u. s. president joe biden invoke the defense production act. it requires suppliers of formula manufacturers to fulfill their orders before delivering to other customers. he also authorized special flights to import supplies from overseas are directed the department of defense and the department of health and human services to send aircraft planes overseas to pick up in from formula that meets us health and safety standards. so he can get on the store shelves faster. the shortage has sparked a search of interest at milk banks. mothers are increasingly coming here to feed their children with donated milk from other women. we were able to come here and get as many houses we needed to keep her fed and keep her growing on this task. and cod just wasn't any available. so it's been pretty scary to. she realized that he might not be able to teach her baby. great. so it's a public health crisis that could easily turn into a political crisis for the by the administration or the u. s. president will be hoping his executive action will end the shortage and

u. s. president. not here at the white house right now, heading to chicago to talk about domestic issues. but here in washington, this is definitely something on the white house is radar. given the fact that there are very close ties between israel and the united states that go back decades, the united states was the 1st country to recognize this real back in 1948 gives billions in military assistance. and we should point out that that is assistance that is being questioned now by some members of congress, including palestinian american rashid, a to leim who, who did tweet earlier question what the, you know, the relationship between the united states and, or israel, something she's been very vocal about repeatedly talking about the fact that she believes that not only was this a murder by israeli forces, but also that this is perhaps done allegedly with weapons paid for by the united states with 0 accountability. now we know that there is an investigation ongoing. we do know that there are disputes a

u. s. president's comments? 5, once again, i answer your question very directly and possibly not very desperately. he said that the united states does have commitment to the island of taiwan, which is true. but said the white house that very quickly. 2 qualifying that this is no change to the one china policy. i think there is a real concern in this part of the world that china will have been looking at what russia has done effectively taking unilateral action to change the status quo of a laboring entity. effectively sending in the tanks and china might, at some point be looking to do a willing to do the same with the island of taiwan, which he does regard as a breakaway territory or renegade island, which is ultimately always going to be part of china. now i think it's important for americans and that japanese allies here to put on this show to show a sense of strength. basically to say this is what happens if you take such as soon as you become a global pariah. you faced the sanctions of the international com

u. s. president is likely to underscore the importance of natives open door policy and the u. s. president. support of that and really it is important to also underscore that this is something that is bi partisan. in other words, not only does the democratic president joe biden support this, but also i, his republican rival, the top, a republican in the u. s. senate. mitch mcconnell, who we should point out was in stockholm, sweden over the weekend and really underscored his support that the goal was to see both finland and sweden admitted to nato as soon as possible. so of course we have to remember that the reason for this is russia's invasion of ukraine. and the other thing that is likely to be discuss at this meeting of these 3 leaders when they sit down here at the white house on thursday, is really the, the focus of all of this that is supporting ukraine. a, in the midst of expanding nato membership, president joe biden's condemned what he calls the poison of white supremacy. he's been in buffalo, new york forties, mad families of victims of the latest mass shooting. she

u. s. president biden's 1st stop in south korea, a computer chip plant by some so that could serve as a model for a multi 1000000000 dollar facility being built in the u. s. that underscores the importance of the semiconductor industry computer chips, power, modern technology for vehicles to artificial intelligence, but a global chip shortage. since the pandemic has affected the availability of many of these products. 3 quarters of global chip production comes from asia. the biden administration is now looking to shift some of that to the us. how we'll do that in my view is by working with close partners who do share or values like you would probably good career, secure more of what we need from our allies and partners and bolster our supply chain resilience. the move is also partly driven by china's drive for self sufficiency in ship production with the government pouring billions of dollars into the industry. for the u. s. to maintain its technological advantage, it has to invest in computer chips for south korea, a focal point of precedent biden's visit is an opportunity to strengthen

u. s. president is looking at possible executive action to come back on violence. why out? says joe biden, wants federal laws enacted by congress. but you'd also consider other measures we are looking at other executive actions that we can possibly do this president has done more executive actions at this point than any other president, but it's not up to him alone. he cannot do this alone. this is what you heard him say to to kelly oh, yesterday. and so congress needs to act so we can have federal law legislation on the books, so we can stop this epidemic that we're seeing across the country. meanwhile, legislation to bind the sale of handguns has been proposed in canada. prime minister just intruder says pans to tighten gun was already been in the works. but the recent math shootings in the us of fast tracked the crack down. catchy lopez had diane reports. it's been seen as the most ambitious proposal yet to restrict firearms in canada. prime minister justin trudeau describes it as a national freeze of hand gun ownership. what this means is that it will no longer be possi
