taiwan is born in better girls, written regional stability and security. they come after china was on good bye, a meeting between ty, once president, sy, in gwin and u. s. house speaker, kevin mccarthy, in los angeles earlier this week, origin considers the civilian ireland. the breakaway province derby correspondence. william young joins us from the city of miley in western taiwan. hello, william. how is taiwan? responded to what the chinese state media has called you. it has all of on encirclement the defense ministry over here is closely monitoring all day activities by the people's liberation army around taiwan. a lot of the club, collaboration and coordination have been made between the naval forces and also the coast guard. and they are keeping a very close eye about how the air force by the tail a is really operating a lot of their fighter jets. because

a lot of the experts are saying that this next 3 days is in fact a very important exercise for the pos air force. so this is very important area. the time when is pain of the re close attention to. so in august last year we saw a similar drills when the been us. how speaker nancy pelosi visit that taiwan. how are people in taiwan? compare in both drills. so last only because the drill is a lot more dramatic and the scale is much bigger. and there, it also involves the fighting of firing. some of the missiles, stuff flew over taiwan. so people were in fact a lot more attempts back them. but this time because the skill of the military exercise is much smaller and the duration is also shorter. so, so far, how many people are not really being alarmed and at the same time the government has been keeping the public at a very, very, up to date pace. and so i think right now people are trusting what the government

has been sharing with them by the same time, i do think this is just going to make people more aware about the possible frequency of this kind of activities launched by the chinese going forward. after business in the us earlier this week for us then size says taiwan will continue to work with us. what you see happening in the long term. i think the long term trajectory of depends on if the current ruling party stays in power, we're not. if so, they will double down with the heightened relationship between taiwan and the united states and as continue to push for high level exchanges between the 2 sides . and if that's this trajectory that we're looking at, then china is definitely going to continue to also enhance the frequency of this kind of military activities. and likely this is just going to become a new normal and then increase the overall tension and possibility of any kind of

miscalculation down the road. ok, kirsten and william young. thank you. thank you. nice when the prime minister, i mean that and yahoo has ordered the mobilization of board up please. an additional military units after 2 deadly attacks on civilians delete has attacked, took place on friday evening in tel aviv when the driver around his car into a group of tourists azalea to lease was shot and killed in the occupied westbank. ah, a tourist hot spot illuminated by the flashing lights of emergency responders, tourists wandering the beach side boardwalks of tel aviv had little warning before . com mounted the pavement and rammed into a group of pedestrians near by police responded quickly. so claim so policeman would hear in the 80 approach they identified did the he could and also identified of weapon the cock than the suspect. tried to reach father of ethan,

a mosque by israeli security forces and has ignited fears of a wider escalation. get of the correspondence from a guy, retest, joins me from jerusalem. hello, rebecca israels prime minister has ordered them obama zation of bought up lease an additional military units. what does that mean or to call up police reserves is quite a big step and clearly indicates fears of escalation or further attacks in the coming days, potentially in, in the coming weeks. and as we heard in that report, tensions have been very high since the raids that we saw earlier in the week on the alex and mosque. it is the holy month of ramadan and palestinians were inside the mosque. police went in and raided them, the tried to clear out the mask, and there were beatings and video circulated of those beatings. it's really angered a lot of people in the palestinian community and across the arab world. and then we

saw the ensuing a conflict after that. now the security services would have been on high alert this week. and anyway, this weekend, as were 3 holy festivals converge, we have ramadan, pass over for the jews and the a christian calendar of easter. of course for the christians now they're all converging and the, the tensions were already going to be very high. now, given the events of this week, they're even on higher alert. and stepping up police is something that obviously the authorities are trying to do to prevent further attacks when you walk through jerusalem this weekend before these attacks. security is already very, very tight as an increase police presence. but obviously fears of an escalation have made the government take even bigger steps as you see a possible fear of escalation. either any attempts to prevent that further escalation from all sides. well,

there were calls before these attacks from the government to get the government to rally together and try and prevent an escalation of what we saw at the borders in the north and south on thursday and friday. those since then, of course we've seen these terror attacks within israel and within the occupied territories, the government and called in back up when it comes to police and military units. from from the palestinian or part you know the, the groups that are thought to be responsible not that they have claimed responsibility, but that being the militant group mass have come out. they've come out in the wake of the attacks inside the mosque and that, that violence saying that they will protect the mosque and the palestinians, right to be there at any cost. they've said that any more violence at the most would see further attack. so, you know, everybody on high alert here this weekend, particularly tense time here and you know, we, everyone worried about what will happen in the coming days. sanctions in the quite

hi, rebecca written many banks. now let's look at some other stories making headlines around the world. the u. s. navy says it's deploying a guided missile submarine to the middle east. the nuclear power vessel is capable of carrying up to $154.00 tomahawk cruise missiles. analysts call the movie show of force to war to run after recent tensions. not korea has carried out another test of what it calls on under water attack. drone capable of carrying nuclear weapons, state media as it ruined traveled for 70 hours before it was detonated. it's in response to joint military drills by the u. s. south korea and japan. conflicting us court rulings of cost and certainty of access to we come on abortion drug. a judge in texas suspended the long standing approval of miss harper stone. shortly after another federal judge in washington state ordered authorities to keep

the drug in them on the market in the 17 states that filed the lawsuit. now, according to british intelligence, russian forces have made significant gains in back move in east in ukraine. the report says, russian troops are likely taking the city center along with the west bank of the river green. the nice that admits the situation is difficult with has been on the seed for months, seen some of the fiercest fighting of the war. from all of what's happening in the background, we joined by franklin bitch, who served as an officer in the british royal naval reserve. on today is the military analyst, hello say, explain to us. what really is that play in back note? well at the what the ukrainians are deciding in the next few days is whether the losses that they are inflicting on the russians are worth the losses sustaining themselves with a calculation. by the way they've been observing up the last 2 or 3 months. the

problem they have, according to british intelligence, is that they withdrawal root is now threatened, the 5 o 6 road west out to back moot. once that become seriously threatened, you credit will make a decision which could happen tomorrow. could happen another week or 2 weeks. but they will have to make the decision to, to withdraw very quickly. they've demonstrated in the past. if they do that, they can conduct a fighting with all very effectively as i didn't ask and several other places over the last year or so. so that's what's happening on 10th street fighting in the center. so british intelligence said russia likely keywords and here likely took part of the city, including the center. what do you read into the use of the word likely ukrainians have been exceptionally good at the control of information. so i think it's genuinely the case of western intelligence services are not cited on what's

happening in detail and that's the way it should be. ukrainians will, and we in fact would be the same, we would call an operational security. so what british intelligence and other analysts are doing is, is looking at the evidence available for both sides on, on social media channels, from their own recognizance. and they have analyzer assess, says actually that that's what's happening and also assess by the way, what's happened the last few weeks, is that the but the wagner group, which have been supposedly leading in batman promised to take the city, have now been, have developed much better command control arranged with the army and they've been reinforced by the airport so that sustained a momentum which we thought that russians last about a month ago. how could the situation on the ground evolved the spring? well, there will be a difference if we are certain that the offensive will be designed to shape the

environment for a re taking of crimea. that's the central gravity in this war. that is, as general, how to set on this very channel the critical ground crimea. so we can expect the ukrainians to attack over the next 4 to 6 weeks. probably, sooner than later, i suggest towards crimea, with the objective of forcing the russians of essentially classic russian forces. and we can expect that to happen very, very quickly. however, viewers should have in mind. i think that the other thing that kind of been very good out of the last of last year is deception. so watch out if there isn't a salt summer, it may well be a fight. and let's hope to dale to see, to see the russians in so doing, but to ask a question directly looking and offensive within the next month. ukrainian forces developing now about 3 quarter sprint. 680-0000 people that are moving forward to the jumping off points operation the battle they will take place from artillery quite soon and we will see that assault going forward for military analyst. thank
