as western states try to gain a foothold in the pacific pro western political powers in taiwan or losing influence after the pro independence party suffered a defeat in the islands mid term elections. the taiwanese democratic party has just had its worst result in the last 20 years. this led to its current leader announcing her resignation as the parties, chairwoman, the main opposition party will now lead the government, which supports closer ties with mainland china. earlier with senior research fellow at the center for china and globalization, andy moke, who says shyness, stayed consistent despite political moves by the west. well, i think this certainly is not in the interest of the canadian people. i'm the only positive i think that can come from this is the absence of a negative. we see a lot of hesitation of remarks by dutch government officials about a s m l. but i think europe in general is adopting a much more pragmatic and realistic. why think in all of these issues, china's demonstrated a remarkable restraint and pragmatism in that it said consistently, um and you know, this is very different than we see other countri

while western states are trying to gain a foothold in the pacific pro western political powers and ty, one have lost influence. as the pro independence party suffered a defeat in the islands mid term elections. the taiwanese democratic party was just as worse result in the last 20 years, and that's led to its current leader announcing her resignation as the parties. chairwoman, the main opposition party will not lead the government, which supports closer ties with mainland china. well it's a pleasure to welcome on to the program now on the mock ellie's a senior research fellow office center for china and globalization. a lot going on on the isn't there in terms of canada's indo pacific strategy. first off canada. it's not exactly close to the indo pacific region that it's so focused on now. what's the interests they have there? well, i think you're right that they are. well, let me put it this way to say that canada is a pacific nation. certainly, i think makes some sense on because canada is very reliant on exports and china is one of the most important markets for many countries around the world. with that being said, i think a canada is

postman firmly in paris, his pockets his main opponent was reuben, or nearby leader of the pro independence party, the u. p. c. o no be clearly understood the trap of francis quasi democratization. he demanded true independence voice country. even at the united nations on monday, i believe she was sure i read in her classroom to judge con, roster to stronger courses. we're about to do much. i'll really good. what is rocky? oh frank, god himself. so they're going to pull it watered, and if on gospel, primitive got wounded and god keep enough, he could conceal his buckle home. it had on your roof blue. lucy stem, neo colonial. oh said the u. p. c was close to the communist party and represented everything that france was against a kind of african get mean, that must be destroyed. the french high commissioner in cameroon pierre miss math refused to negotiate with communists. he was a former member of the free french and had fought in indo china traumatized by that defeat. he had one simple aim to destroy the u. p. c, and neutralize its leader. rubin em nearby was a wanted man with the help of the ca

the greens alongside the snp formed a pro-independence party in the scottish parliament and said, weourt decision but scotland's future must be determined by the people of scotland. we also heard from the u.k. prime minister rishi sunak. >> let me start by saying we respect a clear and definitive ruling of thsupreme court of the united kingdom. i would say to the honorable gentlemen, i'm looking forward to also seeing the moderator in scotland tomorrow. i think the people of scotland want us to be fixing the major challenges that we collectively face. maryam: let's take a look at how this may play out in scotland's next election. >> the snp do not quite have a marity here in scottish parliament, but with the scottish greens, they do have a majority in terms of people who would like to see independence, see that referendum. she did not make any mention of that this morning. she was very much talking about a next u.k. election, which she would see as being the first one. i think that is what she is focusing on, but i would imagine, behind the scenes, what we are n privy to, i would ima

treat the next general election as a single issue election, a de facto referendum on scottish independence. there are logical difficulties with that because the snp and other pro—independence partiesuch as the scottish green party may choose to campaign for a general election on that basis, but other parties, prounion parties may choose not to engage and decide they want to focus their campaigns on devolved issues such as health and education. we expect to hear from such as health and education. we expect to hearfrom nicola sturgeon later on today, and we expect to see some pro—independence rallies from as far north as orkney down to dumfries and, of course, here outside the scottish parliament as well. ., ., “ outside the scottish parliament as well. ., ., , ., ~ ,, well. how do you think the snp will frame its response _ well. how do you think the snp will frame its response to _ well. how do you think the snp will frame its response to this? - well. how do you think the snp will frame its response to this? for - frame its response to this? for example, make it say that the democratic will of the people is being subverted if not subverted, not listen to because in the scottish p

i just have to connect ms. 20 from one point i feel the digital west and 2021 pro—independence parties. so i'm not sure that is getting those figures from what i would recollect. no, that's not. but not one to be the one to tell us how the referendum and the timetable that we set, unfortunately, that is not an option, is not the only option that we have. and probably if it scotland to have the say not because the option of setting a statement 11:30. but what that's we do as well create a sense of urgency well ignite the independence we're going to see demonstrations in every single major city and scotland's two and a 5:30 tonight and the people of scotland and voice will not be ignored that if we're scotland democratic were elected to a scottish parliament this time dependent the majority scottish and ps at westminster support independence the majority of scottish people reject , the tories and reject reject, the tories and reject the and now they know what the supreme court has done as they have said that we can't leave a government that scotland hasn't voted for without their permiss

similar stories with pro-russian parties and the defense of pro-russian narratives, so i am very pleased that our society eh- at a very high cost, now defending its future, its independenceerstands that similar similar m-m similar integration of the fifth column directly into ukrainian sports and er representatives of which they will be on the international arena. this is simply unacceptable at the moment. moreover, we are literally now in the hot stage of the war with russia. the ministry of foreign affairs. well, it turns out that these people are the regional background of his pzzhnym. they still remain in the nok, unfortunately, that's why you saw my publication yesterday what am i leaving? that is, this is a mini-protest. i believe that all people who have an opinion about the ukrainian position should do the same in the same way, relatively speaking, show their point of view and their position regarding what is happening. at the moment, with the national olympic committee, maybe you are waiting for someone to react to this, the government, for example, if you understand the situation, i think that the representatives of the government are aware of what happened. an

usually in the mid-terms from 2006 to 2018 the party out of power carried independents by double digits and over a majority. this time democrats won independents 49-47. if you were a pro-choice independent you were more motivated to vote. you don't have the same motivators for crime and economy. looking forward to 2024. a tough senate map for democrats. a tough senate map for republicans this time. more importantly, harris, joe biden and kamala harris can't tell joe biden and kamala harris please don't campaign with us. they will need to be out there for their own campaigns. so they are stuck -- the democrats ar >> harris: the next time we get together we'll talk about georgia. we're inching our way closer to the runoff. that race matters, too. you mentioned a 50/50 possibility for republicans. that's how you get there and it would be 51 for democrats if you don't get there. with herschel walker. we'll get into that. great to see you. thank you very much for getting us started. a little bit later i'll be joined by one of the house -- brand-new house republicans, congressman elect john james of michigan's 10th congressional district. we'll get into everything with him.

and the rest unaffiliateed so we kind of built in pro-normal party coalition as my nom named it back in the primary and we're very focused on accumulating those frustrated republicans, those independents, that want people to focus on jobs and want people to focus on water and want people to focus on health care for the civilians as well as veterans. >> is it surprising that this case is as close as it is? >> it is amazing. it shows you that there is, you know, tim ryan lost this race in ohio but he talked about the exhaustive majority of people who just want normal rules to apply, want truth to matter, and that, you know, it's had a resurgence and the fact that lauren boebert in that kind of a district, that red of a district, can be on the ropes, it is a very positive, you know, i'm sure we're going to have a lot of machinations, like you know, take years and years to come out of this, to sort all of this roiling out and it's a big deal and i don't know how long this will last, but you see republicans starting to blame trump, you see maybe even an orchestrated effort, in terms of the murdoch enterprise, "the wall street journal" editorialized against him, the new york post has had a

summer independent online media outlets. cray and sca pravda revealed their identities, dubbing them to monaco battalion. some were members of ukraine's pro russia party, which was outlawed in the summer. is it a law in north him? all these people were not only part of the corrupt to lead to this that says are law. they're also responsible for the war in ukraine is off because they called on russia to come to ukraine are in our view, they are truly responsible for this catastrophe disc, saturday, the cisco that'll actually deliver dell anake. santa passover have no ties to these which ukrainians. this is is nice, is allowed the french ukrainian cultural center to used as property free of charge . here, frontiers. look after refugees, providing psychological counseling to children, traumatized by war donations, pile up next door. but the cultural center needs plenty of space to look after ukrainian children and teach them french outside ukrainian, mothers and grandmothers wait in line to receive donations. they're allowed to come here once a week. every one has registered. those and need can get private donations and groceries paid for by the welfare state like a few cans of sar

pro normal party coalition as my mom named it back in the primary. we're very focused on just accumulating the frustrated republicans, those independents that want people to focus on jobs, health care forcivilians as well as veterans and not spend most of their time traveling around the country down in mar-a-lago, florida. >> what would you bring home to your district? we know boebert doesn't do legislation. she does theatrics and stuff. what would you concretely want to bring home to the third district if you are, in fact, elected. i'm a big fan of the caucus. in the house of representatives, 29 republicans and 29 democrats. i want to be one of the bipartisan democrats and work on things. my number one concern in our district, number two is ag, ranching, farming. three is to make sure we have a safe and secure independent energy. we have to make sure we make that transition to morey knuble energy. i can drive it. >> if you win do you expect her to concede or fight it? >> i would assume if past is pro log, she'll probably do battle. that generates money. that's all part of the angertainment industry. out of respect for the voters, i wouldn't think that

you look at the last scottish parliamentary election, the most recent electoral test of public opinion in scotland, pro—independence supporting partiesom than do not and also every poll you've seen the last probably 6 to 9 months is that the have no interest in seeing a referendum on nicola sturgeon's timetable . on nicola sturgeon's timetable. why? because they're worried about electricity bills. because they've got an operation has been cancelled and they're in a waiting. one in seven scots currently in a waiting list. right and this leads to the priorities that matter to people . therefore, what do you make nicola sturgeon's indication they would make the next general election another vote , another election another vote, another mandate on the issue , mandate on the issue, independence, and that she said, would be the real test. i think that's unspeakably arrogant. i don't think it's for a single to tell the public of country what an election is about. that's what they do. the public give , what they do. the public give, us, our instructions. it's for them to decide . you don't get to them to decide. you don't get to say this is

the scottish greens . they're also scottish greens. they're also pro—independence alex partytheir votes would be counted as well which is a little bit strange given the ill feeling that has between nicholas sturgeon and alex salmond. so i'm not sure they have to shift a platform in the election campaign see that happening somehow. so yeah you're right. even when and they've been riding high the snp themselves never had 50% and that's basically because scottish politics is so split down the middle. scottish public opinion is much 5050 on independence and even if they were to get over that 50% threshold, there's no obligation on the uk government to accept what say passing and international community is. well, probably would want to a bulk any suggestion that they may run behind scotland against westminster . yeah i would throw westminster. yeah i would throw all sorts of questions as well being just as i say, a huge political gamble and she's not going to give up, is she? by the look of it, she's just going to stop. kevin, we'll leave it there. you much indeed. there. you very
