home or go get the cellist. i was the only one. what lies and music in nazi germany . watch now on youtube. b, w daughter ah ah, this is g w news long from berlin, super power tensions in the spotlight. the u. s. house speaker defines warnings from china and welcomes, ty, one's president to california. the meeting highlights growing american support for the self governing island, which beijing claims as its own, also coming up ukraine's liter. thanks. poland for its support. and the war with russia polish president welcomes blow william reeves the lensky to warsaw and

promises to send ukraine more. make fighter jets and violence. israel as police enter jerusalem's, i'll ok, some mosque during the holy month of ramadan. ah, i'm nicole really tell viewers on p b s in the united states and all of you around the world. welcome to the program. hi. wants president sighing. when has met with you as hell? speaker, kevin mccarthy. the 1st meeting of this 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 kevin mccarthy's position as how speaker makes him number 3 in the u. s. political hierarchy and therefore the most senior american figure to meet a taiwanese leader on us soil since 1979. the trip comes find warnings from china.

beijing claim self role taiwan as its own and resents what it sees as us men ling in its domestic affairs. which now at the end of the talks president sigh and speaker mccarthy gave these statements toward the successful democracy, thriving the economy and a global leader in health and science. and whether it's or 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 with shonda. when we are together, taiwan strives to be a reliable partner to the well, the cornerstone, the stability in the region and the force for good now and former u. s. how speaker nancy pelosi was in taiwan last year. china reacted by launching

it's the largest ever military exercises in waters around taiwan. i asked china experts, tim gould, if we could expect a similar reaction to this visit. 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 322 in a way, i think. oh, the spark bent mrs. sy has come to the united states this time on the stop over and not the speaker or mac coffee visiting taiwan is sort of already seen at some awful, more of a 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 how one phone rang his ships. oh, but i would not expect a similar scale response as we've seen our when speaker glossy visiting,

talking about tough statements here as china's foreign ministry spokesperson, reacting to the taiwanese president trip to the u. s. women who me, we are just the u. s. to abide by to one china principal, we not to allow a sigh, england to transit in the us and not to arrange meetings between thigh. any with officials, winnie chid numbers, closely followed the developments and defend itself an empty entity today. integrity, how we would have to, can, willing to lend with are 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 u. s. 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 that's sort of except that the, 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 there 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 a 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, in part olds with domestic politics in the united states. just hardly any bi partisan issue in washington left. but being tough on trying to is certainly one of them. and his predecessor speaker, osi has visited taiwan and has been very strong in the message to bay jane. she has also sent a very, to me a message to the domestic audience that she, as one of the lead democrats really standing close with taiwan and i think speak and my coffee once to sort of repeat this very strong signal. i have taiwan is not just a very important domestic issue in the united states, but it is all of us, most important in terms of technology in terms of sort of the overarching rivalry between the united states and the people's republic of china. kimberly, with the german council on foreign relations. thank you so much for giving us your

take on sighing. when's that to california where she met the speaker of the house. kevin mccarthy. thank you so much. take a look now at some of the other stories making news around the world to day. french president, him, i knew him a call has said europe must maintain trade and diplomatic ties with china is at the start of a 3 day visit to china. we're the war in ukraine is topping the agenda. a call will meet president changing ping and is expected to try and discourage him from supporting russia. former you as president, donald trump has pleaded not guilty to criminal charges in a court in new york. he faces 34 counts of falsifying business records, linked to hush money payments that prosecutor say, he orchestrated. mister trump says the charges are baseless and part of a political campaign against him. the united nations has demanded the taliban immediately revoke its decision to bar women from working for the agencies regional

mission. galvan authorities have said women in afghanistan will no longer be allowed to work their un secretary general and tony would cherish describe the ban as an unparalleled violation of women's rights against president vladimir zalinski has been to the polish capital, warsaw on a rare foreign trip. poland is one of ukraine's 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. ah, standing shoulder to shoulder greene's president on a visit to one of his country staunchest allies followed the mere zalinski was awarded bolan's highest order. the order of the white egan. he leader leader, read the doom of the unknown soldier in warsaw. his gestures

as for just gucci for you, korean boyland offered to seek more needles at gordy, gout and useful keep at an upcoming summit, said lawrence, it would, i am firmly convinced that we will succeed in obtaining such guarantees for ukraine as well as an introduction to ukraine's future for membership in nato, which poland strongly supports him, foul cries, kegler more. so is also the 1st needle member to send fighter jets to ukraine at that image for mig 20 nines are being delivered as of on it, which brings the total to 8 polish mig 20 nines delivered to ukraine's mccovie movie. and today, i told presidents lensky that we are ready to deliver another 6, which are undergoing maintenance. he solved to go to one of them's lacresha. he bench sounds as if i think in the future we will be able to deliver the rest of our mig 29 fleet to ukraine. just figured if it as needed as early benches to back up on saba. he'd keep out of manama. i. d. zalinski packed his horse and said he

wanted poland as one of the main nations fallen in had been rebuild ukraine. virtually wimbledon stand important point in our relations is the reconstruction of ukraine. it's a g 's not it will bring our businesses closer. our nations closer, and it's important for us that poland be one of the main partners, and the reconstruction of ukraine will de ville green. it's a rare trip abroad during wartime for zelinski. a show 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 duly does. we're meeting marty has upscale works for the german marshal fund in warsaw and i asked her we're the polish ukrainian relationship now stands after the visit. i think this visit has definitely strengthened poland of polish ukrainian ties. post ukrainian ties have definitely deepened since the start of 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 cancel and can the people have ukraine really be sure 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 a to, to what could potentially happen in the future with a changing a 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. 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 in the modernization of its army. there have been several purchases from the united states and from south korea, and it is has pledged to spend as much as 4 percent of its gdp on, 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 replaced, will be replaced by a newer fleet of fi objects of the f sixteens that holland has as purchase in the at 30 five's martinez africa from the german marshall funding, warsaw. thank you so much for your analysis. during the visit to lansky told reporters the situation in the besieged,

ukrainian town of balloon is very difficult. he did not rule out withdrawing from the town to ukrainian troops. risk being surrounded by russian forces, but military analysts still expect ukraine to launch a wider spring counter offensive cave in this its goal is to regain control of all its territory. the front line near back moved in and she cranium. soldiers are dug in. it's still unclear who's in control of the city. the u. s. and other backers have advised ukraine to pull out and saying the cost is too high. both ukraine and russia have lost huge numbers of soldiers in the battle. but ukraine insists on defending the area as it prepares for a major spring counter offensive. don't gluten as a gun, it will happen. i use, we are waiting. we do not know when it will happen. that's a good question. but we will be a part of it composing please. i thought about it. synchronous was them. we're all

waiting for equipment from the west. ours is pretty old and worn out. it breaks down quickly. so we're waiting for some new equipment from our partners abroad. that equipment is arriving slowly, but surely. western tanks, including british challengers and german, made leopards have arrived in the country. there are also rumors that us and swedish built g l s. d, be guided bombs. are already in use. these munitions fired from the back of a hi maurice truck. have a range of a 150 kilometers, nearly doubled the range of the high mars rockets. ukraine now uses that when put many more russian targets, including ammunition depots in ukrainian sites. ukraine's foreign minister says foreign weaponry is critical, seriously, a lot is on the plate as usually we very much appreciate everything that the united

states have done. specifically, in the last month to help me prepare itself for the for the, for the comfort, meant by the ministration has fulfill this commitment to providing you with the loss of what, what we need and set an example to give an example to other, other allies, ukraine says its goal is deliberate, all of its territory, including the crimean peninsula in russia, hands for nearly a decade. analysts say ukraine would likely mount a major attack through the partially occupied chaper rees, a region aiming at the russian held city of the little pole. a successful push would cut through russia supply lines to its forces, further west, whatever form the counter offensive ends up taking much as at stake for ukraine. the countries western backers want to see russia defeated on the battlefield. not

another bad mote. an haunches as a former, commanding general of the us forces in europe and he outlined some of the considerations ukrainian military commanders have to take into account to pull off a successful counter offensive in spring. well, thank you. um, my sense is that ukrainian general staff has done a terrific job protecting information and conserving the forces that they're going to need when they do and never really launch this counter offensive. oh, i think the funding around buck moot. that was very costly, but it also was necessary, but the general staff could see that they were able to stop russian forces there and back moot, and to believe them out and to cause them to use a lot of resources without ukraine having to push its own armored forces into back mood, that's what they're going to need when they do launch their own counter offensive,

which i would anticipate would be on a very narrow front to achieve a decisive effect. much like the urban previous journalist just reported to, to break the land bridge between crimea and the rest of russia. crimea, is the decisive terrain. you could kill every russian soldier within 200 kilometers or back mood. and that would not change the strategic setting. but if you liberate crimea, that changes everything. so the counter offensive will be aimed towards the liberation of crimea. and then the rest of the don bess, i think that comes later. that his former commanding general and the u. s. forces in your have been hodges speaking to d to lee you a little earlier. now hear some more of today's headlines. italian media, se former prime minister silvio berlusconi is an intensive care in milan with hard problems. the 86 year old media tycoon has suffered bouts of ill health in recent

years. willis, coney leads the right wing forts i talia party, which is part of the coalition government. and a man wielding a hatchet has killed at least 4 children at a kindergarten and southern brazil. several others were seriously injured. authority say a 25 year old man scale the wall around the preschool in the city of bloomin. now, the suspect later turned himself into police. israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu says he's working to calm the situation following vile and clashes at the aisle. ok, so mosque and jerusalem. tensions between israelis and palestinians have escalated over, clashed the inside the mosque, authority say they were forced to enter the building, one of islam holiest sites to remove people. dave is crime as rioters. the incident has sparked anger across the middle east and allies of the palestinians. accused israel of using excessive force against worshippers.

ah, and the dropping 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 on mosque. where masked youths had barricaded themselves inside. armed with fireworks sticks and stones, a. this footage provided by the israeli police appeals to show people setting off firecrackers. the palestinian red crescent sees at least 12 worshippers were injured in what one eye witness described as a brutal of sold based railey forces. ah. is there, i'm not in the yard. the police were firing t guests and stun grenay. i can hardly describe it. then the police stormed in and started beating every one. they detained people and put the young men face down on the ground. and they also beat them, bonnet bad hospital and or

a brooklyn and the violence soon spread beyond jerusalem. when palestinian militants fired rockets from the gaza strip to woods israeli territory. i was later is well shot back. launching air strikes in garza very neal to them all. they wanted to be very near to along with it. any one could tries to harm us hot terminals and there will be a heavy price that will make them regret any threats against east riley citizens or idea tropes robberies like up. we all enjoy happy and peaceful passover aversion to court on we're hug sawmill. ha. russia, i mean by palestinian militant islamic group, hamas warned israel of repercussions. alma gama resistor, not sentence message in gun powder by responding to the aggression. it's

a clear message to the occupation summarize 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 feeling there will be no peace this holy season. oh, he w, jerusalem, correspond antonio kramer told us how the violence at the mosque spilled over into garza and the west bank. let's have a listen. especially are from garza overnight and a reaction to to that other where so barrages of rockets being fired by militant groups and gaza 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 r and dome defend system, according to the israeli army. now hamis, which is 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 the pens. what is happening here in the old city in jerusalem? you'll, you jerusalem, course one, antonio creamer speaking to us earlier. they're moving on february. the earthquakes kill tens of thousands of people in turkey and northwestern syria and left millions homeless. at least 5000000 people in syria. alone need accommodation, their emergency humanitarian shelters, but conditions in science can be harsh. but it's how countless families are now observing the month of ramadan. the earthquake destroyed oman dose house. she now lives in this tent, as the sun said, call to prayer approaches. the woman in her fifties prepares the meal to break the
