crack down, stand news was one of the last media out as to publish government criticism before it was closed. in 2021. and the earlier i spoke with tom grande's, the head of the english language news outlet home. com, free press and asked him about the specific seditious publications that the home concourse referenced will prosecute to the fact that some news had sold to inside patriot against your thoughts. it through a series of 17 articles. have you got those on a totals, but they were opinion pieces by democrats, interviews, we've been to this feature about the process, the hard news piece about human rights price. but today's 11 of the 17 articles were found to be suspicious, mostly all pets. i just quote saying the tongue and lamb new all of agreed with this the dishes contention of the articles they provided standards as

a publication platform to insight, hatred against hong kong and china. now this news outlet arose from the boston mass of the 2014 umbrella movements. it rose to prominence during the 2019 product tests . very much a go to place for they move on to get their updates, but could be 19 restrictions and under security. and also the end of those protests and again, later on, news was rated by about $200.00 national security police around almost $9000000.00 us dollars worth of assets are frozen, understanding is deleted its entire website shortly after. now it's all based on what you have seen in hong kong since 2019. what sort of sent to thing kinda expect . and i probably have lights, but tongue tongue and alarms spend a year behind balls awaiting trial, then they go to bail on now they face up to 2 years in prison tongue was just going to bail about so 2 minutes ago, in fact, given the passage of

a new security and all of this year you took place 7 years or 10 years in prison if there is a case of sedition with uh with, with foreign forces involved. um that colonial era law has been tough and in recent months. and it means the truth, they go to prison, they will not be allowed early release. it's unclear yet. one of the sentence saying will occur, but i wouldn't want to speculate well, stage on this to happen, and how do you think this case will affect what remains? of press freedom in the city. well, it's going to finally have an impact. we've been waiting for this for a long time. every news room in the city is going to have to consider who is writing for them. what they on right thing already main power. one of the main chinese newspapers a few weeks ago, right tool of it's called a mess to the castle. we have already been very careful ourselves with the opinion section, focusing on on the odd news. but already we are saying press freedom and use

describe as the the journalist association just said of the exam by the decline of the cities press freedom because the board is saying, but it's, that's a very dangerous precedent. so we're going to be studying this box, getting legal advice by saying what it means. so what remains of press freedom in the city, run to the founder of the humphrey press news outlets. joining us from on com. thank you very much, tom to badging now where us presidential biden's, national security advisor has met with the chinese president. she jen thing about the red direct meeting with china's leda caps 3 days. so from high level toll subject sullivan to those talks come at the time of heights. and tensions between the superposition across a range of issues use is asia correspondent james trace of reports showing this top diplomat twomey in talks with us national security advisor, jake sullivan. it's the 1st trip of an american national security advisor to china

since 2016 or in recent years, these 2 officials have met several times in the countries, often to stem spiraling tensions between the 2 superpowers. but this is the 1st time basements engaging on the agenda, managing friction across a range of issues, including china is growing, relationship with most go as well as tensions with more symptoms. asian products, like taiwan, president binding has been very clear conversations with president. she is committed to managing the support response hanging over the taxes, the coming us selection. donald trump has promised to double down on his tough thoughts towards aging, from his last time and know that night, including raising terrace on china is good. but coming to harvest is get to make a house shoot approach relations with china mistaking a strong stones at the recent democratic party bench,

the user on space, an artificial intelligence that america, not china, wins the competition for the 21st century. but regardless of who wins november's election, a complex security picture awaits in the south china sea. this week, tensions between china and the philippines continued to simmer with manila accusing badging of rubbing its vessels. and on tuesday, japan public he claimed for the 1st time that the chinese military aircraft had preached as as space. tokyo said, the incident with a serious violation of the countries over instead of aging, said that it was investigating the matter. i'd like to emphasize that china has no intention of invading the aerospace of any country or so staging. and washington has sold some managed expectations for outcomes from the tools. so with the voters, how few months ahead in us politics, simply keeping ties on

a stable fitting will be a wilson result. we can get more now from the w's east. asia correspond to jane straight though father report. he joins us from taipei. now the us national security advisors meetings with presidency and other top officials, can you say without any indications what actually came out of these meetings is one of the most important things that is going to come out of these meetings is simply the pledge for more communication remember, this is jay sullivans, the strengths of aging, in this position, the national security adviser, president biden, is for the united states. the 1st trip of this time since 2016 and even you know, that he was able to have a face to face meeting with susan king says quite some also balance of the importance of both sides of pressing on this relationship with the moments. one of the key outcomes from the opposition and be saying is a pledge. of course that's i'm a, she's young. people hold

a final call with premises, enjoyed by them before he leaves office in january next year. but really phone us time you've heard across we thought outcomes across a number of different issues. besides that issue, a fence, no products, the products that can be used in the production of funds and all this discussed as well as those those incidents as i mentioned in that report that the incident of japan with the chinese minute you're going across entering japanese space as well as ongoing sanctions in the south china sea and that was really the back job that we saw that very read me thing between j. sullivan and john you'll shots. this isn't official who is a very senior official and the chinese ministry establishment. someone who is a key ally of susan ping and really has a year, she's in pain. we understand that they, they and not me thing touched at the present, but i just need somebody to treat communication. something the observers have been really worried about in the context of the tearing relations between these 2 countries of the previous years. now here's what about the timing of this a visit election day in the us. it's just 2 months away. and for example,

donald trump could well reverse a revised cost on any number of foreign policy initiatives by the current president to yeah, absolutely, donald trump is very much the other since in the room when it comes to any types of discussions between the us and chinese officials in the months before the selection and, and just to give you a sense of the political climate that's uh, the republican policy is currently working. and we saw proposing on it today from the financial times, which came to the case of the chinese officials and found it extremely difficult to reach house and establish communication with the trump campaign. because of concerns about sensitivity and concerns that they will be seems to be in some way under the influence of the chinese officials as it relates to come out of harrison . i have been nominated, but normally for the democratic democratic party, we really have less clarity on what exactly how positions are likely to be and whether they want these thoughts in any substantive way from the administration of

presidents or buying unless you of course, has been a key member of but we are likely to see an approval continuation of the policy this. i'm a bite and a set sounds a, especially the pain deepening. there's partnerships with allies in the region in the, in the pacific. now dividing the has approve the us strategy in case of coordinated nuclear confrontations with china, russia and north korea. do you know whether that came up in the tools so far? we understand that in the mean, this was actually related to the new times screening sites was published last week, which indicated the president boynton. any of this you had signed off on a new us new tier to turn strategy one that focus much more on the potential. the threats posed by china, where historically there has been much more emphasis on russia, given the highest sensitivity all of these documents. it's not exactly k whether the specific solve this strategy came up in the course of these discussions are the most amazing sites of behind a little bit, of course,

is that growing and expanding nuclear arsenal that china has dependency gone last year. estimated that china now has some 500 and youtube who heads and codes have 1500 by 2035 importance of points out that that number is much smaller than either the united states or russia. but that was particularly concerned about the extent to which china's income science with other us, i'm sorry, is around the world. whether that's russia or north korea could pose a more complex and you see a problem and threats to the united states and its interests around the wealth in russia and north korea close, you're not to countries which is the evening that relationship and so flouncing down, you can't weapons, and so this us, this new us strategy, which would likely be here a little bit more about the over the coming months. really an indication about very complex security picture which the us on. it's all as we're trying to work in, and this region from type a values east asia corresponded james chide. so thank you very much, james. now let's have

a look at some of the other stories making headlines around the world today. south korea's climate goals have been ruled unconstitutional after lawsuit that named the embryo as one of the lead plaintiff's mother lead on the show on join the case on behalf of her then unborn child back in 2020 to thousands of children with named best petition is to show the disproportionate impact of a climate change on the young. the slugs of killed dozens of people in india as western who gerad status monsoon. ryan's calls rivers to bus the backs. local media reports at 90. 2000 people have to be rescued by the military. over 3 days of flooding, more rain is expected to hit the coastal region today. type flu shots on one of japan's strongest type foods in decades is pounding southern areas with strong winds and parental rain. millions of people have been advised to evacuate

with a storm expected to have north east swore to tom's main island home show. at least 3 people have been killed. sofa typhoon, sean. john makes landfill on japan. southern keys, you island, one of the most powerful to hit the nation in decades. authorities are warning of unprecedented whether the type phone is moving slowly. experts say the pro long drain could lead to extensive damage. a quarter of a 1000000 homes were left without power in the south. a journalist speaking to dw says, shawn shawn is causing disruptions across japan the the humid air mass, so that this as soon as broad rebates is effecting not just the southern part of japan, but really more or less the whole country. even

a 1000 columbus is away from the center of the typhon. in central japan, rescuers pulled a survivor from a home that was buried by a landslide. 3 members of a family died. authorities have advised millions of residents to evacuate, and our calling for maximum vigilance. studies have shown that type foods in the region are being made more severe by climate change. the cost examples of showing that stifling, bring more rain for wisdom these days that they didn't because of the rising temperatures, this affects informational surgeries and the amounts of rain. it's really what's, what causes such large damage forecasters say shaun shaun is losing strength but worn, that strong winds and heavy rainfall could persist. as

a storm has north free is into her ashes of oregon's ukraine must cause voltage neighbors. affronted per path of the threat of wool on their own soil. lot fairly so area under stony construct a, the so called baltic defense line to load off a russian attacks dw correspondence, your research a went to the landfill on board and titled cassava. to find out how the border region, this strange thing, it's defense capabilities. can these concrete blocks stop russian tanks? that's a big jump for so called dragon's to use the lock the as a border with russia. that part of the bolting defense line and major project shall have to buy lots of jo. this is a new and estonia against the potential threats from neighboring. russia is don't like them nice. that makes them then they must, by no means underestimate the imperialist attitude and the level of aggressiveness

in our neighboring country. so i don't want to make any assumptions here about what someone on the other side of the board or might be up to. but we must strengthen our armed forces and our defense capabilities with our partners funding without fear or panic. so space to pennsylvania despite sco possibly know that if the defense line goes be human to drag and steve, it also includes on the ground bunkers, storage for long minds via the boulder and securing supply routes. a few people in the baltic states expect and even entrusted traces of the soviet policy us to visible in riga and dominion locked against us, suspicious over the air for most of the buyers today. so to 3 years off the phone with the soviet union and to its in house, gave us a sense of rush us full scale invasion of ukraine. finding is there an independence is more important? so lots of dens than ever that fits this. i think it's necessary. i'm glad that

it's finally being designed to type the alarm within him. lee, fucked up the x, then a board is being strengthened is very good and upset. so as i'm a member, i think it's a necessary waste of money. i'll just hire somebody because it's useless from a military point of view or not move and snap because i don't think russia would attack latvia as the thing lucky is of no interest to russia. strengthening is a bolder, also sort of another purpose that they fight against irregular migration. one of the ways that the russia and the neighboring brother was a waging, as so called hybrid to war against the west sauls and some of my friends has been trying to enter, you will legally violate baltic states, or sorry to say you, they pose a threat to the internal security of the new boat. the installation, such as the vase that we simply construct the tense,

a meant to keep them out of the scope of defense like this is a real deterrent. you can easily climate. so the migrants look for a place where there is no fence, all the damage defense and leave traces behind bad, even the ball, the gods. notice this, let me just say and immediately stop looking for the perpetrators on the community . so 2nd, the questions plus the ultimate lazy bolt defense line is intended to stop or at least slow down as possible. rush innovation. an important part of a large scale native defense project in response to the russian hill of aggression ukraine. and earlier i spoke to the 1st part of your research. so filed this report and asked him how effective this bolt of defense line is likely to be. well, it's least it is, it is what it's supposed to be effective and thought to no one can say god was a. and if so, how was the potential attack owns the baltic states could really go. and we'd

remember how quickly is it options of that us an army captured lots area. so if you great in the 1st the days of the void defendant vent to as of all and still a new a bull defective occasions, no installations between russians, you create that as a so called greenville. although the same boss has a case in the baltic states until recently. so until recently that was not even defense on the border with the national nice a in the for any a nor a he had lots that was born here. that is changing. and addition to that, various, all the installation, fortifications, uplands, bunker storage facilities, prolonged mines to physically prevent the enemy from advancing typically bots. the baltic defense line is not the only measure because the boy is not only fault with kings. uh, both the countries do a lot to protect themselves from, for example, for the russian spies or to conduct russian propaganda and this information and so on and so on. and now both the countries and i've been warning of russian

aggression since the annexation of crimea in 2014, but mainly was ignored for years until the war began. all that finally be had yeah, it's a baltic states has always sat. does that, does a boy didn't start in 20? 22, bought in 2014 name was of what and done boss after that exception of time. yeah. which wasn't taken seriously enough. even the best. and that has changed this. the baltic states in the east are being held up. now, it's no surprise is that the baltic states, also, and long as the countries to, that's supposed to ukraine's most in relation to the rigidity. opening states have signed bilateral agreements with you for the next 10 years for military and economic support as an baltic states, among the strongest support this of the rush of the sanctions against the russia. as there, i demanded, for example, that the sanctions remain enforced even often that options have for withdrawing from your grand one day and all of this to support the advising population. the

people here are donating a lot of ukraine. a list for any of, for example, people donated money for combat to drones, for city bosses, he and lots of people donated used to call us defense the grant and so on and so on . you, we appreciate the w's read abilities. now let's look at some on using brief the use top diplomats as a blocks of consider imposing sanctions on some is really ministers. joseph burrell, accused on name cabinet, members of sending hateful messages and encouraging violations of international law . whereas previously criticized. is there any finance minister as all smoke switch for statement that appear to justify causing mass starvation? gauze of the land is criticized israel for his use of quotes, dudley will set tactics doing a military operation in the west. but more than a 1000 palestinians have been killed in the series of rights carried out by israeli forces. israel says the operations targets terrorist infrastructure in the west
