The Newshour team is in Taiwan covering the presidential election. We hear reaction to the victory of the ruling Democratic Progressive Party's leader, William Lai. He's promised to protect the island from Chinese intimidation. We discuss the implications for relations with China who still see Taiwan as part of their territory.

Also on the programme, on the hundredth day of the war with Israel and Hamas, we talk to one woman with relatives still held hostage in Gaza. And we go to Denmark where Queen Margrethe is signing the official declaration of her abdication.
