ah, with a relationship is built on contributing to the progress of mankind. we firmly stand on the right side of history and unbreakable bod. chinese president shooting paints. the man's, his country's ties with russia. as both states. they, they hope to pave the way through a multi polar world, a violation of humanitarian law. that's how moscow condemn news that the u. k. plans is apply ukraine with depleted uranium in the nation. something su 4 with devastating consequences for civilian people. this decision means that they are ready to take not just risks,

but to violate international humanitarian law. as was the case in 1999 and yugoslavia and much more. and the prime minister of palestine slammed israel for being driven by an extreme re says policy. this comes just after one of the israel top officials said 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. it is now day to the chinese president's visit to moscow and both choosing pay and bought american have wrapped up talks after signing numerous bilateral agreements. ah,

the chinese president has praised bilateral ties between russia and china. as though the 2 countries are guided by principles within the un charter, and that they stand on the right side of history, get woocommerce reach 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 fight of mankind, our contacts and cooperation are advanced on the principle of friendship. our relationship is built on contributing to the progress of mankind. we 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 men came as the 2 readers delivered comments after a meeting where they reaffirm their strong commitment to each other's countries,

both economically and diplomatically artes moran garcia has more details western efforts to isolate and to contain busha 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 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, blame store mooney 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 may imprudent also during the press conference, told the audience that the various dignitaries, the delegations was the press that while he and she, jim ping 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 below. even use it 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 an 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 shaking, paying an vladimir putin issued a joint statement focusing on points that are crucial for both moscow and beijing.

that is, i'd say their relations don't represent a military alliance. and are not directed against other countries. the leaders also expressed concern over u. s. military and biological activities, and called for explanations from washington. china and russia are also expected to further deepen trade cooperation of correspondent for the c g t and news channel has more on those plans, which china and russia had to maintained a very good by maddow trade 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 for 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 belden road initiative. as a, china's for a ministry spokesperson earlier said that president she is visit, it will also be a triple cooperation that you, it will deep little cooperation between the bowden road initiative as well as the your asian economic union. after hours long talks, russia's leader hosted a state dinner at the kremlin to wrap up the day was the celebratory host were made flawed, of your appointment, added once again, that the countries enjoy the best relations they've ever had. a russian chinese relations are 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 maintain stability and security on the planet should interact. so analysts say that president, she's visit to moscow test devised to the robust friendship and strategic

partnership between the 2 countries. however, western powers, i've repeatedly tried to get beijing to follow its anti russia agenda even earlier today, the chief of nato said that china needs to speak to the ukranian president. it is for that ukraine to decide, ah, what are acceptable conditions. so for in the peaceful solution, her child therefore needs to start to understand ukraine's perspective and engage with preston. 30 lensky, a daughter. if her it's a sued sir, if it wants to be serious about the piece. and we also need to remember to, to the china has not been able to condemn the illegal war, aggression by russia, against the ukraine. earlier my call inquiry, sir shay gut reaction to the visit of the chinese president. from the panel of gast, independent political analysts alessandro bruno believes the world has tired of

western dominance. political analyst alex report. if i says that washington is being forced to play catch up to china, while benjamin char, 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 needle the existence of which still defies any logic because the better lines are supposed to fight communism and protect the west from the ideological sprint. 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 were moscow looks to the east rather than to the west when they 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, 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 seas foreign ukraine, particularly if it's mediated by china. alex, why would 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 there used to ripping up agreements there in to that apparently. and they're up to really no good on the international worldwide, 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? cried obviously, western partners, a screaming, know and saying in setting off alarm, bells, your thoughts, benjamin. i think these are the rising powers and global participants and really to be concerned about their legitimate needs. and now we have c o 2 trenice. and it will, those, this portray can and does this a cam left by the us that is showing a clea,

a trend of equalization which could tongue bad because equal to wars as trade and interests more segregated. and the world is becoming a more serious um jane and you know, people for comps and we understand that, but it is quite unreasonable that the u. s. now is open the asking people to reach any piece plans. when you craig, as you raised ray that these, ah young don't currently at 22 african country meters here in moscow seeking collaboration. yet we asking and under can do the exclusive cops in the name of democracy prog, notoriously, and was standard roches. foreign minister says the actions of the west which go against international humanitarian law, will not. and well, for them that's in response to the announcement i have the u. k, that it was, apply depleted uranium immunization to ukraine, which it has previously used in conflict sounds and left a long lasting, devastating health effects and places like iraq and yugoslavia. usually 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 of mentioned themselves was hedgeland's for a long time. i'm want to maintain this had gemini, with all that 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 i wouldn't be surprised if that happens to me, but there's no doubt does. it won't end well for them is little know, going a little earlier archie, steve sweeney turned my colleague, worry so shay to discuss the meaning of this controversial new 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 peaceful solution to the conflict in ukraine. now barrenness, goldie, as we've heard and confirm that britain will send this alma pacing 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 name 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. anita 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 rising 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 her rossimer. where of course the united states dropped an atom bomb at the end of the 2nd world worn out. i've spoken to medics on the ground. there i was there just last week and they said that there was undeniably a cold 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 a guy against this. now, i heard this many, many times. and of course the report the 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 grounds of said. did it a bad ma had a lover. we didn't expect our 1st child to be born deformed before the u. s. invasion. children were rarely born with deformities in fallujah may be 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, just a hm. 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 other than we are not the 1st or the last case. u. s. force is 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 italian soldiers said to have died as a result of exposure to the material their company involved in a court case against that military allies are britain 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 has 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 tipped with uranium to, to use in that 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 a talking about a peaceful resolution. i spoke earlier to european saudis, professor steven guy, hedge who believes there are serious implications to the revelations from the u. k . this is an announcement of future war crimes and prolonged war cries because even 24 years, author d. nathan aggression against the federal republic of yugoslavia found their people are dying. the official statistics say that the number of cancer, leukemia and other connected illnesses are 2 and a half times higher in, in serbia and 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 why 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 hostilities. 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. europe's adversary. that's how russia now viewed by 2 thirds of people pulled

across 10 european countries. the survey was conducted by the european council on foreign relations. archie contributor rachel mars in 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 firms like you gov and data praxis and has 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 us the 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 per cent of it says, and 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, probably a century. so the big question is, why do so many citizens of european countries now consider russian adversary and 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 barrack, saying that european countries are at war with russia before then, having to walk that comment back. european leaders are also constantly talking about the need to ramp up defense spending using russia as a pretext for diverting boatloads of taxpayer cash to their own. busy baterri 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 sneaks with sanctions. then that mil to support would have faced the way for a decisive victory. the truth is that step by step, all moments of through elements. we are falling ourselves totally immersed in this war without all government and europe attempting to strategy to follow and negotiating path. 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 have 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 pulls

in such a short amount of time. the new israeli government is extremist and driven by races sentiment. thus the view of the palestinian prime minister has comments came after top israeli officials of there is no such nation as palestine and it doesn't have a language or history in the past. really had to let the atlanta stephen by his really minister smoot rich and that there is no palestinian nation and that it was invented within the last 100 years is conclusive evidence of the extremist racist and science ideology. the drives the current is really government was very, extremely controversial in many things. planetary statement by use real finance minister, the head of the countries far right. religious on a 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 palestinian history, there is no palistine in language. what is your statement came on the same day as israeli and palestinian delegations with imitation of wives, jordan and egypt held as security. some attain sharman shae have taken steps to ease boiling pensions on the ground, desecration them. the reason of collated reasons, dramatically with increasing casualties. from both sides, of course, in this context of desperate international attempts to escalate the situation. jordan and egypt condense, monitors claims these really ministers remarks deny the facts of history and geography and undermine the efforts in 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 foreign ministry of the kingdom already reacted. describing this act as reckless and find out that wiley's stage or in israeli teams,

tricky and international, more official, jerusalem had to be quick to join to come the situation by saying that e's real recognizes jordan territory integrity and nothing has changed in a position to statements made by minister in his rating and a racist inflammatory and provocative pullman 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 st. mr. view. 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 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 dangly attack by israeli settlers just a day before. should be wiped out, he later publicly apologized. and now he did it again. we heard earlier from palestinian journalist who believes that israel bulldozers all peace efforts and his lead only by its own interest. i think the israeli government now blackmail divide their own making because nathan, yeah, i was trying to stay out of jail and he has collected everybody that you can that supports his changes in the law so that he can stay out of jail. and as a result,

he is under their own, under their mercy. if he goes against them, they will make it the governor for so he has a little choice. he's angry israeli, his anger in the american xander in the world. and allison knew the anger in georgia to which they have a few streets, you would only because he wants to stay out of jail. and so this is the problem of the net anyhow. don't make it by putting through sound full in the radical races groups. then you basically are black, meaning you 2 days earlier, they were meeting in michelle michelle. and before that, they're me. when i come by, the usaa american, the jordanians vacations are trying to get days ready to deescalate and is ready promise to de escalate. and then their senior minister does what he just did and it blows up the entire effort by the americans and the arabs, to especially with the moment that starting tomorrow or day after it blows up the entire attempt to de escalate the situation. it shows that we need to political

situation, not the military on that day security solution. and finally this hour, we end in pakistan. we're an anchor. it remains calm amid the chaos, but it shows the prisoner, the local news channel, comedy, delivering his report as an earthquake rocks the sat on air and massive. 6.8 tremor shook the country, but the worst effects were felt. the epicenter and neighboring afghanistan, the earthquake registered as far away is india. i'll keep you updated as more information comes in. from, from that it will seem ok, does that is the jackie 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 right back here at the top of the hour. ah .
