complete a ship carrying ukrainian grain passes checks and turkey under a deal with russia to restart exports, that ukraine's president says one vessel is not enough. and living in the shadow of chernobyl, dw visits a half empty town where residents still worried about a possible disaster. ukraine's destroyed nuclear plant. ah. my manuscript, mckinnon. welcome to the program. us. how speaker nancy pelosi has used her visit to taiwan to deliver a statement of solidarity. she said her country would do whatever it takes to boost ty, one's ability to defend itself. apaloosa departed from the capital tie pay a shot while ago she spent less than

a day on the self governing island during which she met with the president and address parliament. pelosi is the highest ranking us politician to have visited taiwan in 25 years. though she was not there as an official representative, apollo c ignored stark warnings from china, which views the island as its own territory. during her trip, she said she supported the status quo between beijing and taipei and praised tie one's democracy. we have to show the world and that's one of the purposes of the show, the world, the success of the people on their parish, their courage to change their own country to become more democratic with democracy that has evolved to a stronger place now and offers a very strong contrast to what's happening with mainland china

now the 1st ship to export grain from a ukraine to port since the russian invasion am i believe that is the wrong text that i'm reading that because we wanted to talk more about nazi policies, visit to taipei as we know, palo sees visit has drawn a furious response from china and to discuss the repercussions of her visit in more detail. i am joined now by he w. clifford couldn't hear in the studio and by d w's suit some hand in taipei. and i'd like to start with sue, can you tell us how important this visit was from nancy pelosi, what to taiwan gained from it? nancy pelosi visited high. one is seen us. remarkable for many local tony's people here because the last time, as you mentioned, such a high ranking us politician as in town with 25 years ago. for tony's people. it's

a commitment and solidarity shown by this high profile visit despite china's military threats. especially after what hong kong and ukraine had been through. but china now stronger than ever stated that it's a violation of is the rarity of china clamps. ty, one, this different democratic political entity, a part of it, that's why china will be conducting large scale, military drill drills from 4th to the 7th, which will totally encircled the taiwan island and my lead to possible military confrontations. clifford, if i can turn to you now, china is furious about policies, visit with seeing and reactions already. can you explain to us why this anger? well, i think, i think john is angry for precisely the reasons that that's who was just talking about. there's that it's, it's given a real boost to taiwan. but for china, taiwan is, is an aly, inalienable part of its territory, which it is threatened to take back by force if necessary. and this undermines what

it's feels are, is it solving tree? it's all sovereign sovereignty is always try to avoid having foreign leaders visit and nancy pelosi is the most senior many in decades. so it, it does undermine in, in beijing's view it's, it's claims to the island. what will happen next? nancy pelosi has now left. we're already saying military drills, what's gonna happen now? well, the military drills are interesting because what you're going to see is kind of an in circumvent of the island, and it's almost like a blockade. i think we've seen so far. we've seen things like citrus few fruits and pineapples expo exports being stopped, but at the same time, taiwan really need china really needs tie ones. microchips, for example, this was a $100000000000.00 worth of microchips to, to china. last years there's going to be a lot of them. it's going to be difficult for to, to completely do an embargo. but i think there's going to be some kind of trade embargo or, or something like that is probably going to be the next course. i mean,

we can underestimate lean date economic might of taiwan kenway, dr. and so can i ask you an all people in taiwan worried about china's reaction? as we said, we're already seeing chinese military exercises around the island that been some economic measures against taiwan. how a people feeling about all of this all the threats have been there for the past 70 years. it's hard to believe anything breaking will happen overnight. but people remember vividly how most ukrainian people in the outside world were sort of at ease when russia 1st started it's evasion. and now as you mentioned, there are new kinds of military intimidation from beijing. and china has been announced in certain bands of imports on many tony's products. before many times people i've talked to so far, they think it's a price to pay to keep a democratic lifestyle, to co exist with this harsh neighbor. but they are still worried that the price would become more and more expensive. clifford back to you now is

a direct military confrontation between china and taiwan. something that is likely and more likely following places visit. i think the threat of skirmishes of individual actions is definitely more likely because you're going to see a lot more military activity on the possibility of mistakes or even the possibility of once you've taken on another ship is much greater. but in terms of things like to suddenly lead into an invasion, i don't think that's likely i think shot most military experts reckoned. the china is 5 to 7 years away from having that sort of capability. and then it has the question of what it does with taiwan when it doesn't, vate, and as we mentioned that, you know, people are looking at ukraine now as an example, that these things are not as straightforward as they seemed a year ago. so i think it does make the possibility of skirmishes more likely, but i think an overall invasion is still some way of cable. it's a situation will be watching very closely. clifford kernan. thank you so much. andy . w. suits on hand in taipei, thanks to you. as well,

and now we can move on to ukraine, the 1st ship to export grain from a ukraine port since the russian invasion has been cleared to continue on its journey after passing inspections. the ship called the rezone was inspected today while anchored in turkish waters. its cargo was scrutinized by monitors from the un ukraine, turkey, and russia, which demanded inspections to ensure ships on not carrying arms. others only deposit odessa in ukraine on monday, carrying 26000 tons of corn. it can travel through the boss for a straight now and onto its final destination tripoli in lebanon. are you current president says regular export shipments need to be established to export grain to the world and help resolve a food supply crisis. earlier we spoke to the w door in jones is in

a stumble and he told us more about turkey's role in restarting exports. will take you paying a pivotal role not only in helping to broker the initial agreement, but to it's ministration. the, the whole organization of the logistics of it is all being carried out here in a joint coordination center where there is russian military officials, ukrainian counterparts as well as turkish and un officials. now, all of the organization of this massive operation is going to be organized, the convoys out of the ukraine. the impulse prove the heavily mind voltage, then allocated waterway through the black sea fruit to its time. both the searches that are carried out, both in and out of the ukraine, organized through here and turkey. also, not only on the logistics, i will say this moving the whole operation. this we have to remember that there are 2 warring policies, ukrainian military and russian town composites are war in ukraine, but the same time they need to work together. and turkey,

having good relations with both sides is seen is also typical to smoothing the whole operation. both on logistics, but also on the white a level if there are any missteps. one step back turkey will be working hard to make sure that this deal continues to work. dorian jones, from putting that from miss, tumble, now ukrainian engineers all once again in control of the chernobyl power plot, until the russian forces took over the facility in the early phase of the war that with moscow's unrelenting military strikes and the threat of a leak or explosion at the nuclear plant remains. he w correspondent, funny for cha, visited a town near chernobyl, where residents are taking measures against radiation poisoning and the thrust of another disaster at the decommissioned power plant. children opened us the a bottle of iodine. this would be natalia's 1st protective response. in case of a radioactively topic you could ask of us from boston. i want to take care of my child at that and give her a 10 drops of this. ready proport of the distance circ stuck on the big,

but i don't know how useful it is. 4th grade thought for leah's mom. natalia wasn't born when the chernobyl disaster happened in 1986, but the family trauma seats deep group, it's up to the 2nd. the was the cur, lindell. can you imagine you lock up your home and leave? if you look up your youth and leave it me, my father left everything, dan huffstutter and this is still very painful for him. well is let a bit in law's sister, her father helped with the channel bill cleanup. pretty much every one in our family has had cancer, even though they now live here. it's leveled to a town build for chang, noble survivors. the russians haven't attacked, but it's eerily quiet since the war began. nearly half of the population has left people worry about putting, turning the war nuclear here. all that would need would be a conventional strike on the nuclear plant. i can have warning i got if you can

expect anything from him, am same from his bella, rosie a neighbor, luke, ash hankle and got those. i'm afraid them go much than that. yeah, by using jan nobel where the still dangerous remains of the nuclear power plant disaster is just 50 kilometers away. this is the town of pretty piet, once they're home to channel bill workers, abandoned since 1986 and last for ever the passing decade. so radiation decrease in parts of the exclusion zone. but we're told that recently radiation now was rose again after russia and forces occupy chernobyl for a while in the early stages of this war. in fact, troops moved a tillery through highly radioactive areas, kicking up con, terminated dust. we won't stay here full. in slow voltage, they are renovating this school bunker. the mayor sands with 500 people could find shelter here from a rocket attack, but not a nuclear disaster,

which he doesn't to discuss. women, why was we shouldn't create panic among people. we must understand there would be no escape from that. we shouldn't waste our resources and emotions on it with her, and what's the sweet natalia disagrees. she would like more information from the government. how she can best protect her daughter when she should flee. yet i told them amazon zagat than from oxford. there's no information. how to protect our children on it's emoji. exhausting but then when the time comes on, we need to talk about it. it would be too late, but in both for the longer the war continues, the more dangerous it feels here. on the last reassurance, the little bottle of iodine provides. now the issue of abortion has divided the united states in recent months with several court decisions and state laws, restricting access to pregnancy termination in the state of kansas. a referendum that could have seen abortions band has failed. it was the resounding results and

the cause, the celebration, the pro choice advocates, 59 percent of voters chose to protect abortion rights in a largely conservative us state with ties to the anti abortion movement. for some the relief was palpable. you were to be from kansas and i feel like they just showed up in raleigh told me that they are going to take care of me and my female friends and everyone are going to bring in with we are protecting tonight. others saw the kansas pole as an indicator that plans to restrict access to abortion out of step with the public mood. if abortion rights are, are, are, are protected here in kansas. and again, republican leading state on i think that that indicates that there is a big did the states have. those trigger was probably are out of stuck with what their electorate watch. abortion opponents who supported the proposed amendment said they felt an obligation to protect the rights of the unborn. but when we pull

back and look at the scientific evidence of what happens in that one, not the emotion and not on the fact that i'm, i feel like i'm losing something. the people that are losing life have no voice. if people on their own, like me, don't speak for them. the strongly held views on both sides were reflected in a sometimes bitter campaign. but the decisive vote to keep abortion protections in the state constitution indicates a clear determination from kansas citizens to protect women's rights. you're up to date like the march 14th w ah i will interest the global economy our portfolio d w business beyond.
