there is no channel that covers world use like we do. we, we visit places the state al jazeera, really invest in that. and that's a privilege. as a journalist, frank assessment just just means to give them the basic human rights, not only in the camp, but also inside the map, informed opinions. 5 administration are very concerned about this development especially, or what it means for china's power on the world stage. critical debate now only both the legal route or what they see the progress in depth analysis of the days headlines inside story on al jazeera, ah a warning to taiwan china launches 3 days of military drills to in circle the island. offers president met top us officially.

ah, i'm the clog. this is out there alive from dough also come. funeral is underway for an influential russian military blogger that he was killed in a cafe blood lind. tusky was a prominent supporter of the crate or the feeder was being held under tight security. but that hasn't stopped mourners from gathering here at troy. a quarter of sky of cemetery. italian tourist is killed. 5 people injured in a call. write me a check in 10 of you plus coffee, soy in dab with hang on. i'll be telling you why this is destroyed. denver with, ah, so china has large military drills around taiwan. just days after the time

president visited the united states. she met how speak and kevin mccarthy and a moved at anchor bay ging, i pay reported saturday. that's more than 70 chinese jets crossed the median line of the taiwan strait. the unofficial barrier between the 2 sides. chinese state media say the military is rehearsing and encirclement of the self governing island, which beijing sees is a breakaway province. katya lopez holly him. has this report with mr. king this meeting between ty, once president sign one and us officials in taipei has high political implications . on the beer, the government says and needs international support, as threats from china get louder and closer, where this is a young girl who went to me. i would like to reiterate that the people of taiwan loved democracy, seek peace and our team to, for full the responsibility in the international community. china considers taiwan as part of its territory and has not ruled out using force to take it. the u. s. s

. it's ready to expedite weapons sales as an off one of yours many sharon, i saw often or no fear a one. and i found no problem. we will lose weight. now china has launched 3 days of military exercises around taiwan, a response to the taiwanese president meeting earlier this week with us. how speaker kevin mccarthy. ah, ty wants a fighter jets responded with their own drills as fears grow about a possible escalation. that will be interesting to see just exactly how far the chinese are prepared to push this. and if they do stop an inspect ships in the taiwan strait and the tawny side, though, we're not going to comply them as the potential them for that to ascribe into some sort of extend your fart. but china remains defiant. i ran and he pushes him. i mean, when the taiwan issue was not about democracy,

it's an issue concerning china sovereignty and territorial integrity. taiwan is an alias. so part of our country taiwan understands it needs international backing, especially from the united states. the question is whether it will be enough to deter beijing. katya little bits of, again, knowledge 0. well, wendell mc is the military journalist basin taipei, and he believes china will enforce a marin c blockade on taiwan. now these, these exercises both of them in august and the current one are designed to a box to one in sort of a spiderweb. a configuration of air supremacy enables our and the time when these are in a difficult position, they don't really know what to do about this problem. and particularly on the east coast where the navy ships, chinese navy ships are getting very aggressive this is

a eventually will turn into an air and sea blockade at some point in the future. most likely, after the 2024 elections. the chinese will wait to see the cam can get back into power, and if so, they will, they will try to work out an agreement perhaps. if not the d p. p gets back into our big problems when there's a very strange attitude towards his threats. they don't seem to be particularly concerned at the public level. there's no real fear. this is ongoing for decades, and people are quite jaded by. but there is a notable, noticeable increase of us military personnel in taiwan. you can tell that they are us active duty, not just contractors or visiting folks. there are some people down in. gotcha.

now that are primarily here. obviously doing training. i didn't. tusky was one of russia's most influential military bloggers on the war in ukraine. on sunday. he was killed in an explosion at a cafe, which the russian authorities are investigating as an act of terrorism. a large number of his supporters of gathered for his funeral in moscow, which was just wrapped up moments ago. he was then for the vocal support of the invasion of ukraine, a russian investigative arrested and charged 26 year old women in connection with the murder. let's cross now to dosage a bar who's following events until yesterday. the funeral is just complete. her. yes. and the new people that were paying their respects are trickling out of this cemetery, which is about 20 kilometers west of the center of moscow. we also saw the head of the wagner group of getting for goshen. a who was one of the 1st people to pay his

respects to the coffin of the 40 year old flatland r tarkey. at earlier he said that he was a proud, proud member of this deb movement, truly and posthumously has been made a member of the wagner group as well. he was a given a sledge hammer on the coffin, and that was inscribed with his name and thoughts stepped at the wagner group conveyed in their appreciation for the work that he did. we also spoke to a number of people who knew it starsky. one of his closest friends that we spoke to said that this is really a day of celebrating his life. they are not here to really mourn him, but to celebrate his achievements. he's being held as a hero of russia and, and that he wanted one thing and one thing only, and that is for russia to be a victorious in the war in ukraine. we also saw a number of politicians paying their respects at this event, which is heavily, heavily guarded by security forces. there was

a number of barricades as well as metal detectors that have been put up around the cemetery to control the crowds that were coming in. those who would have durgy pover who's been charged to his death. she is the only person so far that has been charged in connection to what officials here call it a terrorist act. as she's 26 year old, native from st. petersburg. she was arrested less than 24 hours after the attack took place on april 2nd in saint petersburg. she has been charged with terrorism and being in possession of explosives. these charges, if she's convicted a could see her as spent the next 20 years in prison. but authorities also believe that this was part at this attack was carried up by what they believed to be an organized group. meaning it could possibly be other suspects they're looking for. for the time being. she has a team of lawyers that are representing her, one of them being daniel berman,

who is also the attorney for that wall street journal reporter who's been arrested on espionage charges. and she is being held in custody in a court in a prison in moscow until at her court proceedings take place at which should be in the next few months or those will live no thanks very much. indeed. adults jibari reporting in the united states politicians from across party lines and calling for the release of the wall street reporter, arrested in russia last week. the democratic and republican leaders of the senate. i've issued a red joint statement condemning evan, gus coverage, his detention. he has pleaded not guilty to charges of espionage. he is the 1st american journalist attained in russia own espionage charges since the end of the cold war. a golden faircloth as the world coverage chief for the wall street journal. and he's denied accusations leveled against evan. a ghost covey, our lawyers were able to meet with him during this past week, and they report that he is in good spirits and good health. we recently hope that's

true. as you were noting earlier, the state department continues to say it's been denied consular access to evan, which is certainly worrying to us. evans, a journalist. and we've been trying to say this is loudly and forcefully as we can . he was out there reporting. that's what he does. he was very passionate about the russia story. thought it was very important for the outside world to be able to hear the voices of russian people and to know and understand what's going on in russia at this moment. and you know, you'll have seen probably the white house press secretary last night tweeted evan, girl of which is not a spine. he has never been a spy. yes, never worked for the us government and the wall street journal also, vehemently can i see legation suggestion? i think we've seen a real creeping criminalization of journalism over the past year in russia,

which is just frightening, frankly, for the folks they are trying to do their jobs. journalists are routinely followed and surveilled on one recent assignment, when, as i was reporting from a town near the russian ukraine border, multiple security officers were following him and, and then would speak to people that evan spoke with. we think in an effort to intimidate at italian tourist has been killed in a car running attack in tell of even israel 5 people were injured. but he said the attacker was a palestinian israeli, who was shot and killed at the same. the attack came hours after 2 british array, israelis were killed in the occupied west bank of the abdul hamid reports now from occupied east jerusalem. and what made a week of escalating tensions in the region is the kind of threat that israeli forces cannot prevent. lone wolf attacks that happen suddenly and randomly this time under waterfront from an ad in television, police or calling it

a combined ramming and shooting attack. in the chase, the court overturned the alleged perpetrator got out, but was killed under spot, a few meters away. bully say the attacker was a 44 years old man, a palestinian israeli from central israel with no criminal record. one italian tourists, a man said to be in his thirty's was killed and several other tourist wounded. i was earlier prime minister benjamin netanyahu and his defense minister when to jordan valley on the site of another similar attack, a palestinian open fire and a car before managing to escape killing 2 sisters. their mother remains in critical condition and hallmark i can only say one thing. our enemies are putting us to the test again. and once again, they will discover even in this test, one that we stand together united, confident in our righteousness. and we will act together with the complete support

of our forces, the i d, f, and the security forces. the prime minister said the man hunt was under way to capture the attacker. in retaliation. jewish settlers fed to the streets in various parts of the occupied westbank. here they are seen harassing palestinians driving near ramallah. do you an effort for humanitarian affairs says that on average, death 3 daily attacks on palestinians or their properties since the beginning of the year. ah, all this comes at a time when there's widespread anger among palestinians, triggered by violent police raids inside out. so most are the spillover threatened to broaden the conflict after barrage of rockets were fired from both lebanon and gaza, and israel carried out airstrikes in retaliation. tensions are still simmering along those borders. shortly after the tel aviv attacked, the prime minister instructed both the police and the army to mobilize all reserve

units. but he's a man who is coming under pressure from many fronts from with is own coalition, where some are calling for offers. then from many israelis who poses attempts to change you do dishes system and from israel closes, allied to us, which in a rare move publicly expressed concern over did usually over hold the man who for so long imposed himself as a tough mister security now limited in his choices, when the others you are in occupied east jerusalem. it's safer mounted yours and run. connie has more, le, for ramallah. well, the near nightly rates still continue across the occupied westbank since the beginning of the year. some 96 people have been killed. 93 of those here in the occupied west bank, but it's the injuries now there was another israeli raid last night in keene

jeanine where to palestinians were injured. the actual number of injuries is astounding. its $2560.00 since the year began its april the 8th. and that really is something now that the palestinians are concerned with the trauma of those who have survived those israeli raids, the types of injuries we're seeing from life. but it's being used like munition from people who would just caught in the crossfire that's becoming increasingly more important for mental health for medical health professionals here in the occupied west bank because that is a huge amount of people that have been injured. so that's really concerning to them . if you're not any piracy and you live in edge, any nablus hebron places like this when night falls, you don't really know what to expect. you think they may well be another israeli raiden of an oftentimes you're right about that. these rates, as i say nightly, so the atmosphere is incredibly tense, but you're also seeing palestinians now wanting to fight back cheering,

attacks like the one that took place in tel aviv out of sheer frustration, frustration about what's been going on in the non occupied by bank his beginning of the year, still a head heron al jazeera abortion rights in the us could go all the way to the supreme court again, as to judges issue opposing rulings. ah, april analysis era. as the war and ukraine moves into the 2nd year, we bring you the latest reports from both sides of the comp to people to experience this one conversation with no has studio be unscripted, seeks to find the common solutions. thousands of brazil's indigenous population will come out in the capital, brazilian drawing attention to land disputes and local concerns in the lead up to

mounting strict a gun controls on to the house floor last week. the removal came off to the country's latest school shooting in nashville. unofficial has this we have become known as the tennessee 33 democrats who loudly argued for gun control in the state . the feast expulsion from the overwhelmingly republican legislature for allegedly breaking rules and decorum too were kicked out. the 2 black lawmaker, vice president come law harris, me the horridly arrange trip to the state, to show support from the biden white house for them under arguments. i didn't think oh you did. i told them he knew their microphones and they, i think, oh, the punishment. the 2 men see was driven by racism. it was a public in political lynching. it was an attempt to humiliate us. but in what they did was really showed for the world and humiliate themselves, that this is not

a democracy that this is, you know, a body that is, is so petty and so weak. and so build on white fragility on march 30th state representatives just and joins. and just and pearson rallied with gun control supporters inside the tennessee house. but then the 2 took their protest onto the chamber floor using a bullhorn to chant no action, no piece. one week later, nearly all but one republican legislator for to, to expel the men. while a white women legislator who had stood with joins, and pearson just held on to her seat, democratic officials have called the expulsions shameful. to me it's, it's a horrific indictment on the tennessee g o p and they ought to be ashamed of themselves. and the fact that they contain you to keep their foot on the accelerator when they knew the world was, was, it really just shows what this republican party has, has, has sunk to new lows, almost lost in the uproar. the reason why the 2 democrats and hundreds of students,

teachers, and pims, had been protesting a mass shooting at a private religious school. on march 27th, 3 adults and 3 children were killed, legislator se ultimately, gun control needs to be the focus. i'm asking folks who are mer to stay mad. both men could be back in the tennessee house very soon. the could be appointed by their districts on an interim basis. and then they will lead the fight for gun control and to stop these kinds of expulsions from happening again. alan fisher, i'll just either in the united states to compete in court rulings have raised confusion about the future of a widely used abortion co. a judge in texas sorted drug regulators to put a hold on him if he prison a births afterwards. another judge in washington state rule that access to the pill must be preserved in 17 states in a worker has this report another set back for access to abortions in the united states. on friday,
