capital. i paid the house speaker landed at some shawn airport, beginning a controversial visit, which has triggered a barrage of strong warnings from beijing. the visit, pelosi said, is a show of america's unwavering support for democracy on the self. rhode island, that message that resonated with some residents. john, god, your boyhood friends visiting from the us is a very friendly gesture. or you'll sondra the go button on job how to help taiwan game recognition internationally. bought out of the pelosi is the most junior your us official to visit taiwan in 25 years. dear us backs taiwan, but does not recognize its independence from china. and the white house says hello, sees acting in a private capacity. so le, busy don't talk to b is for meet a sign off, a sincerely solidarity shown to taiwan. and yes, i think you can call it

a trend important, a better policy turning point. but not every one. welcome to u. s. official with open arms. pro china groups demonstrated against policies presence and china's ministry foreign affairs condemned to visit as a serious violation of the one china principal. while the white house any i gave a briefing on pelosi trip, his the national security spokesman, john cabby roboson, 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 with settlers. his trip is not officially supported by the president. i asked d. w. washington correspondent said on simon's how much freedom she has in her

choice of way to go all the liberty she wants, as long as she doesn't impair on the national security of the notices of america. then probably the odd pentagon slash whitehouse would step in. but how step in with advice with telling the speaker of the house this is not right, this is not good and you are endangering. actively engaging life. this is here not the case. it is not the case that miss philosophy made this decision to go. finally decided to go to taipei and advice. 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 i didn't went so far then go so far that anybody told her your should really not go because you are endangering the lives of americans or other or, or taiwanese or, or would wretched up. for example, a conflict with china,

that is not the case here. 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 are from this side here, at least with the hope that the chinese are not. they taking 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 more turn war china does and expects china to be, let's say, upset and maybe does military exercises. they're already started doing this. maybe launch a few rockets into the, into the tie 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 place he's trip there and china's threats of military drills. why it is divided? actually it is a little bit along a political lines here and i'll say, 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 a 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 painted heavily, stefan simon's reporting from washington, d. c. thank you. and russia supreme court has ruled that ukraine's as of regiment is a terrorist organization. the decision, it could mean har, sentences for fighters were being held as prisoners of war the as a regiment, as the ukrainian military unit, with the far right and nationalist background. it was the focus of russia's claims about fascist elements in ukraine. the group fought for months during the siege and a steel plant in maria, full rush and back separatists, according for them to be executed. this was the, as of still works earlier this year, inside thousands of fighters from the so called as of regiment. from within the
