>> announcer: this is the "cbs overnight news." i'm olivia gaz as in washington. thanks for staying with us. a tense calm has returned to the seas around taiwan after china wrapped up three days of intense military exercises. nearly 100 warplanes buzzed taiwan's airspace, and dozens of ships, including an aircraft carrier, conducted live fire drills in the taiwan strait. the war games were meant as a show of force after taiwan's president met a congressional delegation in california. elizabeth palmer has the view from taiwan. >> reporter: in taipei, taiwan's capital and a city of i a rdayoh

"yes," the father told us. "we need to repair everything -- hearts, souls, houses,
