1st and the rest were series 40 to the answer, almost everything. this week on d, w with new news live from berlin, china simulates precision strikes on taiwan. chinese warships and fighter jets have been cycle to the island on the 2nd day of military exercises. asian calls the drills eastern warning to the island after it's presidents that the united states also on the program. israel launches asteroids on multiple targets inside syria.

the military says the target sides belonging to the syrian army after rockets were fired from syria into easily controlled territory. ah, i am eddie micah junior. welcome to the program. chinese fighter jets and warships op similes at precision strikes on taiwan. china has deployed dozens of jets and vessels and circling the island in a 2nd straight day of and let's read drills. china consider taiwan the breakaway province. it's how when he's government says feagins wargames to threaten regional stability. the u. s. is calling for restraint. the waters around taiwan, choppy than usual war ships on the move as china conducts 3 days of military exercises encircling the self govern island tensions

a sky. hi. with the taiwanese coast guard sharing footage of multiple stand offs between vessels from both sides. oh, those are y'all, the chinese mainland 131 bullshit. this is a broadcast from the republic of china's 10079, coast guard chain. you are now seriously damaging regional pace, stability and safety. please turn around immediately and leave over. if you proceed forward, i will take eviction measures. as the drills dragged into their 2nd day, china's threats became increasingly belligerent. chinese state media has been broadcasting graphics such as these simulating precision strike some tie, one in the event of a chinese invasion. the so called joint sword drills are seen as a retaliation for taiwanese presidents. i invent visit to the united states for trip enraged china, which considers taiwan to be

a break away province. beijing has long taken a strong stance on the issue, vowing to retake the self governed island by force if necessary. the combination of military maneuvers and china's aggressive rhetoric a raising the temperature in the taiwan strait. many now fear that a single mis step could spock a conflict that neither side is prepared for. dw correspondence william yang taught us more about the rise intentions between taiwan and china. so earlier today, we heard from reuters news agency, at least 20 warships from both from 10 from each i actually are engaged in a standoff. and we don't know much about the details, but i think that just reflects how can the tension has really been building up since the announcement of the military exercise yesterday. and because of the very

frequent movement and activities involving the chinese vessels, chinese fighter jets and also their coast guard ship. this is now, i think, really raising the stakes about like whether there will be any kind of miscalculation at any site. i think breached, you know, the media on line of to tell one stray. we saw several chinese fighter jet and also both already did since yesterday. so how is taiwan responding to the drills? so far, the defense ministry continues to really closely monitoring all the activities, especially the fighter just because this time china put a lot of emphasis on the display of the ability of their air force. and we see dozens of fighter jets already entered tiny ones, their defense identification zone in the southwest and also crossing the median line. at the same time, the government is continuing to pay attention to the activities by the rocket,

4th of the chinese military. because last august, during the one week military exercise around time one, they did fire several, miss alden, so the government is concerned on maybe that could also happen. but so far, we have not been notified about that. so if taiwan continues to forge diplomatic relations with the u. s. cord drills like this become more common, you think? yes, it seems very likely because the chinese state media and also their government have been repeatedly saying that the goal and the target of this exercise is exactly to try to deter the so called collusion between the time when independent separated forces and the 4 external forces and they are aiming the external force as the united states. and so i think if in the future, no time when president continues to meet high level, you official china, my just routine nice. this kind of exercise and activities around time one. so it

could really just become a new normal respondent. william young. thank you. thank you. let's look at more stories making headlines around the world. a large fire in the northern germans. it's your member, is forcing residents to stay indoors. police, one of possible toxins in the air warehouses on fire is not clear what's that to the blaze. smoke spread out across the city center. the last surviving prosecutor of the number of trials that brought nancy war criminals to justice has died. been friends, help secure numerous convictions of german officers at the end of world war 2. he also pushed for the creation of the international criminal court. friends was 103 years old. rescue as in france, our session for survivors after an explosion triggered the collapse of the 5 story
