of all of it said make fighter jets a leave. poland ability to defend itself at our correspondence, christine montoya in warsaw. that's a very good question, phil. i had a conversation with her defense analyst, and she told me about what she feared was the risk of demilitarization in europe as a result of the war in ukraine. as, as western allies, their chief among them, european countries have pledged and, and delivered more sort of heavy weaponry and at armory to ukraine that they were in effect, depleting their own stock piles. and she said, if you just point back to the nato secretary general's words last year where he said the stockpiles would take years to replenish. so there are concerns that all of these efforts are really, are leaving europe in a, in a precarious position. especially if you take into account the fact that a lot of these ministries have been undefended over the recent years. so there is

a concern on that front, but for warsaw or resources necessary must be thrown at the efforts to, to defeat russia by india crane. and to have ukraine when that war, and that is effectively the message that that poland leaders have been taking out to the easiest asia to, to fellow nato members. that everything must be done a to, to give ukraine, that victory and be also her to day from the polish president that at that nato summit, coming up in the summer that he will be taking the message that more security guarantees me to be secured for ukraine. house for after christmas, talk about her present. zalinski is a visit and a what was his message to the polish people today? what we know that his message to the polish people when he does address them in the in the coming minutes. i don't know if you can see there's a line behind me. these are people filing into the city, the center square, where they're going to be able to see a broadcast, live broadcast fi screen where president of zalinski wants to personally deliver

a message of thank you. add to the polish people who have shown solidarity with ukraine who have opened their doors at ukrainian refugees, women and children. more than a 1000000 in this country who continue to show that hospitality and of course to encourage ukrainians who have sought refuge. yeah, many of them are in the skew, and i spoke to them today and they are looking forward to hearing from their hero. right. and we were just looking, we're just looking at pictures of that square as you were talking that as quite a crowd of any signs that polish solidarity with ukraine is waving. got all that? christy still there. there were no indications of that. i, in fact, people i spoken here at to here today and showed no signs off of that sort of waning solitary that we're seeing in, in a, in other parts of europe. if anything, people are more resolute and, and to, to stand with ukraine. but there has

a now emerge a bit of a new flash point, and it pertains to the ukrainian grain that is flowing into into the european union . now i'm as a result of the war. it's now difficult for ukraine to ship. it's great to it's other market se in africa and other places because of the blockade in the black sea, a lot of due to, to what russia is doing. and so what the e, you saw to do to help the situation and create other passages, was to open up its market for ukrainian grain to flow through here and get to those other markets. but a lot of it is, is staying particularly eastern european countries. poland among them, and what that's doing is it's driving the price of grain here down. and that of course is now creating tension with the countries farmers, polish farmers have been protesting over recent weeks. and today, just today, the agricultural minister here in poland resigned at because he said the decision by the european union to extend this arrangement where ukrainian grain imports come into the european union without any import. this is the reason why he is going to

be sick. well, sir, that is the latest flash point. when president zalinski spoke with the leaders here, they said that they've come up with some solution and there will be announcing that in the coming days. thank you for that. our correspondent critique manuel in warsaw or taiwan president saying, when has met with us? how speaker kevin mccarthy? the 1st meeting of its kind in the united states for decades, the face to face outside los angeles comes on. what is technically a stop over for the president? every mcafee's position is house speaker breaks him and number 3 in the u. s. political hierarchy. make him the most senior american figure to meet a taiwanese leader on us soil since 1979. the meeting comes despite warnings from china, asia claim self rule, taiwan as its own, and resents what it sees as us meddling in its domestic affairs. wanted him to make, we urged the usaa to abide by to one china principal, not to allow the site and went to transit in the us and not to arrange meetings

between psi. and he was officials with china very closely follow the developments and defend it. some empty and added to their integrity, how we would add to trend calling to handle as take a closer look at this with our correspondence stephan silencers. in what is welcome and stephan. a walk us through the meetings or the detail of the meeting, which i believe is still going on as we speak. this is going on and the what the tower in these president is doing is meeting a group of 12 plus legislators, house legislators, including the top representatives of the republican party and the recorded party of the committee who is dealing with chinese affairs. now, watch test free looted this to preclude this meeting. today was a meeting in new york wade show the terminus president a made public just recently. there she met with 3 senators to republican senators

and one democratic senator on the site lines and more or less in secret. now, what is all this about? this is about possible you as legislation, which prepares for the case that china will, is invading at some point taiwan. what will be the us position in terms of sanctions if this occurs, this is what the taiwanese president and mr. mccarthy. speaker of the house as well . as those of the law makers are discussing with her. right. so at the, the china obviously upset about this meeting. how does today's visit compare with vassar, kevin mccarthy's predecessor speaker to taiwan last august. yeah, it's definitely noteworthy that this is happening in the chinese, as you pointed out, are absolutely not happy secretary or state blinking appeal to the chinese not to overreact and he does this so because we all remember what the visit of then house

speaker nancy pelosi did in taipei, the chinese were really upset about this and regard this as enough all towards them, followed by massive military exercises and show off the power basically. now the u. s. is appealing to china to keep this all civil. it is not at the same level as former speaker nancy pelosi visiting in taipei. it is basically or sole there such as a, you know, kind of mid level consultation. we'll see how the chinese will react though. ok, so of relations between china and that the u. s, obviously at a low anyway. is this likely to take it even though or is it just business as usual? i'm not really sure if there's any possible further downturn possible at these diplomatically. i mean, you're absolutely right. the relationships are at an all time low. so to speak,

at least in current history, between china and the us, it, will this have an impact a significant impact further down the line? no, i don't think so. i think everybody makes mistakes clear here. the u. s. is saying, look, we're sticking with taiwan. 23000000 people in taiwan, whoever. right? and who see this as a legitimate or the government? the taiwanese government, the u. s. is one of 13 countries who is support that is supporting this claim. the chinese are totally opposed to this and claiming they this taiwan is part of china and they will get back integrated back into china. this is where we are at times are not really good between china and the us. and this will not add significantly to this bad relationship. wanted already is that once i was in washington, thank you. look at the most doors making a news around the world. french present. emmanuel macro has said that europe must
