i saw the food st needs friends with a well set, a gave sam because of his full scale evaluation of ukraine. the russian president has now well come the all my plates are trying to be soon to be be f, f. kim jones on of north korea, united states history, pre emptive warnings about the consequences of any steel between the 2. a. well, president kim is told the world is he and person will be together in the fight against imperialism. so how long will this relationship last? i'm feel go invalid and this is the day the russian is negotiating potential deals for significant quantities and multiple types of munitions at his. he was a huge and i installed it stopped also gone to the shelves and the complaint against your brain to see him travelling process. a country hadn't had to big came

john for military assistance, the ends justify the means. and russia's principal priority right now is to be successful in ukraine. the idea that any nation would give that munitions to a country that has committed crimes against nowadays also on the day republicans in the united states as low as that impeachment inquiry into presence by them. an example of justice being done or is revenge for the democrats and patient. donald trump, or some of us are distressed about this because we thought the less than the next. and peach meant that wasn't really adhere to in the clinton impeachment. was it really the level of seriousness of the allegations really has to be at a high level before you go forward? but now it looks like we're involved in a tit for tat situations. welcome to the de north

korea's, came, jo on has pledged his full and unconditional support for the rest is not an approved in the to international outcast of mass investors. far east with an agenda believe to have included brushes designed for access to north korea's soviet base, the weaponry president kim is said to be seeking russian food i and helping developing the treat become a some satellites. so how long will this relationship of convenience last time you had them raising this last to friendship for sure. but i would like to make it because this is a future strengthening of cooperation and friendship between our countries, between the russian federation and the democratic people's republic. of korea, the meeting between north korean leader kim jong on and russian president vladimir putin, wasn't able to meet 2 of appreciation to go to court together with comrade bruton. we've just had an elaborate discussion about the middle tree and

political situation on the korean peninsula. and europe and have come to the conclusion that we need to further intensify strategic and tactical cooperation to ensure safety guarantee a long lasting peace, both in the region and the whole world. the to lead is each becoming increasingly isolated on the global stage. but looking to show that they have each of those back kim jones on the, on the line, he's ongoing support. so russia against what he called the thrust of german just forces against its silver, into the united states. his wounds that north korea could be preparing to supply russia with military equipment to boost its capabilities in ukraine. the pen took a tour of rushes, the stuff me cost me dry and the country is most important. rocha launched into

on the less believe that north korea wants russian advice on how to improve its own real kits and reconnaissance satellites. for russian officials down play the fact that the summit could be a cause for concern for other countries. but that will do little to come west and fee is about this flourishing friendship that's pretty much dealt with. delta john pock, who is director of the hob kennedy schools, korea project to joins us from cambridge, massachusetts. so welcome to the w delta. let's start with that mind from that came jones on where we need to further intensify strategic and tactical cooperation to ensure safety. i guarantee a long lasting peace, both in the region and in the whole world. what do you think about me is in concrete terms? sure. i think that's a really fancy way of saying here are 2 leaders who are now in a problem solving relationship. each party is able to help the other in

a very specific and unique way. for example, with putting in is lead for munitions on the battlefield and ukraine. north korea, as we've heard, clearly has those munitions and stock piles and also has production capabilities that can be rammed up potentially to the north korean side of the low church gym. as a very specific problem in terms of his s o p program, a space launch vehicle program when the final stages just not been able to, after 2 successive tries, added to put the what they call a military satellite into organ. and so from that lands i think it all boils down to the 1st set of these problems and to see how these 2 leaders are going to be able to solve the what doesn't put well is that if we are able to solve those, what other problems will bring into this kind of relationship, we don't seek the solutions and work together in a very cooperative manner. okay, so no word from the within these meetings which i understand how have not concluded . so what will you be looking for over the coming weeks and months as

a signal of what has been agreed and indeed, what may be the being delivered of what are the unique things that's happening right now the united states is releasing intelligence to try to rain on the parade for trying to get the parties involved to rethink what they're about to do or what they're currently doing. so i do think we're going to see the us release information, things along the lines of tracking trains, other types of logistics, and moving those munitions from north korea to russia. when did the unique things here is that there is no 3rd party or 3rd country entry point is directly going to go from north korea all across the expanse of russia into the battlefield and ukraine. the 2nd thing to keep an eye out for is it's pretty clear from the north korean perspective here, the space launch vehicles are things that by nature, are very high profile things that they can't really conceal. this is an interesting area because as much as north korea is aspiring to put that military satellite into orbit russia helped to ron,

put their kite satellite into or be in august of 2020 to a very similar type of arrangement that point. and kim have hammered out in this particular instance as well. so it would be watching very closely in terms of noise . cris attempts next time with a space launch vehicle and trying to put that military satellite and told him, you mentioned something in passing, which you don't hear a lot about it because there's always a lot of focus on the potential for buying weapons and new nations. but you also talked about manufacturing capacity. just explain what you meant. if you look at it, it's a, a unique type of relationship north prey. it has all of these capabilities in stock pile as well as the production facilities because they're from the soviet union. and over time, north korea, certainly innovative to increase their production capacity on their own. but again, today, these are types of molds and blueprints that are routed and traced back to the soviet union. and so from that time period and looking at russia and what they're using right now, there's

a type of symmetry that doesn't really exist to into any other country. if north korea is to increase production in terms of munitions, they're likely to get fresh in assistance on that side. but that would be almost like a joint venture. one thing that i think we, we need to add to the analysis here, less of the arm seller and in arms. clients type of situation would very much this type of pragmatic, practical problem solving partnership that i see element that's different here. and that's the element that's quite true. right. and so this, this relationship of convenience does, does russia have red lines? and when it comes to closing up to a new friend, for example, a boots and so forth. a un security council sanctions against john young when it accelerates its nuclear in this office in 2016 and 17. so this the, all the conditions or 4 minutes or live rouse more or less remove the red line. he basically said that those sanctions previously were from a different geo political time period. so he's basically saying north korea and

what they're dealing with is space launch vehicle program is something that is in around that. russians as nicely as a violation of sanctions, per se. and the fact that russia held the ron do that a little over a year ago gives you a sense of this kind of precedent setting. but the root of, of all of this is the notion that the 2 countries are very focused on using their respective capabilities. to help the other and have this arrangement so that for the initial set of problems, they have what other problems that they can entertain in terms of capabilities. one is using cyber capability, cyber criminals, that both states and resumes have used, essentially to steal crypto and have as a revenue generating source. so those are areas that already independently the 2 countries are doing. if they were to cooperate in this fashion, they could scale up and that certainly wouldn't be a red line, but what both of these things really need which are increased revenue streams. and you mentioned that as a 2nd level, it was clear that he doesn't think that this sort of corporation,

the sort of balance exchange outboard a full file of the un security council resolutions. the rest of the world clearly has other ideas about this. if there is evidence of this happening, where does this leave russia, which of course is a permanent member of the security council of russia in close collaboration with china has been very consistent in blocking any efforts and the security council to introduce new sanctions. resolutions that's been going on for a number of years now. i think the whole part of the north cris capabilities enhancing the space launch vehicle, putting a military satellite into work and doing that though introduce, has the opportunity to e. n a. the possibility of north crypt find those lessons learned to advancing their intercontinental ballistic missile program as well. that's an area where it could unsettle the balance of power and the green potential, the dynamics there in north gray, using those capabilities, testing them, in that sense, demonstrating capabilities as were before for russia. here,

those several possibilities don't seem to be a part of the calculation. if anything, the whole idea of how they can build out this practical relationship. faucet, i think transfer writes, i guess through that dr. young pop from the harvard kennedy schools career project . thank you. of the rest that looks at 4 months of devices. political debate following the decision to begin investigation into by the president biden should be a page, a us house majority leader coming the coffee claims evidence having the showing what he called a culture of corruption in the bible family. the allegation centered around the accusation of the president personally profited from his son hunter. biden's foreign business dealings allegations are not new and were 1st made during the trump administration. catherine ross is a professor of law at george washington university law school in washington. i

welcome to the w professor to be clear republicans at the moment of talking about an inquiry into whether to stop impeachment, process valve and starting an impeachment process itself as well. it's a little unclear uh the leaves are of the house of representatives. republican group of speaker mccarthy announced that they was asking the committees to begin an inquiry as he also said that he was going to skip the usual and apparently required step of asking the full house of representatives to vote on beginning of formal inquiry. um, because it seems he would not have enough votes on their public concern with susan all the way through to for said if, if it does look like you'll get the most, we'll just skip through that. do you say, do you see that being enough evidence to justify this inquiry?

there is no evidence at all. and in fact, many senior level republicans have admitted an interviews that they have no evidence. and the senator grassley awhile back, not with respect to this impeachment proceeding, but he actually said we have no interest in finding out what the truth is. so they have already called many witnesses. this. they have reviewed more than $12000.00 pages of documents, including financial records that the buttons involuntarily transferred over that they didn't have to. uh, and they have not come up with a single thing they can point to. right. so if they're not interested in finding out what the truth is, what do you think they really want to do? this is a political grab standing. it is a power play. it is another example of the way in which very tragically

the republican party has moved away from being a responsible party participating in governance to a party that is interested in retaining power at all costs and promoting. and authoritarian leader in the form of the former president. um, it is also, i think, intended to distract the american people from uh, some very important news, both about the legal troubles of the former president and his indicted co conspirators. now that the decisions are coming almost daily from the court's ruling against the president and his allies and the trials are about to start and they don't want this coverage focused on that. but it is also about the interest family warfare. what i've done among the republicans in the house because

speaker mccarthy had a very hard time being elected to that position. and as part of the deal that he ultimately cobbled together after more than a dozen sales votes, he gave the far right republicans. he said, i mean there's essentially everybody in the party, the option of calling for him to step down in the middle of his term. and he was being pressed very hard from the right, including 5 people's wed recently met with the former president and moral law. though they were saying we're going to force you to give up your office if you don't begin the impeachment proceedings and he can talk to them. so i mean, quietly with no, no evidence of wrongdoing and apparently no interest in finding out the truth. where does this go to, where does it and how does it end as or does it go to? it's a wonderful question. in normal times, it would just sputter out it would come to

a grinding halt because presumably they will still not find anything. unfortunately . um, they are probably gonna issue subpoenas which will not be enforceable because the full house never voted to begin the inquiry. uh so what there be court battles over that? oh well, president 5 and say i'm not going to be like trump was. i'm not going to be like the republicans refused to testify before committees. i'll turn on keep turning it over. maybe he will, and presuming they find nothing should end there. but i don't think it will because they've made it so clear. this is not a serious proceeding, it's not a bad governing, it's not about a legitimate oversight or separation of powers. so it is quite plausible that they will bring this to about on the floor 1st floor of the house, and whether to impeach, they may, will not have the votes because there are still

a handful. i think of republicans who won't go along, especially with an election with me. right. but in this time of crisis here and such a weapon, this ation and politicization of every thing. i just don't, i wouldn't feel comfortable placing a bet on right ends. i did want to come to the about that point of the impeachment proceedings were once ran, now they seemed to have become a common place. has the boss for impeachment got low off people just more and more inclined to reach for it. it's hard to see that there's a bard all right now, and i would hope that this proceeding and as such a calamity that republicans will be embarrassed and that both sides will learn the less than on how and when impeachment should be properly invoked could. so have you thank you for joining us,

professor professor catherine ross from george washington university law school. thank you. o u. s. government has issued a recommendation that almost all of us citizens get annual come out of honors vaccine shots. the advice comes as us hospitalizations for crowd of auditors are on the increase vaccine shots for children as young as 6 months have been approved by the us food and drug administration. hundreds of deaths due to code on the virus that we quoted you each week in the us campaign to encourage people to get drugs to make these to, to begin in a few days that's bringing an epidemiologist and co founder of the world health network. dr. erica cycled thing. welcome to d, w doctor, and many of us. so to find out because, oh, but why is the u. s. a recommending that americans get shots every year to well, you know, we wish it's over,

but clearly the data shows that it's not. we're not just talking about mild cases, we're talking about, for example, destiny us, a doubled hospitalizations, have tripled in your visits have quadrupled in the past month, month and a half. and so we're in the beginning of another waves. and right now they're very and so we have a very highly evolved into different than previous waves. this is why re infections are at all time high as well. so these are very big pieces and they are clearly sending people to the hospital. so it's, it's not just a mild and even then we know that mild has lots and consequences. that's why the cdc has recommended these new boosters that they've been testing all year for the general population. and it's even shows there's benefits for children, not just the elderly. so there's like, why do recommended for everyone? 6 months old. and you told me about a doubling and quadrupling of,

of hospitalizations and the number of cases, perhaps you could put some fingers on it. how many cases, how many hospitalizations are you see? so cases are really hard to measure because not much testing, but hospitalizations. uh, you know, it's, it has tripled across the us and in, in parts of new york is as actually more than 5 ext. um, so i think, you know, it is lower then of course during 20202021. but i think people need to understand that, you know, despite being lower, these numbers are still overcrowding, hospitals and you know, we might be about a quarter or like where we were like last winter. but in terms of the delta variance, we were actually about the about the same level hospitalization, um as the delta variance um across the us. so it's still quite a lot and i think people under appreciate that. and unless you're in the hospital,

you know, we out in the restaurants and shopping malls, it's out of sight out of mind. you don't see all this, but it is definitely happening. and the boosters do work, these updated boosters do work against, do you current variance, right. and so we should regard coby now as infected if i can use that. so it's with us to stay. we should protect ourselves against that. as we do, for instance, the flu to wise don't think we should accept it. first of all, we have conquered the flu and the passenger in years, it's much worse than others. and you know, we should we accept each idea either. oh, it's embedded, it's endemic. no, we're trying to eliminate that and long term using strategies, and i think in better we can just have a laissez faire attitude. besides do, sir, is i think the best thing which is even less requiring a people compliance is have clayton door. i think we should assume that these respiratory viruses will come back, but take the precaution because these,

this toby does not just another sniffle. it has long, 3 names, one and 4 people. all survivors have suffered long term lung damage as well, or even one year afterwards. and i think the also raises the heart attack and cardiovascular stroke and diabetes risk long term as well. so we shouldn't just accept it. we need to mitigate it. i think besides boosters, we also need clean indoor air. doctors accept it as i come. what may i do? we need to rethink our entire schools of workplaces to basically prevent future airborne transmission. and these be significant increases that you're talked about . should we think of this as a peculiarly american phenomenon, or should other countries be making the same recommendations to the populations? oh, yeah. was so hospitalizations, we've seen you across many places, and i don't think it's uniquely american in any way. but i do hope other countries

take heed. obviously these recommendations are recommend for everyone over the age of 6 months because i've seen u. k in australia, only recommended for those $75.00 plus $65.00 plus. and i think that's way too elderly in terms of to restrictive. we need a broad across young people in the cdc yesterday did a cost of that cost benefit analysis and the cost benefit. now is clearly show as the benefits for everyone, including children. so i think the countries are ignoring recommendations for children. i think they're making a great mistake. but we did see how political, the vaccination issue became in the us. even this people were dying in the millions, not a tov. it's no longer news doctors like yourself. good. if i said a pill bottle, i guessing people to get back those, those booster shots, or what just because it is something you as an uphill battle does not mean you shouldn't do it. that's not, you know, sometimes we go to the mood because we really want,

there is some important work to be done. and cobit, you know, even if only one in 51 and 4 people give backs and needed, that will save a lot of lives. a lot of hospitalization, lot of long term co morbidities in terms of lung damage, heart attack stroke. and i also want to remind people like, for example, u, k, u k. they're works with a number of people out of work because they're can't, they're too sick to be in the workforce. this is government data has, you know, increased to 50 percent and it's actually main contributor to the economic stagnation. so i want people to think that this is also not, not only for help, but also for the economy that we need to get people back to work healthy in a healthy society is what we want. not just, you know, complacency. and i think vaccines is just the start. i think it's very important that we get the new boosters, but also we need better clean indoor air filters,

the ventilation, upper room u. v to truly does the prevent. many other diseases including koby, also are speed, flu and many other feature index. it's okay, thank you so much for joining us. academia. i was just a eric cycled thing from the world health network. thank you so much. thank are. and that is the day for today to make sure to stay in touch so you can follow out to him on the x that dw news myself out from gale. evans likes headlines you're looking for. there's always the dw d, w dot com on page 2. thanks for spending part of your day with us. have a good the
