high ranking visit prompts fury from china, which responds with military drills, also coming up inspection complete a ship carrying ukrainian grain is back on the way up to passing checks and turkey under a deal with russia to restart exports that ukraine's president says one bethel is not enough and weeks after a deadly crackdown on europe, florida with africa migrants accused spanish police illegally forcing them back into more detail. you meet those who say they will be 70 and denied the chance to claim the final. ah, i manuscripts mckennan. thank so much for joining us. u. s. house speaker. nancy pelosi has used her visits taiwan to deliver a statement of solidarity. she said that her country would do whatever it takes to

boost ty, one's ability to defend itself. pelosi departed from the capital tie pay a short while ago she spent less than a day on the self governing island during which she met with the president and addressed parliament. although she was not there. as an official representative apaloosa, he visited to spite stark warnings from china, which responded by boosting its military drills in the seas around taiwan. a trip that has set the region on edge the speaker of the us house of representatives, nancy pelosi arrives in taiwan, making her the highest level american official to visit the island in 25 years. pelosi stop over was kept deliberately ambiguous, amid stock warnings from china, and the threat of a military response. despite reservations in the biden administration, the white house insisted that pelosi had a right to choose whether to visit and choose. she did to day

a delegation of the time, very crowd came to taiwan to make unequivocally clear, will not abandon our commitment to taiwan. and we are proud of our enduring friendship. today the world safe is the choice between democracy and autocracy. americans determination to preserve democracy here in taiwan and around the world. renay iron clad, beijing's response was furious. pollution a sort what pillows he has done this by no means a defense or protection of democracy, but a provocation and violation of china sovereignty and territorial integrity. it seems that china has vowed punishment under the one china principal, beijing views the self governing island as a break away province and has not ruled out re unification by force. it has announced a series of live fire military exercises surrounding the island,

which taiwan warns will amount to an air and sea blockade. but despite china's threats tie once president, sighing ben was resolute mandates, as she can facing deliberately heightened military thread. what i want will not back down, we will firmly uphold our national sovereignty and continue to hold the line of defense for democracy. on the ground in the capital, taipei opinions were divided. some feared retaliation from china. the other way after pillows, his visit. what i want is not targeted. i think she's making trouble for us. of course i am worried about military confrontation. while others were less concerned. hello. yes, yes, i used to china threats. i feel numb. i don't feel particularly nervous, but i think that the media is exaggerating the matter. get your thoughts with taiwan now effectively surrounded by chinese military fears of a new crisis in the taiwan straits,

arising all eyes and now on beijing monica will bug is head of the stuck home china form with the german marshal fund. and i also earlier to explain what it is about this visit that has made china so angry. but of course you can argue that she's the 1st speaker of the house to visit since 1990 son. however, i think one of the main reasons why reaction is so strong is that the chinese communist party has 2040 congress coming up this wall resume or b or a, you know, stay in power. and this is kind of a point in time where he also wants to show strengths and that he is on charge and that of china says visit. then he does so in many, many ways the display of power ahead of us, very important party congress. thinking about all of this from ty,

one's perspective, and i want benefited in any way from pillow seeds visit. i think a lot of people in time one tend to think, so i'm like the debate over here we're. it's been very much focused on that chinese talking point and the rest, i think with a bait and i went up quite different and more off of them. but i do think there is 11 concrete advantage for high want, and that of that, you know, the here he's been trying to international sage. and one of the way in which i want to try to count by visit, you know, high ranking wall where that you know, parliamentarian and i think having that i think from the perspective probably just going to be helpful and getting others to also taiwan and acknowledge that it is a fact, you know,

it is independent of the earth until people to come to visit. we have already seen chinese military exercises around the island that has been some economic missions already against taiwan. should taiwan now fear, furthermore, extreme repercussions. i think it's pretty clear the peers he has made pretty clear that they're gonna bring out their, their full course of toolkit against taiwan if use parts of it against other countries, including in europe. so yes, i do think they're going to apply more economic sanctions. we've already seen some sanctions against organizations, certain counties, businesses and branches excluded from doing business on the mainland. i do think they're going to bring out more. but one of the important things to understand is this is kind of a tool that appears he has, has had for a while and has been planning to use for

a while. so this is more of an opportunity for the peers to use it, but that doesn't mean that they wouldn't have done it at a later point in time using a different excuse. because the goal is to put maximum pressure on taiwan over the next couple of years. so taking this one step further, would the west ever risk going to war if a taiwan oh that's, that's a question where i'm, if you, if you look at, for instance, that the u. s. position. the united states has maintained a strategic ambiguity where basically the ad, yes, we are the u. s. neither size. we're gonna definitely come out and defend taiwan and case of appeared c invasion, but they also don't say we're not going to and the hope that the strategic ambiguity is gonna be enough to deter, to deter and attack from the p r c on taiwan. everything else is basically trying

to look into a crystal ball. suddenly a situation will be watching very closely and that i could orbit from the german national fun. thank you so much. thanks for having me. now the 1st ship to exports grain from ukraine port since the russian invasion has been cleared to continue on its journey. after passing inspections the ship cooled, the rezone was inspected today while anchored in turkish waters. its cargo was scrutinized by monitors from the un, from ukraine, from turkey and russia, which demanded inspections to ensure that the ship was not carrying arms of the rezone deposit. odessa, in ukraine on monday, carrying 26000 tons of corn. it has now passed through the both frustrate and is on its way to its final destination tripoli in lebanon. earlier i spoke to d w 's door in jones in danville,

and i asked him for more on the ship's inspection and its current progress. yes, well it all went remarkably smoothly. the inspection team made up of turkish ukrainian or russian and un officials went bold ravone. they especially last for about a one, maybe 2 hours. it all went very much according to plan. and that is really, really important for this agreement, because the fact is that they need to export in the next a 120 days before the agreement is renewed around 20000000 tons of trap ukrainian grain. so we are talking about literally hundreds of ships and all of the ship these the beans before they go to ukraine and then when they come out to view, this is an arduous, massive bridges sticks pop up. today, at least it all went very smoothly. as we speak, the robot is now reading its way down the sample ball and onto the mom receipt of climbing and then on to the left. but the delivery should be needed. now turkey is sounding very base about this. it saying that 3 more ships may soon be leaving the

ports of desa. how confident can we be that things will continue to, to, to move so smoothly, smoothly. well, i think the turkey and everyone else him really want to make them most optimistic sounds as possible for the draft to realize during a month and negotiations to people expect this field to actually work for us to actually be here with ships being shipped out of wolves own through black feeds, world markets, and i think turkey basically recognize that the key for this operation to be successful is momentum. they want to build up a speed of hundreds of thousands of cone beam deliver them grain deliver it to well markets which they start to bring down the soaring go to practice. and that will make it that much more difficult. but any of the policies in both the possibly pull out, given the potential world reaction to the, the theories they want to get these ships moving as soon as possible. i've been talking about 3 ships now by the ultimate little now. hopefully,

345 ship date moving through a stumble and down the balls for us and vice versa, phone back to wall to crank. this is a major operation. and the key, what everyone's talking about is building up a mental feel. turkey was obviously central to making this deal happen and now to make sure that things continue. 6 working the president retro type at a one will be meeting. president, thrushes, president person later this week. any ideas? what might be on the agenda? while it's going to be packed agenda, you have to realize that these 2 countries have mutual as well as a conflicting interest was going from north africa, mid least in focus is the old and and also they have a major u. m g partnership as well. but this food agreement is seen as a key part of those talks for president one. this is vital to him in business indicating his role of maintaining close ties, which is washing counterpart vladimir putin. this is the 2nd meeting face to face

within a month. he has face criticism from his west and i live over those close thought. in particular, you refusal twin full sanctions against russia. he's always insisted that turkey balance approaches vital for a play this balanced approach facilitating agreements and possibly aiming to the ukrainian or russian conflict. and this grain at the deal, if it succeeds, will be seen indication of a one stance. so took up a lot of interest in that feel. work door and jones and it's tunnel. thank you. now ukrainian engineers once again in control of the turn, a bill power plant after russian forces took over the facility in the early phase of the war that was moscow's unrelenting military strikes. the threat of a leak or an explosion at the nuclear plant remains. he w funding for charl went to meet residents of the surrounding areas who are doing what they can to protect themselves against. radiation poisoning,
