encroaching on the air space. what, what info like our government is even more resolute to safeguard the sovereignty and territorial integrity of our nation. in light of the current situation, our government will not only actively strengthen its self defense capabilities, but will also maintain close ties with like minded countries. like the united states, what the issue has dominated a meeting of the association of southeast asian nations in cambodia, capital non pen with china and the united states joining the summit in his opening remarks, china's foreign minister emphasized the political and security ties between china and assy. on countries ruler, we have guarded the peace facing the turbulence of the national security, but 2 sides of strength and strategic communication jointly tackled the challenges of various spillover effects and jointly maintained the uneasily achieved stability in the region. aussie on is positioning itself as

tie pe. this has caused panic in taiwan. however, the islands, the fans, ministry declined to confirm if the, if the miss ost it over fly taipei, it only southern us damon, late at night that i missed those flight path, had been outside the atmosphere, which posed no threat to their ground area. saw some military experts in taiwan that the over fly has no direct impact on taiwan safety. and it's just part of china, china psychological warfare. that's a huge debate in taiwan right now on whether the authorities shoot release the specifics of the misses flight parks. and we also know that at some airlines have canceled flights to taipei, how much is this disrupt to travel around north and southeast asia? yeah, according to the also show website or an international airport in taiwan as of 9 am local time 18 flights were can. so,

and full flights or rescheduled due to the military jose that includes carriers of korean air, singapore, airlines and malaysian malaysia allies for those that did not can. so they have to fly alternative routes, fire japan and the philippines. and that could lead to more flying time for some flights. and how was businesses dealing with the impacts of the stalled trade imports and exports? well that there is no immediate indication of the possible impact on shipping. taiwanese companies out preparing for possible trade disruptions beyond the ford adrian was they are starting to think off solutions, rerouting and delaying orders until they have more clarity. and keep in mind that taiwan produces more than half the semiconductor trips used in smartphones, computers, and cost. so any significant disruption would create shock waves to global

industries. it's a d, w 's joyce lee in taipei. thank you, joyce. now to the latest on the war in ukraine. russian forces are attacking ukrainian positions on the front lines in the east and done yet. region. ukrainian general admits his troops are being pushed back. civilians also being forced to leave their homes as constant shelling makes life impossible. a train station in donetta evacuating the old and the young pul, exhausted westwood. ordinary ukrainians caught up in fierce fighting and forced to leave their homes with whatever they can carry. hello, miss, but is it ya? village has been ruined me. the one we have no where to live fuel? no, there's no gas, no water,

you know electricity is you. but we were sitting in the basement for a month in the army bought us here and i believe was nothing. the government has ordered civilians to lead combat zones in done at school, but the danger may not be just from russian attacks. amnesty international accuses ukraine of basic troops and populated areas, putting civilians at risk and violating the laws of war. keith was furious. it shook to if someone prepares, the report in which the victim and the aggressor are allegedly the same in some way . if information about the victim is analyzed, while something the aggressor does is ignored, this cannot be tolerated in wage. ah ukrainian soldiers face a grinding battle to keep the remaining regions of eastern dumbass out of russian control for another. and to avoid shelling. similar to,

to let us move the skeleton to set that as if the service got the x to the wrong. we sit in the trenches that the enemy shelves, us and we can't even stick our heads out of it. now there are no small arms fights as they used to be. today. it is an artillery battle evil as he just jump into the trench and wait for the strike. away from the front lines, the evacuation of civilians from done as continues. the question is whether that will be enough to keep them safe. a russian cortez sentenced us possible star brittany greiner to 9 years in prison for drug possession and smuggling. she was convicted of carrying cannabis oil into russia. the white house, as greiner was wrongfully detained and is calling for her release. brittany griner entered the cramped court room and defendant so hoping the sentencing judge

would be lenient that the judge would consider that greiner admitted her mistake, but had accidentally packed cannabis oil prescribed by her doctor and legal in the us. yahoo! i never miss her even to put in jeopardy ref population. i never miss right. any law made an honest mistake. i hope that in your ruin and in my life, griner was stopped in mid february after putting her bag through screening and moscow. airport customs officials searched her bags and she was eventually detained . she was on her way to join the russian club. she played for after the w n. b. a season in the united states. griner is considered one of the top basketball talents in the world. her $206.00 centimeter stature, 6 foot 9 inches, helps her dominate pro basketball and she's helped when to olympic gold medals for

the us in court, she held up a picture of her team in russia after several teammates had served as character witnesses for her. but she knows russia and the us are now on opposite sides of a global conflict. i know everybody who's talking about political pawn and politics, but i hope that that is far from the courtroom. in a quick decision, the court showed it was unmoved by grinders call for leniency. she was sentenced to 9 years, one less than the 10 year maximum. without disappointment. you know, one way it's so great name. i think it was tuesday, anamosa elemental to see on thursday and she said see on doomsday. so looks like she was right. lemme as she was led away words of love for her family, but her future may well rest with diplomats for 2 countries barely speaking to each other. l at the u. s. government is calling for

britney, grind his release, and one possible, as he is a prisoner swap, the americans are offering victor boot an infamous fashion honesty that in exchange for greiner, she, w constantine again, says the swap could happen. well, i think the deal is on the table and i think that mister putin wants basically, um, to get the maximum off of for this exchange. boot is a russian pilot who's been accused and sentenced in the us for basically illegal arms rate of some journals. some old colleagues called him merchant of death, and he's been in u. s. jail for quite a long time. and his become a cause celebrity, a famous case in russia, portrayed in the russian state media as an innocent victim of american imperialism of a kind of the u. s. trying to punish russia. and i think the breathing griner is going

eventually to be exchanged because frankly speaking, such circumstances keeping a basketball stall in russian jail is not something that a put in probably would won't end. i suppose that what he does want is to show that he had a victory. she brought back a russian citizen. he brought back victor boot. oh, our 10 luck. as i trapped on the ground in a collapsed cold mind in mexico, they broke through a tunnel wall which triggered flooding. 5 other miners escaped authorities. i tried to make contact with the men. ah, solias, emergency workers and rescue dogs are racing to rescue the crew trapped on the ground before it's too late in the morning. but no one can go inside the mine we have to pump out all the water before the rescue. us can get our colleagues out live relatives can only wait for news even though they look for in the ghetto.
