ah mm mm oh oh

you as how speaker nancy pelosi says the foundations of america's relationship with south korea. i'll stall on several levels. she's meeting with officials that one day off to a controversial visit to taiwan. ah, hello there, i'm to start the italian. this is al jazeera life and also coming on a rocky, she, a politician, looked outsider, demons, fresh elections, saying supporters should continue their occupation of parliament. us president joe biden signs a 2nd executive order, making it easier for women to travel between states, french portion, and the 1st grain ship to leave ukraine since the russian invasion process inspection and a sample. the next stop is lebanon. ah,

ah, you as how speaker nancy pelosi is currently in, sol, her talks with south korean officials, one day after a visit to taiwan, that is stoked tensions with china. she'll reportedly was that the, the demilitarized zone on the border with north korea, for lucy's tour of asia is also included stops and singapore and malaysia. it will end in japan. she's that to discuss regional security and economic cooperation. while she's in south korea. and my friends that when we come and travel as the delegation are $3000000.00 pillars or security economics and governance in all 3 of those areas. the you with self career u. s. career relationship is very strong. and tony chang is in bangkok with more on the talks between pelosi and no south korean officials. it wasn't expected that she would see a president yoon on this trip is on holiday. but it was announced yesterday evening

. they would exchange a phone call. south korea's foreign minister is at the and meeting him non pin. but i think that in some ways is an advantage for the south koreans. they have been slightly caught out by the controversy regarding the taiwan visit. their keen not to offend the chinese who remain their largest trading partners, but they are also a very strong ally of the united states. there are u. s. forces based in south korea and they remain a i think, very close in that respect. so i think to a certain extent, this trip by nancy pelosi, what she couldn't come to this part of asia without visiting south korea. she is doing that. she'll be on her way or to tokyo later this evening. but i think the most substantial part of this trip that remains will be done in tokyo when she meets prime minister, cuz she did to morrow. interesting also to note that nancy pelosi will be the 1st or the highest level us official to visit the demilitarized zone between north and

south korea. since donald trump did it in 2019. and i think that it also illustrates just what a change there is in policy or regarding the trump administration, the by the administration of trump. but put very the dpr k, very much at the top of his foreign policy, a gender in asia. there were those 2 summits or where he at, she met kim duncan, but there's been, it's been much quieter under the bi biden administration. i mean, while a senior chinese diplomat has described nancy, place his visit to taiwan as planned and provocative. meanwhile, taiwan has scrambled jets to one of 27 chinese aircraft in its defense zone. now because at that most powerful politician was there for less than a day, stressing washington support for taiwan. china's military has responded conducting a serious address and fixed exclude zones that surrounds ty, 13 of the zones overlap areas that taiwan says a part of its territorial waters. the drills include long range live ammunition

shooting in the taiwan straits. china has warned all vessels to avoid that area for 72 hours. almost half the global container feet though it passes through that walked away every year. well, percy's visitors, posing new questions about china's relationship with the u. s. manage, i'm jim reports. for us. how speaker nancy pelosi, a high profile trip to taiwan, fraught with both complications and contradictions. america's 3rd most powerful politician, repeating washington's commitment to protect democracy on the self governed island, while also respecting beijing so called one china policy. today the world's face is the choice between democracy and autocracy. americans determination to preserve democracy. here in taiwan and around the world remains iron clad. taiwanese president citing when who gave pelosi,

one of the highest civilian honors, promised to defend the island from beijing's threats. since hello, aggression against democratic taiwan would have a tremendous impact on the security of the entire in the pacific. the man facing deliberately heightened to military threats. ta one will not back down. we will firmly up, hold on nation sovereignty and continue to hold the line of defense for democracy. china, which considers taiwan a part of its territory, has said it once a peaceful reunification and views, policies visit as a direct provocation. oh, okay. one, tie, one sighing wayne and her ilk according to the us and turning their backs on national justice. these behaviors that go against the trend of times will not change the international consensus of one china and will not change the historic trend that tie one will inevitably return to the motherland. those who play with fire will not come to a good end,

and those who offend china will be punished. even during policies visit china's reaction was fast and furious. suspending imports and exports of several goods to and from taiwan, conducting joint air and sea live ammunition drills near taiwan. and summoning the u. s. ambassador in beijing, policies trip has come to an end. but with chinese american relations at such a low point, it's not clear yet what the long term repercussions of this visit will be momentum job as it oh, there is ng has in the last allied described to lucy's visit as a manic, irresponsible, and extremely irrational act of the us, patrick fuck is a journalist based and beijing, and he says, china is calling these drills unprecedented. while the mother to provocations are far from over. remember, china begins live drills and 6 areas surrounding taiwan to day, effectively encircling the island and demonstrating china's ability to overwhelm it

. so i want to fence ministry has criticized the move, calling it effectively a fee and air blockade. but one of the reasons why this is happening today and the say is because as we know nancy pelosi has now left the islands and try to wanted to avoid direct confrontation with the u. s. but it's difficult to say just how far beijing might push the envelope of assertiveness or towards taiwan and that something we're going to be watching very closely today. china has described these drills, including the drills that we've already seen as being unprecedented. and officials quoted in state me to day said that they were to demonstrate a war plan rehearsal and also to show the u. s. in taiwan. the consequences of further provocation. chinese analysts quoted in state media also said that the fact that china did not intercept nancy pelosi, his flight was not

a sign of failure. but instead, this is being used as an opportunity to progress the goal of reunification and the weight of nancy places, township foreign ministers from the association of southeast asia, nations had expressed their concern about the possibility of open conflict between the major powers delegates from the 10 and our cmg park county holding talks in can that is capital minister, say there concerns that volatility could lead to miscalculations in the region. the aging maximum restraint, frankly, has one half and an on pen countries, in se asia are concerned what's happening in the taiwan straits, phil over to the region and we've heard the audience foreign ministers issue a statement saying, but they are concerned about the volatility that could lead to miscalculation that miscalculation means that there is a risk of conflict, a risk of confrontation, and urging max memory strain in the saying that they are ready to play a role in facilitating dialogue. now, all of that, of course,

is taking place against the backdrop of a long standing territorial dispute in the south china sea, where several member states of rpm had overlapping claims with china. with seen, china use increasingly aggressive tactics in the last few years to stake its claim . and that has led to confrontations with, for example, the philippines, vietnam in the pine members. they don't want to see that happening. and southeast asian countries want to have a unified code of conduct, but that's proving to be quite difficult to achieve. member state, non claim and member states have been accused of siding with china in the past. for example, cambodia, when it was the host the last time 10 years ago. it was the 1st time that the member states were not able to agree on a final joint to communicate and members are keen to not see that happening again. now and add to that mix is the us with it. pivot to asia is declared commitment of one thing to keep the indo pacific region we and open it use of conduct of

freedom of navigation operation in the south china sea to make that point something that china has become increasingly vocal about that. well, i mean, the russian foreign minister ross has paid an official visit to niana ahead of his trip to cambodia to join those meetings. elaborate how talks with the military agenda discussing security and economic issues. russia has supported the countries rulers since they seized power last year. awe in solidarity was effort. so feel prime minister your government to normalize on the delay the situation young. we know that you're planning on next year to have a problem in 3 elections sung we. we shall success in promoting your country in making your country stronger and why fission and moving on and iraq's influential. she, a politician, looks out, outsider, is demanding an early election. he says dialogue with the government has proven to be futile. he delivered

government will accept his call at there is no really functioning government at the moment after the elections that were held last october. since we'll cover all souther instructed his m p, 's, 73 of them to withdraw in june. the country has been in limbo. so the question now is whether the other sides will accept the fact that there should be another election help. the next process that will come is the speaker of parliament would have to basically dissolve parliament. and then they will have to announce new election. it is unclear what the other side that will be involved in this. i will have to say in the coming hours, we'll have to wait and see, but certainly most southern standing his ground urging these protesters to continue . what he calls is a peaceful revolution that will eventually hopefully get their demands. met their ordinary iraqis. we've been speaking to say they are tired of all these politicians and they're back and forth and their divisions. they just want to see their country
