behind the past, they live for their mission. people need to know what is happening in our series guardians of truth watch now on youtube, d. w documentary. ah this is the w news life from berlin adrift and in danger in the middle of the mediterranean. more than a 1000 people hoping to be rescued after thousands more. arrived on the italian island of la producer, the weekend, also on the program. ty ones defense ministry says chinese warships and aircraft

are still operating around the island. and after beijing declared an end to ritz massey, ball games will bring the latest from the chinese capital. as u. s. intelligence suggested, i think in ukraine's east is having for stale mate. the few remaining residents of the city would try to get by without electricity or water. ah, i'm still gale. welcome to the program. rescue efforts are underway to help 1200 people, a drift on 2 boats in the mediterranean sea between italy in greece, italian coast guards as its vessels are coordinating the rescue of the migrants stranded on overcrowded fishing boats. authority save. i've seen a sharp increase in crossings recently with thousands of people arriving on the island of lamb, producer in the last few days, but many never make it 8 groups. at least 2 people died and 20th,

still missing. after that 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 the anyone with this isn't the only boat in distress 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 alone, 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 bet in the same period and 2022. many of those people actually 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. of feelings, vice springs for sea watch international. that's a german organization that runs rescue ships in the central mediterranean. i've started by asking him how these boats can end up with so many people on board a no captain. i mean, this is quite easy to describe because it is

a decision coming by smugglers. 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, all these hundreds of people arrive on the coast, they all get in the boat. i just pushed 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 the night we received information coming from the alarm form, which is emergency hotline for persons that the coast guard is still next to the boat. so the attorney scott that and an s good boy is more safer because the weather conditions also during the night were so bad, which makes the rescue operation actually quite tricky and difficult. but of course, i mean while crops up being washed in the town and sprints arrested, chips are getting blocked at the moment. and these trips who could stay out are getting forced by and you will try to decree to carry out only one rescue occupation. and then they also getting super import wide port time for this location. so 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

surge that seems to have occurred, this increase and the number of people trying to cross the mediterranean lately. it's really difficult to say, but of course the difficult human rights situation in tunisia, libya that we're going to see in the last couple of years, the crumbling economy. and the reason why the high inflation occupancy, driving people into concrete, the fleet, and the same time, for example, the president, tunisia has blamed my parents for the current situation, which has led to raises the text within the country. and lydia has faced several of the doors in the last couple of years, which made this country such a migration that we're going to see at the moment. but there are different kind of explain why. so many people are basically being libya to me at the moment. ok, thank you so much for joining us and outlining that for us. i feel it's vice from c washington national. thanks. i to taiwan,

where the defense ministry says it's detected chinese warships and military aircraft still operating around the island. the day after abrasion announced the end of military drills in the area. china carried out 3 days of exercises in which a practice striking and blockading taiwan. as in said, the exercises served as a warning to proponents avert taiwanese independence and against foreign interference islands. president saying, when has condemned china's actions described when he was irresponsible. the threat to stability in the region asked journalist or fabric crunch my in beijing, how these drills have been portrayed in china? yeah, i mean all the big state media, they have published a propaganda video by the liberation army. i mean, the chinese military, which basically showed this military drugs as some patriotic war game. i mean they shot a lot of 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 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 activist, so you will not find any divergent voices because this is really a sensitive matter 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, m 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 rhetoric was to be expected. i would not say that an 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 t p a timeline when day would, you know, for example, plan and 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 happen over night 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 m escalation that could get out of control. because you have a lot of warships and 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 brung assessment, run a wrong reaction and they could, that could, you know, start aspire escalation, spiral that could get out of control for being crushed in beijing would take

a look now as some of the other stories are making had minds around the world, the national security minister in israel's foreign government is in our bank via joined the crowds of jewish settlers as a master, a former settlement in the west bank, calling for it to be occupied. the unofficial settlement at every otter was closed by israeli authorities in 2021. whitehouse says it's prepared for a long legal fight for women's reproductive rights. this time of access to fortune till a showdown of the drug refers prestone. the 5th are stone, appears to be heading to the supreme court, the f. b. i approve that use 23 years ago. but a trumpet pointed federal judge since route to suspended south korea's national fire agents. he has issued its highest alert level in response to a fast spreading forest. in eastern city of gang known officials say dry weather and strong winds are found. the flames of people living near the fire being moved

to safety and there are no reports of casualties. and 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 lee after papers revealed sensitive details of nato, and to us assistance to ukraine in its war with russia. documents, which means report se surfaced on social media platforms also contain a military secrets regarding china and released. all right, so other than likely to be more leaks is whitehouse. 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 don't know who's responsible for this and we don't know if they have more that 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 don't write it? officials in ukraine are worried that those leagues could complicate efforts to defeat the russian invasion. a source close to the ukrainian president's is told the media that the legs are prompted ukraine to alter some of its military plans. of his s u. s. intelligence suggest dwindling. ukrainian ammunition stalks could see the battle in the east of the country, heading toward stalemate for the rest of this year. russian forces are continuing to pound ukrainian positions around the besieged eastern city of back. what this footage purportedly shows, parts of buck mood under russian control. vast areas of the city are in ruins in just a few kilometers from the front lines, inches, if you are,

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 in 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 aid is brought in by drivers, like maxime, who often risk their lives on to law some time ago. it was scarier show such as the week, but now we've gotten used to it, but to often you don't pay attention. ah, anything can happen as i say that there's one projectile for everybody or whatever can happen will happen guys. this man fled the fighting in buck

moot, 2 weeks ago on his bicycle. he says the destruction here in chests. 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? us 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 ludovic. ah, 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. is reminder of our top story at best. our

rescue efforts are underway to help 1200 refugees and migrants to drift on to the boats with notions when italy and threes, thousands of people have attempted to cross the mediterranean sea in recent days. to set you up to date pen facility, and we'll have more world news of the top of the of next here on d, w, a documentary close of takes a look at the satellite trash more news. of course on d, w dot com that the company have a good day. when you work as an architect, jacqueline, or not at all women in architecture, why are they so invisible to the larger public? we decided to ask them questions. what is the poetry the secret of a how.
