stability and security. they come off, the china was on good by meeting between taiwan, president side and gwen and us house speaker, kevin mccarthy. in los angeles. the speak region considered as the island break away province. ellie i spoke to d. w correspondent, william young in taiwan, who's following the latest development. the defense ministry over here is closely monitoring all day activities by the people's liberation army around taiwan. a lot of the 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 p o, a is really operating a lot of their fighter jets. because a lot of the experts are saying this next 3 days is in fact a very important exercise for the air force. this is a very important area at that time. one is paying

a very close attention to. so in august last year we saw a similar drills when the been us house become nancy pelosi visit that taiwan. how are people in taiwan comparing both drills so last time 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 time one. so people. busy 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 launch by the chinese going forward after

vessels in the us area. this week for us then side says taiwan will continue to work with us. what you see happening in the long time. i think the long term trajectory of it depends on if the current ruling party stays in power, we're not it's so they will double down with the heightened relationship between taiwan and the united states and 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 over. busy tension and possibility of any kind of miscalculation down the road. ok. correspondence. william young. thank you. european union has condemned an escalation of violence in israel and called on all

buckman scott river. it rained in ice that but admits the situation is difficult, douglas has been under seed for months seen some of the fiercest fighting of the war. ah, this footage purportedly shows heavy fighting nearby, mute pro russian channels on the social media platform. telegram are full of similar clips. drone footage of central, but moot british intelligence sources, say the areas now likely under russian control. ukraine's military is simply calling this situation difficult. nobody was in the direction of buckner. the enemy is trying to take the city completely and is continuing its attacks. but what them key if says that, despite the tough situation,

ukrainian troops are holding ground against russian units that have them outnumbered. ukraine's military says russia is making tactical advances, but paying a high price for them but the pressure is mounting. ukraine. supply lines are reportedly increasingly at risk. this footage shot on thursday shows the main road into the city. one of the key supply routes. ah, yeah, we had it, we make it down this road. well, we made it through with god's help was lukewarm as the battle for buck mood rages. the pentagon says it is investigating a leak of classified u. s. and nato documents concerning ukrainian military readiness and losses. both ukraine and the u. s. say the documents may have been tampered with and could

contain misinformation that would benefit moscow. alley i spoke to military analyst, frank, leverage on the situation facing your grain. well, eddie, 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 that asked sustaining themselves with the calculation. by the way they've been observing. now for 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 of 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 they didn't. so don'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 o t 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, and we in fact would be the same, we would call an operational security. so what british intelligence, another analissa doing is, is looking at the evidence available from both sides 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 has been supposedly leading in batman promised to take the city. i've now been have developed much better commanding control wrench and 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 retaking 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 are essentially collapsing 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 day of last year is deception. so watch out if there isn't

a salt summer, it may well be a faint. and let's hope the dale deceive, to see the russians in so doing, but to answer question directly looking and offensive within the next month. ukrainian forces developing now about 3 core that's between 60100000 people. they're moving forward to that jumping off points operation the battlefield will take place from artillery quite soon and we will see that assault going forward from average military analyst. thank you. thank you. so avenue on dw dock found looks at the gulf between rich and poor in the media staging for that market technically are not at all really architecture. why are they so invisible to the larger public? we decided to have them. what is the poetry the secret of the house.
