WASHINGTON (Reuters) -U.S. President Joe Biden said U.S forces would defend Taiwan in the event of a Chinese invasion, his most explicit statement on the issue, drawing an angry response from China that said it sent the wrong signal to those seeking an independent Taiwan.
Asked in a CBS 60 Minutes interview broadcast on Sunday whether U.S. forces would defend the democratically governed island claimed by China, he replied: "Yes, if in fact, there was an unprecedented attack."
Asked to clarify if he meant that unlike in Ukraine, U.S. forces - American men and women - would defend Taiwan in the event of a Chinese invasion, Biden replied: "Yes."
The CBS interview was just the latest time that Biden has appeared to go beyond long-standing stated U.S. policy on Taiwan, but his statement was clearer than previous ones about committing U.S. troops to the defend the island.

[HEADING=2]8 million ordered to evacuate as Typhoon Nanmadol slams across Japan: 'Raining like never before'[/HEADING]
More than 8 million people in southern and western Japan have been ordered to evacuate as Typhoon Nanmadol roars across the island nation with historic wind and waves.
The [Japan Meteorological Agency said]('https://www.jma.go.jp/jma/press/2209/18a/houdouhappyou_202209181610.html') it was "raining like never before" in Miyazaki, where some areas saw more than 15 inches of rain in the 24 hours through Sunday afternoon. Power lines tumbled and hundreds of thousands of homes and businesses were dark as the storm slowly rolled northward over Kyushu.

In Kagoshima, thousands took shelter at evacuation centers. Wind speeds of almost 115 mph were reported in parts of the region.
It was the first time the agency has issued a special typhoon warning for an area outside from Okinawa Prefecture. Flights were canceled and train service, the lifeblood of Japanese travel, was suspended in the region.
Prime Minister Fumio Kishida said he had mobilized police, firefighters, the Self-Defense Forces and other agencies.

If he defends Taiwan the way he defends the border, we'll be speaking Chinese in no time!!!

The WH, which apparently isn't him - had to walk back the comments almost immediately.
The policy hasn't changed they say.
[HEADING=2]Migrant crisis – live: DeSantis could face DoJ investigation over stunt as mother dies in NYC shelter[/HEADING]
Democratic officials and immigration activists have condemned [Florida]('https://www.independent.co.uk/topic/florida') Governor [Ron DeSantis]('https://www.independent.co.uk/topic/ron-desantis') for organising flights with [migrants]('https://www.independent.co.uk/topic/migrants') from [Texas]('https://www.independent.co.uk/topic/texas') to Martha’s Vineyard as a dangerous political stunt, alleging that the migrants were coerced to board the planes with false promises of financial and employment assistance.
Lawyers for migrants have called for the US attorney in Boston and the Massachusetts attorney general to open a criminal investigation, arguing the migrants “were induced to board airplanes and cross state lines under false pretenses.”
US Attorney Rachael Rollins has asked for the US Department of Justice to respond to a request for a potential inquiry.
Meanwhile, a mother seeking asylum in the US died by suicide while staying in a New York City shelter on Sunday, according to officials. It was not immediately clear whether she was among a group of migrants recently bused to the city from Texas, but Mayor Eric Adams said she was “traumatized by this whole experience” and that the “failure was the governors that sent people on multi-day bus rides.”
[HEADING=1]Massachusetts response: America at its best?[/HEADING]
Gov. Charlie Baker ordered shelter and humanitarian support be provided at Joint Base Cape Cod in cooperation with the Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency and other officials. And 125 National Guard Members are aiding the effort.
Fernandes said the welcoming response being provided the migrants by his state reflects the best of what America can be.
"There is nothing tough about using women and children and families as your political tools," Fernandes said on MSNBC. "Ron DeSantis is a coward."

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — A U.S. aircraft carrier is to visit South Korea this week for its first joint training with South Korean warships in five years, officials said Monday, in an apparent show of force against increasing North Korean nuclear threats.
The USS Ronald Reagan aircraft carrier and its battle group will arrive at a southeastern South Korean naval base on Friday for a combined training meant to boost the allies' military readiness and to show "the firm resolve by the Korea-U.S. alliance for the sake of peace and stability on the Korean Peninsula,” the South Korean navy said in a statement.
It would be the first such joint drills involving a U.S. aircraft carrier near the peninsula since 2017, when the U.S. sent three aircraft carriers including the Reagan for naval drills with South Korea in response to North Korean nuclear and missile tests, according to the South Korean Defense Ministry.
The carrier’s arrival comes after North Korea recently passed a new law designed to authorize the preemptive use of nuclear weapons in certain conditions, in a move that apparently shows its increasingly aggressive nuclear doctrine. Earlier this year, the North test-launched a slew of nuclear-capable ballistic missiles capable of reaching both the U.S. mainland and South Korea.
