one of the new lines coming in from beijing. well actually a little bit earlier, unbearable consequences was the quote from, from beijing. it's very direct language that isn't it? yes, it is, and you know, when you think of those consequences, many people may think of them just in terms of militarily looking at the fact that you have this ramping up on the, on both sides. but at the same time, the u. s. also relies heavily on china when it comes to trade. and so there are a number of ways in which is asian wanted to inflict consequences on washington. they could do it and the u. s. would feel the pain as a result. and so right now it's just kind of a waiting game to see is fully going to be the one who gets off of that plane. and what is that visit going to look like? and what really is the end game here? because you know the statements that we've heard from the white house and from the, by ministration as a whole, has been that they don't necessarily support those. but it's almost as if they think that they can't stop it is tha

he is beijing. says pillar sees visit is a serious violation of the one china principal is bound to launch targeted military actions around the islands. ahmed vehicles was st. patrolling the chinese port city of gammon. across the street from taiwan. humans war and parties have agreed to extend a full month truce for a fair the 2 months hours before it was due to expire. us presidential biden says the agreement between the government santa, who thesis is an important stick. the 1st cargo ship carrying grain to leave ukraine since roger invited more than 5 months ago has been cited off the coast of turkey. it's expected to dock there for inspection on wednesday before heading to live in on. the ship is being monitored by a joint coordination center and stan bull turkish, russian, ukrainian, and you. when staff are there, as part of a deal signed last month, the ship to lift the ukrainian port of odessa on monday. son in casino, glue has more from a stand bull. the 1st commercial vessel carrying ukrai

in fact, president nixon went to beijing before the year before washington recognized gave a base beijing a diplomatic recognition when we thought that china was the rightful leader of taiwan was right. leader of china. i think both sides need to kind of take deep breath and calm down. i agree with one of your previous guess, however, that this is a political stand by pillows issue long been a china hawk and she is about to leave the speakership. and this is about her distracting from some of the problems and washing of the democrats are having and trying to redefine her legacy. so i think everybody took a deep breath here. the realize that not much has really changed as a result of our trip. you really think something that that can help her redefine her legacy. it seems very late in her career and it certainly has a lot of people upset to save money. i don't think so. i mean politicians of the twilight of their career and oftentimes to try to do. bolden dramatic and sometimes desperate things are the democrats agenda is basically collapse in congress. they're about to get basically beat

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 the speaker does decide to visit, and china tries to create some kind of crisis or otherwise escalate tensions, that would be entirely on beijing. while chinese military drills have been marking the 95th anniversary of the creation of the people's liberation army ahead, all philosophies potential visit to taiwan. china is navy fleets being carrying maneuvers in various locations. according to military sources. drills include the use of weapons on coordination between war ships and fighter aircraft beijing. how s

this visit has really become _ for beijing? this visit has really become a - for beijing?g? this visit has really become a lot morej really become a lot more dramatic and a significant than it might have been if it had gone ahead in april, when it was initially planned. i think the idea was to go at short notice with little fanfare and be in and out but because nancy pelosi got covid at that time and postponed the trip, there's been months now the both sides to dwell on this and for the headlines to grow and for the resolve on both sides to make the visit and in china's case to oppose the visit very strongly, this has built up and become very dramatic, the seas that we are seeing now obviously really emphasise the theatre around that. —— seems. the visits itself although historic, as the us has tried to point out very strongly, is not unprecedented and in itself is not a game changer. it is all about the context it is happening in that makes it so tense. it happening in that makes it so tense. ., , happening in that makes it so tense. , ., , happening in that makes it so t

and beijing immediately react to this. well, obviously i hope they don't overreact, but they're going to have to do something. they're going to do something to show their disapproval this. i hope of course, they do it through a diplomatic channel and diplomatic means as opposed to a military one. but they've drawn this red line in the same way that russia drawn this red line over ukraine and the. b u. s continues to cross these red lines again, even though it would act very aggressively if other countries cross their many red lines. so there will be a reaction. i'm not sure what it will be, but i'm sure it'll be a strong relax reaction in china. you mentioned the red lines there. does this par let with ukraine? what's happening or? i think it has to be seen is paralleling that. and i think to do this when you saw what happened in ukraine when you have a now a war going on in ukraine because that red line was crossed and then say ok, well now let's go cross or red line with china. i just can't imagine the thought process is

it's triggered an angry response from beijing. but how will tie pay and washington deal with the full mouth? this is inside story. ah po, welcome to the program on can vanelle, nancy pelosi has become the most senior us politician to visit taiwan in 25 years. the u. s. how speak is spent less than a day on the cellphone island, but china, which claims taiwan as part of its territory called the trip a direct challenge to its sovereignty. aging had issued threats and warnings before pelosi even touched down. but america's 3rd most powerful politician was undeterred, saying washington was committed to preserving taiwan democracy. china is responding with live 5 military drills and an import band on time when he's products. we'll bring in our guests in a moment, 1st this report from homages june for us. how speaker nancy pelosi, a high profile trip to taiwan. fraught with both complications and contradictions. america's 3rd most powerful politician, repeating washington's commitment to protect democracy on the self governed island . w

ambassador in beijing.s trip has come to an end, but with chinese-american relations at such a low point, it's not clear yet what the long-term repercussions of this visit will be. mohammed jamjoom for "inside story." host: let's look more closely at the u.s. relationship with taiwan. washington does not have formal diplomatic ties with the island, but maintains what it calls a policy of "strategic ambiguity." it recognizes the chinese government in beijing, but not china's territorial claim to taiwan. the u.s. does supply weapons to taipei under its "1979 taiwan relations act." the island is a major economic and technology partner to the u.s. it supplies more than half of the world semiconductor's. china sees taiwan as a breakaway province that will eventually be united and hasn't ruled out using force. ♪ kim: bringing our guests. in taipei, vincent chao, former director of the political division, taipei economic and cultural representative office in the u.s., and a former chief of staff to both the taiwan

forces commander undeclared, that casa, whether the exercises were intended to send a message to beijing, saw us either not at all. we have always done this training if someone wants to read it that way. well, that's not our intention at all. any these drills involving several countries will continue until mid august. jessica washington out a 0 but roger, indonesia, a volcano has erupted in iceland just southwest of the capital reykjavik, you're looking at pictures of molten magnets seeping up to the surface as the live pictures of the situation made the 1st time the volcanoes erupted. since september was since then, pressure has been building up under the earth. that's what's causing the lava to burst through again, my son's authorities are monitoring the situation. ah, take you through those headlines, then. iraq's influential sheer leader mocked out solder as called for early elections and peaceful protests. he asked his supporters to leave baghdad, apartment building thousands of them storm the complex and baghdad on saturday talks to revive the 2015 iran nuclear deal, a set to resum

that as you, as healthy commences, begin for officials with paid despite numerous warnings from beijing. china strongly condemned to visit, saying it was a leaky, defend its territorial integrity and accuses b u. s. of provocation. this again proves that some us politicians have become the trouble makers of china. us relations in the us has become the number one savage or of the peace and stability of the taiwan strait. and some people in taiwan all concerned over the us health because members of the public told us below says that the place to be you if domestic audience and will not benefit to tie one at all for the low see touch china's bottom line. she touched the red line, so both of us and china have to take actions accordingly. they just use a tension for domestic market. lo, she's to visit with attention to cross the taiwan strait, which has no benefit at all for the taiwan people with him here in moscow, 1 pm in taipei and you with auntie international. hello, and welcome to today's program. i'm point clear, thanks so much for joining us. china has begun military drills in areas

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 visit to taiwan a z and chair combo dea has urged all sides to de escalate tension in the taiwan strait. original block warned on thursday that there could be a quote miscalculation and serious confrontation. richard tay darien i

see, so we've heard a reaction out of beijing. we've heard a bit of muffled reaction out of washington dc. what about the rest of the world? it's rather quiet at the moment. we have any other international reaction to that. yeah, you know, is interesting because earlier this week when policy was in singapore, the premier, there actually said that the focus needed to be on maintaining stable relations between the united states and china. that that was something that was in all of their best interest in the region. at the same time, we've also heard from moscow a spokesperson for the kremlin, spoke out and referred to this trip as extremely provocative, noting that russia stands with china and also that moscow understands that frustration that is coming to from beijing when it comes to this visit in the fact that the united states has continued to carry out. so certainly a lot of moving parts here, a lot to keep an eye on, and these consequences will likely be felt long after this visit is over. you think any chance at nancy pelosi

beijing said this is the one issue that the u.s. and china, the two most powerful countries in the d, could come into conflict over. they said it was provocative and sends a strong signal that the u.s. is on taiwan's side. is the u.s. on taiwan's side? >> if you look at provocative, the ones sending missiles over taiwan and china encircled the island, it was in fact beijing. this was nothing unusual. members of congress this year have traveled to taiwan previously. i've traveled to taiwan a number of times, i've traveled to china. we're not going to allow -- and speaker pelosi is absolutely right about this, that to have president xi dictate to us where we should or should not go. we are going to stand by our friends, our partners, and our allies. and clearly taiwan is one of them. and so being provocative is not us, it's want beijing government and we're just not going to allow that to happen. >> in terms of this policy, for decades, it's been one of strategic ambiguity. the u.s. sells arms to taiwan but doesn't promise to actually

s. hell speaker nancy pelosi visit beijing as preparing its biggest show of force around taiwan. in decades the government in taipei says in scramble jets to warn off chinese aircraft that entered its air defense zone. a number of taiwanese ministry. websites have come under cyber attack . pelosi left taiwan pledging washington's iron clad commitment to defending democracy there. a trip that has set the region on edge the speaker of the us house of representatives, nancy pelosi arrives in taiwan, making her the highest level american official to visit the island in 25 years. pelosi stopover was kept deliberately ambiguous, amid stock warnings from china, and the threat of a military response. despite reservations in the biden administration, the white house insisted that pelosi had a right to choose whether to visit and choose. she did to day our delegation of which i'm very proud, came to taiwan, to make unequivocally clear, will not abandon our commitment to taiwan. and we are proud of our enduring friendship. today the world safe is the choice between democracy and autocracy.

and in beijing, henry wheel, yeah. when founder and president of the center for china and globalization and director of the chinese people's institute of foreign affairs, a variable and welcome to you. all i'd like to start with you in re we are wang in beijing with your thoughts on nancy pelosi visit and the reaction that we've seen so far to that visit. well, i think this is a really a bad move actually on the, on the a close it because she, i came to, you know, a relation to the child. you already have the lows on also the war is the face them and then and face in the you can rushing prices, energy prices and the other questions as well. so we just have the present, president biden called last week, and we also had to fire a high level of dialogue between the senior officials between china, u. s. in the last who was so we, we don't want to see this happen to me for nancy pelosi personal games because she, she has been branded, has been really make her name her know that and to china. and also really not, not in good

first we'll examine beijing's military response. are missile firings really beijing's practice for an actual invasion? then we'll look at the many repercussions for u.s./china relations. can the two powers recover from this new low? is this the start of a cold war? i've got the experts on it all. >>> also -- >> justice has been delivered and this terrorist leader is no more. >> america kills a leader of al qaeda, once again. so just what is the state of terrorism today? how big is the threat to the west? but first, here's my take. the world's two most powerful nations find themselves in a hair-raising crisis that could spill into military conflict. and the strangest aspect of all this is how predictable it was. taiwan's status has long been known as the most sensitive issue for both the united states and china, one that has been carefully managed for five decades, and nancy pelosi had signaled her desire to go to taiwan months ago. but on the american side, a series of errors, many of them tactical and driven by domestic politics, h

a visit has enraged beijing, which is now staging military drills. also in the program. the ship carrying ukrainian grain is heading for lebanon after passing inspection checks under a deal with russia to resort exports. plus a mystery sink hole. that's baffling. officials in chile it's opened up in a remote mining area in the desert. the company working the lamps as that has no idea why. ah, i'm really mohammed walking to the program. you as how speaker nancy pelosi has ended her controversial visit to ty one with the pledge of solidarity. she says america's commitment to the islands, democracy is iron clad. closely was given a warm welcome, but had trip enraged china, which sees taiwan as its own territory. beijing has reacted by launching military drills in the region. taipei says chinese fighter jets have crossed the line, dividing the taiwan straits ministers from the g 7 group of leading nation say close his visit is their excuse for china's aggressive response. a trip that has set the region on edge the speaker of the us house of representatives, nancy pelosi arri

. sunset flux recognition from type pe to beijing. washington has held an ambivalent position regarding china and taiwan officially acknowledges basing as the only legitimate government for the whole of china, including tie one in line with the one china policy. however, this has not prevented us from maintaining unofficial relations with type pe and sending military aid to the island. china said that the time has come for us to stop playing the tie one cod. this is a serious violation of the one china principle. there is but one china in the world tie one is an inalienable part of china's territory. china strongly urges the united states to stop playing the tie one cart and using tie one to contain china. one, china policy has been a definitive aspect and us sign in relation to the past 40 year. but today's visit by nancy pelosi seems to put all of that on the brink of destruction. the one china policy is that the united states acknowledges the people's republic of china as the one chinese government on the mainland. it does not have

is nancy pelosi strip likely to change beijing's mind? well, we should remember the february 4th, no limit agreement that was signed between. she's in pain and president putin in the run up to the olympics. this was a symbol of how they are backing each other, how they are cooperating. and it's no surprise that russia has back to china's position, even though some analysts are trying to say that china doesn't really want to support russia. that's not true at all. and i think it's in china's own interest. they're fearful of secondary sanctions. if china does support russia with weapons that will trigger u. s. secondary sanctions. so i think that china is helping russia by buying oil. and i think that they're getting a discount on that as well. so there is mutual support for russia and china. we really have to see the world as it is not as we would like to be. some people have said that, you know, of course, this is no one likes it's you 2 front war maybe china and russia could cooperate by causing more problems in the balkans since china h

i think any beijing, we have to -- 80 beijing, we had to pretend there is a separation between the branchesngress. there is a long history of congress applying a separate and activist role when it comes to the taiwan relationship from the white house. the taiwan relations act which underpins the relationship between taiwan and the united states driven by congress. this is another example of this congressional activism imports taiwan. it is not the best time. this is not unprecedented and i do not think washington's position has changed. shery: it does not help when you have two superpowers trying to mend ties. even talking about potentially the u.s. lifting tariffs on chinese goods, this pushed the time i on any sort of -- timeline on any sort of warming of ties. >> i think it does push the timeline a little bit. summed depends on the response from china right now. if some of these sort before nancy pelosi has loved taiwan, the united states will feel the need to react. if they wait until she is gone, things resume in their tence but stable situations, there are forces looking to warm u.s.

washington is testing beijing's patience alexander baletsky news, beijing bureau.ell, now an urgent message from the department of defense a british rc-135 reconnaissance aircraft violated the state border of russia over the waters of the barents, the sea, crews on duty, air defense discovered an unknown air target to intercept it, a mig-31bm fighter was raised in the area of ​​cape svyatoy svyatoy nos, its crew pushed the intruder out of our airspace . she adored the attention of tourists, slept in boats and very quickly became one of the sights of the donkey, but sympathy for everything human played a cruel joke on her. named freya, named after the scandinavian goddess of love and beauty animal. in the prime of her life, everyone, except for specialists from the local fishery department, was fascinated by the report of anna semyonova. this is one of the last swims, the most famous norwegian walrus freya in the world, then, like a six hundred-kilogram animal, chasing zakoyaks, sunbathing on the bow of a submarine and trying to turn over other people's yachts among

how speaker nancy pelosi, his visit to taiwan, clear to all beijing also. nan sanctions affecting trade with taiwan and ended important by lateral communication channels with the u. s. in the areas of defense and climate change. but despite the never before seen, show a force off their coast. many taiwanese say they are unimpressed by the saber rattling i believe they just won't attack. they've just been talking about it. i am the gone to photo start a war either. i don't think it's too likely that force will be used to date. i won the color that is good that we get the maximum impact and the minimum cost. however, there are many observers who think that even a staging is not ready to fight to take over taiwan. it is prepared to take further steps to get its way. does it are to happen? the drills are to demonstrate to the us that it can block di one's exports. i thought those that is china is telling the us that it, that is walked in dominion. we wanted act. i one don't bother, but we will seal off the island and stopped advance semiconductors chips from going out the whole. this will b

the visit has sparked fury in beijing.will go into why as well as the reaction but first, here's a little of what she had to say. >> our solidarity with you is more important than ever. we are supporters of the status quo. we don't want anything to happen to taiwan by force. strength and one of the biggest sources of strength is democracy. >> this isn't the first time nancy pelosi has sent a message to china. you can see her here displaying a banner in support of those who were killed during the 1989 protest. the reason this visit has caused so much controversy is the although taiwan is self world, china sees it as a breakaway province. if it opposes countries having official exchanges with taiwan, but according to the president of taiwan, the relationship with china is not about to cnge. >> the speakers presence here helped to serve -- to boost public confidee. i told her that we are committed to maintaining the status quo. >> let's take a look at china's response. beijing has announced military drills. they include firin

is beijing guiding this?t is something we don't know. >> it is interesting when we look at bloomberg intelligence reacting to this. they are saying that this decision won't hurt cattle itself. but they are saying it is something taking investors at least by surprise. you think we could see more potential announcements like this from other companies. >> yes. see a.c.l. was quit unusual when it was a chinese company when it was looking at investing in the u.s.. we have seen a lot of that tail off as tensions have risen with the trade war and then the virus and then a lot of things coming to the floor once the biden administration came into government. so they were somewhat unusual but there are multiple of chinese companies that are in the u.s. and you have to look at tesla, a big client. china has this said to be its biggest producing factory in jane hi. -- shanghai. could there be sanctions against not just u.s. government officials but the u.s. company. you have nervous markets and nervous and best. >> all r

and china is livid. beijing stepping up military drills around the island. it claims as its territory and russia has seized this opportunity to back china's claim to neighboring territory as a purely internal matter. so what happens next? i'm fo, gail in berlin and this is the day ah, will be keeping a close eye on penalties, trip. and she did lawyer, this is another property of action by the u. s. administration to put additional pressure on people. what i can tell you is that the u. s. will bear the responsibility and pay the price for undermining china. sovereignty and security interest also coming up, russia's energy squeeze on europe. one of the a use biggest gas feels was slated for closure because it's causing earthquakes. now there's pressure to keep it producing, which is worried many residents plus people are afraid with a net next earthquake that the roof will come down and well, the beams may lanham you. welcome to the day we begin aware the visit that's taking place despite the threat of a major diplomatic incident. the speaker of the us house o

we are prepared to manage what beijing chooses to do. at the same time, we will not engage in saber rattling. we will operate in the seas and skies of the western pacific as we have done for decades. heidi: let us bring in our east asia correspondent. give us the latest on the ground. condemning the announcement of the military drills? >> as speaker pelosi arrived in taiwan last night, on the periphery that was -- there was a gray zone battle between china and taiwan. what of taiwanese websites went down, victims of cyberattacks from unknown sources, that included the presidential office website and the foreign ministry website. we have also seen an incredible amount of reports of military activity in the seas around taiwan. that culminated after pelosi arrived. china planned to -- china planned to hold military drills after pelosi leaves and they will entirely surround taiwan and they have already signaled to aircraft and ships not to go anywhere near the zone they are holding these drills in. as she arrived, there was a certain level o

ty pays total at to forces on just a fraction of what stands behind beijing. the number of chinese aircraft navy ships and tanks also well supports as tie ones, military forces. while top us officials claim washington is sticking by, it's one china policy. nancy pelosi meets the president of tie one and gets a reward from her order of the piteous cloud for her contribution to us. tie one relations earlier. pelosi pledged both cooperation and full support for taiwanese authorities during the meeting and parliament. we want to increase, enter your parliamentary cooperation and dialogue and we do so at a time when our president has put forth an asian pacific initiative, which we support. and we want to be specific in terms of how we work with taiwan in that regard. clearly it's a publication of china and if you are talking about cooperation in the atmosphere, that's here at the moment of confrontation, military compensation, you're talking about building up the american presence or support of taiwan, which is basically an aircraft carrier for the united states. a

has that been received by beijing? i democracy there. has that been received by beijing? that been received by beijing? received by bei'ing? i would start off by saying. — received by beijing? i would start off by saying. and _ received by beijing? i would start off by saying, and thanks - received by beijing? i would start off by saying, and thanks for- received by beijing? i would start i off by saying, and thanks for having me, that i think it is important to note that it is important for the united states to continue to support taiwan, to support its democracy and continue to support it being active in the international world, but this has clearly been received as a slight by beijing, which is not surprising. taiwan is one of the most sensitive issues for the chinese communist party and the chinese communist party and the chinese government, and so is not surprising they reacted so strongly. they have taken some unprecedented steps here, with their military, and other steps to really show resolve and to punish taiwan and to show resolve to taiwan and the united states

taiwan accuses china of practising for an invasion of its island after beijing expressed fury over usse speaker, nancy pelosi's visit to taipei. hello and welcome to bbc news. air raid sirens and explosions have been heard injerusalem as a conflict between israel and the palestinian militant group islamichhad escalates. it follows intense israeli air strikes in gaza which killed a second senior leader of the islamichhad group. khaled mansour was considered the most important man in the armed wing of the organisation. these are images of the latest air strikes. a total of at least 29 palestinians — some of them children — are now reported to have been killed in this latest outbreak of violence. earlier i spoke to our middle east correspondent, yolande knell, to get the latest on what's been happening this morning. earlier i heard distant blasts as the rockets were fired by palestinians in the gaza strip toward jerusalem, the first time that has happened since the full—scale conflict in gaza last may. they were intercepted by israel's missile defence system, but this was important symbo

andy, let me go to you in beijing. i mean, if i were sitting in beijing, i'd say what is going on here? what prompted this, a parent change in policy, and what was the visit supposed to achieve? i mean, they, you know, i've always said, you know, a trip. okay, what do you want to do? what enact what kind of policy that is left completely empty? we have no idea other than it was just a stunt, and you don't do stance like that and a very sensitive area of the world. so i mean from your perspective there in beijing, how do you see things? well peter, i certainly hope that is daniel said that it does turn out to be a stunt war. some farewell tour for an over the hill politician. ah, but i think a darker and perhaps an alternative and realistic explanation of this is that this is a consistent repudiation of the corner loan of china us relations. and this puts us on a very, very dangerous pass that i've described as the equivalent of the july crisis that served as the prelude to world war one. i did that said, i mean the gun

i think it would only play to beijing's advantage. what we will do instead is to continue to fly, sale and operate wherever international law allows us and that includes in the taiwan straight and we will continue to stand by our allies and partners in the region. i think there is a lot of confidence in the u.s. commit and. >> fox news? >> he asked whether there was a new assessment as to whether china is willing to take taiwan militarily within two years. dr. kahl: no. how long do you assess that russia can sustain this >> dr. kahl:. i cannot answer with a high degree of certainty and a lot will depend on the political decisions that vladimir putin will make as to whether he can continue to recruit and send additional forces to the front and whether he was willing to engage in national mobilization or some other effort. he has tried to describe the invasion as a special military operation and is hesitant to mobilize his entire country toward the effort. i don't know and a lot the hands on decisions they will make. the russian militar

beijing warned the u.s.y that nancy pelosi shouldn't visit. >> we would like to remind the u.s. once again that we stand in combat readiness. the people's liberation army will not sit idly by. china will take firm and strong countermeasures to safeguard its sovereignty and territorial integrity. >> what those strong countermeasures might be, china says it will wait and see. taiwan's foreign ministry said it had ncomment on pelosi's travel plans, but speculation is still swirling. >> there was a similar message given by beijing after a long discussion between president joe biden and president xi jinping where china's president warned the u.s., if she makes this trip, if you play with fire, you will get burned. >>>> there are widespread reports in the u.s. that officials in the biden administration are unhappy with a visit. president biden said the u.s. military believes a visit is not a good idea right now, but there are others who say it is not uncommon for conessional leaders to travel to taiwan. the people

so we've heard a reaction out of beijing. we've heard a bit of muffled reaction out of washington dc. what about the rest of the world? it's rather quiet at the moment we have any other international reaction to that. yeah, you know, is interesting because earlier this week when policy was in singapore, the premier, there actually said that the focus needed to be on maintaining stable relations between the united states and china. that that was something that was in all of their best interest in the region. at the same time, we've also heard from moscow a spokesperson for the kremlin, spoke out and referred to this trip as extremely provocative, noting that russia stands with china and also not moscow understands that frustration that is coming to from beijing when it comes to this visit in the fact that the united states has continued to carry out. so certainly a lot of moving parts here, a lot to keep an eye on, and these consequences will likely be felt long after this visit is over. do you think any chance of nancy pelosi

that was 6 months ago when she declared there's no limits partnership in beijing. the launch winter olympics. it's clear that policy makers in gauging, they are invested in this relationship and given everything that we've seen rush to do, whether that you know, war crimes, every day of the violence and violation. 16 on the ground in ukraine. none of that had really think of damage to the partnership. and the main reason for that is that a thing know that it needs a superpower like russia, one with actually a security council seat. and it's nuclear power, nuclear weapons, and an influence around the world. on it side, if it's going to grow insulin and especially if it's going to revenge what it see that you are in roach, meant on its interest. right. you spoke about taiwan as well. let us talk a bit about that. now there's a lot of views that the way it comes to the lesson that china is drawing from the ukraine war. but very specifically, read is it is china watching the western response to russia as an indicator of what could be install for it if it invaded taiwan

deputies, it must be assumed that vilnius ruined relations with beijing completely. well, another exotic guest. in the status of already prime minister, well, where else is the head of the government of saint vincent and the grenadines of a tiny island state with a population of 100,000 the person was honored with such honors, from which, in joy, he even spoke about his readiness to participate in the development of a strategy for beijing's military deterrence , so far only the united states has to be restrained, which from the stands says one thing, but does everything exactly, on the contrary, the evidence of american policy in chinese honshushibao was clearly portrayed by hunt's russians if pilosipe , the truth worries about democracy, the groin of a man, it is better for her to pay visits to afghanistan, iraq, syria, or where she can express remorse for her death at the hands of the us military hundreds of thousands of civilians, the whole thing is considered, even by the americans themselves, in washington’s willingness to come to terms with chinese leadership,

andy, let me go to you in beijing. i mean, if i were sitting in beijing, i'd say what is going on here? what prompted this, a parent change in policy, and what was the visit supposed to achieve? i mean, they, you know, i've always said, you know, a trip. okay, what do you want to do? what enact what kind of policy that is left completely empty? we have no idea other than it was just a stunt, and you don't do stuff like that and a very sensitive area of the world. so i mean from your perspective there in beijing, how do you see things? well peter, i certainly hope that is daniel said that it does turn out to be a stunt war. some farewell tour for an over the hill politician. ah, but i think a darker and perhaps an alternative and realistic explanation of this is that this is a consistent repudiation of the corner loan of china us relations. and this puts us on a very, very dangerous pass that i've described as the equivalent of the july crisis that served as the prelude to world war one. i did that said, i mean the gun,

nancy pelosi touched on in taipei, despite numerous warnings from beijing. china strongly condemned the visit to saying it with a looky defend its territorial integrity facing, urges us against violations of the one. china principal china strongly urges the united states to stop playing, which i one card and using to i want to contain china. and people in taiwan itself are anxious over the u. s. health because trip, members of the public told us the u. s. just wants to square to power and influence . not help them. for the low see touch, china's bottom line, she touched the red line. so both the u. s. and china have to take actions accordingly. they just use, tie one to get our attention for domestic market. low fees visit will attention to cross the taiwan straits, which has no benefit at all for the taiwan people. with it's just gone when i am in moscow and 6 am in taipei, taiwan, which is way nancy pelosi is hold up in her hotel room. we're coming to life on the russian capital. i'm policy and for myself on the team here. welcome. china has begun military trolls and areas surrounding

we are prepared to manage what beijing chooses to do.e same time, we will not engage in sabre—rattling. we will continue to operate in the seas and the skies of the western pacific as we have done for decades. we will continue to support taiwan. that's john that'sjohn kirby that's john kirby i that'sjohn kirby i want to show you the image because we have the family photo if i can call it that members of congress who have accompanied nancy pelosi on this particular visit, standing there, shoulder to shoulder with the president and her own team, is a picture of solidarity and support of one for the other but as i said a moment ago the flipside as it is a picture of antagonism as seen from the beijing perspective who have already called on the us ambassador to beijing, for a formal complaint about this meeting taking place. i've been speaking to lyle goldstein, he is director of asian engagement at defence priorities, and visiting professor at brown university, i wanted to find out from him what he made of this situation. i'm very concerned
