as much in that press conference that they will have to be some level of the legal oversight. but the idea is to keep it to an absolute minimum resort. i was asked about the european court of justice, specifically that was his answer. and he was asked, what would happen if the do you reject the steel? and he said, look, we, we've got to get the parties time enough to scrutinize it. that got to be able to see that we've done absolutely everything we can to on. so all of their concerns in his mind and in the mind diversity from the line. those concerns should now be answered. it will be the d u p to decide and for members of refuse to next own party, hard breaks it supporting m p. 's, who said they largely will go the way of the d u p. so the hope is that if that boat comes to pass, and if the do you look favorably upon upon this that it will be passed without incident? well, let's look a little bit more at an all than island general health the moment in west point. so thanks very much, we can go over now to more re challenge. he joins us from belfast. so jonah was

saying the key question now of course is what the d u p. what? no, not a unit. again to say about this deal this when the frame, what this new we jigged protocol, key concern for the politicians is remaining within the u. s. she soon acts as it does protect northern islands place within the u. k. so a big problem with the u. k. will they agree? well, i think they'll be encouraged by what they've just heard received on the land. but they're not going to be seduced by the honey words of the u. k. prime minister. that because let's not forget, they fallen for that one before having a they were seduced by forest. johnson's promises a few years ago when the northern private nor the non protocol was actually conjured up. and boris johnson promised the d u p. that they would be no border checks between the u. k. and northern ireland. of course they were. so i think that

the p o, in kind of american pilots, lawyer ring up at the moment they are getting their legal representatives ready to go through that deal line by line because they don't want to make the stay mistake again the have made before. so they will be looking at this deal in detail. we can hear now from the leader a, d, b jeffrey donaldson. he was spoken to just a few moments ago and here's what he had to say about it. i haven't seen it yet. so once we've seen the legal tax will come to you or do you feel positive? well, no, the positive or negative. i think that we need to take time to look at the data. what's available? how does not match our 7 tests? so the politicians remaining very non committal at the moment is understandable. i

haven't actually seen the deal in detail yet. what about the people of northern ireland? because where she's tonight said this would make an immediate positive difference to the lives of people. what do they want or the main problem with a northern protocol and how it affects the northern ireland, the people. it is political. it's because this building here behind me, which is the storms assembly storm a parliament essentially is currently paralyzed. the d u p. pulled out of it months ago in protest over the protocol. and they will not come back here. they will not restart that power sharing executive with champagne until they are content with what's the protocol, the new deal surrounding it gives them and gives what they want for northern ireland. but if you are the people here, what they've on,

and what's important for them to know the price isn't very high on the list by lodge people here, i think are in favor of the protocol by slim majority, not my huge majority like 50 to 53 percent say that they think that the way the northern protocol is working is actually working pretty well. i expect the business is here. you say that particularly manufactured businesses. the protocol allows them to trade very easily with european union with all into the south and also with the u. k. so they get the best advice. well, yes, you speak the fruiterer's and people who are bringing things in from the u. k. and they say that there are problems with it, but by and large, they've managed to work around them. people don't prioritize the protocol here. what they prioritize is education, health, things like that, things that make a real tangible difference that lives in the here. and now that sort of thing needs a functioning parliaments to be able to work properly and that's well they don't

have a moment. ok, many things endav replaces to do that from belfast. it's just gone that 1600 hours g m t and we've been this thing to the u. k. and e. u leaders finalizing a new deal for more than islands, post breakfast trading arrangements, as it no longer be called the moving on protocol. it's now called the wooden framework that's bring in our guest, david mitchell. he's an assistant professor at trinity college dublin at belfast and joins us from belfast. now 1st we will take a little bit of a step back if we can, which is soon as i said, this is all about stability in northern ireland for a special international view. as can you give us an idea of why this is so important? i'm so sensitive. yeah, i suppose all this goes back to braxton, ultimately in 2016 and the competing interests are on that were that you take over me and wanted to get as cleanly are out of the,

of the you as possible. but because of the history of ireland and the irish border, and there was a great desire on the part of the e. u and the irish government and northern irish nationalists as well to avoid ard border order text security. host customs post on the island of ireland because that would have been so sensitive bars. johnston tried to square the circle by putting the order instead in the irish be and create these trade checks. what's known as the northern protocol. really block couple of years. union have been the ones who have been incense about this because they feel that it is not only economically detrimental, northern on it, although it's your car. the other thing the economics are contested, but you need to also be let it down into their identity. as british and so heard this new deal, we heard refuse to knock and or slip on delay and talking very warmly agreed to

deal with the calling the the windsor framework, which is 30, they're hoping will replace the protocol a turn which is become somewhat toxic over here and now all our eyes are on the do you need to see how they're going to react? absolutely. yeah, i would do wanna ask you about the be in a 2nd. i want to pick up on one thing you said alex found a little bit more on it. is it the hard border would be so sensitive walter, the fears surrounding a hard border returned to a hot border on the island of ireland. and yeah, i mean, i think the great success of the peace process and that is sort of during the night the night the, it's good friday agreement on words was to take the border of every day politics. so during the trouble, the conflict here when irish millison the r i r a and british rule in northern ireland and the board, it was hard, it was militarized, it interrupted people daily lives in the travel difficult because of the peace

process. and also because of the, the shared membership of the european union which began and then i can make these as well. but all of the border disappeared. and now you can drive from here to dublin and you will see any visible border. so that really created this new fear, particularly among irish nationalists, but many others as well that the border would return and that their, their daily life would be interrupted and it would be a great them bolick and statement. but i, ireland was, was divided again whenever that is really all about people coming together. and so that was avoided with, with diplomatic support from the irish government. and they really listened to those fears about a hard irish border. but and we ended up with the irish, the border. so the breck, that really could never happen thing lee. it was always going to create

difficulties somewhere. and i were at an advanced dates were really, really fine. detail changes to try and make this iris the border as invisible as possible. try and even get rid of the term iris, the border northern iron protocol. and that really knock i felt was talking directly to the d u p. then press conference, trying to reassure them that all of their worries. can i go away? i think ordinary people in northern i really just want to get their government back . of course, because lives are on the do you pay to see a fed accepts the dale and in doing so, returns to government. i mean, it hasn't taken up the power sharing government positions and elections in may last year. we had the question being asked in the press conference that if the d u. p doesn't return to government, will this new framework be seen as a failure? yeah, i mean, i suppose this is always about the u. k. government and so they can,

they can go ahead with that, but you can hear from what richie was saying is that the spirit of this is really to reassure people and in northern ireland. and it is true that the d. u. he wheeled the leverage quite strongly where they were able to, brenda, the governments in northern ireland because we have the power sharing system where we need both sides. they were able to bring that down to depressurize the u. k. and that, you know, jeffrey donaldson has a big reason to make because he has got the right wing t u. v party traditional unit as boyce, he probably won't accept that at all. and donaldson also has grassroots loyalists, including some of our military who have been putting a lot of pressure on and making threats of different that in recent days. so

donaldson, really, although he put himself on this hook, i suppose the d. p put themselves in the situation by, by, by bringing down the government. and i know they, they have to see if this this satisfies them and their people. ok. david mitchell, thanks very much for joining us from belfast and dividing some context to the story of u. k. e leaders. we've seen a new brick set deal on northern ireland avoiding land a board of checks on trade across the region. aah! in magnitude 5.6, quake has shaken the city of malachi and east and took him one personal been reported that a more building have been destroyed. the new tremor comes 3 weeks after 2 major earthquakes killed, at least 50000 people across southern care. and northern syria correspondent

theresa bow is in my last year and has this report. we're here in the province often, my lad to yeah, this is just 10 kilometers away from where the latest earthquake, the 5.6 earthquake happens earlier this monday we're here where search and rescue operations continue to be ongoing disaster or so it is just told that they believe that 3 people remained underneath the rubble here, but that they're not hearing any voices now, but they continue to check, trying to continue and saving to save people's lives. we've been told that at least 29 buildings have collapsed or been damaged. in this part of the country in this city that at least 32 people have been rescued from under the rubble. this country is still struggling to recover from the earthquakes that happened 3 weeks ago. from for re 6, the city had suffered lots of damage. when you're coming in here,

you can see still people that are living in tents, trying in a way to handle what are what happened with their lives. the turkish government has given away tense, and food and water has given away cash handouts to help people cope with what they have gone through. but most of the people we have spoken to worst day when they'll be able to have their lives. the back of the turkish government is also hoping to start the rebuilding process as soon as possible, hoping to build around 200000 homes for people who have lost theirs, villages among others. but certainly the earthquakes that have been going on here. the aftershocks continued to the rebuilding efforts and the devastated turkish province of hat high industries are certainly looking to we start. but there are fairs. the scale of this disaster could set back is economic development by years. but mcbride reports from the city of antarctica just outside an takia,

a city devastated by the earthquakes. this industrial zone bears little evidence of the disaster. business owner looked for packer shows as the cranks in his offices building in a no north quake zone. he says special measures were taken to ensure it would escape any disaster relatively unscathed. but that's now little comfort, given what's happened to his home province. citizens were la city, below our people. the destruction from this was so huge about the government cannot deal with it on its own will no government cannot come with it. we all need to work together, trailing behind the rest of turkey, a economically, this region was already receiving special assistance. and there's a growing awareness of the help it needs now is would a little bit over, we will rebuild these cities from scratch. we will not just repair and restore

things, we will rebuild and new on takia from scratch, done. hot, i stumbled on it. of course, to skim also affect the industries in his tumble and anchorage. that's why we need to take action as soon as possible in industrial zones. like this one, you're probably the museum at this glass manufacturer. the buildings are intact, but the stock pile of completed glass bears testimony to the quakes violence, 80 percent of the sheet glass doors here that $700.00 tons i the smashed or damaged . getting industrial zones like this one working again is seen as vital with some estimates saying this one region is now responsible for nearly 10 percent of the country's economic output. normally employing 120 workers in his machine making factory lot for knows recovery will be slow starting 1st with providing the homes and services needed by our workforce. and it's also not on bottom of the biggest

problem is accommodation of to workers. health is a problem, there is no hospital education, there is no school. but 1st of all, accommodation for workers and day families who eat a head, a huge reconstruction effort to overcome the enormity of the devastation. rob mcbride, al jazeera and takia. ah, a kremlin has said there are no conditions for peace in ukraine at the moment. presidential spokesman dmitri pasco, the harvard, said that moscow is studying china's piece proposal attentively trying to renounce the plan to coincide with the one year anniversary of the invasion. earlier this week, and the proposal meeting is calling for an end to western sanctions on russia and urging moscow and keith to hold peace talks. it was the establishment of humanitarian corridors with civilians and steps to ensure grain can be safely

exported from ukraine. it also warns against the use of nuclear weapons and attacks on nuclear power plants. well, earlier we spoke to constantine cars such as the deputy speaker of russia senate. he said russia has always been opened dialogue with keith and defended moscow's mercury campaign as self defense. repeatedly demonstrated our readiness to review with the stalks while the president of ukraine. mister vilicki, if you, if special decree, prohibiting him fell the president of ukraine and other authorities to see you. great to have any dos these russians. so the ball is definitely not on our side. russian troops, s one now are defending the russian regions done. if the guns hear a song ends up are all here. each had poor people record in teams and beach decided to join the russia. they are now integrated parts of russia,

and this is where the russian troops are here for now. and any of these talks to be, ukraine may take place only in case they take into account. they are based on the real situation right now on the ground. and not on any pre determined preconditions, as it is done by the great site we want, the ukrainian or armed forces to stop bonding. the villages of the region of speech i now named because the grand armed forces, since 2014 seems they could be taught in the great continue to try to restore the territorial integrity of ukraine by using military force. and now we may or may hear declarations from key. the key if, if you're planning military operations in order to, as they call it,

de occupied crania, and the stopper, which is absolutely unacceptable, which is a direct military threat doors rush us national security and which cannot be accepted. we cannot before that by russia. so our military strife is clear, self defense, cilla had hair on out there and tackling the matter. there's just how will companies take advantage of the technology of the future. ah hello, we should see a nice little taste of spring for japan. over the next couple of days we, st. temperatures started to pick up largely clear skies across china, high pressure in chart here,

slipping across the korean peninsula. and there you go into work japan, not too bad, or fine, and sunny weather, a high just nutting a little further eastward. so we're looking at temperatures in tokyo are at 18 degrees with some pleasant spring sunshine, pleasant spring sunshine to in beijing, temperatures around 8 or 9 celsius, above the seasonal average here, still warm enough as we go on into where does they by wednesday we could see a little bit of wet weather, just clipping the far south of south gray. pushing into que shoe east over towards that western side of han ship it on the other side of the mountains. cocoa stays warm, 90 degrees celsius in the sunshine. now we got some re wet weather as we make our way into. we're tuesday, across a quantum pour down towards them. a lay peninsula big scratch of stores driven in on the north thessaly monsoon. and if anything, they become even more widespread still as we go through wednesday, we are like to see some localized flooding, singapore taking a little bit of hit over the next couple of days. a few showers creep in the winter's flank. meanwhile, into weather far south of india and

a western disturbance turning unsettled for pakistan. ah, women, ron micro businesses are key to center goals development and to improved food security . access to finance helps them succeed. since 2014, nearly a 180 micro enterprises, collectives and small businesses across senegal, received concession re financing. these loans were made possible by an initiative administered by the q 8 good will fund the q 8 fund partners in development. oh, a.

again, what you knowledge is there a has reminder of our top stories this our u. k. and you leaders have fun lives, a new deal for northern ireland post break said trading arrangements. european commission president on the line have been meeting you k prime minister. wish your neck to discuss the details of the northern ireland protocol speeds over the deal have prevented the government from reforming in northern ireland. the kremlin has commented on china's narrative, the peace talks in ukraine. moscow says there are no conditions for peace at the moment. of war and ukraine has entered the 2nd year and the magnitude $5.00. quakers shaken the city of malachi in eastern tech. here, one person has been reported dead, and carmano, marsh, and more buildings have been destroyed. top tech is on display in barcelona this week. as the spanish city host, the mobile world congress,

it's where the world's biggest wireless companies show off the latest designs. this year they have football foldable smartphones and a. i powered chat balls that nearly, i don't mind their own charlie angela as more from barcelona. this event is all about the future and over the next 4 days, some $75000.00 people from over $200.00 countries are going to pass through these holes looking at the products and technologies that will save that future. including this vertical takeoff helicopter, using renewable energy, they hope to be in production by 2024. now nbc has usually been a place where a company showcase the latest in mobile phone development. but that's taken a bit of a back seat is design in that area has placid. instead what's exciting is the technology we caught hold artificial intelligence and the massive us. and they're trying to show some areas where a i will be impactful, including in autonomous cause. so

a lot of these companies are showcasing how the mess of us will transform the worlds of work, play, socializing, gaming, even travel. and that's interesting for the consumer, for the industry, it's the industrial net of us that's causing a lot of us. what that is is creating a digital twin factories, cities, transportation hub online grid. the idea being that any issues that arise can be fixed in the digital realm, increasing productivity and production. that's the transformation will affect everyone will be behind the scenes. so what is the matter of us? well, if we think of the internet as something we'd look at the matter, verse is a version of the internet. well inside the idea is that we'll experience the matter verse as an avatar, a virtual version of ourselves that we control. as we explore

a network of 3 d, virtual worlds on the rest of us will be accessible through virtual reality headsets, mobile phones, game councils, and other hardware. and it's use could be limitless from online what places to concerts, shopping and socializing with friends. let's bring in elaine, but she's the host of the podcast, the tech sake, and joins us live from dublin. i mean the much of us, it's in the limitless and pretty exciting. what's your idea of what it is? i suppose if you do, can take it as that and virtual reality vision of the internet. it, it is as limited as the internet, essentially for where you do find limitations is this is a whole new version of the internet and to access that you will need all new equipment. and i think realistically, that's why companies are want to invest in that because that's a new way of generating revenue. people already have pewters that got pretty good computers on the refurb market now as well. so they need to create new ways to make a spend money to interact on line,

i think. so that brings us to the next question is, who is already investing in this new technology? who's born into this new world and got to convince off to do the same whole matter is obviously wholly bought into the metaphors, having entirely rebranded the company, formerly known as facebook. in this vision of the med adverse and their center being besting a 100000000000 into the development of the technology, which is not to be safe in terms of the scale of that investment. i. so they're probably the most prominent investor, the technology, but other companies are definitely exploring the matter 1st. apple is said to be preparing possibly its own for your head, sir, as a competitor to matters device and possibly coming at 2025 depending on what reports that you're looking. ask and said consultants eco, these site to loyce. accenture are definitely exploring at things that they could do that matters because they need to guide their clients on what they might need to know about this oncoming new version of the ej net. do they need to get involved?

do they need to settle their company in the better versus so they'd be exploring a quite heavily. do you think this is the technology of the future? i mean, a couple of decades ago. no one would have believed that we, as humans spend as much time as we do on our mobile phones in another couple of years, we're going to be saying the same about how much time we spend in these met versus i think a lot of the rationale actually comes from their thinking of younger audiences. and you'll notice that now are very, very a gaming centric. more so than a generation, i imagine, and men ever really coax very, very well with that gamers and visit kind of obvious connect with people who already use the or headsets or video games. i'm but they're starting to think that may be order things be access to this way and it might be a way to attract new audiences who are more used interacting with immersive technology and immersive media. and you see, even that month, month city, primarily team have built the se in the metaphors. and they said that there's not

that they think that people will only go to see maybe a football game in the better verse. but maybe that's an avenue they can reach people and convince them to actually go to the real se pad in the long term. it's pretty fascinating and slightly terrifying elaine, but thank you very much for joining us from dublin. thanks. now, tensions between the philippines and china have resurfaced in the past few weeks with china announcing it will push for a code of conduct and the disputed waters of the south china sea that'd be in coast guard, says at stepping up patrols in the area where chinese vessels continue to linger as bon below reports, joint patrols with the you as an australian. also in the works. the philippine navy sierra madre. anchored on 2nd tom, a shoal in the south china sea to mark the philippines claim in a disputed region. but it's been surrounded by chinese ships. a recent flight by the philippine coast guards bought it at least 26 suspect the chinese maritime

vessels. the chinese coast guard sailing as close as one nautical mile to the philippine vessel. and as the philippine aircraft hovered closer, they were told to lead by the chinese, i agree, you're entering the territory of china. the voice on the radio said leave immediately to prevent any misunderstanding. this follows that incident earlier this month, where the philippine coast guard says military grade laser was aimed at its crew by the chinese and caused temporary blindness. china denies the accusation and says the green light was from a handheld pointer, but last weekend, the philippine coast guard revealed there was another lease or pointing incident last year. there have been years and years and years of gray zone activity that does not get seen by the public. that's why it's the grey zone. lighting up. the grey zone takes away the deniability takes away that opacity where

a grey zone operators thrive. the philippine government says it's stepping of c patrols to counter what it considers chinese incursions in aggressions and is exploring the possibility of doing it with allies, including the united states and australia, who's deputy prime minister was in manila last week. we did talk today about the possibility of exploring an joint patrols and we'll continue that work. hm. and we have that that comes to fruition. so despite its recent actions in contested waterways, china continues to advocate for a code of conduct in indonesia last week. it's foreign minister tim. com said he intends to fast track negotiations with southeast asian countries, including the philippines. the at there were thought tension would ease after manila, and beijing agreed to establish a new diplomatic hotline in january. instead, what we've seen in the past few weeks has been the opposite.
