a huge with ah, a u. k as a now it's not only the supply of tanks to cream, but also shells with depleted uranium. it seems that the west has really decided to fight russia to the last ukrainian mas go all the u. k. will be violating international law if it sounds sick. you rainy. i'm. i'm new nation to ukraine and if so, they will be an appropriate restaurant. she's in pain ramos, on his 3 day visit to moscow, saying that china and russia off they hadn't changed. is that the world hasn't seen

in a 100 years. ah, 6 consecutive night, a violent protest in paris has taken place following a much contested pension reform. and the i have an approved i $3000000000.00 bailout for crisis, 2nd for lanka, which the voted last year as it attempted to the previous open gauges, the us based organization. a good morning and welcome to our t international broadcasting live from much guy. it's just past the hour and as always, it's great to have you with us. i'm more at home. i mean, let's take a look at the top stories. this. our bhaskar has express scaling

criticism of western powers, accusing them of trying to dominate the world at all costs, including by violating international law. those revolves were made in response to the u. k. the announcement that it would supply ukraine will, toxic uranium laden ammunition, known for turning former combat, says into uninhabitable wastelands. russia present, puts in a raise the issue avenues conference alongside chinese. linda, she's in ping blurry ministers 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 nodded 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. depleted uranium mosley rounds have been previously used by

western military's to pierce opponents ahmed weaponry, especially tanks. despite the grain environmental concerns, are these, steve saline explains the potential consequences. the u. k. is planned to provide such ammunition to cave 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. unusual . they have already lost all sense of orientation in their actions, and now these actions undermine the strategic stability of the entire world. the 1st of all, these are the anglo saxons who are dragging the rest of the collective west with them. so who have imagined themselves as has humans for a long time and want to maintain this had yamani with all their might,

was this decision means that they are ready to take, not just risks, but to violate international humanitarian law. i was who was the case in 1999 in yugoslavia and much more like i wouldn't be surprised if that happens, but there's no doubt that it won't and well for them. little this announcement appears to be a very dangerous escalation. 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 uranium perhaps most famously in the rocky 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 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 again says now i heard this many, many times. and of course, a report the i just referred to, was barely covered in the western press. hitting 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 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. 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 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. 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 their company involved in a court case against the military alliance. now, some experts have said that the use of depleted uranium presents a major global threat is worth quoting. one academic study which described depleted uranium as the trojan horse of nuclear war. now, it said, the use of depleted uranium weaponry, defying all international treaties, who slowly annihilate all species on earth, including the human species. and yet the united states continues to do so with full knowledge of its destructive potential now, unsurprisingly, perhaps,

and that the u. s. along with france and britain have lead opposition to calls for a ban on the use of depleted uranium on the battlefield. a 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 call to 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 wodehouse 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. not that, of course, it 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 a could dangerous a dangerous the escalate things in ukraine a time when others a talking about a peaceful resolution. meanwhile, several men lived of the u. s. congress of urged present joe biden to send cluster munitions, c grain. american jealous, glen greenwood has asserted that the u. s. only once the convert to continue in order to weaken russia with ukraine being used as a poor no western powers. were i to urge you to

mediately provide close to munitions such as dual purpose, improved conventional munitions to the ukrainian armed forces remain deeply disappointed in your administration's reluctance to provide you quinn with the right type, an amount of loan wage boys and maneuver capability to great and exploit to promotional breakthroughs against the russians from the very beginning, it's been clear that the u. s. one says war to continue and wants to go on for as long as possible because they have no interest in protecting ukraine. they instead wanna sacrifice ukraine, have ukraine destroyed in order to advance what they think is the united states political interest geopolitical interest of weakening russia. and the way to do that is to use ukraine as a pawn kill as many ukrainians as possible destroy their whole country if they have to do in order to prolong the war as long as possible. and the response of the u. s . government is defenders has been we don't have any position about when the war ends that's completely up to the ukrainians when they want to end the war. thinking

in the war, if they don't, will support them and the lie just got revealed. if you listen to what john kirby said, they asked him, are the ukrainians willing to have a ceasefire? and he said, not only won't they, we won't allow it either, essentially admitting finely. what's wrong, been obvious at the country funding the war, providing the arms for the war, which is united states determines if and when the war ends and we obviously don't want that word. and so there's a propagandistic narrative from the beginning that the ukrainians are feisty, courageous, are fighting for their own country, and we are the scanned by their side. the reality is the complete opposite the ukrainians. do not want this war to continue ukrainians know that they're being used as cannon fodder for the interest of other people around the world. so it's a conscript army, they're forcing these ukrainians to go and die in huge numbers for things that are not in their interest. what's in their interest is to negotiate with the russians over the agreement that wall out ukrainian to ukraine, ukraine to keep the parts of their country that want to be ruled by kiev. and it's the united states and great britain that are blocking it purely for our own

interests. the going all of these advertisers pause for a peaceful resolution were discussed by she's in the ad realm if was in june, then folks in moscow hello, game 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 kia are ready to accept these, however, so far we see no willingness on their part. the management plan will put forward by beijing last month. it is comprise of 12 points which includes a cease fire, a resumption of direct dialogue between moscow and cave, a termination of unilateral sanctions against russia and respect tools, authority, oval countries. however, instead of engaging in dialogue, you claims, present the lens. he has complained that i make no li premium peace plan,

but keep conveyed to beijing by diplomatic channels. meanwhile, the u. s. has said that china is not at all impartial regarding the concrete, though it should exert pressure almost to end it. you can reasonably look at it, china is impartial in any way and they haven't condemn this the now china wants to play a constructive role here in this conflict. then they are press russia to poach troops out of ukraine and ukrainian sovereign territory. they should urge urge president pu deceased bombing cities, hospitals and schools to stop the war crimes in the atrocities and end the war today could happen late. now though, as a media has also sounded the alarm and shows skepticism about the deepening ties within moscow and beijing was i'm saying it would be the west's worst nightmare. oh yeah, my colleague, rory, sushi, got a reaction to the chinese prisons visit from

a panel of guests. the world is, 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 ideological spread a and military spread. and it was countered by the war. so fact, which was promptly dismantled and you know, chide china has, has come to moscow with a potential piece proposal for the conflict 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? 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 while the u. s. is scrambling book, all 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. he make a very good point alex, which i'll take over to, to benjamin chow now. because how, how do you think, benjamin, that, 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?

now we are seeing opposite the trends in it. well, there was this portray cam and there is this can let like a u. s. that is showing a clear trend of the globalization which could tongue bad because it equal few wars as trade, an interest more segregated, and a worries becoming a more serious um, game. ah, you know, people fall can't say we understand that, but it is quite unreasonable that the us now is albany asking people to reject any piece plans on ukraine as you raised right. that these no, no, i'm currently at 40 the african country leaders here. the most will seek in collaboration, yet we are seeing and other camp good exclusive cops in the name of democracy, but i'll look hoarsely. that was then did. she then said to him, also, robert's hop on wednesday, his odd scenes, costello shabbos on the atmosphere surrounding the 3 they visits. interestingly, president,

she chose bosco for his 1st visit after his initial appointment as president. and he has yet again returned to moscow as his 1st visit post his at 3rd reelection. his unprecedented election that was really marked this visit has been the warmth with which the 2 men have greeted each other. how they've addressed each other. throughout this landmark visit, of course, a geopolitical at power house of visit, with the eyes of the world firmly on moscow. but it's been really fascinating to see how the body language between these 2 men has evolved throughout the visit. and we can have a listen to how they refer to that close friendship. here it will collapse. rachida . chinese russian ties have gone far beyond bilateral relations over the last 10 years. and all of crucial and vital importance for today's world order. a relationship is built on contributing to the progress of mankind were guided by the principles in the un charter and dead to an unbiased view were always ready for

peace and dialogue. we firmly stand on the right side of history that project, if you are you like 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. we really have to understand that while this french of grows and virgins, the eyes of the world are certainly now on moscow. and beijing, as they seek to put meet on the bones of the agreements, they've signed shabbos, or t va new quote, moscow. ah, the beginning, although the muslim holy month of ramadan is a mom to wipe protests, i'm prisoners, hunger flags, i guess is really policies empower progresses. i gather that support primacy. knew

who i been, jen bye is really authorities. prisoner there have vowed to go on hunger strike as they say. those facilities are rife with abuse. r t correspondent, maria for national, explains the difficulties of how seen prisoners endure in israeli jails. prisons are not supposed to be resorts, nor is jail time vacation, but esteemed in an israeli prison for palestinian inmates is especially tough. it's awfully my way is from ramallah. he was sentenced 8 times and had spent a total of 9 years in his railey correctional facilities for his alleged connection with a popular front for the liberation of palestine or resistance movement that israel considers a terrorist organization tortures solitary confinement, medical neglect, food and sleep deprivation constant searches of cells, the least is long,

and the goal is not to correct a person inter after leaves, but to break and subdue the your want her to design be boiler turner and more. there is nor her birth. there is no way for you as palestinian to get to reassure you done to order and dependence. you have to give under to know that we are a strong and you are ru weeks, then you have to live as we want family visit. sorry, man. the sensitive issues he said out has 5 kids. his youngest son was 5 days old when he was arrested last. the next time it had off. so him, he was almost 3. the 1st time he gave the son hug was another half a year later, as physical conte is highly restricted during the rare 45 minute long visits. it was never easy eat it off, says, but it seems to have worse, and after ben could be it, had of the jewish power party was appointed. israel's national security minister

overseen prisons. that was the start of what many c as a brutal crack down has part of this campaign. there am an honor things ordered shower times shortened and tried to shut down jail. bakeries you is not logical. the terrorists who murdered children and women will get fresh bread every morning as if they were at a restaurant. horrible kitchen with us, russia soon was luca. i hope it's just the beginning to end the summer camp conditions in jails. it's almost impossible for a foreign journalist to get access to film inside israeli jails. rare reports mostly from israeli media have become the sole source of visual information from behind bars, and some of them indeed betray israeli prisons like 5 star hotels. we show one such claim to it out. he watched it carefully so that a big lie because a dessert aborts. as we talk the one door builder

a very strong inside montoya libertas tina does notice. in order to make it easy for the world, the really community and for others underwear. to understand that when the bliss to notice and dameon is that a model based angio that defends prisoners rise in israeli and international chords . and in the media, they've documented piles of violations and discrimination in more than 3 decades of work. if you re compare with the treatment of that is that all the prisoners inside the israeli prisons even those that they are arrested for security cases, even those that they are convicted with attacks against palestinians. they would be treated differently from thou palestinian prisoners. this is part of the apartheid regime that we're talking about that the israeli state is imposing amnesty international and human rights watch issued numerous reports condemning some

israeli policies regarding palestinian prisoners. however, the international criminal court, which is examined in the legality of israel settlement, for example, so far decided not to investigate the prisoner situation. hoarding to their homestead, taught it, transferring the prisoners is a war crime. torture is a war crime. arbitrary detention is a war crime, these are violations are systematic and widespread, and it's used for decades. so there is a very powerful base to claim that in the case of the prisoners, there is a commitment, like israel is committing war crimes and crimes against humanity. this is all for praise and the only israeli jail, technically situated in the west bank palestinian prisoners behind these walls as well as in other israel prisons have been suffering violations of their human rights. as israel new conservative government intensifies, it's craig down if their conditions are not improved. the anger may spill out tend

to the streets healthy occupied westbank fueling can already dramatic escalation on the ground. reason, osha, r. t, from the palestinian administration. to rossa, where the 6th consecutive day of mass protests has taken place. as i know, governors move to grades, the pension 8 has been bold into chaos on the streets. ah ah, thousands of people will take him to the feet of paris express their anger,

including setting fire to rubbish bins and semi our flesh is frost as president macklin use, a legal loophole to bypass parliament. and he macs the pension reform without a vote by the assembly, it will raise the national retirement age is 64 years old. in response, parliament held a vote of no confidence which maximum government only merrily survived. 2 thirds of europeans surveyed across 10 countries say that russia is their biggest adversary. those polls were conducted by a british establish think tank. the european council on foreign relations are t contributor rachel mazda gave us her take on the topic. the big question is, why do so many citizens of european countries now consider russian adversary in

conflict with their own country? well, 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 triples 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, 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 cache to their own military 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 sneaks with sanctions

then that military support would have faith the way for a decisive victory. the truth is that step by step armaments after armaments, we are falling ourselves totally immersed in this war without all government and europe attempting strategy to follow and negotiating path and arrive at a be solution. ok, 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 effectively been able to manipulate european public opinion in favor of a greater tolerance for a prolonged conflict in ukraine against russia. i'm hearing 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 pause in such a short amount of time. we're either has approved a $3000000000.00 bailout for crisis stricken show lanka was defaulted last year as it attempted to fulfill previous obligations to the us based obadiah zation. the international mas yvonne says, of the south asian nation, but now allow corruption to undermine this bailout of its bankrupt economy. sri lanka will be the 1st country in asia to undergo a governance diagnostic exercise by the i m. f will look forward to further engagement and collaboration with stakeholders and civil society organizations on

this critical reform area. she longer has finally been able to secure that $3000000000.00 be locked package from the international monetary fund after almost a year off negotiations with them. but important to understand he'll of that this been out package will not drastically or magically solve all of she long calls problem. to remember, last year, sri lanka had defaulted it and failed to repeat loan, and it was declared bankruptcy. and then it was unable to rees fish. once we, we do remember the images from last year when sri lanka, i was really in the, in the peak for the economic and political problem are we remember those are 2 sneaking 4 kilometers outside betral stations to get to be able to get done. that very expensive fuel, but this economic problem, remember,

also led to the out store of the long standing powerfully roger buckshot government . and now when you look at sri lanka, with these star below to package our scores are there. there's definitely a rio hopa, but i still think targets that have been set by the i m f for c lanka and also to member. 5 are now she longer wants to bring down the inflation of all these commodities that we're talking about. inflation means a big in fact, one of the biggest problems in c lanka in facial stands, even currently at about 63 percent. so one of the targets that i missed has given to c langa is to bring down that inflation at least to say about 12 to 18 percent by the end of the year. i. m. s will do a review when every 6 months. so remember, this below package is a 3 or dean because she has to, like i can get out of its perpetual cycle of borrowing funds from foreign pow,

the only by establishing more efficient e. all right, policies. it's not a permanent solution to say length of sealant. god itself has to decide what to do in future because i am, if means you have some external policies you have to implement and or you like it or not. there are some policies that you know, nobody can absorb at the moment. but still, people keep quiet because we are recovering from my unperceived and going to be crises. the issues like i has to address. yeah. he's dead demps and have to get together and come up with policies that they again had demonstrated to get out of the situation because you cannot go on like this forever. so i think unless she, lunk, i'll get it.
