[000:00:00;00] ah ah ah this is dw, use life from berlin adrift and in danger in the middle of the mediterranean, pulled in a 1000 migrants from north africa hope to be rescued after a surgeon arrivals on the italian island of land producer. ty,

one's defense ministry says chinese wash ships and day across to still operating around the island. a day off, the beijing declared an end to which wargames will bring you the latest from the chinese capital. as us intelligence suggests, fighting in ukraine's east is adding to style made a few remaining residents of the besieged city of buck. vote tried to get by without electricity and years after being given the right to the event work in south africa. thousands of cimbawe, we had to wait a port ruling today on whether they'll be forced to late. ah, i've been fooling welcome. there's a new surge of migrants from africa trying to reach europe. rescue as a trying to help 1200 people, a drift on 2 boats in the mediterranean sea between italy and greece. the italian

coast guard is coordinating the rescue, the migrants stranded on over crowded fishing boats, authority, se there's been a shop increasing crossings with thousands of africans arriving on the island of lam, producer in the last few days at many, never make it 8 group say at least 2 people died and 20 went missing after their boat sank on 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 to anyone. good. and 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 better in the same period and 2022. many of those people actually in conflicts, 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.

mikaela is the director of the north africa and saw hill observatory at the global initiative against transnational organized crime. i asked him what sort of danger these stranded migrants are in was significant for a number of reasons which we're very familiar with but, but also for some reasons which, which we're less familiar with in the sense that there's been a phenomenon over the past. couple of years where a number of vessels have been leaving from the east of libya to reach italy. and another group leaving turkey directly for, for italy. and, and this increases the risk exponentially because we're talking about a much longer journey, etc. which compounds the usual risk factors, which includes, you know, the lack of safety of the vessels used the exaggerated number of people on board. the sometimes lack of seamanship,

of the people actually steering the vessels so on so forth. other efforts to track down the perpetrators. i mean, these migrants paid huge sums to illegal traffickers who put them out to seek and left them there to fend for themselves. basically. yes, there are. there are not sufficient unfortunately. so over the past few years that have been a number of initiatives taking place, which can be very quickly categorized and 2 baskets. one of them has to do with border control, putting a boarders putting up was defenses of the borders on board. those have mix rate of success. in some cases, there are successes and flows of migrants have been reduced through these measures . in some cases, they actually create a market for smugglers, whereas migrants would have previously been able to cross the border without the help of a smuggler. suddenly there's a barrier, so there's a market for someone to help actually cross cross that barrier. the 2nd baskets of,

of measures have been international prosecutions, international investigations and prosecution. the how these have been few and far between and, and i should include also sanctioning of smugglers in this category bar where they have been begun. there have been some measures of success, not necessarily just in relation to the individuals involved, but also in the chilling effect they have had on groups of migraines operating in certain areas. the problem very often is that the follow up is weak and the consistency is weak. so we see some progress. we see some damage done to some smuggling networks, but then the progress is not followed on and different smugglers replace. the ones that have that have bus or, or been arrested or have dismantled their business sounds award. italy's prime minister has been threatening with

a naval blockade against micro boats. what would happen then? well we've seen the saw the rhetoric in the past when, when it comes to ideas of naval brigades. so if this were. busy really to be implemented and the big question is on the if, because it takes quite substantial efforts to entrench a naval blockade. so my guess is there would be a diversion. so. busy perhaps in the short term, we would see a massive, a grinding to a halt. but eventually we would see the difference modeling networks, routing their operations and finding new ways of operating. we have seen this countless times and various different territories. they sound like a bunch. my kind of thank you very much for being on the w,

my kind of thing from the north africa and south hell observatory. taiwan says chinese warships and military aircraft are still operating around the island. a day off, the beijing announced the end of military drills, trying to practice striking and locating time one in 3 days of exercises. aging said they served as a warning to proponents of time and he's independent and any foreign interference. the islands president st when condemns china, is actions describing them as irresponsible and a friend to regional stability. journalist family and crash met joins us from beijing. how have the chinese been portraying these drills? well i'm the chinese government basically said that the drills are, quote unquote, a warning against independence activists and also against separatists. and. and the main message was that the taiwan issue was a purely am domestic affair. and we will not m, yeah,

tolerate any foreign interference. and or as far as the media reporting goes, there was no priority m r. the reporting was online and basically repeating the official stands. what i found really concerning was that am the people's liberation army. the chinese military was publishing a video, which was really very wor, glorifying. there were basically m as showing those drilled stable were with m bombastic musical score a lot of our fighter jets taking off and basically portraying those drills as, as some patriotic walk in a font that really very concerning. actually there were no critical undertones on that issue. at all, does any of this, though, increase the likelihood of an invasion of taiwan so at an invasion probably will build up over the course of several months. for example, you will see a lot of mobilization of troops, et cetera. so, and it's not very likely that an invasion will start um, basically in the heat of earth, of some of our military drills and i think m,

it's not the time for that yet. i mean, if you talk to, i'm diplomats here european diplomats and beijing than they am, tell you there could be a time frame of the next 10 to 15 years. why? because m a seating ping might suggest that he wants to see this vision of her era yards, our re, unified china as he tells it. and he wants to experience it in the span of his lifetime. some u. s. generals even say that a truce of 1027 could be a date that we should watch out for because until then, a lot of those are modernizing programs of the people liberate at people's liberation. army will be finished, but officially there's no timelines, but they are. the chinese government has made it quite clear that it will. and also resort to a military means when it comes to taiwan, if it feels necessary to do so. and when it comes to europe, e u says it's friendly, opposed to any attempt to break the tie one's task or france, one's the block against entanglement in a foreign crisis. house paging view that debate yeah, i mean for baiting that was really a political gift, and there were

a lot of opinion pieces. he and the state media, which m a price m across the stands as quote, unquote reasonable and, and are rational. so am that's basically china strategy. they want to portray europe as a victim of u. s. pressure. and basically want to encourage europe to break away from a u. s. pressure and divide brussels and washington. so i think this rhetoric is um, exactly what china can hope for having fetch firm in beijing. thank you. let's take a look now at some of the other stories, making headlights, the national security minister in israel's far right government. each time i've been via joint crowds of jewish settlers as they matched, were full. a settlement at the west bank calling for re occupation. an official settlement at 80 on time was close by is may the authorities 2021 residence of louisville in the us state of kentucky have been holding vigils to more the victims

of a mass shooting authorities say a man armed with a rifle open fire on monday at the bank where he worked, he killed 5 people and wounded 9 others wildlife streaming attack before shooting and killing himself. the white house, as it's prepared for a long legal fight for women's reproductive rights. this time of access to an abortion pill. a show down over the drug, if a per stowed appears to be heading to the supreme court. if da approved, it's used 23 years ago, but a trump appointed federal judge has since ruled to suspend it. the u. s. government is reviewing risks to national secure, he following a major leak of classified defense documents. officials are trying to identify the source of the lake of the papers revealed sensitive details of us and nato assistance to ukraine in its war with russia. the documents which reportedly surfaced on social media platforms, also contained military secrets regarding china and the middle east dog national

firm. so are they likely to be more lakes? his 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 don't 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 it a matter of concern to us? your darn right. it is. officials in ukraine toward those lakes could complicate efforts to defeat the russian invasion. a source close to the ukrainian president has told the media. the leeks have prompted keith too old that some of its military plants is as us intelligence suggests dwindling. ukrainian ammunition stalks could see the battle in the east of the country,

heading towards stalemate for the rest of the year. russian forces continued to pound, ukrainian positions around the besieged city of buck mote. 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 your feet, these civilians are collecting aid supplies. the only inconvenience is that there is 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 killing the civilians. left here are grateful for every bit of help.

they can get you off of the aid is brought in by drivers like maxime, who often risk their lives on. so below some time ago it was scary or she'll socialist week, but now we've gotten used to it. but to welcome you don't pay attention. ah, it will be worse. anything can happen as i say, let go. there is one projectile for everybody. whatever can happen will happen guys . this man fled the fighting and back moot 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, 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

. i couldn't even take my usb stick with me because i couldn't get into my home. please 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. imagine having settled in a new country only to find out years later, you're being kicked out. that's the case for about 200 thousands in barbie and in south africa they were granted residency back in 2009 human rights groups have taken the government court, but the clock is ticking. the residence permit expire at the end of june t w's christine mahoney. what mer to teacher in johanna spoke, whose family heavily depends on today's corporal. far from his herman's and bob, we've been madsen really is contemplating the future. his life in south africa

might soon be coming to an end. he's been earning a living in johannesburg, teaching and waiting till the to pill did for me. good to week to were to school in the money. and then later, go to the restaurant. was the school in any mash of to the well around a mix is amy is learned when my insight to shoot him and the wife. in other words, his beautiful watch water seemed to madison, where i can live and work legally in south africa because he has as and bobby and exemption permit. these permits were offered to zimbabwe and who had been living in south africa and documented. and those who were seeking asylum autism,

bobby's violent election in 2008. now, after 12 years, the south african government is canceling. the permit and permit holders have been told to apply for work visas. but these will only be given to applicants with critical skills, like the majority of permit holders, madison res work is not considered to be critical over the border and below while his wife and 2 daughters worry about him having to return to zimbabwe. ancestry has made or whatever i just don't, i don't know how well making it into meeting decide to communicate with her. i'm any i can, i can assess. didn't finish, aren't or for tall people or the why should isn't your fees in the ending date carrying back to thing is really a life changing thing. it's me that i'll have to drop out of correlate and whatever it is that equality in i'm about to finish. so if he comes back to the end,

that means i have to drop out of college. living standards in zimbabwe have been in decline since the early 2. thousands to day, about half of the population is reported to be living in poverty. some bobbins have migrated to neighboring countries in big numbers. many have come to south africa. and this is growing actually, immigrants, south africa that hasn't time estimated, divide into tax on foreign national, have $200.00 popular in taking the end of the story. pay that the home is, we're always a temporary rearrangement and wait for citizenship. all permanent resident rights groups have off the court to stop the government from canceling the penance. there was no public consultation, was the stakeholders prior to the decision be made to terminate the payments. if

you have enabled people to farm families, found lives here and careers that you give them that fair opportunity to make representations so that you understand the circumstances of the lives and what they face when you make the decision to terminate. and that is absent in terms of the decision that has been made by the south african government has been my son would hope support will rule in favor of the appeal. he doesn't want to go back to the public judge or something. don't go big. the static game, it's fair to find them finding out other cause some way is if the court rejects the appeal, been my son, nora and others, and bobby an exemption permit holders have until the end of june to leave south africa. i spoke earlier with the w to circle motto from the court in pretoria.

i asked him what we can expect today today, what is up ending? their arguments are starting in court to the men applicant, which is the hellen sue, has been foundation is currently presenting is documented court. of course, as we had from that to put them in, i commit is that these people were not caught soft. it, they were not given a chance. they were not asked as to how this decision is going to affect them. so this is the men a presentation today that have been brought to that and number of organizations that are in support or for that application for the hellen sue has been foundation . so they have been given days from today to morrow, thursday and friday to present their cases. but also there are the open positions that are in support of the termination of the permit, meaning they supported the hon minister in terms of a 10 minute this payments. they are also going to be a, appeared before the judge's footprint of judges. hearing the smith i saw that went to present a bit. finally on friday, we're going to have had the home ad department here, home, a fest abutment,

or so answering and all these other groupings. then we expect a decision from the judge to so can you tell me what really is behind this south african legalize the status of these embalmed wins. living and working in the country, why don't they want them anymore? there are quite a number of issues at play here. i think the 1st issue is the economy council dot for guys facing high unemployment rate. and it is the feeling amongst a lot of other kenzie including one group that was protesting here. they're just marching around. they've just left the court here as saying, busy them, but when should go home? because if they go, they are creating spaces for them to wake. they're saying they don't get wake because of this and bumping. so these i sent him is that we have had from our south africans, but also is also a one to pull it confront. because there's all has been an argument that is in bobbins that have run out of the country should stay in their country in fix and there are problems there. but according to the home office department,

the official statements official position is that these permits where temporarily visit temperature permits. dan, you remember that in 2008, when there was political tip orleans or map with their flock into south africa. so they had to accommodate them, then they're saying the situation now is better. they should be going back. they can't remain in south africa at temper. i'm so these were not at permanent pay me saw the arm of department saying they are now canceling them. and in one want to come in should find another channel of applying for other families that the contest so to so what are their chances of stay if you listen to the arguments that have been put in quite to day air by the hell insulin foundation there are chances because they are saying, according to the constitution of the country, the administration of justice phase and authorities, when they are taking decisions that affecting people they have to consulted them and inform them get to how they're going to affect it. so they're saying this is going to make it a possible for them to, to,

to wind this case because this people were not consulted. we expected the attack just to make a final effect to take the end. but it is expected to that to and there may be allowed to stay, or at least longer than at june, $32.00. so kumato from atoria. thank you very much for the update on that story. and here are some other stories where keeping an eye on for you. south korea's national fire agency has issued its highest to load over a fast spreading forest fire in the eastern city of gung officials say dry weather and strong winds of fanning the flames. people living near by it being moved to safety. there are no reports of casualties. vic sand storms have covered the chinese capital beijing. measurements from the cities air quality index showed serious levels of pollution as dust drapes. in from the near by gobi desert, china's meteorological agency has one that a dozen provinces will be effected until wednesday morning. one of russia's most
