ah, a with those who play with fire will come to no good and, and those who offend china must be penalize tension sanctions and military drilled follow in the wake of nancy pelosi footsteps as she leaves taiwan. china warns that go with washington on the self government island will face consequences over the u . s. how is speakers controversial visit? meantime, a wall of silence goes out from e. u. officials over a pillow sees trip. the only statement being down there is no change to the blocks policies towards china and also ahead this art.

ah, at least 4 people are killed in south africa. has violent protests are wrapped in a ton ship over sky rocketing electricity costs a across the globe around the clock. this is our t pleasure that have you with us today for the news our, let's get into it. china has begun military drills in areas surrounding china on the move comes in response to the visit of us. how i speaker nancy pelosi to taipei . beijing announced plans for 6 zones encircling taiwan where it would carry. i'd lie, fire drills including miss launches. ah .

well, how speaker pelosi departed taiwan on wednesday afternoon during her visit. she met the territories president who handed her time. one's hi, it's simply an honor for her contribution to us taiwan relations. now that's the spite u. s. officials repeatedly stating washington does not support taiwanese independence . while pelosi said her visit was evidence of america's commitment to supporting democracy on the island. the u. s. house of representatives, speaker is the highest ranking american official to visit taiwan in a quarter of a century ortiz nicky. aaron told me more about the trip on this from the vacations

. it was literally a flying visit by pelosi was and if she arrived late on tuesday, not less than 24 hours later, she was already on that plane bank comb. this the briefest of visits that's already having a significant impact while the trip sparks something of a love. pelosi love fest in tai pay. as you said. she was awarded the highest civilian honors during the short trip. in paging its been met with absolute fury, they warned pelosi against making this trip again and again, and now opened a very dangerous period and relations between us in taiwan and china. and we a 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 and is becoming very clear that these words chose to words will ready thing. 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 bits in some of the, this is in some of the worlds busiest waterways and it will include long range live ammunition shooting, another chinese military. they've said, look, everybody needs to avoid this area, old boats and planes for 3 days. but as we know, the u. s. isn't keen on taking advice from bating, we've seen that with this pelosi visit. so whether they choose to heat the advice of china here, or whether they choose to further test the result of china and continued to stand in boats and planes into the area remains to be seen. let's take a listen now at the rhetoric that and the developing rhetoric of the past you out. to be sure, search retrogressive moose won't change the international consensus that there's only one china in the world, nor they can reverse the historical trend of unification of the mainland and tie

one. 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 we'll counter any aggression against national sovereignty. we will strengthen our vigilance with a rational attitude which won't escalate conflicts, nicki, it's not only a button 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 his role in pillows these visits slap import suspensions on $35.00 tie when he's a couple of biscuits and pastry since monday. this was well ahead of these visits so you can spare a thought. now 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 boot in and hit type a where it hurts and it's going to target the timelines biggest export to china by

valley, which is of course electronics and parts machinery. plastics and chemicals global markets are already spooked by the pelosi visit and the initial fallout. stocks in semiconductor part's already so globally on choose day ahead. the end of the visit, also along with global market. so invest is like the brace 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 fat that being felton, ty, one with a local media, some even, you know, flattering pelosi of her outfit, 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, taiwanese on bassett, on the new pill. what do you mean? hello. see what the hell i doing here right now. come all the way here to the board

. the table. nice people support yourself. you want to support us to fight against the peoples of the ration. army americans always ask us to let more time when these people join the army. whenever you come to ty, wine, oh, 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 here 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 wind, but we don't need your support. you are literally purring oil on the flames, so 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 and others just think that she's causing trouble. with quin 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 u. s. wants, policy should respect the will of the taiwanese people are sitting there, maybe try to terrify us. rather it's so many times. okay.

duct, the old story, the oh, with commune we come on. oh, well, the 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 turn into 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. some were analysis on this on a pretty interesting viewpoint, investigative journalist, edward sal believes nancy lucy's visit to taiwan, was meant as a distraction from america's own problems at home. we have another example of the united states over extending itself. me for example, with nancy pelosi, i think all this visit was, well, the, a high, a high cost distraction that people,

as you know, said the average american can't even point out where taiwan is on a map that 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 a vacation around the world and at a time when trying to nothing but to gain from doing a church right now they get the entire world to concentrate on sure what their motor is capable. what this shows, 1st of all is the child is able to project power or its own country. time on the front, on the doorstep, you're going to see the use of futuristic. i'll take it touristic, but high technology. long range ballistic missiles, they're going to use this as the firing mechanism for many of the indirect fire they're going to show off. and the reason going to do this is because the united states as a counter to it. meanwhile, nancy pelosi visit to taiwan was met really with a wall of silence from european governments. according to the only official statement from the e u, the block isn't rushing to 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 and 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 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 combination 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 accreditation. it's too bad that europe blocks real statesman these days like former french president, jacques chirac 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 in courage to speak out against

u. s. foreign policy and instead making weak neutral mealy mouthed statements in the case of taiwan may. ringback ally silence is the result of seeing how some of them have been lambasted by their own western counterparts for even suggesting rational diplomacy as the path forward instead of provocation. for example, former nato secretary general anders vogue rasmussen even considered that french president a mentor and mack holes call for diplomacy with russia over ukraine was directly harmful to taiwan. the chinese are following the developments in ukraine very closely, because if prudent can get away with taking crimea, and maybe the don bass and that is settled in a peace deal than china, might interpret that as an invitation to take taiwan by force. 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 intervened 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 war hoc, 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.

let's turn the attention on the program to south africa where protests are, we're storing electricity rates. there have left at least 4 people dead. the locals barricaded roads with burning tires and municipal buildings. a light near the country's largest city jehovah spurts protesters are angered out. the government's failure to find a solution to rising prices. it comes to mid soaring global energy and food costs, which leaves the african continent, especially vulnerable, with countries lacking funds to help their crisis hits. citizen, the mood is still tennis year. following days of protests here in san visa. as you can see, the still 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 then i think it was not necessary. i don't think they by today, the 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. this will charm of each with commerce. this is the civic center building or at least what remains of it. this is where people into vsa 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 protests could engulf other tally ships in south africa, and they could evolve into an uncontrollable mess as we have seen during last years, july, riots that are in gov to major provinces in south africa. it is common in south

africa that people vote with their feet and take to the screen. but what is becoming uncharacteristic is the loss of life that accompany such protest came to be them for people have already lost their life. and if the semblance of life get back, it appears that this feel very much tension and every year the threat silva, direct conflict between world nucular powers is evident under this tangible, according to a russian diplomat attending a much vaunted un conference on arms control. group number senior principle 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 geo. political dominance provoked an acute crisis in the center of europe. the hybrid military campaign has been unleashed against russia, which could result in a direct conflict between nuclear powers. you believe in that way on the review

conference for the nonproliferation tickler weapons is currently being held in new york. your vision of etzky once again reaffirm moscow's commitment to building a world free of nuclear weapons. moscow also said at once the immediate resumption of the iran nuclear deal arguing there is no alternative. the diplomat also underline that the progress achieved over the years port has been devalued by the u . s. when they ignored russia, security interest. that sentiment was echoed by china, which has called for the rejection of double standards and nuclear nonproliferation, starting with washington. may want the united states should withdraw all its nuclear weapons from europe and refrain from deploying nuclear weapons in any other region. or for china. the question of the nuclear threat posed by washington hasn't come out of thinner, according to newly declassified documents provided to the new york times, the us was ready to use nuclear weapons against mainland china in 1958. during the

taiwan strait crisis. military planners in washington detail plans for a strike using quote, low yield $10.00 to $15.00 kilo tawn nuclear weapons. the aftermath of the attack would have stretched as far as shanghai. well, that is what the us is pointing a finger to iran as well, imposing yet more sanctions on its petroleum industry. washington is demanding the country returns to the nuclear deal in the joint comprehensive plan of action, which the u. s. it's of 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 wrongs exports of these products until iran is ready to return to full implementation of its commitments under a mutual return to the jcp away allow let us cross live to dr.

history up shot a 2005 nobel prize winner shared with the international atomic energy agency and member of the egyptian council for foreign affairs. you are most welcome to the program. thank you. so the us secretary of states is essentially trying to strong arm around back into the very deal about the u. s. ditch in the 1st place. what was your reaction to actually steal the u. s. sync in its own ways in from one side? actually it is 2 sides. you cannot force iran to back to g, g and agreement. why you are still continue to increase the sanctions and a towards was not iran who withdrawal from agreements g towards you like to state actually is be just so you're not just yet tactical can eyes that

iran sanctions will not work. and it is already too late. and have to get agreement going back to j agreement by removing just sanction. otherwise it will not work. yeah, considering president from quit the iran nuclear deal, really in the blink of an eye, it seemed how how does that contribute to the overall feeling of security in such agreements? in fact, i think today i hear brailey people chain greeley to start with on 15 that cause i am or z really the limit in order to start a real deal with iran at that time. iran doesn't have as much capability. and the capacity, particularly for j leachman and it was the time really dead,

disagreement has to hold and continue. but from united state withdrawal from one side gene. now for years and started the old, you're on to keep all the limits written in agreement in not today we're each, iran has a very important capacity. today i heard of actually from the head of r e e. jack iran increase. he said 2 words increase its ambitious and the capacity in january area. i didn't like the word ambitions because he is the head of a neutral international organization. and he should not use this word be shown a says something and belong to, to people,

how it was our thinking. and you can not use iran by saying use words and be sure. yeah that's, it's a leading word, isn't it? and just then on that other issue, if we could turn to the potential nuclear attack planned on china in the late 19 fifties, which of course would have a devastating consequences when you, when you read about revelation, high surprised where you bronchitis, biggie, i'm surprised, i probably didn't hear that before what i had actually a golf course, u. s. was about to use nuclear. we put in cooper crisis, not china. but it is not the only country who sort of are with using extra new objects. we still remember in 1973 during the sober war between israeli and our countries is there. when you the last 2 days,

where about what do use actually nuclear weapon and digital 11 airplanes have been getting you can, we're ready to work for use. so it is, of course, very risky matter. after all these years, to date, we are the steam selecting by using nuclear weapon. we see now after a restaurant, we clean your crisis. g street getting increased significantly. we still see really that united states has nuclear. we put in 5, b, b, and state. and to have a potential ability in the far east as well. so i think we are still in that situation. what is the whole world and g p g, did not achieve its goal. after all these years now we have 72

years from starting disease. a very important agreement, you still come to the gym on addition, on 4 countries added to gem and nothing appeared to be stubs. so just finally, i know it's a big question, but i wanted to ask it briefly to you because you've got such an extensive background in it. is the world ready for an honest, open commitment to the exclusively peaceful use of nuclear energy? have we got to that stage? not yet. frankly speaking, i don't see that we're out of all is that mainly us and russia are not yet in, in the area of understanding and agreement it together. but we had already got st meant for ben or,

or nuclear we bonds which was actually now approved and stuff became in force, but nothing happened. its own world of work. and i think we might be, we shall continue with a frankly speaking, i decided not to attend to any p t c, c. if i failed, it is the same every year. the same, we are not being ready goals. we still have over 15000 new one. we still have over the nuclear war and nothing happens. i hope really, please stay in the new generation. people will be more realistic. so many interesting points raised to hope you'll come into program again and talk to us in the future at dr. you st. shop, a 2005 nobel prize winner live on our team. you are

now an editor for the states, swedish broadcast her f, b. c. has been forced to apologize after earning a report showing people in the ukrainian city of her son happy to be given. russian citizenship. now they had coverage shown received a considerable amount of complaints from viewers of several locals were shown gladly being given. russia passports essentially contradicting the usual western orator which blames russia for turning the lives of locals into a nightmare wall of the times. people in the peace mentioned it was his long time desire to become a russian citizen, while another woman received her new passport before bursting into tears, seemingly of joy. well, this isn't the 1st time when the questioning of the standard western normative has been criticized. people on social media said they were outreach when a host of sky news is truly a took a in a direct manner. the ukranian president lobby marizza lindsey issue

a corey bernardi, had to say. i think the president, ukraine is not all that is portrayed as by the western media. we are wise to take everything we're told about this conflict with a huge dose of salt. in his report segment called a dose of common sense, the anchor evaluates that human rights violations of zelinski administration over the people of done both. he also demonstrates the president's connection to militants from the tories. as off battalion giving as the lens, he don't quote. in fact, he said they are what they are. are ti talked to independent journalists, dunning lazar who believes some press services are too slow to acknowledge reality . only one narrative is allowed and the, the regimentation is growing. the censorship is growing. people are being banned from, from social media for all kinds of reasons. and the press is still very slow to

acknowledge reality. but, you know, contrary reports are beginning to, to filter through the press is as highly obedient to the, to the dictates of the, of government. i mean, the, the, the depress, which thinks of itself is independent, is actually the opposite. is it is a propaganda tool of the, of the government it's, it's obedient to their wishes. it does exactly what they tell them to do. busy and this is only only very slowly and very. busy whole thing like starting to change okay. some more deadly developments on the day to update you on one not only into armenian soldiers have been confirmed dead on at least 14 armenians wounded in the disputed territory of nicola kara back where tensions there. again, flaring, it's according to an official statement from the nagondo car back army. now armenia has put the blame on algebra on the units for violating

a cease fire and killing those 2 soldiers. nikoto quarterback has announced the partial mobilization of all be on confirmed reports of clashes, continued the answer by johnny defense ministry though claims it has taken control of key territories and the quarterback region. as part of the operation troops launched on earth strike that hits romanian military units. now we can sometimes get bogged down with so much historical background to what's happening today in don bass. so a concise breakdown may just be what's needed, look would have it. that's right. ahead ah, the so called collective west is at war with russia using ukraine as a proxy. the west has made it clear once a russia that is weaker and isolated on the world stage. today these attempts have

ended in failure. in fact, be office it is happened, the west is weaker and isolate or more stop, it will actually sit or she actually read mildly on the city on their point to this latortia laura, that, that she's us. yeah. i do have school g, f, q 3. i c h you she's leeway federal charlotte so chris, you who did bit of us mateo are still pretty what i g o s e and up on the water in the city on the phone service you on talk with us mother. i was little should've done boss.
