like raging is still like sending worship and, and we're, we're playing around the high wind like we are like, yesterday they were more than 10 of them being detected and one day earlier they were over 20 of them. so it's like no try not to military ocean that happen very frequently nowadays. so taiwan is the ultimate goal of carry out such curios is really to be charged the aging of from, you know, like come see during our terry, our real estate agent and the order to do so times trying to make the price you know, so high that china as president heating, he will not want to pay taiwan, says that his learned lessons from the war in ukraine and that this will be reflected in the drills. tell us more about the as well. um, actually today's drill is a very good example of how try lice high one is learn a song, you know, defense strategy from ukraine. this morning, tyler,

and carry out for the 1st time military drill at tower international airport is the largest and b. this us a viewing of the port in taiwan and trying to soldiers are practicing how to prevent chinese army from power to the place and how to improve. then how to reclaim a tower. i control how or if it was taken over by the chinese army. and this is, this is an idea learning from ukraine because, you know, like at a very 1st beginning restaurant, a tie, one of you, frank, airport and ukraine and take it back later in this kind of reminded on taiwan as a defense ministry of how important and vulnerable an airport can be like during a will, a massive store may have super type food and actually is headed towards tie one. what effect is that having on the drills?

well, this is really and on you 2nd a situation and now the type from doc 3 is kind of a lingering about a tie, 1000 war tests. so, and it's for recovery is reaching the south and part of taiwan. and it's causing a lot of sound poor and, and strongly. so yesterday, wonder if the airport drill side was supposed to take him to be taiwan. was 10 sold in because the drills are going to continue until friday. so i actually don't know yet whether or not other 5 of the said drills where the cancer or for spine each and thank you very much. that was huge. and lee from the use bureau there in taipei as well are correspond to tv calling is also covering this story. she's in hong kong. phoebe how is china? reacting to taiwan is military drills while the hasn't been

much official response from beijing since taiwan starts at israel on monday, but uh, facing, has been showing as minutes where your gestures ahead of time, once a new exercise, that's over the weekend. at least $45.00, china's wall plains and to tie wants added since identification. so and just 2 weeks ago in china stage a large scale and exercise on his own um, sending uh a flight test boma strows and warships to taiwan south and even like some of the aircraft even cross time on straits median light approaching a tie was to and can take to us so, so that is considered a, a harassment from the time one this perspective and, and facing, is doing more, doing it more often done before, uh over the past year. so, um, this is something that aging is trying to send a deterring site know to taiwan the head, up to the trail as high to intimidate on and not to like, oh,

the react in terms of like minutes re x bet and china is rated. i stepping up as much as to upgrade to, to one against the island. tension between taiwan and china had been growing for years now. phoebe some say it's just a matter of time before those tensions boil over, where the thing stand, no, of the well by saying has been expending is mandatory actions of 4 years. and over the last year, it has even become more frequent and specific targeting the item itself that traditional lead hiwassee administrative thinking is to make, use office east coast. i'm multimedia coastline. entrepreneurs serve a regroup as far as, as if any conflicts happen because that's i of the on, doesn't face china directly, but beijing is now trying to counter the kind of strategy that over the last year.

but i've seen many, a china small ships and a war planes of sending off to the east coast of taiwan and or even surrounding the island to time to counter the kind of strategy and of beijing is really like sending message to on to other than that it is taking like any type of means to, to um, to take it back by 4th, if necessary, that he has emphasized from time to time. and it has also trying to launch this information campaign. so i choose by the time when it's so far too. so we can see paging is using like getting yourself prepared in every kind of aspects. maybe thank you very much. that was our correspond tv call in hong call. let's catch up on some other stories making headlines around the world today. a court has found 6 man guilty of murder for the 2016 bombing attacks in brussels. 2 others were found guilty of membership and a terrorist organization. 32 people were killed in more than 300 injured in the

a deal allowing ships to safely carry grain from ukrainian ports. global weight prices have spiked by as much as 15 percent of response to concerns about the global food supply. european union has now said it is ready to move almost all of you cranes agricultural goods by a road and rail through its territory. but now moscow stepping up, it's a tax on ukrainian export infrastructure. ukraine's rainy river port inflamed film from the remaining side of the border, the after repeated attacks on this as black sea port. russia has now begun targeting alternative export routes as well. on monday you create in the forty's reported several warehouses full of grain destroyed by drones . and the printing port town on the didn't you before russia's invasion in 2022. the cream was the 4th largest exporter of green, mainly wheat cord,

and barley shipped via the black sea to country such as egypt, bangladesh, and indonesia. what was the start of its full scale war? the russian navy blocked old green exports from ukraine, seaports. food and security and serving prices on the market where the results deal broken by the u. n. and turkey. last summer allowed for a limited exports of last week rush. i pulled out a leading cream and its allies gets again, scram before solutions. roughly 60 percent of ukrainian green already passes to so called solidarity lanes, alternative land roots through e u. member states bordering ukraine. and there are plans to further increase capacity like here. and the remaining ports of deluxe of the board. the cream is a different rail track gauged and most of its european neighbors. but

a duel track system is being built and go out to to make the delivery to cross the border easy. and with a recent attacks on the ukrainian ports, there may be more work here. so so now these, these, the signals from ukraine inside of their 4 days ago, we had a meeting organized by the, your pin and the done, you'd commissions. this is what we discussed how both berella and gelati will become a central pause for transporting grains out of ukraine, but not just only serials watch it in the meanwhile, on the black sea itself. the remaining port of constance so has already become a major alternative route for retraining. bring since the beginning of this year, it has handled more than $15000000.00 metric tons of greens, a 25 percent increase on the previous year. at the moment, there was additional capacity,

the poor director tells us that this could change when remaining, and farmers also start shipping their later harbors to constance to succeed, to solve this problem, these, the trees, the speed or the flow itself. so it means that one day, the pro 5, or we can profile mazda block price by using the speed, making the movement of the great more efficient. he gains the warranty fees for both or may have some pretty hot weather by land or by sea operators everywhere or seek you to increase capacity. as the global grain prices continue to rise. for more in this were joined by commander goods to be stuck. a researcher at the german institute for international and security affairs here in berlin. he's experts on baltic countries, nato and defense planning, as well as maritime security. welcome to the program. this is for the tech we just heard about several alternative routes for ukrainian brand exports. talked to us

1st about the danube river route. how safe is that route and your opinion? good morning, 1st of all, yes, the w. riverdale to which a shift by your train remains to be a very efficient trenches rolled forward rate fast because you can use in then water ships which can transport a large amount grain been a more, we tend to buy a wire really. so using this as an alternative, wouldn't be a good way to transport new trace rain problem places, but s c. in the last days, russia has already targeted to these waterways and the infrastructure along these motivators. so to know a train using this alternative. so it's not without considerable risk because we've already seen what about using ukraine's rail network. you

mentioned rail uh for transporting the grain. what's fixed against that to well, it has been used in the past is use drove the speed, but the way over is limited to pass it to you, how much grain you can put on trains. but also the range of ways limits can just bring a certain amount of trains on these railroad tracks and then on the other side. so these rail station way you can take all the rain and carry on the transportation for other places. so all these capabilities and capacity is very much limited compared to using waterways and using ships the highest seas ships in the black sea or using the ships the ukraine would still like to ship. it's grain through the black sea, despite russian threats. the ukraine would like to do that with the help of

a security s court. is that viable but who if anyone would provide such and as court as well, that's a very complex expression. truthfully, i don't see any contempt provide the s corps, because that would mean they could get attacked by russian ships and trinity that can escalate to destruction. participating in the s corps, the ships, uh, adams. uh russia. and this was in, you know, as far as i can see, to get them when they find the information. so any other organization for this, so it must be some kind of coolness really. then the other aspect is western cape abilities. who coach every consider that is being prepared to. ready provide such as call. so if you look at the black sea regional as complex, so you have controls. yeah. but by trogie, by using,

by using the control convention for any struggle ships. so the remaining countries for buying these capabilities, jody. we english what have such ships and romania will guard the shot limits made on capabilities. they charge power. so for so task specific types provide some security but especially the better provide security. the world needs ukrainian grain. it's a question of food security for many countries, considering everything you've just said. what do you think is the best option here for getting ukraine's grain to the rest of the world? secure? currently exploring all types of rules, the best option of the green market. so very close, and the 1st part drain the market, right?

if you take off some amount from these flows, marcus, digital increase to prices, but also increase the competition of the exports of the race for transportation. so in a certain amount is missing. so we required to price stable the training gray or re whatever. that's fine, all a and 2 weeks for this. yes, we need to look in terms of using motivation skills via security. these faults and group a capabilities, right? this is driven sophistic from the german institute for international and security affairs. thank you very much. my pleasure.

now, scientists say recent heat waves affecting southern europe, china and north america would have been impossible without human made climate change. a rabbit analysis by the world whether attribution group found the current high temperatures have been boosted by the build up of greenhouse gases. algeria is one of the mediterranean countries suffering from record breaking heat way record breaking heat wave and wild fires. at least $34.00 people have died in the places which have scorched vast areas, forest, and destroyed hopes, a wall and size of binding across out curious, northern and eastern coastal regions. 5 bye to administrate at cost of bath and to control thousands of places in far as an agricultural areas. big stream heat and high winds have made it hard to fully emergency crews to contain them. as plains birds into the nights and orange cloves shrouded the mount. this could bailey

region. 5 is spread to residential areas sweeping through several villages. much of algeria is northern provinces have been torched tons, trees and land left in ashes. the people woke up at 6 am surrounded by the lots of calamities intact, and that's mobile. so peace be upon their souls. people's houses have found some toys died and some drug costs 5 to reach and that'll be the flames have spread. as far as i'll do is buddha was to does yeah. some residents try to salvage what they could, but others were only able to watch from a distance as a livelihood were destroyed. not just the finest chocolate cream out the template side. it's brent through any my law and at that buddha about building everything and it's past some people lost everything. i guess. defies. have forced people to

evacuate many trying to flee by land and sea to reach safety for the fi season in both algeria and to z. a has been particularly bad this year, with blistering temperatures reaching 48 degrees celsius. much of it exacerbated by a heat wave that's broken brick holes in several mediterranean countries and investigation is underway to find out what caused the latest outbreak. meanwhile, efforts continue to put out the flames. but it's a race against time. as more hot weather is expected, in the coming days to earlier i spoke with journalists side should tour in the algerian capital ed years. he gave us this update on the fires right now the t is working very hard the night with the citizens and soldiers of the army of doing all me trying to do their best to in the field to get rid of the

fire. but it's not easy. the outlets and the cubby lie region can be the region is very free. dance the forest off, very desk with us, you know, trees and it's complicated to rain, to enter inside has to rain. and of course the, the people of these on the villages and, you know, couple of the, it's well known worldwide. it's the most coastal trades. it probably shouldn't in those, going to just as a lot of people living there. and of course, many people get trapped with that car. leave this try busy all his time and he will be trying to follow trying with his car and the kids and the wife trying to move forward and trying to escape to the fire. but you get dropped inside and they get there and all of them in the car, it's really, really difficult, petty stuff. and a small, easy to get with the fire because needing specific equipment, especially in the terrain, needs to be there in the page. and this is what they keep promising in the drain,

you know, bottom and they've been talking yesterday about it and trying to find a solution, a new strategy. the finding is this uh, white fire every summer time. do you know, is it clear what caused the fires or it's difficult to every design. there is a, something's new. sometimes it's assuming people for a brain dress and drooping a lot of glasses. and of course the problem with the glasses is everywhere. you can see it in the nature of the people, they drink a bottle of wine or b a and throw that in the, the, the, the forest. and of course, with the heat a, it's a, it's, they're immediately i can get burned quickly. and of course, these, the other different reasons with the human being is always there or climate change is different. the situation at that, right? that's enough for, you know, it's difficult to say it's only $11.00 reason,

right. and with the glass, we know we don't know exactly right. then presumably with a glass, the idea is that the son of the glass will act as prison and the saw with the sun is shining through it. make a spark of fire. but tell us serious. these wildfire as each summer, the side, is there a clear national strategy to avoid this happening in the future? oh, yes they trying to bass. they tried to uh, of course, bye move or canada there, but it's complicated, you know, get it, they kind of dare. it's not easy to get them here. there is a nap lane still on the service. it's not, you know, audrey, it's a huge country, is the biggest country in africa, in terms of size in the move and in the south. so, huge cabinetry, and you count along do that, do you need uh, you know, join the airport and joined you know, um, just drains the strategy and to move forward and trying to find solutions. it's not

easy. i mean, it's coming every year. the heat is at all times we've got the heat coming from this. the her only would of course, climate change is one of those came in this issue like neck i just here in call if you and greece right self in part of the false one. so you know, easily it's our neighbors and we have to have, we have all the same, same problem side. thank you very much. that was during this side should to our energy years, a level playing battling wildfires in greece has crushed killing both of his pilots. the accident happened on the the countries 2nd largest island days of scorching heat have also hit the other parts of grease fueling, dozens of wildfires, the holiday islands. the roads and corps food are being badly effected with thousands of tourists and residents forced to escape. the greek prime minister said his country is on the front line of climate change. now to the

women's world cup where japan fired 2 1st half goals passed costa rica to put them on the verge of qualifying for the knockout stages. midfielder, he cover no more to put japan ahead in the 25th minute with a fine finish. beating costs are because keep, are just 2 minutes later hope of food, you know, double japan's lead after dancing around the defense, japan have now scored the most goals. the tournament so far with 7 intent is the burg here appear to open for a seated alexander to better made light work of slovakia is like smoke on to reach the round of the final 16 on tuesday, the 26 year old from lambert dropped only 3 games in the 6 neal $63.00 victory at his hometown tournament, sped of his facing fresh allegations that he assaulted the former girlfriends. the german has categorically rejected the claims or you're watching do the news from
