ah, ah ah, this is the w news lying from main china planning a no fly zone north of taiwan. this follows recent to military drills in the region will bring the latest from our correspondent in taipei, also on the program. u. s. president. joe, by the time the next 25 years of peace in northern ireland and urges all parties to remember pass sacrifices as they are aim to preserve future peace. german government responds to growing calls to legalize it's that growth,

possession and personal use of small amounts of cannabis will soon be permitted and nasa failed it's math. simulation habitat, volunteers will live in the facility for a year at a time to test out what might be like a future mission. ah, i'm feel gale. welcome to the program. taiwan says china is planning to close air space north of the island for half an hour later this week. that time is down from the 3 days originally proposed after taipei protested against the move. taiwan says china notified it that had no fly zone would be imposed on the morning of 16th of april because of a falling objects from a satellite launch vehicle. chinese move funds and flame tensions in the region of

recent overseas trip by taiwanese president saying when the united states and to canada, asian claims taiwan is chinese territory. rich tie, one strongly rejects. i corresponded william young in taipei, told me more about the reactions to this latest chinese move. 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 ty pay. 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, manji 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 time, once a d i, the 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 taiwan is a d, as this is the defense. but with, as you seem to be indicating that china and i've seen the end of that drills, but their vessels are still there around the island and that we have this supposedly separate announcement about restricts. and so it doesn't sound like 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 rides 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 elements to this,

as well as china's lowest 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 and wait for 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 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 type a u. s. president joe biden has called for political compromise in northern ireland. he is visiting the province as part of celebrations, mark in the 25th anniversary of the good friday agreement, which ended decades of civil conflict. the president may the case for enduring peace. its benefits are for people on both sides of the religious divide and was the game played on his irish ruse. he also stressed that peace in northern ireland is the priority for both major u. s. political parties. he's not scheduled to travel on to the republic of ireland for a 3 day visit. 25 years ago this week. the landmark grow faster, friday grew size. and it wasn't easy. i was united states senator at the time and i worked very closely with my good friend, george mitchell. hope be here. i believe in a couple of days. and there were no guarantees that the deal on paper would hold

no guarantees or would be able to deliver the progress we celebrate today. it took long, hard years of work to get to this place. it took a people willing to come together in good faith and to risk bolt for the future as get more for correspondent rosie birch out who's in the northern irish capital belfast. welcome rosie. what else did the president tough to say? well, biden phil has no left the building, some of the people behind me are here in protest. they don't like biden's foreign policy, but most of them i've come because they were eagerly awaiting his arrival on are happy. he's come to belfast and he had a message for all the people of northern ireland. he said, your history is our history and your future is our future. he paid tribute to those that have worked to preserve the peace that was secured. by that landmark accord the good friday agreement, aiden 1998. at accord which

a guaranteed of which secured paramilitary groups laying down their arms, which set up a whole new consent based mode of governance and which has been hailed right. the war does a freel feet of diplomacy, carefully crafted and painstakingly maintained trust. he thanked those, he says, have been working each day to maintain not peace. and he said that all children here in northern ireland should not have that peace secured by that agreement 25 years ago as their birthrights and the visit is shorter than many expected y. well, you're quite right. phil biden has left this building and he was been here for less than 24 hours. blink. and you might have missed this visit though. it is a momentous one. he's already heading for the republic of ireland where he's due to spend 2 and a half days. so it's not just that his schedule was too tight to perhaps spend any more time here. but this visit is in some ways bittersweet. and that is because, despite the fact that peace has endured from this, from the good friday agreement,

the institutions which it laid out most notably, they political set up for power sharing. here in northern ireland and the devolved government, will those institutions are not functioning. and that is down to a political spot, a row over post breaks it, trading arrangements. now, joe biden chose his words very carefully on this point. he said he hopes the devolved administration will be restored, but he said that is a judgement for you. and not for me. it seemed to me that he was very careful there to try not appear that he was pushing anyone in any particular direction. but we know he has been and talks of the political parties here, and he has also had talks with the u. k. prime minister rishi, soon like he praised which you soon act on the european commission president ursula underline for work. he says they have done in order to try and resolve that dispute with a reform to the post wrecks trading arrangements in place after the united kingdom left the european union. he says about those that those reforms which are referred

to as the windsor framework go far to address some of those concerns that have been raised here in northern ireland. so pretty careful with his words there, but he said a hope that the devolved executive will be restored. and was there any real expectation that mister biden's trip could help solve a political style night? but sir, current and norma. well, it depends who you ask. you know, i spoke to plenty of people here who said they hoped that this could indeed shift the dial, but some that were more skeptical. and that's because at some giddiness she's here . so those are which what northern ireland to remain part of the united kingdom. see joe biden as not i not of an impartial broker here to try and cross this device which still exists despite that 25 years of enduring peace at last, not least, because joe biden talks often about his irish ancestry. he will in the next coming days, be visiting a tones in ireland where his ancestors left in the 1840 he will be ringing piece

bells. he will even give a speech from a cathedral in the republic of ireland. so whether or not this will shift the dial in any way will that really remains to be seen. there is a hope here that that may be the case and certainly a hope expressed both by joe biden, an u. k. prime minister reaches soon out, but no biden will cross the border and continue his trip a much more cultural affair. he has a couple of more species still to make. so let's see what he says on the next like of this trip. thanks. what sir? rosie rosie bird shot in belfast or stores making headlines around the world. mammals manage the rules of confirmed carrying our test drive that have reported left doesn't stab, including many children. these pictures show the aftermath of the attack which took place at a village ceremony are being organized by groups opposed to the countries miniature jumped for indian soldiers have been killed in a pre don't shooting as a military basin in the border states of punjab. army and police officials have

europe in unsafe boats. the u. m says more than 400 people have died, trying to make this journey in the 1st 3 months of this year. the number of bo, it's making treacherous trips like this one has risen drastically in recent days. 8 groups and the italian coast guard have rescued more than 1000 people from over packed barely c worthy vessels. many of though is making the journey have ended up here. at the migrant seemed her on the italian island of lum producer authority say they have been 2000 arrivals since friday was to get some of it in like and say that there are many female migrants with young children and several unaccompanied miners needed. we are in an emergency situation about some of the staff, a trying to do what they can to meet the primary emergency, somebody to limit 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 scenes. 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 in europe. linked to u. s. military intelligence documents suggests that special forces from nato countries have been operating in you cried. according to the papers, u. s. officials estimate that they were more than 90 special forces personnel from nato states and you cried without specifying their activities or locations. leaks. intelligence also claims that serbia has agreed to supply arms to keep

a service here in the country in europe to refuse to sanction russia. over the war felina chucker of founded the geopolitical consulting firm face. i asked her if we should be surprised at the presence of nature, special forces in ukraine. i'm not at all. in fact, i would argue that to the number of all those. so special forces absolutely insignificant to make a difference. a 2nd. they are not deployed to on the battlefields and dirt, most likely. these special forces from ne to countries are probably deployed to, let's say, assist in training and equipment. mostly, of course, it is about the training mission. so 40 crenan shops 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 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 provide this military are support. so there is no surprise once again, as i said that, oh, we may see also special forces or a, 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. 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 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 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 arms 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 weapons. also, if you think about what happened with the bulgarian government, which in fact a night, ah, supplying weapons to grant. and in fact,

it turned out that there was an indirect, her military 8 coming from bulgaria, also to crane a 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 in 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 circumvents f. e. so then dick, 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 her, the, 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 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 roster from in a chuck rover from face. thank you. to levels of patience and understanding the u. s. space agency is unveiled its mass simulation habitat where volunteers will live for a year at a time to test out living conditions for future emissions to earth neva. located in texas, the 3 d printed structure comes with 4 bedrooms, a gym, 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 missions 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 that shared 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 over time 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 in the next decade. here in germany, government plans to legalize the use of cannabis taking shape,

health minister car. now tobacco announced that the possession of small amounts of we'd will be permitted as will the growth of some candidates for private use. it follow passes, the proposals distribution will be possible in special consumer associations with a 5 year test phase. will see the control sale of kind of his product limited to just a few outlooks. outlets. i here is the joe in the health minister called lot of well enough for shooting. we want to prevent cannabis leading to the consumption of harder drugs. we want to better protect the youth. we want to fight the black market. we want to push back drug related crime. i mean, we want to get a grip on the steadily increasing toxicity of the products. in other words, we don't want to create a problem, but contribute to the resolution of an unsolved problem, probably in wireless via f. and so this or political correspondent to thomas spell

told me more about the government's plans. some of the plans that were announced by the government include allowing so called non profit associations that essentially have the task of cultivating the product for recreational purposes and only for adults acquiring and possessing up to 25 grams of cannabis for personal consumption would also become legal as well as cultivating a maximum of 3 plans at home. but the plans are not set to include and this is important. widespread sales in shops. now, members of the governing coalition have welcomed these plans, saying they are pragmatic. they would help to protect consumers. they would help to fight the black market, but members of the conservative opposition have remained critical. and they've emphasized that consumption could cause considerable hom, especially to children and young adults, will the original plan, as i understand it was for a much more extensive liberalization. why is that not happening?

that's correct. the german government had actually laid out a plan which had been described as much more ambitious than this one. but it quickly became apparent that it was difficult to coordinate the german plans with you laws. and for instance, the shang, an agreement which basically eliminated many national borders. says members have to prevent the sale, the expert, the procurement and the distribution of cannabis products and germany as well as all of its 9 neighbors, a part of shank. and so basically, these new proposals are seen as a less ambitious plan, which could, however, potentially be in accordance with e u laws and regulations. so what is the situation like elsewhere in europe? well, actually, germany's original plan have been described as the boldest in europe going in part, even beyond regulations in countries like the netherlands, which is seen as a wheat, friendly country. but these new water down proposals are arguably much less ambitious

. now more broadly, the eu has been described as having a more conservative approach to cannabis compared to other parts of the world. but again, it is clear that different countries within the you have had different national approaches. many european countries, and this includes germany, have already legalized cannabis for limited medicinal purposes. thank you for thomas thomas sparrow. finally, how much would you be willing to spend around a part of and be a history, an auction at sotheby's, or seen someone bit $2200000.00 for a pair of old school jordan's making of the most expensive sneak of sale ass, making them the most expensive sneakers sold at auction. michael johnson jordan laced up these iconic black and red ad jordan 13. so he's, i'm a run for a championship and came to of the $998.00 and b a finals is endless. score $37.00
