jessica, the breeds to be funk big. so when you distract nature, it takes every range of the double, stunted from washington as the us reportedly progress to supply cluster munitions to care after having previously condemned. the use of the weather may be on off in the manner in which a lot of other countries are they have already model economic objectives. that's the message from india is foreign minister on a full. busy day visit to the east african nation of tons in the us. the g 20 chapman utility is focusing on building ties with. imagine economies of the global self on china comes down on c food and pull some jip on

a bit concerned about the funds to dump the water contaminated by this because she met nuclear disaster. the thank you for joining those this friday afternoon on pizza. scott's here with all the latest news on our, for my headquarters in the russian capital, we started with the us, which despite beginning to phase out close to munitions in 2016 because of the risk they post, the civilians. now problem to send the same controversial weapon to p f a t shaped bows. those me now in the studio for all the details, say what more do we know about these reports of funds by washington to supply care for those customizations? well, peter, it's been a rumored for quite some time and it's in the context of, i suppose you claim to failing counter offensive that more and more weapons supply needs to be pushed further and further. so it'd be the latest in a long line of, of the with then starts,

and we're going to turn the tide for your clients. and these weapons are quite powerful. they're quite destructive. now they've been used by both parties currently in ukraine. so they're not a new edition, but what is new is, you know, the fact that the us who is claiming not to be a party to the conflict, is yet again taking another escalade. reset at us itself, stopped using these weapons, use them in the rack, and use them in previous conflicts, of course, but stopped using them in 2016 themselves, and started to stockpile the munitions. now it says it wants to sort of start forwarding to forwarding them into this to me growing during ukraine theater. you know, what's been the reaction internationally. so this plan? yeah, well, the reaction even from us base to human rights groups, which is unusual, has, has been one of condemnation. and you know, they cite the destructive power of these weapons, and these are dpi, cm's, you know, at the dual purpose and proved close from use munitions which can just for

a tiny bomb. and it's over at large areas. and they have huge destructive power on the battlefield, but they also leave the potential for civilians to be firm. by the way, we can actually hear what human rights, what watch had to say about this peter at. now if you have a look, the use of cluster munitions in areas with civilians makes and attacking discriminates in violation of international humanitarian law and possibly a will crime. the cluster munitions that the united states is considering sending to ukraine and more than 20 years old scots are over a wide area and having a tory is the high say you right. meaning they could remain deadly for years. yeah . so as you can see, uh these are quite dangerous weapons and they don't just uh, they're not just effective on the battlefield against the military enemy or armored enemies. there also have a potential terrible lagging effect on local civilian populations. of course, it won't be american children who are injured by these in the post conflicts

scenario, or farmers plowing and feel the ukrainians and potentially russians. but also this comes in the context if you will call the sending of depleted uranium. so it seems this ala carte attitude to these weapons is a very much in evidence here that as well, america could condemn the use which they did. or we can have a look at that. now they condemn their use. sincere un rushing, use them against terrorist, and we can actually have a look at that now. and show open source reporting highlights the use of cluster bombs by russian forces in several populated areas, including hama and edward's tax. using these in precise weapons, only continue to cause a necessary so where the russians have been indiscriminate, they've been reckless in syria. they seem to have no difficulty dropping cluster munitions around we're civilians may be yeah. so as you can see, uh, you know, do as i say, not as i do from, from the united states and

a support. remember, the united states has dropped thousands of tons of these new nations in their various military misadventures. going back as far as come forward in view of them. and these new nations are actually killing civilians still today after those conflicts, which ended decades ago. again, another game changer, this isn't going to have a definitive impact on ukrainian battlefield. it's just not going to happen. it's only going to really expand and expand the number of civilians and unfortunate accomplishments on the ukranian side, who will probably have to die before this, at a conference like this brought to it to an end. it also represents the reality that you find is the been used as a very cynical, the biography for western weapon systems. most of the things that are being dumped into your brain as i mentioned, a few and this week have never been used on the model of fossil battlefield before a no being using a vague cynical wave of the military industrial complex that to gauge their effective as the cetera, so a dangerous escalation,

another red line pushed forward, and this inc for mental move towards more, more munitions, more, more of the salaries at. so we're gonna have to watch this space for a fair. indeed, we will say thanks very much for what can i do washington's reports of funds to send a cluster bombs to care. thank you. thank you. well, small on this. we can also cost live now to labor and human rights lawyer done kovachick. he's currently in the dominican republic. uh, john, thanks very much for joining us. um, what was your initial reaction to their thoughts? so the us has approved sending customizations to plan to well, it's very upsetting. so the reason to say, i mean the really the purpose of these types of munitions they're called, is back and type personnel nations, meaning they are their purposes to main until people and many times civilians. and this is a conflict which has been going on since 2 3rd, 2014, in which the ukrainian government has targeted civilians and civilian

infrastructure, particularly in the dom bass where i am right now. and so this will be used by ukraine for that purpose. and as you mentioned, this is a gift that keeps giving these bombs many of which is a significant percentage of which will be done. meaning they won't blow up right away, but they could block years from now and kill civilians. so this is a cynical include gesture on the part of the us and i do see it, it can to the us and u. k. supplying also uh ukraine would depleted uranium, a munitions which again will cause cancer and other illnesses for years to come. when it comes to the box of itself is the ukraine says it needs these close to munitions, to help break through the unfinished russian lines. do you think they will have a practical effects on the box,

the field when it comes to so they use on ukraine's contra offensive? i don't think so. ukraine's counter offensive has been a failure, despite all of the claims made about it. and i don't think this will change the balance of the conflict which makes this move even more cynical. it won't change the balance of forces. the outcome will be the same, but it will kill many civilians now and in the future. and that is what is most upsetting about this. a few years ago, the us did condemn russia for allegedly, using close to munitions in syria. but now they, i've always to change that with you and they are supplying them all to do plants to buy the reports they to care of why, why do you think it has happened? i mean, i, the ukraine, all the us off signatories to the, the convention against costa munitions. i think the us new craner just being increasingly desperate. ukraine's losing this war, which means nato is losing this war because it really is

a proxy war of nato against russia. and they are now willing to turn to very cruel devices to do anything to again inflict pain and suffering 1st and foremost, not russians, but they are indifferent to the fact that it will also hurt ukrainians as well. now you mentioned this before, the, obviously, these are, these munitions can designates yes. decades lights often enter and civilians, pharmacy people just go in about the business. the 1st time that they, these munitions will have a, a so called lo, it dealt rates. do you think they'll make any difference? do you think that's true? no, they're 20 years old. i can't see how they're going to be able to, to account for that. they're, they're still going to have the many dogs amongst those. and they will go off years from now. now obviously the, the close to munition convention was signed back in 2008. and as i said with these

countries involved in the conflict to ukraine, us and roughly didn't join it. but whether it's and we, obviously we've seen um depleted uranium cluster munitions. this display of weapons doesn't seem to stop and you say it doesn't, you know, it won't make a difference on, on the battlefield. will eventually be as and so stale mates and negotiate the piece of them, and that was my help to be a negotiated settlement. we know that last march and april there was a possibility of such a settlement in the us and britain intervene to prevent that from happening, which is a tragedy. i hope there's a negotiated settlement, and i hope it's soon to save the lives on both sides. but i fear that the us is going to try to keep this war going as long as it can certainly do the 2020 for presidential elections. i think by and is afraid that if this ward is not in a, in a proper fashion oriented fashion,

it makes by and look good that he'd rather the war just go on through the election in the hopes that will help him win the election. which again, is another cynical calculation on behalf of the, by the ministration. but i think it's a very real labor human vice le duncan public is one of those lives from the dentist republic. thanks so much for your take on the reports of supply of cluster munitions to care. thank you. thank you. well enough to do like this on the phone lines. wireless and forces had made advances against ukrainian positions in the dance could be to the solver data has defeated kids. the pulses knew the tone of cross the lima around 9 . so you creating fix very important to be killed while another 5 so vented give. so just pulling back from that positions the russian defense, when i say also both of these forces gaining ground in the capstone and stuff, what it was you have agents. meanwhile, ukraine president, the landscape,

has been simple guerria to meet with his council knowledgeable about nato member states. but it's also ended up in disagreements over keeps to months for weapons. the landscape had high hopes the bulgaria would supply, i munition. but as president said, he must insure his own frontier security. first and foremost the conflict. this conflict has no military solution to say, i do not accept the provision of munition, especially if it is from the reserves of the bulgarian army. because like you, i'm the president and supreme commander, and i have clear responsibilities not to weaken the defense capabilities of demo gary and all me go to see. meanwhile, ukraine has been raining and a citations are for next weeks. nato, somebody, the head of the country's military intelligence, as a kid doesn't believe the gathering will deliver once it. once with the details, hes all teased on a cold. the state of the art weapons, tens of billions of dollars, volunteers and mercenaries from around the world. the west giving t of more than it could have initially dreamed of. and yet there hasn't been much

luck on the battlefield. as things stand, it looks like nato is just as reluctant to accept ukraine into its rank, as keith is eager to join the native some. it is quite difficult for me to commend for a very simple reason. the expectation. so far society will not be satisfied. nato's promise to bring the landscapes country into the folds continues to remain just that a promise. then, based on all the back tracking and qualifying that we've seen from washington, it seems like a valley that can be easily broken. and the president has said, he has said this over and over again. you can would have to make reforms to meet the same standards as any natal country before they joined. he said, does things he thinks that this can be due can, can be done. the crane can do that. after months of pleading with the wes zalinski has recently come to terms with the fact that nato is a no go at least until the war is over. and still he thinks support from washington might achieve something in the near future. he has long been holding out the beggar

of scot for f. 16 fighter jets, but not a single western country is ready to part with its spare, military aircraft. sure. denmark and the u. k. agreed to train fighter pilots. but without the jets. what's the use and with ukraine's flopping counter offensive, looking like a huge waste of equipment for potential donors, germany's decided no way. is it sending its own planes in the words of nato's military committee? chairman, the issue of jets just won't be solved in the short term. the discussion on the fighters is an important one, but it will not be solved in the short term for this counter offensive training those pilots training the technicians, making sure there is a logistic organization that can actually sustain these aircraft will not be available before this counter offensive, the ukraine's long awaited counter offensive is not meeting the west expectations, and that's putting up lightly. initial reports of disastrous attacks against russia's defensive lines,

were met with denial. the main offensive hadn't even started yet. they said, as the absurdity of that claim became obvious, the west began to say the offensive was slowly grinding along, which despite catastrophic loss, is your brains premier attributed to trying to save the lives of soldiers. eventually key of announced the change of strategy, which is apparently not named that taking territory. it's a low effort explanation that's had western officials disappointed with the ukranian war effort and the landscape pointing the finger at the west for his own country's failures. yahoo! and you shall go and i wanted to come defensive. just started earlier. why? because everyone here that the delay would mean that most of the territory would be minds. why given the enemy, the opportunity and time to prepare defensive lines? i'm credit of to the yes. as the leaders of our support, as i told them, as well as the european leaders, that we would like to start our contest census earlier,

and we need all the weapons and the equipment for that you got to do with so many western weapons. so much tax payer money all to pay for a colossal blood bass and sustained an ungrateful and insatiable proxy state. we are notes here as an extract to economy. we're here to see the rise of africa. well that's the message of india is 4 minutes to as he stops his full day visit to the east african nation of tons in. yeah, as, as new dot a focuses on building ties with emerging economies of the global self. i laura approach to actually, god today is to create more of it's actually going to invest in africa to work with us across to create capacities enough. so that the rise of africa also takes place as countries like india are rising. initially, the external affairs minister of india is in the country of tens. and yes, we do know that those 2 countries have had, by natural ties and have a long standing good relationship between the 2 countries. now the minister has had

a long list of an agenda during his 4 day visits to the african states. and this includes the inspect to a what's a supply project in pennsylvania as well as some of the deed is off tens. a new will be meeting with the minister in zanzibar, as well as a restriction that will be taking place on an indian naval ship that is currently in attends in the and not the minister went on to speak of fox, the relations, and the ties that to the country has with india as well as his projections in terms of what he sees, what people see would be the growing of africa and tense india as a whole. he also seems to take a jet on the west in terms of the different strategies and the approaches that the west takes with regards to its relations. and it's time for africa with wall, the sconce that india is taking instead of a deep and loaded relationship between africa, especially tends india. so the africa can also contribute to what's the world and

be seen as a consummate to the tense. then on the so we are not the as in extractive economy, we are not sure in the manner in which a lot of other countries are they have already matter. we cannot make objectives. porter, this is a broader deep partnership. now the relationship between the western africa has been characterized as that, as he says, as a me stress of one. and this is a different stance. the india would really want to take when it comes to the relationship, not only with tens india, but with the rest of the east of africa and the continent as a whole. now we do know that the relationship between india and tends india is characterized by it's heavy infrastructure, investment, large scale projects, as well as a focus and natural resources. and we also know that there's been a lot of training in terms of human development in the resources sick to as well as

transcribing in technology. now, in the as engagements in africa as a whole, include collaborations in industry such as homeless due to close to the communications and renewables and the ink to sprints in africa. software lines is a one that be searching v. i'm putting a move not to open use. now, china is imposing a defacto button on japanese c food impulse that's holding the island nation's decision to begin expending water contaminated by the 2011 fukushima nuclear disaster is that the view and atomic energy agency released the reports claiming that proposed on the safe of the japanese side whitewash their discharge plan, nuclear polluted water is nuclear, polluted water, no matter what the japanese site says. they cannot package polluted water as normal water and they cannot truck. the consequences and responsibility is caused by forcibly discharging polluted water into the sea spilled water can not be gathered up again, and the bad consequences of the plan cannot be reversed. we urge japan to stop

trying to show it gets responsibilities and honestly responsive the legitimate concerns of the international community. they must stop promoting the plan of discharging nuclear polluted water into the sea and properly disposed of nuclear polluted water in a scientific, safe, transparent, and negotiated manner. well, i'll take correspondence from asia, joins me now for all the details. we must certainly something where it's coming out of china. but what do we know about the latest i a report on japan's funds. so china is ban on japanese see foot uh products comes right after japan's making follow the final preparations to dump nuclear contaminated water into the sea. now this has raised many concerns among chinese consumers over the quality of japanese products. and as chinese nuclear watchdog says 70 percent of the location as waste water needs more treatment. and we also have the director general of the ones atomic watchdog. rafael grossi who's really light in the

release of this radio, active water, saying that the scientific work behind the report of the agency shall be trusted. so let's take a listen in on what more he had to say that this, the agreements that we have with the, with the goal and with the government of japan are permanent in the sense that as i said, the other day until the last group. and perhaps even the wheels in terms of evaluating, assessing as the where will you be there? if we see a problem, a deviation will really mediate the race. the alarm, if i can say, or talk to, to the government, talk to, to typical, i need to be for them to take the new society decisions. one has to trust the scientific work of the uh, we are new 12,

we do not take sides. we look at the science, we looked at the problem and we have an assessment, and then we can, we can discuss. but when asked in a separate interview about the disagreements among the experts behind this report, the director general simply brushed her off and did not elaborate on that. but according to a global times research center survey over 80 percent of respondents in 11 countries in the asia pacific region say that this plan is completely irresponsible . while 90 percent have express negative sentiments over the plan and 94 percent have said that the move will have a negative effect. not only on the especially pacific region, but also in the world as a whole. but it is also very important to note that chinese sea food vendors are in support of the china's ban on japanese imports. so let's take a listen in the way it is

a chinese citizen. food safety is definitely of the most important for me. our products on purchase through a legitimate channels, and we only sell them with the permission of the government. we will not sell japanese products now or in the near future. this issue concerns the health of future generations. is a thought, how does the c belongs to the whole world and all of humanity? the japanese release of new fluid, contaminated water into the secret costs are reversible, pollution? i won't choose to eat japanese food in the near future, but it's not just the chinese that are worried about this. the plan has been controversial since it was 1st talked about in 2021 with local japanese, a people also expressing concerns about the cum contamination of the water and japanese fishing and sea food industry goods were voicing concern about their livelihoods, as they fear that consumers may simply not want to buy their products anymore,

but the plant has also prompted some south korean retailers to stockpile c sold and which has led to prices to search in korea. but we also have environmental groups such as we in peace, who has long been critical of this plan. uh, war name uh that remaining radioactive materials can accumulate in the food chain and calling is said for continued long term storage. but so far, japan has not yet specified date to start the waste uh, water release as it would take decades to finish it. a little more. thanks very much for talking us through the full outs of depends a plan to release the consolidated water. thank you. the us treasury secretary john it's yelman's visit to beijing has and said it's 2nd day. it comes as tate on michael chip disputes between us and china, off the camp steam young. how about has valley?

washington is seeking nothing more than for business practices. in the us seats healthy, you cannot make competition in china. economic competition. we're both sides benefit is only sustainable if the competition is fair. i've made clears the united states. does not see a whole seal separation of our economy is we seek to diversify and not the deep cleaning of the world's 2 largest economies would be destabilizing 50 global economy. it's not going to be easy to do what she says she intends to do as disagreements between beijing and washington and have escalated, as we've seen some recent moves by washington and some recent moves by beijing in relation to the semi conductor chips and the latest battle ground in the ongoing

trade war, gosh, daylight. for some time the united states has continuously abused its export control measures strength and did scrap down on chinese semi conductors and artificially separated the global semi conductor market. this is a destruction of global free trade, a disregard for international economic and trade rules, and to trample on the principle of fair competition. the us approach will not only damage the legitimate rights and interests of chinese enterprises, but will also harm the interest of many countries and regions in their global scientific and technological exchanges. economic and trade cooperation, and will eventually eat itself up. the related concerns of the us industry have already illustrated this point. lately we've seen the pattern of any time it looks like us relations with china are about to improve something goes wrong. you'll recall that just after anthony blank and recently returned from beijing. you had joe biden, referring to for science president fusion thing as

a 6th grader. last when diplomatic were words. uh, that's one way of understanding it. and then you'll recall that anthony blankets, previous trip to beijing was canceled over the east coast below. and that loaded into us territory that us media declared to be a cybil know and created this area across the united states in response to. so people are wondering if we will see a real improvement now that the us treasury secretary is in beijing talking about us relations with china, specifically on the economic front will be waiting to hear what comes out of the need for me on any of those stories you've just seen this. one is all the life is updates. all websites of. com is your place to go. my name is peter scott. i'll be back at the top of the hour and another one done. thanks for watching the

the

on the on december, the 162021. the ukrainian parliament approved law number 58. 31 the stipulates ukrainians, including children, can become organ donors, postuma state. without the notarized consent and without relatives consent, the organs can be sold. a special database exist cooperates with foreign clinics. the on april of 142020 to the ukrainian parliament tossed another little number

56108 exams. organ transplantation from v a to the the road to exposing ukrainian organs abroad was clear the . there will be no doubt any might give them a delay. most of these and those will be possible at 70 stay, excuse me, they'll be forced to look, we must say diagnosis because i didn't somebody say it'd be in the way. go down a bit so many of each knows how circled black mocking transplants surgeons operated in his home country. and then they'll not they'll for you to be able to come to the level. yeah, the best left to and i've done that and will have done postal postal albany, a postal code for me and the sit on the.
