in charge of the country, one recognized by the international community based and tripoli, the other drawing its power from the country. these has em, ryah's says the only way forward is for elections to be held over. they are not carmella will die, met him with an addition because it is the residence of tripoli who are paying the price. they are the victims. the population of tripoli is nearly 3000000 people and they don't want either government. they want to vote for who they want and power elections are. the only solution. things have calmed down since the fighting began, but people here still fear that libya may be on the verge of a full scale conflict. now, trina audra 0 shibley's to you as navy warships is sailing through international waters in the taiwan strait. and the 1st such transit's intentions with china heightened over us. how speaker nancy plays his visits. tie one earlier this month,

making we actually furiously to that visit staging days of air and sea exercises around the island. it claims as its own. chinese military says it's monitoring the u. s. navy ships passage and is ready to and it's was defeat any provocation. sunup hurry as a senior fellow at the international institute prestigious studies asia office. they joins us now from sing. we'll get to have you with us. so the u. s. is saying that this is routine, tie one straight transit. is it well, i mean the u. s. is of course, and we'll search through the taiwan straits before. but the real significance is the fact that the place you visit happens the 2nd of august. and you know, this is happening is just 25 or so days later. it's the sequencing of the speaker of the house going to taiwan and the fact that the u. s. is not comfortable enough within a month to send these 2 guided missile cruises through the taiwan straits. it is extraordinary from us perspective,

to be able to project this kind of strength in defiance of china's claims to, to want to reunify taiwan at some point in the future. oh, so how provocative is it in what way could china react? well, this is actually quite difficult, the china to react to because we're talking about the transit of these 2 u. s. guided missiles, cruises them and they trans, at the taiwan straits and in our off into the future gc. so there's nothing the chinese can do in relation to those 2 cruises in particular. but what we've seen in the years in recent past is that the, the chinese have signify signals that displeasure us activities of all kinds warships and spine plains, everything else by sending that are in chinese, across the taiwan stereo identifications, i. so that's a very high possibility, i think is another overflights of an all mazda of chinese plains, either telling one that's an important distinction didn't tend to fly over time.

want to think sometimes we hear this, we think the choices of buzzing taipei, they're actually covering the aerial identifications. i'm taiwan, which is sort of an area that extends around the, the, on the taiwan. how on a knife edge is this situation as the us and bay jang faceoff? it really is it a knife edge and for number of reasons to pose lacey because it is only the latest that we over the last few years seen. for example, in different fixes that china's suppression of democracy and the old ptolemy in hong kong we've of course seen the russian invasion of ukraine. these, these issues, these episodes, these dramatic events are, i think accumulating to create unbearable pressure. on the taiwan, a situation in relation to the key relationships usa to time one, how bold the usa be and it's teacher support to tie. but of course also paging to taipei. how bold will, will china, the people's republic of china being signaling that,

that persistent displeasure to time when a statement of, of sort of independence and the spirit of independence is apparently very much more prevalent amongst time when the society now i just, i lost a well what is the state in taiwan? i mean how a p for how is it affecting people's lives? then i think a when i speak to colleagues who are in taipei and jordan, singapore like don't give you that on the ground. he, i think what comes out is a growing and awareness that the defense of taiwan is not just an abstract exercise or false experiment. it may be something that we may be called upon to do in the foreseeable future. it's having, i think it impacts on the debates around military service. the length of conscription, the quality of training, it's having an impact on clarity, the approach to the elections in a couple of years. time in taiwan sideway successor, whether they'll represent have all sort of balance of way of managing relations with on the one hand washing to the other hand, beijing,
