a crime here, but under pressure internationally, things have started to change in recent months. a major land robber and 2 local mares were run for the changes that offer a glimmer of hope that things could improve before it's too late for all alison and just some quizzes in godaddy. and our 2nd report from the amazon, alessandra visits a community working to conserve the most sensitive and important areas of the rain forest by supporting other ways to make money in the region. you can see dot a $1300.00 gmc right here. and i'll just say we're on saturday the us secretary of defense as china is increasingly engaged in destabilizing military activity near taiwan. lloyd austin was speaking at the shangri la dialogue and singapore. that's a meeting of security officials from around the world. and it comes a day after all that met with china's defense minister, he said, basing won't hesitate to start a war. if taiwan declares independence, we see growing coersion from beijing. we witnessed
7:23 am
a steady increase in provocative and d, stabilizing military activity in taiwan. and that includes p l, a aircraft flying near taiwan in record numbers in recent months. and nearly on a daily basis. we remain focused on maintaining peace stability and the status quo across across the taiwan strait. but the p. r c's moves, threatened to undermine security and stability, and prosperity and the endo pacific. let's get an update with jessica washington. she's joining us now from singapore. so clearly a lot of focus on china and taiwan. jessica, what more is being discussed at that dialog? ah, well that's exactly right. well, most of the attention has been focused on the u. s. and china and relations between those 2 countries. it is of course, important to note that this is
7:24 am
a security summit generally about issues in the asia pacific. as you can see, many delegates, it's very busy here at the shangri la hotel in singapore. and part of the focus is also on human rights issues in the region and how those intersect with security issues. i'm joined now by william fine, who is the director of the good 10 you foundation with an expertise in piece building and conflict analysis really and thank you for joining us today. we're talking about security issues in the region. if you're paying attention particularly to how those relate to human rights issues, is that correct? absolutely. i just, i think we have to really start looking at how security is frames. and particularly if we're talking about regional security, we can't get no issues of human security. i think more and more at these kinds of dialogues, we're actually starting to see more attention being paid to issues of security, which are caused by false migration and also conflicts. so yesterday there was an
7:25 am
analysis of conflicts, the beginning mapping, the man, while conflict. there's been a lot of talk of ukraine here as well. so i do think about it to see a little bit more attention paid to human rights issues and to security from a human perspective in general. regarding specifically the situation in me and my obviously a very important issue for the asia pacific. he said in a situation that really shows how a domestic situation can affect the wider asian pacific region and what effects that we already see. absolutely is jessica. i mean, we comp claim that man, mom is any more a domestic issue. i think that's becoming very, very clear this afternoon. there's going to be a panel specifically focusing on myanmar. and i think, you know, there's really a sense that the entire region and in facts international there's a lot of and a lot of worry about where this price is good to go. you know what? all the next strategies that we could be able to explore, to try to reduce the alms conflict that's taking place and you know,
7:26 am
prevented from very smart running out of control. but it already has slowed of avoidance, right? we have refugees, we have tons, national crime. there are a lot of issues which make this regional problem. and also i think, you know, challenging the sense of principles and function of all the on itself. so there was a lot of issues at stake here. and it's really great to see that it's high on the agenda. we'll hear in southeast asia in seeing more. and of course there are many influential. ringback leaders, defense chiefs from the region, but also around the world are here. do you believe that more pressure should be on those individuals to draw attention to the situation in me and my i'm to stop the violence? i do think so. i think that the regional leaders are actually struggling with what's due next. i think there have been attempts to try to see one of the most effective ways to put more pressure in young way. and that has a limited effect. so i do think that they're all leaders in the region, particularly malaysia, indonesia and
7:27 am
a few others who are really trying to spearhead a slightly bolder approach. so we hope to see that continue. thank you so much for that analysis really. and there are so many topics on the agenda at this shangri la dialogue. the key event that will be watched very closely, of course, is to morrow. the speech by the chinese defense minister general away from home. but that is not to say of course, that there are not many other important issues. the delegates analysts and human rights advocates are also watching very closely. all right, jessica, you'll keep us across the story. thank you so much for the time being. jessica washington reporting from singapore synagogue. political stability is often put down to its commitment to, to fee is a, it's a form of slamming believe focusing on spirituality and inner peace. and this beg reports, the city of medina bay is flourishing as a hub for african sophie pilgrims and international students studying islam. the once we pause the gate door,
