blue sheets. good. humming international anti corruption excellence award. bought now for your hero. blue u. s. politicians visit parliament's anti pay as china carries out more live $5.00 military drills near tie one. ah, hello there i miss darcy. attain this is al jazeera live from dough. also coming up, china cuts interest rates with factory and retail sector, squeezed by it's 0 coven policy, and a property crisis. oh morning,

the dead funerals are held for some of the 41 victims. the fire at a church in egypt. ah, and prime minister rend remote promises to turn india into a developed country in the next 25 years as it celebrates 75 years of independence . ah, no, china's defense ministry says beijing is ready to quote, smash any foreign interference. it's also called the u. s. saboteurs in response to an american congressional delegation visit to taipei. beijing carried out more live fine military exercises near the island on monday. it says the trip to taiwan by american politicians exposes the u. s as a spoiler of peace and stability in the taiwan strait. just days after house peak in nancy pelosi, his visit to the island may thank you mit. she will try again to joshua. these

delegation led by us. the marquis has insisted on visiting. that's why one region of china and disregard are trying to position this blazingly violates the one china principal. it violates china sovereignty and territorial integrity and sends erroneous signals tie one independent separatist forces. i mean, well, taiwan says it will not be deterred by china's response to visit spy foreign political figures. thanks again. didn't sound until this time is of great significance because the chinese military exercises to deter us congressmen from visiting taiwan. there is, it also proves that china cannot stop politicians from any country to visit taiwan . and it also conveys an important message that the american people stand with the taiwanese people. janice patrick sock, has won our foundation. the lot of people might have expected would happen. the eastern thing to come on has now announced a new round of drills around the taiwan strait. that announcement was accompanied

by some pretty forceful language as well, with a military saying that it would resolutely smash any foreign interference. i also reiterated a point that was made by the chinese embassy in washington, which was to say that the visit expose the true face of the u. s. as a troublemaker and sabbath of peace and stability in the taiwan strait. we don't know an awful lot about the nature of this round of combat drills or how long it all might last. but it is worth noting that the exercises which are extended in the wake of nancy pelosi, his visits had toned down in recent days. but they hadn't ceased altogether, and ty wants defense ministry said the 11 chinese that crawford crossed over into his defence. on sunday, the foreman's re here invasion was also question about the visit earlier and spoke bus 11 been reiterated. the one china principal was the political foundation of time between china, the u. s. and the development of bilateral relations of the urge washington to stop

fudging or hollowing out the one china principal. he also accused some us politicians of colluding with taiwanese separatists. and as attempts to challenge the one china principal, he said that they were doomed to fail and that they were overestimating themselves . well, meanwhile, china central bank has trend interest rates to boost economic growth. new figures show industrial output grew just a 3.8 percent in july. that's lower than expected. retail sales of flowed investment and property has dropped. the rate can't suggest the government believe it can't achieve its growth targets this year of 5.5 percent. when it's bring in andrew calia, he's the managing director at orient capital without you doing this now, by scott from hong kong under is this amendment for beijing to readjusted expectations? was really a surprise? well, the re cut was a surprise because most people felt the given rising inflation and the fact that interest rates are rising in the you and your united states and drawing investment

out of china that the central bank would not go so far as to kind of rates, but they did do that. they really indicate the real sense of, i don't know one of a panic, but a concerns in the leadership about the lack of growth in the economy. given all of that, might any of this cause a rethink of trying to 0 private policies? you think? i don't think so because there's a because the country failed to vaccinate its population and refuse to accept foreign back scenes. they're behind the curve when it comes to vax vaccinations and their hospital capacity is not adequate enough in case of a widespread coded transmission. so, and given the she didn't pings the party meeting when you will be elected to an unprecedented 3rd term. i don't think they're going to back away from that anytime soon. well, how much then has the best thing, property bubble contributed to all this? well, the bursting property bubble is, is, is, is the biggest millstone around china's neck. essentially that it's something like

25 to 30 percent of g d p and it looks like people protesting mortgages and lack of investment property industry. it's a bigger problem. the only thing i can say is that there's the august data of the frequency data from august shows that some port exports are still are picking up steel and concrete sales. surprisingly we're picking up even though the property market is getting less investment. so we'll have to see if there's might be some modest, very modest turnaround and august. you mentioned there are alluded to things unprecedented 3rd time. do you think that any of this might have political ramifications for him? he seems very willing to accept a severe contraction than the economy in order to achieve his goals of strengthening the hand of the party. and also beating back cobit, he doesn't seem overly concerned by the impact on the economy as long as we can keep. make sure the protest don't erupt nationally. we've had isolated property

protests, but not national. what do you think a rate cut the one that we've seen? will that be enough? i don't think so because in fact they've been throwing a lot of money in the problem. the banks have access capacity to lead, but a lot of bar borrowers don't want to borrow because they see that the opportunities to investor very are shrinking. in fact, there's a lot of downturn in the economy that's turning people away under this downtown, and the economy is also contributed to use on employment. the highest on record, i believe nearly 20 percent. that can obviously be a vicious cycle. so when it comes to consumption, yes, what consumption is something that she didn't things with talking about for a while of rebalancing the economy away from fix investment and property investment towards consult ocean. but in fact, he's done very little to do to do to achieve this goal. because the share of the economy going to the industrial sector remains quite high. and people's incomes are dropping with the property declines. that means that their wealth effect means that

the feel like that bus money. so yes, it's a, it's a huge concern. but the chinese economy is not in a position that hasn't been in a position to, to re balance to the consumer. and i don't see any evidence of that occurring now. interesting times we'll continue watching very closely here and there. andrew calia, the managing director at orient capital research. great. can you insights on out there? thanks for joining now. signals have been held in jesus city and grace, a cairo for at least 41 people who died after a fire to copy a christian church on sunday. an electrical fire started on the 2nd floor of the building during mass thousands of worship, as were trapped causing a stampede. sanders raphi has been o victims of the fire that killed dozens of people at a church. in gisele have been laid to rough, how the community looked shocked by the seemingly senseless death.

was taken by the israeli forces at one. he was critically injured. the bodies still we're so as far as we're concerned here, there is no funeral yet because the body is still with these really forces. you can see there are difficult scenes, palestinians say that israel is killing palestinians in cold blood, just because they can with hurts from the foreign ministry, saying that this is a mafia style execution. it was condemned. you have heard from palestinian officials calling for an urgent investigation. need eva him there with all the latest for us from occupied east harrison. thank you. need a now celebrations are being held across india and to mark 75 years of independence. prime minister and ramadi addressed the nation from the historic red force in new delhi. large crowds are also expected at a ceremony at the atari walker border with pakistan. the end of british rule in
