so it's called direct impact, but again, it's not, we don't want to watch it because it might just change the way inside the headlines stories this, our nate so consider is putting it significant are, are still in a state of combat readiness. so i think that's read from russia las go labels to move that further escalation of pensions is really prime minister does all his war cabinet itself direct key coalition member called it quits account of protesters. the mom, the government resigned an opposition party slump. benjamin netanyahu. this feller, nothing remained. there will be no square named doctor. no schools, there will be no fountain of benjamin. nothing. yeah. it's difficult to describe the emotion, anticipation of, and often every good kid found balance,

the russian army advances for the front line park called for region role operators from the checks the bottom battalion continued that they have crucial role in the push or corresponding watches. the unit in action, the across the globe or run the clock. this is r t international. let's get to our top story at 9 pm in the russian capital number is preparing to embark on a 2 day state visit to north korea. the russian president is expected to arrive in p on young on tuesday, and it will be his 1st trip to the east asian country since the year 2000 north korean leader kim john extended the invitation last year during his visit to russia's far east. mister booth will then head to hon. noise the invitation of the vietnamese general secretary, where he's expected to spend 2 days officials from both countries. we'll also meet

to discuss the deep link trade, scientific, and cultural ties. i mean, while again, still sandburg has coal for late chosen nature, weapons to be come about ready. the block street said it's new through our arsenal was being bolstered because of i suppose, a growing threat from russia and china, your side kremlin spokes person. dmitri pest golf responded to those remarks what mr. stolt and byrne said, clearly does not fit into the context of the same declaration that was adopted on the eve, which was not signed by off. where to if i am not mistaken, it outlines the end admissibility of such rhetoric. this is nothing but another escalation of tension. the seriousness of stolen beg statement should really be dismissed all down, play this better because language is a very clear threat to what he sees is now you tell these folks, he said the member states are we told to deploy more nuclear weapons. that means taking the amount of storage, i'm placing them on stand by. he's cited

a grubbing friend from both russia and it's showing that he describes nato as a new field alliance, which kind of undermines its claims to be in alliance for pays. but he didn't throw you into the exact details of nato's new commission. i won't go into operational details about how many nuclear warhead should be operational and we should be storage, but we need to consult on these issues. that's exactly what we're doing. the u. s. is more than nice and they're gravity bonds for the nuclear warheads they have in europe and european allies and more than ice on the plains which are going to be dedicated to nato's nuclear emission stone. somebody praised uh the 32 member states of nato full that contribution to the detachment he singled out the netherlands for investigating fine to just capable of hosting us nuclear warheads, went on to defend plans to trump prove minutes the i to ukraine. of course, there's an election the presidential election on the way that and he says that if trump is successful, then becomes the next president again, that the i to you,

kind of the weapons fight to ukraine will simply at dry up. it really is concerning . concerning all this rhetoric and, and there's increasing reports because of all this, suggesting that the world is now in a new nuclear arms race. can you give us some more details? yes, of course. this is incredibly alone being the still comb, international piece of research institute as it relates to report on monday, which says that the 9 nucleus sites. this is the not to states russia, the united kingdom fonts, china. india practiced on the democratic people's republic of korea and as well have all started modernizing the nuclear weapons programs. they're saying that the number of operational warheads, this is those that can be deployed and can be used against other countries. as in fact, increased, they said, according to the report that the global inventory stands around, or just over 12000 warheads in january 2024. while the global total of

nuclear warheads continues to full is cold war era wetlands, a gradually dismantled progressively, we continued to see year on year increases and the number of operational needs a little heads. we're now in one of the most dangerous periods in human history. on seeing you to campaign is have boons. that's a nuclear arms race is underway. cit pretty has said that they've not seen nuclear weapons play such a prominent role in international relations since the cold war. now, the 9 nuclear states that we mentioned earlier have spent a whopping 91000000000 on then nuclear. all those in 2023. that's according to a you report from the international campaign to abolish nuclear weapons. but the large majority of that spending as being by the united states. so steve was real effect, given all of this, do these international treaties that are put in place to prevent this kind of situation? what effect do they actually have? well, that's a very good question, and i'm somewhat say that those treaties are,

in fact limited. that is the international trade. see the new can nonproliferation treaty, which is supposed to bind the expansion of nuclear weapons in countries to a signature used to it. but the, the 19 percent of the was type $22.00 more heads are owned by the united states and russian. and a number of treaties did exist between those 2 countries, but they have since collapsed. um, washington has quite what really very recently cigna would shift from simply modernizing its nuclear capacity to expanding it, or nato has labeled russia as a security threat, which keep hearing this from nato and his 8 will countries. what is moscow? his position when it comes to nuclear weapons and their use, well, russia has perhaps understandably said that a certain number of other countries are increasingly concerned with this expansion of nuclear weapons on the washington strategy for expanding its new capacity as well. now. so as i said that this, the escalating rhetoric the threat,

same towards russia and china is particularly alarming, but must go insist that it's not in the one. that is how we got the cyber rocketing with illinois emanating from washington on the west. now, speaking this in petersburg, international economic form, recently, russian president vladimir pretty soon said that he was clear that russia was watching developments closely. but it wasn't the country that started the dangerous rhetoric on that. it has a clear new, clear, don't say yes. and then when it comes to nuclear escalation, we never started this rhetoric, we simply said it shouldn't be taken more seriously. and they immediately started talking about us brandishing nuclear weapons. he said to me, we are not to me, but yeah, so 1st thing separately, the use and non use of such weapons. so you mean the russia has a nuclear doctrine and everything is written that they use as possible in an exceptional case. in the event of a threat to the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the country going, i do not believe that such a case has arisen with visiting. but this doctrine is a living instrument. but then we are closely watching what is happening in the

world and around east west, on the west of media, continue to blame russia for the escalations, particularly when it comes to the problem. but most going says that it has no plans to use nuclear weapons against its neighbor, but the escalates reactions of the united states and nato. mean the most go may be forced to over to it's new to don't to another. but headline stories is really prime minister benjamin netanyahu has dissolve the countries war cabinet following the resignation of former defense minister and rifle. ben against ortiz, middle east correspondent reinforcement takes off the story, a prime minister, and antonia who has dismantled the 6 member work cabinets early on monday. it has been officially confirmed to r t. but technically speaking, the word cabinet stopped existing after the departure of the chairman of the national unity policy by the guns hand to support the eyes and coat 10 days ago.

that's withdrawal. ready then indicated serious disagreements within his really liter shape had now displayed just became public and more office of course guns criticized phoebe's approach to the war in guys, and then claimed the lives of more than 37000 palestinians. according to guys, a health ministry, and hundreds of these really military but didn't make they announce goals of the operation. come true. guns plans and it's in the house police again and hesitation accused prime minister of not having a clear strategy regarding guys of war. and so cold the day after whole, so guns was not happy with it. and yet it was way of dealing with a hostage play. you remember 120 people still remaining contributing guys for more than 250 died. guns vowed to do the right thing at any political cost and to back america. post houses do proposal currency on the table while the 10. yeah, never. it clearly signaled any official support for the plan presented almost 3

weeks ago. guns came seager of as well as opposition, also understood very clearly is really public growing discontent and cold for elections to meet people's demands. voice that unprecedented number of mess, the bank to government, protest all across these. well, the basically became a weekly or we alley changed the last 8 months since the idea of started molding garza. nathan, yeah, one to guns to stay primarily, understandably, to have the support all the vast parts of his rarely society following guns. this is the time for unity now division must remain united among ourselves in the face of the great tasks before us, i call and ben against the not to leave the emergency government don't give up and unity. well nathan, yeah. who knew that guns was considering that withdrawal has earlier in may, former defense minister had issued an ultimatum and turned it on yahoo! demanding to present and agreed upon the station 4 guys as opposed for governance by june 8th as into the whole failed guns slapped. the thoughts isn't fortunately,

let me know who prevents us from the rest of the week. the only reason she will justifies that painful an ongoing price. okay, now that is why we are leaving the worst time cabinet like to assure a real victory. it is spinning that in the fall of the year of the disaster, we go to elections results. and these stablish means for government that when faced in overcome challenges, scott, i'm calling the national to re, to an election day. i meant to not let our people be turned to part while it is important to understand that the guns is now far from left out of political discussions of the country, strategic decisions. when americans secretary of state, visited israel again, just recently he met separate the 10. yeah. and then any guns who at that time was known, it's part of the war cabinets already. and now the us special envoy is a nice role to discuss the situation in the countries north time is really current crisis with his spa. he's also expected to meet the guns. what will happen to the 10? yeah, without support of guns and his people will earlier and now there are crucial

opposition leader he age le pete says that the days open to 10, yahoo politician are numbered accusing prime minister acting in his own and not national interest. yes. so let me say no, no, nothing will remain of him. there will be no square named after him. that's no schools. there will be no function of benjamin netanyahu. leave our lives already. go go off to the withdrawal of to crucial members. they turn yeah, home actually had a choice to invite other political figures to join the war cabinet. national security administer band. we are requested to be part of it. finance minister smotts, which as well both as you know are over the stream, right. use we strongly and to palestinian position both calling for more gas and bombardment. but it's really acts for the media now saying that they were the reason why be chose to dissolve the cabinets. he didn't want to be associated with the hawkish and controversial elements of his government. given the rise and

internal dissatisfaction again into government, protests continued bringing together thousands of israelis as well as criticism from israel's foreign partners, especially washington. the work cabinet tours established 5 days after his were launched. it's operation guys, and we're supposed to have lost his deadly attack on southern israel and october. now the cabinet is no longer active between here that's prime minister will still continue holding consultations with its former members like his role as national advisor, administer of strategic affairs, and also force defense minister. but again, it shows dramatic lack of unity and will definitely mean even more pressure on finding us there. and from yeah, from just more reaction paula city and activists and commented are you of her 5, we believe. prime minister netanyahu is under the control of hard minor, still the spiked the line and the place on the work. or what it is clearly is it's

a government is very much this good. the good and bad st. john's a go actually went out of the government because it was difficult. they said nothing that actually changes or gone back to s new old dog owners. and they ask you to become clear and clear that varies idea only cannot make any type of victoria day and as long as they've actually gone through and all of them know to be filed at the federal government, actually let them know has no oxygen for the sea and those thought the g to just onto the on 0 and then he is on the right side. here's the captain at in his own government, in the hands of the explained provider to reinvent the smoke punch. but he want, you don't want to show it to 0. i don't know how to use cavities,

disease explanation. so he there are, well, you know, do not do i go to the side to one stairs to 0, but it doesn't change anything because any way he, his cognitive, by the psych assignments because they have the kids or his government, they can't be solved as a government romeros, i even went that was a long, comprehensive, over all of that. all right? you didn't dare to do any decision, resolves information, no a. so label piece summit on ukraine was hosted by switch you into over the weekend, where talks focus primarily on presidents and landscape proposed formula for ending the conflict. however, his palms took some water of a done with only $78.00 of the $92.00 states and attended signing the events final declaration, a rock. jordan, by the way, were 1st included in the list of those agreeing with the communication,

but then were renewed signaling their discontent with the documents, summaries that left 14 countries mostly from the global side, including brazil, india, and saudi failing to box the closing statement. well, let's take a look at what was actually in the communicate at the end of 2 days of pulse in research. it calls for the resolution of disputes through peaceful means, yet just to point out, at the same time, washington approve more than $1500000000.00 in military aid to key if the declaration also 6 direct involvement on dialogue between all parties. though russia wasn't even invited, here's what induce in foster to rush. i have to say about the event. can all of you on the those options acceptable to both parties can lead to a binding piece? in line with this approach, we have decided to avoid association with the joint communicate or any other

document emerging from the summit. they didn't need to hold this conference in order to make any fresh initiative, which would be acceptable to the international community. the whole purpose was to get on board of the global major global south countries, which is why and the sweet spot. i'm going to start out doing the uh, the, the, the thought of minutes of you can travel to india and did everything possible to, to make sure that we attended. so we do the big, the, the real magic set back. that these countries having attended the conference in good faith and, and expecting that the final communicate would be much more better and would take into consideration some of the basic needs of the situation, which is that any east ripple village would be acceptable to both sites. they simply cannot be initiated by one side and presented to the other side. that's

something you have to accept, which is the reason why an india said study very clearly. and it said one that we cannot be a party to the joint communicate mean, well, a ukrainian politician has taken to social media to point out the russian moments to advance the negotiation process without even being present to despite the siege budgets invested in convincing us of the success of the swedes photo summit. this is a failure. first of all, because from the 1st sports of the speakers, they need to involve the russian federation. in the peace process sounded what turn the peaceful summit into what did we do? it was a meeting of friends to discuss what is already being discussed in turn the russian federation, without even attending this meeting and shoot recognition of the uncontested status of the negotiations, which is also present and then no tomato will us president 5 will choose to opt out of the summit, attending a campaign fundraiser in hollywood instead, he appeared to yet another lapse throughout the event and was pulled off stage by

one of his predecessors for rock obama. a wide high spokes person called the video footage of cheap fake framing. the american leader was just taking in the crowds applause back in switzerland. we discussed the talks with veteran journalist john calculate you did attend the p summit. he told us that some delegates express fatigued over yet another ukraine centric event on other countries in for us are being done. i was able to interact with a good number of the delegations that different levels and also interact with some of the journalists covering the event and from the delegation perspective. uh you can raise you there or i think overall the most for this kind of place looking at the performance either of the statements that they read over the 2 days basically were written in advance. and there were no changing of minds. and delegations basically said that, you know, i've been waiting for,

we know we're not gonna change any minds. this is an event. it's a spectacle, it's to, it's designed to show solidarity in unit indemnity, etc. lensky. but there was also vice president, a, an exhaustion part of it, which is probably menu. how much of this do we have to continue to go through? and every meetings, g 7, g, 20, nato, un general assembly, which all zalinski ukraine. so lensky, ukraine, and there is a 15, and that's, i think there's one more that describes what i heard most from delegations is their tires. and also there is a resentment that the russia, ukraine more is absorbing so much oxygen when they have issues with respect to their own countries that they feel are being pushed downward on the

list or ignored because of the rush or you create more just to point out our countries at the summit when nearly unanimous in rejecting the final declaration with only cats are agreeing to sign on addiction, political science academic my ged buttress told us the nations who refused to sign were challenging the west on balanced approach. and their attempts to dominate the dialog, and most of the other countries are developing countries. so it goes to them saying that they are required to be credible for the surge russia's pockets of globe. and so towards a balance international relations in politics and see as sustainable development the, the, to kevin, to the balance western dominance over the economy and politics

of the glue. one of the pillars and principles of any international negotiations is to have the 2 parties there should be actively involved in extensive negotiations. but when you do not invite the other party in the conflict and have a dresser, that's 4 you can do for the voting. don't change anymore in the community. so what do you expect? russia has withdrawn from a dispute south the u. n. a shouldn't con, so over the militia airlines flight mh 17 tragedy. the passenger plane, with shelf don overdone, boss during the ukrainian civil war in july 2014 of 298 people on board, lost their lives must go safe, the case brought against russia by a stray alia. i'm the netherlands of the introduction of civil aviation

organization is biased on on for a v i. c i o consul refuse to conduct and independent investigation of incident under the auspices of the i c a o. and the console now has on his desk. one of the results of a skewed investigation update by one of the potters through the proceedings. in such circumstances, it is impossible to speak of an unbiased establishment of the facts, let alone affect judgment. the console is not the right place to search for the truth. it makes no sense for us to remain at bought of a spectacle that is being played all about a decade ago, key as military was cracking done on the done yet, the people's republic that voted to secede from ukraine. following the my done. despite the civil war, key of failed to close the countries there, a space for international airliners, flight them age 17 on route from amsterdam to call and per what shopped on over don't boss with a surface to where a miss saw. key of on the west were quick to blame, done yet,

forces as well as russia, even before the plains smouldering, wreckage could be inspected. moscow insisted that he was responsible for allowing a passenger plane to fly over his own whether you printing and military was on the offensive. now in 2018, the so called joint investigation team set off by the dutch concluded that m 817 was shot done by a russian made a book missed so operated by the don't boss motion. however, the russian m. o. d said the soviets era rocket had been permanently stationed in ukraine since 1986. i could only have been fired by the ads forces. i asked independent duster list. sonya funding in de whether a western institution can be expected to carry. i don't biased pro into the trust. it was clear from the beginning when the playing was shut down. that's a straight away rush. i was to blame without the instigation that time. so later they did some investigation without russia. so it's a clear case,

and also when i was was in 2019 that was a documentary made of coal for justice. it was called people. in the documentary, they actually went to the place in the duma to see and have a new also they spoke with many residents who yeah, yeah, they told price a different story than the original version from the court from digit team. so yeah, i mean it's, it's, it's maps, it's a one sided case. it was quite clear, this is the whole process that it was to show process because, you know, the perpetrators to imagine perpetrators. they weren't up there. nobody. well, only a few from the media were allowed to enter. the law school said that all of its input into the case has been ignored by the you, any of the ocean con. so it's, it's hard to make sense to stop because the length of this pro, you would think that trying to get to the bottom of things you would want all

possible information from all parties to this case. yes, of course. and also it was clear, there was some set the like images from the us and they were not given to the court straight away. i don't think they will ever give them, but maybe later wrong. so all these things, you know, and i'm russia was not allowed even to come to the cross side. can you give us a sense perhaps of, of the sort of jurisdiction it holes and what, what can i do with this case as well? i think not much because, you know, if the case is now nearly 10 years old, i think they're low. it's. yeah, it's, it's like for us or international they, it's not the russian who was involved, but they want to put it this way that the version it is now, while countries of the switch you in some, at the last weekend attempted to result you printing conflict without moscow,

russian army units continue to carry out their offensive in the heart calls region . their drone operators, split, frushell rhodes, and provide vital support for combat units involved in the fighting arctic are responding to eager sit down and watch them up close. we are on the very border between russia and ukraine's heart of region. these are the positions of russian who are the pilots, with the smart special forces. these guys pretty much the eyes for everyone here from tillery to the grants in the trenches, 3 lines, waiting in the wind, almost intention below you into the full sense of tranquillity. both russia and ukraine use fixed some of vegetation to conceal troops and equipment for the, for the lease position is a power line of construction in the middle of a field. was humans or on tennis, or transmit us on it. we have seen ukraine on the bus now here for most likely, for the last station on the concrete slab under the construction for the work here

begins with the fast brace of sun. a unit itself can be causing dro. now prices has no shortage of targets. the motives and how it has seized the opportunity of a surveillance drone in the sky and add their own beat to this deadly percussion up, up, up pretty low, low to beautiful. well, how could i see we? well, it's difficult to describe the really motion in anticipation of and off to every

good hit. this is where you realize that for the boys here, it's funny thing or the in the, the that i saw it and that they do put everything they've got into it. brings the victory closer, but the commander of this detachment to going under the cool sign, the haze tells me he trains his men to keep. keep in mind. there is always room for positive emotions which you feel when you get the job done well. the guys are happy when the drone or artillery hits the target for they see good cyber sean. the main thing is that these motions should not be allowed by blood. less than one should not lose one's self. the blood madness, you should feel like happiness for success in your job and you're not happiness for killing another ukrainian. we're just happy to hit the enemy. let's say i'm a motion should be controlled to see if we fail to do that. we're no better than a lot. and this mentorship seems to work feeds for the we can not behave like some creatures. well i am,

i won't call them animals as i don't want to offend, really go out it's. it will, even after all the people i've met with good things i've seen. sometimes you feel in, in human rage as a thing, wish to destroy your enemy with as much power as possible, correct? but deep inside you realize that they are human beings. after all of it, we get it and somehow you want to solve everything in a human way and reach pcc new. but if our enemy is being brainwashed with the idea that only subs simmons live in russia, so no. so this a must provide to must be destroyed because the despite all that, what you like, we should still act you mainly with the way the training and soldiers the opportunity to surrender the fight says hey, a balance on our raises page. there warriors full have refused to let blind rage and madness who changed their soul. i'm a goose done of reporting from the russia ukraine board to see from us nato rush attentions to netflix. 5th of a b ring. there's legal loads. it's a talk to the rafters direct in.
