in architecture and this has to be really, really good. starts april 20th on d, w. ah ah, this is dw news live from berlin. reports china is planning to impose a no fly zone around taiwan. taiwanese officials say that up to 70 percent of flights between parts of asia will be affected by the move. it comes hot on the heels of chinese military drills in the region. we'll get the latest from our correspondence in taipei. also coming up italy declaring

a fixed month state of emergency vocal migration. human rights groups day that it's a pretext to send refugees back in violation of international obligations that says thousands of people are rescues from the mediterranean. ah, i'm sarah kelly. welcome to the program. taiwan says that china has shortened the window of aerospace restrictions after the taiwanese government lodged it's protest tie wants defense. mystery has earlier confirmed that china would impose a no fly zone north of the island over 3 days. the restrictions have now been shortened to 27 minutes on the morning of april 16th. south korea has said that the closure is related to fall objects from a launch vehicle. the move follows inflamed attention in the region over

a recent overseas trip by taiwan, president to the united states and canada. china claims that taiwan is part of its own territory. taiwan rejects that claim. joining us now is the w correspondent, william young, and ty pays a william time when the defense officials just holding a conference. what did they have to say about the plans? no fly zone? so the only information that they share during the press conference is in my house something to do with china's aerospace activities. and they said that they will continue to monitor and try to get more information. but i think it's important that the taiwanese transportation ministry immediately stepped and launched a protest, shortened the window of the 3 a no fly zone to just 27 minutes. because as you pointed out, just earlier in the report that it could have

a major disruption to the air traffic in and around taiwan. and i think this even though we don't really know the nature and the intention of imposing, there's no fly zone. it could just be another experiment or the test of a new strategy. china might be considering deploying in the future when they are trying to pose the more pressure on to tie one. what sort of reaction to china is actions in the taiwan strait? can we expect from the taiwanese military? i think those how many smells hurry, continues to be on high alert, because even until today there are still more than 10 chinese naval vessels being detected around taiwan. and the chinese state media are saying that the these naval vessels continue to conduct what they call as the regular patrol and also exercise missions around the taiwan straits. so we also know that next week time,

once military is going to organize a military trail on the east coast. this is an area where china deployed aircraft carrier group shun don't to earlier last weekend when they of for the 1st time tried to test whether they can conduct the landing and take off operation of their fighter jets from the east coast of taiwan. and after that was successful, it was experts alarmed and also warned, it could potentially increase the block case scenario that china can carry out around time one in the future. on the economic front, china has launched an investigation on taiwan trade restrictions on products from the mainland china. what is the likely reaction inside taiwan? the likely reaction to similar measures in the past has always been that how many government have to scramble and try to find alternative markets for all these

products and commodities stop could potentially now be on the band list of china. because as we know, a lot of the commodities still are mostly going out to the chinese market and the chinese economy can market continues to be very prominent featured in tiny ones, economic exports. so i think right now the 20 government will have to work with the industries and try to see if they can immediately find other alternative markets to replace the damage and also try to lessen the pressure that china is trying to impose on taiwan. but of course, i think the long term effect of this is, remains to be seen and but with this is definitely one of the typical tactics of economic coercion that china has always been using after time one tries to engage with other foreign officials and especially with the united states, william yang and ty pay,

thank you. here are some other stories making headlines around the world. me on mars military rulers have confirmed carrying out air strikes that have reported the left dozens of people. dat, including many children. these pictures show the aftermath of the deadly attack which took place at a village ceremony being organized by groups opposed to the countries military hunter. for indian soldiers have been killed in a pre dawn, shooting at a military base on the border state of punjab. army and police officials have ruled out the possibility of it being a terror attack. the incident coming against the backdrop of rising tension in the northern state over the local resurgence of a separatist movement. turkeys president, wretch of ty, bardon has kicked off his re election campaign on tuesday air, tuan slammed what he called global imperialists and unveiled plans to boost public spending. next month, turkey heads for the poles,

for what is expected to be aired on toughest election to date. you as president joe biden is in northern ireland to help mark the 25th anniversary of the good friday agreement, which ended 30 years of sectarian violence. the president will meet with you. k prime minister richie suna in the coming hours before speaking at ulster university . he will meet with each of the leaders of northern ireland. 5 mean 5 made political, 5 main political parties, excuse me. at a time when northern ireland is without a functioning government. u. s. military intelligence documents leaked this week suggest that western special forces from nato countries have been operating in ukraine, according to the documents which appear to be dated in february and march this year . u. s. officials assessed that there were over 9 deep special forces from nato countries in ukraine without specifying their act take activities or their location . the leaked intelligence also claims that serbia,

the only country in europe that has refused to sanction russia for the war, agreed to supply arms to keith. let's bring him correspond mathias ballinger, who is joining us from keith. now mathias, could the claims about nato special forces troops? how likely are they true and what impact could they potentially have on the conflict? is very hard to assess whether they're true or not. they're only screeches of these documents, and as far as i understand, they're also not complete screenshots of the whole document. and it's not, it would not be a surprise that these troops are inside the country. if this turns out to be true, because we know that military advisors, for example, have been in the country for during though the war there have been training missions of nato forces including special forces before the war in ukraine. are these trainings are not conducted in ukraine anymore?

um, there are sometimes a missions that for a company, foreign missions are here, or maybe a stuff stationed at embassies, emergency stuff, et cetera, et cetera. so it's very unclear what this number refers to, whether it really refers to troops active in combat, or we don't have any information on that. i would be very careful with this information. it's very, very scars what we know so far about it and we will not be able to obtain any confirmation or details about it so far. another piece of information are reported . finally, documents as our serbia reported the agreeing to supply arms to ukraine. and if that does prove to be authentic, how could, if potentially affect the battlefields. so this would of course have a big impact on serbia itself. but here in ukraine, um this, the, the main benefit of this would be that sir,

serbia would most likely be providing subject a soviet, her style systems. or for example ammunition ah, for these um systems for, for, for artillery or whatever. and i have been reports earlier about serbia providing grand rock kids. this is one of the most common a rocket launch is used at the front lines from both sides there. so yet made ukraine has a is a supply of these. but of course, as you crank and not my are ammunition in russia, this, the, the ammunition supplies are dwindling. and serbia might be one of the countries that could supply them along with other countries in eastern europe. that would be the main impact of these supplies. but again, we do not know anything. we do not. first of all, we do not know whether it's true and, and we do not know about the scale of these. so it's most likely not

a game changer in this war matter. thank you. thank you. italy is far right, government has declared a 6 month state of emergency following a sharp rise and the number of migrants crossing the mediterranean sea. thousands made the crossing just this weekend and at least 2 were found dead. rescue efforts are underway to help over a 1000 more off of italy, southern shores the number of boats making treacherous trips like this one has risen drastically in recent days. age groups and the italian coast guard have rescued more than 1000 people from over packed, barely see worthy vessels. many of those making the journey have ended up here. at the migrant seemed on the italian island of lump azusa authority, say they have been 2000 arrivals since friday. but still, you know, gets

a little bit, it's in, i can say that there are many female migrants with young children and several, unaccompanied miners needed on a providing that we are in an emergency situation with us. and i'm at the staff a trying to do what they can to meet the primary emergency. so video limited in saturday, marya now georgia maloney's right wing government has declared a state of emergency. and what it says is an attempt to better manage the search and arrivals the 6 month measure will provide $5000000.00 euros to set up new refugee reception. seen to. but it will also allow the government, which campaigned on anti immigration, promises to quickly to port those not allowed to stay human rights activists. fear the changes are an excuse to port migrants and potentially deny refugees the rights as they seek asylum and europe. the river sand running through paris has been the backdrop for countless love stories. it's also been the

depository for raw sewage making swimming in it, forbidden and downright dangerous. that could soon be a thing of the past. would you go for swim in these waters? you might want to think twice. swimming in the river. sand is strictly forbidden and has been for the last 100 years. the reason untreated sewage that flows directly into the river, but that could soon change. look at the water. and you know right now it's a little bit survey that we listed, but that is not related so much. there are lots of really clean water which are like that because they're all in them and, and frankly, some measurements. and i saw that it's a good measurement. i jumped in and said right, paris is planning to make it possible to bathe in its main river again. and so far, the effort seemed to be paying off. fisher returning to the sand and the water quality has been improving in recent decades. just in time for next year's olympic

gains. paris wants to host several swimming competitions for the lympics and paralympics right here. it's been a our project a for a decade of and that's a for me, a fantastic demonstration of the power of the game. thanks to the games. we all the possibility to make sure that all the stakeholders will accelerate the work to make sure that by 2024 it will be possible and feasible to swing in the river and the 5 mile thought that it would be the 1st time beckoned the 1930 some competitions were held here despite the general belin swimming in the sand making. now the french capitalists, investing 1400000000 euros in order to make it possible once more. one of the measures is the building of huge water tanks for storing rainwater. that might otherwise cause the public sewer system to overflow and end up polluting the river . but the races on to clean up the sand in time. the 1st olympic swimmers are supposed to take the plunge and dive into the river again. on july 30th,
