hello nicholas, this is al. does your life and all that coming up? china launch is military exercises practicing in circling taiwan after the islands . president met the u. s. how speaker an italian tourist is killed. 5 people injured in a car attacking televi, please say the attacker was shot keeper's elderly population struggles to survive as young people leave the island in huge numbers. ah, let's start with taiwan and chinese media reports in the military drills around type r 8 rehearsal of quote, encirclement of the island. so on says more than 40 chinese plains and 8 warships have crossed the medium line. this runs from the waters near japan's southern islands through the middle of the taiwan strait. beijing, his deployed fight will destroy as long angel tillery rockets in the 3 games. the

drills were announced. days after talks between ty, ones, president and the u. s. how speaker in los angeles, it's of her such meeting on american soil in decades. while in taipei president, assigning, went out another meeting with us officials delegation from washington, bled by the chairman of the house. foreign affairs committee is i to discuss weapon supplies, the u. s. doesn't maintain official ties with taiwan, but supports it's right to defend itself. union avenue, which means we would under quarter in recent years, we have faced continued authoritarian expansionism. corporation among democracies has become more important. i would like to reiterate that the people of taiwan love democracy, to seek peace and our team to for full the responsibility in the international community. we will continue to work with the us and other like minded countries to jointly defend the values of freedom and democracy. last one,

1st many sure. i saw or no here. in taiwan. and upon no process, we will deliver those wells, and we will provide a free director nahoo from piece latino from malcolm davis, who's a senior. i listed the front strategy at the trade in strategic policy institute. he believes that china will continue to apply pressure on taiwan. look, i think everyone realizes that china regard taiwan as part of its territory. the taiwanese have a different perspective. the vast majority of taiwanese dancy themselves as part of china and have no wish to unify with china. so i think china is gradually increasing the pressure on taiwan. some people liking it to boiling a frog. essentially if you increase the pressure gradually, eventually it becomes unbearable. i don't think that's going to work with taiwan. i

think what you will see is that the chinese will expand these exercises. i have a time that become more aggressive. and the question is, at what point do they drift over the line of essentially a military blockade, which would be an act of war? so that's what i think is going well. the chinese have now said they're going to stop an inspect shipping. in the taiwan straits, which would be a violation of international law. the chinese, the taiwanese have said, no, we're not going to accept that. and so we'll be entering to see just exactly how far the chinese are prepared to push this. if they do stop an inspect ships in the taiwan strait and the toilet, and i know we're not going to comply them, there's the potential then for that to get into some sort of exchange fox and the chinese coast guard law that was released last year gives the chinese coast guard, the ability to use force and the chinese hope kind of god is equipped with an awful lot of form appeal. i, navy, destroyers and frigates. north korea has conducted another test to what it says is

saying is that they are going to continue to try and really defend him in these circumstances. and from the bottom line is, as the baton administration is really echoing, that rare bipartisan condemnation of the allegations that we've had in terms of that statement that has come from capitol hill from the top senators. mitch mcconnell, as well as chuck schumer, essentially demanding the release of evan girth coverage, how they're trying to handle it. and so far, it's been unsuccessful, has been to get what's known as consular access, and the so the u. s. embassy in moscow has been working unsuccessfully, so far with the government in russia to try and get communication. they're trying to do this so that they can get the family in contact with the wall street journal reporter and also his employer. about what we've learned is so far,
