nations protests when they are addressed by an accused war criminal. ah, hello and welcome to the program is writing forces have stormed the alex, a mosque for a 2nd time on wednesday, firing rubber bullets on palestinian worshippers inside. ah, according to the palestinian right present at least 6 people have been injured. there are also reports as ready forces prevented ambulances from reaching the lions gate of occupied east jerusalem earlier on wednesdays. ready forces, storm, a mosque, and 5 star grenades during ramadan. pres, at least 12 palestinians were injured in vast attack. algiers. natasha gor name has more in this now from occupied east jerusalem. while wednesday began with violence inside is slams 3rd holiest site and it is now concluding with the same scenario.

the police say that i around the time this evening when muslims were completing their final, it's a special prayer. during ramadan. they say juveniles. some masked, some armed with fireworks and stones, went into the mosque as others were praying and attempted to barricade the mosque. preventing people to leave police say there were riots and that is when a rot they're referring to them as rioters began to throw fireworks and stones at them. they're saying that these quote, troublemakers are harming 1st and foremost the muslim public's freedom to pray and that the mosque it was quote desecrated by vandals. there were reports from witnesses inside that sun grenades were, were used a tear gas was thrown. i would say that what we saw happening today was not in any way a surprise for those of us who've covered this issue extensively. on tuesday,

there were calls on social media by hamas and others urging palestinians to go to l ox, a mosque, and quote, defend it from the occupiers. and the reason that this call had gone was going out is because a wednesday is pass over for jews and there was expected during visiting hours for non muslims to be a greater number perhaps of jews of visiting the l ox. a compound was if a borrower who tears sector general of the policy and national initiative, and he says these police writes a diversion from domestic problems in israel. this is the unprecedented that the most would be attacked twice in the same day. people would be injured and deadly people would be tagged, the children and women. and in the morning and now and preventing medical teams

even from reaching them in the process. in the mornings. as rarely troops even destroyed the medical clinic, which is attached to the most for what, what the reason, i think what we see today is a very serious vocation. i will definitely need to solution and maybe this is exactly what this is really government once they want to distract attention from the antenna division for them from the demonstrations that are taking place inside is this government. and they want to grab the whole region into a total total. busy explosion, this is very tedious and it will have a very important consequences all over the palestinian territories. when times of some of the international reaction earlier the patterson, i'm basset to the un said that is there always be held accountable for these police raids on alexa. we are having this press conference to express our outrage and condemnation over the attack by the as 80 forces and the settlers

against shut eve, messed the oxide. and it is the right over the palestinian muslim worshippers to exercise their religious or duties and prayers. in this holy month of ramadan, and in any other time in this sir, holy, her ox are mosque. and they are, the israeli occupying authorities has no right whatsoever ever to tell people when to pray and when not to pray. whether they want to be inside a lock, some oscar 24 hours or 5 hours or 10 hours. this is the exclusive right of the palestinian muslims and their friends muslims, to practice or their religious traditions. in this place alone,

the arab league will hold an emergency meeting to discuss the violence has some zach, his assistant secretary general of the arab league and says, palestinians are in need of protection. is a very tense situation and we not only of course, condemn it and we lay the blame totally and squarely on the israeli government. this is a political organization. we can do political and diplomatic work and this is exactly what you're set up to do. we are going to work politically and diplomatically to expose what israel has been doing. it's not that we need another accused from the israeli occupation forces to storm in the i like some mosque they. they never run out of excuses. they always tell you that there would be youth barricading, i'm asking guns and so on. that's. that's that we've heard it so many times. it's,

it is almost irrelevant at this point. this is a government that is bent on harming the palestinian population on using all sorts of violence and extreme course in order to make them comply with its way. and it's not going to happen. we know it's not going to happen . anyone who has this knowledge about the situation would have told you a month ago, 2 months ago, that in ramadan things are going to pair up. because in ramadan they use a maximum force. and the palestinians who come to the mosque to pray are now going to take this force all that peacefully. so it's going to be there. we're going to be fetches. ah, well, in the 1st meeting of its kind since the us ended diplomatic relations with taiwan

in 1979 us house because kevin mccarthy has sat down with the tie when he's president site. and when the los angeles, it's a move that's drawn threats of retaliation from china, as well as mac seats. i also met a group of more than a dozen members of congress from both parties. china sees the meeting as a show of support for taiwan independence and a violation of the one china principal. an official at china's embassy in washington, said it could lead to another series confrontation in china us relationship. while the foreign ministry said it would resolutely defend that chinese sovereignty will taiwan said on wednesday, the detective, 14 chinese military plains and 3 military vessels near the island. sy has just returned from a trip to central america, where she visited guatemala and believes 2 of taiwan, few remaining diplomatic part is in the region. last month on, do i switched its ties from taiwan to china? i believe our bond is stronger now than at any time

a point in my lifetime. and of course, the president is a great champion of that bond. the friendship between the people of taiwan and america as a matter of profound importance to the free world. and it is critical to maintain even freedom, peace and regional stability. it has no secret that today the piece that we have maintained and the democracy which have worked hard to build up facing president, challenges we once again 5 ourselves in the world what democracy is under threat. and the urgency of keeping the beacon of freedom shining cannot be under stated. i'll just here is rosalind jordan has more than the story now. she's reporting from washington. this meeting is

a part of the dance that official washington engages in with beijing when it comes to the matter of taiwan. back in 1979 when the u. s. and china normalized relations, part of the requirement on washington's part was to give up diplomatic ties to ty pay. and so the visit of the taiwanese president of high and one is an unofficial transit as words, not even a visit in diplomatic terms to the united states. that said, members of the us congress, both republican and democratic, have been eager to show their support for ty wants political independence, as well as showing support for any military support that it may want. now that is something to that divide, that ministration has been willing to provide a sub right now. the current proposal of some $10000000000.00, the military support over the next 5 years. and that's probably something that the

buy that ministration will be able to provide with cooperation from congress. and actually in the last few minutes has been some reaction from china to these developments as spokes person from the foreign ministry saying that family opposes in strongly condemned. this meeting in california, they vowed a resolute response. well, i spoke to shadi rigor a professor of political science at davidson college and author of the book why taiwan matters. she says that the taiwanese president was trying to minimize of provocation with china cheeriness, visit the last the way that this particular visit are transit was arranged, was aimed at giving, begging a little bit less to be worried about or to complain about than previous episodes have done so in particular having residents high meet speaker mccarthy in the u. s. as part of something that's actually pretty routine. she's made 6 of

these trips before during her presidency rather than reprising. the events of last summer when speaker pelosi went to taiwan, which was something that had not been done before. i think that was aimed at reducing beijing's reactivity in this situation. that's not to say they won't react because for the p r c, it's very important to show strength and, and to demonstrate their dislike for this kind of event. but i think the taiwanese, at least we're trying to minimize the provocation in this instance. when all the developments, the french president manual macro insist that china could play a key role in peace negotiations between russia and ukraine. the french leader is on a 3 day state visit to beijing for the 1st time in 4 years. will be joined by you commission president. us live on the line macro will meet president. she ging ping on thursday

. the na buckley has more on us to that $200.00. how many do bob? this is emmanuel microns 1st visit to china in 4 years. with the aim, he says of engaging beijing toward a shared responsibility for peace and stability. china says it's seeking to play a mediating role between russia and ukraine. some western powers fear b gene main stead, be preparing to sent arms to moscow motto. but the french president says he doesn't believe china wants a lasting war in europe. issues the more hope was him on the china has proposed a piece plan and we have woke him bit. but do we agree with it in its entirety, though? but it is interesting and it shows willingness to commit to resolving the conflict . i hope to be able to participate in initiatives that are useful to the ukrainian population involving macro. and she will also discuss development of bilateral

relations and boosting economic ties. in that to present micron is charting a different course in washington. the talk is increasingly about decoupling from china's economy and the european commission. president ursula vander line, sat to join, micron and beijing spoke last week about di, risking europe's business connections with china while still calling for sustained relations. the trip has been welcomed by china's business community fargo told michael and i look upon thought shonda bolton. i think this visit can further promotions strengthen. trade between the 2 countries. art and the era of globalization and interdependence to our european leaders and not in favor of decoupling ties and want to continue strengthening corporation with china. ash, old mccullough? oh, at a time when the u. s. is taking it's tougher stance on baking. every new wants of

beast talks will be watched closely. lena barclay and jose eda or nato has won china against sending lethal a to russia, saying that such a move would have profound consequences. h o foreman is met for a 2nd day in brussels. we've been discussing defense spending the war in ukraine and by james, rising in foot in the endo pacific sector general against oldenburg said it would be a historic mistake if china provides weapons and ammunition to russia. meanwhile, the acquainting president what amiss, lensky has been awarded. poland high, a civilian honor, during his official visit to warsaw, he thanked the neighboring nation for its support since the russian invasion. lensky says, ukraine wants poland to become a critical partner in his country's reconstruction efforts. when the war ends. poland is housing more than a 1000000 ukraine. refugees. alger there is jona hall is reporting now from cave. what is come at the invitation of the polish presidency? a full state occasion pump and pageantry,

as you probably seeing in the pictures there. and as president zalinski awarded the highest state honor in the company of his wife, atlanta. so, you know, certainly one aspect of this is that this is a broadening, a deepening of a very close alliance. they weren't always close allies, of course, between these 2 neighbors. potent has been hugely instrumental in coalescing european support behind ukraine taking in all those refugees to ukraine. once all of that, to continue, there is another aspect to it, which is taking the opportunity perhaps to just pay for over a couple of very small cracks beginning to show in the lives before they become any more divisive, notably, the flow of cheap ukrainian grain into the european union into poland in particular, terrace, great. and bringing the price of grain down and upsetting domestic producers. domestic farm is in a number of countries. indeed ponies. pharmacist threatened to try and disrupt this visit. they haven't done so yet. but during the course of the morning,

the polish agriculture minister resigned in protest at the european commissions decision to continue to allow cody ukrainian grading terrorist free all the way through 2024. so, you know, it is an issue of concern. it is a small crack, but they will be a deep interest in making sure these divisions don't grow in with algiers, their life from london will sell to bring you on the program scottish national policy under investigation. the former 1st minute says husband is arrested and released the climate change baby boom white global warming is helping these tuttle come out of their shells. ah, ah hallo got some pretty wet weather. severe storms rolling towards the east side of australia just for the start of the east that we can,
