1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:04,840
Speaker 1: Binyamin Nitya, who has been issued well, an risked warrant

2
00:00:04,840 --> 00:00:07,560
Speaker 1: has been issued for him from the International Criminal Court,

3
00:00:07,640 --> 00:00:10,120
Speaker 1: but he's not aligned. Vincent mekavinnie as our UK europe

4
00:00:10,119 --> 00:00:13,440
Speaker 1: correspond Vincent, what's going on here? Well?

5
00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:17,239
Speaker 2: The International Criminal Court a few hours ago issued these

6
00:00:17,360 --> 00:00:20,320
Speaker 2: arrest warrants for three individuals, one of them the Israeli

7
00:00:20,360 --> 00:00:25,120
Speaker 2: Prime Minister Binyamin Nittanyahu, and also the Fence secretory you've Golant,

8
00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:31,000
Speaker 2: as well as Mohammad d'ief of Hamas, although Israel says

9
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:33,640
Speaker 2: that he was killed in an air strike in July.

10
00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:36,839
Speaker 2: The judges said in their statement there was reasonable grounds

11
00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:40,879
Speaker 2: that the three men wore criminal responsibility for alleged war

12
00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:44,680
Speaker 2: crimes and crimes against humanity during the war between Israel

13
00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:49,519
Speaker 2: and Hamas. That both Israel and Hamas have rejected these allegations,

14
00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:51,080
Speaker 2: all right.

15
00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:54,600
Speaker 1: And one of these claims that Russia has used an

16
00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:59,400
Speaker 1: intercontinental ballistic missile against Ukraine. Is this being confirmed yet?

17
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:03,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, there is some confusion around this claim. The Ukrainian

18
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:07,480
Speaker 2: President Zelenski has come forward and said that a new

19
00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:10,520
Speaker 2: rocket was used and says that their intelligence says to

20
00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:13,640
Speaker 2: have the characteristics of an ICBM, so that is an

21
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:17,200
Speaker 2: inter continental ballistic missile, the kind of missile that you

22
00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:20,720
Speaker 2: would attach a nuclear warhead to and fire it thousands

23
00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:24,040
Speaker 2: of kilometers. That would be a new move by Russia.

24
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:26,920
Speaker 2: There's no claim that there was a nuclear warhead attached,

25
00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:31,160
Speaker 2: but the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry is sharing the details and

26
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:33,920
Speaker 2: intelligence they've got on the missile with partners so that

27
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:37,400
Speaker 2: they can ascertain what exactly it was. The US is

28
00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:41,160
Speaker 2: disputing this, Russia is saying nothing at the moment. It comes,

29
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:44,399
Speaker 2: of course, with an escalation this week, the attack of

30
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:47,680
Speaker 2: missiles being provided by the US being given approval for

31
00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:51,120
Speaker 2: them to fire into Russian territory. These long range missiles

32
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:55,200
Speaker 2: and the UK's storm shadow missiles similarly also now being

33
00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:59,480
Speaker 2: allowed by the British Prime Minister Sikistama to be allowed

34
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:03,160
Speaker 2: to be shot further into Russia. We know that Russia

35
00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:06,160
Speaker 2: updated its nuclear doctrine earlier in the week. That was

36
00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:08,079
Speaker 2: seen as a bit of saber rattling. But if they

37
00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:11,600
Speaker 2: are using ICBMs, perhaps it is a sign that things

38
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:13,639
Speaker 2: are getting even more tense in the region.

39
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:15,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, what's your statesmans, and is it that things are

40
00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:18,200
Speaker 1: getting more tints in the region, which I mean obviously

41
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:21,720
Speaker 1: they are, but is it just posturing a head of

42
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:25,359
Speaker 1: Trump coming in and potential deal making. What's your scenes?

43
00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:29,400
Speaker 2: It does feel like posturing. But at all times, you know,

44
00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:34,800
Speaker 2: this could be this kind of situation could go incredibly wrong.

45
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:38,200
Speaker 2: I mean that there are you know, new Ukraine that

46
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:40,079
Speaker 2: we know it has, you know, the like social nobyl

47
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:42,639
Speaker 2: it has other nuclear plants as well. If they're using

48
00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:44,960
Speaker 2: these kinds of weapons, if they go off site because

49
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:47,480
Speaker 2: you shot them down or something, it could cause damage

50
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:50,120
Speaker 2: to infrastructure like that. I mean, it is an alarming

51
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:54,200
Speaker 2: because one mistake, one miscalculation. If they do fire an

52
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:57,239
Speaker 2: actual ICBM, how has anyone to know if they track

53
00:02:57,280 --> 00:02:59,400
Speaker 2: it on a satellite and it's moving, whether or not

54
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:01,520
Speaker 2: it does have an nuclear warhead attached to it or not.

55
00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:03,799
Speaker 2: So it does feel like quite a tense moment.

56
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:06,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely, all right, Vincent, thank you very much for that.
