5:20 pm
and he explains why the movement of us ships through the taiwan strait is significant in the us as a call cent. woo ships through the taiwan straits before. but the real significance is the fact that the police visit happened the 2nd of august. and you know, this is happening is just 25 or 30 days later. it's the sequencing of the speaker of the house, going to taiwan. and the fact that the u. s. is felt confident enough within a month to send these to 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. well, this is actually quite difficult for china to react to because we're talking about the trends in these 2 u. s. guided missile carriers as them, and they, they trans at the taiwan straits and then they're off into the future. g t. so there's nothing the chinese can do in relation to those 2 cruises in

5:23 pm
francis his work. i make the church more inclusive, and i think it's important to reach out to groups. and that is what the pope says to do who have been marginalized, to have been kept out of the mainstream. whether that be because of the lives of economics, or of the race, nationality or their gender, or of sexual orientation. many of the new cardinals come from the global south. an area of priority for francis, just for countries are now represented in this class of cardinals. for the 1st time, mongolia, paraguay, singapore, in east timor. it is clearly francis church now more than ever. but that doesn't mean the next pope will be in his mold. if you look at the story of the catholic church conclave at the moment when it gets elected, are pretty much surprising of reform or pope is elected from
