believe our bond is stronger now than at any time a point in my life. and of course, president sigh is a great champion of that bond. taiwan is a successful democracy, thriving economy, and a global leader in health and science. and whether it's our deep commercial ties, strong people to people, relationships or shared values or cooperation with the people of taiwan, continue to expand through dialogue and exchange. the friendship between the people of taiwan and america as a matter of profound importance to the free world. and it is critical to maintain even make freedom piece and regional stability. we will honor our obligations and reiterate our commitment to our shared values behind which all

americans are united. today was a bipartisan meeting. republicans and democrats, united together in a place that symbolizes the freedom and the commitment and the bon, that's only become stronger with the president with us today presents. i think, at my coffee france, i am delighted to visit the ronald reagan presidential library. once again. this time was figured mccarthy had distinguished members of the congress. i want to thank speaker mccarthy for his one hospitality and for his invitation to bipartisan congressional leaders who have taken time out of their busy schedules to join us today. they present an unwavering support.

reassuring the people of taiwan that we are not isolated and we are not in the it is especially for us to meet chair, to pay tribute to a distinguished american president. and we'll leave a man who also plays a crucial role in partnership with the u. s. congress in protecting and fortifying us ty, when we'd a at a time of changing diplomatic realities. present reagan 6 assurances of 1982 on top of the landmark tie. one relationship pass by the congress lay the foundation for a strong and unique partnership of over 4 decades,

during which we have maintained peace and promote prosperity and will come the evans of tie once democracy. however, it is no secret that today the peace that we have maintained and the democracy which have worked hard to build up facing. i'm president, challenges we once again my ourselves in the world where democracy is under andy, urgency of keeping the beacon of freedom shining cannot be on the state prison rent. president reagan said it best freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. it must be fought for and

defended constantly by each generation in a discussion with congressional leaders this morning, i re iterate to tie one just commitment to defending the peaceful status quo, where the people of taiwan may continue to try in a free and open society. i also highlighted a b, b, which president reagan champions. that to preserve peace, we must be strong. i would like to add that with shonda when we are together for this. i also expressed our interest gratitude and be happy to taiwanese people to members of the congress on those. i'll on both sides of dial in number of initiatives for i have how

to make tie one, and i'll punish it. strong, specifically, initiative in the realm of enhancing time when self defense capabilities fostering robust trade and economic ties between us and supporting tie when is meaningful. participation in the international community have always have to say, got all shared interest in peace and prosperity across the, in the pacific, taiwan strives to be reliable upon to the wow at cornerstone for stability integration. and the force, good day is saying in the confusion era, that is one who is virtuous, would not stand alone in our efforts to protect our way of life.

is grateful to have even as states of america outside. as we confronted the unique challenges of our time, let us be mindful of the principles that have forged weight partnerships and bear in mind the lessons present. regan's enduring legacy. once again, thank you. speak, mcafee for you, a one and for your friendship. thank you to o friends in congress for sending my wife. thank you. and stefan simons is still with us as stefan. if we can bring him up. exactly. there he is. so the speaker of the house, kevin mccarthy,

they're saying that the bond between the u. s. and taiwan is stronger than at any time during his life time, taiwanese president, sighing when thanking the u. s. for its support, that she says makes her people see that they are not alone. what's your biggest take away? what did we learn in this press conference? dies sewage, leah, that ties between the u. s. and time one are stronger they can get and that is of course, because the other relationships between the us and china are on a further returning down spill. it's, it's the worst ever in a recent history, at least that's what many many experts say from the view of the taiwanese president . of course, this is a critical, a crucial visit because it comes at a critical time where even relationships and tensions between taiwan on china are not really great. they are really, really bad actually. and so therefore, her aim to show that, as she said, taiwanese people 23000000 people are not isolated and that taiwan is not

a long time on accounts for about 13 nations around the world to half recognize the time when he's government as legitimate the united states is one of them. everybody else is fruitless. basically, taiwan is frozen out on the international diplomatic market by china. therefore, she made a point to be stronger together. and that means militarily, taiwan is dependent on u. s. military commitment or help and or help as well as and now we're talking money and follow the money. semiconductors. taiwan is a powerhouse in terms of semiconductors and everybody wants though. so it can clear that she was very appreciative off having the u. s. being in her in tie wants corner, so very strongly at the moment. different simons in washington. thank you so much. and we can dig deeper in now and for this i can welcome tim luly, he's in china expert with bad german council on foreign relations. welcome to the w

. now when former you as how speaker nancy pelosi was in taiwan last year, china reacted by launching its largest ever military exercise in waters around taiwan to expect to see a similar reaction this time around. well, 1st of all, thank you so much for having me. well, i don't expect that the same degree of attorney's reaction on 3 twin tuned in a way, i think also the spark bent on mr. sy has come to the united states this time on the stop over and not the speaker mac coffee. visiting taiwan is sort of already seen at some full mouth, although concession to the chinese. so i'd expect the chinese to make a couple of 12 statements boards, we already see a couple of movements, maritime movements around or one from rang his ships. oh, but i would not expect a similar scale response as we've seen when speaker pelosi visiting,

talking about tough statements here as china's foreign ministry spokesperson, reacting to the taiwanese presidents trip to the u. s. women who me, we are just the us to abide by to one china principal. we not to allow a sy, england to transit in the us and not to arrange meetings between thigh any with official quine. china closely followed the developments and defend itself empty entity today. integrity, how we would have to train, willing to linked with our really china, they're demanding. the u. s. a. bind by the one china principal, that's beijing's perception that taiwan is an inalienable part of china. but the cornerstone of you is china relations is the one china policy. could you briefly explain the difference on this one trend of principle that china really pushes here leads absolutely no room for a corporation between democratic taiwan and other countries. because it really

insists on chinese full sovereignty. and that whatever matter, a foreign government wants to discuss with regard to time one needs to be discussed, be genius, the soul, legal representative, legitimate representative of one china, including taiwan. while the one china policy just sort of, except that the general fact sort of that there's one china, but the one china policy is much more room. it is sort of much more and big west. it does include the possibility of a number of somewhat sort of lower level of contacts between taiwan, the democratic government. they are in the united states. and that is sort of the deep friction here between china and the united states, but also a number of european allies of the united states at all. so i claim the one china policy instead of the one china principal. why do you think mccarthy is meeting towns president now with the message he might be sending to beijing their well,

it has to do in part olds with domestic politics in the united states. there's hardly any bi partisan issue in washington left, but being tough when china is certainly one of them and his predecessor, a speaker, petosi, has visited taiwan and has sent a very strong and tough message to bade jane. she has also sent a very clear message to the domestic audience that a t, as one of the leads democrats is really standing close with taiwan and i think became a coffee ones too. so to repeat this very strong signal asked taiwan is not just a very important domestic issue within the united states, but he is old. so the most importance ah, by, in terms of technology, in terms of sort of the overarching rivalry between the united states and the people's republic of finance. tim lewis with the german council on foreign

relations. thank you so much for giving us your take on sighing. when's visit to california where she met? speaker of the house. kevin mccarthy. thank you so much. ukraine's president voluntary zalinski has been to the polish capital warsaw on a rare foreign trip. poland is a one of ukraine staunchest allies in the war with russia. the polish president on j duda promised to send keith more make fighter aircraft and to push for ukraine to join nato. lou standing shoulder to shoulder greene's president on a visit to one of his country staunchest allies. fuller, demure zalinski was awarded bolan's highest order. the order of the white eagle, he lito leader, read the doom of the unknown soldier in warsaw. his gestures

as for chess, but crucially for you, korean borland offered to seek more needle security guarantees for keep at an upcoming summit. should lawrence yet i am firmly convinced that we will succeed in obtaining such guarantees for ukraine. wps as an introduction to ukraine's future membership and nettle. so you saw which poland strongly supports him fall, cries k. got more. so is also the 1st need to member deuce and fighter jets to ukraine at 30 meggy for make 20 nines are being delivered because if on at that, which brings a total to 8 volition, regretting nines delivered to ukraine. yesterday we got of the movie and shelton panel for today. i don't president zalinski that we are ready to deliver another 6 which are undergoing maintenance soft to go to one of them's lacresha. she bench sounds as if to shipping in the future. we will be able to deliver the rest of our mac, wendy 9 star lead to ukraine, just as if it still needed already. been just a backup server. he'd keep out of net m a. d zalinski pang his horse and said he wanted poland as one of the main nations falling in helping rebuild ukraine versus

level of wood in stadium calmness. an important point in our relations is the reconstruction of ukraine. it's a decent on it will bring closer. my la, our businesses, our nations. let us do so. it is important for us that poland would be one of the main partners in the reconstruction of ukraine. it will do great. it's a rare trip abroad during wartime, for zelinski, ashore of tanks for poland. support for keith. holland has taken more than a 1000000 refugees. many of whom gathered outside the presidential palace where the 2 leaders were meeting and for the bigger picture. let's bring in my tie yourself sketch she. org as a program manager for the german marshall fund in worth are welcome at where does the polish ukrainian relationship stand after this visit from the kreme has them? i think this visit has definitely strengthened poland of polish ukrainian ties.

pose ukrainian ties have definitely deepened since the start of the full scale invasion due to the fact that the response from the polish side was bottom off. it was extremely strong. and this has had an incredible impact and sped up the, the relationship which historically, really had a couple of rough patches to, to really say the least. so this visit was extremely moving. and it was a, another step towards the strengthening of relationship, which still has a lot of things to work over to smooth over. but it is stronger than it ever has been in the past. and kanza lincoln, the people of ukraine, really bay shore of poland, full support for as long as it may take. well, that is the stance that is shared not only by poland, but of course, the united states. it what it's what president biden said when he came to poland

twice now within 12 months. and it is currently the official stance of the a western alliance that supporting ukraine. i do believe that poland here is even even a bigger supporter of ukraine compared to, to, to what could potentially happen in the future with a changing of presidency with election coming up in the united states of poland. has, as you said in the report, it is the staunchest ally and of ukraine is guaranteeing poland. right now it's security of it is it's security umbrella from a russian invasion that could potentially spread beyond its borders. so it is in poland, full interest to try to provide more military support and to get other allies on board to back ukraine because it is guaranteeing poland security right now. and in

light of that, i want to ask you about this new pledge. poland is indicating that it wants to give away all of its make jets. the. where does that leave the country's defense? are they really going to leave it all in the hands of ukraine? well, poland has sped up amid modernization of its army. of there have been a several purchases from the united states and from south korea. and it is has pledged to spend as much as 4 percent of its g d p. m on defense spending that is the highest level in nato. so these mig fighter jets and i believe that there will be 14 altogether that will be transferred to ukraine will be repaid, will be replaced by a newer fleet of, of jess, of the f sixteens that holland has as purchase in the a 30 five's martinez africa from the german marshall fund. unwashed. ha, thank you so much for your analysis. this is really prime minister benjamin

netanyahu says he's working to calm the situation following vile and clashes at the alex, um mosque in jerusalem. pensions between israelis and palestinians of escalated over clash as inside the mosque. authority say they were forced to enter the building, one of is lambs, holiest sites, to remove people, they describe as rioters. the incident has sparked anger across the middle east. alice of the palestinians accused israel of using excessive force against worshippers. an adoption of violence in the heart of one of jerusalem's, holiest sites is ready. police say the clashes broke out when they were forced to enter the alex. i mosque, where masked youths had barricaded themselves inside, armed with fireworks sticks and stones. dis, footage provided by the israeli police appeals to show people setting off firecrackers. the palestinian red crescent sees at least 12 worshippers were

could tries to harm us. hans, and there will be a heavy price that will make them regret any threats against israeli citizens or ideas. troops, robbers like up. we all enjoy happy and peaceful passover hovers, the columbia hog samelle, michigan, comma general mean by palestinian militant islamic group, hamas warned israel of repercussions. alma gama y resistance sent its message in gun powder by responding to the aggression what it's a clear message to the occupation them a lot. if this aggression continues, there will be a large open ended law with the zionist occupation. the international community has expressed his concern and called for calm, but for now millions are left, fearing there will be no peace this holy season. ah dw jerusalem corresponded honey. a cramer told us how the violence at the mosque spilled over into garza in

the west bank. ah, especially are from garza overnight and a reaction to to that are there where some of barrages of rockets being fired by militant groups, some garza to, with southern communities. i am in the south of israel, around the gaza strip, or at least 10 of those rockets have been fired there. and some of them are landing in the open field. some have been intercepted or by the are and dome a defense system, according to the israeli army. now hamas, or just ruling of the gaza strip, has called for more protests and demonstrations. but we also understand you from reports in the media that are, you know, it also seems that neither side really wants to see an escalation at this point in time right now. but again, it all depends what is happening here in the old city in jerusalem. as tanya cramer reporting from jerusalem and that is all from us,
