2 2 ah ah, the headlines are this, our u. s. officials scrambled to investigate, often more than a 100 classified documents only including plants. will ukraine conflict as well as note on china? beijing warns the west against using a quote for pretext of democracy to support taiwan in defiance of previous agreements with china and the central african nation of china expels of german ambassador on allegations. we have no way that was on the 15th with very warm welcome to you from the entire international news scene live from us.

let's take a look at the top stories this out. the president says it is investigating a leak of classified documents about ukraine and china that i currently circulating online. western media outlets of science in the u. s. officials are saying the files are legitimate with one even admitting it is quote nightmare for washington. intel agencies earlier my caller unit o'neill got the details, my correspondent shabbos. it's an astounding air leak of over a 100 highly classified documents. and they were released widely on the social media as well, which means they proliferated rapidly, globally as well. and it is a significant embarrassment for the ad, the western intelligence services, if you like, if they are indeed valid as so we've had a lot of speculation as their origin, their authenticity, of course, unit that claim and counter claim. what, you know,

we're looking at these and having a little bit of experience in this sort of area. they look exceptionally a valid to, to a lot of observers. and if it is, if they're not actually genuine, there's been a huge amount of effort and resource put into making them look exceptionally genuine. of course, you know, must be watching the situation around the world waiting to see what the develop and sorry, but we actually have a look at what the new york times actually said windshield the story. now, analysts say more than $100.00 documents may have been obtained, along with the sensitivity of the documents themselves, could be hugely damaging us officials said, a senior intelligence official called the leak, a nightmare for the 5 ice a. so interestingly, they also mention in this trove of documents at china and the middle east. they're basically it intelligence that would be of interest and would have been widely shared among what they called the 5 eyes in the west, which is australia, canada, new zealand, that united kingdom of the united states. basically the anglo sphere,

of course, the key area of interest right now is what it says about the ukraine, inoffensive, which is apparently coming up much telegram the much advertised a. and there are significant military details mentioned in these documents about the buildup of western equipment at when equipment is arriving at various ukrainian units. field intelligence who is where, when equipment is an issue to arrive and also fascinating about training strength. how well ukrainian troops have been trained, or how much equipment they've received, how long they're waiting for their equipment. so it's a, it's an exceptionally complex at trove of documents. and it's a serious concern that said, the pentagon, i would imagine we have been in communication with the department of defense related to this matter and have begun an investigation. will that leads us on to the big question then che, of who could be behind these leaks? just looking, as well as to the fact that there's 2 separate probes into this by washington.

you've got the pentagon, i'm the justice department suggesting they're fearful about more leaks. emerging yeah, of course, and i mean the nature of this, it will obviously bring allegations in the west as well that this is russian interference and meddling. and we've already seen some of that now from the, from the western media. but of course, the nature of these huge operations is there's so many people have access to data relating to logistics. these are huge, combined arms operations, the likes of which we haven't seen in europe since the 2nd world war. so you've got a lot of people with access to data. so it's very difficult to keep this absolutely . watertight. of course, dmitri past coff in the kremlin, has suggested that this is proof a parent that nato has a granular and high level. and you know, involvement in the operation of this conflict. so you know, in, in, you know, in the round we can't for sure say who is behind this,

who we know will be very difficult to find the source of course. and you know, we're gonna have to watch it as it develops you in. and of course we'll, we'll get back and let you know, soon as we know more full of pentagon official, michael maloof says it could probably be a dis information campaign purposely. oh, cuz they do by washington. somebody within the bowels or the pentagon, were leaking information out and putting it on social media. which is strange. because if it was, if the documents were real and they they were, they would have been handled. and it was meant to get to the, the get to russia as the audience. it would have been handled a lot differently, not through social media. secondly, the, it's a number of the documents seem to be altered. i think that this was

a very feeble effort at different this information, not misinformation, but dis, information effort by somebody within the pentagon to expose . but they would say what they would think would be considered sensitive documents by people who they probably didn't think would go and, and test the veracity of the out of the content. some of the things in there just didn't make any sense. the pentagon is really upset because those documents are even though they were altered we're, we're actually originated out of the pentagon, so they've got, they've got their hands will and trying to understand who and who was involved in this, what appears to be a massive leaks even though the information may have been altered, it may have been, it may have been

a concerted effort by the pentagon or it could have been a, a loan was wanting to take it upon himself as to throw off and create an atmosphere of confusion. there are some serious claims coming from russia's defense mercy. it says that cubes. government is preparing to say the full flag operation using chemical weapons with plans to blame. lucko ortiz, a roman casarez, told us more about the alleged plans. the russian defense ministry says that says, this data has been confirmed by several independent sources. the goal to discredit russia internationally and to divert the attention of the world community from war crimes committed by ukrainian a nationalist that defense ministry claims that over the last 2 weeks, he had staged a fake front line of defense near the city of sumi,

according to the defense ministry, ukraine plans to deliver corpses of ukrainian servicemen to the equipped pseudo possessions and claim that their death allegedly occurred as the result of russian artillery ammunition, equipped with poisonous substances. now, the key of regime plans to treat this area, as well as the remains of ukrainian serviceman with chemicals. russia says that ukraine's next step will be to invite experts from western countries to documents they allege of use of chemical weapons by their washing armed forces. now, in order to make the provocation more credible the ukrainians, special services were instructed to prepare and publish faith radio intercepts on social media as well. now, those will involve alleged discussions by russian military about the preparation for the use of chemical weapons, as well as fabricated orders to receive special ammunition for grad multiple launch raucous systems. now defense ministry concludes that this provocation will allow key of to launch another media campaign in the western media in order to discredit

russia. beijing has warned the west to not go dal a dangerous part of using a quote, full printouts of democracy to support ty, one's independence and contain china. i ma'am, and he wished i. one is an inseparable part of china. shyness, sovereignty and territorial integrity has never been divided and division won't be allowed. some countries hype up the false narrative of democracy versus authoritarianism and used a pretext of democracy to support and connive with separatist forces in taiwan for independence in order to contain china. this approach is extremely dangerous and will not succeed. wrestler's cons as tie one regional leader paid a visit to the us and met with several high ranking officials. they're the same time you leaders were lobbying in china me thing with she didn't pay them effort to pull beijing away from moscow all take on today, rachel malls and shed

a views about how successful in manual, micron and of, of, on the learn. we're in that regard. when i entered it more christian western press like in the dynamic too. good cop bad cop with mack home being the charming good caught and vander line. being the schooled, some french commentators there wondering why france needed a chaperone at all. and why michael, couldn't just be diplomatic and play both roles. good caught and by cough like pretty much every other world leader and diplomat does. now president she's invite did give michael an opportunity to play statesman and scorsone p. r points at a time when he's not really scoring very much at home with the big news beaming around the world from france being images of authorities flashing with pension reform protesters violently, in some cases and to frontier gas as trash and buildings burn in the streets of cities around the whole country, but the photography that came out of that library put in so mac hall demanded

during this visit that china tell russia what to do. and ukraine, which went about as well as one might expect it to ship. it was going to show me no one can count on you to bring garage it to its census. and every one to the negotiating table drove on to ensure useful talks should be resumed. as soon as possible, the international community should work for a political settlement that accommodates all parties, this legitimate security concerns count on china. he could have played that role himself as one of the guarantors of the names sca cords, by insisting that ukraine respect the agreement, or macro could have taken the same neutral position as china when the conflict went hot. he didn't, so now was trying to dump the whole mass in china's lap with a gallic shrug. micheal also brought up the issue of nuclear weapons being deployed in allied countries. this was doctors, franchise the opinion, the nuclear weapons should be completely excluded from this conflict. that all

international treaties on this issue should be respected, and that under no circumstances should nuclear weapons be deployed outside of toad series of nuclear bowers, especially in europe. in this regard, it is necessary to remind every one of their responsibilities in particular russia . so and no foreign new deployments in europe are the americans aware of macros position, because the u. s. has needs deployed pretty much in a whole lot of european countries and has for the past several years. the 2 leaders also talked about the need for global food security, underscoring the need to facilitate green and fertilizer exports. no word though about what france is doing to stop the 44 percent of ukrainian grain that's getting out from going to europe as the turkish president pointed out earlier this year, where it's then being used to feed pays in spain to beef up european pork exports on one hand and to undercut the price of local farmers in poland, bulgaria, and romania,

whom the u was now having to bail out to the tune of 56300000 euros because of that fiasco. speaking of the e. u. it turns out that vander line didn't quite spend her trip eating big maxim donald, while macklin was swanning around in the state banquet. but it sounds like it was pretty close. shiny social media treated her like she was team america or world police's bad cop. she also didn't win over too many fans by waiting into the taiwan issue in china, saying that no one should change the status quo by force. and that tension should be resolved by dialogue. kind of rich coming from someone who constantly talks about the need for force and to up the military, anti against russia and ukraine to the detriment of de escalation. she can bring, basically told her politely to but out this taiwan issue is at the core of china's interests, the chinese government and its people will never agree to anyone making a fuss about the one china policy. anyone who expects china to compromise on the

taiwan issue is engaging in wishful thinking and will only shoot himself in the foot. murphy cases are mounting in the in the pacific. this follows counters the appointment of a mid aircraft to japan with to says, is part of a plan to track north korean maritime activity. now the survey of spain will monitor for sanction evasion activities in particular ship to ship transfer a few of the commodities by and by the un security council. the development also comes shortly after japan's moved to deepen ties with nato. as archie's dog quarter rebels. the north atlantic treaty organization has been sticking its nose in the endo pacific. that's as japan's foreign minister saying it's time to get cosy with the supposedly defensive military alliance. the security of europe in that of the indo pacific region can no longer be discussed separately. that was my

main message when i attended the nato ministerial meeting last year for the 1st time as japanese foreign minister. these efforts cannot be made by japan alone, and we welcome the enhanced engagement of nato, its members and partner countries in the indo pacific. as tokyo declares, it's looking to develop a deep strategic partnership with nato member state canada's wasted no time. and taking advantage of this new window to the pacific. it's already sent to military aircraft to japan, with the stated intent of helping and force un sanctions against north korea. and while pyongyang has been under un sanctions since 2006, there is no mandate for any one power to enforce them. no auto has taken the liberty of appointing itself as a policeman of the pacific with japan as it's deputy. together we are promoting a free and open endo pacific and protecting the international rules that keep us all safe. i thank japan. one of canada's most important defense partners in the endo pacific region for this strong relationship based on shared values,

economic links, and people to people ties. what's more is that this japan nato partnership seems to have been in the works behind closed doors for a. 7 while back in january and stoughton berg made an important visit to tokyo, less than a month after japan unveiled it's biggest military build up since world war 2. a $320000000000.00 plan to buy missiles capable of striking china and prepared to pan for sustained conflict. on surprisingly, beijing feels threatened and its own back yard us indo pacific strategy is in fact an attempt to gang up to form exclusive blocks to provoke a confrontation by plotting in asia pacific version of nato. its goal is to undermine regional integration through decoupling cutting chains. us claim to shape the strategic environment in which china operates actually reveals the real purpose of its indo pacific strategy. that is to and circle china as japan re militarize this for the 1st time since world war 2 and canada asserts

a military presence in the pacific. the western august military alliance seems to be preparing for war with china as well. specifically with australia planning to construct a nuclear powered submarine fleet. all things considered it doesn't exactly looked like nato was involved in defense if operations on the other side of the globe. asian affairs specialists. andrew noon says canada mat clothes move is in line with a wider west of subtlety to contain china. and as such, would evoke a response from beijing. this is a part of a global chessboard and led by the united states and to contain and confront china, which is seen to be a pacing challenge and the appear arrival, ram to the us and hedge many. and of course, you look at the whole chest ford there on the 1st island chain and

a 2nd line in chain al, with american they will assist and circling china's eastern seaboard. ah, and, and, and, and, and, and of course the, and in addition to our, for example, the for us iron chain center in okinawa, the 2nd on the chain center in guam are there of course the, and monarch, a straight outside singapore are controlled by the american 7th street, and now you, as you just reported at all, cuz i knew chris and marine deal with australia and end of life eyes alliance with them, canada. and you see the united kingdom are all focusing on china and now japan . and with this new am newly invented a new pacific strategy and tracking as, as in india. again, the whole law alignment is the conn's contain and confront china. and naturally china bills straightened because the us out on

a c is china's life blood are all the international trade and also supplied raw materials and i am and, and, and he sent you an ingredient staff or china's manufacturing power house and which 16, the stability of the child has government, so naturally china leads the react and hence john is building a blue water navy. so you got to look at this and, and at present happening ellwood, canada, japan, and all the rhetoric of our natal. i'm is only a candle ranch. i to bring natal to asia. pacific lag will now be re the central african nation of chad has ordered the german ambassador to leave the country within 48 hours on allegations, but he behaved no way that was on befitting of a diplomats. this decision of the government is motivated by the discourtesy

attitude and the non respect of diplomatic practices by the german ambassador as prescribed by the vienna convention. as close live mouse a local reporter zulu law. for more details on this is on good to see now. what more do we know about this story, please tell us. yeah. what had been said shortly. chad believed that jim and bassett was implies, his a bullet attitude in respect of diplomatic rules that way they gave him 48 hours to leave chat. what said the minister of communication, and when you look at the bridge, he is in gemini since 2021. he had previously served as a diplomat in the share and gola and see the pin. so he was also

a special presented chief of the government of german germany for the table. and that's who was playing. when you listen to become a look, gemini, they said that they don't have any. but kennedy sent clear reason for what that diplomat was explained. and now we're looking to see what is going on. but definitely when you listen to the terms of jemina, they say clearly that it was getting it many cases like the 20 of october put test. so look the gum and believe it was going be easy to see. and they say that the,

the paying a kind of a whole lot of bass, he's trying to be a part of it, and somebody look to be very active and outspoken person. same what he believes and he could be criticized. meantime, the transition in, in chap and by call is chad. these are the company in west africa to expand west them diploma for not to expecting local authority. this case has been by muscle and was due to play some by the way expense and took it up. i went ahead expanding the un coordination, re present it to be what that that's what i can say from now. grant is always a pleasure to share it with you. thanks so much for the update will speak to you again in my view. you live now to move my. how

about the alley? thanks for joining us here at sea. now we'll tell you about this topic. interesting, this german, i'm back to the, i mean 48 hours to leave the country. what was the urgency? do you think? well, for what is going on on the city today in may not from last night. i see you must have got a he as a point of view experience to the government saying that about the event of 20 of dollars and the government decided to expel him in within the 48 hours on even the minister of foreign affairs and make a statement today that they're saying that they don't have a problem with their money, but they wanted to leave the country within the time and, and you have to replace some of them. this is the minister of foreign affairs, from a statement today that the real estate i mean that the quite

a little of these of african countries, if you'd like sort of moving away from these, you know, former colonial powers, if you like. i mean, do you think that the trend here that we're seeing in chad or is this something different? while it's skylar similar, it's not something that's happening in the past years. and like i said, mission decided to expel, diploma from europe, be something after the african nations. and it's something very new that after it comes to the time with all the colonial form to these countries, i think something is very new to the african nations. look spell of diplomatic into that our country is something new or central in this type of thing. and date, and we'll see how things out. but what i have the most, so i mean these,

this ambassador that we, that we told him about this job and i'm boss that he's clearly an experienced diplomat doing. we don't know exactly what he did, but is it possible that he could have done something about the child and government just didn't like, or is this a political more of a, a strong political stocks on this? well, we try again. every month today is the governor here transitional government is not going to maybe something is not in their favor with something that they don't like it. like with fresh government or anything that they think it's coming up with you to them. maybe something like this. we don't know yet, but maybe something that could be somebody to be our own and then in the future. what is that the position a lead time is on the talking and is going to be more interfering today and the union something maybe there are different but in,

in how that is done. but i think the thing that the government of the show it on like under his head being in this country, most of the fact that was great, thanks so much for joining us today. see pleasure talking to you so will speak to them just in time o, a say in africa now the mediterranean country of 2 nicea is struggling with the worst drought in the nation's history. the does also have rocks, the economy, and fulfill government to limit author supplies the public. as a local journalist, reports music is experiencing an unprecedented jolt. and while some residents of the capital and some other towns have reported that the countries authorities begun to cut off drinking waters at night a week ago, there are calls for to declare a state of water emergency tunisia down to rico the decrease in capacity of around
