturday. and things are slightly drying off across japan. tokyo's got

look about your children with me. so robin a reminder of our top stories, the u. s. secretary of state antony blinking. that's condemned chinese military exercises in the taiwan strait. we call them a major escalation and wall they could destabilized the why to region. the drills are launched in response to a visit to tie one this week by us house speaker, nancy pelosi, which is and get beijing, china's foreign minister as wall the u. s. will face consequences as a result iraq, she had political liter, but that also has called on supporters to observe friday press on a square inside baghdad, screen zone. his followers have been occupying parliament, which is inside the fortified area. the several days india's central bank has raised its key lending rate by half of one percentage point in an effort to curb spiraling inflation. it's the 3rd increase in the last 4 months, and economists say,

predominantly have sex with men, it could 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 contain a 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 to 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, 3 more call the ship started with grain have left you quite impulse on the black sea carrying a total of about $58000.00 tons of coal. and i was headed to ireland, although that's the kind of the turkey, all 3 will be inspected off the coast. stumble was part of the great export field, broken by the u, as in turkey, ukraine's economy minister says the deal should now be extended to cover, mold and grain. russian foreign minister, 2nd lateral says moscow was ready to discuss prisoner exchanges with washington through diplomatic channels. the commons, the day after a russian cold sentenced american basketball stopped brittany greiner to 9 years in prison for possessing uns drug smuggling. your secretary of state antony blinkin

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 mil to parkins residence, or 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 law regarding getters 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 districts. residents are suing the government. oh, even for thank you, erica. 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. they've been positive development in these residential areas, but the measures against them have got more and more intense ports to a complete winnable 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 ghetto laws, many people still don't know where they will be housed or where they will be. welcome. will it be safe for us and our kids and our generation to live in denmark in the, in the future, north and white anxiously to see of their voices will count for anything in the country. they always thought of as home full, reese, l. his era, copenhagen, the american conspiracy theorist in the far right broadcast and alex jones has lost a defamation case, brought by the parents of a child killed in the 2012 sandy hook massacre. a jury ordered the info walls hose to pay more than $4000000.00 in damages of falsity,
