firing story about survival, homa to get the tennis, i was the only one what lies and music in nazi germany, watch now on youtube, d. w documentary. ah ah ah, this is dw news live from berlin, china plans a no fly zone. north of taiwan. tensions are high after recent chinese military drills in the region. we'll hear from our correspondent in taipei, also on the program. joe biden arrives in dublin after a visit to belfast to mark 25 years of peace in northern ireland.

ah, on pablo foliage, welcome to the program. china is planning to close air space north of taiwan later this week, as beijing turns of the heat on its neighbor. taiwan says, china has notified it that a no fly zone will be imposed for half an hour. on april 16th. china has ended 3 days of military drills around taiwan following a trip to the u. s. by the islands president, sighing when chinese president shing ping has raised the stakes by calling on china's military to train for quote, actual combat. well, earlier i asked our correspondent william yang. what taiwanese defense officials are saying about the no fly zone. so the only thing that they have 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 great zone tactic. aging has poured out of its tool box to basically show type pay and 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 a potential blockade around taiwan. because as we know, this is a very tricky spot that also i think coincides with tie one's air defense identification zone in the north end of 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 and sir commons style mil 3 exercise started on saturday has ended on monday, but the, their 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, is just showcasing again that china is potentially going to start increasing the

frequency of this kind of military activities in to try to show in warren 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 taiwan trade restrictions on chinese products. so tell us a little bit about the reaction from taiwan. so taiwan, 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 sure the time one farmers interest is not going to be infringed or a 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 china is intentionally timing. there's 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 is frustration about time. when's meeting with us healthy? kevin mccarthy last week in california, and i think paging again, it's showing the wide range of tools and its responses that it has on its hands and its just a warning type pay. they have to be very careful about the next move that they are

going to make leading into the next election. thanks, william d, w. william young in, ty pay us president joe biden is in the republic of ireland after a trip to northern ireland to mark the 25th anniversary of the good friday agreement . the deal largely ended decades of sectarian violence in northern knowledge. biden urged the government there to break a political deadlock in order to thwart what he described as enemies of peace. it was a trip that was over in a flash, joe biden popped into belfast for less than a day and met the british. prime minister, richie su, knock the occasion 25 years of peace in northern ireland 25 years ago. this week, the landmark profess good friday grew side and it wasn't easy. and there are 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. the agreement ended 3 decades of bloodshed between mainly catholic nationalists, who opposed british rule in northern ireland and mainly protestant unionists who supported it. thousands were killed in bombings and other attacks. under the u. s. borough could agreement paramilitary groups laid down their arms direct u. k. rule was brought to an end and a power sharing government was set up in northern ireland. instead. the piece has been a lasting success, but the government collapsed a year ago in a row of a trade rules following breck says, some hope that biden's visit will jolt local politicians into action open. it might give them a check to say, right, i'm only asking you to get back here and actually we're, we're being paid through enrollment convey because at the minute the company's trotter on itself, careful not to have a step. biden said he hoped the parties would return to the negotiating table so

that government could resume that he hinted, could be the precursor to more american investments. the u. s. president is now on the 2nd leg of his trip in the republic of ireland, where he will address the dublin parliament biden, who is fiercely proud of his irish heritage, will also visit his 2 ancestral home towns. well d, w correspondent, rosie birch art told me more about what joe biden had to say in belfast. will present biden's spend a lot of that speech really talking about the gains if the good friday agreement that is this landmark piece a chord from 1998 that put an end to decades of sectarian conflict and violence here in northern ireland that claimed thousands of lives and everybody i've spoken to here in belfast no matter what site of this really just divide they fall on is said that the good friday agreement is something which should be celebrated and

that there were people alive here in northern ireland that may not have been otherwise, had that deadly violence continued. so biden really paying tribute to those. he said that have been working to maintain that peace. he said peace was not inevitable. and of course he talked a lot about prosperity in northern ireland as well. he talked about potential for investment in the reach, and he talked about unleashing potential. this visit, however, is seen as somewhat bitter sweet because despite the fact that peace has endured across this quarter century, some of the institutions which are laid out in the good friday agreement, the belfast good friday agreement. well, they're simply not functioning properly and that is down to a political stalemate. here in belfast, rosie birch out there in belfast. let's take a look at some of the other stories making headlines around the world. germany's health minister callout up aha's outline plans to partially legalize cannabis possessing and growing small amounts of marijuana would be allowed for private use

if parliament backs the measures to sail of cannabis would be restricted during a 5 year testifies. serious foreign minister pfizer mac dud is in saudi arabia. on the 1st visit by a senior day diplomat from damascus in more than 10 years. saudi arabia's hosting talks about syria returning to the arab league. its membership was suspended when president bashar al assad crackdown on protests. ukraine has rejected russian claims to have captured more than 80 percent of the eastern city of back mount. keith says its forces control considerably more than 20 percent. the head of russia's wagner, merson regroup, says his fighters are advancing. federal agents in the u. s. are investigating higher classified intelligence documents surfaced on social media. the material includes information about the war in ukraine, including that western special forces may be operating there. the paper is also

contained sensitive data on key u. s. allies of the upper house of russia's parliament has approved a new law making it harder to avoid being called up to fight in ukraine. under the new bill. summons for military service will be sent via an official online portal. anyone failing to report will be banned from leaving the country and face a number of other restrictions, such as on driving. well, d, w correspondents, your re, re chateau has been reporting from reagan since russia closed down t w's moscow bureau. he told me why this new law has come in while his law was discussed 4 years ago, which means that the need was already there earlier. many young men in draft age did everything they could to avoid being drafted by the military, off the all draft car to was only valid if it was handed over in person. as

a result, many young men in russia simply lived somewhere else and not at the place with the official address that they were registered and where the draft caught was delivered . the police didn't look for the young man, very careful either. and it was a kind of unwritten law between the state and the, the citizens which now might not work anymore because of the electronic conscription. all this delivered online and in different and tentative ways. this is new due to the change flow your eat. how does this all fit into the wider strategy of russia's war effort? so look after a year when russia is preparing the whole of society with a long war, the army ultimately needs more soldiers. and apparently many's conscripts will later be offered contracts with the regular professional army in order to increase the number also, just at the front of the kremlin, sat that any conscript could sign such a contract. and the russian minister of defense proposed reportedly to allow

conscripts to participate in so called peacekeeping missions. just a reminder, the boy, ukraine is not called a war in russia, but a special military duration. so from the point of view of rational propaganda, it's kind of a peacekeeping mission, at least that's what the russian media tell the people, every room you're in. could this possibly and demonstrate will say waning support for the war. if recruitment measures like this have to be resorted to well, i think the russians enthusiasm for general military service has been waiting for years or so. this is not new. what might been used. the shock russians faced with this change or in the law, a for many, this is the kind of a hidden mobilization we'll see in the near future whether this is the case. but the fact is that, that russia is effectively closing the board. us, at least for men of draft age, they're not allowed to leave the country anymore. and of course, this shock can lead to waning support for president putin. it's dangerous for him

given next year, the russians will elect and you president. now there have been some lawmakers who've complained of that secrecy surrounding this law and that they haven't been given enough time to study it. what do you make of all that you're well, there are media reports indeed that this rush came from the department of defense. and apparently that will also instructions for the russian media on how the change to law should quickly be explained to the russians in a positive way. because of course, not only the members of parliament but that the whole country was. busy totally surprised by it. and some experts assume that the timing has to do with the announced counter offensive by the ukrainians. and according to the motto, if we want to, we can mobilize millions of men in no time at all. so it was maybe a kind well it is a kind of signal, a warning to ukraine, not to start the counter offensive. thanks. jerry d w's rieger bureau chief,
