and engagement across the trail. when so many find themselves will to part, we choose to look so common ground with blow even use it, but the u. k. as a now it's 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. moscow warns that the u. k. will be violating international law if it goes ahead with its promise to send toxic depleted uranium munitions to you? correct? judging thing wraps up is 3 day visit hit of all scope saying that china and russia leading the changes that the world has not seen enough on video for some of the program in palestinian school on mass demonstrations. and the hunger strikes to

protest against well, many of calling persistent abuses by his radio authorities as the holy month of ramadan gets under way with good to have you with us for this. i was live broadcast from moscow it's. it's a full program of enlightening and disturbing stories, so let's get straight to them right now. moscow has expressed a scathing criticism of western powers, accusing them of trying to dominate the world at all costs, including by violating international law. those remarks are made in response to the u. k. announcement that it will supply ukraine with toxic uranium laden, ammunition known for turning form a combat zones into uninhabitable wastelands. the russian president vladimir putin raised the issue at a news conference alongside his chinese count abad. lovin eustace sla, but the u. k. has 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. we are 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 new killer component lead depleted uranium artillery rounds have been previously used by western military's to a pierce opponents ahmed weaponry. and especially tanks, though, despite what our grave environmental concerns, russia's foreign ministry has warned about the devastating impact of using such ammunition too cheaply meaning it shall, was depleted uranium destroying only current generations, but also future once these weapons have already been used in recent history, they inflict in comparable damage in contrast with conventional weapons, but they also have a direct impact in human health. the targets of munitions will suffer as well.

those currently residing in the affected area as well as future generations. in addition to killing people, these munitions also destroy the land and they affect the soil and the ground water from mental years. they are glad illustrated here, reaction there from the russian of foreign ministry. let's i get more detail on this now. artie, steve sweeney are joining us here live in the studio on this program. it okay, a disturbing story there, of course, and it only gets more and more disturbing. steve strong words, however, from maria's a hot over yes, incredibly strong words. they're hiding highlighting the potential long term impact on ukraine in terms of the use of depleted uranium under high levels of radio activity in the associated problems that that brings. now she said the use of depleted uranium can cause a genocide for the population there. so incredibly strong in her use of words there, but she expressed concern that ukrainians are not aware of just how serious this is and the long term impact of the use of depleted uranium because they are only told

that the west is helping their country. but of course, you described a propaganda machine operating and of course, in ukraine there is only one news channel that at the moment those that had already been closed on was soon shut down soon after february, the 24th. and after the military operation began by presidential decree that say what she said, i mean you, when you mile ukrainians are being told, has the west is advocating billions in foreign currency to become a prosperous state. what billions if they are ready to use depleted uranium on this earth, do know the opponent began to export, fertile soil from there as the nazi troops during the 2nd world war. do you understand why you were in such a hurry? because after the use of shells were depleted, uranium the crop, if any, will only be poison was stiff. what about what about the long term consequences of using uranium tips? ammunition will cause see use of depleted uranium on the battlefield. main remains

controversial. it's kind of a, a bit of a legal gray area, but what we do know is that the, the united states use depleted uranium perhaps most famously in the iraqi town of fallujah. and what we saw was a rise in birth defects arise in cancers. we saw arise in, in miscarriages. a 2010 study by a leading medical journal found a 38 fold increase in leukemia. now to put that in perspective, that's higher than that seen in survivors of the ha rossimer bomb attack. of course the nuclear bomb dropped on the japanese town at the end of 1945. now, i spoke to medics on the ground there last week i was influenced and they said there was undeniably a causal link between depleted uranium and these abnormalities that we've seen. but they also told me that they've been placed under pressure by the united states not to speak out arm about this. now course,

the report that i refer to the 2010 report was barely covered in the western press at all. meaning that a scandal of felicia has been subjected to, to a cover up. but let's listen to what some people on the ground of said to the bad mother lover, we didn't expect our 1st child to be born deformed before the us 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, or the 2nd baby was also born to have them and they can only follow dell. there was thick smoke and a strange smell, wendy. yes, for storm felicia. we inhaled it and immediately went to wash up 18 months later. my baby was born in the 8th month of pregnancy, but died 10 minutes after he was born because he had lim, deficiency, and congenital malformations. we were very sad to try to cope with it. the doctor said it's not uncommon in advisors to have another baby, but our 2nd and 3rd children were referring to to jordan,

where doctor said it was because of the white press used by the us forces and below . joe. you also said it takes at least 10 years, more bodies to get rid of the radiation with just my father was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in 2021. they told us that he is sick and feeling poorly. and the reason is that felicia was a battleground from 2005 to 2013, especially in the district. we are living in the monk. we are not the 1st or the last case. us forces bomb the city here with white phosphorus and other weapons. now, of course has what happened in fluid or isn't the 1st time we've seen depleted uranium used nato has admitted to dropping 31000 bombs a chart with uranium during its bombing campaign. and you get sloppy in 999 and hundreds of italian soldiers died as a result of exposure to that material. they're involved in a court case against the military alliance. now one serbian lawmaker who's been

part of the investigations into the long term impact of depleted uranium, found the cause serious damage to the countries, natural environment, polluting air, water, and soil. now, some experts have said that the use of depleted uranium presents a major global threat is worth quoting. this one academic study which described depleted uranium as the trojan horse of nuclear war. and it said the use of depleted uranium weaponry, defying all international treating you will slowly. and i like all species on earth including the human face and get the united states continues to do so with full knowledge of it potential. so it's not surprising that the united states, along with, from prison have led the charge opposing cause for an outright find or even a moratorium on the use of depleted uranium on the battlefield. britain has previously claimed absurdly the highly higher levels of radio radioactivity

associated with depleted uranium are not correct. they said that the levels of radioactivity had no war but not found in household appliances. while the us is moved to denial, causal link between depleted uranium and the abnormalities and p facts and the problems that we have already heard about. now, of course, to otherwise would leave those countries open to potential war crimes charges. but the world health organization has also expressed concern is over the use of depleted uranium insoluble, 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 some experts have also said that the world health organization, well health organization was also pressured into a down playing or suppressing evidence into the effects of

a depleted uranium. this of course, is adding fuel to those claims of a cover up. now, earlier this year, in january, the white house issued a statement. it refused to confirm whether it was supplying similar rounds, but we understand the pentagon has now said that it would not be following britain in supplying a depleted uranium to the, the conflict in ukraine. but what we do know is the west continues to violate international law, and it's never held accountable for its actions so profoundly disturbing story, and it's not going to fade away any time soon. ot steve sweeney. thank you very much. thank you for this all comes as several members in the us congress have urged president joe biden to send a cluster munitions to ukraine. a senior russian diplomats, as washington's arm supplied to ukraine, clearly show that the u. s. is directly involved in this conflict. we are right to urge you to mediately provide close to mean you should, such as dual purpose,

improved conventional munitions to the ukrainian armed forces remain deeply disappointed in your administration's reluctance to provide you cleaned with the right type, an amount of loan wage foyers and maneuver capability to great and exploit operational breakthroughs against the russians increasingly more lethal long range and complex modern weaponry systems are being considered to saturate the battlefield on the ukrainian side. by doing so, the u. s. has repeatedly confirmed its status as a party directly involved in the conflict. or despite many people understanding the risks of essentially prolonging an escalating a conflict. american, john was glen greenwald as to the washington only once the conflict to continue in order to weaken russia with ukraine being used, quote, as a port of western powers. from the very beginning, it's been clear that the u. s. wants is war to continue and wants to go on for as long as possible, because they have no interest in protecting ukraine. they instead want to 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 taken and 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 fine lay 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 clearly, as our various western players do want to prolong the conflict, there are concerns back home about a lack of funding for crucial medical services for america's own soldiers. military

deals with a soaring rate of suicides and its ranks. as we understand more than $500.00 active u. s. military personnel committed suicide in 2021. a reasons include abuse and depression. after retiring from the military of many veterans to sorta just take their own lives and factor, suicide is the 2nd largest cause of death for retired us soldiers. more than a 125000 such deaths document is since 2001. but suicide not the only issue. american soldiers are facing a reports of sexual harassment of female members of the on forces as well as veterans suffering from while drug abuse and post traumatic stress disorder. we spoke with our civil rights attorney, robert patio, who says that the u. s. misuse is, is military by fighting offensive was abroad or for it something america has to make better use of our troops who are on active duty only silly them to combat. when is it directly into the fence of the united states of america? not these wars of colonization,

not leave here. you worn out the wars to settle conflicts and other places. america has not 40 defense of war, perhaps as to war 1812. so we deploy our troops less around the globe and don't have them an app to fire situation to have a far lower chance of having mental illness and p t. s. the develop it in a country that has a $830.00 of $1000000000.00 merit military defense budget. how is the belief of vinny that we should be investing further in the health and safety? the long term of our soldiers to america was never fully been able to compensate and care for veterans after they've returned home. and i think this should be one of the reasons that american, all the nations should take a very strong look at reason for going to arm conflict. because the, the fighting does not stop at the succession of hostilities. the fighting often for the combatants remains woodard content or containing the remainder of their lives. meanwhile, the ukrainian conflict on a potential pause for a peaceful resolution what disgust by teaching ping and vladimir putin during that

talks in moscow. black games to a movie is full, as we believe that many of the points of china's piece plan are similar to our views and can be taken in action for the peaceful settlement. when the western key of are ready to accept these. however, so far we see no willingness on their park. the 12 point plan was put forward by beijing last month and includes clauses about a ceasefire, a resumption of direct dialogue and the end of sanctions. however, instead of engaging and dialogue, the ukranian precedent has complained that china ignored the ukrainian peace plan that kia had previously conveyed to beijing viet diplomatic channels. meanwhile, washington has said that china is not impartial regarding the conflict, but should exert pressure on moscow to end. you can reasonably look at china is impartial in any way. they haven't condemned this. so now china wants to play a constructive role here in this conflict. then they are depressed russia to pull

which troops out of ukraine and ukrainian southern territory. they should urge urge president putting deceased bombing cities, hospitals, and schools to stop the war crimes in the atrocities and end the war today. it could happen late now. while the west, the media has been sounding the alarm bells and showing really open skepticism about the deepening ties between moscow invasion. even son saying it would be the west worst nightmare to see the friendship get even closer. and we heard from experts on our own chinese affairs to say the western powers are afraid of the rising influence of china and russia. it was a great deal of, ah, falls, the narrative in the west let by the united states. i sort of demonizing china, demonizing, russia and this is as a reflex action and kind of fear. add that the u. s. lead hedge money and it seems to be under seach. and,

and you can see that they are playing this false narrative in ham blackening demonizing. china over human rights overseen jan over hong kong. our over am a walkway and even over tick tock and, and, and anything you know, can be twisted, add to implied at a devilish a china set out to destroy the will. now the reality is fall from the case is it is absolutely a fear of the emerging multi polar world that would put the u. s. in a 2nd place, just one of many. so at this juncture i eat out fear and panic. i was kind of driving that, remember, originally the us wanted to make sure that russia and europe did not come together here. europe's manufacturing prowess with rushes. resources would have been, i threat to usaa jeremy economically. so unfortunately what they've done is they've

pushed together china and russia, which is even more fearsome og cooperation and at this juncture, and they're in a panic. there's huge and things trip to moscow wrapped up on wednesday. i live over now to a corresponded a. i'll take horse wanted i che bowels on the atmosphere surrounding the 3 day visit. interestingly, president, she chose bosco for his 1st visit. after his initial appointment as president was really marked, his visit has been the warm, through which the 2 men have greeted each other. how they've addressed each other throughout this landmark visit. of course a g o p. nichols at power house of visit with the eyes of the world firmly ya 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 won't allow me, it's 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. our relationship is built on contributing to the progress of mankind. we guided by the principles in the un charter and a 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, russian chinese relations aren't 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 friendship grows and burdens 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 a shabbos or t, the nuke of a moscow. well, as china and russia, promot global cooperation and multi polarity, a western powers to pay rather determined to counter those efforts. and while the

chinese and russian leaders were meeting here at moscow, canada disclosed a proposal for a new defense alliance with the us and 2 countries near china's border. that of japan and south korea. now the lines will report lead, counter arising, russian and chinese influence, and the asia pacific thesis is supposed to be based on a previous quadrilateral framework that included america, japan, india, and australia. we heard from independent political analyst, alessandra bruno, who says the world is fed up with western approaches to that of international polity. linda, equal article issue, i believe the world is, it is changing. it's had enough of the, let's call it 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 that reliance was supposed to fight communism and protect the west

from the ideological spread and military spread. and it was countered by the war, so packets was promptly dismantled. i do think this could be the beginning of a resurgence of something along the lines of war. so back, but this time involving a moscow looks to the easter rather than to the west. stockton, the beginning of the muslim holy month of ramadan is marked by protests on prisoners hunger strikes against israeli policies and palestine. a protest as are gathered to support palestinians who have been jailed by israeli authorities of prisoners there of balance to go on hunger strike as they say those facilities are rife with abuse. but let's get details now with autism. maria financial prisons are not supposed to be resorts, nor is jail time vacation, but it's deemed in an israeli prison, for palestinian inmates is especially tough. it's had,

i'll say my way is from ramallah. he was sentenced 8 times and has spent a total of 9 years in israeli correctional facilities for his alleged connection with the popular front for the liberation of palestine and resistance movement that israel considers a terrorist organization. tortures sold her confinement, medical, neglect, food and sleep deprivation. constant searches of cells, the least is long, and the goal is not to correct a person. it's rough to leave. but to break, i do apologize for jumping in all of a sudden barriers ride their surgery, laughter off rushes for minutes. their meeting is at a tray and counterpart, live and such. let's listen in january where she lives and we had a very useful visit. she's good to go see some metal visit of the rational legation to smart them, where we stop them to the president, the size of working themselves. and we make sure it was alice. and today are those wood up. so we continue to use a pro discussion. so that all,

all the matters that we talked about during now or january they said, and we agreed with a pretty good i'm sad, but we are making progress along that i had finding options for optimal forums of our partnership under the modern circumstances. no pro you that was she wanted the goals at the one you descending the international law in the added maintenance that had germany in the world can clearly seen on the african continent. first of all, and today's like has said that we should have a discount on the goals of the further developmental traditionally friendly relations with ben rushing retreat. we have reiterated our new chill willingness to continue to strengthen our cooperation. i'm so you have to take the f one. and

is it? is it done? yeah. he took me, she would betray the live. so we have re, a 3rd of the company, our approaches we need make them more detailed and we talk about further development corporation. all the areas we pay attention to the corporation pull, no more screen to put them happening in the vast potential was introduced in economic matters. we are interested to develop some joint promising project transport in transport infrastructure. what's the agriculture that which isn't the actual operation and extraction of the research says, and we also company, we talked about the interest of the russian companies to enter their a train market. it is q a be show an hour or a train,

the friends promise to make a suggestion regarding the areas insidious where the interest in the interest you or we could have an actual interest from the point of view of lisa because with attraction of the russians the enterprises and we also talked about the support for the business circles of our countries in establishing direct context between example. but we also talked about special significance that went through the training all from fastenal and the russians universe. it is that we have bria for any our willingness to increase the quote us on the status of our ships. that we the issue that i gave to eric, paid from the rational federal budget, which was and so we are ready to take into consideration any requests that our trend friends might have regarding they've decrees that they wanted it's thursday and to receive the book and my colleague, my friend of mine yet sure,

does that education is priority corporation with the russians iteration. so here as well. so our assessment, our plans are overlapping william the exclusivity if so, i also talked about corporation in the military institute military, ethnical area and also in defense important component of our cooperation. considering the situation in the region of them. african horns is and persisting tensions of you and you stay around the notice here among the countries from the reach and brush of those bilateral leisure. this is the relevant states. and so it's a permanent member of the un security council. and that's it in promoting constructive approach is aimed at joining efforts and overcoming differences by insidious fielding achieving the balance of interest with the q and, but who is can we use such

a constructive approach is again using sustain some attempts by certain western countries who are trying to preserve this instability and who are always looking for some irritants to stop countries of the region from uniting based on something constructive something positive. we also talked about that preparation for the 2nd rush africa summit that is planned for the late july in st. petersburg and there's not obviously we talked about regional and international issues. i partially mentioned that before that when us option us through in regards to the african continent. we are eager to continue to deepen our cooperation regarding international matters and also to coordinate our activities within the united nations organization. when we also share the same position, we both stand for the protection of international law, both russia, eritrea stand,

ramco. so anybody knows within the g 's as she create the friends for the protection of the un charter. so both of us, we are part of this group. group has already been bullied with receiving quite a good reputation you had. but united many countries are still, and there are more and more countries who want to joined district, but as much as much meditation. and we also express, expressed our gratitude to our retrain transport there. but if you can see it in position regarding those political processes that were launched by the wisest, under and the guys under the use of the ukranian prizes and our friends bard and you showing principle the pros, they understand what is happening. so they express assessment, proving this spring, which is another example that we stand for,

the jackets for the principal solves that you went charter for the international law and such a principal or you one charter as the need to implement the resolution. so the security council, that's something well so stands for what's, as, you know, the situation with the launch or the special a military operation was provoked by the latin refusal by both ukraine and the west to implement the un security council resolution that some of the doors the main, scott cor, it's the hands, the west violated. and yes, the, you know, we bought a legation. so assume town in the un security council and left us with no other choice but to protect russian russian. speaking of this citizen saw the use of ukraine that were discriminated against this who suffered was suspended from the loss of their basic fundamental rights is human with dogs from the key now to

resume, but usually it's a little group of buttons. but for the prince and we will continue to support each other on other important matters that are on the agenda of the international community. one will probably my to keep it up also within the human rights issues within the un qualities that the west is trying to. well, it his eyes all the way it's and to use keep human rights research topics to interfere with the internal affairs of the sovereign state. so yes, but who are the got the at the we promote the joint skipper the way to the efforts as opposed to try for the food and energy security global method willis. and i mean, yes, we stand for considering this matter is we're looking consideration for the interests of all the states and not by following the logic that the us and the west or allies are trying to pose. and.
