clothes he 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 stopover 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 taiwan. 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 sinister, 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 mandate. so she came facing deliberately hide 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. while others were less concerned? the hotel. yeah. yeah. i used to china's threats. i feel numb. i don't feel particularly nervous, but i think that the media is exaggerating the matter. yet. here tell you that 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 joined now by d. w. 's clifford kuhn and welcome, clifford. i'm china is livid from beijing's perspective. what exactly is 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 its, its sovereign right to, to rule taiwan, which it considers a breakaway province. it also hates the timing of this because it comes at a time when china is 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 lot 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'll 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, and i think we're going to see a lot more attention on this one china principal for one. i think that, that the fudge doesn't really work anymore. 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 am 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 than 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 beta

a 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 at the clifford kernan here in the studio. thank you so much for that update. earlier i spoke to d w, so it's hung hon and in taipei and i asked him how important this visit from nancy pelosi was for the country and what i want to change from it. well, the most important benefit of nancy pelosi is a visit for taiwan. is it's visibility on the international stage. the whole world now sees a free and democratic taiwan under pressure from china for tony's people. it's commitment 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 serenity as china clamps. taiwan is part of his territory. that is why china will be conducting large scale military 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 announcing 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 it's a price to pay to keep a democratic lifestyle. to co is, is that with his giant neighbor,

possibly do people in taiwan see parallels between their own situation and russia is invasion of ukraine affairs committee in the how yeah. people here watch very closely because oftentimes people will draw examples from, especially hong kong and euchre. and their people will be saying that is hong kong to day taiwan to moral or you chron today, town tomorrow. so people here are always have worries like this, but all of people still live are a no the, the normal life bird, i'll say like people watch very closely on china's warnings ideas. so tom hahn in taipei, thank you so much for reporting. human rights groups are calling for an independent inquiry into the depths of at least 27 migrants on the spanish moroccan borger. a preliminary investigation by morocco found that most of the victims likely suffocated, went up to 2000 people, tried to storm the border in melia in late june. the tiny expansion exclaims of

malea and se uta are the european union's only land borders with africa, making them a focus for migrants and refugees. a reporter, a young fellow shall travel to morocco and sent us this report. a warning and it does contain disturbing french. ah moroccan border guards round up and attack people trying to get over the fence even know how to get the violence in 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 can move, there will heat you till you can move. we meet

a troon in the derelict school in casablanca, 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 kit. sometimes they allowed the morrow can 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 turns account and we'll get him up. with a medical more, i saw several dozen migrants managed to get over the bottle. yeah. know what other law they will illegally devoted. straightaway american me wound up with. didn't even have like john's to game asylum. you'll have what he out of 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. 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, missile, and people going hungry, or there are real consequences from all of that or less realty. i was totally literate. 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. maroka half in morocco basically does. i know the will for us. we want to be seen as a beacon for human rights, but yeah, yeah. what i would have lucky in this fence, for example, was previously especially wishes type of raise

a shot bob wire. i'm rights activists complained that the spanish took it down to that then that would but then spin just paid morocco more money than what i mean with a not exactly the same res offense has gone up on the other side. what would it be? not in a level murphy, several spanish cities saw protests after the unrest on june 24. the interior minister now has to testified 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 attempt number 11. earlier i spoke to our correspondent christine wound were in brussels, and i asked her what the moroccan government has said about those deaths at the border. they maintain that most of the people who died on that day died in stampedes and there were over a 1002000 and effects or 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. i would miss 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. will people who sustained 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 caught. and he's praised the moroccan, a border security officials for helping to protect spain's a border. 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 ambition 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 is 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 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 safe passages for people who genuinely ad 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, claire, 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. as being up to speed now and some other stories, making headlines around the worlds, the army and burkina faso says it accidentally killed civilians during a counter terrorism operation. in the countries se residents of upon you. a village near the border with togo, say more than 30 people were killed in an air strike on monday. for kenneth faso has been battling

a jihadist insurgency which is now spilling over into togo. at least 11 people have been injured in a fire at a warehouse outside of moscow, belonging to russia's largest online retailer. huge clones of smoke could be seen to the north of the capital. as helicopters tried to extinguish the blaze. and german chancellor, olaf schultz has accused russia of delaying the delivery of a turbine needed to sustain gas applies to europe. la schultz declared, there were no problems with the turbine. yeah, moscow had said the absence of the equipment was the reason why it reduced gas flows through its nord stream, one pipeline, to germany. the 1st ship to export grain from a ukraine port since the russian invasion has been cleared to continue on its journey. after passing inspections, a ship called the rezo ne was inspected today while anchored in turkish waters. it's cargo was scrutinized by monitors from the un ukraine, turkey, and russia,

which demanded inspections to ensure ships are not carrying arms. there has only to parted odessa and ukraine on monday, carrying $26000.00 tons of corn. it is now passed through the boss for a straight, and is on its way to its final destination tripoli in lebanon. and from just on both of these, dorian jones told me how the operation unfolded. the whole search procedure took around 3 hours, 6 united nations. they describe it as a complete success. you have to understand that 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 is teaching a complex operation is seen as a major boost the whole project you're searching of the ship, the theme of the whole grain agreement to really help to 20000000 tons of ukrainian great trends in black sea pulled all the ships involved in the shipping of the train boat going to ukraine and coming back. and you will all have to be shot

search that this procedure went very well. they find that the old can luck. in fact, the un said that this is a proof of concept which basically the court to think it will now the trying to, to made a search for 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 it takes you to reach this point, many people said that this whole idea had no chance. we'll talk about exporting a grain from a war zone and people. so that isn't practical, but thanks to the intent to the united nation, 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 the domain to. so he says, are 3 motions waiting to go,

the ukrainian, or the thing, as 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 a mental grain meeting, getting for world markets in the world, grain private self report, it will make it very difficult for parties to pull out of this field. and also there's a recognition. there is a re $20000000.00 pounds of ukraine in grain inside on that has to be shifted. so it's a new harvey so great can go into those silence so. so everyone knows that they have to walk up and get this grain in the next $120.00 days on to well, bach is before the deal reaches the end of its agreement. as dorian jones reporting, while food and fuel prices are surging because of russia's war in ukraine, and some of the world's poorest regions are being hit hard. in parts of eastern africa. it's not just the rising costs, but also a severe drought that has put millions of people are risk of famine. please be

warned that the following report contains distressing images. me this is 6 months old at ron. he's eating a life, saving paste to treatment nutrition. at ron, it's one of 6 children. it's a struggle for his mother. i really pocky room to feed him. la la la la la la, la, la, middle again. we are hungry because we have nothing to eat. my mother in law, we only eat wild berries. oh, we have no light stuff, we have nothing. we depend on the trees where we collect while berries run up while we then crush them, cook them and eat them up. let's all our food. what a lot. oh, you are in a dire situation here and dragged ravaged kenya and eastern africa that makes the peanut paste or ready to use therapeutic food,

r u t f. for short. all the more essential. some 1700000 children in this region are suffering the most lethal form of malnutrition target. it's so critical early, if you get a patient of who is suffering from severe acute malnutrition, starting them with r u t f gives them a boost them and then we then usually see them afterwards and assess them the assist them money. but it does have an impact on their growth, the un children's fund. unicef has warned that the conflict in ukraine is making r u t. f. more expensive, as it drives up the price of food, including 3 of the pastes key ingredients, powdered milk, vegetable oils, and peanuts, and rising costs could mean less of the life saving food available. if

we ran out of this, more deaths would be recorded. verizon, verizon, we lost a ton. i. so we actually took 45 for them to mother had called that if our hospital one died was 2 and 3 of them survived. so this one is lead 7. without this motor, there will die unicef, which pies almost 80 percent of the world's supply of r u t. f says the price rises could lead to a significant drop in the number of children they can feed annually. based on current levels of funding. oblique statistic for this part of africa, with no end in sight to the drought here. and food prices showing no signs of dropping as rushes war in ukraine drags on. going to go to the united states now, where at the state of kansas has voted in favor of protecting abortion rights in a major victory for pro choice groups. referendum is the 1st state level electoral

test. since the supreme court overturned the nationwide, right? we'll portion guaranteed by rosie wade earlier this year. it was the resounding results. and of course 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 right to be from kansas and i, and i feel like we stayed ms. jonah enrollees, who in a very take care of me and my female friends and everyone are here, my middle say we are protected to me. others saw the kansas pole 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 on i think that that indicates that there is a big in the states to have those trigger was probably are out of stuck with what

the 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 the fact that i'm, i feel like i'm losing something other people that are losing life have no voice. if people move 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. sports news now and football clubs in the english premier league a say they will limit the use of the anti racism gesture of taking a ne, i made concerns that over use would dilute the league, say no to racism,

message fans. we'll see the gesture this weekend at the 1st games of the new season, and on other special events days. the taken the gesture 1st became prominent in sports in connection with the black lives matter movement in the united states. and wimbledon champion, novak joker, which has banked fans for a petition, trying to help him travel to the us open tennis tournament later this month. but the u. s. is unlikely to change its coven 19 rules to allow the unvaccinated joke of ich, into the country. the online petition is closer to its target of $50000.00 signatures ciocca, which says he's preparing as though he will be allowed to play. but his website shows no upcoming events. and the 1st hard court warm up tournament is already underway in washington dc. coming up next is asia with these stories. how china's military response to nancy pelosi is taiwan. visit is
