US-China tensions: Beijing hits out as Pelosi arrives in Taiwan
Mrs Pelosi said her trip did not violate China's sovereignty
US House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi has become the most senior US politician to visit Taiwan in 25 years, despite China warning that Washington would "pay the price" if she visited the island.
Beijing warned it would respond to any potential visit from Pelosi, who has not been backed by the White House to visit Taiwan.
The first grain ship to depart Ukraine since Russia's invasion - The Razoni, has arrived at Turkey's Bosphorus strait.
The vessel which is carrying 26,000 tonnes of corn, will be inspected on Wednesday morning before continuing its journey to Lebanon.
