u. k and the e use single market for goods. and so the role of a u law, though diminished won't disappear entirely. there may be a deal breaker for northern ireland democratic unionists and the hard core of pro bricks it m p 's and the conservative party, both of whom the prime minister appealed to when he addressed parliament later he does what many fed could not be done. removing thousands of pages of a law and making permanent legally binding changes to the protocol treaty itself. the prime minister has confirmed that a vote will take place inside the house of commons before this new deal can become a law. there's no chance of losing it. he's already been promised the support of the opposition labor party. what mister sooner will hope to avoid, however, is for yet another new divide to form inside the conservative party of the breaks, it breaks it was supposed to have been done at the end of 2020. in truth, it was never going to be done until the problem of northern ireland was done. the u . k and e. u leaders are hoping it f

also said ukraine is the e u, the e. u is ukraine. nice word salad, which doesn't seem to mean much. wenzel in these appetite is for nothing less than the meat and potatoes of e u integration u. s. state secretary antony blink, and has cancelled his upcoming trip to china. well, that's off to a huge chinese balloon which page and called a weather surveillance aircraft was 1st spotted floating near the aleutian islands and then again st. hovering, a nucleus science in the us state of montana. the american state department is referred to. the incident is a violation of its sovereignty. we have noted the people's republic of china statement of regret, but the presence of this balloon in our air space is a clear violation of our sovereignty as well as international law. and is an acceptable that this has occurred. the u. s. insists the and craft is a surveillance balloon, despite china saying it. so whether device which straight of course, painting on it that it regrets the unintended entry of its sackcloth into american as space. the airs

we could be see some of the contestation taken out the protocol because ease of a reset to u. k. e u relations post breaks it. yeah, well, i mean, i wanted to talk to you about the reaction in northern ireland. i mean, from the people there from businesses, there is what do you think that's going to be working at the moment that there's a lot of um, documents around people are going through the details. i think they've been of a cautious welcome to the fact that the you can, the you have reached agreement, try resolve the issues, but equally, i think they want time to actually digest the detail and really go through what the documents are saying there. i think amongst the political parties, i think, i think equally a lot of those will say, i hate good that this resolution of the issues here. but i think one, the big concerns is whether the reaction of the democratic unit party, those who are opposed to the protocol, will be one which accepts there's some bins, a decent agreement reached here. and that will then leave and go back into a government involvement. and the jury's out on

u. k, and e. u leaders of finalized a new deal for northern adams post briggs, trading arrangements, both sides of hail that as mocking a fresh start. the relations between britain and europe, john hull has more it's not often in u. k. e u relations that optimism wins the day. so this was a rare moment, a smile that said a deal had been done. today's agreement delivers smooth, flowing trade within the whole united kingdom, protects northern islands place and our union and safeguards sovereignty for the people of northern ireland. the use chief executive hailed a new honesty in the relationship and spoke of her pride in the so named winds of framework. updating the original northern ireland protocol that governs post breaks in trade between the u. k. and the i you, this new frame that will allow us to begin a new chapter. it provides for long lasting solutions that both of us a confident will work for all people and businesses in northern ireland. the deal provides for smooth trade between the u. k.

but definitely the e. u from a british point of view um has been very nice to richie sooner and there was definitely a reason for him to smile. jackie are as big as just said lots of concessions there from b e u side. how much? how far did b e, you go to make this deal go through? well, i think when we look at this, what they've tried to do is just a kate, the british government, in the sense of these, these red and green lanes. this might sound like my new shy for a province northern ireland of less than 2000000 people. well, why is this such a big deal? but this is really all about the philosophy of keeping that border on the island of ireland. open between the republic of ireland that remains within the european union and northern ireland, which is big it saying wants to remain as close to the united kingdom in a regulatory fashion as possible. bearing in mind the good friday agreement, which prevented the truck, the troubles, you know, that the violence was taking place in the ninety's and earlier. and t

u. k. then find it very basic trade agreement with b, e. u which kept it out of the single market and the customer's union. as a consequence, you had to put you controls in terms of customers and in terms of regulate controls for access to the single market on goods moving from great britain to northern ireland. and that obviously brought about a high level of concern or a political front. but also to do, since i did to move goods from great britain into not, nor died at lee began to see trade friction there. but we see now was okay, yeah, no, david, you're all over this topic. i mean, you know what, details that we hear today about the steel and what kind of impact do you think it's going to have? as you said at the top there, it says you got a green lane for goods moving from great printed no thought and staying in northern ireland. you seems to be content with that. but if the goods going from great britain into long island and they're going on into the e market, then they will be subject to full checks, controls as they would be if they

but the e u. ports on the north and bolt exceeds are insufficient for that. and there aren't enough storage facilities for ukrainian grain, much like here in gdansk. so e u markets are facing increasing pressure as a result of the war in ukraine. and or that wraps up our shoulder for more check out our website at d. w dot com slash was over in berlin. thanks for watching. a very successful ah, with with these glasses could take the world by storm, by making distinct communication, feel more natural and giggles. founders are convinced they're developing the technology required of for a, our glasses to get their breakthrough. the germans start up one step ahead of the i t i made in germany. in 30 minutes on d, w. ah, with what our sports all about in winning fighting scoring. we say they're about never giving up the most exciting sport stories about people, their passion and their dr. sports life every weekend on d w. o. many of them would. i am alana pianos kaya me. yeah. i am running for president of the republic of beller, o. c o b, b o. john den dar searches

and now the e. u has promised to continue its support for ukraine by hitting russia with a fresh wave of sanctions who, when it comes to e e. e membership, it looks like president the landscape would just have to wait. did rush as president vladimir putin is in vulgar grad, formerly known as stalingrad, is attending celebrations. to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the soviet victory over german forces at the battle of stalingrad boots began with laying a wreath at the memorial complex to the fallen red army soldiers. he later spoke as an event where he criticized germany for helping to arm ukraine. he said, russia is once again threatened by germany. this is his latest attempt to compare russia's war against ukraine to the soviet victory over nazi germany in world war 2 . at your school. i had springer, russia analyst concept in the egg or the in vilnius constantly. what did you make of put in speech there? well, i mean, there's nothing much to make, frankly speaking if you watch pollutants her la

but of course, the sanctions need to be agreed upon by the e. u. member states and it, they would be an hours and a meeting of the e. u. member states, not at a meeting between the commission and keith. but here's bellinger their report from care. thank you much years and my colleague alexander phenomena has more on the reaction and brussels to events and cleave. i think there is broad support for what was a lot of fun. the lion had to say in keith and for the visit itself and the decision to hold those talks in an active warrant zone was meant to demonstrate to we are not afraid to come. we are there for you and to the talks today. the goal of them was to encourage ukraine to continue with important reforms and also to acknowledge what has been done so far. because of course, we have to remind ourselves that ukraine is a country at war, defending their territory. and there are people against russia's aggression. and at the same time, the government is working on a plan to implement the political and economic reforms. now the european parliament als

u. k and e. u leaders are hoping it finally has been jonah, how al jazeera london. okay, well he is how the so called northern on and protocol has changed. when the u. k, left the e u, a customs border was drawn between northern arden and the rest of the united kingdom, which and get the unionists. now on to the ne, wins of framework goods will be separated into a green lane for goods traveling to northern ireland and a red lane for goods moving into the you or a challenge has more in this this deal, if it is going to stick, has to satisfy 2 key political constituencies. one of them is wrecks at hard liners within the conservative party, but perhaps more importantly than them. it also has to satisfy the democratic unionist party here in northern ireland. both of these groups have been fiercely critical of the northern ireland protocol. it has taken months to get to this point on we will not be rushed will not be pushed into a hasty decision. we want to make the right decision. now until the d u. p. are satisfied, then the deal is not a go. and until do you pay a sat

u. k. government and e u. a welding together, a new deal edge innovator makes equipment for the recycling sector for our business. the crew to haul is absolutely essential. it needs to be kept. the protocol has allowed companies like edge innovate to weasely trade both with the rest of the u. k. and with ireland and the e u. export and companies really need that all that, that access to both those markets. anything else is going to be a normal goal in terms of what our government is going to do on the northern economy. but not everyone here is so enthusiastic about it. northern ireland eunice hate the protocol for them, it unacceptably weakened the bonds chaining northern islands to the rest of the u. k. last february, the democratic unionist party collapsed northern on and power sharing government in protest with serious consequences for things like health and education. the u. k government says the protocol treats goods coming to northern on and from the u. k. as if they were coming to another country. it wa

and now the e. u has promised to continue its support for ukraine by hitting russia with a fresh wave of sanctions. who, when it comes to e. u membership, looks like president lensky would just have to wasted bocce. and for all that i am now joined by journalist alessandra. she's the editor in chief of your a might on press and joins us now from the korean capital. keith, good to see you. earlier. this is a historic summit. what did the ukrainian people think about more than a dozen e u officials visiting keith? well, ukrainians are demonstrating record high support for you membership and more than 86 percent of the credits for the countries session tonight or even more supportive session today if you and union union. so we are very happy about the summit of seeking listen cubit, definitely sounds a strong signal that you is together with you is supporting us. as a commissioner, president of underlines words today that the future of use being decided in ukraine today. they really sounds of their, an u

the roller russian businessman and even ordinary russian citizens living in the u. e is very noticeable in all areas in which they are active. i can say, based on my extensive experience in the public security system that the russian diaspora is one of the best diasporas. it's representatives a wonderful well manage and hard working people in there. so as hinting phase every 2 years and above me with i, if i for showcasing live off you weaponry, even with live demonstrations, roses put it in as well than 200 examples of advanced ons and other equipment including the tornado. s a multiple mulch rocket system as well as a new helicopter russian deputy prime minister dentist man to the roof is attending the event in april to the strengthening since digitize between moscow and the u. e . that it's on the which is that we are traditional. i, dex participants, and this year is no exception. we expect that the products presented will be in demand from both traditional and new customers. we are developing strategic cooperation with the emirates in the fields of politics, econ

u. s. has a free trade agreement, which does not include the e u. so the concerns here, i think, are basically the parties are united on the basic by the administration proposals. the legislation, which is by american invest american employ american workers. and though there are obviously some who are concerned with broader u. s. e u relations. i think there's a great deal of bipartisan support for making the transition to electric vehicles produce as many jobs in the us, or at least in north america as possible. there was some surprise here that biden carried on some aspects of that protectionism that we saw during the trump administration. would you expect that, that kind of by 1st produce 1st in america that, that kind of policy idea will continue in the future? is there bipartisan support for this now and going forward? first of all, there should have been any says any surprise that mister barton was carrying on these policies because a significant chunk of the democratic party has been advocating it for years and years and years. and as to the

u. s. and e, u is likely, and it could be a way to make the grass greener on both sides. jayla cooper is our correspondent in washington. she joins me now for more. michelle, on both sides, seemed interested in a compromise. we just heard. what is it likely to look like? well, it certainly is nowhere near the middle, because one thing is for saw the ira a, as it's called, the inflation reduction and act which was billed by joe biden as a way to build future economies. here in the united states, create future proof jobs that will not be changed, no legal changes. so any compromise can only be in the small print, and that's why the french and german trade ministers are here. they want to shape that and what certainly on the horizon is that there potentially could be some exceptions for the so crucial auto industry when it comes to least a cause here in the united states. there may be some exceptions. also, when it comes to manufacturing of battery is needed for green mobility in the future that is

it's c e o says the u. s. subsidies are enticing enough to consider expanding its business over there, rather than in the u. old woman amos restore us on her printers. this comes as a relief on some things in germany. take a long time or simply made difficult by bureaucracy, remarked less bureaucracy, lower energy prices, an abundance of well trained technical staff. some of the reasons european companies consider expanding or moving operations to the us, the subsidies might sway them to make the final push. that's why the german and french trade ministers are meeting with the biden administration. they're hoping to convince washington to include european companies in the inflation reduction act. then we have to explain to the americans that part of the inflation reduction act aren't compatible with will trade organization rules. and there are starting points to improve on that situation. the european commission announced its own green deal industrial plan, but it may not be enough for european subsidy prog

and with this agreement, even though the u. e. u has made concessions, there's still some role for you institutions. i'm wondering because how we got to to day, i mean, you and i, we've talked countless times over the years about the northern ireland dilemma, the northern ireland protocol of theresa may tried to sob as she couldn't. boards, johnson could not live trust didn't stay in office long enough to try. so we've had 3 prime ministers and nothing. and now we have a new prime minister and all of a sudden it's almost, it looked like a love fest to day with she neck. and ursula plunder lion. i mean, how did, how did the everything changed so dramatically? so i think that both sides really wanted to get an agreement the you so that there were really big problems in northern ireland. i think they recognize that they speak to people you politicians went over to northern ireland. i speak to people. and so the difficulty set some businesses, for example, have and importing produce from mainland u. k. and that for, for businesses. but

but of course, the sanctions need to be agreed upon by the e. u. member states and it, they would be an hours and a meeting of the e. u. member states, not at a meeting between the commission and keith. but here's belinda, their report from care. thank you much. yes. let's go straight to brussels. where are brussels beer jefferson phenomena is standing by, alexander was up on the line, laid out, the commission's commitment to continue helping ukraine, or what was the reaction and brussels there. i think there is, for support for what was a le funder lion, had to say in keith and for the visit itself. and the decision to hold those talks in an active wars zone and was meant to demonstrate to we are not afraid to come. we are there for you and to the talks today. the goal of them was to encourage ukraine to continue with important reforms and also to acknowledge what has been done so far. because of course, we have to remind ourselves that ukraine is a country at war, defending their territory and to their people against russia's aggression. and at th
