angered by a meeting between ty, once president, sy ingrid and us house speaker, kevin mccarthy in los angeles earlier this week badging rules of youth with filth, ruling island as a breakaway province. dw correspondent william yang joins us now from the city of mio lee, in western taiwan. william. hi there. what are you hearing about the scale of these lightest chinese drills? so definitely the largest drill that we have seen and heard about is from the 3 day drill that will be surrounding taiwan, basically taking place in different parts of the taiwan strait as well as in some parts of the eastern side of time wine and at the same time, there are some smaller skill like fire drills. the different parts of china have already announced, including in the neighboring fuji's province, as well as in the region that is just north of the tower straits and also it near

behind on island, which is near south china sea. so i think once again this is just china sho, showcasing that they have the. busy ability of launching a multi layer in multi dimensional military exercise and simultaneously. and i think this is definitely a stern response to the meeting between kevin mccarthy and time when the at the same time, we need to remember that the duration of the trio that have been announced so far is still slightly shorter than the drill that we saw last august after china carry only one week military drill around time one following on nancy pelosi visit to time one is william you just hinted at how are you interpreting beijing's explanation as to the purpose of these latest exercises? i think the gene definitely fills the knee to showcase that they are frustrated and they have the ability to respond in a very resolute way. they have repeatedly before the meeting that they will

resolutely defend national security and territorial integrity. and so i think these actions are the exact response to what they said, and at the same time i think they are warning and time one and washington they don't approve any high. busy level meetings and exchanges between ty pay and washington. so as long as a time on president is continuing to get to me, high level us officials, they are going to continue and normalize these kind of a military exercise that sizes around time one. and william would have been the reactions in taiwan. i think so far, how many people are not panic, lee responding to the situation? i think because right now they are still waiting to see if any larger skill, exercises, or threatening move will be made by the people's liberation army. and as this is just the 1st day of these 3 day, extra precise,

we are likely going to see paging revealed more moved or maybe more tactics that they are likely to use in a situation of threatening time, one through their military might. so i think we will have to observe as the middle 3 drill progress over the next 2 days. okay, to w correspondent, william young. the thanks william. thank you. and as we've been hearing, taiwanese defense ministry said beijing was using a visit by president sy in when to the us as an excuse to launch the military drills. so i went to the us this week in defiance of chinese warnings. taiwanese president, sighing when completed her chip to the americas, she sounded defiant upon returning to her homeland dressing that taiwan would continue engaging with the worldly. on the route we have shown the international community that when we face pressure and threats tie,

one will be more united. we will never given because we are suppressed, you know, where we stop communicating with the world because we are hindered things good yet jargon. chinese military incursions into taiwanese as space and territorial waters have become more frequent. taipei used his latest moved by beijing as a response to president size trip to the us. china also imposed sanctions on some us organizations. these include the ronald reagan presidential library and the washington think tank the hudson institute, which honored her with the leadership award. beijing said sized trip and i meeting with a high profile figure like mccarthy violated the one china principal semi was who to the u. s. anti one colluded to enable taiwanese cit protests to undertake political activities in the u. s. which will meet somebody who compelled greeting while taiwan has been self governing since 1949, the ruling communist party in the mainland sees it as a breakaway province,

which must be re united with china by force if necessary. in other news now, israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu has mobilized police and army reserves in response to, to attacks against civilians. the lightest happened friday evening in tel aviv when a driver rammed his car into a group of tourists. police said a 30 year old man from italy died. 7 others were wounded. the incident came just hours after 2 israelis were shot and killed in the occupied with bank. we can get the latest now from d. w correspondent rebecca rita's in jerusalem. rebecca hi. what can you tell us about the attack in tel aviv? well ted, to the really high here at the moment. jared, i'll try to walk you through the events of the last couple of days. as you mentioned, there was a ramming a tac last night around 930 p and local time in tel aviv. we're
