problem really as welcome to the program. so baki is prime minister robert vito is reportedly in a stable condition after undergoing surgery for gunshot wounds. feet, so at was shot multiple times in an assassination attempt. after leaving a government meeting. slovakia as presidents has called it a brutal and reckless attack of their national leaders, have condemned. the shooting suspect was arrested at the c. 5 shots ring out and the government is tackled just seconds later, the prime minister is carried by the arms to a car and rushed away. the the security personnel stayed behind, pinning the suspect to the ground speed. so supporters look on and for it sounded like canon buyer to me, i was shocked. what's going on?

and as i saw him fall, i realized that this probably wasn't a joke to the interior ministry. so the attack was likely politically motivated and brought his love of this. the walk in president condemned the shooting. central carolina. i am shocked. we are all shocked by the terrible integration and threatened to withdraw support for ukraine and its defense against russian. yeah, you need victoria below is a reporter for these. the vacuum tv news channel are t vs. you gave me this update. so what do we know now that the condition of them is different? so should be civilized by now if you chose authoration and as well that. so what do we know from our end? the man to minister domestic data, but he also said that mr. pico is no longer in danger. so apparently he got wonderful let and his upcoming all one and uh the other uh and the other one had

a joint condition uh was critical or his operation had been going on uh for 3 and half hours. so its been really a life threatening earlier. i already said the seed, so was in life threatening conditions, but now it should be stopped last. alright, slovak is interior minister says it's an, an assassination attempt. and so what do we know about that search? uh, 1st of all, we have to say that the probably the attacker was not part of the editors organization. he wasn't alone or in this way. they will. so we do a release a couple of hours ago where the attacker said that he disagreed with the government . well this is this, the video was made a couple of weeks ago. this all is the result of the slack here i've been very polarized since basically september, when we had um, filed them in 3 elections here. even before

a doing the campaign. basically there are 2 groups of people, liberal and nationalists, whether it be attacked, who was mentally healthy or not. they will be released by that investigation, interior minister, and also the minister of defense where part of the press conference. as you said, they tried to calm down the motions because there was another press conference before health in the building of parliament. and many coalition leaders literally emotional and they pointed to the authorization of the liberal media and, and basically made targets out of them. so it's a little tiresome and it's very heat is done by the society rubber feats. so is seen as a polarizing politician. tell us why is he being so controversial? yes, so as you said in the beginning, he is populous. he's the was a bar to the matter, began on the left and has moved increasingly to the right. basically. now we can

whole call him a nationalist. his position has been changing really for a long time. he has sometimes i untie you rhetoric um sometimes he is um talking a lot about um not sending a reference a to ukraine anymore. he also has the anti eligibility to you, arrives over 3 weeks, so its very controversial, many label him even for us and he didn't denies that himself. but it's been very many, many topics. uh, he was very, she had very controversial uh, sayings and the recently also he had very sharpened in the rest of the rhetoric at the words, you'll notice the rest of saying that the he was pointed to them like and telling them the rats are big. so it's a very, very of his part of the session for sure. that was during this victoria fell over

in brought a slab. so now ukraine's president of a lot of years the landscape has canceled all of this upcoming trips. as russia intensifies, the tax on the eastern region of cod keeps, the fresh defensive began last week. it is the most significant border incursion since the war began to residence. reluctantly, leaving bo chance as fighting intensifies many arrive on the accusation point on foot. it's become hotter to drive out of the city with damaged roads and fighting on some straits with the most that we are here evacuating people's been helping everyone situation have a chance goes extremely difficult. why up was the soon of the enemy is holding decisions on the streets, so please evacuate where you were helping everyone where seemed the working on the spot. and i mean, together we were waiting on delivery to you. great info. can you nearly 8000 people

have been evacuated since friday? ukraine is trying to hold the line. brushes defense ministry claims to have captured a handful of villages. ukrainian, president below them is the landscape. everything must be done to ensure that the russian offensive does not succeed sort of gives you know how she of region borders . defense continues in the areas near the border and the city and for chance. over the course of the day, let's say our defense and security forces managed to possibly stabilize the situation or was the, the occupier who entered into a hot heat engine light just being destroyed. with all available means, see mazda possible modem issue. the town of ocean skids around 75 kilometers from hockey. ukraine speaking, la just sushi. keeps is rushes, assault does not present an imminent threat to the city,

which is high. and 1300000 people rush as president inside vladimir putin has arrived in beijing. he's due to hold talks with china's shooting, paying the students 1st foreign trips since he was re elected for another 6 year term in march, with 2 liters have described there by law for relations as a no limits partnership. here's a look at how russia china relations have changed in recent years. of last month's chinese president shooting ping made russia his 1st overseas trip up to securing a 3rd as the most go, a symbolic choice of to use a pundum akira isolation voting. now, just to recap to his face, the new gratian is, russian president, vladimir putin is returning beyond making badging the 1st 4 and trip of his time. those countries are interested in projecting unity in the face of what they say is a global order dominated by the united states. that when russia's foreign minister

such a life rove was engaging last month, he hailed what must go in badging corners and no limits upon ship is yours. no more than once, alida is president, putin and president changing, paying like have stressed at the determination of russia and china to counter attempts to slow down the formation of a multi polar world to slow down the long overdue processes of democratization and justice, which is obviously is pretty good linguist, as they celebrate 75 years of different logic size, china is very much the senior partner, the 2 sides of decent military exchange. it seems piercing, launched his invasion of ukraine more than 2 years ago. and even more unfortunately, some must go trade ties between the 2 balloons. providing russia an economic lifeline. a mid sweeping international sanctions might be the response west committee does have when she attends, providing must go with support which supports invasion. you may get a, some have,

even though she to ring in boots it, we called on china to use all its influence on russia, to end russia's will of aggression against ukraine. but china's lead just as long as she brushed off the criticism and ignore the request. one of those fine movie you, we oppose using the ukraine crisis, the cost, blame me, a 3rd country. and inside a new cold war sun don't see much dry and solar you, susan king and brought him if you're saying shared just staying through us global leadership. so with most go increasingly isolated, diplomatically under the economy, you lost the prop top by badging both know that no limits. partnership is no longer one between equals journalist 5. you can crash them or is it in beijing? i asked them why don't let them are approved and wants to get out of this state faces? yeah, that's really the crucial question. and i mean, we felt that both sides emphasized they are no limits partnership. but actually,

if you look into the agenda of each site, then it's quite different. so putting definitely um once or needs the chinese economy to compensate to counterbalance west and thanks, thanks. and so he has a key, a goal of, you know, getting a gas, an oil deal. it's done also getting more access to the chinese financial market. and so under ex, cheap for a seating thing for the chinese side, i think it's a little bit more delicate. he has to strike a balancing act. so at the one hand, yes, china, also a benefit slot to be from cheap energy supply from restaurant really discount prices and also china, you know, appreciates the political friendship. i mean it to count to the western world order . but on the other hand, a seating thing doesn't have one to, you know, risk getting alienated any further from the west, especially towards europe. so i think there are some issues where he feels uncomfortable in one, for example, is that uh, pull team continuously um used um, you know, bubbly and nuclear threats. i think that is something that

a seating thing has a has really condemned to also in a public way. so i think there's also some critical issues here. so from the chinese side, i think they have to be a little bit more cautious to uh, yeah. how, how loyal they want to present themselves towards russia. so i'll be on western leaders have called on china to use inside its influence on russia to end the war in ukraine and watched by james position. so a badging claims that is neutral in this conflict, and it's not a potty end as well. and also claim for pete repeated the that it does not send any weapons. and actually that no major power has actually accused a badging of directly sending weapons. but the issue is that, you know, if you look at the custom state of what a china x you deliver as to what the rest of them, there's a lot of good use products. so i'm good that could be used in a simple way, but also in a military way. um, we talk about the pots for drones, um,

micro seconds or is it cetera also a lot of machine to it. so i think the for that, as china has received a lot of criticism by the you, but also by japan and the u. s. and a china has brushed off of those accusations and basically says that we are a peace loving nation. so we want to also help negotiate a piece, but as very much so under the terms that also russia once. so for example, regarding the pilot plan, a peace conference in switzerland. china has not officially endorsed it and has not, you know, set or confirmed by that they will send a high ranking delegation to that. but it has rather set that russia needs to be on the table to end of the web. when vladimir 14 came to paging, he gave an interview to sit and watch with the state and use agency of china and set the t endorses at china as a piece plants. so i think they are very much aligned on that issue. sternness ivy and crouched more embracing. they're all right,
