this technology is worried how they can go with how they can also go terribly. what you know ah ah, this is dw news live from berlin. joe biden comes under investigation for the 1st time as president. special council is appointed to look into biden's handling of classified documents. after lawyers find more files, that is home. also coming up. in the far north, swedish miners hit a rare earth metal jackpot. will look at how it could help europe produce its

dependence on china. and mexico city to post thousands of national guard troops controlled subway system after a series of fatal accidents that could be due to sabotage. ah, i'm almeni's of welcome to the program. the u. s. justice department has appointed a special council to investigate after more classified documents were found at president joe biden's, delaware home. the discoveries are politically embarrassing for biden, after his sharp criticism, a former president trumps a legit this handling of classified documents. this is where the latest classified documents per found in the garage of you as president of biden's home in wilmington by law might and should have handed them over to the u. s. national

archives. after he left the vice presidency in 2017 might in thieves. it was an innocent mistake. morrow. people know i take classified documents of classroom material seriously. i also said we're cooperating fully incomplete with the justice department's review. that republicans accused the u. s. president of hypocrisy bite and sharply criticized former president donald trump for allegedly holding on to classify documents after sensitive files are discovered at trump's home in florida last year. here's an individual that's been in office for more than 40 years. here's an individual that sat on 60 minutes, that was so concerned about president trump documents locked in behind and now we find it just as a vice president, keeping it for years out the open in different locations. biden steam faith, this gift, different, the u. s. president wollen dear to hand over the documents to the national archives

. the moment they were discovered. on the other hand, drum delayed responding to requests from the national archives. for months. the justice department ceased to await any conflict of interest, especially counsel will investigate the case. the case against former president donald trump is also been handled by a special council. earlier i spoke to washington based political analyst liz sugar asked her what more is known about the documents that were found there. so right now they're saying there is a very small number of documents with classified noting on them. interestingly, somebody is, were found as earlier stated in a think tank in d. c. and some of them are found in his delaware home in his garage near his beds. none were found at the beach house, which is considered not as official as that's kind of what we have right now. aside from what bite has already said that he's cooperate. it's his team who has found

these and turn them over, and they're hoping that helps a public image. right, and this is become a political issue, especially because biden called trump irresponsible when it came on investigation for keeping similar similar documents as part of residence. so what is the difference here? there are a lot of really notable differ and says among them. again, this is the word coming from biden's can't, but it's a very small number of documents. trump out at over 300 humans at his residence in florida as well. by was the one that found it. his team found them alerted. the archive is the proper protocol who alerted the f. b. i income reverse trump. the archives discovered it themselves. and years later and went to trump, who did not cooperate. and in fact, you remember there was very dramatic scene of them trying to get their hands back on these documents. and again, this is where the difference comes from. bytes can't be presenting, hey,

we're not only cooperating, we're being proactive, and that's what sets us apart. because so it's a small number of documents, but that would still technically classify as a violation if it were true. and it just seems a little bit surprising. the biden did not discover this documents before the investigation into trump. how can we explain the you know, i think finance camp is going to come with. it was an honest mistake. they get as so many documents. i can't imagine what 8 years of government classified documents must have looked at the sheer volume as well. he's saying these are mixed in political and personal documents. so aids that help to wrap up the vice president's office could have them in with other political documents. they were supposed to take to the think tank, not paying close attention to the classified notation. so there's a lot of way for,

it's just human error, and that's, i'm sure the angle they're going to try to say. and i'm wondering how common this is, is said that it could just happen under error. a lot of clerks have access to their transporting these documents. so would you say this problem is larger than biden, and trump that a lot of politicians are actually taking these classified documents. that is a very good question. if we go back, it wasn't documents, but the question of hillary clinton working in our home and using a server there. and i think especially as we do for me, look forward to to government employees doing more hybrid work from home situation . is this going to be something i think this definitely speaks to what a need for revenge security and trading about what is the classified document, what can leave the building? what can't. but i also think it talks about paperwork. we're talking about legislators. their job is to re page it bills and reports with thousands of pages. and so we just need a massive amount of error, a space for error. and so briefly,

do you think this will have political follow up for biden, or do you think the biden taste in the trump case will kind of cancel each other out? there are a lot of factors that are different, as we discussed. and one of the biggest things going in bye favor is that this is almost 2 years out from the election and an entire year out before the primaries start. the downside is the american voter doesn't always like nuance. he just gave the republicans their greatest talking point, as well as really need to have the democrats often against trump. so it's a, it's a long enough runway. it might become a lesser issue in the next year. but it definitely will be something i think we'll be hearing again from the republicans as they gear up to take them on in 24. ok. political analyst. this will go in washington. thank you. ukraine says fierce fighting in the eastern town of sold are still ongoing. that's falling

it is, but what we know today is by far the law does the pulse it off. all rees in your europe depends on importance of these vital minerals most come from china, which has deposits many times bigger. but it's still a breakthrough of european union. the geopolitical aspect as sag. you can't emphasize that enough. so i would say this is also an important chance possibly to become even less dependent of one single country. sweden's discovery will not entirely offset europe's dependence on china, and it will take years to extract the valuable minerals from under these frozen wastes. mexico city has deployed thousands of national guard officers to patrol at subway. system officials have suggested that a series of reason accidents could have been caused by sabotaged dozens of passengers have been killed and injured out in force on mexico,
