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

the u. s. also applauded the woman's tennis association for suspending all tournaments and china over concerns for the safety of chinese ton of star peng. why? with the olympics coming to the u. s. in 2028. there are now questions about how china may respond both in the short and long term. katya low priscilla young al jazeera, while more now on the asian reaction with katrina, you who's in the chinese capital. they have been repeating the same kind of sentiments over the past few weeks when these 1st rumors came out that the u. s. was mulling over this move. china has accused washington of political grandstanding, political, political, manipulation of distorting the spirit of the games. and we've had chinese states media similarly express the same sentiment saying that this is the us trying to contain china and reflect a cold war mentality. so this will no doubt escalate tensions just weeks after president jor biden. and present, she didn't think, sat down to a video colon at the time the busi

the u. s. left the deal in 2018 under then president trump, under president biden, washington wants back in, but only if tehran upholds its commitments mixed were convinced that if iran pro approaches talks in vienna, with urgency and good faith, we can quickly reach and implement an understanding on mutual return, we cannot, however, allow iran to accelerate its nuclear program and slow walk. it's nucular diplomacy, ron's ambassador blame the us. vienna talks can succeed, auntie, threw genuine political, real and good faith negotiations. engaging in blame game or flying artificial impatience is not constructive. the rhetoric in the council chamber was strong. both iran and the united states say they want to return to the deal. and the un says that's encouraging. but clearly, members of the international community are concerned that iran is closer than ever to a nuclear weapon. and time may be running out. kristin salumi al jazeera, the united nations, the u. s. sector state antony blinkin says

s. and the u. k. a u. s. media report say the by that ministration is planning the mass deportation of thousands of haitian migrants from a border town and texas. most of the migrant sustained to make shift camp under a bridge in del rio the u. s. is facing a challenge to its influence over the rest of the americas representatives of the 33 member community of latin american at caribbean states, which excludes the u. s. a. meeting in mexico city on saturday. and they're planning to move ahead without the powerful northern neighbor. latin america editor, the c, a newman reports can use to go the community of latin american in caribbean states or lack was officially launched. it was the brainchild of brazil's former president, lucy, now to let the silver and business whalers now to see who will chavis' goal was to create a region block that excluded the united states and canada to compete against the oldest inter american alliance. the organization of american states, or only yes, which is based in washingto

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

the u. s. national security advisor reiterated ukraine can associate with whoever it wants. when analyst believes joining nato is unrealistic, it ought to be clear to them that we're not coming to the rescue. so you get to have to live in nest, russia without a u. s. security guarantee. there were also questions about the controversial nord stream to pipeline which runs from germany to russia and whether it could be used as leverage and discussions over ukraine. the white house says it will pressure the german government to stop it. if russia invades the biden administration, will continue to work with it's european partners, promising a coordinated response, should russia ignore their warnings? president biden will also speak with ukraine's president lensky on thursday. kimberly, how can al jazeera, the white house will steal? clemens is the host around, there is the bottom line and that large for the hill. he says moscow wants to undermine the u. s. president's credibility. and this is going

in the u. s. k, i can't speak too much, but on the, on the us end of it, you know, the business community has been promoting investment in china for a long time, and u. s. investment or the us 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 us 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 and china. so i don't think that you are a business community sort of deterring the hawks anymore. increase in the hawks in the us are dominating the conversation. you saw that by and then trunk, right. there's increasingly a bipartisan sort of agreement that, that china is what a strategic competitor. i suppose. i don't want to say in 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

the u. s. government can accumulate. it's been sent at $28.00 trillion dollars in early august. analysts say the debt ceiling is important because if the u. s. defaulted, it would damage the countries, credit rating, could also plunge the wider global financial system into turmoil. the bill to temporarily raise the us debt ceiling, now needs to be passed by the house of representatives before being signed off by president biden. mike, hannah has more from washington d. c. well, a desire to li, crucial. if the u. s. had defaulted on its debt, the economy would have been in chaos. it would have been unprecedented. most experts believe that everybody was going to bow at the last moments, but it's still a tense situation. and this only came about in terms of extending the debt or, or putting a little bit of money in to allow it to run through to december. that took a lot of shenanigans in terms of what's been happening in recent weeks. in the end . the republicans or some republicans, came to deal with the democrats, that th

but if i understand correctly that the u. s. has a policy that we talked about earlier about sam, there being a one china policy policy that, that, that, that it agrees with the one china policy. but at the same time, president biden has said it will defend its allies. i. e, taiwan, to an outsider like me, that seems like a mixed message. it seems like 22 different sides of the same coin. does that counter any? and i understanding or undermine a possible understanding when it comes to meetings like this, because china, perhaps understandably, will say what you're saying, one thing, but you're willing to do another and we don't exactly know where you stand on this . well, i would, i would say that u. s. policy has been consistent and long standing since 1979. and i will also mention that we have domestic look legislation the taiwan relations act that governs our unofficial relationship with taiwan. so there have been no changes there whatsoever you ever again present yesterday, reaffirm the u. s. commitment to the one china polic

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

the u. s. says it won't attend the event because of what it calls, human rights atrocities and genocide. usually yvonne, diesel yonder, ga d u. s. standing opposed to athletes and sports lovers across the world. china deplores this and rejects this and has large, solemn representations and will take resolute counter measures. the u. s. should stop politicizing sports and stop disrupting the beijing winter olympics with words . otherwise, it might harm bilateral dialogue and cooperation in a series of important areas and international regional issues. she would all continue has more now on china's reaction from beijing. china's clearly furious. it says that the u. s. will pay, but it hasn't detailed what those counts measures might be. an earlier in his statement. jolly jen, the foreign ministry, spokes person accused the us of political prejudice. ideological bias, political manipulation and having sinister intentions. as we heard, beijing says that the limpid should be yours as a tool for inte

so the u. s. has joined with you and other countries, pushback multilaterally on the kinds of practices that we see in russia and china. it's a scary world where tyranny and slave labor become routine. it's important that the west suppose that we can do that diplomatically. we can do that through dialogue and essentially building with russia and china if they will. but if they don't, and they persist in their ways, then there's clearly going to be a cost to pay for them. the us and the west off. okay. and what does that cost the saying is china worried about the cost? no, i don't mean china is really to worry about what the americans are pushing at the moment, driving in china. it has a liza who is incredibly confident in so and in the direction of travel which that china is going when can question that and they are good grounds to question whether the direction of trouble. she picks china is the white one is the good want, but he is very concrete and he is right. so he is not so worry about the a

but the u. s. said it has no plans to send military assistance. haiti senate has nominated joseph lambert to serve as the new interim president until new elections, a set of september politicians, also bank avalon re to replace closed joseph as the prime minister. particle. he has more from washington d. c, the haitians have asked the united nations isn't and peacekeepers. they've asked the u. s. department of defense to send us troops. i was able to confirm that with the pentagon today, the department of defense said that they have received the request and it redirected me to the state department for further questions. it seems highly unlikely that the u. s. is going to want to put troops in haiti 1st of all because of the violence there, it would take a very large, true presence. it would be expensive and keep in mind, president joe biden has just told us troops out of afghanistan. haiti is not a country that has a huge constituency in the united states that would push the president politically t

the u. s. and u. k. are continuing their evacuation flights until that august 31st deadline to withdraw all foreign troops. but germany, denmark, belgium, and canada have now ended verifications, and france says its last plane will leave on friday. charles traffic reports now from campbell. you will not be lindsey's rush through the streets to collect the wounded bodies are lifted on to stretches. the 2 attacks by suicide bombers happened close to the abbey gate entrance of cobble airport. the baron hotel. now he was a sudden explosion. we climbed out and saw that there were many people effective people were held everywhere, their brains with scattered. there were also foreign forces who were fallen. i saw at least 4 or 500 people there. the explosion was really powerful, half held into the water, others on the ground outside. we carried the wounded here on stretches and my clothes completely bloody. i know the power hotel is controlled by the u. k and they 2 forces. it is one of the places where tens of

and that the u. s. in put in some financial support and humanitarian support in afghanistan as well. we've heard continuously from china's foreign ministry since this process began. that china views it as the u. s. having created this mess as it sees it, that wants us to play a role in cleaning it up now, beating as yet to officially recognize that whole banner, the government of the country. but it was one of the 1st players to deal with the taliban as a legitimate and important political force. we saw of the gun he borrowed the taliban leaders come to china at the end of july, hold some very high level talks there. and during those talks and aging, promised to play a role in the economic reconstruction of afghanistan as well as this transition. and in return, the taliban promise to hold the weaker forces at bay for china. i think china's whole approach here has been to give the taliban space and to give it a chance to prove itself. i think china is very much waiting to see what the tell bond does next

the u. s. navies attempts to seize it . soil in the sea of oman, the u. s. accuses iranian forces of a dangerous maneuvers. every day, more people are suffering and dying. fear and human rights chief releases a report on ethiopian war documents and what she describes as extreme brutality. the local u. s. election results that have republican celebrating and president jo biden's, democrats, worries, and boys by major climate announcements. leaders had home from cop 20 sakes, leaving officials to negotiate the sticking points. like finance. hi, i'm side a hired at that. i'll have the latest on the atlanta braves when the old series in an epic style against the houston astros. ah, iran says it has foiled and attempts find the a snazzy to seize it. soil in the sea of oman, iran's elite revolutionary guard, says its troops ordered the ship carrying iranian oil on october 25th, saying the tanker was about to be taken by the u. s. u. s. has rejected the allegations and accused iran of staging, dangerous maneuvers at sea. well, joining me and i were in the studio

the u. s. says that it is drawing down its diplomatic presence in afghanistan, evacuating embassy personnel. as of the 1st of september, there will be no us diplomatic presence in the country of afghan, a stand. and so rob on this, the comments from the u. s. national security advisor that there would be some leeway on this january on august 31st. the deadline for evacuating well, and it's, it's not clear exactly who the national security advisor jim sullivan is talking about. but we do know that the u. s. will have to remove its personnel from the airport once it is finished with evacuation flights from that airport. so that may take some time past the august 31st deadline, actually getting the, the, the marines and the soldiers and naval personnel who are performing their duties at the airport and maintaining air traffic control. all that sort of thing that keeps an airport running, they will be the last to leave. another thing that jake sullivan, the national security adviser said earlier to

s. cultural agency unit score, it entered the u. s. in 2007. graco authorities say they're happy to have it back. now. i've been lo, this tablet is laden with deep symbolism and 2 respects its own intrinsic value and then, and what it means to retrieve it with all the efforts that have been deployed by the government in this regard. it's a message to all those who smuggled our artifacts and auctioned them. they should know that will end up retrieving what they had stolen. the rockies may appreciate the u. s. initiative to help return their last artifacts. but they also say america's invasion of iraq in 19912003, led to the biggest disasters for them. nations ancient headed to an estimated $15000.00 artifacts were looted from the baghdad museum and smuggled out of the country. iraqis save the u. s. bears full responsibility for what happened and needs to do more to help them retrieve what they lost ramadan or da 0. now, a japanese billionaire and his assistant are the latest tourists heading to the international space station. you circl

if russia were to invade ukraine, the u. s. would send more defensive material and the u. s. would fortify nato allies on the eastern flank. it also looks like the u. s. will joined the minsk agreements. these are the stalled peace accords. the u. s. has not been party to these agreements, and i think russia hadn't really wants the u. s. to join in. it would be an opportunity to revitalize these discussions. but when you read the statements, but moscow and the united states want very different things that the point that jumps out me to me the most is that moscow is, is saying they're, they're engaging in what about is them? they're blaming nato, and they're blaming key of for the aggression. they're not taking responsibility. this crisis is far from being result. victor, a leverage in belgrade. i'm sure you want to respond to some of that, but i want to ask you as well. russia has said that these fears about a russian invasion are unfounded. if that's the case, what a president puts his intentions over ukraine and what's behind the, the troop build up near its border with ukr

the u. s. and russia's top diplomats meet for the 1st time while tensions flare rushes military build up near the border with you quite. u. s. reinstates a trump iraq policy requiring asylum seekers to remain in mexico. ah. arising corona, virus infections and the arrival of the new variant are pushing several nations to look at stricter measures to contain the spread in germany, unvaccinated people will be banned from much of public life. outgoing chance. langler merkel calling the restrictions an act of national solidarity. germany's parliament duels or owes also considering imposing a vaccine mandate. andrew simmons reports on the situation across europe in less than a week. the abi chrome variant has swept the globe with more uncertainty about covert in many countries, especially in europe. new restrictions were being introduced anyway, with the winter surgeon delta variant infections. germany is the latest to announce new measures. signs like these vaccinate immunized is the way this count

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

rather the u. s. t. 's did as a manifestation of turkey do both by dan, and this is why the quote was so deep, i was so difficult to resolve it. now for a while, the turkey was looking for prices to remind us it's important for sometimes circus thought that the train can service because in black, the target laws, the operate as an, as an actor, it's the police closer to death of the major and that you and that, that can serve it, it didn't look at this, it has been, it hasn't showed up with it. but in that can it's done. non target thing that, that kind of thing can be such a, you know, a good prices at prices that can bit a new data with this kind of so story, cancer icebreaker in relationship. but it is unlikely to be in the relationship, but it is unlikely to overcome the nature of the interaction with me. but i think anything can, can show to, you know, to a big change, decline, nicholson emissions. you to change the language on the relationship because let's not forget, blink and in his confirmation

the u. s. military released this photo, they say is the last us commander on the ground cobble airport boarding. the last u. s. military flight out of afghanistan. in the past 2 weeks since capital fell, the taliban, 823000 civilians, and 6000 us citizens had been evacuated, making it the largest mass documentation undertaken by the military in us history. secretary of state antony, blinking, estimated under 200 us citizens were still in afghanistan, wanted to leave, but couldn't. and called on the taliban to live up to their pledge to allow them to do so. we will hold the taliban to which pledge to let people freely, depart, afghanistan. the taliban is committed to any one with proper documents. leave the country in a safe in order to be mad. they said this privately and publicly, many times lincoln indicated to us would keep lines of communication open with the taliban. but said it would do so from doha. qatar with us would set up a diplomatic mission to cobble, or we could speak live to gabr

and the last day that the u. s. was in afghan stand sort of complimenting and tipping their hand to the afghan to the taliban for their help securing the airport on those critical final days and weeks money. thanks for that. gabriel and his andre efforts in washington dc. well, as we mentioned earlier, the you unsecure to council adopted a resolution to let people who want to leave afghanistan de so safely. but it's not known if the taliban will go along with this. the u. s. hopes the resolution will protect people's rights to leave ask, honestly, no matter. the reason kristen salumi reports now from the u. n. as the u. s. was completing its withdrawal from afghanistan. the security council was voting on a resolution meant as a message for the taliban, that the world is watching. one such commitment which the taliban has made publicly and privately, is that those who wish to leave afghanistan will be able to do so. today's resolution signals just how seriously the security council takes that commitment along with th

and the u. s. has warned russia of severe sanctions if it invades ukraine. president joe biden and baton rouge and held a to our virtual call that ended with no breakthrough. putin ones guarantees that ukraine wont join later. now the funeral of a sri lankan man biesen to death and pakistan on friday is about to begin in his home country. a crowd attacked brianne to deal with donna before dragging him into the streets and setting him on fire staff at the factory wade. he'd worked at accused him of destroying a religious poster. pakistan's prime minister says more than a 100 people have now been arrested. well, let's speak to michelle fernandez. she is outside victims, home in tampa, in sri lanka, manella. i understand that mr. dia donna had a wife and 2 children. how is everyone doing that? her? that's right. no sir. the entire family is very much in a state of shock. i spoke to his wife, ah, who is? i still trying to take it all in the fact that her husband is no more and then he came to such a br

and the u. s. is not only concerned about iran, it's also concerned about domestic perception of engagement with iran and about re entering the nuclear deal. so i think it might be a little bit more complex. we don't know whether these are separate trucks or whether they're related. but in terms of censorship, we should, i think, be concerned when these types of approaches are taken and turning the d n as the domain name system into a tool geopolitical information warfare. because that threatens the integrity of the internet and the global network. that is the world wide web. so we want to be very careful about this. scott. i saw you nodding along somewhat. courtney was saying there, did you want to jump in? i think dr. us is absolutely spot on and that is the wider issue here beyond us in your on is the president this such ok, fine us happens to be able to trust the domain registry the us to exert pressure on iran. does it do so with other countries? not only china or russia, if they're perceived

the u. s. was much more concerned with defeating iso ah at the end of 2016 after weeks of bombing, syrian government forces retook a lap of the country. second largest city had been an opposition stronghold and a symbol of hole didn't like it at the other than a food. and although less of the food, what is the theme of believe that is on the duty of the feel fellow, by the 5th of one of the whole of the money that while us had remained in power, obama's turn ended in 2070. and donald trump became us president from relative inexperience and his perceived closeness to vladimir putin, may have encouraged asset to authorize further chemical attacks in april 2018. and we begin today with a horrific attack overseas, and a forceful threat here at home. the pictures coming in a warning, they are difficult to look at. children being hosed off, treated after an alleged chemical attack. and duma president trump responding on twitter, vowing a big price will be paid, slamming syrian president bashar al ass
