inside the sin, a la carte, how part 2 of a 2 part investigation, people and power on al jazeera, ah strong reactions around the world to an unexpected new security alliance between the us britain, this trailer, ah, i'm adrian again. this is our 0 life and also coming up french special forces, so they've killed isolate leader in west africa. so hello region 20 turn. cook trucks, cost $11.00 from syria, bringing desperately needed fuel to a country that's nearly run dry. the philippine government refuses to cooperate

with an international criminal court investigation into its so called war on drugs . ah, china and france are among countries reacting with anger to a new partnership developed in secret between the us, britain at australia, under the pact called orcus. they'll help us try to develop nuclear power submarines. it's seen as a way to count of china, which has condemned the alliance as an extremely irresponsible threat to regional peace and stability. frances also hit out the strength of scrapping a submarine deal in favor of a nuclear power sub from the u. s. going to get a stab in the back. i'll just as my counter reports for washington, 3 nation commit. it was an unusual prelude to a bite in white house briefing video extolling the depth and length for the relationship between the 3 countries. the only time the u. s. a shared at 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 joint remotely by the other 2 leaders. the 1st major initiative, a bogus will be to deliver a nuclear power submarine flight for a strider. 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 a few emerging us strategy in the, in the 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. dan osmond came only, alas, off the north and south korea conducted miss altus hugh and ran up tension in the region. need. 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 the 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. china delivered his latest criticism of the alliance through its foreign ministry, which said the alliance will damage peace and security of the spokesmen suggested that a stranger has shown. it's not really committed to nuclear, non proliferation may war. we are the leon, down the u. k in us are about to export powerful technology to australia. and that shows that they using nuclear exports as a geo political tool. applying double standards, which is extremely responsible, a strategy or is a non nuclear weapon state party to the n p t, and a party to the non nuclear weapons free zone in the southern pacific. now,

importing nuclear power submarine technology with strategic military value on the international community including neighboring countries have raising the question, is commitment to nuclear nonproliferation. china will closely monitor the situation to tell your wife that to our white house correspondent, kimberly, how can, kimberly, what's been the reaction to this new alliance the in the us there's been some concern about it for a number of reasons. first that it feels as if the sort of nuclear proliferation is going in the wrong direction. in other words, when people hear the word nuclear, that's what they focus on. and well, this is nuclear powered submarines not nuclear arms. the nuance is something that seems to be left out when people are mulling over just whether or not this is a good idea. so that's been one of the broad criticisms. one of the other ones is about the technology itself that it is outdated,

that what the united states is helping afraid to acquire is really going to, you know, perhaps healthy united states in terms of profit. but when it comes to security, may not be as useful to australia as it might think. given the fact that it has been largely viewed by many military experts here in the united states. but some of these are just some floating target in the ocean. and as china continues, it sort of development of undersea capabilities that are a thomas and, and drone capability. but that is really the future, not sort of the antiquated technology of the past. when you think about the development of these 1st began in the 1950s. and finally, one of the other major concerns is about the way the united states has conducted this. the fact that this new grew the security group of the u. k. australia and the united states was put together and secret, leaving some nations out,

including france and new zealand. and this isn't really the multilateralism that joe biden promise when he came into office. what does it say about us priorities in the, in the pacific region? well, officially, the united states says, look at this is about making sure that we are positioned to counter the rising influence, particularly in the south china sea of china. but what the concern is, and all of this is whether or not the united states is including everyone who may be affected by this. for example, japan not included in this group. what we know is that this has been a top priority for the obama administration going back 10 years ago when joe biden was the vice president. so this is a carry on of something that he started back a under brock obama. but what's also important to note in all of this is that the concern about china is still very real in the united states and may be escalating.

it's notable that joe biden, when he came into the office, made a point up. i'm doing a lot of the policies of his predecessor, donald trump, but when it comes to china, you left those policies in place. so it shows. c that there is concern. 2 about chinese aggression and as a result we see this escalation by the united states in terms of its security posture. whitehouse corresponded kimberly. how could i live in washington? kimberly many thanks. will britain's private as to breast johnston has been questioned about the packed in parliament is predecessor to resume asked if it could lead the u. k. being dragged into a war with china over taiwan. what are the implications of this pack? the stance that would be taken by the united kingdom of fritz response, should china attempt to invade taiwan, to speak, the kingdom remains determined to defend national law.

and we, that is the strong advice you would give to our friends across the world. and the strong advice that we would give to the, to the government invasion. and as him or of what the french have to say about australia, turning its back on that diesel submarine deal. you know, she was the sign a deal, a deal that is not simply an industrial commercial deal by strategic partnership. and we back truck on as well is back truck in on one's wed. and in terms of jo, politics and international politics is serious. none of cash, buckley in paris, says the union is also unhappy. the words of the french foreign minister joyfully trail, really summing up the sentiments here from fields. it has been stabbed in the back that old strayer has breached his trough, the letter down. the franz also been let down by it's all the allies,

the u. s. and the u. k. also, the australian government re committing to disagreement to buy french submarines just a few weeks ago, says the french foreign minister. so what happened there are many who want onset from australia. they are asking for 30 from the australian prime minister, the scott morrison, and then this deep sense of disappointment in joe biden. joy material again saying that the current washington administration has acted in a trump like manner. trump, who is known for taking a unilateral decision for not consulting allies. well, in this case, a from says it was and consulted. the youth says that it wasn't consulted. afghanistan's acting deputy prime, it is up to got it, but has appeared in a video to deny room. as of his death, speculation had been swelling that he was caught up in a violent confrontation between rival taliban factions. after the formation of the

interim government moisture problem with the military i was traveling from top to so i had no access to the media in order to reject this new. we assure the dentist on nation mature her dane, elders and you not to worry, there's no reason to worry when they came out of harris hash ma, about r as in cobbler says the group is going to great lengths to deny the story. the top of the house thought it for the 1st time, sending high ranking officials to talk to the media about the exactly those reports to have been circulating for quite some time about a vest within the highest command of the taliban. and they said that basically those report was fabricated, and they say that there's an investigation underway to try to find out exactly who's thought of those reports. they say basically the international community from members of the international community plus members of the form of government have been spreading. those reports about violent confrontation between the brother

and hudson. and, and that those device that trickled down the taliban movement, created a huge division authority by things become to the, came to power in 1996. and it's obvious that some of those debates will definitely continue to reverberate in the coming days and weeks and months because 199612001 with a tiny band would weigh in power. what punctuated later by 20 years of a government backed by the international community. now that's already been come to another level. and we are trying to figure out ways to deal with different ethnic groups with the issue of gender issues of how to move forward. what kind of institutions we'd like to have for the future, and how kind of confession should we give to the opposition to be part of this government? but at the same time is the opposite. you're willing to take into account that we are the ones who swept through power and that we are the ones that have the upper

se enough kind of these quite interesting give bass which are now taking place behind closed doors. the everyone is involved, particularly the top issues of the tale, but other things that a likely to further shape the future of a country will get a weather update. next on i was 0, then me one giant leap base tourism or amazon crew is circling the earth right now. space axis, 1st, private trip and all that. ah, it's another beautiful sunny day of 35000 feet. the weather sponsored by cattle airways booted world's best airline of 2021. hello. good to be with you. we have had some persistent rain for west spain golf. calcutta, picking up more than $100.00 millimeters of rain, and diamond harbor pretty close to $200.00 millimeters over the past 24 hours. and

still we've got this weather lingering around, especially for coastal sections of bangladesh. i'm gonna show you this vigorous system. we've been tracking over northern areas of india through pradesh, but on friday we start to see a wind down. so i think we're going to lose all of our red weather alerts for the area. what for the west coast of india, but not at great intensity? next, we're going to southeast asia. we've got some dry spells that we can find here for parts the borneo average. a card has got some storms in the forecast at 32 and we have a flood watch just north of manila because of heavy bands of rain setting up there . here's the latest on sean to it's now on the move. it's going to slam into southern portions of japan, so we've got weather alerts to talk about landside emergency warning for the southeast corner of q. u. also the risk of seen some big waves here. and we got to talk about when, because that will be a factor as while gus up to about 87 kilometers per hour. and places like harrow shima could see more than

a 100 millimeters of rain over the next 24 hours. that's it for me, have a good one. the weather sponsored by castle airways, boated world's best airline of 2021. capturing a moment in time, snapshots of the lives, of the stories provided a glimpse into someone else's. well, we what god, we would be a bite. go to get inspiring documentaries, from impassioned filmmakers. i am the voice of the witness on al jazeera. ah ah,

again, this is out of here, this reminds you of the news this i'll be us. try to bring a fully a new in the pacific security alliance known as oh, chris, it's being seen as part of a strategy to count china. china meanwhile, has criticized the lives of the was that it threatens regional peace and security. aging says that providing australia with nuclear submarines technology will hurt nonproliferation mattress and i've cached on acting deputy private county but has appeared in a video to my room as of his deaf. that was speculation that he's been caught up in a pilot confrontation between rival ton of sanctions. a struggling economy, pi unemployment, poverty and security. just some of the challenges that the taliban face. a month after season control in afghanistan, l 0. come all haida. has asked people in the city of spend bolduc, what changes they want to see. it's another day of life and been bulldog

one month dr. the dollar bond to go. all of a lot, it's done as you're getting the most popular thing right now is that dollar bond flag where people are by and large numbers for the 1st time. and we had to return to our country ravaged by wal mart paper that we spoke to a half day, have big dollar bon, up, back, come out of out of a ways what we want to say to this complete peace and security and can ha, we want to give assurance to those outside as well as inside kandahar, there are no security. we haven't heard of any untoward incident in other provinces, and there is complete peace throughout the whole country. me. so if people are fed up with fighting of gosh, that are challenges. and for the 1st time, the guns are fallen silent, but there are great challenges waiting ahead for the new government,

one of the drug and 2nd, the economy people warranted the national community to realize that one has gone had better dia, right? tens of thousands of people have been killed. and what the people of done now warn be the philippine government is refusing to cooperate with an investigation into its so called war on drugs. the international criminal court approved the inquiry, and prosecutors will look into allegations of widespread human rights abuses. general alan duncan reports now from manila, when it comes to the international criminal court, the philippine government stand is always been consistent. it says it does not recognize. i see jurisdiction over president rodrigo to and his government after he has withdrawn as the signatory of the room statute in 2019. but the have based tribunal has remained defiant and announced it will open a full investigation into detail to so called war drugs,

which has killed thousands of filipinos. the philippine government says at least 6000 people have been killed in police, lead operations since 2016. but whites groups believe that number could go as high as 30000 to tear to drug war is implemented across the country. many of the victims were women and children, and most of them come from impoverished communities. this is why detect as drug war has long been seen as one against the poor to give us a book. and i think even that difference liver is a big window of opportunity, a chance for to have a 3rd. if not, why don't you because their own issues, just them from their perspective and 1st step, the investigation will also cover a period when 230 was mayor, devil city into southern philippines. were prosecutors believe there has been

a similar repeated pattern of extra judicial killing. it's going to be a blood to fight. many believe to take. rhetoric serves as strong evidence. the extra judicial killings in the philippines are state sponsored. even though it may take months or years before witnesses are called to testify, or warrant may be issued families of drug war victims already see this as a moral victory and the step towards justice. they say president rodrigo there, they may be popular domestically, but he holds the distinction of being the only filipino leader to be tried and investigated in the international criminal court for crimes against humanity. jim l as in dog and i'll just 0. manila, france as a special forces of killed and i believe i'll suffer, are we the leader of ice or in the greatest horror region?

president of money mccrory hailed the operation as a success in france as fights against armed groups in west africa to help nicholas . hark has more from duck we've heard from the french defense ministry that this neutralizing of, of alto, ari as, as the, as michael describes, it happens in august, but it's only now that there are down thing, the official death of the head of the isolate philly in the region, this worry, was behind us attacked against american forces in the air, but also against french forces and african maryan forces on the ground in the tri border areas. burkina faso molly and the share. he is a significant figure. he was part of an other arm group before that el mariachi tune 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 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 saying that they would do the same. we know that the russian mercenary group, wagner, 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 insure security. the trial over the emissions cheating scandal known as diesel gates has begun in germany for former executives of volkswagen. are accusing accused rather of using manipulated software to make vehicle emissions appear low

up. it was exposed by us regulators and has already cost volkswagen billions and fines and compensation to car owners, ex seo martin ventercore and will have his day in court at a later date, due to ill health. much needed fuel has arrived in lebanon to ease widespread shortages. the 1st of several truck convoys carrying a radiant fuel from syria was arranged by the arrival back, has been group shipments violate us sanctions imposed on radio sales zeros and a hot reports. now from a route the us sanctions, iranian fuel arrives in lebanon. rock overland from syria, also under american sanctions, has below which arranged the shipment to help alleviate the widespread fuel and diesel shortages in the country sees this as victory again, united states. and if we assume we have enough supplies for september and october,

and then we decide if there is a need for 5th, 6th, and 7th ship importing from iran, risks us action under the current sanctions. that is why the iranian backed lebanese armed group says it chose to offload at a port in syria and bring the supplies through illegal crossings. so lebanon won't have to deal with sanctions related complications. but politics was also at play. has bala has managed this current crisis very well by presenting itself as opposed to trying to protect the human population and our country. and this, at all is really difficult to challenge or even found the united states to oppose the bye. didn't have ministration, which considers has a lot of terrorist organization has chosen not to fun. some say it is because of efforts to restart negotiations with iran on a nuclear deal. lebanon is entangled and the regional conflict and fuel is being

used as a political weapon has been law is being accused of trying to expand iran's influence here, the response of the united states has so far been muted, but it is supporting another alternative. despite sanctions on syria, it is showing flexibility to allow lebron on to import natural gas from egypt and electricity from jordan. this is parts of daily life in lebanon. fuel is scarce and nearly bankrupt state. the lebanese government has not commented on the deal to import fuel from iran, but experts say energy sources from iran, egypt and jordan are temporary solutions that won't fulfill long term need. we need to base you power plant. we need to resort forgot. we need to invest in new overs as we need to have a good governance as well as part of the system. has bala is not the form of entity that is willing to do the form for his valor is not doing anything in the

government or anything in the parliament who for the crisis of the energy for now has belong, accuse of exploiting the weakness of a state mired in corruption is celebrating the geopolitical implication of what appears to be the pro iran alliances growing power. then there should be root, as in bob in visual says turn worthless old bank notes into works of art prudence. chima to a is using the $1000000000.00 and even trillions and bob with dollar notes and paintings. the currency was abandoned in 2009. excessive money printing cost hyper inflation, which raised people's savings. me and trying to bring that element with by and like subtle greeting for people to see if you all think. so when someone looks good and then we'll get that the

pain thing that is called them for civilians have paid history after being sent into orbit on a space ex flight with no professional astronauts on board. the inspiration for mission blasted off from cape canaveral in florida, rob rentals reports lift off for inspiration for lasting the world's 1st all civilian crew into orbit. the space ex falcon 9 rocket took off from florida on a 3 day mission that will take it 575 kilometers above the earth. higher even than the orbit of the international space station, on board businessman and pilot jared isaac, men who chartered the rocket from space ex isaac men, has piloted a variety of the aircraft and will be at the controls. i just really felt at the time, inspiration for was created and knowing that this was, this was going to be a 1st and there's a lot of responsibility that comes with that. you know,

we had to send a message that there real, real problems and real obligations we have to pay attention to here on earth in order to earn the right to make progress for tomorrow. the price tag to the flight was not disclosed. but isaac mon hopes to raise approximately $200000000.00 for st . jude children's hospital in memphis, tennessee. he donated 100000000 from his own fund. isaac been also paid for a tv ad promoting the mission that aired during the superbowl. the chief medical officer on board will be haley arsenault. she is a physician's assistant and recovered cancer patient who was treated at saint jude's at age 29. she's the youngest us citizen in orbit. i'm really honored to be representing kids with cancer and cancer survivors. but, you know, everyone in life has, has been dealt a certain and everyone's had to overcome something. and i hope that those who are in the process of overcoming something can, can look to me and see the importance of holding on to their fellow am. it's your

astronauts include seeing proctor, a geologist who barely missed being selected as a nasa astronaut in 2009 have been 3 black female astronauts have made it to face. and knowing that i'm going to be the 4th means that i have this opportunity to not only accomplish my dream, but also inspire and fire the next generation of women of color. the 4th space traveler is christ kimbrough sky, and aerospace engineer at defense contractor, lockheed martin. the capsules docking port has been replaced for the occasion with a large window like transparent dome inspiration for is the latest foray into space tourism following sub orbital flights in july by billionaires richard branson and amazon founder jeff bezos. space ex, owned by yet another billionaire ilan mosque is one of the leading companies

planning for a lucrative mass market in space tourism over the coming decades. rob reynolds al jazeera, we can see that 3 astronauts have been on china a space station for the last 3 months for heading home, trying to national space up ministration says they undocked and asenjoe 12 spacecraft on thursday morning. they are expected to land in the gobi desert on friday. aah! could tell you about us. hello adrian, for they can hear it though. how the headlines on al jazeera, the u. s. straightly and the u. k. have announced a new indo pacific security alliance known as office it's being seen as part of a strategy to count a. china's influence in the region. australia will receive nuclear power.
