ah, in our series guardians of truth and watch no on youtube dw documentary ah ah, this is dw slide from berlin. china plans a no fly zone. north of taiwan. tensions are high after recent chinese military drills in the region will bring you the latest from our correspondent in taipei, also on the program. you as president, joe by mark's 25 years of peace in northern arnold, and urges all parties to remember past sacrifices as they aimed to preserve peace

in the future. meet u. s. military intelligence documents indicate that nearly a 100 special forces troops from nato countries have been operating inside you crate. and nasa unveiled it's mars simulator. volunteers will live in the facility for a year at a time to test what life would be like for future missions to earth neighbor. ah, i'm pablo folemi as welcome to the program. taiwan says china is planning to close air space north of the island. later this week, the half hour restriction is shorter than the 3 days. beijing originally proposed after taipei protested. taiwan says, china has notify this at

a no fly zone will be imposed on the morning of april 16th because of falling objects from a satellite launch vehicle. tensions in the region are running high following a controversial trip to the u. s. by taiwan president. when they shing claims the island of chinese territory, which taiwan strongly rejects. right, well for more on this view, correspondent william wine yang, joins us from the taiwanese capital tie. pay william, great to see. so what have taiwanese defense officials said about the no fly zone. so the only thing that they have for so far is the suspect. it's related to an aerospace activity that's going to be conducted by the chinese and they didn't offer much more detail about it. but experts here in tie pay have told me that basically they viewed this as another gray zone tactic. aging has poured out of its

toolbox to basically show type pay in neighboring countries. it has the capacity to disrupt the air traffic in this very busy flight row. and at the same time, showcasing, they have other means other than military means to impose the potential blockade around taiwan. because as we know, this is a very tricky spot that also i think coincides with ty, one's air defense identification zone in the north. and at the same time, it's also the flight information region for type pay in the noise. so it's just a very strategically important spot that china is somehow deciding to launch a satellite, which the experts say it's just uncommon. now william china and i'm the end of drills, but their vessels are actually still around the island under. now of course we have this, no fly zone announcements. so are they really over them? the drills?

so while the officials encirclement style mil, 3 exercise that started on saturday has ended on monday, but the there naval vessels continue to operate around the waters near taiwan. they, the state media reported today that some of the naval vessels are conducting regular patrols and at the same time also practicing their anti missile and air defense as well as anti submarine drills. and i think this frequency, even though the actual military exercise has ended, it's just showcasing again that china is potentially going to start increasing the frequency of this kind of military activities. and to try to show in one time, one about future engagement with high level officials. from the united states or other foreign countries. let's turn our attention to the economy. now. william china has launched an investigation on that taiwan trade restrictions on chinese

product. so tell us a little bit about the reaction from taiwan soul tie once madeline affairs council, which is in charge of cross street relations has basically come out instead of aging. move is not going to be productive to the bilateral trade and also cooperation. and at the same time, the agricultural council has also set the original important restriction is in place because they want to protect inch and ensure the time one farmers interest is not going to be infringed or sacrifice because of the competition coming from china . and so far, i think the economic ministry is deciding to consider what kind of response is proper for type pay. and coming from china, they view this as a long standing infringement of the bilateral trade agreement that was signed about 10 years ago. so they think that it is time for them to respond. but looking at the

timing of the entire investigation timeframe, a lot of the experts are suspecting the china is intentionally timing this just right around the same time as time one starts to prepare for the presidential election in january 2024. so they viewed this as another response to 4 pages to express frustration about time. when's meeting with us healthy for kevin mccarthy last week in california? and i think paging again, it's showing the wide range of tools and responses that it has on its hands. and it's just a warning type. hey, they have to be very careful about the next move that they are going to make leading into the next election. thanks william w. william young in type a us president joe biden has called for political compromise in northern ireland. his visit is part of celebrations to mark the 25th anniversary

of the good friday agreement, which put an end to decades of civil conflict. the president made the case for ensuring peace and its benefits for people on both sides of the religious divide. you also stress that peace in northern ireland is a priority for both major u. s. political parties. biden, who often talks about his iris roots is now scheduled to travel from northern ireland onto the republic of ireland for a 3 day visit 25 years ago. this week for landmark belfast good friday agreement side. and it wasn't easy. i was united states senator at the time and i worked very closely with my good friend, george mitchell, who will be here, i believe in a couple of days. and there are no guarantees that the deal on paperwork whole. no guarantees that it will be able to deliver the progress we celebrate today. it took long, hard years of work to get to this place. it took people willing to come together in

good faith and to risk boldly for the future. all right, well, to talk more about joe biden strip to north northern and republic of ours. is that cross over now to rosie bert charge? who is in belfast? rosie, great to see you. so president biden's visit to northern ireland is shorter than some had expected. why is that or president biden addressed people of northern ireland, a room fool at ulster university here behind me. and he spent a lot of that speech really talking about the gains of the good friday agreement, that landmark 1998 piece a court. he said that when he visited northern ireland in the 19 ninety's the early 19 ninety's before that agreement, he said he would not think there would be able to be a glass building like this one where he spoke in the middle of belfast. because at that time, the city was scarred by barbed wire, and people were living in the near constant fear of that sectarian violence which

they sa court brought an end to. so he really stressed the importance of keep maintaining that peace. and of course, trying to promote prosperity, but this visit was very fleeting. blink. and you might have missed that you could basically fit the entire agenda on a postage stamp. he had a brief meeting with u. k. prime minister a re she soon act before making this address here at auster university and something that is because pub load, the whole byte and visit here is bittersweet. because despite the fact that peace has held in these 25 years of the good friday agreement, the institutions which it lays out the political set up for power sharing consent base government in devolved administration here in northern ireland. while those institutions are not working. and that is down to a political stale nate among political parties here in northern ireland, particularly one called the democratic unionist party, which is complaining about this set up for trading arrangements for northern r, ireland, after the united kingdom left the european union. they argue that the current set

up essentially threatens northern irelands place within the united kingdom. the u. k. and the european union have tried to address those concerns with in some reforms to the initial document that laid out those trading arrangements. but so far it seems that in the eyes of that political party, those have not gone far enough. so biden's visit here. sudden told me they say is bittersweet. i spoke to one student. he was in room. he said, we'll bittersweet. but that's northern ireland for you said half the time things work and half the time they don't know, rosie tell us a little bit about you. you've mentioned that there at the expectation that perhaps biden's trip could in some way help to restore the power sharing in northern ireland. well, some hope that would be the case. i spoke to some people outside the university here said they were optimistic that it might help shift the political dial here. but we have already heard from jeffrey donaldson. he is the leader of the democratic unionist party. the party that has been boy costing. the devolved

government here in northern ireland, and he said that biden's visit does not shift the political dynamic here. he said the u. k. government needs to do more to shore up in northern ireland ability to trade with the rest of the united kingdom. so it looks like, according to him, at least that, that visit actually hasn't shifted the political mood here. although of course we'll be waiting to see in the coming days and weeks. what happens next? thoughts are certainly the people that i've spoken to here are frustrated. the people in the streets are frustrated that there is no developed government in place on people talking about issues with health care. and i certainly heard at least one person sale politicians are getting paid. they should give their wages back if they're not going to sit in government. of course the dp says it does. wanted to sit out to government to be restored, but it says the conditions are not yet in place, so that stay late for no remains. right. tell us a little bit more briefly if you could about biden's trip to at north orland and

the republic of ireland. well, biden has already left northern ireland. he is heading to the republic of ireland, where he will visit some of the towns where his ancestors once lived before they left for the united states. he will ring a p spell he will meet with the present of ireland and the t shirts, the prime minister of ireland. he will make an address to the irish parliament before friday. he makes a public speech ain't a town where his ancestors once lived, and you'll be doing that in front of a cathedral. some say this whole visit is sort of a message to you. irish american voters. we know the president biden or risk, their suspicion. rumors that president biden may soon announce that he may re run it for you as president in the future. so there might be some murmurings of our in that in the next couple of days. but certainly best part of the visit has a rob taught biden's visit to northern and 30 fleeting and no. begins the next stage until friday, his trip to ireland. thanks, rosie, wrote rosie burkhart in belfast. thanks.

let's take a look now at some of the other stories making headlines around the world. now, mars military rulers of confirmed carrying out an air strike that killed dozens of civilians. these pictures show the aftermath of the attack on a village ceremony organized by groups opposed to the ruling jointer, the united nations in western powers of condemned. the strike for indian soldiers have been killed in a shooting at a military base in the border state of punjab. tensions there are rising over the resurgence of a separatist movement. officials have ruled out a terror attack, turkeys president, reggie of tire bird one has kicked off his reelection campaign. he's criticized what he called global imperialists and pledge to boost pub expanding turkey goes to to pose next month, were early one facing a tough election battle chilies congress is celebrating a bill to cut the working weeks and 45 to 40 hours. the legislation is

a victory for president cathy and vote each took office last year, but as failed to get support for his agenda of social and economic reform. federal agents in the u. s. are investigating how classified intelligence documents ended up on social media. the material so marked top secret includes sensitive material about the war in ukraine. it includes claims that serbia has agreed to supply arms to keep serbia is the only country in europe that refuses to sanction russia over the war. the pentagon briefing papers also contain sensitive material on key u. s. allies, including canada, china, israel, and south korea. the speak now to thomas is zillow han and on who about the yet transatlantic relations? am he deals with transatlantic relations for germany is conservative, c d u c s u opposition. welcome to d w. so there's a lot of speculation around these documents. moscow says they're meant to deceive

russia. the u. k. has questioned their accuracy. the u. s. is trying to uncover who's responsible, but what i want to know is, what do you make of the leaks of these are very sensitive issues, of course. and there is a need for information on what's going on in the ukraine. their story, ukraine and united states are the biggest supporter of ukraine, both in the military equipment and i mentioned, or that's why nobody should be surprised if the united states trade autonomy to gain information that we should abstain from any anti american. originally this case has been proven so far that some of the documents in it. ready so these documents, if you search it off this information and russian propaganda,

it's been the accuracy of these documents. and these ration channels for new user information for the purposes. ok, but we have been here before arrived a decade ago, the u. s. national security agency review was revealed to have spied on angular medical, mobile phone. so what's the latest revelation say about the relationship the u. s. has with allies ball as buying on our eyes is always a matter of confidence. i would prefer to exchange our views in person, and of course we should have a trust on it is or situation. but it's of course, a dangerous situation on the if you can choose,

for example, consumer information of our reconnaissance. it's dan, i listen pirated. so green this could offer opportunities for russia to interfere in communication. ready and that's by it's a task for american offices to reach the extent and origin of east leakage is, is, requires some personnel and time. so it will bind capacities that should be better use. now, for, for the support to what extent could these leaks effect nato's intelligence sharing mechanisms when it comes to our deliveries? for example, we are ready very transparent in our western democracy. in germany for example, our arms are published on the internet. and that's it. you can

see we are already, it's erin because we are democracy isn't we are accountable to our city in so far. i don't see any additional information or nation by it just. however, in so far as the kitchen lights might be it right now, let's make a little bit about the war in ukraine. from your perspective, what a factor could this information have on the, on the war there? both of these documents for several weeks would. so as most of the information that has been need is already out stated. maybe some planning has to be adjusted to new situation. i don't see any major effects. this information is

consuming the strategy, you green and in the school. however, all these information is already by ration channels for this information and for propaganda. that's why all the people believe documents must know that not only the information is subject of propaganda, but they made themselves 2 actors who are russian purposes is and that's german opposition? c, d u c s u low maker tomasetti behind. thanks for joining us on the w and here in germany, government plans to partially legalize cannabis are taking shape. health minister car lauterbach says possessing and growing small amounts of cannabis for private use will be allowed if parliament passes the proposals distribution will be handled
