12:07 pm
dialogue, to prevent this conflict in ukraine from escalating. no, it's clear that there was no concrete outcome in terms of improving the situation in ukraine bought. what matches to be doing is that she didn't bring at least appeared to be a global statement statement and peacemaker during this trip. and the 2nd thing that agent has achieved, well, it really is the optics and your sticks were that this is a strong trying us supporting and propping up a weak russia. and it does really seem that putin was the junior partner here needing. she didn't pig. now we didn't see trying to crossing any red lines, offering, for example, military support to russia. china, so very much needs preserve the health of its relationship, especially economically with you. but at the same time, we did see china supporting i didn't, the flooring is weight behind me and needing russia to stay strong,
12:08 pm
no matter how ukraine war ends. and this is because trying to desperately needs russia not to fail. and putin to remain in power for this increasing confrontation that it finds itself in its increasing tensions against united states that needs moscow to be strong and, and back there in its corner. as that situation with the u. s. seems to be getting worse. shots can we? it says the north has the test launched multiple cruise missiles towards the peninsula as eastern waters. so says the missiles could have been long range and is not yet clear how many were launched. pyongyang has ramped up military tests in recent weeks, as the us and south korea carry out joint drills. these 13 people have died after a magnitude of 6.5. i was quite struck northern afghanistan, and parts of pakistan. it was centered on the hindu kush mountains near the northern african province of bud action. people and couple were outdoors from the quite kit because it was celebrating the persian new year. many chose to spend the

12:10 pm
there is a sense of fear, because people were take a take into social media. vip already be in some predictions. people claiming that there would be an earthquake in this region, but turkey is in the forefront of people's minds. people have seen the destruction does take place in that country, are also going back to 2005 in focused on your administered kashmir. there was a stronger effect that killed a right 87000 people and that's still in the forefront of people's minds. or when you speak to people, yes, it's business as usual, but they are still fearful. as as parliament as overton part of a law that band illegal settlements in the occupied west bite has been in place. so 20 o 5 when israeli settlers were ordered to leave during israel's withdrawal from garza lucasfilm, shari force had victory for his wally settlers as the knitted lips, a ban on 4 settlements in the occupied mass. man. it allow settlers to return to
