shores and there are no independent players in the world anymore. the russia says washington coordinate to the attack on the presidential office in moscow. thank you. of is pulling orders from overseas. also at the stage you creating cities, reports explosions, us every time and sound across the country. overnights, you have officials say the sites are the most intense dentist off of the year and rushes for ministers holding sol, suite indian council thoughts as india house faced the limits of the sun high corporation organize the

for most go to the world. you're watching the box, the international monies be discussed, and these, the top stories at 2 pm. thanks for joining us. russia has said the washington had a role in the joint attack on the presidential office of letting it boots in on in moscow on wednesday. the cabinet and said it was carried out by ukrainian drones kids though denied any involvement coming spokes person to meet fiscal of also said the cube is following us instructions to keep in washington's attempts to disavow involvement in the attack are absolutely ridiculous. we are well aware that the decisions about such actions and terrorist attacks are made not in gifts, but in washington and kia does what it is still to do. we know that often the targets are not determined by gifts, but by washington. and then these targets are outlined to key if so the key it fulfills them. and every time key, if it's given the right to choose the means

a l e got his don, if he's joining that we now live in the studio to discuss this further. thanks so much for joining me. eager. now, what was the reaction to weston officials to this drone attack on the criminal will absolutely be well of course the incident, it was inevitable given the scale of s, given that most who quoted an assassination attempt. that's latimer putting the russian president. it wasn't habitable that it would get traction all over the world. and basically the united states and see if they have shown a discrepancy in the, the options and basically the versions that they have put forward to, to, for the media to speculate about. there's no single line whatsoever. they have been talking about. so many things like to have fast, they are saying that, well, it was an inside job that some pro ukrainian ro groups working independently from kids. did this then a few hours later, the same person steps forward and says it's something completely different saying that it was

a full flag attacked by russia. the rush of boom crumbling itself to create. i didn't know cas, his belly, that's what it causes. that's what it's called to escalate the situation on the front to escalate the strikes on ukraine. then while washington woke up and they made a bunch of statements as well. but again, even within the state department, even within different a branches of power within washington, they failed to coordinate and create a single line here have listened as to what to separate american officials roughly at the same time said about the incident happened. this, a senior agent, the last, the called, the activation for restaurant assigned the comment was find information. you know, you don't want to speculate on the guitar. does any signs to believe that the russians are finding a new major any any you'd be telling me to go over to your colleagues who we are? we know that russian has a history of doing this. they have

a history of doing false flag. it is not unusual is incredibly common. i just don't want to speculate at this time, as i said, as we said when it comes to ukraine, which is under daily assault. and not just it's incredibly courageous military forces. but it citizens, as men, women and children being assaulted on a daily basis by this russian aggression. well, we leave it to ukraine to decide how it's going to defend itself and how it's going to try to get back to the territory. it's only quite the statements by the whites house house. russia responded to those on vacations well, russia, russia has been very consistent with its uh, with its line. rarely, they right away said that they believed based on this or based on the data collected by russians. secret services, special services and intelligence, the t one was responsible for that it was a ukrainian drone. indeed that attempted an attack on what most to cause the life of latimer food. and then when washington presented its own version of events,

or rather to versions of events, because fast, you hit one official saying that cube has every right to defend itself, however it sees fit. and then the other one saying that well, most who has a history of full flag attacks making this bold claim and accusation, the russian ambassador to washington to the united states has been quite adamant in his outrage over the wedding of i guess both of these statements again, judge yourself of the statements by washington's official representative so striking in their cynicism and absurdity. the us did not find it possible to recognize the obvious thing. this was a terrorist action blend by the zalinski regime. and then this as a nation attempt targeting the president of the russian federation that these, these, that this act of terrorism was allegedly a false leg operation are blasphemous and deceitful. that is, it was rashid itself, that stage the provocation against the heart of our statehood. how would the americans react if a drone hit the white house, the capital, or the pentagon?

the answer is obvious for any politician as well as for an average citizen, the punishment would be harsh and inevitable. now russia has been saying that it preserves the right to respond, however, it sees fit, of course, on the battlefield within russia that has been all sorts of calls from the most hawkish ones. calling for the, the ultimate measures. i have to say a but at the same time that have been voices of reason even coming from new from the people who are the biggest talks really. for instance, if daniel precautions, he had a b, m. c, wagner. he has said that well, cooling for a new pay option over a you a v i is a way too much is a disproportionate and he is called for everybody to treat this with a cold head on the sofa. this message has been echoed somewhat within the, within the hi, actual owns of the russian power. so far, russia's response has been in the verbal and well, more of a diplomatic route. uh,

but uh, already tomorrow we're expecting the russian president to meet the security council . and in general, the understanding is that that they will be discussing the potential the what the potential response might be both militarily on diplomatic, waiting. while you go, hope you keep us posted on any development stuff. thanks for walking us through. that's a full, lots of adult incidents yesterday. thank you. it's a form that us marine, brian better. sig says that by targeting and russia, ukraine's giving must go free reign to retaliate. is moscow a blank check politically to escalate in any way that it sees fit to codes of conduct and other mobilization that could also mobilize industry and the economy in any way. it seems fits, it's not just this attack, but many of these attacks recently continue to get mosque out the, the ability to mobilize and to escalate in any way that it sees fit. lot of people are citing bad fact as evidence that well this benefited mainly moscow and that

that's what suggest it could be a false flag attack. but we have to think back to 2014 everything the us installed quite regime. thank you. have has done from 2014 onboard, has benefited the notion of russia waging some sort of conflict with you. pregnant was it was always done to provoke russia and then to keep the conflict going for as long as possible. i mean, the rand corporation published a paper in 2019, literally titled, extending russia and citing, giving legal a to you probably. and as option number one with the kremlin has a ques, pro, ukrainian sabotage groups of conducting a number of charts auction versus ins. february 20 to 20 to the month, the will begun to have hasn't accepted responsibility at all. some of those incidents to the

for the ukrainian capital on the other cities in the country are reported to as the multiple bloss throughout the nights. include in the mostly against a military academy building rates sounded in the early hours with the official saying, the kid had witnessed such a scale of attack since the stats of the yeah. all these roman costs are also small . the air alerts were announced in major ukrainian cities of t of and they'll just as well as other regions of the country. explosions were reported, both in the capital and of the black support as well. now, local authorities said that air defense systems have been deployed. what's the demand is from a local population,

not to post any videos or any kind of details to social media. so at this point, there is a very little information about that. however, some messages did managed to get across the, on the internet, you know, just as a strike against the military academy was reported though, at this point. so there is still no official confirmation. now air alert sounded for about 3 and a half hours in key of and for over 5 hours in northern regions of ukraine. apart from t event, odessa explosions were also recorded in the city, opens up our rogia, which is currently held by vicky every she now russian defense ministry has yet to comment on the overnight strikes against the ukrainian minutes of its our gigs. they could, however, have to do with the response against wednesday's drone strike on the kremlin itself . and it just reminds are russia has reserved the right to retaliation in any way that it deems it necessary and moving on to other news. now, russian,

a foreign minister said, of good luck ralph has arrived in go a summits of these shanghai corporation organization. and that's a whole bunch of folks with his indian counterparts. but lots east correspondence runs and shawna has more details. the right shells top diplomats, so he lived rav 4 children go off early this morning, around the 7 am local time. and ever since that he's had a follow back schedule, and we just saw the which was old for both the foreign ministers of india and russia. allowed grove, adult education car, all talk to each other all. also they have a number of bile actuals that are lined up for the day off to the so level also is going to be meeting his chinese calling to foster a chain gang and also which he's also going to be meeting his focus on the going to fought and so so it really is uh, in that sense to find the lead during the night. there will be a gall out. do you know or all hosted by in the all for all the foreign ministers

who are you are not as far as india is concerned. all for dr. is j. shank of who is the foreign affairs minister of india. again apollo 5 d. he just met with the not relevant schools. this meeting extremely significant in the back drop off times are between editors. these are not still stock ties based on suite c, for example, but also cultural and all the wise uh no off to these uh, the foreman is through india also is expected to meet with his chinese count of off . again, it's going to be a significant meeting there are considering of that to both the countries that have friction going on and it's all going fiction or the east them love doc issue. now whether or not the indian side in the box is sony will need, will there, will there be a bi lab who will have between the 2 countries that remains on, on said extremely unlikely is what have been given to understand. but again, very,

very significant considering this is also 12 years that have focused on a foreign minister has come down to india based the 4th on the, the su umbrella. and when you look at the, of the, the feels the sound guy, cooperation organization. it constitutes the only 40 percent of the total was population was around 30 percent of the total of global g d p. also that's how follow. so the book is so any, and every leaving that is happening here in go are right behind me of causing sort of all is going to be really, really important. today, of course is the for biological as i pointed out. so, but tomorrow is going to be the mean, not the mean d, where all the visa, foreign ministers from a different countries will be meeting each other of holes. they're also going to be signing on a document which will have 15 old decisions on that. and all of these, of course, in the run up to all the find the less fuel summit which will take please me the

are again it in the, remember india is the su, share of this c r and in, in july, in media. when the su final summit happens, of course the heads of states. so all of these each con fees are expected to come. iran and syria have signed a series of bilateral agreements with the oil and railway industry being one of the highlights. and this comes as the uranium president visited the muskets for the 1st time since the syrian civil war broke out in 2011 local media products, a historic event and the reading lead. it also stressed the importance of to run strategic relations with sylvia. or anybody who might have had doubts about the policies of syria and iran are now convinced our positions are totally just and fair suit here. that all of that sort of the syria has emerged victorious after 12 years of fighting. as we have been at that side during the

fighting, we shall be there during the construction. these are strategic lean. never to be soward. the president raising presents area for 2 days also states that the west and sanctions against both countries have failed all the on the west. an access of resistance has become much stronger. sorry and lead up a saw a side in his to and find a run for the supports around has provided through syria since 2011. so you correspondents use of july late takes us through the 1st day. i am ready z as he's on a 2 day trip to syria, is the 1st trip to serial bind. iranian president of sense over a decade ago, i suspect start of the civil war in the country back in 2011 before he left to juan for damascus. ibrahim bracy hope that his trip would be productive for both nations well, and he's. ready had a lot on his plate on the 1st day he wrapped up his 1st working day by figure visit to the holy shrine of as i'd say, not higher,

revered religious figure in his mom or he also delivered his speech. he said, during his speech, he said, and he reiterated, it was firm support for serious sovereignty and territorial integrity. he said that to, while it was to advise the syrian nation during good times of difficulties and hardship, yvonne continues to support the syrian a nation. i'm assuming you quote a during the reconstruction period. well, earlier in the day of the 2 countries and the 2 sides signed a long term strategic comprehensive cooperation agreement. no further details have so far surface and on the agreement by the 2 sides that this strategic agreement aims to serve the interests of the steering and people and the wondering people and the returning general officials from the 2 sides also assign 14 cooperation documents and a range of pieces, white get hold of a gas energy i. t, communications, banking sector and also earthquake release. well,

the syrian president bashar most i think it wrong for it is closed. unwavering support. so syria aside said that since 12 years ago, if you want has not left syria behind, despite all of the sanctions and the threats receives trip is widely seen as another piece in the unfolding, new chapter that witness a significant decline and the role play by the extra regional countries such as the united states. so this new multi point of color world is now emerging and has, has reduced the influence of the extra original countries like washington. as we see that the region is starting to take matters into its own hands. but if any of the political analyst and academics said mohammed brandon says that damascus on so around reaching new levels of cooperation, you run of serious have been very close for the last 4 decades for over 4 decades

of syria refuse to side with saddam hussein. when he carried out aggression against iran, syria was one of the few countries to stand up against saddam hussein's aggression . one western country and others were supporting him. on the other hand, when the dirty war was engaged or initiated by may tell, with its allies against syria, iran stood with syria as, as now as the 2 sides being a allies and so closely linked with one another. and due to the fact that they trust one another, the ability for the 2 sides to expand that cooperation to the economic field is a, is a, is quite easy because of that trust of the both sides have neglected in the past. the economic aspect of the relationship, there were economic relations, but not to the degree that would have brought about major change in the

economic prospects of syria. and that would have also enhance the economy of iran significantly. but now the 2 leaders are working to rectify that aspect of the buy that old relationship and other than use more than a 100 people have died in rwanda as torrential rains cause folds and long slides. devastating pods for the nation strong rain storms begun last week. and the one to meet through elegy agency as well in the mall. rain is on the way. how does it fall? months have been severely damaged, leaving many people displaced this us. it's underway for weather conditions on, but roads are complicating operations. the situation is typical for equitorial africa as millions are affected by heavy rainfall every year. the nato is report to the

guilds open liaison office in japan. the 1st such developments in asia of denmark is currently responsible for communication between the lines and tokyo authorities . copenhagen's on buffer, that's all local japanese media. he fully supports of the expansion is me. it would be a very visible real way to strengthen the relations between japan and nato. it was already a strong nasal presence in the asian country with us troops stationed there since the end of world war to find out is around $50000.00 personnel, including naval and air force attachments, plus the edge of funds for the image. and so all they even suggested tokyo should consider a nato style nuclear weapons sharing deal with the us as, as nate, those teeth during a visit to japan in january labeled. it's may but china, a great threat to stability in the region, substantially building up its military forces, including nuclear weapons, bullying its neighbors on threatening time on trying to control critical

infrastructure and spending this information about the nato and the war in ukraine . not everyone in japan agrees with that government stance. people that regulate being taking it to the streets, to protest against related issues, including a lack of legal accountability for us to move to personnel. lots of contamination from american bases as well as tokyo's, rising. defense spending, which threatens to be rail. the postwar positivism policy, you know, from the co head of the international action center thing. thank you, says nato's halting of japan is a sign of us trying to strengthen his position in the east asia. first of all, nato is a military alliance. a us commanded us equipped military alliance that exists for war, not for trade, not for diplomacy, not for social progress,

for war to it. and so this new opening of nato officially to japan is one step further along with bringing a nuclear weapons on submarines into korea and building new bases. us military bases in the philippines. call this in violation of each country's own constitution and the trade agreements in violation of the japanese constitution. japan has more than doubling its military. and so the arrangement with nato is just one step in part of a whole series. really the basis for it is that there are greater levels of trade on taiwan with china, japan, with china, korea, with china, the philippines with china. then with the united states. and how, what do you knighted states go about breaking that and setting up something more

advantageous to corporate power in the us, how they were versus that's why they want to bring in nato. the military threat rivalry between french and chinese carriers is growing with friends now demanding power suspect restrictions on chinese lines to equalize cost. the flagship carrier, i'll use the beijing hasn't on the advantage, is trying to things can fly over at russian space, which is close to european outlines. we support the ramp up of capacity between friends in china, but there needs to be a level playing field right now. there is a distortion of competition which needs to be taken into account. us, us, you and a number of allied countries close the a space through russian aircraft in early march 2022 shortly after the war. and ukraine takes off in response to the bundle across among 30 countries,

including funds from flying through his territory. no airlines have additional costs for fuel in personnel due to the need to fly around the world's biggest country to reach asian countries, giving chinese carriers a financial advantage. we spoke with friends, academic conducts up here who says that's far and courteous on not to blame for the fights. european countries have put themselves in such a disadvantage as position each for all sense nato country, which bends themselves iin that these evans edge towards china, china as absolutely no reason to fear and it falls on they to a where to go so far as to impose to china, some of which bleaching the trade then is that we were the rate on was a problem issues which all would be discussed between false and

china. just look at what happens now with a turkish alons, a turkish, a lot of me think most off. uh, it's a break between uh you and uh, russia. because now if you want to go to russia from factories, you can not take a false or any of the floss car you probably, you can please in some sense it is just as a p policy, you countries, you know, it's not, is a pool of turkish or by the way of chinese, if we are in this crazy situation, the pentagon that has released new ground rules for you, us filipino, defense cooperation. that's the accounts of a legit threats in the pacific. coming up to the us equity defense met the philippines president voted on demarcus junior in washington. but under the revised guidelines and on the type anywhere in the south china sea,

on either filipino or us on full systems, including coast guards across all public vessels would invoke the mutual defense commitments. that's the philippines continues to raise concerns over once it calls china's aggressive tactics towards philippines, visit fishing vessels, and disputed sections of the water weights, which beijing has claimed historical. suffering rights. also like to sell lights, completes of the largest of a joint military drills last week. in the wake of china is 3 day exercise is around tie one. the philippines agreed this year to give the us access to formal basis on his islands with the nation's leader offering another warning just days ago. we've nothing carriage, any provocative action by any country that will involve the philippines by any other country. we will not allow that to happen. we will not allow the philippines to be used as a staging post for any kind of military action. so let me know, citizens have repeatedly voice that discontent with the currently does policies on

us partnership calling for the government to end washington's minutes of presence in the country? physical arts invest or not. so res says, minute is packed, ties the hundreds of the philippines and goes against isn't actually natural, national, excuse me, interests on the, the guidelines uh, expand the us filter veterans. and since louis wants to go over it, if anything was read beyond bought through us initially contemplated in the 1961 mutual defense treaty this most against our national interest. and in the sense that uh being for we do not wish to be dr. jones into any military conflicts, the stop the end in the south, china sea, but disagreements practically size our hands as the us involved in any answer them . uh, we are under the pre b, the m b p. obligated to support the united states marcus and jr. watch to

reestablish. uh, this name is credentials and before the international community he wants to accept fence. then she feels that this is one way of uh, getting that uh he wants to stabilize just regina small. he wants to plus all the b . this redeem early on, and you feel satisfied getting us to for military aid and genomics. he is still a uh, solidly and stabilizer. is this regina uh, during the 1st year. um. but i don't think mark goes to a band on uh, he cannot make relations with china. he will try to play uh, both sides. when just before we go, a quick reboot top of our breaking you story. this our versus said that washington had a rolled in the drone inside on the presidential office of letting it through it's in, in moscow on wednesday. now they're currently said it was tied up by ukrainian drones

get, however, denied any involvement from spokesperson to meet you. best golf also said the key of is following us instructions is, given washington's attempts to disavow involvement in the attack are absolutely ridiculous. we are well aware that the decisions about such actions and terrorist attacks are made not in gifts, but in washington and kia does what it is still to do. we know that often the targets are not determined by gifts, but by washington. and then these targets are outlined to key if so the key it fulfills them. and every time key, if it's given the right to choose the means less arrived for this. uh my name's peter scott, and i'll be back again at the top of the hour with all the latest news views and analysis bites here on oxy. i'll see you then the .
