6:22 am
looking to advance its interest in the east singapore, her 1st step on a tour of the indo pacific region where concerns are being raised of increasing chinese influence the united states. beijing continues to coerce to intimidate and to make claims to the vast majority of the south china sea. these unlawful claims have been rejected by the 2016 arbitron tribunal decision. and beijing actions continued to undermine the rules based order and threaten the sovereignty of nations. i speak to florence louis has in column poor lawrence, interesting that the vice president began her dress talking about i found the stone . that's right, and this is something that she really has to address. i think there will probably
6:23 am
be questions about us commitment and credibility and keeping its foreign policy promises and other regents following. the collapse of, of gone is done. so this is something that she had to address and she talked about the evacuation methods and she talked about the u. s. efforts in getting people out of that and getting people to safety. and then she went on to talk about the real reason for the trip, and that is to reaffirm us commitment to in the pacific region and more success, more specifically, a free and open india pacific region. now her speech really the key highlights of her speech on tuesday, very much along the same lines of what she talked about in a news conference. on monday, she talked about the u. s. being here for the long term because they see the in the pacific region as important, not only for us in terms of security, but also economically. she talked about how she believed that this is a region that's, that is going to make history. that is a region which is already very important and it's going to increase it important in the future. and but quite different. what was quite different from her speech on
6:24 am
tuesday compared to what she talked about on monday, was that she specifically named china as being a threat to the international rules based order. and china's actions in the south china sea. as being a threat to the sovereignty of other nations. now we know that china has laid claim to a vast parts of the south china sea. it's not the on the claim and there are other countries in se, asia and tie one also claiming other parts of the south china sea. and china's actions in the last few years have been a lot more assertive in staking these claims, ranging from building military and relations on islands. and i live in the south china sea to increasing confrontations with other vessels at sea. no, she didn't name these actions, but she did talk about china's actions being really confrontational. and what she mentioned was that the though isn't here to make nations choose between the us and china instead it once it's committed to having
6:25 am
a free and open region. and that includes freedom of navigation in the south china sea. it doesn't want countries to have to choose between china and the u. s, but it once need, but once the waterways to be open because this is an important trading route. and then she also talked about how the u. s. partnership is for the long term, and it's also not just in terms of economy. the u. s. she said, has an interest in making sure people are safe. and she talked about us donating vaccines to contain the spread of corona virus to bring it into the pandemic. and that's what she talked about, that the u. s. is here for the long term, to offer itself as a counterweight to china's rising influence. many thanks to that, florence, louis that for us in kuala lumpur, tennessee as president, has extended the suspension of parliament until further notice nearly a month after taking on emergency powers case said sac, the prime minister took over public prosecutions. of politicians froze parliament last month. his critics labeled at a qu, but side said,

6:27 am
most of the time fuel is not available. the reason for this crisis is that living on is an economic turmoil. a few months ago, the government decided to subsidize fuel in order to avoid a social explosion. but now the central bank says it has run out a foreign currency reserve. the government subsidies policy has been criticized because what has happened is that a black market has been created and many are smuggling cheap fuel and it's a neighboring period. the government is trying to call the crisis by gradually lifting subsidies, but it is not working soft. yeah. measures are not the solution has the law, which holds political power, along with this allies in lebanon, is now planning to import fuel from iran. it's a decision that has been criticized because important iranian oils could lead to
6:28 am
sanctioning the state as well. and just this is going to allow you to know that the state is not involved, but at the end of the day is part of the system. and many are criticizing this new ways to show that that they are not part of the problem has been portrays itself as outside the state. when, along with its allies, they control the state. many will say the own way for the sustainable solution is for those who hold the little part to politicians agree to carry out reforms to fight corruption. structural reforms needed to resolve lebanon's deep economic crisis. but doing that would mean that these political parties in one way or the other are committing political suicide because they lose their control over the states. a new initiative is helping bring a little bit of joy to the lives of children in gaza. a cinema boss has rolled into town and has come with a message of hope julian wolf has been taking a look one by one these children climbing stairs, garz's, new cinema bus,
