but let me begin with the situation in the taiwan strait. yesterday, the people's republic of china launched nearly a dozen ballistic missiles toward taiwan. landing, rushed to the north east. the east and southeast of the out. japan reported that 5 of those missiles landed in macon on the canal zone, understandably, causing them. and all of us grave concern. people's liberation army has now declared 7 restricted zones near taiwan. and say that they will extend a range of military exercises through monday. these provocative actions are a significant escalation. we've seen how beijing has attempted to change the status quan taiwan for some time. for example, more than doubling the number of aircraft flown over the center line. it separates china and taiwan over the past 2 years, pursuing economic court, political interference and cyber attacks, against taiwan. now, they've taken dangerous acts to a new level. united states is conveyed to the p r c consistently and repeatedly that we do not seek and will not provo a crisis. presidents, i said

let's turn out his tensions in the taiwan straits in the wake of us. how speaker nancy pelosi is visit to taiwan. china has announced it is suspending dialogue with united states on a number of important issues. they include military relations, climate change, and legal help, and criminal matters and policies as it has enraged beijing, which sees the self governing island of taiwan as part of its territory. in response, china has been conducting intensive military drills in the waters around tie. one chinese missiles began striking the seas north, south and east of taiwan hours after us. how speaker nancy pelosi left the island bartonville meet young. had the missouri chinese state television released video of war ships patrolling the taiwan strait for decades, and unofficial buffer zone between china and taiwan. as fighter jets cruise the skies above air cover for the multiple, no go danger zones declared by china in some of the busiest shipping lanes in the world, china has chosen to overreact and use speaker blows his visit as a pretext to increase

say through the strait of malacca, i think that actually is extremely likely. and in some ways, russia's invasion of ukraine kind of alerted the united states and its allies, that these things are real kind of set in place already. that collusion that is allow them to get together and plan these things which has made it more likely if there is a future war. okay. and on american a potential involvement when, when nancy pelosi landed a couple of days ago, she tweeted our delegations visit to taiwan honest america's unwavering commitment to supporting ty, ones, vibrant democracy. but can tie, pay really believe that after thing the u. s. is pasty dash out of afghanistan, which lot left a lot of actual allies concerned about american a reliability, nevermind a territory about which america maintains this a strategic ambiguity. i don't think you can ever 100 percent guarantee that you're al. i will come to your aid, but i would point out that taiwan is a very different case than afghanistan. i mean, even though the united states now, like in taiwan technically aren

and i personally would urge them to refrain from any such acts of provocation in the taiwan strait or evolving taiwan. no one in the world can change the fact that there is only one. china and taiwan is a part of china. anyone who indulges in fantasy otherwise will be due to failure. many thanks for sharing your thoughts with us on the programs. david gal, vice president of the sense of china and globalization, thank you. thank you very much for having me. thank you. now from north africa now we're any 32 people have been killed under a 159 wounded in clashes in libya as capital. if, according to the country's health ministry, this is the aftermath of that fighting that broke out on saturday in the libyan capital. tripoli, while militia group exchanged, heavy guns, filed with local media, saying the classes were initiated by one of the capitals strongest on factions that renewed violence comes as rival forces continue to vice for power. the, the blast, the conflict even has ignite, re ignited to, to a stand off between 2 rival governments. but you went back tripoli, base governments h

has been making about china's actions in the taiwan strait. now, he says china's position is just and reasonable and he says the actions is really to warn the pro independence force in taiwan against taking any actions that will separate tie. one from china, he says, re unification. of tie one will happen and that he reiterated that china is a part of taiwan. and he's also accused the u. s. of interfering in china's internal affairs. now this is something that we have heard from chinese officials before. but what we're really seeing here at these meetings in non penn is we're seeing these 2 major rivals. these 2 major powers really hardening their positions when it comes to nancy flows, his visit to taiwan and china as a response to that. we heard earlier, the u. s. at secretary of state antony blinking, calling china's actions in the taiwan straits, flagrantly provocative saying that it was unjustifiable and that it was extreme. it was disproportionate, and it wasn't escalator. he said it was a significant escalation and that it has, it has t

young had a man's aarp chinese state television released video of war ships patrolling the taiwan strait for decades, and unofficial buffer zone between china and taiwan. as fighter jets cruise the skies above air cover for the multiple, no go danger zones declared by china in some of the busiest shipping lanes in the world. china has chosen to overreact. a new speaker blows his visit as a pretext to increase provocative military activity in and around the taiwan strait . blinkin is in cambodia for ministerial meeting of southeast asian nations, although his chinese counterpart is also there. the lincoln says the 2 have no plans to meet. the fact is, the speaker's visit was peaceful. there is no justification for this extreme, disproportionate and escal atory, military response china seas. taiwan is a breakaway province, which will eventually come under beijing's control and as deeply opposed to any visits by foreign governments to go where you, what china is defending is its own sovereignty and territorial integrity. what sean is doing is safeguarding the basic norms governing internati

they said maybe they would fire missiles into the taiwan strait. they would have an incursion into taiwanese airspace. maybe they would step up air and military exercises. he mentioned these possibilities to say, as you heard, there's no reason for this. this would be a visit by a lawmaker, although a senior one, which has happened before, but it didn't indicate any policy change. >> there's a distinction between the legislative branch and the executive branch of the u.s. government. >> congress is independent of the executive branch. it is up to the speaker to do what she wants, and that is somethg the white house and administration have been saying from the start. they haven't given their own official view of whether she should go, although privately they have advised her about the risks, and we said president biden said he didn't think the military thought it was a good idea, but they have also said if she goes, they will support her. it is her decision, and it's not like she is being sent on an official visit from the white house. they said the

how show up. china often holds military drills in the taiwan strait. but what we're seeing now is something else entirely, isn't it? why exactly are these lead? is exercises, so worrying what the true is unprecedented. this is the 1st time beijing tries to and circle with the i then like this. it's worth noting that on china, us social media wave will and we chad. chinese citizens have express huge disappointment at beijing's lack of action to stop hello see from visiting taiwan. many were expecting to p l a to shoot her playing down, but it didn't happen. of course, the public discontent is a huge blow to seizing things authority, especially when he's under pressure to look strong ahead of a party meeting later this year. many fear the pressure coup, chromed china to take it even tougher measures against taiwan. and the drew could be practicing for a future invasion. the association of southeast asian nations is meeting in cambodia capital, non pen, china, and the u. s. are also joining the summit. the meeting has been overshadowed by nancy pelosi vis

what has been the most sustained show of force in the taiwan strait in more than a generation? i mean, roughly every few days china has sensed dozens of aircraft in and half a dozen or so warships. many of them have been going across the median line in the middle of the taiwan straits that have been going on. and now it looks like china is dramatically, obviously increasing number of those incursions as well as carrying out this blockade of simulation. and so i think that this is going to be sort of the new normal. and we've seen this after other crises in 2012 when china and japan got in a stat over the st cocker. we're dow, you islands, china ramped up its forms, coast guard presence around those rocks and reefs in 10951096. in all of these cases, china has used demonstrations, of course, to signal it's resolve, and i expect that to continue for the foreseeable future. so if that continues for the same foreseeable future then that, that sounds like it's going to be really quite damaging for the taiwanese economy because they are effectively blockaded. no one's flying in. no o

they are also very crowded in the taiwan strait is not very big either. so there is a lot of overlapping territory. real claims, even if we go with land borders as the basis of those claims. so countries have 12 miles from their coastline as a kind of area that they really do. they are supposed to be able to control, and then they have another couple 100 miles of exclusive economic zone. and there is just a lot of overlap on top of that. are the air defense identification zones that countries use to ensure that incoming aircraft, including and sort of typically, normally, commercial aircraft, are notifying the airports on the ground and the towers on the ground of their arrival. and a lot of the chinese military activity in the taiwan strait is actually in the, in taiwan air defense identification zone. but in the last few days, it has moved even closer to the island of taiwan. and if it's closer to the island of taiwan, especially on the north than than it is not that far from okinawa and other parts of japan's territorial waters. so very scary. thank yo

we expect cross strait differences to be resolved by peaceful means. communication with beijing. as president biden told president xi, the speaker's visit is consistent with the one china policy, that she had a right to visit and a a previous speaker of the house visited taiwan before without incident. this is how we're going to defend america's national security interests and our values. that is how president biden directed us to operate in the days ahead, with consistency, clarity and transparency. we'll keep doing what we're doing and we're going to keep supporting cross strait peace and stability because it matters. not just in the strait, not just in taiwan but to the entire region. with that, we take questions. >> thanks, john. a couple questions about brittany greiner's sentence. first off, why do you believe the russian judge chose a nine-year sentence for what appears to be a minor infraction? >> i can't get inside the head of a russian judge. we have similar maximum sentences for drug charges of foreigners in russia. they typically -- histori

stuff just across the taiwan strait. the, me the the well let me live in the she do as she has been for the last number of hours are to correspond. rachel blevins at rachel. i think you've been spending quite a lot of time on flight tracker. last that while the question is will she won't she nancy pelosi houses all guessing but she or so yeah. was me in about 300000 other people that are currently on that flight radar. 24 website tracking this play. now it's notable. this is the plane landed in malaysia with nancy pelosi on it. now it's believe that she's back on it and right now, continuing in that route. however, there have been a lot of other reports and questions about people asking whether or not there's confirmation that she is in fact on it. now, as the flight radar shows, it did make that all super important turn during more to the left is it continues to go north raising questions about whether it would go straight towards taiwan. opposed to continuing on that route towards south korea, japan which are other sto

they sort of implying that they consider taiwan strait as an internal waterway of china. states. and our poll found that an overwhelming majority of 81% taiwanese, they reject this claim as well. they don't they do not agree that taiwan is china's internal waterway. so we can see why the majority of the taiwanese public, they would welcome these us naval vessels and to some extent the other western navy sailing through their warships across the strait. since they see these activities as a gesture of support for taiwan and challenging china's ambition and aggressions. obviously, whether these activities themselves are proof that the united states and other western nations would come to taiwan's defense during a war, that's totally another question. nasa's latest moon mission is all set for launch on monday. the combined sls—orion spacecraft is due to blast off from the kennedy space center in cape canaveral. it will send an uncrewed capsule around the moon and back to earth on a six—week test flight called artemis i. this mission is nasa's first to the moon in 50 years, ai

to get their attention for domestic market. los, these visit will add tensions across the taiwan strait. i really hope the americans won't come around to mess things up so that we can live a peaceful life with from moscow to the world. this is art a pleasure to help you with us today. my name is gina. know me. tensions are mounting our on taiwan. the head of a potential visit by yes. hi st. speaker. china is ratcheting up military activity . nancy pelosi is apparently preparing to lunch in ty, pay on, choose the nie thought to say, is expected to be shortly. now it comes despite warnings from beijing. now the u. s . c's little issue with the potential touched on, but china has labeled the move a breach of its sovereignty. ah, nathan, who in the face of the u. s. acting recklessly in disregard of china's sullen representations, the contra measure by china will be justified and necessary. we pay close attention to policies, itinerary if the u. s. and system going its own way to china will take firm in great measures to safeguard chinese sovereignty security an interesting way. and so if t

i think about it 2 very opposing views on, on the actions taken in the taiwan strait. and they've not sat down at a meeting to discuss the differences, but instead of how separate chris conferences, real reinstating, really yes, i mean that physician. and in the middle of all of this, i see a members walking, a very fine line, trying not to aggravate, but also trying to find a peaceful way out of this for their own sakes. absolutely. i mean, we've heard, did the cambodian foreign minister say that austin has faced many challenges in its past since its inception, but this is the 1st time it's faced so many parents in the same, at the same time. and you know, these countries, they would want to be caught up in the middle of the rivalry between 2 major powers . and we've seen also how these 2 major power the u. s. and china have been using this form as a means to court allies and court friends. china promising closer economic ties. the u. s. reaffirming its commitment to keeping the indo pacific region free and open southeast asian countries. really the, they're really sa

they're sort of implying that they consider taiwan strait as an internal waterway of china.ed by the united states. and our poll found that an overwhelming majority of 81% taiwanese, they reject this claim as well. they don't agree that taiwan is china's internal waterway. so we can see why the majority of the taiwanese public, they would welcome these us naval vessels and to some extent the other western navy sailing their warships across the strait. since they see these activities as a gesture of support for taiwan and challenging china's ambition and aggressions. 0bviously, whether these activities themselves are proof that the united states and other western nations would come to taiwan's defense during a war, that's totally another question. explosive demolition experts have brought down two 100—metre—tall residential tower blocks outside the indian capital, delhi. a nine—year dispute ended with a supreme court ruling that the twin towers violated construction standards. nearly four tonnes of explosive were used in the operation. 5,000 residents were evacuated, along wi

that's condemned chinese military exercises in the taiwan strait. we call them a major escalation and wall they could destabilized the why to region. the drills are launched in response to a visit to tie one this week by us house speaker, nancy pelosi, which is and get beijing, china's foreign minister as wall the u. s. will face consequences as a result iraq, she had political liter, but that also has called on supporters to observe friday press on a square inside baghdad, screen zone. his followers have been occupying parliament, which is inside the fortified area. the several days india's central bank has raised its key lending rate by half of one percentage point in an effort to curb spiraling inflation. it's the 3rd increase in the last 4 months, and economists say, it won't be the last this year. a fall in the rupees value as making fuel food and medicine more expensive. the government says the war in ukraine is partly to blame . alighted states as declared a public health emergency to deal with a monkey pox outbreak. the number of reported ca

the people on both sides of the taiwan straits . all chinese people and the u. s. government fully acknowledged that there is only one china and how one is part of china and the people's republic of china is the sold exhibits. government represent the polity of the chinese people. mr. guy, i can jump in just a moment here you making some a very interesting commentary. what when you were referred to in nancy pelosi and her husband, i think your phone's allegations of possible inside a traitor. but, but that, that's a story that we don't have time for today. it's a big potential story too. but when you talk about politicians lining their pockets, so to speak. and you know, some people do question why the majority of sentences on capitol hill happened to be millionaires. but that again is another story for another time. talk to us about the chinese people. what, what is the general reaction in the public to nancy's policies? a so called visit to tie one. first of all on tremors may learn people completely upset with nancy pelosi is visited by why they view this as

it does raise tension in the strait of taiwan with shipping lanes. i was just watching footage coming in by from the associated press, seeing some container lines still going through this, the taiwan strait. it has not deterred all traffic but some shipping lines have through their ships after the eastern part of taiwan. airlines also making some adjustments as well to stay away from these six" -- six exclusive zones with his military drills, with the air force, where the navy with rocket teams were participating. the hope is for the global commerce and geopolitical tensions. this does not turn into another taiwan state crisis that we saw in 95 or 96 when we saw at least two u.s. carrier strike groups come into the philippines and near the taiwan strait. that escalated the tensions. the tensions lasted for eight months. we don't necessarily want that but the u.s. said that is an aircraft carrier that is fully deployed to the asia-pacific region. it is said to be in the philippine sea right now, on standby if you will. the u.s. also saying that their

we'll add tensions across the taiwan strait. i really hope the americans won't come around to mess things up so that we can live a peaceful life with a very warm or welcome to you. this is all to international with me role res, to show you. now i just off that 9 pm here at moscow and just after 2 o'clock in the morning in taipei, why are we talking about ty pay because that's where the u. s. how speaker nancy pelosi finally touched down just a few hours ago. and so, so, you know, very well of the fact that she touched down despite numerous threats from china, of serious and pending consequences. china will definitely take all necessary measures to resolutely safeguarded sovereignty and territorial integrity. in response to the u. s. speaker's visit, all the consequences arising there from must be borne by the us side and the tie want independence, separatist forces as our series and pictures from the song shot at board in taipei . it's a regional and military base and that's nancy pelosi is playing right. that just a few hours a

-china relations, but also in the serious crisis to the strait of taiwan. be breaking a lot of the status quo, and i think there's going to be a lot of consequences in the future. we are seeing the deterioration of relations. kim: i just want to pause you there and cross over to taipei, vincent chao, what do you make of nancy pelosi's reception in taiwan, what does her visit mean for taiwan? guest: to start, henry's point about anti-china, i think what he is really trying to say is she's been pro-democracy, basically her whole life. if anything i think she's , pro-china democracy and she was in tiananmen. she showed support for democracy in china and in taiwan in the past. when it comes down to is that pelosi has a great track record when it comes to supporting human rights and democracy around the world and her coming here to taiwan is second nature . when we look at it, there is no breaking of the status quo. newt gingrich as speaker came here in 1997. the chinese did not dispatch fighter jets, they did not did not announce live fire exercises did not eng

s. warship, sailing through the taiwan strait. the eastern theatre command tracked and monitored the entire process. us warships frequently show off their force under the guise of freedom of navigation. this is not a promise of freedom and openness, but an attempt to provoke and undermine regional peace and stability. china once again urges the u. s. to stop hollowing out and distorting the one china principal yoke, the warships were accused of crossing the median line that separates the chinese mainland anti wine. it was the 1st us naval transit in the waterway since us china attention spiked over this month's visit to the island by house speaker, nancy pelosi, scotty nell hughes, political commentator, and t. v. host. with more details on sunday, 2 american naval ships made it no secret that they were sailing through the taiwan strait. a bold signed by the united states. as is the 1st operation since how speaker nancy pelosi visited the island of taiwan on august 4th. now since then, multiple us legislators have visited taiwan,

strait. exercises — which are taking place over the next four days from tomorrow — are in response to a visit to taiwan by the speaker of the us house of representatives, nancy pelosi. miss pelosi has said her visit was intended to make it clear that the us won't abandon the island, and that her country's commitment to democracy there is iron—clad. taiwan is self—governing and lies about 100 miles across the taiwan straits — it sees itself as independent, but china views it as its own and has warned of grave consequences, following the visit. taiwan's economy is hugely important to our everyday electronic equipment — with phones, laptops, watches, and games consoles — being powered by computer chips made in taiwan. so regional stability is seen as critical to the global economy. our asia pacific editor celia hatton has this report. nancy pelosi, defying the wishes of beijing and the biden white house, was clear about her support by taiwan during her short visit there. we will not abandon our

tensions in the taiwan strait _ details then? tensions in the taiwan strait as _ details then?s you - details then? tensions in the taiwan strait as you just - taiwan strait as you just mentioned, nancy pelosi the us house speaker was there earlier this month sparking a strong reaction from china which launched the largest ever military drills along the taiwan strait. and now we are getting yet another sign of closer ties between the us and taiwan, this prospective investment and trade deal is called the us taiwan initiative on 21st—century trade and it was first announced in june on 21st—century trade and it was first announced injune and now the two sides are saying they are ready to start formal negotiations in autumn, us and taiwan trade reached a very substantial $106 billion in 2020 and by really reducing barriers on a wide number of areas, this deal promises to take it to the next level when it comes to agriculture and digital trade and other areas, and you remember that taiwan is and you remember that taiwan is a world leader when it comes to semiconductor chip producti

dozens of chinese wall plains and warships crossed the taiwan strait median line again. now it's not just about china and taiwan, but regional stability on thursday, china 55 ballistic missiles into waters that are part of japan's exclusive economic zone. this is the 1st time such a thing had happened, told co strongly condemned the ag, demanding beijing to immediately stop the drills out of the 5 misses falling into japanese waters. 4 of them appear to have flown over tie, pay. china claims it's miss o's crossed the island for the 1st time. and now this has caused a bit of a panic here in taiwan. but the islands, defense ministry down play the risk saying in a statement that the miss o's through high into the atmosphere and post no threat to the ground area. some military exposed in taiwan that the over fly was more of a psychological warfare. they real threats in the report, we heard a fisherman who's really concerned about these military drills. i'll extend his question to you. what if this really does become the new normal? what right now, some cargo ships are re rou

and it's clear that china is trying to change the status code of the eye of the taiwan strait according to expose. and the military exercises could become a new normal. and meanwhile, the chinese authorities announced that they're going to conduct ly fire shooting druids for 10 days in the south and waters of the yellow sea. now that's a, an area very, very close to south korea. it came right off to so express objections to china's attempts to change the status cold by force. and it is seen as sending a warning to the u. s. military base and korea and also the a cyber attack against high one is ongoing. ah, and there are a lot of like fake news and rumors running wild online, ty, ones, premier susan's home said they're part of china's psychological warfare campaign. so how is taiwan responding to all of this? well, i know some expect groups and multinational firms have started to discuss evacuation plans, but are for, you know, most of the local chinese people, they grew up living with china's threat. so life goes on even during the unprecedented strows. i've talked to a lot of people i

and he also said that, you know, what china's doing in the taiwan strait is not justified. he said it's a significant escalation. it is disproportionate and it's extreme to really these 2 countries already starting at very different points and it doesn't seem like they are. i mean the meetings have ended, they've not held dialogue with each other. they've already said they wouldn't. but we're really clearly seeing the tensions in the taiwan strait or spilling over to events in on him. mike, hannah has more from washington dc on the latest us reaction. well, the white house to summon the chinese ambassador here in dc to the white house, to protest against what they described as china's extreme provocation. he has seen the breed by white house personnel in terms of conveying to us is anger at the chinese actions. it particularly over the straits of ty, one, there has been a quick reaction here to the latest action by china. but us stated all along that the speakers visit to taiwan in no way reflected any change in us policy. we heard that again from the secretary of state, to

but pelosi left troubled waters in her wake. chinese military helicopters fly over the taiwan strait of pin 10 in southern china. at the start of life fire exercises that effectively surround the island. chinese state t. v. broadcast video of missiles far from the mainland into target areas close to territorial waters. taiwan claims as its own, with its pointed jets in the air in combined exercises designed to show china, is in complete control. caribbean mutual. the purpose is to assure that the people's liberation army is capable of controlling the taiwan island. a great to turn to towns, independent secessionist forces. none the less, china's foreign ministry blamed escalating tensions firmly on the united states. you are to deal good. yeah. if these countries really cared about peace and stability in the taiwan strait, they should have persuaded the united states not to engage in dangerous, reckless and irresponsible provocations against china. before policies visit to taiwan, they pretended to be deaf and silent, but now they jumped out to criticize china's just actions exposing
