some of the very latest pictures on this historic day, that's part of the criminal right there, downtown moscow. and this is asi, international. so good to have your company for this program. and there were the latest statements from the russian president, and of course, his chinese counterpart g, jing ping, they essentially really cover the spectrum of all these different contracts and documents being signed for the future. state of, i guess, peaceful prosperity around the world are china and russia, assigning hundreds of documents, whether it comes to economy, energy, strategic, security, agriculture, education, even sports. but just for a moment here, let's, let's just cut the cut away some of the chaff and get down to one of the, one of the main points of is visit china arriving here at moscow. the chinese president straight after is 3rd reelection as the president. he's come to moscow with the peace proposal for the conflict in ukraine. now president is eugene ping

was essentially saying that when it comes to the ongoing conflict in ukraine, china is guided by the goals and principles of the un charter and hearing to a non bias template, so to speak. a china is always a piece in dialogue when it comes to ukraine. and she didn't think that the china family stands on the right side of history, but didn't really elaborate on bad thing. basically saying that looking forward to continue to close contact with russia's leadership to continue to try and find a peaceful resolution for the culture in ukraine. whereas open out to the russian president vladimir putin. he actually said that many items on china's piece proposal are very similar to russia's piece proposal for ukraine as well. a put in saying, but western play is not ready to hear any piece plans. and when discussing how to implement the china piece plan today, it became known as pushing was saying, the u. k is announcing time supplies to ukraine,

but also with depleted uranium. i'm munition approved, i was saying that russia will have to respond and react in a similar manner. putting saying the west is starting to use weapons with nuclear capabilities and risks and moscow as food. and did say earlier today, we'll see the usage of uranian tipped amunition in ukraine as that of a dirty bob. so a couple of really big statements there from the leadership of russia and china, off the signing countless contracts and a number of spheres. you can see right there, the strategic cooperation and friendship at the end of the day between beijing and moscow continues to blossom. you can read much more about this online at our website, r t dot com for the meantime. let's get back to our regularly scheduled program. to the palestinian prime minister, who says the current israeli government is extremist and driven by a racist sentiment. the statement coming off for

a top israeli official said there is no such nation as palestine. it doesn't have a language or even a history. in the past we had to let the ad let the steven by his really minister smooth trish that there is no palestinian nation and that it was invented within the last 100 years is conclusive evidence of the extremist racist and scientists ideology that drives the current israeli government, it was a very, extremely controversial in many things. planetary statement by use real finance minister. the head of the countries far right. religious on is from party who is also, ironically in charge of the palestinian, the fairies and the countries new government. miss a small church went as far as saying, no such nation as palestinians. there is no such thing as a police tenure nation. the reason or posting in history, there is an open listing and language palestinian prime ministers reaction was quick obviously, and furious. he accused israel of racism and extreme it. no,

no love you. now plaintively, feel if we are the ones who gave palestine its name and the land, its value and status. this land is ours. israel is a colonial state established by settlers. it expanded like any other colony has done throughout history. but we have learned from history, the colonialism will end the will of our people is not shaken by fabricated claims, from the falsifier of history. what is your statement came on the same day as israeli and palestinian delegations with mediation all the while of jordan and egypt held at security. some attain charmaine shame. that taking steps to ease boiling tensions on the ground. the situation in the region escalated recently dramatically with increasing casualties from both sides since the beginning of this year. at least 15 israelis have been killed in terror attacks, including the nice traversal him as well as more than 80 palestinians,

mostly in idea of milton rates in the north. although the wind west the bank, so tensions are really boiling on the ground and the un you, as you all have repeatedly called on both sides to come down and on israel, specifically to trying to avoid have provocative actions such as settlement expansion or policy in houses demolition or strong. ringback words provocative words, of course in this context of desperate international attempts to deescalate the situations. jordan and egypt condense, motors claims the israeli ministers remarks deny the facts of history and geography and undermine the efforts aimed at achieving com between the palestinian and israeli sides. when you think it can be any worse, it turns out that small, th, while given his opinion on the palestinians was talking in front of a map of great israel, that included jordan. the form history of the kingdom already reacted describing this act as reckless and spiteful and finally stage,

or manian israeli peace treaty and international norms. the official jerusalem had to be equipped to enjoy and to come to the situation by saying that israel recognizes jordan's territorial integrity and nothing has changed in this position closely her to allow so to yet to hear the statements made by minister in his rated government a racist inflammatory and provocative the release of these statements from a podium presenting an alleged map of israel that includes the occupied palestinian territories and includes the hashemite kingdom of jordan. these are statements, positions, and actions that are inflammatory, racist, and reflect an exclusionary racist annex. dream mister you, we have affirmed our condemnation denunciation and rejection of this. and we have communicated with the international community to highlight the danger of such exclusionary racist inflammatory doors and its repercussions not only on the peace process, but also in terms of the message it sends about the danger of this extreme,

this racist thought. there was already a reaction from israel's western allies, the foreign policy change described. the statement has unacceptable disrespectful and counterproductive. i'd have to deplore this unacceptable comment. it is wrong. it is disrespectful. it is dangerous. it is counter productive to say these kinds of things in a situation that is already very temps. could you imagine if a palestinian leader would have said the state of israel does not exist? what would have been the reaction? had to say they 3 weeks ago, moderate already drew international attention and international criticism after claiming that the palestinian town of how wire that had been suffering from a violent, brutal, deadly attack by israeli settlers just the day before, should be wiped out. he later publicly apologized, and now he did it again. that's a great have your company for this broadcast live from moscow. now, the russian foreign minister says the actions of the west, which you go against,

international humanitarian law, will not and well for them. and that's in response to the announcement by the u. k . that it will get this. it will supply depleted uranium amunition to ukraine, which have left long lasting, devastating health effects and conflict zones. for example, one like iraq, if they've already lost all sense of orientation in their actions. and now those actions undermined the strategic stupidity of the entire world. first of all, these are the anglo saxons who are dragging the rest of the collective west with them. so who the imagined themselves as head humans for a long time and want to maintain this had gemini, with all their might. this decision means that they are ready to take not just risks, but to violate international humanitarian law. as was the case in 1999 in yugoslavia and much more well, i wouldn't be surprised if that happens. it's you know, but there's no doubt that it won't end well for them and is not going to. but i say

this, i really disturbing conversation of it further now without his or steve sweeney. joining me here in the studio, steve, as always, really good to see you. i love rob speaking right there, i guess, referring to annabel la goldie from the usaa de, per defense department, or that, that certainly that eric, i got an amount, i'm shocked, i'm shocked by this steve. just to be straight up with you about this i. so the u. k is going to start dispatching, uranian tipped ammunition to the conflict zone in ukraine will surely that's not going to end. well, well, that's right. i mean, this announcement appears to be a very dangerous escalation, and of course it comes at a time when chinese president gigi ping has been in moscow talking about a peaceful solution to the conflict in ukraine now barrenness, goldie, as we've heard her confirm that britain will send this all my piercing rounds, which contain depleted uranium. this is part of the challenge a to tank package with 14 of them set to be sent to ukraine. and she made this admission in response to

a written parliamentary question by the cross bench pay. lord hilton, let's hear the statement alongside are granting of a squadron of challenger to mean battle tanks to ukraine will be providing ammunition including armor piercing rounds, which contain depleted uranium. such rounds are highly effective in defeating modern tanks and armored vehicles will cause russia has responded to this previously. and it said that it would regard the use of depleted uranium in ukraine as a dirty bomb. he is a reminder of what they said. if she ever supplied with such shells for nato heavy military equipment, we will consider this as the use of dirty nuclear bombs against russia, with all the and suing consequences. now of course, the use of depleted uranium remains incredibly controversial when it's her a gray area in terms of the legislation. now the united states used

a depleted uranium perhaps most famously in the iraqi town of, of fallujah, leading to a rise in birth defects. her abnormalities, cancers, miscarriages, and this kind of thing with a study or saying that the rising cancer there was worse than that seen in her rossimer, where of course, the united states dropped an atom bomb at the end of the 2nd world war. now, i've spoken to medics on the ground there. i was there just last week and they said that there was, undeniably a causal link between the use of depleted uranium. and these are these birth effects and or other health issues. but they also told me that they've been pressured by the united states, not to speak out against her against this. now, i heard this many, many times. and of course the report that i just referred to was barely covered in the western press meeting. the scandal him for lucia has really been covered up. but here's what some of those on the grounds of said. did it about my had a lover?

we didn't expect our 1st child to be born deformed before the us invasion. children were rarely born with deformities in fallujah, maybe one or 2 cases out of a 1000 births. a year later, we decided to have another baby, but the 2nd baby was also born. deformed, american on the fellow dell there was thick smoke and a strange smell. wendy. yes, for storm lucia, we inhaled it and immediately went to our shop. 18 months later, my baby was born in the 8th month of pregnancy, but died 10 minutes after he was born because he had lim, deficiency, and congenital malformations. we were very sad to try to cope with it. the doctor said it's not uncommon and advises to have another baby. but our 2nd and 3rd children will reform till we moved to jordan, where doctor said it was because of the white fuss prestige by the us. forces and felicia, you also said it takes at least 10 years for our bodies to get rid of the radiation . that's just my father was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in 2021. they told us

that he is sick and feeling poorly. and the reason is that felicia was a battleground from 2005 to 2013, especially in the district. we are living in monk. we are not the 1st or the last case. us forces bomb the city here with white phosphorus and other weapons. now of course, it's not the just the u. s. nato admitted to dropping some 31000 uranium missiles during the 1999 bombing of yugoslavia. with more than $300.00 italian soldiers said to have died as a result of exposure to the material their company involved in a court case against the military alliance. now, some experts have said that the use of depleted uranium present a major global threat. it's worth quoting, one academic study which described depleted uranium as the trojan horse of nuclear war. now it said the use of depleted uranium weaponry defying all international

treaties will slowly annihilate all species on earth including the human species. and yet the united states continues to do so with full knowledge of its destructive potential. now, unsurprisingly, perhaps end that the u. s. along with france and britain have led opposition to calls for a ban on the use of depleted uranium on the battlefield. our britain has quite verbally, absurdly, perhaps, claimed that her depleted uranium shells are no more radioactive than household appliances. while the u. s. has repeatedly denied a causal link between the use of depleted uranium and these illnesses and cancers and birth effects that we've heard about. and to admit otherwise would lead them open to potential war crimes charges. but the world health organization has also raise its concerns over the use of depleted uranium. let's listen insoluble, inhaled uranium particles, one to 10 micro meters in size tend to be retained in the lung and may lead to

radiation damage of the lung and even the lung cancer. if a high enough dose occurs over a prolonged period. now the world health organization has carried out extensive research and extensive studies into depleted uranium, but some experts say that that body has also been pressured into playing down the effects of depleted uranium. now this, of course, a few, those claims of a cover up and, you know, this isn't the 1st time that we've heard the concerns raised about the use of depleted uranium back in january. of course, the white house refused to confirm whether it was sending these amunition with uranium to use in ukraine. but what we can say about what's happening is it's a very controversial move and it could danger yes. a dangerous the escalate thing that didn't ukraine at a time when others were talking about a peaceful resolution. yeah, but you know, there are, there are other levels to it as well. so if, if i may, i mean, just remember, i mean ukraine is one of the biggest agriculturally producing countries in the world. if you're going to radiate the soil, good luck on farming,

that country country ever again. i mean, washington keep saying that the conflict in ukraine is a battle for democracy. you cry must be given the chance for a democratic future. how is it going to have a democratic future is going to be radioactive across parts of the wars? it's astonishing to me that the u. k. is moving this far with sending depleted uranium ammunition into this conflict on steve. i appreciate your work and i look forward to more of your reports. thank you. as well as the french retirement age is being raised to cover government coffers that are running a bit dry at the moment. more and more money is being found to be sent to ukraine. you defense and foreign ministers of agreed to a 2000000000 euro ammunition plan for re supplying the ukrainian on. will again discuss the situation in ukraine and the support to be given to him in particular, on the basis of the high representative proposal concerning the use of the european piece facility from munition in order to accelerate the transfer of ammunition to

ukraine. this whole law group purchases and therefore faster deliveries at better prices. and finally, with the objective of string thing, european production capacities. this is a concrete way to help you crane the funding is to be conducted in 2 stages. first you is set to transfer a 1000000000 euros for ammunition that can be delivered quickly. the 2nd stage is for finding a joint procurement push to produce nato caliber artillery shells. the author and political analysts, nikolai markovich, says that while focusing on ukraine western elite, so turning a blind eye to the country's own in tunnel problem, we discovered that there is money. there is money, but unfortunately, it's not used for the europeans. the europeans are going through a very tight economic situation. now, inflation has skyrocketed. we've got unemployment, we've got many social problems for ukraine. they found 2000000000 and this is 2000000000 that has to be added to already the billions of years,

which have already been spent by the european union and the u. s. for the war and ukraine. so the money is there. it's just that this has become the priority of the european union. the leads in brussels are totally disconnected from the rest of the population in 2014, when there was a civil war in ukraine to try to broker piece a european union, never look for peace. it has been looking for war and now it's a, it's, it's getting 2000000000 euros worth of ammunition to ukraine and it's going to cause a lot of debt, lot of casualties. and definitely it will have consequences for the rest of europe . are to germany now, reports that officials are considering banning the chinese tech giant wow. way from operating in the countries telecom networks, a berlin's anteria ministry confound. or a view of tech supplies, including la away equipment is used to the countries 5 g networks. i talked about a potential ban, started back in 2020 under pressure from america, where harsh restrictions were imposed on the chinese firms equipment the very same

year. the german authorities claim using why way equipment undermines national security and allows china to spy on germans. in a statement, the chinese embassy and germany called out the decision china firmly poses germany using the excuse of national security and for abusing state power to interfere in the commercial operations with china. this not only violates economic loss and the principle of fair competition, but also homes others and is not its own benefit. well let's of course live now to hear when i see it, then i feel too, or i can hammer who's an economist and publisher of the vert shopped to l. business newsletter. always great to see you. thanks so much for coming on the program today . what a bizarre story, i mean, why way it's one of the biggest ones out there and yet germany intends to, to kick it out of the country. what do you think could be behind this? well, this is a very concerning story because i can think of 2 things that are behind it. the one

thing what they said is that the 5 g network is a possibility for spying. but what's different if the chinese or spying or the americans are spying for the germans? because german tech companies are not allowed to do it. the 2nd thing this is much more concerning is that this is normally preparation for war. it is the start of the economic of a trade war, and china is our most important, right? part grading partner in the minutes and all the industries and jeremy car industry and so on are heavily relying on china as a trading partner. so when the. busy german government, the government in behalf of the americans not in behalf of the. busy german or the european population, but in behalf of the starting a trade war to make germany or you're ready to join a war against china, then this is very, very concerning. well, it's almost like you talk about taking off a trade. well, i mean, his germany once again being squeezed between a rock and a high place. thank you,

america, north stream, sabotage. i mean, and now we're on to why way as well? i mean the g d, i mean look let's, let's be straight and maybe it's possible. do you think that, that why, way equipment is a risk to national security? maybe it is. i don't know. i could, i don't know either, but just the fact that they are starting a trade wars shows me 2 things that we have no economic knowledge in the government left. that we have lobby groups who have nothing in common with the german population or the european population, but serving other interests, not interest of the german industry or the european industry. and thus, this is a very concerning thing because they don't have any strategy how to make up for this market, or for this, for this technology. why is supplying much more than just the 5 g networks, they're supplying many, many more things to germany. and if this is missing, then we can really shut down because already we have not enough parts missing parts

in the chain, in the supply chain, in german industry. and this will work dramatically because europe has, has forgotten how to produce many things. it was shifted to the chinese or to asia, and now we are, we're entering the grade war. this will have diverting catastrophic consequences for the supply chain in europe and in germany, you're entering a trade war, but i don't think you're entering it by choice, as i understand. i mean, you know, you, america is always telling you what your buddy, where your friends were going to look off. you calm the north stream pipeline, and now get rid of why way. i mean, it's another case of u. s. allies and friends. i mean, is it another case of just throwing germany under the bus? well, it's exactly like this. it seems that the present leads in germany and europe are not serving the european and german people, but they are serving this american power. that's all these american liter partners

and. busy there are many expressions for this, what they are doing. so this is an example on how they are throwing germany, their biggest competitor in many things in front of the box and the german politicians, and the european politician helping the, the american competitors of germany to sabotage the germany industry. and yet, you know, here we have china remaining, essentially one of the biggest, i thought the biggest trading partner with germany. and so many other european countries as well. and yet china is also defacto, the biggest trading partner with the united states, their economies are now. so intrinsically intertwined. why do you think the end of the day washington is willing to, to go into this trade war when it's really got so little to back it up? i mean, everyone knows china is the new economic kingpin of the world. what's next? we really going to have some sort of military conflict because the hedge amman is

unwilling to release its grip on what is a unipolar world, the precincts. what i can imagine it's, of course, the suspicion of speculation from me. number one is that the biting regime has so many problems with in, with 100, by, with the left top of hell with the fraud that has been done by some services, by all these a so called state that they want to put the attention of this internal problems and normally politics goes to the foreign politics and especially a war or trade war would be a good thing to lead away from the big problems inside number one. number 2 is what the already said that they are preparing for a while because the us and we want to keep. busy international amount of power this doesn't serve the european or the american people on the ground. only the few really like the spec dines and so on. we'll meet in double. but yes,

they are. they would be considering entering a war to see that position because they know exactly what they did with woke and gender and all this agenda say put into europe and us. but the economy as a society is going down is on a downturn. and china is still on an upturn, or a nice can keep its position so that they are, but they don't have john's us in the future anymore. so maybe some do strategic. came to the idea to say we have to pay china the china as quick as possible because later we don't have. busy john's anymore, and i think this what 2 of the main reasons who are behind this strategy and who, why it's just to start g a political analyst and economist, i can have my joining us live here on our international always great to have you want to thank you very much, you're welcome, and you are a prominent

u. s. lawyer says the only way for international sanctions against russia to be lifted is for president putin to turn himself into a western authorities at the hague. that's wanting to steven rappe, who previously served as the us ambassador at logical what crime issues. this makes boot nip pariah if he travels. he risks arrests. this never goes away. russia cannot gain really from sanctions without compliance with the warrants. his comment came shortly after the international criminal court issued an arrest warrant for vladimir putin. the court accusing the russian president of abducting children from the conflict zoning ukraine. though moscow has maintained that it's evacuating civilians that are in danger, made in tense fighting. we spoke with talk to jack ross, most a professor of economics and politics at st. mary's college in california. now he says that the international criminal courts move as a desperate bid to father isolate russia. have

a listen for yourself. so it sanctions policy has not been affected. affective le rushes economy has not really been impacted seriously. it's, it's a currency is not collapse. it's still selling oil, revenue and other other industrial commodities. unemployment rate is probably better than some places in europe. inflation rates, not that great, great. and you know, the growth rate. well, it slipped a little bit. not much, but that's true throughout the world many economy. so the sanctions have not had the effect on russia. and you might interpret these moves, you know, with the i c, c and the price caps is kind of a desperate moves they want regime change. they man and us need only thing. they can get it by getting red, potent and putting up wanted to price on his head, so to speak, you know,

to the east and african nation of somalia. now where millions of people are at risk of starvation due to devastating shortages of food and all sorts of droughts as well. so policy lia, now examining the causes of the crisis and the latest episode, all african yeah, on the outskirts are the capital city of somalia. mogadishu, ad and internally displaced can do little tens of thousands of people here. many has come them all different kinds of the country. now all the people started coming here years ago, really because of charge because of famine, because if conflict in the areas, but the situation has deteriorated a lot since the written grain crisis began a year ago following the russia ukraine conflict. the country is relying and has been relying on the we can grain that it gets from russia, ukraine, and those supplies for the bit of part of the year have completely dried up. so you're looking at a famine that is going to kill millions of people here. grain situation in its

impact on the african continent is the direct consequence of the war in ukraine, which is an imperialist war. we should say a war against russian people and trash and state by our traditional enemies western imperialism. and now we are suffering in terms of our economies because i economies, i interlinked. what happens in russia is consequences for what have been everywhere in the world. and we know that our relationship with russia, in terms of this commodity of grains and so on, it's, it seems it's critical to the sustenance of the african continent. so the war, his diary keep responsible for the cases we should, the world dis, experiencing, not just in the african continent, even you don't be suffering. as a consequence of this war, russia is really doing positive things and a very difficult war situations. the russian economy is under serious a tech,

and the russian economy needs all their resources internally for its own sustenance . but even now, we see that they're extending the hand of solidarity to the african continent. and that is how address she has always related to the african continent. all right, well what did they as being here when i came from national and of course, here at moscow day 2 of the presidents of china and russia having extremely productive meetings in the hollow holes of the kremlin. countless contracts being signed in both countries prepared. the usher in the new multi polar world. it's been great having with us today. i'll be stepping aside now making room for rachel blevins who was here at the desk of the top of the news the ah.
