ah ah ah ah, this is d w. news live from berlin adrift and endangered in the middle of the mediterranean. more than a 1000 people hoping to be rescued after thousands more arrived on the italian island of lump producer of the weekend. also on the program. i wants defense ministry, says chinese warships and aircraft, still operating around the island

a day after beijing declared an end to its massive wargames. bring a delay just from the chinese capital i. c u. s. intelligence suggests fighting in ukraine's east is having to stay all night. the few remaining residents of the stage to get back more to try to get by without electricity or water. i'm from a pub and southern england. we bring you the trauma and excitement of the world marbles championships were serious. i'm so i, they, it seems ah, i'm feel gale. welcome to the program. rescue efforts are underway to help 1200 people adrift on 2 boats in the mediterranean sea between italy and greece. italian coast guards as its vessels are coordinating the rescue of the migrant stranded on

overcrowded fishing boats. authority say they've seen a sharp increase in crossings recently. the thousands of people arriving on the island of lamb, producer in the last few days, but many never make it a group say at least 2 people died and 20 are still missing. after their boat sank over the weekend, floating at sea, packed with people and without a captain to steer it. the ship is in a dire state. rescue is carried out a reconnaissance flight to assist the situation with this school from a nearby congo. be so laying out how bad things the boat is leaking with thinking the anyone with this isn't the only boat industries in the area. another one, carrying 800 people is also adrift. thousands of people have tried to

make the treacherous journey across the mediterranean. on this weekend, a lorn, the italian coast guards it almost 2000 migrants had been rescued from vessels in distress. from friday through to monday. official figures show over $28000.00 migrants have arrived in italy since the start of the year, almost 4 times better in the same period and 2022. many of those people, a flea in conflict, violence and persecution. while the numbers are still much lower than the hundreds of thousands rescued during 2015 age groups are wanting more government help is needed to stop lives being lost at sea, unnecessarily. a favorite vice springs for sea watch international as a german organization that runs rescue ships in the central mediterranean. i

started by asking him how these boats can end up with so many people on board and no captain. i mean, this is quite easy to describe because it is a decision coming by smugglers. and so therefore, these departures either come to the auto need or are quite a people who are organizing districts just have money in the end and not really the safety of the person on the boat. right? so the only the hundreds of people arrive on the coast, they all get in the boat. i just push the boat off and let them get on with it. that's. that's as far as that goes. absolutely, i mean there are different kinds of procedures basically. and for us, it's also really unclear how this entire system is work. but this board, for example, to book which is in the east from the journey anyway, will take up to 34 days in italy. so to put that amount of money on the boat,

like this is absolutely dangerous and they have absolutely no interest. basically in the safety of the person. now, italian authority to say more than 2000 people have been rescued since friday was likely to happen to them now. and it really is new right when government, which is a promise to track down on migration. so during your life we received information coming from the alarm form, which is the emergency hotline for persons with coast guard is next to the boat. so the attorney goes got to clear that an s good voice is more safer because the weather conditions also during the night were so bad, which makes a rescue operation actually quite tricky. and we difficult but of course, i mean a while crops are being washed in the talent strengths, respite chips are getting blocked at the moment. and these ships who could sail out are getting forced by and you were trying to create to carry out only one rescue operation. and then they also getting

a super far port and white board assigned for this implications for this entire measurement, basically is coming out to the results that we're going to see in the central mediterranean sea right now. what's behind this search that seems to have occurred, this increase in the number of people trying to cross the mediterranean lately? it's really difficult to say, but it's of course, the difficult human rights situation in tunisia and libya that we're going to see in the last couple of years, the crumbling economy in these countries and very high inflation. i community driving people in the country to flee. and in the same time, for example, president tunisia has blamed migrant for the current situation, which has led to raises the textbook in the country and libya essay several of the doors in the last couple of years, which made this country such migration that we're going to see at the moment, but there are different kind of explanation why so many people are basically seeing

the media at the moment. thank you so much for joining us and i live in that for us . i feel it's vice from sea watch international. thanks. not to taiwan, where the defense ministry says it has detected chinese warships and military aircraft. still operating round the island a day after beijing announced the end of military drills in the area. china carried out 3 days of exercises in which it practiced striking and blockading taiwan. beijing sent the exercises served as a warning to proponents of taiwanese independence and against foreign interference . islands, president, sighing wound has condemned china's actions describing them as irresponsible. the threats of stability in the region. i asked journalist foreign craftsman in beijing how these drills have been portrayed in china. yeah, i mean all the big state media, they've published a propaganda video by the liberation army. and i mean, the chinese military, which basically showed this military drills as some patriotic war game. i mean,

they shot a lot of, you know, fighter jets are taking off a lot of their soldiers receiving orders. and they also showed her a virtual animation of the precision star strikes that the military assimilated against am strategic targets in taiwan. so there's really only one message and that is the chinese military is ready to quote unquote liberate the island. and also will a tech m separate activists. so you will not find any divergent voices because this is really a sensitive met and there's a lot of censorship going on. so this is really the official line that are basically all the media here is following. so is that official lied in response to the recent her visits between taiwan and u. s. m, or is an invasion actually, seeming to become more likely now? no, i mean the reaction by the chinese military and also the official ret rhetoric was

to be expected. i would not say that invasion has become more likely. i mean, the official line is also that the chinese government makes a clear that they want to m a rule over taiwan and that they will also, if necessary, use military force. so, i mean, there is quite clear, but there's no to clear timeline when day would, you know, for example, plan an evasion or, or, i mean, if that will be in the next years, or in 10 years, 20 years or 30 years. i mean, no one really knows, and it's expected that there will be a lot of, you know, building up like the mobilizing of troops and other movements that you could also observe with satellite imagery. so i don't think it will not happen overnight or with her day to day escalation. but i mean, those military drugs are really, i'm a dangerous because there's a lot of room for. yeah, an escalation that could get out of control because you have a lot of warships and a fighter jets of the chinese army. then you have the time on these troops. you have m u s. m. warships also in the region. and i mean it just one wrong assessment,

run a wrong reaction and they could, that could, you know, start aspire escalation spiral that could get out of control. me were we have the front president emanuel macro of the weekend saying that europe must not be a follower of either the u. s. or china and taiwan. and that the block risk entanglement and crises that aren't ours. those are his words. how was that received in beijing? i mean that's basically a gift to beijing. the strategy of the chinese government is to divide m a brussels and a washing they don't want a transatlantic alliance. they want to convince a europe that it should emancipate itself from the u. s line and am i run it when macro, who came to baiting eci to, to demonstrate european unity. he has undermined the european strategy of when he says this conflict is not ours. he might actually encourage a seating ping to invade taiwan because and the reaction that he might fear from

europe might not be that great. i mean, that's basically what the democrat was saying. so it's really a very dangerous rhetoric, in my opinion. thank your vote. father fabbing crunch more in beijing and his look at some more stories making headlines around the world. the national security minister in israel's foreign government to mob been given a joint crowds of jewish settlers as a march to a former settlement in the west bank. calling for it to be reoccupied. the unofficial settlement at every otter was closed by israeli authorities in 2021. south korea's national fire agency, his issued its highest alert level in response to a fast spreading forest fire. in the eastern city of gang, no official say dry weather and strong winds have found the flames. people living there, the fire are being moved to safety and there are no reports of casualties. police in northern ireland have been pelted with petrol bombs during the republican parade

. through the city of dairy, also known as london, dairy islands, a courtesy demonstrators who want not to become part of the republic of ireland and marched to commemorate the $916.00 eastern rising against british rule. in the u. s. government is reviewing risks to national security following a major leak of classified defense documents. officials are trying to identify the source of the leak after papers reveal sensitive details of u. f and nato assistance to ukraine in its war with russia. documents which me to report say surface on social media platforms also contain military secrets regarding china. i'm at least so other likely to be more lakes is white house. national security council spokesman john kirby. so we're taking this very, very seriously. there is no excuse for these kinds of documents to be in the public domain. we all know who's responsible for this and

we don't know if they have more that they, they intend to post. so we're watching this and monitoring it as best we can. but the truth and the honest answer to your question is, we don't know, and is that a matter of concern to us? you know, right. it is. meanwhile, officials in ukraine, a worry the lakes could complicate the countries efforts to defeat the russians on the battlefield. a source close to the ukrainian president has told us news network cnn, that the big of prompted you cried to alter some of its military plans. this is u. s. intelligence suggest dwindling. ukrainian ammunition stops. could see the battle in the east of the country. and being for a stalemate, for the rest of 2023 of his comes as russian forces continued to pound, ukrainian positions around the besieged eastern city of back mart. this footage purportedly shows parts of buck, mood under russian control. vast areas of the city are in

ruins. i am just a few kilometers from the front lines, inches. if you're thinking these civilians are collecting aid supplies the only inconvenience is that there's no running water. without electricity, you can get by somehow, but without water and washing detergent, i asked them and they gave me a bottle. i like to bring it over to the farm today. we can wash our clothes and ourselves lame. the civilians left here are grateful for every bit of help. they can get you off the roof. the aid is brought in by drivers like maxime, who often risk their lives. poor little unsure, blue some time ago it was scarier. she'll such as weak. but now we've gotten used

to it, but to often you don't pay attention. ah, it will be worse. anything can happen as i say, that there is one projectile for everybody possible. whatever can happen will happen guys. this man fled the fighting in buck mood 2 weeks ago on his bicycle. he says the destruction here and just if yar is just as bad as in buck mood only one in 10 buildings is still intact. it was a shed. why is this happening to us as people who do not have anything to do with this? i just turned 60 and everything that i made with my own hands. i had to leave behind 3 up. i couldn't even take my usb stick with me because i couldn't get into my home . please loony ludovic. while military vehicles head to the front lines,

a few civilians cling on. many of those still here, do not have enough money to go elsewhere. so is there any hope for civilians traps in the besieged city? asked our special correspondent abraham in keith. well, so it's been difficult to get accurate information out of buttons over the past couple of weeks since it has become a major flash. we're in this conflict, but what we do know with great certainty, is any semblance of civilian life in buffalo has probably completely disappeared at this point. just to give our viewers a bit of context pre war buttonwood had had a civilian population of about 70000. i'm told by volunteers who were trying to evacuate people from bottom with that, that number now is you know, around a 1000 to 2000 or so, and it's mostly civilians like old people who refused to evacuate at this point saying, you know, as we've heard, entrust if you are in the reporting, you know,

this is all i had, this is all i know are people who just like the resources who just can't see white life for them would be like outside of the place that they've known all of their lives. and you know, we, we do know that this has become an important place, but more for both sides, russian and ukrainian. and so we can say that, you know, life there is probably impossible at this point for civilians and talk us through the ukrainian reaction to this league of secret us intelligence about the war or can't imagine that and they're, they're, they're particularly amused by this. the korean side has been through this war, very guarded about, it's information, what it says to the outside world. but what is a great example is actually very, very difficult to get exact information from ukrainian officials about what's going on there. we've heard from official saying that this is, you know, that there's, that there's russian mis information in there somehow trying to dismiss them. but

we know, of course, from the american side that the authenticity of these documents has been, has been confirmed. we've also heard from other ukrainian officials, there's been a reports saying that, you know, while the strategy, the overall strategy of ukraine will not change because of these leaks, the tactics that go into that strike, it will likely have to be adjusted. i to make sure that the ukrainian site is not a compromised at so much. and one of the league documents indicates that ukraine's the air defense arsenal could be depleted within weeks. i'm talk us or what that's likely to mean for day to day life and you cry. that would be absolutely devastating. i mean, the reason why i am able to stand here and speak to you outside with a clear sky. it's a beautiful, sunny day here, and key of is things to these air defense systems that has been what has guaranteed civilian life here in the capital and in many other parts of ukraine. throughout

the war of our viewers will remember in the early stages of the war, ukrainian demands about closing the sky because at the very beginning they just didn't know what was coming at them. you had a tax from the sky coming on civilians all the time. and things to these air defense systems. that's what's, that's what has, you know, to a large extent, a saved civilian lives and life. and of course they've been crucial on the battlefield. so that will be absolutely devastating. phil, thanks for that. i abraham and keith is look now at small stores, making headlines around the world will start in brazil were president and louis in massey, luna, to silver. so silly advice is chinese counterpart jean pink to brazil on eve of his trip to beijing. luda said he wanted to show president g projects that could interest chinese investors. marking a 100 days since returning to power at lula has promised to put brazil back on the world stage. major fixed dance fixed sandstorms have covered the chinese capital
