a simulation of an attack on the island badging as conducted. some of his largest ever maneuvers around taiwan this week. us house beacon nancy policies visit to taipei infuriated china, which regards the self ruling island as its own territory. relations between begging and washington have noise dived. as the alarm is sounded, soldier is a born this destroyer in the waters off taiwan immediately go into combat mode. oh, so don't don't within hours of nancy pelosi visit, chinese missiles that struck the seas north and 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. sister

missile launches beijing has taken an irresponsible step of a different kind. lincoln says china's using policies visit to taiwan as a pretext to disregard existing treaties. they've also suspended all 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 route to monitor the situation by the u. s. policy. it was for 50 years engagement with china. october now is 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 good there where we're going to rub up against each other. the chinese and 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. the w correspondence south zone hahn is in taipei. he earlier he told me more about china's latest military jills and what taiwan is 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 entry 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 monitored the situation closely and deployed on their 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 commune, monday, august, the 8th, but the chinese authorities just announced on the thing that they are going to conduct another life virus shooting drills on for another 10 days in the southern waters of the yellow sea. that's an area very close to, i'm 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 economic impact. if it becomes a new normal in the coming years, if trying to further isolate taiwan, it could disrupt how the economy and drive up inflation was dw 1000 in taipei. thank you. let's take a look now,

some of the other stories making headlines today. cuban authorities say $1755.00 is the missing after lightning struck an oil storage facility causing huge, causing explosions and a huge fire helicopters and fire crews are struggling to bring the blinds under control at the depot in the north and city of my tons, us over 80 people were injured, some we've serious burns, and at least 2 people have been killed and 22 others injured. no bomb blast in afghanistan, capital cobble. the device exploded in their shopping area. popular with members of the she community. it's the 2nd deadly last targeting the minority group in as many days. the so called is like state has claimed responsibility for the attack to the us. now former president donald trump has given a speech at this is the addition of c pac,

this is one of the country's top gatherings of political conservative looking to fire up voters ahead of mid term elections. this autumn, trump repeated the lie that he won the 2020 election. he also lashed out at joe biden and teased to possible run for the presidency in 2024. when i ran twice, i won twice and did much better. the 2nd time that i did the 1st getting millions and millions of more votes than in 2016. and likewise, getting more votes than any sitting president in the history of our country by far . and now we may have to do it again. we may have to w correspondence to miss on. miss gander was at c pack in dallas. and earlier she told us how much group 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 on the president. his name is on every been or 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 asked believed that he should run and be reelected again in 2024. so again, this is very much a crowd that is supportive of donald trump. you see it's influence here everywhere . on the other hand, we do have to say that this conference in particular reference 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've seen several primary. so a races in which republican candidates have been running. and those who have been endorsed by president trump have fared fairly well. so we can say that his influences still pretty strong. but just to add what the former deputy white house press, secretary hogan 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 and the party right now. see me on the scan to the in dallas. well, an outbreak of bird flu is decimating populations of sea birds along the southern course of europe's north sea. the problem stretches from britain and france east to germany and into the baltic sea as well. authorities call the 3 the scale of the outbreak unprecedented. for alias angle, it has become a sad routine every day to more than 2 months now. he puts on a protective suit and walks through the bird sanctuary, unmanned no counting dead sea birds. bird plume has ravaged this colony for weeks. almost 10000 birds ceased to live here. now over half are dead. johan, he'll finger in grand edward counted about 2800 adult birds,

sherburne, and overthrow a 1000. the young birds. you'll 3rd have died. we get off here long ago. outbreaks of avian influenza have occurred periodically for the last 15 years, but never has it been this bad. the virus tore through the colonies at the start of the breeding season. when the birds are nesting close together, the transmission risk is high, leaving the conservation team just to record fatalities. we can weak out and, but it has been very frightening. i'm damn didn't talk. where is he and birds dying every day turned in his head. there's nothing we can do. we can't help them. we're wondering what it means for the species and the long term that the prospect sir graham could now see here and dance worrying yar talisha shopping. and the problem is not confined to men's. no org along the whole coast. more birds have died since

the beginning of this summer than in previous years. for some rare bird species, the cases of mass deaths are alarming. therefore lucid out human lucille loss of adult birds like we have here that for around 50 to 60 percent again is a total disaster for the bird population in the southern north sea area. from here to france, the u. k. to the baltic sea, we have a huge problem, holes is pulling the conservationists only hoping to contact other group abroad and compare how the disease has developed in other sci swallow populations like or maybe we can draw some lessons to start the next year, as well as will can then check all measures among the individual colonies that seem promising and put them into practice, etc. oh, no snow see swell. i check survived on men's know oak this summer. the number of adult birds fell by half another season with similar losses. could mean the end of

the whole colony. oh, finally, now hundreds of thousands of people turned out to celebrate l. g, b, t, q. pride in amsterdam, a flotilla of over 80 boats representing various rights groups and bars. and even the dutch military took part, transforming amsterdam famous canals into one massive party. ah, you're up to date that date from may. sports life is up next. i'm jar, agreed billy, late you with a were interest in the global economy, our portfolio d. w. business. beyond here the closer look at the project.
