and you think no, it must be because they are inferior people. what do you do with inferior people? and you can really get rid of a 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 pain. so many countries, ties with russia, has both states say they hope to pay the way to a new multi polar world. a violation of humanitarian law that town moscow condemned news that the u. k. plans to supply ukraine with depleted uranium in the nation. something it's used before with devastating consequences for civilians. this decision means that they are ready to take not

just risks, but to violate international humanitarian law. as was the case in 1999. if you get small via a much more and the prime minister of palestine slams israel per being driven by an extreme racist policy. this counts just after one of israel's 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 evans here with the top stories of the our welcome to the program. it's now due to the chinese president's visit to moscow and both choosing pay and bottom air put in to have wrapped up talks after signing numerous bilateral agreements. ah,

china and russia are guided by principles within the un charter. and they stand on the right side of history. that was the way the chinese president summed up relations between the powers as he praised bilateral ties between moscow and beijing. dear, whoa, whoa, ricci. the 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. 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 relation and stronger. they say met came as the 2 leaders reaffirm their strong commitment to each other's countries, both economically and diplomatically. ortiz 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 milligrams to ammonia 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 part. 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 jumping, talked, vladimir putin was, was brief that the great britain and officials 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 a 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, great 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 nuclear 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 pain and 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 explanation from washington. china and russia are also expected to further keep in trade cooperation. a correspondent for the c d. t and news channel has more on those plans is infinite. mitchell, china 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 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 about them wrote initiative as well as the your asian economic union. after the lengthy talks, russia's liter hosted a state dinner at the kremlin was the celebratory, chose were made flawed, of mere food added once again, 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 while saying they're good by shooting pain, reiterated again that russia and china are leading the way in a new changing world. a new study

with our analysts say that president, she's visit to moscow, testifies 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 ukraine to decide, ah, what are acceptable conditions. so for in the peaceful solution, a channel therefore needs to start to understand ukraine's perspective and to gauge with preston, this lensky a daughter, if it suits her,

if it wants to be serious 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, sir, shake got reaction to the visit of the chinese president from a panel of gast independent political analysts. alessandra bruno believes the world has tired of western dominance. political analyst alex robert feet says that washington is being forced to play catch up to china, while benjamin chow from the study for china. and globalization says the was, can't reject any peace plant 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, as we'll start to form their own alliances. in response to the deployment of western alliance as such as nato,

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 it say, but it seems all alice on her 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 sees 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 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 dual 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 are the rising powers and global participants, and we need to be concerned about their legitimate needs. and now we are see opposite trenice. and it will, those, this portray can and does this a cam met by the us that is showing a korea trend of the globalization, which could tongue bad because equal to wars as trade, an interests more segregated into world is becoming a more serious um, gain. and you know, people for comps and we understand that, but it is quite unreasonable that the us now is open the, asking people to we any peace plans when you, craig, as you raised ray that these are young, 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 prog, notoriously, that was standard rash as foreign minister says the actions of the west,

which go against international humanitarian law, will not and welfare that that's in response to the announcement by the u. k that it will supply depleted uranium ammunition to ukraine, which is known for causing devastating health effects. unusual. 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 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 is not, nor going about a little earlier art seen. steve sweeney during my colleague, worry, sir,

shade to discuss the meaning of this controversial moved 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 her confirmed that britain will send this alma 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 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 and it's her

a gray area in terms of the legislation. now, the united states used a depleted iranian, 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 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 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 felicia has really been covered up, but here's what some of those on the grounds have said that

a bad model. however, we didn't expect our 1st child to be born deformed before the u. s. invasion. children were rarely born with deformities in philadelphia. 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 at johnston, 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. us 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 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 cold 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 tips 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 are talking about a peaceful resolution here pan settings. professor stephen gaiety 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. 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 the serbia and montenegro than a you know, compared to the world average. i don't think that the use of western military aid will change the, the war over all of course, it will bring that, but i'm, 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.

meanwhile, a report by the chief foreign correspondent and n b. c. news, richard angle cleaning people in iraq feel more free. 20 years after the u. s. invasion has sparked anger. the corruption remains a problem. the iranian influence remains a problem. but the people here are starting to feel more confident. certainly more free. one journalist tweeted that the death of many iraqis had taken a back seat and the report felt physically ill watching richard angle of report from baghdad on the 20th anniversary of the us invasion. he presents the war as a success painting a picture of a modern free iraq while giddily recalling his friend row seat to the horrific images of shock and awe. as if he attended a glitzy hollywood film premier not to launch of the crime of the century, the war itself is hardly discussed for states snugger 1st like angle. the death of

countless iraq is in foreign troops is barely even after thought a recent survey. so more than 1000000 are rockets have died from direct violence since the us led invasion in 2003 or rocky military personnel. death stood at more than 16000 with the entire operation for the u. s. coming with the price stack of nearly $3.00 trillion dollars, the founder of the rocky modern forum says that a rock is in a tractor crisis after the events that began in 2003 the situation that have been resulted. york of the 2003 a war and led to this kind of crisis in all kinds of aspects of subtleties and aspects of lack of government. weakness would result in tourism from josh in 2014 a you know the media,

it's very powerful. united states and the west and they want to show their people, they never become stakes. there was, was a right decision is what they want. this is what they came and this is what they want to, to see, to ask people to see what they have been done. but unfortunately, if there is a very decent media, if there is a decent decision makers to come and see what they have done in europe, they will see how, which was a very big asking, i'm sticks to. those have been done for the past 20 years. the new israeli government is extremist. andrew, and my worry says sentiment, that's a view of the palestinian prime minister. has comments came after top is really official. so there is no such nation as palestine and it doesn't have a language or history in the past. really had to let the, the steven,

by his really minister smoot rich and that there is no palestinian nation and that it was invented within the last 100 years. it's conclusive evidence of the extremist racist and science ideology. the drives, the current israeli government. it was very, extremely controversial in many things. planetary statement by use real finance minister, the head of the countries far right. religious on its 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 ballistics. the nation, the reason or palestinian history, there is no palistine in a language. small just statement came on the same day as israeli and palestinian delegations with mediation all was jordan and egypt held a security sum attained. sharman a have that taken 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 escalate the situations, 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 smarter it's well 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 in israeli team. tricky and international more and the official jerusalem had to be quick to join to come the situation by saying that e's real recognizes jordan's territorial integrity. and nothing has changed in this position to sort of the 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 a hush unlike kingdom of jordan, these are statements, positions, and actions that are inflammatory, racist, and reflect an exclusionary racist annex. st. 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 rome. 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 motivate already drew international attention and international criticism after claiming that the palestinian town of how was that

had been suffering from a violent, brutal dangly attack by israeli settlers just a day before should be wiped out. he laid her publicly apologized, and now he did it again. and finally, this hour, we end in pakistan where an anchor remains calm amid the chaos. reportedly this footage shows the presenter of a local news channel, calmly delivering his report as an earthquake rocks. the sat on air, the massive 6.8 tremor shook the country, but the worst of facts were felt at the epicenter and neighboring afghanistan. earthquake registered as far away as india will be a little quieter. are you local? good though, 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

ah ah, what does it tell us about the state of relations between russia and china? it shoes, the chinese leader, she came, ping attaches great importance to the sign of russian strategic partnership. and her, as you know, we are in the world of uncertainty and even chaos. but a good and consolidated assign russian partnership will be a force of certainty in jetting to this world of uncertainty. furthermore, bose china, russia now also call themselves the civilization of states and is the leaders of

2 great civilizations when they meet each other. the chinese are happy, he rushes ivy and we certainly are now during the year during this visit, the anticipated it's several agreements between moscow and beijing will be signed. obviously neither of us can can read into the future. but what can you tell us about the, the main areas of strategic interest between these 2 countries and the, when we use the term strategic partnership, it means a comprehensive and long term. it means a lot of political trust between the 2 countries and their leaders and they are peoples. so while we talk about the comprehensive, you name it political, economic, or technological, financial and other domains where we have common interests. even in the field of security as managing the news while have military joint drills,

et cetera. so it's really important a part of the global strategic balance. that's really the weight of the 2 major country like china. russia can play now size between moscow and beijing only really seems have grown stronger since the start of the war in ukraine. why do you think that the china hasn't joined in, you know, the western sanctions in many attempts by other countries to isolate mosque or why? why the scene took on the opposite way? if anything, essentially what you observe, what has happened is the russia has been isolated by the west, but the west has being isolated by the rest. and the rest, of course, in china is a major player in this particular.
