carried out with cluster bombs. i have followed the media reports for us as a state party, the oslo agreement on the convention own cluster. munitions applies. the here, k is signature you to a convention which prohibits the production or use of cluster munitions and discards is that youth cluster munitions can be dropped by air or fired from the ground or sea releasing hundreds of smaller bomb lads from an inner canister which are then dispersed over a large area, they have a comparatively high dug rate that result in greater numbers of casualties even years after they've been launched. former senior security policy analysts, michael maloof, says the country is opposed to washington's decision should stand firm, but he isn't convinced they will. i think that it's remarkable that uh, a native country. so some 2 thirds of the nato countries actually are signatories to the convention to prevent cluster bombs. and it's,

it's incredible that they'll still go along with united states and in allowing that to happen, they've got to stand firm now and, and make a statement. they haven't done that up until now, and i think that they're going to have to and i'm hoping that this could be the proverbial straw that breaks the camel's back in which they say ok, that's enough. and that's in fact, they're going to resist this as long as they fall in the united states. and this look for the united states has taken up to date. and it's, it's, it's nothing more than an escalation of this conflict. let's say if they stand up now to the united states and, and resist this decision making turn around, they can, they can say to the amount of quick pressure on the united states that they're not going to do it. but they're, they're weak. they always talk present week unless they start showing some these countries have got to say enough. yeah. and, and, and minute, and do something about it and make presentations to the white house,

to say that this is unacceptable. meanwhile, ukraine's president's a lensky visited a number of nato member states this week. he made a play for more arms and ammunition, but may have left disappointed. a number of his european counterparts dismissed his request saying they must insure their own security 1st and foremost of the conflict . this conflicts 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 am the president and supreme commanders and i have clear responsibilities not to weaken the defense capabilities of demo during all me. know the good news to moving to the conflicts front lines now were russian forces successfully repelled numerous ukrainian attacks over the course of the week. for the russian defense ministry reported that an assault brigade had defeated. kids forces near the town of cross any lima in the

town yet. republic around 90 ukrainian troops were killed and 5 surrendered. meanwhile, russian tanks have pushed caps forces back from their positions near the city of the almost also known as pot modes. mosca says troops gain ground in the neighboring lu counselor public, and this up throws a region where the ukrainian military was said to have lost foreign supply weapons . and ammunition. ukraine has been reading and its expectations for next weeks, nato summit. the head of the country's military intelligence says kia doesn't believe the gathering will deliver all at once. here's our t is donald quarter with more. 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 is just as reluctant to accept ukraine into its rank as

t f 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, 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? and the words of nato is 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 your friendship was slowly grinding along, which despite catastrophic losses, your brains premiere attributed to trying to save the lives of soldiers. eventually to have 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 into, i wanted the con defensive to start earlier. why? because everyone here that the delay would mean the most of the territory would be minds. why given the army, the opportunity and time to prepare defensive lines? i'm credit of to the yes. as the lead us of our support, 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 to do so many western weapons, so much tax payer money all to pay for

a colossal bloodbath and sustained an ungrateful and insatiable proxy state. the un secretary general has refused to retract his condemnation of israel's operation engine in this week, following criticism from the countries ambassador to the organization. earlier, antonio book, there is brand new television options, the worst violence in the west bank, in many years. members of the us, human rights council also condemned the raids saying they could amount to a war crime. he is ready for his operations in the occupied westbank, killing and seriously injuring the occupied population, destroying that homes and infrastructure and arbitrarily displacing thousands amount to agree just violations of international law and standards on the use of force and may constitute a war crime. 13 people were killed and dozens more injured during the huge is really operation in the janine refugee camp are cheese, middle east correspondent, maria the notion of past the story is really forces have withdrawn from the west

banks. janine and people can now bury the dead. the in 2 days of a wide scale offensive by the idea of at least 13 people have been killed. israel says terrorist members of various, i'm groups involved in weapons and explosives production. but for the people of janine, they were resistance fighters competing. these really rules that they, as well as most of the international community c as a 70 year long, military occupation with fight address and drones for the 1st time. and nearly 2 decades, they attacked their westbank from the skies. the idea says it targeted and destroyed weapons depos, i want to the factories entrances, leading to the underground tunnels, and that smells all the refugee camp of janine the city satellites. the israel calls have of tara was also heat. israel claims the attacks were pre size with the militants networks targeted. but as you can see,

several residential coulters now look like this. home to an estimated 20000 people . the camp now lies in ruins. the mentors i want of at least 500 families who had to flee the facilities royalty off to the operation kicked off refugees since 1948 following the stablish mint of israel and the war. they are now once again displaced. number i called on own countries around well to stand with us and support us because the palestinian people did not obtain their rights like old countries. why does depaula sting in child not enjoy his right to lives like all the children? that is why we ask that well, to support us and provide us with protection home if it's for cool, even though the operation is over, the months or family cannot go back as the home was destroyed, further, just identical with the army broke into our house and said the dog can mean to bite me. they took us out and kept attacking the house and the arrested one of my sons issue with them the other son. and after that, the district,

the house is really offensive is over for now. snow boots on the ground, armored vehicles left too, but as prime minister benjamin netanyahu out israel sees the need. the army will be right back. we have an ocean to all to reposing from janine refuge account, and the palestinian administration. asking about the potential involvement of the biden's in the white house. cocaine scandal is quote, irresponsible, at least according to their press sec. press secretary who bashed the journalists, trying to get a clear cut answer. are you going to the same one for all, whether or not? so the buy in family wasn't here. they were not here. they were a camp david. they were not here friday. they were not here saturday, they were not here sunday. they were not even here monday. we came back on tuesday . so to ask that question is actually credibly irresponsible. despite the press

secretary's claim that the bite and family were not at the white house on the friday before the package was discovered, the president's son hunter bite and did not leave the building for camp david until friday evening. according to a poor reporter, almost exactly 48 hours before the powder was found. well, joe biden himself reported a statement in the west wing that day, criticising the supreme court's decision on student debt relief. but these have been taking bets on just who is the mysteries owner of the cocaine job as personalities to political heavy weights have all made it onto the list, including musician snoop dog and elton john. and even the 1st couple joe and joe biden, alongside other notable figures. according to the bedding industry, the most probable culprits are either actress angelito to leave a random tourist. and at the top of that is hunter bite and who has a previous record of drug abuse the ceiling. further,

speculation is this video from the 4th of july celebrations at the white house. the footage shows a bite and family enjoying a private viewing of fireworks from a balcony while the president's son look somewhat dishevelled, taking deep breaths and scratching his nose repeatedly before leaving the podium. when asked about the discovery co painted a later, however, the president simply laughed it off the . does anybody really believe that the cocaine found in the west wing of the white house? very close to the oval office just for the use of anyone other than the hunter and joe biden, to 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 up aspirin. and the story will vanish. former vice chairman of the us libertarian national committee are been. laura believes the

mainstream media has effectively work to save the bite and family from political scrutiny and potential ruined. the advocacy of the buyers and families ability to, to withstands campbell is something that we marvel that you know, the, i don't think there's many other families and many other political families that can survive that much scandal. and i think with allowing that to happen is 2 things . one, the support of the a law enforcement and to and maybe more importantly is a huge support of media. right now. the left wing media is doing anything. it can to paint the bite and family in the most positive life that it possibly can it, to the extreme of refusing to put out information about the bottom family before the last election. because they were afraid that the truth would skew the results. and of course, the point the truth is suppose to change the results of the election. that's why

it's the truth, that the point of the truth, it's bare to change your decisions not to simply reinforce your previous decisions that were made and that the additional lot of dollars to the massive support of the media is a really huge part of this. this is nothing that's just happening because by the family like so clever cuttings. they're getting a lot of help from the media in every part of covering up or down playing the multiple scandals that the family's gone through. nigeria, as president, has praise the decision of his senegalese counterpart to not speak a 3rd term saying such a democratic staff will have a positive influence on other countries in africa. mackey solves commitment and uncertainty about his political future, which sparked widespread protests in the west african nation last month. and so what i did is i would like to say that i have clarity of mind and a clear memory of what i have said written and repeated here and elsewhere. which

is that the 2019 term was my 2nd and final term. no, i haven't caught of on there and a sense of historical responsibility that requires me to preserve my dignity and my word that got rid of it. the car returns as usual, cold after the president's declaration, that he's not going to run for a 3rd to see i must be it was in contrast to previous tensions, many senegalese feud, and suspected the president would want to run for a 3rd to be sending a lease, welcome visit decisions unanimously from all sides from presidential supporters to the opposition. to sick people. mackey has kept his wood as indeed he has always done during his time at the helm of the country. he's a man of his word who has always worked for the good. if he's country, what am i most reducing so i find the head of states decision wise with regard to everything that has happened as head of state. his responsibility was felt in every thing. you're going to do much a moment. we welcome the head of states, decision not to run from the presidential time. this is exactly what we expect to

defend. what are the, what, nothing more, nothing less of the 2 terms that his mission can be considered a complex. i pretty of uncle documenting involved in this around this question for several years. the president has therefore put him in to the assumptions and suspicions that have led to permanent political tensions in the country. in the beginning of june, in the wake of conviction of the opposition leader folk wrapped in youth, there have been violent dry. it's in the car. there was 16 deaths, according to the government, and 30 according to the opposition. the big question here in sending out is who will succeed the head of steed since he's not going to run for reelection? and who will be nominated by the presidential coalition? a political analyst and commentator le monde con, believes the president's announcement not to run for a 3rd term. we'll bring more stability to the country. we did the, i think the president's decision is a police and asked for the country,

which has been experience intention for a few months already. and part of it was those collective opinion that the president pointed to have another main date that would be unfair, that it is not allowed by the constitution, i think has a decision to know trunk point of a, to ease tensions and brought peace. but that doesn't mean that this is the end for a country. we want him to respect the constitution. that's what it's about. of course, there are lots of challenges that we myspace as a country. some people think that he's the only one who can solve our problems, but i don't agree. i just hope that he will do. oh it's, he's last month says the present to put back suddenly go back on the rails and a good place that will allow his successor to continue to work and improve senegalese democracy. the us treasury secretary has wrapped up her tour to china. i mean raging trade in micro chip disputes between the 2 countries. janet ellen has found herself and hot water at home after being accused of breaching us protocol for bowing while reading

a chinese official. the i'm here in the shooting to carry for we present in biden's director for his meeting with president and chief last november to deepen our communications from china, including our issues. never as a, as an american official does not. now, it looks like she's been summoned to the principal's office, and that's exactly the upticks, the chinese lo, these conversations were direct, substantive and productive. is not chinese at protocol co. sure to

do that. but it, it is in japan, do you think that she may have mixed up the countries while doing that? because as we saw on the video, the chinese representative did not follow back at all after being given many opportunities over the length of time. but just yelling, did it anything is possible? i mean, the us, they really don't make any difference between chinese. japanese are korea, and i mean, i have seen video clips of us senators, greeting the tie one liter. it's high. you went by a korean greeting. i know how to say, oh so, so this is us states and then so i wouldn't be surprised agenda y'all and was, was mistaken as well. the importance of the meeting between gender jaelyn and her chinese connor parts is really about supposedly setting the us china relationship back on track. now, whether that has to be accomplished or not, remain to be seen by didn't know we, it's so our phone,

what's the public statement released by you all? and that doesn't seem to be happening because yelling is, uh, is basically stick by the bite and then ministrations, policy of isolating china, restricting height, advance. so mark the conductor, sales to china was the same height i choosing china, of violating the spirit of free free market. capitalism, by restricting recently the sale of a dolly and germanium um to united states. i mean, when, in fact you was a check for the tax section. check this, this was a chinese response to the chip word that us wage y'all is line. is that? yes, we are doing what we do because ours supposedly national security, but you're not supposed to throw sanction back at us. that's not fair. hundreds of

koreans have show you shall protest against japan's plan to start dumping into the sea water contaminated by the 2011 foot fishing by nuclear disaster. the demonstration and sol came despite the south korean government backing tokyo's plan to release the treated water, saying it had no safety concerns do you ins. atomic watchdog has also given a green light to the move. the protesters though aren't convinced claiming it could have a negative impact on the countries valuable fishing industry. similar concerns are being shared in china, which is imposing a defacto band on imports of sea food from japan. 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 show up the consequences and responsibilities caused by forcibly discharging polluted water into the sea spilled water. it can not be gathered up again, and the bad consequences of the plan cannot be reversed. we urge japan 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 really lighted the release of the radio active water saying that the scientific work of the agency shall be trusted. the 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 until 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 where we the media, the race, the alarm. so 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 do not take 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 trust in the scientific work that it has been reported that some scientists 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 at region say that's the plan is simply irresponsible . 190 percent have expressed 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 know that some chinese sea food vendors are incomplete support of china's decisions to is, is a chinese citizen food safety is definitely of, uh, most important for me, i would products on purchase through a legitimate channels and we only sell them with the permission of the government 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 new fluid contaminated water into the secret cause 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 announcements in 2021. we've even local japanese people also expressing concerns over the contamination of the water. jeff and his fish lloyd buying their products and from japan we go to south korea where the plan has also prompted some south korean retailers to stockpile sea salt, 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 plan itself, warning that the remaining radioactive materials can accumulate in the food chain and call in and said for continue long term storage. and japan has not yet specified the date to start the waste water release. but what we do know for sure is that it would take the case to complete good concrete. 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 limbs. 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, not just once a year, and additional monitoring of the fish and sea food cotton, the region will have to become mandatory. so that's a rep are now coming up as developed countries vocalize or concerns about the

degradation of the environment. they still ship much of their garbage overseas and continue investing in high pollution energy projects in developing countries. the discussion next on worlds apart. thanks for tuning and see a box in the hello and welcome to was a part of the world may have low become a global village. but the rules and the last house practiced in one corner of that

village shop, opened the very opposite of what's allowed on, afford it. in the other part, as developed countries continued vocalizing that concerned about the degradation of the environment. they still export the march of the garbage overseas and continue investing in high pollution. outage of projects in developing countries is authentic and environmental justice even possible before the earth passes the point of no return to discuss it. i'm now joined by saying that his mom, the house on chief executive of the backlash and environmental lawyers association . reason one is great to see what to talk to. thank you very much for your time. thank you. i'm particularly grateful for uh for this conversation and for the chance to talk to because i really like your approach. i think you approach this very complicated, very science, the issue in a very human way and that is easy for an ordinary person to understand. so instead

of talking about, let's say, limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees celsius as the most scientist do, you speak about the quality of air that we breathe every 2nd of our lives. and that's lovely. speaking is what it is. one of the reasons why a logical issues are not addressed as they should be is because they are formulated in a way that is very high. * or it's for most people to grass and to practice. that's a great uh, when they talk about trying to change and we work with the communities. they don't really say climate change, but they explain their everyday difficulties to you. and by listening to their and they did the speaker, these maybe help person exports to what's happened in globally. i used anthony realize that it's happening because of climate change. so people don't know what i,

this is the stands for. they really do not understand what the golf steps for or what you n f, c c, c or mutations desk but, but they are the ones who are feeling the impact of our injustice is being done to the environment. so it is there, that respect is most important and what is this you say is exactly what my father was. i see. what is the safe is exactly what my fishermen are seeing. but they just have different levels.
