largest democracy, sam with where is india headed? this is the moment to unleash on violet bars. on these legacy stood august 6th on b, w. ah, [000:00:00;00] ah, this is the w news live from berlin us house speaker. nancy pelosi arrives in taiwan to find threats from china, which describes a trip as extremely dangerous and threatened

a military response. plus russia supreme court designates ukraine's as of regiment, a terrorist organization. many of the as of soldiers who were captured in mario paul, could now face harsh punishment. and the u. s. killed one of the key plotters of the 911 attacks present or bite and says, i'll chi deleda. i'm in all the water. he died in a drone strike in afghanistan, after years in high did ah, hello there, i'm healing muhammad us. how speaker nancy pelosi has landed in taiwan after weeks, a speculation of a whether she would visit the island that china claims as its territory. turner is quoting the trip a major provocation and is threatening a military response. pounds. defense ministry says 21. chinese jets have entered

what it calls, tie one's air defenses. but pelosi says have visit, reflects america's commitment to supporting ty, ones, democracy well at 20 me now is tito. he is a stefan simons in washington d. c. so stefan the white house held a press conference later tupelo seize trip lesson to watch at the national security spokesman john kirby had to say, we're obviously monitoring her travel as we always do for members of congress. and we've taken all appropriate measures to ensure the safety of her travel throughout the region. let me be clear. the speakers visit is totally consistent with our long standing one china policy. we've been very clear that nothing has changed about i want child policy. so again, the white house rates rating that pelosi strip is not officially supported by the president, and this is just her decision. how much liberty does she have when it comes to making such decisions? all the liberty she wants as long as she doesn't impair on the national security of

the nurses of america. then probably the pentagon slash whitehouse would step in by the house that in with advice with telling the speaker of the house. this is not right, this is not good and you are endangering actively enjoying life. this is he and not the case. it is not the case that miss philosophy made this decision to go. finally decided to go to taipei. i'm advised. there were conversations between pentagon whitehouse and the staff off the speaker of the house all through the last few weeks and month and yes, she was told the white house wouldn't advise on her go in there. but um that didn't went so far didn't go so far that anybody told her your should really not go because you are endangering the lives of americans or other or, or chinese or, or would wretched up. for example, a conflict with china that is not the case. and cabby was also very clear that this

does not change the u. s. position on the one china policy. so where does that leave things well on the, from the perspective of the americas or from this side, he leaves it with the hope that the chinese are not. they can taken it too badly under the u. s. understands that may be stable. rary, a rattling or, or rhetoric as practiced by the chinese, the last few days is part of the game. but um, the u. s. is monitoring what china does and expects china to be, let's say, upset and maybe does military exercises. they already started doing this. maybe launch a few rockets into the, into the time when he see or infringe on the airspace of taiwan. that is all may be expected, but the pope is here and of course the effort from the americans. how to see to keep this all on

a level so it's manageable that there's no misunderstanding or mistake which leads to worse things. and domestically in the united states, what's been the reaction to policies trip there, and china's threats of military drills? well it is divided actually it is a little bit along a political lines here and i also, democrats, whitehouse are now of course supportive of the speaker of the house. visiting taipei again, reiterating this is not a breach with the one a good policy of the united states. china taiwanda is not the united states is not trying to divide or cause a division here. however, and that was, is what the united states did. they support for taiwan. on the other hand here, republicans for several g o, p members and specific right. leaning networks. they are of course heavy none of this and say that the speaker of the house is endangering national security here.

but that is speaking to experts and people who really know what they're talking about, not the case. okay, w stefan simon's reporting from washington, d. c. thank you, stefan and china has complained to germany off say via german foreign minister. and alina babble, criticized chinese aggression towards ty, one seeking in new york, miss babcock said, germany stands with the united states. we share american concerns. we have painfully learned over the past month with february 24th. that aggressive authority can turn into a dangerous action. china's commons was regard to tiven, raise serious questions. it cannot be in our interest if china is creating on top of this excessive economic dependency in its region. to w mckenna,

cooper has more from new york when she arrived yet united nations. yesterday she wants to talk about nuclear non proliferation, but she was, of course, also asked about not to close his visit at a consent, then still planned visit to taiwan. and she said that it simply wasn't acceptable in relation to rossa. that a big estate could attack the smaller neva and that international law also applies to china. now that didn't go down. well, a protest was delivered to the german ambassador in beijing. and clearly this just shows chinese reflex when that is criticism. although we have learnt out of the background to that, there is no interest to really make a clear statement of reaction on that visit. it appears just like the united states . they want to see this visits speak for itself and the odd fuel to the fire, because quite clearly what we are seeing from the chinese side. that is quite

a bit of anger over this visit. russia supreme court has ruled that ukraine's as off regiment is a terrorist organization. the decision could mean harsh sentences. val fighters, who have been held as prisoners of wool, the as a regiment, is a ukrainian military unit with a fall right and national background. it was the focus of russia's claims about fascist elements in ukraine. the group fought for months during the siege at a steel plant in mario pl question back separatists. separatists are calling for them to be executed. this was the as of steelworks earlier this year, inside thousands of fighters from the so called as of regiment. from within the tunnels under the steel plant, the regiments leaders sent out video messages. this is our repeal to the world as could be the last appeal of our lives. we are probably facing our last days if not hours. the enemy out numbers us $10.00 to $1.00,

but they didn't last much longer. order to surrender by the government and keith, the steel plants, defendants were taken prisoner, russian officials called them nazis. the group does have a far right history. we found that in 2014 as a volunteer militia to fight pro russian separatists and the don bath region. current members have rejected being cold, nationalists, or radicals. however, they say they're patriots. russian media also said the group miss treated civilians and matthew poll, but without evidence. videos showed fighters helping civilians evacuated the days before the surrender. since then, the captured fighters have become pawns in the game potential assets in an eventual swap or ceasefire negotiations. as the war grinds on, without them,
