sell their possessions 2 foods on the table, plus to be clear. i believe larry now her and i also use an entire system in a board and perpetrated his view american gymnast doing the f. b i for turning a blind going to sexual abuse. teen dr. marinez ah, the leaders of us, history alia, and the u. k. have announced and you in the pacific security line seen as a strategy to can to china's influence in the regions the orca partnership will see corporation in areas including cyber and underwater defense. and official intelligence failure also gets new nuclear power submarines. the british and

american help so far the us only share such technology with the u. k. august will bring together our sailors, our scientists, and our industries maintain and expand our engine, military capabilities and critical technology such as cyber artificial intelligence, quantum technologies, and undersea domains. now as the key project under archive, we are launching consultations with australia acquisition of conventionally our nuclear powered submarine. we're opening a new chapter in our friendship. and the 1st task of this partnership will be to help us trailer acquire a fleet of nuclear powered submarines emphasizing of course the submarines in question will be powered by nuclear reactors. not armed with nuclear weapons. and our work will be fully in line with our non proliferation obligations. the 1st

major initiative of august will be to deliver a nuclear power submarine flight prescribed. i have the next id months we will work together to seek to determine the best way to achieve this. this will include an intense examination of what we need to do to exercise our new killer stewardship responsibilities here in australia. let's get one from mike hannah. he joins his wife from washington, dc. it might just tell us a bit more about this new defense packed well, it certainly is a wide ranging alliance. it ranges from aspects of artificial intelligence, for example, cyber technology, and under water events in particular. and the most tangible form of the alliance that is going to be seen is providing australia with nuclear power submarines. now the last time the u. s. shed at nuclear propulsion technology was with the u. k.

back in 1958. now, australia is going to become a member of that tiny club as well with both the u. k and the u. s. helping it develop a nuclear power submarine fleet, which is going to have a massive impact on the indo pacific region, particularly with regard to the strategic conflict that is continuing the the us and u. k. already maintain a significant naval presence in the region. but injecting into that nuclear power, australian submarine is certainly going to ratchet up the whole situation and actually bring this new cold war under the water as well as on top of it. and mike, that had been announcement between the, the us leaders of the u. s. u k and the united states, they're all very careful not to mention china. they do seem like the elephant in the room here. i see. think this is likely to effect relations between

washington emerging a very large elephant indeed. and you are correct to mention that not one of them said the name china during the addresses that in veiling this particular lions. but there's little doubt, according to most analysts, that the motivating force behind forging this alliance with focus on the specific is what these western nations regard. as of china's expansionism, particularly it's control of the in the pacific, some parts of which it claims that its own particular areas. and there's already been a reaction from china, the embassy here in washington, as issued an angry statement saying, and i quote, country should shake off the cold war mentality and i do logical prejudice. but there are other international ramifications as well. there's been absolute theory from france, which had concluded to deal with australia to provide some 90 conventional college

submarines that belong being a problem. but that particular project. but now france is saying that the alliance has cost all its relations with brands in terms of turning its back on that deal that the problems had signed with australia. so that's one international impact. another international impact is going to be very important to, and that is that a country like iran is liking to argue that it was straight. you can use nuclear power technology. so to can it, if it does not country contravene nuclear proliferation treaties. so you are going to have a situation where iran will lucky very strongly that it has the right to use nick nuclear technology. it's submarines. so many more aspects to this deal are likely to come forward, but it isn't alliance. it's going to have a massive impact on the strategic says of that particular region. ok, mike hannah, that bring is the very latest in washington dc. thank you. might. laurens cor, was

a former us assistant secretary of defense and retired navy captain. he's currently a senior fellow at the center for american progress and says that this is a significant step for a number of reasons. i think 2 things. one is to send a message to china that if they keep being aggressive in the south china sea and, you know, taking over more and more of it, they're not, they're going to confront not just the united states with the united kingdom and australia. it's also something that we did in the cold war when we had what we called and this united states, australia, and new zealand together to combat what we saw the soviet expansionism in the, in the, in the region. so basically, i think this is to send a message from china, and i also think the timing is appropriate given what has just happened in

afghanistan. people concerned about is the united states still going to be there? we need it. and the other thing is we supposedly did not check with our allies enough ganesh, than before we went out. this is a signal we're still working with. the british, basically the united kingdom is the biggest naval power in europe sell to have them . and of course the united kingdom, so long history of involvement in the, in the, in the area. so i think it's important to get them involved with this as, as well. and again, it makes it trying to think twice before they keep trying to control parts of the of the, the south china sea. well, earlier on, wedding stable north and south korea conducted ballistic missile task just hours apart. the sites military successfully launched myself on the water that creates

the 1st country without nuclear weapons to develop such a system as rockman point reports. this highly provocative miss l test was carried out while china's foreign minister one year within sol for tools with his south korean counterparts with north korea high on their agenda. but of course, we all want to contribute to the peace and stability of the korean peninsula. for example, not only in north korea, but also other countries are conducting military actions. so we should have all parties make joint efforts to region dialogues. this was wangs last stop of a foreign nation tour of east asia, as china looked to counter the increasing influence of the us in the region and north korea risks angering beijing. with this latest launch, south career res, hoping china will use this configurable influence over north korea to bring it back to the negotiating table with each missile lodge, but seems less likely and shows even china is control over its neighbor isn't

limited. north korea has also claimed to have tested a new type of long range cruise missile over the weekend. and it comes after a military parade through the streets of young gang last week facing an economic crisis from international sanctions. and from the pandemic combined with food shortages for damaging storms, it seems the show of military muscle is intended as much of a morale boost at home. as showing the world, it is still a force to be reckoned to it. and it comes as south korea develops its own military hardware. on wednesday, it successfully testified a ballistic missile from a submarine becoming only the 7th country and the world to master the technology. it also announced advances in high powered ballistic and supersonic cruise missiles, as both careers continue to develop their articles. robert bride al jazeera sol. well more details are emerging about wednesday is miss aw launch by north korea.

a potential assault like chinese bosses. aging continues to, i want its own territory because unification is inevitable. the taiwanese leader saying, when disagrees, she says the island isn't independent state and has rejected china's one country to systems proposal. i think it is that the intention of the taiwanese autonomy to send a signal to the chinese auto reply that they would not surrender or would not be pressure to go back to their negotiation table. whatever unification. cy has made modernizing taiwanese military a priority. much of the force relies on equipment provided by the united states, its main security ally. the biden administration sent an unofficial delegation to the island in april. and his mulling over allowing its de facto embassy washington to change its name to the more official sounding taiwan representative office. the

moves have inflamed tensions between washington and they may well the u. s. should abide by the one china principle and the refrain from sending wrong signals to taiwan independence. in august, china's people's liberation army conducted its own drove near the island. its flight gets breached high, wants air force defense zone on an almost daily basis. chinese analysts say type pays combat capabilities, cannot stand up, debate ging, ever since. the beginning of the 1960s china mainland already had sufficient military power to take over to one by force. china has decided not to do that. and even today, china is still talking about peaceful unification. presidency, however, has not ruled out taking the island by 4 pages has removed the limits on his rule and many he believed he wants to make reunification with taiwan, a part of his personal legacy. taiwan has been given separately since the chinese

civil war in the 900 forty's. washington stance of strategic ambiguity means there is no guarantee it will. a type pe should be ging attack as tension build over the taiwan strait. the islands population of $23000000.00 are holding their breath and hoping the status quo will be maintained. katrina, you al jazeera paging. european union has unveiled plans to boost the blocks military capabilities. the collapse of the afghan government and hasty nato withdraw the switch to e leaders to the current site. the alliance for security bumps proposals for a joint european force, half based off position from some member states. so many cane has war from berlin for much of the 20th century. and certainly for all of this century, there have been loud voices raising the question of what europe can do more to guarantee its own security,

its own defense provision. and that sort of thing. the central question being, what role should you play, what role shouldn't need to play? but now the president of the european commission of fund line has spoken about what she thinks is the way ahead or your opinion is a unique security provider. there will be mission where nato, all the, your united nations will not be present. but where you up should be. you can have the most advanced forces in the world. but if you never prepared to use them of what use are they? what does has helped us back until now is not just a shortfall of capacity. it is the lack of political will. it's an interesting time here in germany following those comments from most of the fund deadline because 2 of the leading contenders to replace angular medical as chancellor have spoken about the need for an enhanced relationship with the united states,

its presence in nature and its presence in europe, so clear commitment and support from these leaders, these potential chancellors for the idea, both of anchoring nature in europe, but also enhancing an e u. military side of things. other questions might be raised. what about the united kingdom, which has always ruled against and rallied against the idea of an e u military? what concerns might it see here? lots of questions right now. not so many answers. us olympic gymnasts of accused the f. b, i of turning a blind eye to sexual abuse. they suffered at the hands of former team, dr. larry nasir for athletes, gave emotional testimony to a us senate judiciary committee. she returns, he has more the hearing will come in order officially. this was a hearing about the f, b. i's mishandling of the investigation into the sexual abuse of women and girls treated by former olympics team, dr. larry nasa. but as soon as testified, it was clear, their goal was to go much further. to be clear,

i believe larry now sir. and i also believe in an entire system that enabled and perpetrated his abuse. nasa has been sentenced up to 235 years in prison, but a department of justice report found the f. b. i had been alerted to his abuse in 2015 and didn't take the allegation seriously. didn't even let local authorities, which meant nasa continued molesting athletes when the allegations were finally investigated. officials minimize the athlete suffering. i told them i walked the halls of tokyo hotel at 2 am, and only 15 years old. i began crying at the memory over the phone and there was just dead silence. i was so shocked at the agents, silence, and disregard for my trauma. after that minute of silence, he asked is that all once nasa's behavior was exposed to agents lying to the d. o j inquiry into what are gone so wrong, they haven't been prosecuted to their conduct controversially. the department of

justice refused to testify about why that was the case, but the survivors of the abuse. this is just the latest example of a broken system, not just of the f, b i and the department of justice, but also at usa gymnastics and the u. s, and then pick in parent, a big committees whom they said did everything they could to cover up the abuse building, prosecuting those involved and the cover up the survivors want a full, independent investigation. nothing should be off limits, it should go back decades and that has not been done. and it's been something that we've been asking for for years and years. and so i personally would like to see all 3 organizations completely investigated and the scope of it matters because until we know all the facts, it's just guesswork. also speaking of a hearing, the current director of the f b i. he wasn't in charge during the investigation into nasa. i'm sorry for what you and your families have been through the allegations raised by well known world class athletes are not taken seriously by the f. b i what hope to other

victims of sexual assault. it was clear from their testimony that these 4 lim pm's feel that the official response to their abuse has not been sufficient. she ever tennessee al jazeera capitol hill. a former kosovo military commander has gone on trial at a special court in the netherlands. sell him, stuffing the keys to the murder, torture, cruel treatment, and arbitrary detention of civilians. during the conflict with survey in the 1990 s, that baba reports january 1st night. he's accused of terrible crimes during castillo's war for independence from serbia in the late 1900 ninety's. but as he became the 1st to stand trial in his special tribunal in the netherlands, sally, most of or rejected the charges telling the judge i am not guilty of accounts brought here before me by this gustavo office view. the good stuff was in april 999 must f, o was

a commander in the rebel costs of liberation army. the kaylay. the prosecution says he was responsible for the torture of at least 6 people, and the murder of one person added attention compounds. it says the victims were accused by cause of those ethnic albanian rebels of collaborating with serbs or not supporting the kaylay these people. they were not enemies of the state of kosovo. they were not spies. they were fellow community members, innocent, kosovar, albanians whose only crime was to be viewed for one reason or another as an impediment to the kaylay in certain of its leaders. the cost of a war is believed to have killed more than $13000.00 people. it ended in 1999 after the nato alliance carried out 11 weeks of air strikes against serbian forces. a former deputy prime minister and 5 top former serbian military and police officials were found guilty of war crimes committed during the conflict. that was

at the un tribunal for the former yugoslavia. but on wednesday, the prosecutor said the salad most f. a hearing was a milestone for this cause which has taken 6 years to bring anyone to trial. that was one of the failings of the international criminal tribunal for, for me was lobby not to be able to really sentence any cost of liberation, army soldiers and commanders where it was clear that some war crimes had been committed not to the same scale and intensity as those by the serbian army that it's quite clear, but they had also committed war crimes. the new courts activities are highly sensitive in kosovo, where the former rebel commanders still dominate political life. in june 2020 than president hashem patchy was indicted for his alleged role in nearly a 100 murders. while he led the k l. a. he's currently being held in the hague, awaiting trial. nadine baba al jazeera egypt says, see if you hear him

from that meeting to nisha has been trying to get a statement ever since. and to get to this point. they included the coffee that the statement does not in any way set precedents for other water disputes, other trans boundary water disputes in particular. so the reaction to this is a bit mixed. the egyptian foreign ministry released a statement saying that it was a welcome push and important push that forces ethiopia back to the table. but ethiopia says that water disputes are not under the purview of the security council and any claims made as a result of the statement will not be followed ah, era. and these are the headlines, the u. s. history alia, and the u. k. have an artist and new security partnership.
