12:22 pm
kashmir continues to rise. also televised sport but on which screen younger people are increasingly tapping into the world of streaming services not to mention in sports so where does pay t.v. face him is it still the savior of cash strapped sports or is it killing off the nation one. and will take you to bangladesh to see how traditional farming practices are offering solutions to the modern problem of climate change. you have seen in the past few weeks the increasing tension between india and pakistan 2 nuclear powered neighbors this was of course after india's prime minister narendra modi ended 7 decades of autonomy in kashmir we're actually not looking at that this way but rather india's defense spending because benny unrest over kashmir does give us pause. let's go through this bit by bit the last time the 2 nations clashed a pakistani war plane blew up an aging indian mig 21 out of the sky one which had
12:23 pm
been updated with western technology modi has been criticized for delaying the delivery of new planes a deal to acquire 126 jets was about to be signed off back in 2015 but he cancelled the order instead he struck his own deal for $36.00 referrals with $8700000000.00 a deal which led to allegations of corruption the shooting down of the make there raise other questions about india's aging arsenal most notably because of the way india is seen particularly by the us as a bulwark to rising china but the problem is india isn't spending as much as china or on defense and probably with good reason it's got other priorities things like poverty reduction education and health care so let's pause there and think about india and china side by side on this defense spend now beijing's defense budget is huge 175400000000 dollars and 2019 and some analysts actually reckon it could be
12:24 pm
higher if you take into account the acquisition of new equipment in contrast india's defense budget just a 3rd of beijing's coming in at 62000000000 however india has been rapidly spending money in the past few years to update its walky or at least in 2018 it was the world's 4th biggest spender. exactly what is india spending on well here are some of the big ticket upgrades currently underway india wants to order $140.00 new aircraft worth $15000000000.00 and it's ask the likes of boeing and lockheed and saab to make a pitch at the 5 percent of the aircraft are to be made in india as it steps up security in the indian ocean the governments in the market for 6 missile warships and other vessels with $2200000000.00 and washington one like this one but india spending $5000000000.00 on buying russia's s $400.00 missile defense system plus another $5000000000.00 on helicopters warships and other gear but here are the thoughts of some defense analysts is it really in india's interest to buy equipment
12:25 pm
from the likes of the united states and russia to maintain an independent military style should it not ramp up its own industry as part of make in india campaign which really is pretty much been a failure so far remember india does have an independent space program for example and it's a successful one it's about to make a controlled landing on the moon so the money and the will to spend are both there so let's get some answers to some of these questions we've raised joining us on skype from chennai is arjun srikumar he is a senior aerospace and defense consultant for us and sullivan and it's nice to have you with us out of june you know i think about say india's space program which has been massively successful and it put a lot of money into it for it to be successful i wonder if defense needs to be sort thought of in the same way going to throw some more money into it. toiling a lot of money to do it is absolutely necessary. you know budget documents art and
12:26 pm
art all the various indicate their thoughts any effect of this so you need to go beyond the quantum of money you don't need to weigh into defense and look at how much money is what that puts capital acquisition and also look at the m. on the underspend that's there in the us by objects so if you look at the capital expenditure component of india the defense budget is usually haulers at around 3436 bust and judge and if you look at the understand it has been steadily increasing or the year us up so this sore points to the fact that there are deeper problems especially that stress big 2 procurement processes that needs to be corrected or it's to become more effective. also if you look at indian defense budgets and after all the revenue
12:27 pm
expenditure component the pensions and that go on for inflation you find that the crew all of a what the past few years has not been all that much to be honest i just want to look at some specifics with you near the deal for the with the original deal for the. jets i think it was $126.00 of them and the majority of them would actually be built in india. that's not happening and you knew think about narendra modi's famous made in india pledge which he wants the the 2 things don't don't go together . that is true to an extent but. you need to look at this in a couple of spit of the busy of the 1st question here is that op just using the procurement numbers to go to 6 from harvard and greenness 6 is that
12:28 pm
going to affect the operation of the thick to this office in good air force that yes op but. i think that's just one part of the story here there's a lot of book here and that's going to be no end up especially for eric clapton's in the future due to cater to all these deficiencies in terms of number of platforms addressing the 2nd part of your question jericho mug on whether it's in line with it make in india. if you analyze the detail up there is a clause that says that there is 0 there's an offset process but since the $50.00 cent of the contract value has to be invested in carrying defense. items that so this is from an indian company are going to want to bring a bit of geopolitics into this now and i'm going to leave kashmir out of it for now
12:29 pm
because i think that's a whole a huge issue on its own but just more widely you know i think the united states for example would like to see india as some sort of counterweight in the region to the likes of china that would involve again a lot of spending from india wouldn't it. bell exactly you're spot on camera if you look at shane used spending in the us military it's more than 3 days of work. and yes pants up but. and the u.s. is planning to use india as a go and of aid in its ships extract she bought it to be capable of going to of it india has to foster back its arguments and reduce our in obsolescence that it's in its forces india can art gone to china by a number of us but what it can do is it get modernized its forces
12:30 pm
it knowledge and one step knowledge of that act as force multiplier is a trend that we that we see in global defense is that there is a lot of commercial off the shelf technology that be migrated from commercial defense to improve operational efficiencies to improving to intelligence surveillance reconnaissance tactic and then books etc and india has a very poor fish and id industry and a large number of technology driven small and medium enterprises that can be leveraged deadlock spoke bitch taste defense systems that can multiply operational capabilities and at the same keep up costs and offer dependencies no and just pushing things out a little further india has this long held relationship with with russia going back to cold war times and now you have the purchase of the famous base 400 defense
12:31 pm
systems how does that sort of play into things further again i have to bring the united states back into it because of all the geopolitical tensions between all these players it doesn't border but for any nation especially india to create a dependency trap and it comes to your defense but your arguments. are so on it's a vice meanwhile yes it's of light ice open and all the. so. unself maximizing what it can get. so up india is going to be here shoosh defense market over the next 56 years it already it's 5 a lot more defense programs will be signed in the future and there's going to be a lot of competition between the u.s. and russia in the market and i think what the indian forces loyal is to get the best of all was. not being locked into
12:32 pm
dependency traps or join it's been a pleasure talking to you thank you so much for your time. moving on now and the trumpet ministration unusually has taken a step back from imposing more tariffs on china they were due on september 1st but washington doesn't want to see price increases in the run up to christmas and i know it's meant finally that u.s. consumers are bearing the brunt of the trade war but the collateral damage from the trade war is also being felt globally chilly for example regarded as latin america's most stable economy has actually seen a shop rise in unemployment latin america editor listen newman has been looking at the impact from santiago. for nearly 3 months 55 year old. has been going out every day looking for a job the joins the queue of disemployment agency hoping like the rest to secure
12:33 pm
work as a housemaid a job that used to be easy to find but no longer nothing about on me if i don't work i can't pay for my rent my bills my food without a salary how can i survive for me it's essential that the director of the agency says the number of chileans looking for work is skyrocketing. last week i was that employment fair before 85 percent of candidates were immigrants now it's 5050 that means that a lot more people are looking for this kind of work for the 1st time so we are trying to train in places with. the sharp rise in unemployment is just one of the direct consequences of the escalating trade dispute between the u.s. and china. the price of copper chillies main export has fallen 17 percent this year the value of the chilean pisot regarded as one of the most stable in latin america has dropped to its lowest.
