[000:00:00;00] ah ah, and those who play with fire will come to no good end. and those who offend china must be penalize tension. sanctions and military drills follow in the wake of nancy pelosi footsteps. she leaves tired. china warns that both washington on the south governed island will face consequences. over the u. s. i speakers come through personal with a wall of silence goes up from a you officials over at policies, trip with the only statement being that there is no change to the block policies towards china. and russia blames a quote,

gross violation of its security and dressed by nato countries for bringing on the rail possibility of a direct conflict between nuclear powers a wherever you are catching the program from today across the world. welcome to moscow on the global news update on our t. our top story. china has begun military drills in areas surrounding time on the move comes in response to the visit of us. how speaker nancy pelosi to taipei. beijing announced plans for 6 zones encircling taiwan where it would carry i'd lie, fire drills including miss i launches

with the speaker. pelosi departed tie one earlier today during her visit, she met the territory president who hunted her taiwan highest civilian armour for her contribution to us. i want relations that sells us officials repeatedly stated, washington does not support taiwanese independence. while lucy said her visit was evidence of america's commitment to supporting democracy on the island. the u. s. house of representative speaker was the highest ranking american official to visit taiwan in a quarter of

a century. me. let's discuss the story live now with ortiz nicky. are in. hi there, nicky. yes. so that pollute the pilgrimage. that was, has wrapped up. but what happens now, what some of the possible consequences of the high profile a visit? well, it was literally a flying visit by pillows. he was an issue, arrived late on tuesday, not in less than 24 hours later she was already on the train back home. this the briefest the visits that's already having a significant impact while the trip spunk something of a love. pelosi love fest in tai pay, as you said, she was awarded the highest civilian honors during that short trip. in paging its been met with up salut fury. they won't pelosi against making this trip again and again. and now opens a very dangerous period in relations between us, taiwan and china. now we have statement issued on wednesday, china's foreign minister, one. he did not make his words when speaking about china's response, he spoke about those who play with fire. those who offend china will be punished.

it's becoming very clear that these weren't just words, were already seeing a robust response to this unprecedented visit. jonathan that sees military drills which are going to be starting on thursday. the last for 5 days. that taking place to 10 miles from taiwan. this is some of the, this is in some of the worlds at busiest waterways and it will include long range live ammunition shooting. now the chinese military, they've said, look, everybody needs to avoid this area, old boats and planes for 3 days. but as we know, the us isn't keen on taking advice from bating. we've seen that with this pelosi visit. so whether they choose to hate the advice of china hair or whether they choose to further test the result of china and continue to send its boats and planes into the airy remains to be seen. let's take a listen now at the rhetoric that son and the developing rhetoric of the past few hours and tricia,

those are you sure. such retrogressive moves won't changed international consensus that there's only one china in the world, nor they can reverse the historical trend of reunification of the mainland and taiwan. those who play with fire will come to no good end and those who offend china must be penalized. we resolutely defend national sovereignty and will counter any aggression against national sovereignty. we will strengthen our vigilance with irrational attitude, which won't escalate conflicts a nicki. it's not only but military action is an economic action. whatever they can do and not regard. that's very much to the forefront to which one is already taking beef to impose a quick economic cost on high pay for its role in pillows these visits? slapped import suspensions on $35.00 tie when he's exposed of biscuits and pastries . since monday this was well ahead of these visits, they can spare a thought and for the people working in those industries,

the economic impacts this will have on many people's lives. it's unclear whether more suspension looming. but if aging really wants to stick the booth and hit to type a where it hurts, then it's going to target the timelines biggest export to china by value, which is of course, electronics and parts machinery. plastics and chemicals global markets are already spooked by the pelosi visits on the initial fall out. stockton semiconductor parts already. so globally on shoes, they had the end of the visit also along with global market. so investors braced for the economic fall out from this trip. what about from within taiwan itself? what's the immediate take there on pelosi stop? well, like i said, on the one hand we've got this pelosi love fest that being felt in taiwan with a local media. some even, you know, flattering pelosi of her outfits saying she looked like audrey hepburn when she met j. f. k. back in the day. and then we have others who

a little bit most get the call back. very conscious of the precarious impact that this visit will happen. one of those being the former time when he's on boston danny nanny pill, let him in below. see what the hell i didn't care right now. come all the way here to support the taiwanese people. support yourself, you wanna support us to fight against the peoples with aeration, army and that americans always ask us to let more time when these people joined the army. whenever you come to ty winder, i want us to buy more weapons from you and fight against that people's liberation army in urban terrain. it's none of your business. i hate to support a wine or to provoke a war. what the hell are you doing here? below see the relationship between the mainland and taiwan is already very tense. you are supporting to wine, what we don't need your support. you are literally referring oil on the flame nicely. you only make things worse. meanwhile, on the streets of taiwan, people as split as well, some in full support of the policy visit us as others. just think that she's

causing trouble i think it is the u. s. policy. they just care about themselves. they don't care about the problem of ordinary people in other countries. i think it is wrong to just do what the us wants. policy should respect the will of the taiwanese people. i soon, though, maybe try to clarify us. rather, it's so many times. okay, duct, the old story, the old with com, you know, with comma wasn't way it will somewhat affect i one, but will it affect our daily normal lives? i personally think it will not, at least for the next 2 years. so what we're seeing play out now is this ripple effect, this very brief trip by nancy pelosi and whether intentional or not days. that creates a ripple effects. of course, as we know, ripples turning to waves, these waves will be felt globally how significantly remains to be seen. but we're going to get a clearer picture in the coming allison days. yeah, and local certainly asking the pertinent questions. there are nikki, thanks very much. ortiz nick urine. well, investigative journalist edward zone believes nancy pelosi visit to taiwan was

meant as a distraction from america's own problems at home. we have another example of the united states overextending itself. me for example, with nancy pelosi, i think all this visit was, well the, a high, a high cost distraction as opposed to knows that the average american can't even point out where tiwana is on a map, passes the cost of food, the cost of fuel. these are the things that after americans care about, but then we see nancy pelosi and taking a little bit of vacation around the world and at a time when trying to nothing but to gain from digging. churchill now they get the entire world to concentrate on. sure. and what their motor is capable, what the show is, 1st of all, is the child is able to project power for its own country. time want to turn on the doorstep. you're going to see the use of futuristic, i'd say, interesting, but high technology, long range, ballistic missiles. they're going to use this as the firing mechanism for many of

the indirect bar there to show off. and the reason going to do this is because the united states as a counter to it. another aspect to this story, nancy pelosi visit to taiwan, was met really with a wall of silence from european governments. according to the only official statement from the you, the block is not rushing the publicly support the move of the u. s. representative . we have seen the recent media reports about the arrival and taiwan of the speaker of the us house of representatives, nancy pelosi. we don't have any specific comments to add. we encourage the peaceful resolution of the issues in the strait. the e u and the e u. member states remain committed to the use one china policy, the reaction within the european union to air pelosi putting wheels down in taiwan is remarkable by its deafening silence. it's one thing for you to pay lip service to what it calls the preservation of peace in a rather boiler plate statement that apparently took

a whole day to come up with. but why is it so suddenly shy about taking sides in this, when they're usually so quick to shoot off their mouths when it's far too late? especially when speaking out could act as a counterweight to a washington provocation and prevent conflict or even war. if the e you had done the same in ukraine, that is have the courage to stand up against washington's constant provocations on the russian border. then maybe it would now be bearing the brunt of its own ideologically driven anti russian sanctions. and sure, nancy pelosi, a speaker of the house is the 3rd top ranked american official. but she's also a career as on havoc i to her when it comes to china. in particular. washington post is called this trip a culmination of decades of challenging china. sure. whatever floats your boat, nancy pelosi, but you can't then argue that her presence in taiwan, which let's face it, washington exploits as a proxy to go. china is just business as usual and not a provocation. it's too bad that europe blocks real statesman these days like

former french president, jacques you hock, or former german chancellor. gerhard schroeder, who took an unwavering stand against washington's drive for war in iraq, 2 decades ago, alongside russian president vladimir putin. the question is, why are european leaders so lacking, encouraged to speak out against u. s. foreign policy and instead making weak neutral mealy mouthed statements in the case of taiwan may be allied silence is the result of seeing how some of them has been lambasted by their own western counterparts for even suggesting rational diplomacy is the path forward instead of provocation. for example, former nato secretary general anders vogue rasmussen even considered that french president, a mentor and mac holes call for diplomacy with russia over ukraine, was directly harmful to taiwan. so now apparently, according to this esteem, former nato chief, if you aren't actively provoking russia using ukraine or provoking china using tie

one, then you're inviting war. likewise, canadian prime minister just inter was given flock last year for stopping a nato linked forums. provocation of china over taiwan trudeau, intervene to stop the halifax security for him, held regularity and canada from giving tie one's president. it's john mccain award, named after the late neo con, warhawks, american senator, who had an uncanny knack for turning up in places like ukraine and syria not hung before the trouble started. there are other cases of you officials getting in trouble for standing against washington foreign policy provocations. like when the you in bassett, her to cuba, alberto navarro openly stood against us sanctions and was subsequently recalled to brussels to explain himself. even though the u. s. cube is main export and trade partner. brussels missed a golden opportunity to lead the world stage over the taiwan drama and to position itself as

a truly honest broker. which would have meant not simply calling for peace, but also taking a firm public unambiguous stand against washington's dangerous games. gil, it's turner to a developing story from just outside moscow. this are a blazing inferno has engulfed a huge warehouse belonging to one of russia's largest online retailers. oh, so one person has reportedly been killed and 13 injured people have been posting videos of the incident on social media. a giant column of smoke can be seen, billowing into the sky above. at the vast warehouse, according to workers, the fire broke out during the lunch break, part of the buildings roof collapsed in more than a 1000 people we believe were reportedly evacuated from the warehouse. although for are said to be missing, will be keeping co signed developments here from that's what looks like

a huge fire in the moscow region. the threats of a direct conflict between world nuclear powers is evident and tangible that's according to a russian diplomat attending and much vaunted un conference alarms, controls group and number senior, putting support around the, the gross violation of the principle of equal and indivisible, security as a result of the harmful expansion of the military block of countries claiming undivided, military, strategic and geopolitical dominance. it provoked an acute crisis in the center of europe. the hybrid military campaign has been unleashed against russia, which, which could result in a direct conflict between nuclear power system. i was my you put in that way eager vis. novit ski was speaking of a review conference for the non proliferation of nuclear weapons in new york. now he once again reaffirm moscow's commitment to building a world free of nuclear weapons mosque also sees at once the immediate resumption

of the iran nuclear deal arguing there is no alternative. the diplomat also underline, not the progress achieved over the years, quote, has been devalued by the u. s. u when they ignored russia, security interests. no doubt sentiment was echoed by china, which has called for the rejection of a double standards. they allege in nuclear, non proliferation starting with portion may want the united states should withdraw all its nuclear weapons from europe, and refrain from deploying nuclear weapons in any other region. logan jam, what are the well, the u. s. is pointing the finger tehran imposing, yet more sanctions on a runs petroleum industry. washington is demanding. the country returns to the pac, named the john comprehensive plan of action, which the u. s. itself quit under president trump. we have imposed sanctions on entities trading in iranian petroleum. and petro chemicals, we will keep using our authorities to target ron's exports of these products until

iran is ready to return to full implementation of its commitments under a mutual return to the j. c. p. away. a very different view and around american studies professor at the university of iran food is abi believes, the idea of sanctioning iran for a deal. the u. s. itself quit signifies the current chaos amid washington's political establishment. you know, the united states addiction on sanction sanctioning iraq and for the last for the so you don't have been surviving. and there's sanctions. has been prospering under sanctions, on mountain sciences, and in different fields of providing services of the people here are quite expensive and sooner or later as the american official realize that by sanctioning countries, they're not going to each the objective. they have was the united states that left

the agreement during the top administration and by the administration could return to the agreement and the 1st day of by the presidency. the same that he did read the paris climate records and other agreements that tom had left. he refused. there are lots of problems in washington. there's a lot of disagreement and in fighting and the run and government alterations your life. if they don't pay attention to this chaos in washington, you're going to face the same difficulty that they faced. the last time pakistan, former prime minister, him run, can, may be doing everything he can to return to power. but the country's government appears to be doing everything it can to stop him. after the financial times reported cans party allegedly receive prohibited donations from foreign citizens

and company's pocket study politicians call for election authorities to launch a probe and to the funding counts party, branded the allegations as absolutely fault. no foreign funding has been proven. another propaganda of pakistan democratic movement has been exposed serious and ridiculous mistakes in the decision of the election commission. calling the funding of pakistani citizens foreign funding. it comes after mister collins pakistan movement for just this part. he will set to claim a key scalp in an election to fill a powerful post of punjab chief minister that positions temporarily held by the soul of the current prime minister. counts candidates earned enough foods in the legislative assembly to win. but then events took a bizarre twist in a letter, a minor political party leader asked the legislative officials not to kind its

block of 10 votes unless they favored the pm san hansa, shabazz, the deputy speaker, subtracted those votes from count side, undeclared shabazz had won by 3 votes with a strong live now to international law and geo political, unless her son, slum shot for his take. you're most welcome sir. and ron can don't seem determined to get the pri ministerial rule back, but plenty of hurdles are being put in his way as it stands. how do you read his chances? so of if you look back at the last of 4 months, we see a lot happening in bug respond, which is unprecedented. and we can safely see that it's been happening for the 1st time. we have someone like him, ron hahn was truly a leader. somebody who has a vision for august and he wants to change the country for the better. and the forces of the school want to stonewall him. they want to make sure that he exists

the political scene. and the reason why they see him run as a threat is because him bron exposes their shenanigans, the corruption. and he talks about accountability. so if i was to use to describe him, ron relevant in today's bucket study, political climate, i would say that this is boxed on camino moment where you have a ruler who has the backing of the vast majority of the people. the people are fed up of corruption, the fed up of nepotism and they want the system to be cleansed of all the corruption which has been eating into their income. it has been eating into their prospect for betterment in the future. be entire system today is stacked against him. rhonda con, they want to oust him. they want to make sure that he remains out of state and he never makes a come back. but if you look at him, runs history as

a cricket to initially in his 1st 40 years when he was leading the parks, i'm cricket team. and then if you look at the, the last 2647 years since he came into politics. one thing that define thing is the fact that he makes a come back. he bounces back when you least expect him to write the people. i'm sorry to you don't expect. and these accusations of receiving foreign donations. well, that hurts him. how much weight indeed you place on those allegations, his party say well, but the financial time seems convinced the bit story me. yes, i mean the financial times can write all these rules. the articles about and runs are not prohibited funding. but at the end of the day, we have to look at the timing. why is it coming now? iran has been asking that if he is to be probed, then be the other body and focus on muslim leak should also be proved. and if you look at the verdict that has come out from the election commission of focused on,

it's literally laughable because it talks about donation from people like you and i who have contributed to ron spot. if that is going to be used as, as the reason to oust him from follett, and that's going to be ridiculous and it's going to be laughable. and what about what happened in pin job last week? just to recap him, ron counts party was about to win in an election for the influential post of chief minister there. but then suddenly victory was handed to the pro government candidate. you're taken. what happened? they're very intriguing stuff, isn't it? yeah, it is. it really is, and i'll tell you what happened. and so he, the, as i said earlier, the system is stacked against and they want to keep him out of power. but despite all odd people of fox time came out in unprecedented numbers, they voted for iran and iran. chief l. i. bodies, candidates, and in rounds party 115 out of 20 of the seats. and then, you know, as a result of, you know,

all the back and forth that happened in the court. m. ron's candidate is now all get to become the chief minister of the most popular province of pockets on. so again, i go back to what i said earlier, the people are supporting and ron, this is not the past on 30 or 40 years ago. this is a different box that has decided that it wants to certain individuals back and follow which happens to be very interesting. indeed, as always, thank you for your time, your thoughts, how son, slum shot, international law and geopolitical analyst. my pleasure. not protest over soaring electricity rates in south africa have left at least 4 people did. ah, locals barricaded roads with burning tires on said municipal buildings. a light near the country's largest city, johannesburg protesters are angered. the government's failure to find

a solution to rising prices. it comes amid, sorry, global energy and food course, which leaves the african continent, especially vulnerable, with countries lacking funds to help their crisis hit citizens, or the mood is still 10th year following days of protest. here in federal visa. as you can see, the fil, a strong police presence controlling the area and making sure that they can be any more upheaval, following the burning of a civic center building, as well as some damage to private property with more money has to be put out to this and didn't i think it was not necessary. i don't think there might be, frankly, so today we don't have the outcomes that they were expecting. i don't see them or to see children are not going to school. visual charm of each with.

this is the civic center building, or at least what remains of it. this is where people into these are used to come to get municipal services. and it is the very building that was pushed. there is worry in this country that these kinds of protest could en, golf other tele ships in south africa and they could evolve into an uncontrollable mess as we have seen during last years, july, riots that are in go to major provinces in south africa. it is common in south africa that people vote with their feet and take to the streets. but what is becoming uncharacteristic? if the loss of life that accompanies protest can some be the 4 people have already lost the life l. f. the semblance of life get back. it appears that this feel very much tension and every ok. no story to bring you today. a host for sky and use

a stream has taken aim at the ukranian leader of mothers, the lent speak claiming he's not of he's portrayed in the western media. i think the prison in the ukraine is not all that he's portrayed as by the western media. we are wise to take everything we're told about this conflict with a huge dose of salt. yeah, and his report segment called a dose of common sense. the anchor evaluates the human rights violations equals of so lensky administration over the people of eastern ukraine. now don boss, he also demonstrates the president's connection to militants from the notorious absolved battalion giving zelinski to own quote. they are what they are always good to welcome live onto the program. journalist and author done the lazar for his take. hi daniel. so we have the sky news, it's really who's calling. oh, it's essentially presidents lensky for ignoring the abuse of ethnic russians by

ukranian, nationalists groups. some neo nazi, is this a blip or are western media outlets? are they finally acknowledging? there may be more than one side to this story if you think. yeah, i think there's a, there's some movement there. yes. we had a similar thing here in the us were a new york times columnist, a highly influential columnist. and then thomas l friedman published a peace in which she said that all the something was deeply wrong with the government. i mean, after all, the landscape has, has essentially outlawed 11 opposition parties, but not the parties in the right. only those on the left is fired. the head of the s b u, the, the intelligence agency. and he's also fired his top by anti corruption officer. so it seems that there is some instability at work in the central

government and we see other things as well. we see that the, the, the number of draft dodgers is growing. that they're growing on happiness with the, among the russian speaking portion of the population. and that ukrainian soldier is one that you know, in the, in the eastern ukraine, which is russian speaking largely, often reports that they feel like you're an alien territory, enemy territory. i'm so. so the, the rose, the picture, the rest that the west has painted that the media as put forth is beginning to sort of come undone. reality is starting to penetrate the, it's becoming clear that that things are not white as, as a b, as, as the press said they were. and that this, the situation, the conflict is a can,

is it is a much more complex than, than we've been led to believe. but yet you have things like reports that one swedish news agency faced harsh criticism after showing her son, citizens who were happy to get russian citizen ship. they welcomed the soldier saying, you know, this is, this is refreshing after what we've been under. it is only. busy one normative and allied or is being shipped the way out but it's going to take it's going to take some time and maybe direct report touch you answered all those questions is yes, i mean yes, only one narrative is allowed and the regimentation is growing. the censorship is growing. people are being banned from, from social media for all kinds of reasons. there was a, a, a black socialist group in, in, in, in florida was just in, di,
