the, the, the top headlines right now and all the international as the byte and white house is placed to dispatch and i believe fluffs the ball, mr. ukraine, munitions, that germany is opposed to a sudden thing. ball nato maintains a neutral stuff. radioactive water is set to be pumped off, the coast of japan. china comes down on the sea food impulse. so those details are often coming we are not in the manner in which a lot of other countries are they have already model economic objectives. india is 4 minutes or was on a, for a visit to the east african nation of townsend

e. a. g 20 to new delhi is focusing on building ties for the emerging economies of the global south in the growing multi coded wrong. the point is that good to have you with us for this, our live program it from most go. you'll stories start right now and straight to to america, where despite a pledge to phase out cluster munitions in 2016 because of the risk to civilians, washington is now announced plans to send the controversial weapons to keep the ukraine has been requesting cluster munitions in order to defend its own sovereign territory, the cost or munitions that we would provide have done rates far below what russia is doing. we're closely coordinating with ukraine as it has requested these munitions. ukraine is committed to post conflict, the mining efforts to mitigate any potential harm to civilians. as weapons are

quite powerful, they're quite destructive. another thing used by both parties currently in the 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. and we step 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 to start to stop father munitions. now it says it wants to sort of start following the forwarding them into this, the meat grinder in 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 prove 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 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, uh these are quite as dangerous weapons and they don't just at then not just effective on the file, seal 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 conflict scenario, or farmers plowing a feel the ukrainians and potentially russians. but also this comes in the context if you called the sending of depleted uranium. so it seems just ala carte,

a attitude to these weapons is very much in evidence here that as well, america could condemn the use which they did illegal, cluster bombs, and vacuum bombs being used by the russians. if that's true, what is the next step of this in ministration? is there a red line for how much violence will be tolerated against civilians in this manner? that illegal potentially is? it would be, i don't have any confirmation of that. we have seen the reports. if, if that were true, it would potentially be a work crime feel, but they also condemned their you since through you and russian use them against terrorist them. 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 a necessary software where the russians have been indiscriminate. they've been

reckless in syria. they seem to have no difficulty dropping cluster munitions around worship, millions of. 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. remember, the united states has dropped thousands of tons of these new nations in their various military misadventures. going back as far as comp 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 the playing in bottles. 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 ukraine inside who will probably have to die before this come for think it's brought to it to an end. 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,

the view and this week have never been used on the modeling battlefield before other know, being used in a very cynical way by the military industrial complex to, to gauge their effective a specific. so a dangerous escalation. another red line pushed forward this inc for mental move towards more, more munitions, more, more of these salaries at. so we're going to have to watch this space very carefully. so when it does come to these controversial plus the bottom, munitions, we've got the opinion on the inside of human rights lawyer down to about that's 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 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 guides, 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. i mean, this is just plastic and box 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 conflict. 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. i 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. let's get through and now some of the like us from the front lines where russian forces have made it advances against ukrainian positions and the don't yet script the

russian brigade has defeated, key have supported the town of class, the limit around a 90 ukrainian troops, reportedly killed 5 surrender with his remaining troops arose re unassigned, retreating from that positions of the russian defense ministry also reporting that us forces have gain ground in the heart of san an separate orgy regions. meanwhile, your crimes president has been devolved area to meet with his counterpart of the data and then decided with the top spiraled into a public disagreement in front of the press of a key of the bonds for weapons. savanski had high hopes that sophia would supply. i'm of the bulgarian president, said he must ensure 1st and foremost, his own country's security. 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 jerry nomics know,

because we discuss that further details of the landscape. or is it a voluntary with a child thought about actual an international and national security ex, but he says, well, the ball gary, unprecedented again. this exporting weapons to ukraine, the government below him makes the final decision. well, the 2nd level, starting in bulgaria, zalinski is visit, was kept in secret. finally, we found out that it was the council of ministers and not the president who invited to lensky. the purpose of the visit was to receive bulgarian ammunition. and of course, heavy weapons are president, remind ride to have had earlier said that we would not transfer them now. but as bulk area is a problem entry republic, the president cannot be in these weapon exports to train people with great shame. i cause a lensky a president, but he's actually some kind of public and has the americans in the british who command this puppet. they don't want the conflict. and their main goal is to fragment russia to weaken it, to the play this economy and to carry out an internal to. but the outcome of this

conflict won't be successful for russia. central europe and probably eastern europe will play a role of a buffer between backward western europe and prosperous, russia. china and india. most bulgarians reject any support for the ukrainian leadership. but our government is a pro fascist regime. in the case, it will stay, it will send an munition weapons and people to crane. in bulgaria, all the government members have sold themselves out to the anglo saxons. unfortunately, they involve bald guerria in their big gamble without making the rounds across the regions. the landscape travel to tennessee a to meet with his count, about the great depth of the one for boldly on topic with a swedish and ukrainian bids on for nato membership on the discussion of all weapons that you have the crime. and it says it has been closely following this to understand the folks, most goals are saying that the focus of presidents efforts to, well have a mediating role is much appreciated to make this the ongoing conflict in ukraine.

let's learn more now. crossing live to a journalist a yes in can. who's joining us now for me is stumble. yes and a very good evening. so i know it's after 11 p. m, where you are now, so it's great to have you on the program. let's just to mentioned a bit of background. here's the landscape. very busy man. these days visited bulk area 24 hours ago looking for more weapons that didn't go that well. went straight to the czech republic on a similar mission, but now friday night and he's been deep and poked into. okay, with president of the one. yes. and do we know anything yet coming from tonight's to as well. the information that has been made available has been stairs, and there could be a number of reasons. that's why, for most of the security concerns about the branding president cost. but most importantly, the fact that much of the much of that reading is being done. and i pose or so what's this really translates to a is the level of security that's being taken into consideration. but most of the

topics that are being discussed. uh the, probably the president's is the nice thing originally visited or to live it in december. and the play and of course in which he landed, would this use was a matter of concern within the country. local idol is southern discussing the breach of surrounding dogs and based on the meeting that he had with the check, officials on the check republic do suggest and based on statements that came from the czech republic, suggest that the check republic will be supporting european union talks with you frame for more so essentially to nato and this is a matter of concern that is being just discussed with the directors president matters and surrounding the grand court or deal security concerns around that. but more so the timing of this meeting between the 2 leaders, the twins that i'm in between are the ones is crucial. next week there will be the nato summit. and we do expect, although that has not been any sort of information as to whether or not this was discussed, the meeting does come ahead of the needle. so maybe we can expect that the ex

president to discuss in further detail about the events of this meeting with the russian presidents later this week. but most definitely before the nato summit on the 2nd for you. all right. have john lester. yes. in that kind of joining us by from a sample where it's nearly quarter past 11 pm local time. thank you for as well. china is imposing a defacto band on an impulse of japanese sea food is following the island nation's decision to begin dumping water contaminated by the 2011, a frequency of a nuclear disaster straight into the sea. it comes off of the united nations atomic, watched all greece to report claiming this whole plan would be safe to the japanese side, white wash 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 shock its 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, the food products comes while depends making final preparations to dump nuclear contaminated water into the sea. and will this issue has raised many concerns among chinese consumers over the quality and the safety of japanese food, the director general of the u. n's, atomic watch dog raphael raw see has real lighted the release of the radio active water saying that the scientific work of the agency shall be trusted. the agreements that we have with the,

with the coal and with the government of japan are permanent in the sense that as i said, the other day until the last girl and perhaps you them, your wheels in terms of evaluating, assessing at the, at we will be there, if we see problem a deviation, we're really media 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 necessary decisions. one has to test the scientific work of the uh, we are new 12, we don't update sites, we look at the science, we look at the problem and we have an assessment. and then we can, we can discuss is interesting that he mentions of a trusting the scientific work. it has been reported that some scientist behind this report has dealt with some disagreements and scores. when the director general was asked about this, he simply brushed it off and did not elaborate according to

a global times research center survey over 80 percent of respondents in 11 countries in the asia pacific region say that the plan is simply irresponsible. 190 percent have express negative sentiments over the plan and 94 percent have said that the move will have a negative effect on the whole world, not just the region itself. and it is very important also to note that some chinese sea food vendors are incomplete support of china's decisions. 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. this issue concerns the health of future generations about how does the c belongs to the whole world and all of humanity, the japanese release of nuclear, they contaminated water into the secret costs irreversible pollution. i won't

choose to eat japanese food in the near future, and it's not just the chinese citizens that are worried because the plan has been controversial since it's announcement in 2021. we've even local japanese people also expressing concerns over the contamination of the water. jeff and his fishing n c. food groups have also voice their concerns about their livelihoods, as the fear that consumers would rather avoid buying their products. and from japan we go to south korea where the plan has also prompted some south korean retailers to stockpile. see sold, which has led to a search and prices in korea and from korea we go to the environmental group green piece who has long been critical of the planets. * of warranty and that the remaining radioactive materials can accumulate in the food chain and call it instead for continued long term storage and depend, has not yet specified the date to start the waste water release. but what we do

know for sure is that it would take that case to complete the complete. yet we cannot exactly predict the effects we will see over the next 30 or 40 years, or even in a 100 years, even taken into account modern modeling techniques and modern computers. the earth is a very complex system. after all, and the world's oceans are large and almost completely unexplored, part of it, any introduction of radioactive substances require some kind of response from living organisms. we aren't going to speculate about the various looms. bish might grow. we'll leave that to the imagination, but some kind of add up taishan must take place. maybe they will become more tolerant to this increased radiation or some species may disappear. but it should be understood that the i a e, a experts have studied this question. and although some people may have suspicions about geo political motives at the moment, we have no reason not to trust the i a as an organization. there are representatives of various countries there and researches on going in terms of

commercial fish. if they are exposed to this tritium isotope, every batch will have to be checked. i emphasize every batch and not just once a year and additional monitoring of the fish and sea food cut and the region will have to become mandatory. in the skies of a syria, a russian fighter jet has intercepted yet another unmanned american repoed drug and the token 2nd day in a row. now, the us f also producer stipend, regarding the incident, claiming the russian pilots were at fault and they were being very, very note, a russian military aircraft engaged an unsafe and unprofessional behavior. thursday 9 30 am local time while interacting with us and q 9 drones carrying out our d, isis mission and syria, russian aircraft drops layers in front of the drones and food dangerously close and venturing the safety of all aircraft involved. all right, so in the video released by uh the u. s. f. also right here we go to russian a s u 35 fi through it. so seeing shadowing, the reboot,

driving before it engages off the bonus and release is power. shoot flat as a whole incident taking place in syria and saw for an aerospace by russian forces are stationed at the direct request of the syrian government of back in march or refer you as a entered russian as space over the black see. and then crashed into waters below, after being sprayed, have a look at this. it was right, sprayed by fuel from our russian fight. a jet. most goes ministry of defenses are peacefully wanting to us and its allies of the possible ramifications, but crossing into controlled air space. washington is incursion into us, very nice base, but got back in 2014. when america launched as rhymes and cruise missiles on the country claiming damascus had used chemical weapons. a claim that still to this day is not being proven. many americans will make a zip code for the withdrawal of us forces from syria. but those a 10 says recently as mon shipping rejected by those holding power in washington. by discuss this with a john, mr. stevens, so who we any?

they told us of the us stipends about the drone incident as simply political optics . as american troops have no legitimate right to be in or above syria of this accusation, just for politics the by the americans for politic use. the americans came into syria illegally. the american military gave it to syria, and worse was the separate this, the kurdish separate this to create, to cause chaos in the, in syria, the american military who came and installed the scene and resources of oil gas. and we and our to for bidding the city and the people from it and making the see it in the people to suffer. and the american they are, they are the number one cause of the war issue. yeah. and the see any crisis to lead to last this long, the source, it had been finished locked time ago. my. but because the united states, they want to keep them, at least they are. they want to keep them at least intention. and that's why they

are there. on the, on the other hand, as you said to the russians, are you yeah, legally under the request of the legitimate syrian government. and that is the right of disputing government under the international law to have to ask deed from any country. and that is belie, russia has met its database from which in the emerging multi point of world africa in india kind of corporate to see both of their economies rise to gather. that's the message from india is foreign minister as it kicked off of 4 diapers or to the east africa nation of tons and the i see data you focuses on building ties with emerging economies of the global. the approach to actually god today is to create more of a task like that to invest in africa, to work with us to create capacities enough to go. so that the rise of africa also takes place as countries like india, authorizing the initial,

the external affairs, minnesota 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 minnesota has had a long list of an agenda during his 4 day visits to the african states. and this includes the inspect uh, what's a supply project in pennsylvania as well as some of the details of tens are near, will be meeting with the minister exams he bought as well as it was section that will be taking place on an indian naval ship. but 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, n, tenzing media as a whole, we are not. as in 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 media 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 efforts as a whole include collaborations in industry such as pharmaceuticals to the communications and renewables. and the ink to sprints in africa's software lines is a one that the searching fee of putting a, the other day we were talking with a little bit and have a soul come from the university of zambia. and he pointed out that the visit by india is 4 minutes to shows effort goes rising clout in the new multi poto in

this way, my friends are minister, easy to our terms right now, also shows, are there a lot of interest, you know, in africa? i think actually guys, the new one has been, but now the needs to engage with africa has a good thing because we created it multiple. i was, if you look at the yes, 1020 is the before that africa was dominated by the west. because most of bostic, i'm countries i know web for my photo news over the bridge into many runs on the european countries. when you look at the, you know, watching, just seeing you guys time which you know of the month, but uh it as low as i really enjoyed relationships on equal business with african countries. uh, but you know, in the us, in a large michigan naija. so it does competition with the to buy in country

on the india sporting for disease with regards to africa, biscuit, and lead us not to or far as i know, the iran has reportedly seized in american commercial vessel and international waters that it suspected of smuggling and violating maritime laws. let's get to your house now. here's our correspondent, yusef jan. tension is between one in washington have once again escalated the persian gulf as the long seizes another american best all on thursday. the behind based us navy ships. please send a statement on thursday that'd be as long to cover lucian. gar. score seized a commercial ship, possibly engaged in smuggling activity. on july, 5th, us forces prevented to attempt the commercial tank or seizures by the iranian navy . after the radians had open fire. in one of the incidents near the coast of, on both of these incidents occurred international waters. the bed combs following an attempt by the r g c to entitled a last painter on wednesday,

which it was. it had collided with another one in vessel. your was ports and maritime organizations, 7 and thursdays statement the ship, which is owned by us energy company. chevron had ignore basic international maritime, was by escaping the scene of the collision within the body and vessel. international waters in southern iran. according to the announcement of the maritime search and rescue center of the hermas gun province, the last 2 days, a tankard named the richmond voyager was a flag of the bahamas collided with an iranian vessel with 7 crew members. as a result of this incident, they run in vessel was flooded, and 5 people from the crew of the bustle were seriously injured. after the collision, the richmond voyager oil tank are continued on its way regardless of international maritime rules and regulations. it wants, as it has now reformed or manual for the use of the case. i will continue efforts to seize the issue because they say it's a violation of international maritime lost in recent years. washington and didn't

want to have treated accusations over a series of incidents in the 10s persian gulf waters which are vital to energy trade in april and early may. your wants these 2 centers within a week and original warranty process is in charge of insuring the security of this trader, who is, which is one of the most strategic oil tragic miles. it's a sharp point between the c o man and the persian gulf. how does that passage way for one of the world's total energy transfer? so it's very important. these problems are probably has in the past carried out sooner, operations against british and american vessels. it was perceived to be and flexing of naval muscles to the west centers. so that was the one that's pulling this trends into strategic straight up. our most mean time. iran has officially joined the seo with the shanghai cooperation organization. but there is also talk of the ceo merging with the bricks family, or at least becoming indistinguishable from it. now of course, right now,

there are 13 countries looking to join bricks and if indeed the to alliances did much, it would become the biggest and potentially most powerful economic on strategic law . on the time, just a bit of a food for the total is the aggressive today. i'm authorized with additional strong sites today. russian was the country with the most sanctions imposed against it. a number that's constantly growing, but i think you chose probably almost a couple seniors who speak on the senior most. the more in the will shift for banning all important show of russian oil and gas is suffering the price for another country propose. what we're going to do is just the fed sort of thing for the little joe bites in,

imposing these sanctions on. russia still has destroyed the american economy, so there's a boomerang, the unity and those other income childrens ombudsman in the guns people's republic is investigating cases of missing children associated as part of the reason that there is to see him just of the sort of it is a d, a stuffed image for virginia or utility that that's going to allow then just give them why and normally don't put people on your grandson elementary school. but again, the g. i'm done in the system, but i'm really am. i am going to show as little as collateral. that is point 9 in school, but she has to be the one that was probably the most. we were slits in your district . you're moving to swing by and introduce g easy as not showing him.
