a peaceful solution to the war. or commission president said that the president she had stated during talks that he was willing to talk with ukraine's president zalinski when the time was right. and she emphasized at china's importance in promoting a just peace. this visit is taking place in challenging and increasing volatile context in particular, because of russia's war of aggression against ukraine. china's position on this is crucial for the european union. as a member of the un security council, they is a big responsibility. and we expect that china will play its role and promote a just peace one that respects ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity. one of the cornerstones of the u. n. shop a 2nd, look at their cent were of our russia, corresponded to chicago, shanowsky,

who's reporting from the latvian capital regus insert russia shut down. our moscow bureau, brussels corresponded jack parrot is with us as well. welcomed both of us thought with you jack. how successful as is true, been yeah, hard to tell really. i mean, certainly as of on the line managed to get her message across to the chinese, which is that they, she believes they play a fundamental role in using their leverage to try and get russia to stop its war in ukraine. she says she feels she can count on the chinese in order to do that, firstly, to not send legal weaponry to russia to aid in its war, and also to try and use it to pressure moscow to make sure there is no nuclear threat or no threat of nuclear weapons being used. she's said she, she's made those points, but what we don't know is how the chinese of received those. and whether they're willing to do so. we know that the chinese president, she, jim ping, has expressed according to the lion that he's willing to speak to broader miller zalinski has not ever had a phone call with the ukranian president since the invasion since he's been

president of ukraine. but we don't know when that will happen or what he'll be willing to say. and really that's the measure of success from a european point of view, whether they've managed to persuade that chinese around their way of thinking ga. gov seminar sky. do you think this visit has done anything to bring the past the prospect of peace in ukraine any closer at least not for the moment and kremlin has actually dismissed the idea of the chinese mediation. this portion of the russian president said that and he, that kremlin does not see any prospects for political, a subtle man at the moment. the crime also sees no other way than to continue this so called special military operation. and it's consistent with russia's position on this issue we're from, from, from before russia didn't engage substantially on the 12th point plan to the proposition that beijing has proposed back in february. and i think it's the are

several reasons for that. russia in the last, the russian leader she can, the last week we have been sending signals to its population to, to, to russians, telling them to prepare for a long conflict. and any talk of peace settlement at the moment could actually bring other expectations in the, in the russian society. it could also the mobilize the state military sector and harm to war effort. and i think ultimately russia also wants to demonstrate demonstrate and manifest some sort of autonomy on this issue. and autoline from china and russia. neither said many times that a he says, ukraine as russian fewer influence. and i think of russia will be pursuing a settlement on its own, not on b jinx terms. ok, thank you for that, joe sherman of ski in latvia and jack barrack, in brussels. thank you. back and the middle east and several rockets have been

fired on north and israel from lebanon is not known who was behind the attack, but lebanese reports, the silva was lodged from palestinian refugee camps. i gotcha rocket appears to have damaged the colonies ring town for sumter. shaley army says it successfully intercepted more than 2 dozen missiles. escalation comes after classes this week between israeli police and palestinians inside jerusalem's. our accent mosque is lumps 3rd earlier sacked like a respondent. tanya cramer in jerusalem, talk me through what happened? well, shortly on this afternoon, before 3 o'clock, the air is air raid sirens went off across a northern israel. as rockets were fired on southern lebanon into israel. now the army has just released a statement saying that they have identified 34 rockets where fired into israel.

25 of them are at least we're intercepted by the iron dome. our defense system is really rescue services have said that at least one person was lightly injured and there has been also some damage. as you have said, de an un mission uniform has also just released a statement, confirming a multiple launch or of rockets or this afternoon from southern lebanon towards israel, and speaks about that the current situation is extremely serious. now no group has claimed responsibility for this, and this of course comes after day. you see in violent escalation in easter shipped to slam or when the israeli police stormed actually twice the alex on was compiled, went into the mosque and you know, those videos are where police officers are beating. are people inside the mosque and arresting people in response to that? are there have been already a rocket attacks from militants in garza launched towards israel on wednesday.

right. and that the israel response that lisa i and own protection system and apparently rockets of its own here, this is what we understand that most of them were intercepted at the moment. but at the moment what we understand is the defense minister and the chief of staff and also of course, prime minister benjamin netanyahu. there they are holding a security assessments. and then there will be a security cabinet meeting as well. this is a time, it's a holiday today. it's pesa. a lot of people also vacationing up north and media here are talking about, you know, one of the serious, most serious escalation are between israel and lebanon since the war in 2006. i swear tonya, tonya kramer in jerusalem is look at more stories making news around

place it's tactical, say lessons in battle roost. move of stone condemnation from the west kremlin has dismissed the criticism. say that he is a response to nato expansion shut nato secretary general against dalton bouts. and the deployment contradicts a recent russian chinese statement saying that countries should not station nuclear weapons beyond that borders. ah, this is russia's iskander and missile system able to hit targets up to 500 kilometers away. he could soon be stationed in bel roost near the polish border, carrying nuclear warheads. moscow says the scanner system has already been transferred to the bell. russian military and troops have reportedly arrived in russia to learn how to use it. russia claims the move is a response to nato, increasing its combat readiness and adding finland as a member. made official earlier this week. ready, whistler, under these circumstances we are taking retaliatory measures defending the security

of the union state life. bel ruth has been a close ally to russia since the invasion of ukraine, which was partly launched from bella, russian territory. since then, the russian and bell russian militaries have carried out multiple joint exercises. russian nuclear warheads are scheduled to arrive in values in july. shift over belarus is authoritarian leader, alexander lucas, chicago said the nuclear weapons weren't just for show of orderly rain, stylish on you, put the ukrainians, believe that they will win. well, this is nonsense. it is impossible to defeat a nuclear power if the russian leadership realizes that the situation threatens the collapse of russia than what the most awful weapons will be used to rational missouri. my position, the united nations disarmament affairs chief, has warned that the risk of nuclear war in europe is higher than at any point since the end of the cold war. also an era is a senior policy director with the center for arms control non proliferation in washington d. c. he serves on the us national security council until 2020. i asked him how

much of a difference it makes it for us to place these, these nuclear weapons outside its borders? as far as the military situation is concerned, if there is so little or no difference, a russia had the capability to strike anywhere in ukraine with a nuclear weapon previously, it's still has that capability. russia had the capability to strike europe, it still has that capability. so as far as a military move, it doesn't carry any significance. it is a message, of course i was that which was my next question. so this is a message. what should we take from it? and the russian strategy for most of the last year has been very consistent when it became clear that russia was not going to win this for easily on the battlefield. they switched to a strategy of trying to persuade ukraine and the countries that support ukraine, that it would be too high a cost to continue the war that they should approach russia for some kind of peace

deal that would be on terms favorable to russia. the preferred instrument to do so has been the threat of the use of nuclear weapons. i do not believe that the russians want to use a nuclear weapon, but they have chosen to use this as a tool to change the behavior of countries they see as their adversaries. so this is a reminder of our top story at this. our european commission present to us on the line has praised a chinese lead asian pink stance against using nuclear weapons, but war that beijing arming russia would violate international commission president, is in beijing, the french president emanuel michael talks. the president g on the president has set the leaders of russia and belarus did not discuss the deployment of strategic nuclear weapons at today's meeting. but the reason that they did an exam delivery shanker is in moscow for a 2nd meeting with president. the plot is d w coming up next
