7 percent every weekend on d w ah ah, this is the w is live from berlin report that china is planning a no fly zone north of taiwan. this follows reason, chinese military drills in the region. bringing more from our correspondence in taipei, also on the program leak to u. s. military intelligence documents indicate that nearly a 100 special forces troops from nato countries have been operating inside ukraine . ah,

i'm fil gale. welcome to the program. tie. one says china plans to close air space north of the island for half an hour down from the original 3 days after taipei protested. the move i won says the no fly zone due to be imposed on the morning of april 16th is because a falling objects from a satellite launch vehicle move follows and flying tensions in the region over a recent overseas trip by taiwan, he's president saying when to the united states and canada, china claims taiwan as part of its own territory, while ty, one's government strongly rejects the chinese claims. let's get more from our correspondent william young, who's in the taiwanese capital, taipei welcome, william. let's start with taiwanese defense officials. what are they saying about this that closure so all they have currently

said is it's probably related to a chinese aerospace activity, but they don't know about the nature and also the intention. but how many experts are saying, they believe this is just another chinese grades on tactics trying to test whether they can use a non military excuse to actually implement such a no fly zone in a very busy flight route. that's just north of type, hey, i think there are a few factors that we have to consider for this. for one, this is just happening right after the 3 day military exercise around taiwan. and at the same time, it coincides with the foreign ministers meeting among g 7 countries in japan. and as we know, this is a route is heavily busy traveling between taiwan and japan. and it's also within kind of one's a d i z. so a lot of the experts are saying that this is just china showing the options that

they have in their tool box to pressure on time. one is a d, as that this is the defense with. and as you seem to be indicating that china, and i'm seeing the end of that drills, but the vessels are still there around the island. now we have this supposedly separate announcement about restrictions. so it doesn't sound like the chinese blockade is really over. right, exactly. they have definitely while reducing the number of their military aircraft and naval vessels around time. one, the activities continues because today the people staley, china, state, media reported they continue to have their naval vessels operating what they called as the regular patrol around the water is in taiwan and they are conducting exercise. it's including air defense and anti missile as well as anti submarine exercises. so i think this is just showing that they are trying to impose

a new normal where they consider it their right to actually continue to send out their naval vessels and their military fighter jets around taiwan to make this pressure. and you know, something that will always be around time one. and also i think this is just a way to make tie, pay be aware about the fact if they continue to engage with foreign government officials, especially the united states. china has all these ways and means will continue to impose the pressure and there is an economic element to this as well as china is lower than the investigation into ty, once trade restrictions on chinese products. so what we're hearing from inside taiwan about this so currently the council of agriculture is the only government department that has responded. they claim that these so called

restrictions are a way forward time one to protect the interest of its own farmer in the agricultural industry. and they vow to work with the relevant officials here in taiwan to see what are the reasonable way for ty paid to respond. that experts are saying that the timing and also the timeframe of the full co investigation announced by china coincide with the presidential election. that's going to start very soon in just 9 months. so they viewed this as another way of china pulling another tool out of their toolbox to try to retaliate against the time meeting with mccarthy in california earlier last week. ok, thank you for that william young in time. thank you. so all store is making headlines around the world that will started me and my whether a country's military rulers have confirmed carrying out, asked reg strikes that have reported to left dozens dead, including many children. these pictures show the aftermath of the attack which took

place at a village ceremony being organized by groups opposed to the countries military agenda for indian soldiers have been killed in the pre dawn, shooting at the military base in the border state of punjab. army and police officials have ruled out the likelihood of a terror attack. the incident comes against the backdrop of rising tensions in the northern state of the local resurgence of a separatist movement. he was president, jo biden's, in northern ireland as part of ceremonies, marking the 25th anniversary of the good friday agreement, which ended 30 years of sectarian violence. his speech at the university of ulster is likely to promote the benefits of peace and investment in the region that is due to head on to the republic of ireland, where he has a strong family groups and linked to u. s. military intelligence documents suggest that special forces from nato countries have been operating in ukraine. according to the papers,

u. s. officials estimate that they were more 90 special forces personnel from later states in ukraine without specified marin activities or locations. linked intelligence also claims serbia in the country in europe that refuse to sanction russia over this war as agreed to supply arms to keep let's go through this reverse felina chucker over, who founded the geo political consulting firm face. she joined us from vienna. a welcome to d, w. should we be surprised that the presence of nato special forces in ukraine nonce not at all. in fact, i would argue that to the number of all those so special forces absolutely insignificant to make a difference, sir. second, they are not deployed to on the battlefields and dirt. are most likely these special forces from ne to countries are probably are deployed to, let's say, assist in training and equipment. um, mostly, of course,

it is about the training mission. psalm 40 crenan troops on the ground, right? but i appreciate you say it's, it's not significant, but this bis, if it's true, would be the 1st evidence of the, the boots of nato troops on the ground in ukraine. well, ok again, and they are a nato. ah, and non nato are countries that are delivering cur, military 8 to ukraine in accordance with the, the charter of united nation sir. article, 51. ah, so crane is defending itself and they are having the right tool provide this military are support. so there is no surprise once again, as i said that uh, we may see also spatial forces or let's say a military personnel on the ground in ukraine that provides these support and her consulting. there is

a lot of western misery equipment that is being delivered and has been delivered over the last 14 months. so ukrainian troops needs a neat also to, ah, well, operate with this equipment and you need actually to put on your, our military personnel on the ground. the mix also seem to indicate that serbia is ready to supply arms to ukraine and is, that's a support. serbian support likely to make a significant difference. not at all. oh, it is of course an interesting information. first and foremost a hasn't been confirmed 200 percent. as we all know. still d a. this documents are being, are practically proved to afford their authenticity. ah, and yet it is an interesting case or force as we know, serbia has a very large defense industry. air has been selling a lot of farms and ammunition around the world and they have a very, let's say, a wide range of up private and public. ah, defense procurement, so in

a sense it could have been up private to company supplying ah, the weapons. also, if you think about what happened with the bulgarian government, which in fact the night are supplying weapons to grant. and in fact, it turned out that there was a, an indirect or military 8 coming from bulgaria, also to crane. the quick word on the lake itself at moscow says that this was meant to deceive russia, the u. k. as question the accuracy of the documents and the u. s. is in full hunt the mo mode. what do you make of this lee? well, i think at least as far as we understand tom and also are hearing from the reactions coming from pentagon and from u. s. officials. ah, most likely a law chair of the circumvents esl 10 dick. of course some parts have been already . ok. let's eat, alter it. ah, for obvious reasons. so for instance,

for dissemination on the are russian channels, a russian or the russian reaction is very interesting. cur, they're quite cautious right now to actually comment on that. and i think it has very much to do with uh, this sir. specific. her part of information are that points too on the possibility of further you ice to penetrate the russian ah, security and military system on the ground. so obviously what we understand from the documents is that the, the, the united states was and is still able to learn a lot about the military plants of the russian army. thank you so much for that. a geopolitical unrest, her felina chuck rover from face. thank you. thank you very much. though to italy, where the far right government is declared a 6 month state of emergency fallen sharp, increasing the number of migrants crossing the mediterranean sea in unsafe boats.
