a simulation of an attack on the island by ging has conducted some of its largest ever maneuvers around taiwan this week. you as how speaker nancy pelosi visit to taipei infuriated china, which regards the self ruling island as its own territory. relations between beijing and washington have noise dived. as the alarm is sounded, soldiers aboard this destroyer in the waters off taiwan, immediately go into combat mode. will go down. within hours of nancy pelosi visit. chinese missiles struck the seas north, south and east of taiwan. multiple war planes are also circling the island of 23000000. crossing the demarcation line that divides the taiwan strait. an unofficial buffer zone between china and taiwan and a major route for vessels. almost half the global container fleet. nearly 90

percent of the world's largest ships passed through the taiwan strait this year. since their missile launches, beijing has taken an irresponsible step of a different cut blinkin, says china, using policies visit to taiwan as a pretext to disregard existing treaties. they've also suspended or climate cooperation with united states. the world's largest carbon emitter is now refusing to engage on combating the climate crisis in response to china's military drills. the pentagon has ordered a u. s. aircraft carrier to remain in the waters near taiwan. it says the u. s. s. ronald reagan and the ships in her strike group will stay in the area with her bruce to monitor the situation. the u. s. policy, it was for 50 years engagement with china october now. as seen as a big danger from the united states. horner view. this is quite a dramatic jane. a sentiment echoed by conservative media in the us. tensions still

rising around taiwan, china halting, some ties with the we need to be strong. that's what shine understands. it's not words. it's not press releases, it's actual strength and presence in the region, a delicate balancing act for washington, and it's longstanding policy of strategic ambiguity. the practice of being intentionally ambiguous on the status of taiwan, which china seas as a break away province. it's going to continue. we're going there, we're going to rub up against each other. the chinese in us are going to rub up against each other, not just in the military, but in the economic realm. it whole range of issues and you kind of cold war between 2 superpowers. ok, let's get the latest now from d. w correspondence out on han in type. hey, good to see you. a tie. one says these drills appeared to simulate a chinese attack. could you tell us a bit more about that and also what ty, ones doing in response shirt. this is the 1st time the

chinese military has been so close to taiwan. the close this area of the drill is less than 20 kilometers from time was men island. this exercise provide the basis for long standing speculation that the chinese army may prefer an island locked down strategy designed to prevent any merchant ships worships an aircraft from entering as well as to prevent the entry of u. s. forces stationed in this area. the chinese military clearly has all the military capabilities to enforce such a blockade. in response, the taiwanese army met, monitored the situation closely and deployed on there most, the cutting edge defense system and weapons to counter the threat. okay, when do you expect these military exercises might end? it was set to be the come in monday, august the 8th, but the chinese authorities just announced on the thing that they are going to conduct another life. fire shooting drills on for another 10 days in the southern waters of the yellow sea. that's an area very close to south korea and it has been

sending a warning to the u. s. military basis in this area. so there's now just one military exercise after another. it's clear that china is trying to change the status quo of this area. and the military exercise could become a new, normal, new, normal changing of the status quo. the people of taiwan have been living with chinese threats for many years. how worried are they about these latest tensions? i know some expert groups and the multinational firms have started to discuss evacuation plans before local taiwanese. they grew up living with china threats in the past 70 years. so life goes on even during the unprecedented drills. and i've talked to a lot of people on the street, most of them don't believe there will be an immediate war. some told me that they feel more disgusted. they're scared by this. however, people are quite concerned about the normal impact. if it becomes a new normal in the coming years, if trying to further isolate taiwan,

it could disrupt how as economy and drive up inflation. ok, that was d w out some hand in taipei. thank you. let's take a look now at some of the stories making headlines today, at least 2 people had been killed and 22 others injured in a bomb blast in afghanistan, capital capital. the device exploded in a shopping area. popular with members of the shia community. it's the 2nd day of lee last targeting the minority group in as many days. the so called islamic state has claimed responsibility for the attack. cuban authorities say 17 fire fighters and missing after lightning strike, an oil storage facility, causing explosions and a huge fire helicopters and fire cruises struggling to bring the place under control. at the depot in the northern city of my towns,

dw correspondence. zoom is almost gander, was at c pack in dallas. she told us a little bit earlier. how much grip and influence donald trump still has on the republican party. i can see that if you want to see pack, you see some of the stands behind me. you'll get the impression that donald trump is omnipresent. his name is on every banner, every hat, every card, every flag. so certainly among this crowd, he is still very popular and still holds a lot of influence. in fact, they ran a poll of members here just before donald trump came out in stage a little bit earlier. and 69 percent of those who were acts believed that he should run and be re elected again in 2024. so again, this is very much a crowd that a supportive of donald trump you see is influence here everywhere. on the other hand, we do have to say that this conference in particular, rapper, it represents the right wing of the republican party. there are republicans who would like to see a change in the party, but i'd like to add that just the past few weeks, we seen several primary. so a racism which republican candidates have been running. and those who have been

endorsed by president trump have fared a fairly well. so we can say that his influence is still pretty strong. but just to add what the former deputy white house press secretary hoping kidley told us, he said president, trump is not going anywhere. you can't get around him either he will be the president again, or he will be the king maker. so that says a lot about where his influence stands in the party right now. for the blended league as to berlin, clamps. it was during the day in the opening fixture and yawn, hosted helter and once again claimed bragging rights in the capital clash on your own. quite happily hosted has her for the opening fixture, having beaten back crosstown rivals 3 times last season. but visiting fans were hoping new faces at the helm would market turn around at the club. coach sandwich faults joined from dynamo, moscow, and the new club president is one of their own. chi brownstein,
