but as a position leader, alexia valley remains in prison, and to finalize a band from taking pod could do to the kremlin, be wide open for another clean sweet fruit in supporting the personal coverage on al jazeera ah, the u. s. u. k. and australia unveiled a new defense for the in the pacific region wondering, found that the multi $1000000000.00 submarine did. ah, hello, darren jordan, this is the right guy from also coming up. the international criminal court will investigate alleged atrocities in the philippines war on drugs. but the government says it was corporate a month from a taliban take over, cobble guns, sell their possessions to put food on the table.

and making history for civilians are sent into orbit spaces. rocket with no professional astronauts on board. ah. the u. k. in the us and agreed to help australia develop nuclear power submarines under a new partnership, calling the in the pacific security lives as seen as a way to counter china's influence in the region. the deal involved corporation in cyber and underwater defense and artificial intelligence. my kind of has more now from washington d. c. l 3 nation committee. it was an unusual prelude to a bite in white house briefing video extolling the depth and length of the relationship between the 3 countries. the only time the u. s. a shared it's nuclear propulsion technology was with the u. k. back in 1900. 50 it. now,

a trailer will become part of the exclusive club in an alliance, labeled, the us president joined remotely by the other 2 leaders. the 1st major initiative, a bogus will be to deliver a nuclear power submarine. flight frustrated. i have the next id months we will work together to seek to determine the best way forward to achieve this. only a handful of countries possess nuclear powered submarines and it is a momentous decision for any nation to acquire this formidable capability and perhaps equally momentous for any other state to come to its aid. and president biden confirmed, you emerging us strategy in the, in the pacific region allies. we need to be able to address both the current strategic environment in the region and how it may evolve. because the future, the reach of our nations in indeed the world depends on a free and opening up

a specific, enduring and flourishing the decades of head. dan osmond came only alas, off the north and south korea conducted miss altis, hugh and around looking up up tension in the region just interested in bundle. china was quick to make a call for restraint. amidst mounting international criticism, the word china was not mentioned by any of the leaders during the washington announcement. but there's no doubt that what is regarded as chinese expansion isn't . is a motivating force for the formation of this new alliance. and clearly it would appear china think so as well. the chinese embassy here in washington has been quick to issue a statement, saying, countries should shake off the cold war mentality. an ideological prejudice the u. k and the u. s. have long maintained a significant naval and air presence in the in the pacific region. in competition

with china, the injection of australia, nuclear power submarines could well intensify this new cold war under the water as well as above. mike hannah 0, washington. well, the new alliance covers a multi $1000000000.00 deal that from signed 5 years ago to make submarines frustrating yet, and a joint statement with the defense minister. the foreign minister john even said the american choice to push aside a european ally and partner like france to my structural partnership with australia at a time. we're facing unprecedented challenges in the in the pacific region shows a lack of coherence that france cannot acknowledge and regret its bringing malcolm davis. the siena list of the australian, the strategic policy institute. jones with skype from cambra, malcolm. so a very unhappy france there, but how significant is this new security packet and how effective when it really be encountering china's growing regional influence?

look, it's really important because the 1st thing it should be seen as is an anchor for us commitment into the pacific region, particularly after the withdrawal from afghanistan, there was a lot of concern about the us essentially walking away from its commitments. i think this agreement has repeated does concerns and makes it very clear that the u . s. m a u k. to give a women strangely committed to maintaining a pre and i've been in the pacific region and counter balancing and deterring, arise in china. the secondly, from an australian perspective, this really elevates our role in the region. the fact that we're getting nuclear submarines i think gives us much more capable naval forces. the mom had before and allowed to be a strategic partner to the us in the u. k. and play a strategic role in the region. yeah. and that's an important point to make malcolm because since president biden took off his, he has refocused us foreign policy onto the indo pacific region. but does this

alliance then weaponized, australia is foreign policy in the region. i mean, camera get some shiny new nuclear submarines, but that worsens the already front just relationship between camera and beijing. well, fractious relationship, as you point out, is, is the fault of basing not camera. and that relationship is probably going to continue to work in your respective or whatever we do. because china has, in time time to presentation pain, is to us strategic privacy in the region and impose its own sphere influence on the, on the region. and a strategy is not prepared to sit back and allow its security interests. all the interests of the pop is in the region to be trampled over by shame. so it's not a case of us trying to mend fences. we've seen, we done, we're not about bending the need facing. what we need to see is we're trying to

take a more pragmatic and sensible constructive approach. it's relationship in the region a. malcolm is messy than that. the u. s. the u. k. and australia, a d p, worried about china as military build up in the region. it's already become a flashpoint over territorial disputes. so are you saying that we could see more tensions in the area rather than stability and security, that the alliance is actually promised? yes, i think that even with locus as a stabilizing factored term, the boosting the terrance china isn't going to take this lying down. so i would expect strategic competition intentions to rise and coming years. and the big concern has to be china's intentions towards taiwan in the next few years is going to make a move against taiwan. and how with the u. s. and its allies, including australia, response that malcolm davis really good to get your thoughts. thank you very much. indeed for talking judge 0. thank you bye. now more details are emerging about

been apprehended or false reports from occupied eastern slim. well, up until now the information about the interrogation of these 4 men has largely been in the form of leak to the israeli media. exactly what they've been telling their interrogators. this is the 1st time that we've heard directly, or at least one remove from the men themselves to the voices of their lawyers. because this is the 1st time that the lawyers have access to these 4 men. now my food is the one who's been reported to be the ringleader, the mastermind behind this escape. and that is very much the claim that he's making for himself. it seems saying that it was his idea that this was an operation limited to the 6 men who escaped their being reports, news rarely media this week that there are a suspected 11 prisoners to been involved. he says, no, it was just the 6 and they received no help from the outside as well. also saying that they requested no help from locals in the larger palestinian israeli towns in

the area of northern israel where they were on the run and where they were captured on monday. again, israeli media reports suggesting that they did ask for help and that they, they were informed on by palestinian israeli. is that something that is not being corroborated in the men's testimony to the lawyers? they're saying that they were simply charged upon by police patrols. as for mohammed alada woods cousin, he's saying that the 5 days of liberty were worth the 22 years of being imprisoned. and it was worse, this escape attempt. he's also telling his lawyer that he's being mistreated in the interrogation procedure that he's being kept awake, deprived of sleep deprived until the day before of food and the, the conditions are extremely harsh. and the model of the habit has been subjected to extremely cruel torture. he still is, he was subject to excessive aggression during his detention. he had his head past

against the grain, his head with injured he had an injury above his right. i have not received you medical care up until this moment. he scratches and wounds all over his body. that wasn't part of the escape and the hunt for him. and zachary, as a baby by the occupation forces, he was transferred to nazareth investigation center. after he was detained, there he was interrogated in a way that was extremely terrible. some 20 intelligence officers investigated him in a tiny room. they stripped naked. and we've also heard from the lawyer of zachary who bates, the flatter locks of martyrs brigade leader, the highest profile of these escapees. again, saying that they deliberately avoided palestinian israeli areas of northern israel so as not to incriminate people. and that they were without water for the entire time making do what with what they could in terms of fruit that they found in the fields. his lawyer also saying that he received a broken jaw and broken ribs in his arrest. on the early saturday morning.

of course, there are 2 who remain at lodge. the reports for the remaining 2 have now got into the west bank into their home area in and around jeanine. and that makes it, if true, an extremely difficult in potentially very dangerous recapture attempt if that were carried out by the israeli military. because if there were a fire fight, if there was bloodshed, this could spill over into wider violence. tens of thousands of migraines hoping to reach the u. s. remains stuck in southern mexico. public services in the border. city of tampa. shuler overwhelmed money rapid. i was there and sent us this report . the desperation is growing in pepper. on wednesday, hundreds of migrants mainly from haiti, and central america took to the streets in protest. they're frustrated over a mexican government policy that prevents them from leaving the city. we just want to get out because we're not here to stay. we're just going through. we have no
