stronger invaders the american hard times where a waiting vietnam again, the headlines on off the international china block. so visit by a senior just needs government official, committed outrage of a tough chose release of waste water from the devastated food pushing the nuclear power plant. that is, as i'm, the roles of boils throughout pacific nation is over this group. while the world bank states russia is judy pay raises the head of european giant germany. and from the use foreign policy chief desperately try to convince commits the public the 12, assigning sions against russia was also in the program 2 years off at a tele bonds website. the powered off chemist on following the us withdrawal. we get an exclusive interview with a spokesman for the customer to a sense of the country spilled faces. enormous charlotte,

the what a very good morning to you from the entire policy. international news to me, it's just off the 8 o'clock on monday morning here in a very sunday, most of a kicking off the top story. now that's ruffling a lot of feathers these days have looked at this as a china. it has now told a senior figure from japan's coalition government not to visit the country. i thought that's how it began releasing into the sea. treated wastewater from the crippled and fuko shima nuclear power plant. during his trip, the official was expected to meet with the chinese presidents and even pass on a message from the japanese prime minister. pacific nations addressed furious with japan's position, saying the spread of a tainted water could potentially impact the old coastal nations. tokyo assist fits, move a safe, but the controversial decision has spot nice protested both at home and abroad. a

south korea, fiji japan. they old sold demonstrations over the weekend. with south korea, protests was gathered, taunting, save the pacific, and waving dinos saying, the sea is not japan's rubbish. been while in the island nation of fiji crowds demanded tokyo, immediately stop releasing the waste water. hundreds of demonstrators would be making the feelings were pretty clear in japan as well. they all say the move is simply too risky, couldn't move up. it only conducted tests on the amount of tritium, but other radioactive substances are also dumped into the ocean. we're really worried, we firmly opposed the discharge of nuclear contaminated waste water into the sea and the man to stop to it immediately. we will never forgive the japanese government for breaking this commitment to the people i think discharging the nuclear pollutant wastewater not only betrays the japanese people, but also goes against the international community. we buy from fishing boats, so we know them well, many of them have fished for generations. the ocean is their livelihood. how would

the survive if the ocean is polluted to kansas, which careers? what will they even do? i'd be too scared to eat sea food in the future. we'll have to wait for a few years to see if the fish will mutate. i'm here to feast myself and my children before it's too late. all this time i took care size. the waste water has been distilled to remove the most pop, say governments of, of aging certainly remains unconvinced. saying japan is posing a major risk to the entire global marine environment a hi, when social e 5. okay, got the japanese government to unilaterally forcibly and launch the discharge of fruit machine on the queer, contaminated will attain to the sea, which is extremely selfish and irresponsible in this resolved of international public interest. the chinese side suddenly opposes and strongly condenses pounds, moving costs unpredictable. damage and home to the global marine environments and the, the, the aggregate, the safety risks of japan's food,

agricultural and water products. as i go to say, yeah, we are aware that the chinese government has just announced a total suspension of the bits of japanese marine products. earlier, we made a request to the chinese side through diplomatic channels to seek immediate evolution. will strongly encourage the chinese government to ensure that the effects of ocean discharges are discussed and one aspects based on scientific evidence. just a very quick reminder here on the program almost uh 20000 people died following. i know it's the week and the subsequent to 90, which will came back in 2011, which then really severely damaged the fukushima nuclear power plant japan funds to release more than 30000 tons of wastewater from that plant into the pacific by mazda of next year. a 70 percent of that water is believe to contain low levels of radioactive materials including tritium, which can increase ken's risk since humans. however, there's only limited research into the other chemicals that are contained in that

water. well, china has now suspended improvements of seafood from japan, saying it's ready to take quote, all the necessary measures to safeguard the marine environment and public health. the kind of buying of see sold at certain beijing and recent days with authorities having to reassure citizens. there's plenty and no need to hold the controversy of the japanese any job tapco which is responsible for the plan is being taught, talking to the media and taking it on to is to show the water expensive process of aging based policy expert at the ty, hey, institute, i know time good now he said his view about the risks. japan's decision poses to the regions environment. people are very concerned that the big issue here is not what we know. they keep talking about trends you. yes, that's an issue. the world is being diluted with it, but there are 7 other radioactive isotopes that they're not talking about. and there's not a lot of studies about what their effect is. the dream itself,

you know, they, can they keep saying, well, it's released by many other nuclear plants. but the issue there is that, that doesn't mean it's ok. but what's happened is you've seen an increase in the amount of turns him the in the water. but there's, there's are also other things they have not really tested the storage tanks for what's in them. and they've admitted that they've only tested 3 percent of a water. so they're not exactly certain what's there and given their credibility gap and they're desired to minimize everything. it's really hard for anyone to believe them. the while t european officials are increasingly making the mountain of sanctions piled on a russia simply on or working. it does seem, however, they use for in policy achieve simply did not get that message. and then you article joseph burrell a hits back of those daring to doubt the effectiveness of western sanctions against the russian federation. ought to contribute to rachel mazda and i take on this. so

the unions chief diplomat, yoseph burrell must be getting pretty tired of hearing european leaders talking smack about how you sanctions against russia have turned out to be a big slot. because in a new blog post featured on the blocks website, burrell argues otherwise, within the sanctions authority limited most coast political and economic options, causing financial strain. cutting the country from key markets, increasing the cost of trading and significantly degrading russia's industrial capacity projects much. it's more like europe's industrial capacity that's become degraded with russia now surpassing germany, the u. k. and france, and g d, p, adjusted for the varying costs of goods and services between the different countries. so purchasing power parity. now that's all according to the world bank. earlier this month, by this measure, russia now ranks in the world behind china,

the us, india and japan. and it's europe's political and economic options that would become quote, limited having traded chief russian gas for greater dependence on more pricey american energy, even german foreign minister. and the lena bear bach just said a few days ago that the sanctions weren't working on russia for explanation. the sanctions just don't work on a top receives, well guess that means the west to just stick to sectioning only democracy then the on gary and form is are also just through cold water on browse conclusions, the heavy official right. the policy of sanctions has failed. and the question is, what about the politicians who are in favor of it? the common sense here is for them to count their losses as someone has to accept responsibility for the actions. the whole world is laughing at the policy of european sanctions. you know, also intruding on morales anti russian fantasies is the rise of the brakes and its impact on countering western efforts to dictate the isolation of any particular

economy, such as russia is particularly in the wake of 6 new resorts, rich economies being invited to join. it's ranks show for the past from the 1st break summit are sharing the global economy has been increasing. and now we have already surpassed the g 7 by diversifying our economies and currencies. we promote cooperation between developing countries. we cannot accept a new form of colonialism that imposes 3 barriers and discriminative measures. we're all set in this blog post that the root cause of all of this drama is russian regression. apparently when the west is throwing punches, whether through sanctions or it's arming and trading of anti rush in neo nazis and ukraine, not accepting to just take it on the chin now, constitutes an act of aggression. so apparently does walking away from the black sea green deal when only russia was expected to hold up its end of the bargain.

russian president vladimir putin set the record straight on that at last week's brick summit to you and you're giving me when he and the international economic situation is being seriously affected by the illegitimate sanctions. and the legal, freezing of assets of sovereign states, russia is and will remain a responsible supplier of food to africa. russian green exports to africa amounted to 11500000 tons in 2022. and that is despite the unlawful sanctions imposed on us, that seriously complicate logistics and hinder the export of russian food products . latest attempt to put a positive spin on european sanctions now goes beyond attempting to gas like russia . and now effectively also puts him at odds with the observations and reasoning of his very own western foreign affairs colleagues from the blocks own member states

who also have apparently come to the conclusion that sanctions just don't work. as a scanner, sons' taliban government has firmly rejected a un security council report which says tara groups such as isis have access to millions of dollars worth of weapons left behind. off of the us pulled out of i've done this done in a statement, a spokesman slammed the report as unfounded islamic and the rate of gayness. then once again rejects these bases, talk to sanctions. and while calling for transparent involvement in such a fuse stage, that in the last 2 years of gas security forces have conducted hundreds of continuous operations against illegal weapons and isis as a result. weapons, and i'm a nation were captured and i was just operational capabilities were destroyed. and so when the us i pulled as far as from i scanned us down in 2021 and actually left

behind around what $7000000000.00 worth of military equipment, including weapons and even ahmed vehicles. it's not about and seeds most of that. but some stuff balls apparently ended up in the hands of different militant groups present in the region. and we bought an exclusive interview with a tele bad representative. who said that the us occupation hotels to the country and now the spread of arms is just one of the consequences. there are many aspects which the world can see for itself. during the american presence here, the african peoples individual gimme, you know, physical, mental, political, economic, social, spiritual, and religious life was completely spoiled. in fact, a serious loss was inflicted on the nation. half guns were never safe in their homes or living in the strangest house. the f gotten economy was completely linked to the americans interests. americans and the allies were in full control of ask on politics, chaos in the center,

differences among tribes and crumbling administrative units. all this was leading to disintegration. afghanistan was at the brink of dissolution and split into multiple pieces. but thanks to anna off to the kind of band. okay. but everything reversed the evil left and it's highly significant for us that we liberated the country. that day we were free from braves house, such as bodies, such as prisons, detentions, and confinement, all of it. in the past, our economy was linked to the foreigners interest. now it's to our interest. there is complete peace at home and a bad impression of war. 2 and a half against office is changed into a good one and the cost of a multiple governments in different parts of the country today that is one strong united and central government, thinkable, having no match, and wells capitals. americans worked well with us for 2 decades and then we had no option but to retreat and leave today that has still, as he continues, is based on money. nothing new in that they were losing all money during the 20 years of occupation. they have phrased enough freedom, freezing on assets. well,

that was not unexpected. from what we do with that money is a question to be answered at the time when we receive it, and the way that we keep it abroad or bring it back to utilize it. we will decide about that later i believe ice is, is a distraction problem to the west to blind, the kind of fight system is law and the purpose is to use ices, 30 tricks to present and portray hostile. the image of is loved to damage, dominates unity and consensus among muslims. the goal is that people in the west will become suspicious and mistrustful about as long as the kind of on the government believes. and even all scholars are basically dividing that all of those are against the islamic system, have chemist on the rebels, no matter what name they have. because is why make enter it is unified, is i'm again where it is trusted by old. regarding the isis issue, these advocates were active in the era of the prophet muhammad. so we will never compromise on our system of government at any cost,

any armed revolt against ours. lemme government is considered unlawful and to fight against these rebels is a sacred will, which we will lead to a logical end or assess difficult. we have 2 completely different societies, one is asked and the other is west and if they have some basic right, say we don't consider them basic rights. for example, they have absolute freedom that we don't believe in an unconditional free hand. let me ask a question to those who are raising the issue of women rights, went around 100 of them. women were being sold at each day in this country. they raised their voice for them. they ask that women were not safe, that children would not secure. they were deprived of all the rights. why didn't they raise the voice for goes, this is in justice, the west should stop it, support present. the, the right is that a lot of us down here in the russian capital, it certainly seems that, well, perhaps washington is

a little bit unsure of its own risk reg, when it comes to business with china. the commerce secretary gina ry mondo is currently on a 4 day trip to beijing talking about quote, healthy competition. that's a shop change of direction from last month when it was all about quote, direct, sun strategic competition. i wanted to be clear with you around what my goal is for the visit, which is to promote a healthy competition. and by that i mean the competition on a level playing field. there's a lot of benefit to doing business with china, where we can, having said that, we have to protect what we must and be eyes wide open about the threats and strategic competition. however, now the by the ministration is taking steps to make it seem like it's trying to improve ties and it's relationship with china. open out to watch these rates, show blevins, she's been digging deep just days before raimondo laughed surveys yang. the

commerce department's bureau of industry is security announced the removal of $27.00 chinese entities from us and verified letters which restricts access to exports from the us, the vitamin ministries. it also confirmed it is seeking a 6 month extension to the 1979 science and technology agreement i had of it's august 27th. does not. the landmark deal was 1st made with washington invasion, normalize diplomatic ties more than 40 years ago. and it has been extended every 5 years ever since. the fact that the us is only asking for 6 months this time, will no doubt send a message to china as a spokesperson from the state department confirmed these shots to um, 6 month extension will keep the agreements. and for us, why we seek a for a te, tell him to take negotiations to advance and strengthen the terms of the science and technology agreements. it does not come to the united states, so long go to an extension. but while the vitamin ministration may be taking a few small steps to make it look like it is trying to improve ties with china,

now that doesn't undo the new side of export controls put in place by the commerce department. last october, which band chinese companies from buying advanced chips and ship making equipment without an approved license. those rules were just the latest space and the ongoing us tech we're on china. and as is often the case, the us didn't just impose these rules for its company and also threatened it's almost into submission. what countries like japan and another, let's joining it. but some experts argue that washington's policies will end up hurting the us in the long term. the more do us sanctions, china, the heart of china, will try to make rapid technological progress. china will provide more national support for the goal. done. it will pose a crisis to south korea, given china as a bundled talent and go materials. china has not stated silent and last month staging and post review export controls of its own on gallium. in germanium else, 2 raw materials that are critical to the ship making industry. and just so happened

that china is the world's largest producer of gallium and one of the top producers of germanium. and in 2021, the us relied on china for more than half of it supply of both of those raw materials. but as by that i assume no significant signs of backing down or pursuing peace. and the us flood check for the new ones, criticized trump, for it leaves the world with countless questions about the future of innovation and how it seems to be impacted by the current bottle between the world's 2 largest economy. all right, taking this conversation for the malware crossing live to nelson and wong barriers, the vice chairman of the shanghai center of a room, pac on chapman and managing director of the global business investment consultants . the 8 see and world wide nelson is great to see. thanks so much for joining us here on the program on the, on the international. what, what a business uh store. uh, you know, i don't know if it's the case of bipolar disorder or just mood swings. on the one hand, you've got the us call my secretary visiting china, trying to smooth over trade relations. and then on the other hand,

you bought the by the administration taking steps, for example, to block the exports of sensitive us technology. and you also know about the anti china rhetoric coming out of washington just about every week. i mean, how would you, i mean, i'm having a tough time here in nelson. how would you assess washington's current approach to beijing? or i think the, the, the us government as a, as demonstrating its confusion, its own confusion and the change. but keep changing of its rhetoric towards handling its relations with china is a, you know, is a best approve already. so this scheduled week long visit talk, a little mold is kind of expected following the previous visit to china, of other senior white house officials. and yes, the range of topics to be touched. couple on and discuss the ways of chinese counterpart. not at the back dropped above now. 27 chinese companies

already being removed from the sanction list and the cooperation agreement. paul science and technology development extended for another 6 months as of yesterday. but overall, these shows that the 2 countries economies are interwoven into dependent. and so the coupling between the 2 countries is not a realistic option. the white house has already declared on many occasions in recent models that it does not seek to change chide. but my question is, why there are always people in the u. s. thinks that they could change china in the 1st place. if there is anything that that is better to reach any status, bob's the era goodness of some us politicians, let's do believe they could dominate a manipulate the world we're living today right now. so long as it started their

conversation, it requires more time to we have available on this already monday morning. here in moscow and nelson walker, the vice chairman of the shanghai center for rim pack this. and thank you very much for joining us now. i will speak to you again soon. thank you very much. thank you . us john with the evan ghost adventures launched an appeal against an extension until the end of november of his pre trial detention here in moscow. he's accused of quite tearing out espionage espionage. i should say in the interest of the united states, cool scotia, which is a, a us citizen, a wall street journal reporter as well. he was arrested in march in rushers or catherine book and faces spied charges who can go up to 20 years in prison. rushes f as to be security service claims. he was trying to obtain state secrets and us diplomats refused to come in. when asked if washington is planning some kind of present us what? what is the position on the charges against gifts coach easiest considering the change in the team for someone, the medically embassy from work, so no appointment,

no problem. meanwhile poll wieland isn't other us citizens, so having time and a high security prison and since 2020, he was convicted of spying on moscow for washington. and yet the white house has really shown very little interest in winning his release. well, what explain why. as a go to stein off, now takes a very close look at this of the inmates of this maximum security prison on no ordinary hooligans. these rules laced with bob why secure a very different breed of criminals, big, short drug dealers, murderous rapists. to end up here, a person would have to take more than just one wrong to and in life. for the past couple of years, they spent it tenchi, hidden in the embrace of we fit can remote russian woodland, has been the home of pull, willing a former us marine who was found guilty of espionage here in russia and sentenced

to 16. he is behind bars will pull struggles to hide his excitement as he sees l silman crew. eventually he waves the cameraman over and arcs to film him together with the deputy warden. but the moment i approach pool with the microphone, his attitude takes a 180 degrees, his vocabulary strings to 800 full words. so you understand when i say that i can't do an interview with trees, i can't answer any question. well, just a moment sort of interview, i think that's just a problem. so if you're asking the question, well, just in any way, if you don't only ask the questions that could receive you just don't it'd be fine

with that. no, i can't do an interview. this is the let's of consent. he had written on sunday before, i'll visit the green to be filled and answering a few questions. but a few days later, a british embassy staff are paid, pull a visit, since he's also a citizen of the crown officer that he appears to have had a change of heart. generally speaking, pull routinely house. diplomats, here's the us ambassador to russia visiting the penitentiary. it's almost as if the western diplomatic cool doesn't want him to speak his mind in an interview to see an outlet. they've been trying to god for years, some save as no place in the world where you can find a more innocent man. then in prison, in that sense, pool is certainly no exception, consistently claiming innocence saying, the real story is how he done nothing wrong. the court though back to define and

while most of the evidence in his case is classified due to being a state secret, some bits and pieces haven't received through to the public. like the fact that paul was quotes in the acts of passing on classified information. and here is seen in the picture with another convicted spy, this time a russian nation. last december, the bite and administration found itself in hot water to offer exchanging russian business man, victor boot for drug smuggling basketball player, brittany griner. as many fell cheap, just cut the line in front of the pool for no good reason. pride in white house defending its decision to swap the merchant of death for a w n. b, a basketball player star. i think the by the ministration got played on this one, some merge of death versus don't hesitate pipes. so this, there's no equilibrium here. it just is a 8 an objective way that trade. it's to put it a and what is a stupid or,

and us mockery from the world. so by any measure, it was a very costly prisoner swap. certainly from paul wales perspective. it was your. so what is the message we're sending to the people serving in our military, this russian inmate shares the same book with pool? and he was back when the former marine found out that no man left behind her. and she doesn't apply to him or ask them as not to know when he heard the news. he was extremely upset because he thought that he would be changed. he wanted it. he cursed a lot. he was really mad. he didn't expect as a basketball player would be changed instead of him, he already said that he was going to leave. maybe someone had come perhaps to console as i told him that he was already preparing to be in america soon. he was sure of it. he already felt free, but so far nothing's happening. even though he still waiting in a phone interview with cnn pool, once again, express tortious confidence is that the bite in administration is working on this.

what a sentiment his own family doesn't seem to share, given that to us, had already thrown him onto the bus. when i spoke to him today, he seemed much more up lifted and confident that the he had been made a priority at the bottom, the registration was working to get him home. he's not only less helpful, but i think really concerned that he may be going back through a process that has happened a number of times now where an american is brought home because some concessions u. s. government makes but paul doesn't come home. pool is not the only american citizen serving a sentence in this prison. 2 of these fellow countrymen sleep on the bring the bunks yet neither the media nor the us embassy give them even a fraction of the attention pool gets perhaps because they were not convicted on espionage charges like him in private conversations with me. they don't sound too hopeful about the chances of ever being swapped. and once more things um, looking bright for pool this time around,

back in march rushes security services detained. another american wall street journal report to evan gosh, co, which again on espionage charges. lately there's been much buzz in the media and among us officials about swapping or even extradite seeing him. meaning he could potentially be bumped to the top of the exchange line for poll, who still clinging to home by a thin thread. that would mean his country abandoning him behind buzz all over again. i guess, done up reporting from adobe a r. c. it was foss starting into a busy monday here at, out to the international headquarters in moscow. looks like the work weeks of to a running start back in about 20 minutes with more of your needs. hope you can join us. the american voters are rarely interested in for policy during election cycles. but a said the issue between maybe the exception this time around, particularly among t o p voters, much of the republican base us our

w brain policy. they see it is by the time action or time and welcome back to going underground, broadcasting all around the world. it's 2 years since the longest about war and us history ended with the cycle inside of escape of fleeing us troops from afghanistan . today, the us as involved in a war and your report according to us and european officials in the new york times . ukraine has too many soldiers in the wrong places, with hundreds of thousands dead under biden's political opponents. judging negotiations, what's next? nature senior mentor for logistics lieutenant general. ben hodges was.
