why are they so invisible to the larger public? ah, we decided to ask them. what is the poetry the secret of the house? about their struggles and dreams. responsibility is huge. they have so much to lose . shattering the glass ceiling women in architecture. this has to be really, really good. starts april 20th on d. w. visited avenues aisha coming up to date, chinese warships deploy in the taiwan straits. it's b james response to a meeting between taiwan president sighing went and you as how speaker kevin mccarthy. it's a meeting, beijing didn't want to take place, but now that it has, how far will beijing go with a response and focused on economic crisis turned deadly as people are forced

to fight for food handouts? ah, by british manager you welcome to the dublin years, asia, glad you could join us. china is deploying patrol chips in the taiwan straits, oz after the meeting between taiwan president, sighing when and us house speaker kevin mccarthy begging calling it a 3 day special joint patrol and inspection operation. now it involves multiple vessels led by the hi, sean 6. that's what you see, barony screens. the aim is to extensively patrol and secure that navigation embodiment. in the taiwan straits, china's food jan. matty time, safety administration, also announced on social media that the operation would involve boarding ships to inspect them. and a taiwan official categorically refused to accept such actions warning of

a response to your law. ty, ones maritime port bureau says if china's coast guard requests to board our vessels for inspection, they should refuse and notify us. we will take action. so this doesn't become a new norm at the same time time one was also monitoring the chinese aircraft, carrier son, dung that sent out into the south, tennessee near taiwan for the 1st time. so i want the defense minister called the timing of the deployment, tentative that china will respond isn't totally unexpected though. type a was an ease watching out for what beijing does in the coming days. but on thursday morning itself, the foreign ministry in beijing have this to say meet hey jump, we'll go with the u. s. and taiwan have colluded with each other to enable independent separatists to undertake political activities in the u. s. and carry out official exchanges between the u. s. and taiwan, improving us taiwan relations under the pretext of transit. this violates the one

china principal. and the 3 china us joint communicate violates china sovereignty and territorial integrity and sent the wrong signals from china will take firm measures to safeguard its sovereignty and territorial integrity. when beijing say a steady total integrity, it includes taiwan. as part of that, that a tree. it doesn't recognize the island of the self governing entity and has left the option open to re unify with it with force if needed. which is why the meeting between sign when and us house speaker, kevin mccarthy. the 2nd in line to the us presidency assumes so much significance. it was historic for another reason as well. the 1st such meeting on us soil $279.00 . but yeah, when washington switched diplomatic recognition from type pay to beijing, saying when was on her way back from central america when she made this strategic stop over in california, she was welcomed by us half because kevin mccarthy,

despite china's explicit warning that the meeting should not take place, but the peer use, the talks to present a united front against patients, increasingly aggressive military posturing. the friendship between the people of taiwan and america as a matter of profound importance to the free world. that it is critical to maintain good comic freedom piece. and regional stability. they also discussed speeding up arms deliveries from the u. s. to taiwan and highlighted the threats the island faces their prisons and unwavering support. reassure the people of taiwan that we are not isolated as we are not. 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, it challenges china's foreign ministry was quick to condemn the meeting thing. washington had crossed a line and acted provocatively, relation worn for us not to go further down. quote, the wrong path ah, focused on economic crisis is hitting its borders hardest. in freshman is out of 50 or higher and food has become on affordable for millions. but impact is proving deadly abandoned absolute despair. this father is grieving the death of a 7 year old boy. just days ago, he was killed in a crash. the boy was among the women and children quite gathered at the factory in karachi to collect donations of money in food. at least 11 people died. well, that will live alone. there were no rules at the factory and my son got trampled

there. i'm totally devastated. there are other people like me whose children were killed, women who had nothing to eat when they're going to count the government, see that people are dying of hunger. if you go to la la your one minute on the other, there have been other deadly treasures to ever since the holy month of ramadan begin a dime. when business owners often give out donations, especially to the poor, coming this year, demand has been overwhelming. people stealing flour in broad daylight has also become a common sight. at this distribution center, police fight weapons in the air to disperse people who had got there to collect free flour. pakistan is going through its worst economic graces in years with inflation climbing to more than 30 percent last year. devastating floods which destroyed many crops have both and the current

economic turmoil, food prices are surging. and so it's power t a number of people needing aid has increased. the conditions people are living in especially the working class is not as it's been before. they used to spend 50 percent of beerin come on food, but now they have to spend 70 to 80 percent of been gone, us citizen who now unrest an uncertainty at for me to pick challenges for the country around 220000000 people. many of whom are fighting for survival gentlemen, i understood you for more context is the double report, abuse, drug or british. welcome to we know how many people in boxes are currently food insecure. it is 35000000 people in pakistan. it is almost half the population of talents of dis, number of people in pakistan are fought in figure,

which means they're not getting nutritious meals every day. and the un faith out of this, almost 8000000 in pakistan. 5th, emergency levels of food insecurity. but many economists believe that the current for crisis, if pushing many more into poverty and the thing that we have seen and that a board at the distribution center. it shows that people are risking their lives just to get some flavor for their families. and most of the people were lining up for hours. i'd women and most of the people who have been killed and injured in crushes in these crushes, i women because women are seeing their children go hungry and they won't risk anything. they can just to feed their children. so i think the situation is really dire. so in many ways you seems, if you're seeing in the distributions, i've does across artist, on articulate really the economic crisis that has grouped the country. i think the scenes at these distribution centers have exposed the levels of our work in august on biker fan of going through its worst economic growth,

as in the us back if and doesn't have enough money to pay for vital inputs. which means the industrial are being impacted. so we see an text i factory of are being shut down more by assembling factories are being closed and they're fighting people . and the people that within this distribution center, they were not the most borders or the most vulnerable people. they were me perfect to workers to belong to me below middle class of pakistan. but because now they have lost their jobs. they do not have any other source of income, they would already hand them out, they didn't have any savings. so now they have suddenly become poor and they have no option but to stand in line for hours, just to get some food for their family crisis that's pushing people into poverty. but in addition to this be news, people's monthly budgets have also been here. turbo. yeah, so i'll give an example just in march and the prices were up 35 percent as compared to last year. so it means the prices of beer thick

a food items such as flour were raised lentils. it has gone thought up that now people are forced to spend most of their in gun on food and they have to go down very expensive. drastically are, for instance, i know that our families will have pulled out their children from school or that won't wear it, trying to admit their children to school, to a closer to their home. so they can. and 5th transportation cost in some families and they have maybe taken one child out of school. so they're just letting maybe one j go to school or they're making deficient, such as selling their guys and buying motor bikes because the expense of food and groceries has gone so up, they are forced to reduce that expenses. so bitter gresham, what is the government doing about all this that i think the government has completely clueless on how to resolve this economic crisis. and often they make the situation worse. for instance, the flea flowers scheme, if it's a floor plan because our given already has systems in place that the government

could have used to teach them was vulnerable and don't be at or, or the government could have used this to live donations in a more respectful way august and also has a vast network of injures that could have been used to deliver our flowers. so i think the government and some critic fair the government tried to use to scheme or to gain political advantage. but i think that there was so much about breast because of deaths and injuries and in the crushes that i think they probably will not get any political advantage out of the situation. and you call the government unity dot. but political advances, the government itself is in crisis because if there is a political crisis as well as grouping marcus. yeah, marcus alice watts are going through our political crisis since august, and our former prime minister, him non hon, was ousted. he has been demanding our elections. the government is not accepting their demand that is still made. it seems like boys are,

these are fighting due again, political power. so they're fighting for their own interests and gains. and they have brought their battles to the streets and to the courts. and in all of that, girls are they have forgotten that people of pakistan are suffering, they're dying of hunger, they're dying in these crushes waiting in lines just to get some food for their families. do you see things good in british i'm in the shorter and i think the only hope was ah, the launch payment of i m f a buck is on has been negotiating with. i am if to get this a payment of $1100000000.00, but so far it has not been able to fulfill all the requirements and conditions of the i m. as in the short run. this would be a solution. if a box on is able to get this along beam, which is a part of the 6.5 begin loan program, but in the long run, i think because on has to or what hot it system it has to in west, ah, it may be,

it's in its young people in increasing their capacity in losing their education, it has to improve the education institute of the country has to develop, invest in short and medium enterprises, which are the backbone of economy. and it has to pick up, for instance, also may become less dependent on imported fuel. so it has to make a big decisions. don't make the a, got it not mixed off the country better. these really with that, thanks so much for coming in. you back that is it's very well with you to morrow. i sometimes a seed is all you need to allow the big ideas to grow. we're bringing environmental conservation to life with learning paths like global ideas. we will show you how climate change and environmental conservation is taking shape around the world
