the, the to goes without saying, nato was a variable, would have thought that in the core of its belief system was believing in unicorns the bike administration's decision to set a cluster bombs. ukraine demonstrates that the the, the print lend reveals that president, met with the back in our groups commanders, including for goshen a few days after the attempted new need to discuss their faith with them. washington's decision to send widely band cluster bombs to cab. not only anger's, a host of countries, including russia, china, and come boat here, but also americans close nato allies. china is a strong, friendly shoulder for russia to rely on. that's the message from the russian

parliament chairwoman, after top with president changing thing in beijing pans. saving and sold demonstrators and opposition figures making their feelings clear over japan's plan to release contaminated water from the machine by nuclear power plants and into this. if mr. grossi is assured that the focus she met contaminated water safe enough. i was the government of japan, a water deprived country to use that water is drinking water the good afternoon for moscow. this is our t international with the latest and world news. i'm fiorella is about happy to have you join us. we start with breaking news here on our tea. the kremlin has revealed that president clinton met with the leadership of the wagner private military company, including commander. you have guinea pig version 5 days after the attempted mutiny

last month. that's according to kremlin spokespersons and me through pest golf. the president had such a meeting, all the commanders of the groups and its leadership, including precaution himself, looks as the meeting took place in the kremlin. on june 29th. it lasted almost 3 hours. the president gave an assessment of the group's actions, or let's are joining here in the studio by nice to see you. so could you walk us through the details of the kremlin statements? so as we heard from the press secretary himself, the russian president, vladimir, put and has met with the commander in chief of the wagner group. if going to the golgi in just 5 days after the attempted new and, you know, the president has also listened to the explanations of the commanders and has offered impressed their point of views on the events and has said that they are loyal to rush out and that they're ready to fight for the motherland. none the less now need the attempted new in itself. last month,

the wagner group has marched from the russian city of christ, bob, on the way to the kremlin, when thankfully, by thanks to a deal brokered by bell russian president, alexander lucas chunk of the rebellion of sales. yeah, and so the west has been talking about this now for weeks. what are they saying about the consequences to russia? now it is very interesting to note that the western media has taken this whole situation way out of proportions, claiming that this is the start of the, in the broad shops that russia is unstable. they're also say is a sign of moscow purging the roof. that clouds are hovering over wagner's. 9 operations enough with that, but it's really interesting to see that the west has demonized any russian presence in africa. read africans themselves, do open the russian presence in their continents. as we see, the advisor to the central african republic of the president of the central african republic has said that if it's not wagner anymore,

they send beethoven or mozart. it does not really seems like the spice of them is a russian presence in africa. a b, i advertise themselves, but now the western media has also plains, that there's chaos in russia, but we knew it looks like we have the russian president who seems to be very open to the start to discussing the issues and what happened and to listen to the commanders and their point of views as well, and to present their versions of the, of what happens now. also, the russian president has given addresses to the nation previously after this rebellion and has also given 3 options to the commanders. you go to below russia for you just go home. yeah, and i'm sure we're all wondering what exactly was said during that meeting and you'll be updating us throughout the week. thank you so much. the russia and then to send cluster bombs to ukraine. they say the supply of the wildly

band and indiscriminate weapon by washington constitutes a war crime, e. this brings less home then brushes, actions, irresponsible transfers of cluster munitions can easily lead to humanitarian problems. relevant parties should not fuel to the fire, exacerbate country the cranium crisis. washington's decision to supply to have with cluster munitions comes just days before president biden is to attend a nato summit kicking off on to contributor rachel marsden with her take. 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. today to hang out with british prime minister, reach you soon. ok,

maybe try to keep deflecting any talk of that trade deal that the us promise britain if it's secured its breakfast divorce from the u. s. because while he's 80 and probably need to view the rest, maybe he was just still too tired from the white house. easter april by his visit was supposed to be a big chance for king charles to showcase his climates. 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 wonderful life causes. by an effective we cluster, gone his own trip with the cluster munitions as you capable of blowing up in his own face. as allies are already condemning to move spain based on the firm

commitment it has with you that certain weapons and bombs cannot be delivered under any circumstances, no, to cluster bombs, and yes, to the legitimate defense of ukraine, which we end up with cluster bombs. i have followed the media reports for us as a state party, the oslo agreement on the conventional and cluster munitions applies. the year k is signature you to a convention which prohibits the production will use a cluster munitions and discourages they use. now, what remains to be seen is how many of these allies are actually voided. call by the know to his face as we're talking here. lead finding international treaties 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. you mistake them for toys. but apparently, the pentagon isn't really that good at seeing the big picture i'm is concerned

about the uh, but the worst thing for civilians and 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 you crane if the country was literally littered with time bombs. this ends at any time in the future. as long as it means having a long shot at the feeding brush on the battlefield. sounds exactly like the kind of foresight that the pentagon has shown and pretty much every single one of its recent field for and wars. the biter. ministration itself was a gets cluster munitions before they were abused as a war crime just last the 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 violate against billions in this manner that's illegal to potentially more information. if that we have seen the reports essentially be

a war crime initial open source reporting highlights the use of several populated areas including hama and edward's tax. using these imprecise weapons only continue to cause a necessary so indiscriminate. they've been reckless in syria. they seem to have no difficulty dropping cluster munitions around we're civilians may be, but as part of the allies are slamming him for them or is using it as an opportunity to showcase highly sophisticated diplomatic savvy on twitter that in the wake of a german representatives, calling munitions use violation of international order and values. your to help with your advice, mr. all stigma 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 a beat or mire sofa. meanwhile, you printing president 5 years. liskey is touring around the world like his taylor

swift without any cost him changes, of course. and well, he just is fresh off of flop and ball guerria. there's 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 have clear responsibilities not to work in the defense capabilities of demo jerry and all me, you know, the good news to be off on the tantrum anyway for nato, europe, the european union, and bulgaria. maybe you should just focus a bit more on what washington is busy doing to his own country right now. and all of that with the has also condemned the us plans to send cluster munitions. takisha of the prime minister. hundreds of the americans use of starch bombs in the region during the 1970s was the record. and cambodia is not the only one to condemn the weaponry. there's been news release that the united states will provide tommy cambodians had its own painful experience of this from the 19 seventy's when

america used cough a century now. but we're still looking for ways to destroy them. old. the

whole analyst brian bar let it says that even today, people in cambodia, neighboring laos and vietnam are dying from the cluster bombs which still remains scott, to cambodia, allow, and vietnam, or spite of these types of munitions. a lot of these munitions are still scattered across the territory. i'm body. i believe it's been about 20000 people, kills unexploded ordnance. and what people need to remember is that now cambodia and 5 minutes are about and send specifically sided with you christ and has been supporting you crying all along. so you could say that that's one thing, but this is a country that has supported ukraine and they are condemning this move by the united states to send them these cluster munitions, find their mit meant to be real foster and survive under combat conditions because there's always going to be a certain percentage of them that failed to explode and they will persell, disturbs because they're made out of modern materials. it's,

it's not as if they're going to bio the grade 4 years actually decades. that keeps the calm. moscow says ukraine has recruited about 12000 loss of life. the russian defense ministry says can use this quote, cannon fodder, a lot for you throughout the games, the back drop on the physicians, ukraine, and in order to high because that's true. i think last as of this is the key of routine has stepped off. it's recruitment in asia, lots in america and the middle east. so a truck for the missionaries, february 20, 221167540. and most of these have a fixed recipient has still a diesel on the crate inside. however, after the initial loss has suffered the reduced and therefore in motion, the risk are used by the key of redeem a scan in for the photo and regrets their loss of life low. therefore, they have only one choice to escape from you. come forces during the special

milledgeville operation will continue regardless of their location on the territory, will be great. meanwhile, the russian defense ministry was in foreign mercenaries left in ukraine, $16.00 of the total number, the ministry spokespersons said to have use as the soldiers of fortune 1st and foremost to attack well for doherty. meanwhile, russian troops are training hearts for the front lines. are to steve, sweetie observes their preparations they say as snipers, jones alone, the one was spent in solitude, waiting for the right moment. it is a dangerous row requiring high levels of concentration, an accuracy. but they are essential for russia, ukraine conflict. the sniper is a separate unit, for example, one sniper can do more than a company of soldiers, because a sniper goes out both at night and during the day it can work in an order of magnitude more people in a day. then the company, the main characteristics number must have is call. they should really go situation

takes place, it means that they have already been spotted, and something bad could happen. the sniper should work round the clock regardless of the weather. it's a completely different for now. everything is different from what did you study. lightweight equipment is essential to enable snipers to hold deposition for hours with emissions often last thing up to 4 days. and then until the dispute attached to silencer from a company based out of earl, its weight is around 2 kilos to 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 last year joined the defense of the homeland to the age of just 18 worship. i'm a medic, but i've also been trained as this night, but since i was 17. every day we quoted made the work of artillery and all the snipers from dr. surface. together we do tasks that are more or less

straightforward with all the will started in 2014. when i was 13, i watched a lot of other snipers was pasted on the internet, and 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 because hello 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 while working as a team or years through the square. hey, one location is the snipers are practising. hey, around this open field. as 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 yet square public. for the latest developments from the conflict and to our website, you'll find more on the cab counter offensive efforts,

tales of life as a mercenary, and how moscow's responding to the growing challenges. whatever the story r t dot com has, the relations between russia and neighboring china have been steadily rising despite pressure from western powers. that's the message from the russian upper chamber of parliament's chair women. after talks in beijing was chinese leaders shooting pain. who has also patience of the chinese russian relations show a favorable trend for full fledged stable development were steadily promot cooperation in all areas strengthening the social and civil basis of our friendship. they keep take away the ration with russia and preserve the friendship that exists between our nations. china embodies the strong and friendly shoulder rush. i can rely on the head of the russian delegation here valentina, my bianca has been hard at work here in beijing on sunday with the chinese

president. she's english, both sides agreed to continue their long standing strategic partnership based on mutual respect, mutual cooperation and mutual gain as 2 of the very few countries left in the worlds that are truly solver and according to what might be and co set. now, she also called, she's in pain, a very wise leader who's dedicated to a lot of the same things that russia is dedicated to actually as well in terms of, of course, the domestic affairs of independent countries and again, dedication to the sovereignty of one's own country. russia, russia, chinese cooperate obligation not only said is good now, but he's also looking towards a very bright new future as well. i mean, one of the short term, at least indications of that is the fact that trade volume between china and russia is set to exceed $200000000000.00 worth before the end of the year. so that's a big milestone. and other than that might be and also i met with the head of china

is national people's congress today. and she also saw the museum of the chinese come, relics of government, important. so according to the chinese government, it's a very high profile museum. so this was really a very high profile visit that's going to continue for another several days. and it actually comes not too long after a number of visits by us officials here to china and there which were attempts to sort of revive relations between the united states. it's in china, which have been at a low that hasn't been seen in decades as a result of disagreements connected to a security. and of course, over taiwan. for example, nancy pelosi is visited taiwanda, the chinese government in light, very much one of these high profile visits by us policy, by us officials that i mentioned was a recent visit by the us finance secretary, janet yelling, who actually said that the chinese side was uh, pretty uh, worried about talks of potentially decoupling the chinese economy from the american

economy. but she said that there was some sort of difference between the coupling and what she explained as the risking. although the specifics we did not exactly here, there was another high profile visit from us secretary of state anthony, blinking a little bit before yelman's visit, which also yielded very few results. but it is noteworthy to say that joe biden called seizing paying very controversially a dictator, not too long after that meeting came to its conclusion. so the contradiction between these american visits to china and the russian visits a visit to china that we're seeing now, which is looking very, very productive in comparison. it just goes to show that there's a lot of opportunity for russia in china to deepen the strategic partnership. it's already very wide and in many sectors of both economies in the country. the approval by the u. n's atomic energy watchdog of japan's plan to release previously

contaminated water from the fact that she, my nuclear plant into the sea has been met with uproar from a number of south korean and peas. and they've been making their feelings clear to the agencies had i you got the gen, i would like to say that 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, but we're next, it is gross, is how i'm very concerned that director gross said in the media interview yesterday, that he would drink the contaminated water or swimming it. if mr. grossi is assured that the focus she made 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. the empties argued that the international atomic energy agency report overlooks the long term environmental

and health impacts of the waste water release and such a bad example to other countries. despite concern from both the public and opposition figures, the government in sol has back to you and bodies reports claiming its own analysis had found they'll be, quote, no meaningful impact on its waters. however, the i a had russell, rosie said that it's understandable that people are apprehensive about the plan. the visit of the atomic watch subs chief was met with angry demonstrations as he arrived himself, korea from japan, with protest rallies health throughout the weekend. chance from the proud to be heard inside the hole where their meeting was being held. protesters say they are extremely concerned about the risk pose to the health of the nations, people and for generations to come. the. i think the i a e a record is a trick. does it show some of the juice embassy for japan spoke

a shame of both a plan from ven guaranteeing any scientific objectivity. so i cannot believe the objectivity of the i. e report on this issue. voicemail williams upon me and this is a matter of conscience and a 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 all 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 for i'm so angry in the future, the food that comes from the sea that we're going to eat, the water vapor, the cries from the sea and comes down as rain. well eventually hallmark. oh, and the worry about that is more than 80 percent of the south korean suppose discharging the nuclear contaminated water from focus man to the see, the one sided attitudes 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 produce china

as foreign ministry criticize the plan last week and threatened option if it was to go ahead. the country already has a ban on food imports from 10 japanese regions following the superhuman nuclear meltdown back in 2011. hong kong now says it's considering stopping c food and agricultural products from quote, high risk regions in japan coming in as well. we spoke to the dean of the management school at japan's university of to go go, well, believe the claims of the south korean opposition aren't backed by science. the fact of the matter is the truth to 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 a $157.00 care bechtel worth of trinity him every year in any country with any

nuclear generate or do cell is true. so if they're so concerned about it, why aren't they picketing in front of french embassy, which gives out $1500.00 tear bechtel per annum, saying that the government is putting good relations 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 was there 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 nuclear milstein within just over a decade ago, inside create that 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 lose opposition and peas are, are one thing to take a safe approach to this because they don't know when it's going to be like in 50, a 100 years time, a fine, then let me ask you a question that it will be a problem of focus shima 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. the people in india have been love seen read over the humble tomato prices have skyrocketed by a whopping 500 percent following a recent crowd failure in some regions, prices of hit almost 2 and a half dollars per kilo, surpassing the cost of petrol by some distance. heavy rains in storing temperatures in the country have hit output badly along with some farmers also reporting crop

light. we heard from locals to say the price hikes hitting them deep in their pockets, and even rotten tomatoes are unavoidable. now the telephone on a small food stove is becoming tough for me. do this installation. these price hikes are heat in my pocket. so by like a lot of it is going to balance. those were easy to purchase, but now the price is searched.
