the, the, this is the, to the news why from berlin? ty, once president elect vows to defend the island against twins from china, in his 1st speech, since this election, victory liking the says, kill safeguard taiwan against what he called intimidation from beijing. we have the latest from our corresponded in taipei plus the refugees after a 100 days of war. we report from the camp in southern gaza, where displaced people are facing desperate conditions in the wake of the longest running conflict between israel and her mom.

and a warm welcome to viewers around the world. unlike locus, we begin in taiwan, where the ruling party, candidate liking to has won the presidential election, giving his party to d. p. p. an unprecedented 3rd term lice secure just over 40 percent of the vote ahead of his nearest rival. in the opposition k m t. china claims taiwan as its territory and in the run up to the election called lie a dangerous separate test. the d b p champions taiwan separate identity and rejects page rings, claims of sovereignty over the island. now let us welcome our next president and vice president lighting the and show me t a. it's a moment with far reaching implications for taiwan future. liking the of the routing d p, victoria softer a tightly for 3 way race. this is him speaking to the international press,

moments of to winning the presidency. that's it. i wonder. i mean, 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 out democracy. this is the unwavering commitment to defending time wants democracy, was it the hearts of lies, campaign and rejecting pressure from badging to succumb to chinese rule as opposed to the government led by lodging. the, because his goal was very clear, he knows clearly that we are a country and the 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 them with communication and confrontation with dialogue. can we achieve peace and share prosperity? for more on this, we are now joined by dw chief international editor richard walker in taipei, who has been following the elections very closely. richard badging opposed the d p p and their candidate during the campaign. how did china react to lightroom does when that's why the badging certainly didn't win. what liking to, when they weren't before the election, that they wanted the people to tie want to make when they called the correct choice . and this was very much in that rise, not the correct choice. so we have been monitoring what the chinese have been saying and doing so far. there was a statement from the foreign ministry pretty soon off to the result,

came out and it was quite interesting to look at. i would just quote like, wonderful base of it. and it says, you know, the timing question is, china is in total effect, that's always what the chinese say, whatever changes take place in taiwan. the basic fact that there's only one china in the world and that taiwan is parts of china will not change. so this is all very familiar language from china. in fact, china here saying that nothing really changes with this result. so i think that could be interpreted as a relatively positive sign, because if china believes that nothing has change, well, why would it then mount some major military response? at least that might be the 1st thinking. but still, of course, taiwan is on the lots and the ministry of defense does say that a number of chinese navy vessels have been observed today around taiwan. but still that's really nothing. i do agree that's the kind of kind of military intimidation that the china has some sick subject to taiwan to for, for many years. and that's intensified in recent years. so i think so far so good.

but certainly tie one will be monitoring this very closely and of course the rest of the world as well in the days ahead. richard report sent the opposition candidates for it for a reset with china to be clear. what does that mean in a nutshell, and what do you make of the fact that the majority of tire needs 60 percent voted for that vision and not lice? yeah, i mean, that is really an interesting thing about this result that we really must stress that this was an unusual election in taiwan in that it was a 3 way split that was a new side party running in the race for the presidency which, which meant that the, the vote got most bits unusual and of course, like, as you said, a new 40 percent of the vote and the majority of photos voting for parties that are calling for more dialogue, some kind of reset with china now in terms of what that could look like, well the opposition parties were saying that, you know, this isn't something where you would suddenly have sort of very high level political talks between ty, when a child that they was saying, no,

you would take it slowly at 1st, maybe increase. so things like cultural exchanges or business ties, which would be in frank somewhat in recent years. so. so that was kind of the message and that seems to be what alerts a lot of folks as well. now as we saw in the report, the lighting does says, i'm happy to talk to china. it's them who's been who have been blocking me. but i think it will be interesting to see going forward to what extent he takes this message from ty one. he's focused on board if he tries to find new creative ways of kind of breaking this, this kind of stone rolling fit. so it was mentioned in the report that i am trying to find some level on which she can enter into some sort of dialogue with, with china. so we'll be watching the space. these are the dw is a chief international editor richard walker. many thanks, richard, to the israel home us war is now 100 days old, making it the longest and bloody is conflict between the 2 enemies. the as long as

militant group of moss designated a terrorist organization by the us and other countries attacked israel on october 7th. more than 1200 is rarely as were killed since the attack almost 24000 people had been killed in garza and 1800000 people have been displaced by israel's military campaign. dw reporter mohammed cool who visited refugee camp in gauze as southern city of rasa. to learn more about the difficult conditions displaced people face their or or even stood, is living in difficult circumstances. here in a tent in milwaukee, in a city of rafa, in the south of the gaza strip, she was forced to flee home in northern gaza in search of sight, shelter, displacement has deprived of even the most basic necessities she had. i'm the one who am for the harlem,

we are suffering in this kind of knocking jeep. we cook over fire and we have to carry water in buckets of a long distance. this, the boston, there's no access to safe water was which forces us to drink dirty water, how our children get sick frequently and suffer from all nutrition and cold was a really bad relief. organizations will not be entering the gaza strip covers only 10 percent of its need. rudimentary comfort such as blankets, mattresses, intense, 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 been such 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 for sure thing, 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 media across the camp. yet many remain extremely vulnerable in harsh weather conditions. now, one of the bottom of the slide here after the house, next 2 hours were struck. my daughter was injured, so we had to get out for some time. so we had very few things with our. so when we came here to rough, um we had little clothes, but it's not enough that if it's cold in the 10th, it's not cool in the summer and not warm in the winter. when it rains to 10 fits with water. one little pain, oklahoma. yeah. 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 as i'm likely to bring it in to suffering. tens of thousands of years relays gathered in protest in tel aviv demanding the government do more to secure the release of hostages, held by him off marking $100.00 days. and some of us kidnapped some 250 people. during the october 7th attacks, dozens were released during a week long november cease fire, but more than a $130.00 remaining captivity to this block instead of the is counting time for hostages being captive in cause a as those that are in a must war, reaches the 100, the mach families, of course, to just demanding the immediate time of their loved ones. within 45 days since i was released from how most captivity in garza,

as long as my husband is not home, i am still a hostage. his time and bass of a $135.00 of the hostages is running out despite the long lead diligence, almost agency, they will not give up the night is the $100.00 they already did. my brother is a hostage in gaza and came here because it's a 100 day. it's very difficult for the family, for the children and for everybody. and we all to bring him back. bring them home now to start, unless campaign by families has gained by dispense support, depression, anxiety go up and to make concessions for safety. tons of plus these is the only service, but the problem, the same, gave no signal that is right would big down in their community campaign. again,

some us hold on just a moment, come up as a so we are continuing the war to its conclusion to total victories in this until we have achieved all of our objectives to become the elimination of a mosque and the return of all our hostages. and the guarantee that cause that will never again poses a threat to israel. we will restore security both in the south and in the north, and the simple no one will stop by slowly got so not the hague, not the excess of evil, nor anyone else. little off ahead of him. but the time running out many professors here see prime to send it then yahoo is not doing enough to bring the remaining hostages home safely. authorities in spain have declared an environmental emergency after millions of tiny plastic pellets washed up on the north west coast. normally used in the manufacturer of household items. the micro plastics now pose
