area against all threats from all directions. natasha butler reporting for us from the nato summit. all pretty predictable, sort of stuff. i would say that came out of what you can still the biggest thing that. but as we were discussing before, there is almost a, a fixation, somewhat on, on, on china, and to a degree rusher as well at the moment. yes, i was a lot that in terms of the mood, i thought it was interesting. the n thornton but the head of nato began his press conference by saying he quoted, for his johnson the u. k. prime minister saying that it feels a bit like the 1st day back in school when me talk with old friends and the old faces. and i think what he's referring to is the fact that joe biden, the u. s. president, is here in brussel for his 1st nato summit. and the joy fathers made it very clear that the washington is re committing to nato off to those years. under donald trump

and donald trump, trump, who had an extremely strange relationship with me. so i think what it is clear, the thought, and by the saying, is that most allies work stream the, please does it, it seems they will now have this more predictable relationship with united states. but then not to talk about, he talks about russia, how russia remains. what are the main threat for nato allies, concerns? of course, a rushes continued military build up on the border with ukraine. human rights, the arrest and tension of alexi and involve me, the opposition lead. all those things were discussed here today, still to back thing to relations between moscow, nato lowest level since the cold war. and then as you say, this real focus on china, that is something that joe biden really pushed for the us president wanted nato allies to give more support for washington's push for much tougher position on beijing seen as a major economic and strategic challenge thought back saying that nato is regarding

china in that way, something over 1st concerns. so for, for example, human rights in china and also it's growing nuclear also and then kind of changed. that was also for the 1st time nathan, really put in climate change on the agenda and they're going to do things like make sure that they caught the military emissions. ok. natasha about law in brussels. thank you so much. the van just wrapping up what we heard from young, stolen, big, the head of the nato group. and now we've got now in the shower as senior political analysts to get into that a bit more. joining us from paradigm, i one there, is it going to say there is a risk? is there a risk of nato becoming almost too focused on china and russia? i only say that because it is a group which is supposed to be there to help each other out and be there for each other. but they seem singularly focused outside at the moment. or no,

i mean come out. i cannot overestimate that drama under sensitivity of the moment. i don't think we should be taking any. what do we just heard? likely this was a 100 percent reflection of what, why didn't came to europe to achieve that 100 percent? clearly, there isn't much of an opinion for the european allies clear today, and it says has gotten its way. and i think of course, remains to be seen what happens the next days or weeks or months to come in terms of the by didn't put in meetings in terms of how china react. but if this tone continues, i'm afraid. early 2000 twenties are looking more and more like early 19 fifties. there is a new cold war being manufactured. and this new cold war would have a huge,

huge dry medications for international security. because when natal starts talking in terms of stress in terms of adversary's, in terms of confronting authoritarian regimes in gina moscow. and when they start talking about more and more out of area operations, just when they are trying to wind down toward my grandson. this is not just trying to find a new role, a new mission for natal. this is reinventing reinvigorating the nature of the 1950s in a whole new new cold war rhetoric. and then you've got and you made the point that there will be this bite and putting me things so that i'm a potent sitting watching all of this and thinking hang on, we're supposed to talk about getting along better insulting things out and all you guys can say is that we're, you know, it's such a thresh and, and relations are at their worst since the cold war. it's hard to imagine vladimir putin being open to discussion. absolutely. i mean,

this is the thing. that's why i said we need to wait and to see because this could be the starting position, right. so nato is basically our main american president, with a very, very strong concern such behind him on confronting beijing on moscow on there, you know, filled up blank right there transactions, there. destabilizing actions in the 3rd, who are developing, what on civil rights apply. but is this, is this a starting position from which they want to engage moscow gene or this is a pre view of things to come. because i think the meeting with, with putting commodity is not what is really the most important. the most important is china listening and watching, biding, making pointed because put in, just to give you a little a little example, what russia economy is as big as the news economy. right?

russia today does not present the huge global challenge that china, those it is, china is new in this whole press conference is china. that there's new in this whole meeting and is china that's been brought about i as an observer who has been looking at this the last few months. i've been watching how the, how the u. k was resisting the pressure to, to bring and g 5 from china. i was looking at it that is joining the built on board initiative. the chinese bit on board initiatives. the europeans were playing ball with china, germans important guys from russia. so we've been seeing more and more of the kind of european engagements with b, g and moscow and federally what we've been seeing the last few days. and what we saw today is all your world when the united states insisting on maintaining american primacy around the world,

rejecting sharing some sort of by philosophy with china, let alone multiple oddity with china, russia, and others. and what we're seeing is a rhetoric that is why card or this is a dramatic moment in international relations. if the rhetoric is translated into strategies into policies and then into some cold politics, where the vision of russia, i am telling a camel and our viewers around the world are listening. this is a major turn around in international relations. and the shower is our senior political analyst with his thoughts from paris. thank you. in brussels and he's conference continued the head of nature. the secretary general of nato young suttonberg laying out what the countries of come up within their final communique. from the summit, the nato summit in brussel. let's move on to some of the news and reports of a possible radiation leak at a nuclear power plant in southern china are being dismissed by its operations. the

state run at china general nuclear power group says operations at the nuclear power station in going down province to meet safety rules and the surrounding environment is safe. the french company, e d. f that partly owns the station though, says it has been informed of an increase in rec, gases, that one react to one of its subsidiaries, which design the react had reportedly warned of an imminent radiological thresh. we've got nuclear engineer on the goodison, joining us now chief engineer fair winds, energy education in charleston, south carolina. great to have you with us. what's your take on what from the information that has been given and it's all conflicting information, isn't it? do you see a threat here? yeah, yeah, thank you for having me. i think you're absolutely right. it is conflicting information. i frankly, would believe the french from a thom has hundreds of reactor years of experience. and this is the 1st civil kind design in the world. so we have

a right to be concerned to be clear though, at this stage certain they were not talking about and just use the name focusing that because that's the most recent one, which comes to mind, you know, that was a nuclear meltdown after a quake into and it's unami very different, isn't it? no, this is not a cook ashima event. it's not a true noble event. what, what's happening? i have a little nuclear fuel use of nuclear fuel. this is, this is an example. then these are stack 12 feet high and they're wrapped in a metal wrapper. that metal wrapper in theory keeps all the nuclear radiation from this fuel from getting out. at least one. if not more of those though, she says metal sheet about a 2nd dime have cracked in the releasing radioactivity into the water inside the nuclear react. that it's a gas, it's called the xenon encrypt at noble gases. and they appear to be building up

inside that nuclear reactor. and some reports say they're also leaking out of the nuclear reaction. the right thing to do would be to shut the nuclear reactor down and, and look for the she said are leaking and replace them. and it does appear that the chinese want to do that right now. this might be a bit of attention, but can you hold that up for me again, i want to know more about that. you call that a piece of nuclear fuel. can you explain that to us a little more? well, this should be enriched uranium and it would weigh couple ounces. and these are stacked on top of the other 12 feet high and wrapped in a wrapper called the clad. and, and what's the a material called the circle light, which is a fancy,

exotic material. so each of these piles 12 feet high are then put into 10 by 10 bundles. and over a 100 of those bundles are put into the nuclear reactor. so there's thousands of these little pieces of nuclear fuel, all of which are releasing noble gases into that gap around that feel that surrounds them. at least one if not more of those, those metallic rappers are leaking for sure. and it's now in the reactor coolant and is building up inside the reactor coolant, right? i think everyone would agree on that. but then the issue is should it isn't leaking out beyond that? and some reports say it is. and of course, the chinese are saying it is not right. for me, someone calling you to say, hey, on a, you're on the television. one final question for you,

and this is perhaps more sort of geopolitical, but i just worry that with that mixed information, we're guessing that it can start to even if it's not, it can start to look like a cover up and trying to go to a lot of problems already with covering up issues, shall we say it's, you know, within the nuclear industry, there's not a lot of trust in, in the chinese nuclear program. they tend to make things look better than they really are. this reactor designers have numerous problems that compound and still have to be replaced in the next year or 2 because of cracking. and so nuclear engineers within the rest of the world are residents rather than to trust what comes out of out of china through information. i'm going to say i learned so much from our discussion and i'm sure of you as did it well as well. thank you

so much for your time. okay, thank you. now to americans on trial in japan have admitted they help to form a nissan chairman, carlos gordon, flea the country in 2019 michael taylor and his son peter were extradited from the u. s. and march and now faced up to 3 years in jail, go and had was being held on financial misconduct challenges when he escaped to lebanon. he is still wanted by the police in japan may and miles deposed, lay down sung su, cheese appeared in court, and her trial officially began. so she is charged with breach in coven 19 regulations, with breaking the telecom fact. and breaking import export route. 2 more charges are expected to be read out on tuesday. lawyers were allowed to meet her for 30. busy minutes before the trial started unsung suit, she's been on the house the rest since the minute received power back in february may and was military rulers. meanwhile, of hit back at the united nations after it called the armies crackdown on defense.

a lockdown will not be enough to reverse the trend of rising infections. look for the cases, instead of expecting the cases come to you find test trace eisley, then support. when you do want testing go, it will mean that the pos to figures will go much higher than what we see today. but it will also mean that more people can be treated earlier and saved lives. the government has accelerated its vaccination program including rolling out mobile units in areas where residents may have difficulty getting to vaccination centers. just to 4 percent of the population has been fully inoculated. so far, the government aims to reach heard immunity by december. the slow delivery of vaccine supplies and delays by manufacturers may hinder the gold florence louis al jazeera calling for her in biologists are investigating a mystery skin disease affecting white tip reef shocks. this is in malaysia as well,

pitched one of the sharks with what appears to be spots and lesions on its head went viral after being taken by an underwater photographer, borneo island. divers have since found the same abnormalities in every group of chunks. they've come across reports suggest rising c. temperatures could be responsible, more from jessica may week. now who's the director of the center for marine futures at the university of western australia? i'm actually quite concerned because i think it's an example of how human impact continues to surprise us on, on you know, how it affects the ocean wildlife. so this is, this has occurred in a marine park where there's no fishing. we have climate change on going and we know that having all sorts of impacts on ocean wildlife. and so this is a surprising and concerning potential outcome of climate change. we know that sharks in particular are already at risk from warming oceans. they have

a very high demand for oxygen because they're quite active. and as the oceans warm oxygen content goes down. and that puts another level of stress on, on these animals that are also at risk for over fishing globally. so we need to start thinking about how we do a better job of protecting our ocean, wildlife, you know, the broader context is trying to understand or, except that there are all these surprising consequences as, as what humans do on our oceans. and therefore, we need to think about how we put better protection in place for ocean wildlife. still more for you on this news, our check out this content that the goal that's going on with the euro. check it out. i mean, everybody here in marshall. ah

ah the news with me ah

ah ah, very jazzy wow jose here the queen of puns for scotland versus chip a i'll let you know. yeah. ok thanks so much and have been given a reality check on that return to a major men's tournament finals for the 1st time in more than 2 days. the team hadn't played on the big safe since the world cup in from 1998. it's like being at home for that group. the opener against the czech republic, hamden park, and glasgow. 12000 funds couldn't carry scotland to victory. the checks took one no leave before half time through patrick shake. he then come through scotland defense

with the goal of the tournament. so far. a great solo strike from hall. why? and it was check, mate, you know, to the visitors, the spain start the years and seville as they take on sweden and mondays, late game, poland, and slip i kick kick off in the next few minutes. then walked christine ericsson spoken for the 1st time since his cardiac arrest on the pitch. in his teens, opening years game, erickson's agent told it least get the sports that the player wants to thank well wishes and said he was feeling better. now midfield also said he wouldn't give up, but he wanted to understand what had happened. erickson was revived off the collapsing during the 1st half denmark's game against finland on saturday, while erickson's teammates returned to training on monday for the 1st time since his co op. they meet belgium in the 2nd game on thursday. many of the danish players were visibly upset during the one of the last to finland, following the incident. now the keeper cas, dash michael,

has question. the need to restart the game. i think the game is played, but i think the, the question is obviously, i think a decision about the game should probably not have been been made in the heat of the moment. i think it would probably have been a wise decision to, to maybe change their change the rules and regulations in an extraordinary circumstances and maybe take a breath and then reconvene the day after and make a decision on how brazil and kicked off the corporate america with a win over venezuela mccain? yes name, i'm gabrielle. but both scored in the opening match in brasilia against the venezuela team who had to drop in 15 squad replacement of 2 separate plays tested positive for coping 19 resulted over the hosting of the tournament with less than 2 weeks ago. after original hosting and tina and columbia would drop as case the corona virus rows in those country all over the columbia also got that cam paying

but perhaps the biggest winner of the day with this young man who was gifted the well, the ones racket off to that much. it could barely believe it and celebrated like a future grandson champion should look at him, go also more that it was for, for now it looks highly strung though. joe o bulls and his coat now. sorry everyone. back in a moment with more news news. news. news when the news breaks and the story bill, when people need to be heard nigeria with a woman press, it would be great. and the story needs to be told algebra her teams on the ground
