for the courageous effort against corruption and political crimes. in our series guardians of truth watch now on youtube dw documentary. ah ah ah, this is dw news live from berlin, chinese warships and fighter jets around taiwan for a 3rd spray day of military exercise. with the successful completion of operation joint salt beijing says it's military was sending a warning to the island of taiwan. president met with a top

u. s. official. last class. the pentagon is reviewing photographs of leak documents . it says contains sensitive and highly classified material that suggest ukraine is just weeks away from running out of ammunition for the defensive and 25 years after a hard one. peace agreement, worries that breaks it may be putting the good friday peace deal at rest. in all the night, we report from the streets of beth and n sports, john rom claims, his 1st master's title. thanks to a steady final round at augusta. it becomes the spaniards to win golds most prestigious. ah, i'm good. how about his welcome to the program disguised and c surrounding taiwan

were for a 3rd day been occupied by china's defense forces. on monday, the us sent a guided missile destroy through contested parts of the south china sea. in response to chinese warships and fight jets have now completed simulated exercises . but the message and the threat accompanying them are palpable. simulated target to strikes off chinese military on taiwan. china adopted join sward in circling the self ruled island of taiwan that it claims as its own. di one sees the ad defense unit, closely monitored, the encroaching forces. it sufficiency, dozens of chinese aircraft, crossed the median line of the taiwan strait with no impatient to escalate the situation. the hours he on forces will uphold our sovereignty, and the men had our nation, no security yet con,

post rational and assault form manner. meanwhile, our air defense, the illness half remained. i'll high alert. the military exercise was a demonstration of pigeons, anger, or what the taiwanese president's visit to the united states. do united states distributed the card for china to show restraint in a shawl force? the united states deployed a naval destroyer into waters, claimed by beaching, triggering board belly, cause frederick from china. tensions are rising in the region and the residents of taipei and shang, i have do. i did opinions on china as the decent military exercises. people are bashing that at the most common people probably aren't afraid, at least the mean these and being that everyone thinks that china will certainly not start a body weight because they don't need to start a walk through a company. can use other methods to pressure taiwan. huck a young, she has

a 5 or genesis exact engine harnessing. i think china, i turns on a very normal thing, happy because firstly, i need to show our attitude resort. and we also need to show our ability to react like this weekend oil formula. jessica, china's military pressure on taiwan continues to intensify and it's up to taipei entered defect a u. s. ally to guess feather china's neck, show a 4th will just be a drill. did i because one and william young is entire peer and he told me was the 3rd day of drills has seen her on taiwan. so. so this morning we have seen dozens of chinese fighter jets again entering, ty, one's air defense identification zone in at least 35 of those have in fact across the center line of the time one street. but why is in fact more concerning is the confirmation. both by the time when he's defense ministry and also the japanese

defense ministry that china us aircraft, carrier group, chandel has, in fact participated in this military exercise from the western pacific that is on the east side of time. wine and our there are at least 80 landing and takeoff activities that it has been successfully carried out in a what the experts are saying is that now that the china can prove that they can carry out attacks potentially from the east side of time. one, there is no longer any safe zone for time one to actually preserve its military capability. and also on this, at the same time, the east side of taiwan is also the passage where it's necessary for the us to use in order to come for a potential support for time one. so that just means that, i think right now, china is trying to really sandwich to taiwan into, from the west side, using the military aircraft. and from the east side, they're using their aircraft carrier group to really squeeze, tie one, and put more pressure on time. one, now a china has warned a taiwan,

but independence ty, with these independence, that is, and peace are mutually exclusive. what does this tell us? so as we know, this is basically fe, jane doubling down on their objection to the current ruling party and their position of protein one sovereignty. as we know, there are now about 9 months left until the next presidential election and aging has basically cut off communication with ty paste in 2016 after the current president time when came to power. and now that she's about to step away from the podium after next may paging. it's really trying to send a message to anyone that's trying to run in the presidential election. they don't support and approve anyone that supports tie one sovereignty and also views taiwan as separate from china. and be you think that tomorrow things will just go back to normal or have these drills change something fundamentally

i think with this military exercise and the last one last august after a former us how speaker nancy pelosi visited these 2 exercises basically have imposed new normals around the taiwan strait the last time it was just basically allowing china to more frequently sending their fighter jets across the taiwan strait and then not allowing tie one to really make any substantial pushback. and this time around we saw that they are operating a lot more aggressively on the east side of taiwan and really sandwich in taiwan in a way that it's going to make it a lot harder for any kind of outside support. which means a block k in the future might in fact just going to be the right direction and the right strategy for china to really impose on a potential time one invasion corresponded william young with. thank you very much with him to not have

a look at some of the other stories making headlines. a caught in china as sentence to prominence human rights lawyers to jail terms of more than 10 years each. should the young and things or she were convicted of states of version. both men were key members of the new citizens movement, a civil rights group, the cause for constitutional reform and criticizes government corruption. the palestinian health ministry says israeli forces of kill the palestinian during a raid on refugee camp of the of the pied west bank. the statement said the 15 year old boy was shot in the head chest and abdomen. israel said its troops entered the up jabar camp to apprehend a terraces. 7 a boat with some 400 people on board as a drift in the mediterranean seat and its taking on water. the support service alarm phone says it received a call from the vessel,

adding that nobody on board could steer because the captain had left believe the boat departed from libby on saturday night. heading for europe. a trance of classified us intelligence, intelligence documents, as appeared on the internet revealing details about the war and ukraine. information includes the number of casualties suffered on both sides vulnerabilities of the ukrainian and russian armies and strategic information regarding a sprint offensive. while pentagon officials are quoted as saying the documents are real, there are speculation that some versions shared online may have been modified. so let's take a look in more detail. the documents indicate that ukraine could run out of edison's missiles within weeks and that ukraine has suffered significant casualties . although fewer than russia, they also say a small contingent of nato forces are operating within ukraine. regarding russia, the leaked intelligence suggests that the war is heading towards a stalemate,

and the russia will not capture the don bass region. it also states us intelligence as penetrated, rushes military and is warning ukraine about attacks. documents also predict the kremlin will launch a propaganda campaign against african leaders supporting ukraine. the revelations have prompted concerns that the leeks could provide putting the playbook on how to gain the upper hand again in ukraine. so how worried should the ukrainians be? and i put that question to don't wait till a 2nd most. so she's a senior electron conflict and security with the department of war studies at kings college london. well, i think that i'm on the one hand, this is a my to very serious leak. and what, what i think is, is warring from that western perspective on the ran your perspective is the fact that what we call sources and methods potentially could be identified specially sort of the satellite. i imaging mechanisms that the united states is using. and

that could lead to russia, trying to, in some way sort of interfere or jammed the system. so ukraine certainly is worried about the fact that, you know, intelligence is being sort of openly shared and russians have access to it. now i'm not so sure that this would in many ways sort of undermine the ukrainian offensive because some of you know, a lot of information that he's out there. we already knew problems with ammunition problems with our defense systems. and this what this he also showing that you know that u. s. government and allies are trying to feeling is gaps. so this is now already a month old, and i think that to are, you know, the ukrainians are not going to launch account offensive in a very weak position, especially in terms of ad defense. because if they don't have an effective and consistent, it's clear that russia can then sort of overwhelm any forces. i tried to carry out

account your french. so i would be surprised. yes, i just started her up to that, but the whole of all these leagues likely to affect morale, for example, among ukrainian troops. i think it will not be an element of more. i think what it would really affect is probably our ukrainian concern about to hurt sharing more, you know, about americans not, not being sort of entirely reliable in terms of guarding their information which as we know topic for ukrainians for the last year. so they're worried about sharing information with americans because of leaks, but at the same time, you know, ukrainians when i very much on these intelligence on what this has shown is how accurate american intelligence was in many opportunities on how much they have penetrated the russian as sort of security and intelligence, you know, mechanisms. so i think it might need to sort of are concerned on low moran. i'm on

sort of the leadership of the forces. but i think this is not something that can, you know, prevent the operation from being carried out on corporation to continue. i think the americans is as a reading point and wake up cool to sort of be a lot more careful with that with how they i said, you know, how they protect their own intelligence and unite might eat ukrainians, being a lot more reluctant to share information with, with the united states, my day, you know, the america that they're ukrainians right now you're not on this information by the americans are providing. so i think that you might, you know, it might be a situation where both have an interest in crying to continue or very positive corporation to ukrainian sexy their own. so until us over most of the, from kings college and london. thank you very much for sharing your expertise with us. northern ireland, as mark in the 25th anniversary of the landmark good friday peace agreement that

largely ended 3 decades of bloodshed. on april the 10th 1998, the irish and british prime ministers signed the deal, which was later ratified by a referendum to set up a new government that would share power between protestant and catholic fractions. northern ireland is part of the united kingdom, but many in the catholic minority resented british rule and wanted to be part of the sovereign republic of ireland and other i worry that briggs, it may have put that harp on peace and risk did abuse. bigger mass has more from belfast, lately. hol, boxing club used to be staunchly protestant to day young boxes from all areas of belfast are allowed to train here including catholics. young people in northern ireland still grow at largely segregated. it's rear. that catholic and protestant pupils are in the same schools. for example, i can hear them catherine baller of each other. ha ha. and here,

this is word of got the media and neither there meets they would never have mad each other. just walked over the street a fail thought. all these young men and boys here are aware of potential 3 if you're passing certain areas that are conflicts, pharmacy, oh, if they know your process that might not like it. but most of the time, the small, i got there sort of, um. com. varnum law on there more for a given just around the corner from the club, though protestant militants are being celebrated. it's their loyalty to britain that defines these so called loyalist paramilitaries, that still have a grip on areas like this. some protestant, angry because they fear that the british identity as being stripped away and that bricks it is bringing northern ireland closer to the republic of ireland. but on the other side of the divide, many catholics. a hoping for re unification with the republic of ireland. pet,

she in used to be a member of the i r a, he spent 18 years in prison for committing terror attacks and was released as part of the peace process. today, he's sure that a united ireland can be achieved peacefully. what i think bragg said has gone as accelerate the discussion under beard, around or united ireland. ah, because we have seen that the, the day in m. o and the driving force behind brackson was english nationalism throughout belfast and other areas in northern ireland. so called peace walls are separating protestant and catholic areas. bombay street is in a catholic area just behind one of these walls to day most nights a quiet. but since breaks it, residents have noticed more tension to source in a that's caused even more debate between the 2 sides of the community. once practically came along, people still than that. read little's liam's and get results. some politicians are

blocking the regional assembly over brick set, leaving a dangerous political void. the is a concern. if there is an access to exclusively democratic and peaceful means of expressing a political views, that there is m a certain logic. and in some people's minds to the use of violence to express political viewpoints. people in northern ireland don't want to go back to the old days to the so called troubles. they want to move forward in peace, but brag that has created new borders and new divisions, and it's made clear peace in northern ireland cannot be taken for granted. earlier am i spoke with d. w. brussels correspondent, ludowici, or short term of the asked her why it has been so difficult to reconcile, breaks it with the northern ireland peace agreement. yes, rex had made one thing clear. there is a border on the island of ireland before breakfast. you couldn't feel that border

so much because they were both both countries. the u. k and the republic of ireland were part of the european union. so there was a free flow of trade and goods. so there were no barriers. when rex had happened and the u. k decided to step out of the european union. there was the question of how do you deal with the new border. everyone agreed and it was clear that you have to avoid having a so called hot border on the island of i, on the island island. so they have decided to put the trade order in the i received this lead to control at the northern irish border, which then for example, the democratic union union, this party said are an effective feria between northern island and the rest of the u. k. so they have been not content with that and ever since they have been discussions around this and the democratic union is party ready,

hurt is boycotting right now to form a government in northern ireland. so a very, very complicated situation that's been difficult for years and you has now reached the new agreement with u. k prime minister, which is sooner to smooth straight. can you tell us a bit about that? yes, so there has been a new agreement found. it's called the so called winter agreement, there, mainly 2 things. on the one hand, they make a difference between goods that come from the u. k to northern ireland and goods that come from the u. k to the rest of the european union. also true, the republic of ireland these for the 1st one showed a good fit. i decided to stay in northern ireland, there are so called green lanes that are being introduced. and for the rest there should be lanes. and this should also use the trade between the u. k and northern ireland. and then there has also been a new idea of introducing something called

a storm and break, which would allow the northern ireland to block under certain conditions, the application of new european union law. there has been a vote and the u. k. government over this, the d u p. did not vote in favor for this very briefly please, will this ensure a peace in northern ireland. it's still early days, so what is important now is that the d u p comes back to the table and come spec to governing in northern ireland. there has been riches sooner has been saying just just now that there is a lot of work to be done. and also the irish prime minister has been calling on and on both on the due p to come back and also said that he is confident that this will be resolved in the coming months. wanted to check in, in brussels. thank you. and as a cypress,

another island that has been plagued by divisions for almost 50 years. cyprus was cut in 2 in 1974 after a series of conflicts that led to turkey occupying the northern half 1983. the north union unilaterally declared independence, which is only recognized by turkey. today, the northern part is largely populated, but turkish cypriots and the south by greek cypriots b. united nations maintains a buffer zone to avoid any further hostilities between the 2 sites. the w's gonna colonel, went to cyprus, to report on a choir that brings together people from the 2 sides with music. road blocks, walls, and barbed wire have been part of nickel caea for more than 48 years. the capital remains divided to this day, split into a greek and turkish part, just like the rest of cyprus. the greek cypriot to your go speedo,

finds it difficult to accept the political deadlock and that there is no prospective of reunification. he looks over to the turkish side, the retiree says the reconciliation should no longer be left to the politicians. i see and realize that if they let us on our own, i mean citizens, or we could have hot grade left to day, yoko speedo experiences just how great this could be in the ball, communal choir for peace, lena melanie, doom, greek and turkish cypriots, sing together in the name of peace and reconciliation in this choir, where music surmount, political, and linguistic borders. mustafah air sultan has been in the choir for a year and a half. the architect from the turkish north meets his coral colleague your post before the concert. the board can still only be crossed by

a check points. mustafah is used to this. he grew up with the division just like his turkish fans. and then i have participated for the choir. oh, i tell them we are laying the of them. they'll be surprised. i'll think of you field of yard doing something for your own country for peace, 40 reunification. it shows from the time they see us on stage with a wide pros like that with color of appease. and they cannot ever understand who is creek, who is turkish same happy's, the same songs, the same attitude. so step by step, i think we're influencing every law who is turkish and who is greek. none of that matters when the choir gets together, as can be seen at this piece concert in the greek part of the capital. one of the

proponents of re unification are now a minority in cyprus. but the quire won't give up and it's a full house at the auditorium ah, together with the whole choir, your goals and mustafah perform the song, sorry. the turkish choir members ask for forgiveness in greek. and the greek members do the same in turkish. they understand that one requirement for reconciliation is recognizing the other side, suffering o, at the end of the concert, they sing the song, my homeland has been split into which of the 2 sides shall i love? both is the answer given by your ghost wooster fi. and the other singers in the piece choir of cyprus
