pulls back the curtain and reveals how fear suspicion and conspiracy theories have become the tools of the powerful were in a dangerous territory and that dangerous territory once did what happens now that we literally diverge. that may well be how democracy dies. the truth illusion are just either wall. oh, well, come back a comment about top stories here at this hour. the u. s. as we're to wait that it's called for a thorough and transparent investigation into the coming of al jazeera journalist, charee, and ugly state department spokesman. net price is any investigation must include accountability plans to lift a controversial cobit $19.00 measure on immigration,

. he confirmed they hoped liquefied natural gas. we'll start reaching germany from 2024, says kat i will help contribute to europe's energy security f linus land rover and we've been investing for many years in ellen g. and we're, we're very proud to hopefully the expansion will be there's a gas expansion that will be ready, hopefully by 2026. we understand now the energy security is very important. and gas full is playing a very vital role. and it's going to be very important for the transition period as well. so this is an investment that is very important to us and we're looking forward as well. that especially in the gas sector to explore new markets. now as trainings are voting in a national election with opinion poll showing the opposition labor party naturally ahead of the ruling. conservative coalition minister scott morrison has held a top job for 4 years. labor leader anthony albany,

0 calling on voters to choose change. the campaigns been dominated by rising living costs, climate change, and national security. voting is compulsory. our initial results should be known later on satellite. what's their o'clock? georgia live now from sydney, sarah. so this is playing out to be a bit of a tight race. what can you expect? it certainly is now the boating bose of the polling birds have been opened for a couple of hours. now. we've got big lines in front of us where we are in north city and the polls the whole way through the election campaign has had labor ahead of the coalition being the liberal, a national party. now that lead has narrowed as we enter election day. but at the moment it does have a library here and anthony, i believe daisy, the opposition leader looking to to when will take on the plan is his role. but that's just the poll. the polls had been wrong in the past. we do know that scott morrison's popularity has been whining of light. he enters election day facing allegations of bullying and has promised that if he is elected,

he will change the way he leads. but this, the interesting dynamic in this election campaign has been the, the entrance of a new wave of independence. we've got 20 to female high profile independence. and they are targeting these blue ribbon, or liberal held states around the country. and they've been backed by a group of wealthy climate group known as climate 200. and as i mentioned, trying to unseat some of these liberal em pays. so the voters do that. they appear very disillusion this time around. and therefore, the polls have indicated that i do believe that these independents will pick up a substantial but, and i should say that life is rotting on the unpopularity of scott marson. but i need 7 seats to win. but we also might finish the day without an election results it because of these independence. how the pulses and certainly analysts have said that there is no clear majority labor or the coalition must to form an agreement with all the minor parties or the independence to gain power. it would be what we

call a hung parliament. i'm sarah. so what have been the key issues then for voters during the campaign was been a very much a personnel. he driven campaign. the coalition has been arguing that no one knows who anthony albany easy is. he doesn't have a good reputation on the economy. that's the argument being made by the coalition. of course, the opposition with a live party had been arguing that running with these allegations of bullying and the riding on the unpopularity of scott motions. that's got more so the prime minister. but the key issues we've been looking at the lots of cost of living climate change, the biggest national survey of voters found that one 3rd of people here in australia believe climate change is the most important issue. national security as well as i g, h k. but it is difficult to get a full turn. ah, looking back on australian a political history, john howard tried on but filed, but the independence will be the ones to watch enough. if even

a few independence do a window seat. then we could look at what we mentioned before at the hung parliament. so it's interesting times it's the beginning of the day, and it's a big di ahead in australia. all right, a sarah clark life was there in sydney. sarah, thank you. joe biden's in south korea for his 1st asia trip as us president. he's there to discuss relations with china and north korea's nuclear ambitions. he also says he hopes deals in the region can fix problems with global supply chains. france, larry reports from soul u. s. president biden's 1st stop in south korea, a computer chip planned by samson, that could serve as a model for a multi 1000000000 dollar facility being built in the u. s. that underscores the importance of the semiconductor industry, computer chips, power, modern technology for vehicles to artificial intelligence, but a global chip shortage. since the pandemic has affected the availability of many of these products. 3 quarters of global chip production comes from asia. the biden

administration is now looking to shift some of that to the us. how we'll do that in my view is by working with close partners who do share our values, like the republican career, secure, more of what we need from our allies and partners and bolster our supply chain resilience. the move is also partly driven by china's drive for self sufficiency in ship production with the government pouring billions of dollars into the industry. for the u. s. to maintain its technological advantage, it has to invest in computer chips for south korea, a focal point of precedent biden's visit is an opportunity to strengthen existing ties into a more comprehensive partnership in the am hungry k here. i hope that today's visit will serve as an opportunity for the r o k u. s. relationship to be reborn as an economic security alliance based on advanced technology and supply chain cooperation. president biden's visit comes
