they planned to sign a military agreement, materialize agreements, today the russian-north korean ones a powerful military bundle, i remember january 24 of this year, when north korea successfully tested a strategic solid-fuel booster rocket with a multiple hypersonic warhead, this is the latest cutting-edge technology plus 1,200 and so on further, the north korean army means that there is a deterrent factor and a powerful protective factor. the third point, china, of course, many experts in the west write. experts that china is indignant, china is irritated, nothing like that, not irritated at all. putin and kim did not improvise, in may, i think that the korean part of sidinpin, putin was in some sense agreed upon, defined, and this triangle, sidinpin, putin, kim, it works, somewhere china is not so obvious, but this is a whole system of agreement, this is not improvisation at all, this was all in may, of course, the korean agenda was also pro-tumgan, by the way. russia and china signed, yes, right... that we are against vetoing against tightening, but the way out of this mechanism

korean peninsula. it was signed at the height of summit diplomacy in 2018 on the alignment visit to north korea by the full most south korean president. we lived together for 5000 years and have been super easy to stephen's. i propose today it's completely in the 17 year a still, it's not intrinsically done to the, the 2 sides promised to de escalate tensions on next jed folder by limiting military activity close to it. but as north korea resumed its missile tests, south korea has responded which shows, of course, and the release of hundreds of trash failed balloons by the north. in the past week marks up the decline. 6 is on with relations, having steadily deteriorated. it seems the balloon launches were too much for south korea, but in reality, the into korean military agreement was virtually defunct. in any case, north korea had resumed tillery drills close to the boulder and put back in place. god post, and land mines in violation of the agreement. almost all i'm in 90 percent of minutes or we're month already been violated, so adjusted. does the keeping it in place? does not mean anything. and sou

the north korean regime did not back down.ge balloons this sunday after the south resumed operation of its loudspeakers. in a statement, north korean leader kimyo jung's sister said more retaliatory measures would follow if south korea continued to send. anti-blood leaflets and stage provocations using loudspeakers. she added that sending the north korean balls were supposed to end last saturday. khim stated that their regime sent about 7.5 tons of garbage in 140 balloons over the past weekend. experts do not expect the psychological warfare to end soon. we are distracted by the war in ukraine. the gas war, china's efforts to influence taiwan. tension on the korean peninsula. is also growing, sergei genevich, a kind of escalation, also an escalation, yes, well, developing this topic, against the background, by the way, of a very correct statement you gave in the eyeliner, by the hungarian prime minister orban, that indeed, mer is a centimeter away from direct confrontation, that the west is trying to defeat russia, as if by se

south korean has condemned a defense pack that north korea assigned with a with rush up earlier this week. the foreign ministry called it a threat to peace and stability on the korean peninsula, the sole self and russians ambassador to the foreign ministry to discuss its concerns. while the details of the military practice still unclear himself co yeah, is worried that input encourage north korean aggression. so announced in response that it was considering sending weapons to ukraine to support its defense against russia. earlier i spoke to dr. john new, some right from the center for geo politics. at cambridge university, our austin, how sole is interpreting that morning by vladimir putin who said, supporting ukraine would be a very big mistake. but i say what the russian leader is trying to say is that if the, the south koreans will minded to provide the best time legal support to ukraine, i suppose, in the phones, bonds, munitions, to enhance ukraine's ability to resist the russian impression that would be seen as a red line from the russian perspective and, and one of the sick, re

it is notjust actions of the north koreans. it is not just the actions of the north koreans.. it is notjust the military acts we should be worried about but think about the balloons they've been sending to south korea, hundreds of balloons, as well as seeing how effective those balloons can go, how far they can go, and potentially how north korea can escalate tensions across the south. ., korea can escalate tensions across the south. . . , , the south. that was my next question reall , how the south. that was my next question really, how would _ the south. that was my next question really, how would you _ the south. that was my next question really, how would you characterise - really, how would you characterise the relationship between the north and the south now? and as you say, just in the last few days, we saw vladimir putin and mr kim with that grand visit in pyongyang?— grand visit in pyongyang? korean relations have _ grand visit in pyongyang? korean relations have been _ grand visit in pyongyang? korean relations have been brimming - grand visit in pyongyang? korean|

as emphasizes the human rights of the north korean people. the north strands of course, don't accept those, they see this as an out front of their sovereignty. and more importantly, in front of the political control, the cambridge game exercises in the corner. and so to retaliate and kind of they have chosen this rather unsavory me sending their own balloons filled with fell across the demarcation line that in turn or says now love the south koreans to redeploy loudspeakers. and so this code continues spiraling between the 2 curious, did you say unsavory um, some of these balloons we understand were filled with human aspects, kermit and i assume that this is not by chance. um, is this for a psychological warfare technical psychological warfare? i mean, it's just the regime giving a psychological middle finger to south korea it also. so i think that's pretty much right. i think i think the goal of this is to communicate to this after reading people that the unit ministrations, policies are what have led to this moment. i think the north korea's

russian-north korean relations, the first of them, today many experts spoke about the labor force, yesn joining the game of imposing sanctions against north korea, this game began in 2006 after a nuclear test in korea, and itself supported a series of sanctions measures against north korea in the seventeenth year , two security resolutions were adopted at once, which... first limited the ability of north korea to have its contract workers abroad , and then completely banned, and the russian federation, starting in the seventeenth year, began, implementing this security council resolution, to squeeze north korean workers out of russia. according to andrey lankov, a russian expert, the nadir in russia was 3,100 korean contract workers, then the pandemic hit. this one has decreased, now, according to zhelanikov’s estimates, there are about 60 thousand of them, which is understandable, does not correspond in any way to our history, about 160.00 ethnic koreans live in russia, they are a very important part of our economy, our politics, our culture, it is clear that in order to attract korea

visits, but i didn’t see such invective, because from the airport to the city center, russian and north koreang literally every 10 m, portraits of vladimir putin hang, and different portraits, but on each written: north korea warmly welcomes friend, comrade. vladimir vladimirovich putin. indeed, a lot of attention is paid here to this visit. russia is an ally, it is a partner of north korea. we know that we are here together with the president has arrived, will arrive. more precisely, we expect an impressive delegation to arrive, this is the minister of foreign affairs, and the minister of defense, and the first deputy prime minister and sectoral vice-premiers and ministers, there will also be several governors who will fly here, this is, of course, the governor, the governor of primorye, the region , which borders north korea, in general, it is obvious that they will talk about the full range of cooperation, from defense to cross-border and tourism, because there will be people here... who they will also discuss the development of the railway network , north korea is opening up to russia, we

the north korean military immediately moved north. after our warning broadcasts and warning shots, we believe that they did not intend to invade. but despite the reassuring woods relations between the 2, korea's r at the lowest and use tensions up in ratcheting up in recent weeks of the po and yang sent hundreds of rubbish. filled balloons across the border, as many of the balloons was said to be filled with ex comments. that in turn led the south to restart, broadcasting, propaganda, and cape off across the border. reinstalling racks of speakers pointing towards the north. now, sol accuse is beyond yang of rebuilding its own. loud speak is near the demilitarized zone speak instead of previously being removed degree is have a long history of blasting each other with propaganda. the use of massive stacks of speak is goes back more than half a century a deal, so both sides agreed to stop using them in 2018. their effectiveness has recently been questioned and many see the re introduction as largely symbolic balloons purchased as in the

we can see that it resembles, resembles the north korean regime of the kims, which is not changes ince of one dying ancestor comes. his son and i think that putin already has this model in his head, and he has to show this closeness directly. you can't do it over the phone, you can't do it on an armored train in vladivostok. but with his visit he shows what the political system in russia will be like. in parallel with this , they are currently discussing whether this agreement, returning to the military component, means that north korean servicemen can appear in ukraine, this cannot be rule out, although i don't think the agreement is a prerequisite to prevent the north koreans from being brought in, they didn't bring fingers, they brought africans, a lot of them, so the north koreans could appear, i guess. i understand that at the state level there are material and other components that are agreed upon, on the one hand, and on the other hand, it is still such an adventurous trick, you understand, to find yourself between the russians and the ukrainians, you have to at least to under

is aecipe for north -- it is a recipe for north korean intervention and for north korea to make itselfile at the same time testing how responsive the south korean government is going to be. just this past month we have seen three instances where north korean soldiers crossed the border. the first two occasions the south korean government dismissed them as accidents. i don't think there accidents if they happen three times in one month. we need to be upfront about what happening, we need to be realistic about how we are going to respond. rajini: thank you so much, dr. soo kim, for taking us through those latest issues around north and south korea. now let's turn to the u.k. election and the leader of the reform u.k. party, nigel farage has said at the west provoked russia' invasion of ukraines by expanding the european union and to military alliance eastwards. he was speaking in a wide-ranging interview with my colleague nick robertson. >> when vladimir putin since his troops across the border in 2022, you blame the west. i will read it to you and yo can react. "it was a consequence of

plus another important point: in fact, north korean workers work on a rotational basis, their importxport is under full control. have already stated that they will return to the issue of arms supplies to ukraine, what, in principle, can be expected from siul and the allies as an answer? the united states, of course, is increasing its pressure, since the government has long been asked to reconsider its policy on the ukrainian issue, and the main argument is precisely this: it has been proven, in quotes, that... on the ukrainian issue, putin has again made a formidable face, and here there is likely to be a challenge ambassadors, or their envoy will unofficially, at least the visit may not be advertised, come to us, or vice versa, as was the case with rudenko’s visit, that is, siul will first try to finally clarify the situation for himself, and then make a decision. because if the red line is really crossed, and siul loses the very specific status of the most friendly of unfriendly countries, which, from my point of view, neither moscow nor siul particularly wants, as far as i have ha

the north korean plot occupied a special place in... yes, that is, the ban on everything - we haven’the russian track yet, but in general we are moving in this direction, but there is one very significant difference: sanctions against russia are restrictions that based solely on the actions of individual western states, but sanctions against north korea are, after all, unilateral, western ones coexist with the regime of sanctions of the un security council, with the regime of restrictive measures of the un security council. and to legitimize their unilateral actions, the americans, the eu members, and others very actively refer to security council resolutions and say: well , look, we generally implement the security council resolutions, but where we consider them insufficient, we supplement them with our own norms. this is a very important difference. by the way, the americans acted in a similar way against iran. sanctions have existed in one way or another throughout human history. but they recently became the main lever of pressure in the nineties: the new individual leader undertoo

model of the system to russia, someone will say: well, it is impossible, where are the north koreanswhere is the east, and where is russia, but judge for yourself, the totalitarian system, they are already the same. in the sense of its totalitarian essence with certain caveats, of course, because russia still left a free state, and north korea has never lived in such a state. they've had the kim dynasty rule totalitarian communist north korea for 80 years, but we're already seeing trends. putin is assembling his dynastic system. we have already talked about it more than once. since the inauguration of his next term, the so-called term, of course, no one has elected him. he is building a dynastic total. system, he is already involving relatives, just a few days ago he appointed his niece, the daughter of a second cousin brother, a certain tsevilova, the wife of minister tsivilov, former governor kusbasa, who originally from st. petersburg, made him deputy minister of defense, and before that dmitry patrushev was made vice prime minister, and before that, at the same time, his son yury

someone will say: well, it is impossible, where is the north... koreans, where is the east, and where is russia. but judge themselves. totalitarian system, they are already the same. in the sense of its totalitarian essence , with certain caveats, of course, because russia still came out of a free state, north korea has never lived in such a state. the kim dynasty has ruled totalitarian communist north korea for 80 years. but we are already seeing trends. putin is assembling his dynastic system. we have already talked about this more than once, from may to... his next term, the so-called term, of course, no one elected him, he is building a dynastic totalitarian system, he is already involving relatives, just the other day he appointed his niece. he made his cousin's daughter, a certain tsevilova, the wife of minister tsivilov, the former governor of kusbasa, who is originally from st. petersburg, deputy minister of defense, and before that, dmitry patrushev was made vice prime minister, and before that, at the same time, his son yury kovalchuk was made h

, they brought nepalese, africans were brought, many of them, so the north koreans could appearparently, i understand that at the state level there are also material and other components that are agreed upon, this is on the one hand, and on the other hand, this after all, such a prank is adventurous, you see, to find yourself between russians and ukrainians you need to at least understand the language, the mentality, i very much doubt that young people, and most likely it will be north korean military personnel... young enough that they will be able to understand how behave in this war between the slavs, that is, i think that the decline there will be catastrophic, because we realize that the north korean army, with all the audacious power that the north korean propaganda itself portrays, but it is generally a very unmodern backward army in hats-in-shanks. but on the other hand, you see, mark, how generously putin began to give away what was once called. doctrine of the soviet general secretaries, including andropov, that is, he let the people's republic of china go somewhere in

north koreans know that. kimjong—il and north korea. north koreans know that. and has always that. kimjong—iland has always been trained to reduce the north korean reliance on china so i think from the chinese perspective, the whole situation is little bit tricky and they will be watching this carefully to see how things unfold —— kimjong—un. to the us now and president joe biden has announced a new policy that would protect hundreds of thousands of undocumented husbands and wives of us citizens from deportation. the white house believes more than half a million spouses will benefit. the policy applies to those who have been in the country for at least 10 years and it will allow them to work in the us legally. the white house also believes the new spouses policy will benefit 50,000 people under 21 who have a parent married to a us citizen. the issue of immigration has proven to be a bit of a headache for mr biden, who recently issued a sweeping executive action to curb record migrant arrivals at the us—mexico border. polls show that the issue is a primary conce

because we know north korean ballistic missiles are still being used to hit ukrainian targets, but because be some reciprocity here that could affect security on the korean peninsula. we have not seen the parameters of that come to fruition but we will be watching that very closely. let's speak to professor paul moorcraft, author & commentator on military, strategy, security and intelligence issues in russia and north korea. we just to the national security spokes man john we just to the national security spokes manjohn kirby talking about watching events very closely. what exactly is the us and is south korea going to be paying attention to? there are two aspects to this visit one is symbolic, largely symbolic one is very practical, weapons. the symbolic aspect is these are the two most isolated countries in the world. in terms of sanctions. so president putin is a very proud man, he was left out of conference at the as a leader of a major european state but he has become isolated, remember he can't travel to many places, indicted as a war criminal by the international criminal court, so

moscow receives a steady supply of north korean munitions and ballistic missiles. eturn, north korea needs help with space technology, as well as food, fuel, and foreign currency. our diplomatic correspondent paul adams sent this report. vladimir putin's first trip to pyongyang in almost a quarter of a century — a measure of this relationship's growing importance. a warm welcome from the north korean leader, two men shunned by much of the world, united in defiance of the west, each bearing a shopping list, their embrace a source of deep anxiety in washington. deepening cooperation between russia and the dprk is a trend which should be of great concern to anyone interested in maintaining peace and stability in the korean peninsula, upholding the global non—proliferation regime, abiding by the un security council resolutions and supporting the people of ukraine as they defend their freedom and independence. for vladimir putin, it's all about the war in ukraine. the russian economy may already be on a war footing, but mr putin needs every artillery shell and rocket he

least because, well, as far as i remember, when in the summer of 2022 there are talks about the north koreanagainst foreign russians seemed to have quieted down, but then there was a story that the north korean labor force was used by the occupiers even in mariupol, as far as i remember, that is, for military construction, that is, in principle , some trade vectors. between the two dictators, there may be, accordingly, these expeditionary corps may be the development of this story, but here we still need to understand something, even if we take the experience of the previous history with north korean shells, then... when there to deliver even one million it took two or three months, so we can see the real effect of what these two dictators have agreed on, we can also see it only after two or three months, that is, closer to the fall, in the case of north korea, many people somehow unfairly begin to say soviet weapons in the sense old, well, because no matter how strange it may sound now, the first point: our ideas about the degree of isolation of north korea from the world for the last 40 ye

we've seen a north korean troops across briefly over into the, into the d, m z. which of course has led to participate response from the task readings. that doesn't seem to be a deliberate publication. reflects this effort by the north koreans to both of the around security on the land border. there is always the risk. the conflict might escalade through miscalculation and misperception, not just on land, but in the west sea. the circle of northern limits line, the box of maritime battery between the 2 careers that has long beam problems there in that area. and i think it's in lights of these new agreements and the move bellicose language coming out of bodies must go and killing young. the solar eclipse allies are increasingly concerned dr. john nielsen. wright, associate professor for east asian studies at cambridge university. thank you very much. pressure of the age and a half months of war and gaza. israel still says it plans to destroy homos, but in an interview with israel's channel. 13 broadcast of the spokesman of these rarely ami re add merrill daniel ha

north korean tv has firmly set the mood for this high—profile visit.al music conjuring the sort of patriotic fervour audiences in pyongyang are used to. and video screens making the agenda abundantly clear. these are two men under pressure, keen to demonstrate they still have allies and options and to show the west that, for all its sanctions and condemnation, this is a mutually beneficial relationship. for more on the significance of the visit, here's our correspondent in seoul, shaimaa khalil. this trip is significant not just because it is vladimir putin �*s first trip in more than 20 years but i think it is also seen as yet another grand gesture between those two pariah states. it is seen as a sign of appreciation by vladimir putin in a way obliging to the invitation by kimjong un obliging to the invitation by kim jong un and also appreciating kimjong un appreciating kim jong un unwavering appreciating kimjong un unwavering support for russia's war in ukraine since the beginning. the russian president has arrived quite late but has a very busy day

we can see that it resembles, resembles the north korean regime of the kims, which does not change. dying ancestor is replaced by his son. and i think that putin already has this model in his head, and he has to show this closeness directly. you can't do it over the phone, you can't to do on an armored train in vladivostok, but with his visit he shows what the political system in russia will be, in parallel with this, they are currently discussing whether , returning to the military component, north korean servicemen may appear in ukraine as a result of this agreement , it can't be ruled out, although i don't think the agreement is a prerequisite to prevent north koreans from being brought in, they were bringing in nepalese, they were bringing in africans, a lot of people, so the north koreans could come, i guess i understand , which is at the state level this has both material and... other components that are agreed upon, on the one hand, and on the other hand, it is still such an adventurous prank, you understand, to find yourself between russians and ukrainians, you must at least

the tanker, it’s called, don’t tell me about the tanker, but tell me better for the abkhazian north koreanipeline, a very small pipeline, rent it, of course those? korea, it is even more widespread, diplomatically speaking, then in principle, vladimir vladimirovich’s visit, it shows that we have become easier to relate to the monocentric system of the modern world, which we constantly emphasized, because sanctions the security council introduced measures against korea, there have been about 10 resolutions since 2006 on a very clear basis, yes, this was the first nuclear test, so we signed accordingly. the non-proliferation treaty, well, that’s why they introduced it, it was the last working thing, in my opinion korea is subject to the most severe sanctions, although now i doubt that here we are, we are ladies. we most likely, but until recently korea was subject to the most severe sanctions, and until recently the pace of development of the korean people's democratic republic was significantly exceeded the pace of development of south korea, and this is what i want to say, because at first

territory of north korea in order to, let's say, produce. weapons there, use relatively cheap labor, north korean, yes, and some, by the way, for that matter russian propagandists there dreamed that north korea would already take and send part of the troops to ukraine to fight for russia, well, i won’t ask that, because it’s such a pretty, pretty ridiculous assumption, but still, regarding weapons, regarding possible production capacity, is such an option possible? well, they supply weapons and maybe they create some joint enterprises, it is possible, but well, i personally do not believe very much in the effectiveness of such cooperation, and the maximum that korea can give is north korea - it is what it produces in large quantities, and therefore any joint venture there, any production, new production, it... takes a lot of time, even the transfer of technology, well, north korea has a sufficiently large, sufficiently large range of weapons, starting there from firearms weapons to missiles and nuclear weapons in the end, well, it makes no sense to at least start such a cycle, but within the fram

not only because of the consequences it will have for the ukrainian people, because we know that north korean missiles are still targeting ukrainian facilities, but also because of the fact that relations of the type that will affect the security situation on the korean peninsula. we don't see any signs of that at the moment, but we'll be keeping a close eye on it. so what is known about it? visit, i will say a little at once that it will last two days, and the main topic of conversation will probably be weapons, or rather, according to experts, the number of weapons that the dprk can provide to russia, and this is what orientalist andriy lankov thinks about it. russia has two main big allies: china and india, it is happy to sell them its oil and some other natural resources, and purely from an economic point of view, north korea has... for russia almost zero value, but north korea has something that russia badly needs, ammunition, primarily north korean large-caliber artillery shells, which are very much needed in ukraine on the front line, and this is the main reason, not economy, because b

military says its soldiers. 5 warning shots off the north korean troops, basically cross the border. south korean soldiers stand god. their attention focused suddenly on the north, people here on the edge of the sunday skirmish at the border. even if the military says this was not a serious attempt to enter the cell. we got given that the north korean military immediately moved north after our warning broadcasts and warning shots, we believe that they did not intend to invade. but despite the reassuring woods relations between the 2, korea's r at the lowest and use tensions up in ratcheting up in recent weeks of to p on yang, sent hundreds of rubbish, field balloons across the border. many of the balloons was said to be filled with excrement. that in turn led the south to restart, broadcasting, propaganda, and cape off across the border, reinstalling racks of speakers pointing towards the north. now, sol, accuse this young gang of rebuilding its own loud speak is near at the militarized zone. speak instead of previously being removed degree is have

moscow receives a steady supply of north korean munitions and ballistic missiles. eturn, north korea needs help with space technology, as well as food, fuel, and foreign currency. our correspondent, shaimaa khalil, has been following the story from seoul. this trip is significant not just because it is vladimir putin's first trip in more than 20 years but i think it is also seen as yet another grand gesture between those two pariah states. it is seen as a sign of appreciation by vladimir putin in a way obliging to the invitation by kimjong un and also appreciating kimjong un unwavering support for russia's war in ukraine since the beginning. the russian president has arrived quite late but has a very busy day ahead of him and expected to attend the parade. also expected to visit the only orthodox church in pyongyang, the trinity life—giving orthodox church. these are all chances for the two men to again give the optics and the picture of unity that they still have friends they can rely on. also to see what they can offer each other, each one knows the other has some

what do you got given that the north korean military immediately moved north. after our warning broadcasts and warning shots, we believe that they did not intend to invade. but despite the reassuring woods relations between the 2, korea's r at the lowest and use tensions up in ratcheting up in recent weeks of to p on yang. since hundreds of rubbish built balloons across the board to many of the balloons was said to be filled with excrement. that in turn led the south to restart, broadcasting, propaganda, and cape off across the border. reinstalling racks of speakers pointing towards the north. now, sol accuse is beyond yang of rebuilding its own. loud speak is near at the militarized zone. speak instead of previously being removed degree is have a long history of blasting each other with propaganda. the use of massive stacks of speak is goes back more than half a century a deal. so both sides agreed to stop using them in 2018. their effectiveness has recently been questioned and many see the re introduction as largely symbolic the balloons purchased. as in the

, they brought nepalese, they brought africans, a lot of people, so the north koreans could appear, i guess, i understand that on the state material and other components are equal to this. which are agreed upon, on the one hand, and on the other hand, it is still such an adventurous trick, you know, to find yourself between russians and ukrainians, you need to at least understand the language, the mentality, i very much doubt that young people, and most likely it will be the north korean military is young enough that they will be able to figure out how to behave in this war between the slavs, so i think the decline there will be catastrophic, because we realize that the north korean army... for all its brash power, which is painted by the north korean propaganda itself, but it is generally a very unmodern backward army in hats and shanks. but on the other hand, you see, mark, how generously putin began to distribute what was once called the doctrine of the soviet general secretaries, including andropov, that is, he let the people's republic of china, where to the sea of ​​japan, we un

as north korean troops were reportedly working near the heavily fortified sun of russia's president is due to arrive in north korea for a trip. i am just strengthening ties and developing trade that avoids width and sanctions. letting me have put in place his unwavering support for the reclusive communist country and the list of published ahead of his visits. it's put into this trip to north korea in 24 years. 20 chang has more power. that's all to the north korean president, tim john, celebrating russia's national day in killing. yeah, we're not russia. he said, wasn't in that simple ally, had a visit to asia by vladimir putin tongue tip. this significance to me is that you know mr. pollutant is traveling around like i is a statesman, you know, as a allies is putting this isn't the brakes. he's making moves and those are the thing that he's losing the war. i may have to think again, his 1st visit is to north korea, to, to leaders who then travel much president kim and puts in a will acquainted a visit to russia last year by conjunction, seems to have cemented an agreement to buy weapo

russia and the - of the north koreans? historically, j they haven't. low to give north korea what it's always wanted from them which is advanced technology, there is no record of them doing this and if they are going to do anything, the issue of spy going to do anything, the issue of spy satellites is although the defence establishment skips about all of this, support for satellites is less of a problem for the defence systems and ballistic technology. but it is unlikely given russia's interest in north korea in the historic reluctance to give the north korea north koreans anything in the follow—through in terms of that, not surprising to get will ingrain. thank you for coming on the programme. around the world and across the uk. this is bbc news. let's turn now to the middle east — amos hochstein, president biden envoy to the region was despatched to beirut today, for talks with the government in lebanon. it is the muslim holiday of eid al adah which appears to have brought at least some respite on the border, his brother has not launched an attack sin
