naughty district in the province. army is trying to hope to tell about the band and the military ceremony is being held in guardians, and the 2 took his soldiers killed in northern syria. that vehicle was attacked on saturday in the above area. the defense ministry says turkish bolt is immediately fired by the u. s. deputy secretary of state, wendy sherman is heading to china. she'll be the highest ranking by ministration official to visit the country. now, on the eve of her visit, china's foreign minister had this warning for washington. because the u. s. has been using its strength to put pressure on other countries and thinking it's superior to others. we need to tell us clearly there's no country in the world, but it's superior to others, and there shouldn't be one. china will never accept any country that claims to be superior to others. if the u. s. has not learned to treat other countries equally. china and the international community have the responsibility to help us learn this

lesson properly. graham a web is a research fellow at the institute for defense and strategic studies that none young technological university in singapore. he says there are areas where washington and basing could improve ties. miss sherman is up for an uphill battle coming into check engine to day to, to meet her chinese culture partner to try and set the tone of this highly deteriorating relationship, right? if at all possible right now, that's the narrative that's coming out from washington. that china is really in a country or a government to to be suspicious of. and right now i think in se asia, the region to withdraw, lloyd austin will be visiting by tomorrow. first op singapore is to remind all partners here in the region that day should really be more watchful or not take,

you know, chinese support that's coming into the region. terms of capital, in terms of chinese businesses coming into the region for granted the be, you know, the sort of get an agenda behind that and everyone should be more vigilant. at this point in time. it's all up to, you know, both the junior, washington and officials and both sides of the fence to not to be distracted from what's really important, what's really common between all parties. and they get caught up in these issues about the top trying to see and also of course, by espionage and all and, and the like me, these things are clearly important. but i think we also need to look at the more at the, at the areas of which more cooperation can be forged right now and come to these hotspots. i think that's not where i think we'll fine beyond food. saudi arabia says it's inserted under straw drones launched by humans who the rebels towards the kingdom south. the saudi coalition, her shot done dozens of trains in recent weeks. yemen has been in gulf by

a civil war since 2014 saudi right in supports. the exult government, the war has killed more than a 130000 people created the world's worst humanitarian crisis. now russia has held its annual show of naval strength displayed at the state of the art war, ships of marines and weaponry, and a parade on that never river in st. petersburg and in the gulf of finland, president vladimir putin attended the event. navy day is the public holiday, but there are no spectators this year because of pandemic restrictions. puzzled pelican hearth is a columnist and defense and military strategist and reporter on the via because that's a choice you know, from moscow. good. have you with us on the program? so as always, how much of this is about russia updating its arsenal rather than showing off what it has? well, this was basically about showing off and showing off really for one person. for the

me are you by the were pushing was born in saint petersburg some 68 years ago. he grew up there. he can be very much like the navy that's maybe in the dreamt of being a day or something. and so the, he likes it and he was random, military displayed for him because the military right now or in some of a day, she was more liberal economic block, which is government which wants to cut defense spending. so demonstrate the military. my, it's very important for that, and of course it's good for the public which officially was not allowed. but in fact, in moscow, i mean in st. petersburg and in both the people came to the embankments. the police did not interfere. and so there are lots of crown oh and that must bring more infection because wash amount of the russian population in

majority are not next to me. and there was a lot of people there on the fishery standing in. so as you say that this is really a message for the domestic audience, rather than a message that made putin is sending out to his adver threes or foes, one to the for outside the big 2. but actually they're brought to st. petersburg of nuclear submarines. the newest one and only brought that there has no business being in st. petersburg. you had. * such submarines from enemy and it went to the trade some walk into the baltic sea for anyone to record that unique acoustic profile. all you because that's mary is the main thing called principal at dinner. and so they brought that into the bar. guess for a show, and that's just for the benefit of our prince of ours. so if it's for the domestic

audience and there's no specific arms race, such is this, it pops a chance to showcase what russia can produce to sales, perhaps in the future. well there is, of course it was raised, but it shaved display of naval display is not really that much about it. so it's, it's russia was just selling and trying to sell different weaponry and submarines and some ship. so since in the nation, but the nuclear ships are not for sale and nuclear strategic, so they're not for sale. but there's a lot of internal conference station not seen from the surface. there's also a very, very serious confrontation between the russian navy and the russian army, which controls the entire military time. general naval commanders are very,

very baker, and they very much use this occasion of this naval the special day to vent their, this appointment and disapproval of the military command and which in themselves been to see what the fall out of this is over the next few days certainly. but for the moment, power puzzle. falcon, thanks so much for joining us from moscow. thank you for having me. now, the french president has demanded an explanation from israel after the investigation revealed at spy with sounds on his phone and manuel macros. phone along with the french government officials, was reportedly hacked, using pegasus spyware, developed by the israel base. and as so group 10 governments, including the united arab emirates, are led to a bolt, the surveillance device to track activists, journalists, lawyers, and politicians. her dilemma has more from west jerusalem. my new i like, oh would have us enough, fairly bennett to make sure that there's an investigation that would be happening.

that certainly is well, should look a bit more closely into licensing at the moment than licensing for any of these sort of cyber weapon companies are given by the ministry of defense and all any contract that the company like. and so there are several others that are based here in israel. they do exactly the same thing. well, any of those lies is, or any of the deal they gave has to be agreed upon by the ministry of defense. now it seems that these really government is going to look into that a bit more closely, a committee from the, unless it is in the words to see, to review really all the like how the licensing process goes on and to review really the scope of these companies whether they should be able to so that kind of

software to any country in the world or not. french president manuel macro is in tahiti for his 1st official trip to the overseas territory of french polynesia. he visited healthcare staff and praise him for they work during the pandemic. later, he's expected to discuss the legacy of french nuclear tests carried out in the region from the 1960 to the 900 ninety's. a recent study showed from vastly under estimate to the impact on island health don't don't really see doing them on the bottom. we expect the president to ask for forgiveness. just as he recognized the colonization that took place in our area as a crime. we also expect him to clear that it was criminal and a form of colonization that's linked to nuclear power here in the pacific. it's not a question of money above all. they try to present us is permanent, biggers, but this country needs to be pacified. be reconciled with itself and it's people. the french state is to blame that mcclellan is a correspondent for islands,

the test sites. and for medical studies on intergenerational effects that might affect their children in the future. they were a few protesters carrying flags on private land near the airport. but this is a sign that this nuclear legacy from the cold war era of nuclear testing is still a hot issue in french polynesia, particularly for opposition groups and the community associations. the represent workers who stop the test size, neighboring communities, and church leaders who see this says very much a moral issue that still outstanding in relations between the molly people and the french government. thousands of people marched and hungry and opposition to a law. they say discriminates against the l g b t community. now the demonstration coincided with the annual pride parade when he taking part condemn nationalists, prime minister vic to albany put limits on what schools can teach about homosexuality. it's been challenged by the european commission,
