i m charles pain in for neil cavuto, this is your world. to greg palkot in london. greg? taiwan is under fire or the area around it. it all follows that high profile visit by speaker pelosi. china conducting unprecedented long range live fire precision missile strikes on a variety of targets in the waters nearby taiwan. the drills are the biggest held in that region according to that stop. china claims taiwan as its own. some of the six target zones are as close as ten miles to its coastline. missiles flew over the island before splashing down. exercises include ships, planes and drones. officials are calling this irresponsible. an invasion of its territorial space. earlier today, we heard from john kirby. he said the u.s.s. ronald reagan carrier group woe remain in the region to keep a lid on things. here s more of what he had to say. china launched 11 ballistic missiles towards taiwan which impacted to the northeast, the east and southeast of the island. we condemn th
Apparently did not, you know, feel like that necessitated him doing any taking of the action. so and then, you know, his reaction in recent days, he came strongly to rob porter s defense calling him a man of strong integrity when the allegations first broke and then even after, you know, the black eye photos that shocked so many of us, he said he was shocked by the allegations as he put it even though he s known about them for months. whitous officials according to your reporting, white house officials don t believe john kelly s story that he took action as soon as he realized these were credible and within 40 minutes made sure this guy was out because he takes domestic violence so seriously. that s the story according to your report, he tried to sell to white house staff this morning. at least some of them rejected
