fortunately, a south, a mother is going to spend the rest of her life behind bars for murdering her 3 daughters. if you call me back, i did that with i see the site that was part of psychosis is an awful illness. the post fordham is a nasty mothers nightmare. starts june 4th on d. w. 3 months ago russia launched its attack on ukraine, a 21st century war right here in europe. that continues to st. shock waves around the world, along with fears that a russian invasion of ukraine could serve as a rehearsal for a chinese invasion of taiwan. if that were to happen,

would there be a unified global response? where the leaders of the us, australia, japan, and india, are pondering that very question this week. certainly hoping that china never forces them to deliver an answer. i'm burnt off in berlin. this is the day. ah, we're navigating the dark, our in our shared history. standing together full, i free, open and resilient in civic region, o unilateral changed the status quo by force, should not be tolerated in any region of fundamental principles of international order, territorial integrity and sovereignty. international law, human rights must always be defended, free, opened,

and inclusive indo pacific region is our shared goal on minute also coming up and china's weaker minority and those internment camps what is really going on inside. after years of suspicions and accusations, now photos have emerged. see and fence. this is like a window into a police state about which so little information gets out with really never seen anything like it needs it. ah, which of our viewers watching on p b. s in the united states into all of you around the world. welcome. but we begin the day with an attempt to prevent another rush in type invasion of ukraine, half a world away today in tokyo, the leaders of japan, australia, india, and the united states reaffirmed their commitment to international rules and to a free and open endo pacific region. the subtext here, we do not want

a ukrainian style invasion, taking place in our back yard. and the for leaders represent what is known as the quad group of nations. they agreed among other things to crack down on the legal shipping and fishing activities in the region. they launched a fellowship for study in the us and they also agreed to jointly tackle climate change. but make no mistake. it was russia's invasion of ukraine and worries of a chinese invasion of taiwan that dominated the agenda. tankless. yoshi i knew who could anus get rushes invasion of ukraine clearly challenges the principles written in the charter of the united nations. we cannot let the same thing happened either in the indo pacific region, coastal oak was stella naive us in as long as russia continues to war. the united states will work with our partners to help lead a global response because of can affect all parts of the world as the same time

united states must and will be strong, steady, and enduring partner in unit pacific. so the quad has a lot of work out of us. and so the fact that matter is we have a lot of work to do, keeping this region peaceful, unstable here the quad and say they want to preserve peace in the indo pacific region. how realistic is that with an emerging chinese military superpower at the center of it all? i want to pull in brand bowman to night. he's a former u. s. black oak pilot, he's a former security advisor to the u. s. senate. he's now with the foundation for defense of democracies in washington, d. c. fred is going to see you again. let's talk about what to day me did marks 3 months since the beginning of the russian invasion of ukraine. there are no signs that this war will end any time soon. are there lessons to be learned, especially for the quad group of nations? thanks now to join us. thanks for the question. my answer to your good questions.

absolutely, yes. i think the number one lesson that the quad, but our european friends as well on the mox around the world should learn is that we should spend a heck of a lot less time worrying about provoking authoritarian aggressors and bullies and more time helping beleaguered democracies before the invasion start, you know, look at 2021, right? the u. s. i have good reason to believe had indications and warnings and was planning some sort of large scale invasion early in 2021. secretary blinking was publicly warning of this in november, and yet we were still ringing our hands about louis better not arm ukraine was we might provoke, and he was probably pocketing that and saying thank you very much and proceeding with this plan. and we see many of those same concerns playing out with taiwan. we don't want to promote beijing so we better not provide them the means to defend their freedom. and so to me that the number one lesson and this is relevant because as we speak, there's a 14000000000 dollar backlog or more in weapons,

american weapons for taiwan that are yet to be delivered. in times of the essence, i want to ask you about taiwan just a moment, but i want to stick with the quad for a moment here. india has refused to condemn russia for its attack on ukraine. i mean, can we talk then about there being any shared values when we talk about this quad group, when you've got india, you know, not saying anything because it likes to get cheap brush in oil. you know, the quad reminds me a bit of a family right in a family you have more that unites you then divide, you hopefully and most families. and i'd say that through the quad, i mean if you look at the, the joint statement put out by all are leaders, you know, talked about a shared commitment to the rule of law, territory integrity, the national sovereignty not threatening the use of force. those are very important things if you look at chinese activities in the south, tennessee, taiwan strait, hong kong, elsewhere. but you know, in

a family there are some areas where you disagree in india does have a history of not be not aligned. it has a deep security relationship with russia and i for one, think a new delhi behavior has been a little disappointing. but for the long term, if our children grandchildren confront a world where we don't face chinese aggression series training aggression that it could have far reaching consequences. we need the democracy of the world to be more unified and capable as possible, complicating the life or chinese military planners. so that the side not to conduct the aggression the 1st place. read. what did you make of us? president biden's comments this week regarding the use of force if china a word to attack taiwan and i'm wondering, was, was his message one that beijing needed to hear? it's a great question. i think there's clearly a growing bipartisan momentum in the united states for doing more to help taiwan

being more assertive in trying to deter chinese aggression is the balance of power in the taiwan strait tips, increasingly beijing's advantage. and i think you're hearing biden's mind heart and soul st. heck, yes, we're going to help taiwan. but you know, that is a little inconsistent or quite inconsistent with longstanding us policy. the taiwan relations act in our doctrine of strategic ambiguity. and yet again, we saw his staff trying to walk that back. so i'd say that the white house needs kind of tighten up its operation a little bit. and this is not helpful confusion. and you know, when the president speaks, that's kind of policy. and so i think a national spirit virus sullivan needs to tighten up operations there a little bit to be honest with you. but i mean, he was saying the president he was president, was saying, you know what, he was thinking right. and that if taiwan were to be attacked by china, the u. s. military would inter vein and enter to your point. he was, he wasn't worried about ruffling the feathers in beijing. was he?

no, he wasn't. and frankly, i, i've been a voice calls saying we should be more help, more in taiwan. but let's just be clear that the u. s. policy has been, you know, we don't want to taiwan to declare independence. but we also want to turn to turn chinese aggression and we want to provide taiwanda means to defend itself. this is the balancing act we've been trying to strike for decades. someone argue many are arguing here in the u. s. is time to set aside that strategic ambiguity, making clear commitment that we would come to tie wants defense because the threat seems to be growing by the day it brand before we're going to want to ask you what would happen if china were to invade taiwan and would this be a ward that the west would be able to win? wow, what a we need more than 30 seconds for that one, but i would just tell your viewers that did this can take many forms, right? can take a blockade. it can take a cyber attack. hybrid warfare can be many things other than people's liberation. army soldiers come to shore and taiwan. but we need to make taiwan

a porcupine. and that means missiles and other type capabilities. more missiles fewer and one tanks and the list goes on, but that, that's some of the things we need to be focused on now before the invasion curse not after make taiwan a porcupine as to the take away for that. we've had so far bread women from the foundation for defense of democracies bread as always we appreciate your insights. thank you. thank you. oh, germany's foreign ministry is calling for a transparent investigation. after more evidence emerged of china's brutal crack down on its predominantly muslim, weaker minority, a cache of documents dub. the shin john police files was leaked to the media. the files include photographs inside chung's mass incarceration facilities, and a warning to our viewers. this next report contains some images that you may find disturb. armed security forces taking a prisoner away. they hold

a chair during interrogation, which human rights watch says is used for torture. these images of from chinese internment camps in the administrative district of tion. shawn in 2018. they allegedly show how brutally china traits, it's weak of minority. the photos was sent to china re such as adrian sense. he says they came from computers belonging to the ministry of public security in northern sheen jang region. sphere on fence, this is like a window into a police state about which so little information gets out. we've really never seen anything like it will not make us in the race. such a, pass the data on to 14 international media companies, including germany's by re sharon funk and ashby, gold and baby say news. after wakes of examining the data, the tame of report has verified and evaluated it. among the findings was

a shoot to kill order for prisoners attempting to escape from the internment camps . this is outraged, weld late is and re enforced allegations of crimes against humanity gab he'd idea. he's a bit ozzy, i think everyone who sees these images get the children that's fine because leaf emits with a horrific and disturbing and confirm what has been going on for a long time. i at the most theory with human rights violations, are taken play fellows in tunes on viagra. the chinese government has yet to respond to a comprehensive inquiry about the race such in an official statement. it said that the measures taken in shin jang was solely directed at terrorist threats and that the papal de court lived happily on joy now by adriano. since he was in that report and he received the documents in the photos and been past them on to the journalist helping make the story that were reporting right now

. mr. sands is good to have you on the program. i just want to ask you what went through your mind as you had this cash of photos. and you were preparing to give those over to the media. what was going through your mind at that moment. it took me some time to just even process the contents of this material to to look at it to process it. i mean, i've, i've been researching chinese government documents and evidence from shin young for, for many years now. but never ever have we had images, image material, images of the teen close and images of police drills. so it's, it's hard to describe, but it's deeply traumatizing looking these people in the eyes seeing those images, police drills it's, it's very intense. and there was never any doubt in your mind that these photos are indeed real genuine and authentic.

well, i didn't take the authenticity of the files for granted, so i approached us gradually and systematically em. i looked at the documents, i looked at the images and i looked at spreadsheets. i looked at whole material the, a possibility to chill locate, material, evaluating meta data image the so i didn't approached us immediately saying at this must be true. i mean, of course i was immediately very impressed by it. but also i approached very critically, especially since the sources anonymous. so i didn't take the authenticity for granted, but really establishing authenticity that was not a problem after the required intensive and hot work because of the abundance of the material. and also the abundance of diverse m, material containing images, not just those images, but also power points and excel spreadsheets, depicting police drills. and we know that the chinese government, beijing, a,

has been denying nail for years that anything wrong is taking place inside these internment camps. and now we've got proof that they've been lying about this. why do you think though, if this is the case, why do these photos even exist? why would the, the chinese, why would they document something that they don't want the world to know about? they do that because of the way the system works. it's a heavily bureaucratic system and it's not based on trust. it's based on control and fought at inferiors, have to report back to superiors and increasingly they have to provide image material and detailed reports to prove implementation. and that's been a major part of this correct on it. we see the reported ng and end the trouble. i mean, any internal files, you know,

officials are speaking about that the difficulty they have in getting a officials to enforce everything that's happening. and so this material gets generated in that process of that. a state taro bureaucracy, but of course it's meant to be kept internal and so they also have extensive security requirements. and actually, em, computers that have a, some of that re education camp material and not actually supposed to be online in, you know, you know, the system is in, it's in this authoritarian bureaucracy as you describe it. the fact that this material was leaked is that going to mean that some heads are going to have to roll in china because of this. so let's, we have to be precise without terminology. this was not a leak. nobody, nobody from the inside gave it out. it was a hack, somebody from the outside penetrated into it. okay,

of course that can still in that some hats will roll because does wasn't supposed to be possible. and of all of these, the photos that we have seen, the stories attached to them, which one stands out most to you. photos of those young teenagers 15 year old girls in a camp and a file as even make it clear. they haven't done anything just simply they are because one of the parents was detained. m images of really old people in a seventy's who are, who are detained when a camp. it's just the deep, the inhumanity of the system is just so vividly reflected it in, in this image material it's, it's very, very profoundly in human and as a say, seeing is believing. and now that the world has these images that it can see what

impact do you think that is that going to have on the international communities ability to intervene in some form to stop what is happening to the weavers. so we're seeing some promising 1st science take the german government. long, silent with few exceptions on the subject. now, germany's foreign ministry, a foreign minister and alina bab, walk, making pretty strong statement. and we're seeing slow change and the new evidence helps, but it still takes, it takes politicians and governments were willing to do the right thing, who are willing to pay the price that all values have a values and not cost free. and that, that seems to take a long time to finally penetrate through some of these governments. so i can only hope that it's going to be harder for them to look the other way and to remain silent. you have a very good point and as the say,

it's impossible to and see something you've already seen. adrian, since we appreciate your time, we appreciate you sharing your story with us tonight as well. thank you. thank you . ah. several countries in eastern africa are facing an acute hunger crisis. drought conflict, the pandemic, and the war in ukraine. they have all combined to drive at food. price is 23000000 people across kenya, ethiopia, and somalia are going hungry. now that's according to a new report from humanitarian groups. and as a result, hundreds of thousands of children we understand are at risk of dropping out of school just to help their families survive. the double eaves, east africa correspondent, mario mueller reports to night from some all incidents

students in the school. however, africa integrity did when they and a lot of the stuff that you guys, he went over some of this to the same family. i'm moving to dorado where and food is what if i did, i don't know. i do. it's just across the board. any feel peer where many people emigrated to in search for food? i had a chron wants to stay here and learn. i'm learning said that i'll be in a better position in the future. her dream is to become a teacher one day. oh, peace concerts have been held on northern germany's baltic coast at the is it on music 1st of all, for 20 years now. and to mark this anniversary organizers have invited the world famous new york philharmonic orchestra, the venue. it holds special significance, music and harmony. now ring out from
