u. s. s. u k government's official position for the invasion. was that a rock possess weapons of mass destruction, but contradictory evidence existed. david kelly, ebert or scientists, and leading w. m. d, expert testified that officials knew the accusations about the arms were false and disputed tony blair statement. kelly was later found dead. the host of going underground, so there is a long history of suppressing true narrative in britain if they go against the government. it was dr. david kelly, who i talked to as a program i worked for the today program. he explained clearly that the british government were deliberately the words of the reporter andrew gilligan used to have for the show sexed up the information about w. m. d. and when he later testified as a parliamentary committee, he was put under a lot of pressure and he was found dead. but this is a long line of bi information troubles in britain. we must remember that while at the moment britain may be torturing julian assange. that's a long history in which any attempt to trying to get it. the truth in britain in the media is suppressed and 20 is on the iraq war example of dr. david kelly is just one of them. interesting that the family of dr. david kelly hardly speak about the death of the breadwinner in the family, the government scientist, or perhaps one should look at an example of another person who didn't die because of what he wanted to try to communicate to the british public. but previous director general of the b c. allister mil, his son eventually became the opposition labor parties, press spokesperson, jeremy corbett, express merchant. throughout the moon. he was fired and that was all prepared to talk about how the british broadcasting corporation was suppressed by the british government. and he was threatened with losing his pension rights, the kinds of pressure that are brought to bear on people in the media range from that to what's happening to julian assange to what happened to dr. david kelly. and that's all for now. be sure to check out our t dot com for all the latest breaking news and updates. we'll see you next time. ah ah, he most evasion of right of the 900 pounds is fundamentally racist. now, racism leads to genocide. it's very straightforward. they believe that they are superior. if you think that you are superior, and that's why you are rich, why is everybody else poor? you shut out of your mind, the idea that they are poor because you are making them, by robbing them by getting to buy your course dead. some of the rest of it. and you think no, it must be because they are inferior people. what do you do with inferior people? get rid of a ah, [000:00:00;00] ah ah ah, ah. hello and welcome to cross stock were all things are considered. i'm peter lavelle. the international criminal court is accused russia of committee, more crimes and ukraine. of course, the biden administration could not be more pleased the i c c u. c. that's a long history of doing washington's bidding. the same court washington refuses to be part of, ah.

u. s. u. k. and australia. i know we're hearing russia now to saying that august, this deal between the u. k and australia and the u. s. this, this arms deal will exacerbate geopolitical tensions and could lead to a conflict in asia. what do you make of that? that's a rush has been saying, but i don't know if you're invading some other country. i'm not sure in a good position to make any claims about publication. so no rush about russia, what russia is doing is clearly supporting it's a p s, the ally of the partners. sorry. so beijing is very wary about increase us ability to challenges position and russia is backing up just like beijing had back moscow up previously. is there any prospect in do you think of reducing tensions through dialogue between the u. s. and china? so dialogue will help reduce some of the confusion, the miscommunication, but fundamentally, beijing and washington have a lot of distrust between, between them. so that needs to be worked at dialogue can help they can also, if done wrong, reinforced the suspicions. so i think one of the key steps is of course, to have more transparency and to have a

u. s. and u. k. submarine building programs. more u. s. subs will start visiting australia this year, while british subs will increase rotations from 2026 by 2030 to australia, plans to buy 3 nuclear powered subs containing conventional weapons from the us, with the option of buying 2 more. and sometime in the 20 forty's, australia expects to have its own nuclear, so built by the u. k. and australia using u. s. technology. the orchestra gray met we confirmed here in san diego represents the biggest single investment in australia's defense capability in all of our history. the biggest threat in the pacific comes from an increasingly aggressive china, which has built new fortifications in the south china sea. it's a situation that china has, has created and brought upon itself very much like go russia has it in the ukraine . china's gigi and paying his called the august plan, an effort to encircle and contain his country view as, as missouri. here is a nuclear powered virginia class attacks of mine. the kind of us will send to australia is

u. s. and u. k. submarines making rotations in australia as a matter fact there's a u. s. submarine in the board of perth right now. but eventually, over the course of years, australia starting in 2032 would by 3 nuclear power, but carrying conventional weapons submarines from the u. s. with the option of buying 2 more. and then they would work on their industrial asking because ultimately they would make their own in australia that's not expected to happen until the 20 forty's. now, senior white house administration officials have said they were prodded in part by the war in ukraine. it showed the cooperation among european nations there in part by the threat of north korea. but the major threat that looming in the south china sea is china itself. it has been aggressively taking manmade islands and using them as military fortresses. they've been rattling sabres over taiwan, and the u. s. has been trying to combat that and by combining with australia and the u. k. so this is an international program to try to try to deter the threat as the u. s. would put it from the worl

u. s. and the you k, a u. s. says it is about securing piece. china disagree. and attempt to reassure the american people and markets after the collapse of to us banks. ah, i'm sara telly, welcome to the program. heave and moscow are both suffering heavy losses as fighting intensifies in the eastern city of buck mode. it is where the heaviest fighting has taken place in the year long war. president zalinski overnight vow to quote, destroy russia. they're saying that ukraine's future depends on the outcome of what happens in bach moot and other key areas. but there are doubts that defending the city is the best strategy for ukraine. up against the longest and bloodiest battle of moscow's of invasion to battle for bach moot. do ukrainian unit fires back, sending our fresh and attempts to take control of this city center. ah, fierce fighting has inflicted heavy losses on both sides. that ukraine says the battle for buck mood is one of the decisive fights for its future. does result on us would you? the situation in the east is very tough, very painful. we need to destroy the enemy's military power and we will be low, horrified, gear and muddy anchor of div kid and bar, mood, world glinda, and come younger and all other places were a future is being decided and the future of all ukrainians is being fought for grains viejo. russia has been trying to capture the eastern ukrainian city for months. so far. russian mercenaries have only managed to encircle back moot. moscow is now intensifying its campaign. delivering ammunition to wagner fighters who have been spearheading the attack on bar mood. all the, some $4000.00 residents are still in a town, according to an official tele, despite the fierce fighting in and around it were grammar, perversion, commanders, the capture of this city would mean an opportunity mother to deliver good news reward to the kremlin. and gradually course our portable and for more let's bring in correspondent mathias ballinger, who is joining us from keep me till us to just walk us through what is happening right now in back mood and who has the upper hand? well, it looks like yo, the wagner soldiers, the russian soldiers have intensified their attacks on the city center. they have been controlling the eastern part of the city for some days. now, there is a river separating the territories and it seems that they are now attacking on the other side of the river, the territory that ukraine is controlling. however, it's very unclear whether they are making any progress. it's in their tactics so far for quite some time. to just continue attacking, no matter what, accepting huge losses of course, and or they have been successful, but in a very slow way. so far. so it's not possible to say exactly where who is standing, where at the moment, but the fierce battles inside the city in the city center. they seem to be continuing. oh i, russian bloggers are complaining that the russian side is not making real progress the ukrainians continue to defend the city. and there has been some discussion on, you know, military experts have been weighing in about, you know, how strategic, in fact, this particular area is. so just walk us through with the debate as here. yes . so the losses of the ukrainian side are presumably also very high. we don't have exact figures as always from either either side, the ukrainians. keep maintaining that the russian losses are much higher. and that is why it's worth stopping them there and not retreating and then taking the fight to the next town are, which will then have the same fate as bad mood. that's those who defend ukraine's actions in back mod are saying the others camper saying that the losses are way too high and that these soldiers will also be missing for further offensive operations and jar that it's not worth throwing in. so many soldiers into a battle that seems to be really hard to win. and yet the kind in leadership has decided to continue holding back more precisely for the reason that they do not want the battle to go further into ukrainian territory. and they will do not want her to come at was the main city in the region targeted or slowdowns. the 2nd, a main city, it's not as strategic or location in the sense that a, it would open or, or, you know, lots of roads into the country. there's, there are few, few roads that lead to these 2 cities that i've just mentioned, but it's not a major transport hub. it's not a hill that you conquer, and then you can move beyond the hill or something like that mathias falling. now, with a view from keith, thank you. the leaders of the united states, australia, and britain have unveiled details of a new nuclear submarine deal. they met in san diego on monday as part of what is known as the at arcus alliance. the plan will provide australia with nuclear powered attack submarines, a major step to counter china's ambitions in the indo pacific. oh, a hearty welcome for the 3 global leaders. they've come together 2 unknowns, not just a major arms deal, but a historic strategic partnership. the oak is agreement, we confirm here in san diego represents the biggest single investment in australia's defense capability in all of our history. australia will buy as many as 5 of these nuclear powered submarines and later build a new on themselves based on a british design with u. s. technology. it's a long time upgrade that will make australia a full partner in fielding top secret us nuclear technology. previously only shared with the u. k. warden has no partnership. we're showing again how democracies can deliver our own security and prosperity and not just for us, but for the entire world. all this is an attempt to counter growing chinese military power, which includes beijing's construction of a sophisticated naval fleet. britain is also beating up its military capabilities. it is more important than ever that we strengthen the resilience of our own countries. that's why the u. k. is today announcing a significant list and our defense budget. we're providing an extra 5000000000 pounds over the next 2 years. cluster alia isn't getting nuclear weapons, but the nuclear propulsion of the new submarine fleet will add substantial strength to the western alliance. and here's the look now at some other stories making news around the world in southeastern africa, o
