ah, 3 months ago russia launched its attack on ukraine, a 21st century war right here in europe. that continues to seen 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 burned off in berlin. this is the day ah,

we're navigating a dark hour in our shared history, standing together for a free opinion and resilient in civic region. oh, unilateral change to the status quo by force should not be tolerated in any regions of fundamental principles of international order, territorial integrity and sovereignty. international law, human rights must always be defended, a free open, an inclusive indo pacific region is our share goal on minute also coming up in china's weaker minority and those internment camps what is really going on inside. after years of suspicions and accusations now folks have emerged. see, and since this is like a window into a police state about which so little information gets out. we've really never seen

anything like it. not need to say, oh, which of our viewers watching on p b. s in the united states into all of you around the world. welcome. we begin the day with an attempt to prevent another russian type invasion of ukraine, half a world away to day in tokyo, the leaders of japan, australia, india, and the united states reaffirmed their commitment to international rules and to a free and open indo 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

too who could anus get rushes invasion of ukraine clearly challenges the principles written in the chatter of the united nations. we cannot let the same thing happen by here in the indo pacific region. coastal oak was still up 90 percent. as long as russia continues to war, 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 union pacific. so the quad has a lot of work out of us. and so the fact of the 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 pulling brad 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, it's going to see you again. let's talk about what to day me. did mark's 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 you and 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 and democracy 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 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 what we better not arm ukraine is. we might provoke putin and he is probably pocketing that and saying thank you very much. and proceeding with this plan. and we see many of those same concerns play out with taiwan. oh, 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 about taiwan just a moment, but i want to stick with the choir 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 in most families and i'd say that to 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 trying to see the 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 deli behavior has been a little disappointing. but for the long term, if our children or grandchildren confront a world where we don't face chinese aggression series training, aggression, the 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 because 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 taiwan the means to defend itself. this is the balancing act we've been trying to strike for decades. some would argue many are arguing here in the u. s. is time to set aside that strategic ambiguity, make it clear commitment that we would come to tie wants defense. because the

threat seems to be growing by the day. it bred before we're going to want to ask you what would happen if china were to invade taiwan and would this be a war 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. that's 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 hoary ministry is calling for a transparent investigation. after more evidence emerge of china's brutal crack down on it's 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 a adrian sense. he says they came from computers belonging to the ministry of

public security in nor than she and john region, sophia. and since this is like a window into a police state about which so little information gets out. we've really never seen anything like it. monique is in the re, such a past the data on to 14 international media companies, including germany's by re sharon folk and ashby, gold and baby. se news after wakes of examining the data, the tame of report is 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 copied. i dad, he's a berdazi, i think everyone who is this, these images get the chilled on that fine because leave immense with a horrific and disturbing, and they confirm what has been going on for a long time. i'd say that the most theory with human rights violations are taken

play fellows in tunes and vian. 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 dory. now, by adriano since he was in that report, and he received the documents in the folders and been past them on to the journalist helping make the story that reporting right now. mr. sanchez, good to have you on the program. i, 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 it up 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 cousins, 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 or indeed real genuine and authentic well, i didn't take you off contest t of the files for granted. so i approached us gradually and systematically. and 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 metadata image. 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 hard work because of the abundance of the material. and also the abundance of diverse material containing images. not just those images, but also powerpoints and excel spreadsheets, depicting police drills. and we know that the chinese government, beijing, a has been denying knell 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 that we see the reported ng and, and 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, tara 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 some of that re education cam material and not actually supposed to be online in, you know, you know,

the system is 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. ok, of course that can still in that some hats will roll because this wasn't supposed to be possible. and of all of these, the photos that we have seen in 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 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 as seeing some promising 1st signs 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 are 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 into remain silent . you have a very good point and as they say it's impossible to and see something you've already seen. adrian's, it's, we appreciate your time. we appreciate you sharing your story with us tonight as well. thank you. thank you. several countries in eastern africa, the are facing and acute hunger crisis, drought conflict, the pandemic,

and the war in ukraine. they have all combined to drive that 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 w east africa correspondent mario mueller reports tonight. from somali, it's e condense, favorite subject, math. she's a good student and never misses class. but since the drought started, food prices have skyrocketed and her mother needs her help to earn extra money. so after school, she has to sell vegetables at the local market. quite a few hours. i have to help my parents. sometimes i take my mother's place so that she can get some rest. it's a lot of stress. the 17 year old also works as a housemaid every day after school. oh and then the other students,

my age, i don't think they have the same problems that they have to work a little fire. so i went through a lot. i want to recover from it. like 3000000 children don't go to school in somalia. it is more than 17 percent of the population. and one of the highest numbers, worldwide decades of conflict have crippled zamiah's education system. there are not enough resources or qualified teachers. the n g o clair international says that now 420000 more children are at risk of dropping out of school. a devastating locust invasion the worst drought and for decades, and a huge increase in food prices have caused thousands to flee their homes. 6000000 people face acute food insecurity. among them are 1400000 children.

we're in a race against time to with that family. we know that early intervention is critical, but we need the resources right now. otherwise, by the middle of the year, we could be looking at a humanitarian catastrophe. thanks to you and funded project students at this school received 2 meals a day that still about 90 students out of 400 have left and the number of the student in the school had roughly got integrity. they went there and all that stuff . yeah, you got the money over some of this to the se. familiar? 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
