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
12:04 am
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,
12:05 am
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
12:06 am
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
