i don't want any kind of rush any pressure, any, any financial, any last thoughts are low season. i re much be to mix up, you know, $680.00 members collect the, the headlines on off the international at the company or videos of vladimir putin. they meet with a leader of the fog know group and it's come on those just days off of their attempt. excuse me. we understand the russian president essentially discussing that faith washington, his decision to green light fluffed up munition ball means to keep stokes anger and a host of countries including russia, china, and come to the and also some of america as close as nato allies as well. china relations are rock, solid and cooperation between the 2 world only intensified by the message from the

russian parliament. try women off the tolts and in china with the press the, when it's a good to have you with us for this, i was program for most of from the entire news team here at the international headquarters. welcome to your new to the kremlin. has revealed that president putin did meet with the leadership of the wagner private ministry company, including his chief. you have got any pro goshen. 5 days after the attempted him newton, a last month the president had such a meeting, he invited $35.00 people to it's all the commanders of the group and its leadership, including pre george and himself commuting took place in the kremlin on june 29th. it lasted 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. 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 guinea pig guards in just 5 days after the attempt to 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 russia and that they're ready to fight for the motherland. none the less now, just a little bit of background on the mew, any of the attempted new in itself. last month, the wagner group has more on the way to the kremlin when thankfully, by thanks to ado, brokered by bella, russian president, alexander lucas, chunk of the rebellion failed. 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 wagner's

living africa is a sign of moscow purging the rule. 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 presence 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 bass oven or malls, or if it does not matter, we will take them. so it really seems like, despite the immunization of the 5 know group. yeah. or the russian presence in africa be advocates themselves seem to be very open to it. now the western media has also plans that there is chaos in russia, but we knew it looks like we have the russian president who seems to be very open to this. got 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 happened now. also, the russian president, as steven addresses to the nation previously after this rebellion and has also given 3 options to the commanders of the wagner group. he's or you go to the russia or you sign a contract with the ministry of defense. or you just go home, but it was off ease, my ease shot to speak me all day with my colleagues field l isabel. meanwhile, russia and china have slammed the us decision to send cluster munitions to ukraine . representatives from the country suggested washington's well disregard for the inevitable civilian deaths caused by the weapons constitutes a war crime. just as fuel to the fire, i have a list shown kind of a has the fact to confess. committing bull crime is by the united states during the crating complex. do you agree, stated that civilians would dine from american costs to type munitions and the

perverse of view of the white house employee. this brings less home, then rushes actions irresponsible transfers of cluster munitions can easily lead to humanitarian problems. relevant parties should not add fuel to the fire, exacerbate contradictions leading to an aggravation of the ukrainian crisis. we raised the issue of washington dispatching, cluster bombs, the ukraine with benjamin chow for the center of china. and globalization in the us now is the plan ukraine, but what the us call, just months ago, more crime weapons. so it would really be curious for us to hear what moral grounds of reasons washington would supply this time, especially so much of the previous us supply weapons. according to the black markets in ukraine. we must question how much caution to us. so he has asked you, going to pay attention to how effective it will be? we are seeing that the us is winning a lot of contracts to rebuild the infrastructure of ukraine. so i think

it is in the interest of some of the interest in the us or the west to see even more damage to be done in new pain so that they could get the contract to we have a new claim later on the southeast, asian nation of cambodia has also condemned washington's plan. it's 5 minutes to over cold, but definitely effects of the bottoms that rain down in the region during the night, and seventy's with repercussions still being. so today that has been use released that the united states will provide cost to bones to ukraine, to fly the russian army, cambodia as head of the soul and painful experience of these from the 1970s. when americans used cluster bombs, it has been more than half a century now. but we are still looking for ways to destroy them all cambodia, low and vietnam, were fine to buried in millions of these types of munitions. 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 5 minutes circle and sun, specifically sided with you cried at the beginning of the special military operation has been supporting ukraine all along. so you could say that russia and china big 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. they're estero 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 brett for years actually decades. that keeps the calm as you just

drive the cambodian, just one of the many countries that still suffers from unexploded munitions left behind from previous conflicts. the

origins cluster bomb decision they're coming to experienced before a nato. somebody picks off in the way near. however, the move has actually exposed cracks, and the otherwise unbroken alliance is a contributor, ritual mazda. 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 britain, if it's secured, it's breakfast, divorce from the u. then he was supposed to hang out with king charles, who's coordination? 5 and 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 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 as you 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 already 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 the 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 field for mores. the binder ministration itself

was against cluster munitions before they were for them, even qualifying their use as a war crime just last year for illegal cluster bombs and vacuum bombs being used by the russians. if that's true, what is the next step of this in ministration? is there a red line for how much violence will be tolerated against civilians in this manner that illegal? essentially it is, it would be, i don't have any confirmation of that. we have seen the reports. if, if the were 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 problems are necessary. so where the russians have been indiscriminate, they've been reckless in syria. they seem to have no difficulty

dropping cluster munitions around we're civilians may be meanwhile, ukrainian president, 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 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'm the president and supreme commander and i have clear responsibilities not to weaken the defense capabilities of demo jerry nomics know to go to see that remark set to wednesday off on a tantrum in which he accused russia of wanting to destroy 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 his full blessing. musical chairs in beijing is less than

24 hours off of the us treasury secretary food out of china. moscow flies in with a child with one of rushes off the chamber of parliament joining the chinese president for torques. the pad that issued a series of statements, 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 to keep take away, ease of china will continue to foster cooperation with russia and preserve the friendship that exist between our nations, china and bodies, the strong and friendly shoulder rush. i can rely on the head of the russian delegation here. uh volume tina, 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 and strategic partnerships 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 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, my monthly income also met with the head of china is 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 not too long after a number of visits by us officials here to china, if there, which were attempts to sort of revive relations between the united states and 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 risk. and 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. that's already very wide and in many sectors of both economies in the country. a bit more out of aging as china, issues of wanting to america and other foreign actors to stay out of the country's

domestic affairs. it comes out to us and void met with to bets spiritual data. 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. the us should take concrete actions to honor its commitment of acknowledging to bed as part of china stopped. middling and shyness internal affairs under the pretext of 2 bed related issues and offer no support to the anti china separate as activities of the dollar. a clique that's about has been an integral part of china for much of the past millennium, in any denial of its status as part of china, is considered interference in domestic affairs. according to china is constitution, no country and cardi recognizes the region as an independent state. the political analysts tend to show services while washington has been warned by others to stay clear of the issue. it's the us strategic competition with china, but it's driving washington's policies. you know that so you know, when the,

he was a source s k, sorry quote and quote, this concern about searching regency and assessing countries. usually people say you've got to be careful because that usually that's a so you can go in to be or is up into an okay, so finding a country, you know the right now, if you look at the maxwell, you know, side of the relationship, but the us is that using of the own words you do in a strategic competition with china. let's make it to, you know, clear to us doing everything possible to slow down with the development of china, all the channels. we use the innovation all the time, use the high tech industry, so as to maintain the global dominance. so as i mentioned, the us, the gemini, in order to achieve that goal, the us is not only surprising the chinese, uh, you know, companies, chinese developmental ways, the economic cost. and you know, basically coaching waste of the channels, the company and the us that blacklist,

they are also using basically all these useful saffo, taiwan, hong kong, seen yeah, knowledge of bad weaponized issues, a basic lineup. and then you go to 2. but at the time you say me to apply not all 7 types of development of china. that's, you know, i think the big picture, if people want a new understand badger about the us moves that they need to understand is the big picture that even us doing everything possible to slow down to keep trying to doubt that he's at the nature of this relationship right now, my dear is president, has been elected as the chairman for the economic community of west african states, otherwise known as the eco, was leading. the group of more than a dozen countries bo, to know both sides of regional security, is at the top of the edge. the wish is one and to

a slight chance that people have somebody that knows more back because seats like to listen to the dog and therefore, then i do and present a problem to take a top stones on political, a, people in west africa, all 3 countries in the region have undergoing cools in recent years of modeling guinea and putting a fast so the economic block that was cold on the military leadership in those countries to comply with deadlines of transferring power to civilian leaders. and the able to handle mount a political science professor and nigeria says the lions does play an important role in the region and nigeria contribution is pretty big. it's very important because the continent for seemed to me and i said before the audience, tasha nigeria as the on the power show that's more than $0.75

because it is supposed to be because the criteria is imagine yeah, it is obvious by measure and the budget to get a location of the cost useful. so showing that disproportionate, i imagine this is not the same that the inputs of not jr. viewed some benefit. no, no data is really at the expense of 40000 feet. with all the able to made by mega, mega corporations, one of these countries against the dictates of the french or the phone states of west africa suggest sending me on suggest nigeria such as guy now system going to be a known site. now julia, we had one corporation, we have our own examination for the 3 point that i was supposed to and i did asking for the region was midway, right? i've been to, to purchase order for it. but of troubling news coming out of the southern crushing

city of class, not as local authorities have confirmed a ministry officer named, astonish, love, ownership sky has been assassinated. the 42 year old officer was shot 4 times in the back during the morning jog. he previously served as a deputy head of the armies buckled mobilization department. he was also a full, i'm a submarine kumato he did take part in the ukraine conflict. his name earlier, a pay i don't know ukrainian so cold. peace, keep a hit list just like previously killed john list. diarrhea do gonna and flatland petoskey. the russian investigative committee is kindly looking into the incident to try the idea of the killer. it is a developing story. we'll keep you posted here on asi international. the meantime about moscow says of key recruited nearly 12000 foreign motion to raise during the conflict since 2022. the russian defense ministry says ukraine has used those soldiers as quote, come in for the a lot for you, for the games,

the backdrop, with the same idea of using other waves of mobilize zation, ukraine, and in order to high because it's dropping the losses of the personnel of the crane i'm tosses. the key of your dream has stepped up, its recruitment in asia. lots in america and the middle east. so a truck for the missionaries in total since $24.00 for february 20, 2211675 for the most. and the res have officially arrived in ukraine to participate in a still a dis on the ukrainian side. however, after the initial loss has suffered, the dynamics of their arrival was sharply reduced for emotion, the rest are used by the key if we deem a scan in florida. nobody from the ukraine in command regrets their loss of life. therefore, they have only one choice to escape from ukraine or die. the russian forces during the special milledgeville operation will continue to eliminate for than most and the res, regardless of their location on the territory of ukraine. while the rest of his

ministry started following heavy casualties, there are now roughly only 2004 in most, and there is less, that's just $16.00. the original number of industries as spokesperson said, key of use is the foreign fighters to attack to 45 russian positions. instead of having ukranian troops lead the way, he also said that evacuating the wounded foreigners was not until prior of this. meanwhile, the russian troops continued training for the training hard, i should say full. that of the front lines is all correspondent, steve sweeney. observing those preparation. they say a snipers joey's alone. the one was spent in solitude waiting for the right moment . it is a dangerous row, requiring high levels of concentration. an accuracy are, 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 a 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 overall, 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 the night for the men,

but 22 year old nest you had joined the defense of the homeland at the age of just 18. 0, shit. oh, 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 dr. surface together. we do tasks that are more or less straightforward with the double started in 2014. when i was 13, i watched a lot of other snipers was posted 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 i lost that 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 yes through the the hey,

one location is the snipers are practicing. hey, around will this open field? as you crying discounts offensive, exciting things may change quite rapidly, and the role of the sniper will become ever more important. this is steve sweeney for all t. in the don't yet, script public. you can see more reports from the states waiting on line to the r t dot com is where you can also catch off on all the updates and all about top stories as well. i'm one of us here. thanks for joining us. we all back soon with the time after time. so you're welcome back to going underground, broadcasting all around the world from do buying the you a tomorrow may mark the anniversary of the creation of not see aligned v she france . but it also is when lead is of the washington axis fighting russia through

ukraine, gathering the few ania to discuss the battle plans not only against moscow, but may jing as well. so how far will washington go? is your ups economies decline and taxes and running a thing? and the shadows of nuclear war doc and in length, and the retired lieutenant general of russia's armed forces. chairman of the executive council of the russian incentive, a policy studies you have given a bush in ski, joins me now from moscow. thank you so much. and in general, for coming on. so billions of dollars being bought in dues and then skis coffers. uh, what do you expect from this summit in vilnius tomorrow? well, uh, actually uh, i did not accept much. uh frankly, uh because uh well i understand basically patients of uh their landscape personally and ukraine in your claim that you came in.
