and you think, you know, it must be because they are inferior people. what do you do with inferior people can really get a a relationship is built on contributing to the progress of mankind. i'm the stand on the right side of history and unbreakable bought chinese president, changing things. the mental countries ties with russia has both states, say they hope to pay the way to a new multi polar world. the u. k. it says it will supply ukraine with depleted uranium. ammunition is by the devastating health effects the armor piercing, round, high cost of the billions of conflict with the prime minister of palestine, lambs, israel for being driven by an extreme racist policy. this is just after one of

israel top officials said that there is no palestinian nation with coming to you live from the russian capital. this is our t international. i'm rachel blevins here with the top stories of the our welcome to the program is now day 2 of the chinese presidents visit to moscow. she's in pain and vladimir putin had wrapped up talks after signing numerous bilateral agreements . ah, the chinese president has praised bilateral ties between russia and china. and so the 2 countries are guided by principles within the un charter, and that they stand on the right side of history. dead walker language either

chinese russian ties have gone far beyond bilateral relations over the last and years, and all of crucial and vital importance for today's world order and the fate of mankind. our contacts and cooperation are advanced on the principle of friendship. a relationship is built on contributing to the progress of mankind were guided by the principles in the un charter and a day to an unbiased view were always ready for peace and dialogue. we firmly stand on the right side of history. i count on continuing close contacts with president putin and on long term at china, russia relations stronger the same. it came as the 2 leaders delivered comments after a meeting where they reaffirm their strong commitment to each other's countries, both economically and diplomatically. ortiz, moran garcia, has more details. western efforts to isolates and to contain russia both economically and politically hit a wall to day. as the chinese leader came out and said that not only was china

happy about the rec, would trade that in our joys with russia at a $190000000000.00 turn over year, it'll increase that trade. 2 to a much greater figure by 2030, that is the plan voiced by vladimir putin and she jumping of china booth came out and loaded where relations are right now. they're at a historic height. they said the best they've been in centuries more than that. vladimir putin and she jumping listed the various areas where they would work together, build on those relations. and they're pretty much everything, their culture, their trade business, financial services, as well as technology energy, and much, much more, both countries optimistic about the future. the chinese also brought with them a plan, a plan for peace milligrams to a movie is full as we believe that many of the points of china's piece plan are

similar to our views and can be taken in action for the peaceful settlement. when the western key of are ready to accept these, however, so far we see no willingness on their park. that mom couldn't also during the press conference, told the audience that the various dignitaries, the delegations was the press that while he and she jumping, talked, vladimir putin was, was brief. the great britain and official, they had announced that they would now supply depleted uranium rounds to the ukrainian military, the same depleted uranium that has been linked to countless deaths and birth defects, cancer in areas such as a rock where it has been used. louis ministered for, but the u. k, as announced not only the supply of tanks to ukraine, but also shells with depleted uranium. it seems that the west has really decided to fight russia to the last ukranian, not in words, but in reality,

if all of this happens, russia will have to react accordingly. based on the fact that the collective west is beginning to use weapons with a new killer component, all in old, grand ambitious plans voiced by, by china. and by russia. the leaders of both, both saying that they stood for a multi polar world than that they would work to develop that world. and the various systems and bodies that govern it. a world based on, on rules and laws, in which china and russia will remain good friend. a major focus of the talks was on economic development between china and russia, why they made strides and bilateral trade. the countries expect to further deepen their co operation. we heard earlier from his easy tan, t and corresponding on the plants, dana and russia had maintained a very good bye mattel, tray, the relations you know,

china has been russia's largest trading partner for 30 years and runny operation on major projects in. feels like energy of ations phase and connectivity is also moving forward steadily or the collaboration is scientific and technological, technological innovation cross border e commerce and other immersion areas is also showing a strong momentum. and russia has played a, has also placed a vital position on china's bowden road initiative as at china's, for a ministry spokesperson earlier said that president she's visit will also be a triple cooperation. that you, it will deep little cooperation between the about them wrote initiative as well as the your asian economic union. after hours long talks, rushes liter hosted a state dinner at the kremlin to wrap up the day was the celebratory toast were made. vladimir putin added once again, the countries enjoy the best relations they've ever had. that with russian

chinese relations or at the highest level ever in our exemplary. this is an example of how world powers who are permanent members of the un security council, and who bear special responsibility for maintaining stability and security on the planet should interact. so analysts say that present a she's a visit to moscow, testifies to the robust friendship and strategic partnership between the 2 countries. however, western powers have repeatedly tried to get beijing to follow its anti russia agenda even earlier today. the nato ci stilton burke said that china needs to speak to the ukranian president. it is for the ukraine to decide ah, what are acceptable or conditions so for in the peaceful solution. and her china therefore needs to start or to understand ukraine's perspective and to gauge with preston, 30 lensky, a daughter. if her it's sued, sir,

if it wants to be seuss about the piece. and we also need to remember that the china has not been able to condemn the illegal war aggression by russia against the ukraine. earlier my colleague worry sushi got reactions to the visit of the chinese president from a panel of gast, independent, political analyst alessandra bruno believes the world has tired of western dominance. political analyst alex report effect believes that washington is being forced to play catch up with to china, while benjamin chow from the center for china. and globalization says the west can't reject any peace plan for ukraine while still arming the country. i believe the world is it is changing, it's had enough of the, let's call it from what it is. western arrogance. and it will start to form their own alliances in response to the deployment of western

alliances such as made of the existence of which still defies. any logic, because the better lines are supposed to fight communism and protect the west from the logical spread a and military spread and was countered by the war, so fact, which was promptly dismantled. and i think this one of the things perhaps, that in russia, they regret most. so i do think this could be the beginning of a resurgence of something along the lines of war. so fact, but this time involving or moscow looks to the east rather than to do us, but to say, but it seems allison, that many countries these days are looking more towards the east or even the global south, whether it be s c o r c. and o, the bricks as well. alex, i wanted to come to you because, you know, china, china has come to moscow with

a potential piece proposal for the conference in ukraine, a john kirby of the us national security council. formerly of the u. s. state department, john kirby saying washington is not interested about a possible sees foreign ukraine, particularly if it's mediated by china. alex, why wouldn't washington be against ending the conflict? well, washington has their own role in this whole events that are taking part in the world . we've seen the collapse of their financial system over the last couple of weeks here. that truly shows you the power that washington really has nowadays, which is not much they're used to ripping up agreements. they're in to that apparently, and they're up to really no good on the international world wide. i would say diplomacy levels. let's look at what united states is done in the last year. here. they have walked, say it through proxy funded a ukraine to continue to push back russia. now, how are they funding it? they're funding it through the military industrial complex,

which is one of the largest things in their annual budget every year in the united states. that's the 1st one. the other one is they just can't seem to grasp that they're better back build program that was brought in by the by the administration has fallen on deaf ears while the u. s. is scrambling. china is now gain partners one by one with their belt road initiative and through the belt road initiative, investing in other countries. they are once again building a relationship. that is what the world is up against. and i think it's, it's quite challenging for the us. you talk about this modern day silk road, essentially, that's what it is and all these different countries are going to be doing this are trade whether by c, by land, by air, and it's gonna be essentially national currency. so i know you make a very good point, alex, which i'll take over to, to benjamin chow now, because how, how do you think, benjamin, that the members of the bricks group of nations and i also african state to how do you think they perceive the beijing proposed a piece plan for you cry, obviously,

western partners a screaming, know and saying in setting off alarm, bells, your thoughts, benjamin, i think on these auto pricing powers and global participants. and we need to be concerned about their niche. it and the needs. and now we are see opposite trenice. it will, those this portrayed can and does this. so i can let by doing this, that is showing a clia treno equalization, which could tongue bad because equal to wars as train an interest more segregated into world is becoming a more serious home game. you know, people for college and we understand that, but it is quite reasonable that the us now is open the, asking people to we any piece plans when you, craig, as you raised ray that these are, you know, there are currently at 20 african country meters here. in moscow seeking collaboration, yet we are seen and under cam food exclusive cups in the name of democracy club law

coarsely that was standard roches, foreign minister says the actions of the west, which go against international humanitarian law, will not end well for that. that's in response to the announcement by the u. k. that it will supply depleted uranium ammunition to ukraine, which it has previously used in conflict zones and left a long lasting, devastating health the facts in places like a rock and yugoslavia. unusual. they've already lost all sense of orientation in their actions. and now those actions undermined a 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 mansion themselves was hedgeland's 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 does. it won't. and well, for them there's little know, going a little earlier art seen, steve sweeney joined. my colleague, worry sushi, discuss the meaning of this controversial lou by the u. k. this announcement appears to be a very dangerous escalation, and of course it comes at a time when chinese president teaching ping has been in moscow talking about a piece or solution to the conflict in ukraine. now bonus cody, as we've heard, confirmed person will send this all the pacing rounds, which contain depleted you writing. this is part of the challenge to turn 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. 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 fallujah, leading to a rise in birth defects. her abnormalities, cancers, miscarriages. and this kind of thing with a study saying that the rising cancer, there was worse than that seen in hiroshima 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 been pressured by the united states, not to speak out against her against this. now,

i heard this many, many times. and of course a report that i just referred to was barely covered in the western press meeting. the scandal in fallujah has really been covered up, but here's what some of those on the ground have said that a bad model over we didn't expect our 1st child to be born deformed before the u. s . 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, not just a home. and my father was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in 2021. they told us that he is sick and feeling poorly. the reason is that felicia was a battleground from 2005 to 2013, especially in the district. we are living in the we are not the 1st or the last case, u. s. forces bombed 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 that currently involved in a court case against that military allies. albriton has quite absurdly 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 raised its concerns over the use of depleted uranium. let's listen in soluble, 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 is carried out extensive research and extensive studies into depleted uranium, but some expert say that that body has also been pressured into no playing down the effects of depleted uranium. now this of course is fueled. those claims of a cover up and i think 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 ammunition with uranium t to using ukraine. but what we can say about what's happening is it's a very controversial move and it could dangerous a dangerous the escalate things in ukraine a time when others are talking about a peaceful resolution. i spoke earlier to european studies professor steven guyette, who believes that there are serious implications to the revelations from the u. k.

this is an announcement of future war crimes and prolonged war crimes because even 24 years after the nathan aggression, again, the federal republic, grievous lava fowler, people are dying. the official statistics said that the number of cancer, leukemia and other connect to the illnesses are 2 and a half times higher in, in serbia, montenegro than it you know, compared to the world average. i don't think that the use of western military aid will change the, the war overall. of course it will bring that. but what i'm really concerned about is this vicious that we are facing now because depleted uranium is killing people years and decades after the actual facilities. and if

this weapons actually come to ukraine, and if it gets used, you will have people who will die because of these weapons people who are going to be born after the conflict and, and will have to face health challenges because of the use of these weapons. the new israeli government is extreme asked and driven by racist sentiment. vasa view out of the palestinian prime minister. his comments came after a top israeli officials, so there is no such nation as palestine and it doesn't have a language or history in the city. how to look at the statement by is really minister smoot rich, that there is no palestinian nation and that it was invented within the last 100 years is conclusive evidence of the extremist racist and sinus ideology that drives the current israeli government. it was a very, extremely controversial in many a planetary statement by israel 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 in the country. the new government miss a small church went as far as saying, no such nation as palestinians. there is no such thing as a philistine nation. the reason or posting in history, there is no policy in a language. what is your statement? came on the same day as israeli and palestinian delegations with mediation all the while of jordan and egypt held as security. some attain? sharma shay? have the taking steps to ease boiling tensions on the ground? the situation and the reason escalated recently dramatically with increasing casualties from both sides. of course, in this context of desperate international attempts to deescalate the situations, jordan and egypt condense, monitors claims these really ministers remarks, deny the facts of history and geography and undermine the efforts aimed at achieving com, between the palestinian and israeli sides. and when you think it can be any worse,

it turns out that small threats while given his opinion on the palestinians, was talking in front of a map of great israel, that included jordan, the foreign ministry of the kingdom already reacted describing this act as reckless and find that violate stage or lenient israeli team. tricky. and the international more and the social jerusalem had to be equipped to join to come the situation by saying that he's real recognizes jordan's territorial integrity. and nothing has changed in this position cuz we had to sort of the statements made by minister in his radio and a racist inflammatory and provocative equipment. 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 annexed re mr. you. 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 tense. could you imagine if a palestinian leader would have said the state of israel does not exist? what would have been the reaction? i had to say that 3 weeks ago more rachel 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. we heard earlier from a palestinian journalist who believes that israel bull, those is all peace efforts and is lead only by its own interest. i think it's

really government now blackmail to buy their own making because nathan. yeah, i was trying to stay out of jail and he has commented everybody that you can that supports his and changes in the law so that he can stay out of jail. and as a result, he is under their own under mercy. if he goes against them, they will make it the government for so he has little choice. he's angry israelis with anger in the american xander in the world. and allison is younger in georgia to which they have a few st would only because he wants to stay out of jail. and so this is a problem on the net anyhow, his own making by putting himself with the radical racist groups. then they basically are black mailing him 2 days earlier. they were meeting in the shadow, michelle, and before that, they're me, when i come by the u. s, american, the jordanians, the oceans, are trying to get the israel used to de escalate. and they really promised to deescalate. and then their senior minister does what he just did and it did blows

up the entire effort by the americans and the arabs too, especially with the rather than starting tomorrow, a day after it blows up the entire attempt to de escalate the situation. it shows that we need a political situation, not the military. one security solution, your adversary. that's how russia is now the by 2 thirds of people hold across 10 european countries. the survey was conducted by the european council on foreign relations. r t contributor rachel marson gave us her take on the story. well, the european council on foreign relations is a western back think tank. it's analyzed, recent data from british and european polling firm is like you. gov and data praxis . and it's found the overall a majority of europeans in 9 different countries, plus great britain. consider russia to be an adversary with which their own country

is in conflict. now rushes in conflict with ukraine and more largely nato, but there is no direct arm conflict between european nations and russia. but the figures are highest in the baltic. states like poland and estonia, but also in denmark, where authorities have really been playing up. the russian fear factor since the onset of the conflict in ukraine to ram through defense policy changes like, for example, an increase in defense spending to meet u. s. a native demands and also the abolition via referendum last year of denmark, sovereign ability to avoid, to opt out of you defense operations that no longer exists since this conflict in ukraine just 2 years ago. the notion of russia being an adversary in actual conflict with any you countries, was simply non existent. the strongest sentiment back then was in poland, with 38 percent of its citizens figuring they were in direct conflict with russia. because, well, that's the movie that's always playing in the minds of some people in poland who didn't get the software update. publius century. so the big question is,

why do so many citizens of european countries now consider russian adversary in conflict with their own country? while it might have something to do with the constant conflation of ukraine and the european union, all the talk we hear from you leaders about how ukraine is fighting for european values like corruption, press censorship, i guess the number of german citizens who see russia as an adversary has virtually tripled in 3 years, maybe it has something to do with german foreign minister. and alina barack, saying that european countries are at war with russia before then, have to watch that comment that european leaders are also constantly talking about the need to ramp up defense spending, using russia as a pretext for diverting boatloads of tax their cash to their own. busy metairie industrial complexes following the u. s. model, it's a slippery slope that even has some officials worried like former italian prime

minister giuseppe conte. we were told that we would bring russia to each lease with sanctions. then that military support would have faith the way for a decisive victory. the truth is that step by step, all moments after all moments we are falling ourselves totally immersed in this war without all government and europe attempting to strategy to follow and negotiating bath and arrive at a be solution. okay, so there's no doubt that shifts in public opinion dictate the options that governments can pursue in any given situation. and it looks like european leaders through their militaristic rhetoric of effectively been able to manipulate european public opinion in favor of a greater tolerance for a prolonged conflict in ukraine against russia. hungarian prime minister, victor, or bon, is now sounding the alarm on the recklessness demonstrated by european leaders. unfortunately, europe is suffering from

a psychosis of war. the continent is drifting into war day by day. it is important for the voice of peace to compete with the powerful voice of war. and it is important to make it clear that the global majority wants peace. if anyone might be wondering how it's possible to drift incrementally into war day by day, as or bon says, you don't really need to look any further than the shift underscore in these polls in such a short amount of time. and that's all for now. be sure to check out our t v dot com for all the latest breaking news and updates. we'll see you right back here at the top of the hour. ah, what he's got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy you can foundation, let it be an arms race is on often very dramatic development only personally and

getting to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very difficult time. time to sit down and talk with the grain situation in its impact on the african continent is the data consequence of the war in cream, which is an imperialist tool, which is a war means that russian people and thrash and state by our tradition of enemies. western imperialism. so i'm just calling up on the west if make would lift the sanctions so that of course this price is, can go down and the low cost of living can be experience in the country. and we all can be comfortable and happy. as i understand.
