it goes without saying, nato is a very impressive military alliance who would have thought that at the core of its belief system was believing in unicorns the bike administration's decision to set a cluster bombs. ukraine demonstrates this. the, the, the kremlin reveals that president, met with the wagner groups commanders, including for goals in a few days after the attempt that you need to discuss their face with the washington decision to send widely bad cluster bombs. 6, you have not only anger's a hostile countries, including russia, china, and cam bodya, but also america's close nato allies. china is a strong, friendly shoulder for russia to rely on got some message from the russian parliament, chairwoman. after pops with president changing tank and beijing,

and saving and sole demonstrators and opposition figures make their clearly clear over japan's plan to release contaminated water from the superhuman nuclear power plant. into this is mr. gross. he is assured that the machine that contaminated water is safe enough, i would like to ask if he's willing to advise the government of japan, a water deprives country to use that water is drinking water the coming to from mazda. this is our t international with the latest and world news. i'm bureau le isabelle. happy to join us. we do start with breaking news here on our tea. the kremlin has revealed that president met with the leadership of the wagner private military company, including commander. you have getting pre logins 5 days after the attempted mutiny

last month. the president had such a meeting, he invited 35 people to it. all the commanders of the group and its leadership, including precaution himself. the meeting took place in the kremlin on june 29th. in less than almost 3 hours. the president gave an assessment of the groups actions on the front, as well as an assessment of the events of june 24th or so. as we heard from the press secretary himself, the russian president vladimir potent has met with the commander in chief of the wagner group. if guinea pig gordon just 5 days after the attempted new and you know, the president has also listened to the explanations of the commanders and has offered employment to them. the commanders express their point of views on the events and has said that they are loyal to rush right and that they're ready to fight for the motherland. none the less now, just a little bit of background on them. you any the attempted new in itself. last month, the wagner group has more on the way to the kremlin when, thankfully, by,

thanks to it. 0 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 saying that vag, nor living africa is a sign of moscow purging the roof. that clouds are hovering over wagner's operations in africa. but it's really interesting to see that the west has demonized any russian presence in africa really, but it really looks like africans themselves do open the russian presidents in their continents. as we see, the adviser to president of the central african republic has said that if it's not wagner anymore, they send a 1000 or more resorts. it does not matter. we will take them. so it really seems

like, despite the ministration of the wagner group, or the russian presence in africa, be advertise themselves. seems to be very open to it. now, the western media has also plans that there's payoffs 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 view as, as well, and to present their versions of the, of what happened now. also, the russian president, as you've been addressed as to the nation previously after this rebellion and has also given 3 options to the commanders of the wagner group. either you go to the russia or you sign a contract with the ministry of defense, or you just go home. that was our t as in lima, a char with updates for us. meanwhile, russia and china have slammed the us decision to send cluster bombs to crane. they

say the supply of those wildly band and indiscriminate weapons by washington constitutes a war crime. joan kind of a 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 and type munitions. and the perverse it view of the white house employee. this brings less home, then rushes actions irresponsible transfers of cluster munitions can easily lead to communitarian problems. relevant parties should not add fuel to the fire, exacerbate contradictions leading to an aggravation of the ukrainian crisis. the southeast asian nation of time. bodya has also condemned the us plans to send cluster munitions to cab, the prime minister hans and recall the deadly effects of americans use of such bonds in the region during the 1970s, with repercussions still being felt today. there's been news release that the

united states will provide cluster bombs to ukraine to fight the russian army. cambodians had its own painful experience of this from the 1970s when america use cluster bombs. but it's been more than half a century now, but we're still looking for ways to destroy the mold, cambodia, lo and vietnam war bank, it is buried in millions of these types of emissions. a lot of these munitions are still scattered across the territory and they kill people every single year in cambodia. i believe it's been about 20000 people killed since the end of the war from these unexploded ordnance. and what people need to remember is that cambodia and payment, historical incense, specifically cited with ukraine at the beginning of the special military operation, has been supporting ukraine all along. so you could say that russia and china being against 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, their, their design, their mit meant to be real,

boston survive under combat conditions because there's always going to be a certain percentage of them but failed to explode and they will persist in the environment the unexploded until disturbs because they're made out of modern materials. it's not as if they're going to bio di grade. and so they are a persistent threat for years actually, decades that capes become cambodia is just one of many countries still suffering from unexploded ordnance left behind us bombings. the

washington's decision to supply care of with cluster munitions coming just days before the nato summit. cakes often lithuania has also sparked the disapproval of alliance members. here's our t contributor, rachel marsden,

with details. it seemed 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 . reach you soon. ok, maybe try to keep deflecting any talk of that trade deal that the us promise breton if it's secured, it's for exit divorce from the u. then he was supposed to hang out with king charles, whose coordination? 5 in 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 by his visit was supposed to be a big chance for king charles to showcase his climate change projects and leverage biden's presence to move philanthropist. and investors seems pretty simple right.

what could possibly go wrong? well, how about the fact that right before the trip fighting 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, by an 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 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 is concerned about the humanitarian circumstance as anybody. 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 win 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 that means having a long shot at the feeding russell on the battlefield. sounds exactly like the kind of foresight that the pentagon has shown and pretty much every single one of its recent failed for and wars. the bargain ministration itself was against cluster munitions before they were for them. even qualifying their use as a war crime just last year, for some silly little 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 it 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 initial 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 were civilians may be but defined as allies. there 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 and 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'll be their mire sofa. nemo,

you premium present advisors. 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 fish 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 nomics. he'll go to see that remark, set zalinski off on the tantrum in which he accused russia wanting to destroy nato europe. the european union and bulgaria, maybe he should 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. 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 share. women after talks in beijing with chinese leaders shooting pig who has also hailed the friendship gene, the 2 nations. the chinese russian relations show a favorable trend for full fledged stables development were steadily promote cooperation in all areas, strengthening the social and civil basis of our friendship. the key take away is that china will continue to foster cooperation with russia and preserve the friendship that exist between our nation's 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 since the entire delegation arrived here in beijing on sunday evening. she said she actually just met with the chinese president. she's in paying and said the meeting went very well. both sides agreed to continue their long standing strategic partnership based on mutual respect, mutual cooperation,

and mutual game as 2 of the very few countries left in the worlds that are truly sovereign according to what might be and go said 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, preventing for an interference in the domestic affairs of independent countries. and again, dedication to the sovereignty of one's own country, russia, russia, chinese cooperation is something that the head of the russian delegation 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's national people's congress today. and she also saw the museum of the chinese communist party here,

which had many relics of government importance. according to the chinese government, it's a very high profile museum. so this was really, it's a very high profile visit that's going to continue for another several days. and it actually comes, uh, not too long after a number of visits by us officials here to china if that which were attempts to sort of revive relations between the united states and china, which had 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 visit to taiwan that 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 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 and china to deepen the strategic partnership. it's already very wide and in many sectors of both economies in the country. now, beijing warns that the us and other foreign actors have no right to interfere in chinese domestic affairs. and that's after a us envoy. he met with to that spiritual leader,

the dalai lama in india is capital. the tibet affairs are purely internal affairs of china and no extra nal forces have the right to interfere to us should take concrete actions to honor its commitment of acknowledging to bed as part of china. stop middling and sean, his internal affairs, under the pretext of 2 bed related issues and offer no support to the anti china, separate his activities of the dollar. a clique now for background to that has been an integral part of china for the larger part of the past millennium. it briefly gained independence for a few decades in the 20th century before once again coming under chinese rule in a peace agreement in 1951. currently, no country recognizes to but as an independent state, according to the chinese constitution, any denial of tibet status as a part of china is considered an active interference in china's domestic affairs.

less ross live to political analyst should go to a senior fellow at dependable institute. nice to see you, and i want to start off by asking you. this comes up the hills of treasury secretary genet y'all, and we just went to badging. now. what do you make of the american envoys meeting with the dalai lama should page in, consider it yet another probably cation, mid escalating tensions between the us and china. and that's a good question. uh, you know, the problem with the chevy side, it has mentioned in terms of the relationship with us that has the, that, you know, there are sometimes nice fox from the us side. you know, some of the senior officials from the present biden. but if you check the action, the action often speaks the louder than the words. the action often contradicts of what the headset about, the stabilizing the relationship, a whole respecting china and the action. often, what we have found is that,

you know, into via rings and chinese affairs, all you know is the price and the chinese development all for the crack down on the channels use the companies. so that's the, i think other counties, you know, really what the you, if you want to know that they get the heartfelt that solve them between time in the us is really by the us accidents weren't signed up rather than the referee. i don't think of the time you started with the site to slightly n bowls and you know, it will basically, you know, all that whatever has be the key. ok. we previous meeting this dance and jenny again is meeting county said leadership the 8 and i'll be going to say for all like, uh, i complete the rest of the way this way. they can use this at different magic stuff . so, you know, of course then also result through the in the us, the sort of the aggression basically pestering the chinese signed it for so called a lack of cooperation in terms of abuse in the us. so the us has not showing

up on that is good to a sincerity to cooperate with the china to resolve the difference is that to stabilize this impulse, no relationship between the 2 countries. that is a problem right now. we are facing not the lead time in the us bottles, you know, obviously globally and apart from the numerous examples that were listed during the program, tibet is not actually recognized as an independent nation by any country in the world. the dalai lama also recently set himself that to that is a part of china, and they have no interest in independence. so what is it us trying to achieve then, in meddling in these chinese domestic affairs, especially given their involvement in ukraine right now? well, of course, you know, we know that the, the, when does us the shows as concern and quote and quote, this concern about assessing regions and assessing countries. usually people who

say you've got to be careful because that usually that's a so you can go in to be always up into the air is up under the country. you know, the right now, if you look at the maxwell, you know, side of the relationship, but the us is the, at using the own words, you know, in a strategic competition with china. let's make it to, you know, clear how do you so us doing everything possible to slow down to the development of china. all they can be is the innovation of the chinese, a high tech industry, so as to maintain the global dominance. so as mentioned to us, the gemini, in order to achieve that goal, the us is not only surprising the counties that, you know, companies, chinese, developmental ways of the economic course. and, you know, basically putting waste out the channel, the company as the us up blacklist. they are also using basically audio salt, sample, taiwan, hong kong, seen. yeah. now to bat, went to nice and easy. it was

a case of china. and then you go to the budget, tanya image of china, or sometimes it's a bottom and up china. that's, you know, i think the big picture, if people want them you understand batch are about to be us moves that they need to understand is a big picture that even us, we ever seem possible to slow down to keep trying it down that he's at the nature of physical reasons, it's windows through a political analyst and senior fellow at the pango institution. thank you. thank you for having the approval by the u. n's atomic energy watchdog of japan's plan to release previously contaminated water from this because she, my nuclear plant into the sea has been met with an uproar from a number of south korean and peas. they've been making their feelings clear to the agencies, had you got the gen, i would like to say that i a, 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 cross 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 is drinking water, or industrial, or agricultural water. instead of discharging it into the sea level ones, yeah. and pays argue 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 the u. n. bodies report, claiming its own analysis had found they'll be, quote, no meaningful impact on its waters. however, the i a, a,

had russell grossi did say that it's understandable that people are apprehensive about the plan to the visit of the atomic watch. dogs chief was met with angry demonstrations as he arrived in south korea from japan, with protest rallies held throughout the weekend. chance from the crowds could be heard inside the hall where their meeting was being held. protesters say they are extremely concerned about the risk posed to the health of the nations, people and for the generations to come down with a i think b, i a e, a report is a trick, does it show some of the jets 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 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 this rain. well eventually hallmark. oh and the worry about that repeated i, is it more than 80 percent of the south korean suppose discharging the nuclear contaminated water from for be see 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 to china as foreign ministry, criticize the plan last week and threaten option if it was to go ahead. the country already has a ban on food imports from 10 japanese regions following the focus. she my nuclear meltdown back in 2011 hong kong now says it's considering stopping c foods and agricultural products from quote,

high risk regions in japan coming in as well. we spoke to the date of the management school at japan's university. a few delta believes 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, treating to, to him, you know, per annum over 30 years. whereas, for example, korea who is making a big claim about this gives out $157.00 care bechtel worth of trinity. me every year in any country with any nuclear generate or do cell is treated 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 claim 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 males done 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 lose opposition and peas are, are wanting 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 that's are up for now. but coming up a retired, the russian lieutenant general discusses ukraine's nato bid promotions. rebellion and why he thinks ukraine's battlefield stance looks dire next on going underground . thanks for watching the ghost without saying nature was a very aggressive military alliance. who would have thought that at the core of its belief system was believing in you.
