the, the, the push it says, washington coordinates of the attack on the presidential office in moscow saying here is pulling orders from overseas, multiple the system. well, that's the state of doing sole same versus farm, minnesota, and is indian chinese and what you studied council positive, expressed as a meeting of the shanghai corporation organization and molded 1000 pablo stadiums are held behind bonds without charge or trial. we reports on the reality of these really detention system and speak to a lawyer defending this is amounts for psychological terms because when you're edited in disconnecting and you don't know why you are interested and when you would be ever since, this is a very harsh at psychological solution,

the very warm welcome to you from the bus and capital this thursday evening. i'm pizza scouts and welcome to the program of each in, in, in, from the russian. i've said that washington had a role in the drone of time on the presidential office of the present in moscow on wednesday. the comments that it was carried out by euclidean jones for both kids on washington have strenuously denied any involvement their comments both best and to reach fiscal. i've 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 of fulfills them. and every time key of is given the right to choose the

means. both k of and washington, they face some serious accusations of well being involved in what most to explicitly called an assassination attempt at vladimir putin live. so they had to bring something to the table and well, they did, at least they tried to, but they haven't been really consistent a tool in what they've in when they tried to formulate the version of events, basically all boil down to wasn't us just wasn't tests but don't basically realizing that that was probably not enough given again, the gravity of the situation that they tried to speculate as to what might have happened in their opinion. and well, both have been completely that that was basically the work of some 3rd party of some acting independently from kids, but definitely sympathize to the ukrainian forces out there on the ground in the done by some of the rest of the front line. but then today he woke up to a different version. he said that that was

a full flag attack mazda minded by russia itself. and well, when it comes to washington, they have been talking that talking points have been more or less the same lines and they have been equally inconsistent. given the 2 different officials from different departments. they came up with the difference again, versions of events and interpretations as to what happened and where that minute tries view a came from a senior aide position for russia to find that the company was finding a mission. you know, you don't want to speculate on the, as the authenticity of the car 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, we know that russia 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. a certainly quite the bold statements from the white house, the ego. how's the sure responded to those on vacations? well, so far russia's response has been strictly diplomatic. they haven't taken any steps militarily or on the ground. nothing else of the ordinary. nothing we haven't seen so far. up until now. but russia has indeed been a while stepping up its rhetoric as if at 1st they just said, well, we know, judging by the information we have received from the intelligence sources from the secret services, it was a ukrainian drone. they haven't specified whether or not it came from ukraine or if it was released from anywhere from russia. but now mitre pest calls the spokesman

for the russian president has stepped forward saying, well, that firmly believes it was done the either on washington's orders. or at least the wes somehow has enabled key of to carry out this attack of the rule. we will know how extensive american support to ukraine has been both militarily, both in terms of on shipments and also in terms of intelligence. nato has provided to ukraine surveillance. drones have been in the skies monitoring the situation on the ground almost 247, and stevens, that ukrainian generals, and those who mazda might have the that alteration. but they had every ability to know where a rushes of different systems are and they could try to avoid it when planning the route of the drone, given the accusation of both floated by washington, that it was most cool or rather rush at the bottom. the very hearts of well of the

russian capital within unmanned aerial vehicle, the ambassador to the united states, the russian ambassador to the united states. he was very adamant in his rhetoric saying that, well, that allegation is simply preposterous. the statements by washington's official representatives 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 in 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 blessed from us and deceitful. that is, it was rushing 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 it's in its very 1st statement off to the incident. the russians have said that well that they reserve the right

to respond. however, and when they see fit sofa, again, nothing on the ground. but there was a planned meeting between the russian president and russia security council announced to take place in the very 1st week of may. now the very 1st week of may of course, runs out tomorrow because that's, that's friday. that's the last to the final. what day of the week, so we might see that happen, and if that happens, if there's a good chance, something will be agreed on. then with george, somebody's senior research fellow at the global policy institute of london. and he says, the west, the media, often brenda tags on russian church as full slide operations. it's entirely typical that every time there is an attack of by ukraine on rough entire trips, immediately the western media go into an operation of declaring that this is a russian full swag attack. so what it was, the, the assassination of daria do getting it well, the assassination of a, a,

a will blog up the attack on the trying be a bridge. the west will uh, do the usual possible deniability thing because the united states well knows what exactly the ukrainians are up to. but they, they make sure that they, uh, they don't hear in advance of any uh, section you brain in operations. i don't know about the, the ukrainian found progressive. whether that's going to happen now, or is that something, you know, if you weeks time, but no question. the effect is, is a blow to russia. i mean, it's a blow to rushes prestige it costs, and they put a rush on the smoke and challenging rusher essentially to escalate despite the of the show and says it does not targets person surgery. pro ukrainian 7 sized groups of conducts a numerous attacks in russia. since the beginning of the war, there was a most prominent incidents in the

house was you clean continues to hobb out and visions to join nato congress, deputy paul them and speak a door. duro says a key of is not even close to joining the alliance. here's what you have to say. of course, the scenario seems unlikely now, and as most of the assigned to believe that they can read before and go back to see the best way to see it. and you craze. thoughts are the see has not happened so far, only the because so the, the inverse then military supplies. so we can assess ukraine that's running depends

on the app store, bought in, in religion, in practice, the plan to the broke support between the usa and the restaurant. unfortunately, i must say that you wrote the euro subordinate the say, own interest to us interest, and do you train kind of see the see? so the demon is legal and the u. s. policy. it is, you may not have being, you have to bring a new closer records to during your facility to ukraine. joining needs to be out of this question is absolutely certain. that's my clar c. and this is, that's my philosophy. when it comes to who is the, is the jack piece of machinery. and furthermore, as long as ukraine's borders are disputed and then on cross link,

these ongoing nato's own provisions who were out there in joining your you came to the natal. but even if this folks that could, once we moved eh, we would still not be able to support the engagement. and because manually the change, of course, tends to being violated in ukraine. reach these totally unacceptable for us. and to do your training and government moves time, gillian, when you mense flags and text and then the use of the hungarian language in everyday life, including education and the public administration. and the 3rd arises, their lead, their stuff behind gearing and community trust card i to you up our bar, steve cannot see any chance of supporting ukraine's expression to any international . okay, which i'm a fat multiple that system. well, that's the aim reiterate to drain souls between

a russian indian on chinese for ministers in go. a states meeting of the shanghai corporation organization is in preparation for a largest summits annually in july plus on this let's speak to all of the india correspondence. runjun shawna, runjun, good evening to you pretty. it said this piece of was being discussed between these, these foreign ministers and going of the in fact, well, the last important meeting, the d a was between a russian foreign minister. so k novels and bach kasanya for the minister of i'm and the actually of cool stuff. i'll was the last meeting. got the last important meeting, also to see uh, but uh, as far as to the is concerned, it was all about by natural. it started with a psychological well meeting wave is indian con default dr. x j, sean god. and what they really spoke about was the monthly last week cooperation of

schools. they also discussed several issues pertaining to multilateral platforms, international platforms like g 20, i'm a big split apart from that. so gabrielle will submit his chinese phone call to bob and the same whole forward as jason on quote as well. he had a meeting with dr. young gang, an extremely significant, given the fact that there has been attentions between the 2 nations and now on coming under the su umbrella. now school, so all these meetings have ended for the d. a. what is going to happen now is a gone all day. now of that, the, if you are chad, india has organized 4 or 4 minutes spells of all the countries that have come to go on a for a sudden the know diplomacy is also important. isn't it? an especially before of that important day tomorrow because tomorrow is when of that that you don't need is going to happen. aware,

all of these out for minutes does will sit together. and at the end of the meeting, they are also expected to sign on the document, which will have some, a 15 ford decision. so we'll see how that goes. but those are 15 decisions. really, i will be a sort of say, a pre course the toward is going to happen in july. a july is when in doubt is going to cost the final as seal summit of this could almost probably happen in new delhi and a forcing deals or would you send invites to head full speed. so hopefully all of them or so a would be coming to india speaking more widely about the seo runjun. well sorts of political clouds does it have on the international arena. huge, i'd say when you, when you look at the se umbrella,

when you look at those young guy, a cooperation organization, it constitutes together nearly 40 percent of the walls total population. it also comes to do it's about 30 percent of the global g, d, b. so that's how bible for the brock really is. and therefore it's important to stress that every meeting that is happening at to d into model is going to be extremely significant. i for india, will see the agenda really has been multi point who lives in, but also also india as connected. which is something that is really important to fall from that of course, economic cooperation in the i have thrust about uh, waterfall. so old eyes on tomatoes, meat now, i don't know if like, what the sol during the g 20 for ministers. me in delhi when they couldn't reach to

consensus all but in the s t o platform, you don't have a similar document. what you do have is that particular right that the 15 decisions that everybody's going to sign off on that i spoke about a t correspondence, brendan shawna, i'll hope you keep us updated on any developments that thanks very much for that. of the moving on now least the 3 palestinians have reportedly being killed by these rarely military hands during the rate on the old city of novelists in the westbound on thursday. now these very, i mean as relates to statements claiming that 3 men were behind and it's like in april, the killed a woman and her 2 daughters. i'm us, the palestinian minutes in group confirmed the the 3 men killed where its members, according to the palestinian reg, presence full of people, also wounded. and at least a $150.00 people, including children, suffered from the effects of tear gas. the rates took place a day after cease fire was declared pulling a series of strikes early this week between israel and gaza. the volumes follows

the death of a policy united, the best in these rarely present. after an 87 date hunger strikes. lots, east marie, if an ocean that has been diving deeper into the ordeal of mazda zip palestinians, including minus women and the elderly. they've been detained, detained by israel, the power storage mentors, palestinian prisoners, and his rally jails has long been a painful issue for all palestinians including militant groups. not once rockets were fired from guys in protest when revenge for violation of the palestinian detainees writes the death of how that odd none put back in this port light. all that and one particular widely condemned policy that israel is using administrative detention, a person is held behind bars. we don't charge a trial simply based on allegations, but he or she plans to commit to crime in the future. the geneva convention makes it clear. it is an exceptional measure that can only be used under circumstances like an armed conflict, or

a threat to national security is rose as the tactics helps prevent attacks and can find potentially dangerous individuals. but in any case, so defense as from other media group that protects the rise of the palestinian prisoners, explains. it should only be felt limited time in israel though, the initial 6 months long, administrative detention could be extended indefinitely. in the sort of defense in case is what i'm clearly committing the water cro in and the crime against humanity . according to the i c. c. it on statute because this is arbitrary detention administers of detention was the case with the lady tied to the ottoman it is the case for hundreds of other palestinians including miners, women, and the elderly. these detainees often go on hunger strike, how the died of to $87.00 days on it. human rights groups say hunger is the only 2 to fight for justice. this is amounts the psychological test because when you're

out of state and definitely, and you don't know why you are interested. and when you would be at us that this is a very harsh and psychological pressure, torture for the detainees and for their families. the mother of her son shaka, as 34 year old father of 2 from bethlehem, says they are old. how that odd lunch house. on the last 18 years, her son has spent a total of 17 behind bars under administers of detention. he was never separated from the rest of the prison population with jail personnel, treating him exactly like the others. her son was detained 7 times, most recently in september 2021. bye bye and for this, i feel frustrated. angry, disappointed. i get depressed every time i'm waiting and waiting and he tells me they canceled my release. how wouldn't mother feel about it? and i'm in shot at it while we were speaking with on for sun, someone called her,

apparently it was an officer of shut box. these rarely security service, she asked to talk to her son, was in vain. the cold didn't bring any good news. her son remains detained. you say had that, and then he went on a strike against his own will. he had no other options. her son, my son, is striking for the same reason as well. kelly le wad was about to die on his hunger strike. it's the only way to escape long detention the un human rights watch and i'm just an international have repeatedly condemned a 0 for over using administrative detention asking to stop the abusive practice. of these practices would appear to be arbitrary detention, which is strictly prohibited on the international law included in international humanitarian law. but this unified global coal has made little change more than a 1000 palestinians are currently held in his rally jails. honda administrative detention and that's according to latest reports by human rights groups. and

despite the international condemnation, this number is constantly on a rise, adding fuel to an already tens enough israeli palestinian conflict resolution to all teeth from jerusalem. the washington pushes to move some semi conductive production from taiwan to the us. i made the phase of a conflict with china, so i ones of trade chief who was visiting americans don't play the panic while insisting that the nation remains a safe place to do business. we should avoid any exaggeration or rhetoric which doesn't reflect the true situation and that creates fear, unnecessary fear. but right officials, thoughts in washington come at abroad drive by the us to pad taiwan fall. i, stunned off with the china that it has already agreed. so expanded semi conduct, the industry in the us was only as much as it can quote, a fault to do so. so i'm currently produces more than 90 percent of the world's my coaches, which i grew sofa. america is a high tech on weapons industries. but tensions between beijing and washington

have searched since then us how speak of nancy pelosi is visits you taiwan last summer. kind of responded by stepping up. it's mid shirts. it's around sy, $11.00 accusing washington offsetting to respect to the one china policy, which states that taiwan is a positive china us does not officially recognize taiwan is independence. this has been sending weapons to the island while suggesting that the american ministry will weigh in if china makes a move to. let's discuss this now with asia political risk analyst voss find gold rush. great to have you here and i'll see you this evening. well, 1st of all, i just want to get your take on the time and he's a trade chief attempts to downplay phase of a possible conflict with china. now that, that's a really interesting question, because on the one hand we have to deal with reality. and the reality is i want has a trace or

a plus with china and many large taiwan corporations as well as this falling medium enterprises. here in taiwan, they benefit from appraising with china. they sell things to china, and that's why there's a trade surplus. and in addition, many large firewall corporations and the services industry, they operate in china and many try when use own manufacturing. companies have factories in china. on the other hand, there's the obvious risk. uh, depending too much on a, on a single market. and that would apply to the most places around the world. whether it's the united states or other places. they don't want to depend on one market is so i can optically taiwan benefits from the relationship with china. but then of course, there are other political realities and whether or not that's prudent for the type of corporate world to continue to depend on china. where you said it's one benefits

economically and obviously it does. this trend is one of the biggest purchases of those semi conduct as the that it meant that are made in taiwan. but obviously the us one small time and instruction in america. but there's a situation of that as a jewel taxation the which means that time when these companies in america would have to pay, talk to both in america and in $51.00. do you think most likely to be resolved by the us in the future? well, the current agreement that firewall and the united states are, are negotiating. uh, 1st of all, it is not a free trade agreement. and it's, it's an agreement that's generally going to cover things like a waiver protection. your protection of some basic rights for workers, mostly blue collar factory workers. it's gonna also cover issues like environmental regulations. and it's also meant to cover things like state owned enterprises, which is not an issue for the united states, but. so i was like many emerging economies around the world. the government

actually has a very significant shareholding in the corporate world. and that's the legacy of an earlier era, but it is to be ality. so the united states does are asking these negotiations that the state on companies don't receive any advantages and much of work that into the black and white letter of, of the agreement taxation. uh, yeah, yeah. a double taxi you should is a concern for companies operating in multiple jurisdictions around the world. is this truly a taxation agreement? no, actually it's not. but, but the reality is the united states is very open to foreign investors. none of which companies from taiwan as well. so yeah, there might be some things around the margins on tax issues in this agreement. but again, this agreement is really more focused on things like environmental and labor protection

issues, more so than tax agent issues. and talking about the possible ramping up all the time when you send me conducts of production in the us. um, obviously the us would say that it would do this to, to secure its, um, it's accessed through these. so these all important semi conductor is the used everywhere these days. but it's worse than do you think that the american economy would also receive a boost from, from having this production in the country. do you know why that's such a great question is uh, a t s m c tire on a semi conductor manufacturing company area, the biggest semi conductor. what we call the sab right, they operate on the outsource model. they don't really design the chip spike companies from around the world, whether it's apple or other companies, they come to t. s. m seizure and taiwan and say, here's our design. can you make the chair? so she essentially is building very large facility in arizona, but she has some she is really good at what they do and it's great for having some

manufacturing in the united states. but will it create a lot of employment opportunities? well, frankly, the answer to that is no, but it will put some other production capacity on for in united states. is it good for united states? of course, i mean obviously its beneficial to the united states, whether it's c, samsung or intel, that they build more factories or it. and the semi con, you should call the tabs if they put more of those in the united states, is it better for the united states? of course it is. so is it going to create a lot of job opportunities? no, i mean a lot of these processes are highly automated. uh, the number of, of actual job opportunities and my create that's, that's somewhat limited. mm hm. and suddenly, obviously type one is very clear that it does not want to conflict with china that would devastates, you know, the country. and it's a good economy, obviously. but you know, how does this visit by the treatment of stuff tie one to us? does that continue to rock jets of these tensions of the us?

and so i want to pay to become closer both in terms, economically and minutes early. and well, the reality is, even though i, taiwan, and united states will say this is unofficial because we don't have formal diplomatic relations. but, but the united states in taiwan just like tar wrong with other countries as well. so they have a range of agreements, m, o use etc, etc, in different areas, whether that's cooperation on air, safety, or traffics, air, travel, safety, environmental, climate, change types of issues, taxation issues, etc, etc. so are we could, we could have this political dancing, say it's not really a formal agreements between 2 countries. but the reality is that, that these are expected to be re misplaced with the force of law for, for the corporate world that will benefit from, from these agreements. but again, a, what has to be emphasized that with united states and taiwan are discussing is not

a free trade agreement. it's more things around the margins of different kinds of laws and regulations would improve trade. yeah, of course it well, well, well other countries try to make similar deals with i won after the united states and so i want to reach an agreement. yeah, probably some a tie, ron's other major trading partners will look do something similar way to that european union in japan. some other places around the world, but not a free trade agreement. and taiwan general situation will improve a little bit. but again, the, you know, the threat from china is still going to have exist. mm hm. well, fascinating stuff, ross, find gold, age of political risk, analyst. pleasure is always happening the program. thanks for your thoughts today. that's about for now. my name is peter scotts and i'll be.
