the the you watching the w newscomers you live from berlin, at least to 9 are dead, and hunger is more injured after a powerful earthquake rocks. taiwan rescue cruise search for survivors after the wake topples buildings and knocked out power. the biggest quake in 25 years severely shapes the island and triggers through nami warnings in nearby countries. also coming up on the show nato's foreign ministers meet them. brussels aid for ukraine is at the top of the agenda with further discussions on making support for care of less dependence on the united states. the

i'm clear, richardson, welcome. a massive earthquake has hit taiwan, causing damage and knocking out power to tens of thousands of people. it is the strongest earthquake in 25 years and was centered near the city of quality inn on taiwan eastern coast. at least 9 people have been killed and more than 900 confirmed injured government officials say over 70 p 4 craft, after dozens of buildings and tunnels collapsed. the powerful, quick initially prompted tsunami warnings for japan and the philippines. but those were later withdrawn. as the reading spring morning and type a interrupted by the biggest us quite to strength, taiwan in 25 years. this once i once brung an east coast, the city of quantity and was west, hates. the folding, rocks killed hika and violent shaking his damaged dozens of buildings. some were

left on the verge of collapse, which shocked residents warning each other not to touch the straight electric wires . there's nothing we could do. everything fell down. everything collapsed. time once more, the trees assisting, ongoing search and rescue operations, but efforts to being made more challenging by frequent talk to show to you since the main quaker have been stronger than magnitude 600, more expected in the coming days. time once president search the public and emergency response teams to remain cautious watching, i'd like to ask you to continue to pay close attention to the situation in various places and initiate various contingency measures to protect the safety of the people and the power from from a sure gets to know me evacuation warnings in japan and the philippines. some waves hit japan, south west and ok now prefecture within an hour of the quake. good morning's release. lifted in both countries with no major damage reported to this. james, trader, and type pay. explain the challenges facing rescue workers. yeah. what's the context?

this is a city on taiwan eastern coast. you story my report that some of the imagery of the geography within the coastline and what it looks like. this is an area where a lot of these clear space is really dramatic. their face is kind of full into the sea. and this is why we're hearing now. reports lights are in today. um that some 50 people are missing. it amounts and us national park. it just north of wiley and actually and rescue operations to to find those people who are ongoing. this is the city that i'm one of the cities as most prior to us craigs in taiwan. and again, this is why the majority of emergency response results is it going to be really channels this evening, given that this is where the majority of people for, for example, are still trumps under the rubble all located. and it's also of course, um where the, the majority of tests have been reported. again, as i mentioned in that report, that reports off the shots and continue have continued during today. we've had some

more than 50 or so in the 4 hours. and we did the off the quade and authority. so i, i'm wondering, analogy and caution that time, more off the source could come in the coming days complicating the rest of your efforts further. now taiwan lies on the pacific ring of fire, a well known for being an earthquake hot spot. and as a result, it does have measures in place to protect against them. how well did preparations hold off in this like yeah, what is a rightly points out of high one that has a very well the world's response mechanism to this type of natural disaster. it's one of the most size indicate active regions in the well to the very use of this type of activity. it will be, it may be known on the scale that we seen today. i really did spring into action today. we've had done those high ones present, saying that the ministry was going to be dispatched to these areas. and of course, i mean this is something that it's high one of the time. so it's a really learn from past experiences. restoring 1999. this is

a really prince columbus to taiwan, where i really passed last week about the same, not going to be sold today, killed some, 2000 people and left tons and tons of thousands of buildings damaged. and it was ready also that moment that we so most stringent regulation come into force in taiwan for quite proof infrastructure. and you know, although we have seen a pretty significant degree of damage today, it's fat to say the, you know, without those experiences without bots in building knowledge, that's why one has to deal with this type of natural disaster. the situation could have been much worse. and what kind of international response have we seen while a number of countries are really concerned that they were going to be in some, in some way implicated in the immediate off them off. all of this i was quite a bit soft credit was powerful enough, but it was folks in shanghai. and of course, as i mentioned that in that reports you know, me, evaluations of warnings were issued in japan and the philippines again later

withdrawn. and it seems that no major damage has been reported in either of those countries, but of course, the attention already time. so those, those rescue efforts in taiwan a number of countries have said that they're willing to provide disaster relief to taiwan. if the government to says it's required. thank you so much for that is james at cheater for us and type pay for ministers from nato countries are debating a 100 a 1000000000 euro fund for ukraine. had a meeting in brussels. the proposed funds would help bolster cube defenses over the next 5 years. it is part of a push for the alliance to take over the us led to group that coordinates west in shipments to ukraine. data was seeking to reduce its dependence on washington, where a $60000000000.00 ukrainian aid package has been installed in the us congress for months. let's hear now from nato secretary general against oldenburg. the crew is on running out of curts. they're running out of munition. so we need to step

up now unsure of support is built to last. today, allies have agreed to move forward with planning for the great today to roll in coordinating security systems. training. the details will take shape and the weeks to call but make no mistake. you crank and rely on the to support now on for a long hold. and let's hear now from our brussels bureau chief, alexandra phenomena to get her take on you and still some breaks comments. this is i think that's what we heard today from us talking back and his press conference is a small victory from for him. because as we understand to foreign ministers today have agreed that they want him to continue working on his proposal. how to make sure that you crane can rely on the support of nato allies. and even

though they did not endorse his proposal, but they want him to continue working on it. and this proposal is to full t is proposing a new fund to about 100000000000 euros to make sure that you clean can have enough money to get weapons. and i mean, issued to cook. i mean ition to continue fighting the russian troops. and we heard from some foreign ministers here that they were quite skeptical to belgium, foreign minister, for instance, as ones that nato allies should not make promises they cannot keep. and the german for him is so sad that she is against a jack going in the or the numbers. but in the end, at least, they told stalking back apparently that they want him to continue working on this proposal. part of it is also of one a to take to take over a more coordinating crow. busy in supply inc, ukraine with weapons,

and that would be a big shift in nato's policy because so far, the alliance itself is only providing non legal aid to ukraine. indeed, it would. what else has stood out to you during stalls and bergs pressure there regarding what he said? well, i think that what was really interesting to hear how he described the situation on the battle field at distressing that the ukrainians are not running out of coverage . but of, i'm a nation and you can understand that a allies and also officials that we've been speaking with. i'm very concerned about the situation on the battlefields. there are rumors stepped a rush. i could try to start a new sense of this summer that it could be a russian breakthrough. so speaking about the best and predictable aids and support for ukraine is sort of showing you how nato allies are really concerned

about what is going on on the battlefield. in ukraine, and are there other issues on the table at this meeting, a foreign ministers that we should know about? well, one issue that is not officially on the agenda. so of course, the question who is going to be the new nato secretary general young stopped him back, has been at the helm of the alliance for 10 years. but his 10 year will be over in october and the alliance is searching for a new candidate. there are actually 2 candidates my crew to is the one with the most support, but are still some members that are not so happy with him. so the question is, when elyse will be able to agree about a potential new success. so friends still come back. so thank you so much for bringing us up to speed there. that is date of use brussels bureau chief alexandra phenomena as well as nato gets set to especially market 75th anniversary tomorrow.

it is also looking to be major challenges that will have to face in the future. the middle of your lives was founded in the wake of the 2nd world war to counter the perceived threat from the soviet union, largely with germany playing a reduced role. but many of berlin's partners say it's time for that to change. nato's for secretary general lord is may famously said the alliance was created in 1949 to keep the soviets out. the americans in ended the germans down 75 years later, the doesn't. the original members have added 20 more. they're still focused on keeping russia out as it wages a war at the borders of the alliance, and the americans in as a central guarantors of europe, security. but the original desire to keep germany down is long gone. and some of the servers accused berlin of using history as an excuse to under perform in military spending and readiness. being down off to the end of the gulf war really

became the thing. and it meant free writing. and what you can see now is an increasing number of countries gaining up on gemini, and rightly so, because they've got the memo, they've understood what needs to be done. that point in that purpose and how to do it until berlin gets that though we won't see the necessary unity in europe to actually achieve that goal. that message that any crack in nato cohesion or capabilities could encourage kremlin aggression, is regularly reiterated by frontline allies feeling more vulnerable since moscow launched full scale war on ukraine in 2022 countries. leg is sonia, where it's not just the 75th anniversary as need those founding after world war 2, but also of the brutal soviet exile of thousands of citizens. my mother was deported and her 15th birthday hung on the 24th of march. uh, 1949. my father's family. it had the farm on valley, the seat biogen and bolt the $9040.00 was so perfectly example of how it seems to

be caught in the middle. these days, the middle for european allies may feel like it's between moscow in washington due to concern about declining us support for trans atlantic ties, especially ahead of november elections that could bring the anti nieto, donald trump back to power. the 1st attempt to him, of course, was not an easy time oliver, but to advise the time you could still hope, but to brush as also stake and his relationship with weston both has a motorized think effect on its behavior nowadays. no longer my case. let me bring it then i decided to conduct a special military operation and got this out. what we hope for when the building will came down. clearly, not jamie. she saw plenty of anniversaries in almost 4 decades at nato. his last post dealing with emerging security challenges to be fit for future birthdays,

she says the alliance needs to also see beyond russia. allies a face of all forms. that's right. and if nato doesn't help them, a deal with those of the crisis, right? what would be climate change or cyber attack? so, you know, critical infrastructure protection or whatever it will be less relevant in those particular capital was for almost 75 years. basically the lives has shielded our nations on this, on a bursary, though, amid all the praise for nato's longevity, there's broad agreement that the best way the alliance can defend itself against future russian advances is ensuring there's a russian retreat now in ukraine are turning out the war and gaza world leaders have condemned is rarely strikes on a mandatory and convoy that kills a 7 people working for the n g o world, central kitchen, for nationals from australia of poland to the u. k. and the us are among the victims. you as president joe biden has said,

he's outraged and heart broken while australia slammed the attack as completely unacceptable as well, has blamed the strikes on a mist identification and called them a grave mistake. even secretary general, antonio gutierrez also condemns the attack and has called for an immediate cease fire. devastating is rarely have strikes. that's cute, well simple kitchen personnel yesterday. bidding the number of days what good scheme would be in this conflict. 196, including more than 175 members of all new n stuff. these is uncomfortable, but it is an inevitable result of the way the water is being conducted. let's turn now to some other world news headlines. center goals, new presidents, vast road, you, my fi has a pointed, his former mentor of mine that some co, as prime minister sancho was a fierce rival of former president mackey psalm. it was barred from standing in the

recent presidential election because of a defamation conviction. he denied any wrong doing, but chose the little notify us as replacements. or this most of the day symbolic way has declared its ongoing ground to a national disaster authorities a 2000000000 dollars and 8 as needed to prevent millions of people from starving, neighboring zambia. and malawi made similar announcements last month. scientists say the drought is induced by the new weather phenomenon. the former president of the spanish football federation, louisa ruby, alice was briefly detained by spanish police as part of the corruption investigation ruby alice was returning from the dominican republic, coming to probe into the business deal to hold the spanish super cop in saudi arabia. he was questioned by police that mentored airport before being released and the m. p. 's in norway have pushed ahead of the session in parliament despite receiving a bomb threats. security has been tightened around the building and also,

and all members of the public asked to leave. police have blocked off the surrounding streets and set off additional patrols. a legal battle between the united states, federal government and the state of texas is heating up. tax has introduced legislation in december, which gives authorities the right to detain and potentially to port suspected. illegal immigrants. washington has a challenge the law and asked the federal court of appeals to examine whether it's constitutional effectively putting it on hold for now. but the dispute around it is creating uncertainty along the border with mexico of the us mexico border, the focal point of texas correct? down on immigration. the state recently passed the law giving state authority to the right to arrest and before a suspected illegal migrants, but enforcement has been put on hold as the vitamin ministration has suit. takes us for a breach of federal law. yet many here support tough measure is where you'll see study a quite a vanessa. so what, okay, i agree with that because as soon as they know that any authority has the right to

do so, i think they would start. okay, you said the mouse for some people, it's just the way it is. i mean, it, sometimes it sounds, some people say that it's the brutal or the the abusive or whatever, but it's out of control or is it just too many people? others are worried. they fear they might be targeted unfairly if local and state police can stop and arrest anyone whom they suspect to be an illegal immigrant as a hispanic, you never know, they think i'm coming here legally and then just decide to stop me. some are already feeling law enforcement is making their everyday lives harder. i always get assumed that i'm doing something illegal or doing something wrong. i've. i've walked around downtown area. i've been stopped by border patrol. i been stopped by your police and is just be walking down the store to buy something to drink, and then i get question all the time. sorry that i think it's something that shouldn't be happening. with nearly 95 percent of these counties population identifying as hispanic or latino,

the lockwood further disrupt their relationship with officers and forcing it. while county sheriff comes from harbor as has his deputies will not stop people based on how they look. he does have concerns about the laws impact. we have national guard here. they're not from here, or is it from austin houston. so they don't know that people so it might happen thinking, you know, they don't know the people say might stop somebody walking downtown. looks like and then we're gonna, we're gonna stop bowman low worried, and i'm hoping that it won't happen. a member who was the democrat running for as far as the term of sheriff believes the law will deter people from crossing the border illegally. but if he has to deal with those who do he's has his resources would be strained out of space. and my to right now have about a 1977. the inmates present is here. and now we have the capacity of $200.00. so it, we put immigrants here, the no one, no one has space for the criminals. one of several practical questions yet to be answered. we don't know how and when the law will be enforced. if ever, ultimately,

it could be the us supreme court who decides, and that might be months away. until then, texans and immigrants are like, will have to live with the uncertainty. you french president assigned a new wall, lowering the age for the mobilization for the military from $27.00 to $25.00, as will allow kids to call up tens of thousands of additional soldiers. ukraine has suffered heavy losses on the battlefields after 2 years of war with russia. russia is also trying to replenish its forces, but is increasingly looking abroad for its recruits. thousands of net believes has been lowered by russian recruiters to fight and ukraine. they're promised unattractive salary and a fast track to russian citizenship. but the not police fighters are sent to the front line with a little to no training and their hopes for a better life often and, and tragedy. he got his correspondent, ideal bottles, and just this report from the post capital catch meant to that someone does that this demco does tank god for saving his life. it was a well,

a lucky day for him. new falls, economic situation is gram or on employment. as high inflation is soaring. the country depends on remich, dense is sent home by millions and work abroad. some are ready to seek risky options. all fun. you would like pulse promises of brokers and recruitment agents and nipples. hundreds of families. what do you about? the fate of the allowed ones with joined the russian army. they had been out of contact with them for months. now. those come from did the families struggling to get the dead bodies? the country is gradually turning into psyched up in loss and disappear. nipples farmer, 40 minutes to who was an office under the recent t boned dw, she had tried to persuade rushing offers shelves to stop recruiting napoli as nationals intervene. listen fee. again. i would like to express my concern about

the enlistment of our citizens in the armed forces of a nation with which we lack in official packed or treated in the recruitment of our citizens implies that it happens with the knowledge of the russian government to some of us in a village outside called on to this family bones. the loss of his son and husband were not but 100 was killed 2 months ago in a battle on the clean and fresh lines. she had received barely 2 weeks of training before being sent off to fight a fellow napoli soldier called his wife, the new gonna be the shocking message on the line. when i heard the news of my husband's death, i felt like jumping off a cliff and ending my life. because it took me weeks after hearing the news to actually believe it. the height is over with i couldn't believe that he is no more . and i still feel like i may receive his call, but that's all she knows. now. com. it's the family.
