ah, the rules are all emp, he only the south of the warning sirens can be heard. police east took every one to thick shorter. immediately. cities across tie was shut down for 30 minutes for these nationwide military, 3 years. the military, i says, i said this year are the largest in taiwan history. as you can see, the high to me all calls have been forced to put over to the side of the road, and everyone is too thick shut to do in the air read jail. how many people are taking the exercise seriously in light of the war? ukraine, that has served us a wakeup call for tie one over the thread from china. not and i think the drills unnecessary. we should be prepared beforehand. so how's day mom was through the exercise. we know what instructions to follow in case of a war. i think if the government held drills more frequently, people would know how to react in an emergency situation on the policy total was

because of the war in ukraine. we want to know where we can go and hide when we get a tax id. for example, where are the shelters in taiwan? they now hold on council, 90 ambulances in fire trucks play including rule in these 3. 0, the rescue workers pack piece putting out a fire after supposed me sell, attack the toe, and he's got them and wants to make it as real as possible to risk public awareness of emergency were nearly all the purpose of this year's exercise is to test how we would react in a real war and we will do a review after the exercises and see how we can improve one that also in a 5 day period exercise will conduct elusive time. and this will gain his ukraine in made. reservists, dick lunches on dirt breech,

a question of how and when they would do it, as opposed to whether does your government concur with this assessment? well, 1st of all, the benefit imbalance in the time i say it has become a wider and they don't who says about the units being balanced in the region will prompt you to take them. all right, rigorous action against taiwan. so we have to pay for the worst case scenario. we are not in dose idea that is about when china, when bedtime one hour proudie, just make sure that china will never use force against anyone. but show the bus factor into your thinking. do you think and envision of taiwan is imminent? well, it is a possibility that china, though, then found the lessons outside russia, evasion of korean, that china, i can't take her, she'll wool, they have the,

she'll work in the time was trip. so we had to make sure that a towel one, well pay all sales for the worst case scenario, i'm more bleeding, we'll make sure that china would think twice before they move on to the disconnect community actions against i one. and i am considering that a largest ever military drill of the taiwan is gotten to conduct and conducting is all about this. but when the chinese foreign ministry spokesman, johnny john was asked about there, he said and i caught taiwan to attempt to confront china militarily, is akin to a mantas trying to obstruct a chariot. in the end, it is doomed to fail how many fuel cost the hyperbola aside, joe knew gen isn't wrong, is he that he is wrong because town one a is needed terry? of capable of defending ourselves. but more importantly, i, every year we have this kind of ano, needed to jail, ah, prepay of ourselves full,

any possible innovation in any forms against taiwan. but more importantly, we are developing the so called, i submit you will hear, to deter china. i'm taking a mediation against higher one. so yes, china is are developing his music power. i sniff canadian the past few years. i, taiwan, he's also preparing ourselves, are in a similar way to defend ourselves. but can't, i won't defend itself from a potential chinese and vision without direct us military support. well, deterrence is, is the key is when you call it difficulties. fan taiwanda is possible and is very likely that how much has successfully deterred china. so i'm taking any, any mediation against time one, so we had to make sure that we have credible robust deterrence. does that involve or guarantee of us support and us intervention militarily, as an esl, green, but in that just needed to really,

i think the case of they are the best guessing point is you can, i can have a station again as russia and the political coalition amanda liked my to countries, i was also very important. so in that, in addition to immunity or to toys, economic and political cooperation, a mon democracies also very important in deterring china or any aggressors. i'm taking a regular edges. now jonah has warned of god resolute and strong measures. if you ask how speaker nancy pelosi goes ahead with her proposed visit to taiwan. should she reconsider her trip? well, 1st of all, china opposes any visit by any far inputted. boyd eaters, to tie one that happens all the time and we should not allow. we cannot allow china to take what you need. i can visits how i know not. so you know, we are hopeful that dab speaker, i'm lucy, can come visit taiwan and i stacy that didn't defeat democracy countries. so we are

hoping that she can visit taiwan. but again, we should not allow china to take who came come to town one. that's what you say, but then when president joe biden seized of the u. s. military assessment is that the trip is court. not a good idea right now. is president biden being over cautious? well, i don't know why the president have testified and said that, but obviously yeah, they have concerns about any unwanted aid you know, or events happening before the biden, as city in pina telephone cars. so that's probably one of reasons why ah, there will be decision. take some mo, cosivity. i love that attitude towards that kind of visit. are you at all concerned about any potential costs to taiwan if nancy pelosi visits the island, what china has always used these kind of escalation attention in italian shape to prevent, ah, to avoid any ha, you know,

in pullman ab ties. but it's how when you're on attentions and to deter on the for leaders to come visit time one, that's their skill and that's their strategy. but i don't think that sad that is that like to stay because we continue to see another leaders come visit taiwan. we leave it there for the timing, but thank you so much for joining us to do a lot you trying from the ruling a d p. p. i guess i'm a t r. thank you very much. lou . k, paul, the korean music genre has gone global, and it's a feel and with it is drawing global talents to south korea in the hope of a korea. it is by no means easy to achieve, but people are more than willing to step up to the challenge. ah, it takes a lot of passion, commitment and blog to make it in tape home. but i am new anderson was determined

to go through the rigorous dance and singing training that successfully chance out countless korean pop stars. she 1st discovered k pop in the u. k. before moving to south korea, to be honest, when i 1st started listening cable, whatever i, no one knew what it was, i was the only person. however these days i can just mention k pop and everyone's got like at least 3 groups. and like top, do they tend to go as keep up grows into a world wide phenomenon? i and who has become one of the many global talents flocking to sol chasing a place in the industry. a getting a trainee offer is not easy, but making it as an idle is far tougher. the hardware paid off for korean? american singer alexa. the 25 you wrote recently one nbcc american song contest.

ah, she's, there's her training and so contributed to her success. when i didn't begin training, i train every day of the week. i had dance classes every single day. i did those for months and months and months. and then i finally, the day came where my company told me i was getting prepared for debut. and like alexa, many more trainees have to go through a decade of training without knowing if they ever get to the view. this, in addition to harsh training conditions, has been difficult for overseas performers to adapt to experts say some trainees say dating and phones a band and weekly way checks are a must experts say the industry is now being forced to adapt, so they controlled top talents from across the globe, i know anderson has decided to take a different path. it was too much for her. the 24 year old. now, what is
