around taiwan, a choppy than usual warships on the move as china conducts 3 days of military exercises. encircling the self govern island tensions a sky high 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 strikes on taiwan in the

event of a chinese invasion. the so called joint sword drills, a 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 govern to 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 our correspondence, william young taught us more about the rising tensions between taiwan and china. so earlier today we heard from reuters a news agency, at least 20 warships from boat, from 10 on each side, 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 medium line of the how and stray we saw several chinese fighter jet and also best 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 media 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 a 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 separatist 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 president continues to meet high level, you officials, china, my just routine nights, this kind of exercise and activities around time one. so it could really just become a new normal didn't respond and let me, i'm thank you. israel's military says it has struck targets in southern syria in response to rocket attacks. the s drive a syrian military compound and radar systems in the area from where the rockets were fired. the riley, i'm you said it holds the state of city, are responsible for all ox carried out on that surgery. at least 6 workers were fired from syrian territory towards israel overnight. some landed inside these ready occupied golden hides, but no casualties of it. you know, our funerals have been held in the occupied westbank for to set list who were

fires still burning deep within the rabble. rabble frances has been leading east that sunday mass at saint peter's square in the vatican. ah! tens of thousands of people got it to attend to the celebration after the mass. a traditional lesson or b, or b in his eastern message today. well, for process, ask russians to seek the truth about your country's invasion of ukraine. you also are peut for dialogue and he's released on philistines following reasons about this process was recently hospitalized for bronchitis, but it didn't stop him from poseidon over the easter sunday ceremony. joining me in the studio is martin, gac did of use that village as a fast correspondence allotted and just say i had to pull, deliver his address. what was his main message?

as usual for the time of the year, the main message remains essentially pursuit of peace and importance of bees for you know, christians and beyond. i mean, for both christians and catholics to promote i think that there was a strong emphasis this year and sort of different hotspots of violence, particularly around questions of terrorism war. and of course, you know, the ukrainian, the russian invasion of ukraine being still remains sort of an important an important element. mostly, he also refer to different forms of the, for some franchise meant questions that had really become pressing over the last year. yet again, they never really went away, but sort of illegal immigration, that poverty disenfranchisement. he said are, these are topics that had been regularly very important for this policy. and, you know, he showed that they, they remain so the pope has been criticized at times for making so called controversial statements. why is that? well, a couple of days ago the bo mentioned that well said that 6 is beautiful

and even braced or praise, or at least sort of said that it was, had me civilities, certain online platforms for the pursuit of love or any think that in a sense this is of course interesting to see, i mean us is his, he's so bored for as u. b, t, community, etc. but i think that this is much more than a policy change, which is very much consistent with the positions that this book has taken. it's, it's a salvo that probably was very clearly heard among the right wing of the church. there was a lot of discussion as he was in the hospital a week and a half ago about the sort of conservative wing of the church trying to find it. space again, norther to actually look for a future bold, much more align with there, but their political positions, in this case, what we have is a re assertion of the fact that these policy looks at progressivism and inclusion as an important as an important agenda item. ok, latham gag that have usually just

a fast correspondence. thank you. you're very welcome. now let's talk some german football after losing top spot to buy and bruce yard. osborne, well look in to bounce back on march. the $27.00 against that placed on the on berlin. the black and yellows came out on top in a drilling bottle of naps. to remain hot on by and heels dormant were desperate to reaffirm their title credentials after last weekend humbling at byron. but the pressure was on the wind for noon would put the berliners right back in contention for the unlikeliest of championship winds. the hosts looked to have dispelled any signs of a hangover in a slick 1st half a well worked move. so daniel malik, give them the lead on 28 minutes. rafael guerrero was given too much, lee, and merlin nipped in front of nick a decent month to make it what know for diamond at the break. but when you have confounded expectations all season they did. so again, just after the hour,

geraldo becker did well to t. uh, kevin baron's, and his cool finish made at 11 but dartmouth took the lead again with a little help from the berliners. jose gwyn inadvertently played the perfect rubel for use of the cuckoo and the supervisor made no mistake and 79 minutes that proved to be the winner and it keeps it in tears which is men just to points behind by in the title race while unions dreams of an improbable championship when look to be over and the out of the game on saturday by and unique beats fryeburg, one nail to tighten its grip on fast lace. some terrible defendant from fryeburg allowed bind to when the ball back at the edge of the opponent's box and mathis de licked fired in a long range. rockets for the game's own go. fryeburg keeper, mac slacken, could do nothing to stop this swerve and strike on this fellow dutchman.
