ah ah ah this is dw news lie from berlin, nancy pelosi vows china will not isolate taiwan. the u. s. speaker of the house is says, beijing won't succeed in cutting taiwan off from the rest of the world. as china puts on a huge show of military force around the island. also on the program,

ukraine's president rebuked the human rights organization amnesty international after it accuses, keeps troops of endangering civilians close. aah! i pablo for lily as welcome to the program. us have speaker nancy pelosi has commented on her controversial visit to taiwan by saying the u. s. will not allow china to isolate the island. tensions are high in the taiwan strait following her visit, and china is conducting life far military drills around the island. pelosi made her comments in japan on the final leg of a trip to asia. her stop over in taiwan, enraged, china's government, which considers the island a part of its territory. let's listen to what nancy pelosi has to say. the chinese have tried to isolate taiwan. they may try to keep high wind from visiting or

participating in other places, but they will not isolate taiwan by preventing us to travel there. we've had high level visit senators in the spring, a bipartisan way, continuing visits, and we will not allow them to isolate taiwan. well, andrew, small from the asia program at the german marshall fund to analyze this for us earlier. we asked him what the u. s. could do to prevent china from isolating taiwan. oh, this isn't, as she said, just the united states. certainly the visit itself was that kind of show of support . a demonstration that and whatever the position trying to take parliament terean's and a little makers at least and will continue to come through and, and make their visits. and this isn't just us. parliamentarians and we'll makers, we've seen that at increasing from european parliamentarians to i think, in

a context in which there is a sense that taiwan is under heightened threat and within the parameters of a one china policy that and countries need to start strengthening economic linkages . personal ties, pushing the on the informal side, even as beijing has been squeezing on the diplomatic side in terms of its international recognition. expanding the scope of informal recognition, essentially showing that other countries have a stake in, in taiwan on doing that and as direct and, and personal away as, as, as possible. so i think the sense is that the collective responsibility of, of nations around the world am and that policies visit itself was part of that process. under what's your take on china's drills, which are the least seem to simulate a blockade of taiwan. china takes an approach to these things that some of characterized as a kind of reaction. we assertiveness that is they wait for an opportunity like this . and then they move ahead with the series of moves that they plan to make at some

point anyway. and in this case, it has indeed given plane or the opportunity to test out its capacity to pull off. what does look very much like a kind of blockade simulation testing it's missiles, it's claims testing times air defense is more intensely the cyber capabilities. and i think for a lot of people, this is what they're worried about 1st, rather than an outright invasion, that this is the kind of steps that we would see from china. and this has been an opportunity that they've taken advantage of to, to test out whether that might be possible. the pa, are chinese military and is, is, is on tested in a significant way in real combat. so this is an opportunity for them to press ahead with some of these maneuvers and, and push the limits of things that they hadn't done before. right. well, japan has said that several chinese missiles have landed in its economic zone. so what is this own, and is it a mouth miscalculation? do you think from the chinese side, or rather a threat? so these, this is,

this is the 1st time as far as we are aware that the missiles half landed in japan's exclusive economic zone. it was within the territory that china had designated foot fit for these drills to take place. and i think it should be noted in this context that japan has made clear in recent years that it is prepared to be directly engaged with the united states. if trying to work, take military action against taiwan and, but i think this is less about a direct threat at to japan, given the specific location, put it to place mores china. simply saying that it as the prerogative to act as it sees fit, am around tie one's periphery a regardless of the concerns of, of, of neighboring countries and, and particularly with our list of the consent of the japanese. right. let's talk about china's economy because it's facing many challenges at the moment. could beijing afford a large scale confrontation with taiwan and its allies? i think was to be understood about the chinese economy for all of twenty's economic

weight. and it's still relying on the dollar system is still reliant when u. s. technology at yes, it's current economic situation is indeed very fragile. it is probably the weakest economics, a situation that we've, we've seen there in a couple of decades, for instance, the aftermath of 10 men. and, but if we saw the same sanctions imposed on russia for instance, that were imposed on on china fractions against i one and it would be even more costly. i think for china, china is well aware of this. even if it's economy, we're in a much stronger position and it would, it would face them really severe consequences if, if, if the thought of measures would've been taken. and, but it's short of that level of a confrontation and even short of an outright invasion. i think what we're seeing from companies in countries right now in questioning, really of a level of exposure to china. whether it make over the level of exposure makes sense. whether it needs to be kind of a hot or push for economic diversification amendment just about taiwan or about trends, dealings with russia, about 0 cobra policy m as well. and really the senate in china for dealing with an

authoritarian regime that is prone to these increasingly ill judged, maybe domestically and internationally. am that some of the risks that becoming a problem under small with the german martial fund? thank you. thank you. well, as mentioned, those drills are causing tension in the region and fueling fairs. a war may break out. our correspondent in taiwan, zachary lee has been speaking with fishermen in the south west part of the island of at the impact of the drills. this was the very 1st time that captain shin home in has had to return to port due to chinese military exercises. he says he's never before felt so threatened by beijing's actions. and he doesn't want to take any risks. they weren't gonna get, well i heard about the live fire exercise. i wonder if so we're scared scared of being hit by missile. we go about i was supposed to work for 10 days now i will

lose more than $3000.00 us dollars for shortening my fishing. time, it's fine for me this time. well, but what of chinese military exercise has become the new normal here? how may i know? chin is not alone. hundreds of fishing boats are lying idle in ports across tie one . many of their crews are worried that the drills might affect their livelihoods over the long term. china started military exercise this in 6 areas in water surrounded taiwan wrap and nancy pelosi left. and one of the areas is lead lintel miles. from where i am a put the di, insulting i one, and this cool mark, a new phase of frequency, highlighting the chinese people's liberation. army begins to military drills from august, 4th, to 7th. please pay attention, jackie, you, i did actually didn't. yes, this is the 1st time that the national fishery radio station has made such warnings

in don gunn, which has one of tie, one's largest fishing harbours. even the announcer herself, finds it unusual. which is, i won't care for 29. yes, and this is the 1st time i need to announce a warning about police military exercise. this. the situation here is very tense to getting some. china's military drills have already effected and worried many fishermen in taiwan, the taiwanese military is on high alert. however, most of the residents here don't seem to be worried about a possible war when the obama to read. i can't predict if war will break out or not, is away. i don't want to think about it. if it happens, it happens, jehovah, i'm not too worried about us. thinking too much. it doesn't help out. i wish i had to him if of greens and they've been saying it for a long time. china has said they will attack us, but it has never happened. this time they probably just want to scare us

shy, so i shall miguel, my kids a warrant to baltimore. they asked if it was possible here and that height, i told them where the shelters. ah, but we have no control over it. i don't want to worry about something that i can't control china's life. i. a military exercises have already raised tensions in the taiwan straits to the highest level in decades. but that is not anything that fisherman chin home in can change to him. what really matters is going out to fish to earn a living for himself and for his family will add to the war in ukraine where the country's president, the sharply criticized to human rights organization, amnesty international follow the mir zalinski has accused of victim blaming. after amnesty alleged ukrainian troops had endangered civilians while fighting russian soldiers on the ground in ukraine,

there is reported to be heavy fighting in the south close to the russian held city of harrison. and in the eastern time, yet region ukrainian civilians have fled their homes. forced to leave by incessant rushing, chatting the train station and donnette, evacuating the old and the young boy exhausted westwood. ordinary ukrainians caught up in fierce fighting and forced to leave their homes with whatever they can carry. miss, but you see we are from a village near lisa chance kits between the landscape donuts. grievance have village has been ruined. there's no gas, no water, no electricity. we were sitting in the basement for a month. the army bought us here to the and i believe was nothing. the government has ordered civilians to lead combat zones in done at school.

but the danger may not be just from russian attacks. amnesty international accuses ukraine of basing troops and populated areas, putting civilians at risk and violating the laws of war. keith was furious. each shook to if someone prepares a report in which the victim and the aggressor are allegedly the same in some way. if information about the victim is analyzed, while something the aggressor does is ignored, this cannot be tolerated in waves. ah ukrainian soldiers face a grinding battle to keep the remaining regions of eastern dumbass out of rushing control for another and to avoid shelling. the total was, i don't know, the sort of got the x to the wrong. we sit in the trenches, do the, the enemy shelves, us and we can't even stick our heads out of it. now there are no small arms fights as they used to be. to day it is an artillery battle evil as if he just jump into

the trench and wait for the strike. away from the front lines, the evacuation of civilians from denis continues. the question is whether that will be enough to keep them safe while for more let's bring indeed, abuse russia, analyst, constantine, haggard, constantine, great to see. so turkey's president at one played an important role in the grand deal. and later today, he'll be meeting russian president, couldn't in sochi on the black sea. so is this another attempt by aired want to mediate in the ukraine war? well, it is an impulse meeting because everyone is pretty much the only nato, a leader who is still on speaking terms with put and indeed the menu is quite too long. it is, i think, continuing to debate production of barack tar turkish drones in russia, which put in desperately wants and try to convince eldon to give

a license to russia if you days ago, couple of weeks ago and iraq. another thing that i think will be on the table is a continuation of grain shipments from ukraine and pool to my the black sea to the world. and number 3, i think that maybe they're going to discuss yet another attempt to start some kind of dialogue. some kind of negotiation with ukraine. i think that of putting probably really wanted this time because a few days ago his big paul chancellor schroeder, of german chancellor schroeder, of germany a published an interview in which he said, i spoke to put him, you know, they won't negotiation on their terms, but they still want to talk, and i think that maybe he's going to, again talk to everyone about the possible conditions for opening a such, such kind of negotiation to we have any idea of a timeline or, or of how those talks may or come about. well,

i do not have it, frankly speaking, i do not think your grain will agree to any kind of talks unless they're very, very case specific like the grain shipments and even then there were conducted with actually turkish mediation. they will not a direct, a russian, a russian graham talks. but i do think that everyone considers himself to be this got to go between, between 2 to the and the outside world. and he's trying to play this role. it plays up to his prestige. and it keeps putting to some extent in the loop we have to to say, put in respect ever because in he's world view, he's a stroll, quote unquote, leader, as opposed to western ones. thank you, constantine. tito. here is russia analyst, constantine aggregate let's take a look now at some of the other stories making headlines around the world. the u. s . is calling on the kremlin to accept what it describes as

a substantial offer to swap for a basketball player. brittany griner. earlier, a russian court sentenced greiner to 9 years in prison for drug possession and smuggling. the white house has not disclosed details of its offering proves congress has refused to allow the president to leave the country. lawmakers denied pedal castillo request to travel to columbia, ordering him to stay home and handle a political crisis. and new peruvian cabinet is due to be sworn in today. he's been 10 workers are trapped under grand aft. remind collapsed in northern mexico. rescue teams aren't working round the clock to get them out. 5 other minors escaped. authorities are still trying to make contact with the men. an american conspiracy theorist has been ordered to pay over $4000000.00 in damages to the parents of a child killed in a u. s. school shooting, the family say they suffered years of harassment because alex jones spread false claims that the sandy hook massacre was a hoax. it's 2 years since

from lebanese officials, they accused the government of stalling the investigation to evade responsibility for one of the biggest non nuclear explosions ever recorded. and this was bustling neighborhood that was heavily damaged by the blast. reminders of this, still open wound are all round. the scars is still there, i didn't turn in the study, especially that we haven't seen justice yet. we haven't moved on protesters headed to the scene of to 2020 explosion where things looked eerily familiar, remains of green. silas heavily damage and blast collapsed before the eyes of protesters for local residence. the sound of sirens smoke hanging over the port and helicopters flying overhead brought back a familiar feeling. that was just when i saw the smoke. i felt like i was back at the scene of the explosion. i was afraid again, this way,

if lebanon fails to provide answers, rights group say, don't seek justice through international pro. well, briefly in other news, this are the u. s. government has declared monkey bought a public health emergency. the announcement freeze of money and other resources to fight the virus. monkey pox can cause fever, aches, chills, and fatigue. more than 7000 americans have become infected. a panel of un experts has concluded that rwandan troops attacked soldiers in the east of the democratic republic of congo, aided by the local rebel group, m 23. according to a report seen by the reuters news agency, the rwandan government has repeatedly denied any connection with the m 23 militia. in south africa, protesters of attack suspected illegal mind workers in the city of cruise, dork, around 80 men, thought to be miners were arrested earlier over gang raping

a group of women during the filming of a music video at the endangered siberian tiger is one of the largest wildcat, species in the world, native mainly to russia. it's also found in some parts of northern china. but there are estimated to be only around $600.00 left in the wild. these numbers have prompted conservation efforts in china at least the results have been promising. these images are the prove, rare pictures of february and tiger caps shot by an hidden infrared camera. this species is critical, endangered, but in north east and sign, our 10 babies were born in 2021. putting the number of the remaining big cats living in the white up to 600 animals. saburo and tigers, also known as arm. we're all maturing tigers. are the biggest living cats from head to tail there matter about 2 meters and can read a weight of 300 kilos. destruction of their habitat poaching and trophy hunting are

the biggest threats to the survival of the species. but conservation efforts are and the way lea jazel hallmark. china has constructed multiple natural reserves and monitoring stations. what to intensify patrol and management of the tigris habitat shows a number of projects focusing on protecting wild animals and plants as well as the construction of natural reserves have been implemented in the north east and sign his provinces of dealing. and hey, long jesus, the country has established a 1400000 hector nature reserve. rangers patrolling regularly. they removed traps, set by posters and sec if the ben uncommercial logging is complied with. the big cats need the forest to creep up on their prey. 2022 is the year of the tiger and the chinese lunar calendar. so the country is proud to announce that the population

of the wide saburo and tigers has increased from 27 in 2017, to more than 60 to day football now and germany's bonus. we get kicked off when champions byron travel to i'm tracked frankfurt later and it's the start of a new era for the bavarian byron are looking to win their 11th title in a row. this is steve. so without the goals of prolific striker, robert leverage, does this move to barcelona? the champions have made some big name signings themselves, but they face a tough task against frankfurt. his coach on the back last night masterminded their victory in the euroleague last season. all right, well joining me to preview deep on this league as restart is our sports report. mark, mark, mark, mark could see it. so jeremy's top mentally kicked off with this big match, frankfurt, hosting champions barn. what can we expect from it?

i think what buyer and funds are hoping for is the start of a brave new year with robert live in both ski. are they going to hit the ground running? are these new signings that they've made going to come in through the job? they've made some really high profile savings, haven't really made a direct replacement, but so the money is one player that's come in from liverpool. very high profile, primarily gwen or chunking sleep. when are we hoping he can fill the gap there in terms of goals that you know robot living those keys to? yeah, absolutely. and also by and play with a recognize number 9, which is very odd for them the through the last few years. last few decades, actually if you think of mario gomez, look at 2011 dusky, they've always had that focal point. so new buyer and also an interest in frankfurt site coming off of a wonderful high last season and the euroleague winning for stay trophy since 980. so the home funds will be ready to greet their heroes and not have a week trophy as well. so should be a really good much yeah,

bringing the confidence perhaps. so let's talk about 2 other big teams. dormant in leipzig who also added star names. so one of the aiming to achieve or should i even ask that? well, i think and need to get away from them. this becomes something of a selling club over the last few years. and that the really too big a club to be, to be seen is that, you know, the likes of the get someone like hole in or sent you in the cell phone, big money with winning trophies and see the trophies there that they have one in the past, they need to get back so that the role in tears it and he was the last month you actually went to for them as a caretaker, boss. that was 2 years ago when the german called, he didn't get the job, but he's been given it know that mark rules as left the local boy and the thought and funds love them, grow and some, some fairly high profile, new savings, karima to me because a lot of back and there's like the big money as well. so they'll be hoping to, i think when a trophy and probably the german cups are best. but as for like say,

a thing. they want to come last even if they can do that and get jumping to the place that would be a success, a successful season for them. now mark, i'm going to ask you that what could be a potentially controversial answer and who do you see winning the type of race? this is a, i think, i think we buy and again, i just, every year that the problem is the, you know, for the other teams, it's a vicious circle buyer. and when they get more high profile, they get more money. you know, they get better chance the champions league, we're going to try better players. so i can't really can't really see beyond, you know, the, the players that they brought in the likes of money to select from event is for 67000000. yeah. the other, the other teams can't touch that. the only thing i could see maybe 2 in a spanner in the works would be if the, if the don't a, just to know i've been living dusky. if that's more of a mental thing with the team, kind of just about folk not having that focal point. but no, i mean i think it'll be by on and then best of the rest. again, i think your answer will go down. well, with some people in the news room, i know there is not some which mark are going from did of the sports. thanks. right

. well, before we go, some unusual wildlife has taken to the chicago river, a flock of 75000 rubber ducks raced along the waterway. a we're raising money for the special olympics donors placed their money on individual ducks, hoping for a payout. proceeds will fund sporting opportunities for adults and children with special learning needs. on the date there was a winning duck, but as they say in sport, it's the taking part, the cats out they came to about river. so here's a reminder of the top stories we're following for you. this r u. s. high speaker nancy pelosi says beijing will not be allowed to isolate taiwan. she made the statement after china began a series of military drills around taiwan following policies visit to the audit.
