investigation. optic graphic footage emerges of an unarmed ukrainian prisoner allegedly being shot dead by russian troops. ah, mad at me, how'd walk into the program? and i do ukraine's president vladimir salenti. he has denied keith, was involved in the sabotaging of the nordstrom gas pipelines, the on the se, pipelines which brought russia natural gas to germany were blown up in september 2022. the new york times reported earlier citing unnamed us officials that us intelligence indicates a pro ukrainian group carried out the attack. german media is also reporting that there is evidence pointing to possible ukrainian involvement. german government is still investigating the incident, but russia says the reports show

a u. n. lead international inquiry is needed. they w political correspondent, simon young outline the new evidence brought to light by a joint investigation by 3 german media outlets. right, i should say, 1st of all, these are unconfirmed reports, but the by some of germany's most respected media organizations like the public broadcast, the a r d and the newspaper, the site. and what they've got is many concrete details about what they say happened with the node stream explosions. they say that prosecutors investigators have identified the boat that was used in the operation to blow up the pipelines. a yard that it is reported was rented from a firm in poland that apparently belonged to 2 ukrainian nationals. so that's one concrete link with ukraine. they say investigators have found that 6 people were on

board and involved in the operation, including a divers and medical personnel, and then nationalities, around known because fight, passports. we used to rent this yacht and then they go on with more details. but the location of this boat was attract, leaving raw stock in northern germany, and was subsequently located near a danish island in the baltic sea. and according to these german media reports, as i say, it is what they are at the moment. a western intelligence agency had already warned or suggested some months ago that a pro ukrainian group is it's described could be behind, could have been behind the explosions of the baltic north stream pipelines. so quite a lot of detail which tends to sort of corroborate some of these claims. i suppose

you currently launched an investigation to find russian soldiers who apparently killed an unarmed ukrainian prisoner of war. after graphic footage emerged, a video circulating on social media appears to show a man in the credit in uniform, finishing a cigarette and shouting a glory to you, cried before being killed with several shots. the crowning army, without providing for the evidence, says it believes the man is a 41 year old who has been listed as missing, need the embattled city of back moot since february. and he's not the video address . president zalinski urged old ukrainians to echo the soldiers woods. she wouldn't, you will have you do a video appear today showing how the occupiers brutally killed a soldier who bravely said to their face, glory to ukraine level. what i want us altogether in unity to respond to his words,

glory, to the hero, glory, to heroes, glory to ukraine. and we will find the killers in land, has made them over to you as citizens kidnapped by suspected mexican drug traffickers have been found dead while 2 others survived. authorities are still investigating how the 2 americans dod, the 4 friends had driven into mexico last week because at least one was planning to have cosmetic surgery. the 2 survivors have since been returned to the us for close friends on a road trip to mexico gun down and kidnapped, only to made it back allied, escorted by a caravan of american and mexican officials. hopefully those michigan mexican authorities handed over to us authorities, the woman who was unharmed and the man who was injured on the international bridge between brownsville and matamoros gunman open fire on the group in the middle of

traffic in the border city of my tomatoes, their friends crossed into mexico on friday with some of them seeking more affordable, cosmetic procedures. instead, they were caught up in the cities deadly turf war between powerful drug cartels. as news of the abduction spread, the kidnappers reportedly moved from place to place to evade rescuers. and on the general problem of the cartels looked, cartels are responsible for the deaths of americans that we are fighting as hard as possible, the da and the f. b. i are doing everything possible to dismantle and disrupt and ultimately prosecute. are the leaders of the cartels and the entire networks are the paid to pena, mexico's president, offered his regrets to the bereaved families, e. b. m. us. but we are very sorry that this has happened in our country, and we send our condolences to the family and friends of the victims and to the people in government of the united states. i said us on the lens. yes. but lopez

opened a door also said the incident would not have generated nearly as much attention had the victims been mexicans, and not us citizens. jonas foreign minister has warned that there will be, quote, confrontation and conflict between china and the u. s. if washington does not change its approach to his country, speaking on the side lines of the national people's congress, china's rather stat parliament, foreign minister, jin young, blamed the us for rising tensions of a time one. he also held the relationship between baking and moscow. i'm sure you're really, bradley bowman is senior director of the center on military and political power in washington d. c. i asked him where the latest exchanges leave us china diplomacy. thanks for the question. you know, the chinese communist party in my view is a wolf that sometimes dawns the disguise of a sheep, you know, smiling,

attempting to charm folks and talking about when sions and every now and then they let that disguise drop and we see there wolf lawyer, essence and i think that's a little bit what we're getting here with this new foreign minister. so i, for my partner, i'm a little less focused on whatever disguise they happen to be wearing at the moment . a little bit more focused on the essence of the regime. they're what they're doing in, gen, jang, and what they are seeking to do against taiwan, who has more to lose when to super powers in gauge like this. i think the world stands to lose. i don't think this is a conflict between the united states and china. i think there's the conflict between the chinese communist party and the free world broadly defined. and i'm not afraid to use that term. i think they want to re can't recreate international order and they're authoritarian image that enables might, makes right authoritarianism in the south china sea and taiwan allows them to do whatever the heck they want to the weavers. so i, for one think that's

a world that i don't want to live in. and i think the more of the united states in europe and others can band together to deter aggression and speak truth to authoritarian power. the better is this moment of high tension. is it in some way linked to the born ukraine as washington has been giving strong warnings to biking . for instance, not to supply ammunition to russia. ukraine, excuse me, russia and china are closer than they've been since the 900 fifties. that according to the u. s. intelligence community, china has been echoing putin's talking points to an attempt to justify this brutal and moral unprovoked invasion. china has already been supporting russia in some ways and providing non lethal assistance for the war and ukraine and helping them circumvent sanctions for their defense industrial base. you know, i, i hope we don't need chinese drones killing ukrainians for europe in the united states to be on the same page regarding the threat from the chinese communist party . that would be a tangible example. what's already going on and we need to get on the same page and

my view on china's doctor and military civil fusion, which seeks to still technology lucidly in a illicitly to create national champion companies to put american european businesses out of business and to arm the people's liberation army for aggression, the taiwan strait. i think i've been senior director of the center on military and political power in washington. thanks so much for your time. thank you. in front, tens of thousands of joined the 1st wave of protest against president amendment clones, proposed pension reforms. unions have vowed to bring the nation to a standstill of the plans, which would say the minimum retirement i've raised from $62.00 to $64.00. the government is the measures unaided, but polls show must french citizens opposed to changes in the early hours. final preparations are made for a day of disruption to make shift barricade set in place at a bus depot, just north of paris unions called on people to come out and force to protest
