the, the, this is dw news, lived from berlin, lodging tay, when's tie one's presidential election? the ruling democratic progressive party's candidate emerges victorious over his 2 opponents for the presidency. his election. we'll set the trajectory for times, relations with china for the next 4 years. also on the program, the u. s. military strikes whose he targets in yemen for a 2nd. stay to the leaders by to retaliate on warren, that us on versus interests are not considered a legitimate target. the

who know thanks for joining us. in taiwan, the ruling party candidate lighting day has won the presidential election, giving his party at the p p. and unprecedented 3rd time live secure to just over 40 percent of the votes ahead of his nearest rival. and the opposition can t, china claims taiwan as its territory and in the run up to the election called lie a dangerous separatist. the d p. p champions tie one's separate identity and rejects beijing's claims of sovereignty over the island. now let us welcome our next president and vice president lights in the and show me t a. it's a moments with far reaching implications for tie wants future liking the of the routing, d p. p, victoria softer a t i. e. 43 way race. this is him speaking to the international press, moments of to winning the presidency. that's it. i wonder. i mean, go, well,

thanks to the time when these people for writing a new chapter in our democracy. we've shown the world how much we cherish our democracy. this is the unwavering commitment policy. the defending time owns democracy, was it the hearts of life campaign, and projecting pressure from badging to succumb to chinese route as opposed to the government led by lodging. the, because his goal was very clear, he knows clearly that we are a country and that taiwan has an independent government to, to a position policies at fort for a recess of relations with aging. and some 60 percent of votes is back to them. but with the opposition, 3rd splits, it wasn't enough. back at the d. p. lighting the insisted he was ready to talk, pointing out it was china that had long stumbled him. he called on badging to think of get logan exchange can mitigate the risk to china.

only when we replace obstruction is to them with communication and confrontation with dialogue. can we achieve peace and share prosperity? well, our chief in special ed sir richard walker followed the elections closely in taiwan and sent us his assessment of lodging does. when, as we rely, who's made history this, we can because no tie one east party scenes tie one became a democracy has managed to win the presidential election 3 times in a row. so that something of a breakthrough for lie and two's democratic progressive party. i did certainly not was trying to want you to see it, his ways labeled lies potty as being a separate, to support a bench on declaring independence, something that lie. and he's bought c team, deny william lives message in his victory speech, and speaking to the price off to the result as being very much we have committed to

the states as quote that they don't want to rock the boat. and really it's now kind of over to you to the chinese to see how they might react to that. but there is a kind of interesting ambiguity to this result because it was that way. that's a historic victory for the d p. p. certainly that, but it has come down very significantly from the last election 4 years ago. william live winning on just 40 percent of the vote. and that's partly because it's become a 3 way race. there's a new party in the mix called the g p. p which wants to focus on kind of brenton budget, economic issue. so these are kind of some of the 2 dues that william line now has. first of all, those economic issues as a lot of discontent in taiwan salaries, a low rent, so high, particularly affecting young people, so on the to do list is trying to tackle that problem. and then also there's an epicure to in this result, that even though the people of taiwan have once again elected a member of the party, which is robustly kinda critical of china. still,

a majority of 6060 plus percent voting for those 2 other parties which favor more dialogue with china. so that's can be interesting to see whether william lice sees that is now his obligation to make a really serious push to try to establish the little bit of china. now he's proud to use never would to dialogue as being the chinese refused and sold to them. would it be interesting to see if this election results as inputs as to try and get some use sort of talking going on across the taiwan strait. that was richard walker, d toby's international editor. moving on to the middle east, near the us as carried out a 2nd day of military strikes on who's the rebel targets and yemen. us officials say that new targets posed a threat to shipping in the red sea, which is, which has been disrupted by who's the attacks and recent weeks. who the leaders have i to retaliate following the attacks. the aftermath of air strikes on who's

the targets. the ripples said, at least 5 people were killed as 2 waves of strikes had 28 targets in parts of game and controlled by the rebels. the us and u. k. c. v strikes were acts of self defense. the who was these are backed by iran. they've been targeting ships in the red sea for weeks with the group releasing this voltage in november. a bit. spiker is appearing to see the vessel. it claims the attacks are in response to israel is war in gaza against the radical islam is how much organization it's the u. s. b, u and other countries. i'm labeled a terrorist group a different ship though, the us. it's connie launched another attack on saturday, destroying a who's the radar station with a miss file present in spite and want there would be more to come if the who these didn't leave shipping alone. we will make sure that we respond

but he also said that who these main allies knew better than to escalate the conflict at the united nations. the us once again pointed the finger at turned on. we need to also be clear about the role of iran and these attacks without arriving in support in violation of their obligations under resolution $2216.00. the who these would struggle to effectively track and strike commercial vessels. navigating shipping lines through the red sea and the gulf of aidan to the iran. that's how i russia is currently waging a war of aggression against new crane. but it condemned the striking claiming that they were against international law to make up the website. though there is no authorization for the arbitrary acts, that the us and its allies are carrying out in human. and there is the risk of

a full fledged war not only in human, but throughout the region. it's a worry, shared by some, including these protesters in seattle. but washington, once again, sees air strikes as the least bad option to keep a conflict from spreading. well, how's the echo? schindler is senior director of the counter extremism project. he told us, if these latest strikes will actually have an impact on the who sees, i'm afraid this is not going to be the end of it. so what we need to reopen, really the maritime straits, the a but monday and the so is canal is a sustained maritime military presence. to make sure that there was these cannot compact and piracy um, any ships anymore. and we need to deter them from using that long range, striking capabilities. that's why they message from us and okay. and the international coordination was, or the only problem there is both towards the, with these as well as to the wrong motivation wise to both. these are

a super empty based i'm, i'm t submitted both with as logan is called is the greatest as to where i got this too as well occurs upon the jews victory to his lab. so we have to assume that they are continue wanting to continue to try to take advantage of the situation off the war farm us against the as well to gain favor within their support as within the capabilities that they will. these have uh, streaming from your off. so let's take a look at some other headlines related to the conflict in the middle east. thousands of pro palestinian protesters have marched in central london. they called for a ceasefire and gaza as the conflict between israel and how mazda approaches its 100 today on sunday, london's metropolitan police said some 1700 officers were deployed for the march is rarely prime minister benjamin netanyahu says, no one will stop his country from achieving victory against him, off militants and the gaza strip. he said, israel is planning

a huge addition to its defense budget to cover its future needs. well, he added that one goal as an independent military fracturing sector manufacturing sector as sorry to ensure israel's security. and most of the look up to the most run health ministry says at least 60 people have been killed and the latest is rarely strikes on ga. so bringing the tools to adapt tool in the territory to almost $24000.00. these really military says the strikes destroyed. rocket launchers and killed several post and in militants come off as designated to terrace organization by multiple countries. now sunday marks $100.00 days since the hamas terrorist attack on israel. and since then, most of guys, this population has been displaced on almost 24000 palestinians, have been killed. according to the hamas run house ministry, dw reporter mohammed kyle, who visited a refugee camp in the southern city of rafa. to learn more about the dire conditions there,

a theme stood is living in difficult circumstances. here in a tent in m a y z. in a city of rafa. in the south of the gaza strip, she was forced to flee home in northern garza in search of sight, shelter, displacement has deprived of even the most basic necessities she had. i'm the one who i am for the harlem we're suffering in does come knocking jeep. we cook over fire and we have to carry water in buckets of a long distance this mailbox. and there is no access to safe water forms which forces us to drink dirty water. how kind of our children get sick frequently and suffer from all nutrition and cold was all about a relief organizations will not be entering the gaza strip covers only 10 percent of its need. rudimentary comfort, such as blankets, mattresses, intense,

i mean dangerously short supply chain and sick. i'm nothing to me. you see how we lived in the tent. we have no clouds to protect us from the code that we do not have fed cup us lovely. there's not enough food and we are suffering from hung a little like enough. it should have a place such as a just one and was going to say about 117 people live here in this town. and there are only 3 beds and 3 bed covers life a month or so long as you can see, there's no roof to protect us from the rain. and the dent is dilapidated, say my children are you and her family have been appealing some blankets and other donations and distributing these to those most needs across the camp. yet many remain extremely vulnerable in harsh weather conditions. now one of the slide here after the house, next 2 hours were struck by the my daughter was injured so we had to get out saw

some for so we had very few things with when we came here to rough, um we had little clothes, but it's not enough that if it's cold in the 10, it's not cool in the summer and not warm in the winter. so when it rains to 10 fits with water levels, one came up in how my yeah. the shortages of blankets, clothing and tents, just some of the many challenges facing displaced people here in rafa. unless great to humanitarian aid arrives and soon even valuable work such as the themes is i'm likely to bring it in to suffering well over in europe. now i, france's new foreign minister has reiterated his country support for ukraine during his 1st trip abroad since taking office to find says, renee said ukraine is on will remain a priority for friends. his visit comes after another by roger of missile attacks by russia overnight. key residents took shelter in the city's metro when russia

fired dozens of missiles and ruins across ukraine. the cleaning government is asking for more air defense systems to defend itself against russian attacks. rena moran is a defense analyst at king's college in london. i asked her what she made of air strikes when the russian strikes are a part of the newly commenced in error can pain that the russians will be conducting in order to damage ukrainian military industrial complex and in order to make. so you korean armed forces, week, or the a most the russians is of course to remove any possibility of a counter offensive. and to make it easier for the russian forces to take more territories and to achieve the military and the political objective. so we're likely to see more strikes for the coming months, because the russians will want to achieve air superiority or air supremacy if they come and ukraine. well,

that's all for me for nice sports. life is up next. don't forget, there's always more on our website and our social media channels. i'm 100 who will . and berlin, thanks so much for watching. take care. the . the old cod my is have to do with you production. here's a hands on business. so really indeed the snow on youtube, the goldsmith. i'm not saying in the late seventy's shlomo smiles now make go stop bogging on.
