[000:00:00;00] ah ah ah ah, this is date of any news live from berlin, china's president on the us later against involvement in taiwan. in a video, coal shaping ping tells joe, but not to play with fire at the scene,

yet us politicians consider visiting the island nation. china views as it's territory, also coming out destruction as russian missile strike in east, in new crime, killing at least 5 people. brock. it's also the 1st time in wakes when you cry and says it's making games against the invasion in the south. and alaska goes up in flames. the knoll, the newest state is saying an unusual spite of forest fires. d w mates. the fire crews struggling to save harms. thoughts could a nasal spray might cove at 19 vaccination, less painful and more effective? al science correspondent explained the promise of new natal free inoculation. ah, i'm rebecca writ is welcome to the program. it was a call that was how to diffuse tensions bought. china's president used talks with his us counterpart to wish you

a war against supporting taiwan. according to chinese state media shaking peng, tell joe bond that those who play with fire will only get burnt. china is outraged over a potential visit to taiwan by a high ranking u. s. official biden said the u. s. position on taiwan hadn't changed and stressed the need for more communication. president, gigi and things warning to the u. s. med headline. news in china. his message, if you don't play with fire home over taiwan with the, to our conversation with you as president joe biden was said to be broad ranging pretensions over a potential visit by a powerful washington politician winning dominated the agenda. beijing views taiwan as a breakaway state of the mainland and announces any political engagement which i pay . and it's democratically elected government that says to me,

these remarks once again showed that certain us politicians fully out of the selfish interests, want nothing but tensions in china. us relations turbulence across the taiwan strait and chaos in the world. change up. this is ill intentioned sheila yoshi, earlier this week, taiwanese president shy ng when attended annual military exercises off the islands coast. though any visit from us? house speaker nancy pelosi wouldn't change the u. s. position on the one china policy. it is likely to ratchet of tensions over the contested taiwan strait. should speaker pelosi proceed with the trip. it would coincide with the 75th anniversary of the founding of the people's liberation army and china. and were likely, i think, to see an increase and a noticeable increase in chinese care speech incursions in and around taiwan in the event that she proceeds with her trip. we may even see something called

a median line incursion, and that's a breach of the maritime borders. that exists in the center of the taiwan st. just 6 months ago. president, she's in ping said reunification must be fulfilled. washington's policy recognizes china sovereignty over the taipei governments, but bite and has made diplomatic waves, saying the us would defend the island militarily. if china invades and public support from officials like pelosi are likely to add fuel to the smoldering tension between 2 world powers and it's cost of it to date. any correspondence. zachary les, in taiwan, zachary one president, warning another president not to play with fire. what should we make of that? yes, according to the chinese media, as c has already won the us do not. they would fire in the us most,

not the whole i was still in. this is similar to the us chasing the previous previously many times the you don't port tie, what does it also we can see the wrong the made by white house, the president biden underscore. d u. a policy regarding china has not changed. and also it doesn't support any dies or i want to to affect the ability of course, i won't say so there are lit up. i've been saying that's why this whole i'm going to be us in china. my, my improved and according to us, the near the us from the us. they might be in person meeting. i didn't and see. so everybody watching these 2 hours on both believe they might come to

agreement in the future. that led to close on that very what would a high ranking visit by someone like nancy pelosi main for taiwan in fact led chinese government as always. so these are regarding any high value for red will be good to go because it's not surprising that the u. a chinese government is very upset regarding the hyper bio p good such as nancy hello to tie one. so nancy, for those really big when i was in the china and you went to the effect, the relation between china and the u. s. and according to the information from those days, really you

a lengthy pelosi might be on friday and she will leave the cation to be late japan and also korea, south korea and singapore bore schedule. and i one be they still remain tentative. so we still need to see will be this. i wasn't accurate. thank you so much. we'll have to leave it. there is actually late 4th in taiwan announced rushes war on ukraine. where officials say, at least 5 people have died when a missiles struck a hotel in the eastern city of bath. moot, russia is also launched, rather missile strikes on the cave and trying to have regions for the 1st time in weeks. meanwhile, ukrainian forces stepping off efforts to retake the southern city of her song and appeared to be close to cutting off fresh troops there from the rest of the occupied areas. from the ruins of this hotel, rescuers full, a man from the rebel alive. not everyone was so lucky when russian rockets hit back

moot on thursday. the city and the don't ask region has been hit again and again. i indiscriminate rush and shelling, part of moscow stalled efforts to claim ukraine's east. but in the country south keeps says, a counter offensive is moving forward. the city of have son fell to russian forces early on in the war. ukraine is now stepping up efforts to retake it. keith says is knocked out the strategic antonio ski bridge. this would help isolate russian forces on the rivers west bank, away from their supply lines. you speak you in the why that there is significant damage to the bridge and its structure. we think that the enemy will try to repair it again, william of office. we are prepared for this all, and you will soon hear about our next steps or not about should you booth is on most of the posting on telegram. an official for the russian appointed

administration said the bridge was still functional, while referring to ukraine's armed forces as nazis, as is common in the pro russian camp. still with most of the lord, one sealy goober, the bridge is blown up with. everyone rejoices up. but these are just allusions, none of the nazis will ever enter have song. so but the destroyed bridge, which you can see behind me, you still exists and objectively speaking this hysteria by ukrainian nazis cuz it won't change the outcome is fia ag dressel graham of his though the fighting over this strategic crossing is more than just a war of words, ukraine says it's forces will repair the bridge eventually. but 1st the aim to liberate her son. little alley i spoke to day deputies honey for china cave, and she gave us this update. you kind of get the impression that this is a level of stagnation for both sides because they went any major gains during recent weeks. nita for russia know for ukraine, while at the same time as you have also heard in that report. there's a lot of shining going on. specifically in buck moved, which is

a very strategic town for russians to take in to then advanced it had on bus region towards slo vianza, which is the administrative center in doing yet. so lot of fighting is going on without any halt there in the eastern region, but the situation is also quite dynamic in the harrison region as ukraine is trying to step off, step up, it's counter offensive there and liberate her. so city that is under russian control since the very beginning, almost off of the war that is in it's 6 months now there's focus on this key breach deanthony obscure bridge, which also changed hands a few times during the course of this war. and ukraine wants to control this bridge because you, if you look at the map, you see that it really establishes a land corridor for russians from crimea, all the way into central ukraine. and it is actually very, very important for them to supply their, their forces, their troops in the city, but also in, on the west and bank of the river of the negro neva river, very important to be very important gear, et cetera. so you will see

a much more action to say so in the house and region, of course, at the same time is going to be the civilians have to be the bronze for this. as ukraine is stepping up, it's counter offensive without any major gains yet. just preparing to ground for it and russia. of course, we want to defend the region that the f taken in a few months ago. and if a child there for us in keith, on this way, the russian energy company gas prom drastically reduced its deliveries of gas to germany through the notes drain pipeline. and mo complicates germany's plan to fill its reserve tanks for the winter. people are being urged to cut their energy use by showering less and turning off the lights while with energy costs rising fast. he is a look and how some residents are reacting. germans are bracing themselves for a tough winter. they're being asked to save up to 20 percent of their usual energy consumption isn't? i mean, we're in

a serious situation. it's time everyone understands when need to stop thinking. oh, well, it's the summer now. it won't be that bad. and we have to bring gas consumption down off. of course you're on turbine, it's not just industrial sector that's expected to save energy. private households are also being asked to do that. bit. 90 percent of the household and germany have the potential to safe energy. and most people don't know about it. the potential is there, and many germans have already come up with a plan. so really remotely my, i turn on the light as little as possible and i don't use hot water in it to wash my hands any more. if vanka, i think we'll just try to warm up together and then we'll have eaten, we're done the dog at the v us, mike nor but i only heat the bathroom at the living room. i'm not at full blast orange. that was how i tried to counteract it, and gains of organ the eminence i wound i do. we have the old ovens in our apartments that aren't working at the moment, and we fighting

a bit to his tom dempster was of i and. and otherwise we have ready to do a lot of exercise that will, warmer something may be, eat one the soup as well. and so we've been thinking about it. so far, private households have already saved 5 to 6 percent of their consumption. but there's potential for even more cut the gas would use the temperature. you don't need to heat empty, empty houses, water reductions also very important. so short and tell us, or using low flow showerheads. and when it comes to electricity, l. d lights and g efficient devices and it can, programs should be standards and switching off devices which i'm not used. and there is also something else. when. so what time does the current situation is the greatest difficulty is i and freeing from our fossil fuel dependence on russia

moment is also an opportunity for us to really implement what we have to do anyway in terms of climate. why the, for an opportunity for germany to go greener was cleaner energy, but a cost is likely to be high and an unknown remains. will there be enough energy to get to the winter joy now by data be political corresponding manual shots. you fall that report? emma an opportunity for germany to go green. how exactly could that look like? hi, rebecca, we've just had 4 minutes to anela now. barbara, who has service from greens, talking about that in the report. this is an opportunity to develop here in germany, renewable energy infrastructures, other quick pace. now of course, if we look at germany plans to also use oil, coal mines again in light of these energy crises, of course it doesn't look promising in terms of environment protection. however,

many steps have been taken to encourage to use of renewable energy, both by private households, but also by industries. many companies are trying to obtain energy from forces other than gas, including when energy, including solar energy, when possible. but there's also more incentive to use resources like biological bio gas, for example, compost gas, warm gas, sewer, gas coming from organic matter. so as germans become more inventive on how to get the energy there, it also they also hoping to boost cleaner energy. now this of course is not just about to regular people. you may that what about the industrial sector? who use a lot of energy work and save energy? while indeed, are industries in germany obviously play a big role in doubt saving plan. in fact, it accounts for a 37 percent of the gas consumption that's compared to 31 percent for private household. so there's definitely

a shared task there with one quarter of the industry's consumption, which is down to just the chemical industry alone. and they dont only use gas as an energy supplier, but also as a raw material as a component or in their industry. and this is also the case for the metal industry . so in dose cases, it will be really hard to replace natural gas, but the federal association of energy and water industry is calculated that in some places energy suppliers can be replaced by up to 36 percent of the gas and that could be saved. but it really varies depending on which industry we're talking about. some of them will only be able to save up a fraction of that. now germans are being asked to reach certain targets around 20 percent of reduction, but if germany isn't able to reach those targets, will it become mandatory at some point, do you think will they bring in harsh methods? well, it's feared by many are here in germany as are so politicians who fear did this,

could actually, or bring a protest people to the st up street to demonstrate against those measures. but you know, our private households have already saved up to 6 per cent before what we call here to hide sphere, you ordered a heating season, which starts on october the 1st. so of course there's room for more. 20 percent is very ambitious, but at the same time, people are very much aware of that. it would also bring the costs of energy down for them as well as being a collective effort to save energy. and besides the vast majority of people here. so i understand that it's a very particular situation that is a due to an ongoing war. m a. thank you very much for that update manual shares for us. thanks. well, let's now get you up to speed with some other stories making headlines around the world. french president emanuel my call has welcome saudi crown prince mohammed ben solomon to his presidential palace in paris. the visit has been criticized due to

saudi arabia's human rights abuses. the founding government was linked to the 2018 killing. a journalist, america shoji. columbia is saying a wave of violence against the police, as a new president prepared to take office. and a 36 offices have been killed. so far, the officials say the powerful gulf clam drug cartel is behind. most of the motors indigenous women briefly staged protested a mass held by pope frances in quebec on thursday, demanding he retract centuries old doctrine. legitimizing colonialism upon tip is on a week long tour of candidate to apologize for the church as role in the 4th cultural assimilation of indigenous children. torrential rains have triggered flash floods and mud slides in the east of the u. s. state of kentucky. authority say at least 8 people have died and the death toll is expected to rise. tens of thousands of without power. floods have also hit parts of the neighboring states of virginia and

west virginia. floods hit some parts of the u. s. wildfires devastating other parts of the country. the white house says the total area destroyed is far higher than the 10 year average in large part driven by the climate crisis. president biden is approved a major disaster declaration for the state of alaska, which is experiencing an unusually fierce wave of forest fires. w carolyn chamber. i met some of the people battling the fires as well as the residence fling from them. alaska is the largest u. s. seat, it is also the least densely populated among its great treasures, the untouched wilderness. but much of that is now being destroyed. wild fires are not a new phenomenon here, but they are changing. they're becoming more frequent and more intense. so much so that this here no co fire fighters here in anderson,

we're unable to get them when a fire happens and they get bigger than the local unit can handle like so here in anderson they have some local volunteer firefighters. they but, but they are very small, so when the fire gets bigger than what they can control, they will call for outside help and tell pass come from all over the u. s. kate air heart from montana has been battling places, country white for more than 20 years. this is her 5th time in alaska. she's now supervising a team of 500 fire fighters deploy to help control one wild hire. sadly, this property couldn't be saved. it's really when fires like this one, start in and around populated areas, even a lightly populated area like this that it becomes a problem. era fair. you hear that i've never seen fire behavior like

this before. and so i would say this abnormal weather is the new normal. it's getting harder to fight fires, resources they're getting scarcer and we're dealing with when it's like this, this summer, more than 264 individual fires have destroyed 1250000 hectares of land across the state. the blaze in anderson is now under control, that the damage is extensive, and the strong winds post a risk to this used to be a for is he can still see smoke up there. the fire fighters are still trying to get that high under control and we can strongly smell it. local people half had to evacuate their homes. among them don and dorothy wins are a seller 8 in the place. when they returned, the fire was under control. it was like kind of like surreal. there was smoke and

fires were still burning in the trees out here. and the firemen were with us and i think they were with us because they, uh, maybe, you know, it would be traumatic to go and see. but we, he, they said right away, your house is safe. this time they were lucky, but there will certainly be wild fires here again. and experts say global warming may make them more severe. now what's the 1st thing you think of when you hear the word vaccine will most of us imagine rolling up our slaves for a shot in the arm. but many researchers believed there's actually a better way to provide protection protection rather against cove at 19. and it doesn't involve a needle. billions of doses of vaccines have been injected throughout the world over the course of the pandemic. and although the series of shots doesn't prevent people from getting coven 19 entirely, it does make the course of the disease generally much less severe. and that experts

say has saved millions of lives. some researchers have set their sights higher. their goal is to prevent infections before they can take hold at the place where the virus 1st enters the body, the nose around a dozen trials with different nasal spray vaccine candidates are currently ongoing in different countries. a few are in what's called phase 3 testing, which means they're being checked for effectiveness in larger groups of test subjects. they could help change the course of the pandemic because it sars covey to is blocked from docking on to the cells in the upper respiratory tract. it can't invade them, so even after exposure, it's unable to replicate and the massive way that leads to full blown illness. that means blocking the virus with this kind of vaccine might also help break infection . james, the concept isn't a novel one. nasal vaccines for influenza have been around for

a couple of decades now. there have been a few problems with them over the years, but for lots of people, especially younger recipients, they have one major advantage. the boost to immunity doesn't involved getting jabbed with a needle on tag williams from our science desk is here to break it down for us even more. derek, thanks for coming in. so there is a round about a dozen injectable vaccines, right? that have been approved by the w h i but no nasal ones. why ease development on that front? so slow mom for a couple of different reasons. i mean the 1st and 1st and foremost, it's a question of dosage, the dosages, when you inject a vaccine, you can, you can be certain that you're giving a certain amount into it. so it's more reproducible as an experiment if you will, then sprang something into someone's nose, where there's a mucus mucosal environment. we also know actually a lot less about the immune response in that new coastal environment than we know about the systemic immune response. so we're still learning and one of the reasons

that we know less about it is because the very simple one is because your nose is quite close to your brain. so you have to be very tight. and you have to be very careful when you're doing testing with, with, for example, a substance that could cause inflammation. when you're, that was right. i couldn't nasal that st. full curve at 19 actually replaced the current injected ones in that case. and i don't, i don't think that they're going to replace them. i mean, billions of us have, have had a full set of injections already. so we've got some systemic immunity already. and so, but it's also looking very likely that in the future, it's quite probable that we're going to have to have some kind of update booster going on. and, and i think that nasal vaccines could very well fill that role quite well. moving forward, is that something that we would be doing at home now cells would go to the pharmacy or the doctor for something that's one of that. that's really one of the big advantages of this kind of system is that you don't have to train your personnel as, as,

as strictly that you would be administered by because they would probably minister by professional, certainly at the beginning. and how soon can we expect to see these vaccines hit the market? do you think? well, is there about a dozen candidates in what's called clinical testing and clinical trials at the moment? some of them quite late stage 2 or 3 quite late stage in india and china. so we might see them being approved. they are actually in the, in the fairly near future if they, if they pass those late phase 3 trials, i think it will take a little bit longer in europe and the u. s. but ballpark maybe year and a half, 2 years. right. well, interesting developments ahead doug williams from date of the science. thanks very much for coming in. well, that's all from us for now. up next is doc film presenting. can books save the world. if you're looking for more news, you can always find the latest headlines and analysis on our website or on twitter
