[000:00:00;00] hey, this is d w news line from berlin report that china is planning and no fly zone north of taiwan. this follows recent chinese military drills in the region will bring you more from our correspondence in taipei, also on the program. u. s. president joe biden is in northern ireland. he said to help mark the 25th anniversary of the good friday agreement. and for talks with british prime minister wishes to leads us military intelligence. documents indicate that nearly

a 100 special forces troops from nato countries have been operating inside the crate. and nasa unveils it's mom simulation habitat volunteers will live in the facility for you at the time, the test and what life would be like for future missions. neighbor ah, i'm feel gale. welcome to the program. i want says china plans to close air space north will be on for half an hour. that's down from the original 3 days following protest from taipei, taiwan says it was notified by china that the no fly zone be imposed on the morning of april 16th is a falling objects from a satellite launch vehicle. the move follows and flame tensions in the region over a recent overseas trip. by time when he's president sighing when the united states

and canada, china claims taiwan as its own territory, which taiwan strongly rejects, correspond william young in taipei told me more about time when he's reaction to this latest chinese announcement. so all they have currently said is that it's probably related to a chinese aerospace activity, but they don't know about the nature and also the intention. but how, when his experts are saying that they believe this is just another chinese agrees 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 taipei. i think there are a few factors that we have to consider for this. for one, this is just happening, bry, after the 3 day military exercise around taiwan. and at the same time a,

coincides with the foreign ministers meeting among g 7 countries in japan. and as we know, this is a route that is heavily busy traveling between taiwan and japan. and it's also within time, once a d i see. so a lot of the experts are saying that this is just china as showing the options that they have in their tool box to pressure on time. one is a d, as they're, this is the air defenses, but we're, as you've seen, to be indicating the china announcing the ends of their drills. but their vessels are still there around me either. now we have is supposedly separate announcement about our air restricts and so it doesn't sound alike. the chinese blockade is really over. right, exactly. they have definitely while reducing the number of very 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 rights 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, to 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's

lowest in the investigation into taiwan 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 away for time one to protect the interest of its own. a 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 taipei to respond that experts are saying that the timing and also the timeframe of the so co investigation announced by china coincide with the presidential election that's going to start very soon in just 9 months. so they, they view this as another way of china pulling another tool out of their tool box to try to retaliate against the time meeting with mccarthy in california earlier last week. ok,

thank you for that sir william young in time. are you as president joe biden is in northern ireland as part of celebrations, marking the 25th anniversary of the good friday agreement, which ended 30 years of sectarian violence. his met with british prime minister, but she soon ahead of an address at ulster university. after that he shuttle to meet with each of the leaders of northern islands. 5 made political parties. security in belfast is tight. his visit comes to the time of political uncertainty in the region, which is a currently, an without a functioning government. a correspondent of rosie burch our day is in the northern irish capital belfast at welcome rosie. what can we expect to hear from the presidents later? well, phil, i'm outside auster, university in belfast for president biden is due to deliver a speech, his only public facing engagement during this trip to belfast. there's plenty of police around. there's also

a small crowd gathered here. some of them don't think joe biden is a welcome guest, but most that i spoke to are eagerly awaiting his arrival. but he is currently as we, as far as i understand busy in a meeting with the u. k. prime minister re she soon as they are due to discuss ukraine of course the u, as in united kingdom, both big backers of key is, but i think top of the agenda really will be the political situation here in northern ireland because of course, biden is here. to march, to celebrate 25 years since the good friday agreement. that landmark peace accord that put an end to decades of violent sectarian conflict between broadly 2 communities. here in northern ireland that are divided along different aspirations towards the constitutional destiny of northern ireland. on the one hand, on one hand, you knew that one to remain part of the united kingdom. and on the other hand, nationalists that would like northern ireland to be united with ireland. now, some of the people i spoke to here have told me of

a terrible memories from their childhood bonds going off in their tones. some others i spoke to phil are younger than 25 and of course then have known nothing but peace because that peace accord the good friday agreement, secured power paramilitary groups laying down their arms in a new mode of governance here in northern ireland. and i think both prime minister we, she suna and joe biden, the u. s. president will be want to put that top of the agenda to really show and to commemorate the gains of that agreement. and mr. by make so much of his family's roots in the republic of ireland and his country's role in gaining and indeed maintaining the peace in northern ireland. perhaps you could tell us a bit about the well, absolutely, the united states help to broker that piece of court, which i discussed, but they base it here today from president biden. is somewhat bittersweet, phil, that's because 25 years on a quarter of a century after the accord was signed,

the institutions which it laid out are not all working. there is no functioning devolved government here in northern ireland, and that is down to a political dispute over post bricks. it trading arrangements. there is one major party here. the duke democratic unionist party, which has been boycotting, forming an executive, essentially arguing that the set up after the united kingdom left the european union presents an existential threat to northern irelands place within the u. k. now, joe biden, a some hope hays visit here. his speech here might help to try and shift the dial on this might help to try and get politicians, but groaned the table, a restore power sharing some more optimistic than others. biden aisd, you to speak to political leaders here. but as you mentioned, biden makes a lot of his irish ancestry. and that means that some unionist here in northern ireland think he is simply the wrong messenger and that he is not enough of an impartial broker across this divide, which still divides the country despite the fact that peace has had us held back

key institution, power sharing developed government, as i said, is not in action, which makes the whole toner, the visits slightly more liter suite. right? on the spacing between a u. s. president, i'm in your case, our prime minister of what to expect to commercial that well, the united kingdom certainly would like to discuss a potential trade deal with united states that we don't really expect that to be on the table at this time. because a biden will, as soon as he finishes his speech here at all, state university really be quite swiftly leaving northern ireland and heading cross the border into ireland for 2 and a half days more act of activity there. including, for example, rigging a piece of bell and visiting some of the times where his ancestors lived in the 1800. so it's pretty short fleeting, swift visit here in northern ireland. some people say that shows a message in itself that seems a bit of a slight, perhaps toward the u. k. government. so really, as soon as biden arrives, you might blink and you'd miss his visit,

but he will be spending more days touring. a republic of ireland is due to address the irish parliament. and is you also to meet with the president of ireland and the iris t shake prime minister lee over at car? thank you for that. rosie rosie burch out in belfast is look at the last or is making news around the world. was that in men mom, i have a country's military rulers have confirmed carrying out air strikes that have reportedly left dozens dead, including many children. these pictures show the aftermath of the attack which took place at a village ceremony are organized by groups opposed to the country's military gentle for indian soldiers have been killed in the pre dawn, shooting at a military base in the border state of punjab. army and police officials have filled out the likelihood of a terror attack. and the incident comes against a backdrop of rising tension and the normal state of the local resurgence of a separatist movement. turkeys president,

a roger type ergo has begun his re election campaign. on tuesday, he criticized what he called the global imperialists and revealed plans to boost public spending. turkey goes to poles next month or was expected to be the president's toughest election fight at an italy where the far right government is declared a 6 months state of emergency following a sharp increase in the number of migrants crossing the mediterranean sea. thousands made the crossings just this weekend and at least 2 were found dead. rescue efforts are underway to help, but more than a 1000, more off italy, southern coast 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 her on the italian island of lum producer. authority say be,

have been 2000 arrivals since friday, but still, you know, get some of it is in like and say that there are many female migrants with young children and several unaccompanied miners needed. we are in an emergency situation with us in the staff are trying to do what they can to meet the primary emergency. so video are limited inside the 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 deport migrants and potentially deny

refugees their rights as they seek asylum and europe leaks u. s. military intelligence documents suggest that special forces from nato countries have been operating in ukraine. according to the paper, say, u. s. officials estimate that there were more than 90 special forces personnel, nato states in ukraine, without specifying their activities or locations. the lead intelligence also claim serbia. any country in europe is refused to sanction and russia, the war was agreed to supply arms to keith. i spoke river felina chuck rover, who founded the geopolitical consulting firm face and asked her if we should be surprised at the presence of nato troops in ukraine. no, not at all. in fact, i would argue that the number of those special forces absolutely is significant to make a difference or 2nd. they are not deployed on the battlefields and dirt. most likely,

these special forces from need to countries are probably, are deployed to, let's say, assist in training and equipment. mostly, of course it is about the training mission. so for the pregnant troops on the ground. right. but i appreciate you say it's, it's not significant, but this, this, if it's true, would be the 1st are evidence of the boots of nato troops on the ground in ukraine . well, once 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 $51.00 ah, so crane is defending itself and they are having the right tool or provide this military are support. so there is no surprise once again, as i said that a we may see also special forces or let's say

a military personnel on the ground in ukraine that provides this 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 need also to, ah, well, operate with this equipment and you need actually to put on your, our military personnel on the ground. and the leaks also seem to indicate that serbia is ready to supply arms to ukraine and is that's a support. serbian support likely to make her a significant difference. not at all. oh, it is of course an interesting information. first and foremost, a hasn't been confirmed to come to present as we all know, still g a. this documents are being, are practically proved to afford their authenticity. ah, and yet it is an interesting case of force. as we know, serbia has

a very large defense industry. air has been selling a lot of arms and ammunition around the world. and they have a very, let's say, a wide range of up private and public. ah ah, the fan so procurement so in a sense it could have been up private to company supplying ah weapons. also, if you think about what happened with the bulgarian government, which in fact a night, ah, supplying weapons to grant. in fact, it turned out that there was an indirect, her 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 a 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 so commence a, so 10 tick, of course, some parts have been already ah, let's say, alter it of for obvious reasons. so for instance, for dissemination on our 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 our, this a specific her part of information or 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 a, the, a did united states worse and is still able to learn a lot about the military plants of the russian army. thank you so much for that. a geopolitical and rest her femina chuck rover from face. thank you. thank you very

much. or nasa is looking for a flat mates with elite levels of patience and understanding. the rest space agency has revealed its mass simulation habitat where volunteers will live for a year at a time to test out living conditions for future emissions to earth neighbor, located in texas, the 3 d printed structure comes with 4 bedrooms at you and lots of red sat the facility includes a replica of the martian environment. not surprisingly, the ground is covered in red sand and scattered around the room known as the sandbox. our other pieces of equipment astronauts would likely use, including a solar panel, a weather station, and a treadmill to simulate the long trips outside astronauts would make to collect samples and gather other data. there's also a brick making machine. part of the activities for mars mission would be, besides the geology and exploration building and maintaining that infrastructure

for wife on mars, for human life on mars, or for humans to come and and future mission is to come. they want to start building out that infrastructure. the astronauts would then go through an air lock with several doors before entering the living quarters. dubbed the mars dune alpha, the 160 square meter home includes 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, an exercise room, a medical bay, and an area to grow crops, such as lettuce and tomatoes. the members of the 1st experiment team have yet to be named, but nasa says the astronauts chosen will likely have backgrounds in science, engineering, and math. they'll also be under constant surveillance to see how they handle the environment beside life, lation confinement and the cheer distance. um would be things like being able to get along. so when you're in a small habitat with you know,

3 other people that can wear on you overtime and we have different experiments. those experiments include testing the cruise response to stressful situations, such as restricting water availability and equipment failures. nasa hopes the simulations here on earth will allow the united states to send people to mars sunk in the next decade. down here on earth, the river, same running through paris has been the backdrop, the countless love stories. it's also been the depository for raw sewage, meaning that swimming in, it is not only forbidden, but also downright dangerous. but that could soon be a thing of the past. would you go for a 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 thermal,

it really is. it is not related so much with the rick. there are a lot of really good waters which are from it like that because they're all in them . frankly. if i does have measurement and i saw that it's a good measurement, young them right away. paris is planning to make it possible to bathe in its main river again. and so far the efforts seem 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, a projector for a decade, and that's a for mere a fantastic demonstration of the power of the game. thanks to the games. we on the possibility to make sure that all the stakeholders will accelerate the work to make sure that by 2024 it will be possible and physical to swing in the river then 5

miles from it. will it be the 1st time back in the 1930? some competitions were held here, despite the general ben on swimming in the same way. 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 2024 at 4 bowls, champions, lay, quarter finals are inter milan bait been featured to nail while bye and munich were beaten 3 and knelt by manchester city. in the 1st leg, rodrigo got the oprah for the premier ship side in the 27th minute and a bernardo silver and elling. harland added 2 more girls after the break. return leg in munich is on tuesday. will after march. both coaches express the belief that
