hello, i'm terry martin. thanks for joining us. russian president vladimir, put in a north korean leader, kim shotwell, and have signed a strategic partnership agreement in killing young routine is making his 1st state visit to north korea. in 24 years, the russian president has been seeking to boost diplomatic ties and further bolster aid for his war in ukraine. north korea is already a major supplier that munition for that war. gym is gain to cultivate russia as an ally and strength of the united front against washington. vladimir putin echoed kens ames, as he voiced his appreciation of north korea's support. somebody did that, so it's like, what's a good we very much appreciate the dpr case consistent and permanent support of russian policy including and ukrainian issue do not somebody will also struggle

against the hedge him on a computer or at least policy posts for decades by the united states and the satellites system new relation to the russian federation systems. we noticed that the phoenix, affinity, hook machine, your next 50 years east asia correspond to james change or is it in? ty pay following pertains visit to north korea. james, what do we know about this pact between russia and north korea? yeah, that's right. sorry, you know, let me see we're, we're still waiting for more details about the strategic partnership to be made clear. what we do know is that this, this agreement was signed off to the attorney to spoke for almost 2 hours, one on one today in showing. yeah. and then what we can expect to come from this partnership is a more deep and alliance between these 2 countries. and likely to see really the 2 of them falling behind each other on those key to your political issues um, facing the 2 countries result enjoying earlier in the day,

expressing unconditional supports for russia's invasion of ukraine and russia's policies in europe. they're all more questions about whether this strategic strategic partnership will extend to the economic and military funds and what that would look like in practical times. remember, north career is on the un sanctions and you in resolutions which limits the amounts of support, whether that's a energy importance that can be provided to the country. and there's a question about whether rusher is simply going to become a candidate. and it's approach to um, supporting north korea, but one thing we can look to look to expect more of is, is frequent visits. and meetings between these 2 need is we understand that piece. and in this meeting with kim join today expressed a hope that kim would visit most go on the next meeting would take place in the russian capital. kind of support says north korea provided so far for russia's war against ukraine. james,

and what more is putting hoping for absolutely, well us and south korean officials have been as sign a assessed by kind of making the alarm bells ring in the, in the lead on to this meeting. saying that so north korea has been providing russia with millions of munitions for its own going invasion all view crane that making k really trying to make k that north korean weapons or in the sense killing ukrainians on the battlefield in ukraine. those weapons transfers. awesome. thank of course, which most go i'm feeling young. both deny. but one of the bigger question marks really oh, this summit is what peeling young is going to receive in return for that support. and that's uh, the us to legends is providing a to most go, whether that's going to come in the form of more oil exports to north korea from brush. or we understand that those or like sports from russia already taking place

. but whether they are going to exceed the restrictions placed over human resolutions on north korea. and of course crucially, whether that support is going to extend to military and technological and expertise, really, when it comes to the spice satellite programs and also north cruise watkins programs to to china. james, it is north korea is most important partner it shares a long border with north korea. how does trying to view the surgeon, cooperation between russia and north korea? well, the china has previously express concern when peeling young is engaging in move bullets heil behaviors. remember, it's annoying china's interest to see an escalation on the korean peninsula because of, as you just mentioned on very long border, it shows with north korea that has been some discussion. well, so in the, in the, the, the surroundings invest me think about what the paging would be concerned about losing

some degree of influence, sort of a feeling young because of russia, a deepening its ties with north korea. but we have seen a more, i'm a positive note, struck in the, the official response from china. a statement from china is for our ministry overnight saying that welcome to russia through cement and grow ties with countries that they have a traditional friendship with. james, thank you. very much east asia correspondent james traitor. sketch you up on some other stories making headlines around the world today. heavy rainfall is triggered, widespread flooding in bangladesh. the incessant rains cause the storm a river near bangladesh is northeastern border to rise, inundating the surrounding areas. local officials say some 37000 people are stranded in rural areas. the fire at the military, i munition depot in chads capital into media has triggered a series of explosions. government officials say at least one person has been

killed and several wounded. president has promised an investigation into the fire us president obama has announced a new program to provide a path to citizenship for half a 1000000 migrants who were married to us citizens and had been in the country for more than a decade earlier this month. the binding ministration cracked down on the asylum seekers at the southern border with mexico of israel's army has approved plans for a possible offensive into southern lebanon. rationing up tensions between israel and the ran back as belong militia. the is really for administer, threatened to destroy hezbollah, if it comes to an old war. his statement came after his blot entered it could attack the southern, the rather the northern is really ports of the of haifa. the militants released drone images, which they say show areas around the city is really army released this board age,

which they say shows airstrikes against several hezbollah targets in southern lebanon. cost is between israeli army and has the law have occurred nearly every day since the start the cause of war. in october earlier i started jerusalem, correspond to rebecca river is about the likelihood of such a cross border offensive by the israeli army as well. just how likely is almost impossible to say we've complete certain t, terry, but the problem be, let's see, is rising every day as we see the rhetoric and threats from both sides also rising . and now we see this a plan by the idea of saying that it has been green lights. now that follows visits by both prime minister benjamin netanyahu and defense me to see you of golan who to the north and recent weeks. and both have said to the, to the idea of soldiers up there to be prepared that they, you know, i certainly preparing, i'm willing to launch a, a great their full,

a full on conflict with lebanon. we've hezbollah in southern lebanon, should they deem it necessary? and as you mentioned there in your lead, in these images, purportedly showing a has but a drawing that is common and captured of several sites in northern level known that they potentially then would threaten to attack about strong then returning. if it is indeed true to southern 11 on and then they may have to release the footages. it's certainly a threat from that side. and now we're seeing, you know, great to ramping up with rhetoric from the israeli side as well. now, there has been a board of disputes between israel and levon on for many years, and i'm also talk, stay in the us envoy has been trying to broker a deal between the 2 sides for, for some time. now we are seeing that those as we see this threat since october 7, these needs 80 skirmishes escalate. it's certainly looking like a full blown conflict could be very possible. certainly i was up in the northern

part of israel recently speaking to residents of many of whom 70000 has been evacuated from that northern border region. and they said that they wouldn't return home, or some of the ones that i spoke to said that they would wouldn't return home unless they was an all out conflict with has led to push it back further away from the boat or that they simply wouldn't feel safe, even if they was a political solution, attentions in the region are extremely high. many are worried about conflagration consuming the middle east. what could help de escalate tensions between israel and levon on at this point, or whether it's a diplomatic diplomatic efforts ongoing. certainly since the early days of october, when things kicked off on the 8th of october with his blah responding to the they with the war and guns are saying that they were going to do what they could to tie off is resources. yeah, it results is rather in the north. so we've been seeing diplomatic efforts to try

to stop the spreading in to a why to complaints, you know, with the us a bringing warships into the mediterranean to try to, to prevent anything from sparking spilling over. but those diplomatic efforts haven't reached any final conclusion of the, the us and boy that i mentioned before, i must hook staying. he was recently just this week in is round talking with leaders here trying to figure out ways that that could be some kind of political solution. he says a political solution solution is definitely possible. he's now in 11 on. he's been speaking the, we'd latest from the 11, these governments trying to work out how best they could come to this political solution. but so far we haven't seen any for it says that labor that has been successful. we certainly haven't seen a downplaying or a coming down of tensions in that region. in fact, quite the opposite. so the received wisdom of people you speak to here is it's not a matter of is, but a matter of when terry reckon thank you very much. the,
