isn't enough and weeks after a deadly crack down on europe's border with africa, migrants accuse spanish police of illegally forcing them back into morocco. d, w meets those who say they were beaten and denied the chance to claim asylum. ah hello em. claire richardson, thanks so much for joining us. us house speaker. nancy pelosi has used her visit to taiwan to deliver a statement of solidarity. she said her country would do whatever it takes to boot, ty, one's ability to defend itself, and policy departed from the capital tie. pay a short while ago, she spent less than a day on the self governing island during which she met with the president and addressed parliament. although she was not there as an official, us representative of pelosi visited, despite stark warnings from china,

which responded by boosting its military drills in the seas around tie one a trip that has set the region on edge the speaker of the us house of representatives, nancy pelosi arrives in taiwan, making her the highest level american official to visit the island in 25 years. pelosi stop over was kept deliberately ambiguous, amid stock warnings from china, and the threat of a military response. despite reservations in the biden administration, the white house insisted that pelosi had a right to choose whether to visit and choose. she did to day our delegation of which i'm very proud came to taiwan, to make unequivocally clear, will not abandon our commitment to town. and we are proud of our enduring friendship. today, the world safe is the choice between democracy and autocracy. americans

determination to preserve democracy. here in taiwan and around the world, we may, iron clad. beijing's response was furious panel. sheena sword, what pillows he has done this by no means a defense or protection of democracy, but a provocation and violation of china sovereignty and territorial integrity. it seems that china has vowed punishment under the one china principal, beijing views the self governing island as a break away province and has not ruled out re unification by force. it is announced a series of live fire military exercises surrounding the island, which taiwan warns will amount to an air and sea blockade. but despite china's threats tie, once president sighing then was resolute mandates, as she k facing deliberately heightened military thread. what i want will not back down, we will firmly uphold our nation sovereignty and continue to hold the line of defense

for democracy. on the ground in the capital, taipei opinions were divided. some feared retaliation from china. and by the way, after pillows, his visit, what i want is not targeted. i think she is making trouble for us. of course i am worried about military confrontation. ah. while others were less concerned? the hotel ye? yeah. i used to china threats. my feel numb. i don't feel particularly nervous, but i think that the media is exaggerating the matter. yet yet young dog. with taiwan now effectively surrounded by chinese military fears of a new crisis in the taiwan straits, arising all eyes and now on beijing. a policy visit has drawn a furious response from china and to discuss the repercussions of our visit in more detail. i'm dry now by d. w. clifford could and welcome clifford, i'm china is livid from beijing's perspective. what is actually the problem here?

which i hate this because it sees taiwan as part of its territory ultimately on. it sees this visitor as an affront to it's, it's sovereign right to, to rule taiwan, which it considers a break away province. it also hates the timing of this because it comes at a time when china's facing a lot of difficulties at home with the economy. i would slowing growth at, with the property market in crisis. and also with the 20th party congress coming in the fall during which leadership, jim ping will be affirmed as leader for life. so the, a lot of reasons why it hates it. and also it goes against this one china principle, which was mentioned in the report which is basically a fudge. it's a way of saying that we just keep things the way they are and we leave it of that. so why do you think is likely to happen next? and now that policy has left? well now that she's gone, am, i think we're going to see a lot more tension on this one china principal for one. i think that, that the fudge doesn't really work any more because the, it was okay to accept the one china policy as long as there was an idea of engagement with china, but that ideas become more challenging now. so m,

i think we're going to see a lot more pressure from the west side and to, to deal with, with taiwan. and from the chinese side, i think you're going to see things like em. you're going to see basically possibly a trade blockade of sorts. where they'll have these regular military exercises as we saw in the map and the report as well. and that they're basically sort of in circling the island, making it difficult to get items and exports off the island. so i don't think there's going to be a war as such but, but definitely there's going to be more pressure. ok, so economic repercussions, as you said, you said you don't think there's going to be a war. but do you think a direct, military confrontation between china and taiwan is something it is more likely after this visit? well, i think military experts reckoned that china is around 5 to 7 years away from having the capability to successfully invade taiwan. i think a lot of those predictions have changed because of the war rushes warn you. crane. i think people are feeling less certain that you can and beta country like taiwan

and, and holders am. but what i think is definitely possible. is that with a lot of more military activity in the region, you could have skirmishes, you could have individual contact between taiwanese and chinese military forces and that could be extremely problematic. so i think we're definitely going to be heightened tension and some of that could be could result in military skirmishes. i did have the clifford a cone in here in the studio. thank you so much for that update. i also want to get the view from a tie one, let's cross over to taipei and speak to deed abuse. so sung hahn. i'm tell us how important was this visit from nancy pelosi. what did taiwan gain from it? of the most important benefit of nancy pelosi is a visit for taiwan, is its visibility on the international stage. the whole world now sees a free and democratic taiwan under pressure from china for tony's people commit men

and solidarity shown by this high profile visit from the u. s. politician, despite china's military threats, especially after what hong kong and you couldn't have been through. but china now stronger than ever stated that it's a violation of a summer entity, as china clamps, how it is part of his territory. that is why china will be conducting large scale needs. we drills around high wine and any miscalculation could lead to possible military confrontations. what does that make people in taiwan worry then about china's reaction and what might come next? all the threats have been there for a past 70 years. it's hard to believe anything breaking will happen overnight, but people remember vividly how most ukrainian people in the outside world were sort of at ease when russia 1st started with asian. and now as you mentioned, there are new military intimidation from pigeon. and china has been in housing bands on imports of many taiwanese products. and just earlier, one taiwanese was arrested in china for conducting taiwan independence activities.

but for many people here, i have talked to so far, they think as a price to pay to keep a democratic lifestyle, to co is the same with his giant neighbor. how do people in taiwan see parallels between their own situation and russia? is invasion of ukraine affairs committee. the hell. yeah. people here watch very closely because oftentimes people will draw out examples from, especially hong kong and euchre. and their people will be saying that as hong kong to day tie one to morrow or you cren today, town to morrow. so people here are always have worries like this, but all of people still live our know the normal life. but i'll say like people watch very closely on china's warnings or ideas. so tom hahn in taipei, thank you so much for reporting. and e 1st, a ship to export grain from a ukraine port since the russian invasion has been cleared to continue its journey . after passing inspections, a ship called the rezone was inspected to day while anchored in turkish waters.

it's cargo was scrutinized by monitors from the u. n. ukraine, turkey and russia, which demanded inspections to ensure the ships the ship is not carrying arms. and there is only departed odessa in ukraine on monday, carrying $26000.00 tons of corn. it's now passed through the boss for a straight and is on its way to its final destination tripoli in lebanon. so let's get more from des, dorian jones, in istanbul, a dorion, the inspection of the ship is now over. it seems to have gone very smoothly while absolutely, in fact, the whole search procedure took around 3 hours united nations. they describe it as a complete success left on the sand, but this search policy was made up of the united nation ukrainian, or russian office and the fact that the ukrainian, or russian all working together on what it takes, you know,

complex operation is seen as a major boost the whole project searching of the ship, the theme of the whole grain agreement that really helped a 1000000 tons of ukrainian trends in black sea pulled all the ships involved in the shipping of this train boat going to ukraine and coming back. and you will all have to be shot search. the fact that this procedure went very well, they find that the old luck. in fact, the un said that this is a proof of concept, which basically it will now be applying to the major search and to pump the operations and get these brain on to well, i mean that all sounds very positive, but how confident do you think we should be that this will continue smoothly. well, we have to realize that during the month and say she reaches point, many people said that this whole idea had no chance of what we're talking about exporting a grain from a war zone. and people saw that isn't practical,

thanks to the intent to the united nations. i'm very anxious to feel they see that the fact that it's 1st ship going on to the market. well, market is assigned to the people. these project can work and it can happen now the whole idea is meant to. so you said there are 3 motions waiting to go. the ukrainian, or the thing is many 17 ships could be heading to the market in the coming days. and there was a recognition in many ways that if you have documents on the green sauce meeting, getting for world markets and will grant price soft pull, it will make it very difficult parties to pull out of this field. and also the recognition there is a race car and there's $20000000.00 tons of ukraine in grain inside on that has to be shifted sort of a new hobbies so great can go into those silence so everyone knows that they have to walk up and get this grain in the next 120 days on to well, bach is before the people reach the end of its agreement. and the target president

rush up to you or the want to do to meet russia. president putin, later this week, a door in just briefly, what might be on the agenda at that meeting? well, i didn't realize that the neutral or conflicting interest for the quarter to was a major. anything of this, this great deal is seen as a top. i come on the agenda for president one, he's pretty much the procedure on the line as a vindication of maintaining close ties with is our washing counsel. part of that to me, this is the 2nd meeting within a month seem to be the other one says those contacts are viper along with a balanced approach, not enforcing with 2 things. one piece has put him in a position where you can mediate between russia and ukraine, and possibly possibly down the line reach a possible end of dorian jones forrest and stumble. thank you. as always, for your reporting and ukrainian engineers are once again in

control of the chernobyl power plant, after russian forces took over the facility in the early phase of the war. but with moscow's unrelenting military strikes, the threat of a leak or explosion at the nuclear plant remains. he w is funny for char went to meet residents of the surrounding areas who are doing what they can to protect themselves against. radiation poisoning, chivon over dusty, a bottle of iodine. this would be natalie on 1st protective response. in case of a radioactive leave go pick you could ask of us from boston. i went to take care of my child at that and gave her a 10 drops of dis when they put up one of the dishes her expect on the what they did. but i don't know how useful it is 40 i had thought for leah's mom. natalia wasn't born when the chernobyl disaster happened in 1986, but the family trauma said steep road. but if that didn't come with the colonel, can you imagine you lock up your home and leave any of you luck up your youth and leave it asleep? my father left everything, dan huffstutter thought,

and this is still very painful for him. well, isn't that a bit in law's sister? her father helped with the channel bill cleanup. pretty much every one in our family has had cancer, even though they now live here in low voltage, a town build fortune, noble survivors. the russians haven't attacked. but it's equally quiet since the war began, nearly half of the population has left people worry about putting, turning the war nuclear here. all that would need would be a conventional strike on the nuclear plant. i can have one you got if you can expect anything from him, am same from his bella, rosie a neighbor. luke, a shanklin. got those. i'm afraid them go much the darya by you see jan. nobel with the still dangerous remains of the nuclear power plant. disaster is just 50 kilometers away. this is the town of pretty p up once they're home to channel bill workers, abandoned since 1986. and last for ever the passing decade. so radiation

decrease in parts of the exclusion zone. but we're told that recently radiation novels rose again after russia and forces occupy char no, been for a while in the early stages of this war. in fact, troops moved a tillery through highly radioactive areas, kicking up con, terminated dust. we won't stay here full in slow voltage, they are renovating this school bunker. the mayor sands with 500 people, could find shelter here from a rocket attack, but not a nuclear disaster, which he doesn't to discuss. women, why was we shouldn't create panic among people. we must understand there would be no escape from that. we shouldn't waste our resources and emotions on it. and what's the sweet natalia disagrees. she would like more information from the government. how she can best protect her daughter when she should flee. yet i told them amazon zagat than from oxford is no information how to protect our children.

and it's amazing, exhausting. but then when the time comes and we need to talk about it, it would be too late, but in both force, them longer to war, continues the more dangerous it feels to you on the last reassurance, belittle bottle of a you dean provides. let's bring you up to speed now with some other stories making headlines around the world. sri lanka, new president, has called on m. p. 's to former unity government to help revive the countries a battered economy, renew, vikram sing. i told parliament he was hopeful of ironing out a debt restructuring deal with the international monetary fund. the president was propelled to power last month after public protests forced his predecessor to flee the country. the army and burkina faso says it accidentally killed civilians during a counter terrorism operation in the countries south east residents of upon u. i. a village near the border with togo, say more than 30 people were killed in an air strike on monday. or king of faso has

been battling a g hottest insurgency, which is now spilling over into toko. where human rights groups are calling for an independent inquiry into the death of at least 27 migrants on the spanish moroccan border. a preliminary investigation by morocco found that most of the victims likely suffocated when up to 2000 people tried to storm the border in maliyah in late june. the tiny spanish exclaims of maria and say you are the european union's only land borders with africa, making them a focus for migrants and refugees. he had the report on snapshots traveled to morocco and sent us this report. a warning that it does contain disturbing french ah moroccan border guards round up and attack people trying to get over the fence even with the violence and content in a situation with no solution for either side. it's difficult to tell who is

alive and who might be dead. a troon was there that day via the heed you even in the floor. the heat use home. you know, after you knockout, you know, if you don't know anything, you come move they, they will leave you. if you come move there, will he to tell you? you can move. we meet a truen in the derelict school in casa blanca, where he's been living. he level serious accusations against the spanish police. he says he had already reached european territory where he was seeking asylum, but he maintains the officers forcibly deported him. they send you back to the morrow you. sometimes they allowed the moroccan police to enter. in fact, to pull you out. local journalist javier on gusto was inside the spanish city of melia. when crowds stormed the border in june. he confirms that trans account to go

get him. with america, i saw several dozen migrants managed to get over the bundle and no one else has no idea. they will illegally devoted straightaway. merkel me up with didn't even have like johns to game asylum. you up. what is the out when the spanish police simply send them back? there will be, oh my god. that's illegal. under international law. many of the migrants were from countries entitling them to refugee status in europe. we put the claims to the head of the regional government where there might be one or 2 cases that have been many attempts to get across the border. recently, we were all worried about the wall, rising green prices and missile and be been going hungry. or there are real consequences from all of that or less realty. i was totally midway. melia is a small city with a population of around $90000.00. it's one of the few european territories,

which has a land border with africa. journalist javier says spain as happy to pay out millions to its african neighbors to keep migrants back from its border. marika philip morocco music. he does a dody woke for us. you want to be seen as a beacon for human rights. yeah. who are able to help lucky in this fence, for example, was previously especially wishes. dipole fries a shot bob wire. i'm rights activists complained that the spanish took it down to that that but then being just bade morocco more money than will have me money and not exactly the same res offense has gone up on the other side. it be not any level . my repeat, several spanish cities saw protests after the unrest on june 24. the interior minister now has to testify before the european parliament. but the prime minister pedro sanchez has praised the security forces on both sides. back in morocco, a true remains. undeterred. he's already tried 10 times to get into spain,

and he's ready for attempts. number 11 said more or less i'd like to bring in christine, why? our correspondent in brussels are christine some very disturbing footage. in that report that we just saw what have the moroccan and spanish governments said about those deaths. they maintain that most of the people who died on that day died in stampedes. and there were over a 1002000 in fact a people trying to, to cross that border on that day. they, they say that many of them died in, in the stampede. they also say some fell to they death as they tried to climb over at the very high fences on that border. i human rights groups. i have said that they've talked to a lot of people who are there some eye witness accounts, that there were a lot of people who were injured, who did not receive immediate medical attention. and that might have actually made the difference for people who sustained a serious injuries. the spanish prime minister has been on record blaming people

smugglers for, for that day's events, alleging that they orchestrated this attack that he called. and he is praised, the moroccan, a border security officials for helping to protect spain's a border. now these 2 spanish escalades are the european union's only land border with africa. a. what role does the you have to play here? at the moment at spain has an agreement with the morocco and it is sort of outside of the ambit of the european union. and so in the aftermath of this, there was a discussion in the european parliament where impeach, for example, i highlighted the fact that the european union does have a border agency. it has court front x and they would like for the commission to encourage spain ad 2 to allow front x to, to, to play an active role in these 2 or exclaims or so to say, this is something that spain has been consistently refusing to do, insisting on it's

a cooperation with the moroccan officials. there was also an agreement between at e u level between the e you and morocco to strengthen cooperation when it comes to migration. but the emphasis in these agreements has been more about tackling the human trafficking element and perhaps looking at ways at which the creative ways and the new strategies that, that people are employing to try to reach european shores. not so much in terms of opening up safer passages for people who genuinely do deserve asylum. who right now have no real aspects or prospects to be able to claim ad that asylum. so no doubt human rights groups across europe. again, putting an emphasis on this, it's again at dinner. this is the latest flash point, if you will, at revealing how, how fraught european migration policy is. and of course, calling for your more human rights. and i'll have to point out here today that the number it as far as this incident goes, is 27 confirmed, but there may be very well more people are who died on that day. certainly many rights groups believe that they talk could be far higher than is reported currently,

a correspondent christine were in brussels. thank you so much for that update. while the issue of abortion has divided the united states in recent months when several court decisions and state laws, restricting access to pregnancy termination, and in the state of kansas, a referendum that could have seen abortions band has failed. it was the resounding results and the cause, the celebration, the pro choice advocates, 59 percent of voters chose to protect abortion rights in a largely conservative us state with ties to the anti abortion movement. for some the relief was palpable. you were raw to be from kansas and i and i feel like they just showed up in raleigh told me that they are going to take care of me and my female friends and everyone again. i mean we are protecting tonight. others still the kansas poll as an indicator that plans to restrict access to abortion out of

step with the public mood. if abortion rights are, are, are, are protected here in kansas. and again, republican leading state. um, i think that that indicates that there is a big did the states to have those trigger was probably are out of stuck with what their electorate wants. abortion opponents who supported the proposed amendment said they felt an obligation to protect the rights of the unborn. but when we pull back and look at the scientific evidence of what happens in that one, not the emotion and not of the fact that i'm, i feel like i'm losing something. the people that are losing life have no voice. if people on their own, like me, don't speak for them. the strongly held views on both sides were reflected in a sometimes bitter campaign. but the decisive vote to keep abortion protections in the state constitution indicates a clear determination from kansas citizens to protect women's rights.

and coming up next in detail, the news asia, how china's military response to nancy pelosi is taiwan. visit is forcing south east asian nations to sit up and take notes that are much more coming up with my colleague, garage energy after a short break, and choir richardson in berlin for me and the team. thanks for watching. ah ah ah ah ah
