a number of. international issues we will now go live to our correspondent don of who's in central moscow. you can tell us about the highlights of the talks that were had today and the statement that we've just been hearing here what can you tell us about that news conference. will indeed jack you the news conference all of us have just listened to a sums up the official parts of the meeting between the 2 delegations between the russian poet and the chinese pod who i guess will welcome does guests here in the moscow grumbling right behind me in the a lot of the warm things have been said reciprocal has been reciprocal in the sense of how many warm things both sides have exchanged with each other but it wasn't the joint to woods and all the shifting towards making the exchanges the business exchanges in local currencies now of course the bilateral relations that weren't

the only ones discussed because the 2 leaders usually seize the opportunity to talk of the most pressing international crises and the dude at the media conference the told how the see eye to eye on such issues like iran venezuela and north korea with north korea being one of beijing's main proteges well the 2 countries have said that the greek that only peaceful solution is in order that the things that the crisis should be of will result peacefully now this is not the end of the program even when it comes to the business program because the chinese leaders said to settle for to sing petersburg to the same petersburg business forum in the next couple of days that would be basically like what we've seen today but on steroids still more deals we probably should expect more deals to come out of that for instance we already do know that the chinese cell phone giant wall way that it is exploring the potential of bringing the 5 g.

mobile internet technology to russia and they've already met with some of the russian counterparts to discuss that and a speaking of walk away it is. it is of course has been the pinnacle so far over the trade war between china and the united states and within the frameworks i mean would being put in a position of such a trade war the chinese leader xi jinping he talks about unilateral is and there has been some speculation in the air that chinese businesses are increasingly looking at the russian market and while they're looking to explore it more and more and i mean we sort of have seen some confirmation to that from what have come out of the kremlin from the behind the crumbling walls today now it is the official party is over the sort of the formal part a should say and it's the balance is set to tip more in favor of fun and that is the chinese the chinese gifting russia gifting the most school soon to 2 giant pandas and while the leaders there from from what we've heard at the press

conference they're quite excited to go and you know attend the official ceremony gifting those 2 giant pandas and you know quite a special occasion given how sensitive the chinese are about that species about those creatures last time the most had a chance to greet them on their home soil in their hometown was back in 2001. figures donna bring us the latest from central moscow thank you oh. a u.s. military judge has removed the lead prosecutor in the case of a navy seal accused of committing war crimes one week before the trial a serviceman has pleaded not guilty to the charges and a republican congressman himself a former soldier recently defended the accused in a way that shocked some are often has the details. the case of a u.s. navy seal accused of some pretty nasty crimes in iraq has grabbed headlines the man is eddie gallagher he's accused of murder attempted murder and

a slew of other crimes now according to reports when his team initially reported him and demanded an investigation nothing was done about it and he's teammates say they saw him taking pointless shots they say they saw him gunned down an old man in a white robe as well as a girl who was simply walking with other girls furthermore the teammates insist that he was unloading gunfire as well as rockets on the areas that were not known to have enemy forces now it all sounds pretty horrendous but some members of congress are speaking up on any gallagher's behalf congressman duncan hunter not only defends eddy's actions but says that based on his own experiences serving in iraq killing civilians is just part of the job so i was an artillery officer and we fired hundreds of rounds in a palooza killed probably hundreds of civilians if not scores if not hundreds of civilians probably killed women and children if there were any left in the in the city when we invaded so do i get judged too in addition to the other crimes that he is charged with taking a photograph of himself next to the corpse of

a captured i still combatant that he allegedly stabbed to death now congressman duncan hunter says that taking photographs with dead bodies is not uncommon i think . there's. a lot of this. so we've got a sitting member of congress who is now it mid in that he himself is guilty of the crimes for which any gallagher is now charged now what about pentagon was in military courts if mistreatment of the dead were committed intentionally it could be considered a violation of the law of war u.s. service members have been charged and punished under the uniform code of military justice for posing for pictures with human casualties by any standard. war crimes tribunal he should be brought up on charges this idea that there is 5 year and 7 year statute of limitations actually not true. of course there are

nazi war criminals that 30 and 50 years later are still brought up on charges and every one of the people in the us officers and commanders who are guilty of war crimes should and ultimately will get caught up on charges of war crimes keep in mind that trump has already pardoned michael brown hen a former soldier convicted of killing a prisoner trump's critics say that sends a bad message we're looking at a lot of different partners for a lot of different people some of these soldiers are people that have fought hard for you know we teach him how to be great fighters and then when they fight sometimes they get really treated very unfairly in this case the president is also the commander in chief of the armed forces so he is in fact undercutting the rules and regulations that contribute to good order and discipline in the military and

that to me is anathema and it's immoral those who committed the crimes such as duncan hunter defending the crimes or a navy seal operations chief edward gallagher he is facing a pardon this elected representative is to say no charges and yet chelsea manning julian the songs and albums for revealing these crimes are facing very heavy charges now that shows the absolute wallace of the united states war today that's the way they conduct war. still to come human rights lawyers are planning to sue the european union in connection with migrant deaths that and more after this short break.

welcome back the australian broadcasting corporation is vowing to continue reporting without fear after government forces carried out a raid on its sydney h.q. as part of a scandal engulfing the country it also enters on the publication of the so-called afghan files which prompted the authorities to target journalists. the search was in relation to allegations of publishing classified material contrary to provisions of the crimes act of 1914 this is the result of supporting documentation or material being presented to the court which provides sufficient suspicion that a criminal offense has been committed the files were published in 2017 and exposed operations by australian special forces in afghanistan now the report alleges war

crimes including the killing of innocent children and unarmed civilians one case involve the killing of a man and his son allegedly shot by mistake while they slept in another case an afghan detainees were shot dead after being left alone with an australian soldier now the shocking revelations were leaked to the media by a former defense lawyer david mcbride he says he tried to draw officials attention to the seriousness of the crimes before ultimately going public earlier this year the whistleblower was charged with 5 counts of leaking classified information and is expected to stand trial meanwhile a.b.c. says the raid raises concerns over the freedom of the press and public scrutiny of defense issues the broadcaster says it stands by its reporting and will continue to work in the public interest senior lecturer at australia's royal melbourne institute of technology benoit camp mark believes that the messenger is being targeted and the message ignored. these are individuals who are very dedicated to their what message not see them stopping but this is very dangerous thing this

generous will have to consider. those in this forces whether this will soon be called las vegas the genesis question won't necessarily go to jail the sources that they are using in terms of the people's lives they are very much at risk which is the agenda behind these arrests of these investigations the particular release of the files has been something you know some of the dissolution and sang for all those in the. u.s. trained military and certainly in the sense of the excess of special forces which is a very important part of the straight in ministry of culture and so in a sense the revelation of this affair also seemed to be the great sense rather than actually seeing the s.a.'s as committing crimes the issue has been more those revealing that those crimes committed you generally. human rights lawyers are

planning to sue the european union in connection with migrant deaths they argue thousands of people needlessly lost their lives crossing the mediterranean sea they say migrants rights were violated in numerous ways by the e.u. for example by scaling back the rescues in 2014 and hampering the work of n.g.o.s they also slammed the decision to send 40000 migrants back to dangerous camps in libya and to help libyan coast guards catch migrant boat but more is allowed certain statements made by e.u. leaders make it clear they were aware of the risks we spoke with 2 of the lawyers one bronco and own workshop. we're talking about one of the most serious situations in terms of going and crimes committed since the beginning of the century 14000 people died and we showed that there was a clear consciousness and willingness to let part of them these people out today intercepted by day in a way to be in close to god and now being detained. in detention camps and he

told you how is this where they are exposed to these crimes it's not that it's going to investigating the in the forest in congo it's very easy task to go to the living room and go into the archives and there to mine who was the most responsible for those crimes. the influx of refugees to the e.u. from 2015 to 2017 involved more than one and a half 1000000 people more than 12000 are reported to have died making their way over or missing southern european countries in particular italy greece and spain where the main you entry point in a spokesperson refused to comment on what they branded a non-existent legal action saying only it was a priority of the block to protect human lives the lawyers meanwhile say the e.u. has failed and that. we really hope for for you to try in this sense something that the international criminal court doesn't known for

its simple reason there's been several level of responsibility and we have to very clearly distinguish from those who executive that we do and who created the objectives that triggered this execution and you cannot you have to distinguish between people like the ministry of interior. and the commissioner if you see the most and then other lever the director from takes and then another lever the militia. but what we show is that they are all connected in a common put and which was to systematically and widespread to the dark civil population and. for it to commit crimes against humanity the most responsible doctors we charge the u.s. agents in the field shows the orchestra thing these bodies see they designed it and that to stop the shit we achieved on politico to go and goes to stem migration to europe. that's a wrap up of the day's top news for now but don't forget you can always find us on many of your favorite social media platforms like twitter and facebook cropped
