China holds new round of war games around Taiwan
Manage episode 445162479 series 1269408
Taiwan's president Lai Ching-Te has been holding emergency meetings with security chiefs, as China has conducted what are thought to be its biggest war games yet around the self-governing island. The Chinese government has always insisted that Taiwan is part of its own territory. But last Thursday, in a speech in Taipei marking Taiwan's National Day, President Lai insisted that Beijing had "no right to represent" the island. Taiwan's key ally, the United States, said China's actions were unwarranted and risked escalation.
Also in the programme: a Hezbollah drone attack killed four Israeli soldiers at an Israeli army base south of Haifa. Meanwhile, in Gaza, Hamas-run authorities say an Israeli attack on a school used as a shelter killed 22 people on Sunday, including 15 children; and a NASA spacecraft on the hunt for the extra-terrestrial is due to blast off today.
