claims to be defensive military lines, but at the same time, claims it must constantly expand. add to this the alliance is quite projects, stability. in reality, it projects instability and security and made rushing its primary data. the double sundance on washington is the us reports of leap funds to supply cluster munitions to kids i think previously condemned to the use of the weapon. john, it comes down on the food info, some japan and make concerns about puns to dump water contaminated by the fuqua's human euclid. disaster also had the on off in the manner in which a lot of other countries are they have already matter. we cannot make up pictures of the message from india as foreign minister on a 4 day visit to the east african nation of tons and the the g 20 chapman utilities,

focusing on building size with emerging economies of the global stop, the fuel watching all the international monies be discussed on wherever you are joining us from. welcome to to to minutes of news analysis. we started with the us, which is fine, beginning to face all cluster munitions in 2016 because of the risk they posted civilians. washington now reports of late punch to send those same controversial weapons to kev. earlier i was joined by my colleagues onto correspondence a bose. you gave me all the details. it's been a rumored for quite some time, and it's in the context of, i suppose ukraine's fading counter offensive. that more and more weapons that the line needs to be pushed further and further. so it would be the latest in a long line of, of the weapons that we're going to turn the tide for your client. 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. the us itself stopped using these weapons, use them in the rack and if used and in previous conflicts of course, but stopped using them in 2016 themselves to start to stop pub immunizations. now it says it wants to sort of start following the forwarding domain to this, to me growing during ukraine. the reaction even from us face 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 cluster munitions which can disperse 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 harmed. by the way we can actually hear what the human rights watch had to say about this. the use of cluster

munitions in areas with civilians makes an attack indiscriminate in violation of international humanitarian law and possibly a war crime. the cluster munitions that the united states is considering sending to ukraine are more than 20 years old. scatter over a wide area and have a notoriously high failure rate, meaning they could remain deadly for years. so as you can see, these are quite dangerous weapons and they don't just at the, not just affect them on the battlefield against the military enemy or armored enemies. they're off so 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 a feel. so 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 very much in evidence here that as well.

americans condemned a use which they did, or we can have a look at that. now they condemned their use sincere you and russian use them against terrorist. and we can actually have a look at that now initial open source reporting highlights the use of cluster bombs by russian forces in several populated areas including, hama and edward tax. using these uh, imprecise weapons, only continue to cause or necessary. so the russians have been indiscriminate, they've been reckless in syria. they seem to have no difficulty dropping cluster munitions around were civilians and. ready me, so as you can see, and you know, do as i say, not as i do from, from the united states. and it's important to remember the united states has dropped thousands of tons of these new nations in their various military misadventures. going back as far as con podium via 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 you finding a battlefield. it's just not going to happen. it's only going to really expand and expand the number of civilians and unfortunately competence on the ukraine inside who will probably have to die before this come for think it's brought to it too. and then it also represents the reality that you find is know, been used as a very cynical of 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 modeling battlefield before a know being used in a very cynical way by the military industrial complex to, to gauge their effective as to cetera, so a dangerous escalation, another red line pushed forward, and this inc for mental move towards more, more munitions, more, more of the solid e as so we've gonna have to watch this space very carefully place so that we spoke with the labor and the human rights slowed down, kovachick uses the sending those munitions to ukraine would be a cynical just yet by washington. really,

the purpose of these types of munitions. they're called in fact and type personnel . nations, meaning they are, their purpose is to name and kill people. and many times civilians this will be used by ukraine uh for that purpose. and as you mentioned, this is a gift that keeps giving these thoughts many of which is a significant percentage of which will be gods. meaning they won't blow up right away, but they could blow off years from now and kill civilians. so this is a set of goal include gesture on the part of the us. i mean, this is just classic of bach we're seeing on, on the part of the united states, you know, criticizes people for when they do or allegedly use chemical weapons. of course, the last used a massive chemical weapons in a number of it's complex. so this is just a classic case of double standards that the us use is constantly. i think you'll see some european countries condemn it from us. human rights organizations have already condemned it. yeah,

i think there will be some upset about this. somebody think it exposes the us, it shows they don't care about the ukrainian people at all. this is about hurting russia and they're willing to do practically anything to do that, including fighting the last ukraine. will announce the latest from the phone lines where russian forces have made advances against ukrainian positions in the domestic region. the rest of the sober date has defeated the keeps. both is near the town of cross neatly mon, around 19 printing choose reportedly killed while another 5 surrendered. the casual says pulling back from the positions emission, defends ministry also reported its forces, gaining ground in both the capstone and the photos your regions. meanwhile, ukraine surprises that lensky has been to bulgaria to meet with his council sponsor about nato member states. but it's off ended in disagreements of the kids demands for weapons. so let's get had high hopes of bulgaria would supply i munition. but as president said, he must ensure his own country secure thing. 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 old german 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 nomics. know the goal is to ukraine has been to many and it's expectations for next weeks. nato summit's, the head of the country's military intelligence, says the kid doesn't believe that gathering will deliver all of the ones with all the details. hes all teased on culture. the state of the art weapons, tens of billions of dollars, volunteers, and mercenaries from around the world. the west given 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 was just as reluctant to accept ukraine into its rank. as key of is eager to join the nature of some, it is quite difficult for me to commend for a very simple reason. the expectation,

so far as the site will not be satisfied. nato's promise to bring the landscapes country into the folds continues to remain just that a promise and 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, this thinks 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 the port 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 losses,

ukraine's premiere attributed to trying to save the lives of soldiers. eventually to have announced the change of strategy, which is apparently not named 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 the most of the territory would be mind. why given the enemy, the opportunity and time to prepare defensive lines? i'm credit of to the yes. as the leaders of all supports, as i told them, as well as the european leaders that we would like to start our contest fences earlier. and we need all the weapons and the equipment for that. 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.

the use of china is imposing a defense open on japanese a sea food impulse following the nations decisions beginning spelling water. it was contaminated by the 2011 because she meant nuclear disaster. that's up to the u as if somebody energy agency released the reports claiming the proposed fund to be safe. 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. china is bad on japanese sea food products comes right after

depends making plans to dump nuclear contaminated water into the sea. and while this issue has raised many concerns over among chinese consumers, about the safety of important japanese products, we, china's nuclear watchdog also saying that 70 percent of focusing as waste. uh, okay, humans waste water needs more treatment. the director general of the you ones, atomic. uh, watch dog or i filed grossi, uh, realize the release of this radioactive water. as saying that the scientific work of the agency must be trustworthy agreements that we have uh, with the, with the coal and with the government of japan are permanent in the sense that as i said, the other day, i think the last group and perhaps even the wheels in terms of evaluating,

assessing the at we will be there if we see a problem, a deviation, we really mediate the race, the alarm, if i can say or talk to, to the government, talk to, to decal. i need to be for them to take this decision so and has to test the scientific work. we'll see i. e, 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 it's very interesting that he mentions trust saying the science when it was reported that with the scientist in the agency had disagreements over this plan. and when asked him an interview, what does he think about these disagreements over the report? he simply brushed it off and did not really comment on that. but according to a global times research center survey, over 80 percent of respondents in 11 countries in the asia pacific region has said

that this land is simply irresponsible while 90 percent have expressed and that negative sentiments over the plan and 94 percent said that the move will have a negative effect, not only on the region itself, but also in the world as a whole. and it, we, it really is very important to mention that the, the food type chinese, the food vendors are in support of this. and so let's take a listen in so is, is a chinese citizen, food safety is definitely of the most important for me. i would products purchased 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 when this issue concerns the health of future generations. how does the the see belongs to the whole world and all of humanity? the japanese release of new fluid, contaminated water into the secret cause reversible pollution? i won't choose to jump in these food in the near future,

and it's not just chinese citizens that are concerned over this. i mean, this plan has been controversial since it's announcement in 20 to when you want with local japanese people expressing concerns over the contamination of the water . and japanese fishing is the food industry groups also express and concerns over this. as they fear that consumers will simply avoid buying their products and from japan we go to south korea where the plan has also prompted as some south korean retailers to stockpile sea salt, which has led to a search in prices in korea and from south korea. we go to the environmental roof green peas, who has very uh for a very long time, being critical of this plan and has been a war name that the remaining radioactive material can accumulate in the food chain and has called instead for a continued long term storage. now, japan has not yet specified the exact date on when it's going to start the waste

water release. but what we do know is that it would take decades for it to complete the we have notes here as an extractive economy. we are here to see the rise of africa. well that's the message of india is 4 minutes to is he stops, he's full day visits. so the east african nation of tons, and there is new delhi focuses on building size with emerging economies. the global self, a water approach to actually got today is to create more of a software 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 what's a supply project in pennsylvania, as well as some of the, the details of tens, a new will be meeting with the minister in santa blah as well as a restriction that would 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 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 tends india as a whole, we are not as an extractive economy, we are not in the manner in which a lot of other countries are they have already matter. we cannot make objectives for us. this is a broader deep partnership. do know that the relationship between india and tens in mia 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 transfer with in technology. now, india's engagements in africa as a whole include collaborations in industry such as pharmaceuticals, to the communications and renewables. and the inc to sprints and as because of the software lines is a one that be searching v i'll putting a an indian high colt has been checked to an appeal to overturn the defamation conviction of a permanent opposition politicians who insulted prime minister in adventure. moti, off the india correspondence windows on the things of the story. i said the last high for the last session is conviction in the saw name. there was a c b, e,

l c u d 2. now the only option that we do a porch in this country, you will please sign mine on the 28th street for to and was sentenced to the door on the 23rd. the machine just use this for the slide. solomon on his convictions, always on the then of course the also work session sports, but on the 20th of april he's he was dismissed as we no longer read on mr. lee all since then on july, 4th, and soccer. awesome. even novice key. yes. so now the defamation,

he's fine by another person. now this particular case to be all seemed about to be some to give a little context here in 2019 ron eating, which he said, why every person with this so need is a fee. and this is off of that one on the policy, which is essentially a one of the find a defamation piece. again stop. i'll see that you do you see me, we saw name following them. he is so important to note here that in india, around a 100000000 people the, the, the so need more be no, no. the next step, when you go to the supreme court of india,

watch the forty's, because whatever she would save, it's going to have in positions not just on the, on the, on the remember, also due for a general the next next year. moving on to all the news now, as the u. s. secret service tries to determine who brought the recently discovered bag of cocaine into the white house. bouquets across the votes had been compiling the o lists of the likeliest candidates. she'll be suppressed. now these 2 political heavy weights, i've all made it onto the list, including musicians. elton john on new dock and even the 1st couple themselves. joe and joe biden, along side of the form is on politicians. yes, according to the best thing industry, the most probable co pays all a random forest stock. just angelina julie on something. the leaderboard is the presidents on, on somebody who has a previous record of drug abuse. a video from the 4th of july celebrations of the

white's house has raised suspicion amongst which uses you quickly made a connection between the reasons cocaine, discovery, and tons of buttons, reputation, and unusual behavior. during the independence day celebrations where the body and family had a private viewing of fireworks. the president's son looked somewhat disheveled, was taking the best. i've seen him scratching his nose while leaving the balcony. nothing beats 4th of july. it's a white room or has it you were serving cocaine for dessert? accept 4th of july at the white house on cocaine? yeah. nothing like watching a light show high on cocaine. like your son, snorting cocaine in front of the whole world. you guys are the most extra family ever cocaine topless transvestite caves and fireworks? well, joe biden. you said to me, bro bought respect to the white house. when asked about the cocaine and the wife's house of daylight to the president simply laughed at all

the . does anybody really believe that the cocaine found in the west wing of the white house? very close to the oval office? this for the use of anyone other than the hunter and joe biden. but watch the news media will soon start saying that the amount found was very small and it wasn't really cold, came but rather common ground drop aspirin. and the story will vanish. well, political and listen filmmakers, film stone and american folks are house the most. but they give us that takes on the story. the job i'm doesn't care. i mean, joe biden is did, could be in big trouble if the accusations that are in congress right now and from whistle blowers about bribery schemes with him and his son hunter, when he joe biden was vice president. and after he'd be, after he left the vice president's office, and then of course, now the,

the appearance of impropriety with his son hunter hanging around the white house i that's brought on that's brought on by joe biden himself, whether those bribery got got a accusations are true or not? if that were true then then bind. did it himself. i think trump, on the other hand, has done things here. yes. but other people have done them and nothing has happened . so it doesn't it's, it's not a great situation by any means. but until the scenario changes until you have trump supporters shying away from trump in the primaries, which i don't think they will have until you have someone else running against bite and besides r f k junior, which right now i don't think you will. it just looks like it's going to be the 2 of them. again, it's almost highlighting a fact that we have been consistently st. problems with this president and the presidency right from the beginning. and even before you can say, going back to the basement, joe, but the point is that it's like, it's just one of

a string of absurdities. and i think that's really why i located. it's like the absurdity of, of, of biden's presidency and how, you know, flood makes than just out of sorts. he is, his lack of a lack of eloquence. is it to say the least right? when he even knows where he is, so that you know the idea of the cocaine scandal at the white house, it's like it compounds the absurdity of this whole administration. as this continues to come out with more evidence, more whistle blowers, i just think this will. ringback there is no way that you can avoid this, you know, for it, for i didn't in the, in the next year and funded the us treasury secretary john, it's yelman's visit to beijing has. and so the 2nd day comes, obviously as the trade on micro chip disputes between the us on china, up picking up steam, yellen. however, as the washington is taking nothing more than fair businesses practices in the us seats healthy, you cannot make competition trying to see economic competition. we're both sides

benefits is only sustainable. is that competition is fair to make clear to united states. this is not a sales separation of our economy is we seek to diversify and not the coupling of the world's 2 largest economies would be destabilizing for the global economy. it's not going to be easy to do what she says she intends to do as disagreements between beijing and washington. a 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 and the ongoing trade war, you'd actually jane i for some time the united states is continuously abused. it's export control measures strength and it's crap down on chinese semi conductors and

artificially separated the global semi conductor market. this is a destruction of global free trade 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 has 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 chinese president fusion thing as a dictator. less than diplomatic were words. uh, that's one way of understanding it. and then you'll recall that anthony blankets, previous trip to beijing,

was cancelled over the balloon that floated into us territory. that us media declared to be a spiral known 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 media. that's how the world is looking. this friday evening in moscow as we head into the weekends. my name's peter scott's money bought for the another. look at today's top stories in 30 minutes the the the
