[000:00:00;00] the, the washington's decision to send widely from cluster of almost 60, of not only youngers most go, but leads to an outcry from may through allies of the us, the receiving. and so, demonstrators and opposition politicians make their feelings. we are over to tom's plans to release into the sea, treated contaminated water from the physical machine by nuclear power plants, the if mr. grossi is a sure pushing that contaminated water safe enough. i would like to ask if he is

willing to advise the government of japan, a water deprived country to use that water is drinking water. i'm digging for rich spots on costs. as a major canadian mining company expands, its presence in the african copper belt. questions are raised by the environmental impact that should violations of human rights news . 10 am and gaza in mombasa, and here in moscow this monday, july, the 10th. welcome to the our team. those are the united states will be committing more crimes in ukraine if it's tennis, plus g, munitions to kid. that is the blunt assessment of the russian embassy in washington after the us a lunch last week. it would be equipping ukraine with the widely bound and

indiscriminate weapons. i don't kind of the has the fact to confess to committing bull crimes by the united states. during the crating conflict. the ugly stated that civilians would die from american costs to type munitions and the perverse of view of the white house employee. this brings less home, then rushes actions to face any logic to the administration's decision, to transfer the cost of munitions. that boils down to the fact that it won't get any worse. united states is ready, destroy my fall from its own borders, with the hands of ukrainians for washington's decision to supply keyboard plus, your munitions comes just days before president biden is to attend the nato. a summit kicking off on tuesday tomorrow and let you in here with our take on the timing. here's our tea contributor, rachel morrison. it seems like a pretty straightforward mission. us president joe biden just had to get onto air force one and show up here in europe. this week for the nato summit in lithuania, for the usual photo op,

where he and other western leaders could all just ramble on about how united they are over ukraine, the usual stuff. but it was also going to make a pit stop a route to this meeting in london on monday to hang out with british prime minister research. so not to maybe try to keep deflecting any talk of that trade deal that the us promise bridge. and if it's secured, it's breakfast, divorce from the u. then he was supposed to hang out with king charles, whose coordination finding this because while he's 80 and probably needed his beauty rest, maybe he was just still too tired from the white house. easter april 5 is visit, was supposed to be a big chance for king charles to showcase is climate change projects and leverage biden's presence to philanthropist. and investors seems pretty simple right. what could possibly go wrong? well, how about the fact that right before the trip biden's stumbled to the podium and announced that washington would be sending ukraine cluster munitions. now that

might not go over too well with king charles or the royal family. given that the late princess diana made campaigning against landmines precisely like these, one of her life causes, binding effective. we cluster on his own trip with the cluster munitions issue capable of blowing up in his own face at any time, as allies are already condemning to move spain based on the firm commitment it has with ukraine, also has a firm commitment that certain weapons and bonds cannot be delivered under any circumstances, no, to cluster bombs and yes, to the legitimate defense of ukraine, which we understand should not be carried out with cluster bombs. i have followed the media reports for us as a state park, the, the oslo agreement on the conventional and cluster munitions applies. the year k is signatory to a convention which prohibits the production or use of cluster munitions and discourages that use. now what remains to be seen is how many of these allies are

actually voided call by didn't know to his face. we're talking here about weapons that are banned by a legally binding international treaty signed by these allies, but not by the us, russia or ukraine. these any additions though are dropped in containers of hundreds, most of which explode on impact, but some of which don't. so instead they end up setting into the ground and exploding on innocent civilians years later and often our children who mistake them for toys. but apparently, the pentagon isn't really that good at seeing the big picture. i'm as concerned about the humanitarian circumstance as anybody. but the worst thing for civilians in ukraine is for russia to win the war. and so it's important that they don't. so in this guy's logic, it would be a big wind for ukraine if the country was literally littered with time bombs that could blow up on its citizens at any time in the future. as long as it means having

a long shot at defeating russia on the battlefield, sounds exactly like the kind of foresight that the pentagon is shown and pretty much every single one of its recent failed for and wars. the buyer ministration itself was against cluster munitions before they were for them, even qualifying their use as a war crime just last year for some legal cluster bombs and vacuum bombs being used by the russians. if that's true, what is the next step of this is 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 we're true, it would potentially be a work crime. this 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 where civilians may be. but as far as the allies are slamming him for the move, the frame for a minister is using as an opportunity to showcase highly sophisticated diplomatic savvy. on twitter, in the wake of a german representative, calling munitions use, violation of international order and values. your help with your advice, mister all staggoner and company. you have no idea what you're talking about. have you ever been to war and ukraine for 500 days? did you feel the suffering of the people? if not, then stay seated on it'd be there. mire sofa. meanwhile, you printing presently 5 years. liskey is touring around the world like his taylor swift without any costume changes, of course. and well, he just is fresh off of flop and bulgaria was

a conflict. this conflict has no military solution. 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 jerry and all me go to see that remark, set zalinski off on the tantrum in which he accused russia of wanting to destroy nato europe. the european union and bulgaria maybe. ready to just focus a bit more on what washington is busy doing to his own country right now and all of it with his full blessing. rachel morrison as well as the vision rises within the military lines outside on the streets. there's been hostility towards the protesters up the u. s. consulate in toronto. happens in london, canada. take us down. some say no to nasal, organize your job. the demonstration were demanding peace of for also to withdrawal from the military block. they argue,

cutting aid to ukraine would help bring it in to the conflict and save that money to be spent on social services at home. is there a number of empty nature rawlings being held in the north american country since the conflict began? well, of protest come the sounds, the canadian prime minister just intruder heads to lift you any a for the upcoming nato summit topping the agenda. potential membership for sleep number potentially ukraine on the collect the funding increase for nato last year's meeting. so the block leaders declare a russia, quote, a direct threat to the allies. canadian lawyer and freelance journalist imagery less caught us was among those of the raleigh in toronto. the main message we want to convey is that nato is a fraud and the next essential threat to humanity. first of all, data does not make us more secure. nato is an aggressive military alliance. it's

record of violence and aggression is clear. so we're talking about not only an aggressive military alliance, an over militarized military life, but we're also talking about just override looting of the treasuries of western countries. we would like to see the canadian prime minister adopted position of neutrality and peace, which is precisely the position that the vast majority of the world has taken. uh, you know, almost nobody in central america, south america, africa, the middle east, and asia itself, almost no country is providing weapons to ukraine or imposing sanctions on the russian federation. what canada is going to do is what canada has done ever since, of joining nato, which is going to slavishly follow the demands of the new accounts in washington. and this is something to any country in europe for elsewhere. there's thinking about joining nato should think about very triply, be triple. what do you wish for? because what you're going to experience is what we've experienced here in canada, which is the loss of sovereignty. okay, some use that just came in a little while earlier,

the russian defense ministry is reporting that it's repels that ukrainian rocket a talk on several border regions along with an attempt to again hit the bridge to cry. mia for selby. it's your imbeciles for intercepted at on sunday. according to most good, new casualties were reported in the attack. russia's operations commander has ordered or defenses to be bolstered along with pre emptive strikes on rocket launch systems. the cardio had such attacks. mean, all russian troops are being put through their paces before being sent to the front lines that are t, steve sweeney has been watching them and their preparations. they say you snipers job's alone. the one i was spend to solitude waiting for the right moment is a dangerous role requiring high levels of concentration, an accuracy. but they are essential for russia. ukraine conflict assigned to

the sniper is a separate unit. for example, one sniper can do more than a company of soldiers because the sniper goes out both at night. and during the day you can work in an order of magnitude more people in a day. then the company, the main characteristics number must have is call. they shouldn't react at all, because if any critical situation takes place, it means that they have already been spotted. and something bad could happen. the sniper should work around the clock regardless of the weather. it's a completely different for now. everything is different from what it used to be, including the weapons. sturdy, lightweight equipment is essential to enable snipers to hold deposition for hours with emissions often lasting up to 4 days. and then until the different types of silence are from a company based out of them are all its weight is around 2 kilos. part optics are very good and i can see very well with them. it allows detection of troops up to 3 kilometers away. so i can mark the target with this rifle i've worked on targets at

a distance of 1600 meters away. the majority of snipers, a man, but 22 year old nasty had joined the defense of the homeland, the age of just 18 worship. um, i'm a medic, but i've also been trained as a snipe, but since i was 17, every day we coordinate the work of artillery and all the snipers from drugs. together we do tasks that are more or less straightforward. the will started in 2014. when i was 13, i watched a lot of other snipers was pasted on the internet. then i joined the military patriotic club where they trained us and then i joined the special forces. at the age of 17, i've got a little sister that i look officer and protect. i think i probably became a slide, but just to protect her because i lost that's very much a rule. everyone reacts differently to me. sometimes they treat me like a child, sometimes is a go and even sometimes the brother will trying to help each other out,

even if it's personal well working as a team or years through the the hey, one location is the snipers are practicing. hey, around this open field. as your credit is comprehensive, reciting, things may change quite rapidly in the road of the sniper will become ever more important. this is steve sweeney for all t in the don't. yes, republic control. the major developments from the conflict um footage from the front lines you can head to a website you'll find more on, keeps the country offensive efforts, tales of life as a mercenary on how i most schools responding to the latest challenges r t delta called the notice to a, to bring you today the approval by the you ends, atomic energy watchdog golf chip holmes plum to release previously contaminated water from the fu kachimba nuclear plant into the c has been met with oper, work from the number of sites,

korean m p's. they'd be making their feelings clear to the agencies had i you got the gen, i would like to say the i a is conclusion regarding international safety standards is limited to nuclear waste from normal nuclear power plants. now the nuclear waste from nuclear power plants that were next, it is giving me the grossest i'm. i'm very concerned that director gross said in the media interview yesterday, that he would drink the contaminated water or swimming it. if mister grossi is assured that the focus she may contaminated water is safe enough, i would like to ask if he is willing to advise the government of japan, a water deprived country to use that water as drinking water, or industrial, or agricultural water. instead of discharging it into the sea, from, with the m. p. 's argue the international atomic energy agency report overlooks the long term environmental and health impacts of the waste water release. sunsets a bad example to other countries. the spike concern from both the public and

opposition figures. the government in sol house by the un body's report, claiming its own analysis had fun. there would be no quotes, meaningful impact on its waters. wherever they, i a heads or i feel gross did say that it's understandable, but people are preventive about the plan. the visits of the atomic watched dogs chief was met with angry demonstrations as he arrived inside korea from japan, with protest rallies held throughout the weekend. johns from the crowds could be heard inside the hole, where the lawmakers meeting with the i a e. a was being protested, say they're extremely concerned about the risk opposed to the health of the nations people. i'm for generations to come. i think the i a e a record is a trick. does it show some legitimacy for japan spoke a shame of both a plan from ven guaranteeing any scientific objectivity. so i cannot believe the objectivity of the i a e report on this issue. voicemail williams, a problem,

you know, this is a matter of conscience and responsibility for future generations, including our children and to send them for the rest of their lives. today i will be worried whenever i eat, and i won't know if it's solid right for me to eat this. i think there will be a lot of follow up issues and that's why people are so angry. the. i'm so angry in the future, the food that comes from the sea that we're going to eat, the water vapor, the prizes from the sea and comes down as rain. well, eventually harmless. oh, and the worry about that repeated i, there's more than 80 percent of the south korean suppose discharging the nuclear contaminated water from focus man to the see, the one sided attitude of the south korean government and the ruling party in favor of japan is really hard to understand that is why i'm here to protest, not just sides. korean people are china is foreign ministry criticize the discharge plan last week and threatened action if it was going ahead. the country already has

a bond on food in ports from 10 japanese regions of. busy being the focus she menu for meth done in 2011 hong kong know saves it's considering. busy being sea food and agricultural products from quote, high risk regions in japan coming in as well. i spoke to a professor of japan's university of chas zuka, who believes the claims of the side pre and opposition on bus by science. the fact of the matter is the truth, him that you know, for pushing my dues out is expected at one 7th of the amount that's recommended by the ego. and it's only going to be $22.00 training to, to, you know, per annum over 30 years. whereas, for example, korea who is making a big claim about this, gives out 157 care bechtel worth of training every year in any country with any new cri january or do sell is true. so if they're so concerned about it,

why aren't they picketing in front of the french embassy, which gives out $14500.00 terre bechtel per annum, saying that the government is putting good relations at with japan. those type 3 and then pays above public safety by barking, the water release plan. you don't think that that assessment is based in reality. i think your question is wrong in the sense that they're not sacrificing, you know, public safety. because i've just to explain to you that it is totally safe, it is safe for then you know what the korean disperse is making done, or you know, it being done in china as well, right? but so it's sorry to interrupt, but there wasn't that new killer milstein within just over a decade ago, inside korea. that's happened in japan. and one of the issues that people have with other issues around the world is that it's not just in the, in the soul, in the water, no affecting people, it stays there. and so we don't really know what it's going to be like in

generations to come. so perhaps the side, korean people, lowest opposition and peas are, are one thing to take a safe approach to this. because they don't know what it's going to be like in 50, a 100 years time. find. and let me ask you a question that it would be a problem of focus cima in region, isn't it? we're talking about what will be discharged into the sea in the pacific ocean, which is the opposite of where, you know, korea is basing in the 1st place. one of the world's largest mining companies is setting it sites on the african copper belt with plans to dig for new deposits and some of the of the democratic republic of congo. the questions are being raised as to whether profits for the canadian firm or being put before the environmental impact on the safety of workers picking up the story. here's local reporter level. you could, the mining companies globally have a reputation for poor environmental and human rights practices. canadian companies

which dominate the global industry are among the most accused offenders. and for years that are gold has back to the way with reports of serious human rights abuses . and it's mines within the african continent and beyond. and the company has failed to address the protected c. as of this moment, barrick is competing back into a region. many had seemed determined to leave some b, a and the democratic republic of congo we evolved to forest at area. roughly the size of portugal contains one of the worlds of which is catches of minerals, copper for y, as in cables and cobalt for rechargeable batteries, which is very both handful fluoride is ongoing, easy, especially to be sure when that's coming due to coming going well, he respect our low and q and b also, he bought it to gave more uh, uh, benefit to local communities. if it's not through the ceiling or reaction is to 1st discourage the congo reasons and being governments from offering him this market.

because of our bristow does not respect anything. mix brought down say, this is shane who he is home when foreign companies in multinational. com. unfortunately, they don't respect that we wouldn't contract what's needed for the republic. what's the need for the population? okay, that's what got to come into the in the communities have been left with the little choice but to, to, into canadian quotes for justice. and then in the to the mines culture of violence, the case of ledges. barrick is responsible for the violence committed by mind. police and security. this case is another step in attempting to hold canadian mining companies responsible for their overseas human rights abuses. communities in many parts of the world, not only in africa, have been a longer hands with barrick gold, over land destruction war to produce and, and the killing. las active as an old, old battery has repeatedly said it has resolved, but human rights issues at the mines,

according to lawsuits and reports. human rights abuses have increased in recent years. the such that during 20212022, that happened at least 5 killings, 5 incidents of torture and 5 of the shootings. and of course the mining di and says it is old, but in this and it is riddled with an accuracy's. we intend to vigorously defend against these allegations and the appropriate forum. it attempts to advance claims against barrick gold corporation in ontario based on alleged actions of the tens and the end police. even though barrick exercise has no control or direction of any nature over the tens and in police legal proceedings. and for in course nancy and the survivors know that they face an optional struggle against the powerful cooperation. but they have no other alternative to for justice and means of resolute, especially as evidence is emerging, the barracks dealings with the victims of violence by mis secuity and put these in

popping again into zenia was primarily designed to protect the company from legal action rather than to provide a remedy for women who have been raped and men have been hurt or killed by mind, security buried gold corporation in earth rights. international ery, have negotiated a settlement of claims by 14 individuals from popular in new guinea, p. n. g, represented by harry in relation to a variety of alleged acts of violence concerning the port jeremiah and n p n g. 11 of these individuals are women with claims alleging acts of sexual violence including rape. active is continue to say that battery cannot continue dismissing communities and must respect the to month and remedy the hong kong, contributed to by spot operations carpet spends us the starting, the information you're lying to you, a chance to travel or go to. that's true of me so i can prove it. let's go to the court. yeah,

i'm not. that's not true. this is an i do listen so i will leave. i wouldn't be but i am here. okay, so my tenant that's your hold on yours to is line and you were to see when they were being too we do by the sun. go to scrub martin. thank you. i say i'm rock on it's not for me to sun this end of the lives. it is this. yes, you're feeling my p for your sending. the water skips to the end. you are not allowing me to the saying, i'm lying. i don't know whether it's just on my my house was burned down. weird because of your project, not you not. uh, we are not in any way that we don't plan to use the glass ports please. what do you need? please stop getting indigenous people. this would go back to balance is done press those position and all of this is tending is regarded as natalia split outspoken and then aggressive deal made kind is famed for his hands on management style. well, many have labeled him as disrespectful dismissive and never adequately addressing

the real concerns of barrick operations of all of this. while the rest of the world is reading from the damage the bad because inflicted on peoples and seeing impoverished and local communities, and survivors of police killings and assaults as being out for vengeance. and it's a position is really unlikely to improve barracks human rights. oh, it's a s g credentials. we realize that this mine would contaminate all water and destroy our glasses. it would have destroyed all valley and our lives now was very cold. executives once a day to face the sphere hold is what a desire to grow and cop are mainly africa. investors should be asking themselves why this company is continuously embroiled in conflict and legal action involving it's deeply harmful relationships with indigenous communities that surround its areas of minds. now there parliaments may be located thousands of

miles apart, but they're working in them. are increasingly getting close, or a key delegation from russia headed by the opera chamber of parliaments. chairwoman is in beijing of the personal invitation of the chinese parliament ed. they already warm relations between the countries are expected to deepen. further, as talks are tables on cooperation between the legislative bodies. the 1st cultural pit, spelled for valentina labianca, was the museum of the communist party of china, opened in 2021. it showcases more than $4000.00 items and relics of national importance. among them, the hops and coats of the funder of the people's republic mode said told which she wore during the proclamation of the people's republic ortiz double quarters invasion. and as more and what's expected of us here right now in beijing where a delegation from russia's federation council has arrived for the 8 to meeting on

international cooperation with the chinese people's congress. the russian delegation is led by the chair woman of the federation council. valentino might be an costs and it where what's going to be discussed here is not exactly clear yet. it could be anything from uh, anything between trade and economics, cooperation and energy, cooperation to politics and discussing potential regulation of ukraine. conflict then, right behind me is the great hall of the people where these talks are expected to take place with the chinese people's congress. now it's a board to know also this comes on the backdrop of a number of recent high profile visits by us officials to china, which were intended on potentially reviving relations, which are at an all time low set or if it or as low as they've been in several decades between the us and china, over disputes connected to security. and of course, the taiwan issue as well. we saw one recent visit by the us finance secretary,

janet ellen who took 4 days here in china and ended her trip with actually very few results. she said that the chinese side express concerns over her talking about a rather decoupling the economies of china and the united states. but she said that there was a difference between the coupling and the risking with the exact difference she didn't really explain. but again, very few results came out of that meeting. there was another meeting just earlier than that by us secretary of state anthony blanket and who you again very few results from this meeting, but it is not worthy to say that you as president joe biden controversially called seizing, paying a dictator just shortly after that. so this meeting between the russian delegation and the chinese people's congress really presents some big opportunities for russia in china to improve the longstanding strategic cooperation that both countries have enjoyed for a long time. now, for her love a life less ordinary in focus coming up,

but one becoming increasingly dangerous. first time testimony from one of the most murderous waterways in the world is told ahead in our short documentary, the cocaine river. you do not want to miss this the the holy man, the society or something
