berlin. rockets fired in the middle east after israel launched a series of airstrikes in gaza, killing several and wounding many more. also on the program -- china conducts another day of live fire military exercises in the waters around taiwan as beijing announces an end to cooperation with the united states.
3:01 pm
ukraine's president refutes amnesty international after the human rights organization accuses his troops of endangering civilians. and after two years' silence, metalheads are turning it up again. fans gather for the return of the back and heavy metal festival. i'm phil gayle. welcome to the program. dozens of rockets have been fired in israel from the gaza strip after israel launched a series of strikes into gaza earlier in the day. israel says it was targeting the islamic energy hot militant group, but it was -- and that it has eliminated what it called an imminent threat. palestinian authorities said at
3:02 pm
least 10 people were killed and dozens more injured. >> israeli forces target an apartment building in gaza city, one of many airstrikes launched into the coastal strip. israel says the attacks were in response to an imminent threat. the strikes come after israeli forces arrested a senior militant in the west bank early this week. >> israel carried out the precise counterterror organization against a threat. our fight is not with the people of gaza. islamic jihad is entering an proxy that wants to destroy the state of israel and kill innocent israelis. the head of islamic jihad is in tehran as we speak. we will do whatever it takes to defend our people. >> and islamic jihad commander was killed in the strikes, and the group vowed to retaliate.
3:03 pm
>> this is a declaration of all out war against the palestinian people. we will respond to that. this is a violation and disregard for all the efforts that have made over the past days in order to restore calm. we dealt positively with these efforts, but the enemy was, as usual, treacherous and carried out this rate. now we clearly say we will respond to this crime with all our might. >> as a five-year-old girl is mourned, fears of an escalation are rising. palestinian militants fired rockets into israel as night fell. phil: we have this update from jerusalem. >> air raid sirens have gone off in several communities and cities in the south and center of israel after palestinian groups retaliated with rocket
3:04 pm
barrages into the south and the center of the country. there have been interceptions by the israeli defense system. this comes as we heard also in the report after israel launched airstrikes into the gaza strip in the afternoon. so far, the health ministry in gaza puts the numbers at 10 people kled. among them, a young child and also a senior commander of the islamic jihad, a smaller militant faction in the gaza strip which is ruled by thomas -- by hamas. over 55 people injured, but we expect this number to rise as israel continues to carry out airstrikes, as it says, against palestinian jihad military targets. we heard also the israeli prime minister speaking to the israeli
3:05 pm
public and basically saying that this operation will take as long as it takes. israel has also called up 25,000 reservists from the army to have reinforced the troops around gaza put around the iron dome system and open up bomb shelters, mainly in the areas surrounding the gaza strip. phil: this sounds like a significant mobilization. what more has been said about this imminent threat that israel says it was defending itself against. why is it happening now? >> there has been a buildup in tensions and threats and warnings, but there were also mediation efforts by egypt. this comes after israel's military actually arrested a senior leader of the islamic
3:06 pm
jihad in the northern west bank, in occupied west bank. there have been a lot of rates in the area by the military. israel had said they are anticipating some kind of retaliation but islamic jihad -- by islamic jihad. there have been mediation efforts between the military faction in gaza and israel through egypt and other players, but it did not seem to have made a difference right now because then we saw this -- these rather unexpected airstrikes by israel on targets this afternoon on gaza. phil: you have described what sounds like a significant mobilization of israeli forces. does this risk escalating into another war? >> i think it is still too early to say if this will be what
3:07 pm
israel usually calls an operation or will it be an all out war. the main thing is it will be devastating for civilians that will be again caught, like multiple times. there have been four wars between hamas and israel. let's not forget this is a small territory that has just blockaded for almost 15 years now. for civilians, this would be very difficult. there is a lot of war -- worry that civilians in the south of israel would have to stay in their bomb shelters, so there's a lot of worry among people here what will happen in the next hours. phil: thank you for that. china is to suspend cooperation with the united states on issues including military relations, climate change, and health in
3:08 pm
criminal matters in response to the visit of u.s. house speaker nancy pelosi to taiwan. the visit enraged beijing, which regards the self-governing island as its territory. this announcement almost days of intensive chinese military drills. >> chinese missiles began striking these waters east of taiwan hours after u.s. speaker nancy pelosi left the island. chinese state television released video of warships patrolling the taiwan strait for decades and unofficial buffer zone between china and taiwan. as fighter jets crews discuss above -- as fighter jets crews the skies above. >> china has chosen to overreact and use speaker pelosi's visit
3:09 pm
to -- as a pretext to increase military activity in the china strait. >> antony blinken says he and his chinese counterpart have no in to meet. >> the fact is the speaker's visit was peaceful. there is no justification for this extreme, disproportionate, and escalatory military response. >> china seized taiwan as a breakaway pronce which will eventually com under beijing's control and is deeply opposed to any visits by foreign governments. >> what china is defending is its own sovereignty and territorial integrity. what china is doing is safeguarding the basic norms governing international relations. noninterference in internal affairs is a most basic principle for maintaining peace and stabilityor the whole world.
3:10 pm
>> faced with the unprecedented scale of china's reaction, taiwan has put its military on alert and is staging civil defense drills. across the taiwan strait on the chinese side, tourists come to this coastal town hoping to witness the military exercises. rex indeed, china is a powerful country, and it will not allow anyone to defend its own -- and you offend its own territory. >> we crossed the middle line of the taiwan strait with military exercises. our missiles flew over taiwan, which makes us feel our motherland is very strong and makes us certain taiwan's return cannot be stopped. >> china's army says it's so-called joint blockage operation around taiwan will continue through to monday. phil: let's bring in the
3:11 pm
director of the wilson center's kissinger institute on china and the united states. welcome back to dw. when you and i spoke at the start of the weekend suggested that nancy pelosi's visit was a general show of support for taiwan, given everything that has happened, would you say it was worth it? >> no, i don't think it was worth it. i think if she had not gone to taiwan, we would not now see these missiles flying over taiwan coming into taiwan's territorial seas and flying into japan's exclusive economic zone. this is a disproportionate, escalatory response on china's respon, but it is a protectable escalatory response that could have been avoided, at least for a period of time. phil: beijing is now ceasing cooperation with the u.s. in a number of important areas including military talks and climate change. how badly damaged are relations?
3:12 pm
>> i think they are quite severely damaged. of course, they were in bad shape anyway. our military talks, our climate change talks, these were occasional. they were not being sustained ve enthusiastically by the chinese side. sustaining talks in a week to week or month to month since does not mean much, but if both sides persist in what they say are their nonnegotiable interest, the logical conclusion of that is the end of formal diplomatic relations between the united states and china which would be a major historic move i think in neither country's interest, but that seems to be where things are going at the moment. phil: it is interesting you say that. i'm sitting here thinking there does not seem to be any way down from this for china now that it has made these bellicose threats
3:13 pm
and followed them through. there seems no way to sort of gold -- go back to the old normal, which as you just outlined was really quite frosty anyway. >> right. the problem here is that the question of taiwan and its status was always a foundational question in u.s.-china relations. in 1972 when nixon went to china, this was the question that the shanghai communique attempted to solve. you can describe it in whatever way you wt, but a series of agreements were reached that kept the peace in the region for about 50 years and allowed taiwan and china to develop. taiwan is still the key question. in that shanghai communique, the united states acknowledged that people in taiwan and mainland china both thought there was only one china and that taiwan was part of it. that was key to china. the united states is i don't
3:14 pm
think any longer willing to acknowledge that. the people of taiwan for themselves -- the people of taiwan for the most part see themselves as taiwanese, not chinese. phil: and about the timing of the confrontation, we have midterm elections coming up in the u.s. and the chinese communist party, both in november, and neither side wants to look weak. >> right, but there is no good time for this to happen. it is more than usually difficult right now, but i do not think it is an extraordinary time. i think that has been overplayed. yes, xi does not wanto look weak as he looks to be anointed for a third term, but he would not want to look weak anyway. president biden has been concerned, almost from day one
3:15 pm
of his administration, of republicans painting him as soft on china, so these are really ongoing conditions. phil: good talking to you. thanks for joining us. >> thank you. phil: two ukraine where president zelenskyy has criticized human rights organization amnesty international after it claimed that ukraine had endangered civilians but placing troops in residential areas. president zelenskyy equated the accusation to victim blaming. meanwhile, there are reports of fighting in russia's south and ukrainian civilians have fled because of constant russian shelling. >> a train station in donetsk, evacuating the old and the young , all exhausted, westwards. ordinary ukrainians caught up i
3:16 pm
fierce fighting and forced to leave their homes with whatever they can carry. >> we are from a village between the luhansk and donetsk regions. our village has been ruined. there's no gas, no water, no electricity. we were sitting in the basement for a month. the army brought us here. >> the government has ordered civilians to leave combat zones in donetsk. but the danger may not be just from russian attacks. amnesty international accuses ukraine of basin troops in populated areas, putting civilians at risk and violating the laws of war. kyiv was furious. >> if someone prepares a report in which the victim and aggressor are allegedly the same in some way, if information
3:17 pm
about the victim is analyzed, while something the aggressor does is ignored, this cannot be tolerated. >> i understand this particular piece of work because it is critical of the behavior of ukrainian forces, is not appreciated by the ukrainian authorities, but the fact is that international law applies to everyone. >> ukrainian soldiers face a grinding battle to keep the remaining regions of eastern donbass out of russian control and to avoid shelling. >> we sit in the trenches. the enemy shells us and we cannot even stick our heads out. now there are no small fights as there used to be. today, there is an artillery battle. you just jump into the trench and wait for the strike. >> away from the front lines, the evacuation of civilians from
3:18 pm
donetsk continues. the question is if that will be enough to keep them safe. phil: vladimir putin says he wants to boost trade and economic ties with turkey. the russian president was speaking at a meeting with the turkish president in the black sea resort of sochi. president brca 1 said he hoped the talks would open a different page in relations with moscow. mr. putin allowed the turkish people to progress deal allowing grain exports through the black sea. the meeting comes us three more ships carrying grain have left ukraine. let's have a look at this. we have a senior research fellow at the international food policy and research institute. welcome back. more grain ships leaving ukraine's ports. you must be very pleased. >> i would say that is a good start, especially after a rocky
3:19 pm
beginning two weeks ago. it is good news. now we just have four ships full of less than 100,000 tons of grains, mainly maize, citizens not a lot. phil: what do we need to get that up to? in normal times, how many ships would be leaving carrying grain? >> it would be more like six a day at least. to give you an idea, at a normal time, ukraine exports 6 million tons of grain per month. now after two weeks, we have not even done half of what is normally done in one day. phil: you said initially this is a good start. what are your main concerns about the operation of this deal?
3:20 pm
>> we cannot have access to all the details of the deal. it has not been published in the public domain, so i think a lot of the deal that needs to be looked at. they have already won that the ships in the ukraine today can leave. ukrainians want to get out of the country more than 20 million tons before the next harvest. basically, we need commercial activities to start to take off, so we need to able to have trust in the system and feel safe to conduct operation. phil: as the system gears up,
3:21 pm
how long will it actually take for that grain once it reaches its destination? how long once it has reached its destination before that grain actually gets onto the market? >> following the tradition of ukraine that includes countries in the middle east, it is 10 days between the ship leaving and arriving. things can move quickly pretty fast, but on the ground, we still need to see how this will be demonstrated and again, are going to see ships going to ukraine to be loaded? we are seeing ships leaving
3:22 pm
ukraine, but starting to see ships going to ukraine will be a different risk. phil: good talking to you. thanks for joining us. >> thank you for having me. phil: here's a look at more stories making headlines around the world. the united states is calling on the kremlin to accept what it describes as a substantial offer to swap for basketball player brittney griner. earlier, a russian court sentenced her to nine years for drug possession and smuggling. the white house has not disclosed the details of its offer. a fire at a nightclub in thailand has killed four people and left dozens injured. it broke out in the early morning at a music bar about 160 kilometers southeast of bangkok. video surfacing from social media shows thick smoke through which people are trying to escape. overnight rain has given hope to

3:24 pm
the rise of nigeria's sachet economy has followed growing inflation. many people can only afford what is needed for one meal. >> but i don't have money to buy big. that's why i buy small. >> millions of nigerians live on less than two u.s. dollars a day. global events like the pandemic in the war in ukraine have pushed up prices, forcing millions more into poverty. environmentalists say this is having a direct ecological impact. the small packages are quickly discarded, adding to nigeria's plastic pollution crisis. >> the impact means we have more single-use plastics being put into the environment at a very alarming rate. it has consequences for the ocean, for people, and climate. >> plastic waste can also block

3:26 pm

3:27 pm
>> you could say these metalheads have finally returned to their happy place. phil: it is time to remind you of our top story this hour. israel says it's defense systems have shut down a number of rockets fired from the gaza strip into israeli airspace. the rocket air comes after israel launched a wave of airstrikes in gaza, saying it was targeting the islamic jihad military group. this is "dw news" life from berlin. more headlines at the top of the hour. i will be back in a moment with "the day," taking a closer look at nancy pelosi's visit to taiwan asking whatid she achieve. join me then. ♪
