to fight for food hand. ah, i better spend you welcome to dig up the news aisha glad you could join us. china is deploying patrol ships in the taiwan straits. oz, after the meeting between taiwan president sighing when and us house speaker kevin mccarthy, paging 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 there on the screens. the aim is to of tentatively patrol and to go the navigation environment. in the taiwan straits, china food yan maritime safety administration, also announced in 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 tie ones. maritime port bureau says if chinese 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 st 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 wholly unexpected though. type a was an ease watching out for what paging does in the coming days. but on thursday morning itself, the foreign ministry in beijing have this to say, me jump will go the u. s. and taiwan have colluded with each other to enable independent separatists to undertake political activists in the us. and carry out official exchanges between the us 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 sense the wrong signals from china will take firm measures to safeguard at sovereignty and territorial integrity. when beijing se steady total integrity, it includes taiwan as part of that territory, it doesn't recognize the island as a 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 since 1979. but yeah, when washington switched diplomatic recognition from ty 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. the person 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 work hot 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 relating morn for you is not to go further down quote, the wrong path ah, focused on the economic crisis is hitting its poorest, hardest in freshman is out of 50 or higher and food has become on affordable for millions but impact is proving deadly apparent, absolute despair. the 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 men in children. quite got that at the factory in karachi to collect a nations of money and food. at least 11 people died. we're like, little bit of a guy. 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 gonna eat, can't the government see that people are dying of hunger? that wouldn't go with the la la. you're what linda then yellow. there have been other deadly treasures to ever since that will the month of ramadan begin a dime when business owners often give out donations, especially to the poor, come with this year, demand have been overwhelming. people stealing flour in broad daylight has also become a common site. at this distribution center, police fight betprince in the air to disperse people who had got there to collect free flour. pakistan is going to its worst economic crisis 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 searching. and so if poverty demand over the 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 their income on food. but now they have to spend 70 to 80 percent in hub in gonzalez of the cities, a bit of the unrest, an uncertainty at formidable challenges for the country of around 220000000 people, many of whom are fighting for survival gentlemen, i understood you for more context is did a report abuse drug or british welcome to we know how many people in boxes are not currently food insecure. it is 35000000 people in pakistan. it is almost half the population of talents. a desk 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 4th 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 of those across pakistan, articulate really the economic crisis that has been the country. i think the scenes at these distribution centers have exposed the levels of our work in pakistan,

biker fan of going through its worst economic growth as in the us. but 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, there 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 hit over. 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 basic are food items such as flour were

raised lentils. it has gone, saw 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 work closer to their home. so they can. and 5th, transportation costs in some families and they have maybe taken one child out of school. so they're just letting maybe one j go to school. they're making deficient, such as selling their guys and buying motor bikes because the expense of food and groceries has gone so up the hot force 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 back of an 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 dog. but political advances, the government itself is in crisis because if there is a political crisis as well, that grouping partner pakistan as what's going through our political crisis fence barkus and our former prime minister him longhand 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 court. and in all of that, girls are they have forgotten that people of pakistan are suffering their dying of hunger. they're dying in this crushes waiting in lines just to get some food for their families. do you see things good and better? british, i'm in the shorter and i think the only hope was ah, the lord payment of i am f r. 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,

in maybe it's in its young people in increasing their capacity in 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 better, this is well with you tomorrow, with a city full of surprises. group of yes. were told in the middle of the german state of north mind, west valia with plenty of major history. you can even touch flavors to enjoy it. oh,
