social media and the undeniable impact of the mainstream narrative australians went to the pole with those images front of mine is a war is very much going for, it's out in the media as well on the battlefield. they're listening page to dissect the media on al jazeera. ah now, more than ever, america solidarity with tom i want is facial euros. how speaker nancy pelosi meets, ty, one's president, but washington says it's not supporting independence for the island. chinas reacted angrily to the visit. is saying it's planning target as military actions around taiwan. ah, i'm all about this,

and this is obviously life. and doha also coming up the warring factions in yemen, extended truth just hours before it was due to expire. the un welcomes the move, but agency see the death toll continues to rise. the 1st ship carrying grain from ukraine since war began with russia arrives off, is stumble. there are hopes the you and broker deal will ease a global food supply crisis. ah, the speaker, the u. s. house of representatives. nancy pelosi is meeting the president of taiwan despite warnings of severe consequences from china. pelosi is the most senior u. s. official to visit the self governing island in 25 years. china, which considers tie one part of its territory, says it will launch what he calls. targeted military actions around the island by one's defense ministries accused chinese drills of violating its territorial space . pelosi earlier spoke with the deputy speaker of parliament. i am called for

increased cooperation between washington anti pe. we come in friendship to taiwan. we come in peace for the region. we look forward to our conversation about how we can work together, learning from you and, and sharing some thought ourselves on how to protect the planet from the climate crisis. how to accelerate and learned from you, how you addressed of the coven crisis, how we advance of respect for all of the people in our countries as we go forward. time he's present sighing. one says it's important for democracies to work together . and also who can rush us invasion of ukraine earlier this year has made security over the taiwan straits. another focus of worldwide attention aggression against democratic taiwan would have a tremendous impact on the security of the entire in the pacific. facing deliberately heightened to military threats. ta one will not back down. we will

firm yup, hold on nation sovereignty and continue to hold the line of defense for democracy. counselors who are on beijing says, policies visit is a serious violation of the one china principle, which is u. s. policy. the chinese military says it's on high alert and it's launched targeted military actions around. so i want to, i want to fence ministry, says the drills of violated the islands sovereignty and breached to un rules project for as a journalist base in beijing. and he says, china's president wants to highlight the country's military strength on an international scale. well, that has been very strong reaction from china as it been expected, vice foreign minister see fung summons the u. s. ambassador to china, nicholas burns, to lodge stern representations and protests. the foreign ministry also issued a statement echoing a lot of what we've been hearing the build up to this visit. but also in particular to say that the executive branch of the u. s. government had the responsibility to

stop this visit from going ahead and the china does not accept that this is an unofficial visits and part of long standing u. s. policy on the military front moments after nancy pelosi touch, dan and i pay the purely announced that every be conducting long range live firing drills and waters off the east of taiwan. and that there will also be drills from thursday in 6 locations in circling taiwan. no doubt designed to demonstrate that china has the ability to overwhelm at the island. alice saw saying that it is unlikely though that china will take any hostile act wall. nancy pelosi is still in taiwan. but at the same time, the response is likely to be far stronger than anything that we've seen in recent years. it is important, of course, for president she jumping not to be seen to be weak on this issue and to be seen to be in control, particularly at what is

a very sensitive time for him. but there are concerns also that this will be used as a pretext for more regular, a military aggressions and provocations towards ty, one living golf alonza international editor of taiwan. plus she's joining us fire escape from ty pay good to have you with this dea there. when we heard the, the speeches that were made by the president and, and nancy pelosi earlier on a torn, has very cordial. it was referring to the history that her, that sir there exists between the u. s. and anti wine. and of course, nancy pelosi is on interest in the area. she was awarded the order of propitious clouds, which i understand as a civilian order of the republic of china all very pleasant. but it's the very fact that she's there a tall which is causing so many problems. absolutely. you know, i, for taiwan, it is a seen as legitimacy having someone at high level at nancy pelosi coming here. taiwan has puget le magic allies. they're not represented on an international stage

. so having that people are becoming a, gives it that legitimacy and recognition that desires. but the same time that the very thing that a give pie one is what makes china angry. china claimed by want to break away province. the bed that they will brady pie one back into the fold by 4th if necessary. and so that has, you know, that those flexing of them, mostly muscles as your course wanted, was talking about is very much in line with that. but i want to pick up on a couple of other things that that has been spoken about during close these visits . and one of them is the whole idea of supply chain president lying man had spoken to a speech along with the us and all the gestures of friendship that taiwan is very, you know, cognizant of protecting supply came back down to the fact that i wanted a huge manufacturer. oh, going into iraq. they're just very briefly,

we're going to go to a live press conference that's being held by nancy pelosi and the president of taiwan signing into what they have to say. 3 supports to people because question here, one firms to boost public confidence in the sense of democracy as a foundation to our partnership with. i think i told him because the luxury that we are committed to maintaining the state school across the stream. everyone's people are metric. we says we'll come to main congressional delegation since i run over the years. and a normal practice of friends is a think each other is inherent in our culture. oh, hospital ministry emphasize our unnecessary responses. i one has always been open to constructive bible and we will work with

a co this to bring above stability and peace in the region. thank you very much, madam president. and now i'm honored to keep the for, to speaker pillow, see to deliver her remarks. thank you very much. thank mer, marriage, my head for your leadership and for the leadership a gather here with you today. i'm proud of my delegation. we're almost like one unit that chairman of the point affairs committee chairman better that makes mr to kind of chair veterans the best buy here of, of form or owner king. she's in ways and means that the trade committee, i congress for my season del, banning and member of intelligence committee. mr. fish to my fee and a member of the foreign affairs and i'm services committee. mr. kim, i say that because when i speak, i might receiving your kind words as well as this invitation is really

received and appreciated by members of congress or the on both sides of the eye on both sides of the capitol. great enthusiasm for the us. taiwan relationship. this is put in perfect over 4 decades ago. the taiwan relations that was built and building a strong bond between our 2 countries advancing our shared interests of government, economy and security. while respecting the one china policy are solidarity with you is more important than ever as you defend, i want and your freedom. and i, bilateral meeting, we discuss key opportunities to deepen our partnership upholding democracy and human rights in respect to the individual combat. and, well, i get around to carmen. 3 areas said i just mentioned security, economy governance, security. our relationship is a strong one and we discuss how we are what can make it stronger and what,

and up to date, our economy. we talked about a trade agreement that might be possible and soon and in governance at, among other things. and in governance. i want to salute taiwan for the leadership. you have fight it and fighting, hove it probably one of the highest rates of a vaccination, but also the lowest number of death from cobra. a real model for the world. it's about science, but it's also about community acceptance of a plan and that is called leadership. and thank you for that election to all of us and the research review with those 3 areas. we come here on the president's lead on the the endo pacific economic framework. that's interesting. we support that again in terms of security,

economy and governance. how are i part of that? so we want to builder as a different set with the economic package, with our security package and trade agreement, hopefully that is imminent. so this is a very important time for us because we came here to listen and to learn about how we can do this more effectively, really achieving the goals for taiwan or that we all aspire to. but i don't understand as fully as we do now because of this trip. so again, i think it's a great cry for us today. the 1st woman speaker in the house are needing the 1st woman, president of taiwan. we have her some enthusiasm for that. and again, we're very proud of our representatives on founder lesandra,

our clerk. and i'm candidate my colleague who's in there been a so it may just a moment to take some pride in women's leadership. again, i delegation came here to send an unequivocal message. america stands with taiwan banking. ok. thank you very much. are your hon right now with the permission for our president and us be your policy will be taken up all the questions from the media. so we'll proceed right now taking the 1st questions off from taiwanese media, and they'll be raised by mister joseph year from c and 8. joseph presence i, madam speaker and joe, from the central news agency. i'm representing more than hundreds of 1000 either. i was given one question, so the question will be a little bit long. so please bear with me because we have waited for 25 years with

this chance error. so you're the 1st house speaker to visit taiwan in 25 years. so do you foresee that your visit will bring up even more similar? hi, senior official, us from the to visit, ty, wine, the future or maybe you are speakers? i this is the 1st are my question. and the 2nd part is a corrine's up with ty, one tribal at a high level visit, or 2 way thing. so a lot of us congressmen hire has propose a person's high to speak at u. s. congress. if possible, to see that it could realize any time soon in the near future, especially under your leadership in the house. and a final question is, i'm sorry, i'm sorry. the final question is, how do you see how the chinese welcome you with military exercise and sanctions

against? i want to proceed at thank you. well, 1st sent me. thank you for your questions on behalf of all of those other people. and if you say that in terms of our visit here and what that lead to other visits, i certainly hope so. but i think it's important to note that the members of congress, several of them had made trips just earlier this year. 5 senators, i part of them came again including the chair of the foreign relations committee. manenda came not too much of a fax, was made, sent individual centers as may chips or plan to make chips. and i, i just hope that it's really clear that while china has stood in the way of taiwan participating and going to certain meetings that they understand, that they will not stand in the way of people coming to taiwan as the show of

friendship of support. but also a source of learning about how we can work together better in collaboration. so it, yeah, no i, i don't. i think that that they made a big fuss because i'm speaker, i guess i don't know that was a reason or an excuse because they didn't say anything when the man came. huh. it with the 2nd part where the self employed well bided to the u. s. congress to me, that was the 3rd part, but i'll go there. okay. that was the 3rd flight. i thought a we hadn't had a joint session and probably 30 years and come with it partially because of covert, but even before that it was christmas and all that. so we haven't had any joint

session, but we had try to accommodate visits by bringing together bring by the both sides of the aisle and, and both sides of the capital. and i would hope that that, that opportunity would be there at the joint session has become something of again, because it's cold, we can't, we are no good. it's even hard for us to do the president state of the union address that you had the space and you had been timing, but you know, early on lee or i don't know. i think that whatever china was going to do, they will do an own good time. what excuse i may use to do it is another thing, but you really know more about that than i do. i do think that the, it's really important for the message to be clear that in the congress house and senate democrats and republicans are committed to the security of taiwan in

order to have taiwan be able to most effectively defend themselves. uh, but it also is it that are shared values of democracy and freedom and how taiwan has an example to the world in that regard and don't. whether it's certainly insecurities on the part of the president of china as to his own political situation that he's rattling a favor. i don't know, but i feel it doesn't really matter. what matters to us is that we salute the successes of taiwan who work together for the security of taiwan, and we just take great lessons from the democracy. thank you very much, madam speaker. right now we don't take questions from the international media and i would like to buy it sampson. at least he is the type he bureau chief of bloomberg news sampson. oh, man,

president. madam speaker. we have seen the chinese authorities take multiple economic actions against individual taiwanese companies and entire sectors of the economy. here, taiwan has already paid a cough field visit and is likely to continue to do so. with the coming days of weeks. what concrete tangible benefits can you promised taiwan? offset the cost of your trip? well, went to the same time as the ship is taking place in recognition of our common interests . economically, we just pass the chips and signs act. this is something that opens the door for us to it. again, have good, better economic exchanges. i know that some taiwan business is significant minds are already planning to invest in manufacturing in the united states and at the inter,

nobody the entrepreneurial spirit in the brain power at where the intellectual resource that exists and in taiwan and the success of the tech industry here for one, for 11 factor a has been a silly a model, and again we want to increase our relationship. so i think that of would be family what that would be a goal we share. but with this chipset, we're really a facilitating reaching that goal too. it's, it's pretty exciting. it's very exciting and i think that you will see an ear recognition of the scientific success at that time has had on the model for how would avoid that my bill is called chip and science.

thank you very much, madam speaker ran out. now, last but not the least up, we'll have a representative from the japanese media. mr. she don't quite did her son. he's the bureau, chief of i saw he shambling of japan alone, your humble plenty. he was a governor of the one to r. thank you very much for taking my questions. my question is about the tenant democracy. now we are witnessing the chinese also. it is very good is it will be a fresh shows not only to pay money of people and the hungry, but to their own fiddle. i mean the tiny people and as the found on the wrong time, other booking over demography for the let thus share you ideas. how the democratic countries in greeting south korea, japan,

where you are heading due to the car, china from invading taiwan military and how we can guide china tor, the democratic boy, the go to system thinking well, 2 things in the context. your question comes in the context of right now, a struggle between autocracy and democracy in the world. we cannot act away from that. and so as china goes and uses itself power, money and whatever into many countries in order to get their support at the u. n. and other body, we have to recognize if that has some effectiveness because it's a lot of money and it's of promises that may or may not ever be kept. so when we talk about taiwan in that context, we have this help from strength. if you tell from strength if you took from an what

time, what taiwan has been so good about is being technologically advanced, whether it's in business or securely. and we have to show the world. and that's one of the purposes of our trip to show the world, the success of the people of taiwan, their courage, their courage to change their own country to become more democratic. if the term more democratic at their respect for people and the rest. and quite frankly, a model in this region and that respect in those respects. so strength, goodwill. and again, the demonstration of a democracy that has evolved through a stronger plague now. and it offers

a very strong contrast to what's happening when mainland china. no more evidence needed than what happened in hong kong under one country to system. it didn't happen. but again, when i hear talk about mainland china, we're here to talk about taiwan. we have our u. s. i. taiwan relations act. we support the community, pays of this, that and the other thing that had gone before, so we're not, we're, we're supporters of the status quo and the rest. and we don't want anything to happen to taiwan by force. so stray and, and one of the biggest sources of strife is democracy. i said at a meeting earlier with the parliamentarians and our earliest days of our founding about country, benjamin franklin, m presidency said freedom and democracy,

freedom and democracy on one thing. security here. if we don't have, we can't have it either. if we don't have both. so security, economic security economy. and again, they're all and governance. they're all related and we want come on to always have freedom with civility. and we're not asking them thank you very much. anything you like? thank you so very much ladies and gentlemen. today's event is especially important because we are witnessing the historical visit of speaker pelosi to tie while the can be the message of the u. s. support to tie one. so we know in a challenging time like these towers may belong, we also relate to thank very especially to prescient tain when for her leigh of

sheep, her resilience, strength, and wisdom shall in leading, tie one. 0 sources. he appreciation goes to distinguish members of the us congress or company speaker pelosi in her cheap. your friendship means a lot to us. thank you so much for being the anti one. 0, so thanks for the presence of so many officials from our view you aside from the tow and said, whose effort make this event possible and you want to know, does it it will be bringing your life coverage of a press conference by house speaker nancy pelosi who's visiting taiwan as part of a tour of asia, despite a shot warnings from china and also the press conference on also being hosted by the time when he's a president at sy in when nancy pelosi, they're talking about a variety of different things in response to questions put to her by the members of the price she did make the point. there have been 5 us senators already who have visited taiwan that this year alone, all of the men, none of which seemed to provoke as a significant, a response from china as her visit seemed to have done. she also said china has

stood in the way of taiwan attending certain meetings, but it has to understand it will not stand on the way of people visiting taiwan. i want to bring in it, did you go for lunch? who's the at international editor of taiwan plus and has been with us throughout the morning through this visit. and were there any specific takeaways that you heard from that pers, conference, because it sounded to me like a, in many ways, a reiteration of the fairly harming message that we've heard from both sides over the last few hours. look, i'll have to agree with you on that and on the point about those men who did the signature is not provoking as much as a response. well, part of the reason could be because she is the highest level us setting official to visit taiwan so far so that that could likely be china. elevated response, both in words and rhetoric and economic actions. and as we can see, the military action buttons that are taking place around,

ty wants waters now to say anything to you there. i mean, she extended the habit, the more because he talks about all the things that she's known to talk about human rights and, you know, friendship in democracy. and you'll just talked about that chip back the semi conductors issue. she made a surprise visit to our met the ceo pie one semiconductor manufacturing company t s m c c, which is the largest contract for me, conductor manufacturing company in the world. and part of the reason is because the us is trying to manufacture its own semiconductors. so when she talks about trade, also there seems to be some, some kind of benefit for the u. s. and all of this, you know, semi conductors are used across the world. everyone needs them. and so, yes, i would say nothing really that knew about from what she said and nothing that's surprising, you know, including those pre built. she's talking about the things you could really on and

on with that chip act which has to do with semiconductor manufacturing, mostly in the u. s. which may not necessarily be a particular bonus for taiwan w. thank you very much. goverlan international editor of taiwan sauce, or want to bring in 20 chang, talking to us from bangkok, tony to find us not correctly. there are military exercises going on at the moment, involving about 5000 indonesian u. s. and other troops in the region. how do you think this visit is being regarded by the neighboring countries around taiwan and china? think everyone's watching very closely. they've been very aware of the pressure that's been been building up in the anticipation of this trip, whether widow would not go ahead. i think the fact that we've now got a huge amount of chinese military power deployed very close to taiwan will make people rather nervous. there is the potential for a clash, an accident of some sort,

but i think they're also where the president biden has been speaking to. president sheeting thing was spoken of several times the last couple of weeks. and i think they are acutely whether both of those sides will be trying very hard to avoid any potential clash that this raises tensions in the region, i think will be a concern for some. but i think they'll also be keen to see how the americans read, whether this is part of a policy of sustain pressure. whether this is just going to be a flash in the pan to put china a little bit and see how it reacts, or whether we're actually going to see a sustain presence in, in this region. as nancy pelosi said in her land so on. so this is a 2 pronged policy from the states, one of soft power, but also talking from a position of strength that we've heard that from the white house over the last couple of decades, i think. but there are many countries in this region who would like to see

a more consistent age policy from the united states. they haven't seen that to this point. they'll be very interesting to watch in the future. if this is a change in policy and then we're going to see a consistent position from the united states in asia. tony, thank you very much indeed. tony chang talking to us from buying talk. we've been covering the visit of us democrat, nancy pelosi, who's been in taiwan, despite warnings from china. she's been meeting the taiwanese presidents i in when she's gonna have lunch and then she'll be flying back out. ah, this is our disease. these are the top stories from the speaker of the us house of representatives, nancy pelosi that is beating been meeting the president of taiwan. despite warnings of severe consequences from china. pelosi is the most senior us official to visit the self governing island and 25 years. pelosi earlier spoke.
