nancy pelosi arrives in taiwan, making her the highest level american official to visit the island in 25 years. pelosi stopover 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 our delegation, some very crowd came to taiwan to make unequivocally clear. we 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. we may, iron clad, beijing's response was furious, painless eunice,

or 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. which means 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 then was resolute mandate. so she k facing deliberately heightened military thread. what i want will not back down, we will firmly uphold our nation 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. and by the way,

after pillows, his visit, what i want is not targeted. i think she is making trouble for us. of course i am worried about military confrontation. while others were less concerned? the hotel ye? yeah. i used to china's threats. my feel numb. i don't feel particularly nervous, but i think that the media is exaggerating the matter. yet. here tell you that with taiwan now effectively surrounded by chinese military fears of a new crisis in the taiwan straits, arising all eyes and now on beijing. earlier i spoke to these other mc helicopter about mon, nancy pelosi, his visit to taiwan, and asked her why many top figures from the biden administration had urged pelosi not to go. well, there is, of course, a fear that any kind of misunderstanding or such a trip would be seen as a provocation that would married an escalation of by china. and although china has

military goods, and the capability for taiwan to be able to guarantee its own security. so and on paper, nothing new that but every formation of those old pledges the scene such a provocation. mechanic of no reporting there. now we can bring you up to speed on some other stories that he had lines around the world. the 1st a grain ship carrying grain from ukraine since the russian invasion has been cleared to continue its journey. after passing inspections in turkey, the ship was inspected by monitors from the un ukraine at turkey and russia. it is hoped, further shipments can continue to leave ukrainian ports in the black sea. 3, azerbaijan, by johnny soldiers have been killed in the disputed region of nagondo karuba after clashes with armenian armed groups. as are by, john says the groups are illegal or mania has called for
