chicago for it's janelle, thank window to the war between ukraine and russia, ukraine, as president told him, is zalinski, says ukrainian forces are continuing to attack in rushes course region even as moscow presses forward on the front lines in the don't bass of this for the released by ukrainian special forces shows strikes on russian pontoon crossings. in the course, the area you create is already destroyed at least 3 bridges over the river, same as it seeks to create a buffer zone. in the border region, most scale claims its troops had stopped ukraine's advance. ukraine's incursion has added the further incentive for russia to recruit soldiers for the front line. one of the motivations for soldiers to sign up seems to be money with cash offered to volunteers, but it appears near recruits are being sent a course which is causing some descent amongst their families. these men are ready
10:06 pm
to join the ranks of the russian army after your cranes incursion. at least according to russian stay. tv will wish it almost as firstly to help my country. my people beat the fascists and get back the territory. they cease to the beginnings of watching a typical propaganda narrative on state tv. russia says it's fighting what it claims are ukraine and nazis on its own soil. the news report claims money is, is what's driving people to sign a contract with the defense ministry. even though it does mention a one time payment of $2000000.00 roubles almost 200000. average russians would have to work at least 2 years to earn that kind of money in poorer regions even longer. so there is a part of the population coming from the blue wrist regions and it was the beneficiaries of the war. we can not signal that money is important for these
10:07 pm
people. the large amounts of money which i propose, which i promote it today, but it is russian officials in exchange of the human life is something which is conceded in both sides of the deal as the kind of acceptable deal. ukraine says it has captured hundreds of russian soldiers since the start of its incursion. 80 percent of them are believed to be conscripts or after ukraine's 1st advances on russian territory. mothers of drafted soldiers called on president poor to to remove them out of the course region. now this chechen special forces commander has harsh words for those parents. i use the vs. you to, if you're 18 year old children are already serving. and do you think they shouldn't defend their homeland when it's being attacked by the enemy or to have one question for you? what to use you and your children to this country. rush us as around 6000 soldiers
10:08 pm
have been killed, and ukraine, experts believe the number to be much higher with some estimates. putting them at around $300000.00 the russian defense industries. now running as like these reading real man belongs here to recruit more soldiers. the major strategy of the russian government for today is the pointing the mos mobilization must mailed to him about his ation in the whole russian population and trying to uh, categorize to target mobile and rebuttal, a tourist and not the productive category. so the population, you know, the to filling the gaps in the, um, on the rims, but at least according to russian state tv, there is still enough volunteers left to russian. president vladimir putin says
10:09 pm
economic and trade links with china or yielding results. he made the comments after welcoming chinese premier lee chung to the kremlin. moscow has stepped up tides with aging after being hit with western sanctions there bilateral trade hit record highs last year. 2 countries have just signed a new joint investment plan. earlier, lee met with russia's prime minister chinese premier. the chung has arrived in moscow for talks with his russian counterpart. that's me try it, let me just and you can see any a relationship as close as lips and team. not sure about specific issues. club. i noticed was trying to supreme leader, she jim paying is a close ally of russian president vladimir putin. she famously declared that his country's friendship with russia had no limits from china and russia have ramped up economic cooperation and diplomatic contacts. and beijing has brought me back to russia's war and ukraine. it stopped short of sending weapons as it fears being
10:10 pm
sanctioned by the west. although nasal was branded beijing, a decisive enabler of the war. and pressure was growing on paving to scale down its backing from oscar. from moscow, lead travels to minsk another close relationship. the chinese of describe better routes and beijing is being all weather comprehensive strategic partners. in july, better roost joined the china letter lines of states called the shanghai cooperation organization. july also saw a major joint display of fire power by chinese and better russian forces. just 5 kilometers from the border with poland. what it means that operation equal to sold was carefully timed to coincide with the nato summit and jangled nerves into european union. these visit to both countries will highlight the broadening alliance of all the project states where china and russia are creating a platform for countries such as better. ruth rum on north korea. we're
10:11 pm
joining me here in the studio now is our in china analysts, clifford kuhn and clipper. it's good to see. you know, this month we, we saw foreign troops, ukrainian troops going into russian territory. that's the 1st time rush. i have seen 4 and troops on that soil since 1945. makes me wonder what kind of russia is china now dealing with. i think it's a very different russia from the one that it's developed as close friendship with. there's every reason to believe that the china knew that russia was going to invade ukraine in advance. that had been given a heads up. i think on, on that basis there was a belief that things will be over quite quickly. that hasn't happened. and now we have this latest development that you have a trim ukrainian troops and cos can that must be quite shocking in some way through the chinese. the idea of foreign troops on silver and territory is, is one of the nightmares of the chinese communist party leadership. do you think this is making beijing perhaps quietly recalibrate this relationship?
10:12 pm
because i think a lot of the panelists, as you're saying, thought that this was going to be, you know, a quick, a quick and dirty more. yeah, i think china is suffering its economy is, is not growing as quickly as, as it once was. it's facing a lot of pressure from the west for its backing for russia, and i think it, it told initially that it could, it could withstand this pain. it could take this, this pain, as long as it was going to be over quickly, but now it needs these micro chips that are being withheld because of its support for russia. it needs all the, it needs the economy to get going again and it's very difficult for to do that as long as the west is, is on happy with his backing for china. so i think it, i think the relationship is becoming a lot more complicated. what does this mean then for, for this no limits partnership that, you know, that wasn't reported? declared a couple years ago. mean, what does it mean now, when it seems, i mean, you mentioned in your introduction as well that the relationship is bang results, but they seem to be bang results for russia because ultimately china is investment
10:13 pm
and i'm trying to support seems to be helping the russian economy i keep going on, i'm trying is obviously beneficial from people, but ultimately i think it's, it's suffering. so i think um, i think there's no limit. the partnership is still there, but it's not, it's not quite as close as it once was. and each young i was only is only 2nd in combined, or you just huge and paying. but you will have to have some sort of power to say, you know, you need to get your house in order. when i ask you about a report there, mid reports that a classified document was approved earlier this year by us president biden. that report mentions a plan to contain china under what is known as the china nuclear threat of president bind has been asked about that. he said this is just normal, is nothing out of the ordinary, but i'm wondering what does trying to have to say to this report of china and surprisingly is not happy. i mean, i, the wife has said to the plan was approved earlier this year and wasn't a response to a single country that may or may not be true. but i think it's fairly clear that
10:14 pm
china is the focus of this at china as about $500.00 warheads compared to $5000.00 each in russia, in the us. so in some ways, trying to feels that it has an argument here that again china had for hundreds or heads this time last year. so it's growing, it's are some very quickly and i think this is a response to that. it's also a response to a possible coordinates is attack, we do if a russian of china and north korea, for example, actors and ones on another thing. a big thing in nuclear proliferation at the moment is nukes and space. john is building a space program. they're worried about nuclear weapons in space. so all of these are coming together, i think are driving down to the lot of factors there to consider because there's always gonna help you studio. thank you. all right, let's take a look now and some of the other stories that are making headlines around the world . funerals that have been held for 2 is really hostages, whose bodies were recovered from gaza on monday. is really troops retrieved
