now as we move to east asia, it's been rather chilly in the north west of china. we've had significant snow fall and those cool conditions have pulled into beijing, but the temperature will pick up over the next few days, though the air quality will remain rather unhealthy. down in the south, we've got cloud bringing showers to coastal areas as well in the east. it remains fine and dr for the korean peninsula as it does for japan. who with sponsored by katara always. the climate has changed every year for millions of years, decades of talk, but little action is all about distract, create confusion to crate, smoke and mirrors the shocking truth about how the climate debate has been systematically. so 1st it, the oil industry was a made bank roller or opposition to climate act. the campaign against the climate. do you think that's a bad thing? more shooting and did with thing? absolutely. on all disease. ah ah, welcome back. a good amount about top stories here. this, our ethiopian government is the kind of nationwide state of emergency as to grind rebels advance fu

terms of that update, we were talking to isabel of china - were talking to isabel of china dialogue in the last hour, which is to build understanding of the westenvironmental challenges. china was certainly moved this week. but one of the problems is, its planning system, were not talking about building houses, over time of the planning of the whole economy is based on much longer timeframes and to china, everything is looked at in a much longer timeframe. getting a country like china to be adept enough and light footed enough to come back in the years' time, that might be a challenge to far.- might be a challenge to far. there is indeed a — might be a challenge to far. there is indeed a challenge _ might be a challenge to far. there is indeed a challenge of— might be a challenge to far. ii—ii” is indeed a challenge of planning but also we are living in a world where the urgency of action is ever increasing and dedan ever so high level and also the implications of the impact on climate change also felt in china. at the same time, the costs of doing something about it are coming down rapidly. five years ago, renewables were still higher than fo

it's in the south china sea to project it's economy and economic influence through 5 g technology to allegedly cyber security breaches. do you think all of that is fueling concern in the west? now 1st of all, china is a big power in the world. and china does need our national defense capabilities commensurate to it's increasing economic are reached. this is a fact. second point, china's national defense is mostly for domestic defense, as well as liberating taiwan if we have to all peaceful reunification with taiwan, preferably and china's military defense is designed to protect china's legitimate interest in the far corners in the world. this is the nature of china's national defense. china does not want to invade any other country or take over any other countries land, because this is not only against china's own interest, it is against the principle of peace and peaceful coexistence with all the other countries in the world. therefore, i think there are people who are raising false alarms about about china's economic development or the steady development of its defense capabilities. china's defense capabilities are very large, is on the par with the united states. so ver

of china. that's not that unusual middle of southern china to say and the west of that where we have such a lot of reg recently in chennai. that's car dan. it could be wet and the, and demand, and it's more likely to be wet in caroline again. little bit wetland should be full this time of the year, but it is dry and settled and not yet wintry in pakistan. for example, iran there is wind to come in, but it will take his time. is a call to you should now be considering paul, ah, with the you, it is always of interest that people wrote the world. people pay attention to what we thought here. and i did, he was very good at bringing the news to the world from here. ah. ready this is al jazeera ah, hello, i'm marianna demise the welcome to the news our live from london coming up in the next 60 minutes. ah, thousands of tunisians protests near parliament against the president's power grab, which they consider.

exactly that, it's almost part of the official chinese institutional pathological view of the west as the humiliator of chinaably during the opium wars. how are the british as the kind of chair of this event handling this? do you get a sense as you talk to officials off the record that they have a strategy for engaging china on this issue? it's a great question and it's very sensitive and very difficult. because however you look at it, relations between the uk and china are not exactly brilliant. you can pick from a long list of topics that cause tension. hong kong, for example. china's treatment of the uighurs. the fact that the royal navy has just sailed its new aircraft carrier through the south of china. these are all issues that create, if you like, a difficult atmosphere in the run—up to this event, and the fact is that the man chairing cop26, the british minister alok sharma, only managed to get to beijing once in the run—up to the summit. whereas, on previous occasions, for example, ahead of the paris summit in 2015, there were multiple visits by all kinds of world leaders to beijing. clearly, covid

of that, it's fairly, quite a bit of rains possible in the middle of china as not that unusual middle of southern china to say and the west of that where we had such a lot of rain recently in china. that's court and dan, it could be wet and the and min islands and it's more like to be wet in caroline again, little bit wet than it should be for this time of the year. but it is dry and settled and not yet wintry in pakistan. and for example, iran there is wind to come yet, but it will take his time. is a call to you should now be considering pool. ah, it's the was most populous democracy, diverse dynamic. and under lowing moving to see context, india dixon in that look at the people and politics of india. exploring how the coven 19 pandemic struck the mission. it's continuing impact and the lessons learned for the future. join me feel as those are for context. india and out is eda lou ah, welcome back. look at the main stories this allen allen clashes between police and protest is intermediate capital. thousands of demonstrators rallied against president chi side. security forces blocks of the area where protested were dema

hello there got an early taste of winter setting back in to west northeast parts of china over the next couple days and flooding rains coming into japan next week. this mass of cloud is in the process of gathering i was going to bring some wet weather and some winfrey weather into the northeast of china, pushing through the yellow sea, caressing some pretty nasty weather. next mad, a cloud of rain that set in across southern parts of china and these 2 were going to merge together and pushed their way into japan. so a really nasty day, some very wet, some very windy weather. setting in for japan through monday, very unpleasant, and it is likely to cause widespread disruption. there will be some flooding from this system here, which will gradually make its way through. we have had flooding recently into indonesia. it's heavy showers there across a good part of southeast asia. larvae shows that indonesia, scattering the showers there into malaysia, stilson wet weather into southern parts of indo china, but not as well as it has been recently. showers long spells have right across india as

china have a great measure of pride and satisfaction. and can morph into over confidence and arrogance. and when they hear criticism of the country in the westan in particular wants to keep china in its place. it's a fair question. it's always been difficult for the existing super-power to find space for an up and coming one. it is surely made far more difficult by china's third revolution. the changes that have been rocked by the now supreme leader xi jinping. xi moved china to greater repression at home. with a smaller role for free market. and a stronger insistence on the communist ideology and pursued a aggressive policy abroad. the architect of china opening, spoke of the need for china to hide its strength and bide time. that was not simply a counsel to wait a few decades. he understood china was so large, bordering so many countries with so many border disputes. it needed to reassure the world. churchill said russia was a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma. china is a cornucopia. fast teaming land full of contradiction. say anything about china and you can find it in there and its opposite. will xi be able to control the spr

of economic and technological power. when xi took control in 2012, many expected him to continue to open china's economy like his predecessors. >> there was a belief among all of the leaders in the westate sector-led system. >> after decades of growth fueled by china's private sector, xi had inherited the world's second largest economy. but china also faces serious challenges -- an aging population, crippling debt, and a slowing export machine. >> a big concern for the leadership was how to keep the growth going. >> so they unleashed the tech sector. at first, the companies seemed like copycats. that changed fast. >> no one out there thought that china today would be at parity with the united states in major technologies. they thought these guys would steal stuff but they couldn't really innovate. >> by 2020 china's tech sector had exploded in size and impact. in some areas china's tech was outpacing the united states. tiktok had overtaken the world. dee dee beat out eastbounder. ali bay made cash and credit cards in china obsolete and grew the parent company of ali pay had grown into a financial giant. >> jack ma was a great asset to china but also from the churchz communist party's

morally and practically, if west are not demanding the very basic values such as human rights, freedom of speech, then the west won't be totally corrupted before china got away. so this is at least a serious problem. >> in your book, you were describing theirectives of mao zedong during the cultural revolution that would be distributed publicly every night. and then you write -- this is your quote -- so do you see donald trump as an authoritarian? >> i -- well, i don't -- you know, he -- if you are authoritarian, you have to have a system supporting you. you cannot just be an authoritarian by yourself. but certainly, in the united states, with today's condition, you can easily have an authoritarian. in many ways, you're already in the authoritarian state. you just don't know it. >> how so? >> many things happening today in u.s. can be compared to cultural revolution in china. >> like what? >> like people trying to be unified in a certain political correctness. that is very dangerous. you want to go deeper? >> yeah, because actually, that was the next thing i was going to ask you about it. so what kind of political correct extremism? >> i -- it's ver

trading partners and some of those countries where maybe china has much less of a relationship and a half acre, particularly important. i think we've seen some growth in, in, in west africa. in reason is china's try to track nigeria with different degrees of success. but i think that on top of the products that the role interiors typically that china seeks to secure from africa, the energy security, minerals security, it needs for growth in that sense. it is fairly familiar to the kind of patterns of economic engagement than other industrialized countries sequence africa. one of the differences backs is china as a major manufacture o g and cheaper products is that actually there's quite a lot in all traders. that's not always catch it in the official data between china and africa. quite a lot of that skipped, obviously because of the pandemic and the lack of travel over the last 18 months or so. but until i knew they were regular flights from direct and china parts of africa where the traders even were going picking up pretty good. see, and a seller's market. so i think that the picture isn't always captured by the big data if you like. and i think that has been q

to showily change the attitude of the government and the exclusion laws were considered by china as one of a handful of the great humiliations imposed upon china by the west in the 19th century. >> i should have asked this one as a follow-up to the prior question. because it is related. does south africa still have a sizeable population of people of chinese descent? how does this population fit into modern south african socialist fears and also in your book you mentioned gold mining recently in ghana, i think. but to some extent it still goes on? >> yeah, so the 60,000 or so chinese that went too the deep mines in the early 20th century, they were all repatriated, they went back. there was a very small community of chinese merchants and artisans in the cape colony which has some descendants that live to this day. but it is a very small number. but in the last 30 or so years, south africa began to welcome immigrants from taiwan. so there are newer community that has no direct connection to the goldmining community. and how do they fit in to south africa's racial structure, well under apartheid, chinese were considered colored. although japanese were consid

me about china doing hacking when you ignore what edward snowden has written very eloquently about who is the king of hacking in the world of today. >> let's take that point to robert. as the westasingly viewing china as an adversary on political, economic and security levels because china is gaining an ability to do back to world powers what they have had them in up lyons doing? -- the monopoly on doing? >> i think that is pretty clear also. china is developing a full-spectrum of military and security presence. not just traditional force protection across water and air but that also means new areas like cyberspace, outerspace will become an issue. that is what happened during the first cold war. the cold war in the 1950's spread out in the third world and got all mixed up in anticolonial insurgencies. i would not be surprised if the larger political competition would spill out in different directions. the good news is i doubt if there would be sustained major land conflicts like there were during the first cold war. i doubt that will happen again because most of the contestation is on china's maritime perimeter. that means you should not have major land conflicts. on the other

of regulatory crack downey less in the west. these kind of privacy issues could be a regular torry crack down in the west china has shown there cana crackdown on the sector. people have been talking about this for years that tech had been out of control and regulators hadenacted. >> with those actions with video games and online restrictions. the president of ten cent calling these restrictions or crack down the new normal i think the answer is that we just don't know the right moment is with electric vehicles and the chinese semiconductor sectors. really the weakest link in tech armor. >> one last question t rowe price says near term volatility in china creates an attractive opportunity with solid exports. do you share that opinion that right now, these chinese stocks are attractive how long a horizon do you see that being the opinion >> i think for the short term, they are extremely risky a lot of that applies to the tech in the west on a longer term, in the 10-year view, now is a great time. on the assumption you think china will be the global superpower by 2040 or 2050 and that you are disregarding the esg issues remember in

followed the lead of joe biden in scalding china and russian leaders for not attending glasgow in person. i have to confess, it was particularly discouraging to see to of the leaders westant is an unwillingness to take action and maintain the status quo. take action and maintain the status qua-— status quo. let's talk about toda 's status quo. let's talk about today's agenda _ status quo. let's talk about today's agenda with - status quo. let's talk about | today's agenda with regards status quo. let's talk about i today's agenda with regards to climate change with a principal research fellow at curtin university from perth in australia. explain to our viewers why women are disproportionately impacted by climate change?— climate change? thank you for havin: climate change? thank you for having me- — climate change? thank you for having me. first— climate change? thank you for having me. first of— climate change? thank you for having me. first of all, - climate change? thank you for having me. first of all, we i having me. first of all, we need to consider the social and economic structures about societies. we live in societies where the division of labour is highly gen

year when the, when we were lining up in china to buy a masks, ventilators, gloves, protective shoots for the, for the doctors. with all those countries of the west work sizing china before like hell. and i for that's okay, that might change their position. they might feel the same, but at least you know, the relationship will be more balance or more risk by me. but unfortunately, unfortunately didn't happen. now let me switch gears quickly because we only have a few minutes left. so as long as you've been a minister, you've stressed national security interest as a basis of your policy. and i wonder if your definition of what constitutes hungry, national security interest has changed over the last couple of years. because you mentioned that, you know, there was a lot of preaching about unity and joint action and call the 1900 demonstrated that the, you know, when push comes to shove, everybody, you know, puts their own business 1st. yeah. has it changed the way you think the world works? actually, when it comes to our national security interest, i think that the pandemic has shown it very clearly. that if you, as a country regardless of size loca

pipeline, i'm sure going across from iran through afghanistan, long border kind of stuff in china, nor tough. i klein or east west corridor. all of these things are ongoing. i mean, that is an area where, you know, development is, is going to move very, very rapidly. rusher is just degree to invest hugely in the can be all fine in the renew factor of the caspian sea. huge amount money. so i think we're gonna see a big change from this discovery. is it going to be, i think this is why it and so much more confidence in russia and china just say to america, know, and united states increasingly a just doing that a saying, i'm sorry, but we don't accept that you set the the roadmap. you are setting the global rules for, for, for the world, because there are other states who equally powerful and also because the strategic balance power has shifted. america has a few right, is behind in the military sense, as well as in the technology. and in the assay, correct. thank you. thank you very much. indeed. hiring me that's over the show will be back on monday. 58 years to the day when cold war president john f. kennedy was a

and in the shelter of that breeze took is at 20 with shelves on the west coast of honju. and hawk harder. it's drive in sudden parts of china $26.00 is a bit above average in hong kong. there's a bit of platter rang creeping in from the west. not that unusual. so this is looking pretty much as it should do. you can't say every or i have to say, particularly recently in southern india, excessively heavy rains in chennai. now that's changed in the focus of the heavy stuff. go across to caroline red warning at the moment, for the potential of flooding in corolla. and that isn't necessarily the end of it . this should be ne monsoon, which means the rain comes in through here. this will be all dry. it's not all dry everywhere the next day or so might see rain considering increase further north, but in the immediate future still look at carola and still look at raining hyderabad. don't expect see much of that either. now there's a potential for a few showers around the gulf states next day or so. this is monday, but i think we'll see a shamal blue most amount of the way, quite looking picture for most of the middle east. lot. so

playbook, is exactly that, it is the official chinese institutional pathological view of the west as the humiliate of chinak to officials of the record that they have a strategy in engaging china on this issue? it’s have a strategy in engaging china on this issue? �* , ., have a strategy in engaging china on this issue? �* , . ., , ., this issue? it's a great question and it's very — this issue? it's a great question and it's very sensitive _ this issue? it's a great question and it's very sensitive and - this issue? it's a great question and it's very sensitive and very| and it's very sensitive and very difficult. howeveryou and it's very sensitive and very difficult. however you look at it, relations between the uk and china are not brilliant. you could pick a long list of topics that cause tension. hong kong for example. the fact that the royal navy has just sailed its new aircraft carrier from the south of china. these are all issues that create a difficult atmosphere in the run—up to this event, and the fact is that the man chairing got 26, the british minister, only managed to get to beijing once in

this is incorrect to have rain of any significance falling in the southwest of china, or even further west in china. there it is, all the same. the southwest monsoon has left the shores of india when it back into ne monsoon territory, which generally speaking is dry. but not for magic pradesh, not the town loud enough for sri lanka and no ashley on the western gaps. this is quite a lot of rain for the ne monsoon, which might even turn into a proper spinning depression. in the radian see, the open, the nation sometime later in the week. what's one certainly to what the time being though it's quiet is quite frankly replaced, but there been some big thunderstorms recently and flash flooding in northern iraq and northern syria and they shall probably move across and towards iraq. this is the start of the change of season. it just hasn't come very far south, yet for the weather, sponsored by katara always in the country with an abundance of results for the trade already won indonesia, his friends for me, we moved full to grow and fraud. we balance with real economy, blue economy and the digital

he tweeted the message out to the west end of nations including china, japan, india, and u.k.ounced they would release reserves. opec will be meeting this week to decide whether to go ahead with its july increase. a prime minister is imposing new legislation that would force social media firms to reveal the identities of anonymous trolls. under the laws people who believe that they have been defamed could get a court order forcing companies to disclose who is behind the post. if companies refuse they would have to pay defamation costs. currently social media companies are not considered of a material on their platforms and they are not held responsible. global news 24 hours a day, on air and on quicktake by bloomberg, powered by more than 2700 journalists and analysts in over 120 countries. i am vonnie quinn. this is bloomberg. kathleen: let's move on to breaking news from anthony fauci , he is now saying it will take two weeks for information on omicron as he briefs president biden who was about to give an update on the variance -- variant and earlier anthony fauci saying omi

of strategic ambiguity is actually work for everyone. type one has everything but independence. ok. it was agreed that there is a one china policy, the west particular united states recognize that of which actually means that they recognize that taiwan is part of china. though it has a special status unspoken, but it obviously exists here. so it, it has worked for beijing. ok, and as much as they may rhetorically lash out from time to time. at the end of the day, this current situation is working for everyone. why is the administration doing this? i mean, at the cynic in me, in revenue, we can talk about this is a, you know, the intelligence that have community, they want threatened place and they want more money. they need, you know, budgets and all of that. we don't want to go to war. we just want to prepare for war. ok, what are your thoughts? go ahead. i guess the main change happening is the, is the change in the distribution of power now for washington, obviously don't want more with china, but not the record. so keeping disagreements by the same time, they want to enhance their strategic justice against china, which means ripping o

west east on goals. and now perhaps we'll keep an eye on china, but also in the south will the entire kind of central asia middle east direction. so the idea that i think has been very strong in the west, in the us in particular that rushes and chinese alignment may pose a greater challenge and rushing, they act as a force multiplier to china is i think is very strong. so one reason to invoke these ukraine cards, so to say, as many policymakers moscow believe is that, you know, that kind of keeps moscow distracted from the eastern front with china and from the southern, from, with syria and all the middle east policy. and you've been very, very busy in the west with ukraine. the 2nd thing, i think you mentioned the dash of who i even have with even more. i just kind of dangerous. i mean this is not a board game. we're guy. sure. very, very 14000 people have been killed by the government in the don back. this is not a board game. this is very sorry to interrupt people. is it isn't that is serious. and then you know, the management, the talks about there's a who and i haven't even and other issue with augus

. >> reporter: this is patrick fok, 150 miles west of beijing in northern china.ch by train, wind turbines stretch along the dry terrain for asar as the eye can see. but this is datong, also known as china's coal capital. coal mining here dates back around 1,500 years. and as the country's economy opened up in the late 1970s, industrial mining took off, fuelling china's boom. >> ( translated ): conditions for workers today are much more comfortable than before. the work is not so tiring, after mechanization. the underground environment is not so bad. >> reporter: wang hongwei is a retired mine worker in his 60s, and part of veral generations from datong that have lived off the coal produced here. his son's followed in his footsteps. shanxi province, where datong is, has a total of around 950 mines, and according to 2018 figures from the world bank, employed close 900,000 people. as part of efforts to tackle climate change, china has ramped taking off-line some of its dirtiest coal-powered plants, and sending workers to newer, renewable energy efforts. >> ( transla

of it in the back and forth. >> the west wasn't trading with china for a long time even before the gold rush. the balance of economic power shifts a lot with the gold rush. china is on a silver system and so therefore when everybody goes to gold or the big countries go to gold than the price of silver relative to gold drop. china is in a more disadvantaged position because of that in the world trade. >> alright let's shift a little bit. governor bigler there is an entire chapter on what you call bigler -ism. so governor bigler, who was he what did he do? >> he is the second governor of california. he came from the east. he came from pennsylvania. he was a democrat. and so during the lead up to the civil war he was what we refer to as a union democrat, a northern democrat he was not proslavery. when he ran for reelection it was a very close race. he gave speeches that blamed eight chinese migration for upsetting california or threatening the future of california. these were incendiary speeches that he gave it. he did it precisely to whip up the mining districts. to get the voters there to vote
