china russia pakistan even turkey can bring in nato participation on this kind of thing but we need to also bring in india pakistan as i said earlier and all these countries and china they all have a very vested interest in the future of afghanistan and why that has not happened is beyond me yet it becomes it still remains a u.s. war and that's got to change and i have spoken to individuals. who are very familiar with the battle scene there and they say you're right military is not the answer the military solution is not the answer but we don't know what the u.s. wants to do way that they're not going to find out because we haven't annunciation the strategy in sixteen years and that's why i believe. that those countries that surround afghanistan need to take that initiative finally and do something about it and if that means bringing in their own peacekeeping forces or working with the afghan government to bring in another. two to bring in more representation so be it at least we will have other countries that are in gauged and can deal with the future of afghanistan right now however

serious damage to the strategic security interests of all countries in the region including china and russia and disrupts the regional strategic balance well it looks like relations between beijing and washington won't be seeing any major reset but how big of a blow is that to china right now china's president xi is in moscow both china and russia would like to. demonstrate a common interest you can be a. deteriorating relations with the united to space both understand that donal's from administration. a serious fact of uncertainty and dave remain very cautious demonstration. china and russia is seen to be beneficial on the both the this despite trumps attempt to be better. body is was she a while ago looks like the geo political setup hasn't really changed just like under obama the two eurasian superpowers seem to be getting along pretty well while the united states is distancing itself and distrusting both of them. r.t. new york fatah has replied to known to made him delivered by saudi arabia and sound lies i will have the details right after the break. seemed wrong. just don't call. me. y

the china daily leads with a picture of president xi jinping shaking hands with russia's president putinent xi described their relationship as unshakeable, saying no matter how the outside environment changes china & russia's relationship will not be affected. the arab news looks at the increasing diplomatic crisis between saudi arabia and qatar. the gulf countries are meeting in egypt later today to decide whether to continue sanctions they imposed on qatar. and finally the business times looks at the allegations of his misuse of authority against singapore's prime minister. the paper says lee hsien loong is locked in an ongoing battle with his siblings over home that belonged to their father the late prime minister lee kuan yew. now, rico, there's been a bit of an upset in the world's most famous cycle race? yes, we're talking about the tour de france of course. the world champion cyclist, peter sagan, has been disqualified after knocking the briton, mark cavendish, into barriers, injuring his shoulder. and cavendish has now pulled out of the race. china's president, xijinping has arri

looking to a resolution in the coming days to impose new sanctions. 0n the other side, you had russia and chinae, you know — were very critical of the united states talking about the military option. they said that was unacceptable. and russia and china have a joint initiative. they basically want the world powers to start speaking to north korea, to have a suspension of north korea's nuclear programme, in exchange for the us and south korea suspending theirjoint military exercises. so the russian and chinese think that is the route to go. they say sanctions have not been working, so they are not on board with further sanctions. nada, it seems like the stakes are much higher this time around? absolutely. the security council has tried for years to impose tough measures to stop the advancement of north korea's programme. now, we have that they had tested a missile that could possibly hit alaska, and experts say in a few years they could possibly weaponise out with a nuclear tip. so certainly there is concern in the un security council. that is why the us ambassador, nikki haley, you can see the

china and russia are putting our statements. ow much pressure they can put on north korea. let's assess how much pressure they can put on north korea. what china can and will do is something i talked about with vincent ni from the bbc‘s chinese service. olga ivshina from the bbc russian service was also with us. for foeradimir for vladimir putin it is important to tie the questions from where he has influence with questions from where he can get the influence. recently one of his citizens died shortly after coming back from north korea and vladimir putin has some influence on north korea, but he wants to discuss issues like syria and ukraine. it seems obvious that he wants to tie those questions together and get more important ones oi'i together and get more important ones on the table. there are dos two parts of this statement. the second pa rt parts of this statement. the second part is more potentially important to the chinese, which is to urge america to stop a military exercise. china does not want america to get too involve

is in moscow both china and russia would like to. demonstrate their common interests you can view all. deteriorating relations with the united states both understand. administration. uncertainty and very cautious demonstration. in china and russia. to be beneficial on the polls. despite trump's attempt to be best buddies was she a while ago looks like the geo political setup hasn't really changed just like under obama the two eurasian superpowers seem to be getting along pretty well while the united states is distancing itself and distrusting both of them. are to new york. with just a day left before a g twenty leaders are sent to meet for their homework summit the german city is already and golfed in mass protests the police disperse protesters where the water cannons and demolish their tent camp in one of the city's parks there's a large police presence on the streets now and officers are wearing ride again these correspondent in germany peter all of them as the details. well this is all developing ahead of the g. twenty summit whic

security council following that proposal put forward by russia and china for more on the evolving situation in korea i'm joined now by robert nigh men policy director at just foreign policy welcome to the show robert what is your assessment of the pozole for north korea china and russia have put forward where the koreans would voluntarily freeze their weapons and nuclear tests if the u.s. and south korea in return halted their joint military actions which threaten north korea. i think it's a good starting point there is no military solution to this problem and the only option is diplomacy and that means that there have to be there has to be a willingness for concessions on all sides the russian and chinese proposals that you referred to piers to be something of an update to an earlier chinese proposal whether it will work or not it certainly has the characteristic that is asking both sides to do something to deescalate so that makes it sensible plausible unfortunately so far all we're hearing from the tron trumpet ministration is more threat more pressure more escalation that hasn't worked

if you make china and russia feel like they are partners who are needed on the part of the united states, maybe they will come to the table. >> eric: is there any getting china to the table honestly? i went back, harry truman, eisenhower, kennedy, nixon, ford, bush, obama. does trump have to try something other than bringing china to the table? >> kat: if china knows what's best for china the worst things get for us the more likely they would be to want to get involve involved. having the instability, having north korea be a problem for us, china likes that. they don't want a war. that would be the worst for them. they would have a refugee issue, nuclear programs in japan and south korea. it's a chinese nightmare. i don't know why they are not more concerned about it. i don't understand. >> eric: big trading partner. >> kat: sure, but that goes away if we have world war iii right there. >> eboni: i don't think anybody believes it's going to get there. you gave a laundry list of presidents who have failed, and i agree that sanctions make us feel good. there's no way to enforce them. they

russia and china have two of them.r one can prevent sanctions, further sanctions against north korea. so now the president has to talk to vladamir putin and then remember he all meets with the chinese president. you'd think he'd have to say, we talked about this at mar a-lago, i thought you were gonna help me. not so much. >> shannon: based on the tweet yesterday or the day before that came out from the president that said basically, i thought china was with us on the north korea issue but looks like in the first quarter trade is up 42%. so maybe not so much. really, publicly kind of calling out china on some of these issues he thought they'd be more helpful with. we talk about the fact that for china, the north korea situation presents a number of issues. they don't want millions of refugees coming across their border. people are trying to make them see a war in that region would be worse for them than possibly toppling that regime and dealing with, of course, the outflow of refugees that you will have in that situati

will china also be losing by bypassing a large chunk of russia? a will lose something. we know from the gas contract between russia and china, both countries benefit a lot. russia allows a lot of gas pipes in order to share. sherrod a competitive price. i'm sure the two countries can arrange a good price for both. despite the situation between russia and china at the moment, traders up by over 26% between the two countries. what drives this higher trade? trade has been developing investment and opportunity with finance and mass media and education. many different fields are developing and just now the chinese president is coming to moscow to discuss mutual bilateral relations until 2020. because until then, trade should reach $200 billion. before we go, let's have a quick look at how asian markets are faring at in the morning trade this tuesday. all are in positive territory. to the all 0rdinaries gaining 35 points. this is due to rising oil prices and investor appetite for financial stocks which helped to boost most of the us and european equities

it seems like president trump is kind of being boxed into a corner by both china and russia. the united states is strategic interests here from protecting alaska, protecting the homeland, protecting hawaii, stability on the korean continent may not be and in some cases is not china and russia's interests here. whatever president trump wants to do with north korea, while he's tweeting that you know, now is the time for china to be getting more involved, the united states still has a real interest in calling some of the shots at least in terms of laying out the strategy and you can believe president putin and russia, president xi and china are not necessarily on the same page here so you're going to see president trump walking into this now bilateral meeting on friday. it seems like right now at least the terms of the table are the agendas are being set by president putin here. >> and so david, you know, the setting of the tone by putin for, you know, donald trump, setting of the term on the global stage as it pertains to this world issue of north korea, what do you suppose is c

china and russia, meanwhile, have begun their annual joint naval exercises. china daily reports the drills are taking place in the baltic sea, the first of their kind for the chinese navy in europe. the gulf news claims israel has defied international calls to remove metal detectors at the entrance of a sensitive holy site in eastjerusalem despite the security measure triggering violent clashes with palestinians. onshore uk windfarms now lead the field in efficiency and can be built for about the same price as gas power stations, according to the guardian. the finding comes as the world's first full—scale floating wind farm takes shape off the coast of scotland. and it was a good day for british sport yesterday with england's women's team snatching the world cup in a thrilling victory over india. while britain's chris froome made it four tour de france victories in paris. i think it is the cricket which has been more exciting for our paper reviewer. joining us is kulveer ranger, director of digital public services for atos. lovely to see you. we will come to c

certainly economically china is the driving seat here, but i think in the political sphere both china and russia jie, thank you very much for speaking to us. doctor yu jie from lse ideas. let's take a look at some of the other news stories today. china has for the first time given foreign investors access to its bond market — a $9 trillion trading system which is the third largest in the world. the scheme, which offers investors access via hong kong, got off to a busy start, with nearly $300 million‘ worth of bonds purchased in the first 20 minutes of trading. iran says the french energy giant, total, is to sign a contract worth almost $5 billion to develop an offshore gas field. it's iran's biggest foreign deal since most economic sanctions against the country were lifted last year. total said it had planned to sign the contract several months ago, but had decided to wait and see if the trump administration would re—impose sanctions on tehran. india introduced a landmark reform to its tax system over the weekend. the "goods and services tax" replaces hundreds of individual state—based levies, a

russia and china have been part of that conversation. we have a very forceful u.n. ambassador. change the basic interest that dictate russia and china's position. if i can, i want to comment on two things that putin brings to the table. you asked earlier to add to jill's point, putin has been late to every meeting with every world leader that he has ever held. now that is so much of a pattern. he has been late with the pope. he was late to president obama, intentionally late to angela merkel. that's not an accident. i am very curious how late -- he is going to be late. how late will he be with donald trump? ten minutes like he was for obama? will it be hours like he has been? recall if you watched the oliver stone interviews, he kept oliver stone waiting for hours. this is part of his tactic, and the second thing he brings to the table is he tangled with russia's wealthy men. with russia's wealthy, powerful, you know, self-centered, highly branded oligarchs. 15, 20 years ago, and he beat them. and i think putin has an image of trump that trump is a kind of mega oligarch. now, h

russia and china have a different approach of dealing with north korea. deal with north korea more closely than we do. we have basically isolate the north korea. russia and china have not. it is closer to their neighborhood so they are more concerned potentially about the fallout of what's going to happen if something does end up turning to a military conflict. in the same way in which south korea and japan are concerned if we take this step, it is important to see that that test did happen in lockstep with the south koreans and that that is all being planned jointly. but you are potentially seeing here an opportunity for there to be a splint erring around the coalition that needs to hang together if anything actually is going to be done about north korean that is not going to potentially lead to having to do these things in less of a just show man way and more of a actual fight. >> let's get back down to the pentagon. we ha >> what we're also being told and reminded of is that since 2003, actually, the u.s. military has fired about 100 of these missiles,

russia is on the back foot here. is it trying to write a long on the coattails of china or actually be an equal partner? of resources on loan, people, economy, russia is vastly inferior to china, it is an asymmetrical relationship and always will be. the way that putin has set up his own political regime, how he has legitimised that, it doesn't really allow him to take an openly subordinate position to say that we are thejunior allies subordinate position to say that we are the junior allies of the chinese and there is a lot to be had in presenting this as an equal partnership of some sort but it isn't. it really isn't. thank you very much indeed. let's stay with the world's second largest economy. china has just opened up its corporate bond market to overseas investors. starting from today, institutions such as banks and hedge funds will be able to buy chinese company debt via the hong kong based exchange. 0ur correspondentjuliana liu joins us from hong kong. how important is this? this is quite significant. it's something that has been long—awaited. as you know, china's on the market is the third—large

russia and china say there must not be a military response. the us says it is prepared to use force. the united states is prepared to use the full range of our capabilities to defend ourselves, and our allies. violent protests in venezuela on independence day — hundreds of demonstrators storm the national assembly and attack members of congress. changing gear — volvo plans to give all its new cars an electric motor from 2019. and why more and more young people injapan are embracing celibacy. hello. the united nations is looking seriously divided over how to respond to north korea's latest missile test — the 11th this year, the first with an intercontinental ballistic missile. all have been in breach of un sanctions. the american ambassador has said the us is prepared to use military force "if we must". the us wants new sanctions, but russia says attempts to strangle north korea economically are "unacceptable". all this as president trump visits poland, ahead of the 620 summit. here's our diplomatic correspondent james landale. today, on the co

arc is doing has rouse the indignation of china russia and the united states and many other countries in the region and beyond and i think the final time is coming for a final reckoning of how to deal with this situation here but what can you do the military options difficult because close by china are often kreutzer this but then you look at the trade the first part of this year with north korea it's gone up such saying hang on china is saying one thing well you are actually going to try and pull some strings it's a try and get north korea on side to stop this thing and donald trump is kind of played all these cards quite quickly talked about selling that a mother. what can we do what is the future going to bring now the next couple of weeks or so looks like north korea you could say is trying to provoke the international community its argument is we can send missiles up in the air and test them if you want to america does it. yeah i think ultimately all the countries need to be committed to the unwavering goal of achieving that denuclearization on the korean peninsula yes indeed. ca

the moment and it's showing the shifting tectonic plates in world affairs that it's actually russia and china who maybe to stabilize the situation. she did paying a visit to russia comes at a time when china's relations with the u.s. on shaky grounds now it's off to beijing ordered military vessels and jets to ward off an american warship which according to china violated its territorial waters in the south china sea i think a lot more pain looks at how things started to go wrong between beijing and washington remember the famous chocolate cake that donald trump used to woo the chinese leader we had the most beautiful piece of chocolate cake that you've ever seen president she was enjoying it that was the first time that trump and she met with trump putting on a grand dinner for she which also featured trump's granddaughter singing a song for she in chinese. well that was back in april sense then trump's charm offensive seems to a faltering here's how the chinese foreign ministry sees it. president xi explicitly pointed out that china u.s. relations have made great progress in the recent days

russia and china are proposing they stop the missile test in exchange for the u.s.th korean military ceasing large scale drills. no word from the u.s. about that proposal. we wait for official details about the launch to come in, president trump tweeting his reaction as soon as the news came in, north korea just launched another missile. does this guy have anything better to do with his life? hard to believe that south korea and japan will put up with this much longer. perhaps china will put a heavy move on north korea and end this nonsense once and for all. >>> the u.s. led coalition fighting isis in syria says it made a major step driving isis from the biggest stronghold. the coalition announced this morning's troops breached the wall surrounding the city of raqqah, allowing troops to push through the most heavily fortified part of the city. raqqah is considered the de facto capital of isis in syria. isis declared a caliphate three years ago. >>> the white house confirming president trump will meet with russian president vladimir putin friday at the g-20 summit in

he's in the region including china and russia and disrupts the regional strategic balance well it looks like relations between beijing and washington won't be seeing any major reset but how big of a blow is that to china right now china's president xi is in moscow both china and russia would like to. demonstrate their common interests you can view all. deteriorating relations with the united states both understand donal's from administration. a serious fan of uncertainty and very cautious demonstration of. china and russia you seen to be beneficial on the part of both. despite trump's attempt to be best buddies was she a while ago it looks like the geo political set up hasn't really changed just like under obama the two eurasian super powers seem to be getting along pretty well while the united states is distancing itself and distrusting both of them. are to new york. breaking news coming in right now south korean and u.s. forces so far met silence into the sea of japan in a show of force against north korea this is part of joint military exercises between washington and seoul was condu

russia and china. that may have ever be in the history and that is something that time and time again during the various appearances by the two leaders and obviously they talked about many things they agree don't go up very shouldn't agriculture in space and business in the media almost every sphere you can talk about they side deals with twelve billion dollars and they were all smiles about it. says this man who told me that ice cream is very much enjoyed as i promised to my old box of russian ice cream. the chinese also said that the will was growing turbulent restless and case in point north korea launching another alleged into immediate. successfully further heightening tensions in the region and here the chinese and russian leaders came out with a surprising solution the side suggest north korea voluntarily declares a moratorium on nuclear tests and missile launches and that the u.s. and south korea refrain from joint drills the idea is to get both sides to deescalate and pulled back away from the

steve, russia and china are major objectors to new u.n. sanctions.t trump is just wrapping up talks with president xi today. how do you think they are going to be able to come to some type of common understanding on where and how to try and get north korea in line? >> well, all of the countries you mentioned russia, china, japan, south korea, of course united states, has fundamental key concerns. all of these nations do have a joint interest in north korea's nuclear ambitions and nuclear delivery technology for moving forward. all of them have that. donald trump would do the world a great deal of good if he could figure out a pathway to align the interest of those nations in such a way that north korea felt it had no other choice but to move. guess what, that is the model we used on iran. russia, china were very helpful to us in helping create the iran deal. donald trump has been critical of that arrangement and deal. so right now we don't have all those nations on the same level. we don't have china and the united states aligned in the way they migh
