ukraine also coming up with a powerful earthquake rattles large parts of afghanistan and pakistan. it trim is same. people fleeing their homes and offices and keeping it fresh on war world war to day. we look at how it is rightly project is trying to re feel the sea of galilee. we've d solid native water from the mediterranean. ah, i'm jared read. welcome to the shore, the leaders of china and russia, a hailing acoya, new era in relations following a 2nd day of talks in moscow sheet in pink and vladimir putin signed a deal to expand bilateral trade and energy ties. in a show of unity against the waste. but when it came to the war in ukraine,

there was no sign of a breakthrough trying to put on the most reassuring smiles. chinese president, she didn't ping and as russian counterpart flooding mere putin pledge to straighten ties, putin increasingly isolated by the west for his invasion of ukraine is forced to turn east for friendly handshake fall so clever on the issue of the ukrainian crisis. china has always adhered to the purpose and principles of the united nations charter, adhered to an objective and impartial position, and actively promoted peace and negotiations. gigi charles saw talk ho, beatings, refusal to condemn the war on ukraine has been the driving force of this friendship to instead, she has proposed a so called peace plan, could be panning his counterpart, the opportunity to blame the west and ukraine. mooney is valery,

we believe that many of the provisions in the peace plan put forward by china. she is a consistent with russian approaches exhaust flow and could be taken as the basis for a peaceful settlement when they are ready for it in the west and give us an however we are so far. we have not seen such readiness on their part that we got thorn is too sir, externally meeting in the blue fort putin and, and lions. but she also offers a chance to close the gap left by the withdrawal of western firms from russia following its war on ukraine concept. well, in the community, we are ready to support chinese businesses. so say, when it comes to replacing the production of the western enterprises, america that have left russia, boasting a number of new deals on energy and trade. the autocratic duel promise a new era of partnership. one where china sees itself as

a piece broker for russia and ukraine. so it was strengthening of time between china and russia, but how equal or not is this relationship? that's the question i put to geopolitical analyst for a brief 40. well, clearly this is an alliance of the, an equals where china has a strong hand. and russia is in the position of a, basically getting russian political over, sorry, chinese political over for russia's war in ukraine. and what is interesting is to see that apparently there was not a significant economic outcome from the summit, meaning that china is being very, you know, tough and not the city willing to go all the way to what really me putting needs in terms of economic support especially even finalizing and agreement on gas supply

and gas pipeline to between russia and china. so i would say it is a very yes you met, you can lines and it gives political over to going to be put it on here. given the long term economic lifeline. so given what you saying is china, exploiting russia, international isolation or perhaps not i figure so it's a much more complex game here. i think china is probably align with vladimir putin on the fact that this is a front against what is considered by both b, g and moscow as are dominated, as a, you estimated world. so in that sense, i think china ice east is joining russia in framing this war as a walk is basically a dominant west. however, it is clear also that china is be cautious. i some a could be clever. you clearly see chinese freedoms being reluctant to cross the

line. a specially engage in sectors or with russian companies that are in the u. s . or u sections. and at the same time and then taking the time probably to get maybe a better deal from the russians who clearly need some economic support both on the shore, but also longer term. if i heard you correctly, i think you said some was china's thing, somewhat cautious. what type of balancing act for brace is she playing between more covert support for russia, but not to an extent as to damage tried with the west or perhaps trigger more sanctions? exactly. i mean, so far are they seem to the chinese seem to have told a line that was said quite early on doing the war by the u. s. administration. on not aiding the russian and military conglomerate in prosecuting this war to be seen. and there were some signs recently that maybe the chinese were

willing to cross the line, but this as not in of him. and in now, i think, i think, which is importer. these, that china is, is giving a sort of cover to russia's war in ukraine. but to understand them clearly in the chinese plan, which is more position paper on the war, the chinese are trying to show that they are the good guys that they represent these global housing. they stand for the values that the global source of sovereignty of independence, of non deference, the global house stands for. so she is clearly trying to do a balancing act between giving over to russia to also take advantage of these kind of anti u. s. strong. and at the same time, positioning china as good global power supporting the global styles interest. great to get your inside fat braced point, the a see our vast, nothing global joining us from, ty, leisure, a brace. thank you. let's take a look now at some of the other stories making headlines today. french protest is

pakistani mega city of la hall, the tremors sent residents running out of buildings for the safety of the streets. hundreds of kilometers away in islamabad, shoppers also scrambled for the exits of this shopping center. the intensity was so high it, it felt like something is shaking very rapidly and the sound of reckless still haunting my ears. right now. pakistani officials ordered people to evacuate after cracks appeared in several high rises, while death reported in more remote areas. across the afghan border and closer to the quakes epicenter and kabul residence would jolted from their homes as well as the village had it. it was a very strong earthquake and every one came running out to wash at the apron, was hoping that the earthquake in turkey wouldn't happen here in couple rather cold

but climate change and years of over use has been threatening its survival. israel was after 4 or 5 consecutive years of drought and we watched the level of the day a lake. i do lake near at sea of galilee drop every year, drop more and more until the level that we can not pump from it any more. now in a world 1st project is round hopes to make that problem a thing of the past, by using dsl unaided water to refill the fresh water lake. the water from during here, very for membrane. we'd spoken out her big particle. ok after that though, or they're going through their reverse of northern membrane, which is the thick of those in there, the main process. israel has been desalination water for more than 2 decades. nearly all of its drinking water comes from the sea. so from the mediterranean sea,

through that process, into this private, into my comp, in one and a half hour, that's through the skirt pretty good to in another one and a half hours, it can reach the galilee topping up this regional water source. water has been an issue in the middle east for hundreds of years and has often been a source of conflict many here. now hope that this program will not only show up water supply here in israel, but also be away for israel to build and strengthen ties with once enemy states like jordan water was an important part of the peace treaty between israel and jordan, signed in the 1990s, that deal to supply 50000000 cubic meters of drinkable water, was doubled in 2021. water from the sea of galilee is brought downstream here through these grain pipes. and you can say behind make it stored here in the last pumping station in israel before it makes its way through. those pipes over into

jordan last year is ran a great to double the jordan water deal again in return for energy that made putting new water in the galilee even more crucial. this was a, an excellent win win situation. we can bring water back to the sea of galilee and improve its quality, raised a lever and find a solution for excess disseminated water. if the recess expert say this multi $1000000.00 project could make the galilee a sustainable water source the years to come to argentina now where missy magna has group the country since the food co. since the football stars return to play a friendly against panama. leona massey was mobbed by a crowd of fans when he left the steak house in the capital borne. his salary's thursdays sold out mat, be his 1st game with argentina's in the squad one. the world cup. messy has been
