it's international perspective with the human touch zooming way in, and then pulling back out again. the story being spot fantasy whipping soldiers. the notion that we can offset all the cars we generate, does carbon offsetting actually work with the state of the army isn't worth sitting in the profit is net 0 just to catch raise. net 0 mission. that's there. i did or climate children poly re examines the myths. i'm delusions in the struggle against climate breakdown. all hail the planet episode won on al jazeera from breaking down the headlines to exposing the powers attempting to silence reporting. the listening post doesn't just cover the news. it covers the way the news is cupping. oh, now does either. ah,

the top ukrainian security official says bellows has been taken hostage by moscow after president person said he would station tactical nuclear weapons there. person says the agreement with president alexander lucas shanker does not violate the nonproliferation agreements. and that it's in response to britain's decision to provide ukraine with armor piercing grounds containing depleted uranium english press. one good to alex and lucas shinkel is right. he said, listen where your closest ally and why do the american deployed nuclear weapons at their allies on their territory, train the crews pilot, how to use this type of weapon if needed. we agreed there will do the same without violating our obligations. i emphasize without violating our international obligations on the nonproliferation of nuclear weapons. miles pumper is from the james martin center and non proliferation studies. he believes prisons announcement is designed to intimidate nato. they will not violate the nuclear nonproliferation

treaty because russia like the united states. it's with its nato allies, will retain the nuclear weapons with its own arsenal, within its own, under its own military command until the time of war. so it does not violate the nuclear nonproliferation treaty. however, it does violate an a statement that president putin made only 4 days ago with her as an in g. the countries should not. station nuclear weapons abroad. this has more to do with politics, are both domestic and international in terms of trying to scare people in europe. especially countries like germany and in terms of telling the russian public that they found some way to use russia, nuclear weapons. what it really says to me is russia's losing the war in ukraine and put in was trying to change the subject. but we certainly did some countries that will get nervous about it. and it's, this is what, why they do it. there are, there's always an active movement in countries like germany,

the against nuclear issues, nuclear weapons, and they know that's something they can use to try to divide the alliance. i don't think it'll succeed in that endeavor. and right now it should be clear, the russians are not actually going to move any weapons at least until july. oh importance announcement. he said they would build the bunker ah, to how's the weapons. so this is an announcement for the future if it happens. but it's more about saber rattling, and my view the international criminal court is investigating whether a tax on ukrainian civilian facilitates including water supplies and power plants constitute war crimes. russia has repeatedly targeted energy infrastructure, forcing teams to work relentlessly to repair the damage on and dangerous circumstances. al jazeera spoke to andre toyota, an electrical engineer in charge of repairs and keith that asthma was mcwilliam, selma. this is one of the most extensive damage sites in key. if 4 of the cities
