for the second day in a row, china has continued its military intimidation of taiwan. at least 68 chinese fighterjets are reported to have crossed into taiwanese controlled airspace. this video broadcast on chinese television this evening shows just how close some of them came to the taiwanese coast. in the background, those are the mountains of central taiwan. china has also announced a long list of retaliation against america, including personal sanctions on nancy pelosi. but in taipei, foreign minister joseph wu told me he has no regrets about inviting the us house speaker to come to the island. the taiwanese government, especially the ministry of foreign affairs, has been working very hard in expanding taiwan's international space, making friends with important international leaders or trying to connect more with like—minded partners around the world. like speaker pelosi, who had an opportunity to visit taiwan, which is very significant, to allow the international community

to understand that taiwan is a democracy. it's notjust taiwan's democracy that is threatened by china. it's a big chunk of the world's economy. one hour drive south of taipei, these are the huge fab plants of the world's most important maker of advanced microchips. it's amazing to think that in these huge buildings behind me here, they manufacturer around two thirds of the world's most advanced microchips, and in that building over there, currently under construction, they are going to start next year each making the next generation of even more advanced chips. that makes this one corporation, tsmc, absolutely vital to the world's modern economy. it also makes this place very vulnerable. if only for this selfish reason, joseph wu says the world should care what happens to taiwan. tsmc is the most important chip producer here in taiwan and the most important chip producers around the world.

you can see without computer chips here in taiwan or without tsmc, the international community is going to suffer. a chinese blockade of taiwan could make the worldwide chip shortage caused by the covid pandemic look like a minor blip on the global economy. rupert wingfield—hayes, bbc news, in taipei. asi as i mentioned earlier, china says it is halting key climate talks with the united states following nancy pelosi was my trip to taiwan. the move is a setback for dialogue between the world's two biggest emitters, it comes in the run—up to the cop 27 climate summit in egypt in three months�* time. the last summit back in november 2021, china and the united states unveiled a joint pact aimed at ramping up cooperation. that pact focused on reducing methane emissions. protecting forests and phasing out coal. the past couple of hours at the white house press secretary has

responded to the chinese decision to suspend cooperation of the climate and defence. suspend cooperation of the climate and defence-— suspend cooperation of the climate and defence. ., , ., ., ,., ., and defence. there was no reason to have this escalation _ and defence. there was no reason to have this escalation that _ and defence. there was no reason to have this escalation that we - and defence. there was no reason to have this escalation that we are - have this escalation that we are seeing from china. it is fundamentally irresponsible what they are doing and we will continue our efforts to keep open lines of communication with the beijing while defending our interests and values in the region. this is what the world expects that the united states and we encourage beijing to keep this commitment when it comes to this commitment when it comes to this dialogue that was cancelled. for more on what this means, i�*m joined by a guest. thanks for joining us, if the us and china do not cooperate, what happens the fight against climate change?

china�*s announcement that it suspending cooperation with the united states on climate change is not surprising but the timing is quite bad given the engagement that was lined up for the next few weeks in the lead up to cop 27 later this year. we really have seen the signing of the us, china glasgow declaration, cooperation on climate between our countries has been progressing quite well and i know special unvoiced from both countries have been speaking quite regularly and planning to meet in person quoted. taste and planning to meet in person auoted. ~ . , and planning to meet in person auoted. ~ ., , , . , ., quoted. we are seeing pictures of john kerry. _ quoted. we are seeing pictures of john kerry. the — quoted. we are seeing pictures of john kerry, the us _ quoted. we are seeing pictures of john kerry, the us climate - quoted. we are seeing pictures of john kerry, the us climate envoy, quoted. we are seeing pictures of l john kerry, the us climate envoy, if he calls beijing and no one picks up, who else can or should he call to try to keep the us part on track? there have been many official and unofficial dialogues on climate issues and meaningful cooperation happening between china, and the united states. it wasjust happening between china, and the united states. it was just getting started and focusing on many key

technical issues such as reducing method and emissions. i think this will be a temporary suspension of talks, i believe cooperation is in the interest of both countries, both the interest of both countries, both the us and china and therefore i would expect talks to be resumed before the end of the year. is a suspension _ before the end of the year. is a suspension of _ before the end of the year. is a suspension of cooperation but from what you can tell in these early hours is that it�*s also a suspension of any chinese efforts in itself? we not of any chinese efforts in itself? - not seeing any signs of that. some of the key focus areas of the engagement with the united states is the direct part of china�*s own a national climate plan. for example the bug is very much on china�*s domestic agenda. it is a golfer chinese policymakers this year to come up with a domestic plan to curb methane emissions. this will be crucial in them are meeting their climate goals. i think it�*s very

likely we will see china continue its domestic efforts although certainly international engagement on these issues is extremely constructive. i5 on these issues is extremely constructive.— on these issues is extremely constructive. is too early to ask what effects — constructive. is too early to ask what effects the _ constructive. is too early to ask what effects the chinese - constructive. is too early to ask i what effects the chinese response will have on the conference? i think it has a direct _ will have on the conference? i think it has a direct impact, _ will have on the conference? i think it has a direct impact, back- will have on the conference? i think it has a direct impact, back in - will have on the conference? i think it has a direct impact, back in 2014| it has a direct impact, back in 2014 when the us and china came together making a joint pledge of their targets, almost a year in advance of the paris summit that this was instrumental in ensuring success in paris. we took this again in glasgow at the end of last year where a last—minute climate deal really pushed the negotiations of the finish line. i think it�*s concerning and i think and hope countries will be able to reinstate dialogue because the communication is crucial to making sure these international negotiations go smoothly.- to making sure these international negotiations go smoothly. thank you ve much. negotiations go smoothly. thank you very much- let's _ negotiations go smoothly. thank you very much. let's look _ negotiations go smoothly. thank you very much. let's look at _

ill to move to hospice and would hasten premature deterioration. stay with us here on bbc news, still to come. a year after fleeing the telephone, we flip here from some of the afghans who call the uk their home. and when the war and take a chance on being _ and when the war and take a chance on being able to win the the invasion began at two o'clock this mornin-... and when the war and take a chance on being able to win the the invasion began at two o'clock this mornin-... mr and when the war and take a chance on being able to win the the invasion began at two o'clock this mornin-... mr bush and when the war and take a chance on being able to win the the invasion began at two o'clock this morninu... ~ �* , ~ and when the war and take a chance on being able to win the the invasion began at two o'clock this morninu... ~ �* , ~ this morning... mr bush like most other people _ this morning... mr bush like most other people was _ this morning... mr bush like most other people was clearly - this morning... mr bush like most other people was clearly caught i this morning... mr bush like most| other people was clearly caught by surprise. taste other people was clearly caught by surrise. ~ .., ., other people was clearly caught by surrise. . .., ., ., surprise. we call for the immediate and unconditional— surprise. we call for the immediate and unconditional withdrawal - surprise. we call for the immediate and unconditional withdrawal of - surprise. we call for the immediate and unconditional withdrawal of all | and unconditional withdrawal of all it was from damning iraqi forces. 100 years old and are still full of vigour by damning vitality and enjoyment of life, no other king or queen of british history has lived so long and the queen mother is said

start with football because the premier league is back, arsenal are taking on crystal palace at... the first match of the brand—new season and we have had the very first goal as well. scoring for arsenal after just 20 minutes with a header, new signing with the assist for that one causing some chaos in the crystal palace. it is still i—o causing some chaos in the crystal palace. it is still 1—0 to arsenal midway through the second half. liverpool will be looking to go one better this term after missing out on the title in the last day of the season last time out. they begin away and newly promoted fulham on saturday. much of a campaign expected this time.— saturday. much of a campaign expected this time. although have the teams have _ expected this time. although have the teams have improved. - expected this time. although have l the teams have improved. everyone tries to improve. this includes experience from last season. the

only thing we can really have to think about is our own things and thatis think about is our own things and that is what is necessary anyway. it was difficult enough last year, we have to improve. the second day of golf�*s women�*s open at muirfield has come to an end. it�*s the first time the event has ever been hosted by the scottish club, and it comes 6 years after its members voted to overturn it�*s male only policy and be re—instated as an open venue. sarah mulkerins is there for us. the women�*s open bills itself as the most international major in women�*s golf and the leaderboard at the end certainly backs that up. at the very top we have a south korean player,

she is a three—time major winner and she is a three—time major winner and she played brilliantly in the afternoon conditions here, six birdies in damning and just one bogey. it did look as if we would have the south african player joining her there, she had a brilliant start to her round, her front nine holes, she recorded a score of 30. a little bit steady on the way home but then unfortunately for her she dropped a shot in the 18. she got in a little bit of bother getting herself into a bunker so she finished one back on seven under. that is the same mark as the swedish player. you may remember her because she finished second at this championship last year. she is certainly enjoying this. there are the big games lurking as well you just have to look down at the leaderboard to see a seven time winner and another two winner with australia athlete. there was

disappointment for one big name in particular, the world number one. she missed the couch and for her thatis she missed the couch and for her that is the first minutes to cut out a major since 2018. this is known as one of the fairest tests in links golf, we are seeing brilliant golf so it is all set to be a cracking saturday. and finally some cricket because — surrey chief richard thompson will become the new chairman of the england and wales cricket board. it comes as the bbc spoke to the ecb�*s chief executive clare connor, about the amount of matches the top players are playing at the moment. england test captain ben stokes retired from one—day internationals last month — partly because of the sport�*s relentless schedule. if we are not listening to our players who are living and breathing that schedule, we are administrators is sitting in offices... , we are not living that first hand so that

is a fundamental part of what we need to do, is a listen to those who are being asked to or being expected to deliver and entertain and inspire and without them we don�*t have a game that has got the wow factor to inspire. that�*s all the sport for now. it was last august and a coalition of international forces led by the united states withdrew from afghanistan— united states withdrew from afghanistan united states withdrew from afr hanistan ., ~ ., united states withdrew from afuhanistan ., ~ ., ., :: afghanistan marking the end of a 20 ear afghanistan marking the end of a 20 year campaign- _ afghanistan marking the end of a 20 year campaign- as — afghanistan marking the end of a 20 year campaign. as you _ afghanistan marking the end of a 20 year campaign. as you will - afghanistan marking the end of a 20 i year campaign. as you will remember, that alabama strictly took over leading to chaotic scenes as people tried to flee. —— the taliban took over. our correspondent has been speaking to some of them about their new lives. my name is hala. i�*m nearly four. my name is zara. for a year, home has been a hotel.

the shelgari family, six children and their parents, living in one corridor of rooms. it�*s not the family life they hoped for. the hotel is not for long—term living. we are hopeless. but it looks very long time. you feel hopeless? yeah, of course. they say that it might be solved within one month or two months, but it's nearly one year. marwa had to flee afghanistan because her mother was a politician. the uk gave her safety, but not stability. for close to a year, she�*s lived in a hotel in yorkshire with her family. last week, it stopped housing afghans. she�*s now in sussex, split up from the others. it was very, very hard to be separated from my family, and it was more harder that we are staying very far from each other. where has everyone gone? so my two brothers are in manchester and my sister is in leeds. to be honest, i couldn�*t just stop my tears. it�*s costing more than £1 million a day in hotel bills.

unlike ukrainians, afghans have no sponsors, no—one to live with to help them, and they can�*t bring over other family members. the scheme for afghans has not been a success in terms of housing or integration. there have been the odd success stories, one a journey from kabul to aberdeen. we were just left behind in a dark room. we first spoke to burhan, a former british army interpreter in kabul, pleading for help in august last year. through the danger at the airport with bombs, he managed to get his family to safety. we spoke to him in isolation when he arrived. everyone is ok and now we are in safety, and we are very thankful. he�*s one of the minority who�*ve made it out of hotels... this is your new house. ..thanks to helga, the woman who saw our bbc news reports and offered him a flat in aberdeen. look in there. what do you see?

the toys. a year on, we came to visit them. i named this city city of opportunities. city of opportunities? leaving behind your home, leaving behind families, is very hard. at least i can say that i�*m the luckiest one amongst my friends, among tens of thousands of people who left afghanistan, that i am settled well in aberdeen by the help of generous, good people around me. the granite city has shown warmth. burhan has a job in security. narcis is learning english. before sepehr moved to aberdeen, he spoke little english. i�*m excited about toys. now that�*s all changed. and now my english is better, so i can speak english. and how is school? good. last week we learned about the human brain.

what did you learn about it? we learned about cerebellum. cerebellum controls your body control. nearly 10,000 are still in hotels. the home office says the housing process is a complex one, but lives are being built here. marwa will study at university. narcis, a doctor, wants to practice here. and sepehr hopes to be a mechanic. lucy manning, bbc news. i�*m sure he will be able to be a mechanic. we are staying with afghanistan, the islamic state militant group has led response ability for a deadly blast in the capital kabul on friday. afghan police say eight people were killed and i8 wounded, they say the explosives were attached to a car loaded with vegetables and parked in a shopping area. iis hack attacks have continued though the taliban

takeover year over has decreased the number of violent public attacks. pakistani authorities have been warning about monsoon. many people have been killed in flooding and landslides across pakistan in the last few weeks. the government has promised around the clock help to communities. but it has been slow to help the worst affected areas. some victims are yet to receive food or water. before we go, you might remember this star of the commonwealth games opening ceremony if you were watching? the giant mechanical bull whose name i don�*t know was one of the highlights of the show but the bill was due to be dismantled and recycled at the end of the games, disappointing me. thousands of people that signed an online petition to save it and now the ball is here to stay. it will be in the central square in birmingham until the end of september before an indoor home is found for it. i

intend to visit it. do stay with the bbc news. hello there, the hosepipe ban is now in force across hampshire and the isle of wight, over the next week or two there are further bans on the way for other areas of south—east england and south wales as well. it has been dry again today for the majority of england and wales, but across north wales and northern england and the north midlands, scotland, some sunny spells and a few bars and showers. winds it next going to rain in those parched areas? i�*ve been looking and struggling to find an answer. we might next see rain in the ten days�* time or it could be a bit longer than that, maybe as long as two mag weeks. any significant rain is probably going to be towards the last 3rd of august, certainly a long time away. later in the night we

will see a band of rain moving into the north west of scotland but of course that is not where we need the rain at the moment september to overnight, comfortable, eight to 12 degrees. still that fresh low humidity air across the country, so another day when most of us will stay dry with some sunshine, the exception to that is scotland, we will see some rain at times, for scotland and northern england, cloud to bring an odd feeding shower, but nothing during the day. temperatures similar to what we had over the past couple of days, high teens of the northern areas, the warmest spot is about 25 in the east of england and the weather is going to stay fine for the athletes at the commonwealth games. second over the weekend, we will continue to see the odd spot of rain across scotland but no great amounts expected on sunday, for the bulk of the uk it�*s a dry day with sunshine. temperatures starting to rise further, to 21 in aberdeen, and 25 this time the cardiff, 27 in london. starting to feel very warm

if not edging towards pretty hot. into next week, this area of high pressure is going to be dominating more of the weather picture across the uk, that means more in the ways of dry weather is for all areas and rising temperatures are expected as well. forthe rising temperatures are expected as well. for the north of the uk, we have lost those showers, it dries, it becomes drive to scotland and temperatures here running into the low or perhaps mid 20s in the low back. it becomes hot southwards, temperatures in london and cardiff reaching the low 30s. the hottest areas into 33 in the middle of next week.

this is bbc news. the headlines. at least ten people have been killed in the gaza strip. 100 rockets have gone into israel in retaliation. jan has made a show of strength and the taiwan strait for a second day. the united states has accused china of fundamentally irresponsible behaviour after beijing said it was stopping cooperation with the us on a range of key issues. three more ships loaded with grain have sailed from edessa and other ports. between them the vassals are carrying more than 50,000 tonnes of cargo. more than 500 people have been killed after torrential rains in

pakistan. the country�*s
