elsewhere, israeli forces confronted palestinian protest is denouncing the earlier violence. wow. i think what we see today is a very serious but a vocation. it will definitely need to ice collision and maybe this is exactly what this is early government was. they want to distract attention from the internal division for them from the demonstrations that are taking place inside israel and is this government. and they want to grab the horn region into a total total. busy explosion ah, earlier on wednesday israeli forces stormed the mosque and fide stung grenades during ramadan. prayers ah, the accused worshippers of barricading themselves inside o video showed women and children crying for help is as rarely false as beat worshippers with battens that resulted in at least 12 palestinians being injured. more than 400 others were arrested. islam stood wholly as sight is once again at

os they. they never run out of excuses. they always tell you that there would be youth barricading, messing guns and so on. that's. that's that we've heard it so many times. 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 complied with this. 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 fascist. frances president says, china could play a key role and peace negotiations between russia and ukraine. menu, mac crone is on a 3 day state visit to beijing, where he's holding talks with chinese premier lee chung across will made president . she's paying later on thursday. lina enclave has more, do not tunzia this homemade involved. this is a manual 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 rule between russia and ukraine. oh, some western powers fear bay. jean may instead he preparing to sent arms to moscow in october. but the french president says he doesn't believe china wants a lasting war in europe. english, the law hope was invalid, the china has proposed

a peace plan and we have welcomed it. 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 said 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 that brooklyn, i think this visit can further promotion strength and trade between the 2 countries

. art and the era of globalization and interdependence. in our european leaders are not in favor of decoupling ties and want to continue strengthening corporation with china or shawn mccullor good at a time when the u. s. is taking its tougher stance on baking. every nuance of these talks will be watched closely. lena barclay and jose eda. well let's bring in brian wong. he is a rhodes scholar and geo political adviser. he joins us from hong kong. thank you very much for being on al jazeera. first of all, how delicate balance is this for mac, ron? pushing for stronger economic ties, while at the same time trying to warn china not to side with russia when it comes to the board, you cry and how does he manage that balance? thank you very much for having me. and i would say that actually mcroy is struggling to sets of delicate balances. the 1st it is as you note, that the economic attempts at establishing deepening ties and also receiving trade

relations in the aftermath of coded. that's certainly an objective that mcroy has on the table and yet the extent to which would inevitably be colored by or diluted by the broader geopolitical friction remains to be seen. and one could only hope for an optimistic that in mccord would be able to navigate some sort of 10 benches balance in rhetoric and also substantively pushing forward i guess better policies on the ground, despite remaining rhetorically committed to i suppose, a more cautious recalibration in european policy towards china and the 2nd struggle that he must also consider its french national interest versus the broad interest of europe as the flags. he's coming on a trip alongside the commission president, us live on delayed and this is a signal that france does not want to be in a separate decoupled form. and if anything would like to play a leading role in steering process policy towards china, does it clear animation of european identity there? and yet, how mccord can balance against the growing and rising pies of sinus skepticism

amongst many of the members in european, in europe in union, that's again a delicate balance. she must navigate with care and prudence. do you think you'll be able to do all of that in a 3 day trip? i don't think you'd be able to do all of that, but i certainly think you can make some promising progress in headway in 2 distinctive ways. what does that look like shoring started? and what does that, what does that look like at the end of this trip? i think that looks like essentially, firstly, an affirmation that china would remain fundamentally committed to not supplying legal aid in ministry arms and equipment to russia. but also an attempt to broker a sort of medium to long time sci fi and piece talk schedule, and not comments in the form of effectively outlining expectations as to where and when and with what agenda items in my, in these piece talks are g to be carried out and conducted in the medium to long term horizon, but i don't see any immediate breakthrough. there's likely simply colds.

geopolitical environment, that large favorite sine, american relation remain fraught and clearly deepening trust and also strategic independence when it comes to china, russia and other members of the brick from nations and central asia at large. so i do not see, you know, sort of this the stay thornton breakthrough. it's likely. yeah. we saw president she meet with lead him person. not that long ago and put forward the china is peace plan to try and in the war in ukraine. what sort of role? i mean, how realistic do you think it is that china will play a significant pardon, negotiating any future pace? so i think 2 things essentially on the 1st that china is definitely keen on establishing, you know, a clearer presence and more vocal presence. in neutrality and positivism, on surface and the piece plot, firms, you know, effectively, it's ploy to play to the global south. and also it's affirmation of not being

interventionist and not taking sides. and yet in practice, the real question and challenge for china is bursley, will it be able to convince the ukraine it is a good faith that is willing to indeed negotiate and mediate in an even handed manner. and secondly, with the european union, especially to countries that currently wavering and more critical of china's role and presence, be willing to come on board that very process of mediation and talk it out. would you crate and we're not the white house reciprocate, is again the determining factor. and that's also a fact so that china has to bear in mind and caution against that seek to set god rouse inside the american relation. one of the cool objectives of that too, is to get america at least not object on to actively oppose its efforts that attempt to broker a china favorable or more broadly speaking, global south favorable piece package over ukraine. and not to me is a vital question that okay, we'll have to leave it there. thank you so much for your time and your inside that is brian wong, a geo political advisor in hong kong. thank you. thank you. bye much.

where china has reacted angrily to the meeting between the us, how speaker and the taiwanese leader, beijing as calling the 1st such meeting of its kind on us soil and 40 gears as an act of collusion and is warning of a resolute response given. mcafee mit president, sighing when in california china claims self ruled taiwan as its territory. mike, hannah reports the meeting, began with a handshake. one that's likely to infuriate a chinese government vehemently opposed to any official us recognition of taiwan. more than a dozen us lawmakers accompanied speaker kevin mccarthy, signaling that congressional support taiwan is completely bipartisan. this is not a republican or democrat. this is a bipartisan meeting of members of congress who are honored to spend some time with

hair to demonstrate against what they say is growing police violence in the demonstrations. there was so much police violence sharing the elevate movement, and then ping theme to get better. but now it's really about again, they just want to stop as protesting to falcons. but this is the sort of violence that the police say they face. a minority of troublemakers who infiltrate some protests and often target officers like this one carried away unconscious by a colleague of to being hit in the head by paving stone. didn't already get easy. these radicalized elements from the ultra laughter trying to hold trade, union demonstrations hostage. they come to break, hurt and kill police officers and john, dom suited their goals, have nothing to do with the pension reform. i found it. okay. but some say it's the government's approach to policing. that's part of the problem later. it's as if the french day doesn't know what to do other than to respond to violence with more

of the stolen data. researches in the you will have tested the ability of artificial intelligence to assess heart function. they compared the performance of an eye algorithm with human cardiologists on a routine diagnosis. and the findings published in the journal. nitrous show, the i did surprisingly well. column baker has more. it takes years to learn to read the human heart. one test cardiologists use called left ventricular ejection fraction or l v e f. shows how well a person's heart is functioning. it shows how well blood is pumping through the left ventricle and whether a patient has had a heart attack or heart failure. it's typically performed by a human snog refer and reviewed by a cardiologist. but researchers at cedars sinai hospital and los angeles had been training an artificial intelligence system to interpret the results. this is a deep learning convolution of neural network that's video based,

as opposed to image based. it's been fed the oregon of 6 to 8 years worth of a co credit grounds from a large hospital. so about a $150.00 k 1000 images. and this allows the model to be very precise and accredited, assessing our function to test the system. researchers took around $3500.00 scans and assigned half to an a i, reader, and half to humans. the results were assessed by cardiologists for more than half of the set. they were unable to tell the difference between the analysis produced by ai and what humans had done. and when looking at the diagnoses that a i generated, they needed less correction, less often as the scans analyzed by humans. in many ways, a i leverages the expertise, wrote great clinicians, but it doesn't take away the, the art of the inside of the actual diagnosis and putting the whole picture together. it's very complementary and very helpful for the clinical workflow.

radiologists are also beginning to use a to detection tools for breast and lung cancer is very good. a finding fine detail and a human would have a lot of time looking for. another aspect that might be very helpful for he's following on something overtime with computers are good at measure and dr. seen human gets bigger or smaller be treatment patients responding to nitric fire change of treatments. doctor say these tools will compliment humans in the clinic, not replace them because at the end of the day they're all tools and they will make what they currently are not perfect, they make mistakes. so you do need that expert radiologists who to make that final decision. and that means doctors could potentially work faster and identify risks more accurately to improve health outcomes for patients. the.
