a, an engagement, it was the trail. when so many find themselves, well, the more we choose to look for common ground. ah, 10 civilians are killed in 24 more wounded off the cave. both is a shell. a city in russia is the gun republic. local officials say us applied artillery system was used in the top with the french president schools on nato, to provide security guarantees to russia in order to solve the ukraine conflict, which is exactly what most good wanted from the west. ahead to the military operations with the chairman of persons ruling conservative party has been accused of insulting the country health workers after claiming us to dry court for later this month could help

with demolition the palestinian homes by israel fox, a fresh wave of protest. people pledge to hold on to the lab with a very warm welcome to you from all of our team here in moscow. this is on the international with the very latest news update is good to have you with. i was thought with the latest from dumbass where at least 10 civilians have been killed and 24 more injured. that's off to you. credit show the city of al checks, going to look on republic. that's according to local officials, a dormitory housing refugees, and builders who had come to help reconstruct the region was partially destroyed. officials of the key f u. s. supplied hi mas multiple rocket launch was in the attack. now. 8 to the neighboring don't yet were public where ukrainian army has

a shell, the city center of the capital city don't. yes, that's according to reports on the ground. and these pictures you can see the aftermath of a large fire that broke out into buildings off the shelley, local emergency services. and now without the flame, several shells also landed on the street. and this comes off to ukrainian shelling left 12 people including 2 children wounded in don. yes, on sunday. as, according to local authorities who again stressed that artillery supplied by nato was used in the attacks. several shops and residential buildings in the center of the capital were heavily damaged and the local kindergarten also came on the fire. although no children were injured with both the locals, who said there was no military targets near by. when the attack took place. i would sure those of you know they are targeting us and for what, in whose name we have been living in this horror, all these years since 2014 looked at them after the crew in ukraine. this is how we

live in some kind of expectation that all of this is about to and what was your, your normal short shift. so as you feel don't, i thought the house had completely collapsed. and then i ran out. i saw all the windows were broken. what was it? this house a heavy damage and now we are afraid of every russell, sort of with hogan the do you are people here to children live on the 3rd floor? it's unbelievable happening. everything is covered and shuttle here. it's fortunate, there was no one industry of the walls room. if someone was here, they would have to include a meal care of his crying foul and accusing france with selling out its interests. i thought the president, mclaren, suggested roches security concerns that should be addressed to bring everyone involved in the situation and ukraine to the negotiating table. someone wants to provide security guarantees to a terrorist and killer state, instead of going back to so an agreement with russia and shake hands,

ukrainian blood. i'm good and sounds will not bother business as usual. the strange logic of corporate diplomacy to time a wish has gone on the point is on hill, on the essential points we must address. as is the fear that nato comes right over to his dog and the deployment of what it is that can threaten russia. and this is how we need to prepare what we already do, how we protect our allies and member states, and how to get guarantees to russia. the dame put her on the negotiated label on the, not a gallant. finally, someone is talking about something that vladimir putin has been saying for 30 years now. he's been st. stop expand in nate's, i'll stop the eastern expansion of nato. we heard him address in this every single year, but instead what we saw is what you can see on the map right now from the ninety's . when russia disbanded the warsaw pact, it expect that the u. s. to follow suit, or at the very least with nato at the very least not to continue growing and

expanding. but they did just that encircling russia and they expected that moscow would just sit there and take it if you will, that it would not do anything. and moscow said, we cannot afford to do that stop at already, but we've seen that those demands have been ignored time and time again. and this is something that most golf course finds unacceptable. rhetoric of dose of the 2nd integral parts ro is that one should not allow the strengthening of any one country security, the expense of the security of others. thing was, was it the world grains? it was weiss all ready to from cranium. authorities have tried to use military force, resolved the crisis in don bass. where are our guarantee? you know that they won't try it a 3rd time. if every one, once piece, tranquillity, annual asperity. tell me what is wrong with not a police and strike systems near our border to switch that through the trees for hall. now this was right before the special military up on that began, and vladimir putin. every single year. he would point this out that nato's eastward

expansion nothing was being done. and then also, in december 2021, vladimir putin suggested a collective security treaty so that russia has legally binding guarantees that nato would not only not expand east was, but would also not place to fence and weapons along the border to russia and neighboring countries. also that was completely ignored, nothing was being done. so it's hardly surprising that we saw what we're seeing now now unfold. an emmanuel micron is now saying that, hey, we need to listen to what russia is saying when it's on the stand roches security needs. so at least some one is now saying better late than never, but of course what will come out of it if anything we saw earlier. ah, that's a manual mike trauma is a sell out tell he's trying to please of vladimir putin. so let's be clear about what we've seen in ukraine. russia wasn't provoked, russia wasn't threatened, russia wasn't attacked. instead, one man shows war and prudence war is not the result of nato expansion. it is the

cause of nato expansion. it was a herd from law, the usaa secretary of defense there, mr. austin, where i would suggest, perhaps he should take a look at a map and see where russia is and where nato's forces are. they are basically and circling and circling russia. we've seen this happen over the last 3 decades. their response was russia is not being threatened. russia was not provoke both russia seized the encirclement of the country as a threat, as a provocation. this is exactly what has been talking about. what's the reaction from key of absolutely predictable? it doesn't understand why russia needs any security guarantees whatsoever. a civilized world need security guarantees from the barbaric intentions of post putin, russia. it will be possible only after a tribunal, conviction of war, criminals, imposition of large scale, reparations and bloody clarification. over leaps who's the one to blame? ukraine doesn't want to understand the reasoning behind

a russia and nato's expansion. but of course, like i said, the ukraine is not a superpower. you have to be a superpower, to understand how to think globally, and to make sure that the country the borders are defended. and when you have nato forces all around, this is something that cannot be allowed for a country of like russia and okay, the ukraine doesn't understand, but countries like the west or that you should understand. but not only do they refused to look at this aspect of the matter, but they're also say they're dismissing it. let's listen from the a you hi representative for foreign affairs and security issues. you numerous who i'm not satisfied with the reasoning and arguments with which many people, including my friends, justify aggression by saying that nato has not kept its promises. it's possible this is his strength. none of this justifies what's happening now. or perhaps that's the reason why that doesn't matter. that's his trouble. it's not history for russia, because of course, nato's forces are all around russia,

something which cannot be allowed to happen. and that's why we're seeing this unfold. and that's why moscow saying something needs to be done. maybe now we're seeing the beginning of someone trying to listen, but a manual micron has been slammed right away saying, what are you trying to do? are you trying to please moscow? stop that now. so they're trying to put a manual micron back in his place. it's almost as though they don't want to piece deal clashes have a wraps in the italian city of milan between anti war protesters and a rival demonstration. at least one police officer has reportedly been injured while trying to stop the scuffles. 0100 gathered holding flags and banners with calls to thought the army ukraine and urging an end to anti russian sanction sounds worth. the phobia i counted, demonstration was also held in the italian city in support of ukraine. security forces intervene when pro key demonstrates try to much again to the pro ration

protest. the terminal person's ruling conservative party has been accused of insulting the countries health workers by claiming a strike called relate to this month, would help vladimir putin deems a how with comments have been called ludicrous using russia's. lauren ukraine as a justification for real terms. pay cut for nurses in the u. k. as a new low for this government. the public does not believe this kind of rhetoric and wants ministers to address our dispute to ask for 90 percent pay wise, which cost any just 10000000000 pounds? i think it's the wrong thing to do, right? we have to come together. this is not a time to be divided 2 hoops and a very clear message mister fusion, that he can't use energy as a weapon in this way and we will remain unite, which is why we've accepted accepted the pay review. but i guess i can go schools, you know, 20 grand a year. you would think that maybe there are other ways of sending putin to clear message on your credit rather than the fact that you're going to have

a statement comes as nurses aren't ambulance drivers plan to strike for 2 days later this month with inflation running, it's 11 percent the royal college of nursing has asked for a raise higher than the 3 percent on offer. after more times, the host of going on to ground, say that the chairman's comments that shows how low the british government is prepared to go to push western western russia. the fact that the chairman of britons, the ruling conservative party, is telling the nurses of britain their striking is helping putin in ukraine, shows how low, according to royal college of nurses. the british government has sunk. they want to cut the pay of nurses only a few months ago. they were saying we should clap the nurses as they existed on their low pay to save human life during the co rid pandemic. today that's all but forgotten, as is forgotten, the importance of infrastructure this winter,

huge swathes of british industry will be going on strike from the mail service communications services to transport infrastructure. but it doesn't actually matter to know the leech that perhaps exist in the echo chamber, which they use on the media in britain, which is kylie restricted. some people call it totalitarian, with the banning of any kind of descent, which believes that putin is losing the war in ukraine. that the minsk agreement to un security council resolution 2202 doesn't exist. and that nurses, if anything or living is, are on far too much, money is really fighter jets that struck the southern part of palestinian garza on sunday. that was in retaliation for a miss al allegedly launched from the strip the previous night now is well claimed it's jack targeted, the weapons production facility on the tunnel belonging to hamas. local source is a palestinian force is responded with anti aircraft missiles on saturday. iraq,

it was fine from the strip into southern israel landing in an open area near the garza israel fence. no casualties were reported. the israeli army has also demolished palestinian civilian infrastructure in the west bank, including houses and schools. oh correspondence, maria phenomena has moved. we will stay the banners same, and the people here repeat from the stage and from the crowd. these are palestinians from all over the west bank come in here to send a message that cannot be misinterpreted. you know what as that idea army do in this area. they want to take off the beeble from his own land and their door to make a settlement. he added, we will fly by a international law plain this if you bishop, by outwardly de map not today or tomorrow or after to morrow. but palestine will get its independence because palestine is the hot, shall the middle east and the arab world when he to fight. and 1st of all,

we need to stay on our land and show that we are here. the will of the people will when they gathered in the west bank area known as must suffer, yet turn into sudden hebron heels to support locals who disagree with an israeli high court decision to clear this fast area of around 3000 hector is for the need of the country's army, this be many of us in the past. why those ladies will displace for this and so many court orders, the presence of the palestinian people here is the problem. our presence today is a manifestation of the window. liberalism, people under the termination percentage was i'm a big ruthless. i love big north. okay. vision. unsure the intention of every palestinian provide to the last minute to the law. so therefore, to show that vicinity for all her poster, he told, started back in the 1980s when israel claimed its army needed this area as a military training ground with no people or buildings on it. palestinians protested repeatedly, arguing they had lived in this in hospitable,

mountainous region before this state of israel appeared and ended up appealing to these rarely, supreme court. 20 years later, hearings took another 2 decades according to the decision, very, very in little decision by their supreme court date give the philistine every chance, every chance to get the evidence to show your rights. this is white procedure. 20 years. ok. 20 years of texas. of money that, that public days or to court for day. indeed the procedure to do the government for what in may early and he's here the cultural just to clear the area. no people know construction, local say the buildings were being destroyed even before they made decision. those

buildings are illegal. israel claims and response. i think it was a mistake. there was no need for a compromise, but the army, nevertheless, on for many, many compromises. and every time that hosting ins grove's approach compromises built in the area, let a few buildings without any legal permits, without any legal claim to the land. and it was all rejected. and the data shows that there are so much more illegal buildings by palestinians that are built do in order to create the posting and safe and to change the status quo on the ground. and sadly, israel, yes or if you do not demolish, and i think we should demolish much more, more than 40 years, did not bring a solution that would satisfy both sides. and it now seems the future is determined, the army and the police. going to pick them out. the building will be destroyed.

and that's it. ok. this isn't going to happen this the buildings and decorate them, but the palestinians unaltered ready to give up. oh, versions of these are a, what would be the high hopes a the non will be born will even the night now, but there will be a dollar for palestine representatives from twenty's little society organizations. i am all over the wowza bank, including defense, tend to popular resistance committees that get that here in today to get to what have families. different bullets people must have had to get a clear message to these rally government that the legal backbone might be over. but they are not ready to claim the case, a team from the way bank to mongolia now

where thousands of demonstrators have rally downslide the government's headquarters in the council. as a van tango corruption scandal of some protest is reportedly tried to stone. the building security forces i said to repel the 1st wave of riotous understanding, gone to push back any others as to what they will thought. he said, punish those allegedly responsible for embezzling $12000000000.00 and a cold purchased scamp. the government has reportedly held a special session on the situation and has requested china on go to his biggest coal info to, to assist with a probe into the missing money. well, what reports claim that the press secretary for ukraine's far right as of the kaleon has been travelling across america, visiting pro ukraine events. during his trip at dmitri present sky was pictured with hollywood actors, sean penn, a u. s. lawmaker and is reported to have even visited. the state department is

ascii, was captured by russian forces off the as all that long drawn out, surrender, and as of salt ion and still works in mario pal and released in a prison exchange. in september. the report claims that he travelled from washington to new york city, where he appeared on stage, the ukrainian concert which culminated and nationalist chance 2 years ago because ascii posted multiple posts featuring nazi symbols on his twitter page, which were late to deleted the images showed neo nazi t shirts and his wardrobe a tattoo of a double arm swastikas similar to those warned by german concentration camp dodds and also a swastika inspired pizza. today, the 26 year olds, twitter page continues to feature violent anti russian rhetoric to discuss because he tripped, we can cross live now to human labor rights lawyer, don cavallo done many things with joining us on the program. it's nice to see,

you know, this isn't the 1st time and as a member has traveled to the state. so why did they keep doing this and why does the us keep welcoming them given that extremely dubious history? well, i mean, i think we have to go back to the reality that the u. s. has been supporting nazis and even nazis hardcore nazis in crane for about 80 years. these are the friends of the us. these are the folks that the us is using its war 1st against the soviet union and now against russia. so really, it's not surprising at all. this is part and parcel of us policy per decade. you know, to remember at one or 2, there was this opperation paperclip, where the guy brought 1100 nazis from germany to the u. s. dealt with the u. s. is rock and program, again with the intent to wage war against the soviet union. so this is all very much in line with us foreign policy. what i guess is knew about it is that now

you've been have celebrities like sean penn embracing as well. i guess that was really do. it's just a few years done since i was off with a dirty work in the west. now, no one seems to remember that why the change? well, you know, george orwell wrote about this in 1984. i mean, people have been programmed now to view the ads, all battalion as, as heroes of ukraine and the fight against russia. it's an incredible thing that really we witnessed only since february, right. i mean, so the media campaign has been amazingly effective at convincing the population of the us, ironically particularly the liberal population, right. the rank and file, the democratic party, the as all battalion are the good guys, but this has been done through very calculated and sophisticated media campaign waged, you know,

it has to the state department, but by mainstream western media. do you think there's ever going to be a change? do you think we can ever expect as of to be investigated or charged with crimes in don't boss, for example, given our following this attempted, why washing of the battalion? i think russia is going to try some of those people for war crimes. i don't think the west will, you know, maybe 25 years from now people throw up their hands and say, i was a bad idea that the u. s. supported as just think it was a bad idea. we supported several vietnam and wage war against iraq and afghanistan . you know, all these things. we come to our wisdom way too late. that'll probably be true in this case. but in the short term, i think they adds up a time's gonna get a big pass from the west. what do you think these like this particular guy? what is it? what does he attempting to do by doing this poor of america, friends,

and meeting with celebrities? well, i think he is trying to make the ads all battalion palatable to the american people . and when he appears with someone like sean penn, of course many americans will say, oh, he must be a good guy. right. the other thing he's trying to do is just keep the money flowing to you. i mean, the billions of dollars that the u. s. is sent to the military there. he wants to see billions of dollars more cents. and that's part of his campaign as well. don many thanks for joining us on the program. always. great to have you want to get your insight done. kovachick human and labor rights lawyer. thank you. thank you, nicky. elsewhere in russia, as long putin has crossed the almost fully restored crimean bridge, 2 months after a section of the highway was crippled by a truck bomb. off the 1st the driving across the bridge accompanied by deputy prime minister merit who knew lynn,

the western president parks the car have to check out the pads on the bridge itself and talk to some of the people in charge back in october and explosion that people dead into laying destroyed on the british. emotional dorothy shame. yes. the us secretary of defense is that america won't allow china to influence the in the pacific region warning the washington is a line and gets budgets as never before to the challenge. the p r c is the only countries both the will and increasingly the power to reshape its region and the international order to suit its orthor, terry and preferences. so let me be clear, we will not let that happen. these next few years will set the terms of our competition with the people's republic of china that will shape the future of security in europe. and they will determine whether our children and grandchildren inherits an open world of rules and rights. or whether they face, emboldened autocrats. who seek to dominate by force and fear. president biden has

previously said, america will respect the one china policy despite the us maintaining close trade and military relations with ty, one the territory, trying to consider its own vixen out vice president of the sense of china and globalization phase. the pentagon chief is sending the wrong kind of message to beijing. i think lloyd, all students remarks are completely an indication that the united states holds itself out as the top in the world. and this is really not realistic, is not pragmatic. i think every country in the world should have its own right to development, and no one in the world has a monopoly all either the pacific ocean or the indian ocean. as a matter of fact, india, an ocean and the pacific ocean are open for mankind to parties or baby. so if anyone, any country, any government, believes it as a monopoly of the pacific ocean or the indian ocean,

let me say that is doomed to failure. now, of china channel defense and military budget is mainly for defense purposes in this regard that is completely different from the u. s. defense position. the u. s. position is for claiming a gemini in the world, the charges for self defense and allow me to mention this on the record. no country in the world should ever endow gene any to see that it can fight a war against china. and we can that war because china will be united. why would china has no aggression against any other country? china will never allow any foreign country to prevail against china. military. that's the bottom line. that's the world. many thanks for joining us off international web quiz. more at the top of the

ah, with like the weather, any talk of a political solution to the ukraine?

complex is in a very deep breeze. washington it's against with ukraine. does what it's told in the russian c. no pressing need to talk to the west. but this is, i mean ukraine is frozen conflicts far from it. you can make pain just starting to reach a boiling point. me hello, i'm manila chan. you are tuned in modus operandi to show that explores the methods and patterns of foreign policy all around the world and the history that reverberates in our lives. today. this week we'll explore the highly contested visit to taiwan by the us speaker of the house and people. despite beijing demand america 3rd in line to the white house defied the one china policy, the united states claims to respect. how will this visit impact be already tense relations between china and the west bed in

a low profile manner. another island gets a visit via us delegation. the solomon islands in the south pacific hosted the deputy secretary of state, wendy sherman, and the us ambassador to australia, caroline kennedy, the daughter of the late us president john f. kennedy state department says this diplomatic visit is to commemorate the battle of guadalcanal in world war 2. but the other agencies traveling with these 2 diplomats are raising questions. all right, let's get into the ammo me sovereignty in the world of politics is generally defined and accepted as a nation's supreme right to act independently without outside interference to do that, which it feels best serves its national interest. and that has been the subject of debate over taiwan for hundreds of years from its native population predating

written history of the island to the questionable 300 a year ruled by the ming dynasty of mainland china. in the 1300s to the stint of dutch colonialism in the 1600s, taiwan sovereignty has been disputed all through history. so when how speaker nancy pelosi chose to make a short stop in taiwan in early august 2022. did she effectively defy beijing's request? not to come and break the one china policy, the u. s. claims to subscribe. joining us now to discuss the complicated history of taiwan and the future of us. china relations is doctor bates, gil, he's the professor and department head of mockery university and he's an expert on chinese foreign policy and also was the former director.
