2nd in command of al qaeda for get the reaction from washington dc. also coming up tensions above possible stop over in taiwan power news, media report that you have. how speaker nancy pelosi will visit the island during her trip to asia, despite warnings from china and germany's foreign minister defends a landmark non proliferation treaty at the un after the secretary general was that humanity is just one misunderstanding away from the nuclear annihilation. ah, i'm really mohammed, welcome to the program. i'll kind alida, i'm and all the worry has been killed in a drone strike in the afghan capital kabul. you as president, jo,

i'd and made the announcement a short time ago also, or he allegedly carried out a key role in planning the 911 terrorist attacks against the us, alongside osama bin laden. this comes a year after the u. s. pulled out of afghanistan. roy williams, while this is what president joe biden had to say at the white house a short time ago, or until his community located his hour here you earlier this year, he had moved to downtown kabul to reunite with members of his immediate family. after carefully considered a clear and convincing evidence of his location, i authorized a precision strike there would remove him from the battlefield once and for all. this mission was carefully plan, rigorously minimize the risk of harm rather civilians. and one week ago or to revise the conditions were optimal. i gave the final approval to go get him. and the mission was a success. none of his family members were hurt and there were no civilian

casualties. while the taliban has responded on twitter in the last few hours saying they saw mc emerett of afghanistan, strongly condemned this attack on any pretext, and calls it a clear violation of international principles and the doha agreement. well, let's get more in this and speak to d, w, assuming some a scandal in washington dc. so say me, you've been listening to that press conference and clearly a very important moment for us president joe biden. just talk us through the details of the strike. deborah hill, this really is a pretty big deal for president biden and his administration. so we know that the strike took place in cobble over the weekend. we know that alto ari was on his balcony when he was killed. and we have learned from the a p news agency that he was in the house of the house that he was in when he was killed rather was owned by a top aid to a senior taliban leader. we learned also that this was the product of 6 months of planning, highly secretive planning by president biden and

a tight circle of his senior and senior advisors. rather, none of this information had leaked out beyond that circle, and they had sources on the ground who were monitoring. now they didn't say what kind of aerial drone was used in the strike. but this was a cia operation. and apparently, you are security officials here mapping out the whole compound, even making a model of the compound to be able to assess the area in this house and couple they were waiting since july and u. s. secret officials were able to establish a pattern including when, so ari would emerge on to his balcony for longer periods of time. so they were able actually, where he liked to zoom in on the moment that he was alone on his balcony, which is pretty remarkable. we don't know of any us personnel on the ground so far at this moment, but we are waiting for more details of that coming to, to trickle out rather in the next few days. they also conducted a legal analysis of the situation and came to the clue conclusion that he still posed a serious risk and we heard president biden, they're saying, mentioning the number of attacks linked to this al qaeda leader. so this is news

that certainly for president biden is being seen as a big success. and indeed that's what the white house is calling it. what's been the reaction to this in the united states? and we seen a rare show of support from republicans joining democrats and praising president biden and his administration. i want to tell you what one leading republican a senator lindsey graham said, he said, quote, congratulations to the biden administration and all those brave americans involved in this successful counter terrorism operation. he went on to say that this is a significant event in the war and terror and delivers the message that america never forgets. and another republican has been very critical of president biden. senator ted cruz from texas saying all americans will breathe easier knowing that i'm and also worry the leader of al qaeda has been eliminated. now, there has been some criticism from republicans, particularly on the right end of the party spectrum, saying that this is president biden, taking a victory lap unnecessarily,

but mostly where he left the voices here in the us. very supportive of the president and this counter terrorism operation. and to be all of this comes one year off to the united states pulled out of afghanistan. what does this told us about? how involved the u. s. is when it comes to afghan sovereign soil. yeah, it is a really interesting question and you know, i think we have to listen to what president joe biden said in his address on monday that the killing of his leader brings one more measure of closure to families of the victims of september 11th. and he went on to say that the u. s. will not allow afghanistan to become a terrorist safe haven saying, we're going to quote, make sure nothing else happens. and it's interesting that this is being seen as a significant counter terrorism operation, just 11 months, as you mentioned, after american troops left the country. the reality is that we know that a year after the fall of cobble that was widely considered to be very poorly handled by the biden administration. and there were fears that this very messy exit by the u. s. in its allies gave i'll kind of the opportunity to rebuild. u. s.

military officials have warned that this group has been trying to rebuild enough janice done. so i think what it tells us is that the u. s. might have pulled out of afghanistan a year ago. but that is still very closely watching security developments on the ground there seems the misconduct in washington dc. thank you. now a top white house official is wanting tyna not to manufacture a crisis over a possible visit to tie one by us. how speaker nancy pelosi, taiwanese media reporting that potosi will visit the island during her asia tool. the chinese government says it will view a visit by below c as a provocation. and once that beijing would take the wrong counter measures in response and defended sovereignty and territorial integrity highway. bonnie glazer is the director of the asia program at the german marshall fund of the united states. she has more on nasty policies, potential visit to taipei. i think it's very likely that speaker pelosi will go to

taiwan. she was supposed to go this past april, she contracting co, good, and she had to delay her visit. so this is a reschedule a previously plan visit speaker. pelosi has been a supporter. strong advocate of human rights and democracy for many, many decades and very much of a trying to hawk. and so i think that this is, this visit is important to her. and what kind of response will be like a to see from china? china, i think, is going to try to thread the needle. they want to demonstrate resolve and strength . seizure and pain does not want to be soft on any issue that pertains to trying to territorial integrity and sovereignty, especially in the run up to the 20th party congress. that will take place this fall, but he also does not want to have a military confrontation with the united states. and so i think that we will see some military actions knocked an effort to shoot policies plain at the sky. by any

means, we might see some economic and political measures taken particularly against taiwan, which is usually the target of punitive actions by china when they are dissatisfied with what the united states does to support taiwan. and it seems that china is not concerned about, sorry, relations with the united states, or is this just an illusion? oh, i think that they jane does not want to say further deterioration of relations with the united states. and we saw in a phone call that cedric peng had with president biden just about a week ago that the 2 leaders talked about the possibility of meeting in person maybe later this year. and some people believe at the g 20. i think the teacher ping also has to demonstrate domestically that he can manage relations with united states. having this relationship spin out of control is certainly not with c. j.

peg prefers. now we're the u. s. secretary of state, anthony lincoln said that a potential visit to ty, one by miss close the would be entirely up to her decision. do you see a disconnect here amongst the us officials when it comes to dealing with china? well, i think that the united states has announced its china strategy. tony lincoln himself is given a speech. he and others have said that the united states still has a one china policy and does not support taiwan independence. beijing of course, thinks that some of trying is deeds don't match its words. and sometimes that is true that there have been statements, rhetoric from the bind administration, as well as some actions taken that are not very consistent with the one china policy of the united states. and it is important for the united states to have

a clear, consistent, and deliberate judicious policy, i think, in managing the cross street relationship. so i would like to see greater consistency. i think that recently the biden registration has been making some efforts in this regard for any place that thank you very much indeed for your time and analysis. thank you. well, let's take a look at some other stories making headlines around the world's authorities in california. say to bodies were found off to a place that broke out on friday. the so hold mckinney wildfire has forced the case to 1000 people to evacuate. fires have all to broken out in the western states of oregon and montana. ukraine has resumed the grain shipments from its black c port turkey, which is of a thing the implementation of the deal of the 2 countries signed with the un that it was safe for exports to resume crane had been unable to stock ship the

stockpiles of grain from its course since russia invaded in february and un secretary general and tonic a terrorist has warned that the world is closer to nuclear annihilation than at any time since the cold war. he spoke at the urine conference on reducing the spread of nuclear weapons. the non proliferation meeting, which was postponed for 2 years because of the pandemic, has taken a greater urgency after russia put its nuclear forces on a lead following its invasion of ukraine. we have been extremely lucky so far, but luck is not the strategy, nor is it the shield from geopolitical tensions. barling over into nuclear conflict, to with a humanity is just one misunderstanding when miscalculation away from nuclear. elation we need the treaty of non proliferation of nuclear weapons as much as ever or germany is foreign minister. and alina burbock is among the diplomats attending the high level meeting in new york. burbock said,

stopping the spread of nuclear weapons was one of the international communities most fundamental duties. we are here to defend the rules based international order. the entity is not just the piece of paper, it embodies some of the most fundamental commitments of human kind. to prevent the spread of nuclear weapons, to ensure nuclear weapons, i never used again. and to work towards our common goal of a word free of nuclear weapons. so what does the u. n. want from these talks to w, mckayla cooper has more from new york well, in plain words, to bring well leaders who have the to that sense. and there's a lot of finger pointing towards north korea towards iran,

where the german foreign minister called on iran to basically take that deal. that is on the table to hold yvonne newfield the way and actually make this happen now and older. there were some positive signals and we had a fresh warning from lincoln at the u. s. secretary of state who expect yet another nuclear test by north korea. so the hope is that there's a month of hope that will now be going on to find ways to limit the spread of nuclear weapons and also to get some fresh commitments to limit the number of nuclear weapons. because the so called stops to agreement that runs out in 2026. that sound that feels a long time away. but these talks are always very lengthy and they're very important in the global security. ok, mechanical net in new york. thank you so much mckenna and his reminder of our top

stories. u. s. president joe biden says the leader of al qaeda has been killed in an air strike. the alleged mastermind of the 911 attacks was targeted by an american drug in the afghan capital. well that, that you're up to date stick around because doc fullness coming up next, next, looking at the country of moldova and the uncertain situation at spacing in fi, much more on the website as well. these are the dot com and marina mohammed, thanks for watching. take care bye bye. ah ah, red alert for the blue climate. ah, we're going to have some epic moreover water. the water heater is becoming a scarce commodity.
