Fighter jets carrying life me cycles have been conducting monk strikes around, ty, one, the latest military drills have been described as strong punishment for the separatist acts of ty, ones independence forces. Ty, once military has mobilized its forces in response, the movers come, john stays out the tie ones new president light gene take took office, and cold on the mainland to stop making such threats. Lets bring in outside paid, corresponded thoughts on on. Is there a link between the drills and the new president taking office . Yes, span um, just as you mentioned there, china says that this is a strong punishment for the taiwan independence, separatist forces. And just 3 days ago, tat was a new president lighting to talk about taiwan with his official name as the republic of china, r o c, as a submarine, an independent country, and is not affiliated with the peoples republic of china, p r. C. The words were interpreted by badging, of lighting, the exposing, tie ones, independence attempt. So it doesnt just have a link between these, but the military drill is coming directly and lice, new role and speech. How does this compared to previous military post drink from paychecks . Well, from the scope and content, all the exercise that has to be on now so far, it is the 1st military exercise based on various stage of on invasion of taiwan. And the exercise subjects may include blockade operations with Foreign Countries and outline islands, and even offshore island, a sold operations. This is something that was not practiced in the practice, no to exercise. And if you look at the name of the exercise, its cold. United stored 2024 a which may be in there are a series of exercises and we cannot roll out of the possibility of a, b, and c in the future. So how high would you say the risk of further escalation . It . Well, not immediately so far there is no sign of rocket forest launching missiles by its currently difficult to predict whether the p o a will as i said to be and seen military exercise afterwards, as i mentioned. So this is one of this time, this one is a kind of unexpected. Com by action to conduct a start and Engagement Training for old personnel cope with future emergencies. So we can now observe its impact on timelines, economy and how tight 16. 00 Security Team respond. And we can also observe the u. S. We action and whether the u. S. Has to be informed and these are all key items for china to decide is to follow up actions and any solution on the horizon. Well, um from the tonys part i think theres um, kind of um, reaction is to see like how kind of will conduct its drills. So in the future, if there is a real war coming off, the intelligence may know how to respond and the real force will know how to respond in the future. So thats not a real solution, but i will have to see how it goes in these 2 days. The very latest day from data, always so, so on inside by thank you. Germany says it will not recognize a palestinian state for now. The countrys foreign minister says concrete steps towards the political solution to the conflict in the middle east needed. Instead. Germany is hoping for a 2 state solution negotiated by the use by these and palestinians that would lead to a separate state. All countries of both, its a recognized Palestinian Statehood following the october 7th terror attacks by how much that spots the war and guns that bard off from israel by fences and barriers. The palestinian territories will be formally recognized as a state by 3 more European Countries sustains ireland and norway choosing to support the palestinian push for sovereignty. A step they say towards peace by side of the time has come to move from words to action. That will tell the millions of innocent suffering palestinians that we are with 70, that there is hope to make it very clear that no matter how many walls or rectors no matter how many villages are bombed and no matter how many illegal settlements are built, the land in the identity of palestine will continue to exist in our hearts, in international legalities and in the future project in a letter, training and in harmony. And youll meet the new in the morning previously 139 of 193. You one countries recognize the state of palestine, latest signatories calling on others to do the same me and admits, therefore, and used to be with tens of thousands of debt, an injured we must keep alive. The only things that can provide to save home for both is right. You leave them tell us, then it will show those days that can live in peace with each other. Israel and palestine. Germanys foreign minister rejected unilateral recognition of Palestinian Statehood tablet and then the next morning i have repeatedly made it clear that the solution to this terrible situation that we are currently experiencing does not require a symbolic recognition which a political solution cannot. Because on a solution to the middle east conflict and a 2 state solution requires direct negotiations on both sides all by divide. Israels government also hit back no sound in up regarding a palestinian state. There are people who support this opinion and there are people who do not. But this is not the place nor the time now to come and you know, let our leave recognize a palestinian state from hot veterans. And any such decision arms is rarely sovereignty and its really security and we will not allow it to our order to recall our impasse orders back. Com. And we will take all measures to prevent that today, even though president included boss, the leader of the palestinian authority, welcome the recognition and called on other nations to quote, support the struggle of our people for liberation and independence. Matthew mole has the jump in perspective on this. Why hasnt germany go up behind this lakers campaign for Palestinian Statehood as well . Germany was caught off guard by this announcement. Then there was really no for wanting from those, those political leaders who made the announcement yesterday to the you partners. And what it did was it puts them in a difficult position, gemini, whose itself is having a historical obligation to be a strong child, lied to israel, but it also wants to be a bridge to piece in them. At least i know germanys position as we had is the palestine state who Palestinian Statehood should be recognized. That that should come as a result of a negotiated 2 state solution. That is essentially an agreement reached between these readings and palestinians. And so the german position is that it believes that recognition know kind of pre judges those negotiations. Im not quite clearly contrast with the comments we had from the leaders of those you countries yesterday believe that recognizing published in each state who was given pets as to those peace negotiations. How do other political body see this even germany . Well, i see, i think its fair to characterize the political instruments being kind of on the same page on this issue. We got some kind of a reaction yesterday from the head of the Foreign Affairs committee here in germany for the youre going to send me kind of a route to said quote, another victory for brutal and cynical terrorist. Thats how he depicted this decision from the island, nor we in spain elsewhere the most that may be that theres a change of tact. Ralph stigma assume youre figuring the social democrats on a familiar face to dw views, said the recognition of polish thing could be steps on the we to a suit to a 2 state solution. And while another junior colleague and paul them and said that germany should recognize policy and as part of abroad the you initiative is whats emphasizing that that is really those 2 positions of the minority view here in the political world. So what about the public students here in bowie and occupied the humble university yesterday . Thats right. Around can 50 like to be civil, keep i rooms at the university here in belen, well can have several 100 full tested upside and youd invest to management have agreed with 2 sets and protesters to accommodate a full test until this evening on thursday evening. And it really is least system a series of University Pro tests and in recent weeks and months they are showing support for palestinians on calling front end to the, to the warning garza and i think it reflects the kind of a charge them between the government position and support for us we have and the way the publics concerns about this conflict we see in the pools band that the majority of governments do think that these really, really treat to formation and gaza has gone too far, that the impact on civilians and gaza is unjustified, and this with the steps to undermine how complex this issue is for jim and leaders, as you know, with the very latest, the Political Correspondent here in building. Okay, lets take a quick look at some of the other stories making news. Columbia says it will open an embassy in ramallah in the palestinian territories.
