a deal is agreed to slash carbon emissions by the global shipping industry. on a visit to beijing, us treasury secretary janet yellen says she's concerned about china's unfair trade practices. twitter considers legal action against threads, alleging the company stole its trade secrets. hello, i'm ben thompson, welcome to bbc news now. we start with ukraine, and a new appeal by president volodymyr zelensky, for more long—range weapons.
2:01 pm
speaking ahead of a crucial nato summit next week, mr zelensky said it was "very difficult" to fight russia without them. translation: if you are defending your land and you cannot reach - the appropriate distance to destroy your enemy, then the enemy has the distance advantage. that is why it's important to have long—range weapons. we are talking about it for a long time with the us and other partners. today, we have some long—range projectiles and artillery system equipment delivered to us. gordon corera explained a little earlier. there is expectation of a package out of washington today, including cluster munitions, not confirmed yet. and those cluster munitions are controversial. they effectively drop tiny
2:02 pm
bomblets on an area. now, from a military point of view, that can be very effective, particularly against the kind of entrenched russian defences, the trenches that ukraine is pushing against in its counter—offensive. and so it's been keen to get hold of those weapons. and some of the military analysts in the us also support that idea. but they are controversial. sometimes, those bomblets don't explode, they're so—called duds. they can lie there for a long time. and then, in the future, civilians, children often, can pick them up, they can explode, causing terrible damage. for that reason, they are controversial. more than 100 countries have signed a convention against using them, but that doesn't include the us. russia and ukraine are not those signatories to that. and even in washington, it has been controversial. members of president biden's own democratic party have been opposed to the use of cluster munitions whereas others in congress from the opposing republican party have often been calling for them. so there has been a battle, a tension in washington. this issue has been on president biden's desk for some time.
2:03 pm
but it does look now, with the relatively slow progress of ukraine's counter—offensive, as if they might be approved in order to give ukraine a further push in its battle against russia. yes, one of those countries, as you touched on there, gordon, is germany. it has come out and said it is opposed to sending cluster munitions to ukraine. but you did touch on there on that counter offensive and some criticism as we enter that second month of the counter offensive about how little progress it seemingly is making. we know president zelensky asking forfurther ammunition to progress that offensive. what do we know about what's happening on the ground right now? well, i think there's an acknowledgement from the ukrainian progress that from the ukrainian side that progress has been slower than they'd like in that counter offensive. that's because they've met with really entrenched russian positions. the russians had time to dig in to prepare their lines. ukraine probing, looking for gaps, weaknesses where it might be able to apply more force to push through.
2:04 pm
and they've suggested that, actually, if they'd received more weapons, more long—range weapons, more artillery earlier from their allies, they might have been able to launch that counteroffensive earlier and have more success. so there is, i think, some frustration on the ukrainian side. that's not to say they don't believe that they will eventually get where they want to be. but i think they do view this upcoming nato summit as important, partly for specific weapons and support, but also for longer—term security guarantees. so, some frustration in kyiv — as gordon mentioned — that progress in ukraine's counter—offensive has been slower than hoped. currently, fighting is continuing in the eastern donetsk and south—eastern zaporizhzhia regions. ukraine says its forces have continued their advances around the city of bakhmut and have retaken nine settlements and 160 square kilometres of territory since the start of the counter—offensive
2:05 pm
on 4th june. 0verall, ukrainian troops have been facing fierce russian resistance. ukrainian troops barely flinch as another russian shell hits the front lines close to bakhmut. for a month now, the counteroffensive has raged here. "come on, come on," the commander urges his men forwards. and they are making progress, but it's slow work. too slow for some. i step on the russian mine. this soldier lost his foot to a mine a while back and has now recovered and is fighting again. but he's worried. yes, we need help. we need more artillery systems. we need more, more, more weapons. and without that? without that i think probably, we have... we will lose this game. you're going to lose?
2:06 pm
yes. the counteroffensive is certainly proving costly for ukraine. another casualty arrives at a field hospital on the southern front. 0leh is just 19 years old. he was wounded in the back this morning by shrapnel from a mortar. despite the rising ukrainian casualty rate, despite scenes like this, it is important to remember that ukraine's counteroffensive is still in its very early stages. it's not appropriate yet to judge whether it's been a failure or a success. drone footage of russian forces near the southern city of kherson. ukraine has launched a surprise attack here, forcing these troops to retreat, probing russia's defences, as you might in a long game of chess, because this is a slow process, notjust
2:07 pm
on the front lines. here, a huge russian ammunition store near donetsk is targeted. it's part of ukraine's plan to weaken the enemy before the counteroffensive moves up another gear. "everyone is waiting for that," says army doctor yevgen. "we wait and we believe that everything will be fine. "we just need to be patient. but that patience comes at a high price. 19—year—old 0leh is taken away in a british ambulance, funded by private donors. he's stable, but his spine is damaged. he may never walk again. andrew harding, bbc news, ukraine.
2:08 pm
90% of international trade is shipped by sea. products made all over the world reach their customers via huge container ships. but the shipping industry is one of the world's most polluting, accounting for up to 3% of global carbon emissions. and so delegates from 175 countries at the international maritime 0rganisation have thrashed out a deal to make the shipping industry net zero by or around 2050. but it's only a minimum 20% reduction, striving for 30% by 2030. and campaigners say it's far short of what is needed to be sure of keeping global heating below 1.5 degrees c. with the details and reaction on this deal, here is our environment correspondent.— correspondent. there is a lot of criticism but _ correspondent. there is a lot of criticism but you _ correspondent. there is a lot of criticism but you have - correspondent. there is a lot of criticism but you have to - criticism but you have to acknowledge this is a significant political achievement, you have 175 countries to agree on a deal to go to net zero byte or around 2050, their previous efforts on this were
2:09 pm
to halve that, to go to 50% of emissions cut by 2050, so this is a big step forward for them, because shipping plays a critical role in world trade but it has been under the radar when it comes to carbon regulation because it is not part of the paris agreement, it uses very heavy fuel oil, and because ships have complex ownerships it has not been regulated in terms of carbon, so seeing this as a political achievement, it's significant and to get all the countries to sign up to it is undoubtedly a win. find get all the countries to sign up to it is undoubtedly a win.— get all the countries to sign up to it is undoubtedly a win. and as you said, it is undoubtedly a win. and as you said. many — it is undoubtedly a win. and as you said. many peeple _ it is undoubtedly a win. and as you said, many people will _ it is undoubtedly a win. and as you said, many people will not - it is undoubtedly a win. and as you said, many people will not be - it is undoubtedly a win. and as you | said, many people will not be aware of the carbon footprints of the shipping industry, perhaps they feel that sending it by sea is better than sending it by air, for example, but we know that with the booming global trade, but we know that with the booming globaltrade, even but we know that with the booming global trade, even a small cut now will be cancelled out by the booming global trade and shipping in the years to come. global trade and shipping in the years to come-— global trade and shipping in the years to come. that is one of the worries here. _ years to come. that is one of the worries here, the _ years to come. that is one of the worries here, the predictions - years to come. that is one of the worries here, the predictions are| worries here, the predictions are that global will increase by 50% over the next two or three decades so unless there are tough targets
2:10 pm
put in place, the emissions from shipping are likely to go up even in the light of this deal so what is disappointing is that there is no hard target for 2030 or 2014 which are critical to get to net zero by 2050. there are aspirational checkpoints but there is no big stick to make countries or companies do this, it's all in good will, however i guess there is a lot of hope pinned on the idea of a carbon levy, $100 a tonne is being mooted by pacific island states, if that is implemented over the next number of years, that could pressurise ships into going further and faster on the emissions cuts, and may be the stick if you like that gets shipping towards net zero by 2050. what if you like that gets shipping towards net zero by 2050. what is the answer? _ towards net zero by 2050. what is the answer? is _ towards net zero by 2050. what is the answer? is this _ towards net zero by 2050. what is the answer? is this about - towards net zero by 2050. what is the answer? is this about using i the answer? is this about using different types of fuel? if ships when flow —— slower they would not be as polluting but when you buy a ship it's life span is 30 years so
2:11 pm
changes need to be done now, don't they, for them to take effect even a little further down the line?- little further down the line? there are two aspects — little further down the line? there are two aspects to _ little further down the line? there are two aspects to that, _ little further down the line? there are two aspects to that, one - little further down the line? there are two aspects to that, one is - little further down the line? there i are two aspects to that, one is what is happening to ships now and what can be done, so changing the fuel oils are used to more expensive fuel oil, going slower, perhaps adding sales, calculations have been done on this, emissions could be cut by half by 2030 with a limited increase in cost of shipping, the second part of the equation are the decisions made by shipping companies now to build ships that will last 30 or 40 years and that is why that deal is crucial because it sends a signal, evenif crucial because it sends a signal, even if the detail is not there, it means investing in ships now, it's better to go green from that perspective than to continue using the fuel they are using now. that new deal announced _ the fuel they are using now. that new deal announced to try to cut carbon emissions from the global shipping industry. us treasury secretary janet yellen has expressed concern
2:12 pm
about what she called china's �*unfair trade practices'. speaking at the start of a four—day visit to beijing, she called for direct and clear lines of communication between the two governments. she said that decoupling the world's largest economies would be virtually impossible. china's premier said that he could see — in his words — a new rainbow in his country's relationship with the us. here's what ms yellen had to say a little earlier. the us seeks healthy economic competition with china. but healthy economic competition where both sides benefit is only sustainable if that competition is fair. during meetings with my counterparts, i'm communicating the concerns i have heard from the us business community, including china's use of nonmarket tools like expanded subsidies for its state—owned enterprises and domestic firms, as well as barriers to market access for foreign firms. i've been particularly troubled
2:13 pm
by punitive actions that have been taken against us firms in recent months. i'm also concerned about new export controls, recently announced by china, on two critical minerals used in technologies like semiconductors. we're still evaluating the impact of these actions. 0ur asia correspondent rupert wingfield—hayes gave us his analysis of what ms yellen had to say. she talked about punitive actions against us businesses in china. that's the fact that this year we've seen several us businesses investigated, some of their staff arrested and at least one closed down. that has caused a great deal of concern, i think, for the safety of us companies operating in china. there's also concern that china isn't really giving proper, free, open market access to us companies,
2:14 pm
according to wto rules, and that china finds ways to discriminate and keep out certain us companies that it doesn't want to compete in the chinese market. but there are a whole host of other problems in the relationship that janet yellen will have been addressing directly with her chinese counterparts, as well as reassuring them, because she's also given the message that she's gone to beijing to reassure china that the united states is not intent on containing or constraining china's rise as an economic power. around the world and across the uk, this is bbc news. rees is the first and his family to
