0 d w the, this is the, the, the news coming to line from berlin, adult and relations between the world's 2 superpowers. us present to abide and says there's real progress in his 1st face to face talks. and the year with china is leaders, each in pain. let's say they want better relations despite lingering tension. also coming up demon demands, humanitarian pauses in gaza. the security council adopted 1st resolution since the start of the war, calling for immediate access to provide a israel rejected the bio to mit ongoing fighting at a hospital, it says

a mazda is using as a command, so the hello i'm terry martin. welcome to the program. us present, joe biden says he's made real progress and talks with china is leadership region paying. the 2 met for 4 hours during a summit of asian pacific nations in san francisco. it was their 1st face to face encounter in a year. both leaders say they want to improve strange relations between the 2 superpowers. they announced new cooperation in areas including narcotics, a i, and military communications or tensions persist though over trade and china is territorial claims on taiwan. despite the someone's careful planning, president biden referred to she as a dictator, while speaking with journalist making has criticized comments as irresponsible

well present. biden said the us and china would try to communicate better both diplomatically and personally, were re assuming military to military contact, direct contacts as to why the press no follow this. that's been cut off has been, were worse, and that's how accidents happen. misunderstandings, so we're back to direct open, clear direct communications on the right of a direct basis. in the months of head, we're going to continue to preserve and pursue high level diplomacy, the p. r. c. in both directions. keep the lines of communication open, including between present sheets and me. he and i agree that these are what else could pick up the phone call directly on whether you heard me. it. earlier i spoke to journalist bobby and chris about in beijing in the w. william blue cross here in berlin now began by asking william whether present button god, what do you want it from these talks while his bite and himself said after this

meeting trust. but verify that old almost cliche expression from foreign policy circles. expectations were very low, but it was expected given talks and, and dialogue going into this meeting that this re establishment of military to military contacts. at high level, a direct contacts between the 2 leaders would be re established. um, that's a small step, but it should not be underestimate how important that step is because as we heard in that clip from joe biden, accidents can happen. it wouldn't be the 1st time that 2 countries faced a crisis due to simple miscommunication. so just having that literally a phone call, a way to clear to clarify things is important and is especially important given how differently the united states in china view the world which just opens up that much more possibility for miscommunication. so that alone is something of a success for biden. but again, as he said, a time will tell just how committed the 2 sides are to making good on some of the

promises they talked about in this meeting. fabi on how constructive were these talks from a chinese perspective. so quite constructive, all the science that i'm hearing a rather positive, i'm just after the meeting of 40 minutes. so long. e in san francisco, a step in front of the press and describe the talks as a wherever you well, i mean, they went very well quote unquote. and also if you look at the rhetoric of a seating ping, it was quite accommodating. i would say for example, he said that um a china has no plan to so a pass um, uh, the u. s. and that, you know, the world is big enough to accommodate both countries. and then later when he had to do that with a bite, and he also mentioned that um, china is willing to be a partner and a friend of the u. s. i know this is a rhetoric and we was have to see whether a china will also deliver it and when it comes to actions. but i would say it's

quite a good sign. and when i, the indicators they drink the q and a at that the president bite and gave it to what's the press that he called seating thing? a dictator. now that could have blown up here and getting picked up by state media in china, but sofa. i haven't seen that so i guess they don't want to spoil the moot and run the potty. william. the 2 leaders also talked about taiwan plenty of potential there for ruining the party. it's one of the most explosive issues in relation to between the us and china. what came out of that discussion about taiwan, really right. it is a major pressure point between the 2 sides. the readout from the white house was extensive. i mean, you, these readouts are usually, you know, a paragraph for too long. this was an essay and just a laundry list of issues of which taiwan really only occupied a couple sentences. nonetheless, it was an opportunity for the 2 leaders to just face to face, say, where the red lines are,

and that's what's important here is red lines. it's not that there's going to be piece, it's not that either sides going to get their way. these are be taiwan or any other issue. it's an understanding of where the red lines are to exactly, to avoid those kinds of miscommunications that we were talking about earlier. and it seems, at least while the status quo hasn't changed 5 and it's sticking to the one china policy that's been long term policy for the united states. and she has stuck to his vision that one day tie one will be part of the mainland china, at least the 2 side states out there claims to each other and what their limits are to help going forward. that they will not be those kinds of miscommunications. as a potential classes that could lead to something very disastrous and the taiwan straits. so an important face to face meeting between the 2 leaders of the opening up of military direct military communications between the 2 countries. all sounds quite good of probably and can we expect more face to face talks like this going forward? yeah, definitely. i see one of the results that was announced,

it was also more human to human exchanges. of course you can apply that on the political level, but also there will be more i'm student exchanges between the us and china, more direct flights. i mean, this is really important after those 3 years of, of isolation that china had behind itself. like also because of the pen demik with a late to also because of political reasons. it's important that the 2 sites talk again as a, you know, to prevent any em escalation. we've seen that in the major conflicts, you know, we cannot find any um solutions, but i don't, i don't think this can be the goals. i mean, the discrepancies in, you know, issues like taiwan human rights, sol, stock that, um, they seem unsolved at this point, but at least both the sites now have demonstrated that they probably can talk more constructively or manage those discrepancies. yeah. and then more constructive way, and i am expecting actually that there will be more communication. and i think of also for the international community business. good news. man. william,

thank you both very much. that was dental is bobby and chris about in beijing and w. william blue crocked here in berlin to you as security council has adopted a binding resolution calling for urgent extended pauses in the gaza strip to allow aid access also called on from us and israel to protect civilians. especially children. meanwhile, is really army has released a video, which it says provides evidence that how mouse was using the i'll ship a hospital and gaza as a command center complex. mosse denies the claims and the images have not been independently verified. for military kids, for one mouse service alive, renee munition, funding, versed with insignia both and of course uniforms. i left the police founder of april 7th. we switched age sages via or is prove it to mass was using al she for

hospital as a command center. as a mass and the hospital is management denied the claims and all but now what do you as well defense for us to say they have evidence behind the american machine. and we're not as well as military climb. the video shows caches of weapons and other equipment. this is left behind by the minutes tops. absolutely no business being inside the hospital. i mean, it's a my, a lot of these findings in the she for hospital approved unequivocally that it was used for terrorism in complete violation of international law who's moved up that dean. i've been lo, me been now those and see how my son has dismissed israel. is claims, as quote, lies and propaganda to the right or surgery. widespread international condemnation is an ios military incursion into on chief i hospital. in guys i city is totally unacceptable. hospitals out of not bunch of grounds. as

with the humanitarian crisis in garza becoming ever more desperate, the united nations security council adopted its fast resolution on the conflict. 12 of the 15 members boxed the resolution calling for an urgent and extended humanitarian pauses. russia, united states and the united kingdom, abstained. un security council resolutions are legally binding, but with feelings running high all around the cool suppose is, may well go on heard sketchup on a few of the stories making headlines today. the u. n's nuclear watchdog says it ran has now enriched enough uranium for several atomic bombs. iran denies it's developing nuclear weapons, but the un agency says around has increased as uranium stockpile. traces of also

been found. undeclared sites. you case, new foreign minister david camera has traveled to keep on a surprise visit. it's the x prime ministers 1st working trip abroad. ukrainian president, blog and me as a landscape says he is grateful for the support at a time when the conflict in gaza is drawing attention away from you, correct? it was like a court in russia is due to him down it's verdict later today in the case of an art is charged under the country. strict war time censorship laws. alexandra sculpture lanka faces several years in prison after being arrested last year for replacing supermarket price tags with stickers criticising the war, a new crank. she denies the formal charge of knowingly spreading false information about the russian or this is a comic book by russian artist, sasha. so she lingle in it. she explains what depression is and type to support

a relative or a friend who suffers from it. so but now sasha herself needs support. she's been in detention for one and a half years accused of spreading so called fake news about the russian army, friends, relatives, and even people who have never met her are trying to draw attention to her case. one of them is bars romanoff. inactive is from st. petersburg. he knows exactly what it's like to be and sasha's position. he was arrested for breaking the same law passed by russian lawmakers in the 1st days of the full scale invasion of ukraine. would bars manage to escape russia and is now in germany. he, i chose to do it at the will. i feel a sense of responsibility showing that i was sharing information about political prisoners before some way as the now since my whole life has been turned upside

down because of the rest. and i had to leave my country and stuff over. i feel even more info run over the i just was a little confusing the phone number of, of which on this website you process a. sasha saki land go, was arrested in april 2022 for replacing supermarket price tags with demands to end russia's war and ukraine. prosecutors are seeking an 8th year sent. it says punishment, which our relatives and friends believe is inhumane. as i say yes the, i'm just trying not to think about it too much. so basically i'm hoping for a miracle, because i know very well that a heavy present sentence will be a catastrophe for the show or the what the prospect of us throw of sasha as well being is what her mother is concerned about. most the 33 year old has several illnesses under health is deteriorating in detention due to a lack of medical assistance. we're almost the she to so why is it because she's

a very strong person story, the but it won't cost. i just push the photo away because i'm really afraid i still come see the end of this process or buyers. you look at the union use recall and in fact, it probably helps me to survive because there is no end in sight. but i don't know how it's going to end. even in detention, sasha continues to drool friends, publisher, prison diary on a website. they also sent a box of her books to bar it's in germany. most of them have been sold and the money used to pay, so to land goes lawyers to continue helping her virus not wants to publish your book in germany. if you're watching the w news, just reminder of the top story we're following for you this our us present, joe biden has failed. what he called real progress and talks with china is leaders, agent being in california. those leaders said they want to improve relations
