the u. s. has a military presence in taiwan. tensions between beijing and taiwan around the rise . china is a full sent a rec, hold number of war planes into the islands a defense zone. last month. china is the use largest trading partner. taiwan economy remains heavily dependent on china. and taiwan is one of the world's biggest technology producers. for example, it supplies many components for the latest smart phones the. let's bring our guests into the show. we have joining us from type brian hugh writer and founder of new blue magazine in boston in south korea, robert kelly, professor of political science and diplomacy at present national university. and in beijing, victor gout chair, professor at su chow university. welcome to all, i could stop, pass this time with victor. what message is being sent? do you think to china by the congressional visit to taiwan? well, 1st of all, this congressional visit to the, or to taiwan a by the u. s. members of congress is a serious violation of the one

and what the u. s . has described is tried, is increasing aggression over that disputed territory as well as china is activity increasing activity in the taiwan straits now trying to seize taiwan as part of china. but at the same time, we've seen the biden administration making various very friendly, moved towards the taiwanese leader sighing when and that has really infuriated beijing. i think the bottom line is, china does want to find some common ground amid these see of differences. and 2 things to note, i think is that's a job. but, and she jumping, have known each other for years now. they were working together as far back as the obama administration. and secondly, she didn't ping is domestically an extremely strong position. just last week we had this top level leaders meeting in beijing where she's in pain, consolidated his power as the president of china next year. he will begin this unprecedented 3rd term in office and he could potentially rule china for life. so no doubt that will play a pot a

and the u. s. has promised economic investment and help in the fight against coven 19 pandemic, and climate change. but can compete with china, which wells huge influence across africa. the united states wants to strengthen our partnerships across africa in ways that serve your interests, our interests, and the interests of people worldwide, whose lives and future's dependent part on what we can achieve together. united states knows that on most of the urgent challenges and opportunities we face, africa will make the difference. we can't achieve our goals around the world. whether that's ending the coven, 19 pandemic. building a strong, inclusive global economy, combating the climate crisis, or revitalizing democracy in defending human rights without the leadership of african governments, institutions, and citizens. ah, let's bring in our gas in i roby mart sharia montane, a research associate fellow of the whole international institute for strategic studies. in washington, d. c. william lawrence,

the u. s. doesn't recognize it's on a bond government at least 15 people have been injured after a bomb was set off and assume the mosque enough kind of samsung ha province. in a space of similar attacks on a, she almost almost all of been claims like ice well enough kind of 9200 nations are considering a draft agreement on the final day of the un climate. some it's in glasgow. the core aim is to keep the parents agreement to live the camp global warming at 1.5 degrees. volunteers in the house and demanding more access to the border with valerie for refugees and migrants are trapped about 2000 people. living in dia, freezing conditions as governments trade, accusations, and threats about the crisis. that is to be submitted to us to what's available for those since mid october. we've been approached by over 3000 people that being trapped since the beginning of november. we've been asked by at least 900 people of undertaken 131 humanitarian intervention to help those stranded polish government ne

u. s. secretary of state and agree to speed up the formation of a new government. earlier he ordered the release of for civilian cabinet ministers detained and last month's military takeover. thousands have been protesting and cartoon calling for democratic transition. since this military takeover, we have made very clear that we stand with the people of sudan, the people of sudan who themselves have stood in the streets have taken to the streets peacefully are to make very clear that their aspirations for democracy. i remain, i and they remain strong. i we join are the sudanese people and calling for justice and accountability at for i the abuses of human rights. and we urge the military to in the internet shut down in the state of emergency. the un security council would meet on friday to discuss the fighting in ethiopia. international calls are growing for an immediate cease fire. the u. s. special envoy for the region is an ad is about to push for di escalation, non essential staff from

s. investment or the u. s. business community has sort of pushed back on on hawkish voices in washington, dc. and the think tanks, you know, again, those want to take a harder line on china. now you have business minute is actually softened a lot and it's not nearly as bullets in china is. or there been a lot of issues with piracy and intellectual property and things like that in china . so i don't think that you are a business community sort of deterring the hawks anymore and increasing in the hawks in the us are dominating the conversation. you saw that another book by then trunk, right. there is increasingly a bipartisan sort of agreement that the china is what a strategic competitor. i suppose. i don't want to st. enemy. i don't think we're there yet. but a strategic competitor. i think most americans would agree with that is the view from ty pay. brian, why do you think west and interest has increased in taiwan lately? we've had not only this visit from and of congress, but we also recently had visits from

and they are reliance on the u. s. with purity, solar, taiwan, but in this case, against the threat of russia. and so, i think the point i want is a way to signal strength in relation with the u. s. in this, they have no motivation whether western european countries follow. i mean, there's no question that isn't so on from the europe is the leader of that is french. that is to be esteem. however, i think that, you know, we have to be careful in terms of how we look at the economical issues. when china, for example, when, when there is pressure applied to it, it actually oftentimes will boycott, for example, suitable good to register this budget, red south korea or other countries and the political pension permit. these are not good, but it's on supply chains for life on such doctors. and i think we need to be a little more specific here rather than think of things in the is very fuzzy. obstructions. ok, i think we've got about a minute left. so let me try and get in a final word from victor and victor. what's the botto

he also said that the u. s. does not want to change the chinese political system, which is a very good sign from aging. that's in one of the things that they've been complaining or very defensive about for the past few years. and then also we have had a 2nd phone call take place between president ledger biden and she'd been paying just a few weeks ago. and as early as next week, we're expecting a possible virtual summit between the 2 leaders. trina, thank you very much. katrina, you the talking to us from bridging the european union will place more sanctions on the bella, russian government. early next week, the you commission president sale of on the line made that announcement as a migrant and refugee crisis on poland border with belarus escalates and with no end in sight. thousands of people are stuck in freezing and dangerous conditions as a big report now from cause. nita, they're not asking for much. in fact, these children just want water journalists are banned from this area. but the person filming these

the u. s. attorney presented it to a so called grand jury, who found that there was reason to move forward with criminal charges against the president's former adviser. and if he's found guilty of these charges, he could face up to a year in prison on each one as well as a significant fine cattle will represent you as diplomatic interests in afghanistan, they haul. we'll assume the role of protecting power to facilitate formal communication between washington and cobble us doesn't recognize the taliban government in afghanistan. rosalind jordan reports when the afghan government fell to the taliban in august, the us relied on its military and on cutter to evacuate. americans and afghans at risk, nearly 3 months later, washington and doha, are formalizing a collaboration born out of crisis cutter will establish a u. s. intersection, within its embassy in afghanistan to provide certain consular services, and monitor the condition, security of u. s. diplomatic facilities in afghanistan. the 2nd ag

ah, more than 200 haitians deported from the u. s. in cuba returned on wednesday to a capital in crisis, the basket level, the message of it and the other. my life was in danger, so i fled. now this sent me back. i ran from hell, and now i am back. if anything haiti's condition has worsened it's economy crippled by a fuel shortage. it's streets ruled by gangs it's government under threat. john henderson, l g 0 port prince napoleon struggling to rebuild in the aftermath of catastrophic natural disasters. in recent months, hundreds of people have died in flooding treated by monsoon rains. experts a climate change may be making these weather events even more extreme. same as robbie has more from mel m. she, in a polls seem to cultural district district in one of the poorest and most polluted countries in the world. everyone is saying the same thing. climate disasters with intensity that has never been seen before, are piling up faster than ever. nipples, cascade of crises began in february with country wide forest fires, the black in the

was he more than 200 haitians deported from the u. s. and cuba returned on wednesday to a capital in crisis. the basque 11th message of it and the other. my life was in danger, so i fled. now this sent me back. i ran from hell and now i am back. if anything haiti's condition has worsened. it's economy crippled by a fuel shortage it streets ruled by gangs. it's government under threat. john henderson. l g 0 port a prince. ah and are you watching out his ear? and these are the top stories this hour. he gant and president is called a meeting of east african ladies on november 16th to discuss the conflict in ethiopia. the yield on wall between the central government.

the u. s. has steadfastly refused to do so. it is upheld the of some $7000000000.00 in afghan, our financial assets here in the united states. because it does not time yet believe that the taliban can be a trusted owed party to run the government in afghanistan, because they're also still usaa nationals and relatives in the country. the us needs to have a way to provide consular services to them. and so with cut her stepping up and agreeing to provide that sort of engagement and assistance and willing to be a go between, between washington and cobbled that makes it possible for ra washington to achieve rosalind a to come by for a moment. we're just going to cross back and, and taken the questions from the journalist is asian of ukraine by russia. what will washington do on dollars? it's neighbors say the crisis is escalating towards the potential military clash. will the united states join you in sanctioning belarus and given lucas jenko it's already sanctioned? why do you think it's going to work this time? very quickly on chi

but because the u. s. does not recognize the taliban as the legitimate government in cobbled because of deep concerns about cia. it's a treatment of afghan women and children of its treatment of religious minorities, of its commitment to engaging in put the u. s. considers a fundamental rights the right to free expression, the right to a political engagement. the right to challenge the government saw policies. it is not going to extend that recognition, but the u. s. has an obligation to us citizens and to afghan citizens who worked alongside the u. s. government during the 20 year long war. and so this is really a way for the us to be able to meet its obligations to us citizens and their families, as well as to afghan citizens who cooperated with the u. s. military l largely as well as basically having that back door channel to communicate to the taliban on to lesson until there is some sort of political transition. one that would meet the u . s. a. standards, in which case you would then see a recognitio

but there has been some progress. china and the u. s. the world's top greenhouse gas emitter, say, vail increased cooperation deals to n d 4 station cut methane and phase out fossil fuels have also been made. but financing the transition remains a sticking point for all of those. let's bring an anderson and he's joining us from cop 26 and glasgow. so, andrew, what are we expecting to happen in the coming hours? well, collective moment in history is the way loc sharma, the cop president, described it. and with that, a, he briefed all the delegates or what was happening in the hours ahead, although no one can predict which way there will swerve or where there could be hitches or, or successes or otherwise. so basically the situation is this, we are expecting within the next hour or so a revised text document, that is the draft document for the final 7 settlement, the communique, if you will. and that will set out changes, adjustments, they could be nuances, they could be more than that. they could be big issues, issues such as fossil fuels

the u. s . does not recognize the taliban government springs from news we're getting out of washington d. c. now the 1st confirmation about the timing of that much anticipated virtual summit between president joe biden and chinese lead it. she ging ping. whoa. and now hearing that this meeting will happen on monday, being officially confirmed, let's go to our fisheries live for us at the white house. this comes against the backdrop of warnings from china, about a cold war between the 2 countries. a lot for the 2 leaders to get through. right. alan, exactly, and of course some it's still happened unless there is an outcome agreed in advance, and that's we're expecting to see joe biden would love to meet judging, paying in person, but that's not happening. the chinese president simply not leaving the country and hasn't done it since march last year. so this will all be done virtually will be done here at the white house. on monday, the will talk about a number of things that they have in common. f

now kirby said that the u. s. was monitoring the situation that they sent to ships which appear to be destroyers and aerial assets. the big question is going to be just how close, though small boats were allowed to get to a navy destroyer ever since the explosion on the u. s. s. cole, small boats have been a huge concern for the u. s. navy. i asked kirby about that. and he said that the captain has at his disposal the right to defend himself and his crew. he didn't say whether or not the captain thought about taking any sort of steps or if he did take any steps. but he said that they do reserve the right. if they feel that they're under threats. well that tension in the gulf could affect talks in vienna to revive the 2015 nuclear deal for lavelle. as this update from washington, d. c. drilled due date was coming. we were told that the deputy foreign minister would announce one by the end of the month, but now we actually have that date to put into the calendar. and they, the americans are welcoming this. they are

i believe the u. s. has been calling for immediate negotiations with our preconditions to end the conflict. it's allowing voluntary departure of some of its staff and their family members in the capitol because of escalating violence. washington has sent its special envoy for the horn of africa, tiffy up here. and there all to regional efforts to deescalate the ugandan precedent has called a meeting of the east african block to discuss the crisis. for no, addis ababa remains on edge as neither side shows any sign of backing down. plank up there. i'll 0. well let's now speak to general center guest, and she is in addis ababa. samuel, obviously the international community is very anxious. is any of that pressure having an impact at all where there doesn't seem to be any compromised? are you an invoice? jeffrey feldman is still an ard december looking to speak to the main actors, especially from the ethiopian side trying to end this conflict. but this comes in the hill of an opposition coalition being bille

b r 's by the u. s. government isn't just, you know, dumping all this crude oil into somebody who will that everyone then gets, it does need to take it needs take us. and the 1st tranches mentioned, you mentioned earlier, it is a low. so if you take a loan now that you have to repay in, in a couple of years time, you are ex, effect we taking a on a bet on future prices. and it depends very much on the condition that this loan will be offered up. whether you wanted or, and the 2nd fraction also will be put out in an auction tender. and it just will depend on whether the, the private, all industry figures that's a good deal. and because this is a big difference between us and for instance, china, which is also released as p r 's of last couple months. china isn't part of the international energy agencies that are not bound by this pledge to know it flows prices that quite open about whether they like prices or not. and also in china, the vast majority of all companies are state control. so the governmen

the agreement also shows just how far relations between the u. s. and cutter have come, despite occasional differences. after nearly 50 years of diplomatic ties, the trumpet ministration backed the g. c. c. blockade against doha, imposed in june 2017. a diplomatic route, only resolved in january, and analysts say cutter's new role representing the interests of the world's most powerful country. and a contentious region represents a payoff of years of diplomatic ambition. cutter has been in the game, so to speak for quite some time when it comes to the situation with afghanistan and rest relations with our on. so i actually think that it's a very logical choice, and i think it makes good sense from us and bo, his perspective the deal between the u. s. and cutter is limited and scope. it doesn't mean that they agree on how to engage the taliban as a political entity and only experience show whether having a proxy represent the u. s. t, as interests and cobble will actually satisfy it's long term national security goals. rosalyn jordan al jazeera, the

and i believe the u. s. has been calling for immediate negotiations with our preconditions to end the conflict. it's allowing voluntary departure of some of its staff and their family members in the capitol because of escalating violence. washington has sent its special envoy for the horn of africa disappear and they're all to regional efforts to deescalate the gotten president has called a meeting of the east african block to discuss the crisis. for no addis ababa remains on edge as neither side shows any sign of backing down bianca group, there are 0. najia government is declared 2 days of national mourning for 69 people killed in an attack on a remote village. a convoy, led by a local mare, was ambushed near the borders of marlyn, burkina faso, the regions at the center of a conflict with groups linked to iso and al qaeda. now, china has reported its highest single day rise in corona virus cases in 3 months. $93.00 people were infected in the last 24 hours the outbreak began in mid october and is now spre

but because the u. s. does have interests inside afghanistan, namely us citizens and their immediate families. it has to have a way to actually be able to help them without actually having to deal with the very real road block of not recognizing the taliban government. and so by having a cut her act as the protecting power, the u. s. is going to be able to meet its legal obligations to us persons and their immediate families without having to deal directly with the taliban. it's a very big deal. all right, we'll leave it there. thanks so much. rosamond jordan. now at least 15 people are injured after a bomb was sent off in a mosque in afghanistan, none go ha province. the device was repulsive. a place in these suddenly mosques pulpit has been a space of similar attacks on mostly shia mosques. almost all have been claimed by iceland, afghanistan, in no claim of responsibility for this bombing though so far is the last day of the un climate conference in glasgow. the summit described as a final chance to avo

when the u. s. government has announced the new u. f o task force, it will work to identify unknown aerial objects and determine whether they posed any threats. comes off to the intelligence community release to report earlier this year. admitting they had been a series of u. f. o sightings, practical high and has more from washington this all goes back to those videos. we've seen most of them taken by military pilots cut a grainy on their radar and you see these objects far off in the distance, weirdly shape, flying ways don't seem possible that it speeds don't seem possible. so back in june, the department of defense released some of those videos and said they were to come up with the task force to look into this because they looked into what i'd identified flying objects and came back out and said yes, still identified. we don't know what these are could be, could not be. so they'd be having this task force. now this is just another bureaucratic step. they're moving it into a working group. so what that does is it sort of finalizes

the presidents of the u. s. in china are holding a virtual summit to deal with issues the continued to cause tension between them. trade.

but some of this side agreements like the u. s. and china working together like india has an as 50 percent renewables in the by 2030 as extraordinary stuff. so we are getting the but gee whiz, wouldn't do like to see it faster. peter, you mentioned astronomy and we spoke about it a little bit earlier in the program that australia had been described as a climate pariah by critics. why are we saying such a lack of action on phasing out of co from cambra? well, it's the particular national government that we have. it's sort of love that climate change. it was cynical, it said, oh, you know, you can take it or leave it. and for some people that was acceptable for most people, 80 percent of australians now want on to greater action in climate and are state governments and local governments are very active. they have very committed some of them in the same parties as the federal government. but it's been a real leg got out there so we, we certainly are proud of them. but there's a lot happening on the ground. and that's the same in ameri

the u. s. congress has been urged to take stronger measures to protect taiwan. an inferential advisory body has released its annual report, detailing the threat of chinese aggression report, says congress should increase funding for taiwan to purchase defense equipment from the u. s. and boost surveillance. washington is increasingly concerned about china's military build up and is, and it's pushed to develop nuclear capable. miss howes and fisher has more from capitol hill. if you're asking for the headline, it is that this group believes that the chinese communist party and that the people's liberation army are now equipped and ready to invade, to tie one. but the do acknowledge that that would be a high risk strategy for the chinese at this stage. and that forms the basis of one of the recommendations more on that in a minute. but this report highly critical of the chinese, it says that china is engaged in a systematic effort to attack, oppress arrays and marginalized people whose opinions and social cultural educational values, religion and ethnicity. it see

the u. s. embassy, any nuclear is allowing non emergency staff members to leave the country as the conflict there worsens. the governments declare the state of emergency as the t p ela rebels claims were seized more territory on a major road to the capitol. priyanka group took with the latest it's not the 1st call to arms spine if he had been leader. but this time, it's against an enemy within the prime minister abbey amad use the 1st anniversary of the conflict, antique white to call on his citizens to fight and defeat the tiguan rebels. abram with africa until ethiopia is free and peaceful. this is the time every citizen has to say, i am in ethiopia and soldier to condemn this miss g. this plan, while standing next to the ethiopian national defense forces, to humiliate the enemy late last year. if you appear national all me, that a strength in numbers and significant err, paul pushed to t grind rebels into retreat. but since july the rebels had been making you gain, expanding the bottle from

s. is meaningless criticisms. we must demand that u. s. drops is frequent hedge, a monic action was of interfering in china's internal affairs. i. okay, i want to ask victor about this because we heard obviously very strong words from the us. but we also had very strong words from china. and that is unusual. and i've heard under president she whether he is directly responsible for this or not. there is, there is an assessment of that policy being described as aggressive diplomacy that china was no longer simply going to sit back and, and take the criticism. but, but it was actually gonna essentially take the fight to those who were opposed to it, but now we're seeing this change is that are suggesting, do you think that china has been, can become concerned that that policy has over reached the mark and has brought it closer to risky confrontation with the u. s. and others. and that perhaps is why we're seeing this dialing back of rhetoric. eugene took place on the very special circumstances. ah, weatherwise, it was very cold at that tim

s. has promised to defend one top u. s. official says china's economic growth is changing the global landscape. we're witnessing one of the largest ships in global geostrategic power that the world works and it only happens once in awhile. china doesn't wanna conflict with united states to some new york, one china. and so i think that the idea of the summit is essentially an offer. it's an opportunity for the 2 sides to lower the temperatures and take stock or working relationship. some it's really happened without something to show for it. so there could be movement on trade. these are restrictions and perhaps even small moves on nuclear weapons. both sides want to move from confrontation to cooperation. but both sides need to agree. that is the next step. i'll and fisher al jazeera at the white house, british prime minister voice johnson says a taxi explosion outside a hospital in liverpool was a reminder of the need to remain vigilant. police have declared it an act of terror . for men are being questioned over sandy'

have u. s. d, you support for more vigorous action against those who oppose the unity and, and territorial integrity of bosnia herzegovina. while i would agree with my predecessor that you are charged, not the one it was until 2006 the let me remind you when we had this policy shift on bosnia, the western one and she's the leadership from the u. s. u in the double shifts in 2006, which created mister dorothy, ah, there's a shift towards so called ownership. that means pouring over responsibility to local leads. and this was a policy were where it was announced that the west with a closed or char, and they cleared basically a success. that person is a stable country. but as we had not transform the date and constitutional order, which was and has remained an order for this functional state that only works for the ethnic really this did not work out but the west because it was never had a political will never adjusted it. policy and was left without any strategic policy in return. it was the west

p r s that the u. s. has undertaken let us not to get during the 1st gulf war in 1991. they only released 17000000 barrels a day when libya came asunder in 22011. they released 13000000 barrels a day. so in that context, it's quite a bit. ab is absolutely right in terms of the oil price came down about 8 percent since the talk of the release of strategic research. and then it came in, but yesterday it rose. and to me that is a classic in stock market. you have to buy on the rumor and sell on the fact and that was a classic classic event like this had and you wanted to make a point. sure, i just followed up a little bit. it's, i disagree slightly with one thing here. so at the bottom, it ministration clearly wanted to bring this headline out, that $50000000.00 barrels, that it is not $50000000.00 barrels per day. it is $50000000.00 barrels of the stretch of 4 months, which is far less. and we don't know what all these 50000000 barrels will be released to trenches. separated us was that one of them is a

so that's the 1st promise that the u. s. government. and then the u. s. government handed out a bunch of homes. so bunch of white settlers and the promise seem to be you can have this water forever and there were a lot of promises made that cannot all be filled in recent decades, the ports of the for the government must honor the clam and tribes treated before it fulfills its promises to farmers because the climate tribes were here 1st, their water rights to proceed, everybody else. so even if you have a piece of paper from the federal government that says you can have water every year. if there's not enough water to go around, the climate tried to come 1st. we build the clone with your additional project in the early 20th century, like we didn't most of these big water projects in the west. and there was an assumption that the hydrology, the early 20th century, would persist until the end of time. that was faulty assumptions. here we are in 2021, and the 100 change global warming. we're in the midst of it. and there's not as much water to go around. i
