the international campaign to abolish nuclear weapons. she says the agreement between russia and belarus could have catastrophic consequences. it increases the risk of the use of nuclear weapons by adding more actors who might potentially have the ability to drop nuclear bomb. it creates a potential for, for chaos and miscommunication. and that's a risky scenario at the best of time. and a time of conflict, i think, is really stabilizing very well. these weapons are, if used would be, would have results similar or greater than what we saw in hiroshi and nagasaki in 1945 there. hugely, they can cause huge catastrophic harm. and there is no recovery from any health care system they could deal with that type of catastrophe. it doesn't matter. the size of the weapon,

the long term consequences are also something that we just don't have the capacity to cope with food. it's highly problematic. the nonproliferation treaty is not explicitly say you cannot store weapons in another country, but the pilots in those countries are trained to use those weapons and that would require a transfer of control. and that is prohibited under the nonproliferation treaty. prison, inflated potency is russia in china and not creating a military alliance. putin says the military cooperation between the 2 countries was transparent. he's accused width and powers of building and you access that is some resemblance to germany in japan's world war 2 alliance chinese prison. she's paying recently help talks with person in moscow on tourists has formerly broken off decades long diplomatic relations with taiwan and switch to china. it comes after the honduran foreign minister traveled to beijing to discuss establishing

ties the slaves taiwan with only 13 diplomatic allies. china considers self ruled taiwan as part of its territory to be retaken by force if necessary. the u. s. is honduras, his action is a sovereign decision, but has warmed the china often makes empty promises. on an oil fact, we will not engage in meaningless dollar diplomacy with china. in the past few years, china has constantly use various methods to suppress tie one's international participation has increased his military incursions against us and attacked regional peace and stability. these precious and threat or not alter the reality that taiwan and the people's republic of china and not affiliated with each other. neither will they decrease the will of the taiwanese people to insist on freedom and democracy while walking with big strides towards the world. vincent char, as a taiwanese politician and foreman diplomat, he says taiwan is now focusing on strengthening partnerships with its non diplomatic allies. child has been very intent on taking away to one's

international state to political means to economic means into foreign affairs means and diplomatic means. and certainly i think is reflective of, i mean it's, it, it was a bigger blow, i guess. a few years ago when i went the moment ago, i started to switch, given that this is the latest in a long line of them happening domestically, there isn't a big of a political reaction. is there one was i think people have recognized that china is intent on engaging in the dollar diplomacy to try to switch tele diplomatic allies and the best being we can do about it. and response is to strengthen our partnerships with not diplomatic allies, including united states, japan, and other like mine in democracies around the world. people are more intent and focused on right now, which is the security here on, on regional security, on cross street issues, uninsured. a great relationship, us and other security partners. so that's sort of where to foreign and diplomatic affairs focus is right now rather than maintaining

a larger amount of implementing allies. well, the issue with china that is very difficult to compete. dollar to dollar against them. number one, i mean they made a lot of lavish promises that may or may not have countries in the past, but more problematic we use these dollar diplomacy have gone to private pockets. and so we thought it's recent. expose a, for example by micronesia president that the chinese ambassador, they're open, the bride, for example, sitting government officials. so that's sort of what we're dealing against. and i'm not sure we're going to play that game. the state of emergency has been declared in the us state of mississippi after a tornado tor through communities for more than an hour on friday night at least 25 people are confirmed dead and dozens are injured. me cool. soon sharif reports a trail of destruction that stretches more than 270 kilometers. a tornado swept through several towns on its our long journey in mississippi, ripping about everything in its path. rolling fork in the room,

mississippi. delta is the hardest hit. nearly half the debts have been reported here. i have seen better days, but this is the worse i have ever this devastating friend law damage. it is hot breath. the tornado was so powerful. debris was reportedly thrown thousands of meters into the air. tens of thousands of people in alabama, mississippi and tennessee are without power. we could hear really, hulu, feeling by failed to hurl, fell into history. didn't write more, but it's like a 20 minute hold wouldn't come through. we don't have power, no anymore, no. to nato's a difficult to predict, but are relatively common in the central and southern parts of the us. but friday's twister was set to be rare. it was on the ground for more than an are causing

to collapse because of an economic and political crisis. this morning, the lebanese woke up to time zones, usually at the end of march of this country shift into summer time. but this did not happen because of a decision, an unexpected and surprised decision taken by the caretaker prime minister, along with the speaker of parliament. be buddy. this really this decision a caught people by surprise. some institutions like middle east airlines has adapted to the decision. yes, their electronic devices, their clocks remain the same, but they've had to change their flight schedule to comply with the international flight schedule. but, but there's uproar and there's opposition, and there are institutions which are rejecting to comply with the decision. the argument is it was in discriminant and it shows the way this country has been governed for decades. and it shows how officials and not state institutions are

taking decisions without resorting through to parliament to cabinets. and most of the opposition is coming from the christian community, the head of the maronite church, christian parties, because they are concerned that the post in lebanon, sectarian power, sharing system of the president is now vacant. and it is the muslim leaders who are taking the decisions on their behalf. and it's not just that, while those empowered did not give a decision on official reason why this is happening, it coincided with the start of ramadan. and in the league video, you hear the how speaker say, you know, people will, will fast, less, less an hour during this month. so a decision on whether or not lebanon will change to summer timings, which it really has done for, for years now, is causing a lot of confusion in the country. polls have opened in cuba to leaked and you know, national assembly, but there's been no campaigning nor opposition. challenges. vote his will instead

that people are on the island is basically about their daily lives. food, electricity, transportation, housing, st. against that backdrop, many cuban americans and recent migrant scoff at any notion that cubans legislative elections represent a step toward democracy. we find that funny, ah, when late ga, ga, bog, an election. when the candidate have no opposition to have been hampered by the party to run on oppose the issue of the election. so cuba for the majority, a loss here and soft flora is irrelevant. cuban officials blame their country's economic woes on us hostility and its decades long cold war era, economic embargo. casanya says the elections won't alter the basic realities of life in cuba with fail as q on people. is this a say kind of a theater play?

weapon ization of law enforcement against their political opponent. is something straight out of the stalinist, russia horror show. it's important to point out that the grand jury in new york is still considering evidence, even though there was no concrete action of an arrest in the last few days. it's also important to point out that donald trump is also facing further criminal inquiries in georgia for potential election interference when he tried to find votes after the election, asking the secretary of state beer to intervene. and also of course, in relation to the riot on january the 6th, at the capital building, and the part he, me of played in inciting the right there. alan fisher, i'll jazeera washington leaders from spanish portuguese speaking nations, attending the appro american summit on rising inflation and migration
