ah, why are they so invisible to the larger public? ah, we decided to ask them. what is the poetry the secret of the house about their struggles and dreams. if i rode walkability is huge, they have so much to lose. shattering the glass ceiling women in architecture. this has to be really, really good. starts april 20th on d. w. britons king charles arrived in berlin today for his 1st foreign visit since ascending to the throne. berlin was 1st because his visit to france was canceled out of the current unrest. it's part of a british charm offensive, aimed at repairing the damage caused by brakes. it be made possible after london and brussels reset relations this month and struck a new deal over the state of northern ireland. though there is still some work to

do. but here in berlin, the renewal of old friendships got off to a good start. i'm fill gail in berlin and this is the day ah, with my wife and i could come to germany for this. then a 1st overseas tour of my room. nothing shows our strong relationship more clearly, your majesty than visiting germany on your 1st trip abroad. his king with germany and the united kingdom matters greatly to me to suppress this highly symbolic visit is a great personal gesture. and i am

more convinced than ever of its enduring value to us all also coming up, look at ukrainian crews operating old soviet tanks and why they want new ones from the west. suffixes from a loud and share this is the new ones are more maneuverable. they have other equipment of the thermal sites. range finders is in the mirror of say in check. their crew is more protected. ah. to restore the day here in berlin, where britain's king charles is on a 3 day visit his 1st since he succeeded the late queen elizabeth to the throne. as a visit with a very political background, the british government is trying to rebuild relations with its allies in the european union after a messy breakup that was breaks. it is also a reaffirmation of old alliances as britain that its european allies support

ukraine against russia's full scale invasion visit will include meetings with german political leaders. this 1st day was all about protocol a special welcome for special visitors. britton's king, charter 3rd, and his wife camilla. german president flanked by dutch dine. my are welcome to royal couple with military honors at berlin's bramble gate. ah, it's the 1st time the landmark has provided a backdrop for receiving a state guest. on his 1st official state visit abroad and britain's monarch at king charles's hoping to improve the you case strained relations with a european union post breaks it and show he can win hearts and minds brought just as his mother did for 7 decades at his residence. last bay view,

the german president praised the good relations between the 2 countries and houghton. often to day 6 years to the day after britain began the process of leaving the european union. we're opening a new chapter and our relationship together as friends and partners. we are now looking forward to the it's not for the german president also praise childs as long interest and environmental causes a topic that will determine the agenda for the 3 day visit law. chorus woman, emily gord, dean, has been covering the king's visit here. she is speaking on a low i think it's safe to say that british soft power has arrived in germany. it is not uncommon for the u. k. to use the royals as a way of a form of diplomacy. really, if you look at 1964, the queen made her 1st state visit to germany and it marked the beginning of

reconciliation between the 2 countries. i think you can observe, as you can see a similar theme. and this is it really after years of fighting really a break. so it's an ongoing breaks that negotiations. you know, that ultimately finally culminated in the, in the wins or framework that, you know, we've not seen end to this fighting, thankfully. and now as one part of time, i said a new chapter can begin, and i think that's exactly what this visit that presents an end to brackston negotiations to break the disputes on the start of something new. and i think the visit of can, charles is also signed from the u. k. that's it really values. it's partnership with germany and it's friendship really and that's reflected not just in, you know, the in the, in the kings visits, you know, but also i think, equally on the other side, if you look to germany the way he's been or saved a welcoming fine go dean speaking a little was can charles arrived in berlin,

the european parliament was holding a special session to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the good friday agreement . was the 998 dealer to enable the peace process in northern ireland to start after 30 years of conflicts costing more than 3000 lives. we approached the anniversary has been marked by an increase intentions. however, british authorities have raised the terrorist threat level and northern ireland to severe meaning security forces expect an attack imminently european commission, president ursula on the line. praise the progress made in the province since the good friday agreement was signed. recognize that not all wounds and hill such a day. we dont just gather for commemoration. but for a new commitment to keep working for reconciliation and northern ireland in spite of all setbacks for the next 25 years and way beyond the u. k.

may have left ours union, but peace remains the european promise. oh, let's look backwards on perhaps of fords or to were progress in northern ireland with doctor connell. par, who's assistant professor in history at northumbria university. he joins us from northern and said capital belfast at. welcome to the w and lr, and we'll start with the early lafond l. i am aware. why do you think the e u is concerning itself with an anniversary of a deal struck in a part of a country that is no longer in the block as only just settled, lingering issues related to the province and its departure from the e. u. well, thank you for the night at way to start. i think the one thing to explain is that your, you know, the united kingdom has last the european union. there is a strong sense in which it still has a kind of responsibility or feels

a sense of responsibility to what occurred in northern ireland in the past, in terms of a serious and intense conflict for 3 decades and more and of which there is an ongoing legacy and also remembering and recalling importantly that the republic of items and ireland is a, is a very proud member of the union and has a lot of its stake and interests with northern ireland bound up in the future. well being of northern ireland. so there's a strong sense in which, at the opinion, but between that sort of sense of responsibility to add to the ballot and proud member. and also having an awareness of the past. and that way, the rumbling problems you know, the night and in the future. and it's interesting how those problems in northern ireland as various elements that i tried to secure independence from from great britain. it's interesting how it became international joe biden has also indicated

that he's accepted an invitation from the u. k. prime minister to visit north an island to commemorate the same anniversary and president by and has a particular interest in northern defense disney. he does indeed notice that, i mean there are a number of us presidents over the, over the years, almost 50 us president, a favorite reckoned around a half, have some kind of a connection with either in the past and the dna. and especially by the way. but the north east region, what, what the americans call that the scots irish. so at biden is however, perhaps the president who is most associating himself with a commitment to ireland and with an irish identity that was always a part of his appeal. and his is base in delaware politics and american politics, which he's always built on and as a catholic, as well. and obviously going back to j. f. k. there are

a number of presidents and even people like nixon and reagan as well. you have that at ancestry, but i think the important thing with i did, and as you say is that he has that commitment to northern ireland and to looking at the situation in a way that not all presidents do that the, some of them pay kind of lip service to it, but to be honest, biden is somebody who's made it clear that no denying it is like, like bill clinton did before him, something that he's very close to his heart and something that he's going to devote time and energy to. and therefore, you can see why in terms of the breadth negotiations around that time by to made a number of statements which were sort of saying that, you know, make sure that island is not shafted in any deal that comes here. i'm the united states will play a role in protecting ireland and not in that situation as well. okay, so though we have 25 years of relative peace in northern ireland, it's easy to presume that peace is now the default and that an outbreak of hostilities is, is unthinkable. but is it i think that

1st day, i mean it depends how pessimistic you are on these things. i'm afraid a lot of us to spend enough time looking at know that i know that it is still a very divided society. you have to remember that there are still over a 100 at least patient piece wolves as a call to the bit of a misnomer. it's a bit of a thing to say, which is a contradiction in terms they do actually keep the piece and there isn't a very divided and education system still, it's still very no number of mixed marriages for instance. and so hostilities are always something you feel could break out in the future. it, there's no question that we're away from too severe. and also your, some of the review would be aware that a police, a senior police officer and john caldwell was, was shot that shot a number of times in alma county to rome, which had been the scene of a very well known bombing. and in 1980 on the bombing. so dental echoes. and

because of the past, well, he's trying to remind us that it's and so video historians, household and your crystal ball at the same time looking backwards and forwards. do you detect when the framework is the other? the other mechanism which does have no denial and an interesting stuff where it is technically not quite in the united kingdom. and there is a border in the irish sea, which is the thing that union a so resigned to the ones which are our number of protests and quite quite as sized valley is going on at the moment. so there is, there is, there's no question that because of the demographics, because the catholic population has no started to grow the protestant, or number of protest quite quite as sized valleys going on at the moment. so there is, there is, there's no question that because of the demographics, because the catholic population has no started to grow the protestant population. and there is a majority in that direction that some people see that the clock is ticking toward

the 9. and i remember the identity is very complex and i think above what people will do know the 9 is what they've always done, which is the price piece and that kind of grassroots piece making above all else. but talk to you. thank you so much for joining us. dr. kernel path from last somebody at university ah, was really the prime minister. benjamin netanyahu says he's confident he can find a compromise with the opposition of his plans reforms of the judiciary. now who has postpone the introduction of the law for at least a month after huge protest brought the country to a standstill. last, critics describe it as a threat to democracy. plans drew a reproach from us president joe biden extremely tracy. he had absolutely no choice legislation on hold. i just like to correct,

you want to know this was the reforms that have hit the headlines of a say the reform. so the supreme court as well as others, what is it about? so that means women attention gave people that is, i mean it's a very, very serious threat in terms of the way that the direction that they're taking in terms of magnitude. but mister netanyahu has argued that the i'm very concerned that they get this great cannot get on pens on the united states, the united states. so i think he does, he may not admit it. he doesn't like it, but he does not want to be. it does not feel to be a state. so i think it's in rhetoric. what he says

he by definition is in a terrible bind because it's a, i don't think he agrees with the coalition. but he has thank you so much. know me by yeah. cough from chatham house. aah! 80 takes 3 men to operate at 40 tons and driven at speeds of up to 80 kilometers an hour. gunner basil says the texas scare the enemy. well, i will just soon contorted russia. yes many russian parts fit our vehicles trust. we often dismantle rushing tanks for spear parts. the undercarriage is suitable to the what's the thermal sites range finders is in the near. it's have say in check. their crew is more protected. the ammunition capsule is placed at the appetite for new. better was ah,

the finally i concept with 30 minutes, d, w, a minor crisis, all the beginning of a new claim. get us to the head with the w business beyond. sometimes a seed is all you need to allow the big ideas to grow. we're bringing environmental conservation to life with learning facts like global ideas. we will show you

how climate.
