that urge to keep swiping through your twitter feed. that's design. the way we all click, i agree to the terms and conditions that's designed, and most of us never even give it a 2nd. and actually, that's designed as what ali riggs blue is, how designers are manipulating behavior in the final episodes, all hail the algorithm on josefina ah, a new partnership to bring nuclear power submarines to the pacific. the u. s. u k. and australia's latest attempt to counter china's influence in the region. ah, hello, molly. this is al jazeera life from coming up. the philippine government says that

when cooperates with the i c. c. investigation, i said the cold war on drugs, french special forces say they've killed isolate regional leader in west africa. the hell region. the basic launches, his 1st tourist crew for 3 day trip to space. ah . the u. k and the u. s. have agreed to help australia develop nuclear power submarines on the new partnership that calling locus seen as a way to counter china's growing influence in the asia pacific region. the deal involved cooperation on fiber and underwater defense as well as artificial intelligence technology. why can i have this report from washington? 3 nation. it was an unusual tell you 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 1958. 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 of orcus 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 power submarines and it is a momentous decision for any nation to acquire this formidable capability and perhaps equally momentum for any other state to come to it said she 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. indeed, the world depends on a free and opening up a specific enduring and flourishing and decades of head. the announcement came only, alas, off the north and south korea conducted miss altis, hugh and around looking up tension in the region. and just ginger says 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 us 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. while the lines also comes at a low point in time between australia and china, malcolm davis is a senior analyst out, the australian strategic policy institute. he says, the relationship can only get worse. is really important because the 1st thing it should be seen as is an anchor for us commitment in 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 us and the u. k. to give women are committed to maintaining a pre and i've been in the pacific region and counter balancing and deterring arising. china. secondly, from an australian perspective, this really elevates our role in the region. the fact that we're getting nuclear power submarines i think gives us much more capable naval forces. the mom has the floor and allows us to be a strategic partner to the us in the u. k and play a strategic role in the region. china's in tampa, president, she's in pain, is to m u. s. strategic privacy in the region and impose its own sphere of influence on the, on the region. and the strategy is not prepared to sit back and allow its security interests. all the interests of his pop is in the region to be traveled over by. so it's not a case of us trying to mend fences. we're basing we done,

we're not about bending the need facing what we need to see if we're trying to take a more pragmatic and sensible, constructive approach to its relationship in the region. well, details are emerging about wednesday is miss are launched by north korea state media say a new train mounted missile system was tested. images released by the k cna news agency appear to show a missile being fired from a trained to ballistic missiles, reportedly flew 800 kilometers before landing in the sea off north korea, east coast. the philippine government says it won't cooperate with investigation by the international criminal court into it so called war on drugs. the i c. c, a proved inquiry into president rodrigo to take a campaign on wednesday. prosecutors will look into allegations of widespread human rights abuses of the country. the chief presidential legal council says

investigators will not even be allowed to enter the country when it comes to the international criminal court. the reaction and the official statements coming from the philippine government has always been consistent that he does not recognize the jurisdiction of the i c. c over president through legal that there at the end of the government. and that he will not allow independent investigators to come into the country to pro cases. now the philippine government has officially withdrawn from the room statute as a signatory in 2019 but the i c. c believes it has jurisdiction since the 1st complaint filed against president through the good that there they by families of the drug war victims happened in 2017. now president rodrigo there launched the so called war on drugs in 2016. even. it started, well, he was campaigning as president of the republic. the philippine government figures

put the death toll at around $6000.00 filipino skilled in the police lead operations. but white groups believe that the number could go as high as 30000. and even though the philippine government dismissive all of these developments at the hague and even though the pre trial chamber meets the time before witnesses are asked to testify, or even a warrant of arrest will be issued against president would be good that there and his allies the families of the victims already believe that this is a moral victory. this is a step towards justice. it's something that they have been praying for and hoping for for many years. and they say, even though the president remains popular here in the philippines, he holds the distinction of being the only president to be tried in the international criminal court for crimes against humanity in lebanon. has bala says a shipment of fuel from iran has arrived to help ease devastating shortages. the

group says 20 ton could trucks and to through the syrian border hezbollah plans to share the fuel free of charge, with state hospitals and nursing homes that run private generators. a new lebanese government was sworn in on saturday, promising to deal with the worst of the economic crisis. let's go tuesday nikoto, whose lie for us in beirut is in a 1st. can you explain the involvement of hezbollah in lebanon's fuel crisis? well, hezbollah say today, the reason why it is bringing sanctions, us sanctions, iranian fuel. and these are pull up on is to help alleviate the fuel and diesel shortage in the country. just look behind me. this is the daily struggle of the lebanese. we can't even film up closer because there's so much there's so much tension. fuel is scarce, there's not enough dollars to buy fuel. and this has also created

a black market. so in the words of the secretary general, the reason why it's bringing in the shipment is to quote and humiliation. but there is no doubt that policy is played. the law has turned a crisis, a humanitarian crisis, into an opportunity, telling its supporters as well as other lebanese, but it is not part of the problem. it is not part of the corrupt state. it's one to maintain really for the ones who are really, who have been facing a lot of parts. but the bottom line is, has well, that is part of government has but it's part of parliament. so it's critic say why or why are you doing this? why are you exposing levan onto the possibility of sanctions? why don't you just help reform the ailing energy sector and build a safe for her below really is being accused of undermining staple. but it's not just that it's jill politics law and challenging the united states, telling them that we can break the iranian sanctions. we can break the u. s.

sanctions and really taking advantage of the timing because the by them administration now is trying to restart the negotiations with iran on a nuclear deal. so. so at the end of the day, they're not as the u. s. respond has so far been muted. so given where you are standing right now, what is the domestic reaction to the arrival of this fuel mixed reaction. its supporters are saying that the has below is saving the people. it's bringing in iranian fuel to break the black market, for example, because right now there is the black market. these people are waiting for hours just by a subsidized fuel, but there is a black market, but it's called it costs a lot of money for people. 80 percent of the population who are now poor so, so no doubt that they're seeing this as a positive move, especially that has been saying that it's going to provide diesel to hospitals to

bakeries to orphanages. but has the law, has a lot of critics and domestic opponents here who feel that it's not only undermining the state that is not allowing a state to be built. it is part of the system. it always tries to show that it is not parts of the system, but it has long been accused of protecting a corrupt, corrupt system. so definitely mixed reaction. the husband's saying that it's going to donate the the 1st shipment, but the secretary general has been talking about the possibility of 5 or 6, or even 7 shipments, which somebody fear that they're trying to ensure that you run, enters the markets in lebanon. many thanks for that. they don't hold that for us lives about petrol station in beirut. israel's defense minister says he's willing to accept the new us negotiated nuclear deal with iran, reflecting a major shift in israeli policy. and again, says israel accept speed by then administration's assets to get back to an

agreement. but he warned washington to have a viable plan b, that includes more economic pressure on to her. on if talks fail, the former prime minister benjamin netanyahu strongly opposed the 2015 nuclear agreement. fraud says that special forces have killed the leader of ice, fill in the greater sahara region. i'm not, while it all stuff raleigh was behind the killing of 6 french charity workers and then my jury and try that last year. president manju micro, hey, will be operation as a success in france and fight against groups in the west african, the hail region s k to nicholas hunkers my 1st in deco. so nicholas, how significant is the killing of this man? well, it is significant more so is the significance of the date when this was announced. we've heard from the french defense ministry that this neutralizing of also ari as,

as the, as a matter of describes it happened in august, but it's only now that there were noun thing, the official death of the head of the i. so the silly in the region, this worry, was behind us attacked, as you mentioned, against american forces in the year, but also against french forces and african molly and forces on the ground in the tri border areas. burkina faso molly and the share he is significant figure. he was part of an other arm group before that might be to who was responsible for the attack on a hotel and bama co. but before that, he was part of new joe, which was a group that took over the north of molly. so this is a significant significant attack, at least from from the french's perspective. the timing of it is interesting because just yesterday we heard of molly the new molly in authority led by, by, by the military. they're wanting to,

to engage with russian mercenary to reinforce their position in molly and try to fight off the arm groups. now france has said that that is unacceptable. if that was the case, then they will pull out altogether. we heard from the german defense minister yesterday thing that they would do the same. we know that the russian mercenary group bagginger is present in the central african republic and there's been talks and discussions happening in molly. but nonetheless, this is a significant announcement by the french to try to bolster that they are the one there to ensure security management course. quick to point out that he did. so thanks to the help of the african forces on the ground. and also the help of the united states this ahead of a conference with the african leaders in france to re discuss the military operations in this health. moline many thanks about nicholas huck. that 1st indica . still ahead on algebra. the european union unveiled new plans to
