10:05 am
. so i think that there will be important trade offs in reaching the standard with the goals. in the short term, there may be other measures that impose inconvenience, perhaps even the degree of hardship as well. but i think that certainly the resilience is there and the commitment as well, i think by the chinese government to achieving these absolutely critical sustainability goals. russia says ukraine secret service was behind a car bomb. ne, moscow which killed the daughter of a prominent supporter of president vladimir persian russian security services have released this video showing who they claim is the assassin. they say it's a ukrainian woman in her forties and that she'd been planning this the attack since july 29 year old dia to gain was killed when her car exploded while she was driving . ne, moscow, him her father, alexander, duke, and was travelling in
