6:05 pm
. kanza in areas such as a rock where it has been used low 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 thing. and vladimir putin issued
6:06 pm
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 deep in trade cooperation. a correspondent for the c g t and news channel has more on those plans from which dana and our russia had maintained a very good bilateral trade relations. you know, china has been russia's largest trading partner for 30 years and running 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
6:07 pm
a vital position on china's bowden road initiative. as ad china's for a ministry spokesperson earlier said that president she is visit 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 the lengthy talks, russia's liter hosted a state dinner at the kremlin was a celebratory toast, were made flawed of mere food and added once again that the country's 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 you was saying their goodbyes, changing pain reiterated again that russia and china are leading the way and a new changing world.
6:08 pm
a good with study abuse. good with doing analysts say that president she's 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 the anti russia agenda. even on tuesday, the nato, she said that china needs to speak to the ukrainian president. it is for ukraine to decide, ah, well thought acceptable, a condition. so for in the peaceful solution, a channel there for needs to start to understand ukraine's perspective and to
6:09 pm
gauge with pressed on. so lensky and 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 sushi got reaction to the visit of the chinese president from a panel of guest who discussed everything from the long term impact of western dominance to the possibility of beijing's proposed peace plan for ukraine becoming a reality. 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
6:10 pm
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 do us. but it's a but it seems all alice on 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,
6:11 pm
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 dual program that was brought in by the by the administration
6:12 pm
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 de 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
6:13 pm
be concerned about their niche, it and the needs. and now we are see opposite trends. and it will those this portrayed can. and does this can met by the us that is showing a clia treno equalization which could tongue bad because equal to wars as trade, an interests more segregated into world is becoming a more serious um, gain, you know, people for college and we understand that. but it is quite unreasonable that the us now is open the asking people to we any piece plans when you craig, as you raised ray that these, ah young. there are currently 20 african country meters here in moscow seeking collaboration. yet we are seeing an under cam food exclusive cups in the name of democracy plug la coarsely and with standard roches. foreign minister says the actions of the west, which go against international humanitarian law,
6:14 pm
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 is known for causing devastating health effects. and usually they've already lost all sense of orientation in their actions. and now those actions undermined a strategic stability 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 that it won't end well for them. and there's not, no, going a little earlier archie, steve sweeney joined. my colleague, worry, sir, shake to discuss the meaning of this controversial moved by the u. k. this
6:15 pm
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, baroness goldie, as we've heard her confirmed that britain will send this alma pacing rounds which contain to please did you writing this is part of the challenge a to tank package with 14 of em 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 when it's her a gray area in terms of the legislation. now, the united states used
6:16 pm
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've 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 a 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 ground have said that a bad one had a lover. we didn't expect our 1st child to be born deformed before the u. s.
6:17 pm
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. 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,
6:18 pm
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
6:19 pm
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 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 things in ukraine. a time when others are talking about a peaceful resolution here, pan said he's professor steven guyette. she 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 again, the federal republic of yugoslavia found people are dying. the official statistics said that the number of cancer,
6:20 pm
leukemia and other connected illnesses are 2 and a half times higher in, in serbia, and montenegro than a that you know, compared to the world average. i don't think that the use of western military aid will change the war over all of course it will bring death. but why i'm really concerned about is this vicious that, that, 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.
6:21 pm
meanwhile, a report by the chief foreign correspondent and, and be seen this richard angle claiming that 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 treated that the death of many iraqis had taken a back seat in the report felt physically ill watching richard angle of report from baghdad on the 20th anniversary of the u. s. invasion, he presented the war as a success painting, a picture of a modern free iraq while giddily recalling his friend row seat to the her riffing 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. snug refers like angle. the death of countless iraqis in foreign troops is barely even an afterthought. a recent survey
6:22 pm
says more than 1000000 or rockies have died from direct violence since the us led invasion in 2003 rocky military personnel. debt stood at more than $16000.00 with the entire operation for the us coming with the price tag. i'm nearly 3 trillion dollars. the founder of the rocky modern forum says iraq is in a protracted crisis after the events that began in 2003 little tuition that have been resulted. york of the 2003, a war 2, this kind of crisis in all kinds of aspect aspects of subtleties and aspects of lack of government. weakness would result in tourism from josh in 2014, you know, the media, it's very powerful. united states and the worst,
6:23 pm
and they want to show their people, they never become stakes. there was, was a right decision. this is what they want. this is what they came. and this is what they want to, to see, to ask people to view 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 was a very big asking i'm sticks in. take those have been done for the past 20 years. anger has spelled over onto the streets of paris after 2 motions of no confidence in the government were defeated in parliament. oh, it's the 6 consecutive day of mass protest nationwide. all over president microns
6:24 pm
pension reform plans and the capitol thousands made their feelings clear, setting fire to garbage bins, and letting off fireworks. police use tear gas to try to break up the crowds. despite the scenes, the government has vowed to press on with those plans, which at their heart will see the retirement age 5 by 2 years to 64, all focus will shift to president my crown on wednesday, i mid reports he set to address the nation on the issue the new israeli government is extreme as to and driven by racist sentiment. that's the view of the palestinian prime minister. his comments came after a top is really official, so there is no such nation as palestine, and it doesn't have a language or history. in the past, we 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
6:25 pm
extremist racist and scientists ideology that drives the current israeli government . it was a very, extremely controversial and many fail planetary statement by use real finance minister. they had of the countries far right religious zionism 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 philistine nation. the reason or posting in history, there is no palistine in a language. small just statement came on the same day as israeli and palestinian delegations with mediation all the wise jordan and egypt held a security sum. a pain shot him and she came to taking steps to ease boiling tensions on the ground. the situation in the region escalated reasons, dramatically, with increased casualties from both sides had of course, in this context of desperate international attempt to collect the situations,
6:26 pm
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 in spite of that violate stage or damien israeli piece. tricky and international more and the official jerusalem had to be quick to join to come the situation by saying that a real recognizes jordan's territorial integrity. and nothing has changed in this position because we have to sort of the statements made by minister in israeli gulf and a racist inflammatory and provocative the release of these statements from a podium presenting an alleged map of israel that includes the occupied palestinian
6:27 pm
territories and includes a hush in like kingdom of jordan. these are statements, positions, and actions that are inflammatory, racist, and reflect an exclusionary racist on extreme 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, deadly attack by israeli settlers just a day before should be wiped out. he later publicly apologized and now he did it
6:28 pm
again. we heard earlier from a palestinian journalist who believes that israel bold those as all peace efforts and is let only by its own interest. i think it's really government. yeah, blackmail to buy their own making because a mckinney, i was trying to stay out of jail and he has commented 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 mercy. if the, if he goes against them, they will make it the government for so he has little choice. he's entering israeli with anger in the american xander in the world. and allison knew the anger in georgia to which they have a history, if you would, only because he wants to stay out of jail. and so this is the problem of nathan he has on making by putting himself with the radical races groups. then they basically are black men in 2 days earlier. they were meeting in the shadow, michelle,
6:29 pm
and before that, they're me, when i come by the us, the american jordanians, the actions are trying to get a really, to deescalate and israel promised to be escalate. 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 on that day security solution. 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 next time with ah
