9:29 pm
four thousand bases in the united states almost a thousand bases spread across every corner. the archipelago of empire the bases that we have around the world hidden in plain sight are the real territory of our empire but at the same time we maintain independent governments in japan or south korea or germany. they don't have autonomy when it comes to foreign policy so it's a very sophisticated and effective system. where whereby we pat ourselves on the back for helping to midwife democracy in japan and germany and south korea and various other places while keeping the lid on in that we don't know what these countries would do if they were fully independent and the beauty of this system is
9:30 pm
that most people pay no attention to it at all they think it's just a natural occurrence to have fifty thousand american troops and japan and there's no country that has better and i'm sure he'll credit credit then the united states and we are not trying to recreate the glories of. the british empire we're arguing that the world is round we have a global policy and. all nations have global rights no ocean has ever been dominated the way the u.s. dominates the pacific navy air force. they claim in the pearl harbor headquarters of the pacific command they claim to be responsible for fifty two percent of the earth surface and when you look at their logo it shows an eagle over the aleutian islands with one tail on coming down somewhere near
9:31 pm
seattle on the other coming down right over beijing so beijing looks at a network of bases a real archipelago of empire that's been built up since the korean war you have had and still have an of of bases that start in a straight go through your house if we have no bases in australia you have you have . and you have a new facility in western australia no to speak precisely we have no military bases in australia what we do is operate with and in australian bases but we're not in the basing business nowadays there's a growing collection of what are referred to as lily pad bases these are bases that have typically three hundred troops no family members very few
9:32 pm
amenities and they're often quite secretive their bases that are frequently constructed within a foreign country's base to disguise it and generally are not referred to as bases . many of these bases have been set up to combat china's well wide economic influence. from these bases the united states operates a secret ami you know hundred forty seven countries. if you're going to be a free country rather than a given every gangster regime in the world is going to have to take a risk because the gangsters they want to they want to eliminate good people in the world so they can. have in china they want to dominate all of the all of the far east they want to dominate just like japan wanted to before world war two their goal was to dominate that part of the world today the because there's been no political reform in beijing these guys want to dominate
9:33 pm
a huge chunk of the planet while it's andrew campaign of it has served on america's national defense panel so he's a military strategist and will plan that you've written that strikes a naval blockade have a role to play in punishing china. you've described the need for sea mines you've described the need for special forces u.s. special forces and missile. placed in islands this sounds like a preparation for war. our first president george washington said if you want peace prepare for war and essentially what the united states is doing in is responding to provoke kind of behavior on the part of china and just as we did in the cold war the idea was to have a position of military strength such that your adversaries were not tempted to act
9:34 pm
in an aggressive ways or try to employ coercion to get their way and he just last week the u.s. navy sent a guided missile destroyer. in the spratly islands and south china sea and what was different about this i think was the chinese fighter scramble. that sounds like an escalator. well the again from an american perspective the escalation was the chinese speeding to militarized these islands in the first place moving its military capabilities doubt into that region and gauging a provocative behavior against the commercial activities said military forces of other minor countries in the region that have claim to those islands so it's a response to chinese intimidation rather excuse me how is comas being intimate. in the south china sea there have been no military forces nobility bases there the
9:35 pm
chinese except the united states military base on the south china sea and that even in the philippines because the united states withdrew its forces in the philippines that united states is back in the philippines the philippines and the united states have an ounce to five different locations scattered all throughout the philippines where u.s. troops will be stationed on a rotational basis this threat to china from yet more u.s. bases on its doorstep was not an issue when an arbitration tribunals ruled against china's claims to the strategic spratly islands in the south china sea in two thousand and fifteen the us navy rehearsal the blockade that would cut china's lifelines of oil and trade and roll materials. the danger of confrontation grows by the day. the u.s. navy is on the doorstep of china regardless of disputed islands and is there
9:36 pm
with low draw off ships planes battle groups it's right on the doorstep of chinese ships what if the equivalent was off california where we ask ourselves that question regularly and it's important to put yourself in the other guy's shoes so we don't operate in the pacific in an effort to scare china to contain china to back foot china our operations and our presence in first of all is warmly welcomed by the vast majority of the coastal states but secondly is fully accepted by the chinese time after time it's excuse me is it fully accepted my impression there will by their words the chinese version is this kid. then this
9:37 pm
is what they scared off unloose of bases right around china. drug war ships a provocation of law so they. i state clearly and with conviction america's commitment to seek the peace and security of a world without nuclear weapons. was under obama nuclear warhead spending has risen higher than on to any president since the end of the cold. it's all magicians show because at the same time that obama is talking about that not only is he spending a trillion dollars to modernize u.s. nuclear forces but he's deploying these missile defense systems to encircle russia
9:38 pm
and china which makes it impossible to get rid of nuclear weapons and that climate everybody wants to look like they're tough say i'm going to be tough i'm going to show you know i'm not afraid of doing anything military i'm not afraid to threatening i'm you know i'm a hairy chested gorilla and you know and you don't want to look like you're weak so you do is you talk more and more aggressively and and you let and if you don't want to do it yourself. because you maybe think it doesn't look very presidential you let somebody under you do the talking and we have gotten into a state the united states got into a situation where there's a lot of military. you know saber rattling and it's really being orchestrated from the top you know this seems incredibly dangerous all of this it's an understatement but i grant. when you routinely plan for mass murder you become
9:39 pm
conditioned to it that's what that is we accept that oh yeah we have nuclear weapons the defense secretary has just announced that there will be warships and special forces and planes sent to the philippines in the wall street journal is described this is the viking god of a major u.s. presence in southeast asia and sounds like what is and. what is that what's the purpose i mean where are we going to stop this process before it starts a war. and then if the war starts where does that end.
9:40 pm
the scientific studies that they teach by the scientists that predicts that the earth can be made essentially uninhabitable from nuclear war the scientists have been begging the bomb and straight while they were inside begging but they've made multiple requests to meet with them discuss these predictions because they're peer reviewed studies and they've been turned down over and over again they've been peripherally told that well we don't think the long term environmental consequences or nuclear war are all that important if the immediate effects of nuclear are don't stop it but the long term environmental consequences of nuclear or a liable to wipe out the human race in one exchange uclear exchange between the
9:41 pm
u.s. and china. could be the consequences well let me just give you an example of what one chinese four five megaton warhead do to a city in the united states forgot through. the detonation of that weapon over a city would instantly ignite about six or seven hundred square miles on fire. and within twenty to thirty minutes all those fires would call us into a single gigantic firestorm would be no escape from it so all the people there would perish so the u.s. with say hundreds of. nuclear weapons on chinese cities well when you combine all the smoke from these nuclear weapons detonating it actually creates millions of tons of spoke black carbon spoke all rise above club level into the stratosphere it's heated by the sun it's acts like a solar collector and that smoke because of that will stay there for ten years or longer and what the smoke does is it blocks forming sunlight from reaching the
9:42 pm
surface of the earth and it becomes so cold in a matter of just a couple weeks that will the temperatures will fall below freezing every day for one to three years. and it will become too cold to grow food crops for at least ten years or longer. i mean this is like a total disconnect with the changing world you have a giant rising power in this case china why would you expect the giant rising power to not want to have more control over its destiny what we should be doing in my view is trying to cultivate a sense of friendship and cooperation and we can have our differences with them if we think they're doing something in trade that we don't like let's have it out with them but this saber rattling is the worst thing we could possibly do
9:43 pm
all right there is time to show the whole world that america is back bigger and better add sure that now after before. we don't have victories anymore we used to have victorious but we don't have them when was the last time anybody saw us speeding let's say china. in a trade deal. they kill us we can't continue to allow china to rape our country and that's what they're doing it's stick greatest staffed in the history of the. new president donald trump has a problem with china the question now is will from continue with
9:44 pm
the provocation from the old remove. and take us all to be of war. there never have been two countries more into dependent on each other then china and the us in history. and china is the largest trading nation in the world and in history so china's economy and their society their lives are linked to the entire world including america and the west and the other countries so so i think independence between these two countries and among all the nations of the world. speak to peace.
9:45 pm
we don't have to accept the word of those who can drop threats for sanam is justified the business and profit of war if we recognize there is another superpower. and that's us ordinary people everywhere like the people of. the jesuit island the marshall islands china the united states by speaking out they deliver a warning to all of us can we really afford to be silent.
9:46 pm
from a fresh coastal breeze. to watching the sunset on the australian outback. hello again welcome back to international weather forecast where across south america will watch in one particular storm system the area of low pressure is out here in the atlantic but we do have a cold front that's making its way through southern parts of brazil and with that cold front we do expect to see some severe weather over the next few days it's going to pass through rio bring some very heavy rain showers and a temperature drop once that front passes through the winds are becoming out of the south and it will be less humid few so a nice day there on sunday twenty six degrees a sense here and you'll also be drying out as well but down here towards what is that as we do expect to see maybe twenty one and mostly cloudy conditions across

central america it is going to be very rainy across most of. the depend not looking too bad up here towards the yucatan as well as into cuba partly cloudy conditions for you there but we do expect to see more rain as we go through the rest of the weekend for have ana twenty degrees and for nasa into the bahamas we do expect to see about twenty nine few degrees right there and then here across much of the eastern seaboard of united states well we are watching a nor'easter making its way up here across new york as well as into new england that's going to be some very heavy rain over the next few days and as we go through sunday well the rains will be still a problem especially for boston but for new york we do expect to see a temperature of about thirteen degrees. the weather sponsored by cats on race. that is the perfect formula for authoritarianism and here let me ask you straight up here is the two state solution now and it alike. and there's no way tie up front for tang's. south sudan is one of the last places on earth to harm beginning
9:48 pm
when disease a gruesome affliction that is affected millions injuries to stand out in the world as the only country we do almost all the cases in the uk it is a huge risk with no vaccine and no cure could this disease be on the verge of extinction we know where the problem we know what needs to be done if you don't know what the being lifelines have to slay a dragon on al-jazeera. this is al jazeera. hello and welcome i'm peter w. watching the news our live from our headquarters here in doha coming up in the next sixty minutes saudi arabia says the suspects in the killing of jamal khashoggi will
9:49 pm
be prosecuted in the kingdom despite an extradition request from turkey. seeking peace in syria turkey hosts a meeting with the russian german and french leaders to discuss ways to end the seven year old conflict. israel launches air strikes at dozens of targets in gaza as rockets were fired into southern israel. also ahead a suspended parliament a prime minister sacked an unexpected political standoff in sri lanka. saudi arabia says it will prosecute the suspects in the murder of jamal khashoggi the turkish president had called for the extradition of eighteen saudis accused in the case the saudi foreign minister to be a was speaking in bahrain. on the issue of extradition of the individuals of saudi
9:50 pm
nationals to detain consent to be the investigation since had to have been and they will be prosecuted in tanzania while at the same event the us defense secretary james mattis described the killing as ruthless he said the case was damaging relations between countries across the region when people can speak and be heard calling for peace and for respect for all the terrorists best each of hatred and violence is not embrace with our collective interest in peace and unwavering respect for human rights in mind the murder of jamal khashoggi in a diplomatic facility must concern us all greatly as u.s. secretary of state pompei oh she dated the united states does not tolerate this kind of ruthless action to silence mystica show good journalist through violence the failure of any one nation to adhere to international norms and the rule of law
9:51 pm
undermine regional stability at a time when it is needed most as president trump noted we're going to get to the bottom of it. well that's just the latest developments in the case which began more than three weeks ago now jamal khashoggi entered the saudi consulate in istanbul never to be seen alive again best again to say he was murdered soon after he entered the building shall stratford joins us live now from istanbul charles any reaction there to those comments from the saudi foreign minister. no reaction yet peter but certainly according to sources that we have in the turkish foreign ministry it's expected the president or to one will be bringing up because shows he in a speech at that serious summit that he's being these being held here in istanbul and as you say very much on the world stage was. the germans the french and the russian leaders there. was yesterday's speech by or to one definitely the most see
9:52 pm
if yet demanding to know where the body of course shows he ays and not to veiled threats basically saying that the turks have a lot more information and as we've seen in recent weeks plenty of leaks we understand many of which would be taken from this odio recording an audio recording of course that was obtained by the sun to questionable means days these issues of espionage a volt so certainly analysts are saying what kind of legal traction those kind of recordings could have in a cold but as i say yes the kind of language that mr de wine was using yesterday a very strong one suggesting that it would not be inconceivable that at a time where we do have so much attention and i need to national players here in to
9:53 pm
keep it to dissipate again this summit that we may well see some sort of reaction to those statements from the saudi foreign minister refusing extradition late today during the summit and what should we make of those comments that we've had from james mattis as well. yes you can argue can't you i mean by saying that. the show of the killing of. is a big enough issue to stretton regional stability certainly you speak to analysts about regional stability and they'll point the finger at saudi arabia fairly squarely since since the ascension of certainly the rise to power all of the crown prince mohammed bin solomon they'll tell you about yemen as being something that is a threat to regional stability they'll tell you about the seach on cuts of the saudi laid siege on cuts a little so mention of course study incident with the lebanese prime minister saad
9:54 pm
hariri who it. was actually kate net to tell you d. in saudi arabia last year and forced to resign and it was mr macro and who's here today dissipating in the serious summit who had to get involved in order to result that crisis with prime minister saad hariri i think it's also interesting with respect to you know the comments that is said here calling the media's reaction hysterical. much he sees response almost to that it seems you know that there's a major contrast in that kind of narrative but see saying that it does potentially threaten regional stability and the saudi foreign minister saying the reaction from the media is hysterical it's fair to say basically that the saudis are certainly according to analysts we speak to facing the largest crisis they have faced since the nine eleven attacks where we saw some of the saudi but dissidents in those
9:55 pm
attacks so yeah i mean this issue has miti ses does have potentially huge geo political economic ramifications charles thanks very much. sultan but account is the director of the center full conflict and humanitarian studies at the institute he says the turkish government strategically ramped up the pressure on the saudi government to come clean on what happened to jamal. the discussion now is not about justice to the individuals or a fair trial really in saudi arabia it is it is about what kind of evidence. or darren is holding on the saudis and clearly from the confidence in which he speaks he the turkish authorities have been dropping on the consulate and possibly in other installations across turkey and for him it's a huge thing to admit to that or to use that evidence partly because it may not be
9:56 pm
admissible in the court but most importantly because it will compromise his own sources and his own structures in terms of intelligence because if he is spying on saudi arabia he's clearly spying on lots of others in a given the circumstances in a joke at the moment so what he's doing is trying to get the saudis to admit to what happened step by step he started successfully by getting them to admit to a murder and i suspect that's happened sort of by talking to president trump and president trouble interfered and then they admitted to murder then you got them to admit to how he was killed in the sense that they had two different conflicting stories and they are so now that we have now is that we don't know how he was killed exactly and now he's after the body and this is really the very basic and the real problem i think of that so decide and this is why i'm surprised when i was talking about history of the media it is him it's the saudis are allowing them the space to operate for so long it's more prolonging this. let's wrap up some of the
