sovereignty. taiwan said on wednesday it had detected 14 chinese military plains and 3 military vessels near the island. sy has just returned from a trip to central america, where she was visiting country like quasi, marla and belize, to have tie ones, few remaining diplomatic partners in the region. last month on, do i switched it's ties from taiwan to china? well, as you're saying, this is the most high profile meeting between the taiwanese leader and american to take place inside the united states itself is what we heard from house b, kevin mccarthy, a bit earlier with or hunt present a manual micron insist that china could play a key role in peace negotiations between russia and ukraine. he is currently on

a 3 day visit. have a chang for the 1st time in 4 years. will also be joined by you commission present as yvonne de lion not call will meet with present sheeting ping on thursday is called dialogue with china. essential shaminy on sunday. see that v and china has proposed a pace plan. we welcomed it, but do we agree on all of it? no. nevertheless, it provides a will to engage in the resolution of the conflict. and so with this is not a plan for pace. it is a willingness to have a responsibility to try and build a path towards pace. and i hope to be able to participate in the initiatives useful to the ukrainian people when it comes to, to chime of course we are. one is one. so you were to call so of china, thus, any provision of lethal, 82 o 2 russia from of, from china will be a big mistake with profound consequences or so far we are not been able

to confirm. and the provisional lead laid about this is something we we follow very closely and we also community good very clearly that this will be a big mistake or russian present at him. a person as accused west intelligence agencies, of helping ukraine commit acts of sabotage. he urged his security officials to mount a stronger response. coleman's follow sundays bombing in st. petersburg that killed a prominent military blanca christian, also welcome new ambassadors to russia, including that of the united states. i was there as joseph jabar, your ports on this. now from moscow, as seeming new very relaxed russian president vladimir putin received 17 new ambassadors of the kremlin on wednesday, where they will receive their credentials to live and work in this country. among them, the newly appointed u. s. ambassador lin, tracy, and the russian president took the opportunity to express his views about the

relationship between the united states and russia and where things stand, letting me put and said that america's use of tools such as the support for color revolutions as well as a could a taos in key f have led to the current ukraine in crisis, but still russia's in favor of having relationship with united states. but that's based on the principles of equality. he also talks about where things stand between russia and the european union. let's listen to some of what he had to say, a u. p, and unions. relations with russia have deter, recreated a lot in recent years. unfortunately, we will do everything in our power to make them work in the right way for russia and for the economies of its members states. we hope that the logic of mutual cooperation will prevail over time law report and also went on to say that he's not looking to isolate his country and that there is no hostile intentions towards anyone when it comes to russia's foreign policy. what was notice if we absent from

this 20 minute speech that he delivered at the clubland on wednesday, was any comments about finland's session to nato, which took place on tuesday. doris's avari al jazeera moscow all the time in his presence, sighing. what is currently in the u. s. state of california. last she's meeting house because kevin mccarthy, this is a very significant set of meetings at the time the president is set to have just as the u. s. as expressing it's a support for taiwan, a perhaps more hawkish policy on china. there is a risk that it could cause some sort of retaliation just when a tensions are running high as a war. and ukraine continues out what we've just been hearing about. but to rosen, jordan is following these developments from washington d. c. what have we been hearing from met sign when and kevin mccarthy are still speaking at the moment? well they're still speaking at the moment,

but it's so very important to note that this meeting is a part of the dance that official washington engages in with beijing when it comes to the matter of taiwan back in 1979 when the u. s. and china normalized relations, part of the requirement on washington's part was to give up diplomatic ties to ty pay. and so the visit of the taiwanese president of car and one is an unofficial transit as words, not even a visit in diplomatic terms to the united states. that said, members of the us congress, both republican and democratic, have been eager to show their support for ty wants political independence, as well as showing support for any military support that it may want. now that is something to that. the biden administration has been willing to provide at sub right now the current proposal is some $10000000000.00 and military support over

the next 5 years. and that's probably something that the biden administration will be able to provide with cooperation from congress. what we have been hearing in particular from the house speaker is ongoing support for the taiwanese people for their desires to remain politically independent. and as you noted, this is part of a transit through the u. s. whereas heisen and one has been able to meet with those who support her countries of particular aspirations. and it's interesting isn't it, because lots of different diplomatic trips happening at the same time, which is speaking about micron being in china. and he's spoken about dialogue with china as being essential in trying to reach some sort of resolution in the war and ukraine. but of course you have seen tensions bitching by ging and washington rise since biden came to office. it appears as though expressing support for taiwan is a way of exacting pressure on china at this time. it's

a very, very tricky balancing act. we'll recall that just about a year ago and august, the former house speaker nancy pelosi went to taipei to meet with president chi. and that really angered beijing, and you saw a very aggressive military posturing in the waters around the taiwanese island. this time, even though kevin mccarthy has said that he too wants to visit ty pay instead, he had the taiwanese president meet with him. and his republican and democratic colleagues at the ronald reagan presidential library in simi valley, that's a suburb of los angeles. and so this could be perceived as a basically trying to find somewhere, not exactly a happy medium but a medium in order to not give bay gene any more reason to further degrade relations between it and washington. and we certainly did here on wednesday,

a word of caution from the u. s. secretary of state antony blinking again, telling the chinese that they should not take advantage of president cars visit or transit through the us as a provocation or a reason to love further worse relations. or to take more belligerent steps toward the u. s. and toward especially taiwan. okay, thank you very much. from washington d. c. rosalind jordan. thanks, fran ah un security council will meet on thursday to discuss a violent israeli police rate on the alack. some mosque in occupied east jerusalem . the incident at the holy site left at least 12 palestinians, injured israel says it was trying to remove people who'd barricaded themselves inside, along with stones sticks, and fireworks violence is drawn condemnation and demands. the de escalation from countries in the region is asher name. now reports fire works,

light up is lambs, 3rd holy is site as is really police move id during ramadan prayers. social media video from inside. oh ok. so mos shows police officers beating people with baton good book. i was on the reading, the quote on that is that it is whose tongue grenades and one hit me in the chest is really police say dozens of masked juveniles armed with fireworks clubs and stones barricaded themselves inside. they say when attempts to coax them out peacefully failed. the police force their way in more than a dozen palestinians and police officers were injured. a alex, a mosque, despite all what is going on, is purely for muslims and cannot be shared. everything that is going on and happening by force will never be legitimate. jews visited the compound hours later

to observe passover on tuesday, hamas and others urged palestinians on social media to go to alex, a mosque referred to by jews as the temple mout to quote, defended from the occupiers. in a statement, israeli police said the attempt to disrupt the holiday in the routine of prayers and visits to the temple mount is the result of increasing and site met on social networks by terrorist organizations. among others, those rioters are 1st and foremost, harming a large population of muslims who wish to celebrate and to pray safely. oh condemnation. on both sides was swift. the arab league and the palestinian president's office criticized the violence and the jordanian foreign ministry said israel would be responsible for the dangerous consequences of this

confrontation. israel's national security minister urged the cabinet to convene and respond to rockets fired from the gaza strip by sunrise on wednesday, the situation was calm, but with ramadan pass over and easter holidays overlapping this coming weekend. tensions are high in the old city. natasha game l 0. occupied east jerusalem. a palace, an ambassador to united nations as it israel must be held to account for what happened in alexa. we are having this press conference to express our outrage and condemnation of the attack by the israeli forces and the settlers against allah had m sharif. unless did that luck saw and. and there it is, the right over the palestinian muslim worshippers to exercise

their religious or duties and prayers in this holy month of ramadan. and in any other time in this sir, holy, oh ok. so mosque. and they are, the israeli occupying authorities has no right whatsoever ever to tell people when to pray and when not to pray, whether they want to be inside a lock. so moscow 24 hours or 5 hours or 10 hours. this is the exclusive right of the palestinian muslims and their friends muslims, to practice or their religious traditions. in this place alone, the arab league will hold an emergency meeting to discuss the incident. ha, son, zach here. the assistant secretary general of the arab league says that the palestinians need protection is

a very tense situation and we not only of course, condemn it, and we lay the blame totally and squarely on the israeli government. this is a political organization. we can do political and diplomatic work and this exactly what you're set up to do. we are going to work politically and diplomatically to expose what israel has been doing. it's not that we need another accused from the israeli occupation forces to storm in the like some mosque they. they never have excuses. they always tell you that there would be youth barricading. i'm asking guns and so on. that's. that's that we have heard it so many times it's, it is almost irrelevant at this point. this is a government that is bent on harming the palestinian population on using all sorts

of violence and extreme course in order to make them comply with its way. and it's not going to happen. we know it's not going to happen . anyone who has but little knowledge about the situation would have told you a month ago, 2 months ago, that in ramadan, things are going to pair up. because in ramadan they use maximum force and the palestinians who come to the mosque to pray are now going to take this force all that peacefully. so it's going to be there. we're going to be fascist. and just quit know, turn that off to the right on a lot of rockets were fired towards southern israel from garza, in response to that israel carried out as strikes on the gaza strip, which it said targeted masses, military sites or stay across ice and everything else quicktime for a quick break here on hours, and i will see you in just

ukraine. you have stood shoulder to shoulder with us and we are grateful for it. i believe that these are historic relations. historic results with the store strength between our countries. for me as president donald trump has lashed out at new york, prosecutors for bringing criminal charges against him. on tuesday, trump pleaded not guilty to 34 counts of falsifying business records, linked to hush money payments out of the election in 2016 and defined speech in florida. trump claim he was the victim of politicized prosecution, designed to derail as 2024 presidential bed trunk court. the new district attorney, a criminal and said the judge and his family were trump pieces. gabriel alexander has more in this now for me all on how the u. s. media covering the trunk case. people in the united states are waking up to blaring headlines from the historic day at this court house behind me. when donald trump surrendered here and had his

arraignment, i want to show you some of the headlines. this is the new york times the headline trumpet, charged with $34.00 felonies underneath that. it says district attorneys sites payoffs to a porn star a playboy model, and adore man. and of course, that now a famous photograph of trump sitting in the court room surrounded by his lawyers. want to give you another perspective as well. this is from a conservative new york tabloid called the new york post. this is a different take on the situation this says trumped up, is that it brags historic case versus don, falls flat. and there you see of course, another photo of donald trump in the court room. this is a conservative tabloid. it's owned by rupert murdoch, also owns fox news. it has a tendency to be much more supportive of donald trump. there's another tabloid here in new york. it's more liberal. it's the daily news. and it had

a photo of donald trump and just the words underneath the headline we're trump arrested. but that paper has been sold out at all the newspaper kiosks, all over town. i couldn't find it anywhere, but we are near the china town neighborhood in new york city, and i was walking through there this morning. and this is a taiwanese chinese language paper. they sold here in the united states, and you can see as well the main story. you don't even have to read chinese to know this. donald trump, of course, the same photo of him sitting in the courtroom. now the stories are following the former italian prime minister silvio berlusconi is being treated an intensive cat at a milan hospital. the 86 year old is reportedly in the hospitals cardiology unit, but his condition is said to be stable. but let's go and he was discharged from the same hospital last week after undergoing routine checks his fort italia party isn't italy's ruling right with coalition, although he doesn't have a role in the government building media tycoon who,

that 3 italian governments between 19042011 has had several episodes of ill health in recent years. the husband of scotland format, 1st minister nicholas dodging, was arrested on wednesday. peace and morrow was detained as part of the investigation into the scottish national parties campaign, financing. moral stood down as the chief executive of the governing pro independence party last month. police have now released maro while a report will be sent to the prosecutor's office for foreign reports on this. this is a dramatic development in the 18 month police investigation into s n. p. finances, detectives and forensic offices conducting a full scale search of the family home in glasgow, while more teams executed search warrants at other addresses including the party headquarters. nicholas sturgeon, successor as s n p leader, found his pre planned tour of glasgow medical center, hijacked by the unexpected news. i was told this morning after the event and,

and of course my reaction as you'd imagine that much later anybody involved in the s m. p is that this is a difficulty for that party, but again i just yesterday, and emphasized so important for me not to comment on a life police investigation. and c. b seemed to prejudice that in any way, shape or form peter morale and nicholas sturgeon with the ultimate power couple in scottish politics. morale, the chief executive of the s and p for more than 20 years until he was forced to resign. last month. sturgeon, the leader of the party from 2014 until her surprised resignation. in february, the pressure on them increased by the police probe into the s m. p. 's financial affairs. some $748000.00 of donation to raise for campaigning purposes. with seemingly diverted for day to day expenses, and the real questions about a $134000.00 loan it mr. marell made to the party to help with apparent cash flow problems. just a week into the top job,

mister use of keen to emphasize his drive to improve party accountability, to get the any see or to agree to a course of action or own governance or own transparency. well, some external input, i think external inputs going to be really important because people are, or do you have questions about the party, about transparency of our finances? i think we have to reassure our own party membership as well as a broader scores public. the s m p looks in serious difficulty as well as the questions about the parties financial state. it's hopes of a new independence referendum were dashed by a supreme court ruling november. and latest opinion polls show clear majority of scotts would actually vote no to independence. the s empty conference on march 19th now takes on even greater significance pope and, and i'll just here we're now chinese artist i way, way has, and you show the design museum in london. it's called making sense. and it's his 1st exhibition to focus on design and architecture and excel from his native

country. i way way is now our loyalty in the west. but as a challenge explains, he's still a punk at heart. how are we to make sense of the accumulated weight of human history, all the people, all the cultures, all that time? chinese artist, i way ways answer is through the objects. we've made things. he's been obsessively collecting for decades. here, 5 so called fields are arranged on the gallery floor. they include 4000 stone age tools meticulously laid out in rows. a quarter of a 1000000 song dennis t teapot spouts discarded a 1000 years ago for not being perfect enough. and the remains of i way ways. porcelain sculptures destroyed when chinese authorities demolished his bathing studio in 2018. his eyes about history, about memory, about a collective experience of personal and society,

and about our understanding of what happened in the past. the craftsman shape the material, a center piece of the making sense. exhibition is water ladies. number one, it's an enormous recreation of claude monet's. famous impressionist painting, but rendered in lego bricks. highway is often speaking to us through the scale, the sheer number of things, ancient teapot, spouse, cannibals. so lego pieces tells us about the scope of human history and endeavor. but it's interesting that this, avid collector staff doesn't actually care that much about the r he create. he said he doesn't even look at the final product. it's in the process rather than the thing where he finds life. i think that there's something about ways method which is to really understand something he wants to collect all of them. that's the kind

of comprehensiveness and the kind of massive vision at work that since he fled china in 2015 after his anti authoritarian arch, landed him in jail. i way way has made his home in europe. but his punk ethos makes him a perpetual outsider. you're often described as a, as a dissidence artist. i wonder how you feel about that name and where the art is stops in the distance begins. i'm, i'm, i may be a distant but not as this and to also korean state. but rather to doesn't. this then cool human unconsciousness on the injustice. you know, a lot is not just happened in one state, but in general condition of the road. as proof of that, another of way ways works here is called middle finger a colorful series of obscene gestures, exuberantly indiscriminate in its.
