Funds from around the world gather in northern germany for the return the backend happy metal. Ah, im show gail. Welcome to the program. Dozens of rocket surface fired at israel from the gaza strip. Barrage comes after israel launched a series of strikes into garza earlier in the day. Israel says he was targeting the Islamic Jihad millicent group on that. It was eliminating what it called an imminent Threat Palestinian Authority st least 10 people were killed and dozens more injured. Israeli forces target and Apartment Building and gas. A city just one of many airstrikes launched into the coastal strip. Israel says the attacks were in response to an imminent threat from the palestinian Islamic Jihad group. The strikes come after Israeli Forces arrested a senior militant in the west bank early this week. Israel carried out the precise counter terrible ration against an immediate threat. Our fight is not was the people of gossip is lama jihad is in the ramen proxy that wants to destroy the state of israel and kill innocent israelis. The head of islam jihad is in an inter heron as we speak. We will do whatever it takes to defend our people. Ah, and Islamic Jihad commander was killed in the strikes, and the group vowed to retaliate. Ah, the airline, this is a declaration of all out war against the palestinian people. We will respond to that. This is a violation and disregard for all the efforts to to be made over the past days in order to restore camp. We dealt positively with these efforts, but the enemy was as usual, treacherous and carried out this rate. And now we clearly say that we will respond to this crime with all our might to had the dream of equilla ot and im an o as a 5 Year Old Girl is mourned. Fears of an escalation are rising. Palestinian militants fired rockets into israel as night fell. Well d, w s Tanya Kraemer is in jerusalem and gave me this update. While area sirens half gone off in several communities in cities and this south and center are of israel. After palestinian militant groups retaliated with rocket barrages, into our, the a south and the center of the country. There have been intersections by the iron dome, the Israeli Defense as system. Now this comes of course, as we heard also the report after is very launched. Air strikes into the gaza strip in the afternoon. So far, the Health Ministry in garza, the palace in house moves 3, puts the numbers of at 10 people killed. And among them a young child and also a Senior Commander of the Islamic Jihad, a smaller military infection in the gaza strip, which is rude by hamas and m over 55. 00 people are injured. But of course we are expecting this number to rise as also israel is continuing to carry out is twice as it says, against palestinian argy, Hard Military targets. Now we heard also the israeli prime minister, yellow p. Its speaking to the israeli public and basically saying, you know, this operation will take as long as it takes, isabel has also are called up 25000 or reservists in from the army or to have reinforced the troops around a garza put, you know, the are and dont system and opened up a bomb shelters, or amps and mainly in the areas surrounding of the gaza strip. Right. So this is, this is, this sounds like quite a significant mobilization, a what mores bruce had about this, this imminent threat, both israel said it was through defending itself wise, is happening now. While there has been a bill to our peer, our intentions and threats and warnings, but there were also mediation efforts by egypt. Now this comes on after a, israels military actually arrested, a Senior Leader off the Islamic Jihad in northern. Wes bang in the occupy west bank in jeanine. They have been a lot of rates are in the area by the military. And israel had said that they are anticipating some kind of retaliation by islamic edgy heart. And there have been mediation efforts between our, the militant factions and garza and israel through egypt and other players. But it didnt seem to have a, you know, made a difference right now because then we saw this either unexpected airstrikes by israel on our targets. Or this afternoon on garza and youve described what sounds like a significant mobilization of Israeli Forces to cease and desist risk escalating him to one another wall. Well i think its still too early to say whether this will be in or, or what israel usually cause an operation. Will it been all out war or will it be our days or weeks . I think the main thing its will be devastating. Our 4 civilians that will be again caught or you know, like multiple times a half in for was but of in our hammers, and got a m. As in israel for wasnt garza, the civilian population there. Lets not forget this is also a small territory. It has been blockaded or israel partly by egypt for, for almost 15 years now. So far as civilians there this will be very, very difficult. Theres a lot of warry as well as for civilians of course awesome the south of israel and would have to stay and year in their shelters. And so theres a lot of warry among our people here. I, you know, what will happen here in the next hours. Thank you for that tony crime in jerusalem. A china is to suspend corporation with United States on the issues, including military relations, Climate Change, and legal help and criminal matters. This is in response to the visits of us how speak at nancy pelosi to taiwan are the visits rage, beijing, which regards to self governing ireland as its territory. This latest announcement follows days of intensive Chinese Military drills and the waters surrounding the island. Ah, chinese missiles began striking the seas north, south and east of taiwan hours after u. S. How Speaker Nancy Pelosi left the island did not meet young, had a messiah chinese state. Television released video of war ships patrolling the Taiwan Strait for decades. An unofficial buffer zone between china and taiwan as fighter jets cruise the skies above air cover for the multiple no go danger zones declared by china in some of the busiest shipping lanes in the world. China has chosen to overreact and use speaker blows his visit as a pretext to increase provocative military activity in and around that i want straight blank in his, in cambodia for ministerial meeting of Southeast Asian nations. Although his chinese counterpart is also there, the lincoln says the to have no plans to meet. The fact is, the speakers visit was peaceful. There is no justification for this extreme, disproportionate and escal atory military response china seas. Taiwan is a breakaway province, which will eventually come under beijings control and as deeply opposed to any visits by foreign governments. Dont go where you, what china is defending is its own sovereignty and territorial integrity. What john is doing is safeguarding the basic norms governing international relations. And the common interests of most countries. Not interference in internal affairs is a most basic principle for maintaining peace and stability in our world. Through that she faced with the unprecedented scale of chinas reaction. Ty, one has put its military on alert and is staging Civil Defense drills across the Taiwan Strait on the chinese side. Taurus come to this coastal town, hoping to witness the military exercises. If indeed, china is a powerful country and it will not allow any one to offend its own territory, they take photos in front of a sign which reads the closest place of mainland motherland to ty, one island. Between we crossed the middle line of the Taiwan Strait with military exercises. Alamos flew over taiwan, which makes us feel another land is very strong and makes a certain taiwan return. Cannot be stopping. Can he insisted that chinas army says its so called joint blockage operation around taiwan. Well continue through to monday. Lets bring in a robert daily in the conversation. Hes the director of the Wilson CentersKissinger Institute on china and the United States. Welcome to welcome back to the w. When you and i spoke at the start of his week, he suggested that nancy pelosi, his visit, was essentially a general show of support for taiwan. Given that everything thats happened, would you say it was worth it . No, i dont think it, it was worth it. I think that she hadnt gone to taiwan. Would not now see these missiles flying over taiwan coming in to taiwan territorial seas and also flying into japan who said equinox. So this is a disproportionate escal atory response chain. This part, but its a predictable response and it could have been avoided. The trip hadnt been, may leave for a period time. Right. So, basing now ceasing cooperation with the u. S. And a number of important errors, including the ability, talks and Climate Change. How badly damaged are relations. I think they are quite severely damaged course they were in bad shape anyway, our military military talks are Climate Change talks. These were occasional, they were not being participated in very enthusiastically by the chinese side. So the actual cut off those talks in a week to week, month to month. Sense doesnt really signify much. But this already bad relationship now appears to be one step closer. I fear to the recognition both side persist in what they say theyre non negotiable interests. The logical conclusion of that is the end of formal diplomatic relations between the United States and china, which would be a major storage move. I think neither countrys interest, but that seems to be where things are headed at the moment. Its interesting you say that because im sick of i think you will. That doesnt seem to be any way sort of down from this for, for china now. Its may be probably coast the threats and its followed them through the themes no way to, to, to sort of go back to the old normal, which is you just outlined was really quite frosty anyway. Right. And the problem here is that the question of tiwana its status was always a foundational question in u. S. Charitable donations and 972, when nixon went to china. This was the question that the shanghai communicate attempted to solve dodge paper over. You could describe it whatever way you want, but a series of agreements were reached. They kept the peace in the region for about 50 years, and that allowed taiwan and china to develop count is still the key question. In that saying, i communicate. United states has acknowledged that people in taiwan and mainland china. Both thought that there was only one china and taiwan was part of it. That was key to china. You meant this, i dont think is any longer willing to acknowledge that because Congress Passed it was no longer true. The people who want themselves to those parties tie when hes not change. And the quick word them about the timing of this confrontation, we have mid term elections coming up in the us and the National Congress of the Chinese Communist party. Both of those in november and neither side wants to look week. Right. And that theres no good time for this to happen. And the point on the calendar we could post weight to factors in both countries that made it hard for them to compromise. Its more than usually difficult right now, but i dont think its an extraordinary time. I think thats been over plate. Yes, she doesnt want to get look week as he looks to be anointed for a 3rd term, but he wouldnt want to look week anyway, he has never wanted to look week is quite consistent to that. And president , by who has been concerned us from day one of his administration of the republicans painting him as soft on china. So these are really ongoing conditions not matters at the moment. Good talking to thanks for joining us at robert data from the wilson sentence Kissinger Institute on china and the United States. They are to ukraine where president zalinski has criticized human rights organisation. Amnesty international afraid claim that ukraine had endangered civilians by basing troops in residential areas, residents landscape quite to the accusation to victim blaming. Meanwhile, there are reports of heavy fighting in ukraines south close to the Russian Health city of hassan and ukrainian citizens, ukrainian civilians in the east internets region. A flat because of constant russian shelly, a train station and annette, evacuating the old and the young pool exhausted westward. Ordinary ukrainians caught up in fierce fighting and forced to leave their homes with whatever they can carry. Miss, but you see were from a village near lisa chance kits between the loo, hanson donuts regions. Our village has been ruined. Theres no gas, no water, no electricity. We were sitting in the basement for a month. The army bought us here to the and i believe the government has ordered civilians to lease combat zones in don etzky. But the danger may not be just from russian attacks. Amnesty international accuses ukraine of basing troops and populated areas, putting civilians at risk and violating the laws of war. Keith was furious. He assured if someone prepares a report in which the victim and the aggressor are allegedly the same in some way. If information about the victim is analyzed, while something the aggressor does is ignored, this cannot be tolerated in ways. I understand that this particular piece of work because its critical of the behavior of the, of Ukrainian Forces is not appreciated by the ukrainian authorities. And by many others, but the fact is that you know, International Law and applies to everyone. Ukrainian soldiers face a grinding battle to keep the remaining regions of eastern dumbass out of russian control for another and to avoid shelling and the total was on us. So lets go to the exit. We sit in the trenches that the enemy shelves, us and we cant even stick our heads out of it. Now there are no small arms fights as they used to be today. It is an artillery battle evil as you just jump into the trench and wait for the strike. Away from the front lines, the evacuation of civilians from dannetta continues. The question is whether that will be enough to keep them safe. Vladimir putin says he wants to burst trade and economic ties with turkey. The russian president was speaking at a meeting with turkish president reggie tarp erred about, and the black, famous sort of sultry president early on said he hoped the talks would open a different page immunizations. With moscow is to put him found with turkish liter for helping to brook a deal along the safe passage of ukrainian grain exposed through the black sea. The meeting comes as 3 more ships carrying grain of left. You cried pug. Lets have a look at this with david la board who is a Senior Research fellow at the International Food policy research institute. Welcome back to d w. So the board more grain ships leaving ukraines port. You must be very pleased lets say thats a good start, especially after the beginning 2 weeks ago and on the next day after that, what sign or this i was by my side. So its good news. Now after 2 weeks we just are all ships are less than 100000. 00 tons of grades mainly made. So its not a lot. Ok, so what do we need to get that out to a normal times . How many ships would be leaving, carrying grain it will be more like 6. So the at least. Right. So just to give you the normal time ukraine exports 6000000. 00 ton of grains a month. So you see 200000 done a day. And now after 2 weeks, we have not even do with the hands of what hes done normally doing when the right and you said to stop there, this is if this is a good start, im what are your main concerns about the operation of this deal . So now we 1st, its really good that we can have access to all the details of the deal. It does not really been published the Public Domain surveys. I think a lot of detail that needs to be fought and looked up. But the key thing that we want into a very, that scales. So obviously we already want that the ships that are in ukraine today and leave and our about 40 ship that can carry grades. But even if all the time youre going to leave the country, it will be just 1000000 ton of grains. When the koreans to want to get out of the country more than 20 millions before the next semester. And then we need to get it to go back back and forth between ukraine and theyre not destination. And basically we need commercial activities to start to take off. And so we need a re dos to have trust in the system and feel safe to conduct operation. Right. And as the system gears up, how long will it actually take for that for that grain. One say read this destination like wait, we had a ship right . And thats reach, thats on its way to elaborate on how long once it reaches its destination before that great actually gets on to the market so far, a lot of the traditional definition of ukraine that include completing the middle east or in north africa. Its a bali banana, its a matter of, you know, 10 days as we have seen between the time where the see if youre going to leave and arrive what were seeing currently that infection time is a result. Maybe because of a just a few ships. So thats good news, i so things can move pretty pretty fast, but that you know, working for mrs because on the ground, we still need to see how this is going to be done in the gate. And once again, are we going to be ships going to ukraine to, to be loaded right now . I think people are pretty happy to get their seats out of your brain starting to, since its 2 grand would be a different perception of risk. And it would be good to see if we went over it does want to take this was good talking to you. Thank you for joining us at that the Board Senior Research fellow at the International Food policy research institute.
