2:05 am
the meeting, we heard from him in person saying that he had carefully read china's plans for the ukrainian pride to settlements and the re room for discussion. and russia is always open for stations. and just to remind you that chinese please plan has been presented rounds of months ago prior to she's visit to moscow. the main program, michelle, for, for tuesday, that so many expect that the conflict in ukraine will talk dutch and it is now into 2nd year. and it doesn't show any signs of basic besides the cranium crisis, there will be other topics on the table. chinese number one, it can only pop, no russia in 2022. the tray turnover between the countries increased 30 percent. and we also see that g to the ukranian complex, russia has all the menu with long time friends, had partners, and to, to, to sanctions imposed in russia in connection with its military operation. china as well, it has increased massively in terms of economy. it has become russia, laundry, can only partner and the largest consumer of russian, oil, gas,
2:06 am
and cold. so obviously, the russian chinese trade issues, as well as the corporation entities. and the military technical cooperation between the 2 countries are still to be discussed with you from beijing. his katrina, you time is trying to capitalize on the mention of its successful brokering piece between saudi arabia and iran. and she thing is really looking at this visit, other than strengthening ties with lead in the fusion petunia see to projects china as a global calla, as a heat maker. she wants to get the attention, particularly of countries that have from the developing world, you might be a good time to seeing the u. s. constantly as a leader, and might be more open to china as an alternative. now we've seen these opening shop pleasantries and just chassis between got in houston and she didn't i think when it comes to do politics underestimate the importance of the train,
2:07 am
personal report between these 2 leaders. 10 years ago, more than 10 years ago now and president, she didn't, pain became the leader of china, russia, the countries you visited. and he said at the time that he was holding a new chapter in moscow, paging time. and now we've had, the 2 leaders meet more than 40 times. this is present and she didn't being my time in moscow letting me last time a made a ice cream birthday cake for president. she didn't think he himself has said that she did pay me the only state leader that he's celebration his own birthday with. i think what really crucially ties these 2 together. it's not just the fact that they're from russia and china because those 2 countries have had really complicated history. what i think is most important here is this piece, these 2 leaders of the head of authoritarian countries. they have a strong men leadership to have both figured out ways to manipulate the system so
2:08 am
that they can be need is basically for the rest of their life. and the important thing that we need to watch out is meant to be music that these to show a world view. and that is that they don't believe that the world should be led by the us and other western democracies. they don't think that kind of world order to them and other countries basically they would like to see their own countries. there are saw of governance or they don't seem to governance become more permanent . well, the united states, however, has dismiss china's attempt at brokering and into the conflict and ukraine. the world should not be fooled by any tactical move by russia, supported by china or any other country to freeze the war on its own terms. such a move would violate the un charter and delay the fights. use me the will of a 141 countries who have condemned brushes ward in the united nations general assembly one party to this conflict. ukraine has already put forward
2:09 am
a just peace formula. if china is committed to supporting an end to the war based on the principles of the un charter, as called for in point one of his plan, it can engage with presence lensky and ukraine on that basis. and use his influence to compel mask out to pull back its forces. rosalind jordan has more from washington. the biden administration is viewing with a lot of skepticism and some disdain, the visit of the chinese presidency asian team to moscow for 3 days of meetings with the russian president vladimir putin. the u. s. does not believe that china has the ability to act as an honest broker in trying to bring an end to the war between russia and ukraine. one, the u. s. argues that beijing does not have the moral authority given its own human rights record. and the recent indictment of vladimir putin for alleged war crimes, namely the removal of children from ukrainian territory to russian territory. the u
2:10 am
. s. also believes that china is still just trying to decide whether to give heavy weaponry to the russians who have essentially blown through much of their stock during the year long war. and then there's this. the u. s. also believes that china is trying to supplant the united states as the global superpower. and it believes that it is doing so by forming an alliance with moscow, one that they don't think here at the state department is actually going to work out. the u. s. has been trying for more than a year to convince china that aligning itself with moscow is a bad idea. and it has held the a threat of sanctions over the government in order to keep it from building a closer relationship with moscow. certainly anything in the u. s. is view that could give russia time to rebuild both it. so trope force as well as rebuild is
2:11 am
heaven. weaponry would be a very bad, especially for the people of ukraine. so depending on how the chinese want to play this, the u. s said essentially the bar is very high for success. rosalyn jordan, l g 0, the state department, 17 european union nations plus norway have signed a long term deal to buy ammunition, ukraine and increase their own stock piles. the european defense agency agreements covers multiple ammunition types and will last for 7 years. the 1st 2 years of the deal will fast track $155.00 millimeter be artillery rounds. russia has opened its own criminal investigation into the international criminal court, prosecutor and judges. it's after the court issued and arrest warrant for a prison, letting the person over the ledge deportation of children from ukraine to russia, shown how reports 40 countries fewer than a 3rd of all signatories to the international criminal court, gathered in london,

affirming their support of the coursework and ukraine, the journey towards international justice will be long in scope, vast. and these mainly western members of the court have pledged money and resources to the cause that we share the belief that president putin and the wider leadership must be held to account. and it's absolutely vital that we are night behind the i c c. and that we support the office of the prosecutor with whatever it needs appealing for support. the i. c, c's chief prosecutor said the very concept of international justice was at stake today. if we don't, at this moment in world affairs cling to the law. if we don't look at ourselves and decide how we can do better, not just in ukraine, but as nations as member states of the united nations. we will not only miss an opportunity, but we may not have further opportunities. hi, on everyone's agenda was the 1st major step on that journey arrest warrants issued
2:13 am
last week for russian president vladimir putin. and his children's rights commissioner charged with the illegal deportation of ukrainian children. russia's response a day off, the president putin, to the ukrainian city of mary paul now. and the russian occupation was to issue criminal charges against the icpc itself for ignoring kootenai immunity as head of state under international law. so the chief prosecutor of the icpc kareem khan has urged countries here to find the stamina to deliver international justice. but the real test of that stamina will not be in pledges made at conferences like these, but in countries signed up to the i. c. c, recognizing their obligation to deliver on each orders in the name of international justice like south africa, a signatory to the i. c. c, which failed to arrest su dan's omaha son alba, sheer on an icpc warrant. when he visited the country in 2015, our president,

putin is due there for a summit in august and the south african presidency says it is aware of its legal obligations. mister booting may have to rethink his plans. now, a wanted man in the international criminal court quest for justice joe al jazeera london, you cry and says, an explosion in russian n x. crimea has destroyed a case of russian cruise missiles. had happened in june coy in the north of the peninsula. william, the ukrainian defense ministry, said the missiles were being transported via rail. the russian install head of the region said it, offence systems had been activated. he reported at least one person was injured and house was damaged. and the russian president has pledged to supply free grain to african countries. if a deal allowing the export of grind from ukraine falls apart on saturday rusher
2:15 am
agreed to renew the so called black sea deal for 60 days. but along with to kia and the you, when keith wanted to extend it for 120 days, the agreement was reached last year to combat the global 3rd crisis caused by the war and ukraine. will place in new york, a tightening security as the city prices for possible criminal charges 3 filed against donald trump. the former us president, posted on social media that he expects to be arrested this week. it's in connection to alleged hush money payments made to adult films. dan stormy daniels by his former lawyer. michael cohen trump has called on his supporters to protest. gabriel elizondo has moved from new york. this is the center of the political world right now, at least here in the united states. we're in this court house behind me here in new york city. there is a grand jury that we believe is in the final stages of making a decision if they will bring a criminal indictment against donald trump. if they do,
2:16 am
it would mean trump is the 1st president ever in us history to face criminal prosecution. the manhattan district attorney has been investigating trump for several years. the case revolves around stormy daniels, a former adult film star, who claims she had an affair with trump and threatened to take her story public right before the 2016 election. knowing that the embarrassing claim could derail his presidential campaign. trump allegedly had his then fixer michael cohen kaye daniels, $130000.00 to keep quiet. i live, but it's part of that payment. the grand jury is investigating whether trump also falsified business records, which would be a felony police in new york. he stepped up security, trump denies all wrong doing, but his called for his supporters to take to the streets in protest. should he be
2:17 am
indicted? as a potential indictment lou media attention has increased its indicted. trump would need to turn himself in the spectre of a former president walking into a court house to surrender to authorities. it's something that we have never been seen before in us history. it's important to point out that even if trump is indicted, it does not necessarily mean that he is guilty if he's indicted. it would go to a jury trial, and it would be those jurors that would ultimately decide if he's guilty or not guilty of the crimes. he is accused of. now if he is found guilty during a later trial, the prison term could be up to 4 years in jail, but there is no mandatory prison required. and most independent analysts say it's highly unlikely that trump would ever serve any time in jail. for this

and these are the key points in the past decade that have been 15 times more deaths from drowns floods and storms and more vulnerable regions, carbon emissions, they need to drop and rapidly. in fact, they need to cut by almost half in just 7 years. if global warming is to be limited to one and a half degrees celsius baths a rapid and far reaching transition could pull us back from the brink. and to help do that, developed countries need to stump up hundreds of billions of dollars every year to vulnerable nations. something they've so far failed to do whether or not swelled leaders with that is another matter. it's not as if there weren't warnings long ago . and this was for man, nasa climate scientists, james hanson way back in 1988. altogether. this evidence represents a very strong case in my opinion that the greenhouse effect has been detected and it is changing our climate now. well, as we now know,
